Authors:   Institute of Cytology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, O. Skarlato Sergei , V. Telesh Irena ,   Institute of Cytology of the Russian Academy of Sciences,  Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: February 2025

The article analyses the role of kleptoplastidy as a key component of mixotrophic
feeding of bloom-forming dinoflagellates and one of the prerequisites of harmful
algae blooms (HABs) in marine coastal ecosystems. Basic ecological, cellular and
molecular features of the potentially toxic mixotrophic dinoflagellates Prorocentrum
cordatum are discussed in the context of possible usage of these protists as model
objects for evaluation of kleptoplastidy contribution to HABs. Future mathematical
modelling of kleptoplastidy in bloom-forming dinoflagellates is highlighted as a
new horizon in prospective studies of harmful blooms. The expected theoretical
and mechanistic kleptoplastidy models could help unveiling and assessing intricate
mechanisms that back up the mixotrophic feeding strategy of dinoflagellates
and many other mixoplankton species, thus promoting the fine-tuning of large
ecosystem models, including those aimed at HABs forecasting.
Amoeboid movement and actin cytoskeleton architecture in Pellita digitata (Amoebozoa, Centramoebia)
Authors:   Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Protistology, Zoological institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kudryavtsev Alexander , Volkova Ekaterina ,   Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Protistology, Zoological institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: February 2025

We present the results of a combined investigation of the dynamics of movement
and spatial structure of the actin cytoskeleton in Pellita digitata (Penard, 1902)
Smirnov and Kudryavtsev, 2005. A combination of differential interference
contrast light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy based on oriented
sectioning of the cells adhering to the substratum, and cytochemical staining of
F-actin allowed us to suggest possible correlation between F-actin structures
observed in the cytoplasm of this species and the phenomena associated with
its locomotion. We provide evidence that the cell coat moves forward during
locomotion of an amoeba in a rolling, caterpillar track-like manner. Numerous
bundles of F-actin are seen traversing the anterior hyaline area of the cell and
continue into subpseudopodia. Time-lapse analysis of the subpseudopodial
formation suggests that this process is facilitated by the actin bundles that
push plasma membrane forward in the point of formation of subpseudopodia.
Further, actin bundles link subpseudopodia that serve as points of attachment
to the substratum with the rest of the cell’s actin cytoskeleton represented by
F-actin layer at the periphery of granuloplasm.

Two new species and a new record of the asexual micromycete genus Endophragmiella from Mexico
Authors: Arias Rosa María , Castañeda-Ruiz Rafael F. , Heredia Gabriela
Published: February 2025

Background and Aims: Endophragmiella species are saprobic asexual microfungi with a wide geographical distribution. Morphologically, the genus is characterized by simple or branched conidiophores, monoblastic, percurrently extending conidiogenous cells, and 0- or multiseptated conidia, variable in shape and seceding rhexolytically. The aim of this study was to describe two new species, Endophragmiella chiapanensis and E. multiseptata, and to record E. gardeniae for the first time from Mexico.
Methods: Plant debris was collected from the soil in areas of oak-pine forest in Chiapas and in a cloud forest in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Material was transported to the laboratory and incubated in moist chambers. Microscopic slides of the sporophores were made, and spores were simultaneously transferred to plates with culture media. Reference materials (microscopic preparations) were deposited in the herbarium XAL of the Instituto de Ecología, A.C. in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.
Key results: Taxonomic determination was based on morphological analysis of sporophores. Endophragmiella chiapanensis is characterized by fusiform, mostly 3-euseptate, versicolorous conidia, brown to pale brown, often bearing a selenosporella-like synanamorph in the apical cell, whereas E. multiseptata is distinguished by cylindrical to obclavate, mostly 9-septate, concolorous, pale brown conidia. With the present contribution, 13 species of Endophragmiella have been reported from Mexico.
Conclusions: The species described as new taxa present conidiogenesis, secession and conidial morphological features typical of the genus Endophragmiella. However, conidial size and shape distinguish them from the remaining species described so far within the genus. Endophragmiella species have been poorly studied in Mexico. More field work and molecular studies are necessary to increase our knowledge of their diversity as well as to define their phylogenetic affinities.
Comparative analysis of diagnostic criteria of classical cardiology and cardiometry
Authors: Rudenko M. Y.
Published: February 2025

Purpose of research. Cardiometry, which has been developing for more than thirty years, has achieved certain results that make it possible to expand the diagnostic capabilities of the ECG. However, the criteria for cardio-metric diagnoses have not yet been included in the regulatory indicators approved by the Ministry of Health. Taking into account the possibilities of cardiometry and the pace of its development, this article provides a comparison of the forecasts obtained by classical and cardiometric methods from the standpoint of interchangeability.

