THE ROLE OF MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZE ENTERPRISES (MSMEs) IN ECONOMIC GROWTH – DOES IT MATTER?
Authors: ABUHATAB ABEDRABBOH
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the impact of micro, small, and medium size enterprises (MSMEs) on economic growth in Jordan, using the number of employees of each size (micro, small, and medium) as a measure of the prevalence of MSMEs. The study is applied to nine economic sectors to examine if the productivity of these MSMEs contribute to Jordanian economic growth measured by the sectoral real GDP per capita growth over the period 1992 to 2015. Using pooled OLS, fixed effect, and random effect methods, the results show micro, small, and medium size enterprises have insignificant impact on the GDP per capita growth. The results are robust to using alternative measure of sectoral economic growth. The results suggest that some obstacles may impede MSMEs to have real impact on Jordanian economy.
Water pervious capacity of seeds of some Cassia species in relation to waxy deposition on their seed surface
Authors: Sahai Kanak
Published: May 2024

Seeds of ten species of Cassia L. were studied for their water permeability capacity in relation to their micromorphology. It was observed that in Cassia, waxy deposition on the seed surface and water imperviousness were not always correlated significantly with each other. Seeds of some species having thick waxy deposition on their surface also had the same response towards permeability to water as observed in the species with the seeds of without waxy deposition after a short period of soaking in water at room temperature. Out of ten, the water pervious capacity of the seeds of seven species, i.e. Cassia glauca, C. javanica, C. mimosoides, C. nodosa, C. obovata, C. pumila and C. siamea was directly proportional to the presence and absence of waxy deposition on their seed surface. This nature of seeds may be useful in assessing germination capacity of forest tree species.

Melanin nanoparticles scavenging reactive oxygen and nitrogen radicals for rheumatoid arthritis treatment
Authors: Lang Zekun
Published: May 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex and chronic disease that often causes long-term pain and joint swelling in patients, and even causes joint deformity and dysfunction. The pathogenesis of this disease involves abnormal activity of the immune system, causing immune cells to attack the bodys joint tissues, which triggers an inflammatory response. During these inflammatory processes, the accumulation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is considered to be one of the key factors that aggravate inflammation and damage joint tissues. To address this problem, we designed a method that takes advantage of the targeting properties of melanin nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have excellent biocompatibility, can remain stable in the body, and can be accurately targeted to the site of inflammation. In addition, these nanoparticles also have strong free radical scavenging ability, which can effectively neutralize excessive RONS, reduce the inflammatory response and weaken joint tissue damage. The promise of this treatment strategy is encouraging and offers new hope for patients with RA. By reducing inflammation, protecting joint tissue, and possibly even reversing the disease process to some extent, this melanin nanoparticle holds great promise.
High throughput screening of thermal interface materials by machine learning
Authors: Wu Tengtao
Published: May 2024

Till now, it remains a challenge for effective prediction and screening of novel materials with high thermal conductivity, as well as further optimization of the interface thermal resistance. Normally, people have to spend long time on tedious calculations when predicting and screening these materials. In this paper, I combined machine learning with molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the thermal conductive properties of materials with the aim of significantly reducing computational consumption. I first applied molecular dynamics simulations to obtain the relevant properties of materials, then generated models for predicting physical properties by machine learning, and finally made predictions of thermophysical properties of materials. The use of machine learning significantly reduces the prediction time compared to direct molecular dynamics simulations. Especially when the XGBoost and the neural network models are employed, the prediction efficiency is significantly improved. This work guides a new way for the future screening of high-performance thermal interface materials.
Research on the assessment of technical methods to suppress auger recombination
Authors: Chu Fansong
Published: May 2024

Human demand for fossil fuels has reached a very high level. However, fossil energy stocks are limited and, more importantly, their impact on the environment is increasing. The exploration of clean energy is particularly important. Among all the clean energy sources, solar energy is a very promising and important alternative to fossil fuels. And one of the primary reasons for the failure of solar photovoltaic cells to achieve rapid development is the generation of Auger composite. In order to provide support to solve this problem or facilitate the follow-up of researchers, this paper summarizes several effective methods such as Interfacial Engineering and Gradient Alloying to solve the Auger recombination problem in multi-exciton photovoltaic cells through reading and comparing a large number of relevant authoritative literature. The two methods mentioned above suppress Auger recombination by applying a new type of MXene (Nb2CTX-MXene) to the interface of SnO2 layers to pssivate the interfacial defects and promote charge transport and to generate InAs/CdSe core/shell QDs, overcoating InAs QDs with a lattice-matched CdSe shell. Comparing a large number of pieces of literature, it is found that the above two methods have guiding effects in improving the efficiency of photovoltaic cells.

