Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this increasingly complex modern era, sustainability and social responsibility have become crucial elements in assessing the success of a country. The social and environmental roles also define the country’s representation, thus the existence of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) concept becomes important. This research is conducted to investigate the effect of ESG variables towards economic growth among ASEAN countries from 2002-2020. The macroeconomic variables include Inflation, FDI, and GDP growth; CO2 Emissions as the environment indicator; Human Development Index (HDI) and Labor Force Participation Rate as the social indicators; and government indicator explained by Government Effectiveness Index. This paper considers the regional clusterization of 10 countries in ASEAN to recognize the pattern of those macroeconomic variables along with ESG variables. In order to achieve our aims, this research applies Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The VECM is particularly suitable for this study due to its ability to handle non-stationary time series data while allowing for the exploration of both short-term and long-term dynamics between the variables. By including macroeconomic indicators, we can better isolate the specific effects of ESG variables on growth. The results from the VECM will be interpreted to understand both the immediate and gradual impacts of ESG initiatives on economic development in ASEAN countries. The analysis begins with unit root tests to confirm the stationarity of the data, followed by cointegration tests to establish long-term relationships among the variables. Finally, the VECM will be estimated to quantify the impact of ESG factors on economic growth with controlling for macroeconomic variables. Model quantitative research with secondary data from 2002-2020. The empirical results indicate that in the long term, CO2 emissions positively affect GDP, while FDI, the Government Effectiveness Index, Inflation, and Labor Force Participation Rate have negative effects, though HDI’s positive effect on GDP is statistically insignificant. In the short term, significant influences on GDP include its values from the previous two periods and HDI from one period ago.

Abstract
Road Maintenance needs to consider environmental issues, which is an important step to ensure that road maintenance not only improves transportation quality but also protects the environment. Road conditions play a crucial role in reducing potential environmental damage, as quality and well-maintained roads can reduce negative environmental impacts, such as vehicle emissions, air pollution, and minimize damage to surrounding ecosystems. Conversely, damaged roads can cause vehicles to emit more vehicle emissions, and disrupt ecosystems. Therefore, timely road condition assessment and road maintenance are important steps to ensure that roads remain safe and efficient for users while protecting the environment from negative impacts Jalan Raya Timur Kendal road is a national road in Kendal city, The results showed that the condition of Jalan Raya Timur Kendal road experienced significant damage is There are 12 types along the flexible pavement on Jalan Raya Timur Kendal with the area of each damage with The largest damage is Patching & Util. Cut Patching damage with a damage area of 182,466 m2 for CO
2 emissions generated by vehicles travelling on the Jalan Raya Timur Kendal are 11.942,68 kg/year, it can be concluded that the condition of the road surface affects the emissions released by the vehicle, where the more damage to the pavement, the vehicle speed will decrease so that the vehicle will produce more CO emissions, and the technical treatments that can be applied to the pavement are P4 (Crack Filling), P5 (Patching) and P6 (Leveling).

