Propriété intellectuelle, soutenabilité et biens communs à l’ère de la crise écologique globale et de la COVID-19
Authors: Tilman Valérie
Published: February 2023

La section deux de cet article reprend l’analyse de certaines controverses philosophiques liées à la propriété intellectuelle et expose, à titre d’illustration, les impacts préjudiciables de certains droits de propriété intellectuelle sur la biodiversité agricole.

La section trois suggère que les droits de propriété intellectuelle semblent avoir aussi des impacts non négligeables dans le cadre de la crise sanitaire liée à la COVID-19 et que les aménagements aux régimes de protection de la propriété intellectuelle officiellement discutés par les États et les institutions internationales pour faire face à cette crise semblent rencontrer des limites. Cette seconde section devra être approfondie dans le cadre de recherches ultérieures pour en confirmer les observations, mais l’urgence de la situation et les implications de ces observations si elles venaient à être confirmées justifient qu’elles soient déjà exposées et soumises au débat.

La réalité des freins occasionnés par certains droits de propriété intellectuelle pourrait donc être généralisée aux secteurs de l’agriculture et de la santé, secteurs concernés par des innovations d’importance vitale. Dans cette optique, les conclusions de cet article plaideront en faveur de la nécessité d’un savoir ouvert et d’une remise en question des régimes de protection de la propriété intellectuelle dans certains domaines du savoir.

The section two of this article reviews various philosophical controversies concerning intellectual property and exposes, by way of illustration, the detrimental impact of certain intellectual property rights on agricultural biodiversity.

The section three introduces the idea that international property rights also appear to have had a considerable impact on the COVID-19 health crisis, and that, in response to this crisis, any proposed adjustments to the intellectual property protection systems in place, which were the subject of official talks between international States and institutions, seem to have enjoyed rather limited success. This second section will need to be developed in greater detail pending further investigation in order to confirm the observations herein, but the urgency of the situation and the implications of these observations, should they be confirmed, warrant that they be put up for debate forthwith.

As it stands, the sectors that are particularly hampered by certain intellectual property laws can thus be generalised to those of health and agriculture, which both address innovations that are of vital importance. With this in mind, the conclusions reached in this article point to the necessity for increased knowledge sharing and to the fact that current intellectual property protection systems need reworking for certain fields of expertise.

Pour un discernement sur le chemin de l’apologétique
Authors: Maldamé Jean-Michel
Published: February 2023

Le succès de librairie de l’ouvrage de Michel-Yves Bolloré et Olivier Bonnassies interroge la communauté chrétienne soucieuse d’évangélisation et les esprits soucieux d’instaurer un dialogue entre les sciences de la nature et les sources de la culture traditionnelle, au premier plan desquelles se trouve la religion. Respectant le projet apologétique des auteurs, cet exposé analyse leur argumentation : quel est le fondement de leur démarche ? La présentation des résultats reconnaît-elle la spécificité de l’approche scientifique ? La référence aux sources citées est-elle conforme à l’intention de leurs auteurs, tant en cosmologie (G. Lemaître) qu’en logique (K. Gödel) ? Les notions abordées sont-elles bien situées dans la tradition théologique (le miracle, la création…) ? Ces analyses donnent des exigences de méthode pour un dialogue entre science moderne et tradition chrétienne.

* * *

The bestseller by Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies raises certain questions for the Christian community taking an interest in evangelisation, as well as those enquiring minds eager to establish a dialogue between the natural sciences and origins of traditional culture, wherein religion is to be found at the forefront. While remaining faithful to the apologetic agenda of the authors, this report serves to analyse their reasoning: what is their approach based on? Do the results presented adhere to the requirements of scientific method? When they refer to cited sources do they uphold the intended meaning of their authors, as much in cosmology (G. Lemaître) as in logic (K. Gödel)? Are the ideas they broach sufficiently rooted in theological tradition (miracles, creation, etc.)? Such assessments serve to provide the methodological requirements for a meaningful dialogue between modern science and Christian tradition.
Des probabilités négatives ?
Authors: Fréché Jean-Pierre
Published: February 2023

