Sensitivity of Input Parameter on CNOSSOS-EU Road Emission Levels
Authors: Phillips Jonathan , Shilton Simon , Trow James
Published: February 2023

The United Kingdom Department for Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) commissioned a series of studies investigating the sensitivity of the CNOSSOS-EU noise assessment method. CNOSSOS-EU presents challenges in terms of input data accuracy and availability. For this reason, the studies were
commissioned to support data decision making and quantify potential uncertainty in Defra's national noise model. The quality framework set out in Directive 996/2014 requires uncertainty in road emission levels at source to correspond to an uncertainty of ±2dB(A). By calculating emissions
across a range of values for input parameter within various scenarios in which all other parameters were kept constant, changes in road traffic noise emissions were observed. This was performed separately for each of the five CNOSSOS-EU vehicle categories as well as for a selection of hypothetical
composite road traffic flows. A similar analysis was then performed for a series of road surface types. The results were used to indicate which input parameters road traffic noise emissions were most sensitive to. The results identified that uncertainty in traffic flow speed has a tolerance
of ±11 kmh-1 for cars and two-wheelers, and ±24 kmh-1 for HGVs in order to meet the quality framework. Significant variation in emissions were found across surface types, indicating the importance of obtaining representative road surface data. The study found that traffic volumes
should be within 60% of their true value. The effect of road gradient was found to be dependent on flow composition and speed. Road traffic noise emissions were found to be insensitive to changes in air temperature. Composite flow analysis using English traffic statistics with various proportions
of HGVs showed that these assumptions become more important on lower speed roads, while the proportion of two-wheelers is relatively insignificant with respect to overall noise emissions.
Using Non-wave based modelling to explore how much acoustic diffusion is too much in a concert hall.
Authors: Fort Michael
Published: February 2023

This paper explores the relationship between acoustic surface diffusion and acoustical character in concert halls by using non-waved based modelling. Measurements were undertaken in a small concert hall to use as a baseline, which is then transferred into ODEON to experiment with the
acoustic parameters further. Using the ODEON modelling results, the relationship between amount of diffusion vs scattering coefficient to achieve optimal objective parameters in a concert hall according were visualised. These trends were then tested on existing famous concert hall models,
e.g. Musikvereinssaal. The experiments showed that when considering how much diffusion is too much in a concert hall, the statistical amount of diffusion is less of a factor, when compared to retaining strong early reflections from side walls and ceilings and the amount of scattering provided
by diffuse surfaces. For example, a hall with a high amount of diffusion, can still be a subjectively "good" hall, if it still has strong early reflections on the side walls and ceilings when compared to a hall with geometry that does not provide strong lateral reflections.
Broadband noise attenuation in the flow duct using metamaterial-based acoustic liners
Authors: Guo Jingwen , Qu Renhao , Fang Yi , Zhong Siyang , Zhang Xin
Published: February 2023

An acoustic liner design based on metamaterial is proposed for broadband duct noise reduction. The material is constructed by four periodically arranged partitions-embedded units covered by a perforated plate, forming a linear reflected phase-shifting within 0 to 2π in a wide target
frequency range. The sound absorption performance under normal incident waves is firstly examined by both numerical simulation and impedance tube measurement, leading to close agreement to the target design. Then, the meta-liner is installed in a flow tube to assess its capability of reducing
broadband noise in a duct with aerodynamic flows. The experiments investigations are performed in an advanced grazing flow tube developed at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The effect of sound levels (ranging from 120dB to 140dB), flow speeds with the Mach number up to
0.3, and the position of sound source (at upstream and downstream sides of meta-liner) are investigated. Results show that a nearly flat transmission loss is achieved in the target frequency range by the metamaterial-based acoustic liner in various conditions, showing its potential for practical
industrial applications.

