GIS and remote sensing based analysis for monitoring urban growth dynamics in Western Himalayan city of Dharamshala, India

Ill-managed and unregulated urban sprawl has posed critical environmental and social challenges in the developing nations. There is an inherent need to monitor and measure the LULC changes to balance socio-economic development pressures and conservation measures. Integrating remote sensing and GIS has markedly helped frame intervention strategies in the fragile Himalayan regions. The research proposes establishing intervention strategies by monitoring LULC transitions occurring in Dharamshala, India, from 2016 to 2022. Maximum Likelihood Classification was performed on three Landsat 8 OLI images for 2016, 2019, and 2022 to prepare LULC thematic maps. The geographical and topographical complexities of the region necessitated the use of spectral vegetation indices, ancillary data, and the Strahler order algorithm to accurately represent LULC classes in the form of post-classification correction measures. The overall accuracy was found to be 88.06%, 87.02%, and 91.09% for the years 2016, 2019, and 2022. The study revealed a 140% increase in built-up areas from 2016 to 2022. The findings indicate increased developmental pressures in the 1500 m elevation and the progression of the urban sprawl towards higher altitudes, thereby increasing the risk of environmental degradation and posing a significant danger to the ecological susceptibility of the region. The tourism sector was a key factor driving LULC transitions in the area.

Supporting indigenous stewardship of water: reflections on a decade of water quality research in the Tully River basin adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

ABSTRACT Water quality monitoring programs (WQMPs) are an important means for assessing water quality, particularly in river basins where agricultural intensification and development pressures raise concerns in freshwater and adjacent marine environments. WQMPs, if supported by scientists, Indigenous peoples, and local communities, and if based on the knowledge needs of all rights holders and stakeholders, can provide crucial actions to protect water resources and values. This paper presents a decade of water quality research in the Tully River basin, adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Identification of knowledge issues raised by Indigenous peoples during development of the Tully Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP) in 2008 highlighted needs for a targeted local WQMP in this basin. Subsequent development and successful implementation of a community-agreed and Indigenous-led pilot WQMP in 2012 paved the way for further Indigenous-led research in the Tully and neighboring river basins identified as containing pollutants of concern. WQMPs can successfully be led by Indigenous peoples based on collaborative partnerships to provide an evidence base for freshwater management. Recent WQMPs and other Indigenous-led research in this basin and surrounding catchments suggest genuine and respectful relationships, developed and maintained over time, can support Indigenous stewardship of water. However, they also indicate the important role of locally embedded and trusted organizations, such as Indigenous corporations and community-based not-for-profit environmental management organizations, in supporting these collaborations to produce better outcomes for people and Country.

Spatial variability of cultural landscape vulnerability and influential factors in ethnic villages of Southeast Guizhou

In Southeast Guizhou, a region of China rich in ethnic diversity, the cultural landscapes of ethnic villages are increasingly vulnerable under the pressures of urbanization and tourism development. This study assesses the vulnerability of 43 ethnic villages in Leishan County using the Vulnerability Scoring Diagram (VSD) model, which evaluates exposure, sensitivity, and coping ability. Analyses using spatial autocorrelation and geographic weighted regression reveal distinct spatial patterns of vulnerability, with the northern region exhibiting higher vulnerability indices than the southern region. The study identifies tourism development, protection policies, and financial investments as primary influencing factors of vulnerability, with varying degrees of impact across different geographical areas. The findings provide a robust framework for assessing and visualizing the vulnerability of cultural landscapes in ethnic villages, guiding the development of tailored protection strategies to mitigate risks and preserve cultural heritage.

