Inventory management applications using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) appear to have the highest potential for use in warehouse operations. They remove the need for manual inspection, which is in most cases performed in heights using ladder, pen and paper. Moreover, it provides a competitive edge in the field of logistics while decreasing costs and improving stock management efficiency. Deployment of autonomous UAVs in an indoor environment puts higher requirements for the level of autonomy due to the more complex nature of the environment (narrow crossings, absence of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), smaller manoeuvring space, dynamic environment, etc. ...). In this paper, we would like to introduce a system for automation of planning, managing, and executing a warehouse inspection. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use framework of the inspection task that any warehouse operator is capable of using it. The system consists of two main parts - user interface and path planner. Using a created human-machine interface (HMI), an operator is able to define the workspace and the inspection task. The path planning module takes as an input the definition of the inspection task defined by the operator and plans an optimised collision-less path. The operator can visualise the generated mission, launch it, observe the mission execution progress in real time and receive the mission results. The functionality of the system is verified by a simulation as well as by test flights made in an environment simulating a warehouse by a real UAV called AV Discovery built by Airvolute s.r.o.

This paper develops a model for DC motor diagnostics based on a state-space model approach. Its digital twin works in parallel with the real motor. The output signals of the motor and the digital twin from the electric current and angular velocity sensors are analyzed. The motor defects are detected by the magnitude of the discrepancy. If a defect is detected, the diagnostic system transmits information about it to the control system, turns on the defect indication, then by fuzzy logic methods or other methods determines the type of defect, the system element in which the defect occurred, predicts the remaining life, the control system is fail-safe operation. If the magnitude of the defect is insignificant, then appropriate maintenance actions are recommended. If the magnitude of the defect is significant, an emergency shutdown of the motor must be performed.

This article deals with the injection moulding into the plastic mould. This is an unconventional approach to injection moulding, especially because the 3D printing is used to produce the mould. The mould with the same shape was made of a conventional material (aluminium) for comparison. The properties of the plastic mould were then compared to the aluminium mould. The flash was seen as the main shortcoming. The modifications of the mould were suggested in two variants, one of them was implemented. The advantage of the flash solution was described. Finally, other solution options were summarized based on the performed testing.

The paper is focused on the determination of the heat treatment effect on AW2099 welded joints properties. Laser beam welding was applied at constant welding parameters during the experiment. After the welding, solution annealing and artificial aging were applied at 150°C and 180°C for 24 hours. Subsequently, a static tensile test and microhardness measurement of welded joints were performed. The results of the tensile test showed that both heat treatment regimens resulted in an increase in the strength of welded joints and ensured an increase in hardness also in the area of the weld metal. The highest strength value (427.25MPa) was observed at a curing temperature of 150°C and a time of 24h.
Volatility and Stability of ESG Equity in Indonesia toward Internal and External Shocks
Authors: Gunawan Indra , Firdaus Muhammad , Siregar Hermanto , Siregar Mulya E.
Published: September 2022

The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) index is rising in popularity globally especially in Indonesia. This study attempts to prove that ESG equity is less volatile than non-ESG equity, since specific components of ESG are essentially parts of the Shariah values. Using data from 2009 through 2020, the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) method was utilized to further investigate the link between ESG and other endogenous variables such as the DJIM (Dow Jones Islamic Market), Fed rate, JCI (Jakarta Composite Index) index, exchange rate, and BI rate. The results show that all internal and external variables significantly influence ESG equity in very low magnitude, except for DJIM negatively and Fed rate positively. However, the IRF findings reveal what transpired to the ESG equity, which was able to endure shocks from both internal and external simultaneously, and to stabilize more swiftly. Moreover, the FEVD results shows that all internal and external variables have little impact to ESG equity totaling less than 9 per cent. Meanwhile, the impact of the same variables to non-ESG equity, i.e., JCI and DJIM, are higher at 38 per cent and 13 per cent, respectively. In addition, ESG equity tends to have a dominant influence on other non-ESG equity. Therefore, the Indonesian stock market will be more stable if ethical investing norms, such as ESG equity, are followed, which will be more judicious in order to achieve long-term growth.
The Role of Attitudes toward Local Product in Green Marketing Strategy: Evidence from Muslim Consumers
Authors: Al Hadi M Qoshid , Budi Iman Setya
Published: September 2022

