Leveraging spatial data infrastructure for disaster risk reduction
Authors: Tatenda Manyuchi  , Philip Taru  , Geofrey Mukwada
Published: February 2025

The systematic review approach revealed that location-based decision making allows for structured approach to prioritization of disaster response and recovery by disaster management practitioners. The Yokohama Strategy called for the use of information across national, regional and international scales for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), while Priority Action 1f of the Sendai Framework called for the use of “real time access to reliable data, make use of space and in situ information, including geographic information systems (GIS), and use information and communications technology innovations to enhance measurement tools and the collection, analysis and dissemination of data.” The bibliometric review of the role of SDI in the management of natural disasters revealed that interest is shifting from mark-up languages and sensors to web services and data integration. The efficiency of operational SDI driven DRR is a function of the availability of relevant and up-to-date information. Though there are technological limitations in developing countries in Africa, there is an urgent need to increase uptake and implementation of SDIs drawing lessons from the SDI-East Africa and the global community.

Abstract: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic, progressive, irreversible, fibrotic interstitial lung disease with high mortality. Ginsenoside Re (G-Re) is one of the active components of ginseng, which has been proven to possess multiple pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Thus, G-Re is considered a potential therapeutic agent for treating PF. The present study explored the protective mechanisms of G-Re against bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF in mice and its potential as a therapeutic strategy for PF. A mouse model of BLM-induced PF was utilized to assess the effect of G-Re treatment, with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) set as a positive control agent. Various parameters such as lung function, histopathological changes, oxidative stress markers, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation and its related protein expressions, including Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1), and ferroptosis signature protein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were evaluated. Continuous administration of G-Re for 14 days significantly reduced lung injury, enhanced antioxidant capacity, activated the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway, and inhibited ferroptosis as evidenced by GPX4. Additionally, G-Re treatment reduced collagen deposition, improved pulmonary function, and alleviated oxidative stress in the lung tissue of PF mice. These findings demonstrate that G-Re exerts its therapeutic effects against PF by modulating the Nrf2/Keap1/GPX4 axis and targeting oxidative stress and ferroptosis pathways, highlighting the potential of G-Re as a pharmacological intervention for PF and providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying its protective effects.
Epistocracy and the Problem of Political Capture
Authors: Gibbons Adam F.
Published: February 2025

Concerned about the harmful effects of pervasive political ignorance, epistocrats argue that we should amplify the political power of politically knowledgeable citizens. But their proposals have been widely criticized on the grounds that they are susceptible to manipulation and abuse. Instead of empowering the knowledgeable, incumbents who control epistocratic institutions are likely to selectively empower their supporters, thereby increasing their share of power. Call this the problem of political capture. In this paper, I argue for two claims. First, I claim that the problem of political capture for epistocracy has been overstated. Incumbents who want to increase their share of power will encounter certain obstacles that complicate the task of capturing the system. Second, however, I claim that if the problem is nevertheless sufficiently serious, it militates against not just epistocracy, but also many other institutions. The problem of political capture is thus far wider than typically recognized.
The Crossing Itineraries of John of Capestrano and John Hunyadi, 1455–1456
Authors:   Facultatea de Litere, Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca, Damian Iulian Mihai
Published: February 2025

The present article reconstructs from a comparative perspective the itineraries of John Hunyadi and the Franciscan John of Capestrano (1386–1456), from their encounter in Győr (June 1455) to the death of the former governor in Zemun, near Belgrade, on 11 August 1456. The older scholarship on the subject is integrated with fresh information from new editions of Capestrano’s correspondence, Franciscan sources left unexplored by historical research, and a closer examination of the already-known documentation. The result is a much clearer and more coherent picture of the itineraries of the two historical figures, which modifies or completes the data already known. The comparative perspective, which emphasizes the relations between the two leaders, proves particularly useful for the periods when their itineraries overlap, such as during their joint journey through the eastern and the southern regions of the Hungarian kingdom (December 1455-January 1456), which has allowed the identification of stops that were previously unknown (such as Turda and Hațeg). The extraordinary mobility of the two personalities and the need to organize truly mobile “chancelleries” are discussed in the same comparative key. From a methodological point of view, the study is intended as a reflection on the need to overcome the limitations of the biographical approach in studying itineraries, especially by integrating contemporary tools from the digital humanities.
A Survey of Accounting Department Leaders Dealing with Faculty Summer Compensation
Authors: Bouillon Marvin , Box Abby
Published: February 2025

