    Description: The Moche culture, also known as Mochica, developed in the Early Intermediate Period of Ancient Peru, approximately in the 1st and 7th centuries. It was a civilization that existed on the north coast of Peru and in the Moche valley. Standing out for its hydraulic inventions, its monumental architecture, its exquisite artistic development, especially in the fields of goldsmithing and ceramics.During the heyday of the Mochica culture, they carried out very important architectural works, also known as huacas,which have endured over time, becoming part of a cultural and ancestral legacy.The Mochicas had made the desert Peruvian coast their home, but as a result of the terrible meteorological phenomenon known as El Niño, which occurred at the end of the 7th century, ruining the Mochica's way of life, even many of the inhabitants began to fall ill. In addition, it weakened the political organization, since many of the leaders started internal wars, which led to the end of the Mochica states.

    Description: La cultura Moche, también conocida como mochica, se desarrolló en el período Intermedio Temprano del Antiguo Perú, aproximadamente en los siglos I y VII. Fue una civilización que existió en la costa norte del Perú y en el valle Moche. Sobresaliendo por sus invenciones hidráulicas, su arquitectura monumental, su exquisito desarrolló artístico, especialmente en los campos de la orfebrería y la cerámica.Durante el apogeo de la cultura mochica realizaron importantísimas obras arquitectónicas, también conocidas como huacas, que han perdurado a lo largo del tiempo, convirtiéndose en parte de un legado cultural y ancestral.Los mochicas habían convertido la desértica costa peruana en su hogar, pero a consecuencia del terrible fenómeno meteorológico conocido como El Niño, que ocurrió a finales del siglo VII, arruinando el modo de vivir de los mochicas, incluso muchos de los habitantes comenzaron a enfermar. Además, debilitó la organización política, pues muchos de los líderes iniciaron guerras internas, lo que generó el fin de los estados de mochica.

    Description: This reprint focuses on the application of the combination of synthetic aperture radars and depth learning technology. It aims to further promote the development of SAR image intelligent interpretation technology. A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important active microwave imaging sensor, whose all-day and all-weather working capacity give it an important place in the remote sensing community. Since the United States launched the first SAR satellite, SAR has received much attention in the remote sensing community, e.g., in geological exploration, topographic mapping, disaster forecast, and traffic monitoring. It is valuable and meaningful, therefore, to study SAR-based remote sensing applications. In recent years, deep learning represented by convolution neural networks has promoted significant progress in the computer vision community, e.g., in face recognition, the driverless field and Internet of things (IoT). Deep learning can enable computational models with multiple processing layers to learn data representations with multiple-level abstractions. This can greatly improve the performance of various applications. This reprint provides a platform for researchers to handle the above significant challenges and present their innovative and cutting-edge research results when applying deep learning to SAR in various manuscript types, e.g., articles, letters, reviews and technical reports.

    Description: Violence - as distinct from power - always seeks instruments for its existence. for its existence. Hobbes' old phrase is interesting to guide our to guide our reflections in the contemporary world: "Covenants without coercive coercive measures, they are nothing but words". After the Second World War World War II was not followed by a period of peace, but by the Cold War and the establishment of a military-military complex. and the establishment of a military-industrial complex (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) in the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte stated that historical events happen twice in the course of history. historical events take place twice in history: once as a tragedy and the tragedy and the second as farce. It is precisely on this second phase or repetition of historical events that this book is about. The The idea of trying to make an approach to reality studies of the 21st century with respect to the aesthetics of violence, understanding this aesthetics as the presentation of this particular as the presentation of this particular violence of contemporaneity, with its facilitating instruments, its with its facilitating instruments, with its discourses and its practices that make possible the naturalization of a policy that castrates rights. Does this aesthetics of violence in our contemporaneity behave in a similar way to the aesthetics of historical processes? similar to the aesthetics of previous historical processes? Bastide (2006) when analyzing aesthetics, argues that society shapes the reaction to it, and from the reaction to it, and in the same way here society shapes the practices of violence, especially practices of violence, especially when we analyze violence and its relation to gender issues. and its relationship to gender issues.
    Description: Published
    Description: La violencia – distinta del poder – busca siempre instrumentos para su existencia. La vieja frase de Hobbes es interesante para guiar nuestras reflexiones en la contemporaneidad: “Pactos sin las medidas coercitivas, no son más que palabras”. Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial no se siguió un período de paz, sino que la Guerra Fría y el establecimiento de un complejo-militar-industrial (Arendt, 1970). Karl Marx (2010) en el 18 Brumario de Luis Bonaparte afirmaba que los acontecimientos históricos se pasan dos veces en la Historia: una como tragedia y la segunda como farsa. Es precisamente sobre esa segunda fase o repetición de los acontecimientos históricos que se trata este libro. La idea de intentar hacer una aproximación a los estudios de la realidad del siglo XXI en respecto a la estética de la violencia, entendiendo esa estética como la presentación de esa violencia particular de la contemporaneidad con sus instrumentos facilitadores, con sus discursos y sus prácticas que posibilitan la naturalización de una política castradora de derechos. ¿Esta estética de la violencia en nuestra contemporaneidad se porta de manera similar a la estética de procesos históricos anteriores? Bastide (2006) cuando analiza la estética argumenta que la sociedad moldea la reacción frente a ella, y de igual forma aquí la sociedad moldea las prácticas de la violencia, sobre todo cuando analizamos la violencia y su relación con las cuestiones de género. La violencia de género es practicada igualmente por la sociedad.

