Authors: HRANIAK Valerii , TOKARCHUK Oleksii
Published: January 2025

Technological progress is characterized by the continuous expansion of automation across all areas of human activity, transitioning from partial automation to comprehensive automation, and then from comprehensive automation to full automation, which ensures the highest technical and economic efficiency.
This work develops a generalized concept for implementing a microprocessor-based temperature monitoring and control system for greenhouse complexes. It is characterized by high adaptability to the size and needs of greenhouse enterprises, as well as high flexibility in applying primary temperature measurement transducers from different types and manufacturers. The mentioned microprocessor system is designed for use as both a subsystem for automated climate control of a greenhouse complex and as a standalone system for monitoring the temperature distribution gradient within the greenhouse.
The architecture and a generalized prototype of the software for the temperature monitoring system in greenhouse complexes have been developed. This system can be used in the construction of climate control systems for greenhouse complexes. In each section of the greenhouse, the air temperature is controlled at 6 measurement points, and the soil temperature is monitored at 6 measurement points. The data from the sensors are processed according to several algorithms – for each sensor, for a group of sensors, autonomously by the microprocessor controller (with only alarm messages transmitted to the operator station), or by the operator station, with continuous transmission of real-time data from the microprocessor controller.
The system's modular design allows for easy scaling and integration with other greenhouse management technologies, making it suitable for various agricultural applications.
PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYDROGEN ENERGY: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AS THE KEY TO REDUCING THE PRICE OF “GREEN” HYDROGEN
Authors: KRAVETS Svetlana
Published: January 2025

The article considers the prospects for the development of hydrogen energy, in particular, the application of hydrogen production technology based on water splitting using the latest electrolysis technologies. Particular attention is paid to the innovative methodology proposed by the Israeli company H2Pro, which promises a significant reduction in the cost of "green" hydrogen by 2030 to the level of less than $1 per kilogram. This reduction in hydrogen prices by 60-80% will make it more competitive in the energy market, which can lead to widespread adoption of hydrogen technologies in various sectors of the economy.
The technology developed by H2Pro uses the E-TAC (Electrochemical Thermally Activated Chemical Water Splitting) method, which consists of a two-step process for the production of hydrogen and oxygen. The first stage involves cold electrochemical splitting of water, which generates hydrogen and oxidizes the anode, while the second stage, thermally activated, regenerates the anode by releasing oxygen, without the need for additional electricity consumption. This technology makes it possible to reduce energy costs and increase the efficiency of the process, reaching an efficiency of 95%, which is a significant achievement in the field of hydrogen energy.
The author of the article also draws attention to the importance of this achievement for the global transition to renewable energy sources. In particular, reducing the cost of hydrogen production with the help of such technologies can provide cheaper energy production than traditional energy carriers such as gasoline and diesel, and also become a key factor in the implementation of ambitious environmental initiatives aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
In addition to technological innovation, the article also discusses the need for infrastructure development for the storage, transportation and use of hydrogen, which remains one of the main barriers to its large-scale use. However, thanks to the efforts of companies such as H2Pro, which are actively working on improving production processes and reducing costs, hydrogen energy has a great chance of becoming an integral part of the energy system of the future.
Thus, the development of hydrogen energy technologies, such as E-TAC, is an important step on the way to ensuring a clean and sustainable energy supply, which will contribute to reducing the environmental impact and ensuring the sustainable development of the world economy in the face of global climate change.

