A Systemist Examination of Civil Wars and Their Actors
Authors: Olson Lounsbery Marie
Published: January 2025

This article focuses intently on three pieces of civil war research and how they interact with each other to improve our understanding of the dynamic nature of warring actors. Patrick Regan’s book, entitled Sixteen Million One, delves into the conditions under which civil wars emerge by focusing intently on why individual actors take up arms to form a rebel faction. Research by Olson Lounsbery and Cook illuminates the challenge of these actors operating in a cohesive manner when they are faced with decisions to negotiate, while additional research by Olson Lounsbery presents the conditions under which previously splintered factions would once again unite. Each piece is presented through a systemist graphic approach. Doing so helps demonstrate how they interact with one another to improve our knowledge in the field of civil war studies. The article concludes with lessons learned through the application of systemism.

Authors: Karakuş Yusuf , Onat Gökhan , Sarıgül Yılmaz Dila
Published: January 2025

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of individuals’ climate change risk perceptions on artificial meat and edible insect diffusion optimism and the mediating role of food neophobia in these effects. The findings of this study are important because of the contribution that the preference behavior of innovative foods for mitigating the impact of climate change and managing climate change-induced food shortages can make within the framework of the Protection Motivation Theory. Türkiye was selected as the research region. The data obtained using quantitative analysis methods were transformed into findings through statistical analysis (such as structural equation modeling). This study revealed that individuals with high climate change risk perception evaluate alternative protein sources such as artificial meat and edible insects more positively. Food neophobia does not play an important role in these trends. This study emphasizes the importance of sustainable food consumption in combating climate change. To promote the spread of alternative protein sources, such as artificial meat and edible insects, individuals’ risk perceptions need to be increased, and food neophobia needs to be reduced. In this context, it is recommended to increase public awareness of climate change and develop educational programs. This study has the potential to contribute to the development of strategies to promote sustainable food consumption behaviors.

Authors: Zhao Kai , Liu Jialin , Shan Haonan
Published: January 2025

This study employs data from publicly listed enterprises spanning the years 2008 to 2021 and uses China’s Smart City Pilot Policy (SCPP) as a quasi-natural experiment to explore its impact on driving green technological innovation within enterprises. The results reveal that the SCPP significantly fosters improvements in enterprises’ green technology innovation. The policy’s impact is particularly notable for state-owned enterprises, those in high-pollution industries, and technology-intensive enterprises located in the eastern regions of China. The SCPP facilitates green technological innovation by promoting green finance development, advancing digital transformation within enterprises, and strengthening environmental regulations. Moreover, the business environment serves as a positive moderator in enhancing the policy’s effectiveness, with favorable conditions in government, market, and legal frameworks further amplifying the policy’s positive influence on green technology innovation in enterprises.

Authors: Fischetti Elisa , Beni Claudio , Santangelo Enrico , Bascietto Marco
Published: January 2025

This study coupled precision agriculture with agroecology to improve the agricultural systems’ sustainability in a climate variability context, characterized by fewer rainy days and more extreme events. A three-year comparative analysis was carried out in a durum wheat rotation, divided into two plots of 2.5 ha each, one managed with conventional methods (CP, sunflower as intermediate crop) and another managed with an agroecological approach (AE, field bean as green manure crop), featuring prescription maps for site-specific mineral fertilization. The statistical analysis of durum wheat parameters, soil characteristics, and economic variables was conducted alongside the examination of climatic data. In AE soil, the exchangeable calcium was statistically different from CP soil (6044 mg kg−1 and 5660 mg kg−1, respectively). Cation exchange capacity was significantly higher in AE (32.7 meq 100 g−1), compared to CP (30.9 meq 100 g−1). In AE, wheat yield (2.36 t ha−1) was higher than in CP (2.07 t ha−1), despite extreme rainfall causing flooding in some parts of the AE plot. The economic balance was only 6% in favor of CP (EUR + 2157), confirming the AE approach’s resilience (EUR + 2027), despite the higher costs of cover cropping and site-specific fertilization. The novelty of integration between “smartish” precision agriculture and agroecology allows for sustainable management.