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has increasingly aroused the awareness of companies towards environmental issues. The company began to make changes in energy utility to reduce environmental impacts, including its marketing pattern. In addition, the issue of the government's campaign to love local products has also influenced consumer purchase intention. For this reason, this study aims to examine the impact of green marketing strategy (GMS) variables, which are green advertising and green brand image, and the attitudes toward local products as the moderating role, on Muslim purchase intention. This study used the partial least square–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The data collected from 89 Muslim consumers in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, were processed using SmartPLS. This study uncovered that both GMS variables significantly affected the consumers’ purchase intention. However, this study also found that the attitude toward local products did not moderate the relationship between the two previous variables on purchase intention, but it significantly affected consumers’ purchase intention directly.
Bank Reactions to COVID-19 Pandemic and Currency Crisis: Empirical Evidence from Iran
Authors: Gholami Reza , Abdul-Rahman Aisyah
Published: September 2022

Since 2019, the global economy is suffering from a crisis caused by a novel virus called Covid-19 which create uncertainty condition for investors by affecting both supply and demand side of the economy, simultaneously. It is expected that investors be more cautious in investing under uncertain condition created by Covid-19, but this issue has been neglected in the literature. We address it by examining the banks’ behavior in constructing their portfolio based on empirical evidence from the Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran). We focus on banking system as it is a major investor in the economy that is more sensitive to any surprises due to the structure of its business model. By categorizing the Iranian banks’ assets into fixed, variable, and no-interest rate, we examine the weight change of the three contracts in the banks’ portfolio during the Covid-19 and a regular currency crisis. We apply ARDL regression analysis for monthly data (January 2010 to June 2021) from Iranian Central Bank. The results revealed that the weight of the fixed rate contracts in the banks’ portfolio, on average, is higher during crisis compared to normal periods, and is even higher facing Covid-19 or uncertainty condition. This study adds to the literature of Covid-19 crisis and its findings help policymakers to provide a prompt reply of such crisis through banking system.
Nikolay Gogol's Book "Selected Passages from Correspondence with His Friends" as a Religious Space for Social Communication
Authors: Shcherbatova Irina
Published: September 2022

The article investigates the religious position of Nikolai Gogol as it is expressed in Selected Passages from Correspondence with his Friends. The author attempts to answer the question of why the society did not accept Gogol’s preaching tone at the time of the publication, while half a century later, it saw Gogol as a harbinger of the new religious consciousness and, in particular, of the acute attention to the inner self. The author reconstructs the public discussions and narratives circulating around Gogol’s position at the time and formulates the problem of the religious individualism as part of the laic Christian discourse. The author argues that the tension between Gogol and his reader is a clash of the idea of the protected value of the inner religious space and Gogol’s ‘project’ of the centralisation of the religious life. The society perceived this clash as Gogol’s individualistic claim. The society failed to notice Gogol’s longing for the religious transfiguration of life beyond his stylistic moralism and archaic form of the text. The author concludes that the educated society denied the Other’s right to religious life as a result of its partially developed individualism. Paradoxically, Gogol, despite his justifying serfdom, was a proponent of the religious individualism and the idea of the intrinsic value of the human being within a wider space of the Christian culture.
Artificial Intelligence as a Goal and a Means
Authors: Derzhavina Natalya
Published: September 2022

The question of the essence of artificial intelligence seems to be closely related to the question of ethics, about how we expect or do not expect to see the consequences of the decisions made by the machine. Appeal to Kant's ethical philosophy makes it possible to obtain theoretical tools for describing artificial intelligence systems that meet the criterion of "humanity", which in the future should facilitate communication in the human-AI format and provide a general basis on which artificial intelligence can be correlated with natural intelligence.

Klecha, księżulek, opryszek w sutannie: uwagi o antyreligijnej polityce władz radzieckich wobec Kościoła katolickiego w okresie międzywojennym (na materiale moskiewskiej gazety Trybuna Radziecka)
Authors: Graczykowska Tamara
Published: September 2022

W artykule omówiono politykę władz ZSRR wobec Kościoła katolickiego w okresie międzywojennym. Konsekwencją działań podjętych przez komunistów miała być całkowita likwidacja struktur kościelnych oraz wychowanie nowego, radzieckiego Polaka – ateisty.

