Authors: Pogačar Andreja , Bolanča-Mirković Ivana , Gregor-Svetec Diana
Published: December 2023

Labels are a crucial component of products, offering informational content and attractive visuals; therefore, the durability of the print is an important quality requirement. On the other hand, in accordance with eco-design, the recyclability of printed labels is vital. In our research, the focus was on the assessment of the durability, recyclability, and deinkability of printed label paper equipped with printed RFID tags. The determined color fastness of electrophotographic prints affected by various environmental factors showed good resistance to dry rubbing and, in most cases, light and moist–heat treatment, confirming the applicability of digital printing on self-adhesive biodegradable paper labels. In the second part of this study, recyclability was assessed, and a comparison between the deinkability of the offset and digital prints and two conductive functional inks was conducted. Good deinkability was observed for the printed RFID antennas on both the offset and electrographic prints, with only a small deterioration in optical properties, especially when nano-silver conductive ink was used. The study highlights the importance of the selection of materials and printing techniques when considering the environmental impact of printed electronics. The results showed that INGEDE 11 is a suitable deinking method for printed RFID antennas on offset and electrographic prints.
Can Human Capital Drive Sustainable International Trade? Evidence from BRICS Countries
Authors: Choi Chang-Hwan , Zhou Xuan , Ko Jung-O
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the causal relationship between human capital and economic factors in BRICS countries using a panel vector autoregressive model and data from 1997 to 2020. The economic factors considered include foreign direct investment (FDI), imports, exports, and gross domestic product (GDP). The study conducts a comparative analysis of Brazil, India, China, Russia, and South Africa by adopting a vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The findings indicate a bidirectional causality between human capital and FDI in China, while a unidirectional causality from FDI to human capital is observed in Brazil. Moreover, a unidirectional causality exists from human capital to GDP in Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa. Additionally, a unidirectional causality is found from human capital to imports and exports in South Africa. Overall, the results suggest the pivotal role of human capital in achieving sustainable economic development in BRICS countries. Policymakers should ensure sustained investment in human capital, focusing on economic growth, FDI, and international trade.
Stereoselectivity in Butadiene Polymerization Promoted by Using Ziegler–Natta Catalysts Based on (Anilidomethyl)pyridine Group (IV) Complexes
Authors: Milione Stefano , Pragliola Stefania
Published: December 2023

The stereoselective polymerization of conjugated dienes promoted by using transition metal complexes has attracted much interest in both industrial and academic environments for the relevance of polydienes as synthetic rubbers and for the challenging reaction mechanisms. Among the different transition metal complexes, those based on group IV have been demonstrated to be versatile and efficient catalysts. Titanium complexes are generally more active than zirconium complexes. A rare exception to this trend is represented by a series of Zr(IV) complexes supported by (anilidomethyl)pyridine ligands that, after activation by using Al(iBu2H)/MAO, were found to be highly active affording exclusively cis-1,4-polybutadiene. To rationalize this unexpected trend and to obtain more insights into the parameters that control the reactivity of group IV complexes, a theoretical investigation of the entire polymerization mechanism, employing density functional methods, was undertaken. In the framework of the widely accepted polymerization scheme, the different intermediates featuring h4 (both cis and trans) coordination of the monomer and h1 or h3 (syn or anti)allyl coordination of the growing chain were scrutinized. Subsequently, the effects of the metal center on the free-energy profiles of the elementary steps involved in the reaction were examined. The results presented herein aim to achieve a better knowledge of the influence of the metal on the polymerization rates and on the stereoselectivity of the reaction.

Authors: Guyasa Alemayehu Kabeta , Guan Yiqing , Zhang Danrong
Published: December 2023

Climate change has an impact on water resources. Estimations of the variations in water balance under climate change variables are essential for managing and developing the water resource of a catchment. The current investigation evaluated the magnitude of the change in the water balance component of the Akaki catchment, Ethiopia, using the semi-distributed hydrological model, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), with the integration of the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment of Africa under RCP4.5 and 8.5. The SWAT model was developed using spatial and temporal data; it was calibrated (1991–2001) and validated (2002–2004) using SWAT-CUP. The statistical monthly SWAT model performance values of the NSE, PBIAS (%), and R2 showed good agreement between calibration and validation. On an annual basis, projected rainfall is expected to increase by 14.96%, 4.13%, 8.39%, and 10.39% in the 2040s under RCP4.5 and 8.5 and in the 2060s under RCP4.5 and 8.5, respectively, with inconsistent change on a monthly projections basis for each scenario. The projected monthly and yearly temperatures are expected to increase under different climate change scenarios. Annual evapotranspiration and potential evapotranspiration increased under both RCPs, whereas surface runoff, lateral flow, and water yield declined under the climate scenarios of each RCP. Monthly projected water yield showed a non-uniform change in the first 30 years and in the second years under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. These results show that the catchment is highly vulnerable to hydrological and agricultural drought due to water availability. These research findings provide valuable evidence on the role of climate change in water balance, which will help decision makers to achieve better water resource management.

