description: Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Mexico has seen fluctuating trends, with significant investments in key sectors such as automotive and general manufacturing. In 2022, Chinese FDI amounted to USD 570 million, while in 2023, it decreased to USD 159 million, accounting for 1.58% and 0.45% of the total FDI in Mexico for those years, respectively. Key states receiving these investments include Nuevo León, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Jalisco, Yucatán, and Ciudad de México.Chinese FDI is primarily focused on basic manufacturing sectors, but a shift towards high-tech manufacturing is anticipated, driven by the global demand for advanced technologies. New Chinese investments are mainly greenfield projects, which are crucial for economic growth as they create new infrastructure and job opportunities.However, these investments face several risks, including potential policy changes in Mexico, infrastructure limitations in less developed regions, and geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and China. Increased tariffs or stricter regulations on Chinese goods entering the U.S. could significantly impact the profitability of Chinese investments in Mexico.

description: Gastrointestinal diseases have a huge impact especially in third world countries, making it urgent to seek new effective antimicrobial therapies. Thus, the study of new antimicrobial solutions has been the target of research over the past years. The development of nanoparticles (NPs) with natural bioactive compounds exhibiting antimicrobial activity may be promising to overcome the problems associated with antibiotic resistance caused by many pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the phenolic compounds are a class of bioactive compounds for which their antimicrobial activity was already tested on the production of NPs. Polymeric or lipidic NPs systems have been investigated to deliver these compounds. As example, chitosan is a polymer widely known for their properties, especially its unique antimicrobial activity and its ability to adhere to intestinal epithelium. In this presentation the discussion of the recent developments of new delivery systems for phenolic compounds with antimicrobial activity against gastrointestinal pathogens, their production processes, activities, focusing on NPs produced using chitosan as the main structural and functional material including case studies will be made.

description: Die Auswirkungen einer Fassadenbegrünung auf den Wärmeinseleffekt in Stuttgart wurde für eine Hitzeperiode numerisch simuliert und bewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigten positive Auswirkungen innerhalb des Simulationsgebiets sowie eine geringe Fernwirkung auf benachbarte Stadtquartiere. Diese Änderungen können zur Verbesserung des thermischen Komforts im Außenraum beitragen. Eine reduzierte Temperatur der Außenoberfläche führt darüber hinaus auch zu einer geringeren Oberflächentemperatur der Wandinnenseite, welche die Innenraumtemperatur beeinflusst. Folglich kann die thermische Behaglichkeit auch im Innenraum erhöht werden.

description: Kleine Kommunen im ländlichen Raum sind aufgrund ihrer oft eingeschränkten personellen und finanziellen Kapazitäten bisher eher sporadisch in den Themenfeldern Energieeffizienz und Erneuerbare Energien aktiv. Immer wieder stellt sich daher Frage, wie die Klimaschutzstrategien des Bundes und der Länder dort mit dem verfügbaren Personal kostengünstig realisierbar sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird ein Werkzeug entwickelt, mit dessen Hilfe der aktive Einstieg in diese Thematik mit geringen Aufwand und überwiegend barrierefrei möglich ist. Der Aufbau eines prozessorientierten Entwicklungs- und Moderationsmodells zur Erprobung und Umsetzung bezahlbarer Handlungsoptionen für Energieeinsparungen und effizienten Energieeinsatz im überwiegend ländlichen geprägten Raum ist der Schwerpunkt der Softwarelösung. Kommunen werden mit deren Hilfe in die Lage versetzt, in die notwendigen Prozesse der Energie- und Wärmewende einzusteigen. Dabei soll der modulare Aufbau die regulären Schritte notwendiger (integrierter) Planungsprozesse nicht vollständig ersetzen. Vielmehr können innerhalb der Online-Anwendung - überwiegend automatisiert - konkrete Maßnahmenvorschläge erstellt werden, die ein solides Fundament der künftigen energetischen Entwicklung der Kommunen darstellen. Für eine gezielte Validierung der Ergebnisse und der Ableitung potentieller Maßnahmen werden für die Erprobung Modellkommunen in Thüringen, Bayern und Hessen als Reallabore einbezogen. Das Tool steht bisher zunächst nur den beteiligten Modellkommunen zur Verfügung. Die entwickelte Softwarelösung soll künftig Schritt für Schritt allen interessierten Kommunen mit diversen Hilfsmitteln und einer Vielzahl anderer praktischer Bestandteile zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

