Published: July 2024

As an environmentally friendly and renewable energy solution, wind power is rapidly gaining favour worldwide due to its gentle impact on the environment. Nevertheless, the potential environmental risks posed by discarded wind turbine blades still need to be brought to our attention. Therefore, exploring ways to recycle and reuse discarded wind turbine blades has become an urgent task in the field of environmental protection. This study focuses on the incorporation of recycled glass fibres from crushed wind turbine blades into concrete to assess their benefits in engineering practice. In this study, we used four different particle sizes of recycled glass fibres, 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-15mm and 15-20mm, and incorporated them into the concrete at four different admixture levels of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8%. By comprehensively examining its workability, mechanical properties and microstructure, we found that although the incorporation of glass fibres reduced the apparent density, slump and compressive strength of the concrete to a certain extent, it significantly improved the split tensile and flexural strengths of the concrete, as well as effectively improved the brittleness of the material and enhanced its toughness. These findings reveal the feasibility of recycling glass fibres from decommissioned wind turbine blades and applying them to concrete. This study not only opens up a new path for environmentally friendly recycling and reuse of wind turbine blades, but also provides a valuable reference for practical engineering applications, with significant social and economic benefits.

Authors: Kumar Saurav
Published: July 2024

Strategic decision-making is a key tool to drive business growth. It helps figure out the best way of achieving a business objective, provided an organization has a decision-making process that involves a well-defined set of policies that must be adhered to by all. Strategic decision making is used in competitive companies and is intended to give a company a competitive advantage by transitioning its scope and the way the company runs its activities. The difference between strategic decision-making and other decision-making processes like administrative and operational is that strategic decision-making is a long-term process which needs to be done very carefully by taking into account all the resources to be utilized and keeping in mind all uncertainties which may occur. Administrative decisions are short-term strategies. Strategic decision-making keeps the company's long-term future in mind, unlike other decision-making processes. The research aims to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of how things work in strategic decision making. The research by reviewing the literature and previous studies the research indicates that the strategic decision-making process plays an important role in the effective performance of the organization. The study also showed that how strategic improvisation is done in intelligent organizations and the interconnection of SDM’S with managerial functions.

Authors: F. Mohammed Mustafa , Qasim Mohammed A.
Published: July 2024

Multilevel inverters are vastly used in power systems and “renewable energy sources” (RES) to provide an AC voltage with a low level of harmonic contents. This paper aims to design a 9-level inverter for RES such as photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines, and fuel cells… etc. The proposed inverter is constructed by 12 IGBT switching devices where all of which are powered by 4 DC sources of 81 V without balancing capacitors to make DC voltage 324 V. A Phase disposition (PD), alternative phase opposition disposition (APOD), and POD with a slight phase shift are the methods of modulations that are used to provide a sinusoidal waveform of the output voltage and current. The minimum “Total harmonic distortion” (THD %) of the output voltage of the inverter is 13.68 % and 1.7 % in the cases where there is no filter and with filter conditions respectively. The load voltage is regulated by a PI controller based on the RMS value of the inverter output voltage.

Published: July 2024

The emergence of deepfake technology has spurred the need for robust and adaptive methods to detect manipulated media content. This study explores the integration of the Integrate-backward-integrate (IbI) Logic Optimization Algorithm with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for enhanced deepfake detection. The proposed approach involves a multi-phase iterative process: the CNN initially trained on a diverse dataset encompassing both real and deepfake images. The CNN serves as the foundation for the IbI-driven optimization. The integration phase employs the trained CNN to forward-integrate images, classifying them as real or deepfake. Subsequently, the IbI Logic Optimization Algorithm engages in the backward phase, utilizing feedback from the CNN's performance to iteratively refine the network's parameters, architecture, and feature extraction capabilities. This iterative optimization process aims to adaptively enhance the CNN's ability to discern subtle nuances between authentic and manipulated visuals. The re-integration phase evaluates the refined CNN's performance through multiple iterations, seeking to iteratively improve deepfake detection accuracy. Validation occurs using separate datasets to prevent overfitting and ensure the model's generalizability. The proposed method aims to enhance the CNN's adaptability to evolving deepfake techniques, addressing the dynamic nature of manipulative media creation. This fusion of IbI Logic Optimization with CNNs presents a promising avenue for bolstering deepfake detection capabilities. However, the effectiveness of this approach relies on dataset quality, network architecture, and the dynamic nature of deepfake generation techniques. Continuous refinement and validation are essential to adapt the model to new challenges posed by advancing deepfake technologies.

