jPaleoDB: One-Stop Search for Japan's Paleontological Collections
Authors: Ito Yasuhiro , Sasaki Takenori , Matsubara Takashi , Kaneko Naotomo , Yabe Atsushi
Published: September 2024

The Japan Paleobiology Database (jPaleoDB)*1*2 is a portal website for one-stop searching of paleontological specimens housed in museums across Japan. It contains data for over 430,000 specimen records from 50 museums and institutions as of July 2024 (Table 1). These records include over 7,000 holotypes, more than 100,000 voucher specimens, and represent over 13,000 genera in the Animalia kingdom, over 1,100 genera in the Plantae kingdom, and over 980 genera from other groups. This portal site allows users to search for paleontological specimens from various museums simultaneously, eliminating the need to navigate individual museum databases with different formats and search systems. Search results provide users with detailed information about each specimen, including scientific name, locality, repository, catalog number, type status, and publication. Additionally, results link directly to the corresponding specimen page on each museum's website. jPaleoDB's mission is to establish a network that facilitates the use of paleontological specimens in Japan for research and education. It has further expanded to support curatorial work in each museum by digitizing catalogs to create datasets of currently hidden paleontological collections.

jPaleoDB is a research project built and operated by a group of individual researchers from universities and museums, not by a large organization like a national agency or academic society. Integrating data from museums that house specimens is challenging due to the difficulty of automation. As a result, much of the data requires manual curation. In addition, data for voucher specimens described in publications (paleontological papers, illustrated books, catalogs) are incorporated into jPaleoDB by analyzing publicly available resources and examining actual specimens at museums. Because of these reasons, jPaleoDB is still under development. We believe this portal site will be valuable for exploring the comprehensive record of paleontological specimens in Japan and helping users locate specific specimens of interest.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) includes a set of rapidly emerging technologies that have the potential to support environmental monitoring and biodiversity conservation through novel, non-invasive, cost-effective and democratic methods and tools. Meanwhile, eDNA researchers are developing international standards for eDNA technologies, methods and data outputs. For eDNA technologies to be accessible, useful and appropriate, we must ensure that any standards developed include a broad conception of users from around the world, a diversity of ecological contexts and locations and, most importantly, a realistic outlook on research capacities and infrastructure. In this article, we assemble perspectives on international standardisation of eDNA from a diverse and global group of users and experts from Africa, South America and the Pacific Islands. The authors of this article collaborated by answering and discussing a set of open-ended questions aimed at eliciting hopes, concerns and experiences regarding eDNA standards. The result is a set of emergent themes and a generative consensus to highlight the need for the creation of adaptable standards, the development of regional capacity, increased sensitising to data sovereignty and the viewing of standardisation as a global capacity-building activity.
HPMC-based fast-dissolving oral films with galantamine-loaded chitosan nanoparticles
Authors: Georgieva Dilyana , Kostova Bistra
Published: September 2024

Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder characterized by a gradual decline in memory, thinking, behavior, and social skills. Galantamine hydrobromide is a reversible competitive cholinesterase inhibitor used for managing Alzheimer’s disease. Its oral administration, however, is accompanied by unwanted side effects, such as gastrointestinal disturbances, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects could be avoided by the incorporation of galantamine into nanoparticles. The present study describes the preparation and characterization of HPMC-based fast-dissolving oral films with galantamine-loaded chitosan nanoparticles. Galantamine-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared using the ionotropic gelation method. High values for loading efficiency were established. DLS was used to evaluate the particle size and the Z-potential. The polymer used in this study for the preparation of the fast-dissolving oral films was HPMC, and PEG 400 was used as a plasticizer. The quality of the prepared films was evaluated based on the following criteria: flexibility, spreading ability, adhesiveness, non-sticky and easily peeled, and appearance. The thickness, folding endurance, and disintegration times of the prepared films were determined. In vitro dissolution studies were conducted in order to establish the drug release rate from the films.

