CONSEPTUAL MODEL ON THE ADOPTION OF CHINESE MOBILE OPERATING SYSTEM WITH ROGERS’ DIFFUSION OF INNOVATIONS THEORY AND ANIMOSITY
Authors: LAU SAMUEL L H , ABDULLAH MAZILAH
Published: December 2024

The Mobile Operating System (MOS) market has been dominated by the Apple's iOS and Google's Android. From the origin perspective, the MOS market is clearly dominated by the US, which can be used as a political weapon in geopolitical conflicts. During the US-China trade war, Huawei was banned from using Android. In response to the ban, Huawei introduced its own MOS, HarmonyOS. However, as of 2024, HarmonyOS remains insignificant in the MOS market. This leads to the key focus of this paper, which is to determine the factors that affect the adoption of Chinese MOS. The researchers of this paper conducted literature reviews to gather relevant variables for this case study. The findings of this paper presented a conceptual model consisting of five innovations attributes by Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory and the Animosity as a moderating variable. Five innovations attributes are hypothesised to have relationships with the intention to adopt Chinese MOS, and Animosity is hypothesised to moderate their relationships. This model can contribute to the academic theory of DOI and Animosity in the context of the MOS industry, and provide real-world implications for all Chinese MOS developers, which in return benefit the consumers themselves.

SORPTION OF OXOCHROMATE(VI)-ANIONS FROM WATER BY SOME SORBENTS
Authors:   Udmurt State University, TSYPLENKOVA P.A. , CHERNOVA S.P. , DIDIK M.V. ,   Udmurt State University
Published: December 2024

The results of investigation of the process of oxochromate(VI)-anions sorption from aqueous solutions are presented. The obtained sorption materials - magnetite, bemite, chitosan-modified magnetite - were characterised by IR spectroscopy. The sorption experiment was performed under static conditions. 0,1 mol/dm3 KNO3 was used as a background electrolyte. Photometric determination with definylcarbazide at λ=540 nm was used to establish the residual concentration of oxochromate(VI)-anions. The kinetic equilibrium on bemite and magnetite is reached rapidly (20-30 minutes), whereas in the case of modified magnetite it takes 1 hour to fully reach equilibrium. It was found that the sorption of oxochromate(VI)-anions on the studied sorbents depends on the pH value of the solution. On bemite in acidic medium sorption gradually increases up to pH~2,5, and at pH~3-5 - practically does not change, which is probably due to the change of electrostatic interaction between negatively charged adsorbed oxochromate(VI)-anions and the surface of bemite. On magnetite, the degree of sorption decreases smoothly up to pH~6, after which there is a sharp decline. Sorption of oxochromate(VI)-anions by magnetite is probably due to electrostatic attraction and ion exchange. For the modified magnetite, the pH dependence of the sorption degree is to some extent similar to that of ordinary magnetite. However, in acidic medium the maximum degree of sorption is higher than on magnetite, which can be explained by the participation in the sorption of oxochromate(VI)-anions protonated in acidic medium amino groups of chitosan. The obtained sorption isotherms were processed using theoretical Langmuir and Freundlich models. Bemite (Gmax=1,03 mmol/g) and modified magnetite (Gmax=0,92 mmol/g) showed the maximum sorption capacity towards oxochromate(VI)-anions. On the basis of experimental and literature data it can be stated that the greatest contribution to the extraction of oxochromate(VI)-anions on bemite is made by chemical sorption, on magnetite - by electrostatic interaction of the sorbent surface and adsorbate, on modified magnetite - by electrostatic interaction, not excluding chemisorption, ion exchange and complexation. The obtained sorbents can be recommended for use in the removal of oxochromate(VI)-anions from aqueous media.
Claiming the City Between Two Laws: The Street Vendors Movement in Shillong
Authors: Ray Reeju , Cordeiro Celine
Published: December 2024

