Beyond Financialisation? Transformative Strategies for More Sustainable Financial Markets in the European Union

The global financial crisis has led many regulators and lawmakers to a rethinking about current versus optimum financial market structures and activities that include a variety and even radical ideas about deleveraging and downsizing finance. This paper focuses on the flaws and shortcomings of regulatory reforms of finance and on the necessity of and scope for more radical transformative strategies. With ‘crisis economics’ back, the most developed countries, including the EU member states, are still on the edge of disaster and confronted with systemic risk. Changes in financial regulation adopted in the aftermath of the financial meltdown have not been radical enough to transform the overall system of finance-driven capitalism towards a more sustainable system with a more embedded finance. The paper discusses financialisation in order to understand the development trends in finance over the past decades and examines various theories to describe the typical trends and patterns in financial regulation. By focusing on a limited number of regulatory reforms in the European Union, the limitations of current reforms and the need for additional transformative strategies necessary to overcome the finance-driven accumulation regime are explored. Finally, the regulatory space for such transformative strategies and for taming finance in times of crisis, austerity, and increased public protest potential is analysed.

Interface characterization in tungsten fiber/Zr-based bulk metallic glass matrix composite
Authors: MOFID Mohammad Ammar , JAFARZADEGAN Mostafa
Published: August 2022

In this research, Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloy is used as the base material to form tungsten fiber reinforced BMG composites. The composites are synthetized using melt infiltration casting method and their microstructure and compressive properties are investigated. Two different infiltration times of 10 min and 15 min are used to produce the composites. The microstructural evaluation of the interface between tungsten fiber and BMG matrix reveals that a narrow reaction band emerges between the tungsten wires and BMG alloy. Some portions of this layer are broken into the fine Zr/W-rich particles and eventually are dispersed in the BMG matrix, when the infiltration time is 15 min. The results also showed that increasing the infiltration time from 10 min to 15 min improves the compression strength of the composite from 1333 MPa to 1396 MPa and also increases the compression strain of the composite from 0.11 to 0.13. This is attributed to the lack of porosities and better metallurgical bonding between tungsten fibers and BMG matrix.

The current study deals with the fabrication and investigation of wear characteristics of Aluminium 6061(Al6061) hybrid metal matrix composites (MMCs) processed through powder metallurgy technique. Al6061 hybrid MMCs involving fixed 2 wt% of coated/uncoated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and varying weight percentages of graphene were fabricated through ball milling procedure. To enhance the scattering of MWCNTs in the matrix, MWCNTs were coated by means of copper through electroless deposition method. Dry sliding wear conduct of Al6061 MMCs was investigated using a pin-on-disc wear testing machine. It was found that at lower load, composites exhibited lower wear resistance than base alloy however at higher load, nanocomposites showed higher wear resistance. The research tried to find the effect of higher loads on the wear resistance. The composites were evaluated if they could give out reinforcements at higher loads during wear tests. The wear morphologies were reported using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and it was noticed that lower load abrasion was superior for the composites and base alloy although at higher loads adhesion was considered to be main reason for the wear of composites.

Authors: POOPAKDEE Nathawat , THAMMAWICHAI Warut
Published: August 2022

Fiberglass composite (FG) is widely used as a metal substitute in general applications due to its corrosion and chemical resistance, relatively high strength, and low cost. Still, the FG is deficient in performance and relatively heavy for airframes. Carbon fiber composite (CF) is utilized instead as it has greater performance and lower weight. However, the CF is brittle and expensive. Thus, in this work, we combine FG and CF into two types of hybrid composites to achieve a cost-effective solution with greater or comparable mechanical properties to those of CF. The first one uses FG as core and CF as skins (SWFG). The second one uses CF as core and FG as skins (SWCF). Their mechanical properties and cost-performance ratios (CPR) are compared. The results show that the mechanical properties of the SWFG composite, especially the modulus of elasticity, are considerably improved over the FG and nearly match those of the CF. Also, the SWFG has better CPR regarding tensile properties and flexural modulus than the SWCF and the CF. The SWFG shows promising potential as an alternative to the CF due to its comparable performance and almost 40% lower cost than the CF.

