Authors: Naicker Merishca , Naidoo Denver , Hlatshwayo Simphiwe Innocentia , Ngidi Mjabuliseni Simon
Published: January 2025

Smallholder vegetable farmers grow diverse crops for family use and surplus sales. These farming activities contribute to enhancing local food security and the economy, but the farmers face challenges like limited resources and climate vulnerability. These smallholder farmers are more susceptible to climate variability and therefore need effective adaptation strategies to mitigate the challenges. This study sought to determine the factors that influence the choice and level of adaptation strategies among smallholder vegetable farmers in KwaZulu Natal Province. Primary data utilized in this study were obtained from 200 participants that were selected through random sampling. The descriptive results indicated that the majority of the farmers experienced climate variability and employed carbon and water-smart agricultural practices. The study employed the Multivariate Probit Model and Count Data Model/GLM Correlation Test to analyze the adaptation strategies and the level of their implementation by the selected vegetable farmers. The first hurdle of the probit model results showed that education level and land size positively and significantly influence smallholder farmers’ adaptation strategies, while marital status, household size, income source, soil type, membership of the association, and supply chain involvement had a significant and negative effect on adoption of adaptation strategies. The results from the second hurdle showed that household size, the total size of land used for vegetable production, sandy, silt, and loam soil had a significant and negative effect on the level of adaptation strategy used, whilst the total size of land owned had a positive and significant impact on the level of adaptation strategy used by the smallholder vegetable farmers. The study concludes that education level and total land size are associated with improved farmers’ climate variability adaptative capacity. The vegetable farmers’ ability to adapt to climate variability challenges was negatively influenced by factors like marital status, household size, and soil type negatively impacted these strategies. The study recommends that the government considerably supports the Climate Smart Agriculture initiatives, such as alternatives like hot houses, training, credit access, and sustainable practices to enhance farmers’ resilience and national food security. These may include but are not limited to alternatives like hot houses, as well as addressing barriers through training, credit access, and sustainable practices to enhance farmers’ resilience and national food security.

Authors: Zhang Jiajia , Zhang Zonghao , Huang Meirong
Published: January 2025

Adolescent Physical Health is crucial for personal growth, family well-being, and the future of the nation, serving as an engine for healthier, sustainable social transformation. In recent years, the continuing decline in Adolescent Physical Health has become a global problem, with adolescents in various countries and regions facing different physical issues and challenges. The aim of this study is to explore the content structure, supply characteristics, and potential problems of current policies using a sample of Chinese Adolescent Physical Health policy documents in order to provide policy optimization recommendations for the promotion of Adolescent Physical Health, both in China and worldwide. Taking 33 Adolescent Physical Health policies enacted at the national level in China from 1979 to 2023 as a research sample, an analytical framework based on the three dimensions of policy tools, facilitating elements, and policy strength was constructed. Using the content analysis method, the policy texts were individually coded in order to analyze the content structure and supply characteristics of China’s Adolescent Physical Health policy, allowing research conclusions to be drawn and policy recommendations to be put forward. Through quantitative statistical analyses, we found that Chinese Adolescent Physical Health policies tend to use supply- and environment-side policy tools, while demand-side policy tools are less frequently used, leading to problems such as an over-reliance on supply-side policy tools and under-use of demand-side policy tools. Physical education teaching is dominant in the facilitating elements dimension, with an overall discrete distribution of characteristics. The types of policies are mainly notices, with a lack of strong normative documents such as laws, regulations, and statutes; therefore, the overall policy strength is weak. Accordingly, it is recommended that the top-level design of policy for Adolescent Physical Health promotion be continuously optimized in three key areas: enhancing the internal structure of policy instruments, improving the distribution of facilitating elements and policy tools, and strengthening the implementation of policies.

Published: January 2025

The energy sector plays a vital role in driving environmental and social advancements. Accurately predicting energy demand across various time frames offers numerous benefits, such as facilitating a sustainable transition and planning of energy resources. This research focuses on predicting energy consumption using three individual models: Prophet, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and long short-term memory (LSTM). Additionally, it proposes an ensemble model that combines the predictions from all three to enhance overall accuracy. This approach aims to leverage the strengths of each model for better prediction performance. We examine the accuracy of an ensemble model using Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) through means of resource allocation. The research investigates the use of real data from smart meters gathered from 5567 London residences as part of the UK Power Networks-led Low Carbon London project from the London Datastore. The performance of each individual model was recorded as follows: 62.96% for the Prophet model, 70.37% for LSTM, and 66.66% for XGBoost. In contrast, the proposed ensemble model, which combines LSTM, Prophet, and XGBoost, achieved an impressive accuracy of 81.48%, surpassing the individual models. The findings of this study indicate that the proposed model enhances energy efficiency and supports the transition towards a sustainable energy future. Consequently, it can accurately forecast the maximum loads of distribution networks for London households. In addition, this work contributes to the improvement of load forecasting for distribution networks, which can guide higher authorities in developing sustainable energy consumption plans.
Low-Concentration Hypochlorous Acid Drinking Water Alleviates Broiler Gut Microbial Load While Preserving Overall Growth Performance

