Authors: Junjia Yin , Alias Aidi Hizami , Haron Nuzul Azam , Abu Bakar Nabilah
Published: August 2023

As urbanization continues to grow around the world, the risks associated with construction are increasing. Scientific and practical risk assessments help reduce safety risks and achieve healthy, long-term growth, so there has been much research in this field. Through a review of the literature, this study aims to reveal the state and trends of research in the field of safety risk assessment. We searched 473 articles on construction risk assessment from the Web of Science (WoS) in the last decade, bibliometrically analyzed them, and then uncovered their significance using CiteSpace software (6.1. R6 (64-bit) Basic). The primary topics of conversation are countries, institutions, authors, and keywords, followed by references. According to the co-authorship analysis, the current research in this field is mainly from China, the USA, and Australia. Most influential authors currently have teaching or research positions at educational institutions; the most notable of which include Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and Tsinghua University. They form a relatively close network of institutional cooperation. Based on the results of the co-term analysis, this study found that the current research hotspots are mainly focusing on “multi-objective optimization”, “risk management”, “mechanical characterization”, “mental fatigue”, “accident prevention”, and many others. Data-driven, AI-assisted, and multi-stakeholder participation are the future trends in this field.
Investigation of Mechanical Properties Evolution and Crack Initiation Mechanisms of Deep Carbonate Rocks Affected by Acid Erosion
Authors: Chen Weihua , Yang Jian , Li Li , Wang Hancheng , Huang Lei , Jia Yucheng , Hu Qiuyun , Jiang Xingwen , Tang Jizhou
Published: August 2023

Deep tight-gas carbonate reservoirs have huge reserves, with the advantages of having clean and low-carbon characteristics in addition to being a sustainable and stable supply which leads to very high-quality green energy, despite its difficult extraction. The reservoirs are usually modified using acid fracturing before exploitation, but due to acid erosion, the continuous alteration of the mechanical properties of the reservoir rocks complicates the process of predicting the crack initiation pressure. This paper aims to address the difficulties in predicting the crack initiation pressure by conducting a series of acid-etching experiments on carbonate rock samples subjected to splitting and uniaxial compression tests. By examining the variations in the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, tensile strength under distinct acid systems, and acid-etching durations and temperatures, a quantified mathematical model was developed. This model was integrated into a fracture-initiation pressure prediction framework, resulting in a practical and user-friendly tool for the acid fracture-initiation pressure prediction model, which was further demonstrated through field engineering validation. The findings reveal that the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and tensile strength of carbonate rocks exhibit an inverse relationship with acid-etching time and temperature. Extended acid fracturing durations and high reservoir temperatures are conducive to acid-fracturing transformations. The fracture-initiation pressure-prediction-model analysis disclosed that, compared to the gelled acid, the diverting acid demonstrates a more pronounced reduction in the reservoir fracture pressure under high-temperature and short-duration conditions. An acid system preference diagram was constructed to provide a theoretical foundation for practical engineering applications, delivering valuable insights for optimizing acid fracturing treatments in carbonate reservoirs to provide a boost for the green energy extraction of tight gas.
A Framework for Integrating Extreme Weather Risk, Probability of Default, and Loss Given Default for Residential Mortgage Loans
Authors: Wong Michael , Ho Ho
Published: August 2023

This paper considers a hypothetical case in which a bank wants to build a routine climate stress test exercise on residential mortgage loans. The bank has regularly updated the probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) on each residential mortgage loan under the internal-rating-based (IRB) approach of Basel II/III. Additionally, the bank estimates the stressed PD and stressed LGD associated with a predetermined extreme weather event. Using simulation techniques, this paper shows that the loss of the bank’s residential mortgage portfolio can reach a median of around 36% of the portfolio value. This remarkable loss comes from the effects of default correlation and property damage. Banks should pay more attention to such impacts of extreme weather events.
Place Identity, Social Capital, and Rural Homestay Entrepreneurship Performance: The Mediating Effect of Self-Efficacy
Authors: Yin Ping , Zhou Linjie
Published: August 2023

