THE UKRAINIAN REGION’S LOGISTICS POTENTIAL DUE TO MODERN SECURITY CHALLENGES
Authors: Вербицький Вадим , Ширяєва Людмила
Published: February 2025

The paper deals with the nature of region’s logistics potential. The main elements of the region’s logistical potential were performed. The authors note, that Odesa region plays a crucial role in international trade and logistics, but modern security challenges significantly disrupt its operations. For today, these challenges serve as a catalyst for transforming the Odesa region's logistics. Key threats include military conflicts, mine contamination, port blockades, economic sanctions, terrorism, and piracy. These risks hinder maritime traffic, increase logistical challenges, and necessitate the development of alternative sea routes. Ongoing conflicts in the Black Sea, including missile strikes and minefields, compel redirection of cargo to river ports like Izmail and Reni, alongside multimodal routes combining rail, road, and sea transport. The authors emphasize that economic pressures, such as rising insurance costs and tariffs, drive companies to adapt its logistics strategies. Geopolitical shifts also open opportunities for integrating the region into global transport networks by enhancing infrastructure and diversifying trade partners.

Published: February 2025

У сучасних умовах, коли Україна стикається з численними атаками на енергосистему та втратами маневрової генерації, трансформація критичної енергетичної інфраструктури та зелений її перехід набуває особливого значення. Необхідно враховувати географічний потенціал та різні енергетичні потреби у державі, адже більшість об’єктів відновлюваної енергетики була побудована на півдні України. Пріоритетним завданням стає розвиток відновлюваної енергетики в енергодефіцитних регіонах та забезпечення ефективної інтеграції електроенергії за допомогою інтерконекторів, що з’єднують енергосистему України з країнами-сусідами. Потребує визначення критерії для заміщення критичної інфраструктури та забезпечення стабільності енергопостачання. Враховуючи наявні виклики, дослідження цих критеріїв стає ще більш актуальним, оскільки дозволить сформувати дорожню карту відновлення та розвитку енергетики. Це сприятиме підвищенню енергетичної безпеки України, стабілізації виснаженої економіки та покращенню якості життя для населення, а також, – посиленню надійності і стійкості енергосистеми в умовах численних зовнішніх загроз.

Authors: Colmenares Flórez Ricardo Alonso , Arango Vélez Maico Estivens ,   Corporación Universitaria Americana, Ramírez Betancu Carlos Mario
Published: February 2025

El concepto de contabilidad ambiental va más allá de pensar en el medio ambiente, es entender qué es desarrollosostenible. El presente artículo pretende comparar los principales indicadores de los países miembros de la OCDE y Colombia, que evalúan las tres dimensiones del desarrollo sostenible: viabilidad económica, políticas que protejan el medio ambiente y equidad social. Todo esto desarrollado bajo el estudio aplicando instrumentos cualitativos tales como la documentación e informes realizados por entidades gubernamentales y no gubernamentales. Sin perder de vista la cuestión de investigación descriptiva / interpretativa. Actualmente, Colombia le apuesta ser miembro de la OCDE y es ahí donde el Plan Nacional de Desarrollo cumple un papel fundamental, adoptando medidas necesarias que apunten a alcanzar los indicadores propuestos. Dentro del análisis realizado, se alcanza a evidenciar que Colombia se encuentra por fuera de los rangos promedios en los indicadores tomados, siendo un gran reto para el país poder mejorarlos.

Como resultado de las acciones propuestas por la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (ocde) en materia de “erosión de la base imponible y traslado de beneficios”, o identificadas en inglés como Base erosion and profit shifting, conocidas por sus siglas como beps, México, y otros países de Europa han integrado a su legislación fiscal diversas disposiciones jurídicas. Las acciones beps son 15 y enfocadas en proporcionar a los países instrumentos nacionales e internacionales que alineen mejor la potestad tributaria de los países miembros de la ocde y del G-20 con las actividades económicas que realizan las empresas a fin de garantizar que los beneficios, empresariales, se graven donde se realizan las actividades económicas que les generan y crean valor. Así mismo señalan plazos para implementar estas acciones y establecen los recursos y la metodología inherente. Entre las acciones que sugiere la ocde se encuentra la referente a cómo abordar los retos de la imposición de la economía digital. Precisamente, la Acción 1 beps se ocupa de esta cuestión. El artículo analiza el cumplimiento de la Acción 1 beps en la legislación fiscal federal mexicana a partir de 2020, y muestrando aspectos que deben legislarse para considerarla cumplida.
There is no such thing as an herbivore: incidental and intentional ingestion profoundly affects both herbivores and plant-dwelling invertebrates.
Authors: Lopresti Eric , LoPresti Eric
Published: February 2025

