Mythopoetic Basis and Symbolic World of Images in the Novel Shiliin Bogd by the Mongolian Writer G. Mend-Ooyo
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Baldanmaksarova Elizaveta E.
Published: June 2024

The article examines the mythopoetic basis and the symbolic world of images in the historical novel Shiliyn Bogd (2015) by the Mongolian writer G. Mend-Ooyoo (1952). The mythopoetic and mytho-religious traditions of the Mongolian peoples, due to historical and cultural development, represent an established holistic worldview with a systemic picture of the world, with aesthetic and philosophical ideas about the profane and sacred, about the material and fabulous, rational and mystical, about the visible world and the other world, parallel invisible layer of being. The basis of the novel Mand-Ooyoo, as a complete work of art, is a mythopoetic pictorial dominant that expresses the author’s integral understanding of the essence of the surrounding reality. It is expressed in two interrelated and complementary aspects: epistemological and axiological. When analyzing the novel, it seems extremely important to focus on the second aspect because it is the system of artistic values and its role in creating the mythopoetic basis and the symbolic world of images that are dominant.
Dickens’ The Cricket on the Hearth: On Its Stylizations, Takeoffs, Adaptations
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Haltrin-Khalturina Elena V.
Published: June 2024

The article considers different imitative approaches to Charles Dickens’ novella “The Cricket on the Hearth” (1845). Our focus is on two groups of adaptations of Dickens’ work: (1) the “plot (non-stylistic) adaptations” and (2) imitations with elements of stylization. Adaptations appear as re-readings of the novella, which undergo literary simplification (cf. digest). Among such, we consider creative rehashings (including those for children) and scripts, which might be fleshed out with the help of theatrical and cinematic art. A separate group consists of stylistic imitations with occasional allusions to Dickensian narrative; however, they do not closely follow original storylines. The article pays attention to opinions expressed by Stanislavsky and Eisenstein regarding Cricket’s adjustment to the medium of theater and film. It also discusses some specifics of the Dickensian metaphor reflected in stylistic imitations and disregarded by non-stylistic adaptations.
From “Text-Book” to “Text-Life”: Racine in “Fils” (“Son / Threads”) by Serge Doubrovsky and “Titus Did not Love Berenice” by Nathalie Azoulai
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Altashina Veronika D.
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes Racine’s place in two French works: the autofiction “Son/ Threads” (“Fils”) (1977) by Serge Doubrovsky (1928–2017) and the novel “Titus did nоt love Berenice” (“Titus n’aimait pas Bérénice”) (2015) by Nathalie Azoulai (b. 1966). To study the role of Racine’s tragedies, we turn to the technique of mise en abyme, widely and variedly used by both authors. Recursion appears at the level of multiple quotations and homonymy (Azoulai’s novel characters are named after Racine’s “Berenice” characters). As a result, the micro-story (Racine) turns into a macro-story, reflecting the life problems of modern characters and helping them to understand themselves. That leads to autopoiesis — the ability to self-reproduce, to “self-construct.” Both characters change due to their deep immersion in reading: “Text- Book” becomes “Text-Life.” The analysis of specific features of Racine’s dramaturgy gives the reason why his tragedies are capable of having such a deep existential impact. Fictional immersion, according to J.-M. Schaeffer has a modeling function, offering a scenario of actions that can be productively used in real life.
Bulgarin’s “The Death of Lopatinsky” in Adaptations by Finnish Authors of the 19th Century
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Liustrov Mikhail Yu. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: June 2024

