Zero-waste: the new norm? : Circular economy
Authors: Almási Sándor , Kimpán Norbert , Németh Regina-Tamara
Published: March 2022

Europeans have been producing more and more waste for many years, and their ecological debt to society is increasing. The myth that we live in a world with infinite resources is certainly not true, year by year, the environment is increasingly polluted with waste. Therefore, we should think about reducing waste and managing already existing unnecessary things. Food and beverage are critically important segments in this respect: after consumption, in most cases, plastic packaging is not getting reused. The European strategy for sustainable development points to the necessary changes in this topic. It is therefore worth considering a recycling society that will take into account the reduction of material and energy consumption to transform it into a zero-waste society, which reduces the consumption of materials and energy, has an impact on the local economy and grassroots initiatives. However, not everybody can be convinced to live a more sustainable life. Positive trends connected with recycling, reusing, or repairing things are present, but this is still not enough. Our research question is: How can a generation change the approach to sustainability? The ultimate goal is to prevent the generation of waste before the packaging is even produced. For a deeper understanding of the problem and the current market trends, primarily among generation Z customers, we have prepared a questionnaire and had 25 interviews in written form. Regarding the expected results, we think that the majority of the respective age group is aware of the importance of the problem. However, they would prefer alternatives with competitive pricing.
Circularity in packaging: Customers’ mindset and the pandemic situtation requrements
Authors: Nazarova Maria
Published: March 2022

The objective of the article is to analyze the attitude of food products consumers towards circularity in packaging and make suggestions on how to combine the reduction in the world’s annual amount of waste with health protection measures in society. Consequently, the present environmental situation in the world in terms of waste and recycling, the mindset of consumers, particularly of a new generation, and an issue of the product safety due to the COVID-19 were covered. The study features an inductive approach and a statistical analysis, a literature observation and a market research were conducted within its framework. According to the results of the research the recommendations were given. Their implementation may lead to a significant decline in the volume of packaging waste due to the reconsideration of the purpose of packaging and the change in marketing strategy. Meanwhile, all the necessary precautions to avoid infection will be taken. These suggestions might also lead to more efficient use of resources and to allocation of funds into production of durable goods and research and development activities. The reflection on the role of packaging in the market can be a watershed both in consumers’ and producers’ attitude towards materials and products. It might help them realize the real value of goods, make them more responsible in terms of consumption, preserve nature and improve the quality of life.

Based on James Blake (1999) value-action gap, the study will examine the factors that influence purchase decisions of sustainable packaged products. Further on, the paper will investigate Hungarian Gen Z views on sustainable consumerism. The author studies IoT applications in smart packaging and innovations that motivates sustainable consumerism. These are the three research questions: 1- What are the factors that influence purchase decisions in the case of eco-packaging? 2- What are the Hungarian Gen Z insight on eco-packaging and recycling 3-How IoT can assist in sustainable consumerism. Applied research was implemented in this study. In addition to, primary data used in an online survey. The study will conclude that Hungarian Gen Z is well educated about the subject of environmental behavior but like everyone they value their convenience and technology can assist in this regard. This research will motivate businesses to use IoT packaging applications and encourage consumers to behave greener. Product packaging plays an important role in plastic waste. Changing behaviors can be extremely challenging thus small smart applications can save our planet. Rarely do researcher flip the coin and study the IoT influence on consumer behavior. Mainly, IoT sustainable applications is only researched from the production side.

