A Bidirectional Versatile Buck–Boost Converter Driver for Electric Vehicle Applications
Authors: González-Castaño Catalina , Restrepo Carlos , Kouro Samir , Vidal-Idiarte Enric , Calvente Javier
Published: August 2021

This work presents a novel dc-dc bidirectional buck–boost converter between a battery pack and the inverter to regulate the dc-bus in an electric vehicle (EV) powertrain. The converter is based on the versatile buck–boost converter, which has shown an excellent performance in different fuel cell systems operating in low-voltage and hard-switching applications. Therefore, extending this converter to higher voltage applications such as the EV is a challenging task reported in this work. A high-efficiency step-up/step-down versatile converter can improve the EV powertrain efficiency for an extended range of electric motor (EM) speeds, comprising urban and highway driving cycles while allowing the operation under motoring and regeneration (regenerative brake) conditions. DC-bus voltage regulation is implemented using a digital two-loop control strategy. The inner feedback loop is based on the discrete-time sliding-mode current control (DSMCC) strategy, and for the outer feedback loop, a proportional-integral (PI) control is employed. Both digital control loops and the necessary transition mode strategy are implemented using a digital signal controller TMS320F28377S. The theoretical analysis has been validated on a 400 V 1.6 kW prototype and tested through simulation and an EV powertrain system testing.

The chemical constituents of JUUL Virginia Tobacco pods with 3.0% and 5.0% nicotine by weight (VT3 and VT5) were characterized by non-targeted analyses, an approach to detect chemicals that are not otherwise measured with dedicated methods or that are not known beforehand. Aerosols were generated using intense and non-intense puffing regimens and analyzed by gas chromatography electron ionization mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography electrospray ionization high resolving power mass spectrometry. All compounds above 0.7 µg/g for GC–MS analysis or above 0.5 µg/g for LC–HRMS analysis and differing from blank measurements were identified and semi-quantified. All identifications were evaluated and categorized into five groups: flavorants, harmful and potentially harmful constituents, extractables and/or leachables, reaction products, and compounds that could not be identified/rationalized. For VT3, 79 compounds were identified using an intense puffing regimen and 69 using a non-intense puffing regimen. There were 60 compounds common between both regimens. For VT5, 85 compounds were identified with an intense puffing regimen and 73 with a non-intense puffing regimen; 67 compounds were in common. For all nicotine concentrations, formulations and puffing regimens, reaction products accounted for the greatest number of compounds (ranging from 70% to 75%; 0.08% to 0.1% by mass), and flavorants comprised the second largest number of compounds (ranging from for 15% to 16%; 0.1 to 0.2% by mass). A global comparison of the compounds detected in JUUL aerosol to those catalogued in cigarette smoke indicated an approximate 50-fold decrease in chemical complexity. Both VT3 and VT5 aerosols contained 59 unique compounds not identified in cigarette smoke.
The Role of Institutional Context for Sustainability Cross-Sector Partnerships. An Exploratory Analysis of European Cities
Authors: Ordonez-Ponce Eduardo
Published: August 2021

Institutional contexts influence structures and processes of any organizational system. Most of the research on cross-sector partnerships (CSSPs) has focused on their internal performance, methods, and effectiveness; however, the institutional contexts that allow or inhibit their development have been limitedly assessed. Many local CSSPs address sustainability issues, and this research explores Barcelona + Sustainable’s and Bristol Green Capital Partnership’s institutional contexts at the local, national, and international levels. Interviews were conducted with the leaders of the partnerships and responses were assessed using Scott’s (1995) institutional pillars. Findings show the cultural-cognitive and normative institutional elements of context as the most relevant for local sustainability CSSPs, with regulatory elements not existing at the national level nor cultural-cognitive at the international scale. More importantly, results highlight trust, diversity, communication channels, sense of place, changing perceptions, and coopetition as key learnings to be considered for other partnerships in their design. Finally, with cultural-cognitive and normative elements speaking of the power of local features, it is these partnerships the ones influencing others beyond their scopes of action, with the potential of leading sustainability even further. However, associated activities and resources to provide stability and meaning to sustainability partnerships must be satisfied for that to happen.

