Joint Development Research Articles

Цифровая и логистическая инфраструктуры Арктической зоны: современное состояние исследований и пути развития

The subject of the article is the analysis of the current state of research and practice in the field of transport, logistics and digital infrastructures in the Russian Arctic. The authors consider logistic and digital infrastructures as key communication subsystems that ensure the movement of material values, people and information, and thus serve as a prerequisite for the development of the macro-region under consid-eration. The research methods used were literature review of scientific sources and analysis of the ob-tained material. A systematic literature mapping was carried out on Scopus, Google Scholar, Elibrary data-bases. Aspects of the Arctic region development, including the role of logistics and digital infrastructures in this process, are described by scientific schools of Russia, Canada, Norway, China, USA and other countries. The analysis has shown the highly variable state of the subsystems under consideration depending on the specific region, as well as the lack of a comprehensive approach to their joint development and integration. It was stated that there is no such problem statement about the development of communication subsystems of the Arctic zone. On the basis of the analysis, the key directions for the development of logistics and digital infrastructure of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation were formulated. The authors’ recommendations, apart from the obvious tasks of developing sea routes, building and modernizing roads, railways and airports, expanding access to broadband internet and other widely discussed measures, describe the need to integrate the communication subsystems under consideration and focus on the potential of digital technologies to replace and/or supplement the logistics infrastructure in certain aspects.

Identification of a novel BAAT frameshift mutation in a female child diagnosed with skeletal dysplasia: A case report.

Skeletal dysplasias are a complex series of rare genetic disorders that cause irregular development of bones, joints, and cartilages in children. A total of 770 disorders associated with 41 groups of skeletal dysplasia have been documented, demonstrating a wide range of clinical manifestations and varying levels of severity. In addition to conventional methods, whole genome sequencing has emerged as a useful approach to pinpointing the underlying etiology of skeletal dysplasias. A 13-month-old female was admitted to the hospital due to the symptoms of jaundice and failure to thrive. The child was subjected to blood tests and a radiographic assessment. The blood chemistries revealed elevated levels of total bilirubin (178 µmol/L), bile acids (198 µmol/L), and low levels of serum calcium (1.69 mmol/L) and phosphate (0.8 mmol/L), along with irregular skeletal development in the forearms and legs, considering rickets and cholestasis. Whole exome sequencing data of the proband revealed a homozygous mutation of c.388dupA in the BAAT (bile acid-CoA: amino acid N-acyltransferase) gene sequence. This mutation caused a frameshift in the amino acid of the BAAT protein, resulting in the pR130Kfs*12 variant. This mutation has been identified as the underlying cause of skeletal dysplasia in the proband. A novel frameshift mutation in the BAAT gene of a Vietnamese female child diagnosed with skeletal dysplasia has been studied by whole exome sequencing analysis. This research reported a case of skeletal dysplasia caused by a frameshift mutation in the BAAT gene. The results of this study contribute to our understanding of the diverse factors that influence irregular skeletal development in children and provide genetic data to support clinical practice.

Cost estimation of Non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction- A bottom-up analysis of coal-bed methane extraction and utilization in Shanxi, China

This paper analyzes the synergistic effect of coal-bed methane (CBM) extraction and utilization on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction in Shanxi Province. Using data from a survey of 87 CBM extraction firms and 61 CBM utilization firms, we draw abatement cost curves of methane emission reduction with the "Conserved Supply Curve (CSC)." Our findings show large diversity among the methane abatement costs of extraction firms, meanwhile cost diversity in the extraction step is mainly due to differences in extraction technologies, rather than mine types. Power generation is the main utilization option for CBM, with much smaller abatement cost diversity than in the extraction step. Most utilization projects are established near CBM sources, with small-scale equipment supplied by domestic vendors. We suggest Shanxi could introduce a carbon pricing mechanism to further encourage CBM extraction and increase its scale. Promoting technology standardization can reduce cost diversity among extraction firms, while developing CBM purifying firms can create standardized products and break the strong integration of extraction and utilization. Strengthening CBM transportation infrastructure can form a competitive market with multi-source supply upstream and efficient transportation downstream. Promoting joint research and development for domestic CBM utilization equipment can also improve its scale.

