At about 14:00 on August 11, a sudden heavy rain fell in the upper reaches of the East River in Dongkeng Village, Wanlongshan Township, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province, causing a sudden increase in water volume in the downstream reaches. A person fell into the water while rafting in Wanlong Gorge, resulting in one death and one minor. hurt. Many interviewees mentioned that heavy rain began in Wugong Mountain around 12 noon. If the scenic spot could stop rafting earlier, the accident might not have happened.

At about 1:40 pm that day, Wu Junjun, her sister and a group of six people boarded the boat wearing life jackets and helmets. This is not the first time she and her family have visited Wugong Mountain. Because they don’t want to climb the mountain, the family chose rafting. Wu Junjun is not worried about the rain. A group of them were playing at the Wugong Mountain grass skating field in the morning, and encountered a heavy rain at almost 12 o'clock. Wu Junjun called the ticket office to ask if floating was suspended, and received a negative answer. On the way to the scenic spot, there were still showers from time to time. Wu Junjun asked the ticket office again, and the answer was that it was still OK.

More than 10 minutes after the rafting started, Wu Junjun saw the rafters on the shore shouting with a loudspeaker. However, due to the loud sound of the water flowing nearby, Wu Junjun could hardly hear clearly in the river, and could only see the mouth of the float guard moving. Wu Junjun could feel that the people on the shore seemed anxious, so she and her sister paddled to the shore. After getting a little closer, Wu Junjun found that he could not understand the dialect spoken through the loudspeaker. But they understood when other tourists shouted to her, "Hurry up and get ashore, the water is going to rise." When they reached the shore, it was thanks to a man who helped them stabilize their kayak and pulled them ashore.

About 10 minutes after landing, Wu Junjun saw: the flood was pouring down. "It can be described with the word "thousands of horses galloping". It is not like the process of rising water in the river. It is really an instant." She had a premonition that it would be difficult for people who floated down behind to reach the shore again.

When returning to the starting point of the rafting to change clothes, Wu Junjun met the family members of the woman who fell into the water. Wu Junjun saw that the husband of the woman who fell into the water had very large wounds on his face and legs and "walked with a limp."

"About 51% of rafting tourism accidents are caused by poor operation and management of scenic spots, including lack of safety management and control, lack of emergency rescue, substandard safety equipment, and lack of professionalism among employees; 23.6% of rafting tourism accidents are caused by natural disasters such as heavy rains and flash floods. In a paper published in November 2023, scholars such as You Maolin from the School of Physical Education of Jiangxi Normal University analyzed the causes of 55 rafting tourism accidents in China from 2005 to 2022. You Maolin also mentioned that due to the explosive growth of the rafting market, the supply of tourism products cannot keep up with the demand for consumption upgrades, and comprehensive safety supervision cannot keep up with the rapid development, making the relevant policies, regulations and safety prevention mechanisms of the rafting industry lagging behind. Hidden dangers of rafting tourism accidents are laid. Read the full text >>>

In the midsummer of this year, the "back sunbathing regimen" has become a trend again. Many people have shared on the Internet that they have gained more energy and blood, eczema is gone, constipation is relieved, leg pain is gone, and allergic rhinitis has been reported by many people online. The cough has improved... Sunbathing seems to be a "cure for all diseases". Does Sanfu sunbathing really have these effects?

Advocates and enthusiasts call basking on the back "moxibustion from heaven" and compare basking on the back during the dog days to "borrowing yang from the sky". A reporter from the Beijing News noticed that the "back sunbathing regimen" had emerged in the past two summers, and some celebrities and Internet celebrities shared their post-sunbaby feelings. A health blogger believes that one of the reasons why sunbathing has become popular is that many people's physical condition is affected after "Yang Kang" and "Two Yangs". This low-cost and easy-to-operate method of body conditioning has become popular.

