Published: August 2023

The rapid growth of materials chemistry data, driven by advancements in large-scale radiation facilities as well as laboratory instruments, has outpaced conventional data analysis and modelling methods, which can require enormous manual effort. To address this bottleneck, we investigate the application of supervised and unsupervised machine learning (ML) techniques for scattering and spectroscopy data analysis in materials chemistry research. Our perspective focuses on ML applications in powder diffraction (PD), pair distribution function (PDF), small-angle scattering (SAS), inelastic neutron scattering (INS), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data, but the lessons that we learn are generally applicable across materials chemistry. We review the ability of ML to efficiently and accurately identify physical and structural models and extract information from experimental data. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges associated with supervised ML and highlight how unsupervised ML can mitigate these limitations, thus enhancing experimental materials chemistry data analysis. Our perspective emphasises the transformative potential of ML in materials chemistry characterisation and identifies promising directions for future applications. The perspective aims to guide newcomers to ML-based experimental data analysis, alerting them to the potential pitfalls and offering guidance for success.
Battery State Prediction through Hybrid Modeling: Integrating Neural Networks with a Single Particle Model

Published: August 2023

Batteries are key components for the storage of energy, which are vital for the widespread use of renewable energy resources and electric vehicles. To ensure the safety and optimal performance of these devices, analyzing their operation through physical and data-driven models is essential. While physical models can accurately identify the underlying physicochemical processes, they are often too complex for integration in onboard diagnostics. Conversely, data-driven models are usually more flexible and easier to implement, but they lack a physical description of the battery. In response, this work accurately models the battery state by using the single particle model as a baseline for subsequent predictions made with neural networks. To achieve this, two neural networks were leveraged: one to apply a correction to the voltage obtained from the physical model, and the second to evaluate the battery state of health and aging states. This predictive performance of this new hybrid model demonstrated better performances if compared to neural networks alone. Results were benchmarked using two real-world battery cycling datasets, including one collected in-house. Given the promise of this new hybrid model, it is expected that the present work will pave the way for advanced modeling of batteries.

Based on the need to recover various wastes such as waste from wastewater treatment plants, it is proposed to use sludge in the manufacture of various building materials as bricks. So far, bricks made of different materials and combinations of classical materials as burnt clay, cement, sand, but also of other unconventional materials, most of them coming from different wastes, are used in construction. In order to use the sludge for bricks fabrication, it is necessary to inert it and to obtain a moisture content below 80%. Also, the physico-chemical and ecological parameters must be suitable for sludge utilization and their values must be situated within the limits imposed by legislation. So, the sludge is centrifuged in order to reduce the moisture content from (90-95)% to a maximum of 80%, treated, then the sludge batches are characterised and finally the sludge is recovered by inert cement.
Techno-globalisation and labour sustainability in an era of the 4th Industrial revolution
Authors: Ukpere Wilfred
Published: August 2023

Capitalism, as it is known is based on the concepts of competition, profit motive, private enterprises (self-interest) and scientific management. These key catalysts set the motion for capitalist expansion, exploration and exploitation. One notable area where capitalism has naturally done exceptionally well based on its characteristics, is within the domain of scientific management, which has spurred technological innovations as well as triggered techno-globalisation. In spite of several warning signs of the impact of techno-globalisation on the sustainability of labour, the world advanced into the 4th Industrial Revolutions, which is also driven by highly sophisticated technological advancements. The 4th IR has unique features, namely, smartphone takeover almost every aspect of business activity; knowledge generation is made possible through big data; robotics may likely replace many human routine activities in the workplace. The new trend will certainly lead to massive job losses as well as create new ones within the industry, which could have detriment effects for labour sustainability. However, some mechanisms have been postulated in this treatise to improve the status quo.
EFFECTS OF GLOBALISATION ON EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS WITHIN THE FILM INDUSTRY IN SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Mpabanga Zanele L. , Ukpere Wilfred Isioma
Published: August 2023

