Uneven primary healthcare supply of rural doctors and medical equipment in remote China: community impact and the moderating effect of policy intervention

Background: Unequal access to primary healthcare (PHC) has become a critical issue in global health inequalities, requiring governments to implement policies tailored to communities’ needs and abilities. However, the place-based facility dimension of PHCs is oversimplified in current healthcare literature, and formulating the equity-oriented...

基于地理分级标准的偏远地区卫生人力资源优化：澳大利亚改良版蒙纳士模型及其对我国的启示

In Australia，28% of the population live in remote and rural areas，where they face many health service utilization challenges due to geographical conditions，and generally have lower health status than those living in coastal metropolitan areas. To address the challenges of accessing health services in remote and rural areas，the Australian...

Enhancing extraction of alginate like extracellular polymers (ALE) from flocculent sludge by surfactants

Alginate like extracellular polymers (ALE) recovered from flocculent sludge has been identified as a kind of highly valuable biomaterials. However, the extraction protocols limit the production of biopolymers as ALE extracted from flocculent sludge is at a lower level, around 90–190 mg/g VSS. Under this circumstance, the eco-friendly and...

Controlling factors and involved mechanisms on forming alginate like extracellular polymers in flocculent sludge

Alginate like extracellular polymers (ALE) recovered from excess sludge have been evaluated as an eco-friendly, cost effective and sustainable alternative to highly valued materials. However, the ALE extraction from flocculent sludge ranges normally from 90 to 190 mg/g VSS, which is only equivalent to the lowest edge of the ALE production...
