Published: February 2025

Over the past few years, Twitter (now X) has become an influential platform for political discourse. However, prior research suggests that Twitter may be biased towards right-wing content. Following the change in ownership in October 2022, there have been several changes to Twitter’s policies, particularly in content flagging and Twitter Blue Verification. Understanding how any shifts in outcomes vary across different political ideologies is important for comprehending the evolving political discourse, especially given recent developments. To explore this issue, we examine shifts in engagement (characterized by likes and retweets) for political figures before and after November 2022, focusing on describing how engagement has changed over time. We perform a global analysis by collecting tweets from 6550 accounts belonging to political leaders and parties from twelve countries among the ones with the highest user activity on the platform, namely, Argentina, Brazil,Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, between June 2021 and June 2023. Our findings indicate that the number of likes on political tweets increased after November 2022. However, we observe that the number of retweets decreased significantly, along with a marginal decrease in the likes-to-retweet ratio, with no statistically significant difference between the Left and the Right. Our study is the first to offera global perspective by examining how platform engagement has shifted during the Musk Era. To support further research, we release the data on politicians and parties used in this study, with their Twitter data available upon request.

HIDRA3: a deep-learning model for multipoint ensemble sea level forecasting in the presence of tide gauge sensor failures
Authors: Rus Marko , Mihanović Hrvoje , Ličer Matjaž , Kristan Matej 
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Accurate modeling of sea level and storm surge dynamics with several days of temporal horizons is essential for effective coastal flood responses and the protection of coastal communities and economies. The classical approach to this challenge involves computationally intensive ocean models that typically calculate sea levels relative to the geoid, which must then be correlated with local tide gauge observations of sea surface height (SSH). A recently proposed deep-learning model, HIDRA2 (HIgh-performance Deep tidal Residual estimation method using Atmospheric data, version 2), avoids numerical simulations while delivering competitive forecasts. Its forecast accuracy depends on the availability of a sufficiently long history of recorded SSH observations used in training. This makes HIDRA2 less reliable for locations with less abundant SSH training data. Furthermore, since the inference requires immediate past SSH measurements as input, forecasts cannot be made during temporary tide gauge failures. We address the aforementioned issues using a new architecture, HIDRA3, that considers observations from multiple locations, shares the geophysical encoder across the locations, and constructs a joint latent state that is decoded into forecasts at individual locations. The new architecture brings several benefits: (i) it improves training at locations with scarce historical SSH data, (ii) it enables predictions even at locations with sensor failures, and (iii) it reliably estimates prediction uncertainties. HIDRA3 is evaluated by jointly training on 11 tide gauge locations along the Adriatic. Results show that HIDRA3 outperforms HIDRA2 and the Mediterranean basin Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) setup of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) by ∼ 15 % and ∼ 13 % mean absolute error (MAE) reductions at high SSH values, creating a solid new state of the art. The forecasting skill does not deteriorate even in the case of simultaneous failure of multiple sensors in the basin or when predicting solely from the tide gauges far outside the Rossby radius of a failed sensor. Furthermore, HIDRA3 shows remarkable performance with substantially smaller amounts of training data compared with HIDRA2, making it appropriate for sea level forecasting in basins with high regional variability in the available tide gauge data.
Effect of blade inclination angle for straight-bladed vertical-axis wind turbines
Authors: Morgan Laurence , Amiri Abbas Kazemi , Leithead William , Carroll James 
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have received renewed research interest in the offshore environment due to a number of design synergies that have the potential to decrease the cost of energy for offshore wind. Many studies have been completed on the rotor design for straight-bladed rotors (H-rotors); however, there is sparse information on the effect of blade inclination angle on VAWT aerodynamic performance and the optimal blade design of VAWTs with inclined blades (V-rotors) for maximum power capture. This paper presents a systematic study into the effect of blade inclination angle and chord distribution on VAWT performance for different aspect ratios using a 3D implementation of the 2D actuator cylinder model which has been previously validated against higher-fidelity methods. A systematic approach based on a grid search is used to allow the wider design space to be studied and trends identified. In the case of fixed-chord-length blades, it is found that significant power gains are available through blade inclination, between 12 % and 71 % depending on blade length. This is driven by the increase in rotor swept area. Further investigation indicates that despite this, under maximum blade stress limitations the most economical solution for fixed-chord-length blades is H-rotors. Optimal chord distributions, which maximise the rotor power coefficient, are then obtained, and a natural blade taper is observed. For rotors with optimal chord distributions, similar power gains are observed through blade inclination, again between 12 % and 71 % depending on blade length. However, rotor configurations with the largest power gains are found to have significantly increased blade mass. For a given power rating, whilst satisfying limitations on maximum blade root bending stress, it is found that blade volume, a proxy for the blade mass, can be reduced between 16 % and 42 % dependent on blade length, and rotor torque can be reduced between 4 % and 9 %. This indicates the potential of V-rotors to reduce the cost of energy compared to H-rotors in traditional VAWT designs. Additionally, inclined blades are shown to increase the operational tip-speed ratio, demonstrating their applicability to turbines using secondary rotors, such as the X-rotor, where high tip-speed ratios are required for efficient power conversion between primary and secondary rotors.

