A bibliometric analysis of financial service providers’ best efforts to address child sexual exploitation

ABSTRACT This article explores Fintech’s best practices to address child sexual exploitation (CSE) by utilizing bibliometric software, such as Vosviewer and Biblioshiny, specifically in analyzing research documents focusing on Financial service providers (FSPs) and CSE. Vosviewer and Biblioshiny were used to identify research trends, collaboration patterns, and knowledge maps within the FSP and CSE fields. By using this innovative approach, our research was able to gain deeper insights into recent scientific developments focusing not only on content areas and interpretation but also on network data visualization techniques, cluster analysis, and co-occurrences analysis of the evolution of key themes in the FSPs and CSE literature in addressing CSE. FSPs play a strategic role in preventing and addressing CSE cases. On the one hand, they facilitate transactions with perpetrators of child sexual exploitation. However, on the other hand, they also have the potential to reduce the threat of sexual exploitation of children. This bibliometric research aims to analyze the efforts of FSPs in addressing CSE. The research method used Vosviewer and Biblioshiny software to analyze 45 documents from the Scopus database. The results of this study provide insights into best practices in responding to and addressing child sexual exploitation and identify unexplored research gaps. There are at least 10 research areas and three themes that have not received much attention from researchers, such as ‘commercial sexual exploitation’, ‘child trafficking’, and ‘trauma’. Not only that, socioeconomic determinants also occur in CSE cases involving the abuse of FSPs. To address these issues, best practices focus more on strengthening and enforcing laws and monitoring transactions. The implications of this research can help decision-makers and prepare solutions for the future. In addition, the government needs to create adaptive and solutive policies to protect children and address new forms of criminality.

Learning (Not) to Know: Examining How White Ignorance Manifests and Functions in White Adolescents' Racial Identity Narratives.

In critical approaches to the study of whiteness, white ignorance refers to systematic and intentional ways of (not) knowing that function to perpetuate racism. The current critical qualitative analysis examines how white ignorance surfaces in the racial identity narratives of white adolescents (N = 69, Mage = 15.91, SD = 0.49, data collected 2017-2019). Using semi-structured interview data, we identified three manifestations of accommodation to white ignorance: constructing white as disadvantaged, framing race(ism) as unimportant and elsewhere, and the active refusal to know or imagine racial oppression. Alongside this accommodation we also observed a less common but important thread of resistance to white ignorance: seeing (and naming) systemic racism. The findings reveal how white ignorance as a macrosystemic cultural practice becomes embedded in, and strengthened through, the micro-level racial identities of white adolescents. Implications for conceptualizing and contextualizing white racial identity in developmental science are discussed.

Artificial intelligence streamlines scientific discovery of drug-target interactions.

Drug discovery is a complicated process through which new therapeutics are identified to prevent and treat specific diseases. Identification of drug-target interactions (DTIs) stands as a pivotal aspect within the realm of drug discovery and development. The traditional process of drug discovery, especially identification of DTIs, is marked by its high costs of experimental assays and low success rates. Computational methods have emerged as indispensable tools, especially those employing artificial intelligence (AI) methods, which could streamline the process, thereby reducing costs and time consumption and potentially increasing success rates. In this review, we focus on the application of AI techniques in DTI prediction. Specifically, we commence with a comprehensive overview of drug discovery and development, along with systematic prediction and validation of DTIs. We proceed to highlight the prominent databases and toolkits used in developing AI methods for DTI prediction, as well as with methodologies for evaluating their efficacy. We further extend the exploration into three primary types of state-of-the-art AI methods used in DTI prediction, including classical machine learning, deep learning and network-based methods. Finally, we summarize the key findings and outline the current challenges and future directions that AI methods face in scientific drug discovery and development.

Foundational guidelines for enhancing neurotechnology research and development through end-user involvement.