The purpose of research is to compare the cardiological diagnoses made on the basis of ECG obtained by classical and cardiometric methods, using the position of interchangeability.

Methods. In this paper, the principle of superposition is applied, which consists in using one function to process the results of another. The existing classical result is described using a cardiometric function. As a result, in practice there is a logical possibility of moving to a more accurate diagnosis. At the same time, the basis of the classical diagnosis is not destroyed.

Results. A comparative analysis of classical cardiological and cardiometric ECG assessment methods is presented. A total of 11 diagnoses were considered. Specific conclusions and recommendations are made for each comparison. Cardiometry allows a qualitative assessment of: a) The U-wave on the ECG occurs during the early diastole phase. It is associated with the filling of the coronary bloodstream, but the quality of its filling can only be diagnosed using a synchronously recorded rheogram from point T, the end of wave T to the beginning of wave U; b) hyper- and hypocalcemia are evaluated in the S – L phase by the amplitude of the phase; c) hyper- and hypokalemia are evaluated in the L-phase. j by phase amplitude.

Conclusion. This work shows the possibilities of expanding the classical cardiological diagnosis based on an ECG.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of research is improving the quality of monitoring safety violations in energy facilities of enterprises through the use of a method of automated incident detection in real time, based on the conveyor application of neural network models.

Methods. The article proposes a pipeline neural network model YOLO – Tesseract – YOLO, designed to solve the problem of automated access control and monitoring compliance with safety regulations in real time at energy facilities of enterprises. A method for access control and monitoring compliance with safety regulations at energy facilities of enterprises is proposed, consisting in the pipeline application of neural network models YOLOv8 and Tesseract-OCR using morphological image processing, allowing to classify a group of electrical safety clearances based on recognized patterns in an employee's ID card and detect safety violations when working with electrical installations in real time.

Results. A number of experiments were conducted, during which error matrices were obtained, which made it possible to evaluate the classification quality of the pipeline neural network model using such metrics as Recall, Precision and F1-measure, the metric values were presented for all classes. The value of the F1-measure metric for the YOLO1 neural network model used to evaluate the overall efficiency, equal to 0.98, indicates a balanced relationship between the accuracy and recall of the model. The value of the F1-measure metric for the YOLO2 neural network model equal to 0.73 indicates acceptable results of the model for solving the classification problem in real time, but indicates the need to refine this part of the pipeline neural network model to improve the overall efficiency.

Conclusion. The results obtained during the study indicate an acceptable quality of the pipeline neural network model in solving the problem of automated access control and monitoring compliance with safety regulations in real time. Keywords: monitoring, safety engineering, access control, energy facilities of enterprises, pipeline neural network model, Tesseract-OCR, YOLOv8, classification.
Characterizing Experiences With Hikikomori Syndrome on Twitter Among Japanese-Language Users: Qualitative Infodemiology Content Analysis
Authors: Uchiyama Misa Ashley , Bekki Hirofumi , McMann Tiana , Li Zhuoran , Mackey Tim
Published: February 2025

Background

Hikikomori syndrome is a form of severe social withdrawal prevalent in Japan but is also a worldwide psychiatric issue. Twitter (subsequently rebranded X) offers valuable insights into personal experiences with mental health conditions, particularly among isolated individuals or hard-to-reach populations.

Objective

This study aimed to examine trends in firsthand and secondhand experiences reported on Twitter between 2021 and 2023 in the Japanese language.

Methods

Tweets were collected using the Twitter academic research application programming interface filtered for the following keywords: “#引きこもり,” “#ひきこもり,” “#hikikomori,” “#ニート,” “#脱ひきこもり,” “#不登校,” and “#自宅警備員.” The Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers language model was used to analyze all Japanese-language posts collected. Themes and subthemes were then inductively coded for in-depth exploration of topic clusters relevant to first- and secondhand experiences with hikikomori syndrome.