The United Kingdom Department for Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) commissioned a series of studies investigating the sensitivity of the CNOSSOS-EU noise assessment method. CNOSSOS-EU presents challenges in terms of input data accuracy and availability. For this reason, the studies were
commissioned to support data decision making and quantify potential uncertainty in Defra's national noise model. A study was undertaken to identify approaches to quantifying the effect of favourable propagation (FP) when calculating noise levels using the CNOSSOS-EU noise assessment methodology.
Literature reviews allowed the identification of two methodologies for quantifying the occurrence of FP, and their respective data requirements. Data requirements were reviewed against data available from meteorology stations across UK and a method selected. FP was calculated for met sites
in England and presented in tables and in the form of meteorological roses. Analysis was then undertaken exploring the effect of including of FP on sound propagation using CNOSSOS-EU using a test model. Comparisons were then made against assuming 100% favourable and 100% homogeneous conditions
to identify the importance of calculating the occurrence of FP in noise exposure data.
Project STEER: Improving the EU Tyre Noise Label and its impact on European Roads
Authors: Schlatter Felix , Sandberg Ulf , Berge Truls , Goubert Luc , Bühlmann Erik
Published: February 2023

Tyre/road noise is the dominant component of overall vehicle noise at medium and high speeds and for cars even at low speeds. Consequently, road traffic noise can be reduced with the proliferation of quieter tyres. One way to achieve this is to give the tyre noise label greater attention
among tyre and transportation consumers. Hence, the STEER project has evaluated the relevance and performance of the noise part of the European tyre label, looking at how it works in practice, analyzing its uncertainties and suggesting how it can be improved. Its main finding is that the uncertainties
in the measurement of noise level for the label are too high to be acceptable. This paper focusses on the solutions offered by STEER for an improved tyre label. With four main improvements, the overall uncertainty of the current procedure can be halved. A few possible future strategies to
increase the market share of quieter tyres have been analyzed and their effects quantified. If the tyre noise label is improved and the market share of quieter tyres can be increased as project STEER proposes, area-wide reductions of up to 3 dB in road traffic noise emissions compared to the
present situation are possible.
Quantifying Carbon in Airspace Noise Management Measures
Authors: Di Stefano Pierangelo , Trow James , Vinci Davide
Published: February 2023

Aviation is subject to increasing environmental scrutiny. This can often be compounded by a poor understanding of environmental and operational interdependencies. Aircraft noise and carbon whilst being environmental emission that the aviation sector is working to reduce, can often be
subject to separate policies and regulations. Although carbon emissions are one of the main contributors to environmental impacts at a global level, other environmental impacts, such as noise, result in more localised impacts to the natural environment and communities. This paper presents
analysis that quantifying the potential carbon consequences of various airspace noise management measures. This has been possible through processes developed to describe the interrelations between fuel burn, consequential carbon and noise emissions of various noise abatement procedures. Using
this process, the overall environmental performance of various noise management measures are considered. This analysis has identified noise management measures which are beneficial with respect to noise and carbon emissions, however others have been identified which could increase carbon.

Authors: Lissåker Claudia , Albin Maria , Bodin Theo , Sjöström Mattias , Selander Jenny
Published: February 2023

Objective: To explore the association between occupational noise exposure and myocardial infarction (MI) one year later. Methods: Data came from the SNOW cohort, comprised of all individuals born between 1930 and 1990 in Sweden, with demographic, occupational, and outcome data available
from 1960 until 2017. In this study, we included working individuals with at least one occupational code between 1985 and 2013. These were matched to a job exposure matrix (JEM) in five categories (LAeq8h): <70, 70-74, 75-80, 80-85, >85 dB(A). MI status in the year following exposure
was ascertained using the patient register. To account for time-varying occupational data, we utilized a discrete-time proportional hazards model adjusted for individual confounders and other occupational exposures. Results: Preliminary results show that exposure to over 75 dB(A) of occupational
is associated with a 13-21% increased risk for MI one year later. After adjusting for psychosocial work exposures, physical workload, exposure to vibrations, and chemical and particle exposure, noise exposure was no longer associated with an increased risk for MI. Conclusion: Exposure to noise
was not associated with an increased risk for MI one year later after adjusting for other work exposures among this younger, working population. Additional in-depth analyses are ongoing.
Regulation of nightlife noise in Paris: the contribution of innovative monitoring and perspectives
Authors: Bernfeld David , Revol Cécile , Mietlicki Fanny
Published: February 2023

