Because they have mutual rights to do so, banks and customers mutually maintain the agreed cooperation.
Underwater implosion behavior of 3D-printed polymer structures
Authors: Grantham-Coogan Nathan , Tilton Craig , Matos Helio , Shukla Arun
Published: March 2024

This study experimentally investigates the failure behavior of 3D-printed polymer tubes during underwater implosion. Implosion is a prevalent failure mechanism in the underwater domain, and the adaptation of new technology, such as 3D printing, allows for the rapid manufacturing of pressure vessels with complex geometries. This study analyzes the failure performance of 3D-printed polymer structures to aid the future development of 3D-printed pressure vessels. The 3D-printed tube specimens analyzed were fabricated using digital light synthesis (DLS) technology and included four different case geometries. The geometries consist of three cylindrical shells of varying diameter and thickness and one double hull structure with a cylindrical gyroid core filler. These specimens were submerged in a pressure vessel and subjected to increasing hydrostatic pressure until implosion failure occurred. High-speed photography and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) were employed to capture the collapse event to obtain full-field displacements. Local dynamic pressure histories during failure were recorded using piezoelectric transducers. The findings highlight that the 3D-printed polymers underwent significant deformation and failed at localized points due to material failure. The fracture of the specimens during failure introduced inconsistencies in pressure and impulse data due to the chaotic nature of the failure. Notably, the energy flow analysis revealed that the proportion of energy released via the pressure pulse was lower than in traditional aluminum structures. These findings contribute to our understanding of the behavior of 3D-printed polymers under hydrostatic pressure conditions.

The Homotopy Perturbation Method for Electrically Actuated Microbeams in Mems Systems Subjected to Van Der Waals Force and Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
Authors: Amir Muhammad , Haider Jamil Abbas , Ashraf Asifa
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a summary of a study that uses the Aboodh transformation and homotopy perturbation approach to analyze the behavior of electrically actuated microbeams in microelectromechanical systems that incorporate multiwalled carbon nanotubes and are subjected to the van der Waals force. All of the equations were transformed into linear form using the HPM approach. Electrically operated microbeams, a popular structure in MEMS, are the subject of this work. Because of their interaction with a nearby surface, these microbeams are sensitive to a variety of forces, such as the van der Waals force and body forces. MWCNTs are also incorporated into the MEMSs in this study because of their special mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics. The suggested method uses the HPM to model how electrically activated microbeams behave when MWCNTs and the van der Waals force are present. The nonlinear equations controlling the dynamics of the system can be roughly solved thanks to the HPM. The HPM offers a precise and effective way to analyze the microbeam’s reaction to these outside stimuli by converting the nonlinear equations into linear forms. The study’s findings shed important light on how electrically activated microbeams behave in MEMSs. A more thorough examination of the system’s performance is made possible with the addition of MWCNTs and the van der Waals force. With its ability to approximate solutions and characterize system behavior, the HPM is a potent instrument that improves comprehension of the physics at play and facilitates the design and optimization of MEMS devices. The aforementioned method’s accuracy is verified by comparing it with published data that directly aligns with Anjum et al.’s findings. We have faith in this method’s accuracy and its current application.
Computer Simulation of Heat and Mass Transfer Effects on Nanofluid Flow of Blood Through an Inclined Stenosed Artery With Hall Effect
Authors: Mishra Nidhish Kumar
Published: March 2024

The present study deals with the analysis of heat and mass transfer for nanofluid flow of blood through an inclined stenosed artery under the influence of the Hall effect. The effects of hematocrit-dependent viscosity, Joule heating, chemical reaction and viscous dissipation are taken into account in the governing equations of the physical model. Non-dimensional differential equations are solved using the finite difference method, by taking into account the no-slip boundary condition. The effects of different thermophysical parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, shear stress coefficient and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers of nano-biofluids are exhaustively discussed and analysed through graphs. With an increase in stenosis height, shear stress, the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are computed, and the impacts of each are examined for different physical parameters. To better understand the numerous phenomena that arise in the artery when nanofluid is present, the data are displayed graphically and physically described. It is observed that as the Hartman number and Hall parameter increase, the velocity drops. This is as a result of the Lorentz force that the applied magnetic field has generated. Blood flow in the arteries is resisted by the Lorentz force. This study advances the knowledge of stenosis and other defects’ non-surgical treatment options and helps reduce post-operative consequences. Moreover, ongoing research holds promise in the biomedical field, specifically in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), an imaging method for artery examination and anomaly detection.
Morphology, Sedimentology and OSL Chronology of the Lower Prosna River System Evolution – A Case Study in Rokutów, West-Central Poland
Authors: Wojtalak Andrzej , Sokołowski Robert J. , Moska Piotr
Published: March 2024

