Narcomenudeo y control territorial en América Latina
Authors: Saborío Sebastián
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo analiza el fenómeno del control territorial llevado a cabo por parte de grupos criminales que se dedican al narcomenudeo en barrios de las ciudades latinoamericanas. Demuestra que las publicaciones sobre el tema asumen que existe una definición clara de “control territorial”, pero terminan por referirse a procesos sociales diferentes. Apoyándose en los conceptos de territorio, territorialidad y territorialización, el autor define los elementos que conforman las diferentes modalidades de control territorial que llevan a cabo las bandas del narcomenudeo. De esa manera, brinda una herramienta de análisis compuesta por diferentes indicadores: quiénes son los sujetos controlados por las bandas, cuál es la extensión, modalidad y objetivos del control territorial y de qué manera dichos grupos influencian la vida política, asociativa y otras esferas de la cotidianeidad de las comunidades en las cuales están situados.

Abstract

This article analyses the phenomena of territorial control that is carried on by small scale drug trafficking groups in Latin American cities. It shows that existing publications on this topic take for granted what “territorial control” is, but end up referring to different social processes. Leaning in the concepts of territory, territoriality and territorialization, the author defines which elements shape the different modalities of territorial control implemented by small scale drug trafficking groups. In this way, he provides an analytical tool composed by different indicators: who are the subjects controlled by drug gangs, what is the extension, modality and objectives of territorial control and how do these groups influence political and associative life as well as other spheres of everyday life of the communities in which they are located.
Hechos ciberfísicos: una propuesta de análisis para ciberamenazas en las Estrategias Nacionales de Ciberseguridad
Authors: Aguilar-Antonio Juan-Manuel
Published: December 2019

El artículo presenta la categoría de hechos ciberfísicos, una propuesta para el análisis y la delimitación de amenazas en el régimen híbrido del ciberespacio. Se propone la hipótesis de que América Latina, y en particular México, no comprenden en sus Estrategias Nacionales de Ciberseguridad (ENCS) la naturaleza de las ciberagresiones ni la posibilidad de que una crisis surgida en el ciberespacio salte al espacio físico o material. Para probarla se presenta el contexto de la ciberseguridad en la región y se realiza una crítica de la ENCS de México. Después se hace un análisis comparativo de cinco casos de interés y referencia entre los estudios de ciberseguridad, para introducir el concepto de hecho ciberfísico. Por último, se aplica la propuesta a un estudio de caso y se muestra su utilidad para las ENCS, así como su grado de impacto en la esfera de la seguridad pública y nacional. 
Abstract
The article introduces the category of cyber-physical facts, a proposal for the analysis and delimitation of threats in the hybrid regime of cyberspace. The research objective is to test the hypothesis that Latin America, and Mexico in particular, do not understand in their National Cybersecurity Strategies (NCSS) the nature of cyber-attacks, nor the possibility that a crisis arising in cyberspace will jump into the physical or material ground. To prove this, the context of cybersecurity in the region is presented and also a critique of the NCSS of Mexico. Then, the article makes a comparative analysis of five cases of interest and reference in cybersecurity studies to introduce the concept of cyber-physical fact. Finally, this proposal is applied to a case study, and its usefulness to the NCSS is shown, as well as its degree of impact in the sphere of public and national security.
A statistical exploration of interval-deficient wind speed data for application to wind power assessments
Authors: Lubbe F. , Harms T. , Maritz J.
Published: December 2019

Gathering quality wind speed data can be time-consuming and expensive. The present study established whether interval-deficient wind speed data could be rendered useful for wind power assessments. The effect of interval deficiency on the quality of the wind speed data was investigated by studying the behaviour of the Weibull scale and shape factors as the interval size between wind speed measurements increased. Five wind speed data sets obtained from the Southern African Universities Radiometric Network (Sauran) were analysed, based on a proposed procedure to find the true Weibull parameters from an interval-deficient wind speed data set. It was found that the relative errors in the Weibull parameters were, on average, less than 1%, compared with the Weibull parameters computed from a wind speed data set that complies with the IEC 61400-12-1:2005(E) standard. This finding may contribute to time and cost reduction in wind power assessments. It may also promote the application of statistical methods in the renewable energy sector.

