The 0.6% contribution of the forestry sector to GDP is considered very low despite 64.1% of Indonesia's land area being allocated as forests. Most of the 64.8% production forest allocated is not yet optimized for strengthening national food security, in which Indonesia is ranked 65th in the world. Therefore, an innovative forest management system is needed to synergize timber and non-timber production. This paper presents a multi-business forestry (Mb-F) implementation strategy analyzed through a dynamic system-based multi-criterion decision-making tool named Super Model Mb-F (SM Mb-F). SM Mb-F is built based on a causal loop diagram (CLD), which describes the dynamic relationship between land typology suitability and decisions related to the type of business, commodities, land use area, workload, and financing for many variables relating to 5M business principles and sustainability. Results showed that CLD formulated in 280 sub-models in a total of 4,764 decision variables with an error deviation of 6.4%. The SM Mb-F simulation on two sample concession units produces a projected increase in wood supply, employment, and state revenue, plus the provision of new functions such as food, NTFP, and environmental services. These benefits are obtained by business feasibility. Assuming that gradually until 2030, the Mb-F can be implemented in 32% of Indonesia's production forests, then by 2045, it is projected that there will be an increase in wood production by 296.8%, state revenue by 654.3%, and labor absorption by 985.7%, as well as adding food production up to 19.36 M tons. This is because the land use efficiency of the current operation of forest concessions following the Annual Allowable Cut (AAC) under the selective cutting and replanting system in Indonesia (TPTI) is only about 3% of the total area of forest concession. Assuming the cutting cycle is 35 years, timber could be extracted in 1/35 of the total forest concession area. Implementing Mb-F will significantly improve the land use efficiency from about 3% to 90%.  The Mb-F will also restrain the rate of decline in carbon stocks, which is deeper if governance is still under the BAU scenario. This research suggests further global research, emphasizing the importance of innovative models for sustainable forestry governance and food security worldwide.

Authors: Gburová Jaroslava , Matušíková Daniela , Vadkertiová Andrea
Published: December 2024

This study explores how demographic factors shape perceptions of celebrity and influencer marketing in the context of promoting cryptocurrencies, particularly in the tourism sector. It evaluates whether such marketing strategies effectively promote cryptocurrencies and how their impact varies across demographic groups. By analyzing responses from a sample of 161 predominantly young and educated respondents, the study uses statistical methods to identify differences in perceived marketing effectiveness based on age, gender, and other demographics. Findings reveal no significant demographic differences in effectiveness; instead, the study underscores the importance of universal marketing qualities, such as authenticity, credibility, and relevance. These results suggest the need for inclusive marketing strategies that foster trust and transparency. Additionally, the study highlights avenues for future research, including cultural and ethical considerations, to refine marketing approaches and develop innovative campaigns that drive cryptocurrency adoption and trust in the tourism industry.

Published: December 2024

Work can be demanding, imposing challenges that can be detrimental to the job performance of employees. Efforts are therefore underway to develop practices and initiatives that may improve job performance and well-being. These include interventions based on mindfulness, inclusive leadership and work engagement. In the present study, authors have presented an association of inclusive leadership and mindfulness towards job performance through employee work engagement among secondary teachers in the context of Hong Kong. The sample size of 263 teachers working from three secondary schools in Sha Tin, Hong Kong has been incorporated in this study. A structured questionnaire designed on a 5-point Likert scale has been used based on purposive sampling by analysis of IBM SPSS 27 and Smart PLS version 4.0.9 by applying a structural equation modelling approach (SEM). The results indicated a strong positive influence on employee work engagement and job performance. Moreover, the bootstrap investigation showed that mindfulness and inclusive leadership were significantly associated with employees’ work engagement in the presence of mediators’ work engagement. This study adds to the very scarce literature on inclusive leadership and mindfulness. In addition, this research is the first study to test the mindfulness skill, inclusive leadership and job performance relationship. Furthermore, this is the first study to explore the concept of mindfulness and inclusive leadership in the Hong Kong context. Moreover, the findings of this research can be beneficial for future theory development on mindfulness skill and inclusive leadership in cross-cultural contexts.
Exploring the drivers of remittance flows to Vietnam in the context of globalization: Evidence from a survey of Vietnamese immigrants
Authors: Ngo Duong Minh , Hoang Phuong Dung , Bozsik Norbert
Published: December 2024