Groundwater utilization and its environmental sustainability in coastal aquifers of Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka, India

Water is one among the foremost precious of natural resources. In many regions of the world, the pressures of economic development are creating a surface water scarcity. Study of groundwater sustainability– like to remind people that most of the world’s available freshwater is stored underground. The best institutional set up for any country depends on its system of government, its climatic and hydrological context and its social and economic circumstances. Groundwater resources to meet current and future beneficial uses without causing unacceptable environmental or socioeconomic consequences. The methods that promote the wise use of groundwater supplies, is need to determine strategies that promote groundwater sustainability. Groundwater users have not generally had to pay anything like “full economic cost” for groundwater use, nor have groundwater polluters had to pay for clean-up of their contamination. Thus, this study aims to determine the strategies that promote ground-water sustainability and groundwater resources to meet present and future beneficial uses without causing un-desirable environmental or socioeconomic consequences.

Highly sensitive, breathable, and superhydrophobic dome structure nonwoven-based flexible pressure sensor utilizing machine learning for handwriting recognition.

Wearable devices that incorporate flexible pressure sensors have shown great potential for human-machine interaction, speech recognition, health monitoring, and handwriting recognition.However, achieving high sensitivity, durability, wide detection range, and breathability through cost-effective fabrication remains challenging. Through ultrasound-assisted modification and impregnation-drying, dome-structured nonwovens/rGO/PDMS flexible pressure sensors were developed. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity (up to 0.65 kPa-1 in the range of 0-1.12 kPa), rapid response/recovery times (73/98 ms), a wide detection range (0-202 kPa), and superhydrophobic properties with a water contact angle of 166°. Additionally, it demonstrates excellent breathability (514.8 mm/s) and stability (>9000 cycles). With these excellent properties, the sensor is able to detect different pressure signals, allowing encrypted information to be transmitted; it can also be used for health monitoring and motion detection. Additionally, machine learning technology is also successfully used to recognize various handwritten words, with a 94 % accuracy rate in all cases. Consequently, the developed flexible pressure sensor has a wide range of potential applications, including information encryption, medical monitoring, motion detection, human-computer interaction, and handwriting recognition.

The effectiveness of prolonged hypothermic preservation of isolated rat hearts using oxygen, medical nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide gas mixtures.

The possibility of using an oxygen-nitrous oxide mixture for prolonged hypothermic preservation of rat heart for 24h was investigated. A comparative analysis of restoration of functional activity of hearts in the groups of 24-h preservation at +4°C with different gases (O2, N2) and gas mixtures (CO+O2, N2O+O2, N2+O2, N2O+N2) was carried out. It was shown that the presence of oxygen in the gas mixture was the key factor for heart preservation. No stable heart preservation was observed in oxygen-free mixtures. At the same time, preservation in pure oxygen showed a significantly lower level of cardiac recovery compared to preservation in gas mixtures O2+CO (6.5 atm.) and O2+N2O (6.5 atm.). LVDP (left ventricular developed pressure) values were 30±19mmHg and 46±9mmHg, respectively, with no significant differences found. The decrease in LDVP after 24h of storage was 26-40% of the intact control. The results obtained indicate the presence of pronounced synergistic effects of both gases during 24-h heart preservation, which is confirmed by data of marker genes Nfe2l2, Nox1, Prdx1, Hif1a, Nos2, Slc2a4, Ucp-1, Jun, Casp3 expression analysis and myocardial infarction damage level data. The more frequent occurrence of arrhythmias was observed in the oxygen-nitrous oxide group compared with the CO group, and the mechanism of this phenomenon is unclear. Nevertheless, the already medically approved N2O+O2 gas mixture could serve as a balanced choice for future improvements, offering a shorter duration of cardiac preservation compared to the CO+O2 mixture, while ensuring safety in its use.

