Published: February 2025

The image attributes of a tourist destination are the elements that make up the perception that visitors have about a place. Segmenting by image attributes is establishing subgroups of tourists, differentiating them by the way they perceive the image of the destination. The present study in a marine protected area aimed to (i) identify image attributes, (ii) establish segments based on image attributes, (iii) determine the relationship between image segments, satisfaction, and behavioral loyalty, and (iv) ascertain the socio-demographic characteristics of image segments in insular marine protected areas. This study was conducted in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador, a marine protected Pacific Ocean area declared a World Heritage Site. A total of 407 surveys were collected in situ. The data were interpreted using factor analysis techniques and non-hierarchical K-means cluster analysis. The results show four image attributes in marine protected areas: Staff Attention, Tourist Facilities, Nature and People, and Cultural Attractions. Likewise, three segments based on image attributes were identified: the Passive segment, with low scores overall; Nature, with high scores only in attributes related to nature; and the Want It All segment, with high scores in all image attributes. Among these groups, the Want it All segment demonstrates the highest satisfaction and loyalty levels. The results will serve as management guidelines for marine protected area administrators and contribute to academic literature.

Authors: Zhang Hongyuan , Liu Chang , Zhao Shuming
Published: February 2025

Work–family relationships play a crucial role in employee performance and organizational sustainability. This study explores the mechanisms and boundary conditions of how work–family facilitation (WFF) influences employee proactive behavior (PB) by constructing a theoretical model that incorporates psychological capital (PC) as a mediator and high-commitment work systems (HCWS) as a moderator. Based on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and Social Exchange Theory, data were collected from 126 enterprises in Nanjing, Hefei, Nantong, and Lianyungang through stratified sampling, and the analysis was conducted using SPSS, MPLUS and HLM software. Cross-level regression analysis and path analysis revealed that WFF positively impacts PB, with PC mediating this relationship. Furthermore, HCWS significantly moderates the effect of PC on PB. The findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive work–family balance, enhancing employees’ psychological capital, and implementing HCWS to encourage proactive behaviors and drive organizational sustainability. This study offers theoretical insights and practical recommendations for optimizing human resource management practices to unlock employee potential and enhance organizational innovation and competitiveness.

Published: February 2025

Owing to global warming and changing environmental factors, the world has been experiencing negative and major changes. Society is showing a strong reaction to these environmental problems through marches, protests, and political initiatives, which also demonstrate the need for a new understanding of leadership. In this respect, green transformational leadership emerges as a potential solution. The current study aims to determine the mediating role of green innovation and environmental performance in the effect of green transformational leadership on sustainable competitive advantage. With this aim, a model was formed by utilizing the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV) theory. To test the model, data were collected through a survey answered by 412 people working in SMEs in Istanbul and analyzed via the Smart-PLS program. The results indicate that green innovation had a moderate mediating role, and environmental performance had a low mediating role in the effect of green transformational leadership on sustainable competitive advantage. In light of these results, the sustainable competitive advantage predicted by the NRBV theory was found to have been achieved.
Organic Camelina Meal as a Replacement for Soybean Meal in Swine Finishing Diets: A Life Cycle Analysis Perspective
Authors: Tallaksen Joel , Johnston Lee , Gesch Russ , Forcella Frank , Li Yuzhi
Published: February 2025

The production of organic meat and dairy products relies on limited organic protein meal supplies. Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) may sustainably increase organic protein meal supplies. Using grain production trial data, research literature, and camelina feeding trial results, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fossil energy impacts were modeled for inclusion of 10% camelina meal in swine finishing diets using life cycle analysis (LCA). Two key grain production scenarios were examined: field trial relay (FTR) camelina and a higher yielding as expected relay (AER) camelina, with a baseline monocrop soybean (MCS). At the grain production stage, the FTR, AER, and MCS scenarios emitted 0.65, 0.43, and 0.13 kg of CO2 eq./kg DM grain harvested, respectively. At the meal production stage, 0.61, 0.40, and 0.15 kg of CO2 eq. were emitted per kg of protein meal from the FTR, AER, and MCS scenarios, respectively. GHG emissions from the finishing phase of pork production were 1.43, 1.38, and 1.31 kg CO2 eq./kg live weight pigs produced for the FTR, AER, and MCS scenarios, respectively. Findings were similar for fossil energy use. The higher environmental burdens from camelina grain production due to reduced yields of both camelina and soybean resulted in negative environmental performance in camelina-amended diets.

Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of influenza vaccination on mortality using real-world data and compared the effect of current-season-only vaccination versus continuous two-season vaccination. Methods: The 2017–2019 data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, included 880,119 individuals aged ≥65 years. The participants were divided into vaccinated and unvaccinated groups and matched using propensity scores with a 1:4 nearest-neighbor approach. Vaccinated individuals were further divided into current-season-only and continuous two-season vaccination groups, matched 1:1. Cox’s multivariable proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the effect of vaccination on all-cause mortality, with Firth’s penalized likelihood method applied to correct for a few events. The Fine–Gray competing risk models were used to assess the effect of vaccination on cardio-cerebral vascular disease (CCVD) mortality. Sensitivity analyses, including caliper matching, a nested case–control design, and Poisson’s regression, were performed to test the robustness of the results. Results: Influenza vaccination reduced all-cause mortality by 39% (HR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.47–0.80) and 55% (HR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.33–0.60) in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019, respectively. Current-season-only vaccination showed stronger protective effects than continuous two-season vaccination (HR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.31–0.99). Influenza vaccination reduced CCVD mortality by 46% (HR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.34–0.84) in 2018–2019. The results were consistent across the sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: Influenza vaccination was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and CCVD mortality in older adults, underscoring the importance of routine influenza vaccination in older populations. Stronger effects were observed for current-season-only vaccination, warranting further research to confirm the association and explore mechanisms.

Published: February 2025

Background/Objectives: The rapid evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to the emergence of variants with enhanced transmissibility and immune evasion, challenging existing vaccines. This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of inactivated bivalent vaccine formulations incorporating the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain (ERAGEM) with either Delta or Omicron (BA.5) variants. Methods: Bivalent vaccine formulations were prepared using beta-propiolactone-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 antigens and administered to K18-hACE2 transgenic mice. Following prime and booster immunizations, neutralizing antibody titers and viral loads were assessed through ELISA, microneutralization assays, and quantitative PCR. Mice were challenged with the respective variants, and the survival rates, temperature, and body weight changes were monitored for 21 days. Results: Both vaccine formulations elicited significant increases in neutralizing antibody titers post-booster immunization. The ERAGEM + Delta group demonstrated geometric mean titers (GMTs) of 6938.1 and 4935.0 for the ancestral and Delta variants, respectively, while the ERAGEM + Omicron (BA.5) group achieved GMTs of 16,280.7 and 24,215.9 for the ancestral and Omicron (BA.5) variants. Complete survival (100%) was observed in all the vaccinated groups post-challenge, with no detectable viral titers in the lungs and substantial reductions in the nasal turbinate viral loads compared to the unvaccinated controls. Conclusions: The bivalent inactivated vaccines demonstrated strong immunogenicity and complete protection against severe disease in preclinical models. These findings indicate the potential of bivalent vaccine strategies in addressing antigenic diversity and preparing for future pandemics caused by rapidly evolving pathogens.

Published: February 2025

The Yangtze River Economic Belt in China, a major economic and ecological region, faces critical challenges in the sustainable management of dredged sand, exacerbated by illegal sand mining practices. This study advances the understanding of integrated management models for dredged sand utilization by systematically analyzing six pilot projects through field investigations and theoretical methods. It identifies three novel management models: the traditional government-led model, the integrated “operation + concession” model, and the separated “operation + concession” model. These models provide structured approaches to enhance stakeholder collaboration, streamline resource distribution, and standardize regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, this study underscores the necessity of tailored strategies to align with local conditions, enabling sustainable and resource-efficient practices. By addressing critical gaps in prior research and proposing an actionable framework, this research offers valuable insights for global efforts to mitigate the sand scarcity crisis through innovative sand management.

