Specific Emitter Identification Method for Limited Samples via Time–Wavelet Spectrum Consistency
Authors: Tang Chunyang , Lian Jing , Zheng Li , Gao Rui
Published: January 2025

Specific emitter identification (SEI) is a technique that identifies the emitter through physical layer features contained in radio signals, and it is widely used in tasks such as identifying illegal transmitters and authentication. Thanks to the development of deep learning, SEI tasks based on deep learning have achieved significant improvements in recognition performance. However, illegal transmitters often broadcast for short durations and at low frequencies, resulting in very limited available training samples. In such cases, directly training deep learning models may lead to underfitting issues, thereby reducing recognition accuracy. In this paper, to address the issue of traditional methods struggling to classify transmitters when there is a scarcity of emitter samples and limited training data, we propose a method based on TFC-CNN. We propose a TFC-CNN method. Specifically, we first use continuous wavelet transform (CWT) as a data augmentation method to construct time–wavelet spectrum sample pairs. Then, we use complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) and deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) to extract the hidden emitter identity features from the time and wavelet spectrum samples. We train the model using the normalized temperature-scaled cross-entropy (NT-Xent) loss and cross-entropy (CE) loss, ensuring the consistency of feature vector distributions across the two modalities with cosine loss. Finally, we fine-tune the model to achieve SEI tasks with few samples. Experimental results on open-source WiFi datasets and automatic dependent surveillance–broadcast (ADS-B) datasets show that our proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods. With only 5% of the training samples, the recognition accuracy for the ADS-B test dataset is 84.10%, and for the WiFi test dataset, it is 96.99%.

Published: January 2025

Food security is an immensely complex issue connected to global food production and supply systems. One of the key challenges is to provide sufficient, safe, and nutritionally balanced food for everyone on the planet. It is closely linked to many factors including population growth, poverty, economic stability, and environmental sustainability. Currently, the world population is growing at an unprecedented rate, placing immense pressure on food production systems. Thus, meeting the increasing demand for food presents a significant challenge for the current global agriculture and food systems. The World Food Program reported that over 345 million people faced high levels of food insecurity in 2023. Additionally, 2 billion people are living with micronutrient deficiencies (such as vitamin A, iron, and iodine). Over time, a severely restricted food intake can cause malnutrition and reduce the lifespan. On the other hand, nearly 2 billion adults worldwide are overweight or obese. Global emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic and war zones have complicated the situation and resulted in increased hunger, lower immunity, increased infectious disease, and increased rates of early mortality. Furthermore, climate changes are disrupting traditional growing seasons, increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, and posing a serious threat to crop yields. This scenario warrants adaptation of sustainable and resilient agriculture and food systems is crucial for improved and sustainable food security.

Authors: Polukhina Anna , Sheresheva Marina , Napolskikh Dmitry , Lezhnin Vladimir
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the role of digital economy tools, including big data, mobile applications, e-commerce, and sharing economy platforms, in the sustainable development of the tourism sector. The focus is on studying how the digital economy tools can contribute to more efficient and sustainable tourism services, to service quality improvement, to reducing the negative environmental impact, and thus increase the availability of tourism resources in local destinations. Using the example of the successful use of digital technologies in Russian regions, this paper discusses the introduction of online platforms for booking services, the use of mobile applications for navigation and obtaining information about tourist sites, as well as the use of digital tools for predicting consumer preferences. A systematic approach to the analysis of tourism services digitalization, based on a set of technical and functional–digital indicators, allowed us to evaluate the impact of the digitalization level on the local destination’s sustainable development in transition economy conditions. The proposed methodology for assessing and applying tourism services digitalization tools in Russian regions takes into account the transition economy specifics and aims to promote more sustainable practices. This study will add to the existing literature by defining both technical and functional criteria for the implementation of digital technologies as tools for the creation of new business models in tourism, and the development of a tourism services digitalization model, based on the assessment of the regional digitalization level, to ensure the movement towards achieving sustainable development goals in local destinations.

