Background: China is currently at a turning point as its total population has started to decline, and therefore faces issues related to caring for an ageing population, which will require an increase in Total Health Expenditure (THE). Therefore, the ability to forecast China's future THE is essential.
Methods: We developed two THE System Dynamics (SD) models using Stella Architect 3.

Control charts are commonly used for process monitoring under the assumption that the variable of interest follows a normal distribution. However, this assumption is frequently violated in real-world applications. In this study, we develop an adaptive control chart based on the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic to monitor irregular variations in the mean of the Truncated Transmuted Burr-II (TTB-II) distribution, employing Hastings approximation for normalization.

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is an aggressive cancer characterized by a high risk of relapse post-surgery. Current follow-up methods (serum carcinoembryonic antigen detection and PET-CT) lack sensitivity and reliability, necessitating a novel approach. Analyzing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blood plasma emerges as a promising avenue.

The propagation of public opinion in multilingual environments presents unique challenges due to the diversity of languages, cultures, and values. This study develops an SEIR-based model tailored for multilingual contexts, incorporating mechanisms such as social enhancement, forgetting, and cross-transmission. The model's purpose is to improve transparency, inclusivity, and effectiveness in public opinion management, particularly in diverse linguistic settings.

In the realm of petroleum extraction, well productivity declines as reservoirs deplete, eventually reaching a point where continued extraction becomes economically unfeasible. To counteract this, artificial lift techniques are employed, with gas injection being a prevalent method. Ideally, unrestricted gas injection could maximize oil output.