It is necessary to analyze the entrepreneurial performance mechanism of rural homestays to improve farmers’ incomes under the strategy of rural revitalization in China. This study constructs a mechanism model, in which place identity and social capital are antecedent variables and entrepreneurial self-efficacy is an intermediary variable. Three hundred and fifty five valid samples were collected from rural homestayers in suburban areas of Beijing. A structural equation modelling by Mplus was conducted for path-analysis and also a mediating effects test to verity the theoretical model. The results demonstrate that place identity has no significant effect on entrepreneurial performance, while social capital and entrepreneurial self-efficacy do have. In fact, place identity and social capital have significant positive effects on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy plays a complete mediating role in the relationship between place identity and farmers’ entrepreneurial performance, and a partial mediating role in the relationship between social capital and farmers’ entrepreneurial performance. Under the background of rural revitalization, the conclusions of this study provide a theoretical basis for improving the farmer’s entrepreneurial performance and have certain practical management significance.
Exploring the Multidimensional Perspective of Retail Investors’ Attention: The Mediating Influence of Corporate Governance and Information Disclosure on Corporate Environmental Performance in China
Authors: Wang Zhenjie , Zhang Jiewei , Ullah Hafeez
Published: August 2023

In the dynamically evolving global environment, enterprises grapple with an intricate web of social, environmental, and technological changes that demand heightened environmental efficiency and sustainability-oriented strategies. This study investigated the influence of retail investor attention on corporate environmental performance as well as the roles of corporate governance and information disclosure quality in Chinese publicly traded companies from 2008 to 2019. The empirical evidence reveals a positive association between retail investors’ attention and corporate environmental performance. The quality of corporate governance significantly affects environmental performance, while information disclosure quality exhibits a negative correlation. The study’s findings provide valuable insights for policymakers looking to improve corporate environmental efficiency. They suggest incorporating retail investor attention as a strategy for Chinese publicly traded firms to enhance their environmental performance. Overall, this study highlights the importance of corporate governance practices, information disclosure quality, and retail investor attention in achieving optimal environmental performance.

Authors: Darmastuti Lorina , Rustiadi Ernan , Fauzi Akhmad , Purwanto Yanuar Jarwadi
Published: August 2023

Wastewater management in Bogor, Indonesia faces significant challenges in achieving sustainability. The success of the development of wastewater management requires an analysis of the characteristics of the actors related to the relationship between actors, the attitude of actors toward development goals, and the possibility of alliances and conflicts that arise. The research aims to identify the actors’ typologies based on the strengths and relationships between the actors’ and the actors’ attitudes toward managing fast-growing areas in self-help settlements based on domestic wastewater management for the area of Bogor Town, Indonesia. This research uses a case study approach, and data were collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. Data analysis used the MACTOR method (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations) to identify the stakeholder actors’ strengths, relationships, and patterns of alliances. The results showed that the most influential actors in wastewater management are the Housing and Settlements Agency (DISRUMKIM), Regional Drinking Water Companies (PDAM), entrepreneurs (PUSAHA), MEDIA, the Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD), Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA), Public Works and Spatial Planning Service (DPUPR), and the Health Service (DINKES). In addition, the highest divergence value was 35, which occurred in Sub-District Tanah Sareal (KEC. TANSAR) to PUSAHA. There are four actors with a high level of ambivalence, namely Sub-District Bogor Selatan (KEC BOSEL), Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), MEDIA, and Environment Service (DLH). These findings form the basis for developing a pattern of collaboration between all stakeholders necessary for the development of sustainable wastewater management in Bogor, Indonesia. In addition, this finding allows it to be used as relevant information, and it can be implemented in other cities with the same characteristics as Bogor Town is facing similar challenges in wastewater management.
Perceived Opportunities and Challenges of Autonomous Demand-Responsive Transit Use: What Are the Socio-Demographic Predictors?
Authors: Golbabaei Fahimeh , Yigitcanlar Tan , Paz Alexander , Bunker Jonathan
Published: August 2023

The adoption of autonomous demand-responsive transit (ADRT) to support regular public transport has the potential to enhance sustainable mobility. There is a dearth of research on the socio-demographic characteristics associated with perceived opportunities and challenges regarding ADRT adoption in Australia. In this research, we fill this knowledge gap by determining socio-demographic predictors of perceptions and attitudes towards ADRT, specifically autonomous shuttle buses (ASBs), among adult residents of South East Queensland. This study incorporates a review of prior global studies, a stated preference survey distributed across the case study region, and descriptive and logistic regression analysis. We found that the main perceived opportunity of ASBs is reduced congestion/emissions, while the primary anticipated challenge relates to unreliable technology. Fully employed respondents are likely to be more familiar with autonomous vehicles. Females and those from lower-income households are less likely to have ridden in an autonomous vehicle. Males, those who are younger, have high employment, hail from higher-income households, and with no driver’s licence are all more favourable towards ASBs. Males, those with high employment, and without driver’s licence are likely to be more concerned about traffic accidents when using ASBs. Less-educated respondents and those living in peri-urban areas are likely to be more concerned about fares. Insights are drawn from the current study to inform policymakers to consider key challenges (e.g., trust issues) and target groups (particularly females) in planning public communication strategies to enhance receptiveness to ADRT.
Pollution and Health Risk Assessment of Hazardous Elements in Surface Dust along an Urbanization Gradient
Authors: Kavsar Nargiza , Eziz Mamattursun , Sidikjan Nazupar
Published: August 2023

