Zooplankton play a crucial role in aquatic food chains and contain many species, which could be bioindicators of water quality and ecosystem health. The ecological impacts of eutrophication on zooplankton composition in freshwater lakes have recently gained wide interest. Geographic location and water-body size influence zooplankton diversity in freshwaters; meanwhile, less is known about the composition and dynamic of the zooplankton community and their relationship with the trophic status in artificial water in semi-arid areas. The present study aimed to assess the physical–chemical parameters and to document the seasonal distribution of zooplankton species and their relationship with environmental factors and trophic state in the artificial freshwater lake JUST, in a semi-arid area. The high concentrations of nutrients and the trophic level index (TLI) classified the lake as eutrophic–hypertrophic. The zooplankton in the JUST lake were composed of twenty-six species, with eleven Rotifera, ten Copepoda, and five Cladocera. Copepoda was numerically the most abundant taxon, accounting for 64% of the total zooplankton abundance, in both seasons. However, the second most abundant taxon in summer was Rotifera (28.26%) while in winter it was Cladocera (25.88%). The community structure seemed to be influenced, most likely, by trophic state, phytoplankton abundance, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient loading. The zooplankton were largely dominated by bioindicator species of high trophic levels. Zooplankton could be used as a tool to monitor the trophic state of the lake. For sustainable development, the introduction of phytoplanktivorous, aquaculture species, such as carp and koi, will strengthen the top-down control of the phytoplankton concentration, leading to a reduced trophic state.

Authors: Nguyen Anh Phuong Thi , Nguyen Thuy Thanh Thi , Vo Khoa Dang Nguyen
Published: August 2023

Aqueous solutions of graphene oxide (GO), TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs), and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized through a facile, single-step radiolytic method at room temperature and ambient pressure. The resulting material, referred to as GO-TNTs-AgNPs (GTA), was investigated for its potential application in the photodegradation of Rhodamine-B (RhB) dye. This synthesis process relies on the interaction of high-energy gamma rays from a 60Co source with the water in the aqueous solutions. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of irradiation dose and the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution on the combination within the nanocomposite materials. The inefficiency of GTA synthesis experimentally was in agreement with the hydroxyl radical (HO•) scavenger. Then, the irradiated materials were structurally characterized using various spectroscopic methods (Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible absorption (UV–Vis)). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies reveal the variable morphology of nanocomposites. GTA samples in water exhibited significantly higher degradation efficiency on Rhodamine B dye under natural sunlight irradiation conditions.
Will the Structure of Food Imports Improve China’s Water-Intensive Food Cultivation Structure? A Spatial Econometric Analysis
Authors: Jiang Hanyuan , Zheng Ciwen
Published: August 2023

To explore new strategies for optimizing China’s food cultivation structure, this study empirically investigates the relationship between the food import structure and China’s food cultivation structure from the perspective of water conservation based on factor endowments theory. The following conclusions are drawn: (i) Overall, the water-intensive food cultivation structure (WFCS) in South China and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River shows a slightly upward trend and is obviously at a higher level. The WFCS in the Huang-Huai-Hai and Northwest regions shows a decreasing trend and is obviously at a lower level. (ii) The structural effects of food imports (SEFI) can effectively reduce the proportion of water-intensive food cultivation (WFC). Furthermore, every 100,000 tons of food imports will, on average, reduce the proportion of water-intensive food cultivation in the region by 0.161%. The negative effect of the SEFI on the proportion of WFC in the northern region and the major food-producing regions is stronger than that in the southern region and the non-major food-producing regions. (iii) The quantile regression reveals that the marginal role played by the SEFI is progressively stronger in regions with a higher proportion of WFC. This is because in regions with a low proportion of water- and land-intensive food cultivation, regional resource endowments are still sufficient to support the production. However, as the proportion of such food cultivation increases, the regional resource endowment will have difficulty supporting normal production. In this case, the negative effect of the SEFI on the proportion of WFC will be stronger. (iv) Driven by profits, some provinces import food and then dispatch it to adjacent regions. Thus, the SEFI has a spatial spillover effect on China’s food cultivation structure. This study verifies the applicability of factor endowments theory in the field of food trade, which not only extends the boundary of research into food import structure but also provides planning suggestions for China’s food cultivation structure.