Authors: Lovello Erica Maria , Valente Donatella , Petrosillo Irene
Published: January 2025

Land-take leads to the loss of natural and semi-natural areas. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights the important role played by land-take and degradation mitigation to promote sustainable cities. This research aims to assess (1) the temporal dynamics of land-take and land degradation, (2) their spatial configuration, and (3) their ecological effects in three Italian urban landscapes. Spatial analyses from 2006 to 2022 reveal a significant urban sprawl, with an increase in land-take across all municipalities, with the highest land-take per capita in Nardò, higher than the national value. The land-take patterns showed the highest aggregation in Galatone, the smallest municipality. This municipality showed the highest percentage of degraded land (60% of the total area), followed by Lecce (about 47%) and then Nardò (about 42%), where it is possible to notice several areas of improvements (743 ha) scattered throughout the landscape. Degraded areas have increasingly impacted natural areas (25% in Lecce, 22% in Galatone, and 10% in Nardò). The results are discussed in terms of methodology limitations and policy-making implications, highlighting the important role of tools like Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in assessing the coherence of landscape plans with sustainable development targets.
Logarithmic Separable Solutions of Force-Free Magnetic Fields in Plane-Parallel and Axial Symmetry
Authors: Gourgouliatos Konstantinos N.
Published: January 2025

This work introduces a systematic method for identifying analytical and semi-analytical solutions of force-free magnetic fields with plane-parallel and axial symmetry. The method of separation of variables is used, allowing the transformation of the non-linear partial differential equation, corresponding to force-free magnetic fields, to a system of decoupled ordinary differential equations, which nevertheless, are in general non-linear. It is then shown that such solutions are feasible for configurations where the electric current has a logarithmic dependence to the magnetic field flux. The properties of the magnetic fields are studied for a variety of physical parameters, through solution of the systems of the ordinary differential equations for various values of the parameters. It is demonstrated that this new logarithmic family of solutions has properties that are highly distinct from the known linear and non-linear equations, as it allows for bounded solutions of magnetic fields, for periodic solutions and for solutions that extend to infinity. Possible applications to astrophysical fields and plasmas are discussed as well as their use in numerical studies, and the overall enrichment of our understanding of force-free configurations.

Published: January 2025

Bacillus anthracis is a deadly pathogen that under unfavourable conditions forms highly resistant spores which enable them to survive for a long period of time. Spores of B. anthracis are transmitted through the contaminated soil or animal products and enter to the host through the skin, lungs or oral route and can cause cutaneous, injection, inhalation and gastrointestinal anthrax, respectively. The disease is caused by the toxin which is produced by them once they germinate within the host cell. Anthrax toxin is the major virulence factor which has the ability to kill the host cell. The role of protein kinases and phosphatases of B. anthracis in toxin production and other virulence related properties have also been reported. There are two vaccines, BioThrax and CYFENDUSTM, which are approved by the FDA-USA to prevent anthrax disease. Recently, anthrax toxin has also been shown to be a potential candidate for cancer therapeutics. Through present review, we aim to provide insights into sporulation, transmission and pathogenesis of B. anthracis as well as the current state of its prevention, treatment, vaccines and possible therapeutic uses in cancer.

Published: January 2025

Whole transcriptome amplification (WTA2) and sequence-independent single primer amplification (SISPA) are two widely used methods for combined metagenomic sequencing of RNA and DNA viruses. However, information on the reproducibility and bias of these methods on diverse viruses in faecal samples is currently lacking. A mock community (MC) of diverse viruses was developed and used to spike faecal samples at different concentrations. Virus-like particles (VLPs) were extracted, nucleic acid isolated, reverse-transcribed, and PCR amplified using either WTA2 or SISPA and sequenced for metagenomic analysis. A bioinformatics pipeline measured the recovery of MC viruses in replicates of faecal samples from three human donors, analysing the consistency of viral abundance measures and taxonomy. Viruses had different recovery levels with VLP extraction introducing variability between replicates, while WTA2 and SISPA produced comparable results. In comparing WTA2- and SISPA-generated libraries, WTA2 gave more uniform coverage depth profiles and improved assembly quality and virus identification. SISPA produced more consistent abundance, with a 50% difference between replicates occurring in ~20% and ~10% of sequences for WTA2 and SISPA, respectively. In conclusion, a bioinformatics pipeline has been developed to assess the methodological variability and bias of WTA2 and SISPA, demonstrating higher sensitivity with WTA2 and higher consistency with SISPA.

