Food resources are crucial for conserving endangered species. Quantifying the distribution of food plants and their driving factors in Hainan gibbon habitats helps to understand food supply characteristics and guide targeted habitat restoration. This study was based on a survey of 122 grid plots (20 × 20 m), categorized as food plants by size (large: diameter at breast height [DBH] ≥ 15 cm; small: 1 cm ≤ DBH < 15 cm) and seasonality (dry season and preferred food plants). The results showed: 1) Significant differences in the ecological factors between high-altitude and low-altitude habitats (t = − 9.04–11.03, P < 0.05). 2) Significantly higher species richness (t = 2.08–5.02, P < 0.05) in high-altitude habitats than low-altitude ones, with a long dry season, and preferred food plants were more abundant in the A and C family groups. 3) Key factors affecting the spatial distribution of food plants included elevation, the soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, average temperature, and annual precipitation, with effects varying by food plant type and elevation. These findings indicate that successional low-altitude secondary forests are potential habitats for Hainan gibbons (e.g., family group E) but require further restoration for population growth and spatial expansion. In contrast, high-altitude areas remain ideal. This research underscores the importance of tailored restoration strategies for different food plant groups. Practices, such as thinning, are recommended to enhance food plant diversity and ensure a stable food supply. Future research should focus on human disturbances and plant interactions to fully understand the food plant distribution patterns.

Published: October 2024

The recent 2.3.4.4b clade highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 infected diverse non-human mammalian species globally, gained mammal-to-mammal transmission potential and caused sporadic human infections. However, whether non-human mammals enable the human adaptation of 2.3.4.4b H5N1 to establish human infections is unclear. Gain-of-function research restrictions preclude assessing human adapting mutations of 2.3.4.4b H5N1. Here, we tracked the evolution of 2.3.4.4b H5N1 that infected non-human mammals and evaluated their ability to gain human adaptations. The non-human mammal 2.3.4.4b H5N1 partly acquired classical human adapting mutations, which are identical to the residues of H1N1pdm09 and seasonal human H3N2 viruses while showing a few species-specific adaptations that might be potential barriers for successful human infections. The polymerase complex proteins, PA and PB2, acquired human adaptations in diverse non-human mammals. The human adapting Q591 mutation in PB2 appeared only in the 2.3.4.4b clade but not in previously circulating H5N1 strains. Despite minimal changes in Hemagglutinin (HA), A160T and T199I mutations near the receptor binding site of HA in dairy cattle viruses indicate the rapid HA glycan surface evolution affecting virus entry and immune evasion. The unbiased quantitative assessment of virus adaptations indicated that 2.3.4.4b H5N1 circulating in bears, cattle, dolphins, and foxes show higher human adaptive potential than other hosts. Thus, 2.3.4.4b H5N1 appears to be acquiring human adaptations due to natural selection pressure in non-human mammals. Overall, our study delineates human adaptation and infection risk of specific non-human mammalian circulating 2.3.4.4b H5N1 strains.

Published: October 2024

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a major disease of cattle in the UK, placing a significant economic burden on the taxpayer. The causative agent, Mycobacterium bovis, has a wide host range, including the European badger (Meles meles). While badgers have been implicated in the transmission and maintenance of infection in cattle in areas of endemic disease, their role at the edge of the endemic area is poorly understood. Here we present data on the prevalence of infection in badgers collected along the southern edge of England’s bTB epidemic. Stakeholders across five counties (Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, and East Sussex) submitted found-dead badgers for post-mortem examination and testing by bacterial culture. The overall prevalence, as confirmed by whole genome sequencing, was 6.5% (28/428), ranging between 1.1% (1/88) in Hampshire and 13.0% (14/108) in Oxfordshire. The commonest M. bovis clade in badgers was B6-62, which was predominant in 4/5 counties. B6-62 was also the commonest clade found in cattle and was detected in all counties except East Sussex where, although absent from the cattle population, it was detected in local badgers. This study highlights the co-incidence of infection in badgers and cattle in parts of the southern edge area consistent with localised clustering of infection in both species.
Job Market Indicators in Software Development Sector: A Data-Driven Analysis of Poland and the Baltics
Authors: Żatuchin Dmitrij
Published: October 2024