This study examines the microeconomic determinants influencing remittance flows to Vietnam, considering factors such as gender (SEX), age (AGE), marital status (MS), income level (INC), educational level (EDU), financial status (FS), migration expenses (EXP), and foreign language proficiency (LAN). The study analyzes the impact of these factors on both the volume (REM_VL) and frequency of remittance flows (REM_FR), employing ordered logistic regression on survey data collected from Vietnamese migrants residing in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. The estimations reveal that migrants’ income, age, educational level, and migration costs significantly positively influence remittance flows to Vietnam. Conversely, the financial status of migrants’ families in the home country negatively impacts these flows. Gender and migration costs primarily influence the frequency of remittance transfers, but they do not have a significant effect on the volume of remittances. Although foreign language proficiency was introduced as a novel variable of the models, it does not demonstrate any significant impact in this study. Furthermore, the survey data and regression estimates suggest that two primary motivations drive remittances to Vietnam: altruistic motives and implicit loan agreements. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of remittance e behavior, particularly in the context of Vietnam’s status as a major labor exporter. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and researchers seeking to optimize remittance flows and their impact on the Vietnamese economy. By understanding the complex interplay of factors influencing remittance behavior, policymakers can design effective strategies to support migrants and encourage increased remittance inflows, ultimately contributing to economic development and poverty reduction.

Authors: Samson Ongki Aleksa , Mahmudi
Published: December 2024

The application of dolomite lime and shrimp waste Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) is expected to improve the quality of peat soil to support the growth and yield of peanuts. The study was aimed at the role of dolomite lime and shrimp waste LOF in the development and yield of peanuts on peat soil. The study was conducted in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan, from April to August 2024. The factorial, completely randomized design was used to arrange the field experiment. The treatment factors were the dosage of dolomite lime (3, 6, and 9 tons ha-1) and the concentration of shrimp waste LOF (200, 300, and 400 mL L-1). The results showed that using dolomite lime and shrimp waste LOF increased the growth and yield of peanuts on peat soil. The interaction of dolomite lime 6 tons ha-1 and shrimp waste LOF 400 mL L-1 effectively increased root volume. The best individual dolomite lime treatment level for peanut growth was 6 tons ha-1; for production, it was 9 tons ha-1. The best individual shrimp waste LOF treatment level for growth was 300 mL L-1; for production, it was 400 mL L-1.

“National Champions” and Technological “Little Giants”: Chinese Industrial Policy Between Modernization and Tradition
Authors: Danilin I. V.
Published: December 2024

China is confronting escalating geopolitical and socio-economic challenges, prompting a structural reorganization of its economy centered on the high-tech sector and emerging technologies. This article examines China's contemporary industrial, technological, and innovation policies within the context of global economic disruptions and domestic structural constraints. The relevance of this study lies in evaluating China's capacity to adapt to a shifting international environment, heightened technological competition from Western countries, and domestic pressures such as an aging population and slowing economic growth.The paper seeks to assess current strategies for the development of China's national innovation system (NIS) and critically analyze the transformation of its industrial policy. The central hypothesis posits that, despite outward signs of modernization, China's approach retains elements of traditional interventionism. Methodologically, the research draws on the theory of national innovation systems and elements of political economy, supplemented by case studies. These include an analysis of support mechanisms for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—particularly the so-called "small giants"—as a key example of the implementation of the "national champions" policy. The study relies on official documents and relevant statistical data.The findings reveal that China's current industrial and technological policies are marked by ambivalence. On the one hand, there is a notable shift towards a more nuanced and multitiered support system, emphasizing incentives for technology-oriented SMEs and the development of advanced sectors such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy. On the other hand, elements of a techno-centric and mobilization-oriented approach persist, with "national champions" continuing to play a central role in driving economic development. While the definition of champions has expanded to include SMEs, and the criteria for their selection have become more flexible, the effectiveness of this policy remains limited. The case of the "small giants" highlights the risks associated with the new policy framework. Looking ahead, the Chinese economy and its technology policies will continue to face significant challenges. However, the potential for transformative change appears limited due to mounting external pressures and path dependency, which predispose Chinese leadership to replicate established approaches.
Liquid Regionalism in Latin America: The Institutional and Trade Dynamics of the Latin American Integration Association
Authors: Morales-Fajardo M. E.
Published: December 2024

