The article presents the results of agroecological tests of varieties of various ecological and geographical origins in the conditions of the Ryazan region. The agro-climatic characteristics of the cultivation region are analyzed and the parameters of the varietal reaction to the conditions of moisture availability of the growing season are established. Over the past few decades, local climate warming has been recorded in the Ryazan region with an increase in the number of dry years. Over the years of research, temperature values exceeded the long-term average by 2‑6°C, the sum of active temperatures averaged 2400‑2600°C, the amount of precipitation during the growing season varied in the range of 255‑265 mm, while the value of the GTC averaged 0.7‑1.1. The duration of the growing season of the studied varieties in years with optimal moisture availability (GTC0.7‑1.4) was 95‑105 days, with a lack of moisture – 78‑95 days, with excessive moisture – 98‑125 days. The yield of soybeans is directly affected by moisture availability during the critical periods of budding – flowering – fruit formation. With an increase in temperature values and a decrease in the amount of precipitation, yields naturally decrease. The maximum yield of soybeans reaches at a temperature of 20‑24°C and precipitation of 100‑120 mm in the period R1–R6 (flowering – full filling of seeds). The most precocious soybean varieties were of the northern ecotype, followed by southern and Far Eastern varieties. The amount of precipitation that fell in July was critically significant for soybean varieties of the northern ecotype, the generative development and subsequent seed productivity of southern and Far Eastern varieties were significantly influenced by precipitation in August. The purpose of the research was to determine the reaction of soybean varieties of different ecological and geographical origin to the conditions of moisture supply in the Central Non-Black Earth Region. Thus, in order to reduce the risks of loss of potential yields in years different in agrometeorological conditions, it is recommended to fill the assortment with varieties of different ecological and geographical origin that are able to mature stably in the region, as well as under optimal agro-climatic conditions to ensure high yields and protein harvesting per unit area

This research endeavours to investigate the exploration and adoption of generative AI in digital media production, specifically focusing on rural communities. By employing a mixed-method approach involving surveys and in-depth interviews, the study seeks to evaluate the awareness, usage, and perception of generative AI applications among rural students. Assessing these factors not only sheds light on the current landscape but also offers implications for future interventions and policies aimed at fostering AI literacy and innovation in rural areas. This research inquiry seeks to enhance our comprehension of AI adoption dynamics in rural settings. By doing so, it aims to support informed decision-making and targeted interventions to effectively utilize generative AI's transformative capabilities in digital media production.
AI-POWERED RESTORATION OF VINTAGE FILMS INTO NEW CINEMA: HARMONIZING CREATION AND AUTOMATION
Authors: R Sathiamoorthy , B Senthil Kumar
Published: August 2024

The revival of classic films has made significant progress thanks to Artificial Intelligence-powered restoration methods. The AI produces a restored film with improved brightness, resolution and color while preserving the original film content through complex algorithms. The purpose of the research is to analyze the opinions of viewers and historians about films restored with artificial intelligence and to address the ethical issues associated with AI restoration. Data was collected on likes and dislikes of viewers of AI-restored movies on YouTube, and the survey analyzed 375 people watching the vintage movie and its restored version. Analysis results show that AI-restored movies have better resolution, color and sound quality than the original vintage footage. Historians argue that AI algorithms can change the historical meaning and authenticity of the original work and undermine the original artistic intent of old films. The difficulty with artificial intelligence is finding a balance between technical progress and maintaining creative and historical integrity, which requires strict ethical standards to prevent potential harm. Preserving the integrity and true historical accuracy of original content and maintaining public trust require transparent practices, rigorous authentication procedures, and careful navigation of copyright, ownership, and consent issues. The rights of content producers, communities and individuals must be respected to ensure that AI-assisted restoration is carried out responsibly and ethically. The power of artificial intelligence in the restoration of old films has great potential to preserve and celebrate our film heritage.

