MARITIME DEPLOYMENT PLANNING AND EXECUTION FOR FIELD TESTING OF OCEAN CURRENT POWER GENERATOR

To develop ocean current power generation, this study explored the planning and execution of the installation and deployment of a 20kW Floating Kuroshio Turbine (FKT) system and anchoring system for field-testing in the southwest coast of Liuqiu Island. During the experiment, the 20kW FKT and anchoring system were loaded onto a vessel from the Kaohsiung Port Intercontinental Container Center by a barge and tugboat for deployment in the southwest coast of Liuqiu Island. The field testing of the 20kW FKT was conducted during this period, and upon completion, the unit will be retrieved. The deployment and retrieval of marine devices are easily affected by wave conditions, which increase the difficulty of the operation. Therefore, when designing the hanging and unhooking system, under the consideration of safety, the convenience of operation for the operators should be simplified as much as possible and safety, The study aims to further develop Taiwan's domestic ocean current power generation technology and provides maritime engineering experience through the installation of the 20kW FKT unit and field mooring tests. Additionally, this research seeks to facilitate a local marine green energy industry development through the economic benefits and commercialization of ocean current power generation.

Agricultural mechanization and the performance of the local Chinese economy

In this study, we analyze the impact of agricultural mechanization on the local Chinese economy from 2010 to 2020. Findings based on panel data and instrumental variable methods show that agricultural mechanization led to a significant decline in the local gross domestic product. In particular, agricultural mechanization changes the sector’s production and lowers its output value. Agricultural mechanization has reduced the need for labor to such an extent that young Chinese tend to seek jobs in the non-farming sector, leading to a fall in the local agricultural labor supply and household consumption, adversely affecting the development of local industries and service sectors. Mechanization has also led to cash crops being increasingly replaced by grain crops, reducing the total agricultural output. Finally, this paper presents some policy suggestions for agricultural production and rural development.

游客与村民双重感知下的传统村落旅游发展研究

Rural tourism has gradually become an important support for rural development and revitalization. It can promote the comprehensive development of local rural revitalization, accelerate the implementation of rural revitalization strategies, and increase the economic income of farmers and activate the rural cultural environment. Based on a field survey of Zhengying Village in southern Yunnan, this study analyzes the current tourism development status of Zhengying Village from the perspectives of both villagers and tourists, and identifies a series of challenges that are not conducive to promoting the development of traditional village tourism. On this basis, in order to enhance the tourism experience of tourists, increase the income of villagers, and promote the development of local tourism industry, it is necessary for grassroots governments to coordinate tourism planning and design, cultural and tourism departments to innovate cultural and tourism promotion methods, village collectives to enhance cultural excavation capabilities, villagers to stimulate internal service motivation, highlight the characteristics of rural tourism, and promote the development and growth of local tourism industry.

Evaluation and Source Apportionment on Potentially Toxic Elements Pollution of Agricultural Soil in Mango Planting Areas in Panzhihua City, China

ABSTRACT Heavy metal pollution in agricultural soil has a wide range of sources and an enormous scope of influence, bringing about severe environmental risk. In this study, we used Pearson correlation analysis, combined with principal component and cluster analysis (PCA/CA) to comprehensively analyze the sources of soil heavy metal contamination in a mango plantation area in Panzhihua City. We performed a spatial distribution of heavy metal contamination levels via ArcGIS for single factor and Nemerow Contamination Index. The results showed that PTEs exceeded background values of soil pollution in Sichuan Province. The enrichment of Cr, Ni and Zn were caused by the development of local industry. Cu is mainly from atmospheric dust. Various pollution sources controlled the accumulation of Cd, whereas that of As and Pb were related to agricultural activities and transportation. The spatial distribution of the pollution indices indicated that the soil in the study area was mild to severe pollution with compound PTEs. Chemical speciation analysis showed that the ecological risk of PTEs enrichment in the study area was slight. This study highlights the geographic distribution of heavy metal contamination levels and source resolution, providing targeting for local regulatory authorities to improve soil environmental quality.

