Potential recycling of mine tailings for PMC’s Padcal Mine, Philippines
Authors: Ikopbo Idongesit , Boado Melissa May
Published: March 2024

Industrialized countries attempted to obtain minerals, resulting in a developed method to extract valuable minerals from the ground. Consequently, waste mine tailings are produced and, when left to pile up, will potentially be hazardous to the environment and the people. However, more mine tailings become a problem when the organization needs clarification on the minerals' value and what they can be used for. This study focuses on a multi-criteria analysis of the potential repurposing of the Philex Mining Corporation (PMC) tailings in Benguet, Philippines. While mining policies were considered, findings show that piles of mine tailings had not been considered for refining to produce more resources for development, construction, and economic growth The study employs qualitative inquiry to understand better the grassroots processes and reconnaissance of the stored tailings. The analysis tries to promote sustainable practices – presenting a higher sustainability priority, resource conservation, and the responsible management of mining waste, making it a more favorable alternative to traditional tailing storage facilities. Several industrial uses for the tailings have been suggested to reinforce waste diversion.

Polymorphic transformation from metastable β to stable α phase in MnTe flake
Authors: Mori Shunsuke , Sutou Yuji
Published: March 2024

Manganese telluride (MnTe) is an intriguing polymorphic semiconductor. Among them, the metastable β-MnTe phase, characterized by a wurtzite-type structure, has been successfully fabricated as a sputtered film on substrates. However, bulk or free-standing β-MnTe without substrates has never been realized. In this study, we fabricated a β-MnTe flake using a lift-off process. Notably, the X-ray diffraction patterns of the flake sample approached the predicted peak positions of bulk β-MnTe, indicating strain relaxation. This study represents a pioneering experimental success in demonstrating a bulk-like β-MnTe. Furthermore, we conducted thermal analyses associated with the β→α transformation through differential scanning calorimetry. The β-MnTe flake exhibited a lower transformation temperature than films, suggesting diminished thermal stability of the β phase. The enthalpy change was quantitatively determined as −45.1 kJ mol−1, which arises from the substantial volume change. These experimental demonstrations are expected to contribute to the application of free-standing β-MnTe in optoelectronic and piezoelectric fields.
Anomalous deformation behavior of Ag nanowires on Au electrode in low-temperature environments
Authors: Watanabe Yuichi , Kuribara Kazunori , Nomura Ken-ichi
Published: March 2024

We discovered that Ag nanowires (AgNWs) on an Au electrode exhibited an anomalous deformation behavior despite a low-temperature environment of 65 °C. Most AgNWs on the Au electrode were deformed after heating. In contrast, AgNWs on the Cr and Ag electrodes exhibited a few changes and maintained their initial shape. The deformation behavior of AgNWs on metal electrodes has not yet been reported and is currently difficult to explain using known processes such as diffusion and alloying. Nonetheless, they evidently depend on the electrode material. The findings of this study are crucial for the design of AgNW-based electronic devices.

Authors: Vilhena Luciana Girão de , Braga Francisco Laercio Pereira , Lima Filipe Augusto Xavier
Published: March 2024

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão do conteúdo sobre produtos orgânicos no contexto brasileiro entre 2010 e 2021, na perspectiva da análise lexical. No percurso metodológico, realizou-se o levantamento de trabalhos científicos nacionais, publicados nas plataformas Spell e Periódicos Capes, no período delimitado, o que possibilitou selecionar 43 artigos. Em seguida, analisou-se o conteúdo dos artigos selecionados em abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, por meio do software Iramuteq. Os resultados mostraram que o corpus textual foi subdividido em classes de 1 a 4. Por abordarem assuntos complementares, as classes 2 e 3 têm maior proximidade entre si, enquanto a 1 e a 4 aparecem de forma mais independente e isolada. Em geral, notam-se insights importantes que enfatizam a necessidade de incentivar a agricultura orgânica para reduzir a poluição, promover a sustentabilidade e atender às preocupações ambientais e de saúde dos consumidores. Os resultados levam a deduzir que trabalhos e discussões relacionados a produtos orgânicos – que englobam as temáticas desenvolvimento sustentável, políticas públicas e feiras verdes/agroecológicas, são ainda incipientes na agricultura familiar, o que indica a necessidade de pesquisas adicionais à literatura.
Pecuaristas familiares “inovativos”: reconhecendo facetas da pecuária na Campanha Gaúcha