The article explores the Swedish translation and poetic adaptations of F. Bulgarin’s “war story” “The Death of Lopatinsky,” published in Finland at the turn of the 1830s and 1840s. The article documents and explains the differences between the Swedish translations and the original Russian work. It also notes the reaction of the Finnish readership to the Swedish texts. The response to the relatively accurate translation of Bulgarin’s story published in the newspaper “Wasa tidning” (January 1839) was an article in “Borgå tidning” (May 1839), containing a truthful, in contrast to the Russian version, description of the death of Lieutenant Lopatinsky in September 1808. The article discusses Janne Lundmark’s poem “The Death of Lopatinsky, and the Voices at the Tomb,” which was published in Helsingborg in 1843. This poem is a poetic reworking of Bulgarin’s text and includes references to several characters from Scandinavian mythology, with the Houris being the most prominent. The article suggests that Lundmark indicates the eastern origin of the hero of the poem in this way. The article also notes that Valkyries and Houris often form a pair of “maidens of Paradise” in Swedish literature from the first half of the 19th century. Lundmark probably takes this into account. Finally, the article mentions that Lundmark’s poem is one of several works by Swedish-speaking authors from the 17th–18th centuries that are dedicated to the death of a hero.
Implication of smart economy governance: A perspective of smart cities in an emerging country
Authors: Moolngearn Papon , Kraiwanit Tanpat
Published: June 2024

The smart economy integrates smart technologies across all aspects of life, driving digital economic growth, enhancing security, and fostering competitiveness (Kumar & Dahiya, 2017). In Thailand, the concept of smart cities has been embraced, holding the potential for improved urban living (Thinphanga & Friend, 2023). This research provides a framework to guide Thailand’s smart city development, aiming to enhance economic growth and residents’ quality of life. Employing qualitative methods, this study engaged eight key informants through purposive sampling to understand the dynamics of Thailand’s smart cities and economy. Utilizing content analysis and NVivo software, the research identified essential elements for the success of smart cities in Thailand. Critical is the development of digital infrastructure like high-speed Internet and cloud services for nationwide access. Additionally, adopting technologies such as Big Data Analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) is vital for improving services and enhancing life quality. Effective public-private partnerships (PPPs) and addressing digital gaps, skill shortages, cybersecurity threats, and regulatory challenges are also crucial. The study underscores the importance of digital education and skills for future readiness. Ultimately, Thailand’s shift towards smart cities could significantly improve economic and social outcomes, provided these strategic areas are addressed.
The impact of banking financial leverage on firm’s performance: The moderating role of artificial intelligence
Authors: Shaban Osama Samih , Al-Hawatmah Zaid
Published: June 2024

Exploring the intricate and multifaceted dynamics between financial leverage (LEV), artificial intelligence (AI), and firm performance, this research paper delves into the complex relationship highlighted in the existing literature. To enhance comprehension, the study seeks to investigate the moderating influence of AI on this relationship, aiming to provide insights into how businesses can strategically optimize the interplay of leverage and AI to attain optimal performance levels. The study community consisted of all 13 Jordanian commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) for the period from 2012 to 2021. The study sample consisted of 130 observations collected from the annual reports of the study sample. The method adopted in the study involved conducting a regression analysis to test the hypotheses and determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables. The main finding of the study was that there is a negative relationship between financial leverage and firm performance, as indicated by a negative coefficient for return on assets (ROA). Additionally, the study found that the use of AI has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between financial leverage and firm performance, as indicated by a positive coefficient for return on equity (ROE). The generalizability of the findings to other demographics or situations may be constrained by the study sample’s narrow focus, which may not necessarily be indicative of other types of businesses or industries.
The integrated impact of climate and vegetation variation on blue and green water: A case study of the Jialing River Basin, China