A flash flood is the most common natural hazard that endangers people’s lives, the economy, and infrastructure. Watershed management and planning are essential for reducing flood damages, particularly in residential areas, and mapping flash flood-sensitive zones. Flash flooding is an interface dynamic between geoterrain system factors such as geology, geomorphology, soil, drainage density, slope, and flood, rather than only water movement from higher to lower elevation. Consequently, the vulnerability to flash floods necessitates an awareness of and mapping topographical features. A flash flood vulnerable zones (FFVZ) map is essential for thorough flash flood risk assessment and management to minimize its detrimental effects, particularly in residential areas, especially in cities like Fujairah with seven wadis flowing into the city and even though it has two main dams and fifteen breaker dams. So, in this work, eight satellite image-derived parameters rainfall, elevation, slope, land use/land cover (LULC), drainage density, geology, geomorphology, and soil were combined to predict the flash flood-vulnerable zones using a weighted overlay technique based on geographic information systems (GIS). Each element of the thematic maps is ranked and weighted according to how vulnerable it is to flash floods in the study area, with 55 km2 being classified as a very highly vulnerable area, 78 km2 as a high-risk area, 9.3 km2 as a moderate risk area, 70 km2 as a low vulnerable area, and 257 km2 as a very low vulnerable area. In addition, places with a very high vulnerability level include the Fujairah Airport, Fujairah Port, some residential neighborhoods in the city’s center, oil storage areas, two hospitals, and universities. Additionally, from 1990 to the present, Landsat and Sentinel 2 data showed consistent changes in vegetation and built-up areas. Therefore, in addition to helping policy and decision-makers make the best choices about the efficacy of the study area’s protective structures against the risk of flash floods in the future, the results can also be a valuable source of information.

The duration of economic use of cows is one of the important economic indicators in dairy cattle breeding, which determines the total amount of dairy products received from the cow and the speed of herd repair. A short period of use of cows causes economic damage to dairy cattle breeding and leads to the loss of valuable genotypes. Productive longevity of cows is the potential to increase the efficiency of dairy cattle breeding; therefore it can be a priority direction of breeding. There are quite a lot of reasons for the culling of animals from the herd, and they have their own specifi cs in each farm. The purpose of the research was to study the factors aff ecting the productive longevity of cows of Red-and-White breed in pedigree farms. The research was carried out under the conditions of breeding ferms in the Voronezh region, which Red-and-White breed of cattle bred such as JSC “Troitskoye” and JSC “Mayak” of Liskinsky district, LLC “Agrotech-Garant” Nashchekino of Anninsky district. It was found that the average milk yield of cows in all farms was 7497±532 kg (the best result was obtained in LLC “Mayak” – 8034 kg), which signifi cantly exceeds the requirements of the breed standard. The average percentage of fat in milk was 3,79 ± 0,11 %, protein – 3,22± 0,07 %, which meets the requirements of the breed standard. Analysis of the duration of productive use of cows in the herd showed that the average age at calving was 2,73 ± 0,26. A slight excess was observed in JSC “Troitskoe” (by 0,47 calving or 17,1 %). It was revealed as a result of the research that the best productive longevity and the highest productivity over the period of life in farms were found in cows calved at the age of 26–28 months, with a live weight of 480 – 520 kg, with milk yield for the fi rst lactation to 5000–6000 kg of milk, having an open days period of 60–90 days. It was found, farms have significant reserves to increase the productive longevity of cows by improving breeding work and veterinary activates.

