Corporate Environmental Protection Investment and Debt Financing Costs: Evidence from China
Authors: Yao Xiao , Bao Xianjun
Published: December 2024

Corporate environmental protection investment is crucial for reducing pollution levels and controlling harmful substance emissions. We examine the relationship between corporate environmental protection investment and debt financing costs, utilizing a sample of A-share listed companies in China from 2011 to 2020. We find that debt financing costs are negatively related to corporate environmental protection investment. Green technology innovation and ESG performance are the main channels. Environmental regulations, air quality, and green finance impact the interplay between corporate environmental protection investment and debt financing costs. Moreover, our heterogeneity analysis underscores that enterprises facing looser financing constraints and low levels of pollution are more likely to mitigate debt financing costs by investing in environmental protection. The conclusion provides policy implications for guiding enterprises to consider environmental investment as a long-term strategy and provides a theoretical foundation for the government to enhance its guiding role.

Published: December 2024

The problem of removing NOx and carbon particle emissions from diesel engines has been a challenge in the field of environmental protection, which is prompting people to actively explore ways to improve the efficiency of pollutant emission treatment. Due to the high price of precious metals, developing an alternative catalytic material with high catalytic activity and stability is a difficult task. Perovskite, with its stable and flexibly variable crystal structure, has become a research hotspot in the field of catalysis. This paper discusses the structure of perovskite catalysts and the mechanism behind the simultaneous catalytic oxidation of diesel engine soot and NOx. Meanwhile, it provides a comprehensive review of the preparation methods and A/B site modification strategies, establishing a foundation for the synthesis and A/B site modification of perovskite catalysts capable of catalyzing the oxidation of soot and NOx simultaneously. Additionally, this article offers an outlook on the challenges and future development of perovskite catalysts in this field.

Authors: Frackiewicz Mariusz , Machalica Łukasz , Palus Henryk
Published: December 2024

In recent years, many new metrics highly correlated with the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) have been proposed for assessing image quality through Full-Reference Image Quality Assessment (FR-IQA) methods, such as MDSI, HPSI, and GMSD. Eight of these selected metrics, which compare reference and distorted images in a symmetrical manner, are briefly described in this article, and their performance is evaluated using correlation criteria (PLCC, SROCC, and KROCC), as well as RMSE. The aim of this paper is to develop a new, efficient quality index based on a combination of several high-performance metrics already utilized in the field of Image Quality Assessment (IQA). The study was conducted on four benchmark image databases (TID2008, TID2013, KADID-10k, and PIPAL) and identified the three best-performing metrics for each database. The paper introduces a New Combined Metric (NCM), which is a weighted sum of three component metrics, and demonstrates its superiority over each of its component metrics across all the examined databases. An optimization method for determining the weights of the NCM is also presented. Additionally, an alternative version of the combined metric, based on the fastest metrics and employing symmetric calculations for pairs of compared images, is discussed. This version also demonstrates strong performance.

Published: December 2024

The ongoing development of gain-scheduled filters is motivated by the estimation of the sideslip angle of ground vehicles. The present work proposes an approach based on finite-frequency specifications and an energy-to-peak (E2P) index for designing linear parameter-varying (LPV) filters. After reporting a new theoretical result, analysis and synthesis conditions are proposed for gain-scheduled and robust filters. Their properties are tested and illustrated using a simulated ground vehicle system via a comparative study, highlighting the advantages of the proposed approach.
What Is the Effect of China’s Renewable Energy Market-Based Coupling Policy?—A System Dynamics Analysis Based on the Coupling of Electricity Market, Green Certificate Market and Carbon Market
Authors: Zhao Wenhui , Lin Yanghui , Pan Hua
Published: December 2024

