Authors: Bychkova Svetlana , Zhidkova Elena , Shvets Oksana
Published: September 2023

Economic entities involved in food production interact with a large number of counterparties and depend on their integrity. They have to check their potential business partners before cooperating. Contractual due diligence is a service provided by consulting and audit firms that use a variety of tools, e.g., databases and online services, to collect and analyze information. This research considered the main areas of contractual due diligence and assessed the tools involved. The authors used the common methods of comparison, generalization, and synthesis to describe the main due diligence stages and digital tools. Information about the counterparty was collected in three areas: legal capacity, financial position, and business reputation. The study focused on the stage of summary, analysis, and profiling. The authors determined the role of digital technologies at each stage, compared their performance, and defined their limitations. The research revealed the potential of various digital tools for contractual due diligence. The results may help due diligence experts to plan the profiling process.
relação mente-corpo
Authors: Alves Marcos Antonio , Almeida Heder da Silva
Published: September 2023

A relação mente-corpo é um dos problemas componentes da agenda da filosofia. Na modernidade, Renê Descartes foi um dos que trataram da questão, adquirindo bastantes adeptos e críticos. Ele defende uma abordagem dualista substancial, segundo a qual mente e corpo são entes substancialmente distintos. Uma visão oposta a essa é defendida pelas perspectivas fisicalistas reducionistas, segundo as quais, de modo geral, toda a realidade é ou pode ser reduzida, ontológica e/ou epistemologicamente ao físico, de modo a dissolver o problema da relação mente-corpo. Ambas as visões apresentam controvérsias. A dualista cartesiana, por afirmar que a mente pertence a um plano metafísico, não consegue explicar como seria possível a interação entre uma entidade imaterial e uma material. As de cunho fisicalista, com frequência, desconsideram processos mentais subjetivos, dada a dificuldade de sua redução aos termos físicos. Outra perspectiva explicativa do mental, denominada teoria do aspecto dual, pretende ser um meio termo entre os fisicalismos e o dualismo substancial. Analisamos algumas das principais correntes de pensamentos dentro da filosofia da mente buscando apresentar, de maneira simples, o quão plural são as perspectivas que tratam do mesmo objeto de pesquisa, qual, seja a mente, tratando em particular da relação entre a mente o corpo.
Linhagens do Armamento
Authors: De Oliveira Alves Teixeira Yasmin
Published: September 2023

Nosso objetivo foi discutir a análise do estatuto das armas e do armamento no quadro de uma reflexão sobre a tecnologia como apresentada por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari na obra Mil Platôs. Os autores oferecem uma interpretação sobre a especificidade desses elementos técnicos a partir de sua ligação com o processo de inovação das sociedades guerreiras nômades. Esse processo é indissociável de certo modo de operação da metalurgia artesanal e itinerante sobre o phylum maquínico, definido como matéria-movimento composta por singularidades e manifesta em traços de expressão determinados. Porém, o phylum maquínico e a linhagem tecnológica do armamento também podem ser capturados por um aparelho de Estado, passando a funcionar de maneira distinta daquela em que operavam quando conexos ao espaço nômade. Essa captura está na gênese de uma indústria armamentista, cerne problemático da relação entre guerra, técnica e capital para o qual se direciona nossa reflexão final.
Interfaces da poética da economia: o caso da Academia-escola Unileão
Authors: Macedo Xavier de Freitas Maria Luiza , Souza Santos Alana
Published: September 2023

O presente artigo é fruto das inquietações acerca da busca de rebatimentos da “poética da economia”, defendida pelo Grupo Arquitetura Nova, em obras contemporâneas. Para tal, o texto usará para análise o edifício da Academia-escola Unileão, localizado na cidade de Juazeiro do Norte (CE), concebido pelo escritório Lins Arquitetos e Associados. O Grupo Arquitetura Nova, formado pelos arquitetos Flávio Império, Rodrigo Lefèvre e Sérgio Ferro, teve um curto período de atuação profissional mas abriu caminhos para importantes discussões acerca de uma nova expressão estética pautada no uso de tecnologias construtivas e materiais de baixo custo. Adentrando em investigar esses conceitos, o artigo tem como objetivo compreender como a estratégia de produzir arquitetura a partir de uma economia e simplicidade de materiais se expressa na arquitetura contemporânea, usando como objeto de estudo a Academia-escola Unileão, cuja materialidade se manifesta a partir da disponibilidade dos materiais da região;  neste caso como protagonista, o tijolo maciço. A pesquisa de caráter essencialmente exploratória, possui como finalidade discutir os conceitos apontados a partir de uma análise crítica de uma obra arquitetônica da contemporaneidade. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o assunto para embasar a discussão, bem como foi possível realizar uma entrevista com uma das arquitetas do projeto a ser analisado. E, assim, conclui-se que a poética da economia, ainda que seja uma vertente ligada à modernidade brasileira, também pode ser identificada em obras contemporâneas, como é o caso da Academia-escola Unileão.

