Published: February 2024

The results of determination of orientation changes occurring on the surface of large-crystalline Al (99.96%) samples in situ during their plastic deformation under conditions of active loading with constant strain rate έ = 5∙10-5s-1 are presented. The studies were performed using the technique of obtaining color orientation maps from the specimen surface and subsequent visualization of color shades indistinguishable on it. This allowed us to obtain a number of new results regarding the orientational changes of grains and subgrains and to determine the possible mechanisms of such changes. For the first time the impact of disappearance of grain boundaries was detected and the mechanisms of grain reversal as a whole were determined. For a number of grains, a relay change in the orientation of subgrains in the grain from one boundary to another along the direction of sample stretching was recorded. It is experimentally shown that in this mechanism of orientational changes the maximum relative grain deformation is achieved. In the second case, the orientation changes of the grain as a whole are provided by a layer containing subgrains of 1…5 m in size, the orientation of which changes continuously during the deformation.

Authors: Jamaluddin Nur Irdina Iwani Mohd , Yusoff Mohd Zaki Mohd , Malek Mohd Firdaus
Published: February 2024

The growing prevalence of solar in recent years, which is applied in practically every daily item comprehensively and broadly to make it simpler on consumers due to the consumption of solar resulting in a lot of savings. Anti-reflective coating (ARC) is one of the most important factors contributing to the extensive application of solar. It was acknowledged that ARC had been applied on solar cells to minimize reflection loss, enhance absorption, and boost power conversion efficiency (PCE). The efficiency of solar cell varies depending on the type of ARC material used and its specific characteristics. Since each anti-reflective coating originates from its own formula, there are many different materials produced and manufactured to be applied on solar cells. Hence, in this paper, the simulation of 6 different materials of anti-reflective coating (ARC) coatings has been analyzed and investigated using PC1D simulation software. The outcomes revealed that the ideal wavelength for developing and constructing an ARC would be around 500 and 800 nm. Silicon nitrite (Si3N4) would be the best ARC for designing a single-layer ARC due to its highest efficiency of 21.69 % and exhibits the lowest reflectance, closely followed by zinc oxide (ZnO) which has the efficiency of 21.67 %. Then, zinc sulphate (ZnS) and Titanium Oxide (TiO2) has the efficiency of 21.16 and 21.05 % respectively. While, the silicon dioxide (SiO2) has an efficiency of 20.23 % and lastly, silicon carbide (SiC) has lowest efficiency of 17.07 %. Based on the PC1D simulation software carried out in this research, the data and outcomes regarding the voltage, current, maximum power output, solar efficiency, fill factor, reflectivity, and external quantum efficiency are also reported.

Published: February 2024

Background: Treatment with proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and decreases the incidence of major ischaemic events in clinical trials. However, less is known about the efficacy of PCSK9 inhibition in clinical practice. This study aimed to describe the change in LDL-C levels over time and LDL-C goal achievement in patients with/without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), who were prescribed evolocumab in clinical practice, and to describe adherence to and persistence with treatment.

Methods: Patients in Sweden with at least one evolocumab prescription filled between July 2015 and May 2020 were included. Medical history and lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) were sourced from national registries. LDL-C levels before and after treatment initiation were assessed using medical records. Persistence with and adherence to evolocumab and oral LLT were assessed up to 12 months after treatment initiation using the refill-gap method and proportion of days covered, respectively.

Results: Of the 2,360 patients with at least one prescription for evolocumab, 2,341 were included; 1,858 had ASCVD. Persistence with (76%) and adherence to (86%) evolocumab were high throughout the 12 months following initiation. Mean LDL-C levels decreased by 53% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 51–55%) in patients adherent to evolocumab (n = 567) and 59% (95% CI: 55–63%) in patients adherent to evolocumab and oral LLT (n = 186). Similar reductions in LDL-C were observed in patients with/without ASCVD. Reduced LDL-C levels remained stable during follow-up. Amongst patients adherent to evolocumab and those adherent to evolocumab and oral LLT, 23 and 55% achieved the LDL-C goal of <1.4 mmol/L, respectively.

