Authors: Matesanz María Majadas , da Silva Caeiro Sandra Sofia Ferreira , Bacelar Nicolau Paula
Published: March 2023

The current eco-social crisis includes global challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation and demographic shifts that call for a global response. The European Environment Agency claims that over the next decade, very different answers will be needed to the world’s challenges than the ones provided over the past 40 years to confront the foreseeable global changes. Higher Education Institutions have their own responsibility in training future professionals in cross-cutting key competences for sustainability, which are defined through different frameworks. Considering that current students will need to overcome global challenges, this research aims to identify the ways in which Higher Education Institutions are anticipating the introduction of key competences for sustainability into the curricula of their programs. Specifically, it aims to detect the perception of the heads of three departments and three faculties of two universities in Spain and Portugal about the presence of key competences for sustainability in the selected degrees. For this study, a qualitative research approach was employed. The methodology used involved the application of interviews to departments and faculties heads. The results showed there is a growing interest in sustainability at Higher Education Institutions, but key competences for sustainability were not yet sufficiently valued as competences needed for the students in the future, in particular those linked with the professional world. Further similar research could be conducted at other levels (master’s degree, doctorate).

Although tourists’ judgments and interpretations are pivotal to fathom the essence behind their behavior toward tourism destination brands, there is a lack of investigation into theories that deal with tourists’ decisions and interpretations. To address this issue, this study investigates two critical theories in the tourism marketing literature: attribution and locus of control theories in the destination branding context. These theories heavily influence tourists’ perceptions and interpretations of the destination brands. Thus, using the PRISMA methodology (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), we inductively evaluated and synthesized the literature on attribution theory and destination branding from highly indexed journals in the ABDC list index. The research encompasses the issues of “What we know?”, “What we do not know?”, and “Where should we be heading?”. This study will better grasp the implications of attribution and locus of control theories in the literature on tourism marketing. The study would also explore how this hypothesis affects travelers’ assessment and interpretation of destination brands. The study found the potential to assess the implications of attribution and locus of control theories in the tourism marketing literature. The research would provide insights into how these ideas affect tourists’ evaluation and interpretation of destination brands. It would also offer other techniques that marketers may employ to influence consumer behavior.
The GHG Intensities of Wind Power Plants in China from a Life-Cycle Perspective: The Impacts of Geographical Location, Turbine Technology and Management Level
Authors: Feng Yashuang , Zhang Lixiao
Published: March 2023

Presented in this study is a comparative life cycle assessment of 60 wind plant systems’ GHG intensities (49 of onshore and 11 of offshore) in China with regard to different geographical location, turbine technology and management level. As expected, geographical location and turbine technology affect the results marginally. The result shows that the life-cycle GHG intensities of onshore and offshore cases are 5.84–16.71 g CO2eq/kWh and 13.30–29.45 g CO2eq/kWh, respectively, which could be decreased by 36.41% and 41.30% when recycling materials are considered. With wind power density increasing, the GHG intensities of onshore cases tend to decline, but for offshore cases, the larger GHG intensity is as the offshore distance increases. The GHG intensities of onshore cases present a decreasing trend along with the technical advancement, and offshore counterparts is around 65% higher than the onshore cases in terms of wind turbines rated at more than 3 MW. The enlarging of offshore turbine size does not necessarily bring marginal benefit as onshore counterparts due to the increasing cost from construction and maintenance. After changing the functional unit to 1 kWh on-grid electricity (practical), the highest GHG intensities of Gansu province increase to 17.94 g CO2eq/kWh, same as other wind resource rich provinces, which significantly offsets their wind resource endowment. The results obtained in this study also highlight the necessity for policy interventions in China to enhance resource exploration efficiency and promote robust and sustainable development of the wind power industry.

