Machine Learning-Based Damage Diagnosis in Floating Wind Turbines Using Vibration Signals: A Lab-Scale Study Under Different Wind Speeds and Directions
Authors: Korolis John S. , Bourdalos Dimitrios M. , Sakellariou John S.
Published: February 2025

Floating wind turbines (FWTs) operate in offshore environments under harsh and varying operating conditions, making frequent in situ monitoring dangerous for maintenance teams and costly for operators. Remote and automated diagnosis, including the stages of detection, identification, and severity characterization of early stage damages in FWTs through advanced vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) methods of the machine learning (ML) type, is evidently critical for timely repairs, extending their operational lifecycle, reducing maintenance costs, and enhancing safety. This study investigates, for the first time, the complete (all stages) damage diagnosis problem by employing well-established ML SHM methods and conducting hundreds of experiments on a lab-scale FWT model operating under different wind speeds and directions, both in healthy and damaged states. The latter include two distinct blade cracks of limited length, two added masses attached to the blade edge simulating possible accumulation of ice, and connection degradation at the mounting of the main tower with the floater. The results indicate that the proper training of advanced ML methods using damage-sensitive feature vectors that represent the structural dynamics within the entire frequency bandwidth of measurements may achieve flawless damage diagnosis, reaching 100% success at all diagnosis stages, even when only a minimal number of vibration signals from a limited number of sensors (a single sensor in this study) are used.

This article presents a systematic review of sustainable watershed management at the international level. Based on the risk regulation approach, this review approaches the specific gaps in the literature related to relevant issues outlining the international freshwater resources socio-environmental regulation issue, especially in regards to its sociological dimensions: the organizational capabilities of agents involved in regulatory efforts, issue-implicit challenges, and regulatory effort-generated socio-environmental risks. The study identifies the reflexive components of the involved institutions, outlines the deployment of organizational processes in normative regulatory components, and explores the modalities for addressing change and complexity in the regulatory field. A corpus of 64 articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases between 2021 and 2024 was analyzed, and the following findings are demonstrated: (1) regulatory requirements emerge across the three dimensions due to sociological factors, with the need for broad-ranging coordination capacities and socio-technical improvements highlighted, (2) while high political–technical capacities are exhibited by regulatory agents in the field of study, significant regulatory challenges persist, complicating the sustainable management of watersheds, and (3) decision-making based on socio-environmental risks is deemed feasible within the field of study, enabling advancements in techno-scientific and socio-political areas, although achieving this is considered challenging. It is concluded that sustainable watershed management can be better understood when the risk-based approach is used as an explanatory framework, particularly in priority areas for addressing—and regulating—the global and local dilemmas involved in governing water resources. As this field has been scarcely examined from this perspective, a series of potential research avenues with substantial scope are faced by the social sciences. Socio-environmental challenges related to water should be rigorously analyzed in future studies through innovative approaches, with the social components of the issue prioritized.

Published: February 2025

The carbon stock in terrestrial ecosystems is closely linked to changes in land use. Understanding how land use alterations affect regional carbon stocks is essential for maintaining the carbon balance of ecosystems. This research leverages land use and driving factor data spanning from 2000 to 2020, utilizing the Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model alongside the InVEST ecosystem services model to examine the temporal and spatial changes in carbon storage across Beijing. Additionally, four future scenes for 2030—urban development, natural development, cropland protection, as well as eco-protection—are explored, with the PLUS and InVEST models employed to emulate dynamic land use changes and the corresponding carbon stock variations. The results show that the following: (1) Between 2000 and 2020, changes in land use resulted in a significant decline in carbon storage, with a total reduction of 1.04 × 107 tons. (2) From 2000 to 2020, agricultural, forest, and grassland areas in Beijing all declined to varying extents, while built-up land expanded by 1292.04 km2 (7.88%), with minimal changes observed in water bodies or barren lands. (3) Compared to the carbon storage distribution in 2020, carbon storage in the 2030 urban development scenario decreased by 6.99 × 106 tons, highlighting the impact of rapid urbanization and the expansion of built-up areas on the decline in carbon storage. (4) In the ecological protection scenario, the optimization of land use structure resulted in an increase of 6.01 × 105 tons in carbon storage, indicating that the land use allocation in this scenario contributes to the restoration of carbon storage and enhances the carbon sink capacity of the urban ecosystem. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers in optimizing ecosystem carbon storage from a land use perspective and offers essential guidance for the achievement of the “dual carbon” strategic objectives.

