Spatiotemporal Evolution and Driving Mechanisms of Ecological Risk in the Yuncheng Salt Lake Wetland, China
Authors: He Qicheng , Zhang Zhihao , Zhang Yuan , Sun Tianyue , Wang Weipeng , Zhang Zhifeng
Published: February 2025

As the only large sulfate-type salt lake in the global warm temperate deciduous forest zone, Yuncheng Salt Lake plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem stability and establishing a regional ecological barrier due to its unique ecological characteristics. Currently, there is a lack of research on the spatial and temporal differentiation of ecological risks in inland lakes, particularly salt lake wetland ecosystems, under current and future scenarios. Moreover, studies using optimal parameter-based geographical detectors to identify the influencing factors of landscape ecological risks—while avoiding subjective bias—remain limited. This study utilizes land use/land cover data of Yuncheng Salt Lake from 1990 to 2022 to construct a landscape ecological risk assessment model. By employing spatial autocorrelation analysis, the optimal geographical detector, and the Patch-level Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model, the study explores the dynamic evolution of ecological risks in Yuncheng Salt Lake wetlands under different current and future scenarios. Furthermore, it analyzes the influence of various natural and socio-economic factors on ecological risk, aiming to provide valuable insights for targeted ecological risk warning and management measures in inland salt lake regions. The results indicate that: (1) Between 1990 and 2022, the area of built-up land in Yuncheng Salt Lake wetlands increased significantly, primarily due to the continuous decline in farmland area, while the water area initially decreased and then increased. (2) The landscape ecological risk index declined over the study period, indicating an improvement in the ecological risk status of Yuncheng Salt Lake wetlands in recent years, with the overall ecosystem security trending positively. (3) Topographical conditions are the primary factors influencing landscape ecological risk in Yuncheng Salt Lake wetlands, followed by mean annual temperature and population density. The synergistic effect of elevation with annual precipitation and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) exhibits the strongest explanatory power for the landscape ecological risk in the region. (4) Under different future scenarios, the proportion of high ecological risk areas in Yuncheng Salt Lake wetlands is projected to decrease to varying extents, with the ecological protection scenario contributing more effectively to the sustainable development of the salt lake wetland ecosystem.
Development of Integrated Chassis Control of Semi-Active Suspension with Differential Brake for Vehicle Lateral Stability
Authors: Lee Kyungtack , Seol Jinwoo
Published: February 2025

This paper describes an integrated control strategy that utilizes semi-active suspension and differential braking to enhance lateral stability while maintaining roll performance. The integrated control architecture adopts a hierarchical structure consisting of an estimator, a supervisor, a controller, and an allocator. In the estimation layer, an algorithm is proposed to robustly estimate the side slip angle and roll angle in various situations. The control mode is established by the supervision layer based on the state of the vehicle. The maneuverability mode tracks the driver’s intentions, and the lateral stability mode ensures the vehicle’s stability. Reference values such as yaw rate and roll angle are determined by the control mode. In the controller layer, the yaw and roll moments are generated using sliding mode control to achieve the target yaw rate and roll angle. Brake torque and suspension damping force are distributed to each wheel in the allocator layer. In particular, a damping distribution method based on the roll region index is proposed. The proposed method is compared with conventional methods, such as full stiff damping and yaw-assisted damping, through simulation and real-world evaluation. The tests demonstrate that the proposed approach enhances lateral and roll stability, particularly regarding maximum side slip and roll angle values. The roll-region-index-based distribution method reduces the maximum roll angle by about 17.4% and the maximum side slip angle by about 8.7% compared to each conventional method. Compared to conventional methods, the proposed method showed more stable driving performance by ensuring stability in both directions in extreme lane change situations.
Multi Objective Optimization of Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy Considering User Selectivity
Authors: Li Sheng , Yan Xiangyu , Wang Guanhua
Published: February 2025

Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasing in number every year, and large-scale uncontrolled EV charging can impose significant load pressure on the power grid (PG), affecting its stability and economy. This paper proposes an EV charging strategy that considers user selectivity. The user’s selection strategy includes options for fast and slow charging types, as well as the choice of whether to comply with grid-controlled charging. Charging types are selected based on the ability to reach the desired state of charge (SOC), while compliance with grid-controlled charging is determined by comparing the unit charging cost (CC). An objective function is established to minimize the peak valley load difference (PVLD) rate of PGs and users’ CC. To achieve this, an improved non-dominated sorting whale optimization algorithm (INSWOA) is proposed which initializes the population through logistic mapping, introduces nonlinear convergence factors for position updates, and uses adaptive inertia weights to improve population diversity, enhance global optimization ability, reduce premature convergence, and improve solution accuracy. Finally, simulating distribution networks in a certain region, the results obtained from the INSWOA were compared with those from the non-dominated sorting whale optimization algorithm (NSWOA) and other algorithms. The comparisons demonstrated that the INSWOA significantly reduced the PVLD rate of the PG load and users’ CCs, highlighting its high practical value.

Authors: Yang Yuefei , Wu Jingbo , Guo Zhijun
Published: February 2025

In order to solve the problem that electric forklifts are prone to rollover when turning, a coordinated control strategy for anti-rollover of electric forklifts is proposed. A forklift dynamics simulation model with integrated centroid position is constructed, the stability of the forklift is judged by the phase plane area division method, the upper controller, including the active steering controller, and the differential brake controller are designed, the control weight coefficient of the active steering controller and the differential brake controller in different control domains is determined through the coordination controller, so as to obtain the required additional rear wheel rotation angle and additional yaw torque, and the braking force distribution controller exerts braking force to the wheel according to the additional yaw torque. A simulation model is built to verify the effectiveness of this control strategy, and the simulation results show that the control strategy can greatly reduce the risk of rollover when the forklift is cornering and further improve the stability of the forklift.

Published: February 2025

Objetivos. Investigar a frequência e os sintomas da COVID-19, informações sobre hospitalização e complicações em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson (DP) que foram infectados pelo SARS-CoV-2, comparando seu perfil clínico e sociodemográfico com o de indivíduos não infectados. Método. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, retrospectivo, realizado no Ambulatório Bias Fortes do Hospital das Clínicas (HC), no Centro de Especialidades Médicas (CEM) da Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte e na Associação dos Parkinsonianos de Minas Gerais (ASPARMIG). Resultados.  Entre junho e setembro de 2022, foram feitas tentativas de contato com 271 pacientes. No entanto, 184 não puderam ser contatados devido a números desatualizados ou à recusa em participar. Quatro pacientes faleceram (um por COVID-19) e dois estavam hospitalizados por outras razões. No total, 63 pacientes (38 homens e 25 mulheres) participaram do estudo, com idade média de 65,4±10,5 anos e duração média da DP de 10,3±6,6 anos. A maioria dos participantes (93,6%) havia recebido três ou mais doses da vacina, e 18 (28,6%) foram diagnosticados com a infecção. Os sintomas mais relatados foram tosse, mialgia e cefaleia. Nenhum paciente precisou de internação ou apresentou complicações pós-infecção. Não foram observadas diferenças significantes entre os pacientes infectados e não infectados em relação às características sociodemográficas e clínicas. Conclusões. Nossos resultados indicam que a taxa de infecção por COVID-19 em indivíduos com DP é compatível com a reportada em outros estudos da literatura. Não foram observadas complicações pós-infecção, e as características gerais dos indivíduos com DP infectados e não infectados foram semelhantes.
The Andes of Colombia and Ecuador as a Barrier to Fern and Lycophyte Species from Mesoamerica
Authors: Morris Sarah , Moran Robbin C.
Published: February 2025