Neurotechnologies are increasingly becoming integrated with our everyday lives, our bodies and our mental states. As the popularity and impact of neurotechnology grows, so does our responsibility to ensure we understand its particular implications on its end users, as well as broader ethical and societal implications. Enabling end-users and other stakeholders to participate in the development of neurotechnology, even at its earliest stages of conception, will help us better navigate our design around these serious considerations, and deliver more impactful technologies. There are many different terms and frameworks to articulate the concept of involving end users in the technology development lifecycle, for example: 'Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement' (PPIE), 'lived experience', 'co-design', 'co-production'. Here we utilise the PPIE framework to develop clear guidelines for implementing a robust involvement process of current and future end-users in neurotechnology, with emphasis on patient involvement. We present best practice guidance for researchers and engineers who are interested in developing and conducting a PPI strategy for their neurotechnology. We consolidate advice from various online sources to orient individual teams (and their funders) to carve up their own approach to meaningful involvement. After an introduction that coveys the tangible and conceptual benefits of user involvement, we first guide the reader to develop a general strategy towards setting up their own process. We then help the reader map out their relevant stakeholders and provide advice on how to consider user diversity and representation. We also provide advice on how to quantify the outcomes of the engagement, as well as a check-list to ensure transparency and accountability at various stages. The overall aim is the establishment of gold-standard methodologies for ensuring that patient and public insights are at the forefront of our scientific inquiry and product development.

Hydrogeochemical Evolution, Isotopic Insights, and Genetic Models of Geothermal Water in Anhui Province, China

Anhui Province is rich in geothermal water resources, making the study of its hydrochemical evolution and genetic models essential for scientific development and sustainable utilization. This study combines hydrochemical and hydrogen–oxygen isotopic data from different regions of Anhui Province to analyze the hydrogeochemical evolution characteristics and recharge mechanisms of basin-type and mountainous-type geothermal waters. The results show that basin-type geothermal water is predominantly of the Cl–Na type, with water–rock interactions mainly including halite dissolution, gypsum dissolution, dedolomitization, and silicate hydrolysis. The groundwater system is relatively closed off, with slow flow rates. In contrast, mountainous geothermal water is mainly of the HCO3–Na·Ca, SO4–Na·Ca, and SO4–Na types, with water–rock interactions primarily involving calcite dissolution, dolomite dissolution, and gypsum dissolution. Enhanced precipitation infiltration due to fault structures leads to stronger recharge and an open-system characteristic. The genetic models of the two types of geothermal water reveal the structural and recharge mechanisms of thermal reservoirs under different geological settings, highlighting the significant control of geological background on geothermal water formation.

Resisting silence: Using developmental science to Guide conversations around Race(ism) and justice in K-12 classrooms

ABSTRACT Rac(ism) continues to be a defining feature of the US context. Alarmingly, current legislation of K-12 teachers’ classroom conversations is limiting teachers’ ability to discuss issues of race(ism) with students in nuanced, productive ways. A potential solution to this pedagogical silencing is re-centering the role of developmental science in dialogue around social issues, particularly current events related to racial injustice. Framed by Transformative-SEL, this article will highlight the utility of merging social domain theory (Nucci, 2009) with critical histories (Alridge, 2006) to meaningful engage K-12 students in difficult conversations around issues of rac (ism) in the US context. In addition, this article will discuss the transdisciplinary Educating for Democracy initiative (EFD) and the way its alignment with developmental science, emphasis on primary resources, and student led discussion supports and protects educators in the face of pernicious forces while building students’ justice-oriented citizenship capacities.

Международная конкурентоспособность отрасли биотехнологий во Франции в контексте стратегии научно-технического развития страны

The article reveals the specifics of the legislative framework of France, which considers the development of innovations in the country. In addition to certain laws that directly or indirectly regulate the activities of companies in the field of innovation, the authors note the importance of the provisions of the French Scientific and Technological Development Strategy. In the named Strategy the main focus is made on supporting innovation through effective tools to stimulate the innovative development of the national economy. The object of research in the article is the biotechnology sector that is one of the most competitive sectors of the French economy and according to the UNCTAD classification, contains "advanced" and in some cases "breakthrough" technologies. The development of this industry in the Fifth Republic is organized in clusters, contributes to the reindustrialization of the country's territories, increases employment and reduces carbon dioxide emissions. The authors of the article conducted a comparative analysis of participants and funded projects of biotechnological clusters in France in 2024, using the annual cluster reports. Thus, the authors revealed that cluster financing in France occurs at the federal, regional and local levels. Besides the state as the main investor of innovative projects, France apply such an instrument like a system of public-private partnerships, as well as attracting private capital in the form of venture investments. The authors note that, despite its high international competitiveness, the biotechnology industry in France faces certain challenges: difficulties in increasing the level of commercialization of products related to the timing of clinical trials; fact of luring companies with promising projects to other countries; complexity in financing start-ups; dependence on raw materials in biobanks located outside Europe; weak presence in global value chains. The authors propose specific measures to maintain and increase the level of international competitiveness in the field of healthcare biotechnology for the EU in general and France in particular.

