Sustainability Strategic Framing in Corporate Communication: Contextual Semantics of Twitter in the Energy Sector
Authors: Adriana Paliwoda-Matiolańska  , Atsuho Nakayama
Published: July 2024

Sustainability has become the prevailing paradigm, a model of conduct, and a central theme in social and media discourses within the past decade. However, it is still a marginal development concept in the interdisciplinary research field dealing with sustainability communication, especially with meaning-making processes in relevant communicative, for example, in corporate and industry contexts. This paper focuses on how the idea of sustainability is framed, anchored, and disseminated in energy companies' communication via social media channels and how the linguistic methods used by energy corporations concerning sustainability co -create theirsymbolic value. Specifically, this study has aimed to understand how the sustainability topic was discussed in the Twitter sphere of the most prominent energy companies in 2020. This study makes a three -fold contribution to sustainable research and practice. First, the study identifies the framing structure of sustainability content in social media communication in the energy sector. Secondly, the study identifies social media data as a viable source of sustainability conceptualization and its understanding through communication. Finally, this study illustrates how text mining and natural language processing (NLP) can be used as a research method for managing big text data and a tool for discovering latent communication structures. Sustainability is present and visible in the communication of the energy industry identified by (1) the semantic construction of phrases in communication that show a future, green, and clean orientation, but it is also strongly declarative, referring to what will be and can be done, and with positive emotions related to the communicated messages; and (2) decoupling from climate change and thus avoiding the industry's responsibility for the impact of global warming but promising clean, sustainable energy transformation and to avoid negative emotional connotation. However, one gets the impression that it takes on the character of a rhetorical art form related to the concept of decorum. In this view, the idea of sustainability is interpreted and shaped through the needs of the industry and as a rhetorical tool in building a positive narrative about companies and is used to gain legitimacy.
Sun Exposure and Skin Cancer: An Examination of Communications for Prevention on Instagram in a High-Risk Context
Authors: Ángeles Moreno  , María-Cristina Fuentes-Lara  , Lara Jiménez-Sánchez
Published: July 2024

Young people are increasingly affected by skin cancer in industrialized countries around the world, such as Spain, in Europe. The incidence of skin cancer is expected to continue to increase in the coming years if adequatephotoprotection habits are not implemented. Social media have been previously studied as a tool with great potential for skin cancer awareness and prevention in the young population (Falzone et al., 2017), so it is necessary to know and deepen the communication in these media to contribute to prevention. This paper explores these aspects in the context of the high prevalence of skin cancer in Spain. It aims to analyze the content of strategic communication of primary prevention or photoprevention disseminated on Instagram –the social media most used by young people (IAB Spain, 2023)– through the agenda-setting theory and the health belief model. As a result of the analysis of publications issued during the prevention campaign season in 2022, data were obtained regarding the first-level agenda, with a prevalence of content on photoprotection (40.9%), and the second-level agenda, with a majority framing focused on the causes of skin cancer (58.1%). Likewise, the publications showed a low frequency of the health belief model elements related toskin cancer prevention, except for the action signal (49.5%).
Press Discourse on the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda in Spain: Analysis of the Digital Newspapers with the Highest Readership (2015-2022)
Authors: Alberto E. López-Carrión  , Myriam Martí-Sánchez
Published: July 2024

In September 2015, all UN member states enacted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030Agenda. It is a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of peoplearound the world. This paper aims to determine the most relevant characteristics of the discourse around this plan,which has been offered by the seven digital newspapers with the highest readership in Spain during the eight yearsfollowing the enactment of the initiative. On the one hand, a statistical analysis has been carried out of the number ofpieces of information disseminated, as well as of the entities, industries, regions, themes and people or public agentsmost mentioned. On the other hand, a computerised linguistic corpus analysis was carried out, showing the main wordassociations made by each newspaper masthead and the length of the respective journalistic pieces. The main resultsreveal a generalised increase in the number of news items, especially from 2020 onwards. Furthermore, there is a clearprominence of the social dimension of sustainability and sustainable development, in contrast to the scarce relevanceof the ecological and environmental aspect in most of the digital newspapers. It is concluded that the Spanish pressdiscourse on the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda is heterogeneous and, furthermore, that there is currently no example thatfully complies with the values of sustainable journalism. Also, that the coverage of this roadmap does not have longformat journalistic pieces that allow the desirable depth for an adequate explanation of the plan.