Published: September 2024

A new species of Amphisbaena is described from the north of Espinhaço Mountain Range, municipality of Caetité, state of Bahia, Brazil. Amphisbaena amethystasp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: (1) snout convex in profile, slightly compressed not keeled; (2) pectoral scales arranged in regular annuli; (3) four precloacal pores; (4) distinct cephalic shields; (5) 185–199 dorsal half-annuli; (6) 13–16 caudal annuli; (7) conspicuous autotomic site between 4th–6th caudal annuli; (8) 16–21 dorsal and ventral segments at midbody; (9) 3/3 supralabials; (10) 3/3 infralabials; and (11) smooth and rounded tail tip. The new species is the 71st species of genus with four precloacal pores, and the 22nd species from the Caatinga morphoclimatic domain. The identification of Amphisbaena amethystasp. nov. indicates that the reptile fossorial fauna in the Espinhaço Mountain Range region is far from being completely known and that it may harbour a much greater diversity of endemic taxa.

Whole-School Approaches and Their Impact on School Climate and Student Psycho-Emotional Being
Authors: Kourea Lefki , Fella Argyro
Published: September 2024

Students get to learn and flourish in school environments where the school climate is positive, the staff is consistent in their support, and caring relationships with all students are promoted. School climate is a complex and multifaceted construct that has drawn the attention of several scholars who have extensively explored its theoretical and conceptual definition.Changing the school climate is not an easy task. Nonetheless, research findings have shown that when whole-school approaches are designed and implemented, student and teacher perceptions of school climate change positively. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the example of the School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) framework, its critical features, and pedagogical philosophy as a targeted solution for cultivating a safe school climate and empowering students and staff psycho-emotional well-being. Further, the chapter will provide an overview of the empirical basis of the impact of SWPBIS on student academic achievement and well-being and conclude with implications for practice.
Strengthening Socio-Emotional Skills For Students at Risk for Mental Health Issues Within School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Authors: Kourea Lefki , Lytra Fotini
Published: September 2024

Student mental health has received increased attention over the last years, with researchers and governments trying to identify the best ways to support students and adolescents (e.g., Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health & United Nations Children's Fund, 2022). Efforts have concentrated on initiating mental health services and increasing school-and program-based mental health supports to address student needs at individual and school levels. Recently, some researchers have suggested teaching social-emotional skills within a prevention-focused school-wide tiered model because simply adopting a socio-emotional curriculum does not lead to adequate implementation or improved student outcomes (Greenberg et al., 2017). This chapter describes the mental health challenges at-risk students face and suggests strengthening their socio-emotional skills within the tiered continuum of supports of the School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports framework.

Authors: Vaiouli Potheini , Theodorou Marios , Panayiotou Georgia
Published: September 2024

The success of Higher Education as an effective learning environment rests on establishing an inclusive context that promotes life-long learning opportunities. Psycho-social skills are considered fundamental competencies for youth development: crucial for individuals' academic achievement, mental health, and life success. Although universal skills development programs have produced promising findings, there are several challenges in effectively providing such services to the wide student population. There is growing literature indicating the potential of incorporating music strategies and music-based intervention as an effective medium for these programs integrated into the universal academic pathway. This chapter presents the rationale and the development pathway of an enhanced (standard + music) classroom-based Emotion Regulation skills training to meet the diverse needs of university students. Through a multiphase method, we present data from three pilot single-arm studies on the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of the program on students' adaptive emotion regulation.

Published: September 2024

Traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease share pathological similarities, including neuronal loss, amyloid-β deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, blood–brain barrier dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and cognitive deficits. Furthermore, traumatic brain injury can exacerbate Alzheimer’s disease-like pathologies, potentially leading to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Nanocarriers offer a potential solution by facilitating the delivery of small interfering RNAs across the blood–brain barrier for the targeted silencing of key pathological genes implicated in traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike traditional approaches to neuroregeneration, this is a molecular-targeted strategy, thus avoiding non-specific drug actions. This review focuses on the use of nanocarrier systems for the efficient and precise delivery of siRNAs, discussing the advantages, challenges, and future directions. In principle, siRNAs have the potential to target all genes and non-targetable proteins, holding significant promise for treating various diseases. Among the various therapeutic approaches currently available for neurological diseases, siRNA gene silencing can precisely “turn off” the expression of any gene at the genetic level, thus radically inhibiting disease progression; however, a significant challenge lies in delivering siRNAs across the blood–brain barrier. Nanoparticles have received increasing attention as an innovative drug delivery tool for the treatment of brain diseases. They are considered a potential therapeutic strategy with the advantages of being able to cross the blood–brain barrier, targeted drug delivery, enhanced drug stability, and multifunctional therapy. The use of nanoparticles to deliver specific modified siRNAs to the injured brain is gradually being recognized as a feasible and effective approach. Although this strategy is still in the preclinical exploration stage, it is expected to achieve clinical translation in the future, creating a new field of molecular targeted therapy and precision medicine for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease associated with traumatic brain injury.
Bullous pemphigoid after Split Skin grafting in vitiligo patient
Authors: Bhatt Siddharth , Mannu Anand , Paliwal Gourang , Vasudevan Biju
Published: September 2024

