Environmental Policies and Tax Incentives in the Pillar Two Era: A Comparison of the EU and US Approaches
Authors: Apostolidou E.
Published: October 2024

This article explores the interaction between global corporate taxes, specifically under the OECD’s Pillar Two, as implemented by the EU Minimum Taxation Directive (2022/2523) in the European Union and by the Corporate Minimum Tax (CAMT) in the United States, and fiscal incentives supporting environmental tax policies under the European Union’s Green Deal and the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The article compares the EU and US approaches and reveals the impact on the investment strategies of MNEs, with a focus on the location of intangibles related to renewable energy technologies, as well as State aid considerations. The article proposes that, instead of marginalizing the green tax credits, they should be reshaped and made subject to a benchmark that supports sustainable innovation within the global tax framework.
Discurso de odio contra la tauromaquia: Una aproximación al fenómeno desde la voz de los informadores taurinos
Authors: de Haro de San Mateo María Verónica , Cáceres Zapatero María Dolores
Published: October 2024

La proyección mediática y social de la tauromaquia como práctica cultural unida a la imagen de España se aparta actualmente (sobre todo entre los más jóvenes) de su simbólica importancia histórica. La industria taurina y sus actores se han convertido en diana del discurso de odio. Se presenta una investigación exploratoria del fenómeno a partir de la voz de los informadores taurinos de los principales periódicos españoles de información general y de otras cabeceras deportivas y regionales con tradición en esta parcela informativa, con el objetivo de 1) determinar los soportes del ecosistema informativo donde se localiza el odio antitaurino; 2) identificar los actores sobre los que se vierte el relato incívico; 3) señalar expresiones recurrentes e hitos del discurso de odio contra la tauromaquia; 4) reconocer el perfil del hater antitaurino y 5) reflexionar sobre las posibles causas de la radicalización de esta narrativa. Se concluye que Twitter y las redes sociales son el ecosistema natural del discurso de odio antitaurino; que el torero es el sujeto pasivo principal del odio —aunque no el único— y que entre los motivos de exacerbamiento del relato antitaurino están el anonimato que brinda el entorno digital, la influencia del movimiento animalista y la recusación ideológica de una práctica cultural que tiende a identificarse con opciones políticas conservadoras.
Percepción de los agentes sociales del rol asumido por los medios informativos durante la crisis de los refugiados de 2016
Authors: Felipe Frías Laura San , Vicente Mariño Miguel , Said-Hung Elias
Published: October 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo entender cómo fue percibida la cobertura de los medios informativos españoles, durante el arribo de refugiados en 2016, por parte de las entidades sociales a cargo de atender este suceso en España. Este trabajo parte de los resultados extraídos mediante entrevistas en profundidad a los responsables de comunicación de Cruz Roja Española, Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado (CEAR), Asociación Comisión Católica Española de Migraciones (ACCEM) y ACNUR-España. El análisis de datos devuelve una percepción negativa de la cobertura hecha por los medios informativos españoles sobre el caso de estudio. Este resultado puede deberse al predominio de enfoques periodísticos centrados en la exposición de situaciones anecdóticas y drama humano, en contra de otros, social y humanitariamente responsables, más favorables a la promoción de la tolerancia, la convivencia y los valores democráticos de los ciudadanos alrededor del caso estudiado.
Constitutive Modeling Of Sintering Of Cemented Carbide Aiming For Robustness
Authors: Rosenblad Louise , Larsson Per-Lennart , Larsson Henrik , Staf Hjalmar
Published: October 2024

During sintering, a green body of powder particles is heated to high temperatures, fusing the particles together. In cemented carbide production, the sintering process generally results in substantial densification of the material. By using a dilatometer, shrinkage during the sintering process can be measured. For a green body of lower density, early particle rearrangement has been observed. This is investigated here using different initial densities using the same powder, leading to a suggested addition to the constitutive model. The environment in the dilatometer and the sintering furnace differs, especially with respect to heating and temperature during holding. This effect can be minimized by creating robustness in the model, making it independent of the heating cycle. Here, this is done by optimizing the constitutive parameters towards four heating cycles for a specific powder.