Authors: DELANO DE ASSUNÇÃO RAMON , MARIANO CORRÊA MACENO MARCELL
Published: December 2023

Packaging and crepe adhesive tapes are common items in the retail market and in the daily lives of Brazilian consumers. In this article, through a case study, an evaluation was carried out on these types of adhesive tapes sold in retail regarding possible converting processes, cost calculation, capital investment and considerations on finished product quality and maintenance of machinery in the production process. In a two-step converting process, rewinding followed by cutting, it was observed lesser need for capital investment, lesser need for specialized labor and lower maintenance costs. For a single-step converting process, with simultaneous rewinding and cutting, it was observed better productivity, higher quality and lower finished product cost due to the more efficient converting process. However, for this type of single-step process, a bigger capital investment is necessary due to investment in more complex machinery, higher expenditure on more qualified labor and maintenance. A cost sensitivity analysis of the converting processes and finished product was also carried out depending on the desired output in order to compare process scenarios at different output levels for both products.

VOLYN PROVINCE MAGISTRATE: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IMPERIAL COURT PROCEDURE (1796-1797)
Authors: Shevchuk Andriy
Published: December 2023

Abstract

This article aims to examine the process of developing the state court procedure for citizens in the border province of Volyn, in adherence to the imperial "Establishments...". To determine the role of Volyn Province Magistrate as an audit and appeal institution within the regional judicial system, it is necessary to analyze both the theoretical and practical aspects of its operations.

The methodology employed in this study incorporates general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and specialized historical (historical-genetic, historical-systemic, historical-typological, prosopographic) methods, along with the principles of historicism, systematicity, and scientificity. This methodology enabled a concentrated examination of the operation of one of the components of the state judicial system for citizens. The analysis and classification of archive documents required the application of critical evaluation and categorization methods.

The scientific novelty of the study lies in the author’s novel analysis of the operations of an institution distinct from the Rzeczpospolita model, which had already been in operation within the internal provinces of the empire, using archival materials. Inferences are also drawn concerning the place of this institution in the system of state court proceedings for citizens. It is proved that the main role in the work of the institution was played by non-local officials and clerks. The range of issues that were resolved in the magistrate is determined.

Conclusions. The imperial policy after the incorporation of the Right Bank was aimed at the complete subjugation of local elites and urban class representatives. This was achieved through establishment of administrative and judicial institutions as outlined in the "Establishments..." (1775). Burghers and merchants were endowed with an exclusive legal system. The Volyn Provincial Magistrate, which was composed of non-local officials and clerks, acted as an audit and appeal intermediary for the courts of first instance – city magistrates. The internal operation of the institution adhered to established conventional practices, which encompassed, among other things, officials undertaking business trips, instances of non-compliance with management directives, and errors in paperwork. Due to the succession of the monarchy, the estate court system, which had been structured in accordance with the "Establishments..." (1775), was eliminated.

O recorte trazido para este momento refere-se ao questionamento feito a sete professores de uma universidade pública sobre o início de suas carreiras no magistério superior. Pelas análises, como marcas constitutivas dos sujeitos da pesquisa, foi possível depreender que o mal-estar do início de carreira relaciona-se ao fato de ter de aprender a ser professor somado a um contexto de desamparo institucional.
CYKL – sposoby na zrównoważone wykorzystanie materiałów stosowanych na wydziałach architektury
Authors: Strojny Rafał , Małys Dominika , Wachowska Marta
Published: December 2023