description: Bei Analysen des Gebäudebestands im Quartierskontext werden zu Dokumentationszwecken viele Bilddaten erzeugt. Diese Daten sind im Nachhinein häufig keinen eindeutig genauen Standorten und Blickwinkeln auf das Bauwerk zuzuordnen. Insbesondere gilt dies für Ortsunkundige oder für Detailaufnahmen. Eine zusätzliche Herausforderung stellt die Aufnahme von Wärmebrücken- oder andersartigen Gebäudedetails durch Thermogramme dar. In der Praxis kommen hier oftmals analoge, fehleranfällige Lösungen zum Einsatz. Durch die Nutzung von Georeferenzierung kann diese Lücke geschlossen und eine eindeutige Kommunikation und Auswertung gewährleistet werden. Im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Kameras sind Smartphones nach Stand der Technik ausreichend ausgestattet, um neben Daten zu Standort auch die Orientierungswinkel einer Bildaufnahme zu dokumentieren. Die georefenzierten Bilder können auf Grundlage der in den sogenannten Exif-Daten mitgeschriebenen Informationen händisch in ein bestehendes Quartiersmodell integriert werden. Anhand eines universitären Musterquartiers wird die nutzerfreundliche Realisierung beispielhaft erprobt und auf ihre Potentiale zur Automatisierung in Python untersucht. Hierfür wurde ein bestehendes Quartiersmodell als geometrische Grundlage genutzt und um RGB-Bilder sowie Thermogramme erweitert. Das beschriebene Vorgehen wird im Rahmen der Anwendung auf seinen möglichen Einsatz im Rahmen einer energetischen Quartierserfassung sowie einer Bauschadensdokumentation untersucht. Mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird dem Nutzenden ein Werkzeug bereitgestellt, das die hochwertige Dokumentation einer Bestandserfassung, auch im Quartierskontext, ermöglicht.

Subjects: subject: Polymeric coatings
subject: Phenol
subject: Polyurethanes
subject: Methylene chloride
subject: Spectroscopy

description: Polymeric coating materials have been used for decades to protect various substrates from degradation, such as corrosion, which can cause failure of important aspects in vehicles and buildings. The proper removal of polymeric coating materials is as important as their protection of underlying substrates since improper removal will damage the substrate. Methylene chloride and phenol based removers have been utilized for this purpose for over 50 years. During which time little understanding of the mechanism for the degradation of polymeric materials from these solvents has been developed. This work employed two military polyurethane coatings in three different formulations: full, partial and clear. Simplified formulations and control mixtures of solvents commonly used in methylene chloride and phenol removers were developed in order to deconvolute analysis of the complex polymeric material and the solvent systems. The polymeric coatings were exposed to the different solvents and solvent solutions. Analyses were conducted utilizing multiple techniques to determine the mechanism for the degradation of polymeric coatings. These analyses revealed that methylene chloride solvated and swelled the coating while phenol degraded the polymer by nucleophilic attack. It was also determined that the addition of water to the solution significantly increased degradation. The enhanced degradation arose from the water molecule abstracting the proton from phenol, which increased its nucleophilicity.

Subjects: subject: Arrest

description: Growing numbers of districts employ school resource officers to patrol school hallways, often with little or no training in working with youth (ALCU, 2009). As a result, children are far more likely to be subject to school-based arrests—the majority of which are for nonviolent offenses, such as disruptive behavior—than they were a generation ago (ALCU, 2009). Measures of delinquency are vast, and this paper uses a first arrest event as a proxy measure for delinquency in the age of reliance on School- Resource Officers rather than teacher and administrators for disciplinary purposes. The effects of first arrest on school performance, measured as GPA and graduation status are examined in this paper.

RECENT INVESTIGATIONS ON PHYTOCHEMICALS AND QUORUM SENSING/BIOFILMS
Creators: name: SIMOES, Manuel
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Biofilms are supposed to be the first form of communitarian life recorded on the planet, being estimated that most microorganisms on Earth are organized in sessile state and they even occur in extreme environments. This ubiquity of biofilms is potentially beneficial, but can also cause significant problems of public health, medicine and industry concern. In the health context, some diseases and adverse medical conditions are now recognized to be the result of a biofilm infection. In fact, the degree of severity and the persistence of infections is worsened when microorganisms form biofilm. Therefore, efforts are being applied to develop new drugs not so vulnerable as the current therapeutics to bacterial resistance mechanisms, and also able to target bacteria in biofilms. Natural products, especially those obtained from plants, have proven to be outstanding compounds with unique properties, making them perfect candidates for this much-needed therapeutics. This study presents current knowledge on the potentialities of plant products as biofilm control agents. Data will be provided on their mode of action focusing their activity to interfere with bacterial quorum sensing signaling pathways and underlying phenotypes.