Published: January 2025

An analysis of the design features and technological processes of the functioning of working bodies intended for One of the main areas of use of renewable energy sources in Ukraine is biomass energy. The bioenergy industry in Ukraine has the greatest development potential. This is due to the peculiarities of the climate, the potential of the agricultural sector and the availability of the necessary labor force. The greatest energy potential in Ukraine is possessed by such types of biomass as agricultural crops. Among the promising crops for green energy, both in the world and in Ukraine, energy willow is distinguished. Willow plantations are established in an area of sufficient moisture with a high level of groundwater.
The article is devoted to the problem of harvesting and saving means of drying crushed willow mass for further use. In today's conditions, the problem of energy resources arises in the winter period. The production of solid types of biofuels - granules and briquettes - has gained the greatest development in Ukraine. The main raw materials for the production of solid biofuels are woodworking industry waste (sawdust, chips), straw of grain and leguminous crops, sunflower husks, etc. The production of such raw materials is unstable and seasonal, which negatively affects the efficiency of solid biofuel production plants.
Energy willow is the main energy bioculture grown in agriculture. Willow is a fast-growing tree, the crushed mass of which is used to produce energy, and it is also an environmentally friendly raw material for the production of fuel pellets and briquettes suitable for burning in boilers.
Based on comprehensive scientific research, taking into account biological, agrotechnical, technological and economic features, elements of the technology for growing energy willow in different agroclimatic zones of Ukraine have been developed. As a result, a technology for growing energy willow has been developed for the first time, which ensures a yield of biological raw materials of 40-70 t/ha and its use.
Given the high importance of using energy willow as a solid biofuel, its harvesting and processing are of great importance in the technology.

Authors: SHVETS Lyudmila , PAVLYUK Daryna
Published: January 2025

Modern technologies in agriculture are actively aimed at increasing the efficiency of processing garden plantings, which provides optimal conditions for the growth and development of plants. One of the key operations in tree care is regular pruning of branches, which helps to rejuvenate the garden and increase productivity. However, traditional pruning methods are time-consuming and require significant investment of time and resources. In addition, after cutting a branch, there is a need for further processing of the cut material, which adds additional operations.
In order to increase productivity and reduce labor costs, there is a need to develop universal mechanisms capable of performing several operations simultaneously. This work presents the development of an innovative unit that provides simultaneous cutting of garden branches, grinding of material and its incorporation into the soil. This approach not only simplifies the process of disposal of organic waste, but also increases soil fertility by enriching it with organic substances. Thus, the use of this unit can significantly increase the effectiveness of agrotechnical measures in horticulture.
The article presents the development and research of a unit for cutting garden branches with simultaneous grinding of material and its incorporation into the soil. The structural features of the mechanism and the principle of its operation are described. The main advantages of using the unit are analyzed, including increasing the efficiency of pruning, reducing the cost of manual labor and improving the condition of the soil thanks to the use of crushed organic material as fertilizer. The unit's performance was evaluated based on experimental studies and recommendations for its use in horticulture were given.
By integrating branch pruning, grinding, and soil incorporation into a single process, it minimizes the environmental impact of traditional methods. Furthermore, the unit's design prioritizes energy efficiency and ease of use, making it a practical solution for both small-scale and large-scale horticultural enterprises.

The fleeting gestures of conductors in Hugo Boettinger’s drawings

The study, based on the example of several conductor personalities whom the painter Hugo Boettinger (1880–1934) met, presents the most typical feature and source of inspiration of the author’s work – the ability to capture the typical features of human movement, both in direct sketches during concerts and from memory with the passage of time. The painter had great admiration for conductors. Already as a boy he saw concerts conducted by Antonín Dvořák and Karel Kovařovic. After completing his studies at the Academy, he went on a study trip to Paris and London in 1906, where, thanks to his supporter Count Lützow, he had the opportunity to meet the leading conducting personalities of the early twentieth century music. If his health permitted, Boettinger was a regular visitor to Prague concerts and had the opportunity to see both Czech conductors, of whom Václav Talich became his friend, and the world’s leading conductors who performed in Prague – Alexander Zemlinsky, Wihelm Furtvängler, Arthur Nikisch, Bernardino Molinari, Richard Strauss etc. The article is dedicated to the one hundred and tenth anniversary of the artist’s death.
A review on upper respiratory tract infection
Authors: K Vijaya Sree , K Saranya , JK Vandana singh , P Narayana Swamy , Y Ramesh , Y Prapurna Chandra
Published: January 2025

Upper respiratory tract infection (URI) is a general term for a heterogeneous group of illnesses caused by numerous etiologic agents that affect the mucosal lining of the upper respiratory tract, including the middle-ear cavity and par nasal sinuses. URIs are primarily caused by viruses, rhinoviruses being the most common etiological agents. Respiratory viruses transmit easily via direct contact or aerosols. The incidence of URI is highest in children who suffer 6–8 infections per year. The main symptoms of URI are nasal blockage and discharge, sneezing, sore throat, and cough. Fever occurs variably, most commonly in children. Viral URIs often predispose to bacterial complications. Acute otitis media is the most common complication in children, whereas sinusitis and pneumonia are more frequent in adults and the elderly. The treatment of URI is mainly symptomatic because specific antiviral are available only for influenza viruses. Antibiotics have no efficacy for viral URI but are commonly used for treating acute otitis media and sinusitis. Most URIs are self-limited illnesses with an average duration of 7–10 days and an excellent prognosis.

