Authors: Liu Yixin , Li Zechen , Wan Fanzelin
Published: February 2023

For the last hundreds of years, fossil fuel and internal combustion engine has promoted the quality of people’s lives greatly. However, fossil fuel also causes many problems. Oil is being running out and burning fossil fuel emits too much greenhouse gases. So, finding other energy sources to get rid of fossil fuel is important. Electricity is a kind of clean energy and transportation is one of the main consumers of fossil fuel. Therefore, transportation electrification will be a great method to deal with the trouble caused by burning fossil fuel. This paper summarizes the advantages and limitations of transportation electrification by analysing the electrical machinery and drawbacks of batteries concisely. Electric vehicles (EVs) have many benefits: electric machinery with good properties makes EVs more powerful and faster; using electricity could not only reduce emission of greenhouse gases, but also save customers’ money. But the batteries have more safety issues than internal combustion engine, like easily catching fire or exploding after being crushed. Batteries also have bad performance in extreme situation, which affects the range of EVs. And lack of charging stations reinforces the ‘range anxiety’. This paper puts forward some ideas to improve the EVs and expects that EVs have great potential to replace the internal combustion engine cars (ICE cars) in the future.

Authors: Li Yunsong
Published: February 2023

In recent years, silicon nanowires have become a hot spot in the new material industry. As a kind of nanomaterial, silicon nanowires have excellent physical and chemical properties. However, the preparation method of silicon nanowires is not mature enough, which limits its further application. This paper mainly analyses the mechanism, advantages and disadvantages of several mainstream silicon nanowires preparation methods, and discusses the application of silicon nanowires and the future development direction. The results show that the chemical vapor deposition method can be used for large-scale preparation of silicon nanowires, while the laser ablation method can produce silicon nanowires with higher purity, and the electron beam lithography method has the advantages of high flexibility. However, the efficiency of these three methods is not high, and the cost is high, which is also the problem that the silicon nanowire preparation industry is looking forward to solve. Relying on the excellent conductivity, thermal conductivity and other characteristics of silicon nanowires, silicon nanowires can be applied to a variety of new energy industries. Based on the properties of silicon nanowires, this paper analyses the application of silicon nanowires in lithium batteries, solar cells, biosensors and thermoelectric materials in recent years, and forecasts its development trend, so as to provide a certain reference for researchers to further explore the research of silicon nanowires.
Comparison of Electric Vehicles and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles
Authors: Shao Pengyuan , Zheng Hengxin
Published: February 2023

In recent years, as carbon emissions continue to rise and the extent of global warming becomes wider, new energy vehicles have gradually grown into people’s attention. Electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with zero tailpipe emission become the solution. This paper describes the structural features and safety design of both HFCVs and EVs, and compares the carbon emissions, charging infrastructure, energy efficiency, and safety differences between them. The results show that EVs and HFCVs are better than traditional vehicles in terms of carbon emissions and safety, and EVs have more obvious emission reductions. EVs are developing faster than hydrogen energy vehicles in terms of charging infrastructure. HFCV’s efficiency is lower than that of EV. Regarding safety, both of them are better than traditional vehicles, but EVs are more likely to heat up and catch fire due to battery structure problems. Based on the current research, this paper believes that the EV technology and supporting facilities are more complete, the cost is lower, and the carbon emission reduction is more effective. After the reform of energy grid composition in the future and more investment into new energy vehicles development, EVs’ future is promising. This paper also hopes that a better way of hydrogen energy production is invented in the future, so as to accelerate the development of hydrogen energy vehicles.

Authors: Jia Cunnan , Gong Zhuangwen
Published: February 2023

Ancient glass is an important carrier of the development of Chinese civilization. Affected by the buried environment of cultural relics, ancient glass is very easy to weather. A large number of internal elements of glass exchange with environmental elements, resulting in changes in its composition and appearance, thus affecting the judgment of its correct classification. In this paper, a comprehensive evaluation model was established to analyze the chemical composition of glass. First of all, the chi-square test is used to determine the factors related to surface weathering. Then the chemical composition of different glass was analyzed by mathematical statistics, and the number of clustering categories was determined by the method of system clustering, combined with the determination of square Euclidean distance and elbow rule. Finally, the final classification result is obtained by judging the size of the grey correlation degree of the type classification law and the sub-classification division method obtained in the model. The results show that the comprehensive model can be used to analyze and identify the composition of glass products.
Study on the composition of glass artifacts based on PSO particle swarm neural network
Authors: Yang Chenglong
Published: February 2023

