Symposium 3: Learning Design Family Tree to Back Reuse and Cooperation
Authors: Chacon Jonathan , Hernández-Leo Davinia
Published: October 2024

The types of artefacts or solutions used towards the creation learning designs (Learning design Solutions, LdS) are diverse (patterns, course maps, activities, etc.) and have varied or multiple lives. Sometimes designs are created by an individual teacher for a single use with their students. But often, they are reused the following years or by other teachers with minor adaptations. Other times, designs are co-outlined by networks of teacher and later refined by each teacher for their particular group of students, or they are co-designed involving students. These scenarios can imply the creation of multiple replicas of the same design, which in turn may be duplicated and refined as new LdS. In this paper we state that supporting the management and visualization of interrelated LdS can back scenarios of cooperation and reuse in the context of design communities. In particular, we propose an LdS branching model visualized following a family-tree metaphor. We define a "learning designs’ family" as a collection of learning designs which weren't started from scratch but by replicating (or duplicating) a particular existing learning design. The model, and its visualization, has been implemented as a new feature in the LdShake teacher-community platform, as part of the Metis Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE). The development of the feature consists of two main modules: one devoted to the management of the family-related LdS and another focused on their visualization. On the one hand, the management module is in charge of storing LdS replicas’ data, managing their interrelations, and retrieving a learning design family corresponding to a given LdS. On the other hand, the visualization module displays a learning design family as square-shaped icons representing LdSs, and its family-relations using arrows. This first implementation of both the model and its visualization has enabled the collection of the first feedback from learning technology experts. The evaluation was carried out online. 11 experts responded to our invitation to try the feature completing a set of tasks and an on-line questionnaire. Their opinions indicate that the feature is interesting and could significantly address relevant learning design and co-design situations. They used the feature satisfactorily but also pointed out several suggestions to improve its usability and enhance its potential utility. The suggestions are being considered in a second iteration of the model and its implementation, which will be used by teachers in the Metis workshops.
Symposium 4: The Spaces of Networked Learning
Authors: Bayne Siân
Published: October 2024

Education has to date taken surprisingly little account of the so-called 'spatial turn' which has been evident across other areas of the humanities and social sciences in recent decades (Withers, 2009; Guldi, nd). New spatial vocabularies help us shift the assumption that space functions as a ‘static container’ (Fenwick et al, 2011: 129) within which individuals act. Rather, space is increasingly seen as a dynamic entity which is produced by the social and material interactions which take place ‘within’ it. As Fenwick et al (2011) make clear, for forms of education which have to do with media, technology, distance and the online, ‘the ordering of space-time has become a critical influence’. The distancing and networking of education make possible new spatial practices, new patterns of movement and ‘new proximities’ (129).
In discussions of online education and the nature of the digital, there has been an historic tendency to see the apparent ‘fluidity’ of 'networked' spaces as inherently liberatory, as providing an educational topology which is somehow freer, more democratic, more ‘open’ simply by virtue of the otherness of ‘cyberspace’ (Bayne, 2004; Edwards et al, 2011). Such discourses continue, influenced now by the promises of democratisation and accessibility-to-all of the ‘open education’ movement (for example Caswell et al, 2008). However, as Edwards et al (2011) point out, ‘Mobility through cyberspaces is neither inherently emancipatory nor positive and relies upon its own immobilities and moorings’ (226): it is important to maintain a critical and broad perspective on the spatial orientations of online education, not simply to privilege the more obviously networked and fluid spaces of the internet.
Thus our aim in this symposium is to present various perspectives on the constitution of space in networked learning, in order to come at a critical understanding of the various spatial orientations of education conducted within the multiple social topologies of the internet. Papers will weave a pathway through online higher education, distance education, workplace learning and educational governance, working with the consistent themes of mobility and spatial theory. Our session will combine 2 full papers with 3 short pecha kucha sessions in order to dynamically present a range of different perspectives aimed at stimulating and provoking discussion and debate around the notion of educational space beyond the 'network'.
Current Status and Case Review of Color BIPV Design Using CIGS Thin Film Cells
Authors:   Korea Society of Public Design, kim Oneyoung , Jang Young-Ho
Published: October 2024

