The Coordinated Development and Identification of Obstacles in the Manufacturing Industry Based on Economy–Society–Resource–Environment Goals
Authors: Yang Jiaojiao , Wang Ting , Zhang Min , Hu Yujie , Liu Xinran
Published: January 2025

Given the deficiencies in the definition of connotation, the construction of index systems, and the coordination of targets within the research on sustainable development in the manufacturing industry, an evaluation index system for sustainable development has been established. This system includes economic benefits, social benefits, resource management, and environmental goals and is built upon a clear definition of the concept’s connotation. The CRITIC–entropy–TOPSIS–CCDM approach is employed for the computation of the coordinated development level of the manufacturing industry. To identify the main factors influencing the coupling coordination degree (CCD) from a mechanistic and compositional point of view, a logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) is used. Furthermore, the obstacle degree model analyzes the factors that restrict subsystem development. The results show the following. (1) The coordinated development level of the Chinese manufacturing industry has been maintained at 0.6–0.7, while the CCD of Hainan, Qinghai, and Xinjiang remains to be enhanced. (2) The key factor affecting the CCD is the coupling degree. The evaluation value of the economy and employment system determines the trend of coordinated development in the regional manufacturing industry. (3) The economic and employment scenarios in most provinces (cities) led to a significant decrease in the CCD compared to the baseline scenario, with average growth rates of −10.55% and −12.69%. This suggests that policymakers’ priorities significantly influence the CCD. The research presents a theoretical framework for assessing the sustainability of the manufacturing industry, offering valuable insights to guide the industry towards more sustainable practices.
Concentrations of Serum Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Lipid Health in Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey 2018–2020
Authors: Shin Min-Won , Kang Habyeong , Kim Shin-Hye
Published: January 2025

Emerging evidence indicates that environmental exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) may influence lipid metabolism, though studies on adolescents remain scarce. This study aimed to investigate the association between PFAS mixture exposure and lipid profiles in Korean adolescents. Using data from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey (2018–2020), we analyzed 824 adolescents aged 12–17 years. Serum concentrations of PFAS, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDeA), and lipid profiles were assessed. In multivariate regression models, PFDeA and PFNA were positively associated with elevated total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and PFDeA was associated with hypercholesterolemia risk in boys. In girls, PFDeA was associated with higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower triglycerides, though no significant association with hypercholesterolemia risk was observed. Bayesian kernel machine regression demonstrated positive associations between PFAS mixture exposure and hypercholesterolemia risk in boys but not in girls. The quantile g-computation model also demonstrated an odds ratio (OR) of 1.47 (95% CI: 0.99–2.19, p = 0.057) for PFAS mixture exposure in boys, suggesting borderline statistical significance. These findings suggest that PFAS exposure may disrupt lipid metabolism, elevating hypercholesterolemia risk in adolescents, particularly boys.

Authors: Jiang Yuling , Ma Jianhua , Wang Yuanbo , Yang Yahan
Published: January 2025

Due to the continuous lack of specific background values (BVs) for soil heavy metals in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain in Henan province (HPHP), many researchers have used soil heavy BVs specific to Henan Province (HP) or Fluvisols of China (FC) as reference criteria to assess soil heavy metal pollution. However, spatial differences in the soil heavy metal BVs between HPHP, HP, and FC, as well as within the HPHP, remain uncertain, affecting the reliability of evaluation results. A total of 897 surface soil samples were collected from the HPHP, with 336 and 561 samples collected from the southern and northern parts of the Shaying River, respectively. According to the obtained results, the BVs of soil Hg, As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Ni in the HPHP were 0.064, 6.67, 0.129, 53.24, 19.67, 22.87, 64.00, and 26.25 mg·kg−1, respectively. The BVs of soil Hg and Cd were higher than those in HP, Fluvisols in Henan Province, and FC, showing strong and extremely strong levels. The BVs of other soil heavy metals exhibited slight differences from the reference BVs. On the other hand, the BVs of soil Hg, As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Ni were 0.066, 4.11, 0.130, 56.72, 20.97, 23.31, 59.21, and 24.03 mg·kg−1 in the southern part and 0.061, 7.45, 0.129, 51.92, 18.96, 22.72, 66.96, and 27.16 mg·kg−1 in the northern part of the Shaying River, respectively. In addition, there were no significant differences in the Hg and Cd BVs between the two parts. Cu BVs in the southern part were significantly higher than those observed in the northern part, while the As, Zn, and Ni BVs in the northern part were significantly higher than those revealed in the southern part. In contrast, the Cr and Pb BVs in the northern part were significantly lower than those observed in the southern part.