Published: February 2025

Water scarcity has emerged as a critical constraint on agricultural development and food security worldwide, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions such as Central Asia, Western Asia, and North Africa, which are part of the “Belt and Road” Initiative. This study, based on a global multi-regional input–output model, quantitatively analyzes the virtual water flows between China and countries along the “Belt and Road”. It focuses on water-scarce regions, examining the impact of virtual water trade on agricultural resource pressures and food security, as well as the transfer of water resources in trade patterns. The findings indicate that virtual water trade, as an innovative water resource management strategy, can redistribute water resources through international trade, thereby alleviating water stress and enhancing food security in water-scarce areas. Despite China’s status as a net importer in virtual water trade with “Belt and Road” countries, the majority of virtual water flows toward nations with relatively abundant water resources, rather than to the most water-deficient areas. This discovery reveals imbalances in virtual water trade patterns, suggesting that current trade models do not effectively alleviate water and food security pressures in water-scarce regions. The “Belt and Road” mechanism should provide new ideas for solving the huge gap between virtual water theory and reality. In response, this paper proposes optimizing trade structures, strengthening agricultural water resource management, promoting green virtual water trade, fostering regional cooperation, improving data quality and transparency, encouraging agricultural diversification, and increasing investment in water-saving agricultural technologies.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: To assess the elasticity values in breast tissues using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and examine the association between elasticity values of invasive breast cancer with prognostic factors and the pathologic response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST). Methods: A total of 57 patients (mean age, 54.1 years) with invasive breast cancers larger than 2 cm in diameter on ultrasound were prospectively enrolled. The elasticity values (mean, minimum, and maximum) of invasive breast cancers, normal fibroglandular tissues, and normal fat tissues were measured via MRE using a commercially available acoustic driver and compared. Elasticity values of breast cancers were compared according to prognostic factors and pathologic responses in patients who received NST before surgery. Receiver operating curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of elasticity values in terms of pathological response. Results: Among the 57 patients, the mean elasticity value of invasive breast cancers was significantly higher than that of normal fibroglandular tissue and normal fat tissue (7.90 ± 5.80 kPa vs. 2.54 ± 0.80 kPa vs. 1.32 ± 0.33 kPa, all ps < 0.001). Invasive breast cancers with a large diameter (>4 cm) exhibited significantly higher mean elasticity values relative to tumors with a small diameter (≤4 cm) (11.65 ± 7.22 kPa vs. 5.87 ± 3.58 kPa, p = 0.002). Among 24 patients who received NST, mean, minimum, and maximum elasticity values significantly differed between the pathologic complete response (pCR) and non-pCR groups (all ps < 0.05). For the mean elasticity value, the area under the curve value for distinguishing pCR and non-pCR groups was 0.880 (95% confidence interval, 0.682, 0.976; p < 0.001). Conclusions: The elasticity values of invasive breast cancers measured via breast MRE showed a positive correlation with tumor size and showed potential in predicting the therapeutic response in patients receiving NST.
How Do Tourism and Environmental Theories Intersect?
Authors: Menegaki Angeliki N.
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the intersection of tourism and environmental theories, highlighting how sustainability serves as a critical bridge between the two disciplines. Tourism theories such as Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) provide insights into destination development and tourist behavior but often lack an ecological perspective. The environmental framework, including Ecological Modernization Theory (EMT) and Common-Pool Resource (CPR) Theory, emphasizes sustainable resource management and the interconnectedness of human activities and natural systems. This paper examines common concepts such as carrying capacity, sustainable development, and behavioral insights while also identifying tensions between economic growth and environmental preservation. Case studies from Costa Rica, Hawaii, and Thailand illustrate practical applications of these theories in real-world settings, revealing how tourism can be both a threat and a tool for conservation. My paper concludes that integrating environmental impact assessment (EIA) and community-based tourism (CBT) models into tourism planning can lead to better long-term resource management. It recommends the adoption of stricter regulations on tourism development in fragile ecosystems, the implementation of eco-certifications, and the promotion of locally governed tourism initiatives. These strategies will ensure the sustainability of both tourism activities and the ecosystems on which they depend.
The Impact of Electric Currents on Majorana Dark Matter at Freeze Out
Authors: Karoly Lukas , Latimer David C.
Published: February 2025

