Published: January 2025

Abstract. The Weddell Sea Anomaly (WSA), a summer ionospheric anomaly over the eastern Antarctic Peninsula, was first observed in 1958 and is characterized by a nighttime peak in electron concentration, unlike the typical daytime peak. There are some works that examine long-term trends at ionospheric stations in the WSA region but they do not do a seasonal-diurnal analysis that is vital for differentiating the periods of the anomaly. This study investigates the seasonal-diurnal variation of the long-term trend in the F2 layer critical frequency (foF2) at ionospheric stations located within the WSA region: Vernadsky (Argentine Island; 65.1° S, 64.2° W) and Port Stanley (51.6° S, 57.9° W), both with long-term foF2 data. Data from Vernadsky (1960–2023) and Port Stanley (1960–2019) were analyzed alongside data from Syowa (69.0° S; 39.6° E) and Mawson (67.6° S; 62.9° E), two stations outside the WSA influence. The analysis reveals distinct seasonal and diurnal trends. For Vernadsky, negative foF2 trends (-0.02 MHz/year) are observed during summer nights, coinciding with the WSA's presence. Port Stanley shows similar trends but with a secondary nighttime maximum. The WSA's influence on Vernadsky is more pronounced, with Port Stanley exhibiting a weaker, mid-latitude summer evening anomaly. In contrast, Syowa and Mawson show different trends, with Syowa without a clear trend pattern, and Mawson showing negative trends throughout the year. The study concludes that the WSA significantly affects Vernadsky and, to a lesser extent, Port Stanley. The findings highlight regional variations in ionospheric behavior and contribute to the ongoing discussion on global ionospheric trends, suggesting that local phenomena like the WSA can modulate these trends.

Calcination Temperature Effects on Ni/ZrO2 Catalysts for Dry Reforming of Methane
Authors: Subhan Azeem  , Muhammad Rizwan  , Sadiq Hussain
Published: January 2025

In this study, calcination temperatures (550, 650, and 750 °C) are utilized to analyze theefficiency of Ni-based catalyst for dry reforming of methane (DRM), a potential technique forreduction in greenhouse gases and synthesis of syngas. Ni catalysts were obtained from theimpregnation of 10 wt.% Ni onto ZrO2 prepared in the laboratory. A study of the synthesizedcatalysts was carried out using characterization techniques such as N2 physisorption, XRD,FTIR, and SEM. This analysis showed that calcination temperature affects the catalytic activityof the material investigated in the study. For those catalysts showing initially fairly highconversion of methane (more than 50 %), an increase in calcination temperature resulted in alower conversion of methane. It is believed that Ni nanoparticles sinter at higher temperatures resulting in decreased active surface area of the catalyst which in turn minimizes the number of active sites for the DRM reaction. On the other hand, for the catalysts with lower initial activity below 40 %, the effect of calcination temperature to the catalyst activity was not highly significant. This could be because the Ni particles in these catalysts are larger, or else the metalsupport bonds are not so strong that the catalysts cannot resist sintering at high temperatures. From the tested catalysts, NZS-10 has shown the highest performance with the average conversion of CH4 and CO2 at 60.5% and 62% respectively, and the lowest deactivation rate of 5%. This superior performance can be attributed to a combination of factors, including high surface area, optimal Ni particle size, strong metal-support interactions, resistance to sintering, and a well-developed porous structure. Fine-tuning certain characteristics of the NZS-10 catalyst can make the catalyst more efficient and have longer stability.

Aligning Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Projects with Circular Economy Principles: A Comparative Analysis of the European Union and India's Path Forward
Authors: Radha Krishna Tripathy, Kavita Srivastava
Published: February 2025

