Entropy Generation Analysis on MHD Flow with a Binary Mixture of Ethylene Glycol and Water Based Silver-Graphene Hybrid Nanoparticles in Automotive Cooling Systems
Authors: Reddy Seethi Reddy R. , Reddy Polu Bala Anki
Published: January 2022

The present work is focused on the flow and transfer of heat analysis of the silver-graphene with a binary mixture of ethylene glycol (EG) and water (0:100, 20:80 and 40:60 vol %) based hybrid nanofluids. Flow formulation is developed by considering the effect of magnetic field, stagnation point flow, Joule heating and viscous dissipation. Heat exchanger plays an important role because of the increasing demand for efficient cooling systems in automotive industries. Proper transforms lead to highly nonlinear differential systems, which are solved through shooting procedure with fourth order R-K (Runge-Kutta) method. The results of numerous control parameters for both silver-graphene nanoparticles are graphically shown and discussed in detail. The current numerical work is qualified through comparative study with the formerly published results for a special case. The heat transfer rate is higher with lower Ec values and higher ϕ1 and ϕ2 values.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. The purpose of the article is to determine the monetary processes peculiarities during the crisis period of economic development and areas of monetary policy adjustment. The article presents the results of the main monetary indicators of Ukraine for 2005—2020 dynamics regularities assessment. The cyclic nature of their dynamics with a cycle length of 12 months, an increase cyclical swing range and the level of «white noise» of random deviations from the cyclic dynamics line are confirmed. Entropy and entropy production are calculated for the main monetary indicators. The hypothesis that the monetary indicators dynamics uncertainty is determined by the uncertainty of the «white noise» of their random deviations from the lines of cyclic dynamics based on the calculation of the entropies of the dynamics and the dynamics of entropies is put forward and confirmed. Three groups of monetary indicators are formed according to the level of uncertainty in them. According to the research results, the monetary sphere of Ukraine dissipation was stated during the whole period of 2005—2020 with increase of its rates in time intervals, which preceded the crisis phenomena aggravation (07.2007—07.2008, 03.2013—01.2014, 01.2020—06.2020). The sources of uncertainty in the monetary sphere are identified: the amount of cash due to «cash — M0» with 5.4 months lag and the amount of cash due to «cash — M3» with 7.8 months lag. Based on the results of relations between monetary indicators analysis, the directions of monetary policy for overcoming the crisis phenomena in the monetary sphere of Ukraine are proposed. In particular, it is appropriate to change the restrictive monetary policy to an expansionary one, taking into account the lag of action in the relations between entropies / entropies production of the main monetary indicators.The obtained results can be of practical importance in the system of state regulation to stimulate monetary circulation not only in crisis but also in post-crisis periods, ensuring key monetary indicators long-term stability and monetary policy effectiveness improving.
Keywords: monetary indicators, monetary aggregates, uncertainty, entropy, entropy production, dissipation, regulation, monetary policy.

