Abrasion resistance of camouflage coating systems
Authors:   F.H. Barwa company, Faculty of Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering, Kielce University of Technology, Michalski Marek
Published: December 2024

The aim of this article is to evaluate the abrasion resistance of camouflage coating systems according to the D4060-10 standard using the Taber Abraser. The method is a standard test for assessing the resistance of coatings to mechanical wear by simulating the abrasion process that occurs during exploitation. The abrasion resistance of camouflage coatings is crucial, especially in the context of military applications. Camouflage coatings are used on military vehicles, equipment and devices to ensure their ability to camouflage in various environments. High abrasion resistance ensures that the camouflage pattern does not wear out quickly, which is important for effective camouflage. The study analyzed three different coating camouflage systems that were subjected to a test to determine their durability and effectiveness under conditions of intensive abrasion. The results obtained allowed for a comparison of the resistance of these systems. The obtained data provide valuable information for further development of camouflage coating systems with increased abrasion resistance, which is of great importance for military and industrial applications.

The lifestyle change resulting from the pandemic has led to a notable increase in the amount of time spent in residential interiors. This has resulted in an expansion of the range of activities performed in these spaces, which now encompass not only basic living functions but also work and access to culture. The evolution of interior design in an era of widespread migration, climate risks, demographic and social changes is evidenced by the changing functions, technologies and materials that are developing and expanding on a daily basis. This article presents a study of the visual perception of architectural interiors in representatives of different cultures, specifically those of Chinese (Vietnamese), Orthodox (Greek) and Western (Polish) civilizational backgrounds. The aim is to identify differences derived from cultural backgrounds. The objective of the study was to identify features that are sensitive to cultural diversity in interior design. In order to create fully inclusive interior design, it is essential to understand how interiors are perceived and how they affect the user by representatives of different audiences with different cultural backgrounds. This understanding can be used to preserve local identities, avoid globalisation and create fully inclusive places that are adapted to the needs of all users regardless of their ability or origin. The research has resulted in interior design guidelines that take into account the cultural diversity of users.

Authors: Ordoñez-Iturralde Darwin Daniel , Proaño-Piedra Christian Xavier
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo explora cómo la inteligencia artifcial (IA) impacta en la gestión empresarial a nivel internacional, examinando la equidad, gobernanza y desafíos éticos que acarrea su adopción. Así mismo, se destaca cómo la fragmentación regulatoria entre diferentes regiones, como la Unión Europea, Estados Unidos y China, difculta la creación de modelos coherentes de gobernanza y aumenta la incertidumbre en las operaciones. Además, se abordan dilemas éticos como los sesgos algorítmicos y la tensión entre la privacidad de los usuarios y la personalización de los servicios. Se examinan estrategias de empresas líderes, como la realización de auditorías algorítmicas y el establecimiento de políticas de transparencia, que buscan fomentar la confanza del público y mejorar la reputación corporativa. No obstante, obstáculos como la falta de talento especializado y la resistencia interna de las organizaciones difcultan la adopción de prácticas éticas sostenibles. Finalmente, este análisis sugiere que las empresas que inviertan en marcos de gobernanza adaptativos y colaboren con gobiernos y actores privados estarán mejor preparadas para enfrentar los desafíos cambiantes de la IA y competir en el mercado global.

Infrastructure Development and Economic Growth Nexus: The Nigeria Experience
Authors: Ifoghere Juliet Onome , Olele Hilda Enoh
Published: December 2024

This study examined the impact of government infrastructural development on transportation (IFDT), road (IFDR), water (IFDW) and telecommunication (ITEL) as they influence the growth process of the Nigerian economy, proxy by real GDP (RGDP), from 1990 to 2023. Data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin (various issues), World Development Indicators (WDI), and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Four models were estimated to capture the influence of infrastructure development on GDP growth. The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Phillips Perron (PP) unit root tests were conducted to ascertain the level of stationarity of the series. Descriptive statistics and econometric methods of Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model and Granger causality estimation tests were conducted to examine the long run relationship of the series.The analysis revealed that infrastructure development on transport services (IFDT) was positive and significant in explaining changes in real GDP of Nigeria. However, Infrastructure development on road (IFDR), water (IFDW) and telecommunication (ITEL) were negative and not significant in explaining changes in Nigeria’s real GDP within the study period. On this basis therefore, the study concludes that there is no long run relationship between the dependent variable (RGDP) and the explanatory variables (IFDT, IFDR, IFDW and ITEL). It was recommended that the government, in partnership with the private sector, should increase her investment in the provision of infrastructural facilities that are reliable, durable and affordable to the people, as this will not just reduce the cost of doing business but also attract foreign investors into the country. Proper and dedicated maintenance culture of existing infrastructure facilities should be prioritized as this will save government huge amount that can be channeled into other areas of development.
Eastern Europe Conflicts: Does Russia Occupies Ukraine?
Authors: Alaye Adekunle , Ogunbanwo Oludare
Published: December 2024