This paper presents comprehensive investigations of the morphological, sedimentological, and stratigraphic features in the lower Prosna River valley infill, situated in west-central Poland. At the Rokutów site, we identified two meander generations and an anastomosing system. Fluvial changes observed depict the response of the extraglacial river system to climate fluctuations post-last glaciation. Following valley aggradation, scouring erosion, reaching depths of 9–10 m, likely occurred during the Bølling Interstadial. ‘Great meanders’ emerged during the Allerød-Younger Dryas, persisting for around 1000 years, with an uncommon upstream rotation influenced by the sub-Quaternary surface slope. A lengthy stabilization phase, lasting 8000–10,000 years, characterized by an anastomosing system with gradual aggradation, followed the great meandering period. About 3600–3900 years ago, the valley shifted back to a fluvial system with small meanders, lasting 600–900 years. Subsequently, the River Prosna reverted to an anastomosing system, remaining so until the 19th–20th centuries when it transformed into a single-channel system through regulatory manipulation. Our research suggests that the evolution of the Prosna River differed from other rivers across Western and Central Europe, exhibiting a blend of anastomosing and meandering phases.
Does Stakeholder Management Contribute to a Museum’s Sustainable Development?
Authors: Zbuchea Alexandra , Bira Monica
Published: March 2024

Museums are increasingly more connected to the concerns of the present-day society. In order to be actively involved in the development of the society and well-being of their communities, museums are more connected than ever, are active partners for their stakeholders. Having this new framework in mind, the present paper investigates the complex relationships between stakeholders and museums, as well as the role stakeholders could have to achieve the museum’s sustainable development. The present paper investigates how Romanian museums are using the stakeholder management approach to ensure their sustainable development. The interviews reveal why the funding bodies are considered by far the most important stakeholders. Other museums are generally ranked among the most important partners, along with local cultural organizations and educational ones. Sustainable development and increased impact on the museum’s community are constant concerns, but the main stakeholders and partners are rather narrowly considered.
Intergenerational Learning - a Topic of Discussion or a Reality? Taking a Closer Look at the Academics
Authors: Leon Ramona-Diana
Published: March 2024

In the current sharing economy, intergenerational learning is seen as a solution to the aging society phenomenon. Nevertheless, this field is still in an embryonic stage of development and most studies are either conceptual or based on a qualitative approach. This research concentrates on the academics who analyze the concept of “intergenerational learning” to determine whether they are treating this issue as a research topic or they are actively supporting the process in their daily activity. To achieve this goal, the qualitative and quantitative approaches are combined and a multi-stage research strategy is employed. The latter is dominated by an inductive character which is reflected by the fact that the focus is on analyzing previously researched phenomena from a different perspective. Thus, a documentary study that focuses on the articles published on SCOPUS and Web of Science, during 2008 – 2019, is combined with social network analysis, and the relationships established among the academics are emphasized. The results bring forward that: (i) most academics come from Europe and North America, and they share their knowledge with those who work on the same continent; (ii) most studies regarding intergenerational learning represent the result of the cooperation established between the members of Generation X and Generation Y; and (iii) through intergenerational cooperation, the academics share knowledge regarding education sciences, knowledge management, and human resource management. The results have both theoretical and practical implications. On the one hand, they extend the literature on intergenerational learning by providing an empirical analysis of the intergenerational knowledge flows that are shared among the academics. On the other hand, they ensure the policy-makers that the concept of intergenerational learning is approached from a multi-criteria perspective and it proves that mixed-aged teams are a viable solution for encouraging intergenerational learning.
A Knowledge Management Approach to Complex Crises
Authors: Bratianu Constantin
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this paper is to present a knowledge management approach to complex crises, having as a reference the multiple crises generated by COVID-19, crises we are living with, and for which we cannot anticipate a specific end due to the knowledge absence concerning this complexity. A complex crisis is a system crisis that induces new crises in connected systems. The knowledge management approach shows that understanding complex crises and managing them needs an excellent understanding of these crises’ knowledge gaps and the knowledge dynamics phenomena able to describe their manifestation and evolution. There is no a priori knowledge or model to give us the key to coping with these crises and designing the best solutions for all the problems generated by them. The present research is based on qualitative research of the significant literature by using the Grounded Theory. The findings show that a knowledge management approach offers new insights into the complexity of these phenomena, which can be symbolized by the Black Swan metaphor defined by Nassim Taleb in his seminal book The Black Swan. The impact of the highly improbable.
Factors Contributing to Work-Related Absenteeism during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Grigore Oana Magda
Published: March 2024