This study examines the development status of domestic color solar cells and eight domestic and international application sites to overcome the limitations of early-stage BIPV modules that focus only on expanding and distributing power generation and do not meet various building regulations and rules, and to solve somewhat neglected building and cityscape problems. In addition, it analyzes its characteristics to improve the misconceptions and limitations of existing BIPV and to contribute to improving domestic architectural application conditions and future energy policies by reborn as a true product with the function of building exterior materials. In this study, it was found through domestic and international cases that the common feature of BIPV installation cases using CIGS thin-film cells is that BIPV is installed on the entire exterior of a building to meet power generation while pursuing consistency in the design of the exterior, and that CIGS modules satisfy most of the architectural functions that BIPV should have. In addition, although the inevitable efficiency reduction occurs when PV modules have color, it was confirmed that this is a part that must be tolerated to some extent in the comprehensive and combined sense that the ultimate goal of BIPV is to realize sustainable architecture by replacing existing building materials while generating energy. However, there are still many shortcomings in satisfying the color and size required in architecture, and the color that takes into account regional characteristics, so further technological development and advancement are needed.
A Study on the Potential of Data Art as Public Art : Focusing on Abstraction and Complexity
Authors:   Korea Society of Public Design, Kim Min-Jung , Park So-Young
Published: October 2024

This study explores data art as a form of public art, focusing on visual abstraction and complexity. In recent years, new media works such as installation art and media art have transformed public spaces and architecture, turning urban areas into places that offer new experiences and inspiration beyond mere transit or commercial uses. However, the utilization of data art as public art remains limited. Data art visually represents vast amounts of data, providing unique insights and conveying new meanings through various forms. For instance, data art that integrates real-time climate data can offer both important messages and aesthetic experiences. The analysis of the technical and artistic aspects of data art installed in public spaces reveal the following: Data art’s abstraction and complexity provide citizens with immersive and novel experiences, enabling mental rejuvenation. Data art, expressed in geometric abstraction or abstract expressionist styles, captivates viewers and offers a balanced complexity designed by the artist, delivering surprise and newness. Utilizing diverse raw data and visualized in real-time, data art is created as installation pieces using digital screens or LEDs. These artworks are installed in various public places such as building lobbies, bus stops, and parks, allowing more people to experience art in their daily lives. Therefore, as public art, data art, with its abstraction and complexity, can engage citizens emotionally and promote open-minded thinking.

Heavy metal pollution in soil poses a significant threat to the environment and human health as it accumulates throughout the food chain. Remediation of soil contamination involves biological, chemical, and physical methods. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria inoculation helps some plants stabilize heavy metals in polluted soil by forming chelates with the metals. An experiment was conducted to examine the impact of Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on spinach growth and heavy metal stability in polluted soil with industrial effluents. The study found that Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (S1 and S2) enhanced growth and yield parameters, with fresh weights reaching 18% and 14%, highest dry weights at 10% and 40%, and longest roots at 11%. The treatment with Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria S1 recorded the highest SPAD values (27%). Chemical parameters revealed that Cr levels in roots peaked in treatments without PGPR. The results concluded that PGPR can effectively remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils and industrial effluent-irrigated soils used for food crop growth.