Published: August 2021

The article deals with the design of an innovative system for scheduling piece and small series discrete production using a combination of parametric simulation models and selected optimization methods. An innovative system for solving production scheduling problems is created based on data from a real production system at the workshop level. The methodology of the innovative system using simulation and optimization methods deals with the sequential scheduling problem due to its versatility, which includes several production systems and due to the fact that in practice, several modifications to production scheduling problems are encountered. Proposals of individual modules of the innovative system with the proposed communication channels have been presented, which connect the individual elements of the created library of objects for solving problems of sequential production scheduling. With the help of created communication channels, it is possible to apply individual parameters of a real production system directly to the assembled simulation model. In this system, an initial set of optimization methods is deployed, which can be applied to solve the sequential problem of production scheduling. The benefit of the solution is an innovative system that defines the content of the necessary data for working with the innovative system and the design of output reports that the proposed system provides for production planning for the production shopfloor level. The DPSS system works with several optimization methods (CR—Critical Ratio, S/RO—Slack/Remaining Operations, FDD—Flow Due Date, MWKR—Most Work Remaining, WSL—Waiting Slack, OPFSLK/PK—Operational Flow Slack per Processing Time) and the simulation experiments prove that the most suitable solution for the FT10 problem is the critical ratio method in which the replaceability of the equipment was not considered. The total length of finding all solutions by the DPSS system was 1.68 min. The main benefit of the DPSS system is the combination of two effectively used techniques not only in practice, but also in research; the mentioned techniques are production scheduling and discrete computer simulation. By combining techniques, it is possible to generate a dynamically and interactively changing simulated production program. Subsequently, it is possible to decide in the emerging conditions of certainty, uncertainty, but also risk. To determine the conditions, models of production systems are used, which represent physical production systems with their complex internal processes. Another benefit of combining techniques is the ability to evaluate a production system with a number of emerging problem modifications.
The Role of External Support on the Implementation of Resource Efficiency Actions: Evidence from European Manufacturing Firms
Authors: Aristei David , Gallo Manuela
Published: August 2021

This paper contributes to analyze the relationship between firms’ recourse to different types of external support and adoption of environmental sustainability practices. To this aim, we consider both direct financial support and indirect support, in the form of advice and consulting services, upon which the firm relies on in its efforts to be more resource efficient. The empirical analysis uses data on 6595 manufacturing firms from 35 European countries, taken from the third and fourth waves of the Flash Eurobarometer survey “Small and Medium Enterprises, Resource Efficiency and Green Markets”. Our empirical findings suggest that firms using external financing and external advice are more likely to implement greening investments and practices. Moreover, we provide strong empirical evidence that external support significantly contributes to increase the benefits from the adoption of resource efficiency actions in terms of production cost reduction. This study further contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the heterogenous effects of direct and indirect external support on the environmental sustainability actions of both SMEs and large firms.
Hydrostatic Pressure Wheel for Regulation of Open Channel Networks and for the Energy Supply of Isolated Sites
Authors: Cassan Ludovic , Dellinger Guilhem , Maussion Pascal , Dellinger Nicolas
Published: August 2021

The Hydrostatic Pressure Wheel is an innovative solution to regulate flow discharges and waters heights in open channel networks. Indeed, they can maintain a water depth while producing energy for supplying sensors and a regulation system. To prove the feasibility of this solution, a complete model of water depth–discharge–rotational speed relationship has been elaborated. The latter takes into account the different energy losses present in the turbine. Experimental measurements achieved in IMFT laboratory allowed to calibrate the coefficients of head losses relevant for a large range of operating conditions. Once the model had been validated, an extrapolation to a real case showed the possibility of maintaining upstream water level but also of being able to produce sufficient energy for supplying in energy isolated sites. The solution thus makes it possible to satisfy primary energy needs while respecting the principles of frugal innovation: simplicity, robustness, reduced environmental impact.