Published: August 2024

Syringomatous tumor, first described in 1983, is a rare benign clinical condition that can affect the breast. Its infiltrative form is often misidentified as malignant pathologies, as it can present as a subareolar lesion with suspicious clinical, mammographic, and ultrasound findings for malignancy. The exact origin of these lesions remains uncertain; however, they may manifest as a unilateral or bilateral subareolar nodule with symptoms such as pain, edema, nipple enlargement, and nipple discharge. Despite local infiltration, there is no evidence of regional or distant metastases. Local complete excision appears to be an adequate therapy, with only cases that were incompletely excised showing recurrence. Below is a case report of a syringomatous adenoma infiltrating the nipple, with complete resection and nipple reconstruction using oncoplastic techniques.
The Appeal and Perils of Religious Nationalism: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Harder Joseph
Published: August 2024

The question of how Christians should engage politically is a matter of perennial debate. Ever since the time of Emperor Constantine and the “Christianization” of the Roman Empire, a particularly fraught question is the relationship between Christianity and political power. In Europe’s medieval kingdoms, Christians wielded tremendous political power, and even after the rise of secular nation-states, a Christian worldview remained heavily influential. The process of secularization has meant that that influence has waned, and some Christians have adopted the rhetoric of “Christian nationalism” in a defensive effort to hold onto power. This article seeks to describe the appeal of this political ideology in Central and Eastern Europe, in the context of secularization, with reference to parallel trends in the United States. It also provides a theological critique of some of its problems, including its idolatrous tendencies.
‘Why Christianity?’: An Analysis of Radical Orthodoxy’s Preference for Christian Theology over Platonism/Neoplatonism
Authors: Lumbanbatu Kornelius
Published: August 2024

This paper contributes to the scholarly discussion on Radical Orthodoxy by analyzing its retrieval of Christianity. Such analysis will be grounded in two questions, each concerning reasons underlying the Radically Orthodox theologians’ usage of Christian theology despite their dependence on the Platonic notion of participation (μέθεξις) and the validity of the movement’s position if its proponents were to lean instead on Platonism/Neoplatonism. To answer these questions, the author formulates a two-fold explanation constructed through library research. The first part investigates the Radically Orthodox theologians’ argumentation for using Christian theology as shown in the work of John Milbank and Conor Cunningham. The second part evaluates a hypothetical case in which Ralph Cudworth, the Cambridge Platonist with whom the Radically Orthodox theologians claim resonance, were to argue for Radical Orthodoxy’s antisecular agenda.
Analgesia induced by ibuprofen and extract of XL E MS in preclinical murine assays

Published: August 2024

Several medicinal plants are used empirically as analgesics because their mechanism of action is not known. The study presented is related to the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of a crude extract of XL E MS that is used in different types of pain. The efficacy of the extract was compared with that of ibuprofen based on its ED50's of dose-response curves of each substance in the murine models of acetic acid writhing (WT), tail flick (TF), formalin hind paw (FHP), hot plate (HP) and Complete Freund´s adjuvant (CFA), tests. The data exhibit he following order of potency for ibuprofen: TF > CFA 1 DAY > CFA 7 DAYS > FHP II > FHP I > HP > WT. In the case of the XL E MS extract, the order of potency obtained was: CFA 7 DAYS > CFA 1 DAY > WT > FHP I > FHP II > HP > TF tests. The results demonstrate that XL E MS extract is less effective than ibuprofen in all the murine assay, with the exception of CFA 1 DAY, CFA 7 DAYS and WT. This difference could be due to the fact that the extract does not activate the same mechanisms or mediators of antinociception and anti-inflammation that ibuprofen triggers and the characteristics of the pain induced by each test. The results obtained suggest that although the effect of XL E MS extract is relatively moderate, it is useful as an analgesic-anti-inflammatory agent when used in traditional herbal medicine.

Published: August 2024

The welding process is widely used for joining in machine construction and steel construction. One popular welding method today is SMAW. SMAW welding is effective and practical because it only requires simple tools and electrodes in its use. According to research before, the higher the viscosity value of the coolant used, the higher the tensile strength produced by using various coolants such as aloe vera gel, banana stem extract, and water. Therefore, this research aims to use readily available coolants, especially in the production workshop environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of different welding currents on the cooling liquid on the welding results of SS400 steel material. In this research, the creation and testing of specimens were conducted in several places. The creation of specimens was carried out at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of Muhammadiyah University of Jember, the welding process of the specimens was conducted at the Job Training Center (BLK) Situbondo, and the tensile and bending tests were conducted at the Material Testing Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Malang State Polytechnic. This study uses SMAW welding with an E6013 Ø2.6mm electrode and SS400 steel material. After welding, the specimens were immersed in cooling liquids, namely 10% dromus, radiator coolant, and SAE 40 oil. The results of the research on the SMAW welding process for SS400 steel showed that immersion using SAE 40 oil produced the highest tensile strength at both 80A and 90A currents, which were 28.79 kg/mm² and 28.22 kg/mm², respectively. Meanwhile, the bending test results showed two different outcomes: at 80A current, immersion welding using radiator coolant produced the highest bending strength at 1067.77 kgf/mm², whereas at 90A current, immersion welding using dromus produced the highest bending strength at 1130.22 kgf/mm².