Unemployment is an urgent problem for Ukraine, especially in the conditions of martial law. In addition to socio-economic, it has a number of social problems that need to be solved. The purpose of the study was to analyze the social characteristics of unemployed women. Research task: analysis of social characteristics of unemployed women (educational level, motivation for leaving the previous job, motivation for acquiring a new position or profession, level of material harassment); analysis of the significance of differences in social characteristics of age groups of unemployed women of different ages. A survey of women who are registered at the Belotserki branch of the Kyiv Regional Employment Center showed that almost all of the respondents have been registered with the employment service for up to 1 year, most of them are middle-aged, with a higher education, and left their previous job due to low wages, so want to receive wages at the level of 10-20 thousand UAH. per month, but at the same time they do not want to acquire a new profession or specialty, but if necessary, they are ready to do it at the expense of the state. Among the interviewed young women, the majority are persons with a professional (vocational and technical) education, who lost their job less than a year ago, are dissatisfied with the offered vacancies due to low wages, want to change their profession at the expense of the state, but claim a salary of 10-20 thousand hryvnias. month. Among the surveyed middle-aged women, almost all of them lost their jobs less than a year ago, among whom there is a predominance of people with higher education, whose main reason for leaving their previous place of employment was dissatisfaction with wages, which is also the main reason for dissatisfaction with the offered vacancies. Most of them claim a salary of 10-20 thousand hryvnias. per month, but only a few want to acquire a new profession at the expense of the state. Among the surveyed women of pre-retirement age, almost all of them lost their jobs less than a year ago, most of them with higher education, who left their previous place of work due to low wages, which is also the main reason for their dissatisfaction with the jobs offered to them. The vast majority of them claim a salary of 10-20 thousand hryvnias. month. Significant differences were found between the age groups of unemployed women according to the following indicators: level of education, reasons for dismissal from the previous place of employment, reason for refusing the offered vacancies, desire to acquire a new profession or specialty. No significant differences were found between the age groups of unemployed women on other indicators: the time that passed after dismissal from work, the level of the desired salary, the level of readiness to acquire a new profession or specialty.

Being in a war area or during regular rockets or artillery attacks, the inability to leave the location of a pregnant woman or a woman  in postpartum period can affected the psycho-emotional condition of a woman. Therefore, in today's context, attention should be focused on creating predictors and identifying factors that can negatively affect a pregnant woman, the duration of pregnancy and labor, and the postpartum period. During pregnancy, one of the physiological changes in a woman's body is a change in the functioning of the nervous system. This is because during the implantation of the blastocyst, several types of receptors send impulses to the central nervous system, where information is received, scanned and analyzed in the cerebral cortex and produces the phenomenon of increased excitability. As a result of physiological transformations of this increased excitability, due to physiological mechanisms, it is transformed and reduces the excitability of the nervous system for the formation of the embryo and its complementary structures. As a result, pregnant women may experience psycho-emotional changes, sometimes with an unstable duration, mood changes, fatigue or drowsiness, sometimes obsession with pregnancy and worries about the correct growth of the fetus in the womb or various effects or nutritional factors (consumption or exclusion of certain foods or drinks) that may negatively affect it. The factors affecting the psycho-emotional condition during pregnancy (prenatal period) are identified and analyzed: external, social, economic, physiological, psychological, emotional and willed. The factors affecting the psycho-emotional well-being of women in the postnatal period are analyzed: medical, emotional and psychological, and communicative.

The publication of non-financial statements by companies is an important element of the mechanism of complex solution of global social problems, which are generally inherent in modern society, regardless of the individual parameters of the economic and social development of individual countries. By publicly reporting on the impact of social and environmental aspects of its economic activity on individual social groups and society as a whole, the company forms an important primary source of information regarding its mission as a subject of corporate social responsibility (CSR), tasks, tools for their achievement and the results obtained in this field and demonstrates respect for norms and rules that are not defined by law, but for the observance of which there are requests from the public. The relevance of the article is due to the importance of non-financial reporting in the information provision of the CSR phenomenon and support of stakeholders’ trust in social business initiatives. The purpose of the article is to assess the relationship between the level of stakeholders' trust in companies' disclosure of information on the social aspects of doing business in non-financial reporting and the improvement of the results of the implementation of CSR practices. The evolution of non-financial reporting from voluntary preparation to the obligation to submit it by companies that are of public interest has not yet reached the stage where the expression of an independent assessment of the reliability of the reported indicators is a necessary prerequisite for its publication and use by stakeholders. In this regard, the issue of relevance and reliability of information contained in non-financial reporting as a source of information for decision-making and assessment of compliance of the company's actions with the goals of CSR and sustainable development remains open. The lack of trust on the part of stakeholders reduces the importance of non-financial reporting and prevents its use, while accusing companies of deliberately filling such reporting with insignificant information and distorting indicators reduces the prospects for further development of this system in general. Since non-financial reporting is an important tool for informing society about the extent to which business meets its expectations in solving social problems, especially through the use of effective CSR practices, and what role the state plays in this, there is an urgent need for scientific and practical substantiation of a set of measures with elimination of existing weak points of non-financial reporting, namely: content and comparability of its indicators. It has been established that at the current stage of CSR development, high-quality non-financial reporting effectively represents the socially responsible behaviour of the company, and increasing the trust of stakeholders is ensured by expanding the opportunities for comparative analysis of the content of non-financial reports.