Artykuł dotyczy papieru i tektury jako materiałów będących podstawowym elementem pracy studentów architektury.
W dobie cyfryzacji oraz zmian klimatycznych ważne jest zrównoważone podejście do zarządzania materiałami – w tym przypadku wykorzystywanymi na wydziałach architektury. Celem badań była próba znalezienia zrównoważonych metod wykorzystania papieru i tektury przez studentów architektury, a także zwiększenie świadomości od najmłodszych lat. W badaniach wykorzystano technikę wywiadu pogłębionego, metodę badań ilościowych i statystycznych, heurystyczną oraz eksperymentalną. Na podstawie badań oszacowano, iż przez okres pięciu lat studiów architektonicznych zużywa się papier i tekturę w ilości wymagającej do ich produkcji wycięcia ponad 600 drzew. Podejście eksperymentalne obejmowało warsztaty i „burzę mózgów” podczas których studenci rozpatrywali sposoby bardziej zrównoważonego wykorzystania danych materiałów. Efektem tych rozważań jest wystawa CYKL otwarta 10 stycznia 2023 roku na Wydziale Budownictwa i Architektury Politechniki Lubelskiej przez Koło Naukowe Architektury i Budownictwa Ekologicznego „Archinature”. Obejmuje ona instalacje inżynierskie, architektoniczne i artystyczne przedstawiające w nieszablonowy sposób cykl produkcji papieru, cykl jego „życia” oraz przejście do ery cyfrowej w projektowaniu architektonicznym. Wystawę poprzedzały warsztaty dla dzieci ze szkoły podstawowej, które miały czynny wkład w budowę części instalacji. W związku z tym zaproponowano metody na zrównoważone podejście do materiałów wykorzystywanych na wydziałach architektury.
„Biodegradowalny dom” – projektowanie w sposób zgodny z naturą jako wyzwanie dla architekta
Authors: Kocki Wojciech , Kasprzycka Karolina
Published: December 2023

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie możliwości zastosowania wybranych materiałów pochodzenia naturalnego w budownictwie jednorodzinnym. Impulsem do wykonania studialnej pracy projektowej jest wzrost globalnej emisji dwutlenku węgla, w którym sektor budowlany odgrywa istotną rolę. Rozwiązaniem ograniczającym emisję gazów cieplarnianych jest stosowanie materiałów biodegradowalnych, wśród których możemy wyróżnić kompozyt konopno-wapienny.  Dzięki praktycznym cechom, konopia jest masowo wykorzystywana w różnorodnych gałęziach przemysłu w tym w architekturze. W pracy dyplomowej inżynierskiej zwrócono szczególną uwagę na możliwość zastosowania kompozytu konopnego w projektowanych elementach architektonicznych. Przyjęto założenie minimalizacji materiałów o niekorzystnych właściwościach i dużym śladzie węglowym, zmniejszając tym samym zużycie energii oraz negatywne oddziaływanie budynków mieszkalnych na środowisko.

In the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one of them is overcoming the problem of stunting. Socioeconomic conditions are a supporting factor in the level of stunting in Indonesia. The government's efforts to tackle the problem of stunting are by providing financial assistance and nutritious staple foods. These efforts will certainly be effective with good financial behaviour. This research aims to examine the level of determinants of financial behaviour. The determinants of financial behaviour that are studied in this research are the effect of financial literacy, the effect of financial attitudes and the effect of lifestyle on the financial behaviour of families with stunted children in the Wundulako Community Health Center Working Area, Kolaka Regency. This research is quantitative (explanatory research). The data analysis was carried out was measuring the structural model testing model using the Structural Equations Model (SEM) analysis technique using PLS 3.0. This research shows that financial literacy and financial attitudes have a significant positive effect on financial behaviour. However, lifestyle does not have a significant effect on financial behaviour.

In this work, heteroepitaxial growth of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) on a large single-grain of thin film N,N’-Di-n-octyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI-C8) was investigated. Vacuum-deposited PTCDI-C8 thin films at a growth temperature of ∼180 °C exhibited large grain growth of several hundred micrometers or more in size, and their surface consisted of stripe islands with molecular steps. CuPc deposited at 180 °C on this PTCDI-C8 large grain underlayer was found to grow epitaxially with its needle-like crystals dominantly oriented in one unique direction. The mechanism of the observed epitaxy is discussed based on the results of in-plane X-ray diffraction and the initial growth morphology.

Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to examine the nexus of sustainable supply chain management and organisational performance perceptions of academics and practitioners in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria.
Research Methodology: Data were collected using questionnaires from 122 respondents in the Awka region. The data were analysed using descriptive, correlation and regression analysis for the test of hypotheses.
Results: The linear regression showed that DC components of collaboration and resilience are positively related to OP; with the latter non-significant.
Limitations: This study was limited by its sample size of 122 academics and practitioners and restrictions on the SSCM and OP nexus. The sample may have affected the generalizability of our results. The study does not address the other dimensions of TBL such as organisational social and environmental concerns.
Contribution: The analytical results of the research contribute to the body of knowledge, enabling practitioners to organise and implement sustainable supply chain efforts as well as monitor and evaluate how these initiatives impact the operations of Nigerian enterprises in the long run.
Attention-Based Methods for Emotion Categorization from Partially Covered Faces