Study on the development path of cultural tourism integration in Yubai Village in the context of rural revitalization

As a historical node on the coal transportation route along the Old Road of Western Beijing, Yubai Village served as an important business travel station. However, as time passed by, the Old Road of Western Beijing transport line gradually declined, the Mentougou District coal yard shut down, the service function of Yubai Village disappeared, and the local industry development became slow, necessitating revitalization of the village economy. At present, rural revitalization has become an important strategy to promote rural modernization, and Yubai village has ushered in new opportunities for development. The village can rely on its regional advantages, adjust its own development direction, and become a distribution center on the tourism route. Based on the previous field investigation and literature review of Yubai Village, this paper integrates the current resources of the village, analyzes its realistic development predicament, and, from the perspective of culture and tourism integration, proposes new strategies suitable for the development of Yubai Village, such as improving the overall reception services, improving the village landscape node, improving the village road system, carrying out research and education activities, and developing derivative cultural and creative brands. The purposes are to extend the stay time of tourists and give full play to the function of a service station, realize the revitalization of industry, promote the economic development of the village, and provide a reference for the development of similar villages in the future.

Research on Mixed Education Teaching Reform in the Era of Internet plus

Nowadays, the technology of "Internet plus" is developing very rapidly. Its cooperation with education promotes the innovative development of educational reform practice, improves the vitality of education. The cooperation of online and offline education has innovated teaching ideas and changed the teaching situation. It fully enhances students' proactive practical skills, thereby improving their comprehensive quality level, developing new educational concepts, and promoting innovation in new teaching models. Tourism behavior prediction based on social network analysis employs social network analysis techniques to predict the behavior patterns of tourists in different stages of their travel, such as destination selection, itinerary planning, and activity participation. By analyzing the behavior patterns of tourists on social media platforms, social network analysis algorithms can identify the factors that influence their decision-making, such as personal preferences, social influence, and situational context, and generate personalized recommendations to improve their travel experience. For example, if a tourist has shown a preference for outdoor activities on social media, tourism behavior prediction systems can recommend relevant activities and destinations that match their interests. These systems can also incorporate real-time data, such as weather forecasts and traffic conditions, to adjust recommendations accordingly. Overall, tourism behavior prediction based on social network analysis can provide tourists with more personalized and satisfactory travel experiences, while also promoting the development of local tourism industries.

First Report of the Occurrence of Diaporthe nobilis Causing Postharvest Fruit Rot on ‘Shine Muscat’ Grape in Yuncheng, China

