Authors: Wei Jing , Chen Yongzhan , Dong Qinxi , Fan Chen , Zou Meng
Published: December 2023

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) technologies have gained recognition for the remediation of heavily contaminated sites and reused as backfilling soil. The moisture environment at these sites not only impacts the reactions and reactivity of nZVI but also the dynamic responses of compacted backfilled soils. The research explored the effects of different nZVI dosages (0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 5%) on Lead-Zinc-Nickel ions contaminated soil under a controlled-moisture condition. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed to evaluate the dynamic responses of treated soil samples prepared using a consistent moisture compaction method. Particle size distribution and Atterberg limits tests assessed changes in particle size and plasticity. The study revealed a minor reduction in the particle size, liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of the contaminated soil. Notably, increasing nZVI dosages in treated soils led to growing Atterberg limits. An increase in the specific sand fraction of treated soils was observed with nZVI, suggesting nanoparticles–soil aggregations favoring existing larger particles. Stepwise loading cyclic triaxial tests indicated an optimal dynamic response of soil treated with 1% nZVI under the controlled-moisture condition, proven by notable enhancements in the maximum shear modulus, maximum shear stress, less shear strain, and higher damping ratio within the small strain range. It should be noted that moisture content in treated soils declined significantly with higher nZVI dosages during preparation, potentially impeding effective aggregation and the formation of a solid soil skeleton. These findings advance the importance of considering the balanced nZVI dosage and moisture content when employing the safety assessment of practical applications in both nano-remediation techniques and soil mechanics.

Published: December 2023

Rebar usage and cutting waste contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, mainly CO2 and CH4. Researchers have explored various means to minimize cutting waste; however, these studies have yet to address reducing splices and utilizing a single specific special-length rebar. Hence, this study proposed an algorithm to minimize rebar usage and reduce rebar-cutting waste to less than 1% (near-zero rebar-cutting waste). The algorithm involves two main steps: (1) reducing the number of splices by utilizing special-length rebar and (2) adjusting the rebar accordingly based on the obtained special-length rebar. The algorithm was applied to the column rebars of an RC building to validate its effectiveness. The results confirmed a reduction in rebar usage by 3.226 tons (17.76%), a cutting waste rate of 0.83% (near-zero rebar-cutting waste achieved), a reduction of 11.18 tons in CO2 emissions, and a cost reduction of USD 3741. Employing the proposed algorithm in RC building and structure projects will amplify the corresponding benefits and contribute to the achievement of SDGs adopted by the United Nations to ensure sustainable resource usage and the acceleration of sustainable and green construction practices.
Housing Affordability Risk and Tourism Gentrification in Kyoto City
Authors: Yoshida Mikio , Kato Haruka
Published: December 2023

Before the Coronavirus Disease pandemic of 2019, many tourist cities suffered from over-tourism, and tourism gentrification seriously impacted the living environment for residents. This study aimed to clarify the statistical relationship between the increase in the number of accommodations―hotels and simple accommodations―and housing prices in Kyoto City, one of the world’s most famous tourist cities. As a key result, this study clarified that the price change in houses for sale was significantly related to the number of hotels in the historical center of Kyoto City. Specifically, it was found that the average price of houses for sale increased by JPY 2,013,957/USD 18,382 per hotel in a neighborhood district. In addition, the average price of houses for sale increased by JPY 6,412,102/USD 58,526 from 2015 to 2019. Compared to previous studies, in the historical center of Kyoto City, the novelty of our finding is that the cause for increasing housing prices was not simple accommodations but hotels, and the effect of housing prices was not on houses for rent but those for sale. These results are significant because they indicate that tourism gentrification causes housing affordability risk for the local communities, including young households.
Numerical Analysis of the Shape Effect on the Mechanical Behaviors of Rocks in True 3D Compression Test
Authors: Chen Junchao , Long Yuke , Chen Yulin , Liu Xiaofei
Published: December 2023

