Influencing Factors of Employment Competitiveness in Relation to the Effects on Compensation of Higher Vocational Graduates Serving Regional Rail Transit Sectors

Studying can offer certain benefits for future careers. However, when applying for jobs that require a rail transit background, applicants often find themselves competing with others who have similar educational backgrounds. In such cases, it is a person's employability, including skills, abilities, and personal qualities, that can make them stand out. This research investigated the factors influencing employment competitiveness and their impact on the compensation of higher vocational graduates in the regional rail transit sector. Data was collected from 310 graduate respondents using a highly reliable and validated questionnaire, employing comparative-correlational methods. The study found that factors such as professional cognition, occupational planning, work experience, hobbies and interests, working attitude and abilities, educational background and professional setting, professional learning practical ability, and student cadre experience all play a role in determining employment competitiveness. Additionally, the personal profiles of the respondents were significant in their evaluations of employment competitiveness. Similarly, compensation factors for rail transit higher vocational graduates, including salary and benefit negotiation, taking on additional responsibilities, developing new skills and qualifications, and advocating for fair compensation practices, also have a significant impact on employment competitiveness. A strong correlation was observed between employment competitiveness factors and compensation effect domains, indicating a positive and significant relationship. These findings serve as a basis for developing career programs in schools to ensure the immediate employment prospects of rail transit graduates.

Supporting Effect and Influence Law of Energy‐Absorbing Rockbolts in Soft Rock Roadway with Large Deformation

AbstractTo clarify the supporting effect and influencing factors of energy‐absorbing rockbolts in soft rock roadways with large deformation, by considering four factors including rock deformation, plastic zone, rockbolt force, and stress of the surrounding rock, comparative analysis of no‐rockbolt, conventional rockbolt, and energy‐absorbing rockbolt schemes is conducted. The effect of the energy‐absorbing rockbolt is analyzed based on a self‐developed numerical simulation program, and a study is conducted on the influence of five factors such as the energy‐absorption starting axial force, ultimate yielding distance on the supporting effect. The results show that: 1) Compared to conventional rockbolts, the energy‐absorbing rockbolts maintain a intact support system and continuously providing support resistance within 75 d of calculation. 2) Energy‐absorbing rockbolts significantly increase the maximum and minimum principal stresses of the roadway. The increase in maximum principal stress significantly enhances the range of the bearing arch in the surrounding rock. Energy‐absorbing rockbolts have a high capacity to compensate for radial stresses unloaded. 3) The greater the energy‐absorption starting axial force, the more significant the compensation effect of the rockbolts on the radial stress. Appropriately increasing the ultimate yielding distance and rockbolt length can effectively prevent rockbolt failure and control the area of plastic zone.

Boosting Employee Performance: The Strategic Role of Satisfaction in Human Resource Quality and Compensation

Banks are financial institutions that act as important intermediaries, especially in financial transactions and the national economy. Banks need to optimize their business performance. The company's business performance cannot be separated from the quality of human resources and the role of employee performance. High-quality human resources and effective compensation are important drivers of employee performance, both directly and through increased job satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the effect of human resource quality and compensation on employee performance with employee satisfaction as a mediating variable. This research was conducted at Rural Bank in Bali. Respondents in this study were 57 employees. The analysis technique in this study is Partial Least Square. The findings of this study: 1) human resource quality has a significant positive effect on employee performance 2) compensation has a significant positive effect on employee performance 3) human resource quality has a significant positive effect on employee job satisfaction 4) job satisfaction can positively and significantly mediate the effect of compensation on employee performance 5) job satisfaction can positively and significantly mediate the effect of human resources on employee performance. The practical implications of the research for human resource managers are to increase employee satisfaction through managing the quality of human resources and providing fair compensation as a strategy to encourage optimal performance. This research also makes a theoretical contribution to understanding the mediating mechanism of employee satisfaction in the context of the relationship between human resource quality, compensation, and employee performance.

Paired nerve stimulation with selective compensation effect.