Authors: Huy Chu Minh
Published: March 2022

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can be considered as the backbone of Europe's economy, which represent 99% of all businesses in the EU. They employ around 100 million people, account for more than half of Europe’s GDP and play a key role in adding value in every sector of the economy. Hungary is also a place where SMEs are popular and important to the whole economy. They provide various job opportunities, create innovation and boost competitiveness annually. To maintain the position in the long term, it is crucial for SMEs to develop their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) effectively and assess their performance annually. However, they have to face various difficulties in CSR development. And now in the time of Covid-19, there are a lot of bigger problems for them to solve: adapting to new situations, updating the national regulations, changing and adjusting their rules and their strategies, etc. This paper describes the situation of SMEs in Hungary, the main challenges in CSR development that they have suffered before and in the time of the pandemic, and also giving potential solutions to alleviate those challenges. Information and statistics in the paper are taken from online sources, as well as from scientific articles, which are all listed at the end of this paper. The aim of the paper is to raise awareness of the challenges in Hungarian SMEs and to come up with the ideas to adjust and develop their CSR in the pandemic. Therefore, it may change the perspectives of managers about the attitudes needed in order to survive in the crises.
How to reduce the harmful impact of cigarettes on environment
Authors: Kaul Karen Elisabeth
Published: March 2022

The fundamental aim of this research is to inform the reader about the importance of implementing sustainable practices at a business and social level, focusing on reducing the impact of cigarettes on the environment. After going through all the data, the idea is to make the readers think critically about why and how they can contribute to reducing cigarette littering and the consequent pollution. The research contains the analysis on different proposals, if they can be applied, and how to educate society to decrease cigarette waste. This study represents a review of the literature documenting the impact of cigarettes´ chemicals on the environment, and how consumers behave (if recycling or throwing cigarettes away). The expected research results would be encountering a wide range of alternatives and feasible solutions to replace the actual composition of conventional cigarettes, and strategies to educate the smokers´ population about the importance of reutilizing the leftovers from cigarettes. In this way, changing actual practices and reducing pollution would contribute to a more sustainable world, from which all, businesses and consumers, would benefit. I chose this topic because I consider it as a latent issue in many countries, and I strongly believe that educating about this problem can protect people who are exposed to these chemicals in their daily life, either if they consume tobacco products or if they drink contaminated water, deal with smoke-filled air, etc. Protecting natural life is also crucial, as polluted oceans influence greatly not only our present but also our future as humankind.

State-building and Ethnic Pluralism in Iraq after 2003
Authors: Muntasser M.H.
Published: March 2022

The research article deals with the process of building or rebuilding the state in Iraq after 2003 in its various dimensions, in light of the vision and foundational procedures that were developed and supervised by the United States in cooperation with the new leaders of Iraq based on the mechanism of sectarianethnic representation, and diagnosing the imbalances that arose out of that vision and the accompanying procedures, which led to the emergence of new variables in the political process, especially in the post-ISIS* phase, which produced important challenges to the political system and the Iraqi state. The political dynamics and balances emerging after ISIS* represented at the same time opportunities and risks in the process of building the Iraqi state, as opportunities arose to transcend the identity policies adopted by the political system, and address the failures of the political process, and thus strengthen the path of state building, but the risks of those transformations seeking reform may push towards more state fragility, given the weakness of the political administration of the system in the face of the complexities of the political environment and its effects that were rooted in the p olitical system.

Published: March 2022

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un estudio empírico exploratorio de tipo estudio de caso sobre los saberes que los docentes de biología emplean en su temprano ejercicio de la profesión.  Los saberes explorados fueron el disciplinar, pedagógico,  curricular y experiencial, los cuales son fundamentados desde diferentes perspectivas relacionadas al conocimiento profesional del profesor (CPP), con la intensión de visibilizar los fundamentos que desde el saber, el saber hacer y el ser, son adoptados por los profesores como orientadores de los procesos de la enseñanza y del aprendizaje de la biología. Los resultados obtenidos en la investigación son contrastados con un análisis curricular de los programas de formación que cursaron los participantes objeto de investigación, con el propósito de  determinar la correspondencia y la coherencia entre la formación y su práctica pedagógica. De igual manera, se categorizaron a los docentes en los siguientes paradigmas: el tradicional, el constructivista y el de transición, este último entendido como posiciones y acciones entre el paradigma tradicional y constructivista. En los hallazgos se logró identificar que no existe una tendencia marcada  en los paradigmas establecidos, sino por el contrario, cada uno de los participantes transita por los diferentes paradigmas, con tendencias hacia el de transición o constructivista, es decir, que sus formas de pensar, sentir y actuar se movilizan entre estos dos.