Authors: Zhang Kai , Yan Dong
Published: March 2023

Effective residence planning is crucial to encourage sustainable housing development. Residents in densely populated cities inevitably have negative residential experiences caused by compact land use. Still, this situation is improvable through optimizing the physical environment or increasing service facilities that cater to dwellers’ residential preferences. Therefore, understanding the factors impacting residential satisfaction in high-population metropolitan areas is essential mainly. This study surveyed the citizens’ residential environment and satisfaction in dense urban residential areas. Results of this survey indicate that 13 environmental factors significantly impact residential evaluation. Among them, improving ventilation, privacy, and property maintenance can effectively address the adverse effects of densely populated communities. Additionally, neighborhoods or amenities could further impact younger respondents’ residential evaluation. Elderly citizens place high importance on the quality of their indoor living environment. Green space could promote the residential satisfaction of young and more senior citizens. Environmental factors can significantly affect the residential satisfaction of citizens across all age groups with their homes. As a result, real estate planners should provide a range of dwelling unit designs to support housing development. Real estate planners can better understand the needs of potential clients by considering the housing preferences of individuals across different age groups and the surrounding neighborhood. The indoor or outdoor environment might be adjusted to meet households’ demands, while non-essential factors could be omitted to cut expenses. This study might aid in the sound development of dwellings.

Published: March 2023

The production of Portland cement is energy-intensive and polluting. As a result, the search for ecological and economical alternatives has become a global priority. Geopolymers are among the most promising ecological alternatives to Portland cement. Their properties depend on the nature and concentration of the activators. This study investigates the effect of Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio and NaOH molarity on the alkaline activation of natural volcanic pozzolan. The physico-mechanical and microstructural properties of the investigated geopolymer were evaluated using compressive strength, density, porosity, water absorption, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the optimal parameters for activation are a NaOH molarity of 8 mol/L and Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio of 1.2. These parameters enhance the dissolution of the volcanic pozzolan and the formation of a N-A-S-H geopolymer gel, resulting in a dense, less porous matrix with good resistance.
Do Sustainable Consumers Have Sustainable Behaviors? An Empirical Study to Understand the Purchase of Food Products

Published: March 2023

Sustainability and the circular economy (CE) are issues of increasing interest to governments, investors, industry, and civil society; for this reason, the implementation of a business model for circularity and/or sustainability is becoming crucial for achieving and maintaining a competitive advantage for various organizations. In this context, consumers play a crucial role in reducing the environmental impact of business processes through their choices and behaviors. “Sustainable consumption” is a growing global concern that will link human behavior with the planet’s future. Negligent behavior by individuals in their daily lives has a significant impact on the environment, with devastating consequences for the survival of humankind itself. However, even though sustainability issues and the circular economy have now widely involved consumers, making them seem aware of how the behavioral ran has a direct impact on the environment, the percentage of people who accompany this awareness with truly sustainable behavior and who are therefore willing to embrace the goal of “saving the planet” is small. Therefore, this study hypothesizes that from a sample of consumers with a particular interest in environmental and sustainability issues, there are subsamples of consumers who show a particular interest in adopting sustainable purchasing behavior regarding food products. Our analysis adds essential results to the existing literature by using a methodology that can improve the homogeneity of a sustainable consumer dataset to assess consumer behavior. Through cluster analysis, one of the most widely used techniques, it is possible to extract a sub-sample of consumers with conceptions on environmental and sustainability issues that may influence their awareness of buying sustainable food products. The results show the presence of four different consumer clusters, Some consumers are sustainability and environmentally aware, other consumers are indifferent to environmental issues, and finally, some consumers show minimal attention to sustainability but little involvement in activities. The study shows that attention to environmental sustainability has clear policy and managerial and scientific implications that can increase consumer awareness.

It is necessary to review changes in the interactions of indicators following the construction of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) in order to explore the impact of the dam on ecology. Research on changes in interactions among indicators of the comprehensive social–economic–ecology system in the Yangtze River Basin is limited, and the objective of this study was to investigate how this system changed after the operation of the TGD, as well as how the indicators contributed to this change. Here, the correlational network approach using 38 data point indicators from 1949 to 2018 of the Yangtze River Basin was applied to analyze the changes in indicator interactions before and after the TGD operation. The TGD impoundment altered networks of the social–economic–ecological system in the Yangtze River Basin. Indicators are both less positively and less negatively connected. The number of synergy and trade-off networks clusters changed from two (Modularity = 0.33) to -six (Modularity = 0.23) and from two (Modularity = 0.015) to four (Modularity = 0.34) after the TGD operation, indicating that the sustainable development of the Yangtze River Basin might be at a middle level after the TGD operation. Further analysis revealed that the mean annual discharge, downstream fry runoff, and downstream counts of the eggs and larvae of four carp, diatom abundance index, breeding population of Chinese sturgeon, and annual precipitation contributed more to the changes in the networks after 2003.