In this study we investigate the selective compensation of paired peripheral nerves in healthy humans, focusing on distinct axonal conduction velocities in different fibre types. Using paired associative stimulation (PAS) with adjustable parameters, we aimed to modulate and compensate for neuronal activity along the median nerve. Six healthy volunteers (3 male, 3 female, aged: 22-49) participated in the current study. We conducted 30 experiments with the following protocol. A pair of pulses with the following parameters were applied to each volunteer: amplitude, pulse width and inter-pulse delay was generated by the dual-core programmed microcontroller STM32H745xI/G while values were set by one-board computer Jetson Nano. The microcontroller provided a pair of pulses to the DAC that applied it to nerve stimulation sites via a stimulator. During experiments, we used the following ranges: (a) current amplitudes [0-20mA], (b) pulse width [250-500 μs] and (c) delays [50-250 μs]. As the measurement of the stimulation effectiveness, we used the finger's contraction angles. Our findings reveal a significant selective compensation (inhibitory) effect over the motor responses, demonstrated through variations in finger displacement angles. By optimizing individual parameters-pulse width, inter-pulse delay, and compensatory currents-we successfully induced motor response compensation effects. Notably, consistent compensatory effects were observed across all volunteers using a pulse width of (250 μs) and an inter-pulse delay of (50 μs). These results highlight PAS's potential for developing non-invasive neuromodulation devices. However, further research is required to evaluate its efficacy in individuals with spasticity and upper motor neuron deficits.

Angle-independent topological interface states in one-dimensional photonic crystal heterostructures containing hyperbolic metamaterials.

Topological interface states (TISs), known for their distinctive capabilities in manipulating electromagnetic waves, have attracted significant interest. However, in conventional all-dielectric one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) heterostructures, TISs strongly depend on incident angle, which limits their practical applications. Here, we realize an angle-independent TIS in 1DPC heterostructures containing hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) for transverse magnetic polarized waves. We begin with the design of two kinds of angle-independent photonic bandgaps (PBGs) in two 1DPCs with symmetric unit cells based on the phase-variation compensation effect. From the Zak phases of the upper and lower bands, the topological properties of PBGs in two 1DPCs are different. By harnessing different topological properties, we can realize an angle-independent TIS in the heterostructure composed of these two 1DPCs. Moreover, we further discover that the angle-independent property of the TIS is robust against the layer thickness variation due to topological protection, making the experimental realization of the angle-independent TISs more feasible. It is noted that the TISs still depend on the incident angle under transverse electric polarized waves since the iso-frequency curve of the HMM is a circle. Empowered by the polarization-dependent property of the TIS, we design a wide-angle polarization selector with an operating angle range up to 45.9°. Our work provides a viable route to realizing angle-independent TISs with substantial angular tolerances under current experimental conditions, which facilitates the design of optical devices including polarizers, filters, and sensors with robustness against disorder.

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics Analysis and Its Application to Cigarette Flavouring of Methyl Cyclopentenolone Succinate Menthol Diester

ABSTRACTMethyl cyclopentenolone succinate menthol diester (compound 5) was synthesised from methyl cyclopentenolone, menthol and succinic anhydride using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4‐dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) methods. The thermal decomposition process and kinetic behaviour of the compounds were studied at various heating rates (10°C, 20°C, 40°C, 60°C and 80°C min−1) using thermogravimetry‐derivative thermogravimetry (TG‐DTG), Kissinger‐Akahira‐Sunose (KAS) method, Flynn‐Wall‐Ozawa (FWO) method and Coats–Redfern method. The research revealed that TG curves approached the high‐temperature end with increasing heating rates, and the peak temperature of heat loss rate on the DTG curves tended to rise, but the magnitude of the change was smaller than that of heating rate. The apparent activation energy (Ea) of thermal decomposition increased with the conversion rate. The Ea of compound 5 ranged from 77.65 to 154.05 kJ mol−1 and from 82.56 to 156.43 kJ mol−1 calculated by KAS and FWO, respectively. The thermal decomposition process models of the compounds were found to be one‐dimensional diffusion models (D1). The results of the kinetic compensation effect showed that the fitting result of the KAS method was better than that of the FWO method. Pyrolysis results indicated the production of aromatic substances such as methyl cyclopentenolone, menthol and esters. Additionally, the results of cigarette flavouring showed that the smoking quality of cigarettes was improved by adding compound 5. In summary, the findings of this study not only offer insights into the thermal decomposition and development of slow‐release flavours under heated conditions, but also provide valuable references for assessing the thermal stability and utilisation potential of various substances, including biomass.

