Intergenerational Learning: A New Approach to Overcoming Participation Barriers in Education Among Older Adults: Based on the Perspective of “the Elderly and the Young”

Based on an analysis of 734 samples from Hangzhou, it is found that older adults face numerous barriers to participation in education, including institutional barriers, situational barriers, intention barriers, and information barriers. The intergenerational gap in grandparent-grandchild caregiving is a significant factor affecting participation in education. As a new perspective for older adult education, intergenerational learning can break the traditional thinking of intergenerational caregiving, promote innovation in older adult education, explore new elderly care models, and achieve collaborative learning, mutual benefit, and lifelong learning. This paper explores the design concepts and practical models of intergenerational learning and, based on the perspective of “the Elderly and the Young”, actively addresses participation barriers in fields, such as concept reshaping, mechanism integration, resource provision, and institutional support. This is done to provide a reference for the construction and development of intergenerational learning models in China and respond to the new demands of active aging in the new era

The Further Explanation of Quantum Entanglement

Albert Einstein discovered that, two  particles originated from the same source, when thestate of one changes, that ofthe other will change at the same time, no matter how far they are apart from each other. This phenomenon violates the special theory of relativity that was originated by himself. Later on he extended special relativity to general relativity, hoping to solve this problem, but with little success. In this paper, we are trying to elaborate more about our space central view of the phenomenon, wethen relate it tomore broad understanding of social and culture stories such as crimerate cycle, meditation power, super nature spiritual stories from ancient tombs around the world. We name it Super Natural Relativity

A Feasible Methodological Framework for Uncertainty Analysis and Diagnosis of Atmospheric Chemical Transport Models

The current state of quantifying uncertainty in chemical transport models (CTM) is often limited and insufficient due to numerous uncertainty sources and inefficient or inaccurate uncertainty propagation methods. In this study, we proposed a feasible methodological framework for CTM uncertainty analysis, featuring sensitivity analysis to filter for important model inputs and a new reduced-form model (RFM) that couples the high-order decoupled direct method (HDDM) and the stochastic response surface model (SRSM) to boost uncertainty propagation. Compared with the SRSM, the new RFM approach is 64% more computationally efficient while maintaining high accuracy. The framework was applied to PM2.5 simulations in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region and found five precursor emissions, two pollutants in lateral boundary conditions (LBCs), and three meteorological inputs out of 203 model inputs to be important model inputs based on sensitivity analysis. Among these selected inputs, primary PM2.5 emissions, PM2.5 concentrations of LBCs, and wind speed were identified as key uncertainty sources, which collectively contributed 81.4% to the total uncertainty in PM2.5 simulations. Also, when evaluated against observations, we found that there were systematic underestimates in PM2.5 simulations, which can be attributed to the two-product method that describes the formation of secondary organic aerosol

Molecular and morphological evidence for the identity of two nominal species of Astegopteryx (Hemiptera, Aphididae, Hormaphidinae)

The morphology of many insect species is usually influenced by environmental factors and therefore high phenotypic variation exists even within a species. This causes difficulty and uncertainty in species taxonomy, which can be remedied by using molecular data and integrative taxonomy. Astegopteryx bambusae and A. bambucifoliae are currently regarded as two closely related aphid species with similar bamboo hosts and overlapping distributions in the oriental region. However, in practice it is hard to distinguish between them. By incorporating molecular data from four mitochondrial and nuclear genes as well as morphological information from an extensive collection of live specimens, the present study indicates that A. bambucifoliae is a junior synonym of A. bambusae. The data also indicate that large-scale geographic patterns of population differentiation may exist within this species

Vehicle emission and atmospheric pollution in China: problems, progress, and prospects

China has been the largest vehicle market in the world since 2009. The stalemate between the rapid development of the vehicle industry and delayed vehicle emission control has become increasingly prominent. Vehicle emission has become a significant source of air pollution in China’s cities. Understanding the current barriers in the vehicle industry is necessary for the development of effective and sustainable measures and policy to manage vehicle-induced air pollution. This review provides insight into the circumstances and causes of vehicle-induced air pollution and outlines recent progress in policy-makers’ long-term strategies and regulations. The development of an integrated mechanism of social participation, technical revolution, and regulatory innovation in vehicles, fuel, and roads is suggested to break the stalemate between air pollution and the automobile boom in China; the implications of this review extend to other countries facing the similar atmospheric pollution problems
