Torrefaction Process of Needles, Cones and Bark of Spruce (Picea Abies (L.) Karst) and Pine (Pinus Sylvestris L.)
Authors: Butnaru Elena , Brebu Mihai
Published: July 2022

The actual problems related with the depletion of fossil resources and the accentuated increase of global warming requires rapid shift to renewable and eco-friendly alternatives. Biomass forestry residues are valuable candidates that can be used as sustainable resources. Torrefaction is a mild thermal treatment that can convert biomass into value-added liquid and solid products. Here we performed torrefaction at 250 �C of needles, cones and bark from spruce and pine, as representative coniferous species in Romanian Carpathians. The elemental analysis of solid materials was performed and the calculated O/C and H/C atomic ratios showed that torrefaction placed the solid materials in the region of coals, close to the origin of the Van Krevelen diagram. The calorific values were improved, leading to higher energy density. The energy yield was close to the unit, indicating that torrefaction is a highly efficient process. The liquid products had complex composition, with compounds coming from the compositional and structural changes in the forestry residues. Terpenes are the dominating compounds from volatile extractives. Furans, from which furfural and 5-methylfurfural were the main compounds produced from degradation of hemicelluloses, while phenol derivatives were produced from lignin. Exploratory data analysis revealed diferences between samples from spruce and pine but also between needles, cones and bark.

Authors: Abouzeid Fatma M. , Alshammery Sultanah
Published: July 2022

Copper electro dissolution in H3PO4 acid is examined in solution containing different concentration of Hibiscus extract (Hibiscuss abdariffa). Potential of anode limiting current relation were computed and estimate of gently raising Hibiscus extract concentration (500-2000 ppm), The results reveal that Hibiscus extraction as a natural product has strong retardation behavior ranging from 24.5 � 42.1 % and the thermodynamic factors, adsorption isotherm and dimensionless parameters were given. Copper dissolution behavior in Hibiscus extract containing solution was investigated below ordinary convection and rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) as a compulsory convection. The rotating cylinder electrode RCE speed was investigated. The limiting current increases with increasing rotation, which indicates that the anodic corrosion is a diffusion-controlled process. The limiting current were reduced with raising extract plant concentration and raise with amplifying temperature from 293 -313 K). The activation energy values established which reaction rate was controlled via diffusion. Hibiscus extract adsorption follow Flory Huggins and kinetic thermodynamic models. The result at several circumstance was commanded via dimensionless correlations Sherwood (Sh), Schmidt (Sc) and Reynolds (Re) numbers.

Published: July 2022

The green belly stink bug, Diceraeus furcatus (Fabricius, 1775) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is an emergent Neotropical crop pest, whose status has progressively changed in the last few years. Diceraeus furcatus is a polyphagous stink bug and its feeding behavior damages corn seedlings, wheat and oat spikes, and soybean pods, causing economic losses. Establishing stock populations of D. furcatus is difficult, and a suitable rearing method is lacking. The establishment of stock colonies is essential to study many aspects of a species, especially economically important ones. In this paper, a method to keep viable stock populations of D. furcatus in the laboratory is described. The periodic asepsis of cages (48 hours), periodical change of diet (48 hours), and mixed diet consisting of bean pods plus peanut and soybean grains, allowed us to obtain adequate biological parameters and population increase of this species. Fertility (251 eggs/female), fecundity (225.91 nymphs/female), and R0 (43 times of increase) show a consistent increase in the population. Additionally, adult survivorship/longevity and weight support the suitability of the method applied. The establishment of stock populations is the first step for a mass-rearing method that is essential to the development of biological control programs and other studies on this emergent pest.

The article is devoted to the definition of entities authorized to form the public (public) interest, as well as entities that are authorized to apply to administrative courts in order to protect the public (public) interest. Based on the analysis of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, it was found that the subjects that determine the content of public (public) interest are, first of all, state bodies.

It is determined that in Ukraine the most important issues in the field of public and state life are determined by the laws of Ukraine, so the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is the body tasked with defining the content of public (public) interest. It has been established that the law-making activity of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is significantly influenced by the public (representatives of civil society institutions) and international organizations (institutions of the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and others).

It is proved that the subjects of protection of public (public) interest are: state bodies in cases specified by law, as their task is to maximize the interests of all social groups to achieve justice in society as the highest good; local governments in order to protect the violated interests of the territorial community; the prosecutor in the absence of a body empowered to protect public (public) interests in the relevant field and in the relevant territory, or improper performance of such tasks by such body; public organizations, which by statutes give the right to protect public (public) interests in a particular area.

Based on the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine, the need to supplement paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Art. 131-1 of the Constitution of Ukraine and Art. 23 of the Law of Ukraine «On the Prosecutor's Office» provisions on the powers of the prosecutor's office to represent, in addition to state, also public interests.

THE CONCEPT OF «CONFLICT OF INTEREST» IN THE LEGAL POSITIONS OF SUPREME COURT
Authors: Zahyhynei-Zabolotenko Zoe , Demiak Paul
Published: July 2022

The article is sanctified to the problem of understanding the concept «conflict of interest» and its characteristics in the legal positions of Administrative Court of Cassation as a part of Supreme Court of Ukraine.

