The program’s contributions span economic growth, socio-cultural enrichment, environmental sustainability, and HR development, underscoring its comprehensive impact on tourism development.
How Do Trust on Dayah Leaders Influence Students Taking a Vaccination Against Covid-19 in Aceh?
Authors: Saleh Rahmat , Yanuar Deni , Azman Zakirah
Published: December 2024

The emergence of a policy on Covid-199 vaccination received massive rejection from the society. The government collaborated with opinion leaders who may have influence the society perception about the importance of Covid-19 Vaccination to solve the current problems. This study aims to examine the influence of trust on Dayah Leaders towards the level of students’ trust in Covid-19 vaccination. Using survey method, the study involved a sample of 500 students in 5 Dayah in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar both who had implemented vaccination policies and/or had only suggested vaccination appeals for their students. Conditions in Aceh are unique, namely the distinctiveness of Aceh which is robust with Islamic nuances and religious leaders are believed to be a source of information who are able to foster public trust. Nevertheless, this study confirms that student participation in the Covid-19 Vaccination is not entirely based on the influence of trust on Dayah Leaders. The result suggested that there is an influence of trust on Dayah Leaders on students’ confidence in Covid-19 vaccination, but the correlation and the influence is low at 14 percent. This indicates there are several other factors which have higher influence in convincing vaccination policy for students. This research findings also contradict the assumption that has been believed that the influence of the Dayah leaders is very significant in the students' decision to vaccinate against Covid 19. Hence, it gives recommendation for policy makers particularly in Aceh to properly construct message of the Covid-19 vaccination or other sensitive vaccination in the future.
Exploring Nietzsche's Politics of Isolation from an Epi-eugenic Framework: A New Perspective on the Marriage of Dionysus and Ariadne as “Ariadne AI”
Authors: Steinbuch Thomas
Published: December 2024

Following the texts of Ecce Homo, the case can be made that Nietzsche was retelling the myth of the Marriage of Dionysus and Ariadne as a story of brother/sister incest in a co-regency, bringing it into line with the divine descent of Pharaonic rulers of Egypt, as reflected in the myth of Isis and Osiris. Nietzsche would seem to be creating a new myth that combines elements we see in the iconography of the Marriage of Dionysus and Ariadne and in the Triumph of Dionysus in which Ariadne is present, but not necessarily as sharing in his triumph, and that he has left behind what is depicted in the iconography to make a philosophical presentation. Ariadne is co-regent with Dionysus in an image of the triumphant development of Dionysian will to power against its denial by an opposing psychology of vengefulness. The psychology of vengefulness seeks to destabilize self awareness in others of the will to power as a self-strengthening force at work in our lives, and does so because of the exactions we must endure in self-overcoming. Following the narrative of Wise § 3/final, her role as Cosima/Ariadne is one of sheltering. Ariadne's triumph, alongside Dionysus, over the reductive psychology of vengefulness against him, represents a victory in what Nietzsche refers to as his “Great Politics.” In this way, Ariadne plays a crucial role in Nietzsche's philosophical project, serving as a protector and guide for those who seek to fully realize the development of will to power in themselves and engage in the ongoing process of self-overcoming. Today, we can partially realize Nietzsche’s thought by using an AI in the role of Ariadne to isolate the pre-established disharmonia as per Nietzsche’s politics of isolation as a sheltering tactic. This use of AI in cultural selection is not to be confused with the previous linkages of Nietzsche’s philosophy to biological eugenics in the early 20th century, with their concerning  racist and ablest ideologies.
Leveling vs. Levelness
Authors: Begun Michael
Published: December 2024

