Examination of the Relationship between Renewable Energy and Economic Performance
Authors: Boubou Hayyan , T. Kiss Judit
Published: May 2020

Many countries are making considerable efforts to achieve solutions to environmental problems that we face today and developing renewable energy resources is one of the potential long-term solutions that constitute an absolute priority from a sustainable development perspective. The usage of renewable energy is one of the critical future challenges to reduce greenhouse gas emission and decrease energy dependency at the same time. Thus, replacing traditional energy sources with renewable ones, like Hydropower and wind power to produce electricity instead of fossil fuel. The objective of this study is to find a relationship between renewable energy consumption, macroeconomic factors, and the environment. There is a reliable and significant (at 1% significant level) association between REC with GHG and GDP and a relatively strong association with EC.
A fejlődés a vállalati folyamatokban rejlik
Authors: Fenyves László
Published: May 2020

Manapság a rohamosan fejlődő világunkra az állandó változás jellemző. A szervezeteknek ezekre a rendszeres változásokra fel kell készülniük és tudniuk kell reagálni, hogy a piaci versenyben érvényesülni tudjanak. Ma már semmi sem állandó vagy prognosztizálható, mert a szervezetket a „3 V” erő (vevők, verseny, változás) hajtja. Az állandóan változó körülményekhez való gyors alkalmazkodás miatt a hagyományos funkciók alapján strukturált szervezetek helyett a vállalatoknak a folyamatszemléletű irányításra kell átállniuk. A korszerű folyamatmenedzsment eljárások alkalmazásával a szervezetek működése áttekinthetővé, elemezhetővé, mérhetővé és folyamatosan javíthatóvá tehető, továbbá hozzásegíti a vállalatokat, hogy növeljék a teljesítményüket és a szervezeti rugalmasságukat és csökkentsék a költségeiket is. Ezek mellett annak a felismerésében is segít, hogy az adott folyamatot mikor szükséges valamilyen hatásra megváltoztatni. Abban az esteben, ha a vállalatok jól megszervezett folyamatokat alakítanak ki, akkor rugalmasabban tudnak reagálni a piaci változásokra és a hatékonyabb működést teszi lehetővé, valamint egyszerűbb fejlesztési tevékenységet kivitelezni. Napjainkban a fejlődés, mint egy új keretrendszer elsősorban a digitalizációt állítja a középpontba, amely a vállalatok számára kihívást jelent és ezekhez alkalmazkodniuk kell, hogy a versenyben ne maradjanak alul. Ezek a kihívások sok szervezet életében radikális változtatásokat, átalakításokat igényelnek, amelyeket nehéz teljesíteni. A folyamatalapú vállalatvezetés kialakításával, viszont ezek a fejlesztések nem csak a multinacionális vállalatok dolgát könnyíthetik meg, hanem a kis- és közép vállalatok is adott esetben könnyeben el tudnak mozdulni a digitalizáció irányába, így nem csak a saját, hanem egy egész gazdaság fejlődését előidézhetik.

Parameter Estimation of Drag Coefficient and Rolling Resistance of Vehicles Based on GPS Speed Data
Authors: Szántó András , Hajdu Sándor
Published: May 2020

In this paper, a parameter estimation method of the model-based design approach is applied to estimate the drag coefficient and the rolling resistance coefficient of a vehicle. In fact, a constant-force parameter (c_const) and a velocity-square-force parameter (c_square) are in the vehicle model, and these result in the sum force applied along the translational DOF that models the vehicle. It is only an assumption that the constant force is the rolling resistance and the force proportional to the square of the velocity is the drag force of the air. Only GPS speed data is used for the estimation process. The conclusion is that parameter estimation is a good alternative when expensive measurement devices are not available to measure the force losses separately and directly.

Authors: Horváth Tibor , Szabó Tamás József , Marossy Kálmán
Published: May 2020

The Polylactic acid (PLA) is compostable and natural renewable sourced plastic type. Its mechanical properties quite similar to the PET, therefore the PLA is a good alternative for strongly ruled food industrial application. The PLA only has one critical attribute – the relatively low glass transition temperature. According to the relevant literature the glass transition of PLA is in the range of 40-70°C. In light of this fact, this material can be used only in that segments of food industrial field where the packaging process temperature are under of the lower limit of Tg range. The actual Tg of a material is highly depends on the molar mass and material structure, therefore the molar mass and the structure of material should be designed according to the future requirements of application and procedures.

