Introduction. The quality of roads as public assets should be constantly maintained and improved. In order to direct available funds to the right roads for optimal results, road prioritization is necessary. Road infrastructure has many economic and social benefits. The main problem faced in maintaining roads in a satisfactory condition is that the available funds will always be insufficient to maintain all roads. The solution is to prioritize the most important roads. Selecting roads for repair is not an easy task, as many parameters need to be taken into account to optimize the results. In this case, the importance of the roads can be determined and ranked (or prioritized) correct setting of priorities. This will help to make the right decision. Problem statement. The article formulates the principles of forming the main priorities of financial support for road works. The world experience on this issue is presented. It is due to the formation of the right priorities that it is possible to determine the priority of one type of work in comparison with another according to a certain factor of preference (for example, importance or urgency). Objective. To formulate a conceptual framework for prioritizing the financial support of road works and services, taking into account modern methods of economic analysis.

Authors:   National Transport University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Harkusha Mykola
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Road culverts made of metal corrugated structures despite of more than a hundred years of application history, in Ukraine they are a fairly new type of construction and are widely used in transport construction as an alternative to traditional steel or concrete bridge structures. The well-known advantages that justify the choice of such a solution are mainly a short term and relatively low cost of construction, construction provided that the appropriate technological regime is followed and does not cause any particular problems. However, the modern process of design and construction of road culverts from metal corrugated structures is imperfect and is constantly being improved. Therefore, there is a need to conduct an analysis conditions of operation and features of the operation of road culverts from the metal corrugated structures with the determination of approaches to improving design and construction to further increase the durability of the structure as a whole. Problems. From the literature analysis, it was established that road culverts are in difficult operating conditions, which causes their premature destruction. Goal. It consists in the analysis of operating experience and features of the operation of culverts made of metal corrugated structures on highways with the installation of measures to increase durability.

‘Past Those Green Temples’: The Eco-Humanist Poetics of Mary Oliver, Louise Glück, and Anne Carson
Authors: Weiher Emma Charlotte
Published: May 2024

The preface for Mary Oliver’s poem ‘The River’, featured in her collection Dream Work (1986), cites an article by the New York Times: ‘In one day the Amazon discharges into the Atlantic the equivalent of New York City’s water supply for nine years.’(Dream Work 20). In the verses that follow this statistic, the poet (1935-2019) proposes a perspective that is at once human and river – merging the bodies of humanity and water in one. The poem’s speaker recalls her origins, wilfully ignoring the bureaucratic factoids of birthdate and place and defines themselves as ‘a grain / carried by the flood’ of a great, universal and unnamed river. This unnamed river, presumably the Amazon of the poem’s statistical prelude, carries the blueprint of the speaker’s history. It is also the place called ‘home’ by the speaker, a place remembered and yearned for. Throughout, the poem recalls a sense of wanting to belong and return to an unidentified and yet uniquely familiar river, or larger body of water. In a state of reverie, the speaker muses on how ‘the smell of mud and leaves returned to me / and in dreams I began to turn, / to sense the current’(20). The sensual borders of being human and being water merge completely here. Finally, after nostalgic remembrance, the speaker finds that it is ‘past those green temples’ where the final resting place is, where the body moves towards subconsciously, where home truly is.

Published: May 2024

This article urgently examines the pressing need for research on metaverse technology (MT) within the tourism and hospitality marketing (THMK) context in Indonesia. Despite its potential, the current state-of-art-of MT research in THMK remains underexplored and limited particularly within tourism and hospitality marketing landscape. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA Protocol and focusing on ProQuest database articles from 2012-2022, this study vigorously assessed 313 articles narrowing down to 34 relevant ones. These articles were meticulously analyzed to unveil the current state of MT within THMK context for the past decade. The study findings revealed that the current state of art of MT Research in THMK is substantially increasing although there were relatively limited studies in hospitality setting with very narrow and limited range of theoretical and methodical perspectives. Six dimensions of MT in THMK were identified, namely big data analytics, 3-D virtual representation, and augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), smart, Internet of Things and blockchain technology. Using SLR provides an empirical foundation for understanding the current landscape of MT research in THMK within Indonesia, highlighting the need for further exploration and development. By addressing this urgent research gap, scholars and practitioners can unlock the full potential of MT in transforming THMK practices in Indonesia.