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune condition characterized by tense subepidermal blisters commonly seen in old age. Vitiligo is another autoimmune disease associated with loss of melanocytes. Very few cases of coexistence of vitiligo and BP are reported. A split skin graft (SSG) is a surgical option for stable vitiligo. BP over the SSG is a rare occurrence. We present the case of an elderly individual who developed BP at the site of SSG for vitiligo. Postmanagement of BP the lesion healed with recurrence of vitiligo patch at the same site. This case highlights that surgical intervention without ascertaining the stability of the disease activity may not only preclude the patient to the development of the primary disease but also lead to development of other autoimmune illnesses at the surgical site due to unmasking of the epitope to already circulating antibodies.
The incidence of tax rates on workers’ debt stability and demand regimes
Authors: Brenck Clara Zanon
Published: September 2024

This paper explores different tax regimes in a Post Keynesian model where workers get into debt to emulate the consumption of upper-income classes. The government taxes income to fund a social wage that would reduce workers’ need to get into debt. Three tax regimes are analyzed: taxing profits, managers’ wages, or both. In a numerical exercise, we explore the effects of changing the within-wage and functional inequalities. The government’s income tax choices and the wage bill’s distribution matter for the economy’s sustainability and the relationship between distribution and growth. The demand regime of the economy is not independent of policy. Taxing only profits and reducing wage inequality are the best possible outcomes in the model if we were to wind down the unsustainability feature of neoliberalism without sacrificing real performance.
Demand-led growth under political constraints: a long-run model of conflict inflation
Authors: Morlin Guilherme Spinato , Pariboni Riccardo
Published: September 2024

The disciplinary and distributive role of unemployment has long been acknowledged in economic theory and is at the heart of conflict inflation theory. In this article, we combine conflict inflation and growth in an autonomous demand-led model with endogenous distribution. In this way, we extend typical results of conflict inflation models to the long run, finding the following: (a) an inverse relation between the unemployment rate and inflation, in line with the non-accelerationist Phillips curve; (b) an inverse relation between the growth rate of autonomous demand and the unemployment rate and, for this reason; (c) a direct relation between the growth rate of autonomous demand and the wage share. The relationship described in (c) reveals the underlying conflict over the determination of growth patterns, paving the way for an analysis of the political economy of autonomous demand, and in particular, of fiscal and monetary policies. We conclude that macroeconomic policy constitutes another dimension of the conflict between classes over the division of the social product.
Temporal Sequencing of Documents
Authors: Gervers Michael , Tilahun Gelila
Published: September 2024

We outline an unsupervised method for temporal rank ordering of sets of
historical documents, namely American State of the Union Addresses and DEEDS, a
corpus of medieval English property transfer documents. Our method relies upon
effectively capturing the gradual change in word usage via a bandwidth estimate
for the non-parametric Generalized Linear Models (Fan, Heckman, and Wand,
1995). The number of possible rank orders needed to search through for cost
functions related to the bandwidth can be quite large, even for a small set of
documents. We tackle this problem of combinatorial optimization using the
Simulated Annealing algorithm, which allows us to obtain the optimal document
temporal orders. Our rank ordering method significantly improved the temporal
sequencing of both corpora compared to a randomly sequenced baseline. This
unsupervised approach should enable the temporal ordering of undated document
sets.
Ensemble machine learning algorithm for cost-effective and timely detection of diabetes in Maiduguri, Borno State
Authors: Dada Emmanuel Gbenga , Birma Aishatu Ibrahim , Gora Abdulkarim Abbas
Published: September 2024