Evaluation of PSO Algorithm Considering Obstacle Avoidance in Evacuation Guidance
Authors: MATSUZAWA Tomofumi , ISHİİ Akiyoshi
Published: March 2022

In recent years, IoT has been expected to provide support during natural disasters, and studies focusing on ant colony optimization (ACO) have been conducted for providing evacuation routes for evacuees. We previously proposed a modified algorithm for ACO that improved on the slow convergence of ACO, but the problem with ACO-based evacuation is the time it takes the evacuees to reach a safe zone. In this study, we proposed a route suggestion algorithm that improves particle swarm optimization (PSO) to reduce the time required for ACO evacuation, and compared the performance of ACO and the proposed PSO. We also proposed a method that combines ACO and PSO and evaluated its performance.

Formative assessments are essential for effective teaching and learning. However, using regular (weekly) tasks to provide marks, feedback, and analytics is resource intensive. A Matlab based image processing algorithm was implemented using a multi-page TIF file from an automatic document feeder equipped multifunction centre. The system automatically marked the students’ work, emailed them back a copy of their assessment along with computer generated feedback, and gave question analytics to the teacher to inform intervention and revision.
Reducing discrimination: Evidence from online experiments on a Hungarian ride-sharing platform
Authors: Simonovits Gábor , Simonovits Bori
Published: March 2022

This note explores discrimination against ethnic minorities in the new platform economy. Using experiments fielded in collaboration with a Hungarian car-sharing platform we demonstrate that contrary to the conventional wisdom, Roma users are discriminated even when positive reviews are available. Through a collaborative effort with the platform spanning multiple years we designed an intervention whose purpose was to reduce anti-Roma discrimination, and tested it via a survey experiment. We show that forced exposure to our video clip led to a large reduction in discrimination against Roma passengers as mea- sured by survey-takers’ choices made between fictional passengers. While we attempted to pilot our intervention in the field, we were unable to expose real users to our video clip in ways that were compatible with our partner organization’s interests. Taken together our findings showcase both the opportunities and the challenges that are involved in fighting discrimination in cooperation with market players.

Elevated DKK1 expression distinguishes basal-like human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2022

Patients diagnosed with basal-like breast cancer face a more aggressive disease course and more dismal prognosis than patients diagnosed with luminal A and luminal B breast cancer molecular subtypes (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to understand in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing transcriptional features of tumors from patients with basal or basal-like subtype breast cancer. We observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1, DKK1, when comparing tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer with that of other PAM50 molecular subtypes. DKK1 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in the tumors of patients with basal-like breast cancer. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that DKK1 primary tumor expression was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in normal-like subtype breast cancer. Elevated DKK1 expression appears to distinguish basal-like human breast cancer from the other molecular subtypes.
Affective auditing: The emotional weight of the 2022 Research Excellence Framework in the UK
Authors: Derrick Gemma Elizabeth , Watermeyer Richard , Batalla Margarida Borras
Published: March 2022