The Latin American Integration Association (LAIA) represents a commercial integration process that exemplifies the concept of liquid regionalism. Its defining characteristics include a lack of commitment and interest among member states, coupled with a pronounced pursuit of trade alternatives beyond regional boundaries. Rather than evolving into a robust common market, LAIA has primarily functioned as a zone of tariff preferences.This article aims to highlight the fragility of commercial integration within LAIA and to analyze the strong tendency toward extra-regional trade, which undermines the foundational principles of Latin American regionalism. The study provides a comprehensive examination of the historical context, evolution, and institutional framework of LAIA, with a particular focus on intra-regional trade dynamics and the Association's interactions with other regions and countries.The analysis concludes that LAIA epitomizes liquid regionalism in Latin America, a characterization stemming from the limited commitment of its member states, the institutional flexibility that defines its operations, and the prioritization of extra-regional trade at the expense of achieving its original objectives of economic integration and cooperation.Although LAIA was conceived within the framework of open regionalism in Latin America, it has not developed into a fully-fledged regional integration process. Instead, its focus has remained narrowly confined to facilitating trade exchanges. The intergovernmental regionalism model underpinning LAIA has failed to progress toward the establishment of a free trade area, contradicting the objectives outlined in the Treaty of Montevideo.
Trade and Scientific-Technical Cooperation with the USSR on the U.S. Leadership’s Agenda During the Era of Détente (1969–1980)
Authors: Yungblyud V. T.
Published: December 2024

: Trade and scientific-technical cooperation were integral components of U.S.-Soviet relations during the détente of the 1970s. By the late 1960s, strategic parity had been achieved between the two superpowers, marking a turning point in their confrontation. The arms race came to be regarded as both costly and unsustainable. While the temporary balance of military capabilities reduced the immediate threat of war and eased direct confrontation, it also fostered the belief that strengthening commercial ties and advancing scientifictechnical programs and exchanges could provide a material foundation for lasting peace. In Moscow, this notion evolved into a programmatic directive, whereas Washington adopted a more pragmatic stance.Drawing on a broad historiographical foundation, archival documents from Russian repositories (RGANI, RGAE), published materials from the U.S. Department of State, and electronic collections of American intelligence and scientific communities, this article examines the evolving U.S. policy toward the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It focuses on the role assigned to trade, economic relations, and scientific-technical cooperation in the broader framework of superpower relations.The study concludes that the unraveling of détente in trade and scientific-technical cooperation occurred in three distinct stages. The first stage began with the passage of the JacksonVanik Amendment in 1974, which disrupted the principle of equality in bilateral relations and inflicted considerable economic losses on the Soviet side. The second stage was marked by the Carter administration's emphasis on human rights beginning in January 1977. This introduced the threat of sanctions and escalated tensions in U.S.-Soviet relations. The third stage, initiated in December 1979 and solidified by January 1980, witnessed the dismantling of the infrastructure supporting bilateral scientific and technical cooperation. These developments underscored the shifting priorities and eventual decline of détente as a defining feature of U.S.-Soviet relations during this period.
Projects of the Franco-Swedish Alliance against the Russian State in 1572–1575
Authors: Ryabov S. M.
Published: December 2024