The analysis of the composition of glass artifacts has always been the focus of research in related fields. By analyzing and identifying the different compositions of glass artifacts from different eras and fields can support the understanding of the history of glass artifacts, their achievements and thus their exit from human civilization. In this paper, we use multiple correlation analysis, kernel principal component analysis, BP neural network model optimized by PSO particle swarm algorithm to study the composition of ancient glass artifacts.To address the shortcomings of the conventional BP neural network model, this paper adopts the BP neural network model under the optimization of PSO particle swarm algorithm to identify and study the unknown artifact types. And different subjective assignments are made to glass artifacts with different weathering degrees to discover the level of model sensitivity.Then the S-W normal distribution test was used and it was found that most of the chemical components did not obey normal distribution. Therefore, nuclear principal component analysis was chosen to find out the correlation between different types of components. On the basis of the identified two correlation coefficients and the paired data were normally distributed, by paired sample t-test, it was found that the magnitude of the differences between the chemical components of different categories was large. This was supplemented by correlation analysis and kernel principal component analysis. Finally, the composition identification study of glass artifacts was realized, which provided a new methodological path for the composition study of glass artifacts.

Authors: Wang Yiran , Lu Zhuer , Xie Yishan
Published: February 2023

C4 olefins are widely used to produce various chemical products and pharmaceuticals. Besides, Ethanol is a good raw material for the production of C4 olefins instead of petroleum cracking and ethylene cracking. First, the optimal choice of catalyst combination and temperature for C4 olefins preparation has been studied, and the process conditions forC4 olefins preparation by catalytic coupling of Ethanol are of great significance and value for promoting industrial production. Besides, a simple scoring method is also proposed to evaluate the differences in the catalytic effects of different experimental groups. We first analyzed the correlation with the R language and found that the temperature was positively correlated with the C4 olefin selectivity and ethanol conversion rate. Then, we fitted 21 curves sets of ethanol conversion rate and C4 olefin selectivity with temperature. Second, R language is used to perform correlation analysis to screen out variables that are significantly related to ethanol conversion and C4 olefin selectivity, then obtain a stepwise regression equation to quantitatively describe the effects of different catalyst combinations and temperatures on ethanol conversion and C4 olefin selectivity. Thirdly, we used the stepwise regression method to obtain the optimal local solution at each temperature, and the optimal combination of temperature and catalyst was 0.5wt% Co loading at 400℃, 200mgCo/SiO2-200mgHAP, ethanol concentration is 0.3ml/min. If the temperature is required to be controlled below 350 degrees, the optimal combination of temperature and catalyst is 2.145wt% of Co loading, 200mgCo/SiO2-200mgHAP, and ethanol concentration of 2.1ml/min at 350℃.

Published: February 2023

In this paper, the influence of temperature drop rate at an early age on the thermal cracking risk of concrete was investigated by using concrete thermal cracking test. The temperature drop rates of 1℃/day and 0.5℃/day were set. The test results showed that under the condition of the same temperature drop, the temperature drop rate of 1℃/day can effectively reduce the tensile stress caused by temperature drop, and the cracking temperature can be reduced by more than 8%. The test results verify that the concrete should be cooled to the target temperature as soon as possible provided that the tensile stress is less than tensile strength. This test can effectively optimize the temperature control standard of dam concrete quantitatively and improve the safety of dam construction period.
Application of Natural Law Doctrine in Constitutional Court Decision No. 20/2564
Authors: Ovattananakhun Pudit
Published: February 2023

In late 2021, the Constitutional Court of Thailand issued a decision concerning the constitutionality of Section 1448 of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code. Due to the decision, same-sex marriage remains unregulated. The Court implemented natural-law doctrines as their reasons. Natural-law theories are the primary opponents of same-sex marriage within the jurisprudential debate. This paper explores the natural-law doctrines used and presents an analysis of this constitutional decision by way of legal philosophy. Hume’s Law is helpful in discerning natural-law theories. The citation of Cicero’s “true law" proves to help analyse other doctrines and comment on some of the contradictions from the natural-law applications. One contradiction is the citation of Cicero’s text itself, another, from the simultaneous reference of nature and tradition. Another apparent reference of natural-law doctrines the Court used is the preservation argument. Upon the subjects of marriage, natural law, and procreation, it is worthy of exploring some of John Finnis’s natural-law theory and its similarity with this decision’s rationales. This constitutional decision is significant from the philosophical perspective and an excellent opportunity to explore the role of the legal philosophy of the ancient Greek to the contemporary period in Thai jurisprudence.
Selected Thai Constitutional Court Cases 2019–2022
Authors: Wilartratsami Supakorn
Published: February 2023