Diabetes is a serious medical condition that severely hinders the body's ability to produce or properly regulate insulin, leading to detrimental carbohydrate metabolism and dangerously high blood sugar levels. This ultimately causes inadequate carbohydrate metabolism and heightened blood glucose levels. Alarmingly, from 2000 to 2019, diabetes-related mortality rates rose by 3%. In the year 2019 alone, diabetes was tragically responsible for nearly 2 million deaths. This groundbreaking research introduces the improved weighted average ensemble learning (WAEL) model as an innovative solution for detecting diabetes. The enhanced WAEL model effectively addresses the overfitting challenge by integrating multiple models that have gained unique insights from the data. The proposed WAEL model ingeniously combines five feature spaces through the grey wolf optimisation (GWO) algorithm to uncover the optimal weight combination. GWO plays a vital role in weight optimization, enabling the reduction of weights in models that are particularly sensitive to noise. The results demonstrated that the improved WAEL achieved an astounding level of accuracy, soaring to 98.90%. The LGBM algorithm followed closely, achieving an impressive accuracy of 85.00%. The RF method recorded an accuracy of 81.00%. When it comes to accurately identifying diabetes, the improved WAEL ensemble model significantly outperformed the other five individual models, as evidenced by metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Therefore, the proposed model stands as a compelling alternative tool for healthcare professionals in the early detection of diabetes.

ADJEKTIVNI INTENZIFIKATORI U SAVREMENOM SRPSKOM JEZIKU
Authors:   University of Priština – Kosovska Mitrovica, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia, Janjušević Oliveri Ana M.
Published: September 2024

The paper examines intensifiers, i.e. adjectives and adjectival pronouns that develop the function of intensification in certain contextual conditions. The study aims to reveal which seed structure favours the realization of the intensifying function of the adjective and to deter- mine the intensifier type achieved by combining an adjectival modifier and a governing noun, that is, a governing adjective, as well as to clarify the type of syntactic relationship between the superior substantive/adjective and the intensifier adjective. Adjectives used as intensifiers of both nouns and adjectives achieve two types of intensifi- cation: 1) gradual, which implies highlighting the degree of representation of a feature; and 2) factual, which emphasizes the speaker’s assessment of the presence of characteristics relevant to the concept denoted by the noun
SINTAKSA REČENICE U SRPSKOJ DIJALEKTOLOGIJI: ASPEKTI I REZULTATI DOSADAŠNJIH I PRAVCI BUDUĆIH ISTRAŽIVANJA

Published: September 2024

An overview of the existing research on sentence syntax in Serbian dialects is provided in the paper. Consulting available dialectological studies, the author summarizes conclusions and points out the frequently mentioned problem of the unexplored nature of this linguistic level. The review is organized according to the dialects in the paper, whereby studies and individual papers, along with their conclusions, are presented in chronological order. It has been shown that, apart from two doctoral dissertations addressing this issue, no comprehensive study has been published solely dedicated to the syntax of colloquial sentences. All information related to this question in scientific literature is found in the form of incidental remarks in relatively small sections of studies traditionally focused on examining prosodic, phonetic, or morphological aspects. The aim of the paper is thus to emphasize the necessity of this type of research so that the rich linguistic material that provides the opportunity to draw theoretically significant linguistic conclusions, will not remain undiscovered and unknown to the scientific community. By reviewing the available literature, we conclude that the least examined dialects of the Serbian language include the Smederevo-Vršac and Šumadija-Vojvodina dialects. The Kosovo-Raška and Zeta-Sjenica dialects, as well as the speech of the Priština-Timočka zone, have been somewhat more frequently studied by dialectologists, and there is more extensive material published about them. Finally, the most examined idiom includes the Herzegovina-Krajina dialect. The author’s conclusion in the paper is that the necessity of examining the syntactic linguistic level of Serbian dialects is evident. Serbian dialectology still awaits a monographic publication solely dedicated to presenting syntactic issues of Serbian speech.
EPONIMI I DIFERENCIJALNO MARKIRANJE OBJEKTA U RAZGOVORNOM SRPSKOM JEZIKU
Authors:   University of Nis, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia, Stanković Branimir V.
Published: September 2024

