Climate Change as an Existential Threat: Translating Global Goals into Action
Authors: Popovski Vesselin
Published: June 2024

Climate change is the greatest existential challenge for the humanity and this makes the implementation of the SDG 13 ‘Climate Action’ and Paris Agreement on Climate Change crucial for our survival. This article begins by elaborating the concept of implementation of international law, makes a comparison between the legal character of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the SDGs. It argues that the Paris Agreement creates the necessary legal framework, transparency, technology transfer, accountability, capacity building, financing and other mechanisms to implement SDG 13. However, the lack of political will and ignorance by some governments has led to a lack of progress, which may jeopardize not only Climate Action, but other SDGs too. The article ends with the argument that UN member-states should undertake urgent action to mitigate climate change, adapt to its negative consequences and co-operate towards an effective global climate governance, and for that matter it would be helpful, if climate action is formulated as a new and separate purpose in the UN Charter.

Authors: Macrory Richard
Published: June 2024

The British Office for Environmental Protection was established in 2021 following the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union. It is the most recent of just a handful of independent environmental watchdog bodies established in global jurisdictions to date, and has a broad range of powers. These include the evaluation of government policy, advice to government on new environmental law, reviewing the implementation of environmental law, and enforcement powers against government and other public bodies for breaches of environmental duties. The need for such bodies in the environmental field is important, and the Office for Environmental Protection may provide a useful model for other countries.

Authors: Liang Xiao , Wang Yangyang , Li Siyu , Fan Jianing , Zhou Fanlin , Li Xiaoju , Li Shijie , Li Yu
Published: June 2024

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction exists in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain, and damaged mitochondria need to be removed by mitophagy. Small GTPase Rab7 regulates the fusion of mitochondria and lysosome, while TBC1D5 inhibits Rab7 activation. However, it is not clear whether the regulation of Rab7 activity by TBC1D5 can improve mitophagy and inhibit AD progression. Objective: To investigate the role of TBC1D5 in mitophagy and its regulatory mechanism for Rab7, and whether activation of mitophagy can inhibit the progression of AD. Methods: Mitophagy was determined by western blot and immunofluorescence. The morphology and quantity of mitochondria were tracked by TEM. pCMV-Mito-AT1.03 was employed to detect the cellular ATP. Amyloid-β secreted by AD cells was detected by ELISA. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to investigate the binding partner of the target protein. Golgi-cox staining was applied to observe neuronal morphology of mice. The Morris water maze test and Y-maze were performed to assess spatial learning and memory, and the open field test was measured to evaluate motor function and anxiety-like phenotype of experimental animals. Results: Mitochondrial morphology was impaired in AD models, and TBC1D5 was highly expressed. Knocking down TBC1D5 increased the expression of active Rab7, promoted the fusion of lysosome and autophagosome, thus improving mitophagy, and improved the morphology of hippocampal neurons and the impaired behavior in AD mice. Conclusions: Knocking down TBC1D5 increased Rab7 activity and promoted the fusion of autophagosome and lysosome. Our study provided insights into the mechanisms that bring new possibilities for AD therapy targeting mitophagy.

Published: June 2024

Background: The association between carotid plaque and cognitive decline has recently been reported. However, the current research evidence is insufficient, and the possible causes of cognitive changes are unknown. Objective: This study aims to explore the relationships between carotid plaque and cognition functions, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers in cognitively intact adults, and try to study the underlying mechanisms. Methods: We enrolled 165 cognitively normal participants from the Chinese Alzheimer’s Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) study, who had CSF AD biomarker measurements and carotid ultrasound. Linear modeling was used to assess the association of carotid plaque with CSF biomarkers and cognition. Additionally, mediation analysis was conducted through 10,000 bootstrapped iterations to explore potential links between carotid plaque, AD pathology, and cognition. Results: We found that carotid plaque exhibited significant correlations with Aβ42 (β = –1.173, p = 0.022), Aβ42/Aβ40 (β = –0.092, p < 0.001), P-tau/Aβ42 (β = 0.110, p = 0.045), and T-tau/Aβ42 (β = 0.451, p = 0.010). A significant correlation between carotid plaque and cognition decline was also found in men (β = –0.129, p = 0.021), and mediation analyses revealed that the effect of carotid plaque on cognitive function could be mediated by Aβ42/Aβ40 (proportion of mediation = 55.8%), P-tau/Aβ42 (proportion of mediation = 51.6%, p = 0.015) and T-tau/Aβ42 (proportion of mediation = 43.8%, p = 0.015) mediated. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the link between carotid plaque and CSF AD biomarkers in cognitively intact adults, and the important role that AD pathology may play in the correlation between carotid plaque and cognitive changes.

