Traceability of Architectural Design Decisions and Software Artifacts: A Systematic Mapping Study
Authors: Hyun Santiago , Hurtado Julio Ariel
Published: December 2023

The definition of architecture is a crucial task in software development, where the architect is responsible for making the right decisions to meet specific functional and quality requirements. These architectural design decisions form the foundation that shapes the arrangement of elements within a system. Unfortunately, these decisions are often poorly documented, implicit in various artifacts, or inadequately updated, leading to negative consequences on the maintainability of a system and resulting in rework and cost overruns. The objective of this systematic mapping study is to comprehend the current state regarding approaches for traceability of architectural design decisions and how these decisions are linked with the different artifacts used in software development. To achieve this, an information extraction protocol is followed, utilizing databases with search strings, inclusion, and exclusion criteria. The findings demonstrate that this knowledge is highly relevant; however, it is rarely explicitly documented. As a result, most works propose diverse approaches to extract this knowledge from existing technical documentation, commonly used tools, and other sources of product and process information. In contrast, it is evident that there is no standard for documenting design decisions, leading each author to present a subjective version of what is important and where to trace these decisions. This suggests that there is still a significant amount of research to be conducted regarding the traceability of these architectural design decisions and their connection with software artifacts. Such research could lead to intriguing new proposals for investigation.

Authors: Sackmann Andrea , Brown Kristelle , Formanowicz Piotr , Morgan Kevin , Kalsheker Noor , Garibaldi Jon M. , Błażewicz Jacek
Published: December 2023

DNA computing is a highly interdisciplinary field which combines molecular operations with theoretical algorithm design. A number of algorithms have been demonstrated in DNA computing, but to date network flow problems have not been studied. We aim to provide an approach to calculate the value of the maximum flow in networks by encoding the mathematical problem in DNA molecules and by using molecular biology techniques to manipulate the DNA. We present results which demonstrate that the algorithm works for an example network problem.

This paper presents the first application of DNA computing to network-flow problems. The presented algorithm has a linear time complexity where the calculation itself is done in a constant number of steps.
The Social Theology of Spiru Haret*
Authors: Moldovan Ionel
Published: December 2023

This study aims to display a less known part of Spiru Haret’s activity: his vision and efforts for reforming the activity of the Romanian Orthodox Church. Alongside its traditional, Liturgical activity, Haret proposed a larger involvement of the clergy in the social problems of their communities. Therefore, alongside school teachers, the priests had the duties of establishing and/or supporting local associations, clubs and committees active in domains like education, morals, culture, hygiene and even economics. The aim of Haret’s initiative was to modernise Romanian society by raising its culture, morality and financial independence, especially for the peasants, who constituted the huge majority of the Romanian pre-war society. According to his perspective, the mission of the Church couldn’t be limited just to its theological and liturgical spectrums, as it should also target the extra-liturgical environment in which the parishioners lived their earthly lives.
Overview of Solar Photovoltaic Applications for District Heating and Cooling
Authors: Sukumaran Sreenath , Laht Janika , Volkova Anna
Published: December 2023

With the prevalent energy crisis and climate changes, decarbonising energy sector has become the need of the hour. An environmentally friendly way is the utilisation of solar energy which mainly involves the deployment of photovoltaic (PV) and/or solar thermal technology. Unlike electricity generation, the application of photovoltaics for the district heating & cooling (DHC) is relatively new. Also, this energy route is yet to be fully explored. This paper aims to provide an overview of the photovoltaic applications in the context of DHC sector. At first, the utilisation of solar energy in the DHC sector is briefly described and then the review of the available literature is carried out. It was understood that PV integration in the district heating and/or district cooling system can take place in different topologies such as PV technology, energy storage, and system configuration (centralized/distributed). On one side, this technology options support design flexibility based on local scenarios (i.e., climatic conditions, building types, energy cost). On the other side, selecting the best configuration remains a challenging task for design and planning engineers. The research database on the studied topic needs to be enhanced, with a focus on PV’s role in district cooling (DC). It is deduced that right technical and economic boundary conditions in the chosen region is important for the accelerated photovoltaic integration. Also, lower environmental impact throughout the whole life cycle of solar PV integrated DHC system is reported. PV assisted DC systems have the potential to revolutionize cooling sector, especially in the places where daytime electricity costs are high. Based on the SWOT analysis, it is concluded that there is an enormous opportunity for PV integration in the DHC sector with the upgradations in DH networks, developing DC networks and rising adoption of HPs. This overview is expected to be beneficial to researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders of district energy sector.
Different Demographic Pathways of the Post-Socialist Transition: Mortality Trends in Croatia and Slovenia during COVID-19
Authors: Matassi Vera Graovac , Josipovič Damir
Published: December 2023