Jusqu’en 1932, les probabilités, tant en mathématique qu’en physique, étaient positives. Mais cette année-là, Wigner publia un article qui introduisait en physique statistique quantique une distribution de probabilités prenant aussi bien des valeurs négatives que des valeurs positives. Le texte qui suit établit d’abord brièvement un parallèle entre l’avènement des nombres négatifs et des nombres complexes au XVIe siècle d’une part, et l’avènement des probabilités négatives au XXe siècle d’autre part. Puis il décrit un « dispositif de pensée » qui propose des probabilités positives et négatives ; il en donne une critique. Ensuite, il expose une expérience plus réelle — diffusion de particules le long d’une tige infinie — qui fait apparaître des probabilités négatives et spécifie le type d’événements auxquelles elles sont attachées dans ce cas. Une comparaison est faite avec le « dispositif de pensée ». Enfin, il explique en quoi la distribution de Wigner étend à la mécanique quantique la distribution classique de Liouville attachée à l’espace de phase de la physique statistique classique. Il conclut en décrivant les pistes sur lesquelles s’est engagée la recherche dans le domaine des probabilités négatives et revient sur le parallèle initialement établi avec les nombres négatifs et les nombres complexes.

* * *

Until 1932, in both mathematics and physics, probabilities were positive. In the course of that year, however, Wigner published an article that introduced a probability distribution which incorporated negative values along with positive ones into quantum statistical physics. The present article opens by drawing a succinct parallel between the emergence of negative numbers and complex numbers in the 16th century, on the one hand, and the advent of negative probabilities in the 20th century, on the other hand. It then goes on to describe a “thought model” offering positive and negative probabilities, which is evaluated. Next, a more concrete experiment is addressed — the diffusion of particles along an infinite line —, which reveals the negative probabilities and specifies to which events these are linked in this particular case. This experiment is then compared to the “thought model”. Lastly, an explanation of how the Wigner distribution extends to quantum mechanics, through the standard Liouville distribution associated with the phase space of mainstream statistical physics, is presented. The conclusion expounds upon the various paths of research within the field of negative probabilities, and revisits the initial parallel established between negative numbers and complex numbers.

Effects of Crude Plant Extracts from Five Parts of Melia azedarach on Tribolium confusum
Authors: Omar Muzafar K. , Muhammad Hanaa A. , Mirkhan Sawan M.
Published: February 2023

Tribolium confusum is one of the most common pests of many commodities, especially cereals and their products. These pests are known for being the most destructive insect pests attacking and infesting stored flour and grain in soil, warehouses, grocery stores, and homes. Therefore, this study aims to control these pests with an environmentally friendly, healthier, and cost-effective pesticide instead of the common artificial chemicals to practice the current management of cereal storage pest control in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. For this to be achieved, the toxicity effect of crude plant extracts from five different parts of Melia azedarach in tap water with concentrations of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% at different times (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 h) against stored-product insect was tested. The toxicity effect of these extracts varied based on the crude plant part extracts, concentrations, and exposure period according to the SAS system investigation on the mortality rate of T. confusum adults (Duncan test). The extracts’ compatibility with treated adults of T. confusum in the clear petri dish was noted. Besides, the number of dead adults was measured by loss of motion.
Mechanical Analyses and Derivations of Money Velocity
Authors: SACCAL Alessandro
Published: February 2023

