Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Tianshan Mountains of Central Asia, highly sensitive to climate change, has been comprehensively assessed for its ecosystem vulnerability across multiple aspects. However, studies on the region’s main river systems and hydropower resources remain limited. Thus, examining the impact of climate change on the runoff and gross hydropower potential (GHP) of this region is essential for promoting sustainable development and effective management of water and hydropower resources. This study focused on the Kaidu River Basin that is situated above the Dashankou Hydropower Station on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, China. By utilizing an ensemble of bias-corrected global climate models (GCMs) from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model coupled with a glacier module (VIC–Glacier), we examined the variations in future runoff and GHP during 2017–2070 under four shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5) compared to the baseline period (1985–2016). The findings indicated that precipitation and temperature in the Kaidu River Basin exhibit a general upward trend under the four SSP scenarios, with the fastest rate of increase in precipitation under the SSP2-4.5 scenario and the most significant changes in mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, compared to the baseline period (1980–2016). Future runoff in the basin is projected to decrease, with rates of decline under the SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios being 3.09, 3.42, 7.04, and 7.20 m3/s per decade, respectively. The trends in GHP are consistent with runoff, with rates of decline in GHP under the SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios at 507.74, 563.33, 1158.44, and 1184.52 MW/10a, respectively. Compared to the baseline period (1985–2016), the rates of change in GHP under the SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 scenarios are −20.66%, −20.93%, −18.91%, and −17.49%, respectively. The Kaidu River Basin will face significant challenges in water and hydropower resources in the future, underscoring the need to adjust water resource management and hydropower planning within the basin.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the stochastic Davey-Stewartson equation in the presence of noise. These two-dimensional integrable equations are higher-dimensional versions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Davey-Stewartson equations are important in plasma physics, nonlinear optics, hydrodynamics, and other disciplines because the solutions they provide are valuable in understanding many complex physical phenomena. We employ a modified version of the

approach to handle variable-coefficient systems with imaginary components, such as nonlinear Schrödinger systems. We have discovered a wide range of precise traveling wave solutions, including solitons, kink, periodic, and rational solutions. These solutions may have a significant impact in the domains of engineering and plasma physics. The presented techniques effectively achieve a variety of exponential solutions, including bright, dark, single, rational, and periodic solitary wave solutions. We used MATLAB to simulate our findings and provide 3D, 2D, and counter graphs that illustrate the impact of noise on the precise solutions of the stochastic Davey-Stewartson problem. We apply the Galilean transformation to derive the planar dynamical system, which enhances our understanding of the system’s dynamical analysis. We also conduct a sensitivity analysis to observe the systematic response to various initial conditions. This analysis focuses on the symmetrical aspects of the system and includes the illustration of phase portraits with equilibrium points. We also investigate the chaotic behavior of the planer dynamical system by introducing an additional external force. We predict the system’s behavior to increase the value of intensity and frequency. Our analysis reveals periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic processes.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study explores the age-prevalence of teacher-rated aggressive acts among 1-to-5-year-old children (N = 919, 49.8% girls) enrolled in 20 Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) centers. Perpetration of physical-, verbal-, relational-, and object-related aggressive acts towards peers was examined as well as victimization by using the same four types of acts. In the literature, such acts have been studied both using the concepts of aggression and bullying. The prevalence of all forms of aggressive acts was higher among the 2-year-olds than the 1-year-olds. In the second year of life, more than 50% of the children used physical aggression at least 2–3 times a month. In children aged 3 years and older, the age-prevalence of physical aggressive acts declined, whereas verbal and relational acts increased or stabilized. Destroying belongings of peers occurred at low rates in Norwegian ECEC centers. The age-prevalence curves and absolute percentage levels for victimization and perpetration were similar. Our results suggest a general picture of similarities between girls and boys rather than differences. Among the 1- and 2-year-olds, there were no significant gender differences in any of the four aggression types for perpetration and victimization. The prevalence rates for girls and boys in relational perpetration and victimization were similar across all age categories. A significant gender difference in the prevalence of physical aggression appeared in the 3-year-olds. More consensus in definitions and measurements is called for including more research on the relation between general aggression and bullying behavior.