In recent years, ‘Shine Muscat’ (Vitis labruscana × Vitis vinifera) has been the most popular table grape among consumers in Asian countries (Choi et al., 2021). In November 2020, fruit rot was observed in packing house 2 months after cold-stored in Yuncheng (35°16′N, 111°08′E), Shanxi Province, China. Of 38 boxes (5 kg per box) grape were selected randomly from the packing house with a stock of 7,000 kg. The incidence of grape rot was 71.5%, observed in 143 of the 200 clusters sampled. The diseased fruit showed symptoms including pedicel browning, and extending lesions and softening of berries. Samples (1 mm2) cut from the border between diseased and healthy tissue were surface sterilized with 70% ethanol for 1 min, then rinsed with sterile distilled water thrice, and placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plate 25 ° C in the dark for 5 days. After subculturing for three times, 26 isolates with a similar type of fungal colony were obtained. Colonies on PDA was initially white fluffy aerial, but gradually turned grey. Pycnidia were black and globes, producing α and β conidia. α conidia abundant, aseptate, hyaline, ellipsoid, both ends obtuse, biguttulate, 6.52~9.05 μm×2.19~3.25 μm (n=50). β conidia abundant, hyaline, aseptate, filiform, flexuous to J-shaped, 22.79~36.75 μm×1.24~1.92 μm (n=50). For further identification, phylogenetic analysis of combined internal transcribed spacer (ITS), β-tubulin (TUB), translation elongation factor (EF1-α) and calmodulin (CAL) datasets were carried out. The representative isolate SS1 and SS2 were selected for identification. Primers ITS1 and ITS4 (White et al. 1990) were used to amplify the ITS region. The gene fragments of TUB, CAL and EF1-α were amplified by the primers Bt2a/Bt2b (Glass and Donaldson 1995), CAL228F/CAL737R and EF1-728F/EF1-986R, respectively (Carbone and Kohn 1999). The sequences were deposited in GenBank (SS1: MW644526 for ITS, OQ718912 - 4 for CAL, TEF-1α, and TUB, respectively; SS2: MW644527 for ITS, OQ718915 -7 for CAL, TEF-1α, and TUB, respectively). BLASTn analysis of the NCBI database indicated that the ITS, TUB, EF1-α, and CAL sequences had very high nucleotide homology (98 to 100%) to ex-type sequences for D. nobilis (CBS 116953, Gomes et al., 2013) in GenBank (ITS: KC343147, TUB: KC344115, EF1-α: KC343873, and CAL: KC343389). Phylogenetic tree based on the combined sequences revealed that the two isolates clustered well with D. nobilis. To confirm its pathogenicity, 30 fresh-harvested ‘Shine Muscat’ grape fruits were used to mock inoculate. Wounds (5 mm wide by 2 mm deep) were created uniformly at the equator of the grape fruit with a sterile puncher and inoculated with mycelial plugs (5 mm in diameter) prepared from 7-day-old fungal cultures grown on PDA (Wild 1994). The control fruits were inoculated with agar disks without mycelium. Inoculated fruits were placed in a chamber with the 80% relative humidity at 25°C for 8 days. After inoculation, all treated fruits turned brown, with significant necrotic lesions; fruits in control showed no symptoms. Fungal colonies reisolated from inoculated fruits had similar morphological characteristics as D. nobilis. Diaporthe spp. are responsible for diseases on a wide range of plants hosts, causing root and fruit rots, dieback, cankers, leaf spots, blights, decay and wilt (Gomes et al., 2013). D. nobilis causing postharvest grape rot can seriously restrict the development of local grape industry.

A Logical Rationale for Sports Tourism to Help Rural Revitalization under Integrated Transfer Learning Strategy

Abstract As an emerging driving force to promote rural revitalization, sports tourism provides tourists with rich experiences and effectively promotes the development of local sports industry and economy. In this study, an integrated transfer learning model is constructed to assess the development level of rural revitalization by combining a constrained LightGBM-based learner, a Gaussian distribution and an optimized sampling function. Applying this model, this paper calculates the integrated development index of rural revitalization for 21 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China between 2019 and 2023. Particularly for Tianjin, the study finds that its comprehensive development index for rural revitalization is relatively low, only 0.244 in 2023. Analyzing the cases of six typical villages in Tianjin, the study finds that sports tourism significantly impacts rural revitalization. During the five years, the average annual growth of tourist arrivals amounted to 125,400 visitors, and the average tourism revenue in 2023 reached 9.686 billion yuan. Meanwhile, these villages had an average of 3.79 points in the development level of living affluence, which is a high level. The study provides empirical support for sports tourism to help rural revitalization. It provides practical references for the future development direction and planning of rural sports tourism, emphasizing the critical role of sports tourism in promoting the comprehensive development of villages.

쉬저우(徐州) 지엔즈(剪紙) 문양(紋樣)의 문화 창작물 제품 디자인 적용에 관한 연구

In the context of integration of culture and tourism, the effective application of folk art in cultural creative products is of great significance to the development of local cultural industry. Xuzhou paper-cutting is the only world-class intangible cultural heritage project in the northern Jiangsu region of China. Its high humanistic value and artistic characteristics are widely used in modern art design. The application of cultural and creative products relative to paper-cutting in Xuzhou mainly focuses on two-dimensional decorative and ornamental products, which is short of diversity in form and not practical. In addition, it doesn’t meet the aesthetic needs of living of modern people. This article studies paper-cut works by Wang Guiying and proposes principles for the design of cultural and creative products relative to paper-cutting by analyzing the typical “goose” pattern in Wang’s paper cutting handcrafts. By exploring the application value of Xuzhou paper-cutting in cultural and creative product design and demonstrating the feasibility of the design principles via visiting experts, this article hopes to provide some reference for the modern inheritance and innovative development of paper-cutting culture.