The paper discusses the COVID-19 mortality in Slovenia and Croatia in 2020 and 2021. The aim of the paper is to determine similarities and differences in mortality trends during COVID-19 period and to discuss the underlying causes and consequences. It is hypothesised that the unfavourable age structure of both countries was a catalyst of the excess mortality differentials, and that the different paths of post-socialist transitions significantly contributed to differential mortality in 2020. The analyses confirmed a biased effect of the excess mortality indicator, which is applicable only if supported with sufficient attributive data. Moreover, findings confirmed the hypothesis that COVID-19 mortality largely contributed to overall mortality in Slovenia in 2020, particularly due to the increased mortality in long-term care facilities (LTCF) which was about 70% higher compared to that of Croatia.
Diaspora and Diasporisation: Slovene National Identity in the Contemporary Globalised World
Authors: Pahor Marija Jurić
Published: December 2023

After a brief presentation of the history of the concept of diaspora and its derivatives, and a critical review of the relevant literature, the article explores the phenomenon of diasporic Sloveneness, with a particular focus on the contemporary Slovenian diaspora. The concept encompasses, but is not limited to, Slovenes and members of Slovene national communities (with an emphasis on Carinthian and Trieste Slovenes) who have dispersed around the world since Slovenia’s independence in 1991. The author concludes that the contemporary Slovene diaspora consists mainly of young, highly educated people who are actively striving to establish themselves in the global world. Even though they have emigrated from their country of origin, they remain - especially through modern communication technologies - connected to it. The article provides an insight into the complex and multifaceted process of diasporic grouping and long-distance nationalism, which also includes processes of transculturation and sheds light on Slovene national identity in the contemporary globalised world.

Authors: Da Silva João Lucas Alves , Ribeiro Vinícius de Oliveira , Diodato Jonailce Oliveira , Corrêa Nelison Ferreira
Published: December 2023

Objective: To analyze Rural Environmental Cadastres (CAR) of 126 properties in two microbasins with gullies and ravines, aiming to assess the effectiveness of the Forest Code in post-promulgation environmental conservation.
 
Theoretical framework: The urgent need for monitoring stands out amid pressure on Permanent Preservation Areas (PPA) and Legal Reserves (LR). CAR and the application of geotechnologies play a crucial role in environmental analysis and preservation.
 
Method: It consisted of the temporal analysis of land use and vegetation cover to determine any significant changes attributable to the new legislation.
 
Results and conclusion: The results reveal stability in land use and cover over 12 years, with predominant agricultural use and inadequacies in LR in over half of the properties. PPAs indicate better compliance but reveal challenges in self-declaration. Despite the Forest Code, there are obstacles in implementation, requiring improvements in rural oversight and awareness.
 
Research implications: This study highlights challenges in Forest Code implementation and emphasizes the continuous need for improvements in environmental oversight and awareness among rural landowners, pointing out gaps in compliance with Legal Reserves and highlighting the utility of an automatic system in demarcating Permanent Preservation Areas. These contributions strengthen environmental management and conservation on rural properties.
 
Originality/value: The study provides valuable insights for managers, legislators, and researchers in environmental policies, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvements in conservation in rural areas. The detailed analysis in microbasins reveals the effectiveness of legal guidelines and underscores challenges in Forest Code implementation.

Authors: De Loureiro João Paulo Borges , Fernandes Rafael da Silva , Dos Santos Marcos Antônio Souza , Dos Santos Wânia Mendonça
Published: December 2023

