Published: February 2025

Abstract. Land planning projects aiming to maximize soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks are increasing in number and scope, often in line with the objective to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. In response, a rising number of studies assesses where additional SOC could be stored over regional to global spatial scales. In order to provide realistic values transferrable beyond the scientific community, studies providing targets of SOC accrual should consider the timescales needed to reach them, taking into consideration the effects of C inputs, soil type, and depth on soil C dynamics. This research was conducted in a 320 km2 territory in north-eastern France, where eight contrasted soil types have been identified, characterized, and mapped thanks to a high density of fully described soil profiles. Continuous profiles of SOC stocks were interpolated for each soil type and land use (cropland, grassland, or forest). We defined potential targets for SOC accrual using percentile boundary lines and used a linear model of depth-dependent C dynamics to explore the C inputs necessary to reach those targets within 25 years. We also used values from the literature to model C input scenarios and provided maps of SOC stocks, maximum SOC accrual, and realistic SOC accrual over 25 years. SOC stocks and maximum SOC accrual are highly heterogenous over the region of study. Median SOC stocks range from 78–333 tC ha−1. Maximum SOC accrual varies from 19 tC ha−1 in forested Leptosols to 197 tC ha−1 in grassland Gleysols. The simulated realistic SOC accrual over 25 years in the whole region of study was one-fifth of the the maximum SOC accrual. Further consideration of depth-dependent SOC dynamics in different soil types is therefore needed to provide targets of SOC storage over timescales relevant to public policies aiming to approach carbon neutrality by 2050.

Social Media and Knowledge Sharing: Impact on Academic Development in Public Universities of Kanpur
Authors: Sanjeev Kumar Singh  
Published: February 2025

Background ContextEducation have been profoundly impacted by social networking, which has completely changed the way we acquire and exchange information. Since social media is interactive, it makes learning more effective by giving people a forum for conversations and information sharing. Social media platforms have significantly influenced how individuals interact and exchange information, impacting educational practices by enabling students to share and access knowledge more effectively. This shift is particularly relevant in academic environments where collaborative learning and resource accessibility are crucial.
Knowledge GapDespite extensive social media usage among students, limited research addresses its specific impacts on academic growth in public universities, especially in regional contexts like Kanpur, India. This study seeks to fill this gap by exploring how social media supports academic development, focusing on factors like trust, collaboration, communication, and perceived benefits.
MethodsUsing a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected through structured questionnaires from students across three major public universities in Kanpur. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to examine the relationships between social media use and academic outcomes, emphasizing mediating factors such as family and technological support.
Key FindingsThe analysis shows that social media interactions notably enhance academic development by building trust, fostering collaboration, and promoting effective knowledge sharing. Support from family and access to technology further strengthen these benefits, positively influencing students’ academic engagement and performance.
ImplicationsThese findings suggest that educational institutions should consider integrating digital collaboration tools into their academic frameworks and support policies that enhance family and technological access. Such initiatives can help students leverage social media effectively for academic growth, making it a valuable educational resource. Future research might expand on these insights through longitudinal studies to capture evolving academic-social media dynamics.

Published: February 2025

Next-generation information technology (IT) and artificial intelligence (AI) can support environmental improvement, climate change response, and the conservation and efficient use of resources for green transformation, potentially impacting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study estimates the impact of AI on five SDGs using provincial panel data from 2006 to 2018. The estimation results indicate that AI makes a significant contribution to sustainable development, a finding that has been confirmed through a series of robustness tests. Furthermore, the mechanistic analysis demonstrates that AI primarily promotes sustainable development by enhancing energy structure and technological innovation. The greater the reduction in dependence on fossil fuels and the higher the degree of technological innovation, tthe greater the effectiveness of AI in promoting sustainable development. Furthermore, the regional heterogeneity test revealed that the effect in enhancing sustainability achieved by AI is most effective in the central and western regions, with the eastern region following closely behind.