W efekcie licznych kampanii prowadzonych przez służby specjalne, organy administracji państwowej, opartych głównie na terrorze i fizyczną eliminację duchowieństwa i wiernych, Kościół katolicki praktycznie przestał istnieć w ZSRR w 1938 r.

Jednocześnie w artykule pokazano na przykładzie polskojęzycznej gazety „Trybuny Radzieckiej”, jak za pomocą narzuconej odgórnie przez władze komunistyczne antyreligijnej propagandy dążono do kształtowania pożądanych, ateistycznych postaw wśród obywateli ZSRR.
A coeducação oportunizada pelo trabalho colaborativo nas aulas de Educação Física
Authors: Ferreira Robson Alex
Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as contribuições do Trabalho Colaborativo entre o professor regente e os futuros professores, para a coeducação nas aulas de Educação Física de uma unidade escolar pública no estado do Mato Grosso. Foram sujeitos deste estudo a professora regente de uma unidade escolar pública, dois acadêmicos dos últimos semestres do curso de Educação Física e o pesquisador. O instrumento utilizado nesta pesquisa foram as narrativas orais dos sujeitos e a análise dos dados se deu pelos eixos temáticos a partir dos passos adotados por Rinaldi (2009). Os principais resultados apontaram que o Trabalho Colaborativo contribuiu para que a coeducação pudesse ser percebida para além dos horizontes da simples junção de homens e mulheres nas aulas. Foi possível perceber em alguns momentos as mulheres reivindicando seu espaço e lugar nas atividades, o que as fez inclusive agir como os próprios meninos não os aceitando inicialmente em algumas dinâmicas. No entanto, nossas discussões mostraram que a coeducação não é uma unanimidade quanto sua oferta e aceitação no ambiente escolar. Entendemos que o Trabalho Colaborativo entre a universidade e a escola pode ser uma estratégia que permite a construção de saberes que permitem auxiliar o professor regente e os futuros professores a preencher lacunas em suas ações em sala de aula, ao mesmo tempo que, pode contribuir com saberes que permitam aos professores da universidade um olhar para além das situações ideias de ensino.

Authors: Oliveira Rosilane Kátia de , E Nogueira Marlice De Oliveira , Torres Marco Antônio
Published: September 2022

O artigo discute resultados de uma pesquisa realizada com pais professores homens da Educação Básica em cinco cidades mineiras. Primeiramente, realizamos um mapeamento da presença de professores homens nas escolas de educação básica nos municípios investigados, nas esferas municipais e estaduais, na Superintendência Regional de Ensino de Ouro Preto. Em seguida, cotejamos esses dados com a produção científica produzida nas duas últimas décadas sobre o tema, enfatizando os estudos que investigaram a presença masculina na educação infantil e anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Os resultados indicam que o número de professores homens na docência aumenta à medida em que se avança no nível de ensino, comportamento estatístico também presente no conjunto dos docentes do país. A análise da produção científica demonstrou que os professores do sexo masculino ao se inserirem no espaço escolar nas primeiras etapas da educação básica passam por dilemas e enfrentamentos para permanecer na profissão e, muitas vezes, são submetidos às provas de uma pretensa e idealizada “idoneidade” para serem aceitos pela comunidade escolar.

Published: September 2022

The research aims to study the Gen Y turnover intention in the banking industry. The study took a quantitative approach that focuses on collecting numerical data that can be examined using statistical methods before being translated into information using quantitative techniques to understand the phenomena of turnover intention among Gen Y. Questionnaires were distributed online in convenient ways to enable the respondent to provide their feedback any-time and from anywhere. It was a non-probability sampling where questionnaires were distributed to respondents in the banking industry aged between 23-36 years. A set of hypotheses arising from a theoretical model of turnover intention was tested using SPSS. Empirical results revealed that only two variables significantly influenced turnover intention. Two independent variables, reward, and job satisfaction, show a significant relationship with the turnover intention of Gen Y in the banking industry of Malaysia. Employee engagement verified that it does not support the hypothesis and has no significant relationship. The research provides a clinical study on the relationship between Gen Y’s turnover intention with rewards, job satisfaction and employee engagement in the banking industry of Malaysia, where the findings will benefit the industry and academic field as an additional review or reference for future research. Employers will have a better understanding of which area of improvement to enhance an organization's performance and a clear understanding of employee needs.

