Evaluating the Performance of Airborne and Ground Sensors for Applications in Precision Agriculture: Enhancing the Postprocessing State-of-the-Art Algorithm
Authors: Pavelka Karel , Raeva Paulina , Pavelka Karel
Published: October 2022

The main goals of the following paper are to evaluate the performance of two multispectral airborne sensors and compare their image data with in situ spectral measurements. Moreover, the authors aim to present an enhanced workflow for processing multitemporal image data using both commercial and open-source solutions. The research was provoked by the need for a relevant comparison between airborne and ground sensors for vegetation analysis and monitoring. The research team used an eBee fixed-wing platform and the multiSPEC 4c and Sequoia sensors. The authors carried out field measurements using a handheld spectrometer by Trimble—GreenSeeker. There were two flight campaigns which took place near the village of Tuhan in the Czech Republic. The results from the first campaign were discouraging, showing less possibility in the correlation between the aerial and field data. The second campaign resulted in a very high percentage of correlation between both types of data. The researchers present the image processing steps and their enhanced photogrammetric workflow for multitemporal data which helps experts and nonprofessionals to reduce their processing time.
A Multi-Purpose Shallow Convolutional Neural Network for Chart Images
Authors: Bajić Filip , Orel Ognjen , Habijan Marija
Published: October 2022

Charts are often used for the graphical representation of tabular data. Due to their vast expansion in various fields, it is necessary to develop computer algorithms that can easily retrieve and process information from chart images in a helpful way. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have succeeded in various image processing and classification tasks. Nevertheless, the success of training neural networks in terms of result accuracy and computational requirements requires careful construction of the network layers’ and networks’ parameters. We propose a novel Shallow Convolutional Neural Network (SCNN) architecture for chart-type classification and image generation. We validate the proposed novel network by using it in three different models. The first use case is a traditional SCNN classifier where the model achieves average classification accuracy of 97.14%. The second use case consists of two previously introduced SCNN-based models in parallel, with the same configuration, shared weights, and parameters mirrored and updated in both models. The model achieves average classification accuracy of 100%. The third proposed use case consists of two distinct models, a generator and a discriminator, which are both trained simultaneously using an adversarial process. The generated chart images are plausible to the originals. Extensive experimental analysis end evaluation is provided for the classification task of seven chart classes. The results show that the proposed SCNN is a powerful tool for chart image classification and generation, comparable with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) but with higher efficiency, reduced computational time, and space complexity.

Published: October 2022

The present study aimed to determine which of the neuromuscular status (NMS) monitoring tests (1: Counter-movement jump, CMJ; 2: back squat with additional load) is the most sensitive and effective for evaluating the state of fatigue in futsal players during the preseason. Seventeen professional futsal players were recruited for this study (age: 23.07 ± 6.76 years; height: 1.75 ± 0.06 m; body mass: 75.47 ± 7.47 kg; playing experience in elite: 5.38 ± 2.03 years). All of them were evaluated during the preseason phase in two tests (CMJ and back squat with additional load) before and after each training session (pre- vs. post-test). A jump platform was used to extract jump height during CMJ, while a linear position transducer was used to extract mean velocity (MV) and mean propulsive velocity (MPV) during the back squat exercise. Significant differences were obtained for intra-subject analysis for MV and MPV in loaded back squat exercise (p < 0.001), finding lower values during the post-test. In conclusion, the monitoring of NMS through the back squat provides greater sensitivity and objectivity in comparison with CMJ, due to a more direct neuromuscular extrapolation to the physical demands of futsal.
Local Residents Becoming Local Tourists: Value Co-Creation in Chinese Wetland Parks during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Zhu Yaodong , Zaidin Norzaidahwati , Pu Yibei
Published: October 2022