How can FinTech achieve sustainable finance goals? A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Nila Sari Pratiwi , Tumiur Mauli Carolin Simorangkir Rona
Published: January 2025

The research question (RQ) in this article is “How can FinTech achieve sustainable finance goals”. According to RQ, we try to identify it through a systematic literature review. We identified articles related to fintech and sustainable finance published between 2019 to 2022. A systematic review is a type of research methodology that seeks to assess, locate, and examine all prior findings that are pertinent to a specific topic, research question, or emerging phenomenon. The review was conducted using a systematic review approach with PRISMA criteria, based on a thorough examination of pertinent literature (research articles, policy documents, and reports). Fintech & sustainable finance is the article least discussed by publishers, this is interesting because there is still minimal exploration of this issue. The articles that discuss fintech and sustainable finances from 2019 until 2022 only have 1 article namely 2020. From the results of the literature review that has been carried out,it can be seen that research journals discussing fintech and sustainable finance are still very rare, so it can be recommended that future researchers take research topics on fintech and sustainable finance.

In this Letter, we investigate the turbulence and energy injection in the extended nebulae surrounding two luminous obscured quasars, WISEA J100211.29+013706.7 (z = 1.5933) and SDSS J165202.64+172852.3 (z = 2.9489). Utilizing high-resolution data from the NIRSpec integral field unit onboard the James Webb Space Telescope, we analyze the velocity fields of line-emitting gas in and around these quasars and construct the second-order velocity structure functions (VSFs) to quantify turbulent motions across different spatial scales. Our findings reveal a notable flattening in the VSFs from  ≈ 3 kpc up to a scale of 10–20 kpc, suggesting that energy injection predominantly occurs at a scale  ≲ 10 kpc, likely powered by quasar outflows and jet-driven bubbles. The extended spatial range of flat VSFs may also indicate the presence of multiple energy injection sources at these scales. For J1652, the turbulent energy in the host interstellar medium (ISM) is significantly higher than in tidally stripped gas, consistent with the expectation of active galactic nucleus (AGN) activities stirring up the host ISM. Compared to the VSFs observed on spatial scales of 10–50 kpc around lower-redshift UV-bright quasars, these obscured quasars exhibit higher turbulent energies in their immediate surroundings, implying different turbulence drivers between the ISM and halo-scale gas. Future studies with an expanded sample are essential to elucidate further the extent and the pivotal role of AGNs in shaping the gas kinematics of host galaxies and beyond.

Authors: Pancheva Ruzha , Toneva Albena , Bocheva Yana , Georgieva Miglena , Koleva Krassimira , Yankov Ivan
Published: January 2025

Aim: This study aims to explore the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) among children with cerebral palsy (CP) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Bulgaria, while analyzing associated demographic, nutritional, and biochemical factors.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Northeastern Bulgaria, involving 95 children (59 with CP and 36 with ASD). Vitamin D status was assessed using biochemical markers and categorized as deficient (<20 ng/mL), insufficient (20-29 ng/mL), or normal (≥30 ng/mL). Statistical comparisons were performed to identify differences across groups.

Results: VDD was prevalent in 29.4% of children with CP and 15.8% of those with ASD, with no significant intergroup differences (p=0.492). Demographic analysis revealed significant gender (p<0.001) and ethnic differences (p=0.006). Children with VDD exhibited lower height-for-age Z scores (p=0.002), weight-for-age Z scores (p=0.021), albumin levels (p<0.001), and lymphocyte counts (p=0.011). Normal ferritin levels alongside reduced transferrin and serum iron suggested protein synthesis deficits rather than depleted iron stores.