Published: May 2024

Bovine brucellosis, caused by Brucella abortus, is a significant bacterial infectious zoonotic disease not only poses a threat to animal health but also presents economic challenges and public health concerns due to its potential transmission to humans. Humans can contract the disease through direct contact with infected animals or consumption of unpasteurized dairy products. Bovine anaplasmosis is a haemolytic disease of cattle caused by the bacterium Anaplasma marginale which can cause adult mortality, abortion, weight loss, and a reduction in performance. This paper described the results obtained from the effects of brucellosis and anaplasmosis on serum proteins and the level of the macro elements (Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, and Magnesium). These minerals play an essential role in animal metabolism. Out of fourteen Bovine serum samples, five samples were found to be positive for Brucella (35.72%) and four samples were found to be positive for Anaplasma (28.57%), the remaining samples were negative. Total protein (Tb) and (Alb) levels were significantly increased (P<0.01) in both brucellosis and anaplasmosis cattle compared with controls. On the other hand Globulin (Glob) was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in brucellosis cattle compared to the controls, also the present study showed that, concentration of Na, Ca, and Mg minerals were significantly increased in case of Brucellosis compared to the controls and significantly low (P<0.05) in potassium level, while animals infected with anaplasmosis showed an increased level of Na and K and decreased level in Mg. In summary, comprehension of laboratory medicine parameters is crucial for monitoring animal health and diagnosing diseases like brucellosis and anaplasmosis. These parameters are essential for implementing effective control measures and ensuring livestock well-being. The objective of this study was to estimate the total proteins and minerals content of Bovine Brucellosis and Anaplasmosis in ...

Bryce Canyon National Park: Paleontological resource inventory (public version)
Authors: Tran Tut , Bonham Alexandra , Tweet Justin , Santucci Vincent
Published: May 2024

Originally designated as a national monument in 1923, Bryce Canyon National Park (BRCA) is recognized for its exceptional pink-orange hoodoo landscapes. Its iconic hoodoos, consisting of the Paleocene?Eocene Claron Formation, are only part of the geology of BRCA, which includes a nearly uninterrupted sequence of Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway evolution and diverse depositional environments from approximately 100 to 77 million years ago. This sequence consists of the coastal Naturita Formation, the marine Tropic Shale, the transitional Straight Cliffs Formation, and the terrestrial Wahweap Formation. These strata, and the Claron Formation, preserve diverse paleontological resources. Fossils at BRCA have received little visibility for most of the park?s history, despite relatively rapid advances in the study of Late Cretaceous and Paleogene paleontology in neighboring public lands, especially Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) to the east.

The best documentation of paleontological resources at BRCA was produced through concerted field inventory of the park conducted by Dr. Jeff Eaton and several cohorts of interns and students from 1988 to 2015. In that time, Eaton?s team documented nearly 200 paleontological localities within the park that yielded clams, snails, fish, frogs, turtles, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, dinosaurs, and mammals from the Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations and invertebrates, plants, and trace fossils in the Claron Formation. Eaton?s survey resulted in several publications, including the description of new microvertebrate species from the Straight Cliffs and Wahweap Formations. Despite this body of work, the park did not develop an internal paleontological resources management program.

A new paleontological resources program at BRCA was advanced in response to construction activities that impacted several fossil localities in the Wahweap Formation. Newly hired paleontological staff conducted two seasons of field inventory (2022?2023), relocating as many of Eaton?s sites as possible and recording new fossil occurrences along the way. In this timeframe, BRCA paleontologists encountered more than 150 localities. They also conducted detailed literature review, examined the park?s paleontological collections data, and cultivated partnerships with outside researchers to better comprehend the current state and future potential of the park?s paleontological resources.