Objective: This study aimed to analyze contextual factors and aspects that impact the social environment and that, in turn, change the level of people's satisfaction, being this a measure of quality of life.   Theoretical framework: In Brazil, the financial compensation for the exploration of mineral resources (CFEM) has provided a considerable increase in the collection of ore producing municipalities. Therefore, understanding the relationship between social efficiency and quality of life, combined with the legal duties of the Brazilian State, is essential to propose mechanisms capable of evaluating the conversion of this economic wealth into public services that promote the population's quality of life, which is a measure of social efficiency.   Method: A confirmatory factor analysis was applied in a dataset with 1024 responses from residents of the municipality of Parauapebas in the state of Pará.   Results and conclusion: The results present sufficient evidence to accept that the measurement instrument well shaped by a bifactorial structure, given the set of responses and items evaluated, and demonstrate good evidence of internal consistency and reliability and, consequently, can be used to assess the measure of social efficiency and quality of life in terms of population satisfaction. In conclusion, the model indicates an inability of the public power to convert the high revenue into services that generate quality of life, showing that the municipality presents characteristics of the phenomenon called the curse of natural resources.   Research implications: This study contributes to evaluating the scale of social efficiency of the population in relation to the quality of public services provided by municipalities, and can be used as a reference for adjustments and improvements in public services.   Originality/value: This study presents results of great social relevance, in addition to helping to understand some aspects that involve the concepts of social efficiency and people's quality of life.
Explosive Forming: Analytical Methods for Determining the Mass of Explosives
Authors: Šunjić Darko , Buljan Stipo
Published: December 2023

Explosive forming is one of the non-conventional impulse technologies of metal forming technologies and it is a relatively young technology that has not been fully explored. The origin, development and application of explosive forming technology is given in this paper, and the advantages and disadvantages are also described. Given the specificity of this technology, this paper presents the calculation of the mass of the explosive as the most important factor in this process and the calculation of the pressure of the shock wave. In fact, with conventional deep drawing technologies, it is possible to design the technology and follow the same steps to reach products of different dimensions. In explosive forming, this is a problem, and it is not possible to follow these rules. Experiments of explosive forming can only be performed by employees trained to work with explosives, following prescribed procedures.

Authors: Aleksandrović Srbislav , Ivković Djordje , Arsić Dušan , Delić Marko , Djačić Slaviša , Djordjević Milan
Published: December 2023

The aim of this paper is to show influence of two elements on plastic strain ratio value, or "r" value. The first element is value of plastic strain, and second is specimen geometry. Extensive experiment was conducted according to appropriate tensile test procedure with 3 materials and 5 different specimen geometries. Steel sheet S235JR, austenitic stainless-steel sheet X5CrNi18-10 and Al alloy sheet AlSi0.9MgMn (i.e. ENAW 6081) were used during the experiments. Nominal thickness for all three sheets was 1 mm. Three out of five specimen geometries had 20 mm width and gage length of 60, 120 and 160 mm while the rest of specimens had width of 15 mm and gage length of 50, 100 mm. All the specimens were laser cut in rolling direction. In preparation part of the experiment, behind material characterization (obtaining base mechanical properties) identification of homogenous deformation field was performed, i.e. plastic strain at the beginning of localization, for each specimen. Related to that strain value 6 degrees of deformation were realized: 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% and 100%. Results showed expected and significant difference in "r" value for used materials, but influence of specimen geometry and realized plastic strains were low.

Risk Factors for Running-Related Injury in High School and Collegiate Cross-country Runners: A Systematic Review
Authors: Joachim Mikel R. , Kuik Matthew L. , Krabak Brian J. , Kraus Emily M. , Rauh Mitchell J. , Heiderscheit Bryan C.
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: To summarize and describe risk factors for running-related injuries (RRIs) among high school and collegiate cross-country runners.

DESIGN: Descriptive systematic review.

LITERATURE SEARCH: Four databases (Scopus, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, Cochrane) were searched from inception to August 2023.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies assessing RRI risk factors in high school or collegiate runners using a prospective design with at least 1 season of follow-up were included.

DATA SYNTHESIS: Results across each study for a given risk factor were summarized and described. The NOS and GRADE frameworks were used to evaluate quality of each study and certainty of evidence for each risk factor.

RESULTS: Twenty-four studies were included. Overall, study quality and certainty of evidence were low to moderate. Females or runners with prior RRI or increased RED-S (relative energy deficiency in sport) risk factors were most at risk for RRI, as were runners with a quadriceps angle of >20° and lower step rates. Runners with weaker thigh muscle groups had increased risk of anterior knee pain. Certainty of evidence regarding training, sleep, and specialization was low, but suggests that changes in training volume, poorer sleep, and increased specialization may increase RRI risk.