We compiled a list of the fern and lycophyte species that occur in Mesoamerica and extend into Colombia and Ecuador, where they are restricted to the western side of the Andes; that is, they occur only west of the crest of the easternmost cordillera and are absent from that cordillera’s eastern slope and in adjacent Amazonia. We found 131 species with this Mesoamerican and west-of-the-eastern-cordillera distribution. Those 131 species constitute 7% of the total 1805 fern and lycophyte species that have been recorded west of the crest of the easternmost cordillera in Colombia and Ecuador. All 131 species have elevation ranges with midpoints at low (0–900 m) or middle (900–3000 m) elevations, and none occur above 3000 m. This suggests the cordilleras have acted as elevational barriers. We also investigated the blockage of these 131 species by each of the Andean cordilleras. We found that 75 (57%) of the 131 species were limited eastward by the western cordillera, 15 (11%) by the central cordillera (this cordillera in Colombia only), and 40 (31%) by the eastern cordillera. If estimates of endemics to the western Andean region are considered, then at least 20%–22% of all fern and lycophyte species in the region are restricted west of the crest of the easternmost cordillera. Although usually exhibiting larger geographic distributions compared to angiosperms, fern and lycophyte species may show significant geographic restriction by mountain ranges.
Diverse ecosystem services as a source of income in forestry – a comparison of selected European state forest enterprises
Authors: Kaliszewski Adam , Jabłoński Marek , Młynarski Wojciech
Published: February 2025

Current environmental and climate policies and societal expectations, which may lead to restrictions on timber harvesting in forests, may affect the sustainable forest management model, which is primarily based on revenue from timber sales. This problem could also affect the State Forest Holding (PGLLP) in Poland, which derives almost 90% of its income from timber sales. The paper discusses the possibilities of diversifying income sources in selected European state forest enterprises (Poland vs Bavaria and Lower Saxony in Germany and Austria) based on the concept of ecosystem services and their sale. The analysis is based on financial data from the annual reports of the analysed enterprises. The solutions applied in some countries show that revenues from the sale of ecosystem services other than timber can constitute an important part of the income of forest enterprises, and their experience could be utilised for the development of future strategies in State Forests.

« Que doit faire un artiste maintenant, à notre époque ? » : l’ancien et le moderne dans la conception artistique de Nikolaj Polevoj (récit Le peintre)
Authors: Tokarev Dimitri
Published: February 2025

Le récit de Nikolaj Polevoj Le peintre (1833) enrichit un canon romantique déjà bien établi, à son époque, en y introduisant un motif inhabituel : celui de la peinture d’icônes. Le jeune artiste visionnaire Arkadij, explicitement influencé par le modèle de représentation visuelle bien connue de la Madone, tel que décrit par W. G. Wackenroder et popularisé en Russie par Žukovskij, ne peut néanmoins complètement renier son expérience de formation chez un peintre d’icônes. Le désordre visuel qui caractérise les images rassemblées dans l’atelier d’Arkadij reflète son hésitation à choisir un mode de représentation particulier. Cependant, dans son dernier tableau, Le Christ aux enfants, Arkadij parvient à concilier la stéréotypie de l’image religieuse avec une approche visionnaire. Ainsi, la peinture d’icônes, qu’Arkadij perçoit initialement comme incompatible avec les aspirations artistiques de l’époque moderne, se révèle être un élément important dans l’élaboration d’un nouveau modèle artistique. Ce modèle combine la subjectivité romantique à une objectivation presque mécanique de l’image divine, caractéristique de la peinture d’icônes en tant qu’« âge patriarcal de l’art ».
Телемосты и звезды: зарубежная эстрада на телефестивале «Песня года»
Authors: Zhurkova Daria
Published: February 2025