Rock strength parameters are usually indispensable for rock engineering design. Under the experimental testing conditions, the shape effect could significantly affect the measured results. Previous findings from uniaxial tests reveal that the measured rock strength gradually decreases with the increase in the slenderness ratio, which is mainly ascribed to the end effect. However, it is still unclear how strong the influence of the end effect on the shape effect is in true 3D tests. In the present study, rock mechanical behaviors in response to the variation in slenderness ratio are detailly examined in true 3D tests. The calculated results show that rock strength progressively decreases as the slenderness ratio increases. But the rock strength in true 3D tests still deviates far from the actual even though the slenderness ratio goes beyond 2, which is mainly caused by the interface friction along the two extra σ2-normal specimen faces. It is interesting that the slenderness ratio increases lead to an increase in the measured stiffness as well. The calculated results suggest that symmetry in the experimentally defined typical arc-shaped curves σ1(σ2) at constant σ3 are neglected most likely due to the stronger end effects in true 3D tests, and the accurate rock strength parameters are not obtained only through using slender specimens.
Combination of Phytoextraction and Biochar Improves Available Potassium and Alters Microbial Community Structure in Soils
Authors: Dong Panpan , Zhang Zhenming , Zhang Mingxiang
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining phytoextraction and biochar for metal-polluted wetland soils by exploring the changes in soil biochemical properties, especially compared to the outcomes of single phytoremediation or biochar application. Soil biochemical properties serve as reliable indicators of soil quality and exhibit a high sensitivity to microbial community dynamics. Phytoextraction is via the native plants Phragmites australis (P. australis) and Suaeda salsa (S. salsa). The addition of biochar significantly increased the total organic carbon (TOC) and available potassium (AK) contents in the rhizosphere soil of P. australis and more in that of S. salsa. The effects of the combined remediation on the composition of the main classes of bacteria are uncertain, and the abundance of the main fungal classes decreased. At the level of OTU, no significant differences were observed in the richness and diversity of microbial communities between the single and combined remediation approaches. On a genus level, the combined remediation of biochar and S. salsa had the highest specificity of soil bacteria, while the single biochar remediation gave the highest specificity of soil fungi. At the class level, the four most abundant classes of bacteria were actinobacteria, alphaproteobacteria, gammaproteobacteria, and bacterricilineae. Biochar addition decreased the abundance of actinobacteria in P. australis rhizosphere soil but increased the abundance of actinobacteria in S. salsa rhizosphere soil. The sordariomycetes and eurotiomycetes were the dominant fungal classes. The combined remediation reduced the abundance of sordariomycetes, and the abundance of eurotiomycetes decreased after single phytoextraction, biochar, and combined remediation.

Published: December 2023

The Vakhsh River is tributary to the Amu Dayra, supporting numerous hydropower facilities as well as irrigation and community water supplies. High sediment loads are major concerns for these uses, yet little is known about the spatial distribution of the dominant sediment sources or their connectivity to fluvial systems. Here, we address this gap by combining findings from a series of field expeditions, remotely sensed climate and vegetation assessments, systematic sediment sampling, hydrograph analysis, and a review of local literature. Our preliminary findings show that various mass wasting processes (e.g., landslides, debris flows, rockfall, dry ravel, bank failures) constitute the major connected sources of sediment, particularly in the mid- to downriver reaches, many of which are unaffected by land use. Surface erosion, including the large gullies in loess deposits of the lower basin, are more affected by poor agricultural practices and road runoff, and can supply large loads of fine sediment into the river. Climate trends detected through remote sensing show an increase in rainfall in the lower half of the basin from spring to early summer while solid precipitation has increased in the eastern half in March. These trends may lead to more runoff and increases in sedimentation if they continue.

