Energy Transition Enhancement in Emerging Economies: EU's and Japan's Strategies for Central Asia
Authors: Shadrina Elena 
Published: January 2025

The paper operationalizes the notion of strategy for energy transition enhancement (SETE) as a specific set of energy transition diplomacy (ETD) instruments tuned to a particular external/ third country or region/ context. The paper shows that the ideational parameters and structural components of a (supra)nation's energy transition strategy influence its ETD. Being a geographically specific form of a (supra) nation's ETD, SETE is susceptible to the shifts in global, (supra)national, and third country/ region contexts. The paper examines the European Union (EU)'s and Japan's approaches to fostering energy transition in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). Central Asian economies' robust renewable energy (RE) development potential is barely tapped due to technological, financing, and institutional constraints. The EU and Japan pursue energy transition security, possess certain technological advantages, and seek greater normative power in global decarbonization. The study argues that these aspects make cooperation among the EU, Japan, and Central Asian economies feasible and mutually attractive.

Reliability Analysis of Residential Buildings Under Hurricane Using Embedded FBG Sensors: Remaining Useful Lifetime Analysis
Authors: Zabihollah Abolghassem , Shi Yu 
Published: January 2025

Every year, the lack of reliable and affordable structural health monitoring systems to assess the resilience of residential buildings in coastal areas results in extensive damage from strong winds and hurricanes. This work investigates the use of embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors for the structural health monitoring of residential timber buildings for reliability assessment. The remaining useful lifetime (RUL) of buildings after being impacted by hurricane has been estimated using long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network. A proof-of-concept experimental setup has validated the system’s performance and functionality. Multiple one-story and two-story scaled-down (~1:20) prototype timber buildings were constructed and placed in a wind tunnel to assess their structural performance and stability under wind speeds ranging from 0 to 150 mph. FBG sensors attached to the buildings measured strain in real time. The measured strain data are used to estimate the building’s reliability. A mathematical Health Indicator is introduced to determine the level of structural integrity and health under varying load and structural conditions. The FBG sensors demonstrated accurate measurement and real-time monitoring of strain changes in selected structural elements during high wind speeds. Assessment results can inform condition-based maintenance, safety evaluations, and stability reports. Additionally, the system can issue real-time warnings for potential failures and damages, thereby enhancing the overall resilience of residential buildings.

AskingBristol: hacia la Universidad Cívica
Authors: Canós-Cerdá José Hilario , Manley John 
Published: January 2025

En la lucha contra la desigualdad y en la promoción del bienestar social en las sociedades modernas, el llamado tercer sector complementa la labor de los gobiernos y el sector privado, ofreciendo servicios y apoyo a comunidades y grupos vulnerables. Es una estructura dominada por un pequeño número de grandes donantes y un pequeño número de grandes solicitantes, hasta el punto de que, con frecuencia, el 80% de las organizaciones benéficas recibe solo el 4% de los fondos del sector, por lo que gran cantidad de pequeñas organizaciones benéficas y grupos comunitarios/voluntarios subsisten con poco o ningún acceso a lo que necesitaban para servir a sus comunidades. En este artículo presentamos AskingBristol, una iniciativa encaminada a convertir la universidad en un actor clave en los procesos del tercer sector. Específicamente, se aprovecha la alta conectividad social que proporciona la extensa comunidad universitaria para incrementar la alcanzabilidad de las peticiones de las entidades del tercer sector hasta los potenciales donantes. Probada con éxito en la ciudad de Bristol (Reino Unido), es fácilmente repetible en otros contextos similares.
Quem controla o vento? Uma análise da territorialização das empresas de energia eólica no estado da Bahia, Brasil
Authors: Izá Pereira Lorena 
Published: January 2025

A transição energética é a principal política na agenda governamental brasileira para alcançar as metas do Acordo de Paris (2015). Embora o incentivo a instalação de projetos de energia eólica no Brasil seja datado de 2001, esta ação de mitigação adquiriu projeção após 2009, em decorrência da necessidade de diversificação dos portfólios de investimento de empresas vinculadas ao capital estrangeiro. O objetivo proposto é realizar uma análise da territorialização de empresas de geração de energia eólica na Bahia, identificando as corporações que detém a geração de energia e as estratégias utilizadas para controlar o território baiano. A partir da organização e da sistematização de dados disponibilizados no âmbito do Estado, foi possível concluir que as dinâmicas utilizadas pelas empresas evidenciam a busca pelo lucro, sendo as crises climática e ambiental apropriadas para legitimar a territorialização de projetos de energia eólica no Estado. Este processo tem reforçado as desigualdades históricas na distribuição de renda e terra, inserindo elementos importantes para o debate da questão agrária.

Can I Have Babies Too?
Authors: Doef Sanderijn van der , Bennett Clare , Lueks Arris 
Published: January 2025

I dream of a world in which every child can be taught about relationships and sexuality in the caring, honest, dignified, non-judgmental, and truly child-centered manner this book models for parents and teachers. The authors' approach is patient and generous, and their message, while it may still seem revolutionary in countries such as the United States, is sensible, practical, and proven: young people of all ages have the right to comprehensive knowledge about bodies, friendship, and love. When this right is respected, children are empowered to make lifelong good choices allowing them to enjoy, respect, and safeguard their hearts, minds, and bodies-as well as those belonging to others.
This small book has the power to transform the next generation of children and to empower parents and educators to give young people the self-esteem, confidence, respect, and empathy it takes to build healthy, equal, and fulfilling relationships. I will be emphatically recommending this book to all of the parents and educators I work with.

PurposeThis study aimed to compare the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to differentiate reactive lymphadenitis from nodal lymphoma of the head and neck.Material and methodsThis study included 138 patients with histopathologically confirmed cervical lymphadenopathy, including 35 patients with reactive lymphadenitis and 103 patients with nodal lymphoma, who had neck MRI (<i>n</i> = 63) and/or <sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET/CT (<i>n</i> = 123) before biopsy. The quantitative and qualitative MRI results and maximum stan­dardised uptake value (SUV<sub>max</sub>) were retrospectively analysed and compared between the 2 pathologies.ResultsThe maximum diameter (22.4 ± 6.9 vs. 33.3 ± 16.0 mm, <i>p</i> < 0.01), minimum diameter (15.8 ± 3.6 vs. 22.3 ± 8.5 mm, <i>p</i> < 0.01), and SUV<sub>max</sub> (6.9 ± 2.7 vs. 12.8 ± 8.0, <i>p</i> < 0.01) of the lesion were lower in reactive lymphadenitis than in nodal lymphoma, respectively. T2-hypointense-thickened capsules > 2 mm (46% vs. 14%, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and T2-hypointense areas converging to the periphery (15% vs. 0%, <i>p</i> < 0.05) were more frequently observed in reactive lymphadenitis than in nodal lymphoma, respectively. Hilum of nodes on T2-weighted images (54% vs. 22%, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and diffusion-weighted images (69% vs. 30%, <i>p</i> < 0.05) were more frequently demonstrated in reactive lymphadenitis than in nodal lymphoma, respectively.ConclusionsReactive lymphadenitis had a smaller size and lower SUV<sub>max</sub>. The presence of T2-hypointense-thickened capsules, T2-hypointense areas converging to the periphery, and hilum of nodes were signs of reactive lymphadenitis.