Data-Driven Electrification Planning in Nigeria: Identifying High-Priority Regions Using Energy Access Explorer
Creators: name: Ageebee, Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Executive Summary

Nigeria faces persistent and widespread energy access challenges, with over 85 million citizens, approximately 43% of the population, lacking access to electricity. This energy poverty is particularly severe in rural and northern regions, where grid infrastructure is sparse and unreliable. To address this, the study uses the Energy Access Explorer (EAE), an open-source geospatial platform developed by the World Resources Institute, which integrates and visualizes multiple spatial datasets, including population density, nighttime light intensity, renewable energy potential (solar irradiance, wind speed, biomass availability), and socio-economic indicators like wealth distribution and access to social services. Using this data-driven approach, the model identifies areas with the greatest need and potential for energy intervention and guides the selection of electrification strategies tailored to local conditions: grid extension for dense and grid-adjacent settlements, solar off-grids for medium-density rural communities, and standalone solar home systems for remote, low-density areas. This geospatially informed methodology enables policymakers and planners to prioritize investments, enhance cost-effectiveness, and accelerate progress toward universal electricity access in Nigeria.

description: This thesis redefines a dialectical model that is appropriate for today's contemporary technological context, specifically based on the introduction of user-generated technologies. In the chapter titled "Dialectic Through History" I describe the history of dialectic up to and including its most recent use in the 1999 essay collection The Digital Dialectic: New Essays on New Media. The following chapter describes the shift from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, as illustrated through the transition from Web 1.0 technologies to Web 2.0, and then illustrates a dialectical model that is based on its historical foundational principles described in Chapter 2 combined with today's emerging technological, social, and economic contexts. The next chapter lists current day examples of today's dialectical oppositions between the social and economic principles founded in the Industrial Age versus those emerging during the Information Age. I then conclude by discussing the possibilities for the future of dialectic as related to Web 3.0.

The true cost of disease in hard cash terms is incalculable; Every country in the world loses incredible amount of money through disease losses in domestic livestock.

description: With volunteered geographic information (VGI) platforms such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) becoming increasingly popular, we are faced with the challenge of assessing the quality of their content, in order to better understand its place relative to the authoritative content of more traditional sources. Until now, studies have focused primarily on developed countries, showing that VGI content can match or even surpass the quality of authoritative sources, with very few studies in developing countries. In this paper, we compare the quality of authoritative (data from the Regional Center for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD)) and non-authoritative (data from OSM and Google’s Map Maker) road data in conjunction with population data in and around Nairobi, Kenya. Results show variability in coverage between all of these datasets. RCMRD provided the most complete, albeit less current, coverage when taking into account the entire study area, while OSM and Map Maker showed a degradation of coverage as one moves from central Nairobi towards rural areas. Furthermore, OSM had higher content density in large slums, surpassing the authoritative datasets at these locations, while Map Maker showed better coverage in rural housing areas. These results suggest a greater need for a more inclusive approach using VGI to supplement gaps in authoritative data in developing nations.

description: X-Ray CT machines have been powerful tools for complete 3D imaging and analysis of medical specimens and industrial artefacts, ranging from the scanning of steam location and aeroplane jet engines to parasitic bacteria. Technological advances have meant that the cost of these machines is now affordable to many institutions. But, despite the wide scope and increased availability, most machines are restricted to being used as “black-boxes”, with the user limited to only those routines provided by the

manufacturers.

