Problematyka zrzeczenia się praw autorskich w ustawodawstwie polskim
Authors: Pałasz Kamila
Published: December 2020

Obrót prawny dobrami niematerialnymi w postaci praw autorskich jest powszechną praktyką w obecnych czasach. Dzięki umowom o korzystanie z praw autorskich oraz o przeniesienie praw autorskich twórca ma możliwość swobodnego dysponowania swoimi utworami, a co za tym idzie niejednokrotnie czerpania korzyści majątkowych. Z uwagi na przyjęty w ustawodawstwie polskim dualizm praw autorskich, w przypadku śmierci twórcy autorskie prawa osobiste nie wygasają, natomiast prawa autorskie majątkowe co do zasady po 70 latach przechodzą do domeny publicznej. Należy zadać sobie jednak pytanie, czy w obecnym stanie prawnym istnieje możliwość rozporządzenia swoimi uprawnieniami autorskimi w postaci zrzeczenia się ich jeszcze za życia. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest zatem analiza problematyki dopuszczalności zrzeczenia się praw autorskich w ustawodawstwie polskim.

Authors: Zhu Qing K.
Published: December 2020

This paper describes our thermal simulation flow and thermal closure methodology based on one high-performance VLSI/SOC chip. Thermal simulation results help the design team to evaluate the cooling technology and verify the highest temperature on the chip. The developed flow is based on PowerDC tool from Cadence Design Systems to automate steps based on one configure file. We discuss more details about the tool, the configure file and power density file that are critical to the accuracy of simulation results. The general thermal closure methodology and engineering teams involved in the process are described in the paper with experimental results based on the high-performance SOC chip.

Authors: Sulaiman Noorazliza , Mohamad-Saleh Junita , Abro Abdul Ghani , Tan Weng-Hooi
Published: December 2020

Among swarm-intelligence based (SI) algorithms, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm that is inspired by the intelligent behavior of honeybees has recently captured much interest from optimization researchers. They have come out with the proposal of ABC variants with the aims to cater the limitations’ of ABC; slow convergence speed on unimodal functions and premature convergence tendency on multimodal functions. This research has recently become the main topic among optimization researchers. Nonetheless, the variants also have their limitations as they cannot solve the problem simultaneously. With the motivation from those inefficiencies, this work presents a new modified ABC variant, referred to as JA-ABC5a as a problem solver. JA-ABC5a is simulated on 27 commonly used benchmark functions prior to evaluating its optimization performance. Upon justifying its robustness, it is being applied to design an optimal digital IIR filter.
Experimentation on the Electromechanical Behavior of Automation Safety Buttons Applied to an Industrial PLC
Authors: Theocharis E. , Papoutsidakis M. , Sort A. , Drosos C.
Published: December 2020

The growing automation demands of production make the automation systems more complex and vulnerable to failures. For this reason, some instructions have been created (CAT, SIL) that must be followed, in order to insure their safe operation in case of a failure of both the hardware and the software. For a credible operation of a Fail Safety system along with a system to work on SIL2 or SIL3, must have Safety Hardware and Software. This present paper analyses the response of the Hardware of a Basic PLC and the equipment of an automation system. It also presents a descriptive analysis of the experiment, which was conducted to record measurements in order to draw firm conclusions. In addition, the measurements are analysed and evaluated to verify if basic equipment could be used in these systems and insure the Safety function at the same time. The objective is to simply prove that if we manage an already existing Basic PLC equipment differently, it could upgrade the security of automation systems. Therefore, with a low cost in time and money, particularly in existing automation systems, there could be Fail Safety operations.