Briquettes are an alternative fuel based on biomass waste which is available in very abundant quantities, one of which is coconut shell waste. The briquette processing process is generally still done manually. Therefore, a machine with automatic control using an electro-pneumatic system was built with the aim of avoiding product failure due to human error and this machine will be useful for UMKM. The working principle of this machine is to use a screw  press for printing and electro-pneumatics for the cutting step. From the results of the design for this briquette printing and cutting machine, the briquettes produced have a diameter of 52 mm. This briquette printing and cutting machine uses a motor power of 0.75 HP and a rotation of 3500 rpm. The printer screw  rotation speed is 28 rpm which is produced by using 2 inch and 5 inch pulleys and using a WPA 40 reducer gearbox with a ratio of 1:50. Meanwhile, for cutting using a sensor to detect the length of the briquette, it will then be cut by a plate connected directly to the pneumatic cylinder
Evaluation of PVT Comparisons and GOR Prediction Based on Advanced Mud Gas Data: A Case Study From Snorre Field

Published: August 2024

The use of real-time advanced mud gas (AMG) analysis in oil and gas exploration has been well known for at least 15 years. In recent years, its application in production fields has become more prevalent. The advances in mud gas extraction and analysis techniques combined with directional drilling tools provide more confident data, allowing the identification of formation vs. injection fluids, as well as movable contacts. This analysis during the drilling process results in more informed decisions during drilling, aimed at maximizing production value Over the last decade, the field of advanced gas analysis has developed a method to correct constraints upon the varying efficiency of extraction for specific species of interest associated with a constant volume, constant temperature mud gas extractor. This method has become recognized in the industry by the name extraction efficiency correction (EEC). EEC provides the quantitative composition of formation fluid in real time by analyzing methane through pentane components. These results are comparable to downhole pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) samples and have been used to optimize wireline tool runs and fluid sampling programs over the years, but this application is not limited to exploration wells. A technique presented by Yang et al. (2019a) has demonstrated the potential of machine-learning predictions, like gas-oil ratio (GOR) using EEC compositional data. More recently, results shared by Kopal et al. (2022) demonstrate the optimization of reservoir analysis when integrating petrophysical with the GOR prediction. This paper presents a case study based on the analysis of several zones in development wells of the Snorre Field in Norway. The consistent dynamic EEC data from AMG are demonstrated to successfully distinguish the types of fluids compared to PVT samples in the field. These data are presented as continuous logs, allowing for the evaluation of reservoir zone thickness. This information is available while drilling; with modern real-time data services, operators can access it from almost anywhere. The model of GOR prediction proposed by Yang et al. (2019a) is applied by the operator to this Snorre example. The results are demonstrated in the paper when compared to those of GOR production. Promising results from machine learning generate confidence in the applicability of quality AMG data to development wells for real-time petrophysical and operational decisions. The field case demonstrates a new and broad application area for advanced mud gas in production wells.
A variational method of slope stability assessment
Authors: Zhabko A.V.
Published: August 2024

The article discusses the variational method of assessing slope stability, which is based on the limit equilibrium method, but in contrast to the engineering techniques of stability assessment allows a mathematical justification (the variational calculus) of a single most dangerous slip surface in the rock mass, including the torsion angles and distribution of the interslice forces in its various sections. The main ideas and provisions of the proposed theory or concept, i.e. the variational method of slope stability calculation, are: 1) definition of the shape and position of the slip surface in the rock mass should be justified by strict mathematical (variational) methods, rather than by selection of the slip surface of a specified shape, for example, a circular slip surface; 2) calculation or assessment of stability, and more specifically, calculation of the shear and cohesion forces at various sections of the slip surface, depending on the geometry of the slip surface and the slope, as well as mechanical characteristics of the rocks and contact surfaces, is carried out using different composite functions (summarized force). The author demonstrates in the article that when applying engineering methods for calculating the stability of slopes for various types of their stability loss, in contrast to the variational method, their limiting (design) parameters are sharply overestimated. The author believes this to be the root cause of many accidents associated with the failure of slope structures. Application of the variational method of slope stability assessment allowed to establish new forms of slope stability loss and explain the abnormally steep slope angles of shear sites observed in practice.