Published: January 2025

Long-term fluoride exposure can induce inflammatory responses in various tissues of the body, thereby affecting the inflammatory microenvironment. To explore how fluoride induces changes in immune function within this microenvironment, this study collected baseline information and biological samples from participants in areas with the drinking water type of fluorosis, and simultaneously established Wistar rat models with a 12-week and 24-week fluoride exposure, as well as a 12-week fluoride exposure followed by 12-week pure water feeding regimen. Luminex multiplex assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to measure cytokine expression levels. Subsequently, correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and mediation analysis were employed to explore the long-term effects induced by the complex cytokine network during fluoride exposure. The population survey results indicated that fluoride suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory factors such as Interleukin-2 (IL-2), Interleukin-12 (IL-12), Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and anti-inflammatory factors such as Interleukin-4 (IL-4), Interleukin-13 (IL-13), and Interleukin-37 (IL-37), while promoting an increase in the proportion of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in peripheral blood. Among these, IL-2 and IFN-γ mediated the fluoride-induced peripheral Tregs expansion. Animal experiments indicate that the proportion of Tregs in peripheral blood and immune organs increases in a time-dependent manner with fluoride exposure. After reducing the fluoride concentration in the drinking water of rats, the number of Tregs remained significantly elevated. The changes in Treg numbers in the 12-week fluoride feeding group, 24-week fluoride feeding group, and 12-week fluoride feeding followed by 12-week water improvement group were related to the cytokine levels. Therefore, the impact of fluoride on the immune homeostasis has cumulative and long-term effects, and may be related to the accumulation and migration of Tregs induced by fluoride in an inflammatory environment, mediated by cytokines.

Human biomonitoring (HBM) is a critical tool for assessing chemical exposure in populations and informing public health policies. This study aimed to prioritize chemical substances for the development of a national HBM program in Latvia, addressing the need for systematic evaluation of chemicals in the local context. Initially, 318 chemical substances were reviewed, of which 130 were shortlisted and assessed using an adapted Hanlon methodology. Substances were assessed based on their health significance, hazardous properties, exposure characteristics, national relevance, and public interest. The results identified 30 high-priority substances across various categories, providing a foundation for the HBM4LV program. This prioritization process highlighted the challenges of data gaps, resource limitations, and the need to balance national priorities with alignment to European frameworks. Despite addressing key methodological challenges, the study highlights the importance for ongoing refinement, robust data collection, and strengthened international collaboration to enhance the program’s scope and long-term sustainability. While the methodology addressed key challenges, further refinement and international collaboration are essential to enhance the program’s scope and sustainability.

Published: January 2025

Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a crucial role in the regulation of diverse cellular processes influenced by environmental factors. Nevertheless, the involvement of m6A-modified long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathogenesis of lung injury induced by particulate matter (PM) remains largely unexplored. Methods: Here, we establish a mouse model of PM-induced lung injury. We utilized m6A-modified RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) to identify differentially expressed m6A peaks on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Concurrently, we performed lncRNA sequencing (lncRNA-seq) to determine the differentially expressed lncRNAs. The candidate m6A-modified lncRNAs in the lung tissues of mice were identified through the intersection of the data obtained from these two sequencing approaches. Results: A total of 664 hypermethylated m6A peaks on 644 lncRNAs and 367 hypomethylated m6A peaks on 358 lncRNAs are confirmed. We use bioinformatic tools to analyze the potential functions and pathways of these m6A-modified lncRNAs, revealing their involvement in regulating inflammation, immune response, and metabolism-related pathways. Three key m6A-modified lncRNAs (lncRNA NR_003508, lncRNA uc008scb.1, and lncRNA ENSMUST00000159072) are identified through a joint analysis of the MeRIP-seq and lncRNA-seq data, and their validation is carried out using MeRIP-PCR and qRT-PCR. Analysis of the coding-non-coding gene co-expression network reveals that m6A-modified lncRNAs NR_003508 and uc008scb.1 participate in regulating pathways associated with inflammation and immune response. Conclusions: This study first provides a comprehensive transcriptome-wide analysis of m6A methylation profiling in lncRNAs associated with PM-induced lung injury and identifies three pivotal candidate m6A-modified lncRNAs. These findings shed light on a novel regulatory mechanism underlying PM-induced lung injury.

