STABILIZATION MECHANISMS OF EU MONETARY POLICY IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERACTION WITH THE FINANCIAL SPHERE OF UKRAINE
Authors: BORZENKO Olena , HLAZOVA Anna
Published: October 2024

Existing classic methods of analysing the monetary policy of the central bank, such as the aggregate response function, explain the behavior of the ECB in a rather simplified way. This is the result of the fact that classical methods do not consider the regional features of the members of the European Monetary Un ion and the structure of the system of central banks. The study of monetary policy with the involvement of macroeconomic theories of organization, theories of teams and coalition behavior, which are new for a macroeconomic subject, can make a significant contribution to the research process of European monetary integration.

Since European integration is declared as a strategic direction of Ukraine’s economic development, the analysis and generalization of the problem of the modern European economy in the context of the impact of Russia’s war against Ukraine from 2022 is relevant. Therefore, in order to understand the problems and prospects of modernization of the functioning of the monetary and credit system in the EU, it is important to research and scientifically substantiate the stabilization mechanisms for Ukraine.

The article investigates some stabilization mechanisms that are Ukraine Facility and Multi-Agency Donor Coordination Platform. Funding by Ukraine Facility is analysed through its pillars, components and implementation of main conditions for receiving benefits on the way of Ukrainian economy recovery. MultiAgency Donor Coordination Platform for Ukraine, as innovative instrument for coordinating activities of its members, is researched on the base of its existing funding mechanisms: the G7 Finance Track, the G7+ Coordination Group on energy infrastructure and the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) Coordination Group.

This study aimed to synthesize a novel miswak based dental composite by incorporating miswak powder, chlorhexidine (CHX), and silica fillers in different proportions into a resinous mixture and assess the influence of these fillers on the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of newly developed composites. The stock monomer solution was synthesized using urethane dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Four experimental groups (A, B, C, D) were prepared using 30% stock monomer with 70% filler formulations, while two commercial composites were used as control groups (E, F). The highest value of degree of conversion was shown by Group D, whereas the lowest – by Group A. Compressive strength evaluation showed Group E had the highest value, while the lowest value was recorded for Group B. Furthermore, cytotoxicity assessment showed that all the groups of composites had a biocompatible nature, except Groups A and B, having slight cytotoxicity. Thus, the experimental groups can be used as restorative materials as they exhibited optimum properties.

In this experimental study, the usability of waste corn husk was investigated as a source of reinforcement material for the first time in eco-friendly particleboard manufacture. For this purpose, the effect of the most appropriate filler/binder (f/b) ratio and pressing temperature manufacturing conditions on three-point flexural strength in particleboard manufacture was examined. To improve the mechanical properties, the water resistance and combustion resistance of the manufactured particleboards, different amounts of corn silk fiber (0~1.50% by weight) and waste colemanite (0~20% by weight) were added. According to the experimental results, the most appropriate manufacturing conditions for the manufacture of corn husk-based particleboard were determined as f/b ratio of 0.75, pressing temperature of 100 °C, and corn silk fiber loading of 0.75 wt%. Additionally, synthetic binders and beet molasses were used together in particleboard manufacture. The particleboards manufactured comply with the specifications of the EN 312 standard, being below the maximum limit values in terms of thickness swelling, and water absorption rates. In addition, by increasing the waste colemanite content in the board composition, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) values and combustion resistance of the boards were increased. However, the use of waste colemanite in particleboard manufacture reduced the flexural strength of the boards. When 5% waste colemanite was added to the particleboards, the boards manufactured met the minimum limit value requirement for P1 type board, according to EN 312. The dimensional stability of the manufactured particleboards, according to the determined manufacturing conditions, is quite good. Particleboards manufactured from corn husks can be used in interior and exterior applications as eco-friendly building materials.
Light source dependence on quantitative measurement for dispersibility of dark-colored colloidal dispersions
Authors: Kojiro Kento , Akagi Kanako , Ohtake Asami , Sakaguchi Koichi
Published: October 2024

