description: The advent of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) represents a compelling response to the International Mobile Telecommunications 2030 (IMT-2030) framework, enabling the delivery of advanced, seamless connectivity that supports reliable, sustainable, and resilient communication systems. Nevertheless, the integration of NTN with Terrestrial Networks (TN) necessitates considerable alterations to the existing cellular infrastructure in order to address the challenges intrinsic to NTN implementation. Additionally, Ambient Backscatter Communication (AmBC), which utilizes ambient Radio Frequency (RF) signals to transmit data to the intended recipient by altering and reflecting these signals, exhibits considerable potential for the effective integration of NTN and TN. Furthermore, AmBC is constrained by its limitations regarding power, interference, and other related factors. In contrast, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within wireless networks demonstrates significant potential for predictive analytics through the use of extensive datasets. AI techniques enable the real-time optimization of network parameters, mitigating interference and power limitations in AmBC. These predictive models also enhance the adaptive integration of NTN and TN, driving significant improvements in network reliability and Energy Efficiency (EE). In this paper, we present a comprehensive examination of how the commixture of AI, AmBC, and NTN can facilitate the integration of NTN and TN. We also provide a thorough analysis indicating a marked enhancement in EE predicated on this triadic relationship.

description: On-demand fishing technology (also known as ropeless, buoyless, or pop-up gear) is one of the most promising tools for the fixed gear fishing industry to reduce entanglements with marine species. To reduce the level of serious injury and mortality to large whales, including critically endangered North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis), areas seasonally closed to traditional fixed gear have been introduced within fishing grounds. The use of on-demand fishing gear allows fixed gear fishermen to access these time-area closures. On-demand fishing technology removes the need for persistent surface buoys and vertical lines attached to pots or traps on the seafloor.

Subjects: subject: AGROVOC: Participatory approaches

description: Since July 2019, the National Commission for Rural Development, the Agroecology Network, and the National Network of Native and Creole Seed are implementing "Articulating Biodiversity in Family Farming Production project." The project brings together different stakeholders and institutions, including thousands of family farmers in Uruguay. The project objective is to facilitate farmers' access to plant genetic resources to address climate change variability in collaboration with the Collective Centers for the Protection of Agrobiodiversity (CCRA), INIA's Germplasm Bank (BG), and the Faculty of Agronomy (UDELAR), which provide genetic materials of diverse origins and receive native and creole varieties provided by farmers. These materials are evaluated and multiplied on family farms and are disseminated to family farming communities.  Sharing and exchange of information are facilitated through meetings and training workshops. Among the main results, cooperation between and among the local producers' organizations, research institutions, and state bodies to establish evaluation and multiplication plots for fodder crops, deciduous fruit crops, horticultural and cereal crops. The main lesson learned highlights the importance of cooperation between and among the institutions, local producers/family farming communities, and other actors involved as a fundamental element for the implementation and realization of the rights of farmers and peasants.

description: Cotacachi is a high Andean area considered as an important center of agrobiodiversity. In addition, it is an area with wide cultural and ethnic diversity. The inhabitants of indigenous communities have as their main economic activity peasant family agriculture, which is led by women,  and this is the source of food and economic income for the family. Since 2001, the Union of Peasant and Indigenous Organizations of Cotacachi, Ecuador in collaboration with the Community Organization of Andean Women of Cotacachi have carried out the following objectives: promote a diversified agricultural production in accordance with the ecological, social and cultural conditions of the indigenous peasant communities; restitution of seeds at risk and with important characteristics for production; guarantee, as a priority, the production of food for the families' own consumption; generate complementary economic income for families, especially women; conserve native agrobiodiversity; preserve traditional knowledge; and train in agroecological management of farms, through the exchange of knowledge from farmer to farmer. Key components include: the promotion of peasant farms involves agriculture, livestock, water management, production of bio-inputs, agroforestry practices, training and knowledge exchange. This project has led to more peasant communities practicing diverse farming system, and an increase in family income by 20 percent.

description: The growth in the populations of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) has slowed in recent years. Research into why this has happened typically focus on human psychological, financial, or lifestyle factors. However, these fail to address technological actants. This thesis uses a novel application of Actor Network Theory to trace the MMORPG play of sixteen participants uncovering important non-human, technological actants that have been underserved by previous research. These findings alter the current understanding of the MMORPG player as a techno-social construct.