Published: June 2024

Climate change exacerbates the imbalance of water resources allocation
in the basin, and vegetation has an important impact on the regulation
of water resources. The analysis of regulation mechanism of climate and
vegetation changes on blue-green water resources could enhance water
resources management within watersheds. Therefore, this study assessed
the spatial and temporal characteristics of blue-green water resources
by employing the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in the Jialing
River Basin (JLRB), and explored the mechanisms of climate and
vegetation changes on blue and green water resources in the basin
thought correlation analysis and structural equation model. Draw
conclusions as follows: (1) the whole basin showed a warming and
humidifying trend from 1982 to 2020, under which the vegetation
generally was getting green. (2) The basin had less blue-green water in
the northwest and more in the southeast. There was a decreasing trend in
both blue and green water from 1982 to 2000, and an increasing trend
from 2000 to 2020. (3) The spatial distribution of blue-green water was
uneven, and the annual average blue and green water was 369.03mm and
566.46mm, respectively. (4) In the context of basin warming and
humidification, the change of blue-green water in the basin is mainly
affected by precipitation. The regulation of blue and green water by
vegetation greening could only weaken the impacts brought by climate
change. The results of the study provide a solid scientific basis for
water resource management in the basin.
An analytical root depth distribution
Authors: Harman Ciaran J. , Lapides Dana A.
Published: June 2024

Schenk (2008) proposed a model for the depth distribution of plant roots
based on a simple hydrological scheme and the assumptions that plants
will take up the shallowest water available first, and will distribute
their roots in proportion to uptake at each depth. Here, we derive an
analytical solution to the Schenk model under an idealized climate (in
which infiltration events are treated as a marked Poisson process),
explore properties of the result, and compare with data. The solution
suggests that in very humid and arid climates the soil wetting and
drying cycles induced by root water uptake are generally confined to a
characteristic depth below the surface. This depth depends on the
typical magnitude of rainfall events (most strongly so in arid
climates), the typical total transpiration demand between rainfall
events (most strongly in humid climates), and the plant-available water
holding capacity of the soil. Root water uptake (and thus predicted root
density) in very humid and arid landscapes decreases exponentially with
depth at a rate determined by this characteristic depth. However in a
mesic climate soils may be wet or dry to greater depths below the
near-surface, and the duration spent in each state increases with depth.
Consequently, root water uptake and root density in mesic climates more
closely resembles a power law distribution. When the aridity index is
exactly 1 the characteristic depth diverges and the mean rooting depth
approaches infinity. This suggests that the deepest rooting depths will
occur in mesic environments. We compared this model to another
analytical solution and a compiled database of root distributions (159
combined locations). For a larger comparison dataset, we also compared
99th percentile rooting depth to rooting depths modeled by two other
frameworks and a database of observed rooting depths (1271 combined
locations). Results demonstrate that the analytical formulation of the
Schenk model performs well as a shallow bound on rooting depths,
captures something of the non-exponential form of root distributions,
and its error is similar to or less than that of other modeling
frameworks. Errors may be partly explained by the deviation of real
climate from the idealizations used to obtain an analytical solution
(exponentially-distributed infiltration events and no seasonality).

Clinical trials in older patients with cancer – typical challenges, possible solutions, and a paradigm of study design in breast cancer
Authors: Karihtala Peeter , Schiza Aglaia , Fountzilas Elena , Geisler Jürgen , Meattini Icro , Risi Emanuela , Biganzoli Laura , Valchis Antonios
Published: June 2024

Background and purpose: While the prevalence of older breast cancer patients is rapidly increasing, these patients are greatly underrepresented in clinical trials. We discuss barriers to recruitment of older patients to clinical trials and propose solutions on how to mitigate these challenges and design optimal clinical trials through the paradigm of IMPORTANT trial.
Patients and methods: This is a narrative review of the current literature evaluating barriers to including older breast cancer patients in clinical trials and how mitigating strategies can be implemented in a pragmatic clinical trial.
Results: The recognized barriers can be roughly divided into trial design-related (e.g. the adoption of strict inclusion criteria, the lack of pre-specified age-specific analysis), patient-related (e.g. lack of knowledge, valuation of the quality-of-life instead of survival, transportation issues), or physician-related (e.g. concern for toxicity). Several strategies to mitigate barriers have been identified and should be considered when designing a clinical trial dedicated to older patients with cancer. The pragmatic, de-centralized IMPORTANT trial focusing on dose optimization of CDK4/6 -inhibitors in older breast cancer patients is a paradigm of a study design where different mitigating strategies have been adopted.
Interpretation: Because of the existing barriers, older adults in clinical trials are considerably healthier than the average older patients treated in clinical practice. Thus, the study results cannot be generalized to the older population seen in daily clinical practice. Broader inclusion/exclusion criteria, offering telehealth visits, and inclusion of patient-reported, instead of physician-reported outcomes may increase older patient participation in clinical trials.

