Authors: Di Chiara Valentina , Battistella Andrea , Boatto Vasco , Furlan Sandra , Giavi Luca , Liggieri Silvia , Paiola Anna , Pomarici Eugenio , Stefanucci Stefano
Published: January 2024

Despite attention to sustainability growing in the last decade in the wine sector, the rate of association with wine sustainability programs still appears to be limited. This is mainly related to the uncertainty about the economic benefits related to the implementation of sustainable best practices. In this regard, some studies highlighted that the presence of professionals capable of managing the requirements promoted by the standards generally leads to a positive perception of their impact on the economic performances of companies. Therefore, to encourage participation in sustainability programs, the adoption of a collaborative approach to share the skills and knowledge necessary to manage the transition from a conventional organization to a sustainable one seems to be a functional strategy. This paper presents the Prosecco Sustainability Project as a case study to investigate how a structured set of activities must be deployed through a participatory/collaborative approach to significantly improve the level of sustainability of a wide and heterogeneous community of grape and wine producers. The case study highlights that the collaboration between different actors and the guidance from a coordinating figure capable of fostering dialogue and cooperation among the various stakeholders represent key elements to the large-scale deployment of a sustainable management system.
A Review: Construction and Demolition Waste as a Novel Source for CO2 Reduction in Portland Cement Production for Concrete
Authors: Kaptan Kubilay , Cunha Sandra , Aguiar José
Published: January 2024

There is an increasing global recognition of the need for environmental sustainability in mitigating the adverse impacts of cement production. Despite the implementation of various carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation strategies in the cement industry, such as waste heat recovery, the use of alternative raw materials and alternative fuels, energy efficiency improvements, and carbon capture and storage, overall emissions have still increased due to the higher production levels. The resolution of this matter can be efficiently achieved by the substitution of traditional materials with an alternative material, such as calcined clay (CC), construction and demolition waste (CDW), which have a significant impact on various areas of sustainable development, including environmental, economic, and social considerations. The primary objectives of employing CDW in the Portland cement production are twofold: firstly, to mitigate the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, as it is a significant contributor to environmental pollution and climate change; and secondly, to optimize the utilization of waste materials, thereby addressing the challenges associated with their disposal. The purpose of this work is to present a thorough examination of the existing body of literature pertaining to the partial replacement of traditional raw materials by CDW and the partial replacement of Portland cement by CDW and to analyze the resulting impact on CO2 emissions.

Monitoring of Ship Operations in Seaport Areas in the Sustainable Development of Ocean–Land Connections
Authors: Abramowicz-Gerigk Teresa , Burciu Zbigniew , Gerigk Miroslaw K. , Jachowski Jacek
Published: January 2024

The paper is devoted to underlining the important role of monitoring systems in the sustainable development of seaport areas—sensitive ocean–land connections exposed to the harmful effects of multimodal transport. The study concerns the existing monitoring possibilities of the environmental factors and ship traffic near port infrastructure. The main aim of the study is presenting the example of solutions, supporting the sustainable development of port areas, related to the most dangerous ship maneuvering operations carried out near the berths. An indirect method for measuring loads on the seabed from the propeller and thruster jets during ship berthing and an experimental method for predicting the hydrodynamic forces generated on a moored Panamax-size bulk carrier by a similar vessel passing along in shallow water conditions are described in the context of their implementation in monitoring systems. The cloud-based system—installed in the ferry terminal in the Port of Gdynia and developed for monitoring the flow generated by the ship propellers during maneuvers near the berth and warning about the exceedance of allowable pressure on the quay wall—allows, after a two-year operation, to draw the conclusions related to maintenance planning and has an impact on port sustainability. The discussion presented in the paper underlines the influence of monitoring both the environmental elements and hazardous ship operations on the sustainable development of seaport areas.

