The impact of environmental regulations on enterprise production
Authors: Fan Xuecheng , Wang Xinxin , Xu Zeshui 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
As an integral part of the modern environmental governance system, environmental regulations have the potential to alter the dynamics of competition and cooperation, resulting in a phenomenon known as the “relatively better” effect. In light of this phenomenon, we have developed a static game model based on incomplete information to analyze its implications. Through the exploration of Nash equilibrium, we have discovered that the "relatively better" effect allows environmentally regulated clean enterprises to transfer a portion of their costs to polluting enterprises. Consequently, clean enterprises experience lower financing costs compared to their polluting counterparts under environmental regulation conditions. This conclusion is supported by empirical analysis conducted using Chinese enterprise data. Furthermore, our research reveals that appropriately designed environmental regulations, including the intensity of regulation and the establishment of emission rights trading systems, can contribute to improving social distribution.

Abstract

Cytogenetic mechanisms of unisexuality in diploid parthenogenetic species of genusDarevskiaremained debatable until recently. The mechanism that allows the unisexual form to maintain its heterozygosity in a number of generations is important for long-term existence in nature. In this work, for the first time for a parthenogenetic species of genus Darevskia, in addition to primary oocytes with the usual ploidy (18 + ZW bivalents in the meiotic prophase I) oocytes that underwent premeiotic genome endoduplication and carry a doubled number of bivalents (36 + ZZ + WW) were found. Here we present a detailed comparative analysis of total preparation of synaptonemal complexes in the oocyte nuclei without and with genome endoduplication, and the behavior of sex Z and W chromosomes. We show the details of assembly of bivalents in the pachytene nuclei, where either homeologues or doubled identical copies of chromosomes compete for synapsis and form multivalents. For the first time, the WW sex pseudobivalent has been visualized in parthenogenetic reptiles. We show the reverse side of meiotic deviations in obligate parthenogenesis - cases of non-viable embryos with specific abnormalities.

Abstract

Statistical downscaling of the General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations are widely used for accessing climate changes in the future at different spatiotemporal scales. This study proposes a novel Statistical Downscaling (SD) model established on the Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) Network. The methodology is applied to obtain future projection of rainfall at 0.25° spatial resolution over the Indian sub-continental region. The traditional multisite downscaling models typically perform downscaling on a single homogeneous rainfall zone, predicting rainfall at only one grid point in a single model run. The proposed model captures spatiotemporal dependencies in multisite local rainfall and predicts rainfall for the entire zone in a single model run. The study proposes a Shared ConvLSTM model providing a single end-to-end supervised model for predicting the future precipitation for entire India. The model captures the regional variability in rainfall better than a region-wise trained model. The projected future rainfall for different scenarios of climate change reveals an overall increase in the rainfall mean and spatially non-uniform changes in future rainfall extremes over India. The results highlight the importance of conducting in-depth hydrologic studies for different river basins of the country for future water availability assessment and making water resource policies.
Flawed Emergency Intervention: Slow Ocean Response to Abrupt Stratospheric Aerosol Injection
Authors: Pflüger Daniel , Wieners Claudia Elisabeth , Kampenhout Leo van , Wijngaard René , Dijkstra Henk A. 
Published: February 2024