Thermal relics with masses in the GeV to TeV range remain possible candidates for the Universe’s dark matter (DM). These neutral particles are often assumed to have vanishing electric and magnetic dipole moments so that they do not interact with single real photons, but the anapole moment, a static electromagnetic property whose features are akin to that of a classical toroidal solenoid, can still be non-zero, permitting interactions with single virtual photons. In some models, DM predominantly annihilates into charged standard model particles through a p-wave process mediated by the anapole moment. The anapole moment is also responsible for another interaction of interest. If a DM medium were subjected to an electric current, a DM particle whose anapole moment was aligned with the current would have lower energy than the state with an antialigned anapole moment. Given these interactions, if a collection of initially unpolarized DM particles were subjected to an electric current, then the DM medium would become partially polarized, according to the Boltzmann distribution. In such a polarized medium, DM annihilation into photons, a subdominant s-wave process realizable through higher order interactions, would be somewhat suppressed. If the local electric current existed during a time in which the DM begins to drop out of thermal equilibrium with the rest of the Universe, the suppressed annihilation could lead to a small local excess in the relic DM density relative to a current-free region. This mechanism by which the local DM density can be perturbed is novel. Using effective interactions to model a DM particle’s anapole moment and polarizabilities (responsible for s-wave annihilation into two photons), we compute the changes in the DM density produced by long- and short-lived currents around freeze out. If we employ the most stringent constraints on DM annihilation into two photons, we find that long-lived currents can result in a fractional change in the DM density on the order of 10−17 for DM masses around 100 GeV; for short-lived currents, this fractional change in local DM density is on the order of 10−23 for the same DM mass.

Published: February 2025

As urban environments pose significant challenges to people of all ages and abilities, ensuring equal accessibility is essential for achieving social inclusion in cities. Authors claim that universal design, initially developed to assist people with disabilities, can also benefit older adults. Despite common assumptions, there is limited evidence to support this claim. This study examines whether the urban mobility needs of people with disabilities (physical, sensory, and cognitive) align with those of older adults, both with regular physiological ageing or age-related diseases. Using an integrative review methodology, this study synthesized 56 references on urban mobility measures and 121 references on the specific urban requirements and mobility profiles for both groups and subgroups. The findings reveal significant overlaps in the mobility requirements of people with disabilities and older adults, particularly regarding inclusive features such as barrier-free crossings, intermediate seating, noise reduction, and improved wayfinding. These measures benefit both groups, with universal design strategies supporting the mobility of people with disabilities while also addressing the needs of the ageing population, which is rapidly increasing. The findings offer valuable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and designers to create inclusive, accessible, and high-quality urban spaces that support people of all ages and abilities.

The Mayaro virus (MAYV), Togaviridae family, genus Alphavirus, has caused several sporadic outbreaks, affecting countries in the Americas. Currently, there are no licensed drugs against MAYV, requiring the search for effective antiviral compounds. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the antiviral potential of polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) against MAYV infection, in vitro. Antiviral assays against MAYV were performed in BHK-21 and Vero E6 cells. In addition, molecular docking was performed with EGCG and the MAYV non-structural and structural proteins. EGCG showed a significant protective effect against MAYV infection in both cell lines. The virucidal assay showed an effect on extracellular viral particles at the entry stage into BHK-21 cells. Finally, it also showed significant inhibition in the post-entry stages of the MAYV replication cycle, acting on the replication of the genetic material and late stages, such as assembly and release. In addition, the MAYV proteins E1 and nsP1 were significantly inhibited by the EGCG treatment in BHK-21 cells. Molecular docking analysis also showed that EGCG could interact with MAYV Capsid and Envelope proteins (E1 and E2). Therefore, this study shows the potential of EGCG as a promising antiviral against MAYV, as it acts on different stages of the MAYV replication cycle.