Published: January 2025

Hypochlorous acid has been attempted as an additive to animal drinking water in practical animal farming processes for water microbial quality control. Despite its potential, there is still a knowledge gap concerning the effects of hypochlorous acid on both poultry growth performance and gut microbial load. To address this gap, an animal study was conducted using flow cytometry to quantify the age-related microbial load in broiler manure and gut contents. We observed that the effect on growth performance was sustained only during the starter phase, with no significant impact throughout the entire production cycle. The treatment could reduce the microbial load of both fresh broiler manure and cecal contents. Despite this convergence in the duodenum, significant differences in microbial loads between the control and treatment groups persisted in the manure and cecal contents throughout the later stages. Our findings demonstrate that consuming low-concentration hypochlorous acid water over the long term can lower the microbial load in the broiler gut throughout the entire growth cycle without impacting overall growth performance. Future research on drinking or feed additives should incorporate microbial absolute quantification methods to achieve a more precise assessment of microbiota.

Integrated Serosurveillance of Infectious Diseases Using Multiplex Bead Assays: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ward Selina , Lawford Harriet L. S. , Sartorius Benn , Lau Colleen L.
Published: January 2025

Integrated serological surveillance (serosurveillance) involves testing for antibodies to multiple pathogens (or species) simultaneously and can be achieved using multiplex bead assays (MBAs). This systematic review aims to describe pathogens studied using MBAs, the operational implementation of MBAs, and how the data generated were synthesised. In November and December 2023, four databases were searched for studies utilising MBAs for the integrated serosurveillance of infectious diseases. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data regarding the study settings and population, methodology, seroprevalence results, and operational implementation elements. Overall, 4765 studies were identified; 47 were eligible for inclusion, of which 41% (n = 19) investigated multiple malaria species, and 14% performed concurrent surveillance of malaria in combination with other infectious diseases (n = 14). Additionally, 14 studies (29%) investigated a combination of multiple infectious diseases (other than malaria), and seven studies examined a combination of vaccine-preventable diseases. Haiti (n = 8) was the most studied country, followed by Ethiopia (n = 6), Bangladesh (n = 3), Kenya (n = 3), and Tanzania (n = 3). Only seven studies were found where integrated serosurveillance was the primary objective. The synthesis of data varied and included the investigation of age-specific seroprevalence (n = 25), risk factor analysis (n = 15), and spatial analysis of disease prevalence (n = 8). This review demonstrated that the use of MBAs for integrated surveillance of multiple pathogens is gaining traction; however, more research and capabilities in lower- and middle-income countries are needed to optimise and standardise sample collection, survey implementation, and the analysis and interpretation of results. Geographical and population seroprevalence data can enable targeted public health interventions, highlighting the potential and importance of integrated serological surveillance as a public health tool.

Published: January 2025

Densely populated urban megacities, such as the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City, face the ongoing deterioration of air quality. Emissions from industrail factories and internal combustion vehicles are the main sources of pollutants. We have evaluated different transition trends from internal combustion engine vehicles as bus, truck and van, and motorcycle to electric vehicles through 2050. The total vehicle growth follows a second-degree polynomial trend. Bus growth exhibits a linear trend. Truck and van growth display a second-degree polynomial trend. Motorcycle growth also follows a second-degree polynomial trend. We found that the most significant reductions in transportation emissions are observed in CO2, followed by NOx, volatile organic compound (VOC), and particulate matter, with light and heavy vehicles being the primary contributors to total emissions. Mexico City serves as a pilot laboratory where both the challenges and potential solutions to an issue affecting millions of citizens can be observed. If proven effective and practical, these solutions could be applied to other megacities.