Phraseologische Kompetenz von Lehramtsanwärtern/-innen für Deutsch als Fremdsprache am Beispiel der Marmara Universität
Authors: EPÇELİ Nilüfer , GÜNDOĞAR Feruzan
Published: December 2020

In Werbetexten, die Leser nicht nur informieren, sondern auch motivieren, aktivieren oder Änderungen in der Einstellung bewirken sollen, werden vielseitige rhetorische Mittel eingesetzt, die mitunter auch Phraseologismen enthalten. Da diese authentischen Textsorten auch im Deutsch als Fremdsprache (DaF) Unterricht intensiv eingesetzt werden, ist es für Lehrende und Lernende unausweichlich Phraseologismen unbeachtet zu lassen. Um sie im fremdsprachlichen Unterricht jedoch zielorientiert und angemessen einsetzen zu können, müssen Lehrende sie erst selbst beherrschen.
Infolge der Immatrikulationsvoraussetzungen für germanistische Studiengänge der Deutschlehrerausbildung in der Türkei kann von zwei verschiedenen Gruppen ausgegangen werden: Lehramtsanwärter/-innen, die in einem deutschsprachigen Land aufgewachsen sind und Deutsch als Zweitsprache erworben haben (DaZ-Lerner) und Lehramtsanwärter/-innen, die Deutsch als Fremdsprache in der Türkei lernten und keinen bzw. nur kurzfristige Aufenthalte in einem deutschsprachigen Land aufweisen (DaF-Lerner). In einer Studie im Rahmen einer Dissertation1 wurde im Studienjahr 2017-2018 anhand von Phraseologismen in deutschen Werbetexten die phraseologische Kompetenz von 152 Lehramtsanwärtern/-innen der Deutschlehrerausbildung an der Marmara Universität untersucht und der Fragestellung nachgegangen, inwiefern sie Phraseologismen beherrschen und inwieweit ein Unterschied zwischen DaZ- und DaF-Lernern besteht. Die Ergebnisse der Studie bestätigten die Annahme, dass Lehramtsanwärter/-innen Phraseologismen nur in einem begrenzten Rahmen beherrschen und ein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen den Gruppen besteht.

Consecutively, the data is then analyzed through the referential equivalent method and triangulation of data sources. As result, found that there are five religious sub-values, namely peace-loving, tolerance, self-esteem, friendship, and environmental care, that could be utilized by teachers in distance learning during the pandemic.
ON THE CREATION OF A MODERN DOMESTIC INFANTRY ROCKET FLAMETHROWER
Authors: Suprykin A. , Itseliev D. , Kamak Yu. , Kaletnik S.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the design features of existing flamethrowers of former Soviet Union, Russian and foreign manufacture. It is determined that the infantry rocket flamethrower can perform only a single action. A flamethrower consists of a disposable container - launcher with an aiming device in which a thermobaric warhead and a jet engine are mounted, which are separated during the shot. The shot is carried out using a launching machine attached to the disposable container - launcher. The selection of an analogue product that meets the requirements for an advanced domestic flamethrower in terms of tactical and technical characteristics was made. Analysis of the design of existing systems showed that the closest to the conditions of the technical - development requirements in terms of technical and weight-and-dimensional characteristics is RPO-A "Shmel", thus it was chosen as a prototype during the development of a domestic infantry flamethrower. The main features of the damage effects are analyzed. The main adverse factors of thermobaric warheads are determined. They are: maximum pressure, shock-wave velocity, action time of excess pressure. In the process of designing a new rocket flamethrower in order to increase the adverse factors indicators, the following decisions were made: to use nitrate ester with a lower oxygen balance, incapable of detonation transformation - isoamyl nitrite; to use an explosive of bursting charge with a higher detonation rate - okfol. Experimental studies have confirmed that the developed infantry rocket flamethrower does not rank below the world analogues, and in terms of particular characteristics (damage effects) even exceeds those analogues.
APPLICATION OF TECHNIQUE OF INPUT DATA SEPARATING INTO EQUIVALENCE CLASSES FOR OPTIMIZATION OF SPECIAL SOFTWARE CHECKING
Authors: Skyba O. , Kamak D. , Rudenko O. , Kravchenko V.
Published: December 2020

Usually, planning a software testing requires solving the basic dilemma: how to provide quality of testing and spend optimal amount of resources. Typically, resources include components such as personnel, software, technical equipment, time, consumables and others.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have the same problems in planning and testing of programs that are expected to be used in the interests of troops and arms command and control.

