Authors: Rudenko Mykola , Berezianko Tamara , Halytsia Ihor , Dziamulych Mykola , Kravchenko Olena , Krivorychko Vladyslav
Published: August 2023

The article examines the problems of knowledge capitalization in the innovation economy paradigm. The modern globalized world is characterized by the commercialization of educational and scientific activities, the formation of educational ecosystems, as well as the capitalization of knowledge as a resource. The paper describes the theoretical basis of knowledge capitalization and defines the stages of the formation of academic capitalism. It is defined that the capitalization of knowledge is an increase, the maximization of the value of own and engaged intellectual assets, as a result of the increase in the influence of higher education institutions and scientific institutions on the scientific-technical and socio-economic development of society, and commercialization is the process of turning knowledge into a commodity.A system of statistical indicators of capitalization of knowledge within the economy has been established (expenditures on education; the number of patents; share of costs for scientific research and development; costs for innovative activities; share of innovative enterprises in the total number of enterprises; share of income from the sale of innovative products to the total volume of products sold ). The methodology for calculating the model of the change in GDP per capita has been developed, taking into account the indicators of knowledge capitalization, and the algorithm of necessary actions regarding its application has been described. The hypothesis about the impact of capitalization of knowledge on the economic development of the state, namely the change in macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP (gross domestic product) per capita, has been confirmed.The author’s formula for determining the coefficient of the economic effect from the capitalization of knowledge is proposed, which reflects the ratio of investments in knowledge-creating (innovative activity) to the income received from the implementation of an innovative product. Investments in knowledge-creating activities are the number of expenses for scientific research and development, so the innovative product is a patent, as a formalized unit of knowledge. The calculation of the coefficient of the economic effect of knowledge capitalization for Ukraine and the Republic of Poland was carried out, which clearly showed the expediency of implementing the knowledge capitalization experience of Poland and the need for a balanced internal policy to stimulate educational, scientific and innovative activities with the attraction of appropriate investments in Ukraine.

Проведення емпіричного дослідження різного впливу міжнародної торгівлі в періоди стабільної світової економіки, кризових явищ та посткризового відновлення вможливлює формування узагальнених засад зовнішньоторговельної політики, спрямованої на підвищення темпів економічного зростання. Метою роботи є визначення впливу факторів міжнародної торгівлі на економічне зростання за кожним із періодів економічного стану та обґрунтування гіпотези щодо доцільності адаптації міжнародної торгівлі до економічної ситуації в країні. У роботі використано інструмент нечітких нейронних мереж щодо просторових даних 82 країн світу за часовими інтервалами стабільності, кризи та посткризового відновлення, що дозволило знайти раціональний підхід до формування орієнтирів міжнародної торгівлі за різних макроекономічних умов. Результати дослідження показали, що в періоди стабільної економіки максимізація реально досяжних темпів економічного зростання (близько 10-20%) відбувається при середніх і порівняно однакових рівнях експорту та імпорту (від 30% до 60%). При цьому потенційний сплеск темпів економічного зростання може буде досягнутий шляхом скорочення рівня експорту при збереженні середнього рівня імпорту. Під час кризових явищ найбільш стабільними є країни, що обмежили імпорт і зберегли середній рівень експорту своєї продукції, а потенційні можливості нарощення темпів економічного зростання вбачаються в підвищенні імпорту до докризового рівня. У часи посткризового відновлення найбільші потенційні темпи економічного зростання досягаються при максимально можливому нарощенні експорту та скороченні рівня імпорту. Констатовано, що експорт високотехнологічної продукції є впливовим фактором економічного зростання. Проте його рівень доцільно адаптувати до макроекономічних умов і структури міжнародної торгівлі, орієнтуючись на теорію меркантилізму.