Published: January 2025

Examining contaminant concentrations in birds in Arctic environments is important for managing species for assessing long-term trends. Recent reports on mercury (Hg) concentrations in Arctic species of seabirds has identified a need for data from missing regions or species. We measured arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), Hg and selenium (Se) in the body feathers of Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) from four colonies in Iceland in 2011 and one in 2009. Puffins forage on small fish at an intermediate trophic concentration. We found that (1) concentrations examined in the colony in 2009 were lower than in 2011 for all metals except As and Hg, and (2) concentrations of Cd and Se varied significantly among colonies for feathers collected in 2011. Pb concentrations in Puffin feathers in one colony were 14-fold higher in 2009 than in 2011 (mean of 805 ng.g−1 vs. 58 ng.g−1). The highest mean Hg concentration in 2011 was 362 ng.g−1 and was 4880 ng.g−1 for Se. The concentrations of Hg in the Atlantic Puffins reported in this study were similar to, or lower than those reported for the same species elsewhere and for Tufted Puffin from the Pacific.

In the Caleri lagoon, a coastal lagoon in the Po River Delta, Northern Adriatic, the transplant of the dwarf eelgrass Zostera noltei was used as a nature-based solution to attempt the ecological restoration of a previously depleted lagoon area. A total of 135 15-cm-diameter sods were transplanted, with the donor site at the Venice lagoon. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), eelgrass transplants were mapped and monitored with great precision. After two years, the area covered by eelgrass increased from the initial 2.5 m2 to 60 m2. Changes in the community structure and on the frequency of biological traits of macrobenthos occurred at the transplant site, with a higher frequency of epifaunal predators and herbivores, and of organisms with longer life spans and larger body sizes. Sensitive and indifferent taxa were always higher in the transplant site than in the bare bottom control site, where opportunistic taxa continued to dominate. Ecological quality status measured through M-AMBI and HBFI indices showed a clear improvement in the transplant site. The rapid changes in benthos demonstrate that even relatively small-scale transplantation of dwarf eelgrass can restore faunal communities very rapidly.
Research on Multi-Objective Reactive Power Optimization of Distribution Grid with Photovoltaics
Authors: Xia Lie , Lin Xiaojin , Zhou Rongrong , Zhang Kanjian
Published: January 2025

With the introduction of large distributed photovoltaic (PV) power and electric vehicles, the inherent volatility of their output makes it difficult for traditional power grid structures and reactive power optimization methods to meet the needs of the safe operation of distribution grids and economic benefits. Therefore, a multi-objective reactive power optimization method for a distributed grid is proposed under a distributed PV power generation scenario. Aiming at the two objectives of the network loss and voltage fluctuation rate, the improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve the model under the condition that the output of each device does not exceed the constraint and the optimal solution that can reduce the distribution grid loss and improve the voltage stability of the distribution grid is obtained. The simulation was conducted on the IEEE 33-node and 113-node distribution networks to verify the proposed method’s feasibility.

Authors: Chen Weiqi , Reifsnider Elizabeth , Liu Cheng-Ching , Chen Angela Chia-Chen
Published: January 2025

Guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), this cross-sectional quantitative study investigated the relationship between key factors and HPV vaccine uptake among Chinese international students (CISs). The sample consisted of 105 CISs attending a southwestern U.S. public university. Participants completed English or Chinese surveys consisting of questions about HPV vaccination status, sociodemographics, perceived risks, facilitators, barriers, knowledge, and cultural beliefs about HPV and HPV vaccination. Findings showed that being female, receiving HPV education, and perceiving higher risks of contracting HPV were associated with receiving at least one dose of HPV vaccination among CISs. Given the current suboptimal HPV vaccination rate among CISs, universities might consider enhancing accessibility to HPV education, making it more inclusive and sex-neutral, and addressing the high risks of HPV infection to encourage their vaccination.
Infrastructures of Migrant Intimacies
Authors: Mankki Laura
Published: January 2025