This article explores key aspects of the French royal court's policies in Northern Europe and the dynamics of Russian-French relations during the early 1570s. The first section provides a concise overview of the geopolitical situation in the Baltic region following the Russian-Lithuanian truce on June 24, 1570, and the Treaty of Stettin on December 13, 1570. The second section focuses on the conspiracy to overthrow King John III of Sweden, orchestrated by Charles de Mornay with support from the House of Valois. The author also examines the proposal for a Franco-Swedish alliance, articulated by Charles de Danzay, the French ambassador to Denmark. It is hypothesized that this alliance plan was opposed by Henry of Anjou, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, who sought to avoid direct conflict with the Russian state. The third section analyzes the decline of French influence in the Baltic region during 1574–1575, attributed to Henry de Valois' flight from Poland in the summer of 1574 and the cessation of matrimonial negotiations with the Swedish Vasa dynasty in February 1575. The article delves into Charles de Danzay's political project to transform Livonia into a French vassal duchy under François of Alençon, as well as his broader vision for a FrancoDanish-Swedish-Livonian-Polish-Lithuanian alliance. The analysis demonstrates that, despite the temporary alignment of the Russian state with forces opposed to the French kingdom, the gradual expansion of mutually beneficial trade relations and dialogue in the context of Baltic policies mitigated the potential for escalating confrontation. By the mid-1570s, conditions were increasingly favorable for Russia and France to pursue shared interests, highlighting the potential for cooperative engagement over outright rivalry.

Пейоративная коннотация личности в корейской идиоматике
Authors: Тихоненко Валентина Александровна
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the semantic features of Korean idioms that express the pejorativeness as an emotionally evaluative negative characteristic of personality in the modern Korean language. In Korean idiomatics, a negative assessment is given to a person, who is distinguished by stupidity and incompetence, rudeness and insolence, unscrupulousness and greed, stubbornness, talkativeness, etc. Idioms of the semantic group in question, as a rule, relate to the informal speech of the Korean language and are largely accusatory in nature. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the identification of the pejorative component of Korean idiomatics, expressing disapproval of human actions or behaviors that deviate from the conventional norms of national Korean culture, which allows a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of formation of a negative assessment in the Korean language.

Authors: Пивоварова Екатерина Владимировна , Стружкина Наталья Ивановна
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the terminological aspect of oral medical communication in German between specialists and an unprepared audience. The work hypothesizes the linguistic adaptation of a medical scientific picture to the naive perception of a non-specialist by simplifying or elimination of specific terminology. Using methods of comparative and contextual analysis, as well as quantitative calculation methods, the authors establish the most common methods of using the terminology for effective communication with non-specialists (replacement through everyday vocabulary, explanation, use of native German words instead of borrowings, introduction of phraseological units), and explain the reasons for stated paraphrases.

Published: December 2024

Background: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the inflammatory response of the oesophageal epithelium; hence, therapies that affect oxidative stress may be a new approach in GERD management.  The objective is to analyze and determine the correlation between Total Oxidant Status (TOS), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), and Oxidative Stress Index (OSI) with severity of GERD.Methods: This is an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design,that  conducted at the Endoscopic Unit of three hospitals in Surabaya, which held from June 2020 to March 2021. The 18 to 60 years old subjects who meet the GERD-Q score 8-18 and not meet the exclusion criteria undergo an endoscopic examination to determine the GERD severity and blood test. Data analysis was using the Spearman rank correlation test.Results: This study indicates that most subjects are women, with mean age 39.31±10.99 years, most are GERD grade A, the mean value of TOS, TAS, ISO respectively is 5.18±1.60, 1.58±0.18, and 3.36±1.35. The laboratory test results show insignificant different based on GERD degree.  There is a non-significant positive correlation between TOS and GERD severity, a significant negative correlation  between TAS and  GERD severity, and a significant positive correlation between OSI and GERD severity (respectively, r = 0.121, p = 0.266 vs r = -0.323, p = 0.044 vs r = 0.345, p = 0.033).Conclusion:  The TAS and OSI may be correlated to the GERD severity but still need further investigations.Keywords: Gastroesophageal reflux disease, Oxidative Stress Index, Total Oxidant Status, Total Antioxidant Status