Published: February 2025

Epinephrine is a catecholamine that plays a vital role during cellular stress by scavenging free radicals. During in vitro maturation, oocytes experience stressful conditions that likely compromise their development. The objective of the experiment was to investigate the effect of the addition of epinephrine in IVM media on nuclear maturation and in vitro developmental competence of oocytes. Buffalo oocytes were harvested from slaughterhouse ovaries. Oocytes of A and B grade were matured for 24 hours in IVM media supplemented with increasing concentrations of epinephrine 0, 0.01, 1.0, and 100 μM. The maturation of oocytes was examined based on the nuclear maturation after staining with Hoechst 33342 (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). After maturing with epinephrine, oocytes were fertilized for 6 hours with post-thawed semen from a single bull. Presumptive zygotes were cultured in commercial media (IVF Bioscience, Falmouth, UK), and cleavage was observed 48 hours after fertilization. The blastocyst rate was assessed on day 7 of the culture. Maturation and fertilization media were prepared in-house. Blastomere was counted from the hatched blastocyst after staining with Hoechst 33342 using an inverted microscope equipped with Cellsens software. The data was analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedures of SAS. The statistical model included the fixed effect of treatment and random replication. Orthogonal polynomial contrasts were built to assess the dose-response of epinephrine. Results represented as least square means and respective standard error of means (LSM ± SEM). Adding epinephrine to the maturation media did not affect the nuclear maturation and cleavage. Media supplemented with epinephrine at 0, 0.01, 1.0, and 100 μM concentrations had a proportion of meiotic I and II oocytes of 83.1 ± 6.0, 85.5 ± 6.3, 75.3 ± 5.9, and 70.9 ± 6.4%) and cleavage rate of 58.2 ± 4.6, 60.5 ± 4.6, 54.7 ± 4.5, and 47.8 ± 4.4%) respectively. However, the proportion of blastocyst out of matured oocytes was increased (p=0.01; 35.9 ± 4.5, 43.2 ± 4.8, 36.0 ± 4.3, and 25.8 ± 3.8%) with epinephrine supplementation and the response was maximized (Quadratic effect; p=0.01) at 0.01 μM concentration. Consistently, the proportion of blastocyst out of cleaved embryos tended to increase (p=0.13; 62.1 ± 5.0, 72.4 ± 4.6, 66.7 ± 4.7, and 55.3 ± 5.3%) with epinephrine and the response was maximized (Quadratic effect; p=0.04) at 0.01 μM concentration. Supplementation of epinephrine in maturation media increased (p<0.01) the blastomere number, and response was maximized (Quadratic effect; p<0.01) at 1.0 μM concentration. It is concluded that supplementing epinephrine in maturation media had a favorable effect on the blastocyst formation, and significant benefits were observed at 0.01 μM concentration.

Published: February 2025

Dewasa ini, aspek pastoral turut mendominasi dalam setiap kegiatan gereja yang holistik. Salah satu tugas dan tanggung jawab gereja ialah melakukan pendampingan pastoral kepada seluruh lapisan jemaatnya, termasuk kaum Bapak guna meningkatkan pertumbuhan spiritualitasnya. Gereja sebagai mitra Allah dipercaya untuk memelihara dan memenuhi kebutuhan spiritual kaum Bapak (seelsorge). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah hakikat gereja di masa kini sudah menjadi gereja yang sempurna dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan spiritual bagi kaum Bapak. Penelitian ini dikembangkan dengan metode kualitatif yang menggunakan pendekatan pastoral oleh teori Still dan Cundiff. Informan penelitian ditentukan dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi dan wawancara semi-terstruktur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rendahnya partisipasi kaum Bapak dalam mengikuti persekutuan gereja, artinya gereja masih bergumul dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan spiritual kaum Bapak. Ini dapat disebabkan oleh dua faktor utama, yaitu faktor internal menyangkut iman, motivasi dan minat serta faktor eksternal menyangkut rutinitas kegiatan program gereja. Untuk itu, pentingnya pendampingan pastoral gereja dengan pendekatan AIDAS ini diselaraskan dengan gereja yang terus berbenah menjadi jawaban akan kebutuhan mengajak kembali kaum Bapak turut aktif beribadah di gereja dan pertumbuhan spiritualnya.

Published: February 2025

Power flow analysis and contingency states of a power system are fundamental tests of finding the real performance of an electrical network during power system planning and operation. Maintaining the system’s security is a challenging issue facing power system engineers. The system will be secure if it can run within system restrictions, such as limits of bus voltage magnitudes, current and power flow through the lines. in the case of a component failure, such as a generator or transmission line, contingency analysis is useful for increasing the power system’s resilience by examining the system’s vulnerability in case of components failure. Using an IEEE 9-bus system as benchmark, the analysis of power flow through contingency analysis is performed to identify the most critical component affected by voltage violation and critical loading condition. Using the one-by-one and two-by-two outages of generators and lines using DIgSILENT Power Factory software. The results of the contingency analysis demonstrate how voltage on busbars can be critically affected when the power system is subject to some sort of unconditional phenomena during the operation of the electrical network.
Design and Simulation of Full State Feedback Controller for DC Motor
Authors: Love Kevin , Kriger Carl , Tshemese-Mvandaba Nomzamo 
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the design and simulation of a Full State Feedback (FSFB) controller which controls the angular position of Direct Current (DC) motor. The controller is used to reduce the rise time of the system when given a position set point. An integral controller is then added to reduce the steady state error of the output. Once the transfer function of the DC motor is found, the mathematical model is converted to state space. The process involves utilizing the Pole placement technique to identify the state feedback gain, which subsequently improves the system’s response time. The results, which are simulated in Simulink, show that the addition of FSFB control significantly reduces the rise time of the response from 4.013s to 0.966s. To overcome the steady-state error of 9.84, integral control is added which reduced the error to zero. A reduction in rise time and steady state-error proves that a FSFB controller with integral control performs better than the original closed loop system without a controller. The research contribution is based on the mathematical modeling of a DC motor and the development of a state feedback controller, aiming to simplify the modeling process with its associated controllers. The methods presented can be used on any DC motor with known parameters. Finally, the control system is tested using random set points to prove the resilience of the controller to input changes.

