EVALUATION OF PV/T AND PV SYSTEMS USING VARIOUS MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING MPPT METHODS
Authors: Panda Babita , Panda Sampurna , Dhaka Rakesh Kumar
Published: February 2025

Due to the growing demand for renewable energy solutions, the integration of photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) systems and photovoltaic (PV) systems is attracting more and more attention. High temperatures have a substantial impact on the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) power panels. As the temperature of a photovoltaic (PV) panel rises, the efficiency and power production generally decline. The main reason for this is that photovoltaic cells are highly responsive to variations in temperature, which directly impact the choice of semiconductor materials employed in their fabrication. An experimental set up has employed for a cooled and non-cooled panel and the cooled panel has been cooled with a back surface cooling technology with Cu tubes. An important obstacle in improving the efficiency of these systems during high temperature conditions is the efficient use of PV panel cooling system along with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques. These approaches assure that the systems function at their highest power output even when faced with changing environmental constraints. This work provides a thorough assessment of PV/T and PV systems using distinct MPPT approaches, such as Perturb and Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (IC) Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm. Simulation and experimental analysis are used to examine the combined effect of panel cooling & MPPT. The combine effect has been observed in the output power of the system by increasing electricity production efficiency by over 16%.

The mineralogical, physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties of the soil affect heavy metal availability. The correlation between metals and soil attributes provides insights into their availability and potential soil contamination. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) and to evaluate the correlations with the attributes (pH, CEC, Fe2O3, Al2O3, organic matter (OM), clay, silt and sand) of tropical soils (native soils of the Swine hub of the State of Mato Grosso). Statistical analysis of the data wasused: Pearson's correlation, Principal Component Analysis and Canonical Discriminant Analysis. The concentrations of heavy metals (Mn>Cr>Pb>Zn>Ni>Cu>Cd) found varied according to the geomorphological and pedological differences. A correlation was observed between heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr and Mn) and soil texture as well as Fe and Al oxides. The clay and medium-clay texture correlated positively with the metals, while the sandy texture correlated negatively. A positive correlation was observed between OM and Zn, Ni, and Cr. Clayey tropical soils with higher OM show heavy metal affinity for soil colloids, reducing their solubility, mobility, and plant absorption. All measured levels were below CONAMA Resolution 420/2009, ensuring safety.

Este artigo tem como objetivo compartilhar a construção de um projeto desenvolvido por um grupo de psicólogos e psicanalistas numa instituição que abriga mulheres em situação de rua. Desde os primórdios da psicanálise observa-se a necessidade de um trabalho psicanalítico que alcançasse populações que não tivessem acesso a cuidados de saúde mental, levando em consideração seu contexto histórico-social. Já existem inúmeros projetos de psicanálise com a comunidade realizados além das paredes da clínica convencional. A inspiração através de tais trabalhos foi o impulso para o início de um grupo em psicanálise com mulheres em situação de rua realizado na Casa de Passagem Esperança, instituição da prefeitura de Ribeirão Preto, cidade do interior São Paulo. Ao longo de 2024 os grupos, que tinham duração de 1h30, eram coordenados por ao menos dois psicólogos/psicanalistas e foi realizado semanalmente com as acolhidas que habitavam a instituição e que queriam participar espontaneamente. Após a observação do movimento do grupo, discussões com a equipe e retorno das próprias acolhidas, considera-se que o grupo serviu como espaço de resgate e reconstrução da noção básica de existir e pertencer à comunidade.

Authors: Çekirdekçi Ahmet , İhsan Parlar Ali , Özhan Abdulkerim , Akgül Engin , Eroglu Murat
Published: February 2025

Aortic root enlargement procedures are used to implant a larger aortic valve. Median sternotomy may cause complications, including dehiscence and mediastinitis. Cosmetic concerns of median sternotomy are minimized with minimally invasive approaches. Although the subaxillary vertical incision is not a conventional minimally invasive approach, it is favored since the incision is hidden in the subaxilla, and the thoracic integrity is preserved. Herein, we demonstrated that Y-incision aortic root enlargement can be safely performed in double valve replacement through subaxillary vertical thoracotomy in a 63-year-old female patient with better cosmetic outcomes and without compromising the replaced mitral valve.