Authors: Rackov Milan , Kuzmanović Siniša , Knežević Ivan , Čavić Maja , Penčić Marko
Published: May 2020

Geared reducers are mechanisms designed to reduce the number of revolutions using geared elements and nowadays they present one of the most commonly used types of mechanical transmissions in mechanical engineering. Due to the different shapes of geared elements, there are different types of geared transmissions: helical, bevel, worm, special and combined transmissions.  This paper analyses only helical geared transmissions, since there is a great extent of whole this matter. Helical transmissions are analysed only with external helical gearing, since internal geared pairs represent a special and very large group of gears. Within the external helical geared transmissions, only torque transmissions are analysed, while the transmissions of motion are not analysed and they represent another large group of transmissions. Only universal gear reducers with axial, or almost-axial, parallel shafts are considered (two-stage and three-stage transmissions). Although, single-stage gear reducer produced with parallel shafts are not considered by the paper in order to reduce the area of researching. Gear reducers are most commonly delivered to customer with electric motor, known as motor geared reducer, and they are studied here extensively. Gear reducer can be also delivered without motor, only with input shaft. The basic aim of this paper is to present all characteristics and specificities of motor geared reducer in one place.

College Students’ Trust in the Internet Information during the COVID-19 crisis and the Influences of Traceable Information Sources：A Cross-Sectional Survey (Preprint)
Authors: Chen Jiong , Wu Hong
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic began in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and is rapidly spreading worldwide with over 2.3 million cases as of May 2020. In China, the new generation has grown with the development of the Internet, and the way they receive information is different from others and exist specific characteristics. For example, college students are more susceptible to friends, especially those with a professional background. Their trust in information sources is generally low, which has been proved in prior studies. However, little is known about how to improve their trust in information sources, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak.

OBJECTIVE

This paper investigates the trust degree of college students to the Internet information on epidemic and the influences of demographic characteristics. And to explore, for college students, whether traceable information sources are more reliable than ordinary information sources.

METHODS

This study conducted an online questionnaire survey among college students via the professional survey website Wen Juan Xing (https://www.wjx.cn) and used the Likert score table to measure the trust score of seven different channels. By using the Rank-sum test and univariate regression, we investigate the difference between trust in peacetime and trust during epidemic situations, the effect of information sources, and impact factors of information trust.

RESULTS

In total, 466 respondents completed the survey with a total of 398 valid questionnaires were obtained, including 166 (41.7%) men and 232 (58.3%) women. Single-factor regression analysis proved that college students’ trust in epidemic information was related to whether they studied in Wuhan or majored in medicine or biology (p<.05).The results of Rank-sum test showed that the trust degree of college students to the Internet health information was lower than that of the normal period in the epidemic period (p<.01, Z<0). Another group of Rank-sum tests showed that for college students the information with traceable information source is more reliable than that with general information source (p<.01, Z<0).

CONCLUSIONS

This study found that during the outbreak of COVID-19, college students’ trust in online health information was lower than usual, and was related to whether they majored in the medicine-related fields or studied in Wuhan. At present, little research has examined how to improve the trust of information for people with a high academic background, and according to the research results. Our study fills this gap and found that the Internet information with a traceable information source can significantly increase college students’ trust, which provides the mass media or other information channels with options and considerations when faced with college-educated people such as college students who want to increase the credibility of their information.
Benzodiazepines, Codispensed Opioids, and Mortality among Patients Initiating Long-Term In-Center Hemodialysis
Authors: Muzaale Abimereki D. , Daubresse Matthew , Bae Sunjae , Chu Nadia M. , Lentine Krista L. , Segev Dorry L. , McAdams-DeMarco Mara
Published: May 2020

Background and objectives

Mortality from benzodiazepine/opioid interactions is a growing concern in light of the opioid epidemic. Patients on hemodialysis suffer from a high burden of physical/psychiatric conditions, which are treated with benzodiazepines, and they are three times more likely to be prescribed opioids than the general population. Therefore, we studied mortality risk associated with short- and long-acting benzodiazepines and their interaction with opioids among adults initiating hemodialysis.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

The cohort of 69,368 adults initiating hemodialysis (January 2013 to December 2014) was assembled by linking US Renal Data System records to Medicare claims. Medicare claims were used to identify dispensed benzodiazepines and opioids. Using adjusted Cox proportional hazards models, we estimated the mortality risk associated with benzodiazepines (time varying) and tested whether the benzodiazepine-related mortality risk differed by opioid codispensing.