The liquid biofuel bioethanol is widely produced worldwide via fermenting sugars extracted from a variety of raw materials, including lignocellulose biomass, one of the world’s most abundant renewable resources. Due to its recalcitrant character, lignocellulose is usually pretreated by mechanical, chemical, and biological methods to maximize sugar recovery. Pretreated lignocellulose biomass undergoes a fermentation process performed sequentially or simultaneously to saccharification. The different fermentation strategies (e.g., separate or simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation or co-fermentation) and conditions (e.g., inoculum type load, agitation, temperature, and pH) affect ethanol yield. Genetic modification of the inoculum has been focused recently to improve ethanol tolerance and as well as to use different sugars to enhance the performance of the microorganisms involved in fermentation. Nonetheless, these improvements result in a substantial increase in costs and have certain environmental costs. This review offers an overview of advancements in bioethanol production, with a primary focus on lignocellulosic feedstock, while also considering other feedstocks. Furthermore, it provides insights into the economic, social, and environmental impacts associated with bioethanol production.
Assessing Coastal Vulnerability and Evaluating the Effectiveness of Natural Habitats in Enhancing Coastal Resilience: A Case Study in Shanghai, China
Authors: Lin Zhiyi , Singh Minerva
Published: January 2024

This research evaluates the coastal vulnerability of Shanghai, evaluates the effectiveness of existing natural habitats in reducing that vulnerability, and, finally, provides recommendations to improve the resilience of the coastal areas. Shanghai is an important economic center that is home to a large population. However, the combination of ground subsidence, rising sea levels, and more frequent coastal flooding due to tropical cyclones poses escalating climate risks for Shanghai, demanding urgent mitigation measures. The InVEST Coastal Vulnerability Model was used in this study to assess Shanghai’s coastal vulnerability under the current situation and various scenarios that simulated the absence of natural habitats. The assessment results were analyzed through a comparison between different scenarios and spatial aggregation analysis. This study pinpointed highly vulnerable areas, primarily located on the east coast of Chongming Island, the east and northeast coasts of Hengsha Island, and the east coast of the mainland of Shanghai. These areas need to be prioritized for intervention. Also, it demonstrated the effectiveness of existing natural habitats in reducing coastal vulnerability, with large green spaces and salt marshes playing a greater role compared to small green spaces. This is the first study applying the InVEST Coastal Vulnerability Model to Shanghai, demonstrating the model’s potential in providing valuable information regarding coastal protection against the impacts of climate change in Shanghai. Insights from the findings of this study are useful in crafting sustainable land-use policies and plans for Shanghai.

Published: January 2024

The overall crash statistics in the EU still show a very significant number of car–cyclist crashes. Within the Horizon 2020 project Safe-Up, countermeasures have been developed to reduce this number. One of these countermeasures involves a V2X-enhanced on-board unit for cycles, which can provide on-time warning triggers. The research assumption was based on studying the benefits of connectivity in enhancing cyclists’ safety. This study assessed the performance of this potential technology both qualitatively by analyzing volunteer feedback during physical testing and quantitatively by virtual simulations. The volunteers’ study showed positive findings on system’s safety relevance, user experience, and user acceptance. The method applied for the virtual simulation is a prospective safety performance assessment with reconstructed accident scenarios based on the GIDAS database and cyclist behavior models, obtained from physical testing. The results using a warning trigger 4 s prior to the collision showed a potential safety benefit of approximately 98%. It should be noted that this trigger time was found to be quite early in both physical testing and virtual simulation. Further research is required to evaluate the system’s performance in more complex urban scenarios, as well as to design the human–machine interaction strategies for optimal accident avoidance.