Published: July 2024

Sri Lanka depends heavily on road for freight transportation where around 97% of domestic freight is transported by roads using trucks [1]. It was further related that half of the above trucks returning empty [1]. Such empty truck return runs go unnoticed in Sri Lanka. In other developed countries, digitalization such as digital tracking and tracing is used to minimize empty return runs of trucks by making them noticed by the parties in the supply chain. No such digital tracking and tracing is available in Sri Lanka to provide real time information on the truck operations. Therefore, the empty return runs remain unnoticed. Because of its being unnoticed, these empty space in the return runs of trucks are not used optimally. Lack of optimal use of these available space in the return runs of trucks incurs high cost of operation and lowers the net profit of truck operators. High cost and lower profit to truck operators leads to increase in charging high transportation cost from the shippers (local farmers). High transportation cost affects all the parties in the supply chain including the customers, suppliers, transport operators and the country. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose a digitalization approach of tracking and tracing the trucks that could give real time information on truck operations in Sri Lanka. This digitalization approach can help suppliers, transport operators and regulators to better utilize the empty space available in the return runs of trucks. This approach would pave the way for better customer satisfaction as it could reduce the freight transport costs..

To improve efficiency, productivity, and worker safety, industries are implementing automation facilities into their processes to take advantage of the rapid development of technologies [1]. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are one of the major parts of automatic systems in the industry [2]. Learning PLCs and their functions is one major component in learning industrial automation, and hence laboratories pay much attention to instruct students about PLCs and their functions. On the other hand, there is much research being done on intelligent learning platforms such as ALESK, and BYJU’s learning, where they implement student knowledge assessment methods and adaptive teaching methods [3]. This is one part of an ongoing project working on developing an intelligent learning platform for students to learn PLCs, its decentralized connections and simulations using factory IO. With an attempt to identify the hardware components needed to build a ‘Palletizer’, this work tries, • to develop a simulation in Factory IO for students to learn about PLCs, ladder programming and input/output devices, • to develop a web platform for students to refer to lab materials, data sheets and tutorials. As outcomes of this work, a simulation and the ladder logic program of a palletizer was built, and the components needed to build a physical palletizer and their specifications were identified. Moreover, a web interface was designed for students to learn about the lab practical.

With the application of advanced computer and communication technologies, traditional power systems are converting to cyber-physical power systems. [1] Several secondary systems, like SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), WAMS (Wide Area Monitoring System), AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), and smart substations, are the main cyber-physical subsystems that could be vulnerable to cyber-attacks. [1], [3] Mathematically modeled cyber-attack types such as FDIA (False Data Injection Attack) [1], [2], [3], [4], DoS (Denial of Service) [1], [3], replay attacks, etc. can be modeled using the PSCAD power system model with the addition of renewable power source models to the system. The goal of this project is to develop a PSCAD power system model with increasing renewable power sources, simulate the different kinds of cyber-attacks mentioned above in the PSCAD power system model, collect faulty data, and develop a deep learning model to detect and act against the cyber-attacks.
A Real-time, scalable and extensible object filtering and detection system using kinect sensor and ROS2 foxy

Published: July 2024

Object detection and filtering based on shape and color is an important capability for many robotics applications. For example, sorting objects by shape and color is a common industrial application. Service robots also need to detect and track objects based on visual properties. While powerful deep learning approaches like YOLO have emerged for general object detection, they require large datasets and extensive training. A simple shape and color filtering provide a lightweight and customizable alternative. This work aims to provide a real-time modular and lightweight system that can identify objects of basic shapes and colors and allow extensibility of functionality by incorporating more custom color and shape filters. The proposed system for real-time shape and color filtering using a Microsoft Kinect RGB-D sensor and Robot Operating System (ROS2) can identify an array of regular shapes like circles, rectangles, and triangles over a spectrum of different colors. New shape and color filters can be added dynamically at runtime thanks to the modular, ROS-2-based implementation.