Workplace absenteeism is a complex issue that can be caused by various factors which include job dissatisfaction, organizational environment, or personal problems. The study aims to create a brief profile of absenteeism in companies operating in Iasi in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. A quantitative study was conducted to shape the profile of absenteeism, using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Findings revealed that employees working in Iasi are prone to absent as a result of attitudinal factors, in particular, autonomy linked to decision making. Organizational factors did not have a significant contribution regarding absenteeism because managers offered support when employees faced difficulties. Working for a living was the personal factor that stood out; this thing being mainly influenced by the current pandemic period. The stress of being laid off or displaced led many employees to ignore professional development. COVID-19 influenced the employees’ decision to miss a workday, the fear of getting infected, or the stress related to the pandemic outlined a behavior known as presenteeism or digital absenteeism for those that worked from home. Implementing social distancing rules prevented physical absenteeism, employees perceived the workplace as a safe environment.
Crisis Management and Resilience for Restaurants in Romania during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Motoc Adrian
Published: March 2024

The world is going through a pandemic that is spreading and affecting all parts of society. Businesses throughout Romania have been affected and many are in a state of crisis because of the virus. There is a general fear spread among the population since the government has implemented restrictions for both companies and people. This crisis is impacting restaurants all across the country. Even though a large number of restaurants are going out of business it is also clear that some prevail and some even do better than before the crisis. Previous studies conducted during a crisis showed that some businesses were more resilient than others due to the successful integration of crisis management and strategic planning. This study aims to analyze the integration between crisis management and strategic planning of four different restaurants by focusing on their leadership and culture. The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate up to what extend the restaurants are working towards resilience by conducting interviews with the leader of the restaurants and co-workers. This study showed that the crisis is changing the ways small restaurants are acting and tend to become more resilient as the crisis progress and in the face of an even more possible financial crisis. Moreover, this study showed new opportunities such a crisis brings and how small restaurants are adopting them.
The Tripartite Dynamic Relationship between Poverty, Unemployment and Construction Sector: Empirical Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Okoye Peter Uchenna , Ngwu Chukwuemeka , Ohaedeghasi Christian Ifeanyi
Published: March 2024

The increasing rate of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria has necessitated further efforts towards alternative means of reducing the trend, outside the government’s microeconomic mechanisms. As a sector with multiplier effects on other sectors of economy through its numerous activities, the construction sector is expected to reduce both poverty and unemployment. This study, therefore, examined the relationships between construction sector variables, poverty and unemployment rates in Nigeria. Using socio-economic data published by the Central Bank of Nigeria, National Bureau of Statistics, United Nations Development Program and World Bank from 1981-2019, the study deployed an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to analyze the relationships between construction sector variables, poverty, and unemployment rates. It also used Granger causality test to determine the direction of causation between the variables under investigation. The results showed that there are both long-run and short-run dynamic relationships between poverty rate and construction sector variables (F-stat. (3.93) > upper (3.67) and lower (2.79)) bounds. It showed that no long-run balanced relationship exists between the unemployment rate and construction sector variables (F-stat. (2.01) < lower (2.79) and upper (3.67)) bounds. The result further revealed that there are significant and positive linear correlations between construction sector variables, poverty, and unemployment rates; except between construction output and poverty rate, where an insignificant linear relation was established. Nevertheless, the relationships could not result to direct causal effect, except a unidirectional Granger causal relationship that flows from government capital expenditure to construction service recurrent expenditure and construction output, and from construction service recurrent expenditure to construction output. Consequently, the study suggested that construction sector expenditure and output should be directed towards poverty and unemployment reduction. This could be done through the diversification and integration of all construction sub-sectors, particularly the private sector into the nation’s economic equation. Thus, this study would direct the paths of policy makers and construction planners towards the right construction policies and plans that would lead to reduction in unemployment and poverty rates with a long-term economic transformation in Nigeria.
Can Organizational Spirituality Contribute to Knowledge Management?
Authors: Rocha Raysa , Pinheiro Paulo
Published: March 2024