Real-life ‘herbivores’ are not the herbivores of our simplistic ecological and behavioral models – real-life herbivores constantly consume other organisms both incidentally and intentionally, with the ‘prey’ usually consisting of plant-dwelling arthropods, smaller invertebrates, and carrion. A remarkable amount of disparate literature has amassed on these phenomena, yet the implications of these interactions are rarely considered, despite their potential importance. Here I argue that to fully understand behavior, morphology, and coloration of insect-dwelling arthropods, as well as of that of ‘large’ herbivores (whether arthropod or vertebrate), these important interactions must be considered. This perspective has two aims. The most important is to encourage researchers working on herbivores and plant-dwelling invertebrates to think more broadly about what is ingested, and what is not ingested, and why. The second is to propose several hypotheses about these interactions shape the morphology, behavior, and chemistry of these organisms. Specifically, I propose that aposematic and masquerade phenotypes, escape behaviors, feeding and pupation location, survival of gut passage, and aggregative behaviors, most of which are thought to be driven by predators, may be also driven by incidental ingestion. Lastly, to draw attention to the role that inclusion of animal food into a phytophagous diet may play in niche space, competitive interactions, and organismal nutrition. I ultimately hope this perspective encourages many creative new lines of research on the broadened phenomenon of ‘herbivory’.
Sustainability Performance Commitment and Market Liquidity
Authors: Maina Purity
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of voluntary commitments to the Sustainable Stock Exchange Initiative (SSEI) on market liquidity within African Security Exchanges amid an increasing global focus on sustainability in capital markets. While adopting the event study methodology, the study utilised the Paired T-test and the two-way fixed effect panel model to analyse the short- and medium-term market liquidity effects of 13 Security Exchanges. The findings revealed significant short-term market liquidity improvements, which diminished over time. These results highlight the importance of policy recommendations that offer insights for security exchange policymakers as they adapt to sustainability dynamics and strive to enhance market performance. The study suggests that exchanges adopt concrete strategies to maintain market liquidity improvements, such as incentivisation schemes for listed companies to enhance their long-term sustainability performance and comprehensive measures addressing other underlying factors influencing market liquidity. Further, security exchanges should continue developing investor education programs on sustainability to enhance awareness and implement more sustainable initiatives to enhance investor confidence and meet the growing demand for responsible investment.

Authors: Bujáki János
Published: February 2025

SMEs are under-researched in Europe, micro-sized enterprises are often even ignored in surveys. However, their contribution to GDP, employment, and balance of trade is beyond all dispute. A qualitative research has been conducted among micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Informants involved in the research were owner managers of companies various in terms of profile, age, and location within Hungary. Interviewed entrepreneurs named some common difficulties and hindering factors, as well as few specific trends supporting their business. Their perception of business environment, practice of planning, access to external funds, and level of digital readiness have been investigated. Outcomes of the study demonstrated the value of face to face semi-structured interviews with Informants of confidential relationship as well as served additional objective with the research, that is, to better establish and design a future quantative study. This paper was also aimed to contribute to the SME/MSME research in Europe due to their significance in national economies detailed in the study. Findings are partially in line with those of previous studies in international literature.
Millets: A Key Player in Sustainable Food Systems - Leveraging the Year of Millets for Research and Development
Authors: Park Sungyeon , Ágoston Temesi
Published: February 2025