This paper explores how housing, people and places function as infrastructures in discussions of migrant intimacies. Intimacy is here understood both as relations between humans and as co-becomings with the more-than-human. The concept of co-becoming refers to the ontological thinking that all beings, materialities, places and affects are constituted through relations that are constantly regenerated. Infrastructures are understood not as prefigured objects or structures but as relational, dynamic patterns. Drawing on post-humanist queer theory, the paper develops the notion of the infrastructure of migrant intimacies to portray migrant relations in ways that move beyond normative categories of intimacy. The article draws on a theory-driven analysis of interviews with European Union (EU) and non-EU migrants working in low-paid jobs in Finland. The article addresses the following question: how do human and more-than-human infrastructures converge as intimacies in migrants’ accounts? By focusing on infrastructures, the article offers a nuanced interpretation of how migrant intimacies emerge in the context of precarity as creative, temporary and ambivalent co-becomings that do not easily align with white (hetero)normative notions of intimacy or with some popular queer understandings of intimacy.
Sur la présence de Nitella hyalina (DC.) C. Agardh et du Nitelletum hyalinae Corillion 1949 dans le bassin de Gouzon (Creuse)
Authors: Mady Mickaël
Published: January 2025

Nitella hyalina est signalé pour la première fois en Creuse où il se développe en abondance dans l’étang de la Bastide à Lussat. Ce taxon, associé à d’autres Charophytes silicicoles comme Chara braunii ou Nitella translucens , y structure le Nitelletum hyalinae . Cette association, rare et localisée à l’Ouest et au Centre-Ouest en France, est liée aux bordures plates des étangs mésotrophes à substrat sablonneux et aux eaux claires subneutres à neutres. Elle est aujourd’hui trop souvent amalgamée à des végétations dominées par Nitella hyalina en eaux plus minéralisées relevant des Charetalia intermediae et cette mésinterprétation pourrait conduire à la rejeter comme nomen ambiguum si elle se perpétue. Cette découverte constitue la troisième station limousine actuelle pour cette espèce rare et localisée en Nouvelle-Aquitaine, tout comme pour son association éponyme. Elle peut être interprétée comme une fin d’irradiation des proches foyers historiques de la Brenne, comme c’est aussi le cas pour l’endémique Isoetes tenuissima , ces systèmes de grands plans d’eau anciens mésotrophes du centre de la France étant analogues. L’espèce est menacée dans son unique station creusoise, mais l’intérêt du bassin sédimentaire de Gouzon pour la conservation de plusieurs Charophytes rares à l’échelle régionale (Chara braunii , Nitella syncarpa , N. hyalina ) est une nouvelle fois conforté.
Écologie, démographie et conservation du Tetraplodon angustatus (Hedw.) Bruch et Schimp. en France
Authors: Chelles Sarah , Hugonnot Vincent , Pépin Florine , Philippe Marc
Published: January 2025

Several populations of Tetraplodon angustatus have recently been discovered in the volcanic massifs of Meygal and Mézenc (Haute-Loire). These are currently the only French populations of this species, which is found here at the absolute south-west limit of its European range. This species exclusively colonizes fox excrement deposited as marking on Racomitrium lanuginosum carpets, in scree of large phonolithic blocks exposed mainly to the north. An exhaustive census of the colonies of Tetraplodon angustatus made it possible to count 237 cm² of gametophyte, distributed in three sites and on 25 droppings in total, among which only 7 colonies producing spores. The numbers seem extremely low, which could be detrimental to the maintenance of this cryophile species in the long term, in particular in the face of the effects of climate change. The conservation of this exceptional species is based on a subtle balance between the cold scree of the northern slopes, the fox population and its prey and the Diptera responsible for transporting its spores (entomochory). Extreme caution is therefore required, including drastic measures to allow the natural expansion of the fox population.

La huerta de Murcia (Espagne) : un exemple de périurbanisation
Authors: Hérin Robert
Published: January 2025

En Espagne, la huerta désigne un territoire agricole d'irrigation ancienne, comme celles de Valence et Murcie, marqué par une agriculture intensive et un peuplement rural dense. Historiquement, cette région a survécu malgré les incertitudes climatiques, hydrologiques et sociales. À partir des années 1950, avec l'amélioration de la gestion des ressources en eau et l'exportation des produits agricoles, la huerta s'est progressivement urbanisée. Ces 25-30 dernières années, l'urbanisation autour de Murcie s'est accélérée, fusionnant la ville avec ses voisines et créant des espaces urbains variés, reflétant l'entrée de Murcie dans les dynamiques du XXIe siècle.