    Description: Lipid-based nanosystems, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), cationic lipid nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, and liposomes, have been extensively studied to improve drug delivery through different administration routes. The main advantages of these systems are their ability to protect, transport, and control the release of lipophilic and hydrophilic molecules (either small-molecular-weight molecules or macromolecules); the use of generally recognized as safe (GRAS) excipients that minimize the toxicity of the formulations; and the possibility to modulate pharmacokinetics and enable the site-specific delivery of encapsulated payloads. In addition, the versatility of lipid-based nanosystems has further been demonstrated for the delivery of vaccines, the protection of active cosmetic ingredients, and the improvement of moisturizing properties of cosmetic formulations.Lipid-based nanosystems are well established and there are already different commercially approved formulations for various human disorders. This success has paved the way for the diversification of the pipeline of development, to address unmet medical needs for several indications, such as cancer, neurological disorders, and autoimmune, genetic, and infectious diseases.This Special Issue aims to update readers on the latest research on lipid-based nanosystems, both at the preclinical and clinical levels. A series of 15 articles (six reviews and nine studies) is presented, with authors from 12 different countries, showing the globality of the investigations that are being carried out in this area.

    Description: If injured or wounded soldiers suffer permanent physical or psychological limitations, the question of social security arises after leaving active service. This problem has become particularly apparent again with the increasing military use of the Bundeswehr in missions abroad. Since then, the legislature has attempted to adapt the traditional pension system to the new circumstances on several occasions. The reorganization of the social compensation law once again provides an opportunity to fundamentally question the legal concept of the military pension system. Against this background, the study analyzes the constitutional framework of the law on military pensions. In particular, it shows that compensation for physical or psychological losses resulting from military service is not a voluntary benefit of the state, but on the one hand already results from the constitutionally anchored commitment of soldiers to their employer, and on the other hand can be based on fundamental legal considerations.

    Description: When adopting remote sensing techniques in precision agriculture, there are two main areas to consider: data acquisition and data analysis methodologies. Imagery and remote sensor data collected using different platforms provide a variety of information volumes and formats. For example, recent research in precision agriculture has used multispectral images from different platforms, such as satellites, airborne, and, most recently, drones. These images have been used for various analyses, from the detection of pests and diseases, growth, and water status of crops to yield estimations. However, accurately detecting specific biotic or abiotic stresses requires a narrow range of spectral information to be analyzed for each application. In data analysis, the volume and complexity of data formats obtained using the latest technologies in remote sensing (e.g., a cube of data for hyperspectral imagery) demands complex data processing systems and data analysis using multiple inputs to estimate specific categorical or numerical targets. New and emerging methodologies within artificial intelligence, such as machine learning and deep learning, have enabled us to deal with these increasing data volumes and the analysis complexity.

    Description: With increasing requirements for energy, resources and space, rock engineering projects are being constructed more often and are operated in large-scale environments with complex geology. Meanwhile, rock failures and rock instabilities occur more frequently, and severely threaten the safety and stability of rock engineering projects. It is well-recognized that rock has multi-scale structures and involves multi-scale fracture processes. Meanwhile, rocks are commonly subjected simultaneously to complex static stress and strong dynamic disturbance, providing a hotbed for the occurrence of rock failures. In addition, there are many multi-physics coupling processes in a rock mass. It is still difficult to understand these rock mechanics and characterize rock behavior during complex stress conditions, multi-physics processes, and multi-scale changes. Therefore, our understanding of rock mechanics and the prevention and control of failure and instability in rock engineering needs to be furthered. The primary aim of this Special Issue “Mathematical Problems in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering” is to bring together original research discussing innovative efforts regarding in situ observations, laboratory experiments and theoretical, numerical, and big-data-based methods to overcome the mathematical problems related to rock mechanics and rock engineering. It includes 12 manuscripts that illustrate the valuable efforts for addressing mathematical problems in rock mechanics and rock engineering.