title: Court ruling confirming the implementation of the Constitutional measure as contained in Article 401 of the Ecuadorian Constitution, a legal measure that protects and enforces farmers’ rights to seeds and crops that are GM-free
Creators: name: ITPGRFA Secretariat
Publisher: name: ITPGRFA
Year: 2025

description: Article 401 of Ecuador’s 2008 Constitution declares the country free of transgenic crops and seeds. It prohibits the cultivation of Genetically Modified (GM) crops and protects farmers’ rights to access GM-free seeds and crops, and ensures that their farmer seeds and seed systems are not contaminated.
In 2018, the presence of transgenic soybean crops was verified in several farms in Los Rios province by non-governmental and peasant organizations. Two campesino organizations (Centro Agrícola de Quevedo and Federación de Centros Agrícolas del Litoral) in collaboration with the Ombudsman's Office and Acción Ecológica as a witness, filed an action for protection against the presence of GM crops. On 18 January 2019, the criminal judicial unit based in Quevedo canton issued a judgment order for the Los Rios province to remain a territory free of transgenic crops and seeds.
In June 2017, Ecuador’s National Assembly approved the "Organic Law on Biodiversity, Seeds, and Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture." However, Article 56 of the Organic Law sidestepped the provisions of Article 401 and that it permitted GM cultivation for research purposes. As a result, several social movements appealed to the Constitutional Court, citing the unconstitutionality of the Organic law.
In January 2022, the Constitutional Court of Ecuador declared Article 56 of the Law on Seed, Agrobiodiversity, and Sustainable Agriculture unconstitutional through Judgment No. 22-17-IN.
title: Coxiella burnetii shedding during the postpartum period and the impact on reproductive disease burden: A cross-sectional investigation in a single Scottish dairy herd
Creators: name: Weller, Griffin McCleod
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Coxiella burnetii is a poorly understood pathogen with a wide geographical distribution across a plethora of host species. Impact on cattle reproductive health and herd fertility has been indicated internationally, but detailed investigations of the prevalence and impact on production in the UK are scarce. The gap in knowledge of the clinical impact C. burnetii infections has on dairy cattle is quite large with varied clinical impacts across herds, so a study elucidating the behaviour and effects of C. burnetii in British herds is required. The objectives of this study were to determine the within-herd prevalence of C. burnetii on a commercial dairy farm and assess the relationships between pathogen shedding and key performance indicators (KPI) and reproductive health. A 900-cow dairy farm in Scotland was recruited in this study following positive screening for C. burnetii by PCR and ELISA. Vaginal swabs were collected from postpartum cows during checks performed within seven days of parturition. DNA extracts were tested by qPCR for C. burnetii using an IS1111 assay. The estimated log(n genomes per reaction) was calculated for all samples. Mixed effect Gaussian generalized linear models with identity link function were used to identify variables associated with higher (or lower) concentrations of bacterial DNA. The relationships between cow production and clinical data and this outcome were assessed in uni- and multivariable models. A total of 324 swabs were collected between December 2022 and July 2023, of which 310 (95.7%) had detectable C. burnetii with Ct ≤ 40. Cows shedding higher loads of bacterial DNA were more likely to be primiparous and to have experienced one or more negative gestational/obstetric outcomes including abortion, stillbirth, premature delivery, prolonged gestation and/or dystocia. Bacterial load did not correlate significantly with the days postpartum on which individuals were sampled. These findings indicate C. burnetii infections have negative impact on the health status and fertility of herd members in the sample population. Further investigation should take place to assess ongoing herd-wide effects of C. burnetii infections to better inform possible treatment and prevention strategies.