This study aimed to provide insights into the main causes of postmortem carcass and organ condemnations in a pig slaughterhouse and evaluate the resulting financial impact of the rejection of edible parts of animals. A population of 307,866 pigs, admitted for slaughter between January 2021 and December 2022 in a Bavarian abattoir, was studied. Regarding the examined carcasses, 2.09% (n = 6422) presented pathological conditions. Of these, 8.12% (n = 522) and 91.88% (n = 5900) were totally and partially confiscated, respectively. The main reason for the complete rejection of carcasses was the occurrence of generalized diseases (62.6%), while the presence of abscesses and traumatic and/or tail lesions was the most frequently implicated (70.7%) in partial condemnations. In the case of the organs, 17.59% (n = 54,145) presented abnormalities, with distributions of 14.71% (n = 45,290), 1.94% (n = 5968), 0.72% (n = 2213), and 0.22% (n = 674) within the examined liver, lung, kidney, and heart specimens, respectively. The principal reasons for liver, lung, kidney, and heart condemnations were the occurrence of parasitic diseases (53.4%), bacterial/viral infections (63.5%), dystrophies/anomalies (98.4%), and bacterial/viral infections (98.5%), respectively. The total financial loss attributable to carcass and organ condemnations was estimated at EUR 392,744.2, which represents 0.40% of the total achievable net revenue without rejections. Of this, EUR 197,120 (0.20%) and EUR 195,624.2 (6.95%) were related to carcass and offal seizures, respectively. The study results offer useful information for veterinarians, stockowners, and epidemiologists to make and set up policies to increase the efficiency and benefits of the swine production system and protect public health.
Assessment of Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Dal Lake’s Trophic State
Authors: Ali Irfan , Neverova-Dziopak Elena , Kowalewski Zbigniew
Published: January 2025

The ecosystem of Dal Lake, an important freshwater lake in Srinagar, India, has been rapidly degraded in recent decades due to intensified eutrophication. The main causes of eutrophication were determined to be different types of human activities in the catchment area and its inappropriate development as well as excessive loads of pollutants introduced into the lake. The heightened algal blooms brought significant water quality deterioration, a reduction in indigenous fish populations, and a general disturbance of the ecological balance of the lake. Such changes adversely influenced the living conditions of the inhabitants depending on the lake for tourism, fishing, and other economic pursuits. The aim of the research was the evaluation of the specificity of the course and spatio-temporal dynamics of Dal Lake eutrophication process on the base of accurate assessment of its actual trophic state. The applied assessment methodology was based on the biotic balance approach. As an indicator of the biotic balance in water, the Index of Trophic State (ITS) was chosen and adopted for the conditions of the lake ecosystem in humid subtropical climate conditions. The assessment was based on data from a five-year lake monitoring period (2019–2023) and analyzed for four lake basins: Hazaratbal, Nishat, Nagin, and Gagribal. The results indicated a steady increase in the lake’s trophic status, with the Hazaratbal basin evolving from mesotrophic to eutrophic, while the other basins progressed from meso-eutrophic to eutrophic during the research period. At the end of the research period, the whole lake was classified as eutrophic, with a modest inclination towards heightened eutrophication severity. The research underscores the pressing need for elaboration of a holistic lake management approach, where ITS, which has proven to be a valuable and reliable express-monitoring tool, can be used for obtaining information necessary for solving different applied tasks for protection and conservation strategies.
The Use of Hierarchical Temporal Memory and Temporal Sequence Encoder for Online Anomaly Detection in Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems
Authors: Malits Roman , Mendelson Avi
Published: January 2025

This study introduces a novel, practical approach for designing a hierarchical online anomaly detection system for industrial cyber-physical systems. The proposed method utilizes the Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) unsupervised learning algorithm, which requires data to be encoded as sparse binary distributed representations (SDRs). A new SDR encoding method termed the temporal sequence encoder (TSSE) is presented to convert system outputs into SDRs. This approach enables HTM to retain high memory capacity and robust performance when processing data streams of slowly varying physical measurements, typical of many industrial processes. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated on the Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) dataset, which comprises data collected from a fully operational, scaled-down water treatment plant. The system achieves a recall of 0.906, a precision of 0.935, and an F1 score of 0.92 on SWaT. Compared to previous methods, our approach achieves state-of-the-art recall (~5.3% improvement), along with competitive precision and F1 score, by learning in an online manner without the need for expensive dataset collection, labeling, or retraining phases. These findings suggest that the proposed online anomaly detection method can be effectively applied to a broad range of water treatment and large-scale industrial cyber-physical systems.