Советская массовая песня на протяжении всего периода существования СССР позиционировалась ведущим (мета)жанром популярной музыки. Особенности этого жанра регулярно и активно обсуждались в центральных газетах, специализированных музыкальных журналах, просветительских брошюрах и научных монографиях, а также на региональных и всесоюзных Пленумах Союза композиторов. Во всех этих дискуссиях непременно формулировались задачи, стоящие перед советской песней, и обозначалась её специфика, неразрывно связанная с соцреализмом. Его основные принципы в отношении песни формулировались следующим образом: 1) доступность широким массам, 2) приоритет ясной песенной мелодики, 3) строгая избирательность в отношении стилей и жанров, 4) нравственная направленность песенных образов, 5) тематическое разнообразие вкупе с приоритетом песен гражданско-патриотической тематики, 6) ограниченный круг допустимых эмоций, особенно вызываемых любовными переживаниями и, наконец, 7) высокие профессиональные стандарты для композиторов, поэтов и певцов. Телефестиваль «Песня года», стартовавший в самом начале 1970-х годов, задумывался как (хит)парад официально одобряемой советской музыкальной эстрады. Однако его участниками порой оказывались зарубежные певцы и композиторы. Музыкальные номера, которые регулярно появлялись в «Песне года» и репрезентировали международные связи СССР, делятся на три группы. Первую группу составляют выступления непрофессиональных певцов — студенческой молодежи и детей из дружественных стран. Вторая группа складывается из песен, исполненных профессиональными иностранными певцами. Они выступали как «живьем», так и посредством видеозаписей и телемостов с европейскими телестудиями. Третью группу образуют музыкальные номера советских певцов и композиторов, но в отношении которых возникала иллюзия их принадлежности к зарубежной эстраде. На советской сцене популярные зарубежные песни подвергались языковой и тематической адаптации. Тем не менее особенности сценического имиджа зарубежных певцов и певиц, неизменно отходили от соцреалистического канона, характерного для популярных советских композиторов и исполнителей.

This study aims to investigate the capability improvement model of the recipient community of revolving fund assistance for the Slum City program, Bareallo Community Empowerment Agency, Rantepaku Village, North Toraja to reduce bad debts in the area. This study uses a qualitative case study research type where the case analyzed is bad debts that occur in the Bareallo Community Empowerment Agency, Rantepaku Village, North Toraja. The results of the study show that the distribution of revolving funds in Rantepaku goes through three main stages, namely membership in the Community Empowerment Group, having a business, and meeting administrative requirements. Payment constraints are triggered by a lack of financial transparency, indiscipline, and inappropriate use of funds. The strategy for handling bad debts is carried out through periodic collections and increasing awareness of payment responsibilities. The community feels the benefits of revolving funds, with easy access to education, health, and infrastructure, as well as guarantees of basic needs such as food, housing, and poverty control through four main programs.
Failure analysis of shorting issues in bipolar junction transistors circuit using Electron Beam Induced Current technique
Authors: Jacob Paul , MacMahon David , Kurinec Santosh
Published: February 2025

Electron Beam Induced Current (EBIC) technique is used for failure analysis of Integrated Circuits (ICs) and provides information beyond what is readily available with standard electrical device testing. EBIC utilizes an electron beam scanned across the device causing the generation of electron-hole pairs, which are separated by drift in the depletion region at a p-n junction layer, inducing a current that can be amplified and measured by probes. This study reports failure analysis conducted on bipolar junction transistor (BJT) circuits fabricated in-house, where electrical testing showed abnormal characteristics. EBIC measurements complemented with focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) revealed shorting between base resistors and p-type isolation regions. This was attributed to overetching of isolation oxide, allowing for corrections in the process flow and layout design, and successful refabrication and testing.
FRAME REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT DEATH/O’LIM /ÓLIM
Authors: GANIEVA Zukhra
Published: February 2025