Conclusions: The evolocumab LDL-C-lowering effect observed in clinical trials was confirmed in clinical practice in Sweden, particularly in patients also treated with oral LLT. During follow-up, adherence to and persistence with evolocumab were high, with stable reduced levels of LDL-C during observation.

Spectral Efficiency for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
Authors: Ms. Swarnita Gorakshnath Kale  , Prof. Kale G. B.
Published: February 2024

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a special form of multicarrier modulation (MCM) with heavily spaced subcarriers as well as overlapping spectra was patented in the United States of America in 70s. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing has been popularly utilized in modern days due to its ability for spectral efficiency and robustness to noise and fading. It provides flexibility and agile spectrum allocation in case of cognitive radios. This paper will focus on OFDM research and simulation for enhancement of spectral efficiency. OFDM is especially compatible for high-speed wireless communication due to its resistance to Inter symbol Interference. As in modern days communication systems has increased their data transfer speed, the required time for each transmission has become very short. As delay time due to multipath remains constant, Inter symbol interference became limitation in high-data-rate communication. OFDM avoids this difficulty by transmitting numerous low speed transmissions simultaneously
Excavation of Hushed Voices: A Spatio-temporal Imaginary Discourse on Socio-ethics in Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day
Authors: Oaikhena Abigail
Published: February 2024

The concept of the ‘Great Chain of Being’, which influences the narrative style of the Renaissance Period of English Literature, depicts the hierarchical state of the old English Society. Suggestively, it’s a society driven by class/status and its attendant structures of inequality, discrimination and oppression. Hence, literary narratives of this period revolve round the travails of Kings and nobles, while subjecting the common men to the background. Subsequently, the esoteric state of the society, which was usually captured from the third person point of view, helps to question the place of truth in these literary narratives, as they could be liken to glossary reports from spectators, devoid of participant’ direct contribution(s). However, with the writing(s) of Kazuo Ishiguro, an Asian-British, there comes a direct feel of participant’s contribution in his narratives as he deconstructs the style of the old traditional English narratives in his novel, The Remains of the Day. Consequently, with the application of the first-person point of view in his novel, readers could explore the socio-cultural dispositions of every society and individual within the purview of ethics, politics and development. In furtherance, this study gives a historicized spatial alternate or temporal reality of an Old English society system - a system anchored on classism, professionalism and superficial orderliness devoid of ‘social interactions’ and freedom, especially for the workmen or common men. The emergence of an American Lord after the death of the English Lord gives a contrastive alternative pattern against that of the English. Hence, this alternate reflection of the American presence further deconstructs every long-held tradition in Darlington’s Hall as the author reveals that perceptions are influenced by cultural ingenuity which borders on the socio-cultural/socio-political formation of every society and individuals.

El impacto de la covid-19 sobre el orden constitucional español
Authors: Parra Gómez David
Published: February 2024

La fuerte conmoción sufrida en los regímenes constitucionales de nuestro entorno por la pandemia del coronavirus se ha visto reflejada, principalmente, en la generación de estados de emergencia o excepción (formales o de facto), la atenuación de los controles parlamentarios sobre las medidas adoptadas por los gobiernos (que han supuesto la privación o limitación de los derechos fundamentales y las libertades públicas) e, incluso, la revisión de algunos de los supuestos ideológicos del constitucionalismo (por ejemplo, el modo de concebir la intervención del Estado sobre la sociedad o los controles y equilibrios entre poderes). Por lo que se refiere a España, los problemas más relevantes y controvertidos que, desde la perspectiva del derecho constitucional, ha traído consigo la pandemia del coronavirus han sido la preterición del Parlamento, del que la suspensión de su actividad al inicio de la crisis y el uso excesivo y arbitrario del decreto-ley son sus muestras más significativas, y el relativo a la conformidad con la Constitución de las medidas restrictivas de derechos adoptadas para afrontar la emergencia de salud pública provocada por la covid-19, que no solo ha sido cuestionada por diferentes resoluciones judiciales y parte de la academia, sino por el mismo Tribunal Constitucional, que ha llegado a desautorizar las decisiones más significativas de los titulares del poder de excepción.
La nueva letra e) del artículo 81.2 de la Ley 29/1998. Imposibilidad sobrevenida del recurso de casación contra sentencias de los juzgados. ¿Error legislativo? Especial incidencia en materia tributaria
Authors: Ardura Pérez Ángel
Published: February 2024