A variationist corpus analysis of the definite article with personal names across three varieties of Spanish
Authors: Tieperman Robin , Regan Brendan
Published: August 2023

It has been shown that the presence of a definite article (DA) prior to a personal name (PN) varies not only across languages, but also across varieties of the same language. Spanish is an example of a language that demonstrates DA+PN variation across varieties. However, few studies have quantitatively analyzed this DA+PN variation. The current study examined which linguistic and social factors govern the variation of DA+PN in the speech (sociolinguistic interviews) of 54 speakers from Santiago (Chile), Mexico City, and Granada (Spain) from the online PRESEEA Corpus. Statistical analyses found that the DA+PN realizations are most favored by speakers from Santiago across all educational levels. Speakers from Santiago also favor DA+PN realizations more with female names than male names, demonstrating a gendering of language. Speakers from Mexico City and Granada demonstrated few overall DA+PN realizations, with the least realizations among those with more educational attainment, possibly indicating the effect of a standard language ideology for these communities with regard to DA+PN. Thus, not only do these varieties differ in overall frequency in which DA+PN appears to be the norm in Santiago and much less common in Granada and Mexico City, they also differ in terms of which social factors govern DA+PN realizations in each variety.

Published: August 2023

Glutinous rice husk, an abundant agricultural biowaste in Thailand, was pretreated with high energy electron beam irradiation (EBI) at doses of 500 kGy, 1000 kGy, and 1500 kGy prior to fabrication into biochar by carbonization at 500℃ under nitrogen atmosphere. The biochar was then treated with KOH and subsequently heated at 800℃, yielding activated carbon (GAC). The physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties of the as-received biochar (GB) and activated carbon (GAC) were investigated. Scanning electron microscopic images (SEM) suggested that biochar irradiated with 1500 kGy (GB-1500) has the highest porosity compared to the other samples. The electrochemical properties of GB and GAC in 3 M H2SO4 using a three-electrode system indicated that EBI affects the electrochemical performance of the material. The specific capacitance of GB-1500 (6.15 F·g-1 at 0.05 A·g-1) is higher than that of the as-received biochar, and the improved performance of the former is potentially due to the formation of structural defects upon irradiation. Finally, we observed that the specific capacitances of the GAC were much higher than those of their corresponding GB with the same irradiation doses, and the capacitances of the GAC decrease with increasing EBI dose.

“Pintou um clima”: a maldade e o desejo na retórica bolsonarista
Authors: Antonini João Paulo Queiroz , Santos Felipe Wagner Teixeira
Published: August 2023

Este artigo analisa questões pertinentes ao político e ao poder, em Nicolau Maquiavel. Em "O Príncipe", obra escrita para governantes de sua época, o pensador italiano reflete como um líder deve se comportar e alcançar objetivos políticos, através dos meios necessários para garanti-los. Maquiavel se distancia das concepções idealizadas e utópicas da política, adotando abordagem pragmática e reconhecendo que nem sempre é possível agir de acordo com princípios morais e éticos estabelecidos para alcançar metas políticas desejadas. Há permissão para que o governante descredite dos e enfraqueça os seus opositores, ao romper com concepções idealizadas e reconhecendo o papel da maldade e do desejo na busca pelo poder. Essas disposições surgem como ferramentas utilizadas para manipular a opinião pública e fortalecer a autoridade governante. Elucidamos, portanto, aspectos do contexto antropológico e explicamos conceitos; inserimos o lugar específico da maldade e do desejo em O Príncipe e como isso participa no texto como norteador do objetivo de provar a arquitetura maquiavélica em ações políticas do governo Bolsonaro. Para alcançar o objetivo, foi elaborada uma pesquisa bibliográfica na obra principal, em artigos que a discutam e em reportagens sobre o ex-presidente. Concluímos manifestando que a maldade e o desejo, situados por Maquiavel, foram instrumentos para deturpar o otimismo político das pessoas, através de um homem, ao seu modo, essencialmente político e justificado pela necessidade de arvorar-se a qualquer custo.