The overwhelming majority of the world considers Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, an unlawful occupation. Russia’s seizure of Crimea was the first time since the Second World War that a European state annexed the territory of another. Although the Russian government denies it, Russian “volunteers” and regular troops are also present in the two self-proclaimed pro-Russian “people’s republics” in the Donbas region near the Russian border. However, exploiting the late 14th-century decline of Mongol power, the Grand Principality of Moscow and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (the latter eventually uniting with Poland) divided the former Russia lands. A new social group of Ukrainian Cossacks developed on the southern frontier of Poland, guarding it against Crimean Tatar raids. The Ukrainian Cossacks were a large group of free people, many of them were peasant serfs, who guarded the southern steppe border of Poland against Turkish and Tatar raids. The concept of ‘Ukraine’ already existed, but locals continued calling themselves ‘Rusyns’, while referring to the future Russians as ‘Muscovites’. By the early 17th century, the Orthodox Christian population of the Ukrainian lands had become antagonized by Catholic Poland’s religious policies and the spread of serfdom – a form of slavery in which peasants were bound to the land and sold with it. A 1648 Cossack rebellion led by Hetman (military leader) Bohdan Khmelnytsky (1595–1657) became a mass social and religious war against Polish rule, resulting in the creation of the Hetmanate, a Cossack polity nominally autonomous under the Polish king but independent in fact. Searching for allies against Poland, Khmelnytsky accepted the “protection” of the Orthodox Russian tsar in the 1654 Treaty of Pereiaslav. The exact meaning of “protection” continues to be debated today, but subsequent Russian policies affected the absorption of the Cossack lands, especially after Hetman Ivan Mazepa’s (1639–1709) failed attempt in 1709 to break with Moscow.

Published: December 2024

A number of issues arise from Nigeria's lack of a regulated and effective system for evaluating the credentials and abilities of artisans in the building sector, including ineffective verification, subjective evaluation, restricted accessibility, a lack of standardisation, and security issues. The study aimed to assess severity of skill shortages in the Nigerian building construction artisans. The study adopts descriptive survey design and quantitative approach was used as study approach, survey strategy was adopted and data were collected through questionnaire survey. The study also adopts simple random sampling technique and SPSS software version 22 was used for data analysis tools. A descriptive analysis type using mean ranking technique and (percentage) were used for the analysis. The study revealed that practicing building construction artisans in Nigeria lack the requisite anger management skills at their workplaces, delay in building projects delivery in Nigeria. Also, practicing building construction artisans in Nigeria lack the requisite health, safety and house-keeping skills at their workplaces and lack of institutionalization of the NSQ leads to skill shortages for the industry were the major points of consideration when looking at the skill shortages for the building construction delivery in Nigeria. Provision of adequate competency-based trainers was rated the most important strategy, suggesting that qualified trainers are essential for effective skill development. Periodic capacity building for practicing artisans, regular training and development programs for existing artisans was considered crucial for maintaining and enhancing their skills. Also, enactment of enabling legislation for the national building code enforcement and a strong regulatory framework is seen as necessary to ensure industry standards and compliance.

Authors: Uwah Idongesit Victor , Bokolo Faith
Published: December 2024

The study revalidated the “Renolds Adaptable Intelligence Test (RAIT-NV)” for use in Nigeria. Instrumentation design was used. The researcher purchased and administered four hundred (469) copies of Raynolds Adaptable Intelligence Test-Non-Verbal (RAIT-NV) to a sample drawn across educational institutions, hospitals, corporate organizations and religious bodies. Before then, the researcher had quickly carried out a pilot test using 100 respondents to determine the validity and reliability of RAIT-NV in its original form. Discriminant validation process was used in determining the validity while test retest was used in determining its reliability. For the earlier, the Leibowitz social anxiety scale was administered alongside RAIT-NV. After the scores the researcher correlated the scores and an index of 0.13 was realized testifying the discrepancy in these scales. The test retest also showed a correlation coefficient of 0.86 indicating a high reliability. For determination of reliability, the researcher used Cronbach Alpha, split half method and KR20. In determining the mean differences in the groups, the researcher used ANOVA and t-test in the process. The result showed that thirty (30) and thirty-three (33) items were either too difficult or easy for respondents here in Nigeria. Hence, thirty-two (32) items were considered normal with overall difficulty index for RAIT-NV is 0.55 (55%) in Nigeria. Nineteen (19) items discriminated better. Construct validity showed that there is a significant difference in age while there were non in terms of educational level, ethnic groups and gender. Internal consistency reliability reveals that overall Cronbach of 0.66, KR20 of 0.62 for NVA and 0.58 for SEQ and Split-Half reliability index of 0.07 for NVA and 0.18 for SEQ.

