Nanoformulation of Glycyrrhizic Acid as a Potent Antiviral Agent
Against Covid-19
Authors: Ghosh Sayani , Patra Prasun
Published: January 2022

In many previous studies, liquorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra) extracts have been found to
contain more than 300 natural compounds, most of which are triterpenoids and flavonoids, and show
promising results in clinical studies for treating many microbial and viral infections. Triterpenoids, like
glycyrrhizic acid, have shown anti-SARS-CoV activity in vitro. Experimentally, certain glycyrrhizic
acid derivatives have shown increased activity by many folds against SARS-associated viruses. These
compounds can potentially inhibit the replication cycle of SARS-associated viruses by interfering with
the viral gene expression or by inhibiting the spike protein expression, which in turn inhibits the adhesion
and entry of the virus. Although the therapeutic has shown great antiviral activity in vitro, but in
vivo, its efficiency deteriorates till it reaches the liver for metabolism. In the current review, we analyze
the unique replication strategy of SARS-CoV-2 and glycyrrhizic acid as a potential drug against
SARS-CoV-2. We also discuss possible nanoformulations of glycyrrhizic acid for efficient drug delivery
in humans and as a potent therapeutic strategy for COVID-19.

Authors: Trang Do Thi Thuy , Quỳnh Le Thi Nhu
Published: January 2022

When studying the entire history of philosophy, K. Marx wrote: "All genuine philosophy is the spiritual quintessence of its time"(Marx & Engels, 2002). It is understood that the birth of philosophy was conditioned by contemporary socio-historical conditions and other theories and ideas that contribute to the spiritual appearance of that era. Not outside the above rule, the process of arising and developing Greek philosophy in general and of Aristotle's political thought, in particular, is a reflection and is maintained by historical, economic, and political conditions - Ancient Greek society. F. Engels wrote: "Without slavery, there would be no Greek state, no Greek art, and science" (Marx & Engels, 2002). Therefore, the study of Aristotle's political thought must be placed in the historical conditions of its formation. Within the scope of the article, the author focuses on analyzing historical conditions for the forming of Aristotle's political thought in terms of natural, economic - social, and cultural-political conditions.

Published: January 2022

Lobster is a product of the fishery sector which has a very high selling value, fishermen in coastal areas, especially in the Pangandaran area, sell the catch on traditional markets and are exported overseas. The expensive lobster selling value is inversely proportional to the income received by fishermen, the problems faced are influenced by several factors, namely whether, fishing regulations, and technology used, lobster sales will increase if the sales process if fishermen can sort and sort lobster sized large, which has a very high export value, the problems faced by fishermen currently sell directly to the fish market or buyers without going through the grading process. The grading system can be done manually but this causes the lobster to become not fresh because of the fairly long sorting process. The sorting and grading system method is a must so that a sold lobster possesses export value and quality, some large fishermen use a very large and fairly expensive sorting tool and are only owned by fishermen with large capital as well as catching patterns and large-scale lobster production. In small fishermen limited to the number of catches and transport capacity.
Waste Management System in Pekanbaru City: City Government Capability, Issues, and Policy Alternatives
Authors: Adlin Adlin
Published: January 2022

This study aims to describe the government's capability in waste management, problems, and alternative policies that can be made to overcome waste management problems in the city of Pekanbaru. This research uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative methods describe the government's capability in waste management by distributing questionnaires to lecturers, students, and alumni of the Environmental Science doctoral program at the University of Riau, environmental activists, and academics with master's degrees who know about waste issues in the city of Pekanbaru. Qualitative research methods describe issues and policy alternatives by relying on document data from various literature ranging from journals, books, and online media, which are then analyzed using interactive data analysis methods. The results of quantitative data analysis show that the majority of respondents stated that the indicators of the Pekanbaru city government's capability in managing waste transportation were the weakest technical and leadership skills. Furthermore, the results of qualitative data analysis show that the capacity factor and waste management issues can be overcome with several alternative policies. The problem of poor waste management can be overcome by using sustainable waste management, which needs to be supported by strong political will from the city government in making adequate regulations, updating waste management technology, utilizing information technology for waste transportation, and strengthening human resources. In addition, the government needs to involve the community and stakeholders to reduce waste production, collect waste, and sort waste. The support of the city government, entrepreneurs, and city residents will determine the success of sustainable waste management.
Hybrid optimization in loop: 3D human body reconstruction from basic information
Authors:   Modeling and Simulation, Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation, Hanoi, Vietnam, et al. Duc
Published: January 2022