    Description: Although somewhat marginal in relation to the other senses, smell is the most potent way of anchoring ourselves to the world. We subconsciously find our place in it by sniffing our body, the body of the one next to us, the room in which we are, the culture with which we are familiar. There is an incessant olfactory flow consisting of bodies, human and nonhuman, that are agents of generation, consumption, diffusion, reproduction and dissolution of odours. As they move or pause, as they cluster with others or try to move away, these bodies constantly partake in this olfactory flow, this dense planetary swirl that leaves nothing outside. The law aims at presenting itself as rational and objective. Smell, on the other hand, is one of the least integrated senses in the legal edifice, in comparison to, say, seeing and hearing. This can be attributed mainly to the fact that sense-making of smell and law are different, even antithetical. Smell operates undercurrent, tickling the olfactory antennas of individual and collective bodies while habitually hiding behind other sensory volumes. Law, on the other hand, has an interest in appearing present, universal, constant. Olfactory sense-making relies on its elusiveness; legal sense-making invests in its obviousness. Yet, the two can interact in most unexpected ways, as this volume amply shows. If anything, smell airs the way in which law conceptualises and contextualises its own actuality. Smell brings law forth by allowing it to show its underbelly, its elusive sense-making that is invariably sacrificed in preference to the necessity of legal impressions of constancy. However, smell’s fragmentary, discontinuous and unstable nature, despite all the ordering that goes to it, poses a peculiar challenge to the law. This volume sets out to investigate this juncture.

    Description: In this writing I focus on one of the factors that contributes to this reality, such as those contradictory positions about the approach to the research problem. The purpose is to note that the positivist tradition, with high degrees of conceptual and methodological purity criteria in legal research, has not allowed dialogue and changes in the epistemological position. I maintain that qualitative research is a fertile field to strengthen interactivity over one-sidedness, the experiential character among those who possess scientific knowledge; as well as social knowledge, popular knowledge, in the integral perspective of the ecology of knowledge, as the study of all existing sciences in the world.

    Description: Non-metallic inclusions have a great influence on the cleanliness and mechanical properties of steel. Controlling the size and composition of inclusions contributes to the excellent properties of “clean steel”. At the same time, in terms of our understanding of inclusions’ behavior using thermodynamics principles, the design and control of the composition, shape, size, and distribution of non-metallic inclusions in different steels can significantly enhance steel properties. This reprint introduces the latest developments in inclusion engineering, aiming to control the cleanliness and microstructure of steel through thermodynamic calculations and experimental work. Special attention is paid to the formation mechanism and evolution of inclusions during refining and solidification in real steel plants, the aggregation and floating of inclusions, and the kinetics of inclusion adsorption by refining slag.

    Description: Fresh fruit and vegetables are considered as essential components of a healthy human diet, due to their pleasant taste and rich nutrients. However, fruits and vegetables are characterized by production seasonality, regionality, and perishability, which greatly affect the acceptance of consumers and increase the challenges of their post-harvest storage and preservation. A plurality of preservation technologies, including chemical treatment (calcium chloride, 1-methylcyclopropene, salicylic acid, etc.), physical methods (low-temperature conditioning, controlled atmosphere storage, ultraviolet-C irradiation, etc.), and biotechnology (such as genetic engineering technology) have been applied to maintain storage quality and to extend the storage life of fresh fruit and vegetables in recent years. Developing advanced preservation techniques to prolong the storage life of fruit and vegetables is of importance for improving social and economic benefits. Therefore, we invited authors to contribute original research articles and review articles focused on the innovative preservation technology of fresh produce, addressing storage problems, such as post-harvest quality deterioration caused by senescence, physiological disorders, and disease, to extend the shelf-life of fresh produce and reduce post-harvest loss.

    Description: This book discusses the manifold applications of several non-destructive methods to a few classes of materials. In particular, X-ray imaging techniques (both in the laboratory and at synchrotron radiation sources) as well Eddy current and magnetic methods are used in a few example materials (metals, concrete and others) to assess the quality of large components and these techniques' suitability as materials characterization tools. Advanced non-destructive evaluation techniques, such as neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, only available at large-scale installations, are also shown to yield particularly relevant information about the residual stress of additively manufactured materials and components. Such large-scale techniques complement laboratory tools well in accessing all the scales of application from micro-level to conventional non-destructive techniques.