However, the learning process of these medical terms is not always a pleasant experience that is free of difficulties. Learning medical terms, which are from Latin/Greek origin, are somewhat challenging to all students, particularly those whose first language is not English. This research aims to explore any difficulties that Kuwaiti students face when learning these terms. The participants were from PAAET’s two science colleges, and data were collected from a sequential mixed-method design; the first phase involved a questionnaire where 185 students took part. The second phase involved semi-structured interviews with six students. The findings revealed that the majority of students had difficulties in learning medical terms, and these difficulties had several effects on their academic attainment and learning experiences. The findings also showed that students implement several strategies to help them overcome any obstacles they face when learning these terms.
Provision of Comprehensive Sexuality Education in Tanzania Primary Schools: Success and Barriers
Authors: Losioki Bertha E.
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to examine the provision of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) among school children in Primary schools. Comprehensive sexuality education creates an opportunity of acquiring life skills and knowledge about sexuality and body functions. CSE is provided in compulsory programmes whose curriculum and subject syllabus regulate the content for sexuality education and relationships. However, the integration of CSE in the education system is still a challenge due to cultural, social and economic factors. This study examined the provision of CSE among learners in primary school. The study employed a qualitative research approach and documentary review to collect data. The major findings showed that the coverage of CSE key topics and concepts in the curricula and in subject’s syllabuses was adequate and the provision of education on infection and HIV prevention was reported as high. However, the number of trained teachers who can teach aspects on infection and HIV prevention was inadequate. Also, socio –cultural barriers limit effective provision of CSE among school children. Therefore, the relevant Ministry (PO-RALG) should facilitate the availability of qualified teachers in order to strengthen CSE provision in schools. Equally important, participation of Education stakeholders in addressing socio – cultural barriers that lead to school dropout and early pregnancies among school children is emphasized.

Impact Of Recommender Systems in E-Commerce – A Worldwide Empirical Analysis
Authors: Cilacı Tombuş Ayşe , Eroğlu Ergin , Altun İbrahim Halil
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Industrial recommender systems are increasingly being used in e-commerce to personalize the shopping experience for customers, leading to improved customer satisfaction and increased sales for businesses. Although e-commerce has been spread over the world, there is not an empirical study to evaluate the performance of recommender systems for business purposes using data mining techniques and big data. In this study we have focused on real global e-commerce data for different countries, industries, and scales to see the effect of recommender systems in terms of contribution rate, click through rate, conversion rate and revenues through use of big data and data analysis techniques. We used the average values of 200 different electronic commerce (e-commerce) web sites among 25 different countries in 5 different regions. This is the first study in literature which uses and analyses the empirical data in this scale from different e-commerce web sites globally.

Keywords: Recommender systems, e-commerce, big data, data mining, data analysis
Transição energética: de que falamos afinal? Contribuições ao debate sobre implementação de políticas públicas
Authors: Monteiro Neto Aristides
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo são problematizados alguns aspectos da implementação de políticas públicas relacionadas ao desafio da transição energética. Busca-se refletir sobre a natureza histórica dos processos de transição energética e sua relação com políticas governamentais. A mensagem central é que a ação governamental deve ser prefigurada como um mix de políticas que visam consolidar um processo histórico de transição energética. O grande desafio posto é o de coordenação de um conjunto de políticas destinadas a orientar uma nova trajetória de produção, consumo e distribuição de energias em bases renováveis.
Benefícios fiscais do imposto sobre a renda das pessoas físicas e seus impactos redistributivos
Authors: Silveira Fernando Gaiger , Passos Luana , Fernandes Rodrigo Cardoso
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os impactos distributivos de algumas rendas isentas e deduções no Imposto sobre a Renda das Pessoas Físicas (IRPF). Para tanto, criou-se uma base de dados por meio de metodologia de associação da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares, do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (POF/IBGE), relativa ao período 2008-2009, com informações da Receita Federal do Brasil (RFB) para o ano-base 2008. A metodologia foi identificar os favorecidos pelos benefícios tributários e os gastos decorrentes, para, então, fazer um contrafactual do impacto no Gini da ausência desses benefícios. Os achados apontam benefícios fiscais altamente concentrados no topo (isenção de lucros e dividendos e das pensões aos portadores de doenças crônicas), intermediários (deduções com gastos em saúde) e menos concentrados (parcela isenta para as aposentadorias e pensões e deduções com gastos em educação). A extinção dos benefícios fiscais aumentaria o poder de redução do Gini via IRPF em 3,30% (educação) e 9,92% (saúde), com notável impacto de 55% para a implementação da tributação progressiva dos lucros e dividendos.
Margens intensiva e extensiva nas decisões de fecundidade: evidências para o Brasil
Authors: Pereira Juliana Patrícia Alves , Monte Paulo Aguiar do , Souza Wallace Patrick Santos de Farias , Mesquita Shirley Pereira de
Published: December 2024