Authors: Seo Young Cheon ,   Korea Real Estate Society
Published: July 2024

The domestic real estate market and brokerage market are gradually weakening their competitiveness due to the market structure centered on individuals and small businesses. Accordingly, in order to actively respond to changes in domestic and foreign conditions, expand services in the brokerage industry, and strengthen the competitiveness of the brokerage industry, the government is inducing the incorporation and enlargement of the real estate brokerage industry.
In this study, it was revealed that incorporation and enlargement cannot be a solution to the organization of licensed real estate agents to promote the professionalism of brokers and improve brokerage services to the public while overcoming the smallness of private licensed real estate agents, and derived brokerage cooperatives as an alternative as a practical alternative. Currently, the legal conflicts between the “Licensed Real Estate Agents Act” and the “Framework Act on Cooperatives” can be resolved through the revision of the “Licensed Real Estate Agents Act”. In addition, under the current legal system, it is necessary to operate a cooperative focusing on supporting the brokerage business, such as strengthening the capabilities of “Licensed Real Estate Agents Act”, under the current legal system, which is one of the best ways to organize and operate immediately.

Introduction. The global community is increasingly using patients' prescription claims data as a dominant method for assessing medication adherence, which encouraged us to conduct this study.Aim. To adapt the existing international experience of using digital technologies to measure medication adherence to the routine practice of domestic health care at the outpatient level.Methods. We conducted a retrospective study of adherence to statin therapy in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) at a large primary care clinic in Moscow, which included 2 stages: 1st stage — compilation of international experience on medication adherence studies using pharmacy dispensing records; 2nd stage — testing the method of electronic prescription refill record to measure adherence. We calculated the proportion of days covered (PDC) by statin therapy over a 12‑month period following MI. Data on demography, anamnesis, lipid profile, and statin prescriptions were obtained from the electronic medical records of patients with acute MI from January 1 — December 31, 2022. A total of 109 patients were included according to the prespecified selection criteria.Results. An analysis of international experience demonstrated that the pharmacy dispensing record method has become widespread in recent decades in foreign countries and has established itself as an objective, noninvasive, and inexpensive method for measuring medication adherence. The study of adherence to statin therapy in post-MI patients using the electronic prescription refill record method revealed a mean PDC = 63.0±29.7 %. Optimal adherence (PDC≥80 %) throughout the 12‑month follow-up period was noted in 38 % of patients. When PDC was calculated separately for the 1st and 2nd half year, it was found that the proportion of patients with optimal adherence decreased by 17.6 % (p=0.04). Adherence correlated with the efficacy of statin therapy — a more pronounced reduction of LDL–C was observed in patients with PDC≥80 % compared with those who were insufficiently adherent (–1.47±1.09 vs –0.96±1.16 mmol/L; p=0.043).Conclusion. This study demonstrated the efficiency and information value of an electronic prescription refill record system for domestic primary care. After operational tuning, the proposed method can be integrated into EMIAS for routine medication adherence assessment.

Decoding Operational Latitude of Russian Private Military Companies (PMCs): A Case Study of Wagner Group in Syria
Authors: Ayesha Ashraf  , Qudsia Akram
Published: July 2024

The usage of private military companies (PMCs) has remained rampant among significant powers of the world since the Cold War. Historically, PMCs emerged as small contractors in the beginning but gradually attained multiplicity with distinctive capabilities. The Russian Wagner Group provides multi-dimensional and sophisticated support to the Putin Administration. The Group accounts for an operational latitude which is advanced, diplomatic, and target-oriented, and maneuvers Russian strength in both Syria and Ukraine. Russian mercenaries are state-specific, i.e., the use of Wagner Group in Syria and Ukraine, making it challenging for the opposition to understand the functioning and administration of these companies. By 2019, the Group remained covert yet precarious for its enemies. However, the new advancements suggest that the idea of plausible deniability is now shifting towards overt use as well as far-reaching proprietorship of the Group as a branch of Russian military interests. The research focuses on the private structure of Wagner Group paving the way for new challenges towards the NATO countries, shifting from conventional military threats from Russia towards overt, opportunist, and task-oriented PMCs.

