Authors: Ji Dongyi , Pongsakornrungsilp Siwarit , Pongsakornrungsilp Pimlapas , Kumar Vikas
Published: February 2025

This study assessed the impact of mindful consumption on tourists’ green purchase intention and explore the mediating roles played by health consciousness, ethical self-identity, and environmental consciousness. Through an online survey, multi-source data were collected from tourists across China, and SmartPLS SEM was used for analysis to accommodate the requirements of complex models and the testing of mediating effects. The findings indicate that mindful consumption directly enhances green purchase intention and exerts an indirect effect through the mediating roles of ethical self-identity and environmental consciousness. However, the impact of health consciousness on green purchase intention was insignificant. This study is the first to link mindful consumption to tourists’ green purchasing behavior, constructing a critical framework to explore how mindful consumption influences green purchase intention. Additionally, it verifies the partial mediating roles of ethical self-identity and environmental consciousness in this process. Tourism stakeholders can utilize the proposed framework to implement strategies that promote tourists’ green purchasing behavior, therefore fostering sustainable development.
Towards Sustainable Masonry Construction Through Natural Aggregate Replacement by Fine Recycled Aggregates in Cement–Lime Mortars
Authors: Grigorjev Vadim , Azenha Miguel , De Belie Nele
Published: February 2025

Sustainable development relies on the circularity in the built environment, which, in turn, includes recycling construction and demolition waste and using recycled materials. However, using fine recycled fractions is challenging, especially considering the requirements for new building applications. Yet, producing more widely applied recycled coarse aggregates usually leads to the simultaneous generation of recycled sand fraction, which contains many fines that pose potential problems. This work presents the direct incorporation of concrete and mixed waste-based recycled sand and recycled fines in masonry mortars, on the one hand, as a complete aggregate replacement and, on the other, only replacing the finest aggregate fraction. Such mortars are assessed based on the fresh and hardened mortar properties and are compared to natural aggregate-containing mortars. In the fresh state, the mortars with recycled fines and recycled sand required more mixing water to produce comparable consistency and workability. In a hardened state, mortars with recycled mixed waste sand and fines have demonstrated increased mechanical strength compared to natural aggregate mortars. In contrast, those containing recycled concrete aggregates and fines were inferior in that regard. This indicates the potential of using recycled mixed waste fractions to improve masonry mortar performance, although both types might be important in enhancing the sustainability of masonry construction.

Published: February 2025

Accounting professionals play a pivotal role in reducing environmental impact through systems like activity-based costing (ABC). This study offers a thorough review of research on ABC and environmental impact, providing insights into the current literature and guiding future developments. It systematically reviews 58 articles published in the Web of Science from 1998 to 2023, using Excel and the R package Bibliometrix for data analysis. The findings indicate a steady increase in research on ABC and environmental impact. Key contributions highlight the advantages of ABC in minimizing environmental impact across industries such as sustainable construction, metallurgy, transportation, and manufacturing. Emerging research directions include developing costing systems to reduce environmental impact, optimizing supply chain cost management models, and applying new technologies to tackle environmental challenges in production processes. Two primary research themes, identified as “motor themes,” are crucial for advancing this field: life-cycle assessment management models, which integrate environmental factors throughout a product or service’s life cycle; and the performance and impact of environmental cost management systems, which evaluate the effectiveness of these systems in reducing ecological footprints while maintaining profitability. These areas are essential for driving future research and innovation at the intersection of cost management and environmental sustainability.
Coordination or Conflict? The Synergistic Effect and Driving Mechanism of Green Technology Innovation and Tourism Green Development
Authors: Guo Xiangyang , Mu Xueqing , Ming Qingzhong
Published: February 2025

