Design analysis of public health-oriented based on space syntax in Busan

ABSTRACT With the rapid pace of urbanization, the design and planning of urban public spaces, particularly waterfront landscapes, have become pivotal factors influencing the quality of life and public health of urban residents. However, many coastal cities suffer from poorly planned waterfront spaces. In Busan, South Korea, where demographic challenges such as population decline and aging are becoming increasingly prominent, the rising proportion of elderly residents poses significant public health challenges. This study utilizes space syntax theory, focusing on topological relationships, to analyze the spatial accessibility, connectivity, and structure of urban areas in Busan through spatial scaling and segmentation. Using key space syntax variables such as connectivity, control, and depth, the study evaluates these spatial characteristics. Field research and space syntax analysis of the Haeundae waterfront landscape were conducted to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the area regarding visual connectivity, pedestrian mobility, and social interaction. The findings indicate that, while the Haeundae waterfront exhibits high spatial openness and visual accessibility, there are notable deficiencies in spatial continuity, functional diversity, and human-centered design, which limit its potential to fully support public health objectives. To address these issues, this paper proposes a set of strategies and recommendations aimed at improving the design of the Haeundae waterfront landscape, enhancing public health, and increasing user satisfaction.

Impact of Atmospheric Stability on Urban Bioaerosol Dispersion and Infection Risk: Insights from Coupled WRF–CFD Modeling

The rapid pace of global urbanization has exacerbated the urban wind-heat environment, posing a severe threat to public health and sustainable urban development. This study explores the aerodynamic transport characteristics of bioaerosols in a local urban area of Beijing following an accidental bioaerosol release. By coupling the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model, the research accounts for the temporality of urban airflow and atmospheric stability. A dose–response model was employed to assess the exposure risks to Beijing Institute of Technology personnel. The findings reveal substantial differences in flow fields and bioaerosol dispersion under varying atmospheric stability: the infection area ratio was 42.19% under unstable conditions and 37.5% under stable conditions. Infection risk was highest near the release source, decreasing with distance. Under the three stability conditions, the probability of infection is highest near the release source and decreases with increasing distance. Contaminants propagate more rapidly under unstable conditions, while stable conditions have a higher concentration of high-risk areas. Gender-based analysis indicated a higher infection probability for males due to elevated inhalation rates. This study elucidates the critical role of atmospheric stability in bioaerosol dispersion and provides a robust scientific foundation for biosafety planning, including early warning, mitigation, and emergency evacuation strategies.

From Innovation to Implementation: A Qualitative Study of New Zealand Mental Health Clinicians’ Views on Digital Tools

Abstract The objective was to explore New Zealand mental health clinicians’ and trainees’ knowledge, utilization, and attitudes towards digital mental health tools through semi-structured interviews. Participants were recruited from an online survey about digital mental health tools. At the survey’s conclusion, participants could express interest and provide contact details via a link. One-on-one in-depth Zoom interviews were conducted, lasting an average of 45 min each. Data collection occurred between August 2021 and February 2022. Anonymized transcripts were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Seventeen clinicians took part, and four primary themes emerged: (1) receptiveness to digital innovation, most had used digital mental health tools with clients, observing beneficial outcomes and positive responses; (2) digital technology remains a double-edged sword, offering significant supportive opportunities while also highlighting the digital divide; (3) impediments to clinical implementation, stemming from concerns about maintaining clinical safety and the need to adapt beyond established comfort zones; (4) aspirations for digital technology in clinical practice, encompassing innovative ideas, desire for tools responsive to New Zealand’s diverse communities, and ideas to maximize their potential. This qualitative study gives voice to New Zealand mental health practitioners and their interest in digital innovations to improve client care. However, integrating digital mental health tools into clinical practice effectively depends on overcoming challenges like the digital divide, data privacy, safety concerns, and the lack of tools that reflect New Zealand culture or offer personalization to meet individual needs. It highlights the need for collaboration in developing and deploying digital interventions that are both aligned with clinician requirements and adapted to the specific contexts of their client communities. This research provides a historical (albeit 3-year-old) account of clinician attitudes and knowledge. Given the rapid pace of technological innovation—particularly the rise of generative AI since late 2023—taking snapshots of changing attitudes becomes ever more important as the technological landscape continues to evolve.