Conclusion: This study, which is the first in Bulgaria to address vitamin D deficiency in children with autism spectrum disorder and cerebral palsy, emphasizes the necessity of tailored interventions and nutritional support. The findings emphasize the role of biological and sociocultural factors in the prevalence of VDD, contributing valuable insights into pediatric health in moderate-climate regions.

Authors: Sergieva Sonya , Sofiyanski Teodor , Robev Bozhil , Dimcheva Milena , Fakirova Albena
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The absence of anatomical landmarks in the whole body scan makes it challenging to precisely localize 131I uptake, which is used to treat patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Recently, SPECT/CT studies have been utilized to increase the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical role of post-treatment 131I SPECT/CT imaging in the management of DTC.

Materials and methods: The study included 564 patients (384 women and 180 men) aged 12 to 83 years with DTC referred to our hospital between 2011 and 2021. A post therapeutic 131I whole-body scintigraphy (WBS) with SPECT/CT imaging was performed.

Results: 370 (65%) cases with papillary carcinoma, 101 (18%) cases with follicular carcinoma, and 93 (17%) cases with follicular variant of papillary DTC were histologically proven. 131I WBS was positive in 423 (75%) cases. SPECT/CT showed thyroid remnant in 237 (42%) patients, tumor persistence – in 15 (2.7%), and local recurrence in the thyroid bad in 17 (3%) cases. Enlarged cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes were visualized in 141 (25%) cases. Forty-eight (8.5%) patients had pulmonary metastases, 14 had osteolytic bone lesions and 6 (1.4%) had brain metastases detected on the SPECT/CT images. Negative 131I SPECT/CT data influenced significantly the clinical management of a large cohort with recurrent and metastatic DTC, leading to rejection of radioiodine treatment as a therapeutic alternative.

Conclusion: SPECT/CT improved the 131I WBS accuracy, thus changing the management of DTC determining indications for surgery, the need to give or withhold 131I therapy, and selecting cases for radiotherapy or chemotherapy in order to personalize the treatment.

L’égalité des chances comme prestation : une illustration du rôle croissant des acteurs privés
Authors: Pavie Alice
Published: January 2025

Malgré l’éviction de l’idée d’une fondation pour les quartiers prioritaires de la politique de la ville (QPV) envisagée dès 2014 par la loi Lamy et reprise dans le rapport Borloo de 2018, de plus en plus de projets associatifs sont financés par le privé, via des fondations d’entreprise ou des fonds de dotation. Dans un même temps, des associations financées par de grosses entreprises voient le jour pour intervenir auprès des habitants des QPV. Le secteur éducatif en est une illustration. Alice Pavie, docteure en sociologie, décrypte ce phénomène grandissant et nous donne à voir comment ces nouveaux acteurs de la politique de la ville interrogent la notion même de service public.

Par quoi la danse peut-elle choisir d’être affectée, mais aussi que pense-t-elle affecter, qu’affecte-t-elle réellement et de quelles manières ? Pour explorer ces questions, nous nous appuyons sur le récit analytique d’intentions portées et d’expériences vécues au cours de cette pratique chorégraphique située. Ce récit entrelace trois voix internes à l’action, celles de Laetitia Angot, chorégraphe, danseuse et habitante, de Chloé Kazemzadegan, danseuse, et de Marguerite Trabut, danseuse et chercheuse, ainsi que les témoignages d’invité·es et membres de La Permanence chorégraphique, Anna-Louise Milne, Ibrahim Elkehal, dit Brahim, et Jamal Al Fadli. Ce texte vise à souligner les horizons politiques de ces danses, à leur donner une portée au-delà de leur ancrage local, ainsi qu’à orienter et à aiguiser cette action, mais aussi d’autres, en cours ou à venir. La danse peut être politique, et en lutte, parce qu’elle s’inscrit dans des formes de mobilisations sociales classiques et les reconfigure, ou encore, comme ici, parce qu’elle fait advenir d’autres régimes d’action, collectifs, participatifs et transformationnels « en direction du monde tel qu’il pourrait devenir ».
Étude des Coopératives d’Activité et d’Emploi à partir des paradoxes organisationnels et de leur management
Authors: Botti Laurent , Gravez Maxime , Da Fonseca Marie
Published: January 2025

