An Empirical Analysis of the Characteristics and Determinants of the China–ASEAN Science and Technology Cooperation Network: Insights from Co-Authored Publications
Authors: Wu Fan , Liu Zhixu
Published: November 2024

Regional science and technology cooperation networks are pivotal for fostering sustainable global innovation. The China–ASEAN science and technology cooperation network integrates regional innovation resources, thereby promoting the sustainable flow of innovation elements and complementing technological strengths among countries, which significantly enhances cooperation efficiency and outcomes. This study employs a Social Network Analysis (SNA) and the Temporal Exponential Random Graph Model (TERGM) to analyze co-authored publications between China and ASEAN countries from 2003 to 2022, constructing a cooperation network that integrates both endogenous network structures and exogenous driving factors. This study explores the distinct mechanisms through which these factors influence the formation of cooperative relationships and highlights the key features and determinants of the network. The findings reveal the following: first, the China–ASEAN science and technology cooperation network has evolved from an initial “star-shaped structure” with China and Singapore as central nodes to a more interconnected network exhibiting “small world” and “high clustering” characteristics. Second, endogenous network structures, including the number of edges, node centrality, and closed triadic structures, significantly shape the network’s evolution, with some structures inhibiting the formation of new partnerships, while an increase in shared collaborators promotes new connections. Third, the evolution of the network demonstrates both stability and variability. Fourth, human capital is a key driver of partnership formation, while higher per-capita GDP countries show less inclination to form new partnerships. Fifth, proximity factors have heterogeneous effects: linguistic proximity positively impacts the formation of partnerships, while institutional proximity negatively affects the establishment of new collaborations. Based on these findings, this paper suggests improving international cooperation mechanisms, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing the development of cross-border scientific talent. These measures aim to enhance the connectivity within the China–ASEAN science and technology cooperation network, effectively improve the utilization efficiency of regional innovation resources and technological capabilities, and promote the sharing and long-term collaboration of innovation resources within the region, thereby advancing sustainable development at both regional and global levels.

Published: November 2024

A plethora of sustainability-related challenges plague the modern world, among which is residue management. The significant implications of waste management on local populations and the global climate system have propelled research efforts toward residue management. Improved understanding and predictions in biomass residue management can help identify opportunities to advance residue management to address these complex challenges. In recent years, sustainability science has gained momentum and is viewed as the most effective approach to addressing wicked problems. For instance, the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is a major contributor to climate change. This review examines how a greater knowledge of human–environment interaction and the value of ecological services could facilitate the recycling of agricultural and forestry wastes for their uses in bioenergy production and soil protection. In addition, it highlights the connection between biomass residual management and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, thereby strengthening the circular and ecological economy. Additionally, this review also discusses how interdisciplinary and systems thinking can contribute to the advancement of biomass residue management. This review aims to explore how the principles of sustainability science and systems thinking can help enhance the reutilization of agricultural and forest residues through biomass residue management. It also aims to assess their potential in reducing environmental and social impacts.
The Functioning Mechanism of a Collaborative Environmental Governance Network in a Coastal Zone: A Case Study of the Wenzhou Dongtou Coastal Zone
Authors: Wang Wanjuan
Published: November 2024