Results

Within 1 year of hemodialysis initiation, 10,854 (16%) patients were dispensed a short-acting benzodiazepine, and 3262 (5%) patients were dispensed a long-acting benzodiazepine. Among those who were dispensed a benzodiazepine during follow-up, codispensing of opioids and short-acting benzodiazepines occurred among 3819 (26%) patients, and codispensing of opioids and long-acting benzodiazepines occurred among 1238 (8%) patients. Patients with an opioid prescription were more likely to be subsequently dispensed a short-acting benzodiazepine (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.59 to 1.74) or a long-acting benzodiazepine (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.20). Patients dispensed a short-acting benzodiazepine were at a 1.45-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.35 to 1.56) higher mortality risk compared with those without a short-acting benzodiazepine; among those with opioid codispensing, this risk was 1.90-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.65 to 2.18; P
interaction<0.001). In contrast, long-acting benzodiazepine dispensing was inversely associated with mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.84; 95% confidence interval, 0.72 to 0.99) compared with no dispensing of long-acting benzodiazepine; there was no differential risk by opioid dispensing (P
interaction=0.72).

Conclusions

Codispensing of opioids and short-acting benzodiazepines is common among patients on dialysis, and it is associated with higher risk of death.

Authors: Kaixi Yang
Published: May 2020

This paper mainly studies the relationship between traffic status and carbon emission, and the evaluation method of carbon emission based on traffic status. First of all, the traffic status is defined. In this paper, the traffic status is divided into traffic congestion and unobstructed traffic. Then, this paper analyzes the influence of different traffic conditions on carbon emissions in the same fleet at the same time through the study of vehicle exhaust emissions in both the unobstructed and congested traffic conditions. The unobstructed section traffic is used to simulate the unobstructed traffic state, and the intersection is used to simulate the traffic congestion. Finally, the two kinds of carbon emission data are compared to obtain the impact of traffic status on carbon emissions.

Moving from Integration to Participation? Notes on the Interrelationship between Communal and Associative Relationships
Authors: Faist Thomas , Ulbricht Christian
Published: May 2020

There are current trends in public and academic debates which point toward a wish of some analysts and observers to “de-culturalize” debates on international migration. In German debates, it is the term “integration” which has an alleged culturalizing effect and which therefore should be avoided and discarded as a concept of practice and as a concept of theory. In contrast to these positions we argue that there is a fundamental nexus between communal relations (Vergemeinschaftung or integration) and sociation (Vergesellschaftung). It is only by relating communal relations and sociation that we can understand the logics of important institutions such as citizenship and welfare states. Analytical concepts such as Vergemeinschaftung and Vergesellschaftung are necessary because they help us to account for fundamental changes. We find that in recent decades the meaning of integration connected to nationhood in public debates has changed from an ethno-cultural understanding to a republican one which is simultaneously characterized by increasing demands upon individuals who are conceptualized as autonomous persons (individualization).

The aim of this paper is to compare the respective approaches of Canada and Germany in statistically mapping population diversity and to offer possible explanations for the differences and commonalities observed. In order to investigate this, the paper takes into account the concept of ‘politics of belonging’ as a theoretical background and considers the functions of national statistics in categorizing different groups of people. There are different strategies of mapping population diversity and, inter alia, two models can be distinguished: while some countries explicitly include questions on elusive concepts of ‘origin’ in their population data collection, others refrain from doing so and instead derive different subgroups from information on citizenship and place of birth. Taking Canada as an example of the first group of countries and Germany of the second, and delineating recent changes within their respective strategies of measuring diversity within their populations, this paper argues that Canada and Germany converge towards a new pragmatism in the approaches of measuring diversity in population statistics.