Published: December 2019

To evaluate the electrical contact behaviors of silver metal oxide contact materials in relays application more accurately, and to
guide the selection of contact materials, the test device and testing method for simulating electrical contact performance in relays
application were analyzed in this paper. The electrical contact simulation test system was designed and developed, which can
easily simulate contact materials. The contact resistance, static force and rebound energy degradation parameters of AgSnO2,
AgCdO and AgNi contact materials under the same load conditions were obtained through experimental research, the contact
resistance and arcing energy degradation parameters of AgSnO2 under different opening distances were acquired at the same
time. The result indicated that accurate data are received by the electrical contact simulation testing method. Finally, based on the
test data, the degradation performance of three selected test materials was tested, and the failure mechanism of AgSnO2 materials
was analyzed.
Model-based analysis of injection process parameters in a common rail fuel supply system
Authors: Knefel Tomasz , Nowakowski Jacek
Published: December 2019

In this work, a simplified model of a rail-based fuel supply system in a compression ignition engine is presented. High pressure
hoses were not taken into consideration and an empirical model was developed to simulate the injectors. The basic equations of
the model are presented. Phenomena were described by 17 first-order ordinary differential equations. This work also contains an
evaluation of the impact of the rail’s geometrical parameters on the injection process. The evaluation was carried out via a program calculating the injection process, using a balance model of the injection system. A method for making preliminary decisions
on the geometrical parameters of the rail is proposed.
Simulation analysis of electric vehicles energy consumption in driving tests
Authors: Pielecha Ireneusz , Pielecha Jacek
Published: December 2019

The assessment of energy flow through electric vehicle systems makes estimating their energy consumption possible. The article
presents analyzes of the energy consumption of electric vehicles in selected driving tests (NEDC, WLTC and in real traffic conditions – RDC test) in relation to the vehicles different curb weight. The use of electric motors was also analyzed, providing their
operating ranges, data of the energy flow in batteries and the change in their charge level. Simulation tests and analyzes were
carried out using the AVL Cruise software. It was found that despite similar vehicle energy consumption values in NEDC and
RDC testing, there are significant differences in energy flow in vehicle subsystems. The changes in the battery charge level per
100 km of test drive are similar in both the WLTC and RDC tests (6% difference); for the NEDC test, this difference is the greatest at 25% (compared to the previous tests). The energy consumption of electric vehicles depends significantly on the test itself;
the values obtained in the tests are in the ranges of 10.1–13.5 kWh/100 km (NEDC test); 13–15 kWh/100 km (WLTC test) and
12.5–16.2 kWh/100 km in the RDC test. The energy consumption values in the NEDC and WLTC tests, compared to the RDC test,
are approximately 20% and 10% lower, respectively. Increasing the vehicle mass increases the energy consumption (increasing
the vehicle mass by 100 kg was found to increase the energy consumption by 0.34 kWh/100 km).
The assessment of influence of styrene-butadiene-styrene elastomer’s content on the functional properties of asphalt binders
Authors: Marta Mielczarek , Mieczysław Słowik , Karol Andrzejczak
Published: December 2019

This paper discusses the issue of improving the functional properties of road asphalt pavements by modifying bituminous binder with SBS copolymer. The main purpose of the paper is to assess the resistance to permanent deformations and the temperature susceptibility of polymer-modified road asphalt binders, which are most commonly used in the upper layers of road and airport pavements. The bitumens subject to the study originate from various crude oil deposits (Russian and Venezuelan). They were modified in laboratory conditions with a concentrated additive with the known content of the SBS copolymer of 9%. The result was a asphalt binder containing the known percentage of the SBS copolymer of 1.5%, 3.0%, 4.5% and 6%. The rheological properties of the tested bitumens were determined by use of a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), and with the application of the sinusoidal variable load, in the broad test temperature spectrum (from 40°C to 100°C). The analysis of the values of the dynamic shear modulus |G*| of all the studied bitumens shows that the increase in the content of SBS copolymer in the tested binder increases the value of |G*|, which may result in higher resistance to permanent deformations of road pavements caused by repeated traffic loads, especially in the case of pavements operated at high temperatures. The asphalt mixtures resistance to rutting is one of the basic parameters related to road pavement service-life, affecting both the safety and driving comfort of users.
YAR SLAVUTYCH AS A LITERATURE SCHOLAR
Authors: Pohrebennyk Volodymyr
Published: December 2019