CONCLUSION: The strongest predictors of RRI in high school and collegiate cross-country runners were sex and RRI history, which are nonmodifiable. There was moderate certainty that increased RED-S risk factors increased RRI risk, particularly bone stress injuries. There was limited evidence that changes in training and sleep quality influenced RRI risk, but these are modifiable factors that should be studied further in this population.

There is a Lack of Clinical Homogeneity in Lower-Limb Tendinopathy Trials: A Scoping Review
Authors: Lyng Kristian Damgaard , Sørensen Line Bay , Platzer Oscar Just , Pedersen Samuel Krogh , Gürühan Sonay , Vasconcelos Gabriela , de Vos Robert-Jan , Rathleff Michael Skovdal
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: It is unclear if clinical trials of treatments for lower-limb tendinopathies include clinically homogeneous participant populations (an assumption for pooling in meta-analyses). We assessed the recruitment setting and participant characteristics used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were investigating any treatment for lower-limb tendinopathies.

DESIGN: Scoping review.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature search in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases. All RCTs that were investigating treatments for lower-limb tendinopathies in an adult population (≥18 years) were eligible for inclusion. At least 2 authors conducted independent screening and selection of full-text papers, and extracted data from included studies.

RESULTS: Of 18 341 records, 342 RCTs (21 897 participants) were eligible for inclusion and data extraction. The most common diagnoses were plantar fasciopathy (n = 195, 57%), Achilles tendinopathy (n = 82, 24%), and patellar tendinopathy (n = 41, 12%). Secondary care (n = 144, 42%) was the most reported recruitment setting, followed by an open setting (n = 44, 13%). In 93 (27%) RCTs, the recruitment setting was not described. We found high heterogeneity in participant characteristics (eg, symptom duration, age, body mass index, and the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment [VISA] questionnaire score) within and between recruitment settings.

CONCLUSION: Our results question whether clinical homogeneity can be adequately assumed in clinical trials of lower-limb tendinopathies due to the lack of clear reporting of the recruitment setting and the variability within and between recruitment settings of key participant characteristics. These findings threaten assumptions for meta-analyses in lower-limb tendinopathies. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(1):60-69. Epub 5 December 2023. doi:10.2519/jospt.2023.11722

Authors: Piussi Ramana , Simonson Rebecca , Zsidai Bálint , Grassi Alberto , Karlsson Jon , Della Villa Francesco , Samuelsson Kristian , Senorski Eric Hamrin
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: To compare the time to return to sport (RTS) between patients who did and did not suffer a second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after ACL reconstruction.

DESIGN: Etiology systematic review with meta-analysis.

LITERATURE SEARCH: Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, AMED, and PEDro databases were searched in August 2021 and again in November 2022.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Clinical studies reporting time to RTS after ACL reconstruction and second ACL injury were eligible.

DATA SYNTHESIS: We pooled continuous data (time [months] and proportions [%]), with random-effects meta-analyses. Pooled estimates were summarized in forest plots. A qualitative data synthesis was also performed.

RESULTS: Twenty-one studies were included in the meta-analysis and 33 in the qualitative synthesis. Pooled incidence of second ACL injury was 16.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.8, 21.6). Patients who suffered a second ACL injury returned to sport significantly earlier (25 days; 95% CI: 9.5, 40.4) than those who did not suffer another injury. There was no difference in time to RTS for professional athletes who suffered a second ACL injury and those who did not. The certainty of evidence was very low.

CONCLUSION: There was very low–certainty evidence that patients who suffered a second ACL injury had returned to sport 25 days earlier than patients who did not have another injury. For professional athletes, there was no difference in time to RTS between athletes who suffered a second ACL injury and athletes who did not. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(3):161-175.

Anaximander and his «Apeiron»
Authors: Ignatenko E. A.
Published: December 2023

The reconstruction of the teachings of Аnaximander about the origin of the world is based on the analysis of his practical attempts to simulate some natural phenomena and invent devices or scientific instruments that explain and predict some meteorological events. The Earth rests in equilibrium not only because of its location in the center of the Universe, but also because it is «supported» by the «shell» of «ἀήρ». In the formation of the world, due to the eternal circular motion, from a mixture of hot and cold stood out «ἀήρ» and «αἰθήρ», constituting the contradictory essence of «apeiron». Pairs of opposites: hot and cold; wet and dry – the energy component of the material principle. Due to the eternal irreversible fatal cyclic process of interaction of these pairs of opposites there is a constant renewal in nature. «Apeiron» in accordance with the immanently inherent property of purposive authority of the law of global processes taking place in it, a fatal impersonal force and unavoidable response for its violation, provides a just balance of forces in the Universe as a whole.