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study explores the economic valuation of tourist support for carbon reduction initiatives within the context of blue economy tourism in Nusa Penida, Indonesia. Employing a contingent valuation method (CVM), the research quantifies tourists’ willingness to pay (WTP) for initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices in a marine-focused tourism setting. A sample of 1,152 tourists was surveyed to assess their financial commitment based on demographic variables such as income, gender, and environmental awareness. The analysis reveals that tourists with higher incomes and strong environmental inclinations exhibit a greater propensity to financially support carbon reduction projects. This willingness is influenced significantly by an understanding of the benefits these initiatives have for marine conservation and the overall health of the local ecosystem. The study’s findings offer crucial insights for stakeholders in the tourism and environmental sectors, indicating that effective communication of the positive impacts of carbon reduction on marine environments can enhance visitor contributions. These contributions could crucially support the implementation of blue economy principles, promoting economic and environmental sustainability in Nusa Penida.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The development of energy prices over time has depended on several factors. Difficulties and disruptions in local and global energy markets caused by climate change, pandemics and wars have accelerated the transition to clean energy. The overview of electricity generation in four countries (e.g. Lithuania, Italy, Iceland and Austria) is examined. The energy policy outlined in the REPowerEU program focuses on saving energy, producing clean energy and diversifying the energy supply at EU level and in the member states. However, more electricity production from non-dispatchable renewable energy sources has introduced a phenomenon of negative electricity prices, highlighting importance of energy storage. This paper focuses on the contribution that hydropower can bring to the energy market. Two contributions of hydropower assets are crucial in the European energy market for the regulation of the power grid. The flexibility and storage capabilities of reservoir and pumped storage power plants are unmatched by any other technology. These contributions of the hydropower sector to the energy market and the new challenges in the operation of hydropower plants are discussed involving critical analysis of four countries.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Previous research has identified flexible Norwegian hydropower as one potential key resource for managing variations in wind and solar power in Northern Europe. There is, however, a need for further detailed examination of this potential role of Norwegian hydropower based on updated future scenarios and using the latest data and model tools available. We analyze potential power system impacts of expanding Norwegian hydropower flexibility and Norway-Europe transmission, considering renewable energy variability based on a simulation for the historical weather years 1991-2020. The simulations are performed using FanSi, a stochastic optimization model for analyzing large-scale power systems with significant shares of hydropower combined with high shares of wind/solar power. A year 2050 scenario for Europe from the integrated energy system model SCOPE SD is used as framework for our analysis with FanSi. Our results highlight how expanded hydropower and transmission can potentially reduce price spikes during periods of low wind/solar output, reduce wind/solar energy curtailment during periods of high wind/solar output; and reduce price differences between interconnected areas during periods of either low or high wind/solar output. We demonstrate that these effects are attributable to more dynamic operation and expanded operational ranges of hydropower and transmission in the simulations assuming expanded hydropower and transmission capacities. We acknowledge high fundamental uncertainty in modelling a future system for the year 2050.
The Transatlantic Era of Autism
Authors: Briggs Jonathyne 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter focuses on Sammy Y., a nine-year-old autistic child whose treatment became the subject of a popular book that helped introduce autism to the French public. His case study illustrates several significant points about the history of autism in France, particularly the early transatlantic engagement between child psychologists, the assumptions about childhood shared between different nations, and questions concerning the appropriate treatment of disabled children. This chapter examines these elements as well as the history of child psychology as a distinct discipline in France to illuminate how autism treatment developed divergently. It foregrounds the work of child psychologists such as Serge Lebovici, Maud Mannoni, and Françoise Dolto, noting their influence in the interpretation of autism as their work reached professional and eventually general audiences. This chapter also examines the growing acceptance of psychoanalysis in French psychology and how its rise connected with larger trends in postwar intellectual life.
The Deepening Divergence
Authors: Briggs Jonathyne 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter examines the renewed advocacy of parents’ associations in the 1990s, as many other countries abandoned the psychogenic assumptions about autism. While these new efforts to change treatment strategies did not meet with sustained success, they did lead to greater international cooperation. The creation of the European Union added another layer of authority, which advocates used to challenge the situation in France, and many families sought treatment outside France. Their efforts contributed to important legal reforms during the 1990s specifically addressing the educational needs of autistic children. At the same time, however, the prominence of these groups marginalized the voices of autistic people and kept the focus on autism as a disorder of childhood, rather than a lifelong disability.
Health Equity Frameworks for Structural and Behavioral Change
Authors: Flynt-Wallington Sherrie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
There is an ever-evolving language around health disparities and health equity and what is considered a disparity. Though “disparity” is used less often, health disparities and health equity are often conflated. This chapter assesses the various definitions of “health disparity” and “equity.” And finally, how do social determinants of health give power and privilege to some but not all? Identifying the mechanisms to grow health equity will implicate changing structures of privilege as well as stimulate individual-level behavioral change for people at placements along the privilege gradient. However, being able to identify those mechanisms requires an understanding of the underlying theory or framework to tell us where to look for problems. Mechanisms are essential because they can tell us how and where to intervene. This chapter summarizes various frameworks for health equity that trainees and scholars can use to describe the mechanisms and justify factors to explore in health equity.