Published: February 2025

Climate change is impacting hydrological conditions in the Dulongjiang-Irrawaddy River basin. This study employs a CV-LSTM model to evaluate the hydrological responses of precipitation, temperature, and runoff under various climate change scenarios. The findings indicate the following: (1) The CV-LSTM model performed excellently in simulating hydrological processes at the Pyay station. (2) From 2025 to 2100, precipitation in the Dulongjiang-Irrawaddy River basin is projected to increase, becoming more concentrated during the rainy season, with a more uneven annual distribution compared to the baseline period (1996–2010). The average temperature is also expected to rise, with an increase of 1.57 °C under the SSP245 scenario and 2.26 °C under the SSP585 scenario compared to the baseline period (1996–2010). (3) Multi-year average flow projections from three GCM models indicate changes of −1.1% to 20.6% under SSP245 and 7.8% to 31.5% under SSP585, relative to the baseline period (1996–2010). (4) Runoff will become more concentrated during the flood season, with greater annual variability, increasing the risks of flooding and drought.

Published: February 2025

Estuarine areas have experienced varying levels of pollution globally due to increased industrial and social development. Water diversion projects can mitigate water pollution in estuaries, but it is necessary to consider freshwater runoff and tidal variations and their effects on water resource scheduling in the tidal reaches. In this study, a multi-objective optimal scheduling model of a tidal-sluice pump based on this flexible freshwater reservoir was established with the aim of mean water level of diversion port, water diversion quantity, and ecological flow. The tidal reach was generalized as a flexible freshwater reservoir, and a hydrodynamic model was used to construct the water level and discharge capacity curves. The advantage of this model is that it transforms complex multidimensional hydrodynamic problems into hydrological problems for water resource scheduling and reduces the complexity of model coupling. In the decision-making application example of the Hanjiang–Rongjiang–Lianjiang Water Transfer Project, the model’s average annual diversions under typical rich, average, and low-flow day schemes all satisfied the minimum diversion requirement of 5.50 × 108 m3. In addition, the average ecological discharge flows all met the ecological discharge requirements of 112 m3/s for the Rongjiang River, and electricity costs were reduced by at least 6.8568 million CNY. This model simplifies the calculation process, improves scheduling efficiency, and maximizes the benefits of the project, providing a new approach for solving water resource scheduling problems in tidal reaches.

Published: February 2025

Climate-sensitive ice-covered reservoirs are critical components of methane (CH4) release. To reveal the spatial characteristics of CH4 concentrations, diffusive fluxes and bubble fluxes during the ice-covered and ice-free periods in northern reservoirs, and in order to clarify the critical influences on their variations. We selected Dongfeng Reservoir, a large reservoir in Northeast China, and conducted six field investigations of CH4 concentrations and emissions in deep and shallow waters during the ice-covered (January 2022 and January 2023) and ice-free (July 2022, October 2022, March 2023, and September 2023) periods. The results showed that spatially, surface CH4 concentration and diffusive flux were significantly higher in shallow water than those in deep water. CH4 bubble flux had the largest range of variation in shallow water, while there was no obvious spatial difference in the proportion of CH4 in bubbles. Temporally, surface CH4 concentration, diffusive flux, bubble flux, and the proportion of CH4 in bubbles were generally high in summer and low in autumn. The surface CH4 concentration had the largest range of variation in winter, and the CH4 concentration under the ice was significantly higher in shallow water than those in deep water. Water depth determines the release of CH4 bubbles from sediments and is the basis for determining deep and shallow water based on bubbles. Ice cover leads to significant differences in CH4 production and transport compared with ice-free periods by indirectly changing the water environment and directly altering the CH4 release. CH4 accumulated under the ice and in the ice will greatly increase the CH4 release potential during the spring ice-melt period. Overall, this study improves the understanding of CH4 emissions from reservoirs characterized by ice-covered periods and provides theoretical basis for comprehensive estimation of CH4 emissions from reservoirs.