The Sino-Nigeria Cooperation: A Commentary on the Implications on Nigerian Economic Security

This paper examines the implications of the Sino-Nigeria cooperation on Nigeria's economic security. Over the past few decades, China and Nigeria have strengthened their bilateral relations through various economic agreements and partnerships. As China's influence in Africa grows, the nature and extent of its involvement in Nigeria's economy have raised concerns about the potential impacts on Nigeria's economic security. The study explores the key areas of collaboration between China and Nigeria, such as trade, investment, and aid. It assesses the implications of these partnerships, weighing their effects on Nigeria's economic independence and economic security. By analyzing the trends in bilateral trade, foreign direct investment, and infrastructure projects, the paper aims to identify the potential risks and opportunities that the Sino-Nigeria cooperation presents. The study found that although bilateral cooperation with China increases Nigeria’s economic security through increased investment, trade, and support for infrastructure development, there are multiple risks associated with this cooperation. This includes the potential debt issues and lack of transfer of technology. The paper however recommends that there is a need for Nigeria to prioritize the development and support of local industries to increase their competitiveness against Chinese imports.

An extended intelligent technique for multiple-attribute decision-making under single-valued neutrosophic sets and applications to sustainable development evaluation of rural ecotourism

With the development of society and the times, the socialist modernization cause in China is constantly developing, and the improvement of the economy has also driven the development of rural ecotourism industry in China. The unique natural terrain and cultural customs in rural areas have promoted the continuous development of local ecotourism industry, which has had a positive impact on the economic development of rural areas and not only solved the employment problem of the majority of the population in rural areas. It can also bring a continuous stream of economic benefits and continuously improve the living standards of local residents. Rural ecotourism refers to a rural tourism activity that takes place in rural areas, supported by the agricultural industry, and attracted by the rural environment and typical rural ecotourism resources, with the concept of ecotourism. Rural ecotourism mainly takes the form of rural scenery, agricultural participation, and folk experience, integrating sightseeing experience, cognition, and tourism activities. The main principles of rural tourism development are agricultural support, people-oriented, ecological protection, community participation, income feedback, and ecological home construction. The sustainable development evaluation of rural ecotourism is a classical multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) issue. In such paper, the generalized weighted Bonferroni mean (GWBM) operator and power average (PA) is constructed for MADM with single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs). Then, the single-valued neutrosophic number power generalized BM (SVNNPGBM) operator is built and then the MADM decision methods are proposed based on the SVNNPGBM operator. Finally, an example for sustainable development evaluation of rural ecotourism and some comparative analysis were given to demonstrate the SVNNPGBM method.

Socio–economic Determinants of Local Tourism Industry Development in Tanzania: A Case of Tarangire National Park, Arusha Region

This study was undertaken in Tarangire national park northern Tanzania looking on local tourism development as literatures shows domestic visitors is growing slowly by 20.4% in 2022 from 14.1% on 2019 comparing to international visitors which rose by 81.9% in 2022 from 40.4% in 2019 visiting various tourist destinations in Tanzania. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the perception of local community on local tourism industry and investigating the socio-economic determinants of local tourism development in order to inform the best approaches to be used as a catalyst for local tourism development in Tanzania. The study adopted a mixed research design where quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used. Simple random and purposive sampling was used to select respondents for the study through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, observation and document review as methods used to collect data. A total of 134 respondents were involved in the study. Logistic regression was used to make analytical statistics for quantitative findings while content analysis was used for qualitative data. The findings revealed that, local visitors had a positive perception on visiting the tourist destinations of the country during their holidays for refreshment and learning new experiences on local tourism activities. The study revealed that, three out of eight socio-economic determinants which are income of the local tourist, promotion of tourist destination and accessibility of the tourist destinations are statistically significant at P< 0.05 with 95% confidence levels. Based on the findings, this study concludes that the will of local community to visit national parks is hindered by low income, low promotion coverage and poor park accessibility. Therefore, for domestic tourism to grow, the study recommends the authority to improve accessibilities whereby local tourist can get in using their own means of transport as to reduce cost of transport (hiring a tour guide truck). Also, Tanzania Tourist Board and other government agencies should strengthen its marketing strategies and dissemination of appropriate information through social Medias. Finally, the tourism stakeholders should create a mechanism that brings affordable price on tourism services especially accommodation and transport in tourist destinations of the country.