Despite their ecological value, wetland parks can be expensive to preserve and maintain, so local governments endeavor to design financially sustainable models by exploiting the ecotourism value of wetland parks. This trend has been facilitated by telecommunication technologies that enable value co-creation. Unlike previous studies that primarily assume tourists to be outsiders far from home, this study addresses a unique situation: travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic generated a unique ecotourism market for local residents. This study responds to the above issue by examining the factors responsible for local tourists’ value co-creation intention. Specifically, we drew on the theory of planned behavior to develop an extended model to address the research objective. The hypothesized model was empirically tested using an online survey of 386 local tourists who traveled to a wetland park in the Liangping district of Chongqing, China. Our results suggest that social norms, destination awareness, experience expectations, and facilitating conditions could affect local tourists’ attitudes, which further influences local customers’ value co-creation intention. Moreover, social norms, destination awareness, and experience expectations could affect local tourists’ perceived value of a wetland park, thus further influencing local customers’ value co-creation intention. In doing so, we made interesting insights and implications for ecotourism at a local level. Drawing on our survey in a specific wetland park, we highlight how local tourists’ attitude and perceived value positively affect their value co-creation intention and identify one more possible source of destination awareness: friends’ sharing of destination information and experience through social media. Practically, we suggest local tourism to offset the maintenance costs of wetland parks during the COVID-19 pandemic. That requires leveraging social norms and understanding residents’ expectations, in addition to improving infrastructure.
Climate Change and Food Security in the Northern and Eastern African Regions: A Panel Data Analysis
Authors: Fusco Giulio
Published: October 2022

The problem of food insecurity is growing across the world, in particular in developing countries. Due to their economic structure, climate change represents one of the major threats for food security levels in African countries. The object of this work was to assess the impact of climate change on the level of food security in the North and East African countries, using a panel data analysis for the period 2000–2012. Average protein supply and average dietary energy supply adequacy were the two different indicators of food security we identified as most appropriate. Indeed, both indicators can provide information concerning the amount and the nutritional value of food supply. The determinants of food security are expressed as a function of rainfall, temperature, land area under cereal production, size of population and GDP. Findings showed that food security in the Northern and Eastern African countries is adversely affected by climate change. Policy makers need to promote those actions capable of mitigating global warming and reducing its economic impact.
Transition of Urban Morphology in the Mountainous Areas Since Early-Modern Times from the Perspective of Urban Historic Landscape—A GIS Tools and Historical Map Translation Approach
Authors: Shen Danjie , Dong Shujing
Published: October 2022

Regenerating cities must blend modernization and heritage. Both urban morphology and Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) highlight historical processes and may assist in regeneration. Using Chongqing as the study example may further understand mountain cities, which are prevalent worldwide but seldom examined in morphology research. This study explores and organizes the historical modernization of Chongqing’s parent city from early-modern times to the present day using a universal approach established in this research developed by the HUL perspective and research framework, Geographic information system (GIS), Depthmap tool, and historical map translation method. Large-scale modernization occurred prior to the 1980s, followed by more modest rehabilitation projects. The whole procedure is described by the phrase “Construction first, then planning, then transformation,” which entails a “free growth” block structure at the outset, along with planning control. The study contributes the following: (1) Establishing a theoretical framework and research technique for the universal city based on historical sources and modern instruments; (2) Chongqing’s future sustainable development and historical preservation depend in large part on figuring out the city’s complicated modernization history; (3) The study of mountain cities may benefit from understanding the geographical development and spatial dynamic layering of Chongqing. (4) This study bridges the gap in time by going beyond the early modern period covered by the previous ones and into the post-statehood era (1949–2022).

Authors: Salhein Khaled , Kobus C. J. , Zohdy Mohamed
Published: October 2022

Foresight of geothermal energy installation is valuable for energy decision-makers, allowing them to readily identify new capacity units, improve existing energy policies and plans, expand future infrastructure, and fulfill consumer load needs. Therefore, in this paper, an improved grey prediction model (IGM (1,1)) was applied to perform the annual geothermal energy installation capacity prediction for the top 10 countries based on installed power generation capacity evaluated at the end of 2021, namely the United States, Indonesia, Philippines, Turkey, New Zealand, Mexico, Italy, Kenya, Iceland, and Japan, for the next nine years for the period from 2022 through 2030. These data can be used by future researchers in the field. Separately, datasets from 2000 to 2021 were collected for each country’s geothermal energy installation capacity to build a model which can accurately predict the annually geothermal energy installation capacity by 2030. The IGM (1,1) model used a small dataset of 22 data points, with one point denoting one year (i.e., 22 years), to predict the capacity of geothermal energy installations for the next nine years. Following that, the model was implemented for each dataset in MATLAB, where appropriate, and the model accuracy was evaluated. Ten separate geothermal energy installation capacity datasets were used to validate the improved model, and these datasets further demonstrated the overall improved model’s accuracy. The results prove that the prediction accuracy of the IGM (1,1) model outperforms the benchmark conventional GM (1,1) model, thereby enhancing the overall accuracy of the GM (1,1) model. The IGM (1,1) model ensures error reduction, suggesting that it is an effective and promising tool for accurate short-term prediction. The results reveal the 2030 geothermal energy installation capacity rankings.