Recreational noise generated by nightlife in urban areas is a particularly delicate issue, as the complex nature of the noise sources involved (music, human voices, traffic...) makes it complicated to grasp from a technical point of view. It is also difficult to regulate since there
is a highly subjective aspect to the perception of such noise. Bruitparif has been involved in the observation of this type of noise in the most attractive areas of Paris since 2016. More than 40 " Medusa " sensors making it possible to identify the dominant source of the noise have
been deployed in areas where nightlife noise is reported to be problematic by the local residents. This outdoor acoustic monitoring allows an analysis of the sound levels generated by customers of festive establishments or gatherings of people in public spaces, and provides objective data
support that can then serve as a reference for discussions between the various stakeholders. Measurement data coupled with modelling development is essential for the proper consideration of this problem, which is more than a simple nuisance. Indeed, it probably has important consequences for
the health of inhabitants given that noise occurs during periods that are particularly critical for sleep quality.

Published: February 2023

This paper contributes on the popular topic of smartphone-based noise mapping and in general participatory sensing. It has a dual aim as on one hand it provides a methodological framework on the spatio-temporal variability of noise and soundscape and in parallel, it investigates the
role of green space and water features on soundscape preference with respect to certain activities. The study was organised in Zernike University Campus in Groningen, the Netherlands around 13 predefined locations, equipped with seating facilities. A big part of the study area was recently
redesigned as part of the Zernike promenade. Students, enrolled in the course of Environment and Engineering, used the ArcGIS 123 Survey and the NoiseCapture mobile applications for soundscape and noise data collection respectively. Statistical analysis and GIS tools were used to investigate
the noise and soundscape variability in different time periods from morning to evening. Additionally, the effect of green space and water features on soundscape quality and users' preference is identified by exploring the links with activities related to socializing and relaxing. The contribution
of the above-mentioned technologies in participatory planning and urban design interventions is discussed parallel to the educational benefit of these tools in the achievement of the course learning objectives.

Published: February 2023

In response to COVID-19 global pandemic, the University of Sharjah (UAE) implemented a flexible hybrid teaching approach where the capacity of the classrooms is reduced to 50% and installed additional audiovisual equipment to support the hybrid teaching model. The aim of this study
is to assess the acoustic parameters in the hybrid classrooms with focus on reverberation time, sound clarity (C50) and strength (G). Measurements were taken in six different classrooms using sound analyzer and ROOM EQ Wizard software in accordance to the guidelines set by ISO 3382. In addition,
we compared the experimental data with that obtained from Sabine's diffuse field theory and from a model developed by E. Nilsson, which considers the absorption in classrooms to be mainly due to the absorbing ceilings. Reverberation times results show that Leq (dBA) to vary from 43.0 - 50.9
dBA for acoustically untreated classroom, and 32.3 for classrooms with the air condition off. Results obtained from the theoretical model showed the same overall behavior over the investigated frequency range. Sound clarity and strength measurements indicated that the acoustic conditions in
hybrid classrooms do not satisfy the international standards with the exception of one classroom, which was acoustically treated.

Published: February 2023

The applicability of the in-situ measurement method for sound absorption characteristics of materials using the ensemble averaging technique, i.e. EA method, is examined. A series of in-situ measurement are conducted at two gymnasiums located in Oita-city, Japan. Two kinds of building
materials are measured: one is a small sized glass-wool panel which is brought around from one gymnasium to the other; and the others are building materials installed on the floors/walls of each gymnasium. The glass-wool panel has the dimensions of 0.5 m by 0.5 m by 0.05 m and with the density
of 32 kg m^(-3). Several measurements are conducted during badminton plays are undergoing. Measured sound absorption coefficients of the glass-wool panel revealed that most results agree well with those measured in reverberation rooms and that measured values of floors and walls show acceptable
consistencies.
Low frequency attenuation of acoustic waves using sound-soft scatterers
Authors: Dell Alexander , Krynkin Anton , Horoshenkov Kirill , Sailor Gavin
Published: February 2023