Dinamika Politik Catch-all atas Eksistensi Perempuan di Partai Demokrat dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera Wilayah Banten
Authors:   Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa, Ma'asan Mayrudin Yeby , Kartiko Utami Wahyu , Irawan Peri
Published: September 2023

Tulisan ini membedah dinamika politik catch-all atas eksistensi perempuan pada pengorganisasian partai-partai politik yang memfokuskan pada Partai Demokrat dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) di wilayah Banten. Nalar dasar politik catch-all ialah merangkul segenap elemen masyarakat -termasuk kaum perempuan- untuk menjadi kesatuan bagi sebuah partai politik. Namun gejolak budaya patriarki yang melekat kuat membuat eksistensi kaum perempuan cenderung dilihat sekedar lumbung suara semata dan pemenuhan kuota 30% perempuan di kepengurusan partai dan proses kandidasi di level legislatif atau “pen-caleg-an”. Adapun metode penelitian yang kami operasionalkan ialah metode deskriptif kualitatif ala Lambert dkk. dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi literatur dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian ini menggambarkan kehadiran kaum perempuan di Partai Demokrat dan PKS sebagai kader partai dan kandidat calon anggota legislatif sangat fundamental. Kemudian adanya dukungan materiel dan non-materiel dari kedua partai tersebut kepada politisi perempuan untuk terlibat dalam kontestasi politik elektoral. Selanjutnya hal yang menarik ialah proses kedua partai tersebut dalam membangun politik catch-all yang merangkul kaum perempuan sebagai politisi mengeliminasi konstruksi patriarki di dalam pengorganisasian partai.

The mainstreaming of spatial planning in Makassar City is faced with two main problems, namely the minimal role of development planning and an ineffective political process. The aim of this research is to understand further the extent of the role of these two things and their contribution to the mainstreaming of spatial planning in Makassar City. This research uses descriptive analysis methods. The results of this research found that the role of development planning in mainstreaming spatial planning is caused by the lack of literacy in development planning documents both from the side of government administrators and the community, non-participatory community involvement in development planning, the consistency of the Makassar City regional government is very low in overseeing development planning programs. . Meanwhile, in terms of the political process, this is caused by a lack of alignment with the mainstreaming of spatial planning and abuse of power. The implications of this research are the importance of the Makassar City government in increasing the literacy of development planning documents based on mainstreaming spatial planning among the community, the need to encourage more participatory development planning and political processes, and to be consistent in overseeing development planning programs so that they can minimize abuse of power and create public services and better governance in the future.
Evaluating Users’ Experiences of a Child Multimodal Wearable Device: Mixed Methods Approach
Authors: McElwain Nancy L , Fisher Meghan C , Nebeker Camille , Bodway Jordan M , Islam Bashima , Hasegawa-Johnson Mark
Published: September 2023

Background

Wearable devices permit the continuous, unobtrusive collection of data from children in their natural environments and can transform our understanding of child development. Although the use of wearable devices has begun to emerge in research involving children, few studies have considered families’ experiences and perspectives of participating in research of this kind.

Objective

Through a mixed methods approach, we assessed parents’ and children’s experiences of using a new wearable device in the home environment. The wearable device was designed specifically for use with infants and young children, and it integrates audio, electrocardiogram, and motion sensors.

Methods

In study 1, semistructured phone interviews were conducted with 42 parents of children aged 1 month to 9.5 years who completed 2 day-long recordings using the device, which the children wore on a specially designed shirt. In study 2, a total of 110 parents of children aged 2 months to 5.5 years responded to a questionnaire assessing their experience of completing 3 day-long device recordings in the home. Guided by the Digital Health Checklist, we assessed parental responses from both studies in relation to the following three key domains: (1) access and usability, (2) privacy, and (3) risks and benefits.