The growing global challenge of waste management has reached alarming levels, with approximately 4.5 million tonnes of waste generated every day worldwide—a figure that is expected to exceed 8 million tonnes by 2050, according to the World Bank. Although there have been notable improvements in how waste is managed, it has transitioned from being just a public concern to becoming a booming industry, particularly seen in the rise of the Waste-to-Energy (WtE) sector across the globe.
Given this growing problem, many experts agree that addressing waste requires a shift toward a "circular economy," an approach aimed at minimizing waste altogether. This strategy is in line with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 12, which focuses on responsible consumption and production.
While WtE technologies seem like a sustainable option, the process of turning waste into energy using advanced facilities raises questions about their true compatibility with circular economy principles. The UN has proposed a framework to guide WtE projects, suggesting that these frameworks can help in the transition to a circular economy—especially in terms of energy recovery. However, this requires innovative public-private partnerships (PPPs) that emphasize people-first values and the adoption of best practices by both governments and the private sector simultaneously.
The main focus of this paper is to highlight the need to align WtE projects with circular economy principles to ensure sustainable and effective waste management. While this model has made significant progress in EU ( European Union) countries, it is still in the early stages of development in India. This paper explores the framework used in the EU and discusses how India can successfully adopt and implement similar practices.

Published: February 2025

The development of increasingly diverse and time-spanning work arrangements: remote work systems need to be known and understood with certainty and legal protections for remote employees. Remote Working workers are prone to non-compliance with the following rights in the company's work cycle. The United States, one of the developed countries, has regulations to protect remote workers, and interpreting these regulations according to the situation in Indonesia can be helpful if they are implemented appropriately. This study aims to obtain reference materials regarding regulations that can be applied in Indonesia to ensure legal protection for remote workers. This research is comparative legal research using literature studies. In Indonesia, Remote Working worker regulations do not exist specifically, so they are still based on the Job Creation and Manpower Law. Meanwhile, in the United States, regulations for Remote Working workers have existed since 1990 until now. Despite the differences in legal systems between Indonesia and the United States, efforts are being made to coordinate appropriate regulations to develop government regulations in line with the increasing diversity of employment systems. Therefore, the government must clarify and follow up on determining legal protection for remote workers.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health emergency; 25,000 people die each year in Europe from infections sustained by resistant bacteria. Inappropriate antimicrobial use (AMU) in humans and animals is reinforcing AMR, threatening public health. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has classified antimicrobials according to their importance in human medicine. Specifically, the EMA’s Category B refers to critical antimicrobials that are registered for use in animals but should only be administered in the absence of viable alternatives. Therefore, there is growing institutional attention to implementing actions for the optimization of AMU. In particular, the World Health Organization’s Global Plan of Action on Antimicrobial Resistance recommends a close intersectoral collaboration between public health and animal health (One Health). The purpose of this study was to report the first data on AMU in Italian dairy buffalo farms and the principal causes of treatment. Data from 102 farms were collected over a three-year period (2015-2017); AMU was estimated separately by age group (adults, heifers and calves) using the Defined Daily Dose for Italy (DDDAit). Antimicrobials were used almost exclusively on adults, where overall AMU was relatively low, averaging 1.72 DDDAit/head. The three most common causes of AMU in adult buffaloes were: urogenital (39.2%), dry cow therapy (26.2%), and mastitis (22.8%). The main molecules used are represented by tetracyclines followed by III- IV generation cephalosporins (III-IVGenCep) and I-II generation cephalosporins. With regard to the use of the categories of critical drugs (III-IV-GenCep and Quinolones), most of the use (65,4%) is linked to adult animals, while in relation to the ratio between DDDAit from critical drugs/total DDDAit for each category of animals, the values relating to calves are high (31.29%), proving that, even if fewer drugs are used, the incidence of criticals in this category should be reduced. Although direct comparisons may have some limitations, AMU seems to be lower in buffalo than in other species reared in Italy as reported in the bibliography (Mazza et al. 2021). The identification of the principal causes of AMU in buffalo represents an important step towards a more efficient AMU analysis of structural and management critical aspects connected to the buffalo breeding system finalized to reduce to sustainable mode the AMU, in particular critical antimicrobials, and their connected AMR.
Anogenital distance in water buffalo females and relationship with reproductive performance. Preliminary results