Colloidal particles are applied to manufacturing in various fields such as ink, food, cosmetics, etc. It is important to study the dispersibility of colloidal particles because they are dispersed in some solvents. However, many colloidal dispersions are dark-colored, and typical methods cannot evaluate the dispersibility. Therefore, dispersibility has been evaluated by the naked eye in almost all research papers. Therefore, we have fabricated a quantitative dispersibility evaluation system (QDES) for the dark colloidal dispersion using light transparency by various light types and colors of bright lights. The obtained data were fitted with a stretched exponential function (SEF) to evaluate the dispersibility. As one of the examples of a dark colloidal particle, we chose graphene oxide (GO) which is applied to manufacturing with printing technology. From the measurement results, the red LED light is suitable for the QDES in terms of accuracy and applicability to the SEF.
Electric properties for thin films of microwave treated hydrophilic graphite fabricated by liquid–liquid interface
Authors: Chikami Ryusei , Yamasaki Keiji , Kiyonaga Tsukasa , Ohtake Asami , Sakaguchi Koichi
Published: October 2024

This paper reports the results of an attempt to combine microwave treated hydrophilic graphite (MwHG), a new carbon material that is both hydrophilic and electrically conductive, with a new deposition method using the interface between the aqueous and organic phases, the liquid–liquid interface deposition method (L-L method). The synthesized MwHG was characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, and the deposited MwHG films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrical properties. It was found that the crystallinity of MwHG was changed by changing the microwave irradiation time during the synthesis of MwHG. It was also found that the high electrical conductivity was related to the microwave irradiation time or the order in which the films were deposited. Furthermore, the surface morphology of the films consisted of agglomerations of particles of different sizes with pores, and the size of the particles decreased with the number of depositions.

Authors: Santolaria Castellanos Ana Isabel , Ramos Alderete Jaime
Published: October 2024

Along the hydrographic axis of the Alto Guadiana River, there is a collection of architectures built at different times and with diverse uses whose raison d'être is their special relationship with water. The vast majority of these architectural pieces are today abandoned or underused. This research aims to underline their value, highlight the relationship between buildings and water, and reflect on the opportunities they represent, understanding that they are key pieces of the landscape and play an essential role in it.This article presents a narrative that intertwines the architectures of water with the territory and time in an intimate way, giving them a new meaning and therefore opening the door to new opportunities. As we walk through the landscape, the narrative that unites these architectural pieces becomes visible, giving them a new significance and thus completing the landscape.
University, city and territory. The Magrone Barracks as a new Innovation Park
Authors: Ficarelli Loredana , Turchiarulo Mariangela , Vacca Valentina
Published: October 2024

Universities not only play the role of social elevator but also stand as a development engine for the Territories hosting them, through synergies between institutions and businesses. The Innovation Park project at the former Magrone Barracks is an innovative example of management and rehabilitation of abandoned state-owned property for creating a fragment of Bari’s urban landscape by expressing common values in which the University, the City and extended territorial areas can recognise themselves. There is a need for a paradigm shift in the interpretation of the design of these facilities, which can become genuine integrated “urban factories”, Community Hubs capable of offering new spaces for the urban fabric, attracting talent and generating businesses.
Place recognition and construction: the example of Piazza Testaccio in Rome
Authors: Reale Luca
Published: October 2024

The case-study of Piazza Testaccio in Rome shows that public space, in order to be attractive, must necessarily be designed as a continuous plan open to the context. It also indicates that participatory processes are successful when they are the result of a concrete synergy between citizens, authorities and planners, and much less so when they respond to models and procedures imposed from above. The text traces the participatory design conception phase with the inhabitants, the formal, functional and technical-constructive choices, the implementation and the use of this new urban space in which people interact and meet, even casually, turning it into a “place” precisely through the individual and collective recognition of a community.

Authors: Longo Danila , Roversi Rossella , Massari Martina , Fabbri Kristian , Mercuri Riccardo
Published: October 2024

Choosing adaptation and mitigation actions, through nature-based solutions, fosters the ecological transition process, which is necessary to face the challenges of climate change. However, these interventions are often discontinuous and disconnected, especially within dense and delicate urban fabrics such as historic centres. The research proposes a multi-scalar methodological approach aimed at defining an integrated design tool to improve the microclimatic well-being, accessibility and aesthetic quality of open spaces located in consolidated urban environments. Through the synergy between natural, technological and social components, the aim is to create replicable minimum intervention units designed to foster democratic and ecosystemic connections.