Published: August 2022

This research aimed to study the impacts of three different rotation speeds of 710, 1000, and 1400 rpm and three welding speeds of 40, 56, and 80 mm·min-1, on dissimilar butt joints between semi-solid aluminum 356 and AISI 1018 carbon steel. Welding tools were made from tungsten carbide material, and the offset was 0 mm. It was found that an increase in the rotation speed and welding speed caused accumulated heat, which led to the appropriate changes in the metallurgical structure. The rotation speed and welding speed factors had the impact on the greater blending of the two metals at the SZ zone. A larger amount of semi-solid aluminum 356 infiltrated into the AISI 1018 carbon steel when the rotation speed and welding speed increased. The findings showed that the most influencing factors on the average tensile strength at the weld lines were the rotation speed of 1000 rpm and the welding speed of 56 mm·min-1. The experiment in this study showed the maximum average tensile strength of 139.9 MPa and the average hardness value of 264.5 HV as the highest hardness value at the welding rotation speed of 1400 rpm and the welding speed of 80 mm·min-1.

Published: August 2022

This research investigated development of ground bottom ash (GBA) for a new geopolymer material. The compressive strength and porosity of the geopolymer mortar containing GBA were tested. The GBA-based geopolymer mortar mixtures were designed by control liquid to GBA ratio for all tests. Extra water was also used to maintain the workability of geopolymer mortar. The sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentrations of 10 M and 15 M were used. Furthermore, sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) ratios by mass such as 0.50, 1.50 and 2.50 were also used as alkali activator solutions. Effects of delay time and no-delay time, heat curing as well as the concentrations of NaOH and Na2SiO3 to NaOH ratios on compressive strength and porosity of the GBA geopolymer mortar were investigated. It was found that the increasing of NaOH concentration and Na2SiO3 to NaOH ratio reduce the workability of GBA geopolymer mortar. The high concentration of NaOH at 15 Molar gave the compressive strength at 1 day higher than that of GBA geopolymer mortar with low NaOH of 10 M. Furthermore, the GBA geopolymer mortar with high Na2SiO3 to NaOH ratio at 2.5 gave the highest compressive strength. 15 M-2.5 Si/Na mortar with delay time before heat curing at 75℃ gave the highest compressive strength of 23.0 MPa at 1 day. Moreover, the porosity of GBA geopolymer mortar was related to its compressive strength. The GBA binder is a new geopolymer material with good properties for concrete work.

Published: August 2022

This study focused on evaluating the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of polypropylene (PP) hybrid composites containing two different inorganic mineral fillers, namely wollastonite (WO) and talc. The composites were prepared by melt mixing process using a twin screw extruder and an injection molding machine. All composites contained a constant filler loading at 20 wt% with varying WO/talc weight ratios (20/0, 15/5, 10/10, 5/15, and 0/20). Melt flow index (MFI), mechanical properties (impact strength and tensile properties), heat distortion temperature (HDT) fractured surface morphology, and thermal behaviors of the resulting composites were investigated. The results revealed an enhancement in the MFI, HDT, impact strength, Young’s modulus, crystallization temperature, melting temperature, and degree of crystallinity with a decline in the elongation at break and a small increase in the tensile strength of the composites compared to those of the pure PP. These were according to the lubricating effect (increased flowability), reinforcing effects (increased mechanical properties), barrier properties (increased HDT and melting temperature), and nucleating effect (increased crystallization temperature and crystallinity) of the fillers.

Plant wealth of Darjiling and Sikkim Himalayas vis-à-vis conservation
Authors: Das A P , Ghosh Chandra
Published: August 2022

The richness of the flora of Darjiling Hills along with Sikkim and Nepal parts of the Eastern Himalaya is well known and that has attracted plant lovers, explorers and hunters almost equally for the last three centuries or so. The processes of evolution worked in this part of the Himalayas almost in an undisturbed condition for millions of years assisted by much varied but extremely favourable climatic conditions and has produced innumerable new species, a good proportion of which are still endemic to the region. The vegetation structure and the flora in different parts of this region have developed as per the local climatic make-up. So, when almost tropical vegetation is found on outer low altitude areas, it is sub-alpine to alpine to arctic in high altitude areas especially above 3000 m. Terai and Duars are located at the feet of the hills are maintaining a contiguous rich vegetation. The vegetation scenario in this region is changing very fast during last three or four decades mostly due to anthropogenic activities. Extension of civilisation along with the population explosion lead to the increase in forest extraction, rate of modification of floristic composition, pollution content, soil erosion, plant introduction, clearing of natural vegetation etc. There is evidence that the force of evolution is still active here but the lack of proper corridor (along with other factors mentioned above) for plant migration will certainly cause the weakening of numerous local species and the rate of extinction of species will increase in a logarithmic scale. Like any other part of this planet here also it appears to be one nearly impossible task to save the local biodiversity. Just the declaration of some Protected Areas is not enough. Activities through ecotourism are also affecting the conservation practices. Unless we succeed to conserve the natural vegetation on this planet the entire biosphere will be dead within next 100 years.