Os testes laboratoriais para o diagnóstico da criptococose incluem exame direto, cultura, testes sorológicos, histopatológicos e moleculares. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre as técnicas de diagnóstico e acompanhamento do tratamento de pacientes com criptococose. A revisão da literatura foi realizada nas bases de dados Scielo, Periódico Capes e Pubmed, delimitando os artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2014 a 2023) e foram utilizados os descritores: cryptococcosis AND diagnosis AND laboratory, em inglês e português. Foram excluídos relatos de casos, dissertações, teses, livros, capítulos de livros, revisões de literatura e artigos duplicados. Foram encontrados 359 artigos e após análise, foram incluídos no estudo 55 artigos. Os assuntos mais encontrados foram: testes imunológicos utilizando Cryptococcal Antigen Lateral Flow Assay (CrAg-LFA; no português, Ensaio de fluxo lateral de antígeno criptocócico), descrito em 18 artigos; testes de detecção de DNA, incluindo reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR), amplificação isotérmica mediada por loop (LAMP) e multiplex-PCR, relatados em 17 artigos. Outros testes e metodologias foram relatadas em 20 artigos, abrangendo exame direto, plataforma microarray e outros. As tecnologias de pesquisa de antígeno criptocócico em fluxo lateral (CrAg-LFA) têm predominado, com boa especificidade e sensibilidade, inclusive para acompanhamento de tratamento. Os testes baseados na detecção de DNA mostram alta sensibilidade, e os custos nas últimas décadas tem diminuído. Novas tecnologias têm surgido, demonstrando robustez e técnicas de execução menos complexas, e possivelmente terão maior difusão nos laboratórios, trazendo aumento da sensibilidade e especificidade na detecção da infecção, custos equilibrados e menos tempo para a resposta do laboratório.
CRISIS OF TRUST IN GOVERNMENT: THE ROLE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS IN ITS RESTORATION
Authors: Samoilenko Larysa , Sharyi Viacheslav , Zahrebelna Alina
Published: January 2025

The article examines the importance of citizens' trust in state institutions in the context of modern public administration challenges. It delves into the negative consequences stemming from a lack of trust, which can significantly affect the effectiveness of management decisions, the legitimacy of political processes, and the overall stability of society. In particular, a deficiency of trust can lead to an increase in social tension, rising protest moods, and, as a consequence, the destabilization of the political situation.
The importance of public relations (PR) is emphasized as a strategic tool for managing communication and shaping a positive image of the state. The article underscores the necessity for two-way communication between the government and society, which is crucial for restoring trust during crises. PR professionals play a central role in this dynamic, as they are tasked with shaping and broadcasting messages that align with the needs and expectations of citizens. Their ability to effectively communicate government actions, intentions, and policies is essential for building and maintaining trust.
Additionally, the article provides an overview of the challenges organizations encounter under crisis conditions. It examines contemporary theories of crisis communication and suggests practical measures for enhancing public engagement. Various strategies are analyzed, which government institutions can adopt to ensure transparency, accessibility, and the timely dissemination of information to citizens.
Particular attention is paid to the experience of Ukraine, where statistical data reveal varying levels of trust in different state institutions. The article highlights the critical role of local authorities and the process of decentralization in fostering trust through active collaboration with civil society. Overall,  it emphasizes the need for systemic changes in communication management approaches to secure political stability and promote economic development. Consequently, the key conclusions suggest that effective public relations can serve as a cornerstone for cultivating more trusting and stable relationships between the state and its citizens, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of governance and public administration.
Defending Cloud Web Applications using Machine Learning-Driven Triple Validation of IP Reputation by Integrating Security Operation Center
Authors: Lasantha NW Chanka , Abeysekara Ruvan , Maduranga MWP
Published: January 2025

This paper will present an innovative system method of IPR (IP Address Reputation) validation with the assistance of clause of (ML) machine learning for discovering malicious IPs, while also viewing the importance of security of installed applications on AWS (Amazon Web Services) servers. The ML, SANS and Abuse DB datasets that were verified are being integrated through the Wazuh Security Operation Centre (SOC) stage to consume issues at the log ingesting IP address-related level. Having integrated extraction of IPs Wazuh agents, the output does match MITRE ATT&CK framework-filtered IP address from the Wazuh SOC. These algorithms and models based on natural language processing will flag suspicious patterns across IPs through the process of machine learning and prevent the event of a cyber attack at the time. This integration not only boosts cybersecurity information through a single point source of distribution, but it also provides security finds and other resources to prove and maintain awareness against malicious IPs. The final solution includes using the maximum amounts of bad IPs blocking in the ‘IP-List’ of AWS WAF and, if they are added to the Blacklist automatically, checking them through an automatic ML-based signature validation process.
The Chemoperception of Primary Flavors and its Relationship with Adiposity in Young Adults
Authors: Soria-Lara Dulce María
Published: January 2025