Institutionalization of the processes of socio-cultural development of local communities
Authors: Shmakov V. S.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the problem of institutionalization of evolutionary forms of socio-cultural development of local communities. The purpose of the study is to analyze the conditions and factors affecting the processes of institutionalization in the context of socio-cultural dynamics. Socio-cultural institutions are the most important structures, mechanisms for the formation of socio-cultural identity, act as regulators of the generation of value-normative complexes forming models of socio-cultural development. The main factors determining the institutional dynamics of socio-cultural evolution under the pressure of a globalized society are: the transformation of traditional industrial and economic relations; the conflict between local and global socio-cultural environments; the clash of formal and informal socio-cultural practices. In the process of interaction of globality and locality, conditions arise that determine instability, inconsistency, conflict, non-linearity of the development of socio-cultural development. The basic socio-cultural structures of the evolving local community are: tradition, innovations and the archaic. The unification of the socio-cultural environment becomes the dominant trend in the development of local communities, which determines the processes of institutionalization
Categories of health and disease/illness in the philosophy of medicine: biomedical and humanistic models
Authors: Gilyazova O. S.
Published: December 2023

The categories of health and disease/illness are conceptualized from the perspective of the philosophy of medicine. Philosophical contradictions are revealed, which, fueling the debate between naturalism and normativism, prevent biomedicine from developing a single satisfactory understanding of these categories. The theoretical and practical consequences of such biomedicine features as pathocentrism, identification of health with complete well-being, dichotomy of health and disease in the absence of a clear criterion for their differentiation are analyzed. The role of humanistic approaches to the medicine rehumanization is investigated with a focus on their balanced view of health and disease/illness, attentive to the fundamental vulnerability of human nature.
The Popularization of the Masterpieces of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the Philharmonic of Yakutia
Authors: Pavlova-Borisova T. V.
Published: December 2023

The article considers the popularization of the masterpieces of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity by the State Philharmonic of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) within the framework of the concert programs of two international festivals: “UNESCO Masterpieces on the Land of Olonkho” and the Arctic Music Festival “Northern Lights”, as well as the educational activities of this institution, which is an outpost of the concert academic performance in the North-East of the Russian Federation and its Arctic zone. Based on the analysis of activities of the Yakutia Philharmonic to popularize the masterpieces of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity, it was concluded that at present attention has been paid mainly to foreign examples of intangible cultural heritage – the music of the Armenian duduk, the music of the Azerbaijani tar, Spanish flamenco, Argentine tango in modern concert forms of their expression. Work to popularize the music of the Yakut olonkho, proclaimed in 2005 as a masterpiece of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity, still remains to be done, since due to the special epic nature of the traditional genre, it has not yet been comprehended in the system of symphonic instrumentalism of the European tradition. New studies on this topic by representatives of the Yakut composer schools will make it possible for young performers to search for innovative forms and proper collaborations.

Achieving Decentralized, Electrified, and Decarbonized Ammonia Production
Authors: Fernandez Carlos , Chapman Oliver , Brown Marilyn , Alvarez Pugliese Christian , Hatzell Marta
Published: December 2023

The rapid reduction in the cost of renewable energy has motivated the transition from carbon-intensive chemical manufacturing to renewable, electrified, and decarbonized technologies. Although electrified chemical manufacturing technologies differ greatly, the feasibility of each electrified approach is largely related to the energy efficiency and capital cost of the system. Here, we examine the feasibility of ammonia production systems driven by wind and photovoltaic energy. We identify the optimal regions where wind and photovoltaic electricity production may be able to meet local demand for ammonia-based fertilizers. To account for growing concerns regarding access to water, geospatial optimization takes into account water stress caused by new ammonia facilities, and recommendations ensure that the identified regions do not experience an increase in water stress. Reducing water stress by 99% only increases costs by 1.4%. Furthermore, a movement toward a more decentralized ammonia supply chain driven by wind and photovoltaic electricity can reduce the transportation distance for ammonia by up to 76% while resulting in an increase in production costs by 18% if an energy efficiency of 40% is achieved.
Effect of Uniaxial Stack Pressure on the Performance of Nanocrystalline Electrolytes and Electrode Composites for All-Solid-State Fluoride-Ion-Batteries
Authors: Chen Hong , Aalto Tommi Hendrik , Vanita Vanita , Clemens Oliver
Published: December 2023

