A memória antes da memória: museus e guerra na Ucrânia
Authors: Ferreira Maria Leticia Mazzucchi
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo buscou-se analisar os sentidos que assumem memória, patrimônio e usos do passado na Ucrânia contemporânea. Para tanto, buscou-se analisar como opera a relação memória-patrimônio-política por meio de alguns exemplos de patrimonialização e de ações museológicas em três museus na cidade de Kiev: a primeira delas no Maidan Museum com objetos coletados em zonas de guerra; a segunda no National Museum of History of Ukraine in the Second World War denominada Ukraine – Crucifixion; e a terceira no Museu de Fragmentos de Guerra. Sob diferentes formas expográficas tais ações ocorrem simultaneamente ao estado de guerra no qual mergulhou a Ucrânia desde o dia 24 de fevereiro de 2022 com a invasão russa ao país. O objetivo deste artigo foi o de analisar como se articulam as noções de museu e memória quando ainda está em curso o presente, o que nos sugere uma nova relação com o tempo. Tendo em vista o contexto bélico que se estende no país, as reflexões que aqui se apresentam são resultantes de uma observação dos materiais dispostos nos sites das instituições museológicas citadas, bem como de matérias jornalísticas divulgadas na imprensa internacional.

Authors: Müller Andressa Coelho , Oliveira Marilda Oliveira de
Published: October 2024

O presente manuscrito é um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado, atravessada pelas filosofias da diferença, que olha para uma instituição de reeducação, movida pela problemática: o que podem as experiências estéticas em um espaço de reeducação de crianças e jovens? O estudo realizado em um abrigo institucional de um município do interior do Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil, propõe experiências estéticas com o objetivo de criar circunstâncias (Deligny, 2018a) em meio à arte e às crianças e jovens que habitam instituições reeducativas. A pesquisa com arte (Mossi; Oliveira, 2018), é atravessada pela construção contínua de diários visuais e/ou textuais (Oliveira, 2012) e convoca autores como Deligny (2018a, 2018b), Foucault (2014) e Deleuze (1988-1989, 1992, 2006) para produzir contágios teóricos. Aposta-se na invenção de novos tempos para habitar instituições de reeducação, tempos abertos ao inútil, no qual não há a pretensão de produzir ou ensinar algo à infância em qualquer idade, assumindo o “infanciar” (Kohan; Fernandes, 2023) como condição para a criação de circunstâncias.

Published: October 2024

In order to further improve the prediction accuracy of the thermal error model of the feed shaft of the gear grinding machine, this paper proposes a feed shaft thermal expansion error modeling method based on principal component regression. The feed shaft positioning error is decoupled by linear fitting to obtain the thermal expansion slope parameter, the position correlation of the feed shaft thermal expansion error is eliminated, and a regression model of the thermal expansion slope parameter and the temperature of all measuring points is established based on the principal component regression algorithm. Different from the traditional method, the principal component regression model does not require additional screening of temperature sensitive points, and the root mean square error mean and standard deviation of the group experimental prediction results can reach 2.0 μm/m、0.9μm/m, which has higher accuracy and stability than conventional methods.

Authors: Baofeng Sun , Han Chenyu , Zhang Yingzhi , Yuqi Chen
Published: October 2024

In order to plan a reasonable scheme for the fleet travel and minimize the energy consumption of electric vehicles during traffic congestion periods, while relieving the mileage anxiety of delivery personnel, the pure electric delivery vehicle routing problem considering time-varying traffic congestion was studied. Firstly , a novel mixed integer programming model (TD-EVRP) is established to step for its extended model of EVRP, which especially characterizes the time-varying traffic congestion state and measures the energy consumption of electric delivery vehicles. This model also refines its constraints including customer time window, vehicle load, and vehicle charging requirements. Secondly, a traffic congestion avoidance strategy is introduced into the model, which allows vehicles to park and charge at customer points during peak traffic periods in order to actively avoid unnecessary energy consumption caused by traffic congestion. Finally, the improved ant colony algorithm is designed to acquire the optimal solution.

Published: October 2024

In view of the fact that the state machine decision model cannot effectively handle the rich contextual information and the influence of uncertain factors in ice and snow environments, a deep reinforcement learning agent based on the deep Q network algorithm (DQN) was constructed. The motion planner was used to augment the agent, and the rule-based decision planning module and the deep reinforcement learning model were integrated to establish the DQN-planner model, thereby improving the convergence speed and driving ability of the reinforcement learning agent. Finally, based on the CARLA simulation platform, a comparative experiment was conducted on the driving ability of the DQN model and the DQN-planner model on low-adhesion ice and snow roads, and the training process and verification results were analyzed respectively.