Анотація. Розроблено та обґрунтовано методичний інструментарій оцінювання ефективності діяльності банківських установ. Ураховуючи, що застосування методів оцінювання ефективності діяльності банку визначається суб’єктом оцінювання, споживачем інформації та метою оцінки, установлено доцільність використання таких груп показників: рентабельності діяльності, ефективності використання ресурсів банку, ефективності управління доходами і витратам, використання персоналу. Запропонований методичний підхід PRRЕL-оцінювання ефективності діяльності банківських установ передбачає розрахунок 15 відносних коефіцієнтів, які характеризують різні аспекти ефективності, з подальшим визначенням «сірих зон» на основі нормативних значень із урахуванням динаміки зміни показника, що враховується при визначенні бальної оцінки. За результатами бального шкалювання проведено градацію банків за рівнем ефективності діяльності банківської установи на чотири групи: критичний, середній, достатній і високий рівні.
Результати апробації методики PRRЕL укотре підтвердили хибність підходу до оцінювання ефективності діяльності за допомогою єдиного критерію — показника прибутку. Такий підхід зумовлює концептуальну і методичну обмеженість діагностики та виявлення проблем ефективності управління діяльністю банку. За результатами проведеного PRRЕL-оцінювання найвищий рівень ефективності діяльності визначено в банку, який отримав найнижчий за абсолютним показником прибуток у порівнянні з іншими досліджуваними установами. Використання запропонованої методики PRRЕL до оцінювання рівня ефективності діяльності банківських установ дозволяє обґрунтувати необхідність здійснення оперативного реагування на негативні зміни шляхом ухвалення управлінських рішень і розроблення комплексу дієвих регулятивних заходів для забезпечення стабільної та ефективної роботи банків. Перспективами подальших досліджень у цьому напрямі є визначення домінант забезпечення ефективності діяльності банку, а також порогових значень індикаторів її оцінювання, що дозволяють виявити слабкі місця в діяльності установи.
Ключові слова: банк, ефективність, рентабельність, рівень ефективності діяльності, скорингова модель, PRRЕL-оцінювання.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Man’s desire for self-development through knowledge of the world, the realization of his right to rest are manifested in tourism. The development of tourism is also facilitated by globalization and international integration, visa liberalization with individual countries, as well as international economic and political unions. An effective tool for minimizing risks in tourism is insurance. Despite the long period of forming, the market of travel insurance in Ukraine still does not meet international standards, occupies a small place in the system of insurance services. The purpose of this study is the analysis of concentration on the market of tourist services insurance in Ukraine. The state and tendencies of concentration in the market of travel insurance in Ukraine are analyzed. Lorentz’ concentration curves in the market of medical expenses insurance are constructed. It has been shown that insurance in the market of medical expenses is essential for the development of tourism in Ukraine, especially outbound. In this system of provided insurance services the quality of tourist services should come first, which can be achieved only under conditions of perfect competition, state regulation and implementation of international insurance standards. It has been established that during 2014—2020 there were processes of increasing the market power of insurance companies, an oligopoly is formed with four or six main players. It has been shown that the leaders of insurance in the market of tourist services are large insurance companies with foreign capital, operating at the international level. Their gradual concentration in recent years indicates the improvement of the institutional framework of tourist insurance, and the increase in insurance premiums and insurance payments indicates the restoration of confidence of Ukrainians in insurers.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. One of the current challenges on the Ukrainian agenda is how to improve managerial training system that could implement effective democratic reforms in various spheres of public life, and at the same time provide proper protection of the national interests of state. The research objective is to explore an assumption that active and not properly substantiated implementation of modern concepts and approaches in the field of public administration into the science and practice of state administration in Ukraine does not necessarily lead to positive consequences for democratic transformations of state administration, in particular managerial training in higher education system. In this study we distinguish the concept of «State Administration», which is now applicable for Ukraine, from «Public Administration», where the latter may be regarded as only partial equivalent if translating the former one. Based on the analysis of documents including laws, resolutions, orders, etc., as well as descriptive analysis of statistical data, the authors of this study trace the process of transformations of managerial training in higher education system of Ukraine and discuss possible future development scenarios of relevant subject area. An introduction of field of study and specialty «Public Administration» in Ukraine in 2015—2016 does not provide us an answer to question of what essentially constitutes «Public Administration», and what place in this area is occupied by theory and practice of the previously existing «State Administration». These findings let us suggest the most viable direction for development of managerial training in Ukraine is restoration, in accordance with procedure established by law, of field of study «State Administration». Lack of the statist component in training of specialists on specialty «Public Administration» will lead to misunderstanding by future managers of essence of institution in a sovereign state, as well as nature of «State Administration», its social impact, functions and role in regulating social development and economic processes, in particular ensuring safety of population.

Spillover Effect of American Monetary Policy on China After the Subprime Mortgage Crisis - Based on the Mundell-Fleming-Dornbusch Model
Authors: Jiewei Gu
Published: January 2022

This paper uses the Mundell-Fleming-Dornbusch model to theoretically analyze the spillover effects of the American monetary policy on China after the subprime mortgage crisis. The research finds that the traditional American monetary policy has little impact on its economic revival. The implementation of a quantitative easing policy affected China’s macroeconomic development, capital flow, and import and export trade through the channels of interest rate, exchange rate, and trade flow. In the empirical part, this paper constructs a vector autoregressive model using data between the second quarter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2019. Based on the stability test, the Granger causality test preliminarily carries out the solution that exchange rate, interest rate, and trade mechanism all prominently show the spillover effect of US monetary policy on China. So do the macroeconomic variables. Through impulse response, it is found that the spillover of US monetary policy will cause overheating and strong liquidity in China's economy. In the future, China needs to adopt a prudent monetary policy, actively adjust its industrial structure, strengthen international cooperation, and continuously increase its international competitiveness to resist external shocks.