Assessing Forest Conservation for Finland: An ARDL-Based Evaluation
Authors: Georgescu Irina , Kinnunen Jani , Nica Ionuț
Published: January 2024

Deforestation is a central topic in the ongoing environmental degradation stemming from global economic expansion and population growth. This study delved into the effects of electricity production from renewable sources, GDP per capita, and urbanization on forest area growth in Finland during the over-three-decade research period, 1990–2022, using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Both the ARDL bounds test and the Bayer–Hanck cointegration tests proved the existence of a long-term cointegrating relationship between the variables, and the constructed error correction model (ECM) evaluated short-term relationships. The results showed that: (i) forest area growth is positively connected with electricity production from renewable sources and urbanization; (ii) forest area growth is negatively connected with economic growth; (iii) in the short run, forest area growth is positively connected with all regressors. The utilized ARDL-ECM model, characterized by its robustness and appropriateness, validated the time-series dynamics. The obtained results were scrutinized, and their policy implications were thoroughly examined. Additionally, recommendations are provided to ensure the sustainability and success of forest conservation efforts.
Solving Conformal Mapping Issues in Tunnel Engineering
Authors: Chen Wenbo , Zhang Dingli , Fang Qian , Chen Xuanhao , Yu Lin
Published: January 2024

The calculation of conformal mapping for irregular domains is a crucial step in deriving analytical and semi-analytical solutions for irregularly shaped tunnels in rock masses using complex theory. The optimization methods, iteration methods, and the extended Melentiev’s method have been developed and adopted to calculate the conformal mapping function in tunnel engineering. According to the strict definition and theorems of conformal mapping, it is proven that these three methods only map boundaries and do not guarantee the mapping’s conformal properties due to inherent limitations. Notably, there are other challenges in applying conformal mapping to tunnel engineering. To tackle these issues, a practical procedure is proposed for the conformal mapping of common tunnels in rock masses. The procedure is based on the extended SC transformation formulas and corresponding numerical methods. The discretization codes for polygonal, multi-arc, smooth curve, and mixed boundaries are programmed and embedded into the procedure, catering to both simply and multiply connected domains. Six cases of conformal mapping for typical tunnel cross sections, including rectangular tunnels, multi-arc tunnels, horseshoe-shaped tunnels, and symmetric and asymmetric multiple tunnels at depth, are performed and illustrated. Furthermore, this article also illustrates the use of the conformal mapping method for shallow tunnels, which aligns with the symmetry principle of conformal mapping. Finally, the discussion highlights the use of an explicit power function as an approximation method for symmetric tunnels, outlining its key points.

Published: January 2024

SARS-CoV-2 caused the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 may elevate the risk of cognitive impairment and even cause dementia in infected individuals; it may accelerate cognitive decline in elderly patients with dementia, possibly in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. However, the mechanisms underlying the interplay between AD and COVID-19 are still unclear. To investigate the underlying mechanisms and associations between AD progression and SARS-CoV-2 infection, we conducted a series of bioinformatics research into SARS-CoV-2-infected cells, COVID-19 patients, AD patients, and SARS-CoV-2-infected AD patients. We identified the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in COVID-19 patients, AD patients, and SARS-CoV-2-infected cells, and these DEGs are enriched in certain pathways, such as immune responses and cytokine storms. We constructed the gene interaction network with the signaling transduction module in the center and identified IRF7, STAT1, STAT2, and OAS1 as the hub genes. We also checked the correlations between several key transcription factors and the SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 pathway-related genes. We observed that ACE2 expression is positively correlated with IRF7 expression in AD and coronavirus infections, and interestingly, IRF7 is significantly upregulated in response to different RNA virus infections. Further snRNA-seq analysis indicates that NRGN neurons or endothelial cells may be responsible for the increase in ACE2 and IRF7 expression after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The positive correlation between ACE2 and IRF7 expressions is confirmed in the hippocampal formation (HF) of SARS-CoV-2-infected AD patients. Our findings could contribute to the investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between AD and COVID-19 and to the development of effective therapeutic strategies for AD patients with COVID-19.