Decoupling economic growth from carbon emissions: How have Chinese provinces performed in green growth over time?
Authors: Mai Sheungying
Published: May 2024

Extensive research has shown that it is essential to take environmental responsibilities into careful consideration in economic development. Green growth has thereby become one of the most important topics in environmental economics across the globe no matter people are from academia, public, or private sectors. Even though there are many researchers who have investigated the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution, the vast majority of research has only focused on the absolute amount of economic growth and carbon emissions. In this study, utilizing national statistics about gross domestic product and carbon emissions by region over decades, I not only provide a concrete and comprehensive picture of the green growth of Chinese provinces over time, but also present multiple indicators to capture the growth of carbon emissions and gross domestic product, as well as the growth rate of green growth. The results show that, in spite of a high GDP growth rate, the green growth rate was negative because the carbon emissions growth rate was much higher than the rate of GDP growth. This work has shed some light regarding how Chinese provinces can balance between high economic growth and low carbon emissions in order to have a more sustainable and environment-friendly development path.

С проблемой распространения экотоксикантов сталкиваются практически все регионы нашей страны, но именно субъекты с высоким индексом промышленного производства могут стать репрезентативной площадкой для разработки методологической базы эколого-фармакогностической оценки качества лекарственного растительного сырья с учетом особенностей и закономерностей накопления в нем не только экотоксикантов, но и биологически активных веществ. Целью исследования являлось изучение особенностей накопления полисахаридов в пересчете на фруктозу в корнях лопуха обыкновенного синантропной флоры Ростовской области. Изучение растительного сырья, заготовленного в придорожной зоне исследуемых автомагистралей, показало наличие прямой зависимости по увеличению содержания полисахаридов при увеличении расстояния от транспортных магистралей. По данным исследованиям можно сделать вывод, что умеренное воздействие неблагоприятных факторов оказывает угнетающее воздействие на синтез полисахаридов в лекарственном растительном сырье, снижая их содержание в сырье практически в 2 раза, в некоторых случаях, но не ниже минимального показателя, установленного Государственной Фармакопеей. Полученные результаты коррелируют с результатами исследований, проведенных ранее в идентичных условиях в Воронежской области, что позволяет судить о выявлении закономерности в ингибировании синтеза биологически активных веществ в различных условиях произрастания растений.

Almost all regions of our country face the problem of the spread of ecotoxicants, but it is precisely subjects with a high industrial production index that can become a representative platform for developing a methodological base for ecological and pharmacognostic assessment of the quality of medicinal plant raw materials, taking into account the peculiarities and patterns of accumulation of not only ecotoxicants in it, but also biologically active substances. The purpose of the study was to study the peculiarities of the accumulation of polysaccharides in terms of fructose in the roots of burdock of the common synanthropic flora of the Rostov region. The study of plant raw materials harvested in the roadside zone of the studied highways showed a direct dependence on the increase in polysaccharide content with an increase in distance from the highways. According to these studies, it can be concluded that the moderate effect of adverse factors has an inhibitory effect on the synthesis of polysaccharides in medicinal plant raw materials, reducing their content in raw materials by almost 2 times, in some cases, but not lower than the minimum value established by the State Pharmacopoeia. The obtained results correlate with the results of studies conducted earlier in identical conditions in the Voronezh region, which makes it possible to judge the detection of a pattern in inhibition of the synthesis of biologically active substances in various conditions of plant growth.