After a long drawn legal battle, the Meghalaya High Court in 2022 repealed the contentious Meghalaya Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act 2014 and ordered the implementation of the central Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act 2014. This paper examines the replacement of the State Act with the Central Act and briefly delves into the social and urban historical context of Shillong to situate the role of law and rights of vendors. In view of the developments in the last decade on street vending regulation and a movement for reform led by street vendors in Shillong, Meghalaya, this paper raises questions that require further enquiry and research. Thus, the paper provides a preliminary glimpse into intersections between the right to livelihood, urban spatial governance, and legislative intervention in the specific geographical historical context of north-east India. The aim of the paper is to introduce an urban context of street vendors’ mobilisation and legal battles that are not documented in academic literature on the subject. The paper points to the specific context of Shillong as a borderland urban centre, with a complex demographic and social history. The paper argues that street vendor mobilisation in Shillong towards the replacement of the State Act with the Central Act opened the possibility of an inclusive and progressive politics that challenged mainstream ethnic and caste based politics that marks the city.
Street Vendors and Social Solidarity Economy: Reimagining Credit and Social Security
Authors: Madhav Roopa , Singh Majithia Avi
Published: December 2024

Efforts to advance a strong legal framework to protect informal worker rights in India have tread a convoluted path, fraught with numerous challenges. The long struggle for the legal recognition of street vendors has involved many landmark court rulings, but the implementation of these rulings has been problematic. The problems of implementation include the issues of regulatory design of the Street Vendors Act 2014 and the institutional resistance to enabling informal livelihoods. Government measures to support the most vulnerable street vendors have been inconsistent, particularly at the local level, where confusion and resistance persist. While the pandemic further complicated these issues, it also prompted the Central Government to introduce the PM Street Vendor’s Atma Nirbhar Nidhi (‘SVANidhi’) scheme which provided microcredit to street vendors and accelerated their identification and enumeration in some cities. This paper examines how the SVANidhi scheme adds a new dimension to the legal battle for street vendors by reimagining them as entrepreneurs eligible for credit. The paper highlights the conflicting perspectives of policymakers and law enforcers—while national policies view street vendors as creditworthy, local authorities often see them as nuisances. The paper argues for a more cohesive multi-level governance model that aligns central and local policies. It also advocates for reframing credit for street vendors through the lens of the Social Solidarity Economy (‘SSE’), which the United Nations defines as “a broad set of organisations and enterprises that are specifically geared to producing goods, services and knowledge, while pursuing economic and social aims and fostering solidarity.” By adopting the SSE approach, street vendors can be re-envisioned as entrepreneurs, better addressing their credit needs and social security. Accordingly, the paper ultimately calls for a policy shift in how credit for street vendors is perceived and implemented, promoting worker cooperatives to design their credit solutions within the SSE framework.

Street vending activities received formal legislative recognition in India, with the Parliament enacting the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act in 2014. Since then, the judiciary has sought to uphold the rule based order through the implementation of the Street Vendors Act. However, on-ground implementation of the progressive legislation remains challenging, and vendors continue to face harassment. Looking through the prism of “political society”, this article explores micro-level network politics around street vending in Kolkata. First, it discusses how the city’s political economic context played a role in the mobilisation of the vendors to resist state hegemony. Second, the study underscores the importance of local-level political networks in the implementation process. We bring out how political populism and clientelism play out in practice by highlighting the roles of neighbourhood-level socio-cultural organisations (para clubs) as intermediary actors in the process. Overall, the article provides a nuanced discussion about everyday contestations over street space.
Determining the Optimal Conditions for Dropping a Load from an Aircraft

Optimum conditions for dropping a load from an aircraft are seen as conditions under which no collision with the aircraft is allowed, with stable flight of the load having a trajectory close to the calculated one. Depending on the aerodynamic characteristics, the weight of the load and the type of aircraft, it is necessary to determine the angle at which the load is attached to the aircraft, the initial angular velocity of the load at release, the forced vertical velocity of the load ejection, so that to prevent a collision with the aircraft. On the other hand, applying additional vertical speed to the load will reduce the detrimental effect of the disturbed air flow around the aircraft on its flight. All this is of great importance for ensuring the safe separation of the load from the aircraft and increases the accuracy of solving the targeting problem by a specific targeting system. Mathematical modelling of the flight of the load dropped by an aircraft with different initial vertical speeds of ejection was performed, for which the influence of the disturbed zone on the flight was investigated.