Integrating Scientific and Stakeholder-Based Knowledge to Simulate Future Urban Growth Scenarios: Findings from Kurunegala and Galle, Sri Lanka

The promotion of sustainability and resilience within urban environments is widely recognized as an essential approach to educating urban communities through innovative strategies and tools. This paper presents a process for integrating stakeholders into urban growth simulation, thereby enhancing sustainable decision-making. Currently, most urban growth models fail to incorporate the perspectives of diverse stakeholders, leading to reduced equitable participation in the decision-making process. To achieve long-term sustainability, it is imperative to include the input and viewpoints of stakeholders. This study follows a four-step approach: identifying relevant stakeholders, developing the framework, evaluating its effectiveness, and documenting lessons learned. The framework involves key steps, including initial participatory modeling, analysis of development pressures and suitability with stakeholders, and technical urban growth modeling. A unique combination of modeling tools and an innovative approach was employed, incorporating the default FUTURES (GRASS-GIS) model alongside the CA-Markov Chain, Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) (NetLogo), the Cellular-Automata-based Python model, and MOLUSCE-QGIS. This integrated approach facilitates the inclusion of stakeholder-based knowledge into conventional urban growth modeling, providing novel local lessons in science, technology, and innovation initiatives. Validation was conducted through both technical and stakeholder mechanisms, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

The Evolution of China's Domestic Climate Policy Frames (2009–2024): Problems, Solutions, and Motivations

ABSTRACTOver the past decade, The People's Republic of China has increased its influence in global climate governance. Despite the strong interest in policy frames related to climate change at the global level, few studies have explored policy frames within China. This paper therefore adopts a frame analysis to study the evolution in framing of domestic climate policies in China over the period 2009–24. Our research finds that diagnostic frames (the “problem”) identify development pressure, energy sector, and the impacts of natural disasters, pollution and ecosystem damage/change as key issues to be addressed. Prognostic frames (the “solutions”) encompass energy system decarbonization, industry reform, nature‐based solutions, market‐oriented solutions, and international cooperation. The motivational framings (the “ideational motivations”), include green development, ecological civilization, the principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR), and multilateralism. The study reveals shifts in diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational frames of the national government across three periods.

Assessing the Association Between Urban Amenities and Urban Green Space Transformation in Guangzhou

This study explores the intricate relationship between urban amenities and the transformation of urban green spaces (UGS) in Guangzhou, China, over the decade from 2013 to 2022. Amid rapid urbanization, maintaining and expanding green spaces has become increasingly challenging, especially in densely populated urban centers. This research utilizes remote sensing data and Point of Interest (POI) data to assess how different types of urban amenities influence UGS dynamics based on geospatial analytics. The study focuses on the central districts of Guangzhou, a city facing significant urban development pressures, to provide a nuanced understanding of these interactions. Employing both Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and Random Forest (RF) models, the analysis examines the impact of 23 categories of POIs on the spatial and temporal changes in UGS. Key findings reveal that amenities such as auto repair shops, shopping services, and transit facilities are negatively correlated with UGS, indicating that their presence may contribute to the reduction in green space. Conversely, amenities like scenic spots and life services show a positive correlation, suggesting they might support the preservation or expansion of green spaces. The results underscore the dual role of urban amenities in both supporting and constraining green space development, highlighting the need for carefully balanced urban planning strategies. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners aiming to promote sustainable urban growth while preserving essential green spaces, ensuring that urban environments remain livable and ecologically resilient.

Cytokine Adsorption During ExVivo Blood Perfusion Improves Contractility of Donation After Circulatory Death Hearts.