Published: October 2024

Aiming at the problem of uneven preload of raised flange, a model considering elastic interaction is established to study the uniformity of bolt load under raised flange connection. Firstly, the elastic interaction coefficient method of bolt flange connection structure is extended to multiple times, and the initial preload of all bolts at each tightening step is determined by analytical model; secondly, a three-dimensional finite element model of bolt flange connection structure is established, and the correctness of the finite element model is verified by comparing with the literature test, and the influence of tightening sequence and tightening steps on bolt preload is explored; finally, the results of raised flange under symmetrical tightening conditions with and without considering elastic interaction are compared and analyzed. The results show that when the tightening method is symmetrical tightening and the tightening steps are three steps, the elastic interaction of each bolt is the smallest, and the final preload uniformity is better; on this basis, the results of the model considering elastic interaction further improve the uniformity of the final preload and are closer to the target preload. The problem of bolt preload dispersion caused by elastic interaction is solved, and the research results can provide guidance for the safety and reliability design of bolt flange connection structure.

Published: October 2024

Detecting water ice in the permanent shadow area of the lunar south pole is an important task of China's Chang'e-7. For this purpose, a simulation study was carried out under the earth environment, and a test sample of polar water-containing simulated lunar soil was prepared. The mechanical properties of the lunar soil simulant were tested under ultra-low temperature conditions, and the changes in water content, relative density, temperature, loading rate, and base material ratio with compressive strength were analyzed. The results show that the compressive strength of the frozen lunar soil simulant increases with the increase of water content, increases with the increase of density, and increases with the decrease of temperature. It is less affected by the change of loading rate. The order of compressive strength affected by different base material ratios is: 100%anorthosite, <90%anorthosite, +10%basalt <70%, +30%anorthosite <100%, basalt, lunar soil simulant. Finally, the correlation between the basic physical properties of lunar soil simulant such as water content, relative density, temperature, loading rate, and ratio and compressive strength is explored through grey correlation analysis. The correlation order is: water content> density> temperature> ratio> loading rate. This paper prepared and tested the mechanical properties of hydrated lunar soil, and proposed a more systematic and standardized implementation plan. It serves as the basis for studying the properties of hydrated lunar soil in the polar region, and provides a theoretical basis and reference for subsequent lunar soil simulation research.

Authors: Yuande Jiang , Otto Kevin , Williams Charlotte , Kongjian Qin , Bingbing Zheng
Published: October 2024

In order to coordinate the control objectives of the longitudinal and lateral auxiliary driving system of the vehicle and the vehicle dynamics control requirements, this paper takes the four-wheel independent drive electric vehicle as the control object, and combines deep learning and model predictive control to establish the vehicle generalized control force prediction-dynamic optimization distribution control strategy. The upper-level algorithm calculates the generalized control force that meets the vehicle control requirements according to the reference objectives of the longitudinal and lateral auxiliary driving strategies; the middle-level module includes the vehicle expected generalized force neural network prediction model and the active set numerical solution algorithm; the lower level calculates the tire slip rate and sideslip angle according to the expected tire force, realizes the tire force control requirements by controlling the motor torque and the braking system, and adjusts the vehicle movement direction through the steering system. This paper uses simulation tests and hardware-in-the-loop tests to verify the algorithm. The results show that the established algorithm can simultaneously meet the longitudinal and lateral control requirements of the vehicle, with a lateral path following error of 0.0117 m and a vehicle speed error of 0.59 km/h.

Authors: Yang Li , Yibin Wang , Chunling Zhu , Chengxiang Zhu
Published: October 2024

Mean volumetric diameter (MVD) and liquid water content (LWC) are two important meteorological parameters that affect aircraft icing, but they are difficult to measure accurately in practice. If these two parameters can be obtained in real time and accurately, it can provide some guidance for ice accumulation prediction and the establishment of aircraft airworthiness certification standards. This paper proposes a prediction model for icing meteorological parameters based on genetic algorithm optimized neural network. With ice thickness and icing rate of different measurement point combinations, ambient temperature, flight speed and wing angle of attack as input parameters, and icing meteorological parameters MVD and LWC as output parameters, the genetic algorithm optimized icing meteorological parameter prediction model is constructed, and the prediction model is used to predict the icing meteorological parameters of the numerical calculation test group data and the icing wind tunnel experimental data. The results show that the prediction model based on genetic algorithm optimized Elman neural network predicts the icing meteorological parameters of the test group within the relative error of the test group 10%, and the relative error of the experimental data is within the relative error of the experimental data 20%. This method has certain feasibility.