Published: January 2022

Accounting has undergone many developments in line with efforts to adapt to the needs of stakeholders. This development can be seen from the introduction of sharia-based accounting principles with the emergence of many sharia transactions offered by sharia entities. This is the background for the birth of SAK Syariah which was ratified in 2007. With the development of studies on Islamic accounting in Indonesia, accountants are required to equip themselves with good knowledge of Islamic accounting. Therefore, this study aims to determine the Islamic accounting knowledge of young accountants in order to welcome Indonesia Golden era 2045 in terms of their knowledge of Islamic accounting. This research is a descriptive study using a quantitative approach with a survey method. The results found that the knowledge of sharia accounting possessed by young accountants was still considered less ready to contribute to realizing Indonesia Golden era 2045. It was also found that the factors that led to the lack of knowledge of sharia accounting experienced by young accountants namely: lack of literature, lack of practice-based learning, lack of educators who are experts in their fields, religious stereotypes, assumptions are the same as conventional accounting. Furthermore, this study suggests optimizing young accountants' understanding of Islamic accounting in addition to conventional accounting. This is beneficial for efforts to develop Islamic accounting in Indonesia and for Islamic institutions to be able to present financial reports correctly and adequately.
Ecological and geochemical state of soils and grounds of Moscow green spaces (analytical review)
Authors: Borisochkina T. I. , Kogut B. M. , Khamatnurov Sh. A.
Published: January 2022

The paper assesses the pollution of soils and grounds of green spaces in Moscow with heavy metals and de-icing agents. The analysis of literature sources indicates a decrease in integral pollution index of soils and grounds of green spaces in the city in recent years. The decrease in the integral pollution index is determined by the reduction of emissions from industrial enterprises and by the land reclamation with the replacement of the upper soil layer. At the same time, an observed increase in the lead concentrations in urban landscapes was caused by intensive automobile traffic. The lack of green territories was noted in central part of the metropolis, which is below the norm recommended by WHO (50 m2 of tree plantations per person). The processes of soil salinization and suppression of urban vegetation caused by the use of de-icing reagents are described. The literature data on the anthropogenic transformation of physical and chemical properties of soils and forms of heavy metal compounds in soils are presented. It is indicated that the study of these issues is promising for solving ecological-hygienic problems of the megalopolis. Soils of green spaces in Moscow are proposed to be divided into three groups, taking into account the genesis, ecological and geochemical state: 1) soils on artificial bulk ground of designed landscapes, 2) transformed soils with traces of past anthropogenic impact (postagrogenic soils, soils of post-settlement territories, 3) soils on the territories of parks, forest parks and forests, slightly affected by human activities and retaining the properties of natural zonal soils.
Teología ecológica
Authors: Mijangos Ricárdez Oscar Francisco , López-Luna Jaime
Published: January 2022

La teología y la ecología tienen algo en común, pues parten de criterios base como la pobreza, la miseria y la agresión continua a la Tierra. Además, ambas tienen un clamor: el grito de los pobres por la vida, la libertad y la dignidad. Dios habla de diversas formas a los corazones de los hombres, y utiliza medios para hacer notar su creación y valorar el cuidado de la madre Tierra. Estas dos disciplinas parecen no encontrarse en el camino del ser humano; sin embargo, es el conocimiento de la vida lo que nos permite resaltar el principio del amor y la verdad. Una voz clama en el desierto de la soledad, del consumismo, del mercado salvaje, no hay cabida al temor, pues el principio eterno ha hecho alianza con la comunidad de vida. El punto de encuentro es el caminar diario de las comunidades que tratan de conservar tradiciones, ritos y costumbres. Este trabajo presenta un panorama general del dolor y el sufrimiento de la madre Tierra y la esperanza que presenta el Dios de la vida en cada uno de nuestros corazones.
La industria cafetera en Colombia