    Description: It is about showing that at the beginning of the 20th century in the south of Peru, and particularly in Puno, a concern for Peruvian indigenous Law arose and now, regarding the 200th anniversary of the Republic that we are about to celebrate, it is worth remembering what motivations had the promoters of this proposal, what activities they developed, what kind of resonance had their contributions in the national spectrum. The present work, in addition, is part of the historical debts that the country has had, in many issues that it has left aside , which you have neglected, or have deliberately not paid due attention to. One of them is precisely the issue of original, indigenous, ancestral Law that is now approached as intercultural justice, or legal pluralism, and that is just beginning to be treated as a new theory and trend that should deserve a place in the construction of a new country in the coming years.

Uno de ellos es justamente el tema del Derecho originario, indígena, ancestral que ahora es abordado como justicia intercultural, o pluralismo jurídico, y que recién empieza a ser tratado como una teoría y tendencia nueva que debe merecer un lugar en la construcción de un nuevo país en los próximos años.

    Description: The global financial crisis plunged the global economy into a great recession. Many central banks responded with unconventional monetary policies such as quantitative easing, negative policy rates, and forward guidance to calm down financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic led the global economy, financial markets, and central banks to face even more severe problems. Central banks set up further asset purchase programmes to complement existing unconventional monetary policy measures that have already been in place to help the economy to absorb the COVID-19 shock. The new crisis has increased the importance of preserving financial stability through the international cooperation of central banks around the globe. Managing the expectations of market participants plays a crucial role in the context of financial stability. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to disseminate important empirical and theoretical research questions concerning the connection between monetary policy and international financial markets and to stimulate discussion among academics and policymakers. A special focus is devoted to emerging and developing economies. The Special Issue covers several different articles on a variety of topics from the fields of monetary policy and international financial markets. The contributions address research questions on exchange rates, cryptocurrencies, stock markets, the connection between money supply and inflation after the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of commodity price shocks for banking system stability in developing countries, global liquidity effects, the twin deficit, and the Taylor rule.

    Description: The objective of this book is to publish the most recent technological advancements, and theoretical and practical research outcomes, alongside high-quality literature reviews on wireless power transfer to charge electric vehicles. More substantial research is proposed due to the fast-growing market for electric vehicles, and recent advances in wireless power transfer techniques have the potential to make this technology available for all consumers by overcoming its drawbacks. For instance, one of the major downsides to EVs is the requirement for an automobile to be idle during charging times. This problem can be solved by implementing dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) with a higher power transfer efficiency (PTE). So, this book endeavors to create a major forum for investigating recent advances and the envisioned future in wireless power transfer for electric vehicles in terms of modeling, design, performance, operation, control, implementation, storage, electric machines, power electronics converters, optimization, cost, charging techniques, and applications. This book provides valuable contributions to the field of electric vehicles: inductive power transfer concepts; airport inductive charging infrastructures; the design of a wireless charging system for an e-bike with grid connection; control of renewables; social, economic, political, and technical factors for dynamic wireless charging; the influence of posture and coil position on the safety of a WPT; double-coil dynamic shielding technology for WPT; reduction in cogging torque in a PM brushless DC motor; and optimal dynamic scheduling of EVs in a parking lot.

    Description: The world has never been richer than today. The distribution of our global wealth, however, is hugely biased. Since 1980, the gains were mainly captured by the rich: The top 1% obtained twice as much of the income growth as compared to the bottom 50%. Nevertheless, within economics, debates about inequality have remained rather marginal, despite long-term research by renowned scholars such as Tony Atkinson. Within the public arena, concerns about inequality emerged as a result of a number of developments: First, the global financial crisis in 2008 exposed the risks of the financing of the economy; secondly, 2013, Thomas Picketty’s book “Capital in the 21st century” demonstrated that, against the trend of the overall 20th century, capital returns outstrip the gains through economic growth in recent decades, thus threatening social coherence and democratic institutions and thirdly, the Millennium Campaign presented impressive achievements regarding poverty but stirred doubts whether the most deprived were left even further behind. Since 2015, then, the stated aim of SDG 10 is to “reduce inequality within and among countries”. There is growing consensus that economic growth is not sufficient to reduce poverty, and that our efforts to make it more inclusive so far were insufficient. The very first step reduce inequality is to adopt a systemic perspective, allowing an integrative analysis covering both ends of the ladder. Policies should be universal in principle and pay attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations. Predicated on comparison, inequality reminds us that it’s not enough to study lower earners and the poor. Instead, the term demands that we expand our perspective, scrutinizing how economic value is generated, accumulated, at whose cost, and – not least – how the overall system could be made fairer. “Transitioning to Reduced Inequalities” therefore explores inequality trends worldwide, offers a debate on different measures and comparative perspectives, highlights key actors who either benefited or suffered from recent economic trends, and explores policy options to reduce inequality and thus contribute to SDG 10. The volume considers particularly: conceptual frameworks with regards to the inequality debate; the relationship between poverty reduction, economic growth and inequality; measures of inequality; overlooked/bypassed groups in developing countries; analysis on income/wealth growth for different groups in the global north; discussion about policies to reduce inequality; and further research in the realm of inequality. Transitioning to Reduced Inequalities is part of MDPI's new Open Access book series Transitioning to Sustainability. With this series, MDPI pursues environmentally and socially relevant research which contributes to efforts toward a sustainable world.