3D human reconstruction is widely used for digital transformation in different industries such as e-retail, entertainment, health care, epidemiology. For practical applicability, the modeling process is required to be quick, affordable while still ensuring capabilities in reconstruction accuracy and reliability. To meet such business requirements, we propose a novel technique for producing an exact 3D human body using only basic anthropomorphic measurements. To begin, the paper refers to and summarizes core technologies of the three most common 3D human reconstruction approaches, including (1) Using Point Clouds, (2) Using Images, and (3) Using Anthropometric Measurements. Despite successfully recreating 3D human shapes, these methods face problems of long processing time and high investment cost, making the solution impractical for mass use. Moreover, in the human reconstruction sector particularly, the variety of human shapes, poses, and clothing poses a significant challenge to output accuracy. In this regard, our method combines (1) a local optimization model for determining hyperparameters for classifying different human shapes and (2) a global optimization for reconstructing 3D models, allowing reconstruction of both naked human bodies and clothed ones. The proposed method was evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively using a real dataset to demonstrate its feasibility and efficiency when used in real-world applications.

Authors: Shorey Shefaly , Tan Thiam Chye , Thilagamangai   , Mathews Jancy , Yu Chun Yan , Lim Siew Hoon , Shi Luming , Ng Esperanza Debby , Chan Yiong Huak , Law Evelyn , Chee Cornelia , Chong Yap Seng
Published: January 2022

Background

The transition to parenthood can be challenging, and parents are vulnerable to psychological disorders during the perinatal period. This may have adverse long-term consequences on a child’s development. Given the rise in technology and parents’ preferences for mobile health apps, a supportive mobile health intervention is optimal. However, there is a lack of a theoretical framework and technology-based perinatal educational intervention for couples with healthy infants.

Objective

The aim of this study is to describe the Supportive Parenting App (SPA) development procedure and highlight the challenges and lessons learned.

Methods

The SPA development procedure was guided by the information systems research framework, which emphasizes a nonlinear, iterative, and user-centered process involving 3 research cycles—the relevance cycle, design cycle, and rigor cycle. Treatment fidelity was ensured, and team cohesiveness was maintained using strategies from the Tuckman model of team development.

Results

In the relevance cycle, end-user requirements were identified through focus groups and interviews. In the rigor cycle, the user engagement pyramid and well-established theories (social cognitive theory proposed by Bandura and attachment theory proposed by Bowlby) were used to inform and justify the features of the artifact. In the design cycle, the admin portal was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, whereas the SPA, which ran on both iOS and Android, was developed using hybrid development tools. The SPA featured knowledge-based content, informational videos and audio clips, a discussion forum, chat groups, and a frequently asked questions and expert advice section. The intervention underwent iterative testing by a small group of new parents and research team members. Qualitative feedback was obtained for further app enhancements before official implementation. Testing revealed user and technological issues, such as web browser and app incompatibility, a lack of notifications for both administrators and users, and limited search engine capability.

Conclusions

The information systems research framework documented the technical details of the SPA but did not take into consideration the interpersonal and real-life challenges. Ineffective communication between the health care research team and the app developers, limited resources, and the COVID-19 pandemic were the main challenges faced during content development. Quick adaptability, team cohesion, and hindsight budgeting are crucial for intervention development. Although the effectiveness of the SPA in improving parental and infant outcomes is currently unknown, this detailed intervention development study highlights the key aspects that need to be considered for future app development.

Published: January 2022

Background

Annually, in the month of Dhul hijjah, over 2 million Muslims travel to Saudi Arabia to perform hajj. Hajj is the biggest mass gathering globally, which creates a substantial influence on hajjes’ health. The Omani medical mission is the official delegation from the Omani government to Saudi Arabia to serve the Omani hajjees regarding their health issues.

Objective

This study investigates the referral rate and pattern of diseases among hajjees referred by the Omani medical mission during Hajj 1440 H.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Omani Medical missions in Makkah, Madinah, Mina, and Arafat. Data was collected via a predesigned form. All Omani pilgrims presenting to the mission who were referred to local hospitals were included.