Objective: To study the influence of adiposity (measured through anthropometric parameters) on men and women’s perception of basic taste sensations.
Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted that evaluated anthropometric parameters and chemoper-ception levels for sweet, salty, sour, umami, bitter, astringent and overall flavors in 22 university students from the city of Celaya, Gto., Mexico.
Results: Subjects were classified into four groups according to their anthropometric parameters (BMI, WHR, and FHI) and gender: men with adequate adiposity (AA), men with inadequate adiposity (IA), women with AA, and women with IA. Anthropometric differences were assessed using Student's t-t est, while patterns between flavor perception and anthropometric indices were analyzed using correspondence analysis. Pearson correlation was used to confirm the relationship. Results indicated a higher prevalence of adiposity in men compared to women. Furthermore, in women, excess adiposity influenced the perception of sour, salty, umami, and astringent flavors. In the case of men with IA, statistically significant alterations were observed in the perception of bitter and sweet flavors.
Conclusions: Excess adiposity affects the perception of basic tastes. Furthermore, depending on the distribution of adiposity (type of obesity), the impact varies between men and women, with women being more susceptible to dysgeusia associated with excess adiposity. These findings suggest that the ability to perceive tastes could be related to receptors that also influence the regulation of adiposity.
Separability and a Lax Representation for the Toda Lattice
Authors: Dehainsala Djagwa , Mouanda J. Moussounda , Nono G. F. Wankap
Published: January 2025

We consider the Toda lattice associated to the twisted affine Lie algebra 𝐶𝐶2(1). It is well known that this system is a two-dimensional algebraic completely integrable system. By using algebraic geometric methods, we give a linearisation of the system by determining the linearizing variables. This allows us to explain a morphism between this system and the Mumford system.Finally, a Lax representation in terms of 2 x 2 matrices is constructed for this system.
Renewable energy source facilities as a factor in locational conflicts in rural areas
Authors: Świdyńska Natalia
Published: January 2025

The main purpose of this study has been to determine the emergence of locational conflicts due to the development of renewable energy source (RES) installations. The study employed a diagnostic survey method. The respondents know what renewable energy sources are and support their development. However, the NIMBY syndrome, as well as the very modest participation of local communities in social consultations, have been detected. The fact that any conclusions reached in the course of consultations are not legally binding was emphasised. Thus, local communities seek other ways to block a contested development, which results in protests and, consequently, social conflicts. Conflicts most often arise between local residents and local authorities, and they are principally ignited by fears of an adverse impact of wind turbines on human health. The survey results can fill in the gap and expand our knowledge of RES, social participation and locational conflicts. They can also help to popularise the transition from conventional sources of energy. Legislative changes are necessary to enable people to have a real influence on the space in which they live. It is unwise to hinder the development of wind farms by excessively restrictive laws.
Памятливость и благодарность. Михаил Павлович Азанчевский: загадки личности, судьбы, последующего забвения
Authors: Климовицкий А.И.
Published: January 2025

Посмертно публикуемая статья А. И. Климовицкого посвящена фигуре русского музыканта и музыкального деятеля М. П. Азанчевского (1839–1881), директора Санкт-Петербургской консерватории (1871–1876). Подчеркивается необходимость сохранения памяти об этом выдающемся человеке. В этой связи автор вспоминает о собственных усилиях, предпринятых на рубеже XX и XXI веков, но не получивших поддержки со стороны тогдашнего руководства Консерватории. Предложения Климо­вицкого касались, в частности, восстановления Стипендии имени Азанчевского и присвоения имени музыканта Научной библиотеке Консерватории. В статье приводятся исторические документы и излагаются факты, касающиеся присуждения соответствующей стипендии в конце XIX и начале XX века, а также получения Азанчевским звания Почетного библиотекаря в 1866 году. Вклад музыканта в создание консерваторской библиотеки не был забыт его потомками: сам А. И. Климовицкий в юности узнал полузабытое к тому моменту имя Азанчевского от Е. Е. Шведе (1894–1980), более четверти века возглавлявшей Библиотеку Ленинградской консерватории, и от А. М. Равикович (1892–1980), заведующей ее Иностранным кабинетом. Мемуарные заметки об этих женщинах, продолжательницах дела Азанчевского, естественно вплетаются в основной сюжет статьи, создавая уникальную в своем роде полифонию памятливости и благодарности.