    Description: The peasants' struggle to defend their dignity, achieve their freedom and shield their fundamental rights was arduous from the beginning; contradictorily, the marginalization suffered by the Spaniards in the colonial era was minor compared to the bloody exploitation of which they were victims in the republican era, a time where the flags of freedom and autonomy of the country were raised utopianly -ideally for the one who even came in a noble gesture to offer their lives, always first in the battle line of the liberation struggle-. In this context, a generation of Puno intellectuals arose, many of them knowledgeable in law, who from different fronts contributed to the feat of recognition of the rights that the man from the countryside always deserved for his own condition as a human being. This article focuses on the stage from 1821 to 1920, considering the political, legal and constitutional context; as well as in the indigenista movement both in its political, cultural and social sphere, given that its relevance is not exhausted in the temporal or historical aspect, especially if it continues to be part of the reflection on identity as a social group and of general shape as a nation and as a country
    Description: Published
    Description: La lucha de los campesinos por defender su dignidad, alcanzar su libertad y escudar sus derechos fundamentales fue ardua desde sus inicios; contradictoriamente, la marginación sufrida por parte de los españoles en la época colonial resultaba siendo menor en comparación con la cruenta explotación de la que fueron víctimas en la época republicana, una época donde utópicamente se enarbolaron las banderas de libertad y autonomía del país -ideal por el que llegaron incluso en noble gesto a ofrendar sus vi-das, siempre primeros en la línea de batalla de la lucha libertadora-. En ese contexto, surge una generación de intelectuales puneños, muchos de ellos entendidos en leyes, quienes desde distintos frentes aportaron en la gesta del reconocimiento de los derechos que el hombre del campo siempre mereció por su propia condición de ser humano. El presente artículo se centra en la etapa comprendida desde 1821 a 1920, considerando el contexto político, jurídico y constitucional; como también en el movimiento indigenista tanto en su ámbito político, cultural y social, dado que la relevancia de éste no se agota en el aspecto temporal o histórico, máxime si continúa formando parte de la reflexión en torno a la identidad como grupo social y de forma general como nación y como país

    Description: The replacement of the bridging H atom in H-bonds by a multitude of other, more electronegative, atoms has led to the rapidly growing study of related noncovalent bonds generally known as halogen, chalcogen, and pnicogen bonds. It has recently been recognized that elements of the tetrel family (C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) also engage in such bonds, wherein the tetrel atom serves as an electron acceptor to an incoming Lewis base, and that these bonds can be quite strong. This type of bond has the potential to be of importance comparable even to that of the well-researched H-bond, as it may be far more prevalent than has been realized, perhaps a common feature of chemical and biological systems too numerous to mention. The articles included in this volume delve into the many facets of tetrel bonds: the factors determining their strength, their geometrical requirements, various phenomena in which they play an outsized role, and the means by which they can be detected and measured.

    Description: Our era is characterized by two major phenomena. On the one hand, we are confronted by climate and environmental crises constituted by, among others, changing weather patterns, loss of biodiversity and natural wildlife, and ecosystem degradation. On the other hand, we are experiencing an ongoing technological evolution culminating in the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The popular notion of “AI for Sustainability” constitutes an attempt to connect these two phenomena in a beneficial way by using AI to alleviate climate and environmental worries. AI is increasingly being used in the analysis, mitigation, and prevention of the climate and environmental crises and their effects. Much less attention has been paid to the idea of the “Sustainability of AI”, which focusses on the materiality of AI technologies themselves. Indeed, what are the hidden costs of AI? Although we use AI in combatting the climate and environmental crises, does it not have its own contributions to these crises? And, if so, how do we account for these contributions? The Special Issue is the first attempt to address the topic of “Sustainable AI” from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The authors that contributed to this issue come from diverse fields such as philosophy, ethics, sociology, law, and engineering. The included papers represent the first steps in understanding what it means to tackle the climate and environmental crises with AI while refraining from aggravating these crises.