Indigenous Military Reforms from the Outside: The Paradox of the UAE Armed Forces Modernisation

ABSTRACT In the past two decades, the United Arab Emirates has pursued the goal of its military modernization through various reforms that were driven by the aspirations of its rulers for self-sufficiency and strategic autonomy. This meant a greater emphasis on building local skills and resources allowing Abu Dhabi to claim the indigenous character of that transformation. A stronger focus on indigenous capacities implied a decrease of that country’s dependence on Western patronage. However, the study of the Emirati military transformation reveals a complex and somewhat contradictory reality: the push for a local military reform still relying for the most part on foreign advisors. This article argues that this transformation may have strengthened the technical effectiveness of the Emirati military apparatus, but it did so, not by abandoning past ties to Western powers, but merely by adapting these ties. In fact, the “Emiratisation” of the country’s national security relied on the use of foreign expertise at all levels: from the training and education of officers to the command of military elite units and the development of local military industries. Such reliance on outside expertise eventually compromises the initial goal of the UAE for greater autonomous capability.

Exploring the impacts of spatial regulation on environmentally sustainable development: A new perspective of quasi–experimental evaluation based on the National Key Ecological Function Zones in China

AbstractWith increasing ecological damage caused by regional development, many countries seek to promote sustainable development through spatial regulation. This study treated China's development of National Key Ecological Functional Zones (NKEFZ) as a quasi–natural experiment, applying a time–varying difference–in–differences model to data from 148 water quality monitoring cross–section points of major river systems in China from 2004 to 2018. The results revealed that NKEFZ improved the mean of comprehensive water quality (CWQ) and individual water quality indicators of dissolved oxygen and ammonia nitrogen content index by restricting urbanization and increasing government investment. The mean value of CWQ was improved by about 0.22 grades, and the optimization effect of spatial regulation on average water quality was more prominent in coastal cities, cities with high–pollution levels, and large–sized cities. Nevertheless, the impact of NKEFZ on water quality exhibited a “Matthew effect”, in which NKEFZ were not effective in improving the bottom line standard of water quality in the pilot zones, as NKEFZ did not significantly improve the peak values of CWQ or individual pollutant indicator. In addition, an economic effect estimation indicated that NKEFZ significantly facilitated local economic growth and primary industry development and had a significantly negative impact on secondary industry growth and foreign investment. This study contributes new evidence for measuring the effect of the trans–regional spatial regulation, eliciting policy implications for improving ecological spatial regulation and incentive mechanisms, and promoting the sustainable development of the regional environment and economy.

Implementation and Use of Digital, Green and Sustainable Technologies in Internal and External Transport of Manufacturing Companies

The concept of Industry 5.0 provides a human-centered, sustainable, and resilient manufacturing system with a high emphasis on green technologies. This paper will examine the current use and perception of the green and digital technologies in the internal and external transport systems of Croatian manufacturing companies, relying on the continuous work of the authors in the field of local manufacturing industry development and digitalization. On a sample of 112 companies, statistical analysis of the results has shown that the greatest challenge in the digital technologies implementation is the unavailability of the technology on the market and employee resistance to change. The companies perceive benefits of renewable resource usage in internal transport in the rise in environmental awareness and increased flexibility, while the productivity increase and human safety improvement are the crucial reasons for the digitalization of internal transport in Croatian manufacturing companies. In external transport, the use of renewable energy sources is very rare, due to high price and low endurance of the vehicles, but the main reasons for its future possible implementation are environmental awareness, profitability, and sustainability. The majority of the companies in Croatia are still not familiar with Industry 4.0 or 5.0 concept but have shown a high interest for digital and green technology implementation to enable sustainable future development.