The coastal zone environment is facing challenges such as marine pollution, biodiversity loss, and the decline in ecological functions. To address these complex and interlinked environmental problems, it is particularly important to build an effective collaborative governance network for the coastal environment. The aim of this study is to explore the functioning of the collaborative governance network for the coastal environment, analyze the interactive relationships among different stakeholders, and examine the structure and functions of the governance network. First, this thesis reviews the relevant literature on coastal environmental governance, elaborates on the theories of collaborative governance and network governance, and constructs the theoretical research framework. Subsequently, the Dongtou area in Wenzhou, a typical representative of cooperative environmental governance in the coastal zone of the East China Sea, was selected as part of an exploratory case study. The role positioning and interaction modes of different actors such as local governments, social organizations, enterprises, and citizens in the governance network were analyzed in detail, and the relationships between network nodes, the network structure, and network functioning were investigated. Subsequently, it was found that a successful cooperative governance network for coastal environmental protection is based on the joint action of four operational mechanisms: the trust mechanism, coordination mechanism, learning mechanism, and guarantee mechanism. Based on the above analysis, this paper summarizes the key elements for building an efficient collaborative coastal environmental governance network and proposes strategies to improve the efficiency of governance. This study introduces a novel framework for analyzing the structural and functional aspects of collaborative governance networks that combines a social network analysis with qualitative insights. This methodological innovation enables a more comprehensive understanding of network’s functioning mechanisms, and also contributes to the theoretical literature on environmental governance by identifying key factors that determine the success of collaborative networks. It offers actionable recommendations for policy makers and practitioners, emphasizing the importance of building solid relationships with stakeholders and leveraging their resources to achieve sustainable environmental outcomes.
Biochar-Enhanced Carbon-Negative and Sustainable Cement Composites: A Scientometric Review
Authors: Room Shah , Bahadori-Jahromi Ali
Published: November 2024

The increasing demand for cement, which is being driven by global urbanization and infrastructure expansion, necessitates sustainable alternatives to be used as construction materials. Cement-based composites, a prevalent construction material, are known for their high carbon footprint. Consequently, exploring sustainable alternatives is urgently needed to curb the environmental impact of the construction sector by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, utilizing biochar (BC) in cement-based composites, either as additive or cement, and in aggregate replacement could be a green approach, by producing enhanced composites with the capabilities of CO2 sequestration. This review investigates the BC-modified cement composites by performing a scientometric assessment of the Scopus database and a thorough manual review. A scientometric assessment of Scopus-indexed publications retrieved from 2010–2024 was conducted to highlight key research trends, including influential authors, frequently cited works, countries, and institutions. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation of BC research and applications in cement-based composites for sustainable construction. The assessment revealed that the Construction and Building Materials journal was the most prolific source of publications (n = 34), followed by Gupta, with S as the most prolific author (n = 11), and China as the leading country in the field (n = 56). It also highlights the emerging areas for the use of BC in the construction sector for sequestering CO2 and potential future directions. Additionally, the review discusses BC sources and BC production technologies and characteristics. It also discusses the influence of BC inclusion on the fresh properties, its mechanical properties, durability characteristics, carbon capture capabilities, and the environmental impacts of modified cement-based composites. It has been noted that BC addition to cement-based composites from 1% to 2% can increase its mechanical performance, whereas, beyond a 5% to 6% replacement, they experienced a decline compared to non-modified composites. BC addition has reduced the flow characteristics of the modified composites due to its porous morphology and hydrophobic nature but has shown improved internal curing and reduced shrinkage. It also improved the microstructure of the cement-based composite through pore refinement, due to the filling ability of the BC particles attributed to its specific surface area and size. Additionally, the carbon sequestration potential of BC can be exploited in cement-based composites to create low carbon or carbon-negative building materials with improved mechanical and durability characteristics. The study also highlights the future directions for further studies and implementation strategies of BC as a sustainable construction material at a large scale.

Mining operations for the extraction and processing of useful geological materials are common anthropogenic activities that generate enormous quantities of waste that can alter the natural balance. In this way, soil, water and air are contaminated with waste that contains heavy metals, acids and many other compounds that are toxic to the environment and health. Minimizing and eradicating these pollutants is an arduous but necessary task. That is why, in the present work, the physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of metallurgical mining waste was carried out using analytical techniques. Tests and trials were also carried out to assess the degree of toxicity, corrosiveness and chemical capacity to generate acid mine drainage. In general, it was found that this waste does not contain active toxic elements or elements that could be corrosive. However, due to the residual content of sulfide minerals, it can generate acid mine drainage, which could contaminate groundwater. Likewise, it can be seen that due to the content of heavy metals and minerals such as quartz and feldspars, this waste can be reprocessed to recover metals and subsequently separate, by flotation, the associated silica and feldspar, which can be used in the glass and cement industry.
The Moderating Role of Income on the Complexity–Sustainability Nexus: Evidence from BRICS Members
Authors: Alsabhan Talal H. , Tahir Muhammad
Published: November 2024