El Real Decreto-Ley 6/2023 introduce la letra e) en el artículo 81.2 de la Ley 29/1998, ampliando las sentencias de los Juzgados de lo Contencioso-Administrativo que son susceptibles de recurso de apelación, al hacer siempre susceptibles de tal recurso las sentencias de los juzgados «que, con independencia de la cuantía del procedimiento, sean susceptibles de extensión de efectos».
Pero tal reforma va a tener otras consecuencias procesales que no parece que hayan sido previstas por el legislador. De un lado, conllevará la imposibilidad de interponer recurso de casación contra las sentencias de los juzgados de única instancia susceptibles de extender efectos, ya que, a partir de esta reforma, tales sentencias, por aplicación de la nueva letra e) del artículo 81.2 de la ley, lo serán en primera instancia y por tanto ya no serán susceptibles de recurso de casación conforme al vigente artículo 86.1 de la ley jurisdiccional.
De otro, en contra de lo que parece la finalidad de la reforma, previsiblemente va a suponer un aumento de la litigiosidad al incrementarse el número de resoluciones de los juzgados susceptibles de recurso de apelación, incremento que no solo afectará a las sentencias, sino también a los autos.
La modificación del sistema tendrá una especial incidencia en materia tributaria. Un gran número de sentencias de los juzgados en esta materia susceptibles de extensión de efectos que antes de la reforma eran dictadas en única instancia ahora lo serán en primera instancia.
“The Spanish Adventurer”: Ottoman Surveillance of Aladro Kastrioti, the Pretender for the Albanian Throne
Authors: Thaçi Atdhe
Published: February 2024

This article delves into the intriguing case of Juan Pedro Antonio Aladro, a Spanish individual whose claims of being rightful heir to the throne of Albania captivated European newspapers in 1902. Through an analysis of historical sources and contemporaneous newspaper articles, this paper explores Aladro’s background, his alleged aristocratic connections, and his self-proclaimed lineage as a descendant of George Kastrioti Skanderbeg. This work investigates the response from the Ottoman Empire, specifically the surveillance conducted by the Ottoman Foreign Ministry in light of Aladro’s claims, and highlights the dismissive view the ministry held towards Aladro’s ambitions, characterizing him as an adventurer driven by personal gain rather than as a credible contender for the Albanian throne. The Ottoman authorities closely monitored Aladro’s movements, from his travels to Corfu where he held meetings with associates to his subsequent journey to Naples, which created a state of uncertainty regarding his exact whereabouts. By examining historical records and newspaper accounts, this article attempts to shed light on the perception of Aladro and the broader context of the Albanian situation at the time. It also explores the intricate interplay between European diplomacy and Aladro’s quest for an independent Albania, as well as the skepticism foreign powers expressed towards his claims.

Published: February 2024

The field of entrepreneurial education has received increased global research interest in recent decades. This is evident in the simultaneous recognition and interrogation of the roles of the institutions of higher education in the enhancement of students’ entrepreneurial skills. The analysis of extant and recent studies beckons the need for a multi-layered and complex review of the strategic position of the institutions of higher education in this enterprise. Continued promotion and internalization of entrepreneurial values and skills demand deliberate engagement and integration of the covert curriculum at the institution of higher education. This article utilizes an in-depth review of literature to ascertain the state of entrepreneurial study in South Africa's institutes of higher education. To exploit the current wave of increased interest in entrepreneurial education in the South African context, it is important to draw attention to the current state of entrepreneurial education with the view to unpacking the ambiguities and gaps in the existing approach. This paper enriches the comprehension and analysis of gaps in current trends of entrepreneurial education in South African higher education institutions.

