Techno-economic analysis of a wind/ solar PV hybrid power system to provide electricity for green hydrogen production
Authors: Homeida Azzam , Algrouni Omar , Rehman Shafiqur , Anwar Zeeshan
Published: November 2024

Green hydrogen (GH) is recognized as a fundamental pillar in shaping a sustainable global future. The process involves the hydrolysis of water with sustainable electrical sources. This paper presents a techno-economic assessment of hybrid renewable wind and solar power systems in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, to provide clean energy to enhance carbon-natural petrochemical operations. The implementation of Energy Compensation Policies, such as Net Energy Metering or Net Energy Billing Mechanisms, has a substantial influence on the financial viability of GH Plant. The present research compared the impact of such a mechanism on the levelized cost of Energy (LCOE) and the Levelized cost of Hydrogen (LCOH). The study recommended the adoption of a Net Metering Mechanism as a highly efficient strategy to encourage private sector investment in renewable energy production in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This approach was found to be effective, resulting in an accumulated electricity tariff of 26.5 $/MWh and a levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of 1.65 $/kg.

Authors: Lazarova Aneta , Kokoceva-Ivanovska Olga , Gjorgievska Elizabeta
Published: November 2024

A shared approach, coordination, and care for oral health as an integral part of general health should be imperative for every primary healthcare worker. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding perinatal and infantile oral health in different groups of health professionals in North Macedonia. The survey was conducted from January 2020 to January 2021 with the distribution of an anonymous survey questionnaire electronically in the form of a Google Document to a different profile of healthcare professionals from primary healthcare in North Macedonia, as well as students of dentistry and medicine. The questions examined early childhood caries knowledge, attitudes about their role in preventing childhood oral health, and practices for promoting good oral health. It was determined that 85.7 percent of doctors believed they need additional oral health education, 93.9 percent of respondents believed that they must educate parents/guardians about the importance of the preventive measures to maintain children's oral health and that they must advise parents in case of suspected caries to visit a dentist/pedodontist. Only 46.9% of respondents knew that cariogenic bacteria can be transmitted vertically from mother to newborn. A small percentage (26.5%) of respondents knew that white spots on baby teeth are early signs of caries. A Guide to Perinatal and Infant's Oral Health for all health professionals who are in contact with a child in the first years of life would help to properly guide and educate parents in preserving infants' oral health.
Ethics in Nigerian higher education: Mirroring the dilemma in mass communication departments
Authors: Ngonso Blessed F. , Egielewa Peter E. , Cirella Giuseppe T.
Published: November 2024

This study examines the application of ethical principles within Nigerian tertiary institutions, with a specific focus on mass communication departments, including journalism, public relations, and advertising, across selected higher education institutions. Utilizing an online questionnaire distributed to students and conducting interviews with lecturers, the research assesses the extent of ethical practices and their effects on both students and staff. This study critically reviews the existing literature on Nigeria’s higher education system, ethical awareness in higher education, and ethics implementation at the departmental level, guided by rule utilitarianism. The findings indicate that despite lecturers’ repeated efforts to educate students on the importance of upholding ethical values, exam malpractice remains the most prevalent ethical issue plaguing mass communication departments. It is recommended that ethical orientation begin in adolescence to shape the development of Nigerian youth. Additionally, ethics should be incorporated into the educational curriculum at all levels, from primary to tertiary education.
UN Tax Pillars to Address Capital Concentration (through Inheritance Levies) and Wealth Flight (through Exit Taxes) – Implications for the European Union
Authors: Imparato D.
Published: November 2024

The article investigates the rising concentration of capital ownership, drawing evidence from the United States, Germany and other European states, and its impact on widening wealth inequality. It warns of modern economies morphing into an “inheritocracy”, where corporate equity and financial assets concentrate across generations. The analysis sheds light on the limitations of income tax systems in addressing wealth inequality in the context of high capital mobility. To tackle these challenges and building on the OECD’s experience with a global minimum tax for large corporations, the article advocates for a UN-led multilateral approach supporting Global Minimum Inheritance Taxes and a Global Minimum Exit Tax to prevent a race to the bottom in taxing high-net-worth individuals and deter wealth flight. By coordinating these taxes at a supranational level, the article supports a fairer tax burden distribution and emphasizes the revenue potential of inheritance levies. Additionally, drawing from the US Expatriation Tax, it explores the legal feasibility of the European Union harmonizing an EU-wide exit tax to mitigate capital flight. Ultimately, these measures have the potential to enhance progressivity across tax systems.