Reporting is the main source of information for internal and external stakeholders. It is emphasized that the main purpose of financial statements is to provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to all investors and creditors in making decisions about the resources of such an entity. However, the emergence of new accounting objects and social and environmental problems of humanity create an information crisis that public financial reporting cannot solve. The contemporary information crisis is not the first in the history of corporate reporting, but it has given rise to problems that cannot be solved by traditional accounting tools – double entry bookkeeping. The reasons for recognizing the imperfection of corporate reporting by the international regulator are identified, which are the insufficient level of satisfaction of all information requests of various stakeholders. It is substantiated that in the context of market globalization, a significant gap has emerged between the market value of companies and their book value, which is presented in consolidated financial statements and general purpose financial statements. In addition, new challenges related to the implementation of sustainable development policies have begun to emerge. These trends are accompanied by the emergence of new stakeholders, in particular, non-profit organizations and civil society, which have begun to formulate their own requests to international and national regulators and companies regarding the environmental impact of their activities. All of this is leading to a crisis in traditional public financial reporting, as there is a need for additional financial and non-financial information that cannot be fully provided by public financial reporting institutions. The purpose of the article is to investigate the development of the institution of corporate reporting in an evolutionary context on the example of European countries (for example Great Britain, France, Germany). Using the historical method, the author has carried out a periodization of the development of corporate reporting as a social institution. Moreover, the paper deals with the features of each corporate reporting development stage. This makes it possible to better understand the nature of the emergence of corporate reporting when studying its essence. The paper type – research paper.
Developing Energy Conservation Strategies in Agricultural Enterprises
Authors: Vasylets Nelya , Bokov Valentyn
Published: October 2024

The article emphasizes that agriculture has specific aspects, particularly regarding energy consumption. The research reveals that some agricultural enterprises are capable of generating their own energy. These characteristics are associated with various types of energy used in the production process: fossil energy, solar energy, and soil energy. The authors highlight the need for special attention to the development of energy-saving strategies in agriculture, as these enterprises often face high energy costs and have significant potential for enhancing energy efficiency. It has been established that reducing the use of fossil energy sources and maximizing the use of renewable sources, such as solar energy and soil energy potential, can substantially contribute to energy conservation in the agricultural sector. The considerable dispersion of agricultural enterprises leads to high costs and differences in energy consumption principles: fossil energy is primary for industry, while in agriculture, it serves a supplementary role, where natural energy forms biological mass (crops, livestock). The importance of management aspects in developing an effective energy-saving strategy, which promotes sustainable development and economic benefit in the agricultural sector, is highlighted. The authors propose key steps for ensuring energy conservation, which should form the basis for creating a comprehensive energy-saving strategy in agriculture.
Formulating Global Branding Strategies in the Context of Cultural Differences
Authors: Balashova Natalya , Urupa Illia
Published: October 2024