In the context of China’s electricity market reform, green certificate trading and carbon trading, as important policy tools to promote the development of renewable energy and energy conservation and emission reduction in the power industry, will inevitably be coupled with the electricity market. In order to study whether the coupled market can successfully achieve the goals of power supply structure adjustment and carbon emission reduction, this paper establishes a system dynamics (SD) model, analyzes the correlation and coordination mechanism among the green certificate market (TGC), carbon market (ET) and electricity market, including generation right trading, and simulates the changes of market price and power supply structure. The results show that (1) the power price under the coupling of three markets includes the TGC price and the ET price, so it is influenced by the ratio of renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and carbon reduction policy; (2) the combination of the TGC mechanism and the ET mechanism will be conducive to the optimization of long-term market power supply structure, so as to promote the realization of emission reduction targets; and (3) power generation rights trading, as a carbon reduction policy, will reduce the power generation of fossil energy in the short-term market, but in the long run, it will lead to the loss of momentum for the development of renewable energy. Therefore, regulators need to reasonably adjust different policies in order to give full play to the comprehensive regulatory role and help the energy and power industry and the low-carbon transformation of society.
The Quantum Electromagnetic Field in the Weyl–Wigner Representation
Authors: Santos Emilio
Published: December 2024

The quantum electromagnetic (EM) field is formulated in the Weyl–Wigner representation (WW), which is equivalent to the standard Hilbert space one (HS). In principle, it is possible to interpret within WW all experiments involving the EM field interacting with macroscopic bodies, the latter treated classically. In the WW formalism, the essential difference between classical electrodynamics and the quantum theory of the EM field is just the assumption that there is a random EM field-filling space, i.e., the existence of a zero-point field with a Gaussian distribution for the field amplitudes. I analyze a typical optical test of a Bell inequality. The model admits an interpretation compatible with local realism, modulo a number of assumptions assumed plausible.

Published: December 2024

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients may increase the risk of rejection or allograft dysfunction, other infection(s), and morbidity and mortality. Treatment can be challenging due to medication-associated toxicities. Maribavir (MBV) is a promising option for the treatment of resistant or refractory (R/R) CMV infection in lieu of foscarnet (FOS), which has long been the recommended therapy for (val)ganciclovir-resistant infection. This was a single-center retrospective study of clinical outcomes of patients who received MBV compared to a control group who received FOS for an episode of CMV infection. Each cohort consisted of 27 episodes of CMV infection. Twenty patients in the MBV cohort and from the FOS cohort cleared the infection, with five and three patients developing MBV or FOS resistance, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in failure of therapy as evidenced by persistent DNAemia (p = 0.56) or development of antiviral resistance (p = 0.24). In conclusion, MBV was as effective as FOS for the treatment of R/R CMV infection and was better tolerated without increased risk of antiviral resistance.

Published: December 2024

Access to safe water and food is a critical issue in sub-Saharan Africa, where microbial contamination poses significant health risks. Conventional water treatment and food preservation methods have limitations in addressing water safety, particularly for antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms. This review explores the potential application of bacteriophages as an innovative solution for water treatment and food safety in the region. Bacteriophages specifically infect bacteria and offer a targeted approach to reducing bacterial load, including multidrug-resistant strains, without the drawbacks of chemical disinfectants. This review also highlights the advantages of phage bioremediation, including its specificity, adaptability, and minimal environmental impact. It also discusses various case studies demonstrating its efficacy in different water systems. Additionally, we underscore the need for further research and the development of region-specific phage applications to improve water quality and public health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa. By integrating bacteriophage strategies into water treatment and food production, the region can address critical microbial threats, mitigate the spread of antimicrobial resistance, and advance global efforts toward ensuring safe water for all.
Algae Removal and Release of Algal Organic Matter During Ozonation of Synechococcus sp.
Authors: Zuo Yanting , Chen Jiali , Liu Haolin , Liu Wei , Cheng Shi , Zhang Huaicheng , Peng Mingguo
Published: December 2024

Pre-ozonation can enhance the removal of algae in source water during cyanobacterial blooms; however, little is known about the influence of the co-existing allochthonous natural organic matter (NOM) on algal removal and algal organic matter (AOM) behavior during ozonation. This study aims to elucidate in the presence and absence of allochthonous NOM and the effects of varying ozone doses on Synechococcus sp. cell removal, membrane integrity, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) release and removal. The results indicate that ozone effectively disrupted algal cell membranes, reducing algal density; however, the presence of allochthonous NOM delayed cell rupture by competing for ozone due to aromatic humic-like substances. Pterin-like and protein-like fluorescent compounds were released upon cell disruption. Due to that, excess ozone led to the oxidation of the released pterin-like compounds, with characteristic fluorescence changes correlating to ozone dosage; these changes are potential to be used as an indicator to determine the optimized ozone dosage, avoiding more adverse release of intracellular AOM to form disinfection byproducts.

