Published: January 2023

Abstract
Ukraine stands on the threshold of economic development and outdated habits. At the same time, the situation with landfills and ecologically oriented productions is much wider than in Western countries. But thanks to the popularity of the transition to alternative energy sources, even the country’s population already partially uses it. The aquaculture sector is one of the promising areas of the Ukrainian economy. Currently, it is only taking its modern form. This study examines the prospects for the development of the aquaculture sector in the circular economy, as a reliable pillar of Ukraine’s food security in the long term. Weaknesses and opportunities of the sector, as well as pre-war growth trends, are identified. A number of recommendations are also offered to direct attention to the issues of the sector.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Corg levels, Ntot level, and CN ratio are indicators for nitrogen limitation of plants and other organisms in the recovery process of storm-damaged forests. Here we compare between the 2 sections by multifactor-ANOVA analysis sediment characteristics along with the succession of a monoculture of Rhizophora in the South Vietnam with data from from 2007 to 2019 to know the initial state of the sediment after the disturbance and change during the self-recovery of the ecosystem. In the first stage, the Corg levels were much higher, while the Ntot deficiency was a crisis. Due to the presence of tall trees and the recovery process, the growth of nitrogen fixation mediated by attached microalgae on the surface sediments and the microbes living in the rhizosphere. Follow-up assessments and field experiments are needed to understand the sediment characteristics vary during the self-recovery of the ecosystem.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The increase in emissions of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances carried out in the process of production leads to an increase in environmental disasters and the deterioration of climatic conditions, despite the growth of green projects and the introduction of eco-innovations in production. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the use of green financial instruments in fiscal policy and assess its impact on environmental management in ensuring economic sustainability based on the application of theoretical and empirical methods of analysis. A method for identifying the dynamics of development of environmental taxation in the EU budget is proposed. The theoretical analysis carried out by the authors made it possible to identify the tools of the impact of fiscal policy in ensuring economic sustainability: the provision of benefits, subsidies; transfer payments; change in environmental tax rates. When choosing instruments of fiscal regulation, a methodology is proposed for determining the significance of environmental revenues in EU budget revenues, which is recommended in monitoring and assessing the impact of fiscal policy on environmental management in ensuring economic sustainability.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe current state of the problems of protecting the surrounding environment from the impact of anthropogenic human activity because of oil extraction and using oil products is analyzed. The existing methods of liquidation of technological and emergency spills of oil products were considered. It was found that the final stage of their collection requires the use of sorbents. We compared sorption characteristics, cost, environmental friendliness of disposal, availability, etc. of existing natural, artificial, organic and inorganic sorbents. And expanded graphite (EG) was singled out as the most attractive in terms of all the considered characteristics. The sorption properties of EG were studied using the example of the absorption of heavy types of oil, petroleum and decane. The advantages of EG as a sorbent have been established. The issue of increasing the bulk mass of EG for its efficient transportation by air transport to the zone of ecological disaster elimination has been resolved.

Authors: Hrytsiuk P , Parfeniuk O , Shevchenko I 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
As a result of phenomenon of demographic transition, Verhulst’s logistic model is again relevant and allows to adequately reflect modern trends in population growth. The logistic dynamics of population growth can be considered as one of the main prerequisites for global sustainable development. Our research was based on the conclusions of most modern researchers, according to which the number of the Earth’s population cannot grow indefinitely. Such estimates are based on the limited reserves of the main exhaustible resources and on the current trend of declining birth rates. This indicates that the planet is moving into a new stationary state that corresponds to its increased industrial and technological capabilities, a higher level of health care. We built the logistic models that describe the dynamics of Earth population growth and its individual continents. These models make it possible to forecast the population size and its growth rates for the next 200 years. Obtained results open up an opportunity for regulation and optimal management of the Earth’s demographic resources.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Satellite data of high spatial resolution have become publicly available since the launch of the EU Copernicus program, and their automated processing methods for solving a large number of diverse applied problems have received further development. Our task in this article is to analyze the dynamics of the land degradation level using land degradation assessment approaches based on satellite monitoring and taking appropriate measures. Within this work authors have developed the complex method for land degradation estimation that uses different schemes for separate land cover and crop types at country level based on satellite and modelling data. The deforestation was considered as land degradation in forest areas. For agricultural land, land degradation is determined by comparing the actual leaf area index (LAI) with the simulated (ideal) LAI, and for uncultivated land it is based on normalized difference vegetation index trend analysis from satellite information.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Hybrid integration of silicon rich nitride and lithium niobate on insulator (SRN-LNOI) is an emerging material platform for photonic integrated circuits (PIC). In this paper, we present a systematic numerical investigation of the mode properties of a strip-loaded SRN-LNOI hybrid waveguide at 1550 nm wavelength using the full-vectorial finite difference method. Considering the anisotropic nature of the lithium niobate (LN) crystal, the effective refractive indices of the transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes of strip-loaded SRN-LN hybrid waveguides were analyzed. The single-mode condition, zero-birefringence, effective mode area, and power distribution in terms of the geometrical parameters of the strip-loaded SRN-LN hybrid waveguide are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the optical power transmission in both straight and bent waveguides, as well as the different characteristics of the optical power confinement of the fundamental modes in the SRN and LN layers were analyzed. This study provides useful information for designing high-performance photonic devices on a hybrid SRN-LNOI platform for future PIC applications.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Helium plasma jets generated by micro-hollow cathode discharge (MHCD) with the square-wave power source of different polarities are investigated in this work. The effects of positive and negative polarity pulses on the MHCD and plasma jet were compared, and the time-resolved optical emission spectra of excited species (