Socio-Economic Development and Eco-Education for Urban Planning Committed to Sustainability

The rapid pace of technological advancement presents cities with emerging socio-economic and environmental challenges. Drastic climate change threatens the viability of biologically comfortable environments, compelling urban areas to adapt to new conditions. This adaptation necessitates the implementation of various strategies to maintain the population’s well-being, including mitigating climate change effects, which are characterized by rising average temperatures and prolonged droughts. Addressing critical issues such as water scarcity and extreme temperatures—particularly in Mediterranean regions, where summer temperatures can reach 48–50 °C—requires substantial energy consumption, which must be met through clean energy sources to reduce carbon emissions. Decarbonization efforts must be accompanied by the restructuring of urban green spaces, the expansion of peri-urban parks, and large-scale reforestation to enhance carbon sequestration. These measures, combined with the adoption of clean energy, would mitigate the impact of elevated CO2 concentrations. In urban areas, the restructuring of green spaces should prioritize biodiversity through the use of native, water-efficient species while avoiding non-native, potentially invasive plants. Furthermore, societal engagement is essential in achieving these objectives, with the education system playing a pivotal role in fostering environmental awareness and promoting collective action.

MARITIME ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF UKRAINE UNDER ECONOMIC CRISIS CONDITIONS

The article analyzes the economic situation concerning the development of the maritime economic complex in conditions of economic turbulence. The directions and ways to overcome crisis phenomena, including those caused by the military conflict on the territory of Ukraine, for maritime enterprises are identified. The study reveals that the economic crisis, initially driven by global trends and subsequently exacerbated by the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, has exposed the inherent weaknesses of modern maritime economic activities. This crisis, along with its broader international context, necessitates the mobilization of all available resources—primarily intellectual—not only to identify effective measures for its resolution but also to formulate a new anti-crisis paradigm. This paradigm should serve as the foundation for a long-term strategy aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of Ukraine’s maritime economy. The necessity and prospects of introducing new technologies and innovative solutions into Ukraine's maritime economic complex are substantiated. The possibilities of structural and institutional shifts in the regulation system of Ukraine's maritime activities are explored. It has been established that the exceptionally rapid pace of negative changes in Ukraine’s blue economy is largely driven by its low level of diversification and competitiveness, which has now become virtually the sole prerequisite for market presence. Even before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it was evident that the key drivers of competitiveness lay within innovation and technology clusters. These clusters represent cross-cutting technologies that, due to their versatility and multiplier effect, influence the entire production process. The study justifies the importance of forming a maritime economic system at the macro and meso levels. An analytical assessment of the prospects for implementing modern technologies and digital solutions into Ukraine’s "blue economy" is conducted. A list of effective measures for the development of the domestic maritime economy is outlined. The urgency of making immediate decisions regarding the development of the "blue economy" is emphasized.

Imaging of developing human brains with ex vivo PSOCT and dMRI

Abstract The human brain undergoes substantial developmental changes in the first five years of life. Particularly in the white matter, myelination of axons occurs near birth and continues at a rapid pace during the first 2 to 3 years. Diffusion MRI (dMRI) has revolutionized our understanding of developmental trajectories in white matter. However, the mm-resolution of in vivo techniques bears significant limitation in revealing the microstructure of the developing brain. Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT) is a three-dimensional (3D) optical imaging technique that uses polarized light interferometry to target myelinated fiber tracts with micrometer resolution. Previous studies have shown that PSOCT contributes significantly to the elucidation of myelin content and quantification of fiber orientation in adult human brains. However, the use of PSOCT in developing human brains has not been reported. In this study, we established the feasibility of using the PSOCT technique to reveal brain development during the first 5 years of life, compared with ex vivo dMRI. The results showed that the optical properties of PSOCT quantitatively reveal the myelination process in young children. The imaging contrast of the optic axis orientation is a sensitive measure of fiber orientations in largely unmyelinated brains as young as 3-months-old. The micrometer resolution of PSOCT provides substantially enriched information about complex fiber networks and complements submillimeter dMRI. This new optical tool offers great potential to reveal the white matter structures in normal neurodevelopment and developmental disorders in unprecedented detail.

Reflecting on Digital Art Value: NFTs’ Potential for the Art-Market Parity

Until recently, digital art was perceived as something of secondary value compared to the physical artistic artifacts. One of the reasons for that being its predisposition for duplication and hence the inability to assign “original artwork” label to the digital file and represent it as a unique object on artistic market. But the rapid pace of popularization of blockchain technologies in creative communities through the use of Non-Fungible Tokens has a seeming potential to change the perception of digital art. The ERC721 standard sets a precedent for authentication and traceability of digital artworks suggesting that the old paradigm might shift, and digital art will gain value and attention comparable with traditional fine art. In this article we discuss the problematics of digital art representation on art market and the issue of digital creations’ pricing. We use photo stocks and print-on-demand platforms as an example for pre-NFTs digital art monetization. We then discuss the changes caused by Non-Fungible Token blockchain technology in the digital art market in recent years and the implications that come with the change. We then illustrate theoretical tenets with expert interview that suggest that while successful NFT projects offers publicity and profit to the creators, the level of complexity and unpredictability of results sets a high bar for entering the market.