Published: September 2022

In Vietnam, the issue of decentralization and implementation of decentralization have been a concern for a long time. This study focuses on the impact of fiscal decentralization on poverty reduction in Vietnam. Based on the provincial data with the use of the two-stage least squares method (2SLS), the estimation results obtained for the two periods show that fiscal decentralization had an impact on income/expenditure poverty reduction in the period from 2010–2015 and it had no significant effect on multidimensional poverty reduction in the period from 2016–2019. The study also found that economic growth, education and local welfare spending had an impact on poverty reduction in both stages, in which the impact of economic growth is relatively large, while the impact of welfare expenditures is relatively small in the locality. Improving infrastructure through information networks and increasing participation of people at the grassroots level have no impact on income/expenditure poverty reduction and multidimensional poverty in both the 2010–2015 and 2016–2019 periods.

Authors: Labadah Edudzi Paul , Labadah Joshua , Awere-Kyere Lesley , Wheatley Greg
Published: September 2022

This paper presents an effective way to control the temperature of bio-reactors (fermenters) used in ethanol production and to reduce the volume of cooling water required per square meter of ethanol produced. This paper specifically focuses on the fermentation of cassava starch using Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 32ºC. The flow across tube banks model is employed as the cooling mechanism of the bio-reactor. Cooling water at 28°C enters a shell containing five rows of fifteen (15) bio-reactors in a square in-line arrangement and exits the shell at 31.84°C. The total working volume of all fifteen (15) bio-reactors in the bank equals 180m^3. Each bio-reactor in the bank is designed to have an effective heat transfer area to volume ratio of two (2) to enhance heat transfer. The total quantity of cooling water required per cubic meter of ethanol produced is found to be 97.833m^3. A total amount of 1.303kW is required to power anchor impellers placed in each bio-reactor to provide mixing. The rotation speed of the impeller in each bio-reactor is 0.2〖rev·s〗^(-1). A total of 3.453*10^(-6) W is required to move cooling water through the bio-reactor bank at a speed of 3.942*10^(-5) ms^(-1). An overall heat transfer coefficient of 11.345W·m-2°C-1 was found for the bio-reactor cooling system. Employing flow across tube banks model in cooling ethanol bio-reactors required significantly less amount of cooling water per cubic meter of ethanol produced compared to using internal cooling coils.

An (α,β)-Hesitant Fuzzy Set Approach to Ideal Theory in Semigroups
Authors: Yiarayong Pairote
Published: September 2022

The aim of this manuscript is to introduce the \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant fuzzy set and apply it to semigroups. In this paper, as a generalization of the concept of hesitant fuzzy sets to semigroup theory, the concept of \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant fuzzy subsemigroups of semigroups is introduced, and related properties are discussed. Furthermore, we define and study \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant fuzzy ideals on semigroups. In particular, we investigate the structure of \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant fuzzy ideal generated by a hesitant fuzzy ideal in a semigroup. In addition, we also introduce the concepts of \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant fuzzy semiprime sets of semigroups, and characterize regular semigroups in terms of \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant fuzzy left ideals and \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant fuzzy right ideals. Finally, several characterizations of regular and intra-regular semigroups by the properties of \((\alpha,\beta)\)-hesitant ideals are given.

The Seroprevalence Rates and Approach Management of Brucellosis in Thailand
Authors: Kanitpun Reka , Ekgatat Monaya , Arunvipas Pipat
Published: September 2022

Background: Brucellosis is an important re-emerging zoonosis with worldwide distribution. In Thailand, endemic bovine and caprine brucellosis is a serious public health threat. Brucellosis in cattle and buffalo is primarily due to Brucella abortus while Brucella melitensis predominates in sheep and goats. The main factors maintaining the disease in humans and animals are unhygienic food habits, poor animal husbandry processes, lack of awareness and ineffective surveillance systems. Therefore, prevention of human brucellosis would depend on controlling the disease in livestock. The current study aimed to study the epidemiological situation to develop an effective control strategy. Methods: The estimated seropositivity rates at the herd and animal levels were compiled during 2009-2018. The sera were submitted to the National Institute of Animal Health (NIAH) and the Regional Veterinary Research and Development Centers (VRDCs), where serological tests were performed. The testing used screening based on the Rose Bengal test (RBT) followed by confirmatory tests, the complement fixation test (CFT) and the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA). The data were collected, the proportion of the estimated seropositivity rate was analyzed. The seropositive animals were followed up and specimens were collected for isolation and PCR identification. Result: The results of the accumulated seropositivity rate of the brucellosis of dairy cattle, beef cattle, buffaloes, goats and sheep at the herd level from 2009 to 2018 was 7.12% (95% CI: 6.99-7.26) and the animal level was 0.92% (95% CI: 0.91-0.93). The species identification presented Brucella abortus five isolates, whereas Brucella melitensis presented 31 isolates from the total of 36 isolates. This information of the serological status and Brucella spp., including diagnostics patterns could be used as base data for better managing the prevention and control measures of brucellosis in Thailand and other countries.