In this essay, I follow the work of Jonas and Yacek in Nietzsche’s Philosophy of Education by contrasting a process of leveling in morality and education with an approach to levelness in teaching and learning as these relate to the educational philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. While Nietzsche would oppose the former due to its implied uniform standardization, I argue, with reference to the work of educational psychologist John B. Biggs, that his philosophy of education could sustain an outcomes-based approach to teaching and learning. While I hold that Nietzsche’s reflections on his own teaching practice evidence clear sympathy for such an approach, I consider two potential objections against its ascription to Nietzsche. In response to the deeper, second objection, which considers whether an outcomes-based approach to education entails some form of uniform standardization akin to that implied by the leveling process, I propose that a democratic reading of Nietzsche’s perfectionism together with the model of inclusive excellence proposed by Williams et al. may provide a more fitting standard. I conclude by reflecting on the potential democratic outcomes, as noted by Gurin et al., of developing a Nietzschean approach to teaching and learning based on such a standard of inclusive excellence.

NOMINATION OF SHAH IN THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE: UPDATE, REINTERPRETATION, COMBINATION, ETYMOLOGY
Authors:   O. O. Potebnia Institute of Linguistics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, SKOPNENKO Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

The article examines the functioning of the monetary unit shah in the Ukrainian
language of the new period. The material of artistic, dialect, historical and folklore texts
shows that the name shah at the beginning of the 19th century denoted a specific coin
and later — any small amount of money. It was established that the lexeme shah belongs
to the old Ukrainian heritage, which has been preserved in the new Ukrainian literary
language. Most etymological sources insist on the Ukrainian origin of the studied name.
Until the beginning of the 20th century the lexeme shah was passivized, but due to its high
frequency in the previous period it underwent the process of phraseologisation and became
element of many phrases that are actively used in the modern Ukrainian literary language.
The nomination shah to denote the hundredth part of the hryvnia was first established by
the «Law on the monetary unit, minting of coins and printing of state credit bills», which
was adopted by the Small Council of the Ukrainian People’s Republic on March 1, 1918.
After the defeat of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921, the name of the shah moved
to the category of historicism. With the restoration of Ukraine’s independence in 1991, a
new stage of updating the name shah began. During the introduction into circulation of the
national monetary unit of the hryvnia in 1996 the idea of returning to the nomination shah
for a Ukrainian exchange coin appeared. However, at that time the hundredth fraction of
the hryvnia was called a kopiika — an old borrowing from the Russian language.
On September 2, 2024 the National Bank of Ukraine initiated the change of the name
of the exchange coin, the kopiika per shah. A new process of updating and reinterpreting
the name of the shah in the Ukrainian language has begun.

Objective: to compare the frequencies of translocations detected by one-color and three-color FISH painting in the long term (24 years) after local over-irradiation (more than 100 Gy) of a patient during radiation therapy for breast cancer.
Material and methods: The material for the cytogenetical study were the cultures of venous blood lymphocytes of this patient. Cultivation of lymphocytes and preparation of chromosome preparations were carried out using variants of standard methods. Chromosomes were stained separately with one-color or three-color DNA probes for 1, 4 and 12 pairs. In both cases, 1000 metaphases were analyzed.
Results: In the present study, when using the one-color FISH-method, the frequency of detected reciprocal translocations was 0.5 per 100 analyzed cells, while with tricolor painting they were 2.2 times higher (1.0 per 100 metaphases). When using the available linear-quadratic dose dependence, the average dose to the whole body was estimated at 0.28 Gy, which is a consequence of the local nature of radiation damage, the death of lymphocytes in the zone of high-dose radiation damage and the obvious impossibility of their division.
Conclusion: The study of the frequency of chromosomal translocations in the long term after local overexposure during therapy in a patient for breast cancer using a three-color FISH-analysis is a more sensitive method in comparison with a one-color variant of FISH-painting.