This research paper explores the relationship between economic complexity and environmental degradation by highlighting the moderating role of income level. The paper focuses on the BRICS member economies “Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa” and utilizes data for the period 1998–2022. Several suitable econometric estimators such as “Fixed Effects (FE)”, “Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGSL)”, and “Two Stages Least Squares (2SLS)” are used to obtain results. The main findings show that economic complexity degrades the quality of the environment significantly. However, the results further indicated that income level helps the economic complexity to improve environmental quality. Moreover, the results also revealed that trade openness, income level, and energy use have also significantly degraded the quality of the environment. The causality analysis performed demonstrated a one-way causal relationship running from economic complexity to environmental degradation. Our results have important policy implications for the policymakers of the BRICS economies.

Published: November 2024

To target the lack of suitable grass species in the ecological restoration process of the Muli mining area, nine ecological grass species of Gramineae, Gentianaceae, Scrophulariaceae, and Ranunculaceae were selected as experimental materials to simulate the external alkaline environment for a seed germination test, which could be used to explore the response of seed germination to the environment. At the same time, Poa pratensis L. ‘Qinghai’, Deschampsia cespitosa, Koeleria cristata, and Elymus tangutorum were used as test materials to carry out a variety of comparison and screening tests of suitable seeding rates. The effects of the seeding rate on plant coverage, biomass, forage nutrients, and soil properties were analyzed by a variety of comparison and seeding rate tests. The results showed the following: (1) The relative germination rate of Koeleria cristata, Elymus tangutorum, Deschampsia cespitosa, and Poa pratensis L. ‘Qinghai’ was more than 70%, and the coverage in the returning green period was more than 60%, which was significantly higher than that of other treatments (p < 0.05) and can better adapt to the environment of the Muli mining area compared to other grass species. Meanwhile, the adaptability of Pedicularis kansuensis, Gentiana macrophylla, and Aconitum pendulum was weak. (2) It was found that when the seeding rate was 9 g·m−2, the biomass of Poa pratensis L. ‘Qinghai’, Deschampsia cespitos, and Koeleria cristata was the highest, which was 296.45 g·m−2, 224.32 g·m−2, and 236.35 g·m−2, which was significantly higher than that of other treatments (p < 0.05); the aboveground biomass was 356.24 g·m−2 when the seeding rate of Elymus tangutorum was 18 g·m−2, which was significantly higher than that of other treatments (p < 0.05). The membership function showed that the comprehensive evaluation value was 0.701, 0.576, 0.610, and 0.673 when the seeding rate of Poa pratensis L. ‘Qinghai’, Deschampsia cespitos, and Koeleria cristata was 9 g·m−2 and the seeding rate of Elymus tangutorum was 18 g·m−2. To sum up, it is recommended that the four ecological grass species of Poa pratensis L. ‘Qinghai’, Deschampsia cespitosa, Koeleria cristata, and Elymus tangutorum can be used as the main grass species for ecological restoration in high-altitude and alpine areas such as the Muli mining area, which is affected by an alpine climate and fragile habitats. The optimum sowing rate of Poa pratensis L. ‘Qinghai’, Deschampsia cespitosa, and Koeleria cristata is 9 g·m−2, and that of Elymus tangutorum is 18 g·m−2. This cultivation method can effectively promote plant growth and development, improve the physicochemical properties of soil, and is conducive to improving the stability and sustainability of artificial grassland in alpine mining areas.
Three-Dimensional Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Trajectory Planning Based on the Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Yang Yong , Fu Yujie , Lu Dongyang , Xiang Honghui , Xu Kaijun
Published: November 2024