The main thrust of this research was to contribute to theory building in the Theory of Higher Education (PPT) and their applicability in Oman and globally looking at the broader issues of students, academic work, and the place for higher education in society. The research explored gaps in knowledge regarding this theory as a contribution to knowledge, and in this instance, the Oman and global higher education industry was the epicentre of the research and was expected to meet foremost the needs of industry and government as employers of graduated students, then the needs of students and society in knowledge and innovation. This research was conceptual research using literature review only. A barrier is anything that prevents the system from achieving its goal likegetting enough students, doing academic work and finally poor resourcing. The main reasons giving rise to this research were the facts that some colleges and universities in the world faced challenges in assessment, quality, graduate employability and suitability for industry. The main objective of this research was to contribute to theory building in the Theory of Higher Education and identify critical success factors. The secondary objective was employability of graduates as the end product, maximising knowledge creation and innovation. Qualitative research method in the form of conceptual research was used in this research. The main findings were that lack of practicals/diverse teaching methods, lack of compulsory internship, unfair assessment, balancing classes with free time, the need for diversity in terms of faculty, uncommitted students, incompetent faculty, outdated syllabus, students from high schools not being college ready, graduates not matching industry requirements were the main issues.

This study aims to identify the factors that support and hinder classroom management strategies and evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing the quality of learning. The research methodology employed is descriptive in nature and adopts a qualitative approach. The primary data sources consist of interviews, observations, and documentation obtained from school principals, teachers, and staff members. Secondary data sources include relevant journals, books, and websites. The data analysis entails data display, data reduction, and drawing conclusions. The findings of the study reveal the following: 1) Teachers employ various strategies in classroom management such as maintaining a positive classroom atmosphere, adopting personal approaches towards students, organizing seating arrangements, providing individual attention, and offering constructive warnings. These efforts significantly contribute to improving the learning process and outcomes. 2) The supporting factors for effective classroom management strategies encompass the availability of adequate facilities, a relevant school curriculum, teachers' abilities and competencies, a conducive learning environment, collaborative interactions among teachers, school administrators, and principals, an efficient school management system, and a strong teacher-student rapport. 3) Teachers also employ strategic initiatives in classroom management, including the provision of school facilities, the inclusion of Quranic reading prior to lessons, the enhancement of teacher competence, self-evaluation by teachers throughout the planning and implementation stages of teaching, including lesson planning, and efforts to assess the students' circumstances. In conclusion, enhancing the quality of learning is contingent not only upon the efforts of teachers but also necessitates support from various factors, such as teacher competence, adequate facilities and infrastructure, and a conducive learning environment.

We probe the separation of ligands from iron tetracarbonyl methyl acrylate (Fe(CO)4(C4H6O2) or Fe(CO)4MA) induced by the interaction with free electrons. The motivation comes from the possible use of this molecule as a nanofabrication precursor and from the corresponding need to understand its elementary reactions fundamental to the electron-induced deposition. We utilize two complementary electron collision setups and support the interpretation of data by quantum chemical calculations. This way, both the dissociative ionization and dissociative electron attachment fragmentation channels are characterized. Considerable differences in the degree of precursor fragmentation in these two channels are observed. Interesting differences also appear when this precursor is compared to structurally similar iron pentacarbonyl. The present findings shed light on the recent electron-induced chemistry of Fe(CO)4MA on a surface under ultrahigh vacuum.

Biofilm formation is one of main causes of bacterial antimicrobial resistance infections. It is known that the soluble lectins LecA and LecB, produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, play a key role in biofilm formation and lung infection. Bacterial lectins are therefore attractive targets for the development of new antibiotic-sparing anti-infective drugs. Building synthetic glycoconjugates for the inhibition and modulation of bacterial lectins have shown promising results. Light-sensitive lectin ligands could allow the modulation of lectins activity with precise spatiotemporal control. Despite the potential of photoswitchable tools, few photochromic lectin ligands have been developed. We have designed and synthesized several O- and S-galactosyl azobenzenes as photoswitchable ligands of LecA and evaluated their binding affinity with isothermal titration calorimetry. We show that the synthesized monovalent glycoligands possess excellent photophysical properties and strong affinity for targeted LecA with Kd values in the micromolar range. Analysis of the thermodynamic contribution indicates that the Z-azobenzene isomers have a systematically stronger favorable enthalpy contribution than the corresponding E-isomers, but due to stronger unfavorable entropy, they are in general of lower affinity. The validation of this proof-of-concept and the dissection of thermodynamics of binding will help for the further development of lectin ligands that can be controlled by light.