The article examines how cultural differences impact the development of global branding strategies, which is critically important in the context of globalization and market integration. It emphasizes that the essence of this issue lies in the need to consider the cultural characteristics of various countries and regions when creating and implementing global branding strategies. The article explores how cultural differences affect brand perception. It notes that what is positively received in one culture may be misunderstood or even offensive in another. It is crucial for brands to adapt their messaging to align with the cultural norms and expectations of their target audience. It is argued that global branding strategies need to be adapted to local conditions, which includes adjusting advertising campaigns, product assortments, packaging, and pricing policies. The article highlights the importance of language barriers and communication, noting that language is a critical component of global branding. Not only can the text of advertising materials, but also brand names, slogans, and even colors carry different meanings across different languages. The article also discusses the significance of cultural norms and values, which can influence consumer reactions to a brand. It stresses the importance of considering legal and ethical norms that may vary between countries, including regulations regarding advertising, consumer rights, and cultural taboos. It is determined that companies have a choice between two main strategies: adaptation or standardization. Adaptation involves modifying branding to fit local cultural conditions, while standardization focuses on maintaining a consistent brand identity on a global scale. The choice between these strategies depends on market characteristics and the company’s business goals. The necessity of thorough market research and analysis of cultural specifics for the successful implementation of global branding strategies is emphasized. This helps in gathering crucial information about consumer preferences, competitors, and market trends, which aids in developing effective strategies. The overall conclusion of the article underscores that accounting for cultural differences is critically important for successful global branding, and companies that can adapt their strategies to the cultural characteristics of their markets gain a significant competitive advantage. The type of article is theoretical.

Published: October 2024

The radical innovations that led to the structural modernization of the world economy were affected by the development of the digital economy and its main components, among which it is essential to single out e-commerce. After all, it gradually begins to play an important role in the field of trade and the economy, primarily due to its importance and practical use of the assets of scientific and technological progress. Therefore, conducting scientific research to deepen its theoretical and epistemological foundations is timely, allowing us to comprehensively understand its essence and outline the main advantages that various subjects of the national economy receive from its spread. The article aims to clarify the main approaches to understanding the essence of the "electronic commerce" concept, which will allow us to comprehensively characterize the gains from its spread, which society receive. To achieve the goal, several general scientific and specific methods of cognition were used, including analysis and synthesis, content analysis, and systematization. During the study, it was found that the emergence of electronic commerce relates to the active use of the Internet for data transfer and exchange, the development of digital technologies. As a result of the analysis of the scientific literature, five main approaches to its understanding were identified: functional, interactive, component, structural, and static. The value of e-commerce is determined by its advantages because it can create additional impulses for the development of the economy. E-commerce faces certain risks, early consideration of which will allow for minimizing potential losses and creating additional impulses for its growth. In general, digitalization and the active involvement of ICT in economic relations fundamentally change established ways of doing business, affecting not only the increased speed and scale of trade, improved interaction between entities, and allowing companies to enter international markets using new technologies.
Metástasis testicular de carcinoma prostático: reporte de un caso
Authors: Arguello Méndez Julio
Published: October 2024