Society demands more sustainable business. Increasing organizational spirituality can be one manner of accomplishing this humanized strategy, and knowledge management is an efficient method to diffuse high-level values through the company. Spirituality has a vital role in organizational theory and practice. Nevertheless, this also places a heavy burden on practitioners. To address this association, we conducted a systematic literature review, systematizing and categorizing the results to answer the research question, “can organizational spirituality contribute to knowledge management?”, and propose a future investigation research agenda. We utilized the Web of Science and Scopus database. We submitted the articles to VOSviewer software version 1.6.16 for building, displaying, and exploring a bibliometric map supported by network data. The beginning was about wisdom, followed by a major focus on knowledge fields after increasing attention to spirituality. VOSviewer provided a network with two clusters, namely, spirituality dynamics and knowledge dynamics. Spirituality and knowledge labels have connections in both clusters. Wisdom and organizational wisdom are isolated from the other terms. Based on the articles analyzed, organizational spirituality can indeed assist knowledge management. One should ponder, however, that there are still few empirical studies with non-generalizable results. Considering the mysticism and excess of non-scientific articles (and scarcity of scientific ones), we recommend a change in approaching it. Traditional and positivist methodologies are not the most suitable; consequently, innovative and mixed methods ought to be used, providing the research’s scientific nature. It is crucial to look at the insertion of spirituality in management with a scientific and critical eye.
Effect of Corporate Governance Structure and Financial Reporting Quality of Quoted Pharmaceutical Companies in Nigeria
Authors: Amah Kalu Ogbonnaya , Ekwe Michael Chidiebere
Published: March 2024

The study investigated the Effect of Corporate Governance Structure and Financial reporting quality of quoted Pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. A total of ten Pharmaceutical companies were used from 2006-2019. Data were extracted from the annual report and accounts of the Pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. Financial reporting quality was calculated using Dechow and Dicher’s (2002) model. The Housman test of multiple regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. The result found that Board independence has a positive effect on the financial reporting quality, Board compositions have a positive and significant effect on financial reporting quality, Board meeting has negative association on the financial reporting quality of pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. The ownership structure also reflects the positive and significant financial reporting quality of the selected companies. The number of times the risk management committee meets yearly as an indicator of corporate governance structure yield a positive influence on the financial reporting quality of selected pharmaceutical companies. The result for a ratio of female members in the board, i.e. gender composition and numerical strength of Audit committee members each, is yielding positive and significant effect on financial reporting quality. The r-squared outcome of 55% implies the ability of the selected pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. The regression model is also supported by the outcome of Durbin-Watson statistics which is close to 2, indicating the possible absence of autocorrelated in the regression model. It, therefore, recommends that quoted firms should adhere to the guidelines given by CBN and SEC on the code of corporate governance as it affects their financial reporting quality. Regular and spontaneous supervising functions/checks by the different regulating agencies are also recommended.
Financial Development and Private Sector Investment in the Post-Financial Liberalization Era in Tanzania
Authors: Lwesya Francis , Ismail Ismail J.
Published: March 2024