Cinnamon holds global recognition as a necessary spice and a vital food ingredient. Apart from being highly regarded as a spice, it shines in areas such as medicine, as a powerful agent against cancers, heart diseases, and diabetes [1], [2]. Various cinnamon breeds exist worldwide. True Cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka and commonly known as Ceylon Cinnamon, is renowned for its superior taste, aroma, and quality. It contains significantly less coumarin, a potentially harmful substance when compared to alternatives such as Cassia cinnamon [3], [4]. Cinnamon trees yield various extractants, including cinnamon oil from leaves. The most sought-after extract is obtained from the inner bark, which is the primary focus of this project. The cinnamon industry exhibits remarkable resilience and growth, continuing strong export performance during the pandemic. While it faces fierce competition from Chinese Cassia in terms of quantity, Ceylon cinnamon remains unrivalled in quality. Cinnamon extraction is a labour-intensive process cantered around harvesting the prized inner bark of cinnamon stems. Skilled workers are pivotal for ensuring product quality and process efficiency. High labor costs and the need for specialized skills in cinnamon processing pose significant challenges, leading to demotivation among planters and exacerbating the labor shortage issue. In addressing above gaps, this research aims to design and develop an automated machine for cinnamon processing that includes the functions: scraping, rubbing, and peeling in a single feed, as a solution for the high demand of skilled laborers, with high efficiency and acceptable quality output.

Bioaccumulation of Chemical Elements and Organic Carbon in the Macrozoobenthic Organisms of the Laptev Sea
Authors: Demina L. L. , Galkin S. V. , Solomatina A. S.
Published: July 2024

Within the framework of the program “Marine Ecosystems of the Siberian Arctic”, based on the materials collected during the 69th and 72nd cruises of the R/V “Akademik Mstislav Keldysh”, a study of the distribution of a group of chemical elements (As, Ba, Bi, Co, Cr, Cr, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sc, Ti, Tl, Th, V, U and Zn) and organic carbon in the mass taxa of the Laptev Sea macrozoobenthos in the fields of methane seepage and outside them was carried out. For the first time, the bioaccumulation potential (BP) was quantified, taking into account, along with the concentration of elements in organisms, their biomass. At the C-15 methane field, the population of brittle stars accumulates each of the microelements many times (up to 40 times) more than at the background station. Brittle stars and bivalves show increased BP for Ni, As, Ba, Cu, Ti, V, Mn, and Zn compared to other elements, with brittle stars having significantly higher BP. It is assumed that the increased bioaccumulation of some heavy metals and metalloids in methane seep areas is associated with a greater bioavailability of organic matter in bottom sediments. For organic carbon, the highest BP was established, which is especially expressed in the C-15 methane field. At the background station, taxa accumulate a significantly smaller (by a factor of 10) amount of carbon in their biomass. As a result of the functioning of the ground eaters, bottom sediments are enriched with organic carbon, which may indicate an important contribution of benthic organisms to the carbon cycle in the seas of the Arctic.

Authors: Solovjova N. V. , Kovalyova I. V.
Published: July 2024

The article presents results of the conducted simulation research in ecological risk for three shelf areas of the Black Sea exposed to different combinations of the external stressors. Simulated risk calculations were performed for the aggregated phytoplankton taking into account the intra-annual variations in biomass values obtained from the observation data. The results revealed significant dependence of the ecological risk on the intra-annual state of phytoplankton, and also made it possible to calculate dependence of the acceptable probability of impacts on the ecological risk. The latter identified areas of probable errors of the second kind, which is of practical importance for ensuring ecological safety in the shelf resources development.

Authors: Ulyantsev A. S.
Published: July 2024

According to the results of analysis of 99 samples of bottom sediments and submarine permafrost from wells 1D-14, 3D-14 and 1D-15 drilled in the Buor-Khaya Bay, differences in their mineral composition due to paleogeographic factors, namely Late Quaternary changes in climate and sea level, as well as regional hydrodynamics are shown. The basis of the light fraction of minerals was quartz and feldspar (mainly plagioclases), found in the form of grains of various dimensions and sorting degree, as well as fine grains. To a lesser extent, the presence of chlorites, kaolinite and serpentines is noted, illite and smectite are rare. 42 accessory minerals were identified in the heavy fraction (average yield 0.95%) concentrated in fine-grained sands. It mainly consists of pyroxenes, amphiboles, carbonatite, epidote, zoisite, magnetite, mica, garnet, limonite, sphene, leucoxene, ilmenite. Rutile, kyanite, sillimanite, zircon, tourmaline, apatite, and stavrolite were found in smaller quantities. In the studied strata, plant remnants and carbon-like particles (kerogen) are found, the contribution of which exceeds 5% by weight in a number of samples. The results of the study allowed to conclude that the basis of the petrofund of the studied deposits are most likely sedimentary rocks of the Kharaulakh ridge of the Verkhoyansk mountain system (sandstones, siltstones and mudstones). The presence of characteristic accessory minerals in the sediments marks the unloading of igneous and metamorphic rocks, but their contribution is subordinate. They probably also include rocks of the Verkhoyansk complex, common near the Tiksi.