The Legalome: Microbiology, Omics and Criminal Justice.

Advances in neuromicrobiology and related omics technologies have reinforced the idea that unseen microbes play critical roles in human cognition and behaviour. Included in this research is evidence indicating that gut microbes, through direct and indirect pathways, can influence aggression, anger, irritability and antisocial behaviour. Moreover, gut microbes can manufacture chemicals that are known to compromise cognition. For example, recent court decisions in the United States and Europe acknowledge that gut microbes can produce high levels of ethanol, without consumption of alcohol by the defendants. The dismissal of driving while intoxicated charges in these cases-so-called auto-brewery syndrome-highlights the way in which microbiome knowledge will enhance the precision, objectivity and fairness of our legal systems. Here in this opinion essay, we introduce the concept of the 'legalome'-the application of microbiome and omics science to forensic psychiatry and criminal law. We argue that the rapid pace of microbial discoveries, including those that challenge ideas of free will and moral responsibility, will necessitate a reconsideration of traditional legal doctrines and justifications of retributive punishment. The implications extend beyond the courtroom, challenging us to reconsider how environmental factors-from diet to socioeconomic conditions-might shape preventative and rehabilitative efforts through their effects on the microbiome.

Technology Focus: Production Monitoring (March 2025)

Oilfield operators are paying more attention to monitors, sometimes in real time. Checks and balances are critical to make sure that primary production monitors facilitate a wealth of useful information and knowledge that justifies capital and operational expenditures. This additional surveillance is certainly tied to deploying more sensors and gathering more data. Credit is due to the rapid pace of applying data analytics to deal with large amounts of continuous data. Today, the dependence on primary monitors is higher than ever, so much so that orchestrated efforts are underway to make these nearly foolproof. Often, direct measurements are supplemented with model predictions. Also notably visible are the efforts to integrate multiple perspectives of sustained production. In the pursuit of consistency and reliability for multiphase flow meters (MPFMs), paper SPE 222068 demonstrates an example of how to monitor remote metering. This essentially advocates monitoring of production monitors. As more subsea MPFMs are deployed to monitor extended assets, these need to be monitored systematically. Such a burden does not have to be overwhelmed by the influx of huge amounts of data. As such, dynamic verification of the output of sensors is ensured by using various intelligent techniques so that the gathered additional data leads to meaningful outcomes when the MPFMs operate within their operating envelopes. Continuous, accurate knowledge of production rate and pressure is important not only for field surveillance but also for effective production optimization. A hybrid approach of integrating physics-based and machine-learning models for bottomhole pressure and rate prediction is presented in paper SPE 218762. The benefits of this approach have been reported with the capability of reproducing missing or filler data during infrequent measurements of production rate and pressure. Recognizing the questionable reliability in some cases of flow profiles in horizontal wells captured by production-logging tools, paper URTeC 4054832 presents advanced thermal-hydrodynamic modeling. This rigorous simulation, designed specifically for horizontal wells, helps determine the contributions of fractures and the matrix to a well subject to complex fluid circulation inside and outside the liner. The papers presented for additional reading also show a similar trend in production monitoring. Recommended additional reading at OnePetro: www.onepetro.org.

Stress level and its signs in cadets and officers in the process of training and combat activity under martial law

Stress is a physiological state characterized by the human body's reaction to prolonged negative events, namely: dangers, excessive mental and emotional stress, grief, obligations placed on a person, making important decisions that occur at a rapid pace, and often a combination of several negative events occurring simultaneously. The article investigates the level of stress and the features of its symptoms in cadets and officers in the process of training and combat activity under martial law. The study was conducted in 2023-2024 at the Military Institute of Tank Troops of the National Technical University «Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute». The study was attended by: 276 cadets of the 1st-4th years of study; 71 listeners of the master’s level of education; 103 officers of the institute. Research methods: analysis and generalization of literary sources, psychodiagnostic methods, methods of mathematical statistics. The level of stress and its symptoms were determined using the V. Yu. Shcherbatykh test. It was found that after performing training and combat activity under martial law, officers, compared to listeners and cadets, had a significantly higher level of all stress symptoms and stress level. At the end of the study, the stress level of officers of all age groups is higher than in other groups, with a statistically significant probability (p≤0.001) and is assessed as pronounced stress (in other groups – moderate stress). It was found that there were no significant differences in the levels of manifestation of stress symptoms among officers of different age groups, which indicates an equally negative impact of stress on servicemen of different ages. The main indicator of the negative impact of stress factors is the duration of stay in stressful conditions. The study indicates an urgent need to form stress resistance of cadets during training to ensure the effectiveness of their educational activity in martial law and further combat activity, as well as to form skills in using available means to prevent stress in the process of training and combat activity.