Published: March 2024

O objetivo deste artigo foi caracterizar o perfil socioeconômico de pecuaristas familiares da Campanha Gaúcha inseridos em processos inovativos e analisar mudanças, nas rotinas das atividades, nas unidades de produção da pecuária familiar. Para isso, foi desenvolvido um estudo de casos múltiplos em Alegrete e Santana do Livramento, na Campanha Gaúcha. Como a pecuária familiar tem sido distanciada de processos inovativos e de mudanças, foi necessário, em um primeiro momento, aproximá-la e reconhecer os participantes da pesquisa como pecuaristas familiares. Parte do esforço possibilita, também, rever ou ampliar a compreensão sobre processos inovativos, os quais podem ser identificados nos relatos sobre as mudanças de rotinas, trajetórias e experiências dos participantes. Assim, reconhece-se uma faceta pouco discutida da pecuária familiar: os pecuaristas familiares inovativos. Abre-se, assim, espaço para novas discussões, que consideram as dinâmicas e os contextos de categorias sociais como pontos de partida para análise e compreensão de suas demandas.

Authors: Berrami Hind , Serhier Zineb , Othmani Mohammed Bennani
Published: March 2024

Objectives: Information and communication technologies have significantly improved the quality of healthcare information management and operations. Hospital information systems (HIS) have become popular and used by most healthcare facilities, both public and private hospitals and clinics. For the best implementation of the health information system, it is necessary to know the reasons leading to failure or success. Objectives is to determine the main reasons for success and failure through a systematic review to help underdeveloped countries like Morocco, which is starting to implement the HIS. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was adhered during the conduct of this systematic review. This systematic review was based on the PubMed database, the Google Scholar search engine Scopus, and science Direct over a considered period of 10 years from 2013 to June 2023. We have included articles dealing with either success factors or failure factors following the implementation of a hospital information system that were published between 2013 and 2023. Results: 28 studies were selected to highlight 8 factors likely to cause success, the most important of which were organizational and behavioral factors containing sub-factors, and 6 factors likely to cause HIS failure, the most important of which was the technical factor. Conclusion: These factors must be considered by the personnel in charge of implementing new information systems to increase the chances of success and to minimize the reasons that can lead to the failure of these systems.
XA-GANomaly: An Explainable Adaptive Semi-supervised Learning Method for Intrusion Detection using GANomaly in Global Economic dynamic shifts
Authors: Ray Samrat
Published: March 2024

Economic Intrusion detection is discovering unauthorized net-work activity and recognizing whether the data is an abnormal network transmission. Recent research has focused on semi-supervised learning mechanisms for identifying abnormal net-work traffic to deal with both labeled and unlabeled in industry. Economic shift generation is very crucial in creating a balance between hyper sensitive generation and superficial balance. However, real-time training and classifying network traffic remains as challenges, as they can lead to the degradation of the overall dataset and difficulties in preventing attacks. Addi-tionally, existing semi-supervised learning research may not comprehensively analyze the experimental results. To address these issues, we propose XA-GANomaly, a novel technique for explainable adaptive semi-supervised learning using GANoma-ly, an image anomalous detection model, that sequentially trains small subsets in a dynamic way. First, we introduce a Deep Neural Network (DNN) based GANomaly for semi-supervised learning. Second, we present our proposed adaptive algorithm for DNN-based GANomaly, validated with four sub-sets of the adaptive dataset. Finally, we demonstrate a monitor-ing system that incorporating three explainable techniques – SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), reconstruction error visualization, and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) – to respond effectively to attacks toward traffic data at each stage of feature engineering, semi-supervised learning, and adaptive learning. Compared to other single-class classifi-cation techniques, the proposed DNN-based GANomaly achieves higher scores than 13% and 8% of F1 scores and accuracy of 4.17% and 11.51% for the NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 datasets, respectively. In addition, our adaptive learning experiments show mostly improved results over initial values, and we provide an analysis and monitoring system based on the combination of the three explainable methodologies. As a result, our proposed method has the potential to be applied in the real industry, and future research will explore on handling unbalanced real-time datasets in various scenarios.The essence of such shifts in economic paradigm can be better understood by applying various triggers in functional machine to machine interaction.This can be better understood by creating a super-vised paradigm which better understands global economic shifts.