This paper examines the relationship between financial development and private sector investment in the post-financial sector liberalization episode in Tanzania. The proxies for financial development were the financial market depth index and financial institutions depth index. Applying Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique, the results show the nexus between financial development and private sector investment in Tanzania. We find that the financial market depth index has a positive and significant impact on private sector investment in the long run but not in the short run. This is linked to the underdevelopment of capital markets in Tanzania at present. Similarly, we find that the financial institution depth index positively and significantly impacts private sector investment in both the long and short run. The degree of openness of the economy recorded a positive and significant impact on private investment in both periods suggesting that it has played a critical role in the financial development and growth of the private sector in Tanzania. In contrast, we observe that the real exchange rate has recorded a negative and significant impact on private investment in the long and short run. This suggests that appreciation of the real exchange rate had a negative impact on private investment. We recommend increasing financial openness and reinforcing the financial regulatory reforms to widen and deepen the financial system that can effectively support the mobilization of short, medium, and long-term finance for private sector investment.
Is there an Impact of Company Size and Industry on Corporate Culture? An Empirical Study from the Slovak Republic
Authors: Michulek Jakub , Krizanova Anna
Published: March 2024

Nowadays, corporate culture has become a strategic priority for companies. It is an important part of companies, as it indicates the overall trend in the behaviour of employees' work relations and processes. At the same time, corporate culture helps employees understand the company, identify with the company's goals, and become part of the company. Some authors consider corporate culture to be the main characteristic that distinguishes successful companies. If a company exhibits a high level of culture, its organizational performance also increases. Therefore, we consider corporate culture to be an integral part of every company. Data for the research was obtained through an online questionnaire. Subsequently, we used the statistical program IBM SPSS 25. To determine the existence of a relationship between company size and corporate culture and between industry and corporate culture, we used Pearson’s χ2 test for contingency tables, as the variables are qualitative. Subsequently, we evaluated the strength of the relationship based on Cramer's V. Subsequently, correspondence analysis was used to display the use of corporate culture for industries according to SK NACE and company size. Using Pearson's χ2 test, we found that there is a weak relationship between firm size and corporate culture, and a moderate relationship between industry and corporate culture. On the basis of correspondence analysis, we found, for example, that micro-enterprises use a culture of power, medium-sized enterprises use a culture of roles, and the electricity and gas supply industry uses a culture of performance. The added value of the article is the topicality of the research and the fact that the results relate to the Slovak Republic and can serve as a basis for further research. As a limitation of our research, we can consider that not all branches of the Slovak economy were represented according to SK NACE.

Authors: Lam Thuy Ngoc , Vuong Tuan Khanh , Tran Siem Thi
Published: March 2024

This empirical study aims to identify and evaluate the crucial factors that influence customer satisfaction and their intention to reuse a food ordering app (FOA) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. A data sample of 413 observations from customers who used the FOA was used to test hypotheses using a quantitative technique and a structural linear model. The results indicated that among the four key factors, performance expectancy, price value, and online reviews had direct and indirect effects on customers’ continued intention to use the FOA. By contrast, hedonic motivation only had an indirect effect. Satisfaction level was the mediating factor that affected customers’ continuance intention. This study provided insights into the online service and how the key factors affected customers’ satisfaction level towards the intention to reuse the FOA. When the management of the online providing service improves the key factors – performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, price value, and online reviews – they will improve the level of satisfaction towards the intention to reuse the FOA of customers in HCMC. The management of food companies should refer to this research model for restructuring and improving their business to satisfy the needs and wants of their target customers in the competitive market.

Authors: Tsapayi Enock Tinashe , Samuel Abneer E
Published: March 2024

This paper dissected the role of leaders in implementing equality, diversity and inclusion in UK higher education. Since most Higher Education Institutes are now monitored on their graduate outcomes, it is important that they are inclusive within planning curriculum design so as to give their students better chances and outcomes at completing their studies and being competitive in the global jobs market. The UK law and legislation worldwide is stepping up to value inclusion and now moving away from passive social exclusion. The research used ethnographical research in order to find out if equality, diversity and inclusion is being effectively implemented in curricula design. The results are based on one organisation in the Northwest of England using data collected over a 4-year period. A mixed method research design was also devised to use in-depth unstructured interviews to tutors of HND and degree programmes regarding curriculum design on their programmes. The findings show that there has been significant changes based on social and political influences, such that leaders are therefore working within standardised frameworks as a result of legislation. The primary research confirms that leaders have more understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion and it has the potential to self-sustain the UK higher education system.