This study examines the dynamics of supply and demand within the software development sector in Poland and the Baltics during 2023, highlighting the underlying tension between talent availability and market needs. The concept of the "IT bench," similar to a sports team's reserves, illustrates how regional companies maintain a readily deployable pool of talent, underscoring the importance of flexibility and rapid response capabilities in today's volatile market. Using data from industry-specific sources, this research provides insights into demand fluctuations for key roles, such as Software Engineering, Tech Project Management, and Design, along with changes in median salaries in response to external economic pressures. Challenges such as wage growth and the impact of political and economic factors on business conditions are explored, providing context to the evolving dynamics of the software development job market. The methodology applies a collective dynamics framework using a 60-day rolling window to compute time-varying correlation matrices of job market indicators, including role-specific demand and salary trends. This analysis reveals significant correlations between job categories, indicating how shifts in demand for one role impact others. For example, the positive correlation between Software Engineering and Design roles reflects their interdependent nature. In contrast, the inverse correlation between Software Engineering and Sales & Business Development points to strategic shifts in hiring priorities. Key findings indicate that the software development industry is adapting to global tech layoffs and economic uncertainties by emphasising strategic talent management and flexible, project-based teams. The demand for developers in key technologies, such as Java, JavaScript, and Python, remains high, albeit with adjustments to salary expectations and employment conditions to better navigate market challenges. This research highlights the importance of a data-driven approach to recruitment and talent strategy, integrating technological tools with human insight to effectively adapt to the evolving market landscape.

Inversion of Gravity Anomalies by a Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm
Authors: Hosseinzadeh Sanam , Göktürkler Gökhan , Turan Karaoğlan Seçil
Published: October 2024

In this work, we introduce application of a hybrid algorithm (DE/PSO) to estimate the model parameters from residual gravity anomalies due to some simple geometrical bodies. This algorithm combines differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). To investigate the performance of the hybrid algorithm, test studies were carried out using synthetic and field data sets. The synthetic data sets include noise-free and noisy synthetic anomalies. Two published gravity anomalies from Cuba and Canada were used as the field data. In the hybrid algorithm, DE and PSO yield [premature] solutions separately and share their best solutions during an iterative process. An openly accessible metaheuristics package (NMOF) in R programming environment was used to implement the hybrid algorithm. Through simulations using synthetic anomalies, DE/PSO algorithm was successful to provide improved results. In comparison to the solutions from the single algorithms (DE and PSO), the DE/PSO algorithm shows more effectiveness in terms of accuracy and convergence. The true model parameters of noise-free and noisy synthetic gravity anomalies were recovered well by the hybrid algorithm. The results of inversion for the field examples are characterized by low residual values between the observed gravity anomalies and the calculated ones.

Toprak dolgu baraj yıkılmalarının çoğu üstten aşma ve borulanmadan kaynaklanmakta ve ciddi can ve mal kayıplarıyla sonuçlanabilmektedir. Bu sebeple, baraj yıkılmasıyla oluşan taşkının ilerleyişinin incelenmesi ve riskli alanların tespiti, mansap bölgesinde oluşabilecek zararların önceden belirlenmesi ve önlenmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, homojen toprak dolgu barajların üstten aşma ve borulanma sebebiyle yıkılması sonucu oluşan taşkının ilerlemesi ve baraj gövdesinden taşınacak sedimentin taşkın dalgası ile mansaptaki hareketi deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Baraj gövdesi, medyan tane çapı 0,441 mm olan sediment kullanılarak 30 cm yüksekliğinde, 2 m genişliğinde inşa edilmiştir. Baraj gövdesi, standart bir teknikle sıkıştırılmış her biri 10 cm yüksekliğe sahip üç kattan meydana gelmektedir. Deneyler 2 farklı noktadaki kamera ile kayıt altına alınmıştır. Deney sonunda limnimetre ile ölçülen sediment kalınlıkları verileri kullanılarak batimetri grafikleri elde edilmiştir. Borulanma nedeniyle barajın yıkılması, baraj rezervuarındaki suyun baraj gövdesindeki sedimenti mansap bölgesine taşıması ve kret genişliğinin zamanla azalmasından sonra başladığı için suyun üstten aşması durumundakine göre daha uzun sürmüştür. Taşkın dalgası, üstten aşma deneyinde baraj gövdesinin orta kısmını mansap bölgesine taşımıştır. Borulanma deneyinde ise baraj mansap bölgesindeki erozyonun zamanla genişlemesi ile rezervuardaki suyun sağ sahile 60 cm mesafedeki en zayıf kesitten barajı yıkmaya başlaması, baraj gövdesinin sağ sahile daha yakın bölgesinin mansap bölgesine taşınmasıyla sonuçlanmıştır. Deney sonuçları taşkın dalgası ekseninde yayılan sedimentin kalınlığının daha az olduğunu göstermiştir. Borulanma deneyinde sızma-erozyon boyunca baraj gövdesinden taşınan sediment, taşkın dalgasının etkisini ve yayılımını azaltmıştır. Bu azalma, borulanma deneyinde baraj mansabına yayılan sedimentin kalınlığını arttırmış, üstten aşma deneyinde daha uzun ve daha geniş sediment yayılımıyla sonuçlanmıştır.

