Authors: Wang Bo , Kao Hongtao
Published: April 2023

The cement industry has become the second largest source of CO2 and NOx emissions after the power industry, it is imperative to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions. O2/CO2 combustion technology can achieve CO2 enrichment and NOx reduction. As a result, its application possibilities are bright. In this article, a TTF-type decomposition furnace serves as the research object for a CFD simulation. In addition, the effects of pulverized coal combined O2/N2 and pulverized coal mixed O2/CO2 combustion on the velocity field, temperature field, material component, and NOx concentration distribution in the furnace are investigated concerning the changes of kinetic parameters of CaCO3 decomposition under different working conditions. Compared with the O2/N2 atmosphere, the temperature distribution in the high temperature zone of the decomposition furnace is more uniform under the O2/CO2 atmosphere. The temperature range is reduced in the area of extremely high temperatures. The NOx concentration at the decomposition furnace exit is reduced by 37%. The high concentration of CO2 at the output can be recycled and reused to reduce the greenhouse effect effectively. In addition, the high CO2 partial pressure increases the exit temperature by 111 K, doubles the O2 concentration, but decreases the raw meal decomposition rate from 95.9-82.2%. The process parameters must be improved to adapt to the O2/CO2 combustion technology.

Published: April 2023

As an essential component of the supercritical CO2 recompression Brayton cycle, the recuperator has a significant impact on the efficiency and stability of the entire cycle system. The printed circuit heat exchanger is the most suitable heat exchanger for the recuperator in the supercritical CO2 recompression Brayton cycle. To investigate the effects of the structural parameters of the asymmetric AFF on the thermo-hydraulic performance of the printed circuit heat exchangers, simplified 3-D numerical simulation models for the printed circuit heat exchanger with National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics 85XX series asymmetric AFF were built. An optimization method combining an orthogonal experiment and a quadratic polynomial surrogate model with a multi-objective genetic algorithm was proposed to obtain the optimal structural parameters. The results show that the fin thickness, lb, has the most significant effect on the comprehensive performance and fluid-flow performance, and the transverse spacing, lc, has the highest influence on the thermal performance. The optimum structural parameters set are a combination of the transverse spacing of 3.9 mm, the longitudinal spacing of 11.5 mm, and the fin thickness of 0.77mm.
A numerical scheme for Darcy-Forchheimer flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid under the effects of convective and zero mass flux boundary conditions
Authors: Arif Muhammad , Shatanawi Wasfi , Nawaz Yasir
Published: April 2023

This research aims to propose a numerical scheme for solving boundary value problems. It is a two-stage, third-order accurate scheme known as a predictorcorrector scheme. The two main results are finding the region of the scheme where it is stable and determining the stability criterion for a set of linearized first-order differential equations. In addition, a mathematical model for heat and mass transfer of Darcy-Forchheimer flow of non-Newtonian nanofluid over the sheet is presented. The similarity transformations reduce PDE into a system of ODE for easier manipulation. The results are compared with the past research and those obtained by MATLAB SOLVER BVP4C. The results show that the velocity profile slightly decays by enhancing the Weisenberg number.

Authors: Pei Houju , Cui Yonglong , Liu Meinan , Yang Kaijie
Published: April 2023

Flow and heat transfer characteristics of NACA vortex generator with curveddivergent walls are numerically studied and the corresponding heat transfer enhancement mechanism is also analyzed by local streamlines, velocity vector diagram and velocity contour diagram. The variation of vortices at different positions along the flow direction is also illustrated. The impacts of the width, W, and height, H, on the heat transfer as well as pressure loss are investigated with Reynolds number ranging from 3602 to 9004. Additionally, both Nusselt number and ?p are considered when evaluating the comprehensive performance. The results show that as the width and height increase, the average Nusselt number and ?p increase as well. Compared with the channel without the NACA vortex generator, the average Nusselt number and ?p increased by about 7.3% and about 3.6%, respectively, by W = 30 mm; the average Nusselt number and ?p increased by about 7.6% and about 4.5%, respectively, by H = 10 mm. The variation of comprehensive performance shows an opposite trend. The ? obtained the largest value of about 1.042 and 1.04 in the case of W = 10 mm and H = 4 mm, respectively. Additionally, the variation of the local Nusselt number is similar to that of the Y-vorticity.