It is educed that such that such legal positions touch the correct definition of characteristics of private interest, potential and real conflict of interest, finding out people who are subordinated to a person who is authorized to perform state or local self-government functions, and it can causes potential or real conflict of interest.

In particular,in legal positions of Supreme Court explain that restricting the joint work of close people is a type of conflict of interest, because it causes a private interest from a person who is authorized to perform the functions of state or local self-government.

It is important to note that close people are people who live together, have common life, mutual rights and duties.

Setting only of living together of a person who is authorized to perform the functions of state or local self-government and a subordinated person does not mean that they are close people. So, relations of subordination do not mean that the conflict of interest is real in this situation.

A potential or a real conflict of interest arises in a situation where a close person of a person who is authorized to perform the functions of state or local self-government does not work under his authority, but carries out person’s activities in the area of jurisdiction of the body in which this person works.

Legal and social (private) relations which determine the emergence of property or non-property interest are important in determining the existence of private interest.

Private interest can have the consequence both positive influence (a person has aspiration to thank and others like that) on a situation and negative (to inflict troubles and others like that). These legal positions can be used in bringing the guilty persons to administrative responsibility under the Code of Administrative Offenses.

Key words: conflict of interest, potential conflict of interest, real conflict of interest, private interest, relatives, jurisdiction.

With so many airlines competing with each other, airlines are competing to become the consumer/market's main choice, but to achieve this, there is no airline strategy that can predict the price of airline tickets according to market needs. To meet the needs of airlines, we need a way to determine the price of airline tickets according to market needs with the help of the influence of technology and information. This research method was carried out using Google Collaboratory as a media to create a data model automated machine learning (AutoML) with the Random Forest, Logistic Regression and Gradient Boosting Regressor algorithms. In this study, the model that produced the highest R2 value and the lowest RMSE was a random forest with an R2 value of 83.91% and an RMSE of $175.9. However, from the three models, Random Forest got a change in accuracy of 1.96% to 85.87. To assist in predicting the determination of flight fares, airline companies can more easily and be alert to determine flight fares that are in accordance with the market. Therefore, Random Forest can be declared better than Logistic Regression and Gradient Boosting models. The Random Forest model that has been created can be used to predict in real-time using Machine Learning.

Review question / Objective: Is sonic activation techniques more effective than conventional needle irrigation for the tubular dentin sealer penetration. The included study was a randomized controlled trial. Eligibility criteria: A comprehensive search was conducted for all published studies evaluating efficacy of percentage and maximum depth of sealer penetration, following the use of SI and standardized irrigants (NaOCl and EDTA). Because this can hardly be measured clinically, only confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies were selected owing to wide use of this methodology for evaluating tubular dentin sealer penetration. The studies using previously filled roots or animal teeth, artificial debris, and plastic blocks, and studies measuring the penetration of tubular dentin sealers in lateral root canals, isthmus, or artificial grooves were excluded to maintain the standardized sample selecting and measuring (Virdee et al. 2018). The search was limited to articles published between January 2000 and June 2022 to ensure conclusions were drawn from contemporary data. There are no language restrictions on filtering articles to ensure the integrity of included data.

The article analyzes the possibility of using the model “Income Share Agreement” (ISA) as a source of additional funding for higher education institutions. Examples of the application of similar approaches in foreign practice are given. In the developed model, in addition to the main participants: the university, the investor and the student, for the first time an additional subject of the industry market is introduced – a recruitment agency. The substantiation and assessment of the significance of the participation of a recruitment agency in achieving maximum competitiveness in the educational activities of universities is given. The paper identifies the main areas of research on the experience of implementation of ISA in educational relations. It is emphasized that the priority areas of research on ISA relationship in education are devoted to the opportunism of the parties with asymmetry of information: the main concerns relate to the emergence of “adverse selection” and “moral hazard” effects in ISA relations. The paper deals with the main legal and ethical problems of the implementation of ISA in educational relations. The authors note that it is the transformation of ISA into a stock asset that requires additional legal regulation. The research problem is represented by the ethics of the assignment of rights under the ISA in favor of third parties (investors). If an educational organization can sell a student’s ISA to an investor, then it can receive income before the graduate gets a high-paying job. If an educational organization really adheres to the interests of the student, and guarantees the quality of the educational program, it should not withdraw from such financial obligations. If an educational organization sells its students ISA, it means to the stock market that it does not believe in their future income.

The formation of a KPI assessment mechanism for improving the level of municipal management necessitates the development of theoretical foundations and practical grounds. Substantiation of key indicators for assessing managerial efficiency and competitiveness that can be quantified and form a certain KPI indicator for further analysis in relation to the field of municipal management. The article discusses the methodology of assessing managerial efficiency by calculating KPIs to determine the level of municipal governance, which can become an effective mechanism of municipal governance and ensure the establishment of a close relationship between the institutions of municipal government and society. The methodology for assessing the managerial efficiency and competitiveness of a municipality is based on classical actions based on the principles of scientific research, forms and methods of scientific cognition. The author substantiates the theoretical principles of the study of the problems of municipal education for the formation of a mechanism for assessing managerial efficiency and competitiveness, and also proposes a model for the formation of a mechanism for assessing managerial efficiency and competitiveness by determining key KPIs for further analysis and improving the level of municipal management.