Globalisation has been perceived as the integration and spread of information, processes and technology across organisations and nations. It has accelerated transformation and change in organisations, with the effect of strengthening or, as the case may be, weakening employment relations within organisations. Globalisation has been characterised by a rise in the use of casual employees, decentralisation and continuous advancement in technology, which ultimately affects employment relations. Therefore, this paper sets to explore the effects of globalisation on employment relations in South Africa’s film industry. The current investigation adopted a qualitative research approach, which was carried out in an organisation within the film industry in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from ten employees at various levels in the organisation. Data was obtained by means of semi-structured face-to-face interviews with the research participants. The findings revealed that the effects of globalisation are twofold, as it has both positive and negative effects on organisations. From a positive perspective, it was found that globalisation has helped to promote inclusive workplaces, effectively manage tensions and conflict in the workplace, and improve communication between parties in the employment relationship. Furthermore, it was discovered that interactions between management and employees have increased since globalisation. Conversely, the current findings uncovered that there are increasing tensions in the employment relationship. There is also evidence of less training to workers in the film industry. The findings further revealed that using casual employees in the film industry has increased, and many of them are confronted with several challenges, as they do not get the same benefits that their counterparts in permanent employment receive. Hence, generally, this paper’s outcome could be used in organisations to address some of the negative effects of globalisation in respect of relationships in the workplace, particularly in the film industryg.

This paper aims to research the motivation of human resources, with a case study at CONEREPET SA PLОIЕȘTI[1], a Romanian crude oil products transport company.In the first part of the work, we dealt with the theoretical aspect of environmental pollution with petroleum products: polluting factors and methods of depollution. Then we presented theoretical aspects of human resource management, so that we can approach a research study in the second part of the paper. Also, we analyzed the CONEREPЕT SA company, and, like the research study, we dealt with the motivation of human resources within the company. We chose this topic due to the experience in the field.We concluded that human resources are primary among those needs and resources available to the organization in carrying out the activity to achieve its objectives and, consequently, it is logical to pay special attention to their management. At the center of all business are the people. All other resources, land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles, or money are only of secondary importance. Business cannot be done without people. Businesses have no other purpose than to serve people's needs.[1] We will not divulge the name of the company where we conducted the case study for security reasons of the data and information provided.

Проведено экспериментальное исследование применения подложек из ниобата лития для радиочастотных идентификационных 64-битных меток на поверхностных акустических волнах (ПАВ) в полосе частот 33 МГц на центральной частоте 870 МГц. Метки позволяют легко различать ортогональные коды, поскольку имеют достаточный динамический диапазон и приемлемый уровень шума. Рассмотрены аспекты технологии изготовления и влияния напыления отражателей в метках на основные параметры изделий. Показано, что использование полосков в отражателях вместо ВШП повышает равномерность импульсных откликов, но приводит к росту вносимых потерь. Были исследованы РЧИД метки, в которых толщина напыления алюминиевой пленки, из которой изготавливались ВШП и отражатели, имела разную толщину. Как показали исследования, толщина напыления оказывает значительное влияние на электрические параметры метки. Толщина напыления зависит от числа отражателей в метках и подбирается таким образом, чтобы обеспечить минимальные вносимые потери и максимальный динамический диапазон. Технология подобрана таким образом, чтобы с высокой вероятностью отклики получались с неравномерностью не более 3 дБ, вносимые потери – в пределах 38–40 дБ.
An Analysis of the Consistency of Raising Labor Income Share and Raising Economic Growth Rate: Based on Marx's Social Reproduction Formula
Authors: 陶 为群
Published: August 2023

文章批驳了西方经济学中劳动收入份额、资本收入份额理论,运用马克思社会再生产公式进行劳动收入份额、资本收入份额的规范研究。通过廓清社会再生产中的劳动收入份额、资本收入份额,文章阐明了两大部类的资本有机构成、两大部类比例、全社会的剩余价值积累率是影响劳动收入份额、资本收入份额的三大因素。以资本积累作为连接劳动收入份额、资本收入份额与经济增长的链环,文章给出经济增长率和劳动收入份额、资本收入份额之间的关系式,并据此探析和检验了:提高劳动收入份额、经济增长率具有一致性;生产资料优先增长可以作为提高劳动收入份额、经济增长率的共同路径。文章最后借助马克思《资本论》中一例,对提高劳动收入份额、经济增长率具有一致性作出计算验证。

20世纪80年代,弗里和杜梅尼尔等人提出劳动价值论“新解释”。近40年来,国外马克思主义的转形问题研究沿着“新解释”路径推进,产生了一些新观点、新流派。克莱曼和麦克高伦等人的“跨期单一体系”和莫斯里的“宏观货币解释”都是这一理论动向的产物。可惜此类研究大多沿着“新解释”混淆价格与生产价格的错误方向推进,对问题的解决并没有太多贡献。本文从C体系的视角出发回顾近期国外转形问题研究的若干成果。