Published: October 2024

The vehicle transmission system is a power transmission device between the engine and the wheel load. As the connecting hub of the power system, the travel system and the braking system, it ensures the mobility and safety of special equipment in combat missions. From the four aspects of the transmission system structure composition characteristics, power transmission characteristics, energy flow characteristics and vehicle power characteristics, it is demonstrated that the transmission efficiency is an important technical indicator for evaluating the performance of the transmission system; based on the analysis of the relationship between power loss and transmission efficiency, a global model framework of the power loss of the transmission system is established from the perspective of the generation mechanism and structural characteristics, providing a theoretical basis for the performance characterization of the transmission system; from the three aspects of theoretical numerical research, simulation research and experimental demonstration research of transmission efficiency, the difficulties and key points of the research on the power loss of the vehicle transmission system are discussed, and it is pointed out that the multi-media and multi-parameter coupling simulation analysis and experimental research of large-scale mechanical equipment under complex operating conditions can provide guidance for the performance optimization and health management of vehicle transmission components, and the performance evaluation and matching design of the transmission system; it is expected that the comprehensive transmission efficiency analysis under multiple factors, as well as the coupling research of power loss characteristics, efficiency characteristics and performance degradation characteristics based on intelligent algorithms have practical engineering significance for the performance monitoring and evaluation of large-scale mechanical equipment.
Infrared image super-resolution reconstruction based on visible light image guidance and recursive fusion
Authors: Jue Zhang , Minglei Sun , Ziyuan Liu , Yemei Sun , Shudong Liu
Published: October 2024

Due to the limitations of hardware equipment, infrared images generally have problems such as low resolution, blurred details and poor visual quality during acquisition. Using visible light images to guide the super-resolution reconstruction of infrared images is an effective way to improve the resolution of infrared images. However, the imaging principles of visible light images and infrared images are different, resulting in differences in detail information between the two images, so problems such as blur and ghosting may occur during reconstruction. This paper proposes an infrared image super-resolution network based on visible light image guidance and recursive fusion. In this network, a flow Fourier residual module is designed, and modules of different depths are used to extract information of different frequencies in visible light images and infrared images, so that each module focuses on the appropriate frequency information. At the same time, a hybrid attention module is used to obtain detail information in multimodal images from channel and spatial perspectives, and fuse them in a complementary way, which helps to eliminate the generation of artifacts. On this basis, a global recursive fusion branch is designed to consider the correlation between multi-layer features, adaptively fuse multi-layer features, and generate clearer high-resolution infrared images. Experimental results show that compared with the comparative methods, this method performs better in objective evaluation indicators; in terms of subjective visual comparison, the images reconstructed by this method have clearer textures and fewer artifacts, and better object distinction in complex environments.

Authors: Baohui Jia , Chen Shi-shuenn , Yuan Gao , Yuxin Wang
Published: October 2024

With the continuous development of civil aircraft health management technology, the status monitoring data of important aircraft systems and components are constantly enriched. The health status of the front landing gear hydraulic retraction system has a great impact on the take-off and landing of the aircraft. Although the system has multi-dimensional monitoring parameters, it is difficult to effectively use the system monitoring data to accurately evaluate its health status. Aiming at the health assessment problem of the front landing gear hydraulic retraction system, this paper builds a simulation model of the system through AMESim software modeling, and studies the influence of the performance changes of hydraulic component parameters on the front landing gear retraction performance. The performance data of the front landing gear retraction actuator at different levels of failure are used as the original data, and the characterization parameters such as retraction time and maximum flow rate are extracted. A health index construction method based on generalized regression neural network (GRNN) is proposed, which can more effectively evaluate the health status of the system. Its effectiveness and accuracy are proved by method comparison.