The hazardous element (HE) pollution of urban surface dust is a serious environmental issue, due to its toxicity and potential hazardous effects. Surface dust samples were collected from core urban, urban, and suburban gradients in the city of Urumqi in arid northwestern China, and the concentrations of six HEs, such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and chromium (Cr) were determined. The pollution load index (PLI) and the US EPA health risk assessment model were applied, to assess and compare the pollution levels and the potential health risk of HEs in the surface dust in different urbanization gradients. The results indicated that the average concentrations of Hg, Cd, and Ni in the surface dust decreased in the order of core urban > urban > suburban, whereas the average concentrations of As, Cr, and Pb decreased in the order of urban > core urban > suburban. The PLI of HEs in surface dust decreased in the order of core urban > urban > suburban. The concentrations of HEs in the core urban and urban gradients were relatively higher than those in the suburban gradient. Furthermore, the total non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk index of the investigated HEs in surface dust decreased in the order of urban > core urban > suburban, for both adults and children. In addition, the pollution of surface dust by HEs in all urbanization gradients was more harmful to children’s health than to adults’. Overall, the potential non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risk of the investigated HEs, instigated primarily via the oral ingestion of surface dust, was found to be within the acceptable range. However, urbanization has effected the accumulation of HEs in surface dust, and Cr was the main non-carcinogenic risk factor, whereas Cd was the main carcinogenic risk factor, among the analyzed HEs in surface dust in three urban gradients in the study area.
New Perspectives of Symmetry Conferred by q-Hermite-Hadamard Type Integral Inequalities
Authors: Ciurdariu Loredana , Grecu Eugenia
Published: August 2023

The main goal of this work is to provide quantum parametrized Hermite-Hadamard like type integral inequalities for functions whose second quantum derivatives in absolute values follow different type of convexities. A new quantum integral identity is derived for twice quantum differentiable functions, which is used as a key element in our demonstrations along with several basic inequalities such as: power mean inequality, and Holder’s inequality. The symmetry of the Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities is stressed by the different types of convexities. Several special cases of the parameter are chosen to illustrate the investigated results. Four examples are presented.
New Concepts in Therapeutic Manipulation of HIV-1 Transcription and Latency: Latency Reversal versus Latency Prevention
Authors: Lewis Catherine A. , Margolis David M. , Browne Edward P.
Published: August 2023

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically improved the prognosis for people living with HIV-1, but a cure remains elusive. The largest barrier to a cure is the presence of a long-lived latent reservoir that persists within a heterogenous mix of cell types and anatomical compartments. Efforts to eradicate the latent reservoir have primarily focused on latency reversal strategies. However, new work has demonstrated that the majority of the long-lived latent reservoir is established near the time of ART initiation, suggesting that it may be possible to pair an intervention with ART initiation to prevent the formation of a sizable fraction of the latent reservoir. Subsequent treatment with latency reversal agents, in combination with immune clearance agents, may then be a more tractable strategy for fully clearing the latent reservoir in people newly initiating ART. Here, we summarize molecular mechanisms of latency establishment and maintenance, ongoing efforts to develop effective latency reversal agents, and newer efforts to design latency prevention agents. An improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in both the establishment and maintenance of latency will aid in the development of new latency prevention and reversal approaches to ultimately eradicate the latent reservoir.
Girls Navigating the Context of Unwanted Dick Pics: ‘Some Things Just Can’t Be Unseen’
Authors: Barker-Clarke Emma
Published: August 2023

