The determinants of municipal solid waste management efficiency in EU countries
Authors: Osińska Monika
Published: May 2024

The main purpose of this paper is to assess the municipal solid waste management (MSWM) efficiency of European Union countries and to identify the determinants of this efficiency before and after introducing Directive (EU) 2018/851. The research was conducted for 23 EU Member States in order to analyse the two highest-priority waste treatment methods (material recycling and energy recovery) and the level of greenhouse gases emitted by the waste management sector. The data for 2015-2020 were extracted from the Eurostat database. The period of data was divided into two sub-periods: 2015-2017 (the period before introducing the Directive) and 2018-2020. MSWM efficiency scores were calculated using the DEA method. Later, the Tobit Regression Model (TRM) was applied to identify the determinants. The efficiency analysis showed that the countries which joined the EU before 2000 improved their MSWM efficiency in 2018-2020 compared with 2015-2017. On the other hand, the average efficiency scores of the countries that joined the EU after 2000 decreased. In 2015-2017, the following determinants of MSWM efficiency occurred to be statistically significant: population density, unemployment rate, the number of patents and the tourism intensity index, while in 2018-2020: population density, unemployment rate, Research & Development (R&D) expenditure, higher education proportion and MSW generated. A detailed analysis of these variables showed that the countries that joined the EU after 2000 should first increase their R&D expenditure and support their inhabitants in increasing their educational level.

Authors: Krawczyńska Dominika , Hadasik Bartłomiej , Ryczko Aleksandra , Przedworska Kornelia , Kubiczek Jakub
Published: May 2024

Within the sustainable development (SD) paradigm, the European Green Deal (EGD) sets dynamic energy transition goals for the European Union (EU). However, diverse dynamics among member states, exacerbated by events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, directly influence this progress. This paper aims to present the energy transition course in EU countries up against the implementation of the objectives of the EGD. This paper conducts a thematic (scoping) literature review and comparative analysis of energy transition progress in all EU countries, concentrating on Poland, which faces unique challenges, including a sluggish pace of energy transition and the effects of the Russian invasion on Ukraine in this regard. Recommendations for Poland include an intensified focus on investments in renewable energy sources (RES) and low-carbon installations. The results demonstrate that collective success in SD necessitates each EU member fulfilling national climate goals, emphasising the need for a unified commitment to navigate complexities and build a sustainable future.

To answer this, it is pursued by using the historical method which includes four stages of work systematically, namely: heuristics, conducting a search of literary sources that are relevant to the study being carried out; source criticism, analyzing sources; interpretation of sources; and historiography or writing of research results. The process of Islamization in France began since the Crusades, namely in the 11th to 13th centuries AD, then the process of Islamization continued in 1830, namely when Muslim immigrants arrived in France. In the following periods the process of Islamization in France was through da'wah and marriage. Muslims continued to experience developments in France from year to year, especially through the da'wah and marriage, so it is estimated that in the following years, the Muslim population in France will experience a quantitatively significant. Along with the development of Islam in France, it also faces quite complicated problems, especially the prohibition of wearing the headscarf for Muslim women. Even so, it appears that Muslims in France today still exist and are able to survive against the situations and conditions that surround them.

Broadband Parasitic Modeling of Diodes in the Millimeter-Wave Band
Authors: Pérez-Escribano Mario , Palomares-Caballero Angel , Padilla Pablo , Valenzuela-Valdés Juan F , Márquez-Segura Enrique
Published: May 2024

This paper presents the extraction of an equivalent circuit model for
PIN diodes and varactors in the millimeter waves. This circuit model is
handy for new communication applications involving, for example,
electronic beam reconfigurability, where diodes are commonly used. For
parameter extraction, the proposed model includes the effects of the
device, the pads, and the gap underneath the device. From the
measurement at various bias points (varactor) or states (PIN diode), it
is possible to extract an equivalent circuit to properly model the
behavior of these devices when using them to design reconfigurable
elements. The results are validated experimentally, obtaining an
excellent agreement between the measurements and the equivalent circuit
models in a large frequency band up to 67 GHz.
CoPreMo: A Collaborative Predictive Model in Time Series and its Application to Radar Target Tracking for ADAS/AD Vehicles
Authors: Ekolle Zie Eya , Kohno Ryuji
Published: May 2024