Authors: Pumiviset Worakorn , Suttipun Muttanachai
Published: October 2024

The main objective of this study was to examine the mediating effect of a sustainable competitive advantage on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and organizational performance among Thai SMEs. A questionnaire survey was used to gather data from 336 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand. Investigation of the resulting data demonstrated that participating in CSR initiatives enhances the sustainable competitive advantage and organizational performance of Thai SMEs. Moreover, a sustainable competitive advantage was found to serve as a partial mediator between CSR and organizational performance. This research uses stakeholder theory and the resource-based view theory to explain the link between CSR and organizational success. A competitive advantage significantly influences both strategic management and organizational performance. CSR is a process of transforming a company’s sustainable initiatives into sustainable competitive advantages that impact the organization’s performance.

Porous Cu foam electrodes, suitable for cathodic CO2 reduction, were deposited in an acidic sulphate solution with different additives to obtain structures with a high real surface area and an adequate mechanical stability. The influence of the electrodeposition time and solution composition on the porosity parameters, microstructure and stiffness of Cu 3D structures was evaluated. Neither ammonium acetate nor polyethylene glycol were found to be effective additives to the Cu sulphate electrolyte to achieve the main objectives. Only the presence of Cl– ions in the deposition solution resulted in a threefold increase in the real surface area and the achievement of a sufficient mechanical stability of the Cu 3D structure. The latter effect is related to the specific influence of Cl– ions during the electrodeposition process on the microstructural characteristics, such as the size of micropores in the walls of holes and crystallite aggregates that form dendritic branches. These structural changes, in contrast to the Cu samples deposited in a solution without additives, resulted in larger real surface areas, while the denser structures deposited in the presence of Cl– ions ensured the mechanical stability of the 3D structure.

Published: October 2024

In this work, microcapsules containing isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) encapsulated within a polyurea (PU) shell were synthesised via an oil-in-water emulsion interfacial polymerisation reaction involving tris(4-isocyanato phenyl)thiophosphate (TIPTP) and triethylenetetramine (TETA). Characterisation of the resulting microcapsules was conducted using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Various encapsulation parameters such as core-to-shell ratio, agitation speed, emulsifier type and concentration, and reaction time were systematically varied at four different levels. Optimisation of microencapsulation was performed using a Taguchi L16 parameter design approach, aiming to maximise desired outcomes (i.e. maximal core content and yield) while keeping the targeted microcapsule diameter of 50 µm. Under optimal conditions, the IPDI core content within microcapsules was up to 75% and the microcapsule yield was up to 49%.

Patients who are allergic to nickel, which is present in stainless steel brackets and wires, commonly utilise clear aligners. The objective of this research was to compare the management of mandibular incisor crowding with nickel titanium (NiTi) wires and clear aligners. A random division of forty participants into two groups of twenty samples each was made. Participants in group B received transparent aligners, whereas those in group A received NiTi arch wires. We assessed malocclusion using Little's irregularity index. A survey instrument was utilised to document the degree of discomfort. Patients were routinely recalled every one, two, and three months. The mean score for groups A and B was 2.86 mm and 2.88 mm at baseline, 1.71 mm and 1.52 mm at one month, 1.02 mm and 1.23 mm at two months, and 0.72 mm and 0.48 mm at three months, respectively. The difference wasn't that big (p > 0.05). In groups A and B, the mean change in Little's irregularity index score was 1.19 mm and 1.21 mm at one month, 0.55 mm and 0.51 mm at two months, and 0.26 mm and 0.45 mm at three months, respectively. The difference wasn't that big (p > 0.05). For groups A and B, the corresponding mean discomfort scores were 2.6 and 2.3 at baseline, 2.2 and 1.8 after one month, 1.6 and 1.5 at two months, and 1.1 and 0.9 at three months. Since p > 0.05, the difference was not significant. The results of this study showed that NiTi wires and clear aligners worked just as well to treat cases of mandibular anterior crowding.

A periodontal pocket can result into progressive loss of attachment. Many agents are tried to improve periodontal health. Hence this research was done to estimate the effectiveness of Tetracycline fibers; Probiotics and Chlorhexidine gel as a conjunction to scaling and root planning (SRP) in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. In all, 60 patients between the ages of 25 and 35 who had generalized chronic periodontitis and had a probing pocket depth (PPD) of at least 5 mm were enrolled for this study. Four groups of 15 patients each were created from the patients: Group 1: Tetracycline fibres after SRP, Group 2: Chlorhexidine gel, Group 3: Probiotic mouthwash and Group 4: Rinse with regular saline. At baseline, oral prophylaxis was administered to all groups. Gingival index (GI), Plaque index (PI), and probing depth (PD), among other clinical indicators, were evaluated at baseline, two weeks, and four weeks, respectively. All clinical findings, along withPlaque index (PI), Gingival index (GI), and Probing depth at various time intervals, decreased statistically significantly. Tetracycline fibres, Chlorhexidine gel, and probiotic mouthwash are all similarly effective for treating chronic periodontitis, but they are all more effective than SRP alone, according to an intergroup comparison. When it comes to SRP, local medication delivery methods are beneficial in treating periodontitis.