Authors: Doğan Alican , Toçoğlu Mansur Alp
Published: October 2024

In text mining, sentiment analysis is gaining popularity day by day although it has been recently introduced. One of the important feedback parameters of this research is the opinion about text-based content. The general goal in this aspect is to analyze product and service reviews or comments so that they can be compared and contrasted with each other via the ratings they get. An ensemble method which we have proposed earlier is used in this study to boost the classification accuracy of different conventional single machine learning models. Five analytical models that are related but not identical are implemented and their class decisions are integrated using a special weighted majority voting ensemble mechanism called WMVE to increase the classification score of the data mining technique. Naïve Bayes, OneR, Hoefding Tree, REPTree, and KNN methods are utilized as base classifiers in the ensemble and their class decision are integrated into the WMVE method. At the same time, outputs were compared to the ones obtained by Standard Majority Voting Ensemble (MV) including the same base classifiers. Based on the findings, the WMVE model demonstrated superior performance compared to other classifiers, achieving an average accuracy of 77.35 and F-Score of 77.19 values. Consequently, the ensemble model including WMVE is used to enhance sentiment analysis classification performance.

Published: October 2024

Robot manipülatörlerinin eklem sayıları artmasıyla veya geometrik yapılarından kaynaklı manipülatörün ters kinematik analizinin yapılması zorlaşır. Bu durumda akıllı algoritmalara başvurulur. Bu çalışmada altı serbestlik derecesine (SD) sahip Mitsubishi Melfa RV-7FL-D robot manipülatörün ters kinematik analizi Gri Kurt Optimizasyon (GKO) algoritması ve Çoklu Denemeli Diferansiyel Evrim (ÇDDE) algoritması kullanılarak yapılmıştır. İlk adım için 3 adet senaryo tasarlanarak bu senaryolara ait hedeflenen konum değerleri belirlenmiştir. Ardından MATLAB üzerinde, çalışmada kullanılan robot manipülatörünün kinematiği matematiksel olarak modellenmiştir. Manipülatörün uç-efektörünün hedeflenen konuma gelmesini sağlamak için gerekli eksen açıları akıllı algoritmalar ile bulunmuştur. Geleneksel ve Geliştirilmiş GKO algoritmasıyla elde edilen sonuçlar ÇDDE algoritmasıyla elde edilen sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Optimizasyon sonucu alınan veriler değerlendirildiğinde ÇDDE algoritmasının çok daha hızlı eklem açı değerlerini verdiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Optimizasyon algoritmaları ile yapılan ters kinematik analizi için literatür taraması yapıldığında ÇDDE algoritmasının kullanıldığı bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Çalışma, ÇDDE algoritmasını kullanarak optimizasyonla ters kinematik analizinde literatüre katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.

Published: October 2024

Bu çalışmada, Ukrayna/Kharkiv şehri üzerinde gözlemlenen 29 Mart 2006 tarihindeki parçalı güneş tutulmasına, iyonküre kimyasında önemli reaksiyonlardan biri olan ‘O+ + O2 → O2+ + O’ çarpışması için hesaplanan ortalama serbest yol verilerinin tepkisi incelenmiştir. Hesaplamalarda kullanılan datalar, NRLMSISE-OO atmosfer modelden ve Kharkov saçılma radarından elde edildi. Bu çalışmanın konusu olan ortalama serbest yol verilerinin hesabında kullanılan çarpışma tesir kesitleri, klasik metot kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar neticesinde, ortalama serbest yolun iyonküresel yükseklik artışı ile arttığı görüldü. Tutulma gününde ortalama serbest yol değişimlerinde görülen karışıklıkların, üst yüksekliklere doğru azaldığı tespit edildi. Bu durumun sebebinin, reaksiyonu oluşturan nötr O2 yoğunluğunun artan yükseklikle beraber azalması ve alt iyonküresel bölgelerdeki dış mekanizmaların daha etkin olması gibi sebeplerden dolayı kaynaklandığı söylenebilir. Ortalama serbest yol modeli sonuçları neticesinde minimum değerler tutulma zamanı içinde görüldü.

