Experimental investigation of inside zigzag pipe collector solar air heaters: energy and exergy analyses
Authors: Kaya Murat
Published: December 2024

In this study, collectors with two different designs as solar air heaters were examined. Both collectors have equal dimensions and panels with the same features are placed inside. A zigzag strip is placed within the cavities of the collec-tor I panel. The inside of the cavities of the collector II panel is left empty. The thermal efficiency of the panel was observed by providing air flow from the bottom of both collectors. A good design is essential for an efficient collector. As a result of the studies carried out, according to the second law of thermodynamics, the efficiency of collector I, which has a zigzag inside the panel, is between 20.2% and 38.8%, whereas the efficiency of collector II, which is hollow inside the panel, varies between 17% and 32.2%.

Uncertainty of Life Cycle Assessment Studies for Blended Textiles
Authors: Valtere Megija , Bezrucko Tereza , Poberznik Mojca , Vamza Ilze , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: December 2024

Textile fibres are derived from natural and artificial fibres and, in some cases, are blended together to ensure optimum properties. Textiles made from cotton and polyester blends currently hold a significant market share as they are relatively inexpensive, offer excellent performance, and have complementary properties. However, the production and consumption of textiles contribute significantly to environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions, but the scale of the impact is uncertain and under debate. This is also the case in studies of cotton and polyester blends, as a detailed life cycle inventory of the production of this material is absent in the scientific literature, thus affecting its environmental impact assessment. Therefore, the study aimed to identify the limitations and assumptions used so far in the environmental assessments of cotton and polyester blends and to assess the uncertainties they may introduce in future environmental assessments. Two methods were used: literature analysis and scenario-based life cycle assessment. The literature analysis summarized five studies and reports that have carried out an environmental assessment of blended textiles and provided inventory data. The results of the life cycle assessment showed that it is not possible to fill the knowledge gap by creating a new life cycle inventory using existing literature data. This is because the uncertainty in results was too high, reaching as much as 772 % difference from the baseline scenario. Nevertheless, this study is a step towards a complete life cycle inventory and can improve the future environmental assessment of textile blends.
Some solutions to combat tax base erosion in Vietnam
Authors: Diep Bui Hong
Published: December 2024

Tax base erosion poses a significant challenge to tax collection and financial stability in Vietnam. This study explores potential solutions to address tax base erosion in Vietnam today. The study employs analytical and comparative methodologies to evaluate the current state of tax base erosion in Vietnam and propose viable solutions. Firstly, it is imperative to enhance the effectiveness of tax management by adopting advanced technology and comprehensive workforce training. Furthermore, implementing stringent regulations on transfer pricing and deploying measures to deter tax avoidance can mitigate profit shifting and tax evasion perpetrated by multinational corporations. International collaboration also holds a pivotal role, involving the ratification of tax treaties and active engagement in global initiatives such as the OECD’s BEPS framework. Lastly, fostering a competitive business environment and promoting economic diversification can reduce dependence on industries susceptible to tax erosion. The Vietnamese government can effectively counter tax base erosion by integrating these measures, safeguarding fiscal stability, and fostering socio-economic progress.

Objective: This study aimed to thoroughly examine the knowledge, awareness, attitude, and stigma related to epilepsy within the community of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: The study was conducted in Riyadh targeting individuals aged 18 years and older. Data were gathered through an online self-administered survey.
Results: Out of 384 eligible participants who completed the questionnaire, the majority were female, married, Saudi nationals with bachelor's degrees, and the average age was 36.5 years. A substantial number of the participants had poor knowledge levels (69%), and only 27.1% believed epilepsy was common in Saudi Arabia. However, the majority thought that epileptic patients could lead normal lives (82%) and could attend regular classrooms (68%). In the event of a seizure, the primary response was to call an ambulance (34.6%) and keep the person safe from harm (27.9%). While 27.3% perceived epilepsy as a social stigma in Saudi Arabia, only 11.2% would object to their children interacting with a child who experiences seizures. Nevertheless, 34.1% would not approve of their child marrying someone with epilepsy. Overall, individuals aged 60 years or younger demonstrated better knowledge (46%) compared to older individuals (21.4%). Single participants also exhibited greater knowledge levels (44.6%) than their married counterparts (22.3%).
Conclusion: This research underscored the low understanding of epilepsy in Riyadh, illuminating the attitudes and stigma related to the condition. It calls attention to the necessity for educational initiatives and further research on this subject.

Published: December 2024

Hydrogen is a vital gas, recognized for its role as a renewable, clean energy source and its importance as a feedstock in multiple industries, leading to a significant rise in hydrogen production demand in recent years. In this context, a high-yield hydrogen-producing mesophilic bacterium, strain CS3, was isolated from sludge and identified as Clostridium sulfidigenes CS3 through 16S rRNA gene analysis and physio-biochemical testing, revealing novel characteristics of this species. This study systematically investigated various factors influencing biological hydrogen production through fermentation, including medium components (like substrates and nitrogen sources) and environmental conditions (initial pH, incubation temperature, duration, and agitation). The research also explored methods to boost hydrogen yield. The maximum yield of 2.1 mol H₂/mol glucose was obtained under optimal conditions: a medium with 10 g/L glucose, an initial pH of 7.0, incubation at 37°C for 48 hours, and agitation at 200 rpm, with supplementation of organic nitrogen sources (10 g/L peptone and 10 g/L yeast extract). The performance of C. sulfidigenes CS3 was compared with other known hydrogen-producing strains, highlighting the superior hydrogen productivity of this species. This is also considered a new discovery in the hydrogen-producing ability of this species. The findings suggest that C. sulfidigenes CS3 could be a promising candidate for biohydrogen production, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Published: December 2024

No presente artigo abordamos a questão das loot boxes (caixas de recompensa virtual) em jogos eletrônicos utilizados por crianças e adolescentes, e examina os desafios e implicações regulatórias sob a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) no Brasil. As loot boxes são mecanismos de monetização comuns em muitos jogos, nos quais os jogadores gastam dinheiro real para adquirir caixas virtuais que contêm itens aleatórios. Isso pode criar um ambiente de jogo viciante e potencialmente prejudicial, especialmente para os jovens, que muitas vezes não compreendem completamente as implicações financeiras dessas compras. Neste estudo, investigamos como as loot boxes afetam crianças e adolescentes, considerando aspectos psicológicos, sociais e econômicos à luz do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA). Além disso, analisamos como a LGPD, que estabelece diretrizes rigorosas para a proteção de dados pessoais, pode se aplicar a essas práticas de jogos, especialmente em relação à coleta e tratamento de dados de menores de idade. Os resultados destacam a necessidade de uma maior conscientização sobre os potenciais riscos associados às loot boxes, bem como a importância de regulamentações mais rigorosas para proteger os direitos das crianças e adolescentes em ambientes digitais. Também enfatizamos a necessidade de políticas públicas e ações por parte da indústria de jogos para garantir a transparência e a segurança dos jogadores jovens. Este artigo contribui para o aprofundamento da compreensão das questões éticas e regulatórias associadas às loot boxes em jogos eletrônicos, além de promover uma análise sobre como tanto o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente quanto a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados podem ser empregados visando à salvaguarda dos direitos das crianças e adolescentes dentro desse cenário específico.
