In this research letter, we examine the impact of municipal budget policy on the percentage of votes for the incumbent majority parties in subsequent elections. We contribute to the academic literature by examining the combined influence of taxes, expenditures and debt. Based on data for Flanders (Belgium) between 1994 and 2012, we find no significant association between these budget variables and the actual election results.

As a vital precursor of hydroxyl radicals (OH), atmospheric nitrous acid (HONO) plays a significant role in tropospheric chemistry and the production of secondary pollutants. However, knowledge of its sources remains insufficient. To comprehensively investigate the HONO chemistry in polluted cities and alleviate O pollution, based on a comprehensive HONO-related field campaign in Zibo City, on the North China Plain, the parameterized formulas of additional HONO sources were validated in a box model (based on the default MCMv3.

Health Development Research Department, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing, 100020, People's Republic of China.
Background: Quantitative methods for estimating the workload of primary healthcare (PHC) workers are essential for improving the performance of PHC institutions. However, measuring the workload of PHC workers is challenging due to the diverse and complex range of services covered by PHC. This study aims to use an equivalent value (EV)-based approach to assess the workload of PHC workers and inform policymakers about the current workload burden in Beijing, China.

Regular physical activity is essential for the healthy development of children, and sports clubs are one of the main drivers of regular exercise. Previous studies have demonstrated that public subsidies can increase participation rates in sports clubs. The effectiveness of funding in increasing participation rates depends on multiple factors, such as geographic location, the size of the sports club, and the socio-economic conditions of the population.

Purpose: Little is known about the effects of ambient atmospheric pressure (AP) on intraocular pressure (IOP) under ordinary conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of AP on Goldmann applanation tonometer-measured IOP (GAT-IOP) in normal eyes under everyday atmospheric conditions adjusting for effects of possible confounding factors including other climatic factors.
Methods: Data obtained from 2,431 normal healthy eyes of 2,431 subjects (mean age: 56.
Two isoniazid-based chemosensors for the detection of cyanide ions in solution: an experimental and computational study.

Colorimetric chemosensors L and L, based on isoniazid hydrazones, have been designed for the highly sensitive and selective recognition of CN ion. Competing experiments were conducted with various other anions such as F, Cl, Br, I, SCN, ClO, ClO, NO, HPO, SO, and HSO in an acetonitrile solution. In the UV-Vis spectra, a bathochromic shift in the absorption bands of both hydrazones was observed following the addition of cyanide.