Application of positive accounting theory in capital market research & market response to accounting disclosures
Authors: Ananta Yolanda Agustina , Telaumbanua Alfanita Gratia , Siregar Maulana , Muda Iskandar
Published: December 2023

This research examines Positive Accounting Theory and its relationship with the capital market. This theory is based on three hypotheses that underlie managerial accounting theory. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research presents an overview of the application of Positive Accounting Theory and capital market research methods. Markets are explained through economic models that include decision trees, supply and demand, and game theory, with external factors such as competitors, consumer behavior, and political and monetary policy influencing the market. In the corporate context, the application of Positive Accounting Theory varies according to the characteristics and internal conditions of the company. However, the use of positive accounting can have a significant positive impact on company sustainability as revealed in the results of previous research. Positive Accounting Theory describes social phenomena as the result of individual decision making based on rational behavior to maximize utility, especially in the context of capital markets.

Published: December 2023

This study examines the relationship between founder as controller, age of founder, and dispersion of control on the informativeness of company stock prices. We argue that behavioral heterogeneity exists in family firms that are still majority owned and controlled by the founder. Using unbalanced panel data from 262 observations, first, this research finds support for the hypothesis that there is a convex relationship between founder voting rights and the informativeness of company stock prices. Second, older founders demonstrate more stewardship behavior than younger founders. Finally, high power dispersion in founding family firms creates agency conflicts between family owners that decrease the informativeness of firm stock prices. This finding is consistent with previous family business literature which reports that mixed behavior among family members can influence the informativeness of family company share prices.

Keywords: Family Companies, Behavior Of Company Founders, Ownership Of Founders, Age Of Founders, Stock Price Informativeness

Determinants of the expenditure side of environmental federalism – panel data research on countries in Europe
Authors: Galiński Paweł
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to examine the influence of financial, socio-economic, and environmental degradation factors on the expenditure scope of environmental federalism. The panel data models were estimated based on 26 European countries for the period between 2007 and 2020. The research hypothesis of the article posits that the sound fiscal position of the local government and the financial sustainability stemming from it deepens the expenditure side of environmental federalism, especially when considering the population and its structure, the size of the economy, population, and the pollution generated by it. The article reveals that local government avoidance of both deficits and excessive indebtedness ends up promoting a higher scope of expenditure side of environmental federalism. In addition, in European countries, the significance of expenditures on environmental protection visible in local budgets is increased for smaller economies that are less environmentally degraded.

Authors: Zelenska K.O.
Published: December 2023

From the beginning of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (АТО) in the east of Ukraine, the number of volunteers and volunteer organizations that provide assistance to the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has increased significantly. Taking into account data obtained in the process of a comprehensive examination of 97 people who were engaged in volunteer activities related to support of military in the combat zone for at least 1 year and suffered as a result of combat stress. A comprehensive system was developed of mental health support for volunteers working in the ATO zone. Monitoring of the psychological and mental state carried out during the study showed that clinical structure of post-stress disorders in the examined volunteers was represented by: adjustment disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. The basis of the program was complex application of pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and psychoeducation was also used. Pharmacotherapy was based on the specificity of the levels of hormones and mediators with differentiated use of drugs. Approbation of the proposed volunteer mental health support program proved its high efficiency. Against the background of the use of the developed program, positive dynamics of the mental state, stabilization of the emotional state, reduction of anxiety and depression indicators according to the Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scales were noted. According to the Scale for assessing the impact of a traumatic event, a significant decrease in the indicators on the "intrusion" and "avoidance" scales was noted.

Digital Stories and Inclusive Cultures at School: A Research Study in an Italian Primary Multicultural Classroom
Authors: Manganello Flavio , Baldacci Mara
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the effectiveness of digital storytelling in enhancing linguistic and narrative skills in a multicultural primary school in Genoa, Italy. Spanning four months, the quasi-experimental intervention involved eight lessons based on active, participatory, and experiential learning. Focusing on a diverse student body, especially those with migratory backgrounds, the study assessed linguistic competence and narrative skills pre- and post-intervention. Results from the Italian language proficiency test showed most students at B1 level, with a notable performance in narrative aspects among A2+ level students, despite linguistic challenges. Rubrics used for qualitative analysis revealed improvements in classroom dynamics, inclusivity, and student engagement. The study, however, faced limitations due to its short duration and limited sample size. Despite these constraints, the findings highlight digital storytelling as a valuable tool for multicultural education, enhancing narrative competence and fostering inclusivity. Future research should explore its long-term effects and applicability in diverse educational environments.