Published: August 2023

Today, EU projects represent a significant factor in growth and progress of the Croatian economy. Since Croatia joined the European Union, it has utilised a significant amount of HRK for research and development projects. Research and development projects have a long lead time—over four years on average—from the beginning of the idea to the end of implementation. Several stakeholders are involved in the process, including institutions, academia, SMEs, and consulting firms. The level of readiness of the process for digitalisation varies depending on the project lifecycle phase. Since digitalisation is widely recognized as the key to success in service businesses, this study aims to establish a digitalisation heatmap for administrative and operational processes in the EU-funded research and development project lifecycle and recognize opportunities for digitalisation of the process. Data were collected through an empirical study of EU-funded project. Taken together, these findings suggest that there is a potential for further digitisation of the process, especially for consultants in the implementation phase and communication with the client as well as in state institutions. Further research should focus on identified subprocesses to successfully develop a methodology to increase digitisation readiness and on extraordinary circumstances that result in changes of lesser or greater significance to the project.

Education on Construction Project Management Through Digital Transformation
Authors: Pučko Zoran , Šuman Nataša
Published: August 2023

The rapid development of advanced technologies and methods of Industry 4.0 represents in recent decades the basis for radical changes in traditional project management in all industrial sectors. It is a digital transformation, with a trend in digitalization and automation processes, and which in turn has a significant impact on the construction industry. Thus, the traditional construction project management has outgrown its basic elements and is focused on the challenges of comprehensive handling of mass data about the planned or built building. Therefore, managing construction projects today focuses on the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is a digital platform where all information is collected in one place and accessible to all stakeholders throughout the construction project cycle. In this context, the basic education and continuous development of professionals through lifelong learning is so important. Through this learning, professionals acquire knowledge and competencies for working in this area, which is especially important for successful management of construction projects. Therefore, this chapter provides a more detailed overview of formal and informal learning at a higher education institution that focuses on advanced construction project management.

Published: August 2023

Infrastructure is one of the vital technical elements of our modern lives, with its wide scope of broad environmental, social and political impacts. Nevertheless, infrastructure projects are often prone to underachievement in budget, time, quality or goals. In order to find out the state of infrastructure project management in Croatia, as well as neighboring countries, the authors conducted research with the aim of detecting the most critical areas of infrastructure project management in the context of challenge and opportunity identification and connection. Systematic research steps were taken, based on the adoption of the framework analysis approach. 17 project management experts in the field of water, electricity, railway, road, port, gas, waste landfill, hospital, building and soft infrastructure participated in in-depth interviews. Their views on challenges, risks, opportunities and regional experience-sharing are discussed, the most significant concerning strategic planning, public procurement, project management competencies and public administration. On the basis of their answers and expert group engagement, a comprehensive framework for the transformation of infrastructure project challenges into opportunities is made. Finally, an applicable conclusion and recommendations for future research are given. The results of this research may be of service to project management experts, scholars and interested members of the public in the creation of epistemology on infrastructure projects and the maximization of their benefits.
The Importance of Urban Spatial Grid Data in the Building Valuation Process
Authors: Kliment Daniel , Pokorná Sofie , Doležalová Monika
Published: August 2023

The aim of this paper is to structure information on environmental characteristics that influence housing prices so that it can be effectively used in the valuation process through digital visualization. A suitable data platform for real estate valuation entities should contain information about the spatial data of the urban grid in a structured form that is stored digitally and accessible to all. OpenStreetMap can be considered as such a platform. It is a relatively user-friendly open tool that can be used for spatial and market analysis. This activity is very necessary in the valuation process as it is very time consuming and requires extensive data collection. This paper examines the environmental spatial characteristics in the urban grid to see whether or not they have an impact on the price of housing. These influences are examined using a non-parametric test that allows two groups or conditions to be examined. The Mann-Whitney U test is a test for ordinal data that is similar to a two-sample t-test. Nonparametric tests are used when a certain distribution of the data cannot be assumed. The paper concludes by presenting a systematic approach to incorporating information on the urban grid characteristics under investigation into open data platforms to streamline the property valuation process. The results can be suitably generalized to other commodities and markets