The effective planning of UAV trajectories in a 3D environment presents a complex global optimization challenge that must account for numerous constraints, including urban settings, mountainous terrain, obstacles, no-fly zones, flight boundaries, travel distances, and trajectory change rates. This paper addresses the limitations of the whale optimization algorithm in 3D trajectory planning—specifically its slow convergence, low accuracy, and susceptibility to local optimum—by proposing an improved whale optimization algorithm. This enhancement incorporates an inverse learning mechanism to increase the diversity of the initial population and integrates a nonlinear convergence factor with a random number generation mechanism to optimize the balance between global and local search capabilities. Our findings indicate that for both the standard and improved whale optimization algorithms, each individual in the population represents a feasible solution, corresponding one-to-one with distributed trajectories in the search space. Given that route planning typically occurs in three dimensions, there is spatial symmetry among the multiple potential trajectories from the starting point to the endpoint. The optimization algorithm identifies the optimal solution by exploring these symmetric trajectory paths, ultimately selecting the most favorable one based on additional constraints (e.g., no-fly zones and fuel consumption). Moreover, the convergence of the whale optimization algorithm depends on the diversity of individuals in the population and the thorough exploration of the search space. This symmetry facilitates a more uniform exploration of various trajectories by the population. In some instances, the optimization algorithm has achieved a 7.00% improvement in fitness value, a 10.05% reduction in optimal distance, and a 28.73% decrease in standard deviation. The increase in optimal values and the decrease in worst-case values underscore the effectiveness of the optimization algorithm, while the reduction in standard deviation reflects the stability of the algorithm’s output data. These results further confirm the advantages of the optimized algorithm.
Sustainable Operation Mode Choices for Second-Hand Inspection Platforms
Authors: Yue Han , Huang Min
Published: November 2024

The sale of second-hand goods has formed a complete industrial chain, and second-hand product testing is a crucial part of it. Second-hand inspection platforms (SIPs) have achieved remarkable commercial success by providing inspection services that alleviate consumers’ quality concerns. Different SIPs typically adopt various operation modes, such as consignment, resale, or hybrid modes. Appropriate operation modes not only benefit SIPs in maintaining profitability but also contribute to the sustainable development of the sharing economy. In order to realize the sustainable operation of second-hand inspection platforms, we construct a platform-dominated Stackelberg model to explore the motivations behind SIPs’ choices of different operation modes and investigate the impacts of changes in the inspection service level on the platform’s optimal decisions and market performance. System data analysis results show that the cost of guarantee significantly influences SIPs’ choices of operation modes, specifically; SIPs are inclined to adopt consignment mode or resale mode when the cost of guarantee is relatively high or low, respectively, and choose hybrid mode when the cost of guarantee is moderate. Furthermore, in the presence of inter-channel competition, if the inspection failure loss is relatively high, SIPs may lower the prices of used products as the inspection service level increases. Additionally, although inspection service can disclose the true quality of used products, a higher inspection service level may attract more low-quality sellers into the market when the inspection failure loss is substantial. Finally, under the resale mode, consumer surplus and social welfare will decrease with the inspection service level. Conversely, under the consignment or hybrid mode, both consumer surplus and social welfare will increase with the inspection service level when the inspection failure loss is relatively low.
An Analytical Model for the Plastic Bending of Anisotropic Sheet Materials, Incorporating the Strain-Hardening Effect
Authors: Erisov Yaroslav , Kuzin Alexander , Sedelnikov Andry
Published: November 2024

This study develops an analytical model for the plastic bending of anisotropic sheet materials, incorporating strain-hardening effects. The model, experimentally validated with aluminum alloy samples and digital image correlation, accurately predicts stress–strain distributions, bending moments, and thinning behavior in the bending processes. The results reveal that while plastic anisotropy significantly increases the strain intensity, enhancing it by up to 15% on the inner surface relative to the outer under identical bending radius, it does not affect the position of the neutral layer. Strain hardening, on the other hand, raises the bending moment by approximately 12% and contributes to material thinning, which can reach 3% at smaller bend radii. Furthermore, quantitative analysis shows that decreasing the bend radius intensifies the strain, impacting the final geometry of the workpiece. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing die design and material selection in forming processes involving anisotropic materials, enabling engineers to more precisely control the force requirements and product dimensions in applications where accurate bending characteristics are critical.