Authors: Inoue Yusuke , Itoh Hiroyasu , Shiibashi Nao , Sasa Ryosuke , Mitsui Kohei
Published: October 2022

Estimation of the standard radiation dose at each imaging facility is required for radiation dose management, including establishment and utilization of the diagnostic reference levels. We investigated methods to estimate the standard dose for pediatric brain computed tomography (CT) using a small number of data. From 980 pediatric brain CT examinations, 25, 50, and 100 examinations were randomly extracted to create small, medium, and large datasets, respectively. The standard dose was estimated by applying grouping and curve-fitting methods for 20 datasets of each sample size. For the grouping method, data were divided into groups according to age or body weight, and the standard dose was defined as a median value in each group. For the curve-fitting methods, logarithmic, power, and bilinear functions were fitted to plots of radiation dose against age or weight, and the standard dose was calculated at the designated age or weight using the derived equation. When the sample size was smaller, the random variations of the estimated standard dose were larger. Better estimation of the standard dose was achieved with the curve-fitting methods than with the grouping method. Power fitting appeared to be more effective than logarithmic and bilinear fittings for suppressing random variation. Determination of the standard dose for pediatric brain CT by the curve-fitting method is recommended to improve radiation dose optimization at facilities performing the imaging procedure infrequently.

Authors: Mussa Zainab Haider , Al-Qaim Fouad Fadhil , Jawad Ali H. , Scholz Miklas , Yaseen Zaher Mundher
Published: October 2022

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (concentration <µg/L) are globally acknowledged as hazardous emerging pollutants that pass via various routes in the environment and ultimately enter aquatic food chains. In this context, the article reviews the occurrence, transport, fate, and electrochemical removal of some selected NSAIDs (diclofenac (DIC), ketoprofen (KTP), ibuprofen (IBU), and naproxen (NPX)) using carbon-based anodes in the aquatic environment. However, no specific protocol has been developed to date, and various approaches have been adopted for the sampling and elimination processes of NSAIDs from wastewater samples. The mean concentration of selected NSAIDs from different countries varies considerably, ranging between 3992–27,061 µg/L (influent wastewater) and 1208–7943 µg/L (effluent wastewater). An assessment of NSAIDs removal efficiency across different treatment stages in various wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been performed. Overall, NSAIDs removal efficiency in wastewater treatment plants has been reported to be around 4–89%, 8–100%, 16–100%, and 17–98% for DIC, KTP, NPX, and IBU, respectively. A microbiological reactor (MBR) has been proclaimed to be the most reliable treatment technique for NSAIDs removal (complete removal). Chlorination (81–95%) followed by conventional mechanical biological treatment (CMBT) (94–98%) treatment has been demonstrated to be the most efficient in removing NSAIDs. Further, the present review explains that the electrochemical oxidation process is an alternative process for the treatment of NSAIDs using a carbon-based anode. Different carbon-based carbon anodes have been searched for electrochemical removal of selected NSAIDs. However, boron-doped diamond and graphite have presented reliable applications for the complete removal of NSAIDs from wastewater samples or their aqueous solution.
Calcified Granulomatous Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia in a Toddler with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency—A Case Report
Authors: Zennaro Floriana , Giurici Nagua , Maximova Natalia
Published: October 2022

Pneumocysis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a type of pneumonia originating from the fungus Pneumocystis jiroveci and is a major cause of serious pneumonia in immunocompromised conditions. PJP typically appears as bilateral diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. Granulomatous PJP is an uncommon form of pneumocystis infection, occurring in only 3% to 5% of patients. Calcification is exceptional. We present a 9-month-old boy affected by Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) that has been diagnosed at the age of 7 months following a lung Pneumocystis jirovecii infection. He underwent a routine total-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The MRI showed significant alterations of the pulmonary parenchyma; hence, a computer tomography of the lung was performed showing the presence of 11 calcified granulomatous nodules. We report a unique case of calcified granulomatous PJP in a toddler affected by SCID. Awareness of this rare yet possible presentation in patients with SCID is important given the potential clinical implications when managing a patient undergoing HSCT and it further enhances the importance of advanced radiologic imaging prior to HSCT.