description: Das Working Paper argumentiert, dass sich die Unterscheidung zwischen Mikro-, Meso- und Makroebene auf gewinnbringende Weise praxistheoretisch konzeptualisieren lässt. Wir schlagen vor, die Ebenen nicht als Skalen – lokal vs. global, klein vs. groß –, sondern als Heuristik zu verstehen, mit der sich unterschiedliche Dimensionen der Verknüpfung von Praktiken identifizieren und untersuchen lassen. Die Mikroebene steht dann für einzelne Praktiken, die Mesoebene für deren Verknüpfung zu „Praxisformationen“ und die Makroebene für die Verknüpfung von Praxisformationen oder die Gesamtheit aller verknüpften Praktiken und Praxisformationen. Der Schwerpunkt des Working Papers liegt auf der Mesoebene. Zunächst definieren wir den Begriff der Praxisformation. Anschließend zeigen wir, wie etablierte soziologische Konzepte – Institutionen, communities of practice, Organisationen und Felder – verwendet werden können, um verschiedene Ausprägungen von Praxisformationen zu fassen. Danach veranschaulichen wir diese Vorschläge mit Beispielen aus unserer Forschung zu Machtvergleichen und Rankings. Abschließend skizzieren wir ein mögliches Arbeitsprogramm für die Anwendung der Heuristik in der interdisziplinären Vergleichsforschung.
description: The working paper argues that the distinction between micro, meso and macro levels can be productively conceptualized in practice theoretical terms. We propose to treat the levels not as scales – local vs. global, small vs. large – but as heuristic devices to analyze different dimensions of linkages between practices. The micro level then denotes individual practices, the meso level their linkages to “practice formations” and the macro level linkages of practice formations or the entirety of all linked practices. The working paper focuses on the meso level. We show how well-established sociological concepts – institutions, communities of practice, organizations, fields – can be used to distinguish and investigate various manifestations of practice formations. We then illustrate the merits of our approach with examples from our research on power comparisons and rankings. We close by pointing out how our approach could be used to guide interdisciplinary research on practices of comparing.

description: Networked cyborgs that exist within the non-hierarchical rhizomatic network of the Internet risk losing the concept of their individuality as our identity becomes less important than the group. However, if the rhizomatic network is thought of as a hegemony that exists on the Internet, we can resist this through the residual notion of individual identity. Since cyborgs must perform in order to exist on the rhizomatic network, they can become aware of and perform their individuality through awareness of the computer medium. There are three methods for networked cyborgs to assert their individuality discussed in this thesis.

The first is to use the skin of the screen name or avatar as a metaphor for a body. Unlike skins created as templates for websites, the skins of networked cyborgs are a temporal symbiosis of memes, or data performances. These data, which consist of textual, pictorial, and video pastiches, form individual identities of networked cyborg on the Internet that are metaphorically cyborg bodies. By creating or reposting the data, constrained by the skin, the networked cyborg creates an individual identity.

The second method is to find new means of expression through online body language. The body language of the cyborg under the scrutiny of the biological panopticon (the cyborg's audience who is aware of his biological identity) consists of prescribed emotes. Emotes are cookie-cutter expressions that do not promote the notion of individuality, but mass rhizomatic communication. However, through both the repurposing of emotes and by manipulating data through the Lecoq's technique of the "neutral mask" of the anonymous avatar, cyborgs find individual means of expression online.

The third method is by subverting the discourse of the websites that networked cyborgs perform on which often suggests the cyborg must perform traditionally in ways that can restrict how the cyborg presents him or herself as an individual. However, by subverting these identities and acting outside of traditional norms, the cyborg can perform on these websites as individuals.

People who are aware of these methods and act as networked cyborgs online can resist the notion of the rhizomatic hegemony with the residual idea of individuality.

description: The seeds of the farmers in the indigenous communities of Cotacachi have been passed on from many generations. The initiative to promote seed fairs was started in 2003, and has been implemented by the Union of Indigenous Peasant Organizations of Cotacachi, Ecuador, the Community Organization of Andean Women of Cotacachi and the National Institute of Agricultural Research. The objectives include to: facilitate access to native seeds through farmer-to-farmer exchange; facilitate the exchange of traditional knowledge on conservation and use of native varieties among farmers; contribute to improving knowledge on the diversity and variability of farm seeds, among others.  The initiative has the following key components: exhibition and exchange of native seed diversity; exhibition of the gastronomic food heritage of indigenous communities and assessment of the state of conservation of agrobiodiversity. The seed fair - Muyu Raymi (seed festival) has been held for 18 consecutive years.  Other key outcomes include: 80 % of the participants are women in addition to having high participation of farmers from the canton’s rural communities and other areas of the country The seed fair is a mechanism for influence local public policies for the conservation and promotion of agrobiodiversity and traditional knowledge. The fair is also a space to give incentives to farmers in recognition of their important contribution to the conservation of traditional agroecosystems.

description: Microbial communities are composed of functionally integrated taxa, and identifying which taxa contribute to a given ecosystem function is essential for predicting community behaviors. This study compares the effectiveness of a previously proposed method for identifying ``functional taxa,'' Ensemble Quotient Optimization (EQO), to a potentially simpler approach based on the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO). In contrast to LASSO, EQO uses a binary prior on coefficients, assuming uniform contribution strength across taxa. Using synthetic datasets with increasingly realistic structure, we demonstrate that EQO's strong prior enables it to perform better in low-data regime. However, LASSO's flexibility and efficiency can make it preferable as data complexity increases. Our results detail the favorable conditions for EQO and emphasize LASSO as a viable alternative.