Background: Monkeypox virus (mpxv) started to spread to Europe and North America at the beginning of the current outbreak in May 2022, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Human Monkeypox (mpox) as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) in July 2022. The aim of this observational analysis is to describe demographical data, symptoms presentation and clinical course till outcome of individuals diagnosed with mpox, between May and October 2022, at our open-access Sexual Health Clinic in IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, Italy. Methods: Among people who accessed our Sexual Health Clinic, we considered, as suspected diagnosis of mpox, individuals with consistent symptoms and epidemiological criteria. Following the physical examination, oropharyngeal, anal, genital and cutaneous swabs, plus plasma, urine and seminal fluid were collected as biological materials to detect mpxv DNA. We also performed a screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Results: Overall, 140 individuals with mpox were included in this study. Median age was 37 (interquartile, IQR 33, 43) years old. Males were 137 (98%) and men who have sex with men (MSM) were 134 (96%). As risk factors, we detected travels abroad in 35 (25%) individuals and close contact with mpox cases in 49 (35%). There were 66 (47%) people living with HIV (PLWH). Most frequent symptoms were fever (59%), lymphadenopathy (57%), cutaneous (77%), genital (42%), anal (34%) and oral (26%) lesions, proctitis (39%), sore throat (22%) and generalized rash (5%). At mpox diagnosis, we also observed N. gonorrhoeae in 18 (13%) cases, syphilis in 14 (10%) and C. trachomatis in 12 (9%). Two (1%) people received a concomitant diagnosis of HIV infection. We attended to 21 (15%) complications, with nine (6%) cases of hospitalization including six (IQR 3,7) median hospital days. Forty-five (32%) patients were treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), 37 (26%) with antibiotics and eight (6%) with antiviral drugs. Conclusions: Similarly to other international cohorts, sexual transmission was most frequently present, and concomitant STIs were common. Symptoms were heterogenous, self-resolving and responsive to therapy. Hospitalization was necessary in few patients. There is uncertainty about the future development of mpox and further studies (e.g., potential disease reservoirs, other possible means of transmission, predictors of severe disease) are still needed.

Authors: Goto Yusuke , Fukunari Kazuhiro , Suzuki Tohru
Published: March 2023

Bovine respiratory diseases (BRD) are associated with various predisposing factors, such as physical and physiological stress factors, and bacterial and viral pathogens. These stressors and viruses suppress immune defenses, leading to bacterial growth in the upper respiratory tract and invasion of pathogens into the lower respiratory tract. Therefore, continuous monitoring of the causative pathogens would contribute to the early detection of BRD. Nasal swabs and sera from 63 clinically healthy calves were continuously collected from seven farms in Iwate prefecture from 2019 to 2021. We attempted to monitor dynamics of BRD-associated pathogens by multiplex real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) using their nasal swab samples. In addition, we attempted to monitor fluctuation of antibody titers against each BRD-associated pathogen by virus neutralization test (VNT) using their sera. In contrast, nasal swabs from 89 calves infected with BRD were collected from 28 farms in Iwate prefecture from 2019 to 2021. We attempted to analyze their nasal swab samples by multiplex RT-qPCR aim to detect BRD-associated pathogens that are dominant in this region. As a result, our analyses using samples from clinically healthy calves showed that positive results by multiplex RT-qPCR were closely related to a significant increase of antibody titers by VNT in bovine coronavirus (BCoV), bovine torovirus (BToV), and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). In addition, our data exhibited that BCoV, BToV, BRSV, bovine parainfluenza virus 3, and Mycoplasma bovis have been more frequently detected in calves infected with BRD compared to those detected in clinically healthy calves. Moreover, the data presented herein revealed co-infections by combination multiple viral pathogens with bacterial pathogens are closely involved in the onset of BRD. Taken together, our study demonstrates multiplex RT-qPCR which can simultaneously analyze multiple pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, and is useful for the early detection of BRD.
Historical Loss of Groundwater-Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystems in Undrained and Artificially Drained Landscapes in Denmark