Published: February 2025

Many countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are in the process of transforming their civil service systems to meet the aim of serving public interests. This paper discusses current status of this endeavour in the regional countries and provides an analysis of the countries’ efforts to ensure integrity in public service by elaborating on the experiences of Armenia, Kazakhstan, Georgia and other states. Particularly, it stresses upon the practices of merit-based competitive recruitment, implementation of performance-based pay systems as well as underlines the importance of ensuring ethical and legal norms to prevent corruption, mitigate conflict of interest and promote core public service values. Author also points out challenges these regional countries are facing today in pursuing these policies and, as such, she considers a misinterpreted notion of professionalism in civil service and weak autonomy of public servants in their decision making among other issues. Accordingly, recommendations are made as to train civil servants on the public service values and enhance their practical ethical skills as well as nurture respect for the rule of law and enforce corruption offences to achieve integrity in the public administration.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REFORM: THE CASE OF KAZAKHSTAN AND UZBEKISTAN
Authors: Suyunov Alisher , Mirkasimov Bakhrom , Karimov Komiljon
Published: February 2025

Research and Development (R&D) is of high importance for economic growth because it drives technological progress in a society. The governments, therefore, stimulate both government expenditure and private business expenditure on R&D. Despite government measures to catalyse R&D initiatives throughout the globe, the pace of research and development considerably lags behind in Central Asia. We use evidence from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and show that despite having higher R&D capacity in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstani scientists are significantly ahead in the number and quality of publications and patents. We argue that the low productivity of researchers, low incentives for R&D, lack of private R&D investments and inefficiency of research processes has led to low quality innovation, less global impact and unsustainable R&D culture in Uzbekistan relative to Kazakhstan. We propose three policy options to produce high-quality R&D impact: [i] stimulate public- private and international partnerships (i.e. WIUT-UoW partnership, Nazarbayev University and hosting universities) to enable autonomy, internationalisation, mobility and knowledge exchange between industry, government  and universities; [ii] carry out business/research process re-engineering in state-owned institutions, including national universities involved in R&D to optimise efficiency and productivity; and [iii] provide tax and financial  incentives to stimulate business and academic R&D investments.

In the early 21st century, national governments in some countries are facing increasing pressure to keep up with the global economic and social trends related to ongoing globalization. The current stage of development of humankind is characterized by increasingly globalized economic, environmental and, often, social challenges. Some nations’ lack of swift response to this highly volatile environment has translated into political tension; several cases have translated into open civil conflict. The only effective governance response to 21st century pressures has been the adoption of new approaches to national development planning and management. Sustainable development is a key tool in preventing and alleviating ‘development without a future’ and ‘development without equality’. These approaches need to continue being based on the assumption of full responsibility by welleducated and trained civil servants, ensuring that they deliver the ensuring that they deliver the best quality and volume of social goods and services at a national and local level.
The Civil Service Reform in Georgia
Authors: Kotetishvili Irakli
Published: February 2025