A survey link for a 26-question Qualtrics online survey was sent to 580 accounting program leaders, of which 183 responses were received. Primary information was collected on AACSB accreditation, type of university (public or private), and type and size of academic programs (Ph.D., Master’s, and Undergraduate). Additionally, data was collected on summer research funding for new hires and summer compensation for teaching. The survey also collected information about the likelihood that a tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty member would teach based on summer compensation. The regression models showed that a school with a Ph.D. program was likelier to pay a more significant percentage of the base salary for summer research or summer compensation for teaching a class. When a regression was run to predict the likelihood of teaching during the summer, the research funding variable was negatively associated (p < 0.01) with the possibility of a tenure track person teaching a class. In contrast, the summer teaching compensation was positively related to the likelihood of the tenure track (p < 0.01) and non-tenure track (p < 0.05) faculty teaching a summer course. A summary of the survey data was provided in table format.
Financial Security and Retirement Saving Motivators: Evidence from US Households
Authors: Serrano Jan , DeVincenzo Marie , Lawrimore-Belanger Kay
Published: February 2025

Over the years, changes in the employee retirement benefits offered by companies have shifted the responsibility to employees for building and managing their retirement savings.  It has become increasingly clear that many individuals in the US are not saving adequately for retirement. This study, based on a nationwide survey, explores the retirement planning decisions of 325 participants of various socio-economic and demographic groups. An overarching theme throughout the various survey responses seems to be that those individuals who have access to a retirement plan at work are more engaged in the process of retirement planning than those who do not have access to a plan at work. Survey respondents, across all groups, appear to value personalized service, even for groups that prefer a computer or mobile interface to manage or monitor their investments. Write-in responses to open-ended questions about what would motivate respondents to save more for retirement indicate that both Gen X and Millennials value more education about investments and products or services designed to mitigate investment losses. These results have important implications for government agencies and financial service firms looking for ways to encourage individuals to save more for retirement.

Harnessing Green Investments for Sustainable Prosperity and the Role of Renewable Energy in Driving Economic Growth and Development in South Asia
Authors: Abdullah Majid , Ahmed Shakeel
Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of renewable energy investments on economic growth in South Asia, a region grappling with rapid economic expansion and environmental degradation due to heavy reliance on fossil fuels. This paper employs panel data from 1998 to 2022 and 15 emerging countries to examine the nexus between RE consumption, economic growth, CO2 emissions, and energy access using GMM and fixed-effects models. These findings suggest that increasing 1% of renewable energy consumption will increase GDP by 0.072%, while increasing 1% of CO2 emissions will reduce GDP by 0.3%. Besides, renewable energy investments are expected to contribute to the generation of 2.98 million green job opportunities by 2035. The study shows that renewable energy can decrease emissions, increase energy security, and create jobs. Nevertheless, there are limitations like capital-intensive requirements and a lack of proper infrastructure and policies that have to be overcome. Therefore, the study supports the proposition that the sustainable development of renewable energy in South Asia depends on considerable policy intervention, technological improvement, and investment in infrastructure.
Effekt av olika gräsarter och sorter på mjölkavkastning
Authors: Danielsson Dan-Axel , Sousa Dannylo , Takahashi Schmidt Junko , Larsson Annie , Nadeau Elisabet
Published: February 2025

På Lantmännens försöksgård Viken utfodrades 48 mjölkkor fyra olika foderstater där grovfodret bestod antingen av hundäxing (Dactylis glomerata) av sorten Swante, ängssvingel (Festuca pratensis) av sorten Tored eller timotej (Phleum pratense L.) av sorterna Ragnar eller Switch. Inga skillnader i mjölkavkastning, eller mjölkens sammansättning kunde konstateras, men det var brister i foderregistreringen som gör att inga säkra slutsatser kan dras av försöket.

Försöket bidrar ändå med kunskap genom att ett stort antal analyser utförts som kan vara en referens till andra studier. Särskilt är analyserna av ligninkomponenter och hydroxykanelsyror ovanliga och ger värdefull kunskap.

Ett intressant resultat är att sammansättningen av de lättlösliga kolhydraterna skiljer sig mellan timotej och de andra gräsen. Förhållandet mellan glukos och fruktos är ungefär 50/50 medan det var betydligt högre andel fruktos i hundäxing och ängssvingel.

Published: February 2025

Energy policies, subsidies, and tariffs play a critical role in shaping the dynamics of global energy markets by influencing production costs, market competitiveness, and consumption patterns. This study evaluates the economic effects of these mechanisms, focusing on their impact on market efficiency, energy affordability, and environmental sustainability. By integrating economic theory with empirical analysis, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how policy instruments shape market behaviors and outcomes. The study begins by examining the objectives and design of energy policies, including subsidies for renewable energy, tariffs on imported fossil fuels, and carbon pricing mechanisms. It highlights the trade-offs inherent in policy decisions, such as balancing energy security, economic growth, and environmental protection. Using a combination of econometric modeling and case studies, the research assesses the short-term and long-term economic impacts of these measures on market participants, including producers, consumers, and investors. The findings reveal that subsidies for renewable energy sources, while promoting clean energy adoption, may distort market competition and burden public finances if not carefully structured. Similarly, tariffs on energy imports can protect domestic industries but risk escalating trade tensions and increasing costs for end-users. Carbon pricing, as a market-based instrument, is shown to effectively incentivize emission reductions but requires robust implementation frameworks to avoid adverse economic impacts. This study also explores regional variations in the effects of energy policies, emphasizing the importance of local market conditions, energy resource availability, and regulatory environments. The analysis underscores the role of international cooperation and harmonized policy frameworks in mitigating negative spillover effects across markets. Ultimately, the research highlights the need for data-driven, adaptive policy design to ensure equitable and sustainable outcomes. By evaluating the economic consequences of energy policies, subsidies, and tariffs, this study provides actionable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers. The findings contribute to ongoing efforts to create energy markets that are resilient, efficient, and aligned with global sustainability goals, while addressing the diverse needs of stakeholders in an evolving energy landscape.