Testing can be performed by manual method and computer-aided method. The computer-aided method is faster but has its drawbacks. In particular, this method requires the development and then verification of a special program that will be involved in testing. In addition, this program may not detect certain problems that a person can notice.

Therefore, the authors of the article propose to use the method of manual testing. It is proposed to apply a rational approach for reducing the time for planning and testing using this method.

It refers to a significant reduction in the range of input values which will be checked. This approach provides a high quality testing program at the same time.

The approach is based on the fact that the range (or list) of all possible values of each input variable is divided into several groups (equivalence classes). The separation is carried out by the principle that each equivalence class includes such input values, which will give the similar results after processing them by program.

This approach is widely used by experts in the field of testing. It also meets the standards requirements applicable in Ukraine.

There are two general classes of equivalence: accepted values and nonaccepted values. Each of them is divided into more specific ones. The separation is done leaning upon knowledge, skills and predictions of a specialist who is planning the testing.

This article provides an example of dividing the input values of four variables into equivalence classes.

The approach proposed by the authors of the publication allows to perform software testing faster and more rationally.

It is assumed that such a method should be used during testing software that is intended to be used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Authors: Shumigay О. , Yermolenko O.
Published: December 2020

In the current context of warfighting electronic warfare is crucial for both sides of the conflict. Donetsk and Luhansk regions have become a kind of springboard for testing and application of multifunctional electronic warfare (EW) systems and platforms.

The urgency of creating multifunctional EW systems lies in the need to solve the problem of protection of troops, control points, armament and military equipment from UAV air reconnaissance, protection from weapons, as well as disorganization of enemy‟s command and control by jamming its radioelectronic means. The development and passing into service of modern highly effective multifunctional EW systems requires continuous monitoring of the current state of their development in the Armed Forces of advanced countries.

Developers from around the world present multifunctional EW systems annualy.

The newest means of EW of the Russian Federation are considered and their comparative analysis is carried out. Conclusions are made on the possibility of interdiction of their work in areas of operations. The directions of operational efficiency improvement of the Ukrainian EW systems are offered.

The analysis of trends in the development of EW and the latest command and control systems of the world's leading countries indicates the need to review traditional approaches to EW in the armed struggle of nowdays and the future. Therefore, the problem of bringing the state and level of development of EW to the requirements of the future wars is acute for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, taking into account the asymmetric and advanced nature of EW technology development in the world.

The urgency of the research lies in acquaintance with modern achievements and directions for the development of EW systems used by the enemy.

Propagation and Possible Allelopathic Effects of Vernoniazeylanica on Selected Bioassay Species
Authors: Senarathne S.H.S. , Udumann S. S.
Published: December 2020

Vernonia zeylanica (L.) belongs to the family Asteraceae, is one of the major endemic weed species present in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) plantations of the tropics, which propagates very easily.  There is a possibility that this plant could also possess allelopathic effects, but this has not been scientifically tested.  Thus, a study was carried out to determine the seed germination of V. zeylanica under soil moisture stress conditions, shoot propagation methods and possible allopathic effects of this species, on selected species in bioassay tests.  Germination of V. zeylanica seeds was not observed at higher osmotic potential (-0.9 MPa).  The highest sprouting percentage of this species were obtained with soft wood cuttings.  The aqueous leaf extract was highly phytotoxic, and it significantly reduced germination and seedling growth of all bioassay species tested. Full strength (33.3 g L-1) aqueous extracts of leaves significantly reduced the germination percentage, root and hypocotyl growth rates of all species tested.  The inhibitory effects were often dependent on concentration.  However, the degree of inhibition varied among the test plant species.  The seedling emergences of all four tested plants were severally inhibited when planted in V. zeylanica contaminated soil.  The results indicated that incorporated aqueous leaf extract of V. zeylanica and its rhizosphere contaminated soil can suppress seed germination, seedling growth and seedling emergence of certain plant species indicating a possible allelopathic effect.
Professional Knowledge in the Organization as a Generator of Innovation Processes in the National Economy
Authors: Altukhova Nadezhda
Published: December 2020