Authors: Yang Guangxin , Pan Jiabao , Wang Daoming
Published: June 2024

Magnetorheological materials refer to field-response smart materials whose properties are controllable with a magnetic field, including fluid, grease, elastomer, and gel. The unique magnetorheological effect exhibited by these smart materials is a physical phenomenon where physics and engineering intersect and has extensive application prospects in modern machinery. In electro-mechanical systems, magnetorheological materials offer a superior design method for mechanical devices used in the fields of transmission, damping, and braking. It is important to control the magnetorheological materials for advancing the design philosophy of modern electro-mechanical devices. Hence, this paper presents a recent progressive review on the fundamentals of magnetorheological materials and numerous applications. Firstly, an introduction to the magnetorheological effect and different types of magnetorheological materials are presented in this review. Then, the individual and coupled effects of sedimentation, temperature, and magnetic field on magnetorheological materials are discussed. Finally, magnetorheological materials-based devices have been extensively reviewed, including actuator, clutch, damper, brake, pump, valve, and robot, thus aiming to provide useful information for facilitating the design of complex electro-mechanical systems.
An effective approach for reducing data redundancy in multi-agent system communication
Authors: Qasim Awais , Ghouri Arslan , Munawar Adeel
Published: June 2024

The redundancy of the data is an active research topic. While an agent works in a multi-agent system, the number of messages between them increases. This is due to the fact that the functionalities data depends on other agents in terms of functional requirements. Typically, only one agent in a multi-agent system is responsible for accessing a database instead of replicating the database on each agent. A database is stored on multiple agents rather than a single agent to avoid a single point of failure. In this approach, the system has a higher load because one agent is responsible for all agent queries and must send duplicate messages to multiple agents, resulting in redundant data. In this research, we present Multi-Agent System for Commodity Data (MASCD) framework, the multi-agent system based communication using the distributed hash system, to reduce data redundancy in multi-agent system communication. Our anticipated method demonstrated how we divided the database names and efficiently distributed data to each agent. The database splitting is based on manufacturer names or product names. We utilize a table based on prime numbers. Through the hash function, we ascertain the index of the agent granted access to the relevant data. Each agent is accountable for its data. We use a Distributed Hash Table for efficient querying that stores data as key-value pairs. Each agent maintains a Finger Table containing the next and previous nodes for agent communication purposes. Using FIPA messages, we demonstrated how an agent could interact optimally. In conclusion, we illustrate the application of the proposed approach through a case study of mobile phones and university information systems.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of diaphragmatic breathing training with visual feedback on diaphragm movement and lung function in healthy women.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with the participation of 20 healthy college-aged women without any underlying physical conditions. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups: the intervention group that received diaphragmatic breathing training with visual feedback and the control group that underwent sham training without visual feedback. Diaphragmatics movement were assessed through respiratory motion analysis, and lung function was measured using spirometry before and after the training period. Data analysis included a paired t-test to compare within-group differences and an independent t-test to compare the effects between the two groups.
Results: In both groups, diaphragmatic movement significantly increased after the intervention (p<.05). In addition, the intervention group that received visual feedback exhibited significant improvements in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and diaphragm movement (p<.05). However, the control group without visual feedback demonstrated only a significant increase in diaphragm movement (p<.05). Furthermore, the intervention group showed a significantly greater increase in FVC than the control group.
Conclusion: This study reveals that incorporating visual feedback into diaphragmatic breathing training can effectively enhance diaphragmatic movement and improve lung function in healthy women. These findings suggest the potential benefits of visual feedback in optimizing the benefits of diaphragmatic breathing exercises. These results have implications for respiratory rehabilitation, stress reduction, and overall well-being in the general population. More studies are recommended to explore the long-term effects of diaphragmatic breathing training with visual feedback and its application in clinical populations with respiratory disorders.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: Habitual abnormal postures, such as forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and decreased lumbar lordosis, can adversely affect respiratory function by limiting thoracic rib cage expansion and lung capacity. This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of a single session of Mckenzie exercises on respiratory function and respiratory muscle.
Methods: Eighteen young adults (mean age, 24.22 ± 2.415), including 4 men and 14 women, participated in the study. Spirometry tests were conducted before and after the single exercise session, which consisted of two types of Mckenzie exercises performed in 20 repetitions each. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured to evaluate respiratory function, and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured to assess respiratory muscle strength. Paired-sample t-tests were employed to analyze the significance of respiratory measurements pre- and post-Mckenzie exercises, with a significance level set at 0.05.
Results: A significant increase in MIP was found after Mckenzie exercises (p=.012), indicating improved inspiratory muscle strength. However, no significant changes were observed in FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF, and MEP.
Conclusion: Mckenzie exercises, designed to stretch respiratory muscles and correct thoracic rib cage alignment through spinal extension, demonstrated an immediate positive effect on MIP. Therefore, Mckenzie exercises could be considered a valuable chest expansion exercise in respiratory rehabilitation programs. More studies are warranted to explore the potential long-term effects of Mckenzie exercises on respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength.
THE VIEW FROM THE EAST ON THE PROBLEM FIELD OF WESTERN LITERARY AND THEORETICAL STU
Authors:   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Mashchenko Olena A.
Published: June 2024