Published: October 2022

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii)-calcoaceticus complex (CRAb-cc) is an important pathogen causing nosocomial infections worldwide; however, molecular epidemiology of the A. baumannii-calcoaceticus complex in Indonesian hospitals is scarce. This study aimed to determine the clonal relatedness of CRAb-cc in two tertiary care hospitals in Malang and Manado in Indonesia. The CRAb-cc isolates from routine clinical cultures in two tertiary care hospitals in Malang and Manado were identified using the Vitek2® system (bioMérieux, Lyon, France). Multi-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) typing, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), clonal complex (CC), and phylogenetic tree analysis were conducted for a subset of isolates. Seventy-three CRAb-cc isolates were collected. The CRAb-cc isolates were frequently found among lower-respiratory-tract specimens. We detected the MLVA type (MT) 1, MT3, and MT4 CRAB-cc isolates belonging to the sequence type (ST) 642, and CC1 was the predominant clone in this study. In conclusion, we identified the clonal relatedness of A. baumannii-calcoaceticus complex isolates in two tertiary care hospitals in Malang and Manado in Indonesia. Further study is required to investigate the clinical importance and distribution of ST642 in Indonesian hospitals for developing prevention and control measures.

Authors: Yu Yuanyuan , Liu Yidian , Yao Lan , Shen Yanheng , Sun Qin , Sha Wei
Published: October 2022

Objectives The value of QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) in the diagnosis of TB varies by population, comorbidities, and other factors. In this study, we aimed to investigate factors that influence false-negative results of QFT-GIT test in the diagnosis of TB as well as the impact of different cutoffs on the diagnostic value. Methods A total of 3562 patients who underwent QFT-GIT tests at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital were enrolled retrospectively between May 2016 and May 2017. False-negative and false-positive results were analyzed using different clinical stratifications. The optimal cutoff values were established under different clinical conditions. Results Positive QFT-GIT results greatly shortened the time taken to diagnose smear-negative TB. The factors of age, smear and culture results, site of TB, comorbidity with tumors, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly correlated with false-negative QFT-GIT results (p < 0.05). Personalized cutoff values were established according to different influencing factors. The results showed high consistency between the smear-negative and total populations. Conclusion QFT-GIT can facilitate the early diagnosis of smear-negative TB. The diagnostic performance of the QFT-GIT test in the diagnosis of active TB was shown to be affected by many clinical factors. Personalized cutoff values may have superior value in the identification of active tuberculosis under different conditions.

The standard of care for cutaneous leishmaniasis includes the intramuscular/intravenous administration of pentavalent antimonials that are toxic and poorly tolerated. Primary health care usually lacks trained health staff for the diagnosis and treatment of leishmaniasis in Cochabamba Bolivia. Taking these aspects into account, a Bolivian consortium set out to explore the intralesional administration of meglumine antimoniate to treat cutaneous leishmaniasis during primary care under programmatic conditions. A four-step strategy consisting of clinical training for intralesional treatment and the promotion and periodic follow-up of health staff was carried out. The training process was applied in situ to personnel of nine primary health care centres. The intralesional treatment was applied five times every other day. Clinical follow-up after six-months of treatment showed a 77% healing proportion and 5% of therapeutic failure among 152 enrolled patients. The drug volume used in the intralesional procedure was on average 1.7 mL/ulcer treated. In conclusion, the strategy used was successful and effective, accomplishing a healing proportion similar to the long standardized treatment with a reduced time of administration, no severe side effects, and it is feasible to conduct by trained health staff. Our study supports the current PAHO/WHO recommendation for the intralesional administration of pentavalent antimonials for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Geographical Pattern Evolution of Health Resources in China: Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Spatial Mismatch
Authors: Zhou Yong , Zhao Kaixu , Han Junling , Zhao Sidong , Cao Jingyuan
Published: October 2022

