One method is to provide organic fertilizer in the form of compost. rice straw, Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB), and sugarcane bagasse can all be used as compost material. The purpose of this study is to see how different types of agricultural waste compost affect the population of beneficial bacteria such as Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) on maize planting media in Jatinangor. The study was carried out at the screen house of Ciparanje Experimental Garden in Jatinangor District, utilizing a Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments and three replications. The treatments included a control (no treatment) and three dose levels (5 tons.ha-1 , 10 tons.ha-1 , and 15 tons.ha-1 ) of each type of compost (oil palm empty fruit bunch, sugarcane bagasse, and rice straw). The findings revealed that the use of various types of agricultural waste compost influenced the population of Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., and PSB. When compared to the compost treatment of rice straw and bagasse, the application of OPEFB compost at a dose of 15 tons.ha-1 produced a greater population of Azotobacter sp. 106.43 x 107 cfu.g-1 . While the population of Azospirillum sp. increased by 2.20 x 107 cfu.g-1 as a result of the 15 tons.ha-1 compost of OPEFB, the effect was similar to that of rice straw and bagasse compost. PSB population increased at 15 tons.ha-1 of rice straw compost to 3.73 x 104 cfu.g-1 but not different from 15 tons.ha-1 of OPEFB compost. Compost can be used as an environmentally friendly fertilizing alternative to enhance the population of beneficial bacteria in corn growth media and increasing nutrient availability for plants.

With the development of the economy and society and the improvement of living standards, the demand for fresh products is increasing, and the huge demand has driven the rapid growth of fresh products in China. However, fresh products are prone to spoilage and wear, and higher transportation requirements are put forward to ensure product quality. Based on this, the transportation function of cold chain logistics vehicles on farm products cold chain logistics greatly improves the cold chain transportation efficiency of agricultural products. Aiming at the vehicle path problem of cold chain logistics distribution and under multiple refrigerated trucks, a single distribution center, and multiple commodity types, a path optimization model of
cold chain logistics vehicles was established with the optimal evaluation of total distribution cost and distribution vehicles as the objective considering the economy, greenness, and sustainability of vehicles. Then, an evaluation index system of refrigerated trucks consisting of cost index, environmental index and quality index was established, an AHP-TOPSIS (Analytic Hierarchy Process, Technique for Order Preference
by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) evaluation model of refrigerated trucks was constructed, and the comprehensive evaluation value of refrigerated trucks was obtained. On the basis of vehicle evaluation results, the corresponding vehicle path optimization model of agricultural cold chain logistics was established, the large-scale neighborhood search SA algorithm was designed to solve an example, and the
optimization model was compared with the optimization model without considering vehicle evaluation. The experimental results show that considering the vehicle evaluation factors can effectively reduce the distribution cost, and increasing the vehicle evaluation weight can effectively improve the greenness and sustainability of the distribution fleet.

Published: September 2023

Digital transformation is one of the main trends in business development and an indicator of strategic orientation and maturity in the modern economy. The article examines management's main perspectives and problems during diagnostics of the company's readiness for such transformations. Based on the results of scientific research by foreign specialists, the authors identified vital issues that businesses may face at the initial stages of implementing digital transformation projects. The identified problems were ranked according to the significance level for successfully implementing digital transformations. The work substantiates the need to diagnose the company's readiness at the initial stage of digital changes. This allows for identifying existing internal limitations that can become an obstacle to achieving the desired result with a low level of digital maturity. The toolkit is presented for studying cause-and-effect relationships, conducting a more detailed assessment of business readiness for transformations, and developing a transition plan to the desired state of the business system. This will strengthen adjustment methods for favorable conditions of digital changes. The importance of modern principles, practices, and concepts of digital ecosystems is emphasized. The need for constant monitoring and improvement of policies and procedures for diagnosing digital maturity as a business administration component has been updated. Developing an effective diagnostic mechanism should be based on synchronizing digital technologies with strategic planning, considering the resource base, market opportunities, and constraints. Improving the management of business processes of the company's strategy will increase the activation of its internal capabilities and more effective functioning of the information space. During the implementation of digital technologies, it is necessary to evaluate the country's economic development, analyze regulatory and legal support, the availability and strength of financial and labor resources, and the state of information and communication technologies.

Published: September 2023

Software as a Service (SaaS) instances often use edge resources to serve their customers. The version of the service hosted at the edge needs to be periodically updated to maximize the utility derived by the customers. We focus on scheduling updates in the setting where the utility derived from a version is an unknown decreasing function of the time elapsed since the version was created. We map the scheduling problem to a multi-arm bandit and propose an update policy. We characterize its performance and compare it with the fundamental limit on the performance of any online policy.