ISLAM, EMPIRE, AND IDEOLOGY: Lord Stanley and the Intersection of Islam and Politics in 19th Century Europe
Authors: Hasbi Baiquni , Khitam Husnul
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This article delves into the political biography and thought of Lord Henry Stanley, a member of British House of Lords, who embraced Islam in the mid-19th century. Through a global history perspective, this article’s analysis draws on Stanley’s personal writing, historical records, and parliamentary debates to trace his trajectory and analyze his political thought. By locating Stanley amidst the context of 19th-century international politics, Stanley’s biography and political thought challenged the dominant narrative portraying European officers merely as colonialist and imperialist. It also complicates the conventional narrative between Islam and the Christian West dominantly depicted as always an antithesis. Throughout his career in the British House of Lords, Henry Stanley consistently pinpointed the values of justice, which he believed were deeply rooted in the Islamic political system, amidst the increasing racialization of Muslims both in Britain and within the increasingly Eurocentric international community. Although Stanley did not challenge British imperialism in Asia and Africa, he did challenge several British policies in India and the Straits of Malacca, which he thought was the result of British arrogant attitude toward non-European political order.

ACESSO À JUSTIÇA EM FACE DO VIÉS JUDICIAL
Authors: SOUSA SUZY , Mathis Armin , Cerqueira do Santos Junior Paulo
Published: August 2024

Esta pesquisa objetivou medir empiricamente o viés de judicial em ações cujas partes estejam litigando em igualdade de condições no sentido jurídico-formal, porém caracterizadas por vantagens econômicas de um litigante em relação ao outro. Definiu-se o litigante mais forte: a mineradora Vale, cuja atuação no Pará tem gerado conflitos envolvendo diversos atores, cenário que busca no Poder Judiciário a resolução do impasse. A partir da análise de decisões proferidas por juízes de 1º grau em processos cíveis, verificou-se que a Vale tem maior probabilidade de que a decisão judicial lhe seja favorável, mormente nos municípios onde há projetos de exploração mineral. O viés judicial a favorecer a mineradora demonstra que o desfecho do processo pode ser definido não pela prevalência do melhor direito, mas pela pretensão da parte mais abastada, restando prejudicada a que se encontrava em desvantagem, em dissonância com a pretensão do acesso à ordem jurídica justa.
REVENDO RAWLS E OS PRINCÍPIOS DE JUSTIÇA A PARTIR DA CRÍTICA PROCEDIMENTAL HABERMASIANA
Authors: Ribeiro Moreira Eduardo , Bunchaft Maria Eugenia
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho objetiva realizar uma síntese da obra A Theory of Justice, de John Rawls, por meio de um mapeamento das principais críticas que surgiram no debate teórico estabelecido no âmbito da filosofia política, analisando a crítica habermasiana às concepções de posição original, de consenso sobreposto e de razão pública. Defende-se, como hipótese provisória, a tese de que, embora a liberdade seja prioritária no sistema de Rawls e consiga transcender os interesses individuais, abarcando, também, os sociais, a atualização rawlsiana do imperativo categórico não se revela suficientemente procedimental e deliberativa, inviabilizando a assunção recíproca de perspectivas dos participantes. Sustenta-se que, não apenas, a estabilidade do consenso sobreposto pressupõe a aceitação fática (e não aceitabilidade racional), mas que, apesar da diferenciação dos três tipos de justificação, o consenso sobreposto razoável permanece desprovido de sentido universalista e procedimental. A pesquisa utiliza o método reconstrutivo de Habermas, que encontra potenciais emancipatórios na própria sociedade. Como técnica de pesquisa, usa-se a documentação indireta por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica que irá incidir sobre o marcos teórico de Rawls. Também, serão usados os marcos teóricos de Will Kymlicka, Amy Gutmann, Herbert Hart, com ênfase nas críticas procedimentais de Habermas.