The posthumously published article by A. I. Klimo­vitsky is devoted to the Russian musician M. P. Azanchevsky (1839–1881), director of the St. Petersburg Conservatory (1871–1876). The necessity of preserving the memory of this outstanding person is emphasized. In this connection, the author recalls his own efforts, undertaken at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, but not supported by the then management of the conservatory. Klimovitsky’s pro­posals concerned, in particular, the restoration of the Azanchevsky Scholarship and the naming of the Conservatory’s Scientific Library after the musician. The article presents historical documents and facts concerning the awarding of the scholarship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as Azanchevsky’s receiving the title of Honorary Librarian in 1866. The musician’s contribution to the creation of the Conservatory Library has not been forgotten by his descendants: in his youth, A. I. Klimovitsky himself learned the half-forgotten name of Azanchevsky from E. E. Shvede (1894–1980), who headed the Leningrad Conservatory Library for more than a quarter of a cen­tury, and A. M. Ravikovich (1892–1980), head of its Foreign Cabinet. Memoir notes about these women, continuers of Azanchevsky’s work, are naturally woven into the main plot of the article, creating a unique polyphony of remembrance and gratitude.
Неприятие непривычного. Предисловие к «Лексикону музыкальных инвектив»
Authors: Слонимский Н.Л.
Published: January 2025

Впервые на русском языке публикуется Предисловие к «Лексикону музыкальных инвектив» (1953), составленному Николаем Леонидовичем Слонимским (1894–1995), российским и американским музыковедом, дирижером, лексикографом и компо­зитором, — сборнику критических высказываний о композиторах, начиная с Бетховена. В Предисловии, озаглавленном автором как «Неприятие непривычного», он сообщает, что лексикон включает «нелицеприятные, пристрастные, брюзгливые суждения, авторы которых, как правило, попадают пальцем в небо», и приводит высказывания из разных периодических изданий и книг. Перевод выполнен Ольгой Егоровой.

For the first time, the “Prelude” to “The Lexicon of Musical Invective,” written by Nicolas Slonimsky (1894–1995), a Russian and American musicologist, con­ductor, lexicographer and composer, will be published in Russian. It was originally published in 1953 and is the “anthology of critical assaults upon composers since the time of Beethoven.” In his introduction, titled “Non-Acceptance of the Unfamiliar,” the author informs that “the Lexicon of Musical Invective cites biased, unfair, ill-tempered, and singularly unprophetic judgments” and quotes the statements from various periodicals and books. The translation was made by Olga Egorova.

Цель данной статьи – рассмотреть особенности и перспективы локации микросейсмических событий с использованием оптоволоконного кабеля, установленного в скважине. На основе численных экспериментов и теоретических исследований проводятся оценки чувствительности и неопределенности локации событий, а также определяются максимальные расстояния, на которых возможно обнаружение событий с учетом погрешности в знании скоростной модели окружающей среды. В качестве опорной скоростной модели использована модель с Пильтун-Астохского нефтегазоконденсатного месторождения (НГКМ).

The purpose of this work is to assess specifics and perspectives of microseismic event localization using a fiber optic cable installed in a well. Based on numerical experiments and theoretical research, assessments of sensitivity and uncertainty in event localization are conducted, and the maximum distances for event detection are determined, taking into account errors in the knowledge of the velocity model of the surrounding environment. The reference velocity model utilized of the Piltun-Astokhskoye oil and gas condensate field.

Гипотеза о метеоритном происхождении озера Смердячье, расположенного в Шатурском районе Московской области, была выдвинута в 1980-х годах. Для ее проверки в январе 2024 года сотрудниками кафедры геофизических методов исследования земной коры геологического факультета МГУ имени М.В. Ломоносова выполнены комплексные магнитометрические и гравиметрические работы. Количественная интерпретация аномальных полей показала их соответствие модели кратера, включающей внешний слой метаморфизованных пород во фронте ударной волны и тело ударника. Результаты моделирования доказывают гипотезу метеоритного происхождения озера Смердячье.

