New Approach for Estimation of Zonal Efficiency of Air Exchange Organization
Authors: Dovhaliuk Volodymyr , Mileikovskyi Viktor , . .
Published: July 2024

Energy efficiency of buildings is dependent on air exchange organization. There are different methods for efficiency estimation of it. As it is shown in literature review, they have significant limitations including non-obvious physical meaning, which cause problems in validation of the results. Certain of them are not acceptable for zonal ventilation in rooms. Previous authorâ€™s work introduces new approach for the efficiency estimation of air exchange in a single-zone or multi-zonal rooms, which has obvious physical meaning â€“ relation of demands and supplied potentials. It provides the efficiency value for whole room only. In this work, by the similar approach, a method is proposed for estimation of zonal air exchange efficiency in different kind of rooms for each occupied zone separately. Additional definitions are introduced for the parameters and demands estimation in each occupied zone. The example of efficiency estimation of air exchange in a museum room with constant air volume system of air conditioning is solved. Sheltering of the keeping zone is recommended for the maximum air exchange efficiency.Â Â

Improving Bank Transparency in Assessing Financial Stability of Ukraineâ€™s Banking System
Authors: Ptashchenko Liana , Volkova Nelia , Volkova Valeriia
Published: July 2024

The paper focuses on solving the problem of banks transparency in assessing financial stability of Ukraineâ€™s banking system under economic instability. The financial crisis in the country calls for developing a methodology supply for assessing financial stability of both individual banks and the banking system as a whole. We believe that the methodical tool for studying the financial activity of a banking institution should provide a bank with the opportunity for a long-term development rather than for the coming years. This is a priority task of a bank because under unstable economic development the reliability of a bank decreases as well as its competitiveness and adaptability to the internal and external destabilizing factors. The topicality of the issue is determined by the fact that increasing financial sustainability is one of the important measures, the quality of which predetermines banksâ€™ financial results. Presented are results of the statistics study which characterize the development of the modern banking system. It is ascertained that within asymmetry of information the transparency level is critical in assessing financial stability of banks which is still given poor consideration in our country. The authors believe that the use of the suggested tool for determining banksâ€™ transparency level in bankâ€™s operation will help impartially assess its transparency level, will promote the development of channels of information disclosure to external users. It is rationalized that effective banking activity in Ukraine can ensure the recovery of the financial sector and restore the growth rates of the real sector of the countryâ€™s economy. The authorsâ€™ concept of increasing banksâ€™ transparency in assessing financial stability of the Ukrainian banking system proves that it is the basic condition for maintaining bankâ€™s favorable potential and effective performance. For the first time systematized are the characteristic features of transparency when analysing the transparency of the banking system as a whole. Distinguished is the expediency of using a certain set of tools and information disclosure channels in implementing the mechanism of transparency at different levels of the banking system. A conclusion is made that it is necessary to increase the transparency of banks in assessing the financial stability of the banking system of Ukraine, namely: ensuring information transparency of the bank will help to increase the confidence of market participants and provide an opportunity for the bank to expand its resource base, increase income and profits.Â Â Â

Published: July 2024

To confirm the author's hypothesis about what the negative impact on the state of the national economy have not so much economic or political factors, but latent character factors. The influence of latent factors on macroeconomic processes is considered. Many factors influence the state of the national economy of Ukraine, where it is possible to consider an extended reproduction of shadow financial relations in the country. The main issue of shadowing the financial cash-flows lies in use of financial institutions, especially banks, insurance companies, stock brokers, credit groups to inefficiently withdraw funds, to evade taxes and to avoid legalization of profit, earned through crime. The terms of management put forward the objective necessity of the study of the latent factors that hinder the economic convergence of Ukraine with the standards of the leading developed countries, particularly in Europe. The research of scientific publications on problems, materials s of rating organizations and statistics data has allowed the authors to suggest synergetic idea of combining the processes of state management and social self-organization optimally, the necessity to involve scientists and society to develop implement and monitor methods of anti-corruption, as the main threat to economic security and further development of Ukraineâ€™s national economy.To achieve the purpose the complex of general scientific and special methods was used: abstract logical, monographic, induction and deduction, theoretical generalization and systematization â€“ to determine and generalize theoretical and methodological foundations of latent management as a systemic factor of shadow economy; the semantic method was to define the terms; dynamic methods and comparative analysis, Pareto, expert assessments were used to confirmation of the dominant negative influence of latent factors on the national economy.Forming the conceptual methods of mitigation of the impact of destructive latent management in the shadow sector on the national economy of Ukraine.Forming the perception about the influence of latent management as a destructive factor on the stability of existence of negative factors in the national economy of Ukraine, that is a barrier of economic convergence to the EU.Â Â