The article is dedicated to the special features of Yar Slavutych’s explorer reception the main figures and tendencies of the Ukrainian literature XVII-th – XX-th centuries, the art coordinates of images of Ukraine and its leaders. The unique contribution of H. Scovoroda, T. Shevchenko, I.Franko, Y. Malanyuk. V. Stus and others in the development of the Ukrainian pro-State nation, its political ideas and people’s dignity is characterized according to the scholar’s pointe of view.

Scientific review of literary works of Ukrainian immigration has began in early 90th – it was connected with the return of texts and publications of it’s prominent representatives, collecting of great number of materials and first tries of its’ scientific treating. But domestic science still has a lack of special works which will fully describe the role of literary revelations of diaspore scientists.

The heir of Cossack elites, steppe warriors from Kherson region, who became a professor of Alberta University, struggler for the independence of Ukraine Yar Slavutych (Hryrohii Zhuchenko, born in 1918) is famous as a poet of neoclassic genre, literary critic and linguist. His philological works are fully represented in the third and the fourth volume of his „Selected works in 5 volumes” published in Dnipro in the late 90th.

Professor’s and poet’s scientific heritage was synthetically analytical, constructive and full of objective truth – it properly represents the values of nation, expresses the relevance and contextual rightfulness of ideas. The world of literary critical works of Yar Slavutych is a universe of humanism, democracy and patriotism, insistence on words and it’s aesthetic beauty. Such kind of scientific works are able to stand the test of time.
NATIONAL IDEA AS THE DOMINANT OF YURIY KOSACH JOURNALISM 30S OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Authors: Poplavska Nataliia
Published: December 2019

The article analyzes Yuriy Kosach’s journalism of the 30s of the twentieth century as a component of multifaceted creativity in the context of historical circumstances and literary and critical essays, the national idea as its dominant is singled out. It was emphasized that the relevance of the study is due to almost complete neglect of his 1930s journalism in contemporary research and insufficient attention to its conceptualism. It is noted that the Ukrainian journalistic narrative can not be imagined today without the work of Yuri Kosach, as his work is large, recently the reprint of works in Ukraine began to appear: the novel “Rubicon Khmelnitsky”, the collection “Prose of the lives of others”, novels “The Winner Pondi “,” Day of anger “, a historical prose in three books, novels and stories on the pages of the magazine” Courier Kryvbas “).Attention is paid to the fact that Yuri Kosach’s journalistic work of this period is a reflection of his ideological and ideological struggles, aesthetic orientations, manifestations of changes and fluctuations in his personal priorities. Were described his publications such as “To the Genesis of Ukrainian Nationalism”, “Dogma of the Struggle”, “On the Meeting of the 27th Anniversary of November”, “On the Guard of the Nation”, published in the “Ukrainian Word” weekly. It was revealed that Yuriy Kosach’s contemporary journalistic work gives an opportunity to characterize his vision and understanding of national problems, to understand their vision. The main problem that Yuri Kosach was interested in in the 1930s was the political life of both Western Ukraine and Ukraine as a whole. He made significant efforts to organize and define strategic priorities in solving the main task of activating Ukrainians in the establishment of national self-affirmation and Ukrainian statehood.