Personal subsidiary farms are the most important sector of the agrarian economy, a factor of survival and ensuring food security for most people, providing more than half of the food in the country. The purpose of the research was to analyze the evolution of the formation of households and small farms of the population in Russia. The evolutionary and chronological development and formation of Russian household farmsteads and private farms of the population have been presented in the article. The main stages of the development of households of the population as the most important socio-economic institution and contribution to the agricultural sector of the economy are substantiated. We believe that the eff ective and successful development of private farms will signifi cantly reduce the time frame for the implementation of the food problem and the independence of the country. The income level of the rural population is 3 times lower than the national average. An increase in production volumes in subsidiary farms will help to reduce this gap and solve the country’s food security. Eff ective state support for smallscale farming and personal subsidiary farms is the most important basis for the eff ective development of agricultural production and food security of the country. The system of state support should be aimed at the development of livestock industries in private farms. In this regard, fi nancial resources are needed for the construction of livestock facilities and their equipment, feed and young animals are needed. Without the effective assistance of the state and the provision of funds, the development and diversification of private farms is not possible, farmers have nowhere to take or borrow them, and feed and young farm animals can be obtained in the public economy on mutually beneficial and agreed terms of cooperation.
Features and problems in the use of "soft power" by the Russian diplomacy on the example of the Republic of Iraq
Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Yuzopolsky M. D.
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the features and problems of the Russian cultural and humanitarian policy, which form the basis of the Russian "soft power", identified in the process of studying the work of Russian diplomacy in the Republic of Iraq after the 2003 crisis. The Iraqi example was not chosen by chance: in fact, since the overthrow of the government of Saddam Hussein, the Russian Federation had to rebuild its relations with Iraq, during this process, signifi cant shortcomings, features and strengths of the Russian approach to the use of so-called “soft power” were clearly revealed. Today, this topic is especially relevant in connection with the change in the foreign policy priorities of the Russian Federation, refl ected in the new Foreign Policy Concept. In addition, the information war of Western countries against Russia requires Russian diplomacy to form and maintain a positive image of the country abroad, which is impossible without the use of the very “soft power”. The fi rst part of the article examines the principles of Russian foreign policy: from the general ones, applied to all countries, to the special ones, peculiar exclusively to Russian-Iraqi relations. The importance of all these principles lies in their fundamental role in planning any actions of Russian diplomacy in relation to the host state, including in the application of cultural and humanitarian policy instruments — “soft power”. In the next part, the cultural, humanitarian and informational components of Russian foreign policy are considered separately: their strengths and weaknesses are identified, and some proposals are made for using foreign experience in this area.

Published: August 2023

Social network analysis (SNA) is a tool used to analyze the connections between people and organizations. However, despite its usefulness to the study of these relations, there have been relatively few applications to situations in agriculture and natural resources. SNA was applied to the study of a watershed collaborative group in southern Arizona. We found that even a fundamental application of SNA was valuable to a watershed initiative and, furthermore, believe that U.S. Extension professionals are positioned to advance the effectiveness of participatory resource management groups through more widespread use of this methodology.

Com bloco fixo, imutável e de tamanho limitado, a fim de garantir melhor rendimento em suas aplicações, o comportamento da rede Blockchain uma vez aplicada a operações de elevado volume de transações apresenta problemas na alocação de novos blocos na rede, pelo aumento de tempo de respostas de processamento e distribuição das transações realizadas aos usuários. Esse efeito afeta de forma negativa os recursos das redes Blockchain, fazendo com que o problema seja discutido cada vez mais nas comunidades de usuários, desenvolvedores e investidores na tecnologia. Diversas soluções isoladas têm surgido ao longo dos anos, como a escalabilidade, a utilização de Blockchain secundário, denominado de Sidechain e o armazenamento de dados fora da rede, denominado Armazenamento Off-chain, entre outras alternativas, de forma que não possuímos uma solução definitiva. Os sidechains, como alternativa, rodam em paralelo com a Blockchain principal, atrelada à cadeia principal podendo estender suas funcionalidades, segurança, desempenho, escalabilidade e diminuir custos por serem interoperáveis, seus ativos podem fluir livremente de uma para a outra. O armazenamento de dados fora da Blockchain, Off-Chain, são utilizados para armazenamento de documentos notariais como contratos, escrituras, letras de música, imagens, fotos entre outros ativos, podendo ocupar elevado volume de dados. Por estarem fora da rede Blockchain, os Sidechains exigem suposições de confiança mais altas e mesmo desconfiança em seu uso. Apresentamos neste artigo, uma contribuição para o aprofundamento da pesquisa da integração com dados externos à rede Blockchain.