The influence of marine ecological compensation policy on enterprises’ environmental investment

PurposeThis article investigates the influence of marine ecological compensation policy on enterprises’ environmental investment and explores whether enterprise ownership could impact the said influence.Design/methodology/approachUsing the data of China's A-share listed enterprises for the period 2007–2020, the paper develops a difference-in-differences model and a moderating effect model.FindingsThe outcomes corroborate that the marine ecological compensation policy positively influences enterprises' environmental investment, and the effect is nonlinear. Specifically, the marine ecological compensation policy significantly impacts enterprises with lower and higher environmental investment. The empirical evidence from the moderation model shows that the effect of the policy is more significant on the non-state-owned enterprises’ environmental investment.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings are based on a sample of 559 listed A-share enterprises in China. Additional studies could focus on data from other countries.Practical implicationsBased on the present scenario of Chinese enterprises' environmental investment, the results report that the marine compensation policy needs to be differentiated for firms having different ownership and different levels of environmental investment. The study provides valuable insights for the government to formulate marine ecological compensation policies.Originality/valueMarine ecology increasingly affects the economic development of countries, and the study on the influence of relevant environmental policies is of practical significance. However, most scholars concentrate on the research of environmental regulation, and have little focus on the policy effect of marine environmental compensation. This paper studies how marine ecological compensation policy influences the environmental investment behavior of enterprises, and further analyzes the difference in the policy effect caused by the nature of enterprises’ ownership, which not only fills the gap in this field, but also provides a scientific basis for the formulation and adjustment of marine ecological compensation policy.

Student (dis)satisfaction in UK higher education: teaching-only contracts, esteem uncertainty and research intensity

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of teaching-only contracts on student satisfaction in UK Higher Education, with a focus on esteem uncertainty through the lens of asset specificity. Utilising an institutional-level student dissatisfaction index, we analyse the combined effects of teaching-only contracts, faculty compensation and research intensity. The findings suggest that while teaching-only contracts can enhance student satisfaction by encouraging pedagogical innovation, their positive impacts are at risk of being diminished by issues of esteem uncertainty, especially due to limited opportunities for career advancement and institutional focus on research. Our study provides valuable insights for Higher Education policymakers, underlining the importance of addressing the esteem-related challenges academic staff face. By incorporating these factors into policy decisions, it’s possible to bolster educational quality and improve student experiences, ensuring that the advantages of teaching specialisation are not undermined by wider institutional practices.

FPGA Implementation for 24.576-Gbit/s Optical PAM4 Signal Transmission with MLP-Based Digital Pre-Distortion.

In this work, we implemented a short-reach real-time optical communication system using MLP for pre-distortion. Lookup table (LUT) algorithms are commonly employed for pre-distortion in intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) systems. However, storage limitations typically restrict the LUT pattern length to 9, limiting its effectiveness in compensating for nonlinear effects. A multilayer perceptron (MLP) can overcome this limitation by predicting errors and generating pre-distorted signals, thus replacing the extensive storage requirements of LUTs with minimal computational resources. The MLP-based digital pre-distortion (MLP-DPD) technique enables the creation of long-pattern LUTs for improved nonlinear compensation. In this work, an MLP-DPD scheme was implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The FPGA was used to generate a 14.7456 GBaud pre-distorted pulse amplitude modulation 4-level (PAM4) signal. This signal was then transmitted over 20 km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF). At the receiver, the parallel constant modulus algorithm (PCMA) was applied for signal processing. The bit error rate (BER) achieved met the 2.4 × 10-2 threshold for soft-decision forward error correction (SD-FEC), enabling a net transmission bit rate of 24.576 Gbit/s. This approach demonstrates the feasibility of using MLP-DPD for effective nonlinear compensation in high-speed optical communication systems with limited resources.

