Published: December 2023

Abstract
Inter-regional interaction in relation to the development of growth centres will be useful in seeing the development of a region in the future. This is because the development of a region is inseparable from the existence of growth centres that function as the starting point of regional development. The development of growth centres and their interactions can stimulate land use development, supporting infrastructure development, and future regional development. This research discusses and examines the process of the formation of growth centres in Maja Urban Area (MUA), Indonesia which is the study area and the regional interactions that occur there. This research is analysing the interaction between growth centre in MUA. This objective is achieved by analysing the urban service first. This research uses the scalogram method in determining the centre of urban growth and uses a gravity model approach assisted by ArcGIS application in assessing inter-regional interactions that occur. The results show that the largest regional interaction occurs between the growth centre of Maja and Curug Badak, which in this case falls into order 1 and 2.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Global warming be the one of threats to human civilization that has to be main considerations in environmental management. In addition, global warming is one of key driven factor of tidal flooding that affect many aspects in coastal area society. This study proposes to model capacity preparedness index of Semarang Metropolitan Coastal Area. The analysis divided by two substances, physical capacity and economy capacity. The examination and modelling of capacity preparedness level consider public health facilities availability, road network accessibility, and economy activity. The research uses quantitative methods and maximized the utilization of secondary data to capacity assessment. The findings show that capacity preparedness index of urban area is higher than its peri-urban. In total, Semarang Metropolitan Coastal Area have low-capacity preparedness level. There are only two sub-district which has high level capacity, Semarang Tengah and Semarang Utara. Otherwhile, there are three medium level capacity sub-districts and four low level capacity sub-districts. Those findings show that geospatial analysis can help people and government on how to understanding their capacity in dealing with disaster which cannot be predicted precisely.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The development of Lebak District has been significant during the previous ten years, with the impact of urbanization, changing the community’s physical, social, and economic shape. The construction of the Serang-Panimbang toll road, which facilitates access to the Metropolitan City of DKI Jakarta, has rapidly transformed Lebak District, which indicates an urban-rural transformation. This study aims to see how rural-urban transformation occurs in Lebak District and to create a scenario of urban development in Lebak District in 2030. Assessment of the level and pattern of transformation based on physical, social, and economic aspects using geographic information system (GIS) applications is conducted. This research uses cellular automata to create urban development scenarios in Lebak District in 2030. The results of this study indicate that the urban-rural transformation in Lebak District occurred due to the influence of urbanization and the construction of a toll road that connects Lebak District with the metropolitan city of Jakarta. Lebak District has four development areas. First is the urban agglomeration of Rangkasbitung, the hub of administration and economy. Second, coastal development areas are located in the southern region of Lebak District. The third strategic development area is the toll road integration area, with a development plan for an integrated industrial region. The fourth location has modest development and is located in terrain with limited accessibility. The results of urban development scenarios using cellular automata show that the development of the Serang-Panimbang toll road led to an increase in urban growth by 21% in 2030.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The increase in population has a linear indication of the intensity of people’s movements in urban areas. The emergence of various new phenomena such as economic activity and tourism changes the physical conditions of the urban environment. In this era, spatially sustainable infrastructure adapts to changes in the shape of urban spaces as well as to patterns of population movement. The problem of the lack of willingness to use public transportation and willingness to walk occurs along the Trans Jogja route. Coupled with the high number of private vehicles from both local people and tourists, this has created a traffic jam problem that has not been resolved. The provision of sustainable infrastructure such as Trans Jogja needs to consider environmental conditions and user needs. This study aims to produce an Urban Street Design based on the conditions of the Built Environment components (Transportation System, Land-use, Urban Design). Data collection has been carried out in 2022 for 35 samples of bus stops on Trans Jogja routes. The analytical method used is Arcgis Query (GIS Method) such as buffer and scoring/scaling to determine the Transportation System (road network, sidewalks, etc). The land-use component will use the density and diversity calculation formula (balancing index formula) by utilizing data on the number of residents and the number of buildings per 300-meter radius from the bus stops. The result is an Urban Street Design model that is by the results of the Built Environment analysis with the need for the theory of Sustainable Infrastructure.