AbstactSoil Moisture is the amount of water stored between the pores of the soil. Soilmoisture conditions are very dynamic, this is caused by absorption through the soilsurface of transpiration and percolation. Knowing the differences in surface soilmoisture can help optimize soil management in a field, so that productivity can bemaintained. Water obtained by the soil consists of two ways, namely naturally fromrainwater and artificial processes such as irrigation. One of the factors that affectsoil moisture is watering. Watering is something that cannot be released inmaintaining soil moisture. One effort that can be done is to provide irrigation water,namely by using an automatic system based on a microcontroller using sensors to dowatering according to water needs without having to use human power/operators.This research was conducted at the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture,University of Sam Ratulangi for one day. Data collection was carried out at intervalsof two hours with three treatments namely A 70% humidity standard, B 80% humiditystandard, C 90% humidity standard indicating that the irrigation system using theArduino Uno microcontroller can detect changes/decreases in soil moisture in theexperimental polybags, and can respond and command watering activities to restorerelative humidity conditions.Keyword : soil moisture, humidity, automatic control

Migration as a factor of stability of regional economic systems: Spline analysis of structural changes in connectivity
Authors: Smeshko O. G. , Ilyasov R. Kh. , Plotnikov V. A.
Published: December 2023

Aim.To study the features of migration, considered as a factor of stability of regional economic systems, using the toolkit of spline analysis.

Objectives.To describe the impact of migration on regional development; to study the factors and trends of migration by new econometric methods realized on the basis of spline functions; to investigate the evolution of the dependence of migration flows in the context of event components of economic dynamics.

Methods.Both general scientific methods (comparative, retrospective, macroeconomic analysis) and special methods of econometric, economic-statistical and spline modeling were used in the research.

Results.The demographic situation in most regions of the Russian Federation (RF) in recent years is characterized by negative natural population growth. On average in Russia, the coefficient of natural population growth in 2021 amounted to –7.1 ppm. Population growth in the specified year also remains negative in our country –4 ppm. Migration growth plays an important role in achieving positive population dynamics in the Russian regions. It becomes relevant to search for factors and analyze trends in migration population growth in the regions of the Russian Federation. The main factors of population migration in the modern world are socioeconomic in nature. The article defines the indicator of tension in the labor market, i.e. the number of unemployed for each vacancy, as the most significant factor of migration population growth in Russia and its regions. The influence of migration on regional development is investigated, and its peculiarities as a factor of stability of regional economic systems are studied using spline analysis tools.

Conclusions.In the analysis of the impact of tension in the labor market on the trends of migratory population growth it is proposed to take into account the variability of the closeness of the relationship in the conditions of changing socio-economic conjuncture. To study the factors and trends of migration population growth a fundamentally new method — modeling of dynamics by spline functions — is proposed. The constructed spline models of the dynamics of tension in the labor market and migration growth are transformed into growth rate (trend) models by differentiation. The method of spline analysis applied in the study allowed us to assess the consistent changes in the correlation between the trends of migration growth and tension in the labor market. The use of scientific and methodological apparatus of spline modeling in relation to migration processes and the state of labor markets of certain territories, including taking into account new data characterizing regional social, demographic and economic dynamics at the end of 2022, is shown as a direction for further research.

Aim. Formation of information and analytical support to justify decisions in the field of responding to the development problems of partner states, cooperation with which is recognized as important for Russia in terms of geopolitical benefits and advantages: member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Tajikistan.