Results

The total number of cases was 5000, of which 106 (2.1%) were referred to local hospitals (21.2 per 1000 hajjees). The most common causes of referral were cardiovascular diseases (23.6%), followed by gastrointestinal disease (17.9%) and trauma (16.9%). Male patients comprised 60.1% of the sample. Their mean age was 47.3 (SD 11.27) years, with the highest referrals in the 51-60 years age group (30%). Over half (55.7%) had comorbidities. Patients’ mean time to reach the clinic was 8.87 (SD 6.41) minutes, with 65% arriving in 5 minutes or less. The mean time needed to reach the hospital by ambulance was 11.39 (SD 6.6) minutes, with 36% arriving within 5 minutes. Of the referrals, 42% were admitted into the hospital. Hospitalization was significantly higher among patients with chest pain (P<.006), diabetics (P<.001), and patients with heart disease (P=.01).

Conclusions

The most common causes for referral of hajjees from the Omani Medical Mission were cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal disease, and trauma. This information should assist the Omani government in planning their medical services in the hajj season in future years.

Effect of a Daily Collagen Peptide Supplement on Digestive Symptoms in Healthy Women: 2-Phase Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Abrahams Mariette , O’Grady Rochez , Prawitt Janne
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

The effect of dietary collagen on managing digestive symptoms is currently lacking in the literature.

OBJECTIVE

To gain a better understanding of this issue, we conducted a 2-phase mixed methods study.

METHODS

Phase 1 was a mixed methods design to explore current attitude and practice among consumers and health care practitioners. The findings were used to design an 8-week phase 2 digital study called Gutme! conducted in the United States in healthy female volunteers (BMI>25 kg/m2). Our aim was, first, to determine the feasibility of conducting a fully digital mixed methods study; second, the study explored the effect of an 8-week daily supplementation of 20 g dietary collagen peptide (Peptan) on digestive symptoms. Phase 2 was a prospective, open-label, longitudinal, single-arm study. Participation involved 2 weeks of baseline tracking (digestive symptoms, mood, stool, and lifestyle) using an app, followed by 8 weeks of tracking and taking 20 g collagen peptide supplement split into 2 dosages per day. Participants were required to complete a web-based symptom questionnaire at baseline, week 2, and week 8, as well as participate in 2 scheduled video interviews.

RESULTS

Phase 1 revealed that consumer awareness of collagen for digestive health is low (64/204, 31.4%). Among the dietitians prescribing collagen for their patients, the most common dosage was 20 g a day with notable effects after 6 weeks of intake. Within the phase 2 study, of the 40 recruited participants, 14 (35%) completed the full course of supplementation. The findings indicate that 93% (13/14) of those who completed the study experienced a reduction in digestive symptoms, which included bloating.

CONCLUSIONS

A mixed methods digital study design is feasible and acceptable for collecting relevant data in a real-life setting. The use of a 20 g daily collagen peptide supplement may reduce bloating and improve mild digestive symptoms in otherwise healthy female adults in the absence of any other dietary or lifestyle interventions.

A Study on Shrimp Farming and Surveillance
Authors: Malvi Shiv
Published: January 2022

Abstract: The present study provides a distributed monitoring system prototype and a proof of concept in this research article. Environmental control, as well as solid foundations like quality seeds and better food, are essential for successful shrimp farming. Nowadays, farmers manually and irregularly check the pond's environmental parameters, largely based on their own experience, which is time-consuming and costly in terms of labour. Monitoring is normally done only when the farmer notices an abnormality in the shrimp's condition or when the environment changes substantially. When this happens, the technique for rebalancing the farming environment is usually quite complicated and costly. As a result, environmental elements are ineffectively monitored. The proposed system is composed of a water quality monitoring system and a timer-based aerator automation system.
Experimental Study on Translucent Concrete
Authors: Wahane Anurag
Published: January 2022