Published: January 2022

En la actualidad, una de las problemáticas que atormenta al mundo es la contaminación, de forma que es pertinente transformar las industrias de producción, incluyendo la cafetera en Colombia, aunque en el país, el café se haya convertido en un ícono internacional por su amplia producción y la característica calidad que se le atribuye. Por otra parte, la consciencia social de este sector no se remite únicamente al aporte ecológico, sino a la solidaridad con una población marginada a causa de una historia de conflicto armado que invadió de violencia todo el territorio por más de cincuenta años. Afortunadamente, desde la firma de los acuerdos de paz en La Habana, este ambiente de guerra ha disminuido en busca de una paz basada en la justicia y la reconciliación, como es el caso de la integración de desmovilizados del conflicto armado en la industria cafetera. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el aporte y la consciencia social de la industria del café respecto a la iniciativa de paz y la disminución de la contaminación en Colombia, basados en un mensaje ético a partir del desarrollo del conflicto armado en el país, la integración en la industria cafetera de los desmovilizados y la ecoindustria cafetera en Colombia.
Analysing Intersecting Social Inequalities in Crisis Settings
Authors: Carter Becky
Published: January 2022

Analysis of intersecting social inequalities is key to effective, inclusive interventions in crisis settings. Gender equality and social inclusion analytical frameworks provide key research questions and participatory methodologies which seek to understand: Who is excluded? How are they excluded? Why are they excluded? What can be done to address this and support greater inclusion? There is a focus on underlying power dynamics, drivers of marginalisation, and entry points for external support. This rapid review presents a summary of relevant analytical frameworks and good practice for analysing intersecting social inequalities in crisis settings. The focus is on how to undertake contextual analysis of the vulnerabilities and needs of people in crises that are shaped by overlapping and compounding social inequalities, arising from discrimination based on gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression and sex characteristics, ethnicity and religion (among other identifiers). The review draws on and presents prior research that identified relevant analytical frameworks, learning and key resources on how to undertake this type of analysis, through a rapid literature search and input by key experts. It summarises a range of frameworks relevant for analysing intersecting social inequalities in crisis settings, developed for various development, humanitarian and peacebuilding objectives. It was harder to find published learning from undertaking this analysis that focuses specifically on crisis settings, but it was possible to draw findings from some individual case studies as well as relevant summaries of learning presented in the analytical frameworks and other guidance materials.

The banking world is inseparable from the aspect of capital. In running a business, capital is needed. Capital is a driving factor of various sectors of activity. In order for banks to develop healthily and be able to compete in international banking, bank capital must always follow the applicable international standards, which are determined by Banking For Internasional Sattlement (BIS) i.e. (CAR) by 8%. The purpose of this study is to review or analyze the Minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (KPPM) to the Risk Weighted Assets (ATMR) of BNI Syari'ah 2018. To find out the bank can meet its capital well or not with the risk constraints that may arise from the assets owned. The results showed that the BNI Syariah Capital Adequacy Ratio Percentage was 19.24% from the comparison of Capital and Reserves with Risk Weighted Assets (ATMR). In need of an increase in the Minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio (KPPM) in BNI Syariah banks so that the bank can fulfill all obligations or minimize losses from the risks that occur.

Long-term use of doxorubicin as cancer chemotherapeutic agent would cause tissue toxicity, including cardiotoxicity. Arcangelisia flava is suggested to have cardio protective effect. This study aimed to determine the effect of chloroform extract of A. flava leaves on cardio histopathology of doxorubicin-treated Wistar white male rats. Wistar male rats were divided into four groups (1) control group; (2) doxorubicin 7.5 mg/kgBW intraperitoneally twice (day 1 and 6); (3) doxorubicin + chloroform extract of A. flava leaves 250 mg/kgBW/day orally for 11 days; (4) Chloroform extract of A. flava leaves 250 mg/kgBW/day orallly for 11 days. At the 12th day, the rats were sacrificed; the heart organ was taken to make histopathological preparations and analyzed using HE staining. Vacuolization and necrosis are the parameters used in evaluating this effect. The phytochemical screening was also done to determine the compounds in chloroform extract of A. flava leaves. Based on the HE staining, chloroform extract of A. flava leaves decreased the cardiotoxicity caused by doxorubicin. The phytochemical screening showed that chloroform extract of A. flava leaves contains flavonoid, tannin, alkaloid, and triterpenoid. The cardioprotective effect of chloroform extract of A. flava leaves was suggested to be contributed by the flavonoid, tannin, and triterpenoid.
Digitalization and change in the global division of labor
Authors: Krzywdzinski Martin
Published: January 2022

The contribution discusses the impact of digitalization approaches in industrial companies and their implications for the global division of labour and work. It proceeds by investigating the scope and character of automation and its impact on the relationship between production locations in high and low wage countries. Contrary to expectations frequently voiced in public discourse the author does not identify a major push in automation in manufacturing industries (that would make a reshoring of production viable), because digitalization strategies rather concern new paths of flexibilization than automation. The effects on the geographies of production of technological change, however, result in new strategies of specialization and modifications of industrial governance, namely a refined division of labour between innovation-intensive production sites and their counterparts in the periphery.

