Authors:   RFI of the Ministry of Finance of Russia,  Moscow, Russia, Ershov D.N.
Published: January 2025

The subject of the study is the change in the strategy of low–carbon development in the European Union after the adoption of the "Green Course" in the context of the transformation of the global financial system and the growth of "green" investments. The ambitious policy of the European Union (EU) to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 is hampered by the geopolitical and energy crises, trade and sanctions restrictions, and the destruction of energy infrastructure, which force governments to make adjustments to previously made strategic decisions. In crisis conditions, the EU did not abandon the previously set climate goals, making them even more ambitious. The aim of the work is to establish prospects for the continuation of the EU's "Green Course" in new conditions in order to preserve and increase the competitiveness of their economies by strengthening climate regulation and extending it to other countries. To do this, the EU resorts to non-market measures and mobilizes various mechanisms: political, economic, legal, financial, sanctions, scientific, technological and institutional. Directives and regulations aimed at decarbonization in the long term are being adopted. The article analyzes incentive measures for European producers and the most important initiatives taken both within the EU and internationally to promote their interests, ensure access to critical raw materials and maintain the competitiveness of the European economy. The conclusions are drawn that the variety of measures taken recently indicates that the EU policy on "green" development is becoming integrated and coordinated to ensure a leading position in the field of low-carbon goal setting and the development of legal norms and standards.

Krzywda dziewczynek w klasztornej szkole - o opowiadaniu Róży Ostrowskiej "Dziesięcioro przykazań siostry Imeldy"
Authors: Piechura Kamila
Published: January 2025

The article shows how nuns deal with girls in convent schools. It was shown how the relationships with the mother, with the teachers and with the priest affect young girls locked in a hermetic environment. The research area covered important topics in the socio-political system. One of these topics is the violence by nun guardians used on young girls. The work also addresses the problem of distorted sexuality among the clergy, who, hiding behind their position, feel impunity in the reality around them. The analysis includes psychological issues that deal with the complex structures of religious daily life. In interpreting the reading, tools from feminism, psychology, philosophy, sociology were used. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the lack of relationship with her parents, the struggle with her teacher and the unclear relationship with the priest put the young girl in a no-win position. The main character's alienation, loneliness and lack of trust delineate a specific course of action that will lead her to the final clash with her enemy. The nun, being both victim and executioner, can't stand the tension, and the priest, through his position in the church and the world, suffers no consequences for his immoral actions. The timing of the appearance of Rosa Ostrowska's short story is also important, 1956 was a time of thaw and greater freedom of publishing. The work was intended to critically interpret the church's actions related to the upbringing of young girls and to pay tribute to the author, whose story has been a forgotten item in literature.

The article is devoted to the adaptation of imported cattle in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The aim of the research is to assess the adaptation of breeding dairy cattle imported to the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to the extreme climatic conditions of the region. In the period from 2013 to 2022, 3856 heads of high-yielding breeding cattle were imported: Red Steppe breed, Black Pied breed, Red and White breed and Holstein. The research was based on the annual farm reports and the results of blood molecular genetic diagnostics by the laboratory of Sahaagroplem. Molecular genetic screening for CD18 (BLAD), FANCI (BS) and SLC35A3 (CVM) abnormalities included testing of 463 cattle by PCR-RFLP method. EXCELL BIOTECH reagent kit (Excel Biotech Corp., Yakutsk) was used for genomic DNA extraction. The research revealed the frequency of recessive mutations and showed that the adaptation of imported cattle is complicated by harsh climatic conditions, prolonged stabling, lack of outdoor exercise and unbalanced feeding. All of these factors lead to the underutilization of their genetic potential, recurrent diseases, low calf yield and reduced milk productivity. Comparative analysis of milk yields showed that the average productivity of cows in Yakutia ranged from 2,717 to 3,754 kg of milk per lactation. These results are significantly lower than the indicators of the central zone of Russia. The highest frequency of mutant genotypes of the CD18 gene (BLAD) was observed in the Black Pied breed (2.0%), while the highest frequency of the FANCI gene (BS) was observed in the Kholmogorsky breed (9.52%). At the same time, SLC35A3 gene carriers (CVM) were not found among the tested animals. The results of the research prove the necessity of pre-laboratory diagnostics of breeding cattle. For full disclosure of genetic potential and successful adaptation of cattle to the harsh conditions of Yakutia, cattle breeding farms are recommended to carefully select breeds, take into account their adaptive potential, and provide adequate housing and feeding conditions. Laboratory diagnostics should be continued to further control genetic defects and prevent diseases.
ERA5 CLOUD BASE HEIGHT VALIDATION BASED ON MARINE LIDAR
Authors: Borisov M. A. Borisov , Krinitskiy M. A. , Ezhova E. A. , Tilinina N. D.
Published: January 2025