Tales of Transitions: Seeking Scientific Software Sustainability

Software is crucial to science, but sustaining projects for long term impact is challenging. Scientists and funders look to ''the open source way'' (known as peer production in the organizational literature) as a promising route to sustainability. We studied scientific software projects funded by research grants and which were encouraged by their funder to develop a sustainable community around their open source code. Using interviews and content analysis of online presences, we studied the projects over a seven year period, from receiving grants around 2014 through the typically three years of funding, and for up to four years following the funding. We make four contributions: First, we find that by far the most successful route to peer production was beginning as peer production, a result with clear policy implications. Second, through our taxonomies of organizational forms and of organizational change, we paint a landscape of the variety of forms that scientific software development can take on and transition between providing language for discussion in the literature and among communities of practice. Third, we use these taxonomies to describe multiple routes to sustainable software development. Finally, we discuss the challenges and strategies involved in sustaining scientific software, including choices not to pursue peer production at all.

Improving generalizability of developmental research through increased use of homogeneous convenience samples: A Monte Carlo simulation.

Due to its heavy reliance on convenience samples (CSs), developmental science has a generalizability problem that clouds its broader applicability and frustrates replicability. The surest solution to this problem is to make better use, where feasible, of probability samples, which afford clear generalizability. Because CSs that are homogeneous on one or more sociodemographic factor may afford a clearer generalizability than heterogeneous CSs, the use of homogeneous CSs instead of heterogeneous CSs may also help mitigate this generalizability problem. In this article, we argue why homogeneous CSs afford clearer generalizability, and we formally test this argument via Monte Carlo simulations. For illustration, our simulations focused on sampling bias in the sociodemographic factors of ethnicity and socioeconomic status and on the outcome of adolescent academic achievement. Monte Carlo simulations indicated that homogeneous CSs (particularly those homogeneous on multiple sociodemographic factors) reliably produce estimates that are appreciably less biased than heterogeneous CSs. Sensitivity analyses indicated that these reductions in estimate bias generalize to estimates of means and estimates of association (e.g., correlations) although reductions in estimate bias were more muted for associations. The increased employment of homogeneous CSs (particularly those homogeneous on multiple sociodemographic factors) instead of heterogeneous CSs would appreciably improve the generalizability of developmental research. Broader implications for replicability and the study of minoritized populations, considerations for application, and suggestions for sampling best practices are discussed.

A Landscape of Cancer Initiation and Cancer Stem Cells.

Exposure to radiation and chemicals, oncogenic viruses, microbiomes, and inflammation are the major events of cancer initiation. DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations are classically considered the main causes of cancer. The recent idea of epigenetics is broadening the concept, including the suggestion that oncogenic virus infection disrupts various intracellular signaling cascades. Chronic inflammation was proposed as the origin of cancer in the 19th century, and the molecular level of events has been made clear with scientific development. Much knowledge of cancer initiation has become available for integration into research. Simultaneously, the presence of cancer stem cells has been identified and characterized. However, the point of shift from normal to malignant still appears obscure even when taking cancer stem cells into consideration. From these points of view, the advent of cancer stem cells and cancer initiation are briefly discussed as the points of shift from normal to malignant in this paper.

