Since the advent of COVID-19 pandemic, there have been changes in ways teaching and learning occur most classrooms, including English first additional language classrooms. Teachers spent less contact class time with their FAL learners to comply safety protocols, such as social distancing. More than ever, rural schools faced responsibility independently for extended periods. The focus this artic...

Immediately and accurately assessing the risk of coal spontaneous combustion taking targeted action are crucial steps in prevention control. A new model, AEM-AHP-LSTM, was proposed to solve weight calculation problem multiobjective evaluation process combustion. Firstly, key indicators were analyzed used as factors establish an system. Next, objective subjective weights calculated using AEM AHP...

Entrepreneurial action is embedded within a variety of complex social structures, not all of which can be as easily defined or measured as macro-institutional or micro-individual characteristics, but collectively hold rich insights into the actual causal mechanisms influencing action. To address this problem, we call upon researchers to broaden their levels of analysis and direct their focus to...

EMOTIONAL distress, especially anxiety, frustration, and depression, are common problems after stroke and other chronic, disabling illnesses. Estimates of the prevalence of clinically significant levels of depression after stroke range from 26 to 60%.'" Other common difficulties include overdependence on others, inflexible and rigid thinking, impatience, irritability, impulsivity, denial and la...

The increased cost of accessing energy and the effects on economic growth (GDP) across regions is one of grave concern [1]. The Cost implication of energy supply often shapes regional energy policies across the globe. This paper presents an empirical investigation into the relationship between energy generation and economic growth, while also investigating probable threats to sustainable energy...

A lack of diversity and durability of resistant soybean varieties complicates management of the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, exemplified by the current overdependence on the PI 88788 source of resistance. Of interest is the effect of adaptation of a SCN population to a source of resistance on its subsequent ability to develop on others. Female indices (FI) from virulence as...

Multiresolution analyses based on wavelets and support vector machine were combined to establish a wavelet transform-based support vector machine (WT-SVM) model for the prediction of residual settlement in an old goaf. The stochastic volatility of the residual settlement in an old goaf is considered, and the test data of 3 monitoring point in an old goaf in Yanzhou are used. The results are com...

We propose an evaluation methodology to analyze the safety level of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) as a human–machine systems in terms of comparing the increase in the safety level during normal system operation and the decrease in the safety level during a system malfunction. We propose a concept of combined error for the human– machine system and quantify this combined error by dri...

Studies on health promoting schools (HPS) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are scarce. To contribute to the development of HPS in these countries, we conducted formative research to understand the school environment in Lao PDR, Mongolia, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Forty-three teachers, 10 government workers and 5 parents participated in three one-on-one interviews and 14 natural group int...

In order to improve the high efficiency and security of supply chain information coordination under cloud computing environment, this paper proposes a supply chain information coordination mode based on cloud computing. This mode has two basic statuses which are online status and offline status. At the online status, cloud computing center is responsible for coordinating the whole supply chain ...