Authors: Zhang Xiaoyan , Ke Yaping , Liu Lang , Liu Li , Han Ziyi , Liu Qingjiang
Published: April 2023

A PCM was added to filling materials in an appropriate proportion to realize the effective collection and storage of geothermal energy. Based on the theory of heat transfer and similarity, the heat-storage performance of filling body was numerically simulated in different states, then, the influences of paraffin proportion, initial temperature of filling body, surrounding rock temperature, stope air-flow temperature, and velocity on the heat-storage behavior of filling body were analyzed. The results revealed that reducing the initial heat-storage temperature of filling body, increasing surrounding rock temperature, and increasing the air-flow temperature in the stope all effectively increased the heatstorage capacity of filling body. In which the influence of initial temperature and surrounding rock temperature were more significant. At the end of 16 hours heatstorage period, when the initial temperature of filling body was reduced from 24?C to 18?C, the heat transfer capacity of filling body without paraffin and that with 5% paraffin decreased by 2.85 ? 103 kJ and 2.40 ? 103 kJ, respectively. When surrounding rock temperature increased from 35?C to 45?C, the amount of heat stored by two bodies increased by 3.89 ? 103 kJ and 4.51 ? 103 kJ, respectively.

Authors: Ganesan Dhanushkodi , Madhavan Venkata , Ramalingam Velraj
Published: April 2023

The effect of solar irradiation on the temperature of an electronic device attached to a heat sink is studied. Heat sinks with different surface treatments are considered for this study. The contribution of absorbed solar heat by the Al2O3 coated fin surface varies from 2.1% to 12.4% of the heat generated by the electronic devices and it reveals that the amount of solar heat absorbed by the black painted heat sink is almost equal to the heat generated by the electronics system. It is also found that the percentage of heat transfer by radiation varies from 6.2% to 11.0% for commercial finish heat sinks and is as high as 58.7% for a black painted heat sink. The combined effect of emissivity and solar absorptivity is studied to optimize the heat sink. For 10 mm fin height, the black painted heat sink illustrates better performance and for 20 mm and 30 mm fin height, the Al coated heat sink exhibits better performance. The temperature of the electronic device increases when the base area of the heat sink is increased beyond 700 cm2, which is the optimum base area. When the fin height is increased to 20 mm, the optimum base area for the black painted and Al2O3 coated heat sink is also increased to 780 cm2 and 850 cm2, respectively, thus reducing the device temperature further. The CFD results are validated with the temperature measurement conducted on the heat sink exposed to solar irradiation.

Authors: Zuo Min , He Zhen-Zong , Sun Shi-Jie , Mao Jun-Kui , Dong Chuan-Hui
Published: April 2023

An air-kerosene thermal mass coupled turbine blade with kerosene micro-channels added to the traditional laminated structure turbine blade is proposed, and numerical simulations are carried out. The enhanced heat transfer mechanism of the air-kerosene thermal mass coupled turbine blade is studied, and the influence of different kerosene temperatures, blowing ratios, and solid thermal conductivity on the heat transfer of the laminated turbine blades is analyzed. The results show that adding kerosene micro-channels can significantly reduce the blade temperature and change the cooling gas heat transfer direction inside the laminate cooling structure. Compared with the traditional laminate cooling structure, adding kerosene micro-channels can significantly improve the heat transfer performance of the blades, and the integrated cooling efficiency increases by 31.7%. Moreover, when the kerosene temperature decreases from 400-300 K, the cooling efficiency increases by 3.9%. Similar conclusions can be obtained by studying the increases in the blowing ratio and the solid thermal conductivity, respectively.

Authors: Fan Qindong , Zhang Huixin , Zhang Chenming
Published: April 2023

Bioclimatic design can effectively affect the environmental thermal comfort level through changing the surface of the study area. Using Zhengzhou Beach Park as a case study, the impact of three different bioclimatic design methods (changing pavement only, changing design only and changing both pavement and design) on outdoor thermal comfort, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed under the ENVI-met model is quantitatively analysed. The results show that the three bioclimatic design schemes significantly affect the predicted mean vote of the site. The overall decrease in predicted mean vote average after pavement renovation pavement renovation is about 0.03, the overall increase in predicted mean vote average after design renovation design renovation is about 0.01, and the overall predicted mean vote average decrease after combined renovation is about 0.02. The relation among different predicted mean vote values and occupied areas under different bioclimatic design backgrounds is quantified, and the difference-value of climate index change were visualized for the first time. This study firstly uses a series of figures to show different trends of predicted mean vote and their area changes under the background of different transformation modes, which can effectively promote the refinement of the research on biological climate design.