This document synthesizes the total current body of knowledge on paleontological resources at BRCA to create a comprehensive paleontological inventory report. It combines historical data from the scientific literature, previous work conducted in the park, and recent fieldwork to cover BRCA?s geologic history and fossil diversity and the history of paleontological study, education, and resources management in the park.
Early source control of infection in patients seen in the emergency department: a systematic review
Authors: Julián-Jiménez Agustín , Lorenzo Álvarez Rocío , Gutiérrez Bueno Victoria , Sánchez Trujillo Miranda , García Darío Eduardo
Published: May 2024

Introduction and objective. The term source (or focus) control encompasses all those physical measures that can be used to reduce the inoculum and modify those factors in the infectious medium that promote microbial growth or foreign antimicrobial defenses of the host. The main objective of this systematic review (SR) is to know and compare whether early detection and control of the focus (in less than 6 hours) in adult patients treated in the ED for severe infection or sepsis, compared to not controlling the focus or delayed focus control (more than 12 hours) is more effective and safer (improves clinical evolution, mortality, complications, hospital stay or need for ICU admission). Method. A systematic review is carried out following the PRISMA regulations in the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Lilacs, Cochrane, Epistemonikos, Tripdatabase and ClinicalTrials.gov from January 2000 to December 31, 2023 without language restrictions and using a combination of MESH terms: “Source Control”, “Early” “Infection OR Bacterial Infection OR Sepsis”, “Emergencies OR Emergency OR Emergency Department” and “Adults”. Observational cohort studies were included. No meta-analysis techniques were performed, but results were compared narratively. Results. A total of 1,658 articles were identified, of which 2 that met the inclusion criteria and were classified as high quality were finally analyzed. The included studies represent a total of 2,404 patients with 678 cases in which an intervention was performed to control the focus (28.20%). In the first study, 28-day mortality was lower in patients who underwent an intervention to control the focus (12.3% vs. 22.5%; P <0.001), with an adjusted HR of 0.538 (95% CI: 0.389-0.744; P<0.001). In the second, it was demonstrated that the time elapsed from when the patient was evaluated for the first time and was hemodynamically stabilized, until the start of surgery was associated with his survival at 60 days with an OR of 0.31 (95% CI: 0.19-0.45; P <0.0001). In fact, for each hour of delay an adjusted OR of 0.29 (95% CI: 0.16-0.47; P<0.0001) is established. So if the intervention is performed before 2 hours at 60 days, 98% of the patients are still alive, if it is performed between 2-4 hours it is reduced to 78%, if it is between 4-6 hours it drops to 55%, but if it is done for more than 6 hours there will be no survivors at 60 days. Conclusions. This review shows that source control carried out after the evaluation of patients attending the ED reduces short-term mortality (30-60 days) and that it would be advisable to implement any required source control intervention as soon as possible, ideally early (within 6 hours).
The Bhargava Greedoid as a Gaussian Elimination Greedoid
Authors: Grinberg Darij
Published: May 2024

Inspired by Manjul Bhargava's theory of generalized factorials, Grinberg and Petrov have defined the Bhargava greedoid - a greedoid (a matroid-like set system on a finite set) assigned to any "ultra triple" (a somewhat extended variant of a finite ultrametric space). Here we show that the Bhargava greedoid of a finite ultra triple is always a Gaussian elimination greedoid over any sufficiently large (e.g., infinite) field; this is a greedoid analogue of a representable matroid. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on the size of the field to ensure this.