The production of extended local territory: Topology and the spatial politics of city-region making in China

A new trend has been emerging in China’s urban and regional politics, as it is becoming prevalent to extend one municipal authority to another, transcending boundaries, often through the establishment of joint development zones. These newly produced subnational territories are worth further attention to clarify the underlying political dynamics of China’s changing state space. This paper examines the Shenzhen–Shanwei Special Cooperation Zone in Guangdong and analyses the political–spatial processes through which a certain area of Shanwei has been transformed into the ‘Eastern frontier of Shenzhen’. Looking into the relational power nexus that has also been inflected by trans-scalar and cross-boundary dynamics, as well as its manifestations in urban landscapes, we propose extended local territory as a key analytical concept to explore how and how far the rise of extensive territoriality has been articulated with intensive localities. Empirically, we elaborate on the ways in which the territorial ambition and authority of Shenzhen have been managing to traverse boundaries, while also recognising that Shenzhen’s aspiration of materialising its extensive territoriality is challenged by both scalar constraints and the grassroots politics rooted in local history and geography. Addressing the dialectics between the extensive territoriality and intensive locality, we attend to the inter-topological effects and trace the patterns of correlation that are involved in this process, which also turns out to be a critical approach to better understanding changing state spaces in and beyond China.

Service Design for Social Innovation: A New Path for the Development of Government Public Services Based on the TB4D Model

Public service is related to everyone’s life and future and directly feeds back on the development of society and the country. How to better shape and develop it is a critical issue for both individuals and groups. As the primary provider, the government plays a vital role in its creation, development, and transformation. In recent years, with the rapid development of human society, this field has been placed in the midst of new challenges. These are the difficulties that government departments urgently need to solve, and the traditional solutions have shown apparent inadequacies. Service design, as a powerful responder, is gradually emerging and playing an important role, influencing a series of dimensions from service innovation to social policies. The application of service design in government public services holds significant social value. However, related research remains in its infancy, needing a systematic theoretical framework. This paper focuses on government public service design and carries out systematic design research on it in order to realize the corresponding social and academic value. This paper established a theoretical framework for government public service design centered on the TB4D model, based on an in-depth study of the relevant literature, nearly 30 representative industry case studies, and three practical projects conducted by the author. The model integrates the TSLC operational mechanism model, the Behavior-Organization-Policy operational content model, the “3 + 1” development mode, and the method reference guide for government public service design based on the Double Diamond design process model. The letters and numbers in the model’s name sequentially represent these four components. Specifically, the TSLC operational mechanism model derives its name from the initials of four parts: trans-dimensional cognitive and thinking mode, systems thinking, learning interactive innovation process, and cultural regeneration and value shaping. The “3 + 1” development model denotes three forms of development centered on internal design capability and the form of joint development focused on external design capabilities. The TB4D model combines both theory and practice, yet to better illustrate its overall performance, this paper reverted to the practical domain. It quantitatively evaluated 20 complete projects, calculating the mean value and 95% confidence intervals to verify the model. The results demonstrate that the model is valid and possesses high industry representativeness, effectiveness, and universality. The organic operation of the model will provide systematic, innovative solutions to address the problems and challenges faced in the public service field, promoting the sustainable development of society. Since research in this area is still at an early stage, the theoretical model proposed here emphasizes its intrinsic principles and universal logic. It aims to provide foundational theoretical support for the development of this field and systematic guidance for relevant practices. As the industry evolves, the model’s content can be further refined and enriched to better reflect contemporary characteristics. Additionally, because this model serves as a foundational framework for the entire field, it can be further expanded to develop sub-models with local characteristics when applied to different regions.

Humanitarian diplomacy and the countries of the Global South: Trends and discourses