Authors: Misa Rafał , Sroka Anton , Mrocheń Dawid
Published: January 2025

While the cessation of underground mining operations reduces immediate risks to surface structures, it does not fully eliminate long-term surface hazards, which can hinder the sustainable development of post-mining communities. This study presents a combination of analytical and practical methods to quantitatively assess these persistent hazards, focusing on three critical areas: the risk of surface instability from discontinuous phenomena at shallow road headings, the progression of subsidence after mining has ceased, and surface uplift due to rising mine water levels. By providing practical examples, this research highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and hazard assessment to support sustainable land use in former mining regions. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of post-mining environmental impacts, offering valuable insights into mitigating surface risks that can influence local sustainability efforts. This study supports the global drive toward sustainable development by addressing the long-term effects of resource extraction on land stability and community resilience.

Authors: Moosavi Seyedeh Maryam , Cornadó Còssima , Askarizad Reza
Published: January 2025

This research investigates the relationship between socio-cultural reflections of residents and spatial diversity in historic Persian residential architecture. Despite the rich architectural heritage of Persian houses, there is limited understanding of how residents’ socio-cultural background influences their spatial arrangements. To address this gap, this study employs space syntax analysis, including axial, visibility graph analysis (VGA), agent-based analysis, and isovist approaches, to explore the genotype of 15 recognized Persian historic residential architectures. The findings reveal that the spatial configurations of these houses are deeply rooted in socio-cultural values, reflecting the diverse societal roles of residents. Variations in spatial arrangements highlight the adaptability of Persian historical houses in balancing privacy and sociability, influenced by the socio-cultural attributes of their occupants. The study also emphasizes the significance of transitional spaces in controlling social interactions with strangers to support cultural practices. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a syntactic analysis of the socio-cultural underpinnings of Persian architectural typologies, offering insights that extend beyond Shiraz to the broader central Iranian context. The study concludes by advocating for practical policy implications and culturally rooted architectural design guidelines for Iranian construction engineering organizations to implement in their housing design projects. These insights can ultimately inform the development of contemporary housing in Iran, fostering a new wave of housing that is both culturally resonant and functionally innovative, while supporting socially sustainable living environments.
Exploring Spatial–Temporal Coupling and Its Driving Factors of Cultural and Tourism Industry in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Urban Agglomeration, China
Authors: Du Huifang , Liu Jianguo
Published: January 2025

This study focuses on the 13 cities within the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration, developing a sophisticated rating index system grounded in a factor–environment–effect framework to assess the coupling and coordinated development of the cultural and tourism industries across the region, alongside their spatiotemporal evolution dynamics. The study further delves into the internal constraints and external driving forces, aiming to identify the current state and key bottlenecks of regional cultural–tourism integration. The findings indicate that: (1) On the whole, the cultural and tourism industries in the region exhibit a fluctuating yet upward trajectory, with a robust coupling between the two systems. The coupling coordination has transitioned from the “uncoordinated state” to the “transition stage”. (2) Regionally, the degree of coupling coordination evolves from “uncoordinated” to “coordinated”. Cities have progressively advanced in their coupling coordination levels and shown certain spatial clustering characteristics. Based on the evolving types of coupling coordination, six distinct patterns are identified. Beijing and Tianjin have emerged as models of synchronized cultural–tourism development, while cities in Hebei are increasingly shifting toward a tourism-prioritized development model. (3) Cultural development effects represent the primary obstacle factors, while technological innovation, urban infrastructure, digital construction, and government investment emerge as the major driving forces. Specifically, the interactions between industrial structure and government investment, industrial structure and technological innovation, and urban environment and economic scale have a more significant impact on the development of the cultural–tourism coupling coordination development. Based on the preceding analysis, it is recommended to implement targeted policy measures to enhance collaboration between Beijing, Tianjin, and the surrounding cities in critical sectors. This should focus on expanding the synergies between culture and tourism, leveraging digital technologies to foster innovation and integration within the cultural and tourism industries. Such initiatives will help mitigate the regional disparities in the development of cultural–tourism integration and promote a more balanced and sustainable growth trajectory.