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Effective environmental management is a key element of a country’s sustainable social and economic development. This requires comprehensive environmental protection measures and stimulating the use of environmentally friendly technologies and innovations aimed at preserving the environment. One of the ways to achieve these goals is to apply environmental taxes. Environmental taxes are powerful tools for achieving environmental goals and ensuring sustainable development. The article analyzes the implementation and practice of applying environmental taxation. It is revealed that Ukraine had significantly higher greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy produced in 2012–2021. It was established that emissions of pollutants from mobile sources make up 40% of the total emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. Pollutant emissions from road transport make up 91% of pollutants emitted by mobile sources. The study examines the possibilities of stimulating emission reductions through an environmental tax in Ukraine and offers to improve the system of financing environmental measures, including through environmental taxation. International practice shows that countries that successfully implement environmental taxes and green taxation instruments are able to achieve more effective results in reducing pollution and rationalizing the use of resources. The right combination of environmental taxes with other instruments, such as regulatory standards and financial incentives, can significantly improve the environmental situation and ensure sustainable economic growth.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Modern organic agriculture is increasingly gaining momentum against the background of worsening economic, social and environmental problems. In recent years, interest in environmentally friendly production has been growing in many areas. In particular, agriculture in this direction satisfies the needs of mankind for quality products and has a positive effect on restoring the natural fertility of the soil, which contributes to the maintenance of the natural balance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the pricing process on the market of organic products and the justification of recommendations for improving the pricing methodology and determining the equivalent price for organic agricultural products. The work uses: dialectical method, methods of systematic and comparative analysis, economic-statistical and graphic methods, methods of computer information processing. It has been established that the leaders of organic agriculture are countries that have formed systemically influential supranational institutions and societies. When comparing the economic efficiency of production, it was determined that an agricultural enterprise with the production of organic products receives less gross production, net income and profit per 1 ha of farmland than conventional ones. The price analysis of the organic market in Ukraine revealed the need to modify generally accepted approach to pricing. The proposed equivalent price can be a guideline for improving the price policy in organic production.
Modeling the transformation of the EU’s energy sector and its impact on carbon emissions in the context of an energy collapse
Authors: Mints O Y 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The European Union relies heavily on energy imports from foreign countries, especially for oil and natural gas. This reliance on energy imports exposes the EU to the risks of price fluctuations and interruptions in supply. The likelihood of a complete halt in natural gas deliveries significantly rises following the onset of a hybrid economic war between the Russian Federation and the EU. The use of “dirty fossil fuels” is one of the options for immediate compensation for the natural gas deficit. Therefore, due to the increase in carbon emissions, an energy collapse can have a direct impact on the climate. The goal of the proposed research is to develop a model for the transformation of the EU’s energy sector and its impact on carbon emissions in the context of catastrophic changes in the structure of energy imports. During the research, a simulation model of the development of a three-sector energy market was established. The driver of changes in the model is the minimization of CO2 emissions. The modeling has shown that under normal conditions, the role of renewable energy sources gradually increases. Modeling the conditions of “gas blackmail” has revealed that the emerged deficit in the system will be primarily compensated by the use of dirty fossil fuels.
Environmental impacts and sustainable development: results from public awareness and attitudes’ study in Georgia
Authors: Gaprindashvili N 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In democratic countries, how sustainable the country’s development path will be, depends to a significant extent on the awareness and attitudes of the society. Within the framework of this project, it was possible to study the importance of environmental impacts within sustainable development in general and specifically for Georgia. In addition to the comprehensive literature review, online public survey was conducted within the project, in-depth interviews with various representatives of Georgian society (public organizations, business and private sector, research and academic institutions) were held together with a focus group with students. Results show that, in parallel with the sustainable development agenda, environmental field is important for the country as a whole, as well as for some part of the society, different stakeholders and organizations in Georgia. However, general public still prioritizes social and economic issues over environmental ones in the country. Hence, in order to make this area become more prioritized and the subject of evidence-based analysis in the future, more awareness raising and academic development of this field will be crucial.