Authors: Bouras Christos , Gkamas Apostolos , Katsampiris Salgado Spyridon Aniceto
Published: September 2023

Nowadays, IoT has been introduced in different aspects of our lives giving solutions to several problems, one of which is the Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. People that suffer from dementia or people with disease in the autism spectrum tend to elope from their caretaker’s attention, a fact that can lead to serious problems. Thus, a system that takes into consideration of the multiple requirements is of paramount importance. In this paper, a LoRa based SAR system is proposed in order to help in the localization of people with high risk of going missing. In contrast to most of the related systems, in this research article a different approach has been followed. Instead of focusing on the technology, in our approach a human-centered design has been used, leveraging the knowledge of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) domain. Thus, the technologies used, are an outcome of the initial study. Finally, the system is evaluated using heuristic evaluation and questionnaires.

High Electrochemical Performance of a Nanostructured Electrode Material Based on a Cobalt-Manganese Layered Double Hydroxide
Authors: Martins Paulo , Silva Cristiane Garcia , Gonçalves Josué Martins
Published: September 2023

In this work, alpha-cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)2) and cobalt/manganese layered double hydroxide (CoMn-75-LDH) were synthesized using the Tower method. The alpha phase was confirmed for Co(OH)2 through XRD analysis. Furthermore, the TEM images showed that the materials are formed by nanoparticles with an average size of ~5 nm. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements were carried out and the CoMn-75-LDH presented a superior electrochemical behavior to Co(OH)2. The presence of Mn2+/3+ ions in the crystal structure of CoMn-75-LDH, verified by XPS analysis, enhanced the electrical conductivity of the material, providing more electroactive sites, as a result, the electrochemical performance of the material was improved. Electrochemical studies showed that CoMn-75-LDH has a specific capacitance of 677 F g-1 at current density of 0.5 A g-1 compared to Co(OH)2, whose specific capacitance value was 268.7 F g-1 at the same current density. In addition, the electrochemical signature of Co(OH)2 revealed that the electrode material exhibits an extrinsic pseudocapacitive behavior instead of the typical behavior of battery-type materials due to its nanostructured morphology. Also, electrochemical studies showed that the charge storage mechanism for CoMn-75-LDH is controlled by both the capacitive and diffusion process.
Composites of Intrinsically Conducting Polymers with Carbonaceous Materials for Supercapacitors – An Update
Authors: Holze Rudolf
Published: September 2023

Supercapacitors are an important component in the electric energy landscape with rapidly growing impor­tance. Their energy density still does not meet growing expectations. For improvements optimization of al­ready established materials as well as new materials in electrodes and in electrolyte (solutions) are required. To compensate or correct drawbacks and flaws of a given material – whether new or already established – combina­tion with a second one, i.e. formation of a composite, is a helpful and popular option. Carbon in its many forms is an established supercapacitor electrode material with only limited charge storage capability; intrinsi­cally conducting polymers show promising storage capabilities but limited stability and electronic conductiv­ity. Adding carbons to these polymers has been a popular recipe rather early, but a systematic survey of these combinations with attention to the type of carbon, of polymer, of their relative fractions and the elec­trode architecture has indicated major room for improvements. This update presents representative examples, fol­lows lines of reasoning and searches for conclusions from already available results. It ends with suggestions for further research and development.

Increasing demand for engineered Nanomaterial (ENMs) that have been widely applied in plant systems, for the improvement of quality, development, growth, nutritive value, and gene preservation. The uptake, translocation, biotransformation, and the associated perils of application of Nanomaterial in the crops demand a much deeper understanding of the biochemical, physiological, and molecular mechanisms of the florae in relation to nanoparticles (NPs). Interaction between different plant parts and NPs resulted in various changes in physiology, morphology, and genotoxicity, indicating positive as well as negative feedback by NMs over the various mechanisms of the plants and their species. NMs may open new and safer opportunities for smart delivery of biomolecules and new strategies in plant genetic engineering, with the final aim to enhance plant defense and/or stimulate plant growth and development and, ultimately, crop production. This review summarizes the current understanding and the future possibilities of research relevant to plant-nanoparticles integrations.

The vector of social development or the vector of social degradation. Project to create cybernetic transhumanity in the New World Order
Authors: Matveev Vladimir
Published: September 2023

In accordance with the requirements of the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation to save the people of Russia and develop human potential, an analysis of the management of the Global historical process was carried out and criteria for assessing socio-economic development/degradation in each historical era were formulated.

In order to assess the quality of the person himself and the process of his improvement, the formation of the basis of his behavior, the concept of the structure of the psyche is formulated and a model of the process of personality development is proposed. A method for assessing the quality of social management is given both from the point of view of consistency within civilizational management, and from the standpoint of management stability in relation to the global evolutionary process of the Earth's biosphere.