Published: January 2025

The research focuses on the limitations of traditional systems in optimizing information flow in the healthcare domain. It focuses on integrating knowledge graphs (KGs) and utilizing AI-powered applications, specifically conversational agents (CAs), particularly during peak operational hours in emergency departments (EDs). Leveraging the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) framework, the authors tailored a customized methodology, CRISP-knowledge graph (CRISP-KG), designed to harness KGs for constructing an intelligent knowledge base (KB) for CAs. This KG augmentation empowers CAs with advanced reasoning, knowledge management, and context awareness abilities. We utilized a hybrid method integrating a participatory design collaborative methodology (CM) and Methontology to construct a domain-centric robust formal ontological model depicting and mapping information flow during peak hours in EDs. The ultimate objective is to empower CAs with intelligent KBs, enabling seamless interaction with end users and enhancing the quality of care within EDs. The authors leveraged semantic web rule language (SWRL) to enhance inferencing capabilities within the KG framework further, facilitating efficient information management for assisting healthcare practitioners and patients. This innovative assistive solution helps efficiently manage information flow and information provision during peak hours. It also leads to better care outcomes and streamlined workflows within EDs.

Authors: Tapia Concha Sergio , Fariñas-Álvarez Concepción , Muñoz Cacho Pedro , Cifrian Martínez José Manuel , Zueco Gil Javier , Parra Blanco José Antonio
Published: January 2025

Introduction and objective: The pre-transplant protocol for lung transplant candidates includes a chest CT scan to assess disease progression and often coronary angiography (CA) to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary artery calcium is commonly observed in these pre-transplant CT scans. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between coronary calcium detected on CT and findings from CA to determine whether calcium presence could serve as an additional criterion for selecting patients for CA. Material and Methods: We included 252 consecutive lung transplant patients who had both a CT scan and CA within 365 days of each other. Coronary calcium quantification was performed using artery-based, segment artery-based, and visual assessment methods. CA findings were classified by stenosis severity: ≤20%, 21–70%, and >70%. Results: This study showed very high concordance (kappa = 0.896; 95% CI: 0.843–0.948) between the three methods, especially in distinguishing patients without and with coronary calcium (kappa = 1.000; 95% CI: 0.929–1.071). ROC analysis identified the absence of coronary calcium as the best cutoff to differentiate patients with ≤20% stenosis from those with >21%, with a sensitivity of 73.5%, specificity of 55.7%, PPV of 28.5%, and NPV of 90%. Only 11 patients (8.7%) without coronary calcium had stenosis of 21–70%, and only 2 (1.6%) had stenosis > 70%. Conclusions: The visual assessment method yielded results similar to the other two quantification methods. The absence of coronary calcium in pre-transplant CT may be a useful criterion for selecting patients for CA.

Published: January 2025

The Colombian Caribbean faces environmental challenges due to urbanization, industrialization, and maritime activities, which introduce pollutants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and microplastics into aquatic ecosystems. Perna viridis (Asian green mussel), an invasive species that has been established in Cartagena Bay since 2009, exhibits potential bioaccumulation capacity, making it a promising biomonitor. This study assessed the concentrations of mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and selenium (Se) in P. viridis across two key sites—a port area at the Cartagena Bay (CB) and Virgen marsh (VM) in Colombia—from 2020 to 2023. Seasonal variations driven by La Niña and El Niño phenomena significantly influenced metal concentrations, with transitional periods modulating pollutant accumulation. The levels of trace metals in soft tissue of P. viridis (dry weight) ranged from 0.0003 to 0.0039 µg/g (Cd), 0.04 to 0.21 µg/g (Hg), 0.05 to 1.18 µg/g (Pb), and 0.0029 to 0.0103 µg/g (Se). In suspended particulate matter (SPM), Cd ranged from 0.07 to 0.33 µg/g; Pb ranged from 4.94 to 25.66 µg/g; and Hg ranged from 0.18 to 1.20 µg/g. Results revealed differences in metal concentrations between sites and seasons, highlighting the role of environmental and anthropogenic factors in pollutant distribution. The findings confirm P. viridis as an effective biomonitor of complex pollution scenarios in Cartagena Bay. However, its invasive status highlights ecological risks to be addressed, such as interaction with native bivalves and benthic community structures. These results emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring efforts to mitigate pollution and preserve marine biodiversity in the Colombian Caribbean.

