Forecast and Simulation of the Public Opinion on the Public Policy Based on the Markov Model by Zi Li

“…Public policy and public opinion directly affect the image of the government, but due to the lack of appropriate monitoring and early warning tools, the government’s handling of credit changes is seriously lagging behind. In response to this problem, this paper integrates the internet, public information, market credit information, and other data, uses hidden Markov models and natural language processing technology, and establishes a modern government public policy and public opinion monitoring and early warning model to evaluate government credit in real time; the government can formulate relevant policies based on the evaluation results to improve the government’s governance capabilities. …”

Analysis of Deformation and Stress Characteristics of Anchored-Frame Structures for Slope Stabilization by Wei-na Ye, Yong Zhou, Shuai-hua Ye

“…The technology of frame structure with anchors is becoming more and more mature, but the pertinent theory lags behind the application. While more attention is being paid to the control of deformation, there is still no uniform solution to the calculation of deformation in the anchored-frame structures. …”

Information campaigns and local authorities by Mariekie Burger

“…As the failures of the authoritarian top-down development approach became evident, it is not '8 solution to remove the electricity cables of non-payers, neither is it a solution to modify behaviour only. The motivation behind a campaign aiming at correcting the situation should focus on the capacity building in the community, which is in line with participatory development and DSC thinking. …”

Revisión y reivindicación de las poesías de José Iglesias de la Casa publicadas en la prensa: el caso del Diario de las musas by Noelia López-Souto

“…Finally, the value of studying these poetic corpora in the press, specifically in the case of Iglesias, is considered because in authors from the 18th and 19th centuries, it often reveals unpublished or textual variants that allow us to delve deeper into the creative process behind those poems and their various testimonies.…”

Voyages en Shangrila : le marché « in situ » des objets d’art primitif d’Himalaya by Gisèle Krauskopff

“…The article examines the conditions underlying the production of the narratives that transformed these artefacts into “art objects” and stripped them of the market conditions behind their discovery. It studies the mediums of these narratives, exhibitions, sales catalogues and collector catalogues that developed these objects’ narratives of origins, as well as the “aura” that helps them gain recognition on the primitive art market. …”

Conformally Flat Pseudoprojective Symmetric Spacetimes in fR,G Gravity by Uday Chand De, Sameh Shenawy, Abdallah Abdelhameed Syied, Nasser Bin Turki

“…Finally, we investigate conformally flat  PPS4 spacetimes and conformally flat  PPS4 perfect fluids in fR,G theory of gravity, and amongst many results, it is proved that the isotropic pressure and the energy density of conformally flat perfect fluid  PPS4 spacetimes are constants and such perfect fluid behaves like a cosmological constant. Further, in this setting, we consider some energy conditions.…”