Published: August 2023

Today it is hard to imagine new things, inventions and any accomplishments without projects standing behind them. Projects of any kind are a crucial part of our world; they have become the way of thinking and inevitable foundation for successful businesses. In order to produce a desirable impact on the community, project goals must be achieved – in other words, projects must be successful. Nevertheless, it often seems that we live in a world of unsuccessful project endeavors. Many authors agree that problems occurring in implementation phase could have been foreseen in conceptualization and planning. Therefore, planning has been recognized as a critical phase for projects to succeed. High-quality plans enable easier procurement, contracting, monitoring and control – leading to a better project management and overall project success. One of the most popular project management tools for project planning, especially when it comes to budgets, is a well-known S-curve. S-curve is simple, clean, report and user-friendly. All the above is stressed on the special manner when it comes to the largest and most complex projects – infrastructure projects. In Croatia, as well as other EU members, infrastructure projects are mostly EU co-financed, and often contracted via FIDIC terms of contract, which makes planning phases even more important. This research was conducted in order to contribute to the improvement of baselines and projection of financial realization. Theoretical baseline and empirical S-curves on portfolio of FIDIC Red and Yellow Book contracted projects in water sector were analyzed and compared, with the aim of proposing adjusted prognostic S-curves of financial absorption and therefore contribute to more efficient planning and implementation of projects.

Published: August 2023

The European Union’s (EU) main goal, as stated in the EU Green Deal, is to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, and the construction sector plays a significant role in this achievement through efforts to make infrastructure, commercial, and private projects more sustainable. For many years, Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) has been used to evaluate and make decisions on co-financing large infrastructure projects funded by the EU. As a result, the EU has incorporated the CBA into its cohesion policies, major initiative objectives, major sectoral policies, and common links, such as climate change and resource efficiency. However, in order to achieve ambitious European goals, the CBA has found a much broader application and is now used for the evaluation of circular economy projects, alternative materials in construction projects, in waste management and sustainable design, or to prove the efficiency of information processes or corporate governance. This paper will give an overview of the use of CBA in assessing various construction projects, as well as categorize identified benefits that were monetized in each group of projects. Finally, the general advantages and disadvantages of using CBA when evaluating and selecting projects from various construction areas will be summarized.

Construction is a complex process, that includes and generates a huge amount of data. Information management, cooperation between the branches and the coordination of partially delivered models is a non-trivial and responsible task that involves various groups of stakeholders and requires the involvement of various teams. Building Information Modelling (BIM) brings indisputable benefits to construction process, specifically in terms of managing design process and design verification. Clash detection process allows for significant reduction of cost overruns or unforeseen delays. As an element of BIM models checking and coordination between the branches it makes possible elimination of errors which are often the potential causes of problems. The purpose of this manuscript is to resume and discuss briefly clash detection process itself and present three case studies based on different BIM models both monodiscipline and multi-discipline. The different methodologies, depending on assumed parameters of process accuracy, produced various results in terms of reported number of clashes. The number clashes reported in the study ranges from 0 to few thousands depending on models’ complexity and assumed accuracy. Additionally, the duration of individual clash detections was measured. The obtained results range from t < 1 sec for residential building model to t = 1 min and 20 sec for industrial structure model. In order to be able to achieve the goal of the paper, an application developed in Poland – BIM Vision IFC viewer was selected for clash detection analysis.

Organisms, such as Chinkara (Gazellabennettii), which do not have adequate opportunities to express normal behaviour in captivity, exhibit more prominent morphology, feeding habits, and breeding behaviour in the wild than in captivity. The current study aimed to detect the alterations in behaviour patterns in both wild and confined settings in LalSuhanra National Park, Pakistan between August 2021 and February 2022. The criteria under investigation included morphological patterns, food and feeding habits, vigilance, resting, grooming, defecation/urination frequency, time spent together (Male-Female), grouping, being alone, affinitive interaction, agonistic activity, mounting frequency, and mounting number, amongst other factors. The results showed significant differences among the animals residing in captive and wild habitat. The wild habitat provided a variety of shrubs, herbs and trees for natural vegetation of Chinkara, while the captive Chinkra were feed by Park staff, that resulted in brighter color and wild animals were healthier in terms of height and weight. The level of vigilance in the captive population (11.2%) was greater than in the wild population (9.6%). Observations of resting were more common in the captive group (14.7%) than in the wild population (6.6%). Mounting happened considerably more often in the wild (1.5%) than in captivity (1%), and this difference was statistically significant. The grooming behaviour was less often seen in the wild population (4.1%) than captive population (7.4%). This research found that if a captive Chinkara population is housed in an enclosure with suitable gender relationships and environmental disturbance is kept to a bare minimum, the captive Chinkara population may be as prolific as the wild population in terms of health, behaviors, and reproduction.