Generating lattice non-invertible symmetries
Authors: Cao Weiguang , Li Linhao , Yamazaki Masahito
Published: October 2024

Lattice non-invertible symmetries have rich fusion structures and play important roles in understanding various exotic topological phases. In this paper, we explore methods to generate new lattice non-invertible transformations/symmetries from a given non-invertible seed transformation/symmetry. The new lattice non-invertible symmetry is constructed by composing the seed transformations on different sites or sandwiching a unitary transformation between the transformations on the same sites. In addition to known non-invertible symmetries with fusion algebras of Tambara-Yamagami \mathbb Z_N×\mathbb Z_NℤN×ℤN type, we obtain a new non-invertible symmetry in models with \mathbb Z_NℤN dipole symmetries. We name the latter the dipole Kramers-Wannier symmetry because it arises from gauging the dipole symmetry. We further study the dipole Kramers-Wannier symmetry in depth, including its topological defect, its anomaly and its associated generalized Kennedy-Tasaki transformation.

This study analyzes the effect of the mixture of Iroko and Sapelli sawdust on the thermal properties of compressed earth bricks(CEB). Various compositions were carried out for proportions of 15% sawdust consisting of the mixture of two wood species (Sapelli Iroko) in various proportions. The earth+sawdust mixture was stabilized with 8% cement or slaked lime. The hot plate method were used to determine thermal properties of bricks.The presence of sawdust improves the thermal properties of earth bricks. On the other hand, these thermal properties do not systematically evolve in the same direction as the proportion of the species with the greatest density (Sapelli) in the sawdust mixture.

Contemporary Russian Language: De jure and de facto
Authors:   Saratov State University, Myaksheva Olga V. , Sirotinina Olga B. ,   Saratov State University
Published: October 2024

The authors argue that the model of the language policy of the Russian Federation assumes that a single official language, Russian, functions on the territory of the country, and this is legally enshrined in the law on the official language of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts, and state programs. The “de facto” official Russian language is studied in Russian schools, especially in high school, in the format of the unified state examination, which destroys its holistic perception and the possibility of full proficiency. The disciplines “Elective Russian Language Courses”, “Russian Native Language”, which contribute to the in-depth study of the Russian language, often exist only on paper at school, in fact, they turn into rote learning of training materials for the Unified State Exam. The current situation in the world has particularly clearly revealed that the focus on building a consumer society in our country over the past 30 years, globalization processes in the world, the obvious existence of double standards in the behavior of both the whole state and the individual, well-developed methods of fake information etc. entail, perhaps, the most serious danger to the language — the oblivion of the codes of Russian culture. For example, advertising shamelessly exploits the expressive resources of language to increase the demand for its products. As a result of the analysis of the pain points of the existence of the Russian language in contemporary Russia, the following conclusion is made: healing from the moral ailments of modern society is possible only with the understanding that we will save the state if we save our language.
Personal Deixis and Types of Situation: Cognitive-Pragmatic Aspect
Authors:   Xi’an International Studies University, Liu Jue
Published: October 2024

The article describes the cognitive-pragmatic features of personal deixis in combination with the analysis of the types of designated situations. In accordance with the characteristics of the three main parameters of the situation — the subject, time and space on the basis of certainty/ uncertainty of their referential relations and localization/non-localization in deictic coordinates, the author identifies concrete and non-concrete situations as two main types of situations, and on this basis demonstrates and analyzes the close relationship between personal deixis and types of situations. Personal deixis refers to the cognitive and communicative behavior of a person, it reflects the results of the speaker’s cognitive construal of the designated situation and its subject, the flexible use of personal deixis contributes to the achievement of certain communicative goals set by the speaker, which is often observed in literary works. The innovation of the research lies in the revelation of strategies for cognitive processing by speakers of different types of situations in the process of personal deixis. The results of the study indicate that it is sometimes difficult to accurately determine the types of personal deixis, based only on the morphological forms of person, while the types of situations can serve as an important analytical basis for determining its types, and that the cognitive processing of designated situations by the speaker and the splice of different types of situations can bring dynamic variability of personal deixis in real speech communication. The further research prospect of this paper is to reveal the mechanism and laws of the interaction between personal deixis and other categories such as time, verbal aspect, and space in the framework of different types of situations, so as to conduct a more systematic study and description of the personal deixis.

