Site selection for a high-level nuclear waste repository in Germany: a short guide

The government agency BGE started a site selection process for a high-level nuclear waste repository in 2017. The first phase of data screening was completed in 2020 and resulted in the identification of search areas covering 54% of the national territory. The actual second phase will be completed by 2027 or later, and the areas for aboveground investigations will be identified. The obligatory nongovernment input is provided by follow-up regional conferences, which are best supported by external scientific expertise. The large amount of text documents and maps and the interactive internet tools such a 3D viewer provide a suitable basis for external evaluation. The rationale is to apply stricter criteria than those used in the first phase to drastically reduce the size of the search area. With this updated set of criteria, the size of the search area can be reduced to 2,662 km2 or 0.7% of the national territory. This size is convenient for detailed aboveground investigations such as high-density 3D seismic surveys.

Recent and Local HIV Infections among Newly Diagnosed Cases in Two Districts of Chongqing, China (2019-2021).

Newly diagnosed HIV cases often do not clearly indicate whether they are recent or long-standing infections. We collected the history of HIV antibody testing, sexual behavior and initial CD4 + T cell (CD4) count of newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS to determine the time and location of HIV infections. Of the included 612 cases, 17.3% were classified as recent HIV infection. Recent HIV infections were higher in cases aged < 30 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.267, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.856-9.813) and 30-49 (AOR = 2.847, 95%CI 1.356-5.977) vs. ≥50, and the transmission mode was men who have sex with men (MSM) (AOR = 4.130, 95%CI 1.815-9.399) was higher than heterosexual contact. Of the 582 cases, 80.8% were classified as local HIV infection (An infection occurred in the two survey districts). Local HIV infections were higher in cases being single and divorced/widowed (AOR = 2.511, 95% CI 1.271-4.962) vs. being married, residing in the survey districts ≥ 5 years (AOR = 168.962, 95%CI 64.942-439.593) vs. < 1 year, transmission mode was MSM (AOR = 8.669, 95%CI 2.668-28.163) vs. heterosexual contact, and acquired infections through spouses or steady partners (AOR = 11.493, 95%CI 3.236-40.819) vs. commercial partners. Both recent and local HIV infections were higher in cases whose transmission mode was MSM, we recommended using internet platforms and MSM dating apps for HIV education and intervention, promoting internet intervention tools to raise awareness about HIV and facilitate early detection.

Exploring menopausal symptoms, attitudes, and behaviors among menopausal women in China: an online research perspective.

The number of perimenopausal women in China is rising, but the population's concept of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is still relatively outdated. In this study, we used the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) theory and collected online questionnaires from 1,100 women aged 40 to 60 years nationwide to find out their menopausal symptom profiles; to learn about their perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors toward menopause and MHT; to explore the factors influencing the acceptance of hormone treatments; and to look for better ways to promote the dissemination of menopausal knowledge. The results revealed that among women aged 40 to 60 years, 82.36% experienced possible menopausal symptoms, with hot flushes/sweating, sleep disorders, mood disorders, and fatigue being the most prevalent; 55.90% reported moderate to severe symptoms, but only 46.99% of them sought healthcare services. Among those who sought medical care, 16.00% had their first visit to climacteric clinics/gynecological endocrinology, and 5.66% accepted MHT. Furthermore, 77.82% of participants never heard of MHT or were unaware of its existence. The healthcare-seeking behavior of menopausal women in response to symptoms and their willingness to accept MHT were found to be closely associated with their level of self-care. The prevalence of menopausal symptoms is higher in China than previous research findings, but due to a lack of relevant knowledge, the rate of seeking treatment from the appropriate medical department and accepting MHT is relatively low. Enhancing physicians' knowledge of the menopausal transition and using Internet tools might help improve Chinese women's knowledge of menopause and help them pass through this period smoothly.

Digital financial inclusion and household energy poverty: Evidence from China

This paper examines the impact of digital financial inclusion (DFI) on household energy poverty. We develop a simple theoretical model to explain the energy poverty alleviation effect of DFI. Using multidimensional household energy consumption survey data, we find that DFI reduces the incidence of household energy poverty by about 33.5 % and the intensity of energy poverty by 24.6 %, driven mainly by improvements in energy efficiency and an increase in household off-farm work, resulting in a stronger role in rural and low-income groups. However, the threshold model demonstrates that the Internet and digital tools are a prerequisite for this pro-poor energy effect to be realized. Notably, DFI, while exhibiting spatial spillover effects, exacerbate energy poverty in neighboring areas due to the siphoning effect.

Crossing Linguistic Bridges: Unravelling the Art of Persuasion Among Albanian Writers in Greek

Pragmalinguistic (PML) failure complicates intercultural communication in both productive and receptive modes. This paper attempts to unravel the persuasive strategies used by Albanians writing in Greek and further record the overall suitability score they received when assessed by Greek teachers (n=176). A protocol sample of extracted persuasive strategies was created to be used for further investigation, with respect to their suitability. The evaluation body provided their scores systematically through a purposefully constructed internet evaluation tool, which recorded their responses in a scale format. All strategies used scored below the middle of the evaluation scale and were thus considered unsuitable to be included in a letter of this type. Direct pathos statements were found particularly unfit to be employed in this context, while logos received the highest votes. Significant correlations were found in the voting tactic of the judges, which suggests a personality question in the judgments, while younger judges seemed to be more rigid in their evaluations. On the other hand, inconsistencies were detected between a) the evaluation of ethos and pathos persuasive arguments by these Greek judges and b) the employment of the exact same strategies by Greeks writing in English, outlined in an earlier study. The judges’ level of education and their teaching experience did not correlate statistically with the judgment scores they provided.