Colonization and Eugenics Renewed in International Migration
Authors: Gomes Cristina
Published: August 2024

Latin American migration to the USA and Canadian labor markets has been historically determined by economic factors as the USA pays higher salaries compared to Latin American countries. However, since 2007, increases in violence, organized crime, insecurity, political intolerance and environmental disasters in Latin America, Africa and Asia have increased the number of forced displacements of large population groups of migrants from the Global South who have migrated to Latin America looking to cross the US border. The strengthening of the border controls has limited their aspirations and countries like Brazil and Mexico are now countries of transit and also of residence for migrants. The article adopts a methodology of integrative review of migration, colonization, slavery, eugenics and racism in Latin America to analyze how the history of colonization, racism and eugenics in the region is reproduced against large population groups of Black immigrants from Haiti and Africa, who are compelled to escape a second time due to the xenophobia and racism historically reproduced in these societies. Results indicate that eugenics, racism, and xenophobia have intersected in Latin America since the formation of national states, with the acceptance of the population miscegenation and homogenization, through population engineering projects of “The Cosmic Race” in Mexico and “Racial democracy” in Brazil, which are reproduced until current days with explicit xenophobia and racism against Black migrants and refugees.
Destabilizing to Stabilize: Interstate Dispute Escalation & Leadership Transitions in China
Authors: Zeilberger Tamar
Published: August 2024

I show that China’s leaders have a history of militarily escalating disputes with other states in the time directly preceding and succeeding leadership transitions. In fact, over 60 percent of incidents of escalation by China that occurred between 1989 and 2013 transpired around leadership transitions. I theorize that this previously unidentified pattern of escalation is motivated by concerns over domestic instability, and that it represents concessions to China’s hawkish issue publics to shore up stability at critical junctures. I illustrate the logic of that strategy with a simple formal model. Using maximum likelihood estimation, I find that there is a significant positive relationship between interstate dispute escalation and leadership transition. Of note, it is generally accepted that China has favored win-win diplomatic solutions to its disputes with other states. Instances of escalation have thus been largely categorized as aberrant behavior. My identification of this pattern of escalation challenges this logic and suggests that the militarization of disputes has at times been a routine and strategic undertaking by the leaders of China’s Communist Party.

Interoception, our internal sense of bodily signals, is a key transdiagnostic factor for psychopathology and somatic diseases. Given its clinical relevance, there is growing interest in unraveling the etiology of disruptions in interoceptive processes. The present study employs meta-analytic methods to summarize findings on the role of one hypothesized determinant of interoception: child maltreatment. Strictly adhering to PRISMA guidelines, we provide an overview of existing literature and investigate potential differences in the relation of distinct types of child maltreatment and interoceptive dimensions. To this end, we undertook a systematic search of relevant studies in August 2023. Our final selection criteria included (1) empirical studies on human subjects and (2) studies that report or provide data to calculate correlations of child maltreatment (≤ 18 years) and interoception. This search yielded 17 studies to include in the present meta-analytic review. We found that a history of child maltreatment was not linked to interoceptive accuracy, sensibility, or awareness. However, child maltreatment – most notably emotional maltreatment – was negatively correlated to body trust (r = -.19 to -.08), a central element of interoception. The importance of investigating the relationship of child maltreatment and interoception lies in its potential to shed light on the mechanisms underlying long-term effects of child maltreatment on mental and physical health. Additionally, insights from this analysis could inform the development of targeted interventions to reduce the adverse consequences of early life stressors.
Lost in the Design Space? Construct Validity in the Microfinance Literature
Authors: Masselus Lise , Petrik Christina , Ankel-Peters Jörg
Published: August 2024

Our paper examines construct validity, an often neglected yet important element affecting the generalizability of individual study results. Construct validity deals with how the operationalization of a treatment corresponds to the broader construct it intends to speak to. The universe of potential operationalizations is referred to as the design space. As an empirical example, we systematically review 45 microfinance Randomized Controlled Trials to estimate the size of the design space. Variations in the treatment operationalization matter for the observed effect. We also show that most papers generalize from the operationalized treatment to a broad construct, mostly without acknowledging underlying assumptions.
Conceptualization and Preliminary Testing of the Research Instrument Validation Framework (RIVF) for Quantitative Research in Education, Psychology, and Social Sciences: A Modified Delphi Method Approach
Authors: Villarino Resti Tito
Published: August 2024