El estudio se enfocó en analizar el emprendimiento femenino y desigualdades laborales en Ecuador, caso de estudio mujeres de la Fundación Warmi Ametsak “Sueños de Mujer” WASMU de la ciudad de Ibarra. El tipo de investigación se clasificó como descriptivo y transversal, se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo, recolectando datos a través de un censo que incluyó encuestas a 90 mujeres, abarcando aspectos demográficos, de emprendimiento y condiciones laborales. Los hallazgos revelaron que, a pesar de tener niveles educativos similares, estas mujeres enfrentan limitaciones de empleo y económicas significativas, ganando menos del salario mínimo y un considerable número trabajando de manera autónoma bajo condiciones inestables. Además, la investigación destacó la influencia del tipo de vivienda en las circunstancias de salud y la correlación entre la falta de servicios de cuidado infantil y la limitada participación laboral. Se concluyó que, existe una desconexión entre la educación y las oportunidades económicas reales y existiendo barreras estructurales limitantes para el empoderamiento económico femenino de los sectores vulnerables a las cuales ofrecen apoyo las fundaciones sin fines de lucro. Se destaca también la problemática de las madres que dejan a sus hijos solos en casa mientras trabajan, evidenciando una falta crítica de apoyo para el cuidado infantil, la necesidad urgente de implementar políticas que ofrezcan servicios de cuidado infantil accesibles y seguros para permitir que las madres participen plenamente en la fuerza laboral sin comprometer la seguridad y el bienestar de los hijos menores de edad.

The Investigator Is a Participant in the Process on the Side of the Prosecution: Evil or Good?
Authors: Tarasov Alexander
Published: October 2024

Classifying the investigator as a participant in the process on the part of the prosecution does not relieve him, as a representative of the state, of the obligation to comprehensively, fully and objectively investigate the circumstances of the case, and based on the results of the investigation, formulate and substantiate the charge, which is subsequently sent by the prosecutor to the court, or abandon criminal prosecution and terminate the proceedings in a criminal case. The presence or absence in the law of a special rule on a comprehensive, complete and objective study of the circumstances of a criminal case does not play a decisive role in determining the quality of the investigator's evidentiary work — when sending the charge to the prosecutor and to the court, the investigator is obliged to refute the arguments of the defense with reason and eliminate doubts about the guilt of the accused by virtue of the presumption innocence, enshrined in Article 14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. Otherwise, the accusation formulated and substantiated by the investigator will not be supported by the prosecutor or will not stand the test of the adversarial procedures of the trial. There is no fatal contradiction between a comprehensive, complete and objective investigation of the circumstances of a criminal case and the implementation of criminal prosecution on behalf of the state. Purpose of the study: to prove that it is more productive for solving theoretical and practical problems of pre-trial proceedings in criminal cases not to assign to the investigator the status of an objective researcher neutral in relation to the parties of the prosecution and defense, but, on the contrary, to recognize the investigator as a participant in the process on the part of the prosecution. Such recognition is associated with the creation and maintenance of a number of procedural mechanisms that make it possible to compensate for the actual inequality of the parties in pre-trial proceedings. The main research method is system-structural analysis and synthesis; logical and special legal and comparative legal methods are also used. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were formulated about the positive significance of the legislative inclusion of the investigator as a participant in the process on the part of the prosecution, which, on the one hand, does not relieve him of the obligation to comprehensively, fully and objectively investigate the circumstances of the criminal case, and on the other hand, requires the legislator to legally the state imposes additional responsibilities on the ruling entity to ensure the implementation of the rights of the defense party and the creation of special procedural mechanisms that compensate for the legal and factual inequality of the parties in pretrial proceedings.
Legal Force of an Administrative Act: The Problem of Definition
Authors: Sherstoboev Oleg
Published: October 2024