Abstract: Light-transmitting concrete, known also as translucent concrete, is literally the brightest concrete development in recent years. Strands of optical fibers are cast by the thousands into concrete to transmit light, either natural or artificial, into all spaces surrounding the resulting translucent panels. The material can be used in a variety of architectural and interior design applications, such as wall cladding and dividers. The main theme of this paper is use of optical fibers in concrete, which is energy saving and green technology. It lends great energy savings in closed and non-ventilated spaces. Due to small size of the fibers, they blend into concrete becoming a component of the material like small pieces of aggregate. By using plastic optical fibers in concrete specimens, light transmission occurs through optical fibers, which make it possible to see light, shades and even colors through very thick walls. The work presented in this paper reports an investigation on the behavior of concrete and mortar with optical fiber. Concrete and mortar cube are casted with fibers to study the properties and to compare with optical fiber. The light transmission of concrete samples made with different fiber amount varies from 2% to 4% and with thickness 0.25mm to 0.75mm were studied. The light transmission is seen to increase with the increase in fiber content and increase in the diameter. Keywords: Optical fibre, Light transmitting concrete, Translucent concrete.
The perception and attitude towards cultural differences and the effects they have on hospitality and tourism industry
Authors: Colocassides Eleftherios M.
Published: January 2022

The decision of an organization to be active in the field of hospitality and tourism should include correct perceptions and attitudes that are related to the diversity of people both individually and through the examination of the social culture in which they live. The consequences of a positive social change include the ability to identify benefits for both the organization and its employees (Nwankpa, Ijomah, Gachagan, & Marshall, 2018). The understanding and respecting of cultural differences have significant effects in achieving the goals of an organization that is operating in the hospitality and tourism industry. As tourism is the main source of intercultural contacts, any cultural differences can effect on staff dealing with current and future challenges of tourism in the country (Miličević, Mihalič, & Sever, 2017). The purpose of this article is to present the design and methodology that has been used to examine this topic, and describe the findings and implications of the results in order to support the organizations and their staff employed in the hospitality and tourism industry, and therefore, regarding the perceptions and attitudes towards cultural differences and the effects they have on tourists as human beings. The article presents a real empirical study of research related to the local industry in the Republic of Cyprus

The Influence of Compost on Arsenic Removal from Contaminated Groundwater in Granitic Aquifers
Authors: Dechdacho Porraket , Hershey Ronald , Perez Lazaro , Parashar Rishi
Published: January 2022

Arsenic is classified as a group 1 human carcinogen according to the World Health Organization. Anthropogenic activities such as mining and wood preservation contribute to arsenic contamination of surface and sub-surface water. Most of the currently available remediation strategies to remove arsenic involve slow processes and produce residues that are difficult to treat or dispose. In this study, with an objective to develop alternative arsenic remediation strategies, we examined removal of arsenic using organic compost as a potential adsorbent. We ran saturated column experiments by injecting 10 mg/L arsenic-spiked synthetic groundwater to compare the arsenic removal between the presence and absence of compost in granitic aquifers. The water analysis showed the compost removed 14 percent (%) of arsenic from the contaminated water within 16 min, while there was no change in arsenic concentration in the experiment without compost. The results illustrated that arsenic treatment using compost is feasible for contaminated groundwater remediation. Different pH evolution was also observed in both experiments. The column with only decomposed granite showed a small decrease in pH, which we believed was caused by a dissolution of silicate minerals in the granite. The column with compost exhibited a more fluctuating pH. An abrupt drop in pH was observed at an early time period and thought to be caused by release of H+ from organic anions after water interacted with the compost. After the initial period, the change in pH was primarily driven by mixing of the water used for column saturation and the injected contaminated groundwater. The major factors identified for arsenic removal are the presence of iron (Fe) and a lower starting pH condition in the compost experiment, which provides more available sorption sites leading to higher arsenic sorption.

Objective: To compare accelerated and delayed weight-bearing rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction regarding clinical outcome measures of knee function (International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC), Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, Tegner Activity Scale, and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)), knee laxity, range of movement,quadriceps, and bone tunnel enlargement.Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods: Systematic searches of Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library databases, from inception to February 2021, for studies comparing delayed or accelerated weight-bearing rehabilitation protocol after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructionin adult patients.Results: Nine studies met the eligibility criteria. A meta-analysis revealed a higher risk of knee laxity in the accelerated weight-bearing group. Accelerated weight-bearing may be related to higher IKDC scores, while there was no statistical difference for Lysholm, Tegner, and KOOS scores at a follow-up within 2 years. Four of 5 studies reported no statistical difference for quadriceps strength and range of movement scores, while 2 studies reported bone tunnel enlargement in the accelerated weight-bearing group. Conclusion: This systematic review confirmed that accelerated weight-bearing caused more serious knee laxity and bone tunnel widening than delayed weight-bearing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We therefore recommend that clinicians should select postoperative rehabilitation programmes with caution.
LAY ABSTRACTAnterior cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common sports injuries.