Published: December 2019

The review deals with modern factors of the etiology and pathogenesis of autism, which is part of the autism spectrum disorder complex, approaches to the diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients, as well as social and humanitarian aspects of understanding this pathology as a phenomenon. Despite the fact that so far there is no single etiological concept of the development of autism, a sufficient amount of information has been accumulated that allows talking about genetic theory as one of the main causes of its occurrence. The functions of the main genes in which mutations can lead to the development of autism are examined in more detail, and its genomic architecture is established to be heterogeneous, that is, it is determined by polymorphism in several genes at once, and the disorder is aggravated when polymorphisms are combined with external risk factors. Some current aspects of the diagnosis of autism are outlined, including the main criteria a persistent lack of social communication and social interactions, limited, repetitive forms of behavior, speech impairment. The main diagnostic questionnaires and rating scales used for the more accurate diagnosis and verification of autism spectrum disorders are presented. When considering the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with autism and other disorders of the autism spectrum, it was concluded that integrated approach including various methods of psychological, pedagogical and medical correction, as well as social adaptation and integration is the most effective. Studies in the social sciences are presented that examine autism spectrum disorders within the framework of social constructivism, the role of the social context in identifying and treating autism is shown, as well as the impact of medical discourse on stigmatization and discrimination of the autistic community. The approaches to the conceptualization of autism in the framework of the theory and movement of neurodiversification, representing autism as a form of biological diversity that requires a positive identity of autistic people and the recognition of their differences by society, are highlighted.
The role of NOD2/CARD15 gene of antigen-presenting system in functioning of various organs and systems
Authors: Kazumian Maria Arkadevna , Vasilenok Aleksander Vasilevich , Teplyakova Elena Dmitrievna
Published: December 2019

The article presents the literature review devoted to NOD2/CARD15 gene. Genetic variability affects the susceptibility and development of certain human diseases such as autoimmune diseases and infections, affecting numerous cellular processes, and thus modulating the response to environmental and internal factors. The NOD2/CARD15 gene plays a major role in the development and course of various diseases such as Grohn's disease, Blau syndrome, as well as the risk of developing severe complications of the graft versus host reaction after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. NOD (Nucleotide Oligomerization Domain) is the domain of nucleotide oligomerization. NOD-like receptors play an important regulatory role in the response on infectious agents and at activation of the adaptive immune response. It is known that the mechanism of action of NOD-like receptors is based on the response to the pathogen of associated molecular patterns mainly of bacterial origin, which leads to the formation and activation of inflammasome. Recently, another NOD-like receptor activation mechanism has been revealed that provides innate virus recognition. The review presents Toll-like receptors, which are part of the innate immune system. Innate immunity is an inherited system of protection of the body against pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms. The mechanisms of innate immunity develop very quickly. In newborns, the immune system is mainly dependent on components of the innate or antigen-independent immune system including phagocytes, natural killer cells, antigen-presenting cells, humoral inflammatory mediators and complement system.
Neotectonic and Paleoseismic Analysis of the Northwest Extent of Holocene Surface Deformation along the Meers Fault, Oklahoma
Authors: Hornsby Kristofer T. , Streig Ashley R. , Bennett Scott E. K. , Chang Jefferson C. , Mahan Shannon
Published: December 2019

The Meers fault (Oklahoma) is one of few seismogenic structures with evidence for Holocene surface rupture in the stable continental region of North America. The 37-kilometer-long southeast section of the full 54-kilometer-long Meers fault is interpreted to be Holocene active. The 17-kilometer-long northwest section is considered Quaternary active, but not Holocene active. We reevaluate surface expression and earthquake timing of the northwest Meers fault to improve seismic source characterization. We use airborne light detection and ranging and historical stereopaired aerial photos to evaluate the fault scarp and local fault-zone geomorphology. In the northwest, complex surface deformation includes fault splays, subtle monoclinal warping, and a minor change in fault strike. We interpret that the along-strike transition from surface faulting on the southeast Meers fault to surface folding on the northwest Meers fault occurs at the lithologic contact between Permian Post Oak conglomerate and Hennessey shale. We excavated a paleoseismic trench to evaluate the timing of surface-deforming earthquakes on the northwest section of the fault. The excavation revealed weathered Permian Hennessey shale and an ∼1–2-meter-thick veneer of Holocene alluvial deposits that were progressively deformed during two surface-folding earthquakes likely related to blind fault rupture beneath the site. Repeated onlapping to overlapping stratigraphic sequences and associated unconformities are intimately related to folding events along the monocline. OxCal paleoearthquake age modeling indicates that earthquakes occurred 4704–3109 yr B.P. and 5955–4744 yr B.P., and that part of the northwest section of the Meers fault is Holocene active. We find the Holocene-active section of the Meers fault should be lengthened 6.1 km to the northwest, to a total Holocene-active fault length of 43 km. Empirical scaling relationships between surface rupture length and magnitude reveal that the fault could generate an Mw 7.0 earthquake.
Pursuing the Anchor Mission in a Fragmented Suburban Setting
Authors: Guenther Karl , Swanstrom Todd , George Thomas F.
Published: December 2019