Abstract
The Project of Significant National Interest (PRIN, 2017) entitled: "Italian Life Cycle Inventory Database of Agri-Food Products" (ILCIDAF), financed by the Ministry of University and Research, aims to promote the sustainability of the agri-food sector through the development of a database on a national and regional scale for some food chains that are significant for the Italian economy The objective is to create datasets for the Italian agri-food sector which current existing databases do not provide. Specifically, datasets that are geographically, temporally and technologically representative of the Italian national territory were developed. The selected supply chains are: bread and pasta, wine, olive oil and citrus fruits respectively studied by four scientific units: the Universities of Bari, Chieti-Pescara, Messina and Reggio Calabria respectively. The database is constructed considering the entire supply chain of the indicated foodstuffs. The University of Bari, to which the authors of this work belong to, has previously provided contributions on the agricultural phase of wheat, the milling phase and the pasta-making phase. In this work, on the other hand, the phases of the bread-making process of durum and soft wheat bread are described. The aim of this study is to construct datasets relating to the transformation phase of the indicated end products. In particular, 5 datasets were constructed: two relating to bread made from soft wheat flour, 2 with durum wheat semolina and 1 with wholemeal durum wheat semolina. The data was acquired through information provided by the companies in the sector (field data) through the completion of appropriately drafted questionnaires and company reports. In addition, the same analysed and processed were compared with data available in scientific literature.
Spectroscopic characterization and photochemistry of HC3N− and CH3C3N−: implications for ion chemistry in Titan's atmosphere

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Molecular ions are key intermediates in the build-up of chemical complexity in interstellar clouds. Among the more than 300 interstellar molecules, only eight negative ions, i.e. C2n+1N− (n = 0–3) and HC2n− (n = 2–5), have been astronomically observed. Understanding the formation mechanism of these ions under the interstellar conditions is essential for astrochemical modelling and establishing the astrochemical networks. Cyanopolyynes including the parent molecule HC3N are carbon-chain molecules that have been observed in a variety of astronomical objects such as the Titan's atmosphere. Herein, two cyanoacetylene anions HC3N‒ and CH3C3N‒ were generated in solid Ne matrix at 3 K and characterized with matrix-isolation infrared spectroscopy, as aided by isotopic substitutions and the ab initio calculations at the UCCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVTZ-F12 level using second-order vibrational perturbation theory. Upon red-light irradiation at 625 nm, both ions undergo electron detachment by reformation of the neutral species. Importantly, the concomitant dehydrogenation of HC3N‒ has also been observed in the matrix, providing new insight into the intriguing mechanism for the formation of C3N‒ in the upper atmosphere of Titan.
A new targeted on-ramp control approach considering both efficiency and equity
Authors: Li Shengnan , Li Minglun , Dai Jianjun , Wang Pu 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
On-ramp control is an effective approach for alleviating traffic congestion on highways. However, there is still a lack of on-ramp control approaches applicable to large regional highway networks. Here, we develop a targeted on-ramp control approach applicable to regional highway networks by taking advantage of the vehicle source information, which pinpoints the on-ramps contributing major traffic flow to the highway bottleneck. Furthermore, a combined and tunable controlling index is proposed to enhance the equity of the generated traffic control scheme. The proposed on-ramp control approach is validated on an actual large highway network using actual travel demand data. Results indicate that the proposed approach can well mitigate the traffic congestion of highway bottleneck while at the same time enhancing the equity and practicability of the generated traffic control scheme.
Ethical issues in solid organ transplantation: transfusion-free transplantation in Jehovah's witness patients
Authors: Selby Rick , Selby-Medical Taylor , Richman Michael 
Published: December 2023

Purpose of review
Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept transfusion of major allogeneic blood fractions. Successful solid organ transplantation is challenging for Jehovah's Witnesses when anemia, coagulation disturbances, and difficult technical aspects co-exist, and key blood bank resources cannot be utilized. Organ availability for transplantation is limited and demand exceeds supply for all organ types. Historically, the likelihood of poor outcomes in Jehovah's Witnesses patients placed ethical limitations on transplant candidacy for this population violating the precept of maximal utilization of a limited resource. The review's purpose is to describe advancements and strategies that make Jehovah's Witnesses transplant outcomes comparable to transfusion-eligible patients and allay the ethical concerns of their candidacy.

