Authors: Yukun Yukun , Tu Yaojen , Lin Wenpeng , Li Weiyue , Cheng Qianwen
Published: December 2022

Hyperspectral remote sensing is thought to be a useful technology for
assessing the condition of inland waters. However, non-optically active
water quality parameters are rarely explored in hyperspectral remote
sensing applications, despite they are highly valued in the aquatic
environment condition. This study intends to evaluate the performance of
non-optically active water quality parameters using Zhuhai-1
hyperspectral imagery. Focusing on total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus
(TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) in Taipu
River, we constructed empirical models to evaluate the precision of
water quality inversion from OHS by comparing with Sentinel-2, and
determined the sensitive bands of different water quality parameters.
The final results showed that the polynomial model based on OHS had the
greatest potential in retrieving TN, TP and NH3-N concentration, and the
R2 was 0.9678, 0.7924, 0.7682 respectively. The combination of
R(510)/R(820) and R(700)/R(806), R(940)/R(820) and R(806)/R(926),
R(709)/R(806) and R(746)/R(620) were most sensitive to TN, TP and NH3-N
respectively. The OHS and Sentinel-2 both had potential in retrieving
NO3-N. The R2 was 0.9791 from OHS and was 0.9513 from Sentinel-2. The
sensitive bands of NO3-N were R(596)/R(665) and R(466)/R(580) from OHS,
and Red Eage3/Blue and SWIR1/Blue from Sentinel-2. We also analyzed the
drivers of the spatial distribution of water quality in Taipu River, the
results showed negative impacts of farmland and urban land on water
quality, and beneficial impacts of forest land on water quality. This
study represented a promising step in hyperspectral remote sensing for
retrieving inland non-optically active water quality parameters
utilizing Zhuhai-1.
The influence of strong tides on the formation of Amundsen Sea Polynya
Authors: Zhuo Mengting , Hu Song , Hong Yu , Du Yan
Published: December 2022

Polynyas play an important role in climate change with an efficient
exchange of heat and matter between the atmosphere and the ocean in
polar regions. This study investigated the influence of strong tides and
atmospheric forcing on the Amundsen Sea Polynya, especially focusing on
large-area polynya events from 2002 to 2020. We found that the
geographical locations of the polynyas are closely related to the
underwater ridge, where tidal currents are relatively strong. More
importantly, strong cross-ridge winds are the “triggers” above the sea
surface for the initial formation of the Amundsen Sea Polynya, while
strong tides under the sea surface tend to create large-area polynya.
Four of the five largest polynya events occurred mainly during spring
tides. Only the 2016 event occurred during the normal tide period, which
was atmosphere-dominated. Strong tides significantly affect the
evolution of polynyas by strengthening the vertical mixing of seawater.
Given that ocean in Antarctica might become warmer, tidal mixing might
enhance the mixing in the future climate.
Landscape architecture design as an art creative practice: A studio teaching model
Authors: Al-Deen Mohammad Omar Hosam , Alabdullah Montasir Masoud
Published: December 2022

Landscape Architecture is defined as a blend of art and science. However, it has been acknowledged that configuration of design forms, which is related to spatial composition and element forms is the most challenging design aspect that the students face in learning the design process in the basic design course. This is not the case for the scientific aspects where students can establish their ability and confidence in learning landscape technical issues and functional requirements. This paper discusses the outcomes of the first Landscape Architecture Design Studio at the Department of Landscape Architecture at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU), which represents the first foundation stone for Landscape Architecture design education. The Landscape Architecture Studio has examined the role of creative practice in art plays in the landscape architecture design process in the light of Zangwill’s Aesthetic Creation Theory (ACT), and following the Form-Based Design (FBD) approach process defined by Stefano Fillipi. In this studio, students were asked to design a private garden related to, hypothetically, an artist’s family house. Based on the FBD approach, each student chose a specific modern artist, supposedly owning the garden house, and studied his artistic principles of forms, patterns, colours and composition, and used them as an inspiration for their own art paintings. The students’ art pieces acted as the basis for conceptualising their design preliminary plans and 3D images. As a result of this studio, students showed a great interest in the studio artistic approach, and demonstrated a significant ability to translate the artistic principles and qualities existing in creative painting successfully into their landscape architecture design. At the end of the teaching process, a reflective student survey feedback from instructors indicated that students had learned about the aesthetic creative approach and were able to understand the role non-aesthetic properties played into manifesting the design aesthetic quality.