Authors: Edirisinghe Edirisinghe Arachchige Dona Dilesha Divyanjali , Karunarathne Edirisinghe Arachchige Chaminda Prasanna
Published: March 2024

Businesses are constantly making productivity improvements to survive in the highly competitive marketplace. Bottlenecks have been identified as one of the main factors limiting the system performance of manufacturing firms. Thus, identifying bottlenecks in the production process is extremely important to increase productivity. Considering its importance, this case study was designed to identify causes for not meeting the tire target and determine the implications of bottlenecks in the tire manufacturing process. For this purpose, simulation analysis was carried out for the solid resilience tire-building process. Through the investigation, the cushion layer-building process was identified as the bottleneck. To validate the identified limitation, Line balancing and Pareto analysis were conducted. Analysis results confirmed the presence of a bottleneck in the cushion layer-building process. Further, to identify the root causes for not reaching the maximum tire target, Cause-and-Effect analysis and 5WHY analysis were adopted. The study revealed that inadequately maintained outdated machines and frequent power failures are the leading causes of not meeting the maximum production. By answering these issues, the target production can be increased, and the results showed the opportunity to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process by more than 95%.
Real-Time Implementation of a Hybrid ESC Approach for Maximising the Extracted Photovoltaic Power Under Partial Shading Conditions
Authors: Menadi Abdelkrim , Boukahil Fatima Zohra , Betka Achour
Published: March 2024

Solar energy, an available and renewable resource, can be efficiently transformed into electrical energy through the use of photovoltaic (PV) cells. The primary emphasis lies in the significance of maximising power output for economic considerations. In terms of optimising power generation, the implementation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques is imperative. A range of approaches, such as super twisting (ST) control and modified extremum seeking control (ESC-mod), are explored for their potential in enhancing the efficiency of power-generation systems. The novelty is a combination of these methods; the modified ESC has the role of finding the optimum voltage value of the global maximum power point (MPP) during the partial shading, while the super-twisting improves the performance of the system. The efficacy of the MPPT algorithm is assessed across diverse conditions, encompassing scenarios with load variations and fluctuating irradiances (uniform and non-uniform). The experimental setup involves essential components such as a PV generator, a boost converter and a resistive load. This comprehensive testing aims to evaluate the algorithm’s performance under varying circumstances, providing insights into its adaptability and effectiveness across different operational conditions. The system is modelled, simulated using Matlab–Simulink and implemented using a dSPACE 1104 card. Simulation results indicate that ST control is faster in reaching the permanent regime, but ESC-mod provides smoother performance in the permanent regime. The integration of both ST control and ESC-mod methods proves advantageous by diminishing the response time in the seeking process while concurrently ensuring a consistent and smooth operation in the permanent regime. This combined approach has undergone practical implementation and testing across diverse conditions, encompassing both optimal, healthy states and shaded environments. The results affirm the method’s ability to deliver efficient and stable performance across a spectrum of operating conditions.

Se resaltan las ventajas técnicas y económicas de los trenes de tratamiento de aguas residuales municipales con base en lagunas con microalgas, previo tratamiento con reactores anaerobios tipo UASB en comparación con las tecnologías convencionales más usadas en el ámbito municipal mexicano. Las microalgas absorben compuestos inorgánicos (macro y micronutrientes) y reducen la carga inorgánica y orgánica presente en las aguas residuales con la consecuente generación de biomasa. En ello radica la principal ventaja de esta tecnología sobre las otras convencionales mayormente utilizadas en el ámbito municipal mexicano. El tren de tratamiento con base en lagunas con microalgas asegura la no emisión de Gases de Efecto Invernadero (GEI) y es el único que posee potencial para la valorización de subproductos en el mercado a través de la cosecha y procesamiento de las microalgas, lo cual, en un ámbito regional adecuado, donde se puedan comercializar estos subproductos, pueden representar ingresos adicionales para la sustentación operativa de la PTAR pudiendo alcanzar o superar el bajo nivel de costo operativo de los sistemas lagunares convencionales. Los trenes de tratamiento utilizando un reactor UASB y lagunas con microalgas prácticamente tienen el mismo costo de inversión que los trenes con UASB y lagunas convencionales. Por otra parte, el costo de inversión de las lagunas convencionales sin reactor UASB es superior al tren con lagunas con microalgas. Aquellos municipios que cuenten con lagunas convencionales son candidatos para convertir o rehabilitar sus PTAR en sistemas lagunares con microalgas donde se aprovecharía al máximo la infraestructura ya existente lo cual conlleva la disminución del costo de inversión comparado con una instalación nueva. El sistema UASB con lagunas con microalgas es una buena opción por considerar para el tratamiento de aguas residuales municipales.