Automotive driving assistant systems (ADAS) and Automated driving (AD)
technologies are widely used in unmanned vehicle control along a
trajectory, and just like many other technologies, they present some
risks such as the risk of misdirection and collision of the vehicle with
an obstacle along its trajectory. To avoid these, many tracking systems
such as the radar tracking system are used to detect and track targets
and trajectories of ADAS/AD vehicles. However, the performance of the
tracking operation is an important factor in determining the reliability
of the tracking systems and ADAS/AD technologies, especially at the edge
computing level. In this study, we proposed a tracking technique using a
collaborative predictive model in time series, called CoPreMo, to
improve the reliability of the tracking operation of a radar system. We
carried out three experiments with the model on a simulated radar system
to track the range of a target with different speeds in three ADAS/AD
scenarios and achieve a range tracking error of 0.21m, 0.26m, and 0.32m,
better than those of the baseline models.

the situation. Moreover, I posit that any goal whose success can be
determined without the consensual feedback of those concerned is likely
to lead to the manifestation of dark factor traits. Integrating care
reduces the risk that an AGI will be incentivized to seek harmful
shortcuts to obtaining satisfactory feedback. Employing collaborative
goals reduces the risk that an AGI will optimize for superficial
features of success and proxy goals. Together, these ideas propose a
fundamental shift away from the traditional control-centric AI Safety
strategies. This paradigm not only promotes more beneficial outcomes but
also enables AGIs to learn from and adapt to complex moral landscapes,
thus continuously improving their capacity to contribute positively to
the wellbeing of humans and other sentient beings.

Authors: Nahak Petronela Bhoko , Arsita Elli , Wastitiamurti Ritsia Anindita
Published: May 2024

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) adalah salah satu penyebab utama kebutaan pada orang > 60 tahun di negara-negara maju. Patogenesis AMD neovaskular melibatkan peningkatan permeabilitas pembuluh darah koroid, yang menyebabkan hipoksia dan produksi faktor pro-inflamasi dan pro-angiogenik, terutama faktor pertumbuhan endotel pembuluh darah (VEGF). Pengobatan AMD neovaskular melibatkan terapi anti-VEGF, yang menghambat pertumbuhan pembuluh darah yang tidak normal. Sejumlah penelitian telah menunjukkan efektivitas dan efek samping dari masing-masing agen Anti-VEGF. Berdasarkan latar belakang ini, Penulis tertarik untuk melakukan tinjauan pustaka yang merangkum efektivitas dan efek samping dari masing-masing agen Anti-VEGF. Metode yang digunakan adalah Literature Review. Jurnal di kumpulkan menggunakan GoogleScholar atau Google Cendekia, PubMed dan Proquest dalam jangka waktu 10 tahun terakhir. Sebanyak 10 jurnal yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi-eksklusi untuk dikaji dan diuji kelayakan dengan Ottawa score. Hasil dari tinjauan pustaka ini menunjukkan agen-agen anti-VEGF termasuk bevacizumab, ranibizumab, aflibercept, pegaptanib sodium, brolucizumab, dan abicipar pegol telah terbukti sama-sama efektif dalam meningkatkan penglihatan dan mempertahankan penglihatan stabil pasien AMD neovaskular. Namun, pengobatan anti-VEGF ini juga dapat menyebabkan efek samping seperti peradangan intraokular, peningkatan tekanan intraokular, dan masalah pembuluh darah.

This initiative addresses the critical concerns of enhancing battery management and easing the calculation of battery capacity in electric vehicles. By using Coulomb counting method, the State of Charge (SoC) of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries is estimated by analysing real-time battery data through simulations and interpolation techniques. The primary objective is to offer precise SoC estimation to mitigate the range anxiety. Furthermore, this research proposes methods of estimating the SoC of Lithium-Ion batteries and an enhanced coulomb counting model with Adaptive Kalman Filter to estimate the state of charge with higher accuracy. This comprehensive approach seeks to address critical challenges in EV battery management contributing significantly to the electric vehicle technology for the society.