Authors: Abdullah Rahmat , Nurmi Nurmi , S.Jamin Fitriah
Published: December 2024

Peanut plants require Nitrogen nutrient content to increase plant growth and maximum production. Increasing nitrogen nutrients in the soil can be obtained through the addition of organic fertilizers. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of organic fertilizers (burnt rice husks and chicken manure) on NO3- nutrient levels in peanut plants, to determine organic fertilizers (burnt rice husks and chicken manure) that will provide the highest NO3- nutrient levels in peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea L.) and to determine the correlation between NO3- nutrient levels with the growth and yield of peanut plants (Arachis hypogaea L.). This study was conducted from September to November 2022 in Toto Utara Village, Tilongkabila District, Bone Bolango Regency. The study used a Randomized Kelompaok Design (RAK) consisting of 3 treatment levels, namely P0 = without organic fertilizer, P1 = chicken manure 3kg/plot, and P2 = burnt rice husk fertilizer 3kg/plot. Each treatment was repeated 4 times so that there were 12 units/plot. The results of this study indicate that organic fertilizers have a significant effect on NO3- nutrient levels with NO3- nutrient levels in the chicken manure treatment of 0.89 (ppm) and in the burnt rice husk fertilizer treatment of 0.61. There is a strong and very strong positive linear correlation between plant height, number of pods, seed weight per plant, and seed weight per hectare with NO3- nutrient levels.

PREVENTIVE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF MAIN GAS PIPELINES
Authors: OSAULCHUK Oleh
Published: December 2024

The results of monument protection works on main gas pipelines are summarized based on the experience of the Scientific and Research Centre «Rescue Archaeological Service» of the Institute of Archaeology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Center’s experience acquired during preventive archaeological research implementation in the construction zones of linear objects of engineering and transport infrastructure is presented.

During 1992–2017, Center conducted archival and bibliographic research, archaeological investigations (surveys), archaeological excavations and archaeological supervision at 8 objects of the gas transportation system of Ukraine on a total length of almost 300 km. These works were performed at all three stages of the construction investment cycle: in pre-project, design and construction works.

It is presented how and to what extent the magistral gas pipelines construction effects on archaeological heritage objects. It is determined that the influence zone during construction is a right-of-way strip up to 38.5 m wide and land plots of ground structures and its protective zones, and the source of influence is earthworks on archeology objects and on their protective zones.

A clear regularity is observed: resource consumption growth and research cost increase are depending on the type of preventive archaeological research; processing areas reduction and the number of archeology objects are depending on the stage of investment project.

For monument protection measures it was applied an approach based on the mitigation hierarchy and it was proposed cultural heritage management procedures, taking into account the best international practices, namely:

1) at the stage of pre-project work it is advisable to prepare source data about known archaeological heritage sites and to make an impact assessment on them, to calculate the volume and cost of future investigations (surveys) for the approved version of the main gas pipeline route;

2) at the design stage it is necessary to make archaeological investigations (surveys) within the temporary diversion limits of the gas pipeline route, prepare a report and develop monument protection measures for all archeology objects that which is threatened a direct negative impact, determine the volume and calculate the estimates of such measures;

3) at the construction stage to provide monument protection works as archaeological excavations, archaeological supervision and archaeological site’s documents production for the archaeological monument;

4) at the operation stage the cultural heritage protection authorities are obliged to take into account all archaeological objects within the gas pipeline technical corridor into the state register and periodically to monitor their preservation condition.

