Blockchain in Agroecological Certifications: Innovation and the Challenges of Socio-Environmental Autonomy in the Face of Technological Colonization
Authors: Stroparo Telma Regina , Floriani Nicolas 
Published: November 2024

Objective: This article explores the application of blockchain in agroecological certifications, through the theoretical framework of Socially Disruptive Technologies (SDTs), focusing particularly on technosocial disruption, examining how these innovations transform technical processes and the social and cultural dynamics involved.

Theoretical Framework: The theoretical foundation relies on Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which considers technology as an active actor in socio-technical networks. In this context, blockchain is analyzed as a tool that can modify interactions among farmers, consumers, and certifiers. This perspective incorporates discussions proposed by Jürgen Habermas and Herbert Marcuse to explain the risks of technological colonization and instrumental rationality, which may occur when technologies like blockchain are implemented without regard for traditional knowledge and local practices.

Method: Using a qualitative approach and integrative literature review, the research addresses local governance and the risks of technological colonization through observation in rural communities.

Results and Discussion: The results suggest that the disruptive blockchain technology can promote greater transparency and traceability, yet it also presents challenges to the socio-environmental autonomy of rural communities. The social and cultural context of these communities needs to be respected, and blockchain implementation should promote participatory governance that values local knowledge.

Research Implications: This study discusses how the results may be applied or influence practices in the field of agroecology, highlighting the consequences for governance and local autonomy. These implications span areas such as participatory governance, the management of disruptive technologies in agricultural practices, and the preservation of socio-environmental autonomy in certification systems. The research proposes a hybrid governance model for the implementation of socially disruptive technologies, ensuring that they are used as support tools rather than as replacements for local practices.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to essential reflections on transformations occurring in agroecology by exploring the interaction between socially disruptive technologies (SDTs) and their interconnections with environmental autonomy. The research takes a critical perspective on the impacts of SDTs on the traditional practices and knowledge of rural communities. Additionally, it offers an approach that balances technological innovation and the preservation of sustainable practices, thereby promoting the ethical and inclusive use of emerging technologies in agroecological certification and production, serving as a reference for future policies and sustainability practices.

Published: November 2024

Aim. To study the antiviral activity of a soft medicine with mangiferin against the herpes simplex virus.
Materials and methods. The studies used samples of the soft dosage form developed with mangiferin, a xanthone belonging to the class of polyphenols. Mangiferin is a light yellow fine crystalline powder obtained from the leaves of the mango tree (Mangifera indica), (manufacturer Shaanxi, China). The substance contains 98.5 % of mangiferin.
The antiviral activity was studied on Vero kidney cells of an African green monkey obtained from the Cell Bank of the Institute of Experimental Pathology, Oncology and Radiobiology named after R. E. Kavetsky of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The cell cultivation was performed according to standard methods. The cultivation and accumulation of the virus was carried out on Vero cell culture. The infectious titer of the virus was 7.4 log10 TCD 50/ml. The MTT modification analysis was used to study the cell viability. The antiviral activity was studied according to standard methods. The virulicidal activity against HSV-1 was determined by decreasing the cytopathic effect of the virus on cells and the virus titer using the MTT method.
Results and discussion. The determination of the direct effect of the test sample on the extracellular herpes virus (virucidal effect) of an undiluted sample and samples in a dilution of 1:2.5 and 1:5 showed their ability to exhibit a significant virucidal effect against HSV-1 regardless of the dilution used and the exposure time with the virus. It was found that the decrease in the titer of the herpes virus was within 1.7-2.2 log10. When studying the ability of the test sample to influence the development of the cytopathic effect of the herpes virus on cells, it was determined that in dilutions (1:20-1:320), the sample inhibited the reproduction of the virus and the development of HSV-1 on Vero cells compared to the control virus. The greatest efficiency was found when using the sample in dilutions of 1:80-1:320; the reduction in the development of the cytopathic effect of the virus on cells was in the range of 59-64 %. When studying the infectious titer of the herpes virus synthesized de novo after the treatment with various dilutions of the test sample, it was shown that the test sample in the dilutions used did not significantly affect the synthesis of the infectious progeny of the virus, the decrease in the viral titer did not exceed 1.1 log10. Cytotoxicity assays showed that in the dilutions of 1:40 or more, the maximum reduction in cell viability was 18 %, indicating low toxicity of the sample.
Conclusions. According to the results of the study, the ability of the test sample containing 5 % mangiferin to effectively inactivate the extracellular herpes simplex virus Type 1 and significantly inhibit the development of the cytopathic effect of the virus on cells has been found.