If all solid-state fluoride ion batteries want to compete with existing battery technologies, significant improvements in terms of cyclic stability are necessary to fully access the high specific capacities this battery concept can provide in theory. In this study, we report the development of a high-pressure, high-temperature battery operation stand for battery cycling under inert conditions inside a glovebox. This stand was then used to investigate the effect of stack pressure on the cell performance of conversion-based as well as intercalation-based electrode materials for fluoride ion batteries. It was found that cyclic stability as well as energy efficiency is strongly increased compared to non-pressure conditions, which is assigned to sustained inter-particle contact. Thus, the cell-design must be considered carefully to be able to distinguish intrinsic material properties from percolation- and interphase-related impacts on the cell behavior. Further, the effect of pressure on the ionic conductivity of common solid fluoride ion conductors is investigated.

Published: December 2023

Extreme fast charging (XFC, i.e., achieving at least 80% state of charge within 15 minutes) remains as a high-desirability criterion for next-generation lithium batteries. While the anodes, e.g., graphite and lithium, have been historically acknowledged as critical hurdles for fast-charging batteries, the stability of the cathodes under sustained high-rate cycling has not been well studied. In this work, we have investigated the fast cycling (10 - 15 minutes charging time) of LiMn2O4 (LMO) under practical conditions (90% loading of cathode material with an areal capacity of 1 mAh/cm2). We find through advanced characterisation that in the presence of LiPF6-based electrolyte, the high rate cycling of LMO causes a cascade of bulk LiMn2O4→LiMnO2 phase changes, accompanied by oxygen release, initiating electrolyte degradation. Together, these factors play a compounding role in the capacity loss during cycling, even with high-rate compatible anodes, e.g., Li4Ti5O12 (LTO). The combination of a commercial, high-capacity, micro-structured LMO cathode and novel electrolyte, prepared by using a novel lithium salt, lithium 1,1,1,3,3,3, (tetrakis) hexafluoroisopropoxy borate, in a mixture with commercial electrolyte, overcomes these limitations. The performance improvement is attributed to the synergy between the unique cathode structures and the formation of a facilitative boron-rich cathode electrolyte interface. Cycling of the LMO|LTO cells show 98 mAh/g initial discharge capacity at 4C-4D cycling with the novel electrolyte with 91% capacity retention after 1500 cycles, while charging to 90% of total capacity in 10 minutes. This work, for the first time, demonstrates the long-term stability of practical high loading LMO-LTO based Li-ion battery under XFC conditions, which has been upscaled and reproduced in a single-layer pouch cell.

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions cause global warming, driving the need for decarbonisation technologies. Supercapacitors, originally designed for energy storage, are emerging as energy-efficient and robust devices for electrochemical CO2 capture. However, impacts of electrode structure and charging protocols on CO2 capture performance remain unclear. This study develops structure-performance relationships for supercapacitor electrodes at different charging conditions. In general, we find that electrodes with large surface areas and low oxygen functionalisation perform the best, while a combination of micro- and meso-pores is essential to achieve fast capture rates. By combining these structural features, the YP80F activated carbon electrode shows the best CO2 capture performance (350 mmolCO2 kg–1 h–1 and 18 kJ molCO2–1, under 300 A kg–1, 0.8 V and pure CO2), a long lifetime over 12000 cycles, and promising CO2 selectivity over O2 and N2. This study paves the way to develop supercapacitor electrodes for electrochemical CO2 capture.