Authors: Ciszek Przemysław
Published: February 2024

Artykuł przestawia historię i stan obecny piractwa gier wideo w Polsce. Proceder ten jest niemal tak stary jak same gry. W Polsce lat 80. XX wieku była to powszechna praktyka m.in. z powodu braku oficjalniej dystrybucji zachodnich gier. W kolejnych dekadach piractwo komputerowe zostało spenalizowane, ale skala zjawiska zasadniczo nie malała. Ewoluował za to jego charakter – handel bazarowy został zastąpiony przez internet i przesyłanie plików różnymi sposobami (peer-to-peer, hostingi i inne). Mimo iż twórcy i wydawcy gier od lat starają się utrudnić bezprawne kopiowanie swoich produktów, piraci nieustannie próbują łamać zabezpieczenia. Prezentowane opracowanie powstało głównie w oparciu o zastosowanie kwerendy internetowej i archiwalnej pozwalającej na dotarcie do dawnych informacji o zjawisku.
Fascynacja informacjami z zakresu paranauki i pseudonauki w mediach społecznościowych podczas globalnej pandemii
Authors: Jedlińska Paulina
Published: February 2024

Niniejszy artykuł jest analizą problematyki związanej z definiowaniem pseudonauki i pokrewnych pojęć oraz przedstawia wpływ globalnej pandemii na wzrost zainteresowania użytkowników internetu tematami okultystycznymi, ezoterycznymi i związanymi z czarostwem. W kontekście tego zagadnienia przywołano wydarzenia historyczne dotyczące podejścia badaczy do tematyki czarów, w tym tzw. polowań na czarownice, które wywoływały ogólnoświatowe zainteresowanie magią. Artykuł prezentuje również wzmożone zainteresowanie tymi tematami, które zostało wywołane przez religię wicca, wprowadzającą je na nowo, jednak w pozytywnym kontekście. Warto podkreślić, że dopiero rozwój internetu spopularyzował konta i profile czarownic na tak dużą skalę oraz obszary związane z pseudonauką w zakresie czarostwa. Ostatnia część artykułu oscyluje wokół tematyki wpływu globalnej pandemii na rozwój zainteresowania powyższymi zagadnieniami. Wnioski wskazują na znaczący wzrost liczby osób obserwujących kanały związane z pseudonauką.

Produktivitas merupakan hal yang paling penting dalam suatu perusahan manufacturing khususnya di line produksi. Faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat produktivitas di line produksi salah satunya adalah tata letak (lay out) mesin dan jarak antara mesin sehingga memudahkan pergerakan operator. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada perusahaan automotive dan bertujuan untuk menaikan produktivitas pada line produksi seal. Penelitian ini berfokus pada rendahnya produktivitas pada line produksi yang disebabkan karena kondisi tata letak (lay out) mesin yang cenderung sempit. Sehingga menyebabkan pemborosan waktu karena gangguan saat proses handling dan saat terjadi set up dan mold wash. Hal ini menyebabkan rendahnya produktivitas di bawah target optimal yang diinginkan perusahaan. Perbaikan produktivitas dilakukan dengan menggunakan konsep kaizen dan lean untuk memperbaiki lini produksi pada proses tersebut. Dengan mengaplikasikan konsep kaizen dan lean ditemukan kekurangan-kekurangan pada proses sebelum dilakukan perbaikan penyebab rendahnya produktivitas, setelah dilakukan perbaikan dengan mengaplikasikan konsep kaizen dan lean didapatkan hasil peningkatan produktivitas sebesar 25% dari produksi sebelumnya 506 pcs/man/hari, menjadi 635 pcs/man/hari. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa penggunaan konsep kaizen dan lean terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan produktivitas secara signifikan.

Het belang van taalkeuze voor het sociaal kapitaal in Nederland
Authors: Schmeets Hans , Cornips Leonie
Published: February 2024

This article focuses on how language choice and how the language (variety) spoken at home contributes to social capital in the Netherlands. Social capital is measured using 17 participation and trust indicators, based on a representative Dutch national survey on social cohesion and well-being among more than 7,500 people aged 15 years or older in 2019. Our study shows that if a dialect or the regional language Low Saxon is most often spoken at home, individuals’ trust level is lower, while participation is higher compared to the group that most often uses Dutch at home. Limburgish and Frisian are not related to trust and/or participation. Crucially, this study reveals that the social capital index overall is not related to language but the two parts of it: trust and participation.