Authors:   National Research Tomsk State University, Demeshkina Tatyana A.
Published: October 2024

The article provides a brief overview of scholarly directions developing within the philological school of the National Research Tomsk State University. It is shown that from the opening of the Faculty of History and Philology in 1917 to the present day, Tomsk philology has been developing on the basis of the main principles that determine its success: a) the combination of traditions and innovation; b) continuity of generations; c) integration of scholarly and educational processes; d) extensive interaction with leading Russian and foreign scholarly and educational centers; e) the pioneering nature of scholarly developments; f) productivity; g) fulfilling the role of an educational center, a popularizer of Russian verbal culture. Along with well-known schools recognized in Russia and abroad (as evidenced by the awarding of State Prizes of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology to two teams), new applied and interdisciplinary areas are actively developing. The results of research are introduced into the educational process, which is manifested in the opening of new programs, the creation of teaching aids, and the development of authors’ courses. Tomsk State University publishes five scholarly philological journals, which occupy high ranking positions and serve as a platform for discussing problems of linguistics, literary criticism, publishing, translation studies, imagology, and lexicography. Philologists participate in the implementation of federal target programs in the Russian language, their research is supported by numerous grants. Throughout their existence, Tomsk philologists have been conducting educational activities in the field of Russian culture, and today young researchers create popular science projects and develop digital platforms for the study of language and literature. Tomsk Philological School is not a geographical concept, since it involves representatives of different universities in Russia, united by the object of research, scholarly approaches, and joint publications. Despite the breadth and uniqueness of scholarly fields, Tomsk philology has common features that characterize it as a single whole.

Published: October 2024

Background:

Curcuma longa Linn. (Zingiberaceae) is a medicinal plant with significant
biological activities owing to curcuminoids (CURs). Nevertheless, its low oral bioavailability
because of low water solubility, inadequate absorption, short half-life, and rapid clearance
hampered its clinical applications.

Objective:

The study aimed to extract, isolate, characterize, and formulate the Phospholipon
®90H complex and evaluate for improved solubility, antiasthmatic and pharmacokinetic
potential of CURs.

Methods:

Phospholipon®90H-based complex of curcuminoids (CPLC) was synthesized via solvent
evaporation technique and reported an improvement of solubility, antiasthmatic, and pharmacokinetic
potential of CURs. CPLC was physico-chemically and functionally evaluated by
Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, powder x-ray diffractometry,
oral bioavailability, and antiasthmatic activity.

Results:

Ethyl acetate rhizome extracts (EARE) displayed ~17.42 % w/w extraction yield of
CURs. CPLC revealed high entrapment of CURs (~ 92.55 % w/w) within the polar head of
phospholipids. Small particle size ~ 194 nm with zeta potential value ~ -20.4 mV suggests the
physical stability of CPLC. Physical analysis evidenced the formation of stable and amorphous
CPLC by establishing hydrophobic and weak intermolecular forces between CURs and Phospholipon
®90H. Undoubtedly, the amorphous CPLC raised the aqueous solubility of CURs (~2-fold)
compared to pure CURs. CPLC formulations (~ 20 mg/kg of CURs, p.o.) significantly lowered
the leucocyte and eosinophil count compared to pure CURs. CPLC improved the oral bioavailability
of CURs compared to pure CURs.