Objectives. To summarize the trends of macroeconomic dynamics of the countries under consideration in 2020–2023; to analyze the priorities of long-term strategic programs implemented by the countries; to assess the prospects for their further development in the medium and long term.

Methods. Within the framework of the study, the authors analyzed open statistical data characterizing the state of the economy of the countries under consideration. The key documents establishing strategic priorities of socio-economic development of the countries in the coming years were analyzed.

Results. Macroeconomic dynamics in the studied countries during the last few years differed significantly, which is explained, among other things, by the heterogeneous impact of economic shocks. All countries have long-term development programs in place, the priorities of which include improving the quality of public administration, accelerating economic growth taking into account the principles of sustainable development.

Conclusions. Strategic programs serve as a significant source of information on priority development directions for the countries and can be used to identify areas with the potential for further expansion of trade, investment and other types of cooperation.
“Strategic framing” as a modern marketing tool for book publishing management
Authors: Slanov V. P. , Shakurov A. A. , Torgunakov E. A.
Published: December 2023

Aim. To study the book market as one of the most specific branch markets where scaling is impossible and the only way to compete is to escape from it, and on the basis of the analysis to give an assessment of the competitive environment of independent bookstores in St. Petersburg.

Objectives. To define the methodology of competitive environment analysis; to characterize the market of independent bookstores in St. Petersburg; to analyze the competitive environment of the most significant independent bookstores.

Methods. The authors used general scientific methods: deduction, analysis and synthesis, logical analysis, methods of marketing research.

Results. The strategic framing provides an opportunity to most fully assess the potential not only of a particular enterprise, but also of the industry as a whole. It allows you to assess the similarity and difference of your strategy in comparison with the strategies of competitors. All competitive niches are used by stores to a greater or lesser extent, which means that a new point of sale, in case of entering such a market, should offer innovation of value, and at least at the level of overlap with the practices of other industries.

Conclusions. We have analyzed a segment of the book market - the market of independent bookstores. The stores were divided into competing groups, and their competitive advantages were evaluated using the so-called strategic framework method, which allowed us to determine that the modern market segment has exhausted the potential of the main value innovations proposed at the initial formation. On the one hand, this means increased competition and the need for old players to offer better service, on the other hand - the need for new players to create new values for the consumer.

Authors: Neganova V. P.
Published: December 2023

Aim. To propose an integrated approach to the realization of the company’s digital potential in the conditions of modern challenges.

Objectives. To analyze and evaluate the existing scientific approaches to the realization of the company’s digital potential; to propose its main structural components in terms of the relationship between the capabilities and the company’s ability to effectively implement them; to briefly formulate conclusions relevant for managers of companies carrying out digital transformation.

Methods. The solution of the set tasks was carried out in the context of complementarity methodology with the use of methods of semi-structured interviews, search and analysis of causeeffect relationships, systematization, research and historical design.

Results. The analysis of theoretical developments and business practices showed that digital transformation is not so much an effective use of IT, but rather a comprehensive development of the company based on the systematic application of new digital technologies. In this regard, the company’s digital potential is determined by its internal integrated resource, marketing, organizational capabilities, as well as the key competencies of managers for the balanced implementation of these capabilities on the basis of IT, creating a synergistic effect. A spectrum of new questions for future research is proposed.

Conclusions. The rapid formation and realization of the digital potential of companies in various sectors of the Russian economy allow us to consider it a key concept that must be known and understood if we are talking about the digital transformation of entities. The emerging business practices of companies in this context correspond little to the available theoretical and methodological developments designed for stable conditions of economic development. The key task becomes the research and scientific substantiation of emerging trends. Brief conclusions form the basis for making the right managerial decisions on the choice of optimal options for the realization of the digital potential of the company.