A Study on the Impact of Different Delay Times on Rock Mass Throwing and Movement Characteristics Based on the FEM–SPH Method

Burst morphology is a crucial indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of blasting, as it directly reflects the actual state of the blasting results. The results of rock displacement following blasting partially reflect the effectiveness of throw blasting, while the rock ejection process serves as the macroscopic manifestation of the blasting method. To accurately assess the impact of different delay times on burst formation, this study addressed the issues of rock movement and ejection in underground blasting. Using three-dimensional modeling, we constructed a FEM–SPH model and utilized LS-DYNA numerical simulation software to investigate the movement patterns of rock in precise delayed blasting scenarios underground. This study explored the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of rock movement post-blasting. Digital electronic detonators were used to set precise inter-row delay times of 25 ms, 50 ms, and 75 ms. The results revealed that the ejection distance of blasted rock in underground mining increased with longer inter-row delay times, while the slope angle of the blasted muck pile decreased as the delay time increased. Furthermore, at a micro level, the study found that a 75 ms delay created new free surfaces, providing effective compensation space for subsequent blasts, thereby improving blasting outcomes. Analysis of the 25 ms and 50 ms delay periods indicated a clamping effect on rock movement. Field comparisons of blasting results were conducted to validate the influence of precise delay times on the movement patterns and spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of blasted rock.

Induced Charge-Compensation Effect for Boosting Photocatalytic Water Splitting in Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Imine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising for photocatalytic water splitting, but their performance is often constrained by inefficient charge separation due to the high electron localization nature of polar imine bonds. In this study, we have optimized the electron delocalization across the imine linkage within a COF by implementing a charge compensation effect. This effect is achieved when a strong electron-donating thieno[3,2-b]thiophene linker is directly attached to the iminic carbon of a zinc-porphyrinic COF. This modification significantly reduces the electron binding effect within the imine bonds of the COF, facilitating both in-plane charge separation and out-plane charge transfer to the catalytic site. Conversely, the use of strong electron-withdrawing pyrizine linker aggravates the electron localization at the imine linkage in the ZnP-Pz variant. Consequently, ZnP-Tt shows a substantially improved photocatalytic water-splitting activity under visible light irradiation, with a hydrogen evolution of 44288±2280 μmol g-1 in 4 h, which exceeds the ZnP-Pz counterpart by a factor of 10. These results offer fresh perspectives for the design of imine-based COFs to overcome their limitations in charge separation efficiency.

Role of ATP citrate lyase and its complementary partner on fatty acid synthesis in gastric cancer

ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) and acyl-CoA short-chain synthetases 2 (ACSS2) are key enzymes in lipid metabolism. We explored the role of ACLY in gastric cancer (GC) and the effect of ACLY and ACSS2 compensation on GC growth. We used immunohistochemistry to verify the expression level of ACLY in GC, shRNA to stably knock down the expression level of ACLY in GC cells. The expression levels of lipid metabolizing enzymes were verified by qPCR and WB, and targeted lipidomics and quantification of lipid metabolism-related indicators helped us to understand the changes in lipid metabolism. Finally, subcutaneous graft tumors validate our findings from in vitro experiments. ACLY is upregulated in GC tissues, downregulation of ACLY reduced lipid accumulation and inhibited GC proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. ACSS2 maintains cell growth by compensatory elevation to maintain fatty acid synthesis activity in ACLY-depleted GC cells. Inhibition of ACSS2 enhanced the inhibitory effect of downregulation of ACLY on the growth of transplanted tumors in nude mice. Downregulation of ACLY inhibited GC cell growth in vitro and in vivo. ACSS2 was compensated to increase to maintain cell growth in ACLY-depleted GC cells.