Published: February 2025

Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are structural anomalies present at birth, resulting from aberrant embryonic development. In veterinary medicine, CHDs are an important reason for disease and death in both dogs and cats. Their prevalence varies across species and breeds, with certain defects being more common in specific breeds due to genetic predisposition. In this article, we will focus specifically on cor triatriatum dexter (CTD), an uncommon congenital defect that involves the division of the right atrium into two chambers by a fibromuscular membrane. This malformation can have serious consequences, depending on the severity of the obstruction created by the membrane, and the presence of the often-associated congenital anomalies. It can range from mild, clinically silent anomalies to severe defects that result in heart failure, cyanosis, or sudden death. The present review aims to (i) explore the pathophysiology of CTD in dogs; (ii) outline the clinical scenario underlying the increased interest in CHDs by overviewing the evolution of appropriate diagnostic techniques and the treatment options available; and (iii) provide a discussion from a medical–legal and ethical point of view.

Published: February 2025

Early socialization and appropriate adoption time are key factors in shaping canine behavior and welfare. Stress and behavioral challenges are major concerns for owners, often leading to abandonment. Stress can be assessed through physiological and behavioral indicators, with behavior being a noninvasive and practical measure. Canine development includes critical sensitive periods, particularly the socialization phase (3–12 weeks), when puppies form primary social bonds and adapt to novel stimuli. Lack of positive experiences during this period can lead to adult behavioral problems like fear, aggression, or anxiety. This study analyzed the behaviors of 107 dogs adopted at different ages (≤1 month to ≥4 months) and from varied origin contexts (shelters, breeders, private). Using the validated C-BARQ tool, the research found that the age at adoption significantly influenced behavior, with puppies adopted ≤1 or ≤2 months showing higher behavioral signs of fear, anxiety, and attachment and attention-seeking tendencies compared to those adopted later. The findings highlight the importance of socialization and appropriate adoption timing to prevent behavioral issues. The study underscores the value of educating owners and shelters about expected behavioral changes and the benefits of professional behavioral assessments. By fostering realistic expectations and proactive interventions, these insights aim to improve canine welfare and reduce abandonment rates.

Published: February 2025

Canine hepatozoonosis, a disease caused by the protozoan Hepatozoon canis and Hepatozoon americanum, represents a significant tick-borne disease affecting domestic and wild carnivores. The objective of this study was to detect Hepatozoon species in randomly selected dogs from Aydın by PCR and to elucidate their molecular characterization and phylogenetic differences through sequence analysis. In total, 100 blood samples collected from dogs were analyzed, and the prevalence of Hepatozoon DNA was determined to be 3%, with only three samples testing positive. Partial sequences of the 18S rRNA gene exhibited 100% similarity with corresponding H. canis isolates. Phylogenetic analysis of the 18S rRNA gene region revealed the formation of two primary clusters, one consisting of H. canis isolates and the other comprising different Hepatozoon species. While H. canis isolates formed distinct subclusters, they were all grouped separately from other Hepatozoon species. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis highlighted the presence of multiple H. canis haplotypes in Türkiye, with intraspecific nucleotide differences ranging from 0.0% to 2.9%. The nucleotide differences among the isolates identified in this study ranged from 0.0% to 1.6%. All sequences obtained in this study have been submitted to GenBank and assigned accession numbers PQ669652, PQ671331 and PQ669658. These findings underscore the need for further investigations into Hepatozoon infections among cats and wild animals in the region. Additionally, the detection of the parasite in vector ticks could offer valuable insights into the genetic diversity and distribution of circulating Hepatozoon species.

Introdução. A esclerose múltipla (EM) está associada a uma ampla gama de distúrbios comportamentais. Embora a disfunção sexual seja comum, o comportamento hipersexual é raramente relatado e tem sido frequentemente associado a comorbidades psiquiátricas. Objetivo. Realizar uma revisão sistemática dos relatos dos séculos XX e XXI sobre o comportamento hipersexual na EM. Método. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática dos relatos de casos nos séculos XX e XXI sobre comportamento hipersexual na EM. Foram analisadas referências da era da pré-neuroimagem e da literatura mais recente com neuroimagem. A pesquisa inicial no PubMed incluiu as palavras hipersexualidade, hiperlibidinismo, parafilias, distúrbios sexuais e esclerose múltipla. Resultados. Foram encontrados sete casos relatados na literatura pré-neuroimagem e dez na era da neuroimagem, e identificadas três categorias distintas de distúrbios de acordo com a predominância dos sintomas: aumento primário da libido, desinibição e doença generalizada. A análise das lesões a partir dos estudos de neuroimagem e autópsia revelou doença do lobo frontal, periventricular e generalizada na maioria dos casos. Casos de doença disseminada apresentaram mudança abrupta do comportamento sexual e menor idade de início do acometimento. Conclusão. Em resumo, comportamento hipersexual em pacientes com EM podem ser categorizados em grupos dependendo dos sintomas e local anatômico das placas. A revisão da literatura revelou frequentemente casos com manifestações neurocomportamentais graves. O espectro leve a moderado de mudanças comportamentais pode ser subnotificado devido ao estigma social.