Background: The quality of instruments used in quantitative research is crucial for scientific rigor in education, psychology, and social sciences. However, current validation approaches often lack comprehensiveness and fail to integrate multiple validity dimensions.Objective: This study aims to develop and validate the Research Instrument Validation Framework (RIVF) using a modified Delphi approach. The RIVF is grounded in contemporary validity theories, including Messick's Unified Theory, Kane's argument-based approach, principles from Classical Test Theory, Item Response Theory, and cross-cultural validity.Methods: A three-round modified Delphi study was conducted with 22 experts from educational measurement (n=7), psychological assessment (n=6), social science methodology (n=5), and cross-cultural validation (n=4). The study, spanning December 2023 to June 2024, employed open-ended questions, structured questionnaires, and consensus-building rounds. Qualitative data were analyzed using MAXQDA 2020, while quantitative analyses used IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.Results: The final RIVF comprises 21 criteria across the face, content, and construct validity domains. Consensus was achieved on all criteria (greater than 80 percent agreement), with Kappa statistics indicating slight to moderate agreement between domains (0.04–0.11).Conclusion: The RIVF offers a comprehensive, theoretically grounded approach to instrument validation, addressing gaps in existing practices. While achieving consensus, the Kappa statistics suggest areas for refinement. Future research could focus on empirical testing, reliability assessment, user-friendly implementation guides, and exploring artificial intelligence integration to enhance accessibility and streamline the validation process, ultimately improving research quality across disciplines.Keywords: instrument validation, modified Delphi technique, quantitative research methodology, validity assessment
Usefulness of Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in Bioremediation of Benzo[a]Pyrene in Diesel Oil- Contaminated Soils
Authors: Abbruzzese Vito
Published: August 2024

This study examined the usefulness of a solubilising agent, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD), in enhancing benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) bioavailability and, hence, its mineralisation in five soils with different characteristics. [7,10-14C]B[a]P mineralisation was determined using a respirometry system, whereas 14C-B[a]P partitioning in soils was measured through a sequential extraction with CaCl2, HPCD and alkaline extractions. The first experiment determined the effects of HPCD concentrations on B[a]P mineralisation in diesel oil-unamended or amended soils at different rates and frequencies for 30 days. The second experiment evaluated the effect of soil properties, e.g. total organic carbon (TOC) and texture, on the HPCD bioavailability enhancement factor. HPCD concentration resulted in affecting its bioavailability enhancement factor for 14C-B[a]P catabolism by determining significant differences (P < 0.05) between mineralisation values at different diesel oil rates and frequencies. One of the soils in the presence of 50 mM HPCD exhibited a 14C-B[a]P mineralisation (53.8%) following preexposure of 150-d to a 5000 mg Kg-1 diesel oil concentration. TOC content resulted in affecting the 14CB[a]P partitioning. However, microbial induction through diesel oil preexposure was detected to be the main factor for B[a]P degradation. These outcomes indicate that the usefulness of HPCD in bioremediation of B[a]P in contaminated soils is minimal, possibly limited to specific soils with particular characteristics.
Ontologies for Sustainability: Theoretical Challenges
Authors: Ubbiali Giorgio A. , Borghini Andrea , Lange Matthew C.
Published: August 2024

The lack of sustainable practices in key sectors of human societies is a global concern, held by some to threaten the life of the whole planet. To date, we have found that no studies review ontologies in terms of sustainability. This paper aims to fill such a gap. In Section 1, we outline the three major challenges associated with sustainability: 1) the polysemy of the term; 2) the relationship between sustainability and sustainable development; and 3) the complexity underlying sustainability. In Section 2, we review the main accomplishments achieved so far by ontologies to meet these theoretical challenges. We devote special attention to ontologies belonging to the OBO Foundry due to the pivotal role these play in the field of applied ontology. We provide a List of Sustainability Ontologies documenting the resources we assessed. To conclude, we advance a potential trajectory to further develop an OBO Foundry-compliant family of sustainability ontologies.
Influence of wind speed on canopy Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) measurements for forest ecosystem
Authors: Zhang Yuan
Published: August 2024

Wind speed can affect the observation of canopy vegetation index. When the wind blows, plants will swing, and the spatial structure of the canopy will change. This change may affect the vegetation index measurements. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from satellite remote sensing was chosen as the index to explore the influence of wind on canopy measurements for forest ecosystems. Our results show that wind speed has a positive influence on the measurements of NDVI on the whole. While for four main forest types: Deciduous Broadleaf Forests (DBF), Evergreen Broadleaf Forests (EBF), Evergreen Needleleaf Forests (ENF), Mixed Forests (MF), the performances are different, the corresponding value is 0.002, -0.004, 0.003, 0.001 when the wind speed increases by 1m. This effect has a negative to positive trend with the increase of latitude. This study provides a reference for the effect of wind speed on vegetation canopy structure measurements.