Published: February 2025

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in studying the health of companion animals, particularly cats. The British cat breed, due to its interior and behavioral characteristics, is a popular choice as a pet. According to the CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association is an international organization for the breeding and development of new breeds of cats. It is one of the nine members of the WCC - World Felinological Congress), the British cat breed is in third place in the list of the most popular breeds in the world, which makes the study of the dynamics of age-related population variability in the interior parameters of this breed especially relevant in the field of veterinary medicine for the timely detection of possible diseases, the occurrence of pathologies and the provision of necessary veterinary care.Biochemical indicators, such as the concentration of albumin, bilirubin, creatinine, urea, total protein, alkaline phosphatase, calcium and blood glucose levels, play a key role in assessing the health of animals, reflecting the condition of the internal organs and body systems as a whole. Using these parameters, one can judge the quality of the functional activity of the kidneys, liver, hematopoietic and cardiovascular systems.Age-related changes in these indicators often are not taken into account by veterinary specialists when analyzing the results of the study and subsequent diagnosis, which often leads to an erroneous conclusion about the health of the animal and, as a result, to the appointment of treatment that is not necessary. In this regard, there is a need to understand the differences between pathological changes in these biochemical parameters in the blood and physiological ones associated with the age of the animal.This article presents the results of a study that describes the features of the age-related dynamics of biochemical blood parameters in British breed cats from St. Petersburg felinological clubs in the post-analytical stage of biochemical studies, which is an integral part of the anamnesis and is important in making a diagnosis and monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment.
Analysis of the technology of growing gherkin chickens - a new direction in meat poultry farming
Authors: Vinokhodov O. V. , Sukhinin A. A. 
Published: February 2025

The article discusses a new direction in poultry farming - the production of gherkin chickens in comparison with the raising of broiler chickens on private farms. It has been established that the production of gherkins is more profitable in terms of economic indicators. Gherkins are also less susceptible to the development of infectious avian diseases due to their short growing period and often do not require the use of vaccines and therapeutic drugs to correct their condition. That is, gherkin meat is a dietary product for people.Observations of several batches of gherkin chickens, numbering 0.5 - 2 thousand birds, raised in private farms in the Leningrad, Pskov and Novgorod regions showed that many of them were raised without the use of vaccines and medications. However, there is practically no guarantee of success in such production. Therefore, the development of a set of veterinary measures for raising gherkin chickens is an urgent task.