In aggressively neo-liberalised higher education systems and in ‘high-performing’ research units – typically academic schools in high-ranking research universities – research assessment has come to dominate the daily organisation and enactment of research and research culture. So much so in fact that academics’ research praxis, their employability, career trajectories and very lexicon are in synthesis with the manufacture and mediation of performance values, often to the detriment of collegiality, critical citizenship and self-efficacy. Research assessment as a technology of governance is thus also a ‘disruptive technology’ epidemic to the (re)making of academic lives. Notwithstanding, studies of the affective aspects of research assessment and its emotional manipulation of academic lives are at best thin. Further, less is known of what we call ‘affective auditing’ from the perspective of academic middle-managers with institutional responsibility for implementing assessment procedures and with direct experience of the disruptiveness of research assessment at meso and micro levels. By way of response, this article reports on findings from interviews with academic middle or quasi managers responsible for overseeing research assessment in research elite universities in the high-performance and highly pressurised research context of the UK. These accounts elucidate the weight of ‘affective auditing’ on academic researchers and academic quasi-managers and the extent to which research assessment shapes the emotional contours of research lives.
Bicycle Culture in the Bhutanese Refugee Camps
Authors: Shrestha Tara Lal
Published: March 2022

This paper through qualitative research method documents stories of bicycle history in the Bhutanese refugee camps in eastern Nepal – the stories of the seven refugee camps – that remains in retrospections of the Bhutanese diaspora (in the countries of resettlement) more alive than in the camp. As an unofficial model of bicycle culture, the pre-third country resettlement period is examined through the aesthetics of bicycle commuting for cause in the post-third country resettlement context, when bicycling in the refugee camp is in the verge of extinction. Studying the grey literature, including the visual texts, this paper also attempts to draw the attention of the Bhutanese community, who experienced the aesthetics of bicycling then is mostly indulged in car culture in the countries they have resettled. Finally, this article presents some evidences of insights into how the Bhutanese community from the resettled countries can contribute to the bicycle culture and there are some rays of hope. The finding of this research helps to affirm bicycle activism in order to establish a sustainable bicycle culture.
Relevance of Saint DaduDayal in current political field
Authors: Chhipa Sunil Kumar
Published: March 2022

With the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan in the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192 AD, the establishment of Islamic power in India and the end of Hindu rule occur simultaneously. It was the final end of the process of complete disconnection from the secular basis of Hindushahi in central politics, not merely the defeat of one empire by another. It is a general political principle that any king or ruler becomes popular only by his public welfare works and gets the collective loyalty and participation of the class ruled by him. On the contrary, when the ruling class starts governing with the help of oppressive military power only, starts doing anti-people work, then it becomes the shelter of the public's distaste, hatred, alienation and feeling of alienation. The history of India is full of such examples that the rulers who followed their real religion and treated all the people as equal and worked for their welfare, they became very popular among the people, whereas the rulers who were fanatics and forcefully changed their religion to the people. When compelled to accept or carried out other similar anti-religious, anti-social actions, then both common people and saints stood up as their retaliation.

 

Abstract in Hindi Language:

1192 ई॰ में तराईन के द्वितीय युद्ध में पृथ्वीराज चैहान की पराजय के साथ ही भारतवर्ष में इस्लामी सत्ता की स्थापना और हिन्दू शासन का अंत एक साथ घटित होता है। यह एक साम्राज्य द्वारा दूसरे साम्राज्य की पराजय मात्र न होकर केंद्रीय राजनीति में हिन्दूशाही के लौकिक आधार से पूरी तरह कट जाने की प्रक्रिया का अन्तिम छोर था। यह एक सामान्य राजनीतिक सिद्धान्त है कि कोई भी राजा या शासक अपने जन-कल्याणकारी कार्यों से ही लोकप्रिय बनता है और अपने द्वारा शासित वर्ग की सामूहिक वफादारी और सहभागिता प्राप्त करता है। इसके विपरित जब शासक वर्ग केवल दमनकारी सैनिक शक्ति की सहायता से शासन संचालित करने लगता है, प्रजा विरोधी कार्य करने लगता है तब वह जनता की अरूचि, वितृष्णा, परायेपन और विलगाव की भावना का आश्रय बनता है। भारतवर्ष के इतिहास में ऐसे उदाहरण भरे पड़े है कि जिन शासकों ने अपने वास्तविक धर्म का पालन कर समस्त जनता को एकसमान मानकर उसके हित-साधन के कार्य किये, वे जनता के बीच अत्यधिक लोकप्रिय हुए वहीं जिन शासकों ने धर्मान्ध होकर बलपूर्वक जनता को अपना धर्म ग्रहण करने पर बाध्य किया या अन्य इसी प्रकार के धर्म विरोधी, समाज विरोधी कार्यों को अंजाम दिया तब सामान्य जन और संत मत दोनों उनके प्रतिकार स्वरूप उठ खड़े हुए।