Objective: Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) is recently identified as an amplifier of transforming growth factor (TGF)- beta- induced kidney fibrosis in animal models. We aim to study whether urine LRG1 is associated with risk for progression to end stage kidney disease (ESKD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes. 

Design and Methods: 1837 participants with type 2 diabetes and eGFR above 30 ml/min/1.73m2 were recruited from a regional hospital and a primary care facility. Association of urine LRG1 with risk for ESKD (progression to sustained eGFR < 15 ml/min/1.73m2, dialysis or renal death) was assessed by survival analyses.

Results: 134 incident ESKD events were identified during a median follow-up of 8.6 (IQR 5.8-9.6) years. As compared to the lowest tertile, participants with baseline urine LRG1 in the highest tertile had 1.91 (95% CI 1.04- 3.50) folds increased risk for progression to ESKD after adjustment for cardio-renal risk factors including eGFR and albuminuria. As a continuous variable, one SD increment in urine LRG1 was associated with 1.53 (95% CI 1.19-1.98) folds adjusted risk for ESKD. Of note, the association of urine LRG1 with ESKD was independent of plasma LRG1. Moreover, urine LRG1 was associated with rapid kidney function decline and progression to macroalbuminuria, two common pathways leading to ESKD. 

Conclusions: Urine LRG1, a TGF-beta signalling modulator, predicts risk for progression to ESKD independent of clinical risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting that it may be a novel factor involving in the pathophysiological pathway leading to kidney disease progression.

Published: December 2022

Research on monitoring systems with control has been developed with several different inputs and outputs. This research has realized a smart greenhouse monitoring tool with temperature and soil moisture control on orchid plants based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This study aims to create a monitoring tool for temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, and water level. In the system, the microcontroller used is Wemos D1 R1, with inputs in the form of a DHT-11 sensor to measure air temperature and humidity, a soil moisture sensor to measure soil moisture, and an ultrasonic sensor to measure the water level in the containers. The resulting system output is in the form of pump and fan control. Based on the results of sensor testing, the accuracy of the DHT-11 sensor is 99.97%, the error is 0.03%, the soil moisture sensor is 98.63% accurate, the error is 1.37%, and the ultrasonic sensor is 97, 61% with an error of 2.89%. Based on the research results, the system can run well, as shown by Thingspeak, and the website smartgreenhouseanggrek.weebly.com can receive the results of monitoring sensor data using an internet connection. The tool will carry out the process of wateringplants when the soil moisture value read by the sensor is 20% and will stop watering when the sensor reads the soil moisture value reaches >= 50%. In contrast, the air temperature control is done by turning on the fan if the temperature reaches 30° C.
Työyhteisön sosiaalinen pääoma ja työntekijöiden työkyky: pseudokokeellinen tutkimus
Authors: Lintula Lotta , Salo Paula , Halonen Jaana , Aalto Ville , Ervasti Jenni , Kouvonen Anne , Oksanen Tuula
Published: December 2022