Abstract: This article aims to expose the damages caused by illegal gold mining to water bodies, with a focus on the cultural impacts that affect the Yanomami indigenous population. The majority of the Yanomami people reside in the upper reaches of the right bank tributaries of the Rio Branco in Roraima. Human exposure to mercury leads to various harms, not only to their health but also to their cultural practices and their relationship with the local ecosystem. This resistance of the Yanomami people against environmental crime becomes an essential factor for analysis. Through a qualitative approach based on bibliographic and documentary revision, encompassing the perspective of the Yanomami people and the laws governing the matter, the objective is to highlight the inadequacy of legislative enforcement, as well as the state's negligence, as responsible for the damages caused by the intensive use of mercury in the region.

A study to produce a Z boson and a radion through anomalous couplings is considered from muon-muon colliders at the center of mass energy 10 TeV. The leptonic decays of the Z boson and a radion decaying into a pair of photons are considered. The integrated luminosity of muon colliders is 10 . The production cross-sections depend on the polarization of  initial beams, the center of mass energy . The minimum integrated luminosity value is shown to correspond to a significance larger than 5s.
Repensando las “Soluciones basadas en la Naturaleza” desde el pensamiento post-desarrollista latinoamericano

El concepto de “Soluciones basadas en la Naturaleza” (SbN) ha sido promovido en los últimos años en ámbitos internacionales en relación con las agendas políticas de cambio climático y conservación de la biodiversidad. Se trata de un concepto controversial: sus detractores, tanto en países del Sur como del Norte, denuncian la exacerbación de la lógica de apropiación y mercantilización de la naturaleza que conlleva. En este artículo proponemos repensar el concepto de SbN desde dos corrientes post-desarrollistas que han marcado y renovado el pensamiento crítico latinoamericano de las últimas décadas: el Buen Vivir y la Economía Solidaria. Sostenemos que estas brindan un aporte al debate problematizando la diversidad ontológica y epistemológica que yace tras la referencia a “la naturaleza”, así como el carácter estructural de ausencias de la vida económico-substantiva y político-sustantiva. Un aporte de tal importancia podría dar mayor alcance a la controversia sobre el concepto de SbN.

Como parte de un proyecto de investigación mayor, “Propuestas pedagógicas de museos y archivos virtuales en la enseñanza de la historia” (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina), este artículo busca explicar cómo se enseña historia reciente en los museos virtuales de Argentina y de qué formas sus propuestas pedagógicas interpelan a la cultura escolar y a la ciudadanía. A través de la metodología de estudio de casos, se realiza un análisis comparativo de cinco propuestas pedagógicas de museos virtuales que considera sus singularidades y puntos en común respecto de: 1) el saber historiográfico que transmiten, 2) las definiciones pedagógicas que expresan, 3) su componente tecnológico y 4) su formato. Sostenemos que los museos virtuales y sus propuestas pedagógicas constituyen materiales significativos para la formación docente, en tanto tensionan las narrativas que circulan socialmente sobre el pasado cercano e interpelan a las formas en las que se enseña historia reciente en el ámbito escolar.

Cognitive distortions in human self-preservation and health-saving behavior in the context of evaluating the economic effectiveness of an employer's investments in employee health
Authors: Goleva Olga Ivanovna , Goleva Lyubov Ivanovna
Published: December 2024

Modern approaches to assessing the effectiveness of investments are based on the theory of rational choice, and the same applies to investments in health. At the same time, a person’s real behavior differs from rational behavior. The purpose of the study is to propose scientifically based methodological approaches to taking into account the characteristics of health-saving behavior of workers to increase the effectiveness of measures to reduce health risks. The object of the study is the working population and the characteristics of its health-saving behavior as a factor in the economic efficiency of measures to reduce health risks. Based on Russian and foreign studies, the provisions on cognitive distortions that cause negative features of self-preserving and health-preserving behavior (including patterns of self-destructive behavior) are summarized. Approaches to identifying the characteristics of health-saving behavior of employees of an economic entity, as deviations from rational behavior, have been formed on the basis of cognitive distortions formulated in the scientific literature that are characteristic of making a person’s choice in matters of health. An algorithm is proposed for analyzing the characteristics of such behavior (as deviations from rational behavior) and taking into account their impact on assessing the economic effectiveness of preventive measures and developing measures to improve their effectiveness. Criteria for the effectiveness of measures to manage the effectiveness of preventive measures, developed taking into account the characteristics of the health-saving behavior of the organization's team of employees, are formulated (based on the calculation of the total effect and result per unit of invested funds, both in the organization of the event itself and in the implementation of measures to improve efficiency).
Exosomes derived from cancer-associated fibrolasts mediated ciplatin resistance
Authors: Meng Yiyu , Shao Hui , Wu Lijun
Published: December 2024