Authors: Somer Aloisi , Novatski Andressa , Lenzi Marcelo , da Silva , Lenzi Ervin
Published: April 2023

We apply an extension of dual-phase-lag in thermal systems to predict the photoacoustic signal for transmission configuration and characteristics of the open photoacoustic cell technique. For this, we consider a particular case from Jeffrey?s equation as an extension of the generalized Cattaneo equations. In this context, we obtain the temperature distribution under the effects of fractional differential operators, allowing the calculation of the Photoacoustic signal for the transmission set-up. The results show a rich class of behaviors related to the anomalous diffusion connected to these fractional operators.

Authors: Zhang Xin , Fu Zeming , Zhou Tianyu , Liu Jinjiang , Yang Min , Nie Xingxin , Wu Huagen , Cheng Ping , Guo Tong , Luo Xiaoxin
Published: April 2023

In this paper, the CFD-DEM coupling method was utilized to study the water cleaning and regeneration process of fibrous filter material. The effects of cleaning flow rate, time and adhesion force on the particle removal process were simulated. The results showed that the particle removal rate had a diminishing marginal effect with the increasing of cleaning flow rate. More than 80% of the particles were removed in the initial period, and then tended to stabilize. The higher the flow rate, the shorter the time needed to achieve stability. For G4 filter material, the function between the particle removal rate and the cleaning flow rate and time was given, and the best cleaning flow rate was 1.2 m/s while the cleaning time was 30 seconds. The surface energy of the fibers plays a dominant role in the cleaning process, and the reduction 1/4 of the surface energy of the particles can effectively improve the cleaning and regeneration performance.

Authors: Mando Mahmoud , Talaat Sameh , Bourauel Christoph
Published: April 2023

Objectives

To evaluate the efficacy of chewing gum on the intensity of pain in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Materials and Methods

A search strategy that included both a manual search and a search of electronic databases was implemented; the electronic databases included PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), ScienceDirect, Scopus, and EBSCO. Only randomized controlled trials were included in this study. All of the studies were assessed independently and in duplicate in accordance with the exclusion and inclusion criteria. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias within the included studies, and the GRADE approach was used to evaluate the certainty of evidence.

Results

Sixteen RCTs were included in the final analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that chewing gum significantly reduced pain intensity in comparison to pharmacologic agents (mean difference [MD] −0.50 [95% confidence interval {CI} −0.90 to −0.10], P = .01). When compared with a placebo, chewing gum significantly reduced pain intensity (MD −0.60 [95% CI −1.06 to −0.13], P = .01), while bite wafer and chewing gum groups had the same levels of reduction in pain intensity (MD −0.15 [95% CI −0.56 to 0.26], P = .48).

Conclusions

In patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, chewing gum was significantly more effective than both pharmacologic agents and placebo in reducing orthodontic pain 24 hours after the initial placement of the archwire.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Postpartum Lipidomic Signatures, and Subsequent Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: A Lipidome-Wide Association Study
Authors: Wang Guoying , Buckley Jessie P. , Bartell Tami R. , Hong Xiumei , Pearson Colleen , Wang Xiaobin
Published: April 2023

OBJECTIVE

To identify a postpartum lipidomic signature associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and investigate the role of the identified lipids in the progression to type 2 diabetes (T2D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This prospective cohort study enrolled 1,409 women at 24–72 h after delivery of a singleton baby and followed them prospectively at the Boston Medical Center. The lipidome was profiled by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Diagnoses of GDM and incident T2D were extracted from medical records and verified using plasma glucose levels.

RESULTS

Mean (SD) age of study women at baseline was 28.5 (6.6) years. A total of 219 (16.4%) women developed incident diabetes over a median follow-up of 11.8 (interquartile range 8.2–14.8) years. We identified 33 postpartum lipid species associated with GDM, including 16 inverse associations (primarily cholesterol esters and phosphatidylcholine plasmalogens), and 17 positive associations (primarily diacyglycerols and triacyglycerols). Of these, four were associated with risk of incident T2D and mediated ∼12% of the progression from GDM to T2D. The identified lipid species modestly improved the predictive performance for incident T2D above classical risk factors when the entire follow-up period was considered.