Abstract. The equation of exchange is derived from a standpoint encompassing the physics and economics thereof, whereby the maximisation of a money value function, increasing in real output and decreasing in the real money supply, while accounting for time and space, subjected to a money constraint, at the macroeconomic level, gives rise to an optimal level of real output thereby, expressing the liquidity demand coefficient as the inverse quotient of space over time. The fusion of such a liquidity demand coefficient expression with the money constraint, which is the equilibrium Cambridge equation, in turn gives rise to an equation for space, being the position of money, whose differentiation is precisely instantaneous money velocity and thence the exchange equation as presented by Fisher. The present analysis also derives money position on account of non-constant instantaneous money velocity as instantiated by Fisher, advancing a framework for the macroeconomy’s general money value function and money constraint in the process. It likewise advances simulations of non-constant average and instantaneous money velocity, with a particular application to a stylised closed macroeconomy. It finally proceeds to remodel instantaneous money velocity through the use of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the money equations of motion, both generally, by letting the sum of the three equal a corrected exponential random walk with drift, and through a money force model, of free accumulation with financial assets resistance. This work thus remarks in sum that money velocity as customarily calculated, taught and understood is not univocal.
TeleNGAGE: Enhancing Collaboration Between Families and Schools
Authors: Curry Katherine , Harris Ed , Olsen Jentre , Kim Younglong , Egure Dominic
Published: February 2023

Findings in the literature strongly support the importance of family engagement in education. However, effective partnerships between families and schools are rare, especially in ethnically diverse communities where families may lack efficacy or face structural challenges for engagement. Additionally, educator perspectives toward engagement are often framed by White, middle-class paradigms. Educators often fail to acknowledge structural challenges faced by low-income families or the cultural contributions low-income and/or minoritized families can bring. To facilitate engagement between families and schools, a new ECHO® line, TeleNGAGE, was developed at Oklahoma State University, Educational Leadership program. ECHO®, traditionally used in the field of medicine, has utility for professional development for educators because it offers a platform for case-based learning where real problems are addressed in real-time. Additionally, didactic presentations provide professional development for collaborative learning. Through the lens of Communities of Practice (CoP), this qualitative case study explores how relationships between families and schools changed as a result of participation in TeleNGAGE. Tenets of CoP, negotiated meaning, mutual engagement, and a shared repertoire, support a collaborative approach to addressing complex problems. Findings suggest that a CoP has emerged through TeleNGAGE and has resulted in changes in perspectives across families and educational leaders about “what it means to be engaged,” enhanced family efficacy for engagement, and changes in engagement practice as family voice has expanded through sharing of concerns/perspectives. These findings have important implications for equitable engagement in a convenient, cost-free environment where educators and families can communicate and develop mutually supportive understandings and practices.
Políticas de educação integral no Brasil do século XXI: Metapesquisa da produção científica publicada em periódicos (2001-2020)
Authors: Silva Roberto Rafael Dias da , Scherer Renata Porcher
Published: February 2023

O presente artigo deriva-se de uma investigação que objetivou compreender os variados sentidos formativos advindos das políticas de educação integral implementadas pelo Estado brasileiro nas duas primeiras décadas do século XXI. A pesquisa foi organizada a partir de uma metapesquisa que abrangeu a produção científica brasileira em periódicos. Após uma incursão genealógica na história do conceito, apresentada na primeira seção, foram mapeados alguns sentidos predominantes acerca da noção de educação integral na Modernidade Pedagógica. Posteriormente, são explicitados os procedimentos investigativos que foram mobilizados para a realização da metapesquisa. Por fim, são apresentadas as quatro tendências investigativas que predominaram no debate acadêmico sobre as políticas de educação integral, quais sejam: a) tempos escolares e a integralidade educativa; b) políticas e gestão da escola integral; c) territórios e comunidades educativas; d) currículos, saberes e práticas pedagógicas.
Preliminary Observation of Biogas Production from a Mixture of Cattle Manure and Bagasse Residue in Different Composition Variations

