Budget Allocation and Management of Hospitals in Qingdao: Basis for Strategic Plan

The level of hospital budget management in China is uneven, and there are many problems in the process of budget management, such as unscientific budget preparation, uncontrolled budget implementation, and no performance evaluation of budget completion. This study examined the current state of hospital budget management in China, which highlights significant challenges such as unscientific budget preparation, inadequate control during implementation, and the absence of performance evaluation. These issues are compounded by communication gaps between departments, unclear responsibilities, and overall inefficiency in information integration, resulting in suboptimal budget management outcomes across the board. To shed light on this situation, the researcher conducted a qualitative study focusing on five public hospitals in Qingdao province, China, using in-depth interviews with financial directors to gather data. The findings revealed a mixed landscape where hospitals were aware of budget allocation and management practices but faced common challenges. Consequently, the study proposes a strategic action plan aimed at improving budget allocation and management practices in these hospitals. This plan emphasizes the need for streamlined processes, improved communication and coordination, clearer responsibilities, enhanced information integration, and performance evaluation mechanisms to optimize budget management outcomes and ensure efficient resource allocation to meet hospitals' growth and development objectives.

Evaluation of the green economic value added index in the game of enterprise capital providers

This study explores the performance evaluation of steel enterprises, emphasizing the importance of green environmental performance. Based on the review of the current situation of green investment research, economic added value evaluation system, and game analysis of enterprise capital providers, this study discusses the comprehensive evaluation of games among enterprise capital providers from the perspective of green economic added value. It constructs a game model of capital providers from the perspective of green investment. This model is based on the probability of creditors making green bond investments and shareholders pledging equity, deriving game results, and using economic added value returns to measure enterprise performance. The main data in this study are from the CSMAR database, a corporate governance project, and the relevant environmental protection data from Nangang's annual report. The results show that the green economic added value return rate is higher than the traditional economic added value return rate, indicating that environmental investments do not reduce the operational performance of enterprises. The game of capital providers leans towards equity investment and does not enhance enterprise performance at the expense of the environment. The green economic added value index only reflects past operational performance, based on which enterprises can design reasonable performance evaluation mechanisms, encouraging capital providers to favor environmental investments. This study has important theoretical and practical significance, guiding enterprises' strategic choices during green transformation.

Novel rejuvenators for sustainable recycling of aged SBS modified bitumen: Performance evaluation and reactive mechanism analysis

The performance of aged styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen (SMB) is jointly dominated by the aging of bitumen and degradation of SBS crosslinking network structure. Despite some epoxy reactive rejuvenators which can re-crosslink SBS fragments are able to reconstruct the SBS cross-linking network compared with conventional rejuvenator, the performance of aged SMB regenerated by existing epoxy reactive reactants is unbalanced achieving good low temperature performance by sacrificing high temperature performance. In order to further improve the comprehensive road performance of regenerated SMB, a novel reactive rejuvenator was proposed and assessed in this study aiming at effectively improving the high temperature performance of regenerated SMB. The restoration effectiveness of the reactive rejuvenators was evaluated and compared by the physical properties, rheological properties and FTIR of rejuvenated SMB. The physical and rheological experimental results show that 2,2'-[1,3-phenylenebis (oxymethylene)] dioxirane (RDGE) and 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether (HDDGE) are beneficial to high and low temperature performance of regenerated SMB, respectively, and their composite action can complement each other. Compared with N, N-dimthylbenzylamine (BDMA), 3,6,9,12-tetraazatetradecane-1,14-diamine (PEHA) with crosslinking effect can excellently make up for the disadvantages of epoxy rejuvenator, which has better and balanced recovery effect in consideration of both low and high temperature properties of regenerated SMB. The reactive rejuvenator containing PEHA and RDGE can further alleviate high temperature performance loss of regenerated SMB by an appropriate mix ratio. The changes of chemical functional groups of FTIR and fluorescence microscope directly prove that a novel recovery reaction for degraded SBS network structure via the introduction of PEHA (a kind of polybasic primary amines) is conducive to balancing high and low temperature performance of regenerated SMB.