Published: February 2025

Carbon source limitation is a critical factor restricting the treatment efficiency of domestic wastewater by algae–bacteria consortia. Using agricultural waste as an external carbon source to enhance purification performance holds significant potential. This study investigated the effects of peanut shell powder (PSP) on wastewater treatment in algae–bacteria consortia. The results demonstrated that the optimal PSP dosage (2 mg/L) improved the removal efficiencies of TN, TP, and COD by 29.6%, 40.9%, and 18.7%, respectively. In contrast, excessive PSP reduced the removal performance. The primary mechanism by which PSP influenced the algae–bacteria consortia involved changes in microbial biomass and community structure. An optimal PSP dosage promoted the proliferation of the dominant algal species, Chlorella, enhanced photosynthetic activity, and increased the relative abundance of Rhodanobacter, known for its effective degradation of benzene compounds. Conversely, excessive PSP caused microbial cell rupture, inhibited Chlorella growth and photosynthesis, and elevated the abundance of Microcystis and Brevundimonas, which pose significant health risks. In conclusion, PSP can improve effluent quality and safety in algae–bacteria consortia, which represents a green, economical pathway for optimizing wastewater treatment processes.
FRIEDRICH NITZSCHE ABOUT “FREE MINDS”
Authors: Meshkov V.
Published: February 2025

One of the main achievements of Nietzsche’s philosophy was the doctrine on creative, highly spiritual personalities – “free spirits”. In contrast to such subjects as “will to power”, “eternal return” developed by the German philosopher in the last years of his philosophical activity, the subject of “free spirits” was comprehensive for him. He started his philosophical life with the book of “The Birth of Tragedy” (“cognizing minds”). Later Nietzsche positioned himself as an immoralist, oppositionist of Plato’s metaphysical philosophy. However, on the issue of true philosophers, their views complement one another. If Plato in the “State” dialogue created a mental construct of exemplary transcendental person, whom he called as a “true philosopher”, then Nietzsche substantially deepened and expanded ideas about it, revealing the complex and contradictory nature of “free spirits”. If Plato developed mostly reasonable and virtuous nature of “transcendental person”, then Nietzsche studied mainly emergence, development and life “free spirits” as creators of new values. “Free spirits” always have to prove their right to exist. Unlike “bound spirits”, they should strive to free themselves from petty relations and relationships in everyday life. In the shape of Zoroaster F. Nietzsche created almost ascetic image of a “free spirit” that “baked by the sun” in the desert, “hungry, strong and lonely” “breaks his heart”. Surviving the “great divide” is a universal law for all “free spirits” discovered by Nietzsche. He embedded the moment of the “birth” of the “free spirit”, initial impulse, which will predetermine his further life path to a great extent. Spiritual loneliness and independence is an indispensable condition for “free spirit” life. The last phase in “free spirit” formation is the realization of its fate as a lonely wanderer, destined and doomed to create new truths, values and ideas. Western European civilization history shows that “free spirits” (philosophers, scientists, writers and poets, artists and composers, etc.) were the motive power of cultural and historical process. They were the bearers and creators of highest achievements of the European Spirit of godlikeness. At present time, domination of commercialism prevents the cultivation and active creative activity of highly spiritual works of creators, and mental space of the Western European civilization is increasingly simplified and degraded.
PRODUCERS OF ESCAPISM IN THE SPACE OF MASS CULTURE
Authors: Novohatko A.
Published: February 2025

Mass culture is regarded as space of realization of different forms of escapism, which is understood as the result of human desire to get liberated from the routines of everyday life. Escapism, which has existed in different epochs and in different cultures, has become wide spread today. The reasons are, on the one hand, the extension of the realm of everyday life, demythologization of culture, on the other – great technological opportunities, which allow the escapist to construct his own fantastic worlds with the help of new technologies. In mass culture the escapist gets a lot of opportunities to implement his fantasies, which may have different and contradictory consequences for real life. Such forms of escapism have been examined as fantasies embodied in different literary genres and screen forms, mass tourism, creating attractive images of «Orient», and virtual reality as the most important space for creating «other-worldliness». Mass culture, with its cult of game and entertainment, creates rich possibilities for different forms of escapism. Popular literature allows the reader to get immersed in the romantic world of love or a fantastic fairy tale. Screen arts, from cinema to computer art, make this immersion still deeper and more exciting, and virtual reality, which has embraced the whole world with the advent of computer era, drags in both children and adults, creating new worlds, where people choose their identity by themselves, construct their surroundings. Cultural industry creates new forms of entertainment and games with its commercial profit in view, but for an individual a quest for «other worlds» may turn into a dramatic break with reality.
ETHICAL SENSES OF ST. GEORGIY (KONYS’KYJ’S) DRAMA “RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD PEOPLE”
Authors: Carenok A.
Published: February 2025