Authors: Battistella Alessio , Brownlee Timothy Daniel , Ferrato Elisa
Published: October 2024

This paper describes the outcome of an international cooperation project aiming at contributing to the protection and the promotion of rights of people with disabilities and to their participation in increasingly inclusive and accessible communities. In Palestine, military occupation causes a lack of basic infrastructures, empty land and planning, de-facto making public areas rare. The opportunity to access an inclusive and safe space is a fundamental factor in quality of living. The participatory processes applied here to implement spatial transformation through sustainable micro-infrastructures foster awareness and knowledge sharing among the participants, despite the obstacles and limits acknowledged herein, opening to possible future developments.

Authors: Corti Martina , Piluso Aurora , Struzziero Diletta , Follesa Stefano
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to investigate the connections between sports and Urban Regeneration, and the role these connections can have in the communities of the cities. The promotion of physical activity within urban areas is today a driving force for economic and social development, and intervenes in the fragile conditions of cities. Design, as a discipline of connection between the active components of these transformations, becomes an instrument of inclusion. The interaction between people and urban space is central in promoting physical activity and a diversified community commitment. The paper investigates practices and tools of the discipline in the relationship between urban spaces and sports practices, and how this relationship leads communities to conceive new development opportunities.
Designing the public works values
Authors: Mussinelli Elena
Published: October 2024

What are public works, and under what conditions can they be considered a “common value” recognized by the community? The contributions to issue n. 28 of TECHNE Journal delve into these conditions, offering critical reflections and research advancements that examine cities, buildings, places, and public services from the perspective that «the entire urban space must be regarded as something produced, owned, and transformed collectively» (Marella, 2024). There are three main areas of reflection and proposal: the first involves the methods and procedural and design tools that can be employed for the recovery and adaptive reuse of public works facing functional obsolescence, abandonment, and/or decay; the second addresses the regenerative processes of public spaces and entire urban sectors with a focus on usability and environmental sustainability; and the third concerns the participatory design of public works as a vital lever for the creation of social value. This set of design actions is well-supported by analytical and evaluative tools that guide the decision-making process, all driven by an interest in optimizing the socio-economic, cultural, and environmental benefits that can result from more effective and efficient public works production and management processes, especially in response to evolving social demands.

A prevenção quaternária representa um conceito fundamental no enfrentamento da crescente medicalização e das intervenções médicas desnecessárias, fenômenos que vêm se intensificando nas últimas décadas devido ao avanço tecnológico e à cultura intervencionista predominante na prática clínica. Este artigo de revisão científica busca explorar as principais estratégias para a implementação da prevenção quaternária, com ênfase na educação dos profissionais de saúde, na tomada de decisão compartilhada, na parcimônia diagnóstica e terapêutica, e no uso criterioso de diretrizes clínicas baseadas em evidências. A prevenção quaternária visa proteger os pacientes de diagnósticos e tratamentos que não trazem benefícios reais e, ao contrário, podem causar danos iatrogênicos significativos, sobrecarregando os sistemas de saúde e comprometendo a segurança do paciente. A revisão aborda os desafios inerentes à implementação dessas estratégias, incluindo as pressões econômicas e institucionais para a realização de mais exames e tratamentos, as expectativas dos pacientes em relação às tecnologias médicas, e a influência da indústria farmacêutica. A cultura médica tradicional, que valoriza a intervenção imediata como a principal resposta clínica, constitui uma barreira significativa para a adoção da prevenção quaternária. Conclui-se que a mudança de paradigma proposta por esse conceito exige não apenas uma reformulação da prática médica, mas também a criação de políticas públicas que favoreçam a utilização racional de recursos de saúde e promovam uma medicina mais centrada no paciente. A adoção de uma medicina reflexiva e ética, que priorize o bem-estar do paciente e a parcimônia nas intervenções, é essencial para assegurar a sustentabilidade dos sistemas de saúde e a segurança clínica.

