Artificial intelligence has become a key area of today's international competition. Analysis of the development trend of artificial intelligence and the strategies of major powers is crucial to winning this competition. This paper refers to (GCN) and Laplace's (LBP) feature equation in ChatGPT. Firstly, an image processing method based on LBP is proposed. GCN analyzes the temporal and spatial correlation of character attributes in the time domain. This method can capture both short-term and long-term temporal and situational correlations simultaneously, effectively improving the extraction of temporal and situational correlations. Then, text analysis determines the implementation intentions, measures and prospects of the EU's "human-centered" artificial intelligence competition strategy. It also evaluates its strategic effects from the relevant reactions of its main competitor, the United States, and infers the weaknesses and risks existing in the strategy.

Inclusive education in the aftermath of the pandemic: Lessons from mainstream and special teachers who ‘escaped the room’

This paper reports on a study that sought to explore mainstream and special teachers’ inclusive practices during the Covid-19 pandemic and discusses issues that are relevant in the post-Covid-19 period. The study is contextualized with European and international studies and reports on teachers’ role in the inclusion of children with disabilities before and during the pandemic. The sample of the study comprised of 17 mainstream and special teachers based in public schools in the Republic of Cyprus. They were purposively selected due to their commitment to provide quality education. Following a thematic analysis of teachers’ interviews, some of the themes were mapped with Florian and Black-Hawkins’ Framework for Participation which was used as a tool to conceptualize how teachers promoted participation through ensuring access, collaboration and inclusive pedagogy in distance education. The discussion links the findings with key values of inclusive education, such as interdependence and belongingness and resistance of ableist policies. It is concluded that teachers’ inclusive responses during the pandemic may inform professionals who are committed to inclusive education to bring about change in competitive and individualistic education systems across Europe.

Not an ‘ordinary Under-Secretary’ for India: the unconventional political career of Lord Lothian

ABSTRACT Lord Lothian (Philip Kerr) (1882–1940) had a close association with India for almost thirty years. He played a crucial role in the development of the early policy of The Round Table towards the subcontinent. He was a short-lived junior minister in charge of Indian affairs during a critical phase of the late colonial constitutional reforms. After his resignation he maintained an active relationship with India and an influential presence. During all of this time he consistently advocated the encouragement of a competitive party political system which he saw as the best guarantee of the growth of democracy on the subcontinent.

On classification of a 4D competitive LV system

This paper classifies the global dynamics of a 4D competitive Lotka-Volterra system (1.3) with two positive parameters k 1 , k 2 k_1,\ k_2 via carrying simplex. It is proved that the interior of the carrying simplex is filled with periodic orbits except equilibria and each interior trajectory is persistent and tends to either a periodic orbit or an equilibrium if k 1 / k 2 = 2 k_1/k_2=2 . Otherwise, the system admits two 2D carrying simplices Δ i \Delta _i on x 1 = i x_1=i for i = 0 , 1 i=0,\ 1 , which are filled with periodic orbits surrounding an equilibrium. All interior orbits go in the long run to Δ 1 \Delta _1 if k 1 / k 2 > 2 k_1/k_2>2 . If 0 > k 1 / k 2 > 2 0>k_1/k_2>2 , then the system admits a bistable structure: Δ 0 \Delta _0 and the equilibrium R 1 ( 1 + k 2 / k 1 , 0 , 0 , 0 ) R_1(1+k_2/k_1,\ 0,\ 0,\ 0) are locally asymptotically stable, the attracting set of Δ 1 \Delta _1 separates the attracting basins of Δ 0 \Delta _0 and R 1 R_1 .