The terms cyberbullying and nudes, when used by young people, generally overlap to categorise a range of online harms. Yet, when unpacked with girls, their co-opting of these terms can minimize image-based sexual harassment. This paper draws upon findings from a participatory project exploring implicit interpretations of cyberbullying and nudes. I narrow in on the voices of girls, aged 13–15, as they report embodied discomfort and violation from [i] unwanted dick pics from peers and [ii] stranger cyberflashing. To analyse their experiences, I re-work Pierre Bourdieu’s toolkit to a gendered digital habitus with social fields in integrated offline–online contexts in which the unexpected viewing of dick pics leaks across. This reworking illustrates the tensions the girls experience. Resourcefully, the girls draw on embodied postfeminist dispositions to manage their discomfort and safety. I conclude that their normalisations may illustrate symbolic violence, as their postfeminist dispositions attune them to rationalize image-based sexual harassment as naturalised masculine actions. These responses ‘make sense’ to the girls, a position held in preference to the consequences of reporting image-based sexual harassment. Reporting could increase the risk of confrontation with the sender in offline fields and/or potentially result in loss of access, due to adult intervention, to devices and social media.

A acessibilidade na concessão de serviços de uso público em parques nacionais brasileiros
Authors: Juliano Tiago
Published: August 2023

A concessão de serviços de uso público pode representar uma oportunidade para promoção da acessibilidade de pessoas com deficiência e mobilidade reduzida nos parques nacionais do Brasil. Contudo, o monitoramento do processo de concessão é fundamental para que as contrapartidas previstas nos projetos sejam concretizadas. Com finalidade descritiva, esse estudo analisa como os contratos de concessão dos parques nacionais brasileiros abordam a acessibilidade de pessoas com deficiência e mobilidade reduzida. Empregando análise documental como procedimento de trabalho, são categorizados a natureza das medidas de acessibilidade, os tipos de deficiência, as atividades e infraestruturas de uso público atendidas pelos projetos de concessão. Os resultados indicam um cenário heterogêneo das concessões em relação às abordagens da acessibilidade, influenciadas pela vigência do contrato, pelas características do parque, pelo objeto de concessão e pelas diretrizes do plano de manejo. É possível inferir, ainda, que parte das medidas de acessibilidade adotadas nas UCs brasileiras é fomentada por fatores mais amplos do que as próprias concessões. O levantamento apresenta um quadro comparativo dos contratos de concessão dos parques nacionais do Brasil e discute oportunidades para a institucionalização da acessibilidade como prioridade no uso público das UCs.

Authors: Dogan Shannon , Sitnick Stephanie , Ontai Lenna
Published: August 2023

Extension professionals often work with diverse clientele; however, most assessment tools have been developed and validated with English-speaking samples. There is little research and practical guidance on the cultural adaptation and translation of rating scales. The purpose of this article is to summarize the methodological work in this area as it relates to evaluation in Extension, specifically with Spanish-speaking, Hispanic populations of Mexican origin. General practices are reviewed and recommendations outlined. Inferences about program outcomes and impacts depend, in large part, on the rating scale; therefore, inattention to these issues could lead to misleading results and interpretations.

En este trabajo presentamos hallazgos del proyecto de investigación de cooperacióninternacional del Grupo “Saberes corporales”, “Aprendizajes corporales en la escuelaformal” (IDIHCS-FAHCE-UNLP/CINDE).Analizaremos un corpus de cartografías corporales de mujeres -estudiantes de escuelasecundaria y docentes en formación- en el que se trama la relación entre saberesdisciplinares y saberes de género en la construcción de sus identidades sexo-genéricas. Eneste sentido, indagaremos cómo se configuran esas cartografías corporales de mujeresdonde son visibles experiencias vinculadas con las luchas feministas, la violencia degénero, los vínculos afectivos, los patrones de belleza y los estereotipos sexo-genéricos.¿Cómo se configuran los cuerpos de estas mujeres? ¿Qué dimensiones del orden de loafectivo, sensorio-motriz, emocional, epistémico se hacen presentes en estos cuerpos deestudiantes y docentes en formación? Ensayaremos algunas hipótesis sobre el vínculoentre cuerpos y saberes en contextos educativos de Argentina.Nuestra investigación se inscribe en una perspectiva transdisciplinar que toma los aportesde la antropología de los cuerpos (Citro, 2009 y 2010), la filosofía política (Esposito,2005), los planteos teóricos de Butler (2006 y 2010), la pedagogía y didáctica de la lenguay la literatura (Sardi, 2018 y 2019; Arias, 2010).