Resumen Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico de carcinoma de próstata metastásico a testículo y presentar una breve revisión sobre el tema. Materiales y métodos: Las metástasis testiculares secundarias a otros tumores primarios, a excepción de los linfomas y las leucemias linfocíticas agudas, son entidades muy poco frecuentes. Sin embargo, dentro de estos hay una leve incidencia relativa de metástasis provenientes de carcinoma de próstata, encontrándose en un 2%-4% de los estudios histológicos. Los sitios de metástasis del carcinoma de próstata son, en orden de frecuencia: hueso, hígado y pulmón, en tanto que las metástasis hacia testículo son poco usuales. El mecanismo de diseminación más probable es la vía linfática y su diagnóstico histológico puede resultar difícil. Resultados: Reportamos el caso de un paciente afroamericano de 69 años, que se presentó clínicamente con síntomas urinarios obstructivos y un nivel de antígeno prostático específico (APE) en 58 ng/ml, una próstata voluminosa de consistencia pétrea al tacto rectal y biopsia transrectal, cuya anatomía patológica confirma un adenocarcinoma acinar común Gleason (5+4) 9 en el 60% de las muestras. El paciente fue tratado con resección transuretral descompresiva, análogos de LHRH y radioterapia externa pélvica. Desafortunadamente, 1 mes después de concluir la radioterapia se observa un aumento progresivo e indoloro del volumen testicular izquierdo. Se le efectúa orquiectomía radical izquierda y los estudios histológicos reportan que el parénquima testicular ha sido sustituido por numerosos nódulos correspondientes a metástasis de adenocarcinoma de próstata. Conclusiones: A pesar de que existen casos ya descritos por autores de diversas latitudes, las metástasis testiculares son entidades muy poco frecuentes, y las secundarias a carcinoma de próstata son aún menos probables, encontrándose la mayoría de las veces como hallazgo incidental en especímenes procedentes de orquiectomías efectuadas a pacientes como parte de su manejo por cáncer prostático.

Law No. 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf is projected as a means of social engineering, making changes to the thoughts, attitudes and behavior of Muslims so that they are in line with the spirit of the law. One of the new regulations in the Waqf Law is productive Waqf. This article discusses the productive waqf in the perspective of Islamic economics and how the prospects are in empowering the economy of Muslims. Productive waqf is a scheme for managing waqf donations from the people, namely by producing these donations, so that they are able to produce a sustainable surplus. Productive waqf is not very familiar in the community, so it is necessary to socialize to the community about productive waqf and assist in the development and management of productive waqf, by conducting research that focuses on Krajan Hamlet and Tamansari Hamlet in Kaliuling Village, Tempursari District, Lumajang Regency. The community service activities aim to empower the people of Kaliuling Village through the implementation of productive waqf. This implementation will help the community manage village assets so that they can be maximized for common welfare. Apart from that, this effort also aims to educate the people of Kaliuling about the use of productive waqf as a source of mutual welfare.
The dedication method used by researchers is a participatory action approach or commonly referred to as PAR (participatory action research). In the activity there are 3 main keys, namely the first identifying problems, planning problem solving, implementing, controlling and evaluating. The second is understanding, predicting, verifying, exploring, and so on. And the third is research, namely research activities in the academic world. This research activity is a critique of existing research paradigms, both positivistic and interpretive paradigms that are not concerned with social change.
In the management and development activities of productive waqf in Kaliuling Village, Tempursari District, Lumajang Regency, it was carried out through several stages including; socialization of productive waqf to the community, forming management as Nadzir (manager) of Productive Waqf, recording data on waqf and goods being donated, as well as compiling administrative files for productive waqf management and pledges. The results of this activity are quite significant and can be understood by most of the Kaliuling village community, especially Dusun Krajan and Tamansari. This can be proven by the nadzir management in two (2) hamlets that have been formed, in Dusun Krajan there are 6 registered wakifs and in Dusun Tamansari there are 9 registered wakifs.

Some Methods for Indicating Cartographic Uncertainty, Fifteenth through Eighteenth Centuries
Authors: Van Duzer Chet
Published: October 2024

We have a strong tendency to trust maps as accurate depictions of the world, and most early modern cartographers are content to enjoy that prima facie trust without raising questions about the trustworthiness of their sources. In this article I will examine several methods that cartographers used from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries of departing from this convention, and indicating to their viewers in a forthright manner which parts of their map they were certain about, and which they were uncertain about. Some of these methods include listing sites about whose location the cartographer is uncertain, using a different graphic style to depict unknown coastlines, using signs to distinguish between certain and uncertain regions, and surrendering to uncertainty and reprinting varying maps of the same region together. Determining what earlier scholars did not know, and how they dealt with that lack of knowledge, is an essential step in producing the history of knowledge.