CONCLUSIONS

GDM was associated with a wide range of lipid metabolic alterations at early postpartum, among which some lipid species were also associated with incident T2D and mediated the progression from GDM to T2D. The improvements attained by including lipid species in the prediction of T2D provides new insights regarding the early detection and prevention of progression to T2D.

Authors: C Nwankwo
Published: April 2023

The amount of carbon stored in the mangrove sediments in Kibani area of Eastern Niger Delta was quantified. The objectives were to determine the sediment bulk density (SBD) and organic carbon concentration (%C), and estimate the amount of organic carbon stock in the top 100-cm depth of mangrove sediments and its carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 e). A total of 312 sediment samples were collected from 24 different sampling points at seven locations. An open-cylindrical gouge auger of 100-cm length and 5-cm diameter was designed and fabricated for the purpose of sediment sampling. Field measurement, laboratory analysis, data presentation and result presentation followed the Guidelines for Forest Carbon Measurement, Monitoring and Reporting. The sediment type has a major control on the distribution of organic carbon. The lithology is a typical of mangrove forest and included peat and clay with pockets of sands. Sediment bulk density (SBD) and %C ranged from 0.95 g/cm3 to 1.97 g/cm3 (mean = 1.30 g/cm3 ) and 0.9 % to 33.6 % (mean = 12.48 %) respectively. Carbon stocks ranged from 24.12 ± 15.18 Mg C ha-1 to 3245.76 ± 15.18 Mg C ha-1 (mean value = 39.80 Mg ha-1) while CO2 e ranged 88.52 ± 15.18 Mg CO2 ha-1 to 11,911.94 ± 15.18 Mg CO2 ha-1 (mean = 2,348.07 ± 15.18 Mg CO2 ha-1). The total carbon stock of the study area was estimated at 947.78 ± 55.64 Gg C, equivalent to 3,478.36 ± 55.64 Gg CO2 . The study revealed that 732,595.71 ± 55.64 Mg of carbon dioxide is stored in the sediments. This amount could either be removed or released to the atmosphere through forest management practices and/or degradation to exacerbate climate change and /or mitigate it. It is recommended that Niger Delta region of Nigeria should be protected against all anthropogenic-related degradation which influence the amount of carbon storage.

Authors:   Sapienza University of Rome, Talebian Sedehi Kamelia
Published: April 2023

The last residential school in Canada, for Aboriginal students, was shut down in 1996; however, its percussions has affected not only the survivors but their next generations. By reading literary works, the audience can be informed of what happened in the past. The literary work merges narrativization and history to the extent that literature is involved in the action of creating a new form of narrative testimony to rethink historical incidents. History is transformed by bearing literary witness to residential schools in Canada. Sonia Perron's Billydéki (2019), not only bears literary witness to residential schools in Canada but also indicates the transformational relationship between narrative and history. In reading Billydéki, there is the possibility of finding out what residential schools have done to Aboriginal communities. Its language transmits eye witness's direct experience through the various characters at the moment of abuse and, therefore, historicize these incidents. The narrative does not tell, this is what happened, but it shows us through the eyes of various characters who were present at the moment of trauma; either being engaged in it or having onlooker stand. The aim of this paper is applying Judith Herman’s concept of trauma and Shoshana Felman and Dori Laub’s concept of testimony and witnessing to Sonia Perron's Billydéki, in order to shed light on the historical incidents that happened at residential schools and left unspoken for some time.
THE DEPICTION OF STRUCTURAL AND CIVIL ENGINEERING IN VITRUVIUS’S TEN BOOKS ON ARCHITECTURE — A STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW
Authors:   Federal University Oye-Are Road, Fapohunda Christopher
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Ten Books on Architecture (De Architectura) is a treatise by Vitruvius that describes construction work, as taught and practiced in the 1st century. In it, the functions and duties performed in the built environment by architects, construction workers, civil engineers, surveyors, sculptors, decorators, etc., are all lumped together into either architecture or civil engineering. However, for civil engineers, who operate both in built and unbuilt environments, the scope and depth of subjects covered by this work could serve as useful resources as they develop their competences in core practical aspects of civil engineering. Materials and Methods: This paper explores Ten Books on Architecture in relation to civil engineering in the 21st century. The materials used for this work were obtained from internet sources, university libraries, textbooks, write-ups and commentaries that were purchased from open markets and bookshops. Results: The review shows that: (i) the profession of the architect, used in the times of Vitruvius interchangeably with the civil engineer and town planner, as well as the very concept of architecture or civil engineering, in terms of social standing, differs significantly from the present times; (ii) most of the projects discussed in the book form the core of what is classified in the 21st century as civil engineering; (iii) civil engineers ought to be versatile in the art solving of problems that may arise during the course of construction, both in the built and unbuilt environments; and (iv) the buildability issues of civil engineering make knowledge of how to assemble simple construction equipment a necessity. Conclusion: Though not recommended in the curriculum, a working knowledge of either Latin or Greek will help to make the book an indispensable companion for structural and civil engineering practitioners and also enhance their performance capacity.

