A Conceptual Framework of Green Smart IoT-based Supply Chain Management

The green smart supply chain is a phenomenon that has emerged as a result of the development of sustainable and smart business and information technology trends. Sustainable and green supply chains are an innovative phenomenon that uses information technology to improve the quality of activities in operating areas. In order to ensure that activities are adapted to social and environmental needs. In this regard, the Internet of Things is one of the most important components of technology infrastructure for smart. For this purpose, in this research, a framework for implementing a green IoT-based supply chain is presented. This framework is based on the four-stage architecture of the Internet of Things and has been created by emphasizing the literature and the interaction and review of the opinions of active experts in this field. This framework illustrates the direct relationship between data generation and how it interacts with the sectors affected by environmental sustainability and outlines a clear pathway for sustainable and green decision-making in the supply chain. This framework has been endorsed by experts in the supply chain field and can pave the way for effective implementation of the green supply chain with an emphasis on technology in manufacturing organizations.
Response of the IEA Wind 15 MW – WindCrete and Activefloat
floating wind turbines to wind and second-order waves

Abstract. The EU Horizon 2020 project COREWIND has developed two floating platforms for the new International Energy Agency (IEA) Wind 15 MW reference model. One design – WindCrete – is a spar floater, and the other – Activefloat – is a semi-submersible floater. In this work the design of the floaters is introduced with their aero-hydro-servo-elastic numerical models, and the responses of both floaters in both static and dynamic simulations are verified against the operational and survival design limits. The static displacements and natural frequencies are simulated and discussed. Additionally, the effects of the mean wave drift forces, and difference second order wave forces on the systems' responses are presented. The increase in the turbine's power capacity to 15MW in IEA Wind model, leads to an increase in inertial forces and aerodynamic thrust force when compared to similar floating platforms coupled to the Danish Technical University (DTU) 10MW reference model. The goal of this work is to investigate the floaters responses at different load cases. The results in this paper suggest that at mild wave loads the motion responses of the 15MW Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) are dominated by low frequency forces. Therefore, motions are dominated by the wind forces, and second order wave forces rather than the first order wave forces. After verifying and understanding the models' responses, the two 15MW FOWT reference numerical models are publicly available to be used in the research and development of floating wind energy.

Does gender have an impact on the color preferences in fashion products

This paper is part of a project that aims to identify consumers' color preferences in fashion products. The results presented in this work are part of a survey developed in 2019. In fashion products, colors are responsible for adding value through emotional and aesthetic aspects, these preferences being essential points to build a marketable and attractive product. However, through history and cultures, it was noticed that certain colors, when applied to clothes, were positively seen in a society when worn only by men and others only by women. Thus, this paper aims to identify how color preferences in fashion products change as the differences between genders are observed. The survey was conducted with 252 volunteers, 176 of whom were female, and 76 were male respondents; the results were analyzed using the IBM SPSS. As a result, a greater focus on the female gender in pinks and lilaceous hue was understood, while a lower preference for greenish hues. As for the male gender, the preferred hues were bluish, while the least preferred were pinks and lilaceous. It was concluded that genders play a certain role in color preferences in fashion products, identifying socially constructed characteristics through the history of colors as being responsible for those tendencies. It was possible to corroborate the social notion of the female gender preferring pinks hues and the masculine gender presenting tendencies of preferences to the bluish ones and a high refusal to the pinks and lilaceous – seen as women colors.
EFFECT OF LOCAL AND IMPORTED BIOFERTILIZERS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF POTATO

A field experiment was carried out in loam soil at the research station of the College of Agriculture University of Baghdad, using randomized complete block design. The experiment included three local biofertilizers types (Bacillus megaterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Azotobacter chrococcum) and an imported biofertilizer (Nitrosoil) by Iraqi’s Ministry of Agriculture, beside, two levels of mineral fertilization (50% and 75%) of the mineral fertilizer recommendation with use of two types of carriers (corn cobs residue, broth liquid medium) in addition to the control treatments. Three replicates for each treatment were used on growth and yield of potato. The results showed a significant effect of biofertilizer in most of the studied traits. The results also showed that use of local biofertilizer with (75%) of mineral fertilizer increased plant height, dry weight of the total vegetables part of plants and total yield tuber with value reached 73.53 cm, 2.48 and 21.97 Mg ha -1 12.33 respectively, compared with the imported biofertilizer and control treatments, while the results showed that the use of half of the fertilizer recommendation with local bio-fertilization carried with liquid medium was sufficient to reach the best amount of nitrogen and phosphorus concentration by the plants in which the value reached to 2.62%, 0.79% compared to imported biofertilizer treatment which showed superiority in the amount of potassium absorbed to the same level of the recommendation and the value was 1.20%.
Migration as a Determinant of Adult Mortality in Local Populations – A Two-Stage Competing Risks Model applied to Nairobi Health and Demographic Surveillance Data