Abstract
The current study aimed to design and test a prototype of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) using thermoelectric modules (TEM) operating near room temperature. The thermoelectric cooler utilized in this investigation has a maximum cooling power of 46 W and dimensions of 40 mm × 40 mm × 3.6 mm. After a series of measurements, the device temperature decreased from an ambient temperature of 19.6 °C to 1.6 °C, with a notable coefficient of performance around 0.9, achieved through the utilization of both serial and parallel connections. The secondary objective of this research was based on an artificial neural network (ANN) approach. An ANN model was constructed using an experimental database acquired from our thermoelectric refrigeration device. The input parameters of humidity, time, performance coefficient, cooling power, and heat dissipation were introduced into the model to enhance the cold temperature as the output. Using a multilayer perceptron (MLP), the experimental dataset was used for training, testing, and validating the ANN. The precision of the model was evaluated using three established statistical metrics: mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and R-squared (R
2).
Differences in starch digestive properties of cooked rice between four older and four current varieties

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The replacement of rice varieties has been occurred in China over the past decades, with improving palatability serving as one of the main driving factors. Nevertheless, limited research exists on how this replacement has influenced the starch digestion properties of cooked rice, which play a critical role in determining the glycemic index, a key indicator of foods linked to the risk of non-communicable diseases. This study was conducted to determine the differences in starch digestive properties of cooked rice among four older and four current varieties, while also identifying the primary factors contributing to these differences. The results showed that the current varieties exhibited a 54% shorter active digestion duration and a 109% faster glucose production rate during starch digestion compared to the older varieties. These differences arose unintentionally from breeders’ efforts to meet consumer preferences for rice with a softer texture and were associated with decreased amylose content, increased amylopectin content, a lower amylose-to-amylopectin ratio, and increased breakdown viscosity in the current varieties than the older ones. This study highlights the necessity for increased awareness of the potential health risks linked to the accelerated starch digestion rate resulting from the development of softer-textured varieties in China.
Positions of Power: Situational Flexibility in Mimbres Society
Authors: Baustian Kathryn M. , Roth Barbara J. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Social power establishes and legitimizes actions for individuals within a society who accept the structures that create that power. Differences in power can develop without strict hierarchies, however. Here, we explore the power differences among groups living in the Mimbres Mogollon region of southwestern New Mexico using bioarchaeological data and a case study from the Harris site, a Late Pithouse period village occupied circa AD 550–1000. Aspects of mortuary practices and supporting archaeological data offer nuanced interpretations of individuals with situational power linked to social practices that both solidified and maintained power by particular households. The power differences documented here are not based on coercion; instead, they are tied to cooperation and engagement with the community. For small-scale communities such as Harris, situational power is interpreted for individuals with access to prime agricultural land and/or ritual, or by association with certain land-holding lineages. This system is consistent with a heterarchical structure that embraced flexibility in the use of power.

