Visualization analysis of research hotspots and frontiers on factors influencing urban green innovation—Based on CiteSpace knowledge map

With the increasing call for sustainable development, cities’ demand for green innovation has also been growing. However, relatively little research summarizes the influencing factors of urban green innovation. In this study, we conducted a visual analysis of 1193 research articles on green innovation in cities from the Web of Science core database using bibliometrics and visualization analysis. By analyzing co-occurrence, co-citation, and high-frequency keywords in the literature, we explored the current research status and development trends of influencing factors of urban green innovation and summarized the research in this field. The study found that collaboration among authors and institutions in this field needs to be strengthened to a certain extent. In addition, the study identified the research hotspots and frontiers in the field of urban green innovation, including “management”, “diffusion”, “smart city”, “indicator”, “sustainable city”, “governance”, and “environmental regulation”. Among them, “management”, “governance”, “indicator”, and “internet” are the research frontiers in this field, which are expected to have profound impacts on the future development of urban green innovation. The co-citation analysis results found that China has the highest research output in this field, followed by the United States, England, Australia, and Italy. In conclusion, this study uses CiteSpace software to identify important influencing factors and development trends of urban green innovation. Urban green innovation has gradually become a norm for social and collective behavior in the process of concretization, interdisciplinary development, and technological innovation. These findings have important reference value for promoting research and practice of urban green innovation.

Research Progress and Hot Spot Analysis of the Propagation and Evolution Law of Prefabricated Cracks in Defective Rocks.

The generation of rock mass disasters in underground engineering essentially arises from the disruption of the original three-dimensional stress equilibrium of the rock mass caused by excavation and other activities, leading to the redistribution of stress fields. During the excavation process, the engineering rock mass undergoes complex dynamic stress equilibrium processes involving loading and unloading. This equilibrium process promotes the nucleation, initiation, and propagation of pre-existing cracks in the surrounding rock, resulting in changes in the internal structure of the rock mass and a weakening of its strength. Eventually, this localized cracking extends to global failure. In order to understand the current status better and study the development trends in the study of crack propagation and evolution in defective rock, this study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 288 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection database using CiteSpace software (version 6.1.R4). The results indicate an increasing trend in the annual publication output, characterized by two phases of emergence and rapid development. The countries of China, the United States, and Iran have the highest publication output in this field. The most frequently cited journals include INT J ROCK MECH MIN, ENG FRACT MECH, and ROCK MECH ROCK ENG. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the current status and development trends in the research on the propagation and evolution of pre-existing cracks. This study enhances the comprehension of crucial aspects of crack propagation and evolution in rock materials with defects. Moreover, it opens up new possibilities for future investigations and holds promising implications for researchers and practitioners in the field.

The spread of legal responsibility for offenses on the Internet in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine

The article examines the current state and development trends in the issue of the spread of legal responsibility for offenses on the Internet. It is relevant because our country lives in the conditions of a full-scale invasion of invaders and is constantly in conditions not only of military protection, but also in the field of protection in the information space. Continuous development and digitization of all areas of life require a clear system of protection of society and the individual, in particular, prevention and establishment of responsibility for the commission of relevant illegal acts.
 The article identifies the main shortcomings and suggests ways to solve problems in the issue of responsibility and violation of laws on the Internet. An analysis of the statistics of such crimes was carried out and conclusions were drawn that will help prevent them. The current state of social development is inextricably linked with trends in various spheres of human activity. Society becomes completely dependent on the information component. Today, without computer and network technologies, it is difficult to imagine the simplest tasks we face. Digitalization has not bypassed legal science either. Over the past 20 years, new legal norms regulating legal relations in the field of information technologies have appeared. Criminal and administrative laws have expanded the number of illegal acts on the Internet.
 At the same time, such trends reveal loopholes through which cybercriminals become unpunished even when their actions are openly illegal. Special units and structures are being created in many countries to combat cyber fraudsters. The impetus for the creation and improvement of the cybercrime countermeasure system was the signing of the "Cybercrime Convention" in 2001, which disclosed and explained the basic legal principles of such crimes and established the framework of legal responsibility for their violation. In Ukraine, the provisions of the Convention were ratified in 2005.

K-Means Module Division Method of FDM3D Printer-Based Function–Behavior–Structure Mapping

Product performance, function, cost, and the level of module generalization are all significantly influenced by product modular design, but different goods require different division indicators and techniques. The purpose of this study is to provide a set of appropriate modular division techniques for FDM 3D printers. This research offers an ecologically friendly module division index and uses module clustering as the module division principle in accordance with the current industrial development trend and the fundamental requirements of FDM 3D printer consumers in the current market. The K-means algorithm is used to use the Jaccard similarity coefficient as the metric of similarity of the DSM clustering process to realize the module division of the FDM 3D printer after studying the function–behavior–structure mapping model of the 3D printer. Additionally, the elbow method–cluster error variance and average contour coefficient evaluation systems were built, respectively, in order to verify the viability of the FDM 3D printer module division method and obtain the best module division results. By analyzing these two systems, it was discovered that when the FDM 3D printer was divided into three modules, the in-cluster error variance diagram obviously had an inflection point, and the average profile coefficient and other modular approaches that need to be adjusted to their respective goods can use this division method as a theoretical foundation and point of reference.