The use of an interactive whiteboard in solfeggio teaching
Authors: Begić Jasna Šulentić , Sakač-Botički Monika , Begić Amir
Published: March 2024

This paper explores the application of digital technology, that is, interactive whiteboards, in solfeggio lessons. Digital technology, such as computers and interactive whiteboards, is gradually becoming part of the classroom, both in general education and music schools. In addition to traditional teaching tools (blackboard, chalk/markers, piano, and printed textbooks), computer programs and web applications can be beneficial complements to solfeggio lessons. The music classroom for teaching solfeggio is a great place where interactive whiteboards can be integrated. However, to effectively implement any form of digital technology in solfeggio, the teacher must be competent, IT-literate, know basic musical terms in English, and be receptive to the modern possibilities offered by technology. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the possibility of using an interactive whiteboard in solfeggio teaching. Employing a descriptive methodology, the study entailed the application of the interactive whiteboard for certain classroom activities while covering topics in solfeggio such as intonation, music dictation, and theoretical musical concepts. The research revealed that the interactive whiteboard can primarily function as a conventional whiteboard without its multimedia capabilities, allowing the written content to be preserved. In addition, interactive whiteboards have numerous advantages when utilized for singing musical examples, writing musical dictations, and practicing theoretical musical content.
Computational Approach on Convective-Magneto Trihybrid Nanoflow with Space Dependent Energy Source/Sink: Drug Delivery
Authors: Vinothkumar B , Poornima T
Published: March 2024

Iron oxide, Silver, Aluminium oxide, these nanoparticles individually or combined help in drug delivery especially aluminium oxide nanofluid used in an anti-blood pressure drug called 'Telmisartan'. Alumina and silver particles are used in manufacturing nanocomposites which have more antimicrobial properties. This is the reason for the current study of ternary nanofluids natural convective flow and efficacy of energy transfer in a bi-directionally sheet. Currently, ternary nanofluids (Fe3O4, Ag, Al2O3) are being taken for analysis. Usual water (H2O) is the conventional base fluid. Two different combinations of ternary nanofluids are used to get the average heat transfer rate, mixture ratios (Fe3O4 + Ag) and (Fe3O4 + Ag + Al2O3) when subjected to a variety of physical influences, including thermal radiation, magnetic fields, heat production and absorption, and nanoparticle volume amount. It is possible to solve the developed set of equations numerical results using the Keller box (finite differences) method with the help of MATLAB programming. This method helps in solving higher order partial differential equation (PDEs) to ordinary differential equation (ODEs). The investigations findings demonstrated that the ternary hybrid nanofluids specific heat capacity is directly impacted by temperature. Numerical solutions for Nusselt number, velocity profile, skin friction coefficient, temperature profiles have represented with the help of graphs and tables. The ternary hybrid nanoflow (Fe3O4 + Ag +  Al2O3/H2O) transmits more energy for increasing volume fractions, comparing to the hybrid nanofluid (Fe3O4 + Ag/H2O). The study reveals the fact that metal oxides transfer more heat from the system than that of metals. The estimated error of heat transfer rate is higher in alumina nanoflow followed by silver and iron oxide nanofluid flows. The streamlines are equally spaced, but the energy flow amount is higher for the case M, S = 1 than M, S = 2. But in the case of stretching ratio parameter, the amount energy flow in α = 0.5 > α = 1.0. An equal amount of energy flow is observed for varied Biot number.