and O) were studied. The results confirm that the electric field is a key factor for the propagation of the jet during the rising edge of the positive current pulse, while the gas expansion is mainly important for the jet propagation during the current stable phase. The time-resolved spectra show that the generation of specie O in the jet-driven by the electric field is more efficient.
Defamation of the president, racial nationalism, and the Roy Clarke affair in Zambia
Authors: Sishuwa Sishuwa , Money Duncan 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
In January 2004, residents of Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, were treated to a disturbing sight. Over 200 members of the governing Movement for Multiparty Democracy party marched through the streets of the capital carrying a mock coffin bearing the name of Roy Clarke, a prominent newspaper satirist and white British national who had been a permanent resident in the country since the early 1960s. The protesters accused Clarke of insulting and defaming President Levy Mwanawasa in his previous column and demanded his immediate deportation. The Minister of Home Affairs obliged, but the satirist successfully challenged his deportation in Zambia’s courts. Drawing from newspaper sources, court documents, and interviews with key informants, this article shows that these protests were anything but a spontaneous demonstration of public outrage. Instead, they had been carefully orchestrated by Mwanawasa and his close allies to bolster Mwanawasa’s beleaguered presidency. The article argues that deportation orders and racial nationalism against racial minorities are strategies adopted by political elites during periods of weakness, even when these ideas have little or no popular support. More broadly, we argue that the status of racial minorities and other foreigners in Zambia is often provisional, depending on political considerations.
GSEL: a fast, flexible python package for detecting signatures of diverse evolutionary forces on genomic regions

Published: January 2023

Abstract

Summary
GSEL is a computational framework for calculating the enrichment of signatures of diverse evolutionary forces in a set of genomic regions. GSEL can flexibly integrate any sequence-based evolutionary metric and analyze sets of human genomic regions identified by genome-wide assays (e.g. GWAS, eQTL, *-seq). The core of GSEL’s approach is the generation of empirical null distributions tailored to the allele frequency and linkage disequilibrium structure of the regions of interest. We illustrate the application of GSEL to variants identified from a GWAS of body mass index, a highly polygenic trait.

Availability and implementation
GSEL is implemented as a fast, flexible and user-friendly python package. It is available with demonstration data at https://github.com/abraham-abin13/gsel_vec.

The ups and downs of STAT3 function: too much, too little and human immune dysregulation
Authors: Mackie Joseph , Ma Cindy S , Tangye Stuart G , Guerin Antoine 
Published: January 2023

Summary
The STAT3 story has almost 30 years of evolving history. First identified in 1994 as a pro-inflammatory transcription factor, Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) has continued to be revealed as a quintessential pleiotropic signalling module spanning fields including infectious diseases, autoimmunity, vaccine responses, metabolism, and malignancy. In 2007, germline heterozygous dominant-negative loss-of-function variants in STAT3 were discovered as the most common cause for a triad of eczematoid dermatitis with recurrent skin and pulmonary infections, first described in 1966. This finding established that STAT3 plays a critical non-redundant role in immunity against some pathogens, as well as in the connective tissue, dental and musculoskeletal systems. Several years later, in 2014, heterozygous activating gain of function germline STAT3 variants were found to be causal for cases of early-onset multiorgan autoimmunity, thereby underpinning the notion that STAT3 function needed to be regulated to maintain immune homeostasis. As we and others continue to interrogate biochemical and cellular perturbations due to inborn errors in STAT3, we will review our current understanding of STAT3 function, mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, and future directions in this dynamic field.
Setting the record straight on the recovery from the 1920–1921 recession
Authors: Borazan Ahmad 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The US recovery from the 1920–21 recession has been presented as a triumph of laissez-faire policies and a serious challenge to Keynesian economics. This study interrogates this claim by using previously unutilised data and examines the historical development of the early 1920s recession and recovery. The study refutes the laissez-faire view and shows that the recovery indeed fits Keynes’s perspective. The deflationary recession was largely engineered by the Federal Reserve a la 1980s Volker disinflation. The recovery closely followed the reversal of tight monetary policy and was propelled by exceptionally long pent-up private consumption and residential spending. The recovery initiated the Roaring Twenties boom of weakened organised labour, rising income inequality and mounting private debt. This private debt-led boom proved unsustainable and was fraught with risks that contributed to the severity of the Great Depression. Although the recovery was not driven by fiscal policy, it cannot be seen as driven by price flexibility either.
Complete heart block associated with paraneoplastic hypercalcemia: a case report
Authors: Khederlou Hamid 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Background
Complete heart block (CHB) means a lack of association between the atrium and the ventricle. Hypercalcemia is an electrolyte disorder that rarely causes CHB.