In recent years, discussions about the essence of humanitarization and humanization of international relations have intensified due to the aggravation of economic, social, and ethical problems against the background of a sharp deterioration in the international situation, particularly in the Global South. This paper aims to identify the specifics and provide a comparative analysis of the approaches of both the developed and developing states of the North and the South to the formats, content and purpose of humanitarian diplomacy in contemporary world politics. The first section examines academic discussions on the issues of humanitarian diplomacy. The authors highlight two main approaches in foreign and Russian international political studies to addressing the humanitarian problems of the Global South — an objectal and a subjectal ones. The former is typically associated with the developed countries of the Global North and is rooted in the practices of the colonial era. The latter gained prominence in academic research in the 21st century with the emergence of the ‘new donors’, which promoted joint development programs led by the countries of the Global South and built on regional financial institutions. At the same time, the authors note that academic research tends to focus primarily on the dynamics of aid flows and conditions for development assistance, while a number of current trends in the humanitarian diplomacy remain understudied. These trends are examined in the second section of the article. The authors emphasize the growing trend towards transnationalization and privatization of humanitarian diplomacy, active involvement of non-state and hybrid actors. The third section outlines the key features of humanitarian diplomacy of the leading countries of the Global South (China, India, Turkey), as well as that of the ASEAN states and Arab monarchies. The authors identify several general principles of humanitarian diplomacy shared by the countries of the Global South: a broad, pluralistic understanding of the humanitarian agenda to include cultural, scientific, academic, and youth policy issues; commitment to the ideas of solidarity and humanitarian cooperation (instead of the donor-recipient model); normative neutrality of the humanitarian policy; adherence to the principles of state sovereignty.

Synergistic effects of biological stimuli and flexion induce microcavities promote hypertrophy and inhibit chondrogenesis during in vitro culture of human mesenchymal stem cell aggregates.

Interzone/cavitation are key steps in early stage joint formation that have not been successfully developed in vitro. Further, current models of endochondral ossification, an important step in early bone formation, lack key morphology morphological structures such as microcavities found during development in vivo. This is possibly due to the lack of appropriate strategies for incorporating chemical and mechanical stimuli that are thought to be involved in joint development. We designed a bioreactor system and investigated the synergic effect of chemical stimuli (chondrogenesis-inducing [CIM] and hypertrophy-inducing medium [HIM]) and mechanical stimuli (flexion) on the growth of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) based linear aggregates under different conditions over 4 weeks of perfusion culture. Computational studies were used to evaluate tissue stress qualitatively. After harvesting, both Safranin-O and hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining histology demonstrated microcavity structures and void structures in the region of higher stresses for tissue aggregates cultured only in HIM under flexion. In comparison to either HIM treatment or flexion only, increased glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in the extracellular matrix (ECM) at this region indicates the morphological change resembles the early stage of joint cavitation; while decreased type II collagen (Col II), and increased type X collagen (Col X) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with a clear boundary in the staining section indicates it resembles the early stage of ossification. Further, cell alignment analysis indicated that cells were mostly oriented toward the direction of flexion in high-stress region only in HIM under flexion, resembling cell morphology in both joint cavitation and hypertrophic cartilage in growth plate. Collectively, our results suggest that flexion and HIM inhibit chondrogenesis and promote hypertrophy and development of microcavities that resemble the early stage of joint cavitation and endochondral ossification. We believe the tissue model described in this work can be used to develop in vitro models of joint tissue for applications such as pathophysiology and drug discovery.

Learning from each other: Cross-cutting diagnostic development activities between magnetic and inertial confinement fusion (invited).

Inertial Confinement Fusion and Magnetic Confinement Fusion (ICF and MCF) follow different paths toward goals that are largely common. In this paper, the claim is made that progress can be accelerated by learning from each other across the two fields. Examples of successful cross-community knowledge transfer are presented that highlight the gains from working together, specifically in the areas of high-resolution x-ray imaging spectroscopy and neutron spectrometry. Opportunities for near- and mid-term collaboration are identified, including in chemical vapor deposition diamond detector technology, using gamma rays to monitor fusion gain, handling neutron-induced backgrounds, developing radiation hard technology, and collecting fundamental supporting data needed for diagnostic analysis. Fusion research is rapidly moving into the igniting and burning regimes, posing new opportunities and challenges for ICF and MCF diagnostics. This includes new physics to probe, such as alpha heating; increasingly harsher environmental conditions; and (in the slightly longer term) the need for new plant monitoring diagnostics. Substantial overlap is expected in all of these emerging areas, where joint development across the two subfields as well as between public and private researchers can be expected to speed up advancement for all.