Exploring the dynamic synergistic effect and driving mechanism of green technology innovation (GTI) and tourism green development (TGD) is of great significance for reducing the environmental footprint of tourism, enhancing the capacity of sustainable development, and promoting the practical application of green technology and industrial upgrading. This study takes 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region of China as research objects, and the time span of the study is from 2007 to 2023. The dynamic synergistic effects and driving mechanisms of GTI and tourism green development (TGD) are revealed by comprehensively adopting the coupled coordination model and panel quantile regression model. The results of this study show that (1) the average value of the coupling coordination degree (CCD) shows a small upward trend, with regional differences for Shanghai > Zhejiang > Jiangsu > Anhui. (2) High coupling coordination degree (CCD) areas are spatially concentrated in provincial capital cities, with prominent spatiotemporal heterogeneity characteristics and spatial correlation. (3) Industrial structure, human capital, and tourism resource endowment have a significant contribution to the coupling coordination degree, while informationization level and transport facilities show heterogeneous influence effects in different sub-location contexts. The level of openness and environmental regulation did not show the ‘pollution shelter’ effect, confirming ‘Porter’s hypothesis’ to some extent. (4) This study not only provides new evidence for the synergistic effect of green technological innovation and the green development of tourism, but it also provides an important reference for green technological innovation to empower the high-quality development of tourism.
Increasing Carbon Sequestration, Land-Use Efficiency, and Building Decarbonization with Short Rotation Eucalyptus
Authors: Chilton Kate , Campoe Otavio , Allan Nicholas , Hinkle Hal
Published: February 2025

Global construction activity remains the least responsive large economic sector to the exigencies of global climate change. The focus has centered on operating emissions of buildings, while upfront embodied emissions in building materials remain unabated. Softwood timber, a commonly used building material, can remove and store atmospheric carbon in buildings for decades. However, the upfront climate benefits of using softwoods in building frames are limited due to the multi-decadal growth and harvest cycles of forest plantations. The objective of this study was to demonstrate that fast-growing Eucalyptus is a superior carbon sequestration feedstock for building materials compared to slow-growing softwoods. We quantified the relative carbon benefits of Eucalyptus to a group of commonly used North American softwoods in an all-carbon-pools, risk-adjusted model that compares the net present value of carbon flows over a 100-year period. Using a novel carbon benefit multiple metric, the analysis shows that short-rotation, high-yield Eucalyptus plantations are 2.7× to 4.6× better at sequestering atmospheric carbon than softwoods, depending on the various risk perception scenarios. The results indicate that building decarbonization can be enhanced by using fast-growing and high-yielding Eucalyptus species plantations.
Nutrient Requirements in Diets: Fundamental Issues in Sustainable Aquaculture Development
Authors: Sugiura Shozo H.
Published: February 2025

The dietary requirements for essential nutrients serve as fundamental guidelines for formulating animal feeds. Insufficient intake of these nutrients can lead to biological issues, while excessive intake can result in economic inefficiencies and environmental harm. Despite their importance, these dietary requirements have not been consistently determined or reported, with data often varying across different sources, even within the same species. This paper critically examines the mechanisms behind these inconsistencies and proposes several strategies to address them. Although the primary focus is on dietary phosphorus in fish nutrition, the concepts discussed may also be relevant to other nutrients and animal species.
Optimization of Qualitative Indicators of the Machined Surface in Symmetrical Machining of TS by WEDM Technology
Authors: Straka Ľuboslav
Published: February 2025

Current approaches in the process of evaluating the quality of the machined surface during wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) generally do not include the assessment of micro- and macro-geometric indicators of both parts of the cut. In practice, however, there are specific cases when it is necessary to use both halves of the cut. In such cases, it is necessary to choose a special approach not only in the machining process but also when evaluating the quality indicators of the machined surface. Therefore, experimental measurements were aimed at the identification of these micro- and macro-geometrical indicators in symmetrical WEDM. Within them, qualitative indicators of flat and curved surfaces were assessed. The identification of individual characteristics was carried out using Suftes, Roundtest Mitutoyo, and a 3D coordinate measuring device. The design of the experiment followed the full DoE factorial design method, and the obtained results were processed using the Taguchi method. Based on the obtained results, the response of macro and micro-geometric parameters was characterized by means of multiple regression models (MRM) in symmetrically machined surfaces of tool steel EN X37CrMoV5-1 (Bohdan Bolzano, Kladno, ČR) by WEDM technology. They revealed the mutual dependence of the output qualitative indicators of the eroded area on the input variables’ main technological parameters (MTP). Subsequent multi-parameter optimization resulted in a suitable level of setting of the MTP input variable parameters I, ton, U, and toff (9 A, 32 μs, 15 μs, and 70 V), through which the greatest agreement of macro and micro-geometric output indicators of symmetrically machined surfaces can be achieved. By applying the optimized levels of MTP settings for symmetrical WEDM of tool steel EN X37CrMoV5-1, their agreement was achieved at the level of 95%.