Published: February 2025

Due to the intensive development of industrial poultry farming, timely monitoring of infectious diseases of birds is an integral part of a set of measures that provides for the introduction into practice of diagnostic studies that meet the current level of scientific development.The most relevant for industrial turkey breeding is the monitoring of particularly dangerous diseases (OIE list): Newcastle disease (ND), avian influenza (AI) and economically significant diseases of turkeys - hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys (HET), infectious encephalomyelitis of birds (IEB), respiratory mycoplasmosis and mycoplasmic synovitis caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma meleagridis (MM).An analysis of the current state of research on this topic has shown that the development of diagnostic methods for immunosuppressive diseases of birds (hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys) is an urgent area in the Russian Federation [1]. In order to prevent an outbreak of this disease, which is from an economic and epizootological point of view one of the most dangerous for the turkey breeding industry, it is necessary to carry out diagnostic monitoring of livestock on a planned basis in order to monitor the well-being of the farm for this disease, and in case of early detection of hemorrhagic enteritis, take all necessary measures to prevent further spread and reduce damage which she could have inflicted.That is why the purpose of our study is to develop a molecular biological method for diagnosing HET using the example of PCR in the classical version.In the course of the work carried out, the least variable GEI protein was selected, as well as the correct primers, amplification stages and the composition of the PCR mixture for this protein. When setting up the reaction, a positive result was obtained. All delivered samples reacted in accordance with the expected results.

This article identifies and describes magic objects and tools with the semantics of “recovering and getting heroic power” contributing to the development of a certain plot and motifs in the Khakass’ epic narrative. Realization of this goal requires solving the following tasks: identification and description of stable poetic descriptions using the example of magic objects and means with the semantics of “recovering and getting heroic power”, with the detailed analysis of specific magic attributes, similarities and differences in texts of different storytellers, determining the degree of reference to the epic plot and motifs. The category of magic objects under consideration includes: a handkerchief (white/ black), a pen, a jackknife, a white egg, cheese, tavolozhnik, a milk lake. The introduction of magic objects with this semantics into the poetic fabric contributes to the further disclosure of the motifs associated with the trials and exploits of the hero / hero-woman, the motivation for leaving home, the heroic duel. Despite the fact that the analyzed magic objects are not mandatory attributes, they contribute to the development of a certain plot in an epic piece of work, the connection of various parts of the text, ensuring their semantic coherence.
Cowries, Cosmologies, and Contracts: Ritual Economies and the Materiality of Wealth in Vodún
Authors: Landry Timothy R. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article explores the complex entanglements between Vodún and money in southern Bénin, challenging the negative connotations associated with the phrase “voodoo economics.” Drawing on ethnographic stories, the article examines the historical and spiritual significance of cowrie shells, the apotheosis of wealth in Vodún cosmology, and the ways in which economic challenges inspire new forms of spiritual adaptation. The rising costs of ritual paraphernalia and the commercialization of Vodún have led to innovative practices, such as the use of plastic cowrie shells and the creation of spiritual contracts. Despite these challenges, Vodún remains deeply intertwined with notions of money and wealth, with spirits like Ajé and Ayĭzàn embodying prosperity and economic power. The article argues that, for Vodúnisants, wealth transcends its negative associations and instead represents a presence of power, responsibility, and the fundamental goodness that animates the world.
Black Muslim Racial Reimagining: Traditions of Racial and Religious Self-Making among Black Sunni Muslims in the US
Authors: Miller Rasul 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article examines how Black Sunni Muslims in the US developed and used alternative articulations of their racial and ethnic identities to combat a demeaning American system of racial stratification. This tradition, referred to as Black Muslim racial-reimagining, was and is a practice and theory that challenges US racial hierarchies by providing people of African descent with more affirming historical narratives and identity constructions. This article argues that Black Muslim racial-reimagining served as a means of exposing the fallacious, invented nature of American racial logic. While historians have written about aspects of this phenomenon among members of the Nation of Islam (NOI) and the Moorish Science Temple (MST), this article explores the tradition of racial-reimagining developed in Black Sunni Muslim communities during the early and mid-twentieth century. This article demonstrates how Black Sunni Muslims were comparatively more inclined to build community with Muslims from outside of the US, particularly those from and on the African continent. This article argues that these exchanges resulted in a distinct iteration of Black Muslim racial-reimagining, with some Black American Sunni Muslims identifying with specific ethnicities and geographies associated with contemporary continental African Muslim communities. These identifications enriched Black Americans’ understandings of their African diasporic pasts and influenced their political imaginaries.