145 Co-producing a physical activity referral scheme for the German healthcare system: A qualitative analysis of stakeholder experiences

Abstract Purpose Physical activity referral schemes (PARS) are a promising strategy to promote physical activity within healthcare settings. Despite the perceived potential of PARS, no national scheme has yet been implemented in Germany. This study investigated stakeholders’ experiences with the development of a PARS in the German healthcare system using a co-production approach. The focus was on examining facilitators and challenges, along with gathering insights on potential modifications to the joint development process, all from the viewpoint of stakeholders. Methods Based on 25 stakeholders participating in the co-production process, seven stakeholders were purposefully selected for one-to-one semi-structured interviews. Following the maximum variation principle, interview partners represented a variety of participating stakeholders regarding the health sector they belong to, the stakeholders’ position within their organization and their attendance during the development phase. We analyzed the interview transcripts using summarizing qualitative content analysis (software MAXQDA 2022). Results The following factors were identified as facilitators of the development process: co-production approach, process of co-production, multi-sector stakeholder group, possibility of active participation, coordinating role of researchers, communication, atmosphere and interaction. In contrast, differences in roles and hierarchy, merging of different perspectives, clarification of intervention costs, and competition and conflicting interests were pointed out as challenges. Interviewees made a few suggestions for improving group composition and cooperation among stakeholders. Conclusions Overall, stakeholder experiences with the development process were overwhelmingly positive, indicating that co-production is a beneficial approach for the development of PARS intended for integration into healthcare systems. To further improve co-production of PARS models and other interdisciplinary health services, scientists should report on and evaluate the collaborative development processes more frequently and systematically. Support/Funding Source The study is funded by the Federal Ministry of Health based on a resolution of the German ‘Bundestag’ by the federal government.

Study on thermal crack characteristics of granite in Shandong Province, China under different temperatures and heating/cooling treatments

The qualitative and quantitative analysis of crack initiation characteristics, extended procedure, and crack network morphology of rock under different temperatures and heating/cooling paths was conducted in order to delve deeper into the mechanism of thermal cracking, and the analytical perspectives mainly include microstructure, thermodynamics, and mineral crystal properties. Research results indicate that 200–300 °C and 600 °C are two obvious mutation points of water-cooled samples, while air-cooled samples show mutation points around 600 °C. The initiation positions of thermal cracking under all temperature paths are relatively similar, with intergranular crack located between particles at the edge of the sample or intercrystalline cracks in the middle of feldspar or quartz aggregates. Slow heating and rapid cooling contribute to the complexity of the thermal crack network, and rapid heating can form larger sized thermal cracks. The process of thermal cracking can be divided into three stages: initiation of small cracks, joint development of main cracks and small cracks, and interconnection of cracks to form a network structure. The thermal cracking mechanism is attributed to differences in expansion and thermal conductivity among various crystals.

Strategic alliances and competitive advantage of commercial banks in Kenya

Commercial banks in Kenya operate in quite dynamic financial market environment and continue to experience stiff competition in the provision of financial services. The liberation of the financial markets has resulted into an upsurge in the number of institutions providing financial products and services, threatening the future of Kenyan commercial banks. This study aimed at determining the effect of strategic alliances on competitive advantage of commercial banks in Kenya. The objectives were to determine effect of joint ventures, equity alliances, and joint research and development on the competitiveness of Kenyan banks. The following theories informed this research; Resource Based View theory, competitive theory, and resource dependence theory. Causal research design was adopted where all the 42 Kenyan commercial banks formed the target population. Census survey sampling design was applied and semi-structured questionnaire used. Reliability and validity results were used to improve the research instrument prior to the actual data collection. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Study found that joint venture (?=0.435, p=0.000) equity alliances (?=0.227, p=0.018), and joint research and development (?=0.0.612, p=0.000) had positive significant effects on competitive advantage. With a coefficient of determination (R-square) of 68.9% and overall p-value of 0.000, the study concluded strategic alliances have a statistical significant effect on competitive advantage. The study recommends that managements of commercial banks should fast-truck implementation of such alliances to for improved competitiveness.

Decomposing Impact on Longitudinal Outcome of Time-Varying Covariate into Baseline Effect and Temporal Effect

Longitudinal processes are often associated with each other over time; therefore, it is important to investigate the associations among developmental processes and understand their joint development. The traditional latent growth curve model (LGCM) with a time-varying covariate (TVC) provides a method to estimate the TVC effect on a longitudinal outcome while modeling the outcome’s change. However, it does not allow the TVC to predict variations in the random growth coefficients. We propose decomposing the TVC into initial trait and temporal states using three methods to address this limitation. In each method, the baseline of the TVC is viewed as an initial trait, and the corresponding effects are obtained by regressing random intercepts and slopes on the baseline value. Temporal states are characterized as (a) interval-specific slopes, (b) interval-specific changes, or (c) changes from the baseline at each measurement occasion, depending on the method. We demonstrate our methods through simulations and real-world data analyses, assuming a linear–linear functional form for the longitudinal outcome. The results demonstrate that LGCMs with a decomposed TVC can provide unbiased and precise estimates with target confidence intervals. We also provide OpenMx and Mplus 8 code for these methods with commonly used linear and nonlinear functions.