Netizens shared their basking experience on social platforms.Web page screenshot

According to Zhang Wen, an attending physician at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine/Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, basking in the sun during the summer may be consistent with the theory of "nourishing yang in spring and summer." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the sun is at its peak during the year. At this time, the body's yang energy is growing and the meridians are unobstructed, which is suitable for warming yang and dispersing cold, strengthening the body and removing dampness, etc. "But the most important premise is to judge whether it is suitable and whether there are any contraindications based on the individual's constitution and underlying diseases. "

Some posts that Zhang Wen had viewed stated that regardless of gender, regardless of the severity of the disease, one should bask in the sun when the sun is at its strongest during the day. "I think this view is extreme and completely wrong." He suggested that it is best to bask in the sun during periods of mild sunshine, usually between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. The duration of each session needs to be determined according to the time. It depends on personal tolerance, generally 15 minutes to 30 minutes is appropriate.

"From the perspective of Western medicine, basking on the back does not have that magical effect." According to Sun Yan, chief physician of the Geriatric Endocrinology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, the main benefit of basking on the back is that it receives ultraviolet rays and helps cholesterol in the body convert into vitamin d. She told the Beijing News reporter that 30 to 60 minutes of normal sun exposure per day for easily exposed areas such as the head, neck, arms, and wrists is enough (to avoid the scorching sun), and there is no need for additional short-term high-intensity sun exposure. .

In the first half of this year, the deaths of several young university teachers once again brought ecological issues in the academic circle to the forefront of public opinion. Lifting the "ivory tower" veil, the living conditions of young teachers have taken a turn for the worse in recent years. We interviewed several young teachers to hear their true feelings about this "ivory tower" today.

"I am often torn between 'the mentor's affairs' and 'my own affairs'"

(Heavy Rain, liberal arts direction, "Green Pepper" reserve team)

When I was deciding whether to study for a Ph.D., I was in a bad state for a while, and " The relationship between "boss", what we often call mentors, is also somewhat tense. At that time, I was even walking in front of the school and saw people selling baked sweet potatoes and snacks at the stalls. They lived a very ordinary life, and I yearned for it. For a period of time, my own research was not going well. I was under a lot of pressure, and I had to make time to deal with chores in life and work. During the busiest time, I only have one day off out of seven days a week. In this process, it is very difficult to achieve some kind of balance. Because some things are usually trivial, they are "not important but urgent"; but my own time for scientific research is flexible, and it seems to be in the "important but not urgent" quadrant. I am often pulled back and forth between these two quadrants, and in the end I can only compress my time.

"If I had gone back a few years, I am not sure whether I would still choose to engage in academia."

(salary, "green pepper" in social sciences, "green pepper" for 6 years)

Looking back on the experience of tutoring students' graduation thesis in the past few years, I have to admit that , I did have certain expectations for this at first, but without exception, I was frustrated by the gap in reality every time. Such situations are not uncommon. Teachers gradually "don't dare" to have too many expectations for students, thinking that graduation is enough. As a student, you may gradually realize that the academic environment is not very good, so there is not much motivation. When I first heard this statement, I was shocked. We all know that in the Internet field, KPI is a very typical Internet term. Unexpectedly, we actually use such an expression publicly on university campuses. It falls on each individual teacher. Ultimately, what our university campuses seem to want to cultivate are “superhuman” young teachers.

"We can produce large quantities of famous scholars, but it is difficult to produce master-level scholars"

(Mr. Egg, the former "Green Pepper", "Jiao" for 28 years)

In the past, I always believed that learning was my own business. As long as we are good at knowledge, we can "turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window and read only the books of sages."Once you really enter academia, you will find that academia is not a paradise at all. If a young scholar does not join his own professional academic circle, it will be difficult to publish papers, no one will communicate with you, and there will be no hope for awards. Even if you find a It is almost impossible to be a close reader. Knowledge must be accumulated over time and gained through hard work. Such an academic ecology and academic system are destined to be difficult to produce true master-level scholars. It’s not that our generation of scholars isn’t smart enough, or that we don’t work hard, but that the direction of our efforts has shifted, and this shift is not something we can control independently. The current industry ecology and industry folk customs determine that we can produce a large number of famous scholars, but it is difficult to produce master-level scholars. Read the full text>>

On August 16, local time, Pethonthan, the daughter of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, was supported by more than half of the members of the House of Commons and was elected as the new Prime Minister. After being elected, Pethonthan will become the second female prime minister in Thailand's history and the youngest prime minister. Pethonthan is the third prime minister of Thailand's Shinawatra family. Before her, her father Thaksin Shinawatra and her aunt Yingluck Shinawatra had served as prime ministers. In addition, Thaksin's brother-in-law Somchai also briefly served as prime minister.