Donation after circulatory death (DCD) hearts have to withstand ischemia/reperfusion injury that is partially driven by proinflammatory cytokines and decreases ventricular contractility. We hypothesize that cytokine adsorption during normothermic exvivo blood perfusion of DCD hearts reduces the cytokine levels and improves ventricular contractility. Porcine DCD hearts were maintained 4 hours by exvivo blood perfusion with (DCD-BPCytoS, all groups: N=8) or without (DCD-BP) CytoSorb, followed by 2 hours reperfusion with fresh blood, including left ventricular functional analysis using a balloon catheter. In a control and a DCD group, hearts were evaluated after procurement. We determined lactate and cytokines after exvivo blood perfusion and the myocardial and left anterior descending artery transcriptome using microarrays after reperfusion. In DCD-BPCytoS, the developed pressure (control: 124±7 mm Hg/s, DCD: 86±4 mm Hg/s, DCD-BP: 69±11 mm Hg/s, DCD-BPCytoS: 112±9 mm Hg/s; P<0.05) and maximal slope of pressure increment (control: 2010±39 mm Hg/s, DCD: 1219±164 mm Hg/s, DCD-BP: 964±163 mm Hg/s, DCD-BPCytoS: 1794±205 mm Hg/s; P<0.05) were higher compared with DCD-BP and DCD hearts. However, contractility decreased later during reperfusion without CytoSorb. After 4 hours, troponin, lactate (45±5% versus 69±9%, P<0.05), IL (interleukin)-1β, -1ra, and -8 were lower in DCD-BPCytoS hearts. In the myocardium of DCD-BPCytoS compared with DCD-BP hearts, inflammatory mediator receptor activity/binding pathways were enriched, and pathways for collagen-containing extracellular matrix and contractile fiber were underrepresented. In the left anterior descending artery of DCD-BPCytoS hearts, serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity and wound-healing pathways were enriched, and mitochondrial protein-containing complex and respiratome-associated pathways were underrepresented. CytoSorb during exvivo blood perfusion enhances the maintenance of DCD hearts and is likely to improve graft function after transplantation.

Fragmented forests in highly industrialized Batam Island, Indonesia: A vital pocket for biodiversity conservation of Rubroshorea curtisii (Dipterocarpaceae)

Abstract Rubroshorea curtisii (Meranti Seraya) is a species in the Dipterocarpaceae family that is of ecological and economic signi8icance. The distribution of these species in Indonesia has been reported only in Sumatra, Singkep, and Lingga, and it is currently found in Batam Island, Riau Archipelago, Indonesia. The pressure of development on Batam has caused the forest to be fragmented into smaller parts and signi8icantly reduced the natural habitat of Rubroshorea curtisii. The objective of this research was to assess the synecology of Rubroshorea curtisii species to determine whether the fragmented forest landscape in Batam is an important biodiversity patch for Rubroshorea curtisii by analyzing its structure, composition, and abundance in the Sei Harapan and Bukit Tiban fragmented forests. The study used a vegetation analysis approach employing purposive sampling in 12 circular plots for each site where Rubroshorea curtisii grew naturally. In the Sei Harapan Fragmented Forest, the Important Value Index for the species was 138.01% (tree), 46.48% (pole), 23.38% (sapling), and 27.12% (seedling), while in the Bukit Tiban fragmented forest was 121.79% (tree), 26.67% (sapling), and 30.31% (seedling). At the pole stage, Calophyllum inophylloide had the highest Important Value Index (22.62%). Regarding the diversity index, all growth stages were considered high and medium, with 3,12 (seedling), 3.37 (sapling), 2.91 (pole), and 2,09 (tree) in the Sei Harapan fragmented forest, and 3,12 (seedling), 3.45 (sapling), and 3,44 (pole), 2.33 (tree). The evenness index is all categorized as high, with 0.94 (seedling), 0.94 (sapling), 0.93 (pole), and 0.72 (tree) in Sei Harapan fragmented forest and also categorized as high in Bukit Tiban fragmented forest with 0.91 (seedling), 0.93 (sapling), 0.94 (pole), and 0.72 (tree). The species richness index in the Sei Harapan fragmented forest is classi8ied as high with 6.62 (seedling), 8.06 (sapling), and 5.78 (pole), but at the tree level, it is classi8ied as medium with a value of 4.10. In the Bukit Tiban area, all life stages are categorized as having a high level of species richness, with 6.42 (seedling), 9.26 (sapling), 8.67 (pole), and 5.37 (tree). The study revealed that the fragmented forest on the highly industrialized island of Batam serves as a forest pocket that preserves valuable tropical biodiversity.

Does current forest management affect the ecologic and esthetic assets of the landscape in Poland?