Published: August 2021

The research community of environmental economics has had a growing interest for the exploration of artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems to provide enriched efficiencies and strengthened human knacks in daily live maneuvers, business stratagems, and society evolution. In this investigation, AI-based intelligent backpropagation networks of Bayesian regularization (IBNs-BR) were exploited for the numerical treatment of mathematical models representing environmental economic systems (EESs). The governing relations of EESs were presented in the form of differential models representing their fundamental compartments or indicators for economic and environmental parameters. The reference datasets of EESs were assembled using the Adams numerical solver for different EES scenarios and were used as targets of IBNs-BR to find the approximate solutions. Comparative studies based on convergence curves on the mean square error (MSE) and absolute deviation from the reference results were used to verify the correctness of IBNs-BR for solving EESs, i.e., MSE of around 10−9 to 10−10 and absolute error close to 10−5 to 10−7. The endorsement of results was further validated through performance evaluation by means of error histogram analysis, the regression index, and the mean squared deviation-based figure of merit for each EES scenario.

Published: August 2021

We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the double phase differential operator and with a superlinear reaction which need not satisfy the Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. Using the Nehari manifold, we show that the problem has at least three nontrivial bounded solutions: nodal, positive and by the symmetry of the behaviour at +∞ and −∞ also negative.
Helicobacter pylori CagA EPIYA Motif Variations Affect Metabolic Activity in B Cells
Authors: Diechler Sebastian , Chichirau Bianca E. , Posselt Gernot , Sgouras Dionyssios N. , Wessler Silja
Published: August 2021

Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) colonizes the human stomach and can induce gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Clinical observations suggest a role for the Hp virulence factor cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) in pathogenesis. The pathogenic activity of CagA is partly regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation of C-terminal Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) motifs in host cells. However, CagA differs considerably in EPIYA motifs, whose functions have been well characterized in epithelial cells. Since CagA is fragmented in immune cells, different CagA variants may exhibit undetected functions in B cells. Methods: B cells were infected with Hp isolates and isogenic mutants expressing different CagA EPIYA variants. CagA translocation and tyrosine phosphorylation were investigated by Western blotting. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry and metabolic activity was detected by an MTT assay. Results: Isogenic CagA EPIYA variants are equally well translocated into B cells, followed by tyrosine phosphorylation and cleavage. B cell apoptosis was induced in a CagA-independent manner. However, variants containing at least one EPIYA-C motif affected metabolic activity independently of phosphorylation or multiplication of EPIYA-C motifs. Conclusions: The diverse structure of CagA regulates B cell physiology, whereas B cell survival is independent of CagA.

Enteric infectious diseases are not all well controlled, which leads to animal suffering and sometimes death in the most severe cases, in addition to economic losses for farmers. Typical symptoms of enteric infections include watery diarrhea, stomach cramps or pain, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, fever and weight loss. Evaluation of new control methods against enteric infections requires the use of many animals. We aimed to develop a new method for an initial in vivo screen of promising compounds against neonatal diseases such as cryptosporidiosis while limiting experimental animal use. We therefore adapted an in vivo method of multiple consecutive but independent intestinal loops to newborn lambs delivered by cesarean section, in which endotoxin responsiveness is retained. This new method allowed for the screening of natural yeast fractions for their ability to stimulate immune responses and to limit early Cryptosporidium parvum development. This model may also be used to investigate host–pathogen interactions and immune responses in a neonatal controlled environment.