Published: January 2024

An accurate assessment of crop water requirements during the crop growth period can help organize irrigation schedules and investigate the hydrological environments in irrigation districts, especially in shallow groundwater districts. In irrigation scheduling, crop coefficients, representing three development stages, play a critical role in modeling evapotranspiration. Therefore, in this study, the crop coefficient (Kc) of sunflowers under drip irrigation in different hydrological years in the Hetao irrigation district with shallow groundwater is determined. Based on the analysis of rainfall frequency, the experimental situations of 2012, 2013, and 2014 are adopted as high, normal, and low flow years. Using the water balance method, groundwater recharge and crop evapotranspiration in different hydrological years were investigated. The results showed that the groundwater recharge in a high-flow year was larger than that in normal and low-flow years with values of 67.47, 66.75, and 42.61 mm, respectively. Crop evapotranspiration is directly related to the irrigation amount at the same growth stage. The Kc of sunflowers in a high-flow year is higher by 0.1 and 0.15 than that in normal and low-flow years. The Kc of sunflowers under drip irrigation is lower than that under surface irrigation by 8.9% in the initial and late stages of sunflower growth, but higher than that by 10.6% in the mid-stage, which is due to differences in small water potential differences and less evapotranspiration in the initial and late stages under drip irrigation. The study is of great significance for formulating a reasonable schedule of drip irrigation with shallow groundwater and improving the field environment.

Um dos maiores impactos causados pelas rodovias ocorre justamente durante o período de operação, no qual, o mau gerenciamento das áreas ou a falta de planejamento territorial facilitam o surgimento de entraves ambientais. Estes fatos justificam esta pesquisa, cujo objetivo é efetuar uma avaliação dos principais impactos ambientais no solo avindos do processo de abertura e duplicação de rodovias. Esta análise prioriza documentos secundários, que tem por objetivo reunir estudos semelhantes, publicados, avaliando-os criticamente em sua metodologia e reunindo-os numa análise estatística, para posterior seleção das variáveis. Foram analisadas minuciosamente as variáveis objeto desta pesquisa: supressão vegetal, compactação, erosão (Erodibilidade e Erosividade), deslizamento e contaminação do solo. No processo de busca no banco de dados, foram analisados 64 trabalhos acadêmicos referentes às cinco variáveis. A análise dos dados obtidos indicou que a supressão vegetal apresentou maior frequência relativa (fr=29,6%), no que fomenta que tal impacto demonstra ser abordado com bastante frequência por pesquisadores, se comparado com as demais, superada apenas pela variável Erosão (fr=32,8%). Quanto à contaminação do solo, a análise dos dados obtidos indicou que a frequência relativa (fi=9,3%) dos artigos observados abordam esse impacto, o que representa o menor percentual em relação às demais variáveis. Dessa forma, torna-se necessário abordar de forma conjunta e igualitária todos os impactos ambientais causados na abertura e duplicação de rodovias, pois há carência de pesquisas que abordem diretamente as variáveis analisadas neste trabalho, com destaque para a contaminação do solo, que apresentou a menor frequência, a qual evidencia tal problemática.

The Policy of Enforced Isolation in North Korea and Albania: Its Role in Regime Survival and Regime Collapse
Authors:   Public Policy Research Institute, Korea University, Kim Esther Eui-Gyeong
Published: January 2024

The article seeks to analyze the North Korean regime’s isolationist policy, which is focused more towards its own population than towards other countries, as a key survival strategy. North Korea and Albania shared many historical and ideological similarities between the 1940s and the 1980s, but their fates diverged when Albania was eventually engulfed by protests and underwent regime change. Albania’s Stalinist leader Enver Hoxha had done his best to keep the population isolated, as has his North Korean counterpart. But Albanians under Hoxha’s successor Ramiz Alia began to gain access to unfiltered international news from neighboring countries. In contrast, North Koreans have been sealed off from the outside world. Most North Koreans were, unbeknownst even to themselves, living in an information-deprived world. If this type of domestic isolation is systematic on the part of the regime, North Koreans will only begin to realize their predicament and its source once they begin to receive unfiltered and authentic information from the outside world.