Research on the phenomenon of differential object marking in functional and typological literature indicates that a direct object positioned higher on the animacy (1) and/or definite- ness scale (2) is more likely to be morphologically marked in the accusative case (Aissen 2003): (1) human > anthropomorphized living being > non-anthropomorphized living being > inanimate; (2) personal pronoun (1st, 2nd person > 3rd person) > proper name > appellative with a human denotate > animate appellative with a human denotate > inanimate appellative > defi- nite nominal phrase > indefinite nominal phrase > nonspecific nominal phrase. In Serbian, the animacy scale is relevant for (morphologically unmarked) masculine singular nouns, which are syncretic with the genitive form for anthropomorphized living denotates and syncretic with the nominative form for non-anthropomorphized living and inanimate nominal denotates: (3) I saw {*pop-∅/pop-a} / {*mačak-∅/mačk-a} / {bor-∅/*bor-a} / {virus-∅/*virus-a} / {sto-∅/*stol-a}. We will demonstrate in which contexts the definiteness scale can be relevant for the collo- quial register of the Serbian language. In (4) and (5), the morphologically marked form (-a) can refer to both an individual definite referent and to a type/class, while the morphologically unmarked form (-∅) cannot refer to a discourse-introduced referent (5): (4) In his guitar collection, Nenad owns {Fender-∅/Fender-ai} and {Gibson-∅/Gibson-a}; (5) Tonight, he will play {Fender-∅*i/Fender-ai}. According to the definiteness scale in (2), (anthropo)nims are prominent and tend to be visibly marked. However, in the case of eponyms, reference to hierarchically lower, indefinite, and nonspecific referents is possible only with the unmarked form. The presented situation will be analyzed using Horn’s (2002) binomial model, demonstrating that the morphologically unmarked form has become semantically marked, while the morphologically marked form has become ambiguous.

Authors: Hoo Wong Chee , Eng Oh Tean , Kimpah Jeniboy , Prompanyo Manoch , Jia Ye , Wolor Christian Wiradendi
Published: September 2024

Objective: The purpose of the research is to examine the moderating role of coaching on employee job satisfaction within the Malaysian manufacturing sector. The independent variables are transformational leadership, organizational culture and work-life balance.  Thus, research investigates the connections between the independent variables and employee job satisfaction as the dependent variable, with a specific focus on the moderating impact of coaching. 
 
Theoretical Framework: The underpinning study uses Theory X and Theory Y where empowering managers foster positive relationships with their employees and improved productivity.
 
Method: Through a quantitative analysis and the 400 questionnaires was successfully collected using snowball sampling.   The data is being analysed using SPSS software to perform Pearson correlations and regression.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings reveal positive correlations between variables and job satisfaction. Coaching also significantly mediates the job satisfaction. The implications extend beyond the manufacturing sector, providing valuable insights for organizations seeking to cultivate positive work environments and achieve overall organizational success.
 
Research Implications: The study advances scholarly knowledge by closing a gap in the literature on job satisfaction of Malaysian manufacturing workers. Prior to this study, no empirical investigation on the function of coaching as a moderator in the relationship between particular traits and employee work satisfaction in Malaysian manufacturing could be found. In essence, by including coaching into these areas, Malaysian manufacturing companies can raise employee job satisfaction. By means of coaching strategies, leaders enable employees to guide and support them, offer timely feedback, and promote personal development, so enhancing employee performance, job satisfaction, and Malaysian manufacturing companies.
 
Originality/Value: The concept of the study examined the understanding for what coaching can moderate the relationship between leadership, organizational culture, and work-life balance with job satisfaction in Malaysia. This topic is particularly relevant to SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth: Enhancing job satisfaction can lead to higher productivity and economic growth.

Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study investigates the factors that affect the intention of using a recycled shopping bags at hypermarkets and convenience stores among Penang residents.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study applied the Theory of Value-Belief-Norm using the three stated variables: Awareness of Consequences, Personal Norm, and Intention to Use Recycled Shopping Bags. In addition, this study combines aspects from the Theory of Planned Behaviour and includes three additional variables: Subjective Norms, Attitude, and Perceived Behaviour Control.
 
Method: An online questionnaire was used to gather data from 384 residents of Penang. The SmartPLS 4 program was utilized to perform structural analysis in order to examine the correlation between the research variables.
 
Results and Discussions: The results show that all hypothesized variables explain the intention to use recycled shopping bags. Specifically, it has been shown that higher awareness of the environment, more intense personal norms, positive attitude towards the use of recycled bags, support for subjective norms, and higher perceived behavioural control are the most significant factors contributing to a greater intention to use recycled shopping bags.
 
Research Implications: Research The findings of this study provide important recommendations for researchers, governments and retailers to promote the use of recycled shopping bags. Practitioners should emphasize personal responsibility and conduct educational campaigns to increase awareness of personal impacts on the environment. Governments should educate community leaders through education programs and provide resources and incentives for environmental initiatives. Retailers want to create environmentally friendly brand identities, use narrative to promote the benefits of recycled materials, and engage consumers with interactive campaigns. Overall, a multi-faceted approach involving an awareness campaign about plastic bag pollution may improve positive attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioural control. Ultimately, it increases the use of recycled shopping bags among Penang residents.

Authors: Ceballos Yony Fernando , Vasquez Camila
Published: September 2024

Colombia es uno de los cinco países con mayor diversidad biológica a nivel internacional y debe gestionar eficazmente zonas terrestres, marinas, sistemas nacionales y regionales de áreas protegidas completos. Un área protegida es un territorio designado por su singularidad en valores naturales y su preservación está a cargo del Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas (SINAP). No obstante, existen zonas que pueden ser afectadas por incendios forestales de origen natural o provocados por el hombre. Simultáneamente, entidades como la NASA se dedican a recolectar información a partir de diferentes satélites y generar información accesible a cualquier usuario para realizar análisis cruzados. En ese trabajo se toman datos geoespaciales de las áreas protegidas y se cruzan con los mapas de incendios disponibles en la NASA para identificar cuáles regiones de Colombia tienen mayor propensión a ser afectadas y como trabajo futuro se propone priorizar diferentes políticas orientadas a sostenibilidad ambiental.

El presente estudio propone un Mecanismo de Pago por Servicios Ambientales (PSA) para la conservación del Páramo Sabana Rubia, en el municipio de Manaure, Cesar. El objetivo principal es diseñar un esquema que incentive la preservación de los valores ecosistémicos mediante compensaciones económicas o en especie. La metodología incluyó un enfoque cuantitativo, con la aplicación de encuestas y el uso de la Valoración Económica Ambiental y Contingente, sustentada en la Regresión Lineal Múltiple. Se empleó un muestreo aleatorio simple para seleccionar a los participantes de las encuestas, y se aplicaron análisis econométricos para estimar la disposición a pagar (DAP) de los habitantes locales. Los resultados indican que la disposición de pago promedio ajustada es de 1.400 pesos colombianos por familia, y la relación costo-efectividad es de 1,29. Se priorizaron 4.449,18 hectáreas para conservación y restauración. Con base en estos hallazgos, se recomienda implementar un esquema de PSA que contemple una estrategia de financiamiento mixta para garantizar la sostenibilidad a largo plazo. Concluimos que la conservación del páramo es viable a través de un esquema adaptado a las condiciones socioeconómicas locales y con una participación comunitaria activa.