Published: December 2024

Rhynchocypris kumgangensis, endemic to Korea, is limited to the upper Hangang River and Gucheondongcheon Stream. As a key and climate-sensitive biological indicator species in the Deogyusan National Park, it has a southern range limit in the Gucheondong Valley. Due to climate change, notable shifts in the activity, distribution, and population of R. kumgangensis on the Gucheondongcheon Stream are expected. This study examined trends between the 2020 field survey and previous surveys (2014–2018) for fish faunal changes at 13 sites in the Deogyusan National Park and for the population changes of R. kumgangensis at four sites in the Gucheondongcheon Stream. At 13 sites, we identified 996 individuals of 17 fish species in seven families, including 2 endangered (Pseudopungtungia nigra, Hemibarbus mylodon) and 11 Korea-endemic species. The Fish Assessment Index (FAI) of the 13 sites in the Deogyusan National Park was analyzed and found to be of A-grade in both the 2020 and past surveys, with high scores in all M1–M8 categories. Both the results of CCA and field surveys between the entire fish community and pH, DO, and water temperature revealed that the population of R. kumgangensis had a narrower distribution range and was more sensitive to water temperature than the same cold-water fish, R. oxycephalus. Climate change has been identified as causing the annual maximum temperature (°C) in the Deogyusan National Park to increase year on year and the R. kumgangensis population to decline, suggesting that the time for conservation efforts is “now”.
Optimized Evaluations of Irrigation Profits and Balance of Irrigation Water Demand and Supply Under Climate Change

Published: December 2024

Optimizing irrigation profit is essential for enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring sustainable water resource management, especially under the uncertainties caused by climate variability. It signifies that maximizing irrigation profits has become the primary consideration of current agricultural irrigation systems. By discussing the change in irrigation profits with irrigation fraction f, which represents the proportion of irrigated farmland per unit area of cultivated land, a new method of qualitative diagnosis of irrigation supply and demand balance was proposed by means of the optimal irrigation fraction f0 corresponding to the objective function yf and the correlation coefficient ρ between irrigation water demand anomalies D^ and irrigation water withdrawal anomalies I^ (ρD^,I^=0). It will serve as a new attempt to optimize irrigation profits. We argue that the optimal objective function yf0 represents the state of equilibrium of irrigation supply and demand. This study proposes a reverse optimization idea, which includes two comparison methods, to estimate the comprehensively optimal irrigation fraction f0 that maximizes irrigation profits and irrigation profit per unit area while minimizing risks associated with climatic anomalies. By demonstrating that f0 performs exceptionally well in meeting the objectives of maximizing irrigation profits and minimizing risks across various climatic scenarios, we suggest a robust method for optimizing irrigation profits, which simply calculates ρD^,I^f=0 because ρD^,I^ is the function of f. Since f0 could capture the optimal solution to the greatest extent. It can serve as a simple and effective solution to determine the optimal objective function yf0 and diagnose the state of balance between irrigation water demand and supply. This method offers practical implications for water resource management and agricultural planning in the face of climate change.