Authors: Herzog Ronny , Haaß Markus , Albrecht Ingo , Selzer Jan
Published: March 2024

In unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Lebensmittelindustrie – sowie in vielen anderen Branchen – werden Klebebänder zum ein- oder beidseitigen Verschließen von Verpackungen, meist Faltschachteln, genutzt. Oftmals befinden sich Arbeitsplätze bei der Aufgabe beziehungsweise Entnahme von Kartonagen oder im Umfeld von Verpackungsmaschinen. Die hierbei auftretenden Pegel liegen oberhalb des unteren Auslösewertes (Tages-Lärmexpositionspegel LEX,8h = 80 dB(A)) der Lärm- und Vibrations-Arbeitsschutzverordnung [1]. Ein Kooperationsprojekt des Instituts für Arbeitsschutz (IFA) der DGUV und der Berufsgenossenschaft Nahrungsmittel und Gastgewerbe (BGN) gingen der Frage nach, inwieweit Unterschiede bei der Schallemission von Klebebändern vorhanden sind und ob diese zur Lärmminderung in die betriebliche Praxis gespiegelt werden können. Dazu wurden 13 Klebebänder mit verschiedenen Spezifikationen im Laborumfeld und in situ im Arbeitsalltag verschiedener Unternehmen der Nahrungsmittelindustrie untersucht.

 

Summary Adhesive tapes are used in various areas of the food industry – and in many other sectors – to seal one or both sides of packaging, usually folding boxes. Workstations are often located where cardboard boxes are loaded or unloaded or in the vicinity of packaging machines. The levels occurring here are above the lower action value (daily noise exposure level LEX,8h = 80 dB(A)) of the Noise and Vibration Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance [1]. A cooperation project between the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA) and the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the food and catering industry (BGN) investigated the extent to which differences in the noise emissions of adhesive tapes are exist and whether these can be used in operational practice to reduce noise. For this purpose, 13 adhesive tapes with different specifications were analysed in the laboratory environment and with practical orientation in the day-to-day work of several companies in the food industry.

Determination of polymorphisms in the HSP90AA1 gene region in some Turkish sheep populations by AS-PCR
Authors: Demir Eymen
Published: March 2024

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones protecting living cells from the negative effects of extreme ambient temperatures. In this study, genetic polymorphisms of the HSP90AA1 gene were monitored via Allele-Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (AS-PCR) in three native Turkish sheep populations namely İvesi (IVS), Güney Karaman (GKR), and Karakaş (KRK). The HSP90AA1 was polymorphic in all populations yielding two alleles (C and G) and three genotypes (CC, CG, and GG). The G allele frequency was higher than the C allele frequency in all populations. The lowest (0.100) and highest (0.246) CC frequency was observed in KRK and IVS, respectively, while the GG genotype frequency varied between 0.250 (GKR) and 0.600 (KRK). Significant deviation (p<0.001) from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) was detected in the IVS breed in terms of the HSP90AA1 gene. The genetic distance-based phylogenetic tree indicated that GKR was genetically different from IVS and KRK populations in terms of the HSP90AA1 polymorphism. These variations regarding the HSP90AA1 gene should be conserved, since the negative effects of global warming and climate change are expected to be more hazardous in the future. Besides, these genetic variations may be utilized by the farmers to design comprehensive selection strategies against heat stress in native Turkish sheep populations.

Published: March 2024

Peppers are significant crops frequently used in cooking or as spice. Numerous phytochemicals, including capsaicinoids, phenolics, and carotenoids are found in peppers. Capsaicinoids are responsible for the distinctively pungent flavor. A comparative study of the proximate, mineral, fatty acid composition, and phytochemical components of 15 types of pepper spices (1 Isot Pepper Flake, 4 Chili Powders, and 10 Chili Pepper Flakes) were investigated. Analysis of the proximate composition included moisture content (6.54-19.49%), ash content (6.53-22.48%) and acid insoluble ash content (0.41-1.12%). Total phenolic content ranged from 9.72 to 20.05 mg GAE g-1. The lowest and highest capsaicinoid content were found in S15 (10247.6 Scoville Heat Unit (SHU)) and S9 (38861.7 SHU) samples, respectively. Total carotenoid content ranged from 739.8–1941.7 mg kg-1. Phytochemical analyses revealed that these spices are high in phytonutrients such as carotenoid and capsaicinoid.