The drama “Ressurection of the dead people”, written by the famous Orthodox hierarch saint Georgiy (Konys’kyj), presents the well-known monument of the old Ukrainian didactic literature. Even nowadays its impressive religious and ethical basis demands attention, popularization and further exploration.The aim of the article is pointing out the central moral and theological ideas of this work and making analysis of them.Georgiy (Konys’kyj’s) drama is connected with the biblical texts (with the evangelic parables of the Wheat and the Tares, of the Sower and of the Rich Man and Lazarus, in particular). This connection is regular and strong enough. At the same time, the author uses some corresponding ethical senses, elements of subject line and images more or less creatively. As a result, his literary work can be interpreted as a perceptibly original one.As well as the Holy Writ and the Sacred Tradition of Church, the drama “Resurrection of the dead people” underlines the value of the different Christian virtues. Among them we find the diligence, the mercy, the making of peace, the gratefulness, the relying upon God’s Providence, the patience, the humility, the understanding of the eternal values priority, etc. Being a preacher of virtues, Ukrainian dramatist preaches down the numerous vices and sins. According to his ethical position, our struggle against the evil should be as righteous and legal as it possible.In spite of some loss of conformity to the moral theology in one episode, on the whole the drama by Georgiy (Konys’kyj) must be regarded as a successful artistic embodiment of the important ideas of the Christian ethics.
HUMAN DIGNITY: CHRISTIAN AND LOCAL ASPECTS
Authors: Kostenko M.
Published: February 2025

The article identifies the features of ideas about human dignity in secular and Christian aspects. Having studied various groups of scientific sources (from Christian books, opinions of classics on human dignity, secular documents to the works of modern Ukrainian philosophers), the concept of «dignity» according to biblical anthropology is analyzed, the realization of human dignity in the Old Testament and New Testament. It is proved that the concept of a dignified human life is embodied in two types: secular and Christian as ideals of social and spiritual activity. Religion does not insist on the idea of the highest social value of the individual, because man is declared dependent on the will of Almighty God, but his principle of equality of all people before God is a kind of assertion of human dignity. The secular understanding of human dignity is based on the fact that man did not come out of nature as a creation of God, but created himself as a subject of labor, as a thinking and moral being.Despite the differences, and sometimes contradictions in the understanding of the essential manifestations of human dignity between secular and Christian contexts, it is obvious for both aspects to understand that the leading place should be occupied by the side of the individual, which manifests itself in her own consciousness and her desire for free self-determination and creativity as a prerequisite for asserting her own dignity.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to design and build a sports membership data processing management application at the Serang City Futsal Association. The current problem is often the difficulty in recording and managing all memberships from clubs, management, athletes, referees and coaches. This is because so far the data has been recorded in separate documents, and the weakness of this method is the absence of good data management to process each data so that it is difficult to track when needed. Ineffective and outdated data management without the help of a data management application can cause errors and delays in information processing. Then the limited Access to Information becomes a serious obstacle so that the association and also the youth and sports service have difficulty in accessing and analyzing data on the development of clubs, athletes, coaches and referees in real-time, which hinders the evaluation and improvement of sports programs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system with information technology, the system development process in this study is with a waterfall model approach. While in the design process here the author will use UML in describing the smoothness of the system to be built. The system to be built will use MySQL as a system management database, while as a tool to design user interface designs and programs in making applications with Microsoft Visual Studio. This research is expected to help the Serang City Futsal Association to be able to manage management and athlete data from each club, referees and coaches so that it can help facilitate tracking of the data when needed, and become useful information for players and lovers of achievement sports in the futsal branch.

Authors: Eremeeva A. , Klets V. , Lachina E.
Published: February 2025

The article presents a systematic approach to the formation of multifunctional complexes in the structure of the new district of the Arctic city. Kirovsk, which is an actively developing tourist city with a characteristic building of the historical center, is chosen as an example. A promising site for the further development of Kirovsk is the territory of the former factory ANOF-1, located on the shore of Lake Bolshoy Woodyavr. As a result of the conducted historical, cultural and spatial planning analysis of the center of Kirovsk, the main directions of urban development of the territory, its functional program focused on the development of tourism on the one hand, and the formation of a comfortable area for residents of Kirovsk on the other hand, were determined.