Published: May 2024

A nut graph is a simple graph whose adjacency matrix has the eigenvalue zero with multiplicity one such that its corresponding eigenvector has no zero entries. It is known that there exist no cubic circulant nut graphs. A bicirculant (resp. tricirculant) graph is defined as a graph that admits a cyclic group of automorphisms having two (resp. three) orbits of vertices of equal size. We show that there exist no cubic bicirculant nut graphs and we provide a full classification of cubic tricirculant nut graphs.
HANDLING NEGATIVE ONLINE MESSAGING: TOURISM SECTOR RESPONSES
Authors: WUT TAI MING , XU JING , WONG HELEN SHUN-MUM
Published: May 2024

Negative online messages in social media present unfavourable information and creates negative publicity to corporations. Negative online messages may harm corporate reputation. There is a debate that company has to respond on those messages or put them aside. Our research objective was to investigate the impact of negative online messages on tourism companies and how companies can best counter this impact. The benefits of corporate and third party responses to negative online messages were compared. An experimental research design was used with a control group on 206 Chinese respondents in Hong Kong for comparison. Immediate corporate clarification was found to be effective for reputation recovery. Comments from key opinion leaders and regulators had a similar effect to corporate clarification. A prompt response and consistent message was preferable in all cases to the no comment option, which is traditionally perceived as ‘safer’. We extend the Situational Crisis Communication Theory on the response strategies in the social media context. Corporations in tourism industry have to monitor social media posts and respond them in a timely manner.

Authors: Alauddin Rusdin , Arsad Jamal Hi , Dp Abdul Azis , Faisal Faisal , Ratnaningsih Muliani , Rustam Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Introduction: The formation of environmental law in many countries worldwide will unavoidably be promoted and coordinated by the non-governmental environmental groups currently in the world. In addition, it will benefit some developing countries where environmental protection is not a priority, environmental laws are not well-established, and oversight is not rigorous enough. Objective of research: This paper aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of environmental law enforcement in many countries in the world. Methods: A systematic review was used in this study. Based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, this study followed the steps of a systematic review of the literature (PRISMA). The final sample of 35 publications was analyzed, considering the year of publication, methods utilized, geographical location, the topic of challenges, and opportunities in enforcing environmental law. Responding to environmental crime is largely the responsibility of government enforcement and regulatory authorities, whether at the national, subnational, or municipal levels. Results and Discussion: The primary reaction agencies in most areas of the world are police, customs and border protection, and environmental regulatory agencies. To assist developing nations in improving environmental legal instruments and supervision; to achieve the ultimate goal of regional and even global environmental law coordination; to train relevant persons, relevant agencies, and other topics in the necessary environmental skills and knowledge; and to transfer and teach environmental knowledge and law within a specified time frame. Conclusion: Although some countries have a thorough legislative structure for environmental protection, local government independence and law enforcement must be improved. The ability of environmental law to serve a purpose is critical in determining whether the measures should be fully implemented.
Analytical and Experimental Research for Development of the Airless Tires for Urban Micromobility Means
Authors: Volochko Alexander , Yankevich Stsiapan , Yankevich Natallia
Published: May 2024

It is currently recognized that electric vehicles are the optimal type of passenger transport for urban usage. However, there are very few people willing to buy them, since today electric cars are very expensive. So the development of the personal light electric transport segment (electric bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, etc.) becomes very relevant. At the same time, the introduction of new technologies (in particular, 3D printing) and constructions (airless wheels) for their mass production is of particular importance. The range of problems that can be solved by modern additive technologies is expanding every day. FDM technology is one of the most commonly used additive methods. It is not only widely available, but it also provides significant possibilities for decision-making. However, most developments in this area are focused on obtaining the geometric accuracy of shapes without taking into account the mechanical properties of materials used. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the influence of filling density of parts manufactured by 3D printing on their mechanical properties and application of obtained results for the production of airless tires by using FDM technology.

Authors: Kammel Choteau X.
Published: May 2024

Climate change threatens national security due to the potential it carries to destabilize fragile regions, damage military installations, and exacerbate existing tensions between countries. While these effects will be global, the Arctic region represents a microcosm of a future where climate change affects the strategic priorities of states and renders existing governing institutions inadequate. Moreover, climate change will challenge the collage of “soft” international law that governs the Arctic, administered primarily through the Arctic Council’s collaborative forum. While this system has been effective, the opening of the Far North to increased sea passage, commercial exploitation, and great powers’ interests necessitates a more robust integration of binding law and should spur the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) to better prepare for confrontations and contingencies that may arise as the ice recedes.