Published: February 2025

Recently, anogenital distance (AGD) has been studied in cattle, and cows with shorter AGD have a better reproductive performance. There needs to be more information about AGD and its influence on reproductive performance in the case of water buffaloes. Therefore, the objectives of this preliminary study were to characterize the anogenital distance in water buffalo females and evaluate if this trait is related to reproductive performance. Data for this study was registered in a commercial farm in El Vigia, Merida, Venezuela, with crosses of Mediterranean x Murrah water buffalo breeds (Bubalus bubalis). The collected data from 171 females (26 nulliparous and 145 with at least one calving) included anogenital distance (millimeters), age (days), weight (kilograms), height at the withers (millimeters), and hip height (millimeters). The calving-to-conception interval (days) was registered from 88 females. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis (Pearson’s correlation coefficient) were carried out between AGD, age, weight, wither height, and hip height. Water buffalo cows with at least one previous calving were categorized as short or long AGD based on the median AGD. The calving-to- conception interval was modeled against the AGD category using a variance analysis adjusted by parity and season of calving. All analyses were carried out with R studio version R4.2.2. The anogenital distance averaged 152±20.60 mm, and it was correlated positively with age (0.5516; p<0.05), weight (0.4574; p<0.05), height at the withers (0.4056, p<0.05), and hip height (0.3703; p<0.05). Water buffalo cows with at least one previous calving were categorized as short-AGD or long-AGD (short <157.0 mm> long), and as expected, the mean of AGD differed between groups (145.61 vs. 180.50 mm, respectively, p<0.05). It was observed that the calving-to- conception interval was shorter in water buffalo cows with short AGD (70.82 vs. 96.60 days, p<0.05). In conclusion, anogenital distance in water buffalo females positively correlates with age, weight, wither height, and hip height. Additionally, a long anogenital distance was associated with lower reproductive performance (longer calving-to-conception interval). This fact could be attributed to the adverse effects of prenatal exposure to androgens on reproductive organs and endocrine pathways; however, more research is needed to understand this better. This could be the first study establishing the relationship between anogenital distance and reproductive performance in Bubalus bubalis. However, considering the reduced number of animals and observations, testing, and validating these findings with a bigger population is necessary. In the same direction, there is a need to carry out more research to clarify the mechanism involved in improving reproductive performance and the heritability of AGD.
Enhanced business intelligence through the convergence of big data analytics, AI, Machine Learning, IoT and Blockchain
Authors: Daniel Kashetu Alasa
Published: January 2025

In this era of the information economy, the integration of advanced technologies has become essential in making improvements to business intelligence. The paper provides a conceptual framework in the synergistic integration of Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, the Internet of Things, and Blockchain for overcoming such limitations found in traditional BI solutions. The framework leverages the advantages of these technologies: big data analytics and IoT are trusted sources of comprehensive and real-time data, while AI and ML perform advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics. Blockchain technology comes in when it is a question of trusting issues in the management of data, providing security, transparency, and integrity to the data. It outlines a number of use cases for this integration in supply chain, retail, healthcare, and finance; predictive logistics and end-to-end visibility; customized customer experiences and inventory optimization; predictive diagnostics and real-time patient monitoring; fraud detection; and risk management. This paradigm proposed will drive businesses to be more creative, operationally more effective, and make better decisions. Technical difficulty, ethical concerns with AI and data security, and financial barriers are all carefully considered. Despite these challenges, the study has shown how integrating many technologies can result in a BI system that is suited to the needs of modern businesses. Examining possible future developments shows that more research, ingenuity, and practical implementation are required for this framework to reach its full potential. Businesses would also be able to steer toward safe, intelligent, and dynamic decision-making processes for effective continuity if this were put into practice.
A magyar állattenyésztési ágazat kihívásai és lehetséges jövőképe
Authors: Szalai Ádám , Kőszegi Irén Rita , Hoyk Edit , Farkas Jenő Zsolt
Published: January 2025