Published: March 2023

Groundwater-dependent terrestrial ecosystems (GWDTE) have been increasingly under threat due to groundwater depletion globally. Over the past 200 years, there has been severe artificial drainage of low-lying areas in Denmark, leading to a gradual loss of GWDTE nature habitat areas. This study explores the spatial-temporal loss of Danish GWDTE using historical topographic maps. We carry out geographic information systems (GIS) overlap analysis between different historical topographic maps with signatures of GWDTE starting from the 19th century up to a present-day river valley bottom map. We then examine the changes in two protected GWDTE habitat types in different periods and hydrologic spatial locations. Results reveal a decrease in the area of GWDTE over the last 200 years. We attribute this to different human interventions, e.g., drainage, that have impacted the low-lying landscape since the early Middle Ages. We further conclude that downstream parts of the river network have been exposed to less GWDTE habitat loss than upstream ones. This indicates that upstream river valleys are more vulnerable to GWDTE decline. Therefore, as a management measure, caution should be exercised when designing these areas for agriculture activities using artificial drainage and groundwater abstraction, since this may lead to further decline. In contrast, there is a higher potential for establishing constructed wetlands or rewetting peatlands to restore balance.

Published: March 2023

In order to halt the loss of global biodiversity and considering the United Nations Decade for Ocean Conservation Agenda, increasing efforts to improve biomonitoring programs and assessment of ecosystem health are needed. Aquatic environments are among the most complex to monitor, requiring an array of tools to assess their status and to define conservation targets. Although several parameters need to be considered for a comprehensive ecological status assessment, it is important to identify easy-to-apply high-resolution monitoring methods. Shifts in fish composition and abundance are often good indicators of ecosystem health status in relation to anthropogenic activities. However, traditional monitoring methods are strictly related to the habitat under study and cannot be applied universally. This review summarizes the importance of ecological indicators for aquatic environments subjected to anthropogenic stressors, with a particular focus on fish communities and transitional water ecosystems. We describe the main characteristics of both traditional and novel methods for fish monitoring, highlighting their advantages and shortcomings in an attempt to identify simple and reliable ways for a correct evaluation of the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems.

Published: March 2023

There are several sources of mine drainage left over from past mining sites in the Central Slovakian neovolcanites. The neutral pH and high concentrations of sulphates and multiple potentially hazardous elements, such as zinc or manganese, are typical in this region. However, this environment could be home to specific microbiota. The aim of the study was to characterize bacterial populations in mine drainage in the Central Slovakian neovolcanites. Direct microscopic observations, cultivation methods, MALDI TOF mass spectrometry, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing of isolates were used for identification. Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were almost equally represented in the mine water samples. The most abundant bacterium was the genus Bacillus spp. (43.48%). Another large group of bacteria consisted of Proteobacteria (34.78%), represented by Pseudomonas spp. (17.39%), Serratia spp. (13.04%), and Providencia spp. (4.35%). Our data confirm the presence of Bacillus spp. and Pseudomonas spp. as bacterial species occurring in an environment polluted by potentially hazardous elements, which may indicate their bioremediation potential.

Published: March 2023

The huge annual output of coal fly ash is harmful to the environment, but it is widely used because of its good adsorption potential. In this study, using coal fly ash as a raw material and sodium hydroxide as an activator, a novel adsorbent was synthesized at 300 °C and used to adsorb low concentrations of ammonia nitrogen from water. In this study, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and a surface area and porosity analyzer were used to analyze the adsorbent’s physicochemical properties. The results showed that after alkali modification, the activity of the adsorbent had greatly enhanced. The impacts of solution pH, adsorbent dosage, adsorption time, and initial concentration of ammonia nitrogen on the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency were evaluated through a series of adsorption experiments. Moreover, the adsorption data were better fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, indicating that the adsorption process was mainly chemical adsorption and monolayer uniform adsorption. As a result, the new adsorbent is inexpensive and effective, and it could be used to remove low-concentration ammonia nitrogen from water with a maximum removal efficiency of approximately 89%.
Urban Drainage: The Challenges and Failure Assessment Using AHP, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Jemberie Mengistu A. , Melesse Assefa M. , Abate Brook
Published: March 2023