The article examines the knowledge as an «invisible asset» of a company produced in the course of entrepreneurial activity and the activity of the company’s employees. It is assumed that the entrepreneurial knowledge generated at the company can be transmitted, generally only from one person to another, because this knowledge is difficult to not only formulate but also articulate. The article presents knowledge classification on the basis of its formalization and accessibility for business entities. The author offers the hypothesis that the type of entrepreneurial knowledge owned by the organization is a major factor in the establishment, implementation and application of innovative technologies in the economy. Calculated by the author econometric model of multiple linear regression describing the dependence of advanced manufacturing technologies developed in Russia on various factors indirectly confirms the proposed hypothesis.
«Das Kapital» of Karl Marx and the Contemporary System of the Capitalist Production Relations: the Experience of the Rising from the Abstract to the Concrete
Authors: Buzgalin Alexandr , Kolganov Andrey
Published: December 2020

The researches of the contemporary capitalism have ran forward substantially in compare to the theoretical picture have drawn by Karl Marx in «Das Kapital» and show us the deep changes in the categories of the capitalism, which studied by Marx. But in these researches were not attempted to reproduce in full measure the method of «Das Kapital» — it was not shown the dialectical motion of the categories on the path of rising from the abstract to the concrete. In this paper we are trying to give the first sketch of the implementation of this method to the categories of the contemporary capitalism. We guess that just this dimension, starting from the study of the modification of the most abstract, simplest categories of capitalism, give us the possibility to understand in the full extent the modification of the more complex, more concrete categories of capitalist system of the production relations. Thus, we trying to show how the changes in the nature of commodity, of market, of money lead to the changes in the nature of the basic capitalist relation and in the more concrete forms of the existence of capital.
Evaluating the effectiveness of scientometric indicators use in Russia’s science administration
Authors: Bratchenko Svetlana
Published: December 2020

The article presents the results of research on the effectiveness of scientometric indicators use in science management in Russia (on the example of economic science in 2005-2018). The investigation rests on empirical base of publications indexed in the Russian science index. The author argues that the use of bibliometric indicators (in the form they appeared in government documents between 2009 and 2018) encourages the publication activity rather than actual scientific results. The paper offers the method to evaluate the effectiveness of a scientific paper differentiating the ways and effects of dissemination of scientific ideas in a scientific community. The method helped identify a significant increase in the overall number and the share of articles which do not influence further development of science (i.e. ineffective papers). The drop in the number of effective papers is accompanied by a significant cost rise, which also means a drop in effectiveness (3.9 times according to the empirical data).
Are the signs of collective dominance in law “On protection of competition” helpful for arbitration judges in taking right decisions?
Authors: Ovsiannikov Timur
Published: December 2020

The Russian officials extensively apply antitrust prohibitions in the domestic markets. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly determine the presence of dominant companies in the market. The article examines the signs of collective dominance in the antimonopoly practice in Russia. For this purpose, the author examines judicial acts for cases on cancellation of decisions of the Russian Antimonopoly authority concerning collective dominance for 2007-2017, and considers type I and type II errors arising in establishing collective dominance. The empirical analysis of the factors influencing judicial reviews shows that the predictions of economic theory are not sufficiently taken into account in law enforcement.