Research on the Training Path of Live E-commerce Talents Oriented by Industry Development

The growth of user scale and application popularization of live streaming e-commerce promote the transformation of live streaming stores to store live streaming, live streaming scene to scene live streaming, and the transformation of web celebrity staff to staff web celebrity. The stock talents of live streaming e-commerce can no longer meet the development of the industry. Long-term training of applied talents in higher vocational colleges can provide human resources to the industry and promote the development of local industries. However, the rapid development of live-streaming e-commerce industry leads to the shortage of industrial development and talent supply, the dislocation of industrial demand and talent training, the disconnect between practical training conditions and training requirements, and the lack of complementarity between higher vocational teachers and industries. According to the new in April 2022, the revision of "vocational education law" requirements to promote enterprise depth to participate in vocational education, education fusion is live electricity talent training, talent training to adhere to the industry development, post, class, competition, and training process, college teachers and industry mentor complementary development, jointly promote live electricity talent training.

The hare and the tortoise: A comparative study of Vietnam's and Kenya's pathways to local enterprise development through foreign direct investment

ABSTRACT Almost simultaneously, two developing countries – Kenya and Vietnam – set out to promote industrial development through FDI. Vietnam embarked on a targeted strategy aimed at selecting FDI that could specifically aid the country’s strategic export sectors through linkages to local industry. In contrast, Kenya embarked on a cross-the-board FDI attraction policy with no specific sector orientation and with few specific linkage policies. This paper asks how FDI has contributed to local industry development in the two countries. Based on an analysis of firm level data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey, the paper compares the two countries’ ability to generate spillovers from FDI spillovers and discusses what explains differences and similarities. The paper finds that in spite of the obvious differences between the two countries in terms of local industrial development and policy, firm and industry factors appeared to be better predictors of variations in spillovers than country level factors. Among the policy implications drawn are that developing countries should focus their FDI policies on firms and industries that have high linkage and hence spillover potential rather than adopting cross-the-board policies.

The impact of the increase in import verification fees on local production capacity of selected medicines in Uganda

BackgroundThe local manufacture of pharmaceuticals is an opportunity to develop a broader manufacturing and knowledge-based economy and reduce over dependence on imports. To promote local production, the Ugandan government introduced Buy Uganda Build Uganda policy geared towards promoting use of locally manufactured goods. It also increased import verification fees in 2017 for 37 selected locally manufactured essential medicines from 2 to 12% to discourage importation of these medicines. This study assessed the impact of the increase in verification fees on local production capacity of the medicines.MethodsThis was a mixed methods study looking at production capacity before and after introduction of the 12% import verification fees. It was conducted among six (6) local pharmaceutical industries in Uganda and seven (7) key informant interviews with experts in the pharmaceutical sector between February and September 2021.ResultsThe overall increase in local production capacity of the selected medicines was 8.2% from 2017 to 2020. The most significant increases were in the production of capsules (100.6%, P = 0.03) and oral liquids (170.8%, P = 0.0001). All the industries registered an increase in number of employees between 2017 and 2020 with an average percentage increase of 42%. There was a 14.7% (95% CI 2.76–17.6%) change in installed capacity of the compression machine (P = 0.033) and 27.7% (95% CI 24.6–33.9%) change in installed capacity of the Blow–Fill–Seal (BFS) filling machines (P = 0.011). There was also an increase in the number and capacity of installed utilities such as the heating ventilation and air conditioning (968%) and standby generators (131%). Only two (2) industries registered an increase in critical quality control equipment and one had all the critical equipment available by 2020. Most of the key informants reported positive impact of the increment of import verification on local manufacturing capacity.ConclusionsLocal pharmaceutical production capacity increased with the increase in import verification fees with significant increases in production of oral liquids and capsules. Successful implementation of policies supporting local production will promote the development of local pharmaceutical industries. Governments should consider increasing the list of medicines to benefit from the import verification fees increase by adding all essential generic medicines for which there is adequate domestic production capacity and technical skills.