Sosiaalinen pääoma kuvaa yksilöiden ja yhteisöjen välisiä sosiaalisia verkostoja ja normeja ja niissä syntyvää luottamusta ja vastavuoroisuutta. Työyhteisöstä saatava sosiaalinen pääoma edistää työntekijöiden hyvinvointia ja ennaltaehkäisee sairastavuutta. Väestön ikääntyessä on tärkeää löytää keinoja työntekijöiden työkyvyn ylläpitoon, ja työpaikan sosiaalisen pääoman tukemisella voisi olla keskeinen rooli. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin, onko työyhteisön sosiaalisen pääoman väheneminen yhteydessä työntekijän koettuun heikentyneeseen työkykyyn. Työyhteisön sosiaalista pääomaa mitattiin sekä yksilön itsearviona että työtovereiden arviona.
Tutkimuksessa käytettiin Työterveyslaitoksen Kuntasektorin seurantatutkimuksen aineistoa. Otokset muodostuivat sairaaloista ja kunnista vuosina 2012, 2015/2016 ja 2017/2018 kerätystä aineistosta ja sisälsivät 11 196 (yksilön sosiaalinen pääoma) sekä 9 579 (työyksikön sosiaalinen pääoma) vastaajaa. Tutkimus toteutettiin kokeellista asetelmaa jäljittelevänä pseudokokeellisena asetelmana, joka mahdollisti sosiaalisen pääoman ja työkyvyn muutosten ajallisten yhteyksien tarkastelun. Aineisto analysoitiin logistisella regressioanalyysilla, jossa tarkasteltiin miten työyhteisön sosiaalisen pääoman väheneminen ensimmäisen ja toisen aikapisteen välissä ennustaa työntekijän heikentynyttä työkykyä kolmannessa aikapisteessä. Analyyseissa kontrolloitiin ikä, sukupuoli, ammattiasema, siviilisääty, työaikamuoto sekä terveyskäyttäytymiseen ja terveydentilaan liittyviä tekijöitä.
Yksilön sosiaalisen pääoman väheneminen ennusti työntekijän työkyvyn heikentymistä myös kovariaattien vakioinnin jälkeen. Muilta työyksikön jäseniltä mitattu sosiaalisen pääoman väheneminen ennusti heikentynyttä työkykyä vakioimattomassa analyysissa, mutta vakioinnin jälkeen tulos ei ollut tilastollisesti merkitsevä.
Työyhteisön sosiaalisen pääoman väheneminen saattaa heikentää työntekijän työkykyä. Työyhteisön sosiaalisen pääoman tukemiseksi tulisi löytää keinoja työpaikoilla ja jatkotutkimuksissa.

Walking between worlds: Critical reflections on navigating and negotiating change for Pacific within secondary schools in Aotearoa
Authors: Houghton Joseph Bruce Tutonga , Houghton Christopher Ian Rongo-Mate-o-Taku-Ariki Sullivan
Published: December 2022

Schools in Aotearoa New Zealand often find it challenging to align Pacific value systems with their own forms of leadership and culture. The education system is being asked to shift its practice when it comes to Pacific learners, families and communities, including the Pacific teaching workforce. This paper aims to offer reflections from two Pacific education leaders who have recently left their schools and are currently working in different areas of the education sector in Aotearoa New Zealand. Specifically, it seeks to outline our experiences, while offering thoughts derived from Pacific epistemologies. Challenging and disrupting the western model that is currently the foundation of how schools operate in this country is critical, particularly as we work to support Pacific teachers and students. As two Cook Islands teachers and researchers located in Waitaha, Canterbury, we have sought to live these shifts in our contexts, focusing on building teacher capacity and changing approaches within the pastoral care system.
TE VAKA POKAIKAI – Voyage to excellence
Authors: Solomon Tereapii , Tarai Teokotai
Published: December 2022

Secondary school teaching is a profession that requires critical reflexivity to bring about change for marginalized communities. Fortunately, this is something we as Pasifika/Pacific leaders often do, with the intent to improve education outcomes for the students we teach, especially the Pasifika/Pacific students we have stewardship over. Everything we have done and continue to do at Tokoroa High School and in our community is intentional. We are intentional in our planning, conversations, and actions. In this paper we intentionally prioritise the use of our own cultural knowledge, values, and practices to enable change; shifting direction towards Cook Islands-inspired patu tuatua (conversations) within the western education system we work within, in Aotearoa-NZ. We often draw from our ancestral knowledge through sources that are not published in western academia but are deeply embedded in our ancestral knowledge systems tied explicitly to our ‘enua - land. Our positioning of patu tuatua stems from being inspired by Indigenous Pasifika/Pacific practices and finding the courage to develop a cultural framework that connects with Cook Islands worldviews from and within the context of education. Our cultural framework – Te Vaka Pokaikai is based on five key components: Orama – vision; Kite – knowledge; Itiki’anga – connections; Piri’anga – relationships; and Te Au Irinaki’anga – values.
Change in composition of periphyton of filtration elements in recirculation aquaculture systems under combined impact of UV radiation and ultrasound
Authors: Klimov Viktor Aleksandrovich , Nikiforov-Nikishin Aleksey Lvovich , Kochetkov Nikita , Gorbunov Aleksandr Vcheslavovich
Published: December 2022