Abstract Forestry in Poland finds itself currently at a crossroads. On the one hand, there is powerful social pressure and concern for sustainable development and landscape assets of forests, while on the other hand, the output function is still important. Forest complexes are a crucial element contributing to the esthetic value of landscapes. The esthetic and landscape assets of forests at a regional or local level are determined by numerous elements. Examples of measures at the regional level are afforestation programs, while at the local level, one of the most important factors influencing the landscape is the extent of clear-cut areas or the increase in the proportion/use of natural regeneration. Forest management must take into account the multifaceted role of forests, in which the landscape function is extremely important. Allowing for a variety of ecosystem services that forests supply can contribute to minimizing the risk of potential conflicts whilst maximizing the benefits derived from forest ecosystems by different stakeholder groups. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a literature review relating to the impact of forest management (with its tools) on ecologic and esthetic landscape values at both regional and local levels.

Karst groundwater conservation based on hydrochemistry and isotope stable analysis in Obi Island, South Halmahera

Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the hydrogeological characteristics of the Kelo karst area in Obi Island, South Halmahera, focusing on hydrochemistry and isotopic methods to delineate the groundwater recharge zones and propose conservation measures. Despite its natural state, the Kelo karst area has not been previously studied for hydrogeology nor exploited for resources. Unregulated exploitation of karst areas poses significant environmental risks, leading to the degradation of their strategic and hydrological functions. This study investigates spring characteristics through hydrochemistry analysis, stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2H), and groundwater mixing processes. Hydrochemistry and isotopic analyses elucidate the hydrogeological features, including groundwater origin and recharge mechanisms. The predominant groundwater facies in the study area exhibit a Ca-Mg-HCO3 − composition, reflecting the dissolution processes of both limestone and igneous rock formations. Isotopic analysis and local meteoric water line examination indicate a recharge zone elevation ranging from 612 to 945 meters. Geological features such as fracture zones, lineaments, faults, and sinkholes significantly influence the determination of recharge areas. Protection of these recharge zones is imperative for groundwater conservation, ensuring the sustained availability and quality of groundwater amidst the development pressures on karst landscapes.

Unearthing Agricultural Land Use Dynamics in Indonesia: Between Food Security and Policy Interventions

Despite its essential and irreplaceable role in food security, the agricultural sector is often perceived as having the potential to be sacrificed in the name of economic growth, leading to significant land cover transformation into built-up areas and plantations. This complexity prompts critical questions regarding the efficacy of agricultural policy interventions, including augmenting production capacity, diversifying commodities, and expanding agricultural land in light of Indonesia Emas 2045, which embodies Indonesia’s ambitious multidimensional developmental transformation. This study employed a system dynamic approach with region-based closed feedback, focusing on four primary commodities: rice, cassava, corn, and palm oil. It concludes that food vulnerability will become increasingly severe by 2045, particularly in Java Island, which, despite being the sole area with a food surplus, is also experiencing escalating development pressures. In other regions, this pressure transforms transitory land from areas growing rice to areas growing other agricultural commodities, and subsequently to built-up land. The policy intervention scenario, albeit less impactful in reflecting substantial land cover changes nationally, can facilitate swift commodity production. This study emphasizes the necessity of intensifying rather than expanding agricultural land.

Determining optimal pretreatment in cardiac surgery: an experimental study.

Heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction are currently treated with four drug combinations: angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitors, beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, resulting in improved survival outcomes. Herein, we examined whether myocardial protection by esaxerenone or sacubitril/valsartan may present a counter-effect to the harm caused by cardioplegic arrest. Male Wistar rats fed a normal diet were orally administered esaxerenone (3mg/kg; Esax) or sacubitril/valsartan (68mg/kg; SaV) once a day for 2weeks from 6weeks of age. Age-matched, untreated male Wistar rats served as controls (Control). Isolated rat hearts were aerobically Langendorff-perfused and subjected to 2min of St Thomas' Hospital 2 cardioplegia (STH2) infusion and 28min of normothermic global ischemia followed by 60min of reperfusion. The recovery of function was measured during 60min of reperfusion. Additionally, troponin T levels were measured after reperfusion as myocardial injury. The final recovery of left ventricular developed pressure (presented as the percentage of preischemic value) in the Control, Esax, and SaV groups was 50.7 ± 6.2%, 68.5 ± 7.4%*, and 69.3 ± 14.3%*, respectively (*p < 0.05 vs. Control). Troponin T (ng per gram wet weight) levels in the Control, Esax, and SaV groups were 166.8 ± 78.1, 77.0 ± 14.6*, and 74.2 ± 36.6*, respectively (*p < 0.05 vs. Control). Oral administration of esaxerenone or sacubitril/valsartan to rats 2weeks prior to surgery enhanced the myocardial protection afforded by STH2 and may attenuate the myocardial injury caused by hyperkalemic cardioplegic arrest.