Classic event history analyses make the explicit assumption of independence between censoring and event. However, when censoring is not independent from the event of interest as is the case for migration in relation to death, then the results may be biased. This paper presents a model to deal with non-independent rightas well as left-censoring, when the same determinants may cause in-migration, out-migration and mortality. The model follows the rationale of two-stage regression models to control for both observed and unobserved heterogeneity in migration. The method is used on longitudinal adult mortality data collected in 2004-2010 under the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System (NUHDSS), situated in two large Nairobi slums – Korogocho and Viwandani – where circular migration is high. Results confirm high effect of in-migration selection but surprisingly small effect of out-migration. There is strong evidence that unobserved heterogeneity in migration is related to health risks. Selection by migration is the most likely explanation of unusually higher mortality of adult females in the slums as compared to males, despite higher risk of violent death for males.

Usefulness of salivary cortisol as a marker of secondary adrenal insufficiency in paediatric patients

Background: The main cause of adrenal insuffi ciency (AI) in paediatric patients is prolonged treatment with corticosteroids. Determination of plasma cortisol (PC) during ACTH test is the most used adrenal function indicator in clinical practice. However, determination of salivary cortisol (SC), a simple test especially useful in children in order to avoid invasive procedures, can be used as an alternative technique for the diagnosis of adrenal disease.
Era And Issues Affecting Buyer Conduct

While assessing an item or administration, shoppers search out data to judge whether that particular item will meet certain models. The fundamental worry of deals suppliers is the ticket to build their buyers' ability to purchase an item. The creators contemplated the effect old enough on the apparent significance and association of three elements known to impact individuals when purchasing garments: value, strength and reasonableness. An example of 160 French grown-ups matured 18–90 appraised their probability of purchasing a thing of dress in 27 situations, in which three levels (low, moderate and high) of every one of the over three elements were joined in a symmetrical factorial plan. For more youthful members, a low cost was thought about an adequate motivation to purchase the thing of dress. For more seasoned members, reasonableness was a more significant factor, while for the oldest individuals, solidness was the most significant.
Supplementary material to "Regional centroid MT inversion of small to moderate earthquakes in
the Alps using the dense AlpArray seismic network: challenges and
seismotectonic insights"

The Alpine mountains in central Europe are characterized by a heterogeneous crust accumulating different tectonic units and blocks in close proximity to sedimentary foreland basins. Centroid moment tensor inversion provides insight into the faulting mechanisms of earthquakes and related tectonic processes, but is significantly aggravated in such an environment. Thanks to the dense AlpArray seismic network and our flexible bootstrap-based inversion tool Grond we are able to test different set-ups with respect to the uncertainties of the obtained moment tensors and centroid locations. We evaluate the influence 5 of frequency bands, azimuthal gaps, input data types and distance ranges and study the occurrence and reliability of non-DC components. We infer that for most earthquakes (Mw≥3.3) a combination of time domain full waveforms and frequency domain amplitude spectra in a frequency band of 0.02-0.07 Hz is suitable. Relying on the results of our methodological tests, we perform deviatoric MT inversions for events with Mw>3.0. We present here 75 solutions and analyse our results in the seismo-tectonic context of historic earthquakes, seismic activity of the last three decades and GNSS deformation data. We 10 study regions of high seismic activity, namely the western Alps, the region around Lake Garda, the SE Alps, besides clusters further from the study region, in the northern Dinarides and the Apennines. Seismicity is particularly low in the eastern Alps and in parts of the central Alps. We apply a clustering algorithm to focal mechanisms, considering additional focal mechanisms from existing catalogs. Related to the NS compressional regime, E-W to ENE-WSW striking thrust faulting is mainly observed in the Friuli area in the SE Alps. Strike-slip faulting with a similarly oriented pressure axis is observed along the northern 15 margin of the central Alps and in the northern Dinarides. NW-SE striking normal faulting is observed in the NW Alps showing a similar strike direction as normal faulting earthquakes in the Apennines. Both, our centroid depths as well as hypocentral depths in existing catalogs indicate that Alpine seismicity is predominantly very shallow; about 80% of the studied events have depths shallower than 10 km. 1 https://doi.org/10.5194/se-2021-13 Preprint.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of clinical pathways for dengue hemorrhagic fever treatments in pediatric cases at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital,