Authors: Nair D B
Published: August 2022

Measurement of chlorophyll content of leaves by the conventional laboratory method involves discriminate sampling. weighing. extraction and spectrophotometric measurements that become laborious and time consuming especially when large number of samples is processed at a time. Nowadays, hand-held chlorophyll content meters are widely used for rapid and non-destructive estimation of chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll content in Hevea leaves was estimated spectrophotometrically by conventional extraction method and CCI values (chlorophyll content index) were recorded using a chlorophyll content meter, CCM - 200 (Opti-Sciences, USA) and regression models were developed. Significant positive linear relations between CCI and actual leaf chlorophyll content estimated by conventional extraction method were obtained. Separate equations were derived for determining chlorophyll content on unit fresh weight basis and unit leaf area basis. The method provides a rapid, accurate and non-destructive estimation of chlorophyll content of large number of leaves making the measurements simple and easy compared to conventional spectrophotometric assay.

Published: August 2022

The synthesis problem of static output feedback controllers within the anisotropic-norm setup is revisited. A tractable synthesis approach involving iterations over a convex optimisation problem is suggested, similarly to existing results for the H∞-norm minimisation case. The results are formulated by a couple of Linear Matrix Inequalities coupled via a bilinear equality, revealing, as in the H∞ case the duality of between the control-type and filtering type LMIs and allowing a tractable iterative method to cope with practical static output feedback synthesis problems. The resulting optimisation scheme is then applied to a flight control problem, where the merit of the anisotropic norm setup is shown to provide a useful trade-off between closed loop response and feedback gains

Published: August 2022

Midostaurin (C35H30N4O4) is a multi-target kinase inhibitor used to treat some types of acute myeloid leukemia in combination with other chemotherapy agents. Firstly, the structural preferences of the Midostaurin were evaluated due to the importance to determine the most stable conformer of a bioactive molecule to elucidate its bioactivity. The conformational analysis of the Midostaurin molecule was performed using the PM3, a semi-experimental method. The three most stable conformers and their relative energies were determined. The Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR) is an integral membrane protein, and its over-expression is associated with the development of a wide variety of tumors. For this reason, EGFR inhibitors can act as anticancer drugs as preventing the growth of EGFR-expressing tumors and increasing the survival rates of patients. On the other hand, DNA is an important target for anticancer drugs. To elucidate the anticancer properties of Midostaurin, the molecular docking simulations were performed against EGFR and DNA targets. The binding modes and binding affinities of the ligand-target receptor complexes were determined. Midostaurin showed strong binding affinity to DNA (G = -8.6 kcal/mol) and EGFR (G = - 9.6 kcal/mol). The results revealed the significant anti-tumor effect of Midostaurin.

Published: August 2022

Vehicular traffic re-routing is the key to provide better vehicular mobility. However, considering just traffic-related information to recommend better routes for each vehicle is far from achieving the desired requirements of a good Traffic Management System (TMS), which intends to improve mobility, driving experience, and safety of drivers and passengers. In this scenario, context-aware and multi-objective re-routing approaches will play an important role in traffic management, considering different urban aspects that might affect path planning decisions such as mobility, distance, fuel consumption, scenery, and safety. There are at least three issues that need to be handled to provide an efficient TMS, including: (i) scalability; (ii) re-routing efficiency; and (iii) reliability. In this way, this thesis contributes to efficient and reliable solutions to meet future TMSs. The proposed solutions were widely compared with other related works on different performance evaluation metrics. The evaluation results show that the proposed solutions are efficient, scalable, and cost-effective, pushing forward state-of-the-art traffic management systems.
Mining the Technical Skills of Open Source Developers