Published: October 2024

The printing of Fe-6.5wt%Si by LB-PBF is a complex process due to the formation of brittle phases during processing, which can lead to sensitivity to internal stresses. The paper shall show the issues encountered during processing and the resulting material, based on optical microscopy, defect analysis and classification. The manufacturing of thin walls has yielded better results than thick bulk material, and various laser melting strategies will be presented to demonstrate the trend between single and multiple meltpool thicknesses. The internal grain texture of the wall is obtained by means of EBSD. Furthermore, the magnetic hysteresis cycle of the printed material is measured using a vibrating magnetometer.
Production of High-temperature Structural Materials Using a Slurry-based Feedstock Process
Authors: Peled Hagai , Ben Moshe Matti
Published: October 2024

High-temperature materials with low thermal expansion are of interest for various applications such as shields, lenses, and microelectronics. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a hard, strong, and thermally conductive structural ceramic that retains its properties at high temperatures. Molybdenum refractory metal is also a strong corrosion-resistant material with low thermal expansion.\n Additive manufacturing (AM) of printed pure SiC and Molybdenum parts is uncommon. Existing AM processes of SiC parts produce porous SiC structures that go through a silicon infiltration procedure to produce hybrid silicon-SiC structures. This study demonstrates the production of molybdenum metal and SiC ceramics by the MoldJet process, which utilizes a slurry-based feedstock to fill, layer-by-layer, inkjet-printed mold to produce high-density green parts with a volume density in the range of 60%. The SiC and Molybdenum green parts are than debinded and sintered to density volumes of over 99% and 95%, respectively, resulting in parts with exceptional properties.

Published: October 2024

Surface roughness of the additively manufactured (AM) parts can reduce the service life, especially under dynamic loadings, due to promoting fatigue by providing initiation sites for fatigue cracks. Therefore, improving the surface condition of AM specimens can be a solution to increase the fatigue strength. The stiffness method is a rapid fatigue test method that allows to obtain reliable fatigue limit values in a cheaper and easier way than traditional methods. Consequently, this work aims to investigate the effect of surface roughness on the fatigue behavior of stainless steel AISI 316L specimens using the stiffness method. These specimens were printed with laser and electron beam powder bed fusion techniques. Different contour parameters were utilized to obtain different surface roughness values. The competitional effect of the internal defects, which become surface defects after machining, and the surface roughness of the as-built specimens, is also addressed by the stiffness method results.
Size-Dependent Microstructure of Electron Beam Melted Ti-6Al-4V Alloy
Authors: MEMU Fırat , DURLU Nuri
Published: October 2024

The Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) techniques allow for the production of complex-shaped components, yet geometric variations lead to varying mechanical properties within the fabricated structures. Despite employing the same manufacturing process, specimens of different sizes exhibit distinct microstructures. This study compares the microstructures of Electron Beam Melted (EBM) Ti-6Al-4V samples with build diameters of 6, 7.5, and 15 mm by examining alpha (α) phase thickness, dislocation densities, and hardness. Lattice parameters of phases and dislocation densities in the specimens are compared through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Notably, the study finds that α phase thickness increases with an increase in build diameter. The results demonstrate that size-induced differences in microstructure led to variations in mechanical properties. This highlights the crucial need to consider size effects in the design and assessment of complex PBF-fabricated structures.

Published: October 2024

Hybrid tool steels, designed to meet diverse specifications, offer superior fatigue life, toughness, and abrasion resistance. However, this may pose significant challenges in traditional manufacturing. The current study explores the use of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) to bond a high-wear-resistant cold work tool steel powder (Vanadis 8 SuperClean) with a tough hot work tool steel bar (Orvar 2 Microdenodized). The effectiveness of HIP in creating hybrid tool steels is assessed. The impact on the microstructure and mechanical property in terms of hardness in the bonding zone has been examined by employing various analytical methods and simulations. The results confirm a strong bond achieved through HIP, with promising initial outcomes.