The need of renewable energy is paramount important as it is expected to replace fossil energy. One of renewable energy commonly used for rural area is biomass-based energy. Biogas is a biomass-based energy where organic materials are converted to methane gas via anaerobic digestion process. The limitations of mono-feedstock biogas are instability digestion process, low yield biogas produced and require readjusting C/N ratio, therefore co-digestion process was proposed to overcome these problems. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of anaerobic co-digestion of a mixture of cattle manure and bagasse residue in different weight ratio combinations. Biogas was generated by anaerobic digestion using a mixed substrate composed of a combination of weight ratios of bagasse:cattle manure (1:5, 1:2, 1:1, and 3:1). The kinetic analysis was evaluated by fitting Gompertz and Logistic model to experimental data of cumulative biogas. The result showed that the combination of 1:5 ratio of bagasse waste to cattle manure obtained the best biogas yield with cumulative biogas at 31,000 mL. The kinetic model of Gompertz and Logistic were able to predict the maximum cumulative biogas at ratio of 1:5 (cattle: bagasse) at 31,157.66 mL and 30,112.12 mL, respectively. The other predictions of kinetic parameters were maximum biogas production rate (Rm)= 1,720.45 mL/day and 1,652.31 mL/day for Gompertz and Logistic model, respectively. Lag periods were obtained at 2.403 day and 2.612 day for Gompertz and Logistic model, respectively. The potential power generation of 338.71 Watt has been estimated from biogas. This research has proven a positive feasibility of co-digestion of two feed-stocks (cattle manure and bagasse) for biogas production.
Asceza, akrobacja, aleturgia. O konwersji w literaturze
Authors: Bielawa Jacek
Published: February 2023

Using the concepts of Michel Foucault’s technologies of the Self and Peter Sloterdijk’s anthropotechnics, the article attempts to create a theoretical model of literature as a tool for converting a literary subject. This model distinguishes three forms of the Self that are revealed in the process of conversion carried out in the medium of literature: the Self as subject, the Self as object and the other Self. Within the relations between these three incarnations, three conversion processes have been distinguished: asceticism – understood as an exercise in writing, acrobatics – as an act of literary secession to another world, and alethurgy – a textual technique of self-knowledge. Ultimately, this theoretical model is presented in the form of a conversion triangle.
W świecie brzmień, Sienkiewiczowskich postaci i wartości (arcydzieł): z Profesorem Andrzejem Stoffem rozmawia Beata Garlej
Authors: Garlej Beata
Published: February 2023

This is a transcript of a conversation with Andrzej Stoff, for whom Roman Witold Ingarden’s philosophical thought on art and literature is a source of inspiration for his research. The interview presents a few issues representative of the analyses of the Toruń-based scholar, arising from Ingarden’s theory of literary work, which for the interlocutor turns out to be an “open” theory, also encouraging today’s literary scholars and literary theorists to continue and deepen the assumptions adopted by Stoff when considering the problems of the ontology and axiology of a literary work.
Literaturoznawcza analiza/interpretacja krytyczna: Józef Tischner Myślenie z wnętrza metafory versus Bartłomiej Maliszewski Metafora i aksjologia wzorzec człowieka w renesansowej literaturze parenetycznej
Authors: Obremski Krzysztof
Published: February 2023

Józef Tischner’s Myślenie z wnętrza metafory [Thinking From Within the Metaphor] and Bartłomiej Maliszewski’s Metafora i aksjologia [Metaphor and Axiology] are texts that are both described (analysed) and interpreted here. However, the debatability of the dual understanding of metaphor (‘inside’ – ‘outside’) is only a preliminary difficulty. For it will be incomparably more important that when we read Thinking From Within the Metaphor, then we will not find an explanation of the authorial meaning attributed to the after all key term of his text, and this is by no means a coincidence. The fundamental opposition – unambiguous genre language versus axiological and agathological analogical (metaphorical, symbolic) language – is certainly a persuasive construction, but not necessarily a valid one. A fundamental literary problem: is the Platonic cave really a metaphor? In Bartłomiej Maliszewski’s book Metafora i aksjologia wzorzec człowieka w renesansowej literaturze parenetycznej [Metaphor and Axiology. The Model of Man in Renaissance Parenetic Literature], ‘metaphor’ is equated with the ‘figurative’. There would be nothing reprehensible in this if not for the fact that these two key terms in the book co-create a state of approximate numerical equilibrium, while (and this is more important) proving to be both identical and disjointed. The lack of a definition of ‘metaphor’ and ‘figurative’ makes the whole impressive argument resemble a colossus standing on two legs of clay, over which it stumbles as they become entangled. The legitimacy of the combined view of Thinking From Within the Metaphor and Metaphor and Axiology is contained primarily in the fact that Renaissance parenesis can be seen as one of the historical forms of agathology.
„Rojenia międzyanatomiczne” i „anagramy ciała”: Konstanty A. Jeleński i prace Hansa Bellmera
Authors: Swoboda Bartosz
Published: February 2023