Published: December 2023

En este estudio, se describe la elaboración de una estrategia de evangelización digital bajo la perspectiva de la comunicación organizacional digital externa que permita vincular a la comunidad católica “Quédate con Nosotros”, con sede en los estados de Querétaro y Jalisco, México, con sus seguidores actuales y potenciales. Metodológicamente, la estrategia se estructura a partir del diagnóstico, por medio de las técnicas de entrevista y encuesta, así como del análisis de métricas de redes sociales. Con esta información, se construyen los objetivos estratégicos, perfiles de público objetivo y canales en tres redes sociales. Como resultado, se establece el plan de publicación desde la consideración de objetivos específicos y acciones en las que se tomen en cuenta tres categorías de publicaciones: informativas, promocionales y de entretenimiento. Además, se establece la periodicidad de la evaluación. Se concluye, mediante este recorrido, que es viable construir estrategias de evangelización en entornos digitales que familiaricen seguidores actuales y potenciales con la vida, las motivaciones y en general el quehacer religioso. Con ello se pretende acercar la propuesta religiosa a los entornos cotidianos, hacerla asequible y factible de ser integrada en la vida de las personas, tal y como se plantea en los objetivos de la organización.
Representaciones comunicacionales de las prácticas de sobrevivencia en el contexto de la pandemia: el caso de las gestoras de las ollas comunes en la ciudad de Lima
Authors: Herrera Santamaría Rodolfo , Pérez Vela Rolando
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo analiza los hallazgos del estudio sobre las representaciones comunicacionales alrededor de las prácticas de sobrevivencia de las poblaciones excluidas y vulnerables durante la crisis generada por la pandemia del COVID-19. Para ello, a partir del análisis del discurso de actores sociales claves involucrados en la experiencia, planteamos una discusión sobre el papel de las actorías de la sociedad civil en la construcción de las nuevas ciudadanías y la configuración del capital social en contextos de crisis, en el que los medios de comunicación juegan un rol muy relevante. Entre los principales resultados, se puede observar que alrededor de la experiencia de las llamadas ollas comunes es posible observar el modo como se reconstruye la representación contemporánea de actores sociales desde los márgenes, el sentido social y cultural de las demandas colectivas (más allá de la alimentación), el reconocimiento de las capacidades colectivas para enfrentar las crisis, la reactivación de prácticas culturales construidas antes de la pandemia que se constituyeron en un soporte importante para gestionar la crisis. Asimismo, se aprecia el rol clave de los medios de comunicación como un factor de mediación para la visibilidad de las prácticas de los actores sociales en el contexto de la crisis.

Background: The tobacco control scale (TCS) score is used widely in European countries to evaluate the adoption of antitobacco policies by countries, however, data on the adoption of tobacco control programmes in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) are limited to a 2009 survey. Aim: To compare the TCS score for measuring national tobacco control programmes in the EMR countries in 2009 and 2021. Methods: This cross-sectional survey compared data from 21 EMR countries on 6 major indicators, including the price of cigarettes, tobacco smoke-free public places, national budget for tobacco control activities, ban on tobacco advertising, health warning labels on tobacco packets, and support for treatment of tobacco dependence. The TCS scores at the country level in 2009 were extracted from a previous study. We then calculated the TCS score in 2021 for the same countries using the WHO report on the global tobacco epidemic 2021 and the World Bank data for 2020. Results: The average TCS score (standard deviation) for EMR countries increased from 29.7 (16.8) in 2009 to 40.7 (17.3) in 2021. The highest TCS score (83.0) was reported in Islamic Republic of Iran, followed by Yemen (72.8) and Lebanon (62.0). Five countries (Djibouti, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, Bahrain, and Oman) scored less than 30. Health warning labels, smoke-free public places, and tobacco control budgets as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product per capita had all increased, but tobacco prices and cessation treatments did not improve over the past decade. Conclusion: Tobacco control policies have been implemented and improved in most EMR countries, but there is room for further improvement. Tobacco pricing and taxation, national tobacco control program budgets, and cessation treatments require more attention.
Minimization Implementation of Fuzzy Logic to Optimize a Cashew Nut Production using Simpleks-Duality Theory
Authors: Asriningtias Yuli , Utami Wahyu Sri
Published: December 2023

Production control of cashew nuts greatly affects the profits earned by the company. When cashew nut raw materials exceed production needs, it results in storing cashews for an extended period, causing the cashew products to lose freshness, and the quality of processed cashews deteriorates. If the raw materials are damaged, the manufacturer must acquire additional costs to procure raw materials again. Another issue is that cashew nut raw materials are seasonal products and are not always available.To solve these problems, a calculation method is needed to control optimal production inventory to minimize the company's expenditures. The method used is to formulate the problem into a Fuzzy Linear Programming mathematical model using a combination of methods: the Simplex algorithm and Duality Theory. The case implementation focuses on the uncertainty of cashew nut production quantities outside the harvest season. Moreover, the calculation of an optimal production quantity to minimize resulting losses is needed. The output generated is an optimal production prediction using the combination of the Simplex Algorithm and Duality Theory in solving Fuzzy Linear Programming.