The Thai Constitutional Court is undeniably influential on Thai constitutional law and the Court’s jurisprudence has certainly raised debates. This fact is excellently demonstrated by other entries of this journal issue. Indeed, the cases in the Constitutional Court's docket between 2019 to 2022 have continued to influence the public discourse.
The year 2019 was when Thailand transitioned back to democracy (at least formally), with the election seeing General Prayuth Chan-o-cha remain as the Prime Minister, albeit now in a legitimately democratic form. As an aftermath of this election, many cases concerning qualifications for political positions arrived at the Constitutional Court's doorsteps. Apart from that, the three years after 2019 also saw the Court rendering significant decisions in terms of civil rights, while political actions (or mistakes) made by previous governments were adjudicated upon as well.
In this compilation, 11 Constitutional Court cases, not discussed by other entries in this journal, have been chosen based on the author's perception of their significance and interestingness. Hopefully, these cases may be able to provide a glimpse of the Constitutional Court's influence on Thai society during these three eventful years.

Published: February 2023

Studies have concentrated on numerous strategies and measures to curb the crime rate. Out of these, interventions via education are most promising as teaching children has a multiplier effect on crime reduction. Empirically there is a debate on the effect of education on the incidence of crime, and it is reasoned that education with opportunities, relevance, and ethics plays a decisive role in reducing crime. This study has used more comprehensive indicators and a robust distribution-free approach to estimate the effect of education on the crime rate. The contour plot of Quantile on Quantile regression helps assess each level of education quality on each level of the business cost of crime. This model does not require the assumption of normality and linearity of variables. This study points out that primary and science education reduces crime rates at low levels, while management studies and research help reduce crime at high levels. This study provides a robust assessment of how education may influence the cost of crime at their different corresponding levels. These estimates can help determine how the marginal effects will affect and change in response to the change in the cost of crime. This study is an instrument in for assessing the role of education on crime at each quantile data position.

Authors: Wassan Rashid , Bhatti Zahid Ali , Ahmed Shayan , Oad Sarjeet Singh , Detho Shahzad Hussain
Published: February 2023

In recent years, the Pakistani crime rate appears to have risen considerably. In the meantime, police forces in Pakistan are incapable of successfully combating crime, upholding the law, ensuring the protection of the populace, and combating the spread of militancy. Due to the severity of the deteriorating law and order situation, the government is compelled to invest excess revenue in crime-fighting groups. Thus, there is an urgent need to deploy a new crime-control strategy known as community policing, which on the one hand, minimizes these growing crimes, increases employment prospects, and on the other hand, strengthens the community's relationship with the police. This study also investigates the efficacy of community policing in reducing crime in various countries. In addition, the necessity and challenges of building a community policing system in Pakistan are discussed. In addition, the study highlighted the obstacles to implementing community policing in Pakistan, such as police corruption and misuse of power, the presence of mistrust between the community and police, a severe lack of facilities and infrastructure, and insufficient police department transparency and openness. Community policing is the most effective strategy for controlling crime and fostering healthy connections between the community and the police in Pakistan, according to the overall findings of the study.

Published: February 2023

Geographical Indications (GI) are signs or tags that are used on agricultural, manufactured and natural goods in order to distinguish and protect them. The protection of such GI’s gives owners and cultivators due recognition in the world, and the buyers become aware of the original product belonging to a specific area. Pakistan enacted its GI law in 2020, and despite great potential, there have still been a very minute number of GI registrations. Pakistan is a diverse country rich in culture, values, and identities. There are numerous potential Geographical indications that have not been registered in the country due to various impediments in the processes of its registration. In order to register Geographical Indications in Pakistan, there are several barriers that must be overcome, including lack of knowledge, lack of technology, lack of a connection between IP tribunals and the business community, a dearth of subject-matter specialists, etc. Pakistani gemstones, fruits, delicacies, footwear, sports products, cutlery, sweets, traditional outfits and headgear are thought to be registered as strong GI's in the nation. These potential Geographical Indications, if registered, could earn a great amount of money for the national exchequer and improve the dilapidated financial condition of the country.