Published: November 2024

Background/Objectives: Influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2 are currently cocirculating with similar seasonality, and both pathogens are characterized by a high mutational rate which results in reduced vaccine effectiveness and thus requires regular updating of vaccine compositions. Vaccine formulations combining seasonal influenza and SARS-CoV-2 strains can be considered promising and cost-effective tools for protection against both infections. Methods: We used a licensed seasonal trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine (3×LAIV) as a basis for the development of a modified 3×LAIV/CoV-2 vaccine, where H1N1 and H3N2 LAIV strains encoded an immunogenic cassette enriched with conserved T-cell epitopes of SARS-CoV-2, whereas a B/Victoria lineage LAIV strain was unmodified. The trivalent LAIV/CoV-2 composition was compared to the classical 3×LAIV in the golden Syrian hamster model. Animals were intranasally immunized with the mixtures of the vaccine viruses, twice, with a 3-week interval. Immunogenicity was assessed on day 42 of the study, and the protective effect was established by infecting vaccinated hamsters with either influenza H1N1, H3N2 or B viruses or with SARS-CoV-2 strains of the Wuhan, Delta and Omicron lineages. Results: Both the classical 3×LAIV and 3×LAIV/CoV-2 vaccine compositions induced similar levels of serum antibodies specific to all three influenza strains, which resulted in comparable levels of protection against challenge from either influenza strain. Protection against SARS-CoV-2 challenge was more pronounced in the 3×LAIV/CoV-2-immunized hamsters compared to the classical 3×LAIV group. These data were accompanied by the higher magnitude of virus-specific cellular responses detected by ELISPOT in the modified trivalent LAIV group. Conclusions: The modified trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine encoding the T-cell epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 can be considered a promising tool for combined protection against seasonal influenza and COVID-19.

Published: November 2024

Soil nutrients are essential for plant survival, especially in karst regions where soil erosion is a significant threat, leading to ecosystem degradation. Rocks exposed in these areas contribute to fragmented soil coverage and the complex spatial distribution of soil nutrients, hindering vegetation recovery. In this study, we collected 60 soil samples (0–30 cm deep) from a typical rocky desertification slope. Classical statistics and geostatistics were used to assess the spatial variability of the following key soil properties: soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and total potassium (TK). The study mapped a continuous surface of soil nutrients using the ordinary kriging method to analyze the spatial variability of the karst slope. The results showed that, except for the bulk density and porosity, which showed little variation, the other soil characteristics had moderate to high levels of variability. The SOC, TN, and TP levels decreased with soil depth, while the TK content increased with soil depth. Each soil layer has strong spatial autocorrelation in its SOC. The variability of TP and TK decreases with soil depth, indicating strong spatial autocorrelation. In the 0–10 cm soil layer, the SOC displays the highest level of continuity, with the TN exhibiting a higher level of variability compared to the other nutrients. Within the 10–20 cm soil layer, the SOC, TN, TP, and TK all exhibit strong spatial autocorrelation. Moving to the 20–30 cm soil layer, the structural variability of SOC is the most pronounced. The correlation between soil nutrients and other soil properties was not strong, with only a cumulative explanatory power of 11.81% in the first two axes of a redundancy analysis (RDA). Among them, the bulk density and silt content had a significant impact on soil nutrients. Studying the spatial variability of soil nutrients in rocky desertification areas is crucial for improving soil quality and promoting vegetation restoration.

Authors: Shevchenko R.
Published: November 2024

In the context of modern cultural and educational processes of ensuring the quality of vocational education, the article highlights the advanced achievements of foreign and domestic experience in systematizing the key competencies of future specialists in the socio-cultural sphere in educational institutions of pre-professional education. The leading examples of such systematization by scientists from European countries (Germany, Austria, Finland, Belgium, etc.), international experts of the Organization for European Cooperation and Development, the Council of Europe are characterized. It has been found that foreign scientists and organizers of vocational education provide recommendations for the qualification of professional competencies on the basis of common (key) knowledge, skills, values, and work experience for all specialties; such key competencies include: educational and cognitive, general cultural, informational, communicative, social and labor, uniting them by a common understanding of the totality of personal qualities (abilities, skills, abilities) due to experience in a particular socially significant area.
Domestic scientists are expanding these approaches in professional (pre-professional, initial professional) education by focusing on the training of generalists capable of carrying out professional activities based on the integration of several specialties and professions. This is facilitated by the appropriate systematization of key (general) competencies, which include cognitive, social, communicative, informational, and special competencies.
Prospects for the study include the identification of a system of key competencies for specialists trained in colleges of culture and arts.