Background. The decline in the population and the threat of extinction that is currently applicable to most sturgeon species, as well as changes in their habitat and spawning environment have been the focus of attention for scientists and governments of different states for many years. Relevance. The preservation and restoration of fishing stocks of valuable sturgeon species and conservation of other vulnerable species are urgent tasks within the scope of rational use of natural resources and conservation of biological diversity and require international efforts. The aim of this work is to consider the main subject matters and focal areas of the upcoming Tenth International Symposium on Sturgeon, which will be held on October 2025 in Yichang (China). Methods. The main topics of the preliminary reports of the participants and speakers of the symposium have been analyzed, as well as the problems set out to be discussed over its duration. Results. This article is intended to familiarize the scientific community of Russia and other countries with the international-level matters associated with the upcoming symposium. Conclusion. The relevance of the international discussion of the current status of studies concerning sturgeon fish species, of increasing their natural reproduction efficiency, their breeding and rearing in the context of declining population abundance have been emphasized, as well as importance of identification of the prospects and challenges in restoration of some species populations with consideration to the dedicated long-term release of sturgeon juveniles into the natural water bodies and exploration of the approaches to their ex situ conservation.
A BODY VOLUME MODEL FOR THE COMMON PERCH PERCA FLUVIATILIS L., 1758
Authors:   Polessky State University (PolesSU), Shumak V. V.
Published: September 2024

Background. Expansion of the digitalization possibilities in the modern scientific research aligns with the trends in societal development. The study of the body shape features of a fish contributes to collecting the primary material for further processing. The species-specific morphometric characteristics provide the means to derive a model from the original. Relevance. The improvement of methodological approaches to the creation of digital models in ichthyology and fish farming is crucial for expanding the possibilities of studying fish biology. The aim of this work is to substantiate the methodological approaches to the introduction of a digital model for a fish species using the common perch Perca fluviatilis L., 1758 as an example. Methods. The collection of primary material has been carried out according to conventional methods of ichthyological research. The volume of a fish body has also been studied through the example of a body shape model based on the collected morphometric data in the form of the sum of two halves of two ellipsoids. The possibility of using morphometric characteristics for creation of a “morphological passport” of a fish species has been investigated. Results. The ratio of the measured body volume of a common perch to the calculated volume according to the model featuring the sum of the halves of two ellipsoids has been identified. Based on the obtained values, it has been found to be close to 0.97, which is compliant with the investigated model by 97 % and determines the development of the common perch in the Dnieper-Bug Canal within the Pinsky District, Republic of Belarus. The rationale for using a non-specific data presentation for a fish species with the common perch as an investigation target is given based on the length from the end of its snout to the end of its scale covering. Following the results of this study, it has also been found out that the percentage values regarding l1/l in the common perch fingerling changed as compared to those of seven-yearling from 25 % to 17 %. However, the investigated O/l ratio increased from 43 % in fingerlings of this species to 50 % in older age groups. Conclusion. The sum of the ratios of the common perch body length taken from the top of the snout to the vertical line drawn from the base of the ventral fins to the dorsal fin, as well as its body width, height, and girth, to the length of its body from the top of the snout to the end of the scale covering has been identified. It started with 1.218 in fingerlings and increased to 1.926 in seven-yearlings. This unique combination of the four values of the investigated relationships can be used in creating a digital “morphological passport” of the common perch.
Reconstrucción de la teoría de los regímenes alimentarios (TRA). Parte I
Authors: Méndez Diego
Published: September 2024

El presente escrito es la primera parte de un trabajo cuyo cometido es reconstruir la Teoría de los Regímenes Alimentarios (TRA), con base en un aparato reconstructor inspirado en la teoría de categorías. En esta primera entrega se discute por qué se ha decidido abordar esta reconstrucción y por qué se ha seleccionado una herramienta diagramática para hacerlo. Se describe TRA en términos generales: una perspectiva que periodiza el modo de producción capitalista de los últimos ciento cincuenta años, en relación con la producción y comercio mundial de alimentos básicos. Dada su restringida aplicación al comercio capitalista de alimentos del último siglo y medio, se discute también si acaso se trata de una teoría empírica u otro tipo de producto cognoscitivo. Luego se pormenoriza el aparato reconstructor que se emplea en la segunda parte del trabajo. Aunque dicho instrumental se basa en la teoría de categorías, más específicamente en la categoría de los conjuntos, la reconstrucción es deudora la de la Metateoría Estructuralista, y no propone desarrollar una metateoría categorial distinta. De cualquier manera, en las páginas finales del presente texto se mencionan algunas iniciativas de otros autores que sugieren una Metateoría Categorial diferente.