Results

We collected 2,018,822 tweets, which were narrowed down to 379,265 (18.79%) tweets in Japanese from January 2021 to January 2023. After examining the topic clusters output by the Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers model, 4 topics were determined to be relevant to the study aims. A total of 400 of the most highly interacted with tweets from these topic clusters were manually annotated for inclusion and exclusion, of which 148 (37%) tweets from 89 unique users were identified as relevant to hikikomori experiences. Of these 148 relevant tweets, 71 (48%) were identified as firsthand accounts, and 77 (52%) were identified as secondhand accounts. Within firsthand reports, the themes identified included seeking social support, personal anecdotes, debunking misconceptions, and emotional ranting. Within secondhand reports, themes included seeking social support, personal anecdotes, seeking and giving advice, and advocacy against the negative stigma of hikikomori.

Conclusions

This study provides new insights into experiences reported by web-based users regarding hikikomori syndrome specific to Japanese-speaking populations. Although not yet found in diagnostic manuals classifying mental disorders, the rise of web-based lifestyles as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance of discussions regarding hikikomori syndrome in web-based spaces. The results indicate that social media platforms may represent a web-based space for those experiencing hikikomori syndrome to engage in social interaction, advocacy against stigmatization, and participation in a community that can be maintained through a web-based barrier and minimized sense of social anxiety.

Authors: Lee Seung-Yup , Saleem Mohammad , Land Andrew , DeLaney Erin , Garretson Alison , Patel Mahee , Hall Allyson G , Westrick Salisa , Ovalle Fernando , Cherrington Andrea , Banaszak-Holl Jane
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Diabetes remains a critical public health issue, affecting millions of individuals and contributing to significant healthcare costs. Patients with diabetes face elevated risks of emergency department (ED) visits post-hospitalization, driven by both clinical factors, such as comorbidities, and social determinants of health (SDoH).

OBJECTIVE

Effective and interpretable predictive models can help identify high-risk patients with diabetes to improve case management post-hospitalization.

METHODS

This study utilized retrospective cohort data from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center, focusing on patients with diabetes hospitalized between January 2020 and March 2024. Clinical data and SDoH variables were integrated into logistic regression, decision trees, and XGBoost models to predict ED visits within three months post-hospitalization. Performance metrics, such as area under the curve (AUC), precision, sensitivity, and specificity, were used to evaluate the models.

RESULTS

Key predictors of ED visits included past three-month ED visits, insulin usage (aspart and glargine), and SDoH indicators such as the Area Deprivation Index and Social Vulnerability Index. XGBoost demonstrated excellent performance with an AUC of 0.846, outperforming both decision trees and logistic regression, though decision trees provided greater interpretability.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights the importance of integrating clinical and SDoH factors to predict post-hospitalization ED visits, supporting care management in patients with diabetes. While XGBoost provided superior prediction performance, the trade-off between accuracy and interpretability suggests that decision trees may be better suited for contexts where actionable in-sights are critical for care providers. Future research should address missing SDoH data and explore the real-world applicability and scalability of these models.

Authors: Xiang Xiaoling , Ash Samson , Turner Skyla , Zhang Xinyin , Narbut Elyse , An Ruopeng , Jester Jennifer N. , Park Sunggeun , Himle Joseph A.
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Homebound older adults face a high burden of depression and significant barriers to accessing mental health treatments. Few interventions address their specific needs. Empower@Home, an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program, was co-designed with stakeholders and tailored to older adults. The program includes nine self-paced online sessions to be completed within 12 weeks, augmented by telephone-based human support. Efficacy studies have demonstrated its acceptability and effectiveness in reducing depression when supported by trained research staff. However, its real-world effects and feasibility for integration into community aging service settings remain unknown.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the real-world effectiveness of Empower@Home integrated into aging services, using non-clinician agency staff as coaches to support older adults. A secondary objective is to evaluate the implementation process through a qualitative process evaluation.

METHODS

The study is a Type 1 Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial with a two-arm randomized controlled design. A total of 256 homebound older adults will be recruited from three community aging service agencies, and agency staff will be trained as coaches to support iCBT use. Participants in the treatment group will receive Empower@Home immediately, while the control group will receive biweekly friendly calls and enhanced care as usual, including the provision of psychoeducational materials and usual care. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and at two follow-up points (24 and 36 weeks). The primary outcome is change in depressive symptoms as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Secondary outcomes include changes in social isolation, health-related quality of life, disability burden, pain intensity, and anxiety symptoms.

