    Abstract The outbreak of the COVID-19 in early 2020 and the recurring epidemic in later years have disturbed China's economy. Moreover, China's demographic dividend has been disappearing due to its fastest aging population and declining birth rate. The birth rates in eastern provinces of China are much lower than those of the western provinces. Considering the impacts of the COVID-19 and aging population, this paper focused on the relationship between birth rate and the disposable income and tried to find effective measures to raise China's birth rate. We discovered through regression analysis that the link between per capita disposable income and birth rate is initially "reverse J" and later "inverted J", indicating that per capita disposable income will influence the birth rate. Women's employment rate and educational level are negatively correlated with the birth rate. To raise the fertility rate in China, it is necessary to increase the marriage rate and the willingness to have children by raising the per capita disposable income and introducing effective tax relief policies.

    Abstract Social insurance is an essential component of a contemporary social security system since it protects people's fundamental well-being, but it also incurs a heavy cost for businesses. If social security costs are excessively high, business profitability will suffer, and innovation will be discouraged. The most affected companies would be those in labor-intensive industries and medium-sized enterprises. Chinese businesses have suffered severe losses as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Given the circumstance, China enacted additional tax cuts and preferential social insurance premium plans. This article suggests a lower ratio of contribution as a strategy to cut the cost of social insurance premiums for businesses, given the growth of the social security fund in recent years and the proportion of participants to recipients in pension funds. It would be possible to increase firm profitability and lessen the impact of COVID-19 on industries by minimizing this operation burden. In order to compare the financial performance of state-owned manufacturers (SOMs) to that of their non-state-owned peers, who have a lower ratio of contribution, this study uses a multiple regression model. The ratio of contributions was inversely correlated with an enterprise's financial performance. In other words, financial performance will improve as the ratio of contribution lowers; nevertheless, this effect is more pronounced in SOMs. The final section of this study proposed optimized approaches for social insurance premiums reform.

    Abstract Whole-genome sequencing of pathogenic bacteria Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from a less polluted environment of permafrost can help understand the intrinsic resistome of both antibiotics and metals. This study aimed to examine the maximum minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of both antibiotics and metals, as well as antibiotic resistance genes and metal resistance genes annotated from whole-genome sequences. The permafrost S. maltophilia was sensitive to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, streptomycin, and bacitracin, and resistant to chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Cr⁶⁺, with a lower maximum MIC, compared with clinical S. maltophilia. The former strain belonged to the lower antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) and metal resistance gene (MRG) clusters compared with the latter ones. The permafrost strain contained no or only one kind of ARG or MRG on a single genomic island, which explained the aforementioned lower maximum MIC and less diversity of ARGs or MRGs. The result indicated that the co-occurrence of antibiotic and metal resistance was due to a certain innate ability of S. maltophilia. The continuous human use of antibiotics or metals induced selective pressure, resulting in higher MIC and more diverse ARGs and MRGs in human-impacted environments.

    Abstract The global COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 has caused a significant drop in many countries’ employment rates and economies. Numerous countries have implemented a number of tax and fee reduction policies in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. This essay analyzes the tax and fee policies and results of the three largest economies in the world—China, the United States, and Japan—in response to COVID-19 between 2020 and 2021. We will first compare the effects of tax and fee reduction policies horizontally across China, the US, and Japan. The second step is to compare the effects of tax and fee reduction policies. According to the study, China, the United States and Japan have each implemented separate tax and fee policies in response to COVID-19. The United States primarily provides corporate income tax, personal income tax relief, and increased social welfare and subsidies that reduce the tax burden of enterprises, stimulate the vitality of enterprises, increase the disposable income of residents, stimulate consumption, and thus promote economic growth; Japan primarily provides income tax, consumption tax and business tax relief to reduce the cost of consumption for residents, increase corporate profits and cash flow, restore economic growth and stabilize employment. China primarily provides tax relief for VAT, corporate income tax and social security funds. It indirectly lowers the selling price of products, reduces the operating costs of enterprises, increases personal disposable income, stimulates consumption, promotes the growth of business performance and plays a certain role in curbing inflation. Based on the empirical analysis of the impact of different tax and fee reduction policies on the economy and employment in China, the United States and Japan, it is of some relevance for other countries. Therefore, in response to COVID-19 or major emergencies, each country can formulate targeted tax and fee reduction measures based on its own national conditions to support economic growth and stable employment.

    Abstract Wind profile radar systems require antennas with multiple radiation beams for detecting wind velocity, as well as with a low sidelobe and dual polarization for enhancing the sensitivity for the weak signal reflected from the turbulence. This paper proposes a lens antenna operating at 24 GHz with four reconfigurable beams for wind profile radars. This lens antenna includes 2 × 2 corrugated horn antennas for radiating 24 GHz waves in two polarizations, and the dielectric lens for modulating four radiation beams with a high gain and low sidelobe. Experiments demonstrate that this lens antenna can realize reconfigurable beams with deflections of ±15° in dual polarizations, meanwhile with the gain of 30.58 dBi and the sidelobe of -20 dB. This proposed lens antenna can be applied to mmWave wind profile radars of wind turbines for enhancing wind power efficiency.

    Abstract Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that affects wild and domestic animals. It is caused by members of the bacterial genus Brucella. Guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) is associated with microbial infections. However, the role of GBP1 during Brucella infection remains unclear. This investigation aimed to identify the association of GBP1 with brucellosis. Results showed that Brucella infection induced GBP1 upregulation in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. Small interfering GBP1 targeting RNAs were utilized to explore how GBP1 regulates the survival of Brucella intracellularly. Results revealed that GBP1 knockdown promoted Brucella's survival ability, activated Nod-like receptor (NLR) containing a pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) and absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammatory corpuscles, and induced pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-1β. Furthermore, Brucella stimulated the expression of GBP1 in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and mice. During the inhibition of GBP1 in BMDMs, the intracellular growth of Brucella increased. In comparison, GBP1 downregulation enhanced the accumulation of Brucella-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in macrophages. Overall, the data indicate a significant role of GBP1 in regulating brucellosis and suggest the function underlying its suppressive effect on the survival and growth of Brucella intracellularly.

    Abstract GntR10 is a transcriptional regulator in Brucella. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is involved in many cellular activities, playing major roles in orchestrating the expression of inflammatory genes and regulating protein function that is essential for pathogenic bacteria during infection. GntR10 deletion was previously found to affect the growth and the virulence of Brucella and expression levels of target genes of GntR10 in mice. However, the mechanisms of affection of NF-κB regulated by Brucella GntR10 are still unclear. Here, GntR10 deletion could regulate the expression of LuxR-type transcriptional activators (VjbR and BlxR) of the quorum sensing system (QSS) and type IV secretion system (T4SS) effectors (BspE and BspF) of Brucella. It could further inhibit the activation of the regulator NF-κB and affect the virulence of Brucella. This research provides new insights into the designing of Brucella vaccines and the screening of drug targets. Transcriptional regulators are predominant bacterial signal transduction factors. The pathogenicity of Brucella is due to its ability to regulate the expression of virulence related genes including quorum sensing system (QSS) and type IV secretion system (T4SS). Transcriptional regulators are designed to regulate gene expression and enact an appropriate adaptive physiological response. Here, we show that Brucella transcriptional regulator GntR10 regulated the expression of QSS and T4SS effectors, which affected the activation of NF-κB.