Increasingly, suburban universities find themselves in communities facing challenges that inner cities have had to deal with for decades, including concentrated poverty, housing vacancy, and underperforming school districts. While the problems are similar, the institutional context is different. Compared to central cities, suburban municipal governments generally lack the resources necessary to sustain robust community economic development initiatives. Further, suburbs often lack the rich landscape of nonprofit organizations that were built up over many decades in central cities. This article reflects on the experience of the University of Missouri-St. Louis as a case study of a suburban anchor institution. This experience suggests that anchor institutions in suburban settings need to focus on asset-based community development, support collective action among fragmented institutions, and build the civic capacity of local governments, nonprofits, and businesses.
Brain Remain
Authors: Lieberman Devorah , Capaldi Shannon
Published: December 2019

Volumes of research studies, surveys, and census data document the “brain drain,” the phenomenon of highly educated and highly skilled workers migrating from their hometown to an urban or metropolitan area that promises a better life. Early indications of brain drain begin with high school graduates determining where to attend college. There is a pervasive belief that it is a measure of success and part of a process of upward mobility to go away to college, and therefore an implied failure if one remains in their hometown or region while earning a degree. This mentality and encouraged brain drain behavior is reinforced by a K-12 education system that sorts students early in their academic careers and invests in the best and brightest, while paying little attention to the majority of students (Harmon, 2010). This is a skewed approach and leaves many individuals, and their hometowns, with few opportunities and stifled upward social and economic mobility.
 
The needs of the workforce are rapidly changing. Some form of post-secondary education is required for the majority of entry-level jobs in the United States (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017). Yet, higher education is being faced with increasing competition and growing skepticism regarding the value of a college degree. By collaborating and partnering with the region in which an institution exists, urban, suburban, or rural, colleges and universities can cut through higher education’s competitive noise and growing skepticism, while addressing the changing workforce needs and redefining students’ pride about where they earn a degree, and begin their careers, close to home.
We call this paradigm shift the “Brain Remain,” and it has the potential to significantly alter the way higher education, K-12 districts, businesses, and community leaders work, operate, and collaborate in the new economy. This, in turn, can create bold new opportunities for students where they least expect them: right in their own backyards.

Published: December 2019

To further live our mission, Marquette has launched many new initiatives over the past five years that strategically connect our university to our community. In this paper, we will highlight three of these initiatives. The first relates to connecting the anchor institutions in our neighborhood through an effort called Near West Side Partners. The second discusses the creation of a centralized Office of Community Engagement that advances the development, support, and promotion of the research, teaching, and service partnerships between our campus and our community partners. The third initiative, our most recent enterprise, is our Office of Corporate Engagement and Partnerships. All three of these efforts follow through on Ignatius of Loyola’s vision to serve others and collectively make a difference.