Les organisations sont confrontées à des exigences contradictoires que la littérature en sciences de gestion appelle des paradoxes organisationnels. Cette recherche enrichit cette littérature en l’ouvrant au cas de l’Économie Sociale et Solidaire et plus particulièrement aux Coopératives d’Activité et d’Emploi (CAE). Ces structures représentent une solution à l’entrepreneuriat tout en garantissant simultanément viabilité économique et démocratie. Cet article propose une identification des paradoxes présents et des modes de gestion de ces derniers. De nouveaux paradoxes qui exposent la complexité de la gestion des CAE sont ainsi mis en exergue.
Distance à la ville et (dé)croissance démographique des espaces ruraux français (1990-2015)
Authors: Oliveau Sébastien , Ndour Dieynaba , Doignon Yoann
Published: January 2025

Si la croissance générale de la population française est positive, on observe des différences de dynamiques qui reflètent à la fois des disparités régionales, mais aussi le rôle des villes dans la structuration spatiale des territoires. Les espaces en décroissance démographique sont nombreux, mais moins visibles. Beaucoup d’études ont souligné les décroissances internes aux villes, mais certains espaces ruraux connaissent depuis plusieurs décennies une baisse continue de leur population qui reste peu étudiée. Ce travail repose sur l’analyse diachronique des données censitaires françaises à l’échelle de la commune depuis les années 1990, en portant une attention particulière à la décennie 2010. Les résultats montrent la grande variété des situations régionales, mais aussi le rôle structurant des villes. Cela nous amène à relire les dynamiques de croissance observées selon le degré de proximité à la ville.
Quels impacts de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche française sur le développement économique des territoires ?
Authors: Gaté Romain , Louis Coline
Published: January 2025

L’évolution du rôle des établissements d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche (ESR) depuis les années 2000 interroge leur réel impact sur le développement économique régional français. Nous analysons dans quelles mesures les politiques de transfert de technologie en France, inspirées des politiques en matière de recherche publique américaines, sont bénéfiques à l’environnement économique local. Le nombre de brevets déposés entre 2000 et 2012 dans les départements français est utilisé comme un proxy de l’innovation locale. Nous montrons que les politiques de transfert de technologie comme le Bayh-Dole Act de 1980 aux États-Unis ou la loi de 2002 en Allemagne ne sont pas des instruments suffisants pour favoriser l’innovation locale à partir de la recherche effectuée au sein des établissements de l’ESR.
How Do We Actually Make a Diagnosis? Lessons Learned From the Bipolar Action Network
Authors: Nierenberg Andrew A. , Park Seon-Cheol
Published: January 2025

The Bipolar Action Network seeks to address the challenges in diagnosing bipolar disorder by bridging the gap between research and clinical practice through a systematic approach. The diagnostic method variability contributes to errors of omission, such as failing to identify hypomanic episodes in patients presenting with depression, and errors of commission, such as misinterpreting mood instability as bipolar symptoms. To improve diagnostic accuracy, the use of validated tools is encouraged, including the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), or Rapid Mood Screener (RMS), and the Bipolarity Index by Gary Sachs. These tools provide structured frameworks to capture the full spectrum of bipolar disorder. However, integration of these instruments into routine practice faces obstacles, such as lack of accessibility within electronic medical records and additional workload for clinicians. The Bipolar Action Network adopts a collaborative learning health network model, engaging patients, families, and clinicians to co-develop solutions. The network also prioritizes simplicity in its early phases, beginning with a user-friendly tool such as the Clinical Global Impression Scale–Severity for Bipolar Disorder. Practical concerns, including diagnosing comorbid conditions, minimizing patient burden, and streamlining workflows, remain central to ongoing efforts.