Hasil ini juga sesuai dengan data uji sensori, dimana nanas dengan pelapis Variabel M memperoleh nilai rata-rata kesukaan tertinggi untuk parameter aroma, tekstur, warna, rasa, dan total penerimaan.
Explorando la relación entre las funciones ejecutivas y la metacognición: ¿las primeras predicen la segunda?
Authors: Gutierrez Antonio , Montoya Diana
Published: September 2022

El propósito de este artículo es explorar las relaciones empíricas entre las funciones ejecutivas (FE), la conciencia metacognitiva subjetiva —conocimiento de la cognición y regulación de la cognición— y el monitoreo metacognitivo objetivo —precisión absoluta y sesgo absoluto—. Más específicamente, se examinó el efecto predictivo de las FE sobre la metacognición en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios colombianos. Los resultados revelaron que las FE predecían mejor el conocimiento de la cognición subjetivo, pero eran las menos predictivas para la regulación de la cognición subjetiva. Con respecto a las medidas objetivas, las FE predijeron mejor la precisión absoluta del monitoreo. Así mismo, los patrones predictivos a través de la metacognición subjetiva y objetiva diferían, aunque la “selección de refranes” —una FE asociada con la región de la corteza prefrontal anterior del cerebro que mide la capacidad de comprender, comparar y seleccionar respuestas con un sentido figurado— predijo todo, menos el sesgo absoluto del monitoreo. Al final, se discuten las implicaciones para la teoría y la investigación y se dan recomendaciones para la práctica.
Brain-Focused Ultrasound Therapy: Current Applications and Future Prospects
Authors: Botero Felipe Velasquez
Published: September 2022

Interventional therapies to address brain disorders carry out an additional risk due to the central nervous system’s difficult access and intrinsic complexity. Focused ultrasound therapy (FUT) is an incision-free, minimally invasive procedure that employs sound waves to produce either thermal ablation or neuromodulation according to the waveform intensity. Despite the growing evidence of the benefits and advantages of FUT, many of its potential applications have not been explored in their entirety. The mechanism of action of Focused Ultrasound involves the generation of mechanical and thermal effects on the target tissue. Magnetic resonance-guided is the most common method for delivery of FUT in the brain. Most benefits of brain FUT can be attributed to its ability to ablate target tissue or modulate neuronal activity. However, this technology can also be used to open, temporarily and reversibly, the blood-brain barrier to allow the delivery of medications directly to the affected tissue. Currently, there are few FDA-approved brain FUT applications, including the treatment of essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease tremor, and other kinetic disorders. However, several other therapeutic applications are in the early stages of research, such as epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and utilizing FUT for the local delivery of drugs. This review aims to highlight some of the most significant present and future applications of focused ultrasound therapy in neurological conditions. Considering its apparent safety profile and efficacy, this emerging technology could become a feasible therapeutic alternative for multiple nervous system disorders.
La Pedagogía de la Madre Tierra: una propuesta reflexiva a partir de las prácticas y testimonios del sabio indígena Abadio Green Stocel
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Peru, Favaron Pedro
Published: September 2022

This article attempts a philosophical and pedagogical reflection based on an interview that the doctor in education Abadio Green Stocel, of the indigenous Gunadule people and of Panamanian-Colombian nationality, gave to the magazine Luciérnaga-Comunicación, of the Faculty of Audiovisual Communication of the Colombian Polytechnic Jaime Isaza Cadavid and the Faculty of Communication Sciences of the Autonomous University of San Luis de Potosí. The interview was published on the magazine’s YouTube page in 2015. To make a hermeneutic commentary on Dr. Green’s thought, I will begin by contextualizing this pedagogical proposal within the context of what the emergence of indigenous artists, writers, academics, and thinkers who think about modernity from ancestral knowledge means for the academic field. Then, I will quote from the mentioned interview to relate his thinking to other pedagogical conceptions of Dr. Green and to reflections by other authors that allow us to outline what we could call an “indigenous research paradigm” and a “Pedagogy of Mother Earth”. These proposals, far from being limited to the ethnic boundaries of indigenous peoples, contain an alternative message to the hegemonic one, that needs to be heard by the whole humanity.