Performance evaluation of dance programmes subsidized by China national arts fund (2014– 2019)

ABSTRACT State funding in support of art development is a crucial area of research in arts management. After the 1980s, China began to reform its cultural system. Drawing on the historical experience of Western countries in subsidizing art, the Chinese government made constant adjustments to its system. In 2013, the China National Arts Fund (CNAF) was established, indicating the Chinese government’s efforts to enhance the modernization level of arts management and explore funding methods with Chinese characteristics. Based on quantitative data and case studies and through the analysis of the quantity, types, institutional ownership, and regional trends of dance programmes funded by CNAF (2014–2019), this paper concludes that the current funding trend is presented with three characteristics: differentiation classification, imbalance, localization of content and theme. The study found that CNAF is facing three challenges and dilemmas: (1) the effectiveness and diversity of its guiding function; (2) the level of its fine-grained and flat management; (3) the performance evaluation mechanism of funded programmes. Based on the findings and discussion of the research, this paper proposes policy suggestions and future research directions.

Thermally activated natural chalcopyrite for Fenton-like degradation of Rhodamine B: Catalyst characterization, performance evaluation, and catalytic mechanism

In this work, catalytic activity of natural chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) was improved by thermal activation. The modified chalcopyrite was used as efficient catalyst for degradation of organic dye Rhodamine B (RhB) through advanced oxidation process (AOP). Effects of catalyst dosage, H2O2 concentration, reaction temperature, solution pH, anions, and natural organic matter on the degradation efficiency of RhB were investigated. This study revealed that thermal activation at 300 °C changed the chemical valency of surface elements rather than transforming the major chemical phase of natural chalcopyrite. The Fenton-like degradation of RhB was significantly improved by thermally activated chalcopyrite. RhB degradation could be obtained under broad pH and showed high resistance to natural organic matter and anions. Under optimal conditions of H2O2 43.0 mM, catalyst 0.75 g/L, initial pH 5.1, and reaction temperature 25 °C, the degradation of RhB reached 96.7% at 50 min. Based on the rate constant of reaction kinetics, the activation energy for RhB degradation was calculated to be 9 kJ/mol. Radical scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique demonstrated that RhB degradation was dominated by the generated hydroxyl radicals in activated chalcopyrite/H2O2 system. The formation of surface sulfates resulted from thermal activation induced the dissolved copper or iron ions, and promoted H2O2 activation and facilitated RhB degradation by reactive hydroxyl radicals. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the mechanism behind thermal activation to enhance the activity of natural chalcopyrite, offering a theoretical basis for utilizing natural minerals for Fenton-like treatment of organic wastewater towards cleaner production.

Enhanced Pb(II) removal from wastewater by co-pyrolysis biochar derived from sewage sludge and calcium sulfate: Performance evaluation and quantitative mechanism analysis

Lead (Pb) is a toxic heavy metal posing potential harm to the environment and human health. In this study, Pb(II) adsorption performance of co-pyrolysis biochar derived from sewage sludge and gypsum (CaSO4) was first investigated. The anti-interference to environmental factors was investigated, with the underlying mechanisms being explored quantitatively. The maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of co-pyrolysis biochar (SSCB, 152.66 mg/g) was largely improved compared to single sewage sludge biochar (SSB, 29.95 mg/g) at a dosage of 1 g/L and initial pH of 6.0. Model analysis results indicated that monolayer sorption, chemisorption, intraparticle diffusion and endothermic processes were involved in the adsorption process. Among the tested co-existing ions, Fe2+ and NH4+ mostly disrupted the Pb(II) removal. Mineral precipitation (37.55%) and ion exchange (28.05%) were calculated as the major adsorption mechanisms (65.60%) for Pb(II) removal using co-pyrolysis biochar. SSCB showed better reusability for Pb(II) removal in 5 regeneration cycles. This work provides fundamental references for the utilization of solid wastes via co-pyrolysis to biochar for heavy metals removal towards sustainable development.
