Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the energy transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…From the published contributions, it emerges the need for a paradigm shift that, on the one hand, is characterised by a ‘sufficiency’ approach (regarding new land occupation and new constructions) and a circular economy (to limit the use of non-renewable resources) capable of exploiting the potential of technologies for the new services made possible by digitisation, and on the other hand, relies on new user awareness of the limits of the Planet, pursuable through ‘soft’ urgent actions that are robust, flexible and easy to implement as they require a lower financial commitment. …”

Soil agrochemical and microbiological changes during leguminous forage grass cultivation in the southern steppe of Ukraine by Vlashchuk Anatoly, Valentiuk Nataliia, Kholmurodova Dilafruz

“…Increased use of arable land during the last century has led to a total decrease in soil fertility on the planet. Dehumification processes are activated in the absence of the supply of organic matter and unbalanced application of mineral fertilizers, ignoring crop rotations, minimizing the area of growing leguminous crops, burning straw in the soil. …”

SSMM-DS: A semantic segmentation model for mangroves based on Deeplabv3+ with swin transformer by Zhenhua Wang, Jinlong Yang, Chuansheng Dong, Xi Zhang, Congqin Yi, Jiuhu Sun

“…Using GF-1 and GF-6 images, taking mean precision (mPrecision), mean intersection over union (mIoU), floating-point operations (FLOPs), and the number of parameters (Params) as evaluation metrics, we evaluate SSMM-DS against state-of-the-art models, including FCN, PSPNet, OCRNet, uPerNet, and SegFormer. The results demonstrate SSMM-DS's superiority in terms of mIoU, mPrecision, and parameter efficiency. …”

Estimation of Breeding Parameters from Phenotypic Data of F4:5 RIL in Ethiopian Malt Barley (Hordeum distichum L.) Breeding Population by Endeshaw Tadesse, Peer Wilde, Kassahun Tesfaye, Yohannes Fekadu, Tesfahun Alemu, Rebeka Gebretsadik

“…Based on the usefulness criterion, 16 superior crosses were identified compared to the planet as the actual leading malt variety. Starting from a simple additive genetic model with random mating, we discuss deviations from the initial model and their impact on the actual estimates implying how to design a state-of-the-art cereal breeding program.…”