The aim of this article is to discuss and analyze an extensive essay by Konstanty A. Jeleński, entitled Bellmer albo anatomia miłości fizycznej i nieświadomości [Bellmer or the anatomy of physical love and the unconsciousness], devoted to the works of Hans Bellmer, a German painter, drawer and writer. The article presents the scope and nature of artistic activities undertaken by Bellmer and the way in which these activities and works were described and interpreted by Jeleński. The aim of the article is to show the basic contexts in which Jeleński placed controversial and ambiguous works by the German artist. The article also mentions the main interpretative keys Jeleński uses to show the creative philosophy and uncover the secrets of artistic expression, especially the mechanisms of perceiving the body and visual manifestations of unconsciousness which come to the fore in Bellmer’s works.
Koniec wieku poetów? O zszyciach literatury i filozofii
Authors: Zawadzki Andrzej
Published: February 2023

The article presents an attempt to outline, from a mainly typological and partly historical perspective,  what the author considers the most important varieties of the relationship between philosophy and literature (which is, of course, understood here in a working and broad sense, as poesis). In the first of these varieties, for which the fundamental significance is Plato’s gesture of excluding poets from the state, the philosophical logos defines itself in opposition to literature, or mythos. In the second, which appears to predominate from Aristotle to the 18th century, the relationship between philosophy and literature takes on a more neutral character: the former provides the latter with motifs, themes, topics, mainly related to moral philosophy in the broadest sense, while the latter provides the former with discursive modes, such as genre. Modern aesthetics and the philosophy and theory of literature (fundamentally different from the tradition of the great poets and rhetoricians of the 16th and 17th centuries), which emerged together with transcendental philosophy and its reception in German Romanticism, contributed both to the increased interest among philosophers in literature and to a clear embedding, or even closing, of literature in philosophical notions, which originated mainly in the tradition of transcendentalism and dialectical thought. Finally, the beginning of the twentieth century is distinguished, in most of the major continental philosophical traditions, by a tendency to seek, or to find, in literature the most important partner of philosophical thinking, and sometimes even the identity of philosophy.

This article is an attempt to interpret the novel Gniazdo światów (Nest of Worlds) by Marek S. Huberath. Contrary to appearances, this novel does not fit into the science fiction convention, nor does it implement dystopian schemes without reservations. Instead, the novel uses a repertoire of postmodern tricks and emphasizes the cryptotheological background. These themes can be read through the reference to transhistoric, gnostic world-feeling, and hermetic speculation. Therefore, Huberath’s novel appears as a meta-dystopia from which self-salvation can be an appropriate interpretation of the world around us.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to compare the results of five methods for the determination of total 25(OH)D. For that purpose, two mass spectrometry and three immunoassay methods were used.

Methods

A total of 124 serum samples were analyzed on five different methods (i.e., a reference LC-MS/MS, Cascadion, Lumipulse, Roche Elecsys II and Roche Elecsys III). Analytical performance against LC-MS/MS was evaluated and compared to the Milan models 1 (analytical performance based on the clinical outcome using thresholds of 12, 20 and 30 ng/mL) and 2 (analytical performance based on biological variation). Additionally, imprecision studies and accuracy using NIST SRM972a samples were carried out.