Externalities of the EU Immigration and Asylum Policy: The Case of Ukraine
Authors: Zhyznomirska Lyubov
Published: May 2020

Since the 1990s, the EU has been gradually transferring to neighbouring countries parts of the burden of securing its internal order from illegal migrants, terrorists, criminal groups and other “threats.” It has done so using policy transfers and foreign relations mechanisms. The European Union, seeking to create an “area of freedom, security, and justice” in the region, exports the burden of migration management to its neighbouring countries and thus creates security threats – if not real then perceived – for these countries. The case of Ukraine demonstrates that EU policies of shifting the burden of international migration management to its neighbours can destabilize the societal security of countries that lack the experience and instruments to effectively deal with migration. Rather than shifting the burden of responsibility to the neighbouring states, the EU should prioritize co-operation and assistance to expand the area of freedom, justice and security on the European continent.

Marginal Stories? The Perspectives on Citizenship of Multiple Citizens and Multicultural Persons of Estonia
Authors: Kalev Leif , Ruutsoo Rein
Published: May 2020

This article focuses on practices of citizenship in Estonia by persons with multiple citizenship or multicultural background. In the previous stages of research on this topic primary attention was paid to national citizenship, multiple citizenship and European Union citizenship as institutions, as well as the role of citizenship in the construction of European space. Expected "configurations" of multiple citizenship as articulated in Marshallian (1992) terms, as well as linkages between different spaces of membership (national and not-national) of citizenship as perceived by the national decision makers, mapped both avenues and bottleneck s for the future. Our research raises questions and problems related to citizenship as both an essential tool of nation building and of EU integration (cf. Ruutsoo and Kal ev 2006, Ruutsoo and Kalev forthcoming).

La gouvernance de la sécurité au sein de l’UE : un nouveau défi pour le Canada
Authors: Lavallée Chantal
Published: May 2020

Since 1976, Canada and the EU developed and enlarged their relations including not only investment and trade, but also international security, environment, justice, culture, etc. During the last decade, the European Union progressively became an actor in the field of security and defence with the adoption of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). ESDP is entering in the logic outside of the traditional framework analysis that conceives security as a natural input, linked to territorial defence and assumed only by the State via military means. If ESDP entered in an intergovernmental logic, it is no longer the exclusive field of the Member States, but rather the result of interactions between a broad variety of public and private actors. In this new EU security governance, Canada is bound to face a major challenge, but it’s not sure that it is conscious of all the possibilities for its foreign and security policy!

The Role of Political Culture in Shaping Canadian, EU and US Disarmament Initiatives
Authors: Al-Fattal Rouba
Published: May 2020

Canada and the European Union (EU) share, to a certain extent, a similar political culture, one based on multilateralism and the use of soft power. Nevertheless, over the past fifteen years Canada has been sometimes adopting disarmament policies that are similar to those of the EU and different from those of the US, while in other times it has been adopting policies that are similar to those of the US and different from those of the EU. This indicates that similarity in political culture alone is not sufficient enough to create convergence on foreign policies and that certain conditions must first be met for political culture to take precedence over neorealist explanations when dealing with security issues. Using Canadian, EU and US decisions on the issues of anti-personnel landmines and Iranian nuclear proliferation dilemma as case studies, this article analyses the conditions under which political culture plays a role in forming similar security policies.

Accumulation by Any Means: Neoliberalisation and Environment in Post-Communist Europe
Authors: Peters Frederick
Published: May 2020

This paper explores water services restructuring in the post-communist Europe. The cases of the cities of St Petersburg, Russia and Tallinn, Estonia serve to trace changes in tone and timbre over the course of the post-communist transition to a market based economy. This paper is divided into two sections: we begin by placing the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in the context of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund–the International Financial Institutions significantly involved with infrastructure rebuilding. Section Two presents a brief look at specific cases of municipal water restructuring in the Baltic Region in postcommunist transition period, 1991 – 2006, brokered and funded in part by EBRD money. Tracing investments and the strategic partnerships formed in the region by the EBRD sheds light onto the development of IFI capacity and strategy since the early 1990s. The politics behind the notion described in shorthand with Harvey’s reworking of the Marxian ‘Primitive Accumulation’ is crucial to understanding the dynamics and trends often apparent in water infrastructure restructuring.

