Deformation Characteristics of Soft Marine Soil Tested under Cyclic Loading with Low Frequency by Yu Lu, Wenbin Fu, Danxuan Xue

“…The undisturbed specimens displayed lower deformations and pore pressures than the reconstructed specimens, whereas the differences are not significant when the confining stress is much higher than the structural yield stress. Furthermore, an empirical model for predicting the evolution of pore pressure is proposed and then validated against the experimental data in both this work and the literature.…”

Sustainable development of a region based on the assessment of anthropogenic load (through the example of the ecosystems of the Kizilyurt district and the city of Kizilyurt) by L. Sh. Akhmedova, Z. I. Soltanmuradova, G. I. Idziev, R. T. Radzhabova

“…A principal trend of the modern world is a requirement for sustainable development, which involves taking into account not only socio-economic but also environmental factors, one of which is the anthropogenic load on the ecosystem.Since the anthropogenic load varies across a region in the entire range of values from 0 to 100 %, a strategy for its eco-development should be based on estimates of consumption potentials in distributed parameters so that the total load does not exceed the capacity of the entire territory analysed.All the significance indicators used in the study in various combinations are included as elements of the structural and functional model. The simulation and balance model "Region" constructed as a result of the calculations establishes a direct relationship "impact – response" in ecosystems, which is achieved by indexing the anthropogenic load relative to the capacity of the environment.The results of the calculations obtained of the anthropogenic load can form the basis for solving a number of related challenges. …”

The effects of distributed leadership on teaching innovation in Shanghai, China: the mediating roles of teacher autonomy, teacher collaboration, and teacher self-efficacy by Jing Gong

“…However, few studies have investigated whether and how the implementation of DL in the centralized and bureaucratic management models used in China can foster TI among teachers.MethodsTo address this gap, this study examines 3,976 teachers working at the lower secondary level in Shanghai, China, on the basis of data obtained from the 2018 Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) dataset; in this context, a structural equation model (SEM) is used to compare a parallel mediation model constructed by reference to self-determination theory (SDT) with a chain mediation model constructed through the integration of SDT with conservation of resources theory (COR).ResultsThe results of this research reveal the superiority of the chain mediation model, according to which two independent mediation paths pertaining to teacher collaboration (TC) and teacher self- efficacy (TSE), as well as the two chain mediation paths of TC → TSE and teacher autonomy (TA) → TSE, are significant with respect to the relationship between DL and TI.DiscussionTheoretically, this study clarifies the mechanism underlying the influence of DL on TI in collectivist cultures; practically, it provides a reference for management practice for lower secondary school teachers with respect to TI.…”