Published: December 2020

WISE J224607.56−052634.9 (W2246−0526) is a hyperluminous (L
bol ≈ 1.7 × 1014
L
⊙), dust-obscured, and radio-quiet quasar at redshift z = 4.6. It plays a key role in probing the transition stage between dusty starbursts and unobscured quasars in the coevolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). To search for the evidence of the jet activity launched by the SMBH in W2246−0526, we performed very long baseline interferometry observations of its radio counterpart with the European VLBI Network (EVN) plus the enhanced Multi Element Remotely Linked Interferometer Network (e-MERLIN) at 1.66 GHz and the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 1.44 and 1.66 GHz. The deep EVN plus e-MERLIN observations detect a compact (size ≤ 32 pc) sub-mJy component contributing about 10% of its total flux density, which spatially coincides with the peak of dust continuum and [C II] emissions. Together with its relatively high brightness temperature ( ≥ 8 × 106 K), we interpret the component as a consequence of nonthermal radio activity powered by the central SMBH, which likely originates from a stationary jet base. The resolved-out radio emission possibly come from a diffuse jet, quasar-driven winds, or both, while the contribution by star formation activity is negligible. Moreover, we propose an updated geometry structure of its multiwavelength active nucleus and shed light on the radio quasar selection bias toward the blazars at z > 4.
Confronting the Magnetar Interpretation of Fast Radio Bursts through Their Host Galaxy Demographics
Authors: Safarzadeh Mohammadtaher , Prochaska J. Xavier , Heintz Kasper E. , Fong Wen-fai
Published: December 2020

We explore the millisecond magnetar progenitor scenario in the context of fast radio burst (FRB) host galaxies demographics and offset distributions. Magnetars are neutron stars with strong magnetic fields on the order of 1015 G with a short decay lifetime of less than 104 yr. Due to their extremely short lifetimes, magnetars should follow the demographics of galaxies according to their current star formation rate (SFR). Moreover, we hypothesize that magnetars should follow the SFR profile within galaxies, which we assume to follow an exponential profile. We construct a simple model for the host galaxies of magnetars assuming these events track SFR in all galaxies and compare it to observed properties from a sample of 10 secure FRB hosts. We find the distribution of observed SFRs is inconsistent with the model at >95% c.l. The offset distribution is consistent with this scenario; however, this could be due to the limited sample size and the seeing-limited estimates for the effective radii of the FRB host galaxies. Despite the recent association of an FRB with a magnetar in the Milky Way, magnetars may not be the only source of FRBs in the universe, yet any other successful model must account for the demographics of the FRB host in SFR and their observed galactocentric offsets.
Immigration in France and its security consequences
Authors: Eichler Jan
Published: December 2020

The article is about the immigration in France and its consequences on the security field. It starts by the historical context and pays a big attention to the development during last two decades. It analyses the process of the islamisation on the cultural, social, security, and political levels. It continues by the French debate which reflects the clash of two contrasting approaches: political correctness vs. critical attitudes. The French experts dispute about two key subjects: the numbers of the immigrants and, namely, the correlations between the immigration and the growing numbers and brutality of the terrorist attacks (the so - called amalgam). The last part analyses the place and the role the immigrants in the French armed forces. This text offers an original periodisation of the phenomena of the immigration in France since the first post WW II years until today. It examines not only its quantitative aspects, but also its qualitative changes.

Authors: Damette Olivier , Cremel Maxime , Demaie Heathcliff , Lemoine Fabrice
Published: December 2020

Dans ce travail, nous étudions dans quelle mesure le vecteur énergétique que constitue l’hydrogène est susceptible de permettre de résoudre les problèmes de la transition énergétique. Nous présentons la filière hydrogène de ses modes de production, de sa potentielle insertion dans le réseau électrique, à ses usages (industriels, transport, chauffage etc…), afin de discuter de son potentiel en tant qu’énergie du futur pour construire une nouvelle économie soutenable. Nous montrons qu’il existe plusieurs formes d’économie de l’hydrogène : ces dernières impliquent des dynamiques d’achèvement de la transition énergétique et écologique plus ou moins rapides, des coûts plus ou moins importants et des rentabilités différentes. Un arbitrage intertemporel entre réduction des émissions environnementales et développement économique de la filière sera sans doute nécessaire. Il n’existe pas une filière hydrogène unique et il sera peut-être nécessaire d’amorcer la filière par de l’hydrogène dit « bleu ». Enfin, les usages du futur sont amenés à changer lorsqu’ils exploiteront complètement l’intérêt de la technologie hydrogène.

