The Current State and Future of the Urban Cold Chain: A Review of Algorithms for Environmental Optimization

Cold chains are essential in providing people with food and medicine across the globe. As the global environmental crisis poses an existential threat to humanity and societies strive for more sustainable ways of life, these critically important systems need to adapt to the needs of a new era. As it is, the transportation sector as a whole accounts for a fifth of global emissions, with the cold chain being embedded in this old fossil-fuel-dependent infrastructure. With the EU is passing regulations and legislation to cut down on emissions and phase out polluting technologies like combustion engine vehicles, the next couple of decades in Europe will be defined by rapid infrastructural change. For logistics and cold transportation, this shift presents many opportunities but also highlights the need for innovation and new research. In this literature review, we identify pressing issues with the current urban cold chain, review the recent research around environmental optimization in urban logistics, and give a cross-section of the field: what the trending research topics in urban logistics optimization across the globe are, and what kind of blind spots are identifiable in the body of research, as well as changes arising with future green logistics infrastructure. We approach the issues discussed specifically from the point of view of refrigerated urban transportation, though many issues extend beyond it to transportation infrastructure at large.

Mobilizing Evidence-based Knowledge for Sustainable Wetlands Co-management and Co-governance amidst increasing Anthropogenic and Environmental Stressors: Key Lessons from Mityana District, Uganda

Wetlands (covering about 1.5–1.6 billion hectares globally), are critical biodiversity and livelihood hotspots. Wetlands further replenish the global economy with $47.4 trillion/year worth of ecosystem services. By jealously guarding wetlands, progress toward sustainable development goals, and livelihood welfare are possible. Unfortunately, despite the promulgation of wetland governance mechanisms, 35 percent of the global natural wetlands have been lost since the 1970s. This could be worse in undocumented or explored wetland zones situated in remote tropical regions. In this study, we bring to the fore insights from 286 documents sourced from Scopus and engagements from 105 citizens in Mityana, to (i) map wetlands (including the current vulnerabilities and threats), and (ii) co-develop a wetlands management action pathway that could create sustainable co-management possibilities and sustainable livelihood futures. Findings revealed that although research on wetlands has increased for the last 31 years, since 2021, it has plummeted. In Uganda, wetland research and scholarship is predominantly situated around the Lake Victoria region. Most research focuses on natural or biological sciences. Emerging policy themes and trending research topics are shifting from key wetland management paradigms. From a total of 105 sampled wetlands scattered across fourteen (14) sub-counties in the Mityana district, critical wetland issues were unraveled. Mityana is crossed by two wetland systems (Lake Wamala and River Mayanja dominated by permanent papyrus and seasonal swamps respectively. Wetlands offer unique livelihood, cultural assets/capitals, and ecological benefits (including cultural/aesthetics meaning). An unfathomable rate of degradation is evident. Anthropogenic factors are the predominant threat drivers, especially eucalyptus planting. The loss of culturally valuable wetlands has increased socio-cultural-ecological grief, such as around Lake Wamala. Micro-level management actions are increasing, albeit mainly around accessible permanent wetlands. Most riparian wetland sedentary populations expressed willingness and interest in the co-management and governance of community wetlands. More robust actions and pathways are needed to create avenues for community co-management. The co-developed the sustainable wetlands management action pathway (SWeMAP) provides seven (7) coherent steps, including critical social science insights that could aid sustainable wetlands governance and management across geographies. As wetlands in Uganda have been gazetted as critical to sustainable development, the urgent co-development and financing of micro-level wetland action plans, including situational inventories could help create avenues for sustainable wetlands management.

Alcohol-alcohol-based draw solute minimizes the reverse solute flux in forward osmosis desalination.

Recently, alcohol-based draw solute (DS), i.e., alcohol with water, is one of the trending research topics in forward osmosis (FO) because of its performance and ease of regeneration. Nevertheless, the higher reverse solute flux (RSF) of the alcohol-based DS hinders its commercialization in water and wastewater treatment applications. This research aims to minimize the RSF of the alcohol-based DS in FO by investigating the possibility of using alcohol-alcohol-based draw solutes for the first time. Three alcohol-alcohol-based draw solutions, namely, (1) E70 + IPA30 (ethanol: 70% + isopropanol: 30%), (2) E40 + IPA60 (ethanol: 40% + isopropanol: 60%), and (3) E10 + IPA90 (ethanol: 10% + isopropanol: 90%), were prepared and the properties (including osmolality, shear stress, and viscosity) of the DS were first investigated followed by the parametric investigation (concerning temperature and concentration). The results were further analyzed with the fixed-point iterative method in MATLAB to obtain the performance parameters. Results reveal that the E10 + IPA90 mixture yields a lower RSF of 40.62g/m2/h and specific reverse solute flux of3.78g/L with a considerably good water flux and recovery percentage of 11.47 LMH and 26.29%, respectively, as compared to other DS E70 + IPA30 and E40 + IPA60 at 25°C. Thus, E10 + IPA90 is recommended as a potential candidate to be used as a DS in FO.