Race Theories, Antiracism, and Applications for Health
Authors: Jones-Eversley Sharon D 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Race theories provide a cultural context and stimulate intersectional research pathways in which race and race-related aspects, knowledge, and understanding are elevated, debated, and birthed. Critical race theory is a race theory that posits that the sociopolitical construction of race privileges White Americans while it dehumanizes and discriminates against non-White people, particularly Black people. This chapter historically reviews critical race theory, the various levels at which racism operates in public health, and how public health has been complicit in racist structures. The critical race theory and racial trauma theory serve as foundational theories to advocate for antiracism in public health. The chapter ends by presenting two methodology approaches: culturally responsive and equitable evaluation (CREE) and decolonizing research methodological approaches. Collectively, these methodologies and theories may result in promising antiracist health education, practices, and research that can systematically benefit marginalized and minoritized populations
‘I Know Better What I Want and What I Can Do’: Career Development in Established Adulthood
Authors: Mehta Clare M 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Committing to a job or a career is often seen as hallmark of adulthood. This chapter explores the significance of work in the lives of established adults, characterizing it as a period of career stability for some and a period of career growth and change for others. The chapter starts by describing the career exploration in emerging adulthood that prepares people for careers in established adulthood, and then describes the ways in which career exploration and career transitions may continue for some established adults. Next, the chapter explores established adults’ experiences of job stability and job satisfaction and describes how they think about and plan for the future of their careers. Finally, the chapter describes established adults’ experience of the career and care crunch with a focus on how care responsibilities influence their experience of work.
Discourse-based approaches to autistic focussed interests: Understanding shared focus, mutual accommodation, and multimodal expression
Authors: Aiston Jessica , Koteyko Nelya , van Driel Martine 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Interactions between autistic and non-autistic people are often characterized by misunderstanding and a ‘double empathy problem’ (Milton, Gurbuz, and López 2022). Thus, there is a need for applied linguistics research that seeks to concretely address and improve these communication barriers and lead to more positive and equitable interactions. In this position paper, we critically review existing discourse approaches to autistic communication and argue that future research must be participatory, affirmative of neurodiversity, and applied in service of addressing this double empathy problem. In particular, we argue that applied linguists should pay more attention to the role of focussed interests and show how discourse analysis can shed light on the valuable role of interest-driven interactions, both among autistic people and between autistic and non-autistic people. Following this, we propose several directions for future directions for applied linguistics research into autistic communication. Specifically, we suggest that linguistics could explore the potential for focussed interests for fostering shared focus, mutual accommodation, and multimodal expression, and consider how these findings can be translated into positive impact for autistic communities.
Recent advances in the role of neuroregulation in skin wound healing

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Neuroregulation during skin wound healing involves complex interactions between the nervous system and intricate tissue repair processes. The skin, the largest organ, depends on a complex system of nerves to manage responses to injury. Recent research has emphasized the crucial role of neuroregulation in maximizing wound healing outcomes. Recently, researchers have also explained the interactive contact between the peripheral nervous system and skin cells during the different phases of wound healing. Neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, once observed as simple signalling molecules, have since been recognized as effective regulators of inflammation, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation. The significance of skin innervation and neuromodulators is underscored by the delayed wound healing observed in patients with diabetes and the regenerative capabilities of foetal skin. Foetal skin regeneration is influenced by the neuroregulatory environment, immature immune system, abundant growth factors, and increased pluripotency of cells. Foetal skin cells exhibit greater flexibility and specialized cell types, and the extracellular matrix composition promotes regeneration. The extracellular matrix composition of foetal skin promotes regeneration, making it more capable than adult skin because neuroregulatory signals affect skin regeneration. The understanding of these systems can facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies to alter the nerve supply to the skin to enhance the process of wound healing. Neuroregulation is being explored as a potential therapeutic strategy for enhancing skin wound repair. Bioelectronic strategies and neuromodulation techniques can manipulate neural signalling, optimize the neuroimmune axis, and modulate inflammation. This review describes the function of skin innervation in wound healing, emphasizing the importance of neuropeptides released by sensory and autonomic nerve fibres. This article discusses significant discoveries related to neuroregulation and its impact on skin wound healing.
