The Impact of Green Knowledge Management on Sustainable Development Goals and Green Innovation in French Economic Firms: A Structural Analysis
Authors: Alioune Abdelhak 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The study aimed to test the impact of Green Knowledge Management (GKM) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Green Innovation (GI) in economic firms. The researcher collected data from lower, middle, and upper-level managers of small, medium, and large-sized manufacturing and services firms located in France. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to explore how GKM processes (creation of green knowledge, acquisition, sharing, and application) impact SDGs (environmental, social, and economic sustainability) and GI (green technology, management innovation). According to the results, GKM significantly impacts both SDGs and GI. The dimensional analysis indicated that, except for acquiring green knowledge and its application, it showed an insignificant impact on green innovation. Finally, firm size and industry type were examined in relation to SDGs and GI. Regarding SDGs, firm size presented significant positive results. However, an insignificant result was found for firm size concerning GI. Similarly, the role of industry type was examined in relation to SDGs and GI, revealing significant results for both paths.
Proceedings of the Second Symposium of the Dionysius Circle: Platonic Participation without Platonic Forms: Thomas Aquinas on the Key Insight of Dionysius’s De divinis nominibus
Authors: Zoll Patrick 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
According to Aquinas, the Platonic doctrine of participation can be disentangled from a commitment to the theory of Forms which Aristotle attributes to Plato. In this article, I argue that we can learn three important things from close examination of this key insight. First, we can better understand Aquinas’s view of how the participation of an effect in its cause works. Second, the Platonic doctrine of participation can play an important role in explaining and defending Christian doctrines such as the doctrine of creation and the doctrine of divine simplicity. Third, it is possible to combine the Platonic doctrine of participation with Aristotle’s alternative account of forms into a coherent and powerful metaphysical synthesis.

ABSTRACT
Drought, as abiotic stress, has significant detrimental effects on the growth, physiology, yield and nutritional quality of plants. The distinctive characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs) significantly contribute to essential physiological processes, indicating their considerable potential in promoting plant growth. This study investigated the effects of different NPs, including aluminium oxide nanoparticles (ANPs), silica nanoparticles (SNPs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNPs), on the growth and photosynthesis of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) seedlings under drought stress conditions. The growth characteristics of okra plants were assessed after 48 days of watering. Photosynthetic parameters like photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), stomatal conductance and water use efficiency (WUE) were measured with a portable photosynthesis system. The results demonstrated that both ANPs and SNPs can promote the growth and photosynthesis activity of okra plants, with SNPs exhibiting a stronger effect compared to ANPs. The administration of 50 mg · kg−1 SNPs for a defined period demonstrated the most pronounced enhancement in growth and photosynthetic properties. In contrast, TNPs were found to have a significantly harmful influence on the growth and photosynthetic properties of the okra plant. These findings lay an important foundation for assessing the effects of nano oxide particles on okra plants.
Challenges and Strategies in Elephant Conservation: A Comprehensive Review of Land Use Impact and Management Approaches in Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, India
Authors: Kumari Indu , Pradhan Lolita , Chatterjee Sudipto 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, a critical habitat for elephant conservation in the Dalma Landscape, is increasingly experiencing the multifaceted impacts of climate change. This study reviews secondary literature to examine the consequences of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes on elephant populations, emphasizing the exacerbating effects of climate-induced alterations. The sanctuary faces challenges like habitat degradation and fragmentation, which impede wildlife movement and intensify human-wildlife conflicts, particularly with elephants. These issues are now compounded by climate change, which is altering vegetation patterns, water availability, and seasonal behaviours of wildlife, further straining the delicate balance of this ecosystem. This paper methodically dissects the literature, highlighting how climate change interplays with existing environmental stressors, affecting the conservation strategies and viability of elephant corridors. The review also considers management strategies, underscoring the need for adaptive measures that address the dual challenges of habitat degradation and climate change. By broadening the scope to include the climate change dimension, this research not only underscores the researcher’s comprehensive understanding of the sanctuary’s ecological challenges but also aligns the study with global environmental concerns, making it relevant in the context of contemporary wildlife conservation efforts. Through a structured approach, the paper is divided into sections that explore the sanctuary’s ecological significance, the factors impacting elephant populations with a focus on climate change, and methods for studying human-elephant conflicts in the context of a changing climate. This comprehensive analysis aims to identify research gaps, propose adaptive conservation strategies, and contribute to the broader understanding of how climate change is reshaping wildlife conservation paradigms.
Economic development instruments employed following the closure of an industrial plant – the example of Polish municipalities
Authors: Cybulska Magdalena 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article addresses the issue of the impact of industrial plant closures on the economic policies currently being pursued in Polish municipalities. The survey indicated differences between municipalities that have experienced industrial plant closures and those that have not. The nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test indicated statistically significant differences in the overall approach of municipalities to the economic policies currently being implemented (attracting large and foreign investors), and in their use of several economic development instruments – namely, investment fairs, business incubators, investor services at the office and job activation programmes. The results show the importance of instruments for shaping the local labour market and indicate areas of support that are also relevant from above the local level in terms of territorial policy objectives.
Study of the Influence of Temperature and Pressure on the Intensity of Gas Hydrate Formation
Authors: Pavlenko Anatoliy 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The paper analyses the influence of pressure and temperature of gas and liquid on the process of hydrate formation, proposes equations that allow to predict the course of heat and mass exchange processes of gas hydrate synthesis and estimate the amount of gas hydrate obtained at given thermodynamic parameters. The synthesis of gas hydrates begins with the creation of appropriate thermodynamic conditions in the reactor. However, the formation of hydrate layers on the surfaces of gas bubbles in bubbling or high-speed mixing technologies has peculiarities associated with the fact that the temperature and pressure of the gas change depending on the bubble size fluctuations. This should be taken into account when determining the conditions of hydrate formation. To this end, the article proposes a mathematical model that allows the thermodynamic conditions of synthesis to be optimised. The obtained results can be used to design process equipment and optimise its parameters.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Agriculture is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and has great potential for mitigating climate change. For example, agriculture in Latvia was the second largest sector of GHG emissions after energy with a 22.2 % share of total GHG emissions in 2022. The study aims to compare and analyse the amount of GHG emissions generated by agriculture per domestic product (GDP) and population in different European countries. The ambitious goals set in Europe for 2030 envisage a 30 % reduction in the industry, however, in some countries, these indicators have not only decreased in recent years but also increased. The structure of GHG emissions in 2022 in Europe is as follows: intestinal fermentation (181.1 MtCO2e), agricultural soils (112.9 MtCO2e), and manure management (61.7 MtCO2e). Agriculture is one of the main sources of GHG emissions and has great potential for mitigating climate change. This study aims to compare and analyze GHG emissions from agriculture in European countries against GDP, GDP against population, and population in 2022.