Recent findings
Immunomodulation from allogeneic transfusion is a cause of significant postop morbidity. Blood conservation strategies have led to improved outcomes across different medical and surgical cohorts and set the stage for expanded utility in Jehovah's Witnesses with organ insufficiency.
Published single-center series with descriptions of specific peri-operative strategies describe the path to major blood product avoidance.

Summary
Comparable outcomes in solid organ transplantation for Jehovah's Witnesses without allogeneic transfusion are possible when inclusion-exclusion criteria are respected, and blood conservation strategies employed.
A Glimpse Into the Cenomanian: Palynology of the Arlington Archosaur Site, Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, Texas, USA
Authors: Lorente Maria Antonieta , Noto Christopher , Flaig Peter 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACTThe Arlington Archosaur Site (AAS) between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, is known as a rich fossiliferous section. The age of these rocks is generally considered to be mid-Cenomanian, but conflicting evidence suggests the age may be as young as the late Cenomanian–early Turonian. To address the issue, a palynological study was designed and conducted based on the close sampling of the lithofacies. Palynological samples were processed according to the standard acid preparation. The study was quantitative and focused on associations to determine the paleoenvironment, paleoclimate, biostratigraphy, and age of exposure. The rich palynological assemblages comprise spores from seedless plants, gymnosperms, angiosperms, fungi, algae, and dinoflagellate cysts. Bryophytes were abundant mainly in Facies A and B, withZlivisporis cenomanianustaking over the bryophytes’ habitat in Facies D. Lycophytes abundant in the alluvial and coastal plains are considered to have been transported. Conifers were the predominant group of gymnosperms, also mainly transported into the section. Freshwater algal remains includeSchizophacus laevigatus/Ovoidites parvus,Schizosporis reticulatus,Botryococcussp., andPediastrumsp. Acanthomorph acritarchs present in low abundance and diversity appear following shallow marine dinoflagellates’ spikes and before freshwater colonial algal spikes. The vegetation signal at Noto’s Facies A and B indicates tropical to subtropical shallow marine to coastal plains, while Noto’s Facies D indicates tidally influenced areas. Also, picks of the diversity and abundance of dinoflagellate cysts are interpreted as an increased marine influence and proposed as possible flooding surfaces. The results support the alternation of marine incursions within deltaic and floodplain sequences, related to regional climate oscillation that affected the vegetation on the upland drainage area.Key palynological markers point to an early Late Cenomanian age, and the presence of theCyclonephelium compactum–C. membraniphorum(Ccm morphological plexus) signals that the incursion of boreal waters during the Plenus Cold Event of the Ocean Anoxic Event 2 may have reached as far south as the AAS area. This coincides with vegetation trends that suggest a cooler and less humid climate at the start of Facies A, where Ccm is more abundant.
When is gene expression noise advantageous?
Authors: Puzović Nataša , Dutheil Julien Y. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe variability of gene expression levels, also known as gene expression noise, is an evolvable trait subject to selection. While gene expression noise is detrimental in constant environments where the expression level is under stabilizing selection, it may be beneficial in changing environments when the phenotype is far from the optimum. However, expression noise propagates along the gene network, making the evolution of connected genes interdependent. Here, we explore how their position in the gene network constrains the evolution of genes under selection using an in silico evolution experiment. We simulate the evolution of populations of model gene regulatory networks under directional and fluctuating selection on the gene expression level while allowing the basal expression level and expression noise level to mutate. We find that expression noise is only transiently favoured under directional selection, but high levels of noise can be maintained in a fluctuating selection regime. Furthermore, target genes, regulated by other genes, were more likely to increase their gene-specific expression noise than regulator genes. These findings suggest that both the mean and variance of gene expression levels respond to selection due to changing environments – and do so in a network-dependent manner. They further point at gene expression noise as a putative mechanism for populations to escape extinction when facing environmental changes.