The attenuation of acoustic waves by silencers is typically achieved through the employment of rigidly backed cavities, connected to a main waveguide by a perforated panel. This invokes a resonant response at frequencies determined by the dimensions of the perforation and the rigidly
backed cavity. A limiting factor in this approach is that to achieve low frequency attenuation, either large cavity depths are required, which is often impractical, or narrow neck regions need to be used, where performance is limited due to the viscothermal losses. Within this paper, a non-rigidly
backed perforated pipe is presented where the pressure release condition at each perforation creates an acoustic sound-soft boundary condition. By the introduction of sound-soft boundary conditions, a low frequency band gap is created as the first order mode is shifted to a non-zero value,
the frequency of which is determined by the dimensions and separation of the perforations. Experimental results displaying this band gap are presented along with numerical models verifying the phenomenon and an ideal analytical model based upon the transfer matrix method.

In this paper is developed and applied a thermo-biomechanical virtual manikin used in transient systems. This numerical model, under transient conditions, is applied in the thermal and vibrations of the different sections of the human body. The thermal numerical model, based in energy
and mass balance integral equations, considers the first order equations systems, while the vibration numerical model, based in Newton equation, considers the second order equations systems converted in first order equation system. The resolution of the numerical model is made through the
Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with error control. The thermal numerical model is used in the study of the periodical and randomized airflow fluctuations applied to the human body section and the biomechanical numerical model is used in the study of the periodical and randomized vibrations applied
to the feet, that a standing person is subjected. The signals of the stimuli, the power spectrum, the equivalent frequencies and the Draught Risk (DR) of the same signals will be presented. In accordance with the obtained results, is verified that: in the thermal component the DR is evaluated
and in the vibration component the body structure reduces the power spectra energy frequency and the equivalent frequency analysis.
Investigation of potential benefits and functionality of a vibroacoustic camera by combining results of a common beamforming and nearfield holography acoustic camera and a highspeed camera, allowing to visualize structural vibration (optical flow tracking
Authors: Pehe Johannes , Döbler Dirk , Herfert Daniel , Puhle Christof
Published: February 2023

In this paper potential benefits and functionality of a vibroacoustic camera are investigated by combining results of a common beamforming and nearfield holography acoustic camera using the software NoiseImage and a highspeed camera, allowing to visualize structural vibration (optical
flow tracking) using the software WaveImage. Both results can be used to calculate color maps - mapped parameters are sound pressure, vibration displacement and its derivatives. The authors will investigate how the combination of methods might enhance understanding and interpretation of the
vibroacoustic behavior of specimens in the overlapping frequency range. At low frequencies, the beamforming approach is limited due to main lobe width and array size. While the limits for source localization can be offset employing nearfield acoustic holography, those methods can be time consuming
and might fail for complex 3-dimensional structures. It was also previously shown that mode shapes of 2-dimensional structures can be reproduced using nearfield acoustic holography (SONAH). The highspeed camera results present a way to provide positions of local vibration maxima and operating
deflection shapes without accessing the acoustic nearfield. Accordingly, the approach could be viewed as a potential extension of the frequency range in which meaningful visualization of vibroacoustic data can be achieved from a single far field measurement from 0 Hz to the ultrasound frequency
regime.
anta e o valentão
Authors: Werner Christian
Published: February 2023