Given the possibility of irreversible, anthropogenic changes in the
climate system, technologies such as solar radiation management (SRM)
are sometimes framed as possible emergency interventions. However,
little knowledge exists on the efficacy of such deployments. To fill in
this gap, we perform Community Earth System Model 2 (CESM 2) simulations
of an intense warming scenario on which we impose gradual early-century
SRM or rapid late-century cooling (an emergency intervention), both
realised via stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI). While both scenarios
cool Earth’s surface, ocean responses differ drastically. Rapid cooling
fails to release deep ocean heat content or restore an ailing North
Atlantic deep convection but partially stabilizes the Atlantic
meridional overturning circulation. In contrast, the early intervention
effectively mitigates changes in all of these features. Our results
suggest that slow ocean timescales impair the efficacy of some SAI
emergency interventions.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
This study analyzed time-dependent effects of vaccination against Y. ruckeri on the oxidative mechanism underlying those effects by detecting relevant lipid peroxidation (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) and protein oxidation biomarkers [aldehydic and ketonic derivatives of oxidatively modified proteins (OMP)], antioxidant defenses [activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), total antioxidant capacity (TAC)], as well as activities of lysosomal functioning [alanyl aminopeptidase (AAP), leucyl aminopeptidase (LAP), acid phosphatase (AcP), and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG)] in hepatic tissue of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) following anti-Y. ruckeri vaccination in the first, second, and sixth months. A concentrated vaccine with Y. ruckeri strains was enclosed in fish feed and was administered three times every other day. Rainbow trout from each group were euthanized 31, 61, and 181 days following vaccination, and hepatic tissue was sampled for analysis. In the current study, vaccination against Y. ruckeri resulted in a no statistically significant change in TBARS levels, while aldehydic and ketonic derivatives of OMP in hepatic tissue decreased, especially after the first and second months following immunization. Moreover, the activities of glutathione-dependent enzymes increased, especially after the first and sixth months. The highest TAC levels were observed two and six months after vaccination. It has been shown that vaccination-related oxidative stress in hepatic tissue is involved in adaptive responses through the temporary mobilization of antioxidant and lysosomal enzymes in rainbow trout. The present study showed the effect of vaccination on lysosome membrane permeability for carbohydrate cleavage after the development of immunity against Yersinia, whereas antioxidant defence was reduced. Our results confirmed that the concept of preserving antioxidant enzyme function after vaccination was also evident when CAT, GR, and GPx activities either increased or were unchanged following vaccination.
Effects of chlorpyrifos on histopathological biomarkers of the freshwater teleost Oreochromis niloticus
Authors: Majumder Rajib 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
An attempt was made to evaluate histopathological changes in the gills, liver, and kidney tissues of the freshwater teleost Oreochromis niloticus as biomarkers of chlorpyrifos toxicity. An experiment was conducted in glass aquaria with O. niloticus exposed for 28 days to sub-lethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos of 0.0 µg L−1 (control), 10 µg L−1, and 20 µg L−1. Chlorpyrifos caused distortions of the primary gill lamellae structure, the curling of secondary lamellae, desquamation, and epithelial hyperplasia on secondary gill filaments. Hepatocyte vacuolation and nuclear membrane necrosis were found in the liver. Additionally, the shrinkage of the glomeruli, thickening of Bowman’s capsule, glomerular and tubular necrosis, intracytoplasmic vacuoles, and hyaline degeneration in the renal tubule were seen in the kidney of O. niloticus exposed to chlorpyrifos. No remarkable lesions were observed in the control group. The severity of lesions in the fish tissues was assessed using the standard semi-quantitative grading system. The degree of histopathological lesions in various fish tissues was found to increase with chlorpyrifos concentrations. Histopathological lesions appeared to be good biomarkers of chlorpyrifos toxicity.
The Subjectivity of the Grading Evaluation System in the Religious Class in Greece - A New Approach
Authors: Zaviš Monika , Diamantopoulos Konstantinos A. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
The grading process in secondary education is always challenging to navigate since the subjective dimension of the human parameter always seems to interfere dynamically in combination with the variety of the submitted assessment questions grounded on the grading teacher’s style. The central questions asked are: a) what are the applied assessment styles among Greek Religious Education (RE) teachers? b) What are their main assessment criteria? Moreover, c) What kind of evaluation plans are used to benefit the students? The above assessment issue is affected by the culture and mentality of each teacher.

Methods:
The method uses a quantitative survey designed by Google Forms to research the grading and topic patterns used by RE teachers and colleagues of humanities during their class assessments, both oral and written.

Results:
RE teachers have particular inclinations concerning the students’ assessment issues. They consider their discipline demanding and often prefer to apply written form assessments in class. Moreover, more methods emerged, which belong to the new school perception but are still placed statistically as auxiliary assessment weaponry. Microsoft Excel was also used for data visualization and quantitative analysis.

Discussion:
The assessment point of view might differ in each subject’s nature and, indeed, be planned by the objectives of each teacher. However, RE teachers and affiliated colleagues (literature teachers – affiliated colleagues should prioritise adjusting knowledge to the social realm.

Limitations:
The present research paper aims to stimulate educational interest regarding RE evaluation subjectivity by converting some subjective elements into precise statistical questions. Therefore, the questions used were a few but accurate, while the magnitude of the participants needed to be bigger, hindering the accumulation of more statistical information.

Conclusions:
Written-test assessments are prioritized, though oral inquiries are vital to the RE teachers’ methodology because of time scheduling issues explained throughout the text. The whole assessment scenery is grounded on the fact that RE discipline is considered demanding and essential. Some statistical inconsistencies undergird the necessity of applying knowledge in the social praxis to benefit Greek society. The latter lack is a drawback.