Published: December 2019

En la literatura latina o literatura de origen hispano desarrollada en los Estados Unidos, es frecuente el uso de la L3 o segunda lengua español en el texto y la alternancia de código entre este idioma y la lengua base inglés en el desarrollo de la escritura. Debido a esta particularidad, traducir una obra de estas características a otra lengua puede suponer un gran desafío para el traductor. El propósito de este artículo es determinar en qué modo influyen los factores soporte y receptor en el tipo de técnicas de traducción elegidas para llevar a cabo la transferencia de estos términos en L3. Para ello, se han comparado dos obras translingües con distinto tipo de receptor, la adaptación textual de la película Coco con receptor infantil y la novela In the Time of the Butterflies con receptor adulto y a su vez, dos obras con distinto tipo de soporte, una obra unimodal, de nuevo, la adaptación textual de la película Coco y una obra multimodal, la propia obra audiovisual. Palabras clave: multilingüismo, translingüismo, L3, soporte, receptor, literatura infantil y juvenil, Coco
Glacier and climate evolution in the Pariacacá Mountains, Peru

Published: December 2019

Glaciers in Peru play a major role in water availability and they also have direct implications on natural hazards such as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and/or ice avalanches, which have caused a high number of fatalities and damage to infrastructure in the last decades. Despite a noticeable effort to quantify and understand the shrinking and thawing of glaciers in Peru, there are still regions where detailed assessment is still missing.In this work, a set of remote sensing images were used to map, for the first time, the evolution of the glaciated area (from 1970 to 2018) in the Pariacacá Mountains (11º5’ S, 76º0’ W) in the Cordillera Central of Peru. The results evidenced a marked decrease of the glaciated surface, with 55.3% shrinkage since 1970 and 40% since 1987. Faster glacier retreat occurred between 1985 and the end of the 1990s, and this period was followed by a significant slowdown in shrinking rates. The differential loss of ice, depending on elevation and exposure to incoming radiation, has led to changes in spatial distribution of the glaciers. Currently, they have almost completely thawed below 5000 m a.s.l. They are mostly located in south- to west-facing aspects. Ice melting in the last decades has even affected the summit areas. Finally, the development of ablation hollows has been identified as an important driver of glacier thaw. These features are formed mainly in gentle slopes and highly irradiated zones between 5000 and 5400 m a.s.l.
Transport functions and physiological significance of 76 kDa Ral-binding GTPase activating protein (RLIP76).

Published: December 2019

We have recently demonstrated that a previously known Ral-binding GTPase activating protein, RLIP76, can also catalyze ATP-dependent transport of various structurally unrelated xeno- and endobiotics irrespective of their net charge (Awasthi et al., 2000, Biochemistry, 39: 9327). RLIP76 is a non-ATP binding cassette (ABC) protein but it has two ATP-binding sites and shows basal ATPase activity which is stimulated in the presence of its transport substrates (allocrites) such as doxorubicin (DOX) and S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) glutathione (DNP-SG). Proteoliposomes reconstituted with purified RLIP76 catalyze ATP-dependent, saturable transport of DOX, as well as of glutathione-conjugates including leukotrienes (LTC4) and the GSH-conjugate of 4-hydroxynonenal (GS-HNE). In erythrocytes the majority of transport activity for DOX, GS-HNE, and LTC4 is accounted for by RLIP76. Cells exposed to mild oxidative stress show a rapid and transient induction of RLIP76 resulting in an increased efflux of GS-HNE and acquire resistance to oxidative stress mediated toxicity and apoptosis. Cells transfected with RLIP76 acquire resistance to DOX through increased efflux of the drug suggesting its possible role in the mechanisms of drug-resistance. In this article, we discuss the significance of transport functions of RLIP76 highlighting its role in the defense mechanisms against oxidative injury, and modulation of signaling mechanisms.

El deporte es hoy, sin duda, una industria de consumo masivo, en ella confluyen –desde el propio deportista, hasta la radiodifusión del evento deportivo– múltiples activos intangibles, y negocios jurídicos en los que se dispone de dichos intangibles. La gestión de estos intangibles resulta una tarea dispendiosa, pero en todo caso, rentable si se realiza adecuadamente. Tal gestión implicará la intervención de diferentes agentes con especialidad en sus respectivas disciplinas, y su aporte, a nuestro juicio, se realizará en tres etapas: identificación del intangible, protección del intangible y administración del intangible. Son tres etapas que la industria deportiva debe realizar de manera constante, para lograr los mejores resultados, tanto deportivos como empresariales.