When investing, an investor will strive to maximize the expected return of investment and minimize risk. In stock portfolio investments, investors need the right strategy to determine the proportion of each stock in such a way that the resulting portfolio is an optimum portfolio. This research applies the Mean Variance Efficient Portfolio (MVEP) method as a portfolio optimization method for stocks in the Mining sector, Technology and Communication sector, and Consumer Goods sector indexed by LQ45. The stocks used as simulation data are GOTO, EXCL, ANTM, ITMG, and INDF. This study aims to find the optimum portfolio from a combination of several stocks by applying the MVEP method and calculating its risk level. The research results indicate that an optimum portfolio will be formed if the proportion for each stock is 1.94% for GOTO, 25.17% for EXCL, 2.39% for ANTM, 43.19% for ITMG, and 27.31% for INDF. With those proportions, the expected portfolio return is 0.0074% and the risk is 8.69%. The result is expected to serve as a basis for decision-making for investors when investing.

Published: February 2025

Актуальність дослідження. Психологічний імунітет – здатність індивіда зберігати та відновлювати своє психічне здоров’я шляхом використання психологічних знань. Психологічний імунітет є найважливішим фактором формування не тільки здоров'я, а й зрілої особистості.

Вибірка склала 150 осіб, рівномірно представлених за критерієм перебігу захворювання: 1 група - не хворіли на COVID, 2 група - страждали на легку форму COVID, 3 - страждали на важку форму COVID . Окрім стандартизованої нами методики дослідження психологічного імунітету (Хомуленко, Кислова), ми також діагностували показники за шкалою самоефективності Р. Шварцера та М. Єрусалімської, за шкалою «NPU – PROGNOSZ», методикою вивчення самоконтролю Тагні.

Результати. Встановлено низку позитивних (низьких) кореляцій між психологічним імунітетом та нейропсихологічною стійкістю для осіб із різним досвідом захворювання під час початку пандемії COVID-19. Встановлено низку позитивних зв’язків (високих) між самоконтролем та психологічним імунітетом, за винятком показника синхронності, на основі вибірки суб’єктів із різним досвідом захворювання під час пандемії COVID-19. У загальній вибірці суб’єктів із різним досвідом захворювання під час пандемії COVID-19 встановлено низку позитивних (високих) зв’язків між самоефективністю та корелятами психологічного імунітету, за винятком показника синхронності та імпульсивного самоконтролю. На основі вибірки суб’єктів із різним досвідом захворювання під час пандемії COVID-19 встановлено низку позитивних зв’язків (вищих) між диспозиційним оптимізмом та психологічним імунітетом, крім показника синхронності та імпульсивного самоконтролю. Було встановлено низку позитивних (слабких) зв’язків між позитивною переоцінкою (когнітивною стратегією подолання) та показниками психологічного імунітету для загальної вибірки суб’єктів із різним досвідом захворювання під час пандемії COVID-19, а також три позитивні (високі) зв’язки, які вимагають розгляду.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara filosofis penyebab kerusakan lingkungan dengan menggunakan kacamata teori kritis Jürgen Habermas dan hubungan kolonisasi lifeworld oleh sistem dengan transformasi ekonomi politik yang berdampak pada kerusakan lingkungan di Kabupaten Bima. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan filosofis dan normatif-empiris. Temuan kami menunjukkan bahwa, kerusakan lingkungan disebabkan upaya pemerintah meningkatkan produksi pertanian, khususnya jagung. Program PUAP, PNPM, UPSUS, GRATIEKS mendorong perluasan lahan, mengakibatkan perambahan hutan. Peraturan Pemerintah  Nomor 23 Tahun 2021 Tentang Penyelenggaraan Kehutanan dan Peraturan Menteri Nomor 8 Tahun 2021 tentang Perizinan Berusaha Pengelolaan Hutan (PBPH) dibuat untuk memberikan batasan terhadap pemanfaatan hutan, namun secara paradoksal memungkinkan perambahan hutan untuk proyek strategis Nasional dan pemulihan ekonomi. Akhirnya, kami menemukan korespondensi yang kuat antara Teori Habermas, di mana sistem kapitalistik-libertarian telah mengkolonisasi dunia kehidupan (lifeworld) masyarakat Kabupaten Bima untuk merambah hutan dan menyebabkan kerusakan lingkungan.