Published: June 2024

Background and purpose: Knowledge concerning the use AI models for the classification of glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) and avascular necrosis (AVN) of the humeral head is lacking. We aimed to analyze how a deep learning (DL) model trained to identify and grade GHOA on plain radiographs performs. Our secondary aim was to train a DL model to identify and grade AVN on plain radiographs.Patients and methods: A modified ResNet-type network was trained on a dataset of radiographic shoulder examinations from a large tertiary hospital. A total of 7,139 radiographs were included. The dataset included various projections of the shoulder, and the network was trained using stochastic gradient descent. Performance evaluation metrics, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were used to assess the network’s performance for each outcome.Results: The network demonstrated AUC values ranging from 0.73 to 0.93 for GHOA classification and > 0.90 for all AVN classification classes. The network exhibited lower AUC for mild cases compared with definitive cases of GHOA. When none and mild grades were combined, the AUC increased, suggesting difficulties in distinguishing between these 2 grades.Conclusion: We found that a DL model can be trained to identify and grade GHOA on plain radiographs. Furthermore, we show that a DL model can identify and grade AVN on plain radiographs. The network performed well, particularly for definitive cases of GHOA and any level of AVN. However, challenges remain in distinguishing between none and mild GHOA grades.

exílio de crianças bascas no pós-Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936-1939)
Authors: Corner Dolores Martín Rodriguez
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo busca analisar o exílio de crianças bascas durante e no pós-Guerra Civil Espanhola, em especial, momentos em que milhares de crianças espanholas tiveram que partir em navios e trens a países estrangeiros como França, Rússia, Reino Unido, México e Bélgica, usurpadas de seus lares e afetos. Crianças, em sua maioria, órfãs, sem possibilidades de voz ou de ação, separadas de seus entes, muitas delas fugindo dos bombardeios aéreos que os alemães nazistas, aliados de Franco impuseram à cidade de Guernica, País Basco.  Hoje, muito se percebe imortalizado na pintura de Picasso com o quadro homônimo, tristes memórias dos sentimentos que experienciaram. Desses atos infames, a história foi sendo narrada e muitos aspectos silenciados pelo horror da época. Após finalizada a Guerra Civil, a maioria delas foi repatriada, sendo que, cerca de mil crianças desapareceram, algumas faleceram no estrangeiro, e outras não retornaram. Para acolhê-las o País Basco desde 1937 preparou Centros de Auxílio Social, as chamadas “Casa de los niños”. Assim, busca-se metodologicamente analisar as fontes primárias como narrativas dessas crianças, hoje adultas, como entrevistas de retornados ao país, suas memórias da viagem, as formas de educação recebida, com especial atenção às experiências de exílio, valendo-se da História oral. Os resultados almejam compreender aspectos ainda não tratados sobre o exílio de crianças, fato que ficou obscurecido na historiografia, pelo volume expressivo do êxodo dos adultos, fugindo da perseguição empreendida pelo governo e das questões de incorporar os sentimentos e emoções das crianças, a partir das memórias dolorosas dessas experiências.

O movimento dos Young Lords, formado no início dos anos sessenta, nos Estados Unidos, teve um papel-chave na tomada de consciência sobre o racismo ambiental que atingia os grupos mais vulneráveis da sociedade norte-americana. Com ações de combate à falta de coleta regular do lixo que se acumulava nas ruas e terrenos do bairro do Harlem, em especial no East Harlem onde se concentrava a comunidade porto-riquenha, os Young Lords chamaram a atenção dos meios de comunicação para o problema sanitário. A mobilização contra a crise sanitária mediante a ação denominada de “Ofensiva do Lixo”, refletia a tomada de consciência do racismo ambiental praticado pelo poder público contra os imigrantes porto-riquenhos na cidade de Nova York.
The Impact of Fire Regime on Fire Resistance of Load-Bearing Structures of Machine Rooms of a State District Power Plant (GRES)