    Description: Primary energy consumption around the world has been increasing steadily since the Industrial Revolution and shows no signals of slowing down in the coming years. This trend is accompanied by the increasing pollutant concentration on the Earth’s biosystems and the general concerns over the health and environmental impacts that will ensue. Air quality, water purity, atmospheric CO2 concentration, etc., are some examples of environmental parameters that are degrading due to human activities. These ecosystems can be safeguarded without renouncing industrial development, urban and economic development through the use of low environmental impact technologies instead of equivalent pollutant ones or through the use of technologies to mitigate the negative impact of high emissions technologies. Pollutant abatement systems, carbon capture technologies, biobased products, etc. need to be established in order to make environmental parameters more and more similar to the pre-industrialization values of the planet Earth. In 15 papers international scientists addressed such topics, especially combining a high academic standard coupled with a practical focus on green processes and a quantitative approach to environmental impacts.

    Description: Populations in Africa are vulnerable to both the direct and indirect adverse effects of climate change that are of human rights significance. The urgency for states in Africa to implement climate interventions while they face developmental challenges, however, raises questions of ‘justice’ or ‘fairness’ between the developed and the developing states. Consequently, interrogating how the human rights paradigm may respond to negative implications of climate change and its ‘fairness’ is important as states continue to engage with the climate change standard setting. This edited volume critically interrogates human rights paradigm as an intervention to secure climate change justice for vulnerable populations; analyses regional protection against human rights consequences of climate change; and assesses emerging interventions based on domestic regulatory frameworks on climate change in selected states in Africa.

    Description: The “European Whistleblowing Directive” (Directive (EU) 2019/1937) is the most far-reaching piece of whistleblowing legislation in history with an unprecedented impact on countries all across the European Union. To transpose the Directive, all 27 Member States were required to enact their own national whistleblowing laws by 17 December 2021, in many cases leading to the creation of an entirely new field of law previously unknown to many national legal systems. The papers included in this book are the result of the “2nd European Conference on Whistleblowing Legislation”, providing readers with a first in-depth look into the emerging field of research that is European Whistleblowing Law.

    Description: Biomimetic polymers and materials have been widely used in a variety of biomedical and pharmacological applications. Particularly, collagen-based biomaterials have been extensively applied in various biomedical fields, such as scaffolds in tissue engineering. However, there are many challenges associated with the use of mammalian collagen, including the issues of religious constrains, allergic or autoimmune reactions, and the spread of animal diseases. Over the past few decades, marine collagen (MC) has emerged as a promising biomaterial for biomedical and pharmacological applications. Marine organisms are a rich source of structurally novel and biologically active compounds, and to date, many biological components have been isolated from various marine resources. MC offers advantages over mammalian collagen due to its water solubility, low immunogenicity, safety, biocompatibility, antimicrobial activity, functionality, and low production costs. Due to its characteristics and physicobiochemical properties, it has tremendous potential for use as a scaffold biomaterial in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, in drug delivery systems, and as a therapeutic. In this Special Issue, we encourage submissions related to the recent developments, advancements, trends, challenges, and future perspectives in this new research field. We expect to receive contributions from different areas of multidisciplinary research, including—but not restricted to—extraction, purification, characterization, fabrication, and experimentation of MC, with a particular focus on their biotechnological, biomedical and pharmacological uses.

    Description: In this Special Issue, you will find new directions in the research on liquid crystal applications. To be honest, we were surprised to find 10 papers covering a variety of application areas, with no overlap between them. The only important application without a related article was “display”! This was exactly the situation we hoped for. In this Special Issue, you can find 10 articles discussing the applications of LC devices or LC materials. The applications are liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) for optical communication, laser processing and wireless optical charging, wavelength selective filters, waveguides, smart windows, LCDs for terahertz waves, LC polymers for polarizing grating and LC material for an ink.We believe that this Special Issue will help researchers focusng on optical devices or LC materials to obtain inspiration for new devices using liquid crystals.