RESULTS

Institutional Review Board approval was obtained in August 2024, and recruitment began in October 2024. Recruitment is expected to conclude by April 2028. Upon trial completion, the effectiveness of Empower@Home on primary and secondary outcomes will be analyzed.

CONCLUSIONS

This study will provide critical insights into the real-world effectiveness of Empower@Home. If successful, it offers a scalable, cost-effective model for integrating technology-assisted mental health treatments into community aging services, enhancing access to care for an underserved, hard-to-reach population.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

With rapid economic growth and lifestyle changes, diet-related diseases have emerged as a major global public health concern. As one of the most populous countries in the world, China is experiencing significant shifts in dietary patterns and is actively implementing a range of dietary interventions.

OBJECTIVE

This study seeks to provide a comprehensive assessment of diet-related burden of diseases in China and explore their trends from 1990 to 2021.

METHODS

Data on sex- and age- specific burdens from dietary risks in China were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021. The GBD study included number of deaths, mortality rate, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to assess the disease burden. Temporal trends of age-standardized rates (ASRs) from 1990 to 2021 were evaluated by estimating annual percentage changes (EAPCs).

RESULTS

In China, the number of deaths and DALYs attributed to dietary factors in 2021 was estimated at 1.70 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 0.69–2.68) and 38.39 million person-years (95% UI: 16.21–58.61) respectively. The ASR-DALY had an EAPC of -1.76 (95% UI: -2.39 to -1.55). Cardiovascular diseases were the leading cause of diet-related deaths, with high sodium, low whole grain and low fruit intake as the leading dietary risk factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The diet-related disease burden in China remains a significant concern. We recommend regular monitoring of population nutrient intake, raising public awareness on the importance of a nutritious diet and adopting appropriate evidence-based strategies to intervene dietary risk factors.

Authors: Sabriyah F. Abuajaila , Salma M. Aboubakr
Published: February 2025

This study was conducted to evaluate the various effects of nettle extract and potassium bromate on the histological and physiological changes of male rabbit reproductive organs and semen quality. Rabbit breeding experiments were conducted on a private farm in Lamluda region, Al-Qubbah city, eastern Libya, during the year 2024. Rabbits were divided into three groups: the first was dosed with potassium bromate, the second was dosed with nettle extract, and the third was dosed with potassium bromate for three days followed by nettle extract for three days, compared to the fourth group, as a control group. At the experiment's end, all animals were sacrificed, their epididymides were removed, and sperm assays were performed. The results showed that the weights of rabbits treated with potassium bromate and a mixture of potassium bromate + nettle extract decreased by 26.59% and 19.48% compared to the control, and the testis weight decreased by 190.39%, 25.83%, and 71.59% for each of the samples treated with potassium bromate, nettle extract, and the mixture of both compared to the control, respectively. The findings revealed that animals exposed to potassium bromate had a significantly decreased sperm count, higher semen viscosity, distracted and erratic sperm motility, and abnormalities in the sperm, with the head becoming spherical and the tail short, broken, and divided. The use of nettle extract, however, reduced these disturbances.

Authors: Shrestha Simran , Awasthi Sushil , Das Bikash Kumar
Published: February 2025

A study was carried out in Gulmi District, Nepal, focused on the status of post-harvest technology and mandarin post-harvest losses. A random sampling technique was used to select the household and an interview with a semi-structured questionnaire was carried out. Collected data were analyzed by using descriptive through SPSS and Ms. Excel and results were obtained. Through the collection and analysis of data from a sample of 100 respond-ents, this study delved into various aspects of Mandarin’s post-harvest status, including socio-demographic char-acteristics, post-harvest operation, and challenges faced by farmers. The findings revealed critical insights into the demographics of the surveyed farmers, their practices related to post-harvest management of Mandarin, and the issues they encounter. The study uncovered that while many farmers exhibit a lower understanding of post-harvesting technology including the use of chemicals, processing facilities, the effect of proper harvesting tech-nique, and other post-harvest handling practices on the shelf life of fruits, there is still room for improvement, particularly in post-harvest handling techniques and access to markets. Aggregate mean post-harvest losses were found to be 8.12% at the harvesting stage, followed by 4.05% at the grading stage, 3.07% at the sorting stage, and 1.65% during storage. The end use of market-rejected poor-grade fruits was also studied. The research also high-lighted the significance of farmer groups and the potential for training programs to enhance post-harvest knowledge and skills. Furthermore, the study identified critical needs among farmers, emphasizing the importance of access to essential resources, training, credit related to post-harvest management, marketing assistance, and improved infrastructure to improve Mandarin post-harvest handling in the region. These findings can inform tar-geted interventions and policies aimed at enhancing Mandarin farming practices, post-harvest handling practic-es, and improving farmers' livelihoods in the Gulmi district.