The legal force of an administrative act determines its validity, affects the powers of an administrative body that adopted this act to change or cancel it, and the legal force makes the act binding on every administrative authority and every person interested in this act. This term has not yet been fully studied and is absent from Russian legislation. There are some questions about the implementation of the theory of the substantive and formal legal force of an administrative act into the doctrine. There are also problems of the relationship between the legal force of the original act and the act derived from it. It is necessary to clarify the possibility of using administrative discretion when resolving issues of the legal force of administrative acts. To research legal force of an administrative act, traditional methods of legal study were used, especially the historical-law method and the comparative law method, which are of great importance for this article. They have allowed to find Russian tradition, which has to be used to develop the doctrine of legal force of an administrative act, and the main foreign legal research on this subject could be compared with Russian thought and common features were discovered that could also be used to improve the Russian doctrine. As a result, the terms substantive and formal legal force should be returned to the Russian legal vocabulary, since they were used to describe legal force in our legal tradition. Interesting results can be obtained by comparing judgements and administrative acts, and the specificity of administrative acts will be emphasized. This way allows to apply some legal constructions characteristic of a judicial theory well developed in practice, including the “Roman basis” of the legal force of an administrative act. The division of administrative acts into void and voidable will make it possible to clarify ideas about their legal force, as well as the powers of authorities to amend or cancel such acts. The scope of administrative discretion when deciding questions of the validity of void and voidable acts will also vary.
Adaptive control of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles based on energy management strategy and dynamic programming algorithm
Authors: Ge Yuxin
Published: October 2024

This study mainly analyses the fuel consumption of plug-in hybrid vehicles during operation. A new control method for automobiles based on energy management strategy and dynamic programming algorithm is proposed. The new method plans and analyses the minimum electricity consumption, and then uses dynamic programming algorithms to analyse this parameter. The research results indicated that the vehicle state was constantly changing with the variation of SOC value during driving. The energy mobilization of the vehicle was more obvious after adding dynamic programming strategy. The efficiency of the vehicle was relatively high in driving state 1, with a minimum value of 70%, which was about 20% higher than in driving state 4. The average fuel consumption in driving state 2 was 1.8L higher than in other driving states. The overall efficiency of automobiles after incorporating dynamic programming was improved, with a shorter time to reach the lowest efficiency point compared with not incorporating dynamic programming algorithms. The highest efficiency value was 7.86% higher than that of not incorporating dynamic programming models. The new control method can reduce energy consumption and improve the energy management and control effect. The study provides a better research direction for energy management and control of hybrid electric vehicles in the future.
Commercial determinants of health and cancer prevention in South Africa
Authors: Goldstein Susan , Mahomedy Sameera
Published: October 2024

Aim

Commercial determinants, encompassing marketing strategies, corporate social responsibility, and lobbying, significantly contribute to avoidable cancer deaths globally. In South Africa, 30-50% of cancers are preventable, but SA focuses mainly on tobacco control, ignoring major causes of cancer such as alcohol, obesity, and ultra-processed foods. This paper highlights the role of these commercial determinants in contributing to cancer in SA. It outlines strategies and barriers in addressing these determinants.

Approach

While conventional approaches focus on individual responsibility relating to risk factors like tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy diets, the role of industries in promoting these risk factors remains inadequately addressed. The paper explores the marketing and non-marketing methods employed by industries, such as tobacco, alcohol, and ultra-processed products, to maximise profits while neglecting public health consequences.

Findings

The article sheds light on industry tactics, including strategic partnerships, sponsorship, and diversionary narratives during crises, aimed at safeguarding profits. It emphasises the less-explored realm of non-marketing strategies, such as political lobbying, industry-funded research, and the ‘revolving door’ phenomenon where industry insiders become policymakers.

Conclusions

The article advocates for a paradigm shift in cancer prevention policies, urging the government to implement a comprehensive suite of measures that include increased taxation on harmful products, strict restrictions on marketing, enhanced product labelling, and eliminating conflict of interest in health research and policies. Addressing the commercial determinants necessitates not only recognising their impact but also adopting a multi-level governance approach that prioritises public health over corporate profits.

The paper concludes by emphasising the urgency of recognising the links between alcohol, food regulation, and cancer prevention. The overarching goal is to shift power relations, fostering governance for the collective good and ensuring equitable access to preventive measures, especially for vulnerable populations.