What if the language of the world were not Globish but translation? This article proposes translation to be the best paradigm for human sciences, exportable to other fields of politics and society. As a know-how with differences, translation provides an articulation between the one and the universal, on the one hand, and diversity or singularities, on the other. Translation helps to think anew the nature-culture relationship, far from any rootedness or nationalism, and it practices a consistent relativism. The author starts from her own experience of the Dictionary of Untranslatables to philosophize in tongues.
Una alternativa epistemológica en el estudio de la ciencia política a través de la hermenéutica analógica
Authors:   Universidad Católica Argentina, Rodríguez Zyska Magalí Alejandra
Published: September 2022

In this paper we seek to approach the theoretical proposal of Mauricio Beuchot, known as analogical hermeneutics, for its subsequent application to political science. His epistemological position will be particularly analyzed, which is regarded as an alternative to the current positivist and postmodern lines of though. The study and research of Politic Science is obstructed due to univocity and equivocity of the prevailing currents, which prevent the development and interpretive understanding of the reality of this discipline. Faced with this, analogical hermeneutics represents a mediating alternative capable of overcoming those obstacles.
O fenômeno das zungueiras, a segregação urbana e a consolidação dos musseques em Luanda, Angola
Authors: André Aurea Bianca Vasconcelos , Luz Vera Santana
Published: September 2022

Este artigo tem como escopo o fenômeno das vendedoras do comércio informal, conhecidas como zungueiras, e  a consolidação de bairros informais no espaço urbano da cidade Luanda, Angola, como dois aspectos da segregação socioespacial. Busca-se entender as dinâmicas urbanas que resultaram no processo de constituição dos musseques e suas transformações territoriais ao longo do tempo e da segregação das zungueiras, ambos como supressão do direito à cidade, mediante aspectos da trajetória que o país percorreu desde o período colonial até a atualidade. Entendendo que a cidade é um campo de constantes disputas e conflitos socioterritoriais, recorre-se a referências sobre os conceitos de circuito inferior e das epistemologias do sul, no sentido de encontrar brechas para o entendimento de possibilidades de autonomia e emancipação.
Financial Exclusion and Poverty Reduction in Benin
Authors: Attoukou Medard , Nchare Karim
Published: September 2022

By analyzing some factors related to the various constraints faced by unbanked individuals, this study explores the determinants associated with individuals without access to common financial services in Benin. It also examines the impact of the lack of access to financial services on poverty using the World Bank’s Global Findex database for 2011, 2014, and 2017. Using a probit model, we found a positive and significant relationship between financial exclusion and lack of documentation, expensive financial services, distance from financial institutions, and lack of trust in financial institutions. Moreover, individual characteristics, such as age, education level, religion, gender, and employment status are significantly associated with financial exclusion. Using a Heckman sample selection model, we show that financial exclusion in Benin has a positive and significant effect on poverty. These results are vindicated using propensity score matching (PSM) for robustness checks.