Performance evaluation of ALIP applying fully enclosed slot

ABSTRACT In nuclear energy systems, annular linear induction pump (ALIP) is regarded as an ideal device for transporting liquid metal. Developed pressure and efficiency are crucial indicators for evaluating performance of an ALIP, and enhancing these fac- tors is of utmost importance. This paper presents a 2D axisymmetric finite element method (FEM) model for efficiently predicting the performance of ALIP and a 3D FEM model to explore the implementation of a fully enclosed slot structure. The accuracy of the proposed models is validated by comparing the results with experimental data, complemented by empirical formulas in the post-processing phase. The continuous and discontinuous conditions of the pole pieces are analyzed using the 3D FEM, demonstrating that the fully enclosed slot structure can significantly enhance both developed pressure and efficiency, thereby improving the overall performance of the ALIP.

Analisis Yuridis terhadap Penegakan Hukum Alih Fungsi Ruang Terbuka Hijau di Kawasan Perkotaan

This study examines the issue of law enforcement related to the conversion of Green Open Spaces (GOS) in urban areas. Using a normative juridical research method with legislative and conceptual approaches, this research analyzes the implementation of Law No. 26 of 2007 on Spatial Planning, which mandates the availability of GOS at a minimum of 30% of the total urban area. The findings indicate that law enforcement in GOS conversion faces multiple challenges, including inconsistent regulatory implementation, budget constraints, weak inter-agency coordination, and obstacles in monitoring and enforcement. The pressures of urban facility development and population growth due to urbanization further complicate efforts to preserve GOS. Optimizing the role of local governments in GOS protection and management is carried out through the implementation of the Spatial and Regional Planning involving various related agencies. The Ministry of Environment’s Adipura Program also plays a role in promoting enhanced environmental management performance by adhering to eight essential criteria within legal products related to environmental and ecosystem protection. This study recommends strengthening the GOS management system through improved inter-agency coordination, adequate budget provision, and the consistent application of firm sanctions.

A Well‐Advanced High‐Throughput Test System for Electrocatalytic Screening Applications Under Industrial Relevant Conditions – A Perspective to Accelerate Electrolysis Research and Development

ABSTRACTElectrolysis is a dynamic research area in which both mature and new promising processes, such as alkaline water electrolysis and electrochemical CO2 reduction, are under enormous development pressure due to their high relevance for the energy sector. High‐throughput (HT) technologies are efficient screening platforms that can accelerate research activities and significantly shorten development times. Over the past 25 years, various HT platforms have found their way into electrochemical research. These typically have one or more major disadvantages: they are characterized by abstract experimental conditions, designed for a specific application or process, or generate insufficiently comparable data. In this publication, we present a newly developed HT test system that enables the parallel operation of 16 electrochemical bench‐scale flow cells under industry‐relevant test conditions. The specially developed modular flow cell can be operated variably in the fully automated system and allows research into the most common applications in electrochemistry for many different processes with a focus on all relevant variants of water electrolysis and electrochemical CO2 reduction. Both the HT system and the developed flow cell are designed to accelerate the generation of reliably reproducible data with high comparability in order to strengthen scientific exchange. The fully automated process control, online analysis and programmable feedback loops of the HT test system provide great potential for the design of experiment strategies. The implementation of Design of Experiment strategies will maximize the testing efficiency of this innovative research system.