This study explores the conceptual representation of death in English, Uzbek, and Karakalpak cultures through a frame analysis of the lexeme death. Using English thesauruses and cultural sources for Uzbek and Karakalpak languages, it examines how each culture categorizes death within unique slots: Causes, Funeral, Attributes, Participants, Places, and Services. English-speaking cultures emphasize secular and personal approaches, with diverse funeral types, while Uzbek and Karakalpak cultures hold more religious and communal perspectives governed by Islamic principles. The frame analysis reveals both universalities in causes (natural, accidental, intentional) and cultural divergences, such as attitudes toward practices like euthanasia, post-funeral rituals, and body preparation. This cross-cultural study provides insight into how beliefs, social values, and historical practices influence the perception and handling of death, underscoring its role in cultural identity and community integrity.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to evaluate the evolution of reticulocyte parameters in rats made anemic and treated with an aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaves. A total of 70 rats aged 8 to 16 weeks were divided into seven groups of ten rats each, composed equally of males and females. Anemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg body weight of phenylhydrazine (PHZ), administered twice a day for two days. Different doses of the aqueous extract (200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, 800 mg/kg, and 1600 mg/kg body weight) were administered, compared to a positive control group and a group treated with Ranferon®. Treatments were administered from day 3 to day 14, with blood samples taken on days 1, 3, 7, and 14. The reticulocyte parameters evaluated include reticulocyte count, immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He), reticulocyte production index (RPI), or corrected reticulocyte count (CRC). The results indicate significant correction of anemia by the aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera leaves as early as the seventh day of the experiment. The mean hemoglobin level of rats treated with the Moringa extract was 14.21±0.07 g/dL, and the mean reticulocyte rate was 4.27±0.30 %, unlike the positive control, which had a hemoglobin level of 10.8±0.46 g/dL and a reticulocyte rate of 8.76±0.39 %.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Spirulina (Spirulina platensis) supplementation on blood biochemical parameters during malnutrition and refeeding trials in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Thirty rats were divided into five groups, three of which received varying doses of Spirulina (10, 50, and 100 mg/kg) in addition to standard FACI® pellets. The experiment lasted 15 days, including a malnutrition phase followed by a refeeding phase. The results indicated significant recovery in body weight and blood biochemical parameters. The best outcomes were observed in rats that received 100 mg/kg of Spirulina. These findings suggest that Spirulina is a promising nutritional supplement for restoring malnutrition-induced abnormalities.
Potential Role of High-Flow Nasal Cannula in Optimizing Oxygenation during Thoracic Segmental Spinal Anesthesia
Authors: Paliwal Naresh Wamanrao , Khan Imran Ahmed , Chandra Richa
Published: February 2025

The application of thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia (TSSA) continues to expand, particularly in patients with respiratory comorbidities and those undergoing upper abdominal and thoracic procedures. While the use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is not an established method for maintenance of oxygenation during TSSA, it has the potential to optimize oxygen delivery, warranting further exploration. HFNC offers several clinical advantages over conventional oxygenation by providing a high flow of oxygen and thereby reducing the rebreathing of expired gases. HFNC also reduces work of breathing. Additionally, it generates a continuous low level of positive airway pressure, counteracting mild atelectasis and improving pulmonary mechanics, particularly in patients with limited respiratory reserve. These mechanisms suggest that HFNC could serve as a supportive measure in patients undergoing TSSA, particularly those undergoing upper abdominal and thoracic procedures with respiratory compromise.
Systems in the Making: The Role of Companies in Implementing Sustainability Policy and Reporting
Authors: Finch John H. , Li Xiang , Anderson Erika
Published: February 2025

This paper focuses on the implementation of corporate sustainability, or
Environment, Social and Governance, reporting. The introduction from 2023 of mandatory
reporting is a key milestone in sustainability. Adopting a comparative case method, we
identify as related case studies Materiality (in reporting), Transition (in corporate strategy),
and Stewardship (in fund management). We compare these by applying the theory-led
themes of system openness, the agency or power of coalitions in producing and acting upon
reports, contests in the qualification of key data, and through business exchanges related to
or enabled by sustainability reports. Drawing on a two-year applied project, we elaborate
upon policy, regulation, business and industrial markets, and business relationships. We find
that Materiality is the most stable and well-framed system. It produces key outcomes in
depicting a reporting company’s sustainability risks and opportunities. Transition is the most
open, influenced by global and jurisdiction task forces, for example tasked with achieving net
zero policy obligations. Stewardship in the UK articulates a set of principles, which guide
fund managers in engaging with investee companies. We conclude that sustainability policy
is at the same time setting in progress the forming of three systems, corresponding to this
paper’s three case studies. Each has its own development, function and sets of facts, though
each is beginning to achieve its function through interactions and exchanges with the other
two.