description: Chips form the heart of computers and electronic devices, much like how innovative thinking and independent practical skills are the "core" of college students' talent and development. Fostering exceptional innovative talent within universities places a distinct emphasis on nurturing this essential "core." The effective cultivation of innovative thought and independent practical skills during a student's university years is akin to sowing seeds with far-reaching implications for their future careers. The impact of these cultivated abilities unfolds and thrives throughout their professional journey. In essence, the crux of cultivating outstanding innovative talent in universities centers on the creation of these invaluable "cores," while career planning education endeavors to bring forth the budding potential within each student. This duality serves as both the objective and intrinsic value of nurturing outstanding innovative talent and career education within university settings.

description: We developed a rapid-test to screen for effects of biochar on seed germination and soils. Crop seeds were placed in containers and covered with 15 g of soil with 1% biochar by weight. Two agricultural soils from South Carolina USA were used. Eighteen biochars were produced from six primary feedstocks [pine chips (PC), poultry litter (PL), swine solids (SS), switchgrass (SG); and two blends of PC and PL, 50% PC/50% PL (55), and 80% PC/20% PL (82)]. Each feedstock was pyrolyzed at 350, 500 and 700°C. There were few biochar effects on seed germination. Shoot dry weight was increased for carrot, cucumber, lettuce, oat, and tomato; primarily with biochars containing PL. Soil pH, electrical conductivity and extractable phosphorus primarily increased with PL, SS, 55, and 82 treatments for both soil types and across species. This method can be an early indicator of biochar effects on seed germination and soil health.

description: ABMSIM, an agent-based model, is extended and applied to model short- and long-distance manure transports induced by the revised German Fertilization Ordinance (FO). It quantifies impacts on manure transports (max. 150 km), regional nutrient balances, and farm types, covering the farm population (~34,000 farms) of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (~35,000 km2). The large study area is realized by using an estimated meta-model based on simulation results with the detailed bio-economic farm model FarmDyn. Results indicate that manure exports increase due to FO measures related to P2O5 surpluses in pig farms, whereas increased transport distance is found in dairy and pig farms due to competition in the manure market. The study underlines that ABM applications for larger populations and landscapes are possible by reducing the computational load through meta-models. Future research can address improved meta-models based on econometric estimation or machine learning as well as feedback between manure market and its participants.

description: DINCH (cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid-diisononyl ester) is a phthalate plasticizer substitute introduced into the market in 2002. It is increasingly used especially in the production of toys, food contact materials and medical devices. In this measurement campaign on 24-h urine samples of young adults (20-29 years) from the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) collected in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017 (in total 300 samples, 60 samples/year) we analyzed three specific, oxidized DINCH metabolites (OH-MINCH: cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid-mono(hydroxy-isononyl) ester; cx-MINCH: cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid-mono(carboxy-isooctyl) ester, oxo-MINCH: cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid-mono(oxo-isononyl) ester). We merged these data with earlier data of the ESB from the years 1999-2012 and are now able to report levels and time trends of internal DINCH exposure from 1999 to 2017. After first detections of the major oxidized DINCH metabolite OH-MINCH in 2006 (6.7%) detection rates rapidly increased to 43.3% in 2009, 80% in 2010 and 98.3% in 2011 and 2012. From the year 2013 on we could detect OH-MINCH in every urine sample analyzed. The median concentrations of OH-MINCH rapidly increased from 0.15 (Mü)g/L in 2010 to twice the concentration in 2011 (0.31 (Mü)g/L) with further increases in 2013 (0.37 (Mü)g/L), 2015 (0.59 (Mü)g/L) and 2017 (0.70 (Mü)g/L). Similar increases, albeit at lower detection rates and concentration levels, could be observed for cx-MINCH and oxo-MINCH. All metabolites strongly correlate with each other. For the ESB study population, DINCH exposures are still far below health based guidance values such as the German Human Biomonitoring Value (HBM-I; 4,500 (Mü)g/L for the sum of OH-MINCH and cx-MINCH) or the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of EFSA (1mg/kg/bw/d). The median daily DINCH intake (DI) calculated for 2017 was 0.23 (Mü)g/kg bw/d, thus 4,310-times lower than the TDI. The maximum DI calculated for one individual in 2012 (42.60 (Mü)g/kg bw/d) was a factor of more than 20 below the TDI. The ongoing increase in DINCH exposure needs to be closely monitored in the future, including populations with potentially higher exposures such as children. This close monitoring will enable timely exposure and risk reduction measures if exposures reached critical levels, or if new toxicological data lead to lower health based guidance values. DINCH belongs to the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) priority substances for which policy relevant questions still have to be answered. © 2019 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