Published: January 2025

Vinasse is a primary byproduct of the sugarcane distillation process used in ethanol production. It is characterized by high concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfates, along with elevated levels of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). If not managed properly, vinasse can have detrimental environmental effects, particularly on soil quality. Therefore, its treatment is essential not only to mitigate environmental risks but also to capitalize on potential energy and economic opportunities, such as bioenergy production and the generation of valuable byproducts. This study aimed to develop a virtual model using ASPEN PLUS® software for the treatment of vinasse generated in an ethanol biorefinery. The simulation achieved a theoretical organic matter removal efficiency of 100%, with biogas compositions consisting of 59 mol% methane, 32 mol% carbon dioxide, 5.5 mol% water, and 3 mol% nitrogen. Furthermore, this research contributes to the limited body of literature on vinasse treatment simulations, underscoring its potential as an eco-friendly and cost-effective waste management solution.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to propose a method for determining the provinces with high water potential. This work is based on the combination of the application of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) to studies on groundwater and surface water in the northern region of Tindouf (southwestern Algeria), where work is rare and incomplete due to very difficult geographical conditions and hard access to the land. The objective is to define the role of the geological characteristics of underground hydrodynamics in the aquifer system of the northern region of the Tindouf Basin and to extract the relationship between morphology and fracturing on the one hand and the water supply from this aquifer from another. The methodology followed consists of studying the fracturing of the zone which is obtained after processing Landsat 8 OLI images on QGIS and our new geological map of the sector extracted from maps of Morocco (Akka_Tafagount_Tata 1/200,000 and Agadir_Tissint_Zemoul 1/200,000). This process based on the mapping of structural lineaments, and the extraction of the hydrographic network from the digital elevation model (DEM).

Published: January 2025

As anomalias congênitas das artérias coronárias representam um grupo heterogêneo de malformações raras que afetam a origem, o trajeto ou a estrutura das artérias coronárias, frequentemente assintomáticas e não detectáveis em exames físicos de rotina. Dentre essas, a origem anômala da artéria coronária esquerda a partir da artéria pulmonar (ALCAPA), também conhecida como síndrome de Bland-White-Garland, é uma das mais graves. A ALCAPA ocorre em 0,25-0,5% dos casos de cardiopatias congênitas e leva à isquemia miocárdica progressiva, com risco elevado de cardiomiopatia isquêmica e insuficiência cardíaca congestiva se não tratada. A mortalidade sem tratamento pode atingir até 90% no primeiro ano de vida. Embora grave, a ALCAPA é frequentemente subdiagnosticada devido à sua apresentação clínica inespecífica, como miocardiopatia dilatada em lactentes. Este trabalho visa revisar as manifestações clínicas, implicações hemodinâmicas e a importância do diagnóstico precoce e da intervenção cirúrgica nos casos de ALCAPA. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura a partir de artigos relevantes, como Aliku et al. (2014) e Angelini e Uribe (2018), abordando aspectos como diagnóstico, intervenções cirúrgicas e resultados de tratamento. Observa-se que a correção cirúrgica precoce pode restaurar o fluxo sanguíneo oxigenado ao miocárdio, melhorando significativamente o prognóstico e aumentando a taxa de sobrevivência para mais de 90%. Conclui-se que o diagnóstico precoce e a intervenção cirúrgica são fundamentais para reduzir a mortalidade e melhorar os desfechos clínicos.

An unconventional adaptation: Ángel María Dacarrete’s Julieta y Romeo (1858)
Authors: Ruiz-Morgan Jennifer
Published: January 2025

This article examines Julieta y Romeo (1858), an unconventional adaptation of Romeo and Juliet written by Ángel María Dacarrete. The play has received no scholarly attention since Alfonso Par’s pioneering works on Shakespeare in Spain (published in 1936 and 1940), and it deserves to be re-evaluated. It focuses on the innovations introduced by Dacarrete, the performance history, and the ensuing rejection by most contemporary critics owing to a supposed lack of originality and equally supposed appalling immorality. It argues that, at a time in which Shakespeare was largely unknown, adaptation was beneficial rather than detrimental to the reception of Shakespeare in Spain.

Authors: Cengiz Orhan , Baktemur Fatma İdil , Canoglu Meltem
Published: January 2025

Environmental quality is a crucial topic both for developed and developing countries. In particular, along with globalization, developing countries strive to catch up with developed countries. However, the globalization process in developing countries may also cause environmental effects. Hence, the current paper aims to analyze the impact of economic globalization, technological development, and household consumption on the ecological footprint (EF) in Visegrad countries, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia over the period 1996-2021 through controlling economic growth and renewable energy consumption. In order to achieve this aim, we perform Driscoll & Kraay, panel corrected standard errors (PCSE), and feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimators that take into consider cross-sectional dependence (CSD). The empirical findings reveal that economic globalization and household consumption reduce EF, whereas technological development fosters environmental degradation by increasing EF. Moreover, renewable energy consumption has a negative effect on EF, while economic growth contributes to EF in the V4 countries. Consequently, empirical findings can help policymakers develop new policies for combating environmental degradation by considering the role of economic globalization and technological improvement.