The article considers the effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ultrasound (US) on the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the filtration elements periphyton in a recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) under different treatment regimens. It is assumed that the combined effect of UV and US will improve the efficiency of water purification in the RAS and also contribute to the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms. It was shown that the maximum diversity of periphyton organisms was observed in the absence of UV and US action. A total of 26 taxonomic units were found, with some of them categorized as unclassified (Unclassified_Rotifer; Unclassified_Nematode). High relative frequency of occurrence was noted for the species Arcella vulgaris (16.86%), Centropyxis aculeata (21.03%), and Arcella sp. (16.86%) of the testate amoebae class in the control group. Ciliates were also represented by a large number of species. Of 10 infusoria 6 belonged to free-living forms and 4 to sessile forms. Vorticella convallaria (16.21%), Stylonychia pustulata (13.98%), Zoothamnium sp. (13.98%) had the highest relative occurrence in the control. Ultraviolet radiation led to changes in the abundance of certain groups of hydrobionts, in particular, representatives of ciliates and oligochaetes. Using a UV source reduced the relative frequency of Arcella sp. and Centropyxis sp. to 3.33 and 6.66% correspondingly, relative to the control. The combined impact of US and UV caused a significant decrease in the relative frequency of Ciliate and Oligoheata, but had little effect on testate amoebae and rotifers. According to the results obtained, it can be supposed that the presence of an additional source of US radiation contributes to the reduction of the number of free-living forms of parasitic infusoria and can prevent the development of microbial and parasitic diseases. Thus, additional studying the biofilter microbial community under the influence of UV and US radiation is required.

Published: December 2022

The aim of the research was to conduct biogeochemical monitoring of heavy metals composition in the ecosystem of the northwestern part of the Caspian Sea. The objects of the research were the water of the northwestern part of the Caspian Sea, bottom sediments, different types of crustaceans, mollusks, fish, as well as the Caspian seal. As a result of the research, metal concentrating aquatic organisms in the Caspian Sea were identified. Thus, gammarus accumulates Zn, shrimp – Cu, crab – Pb and Ni, balanus – Hg, Pb, Cd; mollusk Didacna accumulates mainly Zn, Cd, and Hg; mytilaster – Cu, Co; cerastoderma – Pb; vobla – Zn and Hg; benthophilus - Pb and Mn; needlefish – Cu, Pb, Cd, and sprat – Zn and Hg. Specific features of metal accumulation by hydrobionts have been found out: Zn, Pb and Cd are accumulated mainly by invertebrates; Cu, Co, Mn are accumulated to the greatest extent by representatives of Crustacea; Ni – by Mollusca species; Hg is accumulated to the greatest extent by vertebrates. There have been revealed the regularities in distribution of chemical elements concentrations in the organs and tissues of aquatic organisms occupying the tops of the trophic pyramids: Zn, Cu, Hg are predominantly accumulated in the liver, Co, Ni, Zn, Pb and Cd are accumulated in the kidneys, Pb, Co, Mn are accumulated in the gills, Hg – in muscle tissues. In Phoca caspica Pb accumulates in the adipose tissue and lungs, Hg, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cr, and Co – in the liver, and Pb, Cd and Ni – in the kidneys. Taking into account the calculated coefficients of chemical elements accumulation, it was inferred that Hg and Zn can accumulate in almost all links of the trophic chain; Cu, Co, Ni, Cd, Pb are accumulated mainly by invertebrates; Cr and Mn accumulate to a greater extent in bottom sediments.
Review of data on biology of nelma Stenodus leucichthys nelma (Pallas, 1773)
Authors: Buhardinova Marsella
Published: December 2022

Nelma (Stenodus leucichthys nelma (Pallas, 1773)) is one of the biggest predators and a prominent representative of the whitefish family. It is a poorly studied valuable commercial species. The rate of growth and sexual maturation of this fish is very high compared to other whitefishes. Within the vast range of white salmon populations living in different geographical zones there can be found variability in meristic and size-weight characteristics. There are also differences in the time of sexual maturity of species in different rivers. Some negative limiting factors impact the nelma populations: pollution of water bodies, poaching, and transformation of the flows of large rivers (building the hydroelectric power stations, reservoirs, etc.). There have been presented the review of the published literature on nelma biology and the data of the proper research. Comparative analysis of the meristic, size-weight and physiological characteristics of nelma populations from different rivers within the geographical range has been made. From the review of available literary sources it follows that today the populations of nelma are characterized by a radical decline and rejuvenation of the spawning stock in almost all rivers of its habitat. There is found reducing the spawning areas of the species due to the regulation of the flows of large rivers. Studying biology and ecology of nelma as a valuable and endangered species is important today.