Published: August 2021

Microalgae cultivation in wastewater is an emerging approach to remove its contaminants and generate microalgal biomass. This study aimed to screen and isolate potential strains in a cassava biogas effluent wastewater (CBEW) treatment system and produce algal biomass. Chlorella sorokiniana strains P21 and WB1DG were isolated from CBEW and found to grow by utilizing various carbon sources. Experiments conducted in a batch reactor using an unsterilized substrate were done to evaluate the nutrient removal and growth of isolated strains from CBEW. The results showed that C. sorokiniana P21 and WB1DG could achieve biomass accumulation of more than 2564 and 1301 mg L−1, respectively. The removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorous (TP), and total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) were found up to be 63.42, 91.68, and 70.66%, respectively, in a WB1DG culture and 73.78, 92.11, and 67.33%, respectively, in a P21 culture. Harvestability of the P21 strain was examined using several coagulant–flocculants. FeCl3 was found to remove more than 90% of the cells. Nutrient removal and growth rates resulting from these indigenous strains with application of untreated CBEW support the possibility of this strain being a promising candidate to couple a CBEW treatment and algal biomass generation with minimal process adjustment.
Framework for Risk-Based Decision Support on Infiltration and Inflow to Wastewater Systems
Authors: Ohlin Saletti Anna , Rosén Lars , Lindhe Andreas
Published: August 2021

Infiltration and inflow (I/I) to wastewater systems cause e.g., flooding, pollution, and the unnecessary use of the limited resources in society. Due to climate change and an increased need for the renewal of piping systems, making the right decisions on how to handle I/I is more important than ever. This paper presents a novel framework for risk-based decision support on I/I based on established theories on risk assessment and decision-making. The framework is presented on a general level and suggests that uncertainties are included in the decision-making process, together with criteria representing the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. Published models on I/I and decision support are evaluated based on criteria from the framework showing that (1) the models rarely include risk-based decision-making or uncertainties in the analyses and that (2) most models only include project-internal financial aspects, excluding social and environmental, as well as project-external aspects, of I/I and I/I measures. A need for further research to develop a more holistic decision support model for I/I is identified, and it is concluded that the application of the proposed framework can contribute to more sustainable decisions on how to handle I/I and provide transparency to the process.
EMC assassement criteria and interference protection for basic radio services in accordance with ITU-R recommendations
Authors: Stancheva Anushka
Published: August 2021

The effect of unwanted energy due to one or a combination of several desired and unwanted emissions upon reception in a radio communication system results in performance degradation, misinterpretation or loss of information. Multiple sources of interference may affect the receiver input: services of the same type or other operating in the same frequency band, services operating in adjacent frequency bands, sources generating continuous or short term interferences, fixed or mobile sources, etc. To prevent such interfering situations, a key element is the standardization of appropriate criteria for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and interference protection (IPC). The purpose of the studies and analyzes in this article is to systematize the criteria for electromagnetic compatibility for basic radio services based on the Publications of ITU-R. Criteria for four important areas of radio communications covering fixed, fixed satellite, broadcasting and mobile radio services are compared. Contributions are the categorization of the criteria according to the type of interfering signal and the results of the analyses, which show that the regulatory requirements and practical methods for interference protection and EMC for different radio services differ. Detailed criteria for predicting the probability of interference being standardized only for some radio services.

Published: August 2021

The use of positive international practice in state support for the agriculture and rural areas is becoming an increasingly urgent task for domestic politicians, and a thorough study of international experience is an important mission of modern science. The experience of European countries, the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy of which is famous by both a long history and constant evolution to changing external conditions, is useful from the point of view of the possibilities of incorporation into domestic practice. The article examines a specific period (2014–2020) in the development of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), characterized, firstly, by introduction of new mechanisms and principles, secondly, by active implementation simultaneously with the first component of the policy (First Pillar ) of its second component (Second Pillar), which is aimed at harmonious rural development, means an attempt to link the European (common) context with local characteristics and priorities in the development of rural areas. Important theoretical and practical conclusions proposed for discussion by the scientific community and politicians were obtained in the study as a result of a thorough analysis of Eurostat data, the annual reports of the European Commission, the European Parliament, accompanying the implementation of CAP funds (EAFR, EAGF). The scientific hypotheses formulated and verified in the course of the research can be reduced to the following conclusions: 1) the directions and instruments of state agrarian policy require constant updating following the fluctuations of the agrarian sphere surrounding environment; 2) the priorities of agrarian policy (European, domestic) are naturally and gradually shifted towards the support of rural areas, within the boundaries of which agricultural production is carried out and the life of the rural population takes place; 3) global challenges and threats (climate change, environmental degradation, the spread of viral infections, etc.) inevitably make significant adjustments to the economic, social, political life of society, which, of course, affects the organization of any state (region) agrarian policy.

