Fuelling A Clean Future: A Systematic Review of Techno-Economic and Life Cycle Assessments in E-Fuel Development
Authors: Uddin M.N. , Wang Feng
Published: July 2024

The transition towards sustainable energy sources has ushered in the era of electrofuels or synthetic fuels (e-fuels), which are produced/synthesised with electricity from renewable sources, water, and CO2, and are a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. This paper presents a systematic review of the techno-economic (TEA) and life cycle assessments (LCA) pertaining to e-fuel production. We critically evaluate the advancements in production technologies, economic feasibility, environmental implications, and potential societal impacts. Our findings indicate that while e-fuels offer a promising solution to reduce carbon emissions, their economic viability remains contingent on the optimization of production processes and the cost of input materials. The LCA underlines the importance of sourcing renewable energy for hydrogen production to ensure genuine sustainability of e-fuels. The review further identifies knowledge gaps, recommending areas for future research and policy intervention for e-fuels. As the world steers towards a greener future, understanding the holistic implications of e-fuels becomes paramount, and this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview to guide stakeholders in their decision-making processes.

Published: July 2024

The formation and mechanistic aspects of hierarchically micro-structured metallo-organic architectures are detailed in this study. These fascinating structures have a rod-like core with two fantails to give it a unique sheaf-like appearance. The rod-like cores develop into the sheafs via a crystal splitting growth mechanism. The tips of these growing rods evolve into fantails from basal faces; the addition of material to their shell results in sheaf-like superstructures. We succeeded to observe the formation of hedrites, sheafs, and spherulites. This phenomenon has been observed for zeolites and biominerals but is rare for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The here presented MOFs are based on pyridine–nickel d8 coordination chemistry. Electron diffraction analyses indicate that the metallo-organic sheafs are polycrystalline structures consisting of single-crystalline nanorods deviating gradually from each other in their orientation. The crystallographic structure formed from achiral components consists of helical channels with opposite handedness. The chemical accessibility of the nanochannels and the porosity of the superstructures are demonstrated by the diffusion of a chromophore (sodium resorufin) into the channels. The confinement and alignment of the chromophores inside the channels resulted in polarized-light dependent coloration of the crystals; the polycrystallinity generated areas having different optical properties. The morphology and size of the crystals strongly depends on the concentration, molar ratio of starting materials, and the nature of the counter anions of the nickel salts (Cl–, Br–, I-, NO3–, and OAc–).
مكانة إقليم كوردستان-العراق في إستراتيجية الولايات المتحدة الامريكية: العراق كدراسة حالة (2003-2021)
Authors: سلطان سعود , علي عمران
Published: July 2024

تسعى هذه الدراسة إلى بيان وتحليل مكانة إقليم كوردستان – العراق في إستراتيجية الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية في الشرق الأوسط بشكل عام، والعراق بشكل خاص في الفترة ما بين 2003 و2021.  وللقيام بذلك، تجري الدراسة تحليلاً للأهداف الاستراتيجية للولايات المتحدة تجاه العراق منذ 2003، وبالأخص فيما يتعلق بنشر الديمقراطية وتحويل العراق من دولة دكتاتورية الى دولة ديمقراطية، وكذلك فيما يتعلق بالحرب على الارهاب والقضاء عليه في العراق، خاصة منذ ظهور تنظيم الدولة الاسلامية في العراق في 2014.  وتسعى الدراسة بالأخص للبحث الى أي مدى يحتل إقليم كوردستان – العراق مكانة ثابتة في الاستراتيجية الأمريكية، ومدى دورها في تحقيق اهدافها الاستراتيجية في العراق. تناقش هذه الدراسة بأن اقليم كوردستان – العراق منذ 2003 لعب دورا اساسيا في تحقيق الاهداف الاستراتيجية الأمريكية في العراق، سواء فيما يتعلق بالقضاء على النظام الدكتاتوري وهدفها في نشر الديمقراطية، أو فيما يتعلق بحربها على الارهاب والقضاء عليه خاصة تنظيم الدولة الاسلامية.  من خلال البحث عن الاهداف الاستراتيجية الامريكية في العراق ودور إقليم كوردستان في تحقيق تلك الاهداف، تستنتج هذه الدراسة أنه بالرغم من كون الأقليم ليس فاعلاً من غير الدول إلا أنه احتل مكانة متميزة في استراتيجية الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية تجاه العراق، ناهيك عن دور الاقليم كفاعل مهم في تحقيق الاهداف الاستراتيجية الامريكية المتمثلة بنشر الديمقراطية ومحاربة الإرهاب. ولكن بالرغم من ذلك، لا نستطيع الجزم أنّ هذه المكانة ثابتة ومستمرة، حيث الظروف السياسية والامنية الداخلية والاقليمية ساهمت بشكل كبير بجعل إقليم كوردستان -العراق يحتل هذه المكانة المتميزة. بالإضافة الى أن استمرارية هذه المكانة مرهونة بالمصالح الاستراتيجية للولايات المتحدة الأمريكية في العراق بشكل خاص وفي المنطقة بشكل عام.
The representation of unconventional physician in alexander pope's memories of martinus scriblerus
Authors: Ibrahim Ali , Saeed Ismael
Published: July 2024