Contextes comportementaux de l’émission sonore chez les Holocentridés : synthèse
Authors: Banse Marine 
Published: November 2024

This synthesis addresses acoustic communication in holocentrid fishes, based on the combination of several recent findings from the author’s doctoral thesis and existing literature. To assist readers unfamiliar with the field of acoustic communication, the article begins with an overview of this fascinating discipline, accompanied by a brief introduction to the family Holocentridae. The manuscript then delves into the knowledge gained about the ethology of acoustic communication in this taxon and demonstrates how these research findings enrich this field of study. These results are the product of several months of research conducted in various regions around the world. An extensive data collection (sound and video recordings) was undertaken across the Indo-Pacific Ocean (Seychelles, Philippines, Guam, French Polynesia). These data document the behavioural contexts of sound production in several holocentrid species, based on about 77 hours of video recordings in the natural environment. Additionally, an experiment was conducted in aquariums to study the behavioural response, including sound production, of a holocentrid species to the introduction of a predator (e.g., a moray eel). The large number of species investigated in this research, along with the combination of data from both the natural environment and laboratory experiments, constitutes to my knowledge, the largest dataset on the ethology of sound production ever collected to understand acoustic communication in teleosts.
Development of an air quality indicator as a decision-making tool for urban development
Authors: Falzone Claudia 
Published: November 2024

Au travers des Objectifs du Développement Durable (ODD) adoptés en 2015 par les Nations Unies, les villes ont mis au centre de leurs préoccupations la qualité de l’air lors de leur développement urbain. À l’heure actuelle, les outils à leur disposition pour l’évaluation de la qualité de l’air ne sont pas destinés à de la planification urbaine. Suite à ce constat, cette recherche propose de les outiller à l’aide d’un indicateur basé essentiellement sur des observations. Il présente un avantage en temps et en argent, car aucune mesure de polluant n’est nécessaire et les données sont disponibles librement. Cet indicateur, nommé Air Quality Observed Index (AQOI), pourrait être utilisé à des fins de comparaison de sites ou de projets lors de futurs développements urbains (rénovation ou nouvelle implantation). L’information sera relative à la qualité de l’air et fournirait aux autorités compétentes une aide dans leur prise de décision.

Published: November 2024

In order to investigate the feasibility and applicability of friction pendulum bearings for vibration control of large-span space beam-arch bridges with corrugated steel web box girders, taking the Huian Yellow River Bridge in Guide County, Qinghai Province, China, as an example. A three-dimensional calculation model of the friction pendulum isolation space beam-arch composite bridge with a corrugated steel web was established by MIDAS, the modal analysis was carried out, and the damping effect of the friction pendulum isolation bridge was investigated using the response spectrum and the time history analysis methods; the influence of the design parameters of the friction pendulum isolation on the reduction effect was further analyzed. The results show that the friction pendulum isolation improves the stress conditions of both the girder and the pier and reduces the displacement and acceleration of the pier top, as well as reduces the acceleration of the girder, and the damping ratio is more than 50%. The optimal dynamic coefficient of friction and the radius of curvature for the corrugated steel web composite bridge are 0.04 and 3.0 m, respectively. Friction pendulum isolation has a good seismic absorption effect and provides an effective way for the seismic control of the corrugated steel web composite bridge.