Published: January 2025

Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus is a notorious vector transmitting severe diseases such as Zika virus and West Nile virus to humans worldwide. Vermistatin is a type of funicon-like compound and was first isolated from Penicillin vermiculatum in the 1970s. Vermistatin has shown promising activity against Cx. p. quinquefasciatus larvae in our previous research. Here, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of Cx. p. quinquefasciatus larvae treated with a median lethal concentration of 28.13 mg/L vermistatin. Differential expression analysis identified 1055 vermistatin-responsive genes, with 477 downregulated and 578 upregulated. Gene Ontology annotation and enrichment analysis revealed the metabolic process to be the most significantly affected biological process, the membrane to be the most significantly affected cellular component, and catalytic activity to be the most significantly affected molecular function. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis classified the differential expression genes into six major categories, with metabolism and organismal systems being the most enriched. Fifty-five pathways were significantly enriched, with the hematopoietic cell lineage, renin–angiotensin system, cholesterol metabolism, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling pathways among the top altered pathways. Furthermore, 32 potential detoxification-related genes were differentially expressed, with 3 cytochrome P450s, 2 ABC transporters, and 1 UGT induced by vermistatin. This study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of vermistatin’s action against Cx. p. quinquefasciatus larvae, highlighting potential targets for novel mosquito control strategies.

Background: Elite-neutralizer-derived HIV-1 envelopes (Envs), which induce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), can inform HIV-1 vaccine design by serving as templates for bnAb-eliciting vaccines. Since single Env-based immunizations are insufficient to induce bnAb responses, sequential regimens using multivalent immunogens or Env cocktails hold greater promise. This underscores the need to develop stable Env trimers from diverse HIV-1 strains, particularly clade-C, which accounts for 50% of global infections and over 90% in India and South Africa. While various platforms exist to stabilize soluble Env trimers for use as antigenic baits and vaccines, stabilizing clade C trimers remains challenging. Methods: We stabilized an HIV-1 clade C trimer based on an Env isolated from a pediatric elite neutralizer (AIIMS_329) using multiple platforms, including SOSIP.v8.2, ferritin nanoparticles (NPs) and I53-50 two-component NPs, followed by characterization of their biophysical, antigenic, and immunogenic properties. Results: The stabilized 329 Envs showed binding to multiple HIV-1 bnAbs, with negligible binding to non-neutralizing antibodies. Negative-stain electron microscopy confirmed the native-like conformation of the Envs. Multimerization of 329 SOSIP.v8.2 on ferritin and two-component I53-50 NPs improved the affinity to HIV-1 bnAbs and showed higher immunogenicity in rabbits. Conclusions: The soluble 329 Env protein could serve as an antigenic bait, and multimeric 329 NP Envs are potential vaccine candidates.

Authors: McQueen Andrew , Kimble Ashley , Krupa Paige , Longwell Anna , Calomeni-Eck Alyssa , Moore David
Published: January 2025

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants that pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Increasing regulatory demands for PFAS management have increased the need for rapid and deployable analytical technologies for both abiotic and biotic matrices. Traditional detection methods, such as standardized chromatography, often require weeks to months for analysis due to a limited number of appropriately accredited laboratories, delaying critical decision-making. This literature review is intended to identify promising emerging PFAS analytical techniques or technologies to facilitate more rapid (near real-time) analysis and explore their relevancy in supporting human and ecological risk assessments. Recently developed optical and electrochemical sensing approaches are enabling the detection of PFASs within minutes to hours, with detection limits typically aligning within reported ambient concentrations in water, soil, and sediment. These emerging technologies could (1) support planning and prioritization of sampling efforts during the problem formulation phase of risk assessment, (2) complement traditional chromatography methods to lower time and resource demands to improve sampling frequency over space and time, and (3) aid in risk-informed characterization of PFAS exposures based on identified chemical classes or groups. This review highlights those approaches and technologies that could potentially enhance the comprehensiveness and efficiency of PFAS risk assessment across diverse environmental settings in the future.