Keywords: preventive archaeological research, archaeological investigations (surveys), archaeological excavations, archaeological supervision, cultural heritage protection, archaeological heritage protection, archaeological monuments, main gas pipeline.
SPECIAL OPERATION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION TO OCCUPY THE CRIMEAN PENINSULA: THE PSEUDO-REFERENDUM OF 2014
Authors: MURAVSKIY Oleh
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the illegal, falsified pseudo-referendum on the status of Crimea with pre-formed results and inflated turnout, which took place on March 16, 2014, in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol occupied by Russia. The paper notes that it was preceded by the occupation of the Crimean peninsula by the Russian Federation in late February - early March 2014, and the event itself took place in the conditions of the Russian military presence, without free access to information. It is stated that the central authorities of Ukraine, including the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the National Security and Defense Council, the Ministry of Justice and other institutions, strongly condemned this referendum as illegal and held under duress. The author shows the attitude of the Crimean Tatar people and the Mejlis to the pseudo-referendum (they openly condemned Russia's actions, calling them aggression, and declared that it is impossible to determine the future of Crimea without the participation of the Crimean Tatars, who are historically the indigenous people of the peninsula). Although Western states, the United Nations and the European Union condemned Russia's actions, this, however, could not prevent the occupation of the peninsula, as Russia continued to ignore international resolutions. It is noted that the pseudo-referendum was illegal under the Constitution of Ukraine, as changes in the territorial integrity of the country can only be decided by a national referendum, not at the local level, and state borders and territorial integrity are inalienable principles of international law, which were violated by this referendum. Pseudo-referendum did not meet any standards of democratic elections - numerous voting violations were recorded during its conduct, including manipulation of voter lists, improper functioning of election commissions, voting of “dead souls” and the absence of independent observers.
Researcher of Interethnic Contacts: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Yakiv Isakovych Shternberh (1924–1992)
Authors: Chotari Yurii , Mandryk Ivan
Published: December 2024

Yakiv Isakovych Shternberh (János Váradi-Sternberg – both forms of the surname and name were in the paper) was a former professor at Uzhhorod State (now National) University, an outstanding scholar of the history of Transcarpathia and Hungarian-Ukrainian relations. The achievements of the scholar, who was born 100 years ago, are researched, analysed and properly evaluated. Due to his Jewish origin, he was forced to leave his hometown of Oradea (now Romania) and his family at a young age as fascism rose to power. The paper described how he miraculously escaped to Moldova and later to the Soviet Union, where he pursued a career first as a laborer and later as a scholar. After graduating from St. Petersburg University, he moved to Uzhhorod University in 1949, where his knowledge of Hungarian facilitated his research into Hungarian history.

János Váradi-Sternberg primarily studied the history of the liberation struggle of 1703–1711 under the leadership of Ferenc Rákóczi II, but the main topic of his scientific interests was the study of interethnic relations, in particular centuries-old Hungarian-Ukrainian cultural and scientific contacts. It has been found that the research of the scientist provided significant data on the topic of Hungarian-Ukrainian relations, in particular, studies on the relations between Rus and Hungary in the 11th century, on the Hungarian Queen Anastasia Yaroslavna, on the Ukrainian portrait painter of Ferenc Rákóczi II, on Hryhorii Skovorodaʼs stay in Hungary, on Ivan Frankoʼs contacts with Hungary, on students of the Kyiv Academy of the 18th century, on the relationship between the artist Mihály Zichy and Taras Shevchenko, etc.

Váradi-Sternberg’s approach to scholarship was thorough and respectful, demonstrating a understanding of his chosen topics and a recognition of the cultures of neighboring peoples. He was a sceptical historian. He believed that only factual material confirmed by sources in accordance with scientific standards should be used. During his short life, he did not fully achieve his goal, but he managed to lay the foundations for further research.

It is concluded that the scientific and popular science works of János Varadi-Sternberg played an significant role in promoting the history of the periods he studied and in fostering closer ties between the Hungarian and Slavic peoples.

Activities of the United Nations General Assembly Against the Background of the Contemporary Russian-Ukrainian War
Authors: Artymyshyn Pavlo
Published: December 2024

The activities of the UN General Assembly in the context of the contemporary Russian-Ukrainian war are studied. Unlike the UN Security Council, the General Assembly's work was not hindered by the restrictions of the veto power, which the Russian Federation, as a permanent member of the Security Council, consistently abuse. This distinction significantly influenced the outcomes of the General Assembly, which swiftly addressed the war triggered by Russian aggression against Ukraine from its early stages in 2014. The course of adoption and the key content of UN General Assembly resolutions related to Russian aggression against Ukraine in 2014–2023 are traced: resolution 68/262 «Territorial integrity of Ukraine» dated March 28, 2014; resolutions «Situation of human rights in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukraine)» 2016–2022; resolutions «The problem of militarization of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukraine), as well as parts of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov» 2018–2021; resolutions of the Eleventh Extraordinary Special Session of the UN General Assembly dedicated to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 (ES-11/1 – ES-11/6).