Authors: Drabik Krzysztof
Published: December 2024

Współczesny dyskurs nad bezpieczeństwem człowieka zawiera niekiedy podstawowe tezy determinujące formę trwania, przetrwania i rozwoju. Wiele składników owego dyskursu wskazuje na narracje, które mimo upływu setek lat nie straciły na swojej aktualności. Świetnie wpisują się we współczesne wysiłki na rzecz kształtowania bezpieczeństwa człowieka tkwiącego z wysoce stechnizowanym świecie. Sfor-mułowane przez starożytnych myślicieli greckich koncepcje polityczne i etyczne trafnie definiują współczesny namysł nad bezpieczeństwem mimo stricte cyfrowego otoczenia. Adekwatność greckiej myśli filozoficznej (społeczno-politycznej) wobec aktualnych zagrożeń i wyzwań implikuje tezę, iż wysiłki na rzecz poszukiwania godnych form trwania człowieka powinny uwzględniać tę myśl. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wybranych starożytnych koncepcji filozoficznych (społecznych i politycznych) oraz wskazanie ich aktualności wobec współczesnych uwarunkowań kształtowania bezpieczeństwa człowieka. W artykule zastosowano podejście heurystyczne z założeniem poszukiwania historycznie zdeterminowanych związków między faktami.

Blooming Chemistry: Vinca as Your Pocket-Friendly pH Indicator
Authors: Jabeen Mussarat , Zafar Ansa , Aslam Noreen , Aslam Samina
Published: December 2024

This study reveals the potential of Vinca flowers (in hues of red, purple, violet, pink, light pink, and white) as vibrant and effective natural acid-base indicators for titration experiments. By employing a cold extraction method with 70% ethanol, we successfully isolated anthocyanin pigments from these flowers and explored their pH sensitivity across a broad range (pH 1-14). The extracts displayed striking color changes: red/pink in acidic conditions (pH 1-3), colorless at pH 5, green hues in the mid-range (pH 7-9), and yellow in basic solutions (pH 11-14). Notably, the purple, red and violet extracts showed the most distinct color shifts. UV-vis spectroscopy confirmed that anthocyanins are the principal pigments, with additional sugar content also identified. In practical titration experiments, including NaOH vs. HCl, HCl vs. NH4OH, and NaOH vs. CH3COOH, the Vinca flower extracts provided clear and reliable color transitions, comparable to synthetic indicators like methyl red, methyl orange, and phenolphthalein. The pH endpoints observed with these natural indicators matched those obtained with synthetic counterparts, underscoring the accuracy and reliability of Vinca flowers as pH indicators. This innovative approach not only offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic indicators but also highlights the valuable application of plant-based pigments in both educational and practical settings for acid-base titrations.
Sustainable colour, sulfate and phosphate removal from vegetable oil refinery wastewater using snail shell waste extracted-chitin-chitosan: Equilibrium studies and toxicity assessment of used adsorbents
Authors: Tsamo Cornelius , Alexis Goufdour
Published: December 2024

Direct discharged of vegetable oil refinery wastewater without treatment can cause severe environmental pollution, corrosion and clogging of pipes. This work is aimed at investigating the use of snail shell extracted chitin and chitosan fortified with alum in removing colour, sulfate and phosphate from vegetable oil refinery waste water, monitoring the pH, and testing the toxicity of the used materials on the growth performance of maize. Chitin and chitosan with good adsorbent properties were produced from snail shells. The spent chitin/alum and chitosan/alum were recycled and their toxicities on the growth performance of maize tested. The studied wastewater had pH of 10.40, sulfate and phosphate concentrations of 3100 and 1561.3 mg/L respectively. Maximum removal capacities for sulfate and phosphate of 842.54 and 728.07 mg/g were respectively obtained for chitin, and respectively 934.97 and 728.00 mg/L for chitosan against colour removal of 0.96 and 0.95 Absorbance/g respectively on chitin and chitosan. Nearly 100% of colour and phosphate were removed by chitin and chitosan systems for all tested parameters against a maximum of 84% for sulfate by chitosan at pH 10 and 80% for chitin at pH 4. From Pseudo-second order kinetics, phosphate and sulfate removal were faster on chitin than chitosan while colour removal was faster on chitosan than chitin. Recycled adsorbents enhanced maize germination and survival than the control where they were absent. Tested adsorbents are effective in improving quality of studied effluent, requiring no electricity and can be used as fertilizers, ensuring clean environment and generation of more revenue