This paper examines Alexander Pope's Memoirs of The Extraordinary Life, Works, and Discoveries of Martinus Scriblerus (1741) with a central focus on portraying the main character as an unconventional physician. Alexander Pope recognizes the existence of two distinctive consciousness; he aims to awaken society from what is perceived as false consciousness through the main character’s different consciousness. The author presents the main character as an unconventional physician who explores the traces of the imposed social and cultural norms behind the physical and mental illnesses that are inflicted on the population in the fictional society in the story. The physician attempts to cure these diseases by rectifying the impact of societal norms on the individual, considering them the leading causes that hinder an individual’s true authenticity. The article attempts to employ a Marxist criticism approach, specifically relying on the Surplus Value theory, to investigate the source of false consciousness that inflicted the society. Moreover, the theory serves to underscore the economic dimension of false consciousness, emphasizing that the distortion of true identity is not merely a cultural or ideological phenomenon but is deeply intertwined with the economic relations within society. By embracing the dominant values and failing to recognize their role as the primary producers of surplus value that perpetuates a system that inherently disadvantages them, Pope aims to awaken the population. The article concludes that the main character, advocating for individual liberation from false consciousness, supports the idea that two distinctive types of consciousness exist. Also, it concludes that the main character, as a holder of class consciousness, emerges as a symbolic dissenter and, through his treatments, rejects the dominant culture, perceiving it to be the reason that hinders the individual’s self-realization and authenticity. Also, it concludes that the main character is involved in a conflict with the broader society, leading him to be isolated and feel a lack of belonging due to his different consciousness.

Lagrangian Chaotic Mixing in a Nonlinear Model of Resistive Drift-wave Turbulence in Tokamak Plasmas
Authors: Piragibe Freire Ana Luiza , Miranda Cerda Rodrigo Andrés , Schelin Adriane Beatriz , Ferreira José Leonardo
Published: July 2024

In fusion plasma, numerical simulations are commonly employed to investigate the confinement properties of plasma in the bulk region of tokamaks. The modified Hasegawa-Wakatani (MHW) equations are used to model the behavior of the plasma, which enables us to understand the radial transport in two-dimensional numerical simulations of electrostatic resistive drift-wave turbulence. By utilizing the MHW equations, we have gained insights into the low-to-high confinement (L-H) transitions that occur spontaneously in the plasma when it moves from a low confinement stage, characterized by turbulent flow, to a turbulence-suppressed regime known as zonal flow. To investigate these transitions, we vary the value of a control parameter \(\alpha\), which is related to adiabaticity, in numerical simulations, and observe the transition between the two regimes. This simplified model of L-H transitions can provide valuable information for tokamaks. To identify the Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) and to better characterize the chaotic mixing during the L-H transition, we computed the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) of the calculated velocity field derived from the electrostatic potential. We further compared the statistics of the chaotic mixing of the two regimes. The results of our study offer insights into the turbulent transport processes in magnetic confinement fusion plasmas.