The Complexities in the R&D Competition Model with Spillover Effects in the Supply Chain

This study aims to investigate the research and development (R&D) competition within the supply chain, focusing on two aspects: R&D competition at the manufacturing level and competition in pricing strategies. This paper establishes a dynamic game model of R&D competition, comprising two manufacturers and two retailers, with both manufacturers exhibiting bounded rationality. The key findings are as follows: (1) an increase in the adjustment speed positively affects the chaotic nature of the R&D competition system, leading to a state of disorder. This chaotic state has adverse implications for manufacturing profitability. (2) The spillover effect exhibits a positive relationship with the level of chaos in the R&D competition system. A greater spillover effect contributes to a more turbulent environment, which subsequently impacts the profitability of manufacturers. (3) R&D cost parameters exert a positive influence on the stability of the R&D competition system. When the system reaches a state of equilibrium, an escalation in the R&D cost parameters poses a threat to manufacturer profitability. (4) Retailer costs play a detrimental role in the stability of the R&D competition system. As retailer costs increase, there is a decline in R&D levels, thereby diminishing manufacturer profitability. (5) To mitigate the chaotic state, we propose the implementation of the time-delayed feedback control (TDFC) method, which reflects a more stable state in the R&D competition system.

The Contemporary Issues in Chinese Education

Over the past few decades, the Chinese education system has undergone significant changes, influenced by a number of social, economic, and political factors. This paper provides an analysis of contemporary issues in Chinese education, highlighting key challenges and proposing solutions. A major concern is the intense pressure placed on students to excel academically, which results in high levels of stress and mental health problems. A competitive examination system and societal expectations of success are responsible for this pressure. Additionally, the rigid curriculum and emphasis on ranking have been criticized as stifling the development of cooperative and creative skills. It is underway to reform the curriculum and teaching methods, but progress in reducing academic pressure and promoting innovation in education is inconclusive. While Chinese education faces a number of contemporary challenges, efforts are being made to address these challenges and improve its overall quality and equity. It will be necessary to maintain a sustained commitment and implement innovative strategies to achieve meaningful progress over the next few years.

Efficient sorption of As(III) from water by magnetite decorated porous carbon extracted from a biowaste material.

Arsenic is a highly toxic metal that causes cancer even at a low concentration and its removal from water resources is challenging. Herein, carbon extracted from waste onion bulbs is activated to cater for porosity and functionalized with magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (named MCK6) to address the challenge of As(III) removal. Synthesized MCK6 was highly mesoporous having a surface area of 208 m2/g, where magnetite nanoparticles (≤ 10nm) are homogeneously distributed within a porous network. The developed adsorbent inherited functional groups from the biosource and magnetic property from magnetite making it ideal for removal of As(III). Further, MCK6 showed a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity (qm) of 10.2mg/g at 298K and pH 7. The adsorption thermodynamics delineates a non-spontaneous and endothermic reaction, where the kinetics followed pseudo 2nd order (R2 value of 0.977), while monolayer formation is explained by the Langmuir model. Moreover, MCK6 efficiently works to remove As(III) in a competitive metal ions system including Pb+2, Cd+2, and Ca+2, making it a suitable adsorbent to tackle contaminated water.

Invasion traveling waves of a three species Lotka–Volterra competitive system with nonlocal dispersal

In this paper, we study the invading dynamics of a three species Lotka–Volterra competitive system with nonlocal dispersal. We mainly focus on two situations: (i) two alien species invade one weak native species; (ii) one alien species invades two weak native species. This invasion process can be characterized by the traveling waves connecting two different constant states. By applying Schauder’s fixed point theorem with the help of suitable upper–lower solutions, we prove the existence of two types of traveling waves: one is the traveling wave connecting (0,0,1) at positive infinity, and the other is the traveling wave connecting (0,vc,wc) at positive infinity, where (0,0,1) and (0,vc,wc) are two boundary equilibria of the system. Furthermore, by employing the method of the contracting rectangles, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of two types of traveling waves at negative infinity. Finally, we establish the nonexistence of traveling waves. Our results show that either a strong alien competing species can wipe out the other two species or three weak competing species can coexist.