STATISTICAL ASSESSMENT OF ANTENNA RADIATION PATTERN ENVELOPES FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY STUDIES
Authors: Ястребцова О.И.
Published: January 2024

В статье представлен анализ используемых в исследованиях электромагнитной совместимости эталонных диаграмм направленности антенн в виде пиковой и средней огибающих боковых лепестков. Рассмотрение проведено в приближении, что уровень излучения в направлении, отличном от направления главного лепестка, является случайной величиной. Проведенный в статье анализ показал, что используемая для получения средней огибающей из пиковой огибающей величина порядка 3–4 дБ дает уровень излучения, превышаемый приблизительно в течение 50–60% времени. Таким образом, использование средних огибающих приводит к переоценке уровней излучения антенн в случае исследований, проводимых методом Монте-Карло, однако их использование вполне оправданно в случае расчета суммарной помехи в исследованиях, не учитывающих проценты времени, так как позволяет корректно учесть мощность излучения антенны. В свою очередь, использование пиковой огибающей целесообразно в исследованиях, в которых защитный критерий не должен превышаться в 100% времени.

This article presents the analysis of the reference antenna radiation patterns used in electromagnetic compatibility studies in the form of peak and average sidelobe envelopes. The consideration was carried out assuming that the radiation level in directions other than the main beam is a random value. The analysis carried out in the article has shown that a value of about 3–4 dB used to obtain the average envelope from the peak envelope gives a radiation level that may be exceeded approximately 50–60% of the time. So the use of average envelopes leads to an overestimation of radiation levels in the case of studies conducted by the Monte Carlo method, but its use is justified in the case of calculating the aggregate interference that does not take into account percentages of time since it allows to correctly take into account the radiation power of the antenna. The use of the peak envelope is appropriate in studies where the protection criterion cannot be exceeded 100% of the time.

Authors: Mendoza Laura Edison Jhancarlos , Eslava de la Cruz Cinthia Karen , Escudero Vilchez Fernando Emilio , Salazar Llerena Silvia Liliana
Published: January 2024

El objetivo general del artículo fue analizar sistemáticamente mediante la revisión de literatura el impacto de la vulneración del derecho a contradicción en el proceso de colaboración eficaz que recurre al empleo de la prueba pericial. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa, de tipo básico y con diseño de revisión sistemática, por ello contó con una muestra de 6 artículos relacionados con la temática del estudio. Respecto a los resultados, se determinó que la prueba pericial aporta cogniciones de otras materias cuya relación con el Derecho acrecienta la posibilidad de comprender la situación y resolver un juicio de la manera más integral posible, para lo cual también debe cerciorarse el principio de contradicción. Por otra parte, la indagación se limitó al no realizar comparaciones constitucionales con otros sistemas legales para concebir las diferencias constantes que implican concepciones a tener en consideración; sin embargo, el valor del estudio recayó en el reconocimiento del impacto que la vulneración del derecho mencionado implica para las sociedades y los individuos según su responsabilidad y las imputaciones por las cuales deben responder. Finalmente, se concluyó que el principio de contradicción es crucial para un juicio íntegro y debe reforzarse cuando se reciba evidencia desde otras ramas del conocimiento.

republicanismo católico en la oratoria cívica. México: 1824-1853
Authors: Santillán Salgado Gustavo
Published: January 2024

Este artículo estudia el republicanismo clásico en su vertiente católica dentro de los discursos patrióticos entre 1824 y 1853. Postula que fue entendido no sólo como la antítesis de la monarquía, sino también como un camino hacia la virtud, fundamento de la comunidad política. Propone que dicha tradición estaba muy interrelacionada con el cristianismo. Además, muestra que este republicanismo católico es constatable en la cultura política y no se limita a destacados políticos o teóricos eminentes. Acude primordialmente a oratorias cívicas y se apoya en otras fuentes como folletos, periódicos y alocuciones de diverso tipo.