Authors: Wang Ge , Gao Yuteng , Xu Fangqian , Sang Wenjie , Han Yue , Liu Qiang
Published: February 2025

With the advancement of machine vision technology, deep learning and image recognition have become research hotspots in the non-destructive testing of agricultural products. Moreover, using machine vision technology to identify different ripeness stages of fruits is increasingly gaining widespread attention. During the ripening process, bananas undergo significant appearance and nutrient content changes, often leading to damage and food waste. Furthermore, the transportation and sale of bananas are subject to time-related factors that can cause spoilage, necessitating that staff accurately assess the ripeness of bananas to mitigate unwarranted economic losses for farmers and the market. Considering the complexity and diversity of testing environments, the detection model should account for factors such as strong and weak lighting, image symmetry (since there will be symmetrical banana images from different angles in real scenes to ensure model stability), and other factors, while also eliminating noise interference present in the image itself. To address these challenges, we propose methods to improve banana ripeness detection accuracy under complex environmental conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved ESD-YOLOv9 model achieves high accuracy in these conditions.
Streamlined Production, Protection, and Purification of Enzyme Biocatalysts Using Virus-like Particles and a Cell-Free Protein Synthesis System

Published: February 2025

Enzymes play an essential role in many different industries; however, their operating conditions are limited due to the loss of enzyme activity in the presence of proteases and at temperatures significantly above physiological conditions. One way to improve the stability of these enzymes against high temperatures and proteases is to encapsulate them in protective shells or virus-like particles. This work presents a streamlined, three-step, cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) procedure that enables rapid in vitro enzyme production, targeted encapsulation in protective virus-like particles (VLPs), and facile purification using a 6× His-tag fused to the VLP coat protein. This process is performed in under 12 h and overcomes several limitations of enzyme encapsulation, such as the control of packing density, speed, and complexity of the process. Here, we encapsulate the enzyme Candida antarctica lipase B in the VLP from the bacteriophage Qβ, while in the presence of a linking RNA aptamer. The encapsulated enzymes largely retained their activity in comparison to the free enzymes. Additionally, when subjected to 90 °C temperatures or 5 h incubation with proteases, the encapsulated enzymes maintained their activity, whereas the free enzymes lost their activity. In this work, we also demonstrate control over packing density by achieving packing densities of 4.7 and 6.5 enzymes per VLP based off the concentration of enzyme added to the encapsulation step.

Published: February 2025

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels exhibit highly dynamic and non-stationary characteristics, posing significant challenges in designing reliable communication systems. The level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD) are two important second-order statistical properties that help characterize these rapid channel changes. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the LCR and AFD for a two-dimensional non-isotropic scattering model of a V2V Rician flat fading channel. The study investigates the influence and impact of several key parameters on LCR and AFD, focusing on the impact of high vehicle traffic density (VTD). The results closely align with available empirical data and offer valuable insights into designing robust V2V communication systems that can adapt to the rapidly evolving channel conditions.