Tüm bu nedenlerden ötürü bu çalışma topluluğa bağlılık ve topluluk katılımının turizmin yerel halk tarafından algılanan sosyo-kültürel etkileri (sosyo-kültürel faydaları ve maliyetleri) ve turizme yönelik destek üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle Mardin yerel halkından 400 kişiye ulaşılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yapısal eşitlik modelinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; topluluğa bağlılık ve topluluk katılımının turizmin algılanan sosyo-kültürel faydaları ve turizme verilen destek üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif bir ilişkisi bulunmuştur. Bunun yanı sıra topluluğa bağlılığın algılanan sosyo-kültürel maliyetler üzerinde anlamlı ve negatif bir etkisi görülürken, toplululuk katılımının algılanan sosyo-kültürel maliyetler üzerinde herhangi bir etkisi görülmemiştir. Son olarak, algılanan sosyo-kültürel faydaların turizme verilen destek üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif, algılanan sosyo-kültürel maliyetlerin ise turizme verilen destek üzerinde anlamlı ve negatif etkisi olduğu bulunmuştur.

Published: August 2023

Gestures are a vital part of our communication. It is a procedure of nonverbal conversation of data which stimulates great concerns regarding the offer of human–computer interaction methods, while permitting users to express themselves intuitively and naturally in various contexts. In most contexts, hand gestures play a vital role in the domain of assistive technologies for visually impaired people (VIP), but an optimum user interaction design is of great significance. The existing studies on the assisting of VIP mostly concentrate on resolving a single task (like reading text or identifying obstacles), thus making the user switch applications for performing other actions. Therefore, this research presents an interactive gesture technique using sand piper optimization with the deep belief network (IGSPO-DBN) technique. The purpose of the IGSPO-DBN technique enables people to handle the devices and exploit different assistance models by the use of different gestures. The IGSPO-DBN technique detects the gestures and classifies them into several kinds using the DBN model. To boost the overall gesture-recognition rate, the IGSPO-DBN technique exploits the SPO algorithm as a hyperparameter optimizer. The simulation outcome of the IGSPO-DBN approach was tested on gesture-recognition dataset and the outcomes showed the improvement of the IGSPO-DBN algorithm over other systems.

Fonaments de química per a enginyers : pràctiques
Authors: Gorchs Altarriba Roser , Tortosa Moreno Montserrat
Published: August 2023

Si consultem els recursos explotats a cel obert a Catalunya el 2006, podem constatar que la majoria d’aquests recursos són roques. Si detallem més, podem veure que el carbonat de calci és el component principal de diverses d’elles, entre les que destaquen el marbre, la calcita i la creta. Aquesta última és una roca sedimentària d’origen orgànic que conté més del 99% de CaCO3 i Catalunya és pràcticament l’única productora actual d’aqueta roca a tot l’Estat.
Els usos que tenen les roques , que contenen majoritàriament carbonat de calci, poden ser tan diversos com la decoració i l’art funerari (marbre), la fabricació de pintura blanca (creta), o l’obtenció de calç (calcita), entre d’altres.
Les escultures i monuments que contenen carbonats poden estar afectats negativament per la contaminació ambiental i, d’altra banda en els llacs en minimitza l’acidificació.
El carbonat de calci és el component majoritari de moltes roques calcàries.
En aquestes practiques estudiarem diverses roques calcàries amb l’objectiu de relacionar les seves propietats i reaccionabilitat química amb els seus usos.