On considering Electric Vehicles, the rise of Vehicle-to-Grid(V2G) concept has been accompanied with lots of advantages. The V2G technology ensures that no extra electricity needs to be consumed from the grid. It helps the power grid on a larger scale. It enables a bidirectional power flow between the EV battery and the grid. Bidirectional Buck- Boost Converter helps in grid stabilization, financial gains, and effective energy management. The DC-DC Converter does two functions: matching the battery voltage to the motor's rated voltage and controlling power flow under steady-state and transient conditions. The Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is used to correct the errors between commanded set point and the actual value based on feedback. The efficiency of the converter can be increased by using PI controller.

Published: May 2024

The Facial Recognition Attendance System is a sophisticated software solution that employs OpenCV and Python to automate the process of attendance tracking in real-time. Designed to replace outdated manual methods, this system utilizes state-of-the-art facial recognition technology to accurately identify individuals as they enter a monitored space. Upon detection and verification, the system records the individual's attendance by logging their arrival time, thereby streamlining the attendance process. This method significantly enhances efficiency, reduces potential for error, and ensures a secure and contactless check-in experience. With its user-friendly interface and quick setup, the system is an ideal application for educational institutions, corporate offices, and public events that require reliable attendance management.

Published: May 2024

Objective:  The association between bilateral chronic subdural hematomas and postoperative recurrence remains controversial as conflicting evidence regarding this association exists in the literature. We carried out the present study to assess whether bilateral chronic subdural hematomas are associated with increased postoperative recurrence compared to unilateral chronic subdural hematomas after burrhole drainage.
Materials & Methods:  We retrospectively studied the data of all the patients operated on in our department for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation through burrhole drainage and then included the data of sixty-three patients in our study. For the sake of uniformity, only patients without postoperative drainage were included in the study. The patients operated on for unilateral and bilateral chronic subdural hematomas were then compared with each other for their association with postoperative recurrence.
Results:  Forty-five patients in our study had been operated on for a unilateral chronic subdural hematoma. Eighteen patients had been operated for bilateral chronic subdural hematomas. Of the forty-five patients who operated for unilateral chronic subdural hematomas, eight (17.8%) had a recurrence. Twelve (66.7%) of the eighteen patients operated for bilateral chronic subdural hematoma had a recurrence. This difference in recurrence between the unilateral and bilateral chronic subdural hematomas was found to be very significant (p = 0.0002).
Conclusion:  We conclude that a bilateral chronic subdural hematoma is associated with significantly increased postoperative recurrence compared to a unilateral chronic subdural hematoma following burrhole drainage.
Keywords:  Bilateral chronic subdural hematoma, unilateral chronic subdural hematoma, burrhole drainage, recurrence.

Published: May 2024

Objective:  To document the occurrence of acute problems as well as post-surgical improvements in individuals suffering from spinal cord injury.
Materials and Methods:  This study was conducted retrospectively in the Department of Neurosurgery. All patients of any age and both genders were included who were admitted with spinal injuries. The patients with cervical fractures received the anterior cervical plating plus graft placement in the cervical spine, whereas the patient with thoracolumbar fractures received the transpedicular fixation in thoracolumbar spine fractures. ASIA Impairment Scale for neurological status, GCS at admission, and acute complications developed within two weeks were noted.
Results:  200 patients were included (mean age of 34.6 years). The common cause of SCI was a fall from an elevated position of 62.5%. On admission, 50% of patients’ neurological state was Asia grade A. The most common location involved in patients (70%) was a thoracolumbar junction. 20% of patients presented with neurogenic shock. Postoperatively, the GCS scores in all patients were been improved. The commonest acute complications associated with SCI were pulmonary in 60% of patients. 17% of patients developed an infection, 5% suffered from gastrointestinal issues, and 3% suffered from renal issues. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was observed in 9%. 
Conclusion:  During the early phase of hospitalization, respiratory difficulties were among the most prevalent complications encountered in those suffering from traumatic SCI. These outcomes exacerbate the eventual suffering caused by the spinal cord injury; hence, recognizing the likelihood of occurrence, early detection, exact surgical treatment, and prevention are essential.