One unique feature of the 320/225 kV Nikon XTEK bay is its ability to be “hacked”, namely programmed in a custom manner by the user. The Nikon Inspect-X software comes with a graphical user interface that

allows the user to perform 2D and 3D scans, inspections, along with many options such regions of interest, shading corrections, automatic reconstruction and batch processing. The Inspect-X software also

contains a module enabling the entire system to be controlled through Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The VBA editor is housed within the Inspect-X software, and is the same VBA editor found in

Microsoft Word, meaning that generic code can be developed away from the CT machine. Each aspect of the X-Ray source, manipulator and image processing pipeline can be accessed using individual functions,

allowing the user to build up a series of simple macros for performing certain tasks, e.g. switch x-rays on

and off, capture and save an image or rotate the manipulator by a set angle. These simple macros can

then be combined together in complex applications. The VBA programming capability of the 320/225 kV

Nikon XTEK bay demonstrates the nearly unlimited potential of lab-based X-Ray CT systems to resolve a

whole range of new complex scientific and industrial problems.

title: Development of Anxiety-Like Behavior in the Rat

Subjects: subject: Rodent
subject: Addiction
subject: Anxiety
subject: Elevated Plus Maze
subject: Adolescent
subject: Development

description: Age has been shown as one variable that influences anxiety-like behavior in both human and animal models. Adolescence is a time of major brain growth and development, which underscores the importance of investigating emotional development during this time period. While little research has examined behavioral development during adolescence in animal models, there are data suggesting that anxiety and susceptibility to drug effects are related. The present study investigates the effect of age on anxiety-like behavior in rats, specifically examining seven time periods throughout the course of adolescence into adulthood, with analysis on four separate age groups in early adolescence, midadolescence, late adolescence, and adulthood. The results indicated that anxiety-like behavior is a function of age, with early adolescent and adult animals exhibiting higher levels of anxiety than that of their mid-adolescent and late-adolescent counterparts. More specifically, animals in the p28-p32 age cohort, when compared with the p36-p40 and p44-p48 age cohort, exhibited increased anxiety levels in total distance traveled in the open-field apparatus, percentage of time spent on the open arms of the elevated plus maze, as well as the percentage of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze. The results of this study may have important implications for future studies due to the fact that the development of neurobiological systems and emotions continue throughout adolescence and into adulthood, and the development of these systems may help understand future drug use and addiction models.
title: Teachers Becoming Action-Researchers: Developing a Teacher-Training Module for Increasing Girls' Participation in Primary Schools

subject: Elementary Education and Teaching

description: A participatory action research project was launched in July 1996 and operationalised a year later in July 1997 in district RaeBareilly in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The guiding objective of the project is to strengthen the education of girls in India, by increasing their participation in primary education. This involves broadly an increase in enrollment, attendance, retention and achievement of girls in primary schools, i.e., classes 1 - 5. While there is a clear understanding and acceptance of the fact that there are several societal reasons for unequal participation of boys and girls in primary education, all over India and in Uttar Pradesh specifically, this project has chosen the school as its site of action, guided by previous research which highlights the fact that our classrooms are not very girl-friendly sites and are in some measure responsible for keeping girls out of school and failing to retain those who are enrolled for very long. This project attempts to work in participation with teachers to find ways of making our classrooms more attractive and empowering spaces for girls.
Information-Theoretic Analysis Of Entity Dynamics On The Linked Open Data Cloud
Creators: name: Nishioka, Chifumi

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: The Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud is expanding continuously. Entities appear, change, and disappear over time. However, relatively little is known about the dynamics of the entities, i. e., the characteristics of their temporal evolution. In this paper, we employ clustering techniques over the dynamics of entities to determine common temporal patterns. We define an entity as RDF resource together with its attached RDF types and properties. The quality of the clusterings is evaluated using entity features such as the entities’ properties, RDF types, and pay-level domain. In addition, we investigate to what extend entities that share a feature value change together over time. As dataset, we use weekly LOD snapshots over a period of more than three years provided by the Dynamic Linked Data Observatory. Insights into the dynamics of entities on the LOD cloud has strong practical implications to any application requiring fresh caches of LOD. The range of applications is from determining crawling strategies for LOD, caching SPARQL queries, to programming against LOD, and recommending vocabularies for reusing LOD vocabularies.

description: The article presents a research concept based on the studied literature and previously conducted experiments on the relationship between hormonal imbalances and the development of osteoporosis in laying hens, and also suggests options for solving the problem. The new pharmacological approaches outlined in the article will help stabilize the hormonal background of poultry, improve the digestibility of calcium and other important elements, and prevent the development of osteoporosis. Thus, the new concept of combating osteoporosis in egg poultry farming will significantly improve the health and productivity of laying hens, as well as reduce economic losses associated with diseases of the musculoskeletal system in poultry.