Results

Compared to the reference LC-MS/MS method, the Lumipulse and the Roche Elecsys III assays reached the optimal criterion for bias, while the Cascadion met the desirable one. The Roche Elecsys II was not able to reach the minimal criteria. The proportion of correctly classified patients was higher using the Cascadion (95.2%) compared to the three immunoassays. In addition to its better precision, the Cascadion was not impacted by a high concentration of 3-epi-25(OH)D3 compared to the three immunoassays.

Conclusions

Compared to the LC-MS/MS reference method, the Cascadion presented the highest level of concordance at medical decision cut-offs for total 25(OH)D and reached the desirable specification for bias. Moreover, the presence of 3-epi-25(OH)D3 in enriched samples was only problematic in immunoassay methods, and especially considering Roche Elecsys methods. The release of performant fully automated mass spectrometry assays with high throughput might therefore facilitate the wide scale adoption of LC-MS/MS, even in non-specialized clinical laboratories.

Authors: Franz Michael M. , Ridout Travis N. , Fowler Erika Franklin

This analysis focuses on broadcast advertising spending in congressional races in 2022. We discuss four patterns that characterized ads in these races. First, there was a record volume of television advertising for a midterm election. Despite frequent claims that traditional ads would begin to decline, the air war featured more spots than in 2014 and 2018. Second, Democrats continued to dominate ad totals, a trend that persisted from congressional elections in 2020 and 2018. Third, the agenda shifted to a discussion of abortion and inflation, two issues that were barely mentioned in political ads in prior cycles. Finally, outside groups remained a dominant force in many campaigns, but while their investments in prior cycles tended to be focused on Senate races, groups were also heavily involved in House races in 2022. Outside groups sponsored about 35% of all ads in House races, and they sponsored about 40% of ads in Senate races, both record highs. All told, television remains central to American elections. With each passing election, some aspects of the air war change, but the ubiquitous 30 s spot continues to be a go-to method of appealing to voters.

Published: February 2023

This paper presents the robust and stable difference scheme to estimate singularly perturbed Sobolev boundary value problems with Robin type boundary condition.
Firstly, the asymptotic behavior of the solution is analyzed.
By using interpolating quadrature rules and basis functions, a completely exponentially fitted tree-level difference scheme is constructed on the uniform mesh.
Then an error estimation is investigated in a discrete energy norm.
Two numerical examples are solved and the computational results are tabulated.

Behavior of Jointed Rock Specimens Reinforced with Bolts under Uniaxial Compression

Published: February 2023

Discontinuously jointed rock mass is very common in rock engineering, and it has the characteristics of discontinuity, inhomogeneity, and anisotropy. Bolt has been an economic and effective technique to support underground rock mass, but the understanding of the bolt reinforcement mechanism to jointed rock mass remains limited. Uniaxial compression test of multi-joint reinforced rock specimen was carried out with a fully grouting bolt. The mechanical properties and failure modes of these specimens are investigated. The experimental results show that the rock bolts can significantly improve the strength of jointed rock-like specimens. When the joint angle is 30° and the anchorage angle is 0°, the peak strength of the specimen increased by 80.76 %, and Young’s modulus increased by 117.83 %. The peak strength of the bolted rock-like specimen decreases with the increase of anchorage angle and increases with the increase of joint angle. The stress at the onset of dilatancy of the rock specimens clearly increases after the rock bolt is applied, and it decreases as the anchorage angle increases. The rock-like specimens after bolting show better ductility and integrity, and the specimens show apparent volumetric dilatation during failure. A strain-softening model of rock and the pile element in FLAC3D are used to carry out numerical simulations (Itasca Consulting Group, Inc. 2012). The mechanical characteristics obtained by the simulation are consistent with the laboratory results.
Spontaneous Activity Patterns in Human Attention Networks Code for Hand Movements