Understanding Climate Skepticism: A Rhetorical Analysis of Climate Communication by PiS, AfD, and SD
Authors:   The University of Bristol, Lewis Morgan
Published: February 2025

Two major global challenges of recent decades are climate change and populism. While there is a strong scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change, social science research highlights how climate change and policy reforms have provoked significant backlash within populist discourse. Despite the clear intersection of these phenomena and the threats they pose to modern democracy, limited literature explores this relationship. This article examines the mechanisms by which right-wing populist (RWP) parties promote climate skepticism or hostility to climate policies. Focusing on the Law and Justice Party (PiS) in Poland, the Sweden Democrats (SD), and Alternative for Germany (AfD), this study conducts a rhetorical analysis of their climate communication to investigate how RWP positions align with shifting ideological and electoral contexts. The research employs Scott Consigny’s (1974) rhetorical situation framework and integrates Wodak’s (2015) interdisciplinary approach to populism, establishing a novel methodology for analyzing populist rhetoric. Findings reveal that RWP parties deploy rhetorical strategies such as framing an antagonism between the “elite” and “the people,” prioritizing national self-interest over climate concerns, and using anti-intellectual rhetoric. However, notable differences in rhetorical strategies emerge among the parties due to varying ideological and political contexts, demonstrating the adaptability of populist rhetoric around its ideological ‘center’. This study highlights the interplay between ideological and rhetorical facets of populism in shaping climate communication. By offering a nuanced understanding of how RWP parties engage with climate discourse across contexts, this research provides a foundation for further exploration of climate communication within populist narratives.

The Need for Access to Judicial Information and Its Impact on Society
Authors: Mohammadi Fathullah
Published: February 2025

Access to judicial information in Afghanistan is highly limited due to the absence of a dedicated law addressing this issue. Thus, I decided to conduct research on this topic, titled "The Need for Access to Judicial Information and Its Impact on Society", to shed light on its ambiguous aspects. The significance of this topic is evident, as individuals encounter numerous challenges in daily life, some of which are personal, while others are societal. Among societal challenges, certain issues cannot be resolved without a judicial ruling.
For instance, when disputes arise between individuals, where each party claims their right to the disputed matter, the judge must determine who is entitled and who is not. However, some individuals do not accept the judicial ruling, prompting the government to intervene and enforce the decision using its authority to resolve the issue.
To ensure the validity of claims and for judicial decisions to be transparent, just, and trustworthy in the light of Sharia law, it is essential that people are informed about these proceedings. This information and awareness have significant positive effects on society, steering it toward constructive change. These benefits have been thoroughly explored in the thesis's discussions and text.
Based on this foundation, this research delves into the definition, types, historical background, principles, and boundaries of judicial information; the methods for accessing such information; its necessity, limitations, and benefits.
In the absence of judicial information, trust in the fairness and legitimacy of judicial decisions cannot be established. The right to access information is enshrined in both national and international legal frameworks. Methods of accessing judicial information include attending court sessions, taking notes during sessions, recording audio, filming, and interviewing judges.
I conducted this research using explanatory, inductive, and library-based methodologies. In collecting topics, I first prioritized utilizing credible sources, and where such sources were unavailable, I referred to alternative references.
At the conclusion of this research, I examined the definition, types, history, methods of access, necessity, limitations, and benefits of judicial information. Additionally, the presence of judicial information in national and international documents was clarified, as well as its impact on Afghan society.

In some modern digital image processing systems, different machine learning and high-level processing algorithms are being developed. A researcher can obtain high-quality thematic results by correctly and optimally determining the parameter values in the algorithm based on his or her own knowledge. This research aims to perform a land cover classification using a machine learning random forest (RF) classification algorithm on the SNAP Toolbox system and demonstrate how to adjust the classification parameters for efficient decision-making. In order to increase the classification accuracy, the study uses 3 different combinations of the integrated optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data sets. The area in the southern part of Ulaanbaatar, the capital city, was selected as a test area for the study, and the land cover was classified into 6 different classes, such as the built-up area, forest, willow, grass, open land, and water. In the RF technique, the number of signatures were set as 5000, 10000, and 15000 and the related number of decision trees as 10, 50, and 100, respectively. As could be seen from the results of the study, the classification results of the combined multisource data sets had higher overall accuracies, and the result of 11 bands with the number of signatures set to 15000 and the decision trees set to 100, had the highest overall accuracy (92.68%).