Before 2003 Georgia was considered one of the most corrupt countries among the former Soviet Union countries, with nepotismacting as the driving force within the public sector. Following thefundamental changes that arose from the Rose Revolution, Georgiastarted to gradually reform its civil service. Various legislative amendments were passed to enhance the existing legislation and to bring greater transparency and efficiency; salaries were significantly increased in the civil service to prevent corruption; e-governance projects were developed to raise the efficiency of public service delivery; the government publicly prosecuted manycorruption cases; civil servants underwent comprehensive trainingin good governance and logistical advancements such as new public buildings and modern equipment played a vital role in the modernisation of the Georgian public service. As a result of the Georgian civil service reform, Transparency International and the World Bank named Georgia as the biggest combatant against corruption in 2010. Moreover, Georgia was considered as one of the least corrupt countries in Europe under the Eurobarometer in 2012. The United Nations has also recognised the work done by Georgia and in 2012 awarded the Public Service Hall with a United Nations Public Service Award. This recognition was further extended in 2013 when the Civil Service Bureau was presented the same award in recognition of its high efficiency in the category of ‘Preventing and Combating Corruption in the Public Service’. The practical results of the reform are now apparent: police and other public services are now totally corruption-free; the process of starting a company and registering real estate takes only minutes; and all state procurements are done online; all of which promotes transparency and accountability for its citizens.

Published: February 2025

An increase in international migration from the State of Veracruz, Mexico, in the decade of the 1990s, mostly occurred as a result of the agricultural crisis in the rural sector. The state coffee producing sector proved to be no exception to the impact of the recurring crises, caused by the fall in the price of coffee grain in the international market. Many coffee growers migrated to the USA to stave off their own economic collapse. This investigation aimed to analyze the relationship between the process of international migration and change in land use in the communal landholding of Bella Esperanza, Veracruz. For this purpose, historic documentation, interviews with 21 coffee producing families -some of which included migrants-, interviews with key informants and geographical information systems were all used. The main change in land use entailed the substitution of shaded coffee plantations for sugarcane monoculture, implying deforestation. Urban expansion was shown to be incipient, in spite of the significant amount of money transfers directed towards housing construction and the proximity of this "ejido" or communal landholding to the cities of Xalapa and Coatepec. These changes are mainly associated with the crisis involving this commodity, but they have been exacerbated by emigration of family members, who were once in charge of coffee production.

Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is one of the most economically, socioculturally and environmentally important crops in Veracruz. Shade-grown coffee plantations provide environmental services and play a key role in biodiversity conservation. In coffee farms in Veracruz insects are an abundant natural resource, and part of the use of this resource is the consumption of some edible insects in certain coffee regions. The objective of this study was to know the traditional use of three species of edible insects in the coffee agroecosystem of Veracruz. During the period 2007-2012, an ethnoentomological study was conducted in coffee regions from central Veracruz. The insect species identified were the ants chicatanas (Atta mexicana Smith and Atta cephalotes Latreille) in the municipality of Huatusco, the larva gusano del jonote (Arsenura armida armida Cramer) in the municipalities of Zongolica, Tequila and Tezonapa, and the larva gusanillo (Phassus triangularis H.E.) in the municipalities of Cordoba, Ixhuatlan del Cafe, Tepatlaxco, Chocaman and Zongolica. The results showed the traditional knowledge held by coffee growers related to these edible species which are a valuable natural resource in their coffee plantations. Knowledge on agroecological relationships, collection, consumption and marketing was rescued. In conclusion, the insect species studied are used for local consumption and have great economic potential due to their high sell price during the harvest season.

Published: February 2025

This study analyzed the effect of earning management and corporate social responsibility disclosure on tax avoidance moderated by auditor reputation. This study employed panel data from 12 Indonesia's mining companies from 2015 – 2019. This study used the effective tax ratio (ETR) as the proxy of tax avoidance. By employing the regression panel data analysis, this study found that earnings management has a negative and significant effect on ETR. Meanwhile, this study revealed that CSR could not affect the ETR. On the other hand, this study found that auditor reputation has a negative moderated role in the CSR's effect on ETR. Nevertheless, this study failed to prove any moderating role of auditor reputation in earnings management's effect on ETR. These results revealed that earnings management in mining companies was carried out in the context of tax avoidance.
THE TABLIGHI JAMAAT RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A LIVING HADITH PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Asroni Ahmad
Published: February 2025