Water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change and increasing agricultural water demands, highlights the necessity for efficient irrigation management. This study focused on estimating actual evapotranspiration (ETa) in watermelons under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions by integrating high-resolution satellite imagery and agro-meteorological data. Field experiments were conducted in Rutigliano, southern Italy, over a 2.80 ha area. ETa was measured with the eddy covariance (EC) technique and predicted using machine learning models. Multispectral reflectance data from Planet SuperDove satellites and local meteorological records were used as predictors. Partial least squares, the generalized linear model and three machine learning algorithms (Random Forest, Elastic Net, and Support Vector Machine) were evaluated. Random Forest yielded the highest predictive accuracy with an average R2 of 0.74, RMSE of 0.577 mm, and MBE of 0.03 mm. Model interpretability was performed through permutation importance and SHAP, identifying the near-infrared and red spectral bands, average daily temperature, and relative humidity as key predictors. This integrated approach could provide a scalable, precise method for watermelon ETa estimation, supporting data-driven irrigation management and improving water use efficiency in Mediterranean horticultural systems.

Published: January 2025

Латентна злочинність, як соціально небезпечне явище, притаманна усім видам кримінальних правопорушень. Метою наукової статті є встановлення фактичного стану реальних масштабів латентної злочинності військових кримінальних правопорушень для усвідомлення негативних наслідків та визначення дієвих (ефективних) заходів протидії досліджуваної злочинності. В науковій статті досліджено визначення латентної злочинності в цілому з метою звуження її поняття до безпосередньо латентної злочинності військових кримінальних правопорушень.

В науковій статті розглянуто латентну злочинність військових кримінальних правопорушень, на прикладі ст. 425 КК «Недбале ставлення до військової служби», для встановлення її фактичного стану реальних масштабів, усвідомлення негативних наслідків та дієвих (ефективних) заходів протидії досліджуваної злочинності. До негативних наслідків латентної злочинності військових кримінальних правопорушень автором було визначено наступні: неможливість реалізації принципу невідворотності кримінальної відповідальності та покарання, що може призвести до вчинення нових кримінальних правопорушень; зменшує досягнення поставлених перед покаранням цілей; зменшує ефективність державної політики в протидії військових кримінальних правопорушень; не відшкодування завданої шкоди; неможливість усвідомлення кількісних та якісних показників злочинності війсь-кових кримінальних правопорушень, її фактичний розмір, тощо. Дослідження питання латентної злочинності військових кримінальних правопору-шень є необхідним для визначення дієвих заходів протидії досліджуваної злочинності.

До ефективних заходів протидії злочинності військових кримінальних правопору-шень автором вбачається реалізація кримінально – правовою політикою держави у разі зменшення рівня латентної злочинності досліджуваних кримінальних правопорушень. Лише усвідомлення кількісних та якісних показників злочинності військових кримінальних правопорушень, її фактичний розмір визначить дієві заходів протидії злочинності.

Implementation of Game-Based Learning in Educational Contexts: Challenges and Intervention Strategies
Authors: Yaman Havva , Sousa Carla , Neves Pedro Pinto , Luz Filipe
Published: January 2025

In addition to being a fundamental part of human culture, games are also important for social interaction, personal growth, and development. These premises have led to a growing body of research on game-based learning (GBL) as a pedagogical advance in both formal and informal education. Even though GBL has many potential benefits, some challenges need to be taken into account while developing and implementing GBL. In this context, the goal of this study is to accomplish two goals: (a) map the primary barriers encountered when applying GBL approaches in educational settings; and (b) provide an intervention diagram that links each kind of barrier with potential strategies to overcome it. To achieve these aims, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried out using the PRISMA criteria and methodology. This includes procedures for eligibility and screening that were based on inclusion criteria that were established with the goals of the research. The analysis of the articles obtained for the systematic review reveals four different types of barriers to more regular GBL implementations. These barriers include (1) behavioural and attitudinal barriers; (2) school policy barriers; (3) material and technology barriers; and (4) barriers related to game literacy. Based on these barriers, we propose certain methodological strategies that might help practitioners get beyond the identified barriers. The strategies include: (a) adopting a participatory-driven and co-creation approach; (b) carefully considering whether to use digital, analogue, or hybrid games; (c) using a range of educational actors in the process; and (d) pushing for GBL training in projects. It is possible to argue that attitudinal barriers are related to the other barriers that have been discussed. For example, material barriers affect teachers’ belief that there are currently not enough suitable educational games. Although policy makers’ attitudes can be examined as a part of the macro-level attitudinal barriers, the effectiveness of their measures in the daily educational context is influenced by a separate set of barriers, which will now be investigated. Assessment literacy in GBL refers to teachers’ beliefs about adopting games and how these affect students’ motivation and cognitive development and is similar to an attitudinal aspect. In line with this result, it can be stated the potential strategies are also interrelated. Co-creative processes can be enhanced by integrating a multi-stakeholder approach to GBL, where finalized entertainment works successfully reflect the experiences of all participants.