Machine rooms of a state district power plant (GRES) are sizeable. Heat impact on the structures of the building in the case of a real fire can significantly differ from the impact in the case of a standard fire. Therefore, the calculation of fire resistance of building structures should be conducted not only in conditions of a standard fire but of a real fire as well. The objective of the study is the theoretical evaluation of the actual limits of fire resistance of load-bearing building structures of the machine room of the main building of the Nizhneturinskaya GRES in conditions of standard and real fire regimes. Numerical experiments to calculate the heating of load-bearing building structures in the case of a standard fire and the case of the most hazardous scenario of the real fire development have been conducted in the framework of the study. A field 3-dimensional model to calculate fire hazardous factors and a non-stationary thermal conductivity equation have been applied. The obtained results have been analyzed. The field model adapted to the space-planning solutions of the machine room has been described. The most hazardous scenario of the development of real fire in case of combustion of the turbine oil spill in the sector of the machine room with the lowest height of ceiling has been chosen. The temperature fields in the gaseous environment of the machine room at different moments are presented. It has been detected that the heating of reinforced concrete structures of the machine room ceiling is significantly uneven due to the 3-dimensional gas dynamic pattern of fire. Dependencies of temperatures of the frame of reinforced concrete load-bearing structures of the ceiling on the time of standard and real fires in the most heated section of the ceiling have been obtained. It has been determined that the maximum temperature of the frame in the case of the standard fire is lower than in the case of real fire. Due to the features of the 3-dimensional thermal gas dynamic pattern of fire in machine rooms of the GRES, the fire resistance of load-bearing building structures in these premises must be determined in both conditions of standard fire and real fire, considering the most hazardous scenario of its development.

The article considers the issue of the development of an algorithm for the assessment of the consequences of failure (CoF) of the process pipeline of the gas condensate stabilization system of a hazardous production facility. The assessment of the consequences of failure is one of the main components of a risk-oriented approach to the inspection of technical devices. In accordance with the API RP 581 3rd Edition methodology, the assessment is used for equipment ranking and designed to determine the priority of inspections. Inspection, in turn, is a tool to ensure integrity, i.e., the condition of equipment that ensures its leak-tightness, which undoubtedly is a necessary condition of industrial safety. The algorithm and the detailed procedure of calculation of failure consequences consisting of 13 basic stages have been provided. As an example, the calculation of failure consequences has been conducted by the API RP 581 3rd Edition methodology (Level 1). The basic stages and the results of calculation have been compared to the calculation methodologies of technical device failure consequences effective in Russia. The results of the comparative analysis of methodologies indicate their similarity as to the application of common methods of the analysis of accident scenarios, the use of similar initial data, and the focus on the reduction of equipment failure risk. At the same time, significant differences in indices and criteria of acceptable risk level have been detected. The results of the calculation indicated the conservatism of the API 581 3rd Edition methodology (Level 1). The application of calculation of failure consequences by the API RP 581 3rd Edition methodology (Level 1) in the field of risk-oriented approach to the inspection of technical devices is possible upon its adaptation to the standards generally accepted in Russia.