A fejlett országokban az állattenyésztés kedvezőtlen környezeti hatásai egyre inkább a figyelem középpontjába kerülnek, mint például az üvegházhatású gázok (metán, ammónia és dinitrogén-oxid) kibocsátása. Emellett olyan gazdasági és társadalmi problémák is megjelentek, mint az agrárgazdálkodók elöregedése, a kisgazdaságok és a háztáji állattartás visszaszorulása, mely jelentős hatással van a vidéki közösségekre, fokozódó kihívást jelent a vidékfejlesztés számára. A tanulmány a fent említett folyamatokat vizsgálja a magyar állattenyésztési ágazaton belül az 1990-es évektől napjainkig. A kutatás statisztikai adatok és szakpolitikai dokumentumok elemzésén, valamint a dél-alföldi régióban állattartással foglalkozó fiatal gazdákkal történő interjúk (n = 66) készítésén alapul. Eredményeink rámutatnak a hazai agrárszektor meghatározó folyamataira, az üzemkoncentrációra és az állatlétszám, valamint az állattartó gazdaságok számának jelentős csökkenésére, mely hatására a kistermelők szinte eltűntek az ágazatból. Emellett olyan fontos kihívások is felszínre kerülnek, mint az állattenyésztés multifunkcionális jellegének megszűnése vagy a gazdatársadalom generációváltásának elhúzódása, sikertelensége. Mindezek alapján elmondható, hogy az eddigi agrár-vidékfejlesztés jellegű keretben ezek a problémák hatékonyan már nem kezelhetők, paradigmaváltásra, célzott programokra és szakpolitikai eszközökre van szükség az állattenyésztés új fejlődési pályára állításához. Tudatos erőforrástervezés és generációk közötti kommunikáció, tudásátadás révén biztosítható az ágazat harmonikus fejlődése, amelyet a jól pozícionált fiatalgazda-támogatások szavatolhatnak.

This study aims to determine the effect of Neuromarketing Advertising, Bandwagon Effect, and E-Money Usage on Generation Z’s Compulsive Purchasing Behavior of Cosmetic Products, with Consumer Attitude as the mediator. Neuromarketing advertising utilizes neuroscience to subconsciously influence consumer emotions, while the Bandwagon Effect encourages the adoption of popular trends. The simplicity of Internet transactions combined with e-money encourages hasty purchases. Consumer attitudes influence the relationship between these factors and obsessive buying behavior. The population of this study is all Generation Z cosmetic users in Indonesia. The study sample amounted to 223 respondents. Purposive sampling, a non-probability sampling strategy, was used in this study, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis. The findings in this study show that advertising neuromarketing, the bandwagon effect, and e-money usage influence compulsive buying through customer attitude. However, neuromarketing advertising on compulsive buying through customer attitude does not have a significant impact, so further study is still required.

Background: The World Health Organization HEARTS Technical Package is a widely implemented global initiative to improve the primary care management of cardiovascular disease risk factors. The study’s objective is to report outcomes from a pilot implementation trial of integrated hypertension and diabetes management based on the HEARTS model in Guatemala.
Methods: We conducted a single-arm pilot implementation trial over six months from October 2023 to May 2024 in 11 Guatemalan Ministry of Health primary care facilities in two districts. The pilot evaluated a package of five HEARTS-aligned implementation strategies to improve the pharmacological treatment of hypertension and diabetes. The primary outcomes were feasibility and acceptability, measured through 20 structured interviews with Ministry of Health employees and by examining enrolment and retention data. Secondary outcomes included a suite of implementation and clinical outcomes, including treatment rates. When baseline data were available, we analyzed secondary outcomes as the net change from baseline or using an interrupted time series approach.
Results: The study enrolled 964 patients, of whom 58.8% had hypertension only, 30.4% had diabetes only, and 10.8% had both conditions. Surveys on feasibility and acceptability among Ministry of Health staff had a median score of 5.0 (IQR: 5.0 to 5.0) and 5.0 (IQR range: 4.8 to 5.0), respectively, exceeding the prespecified benchmark of ≥3.5. Both districts achieved the prespecified benchmark of enrolling ≥25 hypertension patients and ≥25 diabetes patients. Only 36% of patients attended a follow-up visit within three months, lower than the prespecified benchmark of ≥75%. Monthly treatment rates during the pilot increased by 22.3 (95% CI: 16.2 to 28.4; P < 0.001) and 3.5 (95% CI: –1.6 to 8.7; P = 0.17) patients per month for hypertension and diabetes, respectively.
Conclusions: Implementation of an integrated hypertension and diabetes model based on HEARTS was generally feasible and acceptable in the Ministry of Health in Guatemala. Findings can refine national scale-up in Guatemala and inform HEARTS implementation projects in other settings.