A análise preditiva de complicações pós-operatórias em cirurgia geral emergiu como uma ferramenta de grande relevância para melhorar a segurança do paciente e otimizar o uso de recursos hospitalares. Por meio da integração de técnicas avançadas de aprendizado de máquina e modelos estatísticos, é possível prever, com maior precisão, quais pacientes estão em risco de desenvolver complicações graves, como infecções, tromboembolismo venoso e falência de órgãos. Este artigo oferece uma revisão crítica da literatura sobre os principais métodos de análise preditiva, incluindo regressão logística, florestas aleatórias, máquinas de vetor de suporte (SVM) e redes neurais, bem como das variáveis preditivas mais relevantes, como idade, comorbidades pré-existentes, estado nutricional e características intraoperatórias. Também discutimos as aplicações clínicas desses modelos, que incluem a personalização dos cuidados, a melhoria da alocação de recursos e a redução de custos hospitalares. Embora os modelos preditivos apresentem benefícios significativos, a implementação clínica enfrenta desafios importantes, como a qualidade dos dados, a generalização dos modelos para diferentes contextos e a interpretabilidade das previsões. Concluímos que, apesar desses desafios, a análise preditiva representa uma fronteira promissora na medicina perioperatória, com potencial para melhorar substancialmente os desfechos cirúrgicos, desde que acompanhada de esforços tecnológicos e éticos adequados.

A cultura digital influenciou os padrões de beleza, destacando a harmonização facial como técnica não cirúrgica de remodelação facial. Procedimentos populares incluem marcação da mandíbula, correção de rugas e mudança do formato do nariz, com uso predominante de ácido hialurônico (AH). O AH, um polímero natural no corpo, melhora a sustentação, hidratação, elasticidade e volume da pele, sendo ideal para preenchimentos dérmicos. O envelhecimento cutâneo provoca perda de contornos e surgimento de rugas, tornando os tratamentos com AH, que são minimamente invasivos e reversíveis, uma escolha popular. Apesar de riscos como reações alérgicas, essas complicações são raras. Laserterapia de baixa intensidade é uma alternativa complementar que reduz edemas, promove a regeneração tecidual e tem efeitos anti-inflamatórios e analgésicos, acelerando a recuperação após o uso de AH.

A pesquisa empírica foi desenvolvida por meio de um estudo de caso em quatro projetos de uma empresa que atua no setor elétrico brasileiro. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados adotados foram a entrevista semiestruturada e a análise documental. Como resultados, destaca-se que os microfundamentos que mais fortemente influenciam as atividades de SOI são detecção (parceria com stakeholders, alocar recursos e investimentos e de construção de confiança) identificados em todos os projetos. Já aqueles com uma influência fraca, se destacam análise da cadeia de valor (apreensão), impacto sustentável e geração de novos conhecimentos (reconfiguração) em especial nas atividades de OO. A partir do refinamento do framework foi possível apresentar 10 proposições (1 detecção, 6 apreensão e 3 reconfiguração), fornecendo insights práticos e áreas a serem investigadas. A pesquisa desenvolvida também fornece direcionamentos para gestores de projetos sobre como as microfundamentos influenciam nas atividades de inovação em direção a uma cultura ESG (Ambiental, Social e de Governança). Além disso, o framework pode ser utilizado como uma ferramenta de gestão para guiar a tomada de decisão quanto aos futuros projetos da organização com foco na sustentabilidade.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN KARNATAKA: A STUDY OF ‘NO POVERTY’ GOAL WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HAVERI DISTRICT
Authors: Hemanth C N
Published: October 2024

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Sustainable development aims to bring a balance between meeting the requirement of what the present demand while not overlooking the needs of future generations. Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. While the number of people living in extreme poverty dropped by more than half between 1990 and 2015, too many are still struggling for the most basic human needs.
Achieving ‘No Poverty’ is one the SDGs and it is the main theme of the present study.