Authors: Pant Janak , Dawadi Prava
Published: February 2025

The interrelationship between factors of climate change and oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis have not been investigated thoroughly in Nepal. Thus, a study was conducted to understand the effect of different factors of climate change on growth and development of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis. The study was carried out in laboratory conditions of the Entomology department, Agriculture and Forestry University, Chitwan, Nepal where samples of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis were collected and reared in the artificial condition. Oriental fruit flies B. dorsalis of a specific stage were tested in the environmental chambers to determine their interlinkage with fluctuating relative humidity and temperature. Sample insects were also kept in the chambers to detect their effect by variable carbon dioxide (CO2). At 50c temperature the average numbers of B. dorsalis were 15, however, their growth and development changed leading to their numbers equal to 13 at 150c and 1 at 400c. The average numbers (i.e., growth and development) of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis observed were non-significant with variable temperature. Growth and development of B. dorsalis found positively correlated with the relative humidity. Maximum development and increase in pest population detected between 60-70%. Relative humidity (RH). Growth and development of oriental fruit fly B. dorsalis were positively correlated with changing carbon dioxide (CO2), however, significant increase in pest population found at 570 ppm carbon dioxide. Therefore, the factors of climate change found directly interrelated with the growth and development of oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis.

It aims to examine how security forces use data processing and warn of the risks of indiscriminate application of these approaches. Furthermore, it attempts to view the chain of custody as crucial to guaranteeing the authenticity and integrity of evidence, especially in the context of digital evidence. The research is qualitative and exploratory. The technique of analyzing documents from legal and criminological literature was used, through hypothetical-deductive method, to assess how new technologies, specifically artificial intelligence, impact on criminal investigation and the Brazilian criminal process. It is necessary to adapt legal procedures to the digital era, especially regarding the admissibility of digital evidence, by examining its integrity and authenticity. It is concluded that there is an urgency to adapt criminal investigation procedures, given the influence of virtualization on criminal prosecution, since legal arguments now depend on digital tools and evidence.
A avaliação de revistas jurídicas no Brasil: perspectivas futuras em um cenário “pós-Qualis”
Authors: Hachem Daniel Wunder , Vasconcellos Vinicius Gomes de
Published: February 2025

The extinction of “Qualis Periódicos” by CAPES marks a transformation in the evaluation of scientific article production in Brazil, particularly in the field of Law. For years, Qualis was the main (and perhaps the only) criterion for classifying law journals in Brazil, influencing both scholars’ choice of periodicals and the evaluation of stricto sensu Graduate Programs. The system brought significant advancements, such as increased objectivity in evaluation, greater recognition of scientific journals, and the strengthening of peer review. However, it also faced criticism, including a lack of predictability in the early evaluation cycles, delays in classification, and the imposition of uniform criteria that were inadequate for certain fields. With CAPES' new methodology, the evaluation aims to focus on individual articles rather than just the journals that publish them. Each evaluation area will have the autonomy to adopt different criteria, combining bibliometric indicators, qualitative analysis of articles, and qualitative criteria for journals. In the case of Law, indexing in recognized databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, and Redalyc emerges as a relevant parameter for assessing publication quality. The adaptation of law journals to the requirements of these indexing databases becomes essential to expanding the number of indexed periodicals. Measures such as improving editorial practices and adhering to international indexing standards are fundamental to ensuring the continued recognition of law journals within CAPES' new evaluation framework.