Adsorption Kinetics and Mechanism of Pb(II) and Cd(II) Adsorption in Water through Oxidized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Toxic heavy metals are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and show a significant danger to human health. Carbon nanotubes have been extensively used in treating the contamination of groundwater due to their porous multi-layer nature. Batch tests revealed that oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTS) offer better removal of Pb(II). The removal rate of Pb(II) was 90.15% at pH 6 within 24 h, which was ~58% more than that of Cd(II). The removal rate decreased to 55.59% for Pb(II) and to 16.68% for Cd(II) when the initial concentration of Pb(II)/Cd(II) ranged from 5 to 15 mg·g−1. The removal rate in the competitive tests was about 60.46% for Pb(II) and 9.70% for Cd(II). The Langmuir model offered better description of the adsorptive data for both ions. And the Qm of Pb(II) was 5.73 mg·g−1, which was 2.39 mg·g−1 more than that of Cd(II) in a single-icon system, while Qm was 7.11 mg·g−1 with Pb(II) and 0.78 mg·g−1 with Cd(II) in competitive water. And thermodynamic tests further indicated that the activating energy of Pb(II) and Cd(II) was 83.68 and 172.88 kJ·mol−1, respectively. Lead and cadmium adsorbed on the surface of O-MWCNTS are antagonistic in the competitive system. Based on XPS analyses, it was concluded that the absorbed lead/cadmium species on O-MWCNTS were (-COO)2Pb, (-COO)Pb(-O)/(-COO)2Cd, and (-COO)Cd(-O). Additionally, they offered theoretical evidence supporting the practicality of using nanocomposite membranes as a means to remove cadmium and lead.

Effects of a mobile health intervention on health-related outcomes in Japanese office workers: a pilot study.

The purpose of the current study was to explore the effects of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention based on the Persuasive System Design (PSD) model on health-related outcomes among office workers. The authors conducted a trial that consisted of a 4-week baseline and an 8-week intervention period by reference to 23 office workers in a private research company. The mHealth application was developed to improve these workers' daily step count, decrease their sedentary time, and increase their sleep duration in accordance with the PSD model. The app features included at least 1 principal factor from each of the 4 main categories of the PSD model (primary task support, dialogue support, system credibility support, and social support). The objective health-related variables were measured using a smartwatch (Fitbit Luxe) that was synchronized with the application using the Fitbit Web Application Programming Interface. Subjects used the app, which included self-monitoring, personalized messages, education, and a competition system for users, during the intervention period. Sedentary time exhibited a significant decrease (a median reduction of 14 min/day, p < 0.05) during the intervention period. No significant differences in daily step count and sleep duration were observed between the baseline and intervention periods. This study suggests that the mHealth intervention based on the PSD model was useful for reducing sedentary time among office workers. Given that many previous studies on this topic have not been based on any theories, future studies should investigate the impact of structured selection behavior change theories on health-related outcomes among office workers.

Problems of forming competitive regional innovation systems

The creation of conditions for the development ofintegrated research, education and business complexeswill be possible through the interaction of political,regulatory, economic, social and cultural factors.Political conditions are determined at the state level. Atthe same time, the integration of education, science andinnovative business has faced some problems, inparticular, related to governance. Therefore, the maintask at present is to ensure real integration in thesesectors in order to ensure innovative transformations notonly in the economy but also in society as a whole, andthe ministry should restructure the management of theseareas to adequately meet this task. For example, theproject to modernize universities envisages that theyshould become a place where people are trained toperceive innovative ideas, to be formed into specialists ina new way, and to be the driving force behind innovativedevelopment. It has also become clear that it is necessaryto move from training specialists in mass professions totraining specialists capable of ensuring the operation ofmodernized enterprises and enterprises that useinnovative technologies aimed at producing innovativeproducts. The vocational education system has alreadybegun to restructure in this direction, with resourcecenters emerging that bring together primary, secondary,and higher vocational education institutions to build achain of training for all levels of personnel focused onadvanced manufacturing. At the present stage, theproblems of integrated formation and development ofscience and education are being solved, but themechanism of systemic influence through the creation ofintegrated regional research and education complexes -research (leading) universities of a new type - is not used.The experience of implementing integration processes ofacademic and university science and production showsthat the development of a specific model and itsorganizational and legal formalization require resolvingthe issues of identifying the lead organization and coexecutors,which will determine the type of integrationmodel, scientific, educational, social, environmental andother problems to be solved. In this case, it is importantto choose the organizational and legal form ofinteraction between the structures formed as part of thenew entity, the distribution of responsibilities of allparticipants in addressing issues of staffing, inventoryand equipment, financing for each participant through aninterconnected system of legal documents andregulations, reporting, etc.