    Publication Date: 2023-03-14
    Description: Throughout the history of our country there were different cultural developments, in this essay we are going to take into account only one, this is the Paracas culture, one of the oldest in Peru, also known as the dominators of the desert since they originated in the north of our country. The aim of this essay will be based mainly on demonstrating that the Paracas were not just a simple cultural development or a group of inhabitants of ancient Peru, on the contrary, we seek to highlight that each behaviourthroughout their period of development had a very important purpose that would demonstrate why the Paracas were a state that had a great administrative and sovereign power throughout the extension of its territory.In the course of the essay, first of all, general aspects of the Paracas state are mentioned, such as its period of development in ancient Peru, its discovery, its marvellous textile technique expressed mainly in its ceremonial and funerary mantles, as well as its architectural constructions. The fundamental aspects for a society to establish itself as a state are established, which according to García Toma and Porrúa Pérez are Population, Territory and Authority or Political Power, then each element is developed in relation to Paracas.In relation to the Paracas Territory, the territorial extension that they managed to dominate is mentioned and, of course, their capital is defined. Regarding the political power, which was considered as a theocratic government, we will explain the origin and the influences they had for this development to take place. Last but not least, we will talk about the population as the basis for the formation of a state, taking into account the importance of the economic activities they carried out. Finally, taking these three points into account, we will come to the conclusion that the Paracas were a highly organised population in various aspects, which would lead us to consider them as a very well-developed state of Ancient Peru.

    Description: A lo largo de la historia de nuestro país existieron distintos desarrollos culturales, en este ensayo vamos a tomar en cuenta solo una, esta es la cultura Paracas una de las más antiguas del Perú conocidos también como los dominadores del desierto ya que se originaron en el norte de nuestro país. El objetivo de este ensayo se basará principalmente en demostrar que los Paracas no solo fueron un simple desarrollo cultural o un grupo de habitantes del Perú antiguo, muy por el contrario, buscamos destacar que cada comportamiento en todo su periodo de desarrollo tenía un fin muy importante que demostraría por qué los Paracas fueron un Estado que contaba con un gran poder administrativo y soberano en toda la extensión de su territorio.En el transcurso del ensayo primeramente se mencionan aspectos generales del estado Paracas como su periodo de desarrollo del Perú antiguo, su descubrimiento, su maravillosa técnica textil expresados principalmente en sus mantos ceremoniales y funerarios, como también sus construcciones arquitectónicas. Se establecen los aspectos fundamentales para que una sociedad se establezca como estado el cual según García Toma y Porrúa Pérez son Población, Territorio y Autoridad o Poder Político, luego se desarrolla cada elemento en relación a Paracas.En base al Territorio Paracas se menciona la extensión territorial que lograron dominar y por su puesto definir cuál fuesu capital. Respecto al Poder político el cual era considerado como un gobierno teocrático, explicaremos el origen y las influencias que tuvieron para que se diera dicho desarrollo, por ultimo y no menos importante hablaremos sobre la población como base de la formación de un estado, teniendo en cuenta la importancia de las actividades económicas que estos realizaban. Finalmente tomando en cuenta estos tres puntos se llega a la conclusión de que los Paracas fueron una población sumamente organizada en diversos aspectos, lo que nos llevaría a considerarlo como un estado muy bien desarrollado del Perú Antiguo

    Description: This reprint presents the Special Issue on “Memristive Devices and Systems: Modeling, Properties, and Applications”. The Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of key computational primitives enabled by these memory devices, as well as their applications, spanning edge computing, signal processing, optimization, machine learning, deep learning, stochastic computing, and so on. The memristor is considered to be a promising candidate for next-generation computing systems due to its nonvolatility, high density, low power, nanoscale geometry, nonlinearity, binary/multiple memory capacity, and negative differential resistance. Novel computing architectures/systems based on memristors have shown great potential to replace the traditional von Neumann computing architecture, which faces data movement challenges. With the development of material science, novel preparation and modeling methods for different memristive devices have been put forward recently, which opens up a new path for realizing different computing systems/architectures with practical memristor properties.

    Description: Nanomaterials are a large area of research at present. These materials, which have at least one of their dimensions in the nanoscale (i.e., in a length range from 1 nm to 100 nm), have remarkable or unconventional properties, unlike bulk materials. These materials are currently used in many applications; however, new potential uses are being investigated. In this sense, there is large interest in their use in medicine, electronic devices, the production and storage of energy, composite materials, etc. The production of nanomaterials is addressed through physical and/or chemical methods; however, most of these methods exhibit low reproducibility or a low production rate or make use of toxic chemicals. In order to avoid most of these drawbacks, the laser-based synthesis of nanomaterials has emerged as an alternative to overcome these limitations. This family of methods use a laser beam to produce different nanomaterials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanowires or 2D materials) using diverse approaches. Techniques such as those based on laser ablation, laser vaporization, pulsed laser deposition (PLD), laser–chemical vapor deposition (LCVD), etc., are being explored at present to fabricate these nanoscale materials with a controlled size and shape. In this context, here we present research papers addressing the most recent developments in this field to summarize the current state of the art in the synthesis of nanomaterials using laser techniques.