Standaarden op het gebied van duurzaamheid en milieu en de betekenis daarvan voor de (internationale) koopovereenkomst
Regelgeving op het gebied van duurzaamheid en milieu is aan een duidelijke opmars bezig. In geval van een internationale koopovereenkomst kan de vraag rijzen welke contractuele verplichtingen deze regelgeving met zich brengt. Het spreekt voor zich dat partijen zelf kunnen voorzien in een contractuele regeling hiervoor. Mocht een overeenkomst hierin niet (voldoende duidelijk) voorzien, dan rijst de vraag of de verkoper aansprakelijk kan worden gesteld indien het geleverde niet voldoet aan relevante regelgeving. Deze vraag komt in deze bijdrage aan de orde zowel naar Nederlands recht als aan de hand van het Weens Koopverdrag.

De (mogelijke) gevolgen van de niet-nakoming van ESG-bedingen
De Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) verplicht ondernemingen om negatieve effecten op mens en milieu te voorkomen, te beperken en/of te beëindigen. ESG-bedingen in zakelijke contracten spelen hierbij een belangrijke rol. In deze bijdrage wordt verkend in hoeverre een ESG-beding met contractuele vorderingen kan worden afgedwongen in b2b-verhoudingen en hoe deze vorderingen zich verhouden tot hetgeen de CSDDD voorschrijft. Het afdwingen van een ESG-beding blijkt geen makkelijke opgave. Om de afdwingbaarheid van een ESG-beding te vergemakkelijken, dienen zakelijke contracten zorgvuldig te worden opgesteld.

Embracing opportunities and minimizing risks: leveraging decision models for project selection in Southeast Asian countries
Authors: WK YEH Wilson , HAO Gang 
Published: February 2025

In real estate investments in Southeast Asia, decisions worth billions of dollars are usually made without systematic analysis, leading to project failures. This paper presents a novel two-tier matrix method that combines the decision on country-project selection into a model. This model could assist real estate investors to select the right projects in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, which is significantly under-reported. We used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Weighted Sum Method (WSM) to create a matrix model to analyse investment projects. The results are encouraging and indicate that Malaysia is the best country for real estate investment, followed by Thailand and Indonesia respectively. This study also simulates the decision making of very experienced to inexperienced investors. It concluded that the two-tier decision model can safeguard investors from making intuitive decision mistakes and help them to make informed decisions when selecting investment projects in Southeast Asian countries.

Published: February 2025

The Interdiscipline Education Perception Scale (IEPS) was used in this research to gauge health science librarians' views toward interprofessional cooperation and to learn more about their participation in such activities. The IEPS and questions regarding respondents' past and recent experience with IPE were addressed to librarians in the interprofessional education special interest group (IPE-SIG) and research section (RS) of the medical library association (MLA). To evaluate attitudes, the research compared the mean IEPS scores of each MLA group with several other demographic variables. The IEPS results for health science librarians showed favourable sentiments regarding IPE. There is no group differences were significantly varies from the others. The mean IEPS score of health science librarians was comparable to the mean score of health profession students commencing previous research. Fewer people worked on group or participated in extracurricular activities like reading clubs and grand rounds; the majority often reported interprofessional engagement was instructing or facilitating learning behaviour for students in the health profession. Health science librarians in this research had favourable sentiments regarding IPE, which is consistent with the common among other health professionals and subsequently the subject of research. The replies to the poll were not significantly influenced by the existence of an experience, prior professions as a health expert, or past work supporting IPE as a librarian. This implies that health science librarians are supportive of IPE, whether or not librarian actively promote IPE initiatives or engage in interprofessional activities