Published: December 2024

The essential steps of our study are to quantify and classify the differences between real and fake speech signals. In this scope, the main aim is to use the salient feature learning ability of deep learning in our study. With the use of ensemble classification pipeline, the interpretable logical rules were used for generalized reasoning with the class activation maps to discriminate the different speech classes as correctly. Fake audio samples were generated by using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Neural Network. Our experiments were conducted on three different language dataset such as Turkish, English languages and Bilingual. As a result of higher classification and recognition accuracy with the use of classification pipeline as compiled into a majority voting-based ensemble classifier, the experimental results were obtained for each individual language performance approximately as 90% for training and as 80.33% for testing stages for pipeline, and it reached as 73% for majority voting results considered together with the appropriate test cases as well. To extract semantically rich rules, an interpretable logical rules infrastructure was used to infer the correct fake speech from class activations of deep learning’s generative model. Discussion and conclusion based on scientific findings are included in our study.

Published: December 2024

This study introduces a novel approach in Baghdad, Iraq, where flat plate solar heaters are directly connected to the electric heater without the use of storage tanks. This setup operates in a manner similar to solar cells connected to the electric grid, without the need for electrical energy storage during daylight hours (on-grid). A series of solar heaters, covering a total area of 3 m2, have been linked to the electric water heater. This arrangement allows the water supplied to the electric heater to either be pre-heated by the solar heaters or delivered directly. The percentage of electrical energy saved to obtain 100 liters of hot water at 40 °C using a water mixer was 53% and 57% when adjusting the electrical heater thermostat to 60 °C and 80 °C, respectively. This was found by comparing the electrical energy usage of the electric heater in both cases (preheating and direct supply).

Portraits and Excuses of Religious Radicalism in Educational Institutions
Authors: Gazali M. , Huda Syamsul , Kurniawan Edi
Published: December 2024

This article is based on a portrait of religious radicalism among students in public and religious schools in Jambi Province. This is motivated by significant gaps in several studies that still need to integrate comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis. Therefore, this article provides a more thorough and nuanced understanding of this issue using a mixed methods sequential explanatory model. Sampling was non-probability covering 5 districts/cities, 15 public schools, 15 religious schools, and 750 respondents. The results show a high potential for radicalism: 47.6% of respondents are willing to join violent jihadist groups, 38.8% of respondents view Pancasila as incompatible with Islam, 89.4% of respondents support the implementation of Sharia law, and 82.8% are willing to join groups that want to establish an Islamic state. This analysis reveals that radicalism emerges due to disappointment with law enforcement in Indonesia.

The handling of drug cases has developed with the presence of Islamic boarding schools that specifically focus their educational orientation on handling this case. The involvement of Islamic boarding schools in handling drug offenders indicates the development of a rehabilitation process that has only been played by the National Narcotics Agency. This study will reveal the religious effect-based education model in handling drug cases in Ar-Rahman Palembang and Suryalaya Tasikmalaya Islamic boarding schools with an empirical qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection uses in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation which are then analyzed using Spradley's inductive model technique which begins with compiling research questions, then determining research propositions, research analysis units, data linkage logic with propositions, criteria for interpreting findings, and finally presenting research results. The research findings show three essential things. First, overcoming drug offenders is carried out through five stages, namely client acceptance, program orientation, primary program, re-entry program, and complete program. Second, client healing is carried out with therapist techniques with religious methods, Focus Group Discussions, narcotic animus, as well as medical and psychological. Third, the implications are oriented towards three main aspects: behavioral and mental changes, awareness to stop consuming drugs, and the emergence of obedience in worship. In line with that, this study has limitations because it only uses descriptive analysis of limited data. Therefore, further studies with more comprehensive data coverage are expected.

