Research progress and prospect of coal seam blasting antireflection technology in China by Zegong LIU, Guodong QIAO, Jian LIU, Kui GAO

“…Therefore, future development trends and prospects of coal seam blasting permeability enhancement technology are proposed: in deep structural areas of coal seams, precise directional blasting technology should be developed to enhance permeability accurately while avoiding deep-seated secondary coal-rock dynamic disasters; for permeability enhancement in soft and low-permeability coal seams, traditional borehole layout techniques should be revised, and blasting holes should be constructed within roof and floor strata, promoting strata blasting permeability enhancement technology; in intelligent blasting permeability enhancement, integration with artificial intelligence and big data analysis methods should be pursued, focusing on intelligent design of blasting schemes and evaluation of blasting effects, thereby further advancing coal seam blasting permeability enhancement technology in alignment with China’s direction towards safe and intelligent coal mining development.…”

Relationships between leisure participation, leisure constraints, and quality of life among individuals with lower-limb amputations in South Africa by Adri I. Visser, Mariette Swanepoel, Marike Cockeran, Cindy Kriel

“…Results: Weak to moderate relationships were found between leisure participation and constraints (interpersonal: τb = –0.01, p = 0.402; structural: τb = –0.21, p = 0.072). Moderate positive associations emerged between leisure participation and QoL in the disability module (τb = 0.21, p = 0.073), physical domain (τb = 0.20, p = 0.088) and environment domain (τb = 0.20, p = 0.091). …”