Published: October 2024

Drivers drowsiness is the major problem that causes road accidents. Unlike normal facial expression, drowsiness is defined to be a condition of exhaustion, where the expression of the face is different from usual. The important steps in detecting drowsiness are face detection and expression detection. Many algorithms are being developed to detect face and expressions. But these algorithms give poor performance due to the extrinsic parameters of the environment. Light and position of the camera are the major problems. In this paper, different architectures were used to analyse the performance of face and drowsiness detection. Also we have proposed new detection methods using deep learning techniques. To estimate the drivers’ state we use facial regions corresponding to the entire face. The algorithms employed for face detection are i) Viola Jones ii) DLib iii) Yolo V3. For the Classification, The CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) architecture employed in the drowsiness detection is modified LeNet.

Authors: S Venkata Kiran , N Mounika , S Sasank Kumar Reddy , N Roopa , K Bharath Kumar Reddy
Published: October 2024

Early diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities plays a crucial role in effective treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases. In this project, a novel approach for small object detection and classification in cardiac images to facilitate improved early diagnosis. Our method involves a comprehensive pipeline consisting of input image pre processing, edge detection, boundary extraction, KAZE feature extraction, region mapping, morphological analysis, ensemble learning, and convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier for decision making. The pre processing stage aims to enhance image quality and reduce noise, preparing the input for subsequent analysis. Edge detection techniques are employed to identify prominent edges within the images, followed by boundary extraction to isolate potential regions of interest. KAZE feature extraction is utilized to capture key features from these regions, facilitating robust representation for subsequent classification tasks. Through region mapping and morphological analysis, extracted features are further refined to delineate small objects of interest within the cardiac images. An ensemble learning approach is then applied to integrate information from multiple classifiers, enhancing classification accuracy and robustness. Finally, a CNN classifier is employed for decision making, leveraging deep learning techniques to classify detected objects into relevant categories indicative of cardiac abnormalities.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine for Head Shaking and Pelvic Limb Qi Stagnation in a Thoroughbred
Authors: Vollstedt Sabine
Published: October 2024

A ten-year-old Fire constitution Thoroughbred gelding was presented for Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) evaluation and treatment of a pelvic limb shifting leg lameness of 4 weeks duration and idiopathic head shaking of 1 week duration. The weather had recently become hot and humid. The muscles of the lumbosacral area were tense and firm. While trotting, a 3/5 lameness was observed in the right pelvic limb and the horse shook his head violently and tried to kick his nose with his thoracic limbs. On digital palpation, the stifle diagnostic acupoints were most sensitive, but sensitivity was also noted on hock and hip acupoints bilaterally. The tongue was initially red with a yellow coating and the carotid pulses were strong, forceful and wiry on both sides. The TCVM diagnosis was local Qi Stagnation in the lumbosacral region and right pelvic limb and Liver Qi Stagnation and Fire Flaring Upward to the Heart causing a Shen Disturbance (head shaking). Dry needles were inserted into Bai-hui, Shen-shu, Shen-peng, Shen-jiao, BL-54 and BL-40 bilaterally for the Qi Stagnation and Xia-guan, Shang-guan, Nao-shu, An-shen and HT-7 for the Shen Disturbance. Hemoacupuncture was performed at HT-9 to clear Heat. Two acupuncture treatments were administered, 1 week apart, and the local Qi Stagnation resolved within a month. The head shaking worsened and evidence of Heart Yin and Blood Deficiency developed. The Chinese herbal medicine, Shen Calmer (modified Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan), was prescribed. After 2 weeks of herbal therapy, the head shaking had improved and within 2 months the horse showed only occasional head shaking while being ridden. When the hot summer months had past, the herbal therapy was discontinued and the signs had disappeared.

Rational Individual and Managerial Decision Model: A Critical Review of the Standard Rationality Hypothesis
Authors: Kobiyh Miloudi , Amri Adil El
Published: October 2024

