The objective of this article is to apply an ecological indicator screening method, which is the Comprehensive Method for Water Ecological Index Screening (CMWEIS). CMWEIS is based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Delphi Method (DM, a kind of expert investigation method). Not only the objective factors but also the subjective factors are considered. Using CMWEIS, the ecological indicators were sorted in the range of Liao River basin. 25 ecological indexes, 2 years’ observed data of the main stream of Liao River were considered. Ten specialists were invited to answer the designed questionnaires. After 5 times of screening, the score of each ecological index was provided and 11 indexes were selected. CMWEIS considered both the objective characters of the indicators and the subjective adjustment of the specialists. So the indexes selected by WEIDSM could reflect the ecological status well and truly. The model was programmed and all the statistical calculations were done by the computer. It could be expected that WEIDSM could give the sequence of ecological indicators quickly, so as to make ecological monitoring or evaluating more effectively.

Purpose We conducted a systematic review of the literature regarding adult telepractice services (screening, assessment, and treatment) from approximately 2014 to 2019. Method Thirty-one relevant studies were identified from a literature search, assessed for quality, and reported. Results Included studies illustrated feasibility, efficacy, diagnostic accuracy, and noninferiority of various speech-language pathology services across adult populations, including chronic aphasia, Parkinson's disease, dysphagia, and primary progressive aphasia. Technical aspects of the equipment and software used to deliver services were discussed. Some general themes were noted as areas for future research. Conclusion Overall, results of the review continue to support the use of telepractice as an appropriate service delivery model in speech-language pathology for adults. Strong research designs, including experimental control, across multiple well-described settings are still needed to definitively determine effectiveness of telepractice services.