The analysis UN General Assembly resolutions lack binding legal force, being advisory and recommendatory in nature, they nonetheless reflect substantial global support for Ukraine, particularly among Western countries. The UN General Assembly under the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, became for the Ukrainian leadership one of the platforms from which, by preparing and initiating the consideration of resolutions, it was possible to convey to the world public Ukrainian approaches to the Russian aggression, to call for its firm condemnation and, in coordination with other states of the world, to seek ways to settle the Russian-Ukrainian war and achieve a just peace in accordance with the UN Charter, the norms of international law and the national interests of Ukraine.

Key words: General Assembly, United Nations, resolutions, Russian-Ukrainian war, full-scale invasion, Ukraine, Russian Federation.
1-Guardable Subgraphs of Graphs
Authors: Çakmak Nazlıcan , Akyar Emrah
Published: December 2024

The cops and robber game is played on a graph. There are two players in the game, consisting of a set of cops and only one robber. They
play, respectively; on each player’s turn, the player may either stay in their vertex or move to an adjacent vertex. The robber is captured when
one of the cops enters the vertex with the robber. Therefore, the cop wins the game, and the game ends.
In this study, 1-guardable subgraphs of graphs in the game of cops and robber are considered. We mention some special subgraphs and their
relations. It is known that if the subgraph is 1-guardable, then it must be isometric, but the converse of this argument may not be true. We
show that for the converse to be true, some conditions must be added.

Huelva y la Gran Guerra
Authors: Rodríguez Ros Alfonso
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo resaltar una parte de la historia de Huelva que ha sido bastante ignorada hasta ahora. Se trata de un periodo único y excepcional, ya que no se puede encontrar en el devenir onubense un momento en el que la convergencia de lo local, nacional e internacional haya sido tan relevante debido a estas circunstancias históricas específicas. Aquí analizamos cómo la Primera Guerra Mundial influyó en la economía, la sociedad y la cultura de la capital onubense, poniendo especial énfasis en el papel que desempeñaron las compañías mineras, las tensiones laborales y las dinámicas de espionaje asociadas con el conflicto. Estos elementos no solo alteraron la vida cotidiana en la región, sino que también transformaron su estructura social y económica.
Systematic review of studies about the use of language with sexist connotations in fairytales and nursery rhymes of Early Childhood
Authors: Villegas José Virginia , Rubio-Machuca Belén , Álvarez Díaz Katia , Márquez Díaz José Ramón
Published: December 2024

The use of language through popular children's fairytales and nursery rhymes expresses ideas about what is expected of girls and boys based on the gender. These literary studies are consequences of the oral poetic tradition and cultural aspects of different contexts and times. Likewise, it is possible to demonstrate how such productions come to show traditional beliefs and customs related to the feminine and masculine ideal that, at the same time, stand as a social value. This is why the aim of this study is to identify the use of language with sexist connotations, such as gender roles and gender stereotypes, in nursery rhymes and fairytales. For this purpose, a systematic review has been carried out following the methodology PRISMA 2020 Statement, using high impact databases such as Eric, Scopus and Google Scholar. Also, Artificial Intelligences were included in the systematic review: Consensus IA, Elicit.org and Copilot. The analysis of the scientific production based on the use of language with sexist connotations in nursery rhymes and fairytales in Early Childhood education has been identified a total of 22 documents. The results show that the gender relations represented in children's fairytales and nursery rhymes from a perspective of inequality that favours the figure of traditional male dominance, as opposed to the submission of women, reiterated in the oral and written tradition. This is clear evidence of the social separation of male and female roles, which constitutes a challenge for current education, that of influencing children's nursery rhymes and fairytales to overcome these traditional gender stereotypes.

