Published: February 2025

Records of traffic accidents contain a wealth of information regarding accident
causes and consequences. It provides a valuable data foundation for accident
analysis. The diversity and complexity of textual data pose significant
challenges in knowledge extracting. Previous research primarily relies on
Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract knowledge from texts and uses
knowledge graphs (KGs) to store information in a structured way. However, the
process based on NLP typically necessitates extensive annotated datasets for
model training, which is complex and time-consuming. Moreover, the application
of traffic accident knowledge graphs by direct information querying within the
graph requiring complex commands, which leads to poor interaction capabilities.
In this study, we adapt an innovative approach integrates Large Language Models
(LLMs) for the construction and application of a traffic accident knowledge
graph. Based on the defined schema layer of the traffic accident knowledge
graph, we employ LLMs to extract knowledge from accident records and refine the
extraction process by using prompts and few-shot learning mechanism. To ensure
the accuracy of the extracted result, we employ a dual verification method
combines self-verification of LLMs with manual inspection. Then we visualize the
knowledge by using Neo4j. Finally, we explore the application of KGs within the
framework of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and construct an intelligent
question-answering system. The combination of LLMs and KGs facilitates a
framework of semi-automated knowledge extraction and analysis. The Knowledge
Graph-Based Retrieval-Augmented Generation Question Answering System for Traffic
Accidents enables complex query and answering tasks such as causation analysis
and scenario generation for autonomous driving tests. The integration of KGs and
LLMs not only expands the application scenarios of KGs but also reduces the risk
of hallucination in responses generated by LLMs. This method efficiently
Extracting information from unstructured textual data, advances the
digitalization and intelligence of traffic accident management.
Benchmarking Large Language Models for Motorway Driving Scenario
Understanding

Published: February 2025

Systematic testing of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) requires finding relevant
test cases. The extraction of critical cases, also called edge or corner cases,
from naturalistic driving data is a complex task and often prone to multiple
errors. Large Language Models (LLMs) have been employed for virtual testing of
ADS in recent years; however, quantitatively benchmarking LLMs’ performance in
this task has been barely investigated. In this paper, based on the
characteristics of different LLMs, six LLMs were selected for benchmarking the
LLMs’ ability to understand ADS functional scenarios on motorways. A novel
scenario classification model was introduced to enhance the granularity of data
categorization for motorway driving scenarios. Different driving scenarios,
described in natural language, were defined for testing the capability of these
LLMs to understand various scenarios and convert them into standardized
structured data. To perform the benchmarking in a standardized manner, the same
prompt engineering and the same dataset were used to interact with each selected
LLM and explore the LLMs’ sensitivity to language style variation. For each
group of classified driving scenarios, two different formats of natural language
descriptions were fed to the LLMs for splitting the testing data. The test
results indicate that “gpt-4-1106-preview” model achieves the highest accuracy,
followed by “gpt-3.5-turbo”, and “llama3-70b-instruct”, while other LLMs show
error consistency between 40% and 60%. The LLMs “gpt-4-1106-preview” and
“llama3-70b-instruct” feature lower error consistency in their outputs under the
two different formats of natural language, indicating greater robustness in
handling varying textual inputs. The outcome of this work contributes to
applications of LLMs on scenario extraction for ADS testing.

Published: February 2025

The asphalt pavement plant mixing hot recycling technology not only reduces the
consumption of natural resources by recycling discarded asphalt pavement, but
also effectively saves economic costs. However, the composition of recycled
asphalt pavement (RAP) materials exhibits significant variability, which hinders
the widespread use of RAP in recycled asphalt mixtures (RAM). To address this
issue, this article evaluated the variability of RAP with different rock types
and the addition of new aggregates and asphalt-aggregate ratios, and developed
intelligent software to determine the maximum allowable RAP content for
different road grades. At the same time, homogenization measures such as
classification and stacking of RAP should be taken to increase the RAP content.
The results show that Basalt RAP exhibits more significant variability in
grading and asphalt-aggregate ratio compared to Limestone RAP. Additionally, the
variability in RAP grading is greater than that in asphalt-aggregate ratio.
There is also some fluctuation in the ratio of newly added aggregates to
asphalt, with the fluctuation of new aggregates being greater than that of new
asphalt. The maximum RAP content determined by intelligent software is
controlled by the RAP asphalt-aggregate ratio, and due to the greater
variability of basalt RAP asphalt-aggregate ratio, its determined maximum
content is smaller than that in limestone RAP. In addition, the homogenization
treatment of RAP can reduce the coefficient of variation of the 4.75mm, 2.36mm,
and 0.075mm sieve size pass rates of RAM by 3.65%, 3.25%, and 3.31%,
respectively, while reducing the coefficient of variation of asphalt aggregate
ratio by 1.21%. Through this homogenization measure, the factory can produce RAM
with more stable gradation and asphalt aggregate ratio.