Published: June 2024

Non-ferrous metallurgy is one of the key industries of the Russian Federation. The attributed specifics and complexities can negatively affect employees' physiological and psychological condition, thus increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. The main specific features and complexities of non-ferrous metallurgy plants have been considered. Based on the statistical data for the last 5-year period, causes of fatalities at metallurgic plants have been detected, with a human factor as one of the primary causes. The condition of an employee of a metallurgic production is affected by many factors, i.e., stresses, physical overstrain, fatigue, personal problems, as well as his/her competencies such as knowledge, skills, qualifications, and personal qualities. It is critical to verify the level of competencies of employees via internal and external certifications that ensures admission to work at a hazardous production facility. The government of the Russian Federation has approved the categories of employees liable to obtain additional professional education and undergo the certification by committees of various levels once in 5 years. It cannot be stated, however, whether in such a case the established level of competencies (or their absence) of employees is reliable or not. The plants should motivate employees to work safely and conduct regular trainings for personnel in order to reduce the negative impact of the human factor. This can be also facilitated by the development and implementation of in-house measures considering the specifics of productions in the field of the safety audit. In the future, the modernization of the existing algorithm of generating questions, expanding the question bank during the certification of employees, and conducting online exams are possible, which can become one of the promising and efficient areas. The totality of options proposed will allow reducing the number of potential errors occurring due to the human factor, thus reducing the number of accidents and injuries at work.
Performance Evaluation of mm-Wave Based System in GFDM- 5G and Beyond Channel Model with Dust Storm Scenario
Authors: Hammed Zainab Sh. , Ameen Siddeeq Y.
Published: June 2024

Telecommunication has made tremendous improvements in terms of bandwidth, requiring good frequency location, high data rates, and wideband spectrum availability. One solution to these requirements is the millimeter wave frequency band of 30 GHz. However, communication in this band is facing new challenges due to climate effects such as humidity, dust storms, and temperature. For fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks and beyond, Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) has been proposed as a compelling candidate to substitute Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The GFDM's ability to adapt the block size and type of pulse shaping filters enables it to meet various crucial requirements, including low latency, low Out-Of-Band(OOB) radiation, and high data rates. This paper evaluated the overall GFDM performance and investigated the Bit Error Rate (BER) across a Rayleigh channel under various weather conditions. The simulation results show that GFDM outperforms the current OFDM candidate system. Also, GFDM offers better resistance to the Rayleigh channel with moderate and heavy dust storms in terms of BER.

Published: June 2024

Die Studie zum interaktiven Sprechen im lehrwerkbasierten Fremdsprachenunterricht der Grundschule ist in zweierlei Hinsicht innovativ: Einerseits werden die fremdsprachlichen Äußerungen junger Lernender mit Anfangsniveau erforscht, wozu erst wenige empirische Ergebnisse vorliegen. Andererseits liegt der Fokus auf dem dialogischen Sprechen unter den Lernenden, was auf die neokommunikative Ausrichtung des Lehrwerks zurückzuführen ist, mit dem die untersuchten Klassen Französisch lernen: Die Förderung der Kompetenz Sprechen ist hauptsächlich beim Bearbeiten von Aufgaben in Kleingruppen vorgesehen. Für die angewandte Wissenschaft liefert das Werk ein 5-Schritte-Programm zur Förderung des interaktiven Sprechens. Für die Grundlagenforschung wird ein empirisch basiertes Sprechmodell vorgelegt, das die bisherigen Modelle erweitert und die Lernsituation im Fremdsprachenunterricht berücksichtigt.

Mit Green Logistics ist ein neues Thema aufgekommen, das aus der aktuellen Diskussion nicht mehr wegzudenken ist. Dabei wird folgende Definition zur Green Logistics zugrunde gelegt: Green Logistics ist ein nachhaltiger und systematischer Prozess zur Erfassung und Reduzierung der Ressourcenverbräuche und Emissionen, die aus Transport- und Logistikprozessen in und zwischen Unternehmen resultieren. In dem folgenden Betrag wird zunächst am Beispiel des Nutzfahrzeugs aufgezeigt, welche Ansätze zur Kraftstoff- und damit CO2-Einsparung bestehen und wie wirtschaftlich und effizient die Ansätze sind. Darüber hinaus wird anhand einer aktuellen Umfrage der Frage nachgegangen, ob es sich bei dem Thema „Green Logistics“ um eine Modewelle handelt, die bald wieder an Bedeutung verliert, oder um einen langfristigen Trend.