As legiões revolucionárias do Paraná e a oposição tenentista ao interventor Mário Tourinho
Authors: Granato Natalia Cristina
Published: July 2024

As legiões revolucionárias tiveram seu início a partir de outubro de 1930, e desde então começaram as dissidências políticas em relação ao situacionismo. A organização política tenentista surgiu a partir da ação dos militares que atuaram no movimento armado de 1930 no estado, reunindo também apoiadores civis do movimento tenentista da década de 1920 e da Aliança Liberal. No Paraná, a oposição ao interventor Mário Tourinho começou a ser organizada em dezembro de 1930. Os elementos militares ligados às legiões e clubes revolucionários tenentistas se revoltaram com as práticas políticas da interventoria. Esses agentes enviaram uma série de telegramas ao gabinete de Oswaldo Aranha, um dos principais articuladores do governo Vargas com as interventorias, com grande poder de negociação entre os tenentes revolucionários e os oligarcas dissidentes. Essa crise teve como desfecho a exoneração de Mário Tourinho na interventoria federal, em dezembro de 1931. Esse trabalho pretende investigar as oposições tenentistas ao interventor a partir das fontes do Arquivo Oswaldo Aranha, disponíveis no acervo do CPDOC-FGV. Através das correspondências enviadas ao gabinete ministerial, analisaremos as ações de oposição ao interventor feitas pelas legiões revolucionárias, relacionando esses fatos com o estilo de centralização política praticado pelo Governo Provisório de Getúlio Vargas.

The rise of sustainable finance, which involves financial tools operating within the framework of environmental, social, and governance principles adopted by companies and financial institutions, is gaining traction in major global markets. According to the Global Alliance for Sustainable Investments, these approaches already account for 35.9% of total invested assets. This trend is driven by a new global reality where long-term development cannot take place without addressing deepening environmental and social contradictions. The article aims to assess the priority of ESG of the banks as sustainable finance factors for the development of the recommendations, as the assessment of the ESG principles in the banks of the country allows for the identification of further courses of sustainable finance development. Furthermore, the investigation of leading countries' experiences in environmentally and socially responsible investment and its role in the banking system reveals both common and specific features that could be effectively implemented in Kazakhstan. The research methodology entails experts’ assessment from the middle management level of the banks of ESG impact of 9 factors by AHP method. The AHP method allows investors to systematically compare and prioritize used ESG factors, that relates to their significance as the indicators for assessment the state and prospects for the ESG principles implementation in the bank’s activity in Kazakhstan. The obtained results allow to suggest that priority instruments for ESG promotion in the country are a legislative framework and the state program. The study illustrates that the integration of ESG factors into the strategy of sustainable development of banks contributes to the growth of their assets by increasing demand for sustainable products and attracting new customers. The findings have practical implications for banks related to sustainable finance and ESG criteria-based investing.

Published: July 2024

This article is devoted to the study of the problem of evaluating the effectiveness of financing the education sector as an important industry that contributes to the creation of conditions for accelerated economic growth. In the context of the formation and development of an innovative economy, investments in education are of a priority nature and provide an important competitive advantage from a strategic point of view - the accumulation and development of the country's intellectual potential. At the same time, an increase in investment in education does not mean an increase in the effect and cannot guarantee an increase in the quality of educational services. Therefore, one of the topical issues in the implementation of investments in the industry is the evaluation of their effectiveness. The formation of a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of investment in education at the macro level is based on a comparison of changes in national investment in education and changes in the human development index. Approbation of the proposed method is carried out on a specific example. This article analyzes the works of the classics of philosophy and economics, monographs, scientific and technical research, and articles by foreign and domestic scientists on the analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of investments in human capital. The results of this study raise an important question for theoretical economists: what the mechanism by which human capital is affects economic growth, how to model the relationship between the stock of human capital, capital, and technological progress, as well as the law of accumulation of human capital in the model.

Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the burgeoning field of Turkic language education in South Korea, highlighting its historical context, current landscape, and future prospects. As globalization and South Korea’s engagement with resource-rich Central Asia intensify, the significance of Turkic languages in fostering cultural understanding and promoting multiculturalism within Korea has become evident. This article explores the current landscape of Central Asian and Turkic language education in South Korea, focusing specifically on Kazakh language education. By analyzing existing programs, challenges faced by educators and learners, and potential areas for growth, this research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of this developing field and its significance for Korea’s expanding soft power and cross-cultural diplomacy efforts. Despite the growing interest in Turkic language education, several obstacles hinder its expansion, including limited resources and the perceived difficulty of Turkic languages. To address these challenges, collaborations with Turkic-speaking countries are proposed, along with establishing a Central Asian cultural center in South Korea as a strategic move to promote Turkic language education, enhance cultural exchange, and strengthen Korea’s relationships with Central Asian nations. Such initiatives would foster reciprocity in cultural exchange, promote soft power for Kazakhstan, support Turkic language learning, and enhance Korea’s relations with Central Asian nations. While challenges exist, the prospects for Turkic language education in South Korea are promising.
RESEARCH OF COMMUNICATION: CULTURAL-PHILOSOPHICAL CONTEXT
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Doskhozhina Zhanat
Published: July 2024

In this article the author reveals the specifics of axiological approach to modern problems of communication with the help of fundamental philosophical theories analysis. In the center of the study are such concepts as socio-philosophical reflection, intersubjectivity, alienation, personalism and ideal communicative community. These concepts have become the starting points of 20th century philosophy in the study of human being’s existential nature. The moral priorities of the philosophical theories’ founders were aimed against the monological concept of communication, the use of human being and various manipulative techniques directed solely for profit. According to the philosophers, the value basis of communication is in the process of building a true dialogue, where each of its participants acquires an ideal relationship and comes to an understanding of the other. The theories that contribute to the return of man to his true moral purpose are becoming particularly relevant in connection with the cultural world’s unification, the globalization process, and the humiliation of an individual as an object of virtue. The construction of an ideal communicative group becomes possible when the participants of communication overcome their own subjective attitudes and create mutual rational motivation. The considered theories call for such universal human values as love, care, respect, honesty, freedom, justice, spirituality, truth, and humanity. According to the philosophers, appeal to these values in the process of communication can lead a person out of the widespread alienation and unlock the destructive existential circle of modern human being, constructed of vices.

The article is devoted to the development of an algorithm for correcting of vector magnetic data measured by a magnetometer manually or using unmanned aerial vehicles. This algorithm and its software realization is necessary in the problem of navigating by magnetic data. The idea of ​magnetic positioning is to create a map of the magnetic field in the selected region from the measurement data, and for this all measurements must be corrected taking into account the model data. Measurement errors occur due to various kinds of interference associated with the incorrect orientation of the magnetometer axes. The model magnetic field of the Earth, calculated from known models IGRF or WMM, is taken as a reference. The algorithm is based on the search for orientation angles in the transfer matrix, which ensures minimization of difference between measured and model fields.

Authors: Vidayana Vidayana , Burhanudin Burhanudin , Lokaadingroho Indrabudhi , Mansuan Melki Sadekh
Published: July 2024

Social media platforms are currently grappling with unforeseen difficulties that have hindered their expansion. Previous studies have disclosed that Facebook, one of the most prominent social media sites, has encountered a reduction in its user base. Similarly, other social media platforms have also reported a substantial decline in user numbers and engagement levels, indicating a significant downturn in their popularity. The primary objective of this research is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the role played by the social presence in human-computer-mediated interactions, specifically in the context of social media. Data from 473 college students from their second to tenth semesters were collected through an online survey. Amos 25 was utilized to test the constructs of the variables of social presence, social connectedness, attitude, and intention to continue using social media. The Hayes Macro Process version 3.5 was used to test the proposed model. The results showed that social connectedness (Con) moderates the effect of social presence and attitude on user intention to continue using social networks. This result extends the body of research on human-computer-mediated interactions by uncovering the role of connectedness in human-computer-mediated interactions and technology adoption.