Purpose: Students are a risk group for myopia progression because of their intensive levels of near work. This study aimed to evaluate the progression of myopia in Caucasian students over a period of two years. Material and Methods: In a prospective multivariate longitudinal design over a period of two years, data from both eyes of 84 subjects (mean age = 23.7 ± 3.7 years; mean spherical equivalent = −2.01 ± 2.52 D) were randomized for statistical analysis. Axial length, non-cycloplegic refraction and corneal refractive power were measured using the Myopia Master (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Germany). Additionally, data on near phoria, accommodation, outdoor activity, daily time with near work, and refractive influences were collected. Results: The subjects showed a statistically significant increase in axial length from baseline mean 23.98 ± 1.19 mm by 0.067 ± 0.025 mm ( = 0.010). The objective spherical equivalent (baseline mean = −2.01 ± 2.52 D) showed no statistically significant shift towards myopia (p = 0.113). In the moderate myopic subgroup, 40.0 %, 50.0 %, and 10.0 % showed axial myopia and refractive myopia of the crystalline lens or cornea, respectively. The main reasons for myopia progression were an increase in axial length (51.3 %), a change in refractive power of the lens (41.0 %), and a change in refractive power of the cornea (7.7 %). Near phoria and progression of myopia were correlated (p = 0.033). All other parameters were within the normal range and did not show a correlation with the progression of myopia. Conclusion: The risk group of Caucasian students showed neither a clinically relevant increase in axial length of the eye nor a change in objective spherical equivalent towards myopia over a period of two years. Nevertheless, the change in the refractive power of the crystalline lens is supposed to be an important factor for myopia progression, in addition to the change in axial length.

In present paper, thermal simulation of LTCC based micro-chamber has been performed which is a key part of RT-PCR device. The RT-PCR device plays an important role in SARS-CoV-2 testing. The rRT-PCR system requires three different thermal cycles for DNA amplification which takes part in detection of SARS-CoV-2. The thermal cycle can be equipped using a heater structure in the chamber. A new LTCC based technique to develop micro-chamber has been designed and simulation has been performed using COMSOL to optimize thermal properties. Temperature distribution for  a micro-chamber at three different voltages has been simulated. The temperature distribution is more uniform in  micro-chamber with a buried metallic layer in comparision to micro-chamber without a metallic layer. The heater and temperature sensor were located outside the reaction chamber. A platinum based pattern as PTC temperature sensor is used in temperature measurement.
A New 8D Lorenz-like Hyperchaotic System: Computer Modelling, Circuit Design and Arduino Uno Board Implementation
Authors: Kopp M. , Kopp A.
Published: May 2024

This paper presents the construction of Matlab-Simulink and LabView models for a novel nonlinear dynamic system of equations in an eight-dimensional (8D) phase space. The Lyapunov exponent spectrum and Kaplan-York dimension were calculated with fixed parameters of the 8D dynamical system. The presence of two positive Lyapunov exponents indicates hyperchaotic behavior. The fractional Kaplan-York dimension shows the fractal structure of strange attractors. An adaptive controller was used to stabilize the 8D chaotic system with unknown system parameters, and an active control method was derived to achieve global chaotic synchronization of two identical 8D chaotic systems with unknown system parameters. Using the results from Matlab-Simulink and LabView models, a chaotic signal generator for the 8D chaotic system was implemented in the Multisim environment. The simulation results of chaotic behavior in the Multisim environment demonstrate similar behavior compared to simulation results from Matlab-Simulink and LabView models. To visualize the new 8D chaotic system, we employed an Arduino Uno board along with eight light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Furthermore, we demonstrated the capability to simulate the new 8D chaotic system in the Proteus 8 environment using the Arduino Uno microcontroller. This advancement in the understanding and implementation of chaotic systems opens doors to numerous possibilities in the realm of secure communication and control systems.

Dogs are one of the pets that have a close relationship with humans, due to various factors including following the word, easy to be a human playmate, and even being docile to live with humans. However, in dog keeping, disease-related problems for dogs are harmful, not only to them but also to their owners. Difficult situations in obtaining treatment also often occur, where due to the distance of the veterinary clinic, the limited number of animal specialist clinics and the owner's desire to carry out the treatment on his own. Therefore, advanced technology needs to be introduced in diagnosing and giving recommendations to dog owners for first aid in providing fast and appropriate treatment to dogs. Therefore, here an expert mobile system-based application is introduced, that uses a decision tree classification method and a forward chaining algorithm. The application was tested for user acceptance using a Likert scale that yielded 94.4% for the ease of understanding the application, 92% for the ease of use of the application, 88% for the accuracy of providing information about symptoms and diseases, 93.6% for the attractiveness of the application display and 92.8% for the benefits for application users.