Abstract
The consent process for research studies can be burdensome for potential participants due to complex information and lengthy consent forms. This pragmatic study aimed to improve the consent experience and evaluate its impact on participant decision making, study knowledge, and satisfaction with the In Our DNA SC program, a population-based genomic screening initiative. We compared two consent procedures: standard consent (SC) involving a PDF document and enhanced consent (EC) incorporating a pictograph and true or false questions. Decision-making control, study knowledge, satisfaction, and time to consent were assessed. We analyzed data for 109 individuals who completed the SC and 96 who completed the EC. Results indicated strong decision-making control and high levels of knowledge and satisfaction in both groups. While no significant differences were found between the two groups, the EC experience took longer for participants to complete. Future modifications include incorporating video modules and launching a Spanish version of the consent experience. Overall, this study contributes to the growing literature on consent improvements and highlights the need to assess salient components and explore participant preferences for receiving consent information.
When to stop social learning from a predecessor in an information-foraging task
Authors: Suganuma Hidezo , Naito Aoi , Katahira Kentaro , Kameda Tatsuya 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Striking a balance between individual and social learning is one of the key capabilities that support adaptation under uncertainty. Although intergenerational transmission of information is ubiquitous, little is known about when and how newcomers switch from learning loyally from preceding models to exploring independently. Using a behavioural experiment, we investigated how social information available from a preceding demonstrator affects the timing of becoming independent and individual performance thereafter. Participants worked on a 30-armed bandit task for 100 trials. For the first 15 trials, participants simply observed the choices of a demonstrator who had accumulated more knowledge about the environment and passively received rewards from the demonstrator's choices. Thereafter, participants could switch to making independent choices at any time. We had three conditions differing in the social information available from the demonstrator: choice only, reward only or both. Results showed that both participants’ strategies about when to stop observational learning and their behavioural patterns after independence depended on the available social information. Participants generally failed to make the best use of previously observed social information in their subsequent independent choices, suggesting the importance of direct communication beyond passive observation for better intergenerational transmission under uncertainty. Implications for cultural evolution are discussed.
Apocalyptic Imagination and Civic Practices of Orthodox Fundamentalists in Contemporary Russia
Authors: Mitrofanova Anastasia 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Fundamentalists in the Russian Orthodox Church see contemporary state institutions as sources of threat because of their fragility and unreliability. Thus, in response, they engage in ritual and political actions aimed at restoring the spiritual unity of the Russian people (sobornost) that would allow the monarchy to be restored and resume the God-given mission of the Russian Orthodox Church to delaying the apocalypse. In this article, the author reveals the ways the concept of an averted or delayed apocalypse shapes fundamentalists’ approaches to institution and network building as alternatives to existing public institutions, which they consider incapable in the face of the approaching End Time. The author distinguishes between anti-systemic fundamentalists (those unwilling to have anything in common with the existing sociopolitical system) and symbiotic fundamentalists (those involved in provisional cooperation with state agencies). Anti-systemic fundamentalists insist on Russians’ verbal repentance for the sin of abandoning their mission of averting the Apocalypse; sometimes they live in walled communities. Symbiotic fundamentalists are building networks or communities that do not necessarily imply living together. Using these communities as a tool, symbiotic fundamentalists hope to rebuild the spiritual unity of the Russians. They envision their activities as repentance by works that in the future would allow the Orthodox monarchy to be restored and to resume the God-given mission of the church.
Migrations, citizenship and administrative borders: the Italian case
Authors: Bargel Lucie , Caprioglio Carlo , Gargiulo Enrico , Trucco Daniela 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This contribution summarises the scientific discussions that developed during a one-year cycle of international and interdisciplinary seminars focusing on the relationship between migration and citizenship in Italy. We considered human mobilities in their relation to the politico-administrative institutions of the state and observed the latter's attempt to define and govern them. The relative marginality of the Italian case in the literature about state building, nation building and citizenship is an opportunity to examine these processes with fresh eyes. The first section is a critical analysis of the policies regulating access to Italian citizenship. The second examines the entanglement between external and internal migrations and how they are governed, considering various administrative borders and statuses such as Italian municipal residency. The third section addresses the role of different field actors (from street-level bureaucrats to legal practitioners and activists) in shaping or negotiating the borders of citizenship while implementing the law.
LOCAL COHOMOLOGY UNDER SMALL PERTURBATIONS
Authors: DUARTE LUÍS 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Let

$(R,\mathfrak {m})$

be a Noetherian local ring and I an ideal of R. We study how local cohomology modules with support in

$\mathfrak {m}$

change for small perturbations J of I, that is, for ideals J such that

$I\equiv J\bmod \mathfrak {m}^N$

for large N, under the hypothesis that

$R/I$

and

$R/J$

share the same Hilbert function. As one of our main results, we show that if

$R/I$

is generalized Cohen–Macaulay, then the local cohomology modules of

$R/J$

are isomorphic to the corresponding local cohomology modules of

$R/I$

, except possibly the top one. In particular, this answers a question raised by Quy and V. D. Trung. Our approach also allows us to prove that if

$R/I$

is Buchsbaum, then so is

$R/J$

. Finally, under some additional assumptions, we show that if

$R/I$

satisfies Serre’s property

$(S_n)$

, then so does

$R/J$

.
FORMAL LIFTING OF DUALIZING COMPLEXES AND CONSEQUENCES
Authors: LYU SHIJI 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We show that for a Noetherian ring A that is I-adically complete for an ideal I, if