Treatment of c-MET Antibody-Drug Conjugate Asymptomatic Pneumonitis with a Novel Steroid Regimen in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report
Authors: Fox Daniel A. , Tran Christine , Blot Vincent , Hong David S.
Published: February 2025

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a potent class of antineoplastic drugs that deliver cytotoxic agents via targeting with monoclonal antibodies; however, ADCs are associated with high rates of lung toxicities, limiting the therapeutic potential in many patients. We report a case of a patient with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer taking the ADC telisotuzumab vedotin (Teliso V) plus osimtertinib who developed ADC-induced pneumonitis despite clinical benefit. This patient was able to tolerate treatment for a prolonged period on a novel steroid regimen, using steroids when pneumonitis was asymptomatic but radiologically evident and as a daily suppressant. This treatment strategy may have implications in the broader management of ADC–interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis and underscores its potential mechanisms.
Some Perspectives on the Impact of Disciplinary Procedures on Academic Freedom in State Universities in Zimbabwe
Authors: Kasuso Tapiwa G , Manyatera Gift
Published: February 2025

The administration of workplace discipline for employees of higher education institutions (HEIs) has always provided a key indicator of HEIs’ respect for and promotion of fundamental rights. Corollary to this, the mechanisms for disciplining employees at state universities necessarily impact directly or indirectly on academic freedom. Consequently, fairness of the disciplinary process appears to be the key to guaranteeing academic freedom in state universities in Zimbabwe. In recognition of the challenges associated with employer-employee relations, Zimbabwe enacted the Amendment of State Universities Statutes Act 4 of 2022. The Amendment Act seeks to align with the Constitution all the 14 Acts of parliament establishing state universities in Zimbabwe.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALTRUISM AND WHISTLE BLOWING INTENTIONS AMONG EMPLOYEES IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN KENYA
Authors: Dr. Meshack K. Katam
Published: February 2025

Whistle blowing is essential to organizations as it helps to expose wrongdoings or behaviors which if left, may degenerate to unethical actions that may further bring about loss of property or damage reputation. Even though whistle blowing in Kenyan public universities is rare, some surveys have illustrated instances of whistle blowing from both members of the public and administrators. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between altruism and whistle blowing intentions among employees in public universities in Kenya. The study was anchored on Prosocial Behavior. The study adopted a positivist research philosophy and correlational research design. The research utilized questionnaires as the tool in the collection of primary data. The reliability was examined using the Cronbach Alpha coefficient where an average of 0.85 was obtained from study parameters for internal consistency. Descriptive statistics were obtained using frequencies and percentages and multivariate linear regression was used to determine the factors that were associated with whistle blowing intentions among employees in public Universities in Kenya. The target population was 30,818 employees from public university in Kenya. A sample size of 395 respondents was obtained using Yamane formulae. Proportionate sampling was used to obtain the number of respondents in each university and simple random sampling was used to select respondents to fill the questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were analyzed in form of Mean and Standard deviation while multiple linear regression model and correlation analysis were used to establish the relationships. One-unit increase in altruism was associated with an increase in whistle blowing intentions by 0.14 (R2 = 0.18, β =0.14, p-value = 0.016),
The study findings revealed that altruism, ethical values and attitude all have positive and significant relationships with whistle blowing intentions and organizational support moderates the relationship. The study recommends that universities need to formulate policies which take into account gender differences, put in place mechanisms of identifying altruists who will promote whistle blowing, continuous sensitization of employees on whistle blowing intentions, need to create a positive culture and finally develop policies that ensures protection of whistleblowers. The study may be beneficial to Universities, Academia and also Government.