Published: August 2021

Fecaliths or fecomucoliths can form in rectal stumps after a Hartmann procedure or in a coloneovaginal conduit. They can cause significant distress to the patient by causing symptoms such as discharge and odor. We describe a novel and effective method of endoscopic obliteration and removal where other techniques such as removal during examination under anesthesia or serial enemas have failed. By using a combination of hydrodissection with a saline injector gun and biopsy forceps and a polypectomy snare to break down the fecomucolith or fecalith, this troublesome problem can be resolved endoscopically. Successful removal of the fecalith/fecomucolith and resolution of the symptoms for the patients were achieved. No complications are reported. We describe an effective and novel method for endoscopic removal of fecaliths and fecomucoliths.

Caste and dynamics of Iyothee Thass
Authors: C Angayarkanni , K Kiruthiga
Published: August 2021

The message of history is that society and its dynamics have been subject to change over time. One of them is caste-based activities. The word "Satyam" is indelible all over India. There has been no change in the view of “caste discrimination” in civilization, education, and even in the developing world. In the early days, people were segregated on the basis of land and occupation. Then they became racist due to the arrival of Vanderis (disguised Brahmins). Racial discrimination sought to keep a large number of people in a state of disgrace. This situation continued for a long time. However, with the advent of British colonial rule in India, "caste discrimination" may have taken a turn for the worse. The missionaries' aim was to seize wealth and spread their religion. Only when we are all united can we restore our self. They said they could be released. Who pioneered the second stage. C. Iyothee Thass Pandit. He has publicly recorded the progress of his people based on Buddhism. This can be seen in the dominance of his views on literature.

Apocalipse sem revelação?
Authors: Almeida Philippe Oliveira de
Published: August 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é debater a relação entre visão profética e crítica das ideologias no pensamento do filósofo brasileiro Roberto Mangabeira Unger. Procuraremos demonstrar como a promessa messiânica estrutura a obra de Unger, e a diferencia de outros trabalhos relacionados aos Critical Legal Studies (movimento que ele ajudou a fundar). A Modernidade secularizou a Teologia da História bíblico-cristã, interpretando a si mesma como momento derradeiro da trajetória humana, nos quadros de um painel escatológico. Assim, o Apocalipse mantém-se sempre presente em nosso campo de visão – embora, diversamente das Histórias da Salvação de cunho religioso, nosso Armagedom não seja sucedido por uma utopia, um tempo de perdão e reconciliação para os justos. Ora, se as ficções distópicas e pós-apocalípticas configuram-se nas mais completas traduções do Zeitgeist, o utopismo milenarista de Unger (secularizado) impõe-se como um cânon contra-hegemônico consistente. Em um primeiro momento, trataremos do niilismo que configura o capitalismo tardio, e que engendra “falsas necessidades” (na terminologia de Unger). Após, mostraremos como os Critical Legal Studies acabaram se deixando macular como uma lógica antiutópica. Finalmente, discorreremos, tomando como referência principal o livro The religion of future, sobre as visões proféticas de/em Unger.
Estado do Direito & Direito do Estado

Published: August 2021

Perante o Estado atual do Direito, o grande problema que avulta, aquele para que merece mais a pena chamar a atenção, é o caráter estadual do Direito. Não, obviamente, o caráter estadual de todo o Direito (pois há Direito sem Estado) mas porque se corre o perigo de haver, em certas latitudes, Estado contra o Direito e Direito de costas voltadas para o progresso civilizacional que representou e ainda representa o Estado. Na perspectiva mais corrente de que o Estado é obra da Modernidade e não simplesmente todas as formas políticas. Portanto, falemos de Estado do Direito na ótica de manter um Direito que procura uma função social, através do grande empreendimento coletivo que é o Estado. E entendendo ainda Estado como comunidade organizada e não como estado-simplesmente aparelho.