Authors: Vaquero Ibarra Nuria
Published: December 2024

The article examines the relationship between the characteristics of language programs for adult migrants and their educational effectiveness, using the OECD report Language Training for Adult Migrants (OECD, 2021) as a reference. This report offers conclusions from an international study on teaching practices, which has allowed the identification of a series of conditions that can help governments, institutions, and program providers improve the quality of language training aimed at this group of language learners.
A qualitative study conducted in nine entities in the Community of Madrid offering Spanish programs for adult migrants is presented. The work included the participation of directors, academic coordinators, and Spanish teachers, who were interviewed using the semi-structured interview technique, totaling 14 participants. The main objective of the study was to assess whether the practices of these entities are aligned with the OECD recommendations (2021), identify achievements in implemented language training programs, and detect possible aspects that need to be adjusted in Spanish programs for adult migrants to ensure users' right to quality language training that facilitates their integration.
Textbook layout and the effectiveness of learning: an eye-tracking study on EFL textbook sample
Authors: Andrychowicz-Trojanowska Agnieszka , Grucza Sambor
Published: December 2024

It comes as no surprise that teachers, including English as a foreign language (EFL) ones, meet a variety of students in their classrooms, as no student group is homogenous – in a typical (EFL) classroom usually there are some ‘average’ students and weak ones, some skilled and talented ones, together with those with special educational needs. The last group, limited to dyslexia, is of our special interest. It is because in the Polish schools the group of dyslexic students is getting bigger and bigger but teachers are still not trained well enough to successfully cooperate with them.
Eye-tracking studies involving dyslexia mainly concentrate on reading and writing in children with dyslexia. These studies show that dyslexics suffer from deficits in the area of language processing, which is reflected in their eye movements. However, dyslexics and non-dyslexics use the same textbooks at school. Modern textbooks are tools of multimedia teaching and learning. They also have very attractive layouts and visuals, which very often are not suitable for dyslexics. In our eye-tracking study, that was conducted with the help of SMI RED 500 eye tracker, we examined the eye movement patterns of 120 Polish teenagers (60 dyslexic, 60 non-dyslexic) working with 3 sets of materials imitating pages of an EFL textbook. We analysed 4 oculographic parameters (first fixation duration, fixation count, dwell time, revisit count), and one parameter unrelated to eye movements (answer correctness). The results show that with the use of proper layouts and designs, textbooks can minimise differences in the effectiveness of the work done, and results achieved, by dyslexic students compared to non-dyslexic ones. These conclusions are of great significance because they help equalise the educational chances of dyslexic students.
The development of multiliteracy in English as a Foreign Language through a gamified project: “Stranger disappearance”
Authors: Toscano-Fuentes Carmen M. , Sánchez-Gago Elisabeth
Published: December 2024

Our society is immersed in a technological environment which influences not only students learning process but also the methodological approaches. Teenagers spend part of their free time playing with videogames or publishing posts on their social networks through their cellphones. This interest towards technological games can be the excuse to implement methodologies where technology takes place. Besides, these social shifts have transformed the concept of literacy, that is how to read and write into the notion of multiliteracy (Cope & Kalantzis, 2009; New London Group, 1996) where these two skills are developed through multimodal channel not only the written mode. One of the active methodologies which could be implemented when teaching English as a foreign language is Gamification since it could foster the development of literacy through a multimodal channel since it combines visual, auditory and written mode. One of the advantages of this active methodology is the increase of motivation and engagement towards the learning process. However, to become a fluent reader in English as a Foreign Language is not an easy task since there is not a total correspondence between the graphemes and phonemes hindering the comprehension of what it is written. The purpose of this study has been to prove if the implementation of a gamified project could strengthen the multiliteracy process and increase motivation towards the learning process. The results show there have been an improvement not only in the comprehension of written texts but also in the level of motivation towards the work of that specific skill.