The hypothesis about the meteoritic origin of Lake Smerdyachye, located in the Shatura district of the Moscow region, was put forward in the 1980s. To verify it, in January 2024, the staff of the Department of Geophysical Methods of Studying the Earth’s Crust of the Faculty of Geology of Lomonosov Moscow State University performed complex magnetic and gravity survey. Quantitative interpretation of anomaly fields showed their compliance with the model of crater, which includes the metamorphosed rocks outer layer in the shock wave front and the impactor body. The modelling results prove the hypothesis of Smerdyachye Lake meteoritic origin.
La protección de la persona con discapacidad intelectual como víctima del delito en el Código Penal
Authors: Casanueva Sanz Itziar
Published: January 2025

En este trabajo se hace un estudio detenido de los preceptos en los cuales el Código Penal contempla de manera especial a las personas con discapacidad intelectual como víctimas del delito limitándonos a los supuestos en los cuales la víctima es mayor de edad. En un primer momento expondremos el modelo social de discapacidad y discapacidad intelectual del que partimos y, posteriormente, se analizarán dichos preceptos haciendo hincapié en las diferentes expresiones que utiliza el legislador para referirse a las víctimas con discapacidad intelectual, con el objetivo de determinar si se refieren o no a la misma realidad. Asimismo, se intentará dotar de contenido a dichas expresiones y plantear, en su caso, las propuestas de lege lata y lege ferenda oportunas.

La productividad es clave para el crecimiento de las naciones, pero debe comenzar en las unidades económicas básicas. Para lograr una verdadera productividad, es esencial equilibrar todos los factores que componen una empresa, sin enfocarse solo en uno. Este libro propone modelos para mejorar la productividad involucrando todos los elementos de la organización, que actúan de manera interrelacionada. La productividad integral se basa en cinco fases: 1) Medición, 2) Análisis, 3) Evaluación, 4) Planeación y 5) Mejoramiento. Estas fases forman un proceso continuo, donde primero se mide la productividad, luego se analizan las partes que la componen, y se evalúa con técnicas precisas en relación a metas o sistemas similares.
Representaciones del signo «mujer» en las obras de teatro del «Festival de la Mujer» de la Comedia Municipal de La Plata entre 2014 y 2020
Authors:   , Guimarey María
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de mi tesis es desocultar y problematizar las representaciones del signo «mujer» (entendidas como figuras cristalizadas), que las obras de teatro programadas en el «Festival de la Mujer» de la Comedia Municipal de La Plata (entre 2014 y 2020), contribuyen a (re)producir. Con ese fin, me valgo de la primera persona para producir «conocimientos situados» que ponen en juego mi propia subjetividad de actriz y de «mujer». Los datos analizados fueron obtenidos por medio de la reconstrucción histórica de las obras que formaron parte de la programación, así como de entrevistas a sus participantes, y de la recopilación de documentos relativos a la organización del Festival, así como de artículos de prensa y difusión. A partir de aquellos, propongo que el Festival se comporta como una «tecnología social de género» que (re)produce y promueve la introyección de ciertas figuras, que son construidas e imaginarias (es decir, políticas), y al teatro como un «cuadro vivo», en la medida en que (re)produce un sujeto sustancial «mujer» que actúa como referente de cada una de las protagonistas de las obras. Además, desensamblo y problematizo la relación entre las mujeres, la «mujer» y lo «femenino», exponiendo los distintos posicionamientos que han tenido a este respecto las diferentes olas del feminismo. Finalmente, y como consecuencia, retomo las figuras trabajadas en la obra «El segundo sexo» de la filósofa francesa Simone de Beauvoir y propongo analizar el corpus de obras de esta tesis a partir de las figuras de la «Madre», la «Niña/Hija», la «Loca» la «Víctima» y la «Luchadora».
Navigating Bullying in the Digital Age: Supporting Gifted and Twice-Exceptional Students
Authors: Guilbault Keri M.
Published: January 2025

This article examines the complex dynamics of traditional and cyberbullying in educational settings, with a particular focus on gifted and twice-exceptional students. Through the case study of Amara, a seventh-grade coding enthusiast targeted by cyberbullying, the article illustrates how digital harassment can impact students' academic and emotional well-being. It explores the three main roles in bullying dynamics—targets, bullies, and bystanders—while highlighting how gifted and twice-exceptional learners may be particularly vulnerable due to their unique characteristics and asynchronous development. Evidence-based prevention and support strategies are suggested, including digital literacy promotion, the creation of safe environments, and upstander behavior encouragement. Special attention is given to Ohio's administrative code requirements for school bullying prevention policies and the importance of family-school collaboration in addressing these issues.