Pavement
Authors: Hu Yufan , Fan Jianwei , Tang Fanlong , Ma Tao
Published: February 2025

This paper presents advanced intelligent monitoring methods aimed at enhancing
the quality and durability of asphalt pavement construction. The study focuses
on two critical tasks: foreign object detection and the uniform application of
tack coat oil. For object recognition, the YOLOv5 algorithm is employed, which
provides real-time detection capabilities essential for construction
environments where timely decisions are crucial. A meticulously annotated
dataset comprising 4,108 images, created with the LabelImg tool, ensures the
accurate detection of foreign objects such as leaves and cigarette butts. By
utilizing pre-trained weights during model training, the research achieved
significant improvements in key performance metrics, including precision and
recall rates.

In addition to object detection, the study explores color space analysis through
the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) model to effectively differentiate between
coated and uncoated pavement areas following the application of tack coat oil.
Statistical analyses, including mean and standard deviation calculations of HSV
values, provide critical insights into color differences that inform the
establishment of threshold settings for effective identification. The research
also addresses various challenges posed by environmental factors, such as steam
and smoke, which can interfere with visual recognition during construction
operations. To mitigate these challenges, an innovative automated mechanical
system was designed to stabilize the camera, ensuring consistent data
acquisition and significantly enhancing the reliability of visual data for
detection tasks. By significantly improving identification accuracy and overall
pavement quality, this research contributes to the development of more efficient
construction methodologies and maintenance procedures. The implications of this
work suggest that the adoption of advanced technologies is vital for
facilitating reliable and efficient construction processes, ultimately leading
to better long-term performance of asphalt pavement surfaces. This study aims to
establish a foundation for future research in intelligent monitoring, promoting
the continuous improvement of construction practices within the industry.
On the on-line coloring of unit interval graphs with proper interval representation
Authors: Curbelo Israel R. , Malko Hannah R.
Published: February 2025

We define the problem as a two-player game between Algorithm and Builder. The game is played in rounds. Each round, Builder presents an interval that is neither contained in nor contains any previously presented interval. Algorithm immediately and irrevocably assigns the interval a color that has not been assigned to any interval intersecting it. The set of intervals form an interval representation for a unit interval graph and the colors form a proper coloring of that graph. For every positive integer $\omega$, we define the value $R(\omega)$ as the maximum number of colors for which Builder has a strategy that forces Algorithm to use $R(\omega)$ colors with the restriction that the unit interval graph constructed cannot contain a clique of size $\omega+1$. In 1981, Chrobak and \'{S}lusarek showed that $R(\omega)\leq2\omega -1$. In 2005, Epstein and Levy showed that $R(\omega)\geq\lfloor{3\omega/2\rfloor}$. This problem remained unsolved for $\omega\geq 3$. In 2023, Bir\'o and Curbelo showed that $R(3)=5$. In this paper, we show that $R(4)=7$

Sin embargo, la Directiva olvida abordar cuestiones de gran trascendencia, como la relativa a los tiempos de trabajo, a pesar de la extendida práctica empresarial de considerar como tal solo los momentos de prestación efectiva del servicio y no todo el periodo de conexión. El presente estudio, junto con el análisis del nuevo marco jurídico, se adelanta al legislador español e incorpora algunas propuestas acerca de cómo deberían ser traspuestos algunos de sus puntos más relevantes a nuestro ordenamiento laboral.
A Rapid Evidence Review on Consumer Responses to Cell-Cultivated Products
Authors:   Food Standards Agency
Published: February 2025

An evidence review was undertaken to examine consumer responses to cell-cultivated products (meat, seafood, dairy and plants). Cell-cultivated products are foods made without slaughter or traditional farming. For example, cells from animals are grown in a controlled setting and then used to create the final product. Most of the available evidence only examined cell-cultivated meat. All findings are based on UK evidence, except where otherwise stated. The key findings are outlined below.

A minority (16-41%) of people are willing to consume cell-cultivated meat in the UK

• Willingness to consume cell-cultivated meat has not changed within the past two years (2022-2024), but appears to have increased over longer time periods.

Perceived risks/concerns about cell-cultivated meat are more prevalent than perceived benefits

• Over half of people (59%) think cell-cultivated meat could offer benefits, particularly for animal welfare, the environment and global food availability. • However, more people (85%) have concerns about cell-cultivated meat, particularly about its safety, unnaturalness and impacts on farmers.