Objective:

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a highly invasive form of head and neck cancer, carries a significant risk of distant metastasis. NPC is particularly prevalent in Asia and has a high incidence in southern China. Cisplatin-diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP), a chemotherapy agent, is commonly employed in NPC treatment. Despite DDP’s efficacy, many patients eventually develop resistance to it over the course of their therapy, which significantly hinders treatment outcomes. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key components of the tumor micro-environment and contribute to tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance. Exosomes secreted by CAFs serve as crucial mediators of intercellular communication and participate in modulating diverse biological processes. This study aimed to explore how exosomes derived from CAFs contribute to DDP resistance in NPC.

Material and Methods:

An in vitro coculture system was used to simulate the interaction between CAFs and NPC cells, and exosomes secreted by CAFs were isolated and characterized. The expression of autophagy hallmark proteins was detected by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Autophagy intensity was quantified using monodansylcadaverine staining, and cell proliferation was assessed by colony formation assays and methylthiazolyldiphenyl–tetrazolium assays. NPC cells were treated with autophagy inducers (rapamycin), and the expression of Ras homologue enriched in brain (Rheb), mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC1), and UNC51-like kinase was detected. Immunofluorescence was used to determine the cellular localization and expression intensity of mTORC1, and the effect on DDP sensitivity was evaluated through cell proliferation rates. In addition, the exosome-mediated resistance mechanism was further validated using an in vivo xenograft tumor model.

Results:

Coculture of CAFs with NPC cells significantly promoted the proliferation of NPC cells (P < 0.01), significantly elevated the IC50 value of DDP (P < 0.01), and elevated the resistance of NPC cells to DDP. CAF-derived exosomes elevated autophagy hallmark proteins light chain 3B-II, Beclin, and increased the autophagy intensity (P < 0.01). CAF-derived exosomes promoted autophagy by inhibiting mTORC1 (P < 0.01). In the in vitro model, exosomes promoted the growth of tumor tissues (P < 0.01), and the inhibition of exosome secretion reversed the promotion effect of autophagy (P < 0.01) and elevated the sensitivity of NPC cells to DDP.

Conclusion:

CAF-derived exosomes promote protective autophagy in NPC cells through the Rheb/mTOR axis, and result in DDP resistance in NPC.
Knocking-down annexin A3 suppresses inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum stress to attenuate sepsis-induced acute kidney injury in HK2 cells

Published: December 2024

Objective:

Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is considered as a life-threatening complication of sepsis. The purpose of this study is to clarify the involvement of annexin A3 (ANXA3) in sepsis-related AKI.

Material and Methods:

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to establish a cell model based on HK2 cells. ANXA3 expression was quantified through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferative capacities were assessed through 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine proliferation, cell counting kit-8, and colony formation experiments. Flow cytometry was utilized to analyze apoptotic cells. Inflammatory and oxidative stress indicators were measured by employing corresponding commercial assay kits. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers were quantified through western blot analysis.

Results:

ANXA3 levels were significantly elevated in HK2 cells treated with LPS and in serum samples obtained from patients with AKI and sepsis (P < 0.001). LPS treatment exacerbated cellular damage, leading to increased ER and oxidative stresses, apoptosis, and inflammation, whereas knocking down ANXA3 significantly reversed these changes (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Interference with ANXA3 protected HK2 cells from LPS-induced cell injury through inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and ER stress.