The paper brings a general picture of millets in the world, where we face global challenges such as water shortage, land degradation, climate change, etc. Millet is recognized as a climate-resilient crop that can be beneficial to our environment and diversification of our diet besides main staples such as rice, corn, and wheat.
For the recognition of these important components of millets, the United Nations declared the year 2023 as “the year of millets”, and FAO as the lead agency for celebrating the Year in collaboration with other stakeholders.
The impact of this event clearly shows in the academic publication, in a broad term, academic research on millets thanks to its health and environmental benefits has grown exponentially led by India, China, the United States, and other countries. Scopus confirms this publication trend between 2000~2023 and VOS viewer bibliometric analysis reveals a prominent cluster connecting food security, climate change, and millet with other keywords.
Although in Europe millets were planted for centuries ago, the consumption and production or even awareness of it have been relatively low, which means more research and development needs to be encouraged and the promotion of health and environmental benefits to consumers needs to be supported by the private and public sectors.
Improving follow-up care for people after minor stroke using early personalised care: A protocol for a randomised, mixed-methods, feasibility study.
Authors: Crow Jennifer , Watt Hilary , Wells Mary , Malhotra Paresh
Published: February 2025

Background Of the 150 000 people per year in the UK who have strokes, third to half will experience a so-called ‘minor stroke’. Although appearing benign these strokes put a person at increased risk of further strokes and survivors are usually considered ‘too good’ for referral onto community stroke services. When back at home the hidden effects of stroke like fatigue and changes in mood and cognition become apparent and impact return to work, relationships and everyday activities. Alongside this, managing the risk of recurrence, highest early after an initial stroke, is a priority. People with stroke report feeling abandoned after discharge with unmet information and support needs. Methods To address this issue, we reviewed the literature, met with people with stroke and other stakeholders to develop an early, personalised follow-up programme of care for those who currently only receive routine medical follow-up appointments. The design of this complex intervention is informed by the NIHR/MRC framework for complex intervention development and the framework of action described by O’Cathain and colleagues. The intervention is underpinned by self-determination theory. We will be conducting a randomised, mixed methods, single-centre feasibility study to explore the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention. Sixty participants will be recruited from a Hyperacute Stroke Unit and Rapid Assessment Clinic and randomised to the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive personalised follow-up appointments at two- and six-weeks post-discharge. All participants will have outcome measures taken at baseline and twelve-weeks post-stroke. Patient reported outcomes will be reviewed to assess their suitability for a later definitive trial. Qualitative interviews will be conducted to gain a deeper understanding of life after stroke from those who did and did not receive the intervention. Conclusions Study findings will be used to further refine the intervention, methods and outcome measurements used. These refinements will inform a future multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Resolving the Problem of Land Ownership in Nigeria
Authors: Lewis Olayinka
Published: February 2025

This article argues that the application of customary law, which generally applies to members of indigenous tribes, alongside statutory law, which is modelled on English common law, creates tension between both legal systems in relation to the ownership of land in Nigeria. The article identifies legal pluralism as the main cause of this tension. It employs the use of the Volksgeist theory, a theory which considers a nation as a community of people linked together by historical, geographical and cultural ties, to explain the underpinnings of customary law and examines the legal framework on land ownership under customary law and under the Land Use Act 1978. It concludes that the existence of two legal systems on land ownership in Nigeria is unworkable and proffers ways of resolving the problem.
The competency of Children to Testify in Nigeria: A Need for Law Reform
Authors: Adebimpe Razaq Justice , Abdulazeez Hamza Okene
Published: February 2025

The impacts of the Coronavirus disease otherwise known as the Covid-19 pandemic on the human race cannot be overemphasised. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has not only led to a paradigm shift from the old order to a new norm but also increased the deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to almost all spheres of human endeavour, including the administration of justice and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Most of the measures adopted by stakeholders to fight the scourge otherwise referred to as Covid-19, protocols such as social distancing, restriction of movements, restriction of physical gatherings, travel bans and total lockdown among others, stall dispute resolution proceedings thereby affecting access to justice. Hence, Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) was adopted and applied in many jurisdictions to complement, strengthen and serve as an alternative to the conventional litigation and ADR mechanisms during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although ODR existed before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic as a dispute resolution mechanism, it was not as pronounced and widely utilised as it has been during and after the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria. This article adopts the doctrinal methodology and the qualitative approach to examine the significance and benefits of ADR and ODR mechanisms in the resolution of disputes, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world order and the administration of justice and dispute resolution mechanisms in Nigeria as well as the legal and technological responses to it. The article finds that prior to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the existing legal framework for dispute resolution in Nigeria did not make any clear and express provisions for the use of ODR, and argues that the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and advancement in ICT necessitated the application of ODR to complement and serve as an alternative to ADR mechanisms and litigation. The article concludes by suggesting legal and policy reforms for the effective application and operation of ODR in Nigeria.