Introduction: Earthquakes are one of the most frequent and potentially disruptive natural disasters. Up to this day, numerous methods have been tested and applied to prevent damage to buildings and structures as a result of earthquakes. Currently, one of the widely used methods is to provide seismic isolation between the building and the ground. Its main purpose is to reduce the interaction between the building and the ground as well as the impact of soil movement on the building. For our study, we chose a system of lead rubber bearings as isolators used to improve the seismic resistance of buildings. Purpose of the study: We aimed to expand the tool kit for the analysis of seismic isolation based on rubber bearings and demonstrate the effectiveness of ETABS software. Methods: The paper investigates the behavior of an isolation system with lead rubber bearings for various earthquake records with the use of ETABS software according to UBC-97 standards and software developed specifically for this study in Excel. Results: Based on the developed software, we analyzed how changes in properties of base isolators affect the behavior of structures exposed to earthquakes.

Authors: Naoaj Md Shah
Published: April 2023

This study analyzes the determinants of liquidity risk in the banking sector using panel data from 28 banks and three different models: Pooled, Fixed Effect, and Random Effect. The results show that leverage has a consistently positive effect on liquidity risk, while the regulatory environment and bank size have a negative effect. Return on assets (ROA) and capital adequacy ratio (CAR) have varying impacts depending on individual bank characteristics. Real GDP has a consistently negative relationship with liquidity risk. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and bank managers on how to manage liquidity risk in the banking sector.
Cost Analysis of Outpatient Care for Mental and Behavioral Disorders due to Psychoactive Substance Use: A Study of Four Community and Two General Hospitals in Thailand
Authors: Suanrueang Passakorn , Wongsin Utoomporn
Published: April 2023

This cost analysis study gathered cost information from four community hospitals and two general hospitals in the fiscal year 2014, including service data, hospital statistics, and financial information. The study aimed to analysis and estimate the treatment costs of outpatient mental and behavioral disorders (MBDs) due to psychoactive substance use, provided at community and general hospitals in Thailand. We used ICD-10 codes, F10-F19, to handle the diagnosis codes of MBDs due to psychoactive substances and cost analysis. The unit cost per OPD visit was analyzed according to the cost analysis guidelines of the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand, using two procedures: a traditional method and a cost-to-charge ratio.

The great majority of service expenses were labour costs (53%), followed by material costs (42%) and capital costs (6%). The unit cost per OPD visit for substance use disorders (SUD) in 2014 ranged between 172 and 762 THB. It was adjusted by the inflation rate to estimate the cost for 2021. The costs were growth in the range of 204 to 905 THB. The median cost estimate in 2021 from four community hospitals and two general hospitals, each accounting for 396 and 769 THB, respectively.

The unit SUD visit costs of OPD from these six hospitals are quite close to the unit costs of the drug treatment centers. The greatest proportion of total service expenses was labor costs. Accordingly, human resources are believed to be a crucial challenge that needs to be considered and planned to deliver successful services.  

Notably, these hospitals were selected by purposive sampling and might not be representative of each hospital type. More hospitals should, therefore, be recruited in further research to represent the actual cost by hospital type.