Peoples’ perceptions of the healthiness/nutritional value of cell-cultivated meat relative to conventional meat appear to be highly malleable

• People may be influenced by the type of information they receive about the product (e.g., emphasising benefits/concerns) and the type of products compared.

The terms ‘cell-cultivated’ or ‘cell-cultured’ best enable consumers to differentiate the product from conventional meat/seafood or plant-based products

• However, terminology alone is insufficient to effectively communicate allergen information to consumers.

People are generally unsure about whether regulation will prevent the sale of unsafe cell-cultivated meat, nevertheless, people expect these products to be regulated and clearly labelled

• People perceive FSA approval of the product to be moderately to very important, and as slightly more important than other on-label claims such as ‘slaughter-free’, ‘carbon-neutral’, ‘produced without antibiotics’, and ‘non-GMO.’ Although all of these claims are still seen as moderately to very important. • People do not have a strong opinion on whether cell-cultivated meat/seafood should be sold in the same section of the supermarket as conventional meat/seafood.

The Gierer-Meinhardt system characterizes the fundamental dynamics of pattern formation through the interaction of two variables. Currently, research on the spatiotemporal evolution of this system at home and abroad has been limited to Turing instability and patterns, and research on composite patterns formed by non-uniform cross-diffusion distributions is not yet in-depth. This article presents a composite pattern of the system based on linear, periodic, and radial distributions of cross diffusion. We conduct a comprehensive study of the two-dimensional spatiotemporal dynamics of the Gierer-Meinhardt model, treating the cross-diffusion coefficients as bifurcation parameters. Using multiscale analysis, the amplitude equation at the Turing threshold is derived. Subsequently, the effects of the proportional-derivative controller, fractional diffusion orders, and anisotropy on system stability, pattern formation, and evolution speed are systematically investigated. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the conclusions.

Published: February 2025

In the face of the prevailing challenges of limited water for irrigated agriculture, the knowledge of crop coefficients for use in irrigation, and the yield response to moisture stresses become pertinent for developing strategies to improve agricultural water productivity. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the crop coefficients and yield response factors of UC 82B tomato subjected to soil moisture stresses on growth-stage basis. The irrigation treatments investigated were: a full irrigation (application of 100% ETo), and three soil moisture deficit levels (20%, 40%, 60% ETo) imposed at the vegetative, flowering and maturity growth stages, in successions. The mean crop coefficient (Kc) was highest (0.99) during the mid-season under full irrigation, and lowest (0.47) during the vegetative stage under 60% ETo soil moisture deficit, while the mean value across the entire crop growth stage was 0.88. The yield response factors (Ky) were 1.26 and 1.30 for the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons, respectively. The mean Ky of was 1.28 for the entire growth cycle, implying high sensitivity of the tomato cultivar to water deficits, and that yield reduction is proportionally larger when water used is reduced because of stress. Full irrigation at the maturity stage is recommended.

In light of escalating global challenges, including climate change, population growth, and economic disparities, food security has emerged as a critical area of research. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of food security literature sourced from the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases, encompassing 506 valid publications. The findings reveal a notable upward trend in scholarly interest over the past decade, with a particular focus on themes such as climate change, sustainability, agricultural innovations, and the socio-economic dimensions of food systems. Significant contributions highlight the effectiveness of interdisciplinary approaches and regional research, especially in Southeast Asia, where Malaysian institutions have demonstrated notable leadership. Some important insights are the use of advanced modeling methods like hydrodynamic and socio-ecological frameworks, the integration of behavioral reasoning and generational cohort theories, and the wide use of farming methods that are resilient to climate change. The study also identifies highly cited works that address sustainable practices and policy implications, reflecting the multifaceted nature of the field. However, gaps remain in areas such as the impacts of microplastics, urban food deserts, and the role of blockchain technology in food systems. This research underscores the necessity for international collaboration and the adoption of multidisciplinary perspectives to advance sustainable solutions for food security. This bibliometric mapping serves as a strategic guide for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to address critical knowledge gaps and foster innovation in achieving global food security objectives.