This article examines the response of the Tablighi Jamaat to the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of living hadith. This study adopts a qualitative research design to explore and analyze the response of the Tablighi Jamaat to the COVID-19 pandemic from a theological and practical perspective, grounded in the concept of living hadith. The data for this study is collected through some methods: interview, participant observation, and document analysis. There are several findings in this research. First, the Tablighi Jamaat is an Islamic movement that frequently draws on hadith as a foundational reference in its activities, seeking to implement these teachings in everyday life. The movement generally does not engage in discussions concerning the authenticity of hadith and actively avoids theological debates. Second, the diverse responses of Tablighi Jamaat members to the COVID-19 pandemic are deeply influenced by their theological beliefs. These beliefs are shaped by their interpretations and understandings of religious texts. Members interpret these texts in a literal/textual manner, particularly hadiths related to tho’un (plague or contagious diseases). Third, for some members of the Tablighi Jamaat, the hadiths concerning tho’un are perceived solely as warnings and trials from Allah, without reference to scientific perspectives, nor do they align with the implementation of public health protocols.
¿Cómo afecta a la contaminación acústica, la implementación de las zonas de bajas emisiones en la ciudad de Mataró?
Authors: El Hmidi Khomssi Safae
Published: February 2025

Este estudio se enfoca en analizar cómo influyen las Zonas de Bajas Emisiones (ZBE) en la reducción del ruido en Mataró. El trabajo tiene como objetivos evaluar el efecto de las ZBE en la mitigación de la contaminación acústica, estudiar los niveles de ruido que podrían tener antes y después de su implementación y proponer recomendaciones para optimizar la aplicación. Para llevar a cabo este estudio, se ha realizado una investigación profunda, una encuesta, mediciones de ruido en diferentes puntos del centro de Mataró y un cálculo del efecto que podría tener en la contaminación acústica esta implementación. Los resultados obtenidos, han sido sorprendentes, ya que los supuestos niveles de ruido después de la implementación de las ZBE no varían significativamente, debido a la isla peatonal que ya incorpora restricciones similares. Esto hace pensar en tomar medidas más significativas, como, por ejemplo, ampliar la ZBE, haciendo que las calles más transitadas disminuyan su tránsito y por lo tanto se reduzca el ruido ambiental.

Crisis of Gender and the Nation in Korean Literature and Cinema
Authors: Jeong Kelly Y.
Published: February 2025

Crisis of Gender and the Nation in Korean Literature and Cinema is about the changing constructs of modernity, masculinity, and gender relations and discourses in Korean literature and cinema during the crucial decades of the colonial and postcolonial era, based on close historical examination and a wide-ranging theoretical foundation that look at both western and Korean language sources. It examines Korean literary and cinematic texts from the period that spans from the1920s to the 1960s to reveal the ways in which many arrivals of modernity in Korea_through the traumatic pathways and contexts of colonialism, nation building, war, and industrialization_destabilize and set in flux the notions of gender, class, and nationhood. It probes into some of the most significant aspects of Korean culture in the earlier part of the twentieth century through an interdisciplinary inquiry that deploys methods and seminal texts from the fields of Korean Studies, Comparative Literature, Postcolonial Studies, and Film Studies. Each chapter is an exploration of a decade, organized around questions about modernity, gender, class, and the nation that are central to understanding the selected texts and their contexts. The nation of Korea has been under threat since the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945). Crisis of Gender and the Nation critically analyzes the cultural responses of the nation and its gendered subjects in crisis, represented in a selection of Korean literary and cinematic texts from the colonial period, beginning in the 1920s, to the postcolonial period, up to the 1960s, through the lens of both Western and Korean discourses of gender and postcolonial inquiries of literature and film. It delineate the connection between the construction of the nation as a unified, sovereign entity and the ideal of the new Korean masculinity, to show how Korea's Confucian patriarchal tradition and its hold on the national imagination endures over the turbulent decades under examination, by adapting to the new surroundings and social mores, even while its core assumptions and values remain unchanged in significant ways.