Results

In study 1, most parents viewed the device as easy to use and safe and remote visits as convenient. Parents’ views on privacy related to the audio recordings were more varied. The use of machine learning algorithms (vs human annotators) in the analysis of the audio data, the ability to stop recordings at any time, and the view that the recordings reflected ordinary family life were some reasons cited by parents who expressed minimal, if any, privacy concerns. Varied risks and benefits were also reported, including perceived child comfort or discomfort, the need to adjust routines to accommodate the study, the understanding gained from the study procedures, and the parent’s and child’s enjoyment of study participation. In study 2, parents’ ratings on 5 close-ended items yielded a similar pattern of findings. Compared with a “neutral” rating, parents were significantly more likely to agree that (1) device instructions were helpful and clear (t109=−45.98; P<.001), (2) they felt comfortable putting the device on their child (t109=−22.22; P<.001), and (3) they felt their child was safe while wearing the device (t109=−34.48; P<.001). They were also less likely to worry about the audio recordings gathered by the device (t108=6.14; P<.001), whereas parents’ rating of the burden of the study procedures did not differ significantly from a “neutral” rating (t109=−0.16; P=.87).

Conclusions

On the basis of parents’ feedback, several concrete changes can be implemented to improve this new wearable platform and, ultimately, parents’ and children’s experiences of using child wearable devices in the home setting.

Authors: Prihartono Budhi , Ismantia Karina Rizky , Fahlevi Fidruzal
Published: September 2023

The impact of technology on public transport has led to a new online transportation service. Its emergence makes the competition increasingly competitive. Therefore, customer loyalty becomes an important aspect of winning the competition. This research analyzed the effect of customer service, service delivery, onboard experience, public image, service value, and customer satisfaction on customer loyalty to online transportation. 517 respondents were obtained and divided into two groups: captive rider and choice rider. Data processing is carried out using a multigroup SEM technique. The results showed that there was a significant moderation effect of the different characteristics of users. In the captive rider group, onboard experience and service value did not affect customer satisfaction, and service value did not affect customer loyalty. Customer satisfaction influenced customer loyalty, and the effect was more robust than the choice rider group. In the choice rider group, the public image did not affect customer satisfaction, but service value influenced customer loyalty. Factors proven to influence customer loyalty significantly can be developed by companies to improve their competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive market of online transportation services.

Published: September 2023

The lack of accuracy and slow information flow within the supply chain poses significant challenges to the sustainability of the manufacturing process. Effective information management is essential for enhancing supply chain competitiveness, encompassing increased product yield, improved product quality, cost reduction, and enhanced productivity for quicker product distribution. This research investigates the impact of information sharing on supply chain management to bolster company productivity. Additionally, it delves into the detrimental consequences of insufficient information sharing and offers solutions to ensure efficient information exchange within the organization. To achieve these research objectives, we employ a quantitative approach utilizing the Structural Equation Model (SEM)-Amos and six questionnaire variables: information sharing, information quality, information technology, supply chain management implementation, productivity, and customer satisfaction. Our findings underscore the adverse effects of limited information sharing on supply chain management performance, leading to reduced productivity. The enhancement of supply chain management hinges on effective and transparent information sharing, facilitated by disseminating clear and sustainable information throughout the company. Furthermore, ensuring employees understand supply chain management practices comprehensively is crucial. These measures are poised to contribute to increased productivity and the achievement of customer satisfaction goals.

Līdz to publicēšanai jāgaida gandrīz divi gadsimti – tāpat kā daudzus citus viņa fragmentus, to publicēšanu kritiskā izdevumā sagatavo pašu romantiķu aizsāktā interese par tekstuālajiem korpusiem, kas dzīves laikā parasti paliek zem darbu aisberga redzamās daļas. Ielūkojoties šajos fragmentos, mēs ielūkojamies zemūdens pasaulēs – romantisma tapšanas noslēpumos.
Sieviešu zīmogi un sieviešu attēlojums Livonijas vaska zīmogos
Authors: Teplouhova Ilona
Published: September 2023

Pirmie zināmie dokumenti, kuriem pievienoti zīmogi, Livonijas teritorijā ir datējami ar 12. gadsimta beigām, bet vaska zīmogi dokumentiem tiek pievienoti tikai 13. gadsimtā, un tos aktīvi izmanto līdz 16. gadsimta vidum. Šajā neilgajā laikā posmā ir tapuši vairāki tūkstoši dokumentu, bet tikai ļoti nelielu to daļu ir izdevušas vai ar savu zīmogu apliecinājušas sievietes.