Published: March 2024

Purpose:  The objective of this research is to identify the most common factors in the literature influencing Business Intelligence Adoption (BIA) and present the main approaches, analysis methods and frameworks with model recently used in the study of BIA.
 
Theoretical framework:  Business intelligence (BI) has become a significant subject of study for both practitioners and researchers, due to its capabilities to apply data analytics and produce key information to support business decision-making. The literature indicates that most organizations have not succeeded in fully leveraging the benefits of BI, Furthermore, there is a limited availability of studies that investigate the human aspect. We also notice the absence of a relevant review of previous literature on the methods and approaches to analyse the BIA context, as well as the determination of adoption factors with a particular emphasis on human axis. The review aims to identify the most common factors in the literature for Business Intelligence Adoption (BIA) and present the main approaches, analysis methods and frameworks with model recently used in the study of BIA.
 
Methods: This study adopts a systematic literature review by selecting and analysing 32 relevant studies published between 2012 and 2022 from two reputable databases, Science Direct and Web of Science. Content analysis was employed to scrutinize the selected article and identify the factors and characteristics that influence the adoption of Business Intelligence.
 
Findings: The research unveiled over seventy TOE factors and twenty-four distinct human factors relevant to Business Intelligence Adoption. These findings help elucidate the multifaceted nature of BIA and the key elements that drive its adoption.
 
Practical implications: This study enhances the existing body of knowledge by providing a thorough analysis of methodologies and approaches used in BIA research, while also advancing the understanding of adoption factors, especially those related to the human dimension.
 
Originality/Value: The originality lies in its emphasis on the main approaches, analysis methods, and recently used models in the study of BIA. Furthermore, it enhances the field's originality and value by categorizing adoption factors within the TOE framework and giving special attention to human factors.

Method: This study employs a sociolegal strategy incorporating a green restorative justice framework to address environmental legal issues. After that, we did some conceptual research.
 
Results: Explores the possibility of green restorative justice as an additional approach to resolving environmental issues. There are time and money savings with the green restorative justice method. Another discovery is that when other stakeholders, including the government and the media, oversee these cases, implementing ecosystem greening for guilty corporations may be speedier and more beneficial for society.
 
Conclusion: Explores the possibility of green restorative justice as an additional approach to resolving environmental issues. More expedited, less expensive, and more equitable is the green restorative justice approach. Businesses that are to blame may have ecosystem greening implemented more quickly and to society's benefit with the help of this study to create environmentally friendly enforcement that lasts.
The Influence of the Phase Arrangement of ATZ Composites on Their Wear Rate Under Ball-on-Disc Tests

An alumina-toughened zirconia (ATZ) material, fabricated using a procedure consisting of the common sintering of two different zirconia powders, was tested using the ball-on-disc method in a temperature range between 20 and 400 °C. Tetragonal zirconia balls were used as a counterpart. Three different types of microstructure were designed, one consisting in separated alumina inclusions in zirconia matrix, the second one containing alumina inclusion in the amount close to the percolation point and another one which was a combination of two continuous phases, penetrating the whole volume of the composite. It was detected that at elevated temperatures all materials showed distinct decrease of measured wear rate. Composite with a low alumina content showed minimal wear rate at 300 °C and composites with higher amount of alumina were the most wear resistant at 400 °C. There are some evidences that this minimal wear rate is connected with a pseudoplastic behavior of a layer formed between co operating elements of tribological pair.