Published: December 2020

L’article examine la participation des agriculteurs aux forums de développement rural ( Mesas de Desarrollo Rural (MDR)), dispositifs instaurés en Uruguay en 2007. Durant trois ans (2015-2017), plusieurs MDR ont été étudiées dans trois départements du pays à partir de l’application d’une grille d’analyse des variables de l’action publique. Les principales conclusions indiquent la flexibilité et l’adaptation de ces dispositifs aux conditions des territoires et des producteurs, leur ouverture à d’autres institutions sectorielles non agricoles et, dans plusieurs cas, des difficultés de maintien ou de renouvellement de la dynamique de participation, en particulier, des représentants des agriculteurs.

Bregman subgradient extragradient method with monotone self-adjustment stepsize for solving pseudo-monotone variational inequalities and fixed point problems
Authors: Jolaoso Lateef Olakunle , Aphane Maggie
Published: December 2020

Using the concept of Bregman divergence, we propose a new subgradient extragradient method for approximating a common solution of pseudo-monotone and Lipschitz continuous variational inequalities and fixed point problem in real Hilbert spaces. The algorithm uses a new self-adjustment rule for selecting the stepsize in each iteration and also, we prove a strong convergence result for the sequence generated by the algorithm without prior knowledge of the Lipschitz constant. Finally, we provide some numerical examples to illustrate the performance and accuracy of our algorithm in finite and infinite dimensional spaces.
Total Quality Management and Assets Quality
Authors: Gaur Dolly
Published: December 2020

The present study aims to examine the relationship between assets quality of banks as represented by non-performing assets (NPA) and management quality. The study has used Fama-MacBeth regression approach to measure management quality, which has been considered as the primary determinant of NPA. A sample comprising of 45 scheduled commercial banks in India has been studied for a time period of 15 years (2004-2019). The findings have revealed that better quality management leads to better asset quality. Banks with above average managerial ability can reduce NPA significantly. The bank managers should focus on their role in controlling problem loans of banks and should implement more efficient monitoring and supervision process for loan portfolios. The policy makers should pay attention towards the managerial ability of banks and stress on enhancing the quality of management. Also, investors may take note of the banks that are showing good management quality because such banks can be a profitable investment avenue.
Survey on Prioritizing Test Cases in Various Levels of the Software Development Life Cycle
Authors: Nayak Gayatri , Ray Mitrabinda
Published: December 2020

Test case prioritization is a technical method to reorder the execution of test cases to reduce regression testing costs. This paper has examined various existing techniques that are widely used and suggests improving test case prioritization process after finding many research gaps. These research gaps are collected after doing a thorough study on 206 papers after surfing 310 papers on test case generation and prioritization techniques. These papers are collected from different electronic databases such as IEEE Explore, Science Direct, ACM Library, Springer, Wiley, and Elsevier. The authors have targeted to make a statistical record to show research contribution on test case prioritization at three levels of software development life cycle. This survey shows that 20.87% of papers are contributing for TCP at the requirement phase, 38.83% of papers are contributing for TCP at the design phase, 40.29% of papers are contributing to TCP at the coding phase. The inference of this study cites many future recommendations for the current researchers in the conclusion section.
Vendor Managed Inventory and Strategy
Authors: Smith Alan D.
Published: December 2020

Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) may be perceived as a business agreement between a supplier and a buyer in which the supplier manages the customer's inventory for a fee. The purpose of this paper is to examine potential and current VMI relationships between two large Pittsburgh-based companies, mostly from a global reach perspective. The initial findings of the research show that not implementing a VMI system could potentially hurt these companies, while supporting the basic research proposition that VMI will increase customer satisfaction ratings and revenues for both companies. Within this case study, there are several main questions throughout the paper. These questions are what are the goals in the case study of supply chain management (SCM) in terms of their operations? How will these goals affect the operations? What are the different perspectives from the buyer and supplier? Will the need to implement a global SCM strategy continue to exist, especially under the pressures of Covid-19?
Increasing Transparency When Assessing the Impact of Technology on Human Well-Being
Authors: Forbat Julien , Vargas Ingrid
Published: December 2020

The authors argue that the impact of technological artifacts on well-being is inconsistently assessed since evaluation criteria are conditioned by the definition of technology, the moral perspective taken, and the heterogeneity of interests at stake. An analytical framework is proposed to structure this evaluation process. It is based on the capability approach and uses Nussbaum's list of central capabilities and the five moral principles put forward by Peterson for the ethical evaluation of technology. An illustration of the framework applied to automobility is provided.
Time domain reflectometry for dielectric characterization of olive mill wastewater contaminated soils
Authors: Comegna Alessandro , Coppola Antonio , Dragonetti Giovanna
Published: December 2020

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is a compound originating from oil mills during oil extraction processes. In the Mediterranean area, more than 30 million m3 of OMW are produced each year, which represents 95-97% of the world production. Such volumes of untreated OMW are usually directly disposed of into drainage systems, water bodies (such as streams, lagoons and ponds) or are sprinkled on soils, causing potentially severe environmental problems to soils and groundwater. Consequently, there is a serious waste management problem related to the olive oil industry, because these practices no longer being acceptable. In the case of on-land OMW disposal, the characterization and the identification of this contaminant in soils is a fundamental task especially with a view to maintaining the integrity and quality of agroecosystems. In recent years, soils have been extensively studied to detect contaminants by using various geophysical methods. Among such techniques, time domain reflectometry (TDR) has shown, in different contexts, evident sensitivity and resolution capability for the characterization of contaminated soil sites. In order to further exploit the potential of the TDR technique, in this study we conducted a series of laboratory-controlled tests to explore how OMW influences the dielectric response of contaminated soils. This investigation led to the development of an empirical dielectric model to estimate the presence of OMW in variably saturated-contaminated soils with different textures and pedological features. In particular, the soils selected belong to two typical pedological units in southern Italy which account for approximately 90% of the Italian olive plantations and one of the highest concentrations of the olive oil industry in Italy. In these districts, as well as in other European and Mediterranean countries, there is the controversial habit to spread OMW on soils.

Acute respiratory infections are a serious public health concern across the globe, they are, however, prominently present in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, different primary studies were conducted in regard to the link between household biomass fuel use and acute respiratory infections among under-five children. However, there is no national study on the association between household biomass fuel use and acute respiratory infections among under-five children. Thus, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled prevalence of acute respiratory infections and its predictors among under-five children in Ethiopia.The systematic review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline. We systematically searched the databases: PubMed/Medline, Cochrane library, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched to access potentially relevant articles conducted in Ethiopia about acute respiratory infections among under five children. Stata/SE 14.00 statistical software was used for analysis and the pooled prevalence with 95% confidence interval (CI) were presented using tables and forest plots. To assess the heterogeneity among studies, I square (I2) tests were used. Publication bias was checked by Begg’s and Egger’s regression test. The random effects meta-analysis model was employed to estimate the pooled prevalence and predictors of under-five acute respiratory infectionsA total of 7 studies with 8,529 study participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of acute respiratory infection was 17.75% (95% CI: 16.95, 18.55). Child holding during cooking (OR: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.48, 5.47) and using unclean sources of energy for cooking (OR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.21, 0.70) were identified predictors of under-five children acute respiratory infection.In the current study, the pooled prevalence of acute respiratory infection among under-five children was relatively high. Child holding during cooking and using unclean sources of energy for cooking were significantly associated with under five acute respiratory infections. Therefore, the policies and regulations enacted should address the barriers that impede the development of clean and efficient energy sources.