Patient safety in the Innovation Fund - Characterization, results and evaluation of completed projects: Results of a scoping review

The German Innovation Fund has funded various studies on patient safety. Their thematic spectrum, methodological quality, results and recommendations of the Innovation committee were to be systematically investigated in order to derive proposals for optimizing transfer success. As part of a scoping review, all Innovation Fund projects funded in the period 2016-02/2023 with a focus on patient safety were analyzed. Each included study document was critically reviewed by two independent persons. The 16 included projects addressed a wide range of populations, indications and interventions. The study quality was mostly good. The results ranged from feasible indicator sets and the prevention of adverse drug reactions to the optimization of error management. For seven projects, the Innovation Committee recommended forwarding the results to healthcare institutions with the request that they take note and/or examine the feasibility of implementation in standard care. Implementation, however, has not yet taken place. In order to facilitate implementation, the joint development of an implementation strategy by the recipients of the Innovation Committee's recommendations is necessary.

Protective effect of modified lange "second position" for developing avascular necrosis following closed reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition affecting hip joint development in children, presenting multiple manifestations. Immobilization methods to ensure hip concentricity, such as the human position and modified Lange position, vary in effectiveness and risks, especially avascular necrosis. The purpose of this study was to identify whether closed reduction (CR), with two different immobilization techniques, is effective in avoiding complications such as residual hip dysplasia (RHD), re-dislocation, and Avascular Necrosis (AVN). A total of 66 patients with DDH (84 hips) were treated with two different techniques of immobilization (groups A and B); the mean age at the time of reduction was 8 (6-13) months. The rates of RHD, Re-dislocation, and AVN were determined with a minimum follow-up of 48 months in both techniques. The Chi-square analysis conducted across the study groups unveiled that patients in Group B demonstrated a protective effect against AVN compared to those in Group A (OR: 0.248, 95% CI: 0.072-0.847, p = 0.026). However, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups concerning RHD (p = 0.563) and re-dislocation (p = 0.909). After the initial Human Position immobilization, the second cast with the modified Lange "second position" demonstrated a protective effect compared with maintaining the Human Position immobilization throughout the immobilization period, reducing the likelihood of AVN development in patients undergoing closed reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Občanská gramotnost: Hledání základů didaktiky společenských věd a občanské výchovy

The study is devoted to the reflection of possible didactic bases for the formation of didactics of social sciences and civic education. First, it offers a comparison with a more developed model of history didactics and then brings into the debate some selected aspects from current international debates − the role of the competence model, active citizenship and the position of sciences in shaping school curricula. The study sets itself two general objectives: 1) On the basis of the current state of the didactics of history, to define the general features of a successful developed didactic theory and to outline the directions and challenges of possible paths for the didactics of civic education. 2) To delineate the space for the joint development of the didactics of civic education and history on the one hand, but also to highlight the specificities and singularities of civic education in schools on the other.

Analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of investment projects projects of the eaeu regions

Relevance. The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is the most important instrument of cooperation between Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as the most important strategic entity in the context of modern geopolitical realities. It is in such an unstable period that joint cooperation is an integral feature of the long-term development of the member states of the union. The article examines the processes of development and implementation of the largest construction projects within the EAEU, as well as examines the issues of financing these projects, and evaluates the effectiveness of their implementation for each participating country.The purpose of the work is to identify the role of the EAEU in the development of the participating countries, their points of contact and cooperation.Objectives: to analyze the volume of completed construction works of the EAEU member states, the number of housing squares commissioned on the territory of the EAEU; to estimate the amount of investments invested in the largest investment projects of the EAEU in the participating countries.Methodology. The basis of the study is the database of the official portal of the Eurasian Union and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The materials of Russian and foreign experts published in the official publication of the Eurasian Union "Bulletin of the EEA" were also used in this study. Methods of comparison, synthesis and analysis of information resources were used in the study. Results. The unified strategy for the economic development of the EAEU member states, taking into account internal and external challenges, is implemented mainly through the active development and development of the largest investment programs throughout the Union.Conclusions. The active work of the EAEU brings tangible benefits and advantages to each member country of the union through the exchange of technologies, production experience and resources, as well as through the development of transport infrastructure. At the same time, questions remain about the sufficiency of the contribution of specific States to joint development, since some of them do not have a sufficient level of development and a sufficient amount of natural resources.