From 1934 to 1938, he taught at the Department of Faculty Surgery of the Perm Medical Institute, where he prepared his Ph.D. thesis, which he defended at the Leningrad State Institute for Advanced Medical Training in 1938 and moved to Leningrad. In 1953–1955, V. I. Kolesov headed the Department of General Surgery, and in 1955–1976 – Department and Clinic of Faculty Surgery of the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute named after Academician I. P. Pavlov. On February 25, 1964, for the first time in the world, Vasily Ivanovich sewed the distal end of the transected mammary artery into the end of the circumflex artery of the heart in a seriously ill man without coronary artery perfusion. At the end of the 1960s, V. I. Kolesov began performing anastomoses using the ASC-4 vascular stapling device, as well as devices designed by his son, E. V. Kolesov (ASC-UV and ASC-VAK), which significantly reduced the time of formation of a vascular anastomosis on a beating heart. On February 5, 1968, V. I. Kolesov for the first time operated on a patient 7 hours after her ECG registered myocardial infarction, and on May 17 of the same year, he restored the blood supply to the heart of a patient with unstable angina, proving for the first time in the world the possibility of surgically preventing the development of myocardial infarction. V. I. Kolesov published about 200 scientific papers, including 8 monographs on general, thoracic and cardiac surgery. Vasily Ivanovich and Evgeny Vasilyevich Kolesov were the authors of more than ten global and domestic priorities. V. I. Kolesov was awarded two Orders of the Patriotic War, I and II degrees, the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, medals «For the Defense of Leningrad», «For Military Merit», «For Victory over Germany», as well as many honorary insignia.