The correlation between left atrial appendage morphology and thromboembolic risk in atrial fibrillation
Authors: Li Chengyi , wang Yaoji , Xu Buyun
Published: February 2025

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and a
major cause of ischemic stroke. Between 91% and 100% of cardiogenic
thrombi are in the left atrial appendage (LAA), and the morphology of
the LAA might be associated with the formation of LAA thrombus (LAAT).
This review provides a detailed discussion of the LAA’s anatomy and the
LAAT’s diagnosis. It focuses on analyzing the role of LAA morphology in
blood stasis, morphological abnormality, and hypercoagulable states.
Accurate evaluation of the morphology of the LAA can assist with risk
stratification in patients with AF. The commonly used LAA morphological
evaluation indicators must be more comprehensive and objective.
Recently, new imaging protocols allow for LA morphological remodeling
and fibrosis assessment, which has been demonstrated to correlate with
assessing the individual’s risks of thromboembolic events and practical

Late spring frosts (LSF) pose ecological and economic risks, yet their
changing frequency and extent under climate warming remain unclear.
Using 1220 observations from 304 French oak populations (1997–2021), we
developed and validated a model to simulate LSF damage. Our results
reveal a long-term decline in LSF frequency (-0.22% yr⁻¹) and extent
(-0.34% yr⁻¹) from 1961 to 2021, driven by a faster advancement of the
last frost day (-0.28 days yr⁻¹) than budburst (-0.21 days yr⁻¹).
However, regional variations emerge, with continental areas experiencing
increased frost damage extent despite reduced frequency. These findings
underscore the importance of considering both LSF frequency and extent
when assessing frost risks in a warming climate, providing a
comprehensive framework for future ecological and economic evaluations
of LSF impacts.

Machine learning methods provide a promising approach for exploiting
relationships between raw forecasts and observations for forecast
calibration. This paper highlights the role of data transformation in
rainfall forecast calibration with machine learning. We develop a novel
architecture that accounts for the positive skewness and zero bound of
rainfall by incorporating a normalizing transformation (log-sinh) into
distributional regression neural networks (NN). A unified loss function
is formulated based on the negative log-likelihood function for
parameter optimization. To test the importance of data transformation,
we conduct five calibration experiments: one that does not use
transformation at all (the baseline) while the others use the log-sinh
transformation in different ways. All experiments are based on 10-day
rainfall forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather
Forecasts (ECMWF) from 2011 to 2022. Overall, the calibration methods
effectively correct spatiotemporally varying biases in raw forecasts and
improve reliability, yielding mean skill improvements of approximately
2% to 11% and in the best case reducing forecast biases to less than
2%. Without transformation, the baseline method suffers from forecast
biases ranging from −30% to 50%, due to its limited ability to
characterize the uncertainty of rainfall forecasts. Of the four
experiments that use the log-sinh transformation, the optimal
performance is achieved by the combined use of transforming raw
forecasts for the input layer and utilizing fixed transformation
parameters for generating calibrated forecasts in the output layer. We
show that this method marginally outperforms an advanced existing
Bayesian Ensemble Model Output Statistics method in reducing forecast
biases.

Status gizi balita merupakan indikator penting dalam menentukan kualitas kesehatan masyarakat. Ketidakseimbangan gizi pada balita dapat menyebabkan masalah kesehatan serius, seperti stuntuing dan peningkatan risiko penyakit kronis dikemudian hari. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis metode pengelompokkan data gizi balita melalui penerapan algoritma K-Means++ yang lebih presisi, serta evaluasi jumlah cluster yang optimal dengan metode elbow dan silhouette, serta validasi dengan nilai DBI dalam mengelompokkan gizi balita. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan subjek data status gizi balita yang diperoleh dari platform Kaggle. Data dianalisis menggunakan algoritma K-means ++ untuk menentukan titik centroid awal secara lebih presisi dibandingkan algoritma K-Means klasik. Evakuasi jumlah cluster dilakukan menggunakan metode Silhouette dan Elbow, sedangkan validasi hasil clustering dilakukan dengan Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI). Hasil analisis menunjukkan metode Silhouette menghasilkan jumlah cluster terbaik pada K sama dengan 2 dengan rata-rata nilai Silhouette mendekati 1. Sementara itu, metode Elbow menunjukkan titik siku pada K sama dengan 5 yang artinya jumlah cluster optimal berada pada titik tersebut. Validasi menggunakan DBI menunjukkan bahwa nilai DBI untuk metode Silhouette dengan K sama dengan 2 adalah 0,682471249, sedangkan nilai DBI untuk metode Elbow dengan K sama dengan 5 adalah 1,238458579. Nilai DBI yang lebih rendah pada K sama dengan 2 menunjukkan bahwa clustering tersebut memiliki kohesi internal yang kuat dan pemisahan yang jelas antar cluster, sehingga ditetapkan K=2 yang diperoleh dengan metode Silhouette sebagai hasil clustering yang optimal.