The Cloud Base Height (CBH) is a key parameter that influences climate conditions and aviation safety. Additionally, in some cases, CBH can serve as an estimate of the thickness of the planetary boundary layer. Accurate assessment of CBH is important for meteorological forecasts and the evaluation of the atmospheric climate characteristics and their trends. This article presents the results of the validation of the Cloud Base Height (CBH) obtained from the ERA5 reanalysis using high-precision data collected from the shipborne lidar of the research vessel “Akademik Fedorov” during the 69th Russian Antarctic Expedition (RAE-69). For validation, the model estimates of CBH from the ERA5 reanalysis, provided at a spatial resolution of 0.25°×0.25° and a temporal resolution of 1 hour, are compared with the lidar data, which were obtained in monitoring measurements with a 1-minute interval. The analysis results showed that the ERA5 data exhibit systematic deviations from the instrumental measurements, which is confirmed by the sample evaluation of the mean bias and standard deviation of the errors in the model estimates of CBH. A similar conclusion can be drawn by examining the quantile-quantile diagram of CBH values in the ERA5 model estimates and the lidar measurement data. The error map analysis of ERA5 reveals an uneven spatial distribution and a significant dependence on the latitude of observations.The results of this research can be used for further research in the fields of meteorology and climatology, as well as for improving the methods of modeling the Cloud Base Height.

Published: January 2025

In the oceanic and atmospheric sciences, various general quantitative indicators, or quality metrics, describe the quality of the various modeling products, including numerical weather prediction, statistical correction, and downscaling. Metrics provide the level of accuracy of model processes reproduction and allow for comparison of models by estimating the uncertainty of their results. This paper presents a classification of the most frequently encountered quality metrics in the scientific literature. Examples are given for each group of quality metrics. In addition to assessing traditional point-by-point metrics, complex metrics that consider various aspects of modeling results are studied. Such specific metrics have an emphasis on the spatial structure, internal correlations, and heterogeneity of the predicted variable fields, ensemble forecasts etc. Special attention in this paper is also devoted to the object-oriented metrics or metrics based for rare and extreme events.

INVESTIGATION OF THE APPLICABILITY OF COHERENT VORTEX STRUCTURES IDENTIFICATION METHODS IN MODEL EXPERIMENTS
Authors: Koshkina V. S. , Gavrikov A. V.
Published: January 2025