Considerations before the application of 5-hydroxymethylation levels of long non-coding RNAs for non-invasive cancer diagnosis
Authors: Zhang Zhou , Zeng Chang , Zhang Wei
Published: January 2022

Previous studies have suggested that aberrant 5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC) modifications are related to cancer pathobiology. Genome-wide profiling 5hmC in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) using the highly sensitive chemical labeling-based 5hmC-Seal technique has been demonstrated to have the potential to be a robust epigenomic tool for cancer biomarker discovery. Prior studies have mostly focused on cfDNA-derived 5hmC-Seal data summarized in well-annotated genic features (e.g., gene bodies) or unbiased bins. Zhou et al. recently proposed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as an alternative molecular target for biomarker discovery using publicly available 5hmC-Seal data. Considering its potential clinical impact, we would like to comment on Zhou et al. and advocate more serious consideration of critical issues such as the availability of clinical information and technical variables, especially when performing secondary analysis using publicly available data, with the aim of improving data transparency and translatability.

Published: January 2022

Genomic aberrations comprise hallmarks of multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell malignancy with an overall poor prognosis. MM is heterogeneous and has different molecularly-defined subtypes according to varying clinical and pathological features. Hyperdiploidy or non-hyperdiploidy has usually been identified as early initiating genetic events that can be followed by secondary aberrations, including copy number changes, secondary translocations, and different epigenetic modifications, which cause immortalization of plasma cell and disease progression. Even though recent advances in drug discovery have offered new perspectives of treatment, MM remains incurable. However, understanding the molecular complexity of MM would allow patients to get precision treatment. Our review focuses on current evidence in myeloma biology with special attention to genomic and molecular variations.
Fault-Tolerant Detection Systems on the King's Grid
Authors: Jean Devin , Seo Suk
Published: January 2022

A detection system, modeled in a graph, uses "detectors" on a subset of vertices to uniquely identify an "intruder" at any vertex. We consider two types of detection systems: open-locating-dominating (OLD) sets and identifying codes (ICs). An OLD set gives each vertex a unique, non-empty open neighborhood of detectors, while an IC provides a unique, non-empty closed neighborhood of detectors. We explore their fault-tolerant variants: redundant OLD (RED:OLD) sets and redundant ICs (RED:ICs), which ensure that removing/disabling at most one detector guarantees the properties of OLD sets and ICs, respectively. This paper focuses on constructing optimal RED:OLD sets and RED:ICs on the infinite king's grid, and presents the proof for the bounds on their minimum densities; [3/10, 1/3] for RED:OLD sets and [3/11, 1/3] for RED:ICs.
Assessment of Sponge City Flood Control Capacity According to Rainfall Pattern Using a Numerical Model After Multi-source Validation

Published: January 2022

Urban floods are typical urban disasters that threaten the economy and development of cities. Sponge cities can improve the flood resistance ability and reduce the floods by setting low-impact development measures (LID). Evaluating the floods reduction benefits is the basic link in the construction of sponge cities. Therefore, it is of great significance to evaluate the benefits of sponge cities from the perspective of different rain patterns. In this study, we investigated the urban runoff of various rainfall patterns in Mianyang city using the Strom Water Management Model (SWMM). We employed 2–100-year return periods and three different temporal rainfall downscaling methods to evaluate rain patterns and simulate urban runoff in Mianyang, with and without the implementation of sponge city measures. After calibration, model performance was validated using multi-source data concerning flood peaks and inter-annual variations in flood magnitude. Notably, the effects of peak rainfall patterns on historical floods were generally greater than the effects of synthetic rainfalls generated by temporal downscaling. Compared to the rainfall patterns of historical flood events, the flood protection capacities of sponge cities tended to be overestimated when using the synthetic rainfall patterns generated by temporal downscaling. Overall, an earlier flood peak was associated with better flood sponge city protection capacity.