Authors: Clausen Uwe , Eiband Agnes
Published: June 2024

Im Rahmen der Diskussionen um die Reduzierung des weltweiten CO2-Ausstoßes diskutieren die interessierte Öffentlichkeit und verladende Unternehmen, welche Transporte vom Straßenauf den Schienenverkehr zu verlagern sind. Wenn – wie bei der Mehrzahl der Verlader – kein eigener Gleisanschluss vorhanden ist, ermöglicht der Kombinierte Verkehr mit mehreren Transportmitteln die Nutzung des Verkehrsträgers „Schiene“. Allerdings ist noch weitgehend ungeklärt, wie hoch das tatsächliche Verlagerungspotenzial ist. Dass dieses Potenzial erheblich, verglichen mit dem aktuellen Kombinierten Verkehr, aber gesamtwirtschaftlich, etwa ausgedrückt in %-Anteil des Modal Split im Güterverkehr, zugleich doch überschaubar ist, erläutert die folgende Analyse.

Dass der Transport von Personen und vor allem Gütern umweltfreundlicher organisiert werden muss, ist unbestritten. Ebenso unbestritten ist, dass die Binnenschifffahrt der umweltfreundlichste Verkehrsträger ist.

Authors: Hüttmann Barbara , Lahrmann Mathias
Published: June 2024

Leercontainertransporte sind die „Achillesferse“ der Container- und Logistikwirtschaft. Gerade in Zeiten geringer Margen und starken Wettbewerbsdrucks kann eine gute Leercontainerlogistik „den Unterschied machen“ – sowohl für ein Unternehmen als auch für einen Hafenstandort. Aber wo besteht derzeit der größte Handlungsbedarf zur Optimierung der Leercontainerlogistik? Welche Akteursgruppen sind daran beteiligt und wer ist für die Leercontainerlogistik überhaupt verantwortlich? Und was sind vielversprechende Optimierungsansätze? Eine aktuelle Studie von BSL Transportation gibt Antworten und liefert eine Einschätzung aus Sicht aller relevanten beteiligten Marktteilnehmer.

Luftreinhaltung - aber wie?
Authors: Krajzewicz Daniel , Neumann Thorsten , Hausberger Stefan , Cyganski Rita
Published: June 2024

Die Einhaltung von Grenzwerten für Schadstofe ist ein zunehmend wichtiger Bestandteil des Verkehrsmanagements. Eine Auswertung bisheriger Ansätze zeigt jedoch, dass nicht alle Maßnahmen erfolgreich sind. Mikroskopische Verkehrslusssimulationen, die die Bewegung einzelner Fahrzeuge modellieren, erlauben eine feingranulare, nach verschiedenen Verkehrsträgern unterteilbare A-priori-Bewertung solcher Ansätze. Eine hierfür notwendige Grundlage ist die korrekte Abbildung des Emissionsverhaltens von Fahrzeugen. Zudem sind weitere Modelle erforderlich, die z.B. die Änderungen im Mobilitätsverhalten der Teilnehmer vorhersagen können. Im Nachfolgenden werden ein solches Gesamtsystem sowie die sich aus diesem Zusammenspiel ergebenden Möglichkeiten beschrieben.

Authors: Eck Florian
Published: June 2024

Die Bundesregierung hat in ihrer Hightech-Strategie 2020 das Ziel „CO2-neutrale, energieeffiziente und klimaangepasste Stadt“ ausgerufen. Bereits heute ist es absehbar: Bis 2030 werden 30 % aller Bundesbürger in Großstädten leben. Gleichzeitig sind die Menschen in den vergangenen Jahren immer mobiler geworden: Sie haben ihren Radius im Alltag erweitert, legen mehr Wege zurück und verwenden einen größeren Anteil ihrer täglichen Zeit darauf, unterwegs zu sein. Mit diesen Veränderungen muss die Verkehrspolitik, aber auch die Verkehrsbranche umgehen. Die intelligente Mobilität der Zukunft muss digital, sicher, vernetzt und individuell sein.
