Air Conditioner (AC) memiliki peran sentral bagi industri tekstil untuk menciptakan produksi berkualitas tinggi. Cuaca ekstrim hari ini menjaga suhu yang terus berubah atau sering dikatakan anomali cuaca. Penggunaan AC sebagai alternatif untuk menggantikan ventilasi alami dapat meningkatkan kualitas produksi, kenyamanan dan produktivitas kerja. Tetapi penggunaan AC ini dapat berdampak negatif pada lingkungan, yaitu penipisan lapisan ozon. Untuk mengurangi dampak negatif, salah satunya dengan meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan AC dalam satu ruangan, yaitu dengan menyesuaikan kebutuhan suhu dan kelembaban sesuai dengan persyaratan standar kualitas di ruangan itu. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini dirancang sebuah alat yang menggunakan mikrokontroler, untuk mengatur suhu AC secara otomatis. Alat ini bekerja sama dengan remote tetapi dapat berubah secara otomatis sesuai dengan perubahan cuaca luar yang mempengaruhi suhu yang diukur di dalam ruangan. Untuk mengetahui suhu sebenarnya yang ada di dalam ruangan, digunakan sensor LM35 dan pembacaan sensor diproses oleh mikroprosesor dan kemudian ditampilkan melalui LCD dan output sesuai dengan perintah. Alat ini akan bekerja untuk menyeimbangkan keadaan suhu ruangan secara otomatis. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah menghasilkan pengendali suhu otomatis produksi tekstil dengan memanfaatkan mikrokontroler, LCD dan juga sensor suhu LM35.  Alat ini dapat menstabilkan suhu ruang produksi secara otomatis sesuai dengan standar kualitas dan suhu yang diukur di dalam ruangan.

Five guidelines for local service centres
Authors: Damurski Łukasz
Published: July 2020

The paper is a critical literature review aiming at synthesising knowledge on shaping the service sector in urbanised areas. Starting from classical concepts of hierarchical service systems (Christaller, Lösch, Palomäki, Nowakowski) through considerations on the impact of teleinformatics on the services sector, to contemporary research on hierarchical -network spatial and functional structures (Ossowicz), the paper points to the role which can be played by local service centres in spatial planning. The five guidelines for urban planning describe crucial conditions which have to be met in order to generate a positive influence on land -use and the quality of life in urban neighbourhoods. The guidelines may be a starting point for empirical research and may play an inspiring role in local policy in urbanised areas.
The import of used cars to Poland after EU accession
Authors: Kołsut Bartłomiej
Published: July 2020

The purpose of the article is to identify the volume and spatial structure of imports of used cars to Poland during the first 15 years of membership in the European Union, using data from the Central Re gister of Vehicles. The article attempts to answer three key research questions: (1) What was the volume of imports of used cars to Poland in the period 2004–2018 against the background of the volume of imports into other selected countries and in relation to the level of sales of new cars? (2) From where (which countries) to where (which regions of Poland) were used cars imported? (3) How does the import of used cars affect the age structure of passenger cars in Poland? The conclusions of the study are as follows. In the period 2004–2018, nearly 12 million used cars were imported to Poland, which makes Poland the world leader in this field. The changes in the volume of imports were mainly influenced by the economic slowdown and lowering of consumers’ income levels, vehicle scrapping programs in Western Europe (which reduced the supply of older cars in these countries) and the value of the zloty against the euro. Most cars were imported from Germany, and the main gateways for imported cars were the so-called “car crescent”, located mainly in the Wielkopolska region. The average age of imported cars varied from around 8.5 to around 11 years and increased the average age of cars in Poland.

Published: July 2020

The research subject in this article is the analysis of the logistics education offer in Poland, the main specialities offered by universities and the prospects for young logistics professionals. The author analyses the situation of state and private universities in the field of logistics education and shows that a significant change has occurred in the number of specialities (an increasing trend) and that state universities are still leading the way in that regard. Higher education reform has expanded its offer of supplementary master’s courses. Analysis of statistical data and the use of quantitative methods through the use of PAPI and CAWI techniques set the direction for further research. The article will aim at a more accurate analysis of logistics education in Poland by looking at the education offer including lyceum (high school), technical education and higher education as well as post-graduate studies and professional training. Verification of the above empirical research should take into account possible applications of logistics education per se.
The Commercialisation of Polish Socialist Heritage – Tourist, Entertainment and Collectable Products and Souvenirs in the Vintage Style
Authors: Płaziak Monika
Published: July 2020