Authors: Rashid Z.Z.A. , Singh J.S.N. , N.E Mustaffa
Published: February 2025

Construction projects are usually complex and dynamic, involving multiple parties, which results in frequent disputes among the involved parties. This study aims to evaluate the challenges of Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) implementation as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method within the Malaysian construction sector. This study is qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 industry experts, including contractors, clients, consultants, lawyers, and regulators. Four key challenges of DAB implementation were identified, which are legal challenges, procedural challenges, administrative challenges and socio-cultural challenges. Firstly, legal challenges primarily stem from the lack of robust frameworks and enforceability, while procedural issues highlight the absence of standardized protocols and contractual readiness. Administrative challenges include high operational costs and rigid institutional structures, whereas socio-cultural challenges and reliance on traditional methods further hinder DAB adoption. Despite these challenges. Moreover, this study also emphasizes the need for targeted reforms, such as legislative support, standardized procedures and increased stakeholder awareness in order to enhance DAB adoption. Future research should explore comparative analyses of ADR methods to provide holistic solutions for resolving construction disputes effectively.

The confrontation between Russia and the West is reflected in regions not directly involved in it. One of them is the Balkans. Using the metaphor of ranking power into players and figures, it is possible to identify the strategies of key and so far secondary external (national and supranational) actors in this historically active zone. The assessment of Russian prospects deserves special attention: it is obvious that Moscow will have to win back the decades of «oblivion» of the Balkan region through new projects, methods and technologies.

Polymorphisms of HSP70 genes are involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy
Authors: Svitalkova Tana , Ambroz Antonin , Svetla Marketa , Misunova Martina , Kolesar Libor , Novota Peter
Published: February 2025

Introduction

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of rare systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by muscle weakness, histopathological signs of inflammation in muscle tissues, elevated serum levels of muscle-associated enzymes, inflammatory mononuclear cells infiltrating muscle tissue and progressive symmetrical proximal muscle weakness. The current view is that they begin by immune activation in response to environmental factors in genetically predisposed people, but despite the number of investigations into the genetic background, the detailed etiopathogenesis remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between select polymorphisms located in the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and IIM. These genetic markers may take part in the onset of the autoimmune process, and their identification could aid in the diagnosis and classification of IIM subtypes.

Material and methods

One hundred and fifty-two adult patients suffering from IIM (82 dermatomyositis and 70 polymyositis) and 150 healthy controls were analyzed in this study. All were from the Czech Republic. SNPs of the HSP70 genes HSPA1A (rs1008438, rs1043618), HSPA1B (rs1061581, rs539689, pentanucleotide tandem duplication rs9281590) and HSPA1L (rs2227956) were analyzed in all patients and controls. For the detection of HLA polymorphisms, we used commercial kits from CareDx. Haplotypes were created using Arlequin 3.5.

Results

Our results confirm the association of IIM with the ancestral haplotype HLA-DRB1*03-DQB1*02. The most important MHC haplotype related to IIM and covering all polymorphisms was HLA-DQB1*02-DRB1*03:01-T-C-C-G-C-INS (p < 0.05, OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.15–3.13). This haplotype is associated with the risk of IIM development.

Conclusions

Our results show that polymorphism typing within the MHC might be a very strong tool for recognition of IIM.

Controversies Surrounding the Financialization of Enterprises
Authors: LACH Katarzyna
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the financialization of non-financial enterprises, a phenomenon where financial activities overshadow core operational functions. The research aims to analyze the causes, manifestations, and implications of financialization, focusing on the Polish context. The intent is to clarify inconsistencies in terminologies and perspectives in existing literature and evaluate the scope of financialization in Polish enterprises over 2006–2022.

While extensive research exists on financialization, ambiguities remain regarding its drivers, outcomes, and the interplay of these factors. Previous studies often present overlapping or conflicting interpretations, particularly concerning its causes, effects, and indicators. Moreover, the empirical exploration of financialization among Polish non-financial enterprises is limited, creating a critical gap that this study addresses.
PERCEPÇÃO ENTOMOLÓGICA DE GRADUANDAS E GRADUANDOS DO CURSO DE CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS DA UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL, BRASIL
Authors: Franco Jéssica Peres , Landa Beatriz dos Santos
Published: February 2025

O objetivo deste trabalho foi evidenciar e comparar o nível de percepção dos graduandos do curso de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS), das unidades universitárias de Dourados e Mundo Novo, em relação aos insetos. Os dados foram coletados por meio do preenchimento de um questionário online pelos estudantes durante os meses de abril e agosto de 2023. A hipótese testada foi a de que acadêmicos(as) de Ciências Biológicas Licenciatura e Bacharelado dos últimos semestres do curso teriam um maior índice de acertos e maior nível de conhecimento, já que esses estudantes já passaram por disciplinas onde o grupo dos insetos é estudado; além da evidenciação da hipótese da ambivalência entomoprojetiva de Costa Neto. Os discentes que participaram da pesquisa estão conscientes dos benefícios trazidos pelos insetos, sendo a importância ecológica o benefício mais citado. Portanto, apesar de alguns equívocos na classificação de alguns seres vivos como insetos, tendo como base a classificação lineana, o que escancara a importância de uma visão mais real e científica desses organismos, os(as) graduandos(as) participantes, em geral, se mostraram conscientes da importância desses organismos no ecossistema.