Rakstā ir aplūkotas divas līdz šim Latvijā minimāli pētītas tēmas – sieviešu zīmogi un sieviešu attēlojums tajos. Pirmajā nodaļā sniegts ieskats Rietumeiropas sieviešu zīmogu izmantošanas vēsturē, otrajā nodaļā analizēti Livonijas sieviešu zīmogi, bet trešajā nodaļā – zīmogi, kuru galvenais tēls ir sieviete.

Tamerlane’s letter to the mamluk sultan Barkuk and Barkuk’s response letter to Tamerlane Dated AH 795 / AD 1393
Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Sayfetdinova Elmira G.
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to introduce the Russian translation of Emir Timur’s letter to the Mamluk Sultan Barquq and Barquq’s response letter to Tamerlane, both written in 795 AH / 1393, into scientific circulation. Research materials: The texts of these letters were discovered within the pages of al-Makrizi’s work “Kitab al-Suluk li Ma’rifat Duwal al-Muluk” (“The Book of Ways to Knowledge of the Ruling Dynasties”) Later, these texts were transcribed by Ibn Taghriberdi and Ibn Sirafi. Results and scientific novelty: This article examines the Arabic text of the letters and provides a translation into Russian of Emir Timur’s message to Mamluk Sultan Barquq and Barquq’s response letter from 1393. Emir Timur’s letter, in particular, demanded humility and submission from the Mamluk Sultanate. It’s worth noting that V.G. Tizenhausen, despite using “As-Suluk” by al-Makrizi, did not include the texts of these letters, suggesting they were unrelated to the history of the Golden Horde. However, considering that diplomatic relations were maintained during this period between the Golden Horde and Mamluk Egypt, and that Mamluk Sultan Barquq supported the Golden Horde’s Khan Toktamysh, these letters could provide valuable information about the relationship between these two states. This study marks the first Russian translation of both texts. While Emir Timur’s message may not contain sensational revelations, it does clarify essential details about the late 14th-century situation and contributes to a better understanding of the historical ties between the Horde and the Mamluk Sultanate.
Combination of mathematical literacy with ethnomathematics: How to perspective sundanese culture
Authors: Umbara Uba , Prabawanto Sufyani , Jatisunda Mohamad Gilar
Published: September 2023

Mathematical literacy and ethnomathematics are the two main approaches to understanding mathematics in everyday life. Research on the two aspects should be conducted in an integrated manner. It is expected to be a reference for the development of urban mathematics education based on the social requirements of mathematics and individuals' mathematical competence in a cultural group. The primary goal of this research is to describe the Sundanese people's mathematical literacy through an ethnomathematical perspective. The research is focused on living equipment systems and technology, which is one of the elements of the seven universal culture elements. The study employed phenomenographic and ethnomethodological approaches with a realist ethnographic design. Participant observations and interviews were chosen as data collection techniques, while content analysis, triangulation, and identification of patterns were chosen as data analysis techniques. Ethnomathematics in living equipment systems and technology consists of counting, measuring, explaining, discovering, designing, and explaining activities. The results show that the ethnomathematics of the Sundanese community are relevant to the aspects of mathematical literacy consisting of content, context, and mathematical processes. The study's results emphasize that mathematical literacy and ethnomathematics cannot be separated from daily life.
Unraveling the customer experience puzzle: Factors affecting satisfaction in three star hotels
Authors: Sharma Sukarn
Published: September 2023

This study aims to facilitate sustainable growth in hotels by understanding tourists’ preferences. Though there is existing research on customer satisfaction in hotels (Radojevic et al., 2017), this study narrows the scope to three star category hotels in Chandigarh, India, with its unique data collection approach based on traveller rankings of Trip Advisor (2023) to select the top twenty hotels, ensuring a representative sample of highly ranked establishments. The five-point Likert scale was used in a closed-ended questionnaire to gather primary data from visitors who stayed in the city’s hotels between March 5 and April 5, 2023. Convenience sampling was used, resulting in 385 participants selected from the chosen hotels. Mean ratings were calculated for 25 hotel service attributes from the respondents’ responses and used for the importance performance analysis (IPA). The results indicate that hotels need to prioritize specific attributes, such as spaciousness of rooms, quietness of rooms, bathroom amenities, value for money, taste and variety of food, and prompt service. The study also identified areas where the hotels performed well, such as cleanliness, safety and security, staff communication and friendliness, and multiple modes of payment. Overall, the study provides valuable insights for hotel managers to meet customer expectations.