Primeiras estórias é um volume de contos de J. Guimarães Rosa (1962), alguns deles usando de maneira empenhada a tradição clássica. “Famigerado”, por exemplo, evoca o episódio de Polifemo no canto 9 da Odisseia. O conto que eu discuto é “Fatalidade”, que envolve a Ilíada, especialmente o duelo entre Heitor e Aquiles. Ele conta a história de um estranho, o frágil José de Tal, de apelido Zé Centeralfe (trocadilho com center-half), que chega à casa do delegado local, nomeado Meu Amigo pelo narrador. Zé pede ajuda à autoridade para resolver seus problemas com o valentão Herculinão, o qual não para de importunar a esposa de Zé. O casal mudou duas vezes de povoado e acaba na cidade do delegado, o qual, durante boa parte desse curto conto, sugere por alguns modos não-verbais que José deveria matar o valentão. Mas, diferente de The man who shot Liberty Valance, duas são as armas que, quase ao fim, matam o valentão, a de Zé e a do Delegado, ambas disparadas virtualmente ao mesmo tempo. Imediatamente antes de Zé deixar a casa do delegado, este refere-se àquele como “nosso necessitado Aquiles”, explicitando a referência potencial à Ilíada, confirmada pelo papel que o delegado tem no tiroteio final como Atena. Mas ele também evoca Zeus na forma como fala sobre o destino. Os críticos divergem sobre o ponto de vista do narrador (cinismo? condenação crítica), todavia, para leitores que estabelecem o paralelo com a Ilíada (Aquiles perde Pátroclo por meio de seu próprio erro), a perda de José – ele perde sua tênue esperança na eficácia de uma lei impessoal – é evidenciada. Não há lugar para a tática da anta – esconder-se, mesmo que você seja grande – nem para um valentão. Ao mesmo tempo, Rosa talvez convide seus leitores a comparar o conto a seu grande épico Grande sertão: veredas ou reavaliá-lo à luz da sua obra posterior, contos gradualmente menores e mais elusivos.
Pengaruh Tegangan Eksitasi Terhadap output Tegangan Generator Sinkron 3 Fasa 6,3kV
Authors: Eko Pambudi Prastyono , Suyanto* Muhammad , Septa Yogaswara Dio
Published: February 2023

Synchronous generators work by changing mechanical energy into 1 and 3 phase electrical energy. Reactive power is needed by consumers to generate magnetic fields in inductive electrical loads. The reactive power setting can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the excitation current. Excitation current is a DC electric current that is supplied to the generator rotor to generate a magnetic field. The excitation current is proportional to the reactive power released by the generator. This is indicated by the increase in the reactive power of the generator which was initially valued at 0.6999 MVAR to 0.7655VAR after the excitation current was increased from 0.130 kA to 0.140 kA. The data used is measurement data per day from July 1 to July 14, 2022. Calculation of reactive power using the power triangle formula has results that are close to the values of reactive power measured by the largest difference of 0.0198 MVAR or 2.8637547%. The reactive power is all positive so the state of the generator is lagging. The output voltage tends to be stable near the nominal voltage of 6.3 kV, this is because the increase and decrease in excitation is intended to keep the generator output voltage stable.

Published: February 2023

This study intends to provide light on the favourable benefits of microfinance on a variety of social and economic outcomes, such as poverty reduction, job creation, economic independence for women, and long-term societal advancement. By enhancing the availability of financial and non-financial services to MSEs, we can increase their impact on the national economy. Microcredit programmes administered by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have effectively reduced poverty in developing nations by providing loans with low-interest rates and minimal requirements for collateral. This study’s methodology is based on a discussion and a review of prior research. However, the study’s primary finding demonstrates that microfinance is critically essential. However, it confronts other obstacles that could restrict its contribution to long-term growth and monetary inclusion.
The Views of Teacher Candidates about Unemployment and Employment
Authors: Ulutaş Birgül , Saklan Emine
Published: February 2023

This study aims to reveal the opinions of teacher candidates on unemployment, which has been observed more seriously among the young in the society recently, the provision of employment to the individuals in the society, and the links between unemployment and the Turkish education system. In this study, which was designed as qualitative research, it was tried to put forward the anxiety, opinions and solution suggestions of the candidate teachers who are fourth-year students in Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University and Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Education Faculties about unemployment. In the study, in the approaches of teacher candidates to the concept of unemployment, they perceived unemployment as not being able to find a job or being sentenced to a job that was not suitable for its quality; the candidate teachers were observed to explain unemployment through definitions such as disrepute, seeing no respect in society, living in need of others, being left behind in the struggle for survival. It is seen that participants find the vocational guidance in the education system insufficient and unplanned, and they focus on solutions to increase the quality of education, not to increase the duration of education and the number of educational institutions as a suggestion to create employment. It has been stated that the Turkish education system should be saved from its competitive and rote structure that does not respond to the subjective needs of individuals, that teacher training institutions should be removed from their theoretical, multiple-choice examination-oriented structure, and a qualified teacher training system that gives more space to practise should be established.
Blending Learning: Towards Transforming Indian Higher Education
Authors: Nawale Arvind M.
Published: February 2023