Study to Assess the Knowledge and Practice of Breast Self-examination among Adolescent Girls Studying in Akkamahadevi Women’s Arts, Sciences and Commerce Colleges, Bagalkot

Background: Breast diseases are very common and can be found in most women. Among the Breast diseases, majority of the lesions are benign. This occurs due to various reasons such as infection, trauma, fibro adenoma, cyst of the breast. The incidence of benign breast lesions begins to rise during the 2nd decade life and peak in 4th and 5th decades, as opposed to malignant diseases, for which the incidence continues to increase after menopause, although at less rapid pace. Even so, a woman who detect a breast lump should have it evaluated as soon as possible. Methods: The dates of the descriptive study were July 21, 2024, to Aug 22, 2024. Using the stratified random sample procedure, 60 study participants were chosen. The research was carried out in Akkamahadevi women’s arts, science and commerce college, Bagalkot. The study involving 60 adolescent girls. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire and variables including socio demographic characteristics, Breast cancer knowledge, Breast self-examination knowledge and practice. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze and present the data and chi square test of significance was used to determine association between socio demographic variable and practice of breast self-examination.

Predicting the structure-altering mechanisms of disease variants.

Missense variants can affect the severity of disease, choice of treatment, and treatment outcomes. While the number of known variants has been increasing at a rapid pace, available evidence of their clinical effect has been lagging behind, constituting a challenge for clinicians and researchers. Multiplexed assays of variant effects (MAVEs) are important to close the gap; nonetheless, computational predictions of pathogenicity are still often the only available data for scoring variants. Such methods are not designed to provide a mechanistic explanation for the effect of amino acid substitutions. To this purpose, we propose structure-based frameworks as ensemble methodologies, with each method tailored to predict a different aspect among those exerted by amino acid substitutions to link predicted pathogenicity to mechanistic indicators. We review available frameworks, as well as advancements in underlying structure-based methods that predict variant effects on several protein features, such as protein stability, biomolecular interactions, allostery, post-translational modifications, and more.

Harnessing the Power of Plastic Waste: A Sustainable Approach to Fuel Production

The rapid pace of economic growth has placed immense strain on our planet's resources. Our current reliance on fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, and coal, is unsustainable and poses significant environmental risks. Fortunately, a multitude of renewable energy alternatives, including biomass, hydropower, and wind energy, offer promising solutions. In addition to energy production, effective waste management is crucial. The surge in industrial and consumer activity has led to a dramatic increase in waste generation, particularly plastic waste. The widespread use of plastics, due to their versatility and affordability, has resulted in a global plastic crisis. In 2019 alone, a staggering 299 million tons of plastic were produced worldwide, a significant increase from previous years. Despite recycling efforts, a substantial amount of plastic waste ends up in landfills and oceans, causing severe environmental damage. It is estimated that between 10 and 20 million tons of plastic pollute our oceans annually, leading to the accumulation of over 5 trillion plastic particles. Our project aims to address this pressing issue by developing a sustainable solution to convert plastic waste into valuable biofuel. Through a process known as pyrolysis, we can extract oil and diesel from unsorted and dirty plastic, producing a product called Plastic Pyrolyzed Oil (PPO). This biofuel can be sold at competitive prices, making it a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Both plastics and petroleum-derived fuels are primarily composed of hydrocarbons, making them chemically similar. By harnessing the power of pyrolysis, we can break down plastic waste into its constituent components and convert it into a clean-burning fuel. This process offers several advantages over traditional waste disposal methods, such as incineration. Pyrolysis is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, requiring minimal pre-treatment and producing valuable by-products. Major Findings: 1. Plastic pollution crisis: The excessive production and improper disposal of plastic waste pose a significant threat to the environment, particularly marine ecosystems. 2. Dependence on fossil fuels: The continued reliance on fossil fuels contributes to climate change and air pollution. 3. Potential of plastic-derived fuels: Converting plastic waste into fuel through processes like pyrolysis offers a sustainable solution to both waste management and energy production.