The problem concerning key storage at Politeknik Tun Syed Nasir Syed Ismail (PTSN) systems is a lack of systematic administration, leading to uncontrolled and insecure essential management procedures. Consequently, the objective is to create an intelligent key tracking system (SKTS) utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) and Arduino Mega to establish a secure and properly organized key storage system with efficient data management. This project introduces the monitoring system with automated and real-time data collection. SKTS design uses an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and an ESP8266 Node MCU Wi-Fi module that sends data over the cloud. The project also utilizes the Telegram chat application bot to notify and monitor the keys' retrieval and return. It is also equipped with an RFID reader as a sensor. As the authorized user, once the RFID card is swept, type the selection key number; the solenoid lock for the selected key will open, and the key is free to be picked. The liquid crystal display (LCD) will show the authorized user data and selected room number. A signal will send the information to the Telegram application through a mobile phone to notify the other authorized user. This project successfully achieves its objective by utilizing the Telegram application to notify critical users and authorized individuals when keys are returned. These real-time notifications are visible to all registered group members on the Telegram application. The Likert Scale, which has two points, is established by utilizing data responses from the rubrics form, with evaluators consisting of industrial designers and researchers. The results are subsequently synthesized using qualitative percentages. The responses to the item provided via the rubric assessment form show that the SKTS meets the design, ideal, and functional aspects.

Authors: - Ruchik Kashyapkumar Thaker
Published: October 2024

Autonomous systems, particularly autonomous vehicles (AVs), have advanced significantly over the past two decades, offering promising benefits for transportation in terms of safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. However, the opaque nature of AI-driven decision-making in these systems poses challenges for trust, societal acceptance, and regulatory compliance. To mitigate these concerns, the integration of Explainable AI (XAI) is critical. XAI provides transparent, interpretable reasoning behind autonomous decisions, ensuring accountability and alignment with ethical and legal standards. This paper explores the role of XAI in enhancing trust and transparency in AVs, reviewing current methodologies, proposing a framework for AV decision-making explainability, and discussing the regulatory implications. Additionally, the paper identifies the needs of key stakeholders, including developers, users, and regulators, and outlines future research directions to further improve the interpretability of AI-guided autonomous systems, fostering broader societal acceptance and trust.

This study was conducted to improve or develop food products and processing technologies specifically that will help in value-adding, creating new marketable forms that out from the watermelon rind that is usually thrown away or discarded. The study used experimental research using a completely randomized design with four treatments replicated thrice. Different measurements of watermelon rind puree were used to represent the treatments of the study. The products were evaluated by 50 respondents composed of ten (10) trained faculty on sensory evaluation of products; 35 student evaluators who know food preparation and evaluation of products and five (5) selected bakery owners from the Municipality of Sta. Maria Ilocos Sur. Results showed that T3 (400ml of watermelon rind puree) was best in all sensory evaluations and had the highest return on investment. Analysis of variance manifests that there is a significant difference between treatments. Based on the study, the watermelon cookies are considered healthy, acceptable, and nutritious. It contained ash of 1.12g, moisture content 12.96g, crude fat 11.0g, and 10.37g per 100 g of crude protein per 100 grams of the product. The technology should be subjected to further testing on shelf-life tests and physio-chemical tests. This study also recommends the use of watermelon rind as an enhancer in making pastry products like chips, marmalade, jams/jellies and other products.

Abstract
Evans Syndrome is a very rare autoimmune disorder in which the immune system destroys the body's red blood cells, white blood cells, and/or platelets. The exact cause of this condition is unknown. It can be primary (no underlying cause identified) or secondary (associated with underlying disease). (1) Secondary causes can include SLE, MCTD, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, Sjogren, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, CLL, antiphospholipid syndrome, HIV, and hepatitis C. Evans syndrome was first described in 1951 by R.S. Evans and is characterized by AIHA (autoimmune hemolytic anemia) and ITP (immune thrombocytopenic purpura) with or without neutropenia (leukopenia). In the U.S., this disease is estimated to affect fewer than 5000 individuals. Incidence increased from 0.97 (in 1980) to 1.84 (in 2016) per million years. Prevalence increased from 3.30 (in 1980) to 21.30 (in 2016) per million years. Common symptoms include autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune neutropenia, and petechiae. First-line treatment includes steroids and IVIG. Second-line treatment includes Rituximab. For refractory cases, treatments may include cyclosporine, MMF, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and HSCT.