“Blending Learning (BL) has advanced from an experimental novelty to a nearly common teaching-learning approach in academia recently. The Covid-19 pandemic has encouraged the global use of blended learning approaches. It is a novel method that blends traditional and modern teaching-learning paradigms and is becoming more popular, providing value to the learning environment by incorporating technology. It not only changes the way information is delivered, but it also redefines the old roles of education and opens new vistas of learning opportunities. Various universities, colleges, and other educational institutions across the world are establishing deliberate strategies for employing blended learning. Blended learning environments have been shown to outperform traditional classroom education, but they do not prove to be superior, till date. This paper seeks to investigate this paradox and recommends that the government, authorities, instructors as well as students must establish an engaged, collaborative, technologically advanced and supportive teaching-learning environment of global competence in order to fully realize the potential of BL.

However, to keep and attract more passengers, public transport must have high service quality to satisfy and fulfil a wide range of different customer’s needs. The purpose of the study is to examine the influencing factors measuring customers’ satisfaction, especially the impact of the factors on customers’ satisfaction with public transportation in Wolaita Sodo Town of SNNPR. The data was gathered through a structured questionnaire from the public transport commuters. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 385 randomly selected public transportation passengers in Wolaita Sodo Bus Terminal, Wolaita Zone. Descriptive and Inferential statistics to analyze the data using SPSS version 22. Under Inferential statistics, multiple regression analysis was used to identify the relationships between factors influencing customer satisfaction and commuters’ satisfaction. The results showed that the Fare system has the highest impact on customer satisfaction, followed by Transport comfort, Services provided and Scheduled timings. Three other factors, namely accessibility, Availability of facilities and Terminal environment, were insignificant to customer satisfaction. The analysis of the variance of demographic variables on customer satisfaction with public transport showed that gender, Age, and marital status were statistically insignificant in predicting customer satisfaction. In contrast, Religion, income level, and travelling frequency were statistically significant in predicting customer satisfaction. A flexible and affordable fare rate system should be encouraged and implemented for all routes at different distances to make the service more affordable, satisfy customers’ requirements, and be competent and profitable for the enterprise.

Günümüzde istenilen konfor bölgelerine ulaşmak için evleri, işyerleri ve marketleri ısıtmanın farklı yolları bulunmaktadır. Isıtma sistemlerinin çoğu fosil yakıtlı sistemler kullanmaktadır. Yanmalı ısıtıcılar çevreye önemli miktarda karbondioksit yaymaktadır. Isı pompaları çevreye zarar vermedikleri, verimli ve çoğu zaman ekonomik oldukları için uygun sistemlerdir. Bu çalışmada Denizli’de TS825 standartlarına göre tasarlanmış üç katlı bir villada ısı pompası sisteminin kullanımı incelenmiştir. Isı pompası sistemi verimlilik, ekonomiklik ve CO2 emisyonları açısından diğer ısıtma sistemleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Villanın modellenmesi, ısı yüklerinin hesaplanması ve uygun ısı pompasının seçimi Daikin tarafından geliştirilen “Daikin Stand By Me” programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Simülasyon sonuçları, ısı pompasından kaynaklanan CO2 emisyonunun, doğal gazla çalışan sistemlerden kaynaklanan emisyonlardan 2,28 kat ve sıvı yakıtla çalışan sistemlerden 3,04 kat daha az olduğunu göstermektedir. Isı pompası sisteminin SCOP değeri 4,46 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Isı pompası sistemi çok verimli olmasına ve yüksek bir SCOP değerine sahip olmasına rağmen, elektrik fiyatlarının yüksek olmasından dolayı ısı pompası sistemi ekonomik görünmemektedir.
Gitanos en Buenos Aires: migración e identidad cultural
Authors: Lagunas David
Published: February 2023