The intention of the globalists to transform the person himself and the algorithms of his social behavior in the process of establishing the New World Order is analyzed. The goals and objectives of the New Age movement are analyzed as a system of compilation of many religious and secular cults, programs of their actions.

As part of the hybrid war, the idea of globalists is presented on the ephemeral merging of biology and technology, the transformation of the “body/mind system” with the digital infrastructure of the world economy. The technology of using brain-computers to change human culture, creating wearable devices for hacking brain waves is demonstrated. The introduced technologies for the transition from human potential to social potential, the globalization of transhumanism of neurofeedback are illustrated.

The convergence of some forecasts of globalists for today and their forecasts for the future is presented. Some recommendations are formulated to ensure the national security of the Russian Federation on the basis of the state policy for the preservation and strengthening of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.

l perfil cultural, distribución de poros por tamaño, textura y análisis de caracterización química. Los sistemas modales producto del uso y manejo del suelo identificados para la zona fueron: sistema bosque secundario, sistema pradera mejorada, sistema arroz barbacho, sistema arroz con pastoreo de soca, sistema de lotes abandonados, sistema de arroz en monocultivo por 10 años y sistema de arroz em monocultivo por 20 años. Con las variables evaluadas, se encontró una mayor degradación de suelos en los sistemas de arroz en monocultivo por 10 y 20 años y lotes abandonados. Al evaluar los resultados de la caracterización física se encontró que los valores más contrastantes y que sirvieron para diferenciar claramente los sistemasmencionados, determinando diferentes niveles de degradación física fueron: infiltración, conductividad hidráulica, densidad aparente, porosidad total, distribución de poros por tamaño y resistencia a la penetració El cultivo del arroz, tradicionalmente, permanece la mayor parte de su ciclo biológico con inundación y manifiesta una elevada adaptabilidad a dichas condiciones, por lo tanto, para su producción se utiliza una gran cantidad de agua de riego. La investigación se realizó con el objetivo identificar volúmenes de agua óptimos a partir de cuatro volúmenes de riego (8.000, 16.000, 24.000 y 32.0000 m3/ha/ciclo) y analizar el comportamiento de la variedad Fedearroz-67. La aplicación de 16.000 m3/ha/ciclo presentó un rendimiento de 8.743 kg/ha, siendo estadísticamente igual a los rendimientos obtenidos con la aplicación de volúmenes superiores de 24.000 y 32.000 m3/ha, pero superando al tratamiento de 8.000 m3/ha /ciclo en el 40%.  Los mayores porcentajes de vaneamiento, se presentaron con el nivel más bajo de aplicación de riego. El macollamiento y el número de panículas alcanzaron los mayores valores con la aplicación de 32.000 m3/ha/ciclo. El tratamiento con un volumen de aplicación de 16.000 m3/ha/ciclo permite tener los mayores márgenes de rentabilidad y un ahorro de agua de más del 50% con respecto a los volúmenes comúnmente utilizados por los agricultores de la zona el cual es de 30.000 a w35.000m3/ha/ciclo.  Así, el agua ahorrada pudiera incrementar el área bajo riego en un 25 % para el cultivo del arroz, o en 6.300 ha en cultivos de secano manejado con mojes.

The use of aerosol catalyst in the flame synthesis of carbon nanotube (CNT) is known to yield single-walled CNT (SWCNT) that is useful for various applications. Modelling works are needed to optimize operating conditions for SWCNT growth but are unavailable. Therefore, a baseline model for the aerosol-catalyst system in flames is developed and the effect of oxygen on SWCNT growth is investigated. A baseline flame model for a normal diffusion flame with 24% oxygen concentration at the inlet is established via Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation. A dispersed phase model (DPM) is employed to simulate the entrainment of catalyst particles. The flame model is coupled with a published CNT growth rate model to predict the CNT growth rate at each particle. Inlet oxygen concentration is varied from 19% to 27% to study the effect of oxygen on SWCNT growth. Satisfactory validation of the baseline flame shape and temperature is established. Results show that particle 3 for the baseline case yields the highest CNT length compared to other particles due to the suitable path for the synthesis. The particles are classified based on the shortest time residence, moderate and longest time residence. Increasing oxygen concentration from 19% to 27% results in a 30% decrease in CNT length for particle 3 for each inlet condition due to lower carbon precursor and composition in the flame. Furthermore, the results showed that regardless of burner operating conditions, high SWCNT growth is consistently predicted between 120-140 mm HAB, which indicates the existence of an optimum range of species concentration for SWCNT growth in aerosol-based flame synthesis. Thus, it can be inferred that SWCNT growth in the aerosol–based method is highly dependent on carbon source and moderately dependent on temperature