Gelişmiş ülkelerin öncülüğünde başlayan Endüstri 4.0’ın ülkelerin gelecek planlamalarında yer aldığı görülmekte, devlet sanayi işbirliğinde yeni sistemlere uygun düzenlemelerin ve uygulamaların başladığı görülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, çalışma kapsamında Türkiye üretim endüstrisinin mevcut teknolojik durumu ve Endüstri 4.0’a bakış açısı incelenmiştir. Ülke çapında üretim endüstrisinde çalışan 202 katılımcıya ulaşılarak, Endüstri 4.0 farkındalık anketi ile Endüstri 4.0’a bakış açısındaki sektörel farklılıklar belirlenmiş, Endüstri 4.0 bilgi seviyesine göre katılımcıların görüşleri alınmıştır. Hazırlanan anket paralelinde 4 hipotez oluşturulmuş, hipotezler istatiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Sektörel bazda Endüstri 4.0’a bakış açısındaki farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, katılımcıların Endüstri 4.0 bilgi seviyelerine ve firmalarında Endüstri 4.0 ile ilgili çalışma yapılıp yapılmamasına göre Endüstri 4.0 farkındalıklarının değiştiği görülmüştür. Katılımcılar Endüstri 4.0’a geçişi gerekli görmüş, fakat yeni teknolojileri geçişte mevcut işletme bilgi, bilişim, teknolojik altyapılarının yeterli olmayacağını belirtmiştir.

Doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ev sahibi ülkelere kattıkları bir çok fayda mevcuttur. Özellikle
doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar gelişmekte olan ülkelere üretim için gerekli sermaye birikimi, bilgi
ve yönetimsel beceri, teknolojik altyapı ve kullanım yetkinlikleri sağlamaktadır. Doğrudan
yabancı yatırımların bu faydalarının yanında ev sahibi ülkelerin ihracat ürün sepetine de olumlu
katkı sağlaması beklenir. Ancak yapılan literatür incelemesi neticesinde doğrudan yabancı
yatırımların ev sahibi ülkelerin ihracat ürün çeşitliliğine etkisini inceleyen yeterli çalışma
olmadığı görülmüştür. Bu nedenle, Doğrudan yabancı yatırımların Türkiye’deki ihracat ürün
çeşitlendirmesi üzerindeki etkisi, Vektör Otoregresif (VAR) Analizi metodu ile incelenmiştir.
Ampirik analiz sonuçları, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ihracat ürün çeşitliliğini etkilemediğini
göstermiştir. Varyans ayrıştırma analizi sonuçlarına göre dışa açıklığı ihracat ürün
çeşitlendirmesine önemli katkı sağladığı tespit edilmiştir.

TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 photocatalysts have been synthesized through the surfactant-assisted sol-gel method. The catalysts were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-ED Sand BET surface area. XRD pattern showed the formation of anatase TiO2 crystal phase both in TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3. The TiO2-CaO has higher crystallinity than TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3. Based on the peak refinement using Rietveld, there are two peaks identified as Fe2O3 hematite in the sample TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3.  BET surface area analysis showed that the average pore size of TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 catalysts are 8.04 and 8.41 nm respectively, indicating both catalysts are mesoporous.FTIR spectra show that the vibration of Ti-O, Ca-O, and Ca-TiO2 were observed in both catalysts. SEM images confirm that both catalysts are porous material. The catechol removal using TiO2-CaO and TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 improved with the increase of catalyst concentration. After 360 minutes of UV radiation, the removal of catechol using TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 reached 46.0%, 48.3%, and 69.2%, while when using TiO2-CaO, it reached 22.1%, 36.8%, and 57.0% for 0.1 g, 0.15 g, and 0.2 g of catalysts, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 is not so strong compared to TiO2-CaO catalyst but the catechol adsorption property of TiO2-CaO-Fe2O3 is higher than that of TiO2-CaO catalyst.