Software has "eaten the world" as we witness the rise of companies whose business model is totally centered on software. The successful implementation of these systems heavily depends on the quality and expertise of their software development teams. However, software-based companies are facing an increasing software developers shortage issue. On the one hand, technical recruiters are increasingly relying on the information provided by Social Coding Platforms (SCPs)—e.g., GitHub, Stack Overflow, etc—to prospect new talent. On the other hand, the large volume of data available force job recruiters to only assess superficial information of their candidates. In order to tackle this problem, we described in the thesis an extensive investigation of methods and techniques to identify the technical skills of software developers based on their activity in SCPs. We organized the thesis in three major working units, where we first investigated the most demanded technical and soft skills under the eyes of IT companies, and then assessed developers' technical skills from deep and broad prespectives. These studies resulted in contributions to both research and industrial communities.

The characteristics of the Future Internet and the emerging technologies result in new requirements, in which user security issues are highlighted. Identity Management requirements are linked to the development of systems able to prevent unauthorized use of digital identities, information overload, and to enhance user privacy. This paper highlights the Identity Management requirements in Future Internet context, based on its characteristics. Security and privacy were identified as key factors since they determine the overall trustworthiness of a system in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability. Further, we introduce a discussion, in which we present the relationship between the Identity Management requirements and a future Internet scenario.

A primeira linguagem de programação é apresentada como um desafio na computação e em outras áreas do conhecimento. Especificamente para os alunos da computação, de acordo com o relatório da ACM intitulado "Retention in computer science undergraduate programs in the US: Data challenges and promising interventions", sobre retenção em cursos de ciência da computação, a primeira disciplina de programação, chamada de CS1 (Computer Science 1) no relatório, pode influenciar a permanência do aluno em um curso de computação. Neste contexto, a Universidade de Brasília criou um novo Programa de Monitoria para APC (Algoritmos e Programação de Computadores), a primeira disciplina de programação dos cursos de computação. Este novo programa é composto por atendimentos aos sábados, atendimento individual via agendamento, busca ativa pelos alunos com baixo rendimento, e aulões de revisão aos sábados. Neste artigo é apresentado o relato de experiência da primeira edição deste programa que ocorreu no segundo semestre de 2020, onde é descrita a metodologia do programa, análise dos resultados da primeira edição e as lições aprendidas.

Dissimilation of ē to ā in the Qurʾānic Consonantal Text
Authors: Van Putten Marijn
Published: August 2022

The alifāt maqṣūrah are kept strictly distinct in the Qurʾānic Consonantal Text. Depending on whether the final root consonant is a yāʾ or a wāw, they are spelled with ى and ا, respectively. As these two characters behave distinctly in qurʾānic rhyme, it is clear that they represent two distinct vowels in Qurʾānic Arabic, ē and ā, respectively. The current article shows that in a specific phonetic environment—namely, if y or ī stands in the vicinity of ē—it dissimilated towards ā. While representation of this dissimilation in the orthography of the Qurʾān has disappeared in modern print editions, careful examination across a large number of early qurʾānic manuscripts reveals that this original dissimilatory practice was reflected regularly in these manuscripts, and therefore also in the ʿUthmānic archetype.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disorder with unexplained heritability. Interactions of genetic and environmental factors are thought to be crucial in COPD. So, we aim to examine interactions of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) genes and cigarette smoking in COPD. Methods: The eNOS G 894T and ACE ID variants were analyzed in 122 COPD patients and 200 controls from Serbia. The effect of the variants on COPD was assessed by logistic regression. Interactions between eNOS, ACE and cigarette smoking in COPD were evaluated using a case-control model. Interaction between the genes was analyzed in silico. Results: No effect of the eNOS G 894T and ACE ID variants on COPD was found in our study. Gene-gene interaction between the eN OS T T and A CE D was identified (p=0.033) in COPD. The interaction is realized within the complex network of biochemical pathways. Gene-environment interactions between the eNOS T and cigarette smoking (p=0.013), and the ACE II and cigarette smoking (p=0.009) were detected in COPD in our study. Conclusions: This is the first research to reveal interactions of the eNOS and ACE genes and cigarette smoking in COPD progressing our understanding of COPD heritability and contributing to the development of appropriate treatments