Stable in time vortices, which can be considered as coherent vortex structures (CVSs), highly influence processes of momentum, heat and mass transfer in any fluid, including an atmosphere and an ocean. They affect all scales of motion, as a consequence, vortices of all scales play a crucial role in climatological system of Earth. Nowadays the most studied processes in geophysics are large vortices (cyclones), while mesoscale and submesoscale processes in the atmosphere and ocean remain at “gray zone”, especially little information on their impact on the climate scale. Climate assessment requires the ability to automatically identify CVS in spatial data (for example, in numerical modeling data). The main limitation in development of this direction is the lack of strict mathematical definition of a vortex. Some developments in this direction have been carried out in the field of small-scale turbulence, where a number of criteria have been developed. The main advantage of this methodology is the ability to identify vortex motions of any scale and in any continuous medium, the minimum size of the vortex is determined exclusively by the spatial resolution of the data used. The paper examines applicability of these vortex identification methods (VIMs) to significantly largerscale geophysical data. For analysis, the most proven Eulerian methods of vortex identification were chosen, which are Q, Δ, λ2, λci and Rortex criteria. The paper demonstrates the comparison of three generations of VIMs in application to idealized two- and three-dimensional vortices. The study showed that Rortex criterion is the most promising in the case of identification of atmospheric mesoscale processes: it most reliably identifies the CVS, and also provides information about the direction of rotation. The DBSCAN method, used in the study for clustering of individual coherent structures, makes it possible to estimate the geometric properties and various vortex statistics. The developed approach can be used for climate analysis of the dynamics of mesoscale vortices.
ASSESSMENT OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE REPRODUCTION OF SURFACE WATER TRANSFORMATION BY DIFFERENT CMIP6 MODELS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC
Authors: Kukushkin V. M. , Gulev S. K.
Published: January 2025

This article discusses the correctness of the reproduction of density fluxes and transformation of surface waters in the North Atlantic by models from the CMIP6 project. The transformation of surface waters in the North Atlantic is closely related to convective processes and the formation of modal waters. These processes are part of the Atlantic Meridional Circulation Cell and the global conveyor belt as a whole. This study uses NCEP CFSR/CFSv2 reanalysis data as the most reliably reproducing the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere. For comparison, data from the historical experiment of the INM-CM-5.0, MPI-ESM1.2 and MIROC6 models from 1979 to 2014 were taken. All models generally reproduce the seasonal dynamics of density and transformation flows, which depend primarily on heat flows. The models reproduce a positive density flux in winter in the North Atlantic with a maximum near the Gulf Stream. Next, based on TS-analysis, individual surface water masses were identified and the climatic dynamics of transformation rates were analyzed. The transformation rate of individual water masses is most near to CFSR values reproduced by the MPI model, less accurately by MIROC6; the greatest differences with the CFSR reanalysis are reproduced by the INM model.

Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Kim Yeon-Hyang , Baek Mi-Ock
Published: January 2025

Skeletal muscle differentiation is essential to maintain proper posture and long-term functional stability. Understanding the mechanisms regulating myogenic differentiation can facilitate the development of effective therapeutic approaches for muscle degeneration. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of the Cudrania tricuspidataroot extract (CRE) on the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts, focusing on the mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) pathway.
CRE enhanced the insulin-like growth factor 2-muscle-specific enhancer activity,which was suppressed by rapamycin, thereby confirming mTOR pathwayinvolvement. Additionally, CRE significantly promoted myotube formation, fusion, and differentiation and modulated the levels of key transcription factors, myogenic differentiation factor (upregulated) and paired box-7 (downregulated), indicative of early-stage myogenesis. Overall, CRE promoted mTOR-mediated differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts, acting as a novel therapeutic candidate for muscle degeneration and associated disorders.

Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Lim Gwan-Yong , Yoon Cheol , Sung Won-Mo , Kim Woo-Su
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the design of a waveguide-to-microstrip transition for millimeter-wave integrated circuits that fulfills the requirements of the D-band (140 GHz-160 GHz). The proposed transition is vertically structured to minimize loss, transferring signals that propagate from a WR-7 standard waveguide to a microstrip via a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). To enable efficient mode conversion, a patch is inserted between the standard waveguide and SIW. Using HFSS from Ansoft, the frequency characteristics were analyzed by adjusting the patch size and position of the pin, achieving a wideband design. The substrate used for the design is Taconic RF-35, with a dielectric constant of 3.5 (loss tangent 0.0018) and a thickness of 0.254 mm. Simulation results demonstrate a bandwidth from 124 GHz to 163 GHz, with an average insertion loss of -0.9 dB or less and an average return loss of -10 dB or less across the band.

Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Lee Cheong-Hwan , Cho Seong-Jin
Published: January 2025

Advancements in wearable technology have boosted the demand for stretchable electronics with good adhesion to the skin and adaptability to movement. Traditional methods that rely on the use of with adhesives or hydrogels are problematic because they require photolithographic machining, and are characterized by deteriorating adhesion and uneven surface bonding. This study led to the introduction of a five-step physical bonding process that enables the fabrication of circuits that remain conductive under 30% elongation. In addition, adhesion is enhanced by more than 150% by diffusing the curing inhibitor. The improved cost-efficiency and productivity offered by this simplified approach make it highly suitable for the production of wearable sensors.

Published: January 2025

In this study, the fatigue lives of a 300-L high-pressure vessel and 1000-L medium-pressure vessel were determined using ANSYS. The maximum operating pressures were set at 83 and 50 MPa using SA-372 Grade J/Class 70 material. Considering the axisymmetric shape of the pressure vessels, crack shapes were established according to ASME Band PV code standards to evaluate the impact of internal cracks. The analysis results showed that the fatigue life of cracks oriented along the length was significantly shorter than that of circumferential cracks. A trend was observed in which the fatigue life increased as the crack depth decreased, and the fatigue life increased proportionally with the pressure differential. These findings provide crucial information for assessing the safety of pressure vessels and clearly demonstrate the effects of the crack size and operating pressure range on the fatigue life. The results of this study can serve as a foundationfor enhancing the safety of pressure vessels.

Authors: Rifka Inaku  , Fence M Wantu  , Dian Ekawaty Ismail
Published: January 2025

This study investigates corporate criminal liability in public transportation accidents caused by vehicle unfitness, a pressing issue in Indonesia’s road safety framework. While Law Number 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation (UU LLAJ) aims to promote safety, it predominantly emphasizes driver accountability, leaving corporate negligence largely unaddressed. The research aims to analyze the gaps in the legal framework and propose reforms to ensure corporations are held accountable for their roles in maintaining vehicle roadworthiness. Using a normative legal research design, this study integrates statutory analysis, case law review, and conceptual exploration to examine corporate liability frameworks. Legal theories such as vicarious liability, identification theory, and delegation theory are utilized to conceptualize corporate accountability. Case studies and international legal comparisons provide insights into enforcement challenges and best practices. The findings reveal significant deficiencies in UU LLAJ, including ambiguous provisions and weak enforcement mechanisms, leading to systemic non-compliance. Proposed reforms include stricter penalties for corporate negligence, enhanced vehicle inspection protocols, and expanded legal provisions targeting corporate accountability. This study contributes to the discourse on corporate liability by bridging theoretical principles with practical enforcement in Indonesia’s transportation sector. Its implications extend to policy reforms, road safety improvements, and fostering a culture of accountability within the industry.

This paper analyzes approaches to the selection of materials, including stainless steel, composites, textured coatings, etc. D., and also studied innovative options, in particular, the tools and potential of 3D printing, and heat treatment. The conclusions formulated in the article emphasize the importance of achieving and maintaining a balance between traditions and the latest production methods. The above will be useful for craftsmen in the field of forging, designers, architects, and researchers who study the nuances of applying breakthrough developments in art
Depression and antidepressant use among Iraqi doctors, an investigative study using beck depression inventory
Authors: ALI HAMID ABDUL-HUSSEIN
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Doctors are more likely to experience depression because they are subjected to more stress at work than members of many other professions. Long hours, heavy workloads, increasing severity and difficulty of the work and ongoing patient interaction with illness and emergencies, high level of accountability, fast shift within healthcare, organizational limitations such as discriminatory practices and intimidation a lack of independence, inadequate assistance, a decrease in job satisfaction, low morale, and an inability to handle personal responsibilities are just some of the stresses that healthcare workers face.

Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of depression and antidepressant utilization among Iraqi doctors, an investigative study using the Beck Depression Inventory.

Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample conducted on Iraq's medical population using a multi-item questionnaire over 6 months (March – September 2022). Beck's Depression Inventory was used, which contains 21 questions. We used this scale to screen for depression based on self-report. The answers were collected by an online questionnaire that was aimed at the medical population. The test link was distributed amongst doctors groups and answers were limited to one response.