Assessing Sustainable Development Performance and Alternative Concepts in a Group of Developed Countries in Europe
Authors: Drastichová Magdaléna , Filzmoser Peter
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the progress of 31 countries, including EU member states, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (UK), towards the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SD) and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the period 2012–2020. The analysis employs indicators from the EU SDG indicator set, which monitors progress towards the SDGs within the EU context. The objective is to identify which sustainability concepts these countries gravitate towards as they advance towards the SDGs and specific indicators within the EU SDG set. The study assesses progress and alignment with the overarching concept of sustainable development as well as with more focused practical approaches, such as green economy/growth and circular economy, and more complex alternative concepts like degrowth and compassionate economy. The biclustering method is applied to uncover relationships between countries and indicators, resulting in clusters that combine five groups of countries with ten groups of indicators. These clusters exhibit varying degrees of progress across sustainable development, green economy/growth, circular economy, compassionate economy, and degrowth based on the indicator values. Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Sweden are identified as the top performers in overall sustainability. Notably, Switzerland and Norway show the greatest alignment with degrowth and compassionate economy concepts, while the Netherlands and Italy excel in circular economy and green economy/growth. The novelty of this article lies in the innovative application of the biclustering method combined with point-based evaluation of indicators within the SDG set, providing a unique perspective on the progress of these 31 countries towards sustainability. Furthermore, the identification of countries’ inclination towards specific sustainability concepts represents a key innovation in this work.
Gandhian Interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita: A Solution to Sustainable Living
Authors: Sharma Namarta
Published: January 2025

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, an apostle of non-violence and satyagraha (holding firmly to truth), reiterates Lord Krishna’s call to selfless action in his interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita to envisage a society wherein all the people of the world are able to make ends meet peacefully and prosper together to fulfil their needs. In fact, Gandhi’s call for selfless action has a potential to impeccably synchronize with the action plan to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adumbrated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for a peaceful and decent living for all. To attain selfless action Gandhi propagates the need for inner progress by adopting spiritual means as material progress alone can derail nay destroy humanity and her habitat. Gandhi’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita’s Anasakti Yoga is an effort to broadcast the message for a sustainable living of humanity that he himself experiments and experiences. The present paper posits that Gandhi’s message of the detached service gives a solution to the world which is troubled with myriad problems especially the ones that are posing an ecological challenge that in itself has acquired the status of an existential threat. Gandhi postulates that desires tend to distract human beings from the right-living. How to subside the desires? To answer the above question Gandhi interprets the Bhagavad Gita in his novel way and presents his own life experiences in controlling the senses, the source of desires. This paper discusses that knowledge with devotion coupled with selfless action will pave the way to sustainable development.

From Environmental Ethics to Sustainability Ethics
Authors: Du Hong
Published: January 2025

Contemporary environmental ethics is confronted with a dual dilemma, namely the tension between theoretical and practical considerations. In response, scholars have pursued a variety of avenues, with the practice-oriented approach emerging as the dominant trend. The practice of environmental ethics can be analyzed according to two paradigms: the applied ethics paradigm and the practical ethics paradigm. Both paradigms suggest the possibility of a certain kind of sustainability ethics, namely the development of traditional environmental ethics into a public, applied sustainability ethics. In other words, the advancement of traditional environmental ethics, which is theoretically superior, into a form of public and applied sustainability ethics may prove an effective means of addressing the current challenges facing environmental ethics.

Tourism has become one of the most significant export sectors in many developing countries. The development of tourism not only increases foreign exchange income but also creates job opportunities, stimulates the growth of the tourism industry, and triggers overall economic growth. Therefore, tourism development has become an important target for most governments, especially in developing countries. Indonesia, as the largest archipelago in the world, has high tourism potential, making it an attractive destination for both domestic and international tourists. Banda Aceh, the capital city of Aceh Province located at the northern tip of Sumatra Island, boasts many impressive tourist destinations. This study aims to analyze the impact of tourist visits, hotel occupancy rates, and guest stay duration on the local revenue of Banda Aceh. The analytical method used in this study is the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to determine both short-term and long-term effects. The results of the short-term analysis indicate that the variables of the number of tourist visits, hotel occupancy rates, and guest stay duration significantly affect PH as the dependent variable. However, for the dependent variable PR, the number of tourist visits and hotel occupancy rates are not significant, whereas guest stay duration is significant. In the long-term equation, none of the independent variables significantly influence the dependent variables PH or PR.

Pengaruh Inflasi dan Pengangguran Terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi di Indonesia
Authors: Salsabila Fauzani , Amri Khairul
Published: January 2025

This research aims to determine the effect of inflation and unemployment on economic growth in Indonesia. Using annual time series data for the period 2000-2022, the analysis model used is multiple linear regression and autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL). This research reveals that there is no cointegration relationship between economic growth and inflation and unemployment. In both the long and short term, inflation has a positive impact on economic growth. Meanwhile, unemployment in both the long and short term has a negative impact on economic growth. These findings have implications that efforts to increase Indonesia's economic growth can be carried out through policy interventions related to the money supply which influences inflation and increases employment opportunities in order to reduce unemployment.