$A/I$

admits a dualizing complex, so does A. This gives an alternative proof of the fact that a Noetherian complete local ring admits a dualizing complex. We discuss several consequences of this result. We also consider a generalization of the notion of dualizing complexes to infinite-dimensional rings and prove the results in this generality. In addition, we give an alternative proof of the fact that every excellent Henselian local ring admits a dualizing complex, using ultrapower.
DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS ON SOME ELLIPTIC MODULAR SURFACES VIA OPERATORS ON LINE ARRANGEMENTS

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper further studies the matroid realization space of a specific deformation of the regular n-gon with its lines of symmetry. Recently, we obtained that these particular realization spaces are birational to the elliptic modular surfaces

$\Xi _{1}(n)$

over the modular curve

$X_1(n)$

. Here, we focus on the peculiar cases when

$n=7,8$

in more detail. We obtain concrete quartic surfaces in

$\mathbb {P}^3$

equipped with a dominant rational self-map stemming from an operator on line arrangements, which yields K3 surfaces with a dynamical system that is semi-conjugated to the plane.
Advantages and limitations of diagnostic procedures for zoonotic helminth infections in feces

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Helminthiasis is a common infection in both humans and other animal populations and negatively affects the health of the host, causing a range of morbidity and even mortality, especially in young people and those with weakened immune systems. A variety of diagnostic procedures with a number of modifications are available to identify the sources of infection and to assess the epidemiological situation, the effectiveness of parasite control programs, anthelmintic treatment, and the prevention of drug resistance. These can be simple and cheap methods – for example, stool smear examination – or modern highly sensitive methods – for example, PCR analysis. This review attempts to summarize the advantages and limitations of each of these frequently used methods.
Are Indigenous conceptions of sovereignty as non-interference patriarchal?
Authors: Kuokkanen Rauna , Lightfoot Sheryl , Starblanket Gina , Wildcat Matthew 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In the field of International Relations, sovereignty refers to a state’s authority to govern itself without external interference, closely tied to the principle of non-intervention. Recent scholarship has illuminated sovereignty as socially constructed and dynamic, yet non-interference remains central to its conception. Catherine MacKinnon’s feminist critique exposes the patriarchal implications of fetishising non-interference, silencing marginalised voices, and perpetuating gendered power imbalances. This Forum examines whether Indigenous conceptions of sovereignty that prioritise non-interference are shaped by patriarchal ideologies, particularly through the emphasis on relationality – rooted in kinship – and the central role of consent in Indigenous understandings and practices of sovereignty. By examining the intersection of non-interference with systems of oppression, this paper contributes to a nuanced understanding of Indigenous sovereignty, self-determination, and gendered relations. It concludes with a discussion of the relationship between consent, non-interference, and non-domination.
Fixed-plot monitoring as a tool to assess population trends of underground nesting seabirds: an example with Cory’s Shearwater at its world’s largest colony

Published: January 2025

Summary
Medium to small petrels that mostly nest in burrows or crevices represent a large fraction of the world’s seabirds, yet their population trends are largely unknown. This lack of knowledge, which has implications for conservation planning, results mostly from methodological difficulties and from the approaches that have been used for their monitoring. Here, we present the surveying scheme created to monitor Cory’s Shearwater Calonectris borealis breeding numbers at their largest known colony, Selvagem Grande (Portugal). We defined 60 circular plots at fixed locations on this 2.45 km2 island and counted nests with eggs annually at the end of laying. Results show that the population increased at 1.45% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.72–2.01%) per year between 2009 and 2023. We estimate that the current population size is 38,830 pairs (95% quantile CIs = 34,373–43,713). To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first systematic information (using fully repeatable methods and providing CIs for the estimates) on population trends of Cory’s Shearwaters, one of the most abundant seabirds in the warm temperate and subtropical North Atlantic and one of the most studied petrels globally. Monitoring using the approach detailed here requires two days of work (by 2–3 persons) per year. Our results and simulations indicate that this is a powerful methodology, with narrow confidence limits for estimated trends and an ability to detect small population changes over short time spans. We suggest that more monitoring protocols similar to this one (with necessary site-specific adaptations, particularly for potential colony expansion where suitable habitat exists) should be developed and implemented in a range of colonies with crevice and burrowing nesting petrels to improve our knowledge on the population status of a broad fraction of the world’s seabirds.