Authors: Aygün Yusuf Ziya , Arslan Aysel , Mert Mehmet
Published: March 2024

The research aimed to investigate the yield and quality parameters of three flax varieties (Linum usitatissimum L.) at four different harvesting stages in Amik Plain in the 2021 growing seasons. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in split plot arrangement with three replications. Seed yield and quality parameters were determined after the maturation of seeds at the final harvesting. Harvesting stages (beginning of flowering, capsule formation, green-yellow ripening, and full ripening stages) significantly affected plant height, technical stem length, stem ratio, moisture, and plant fresh weight. Among the cultivars, significant differences were observed in terms of technical stem length, fiber ratio, stem ratio, 1000 seed weight and seed yield. Interaction effects were determined in terms of plant height and moisture ratio. While the cv. Noreum had greater fiber ratio (19.45%), stem ratio (50.97%) and seed yield (241.33 kg da-1), the cv. Karakız had the highest 1000 seed weight (7.99 g). The cv. Beyaz Gelin had the highest technical stem length (67.39 cm). In terms of technical stem length, fiber ratio, and stem ratio parameters, the cv. Beyaz Gelin and the cv. Noreum were in the same statistical group. The fact that harvesting stages do not affect the fiber ratio has led to the conclusion that planting for both purposes may be appropriate in the region.

Published: March 2024

Les marques sont désormais reconnues comme le capital des entreprises. Bien qu’intangibles, elles sont un levier essentiel de croissance et de valeur ajoutée. Néanmoins, cette reconnaissance ne saurait rester purement formelle : elle a de profondes implications pour le management. Le présent article les détaille une par une : gestion du portefeuille de marques, des nouveaux produits, de l’organisation marketing, traitement de la récession et attitude à tenir face aux marques de distributeurs .

Published: March 2024

L’évolution de l’organisation de la vente et du métier de vendeur s’accélère aujourd’hui sous la pression de nouveaux enjeux environnementaux. Une précédente recherche publiée dans Décisions Marketing (1) avait proposé un cadre intégrateur d’analyse des changements structurels qui allaient se produire, – ou devraient être mis en place –, au sein des organisations. Le débat présenté ici poursuit cette réflexion. Des personnalités qui créent et vivent cette mutation au quotidien nous font partager leur vision dynamique de la réalité .
Réussir en Asie du Sud-Est en maîtrisant la compensation
Authors: Darpy Denis , Cresson Jacques
Published: March 2024

Les nouveaux offsets non-régulés représentent la dernière évolution de la compensation. Une théorie de l’évolution des formes de compensation en fonction de la maturité économique du pays acheteur est proposée. L’impact sur l’entreprise exportatrice en est déduite. Trois études de cas illustrent ensuite la gestion des nouveaux offsets, c’est-à-dire les offsets non-régulés mais imposés par la concurrence (investissements, transferts de technologie et BOT) pour assurer le succès de l’implantation internationale.
Servuction, modes opératoires, coopération et technologies
Authors: Munos Annie
Published: March 2024

Dans le domaine de la coopération des entreprises de services, les spécificités liées au concept de service et la place que joue le client dans son processus de fabrication obligent ces entreprises à prendre en considération d’autres critères de choix que la simple complémentarité de leurs activités. Les facteurs qui caractérisent les niveaux et formes d’implication du client dans le processus de fabrication de service vont devenir un axe prioritaire dans le choix des différents partenaires. Si on observe une part croissante des technologies en front office les entreprises de services ont des degrés de prégnance technologique différents. Ainsi, l’offre globale de services multi prestataires pose la problématique identitaire de l’entreprise de services de demain dans le cadre du concept de la méta entreprise.