Urban drainage infrastructures are facing critical challenges due to a lack of integrated asset management, periodic maintenance, improper design, and construction methodologies. The objective of this study is to understand the urban drainage challenges and assess the failure causes and their impacts to recommend possible mitigation measures. Drainage failure causes and impacts are analyzed using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) qualitative multicriteria decision model after conducting technical group discussions, interviews, and technical field surveys. The assessment was performed by taking representative samples from both cross- and longitudinal drainage infrastructures. The AHP analysis results showed that approximately 35.5% and 28.6% of failure causes are debris and various solid wastes for cross- and longitudinal drainage structures with correlation coefficients of 0.93 and 0.95, respectively. The result showed that design and construction defects are the second major failure causes. The research results showed that urbanization has a direct relationship with major drainage failure causes, resulting from man-made debris and solid waste clogging. On the other hand, drainage failure caused by siltation, drifts, and vegetation is higher in newly developing semi-urban and agricultural areas. The number of barrels in cross-drainage structures also contribute significantly to cross-drainage failure by creating a flow barrier due to the intermediate columns. The drainage failure impact assessment result showed that both cross- and longitudinal drainage failures primarily impact road pavement following transport disruption and traffic accidents, accounting for 38.5%, 18%, and 16%, respectively. Our research recommended that the mitigation measures for drainage failure are proper asset management and maintenance, appropriate construction supervision, and awareness creation, with weights of 36.3%, 15.5%, and 15.3%, respectively. As a drainage problem mitigation measure, the longitudinal drainage analysis results showed that the provision of a combination of cross-fall slopes, gutter slopes, and local depressions at the inlets can contribute to an increase in the trapping efficiency of the drainage system by 50%, which can reduce surface flooding substantially.

The immense dependence of the growing population on groundwater has resulted in depletion at a fast pace can be seen nowadays. Identifying a groundwater potential zone can be proved as an aid to provide insight to the decision-makers and local authorities for planning purposes. This study evaluated the delineation of groundwater potential zones using integrated remote sensing and GIS approach. Various thematic layers such as geology, geomorphology, lineament, slope, drainage, soil, land use/land cover, and rainfall were considered in this study as these have influence on the occurrence of groundwater and its cycle, and maps have been prepared in GIS domain. Afterward, appropriate weights were assigned to these layers based on multi-criteria decision analysis, i.e., Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Groundwater potentiality has been delineated in different zones (low, moderate, high, and very high) in the study region based on weighted overlay analysis. The study reveals zones with different groundwater prospects viz. low (1.27%), moderate (15.65%), high (75.54%), and very high (7.29%). The ground survey data provided by CGWB (Central Ground Water Board) of nearly 100 wells/dug wells/borewells/piezometers have been used for validation purposes, showing comparable results with the groundwater prospects zones. It also confirms that the majority of these wells fall under very high or high groundwater potential zones. They were also found to be thereby indicating that there is the existence of a permeable reservoir with considerable water storage in the subsurface. One of the most important issues for users and governments is groundwater depletion. Planning for the available groundwater resource is made easier by identifying the potential for groundwater (low to high).

Published: March 2023

Emotional attention bias is an unconscious cognitive process that affects the processing of information. Individuals with positive emotional attention bias tend to have high self-efficacy. In adolescents, high self-efficacy helps them to get through difficult situations. This study seeks to find out the relationship between self-efficacy and emotional attention bias in adolescents by assuming there is a mediating role of positive affect. This is because the behavior and thoughts of adolescents are strongly influenced by affect. The purpose of this study was to examine positive affect as a mediator in the relationship between self-efficacy and emotional attention bias towards happiness and threats related words in adolescents. A total of 87 adolescent participants who were also high school students (M= 16.5) participated in this study. Self-efficacy was measured using the General Self-Efficacy Scale and positive affect was measured using the positive affect dimensions of the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale. Meanwhile, emotional attention bias was measured using the emotional Stroop task. The results using Jamovi's mediation showed that the relationship between self-efficacy and emotional attention bias towards happiness and threats related words was fully mediated by positive affect. This study succeeded in explaining the role of automatic and unconscious cognitive processes in the relationship between self-efficacy and emotional attention bias in adolescents.