Munculnya perda syariah di tataran pemerintahan lokal di Indonesia bukan lagi hal yang baru termasuk di Kota Tasikmalaya yang mempunyai predikat sebagai kota santri. Keinginan pemerintah Kota Tasikmalaya dalam menata nilai masyarakatnya dibuktikan dengan dikeluarkannya Peraturan Daerah Nomor 12 Tahun 2009 tentang pembangunan tata nilai masyarakat yang berlandaskan ajaran agama Islam dan norma-norma masyarakat Kota Tasikmalaya. Awal dibentuknya, perda ini telah menimbulkan banyak kontroversi diantara berbagai kalangan tidak hanya dalam konteks lokal tapi juga nasional sehingga pada akhirnya peraturan tersebut harus dibatalkan atau direvisi karena dianggap diskriminatif. Namun pada tahun 2014, Pemerintah Kota Tasikmalaya kembali mengeluarkan peraturan daerah Nomor 7 tahun 2014 yang merupakan hasil revisi dari Peraturan Daerah Nomor 12 Tahun 2009. Dalam hal ini Perda Nomor 7 Tahun 2014 mengatur penerapan syariat islam melalui nilai-nilai religius islami seperti pemeliharaan keyakinan beragama, pengamalan beribadah, kewajiban melaksanakan ibadah, mengutamakan sistem ekonomi syariah, pengembangan pendidikan agama dan etika berpakaian. Namun, setelah empat tahun berjalan peraturan daerah tersebut masih perlu dievaluasi keberadaannya karena dalam pelaksanaannya peraturan daerah ini dianggap masih diskriminatif dan terlalu ekslusif dimana dalam setiap programnya terlalu difokuskan untuk satu kalangan yakni kalangan umat islam. Selain itu pelaksanaan perda ini masih belum menyentuh semua sasaran yang ada dalam kebijakan tersebut.

Kajian tentang hijab syar’i menjadi diskursus menarik saat ini. Diskursus kontemporer ini meskipun memunculkan kontroversi (sebab motif dan model tampilan berbeda-beda), tetapi secara kuantitatif pemakainya semakin marak terutama di Sumatera Barat. Fokus penelitian ini adalah fenomenologi mahasiswa Universitas Ekasakti (khususnya Mahasiswi yang menjadi anggota komunitas Lembaga Dakwah Kampus Forum Studi Islam Al- Hidayah). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konstruksi makna Hijab Syar’i di kalangan Mahasiswa Universitas Ekasakti dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan paradigma konstruktivis serta metode fenomenologi. Jumlah informan sebanyak 5 orang yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa makna pemakaian Hijab Syar’i di kalangan mahasiswa adalah sebagai 1) pelindung, penghalang, menjaga pandangan dari laki-laki, 2) Sebagai cara untuk menutup aurat. 3) Sebagai bentuk ketaatan dan kewajiban bagi seorang muslimah dalam menjalankan perintah Allah, dan 4). Sebagai cara untuk menjauhi larangan-Nya. Motif pemakaian Hijab Syar’i di kalangan mahasiswa universitas Ekasakti sejalan dengan pendapat Alfred Schutz terdiri atas in order to motive (keinginan menjadi pribadi muslimah yang lebih islami) dan because motive (munculnya kesadaran menjalankan syariah agama Islam yang benar). Selanjutnya pengalaman yang menyenangkan bagi mahasiswa Universitas Ekasakti selama memakai Hijab Syar’i adalah adanya pujian dan simpati dari lingkungan dimana pun mereka berada. Sedangkan pengalaman yang tidak menyenangkan adalah ketika munculnya suara-suara sumbang seperti meragukan konsistensi penampilan, cari sensasi, atau munafik.Kata Kunci: Makna, Pengalaman, Motif, Hijab Syar’i