Case summary
Hereby, we report the case of a 59-year-old male who was admitted with general weakness. The electrocardiography (ECG) changes revealed CHB, short QT interval due to short ST segment, and generalized ST elevation. The initial calcium level was 15.8 mg/dL (high), and serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, and phosphorus were normal. A chest computed tomography scan showed a large, central mass with cavitation in the right lung. After an initial diagnosis of lung cancer and paraneoplastic hypercalcemia, the patient was treated with normal saline, calcitonin, and zoledronic acid, whose calcium levels decreased to 10.4 mg/dL after 4 days. Pathological ECG findings were also resolved after the correction of serum levels of calcium.

Discussion
Hypercalcemia sometimes occurs as a paraneoplastic syndrome following the production of PTH-related peptide by malignant cells, including squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Complete heart block associated with paraneoplastic syndrome has been reported so far in only one study.

Abstract

Background
Approximately 77% of older adults with dementia in Brazil have not been diagnosed, indicating a major public health issue. Previous epidemiological dementia studies in Brazil were based on data from 1 geopolitical region.

Methods
We aimed to estimate the general and subgroup-specific (age, education, and sex) prevalence of dementia and cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) classification using data from 5 249 participants aged 60 years and older from the ELSI-Brazil, a large nationally representative sample. Participants were classified as having normal cognitive function, CIND, or dementia based on a combination of the individual’s cognitive and functional status.

Results
We found a general prevalence of 5.8% (95% CI = 4.7–7.2) for dementia and 8.1% (95% CI = 6.8–9.5) for CIND. Dementia prevalence ranged from 3.2% (60–64 years old) to 42.8% (≥90 years old) by age, and from 2.1% (college level or higher) to 16.5% (illiterates) by education. Females had a higher dementia prevalence (6.8%) than males (4.6%). CIND prevalence was similar across age, sex, and education.

Conclusions
The estimated dementia prevalence is lower than that in previous Brazilian epidemiological studies, but is in line with other Latin American studies. Only 1.2% of the ELSI-Brazil participants reported having a previous diagnosis of dementia, revealing that underdiagnosis is rampant and a common reality. Based on our results and national statistics projections, we estimate that in 2019, there were 1 757 480 people aged 60 years and older living with dementia in Brazil and, at least, another 2 271 314 having to deal with some form of cognitive impairment.
A deep learning approach for suppressing noise in livestream earthquake data from a large seismic network
Authors: Wang Han , Zhang Jie 
Published: January 2023

SUMMARY
Detecting and analyzing small earthquakes is important for many seismological studies. Signals of small earthquakes are often obscured by noise. Recent advances in signal processing and deep learning along with available computing resources provide a great opportunity to address this challenge. In this study, we present a time domain method of suppressing noise for processing livestream earthquake data from a large seismic network by applying a deep neural network Real-time Denoiser (RTDenoiser). This neural network is able to attenuate a variety of colored noise and non-earthquake signals and suppress noise in the overlapping frequency bandwidth with signals. Because of its simplicity in time domain without domain transformation and subsequent processing, the method is able to process continuous livestream three-component data from several hundreds of seismic stations simultaneously. We create ‘noise-free’ samples by scaling down the waveforms of relatively large events from ML 3.5–5.0 to ML 1.5–3.0 according to the Richter scaling relationship. We also select noise samples from the same seismic station and add to ‘noise-free’ data to generate samples at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels. These data samples are randomly split into training, validation, and test sets. We verify the trained network to process data recorded in Sichuan and Yunnan, China from 2013 to 2018. Results show that the RTDenoiser can help improve SNRs from 5 dB to 15 dB in averag. The number of detected small events at magnitude between ML 1.0 and 3.0 has been increased by 58.8 per cent. The method is currently applied in a seismic network of 300 stations in Sichuan and Yunnan, China for continuous processing. It takes about 10 ms on average to process three-component 60-s data from 300 seismic stations on a single GPU.