Pethonthan was elected as Thailand’s new prime minister, which to some extent ended Thailand’s recent political turmoil. Within the previous ten days, first the Far Progress Party, the largest party in the Thai House of Commons, was disbanded, and then Prime Minister Seetha Thakur was dismissed, triggering concerns that Thailand has entered a new round of political crisis. Expert analysis points out that Thailand is in the process of political transformation, and the game between various forces is still intensifying, so political instability is also expected.

Behind the recent political chaos in Thailand is the increasing conflict between conservative forces and progressive forces. Before the 2023 Thai general election, many people believe that Thailand is at a crossroads leading to change. At that time, emerging political parties that were supported by young people and proposed to separate from the military and change Thailand were gradually rising. Many young people were looking forward to Thailand changing the situation of the military government.

Over the past few decades, Thailand's military has never left politics. An obvious manifestation is that Thailand has had many military coups. In 2006, former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was deposed by a military coup. Thaksin was elected Prime Minister of Thailand twice in 2001 and 2005. He was the first Prime Minister in Thai history to serve for a full four years and the first Prime Minister to be re-elected through elections. However, in 2006, Thaksin was ousted in a coup staged by the military. Meanwhile, Thaksin faces a series of corruption charges. Over the past decade, Thaksin has been in exile overseas for a long time and did not return to China until last year.

"Thailand has been on the road to political reform in recent years, but there have always been differences between the parties on issues such as the direction and intensity of reform." Xu Liping said that currently the Pheu Thai Party and the conservative forces have combined, It is to jointly block new forces such as the Far Progress Party. They are all afraid that these new forces will have an overwhelming advantage in future elections. However, there are also conflicts between the Pheu Thai Party and the conservatives. Therefore, the game of power among all parties will continue, and Thailand's political situation may continue to be turbulent. Read the full text>>

The WHO has declared a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern (pheic)" seven times, including the 2020 COVID-19 epidemic. Recently, monkeypox has raised the highest alarm for the second time. This round of transmission is caused by the more virulent monkeypox clade II virus. Compared with the previous epidemic, more cases and deaths in children have been reported this time.

Question 1 How serious is the epidemic?

Question 2 What is the difference from the previous epidemic?

Lu Hongzhou, president of Shenzhen Third People's Hospital, told reporters that monkeypox IB is not only spread through animals, but also through human contact, such as secretions, rashes or contaminated items. Compared with iib variants, type ib is more commonly transmitted through sexual channels, and the lesions caused are more common in the genitals, increasing the risk of inadvertent transmission.

Question 3 Why do so many children die?

Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Infectious Diseases at Beijing You'an Hospital, once said that monkeypox mainly invades the human body through mucous membranes and damaged skin. Children may come into contact with secretions and body fluids of infected animals while playing with animals. , or were scratched and bitten. Africa's economic and sanitary conditions are weak, which is not conducive to disease control.

Question 4 How much impact does it have on our country?

Lu Hongzhou told reporters that the monkeypox virus strain currently circulating in my country belongs to the iib branch c.1.1 lineage. Considering the peak tourist season and frequent international exchanges, the risk of cross-border transmission of monkeypox virus may increase. However, monkeypox virus is mainly spread through long-term close contact, such as sexual intercourse, skin-to-skin contact, and breathing or talking at close range with others. The ability of interpersonal transmission is relatively weak.

Question 5 Should smallpox vaccine be revaccinated on a large scale?

Lu Hongzhou introduced that according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, people exposed to monkeypox virus infection should be vaccinated within 4 days; if there are no symptoms, it is recommended to be vaccinated within 14 days of possible exposure; given that medical staff face more difficulties when caring for monkeypox patients High infection risk, even if you have not been exposed to monkeypox virus, you should be vaccinated; considering that monkeypox virus is more concentrated among men who have sex with men in some areas, this group should also be vaccinated.
