Occupational therapy’s oversight: How science veiled our humanity by Heleen Reid, Clare Hocking, Elizabeth Smythe

“…While these sources of objective knowledge provide a rational, defendable position for practice, they can only explain a portion of what it means to exist as an occupational being.Aims/Objectives This article aims to reveal some of the history of science within occupational therapy and reveal the subjective, ontological nature of doing everyday activities that the profession’s preoccupation with positivist science has obscured.Methods This research used a history of ideas methodology to uncover how occupational therapy perceived people and how practice was conceptualised and conducted between 1800 and 1980s, as depicted in writing of the time.Conclusion Analysis showed that, through history, people were increasingly categorised and delimited. …”

Analysis of Spatiotemporal Dynamic Characteristics on Potential Evapotranspiration and Water Budget in Hebei Province by ZHENG Defeng, ZHAN Shiyao, CAO Yongqiang

“…The spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of regional potential evapotranspiration can lay a theoretical foundation for regional rational crop planting and scientific agricultural irrigation.In the context of global warming and increasing evapotranspiration rates,the Penman-Monteith equation is used to calculate the potential evapotranspiration (ET₀) and water budget (K) of Hebei Province from1967 to 2019 according to the actual meteorological observation data of twelve weather stations in Hebei Province,and the characteristics of their spatiotemporal dynamic variations are analyzed.On this basis,the analysis method of the Morlet wavelet function is introduced for the cycle analysis of ET₀ and K in 53 years.The results show that ET₀ has obvious zonal characteristics,and it is generally on the rise while K is on the decline during this period.Moreover,the evapotranspiration variations vary with seasons:ET₀ shows an upward trend in spring,autumn,and winter but a downward trend in summer.The cycle of K has the most significant oscillation at 35 a,and the scope of the oscillation is prominent in summer and autumn.Therefore,obvious changes in seasonal characteristics of Hebei Province have a great impact on K.The results can provide a reliable theoretical basis for agricultural water-saving and planting structure adjustment in Hebei Province.…”

Evolutionary game model of information management mechanism for public opinion governance by Shuting LIU, Yinghua MA, Xiuzhen CHEN

“…Conflicting information in online social networks, often stemming from opposing views, can lead to rumors and the fragmentation of society.A reputation-based dynamic information management mechanism was proposed, adopting a dynamic reward and punishment strategy to decrease unnecessary information conflict so as to activate self-purification of network.By utilizing evolutionary game theory, a cumulative-prospect-based evolutionary game model of social network information conflict was constructed to validate the efficacy of the proposed mechanism.Numerical simulations were conducted to analyze the evolutionary trends of 18 different theoretical application scenarios under 9 constraints.The results demonstrate that, under constraint 5, both sides of the game tend to exhibit relatively rational behavior towards conflicts.Furthermore, dynamic evolution analysis and sensitivity analysis of the model parameters were performed while satisfying constraint 5, providing practical strategic suggestions for the dynamic information management mechanism.This model represents a novel attempt to capture the interaction of multiple factors, such as interest-driven behavior and conformity psychology, in the evolution of public opinion.Moreover, the model successfully simulates well-known patterns of rumor dissemination, confirming its validity.The proposed model offers valuable insights for the development and design of malicious information control systems in social networks and provides new ideas for the research and implementation of public opinion governance.…”