Cooperation and Isolation: Understanding EU-Russia Dialogue
Authors: Chebakova Anastasia
Published: May 2020

The promising agenda of EU-Russia cooperation has resulted in mutual frustration manifested in continuous, paradoxical crises and isolation between the partners. This article offers a possible way to reflect on an uneasy EU-Russia relationship. In this study, I make problems in EU-Russia cooperation discursively visible by scrutinizing the official speech acts articulated in EU-Russia political and security discourse. I demonstrate that these official speech acts create conditions for a responsive dialogue and, eventually, form a set of prevalent discursive practices that re-produce and reinforce problems in EU-Russia cooperation. Blending Bakhtin‟s dialogic analysis and Onuf‟s constructivist accounts, I strike a balance between theoretical and empirical analyses and develop a model for understanding current and possible future events in the EU-Russia partnership. This model of international cooperation can be transferable beyond its borders to similar examples of relationships currently existing all over the world.

Ethnic Conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh
Authors: Kuburas Melita
Published: May 2020

Twenty years since the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region first began, 610,000 people are still internally displaced in Azerbaijan, living in poverty and in wretched housing conditions. The causes of violence in the ongoing ethnic conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which began in the late 1980s and has since resulted in 30,000 deaths, can mainly be analyzed using a constructivist framework. However, elements of a primordialist approach to national identity were also used by mobilizers totrigger political and social uprisings. This paper presupposes that the constructivist theories on identity formation and territorial claims offer a better explanation as to why the war over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out in the 1990s, and why, in 2010, the two parties are no closer to a resolution and the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains in limbo.

Tribunes and Patricians: Fringe Parties in the 21st Century
Authors: Nedelcu Harry
Published: May 2020

The mid and late 2000s witnessed a proliferation of political parties in European party systems. Marxist, Libertarian, Pirate, and Animal parties, as well as radical-right and populist parties, have become part of an increasingly heterogeneous political spectrum generally dominated by the mainstream centre-left and centre-right. The question this article explores is what led to the surge of these parties during the first decade of the 21st century. While it is tempting to look at structural arguments or the recent late-2000s financial crisis to explain this proliferation, the emergence of these parties predates the debt-crisis and can not be described by structural shifts alone . This paper argues that the proliferation of new radical parties came about not only as a result of changes in the political space, but rather due to the very perceived presence and even strengthening of what Katz and Mair (1995) famously dubbed the "cartelization" of mainstream political parties.

Chinese university faculty members' visiting experience and professional growth in American universities
Authors: Hu Jie , Chen Kezheng , Liu Dongfang
Published: May 2020

We empirically investigated Chinese university faculty members' visiting experience and professional growth in American universities. The major data source was qualitative semistructured interviews with 30 Chinese faculty members in the arts, engineering, natural sciences, and social
sciences disciplines. The results showed that, despite challenges in preparation, language, and different academic cultures, Chinese visiting scholars were capable of navigating their host programs and achieving professional growth as they moved from peripheral to central participation in
their academic community. We also critically discussed how Chinese visiting scholars' academic experience in the United States can be improved, and cast light on the globalization of higher education.
Work–family conflict affects job insecurity: The mediating role of core self-evaluation
Authors: Dong Xuanru , Zhao Chaoyue , Yin Hang , Chen Guopeng
Published: May 2020

We investigated the impact of work–family conflict on job insecurity according to conservation of resources theory, and examined the mediating role of core self-evaluation in this relationship. In addition, we investigated if men and women show differences in their levels of work–family
conflict. Participants were 378 employees of a stateowned enterprise in China, and we analyzed the data using correlation analysis and the bootstrapping method. Results show that work–family conflict was positively correlated with job insecurity and negatively correlated with core self-evaluation,
with men experiencing greater work–family conflict than women did. Further, core self-evaluation was negatively correlated with job insecurity, and also mediated the relationship between work–family conflict and job insecurity. We have used conservation of resources theory to broaden
understanding of job insecurity. Suggestions are provided for ways managers can alleviate employees' job insecurity.