The article presents a developed methodology for integrated research of small-river estuaries using new methods and techniques. The article discusses the experience in using modern domestic devices for solving practical problems of integrated water-environmental monitoring with a case study of expeditionary work in estuaries of the Chernaya River (Crimean Peninsula, Sevastopol). The possibilities of the following technical instruments used are described: The GAP-AK-12R CTD (MHI RAS), the Condor biophysical complex (Aquastandard), and the Garmin echo sounder, which make it possible to obtain field data on turbidity, the concentration of suspended particulate matter, speed and direction of currents, the average size of suspended particles, and salinity and temperature of the aquatic environment. The results of applying a new method for determining the flow velocity and water consumption based on video image processing are presented. Application of the developed methodology makes it possible to obtain the information necessary to analyze the hydrological regime and ecological state of small-river estuaries.

A work accident is one of the risks that can occur in the metal casting industry. Workers' unsafe behavior is the primary cause of occupational accidents. The definition of unsafe behavior is any human behavior that can allow work accidents to occur to oneself or others. The preliminary study results found that 100% of workers had work accidents due to unsafe behavior, and out of 19 workers, 47.3% had insufficient knowledge about unsafe behavior. Counseling using video stop motion is one effort that can be used to overcome. This research aims to investigate the impact of counseling using video stop motion media on enhancing workers' knowledge and safety practices in the metal casting industry. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with a pre-test, post-test, and control group. The experimental group consisted of the workers in the finishing section, while the control group consisted of the workers in the induction section. The Wilcoxon test analysis reveals a significant difference in knowledge and behavior values between the pre-test and post-test, resulting from the use of video stop motion media.  Media. The Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference in the mean value of differences in knowledge and behavior in the pre-test and post-test between the experimental and control groups with a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05). Video stop motion has the effect of increasing the value of knowledge and safe action among industry workers.

Assay Laboratory in PT Freeport Indonesia's Concentrating Division, especially for conducting fire assay. Litharge (lead oxide) is a reagent used to test mineral levels; the content of precious metals is called Au. Although lead exposure is low, prolonged exposure to lead could accumulate in the human system, resulting in poisoning or toxicity. This study aimed to determine the effect of work environment management in assay laboratories on reducing blood lead levels during fire assay analysis. This research is a quantitative cohort study. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data analysis techniques are used in different tests. Data collection was conducted using laboratory tests to take blood samples once a year regularly for every worker working in the assay laboratory. Based on the results of the different tests, a T value of 5,638 was obtained with a Sig value of 0.011 (α˂5%), so it can be concluded that there was a decrease in blood Pb levels in workers before and after managing the work environment. Recommended exposure standards are floor exposure values for laboratories (other than fire test laboratories) not to exceed 2.2 mg/m2 (200 μg/ft2) and surface in dining areas not to exceed 0.43 mg/m2 (40 μg/ft2). Improving working environment conditions by procuring a laundry system and lockers, procuring more than one laboratory coat, procuring sinks in every corner of the laboratory, and having special soap for washing hands has proven to be able to reduce Pb exposure rates in assay laboratories from 2019 to 2022.
"There Are Challenging Cases for Us": A Qualitative Study of Cypriot Midwives' Experiences Investigating Incidents of Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: There are many clinical guidelines worldwide for investigating intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy. However, in Cyprus, these guidelines are not implemented in clinical practice. The midwives themselves choose how to manage the incidents involving pregnant women. This study aims to gain insight into the lived experiences of midwives who investigate incidents of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy.

METHOD: The study is qualitative. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 midwives who work in public and private hospitals, and the community in Cyprus. An inductive thematic analysis was employed for the analysis of data.

RESULTS: The categories that emerged from the analysis of the interviews were: a) challenging cases, b) ambiguous procedures for management, c) barriers in management, d) midwives' needs. The midwives described their various experiences regarding the management of pregnant women who are victims of intimate partner violence, highlighting the emotions and concerns they face. They referred to the different procedures they follow for the care of victims, emphasizing the lack of a unified policy or protocol for handling such cases in Cypriot maternity hospitals. During the investigation, obstacles related to the administrative situation of the maternity hospitals emerged. They mentioned specific ways that would better support them in identifying and caring for victims.

CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the great need for midwives to have continuous and frequent education and training in the recognition and management of victims of violence, as well as the integration of a common tool/guideline for identifying and recording victims in all hospital units in Cyprus. This tool will contribute to the connection and cooperation with other services involved in supporting victims.