Investment is an important element of the growth and the development of economic. Foreign DirectInvestment (FDI) is one of the investment sources as an alternative to the Domestic Investment thatmight be difficult to be fulfilled by a country itself. The increased numbers of FDI inflows toASEAN countries turns out were not evenly distributed to each country. This research is importantto determine the development and determinants of FDI inflows in six ASEAN countries in the periodof 1998-2016. From the panel data regression analysis, it can be concluded that the variable levelsof corruption negatively affect the FDI inflows, while the level of economic freedom and incomeper capita has a positive effect on FDI inflows in six ASEAN countries in 1998-2016.
Об изменениях в государственной научно-публикационной политике, «Белом списке» и перспективах развития российских научных журналов
Authors: Кириллова О. В.
Published: February 2025

Государственная научно-публикационная политика в России начиная с 2022 г. претерпела значительные изменения. Три года в новых условиях санкционного давления и отказа в доступе к международным наукометрическим базам данных Web of Science и Scopus компаниями– владельцами этих ресурсов не прошли незаметно. В связи с тем, что в последние более чем 12 лет отчетность о результатах научной деятельности формировалась в основном по данным о публикациях в журналах, индексируемых в этих базах данных, в начале 2022 г. были даны распоряжения и предприняты шаги по созданию собственной национальной системы оценки результативности научных исследований и разработок. Путь оказался непростым, многоступенчатым и в результате к концу 2024 г. привел к решению о создании Единого государственного списка научных изданий – «Белого списка», определив, таким образом, отмену Перечня рецензируемых научных изданий, в которых должны быть опубликованы основные научные результаты диссертаций (Перечня ВАК). В последние дни уходящего 2024 года Российским центром научной информации (РЦНИ) вниманию членов новой Межведомственной рабочей группы по формированию и актуализации «Белого списка» научных журналов был представлен проект Методики формирования и категорирования Единого государственного списка научных изданий – «Белого списка». Ознакомление с проектом вызвало потребность вспомнить о государственной политике за прошедшие годы, повлиявшей на развитие российских журналов. На основе анализа содержания этого проекта сформулированы некоторые комментарии по отдельным пунктам Методики, требованиям к российским журналам, изложенным в приложениях, а также критериям проведения экспертной оценки изданий, которые в представленном варианте вряд ли помогут экспертам дать объективную оценку качеству российских журналов. Некоторые требования к российским журналам, изложенные в Методике, возможно, потребуют принятия дальнейших государственных решений, связанных в первую очередь с выделением научной периодики как отдельного вида изданий из всего огромного потока средств массовой информации (СМИ), а также пересмотра либо корректировки определенных законодательных актов с признанием редакционно-издательской деятельности в научной сфере важнейшей составляющей, влияющей на формирование отчетов о результатах научных исследований и разработок.
agenda antártica durante el Gobierno de Alberto Fernández
Authors: Berardi Lilian , Mántaras Martina
Published: February 2025

Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la Política Exterior de la administración de Alberto Fernández (2019-2023) hacia el Sector Antártico Argentino, continuando una política de largo plazo que busca fortalecer la presencia permanente. En este sentido, en 1904 el gobierno argentino compró la pequeña estación meteorológica en la isla Laurie de Orcadas del Sur y desde entonces mantiene una presencia ininterrumpida en la Antártida consolidándose como un país bicontinental. A partir de la firma del Tratado Antártico (1959), y su consecuente ratificación (1961), Argentina forma parte del Sistema del Tratado Antártico que, a través de diferentes instrumentos, se compromete con la protección del ambiente y sus ecosistemas, la conservación de recursos pesqueros, entre otros fines. En consonancia con esta política, se enmarca el establecimiento de la secretaría del Tratado Antártico en la ciudad de Buenos Aires.