Classical economic analysis is based on the hypothesis of perfect rationality attributed to economic agents. Their behavior is considered, according to this analysis, in a narrow sense represented by Homo-oeconomicus. The latter is a calculating agent in the true meaning of the term, who calculates to optimize his choice and maximize a utility function. However, in a decision-making process, the economic agent finds himself interacting with a complex and uncertain environment. To decide, he adapts his choice behavior to an end, considering the constraints of this environment. He does not always seek the optimal solution, but he can be satisfied with the solution that he considers satisfactory. This solution highlights the role of deliberation, which considers the norms and customs of society, as well as environmental constraints. This work revisits rationality by examining the assumptions underlying decision-making behaviors. This analysis considers the real motivations of the decision-maker and their implications in his decision-making process, both in the individual context and in that of the organization. It studies the sources of the limitation of rationality and seeks to know why the decision-maker abandons optimization and is interested in satisfactory solutions in his choice. The results of this analysis recommend that bounded rational behavior can still be considered when motivations are considered. They advocate that their understanding is fundamental to refound the economic behavior of choice on hypotheses, which correspond well to the social and economic context of the decision.
Exploring the Influence of Artificial Intelligence Usage on Ethical Decision Making Among Public Sector Employees: Insights into Moral Identity and Service Motivation
Authors: Bian Xiangyu , Wang Bin
Published: October 2024

This study constructs a moderating mediation model to link public sector employees’ Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage with employees’ moral norms and ethical decision-making behaviors. Based on the theory of public service motivation, this study hypothesizes that the impact of AI usage on employees’ ethical decision-making behaviors acts through the mediating effects of employees’ service motivation, employees’ moral norms, and employees’ ethical perceptions and that the relationship between AI usage and employees’ service motivation, employees’ ethical norms, and employees’ ethical perceptions is moderated by the culture of the public organization. The selected data from 417 public sector employees in China supported most of the research hypotheses. The findings show that employee service motivation, employee moral norms, and employee moral cognition mediate the relationship between AI usage and employee ethical decision-making behavior. Public organization culture moderated the relationship between AI usage and employee service motivation, as well as AI usage and employee ethics. This study reveals the complex mediating and moderating relationships between AI usage and employees’ ethical decision-making behaviors in the public sector. It provides important theoretical and practical insights for further understanding and promoting public sector employees’ ethical behaviors in the era of AI.

Authors: Hamyeme Salem , Belagra Fatna , Bouzidi Fattoum
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing servant leadership practices on adopting digital transformation among employees at Algeria Telecom’s commercial agencies in Laghouat. The independent variable, Servant Leadership, is explored through five dimensions: Moral Love, Empowerment, Humility, Vision, and Trust. Conversely, the dependent variable, the Adoption of Digital Transformation, is assessed through three dimensions: Operational, Relational, and Transformational. To fulfill the objectives of this research, a questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of 74 employees. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 25. To test the hypotheses, the study employed Structural Equation Modeling via Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) and the Bootstrapping method of testing the hypotheses of the study, through the Smart -PLS (4) software. The findings reveal that servant leadership practices notably influence the adoption of digital transformation among employees, with significant effects observed specifically in empowerment and trust, which recorded probability values of 0.008 and 0.024, respectively. In contrast, the dimensions of Moral Love, Humility, and Vision were found to exert no significant effect, as their probability values were 0.388, 0.183, and 0.167, respectively, which are above the significance level of 0.05. Based on these results, the researchers propose several recommendations: granting a portion of decision-making autonomy to employees to foster empowerment, encouraging teamwork towards common organizational goals, streamlining communication channels for efficient information delivery, and enhancing trust and job satisfaction through both material and moral incentives within the organization.

Aggregates are a major component of hot mix asphalt and make up about 85% of the total mix volume. The increasing expansion of road infrastructure in Indonesia has led to a depletion of aggregate resources. Conversely, Indonesia is one of the largest producers of plastic waste in Southeast Asia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of high density plastics (HDPE) for use as artificial aggregate material in flexible road pavements. The parameters investigated include softening and melting point, penetration and elongation index, gradation value, specific gravity, absorption and abrasion of the aggregates. The investigations into the physical properties of the artificial aggregates revealed a softening point of 265°C and a melting point of 272°C. The penetration index was 0.77% and the elongation index was 0.70%. The classification values passing through the 3/4" sieve were 100%, 66.88% for the 1/2" sieve and 25.96% for the 3/8" sieve. The specific gravity of the artificial coarse aggregate was 1.629. The absorption of the artificial coarse aggregate was 1.270% and the abrasion value was 0.15%. In summary, the artificial coarse aggregates produced from HDPE plastic waste can serve as a partial substitute for natural coarse aggregates.