Published: November 2024

A maquinagem de superligas termorresistentes promove a elevada geração de calor, o rápido desgaste das ferramentas de corte e alterações superficiais nas superfícies geradas, mesmo com taxas de remoção de material conservadoras. O principal objetivo deste estudo é avaliar, através de uma metodologia experimental e numérica, a maquinabilidade da liga IN718 utilizando ferramentas de fresagem em SiAlON. O trabalho centra-se em operações de fresagem, com foco específico na evolução do desgaste e sua correlação com dados do processo, como as forças e binários de corte, temperatura e o movimento relativo entre rotação e avanço (concordante vs. discordante). A rugosidade superficial e alterações microestruturais das superfícies maquinadas, foram também objeto de estudo. Adicionalmente, foram construídas simulações numéricas do processo para evidenciar o mecanismo de corte, com o objetivo de identificar as condições de funcionamento ideais para aplicações industriais. As ferramentas de corte cerâmicas constituem uma alternativa viável a soluções convencionais compósitas de carbonetos cementados (i.e., WC-Co) especialmente porque permitem alcançar taxas de remoção muito elevadas.
Cyborg-Technology Relations
Authors: Shew Ashley , Earle Joshua
Published: November 2024

We advocate for a philosophizing of cyborg-technology relations that takes account disabled technology users. First, we sketch out how tech-driven ableism (“technoableism”) is present in most discourse about technology, and then address how ableism has shaped accounts of disability in philosophy more broadly too. We examine this in historical and media context, then turn to what an unapologetic disability-forward approach to cyborg-technology relations looks like, and what it means to listen to the cyborgs we know and love. This work draws from the interdisciplinary field of disability studies and STS work on crip technoscience. We situate this work mostly within North American media and history of disability and Silicon Valley boosterism on tech, but accounts of technology and of disability are not unique to these locations.
Farewell to the Rules-Based Order
Authors: Mann Itamar
Published: November 2024

As political analysts debate the reasons for Trump’s victory, one contributing factor is surely the utter failure of Biden’s Gaza policies. As the US has continued to fund an Israeli war of annihilation against Gaza, the democratic ticket became a hard sell for many who care about Palestinians. Yet, Gaza has also triggered a veritable renaissance of international litigation. With Gaza destroyed and Trump in the White House, this tension may have reached a terminal point. And yet, I argue, the ghost of a rule-based order lingers in our political imagination despite its inability to shape outcomes.

Are ethics in entrepreneurship possible at all?
Authors: Staniewski Marcin W. , Słomski Wojciech , Ryziński Remigiusz
Published: November 2024

The present paper is concerned with the ethics of the conduct of entrepreneurs and ethical principles of entrepreneurs. Due to the visible economic dynamics as well as development of entrepreneurship supported by government administration, ethical issues related to these fields are becoming prominent.It seems that employment priority is currently treated as an antidote for most of the problems that the economy is faced with (it eliminates unemployment, allows to use the human capital in a better way, minimizes the problem of social exclusion, enables self-realization, etc.). The most powerful impetus to the development of entrepreneurship is the very high contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises to the Gross Domestic Product. Is such rapid development of entrepreneurship in comparison to fierce competition on the more and more demanding market a threat to the principles of ethical conduct in business? Are ethics – so important from the perspective of the society – possible in business activity at all? The problem under discussion is important not only for the entrepreneurs themselves but also for their employees, the employees’ families as well as the whole social system, etc. The deliberations presented in this article lead to a gloomy conclusion that business, as it appears, may do without ethics and actions within enterprises or among them are chiefly based not quite on a sense of togetherness, common good or purpose but, e. g. on misconceived competition. According to the authors, such a state of affairs is a consequence of, among other things, a redefinition of the notion of conscience and lack of proper upbringing.