Authors: Madonsela Stanley 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Even though multilingual education has been in existence for a long time, the new era has brought another contestation around this educational substitute. Multilingual education which is often realized through multilingual language policy seems to be the best way to prepare future generations to participate in constructing democratic societies in and intercultural world. South Africa is no exception to this development. The language policy and governance in the schooling system of South Africa cannot be seen in isolation from that of the rest of the African continent and the world. This article disinters the extent to which the bodies responsible for the governing of schools in South Africa can formulate and implement language policies that serve the demographic language interest of societies that they serve. This article contextualizes the rights-based approach through fostering a deeper understanding of how different participants and role players in the education system can form the links between rights and participation with a view to bringing about change in language policy formulation and implementation in schools.

Objectives:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is widely recognized as the leading cause of death worldwide. Diabetes and hypertension are common risk factors. This is the only study on CKD from Rajasthan that highlights basic CKD profiles in patients attending public tertiary care centers.

Materials and Methods:
This observation study included diagnosed cases of CKD attending nephrology outpatient department (OPD) from January to December 2020. Data regarding the cause of CKD, its stage, mode of renal replacement therapy (RRT), and direct cost of medication were collected. The state runs various schemes, including free dialysis facilities for all, below-poverty level cards (below poverty line [BPL] cards, which had complete free treatment), and state health cards Bhamasha Swasthya Bima Yojana (BSSY) under the government scheme.

Results:
A total of 252 patients were included in the study. Patients on dialysis were highest, followed by stage V and stage IV CKD, representing 33.73%, 18.65%, and 17.86%, respectively. Hypertension was the predominant cause of CKD, representing 29.37% and CKD (u) prevalence in our study was 14.68%. The direct cost of treatment at CKD stages I, II, III, IV, and V were Rs. 520 ($6.93), Rs. 2435.71 ($32.48), Rs. 3400 ($45.33), Rs. 3405.57 ($45.41), and Rs. 4815.97 ($64.21) per month, respectively. The monthly medicine cost of treatment on hemodialysis was Rs. 6730.60 ($89.74), Rs. 30,278 ($403.71) on peritoneal dialysis, and Rs. 5021.74 ($66.96) on renal transplant. BPL card holders were 8.33%, 39.68% had BSSY card, 16.27% had Insurance, and around one-third (35.71%) were without support.

Conclusion:
Age, socioeconomic status, and geographical location affect CKD etiology. The accessible dialysis facility, insurance, and government policies affect the selection of the RRT.
A defesa da obrigatoriedade do diploma: uma luta histórica dos jornalistas brasileiros
Authors: Pereira Carmen , Cunha Samira De Castro 
Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo abordar a luta histórica em defesa da obrigatoriedade do diploma em Jornalismo para o exercício profissional que a Federação Nacional dos Jornalistas (FENAJ) e seus aliados vem travando desde 2009, quando o Supremo Tribunal Federal extinguiu a exigência da formação superior em Jornalismo para a atuação profissional. Apesar de sua relevância social, o Jornalismo é hoje a única profissão regulamentada do país para a qual não se requer qualquer requisito prévio de acesso ao registro profissional. Como procedimento metodológico, o texto se baseia no relato das autoras feito em uma roda de conversa no XIV Encontro Nacional de História da Mídia, ocorrido na Universidade Federal Fluminense, em 2023, com o tema “Democracia, História e Anistias na Memória das Midias”.
The equivalence of violence against women on social media: Acts constituting digital violence and their place in the Turkish Penal Code
Authors: Bakırtaş Merve , Orak Dilan 
Published: February 2024

This study aims to explore women's perceptions of digital violence across different age groups, educational backgrounds, and marital statuses. It also investigates their awareness of digital violence on social media and their coping strategies when exposed to such acts. Additionally, their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding whether digital violence constitutes a crime were examined. Within the scope of the research, a survey form as a preliminary study was applied over the internet throughout Türkiye.
According to the findings, 51.2% of the participants answered that they did not think they were exposed to acts of digital violence on social media. The findings revealed that 43.9% of the participants, who initially indicated that they had not experienced acts of digital violence on social media, stated that they were exposed to certain acts of violence such as being insulted and sworn at, falling victim to fraud, receiving threats and blatckmail, enduring harassing messages, discovering fake accounts created in their name with personal photos, etc., 47.7% of the participants stated that "Digital/Cyber Violence" is treated as a separate crime in the Turkish Penal Code. In response to the question ‘What would you do if you were exposed to the above action(s)?’ 83.3% of the participants marked the item 'I would block the related person from my social media accounts', 48.3% 'I would change the passwords of my social media accounts'.
Consequently, looking at the answers of the women who participated in this survey, it was concluded that they were not aware that they were subjected to digital violence and that the actions they were exposed to were acts of digital violence. In this context, digital violence should be treated as a serious problem, and awareness, prevention and coping methods should be implemented.