Saline lakes as barriers against pollution: a multidisciplinary overview
Authors: Nicolás Valiente , Jirsa Franz , Gómez-Alday Juan José
Published: January 2022

Saline lakes are subject to numerous environmental impacts closely related to human activities, including mining, desiccation and pollution. These lakes are mostly located in arid and semi-arid regions located in endorheic basins, which combined with the low precipitation and high evaporation rates typical for these regions, may lead to the accumulation of pollutants. Saline lakes are polluted mainly through inputs of agricultural wastewater along with organic and inorganic wastes from domestic and industrial sources. The excessive anthropogenic loading of nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), can result in eutrophication of these ecosystems. Here, the importance of pollution in saline lakes was assessed, placing special emphasis on N pollution and its attenuation in aquatic interfaces. Two main interfaces are present in saline lakes: (1) the sediment-water interface; (2) the freshwater-saltwater interface. While the former is the most important one for microbial turnover, the latter plays also a key role in pollution attenuation based on solute transport by density-driven flows. The study of how saline lakes can attenuate N pollutants (e.g. nitrate) is a step forward in preserving the good ecological status of these ecosystems. This work highlights the need of integrating a wide range of techniques from different disciplines such as limnology, hydrogeology, geochemistry or microbial ecology for such studies. The effective application of conservation policies by managers will depend on the degree of knowledge of these systems.

This paper also describes some aspects of the analysed term’s formation, in particular a wide range of this term’s variants introduced into scientific parlancein in Slavistics.
“BRANDING” OF THE WORLD: A SOCIO-CULTURAL ANALYSIS OF HUMAN PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD
Authors: Jankowski Stepan
Published: January 2022

A specific feature of the modern world is the capitalization of not only ideas, objects, social practices and institutions, but of the world itself. Branding is a special process, allowing the construction of an acceptable picture of reality that is independent of the practices of care and political domination. It initially focuses on a desired and expected target. The main topic of the present research is the phenomenon of the “Big Bang” in the cultural and social field. The analysis of transformation of scientific theory into a metaphor of sociocultural reality enables us to trace the mechanism of symbolic creation in modern society. Its study contributes to revealing the peculiarities in redistribution of symbolic capital as well as benefits and privileges that a «world-brand» has in comparison with “world-pictures”, “world views” and other forms of symbolic capital. The “world-brand” as a result of symbolic creation in the cultures of post-industrial civilization can be represented in the explicit parameters.
UKRAINIAN LOCAL CHURCH: REALITIES OF THE PROCLAMATION AND PROSPECTS
Authors: Kobetіak Andrii
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the process of formation of the newly formed Local Ukrainian Church at the present stage. It is determined that the institutional design of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine takes place in a multi-religious environment. Therefore, the article predicts that today in Ukraine, there is no reason to talk about the United Church in the future. It is determined that the Ukrainian church issue is a kind of watershed in terms of the main controversial issues that have troubled the Ecumenical Church in recent centuries. Therefore, it has been proved that the settlement of the Ukrainian question is of great importance not only for the Orthodox believers of Ukraine, but also for the whole Orthodoxy. Most countries that have received autocephaly in our time have been waiting for decades for world recognition of their own church. Therefore, the recognition of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine by only a part of the Local Churches is a natural process. It is established that autocephaly in modern conditions of society development and hybrid war is a vital condition for the country's survival. It has been studied that in modern conditions the Kyiv Church has received a great credit of trust in the eyes of the Ecumenical Patriarch. The consolidated Kyiv metropolitanate may become the largest national Orthodox church in the world, which will significantly change the balance in the structure of the Universal Orthodoxy.

Present the criteria for coherent water for experimentally prepared using distilled water (KGD) and natural drinking water (KGP). According to the data presented, it can be seen that, according to the predominant features of the experimental water samples, the properties of the following coherence types are inherent in them: water from source 1 – coherent levorotatory 1st and 3rd degrees of coherence (52% and 17% of signs, respectively); water from the source 26 – coherent both types of direction, more levorotatory 1st degree (42% of signs) and dextrorotatory 1st degree (17%); water from source 10 (pump room) – coherent of both types of direction, more dextrorotatory, mainly with the 1st degree of coherence (46%), and the presence of levorotatory coherence of the 1st (21%) and 3rd degrees (21%). The presented results of biological growth demonstrate their differences among themselves, as well as the established properties of experimental water samples in terms of its coherence properties. It is necessary to further develop the direction of studying fine-material processes in water by the method of kirlianphotography with the development of an automated analysis of kirlianograms.