La tentativa de este texto es explorar la identidad cultural de los Gitanos de Buenos Aires a partir de varias dimensiones clave. Esta identidad es la vida misma de los Calós, el amor a su tiempo y a su espacio, y su respeto a los antepasados y no suele expresarse explícita sino implícitamente y está conectada con lo que otros autores han definido como la construcción del sentido propio y el establecimiento de la presencia gitana en el mundo. Muestra cómo esta migración a Argentina creó un espacio abierto para la inclusión social y la modernización. Y se aborda tentativamente la reproducción familiar y económica como dimensiones clave del sistema histórico y antropológico Caló.
A cor como signo: fundamentos para uma abordagem semiótica das cores no design
Authors: Pereira Carla
Published: February 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo expor um referencial teórico que permita apoiar futuras discussões e investigações sobre a função sígnica que a cor assume em diferentes sistemas de significação, particularmente no design. Por meio de revisão narrativa de literatura, conceitos da semiótica são sintetizados e utilizados para demonstrar princípios gerais que regem a linguagem das cores, considerada como um sistema de signos. Com foco na dimensão semântica, são discutidos os atributos da cor (matiz, claridade e croma) que funcionam como unidades significantes, assim como suas relações e significados observados em estudos da cor na cultura. Por fim, são evidenciadas as oposições cromáticas (claro/escuro, quente/frio, cromático/acromático e alto croma/baixo croma) consideradas determinantes para a formação do significado.

A identidade de um campo de pesquisa pode ser vista na análise de seus elementos constituintes. Logo, a investigação de padrões existentes nas publicações de maior relevância de um dado campo revela não só sua trajetória histórica, mas também auxilia a orientar seus rumos futuros. Este artigo apresenta uma investigação de ordem bibliométrica-categorial das revistas Estudos em Design e Design Tecnologia onde se categorizou o acervo online das mesmas com base na taxonomia da pesquisa em design proposta por Nigel Cross em 1984. Os resultados apontam para uma identidade própria da pesquisa em design no Brasil, marcada por grande ênfase em fenomenologia, e significativa diversidade de autores contribuintes. Espera-se que os achados obtidos possam servir como base inicial para a visualização e refino de um quadro-perfil da pesquisa em design nacional, também assistindo em fornecer uma melhor compreensão das características das publicações analisadas

Today the group of companies “Arnika”, Hlobyne town, Poltava region, is one of the largest companies in Ukraine and in the world that grows agricultural crops using organic farming technologies.

It is clear that in the transition from classical technologies to organic production there were a number of problems to solve which had to use both existing experience and new research. One of the branches of agriculture in Ukraine, which best meets the requirements of organic farming, is hemp growing. The biological properties of the crop play an important role in this matter, namely that they require almost no chemical protection against pests and diseases.

The scope of raw materials from hemp is significantly expanding. Besides the traditional use in light, construction, pulp and paper, automotive and aircraft, chemical industries, hemp products began to be used for the manufacture of medicines, perfumes, cosmetics, high-quality oil, additives to many foods and others.

It is the latest uses of hemp that require the use of environmentally friendly products that would be of high quality, greater demand and cost.

The creation of varieties and hybrids of plants that meet the needs of the market is devoted to the research conducted during 2014-2020 and still currently continues.

In this article, we have tried to show our research, achievements and conclusions.

Initially, the plants with a reduced content of THC (0.01-0.001%) and an increased content of CBD (0.50-1.50%) and CBG (0.02-0.70%) in the variety Zolotoniski 15 were selected, and later the breeding work was continued with the varieties Globa, Lara, Sula and a number of future varieties that will be submitted for the state variety testing.

In the first three years, the targeted selection in the direction of increasing the content of CBG in cannabis plants proved to be quite effective. But life sets new challenges and our search continues.

Key words: cannabinoids, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (СBN), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), enzymes, precursors, breeding, technical hemp, variability, correlation.