The objective of this research is to describe “how the representation of liberal feminism in the character of Lady Diana in the Spencer movie.” The researcher used Liberal Feminism by Mary Wollstonecraft to analyze the data. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The source of the data in this research was taken from the movie entitled Spencer. The data was collected through watching movies repeatedly, screen-shooting and note-taking, identifying and classifying, and then analyzed by presenting, describing, and interpreting as well as concluding the analysis result. As a result of the analysis, the researcher discovered 14 data from the movie that have marginalization, subordination, and mental or physical violence. Meanwhile, there is no domestication that the character of Lady Diana founded. The data found refers to showing the struggle of the character Lady Diana in the movie against marginalization, subordination, and mental violence. Therefore, mental violence becomes the most dominant that Lady Diana faces in this movie.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an increasingly common skin condition characterized by itchy rashes in response to allergens. The most common diagnostic test involves patch testing (PT), but despite the efficacy of PT for identifying and guiding patients toward avoidance of allergens, PT alone does not elucidate the underlying biomechanistic changes which may be useful for sub-categorizing ACD further. In addition, some patients may never be able to identify their causative allergens unless they go to highly specialized ACD centers. Accordingly, this mini review attempts to summarize biomarkers that may help with identifying and sub-categorizing cases of ACD for appropriate diagnosis, especially in patients with difficult-to-identify allergens.

Enhanced Drp1 activity mediates excessive mitochondrial fission, contributing to the onset and progression of various chronic diseases, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. Studies indicate that exercise mitigates mitochondrial dysfunction by modulating Drp1-related signaling targets, thereby inhibiting Drp1 activity and reducing excessive mitochondrial fission. This, in turn, enhances mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism. This review synthesizes the current understanding of Drp1 structure and activation mechanisms, and analyzes the effects of exercise interventions on Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission in different disease models to improve common chronic conditions. This research deepens our insight into the specific mechanisms of Drp1-induced excessive mitochondrial fission in chronic disease pathogenesis, offering new theoretical support and practical guidance for exercise as a non-pharmacological intervention strategy.

This study examines the mobile news and storytelling consumption patterns of young Emiratis, employing the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT) to elucidate their motives and favored platforms. UGT asserts that individuals deliberately choose media to satisfy specific needs, emphasizing gratifications such as information, entertainment, and social interaction. The study indicates a notable trend among young Emiratis who select mobile devices for news and storytelling, with 95.3% of respondents identifying mobile phones as their primary source. Data was gathered from 400 students using self-reported surveys, supplemented by five focus group discussions consisting of six to eight students each from Al Wasl University. The findings reveal that 82.6% of participants expressed a strong interest in mobile news and storytelling. The dimension of interactivity emerged as a significant source of gratification and is strongly associated with storytelling consumption. The results underscore the considerable influence of mobile devices on the media consumption habits of young Emiratis and suggest opportunities for enhancing interactive storytelling in digital journalism.
A giant and rapid myocardial remodeling due to fatal giant cell myocarditis: a case report
Authors: Zhang Wei , Guo Tao
Published: February 2025

Giant cell myocarditis is a rare and rapidly progressive disease with a high mortality rate. We present the case of a 21-year-old male without a medical history who presented with a giant left ventricle (9.9 cm, EF:10%) and in a severe clinical state. Cardiac MRI and virology raised the suspicion of giant cell myocarditis. Concerned about the hemodynamic and respiratory deterioration, we initiated cardiac transplant therapy. A fatal ventricular fibrillation occurs while waiting for the heart transplant. Sudden death could represent the “first symptom” of pathological findings. It is important to recognize that while sudden death due to giant cell myocarditis may be rare, it is still a potentially serious complication of giant cell infection and should be considered in cases of unexplained sudden death. In addition, this case highlights the challenges in the diagnosis and management of giant cell myocarditis and the need for early recognition and aggressive treatment.
Bone mineral density and sex hormone binding globulin as potential mediators of the causal effect of urolithiasis on osteoporosis risk: a Mendelian randomization