THE OBJECTIVE was to evaluate the immediate results of open reconstructive operations for renal artery aneurysm.METHODS AND MATERIALS . From March 2019 to September 2023, 55 patients with visceral artery aneurysms were operated at the Department of Vascular Surgery at the Pavlov University. 4 patients with renal artery aneurysms were operated on by open surgical method and 5 patients underwent endovascular operation. There are two clinical cases of open reconstruction of renal artery aneurysm in situ and one ex vivo. In all cases, the indication for the operation was the presence of a symptomatic aneurysm. For in situ reconstructions, a retroperitoneal thoracophrenopararectal access to the tenth intercostal space on the left side with the opening of the left pleural cavity and partial diaphragmatic cavity and a transverse laparotomy of «chevron» type were used. Autovena was used as a bypass. For surgery of the renal artery ex vivo laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantation of the kidney was performed. In the near postoperative period, we made the assessment of the patency of the reconstruction zone using MSCT angiography, the analysis of indicators of renal function.RESULTS . All the observations noted satisfactory near-term results – the reconstruction zone is unobstructed, indicators of renal function without negative dynamics, absence of clinical manifestations of this pathology. Long-term results (observed for more than 4 years) were traced in one patient. During this period, normal renal function and adequate functioning of the reconstruction zone are maintained.CONCLUSION . Open reconstructive surgery in the surgical treatment of renal artery aneurysm remains relevant due to the inability in some cases to perform its endovascular correction without high risk of ischemic damage to the parenchyma of the kidney.

INTRODUCTION. The Zenker’s diverticulum is a protrusion of the wall of the pharyngeal-esophageal junction from the area of the Killian triangle as a result of persistent spasm of the cricopharyngeal muscle. The prevalence of the disease in Russia is 3 cases per 100 thousand people, in the world 0.01–0.11 %.METHODS AND MATERIALS . At the N. N. Burdenko Faculty Surgery Clinic of the I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University 2 patients with small diverticulum underwent endoscopic tunnel cricopharyngeal myotomy and 3 patients with large diverticulum underwent video-assisted transaxillary diverticulectomy.RESULTS . Compared with surgical methods for the treatment of Zenker’s diverticulum endoscopic methods have a lower complication rate, but a higher recurrence rate.CONCLUSION. Despite the introduction of new treatment methods, it is advisable to adhere to a differentiated approach to the treatment of Zenker’s diverticulum. Surgical treatment is indicated for patients with a large diverticulum in the absence of contraindications to surgery. Transluminal endoscopic methods, including cricopharyngeal tunnel myotomy, can be considered as a treatment for patients with small-sized Zenker’s diverticulum, as well as patients with large diverticulum who have concomitant diseases and contraindications to traditional surgery.

Authors: Hidayati Fithriyah Nurul , Fatmawati Nor Laili , Muntaha Muntaha 
Published: November 2024

Background
Adapting to diverse communication practices prevents conflicts and promotes smoother interactions. It necessitates innovations like Virtual Culture Tour (VCT) in CCU learning. VCT provides real-world and interactive cultural learning. This research explores VCT's implementation in EFL CCU classrooms to enhance intercultural communication and surveys student responses.
Methodology
The research uses a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative data from CCU classroom observations and interviews at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta and Maritim Class of Global English Course, and quantitative data from questionnaires surveying the students' responses.
Findings
The use of VCT in CCU classrooms has effectively promoted intercultural communication for EFL students. In formal classes at PBI UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta, VCT followed a structured process, including guided tours and virtual interactions with native speakers. Non-formal classes offered more flexibility, allowing students to explore at their own pace and engage in follow-up communication activities. Students responded positively, with 95.82% strongly agreeing on VCT's effectiveness. These findings highlight VCT's success in enhancing intercultural communication.
Conclusion
The use of VCT in CCU classrooms has promoted EFL students’ intercultural communication in both formal and non-formal learning contexts because of its flexible steps of implementation. It encouraged students to respond positively to the use of VCT in CCU classrooms.
Originality
This study highlights the novelty of using VCT as a digital tool to overcome space, time, and financial barriers in promoting intercultural communication in CCU classrooms. It also explores VCT's implementation in formal and non-formal learning settings and surveys students' responses.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the extent of functional improvement following primary total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis and to compare the trajectories of self-reported and performance-based measures of physical function. DESIGN: Longitudinal systematic review with meta-analysis METHODS: We searched 3 electronic databases from January 2005 to February 2023 for longitudinal cohort studies involving adults with knee osteoarthritis undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty. Estimates of self-reported and performance-based physical function were extracted presurgery and up to 5 years postsurgery. Risk of bias was assessed using a 6-item checklist. Self-reported function scores were converted to a 0-100 scale (higher scores indicate worse function). Mixed models provided pooled estimates after excluding low-quality studies. RESULTS: Out of 230 relevant studies, 72 (n = 19 063) of high quality were included in meta-analyses. Self-reported function significantly improved from presurgery (55.6/100; 95% confidence interval [CI], 53.1 to 58.1) to 3-6 months postsurgery (21.1; 95% CI, 17.9 to 24.3; P<.001). A small decline in self-reported function occurred at 6-12 months (31.0; 95% CI, 25.8 to 36.2; P<.001), with no further change at 12-24 months (30.9; 95% CI, 23.2 to 38.6; P = .919). Performance-based measures exhibited variable trajectories, with most estimates indicating no clinically meaningful improvement following total knee arthroplasty. CONCLUSION: Total knee arthroplasty resulted in clinically meaningful improvements in self-reported function at 3-6 months postoperatively. There was some deterioration in function after 6 months, and at no other time point did the estimate reach a clinically important change. There was limited evidence of clinically meaningful improvements in performance-based measures of physical function at any time point. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2025;55(1):1-11.