Published: February 2025

Background: The vaccination programmes after the 2nd World War and the application of safe and effective vaccines were expected to eliminate infectious diseases within the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region. However, epidemiological indexes show isolated cases and local epidemiology outbreaks of viral measles, that draw attention to re-evaluate the effectiveness and obstacles of infectious disease eradication programmes. Methodology: This study analyses the available Polish governmental epidemiological data concerning the WHO European Region for the years 2003–2014 and evaluates the effectiveness of the WHO Measles Eradication Programme implementation, since 2001. Most of these epidemiological data are either available in Polish or scattered in governmental reports only. Thus, we have compiled selected available data to present an overview focusing on Poland’s measles epidemiological situation. Results: The analysis of the available data clearly shows that infection cases of measles are on the rise in the European Region or are steady at a relatively high level depending on the country. The critical factors to prevent measles are maintaining a vaccination level at a minimum of 95% using two doses of MMR, adequate infection detection, rapid reporting, controlling and enforcing identification, and mass media campaigns to inform societies about the necessity of measles vaccination and the safety of using MMR. Conclusions: Besides the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemics, measles is possibly the most dominating infectious disease on the rise in the European Region, including Poland. The eradication programme modifications to increase its effectiveness are of upmost importance, as measles is one of the most infectious diseases with acute syndromes, especially affecting children.
Electromagnetic Waves in Cosmological Space–Time II. Luminosity Distance
Authors: Staicova Denitsa , Stoilov Michail
Published: February 2025

In this article, we continue our investigation on how the electromagnetic waves propagate in the Friedman–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker spacetime. Unlike the standard approach, which relies on null geodesics and geometric optics approximation, we derive explicit solutions for electromagnetic waves in expanding spacetime and examine their implications for cosmological observations. In particular, our analysis reveals potential modifications to the standard luminosity distance formula. Its effect on other cosmological parameters, e.g., the amount of cold dust matter in the Universe, is considered and estimated from Type Ia supernovae data. We see that this alternative model is able to fit the supernova data, but it gives a qualitatively different Universe without a cosmological constant but with stiff or ultra-stiff matter.

Noroviruses represent one of the leading causes of outbreaks and sporadic acute gastroenteritis (AGE) cases across all age groups. Although the GII.4 norovirus has been identified as the primary cause of most AGE outbreaks, the transient predominance of other genotypes has been reported globally. In this study, we describe a multi-province AGE outbreak caused by a potential new lineage of norovirus GII.17[P17], which has been recently detected at a high incidence in the United States and Europe. An amino acid analysis of the major viral capsid protein revealed several substitutions in the hypervariable region compared to strains circulating in the mid-2010s, which could play a key role in immune evasion. This is the first report of the detection of these viruses in the Southern Hemisphere, underscoring the importance of maintaining active genomic surveillance in the context of increasing numbers of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks.

Published: February 2025

To identify measures that mitigate the impact of influenza in Latin America and the Caribbean, we compared the burden and detection capacity in humans and animals after the 2009 pandemic. The incidence rate in people was higher in Chile (23.72 per 100,000 people), but the impact was greater for Guatemala (503.78 disability-adjusted life years per 100,000 people). Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Mexico built better medical testing, with typing being less frequent in Chile and Argentina, where costs for medical care were higher. The positivity rate among avian and nonhuman mammals was 5.8%, with more cases in Mexico, but constant testing in Chile. H5N1, H5N2, and H7N6 are deadly to poultry, whereas H1N1 is common in swine, and H3N8 in equines. By June 2023, H5N1 had caused severe influenza in two persons and killed millions of birds and hundreds of mammals with aquatic lifestyles. An analysis of the efforts in response to this outbreak revealed that handling of outbreaks in animals needs homogeneity and reinforcement of vaccination. Surveillance in exposed individuals requires articulation of medical and animal health authorities, and the region also demands decentralized typing and networks for genomic characterization.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the role of emerged vegetation in enhancing the performance of submerged spur dikes for better flow control and bank protection in river systems. The research utilizes a numerical model based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), validated with experimental data. After validation, the study explores various configurations of vegetated spur dike, adjusting the submergence heights of the impermeable spur dike to achieve porosity ranging from fully impermeable to highly porous. Porosity levels of 24%, 48%, and 72% were chosen based on the spur dike height and the effectiveness of staggered vegetation arrangements in maximizing drag and reducing velocity. This approach aims to determine their impact on flow structure, velocity, and turbulence characteristics. The results reveal that impermeable dikes create strong recirculation zones downstream, increasing the potential for bank erosion. Introducing vegetation on the dike, particularly at moderate porosities (24% and 48%), effectively disrupts this behavior by reducing downstream velocity and mitigating mass and momentum exchange concentration between the spur dike field and the mainstream. However, the highest porosity case (72%) offered reduced flow resistance, limiting its protective effectiveness. Analysis of velocity and stress distributions showed that vegetation porosity significantly impacts normal and shear stresses, influencing flow stability at critical points around the spur dike. The findings signify the potential of integrating vegetation into spur dike designs to achieve a balance between effective flow conveyance and erosion control even in the spur dike submergence condition. This approach can outperform conventional emerged impermeable spur dikes, as supported by previous studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of porous and vegetated structures in reducing flow resistance, minimizing stagnation zones, and improving sediment deposition compared to impermeable designs.