On the Polish market, original and stylised products referring to the era of socialism are becoming popular. These are mainly cultural and entertainment products with both everyday and artistic items being offered and purchased on online auction portals while the production of sentimental memorabilia from the period of the Polish People’s Republic is also being developed. At the same time, the growing interest in Poland as a tourist destination among both domestic and foreign tourists is the reason for the increasing curiosity of its socialist past. Therefore, tourist offers based on relics of that era are increasingly being created on the domestic tourist market, however, the quality of these products and services sometimes raises concerns over the quality of the message that they carry. The main question is whether this is only a simplified message based on stereotypes which give the recipient only a truncated and shallow picture of Poland’s difficult past. This article discusses the main trends and the conditions necessary for the creation of services and products based on relics of socialism in Poland and is based on sources from Polish and foreign literature, both academic and professional, as well as the websites of businesses and institutions creating such market offers.
Wymiana dóbr i logika daru w społeczeństwie i w przedsiębiorczości – analiza socjologiczno‑etyczna
Authors: Prüfer Paweł
Published: July 2020

Życiem społecznym rządzą różnorodne reguły. Społeczeństwo jest przestrzenią relacji, interakcji i stosunków społecznych. Sprawcze jednostki realizują własne projekty życiowe na podstawie wymiany z innymi jednostkami określonych dóbr i usług. Dotyczy to także przedsiębiorczości. Społeczeństwo jako przestrzeń wymiany społecznej jest przedmiotem refleksji socjologicznej. Wymiana nie opiera się tylko na zasadzie racjonalności, proporcjonalności i sprawiedliwości. Włączenie do analizy socjologicznej i ekonomicznej nad zasadą wymiany pryzmatu etycznego, uwzględniającego logikę daru i darmowości, pomaga dojrzeć jej bardziej komplementarny charakter oraz zidentyfikować szerszy horyzont jej dokonywania się. W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę przybliżenia takiej perspektywy interpretacji zjawiska z uwzględnieniem teorii socjologicznej i refleksji normatywnej. Przedmiotem analiz jest wymiana społeczna nie tylko w ekonomicznym i racjonalnym wymiarze, ale też w wymiarze etycznym. Celem jest próba udowodnienia, że takie powiązanie wzbogaca teoretycznie oraz praktycznie życie gospodarcze i społeczne. Zastosowano metodę analityczno-syntetyczną, wykorzystującą różne dokumenty i opracowania, jak również własną intuicję interpretacyjną (socjologiczno-etyczną). Artykuł może być bodźcem w projektowaniu i realizacji ekonomii oraz życia społecznego w ich komplementarnej perspektywie. Przedstawiciele ekonomii oraz etyki mogą wiele zyskać w swoich badaniach, jeśli stworzą przestrzeń wzajemnej współpracy.

Authors: Lousada Arochena José Fernando
Published: July 2020

Sexual harassment is a current topic, not because it did not existed before, but because of its present visibility, identification and judicial protection, as a consequence of the feminists theorizations that took place during the seventies in the United States of America. The theorization reached Europe, and in 1989 and it was legally established in Spain. At present, Spanish Law has criminal, working and administrative regulations for the purpose of protecting the victims of sexual harassment. The approval of the Istanbul Convention within the Council of Europe (2011) and, in the global framework of the General Recommendation 35 of CEDAW (2017) and the 190 Convention of ILO (2019) necessitates its study aimed at verifying if Spanish Law is in line with the standards of these international instruments.

In the wake of globalization, rapid advancements took place in every field. Data science and big data emerged as utmost prominent realms and in this nexus, marketing analytics outgrew as a robust discipline. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate how data is used as a competitive weapon, in the age of digital globalization, by marketers and if there is any direct relationship between marketing analytics (its measurement, IT infrastructure and barriers to deploy marketing analytics) and sales performance, and then keeping absorptive capacity and top management team advocacy as mediating variables, it is tested that whether they influence such direct relationship. This is a quantitative research; the questionnaire was being administered to 300 respondents (managers with some marketing managers, directors and chief executives). It avails Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based multivariate analysis.The result records that there is a positively significant impact of measurement of marketing analytics and IT infrastructure on sales performance and in presence of the mediating variables, absorptive capacity and top management team advocacy, the impact of marketing analytics relatively increases on sales performance. However, barriers to deploy marketing analytics appeared insignificant. This research furnishes insights to marketers and e-marketers to improve sales performance and profitability; for properly applying marketing analytics, practitioners need to have proper IT infrastructure with absorptive capacity and top management team advocacy or support. Moreover, they need skillful employees who know how to acquire, extract, disseminate and utilize data in organizations for effective (strategic or operational) decision making.