19世纪70年代以来,随着巨型公司的崛起、托拉斯化和垄断化浪潮的袭来,以及阶级斗争在剩余价值生产和分配过程中的重要作用日益凸显,资本主义出现了一些重大变化。随着垄断资本主义生产力同生产关系的矛盾日趋尖锐,为垄断资本主义制度根深蒂固的不合理性进行辩护的欲望日渐导致了一种新的拜物教和理性化,经济学日益沦为替一个越来越倒退的经济社会秩序辩护的学科。在垄断资本主义制度下,销售努力从生产过程的辅助性角色演变为必不可少甚至起决定性作用的部分,生产与销售的融合成为垄断资本主义的典型特征之一。同时,劳动力价值也发生了重大变化。垄断利润不再仅仅取决于剩余价值总量在垄断资本之间的分配,还可通过降低工人实际工资的形式获得。国内生产净值在剩余价值与工资之间的分割不仅取决于生产过程,而且取决于流通过程。这意味着理解垄断资本主义的经济运动规律不仅需要回到马克思主义政治经济学,而且需要在此基础上用经济剩余概念取代剩余价值和利润概念,以解释当代资本主义的新变化。
The Industrial Internet of Things: A Competitive Advantage in the Era of Smart Manufacturing
Authors: GAO Bai , ZHU Lan
Published: August 2023

At present, the Chinese manufacturing industry's competitive advantage is facing multiple challenges. China's “hexagon diagram” industrial policy, which has promoted the competitive advantage of Chinese companies in the era of globalization, encompasses these six strategies: enhancing factor supply, building infrastructure, improving institutional environments, enlarging market size, promoting industrial clustering, and encouraging competition. The hexagon model of industrial policy has gained China entry into many industries and increased their competitive advantage by lowering production cost and creating full-scope value chains. Lately, this competitive advantage is facing significant challenges from globalization reversal, trade wars, and the technological revolution. Relative to anti-globalization and trade wars, however, the most profound challenge facing China's manufacturing industry is the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things and smart manufacturing. China needs to upgrade its hexagon diagram industrial policy to keep up with new developments in the Industrial Internet of Things in today's era of smart manufacturing.

本文通过回顾和考察中华外国经济学说研究会1979—2019年的创建与演变、学术活动以及成果出版情况,并对该学会年会的会议论文展开文献计量和可视化分析,探究了外国经济思想史学科在我国近四十年来的发展情况。研究发现,该学会在推动我国外国经济思想史学科发展方面贡献巨大,但在不同阶段却发挥了不尽相同的功能和角色,其地位和承担的历史使命也经历了相应的变迁。在学会创建初期,学会通过举办“国外经济学讲座”和编译《现代国外经济学论文选》,大大推动了西方经济学在中国的引入和传播,促进了外国经济思想史学科的教学和研究。20世纪90年代末以来,学会年会的定期举办和会议论文集的连续出版,助推了外国经济思想史学术共同体的形成和稳定。随着西方经济学在我国成为一门独立的学科而不断发展壮大,学会引进和传播西方经济学的历史使命宣告完成,外国经济思想史学科在与西方经济学的“脱钩”中逐渐被边缘化。在此背景之下,外国经济思想史研究日益与中国现实问题研究相结合,并与马克思主义政治经济学“重新挂钩”。与国外经济思想史研究相比,由于该学会与国际经济思想史学界学术交流有限,我国外国经济思想史研究国际化程度比较滞后。
To What Extent Does Corporate Investment Benefit from the Firm's Financial Activities?
Authors: JIANG Xiaochen , HAN Jiayi
Published: August 2023

The impressive development of China's economy over the past few decades has enabled non-financial firms to adopt financial investment in exchange for enhanced financing behavior and short-term profit(shareholder value) maximization,while the persistence of fixed investment leading to dramatic capital accumulation has spurred the nation's rapid economic growth.The existing literature has extensive discussions on the crowd-out effect of financial activities on non-financial firms' fixed investment but overlooks to what extent and under what forces financial activities potentially benefit real investment.This paper investigates whether profits from financial activities have an inverted U-shape relationship with firms' fixed investment.In particular,we aim to identify if the benefit of financial profit on fixed investment is through the financial constraint channel and/or ownership structure channel for Chinese-listed firms from 2003 to 2018.We present robust evidence to support the inverted U-shape relationship between financial profit and fixed investment for the whole sample of firms as well as the split samples of firms(SOEs and non-SOEs).Moreover,among all channels including cash flow,debt financing,managerial shareholding,ownership concentration,and state ownership,this research documents that financial profit mainly benefits firms by reducing debt burden.Firms with concentrated ownership and strong state shareholding are also more likely to crowd-out real investment or potentially alleviate overinvestment.Nevertheless,non-SOEs are more prone to benefit from financial profits by reducing the debt overhang problem than SOEs,whereas ownership concentration for nonSOEs increments the crowd-out effect.
Pertinencia y factibilidad de reforma para crear un sistema universal de salud en Chile
Authors: Gattini César , Morales Juan Pablo
Published: August 2023