Published: February 2025

A Educação a Distância (EaD) tem desempenhado um papel central na democratização do ensino no Brasil, proporcionando maior acessibilidade à educação formal. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as políticas públicas voltadas para a EaD sob a perspectiva do ciclo de políticas de Stephen Ball, identificando desafios e avanços na sua implementação. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem qualitativa e bibliográfica, baseada na análise documental de legislações, planos educacionais e literatura acadêmica. O estudo foi conduzido em três etapas: levantamento bibliográfico e documental, análise dos documentos à luz do ciclo de políticas e discussão crítica dos resultados. Os resultados apontam que a EaD no Brasil foi impulsionada por políticas como a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação (LDB), o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE) e a Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), permitindo a interiorização do ensino superior. No entanto, desafios persistem, como a precarização do trabalho docente, a falta de regulamentação adequada e desigualdades no acesso a tecnologias digitais. Deste modo, a análise crítica revela que, enquanto a EaD tem sido promovida como ferramenta de democratização, sua implementação muitas vezes reflete interesses mercadológicos e estruturais que comprometem a qualidade do ensino. O ciclo de políticas de Ball permitiu compreender que as políticas para a EaD não seguem um modelo linear, mas são influenciadas por disputas políticas e econômicas. Conclui-se que, para fortalecer a EaD como modalidade inclusiva e de qualidade, é necessário aprimorar a regulamentação, garantir investimentos em infraestrutura e promover políticas que assegurem a equidade no acesso. O estudo contribui para o debate acadêmico ao destacar a importância de políticas públicas mais estruturadas e comprometidas com a qualidade da EaD no Brasil.

O artigo analisou o perfil epidemiológico do traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) no Brasil entre 2014 e 2023, utilizando dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS (SIH/SUS). A metodologia foi descritiva e quantitativa, baseada na análise de dados secundários sobre incidência, distribuição geográfica, perfil sociodemográfico, taxas de mortalidade e impacto econômico das internações por TCE. Os resultados mostraram alta prevalência de casos em homens jovens, com maior concentração nas regiões Sudeste e Nordeste. As taxas de mortalidade variaram ao longo do período, com picos em anos específicos, possivelmente relacionados a fatores externos como acidentes de trânsito e violência urbana. O impacto econômico das internações foi crescente, evidenciando a pressão sobre o sistema de saúde. Conclui-se que o TCE é um desafio significativo para a saúde pública, sendo necessário desenvolver políticas públicas eficazes para prevenção e manejo adequado da condição.

Abstract. African biomass-burning aerosol (BBA) in the southeast Atlantic Ocean (SEA) marine boundary layer (MBL) is an important contributor to Earth's radiation budget, yet its representation remains poorly constrained in regional and global climate models. Data from the Layered Atlantic Smoke Interactions with Clouds (LASIC) field campaign on Ascension Island (7.95° S, 14.36° W) provide insight into how burning conditions, fuel type, transport pathways, and atmospheric processing affect the chemical, microphysical, and optical properties of BBA between June and September 2017. A total of 10 individual plume events characterize the seasonal evolution of the BBA properties. Early-season inefficient fires, determined by low refractory black carbon to above-background carbon monoxide mixing ratios (rBC : ΔCO), led to enhanced concentrations of organic- and sulfate-rich aerosols. Mid-season efficient fires, determined by higher rBC : ΔCO values, led to rBC-enriched BBA. A mix of efficient and inefficient fires later in the season resulted in conflicting BBA properties. Prolonged transport (∼ 10 d) through the MBL and lower free troposphere (FT) facilitated chemical and aqueous-phase processing, which led to a reduction in organic aerosol mass concentrations. This resulted in lower organic aerosol (OA) to rBC (OA : rBC) mass ratios (2–5) in the MBL compared to higher values (5–15) in the nearby FT. These atmospheric and cloud oxidation processes yield more light-absorbing BBA and explain the notably low single-scattering albedo at 530 nm (SSA530) values (< 0.80) observed in the MBL. This study establishes a robust correlation between SSA530 and OA : rBC across the MBL and FT, underscoring the dependency of optical properties on chemical composition.