Effectiveness evaluation of innovative project on the creation of biofuel production with option and fuzzy set analysis
Authors: Baranov Alexander O. , Muzyko Elena I. , Pavlov Victor N.
Published: July 2020

Implementation of innovative projects at first stages is associated with risks determined by high uncertainty of cash flows. As such, the application of standard methods to analyze the project’s economic efficiency does not allow us to give reliable estimates of the forecast dynamics of economic indicators. All this requires the development of special techniques for the analysis of the effectiveness of innovation spending. The use of real options as well as fuzzy sets approach seems to be a basic conceptual focus for the further improvement of these methods.
The paper contains the results of the effectiveness estimation for an innovative project aimed at establishing motor fuel production from high energy biomass with the use of option and fuzzy sets analysis. The use of the proposed fuzzy sets methods makes it possible to complement the traditional financial analysis and quantitatively estimates sustainability of different indicators of the innovative project efficiency to a change in exogenous parameters. Besides, it could be rather useful to identify the project’s bottlenecks. Moreover, the application of this method allows to quantitatively estimate reliability of the calculated project effectiveness indicators. Hardly can such estimations be made by means of traditional methods of financial analysis; either low or high reliability of the obtained effectiveness indicators could serve as an additional argument in favor of negative or positive decision on the project finance, allowing a venture capital fund to allocate the resources among the analyzed innovative projects more efficiently. On the whole, the use of the real options combined with the fuzzy sets method is sure to expand venture capital tools used for financial justification of submitted projects.

Ab initio calculations of free energy of activation at multiple electronic structure levels made affordable: An effective combination of perturbation theory and machine learning
Authors: Bucko Tomas , Gešvandtnerová Monika , Rocca Dario
Published: July 2020

While free energies are fundamental thermodynamic quantities to characterize chemical reactions, their calculation based on ab initio theory is usually limited by the high computational cost. This is particularly true if multiple levels of theory have to be tested to establish their relative accuracy, if highly expensive quantum mechanical approximations are of interest, and also if several different temperatures have to be considered. We present an ab initio approach that effectively couples perturbation theory and machine learning to make ab initio free energy calculations more affordable. Starting from results based on a certain production ab initio theory, perturbation theory is applied to obtain free energies. The large number of single point calculations required by a brute force application of this approach are here significantly decreased by applying machine learning techniques. Importantly, the training of the machine learning model requires only a small amount of data and does not need to be performed again when the temperature is decreased. The accuracy and efficiency of this method is demonstrated by computing the free energy of activation of the proton exchange reaction in the zeolite chabazite. Starting from an ab initio calculation based on a semilocal approximation of density functional theory, free energies based on significantly more expensive non-local van der Waals and hybrid functionals are obtained with only a few tens of additional single point calculations. In this way this work paves the route to quick free energy calculations using different levels of theory or approximations that would be too computationally expensive to be directly employed in molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations.
Autocatalysis in Chemical Networks: Unifications and Extensions
Authors: Blokhuis Alex , Lacoste David , Nghe Philippe
Published: July 2020

Autocatalysis is an essential property for theories of abiogenesis and chemical evolution. However, the different formalisms proposed so far seemingly address different forms of autocatalysis and it remains unclear whether all of them have been captured. Furthermore, the lack of unified framework thus far prevents a systematic study of autocatalysis. Here, we derive general stoichiometric conditions for catalysis and autocatalysis in chemical reaction networks from basic principles in chemistry. This allows for a classification of minimal autocatalytic motifs, which includes all known autocatalytic systems and motifs that had not been reported previously. We further examine conditions for kinetic viability of such networks, which depends on the autocatalytic motifs they contain. Finally, we show how this framework extends the range of conceivable autocatalytic systems, by applying our stoichiometric and kinetic analysis to autocatalysis emerging from coupled compartments. The unified approach to autocatalysis presented in this work lays a foundation towards the building of a systems-level theory of chemical evolution.

Carbon dot (CD) and palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) composites are semiconducting materials having tremendous applications in catalysis with suitable bandgap. However, their combination with suitable polymer matrix in sono-photo-catalysis has not been explored. Herein, we have synthesized and characterized a new nano-hybrid catalyst from polyamide cross-linked CD-polymer and subsequent deposition of Pd NPs. Sonocatalytic activity of 99% rhodamine B dye-degradation was achieved in mere 5 minutes (min) under dark. Model catalyst replacing CD with benzene and other control studies revealed that synergistic effects of CD and Pd NPs enhances the sonocatalytic activity of nano-hybrid catalyst. Interestingly, visible light did not influence the activity significantly. While mechanistic investigations suggest that generation of reactive oxygen species on the surface of CD-polymer initiated by ultrasound which further facilitated by Pd NPs is the key for remarkable catalytic activity (rate constant 0.99 min-1). Recyclable heterogeneous catalyst under ambient conditions are promising for the utility of exploring sono-assisted dark-catalysis for several avenues.

Heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) spectroscopy is one of the key tools in the arsenal of the solid-state NMR spectroscopist to probe spatial proximity between two different nuclei and enhance spectral resolution. Dipolar heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (D-HMQC) is a powerful technique that can be potentially utilized to obtain 1H detected 2D HETCOR solid-state NMR spectra of any NMR active nucleus. A long-standing problem in 1H detected D-HMQC solid-state NMR experiments is the presence of t1-noise which reduces sensitivity and impedes spectral interpretation. In this contribution, we describe novel pulse sequences, termed t1-noise eliminated (TONE) D-HMQC, that suppress t1-noise and can provide higher sensitivity and resolution than conventional D-HMQC. Monte-Carlo and numerical simulations confirm that t1-noise in conventional D-HMQC primarily occurs because random MAS frequency fluctuations cause variations in the NMR signal amplitude from scan to scan, leading to imperfect cancellation of uncorrelated signals by phase cycling. The TONE D-HMQC sequence uses 1H p-pulses to refocus the evolution of 1H CSA across each recoupling block, improving the stability of the pulse sequence to random MAS frequency fluctuations. The 1H refocusing pulses also restore the orthogonality of in-phase and anti-phase magnetization for all crystallite orientations, enabling the use of 90° flip-back or LG spin-lock trim pulses to reduce the intensity of uncorrelated signals. We demonstrate the application of these methods to acquire detected 2D 1H-35Cl and 1H-13C HETCOR spectra of histidine•HCl•H2O with reduced t1-noise. To show generality, we also apply these methods to obtain 2D 1H-17O spectra of 20%-17O fmoc-alanine and for the first time at natural abundance, 2D 1H-25Mg HETCOR spectra of magnesium hydroxide. The TONE D-HMQC sequences are also used to probe 1H-25Mg and 1H-27Al proximities in Mg-Al layered double hydroxides and confirm the even mixing of Mg and Al in these materials.

Design of materials with novel sensitivities and smart behaviour is important for the development of smart systems with automated responsiveness. We have recently reported the synthesis of hydrogels, cross-linked by N,N'-diallyltartardiamide (DAT). The covalent DAT-crosslinking points have vicinal diols which can be easily cleaved with periodate, generating valuable a-oxo-aldehyde functional groups, useful for further chemical modification. Based on those findings, we envisioned that a self-healable hydrogel could be obtained by incorporation of primary amino functional groups, from 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride (AEMA), coexisting with DAT into the same network. The a-oxo-aldehyde groups generated after the reaction with periodate would arise in the immediate environment of amine groups to form imine cross-links. For this purpose, DAT-crosslinked hydrogels were synthesized and carefully characterized. The cleavage of DAT-crosslinks with periodate promoted changes in the mechanical and swelling properties of the materials. As expected, a self-healing behavior was observed, based on the spontaneous formation of imine covalent bonds. In addition, we surprisingly found a combination of fast vicinal diols cleavage and a low speed self-crosslinking reaction by imine formation. Consequently, it was found a time-window in which a periodate-treated polymer was obtained in a transient liquid state, which can be exploited to choose the final shape of the material, before automated gelling. The singular properties attained on these hydrogels could be useful for developing sensors, actuators, among other smart systems.
Semi-Supervised Machine Learning Enables the Robust Detection of Multireference Character at Low Cost

Multireference (MR) diagnostics are common tools for identifying strongly correlated electronic structure that makes single reference (SR) methods (e.g., density functional theory or DFT) insufficient for accurate property prediction. However, MR diagnostics typically require computationally demanding correlated wavefunction theory (WFT) calculations, and diagnostics often disagree or fail to predict MR effects on properties. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a semi-supervised machine learning (ML) approach with virtual adversarial training (VAT) of an MR classifier using 15 WFT and DFT MR diagnostics as inputs. In semi-supervised learning, only the most extreme SR or MR points are labeled, and the remaining point labels are learned. The resulting VAT model outperforms the alternatives, as quantified by the distinct property distributions of SR- and MR-classified molecules. To reduce the cost of generating inputs to the VAT model, we leverage the VAT model’s robustness to noisy inputs by replacing WFT MR diagnostics with regression predictions in a MR decision engine workflow that preserves excellent performance. We demonstrate the transferability of our approach to larger molecules and those with distinct chemical composition from the training set. This MR decision engine demonstrates promise as a low-cost, high-accuracy approach to the automatic detection of strong correlation for predictive high-throughput screening.

As our understanding of disease grows, it is becoming established that treatment needs to be personalized and targeted to the needs of the individual. In this paper we show that multi-material inkjet-based 3D printing, when backed with generative design algorithms, can bring a step change in the personalization of medical devices. We take cell-instructive materials known for their resistance to bacterial biofilm formation and reformulate for multi-material inkjet-based 3D printing. Specimens with customizable mechanical moduli are obtained without loss of their cell-instructive properties. The manufacturing is coupled to a design algorithm that takes a user-specified deformation and computes the distribution of the materials needed to meet the target under given load constraints. Optimisation led to a voxel map file defining where different materials should be placed. Manufactured products were assessed against the mechanical and cell-instructive specifications and ultimately showed how multifunctional personalization emerges from generative design driven 3D printing.