Digital Inclusive Finance and Carbon Emission Efficiency: Evidence from China’s Economic Zones

In the current tide of technological revolution and industrial transformation, digitalization and greening have surfaced as two prominent trends, serving as the inherent requisites and impelling forces of new productive forces. Augmenting carbon emission efficiency is a crucial pathway for attaining green development. Digital inclusive finance, as an innovative financial paradigm, is a significant determinant influencing carbon emission efficiency and the progression of green development. By harnessing panel data from 108 cities within the Yangtze River Economic Belt spanning from 2011 to 2021, this study deploys the super-efficiency SBM model to gauge carbon emission efficiency. Additionally, it employs fixed effects and mediating mechanism models to empirically scrutinize the impact of digital inclusive finance on carbon emission efficiency within urban agglomerations in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The study further probes its spatial effects through a spatial Durbin model. The research findings disclose that digital inclusive finance can substantially augment carbon emission efficiency in regional cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, manifesting notable regional correlations. This enhancement is accomplished by propelling industrial structure upgrades and augmenting scientific and technological capabilities. To enhance carbon emission efficiency in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, efforts should be centered around advancing digital inclusive finance, expediting industrial structural transformation, and fortifying scientific and technological development.

Source and Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Groundwater of Datong Basin

The identification of distribution characteristics, pollution sources, and potential human health risks of heavy metals in groundwater is crucial for the scientific planning and rational development of groundwater resources in arid-semiarid regions. In this study, 46 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed using hydrogeochemical modeling and multivariate statistical analysis methods to reveal the pollution characteristics and speciation distribution of 11 heavy metals （As, B, Pb, Sb, Tl, Mn, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, and Al） in the Datong Basin. The absolute principal component-linear regression （APCS-MLR） model and health risk assessment model （HRA） were employed to determine the sources and health risk levels of heavy metals in groundwater. The results showed that： ① As, B, Pb, Sb, and Tl in groundwater exceeded the Class Ⅲ groundwater quality standards, indicating severe pollution, while Mn showed mild pollution, with heavy metal concentrations generally higher in the central region compared to those in the southern, eastern, and western regions. ② The predominant speciation forms of As, B, Pb, Sb, and Tl were HAsO42-（91.71%）, H3BO3（97.61%）, PbCO3（88.08%）, Sb（OH）6-（99.81%）, and Tl+（94.84%）, respectively, with pH being one of the key factors affecting the distribution of heavy metal species. ③ The main sources of heavy metal pollution were soil migration sources （Co, Cd, and Cr）, industrial sources （Al, Pb, Sb, and B）, mining sources （Tl and Mn）, and natural sources （Ba and As）, with industrial sources accounting for the largest proportion （34%）, followed by natural sources （29%）, mining sources （20%）, and soil migration sources （18%）. The health risk assessment results for specific sources of heavy metals indicated that industrial activities and natural sources were the main contributors to the carcinogenic risk for adults （54.68%） and children （67.51%）, with As posing the highest carcinogenic risk. Mining activities were the major contributor to non-carcinogenic risk （56.69% for adults, 56.97% for children）, with higher risks associated with Tl and As.

Spiritual and Intellectual Development of Young Researchers in the Process of Their Scientific Formation in Institutions of Higher Education

On the basis of the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature and the practice of research activity, the peculiarities of the spiritual and intellectual development of young researchers in the process of their scientific formation were revealed. It has been proven that the level of their methodological culture is the basis of the spiritual and intellectual development of education seekers as a systematic factor that ensures the systematization of cognitive and value-oriented strategies, relevant knowledge and skills, and becomes the core of the personal, professional and scientific development of a teacher-researcher. In this context, spiritual-intellectual development should be built on the basis of systemic, integral, narrative, activity, person-oriented, axiological humanistic, competence-based, cultural, adaptive and other approaches. The functions of methodological culture are singled out, such as worldview, cognitive, prognostic, semiotic, critical-reflexive, creative, and the function of professional self-development of the future teacher, which are directed by the worldview function. In the direction of spiritual and intellectual development, the stages of scientific formation of young researchers are highlighted: 1) entry into scientific and pedagogical activity (comprehension of the basic provisions of scientific and pedagogical activity, acquaintance with the research process); 2) scientific and professional formation (mastery of basic categories, methods of scientific and pedagogical knowledge, motivational and value orientation to scientific research); 3) conscious scientific search (spiritual and intellectual enrichment, mastering the basics of methodological culture, implementation of a research program); 4) scientific maturity (deep awareness of the specifics of pedagogical knowledge, personal growth, mastering cognitive processes and ways of thinking, methodological reflection, obtaining objective research results). The conducted research and taking into account the principles of academic integrity testify to the spiritual and intellectual growth of young researchers, which appears as an effective characteristic of methodological culture, which actualizes scientific and pedagogical thinking and acquires a proactive orientation and predicts their scientific activity.