Authors: Maikhrovych Yuri
Published: March 2022

The role of branding on the example of urban and regional public events of some cities of Eastern Galicia, as well as the involvement of these processes in the formation of the attractiveness of individual places in the field of tourism is considered. The content of the concept of "territory brand" for the specification of the selected phenomenon in further scientific research is substantiated. The works of famous sociologists, marketers and urbanists in the formation of the image of the territory due to the individual attributes are analyzed. The main attributes of cultural services in the material, spiritual and artistic aspects that are consumed by the target tourist audience have been identified. The importance of international sports forums, events and festivals for the overall presentation of a region or city and its further marketing status and attractiveness is highlighted. The subject, audience interest and the territorial brand itself are highlighted, which also depends on political and investment influences. The festival environment of music forums in Prykarpattia and Lviv region that create an attractive art style as well as gastronomic tours that are gaining popularity and in which cooking becomes an advertising brand and a symbol of recognition of particular regions are described. On the example of three museums of Kolomiya the importance of each of them in the context of event culture of the city and dissemination of material, intellectual and spiritual values with their involvement in the cultural and artistic life, which makes them represent the original identity of the Pokuttia region is clarified. The importance of balneological spas in Zakarpattia and Lviv region was highlighted as they create their own economic and tourist attractiveness thanks to the natural resource of mineral waters and the location of health resorts away from urbanized settlements. Logos and slogans of several Western Ukrainian cities have been analyzed, in which iconic architectural constructions, unique geographical locations, historical events and figures create symbolism that conveys the main idea of the city. The prospects for the development of this topic and the importance of regional branding research in the context of geo-branding, which provides an opportunity to improve the tourist attractiveness of individual territories and the country as a whole, are identified.

The article proposes a consideration of the phenomenon of Kitch in the context of the development of the culture of Western Europe, the flow of cultural processes of which was significantly different from the processes that occurred in the culture of the colonized part of Ukraine in the 17–19th centuries. The main reason for such differences was primarily in aristocratic imperatives and educational tendencies, which aggregately contributed to the development of art in the whole Europe. During this period, Ukraine was at the crossroards of Metropoles and, as a result of historical circumstances, was not able to develop similarly to Western European conditions. The lack of dominant role in society, and, in particular, the absence of universities, concentrated creative progress within church art and imitation of western samples, as well as the development of amateur art, which will form a whole layer of “Grassroots” culture. In fact, in the Baroque period in Ukraine only polyphony was introduced into the liturgical rite and a party concert on the Western model was staged. At the same time, the musically educated intelligentsia, which was concentrated at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, composed chants, spiritual songs and brought them to the lower strata of society. Since all this was closely connected with the church rite, over time, the leading place in society was taken by the spiritual aristocracy, which gradually took over the educational mission of the people. The introduction of the practice of salons in Ukraine in the 19th century, the tradition of home music, in fact, had no resistance, because this tradition was nurtured mainly in the families of priests, who at that time had an authoritative influence on the processes taking place in society. On this basis, the use of means of “Kitch” was detected long before this term appeared with internal polysemantic characteristics in Germany of the XIX century. We believe that kitsch in music appeared when the society intuitively needed it, even in periods when this term did not yet exist, but the principles and methods that later became the basis of definition, and formed the basis of the conceptual structure of kitsch, had already been in existence. In essence, kitsch was a measure that balanced culture within different social strata and social needs, as well as disseminated it. Differences in the functioning of the kitsch phenomenon were observed: in European countries kitsch had negative semantics, in Ukraine, on the contrary, the most relevant examples of European cultural achievements were spread and interpreted in their own way. This blurred the border between “low” and “high” culture. Apparently, this is the main reason that the phenomenon of “kitsch” in Ukrainian culture played a positive role, helped to supplement the missing links and relieved tension in the confrontation between “an original” and “a copy”. This prepared a solid foundation for the emergence of Ukrainian professional art in the twentieth century.