With more than three phases, multi-phase induction machines provide an alluring substitute for lowering the strains placed on the machine's switches and windings. The management of overly produced current is one of the most important issues when making quick and significant adjustments to the speed control of a multi-phase induction motor. Thus, if the speed controller lacks an output amplitude limitation, it may cause harm to both the motor and the power electronics converter. The speed control loop and the two internal current control loops are the first two areas in which this research suggests using polynomial predictive controllers to solve the saturation phenomena of the speed regulator. Then, by convexly optimizing the Youla parameter while accounting for time and frequency constraints, the external predictive speed controller is readjusted. This ensures that the speed response to the reference stays in an imposed model with minimal current control during transient periods, while also preserving the closed-loop functionalities that the initial predictive controller had achieved. The results of the simulation demonstrate how well the suggested control system controls speed under different multi-phase induction machine operating situations.

In this paper, a laboratory-performed study relating to the evaluation of a self-compacting mortar (SCM) made initially from crushed quarry aggregates and modified by the addition of fine dune sand (DS) is presented. The aim was to show the modification of the rheological, acoustic, and mechanical properties of the SCM brought about by this very fine aggregate, whose use is deemed to be unsuitable for the production of cementitious materials. Though, its valorization could save the overexploited natural resource that is crushed quarry sand (CS). For this purpose, different mortar mixtures made with DS rates of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by volume of CS were prepared, and subjected to mini-cone flow, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), and destructive compressive and flexural tensile strength tests. The results showed the improvement of several of the parameters studied after the addition of DS, as well as the possibility of using DS in the design of such kinds of mortars even at very high substitution rates. The study also concludes that DS could serve as a viable alternative to CS, in the sense that it could allow to manage in a more sustainable way the otherwise depleting and overexploited supply of quarry sand.

Quantum computing applies quantum physics ideas to problems that traditional computers cannot address. The qubit, or quantum equivalent of the classical bit, is fundamental to this paradigm shift. Unlike its classical equivalent, a qubit can exist in a superposition of states, representing both 0 and 1. This superposition is defined not only by magnitudes, but also by important phase variables. These phases have a significant impact on qubit behavior and quantum computation outputs. This work conducts a thorough investigation of qubit phases, exploring their tremendous impact on the efficacy and capabilities of quantum algorithms. We investigate how constructive and destructive interference caused by phase interactions provides the foundation of quantum algorithms. Furthermore, we look into the intricate role of phases in establishing and managing entanglement, a unique quantum phenomenon that allows tremendous interactions between qubits. Our investigation includes the effects of numerous quantum operations on qubit phases. We present a thorough mathematical framework for describing how typical quantum gates, such as Hadamard, Pauli, and phase-shift gates, change the phase and thus the overall state of a qubit. We show these concepts through actual implementations of the Qiskit library. Finally, we discuss the intrinsic difficulty of managing and monitoring qubit phases, particularly the negative impacts of decoherence, which disrupts the delicate phase relationships. We describe tactics for mitigating these obstacles and investigate techniques for extracting phase information indirectly, such as quantum state tomography and interferometry. This comprehensive study seeks to provide a better understanding of the critical role phases play in quantum computing, paving the way for advances in algorithm design, quantum control, and the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Published: December 2024

In the present study, a biodegradable composite material based on polylactic acid (PLA) and date kernels (DK) is developed by hot pressing. In first, all the raw materials were processed into powders. Then, PLA-50% date kernels (DK) (% vol.) mixtures were hot-pressed at 180°C under 10 MPa pressure during 5 minutes. Microstructural characterization of the obtained composites was performed using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy (FTIR), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analyzes. The mechanical behavior was evaluated through tribological tests and mass loss measurements were also taken. The results show that the developed composite material exhibits a homogeneous microstructure, with a continuous (polylactic acid) PLA- (date pits) DP interface and chemical bonds of PLA and plant fiber interactions. The tribological tests revealed a low coefficient of friction for this material.