Conclusion:

Results highlight that CPLC could be established as a breakthrough respiratory
nanocarrier for CURs and other phytocompounds with respiratory potential.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: In the pursuit of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, the adoption of
clean energy production has emerged as an imperative strategy. Thin film CdTe photovoltaic
(PV) modules have become widely popular in commercial applications owing to their remarkable
attributes, such as superior absorption capabilities, direct band gap material, and single junction
operational efficiency. CdTe PV modules have secured a prominent status within the photovoltaic
technology landscape by demonstrating a favourable band gap optimisation, better temperature
coefficient, and enhanced energy yield. Method: This research presents an exploration of PV resistance
modelling via a numerical methodology. A comprehensive CdTe PV module model is
developed in the Matlab Simulink environment. Furthermore, the study explores the detailed performance
of a 110 W thin film CdTe PV module. Critical parameters such as open circuit voltage,
short circuit current, and maximum power are subjected to meticulous validation against data
from established commercial photovoltaic modules. The efficiency and fill factor of the CdTe
PV module are judiciously analysed with the changing weather condition. Result: Impressively,
the analysis highlights the model’s exceptional precision under the considered conditions, particularly
in the context of maximum power, where the relative error remains under 0.1%. Remarkably
aligning with reference module parameters, the characteristic PV parameters exhibit remarkable
closeness, with an overall relative error of less than 1.63% for all PV parameters under
standard test conditions. Conclusion: Moreover, a statistical measure named coefficient of determination
‘R2’ is found very near to 1 for all characteristics described and it satisfies the actual nature
of the characteristics curve.

This study aims to examine the influence of influencers, social media advertising, and service quality on purchase intention through brand image. In today's digital era, influencers and social media advertising have a major impact on consumer behavior, while service quality plays an important role in shaping brand perception. This study is important to understand how the interaction between these factors affects purchase intention. The population of this study was Gen Z in Indonesia, with a sample of 208 people. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed via Google Form via social media. Respondents' answers were measured using a 10-point scale. This study uses a Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach based on Partial Least Square (PLS) to test the hypothesis. The results of the analysis show that influencers do not have a significant influence on purchase intention. In contrast, social media advertising, service quality, and brand image have a significant effect on purchase intention. In addition, influencers, social media advertising, and service quality also have a significant positive effect on brand image. These findings provide insight into how these factors influence and affect purchase intention, especially among Gen Z in Indonesia.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of cashless payments on economic growth in G20 countries. Additionally, a comparison of the impact of cashless payments in developed and developing countries is also analyzed. In this study, economic growth is used as the dependent variable, and transaction amounts of debit cards, credit cards, and electronic money are used as the independent variables. Data were collected from various databases for the period 2013-2021 covering a total of 19 countries divided into 10 developed countries and 9 developing countries that are members of the G20. The test results using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) dynamic panel found that all three variables have a significant effect in both developed and developing G20 member countries. Furthermore, the study found that the biggest influence of non-cash payments in developed countries is transactions using debit cards while in developing countries it is transactions using credit cards and electronic money. From these results, it was concluded that cashless payments have an impact on economic growth. It is hoped that these findings will provide new insights into cashless payments and their impact on economic growth.

Unstable economic growth such as during the economic crisis and inequality in the financial inclusion system will have significant implications for financial system stability. Financial instability is characterized by a decline in public welfare, social instability, and broad economic losses. This study aims to examine the effect of economic growth, inflation, and financial inclusion on financial system stability. The analysis technique used is ECM. The dependent variable of financial system stability is measured by the Financial System Stability Index (ISSK) while the independent variables are economic growth, inflation, and the ratio of general banking credit to GDP and the volume of electronic money transactions to measure financial inclusion. The research data is secondary data with a quarterly period of 2012-2022. The empirical results of this study found that in the short term an increase in bank credit to GDP will increase stability. Meanwhile, an increase in economic growth, inflation, and the volume of electronic money transactions will reduce financial system stability.

Authors: Martini Chiara
Published: October 2024

Since the 2015 "long summer of migration" and the tightening of EU migration policies, grassroots solidarity movements along the Balkan Routes have resisted the border regime by providing support to people attempting to reach Europe. Over the years, a dynamic network of individuals and organizations has engaged in solidarity practices, mutual aid, and care to challenge borders, question humanitarian logic, and address divisions based on class, ethnicity, and gender. This paper examines the practices of autonomous groups operating in transit zones in Greece, Bulgaria, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, focusing on how they navigate power dynamics and intersectional inequalities in their solidarity efforts. It highlights the political and transformative potential of their work, even when not overtly contentious, through an analysis of the spaces they create, the practices they employ, and the meanings they attribute to their actions, emphasizing the importance of mutual aid and care in disrupting hegemonic migration policies.