Global and regional trends of the century+ in the Middle East: A new interpretation

The study focuses on a set of issues related to the assessment of key trends in the development of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), which has been raised in the research published by Russian academicians V.G. Baranovskii and V.V. Naumkin in 2018. The aim of this paper is to reexamine their estimates and forecasts in the light of recent developments and on this basis to take a fresh look at the future of the MENA region. To that end, the first section of the paper revisits the main findings of the 2018 research. It shows which of the global and regional trends outlined there have retained their relevance under modern conditions, and which ones need serious reappraisal. In particular, the authors note that the trend towards the universalization of regional political systems stemmed from their overall modernization is being increasingly counterbalanced by the revival of archaic socio-political practices. The recent developments in the region have had an even greater impact on the process of democratization and the globalization-regionalization dichotomy. The authors argue that these changes were not completely unforeseen; on the contrary, they were anticipated if one looks at them through the lens of neo-modernism. The second section analyzes current trends in regional development. It shows that though the most acute regional conflicts in the MENA region are gradually de-escalating, centrifugal tendencies are becoming more evident, as heterogeneity of political systems and regimes increases. In this context, the discourses of decolonization and neocolonialism, as well as symbolic politics in general, are gaining a whole new meaning.

Оценка индекса континентальности Западной Сибири на фоне регионального изменения климата

Quantitative assessment of the territory continentality is an urgent task, because in the conditions ofclimatechange, the index ofcontinentalitycan be taken into account when developing geographical forecasts of landscape development. The purpose of this study is to assess the change in the index of continentality of Western Siberia in the conditions of the current trend in climate development. The statistical series of observations on seven meteorological stations in Western Siberia served as the information base of the study. The long-term changes in the average January and average July temperatures, as well as the amount of precipitation for the cold (October-March) and warm (April-September) periods of the year were analyzed. Calculations for the time intervals of 1961–1990 and 1991–2015 allowed us to conclude that the climate continentality of Western Siberia is weakening under the conditions of regional climate development.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Apple Snails (Ampullariidae)

Apple snails (ASs), the freshwater snails of the family Ampullariidae, are widely spread in tropical and subtropical regions. Owing to their strong invasiveness and harmful effects on agricultural production and ecosystems, they have attracted considerable attention. However, less research has been conducted on the whole picture of the current research status and development trends in the ASs field. For this purpose, we conducted a bibliometric analysis based on a total of 1028 publications regarding ASs published between 1900 and 2021 using VOSviewer 1.6.18 and CiteSpace 6.1.R3 software. The results suggest that ASs research has received increasing attention in recent years. The most productive country has been the USA, while the institution with the most publications was Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas Conicet. “Zoology” was the category of the most popular subject, Journal of Molluscan Studies was the primary journal, and P.R. Martin was the most outstanding author in ASs field. Invasive alien species, alarm response, copper (Cu) exposure, taxonomy and phylogenetic analysis, Angiostrongylus cantonensis (parasite), control (including molluscicidal activity), growth and reproduction, and feeding preferences were the main research hotspots. Further, “Pomacea maculata”, “Evolution”, “Biology”, “Digestive gland”, “Phylogeny”, “Identification”, “Pomacea canaliculata caenogastropoda”, “Diversity”, and “Nonnative apple snail” have been emerging active topics in recent years. These findings can help researchers in this area to better understand the direction and advances of ASs research and are valuable for future research and agricultural practice of apple snail control.

The Objectives of Modern Law: New Legal Reality and Scientific Views of the Past

The article is devoted to the problems of setting and achieving the objective of jurisprudence that are significant not only for legal science, but also for practice, which would most fully reflect the historical experience, the current condition and trends in the future development of law. The relevance of these issues, regardless of temporal and territorial boundaries, is confirmed by the analysis of scientific works of domestic and foreign legal scholars, among which special attention should be paid to the work “The objectives of modern jurisprudence” published in 1907, written by the pre-revolutionary lawyer Gambarov Yuri Stepanovich. The author of the article analyzes certain provisions of this work, “projecting” them on to the legal reality, which is formed under the influence of objective factors of a global and country scale, arguing the need to define the objective of modern jurisprudence, taking into account philosophical ideas and social relations, not limited only to the current law.

Bioactivity potential was demonstrated for most tested materials (n = 148). This review presents insights into the current trends of bioactive materials development, clearly showing a severe lack of clinical studies.

Digital Twin of Shipbuilding Process in Shipyard 4.0

Maximum digitalization is the current trend in industrial development. The digital industrial revolution has been underway for more than a dozen years. Industry 4.0 and the idea of digital twins (DT) are becoming the focus of virtually all industrial sectors. Some sectors are more predisposed to digitalization, while for others, the process is much more difficult. This mainly depends on the specific characteristics and susceptibility of a given industry, including the current degree of digitalization of companies, as well as the knowledge and mental readiness of employees. The individual characteristics of an industry are important. Shipbuilding is a traditional industry where the level of digitalization is still low. As a result, the efficiency of shipbuilding processes and the quality of ships built are not sufficiently controlled. The article addresses this problem, reviews work in the field of digitalization of shipbuilding processes, and identifies the needs and challenges in this area. The article proposes the concept of a DT system for the entire ship design and production process. Key areas of digitalization of the actual processes were defined, and a division was made into planning, monitoring, and process analysis activities. Special attention was paid to the area of dimensional quality control, and the dimensional quality management metasystem (DQMM) was introduced into the comprehensive DT system. The requirements were defined, and the limitations of the proposed solution were identified, taking into account a number of external factors, including the degree of readiness of the manufacturer—the shipyard. The developed DT system concept was tested using the example of the construction process of a simplified ship. Practical aspects of the implementation of the proposed solution, in particular, DQMM, were pointed out.