[formula omitted]adaptive resonance ratio control for series elastic actuator with guaranteed transient performance

Series elastic actuator (SEA) technology is promising for the development of compliant robotic joints. Despite advancements in the realization of precise tracking, challenges persist in controlling the vibration and transient performance. This study enhanced the resonance ratio control (RRC) algorithm by integrating it with the L1 adaptive control (L1AC) method to address overshoot, static error, and vibration in SEA position control. Initially, the resonance between the motor and link sides caused by the elastic transmission structure was analyzed, which can result in overshoots and vibrations that affect the transient performance of the SEA control. Subsequently, a control scheme based on L1AC was introduced to enhance the performance. The stability of the proposed algorithm was demonstrated through a comprehensive exploration of key control parameters. Furthermore, the algorithm was augmented with gravity compensation, effectively reducing the predicted and reference errors. Consequently, the transient performance was improved. The efficacy of this enhanced algorithm was validated through simulations and experimental platforms, and comparisons with the RRC and model reference adaptive control algorithms. In all the experiments, the overshoot did not exceed 1.1%, the maximum jitter amplitude on the link side was within 0.2° , and a larger time constant in the controller could effectively eliminate the overshoot and vibration with a small response time delay. Furthermore, the algorithm exhibited a protective response during link side collisions by moderating link velocity and limiting motor current, to safeguard the contact environment, humans, and the SEA itself, which take advantage of the L1AC’s low-pass filter (LPF) properties in disturbance handling.

Imaging of the Pediatric Knee.

During normal development, imaging findings in the immature knee joint may mimic pathology or indicate transient sites of weakness, prone to injury. This article reviews the development of the knee joint, age- and maturation-dependent imaging considerations, and various developmental variants that can be encountered, subdivided into those that involve the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral compartments, soft tissues, and osseous components. The tibiofemoral compartment section reviews the focal periphyseal edema zone (FOPE), ossification variants of the femoral condyles, distal femoral metaphyseal cortical irregularity from periosteal traction, and the metaphyseal subperiosteal stripe, which should be distinguished from pathologic mimickers such as endochondral ossification dysfunction, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), fibroosseous lesion, periosteal and subcortical pathologies. The patellofemoral compartment section includes a review of partite patella, dorsolateral defect, variant trochlear morphology, and maturation-dependent sites of transient weakness that are prone to injury from repetitive overuse (Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome and Osgood-Schlatter disease) and avulsion fractures (patellar sleeve and tibial tubercle avulsions). Finally, soft tissue (discoid lateral meniscus, meniscal flounce, anterior cruciate ligament variants) and osseous components (meniscal ossicle, fabella, and cyamella) are reviewed.

Innovative Solutions, Green Initiatives for Sustainable Economic - The Hungarian Example

Green development has become a major goal for most world powers and is taking an increasingly prominent place in the global economy, with China and Europe being no exception. Both have set green growth as a goal to achieve carbon neutrality in the coming years. As the green economy is now global, cooperation is essential to improve quality of life everywhere. Chinese experts are helping to green Hungary's transition taking part in the Hungarian energy economy. The relationship between the two countries has been dominant for centuries, but until recently it needed to be redefined. The Chinese President in 2024 visited Hungary and met the Prime Minister and the Hungarian Head of State. Within the framework of the One Belt, One Road strategy, the two countries have drawn up an expanding list of projects for joint investment and development. The summit between the two countries delivered results, with the parties signing eighteen important agreements. Hungarian experts collaborate with Chinese partners on clean energy, sustainable energy production and green technology innovation. In a summary, the agreement covers cooperation in nuclear research and development, training, the expansion of the electric car charging network, and the exploration of the possibility of jointly connecting the domestic and Serbian oil pipeline systems. In our research, we explore areas for further cooperation between China and Hungary, identifying key areas of mutual benefit and common interest.