Women entering early adulthood will face various developmental demands and challenges. These demands and challenges require early adult women to be independent and no longer dependent on other people. This research is a new finding that aims to reveal the relationship between self-concept and gender-oriented parenting independently and simultaneously with the Cinderella complex in 312 early adult women. The measuring instruments in the research are the self-concept scale, the gender-oriented parenting style scale, and the Cinderella complex scale. The data analysis technique used multiple regression and the results obtained were that self-concept and gender-oriented parenting were simultaneously related to the Cinderella complex with an effective contribution of 32.2% (23% contribution of self-concept & 29.4% contribution of gender-oriented parenting). This research supports external factors as factors that have a greater influence on the Cinderella complex based on a comparison of correlation coefficient values and effective contribution. These findings can be a basis for consideration for further research related to the Cinderella complex theme and the formulation of interventions for women with Cinderella complex syndrome

Student engagement involves student responsibility in the lecture process which can be influenced by fear of failure, in this relationship there is self-compassion that can bridge. Students with high fear of failure, but high self-compassion make it possible to manage the negative impact of fear of failure and ultimately student engagement increases. This study aimed to determine the role of self-compassion in mediating the relationship between fear of failure and student engagement. The sample in this study was 384 students who were taken using the convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using three scales, namely the student engagement scale, the self-compassion scale, and the fear of failure scale. Data analysis was conducted using mediation analysis with JASP to test the mediating role of self-compassion and PROCESS analysis to see the dynamics of the relationship between the three variables in more detail. The mediation analysis results showed a significant relationship between fear of failure and student engagement in Sebelas Maret University students through self-compassion. The mediating role of self-compassion provides a greater influence than the direct effect. Increasing fear of failure allows a decrease in self-compassion. Furthermore, an increase in self-compassion allows for an increase in student engagement.

The rapid development of urbanization is distancing people from the natural environment, especially in urban areas, including Daerah Khusus Jakarta (DKJ) or Jakarta. Jakarta has been experiencing a significant decrease in green space from year to year, making it more difficult for people to access a green environment. Therefore, this study aims to see how the role of access to natural is moderating the relationship between natural relatedness and wellbeing in urban society, especially in the Jakarta region. The research participants involved 152 people aged over 18 years old with more than 1 year stay in the Jakarta area. The quantitative research was structured and hypothesis testing was carried out using the partial least squared structural equation modeling (LPS-SEM) method. The results showed that nature relatedness was significantly correlated with wellbeing (β = 0.354, t = 3.221, p < 0.05) and access to the nature was significantly correlated with wellbeing (p < 0.05). However, there was no moderating role of access to nature on the relationship between nature relatedness and wellbeing (β= 0.027, t= 0.373, p = 0.709). The differences between the results of this study and previous studies are discussed and the characteristics of the participants involved are considered.

Auxílios Financeiros e a relação com a evasão na EJA: Um estudo de caso sobre o IFG Campus Uruaçu
Authors: Barbosa Scalabrini Ricardo
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo a análise do impacto do pagamento de auxílios financeiros em contraponto aos índices de evasão dos discentes do Curso Técnico Integrado em Comércio na modalidade da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) do IFG Campus Uruaçu. Foram entrevistados os alunos do Curso no período letivo de 2021/1 por meio de um formulário, o qual orientou o anonimato dos mesmos. Foi observado que os auxílios financeiros são amplamente concedidos e esses são utilizados para o pagamento de serviços básicos e essenciais como água, energia e alimentação, o que é uma das finalidades da concessão ao público discente, que possuem vulnerabilidades socioeconômicas. No entanto, uma possível falta ou encerramento do pagamento dos auxílios financeiros não foram identificados como os principais motivo de evasão no curso, levando a acreditar que existem outros motivos como: a dificuldade de acompanhar os estudos e os horários incompatíveis entre o trabalho e as aulas, que devem ser observados com uma maior proximidade e seriedade para que o papel educacional e social do IFG seja amplamente cumprido.
Theoretical study on structural stability and miscibility of ScAlN alloys: effect of lattice constraint
Authors: Miyamoto Takuto , Akiyama Toru , Kawamura Takahiro
Published: December 2024

The structural stability and miscibility of ScAlN are theoretically investigated on the basis of density functional calculations. The calculations demonstrate that the relative stability between wurtzite and rocksalt structures depends on Sc composition. The lattice constraint of AlN and GaN substrates enhances the stability of the wurtzite structure as well as the miscibility of ScAlN alloys. Furthermore, the calculated energy barrier for polarization switching is also influenced by the lattice constraint. The results give insights into understanding the effect of substrate on structural stability and miscibility of ScAlN alloys.