A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF AGARWOOD RESEARCH AND THE IMPACT OF CITES LISTING

Agarwood is a renowned fragrant non-timber wood product primarily originating from the Indo-Malesia region. It also plays a pivotal role in the global industry due to its economic and cultural significance. As a response to illegal harvesting and trade activities leading to declining populations, all agarwood-producing species have progressively been incorporated into CITES Appendix II. We conducted an in-depth investigation into the temporal dynamics of the scientific literature pertaining to agarwood in this study. The evolving trends in agarwood research and the influence of CITES listing on publication numbers were elucidated by utilizing a bibliometric approach. The quantity of research activity was leveraged as an indicator of the engagement of a country, and the status of agarwood research before and after the CITES listing was analyzed. A rigorous selection process yielded 704 articles from the Web of Science (WoS) core database and 1,054 articles from Scopus, using four specific keywords: "agarwood," "Aquilaria," "Gyrinops," and "gaharu," spanning the years 1995–2022. A notable upswing in the number of scientific publications following the implementation of the CITES listing was identified, while China has been the leading country in most publications and research work since 2009 and 2008 based on WoS and Scopus, respectively. The journal "Molecules" has received the most related articles over the years, and the most popular keyword used is "agarwood." China is also, so far, the country with the most related patents filed. The trending research topics based on the keywords from 2021 to 2022 would be studies related to pharmacological effects, understanding the mechanism of agarwood formation, exploring alternative agarwood-producing species from Gyrinops, and promoting sustainability in agarwood production. Furthermore, the discussion also covered potential research initiatives that could address the existing knowledge gaps in agarwood research up to the present moment. Keywords: Aquilaria; Gyrinops; Red List species; Scopus; Web of Science

Efficient Object Detection and Classification Approach Using HTYOLOV4 and M2RFO-CNN

Object detection and classification are the trending research topics in the field of computer vision because of their applications like visual surveillance. However, the vision-based objects detection and classification methods still suffer from detecting smaller objects and dense objects in the complex dynamic environment with high accuracy and precision. The present paper proposes a novel enhanced method to detect and classify objects using Hyperbolic Tangent based You Only Look Once V4 with a Modified Manta-Ray Foraging Optimization-based Convolution Neural Network. Initially, in the pre-processing, the video data was converted into image sequences and Polynomial Adaptive Edge was applied to preserve the Algorithm method for image resizing and noise removal. The noiseless resized image sequences contrast was enhanced using Contrast Limited Adaptive Edge Preserving Algorithm. And, with the contrast-enhanced image sequences, the Hyperbolic Tangent based You Only Look Once V4 was trained for object detection. Additionally, to detect smaller objects with high accuracy, Grasp configuration was observed for every detected object. Finally, the Modified Manta-Ray Foraging Optimization-based Convolution Neural Network method was carried out for the detection and the classification of objects. Comparative experiments were conducted on various benchmark datasets and methods that showed improved accurate detection and classification results.

Investigation of the Viability of Unmanned Autonomous Container Ships under Different Carbon Pricing Scenarios

Autonomous and unmanned shipping are currently trending research topics within the maritime sector, with the promise of a reduction in operating costs and an increase in safety. Although they bring higher investment costs, due to the long lifetime of ships, autonomous ships are expected to bring savings during ship exploitation. This paper aims to analyze capital and operating costs of five different sizes and route length container ships (conventional ships), and under a set of assumptions analyze the same costs for equivalent autonomous ships. A ship cost model is formed, where the typical cost scheme (investment and exploitation costs) is extended by the potential carbon pricing. Carbon pricing is taken into account due to the fact that the design procedure for autonomous and unmanned ships requires the employment of a next-generation regulatory framework. All results indicate the significant economic benefit of autonomous ships over conventional ones. Sensitivity analysis reveals that fuel and emission costs have a great influence on the overall profitability of autonomous vehicles. Although the literature review indicates that reduced operating costs due to crew removal will bring savings for autonomous shipping, results show that savings due reduced operating costs is minor.

Paper Analysis of the Relevance of Place Attachment to Environment-Related Behavior: A Systematic Literature Review

The discourse regarding place attachment (PA) has grown even more divergent, and an array of scholars and practitioners apply place attachment concepts in their work, drawing out associations between PA and environment-related behavior and revealing how an understanding of people’s attachment to place can influence research, policy, and design practice. In this paper, we use bibliometrics and CiteSpace software to quantify and visualize 528 publications of place attachment and environment-related behavior research (PAEBR) in the core collection database of Web of Science (WoS) from 1 January 2004 to 1 November 2022 and trace the main overview of the research from the number of published papers. First, we present the number of papers published, research discipline distribution, the core authors of articles, the fundamental condition of countries and research organizations, and the major journals of articles involved in PAEBR through bibliometrics. Second, we identify trending research topics in PAEBR using keyword co-occurrence analysis. The results show that the four research trending topics involved climate change, pro-environmental behavior, and environmental threat. All of these provide readers with a preliminary understanding of PAEBR, indicating that cooperation and analysis involving multiple disciplines, specialties, and perspectives will become the dominant trend in this field.