Modélisation participative sur le Web : un modèle de rétention des clients
Authors: Calciu Michel , Salerno Francis
Published: March 2024

La forme de la relation utilisateur-constructeur joue considérablement sur la pertinence, la qualité d’un modèle marketing et, par conséquent, sur les chances qu’il a d’être utilisé. Le Web constitue une réelle opportunité de co-modélisation à tous les stades du processus de développement de nouveaux modèles ou d’amélioration des modèles existants. Un modèle de satisfaction-rétention avec double segmentation de la base clients et prise en compte des « switching - costs » est lancé dans ce but sur le Web.
Internet, facteur positif et négatif pour la stratégie marketing : le cas Beanie Babies
Authors: Lehu Jean-Marc
Published: March 2024

Le cas Beanie Babies est l’illustration du formidable succès marketing d’un jouet en peluche, fondé sur un effet de mode. Il est également révélateur de la nature du puissant facteur que représente potentiellement Internet pour la stratégie marketing, via une nouvelle forme digitale de bouche à oreille. Mais il permet surtout de souligner qu’Internet est à la fois un facteur positif et négatif, qui devrait inciter le responsable marketing à intégrer de nouvelles variables dans la stratégie marketing afin d’en conserver au maximum le contrôle.
L’attente d’un service, quelles recommandations ?
Authors: Durrande-Moreau Agnès
Published: March 2024

Pour répondre au problème de l’attente dans les activités de service, il est souvent conseillé aux entreprises de chercher à mieux occuper et à mieux informer le client. Mais la mise en œuvre de ces recommandations ne donne pas les résultats escomptés. L’auteur propose alors de considérer l’attente comme un acte plutôt que simplement comme un temps vide. Cet acte est vécu par une personne qui interprète les situations et anticipe leur déroulement. Il en découle des recommandations qui sont commentées.
Les bandeaux publicitaires sur Internet : mesures d’efficacité
Authors: Onnein-Bonnefoy Carole
Published: March 2024

Cet article se propose de reconsidérer la question de la définition et de la mesure de l’efficacité des bandeaux publicitaires sur Internet, à notre avis trop réduite. Il s’articule autour de trois parties : la définition des objectifs des bandeaux publicitaires (essentiellement un objectif comportemental), la présentation des outils de mesure de l’audience publicitaire (le PAP) et de l’efficacité publicitaire (le taux de clics) et enfin la proposition d’une définition plus large de l’efficacité des bandeaux publicitaires. En effet, le taux de clics ne nous semble pas refléter à lui seul l’impact des bandeaux et nous pensons qu’il est indispensable de prendre en compte l’ensemble des réactions affectives et cognitives suscitées par les bandeaux.

Authors: Neslin Scott A. , Schneider Stone Linda G.
Published: March 2024

Dans les semaines qui suivent une promotion, on n’observe que rarement une baisse des ventes. Les auteurs résument et critiquent huit explications possible de ce phénomène surprenant. Certaines explications sont fondées sur le rythme d’achat des consommateurs, d’autres sur le comportement des concurrents et des distributeurs, d’autres enfin sur les effets positifs engendrés par les activités promotionnelles. Les auteurs en tirent des implications pour la gestion des promotions, et pour la recherche .

Gestion de l’extension de marque et de son impact sur la marque-mère
Authors: Michel Géraldine
Published: March 2024

La stratégie d’extension de marque est une pratique de plus en plus courante et, dans une optique à long terme, les entreprises cherchent à prévoir les retombées de l’extension sur la marque-mère. Afin d’améliorer leur capacité à évaluer les risques de l’extension pour la marque, cet article analyse en profondeur la problématique de l’extension de marque. L’analyse des entretiens réalisés auprès de treize professionnels permet tout d’abord de souligner les intérêts stratégiques de cette pratique. Elle met, ensuite, en avant la notion de valeurs centrales et aboutit alors à une nouvelle conception de la structure interne de la marque organisée autour d’un noyau central et d’un système périphérique. Enfin, cette étude met en évidence les variables susceptibles d’influencer l’impact de l’extension de marque sur la marque-mère.