The American Association of Veterinary Clinicians (AAVC) convened a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity working group in March 2021 to address the limited diversity (including but not limited to ethnic, racial, and cultural diversity) in clinical post-DVM graduate training programs and academic faculty. Concurrent with a working group formation, the AAVC developed a strategic plan. The central mission of the AAVC is to develop, support, and connect academic leaders to fuel the future of the veterinary medical profession. House officers and their training programs are central to all goals outlined in the strategic plan. Amongst other strategic goals, the working group identified best practices for intern and resident recruitment and selection. We report herein from the current health profession literature ways to identify and recruit talented, diverse candidates especially those with non-traditional (atypical) preparation and experience. We also provide recommendations on best practices for intern and resident selection. This document highlights holistic approaches, some of which are incrementally being incorporated into the Veterinary Intern Resident Matching Program application, that emphasize diversity as a selection criteria for intern and resident selection an important step towards building a more resilient and inclusive workforce. These include expanding candidate assessment beyond grades and class rank into a more standardized method for screening candidates that includes consideration of life experiences and talents outside of veterinary medicine.

Sharing the Burden of Student Success:
Authors: Heckrote Robert
Published: December 2022

One barrier to student success and retention is not seeking help before a problem becomes unmanageable. The focus of this paper is to describe how the implementation of a social capital development program integrated with institutional problem normalization may lead to student success and retention. Through the implementation of these two small, cost-effective interventions institutions can increase student success and retention by helping students reduce stigma about seeking help, increasing ease in communication, and address problems before they become unmanageable. A five-part example is introduced to develop institutional problem normalization and the shared burden of student success is demonstrated.

Debates persist regarding the perception of water either as an economic commodity or a social good. This article explores the evolution of water rights as human rights and examines initiatives to ensure and provide clean water in the post-disaster context of Gumbasa District. Employing a normative juridical approach, this research analyzes secondary data from library resources. Findings underscore that the right to water entails nondiscriminatory access for all. The research highlights the critical role of the Sigi Regency Government in addressing disparities in water access, which are influenced not only by economic inequality but also by geographic and natural conditions. These factors exacerbate challenges in securing clean water access for some community segments, particularly in restoring water sources post-disaster.
Judicial Oversight on Administrative Decisions in Afghanistan
Authors: Faiez Najibullah
Published: December 2022

Administrative decisions in Afghanistan are currently made without the support of written administrative laws or effective mechanisms for judicial oversight due to the national unstable situation from war. This article which is titled “Judicial Oversight on Administrative Decisions in Afghanistan” aims to investigate this issue and propose a dedicated mechanism for judicial oversight. This qualitative research was performed to answer a research question on administrative decisions and its judicial oversight. Desk review method was used, and interviews were conducted with academics in Administrative law. This article also explains the judicial oversight applied by other countries. The findings reveal that Afghanistan lacks an adequate mechanism for judicial oversight of administrative decisions, ruling out the feasibility of adopting models such as the administrative court system seen in France. Afghanistan needs to undergo significant reforms within the judicial system to effectively resolve administrative disputes. A crucial step is the urgent enactment of an Administrative Procedure Law tailored for the administrative court, aimed at streamlining investigation procedures, reducing court expenses, and improving citizen access to justice, thereby strengthening the rule of law in Afghanistan.

Published: December 2022

The provisions of the Limited Liability Company Law have not yet set specific regulations governing the application of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles. The law requires companies to adhere to general corporate standards without detailing the specific forms, procedures, responsibilities, or sanctions associated with GCG. This lack of detailed regulation can lead to legal uncertainty. This paper employs a normative legal research method to explore how management responsibilities may arise in the event of GCG violations in the management of a limited liability company (PT). Such responsibilities may include both civil and criminal liabilities.