Comparative Analysis of Complete Chloroplast Genomes and Phylogenetic Relationships of 21 Sect. Camellia (Camellia L.) Plants.

Background: Section Camellia is the most diverse group in the genus Camellia L., and this group of plants has a long history of cultivation in China as popular ornamental flowers and oil plants. Sect. Camellia plants present diverse morphological variations and complexity among species, resulting in uncertainty in the classification of species, which has resulted in a degree of inconvenience and confusion in the use of plant resources and research. Methods: Here, We sequenced and assembled the chloroplast genomes of 6 sect. Camellia and performed comparative chloroplast genome analysis and phylogenetic studies combined with 15 existing sect. Camellia plants. Results: The chloroplast genome of 21 species in sect. Camellia species were quadripartite with length of 156,587-157,068 bp base pairs (bp), and a highly conserved and moderately differentiated chloroplast genome arrangement. The 21 sect. Camellia chloroplast genomes were similar to those of angiosperms, with high consistency in gene number, gene content and gene structure. After the annotation process, we identified a total of 132 genes, specifically 87 sequences coding for proteins (CDS), 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The ycf1 gene in 21 species of the sect. Camellia was present only in the small single-copy/inverted repeat of a (SSC/IRa) region. Sequence variation was greater in the large single-copy (LSC) region than in the IR region, and the majority of the protein-coding genes presented high codon preferences. The chloroplast genomes of 21 plant species exhibit relatively conserved SC (single copy region)/IR (inverted repeat region) boundaries. We detected a total of 2975 single sequence repeats (SSRs) as well as 833 dispersed nuclear elements (INEs). Among these SSRs, A/T repeats and AT/AT repeats dominated, while among INEs, forward repeats and palindromic repeats predominated. Codon usage frequencies were largely similar, with 30 high-frequency codons detected. Comparative analysis revealed five hotspot regions (rps16, psaJ, rpl33, rps8, and rpl16) and two gene intervals (atpH-atpI and petD-rpoA) in the cp genome, which can be used as potential molecular markers. In addition, the phylogenetic tree constructed from the chloroplast genome revealed that these 21 species and Camellia oleifera aggregated into a single branch, which was further subdivided into two evolutionarily independent sub-branches. Conclusions: It was confirmed that sect. Camellia and C. oleifera Abel are closely related in Camellia genus. These findings will enhance our knowledge of the sect. Camellia of plants, deepen our understanding of their genetic characteristics and phylogenetic pathways, and provide strong support for the scientific development and rational utilization of the plant resources of the sect. Camellia.

دور القضاء في حماية حق التعويض عن مخاطر التطور العلمي والتقني

The risks of scientific and technical development arise from defects that the state of the product's scientific and technical knowledge did not allow to be discovered at the time the product was put into circulation. This paper discusses the liability for these risks by simplifying the jurisprudential, legislative and judicial content of these risks, and seeks ways and means that can help the judiciary to achieve its noble goals of justice and relief for those affected by these risks. The issue of liability for the risks of scientific and technical development has sparked a great jurisprudential debate, which has had an impact on many comparative legislations, some of which have excluded all products from the scope of liability for these risks, while others have excluded some specific types, such as medicines and food products. The Moroccan Code of Obligations and Contracts makes the risks of scientific and technical development a reason for exemption from civil liability, which means that those affected by these risks, no matter how serious or minor the damage suffered, are not entitled to any compensation. While this legal position may be justified from a practical and economic standpoint, the principles of justice and fairness do not allow for these affected individuals to remain without compensation. The study recommends that the judiciary should play an important role in achieving justice and redress or at least provide relief in cases in which they are exposed to serious damages resulting from the risks of scientific and technical development; there are precedents issued by the Moroccan judiciary that constitute a starting point towards establishing an effective judicial role in compensating the risks of scientific and technical development. The study also recommends the need to create a national fund within the framework of national solidarity and within the principle of equality before public burdens that aims to provide compensation for these risks.