Objective

Osteoporosis (OP) and urolithiasis (UL) are two metabolic diseases that are prevalent globally. Previous observational studies have found a relationship between these two diseases that increases the risk of each other, but whether there is a direct causal link is still unclear. Currently, research on the mechanisms of these two diseases mainly focuses on external factors such as diet and environment. Thus, this study used two-sample mendelian randomization (TS-MR) in conjunction with mediation analysis to explore the causal relationship between OP and UL and their potential mechanisms. Mediators included total body bone mineral density (T-BMD), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (serum 25(OH)D) levels, and calcium supplements.

Method

We acquired UL-related and BMD-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the MRC IEU Open Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) database. The primary SNPs data of osteoporosis were from the FinnGen database. To clarify the mediators involved in the link between OP and UL, we performed a MR investigation. The primary approach to analysis was inverse variance weighting (IVW). In addition, we also used another osteoporosis data from UK biobank (UKB) to further verify the mediating role.

Results

We discovered that there was a 14% increase in the incidence of OP in UL patients using the IVW approach. (FinnGen: OR = 1.1491,95% CI: 1.0544-1.2523; UKB: OR = 1.1339,95% CI: 1.0266-1.2523). Among different age groups, except for the 15-45 age group, we observed that UL increased the risk of low bone mineral density. Similarly, consistent results were also observed in bone mineral density at different sites. Mediation analysis showed that 50% of the effect of UL on OP was mediated by BMD levels (FinnGen:49.68%; UKB:56.45%). In addition, we also observed an important mediating effect between sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) on UL and an increased risk of OP, but with a lower proportion of mediators (FinnGen:2.406%; UKB:2.595%). Furthermore, we also found decreased serum 25 (OH) D levels in UL patients, but not its mediating effect.

Conclusions

In conclusion, the study establishes a direct causal link between urolithiasis and OP, independent of environmental factors. Furthermore, mediation analysis showed that bone density and SHBG levels partially mediated the risk of OP in UL patients, suggesting that both mediators may be involved in the mechanism of UL-induced OP. These findings broaden the understanding of the link between the UL and the OP. Thus, regardless of lifestyle, urolithiasis patients should remain vigilant about the risk of OP and consider regular OP screening.
Development of a multi-epitope vaccine candidate to combat SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus co-infection through an immunoinformatic approach

Published: February 2025

Background

Although the SARS-CoV-2 and dengue viruses seriously endanger human health, there is presently no vaccine that can stop a person from contracting both viruses at the same time. In this study, four antigens from SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus were tested for immunogenicity, antigenicity, allergenicity, and toxicity and chosen to predict dominant T- and B-cell epitopes.

Methods

For designing a multi-epitope vaccine, the sequences were retrieved, and using bioinformatics and immunoinformatics, the physicochemical and immunological properties, as well as secondary structures, of the vaccine were predicted and studied. Additionally, the three-dimensional structure was estimated, improved upon, and confirmed using bioinformatics methods before being docked with TLR-2 and TLR-4. Eight helper T-cell lymphocyte (HTL) epitopes, ten cytotoxic T-cell lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes, nine B-cell epitopes, and TLR agonists were used to create a new multi-epitope vaccine. Furthermore, according to the immunological stimulation hypothesis, the vaccine could stimulate T and B cells to create large quantities of Th1 cytokines and antibodies.

Results

The study indicates that the developed vaccine is a favorable vaccine candidate with antigenicity, immunogenicity, non-toxicity, and non-allergenicity properties. The vaccine construct was made up of 460 amino acids, had an MW of 49391.51 Da, a theoretical pI of 9.86, and the formula C2203H3433N643O618S18, a lipid index of 39.84, a GRAVY of −0.473, an aliphatic index of 63.80, and an instability index of 39.84, which classifies the protein to be stable.

Conclusion

The acquired data showed that both vaccine designs had a considerable chance of preventing the co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus and that they demonstrate good results following in-silico testing. Furthermore, the vaccine may be an effective strategy in preventing SARS-CoV-2 and dengue since it can cause noticeably high levels of Th1 cytokines and antibodies.