Puzhou opera, also known as Puju, originated in Puzhou in ancient China, which is now renamed as Yuncheng city, Shanxi province. Puju has been recorded since the Yuan dynasty and has become one of China’s most important operas because of its long history and influence on surrounding opera styles. This article explores challenges related to the institutionalization of Puju and how to use the modern technology of virtual media to ensure the sustainable development of traditional opera. In addition, as an insider of Yuncheng University, the researcher explored the application process of virtual media in promoting the institutionalized development of Puju and how to realize the learning, preservation, and inheritance of education and modern technology. To summarize, this study investigates the existing problems and challenges in using this virtual and media approaches and applies the media through virtual approach in the institutionalization of Puju to expand audiences and provide a new dissemination of opportunities.
The Effect of Intimate Partner Violence on Child Undernutrition in Zambia

Published: October 2024

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a critical global issue affecting millions of individuals and constitutes a serious violation of human rights. In Zambia, an estimated 41% of women aged 15–49 years have experienced physical and/or sexual IPV at least once in their lifetime. This study assessed the effect of mothers’ experience of IPV on child undernutrition in Zambia. We analyzed data pooled from three rounds of nationally representative cross-sectional household surveys (Zambia Demographic and Health Survey: ZDHS-2007, ZDHS-2013/14, and ZDHS-2018), including 29 817 children under 5 years of age. Results from multivariate multilevel logistic regression analyses showed that mothers’ exposure to emotional violence significantly increased the likelihood of stunting among girls (OR = 1.145, p = 0.037). The negative effects of mothers’ exposure to IPV were confirmed for both less severe and severe violence on girls’ stunting (OR = 1.214, p = 0.001 and OR = 1.230, p = 0.011, respectively). Nonetheless, mothers’ experience of IPV had no significant effects on underweight or wasting among girls, nor on any indicator of undernutrition among boys. Protecting mothers from IPV could be beneficial for improving child development in Zambia.

Ecological sensitivity, as one of the most important indicators to evaluate regional environmental issues, holds significant implications for ecological governance and management in the related area. This study utilized remote sensing imagery of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) from the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) in 2014 and 2018, combined with field surveys and socio-economic data. Considering the local ecological and environmental conditions in the region, nine factors related to seven aspects, soil erosion, topography, humidity, habitat, water environment, human interference, and climate, were selected to create an ecological sensitivity evaluation framework for the YRD urban agglomeration. The coefficient of variation method was applied to determine factor weights, while the zonal statistics and spatial overlay methods were used for a comprehensive analysis of ecological sensitivity in a geographic information system (GIS). The YRD urban agglomeration was categorized into five ecological sensitivity levels: extremely sensitive, highly sensitive, moderately sensitive, slightly sensitive, and insensitive. The analysis results revealed spatial variations in the distribution of ecological sensitivity across the YRD urban agglomeration, with the overall ecological sensitivity level being slightly sensitive. The proportions of the total area occupied by extremely sensitive, highly sensitive, moderately sensitive, slightly sensitive, and insensitive zones were 14.30%, 12.02%, 25.29%, 30.34%, and 18.05% in 2014, and 14.30%, 24.01%, 16.33%, 27.32%, and 18.05%, respectively, in 2018. Based on these results, relevant ecological vulnerabilities for the YRD urban agglomeration were discussed.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy are interchangeable terms characterized by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction, electrocardiographic changes, and cardiac biomarker elevation similar to acute coronary syndrome (ACS), without the presence of obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease. It predominantly affects postmenopausal females and manifests in the presence of stressful triggers such as severe physical or emotional stress, natural disasters, unexpected death of relatives, acute medical illnesses, etc. TTS was initially considered to be a benign condition however recent studies have shown that it may be associated with complications and mortality similar to ACS. Rare reports of TTS triggered by diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) have been published. Herein we describe a case of an elderly female with a history of type II diabetes mellitus (DM) who was admitted with DKA and subsequently developed TTS that resolved after treatment of DKA and implementation of heart failure therapies.