description: Настоящая статья написана в память о профессоре Борисе Львовиче Вульфсоне, большом ученом, сооснователе российской научной школы сравнительной педагогики, столетие со дня рождения которого отмечается педагогическим сообществом России в этом году. Цель работы состоит в сопоставлении научных текстов Б. Л. Вульфсона с ключевыми концепциями западноевропейской педагогической компаративистики и поиске реминисценций, отсылающих к ретроспективе данного научного направления. В качестве основного исследовательского метода был избран интертекстуальный анализ, основанный на идеях М. М. Бахтина о диалогичности гуманитарного знания и концепции Р. Барта, раскрывающей созависимость, взаимопроникновение авторских текстов в пределах временного континуума. Исследование базируется на широком спектре источников, включающем работы профессора Б. Л. Вульфсона, а также европейских философов, историков и компаративистов. Сопоставительный анализ текстов позволяет сделать вывод о том, что научное наследие российского исследователя является неотъемлемой частью непрерывного диалога педагогических культур, отражающего гуманистическую перспективу сравнительных исследований в области образования, которая, согласно М. М. Бахтину, определяет человека не как безгласную вещь, а как субъекта, познание которого может быть только диалогическим. Это эссе, по сути, явля ется продолжением диалога с Б. Л. Вульфсоном, который убеждает нас в том, что в пределах большого времени «у каждого смысла будет свой праздник возрождения».

description: Наличие методологической культуры является необходимым условием выполнения качественного педагогического исследования. Умение работать с основными понятиями по теме исследования выступает частью методологической культуры. В условиях интернационализации образования эта работа должна быть дополнена сравнительным анализом ключевого понятия, используемого учеными в отечественной педагогике с похожими понятиями, используемыми зарубежными коллегами, что может способствовать поиску путей взаимопонимания и сотрудничества. Цель статьи: выявить функции сравнительного анализа похожих понятий, фиксирующих изучаемые исследователями явления в образовательных системах разных стран, что спосо бствует поиску путей взаимопонимания людей. Методы исследования: анализ и обобщение теоретических источников; наблюдение за исследовательской работой аспирантов; рефлексия собственного опыта, полученного в ходе научного руководства. Результаты исследования. Конкретные примеры свидетельствуют о том, что сравнительный анализ похожих понятий, используемых учеными в образовательных системах разных стран, может выполнять различные функции: 1) обоснование автором собственной исследовательской позиции, 2) обоснование выбора российской исследовательской традиции в выполнении задач научной работы, 3) описание педагогических традиций зарубежной системы образования и поиск условий их интеграции с российскими университетами. Эти функции подтверждают наличие методологической культуры у молодых ученых. Заключение. Обучение молодых исследователей умению осуществлять сравнительный анализ понятий, используемых учеными в образовательных системах разных стран, необходимо и может войти в состав новых требований к подготовке научно-педагогических кадров.

description: В последние десятилетия возрастает актуальность исследований в области сравнительной педагогики (сравнительного образования), что обусловлено процессами глобализации и различными международными рейтингами. Сравнительная педагогика представляет собой специфическую область научно-исследовательской деятельности, сопряженную с рядом исследовательских и методологических трудностей: выделение сопоставимых индикаторов и показателей, позволяющих выявить различия между исследуемыми системами, и относительно объективная интерпретация полученных данных, связанная с онтологическим разрывом между исследуемым объектом и самим исследователем («эффект ножниц»). Если данный разрыв является онтологическим, то возможно ли получить относительно достоверные данные в области сравнительных исследований? Целью статьи является характеристика возможностей качественных методов как инструмента верификации данных в сравнительной педагогике. В ходе структурного анализа были определены следующие возможности качественных методов применительно к сравнительной педагогике: выявление действительно значимых параметров; определение реальной ситуации в системе образования другой страны; получение «работающих» моделей; выявление фона, необходимого для определения взаимосвязей в системе; обнаружение точек сопряжения, в том числе для разработки общих сценариев развития; прогнозирование динамики и траекторий разви тия. Использование качественных методов позволяет исследователю уточнить культурный контекст исследуемых процессов или механизмов, расширить границы потенциальных результатов и повысить надежность получаемых данных.