Published: December 2023

Emotions are considered to convey much meaning in communication. Hence,
artificial methods for emotion categorization are being developed to
meet the increasing demand to introduce intelligent systems, such as
robots, into shared workspaces. Deep learning algorithms have
demonstrated limited competency in categorizing images from posed
datasets with the main features of the face being visible. However, the
use of sunglasses and face masks are common in our daily lives,
especially with the outbreak of communicable diseases such as the recent
coronavirus. Anecdotally, partial coverings of the face reduce the
effectiveness of human communication, so would this have hampering
effects on computer vision, and if so, would different emotion
categories be affected equally? Here, we analyze the performance of
emotion classification systems when faces are partially covered with
simulated sunglasses and face masks. Deep neural networks consider all
pixels in an image as equally important unlike the neuroscientific
findings on how humans recognize emotions. Hence, we propose a method
that considers different constituent parts (e.g. mouth, eyes, and jaw)
separately, giving more attention to relevant (uncovered) regions of the
face. The method is compared with three standard, partial
coverings-based and attention-based methods. We found that face
coverings worsen emotion categorization by up to 74% for the
state-of-the-art methods, whereby emotion categories are affected
differently by different coverings, e.g. clear mouth coverings have
little effect on categorizing happiness, but sadness is affected badly.
The proposed method (on average 60.43%) has significantly improved the
performance over the standard deep learning (< 46% on
average), partial coverings-based (< 47% on average), as well
as the attention-based (< 51% on average) methods for both
the CK+, KDEF, and RAF-DB datasets when faces were partially covered
with sunglasses or different face masks.

In a world where traditional authentication systems are constrained, the introduction of voice-based authentication provides a viable option. This cutting-edge biometric security method uses unique vocal traits including pitch, tone, and speech patterns to create a unique voiceprint. Its sophisticated and dependable verification procedure, when combined with voice-activated services and secure access systems, not only solves au-thentication issues but also improves user experience overall. Our suggested method provides a thorough blueprint for developing a lightweight voice authentication system that is based on text. This system leverages an effective encoder model to convert voice spectrograms, making deployment easy even on edge devices with limited resources. Various dimensionality reduction techniques are explored to obtain optimal voice embeddings that capture speaker uniqueness while minimizing model complexity. A key novelty is the application of model compression techniques including lightweight architectures and Siamese Networks to obtain highly condensed voice embeddings for each user, reducing storage and infrastructure costs compared to traditional voice authentication methods. The proposed lightweight spectrogram embeddings leverage language-agnostic acoustic features, enabling language-independent speaker verification. Additionally, dimensionality reduction applied during voice registration allows the capturing of discriminative voice characteristics in a low-dimensional compact feature space. This significantly cuts down the storage requirements and infrastructure costs per user compared to standard voice biometric approaches, while retaining competitive verification performance. The architecture is optimized for responsiveness by leveraging lightweight frameworks. The proposed system delivers competitive voice authentication capabilities while minimizing memory, computational, and energy footprints. This makes the system useful for integration into smart devices and paves the way for ubiquitous voice biometrics.
Torque-Induced-Overshoot Reduction Inspired Compensator for PMSM using Motor-Physics Embedded Gaussian Process Regression

Published: December 2023

In safety-critical control for permanent magnet synchronous motors
(PMSMs), overshooting after adding a spontaneous load is a crucial
metric, leading to the unexpected motion of driving equipment, which
induces potential unsafe problems. Therefore, it is necessary to develop
a control method that effectively reduces overshoot in PMSMs.
Recognizing the nature of overshoot effects, a data-driven approach,
Gaussian process regression (GPR), is employed to generate the
prediction. With a focus on maintaining the advantage of the GPR method,
while preserving the physical properties of PMSM, an overshoot
reduction-inspired motor physics embedded Gaussian Process Regression
method (OR-MPE-GPR) is proposed. Inspired by the shape of the overshoot,
the squared exponential (SQE) kernel function is chosen for GPR.
Furthermore, by using sufficient conditions to achieve stability, the
dynamic stable range and static stable range of updating rate are
derived to guarantee the stability of the proposed machine learning
control algorithm. Finally, comprehensive simulations and experiments
compared with the state-of-the-art methods are conducted, showcasing the
superior performance of the proposed method in reducing overshoot while
preserving static performance within a stable region.