Published: February 2023

Recent evidence suggests that, in the absence of any task, spontaneous brain activity patterns and connectivity in the visual and motor cortex code for natural stimuli and actions, respectively. These “resting-state” activity patterns may underlie the maintenance and consolidation (replay) of information states coding for ecological stimuli and behaviors. In this study, we examine whether replay patterns occur in resting-state activity in association cortex grouped into high-order cognitive networks not directly processing sensory inputs or motor outputs. Fifteen participants (7 females) performed four hand movements during an fMRI study. Three movements were ecological. The fourth movement as control was less ecological. Before and after the task scans, we acquired resting-state fMRI scans. The analysis examined whether multivertex task activation patterns for the four movements computed at the cortical surface in different brain networks resembled spontaneous activity patterns measured at rest. For each movement, we computed a vector ofrvalues indicating the strength of the similarity between the mean task activation pattern and frame-by-frame resting-state patterns. We computed a cumulative distribution function ofr2values and used the 90th percentile cutoff value for comparison. In the dorsal attention network, resting-state patterns were more likely to match task patterns for the ecological movements than the control movement. In contrast, rest-task pattern correlation was more likely for less ecological movement in the ventral attention network. These findings show that spontaneous activity patterns in human attention networks code for hand movements.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTfMRI indirectly measures neural activity noninvasively. Resting-state (spontaneous) fMRI signals measured in the absence of any task resemble signals evoked by task performance both in topography and inter-regional (functional) connectivity. However, the function of spontaneous brain activity is unknown. We recently showed that spatial activity patterns evoked by visual and motor tasks in visual and motor cortex, respectively, occur at rest in the absence of any stimulus or response. Here we show that activity patterns related to hand movements replay at rest in frontoparietal regions of the human attention system. These findings show that spontaneous activity in the human cortex may mediate the maintenance and consolidation of information states coding for ecological stimuli and behaviors.

Room temperature one-step electrodeposition of chalcogenide CZTS followed by annealing at different temperatures was studied. The scanning electron microscopy images of the deposits confirmed the presence of agglomerated particles in the deposits. The deposits annealed at 400°C did not show the presence of voids whereas deposits annealed at 500°C showed severe sulfur loss and were off-stoichiometric. Annealing at 400°C resulted in the deposits of compositions closer to the required ratio. Good absorbance over the entire visible range makes both the annealed deposits suitable absorber materials for thin-film photovoltaic cells. Current-voltage characteristics resulted in Ohmic trend and the slope of the plot increased with annealing temperature. The deposits showed good photosensitive behavior where resistance decreased upon shining the light source. The Mott-Schottky plot showed that the deposits were made of positively charged particles.

Investigation on the performance of monoclinic phase copper tin sulfide (CTS) based thin film solar cells has been carried out numerically by AMPS-1D simulation software. Based on proposed cell structure, the influence of carrier concentration and thickness of both absorber and buffer layers as well as the work function of back contact metal are studied to enhance the output performance of monoclinic phase CTS thin film solar cell. The effect of operating temperature is also tested for CTS solar cell to ensure the sustainability at outdoor installation. After optimizing the thickness and carrier concentration of both layers, the best CTS cell is delivers 9.61% efficiency with back contact of molybdenum. However, after optimization of back contact metal work function the conversion efficiency is further increased to 17.87% for tungsten as back contact metal with a work function of 5.25 eV. The increased temperature shows a negative effect on output performance with a decline efficiency rate of -0.33/K. All these simulation results will give some important guides for feasibly fabricating higher efficiency CTS solar cells.

The interactions between the ion beam and matter are very complex processes that cover a large aspect of different phenomena. In this study, the energy loss, projected range, longitudinal straggling, lateral straggling and ionization of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), Mylar and ITO/Mylar materials were simulated by SRIM code 2013. The values of energy loss, as well as the range of hydrogen ions in the samples, were obtained between 0.01 and 10Mev. The findings indicate that the growing of ITO on Mylar led to changes in the electronic and nuclear stopping powers and range in the materials. The obtained findings were compared with published data. The details of calculations are given and discussed.