Published: February 2025

As global advancements accelerate, modernisation and technological developments are transforming the ocean sector, bringing new opportunities while also posing significant challenges. Nevertheless, these developments have exposed gaps in the existing legal framework of ocean governance—the law of the sea—which has yet to fully address many emerging complexities and new frontiers. Addressing these gaps requires rigorous gap analyses and collaborative discourse. To this end, the 11th Ocean Law and Governance International Symposium, themed “New Frontiers and the Law of the Sea”, was held in Dalian, China, on 27–28 September 2024, in a hybrid format—online and offline. The event was co-hosted by the School of Law and the National Institute of Ocean Governance at Dalian Maritime University, with support from Zhejiang University and the Chinese Society of the Law of the Sea. The symposium brought together 22 experts and scholars from around the world to discuss critical topics, including high seas and seabed governance, climate litigation, digitalisation, law enforcement, and pressing issues, such as BBNJ and MPP. The symposium provided essential interdisciplinary legal insights, laying a robust foundation for fostering new discourse in the academic arena, which, in turn, advances future research while informing the development of marine policies aimed at achieving sustainable ocean governance. This study critically evaluates whether the symposium successfully bridged gaps in the existing academic landscape and explores whether it offers a way forward for addressing the challenges associated with new frontiers and the law of the sea. Through empirical legal analysis, this study aims to assess the impact of the symposium in promoting further discussions and policy innovations necessary to meet evolving ocean governance needs.
A Hydraulic Turbine Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Synchrosqueezed Wavelet Transform and SE-ResNet
Authors: Liu Ye , Xu Yanhe , Liu Jie , Niu Xinqiang
Published: February 2025

To tackle the challenges associated with conventional methods of diagnosing hydraulic turbine faults, which depend heavily on expert knowledge and exhibit low efficiency and precision, a model for detecting hydraulic turbine faults has been developed that integrates the synchrosqueezed wavelet transform (SWT) with SE-ResNet. Initially, a 1D non-stationary vibration signal is converted into a high-frequency time–frequency representation in two dimensions using SWT, which then acts as the input for the convolutional neural network. Secondly, a model based on SE-ResNet is designed, incorporating an attention mechanism that enhances the extraction of features from two-dimensional images, thereby increasing the emphasis on crucial features and bolstering the model’s representation capabilities. Finally, results related to fault detection are produced via the softmax layer. To evaluate the proposed model’s efficiency, two datasets were utilized for the experiments conducted, one sourced from Case Western Reserve University and the other from hydraulic turbine vibration signals. Compared to conventional approaches, this technique demonstrates significant practicality and effective convergence characteristics, offering considerable value in real-world applications.