Published: December 2022

The Notary Supervisory Council (MPN) aims to enhance services and legal protection for the public utilizing notarial services. However, there has been an increase in irregularities committed by notaries, both administrative and material, impacting public trust. The imposition of sanctions by the MPN, particularly by the Regional Supervisory Council (MPW), is intended to address and deter violations. Between 2016 and 2020, there were 40 documented violations related to notarial duties and positions in Banten Province. During this period, the rate of violations exhibited inconsistent fluctuations. The effectiveness of sanctions imposed by the MPW has been suboptimal, as indicated by the inconsistent trends in violations. Several challenges impede MPW's supervisory role, including insufficient cooperation from notaries, a lack of engagement during examination sessions, and the heavy workload of MPW members. To address these issues, it is recommended that MPW implement regular socialization efforts to enhance notary professionalism, strengthen the relationship between notaries and the MPW, and conduct comprehensive internal, external, repressive, and preventive supervision.

Patty Burger is minced meat, shaped round, flattened, steamed first, and then fried in butter or grilled over coals. Patin fish meat was chosen because it is high protein and low fat, the use of proportions of sorghum flour and wheat flour to improve product quality so that it is not easily crushed, the addition of carrageenan as a stabilizer to improve texture. This study aimed to determine the effect of the proportion of sorghum flour and wheat with the addition of carrageenan on the quality of the patty burger of patin fish This study used a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, factor I the proportions of sorghum flour and wheat flour (60%:40%, 70%:30%, 80%:20%) and factor II carrageenan concentration (0, 5%, 1%, 1.5%). Data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA, if there was a significant difference between treatments, a 5% DMRT further test was carried out. This study showed a significant interaction with the observation parameters of moisture content, ash content, fat content, WHC, texture, starch content, food fiber, and hedonic organoleptic tests (aroma scores, color scores, taste scores). The best results were obtained in the A2B2 treatment, proportion of sorghum and wheat flour (70%:30%) with the addition of 1.0% carrageenan with the characteristics of water content 57.74%, protein content 14.47%, fat content 5.18%, texture 0.13 mm/gr/sec, WHC 16.50%, starch 17.43% and a score of 3.87 (like) for color 3.82 (slightly like) for taste and 3.75 (slightly like) for scent.

Sentiment analysis aims to categorize opinions using an annotated corpus to train the model. However, building a high-quality, fully annotated corpus takes a lot of effort, time, and expense. The semi-supervised learning technique efficiently adds training data automatically from unlabeled data. The labeling process, which requires human expertise and requires time, can be helped by an SSL approach. This study aims to develop an SSL-Model for sentiment analysis and to compare the learning capabilities of Naive Bayes (NB) and Random Forest (RF) in the SSL. Our model attempts to annotate opinion documents in Indonesian. We use an ensemble multi-classifier that works on unigrams, bigrams, and trigrams vectors. Our model test uses a marketplace dataset containing rating comments scrapping from Shopee for smartphone products in the Indonesian Language. The research started with data preparation, vectorization using TF-IDF, feature extraction, modeling using Random Forest (RF) and Naïve Bayes (NB), and evaluation using Accuracy and F1-score. The performance of the NB model outperformed previous research, increasing by 5,5%. The conclusion is that SSL performance highly depends on the number of training data and the compatibility of the features or patterns in the document with machine learning. On our marketplace dataset, better to use Random Forest.
Estonia and China: Changing role, Perceptions, and Security Implications
Authors:   University of Oxford, Mikelsaar Anniki
Published: December 2022

The chapter of the book "China in the Baltic States – from a Cause of Hope to Anxiety" gives an overview of the changing Sino-Estonian relations from the consolidation of diplomatic ties in 1991 until the present. It examines the security implications these ties have started to pose for Estonia and NATO, while underlining the relative insignificance of the bilateral China-Estonia financial and trade ties. Analysing public opinion polls, this chapter outlines the risk that perceptions of China may become increasingly divergent between Estonian and non-Estonian speakers, with the former perceiving China as more of a threat than the latter. This might translate into a future security implication from the standpoint of domestic cohesiveness. Taking into account imminent risks, including Chinese surveillance technology on Estonia’s border crossings, and dubious infrastructure projects still in air, such as the Tallinn-Helsinki tunnel in the Gulf of Finland, the suggestion is made for the Estonian government to start formulating its independent China strategy, to map out the remaining areas for cooperation, and draw the boundaries where collaboration can no longer take place.