For the new and future EU candidate countries of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, the path to EU membership is based on the same ?established criteria and conditions?? as for the long-term candidates of the Western Balkans (WB). However, the WB?s EU accession process brought with it additional conditions, such as regional cooperation, reconciliation and good neighbourly relations. The EU?s objective at the time was to encourage the countries in the region to improve relations with their neighbours and to deal with the war legacies through regional cooperation initiatives. This raises the question of how, and to what extent, these additional criteria could become part of the EU integration process of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia - all countries in conflict with neighbouring Russia. The theoretical background of the analysis is the EU?s actorness and its policy of external governance, expanding its normative sphere of influence to non-EU members. The paper discusses the additional WB conditions and identifies similar preconditions in the relevant EU agreements and documents for Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia since 2014. it shows that some of the WB preconditions are used in Eastern European Partner (EaP) countries but are, for now, seemingly less of a priority.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GSD) is defined as hyperglycemia of variable degree with onset or first recognition during pregnancy which does not meet the criteria of clinical diabetes mellitus (DM). The growing incidence of GSD is a global health problem, affecting from 9% to 12% of pregnancies worldwide. In this review, we focused on the key aspects of GSD prevention. Major risk factors of GSD development include family history, past medical history of GSD, fetal macrosomia in previous pregnancies, and obesity. At primary treatment, lifestyle interventions (e.g., change of the dietary pattern) may represent an efficient measure, and here we consider several types of diets and dietary supplements (e.g., myoinositol, folic acid, and probiotics) that might be useful to mitigate GSD. Physical activity and specialised psychological care during pregnancy planning, during the pregnancy and in the postpartum period has a number of positive effects. Adequate perception of GSD, which might be improved by psychotherapy, directly correlates with adherence to therapeutic and preventive measures. The complex of dietary interventions, increased physical activity, and psychological care can significantly reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

This study sought to enhance the planning process of housing projects in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia by measuring residential satisfaction. To achieve this goal, the study conducted a survey of 3,568 household heads in four public housing projects and analyzed 342 responses using descriptive statistics. The survey consisted of forty-three indicators across six dimensions: residents' demographics, housing, social environment, physical environment, accessibility to services, and efficiency of services. The results of the survey revealed that while 49.6% of the residents were satisfied with their social relationships with neighbors, friends, and family, 59.4% of respondents were unsatisfied with the sense of safety and security within the projects, 78.7% were dissatisfied with housing project management, 68.8% with the physical environment, and 76.9% with access to public facilities such as mosques, schools, health and commercial centers, workplaces, relatives' homes, and the efficiency of housing project services was dissatisfied rated at 77.5%. Overall, the majority of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the housing projects as a place to live. To address these findings, the study developed a conceptual framework and approach based on residents' satisfaction as a means of improving the planning and design of housing projects in Saudi Arabia. The study also reviewed best practices for planning housing projects worldwide to inform the conceptual framework and approach. These findings and suggestions can inform future efforts to improve the residential satisfaction of housing projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Journalists as Life Writers
Authors: Ray Kasturi
Published: September 2023

Journalists by profession are storytellers across mediums in different languages. After years of practice, many journalists, in the past and even now, step into the world of writing books, particularly life narratives like biographies and autobiographies. One of the reasons to choose the genre is their expertise, as journalists often meet people and unravel their characteristics in the profile and interview formats. Another reason is their ability to do research and delve deep into people’s lives. The present study picks up a few journalists at random who have authored biographies and autobiographies, and studies their approach to writing books and the craft of presentation keeping in mind their experience and expertise.

Changes of land use, population and climate cause spatial and temporal changes in renewable water resources. For better understanding of the changes and effective management of water resources, hydrological investigations in river catchments are carried out around the world. A special investigation involves a study of hydrological processes in small site-specific catchments. The aim of the study is to analyse three characteristic river flows of a small lowland river on the basis of field surveys over two multiannual periods and to evaluate the applicability of indirect methods for determining characteristic flows in the catchment. Hydrological studies in the small agricultural catchment of the Mławka River, located in the Mławka Hills mesoregion, a part of the North Mazovian Lowland macro-region, have continued since 1966. The recorded data were used to determine daily flows and selected characteristic flows for multiannual periods of 1966–1990 and 1991–2020. To determine characteristic flows with indirect methods, three regional formulae and isorea methods were used. The study showed a decrease in renewable water resources over the period. In the multiannual periods, the average flow at the gauge station of Mławka River decreased by 15.6%. The outflow coefficient decreased from 0.303 to 0.265. The minimum annual flows also decreased by 29.1% and annual maximum flows showed an average increase by 19.7%. The use of indirect methods to determine the mean flow yielded results that converged with those from the second multiannual period.