Published: September 2022

One of the modern methods of improving operating characteristics of titanium and titanium-based alloys under conditions of friction and increased contact loads is the method of ion-plasma nitriding. The effect of nitriding of VT5 alloy (Al 4,5-6,7 %, V to 1,2 %, Mo to 0,8 % − analogue 3.7115) in the plasma of a glow discharge excited in a hollow cathode on its tribological characteristics in pairs with different materials in T-1 fuel and under dry friction conditions has been studied. For research and tribological tests, samples of VT5 alloy were nitrided in the plasma of a glow discharge excited in a hollow cathode at a temperature of 975 ± 15°C and a pressure of 58 ± 2 PA in a nitrogen-argon gas mixture with a nitrogen content of 78 %. Studies of samples of VT5 alloy after nitriding showed that the surface roughness Ra was in the range of 0.58-0.64, and the surface hardness HV5 was 525 ± 20 kgf/mm² at a base hardness of 325 ± 15 kgf/mm². Tribological tests were performed on a friction machine 2070 SMT-1 according to the scheme "cube - roller". Tests under conditions of friction with oil were performed at a load of 200 N. The sliding speed during the tests was 1.3 m/s, the test time was 75 sec. The test under dry friction conditions was carried out at a load of 100 N and a sliding speed of 0.785 m/s, the test time was 30 minutes. Low wear ability in relation to the nitrided titanium alloy VT5 (<2.4x10-4 mm3/s), as well as friction coefficients at the level of 0.08 to 0.12 in the order of their growth had bronze VB-23NTS (Pd 18–22 %, Ni 3–4 %, Zn 3–4 %, Sb 3–4 %, P 0.15–0.3) r.O10C2N3, VB-24 (Sb 4.7–6, 2 %, P 0.4–0.9), steel 1.3505, cast iron GGG80, cemented steel 20Cr3MoWV.
A Review of Europe's Circular Economy in the Building Sector
Authors: Mrad Cyrine , Frölén Ribeiro Luís
Published: September 2022

This article evaluates Europe's building sector's circular economy (CE). This industry is respon-sible for 42% of energy consumption, more than 50% of extracted materials, 30% of Europe's wa-ter and waste generation, and 35% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study focuses on peer-reviewed articles from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Of the first 1750 publications, 2.9% were eligible for a full-text reading and analysis. Most of the trending studies, 92%, pro-mote the circular economy concept through construction materials rather than analyzing the im-pact of the construction sector on the environment and finding solutions for better implementa-tion, and 41% promote recycling and reuse as the only options. New Design solutions are in 12% of the studies, six-fold more than Law and Legislation, only 2%. Finding an optimal combination of assessing the life cycle of buildings and components and searching for different ways of man-aging the Construction and Demolition Waste at end-of-life is between 33% and 39%. Ultimately, one evaluated CE proposed frameworks for the building industry based on 10R principles varia-tions. One presents an alternative framework for a circular strategy for the building industry that focuses on Upcycling, replacing the Recover principle.
Integration of Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2 Data for Crop Classification Improvement: Barley and Wheat as an Example
Authors: Ibrahim Gaylan R. Faqe , Rasul Azad , Abdullah Haidi
Published: September 2022

Observing cultivated crops and other forms of land use is an important environmental and economic concern for agricultural land management and crop classification. Crop categorization offers significant crop management data, ensuring food security, and developing agricultural policies. Remote sensing data, especially publicly available Sentinel 1 and 2 data, has effectively been used in crop mapping and classification in cloudy places because of their high spatial and temporal resolution. This study aimed to improve crop type classification by combining Sentinel-1 (Synthetic Aperture Rader (SAR)) data and the Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument (MSI) data. In the study, Random Forest (RF) and Classification and Regression Trees (CART) classier were used to classify grain crops (Barley and Wheat). The classification results based on the combination of Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 data indicated an overall accuracy (OA) of 93 % and a kappa coefficient (K) of 0.896 for RF and (89.15%, 0.84) for the CART classifier. It is suggested to employ a mix of radar and optical data to attain the highest level of classification accuracy since doing so improves the likelihood that the details will be observed in comparison to the single-sensor classification technique and yields more accurate results.
Polymorphism and Perfection in Crystallization of Hard Sphere Polymers
Authors: Herranz Miguel , Foteinopoulou Katerina , Karayiannis Nikos Ch. , Laso Manuel
Published: September 2022

We present results on the spontaneous crystallization of freely-jointed polymers of hard spheres obtained in an unprecedentedly long Monte Carlo (MC) simulation on a system of 54 chains of 1000 monomers. Starting from a purely amorphous configuration and after a transitory dominance of the hexagonal closed packed (HCP) polymorph, the system crystallizes in a final, stable, face centered cubic (FCC) crystal of very high perfection. Through refined metrics we gauge the degree of ordering and identify the regions of the phase transition and the corresponding morphologies. An analysis of chain conformational characteristics, of the spatial distribution of monomers and of the volume accessible to them shows that the phase transition is caused by an increase in translational entropy that is larger than the loss of conformational entropy of the chains in the crystal compared to the amorphous state. Polymer chains in the crystal adopt ideal random walk statistics as their great length renders local conformational details, imposed by the geometry of the FCC crystal, irrelevant.