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a concerning global problem, especially in Indonesia. This issue particularly deals with the current practice of therapeutic management for pediatric DHF inpatients that does not follow the standard clinical pathway, resulting in increased treatment costs. On this account, a clinical pathway is expected to minimize these costs and reduce patient’s length of stay (LoS). However, a cost-effectiveness analysis prior to its implementation in DHF treatments for pediatric patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Yogyakarta, is necessary. A retrospective cohort study and cost-effectiveness analysis were carried out from the hospital’s (provider) perspective. The research involved two groups based on the adherence of the treatments to the clinical pathway, namely the conformity group and non-conformity group, and collected data on direct medical costs of the pediatric DHF treatment and LoS of both groups from 2016 to 2017. The Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) of both groups and the Risk Ratio (RR) were calculated as the outcome. The results confirmed that from the 200 patients involved, 138 of which (69%) received treatments conforming to the clinical pathway, while the therapies given to the remaining 62 patients (31%) deviated from it, with a p -value of 0.000 and RR of 1.58. The average calculated costs for these two groups were IDR 1,144,024 + 556.372 and IDR 1,989,723 + 1,296,899, respectively, while the ICER was IDR 826,917. In conclusion, when implemented on pediatric DHF treatments at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Yogyakarta, clinical pathways can shrink LoS by up to 1.58 times and, consequently, save the cost by IDR 919,238 per one-day reduction off of the average LoS.
Model-assisted SCAD calibration for non-probability samples

Increasing costs and non-response rates of probability samples have provoked the extensive use of non-probability samples. However, non-probability samples are subject to selection bias, resulting in difficulty for inference. Calibration is a popular method to reduce selection bias in non-probability samples. When rich covariate information is available, a key problem is how to select covariates and estimate parameters in calibration for non-probability samples. In this paper, the model-assisted SCAD calibration is proposed to make population inference from non-probability samples. A parametric model between the study variable and covariates is first established. SCAD is then used to estimate the model parameters based on non-probability samples. The modified forward Kullback-Leibler distance is lastly explored to conduct calibration for non-probability samples based on the estimated parametric model. The theoretical properties of the model-assisted SCAD calibration estimator are further derived. Results from simulation studies show that the model-assisted SCAD calibration estimator yields the smallest bias and mean square error compared with other estimators.

Climate Change and Corporate Cash Holdings: Global Evidence

Using data from 41 different countries including the United States, we provide novel empirical evidence that firms increase their cash holdings as a response to climate risk. This effect is driven by financially constrained firms and becomes significantly stronger after the release of the Stern Review that improved awareness about climate risk. Results fit consistently within the precautionary motive framework and suggest that firms have been trying to hedge against climate risk by holding more cash.
Constrained preference elicitation

A planner wants to elicit information about an agent’s preference relation, but not the entire ordering. Speciﬁcally, preferences are grouped into “types,” and the planner wants only to elicit the agent’s type. We ﬁrst assume that beliefs about randomization are subjective, and show that a space of types is elicitable if and only if each type is deﬁned by what the agent would choose from some list of menus. If beliefs are objective, then additional type spaces can be elicited, though a convexity condition must be satisﬁed. These results remain unchanged when we consider a setting with multiple agents.
Effect of Experimental Fluorosis on the Surface Topography of Developing Enamel Crystals