and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Gulati Sagar , Rathod Mohitkumar Jagdishchandra , J. Guntaj , Agarwal Varsha
Published: November 2024

The development of economic activity has been matched by growth in the tourism industry.
According to information, the tourism industry is growing and both the number of domestic and
international tourists visiting each year is expanding. Because of this quick expansion, there are
now critical complications with the management of tourism, such as predicting the arrivals for
travel, particularly when a lot of people are visiting appealing locations for particular periods. The
proposed Artificial Fish Swarm Optimized Dynamic Gated Recurrent Unit (AFSO-DGRU)
approach transforms the forecasting of demand for tourism by utilizing intelligence from swarms
to improve forecasts and strategically adapting to fluctuating visitor structures. It ensures accurate
and dynamic responses even during times of uncertainty when demand is high. The study used
Google Trends to collect data from searches on the web and examine trends in tourist’s interest
and demand for travel. By combining innovative artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with realtime
online search data, this study presents a novel way to improve the accuracy of visitor arrival
predictions. The proposed method performs better than the existing methods to utilize the
parameters such as mean absolute deviation called MAE (42.01), mean square error denoted by
MSE (3059.85), mean absolute percentage error defined MAPE (1.34), and RMSPE or root mean
square percentage error (1.43). This research utilizes web search data and AI to improve the
accuracy of forecasting tourist arrivals, offering valuable insights for understanding tourism trends.

Abstract. The application of the Land and Building Acquisition Tax (BPHTB) in PTSL remains a distinct issue. The tax imposed on the acquisition of land or building rights is known as BPHTB, and can affect how easily the PTSL program is accessed by low-income people.This research uses normative juridical research, which is research that refers to legal norms contained in laws and regulations.The PTSL program not only aims to provide land certificates to the community, but also has an important role in tax management, especially BPHTB.The application of BPHTB in the PTSL program can have two results. First, BPHTB increases local revenues that can be used to finance development and public services including improving aspects of land administration. Conversely, BPHTB can give people a financial burden, especially for low-income groups who want to register their land. The success of PTSL in implementing BPHTB depends on raising public awareness about this policy. The implementation of the Land and Building Acquisition Fee (BPHTB) in the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) Program has a double impact on the effectiveness of this program.

Abstrak. Penerapan Bea Perolehan Hak atas Tanah dan Bangunan (BPHTB) dalam PTSL masih merupakan masalah yang berbeda. Pajak yang dikenakan atas perolehan hak tanah atau bangunan dikenal sebagai BPHTB, dan dapat memengaruhi seberapa mudah program PTSL diakses oleh masyarakat ekonomi rendah.Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian yuridis normatif, yaitu penelitian yang berpacu terhadap norma hukum yang terdapat di dalam peraturan perundang-undangan.Program PTSL tidak hanya bertujuan untuk memberikan sertifikat tanah kepada masyarakat, tetapi juga memiliki peran penting dalam pengelolaan pajak, khususnya BPHTB. penerapan BPHTB dalam program PTSL dapat memiliki dua hasil. Pertama, BPHTB meningkatkan pendapatan daerah yang dapat digunakan untuk membiayai pembangunan dan pelayanan publik termasuk meningkatkan aspek administrasi pertanahan. Sebaliknya, BPHTB dapat memberi masyarakat beban keuangan, terutama bagi kelompok berpenghasilan rendah yang ingin mendaftarkan tanah mereka. Keberhasilan PTSL dalam penerapan BPHTB bergantung pada peningkatan kesadaran masyarakat tentang kebijakan ini. Penerapan Bea Perolehan Hak atas Tanah dan Bangunan (BPHTB) dalam Program Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap (PTSL) memiliki dampak ganda terhadap efektivitas program ini.

