Integrated wheat-maize straw and tillage management strategies influence economic profit and carbon footprint in the Guanzhong Plain of China

According to the input-output theory, the paper quantitatively analyzes the tourism ecoefficiency of Yangshuo in 2017 by building a tourism eco-efficiency model based on carbon footprint. The research shows that: Firstly, the total carbon footprint of tourism traffic in 2017 is 791.22×106 kg; the total carbon footprint of tourism accommodation is 353.60×106 kg; the total carbon footprint of tourism activities is 123.29×106 kg. Secondly, the 2017 tourism eco-efficiency of the Yangshuo County is 8.05 RMB per kilogram. It refers to the economic profit is 8.05 RMB when 1 kilogram of carbon dioxide is produced, which is relatively efficient compared with other regions. Lastly, the paper makes suggestions with regarding to the optimization of the tourism eco-efficiency.

In Infants And Children

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