Results: The results revealed that there was a high prevalence of depression and use of antidepressants among Iraqi doctors

Conclusion: Due to the stressful nature of their line of work, doctors have a higher risk of developing depression and are more likely to seek treatment with antidepressants.

The research of an inexpensive adsorbent for the adsorption of RD from its aqueous solution is the main goal of this work. Egg Shell Powdered (ESP), a cheap adsorbent, worked well for the sorption colors from its aqueous solution. This study investigates the possibility of using egg shell powder as an inexpensive adsorbent to remove rhodamine from aqueous solutions. For RD, the effects of primary concentration, sorption duration, and adsorbent quantity on dye removal were examined. An hour was allotted for equilibration. The equilibrium sorption isotherms have been studied using both the linear Freundlich and the Langmuir models.

Aedes mosquitoes, vectors of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever, represent a significant threat to public health due to their role in transmitting these diseases. Their emergence in Chad, driven by increasing urbanization and demographic expansion, raises considerable concerns. The aim of this study is to better understand the diversity and the role of Aedes mosquitoes in dengue transmission in the city of Abéché, Chad.

This is a cross-sectional study conducted over four months, from July to October 2024. Mosquitoes were collected using human bait techniques in nine neighborhoods of Abéché. The samples were then subjected to morphological identification, followed by viral RNA extraction and RT-PCR analysis to detect dengue virus.

The results show that out of 370 mosquitoes captured, 85.9% (n = 318) belonged to Aedes genus, of which 95% (n = 305) were Aedes albopictus and 4.6% (n = 13) were Aedes aegypti. There is no evidence of dengue virus in all analyzed mosquitos’ samples.

This study highlights the significant presence of Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes albopictus, in the city of Abéché, Chad, where they constitute the dominant species. Despite their high abundance and known role as vectors of dengue, none of the analyzed mosquitoes tested positive for the dengue virus. These findings underscore the importance of continued entomological surveillance and further research to better understand the distribution, dynamics, and potential role of Aedes mosquitoes in disease transmission in Chad.

Such efforts are crucial for developing effective vector control strategies and mitigating the risk of dengue outbreaks in the region.
Centering prayer in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Published: January 2025

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental and behavioral disorder that develops from experiencing a traumatic event. A significant proportion of sexual assault survivors develop PTSD. Research indicates that 75% of sexual assault survivors meet the criteria for PTSD one month after the assault. PTSD treatment combines psychotherapy, medication, hypnosis, meditation, and emerging therapies to help individuals manage trauma-related symptoms and regain control over their lives. Nonetheless, despite advances in PTSD treatments, there remains a pressing need for new approaches to address gaps in current care. We recently demonstrated that centering praying (CP) is useful in treating Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: To treat female patients complaining of PTSD due to sexual abuse or rape with CP.
Methods: We will develop a randomized controlled trial studying five females from 18 to 35 years old who complain of PTSD due to sexual abuse or rape. Five women paired in an age without any neurological, psychiatric, or systemic disorder will be the control group. Patients will be randomly selected blindly according to the DSM-5 criteria by two neurologists. Comorbid major psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, or severe medical conditions will be excluded. Each patient and the control subjects will be studied by computer tomography to exclude any neurological condition. Outcome Measures will be the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and the quantitative computer tomography (QEEGt). Secondary outcomes will be the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) to assess depression specifically,
Results: Demographic data showed a significant improvement in patients’ clinical condition assessed by PLC-5 and PHQ-9 after CP treatment. QEEGt records demonstrated a stable pattern in all five patients: an increase of theta activity (4–8 Hz) in the left parietal-temporal-occipital areas of PTSD patients. Figure 3 shows a grand average of the five patients, demonstrating an important augmentation of theta activity in this region. Z-values in the QEEGt map show a progressive decrement of the statistically significant Theta increment above our normative data as long as the CP treatment progresses.
Conclusion: We conclude that CP appears to offer a distinct and accessible pathway for managing PTSD, promoting emotional regulation, resilience, and a sense of inner peace rooted in spirituality.