Published: February 2025

The automotive industry is experiencing a period of transition from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles. Although electric machines have always been used in many applications, they are generally designed neglecting the sources of uncertainty, even such uncertainty can lead to significant deterioration of the motor performance. The aim of this paper is to compare the results obtained from the multi-objective optimization of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) using a robust approach versus a deterministic one. Unlike other studies in the literature, this research simultaneously considers different sources of uncertainty, such as geometric parameters, magnet properties, and operating temperature, to assess the variability of electric motor performance. Different designs of a 48 slot–8 pole motor are simulated with finite element analysis, then the outputs are used to train artificial neural networks that are employed to find the optimal design with different approaches. The method incorporates an innovative use of the neural network-based variance estimation (NNVE) technique to efficiently calculate the standard deviation of the objective functions. Finally, the results of the robust optimization are compared with those of the deterministic optimization. Due to the small margin of improvement in robustness, both methods lead to similar results.

Published: February 2025

This paper explores the potential of Airborne Wind Energy Systems to revolutionize wind energy generation, demonstrating advancements over current methods. Through a series of controlled field experiments and the application of classical machine learning techniques, we achieved significant improvements in tether force estimation. Our XGBoost model, for example, demonstrated a notable reduction in error in predicting the tether force that can be extracted at a particular location, with a root mean square error of 52.3 Newtons and a mean absolute error of 32.1 Newtons, coupled with a R2 error, which measures the proportion of variance explained by the model, achieved an impressive value of 0.93. These findings not only validate the effectiveness of our proposed methods but also illustrate their potential to optimize the deployment of Airborne Wind Energy Systems, thereby maximizing energy output and contributing to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. By analyzing key input features such as wind speed and kite dynamics, our model predicts optimal locations for Airborne Wind Energy System installation, offering a promising alternative to traditional wind turbines.
Environmental Psychology and Mangrove Reforestation in the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, Colombia: An Approach to Ecosystem Restoration
Authors: Ruiz-Guevara Sandra Milena , Quintero-Castañeda Cristian Yoel , Hernández-Angulo Luis Roberto , Sierra-Carrillo María Margarita
Published: February 2025

Ecosystem restoration success heavily depends on community participation, yet the psychological factors influencing local commitment and sense of ownership in mangrove conservation remain understudied. The Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (CGSM), Colombia, represents a critical case where community engagement is essential for successful mangrove restoration. This study investigates the relationship between environmental psychology and community participation in mangrove reforestation, focusing on identifying key psychosocial factors and barriers that influence participation in ecosystem restoration. Through a mixed-method approach involving quantitative surveys (n = 100), semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions, the research examined psychosocial factors and participation indicators using correlation and regression analyses. Results revealed a strong emotional connection to the mangrove ecosystem (r = 0.62, p < 0.01) and predominantly positive attitudes toward conservation (85% of participants). Social norms showed a significant influence on participation (r = 0.56, p < 0.01), with social norms and community sense explaining 64% of participation variance (adjusted r2 = 0.64, F(3,96) = 58.92, p < 0.001). However, low perceived self-efficacy emerged as a significant barrier, present in 40% of participants. The findings suggest that interventions strengthening self-efficacy and promoting community commitment could significantly increase reforestation participation. Success depends on integrating technical training with psychosocial support and establishing appropriate logistical frameworks. These findings provide practical guidelines for designing more effective community-based restoration programs in similar socio-ecological contexts.

War journalism in the digital age: The interaction between professionals and user-generated content
Authors: Lysenko Lesia
Published: February 2025