Architecture of contemporary museums: “spectacularity of globalism” vs. “spirit of the place”
Authors: Ptichnikova G. A.
Published: January 2025

The role of museum architecture in the urban space has always been exceptional, but today attention to them as a driving force that shapes the new look of cities and regions has sharply escalated. The article is devoted to two main trends in the formation of modern museum architecture: universalization, which is driven by the forces of cultural globalization, and regionalism, based on the requirements of preserving the diversity of the culture of nations and local communities. Architectural globalization and regionalism were analyzed on well-known buildings abroad in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The Russian experience was also considered on the examples of both implemented works and projects and competitions in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Perm, and Volgograd. The main methods of architectural shaping are revealed. In architectural globalization, these are experiments with form, curvilinearity, the use of fantastic images of unearthly origin. “de-territorialization„ (separation from place) and “de-historicization„ (separation from historical time, continuity). Regionalism in museum architecture is manifested by such techniques as inspiration from local natural landscapes; the use of historical images and images; rethinking the use of traditional building materials; modern interpretation of folk and traditional architecture.

Published: January 2025

The article describes the development of interactive maps of urban educational institutions using QGIS as a tool. Many countries are solving problems related to the convenience of living and working in the city due to the rapid growth of cities in the world, and one of the tools for solving this problem is mapping the urban environment. Interactive maps can optimize the use of urban environment data and improve living and working conditions in cities. One of the primary tasks of improving the quality of life of citizens is the mapping of the urban environment. The main goal of mapping is to provide relevant and accurate information to solve problems related to the convenience of living and working in the city. However, many cities in Russia do not have a unified system for combining up-to-date information about objects and institutions, so the creation of an interactive map becomes necessary. Using QGIS will allow you to create a convenient and detailed map containing the characteristics and location of objects, as well as hyperlinks to sources and photographs. Such mapping has many advantages over printed maps and will optimize the use of urban environment data, improve living conditions and activities in cities. However, despite all the advantages of geographic information systems, not all Russian cities have the opportunity to use them and access the necessary up-to-date information

Authors: Selamat Taufiqnur , Abu Bakar Azlina , Md Zalli Mohd Muslim , Othman Mohd Syaubari
Published: January 2025

Stigma in mental illness happens when someone has an unfair attitude or belief about a person with mental health challenges that causes social isolation, social discrediting and reduced likelihood of staying with treatment. The objective of this study is to see the influence of attitude factors and the effect of social media on stigma towards mental patients among public university students. A total of 350 students around the Klang Valley were involved in this study through simple random sampling. The questionnaires used are Stigma and Self-Stigma Scales (SASS), Community Attitude Towards Mental Illness (CAMI) scale and Effects of Social Media Use on Perception on Mental Illness (ESMUPMI). The findings of the study show that the majority of students show a high level of stigma towards mental patients (65%), medium (24%) and low (11%). This study also found that the majority (84%) of students agreed that social media was their main source of information about mental problems; believe that social media sharing about mental illness is accurate (71%) and believe that social media is influential in changing someone's opinion or perception of this issue.

Authors: Tan Wee-Ling
Published: January 2025

In creating interactive and stimulating STEM to supplement the current educational trends, it is essential to include technology learning environments (Nungu et al., 2023). However, teachers may be reluctant to use digital tools due to the insufficient training or have little experience with new educational technologies (Munna & Kalam, 2021; Nungu et al., 2023). Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the extent to which digital proficiency was improved among the 39 science teachers through the utilization of Minecraft Education (ME) in the workshop. The technological pedagogical content knowledge of digital games (TPACK-G) framework was used to assess the digital proficiency in pre-test and post-test. Teachers’ digital proficiency was assessed from the perspective of game knowledge (GK), game content knowledge (GCK), and game pedagogical content knowledge (GPCK). The results showed that science teachers' digital skills improved significantly after the intervention with ME, with the GPCK showing the highest increase predictor. This was true for GK, GCK, and GPCK. The findings suggest that educational policymakers, curriculum designers, and professional developers should consider the potential of ME in enhancing teachers' and students' digital proficiency.