Dental fluorosis is an increasing problem, yet the precise mechanism by which fluoride exerts its effects remains obscure. In the present study, we have used atomic force microscopy to image and quantitate surface features of enamel crystals isolated from specific developmental stages of fluorotic and control rat incisors. The results showed a significant decrease in crystal surface roughness with development in control tissue. Crystals from fluorotic tissue were significantly rougher than controls at all stages of development, did not decrease in roughness during the later stages of their development and had many morphological abnormalities. These data clearly demonstrate an effect for fluoride on enamel crystal surfaces which could reflect changes in the nature and distribution of growth sites and/or in mineral-matrix interactions. These would be expected to affect crystal growth during maturation, resulting in the characteristic porous appearance of fluorotic lesions in mature teeth.
Learning and organising for radical change: A counter-history of reading groups as popular education

Historically, radical politics has attempted both institutional and wider social change using organisation as the main method. This article uses this premise to examine examples of reading groups in relation to social and political movements. In particular it looks at the pedagogical and organisational processes that constitute reading groups and how these processes intersect with each other. This is to understand processes of organisation and processes of learning as being in parallel and directly relating to each other. While reading groups often play a minor role in social and political movements, they nonetheless can be significant. This article argues that reading groups can under some conditions and in certain contexts, contribute to the building of solidarity and provide forms of continuity or social infrastructure, in a way that other forms of organisation, such as meetings cannot. The aim here is to examine the potential for development of political agency and solidarity through self-organised study groups. By exploring these little examined group learning practices in different contexts, it might be possible to glean the potential for mutual learning and organising to help to build and sustain social infrastructures for social transformation.
EFFECT OF GINGER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE) ON SEXUAL PERFORMANCE AND FERTILITY OF QUAIL BIRDS UNDER SEMI-ARID CONDITIONS

A study was carried out to study the effects of Ginger (Zingiber officinale) on quail semen quality, sexual hormones levels and histology of testicles. A total number of 108 birds at the age of 8 weeks were divided into four groups, with three replicates per treatment and 9 birds per replicate. Birds in control group were fed basal diets and birds in treatment groups were fed on diet supplemented with 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% Ginger. At ages of 10 till 20 weeks, blood and semen samples were collected, and analyzed. At the end of the trial. One male from each replicate was slaughtered and testes were excised for histological analyses. Result of this experiment showed that supplementing quail diets with Ginger improved sperm concentration, sperm quality factor %, livability% and reduced abnormality%. Also results showed significant (P<0.05) higher semen plasma glucose and total protein concentration in treated groups than in the control. In addition, serum LH, FSH and testosterone levels were higher in treated groups compared with control group. In general, diets supplemented with Ginger showed significant increases in reproductive related parameters, and it could be considered sex promoter for quail birds.
Personal Bankruptcy, Moral Hazard, and Shadow Debt*

Using newly collected data on the balance sheets of personal bankruptcy lers, we develop an identi cation strategy to test for moral hazard in debt accumulation by bankruptcy lers. We nd that debtors who are incentivized by policy changes to delay ling for bankruptcy incur signi cantly more unsecured debt before ling. A large share of the additional debt incurred by later lers is shadow debt debt not reported to credit bureaus, comprising an average of 16% of total liabilities on personal bankruptcy lings. Finally, these results are not present among borrowers with employment, medical, or marriage shocks, reinforcing our interpretation of strategic behavior.
The Effect of Capital Structure, Investment Decision, Liquidity and Firm’s Value: Panel Data Analysis on Telecommunication Sectors in Indonesia

Companies set aim in rising their firm’s value; as the higher firm’s value, the greater wealth for the shareholders who invest their capital onto the aforesaid company. Firm’s value is investors’ perception regarding company’s success rate related to the stock price, since a company’s stock market price portrays investors’ valuation on the entire owned equity. The higher stock price means the better firm’s value and shareholders’ wealth. In this paper, the effect of company’s capital structure, investment decision, profitability and growth on its business was studied. This research population was comprised of telecommunication companies registered in Indonesia Stock Exchange during period ranging from 2009 to 2018. The used samples were five (5) companies. Research data were secondary data collected from idx.co.id and ticmi.co.id by using data analysis technique of panel data regression analysis. Study outcome demonstrated that capital structure affected the firm’s value, meanwhile the company’s investment decision, liquidity, profitability and growth did not influence the firm’s value.