    Description: One of the most important aspects of the engineering assessment of the technical condition of structures and materials is the ability to assess the fatigue behavior of materials and structures. In addition, another important topic is the design of materials or structures that can resist fatigue and fracture. Modern science provides us with an increasing number of new materials, from superalloys of metals manufactured conventionally as well as via additive manufacturing to functionally advanced composites. Against this background, fundamental knowledge of the fatigue behavior and fracture mechanics of different material groups provides a convenient platform for communication between different interested groups and fields: from material science, numerical engineering and mathematical modeling to hybrid methods for fatigue life prediction. This Special Issue facilitates such an exchange of ideas on recent developments in the field of fatigue and fracture and is especially focused on fatigue crack growth analysis, the description of fatigue damage in metals and composites, probabilistic approaches and fracture mechanics analysis, as well as fatigue failure analysis and lifetime prediction.

    Description: Universities and corporate partnerships play a crucial role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), presenting significant market opportunities across various research domains. On the occasion of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work in 2021, the International Labor Organization (ILO) urged nations to establish resilient occupational safety and health (OSH) systems to address future health crises effectively. This necessitates investments in OSH infrastructure and its seamless integration into comprehensive national emergency preparedness and response plans to safeguard workers' well-being and support business continuity. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) emphasizes that work environments are continually evolving. Particularly during economic challenges, it is essential to recognize that inadequate occupational safety and health measures can incur financial costs. Numerous case studies also demonstrate a direct link between effective OSH management within organizations and improved overall performance and profitability. This reprint compiles contributions from authors worldwide, covering a wide range of topics related to Advances in Occupational Health and Safety Management and Risk Management, with a focus on their application in specific domains.

    Description: Greater use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) marks a U.S. transition toward a "digital society" that may profoundly affect electricity supply, demand, and delivery. RAND developed four 2001-2021 scenarios of ICT evolution and assessed their implications for U.S. electricity requirements. Even large deployment of ICTs will only modestly increase U.S. electricity use over the next two decades. The more pressing concern will be how to meet the increased need for higher-quality and more-reliable power that accompanies ICT use.

    Description: Pavement materials such as asphalt mixtures, granular aggregates, and soils exhibit complex material properties and engineering performance under external loading and environmental conditions. For instance, the asphalt mixture shows highly nonlinear viscoelastic and viscoplastic properties at high temperatures, and it presents fatigue cracking damage and fracture properties at intermediate or low temperatures. Constitutive models based on mechanics theories have been the kernel of performance prediction of pavement infrastructures and materials. They lay down a solid foundation for material selection, design, pavement structural evaluation and maintenance decisions. Advances in mechanics modeling and associated experimental testing for pavement infrastructures and construction materials are emerging constantly, such as nonlinear viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, fracture, and damage mechanics models. Meanwhile, various numerical modeling technologies are being developed and implemented to solve the multiscale and multiphysical equations. Examples include finite element, discrete element, and micromechanics or molecular dynamics simulations at different dimensions and scales. This reprint provides a unique platform, presenting novel studies and new discoveries in the areas of mechanics, numerical modeling and experimental testing of pavement infrastructures and materials.

    Description: Under the American federal system, most law is cast as state statutes and local ordinances; accordingly, most law enforcement is the responsibility of state and local agencies. Federal law and federal law enforcement come into play only where there is rationale for it, consistent with the Constitution. Within this framework, a clear role has been identified for federal support of state and local agencies. This report provides findings of a study of technology in use or needed by law enforcement agencies at the state and local level, for the purpose of informing federal policymakers as they consider technology-related support for these agencies. In addition, it seeks to characterize the obstacles that exist to technology adoption by law enforcement agencies and to characterize the perceived effects of federal assistance programs intended to facilitate the process. The study findings are based on a nationwide Law Enforcement Technology Survey and a similar Forensics Technology Survey (FTS) conducted in late spring and early summer2000, interviews conducted throughout the year, focus groups conducted in autumn 2000, and review of an extensive, largely nonacademic literature.