The healthcare industry is witnessing seismic shifts as medicine becomes more personalised, health data becomes valuable, and data sharing becomes essential, demanding the healthcare sector to re-strategise.
This research aims to understand the various innovations and change-management techniques based on technology that have been adopted by healthcare industries in today's VUCA world while exploring the innovations needed to drive the Indian healthcare sector in the years to come. Thus, it examines and highlight the implications of the rising emphasis being placed on innovations in the healthcare industry - helping the sector to re-strategise and face the changes in today’s VUCA world with greater clarity. This paper is also designed to call attention to and discuss contemporary perspectives taken by top healthcare organisations in India before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This research is based on secondary data, including intensive analysis of research papers, media articles and grey literature reports, along with examining the recent innovations undertaken by the top healthcare companies and hospitals in India. The findings suggest that moving away from a supply-driven healthcare system toward a patient-centred system is necessary, and therefore organisations in India have to embrace innovation, agility, and adaptability in unison to brave the VUCA times.
The Effectiveness of Scenario-Based Training of Clinicians in the Use of Electronic Health Records – A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Olley Richard , Hozynka Jeremy
Published: April 2023

The digitalisation of healthcare represents another change challenge for clinicians, and the most prominent of these is the Electronic Health Record (EHR).  Adopting the EHR, including the training of clinicians of all disciplines, often does not occur effectively, which increases the risk of adverse events and the reduction in the quality and safety of clinical care.   The competent use of the EHR requires clinician user training.  One form of training is scenario-based. The questions asked of the literature in this SLR are what evidence exists as to the effectiveness of using scenarios to train clinicians in using the EHR, and is there a research gap in this evidence to inform future research?

To undertake this systematic review of the literature, the researchers implemented the PRISMA Method. Only highly ranked, health-related academic databases accessed through an electronic library catalogue were used to search for relevant peer-reviewed/refereed articles.  The decision to apply the PRISMA method was based on the PRISMA statement, which safeguards comprehensive reporting and transparency to ensure inferred recommendations and interventions are based on the best available evidence.  

6,898 records were returned from Boolean searches for articles published between November 2018 to November 2021.  Five articles were included for greater analysis following exclusions by title review, abstract review, and quality assessment.  Quality assessment of articles reporting empirical studies relating to the effectiveness of using scenarios in this type of training was performed using the standard quality assessment scoresheet by Kmet [48].

Three themes emerged from the literature.  The centrality of workflow, Clinician engagement are key, and scenario-based training is one of many training strategies implemented. 

The authors found that further rigorous research studies are required to enhance the evidence body for the continued usage of scenario-based training of clinicians to effectively use the EHR, particularly as the digital landscape within health continues to evolve.  Moreover, the authors posit that further research on scenario-based EHR training of clinicians should include:

Scenario-based training is just one part of a broader and blended EHR training suite.

Ensuring future studies encompass a diversity of all fields of clinical roles within the research and,

Include standardised terminology naming for clinicians' scenario-based EHR training within the studies.

Resource-based View: A new strategic perspective for public health service managers
Authors: Kosiol Jennifer , Fraser Linda , Fitzgerald Anneke , Radford Katrina
Published: April 2023

The resource-based view (RBV) theory is a widely accepted strategic management theory, particularly within private sector organisations. [1,2,3] However, within public healthcare settings, the level of empirical support available on the use and appropriateness of RBV within this environment is largely unchartered.  Consequently, this paper aimed to further understand the level of evidence for the purpose of providing an insight into how it may be used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public health organisations.
An extensive literature search returned a total of 859 studies.  Of these, just 13 studies met the inclusion criteria of being an investigation of the use of RBV theory in public sector healthcare organisations. The analysis conducted demonstrates that while the use of RBV theory has been relatively slow, the benefits are positive. 
The practical application of RBV theory lies in strategically mapping the relationships between resources, capabilities, and public value, relevant to healthcare organisations, in order to gain and understand how public value is created to provide a competitive advantage and superior performance for the organisation.
Analisis Ekonomi Politik Terhadap Kebijakan Pemerintahan Jokowi Pada Sektor Kawasan Industri Halal (KIH) dan Perbankan Syariah
Authors: Dahlan Ahmad , Wildan Muhammad
Published: April 2023

The government of President Joko Widodo in the 2014-2020 is a government led by the main party of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP). It's party is nasionalism but in the policy of developing the Halal Industrial Area and Islamic Banking, many breakthroughs have been developed.