The active promotion by the Government of the Russian Federation of measures to support small and medium-sized businesses through the system of state and municipal procurement from 2022 (the obligation to purchase at least 25% of their needs and small and medium-sized businesses instead of 15% from 2014 to 2021 [1]) has led to actualization of questions about barriers to entry into the state order markets. The purpose of the study is to create a “competition map” on the basis of which an entrepreneur entering the public procurement market will be able to determine in which industry and regional markets it is more efficient to work, taking into account the current level of competition. To achieve the stated goal, the following tasks were implemented: the results of the procurement activities of all Russian regions for 2020 and 2021 were analyzed in the format of a competition matrix: the participation of suppliers from each Russian region in procurements announced in each of the regions was evaluated, the probability of winning was determined depending on the combination participant-region”, as well as “region-object of procurement”. During the study, statistical tools were used to work with average data on competition and key factors and measurements that have a correlation. The sources of information were 3,976,711 notices and their corresponding public procurement protocols from the open data of the EIS ftp server for 2020 and 2021, collected and processed by a program written in Python using the PostgreSQL 12 database. Based on the results of the research, recommendations were given to procurement participants on which regional and industry markets it is more efficient to participate in procurement, and where the maximum probability of winning is guaranteed.

Machine learning is the ability of machines to learn from past experiences using historical data (supervised and semisupervised cases) to solve a given problem. Machines make decisions using Artificial Intelligence (past experiences). Companies adequately understand that increasing business efficiency and employee productivity are of supreme importance to thriving in a highly competitive digital environment. Any process can be automated as long as there is a clear operating procedure available. In today’s time, almost every sector is automating things to minimise cost and improve reliability. So, we need something that will resolve this. In this paper, we will study the many good and bad impacts of artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation on employment. We will also discuss some ideas to minimise the bad impact and maximise the good impact in the related fields

Biodegradable based ternary blends has good antimicrobial properties and it has been verified against gram / negative E. coli, Pseudomonas sp. aeruoginosa, and gram-positive Staphylococcus sp. S. aureus bacteria. The comparison of binary and ternary blended reveals that more inhibition zone efficiency is found for ternary blended. Chitosan/nylon 6/clay (1:1:2), (2:1:1) and (1:2:1) respectively were reported. The binary blends inhibition zone chitosan/clay (2:1) recorded the maximum zone of inhibition in comparison with the standard chloramphenicol against E. coli (39 mm), Pseudomonas sp. aeuroginosa (36 mm), followed by S.aureus (22 mm). Most of the polymer blends showed higher inhibitory activity against Gram-negative strains than the Gram-positive bacteria. The antifungal activity of the chitosan polymer blends is seen and this activity is more pronounced against fungi. The inhibition was stronger in the order of chitosan/nylon 6/clay (2:1:1) followed by Chitosan/nylon 6/clay (1:1:1) and (1:1:2) against Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and candida tropicalis. A higher inhibitory zone was recorded against Aspergillus niger (36 mm), Candida albicans (33 mm), and Candida tropicalis (36 mm) by chitosan/clay (2:1:1) when compared with standard amphoterecin B. Meanwhile Chitosan/nylon 6/clay (1:2:1) showed less activity. The present study is aimed to fetch the knowledge about the antimicrobial properties of biodegradable polymer based ternary blends in detail.

India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world, where its economic stability is hugely reliant on its infrastructure and people. In India, 85% of existing buildings are unreinforced masonry (URM) and 5-7% are reinforced concrete and 5-7% are traditional buildings. And most buildings do not qualify to resist earthquakes, technically we can say they would not be able to resist earthquake loads. In the past, we have seen at the time of several earthquakes, we lost millions of lives and the economy of that region. In the Study, we have reviewed various research papers on Seismic Vulnerability and conclude its findings. Keywords: Seismic vulnerability, Existing Building, Vulnerability Assessment

This research is a comparative analysis between aggregatesfrom the Picoazá - Megarok Basaltic quarry in Portoviejoand from the Ahon Mine in Quevedo, the purpose is toanalyze and characterize the stone aggregates from thePicoazá Basaltic quarry and from the Ahon Mine to designconcrete mixes and their impact on the performance forconstruction; an experimental methodology was applied.Samples were tested at the Soil Mechanics Laboratory ofthe Technical University of Manabi. Among the tests usedwere: angels machine, coarse granulometry, finegranulometry, specific weights, loose unit weights, unitweights, rodded unit weight, sulfate test, abrasion test, aswell as the preparation of specimens to be tested to simplecompression and to verify the resistances at ages of 7, 14,21, 21, 28 days. Obtaining differentiated results, it isconcluded that the aggregates of the Picoaza MegarokBasaltic quarry have greater resistance to compression inconcretes than the Ahon Mine that come from a riverbed,these resistance drops of approximately 15% with respect to the Picoaza quarry, are due to the content of siltmaterial present in the aggregate.