In this study, successive electrocoagulation (EC) and electro-oxidation (EO) processes were used to minimize some of the major pollutants in real wastewater, such as organics (detected by chemical oxygen demand (COD)), and turbidity. The wastewater utilized in the present study was collected from the Midland Refinery Company in Baghdad-Iraq. The performance of the successive batch EC-EO processes was studied by utilizing Graphite and Aluminum (Al) as monopolar anode electrodes and stainless steel (st.st.) as the cathode. The Taguchi experimental design approach was used to attain the best experimental conditions for COD reduction as a major response. Starting from chemical oxygen demand COD of (600 ppm), the effects of current density (C.D.) (10- 20 mA/cm2), pH (4- 10), time (2– 4 h), and NaCl concentration (1.5- 2.5 g/l) on the efficiency of COD reduction were examined. The results indicated that COD reduction increased with increasing C.D., NaCl conc., and electrolysis time and increased exponentially at pH (4). The best conditions for the treatment of this wastewater were: C.D. (20 mA/cm2), pH (4), time (4 h), and NaCl conc. (2.5 g/l). At these conditions, approximately 98.12 % of COD reduction was achieved with electrical energy consumption (ENC) of about 62.04 kWh/m3. The result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the C.D. and pH have a higher influence on the performance of organics removal, while the time and NaCl conc. have a minor impact on COD Re%.

Abstrak

Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk memberikan pemahaman mendasar mengenai cybersquatting dalam kaitannya dengan hukum merek. Adapun dalam pembahasan artikel ini, akan difokuskan pada mengenai implementasi hubungan antara hukum merek dengan cybersquatting dalam putusan pengadilan, yakni putusan Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat Nomor 299/Pdt.G/2013/PN.Jkt.Pst. Guna mendapatkan jawaban atas obyek penelitian tersebut, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan statute approach, conceptual approach, serta case approach. Cybersquatting sangat penting untuk dikaji lebih lanjut karena merupakan kegiatan penyerobotan domain yang sangat dilarang karena dapat menimbulkan kerugian bagi pihak korban. Hal ini banyak terjadi karena prinsip first-come first-serve yang mengakibatkan hanya orang pertama yang bisa mendapatkan domain yang diinginkan. Padahal hal ini dilindungi dalam Undang-Undang Negara Republik Indonesia No. 19 Tahun 2016 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik dan Undang-Undang Negara Republik Indonesia No. 20 Tahun 2016 Tentang Merek.

Bendable concrete is also defined as engineered cementitious composites because of its great ductility and tight fracture width limitation. ECC mixtures by adding additional Portland cement, silica sand and fly ash, fiber types (polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)). The objective main aim of the research is to investigate the flexural performance of a series of RC beams that were externally bonded (EB) with steel bars using the engineered cementitious composite (ECC) matrix near-surface mounted technique. A total of 5 RC beams by 1500 mm as a length, 150 mm as width, and 200 mm as height, including one control and four strengthened, were prepared and tested. The test parameters are strengthening configurations and glue matrix (ECC and Epoxy). The test results revealed that ECC is an ideal cement matrix for reinforcement applications where ECC and Epoxy mortar bonded with steel bars are used as exterior reinforcement. As a result of what ECC has a number of attractive properties. The most unique aspect is the high tensile ductility, which is hundreds of times that of concrete while maintaining compressive strengths similar to concrete or high strength.