The focus of this study is the classification of maize images with common rust, gray leaf spot, blight, and healthy diseases. Various models, including ResNet50, ResNet101, Xception, VGG16, and ENet, were tested for this purpose. The dataset used for corn plant diseases is publicly available, and the data were split into separate sets for training, validation, and testing. After processing the data, the following models were identified: the Xception model epoch with an accuracy of 83.74%, the ResNet model with an accuracy of 97.19% at epoch 8/10, the ResNet101 model with an accuracy of 97.55% at epoch 10/10, and the ENet model with an accuracy of 98.69% at epoch 9/1000. ENet exhibited the highest accuracy among the five models at 98.69%. Additionally, ENet achieved an average accuracy of 95.45%, the highest among all tested models, based on the average accuracy in the confusion matrix. This research indicates that ENet performs best at processing data related to maize plant diseases. Consequently, the analysis of maize plant diseases is expected to evolve as a result of this research. Following the implementation of the system's generated model, this research will continue to explore its impact. The intention is to provide a summary of the comparative classification performance of CNN algorithms.

Published: July 2024

Las evaluaciones médicas ocupacionales (EMO) se definen como exámenes que determinan las condiciones de salud física y mental de un trabajador antes de su contratación, durante su permanencia en la organización o una vez finalizado el vínculo laboral. Esta investigación tiene como propósito reconocer la importancia y validez de las EMO en la identificación de alteraciones en la función orgánica o mental que puedan afectar el desempeño laboral. Los EMO son parte central de los programas de vigilancia en salud para los trabajadores en el marco de los sistemas de gestión de seguridad y salud en el trabajo. Adicionalmente, se exploró la estandarización de estas evaluaciones y se evaluó su importancia tanto para los trabajadores como para las empresas en términos de seguimiento y estrategias de promoción y prevención de la salud. Teniendo en cuenta el mencionado objetivo, la justificación de esta investigación se basa en la escasez de estudios que destaquen la importancia en salud laboral asociada a estos exámenes. Para abordar esta problemática, se llevó a cabo un análisis bibliométrico y una revisión rápida de la literatura en la cual se encuentra que no se reconoce la importante de las EMO en el desempeño laboral.

She collected many pieces and published books and articles on the subject, which continue to serve as the foundation for archaeological, historical, and anthropological studies. A substantial portion of the objects collected by the researcher now forms part of the Popular Culture collection at the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Federal University of Paraná (MAE-UFPR). This text outlines the trajectory of the incorporation of this collection into the museum.

The remarkable collection of Herta Scheuer was donated to the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Federal University of Paraná, gathering a unique collection of ceramic vessels produced by women in the states of São Paulo and Paraná in the 20th century. It demonstrates communities of practice that persist today with sociabilities and aesthetics dedicated to circulating memories and knowledge among generations. With an approach based on active listening and meticulous observation, thoroughly described in her publications, field notebooks, drawings, and photographs, Herta produced an invaluable record for understanding the future of the past of descendant communities—Indigenous, Afro-descendant, AfroIndigenous, and others with traditional knowledge—and for the recognition of the “work” of their ancestral women. This collection is presented here as a memory database of practices, both for academic research and for communities interested in recovering knowledge that their ancestors bequeathed in some way.

Abstract
The European Commission requested an estimation of the BSE risk (C‐, L‐ and H‐BSE) from gelatine and collagen derived from ovine, caprine or bovine bones, and produced in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, or Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and its implementing Regulation (EU) No 142/2011. A quantitative risk assessment was developed to estimate the BSE infectivity, measured in cattle oral infectious dose 50 (CoID50), in a small size batch of gelatine including one BSE‐infected bovine or ovine animal at the clinical stage. The model was built on a scenario where all ruminant bones could be used for the production of gelatine and high‐infectivity tissues remained attached to the skull (brain) and vertebral column (spinal cord). The risk and exposure pathways defined for humans and animals, respectively, were identified. Exposure routes other than oral via food and feed were considered and discussed but not assessed quantitatively. Other aspects were also considered as integrating evidence, like the epidemiological situation of the disease, the species barrier, the susceptibility of species to BSE and the assumption of an exponential dose–response relationship to determine the probability of BSE infection in ruminants. Exposure to infectivity in humans cannot be directly translated to risk of disease because the transmission barrier has not yet been quantified, although it is considered to be substantial, i.e. much greater amounts of infectivity would be needed to successfully infect a human and greater in the oral than in the parenteral route of exposure. The probability that no new case of BSE in the cattle or small ruminant population would be generated through oral exposure to gelatine made of ruminant bones is 99%–100% (almost certain) This conclusion is based on the current state of knowledge, the epidemiological situation of the disease and the current practices, and is also valid for collagen.