The study aims to determine the status of modern theoretical literary debate within the context of scientific theorizing in China and Japan. Growing understanding of the crisis of Euro-Atlantic literary-theoretical thought in the first two decades of the 21st century took shape in the publication of works by venerable specialists in the field of literary studies devoted to the causes of its occurrence and the taxonomy of directions and theoretical tools to overcome it. What unites this whole corpus of extensive research is an indirect or direct recognition of the decline of productive literary theoretical research, which came after the literary theoretical breakthrough of the late 60s of the 20th century. At the same time, the refusal to recognize Western literature as a model, artistic and aesthetic norm caused the emergence of powerful voices of authors whose writings are not directly shaped by the Western literary canon. Simultaneously, the refusal to recognize Western literature as a model, artistic and aesthetic norm caused the emergence of powerful voices of writers whose work is not directly shaped by the Western literary canon. The polemic started with the postcolonial discourse regarding the epistemological perspectives of Western literary theory in a situation of clash with a non-Western literary text, which, at the turn of the 21st century, developed into a reflection of its ontological potential. Both intellectuals and artists of the age of Multiculturalism, who relied on the Poststructuralist “breakthrough to the transcendental” on the one hand and on the philosophical nature as well as poetics and aesthetics of art of the East on the other, demonstrated that a complex of issues related to the future existence of literary theory risen by the literature itself, is much more sophisticated. First of all, these processes are caused by the early formation of new future horizons of world literature, in which artists with Eastern artistic and aesthetic background and knowledge play a major role. Following the mastering of the Western literary and aesthetic canon – rather a long period when the writings of these authors were derived from the general paradigm of Western literature – the formation of a new literature takes place, protesting Bhabha’s idea of mimicry as a way of survival and adaptation of the colonized and demonstrating the non-Western canon as its artistic source. The era of posttheory should testify that the rumours of the “death of the theory” may be greatly exaggerated in case the overcoming crisis of theory, which is based on literary knowledge originating from the East.

Biometrics is the automated process used to recognize human by measuring their behavioural and physiological characteristics. Biometrics are generally used either for verification The use of biometric for identification purposes requires that a particular biometric factor be unique for each individual that it can be calculated, and that it is invariant over time. Biometrics such as signatures, photographs, fingerprints, voiceprints and retinal blood vessel patterns all have noteworthy drawbacks. Although signatures and photographs are cheap and easy to obtain and store, they are impossible to identify automatically with assurance, and are easily forget. Human iris on the other hand as an internal organ of the eye and as well protected from the external environment, yet it is easily visible from within one meter of distance makes it a perfect biometric for an identification system with the ease of speed, reliability and automation Iris recognition is an automated method of biometric identification that uses mathematical pattern-recognition techniques on images of the irises of an individual’s eyes, whose complex random patterns are unique. Proposed system provides a comprehensive implementation of periocular biometrics and a deep insight of various aspects such as utility of peri-ocular region In this project face and eye points are captured using Grassmann algorithm and Gabor filter for eye features extraction. Each trait is analysed separately and given its own score. The results are combined using deep leaning algorithm to provide a single decision in real time environments.

This work aimed to establish the maximum shelf life of pork of different quality classes depending on the action of non-microbial and microbial destructors. To achieve this goal, samples were taken from the longest back muscles of domestic and industrial pig carcasses. Depending on the results of organoleptic research, pork was divided into three quality classes: 1) NOR (close to optimal quality indicators), 2) PSE (pale, soft, exudative), and 3) DFD (dark, firm, dry). After that, each of the samples was divided into 1  equal parts and placed for storage in a refrigerator (t = 3 ± 1 °C). Each day, one part of the samples was used for laboratory research. The purpose of laboratory research was to establish the freshness of meat by determining the reaction to peroxidase, amino-ammonia nitrogen, reaction to ammonia with Nessler's reagent, and the content of short-chain fatty acids. In addition, the level of MAFAnM was determined. The results of laboratory studies showed that the fastest signs of spoilage were registered in pork, with signs of PSE obtained after the slaughter of pigs on small farms. The first signs of deterioration appeared already on the sixth day of storage. The second fastest spoilage rate (on the eighth day) was meat samples of the PSE quality class taken from pigs of industrial origin. At the same time, the highest increase in microbial contamination during storage was registered in meat samples of industrial origin with signs of DFD. We found that the microbial contamination of pork depends not only on the initial contamination at the production site but also on the quality class of the meat. On the 12th day of pork storage, only NOR-class meat samples of industrial origin remained fresh. Comparing meat samples of the same quality classes, asserting a shorter shelf life and a higher risk of meat products obtained due to domestic origin and backyard slaughter of pigs is possible. The main reason is a combination of factors, the main of which are the impossibility of observing proper hygienic conditions for animal slaughter, poor bleeding, unbalanced diet, and others.