Heatwave Prediction on Era5 Data Using Deep Learning Techniques
Authors: Basak Abhishek , Pal Soumyajit
Published: January 2025

This chapter seeks to establish the usefulness of deep learning methods in heatwave prediction with the help of the ERA5 dataset. Heat waves, which are defined as periods of elevated temperature and humidity, are a critical concern because they affect the health of people, farming, water supply, and energy consumption. This study relies on state-of-the-art deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to predict heatwave cases. The data set utilized in this work is the ERA5-HEAT dataset; this is a high-resolution atmospheric reanalysis data set. In this paper, the process of data cleaning, temporal alignment, and spatial aggregation in handling large climate data sets has been described. More importantly, the idea of using deep learning models in capturing the temporal and spatial dependencies from meteorological data is well supported through real-life applications. Deep learning methods provide a higher level of accuracy and flexibility than traditional meteorological models.
Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Study of the Blue Economy and Marine Ecosystem
Authors: Mukherjee Sonia , Wamane Gopal , Pundkar Vishwajeet
Published: January 2025

There is no universal definition of the term Blue Economy. However, the term is being widely used in the recent times in the context of climate change and environmental degradation. The rapidly increase in the plastic pollution and damage caused to the aquatic lives including coral reefs have now been a prominent cause of concern. Worldwide all the notable economies derive a good amount of revenue from the marine ecosystem. However, the increase in the environmental damage have impacted on the livelihoods of many individuals relying on the marine ecosystem for their survival. All the economies are looking into all possible forms of remedies to save the degradation caused to the blue economy. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being gradually adopted by all the economies in the world for generation of clean energy, monitoring the data used for examining the marine ecosystem and minimizing the harm done through destructive fishing practices and detecting the damage from plastic pollution. The use of AI will help to minimize such activities by alerting the authorities in a timely manner.

Published: January 2025

Tijekom 2023. i početkom lipnja 2024. istraživana je flora pseudootočića Sv. Duh (1568 m2) u Novigradskom moru. Za vaskularnu floru pseudootočića zabilježene su 83 domaće i udomaćene svojte te uzgajani tamarisi. Sredozemni karakter flore Sv. Duha ogleda se u velikoj zastupljenosti svojti iz porodica Poaceae (16,87 %) i Fabaceae (13,25 %), te prevladavanju općemediteranskih biljaka (43,37 %) i svojti s visokim udjelom terofita (51,81 %). Na pseudootočiću smo utvrdili sedam strogo zaštićenih svojti od kojih su dvije ugrožene (Carex divisa i C. extensa), četiri osjetljive svojte (Desmazeria marina, Parapholis incurva, Salsola soda i Suaeda maritima) i u moru vrsta Cymodocea nodosa.

Digenea simplex (Wulfen) C. Agardh morska je makroalga čija prisutnost nije herbarijski dokumentirana na prostoru hrvatskog dijela Jadrana od kraja 19. stoljeća do nedavnog ponovnog nalaza 2021. u laguni u blizini naselja Funtana na zapadnoj obali Istre. Ovim radom objavljujemo novi nalaz ove vrste na području Rovinja. Nalaz je značajan za daljnja istraživanja biologije i ekologije vrste, a potencijalno je značajan i u praćenju odgovora svojti na klimatske promjene.
Responsabilidad civil de compañías que financian servicios de salud prepagada o seguros médicos en Ecuador
Authors: Loya Cárdenas Karen Viviana , Molleturo Jiménez Julio Adrián
Published: January 2025

La investigación aborda los mecanismos judiciales en Ecuador para determinar la responsabilidad civil de las compañías que ofrecen servicios de salud prepagada y seguros de atención médica cuando se causan perjuicios a los pacientes. El problema central es identificar la responsabilidad de las aseguradoras por daños ocasionados por prestadores de servicios de salud. El objetivo es describir los mecanismos legales para establecer dicha responsabilidad. La metodología empleada es de carácter exploratorio y documental, analizando la clasificación del derecho, el derecho de daños, la responsabilidad civil y el derecho de seguros. Como principales resultados, se destaca la falta de una guía clara por parte de las autoridades de control para supervisar las compañías aseguradoras, lo que podría generar insuficiencia probatoria en los procesos judiciales. La conclusión apunta a que esta deficiencia representa un riesgo significativo para las aseguradoras, ya que podría dificultar su exoneración de responsabilidad civil.