El sistema de salud en Chile ha logrado un gran desarrollo y cobertura nacional, pero mantiene limitaciones organizacionales que hacen necesaria una reforma estructural impostergable, debido a deficiencia de recursos y desempeño, con segmentación e inequidad. El programa gubernamental 2022-2026 plantea una reforma sustancial para crear un sistema universal de salud. Existen otras propuestas de reforma elaboradas por diversos programas y comisiones gubernamentales y centros de estudio, que aportan insumos útiles para contextualizar la propuesta gubernamental. Diversos tipos de modelos coexisten en el sistema de salud, pues el seguro público es de tipo seguridad social, el sistema asistencial público provee atención gratis a los asegurados públicos, y los seguros y proveedores asistenciales privados tienen modalidad de mercado. El sistema propuesto sería de tipo de sistema nacional de salud, en el que se combinan una modalidad predominante de servicio nacional de salud (tipo Beveridge) estatal con un sistema de seguridad social (tipo Bismarck) complementario, según la necesidad de financiamiento. Bajo un enfoque de evaluación de proyectos sociales, se revisaron los criterios de pertinencia (coherencia interna y consistencia externa) y de factibilidad política y económica de los contenidos del programa gubernamental. La propuesta tiene coherencia interna, aunque una consistencia externa limitada con el sistema político y económico predominante, y escasa capacidad del Estado para aumentar el financiamiento y la cobertura de empresas públicas. El contenido de la propuesta no permite identificar que existan suficientes condiciones facilitadoras para sustentar una factibilidad política y económica razonable de aprobación legal e implementación efectiva de la reforma propuesta.
AF Embeddability of the C*-Algebra of a Deaconu-Renault Groupoid
Authors:   , Pereira Lima Rafael
Published: August 2023

We study Deaconu-Renault groupoids corresponding to surjective local homeomorphisms on locally compact, Hausdorff, second countable, totally disconnected spaces, and we characterise when the C*-algebras of these groupoids are AF embeddable. Our main result generalises theorems in the literature for graphs and for crossed products of commutative C*-algebras by the integers. We give a condition on the surjective local homeomorphism that characterises the AF embeddability of the C*-algebra of the associated Deaconu-Renault groupoid. In order to prove our main result, we analyse homology groups for AF groupoids, and we prove a theorem that gives an explicit formula for the isomorphism of these groups and the corresponding K-theory. This isomorphism generalises FKPS, Matui, since we give an explicit formula for the isomorphism and we show that it preserves positive elements.
Assessment of the Impact of Fiscal Policy on Economic Growth in the Republic of Armenia
Authors: Voskanyan M. A. , Galstyan A. G.
Published: August 2023

Fiscal policy plays a crucial role in ensuring economic growth and development in the country and overcoming economic recessions. The subject of the research is the tax system in the Republic of Armenia. The study aims to identify and assess the impact of the fiscal policy on economic growth in the Republic of Armenia. Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the Armenian economy has been in stagnation, reaching pre-crisis GDP levels only in 2018. Both theory and practice point to the ambiguous nature of the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth. At the same time, the 2020 crisis caused by the pandemic exacerbated the situation by focusing the attention of economists on fiscal policy to stimulate the real sector of the economy, which justifies the relevance of the current study. The paper’s novelty lies in assessing the impact of certain types of taxes on the economic growth rates in Armenia. To achieve the goal of the study, the authors use such methods as a comparative analysis of foreign studies and systemic and statistical analysis. To econometrically assess the impact of taxes on economic growth in the country, a vector autoregression (VAR) model was applied. As a result of the study, the authors found that both tax regulation in general and the individual taxes are restrictive in nature and have a negative impact on economic growth in the country. The authors conclude that such a restrictive policy has led to a slowdown in economic growth in the Republic of Armenia over the past decades