Estudio sobre las técnicas de escritura académica a partir de los elementos poéticos
Authors: García Ayala Darwin Patricio
Published: December 2023

La escritura académica es una habilidad fundamental que todo estudiante universitario debe desarrollar. Sin embargo, a menudo los alumnos encuentran dificultades en aspectos como la estructuración lógica de ideas, el uso adecuado del lenguaje, la coherencia y cohesión textual, entre otros. Este artículo presenta un estudio que explora el uso de recursos poéticos como una forma de mejorar las técnicas de escritura académica en estudiantes universitarios. La investigación parte de la idea de que la poesía permite desarrollar habilidades creativas y lúdicas que pueden transferirse a la escritura académica. Mediante ejercicios de escritura poética, como la construcción de versos libres y cuartetos, los estudiantes pueden fortalecer su capacidad para concentrarse en el lenguaje, elegir palabras precisas, jugar con ritmos y sonoridades, usar figuras literarias como la metáfora o la comparación, entre otros recursos estilísticos. Estas habilidades posteriormente pueden aplicarse a la redacción de textos académicos. El estudio se llevó a cabo con un grupo de 50 estudiantes universitarios a los que se les aplicó un programa de entrenamiento en escritura poética de 3 meses de duración. Los participantes asistieron a talleres semanales donde realizaron ejercicios individuales y colectivos de composición poética guiados por un escritor profesional. Al final del programa, se evaluaron textos académicos escritos por los estudiantes antes y después de la intervención. Los resultados mostraron mejoras significativas en aspectos como la claridad en la exposición de ideas, el uso de un lenguaje más rico y variado, la coherencia entre párrafos, el manejo del ritmo y la cadencia en la prosa académica. Asimismo, en encuestas de opinión los participantes reportaron una mayor motivación, creatividad y seguridad al enfrentarse a la escritura de textos académicos después del entrenamiento poético. El estudio concluye que la escritura poética, al requerir un uso intencionado y artístico del lenguaje, puede ayudar a desarrollar habilidades que transfieren positivamente a la redacción académica. Se recomienda incorporar ejercicios y talleres de poesía creativa dentro de los cursos universitarios de lectura y redacción. Así mismo, se sugiere ampliar la investigación explorando diferentes enfoques de enseñanza de escritura poética y midiendo su impacto en la calidad de textos académicos de diversos géneros.

Este estudio buscó comprender las competencias digitales de los profesores que enseñan en la Nueva Escuela Secundaria (NES) en escuelas públicas de la ciudad de São Paulo. Se organizó en tres partes: inicialmente, se problematizaron diferentes significados sociales y políticos en las escuelas. Para ello, se presentó una breve reseña histórica de la educación en Brasil y de los cambios provocados por la Nueva Escuela Secundaria. El segundo movimiento discutió la implementación de la Nueva Enseñanza Secundaria y sus implicaciones para el desarrollo de las Competencias Digitales de los profesores. Se abordaron aspectos como la flexibilidad curricular, la organización por áreas de conocimiento y las posibilidades de integración de las tecnologías digitales en el proceso educativo. En el tercer movimiento, se cuestiona la competencia digital de los profesores brasileños de educación básica frente a las TDICs, Nueva Escuela Secundaria y el evento Covid-19. Se realizó un estudio no experimental, exploratorio, descriptivo y se utilizaron como instrumentos dos cuestionarios electrónicos idénticos, el primero al inicio de la pandemia y el segundo 30 meses después. La recogida de datos se basó en una tabla de evaluación dividida en tres Áreas de Competencia Digital Docente, concretamente se investigaron las siguientes áreas: a) Pedagógica; b) - Ciudadanía Digital; c) Desarrollo Profesional. Por lo tanto, los resultados de esta investigación no solo revelan la fragilidad de las Competencias Digitales Docentes en el contexto del Nueva Escuela Secundaria Brasileña, sino que también resaltan la necesidad de una formación docente que capacite, cuestione y construya en la escuela un proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje más humanizado y emancipador. El panorama construido en este trabajo tiene la pretensión de apoyar a educadores y gestores públicos y privados para enfrentar los desafíos y oportunidades presentados por la educación en el Siglo XXI.