Published: July 2024

The effects of corrosion behavior and interfacial contact resistance (ICR) of sputtered chromium carbonitride (CrCN) on SUS 316L are investigated. The corrosion behavior of CrCN coatings as potential bipolar plates in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are studied by potentiodynamic tests in 0.5 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with a scan rate of 1 mV/S. The ICR values are measured to evaluate electrical conductivity. The surface topography and roughness are monitored by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the surface features of CrCN coatings that correspond to the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis. The diffraction peak of CrCN has a current density (Icorr) of 0.1 ÂµA cmâ€’2 and ICR of 2.12 mÎ© cmÂ² at 80 ÂºC after the coated 316L is polarized. The formed metal nitrides and carbides possess prominent physical and chemical properties, such as superconductivity, high hardness, high melting points, high electrical conductivity and good corrosion resistance. Favorable factors are observed in CrCN of Sample C with 150 W and 80 min deposition that resists corrosion either at the anode or cathode side in the PEMFC. Coating materials using CrCN are proposed to improved bipolar plates, to achieve the single cell performance in PEMFCs.Â Â

Although Morocco is at the beginning of developing this type of activity and the necessary infrastructure associated with it, many initiatives have emerged thanks to social entrepreneurs acting in this direction. These entrepreneurs have demonstrated their ability to provide effective solutions to a wide range of economic, social and environmental issues. It is not just about creating for profitable businesses with social goals, but about building an entrepreneurial spirit and inspiring young people, especially women, to find innovative solutions to the daily problems they face.Â In order to measure the satisfaction and expectations of social entrepreneurs in the dynamism of the social and solidarity economy, we conducted a survey, through various regional territorial indicators, of the potentialities and constraints experienced by the region of Casablanca- Settat (Morocco).Â The objective of this study is to develop a barometer of social and territorial entrepreneurship, to build confidence in social entrepreneurs as to their ability to solve major societal problems. The survey revealed limited knowledge of social entrepreneurship among the general public. Recognition of their impact by the various stakeholders remains a major challenge to be addressed in order to better publicize the action of social entrepreneurs at a territorial and national level.

This communication studies the social performance (SP). We were able to build an explanatory model that identifies the determinants of the use of SP indicators and spot the real motivation of the company to use them as a control device and Management: Is it to meet a need for effectiveness and efficiency, or rather to have greater legitimacy? The first category of assumptions is related to the contingent theory. These assumptions explain the use of Social indicators for the company's willingness to be more effective and efficient. The second category of assumptions is related to neo-institutional theory. These assumptions explain the use of Social indicators by the willingness of the company to sit its legitimacy in its institutional environment and, above all, to have the confidenceÂ Â

The main objective of this paper is to discuss the behavior of the flocs formed during chromium (III) removal tests by electrocoagulation with iron electrode, through zeta potential measurements. The potential zeta is measured on chromium synthetic solutions and on the real tannery effluent previously treated by electrocoagulation. The effects of operating parameters such as time, potential electrolysis and pH on the zeta potential have been investigated. The obtained results show two different behaviors of the flocs in real tannery effluent and chromium synthetic solutions. Furthermore, the mechanism of electrocoagulation is elucidated.Â Â

Published: July 2024

A newly fabricated microfiltration membrane was used to evaluate the effect of polysulfone concentration on salt rejection for seawater. The material chosen in this study was polysulfone (PSF). The dope formulation was gathered from past researches via literature review. The gathered formulation were 10:89:1, 15:84:1, 20:79:1 and 25:74:1 based on weight to weight percentage (wt%) for PSF:NMP:PVP composition. The formulations were named as PSF1, PSF2, PSF3 and PSF4. The membranes were fabricated by using dry wet phase inversion method with pneumatically control flat sheet systems. The membranes were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to understand the morphology and surface pore size. 25 liters of seawater was collected from Port Dickson beach in Malaysia to evaluate water flux and salt rejection for each membrane sample. SEM images result shows that membrane pore size decreases by PSF1 > PSF2 > PSF4 > PSF3. PSF1 have the highest pore size ranging from 1.83 Î¼m to 2.57 Î¼m. Meanwhile, PSF3 have the lowest pore size among all samples used, which is 273 nm â€“ 542 nm. Cross sectional structure shows fingerlike structure and skin layers developing on the membrane. Water flux test shows a decrement from PSF1 > PSF2 > PSF3 > PSF4. The highest water flux was recorded at 12.5 l/m2.hr, and the lowest was at 1.1 l/m2.hr. For salt rejection, PSF4 recorded the highest rejection of 62% while PSF1 recorded the lowest rejection, which is 10.5%. This shows that the increment of polysulfone concentration in membrane solution would decrease water flux while increasing water rejection at the same time. The best membrane formulation in this research is PSF2 with PSF:NMP:PVP at 15:84:1.Â

Risk factors are unique in every of the construction projects are facing today. This research is conducted to identify and assess the relative importance of the significant risk factors contributing to cost and time overrun in oil and gas construction project in Yemen. Usually, construction projects affected by risk factors during the project lifecycle, without identifying and classify of this risks the project cannot be succeeded, in this paper, the project players, i.e. clients, contractor, consultant, project managers and engineers are taken for a survey to obtain the impact and probability of risk factors. The research aimed to identify the principal risks which effect on success of construction projects, to set the correct risk respond we should know the ranking of risks base on its impact and probability of occurs, in this paper we will use relative important index method (RII) and Spearmanâ€™s rank correlation between the risks for analysis questionnaire responses. As a result of the research, external risk factors are the most influential in the oil sector construction projects in Yemen and project management risk factors are the most influential among the internal risk factors.Â