Bipartite patella is usually an asymptomatic entity. In adults, the incidence is between 0.2% to 6% and only 2% of these is symptomatic. Bipartite patella may cause anterior knee pain, the gold standard treatment is conservative, and the surgical treatment is reserved when the conservative treatment fails. The authors present an atypical clinical presentation of bipartite patella. Because this is a clinical entity that is often underdiagnosed, the subject in question is of paramount importance. The orthopedic community should include this entity in the differential diagnosis of anterior knee pain, and it is important to define guidelines for its diagnosis and treatment.

Thalassemias are the most common inherited monogenic diseases worldwide. α-thalassemia is caused by the absence or decreased production of α-globin chains. The diagnosis of these pathologies is not always made as early as it should be, so there are cases of hemoglobinopathies diagnosed accidentally or when the symptoms appeared. A 13-year-old MSCV had a Sports Medicine appointment due to an episode of syncope during training. The entire cardiac study had no significant changes. In the blood count microcytosis was detected, which already existed in previous analytical studies. In the molecular study the alteration compatible with the diagnosis of α-thalassemia was detected. It is necessary to take a closer look at values on the blood count that are repeatedly altered. Asymptomatic carriers have clinical manifestations that are fruitful or even non-existent.

It Takes the Entire Healthcare World to End a Pandemic
Authors: Kilipiris Evangelos
Published: January 2022

The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and the disease it causes, COVID-19, have driven the entire interconnected world for perhaps the first time in modern history to focus on solving a single problem. Globally, two years within this pandemic, physicians, scientists, healthcare leaders, governments, and citizens seek answers to a threat whose entire dimensions remain largely unknown. Experts are working together inside and outside hospitals, laboratories, and healthcare facilities to find the interventions that might best address the current health crisis. This outbreak has demonstrated in real-time how the mobilization of a global health crisis coalition can serve the global public good. Every medical specialty has something to give and something to gain in searching for answers to these burning questions. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons worldwide routinely share information and collaborate across borders.
But all of this is not new. Because, as impressive as this progress is, the world needs more and faster action.
Indian Electricity System Transition and Its Challenges: A Review
Authors: Balasubramanian S , Balachandra P
Published: January 2022

Climate change concerns, resource constraints on conventional energy sources, ever-increasing electricity demand with new loads on the consumer side, improving electricity access, and the new challenge of matching dynamic energy resources with dynamic demand have forced the transitions in electricity systems worldwide. The Indian electricity system is undergoing significant transitions concerning all segments, viz., electricity generation, transmission & distribution, and demand-side to manage such challenges. These transitions throw numerous challenges in technical, economic, social, and policy dimensions. This paper tries to elucidate these transitions and associated challenges in the Indian electricity system. The overall goal of the paper is to present such an understanding of these transitions to introduce appropriate interventions for the effective operation of future electricity systems. The electricity sector has a cardinal role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. Only a sustainable electricity system can cater to the needs of the people. It can be concluded that the electricity sector's transition is inevitable, and it is eternal.

Large scale land-based investments have a significant impact on natural resources and environmental conditions. It is necessary to protect areas of high conservation value (HCV) within land management investments, such as the mining sector, to minimise this impact. The existence of high conservation value sites in locations with activities related to the mining sector is intended to maintain the ecological and conservation value of a mining investment area. We demonstrate a model that can identify potential high conservation value sites in mining areas using remote sensing data and spatial analysis compiled with field observation data. The research was conducted in one of the largest nickel mining areas (71,047 ha) in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. We mapped vegetation density using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), calculated from Sentinel-2 imagery. We also collected biodiversity data in predetermined inventory sampling plots, which we then used to estimate species richness using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index. Using a linear regression model to compare the normalized difference vegetation index value in each sampling plot with the biodiversity value of flora and fauna, we then estimated biodiversity distribution patterns for the entire study area. We found that potential high conservation value areas (areas likely to have high biodiversity based on our regression model) covered 40,000 ha, more than half of the total concession area.