Published: November 2024

Farmers experience high stress levels, but are often reluctant to participate in mental health-specific programming. We tested providing stress supports to farmers by embedding information and resources within existing Extension production meetings. During meetings, farmers were offered blood pressure screenings where providers would also discuss stress; were offered an information packet on stress and health, and listened to a brief talk from a therapist with local roots. Farmers accepted screenings and resources, and several later contacted the therapist. Extension agents, initially cautious about addressing the topic of farmer stress, expressed greater confidence in talking about the issue after these meetings.

Authors: Restaino Christina , Eusden Spencer
Published: November 2024

There is a large effort across the United States to create fire adapted communities which are communities that are resilient to wildfire and are safe for firefighters to defend. These communities need adequate defensible space to become fire adapted, but the capacity to perform the work is low. A skilled workforce trained in defensible space can increase capacity and help communities be more prepared. We created a defensible space certification training program for landscape architects and contractors. The training is a way to increase our collective capacity to address the wildfire issue in Northern Nevada and across the West.

Published: November 2024

With climate-smart agriculture as the context, we explore one aspect of transdisciplinarity, the co-development of knowledge (CDK). Challenges were identified via matrix coding and word frequency queries of field day, meeting, and interview transcripts. Focusing on the Research-Extension team, we found they highly value collaboration and participatory-based projects, but developing trust-based relationships, enhancing long-term stakeholder investment, and understanding both team and stakeholder capacity was difficult. This paper informs transdisciplinary projects aimed at climate adaptation by illustrating the need for Research-Extension teams to take incremental steps towards CDK, to engage stakeholders before program planning, and to increase both interaction and reflexivity.

في ظل وجود عدة بدائل إستراتيجية أمام المؤسسات للتنافس في الصناعة التي تنتمي إليها، تظهر إستراتيجية التكامل العمودي كأحد أبرز هاته الاستراتيجيات التي تحقق للمؤسسات هدف النمو والتوسع في الصناعة، حيث تعتبر هاته الإستراتيجية بديلا فعالا لتكاليف معاملات السوق، عبر توجه المؤسسة لمزاولة الأنشطة التي تسبق النشاط الرئيسي للمؤسسة بنفسها أو ما يدعى بالتكامل العمودي الخلفي، وكذا التوجه نحو مزاولة الأنشطة اللاحقة أو ما يدعى بالتكامل العمودي للأمام.
من هنا تأتي هذه الدراسة التحليلية لإبراز مدى التكامل العمودي للمؤسسة الوطنية للمحروقات سوناطراك في الصناعة النفطية الجزائرية، حيث اتخذت المؤسسة منذ الاستقلال الى اليوم استراتيجية النمو والتوسع في الصناعة النفطية عبر التكامل العمودي الخلفي نحو أنشطة المنبع والتكامل العمودي الأمامي نحو أنشطة المصب. وتوصلت الدراسة إلى أن مجمع سوناطراك يمتلك اليوم 154 شركة تابعة وعبر الشراكة منها خمسة عشر مملوكة بنسبة 100 ٪ تغطي مختلف سلسلة الصناعة النفطية، وهو ما مكنها من احتكار الصناعة في الجزائر.

Arabic and Linguistic Authority: Studies in Programming
Authors: Ahmed Ibrahim Boubacar Aboubacar
Published: November 2024

This article begins with Madkour saying that ancient linguists "could not shake off the constraints of the past, and did not dare record anything of the language of the 20th century. They could not have done it, and the question requires greater authority and a stronger linguistic argument." This article analyzes his dictum "the greatest authority and the strongest linguistic argument", assuming that linguists did not primarily aim to dominate the language, especially since their effort was limited to presenting a descriptive study of the Arabic and to extract normative rules from it.