O colo uterino, devido às suas características anatômicas e histológicas, é suscetível a alterações benignas, tais como metaplasia escamosa, pólipos endocervicais e cervicite crônica, o rastreio dessas, por exames citopatológicos e histopatológicos, é essencial para a prevenção de lesões precursoras do câncer cervical. Este estudo, de caráter ecológico descritivo, utilizou dados do Sistema de Informação do Câncer (SISCAN) para descrever e analisar os diagnósticos histopatológicos dessas condições no Brasil entre 2019 e 2023, considerando sexo, raça/cor, faixa etária e caráter de atendimento. Os resultados mostraram predominância dos diagnósticos em mulheres cisgênero, mas também identificaram possíveis registros em homens trans. A metaplasia escamosa foi mais prevalente em mulheres jovens (30 a 44 anos), os pólipos endocervicais em mulheres acima de 35 anos, e a cervicite crônica foi a alteração mais frequente, com maior incidência em mulheres sexualmente ativas (25 a 49 anos). Discrepâncias nos diagnósticos por raça/cor sugerem desigualdades no acesso aos serviços de saúde. Conclui-se que o rastreamento e o manejo inclusivo são fundamentais, reforçando a necessidade de políticas públicas que promovam o acesso equitativo, ampliem a cobertura dos programas preventivos e garantam um atendimento ginecológico abrangente e de qualidade.

Based on the representation of the energy of a molecule as the sum of the energies of pairwise interactions of atoms and diatomic fragments of the corresponding compound, a method for calculating the standard enthalpies of formation and vaporization in the gas and liquid phases of X-substituted pyridine derivatives was developed. The formula for calculating the standard enthalpies of formation and vaporization in the gas and liquid phases of methyl-substituted pyridine derivatives contains seven constants. The calculated energy characteristics of methyl-substituted pyridine derivatives are in good agreement with the thermochemical experiment. The formula has predictive power

Prerequisites for implementing the concept of smart regional specialisation
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Prasolova Kristina
Published: February 2025

The work is devoted to studying the prerequisites for implementing the smart specialization of regions to increase their competitiveness, stimulate economic growth, and promote sustainable development. Smart specialization focuses on identifying the unique competitive advantages of regions and creating conditions for developing innovative and high-tech industries. The article analyzes the key principles and mechanisms for implementing this strategy, particularly the role of partnership between science, business, and government in forming regional development strategies. The emphasis is on adapting European experience to local conditions, which is necessary for achieving sustainable economic development. The analysis of the main challenges and risks that arise from a misunderstanding of the concept of smart specialization, in particular its identification with traditional regional specialization, is presented. The article explores different approaches to interpreting the concept of smart specialization and considers new terms and concepts that arise in this context. The institutional, economic, and social prerequisites for the successful implementation of smart specialization are considered, among which the availability of innovative infrastructure, financial support, educational and scientific potential, and close interaction between key stakeholders occupy a special place. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of Ukraine’s regional features, which, despite the presence of significant potential, faces several problems. In particular, the lack of institutional coordination, a unified methodology, and the weak innovative capacity of small and medium-sized businesses are noted. The article presents recommendations for improving the implementation of smart specialization in Ukraine. Among them, the need to form a modern legal environment, develop innovative infrastructure, stimulate entrepreneurial activity, and increase the educational level of personnel in strategic industries is emphasized. Examples of successful application of smart specialization in other countries are given, which can serve as a guideline for developing effective regional strategies. The study’s results significantly contribute to developing regional management theory and practice. They aim to ensure sustainable economic development, integrate Ukraine into the European innovation space, and create competitive conditions for regional growth.

Keywords: smart specialization, regional development, innovation, competitiveness, economic growth, partnership, intellectual capital, scientific research, sustainable development, investments, development strategy.