A redução da taxa de fecundidade abaixo do nível de reposição da população gera uma redução no volume populacional e seu envelhecimento. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as mudanças na taxa de fecundidade no Brasil observando esse processo ao longo das margens intensiva e extensiva. Os parâmetros da margem intensiva da fecundidade foram estimados, primeiramente, por regressão linear, por meio do modelo de mínimos quadrados ordinários (MQO), e, em seguida, foram utilizados os modelos de regressão de Poisson e binomial negativa, possibilitando uma comparação dos parâmetros estimados pelos dois modelos e conferindo maior robustez aos resultados. Com relação à margem extensiva, seus parâmetros foram estimados por meio do modelo probit. A base de dados contempla os Censos Demográficos dos anos de 1991, 2000 e 2010. Os resultados mostram evidências de aumento da taxa de fecundidade nas margens intensiva e extensiva quando ocorre melhora nas condições de investimento na qualidade das crianças.

Beyond SDGs: quest for a new development paradigm through G20 Lens
Authors: Chakrabarti Milindo , Sharma Pratyush
Published: December 2024

The quest for an alternative development paradigm has become significant in view of the multiple crises faced by the global community. The increased concern about achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 is a clear indication of inability of existing development paradigm to help us achieve the desired objectives. Development has for a considerable time been argued to be achieved through optimisation of individual interests with a belief that it would automatically result in maximising aggregate welfare. However, the complex interactions among economic, social, cultural, political, environmental, and ecological spaces and the resulting plethora of crises make us realise that development calls for a collective effort that engages the simultaneous interactions, not only among the individuals but also with nature to ensure sustainable existence for all – the fundamental objective of sustainable development. The Group of Twenty (G20) as a collective platform of countries must play an effective role in delivering development as a collective good. The diplomatic clout and strategic stature of the G20 must bring an amplified change in our interactions with each other and with the planet. The prevalence of the conceptual paradigm of individual-led development was necessitated by two most cliqued understanding in the contemporary development discourse: development being understood synonymously with gross national product (GNP)-led growth, and the reversible and limitless nature of resources being exploited to achieve growth. This perspective is getting questioned as it is clear that one’s development is not achieved without meaningful contributions from others. It is even argued that one’s freedom today is often the result of unfreedom of some others as development pursued so far has mostly resulted from extraction – both from nature and other individuals. This realisation has resulted in the coinage of the term “no one left behind” as the spirit of sustainable development. The paper engages in a discussion on interlinked nature of development along the socio-economic, enviro-ecological, and physical strands of development and proposes a new “development paradigm” that involves dynamic interactions among these strands to ensure sustainable development in reality and argues that G20 platform is required to play an active role in ensuring the necessary interlinkages.
A Sense of Class: Representations of Embodiment in Cornwall’s Subterranean Environments, ca. 1850–1910
Authors: FERRIDAY LENA
Published: December 2024

Examining the tales of visits inside Cornish mines in the late nineteenth century, this article argues that middle-class representation of miners’ bodies as simultaneously both robust and vulnerable was indebted to encounters with the physical environment. It takes a sensory lens to demonstrate that the mine was not a homogeneous space, and that the different sensory environments of the mine shaped class interactions in particular ways. In doing so, this article makes two distinct contributions. Firstly, it demonstrates that doing environmental history in unconventional settings offers new accounts of class relations. Secondly, it attends to the importance of integrating sensory and embodied considerations into environmental histories of work, not only because labouring bodies often lie at the heart of industrialism, but because the class relations latent within these industries were also prefigured on frameworks of sensory norms.