The research aims to study the attitudes of professional journalists to user-generated audiovisual content and to understand its role in war coverage. A cross-sectional study was used to answer the research questions using a mixed-methods approach. The approach incorporated a close-ended questionnaire and in-depth interviews with 12 professional journalists. The findings showed that user-generated audiovisual content is widely used in war journalism to complement news stories, fact-checking, publishing, research, and real-time reporting. Telegram and Facebook are extensively utilised to source user-generated audiovisual content. To verify user-generated audiovisual content, consulting with experts, cross-referencing official sources, geolocation, reverse image search, and implementation of visual verification platforms are used. Both benefits and challenges characterise user-generated audiovisual content. For example, these benefits include enhancement of the ability to cover stories in inaccessible areas, providing unique perspectives on events, more effective engagement with the audience, and seeding up the news. At the same time, the findings showed that most participants face difficulties verifying the authenticity of user-generated audiovisual content, particularly challenges in maintaining professional standards, technical problems, the necessity to verify the authenticity, and the use of sensitive content. The recommendations on integrating user-generated audiovisual content in war news reporting were developed to maximise the effect of user-generated audiovisual content. Some include using user-generated audiovisual content to report on war zones, avoiding user-generated content as the sole source, implementing legal standards for using user-generated content, avoiding misinterpretation, introducing fact-checking tools, and assessing source credibility. The outcomes can be implied in journalism, media studies, and conflict reporting.

Hematoma intestinal pós-traumático: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Botelho Matheus Henrique Santana , Ferreira Rodrigo Costa , Ferreira Lucas , Cruz Vinicius Machado Bringel de Castro , Vicentine Pedro Carlline Barroso , Mendes Luis Miguel Carvalho
Published: February 2025

Este artigo oferece uma revisão abrangente sobre hematomas intestinais pós-traumáticos, com foco na classificação e manejo clínico dessas lesões. Os hematomas intestinais, especialmente no duodeno e intestino delgado, são condições raras mas clinicamente significativas que podem resultar de traumas abdominais contusos ou iatrogênicos. A classificação das lesões em graus de severidade auxilia na escolha entre abordagem conservadora e intervenção cirúrgica. O manejo conservador é frequentemente adequado para hematomas menores e estáveis, enfatizando a observação clínica e suporte nutricional. No entanto, intervenções cirúrgicas tornam-se necessárias em casos de obstrução persistente, isquemia ou perfuração. A importância de um diagnóstico precoce, utilizando técnicas de imagem avançadas como a tomografia computadorizada, é destacada para diferenciar entre lesões tratáveis de forma conservadora e aquelas que requerem cirurgia. Complicações potenciais, como obstrução intestinal alta ou baixa, sepse por translocação bacteriana e instabilidade hemodinâmica, são discutidas, reforçando a necessidade de vigilância clínica rigorosa e acompanhamento a longo prazo. A revisão da literatura existente fornece uma base sólida para o desenvolvimento de diretrizes clínicas mais eficazes, personalizadas para as necessidades específicas de cada paciente, e sublinha a importância de uma abordagem multidisciplinar para otimizar os resultados clínicos.
Um estudo comparativo: consórcio e financiamento imobiliário no cenário pós pandemia da COVID-19
Authors: Carvalho Bruno Santos de , Moraes Roberto Costa
Published: February 2025