Sulfur Signature of a Mediterranean Wetland: The Case of Soils of the Inundated Floodplain Area at the Tablas de Daimiel National Park

In the Mediterranean region, numerous wetlands co-exist with competitive agricultural systems. Although wetlands’ hydrology (in water volume, source, and residence time terms) plays a major factor in their ecosystem structure, many of these wetlands have been subjected to different degradation processes. One such case is the Tablas de Daimiel National Park (TDNP), which witnesses one of its most environmentally sensitive times. In this context, scarce information is available on the sulfur (S) contents in this wetland. To diagnose this wetland’s degradation status, 43 soil samples were selected and analyzed to investigate S contents in the surface soils (0 to 30 cm) of the inundated floodplain area of the TDNP. They represent different degrees of exposure to pollutants and exposure to flooding. Sulfur determination was carried out by X-ray fluorescence. The S contents in the area range between 1.85 and 37.15 g kg−1, with a mean value of 13.71 g kg−1, which implies marked variability throughout this wetland. The highest values were observed near the wetland entrance via the Gigüela River, while the lowest ones appeared at its exit, with a relatively uniform gradient from the entrance to the exit. The relatively high S concentrations observed at sites other than the wetland entrance can be probably related to the continuous non-point source contamination with P, N, and S fertilizer applications, via runoff agricultural production systems. The results of this study are essential for understanding and predicting total S variability within the TDNP (Spain), which can interfere with soil management practices.

Financing COVID-19-related health care costs in the Dutch competitive health system during 2020 and 2021: Overall experiences and policy recommendations for improving health system resilience

The Dutch health system is based on the principles of managed (or regulated) competition, meaning that competing risk bearing insurers and providers negotiate contracts on the price, quantity and quality of care. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a huge external shock to the health system which potentially distorted the conditions required for fair competition. Therefore, an important question is to what extent was the competitive Dutch health system resilient to the financial shock caused by the pandemic? Overall, the Dutch competitive health system proved to be sufficiently flexible and resilient at absorbing the financial shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 due to an effective combination of regulatory and self-regulatory measures. However, based on the overall experiences in the Netherlands, from the health policy perspective improvements are needed aimed at (i) refining the catastrophic costs clause included in the Health Insurance Act, (ii) reducing the vulnerability of the Dutch risk equalisation system to distortions due to unforeseen catastrophic health care costs, and (iii) establishing more equal financial risk sharing between health insurers and health care providers. These improvements are also relevant for other countries with a health system based on the principles of managed (or regulated) competition.

Impact of Consumer Data Value on Pricing of Platform Enterprise

Based on the background of digital economy, this paper mainly discusses the value of consumer data and the promotion effect of digital finance on enterprise entre-preneurship, and analyzes the differentiated choice of pricing strategy for platform enterprises under the situation that consumer data is known and unknown. Based on the linear city model, circular city model and vertical differentiation model, this paper constructs the competition system of platform enterprises in two situations: consumer data is known and consumer data is unknown, and reveals the influence of consumer data on the pricing strategy of platform enterprises. The research shows that consumer data can influence the pricing strategy of platform enterpris-es, and when consumer data is unknown to platform enterprises, they tend to choose unified pricing. At this time, consumers choose service types based on their preferences. If consumer data is known to platform enterprises, platform enter-prises will choose personalized pricing in order to compete with consumers in the market, but the price will be low, which will increase consumer welfare at the mi-cro level. Moreover, the development of digital finance based on the background of digital economy has a positive role in promoting new enterprises and affecting consumer welfare at the macro level, it has practical significance and profound re-search significance for the study of social welfare changes.