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for the growth and development of plants, but excessive use of nitrogen fertiliser in agriculture can result in environmental pollution. As a preferred nitrogen form, ammonium (NH 4 +) is absorbed from the soil by the plants through ammonium transporters (AMTs). Therefore, it is important to explore AMTs to improve the efficiency of plant N utilisation. Here, we performed a comprehensive genome-wide analysis to identify and characterise the AMT genes in barley ( HvAMTs), which is a very important cereal crop. A total of seven AMT genes were identified in barley and further divided into two subfamilies ( AMT1 and AMT2) based on phylogenetic analysis. All HvAMT genes were distributed on five chromosomes with only one tandem duplication. HvAMTs might play an important role in plant growth, development, and various stress responses, as indicated by cis- regulatory elements, miRNAs, and protein interaction analysis. Further, we analysed the expression pattern of HvAMTs in various developmental plant tissues, which indicated that AMT1 subfamily members might play a major role in the uptake of NH 4 + from the soil through the roots in barley. Altogether, these findings might be helpful to improve the barley crop with improved nitrogen use efficiency, which is not only of great significance to the crop but also for land and water as it will reduce N fertiliser pollution in the surrounding ecosystem.

The depletion of natural resources such as freshwater and cropland makes it necessary to find a new solution for sustainable food production. Aquaponic systems seem to be a great alternative to traditional agriculture, however, there are still many unknowns that need to be explored. It is already known how fish stocking affects water quality in aquaponic systems, but not how it affects the plants’ growth, and especially on chlorophyll fluorescence. In this study, we examined how the density of 0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 stocking fish in five aquaria affects lettuce growth. The first tank was only a hydroponic system with plants but without fish (control). In the remaining four aquaria – 2, 4, 8 and 12 specimens of common carp fry with an average weight of 20 grams (average 8.5–33.2 g) were placed in the aquaponic growing system. Physicochemical analysis of water was conducted to determine the levels of pH, electrical conductivity ( EC), N-NO 3, N-NO 2, N-NH 4, P-PO 4, O 2 and physiological parameters of plants (nitrogen balance index – NBI, chlorophyll content index – CCI, quantum yield – QY, flavonoid content – Flv) were analysed. The results showed that fish stocking density has different effects on plant physiological parameters, but in most cases, was insignificant. It seems that the greater number of fishes and higher density indirectly causes growth inhibition (lower photosynthetic efficiency) due to the increase of N-NO 3 and a decrease of O 2 in the water.
Raising of Embankment of an Ore Tailings Pond and an Analysis of its Stability
Authors: Chropeňová Dagmar , Slávik Ivan
Published: September 2023

The article presents a method for the intensification of a tailings pond. A tailings pond serves for the hydraulic storage of silt-sand waste arising during a flotation treatment and the processing of polymetallic ores. The intensification of the tailings pond consisted of raising its dam system to increase its accumulation space. The total proposed height of the tailings pond dam system after its elevation will be 60 m. The structural and shape arrangement of the dam in the dam system of the tailings pond was the result of a stability analysis of the state of the tailings pond before and after the dam system was raised. The article presents the results of experimental verifications of the geomaterial properties that form quasi-homogeneous units of the tailings pond (subsoil, dam system, and sediment) that serve as the inputs for stability analyses. New limiting and critical water levels are modelled based on the stability analysis for the intensified dam system of the tailings pond, taking into account the standard requirements for its overall stability.
Digital Transformation and Employment: Challenges for Human Resource Use and Management
Authors: Thu Trang Nguyen
Published: September 2023

The transition from "human" to "machine" has become the objectives and means for countries' economic progress. In the long run, this approach will provide new and better job prospects for employees. However, for social science researchers, "unemployment due to technological innovation" is a source of concern because the transition process for jobless individuals to find new occupations can be lengthy, particularly for the group of untrained, low-skilled employees. The purpose of this study is to present a summary of prominent concepts used domestic and international scholars and researchers to explain the impact of technology on workers' employment dynamics. The study uses a conceptual approach through a review of related documents to analyze the impact of technology in general and digital transformation in particular on employment in general. In the context of the fourth industrial revolution, the article also illuminates discussions regarding altering the nature of work, particularly those pertaining to employment polarization and unemployment brought on by labor technology.