Developmental maturation of millimeter-scale functional networks across brain areas

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Processing sensory information, generating perceptions, and shaping behavior engages neural networks in brain areas with highly varied representations, ranging from unimodal sensory cortices to higher-order association areas. In early development, these areas share a common distributed and modular functional organization, but it is not known whether this undergoes a common developmental trajectory, or whether such organization persists only in some brain areas. Here, we examine the development of network organization across diverse cortical regions in ferrets using in vivo wide field calcium imaging of spontaneous activity. In both primary sensory (visual, auditory, and somatosensory) and higher order association (prefrontal and posterior parietal) areas, spontaneous activity remained significantly modular with pronounced millimeter-scale correlations over a 3-wk period spanning eye opening and the transition to externally-driven sensory activity. Over this period, cortical areas exhibited a roughly similar set of developmental changes, along with area-specific differences. Modularity and long-range correlation strength generally decreased with age, along with increases in the dimensionality of activity, although these effects were not uniform across all brain areas. These results indicate an interplay of area-specific factors with a conserved developmental program that maintains modular functional networks, suggesting modular organization may be involved in functional representations in diverse brain areas.
A generative model for non-assortative communities in directed networks
Authors: Liu Cathy Xuanchi , Alexander Tristram J , Altmann Eduardo G 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Large complex networks are often organized into groups or communities. In this paper, we introduce and investigate a generative model of network evolution that reproduces all four pairwise community types that exist in directed networks: assortative, core-periphery, disassortative, and the newly introduced source-basin type. We fix the number of nodes and the community membership of each node, allowing node connectivity to change through rewiring mechanisms that depend on the community membership of the involved nodes. We determine the dependence of the community relationship on the model parameters using a mean-field solution. It reveals that a difference in the swap probabilities of the two communities is a necessary condition to obtain a core-periphery relationship and that a difference in the average in-degree of the communities is a necessary condition for a source-basin relationship. More generally, our analysis reveals multiple possible scenarios for the transition between the different structure types, and sheds light on the mechanisms underlying the observation of the different types of communities in network data.

Abstract
Lichens are complex symbiotic systems where fungi interact with an extracellular arrangement of one or more photosynthetic partners and an indeterminate number of other microbes. Recently, specific lichen–microbial community associations have been proposed. In this study, we aimed to characterize the differences in bacteria associated with closely related lichens, under a defined set of environmental conditions in Colombian paramos. Our goal was to determine if there is a correlation between microbiota and host divergence in lichen species belonging to the genus Sticta. We found that specific microbiota are defined by their mycobiont at the genus level. Further, distinct bacterial families show differences among the three studied genera, and specific amplicon sequence variants further discriminate among lichen species within each genus. A geographic component also determines the composition of these microbial communities among lichen species. Our functional analysis revealed that fungal partners play a key role in synthesizing complex polysaccharides, while bacterial-derived antioxidants and photoprotective mechanisms contribute to desiccation tolerance in lichens. These insights highlight the complex interactions within lichen symbioses that could be relevant in environments such as the paramo ecosystem.
Plasmodium falciparum CyRPA Glycan Binding Does Not Explain Adaptation to Humans
Authors: Sharp Paul M , Bibollet-Ruche Frederic , Hahn Beatrice H 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum evolved from a parasite that infects gorillas, termed Plasmodium praefalciparum. The sialic acids on glycans on the surface of erythrocytes differ between humans and other apes. It has recently been shown that the P. falciparum cysteine-rich protective antigen (PfCyRPA) binds human sialoglycans as an essential step in the erythrocyte invasion pathway, while that of the chimpanzee parasite, Plasmodium reichenowi has affinities matching ape glycans. Two amino acid changes, at sites 154 and 209, were shown to be sufficient to switch glycan binding preferences and inferred to reflect adaptation of P. falciparum to humans. However, we show that sites 154 and 209 are identical in P. falciparum and P. praefalciparum, with no other differences located in or near the CyRPA glycan binding sites. Thus, the gorilla precursor appears to have already been preadapted to bind human sialoglycans.