We consider the problem of the theory of function approximation concerning the analysis of linear summation methods of Fourier series, namely finding the optimal ones in one sense or another. To determine the optimal approximation order, the authors solve two important problems. First, the Gauss–Weierstrass operator is proved to be a saturated method, and its saturation order is found; second, saturation classes for this method are found.

Keywords: optimization properties of functions, Gauss–Weierstrass operator, saturation order, saturation class.

The paper presents a new mathematical model for solving a static skew-symmetric boundary-value problem for a layer weakened by two through holes with sliding sealing of its ends. A new method based on a system of six singular integral equations has been developed and tested numerically. As a result of a high-precision numerical study, it was found that with a decrease in the center-to-center distance or PoissonвЂ™s ratio, an increase in the relative circumferential stress occurs. And with an increase in the PoissonвЂ™s ratio, the maximum relative circumferential stress shifts from the bases of the layer to its depth. Under certain combinations of parameters, the effect of the presence of the second hole in the layer ceases to affect. The corresponding values are given. The paper presents the respective dependency graphs.

Keywords: three-dimensional boundary-value problems, singular integral equations, numerical experiment, static bending, through holes.

The author has proposed an improvement of the Berlekamp–Massey method when used for searching periodicities in bitstreams with errors. The essence of the improvement is another splitting of а bitstream into blocks, using a consistent bit shift before every parameter processing, and making decisions about the register’s length and feedback polynomial based on proposed mathematical formulas.

Keywords: linear feedback shift register, register length, feedback polynomial, bitstream, Berlekamp–Massey method.

This paper addresses the problem of the relationship between the correctness of the event diagram of distributed computing from the standpoint of communication between local processes of this computing and the existence of a logical clock for that diagram. The problem is analyzed using The Coq Proof Assistant software without assuming the fairness of the principle of excluded middle. That is, the obtained results are correct from the point of view of constructive logic, which is essential for computer science. It has been formally proved that the existence of a logical clock for distributed computing ensures the irreflexivity of the causal relation related to that computing. The conjecture about the fairness of the converse statement has been claimed.

Keywords: distributed computing, cloud platform, blockchain, digital distributed ledgers, global time, logical clock, event ordering.

A mathematical description of the adaptive signal processing procedures, providing the optimal approximation of the input influence to the sample signal according to Wiener’s algorithm, is given. Approximate methods providing practical realization of beamforming in a multisignal mode based on iterative algorithms of correlation matrix reversal are considered, and the convergence analysis of these algorithms is given. The results of constructing an 8-element antenna array with double linear polarization of radiation and a uniform radiation pattern in the range of operating angles are presented. The resulting radiation patterns of the antenna array in an anechoic chamber, providing adaptive signal processing, are given. The results of in-situ experiments show an acceptable coincidence of theoretical and experimental data.

Bu çalışma, canine distemper virüs enfeksiyonuna yakalanmış yavru köpeklerde sekonder bakteriyel enfeksiyonların hayvan davranışları üzerine olumsuz etkileri ve hastalığın prognozuna etkisinin incelenmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma, Hatay Alfa Vet Veteriner Kliniği’nde Haziran 2023 - Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüş olup toplam 35 yavru köpeğin bazı davranışları takip edilmiştir. Çalışmada canin distemper virüs enfeksiyonuna yakalanan yavru köpeklerde ölüm oranı % 28,6 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sekonder bakteriyel enfeksiyonların olaya müdahil olması ölüm oranını arttırmıştır (% 43). Yaş ve ırkın bakteriyel ve viral hastalıklara yakalanma ihtimalini arttırmasına ek olarak ölüm oranını pozitif etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Viral enfeksiyona sahip köpeklerde merkezi sinir sistemi rahatsızlıkları ve anormal davranışlar gözlenmiştir. Sekonder bakteriyel enfeksiyonların hastalığın şiddetini, semptomlarını ve davranış bozukluklarını arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Uygun bakım besleme, hijyen kurallarına uyma, bireysel barındırma ve düzenli aşı programları ile bakteriyel ve viral enfeksiyonların önüne geçilebileceği belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, sekonder bakteriyel enfeksiyonların viral enfeksiyonların şiddetini ve ölüm oranını arttırdığı, enfeksiyonlara sahip olan hayvanların anormal davranışlar geliştirdiği ve hastalıklardan korunmanın tedaviden daha önemli olduğu belirlenmiştir.