Inhibition of lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A suppresses adenomyosis through reduction in ectopic endometrial stromal cell proliferation, migration, and invasion
Authors: Cui Limei , Sang Changmei , Li Ruoqing , Zhao Shuping 
Published: November 2024

Objective:
Deep endometriosis is now referred to as adenomyosis externa, whereas adenomyosis is once known as endometriosis interna. Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A, commonly LSD1) is a lysine demethylase that targets histone and non-histone proteins. This study aimed to assess how KDM1A affects the migration, invasion, and proliferation of adenomyosis-derived endometrial stromal cells (ESCs).

Material and Methods:
Immunocytochemistry staining was used to identify primary ectopic endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) and eutopic endometrial stromal cells (EuESCs) were isolated and purified from patients with complete hysterectomy for adenomyosis. Cell counting kit-8 assay, colony formation, wound scratch, and transwell assays were used to investigate the effect of silencing KDM1A on the inhibition cell viability, colony, migration, and invasion, respectively. Mechanistic investigations were carried out by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Results:
Vimentin staining was highly positive and cytokeratin staining was nearly negative in EESCs and EuESCs. KDM1A silencing reduced the ability of EESCs and EuESCs to proliferate (P < 0.001). The proliferation, motility, and invasiveness of EESCs and EuESCs were markedly reduced when KDM1A was silenced (P < 0.001). KDM1A silencing substantially downregulated invasion- and migration-related proteins or genes according to Western blot and qRT-PCR analysis (P < 0.05). EESCs and EuESCs with KDM1A silencing showed a higher reduction in these proteins than the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
In adenomyosis, silencing KDM1A can limit the motility, invasiveness, and proliferation of EuESCs and EESCs. These outcomes could potentially correlate with the decreased expression levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, MMP-9, Fascin, and Erzin proteins.

Authors: Mohapatra Liza , Kar Bikash Ranjan , Singh Surabhi , Singh Bhabani STP. , Dixit Nibedita 
Published: November 2024

Objectives:
Keloids are often difficult to treat and have a high chance of recurrence. Multiple modalities of therapy have been tried with variable success rates. Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA) remains the most common modality of treatment of keloids. We have conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of intralesional injection TA versus intralesional vitamin D3 (VD3) in keloids.

Material and Methods:
Group TA (n = 30) received an intralesional TA 40 mg/mL, and group vitamin D (VD) (n = 30) received intralesional VD3 (cholecalciferol) 60000 IU every 4 weekly till 12 weeks and all the patients were followed up for another 4 weeks. At each session, the scar size was assessed by the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), and the Visual Analog Scale assessed the pain.

Results:
The mean score of VSS was significantly decreased in both group TA (7.91 ± 1.5–4.9 ± 1.6, P < 0.001) and group VD (7.84 ± 0.8–5.0 ± 1.6, P < 0.001). The pain was severe in group VD compared to group TA. There was fluid discharge with severe itching and pain in one keloid site in the VD group. The keloids reduced faster in size in the TA group compared to the VD group. There was no significant difference in response to TA versus VD.

Conclusion:
Both intralesional triamcinolone and VD3 were found to be efficacious with triamcinolone achieving a faster effect. The pain was a limiting factor in the intralesional VD group.