Published: December 2024

The 2023 World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Open Science Conference underscored the critical need for increased climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, along with enhanced climate knowledge and decision-making systems. This Perspective discusses climate intervention (CI) within WCRP’s research framework, emphasizing three main approaches: terrestrial carbon dioxide removal (CDR), marine CDR, and solar radiation modification (SRM). As global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, CI strategies are increasingly recognized as potentially critical supplements to traditional mitigation methods. We call for WCRP to take a leadership role in CI research, highlighting the need for inclusivity and collaboration, especially with researchers from the Global South, to establish a firm scientific foundation for an equitable and comprehensive assessment of the benefits and risks of CI approaches relative to the risks of anthropogenic climate change.
Commodifying compassion: a critical discourse analysis of Spanish zoo, aquarium and animal theme parks’ lobbies
Authors: Aranceta-Reboredo Olatz , Almiron Núria
Published: December 2024

The influence of the zoological park industry on public compassion remains an understudied area that is pivotal to understanding how public relations—specifically persuasive communication—attempts to shape public consent regarding the use of animals in entertainment. This paper addresses this issue by conducting a critical discourse analysis of the main interest groups in Spain’s zoological park industry: AIZA, Grupo Parques Reunidos, and Loro Parque Fundación. The results show that despite these actors’ compassionate self-representations, they use objectifying language, biological hierarchization, and commodification to represent nonhuman animals. In particular, they portray themselves as “advocates” for animal welfare and legitimize their efforts through a process akin to ethics washing. They use thematic elements and emotional engagement to convey the concept of the “modern zoo.” Finally, they strategically acknowledge societal compassion and frame themselves as aligned with current societal values and attitudes. We conclude that the current discursive strategies of the main Spanish zoological park industry lobbies go beyond the typical arguments related to entertainment, science and conservation, instrumentalizing public compassion to justify the captivity, confinement and exhibition of nonhumans.
Quantitative evaluation study of lithium sustainable development policies in China based on the PMC index model

The sustainable development of lithium is essential for facilitating the low-carbon energy transition and ensuring sustainable economic growth. Understanding the effectiveness of China’s policies on lithium development is vital for advancing these goals. This study constructed a comprehensive policy evaluation system using content analysis and the PMC (Policy Modeling Consistency) index model. A total of 12 representative policies were analyzed, and their performance was visualized through PMC surface diagrams. The evaluation revealed that among the 12 policies, 2 were rated as “excellent,” 9 as “good,” 1 as “acceptable,” and none as “poor.” These results indicate that China’s policies for lithium’s sustainable development are generally well-designed and scientifically grounded. Despite their strengths, the policies exhibit areas for improvement, including low timeliness, insufficient long-term planning, and limited dynamic adjustment mechanisms. Regional policy coordination is also lacking, especially in non-major lithium-producing areas where policy quality tends to be lower. To address these issues, we recommend optimizing future policies by enhancing timeliness and flexibility, improving regional coordination, refining policy tools, and increasing public participation.
Planning of distributed energy storage with the coordination of transmission and distribution systems considering extreme weather

As the penetration level of renewable energy is continuously growing, it is essential for transmission and distribution system operators to collaborate on optimizing the siting and sizing of distributed energy storage to enhance the operational flexibility and economic efficiency. Given the frequent occurrence of extreme weather in recent years, the planning should also account for such factors. Hence, a planning method of distributed energy storage with the coordination of transmission and distribution systems considering extreme weather is proposed. Firstly, a Gaussian mixture model-based chance constraint is established to describe the uncertainty of wind and solar power, ensuring high confidence that the bus voltage of the distribution system is within a safe range. Secondly, aiming to maximize the social welfare, a bi-level planning model for distributed energy storage is developed. The upper-level addresses the siting and sizing issues of distributed energy storage, while the lower-level characterizes the day-ahead clearing problem of power market. By leveraging Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions and linearization techniques, the bi-level model is transformed into a single-level mixed integer linear programming model that is easier to solve. Finally, numerical analysis is conducted on a modified IEEE 24-node system combined with two IEEE 33-node systems. The case study verifies the effectiveness of the proposed model.