Este estudo examinou as possibilidades de investimento na busca por um imóvel próprio e suas implicações na gestão financeira das famílias brasileiras, com foco em comparar as modalidades de consórcio e financiamento imobiliário como alternativas para a aquisição de imóveis no cenário pós pandemia da COVID-19, verificando junto aos estudos já publicados se houve alteração nos produtos para compra da tão sonhada casa própria. No contexto econômico atual, onde as taxas de juros e as condições de mercado variam significativamente, é crucial entender qual modalidade oferece maior vantagem e segurança para o planejamento habitacional, e entender se após a pandemia o cenário para essas aquisições continua o mesmo, como mostrado em estudos anteriores sobre os produtos citados. O estudo utilizou uma abordagem qualitativa descritiva e também comparativa, baseada em revisão de literatura e dados coletados de administradoras de consórcio e instituições financeiras. Os resultados indicaram que não houveram alterações significativas nos produtos pesquisados, pois os consórcios, apesar de oferecerem um planejamento de pagamento sem juros, envolvem ajustes anuais que podem aumentar o custo total, enquanto os financiamentos proporcionam acesso imediato ao imóvel, mas com juros acumulados ao longo do tempo. As conclusões sugerem que a escolha entre consórcio e financiamento deve considerar não apenas os custos iniciais e totais, mas também as necessidades imediatas de habitação e a capacidade de planejamento financeiro a longo prazo do comprador.
“Conheceis a verdade” na ilha da fantasia das mídias digitais
Authors: Oliveira Glauco Antonio Rosa de
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo elaborado atraves de bibliografias de pensadores contemporâneos tais como: Fergunson, Foer, Arendt, D’Ancona, Bauman, Marmion, Chomsky, Hadot. Tem como objetivo central apresentar os riscos do empoderamento virtual das redes sociais na era da pós-verdade. Com advento da internet, mídias digitais e a comunicação de massas, as “BullShits” veio para colocar nossa democracia em cheque. Os mitos mais perigosos que afligem a nossa época advêm historicamente, da insistência de que existe um abismo intransponível entre elite intelectual e “supereducada” e as “pessoas comuns”. Essa divisão, comum para os conservadores da virada do séc XIX para o séc XX, dá lugar hoje ao conceito de “homem comum”, adotado pelo nazifascismo e repetido nos últimos anos na retorica da direita populista, embora não se restrinja a ela. A ascensão da verdade como força coesiva na atividade cientifica, jurídica, política, social e comercial foi um feito gradual e conquistado a muito custo. Além disso, é uma moeda única, cujo valor é determinado pelo grau em que é defendida em cada uma dessas esferas interligadas. Pobre da serpente que deu ao homem – sociedade – fruto proibido (a razão e a consciência) e hoje não usamos tal fruto com o devido cuidado. Aqueles que supõem despreocupadamente que seu ameaçado colapso no mundo político não terá desdobramentos no resto da sociedade civil podem se preparar para o pior.

В статье рассматривается внедрение дополнительного оборудования для подачи воды, размещенного на передней части пожарного автомобиля, способствующее повышению эффективности борьбы с пожарами на открытых территориях. Проведенный анализ подтверждает техническую возможность интеграции данного оборудования в существующие пожарные машины без значительных изменений конструкции. Предложенное решение расширяет возможности пожарного автомобиля, например, становится доступность подачи огнетушащих веществ на ходу, что может быть полезно при маневрировании и тушении природных пожаров.

The article discusses the implementation of additional water supply equipment located on the front of a fire truck, which helps to increase the effectiveness of firefighting in open areas. The analysis confirms the technical feasibility of integrating this equipment into existing fire trucks without significant design changes. The proposed solution expands the capabilities of the fire truck, for example, it becomes possible to supply fire extinguishing agents on the move, which can be useful when maneuvering and extinguishing wildfires.
Критический анализ работоспособности гидроэлеваторных систем, применяемых для забора воды пожарной техникой

Published: February 2025

Профессорско-преподавательский состав Сибирской пожарно-спасательной академии ГПС МЧС России продолжает исследования в области организации бесперебойной подачи огнетушащих веществ на месте тушения пожара и при ликвидации последствий чрезвычайных ситуаций. В настоящей статье подвергнута критическому анализу действующая методика расчета работоспособности гидроэлеваторной системы, применяемой для забора воды пожарными насосами в случае, когда «классический» вариант (с использованием всасывающей линии) не эффективен. Установлено, что при напоре за гидроэлеватором 17 м (с учетом указанной производительности 600 л/мин) рассмотренная авторами схема является неработоспособной (даже без учета гидравлического сопротивления напорно-всасывающего рукава, используемого в конце напорной рукавной линии).

The teaching staff of the Siberian Fire and Rescue Academy of the State Fire and Rescue Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia continues research in the field of organization of uninterrupted supply of fire extinguishing agents at the scene of fire extinguishing and during the elimination of emergency situations. In this article critically analyzed the current method of calculating the performance of the hydro-elevator system used for water intake by fire pumps in the case where the “classical” version (using the suction line) is not effective. It is established that at a head behind the hydraulic elevator 17 m (taking into account the specified capacity of 600 l/min), the scheme considered by the authors is inoperable (even without taking into account the hydraulic resistance of the pressure-suction hose used at the end of the pressure hose line).