The purpose of this study was to analyze rehabilitation and treatment strategies for violent offenders in light of criminal psychology doctrines. The present research is qualitative, based on a descriptive-analytical approach. The method for gathering information and data in this study is library-based. The tool used under such a method is note-taking. This study initially describes and introduces the major and key concepts of the discussion to avoid redefining them during the primary analysis. This section details two main themes of the discussion: mental illnesses and violent crimes, along with their respective details and attachments. The next section aims to address the role of mental illness from a legal perspective, along with legislative, preventive, punitive, and other aspects of violent crimes within the framework of law and punishment. According to Article 203 of the Criminal Procedure Code, “In crimes punishable by death, amputation, life imprisonment, or fourth-degree or higher discretionary punishments, as well as in intentional crimes against physical integrity, for which the compensation (diyah) amounts to one-third of the full diyah or more, the investigating judge is obliged to issue an order to establish a personal file for the accused with the social services unit during the investigation process.” This personal file, separate from the criminal file, includes: (a) a social worker’s report on the financial, family, and social situation of the accused, and (b) a medical and psychiatric report. Additionally, under Paragraph (c) of Article 279 of this code, a summary of the personal file or the mental status of the accused is one of the elements to be mentioned in the indictment. The legislator implicitly addressed the issue of creating a personal file in several articles of the Islamic Penal Code, including Article 18, which states: “Discretionary punishment is a penalty that does not fall under the categories of hudud, qisas, or diyah and is determined and implemented by law in cases of the commission of religiously prohibited acts or violations of governmental regulations. The type, amount, method of execution, and regulations concerning mitigation, suspension, termination, and other discretionary rulings are determined by law.”

This study seeks to identify learning models that affect students' mathematics learning outcomes. Students at SMPN 3 Paron have poor or low learning outcomes, especially in the field of Harmony in the Triangle, because the indicators of the learning process in the school have not been optimal. One of the learning models that can be used is the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model with a contextual approach. This quantitative study used Postest only Control Design, with three samples selected using saturated sampling, one class as the experimental class and one class as the control class, and using one class, namely class VIII B as the test class. The samples have been distributed normally and homogeneousl. Data analysis using the T. Teams Games Tournament Test produced an average of 42.44, the conventional learning model produced an average of 62.39. Students who were taught using the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model with a contextual approach obtained a better average and outperformed students who were taught using the convenive model or only the TGT model, as the calculation of this study obtained (Thitung = 3.024 is greater than Ttable = 2.120).

Adsorption is a separation process on a particular substance based on the affinity of a compound to a solid. The adsorption process requires an adsorbent as an absorbent material and an adsorbate as an absorbed component. The adsorbent that is often used to absorb Cu2+ ions is silica gel. Silica gel is a rigid gel that is amorphous. In silica gel there are two main bonding groups, namely siloxane and silanol groups which cause silica gel to easily absorb polar molecules, especially water. The purpose of this research is to get the best mass of silica and the effect of the initial concentration of Cu ions on the final concentration of Cu metal. In this study, two operating conditions were varied, namely the mass of silica gel adsorbent 0.4 grams; 0.6 grams; 0.8 grams; 1 gram; 1.2 grams and the initial concentration of Cu metal 3 ppm; 4 ppm; 5 ppm; 6 ppm; 7 ppm. The results of this study showed that the silica content of bagasse ash was 70.97% with a surface area of 283.802 m2/g. The best result of this study reduced the content of copper metal (Cu) by 88% in the condition of silica gel mass of 1.2 grams. The adsorption isotherm shows that the data is more in line with the Freundlich equation. The resulting equation is y = 0.4268x + 0.4969 with an R2 value of 0.9837.

Students need to have mathematical problem-solving skills to solve mathematical problems both in school and in real life. But in reality, students' mathematical problem-solving skills are still low. This study aims to analyze students' mathematical solving abilities from the perspective of gender differences, so that teachers can find the right solutions to improve students' abilities. This research is a qualitative research. The instruments used in this study are test questions and interview guidelines. The subjects of this study were three students taken from 20 students in grade VIII MTs Azzainiyah II. The subject consists of one student representing each of the high, medium, and low abilities. The results of the study showed that the mathematical solving ability of female students was better than that of male students. In the group of high-ability students, female students can meet all four indicators of the mathematical problem-solving stage, while male students can only meet the three indicators of the mathematical problem-solving stage. In the group of moderate-ability students, female students can meet three indicators of the mathematical problem-solving stage, while male students can only meet two indicators of the mathematical problem-solving stage. In the group of low-ability students, female students can meet two indicators of the mathematical problem-solving stage, while male students can only meet one indicator of the mathematical problem-solving stage.