This research is relevant due to the increasing incidence of pathological conditions in the rabbit stomach requiring surgical intervention for treatment. In order to improve and expedite the recovery process post-surgery, the research team decided to thoroughly investigate the reparative and regenerative processes in the rabbit stomach wall at various stages of healing. To achieve this, studies were conducted on the first, third, seventh, tenth, fourteenth, and twenty-first days post-operative intervention, comparing them with histological analysis of the stomach wall in rabbits that did not undergo surgery. Histological investigations revealed an interesting phenomenon within the first 24 hours after stomach injury in rabbits: the muscular layer underwent contraction, leading to closure of the defect, albeit with simultaneous formation of folds in the wound area. Additionally, small fragments of the muscular layer were observed on the outer surface of the stomach, partially degraded. By the third day, active fibroblast proliferation was evident in the damaged submucosal layer, a crucial stage in the regeneration process. By the seventh day, initial restoration of the submucosal layer was observed, although the defect was not yet completely resolved. By the tenth day, all components of the stomach wall, including the muscular layer, submucosal layer, and muscular lamina of the mucous membrane, were fully restored, albeit with the muscular lamina in the defect zone remaining hypertrophic. By the fourteenth day, the muscular lamina of the mucous membrane exhibited uneven thickening, and the newly formed mucous membrane contained cavities and necrotic tissue. By the twenty-first day, the stomach wall was completely restored, with properly formed structures.

Вступ. Сучасне суспільство в умовах глобалізаційних трансформацій хоче бачити у людині особистість. Змалечку система освіти формує у дитини позитивні якості майбутньої особистості. Спочатку батьки, потім вихователі, вчителі, найближче оточення дитини, а також незнайомі люди опосередковано чи пряму впливають формування у характері позитивних аспектів. На нашу думку, туризм надзвичайно сильно впливає на розвиток в людині особистісних характеристик. За допомогою туризму ми формуємо особистість у завуальованій формі. Дитина бачить у туризмі лише спорт, тому охоче насолоджується цим видом діяльності. А для суспільства важливо, що туризм впливає на здоров’я та особистісні якості дитини. Поглиблення та незворотність соціально-економічних і політичних перетворень у всіх сферах суспільного життя України ставлять нові завдання перед суспільством. Це перш за все завдання виховання сучасного покоління в дусі активної творчої праці, дотримання та гармонізації інтересів суспільства та особистості, розвитку духовності людини, збереження її фізичного та морального здоров’я. Мета та завдання статті. Метою статті є з’ясування значення інклюзивного туризму для особистісного розвитку особи з інвалідністю, розкриття впливу мандрівок на внутрішній світ особи. Результати. Встановлено, що інклюзивний туризм виступає одним із ключових засобів формування особистості людини з інвалідністю. Зокрема, подорожі допомагають людям розвинути глобальне світобачення, виховують співчуття, здатні допомогти людині підвищити самооцінку, формують вміння адекватно взаємодіяти з навколишньою дійсністю. У контексті розгляду можливостей розвитку особистості найбільш ефективним є культурно-пізнавальний туризм.
Social (de)stratification in Europe: An empirical analysis of 22 welfare systems
Authors: Antonelli Maria Alessandra , Salustri Andrea
Published: June 2024

EU national governments and the EU itself are committed to improving the ef-fectiveness of social protection systems to promote the spread of ‘horizontal' relationships between individuals and remove inequalities that prevent people from fully participating in political, economic, and social life. We evaluate this process by examining the performance of social protection systems in 22 Euro-pean countries, focusing on the phenomenon of social stratification over the pe-riod 2007-2017. For this purpose, we refer to both a multidimensional perfor-mance index and principal component analysis. The empirical evidence suggests that the financial crisis of 2007 and the Great Recession that started after 2011 changed (in many ways downsized) the objectives of social protection systems, contributing only partially to the de-stratification of the population of European states over the period covered.