The growing demand for energy, coupled with volatile oil prices and the environmental damage caused by the harmful gases produced when it is used, has prompted countries to explore alternative energy sources. The transportation sector, an important end-user of petroleum, must adapt to the changing energy landscape and opt for new technologies to remain competitive. The study conducted a thorough thermodynamic analysis to assess the economic and environmental impact of using biodiesel (BD) made from cold-pressed linseed crude oil, commercial diesel fuel (DF), and ethanol in a compression-ignition (CI) engine. The study conducted a detailed thermodynamic analysis of performance and emission data recorded from a single-cylinder diesel engine. The analysis included energy, exergy, sustainability, exergoeconomic, exergoenvironmental, and exergoenviroeconomic parameters. The results pointed out that the fuel energy increases with the load, with B20E5 fuel reaching 6.887 kW at 25% load and 18.908 kW at 75% load. BD and blended fuels were found to have a higher fuel energy compared to DF. At 50% load, DF and B20 fuels have fuel energies of 10.765 kW and 10.888 kW, respectively. The analysis clearly demonstrates that commercial DF outperforms both DF-BD binary fuel blends and DF-BD-ethanol blends in terms of thermal and exergy efficiency values. Furthermore, DF exhibits lower entropy generation and exergy destruction than other binary and ternary blends. At maximum load, the exergy efficiencies of DF, B20, and B20E10 fuels were 28.5%, 25.8%, and 24.7%, respectively. The exergy losses were determined to be 10.495 kW, 12.317 kW, and 13.134 kW, respectively, under the same conditions. Binary and ternary fuel blends have a higher cost of power from the engine shaft due to the expensive market prices of ethanol and linseed oil-based BD compared to DF. However, B20 and B20E10 fuels have a lower environmental cost than DF, with B20 and B20E10 fuels estimated to be 2.8% and 5.3% lower than DF, respectively, at full load. These findings demonstrate the clear advantages of using B20 and B20E10 fuels over DF, both in terms of cost and environmental impact. Additionally, the infusion of ethanol into ternary blends reduces the environmental damage.  This study provides a unique perspective on sustainable energy research and serves as a valuable reference for future studies.

The study aims to analyze some changes in rainfall behavior in (10) global cities, including Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai, Chicago, Istanbul, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam, Madrid, Florance, and New York using an advanced machine learning (ML) approach for predicting the average precipitation. Utilizing the Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model, we have acquired mean precipitation monthly data from the selected cities with covering the period of 2000-2023. In order to assess mean precipitation in cities, we effectively employed both the average mutual information (AMI) during the model’s development. Constructed using both a training subset (80% of data from 2000 to 2018) and a testing subset (20% of data from 2019 to 2023), MP forecasting models for ten cities were established. When compared to the DNN model, the CNN model truly shined by showcasing its remarkable potential as a high-level model in accurately estimating mean precipitation values of cities while demonstrating superior generalization ability and minimal variance.

The results of estimating the (NARDL) model showed the negative and positive effects of the variables of oil prices and inflation on foreign trade, as positive changes in oil prices have a positive and significant effect on trade, while negative changes in oil prices can have a negative effect on trade, but they have a significant effect only when 10% significance level The model estimation results showed that a favorable shock in crude oil prices of 1% would lead to a decrease in gross domestic product (GDP) by 1.152%, a decrease in unemployment by 0.3112%, a decrease in public expenditures by 0.4631%, and an increase in foreign trade by 5.8935%. The results also showed that the occurrence of a shock Favorable inflation of 1% leads to an increase in output by 0.6534% and a decrease in unemployment by 0.013%. The Iraqi economy is a rentier economy and the oil sector dominates the total value of the gross domestic product. It suffers from structural imbalances due to weak policies and programs taken by the government. As a result, it faced many external shocks, the effects of which were reflected in economic development