Authors: Fernetti Gustavo
Published: August 2023

En la enseñanza y la práctica arqueológica, los manuales de excavación han tenido un rol específico como bibliografía formativa. El objetivo de esta monografía es comparar seis manuales, para demostrar que se constituyen instrumentos operativos destinados ayudar en la práctica profesional. Imbuidos de teoría y en un acto integral de docencia, definen un buen hacer: una excavación correctamente hecha, para evitar perder información arqueológica.
A 40 años de la conquista de la democracia Un repaso por las luces y dificultades del periodo 1982-2003
Authors: Mesa Gisbert Carlos D.
Published: August 2023

Este discurso, pronunciado en 2022, viene a ser una semblanza de la historia de la democracia reciente en Bolivia —la que no hubo, la que tenemos, la que añoramos—. A partir de un recorrido por momentos cruciales de la historia de Bolivia, se revisan aquellos hitos que fundan momentos como la denominada “reconquista” de la democracia, a partir del gesto histórico del gobierno de Hernán Siles Suazo, en 1982. Se reflexiona sobre los alcances las acciones políticas que han permitido su consolidación, pero también sobre los problemas que se han ido enfrentando, con acciones y discursos políticos que la han ido mellando.
En el laberinto del mestizaje: estudio crítico de una realidad beligerante
Authors: Vera Rada Ignacio Rodrigo
Published: August 2023

¿Cómo conseguir una convivencia pacífica y productiva, pese a las radicales diferencias de raza, clase, cosmovisión y religión? Es el problema que se presenta en casi toda sociedad al momento de plantearse su futuro; pero posiblemente a ningún país se le plantea, por una constelación particularmente complicada, de un modo más peligroso que a Bolivia. Este constituye no solo un balance en torno a dos miradas de sociedad y país, sino también un aporte para entender este tejido social complejo y contradictorio —fundado como país en 1825, pero formado ya mucho más antes— llamado Bolivia, pues mientras el boliviano no se interrogue y contemple a sí mismo para resolver sus conflictos con el pasado, no podrá salir de las disputas que lo postergan desde hace mucho tiempo. Tampoco podrá construir un futuro coherente, un futuro que, creo yo, no es ni el de la uniformidad social mestiza ni el de las naciones dentro de la nación, sino sencillamente el de la convivencia racional en libertad.

Axularren testu-zorrak
Authors: Salaberri Muñoa Patxi
Published: August 2023

Artikulu honetan Axularek Gero liburua idazteko erabili bide zituen autore bi identifikatzeko saio bat aurkezten da. Horrela, Materreren Doctrina Christianako pasarte zenbaitekin Axularrek erakusten dituen testu kidetasunetan oinarrituz, urdazubiarrak batik bat bere obraren hasierako gomendiozko gutun eta hitzaurre modukorako erabili zuela ondorioztatzen da. Baina frantziskotarraren erabilera logikotasunaren eta espero zitekeenaren esparrukoa bazen ere (Axular haren aztertzaile eta examinatzailea izan baitzen), harrigarriago dirudi lehen begiradan Leizarraga kalbinistaren presentziak apaiz katoliko kontrarreformista baten obran. Guztiarekin ere, Axularrek Testamentu Berritik hartzen dituen aipamen askok Leizarragaren euskal bertsioaren eragina uzten dute agerian. Testuon zerrenda bar eransten da.
Lorenzo Hervás y la lengua vasca
Authors: Alonso-Cortés Ángel
Published: August 2023

En este artículo estudiamos las ideas sobre el influjo de la lengua vasca en la española que Hervás presenta en su obra Escuela española de sordomudos, aparecida en 1795. Precisa en esta obra que el influjo de una lengua sobre otra se restringe sólo a la pronunciación y a los idiotismos de la sintaxis. En esta obra de 1795, emplea un argumento que antes no había utilizado. Este argumento, presentado como una observación empírica, se basa en cómo los vascohablantes hablan el español que aprenden. Cuando un vascohablante aprende el español su forma de hablar no se distingue de la de un hispanohablante. Esto probaría, según Hervás, que el vasco y el castellano convienen en el acento (las articulaciones de los sonidos). Como el vasco es más antiguo que el castellano, deduce Hervás que los antiguos habitantes de España tenían la misma pronunciación. Además, dice Hervás, el castellano mantiene idiotismos sintácticos del vasco. Los idiotismos son la expresión de la forma de hablar de cada pueblo. La perduración de la pronunciación y los idiotismos, mantiene Hervás, no alteran la gramática de una lengua. Esta idea se encuentra también en Humboldt.