Published: October 2024

Toxicology deals with the measurement and analysis of toxins. It is itself a vast branch of science, though it has several branches and one of these is forensic toxicology. Forensic toxicology is a branch of toxicology that lines up with other disciplines, namely clinical chemistry, postmortem forensic toxicology, human performance toxicology and forensic drug testing, providing medical jurisprudence of adverse effects such as drug abuse, poisoning and death. The key role of forensic toxicology is to identify and analyse the toxin compounds found during adverse events. This review paper aims to draw an idea about the toxin, in the collected biological chemical samples such as urine samples and their effects on their day-to-day life.

Water scarcity is among the major limitations for crop production. Improving water use efficiency of irrigated crops through water management options is crucial in water scarce areas. Field experiment was carried out at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Koka Research site, to investigate the effect of water stress at different growth stage on yield and water use efficiency of maize. one optimum irrigation and eight growth stage based deficit levels(100% ETC at all growth stages, 75% ETC at all growth stages, 50% ETC at all growth stages, 75% ETC at development growth stage, 50% ETC at development growth stage, 75% ETC at mid growth stage, 50% ETC at mid growth stage, 75% ETC at late growth stage and 50% ETC at late growth stage) were imposed on maize (Zea mays L.) variety Melkassa II as a treatment and laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Results indicated that the different levels of growth stage based deficit levels had significant (p<0.01) effect on crop yield, harvest index and water use efficiency. Grain yield reduced with increased stress, whereas water use efficiency was increased with stress level increased. The highest grain yield of 6.4 t/ha and WUE of 1.01 kg/m3 were obtained at 100% ETC and 50% ETC at all growth stages, respectively. Also, 75% ETC at development stage and late stage treatments showed no significant variation with 100% ETC in grain yield. Water use efficiency observed at 75% ETC all growth stages treatment was statistically similar with that of 50% ETC at all growth stages treatment. Grain yield obtained from 50% ETC at mid growth stage was similar with 50% ETC at all growth stages, and water use efficiency was the least and this shows that maize was sensitive to moisture stress at mid growth stage than development and late growth stages. Therefore, maize could be irrigated at 75% ETC at all growth stages and by stressing development or late growth stages up to 50% ETC to increase water use efficiency with a small grain yield reduction for stressed scenario and for non stressed scenario with 100% ETC at all growth stages.

This research examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing criminal justice systems, focusing on advanced applications such as predictive crime analysis, facial recognition, and forensic evidence analysis. Predictive analysis relies on sophisticated algorithms that use historical data to anticipate crime locations and timings, thereby improving the allocation of security resources and reducing crime rates. However, the use of these technologies raises ethical concerns related to privacy protection and algorithmic bias that may affect ethnic minorities. The study employs a qualitative methodology, including literature review and expert interviews, highlighting the situation in Libya, where the application of AI is limited due to inadequate infrastructure. The findings indicate that while AI can improve the efficiency of criminal investigations, it is crucial to establish robust legal and ethical frameworks to ensure responsible use. Therefore, cooperation between the government and civil society is essential to maximize the benefits of these technologies while minimizing their risks. Keywords: artificial intelligence, criminal problems, predictive analysis, privacy violations, organized crime.

Authors: Lloria García Paz
Published: October 2024

Con esta ponencia se trata de analizar cómo las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación y el ciberespacio se presentan, respectivamente, como nuevos instrumentos delictivos en un nuevo lugar. Precisamente los niños, niñas y adolescentes, por su condición de nativos digitales y usuarios habituales de los lugares virtuales, son víctimas propiciatorias de conductas de violencia en el espacio on line. La Ley Orgánica 8/2021, de 4 de junio, de Protección Integral a la Infancia y la Adolescencia frente a la Violencia, ha recogido esta posibilidad, incluyéndola en el propio concepto de violencia y modificando la Ley Orgánica 10/1995, de 23 de noviembre, del Código Penal, en algunos preceptos, para adaptar aquello que la reforma de 2015 no tuvo presente.