(1) Background: The rational allocation of limited medical resources is the premise of safeguarding the public health. Especially since the outbreak of COVID-19, the evolution dynamics and spatial mismatch of medical resources have been a focal and frontier issue in academic discussions. (2) Methods: Based on the competitive state model and spatial mismatch index, this paper uses GIS and Geodetector spatial analysis methods and three typical indicators of hospitals, doctors, and beds to conduct an empirical study on the evolutionary characteristics and degree of mismatch in the geographic pattern of health resources in China from 2010 to 2020 (the data are from official publications issued by the National Bureau of statistics in China), in two dimensions of resource supply (economic carrying capacity) and demand (potential demand or need of residents). (3) Results: The spatial pattern of health resources at the provincial level in China has been firmly established for a long time, and the children and elderly population, health care government investment, and service industry added value are the key factors influencing the geographical distribution of health resources. The interaction between the different influence factors is dominated by bifactor enhancement, and about 30–40% of the factor pairs are in a nonlinear enhancement relationship. Hospital, doctor, and bed evolution trends and the magnitude and speed of their changes vary widely in spatial differentiation, but all are characterized by a high level of geographic agglomeration, heterogeneity, and gradient. Dynamic matching is the mainstream of development, while the geographical distribution of negative and positive mismatch shows strong spatial agglomeration and weak spatial autocorrelation. The cold and hot spots with evolution trend and space mismatch are highly clustered, shaping a center-periphery or gradient-varying spatial structure. (4) Conclusions: Despite the variability in the results of the analyses by different dimensions and indicators, the mismatch of health resources in China should not be ignored. According to the mismatch types and change trend, and following the geographic differentiation and spatial agglomeration patterns, this paper constructs a policy design framework of “regionalized governance-classified management”, in line with the concept of spatial adaptation and spatial justice, in order to provide a decision making basis for the government to optimize the allocation of health resources and carry out health spatial planning.
Discussion questions about using the digital ruble
Authors: Kozenko Yurii A.
Published: October 2022

The Concept of the digital ruble proposed by the Bank of Russia does not properly reflect the prospects for its use for tax purposes. The ongoing attempt to bring the functions of the digital ruble in line with the historically established requirements for the state monetary system is designed to harmonize the entry of digital means of payment into the tax, budget, insurance and pension systems. For more effective control over transactions carried out using the digital ruble, it is proposed to initially provide access to accounting registers to controlling structures and, if possible, eliminate intermediaries burdening the payment system.

This article examines the essence of tax planning and forecasting, and also substantiates the need to apply a risk-based approach in the tax sphere, which contributes to achieving an appropriate level of reliability and quality of tax planning and tax forecasting, improving the efficiency of the tax system and ensuring the tax security of the state.
Scaling up capital in the small business and medium-sized businesses through transactions mergers and acquisitions
Authors: Sidorkin Dmitrii V. , Latkina Ekaterina A.
Published: October 2022

The Russian capital market is a system that has considerable flexibility in the conditions of favorable circumstances of capital mobilization through the issuance of shares and the use of equity capital as a means of activating the attraction of credit working capital in the development of the domestic debt capital market. This together determines the need to increase the requirements for financial management, including at the level of small and medium-sized businesses. Among the circumstances contributing to this trend, it is worth highlighting, first of all, the increase in the cost of attracting credit capital through the monetary mechanism regulated by the Bank of Russia by targeting inflation to stabilize the ruble, unemployment, social differentiation and other socio-economic factors that determine the unstable state of the Russian economy. The system-forming problems of the development of financial instruments for domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) complicate the possibilities of developing and using compensatory mechanisms for hedging risks, and therefore ensuring the sustainable development of corporate governance as a closed system. The success of corporate governance and the functioning of SMEs reflects the effectiveness of the Russian economy as a whole. The volatility of the capital market has a significant impact on SMEs. One of the most effective elements of stabilizing the state of economic entities is scaling through mergers and acquisitions. The transformation of monetary capital into equity capital, and then into industrial capital of SMEs is a financial component of scaling up in the field of small and medium-sized businesses by reducing the cost of goods and services produced, as well as expanding sales markets.

Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the changes that have occurred in the dynamics of the volume, composition and structure of foreign economic activity of Russian industrial companies during the spread of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), which caused a serious crisis in the global economy. The study showed that during the covid restrictions, Russia's export volumes decreased significantly, but import volumes did not show sharp fluctuations. The study of the structure of Russian exports showed that mineral resources remained the main commodity position during the pandemic, but their share has significantly decreased. The structure of Russia's imports, according to the study, practically did not change during the crisis due to the pandemic, and in 2021 its volumes increased significantly. The author's forecast assessment of the dynamics of foreign economic activity of Russian industrial companies up to 2030 is presented, which showed the heterogeneity of the development of foreign economic relations of the country with other states in subsequent periods. However, if Russia's trade cooperation is established, it is possible to achieve high growth rates of foreign economic activity of Russian industrial companies.

Based on the obtained indicators, a three-dimensional matrix of stock risks was constructed, with the help of which an investor who does not have high qualifications in finance can assess the degree of reliability of a particular security in order to make an informed decision on its inclusion in the investment portfolio.
Derivative financial instruments: options in the accounting of non-financial organizations
Authors: Kanapinova Saule S. , Plotnikova Olesya V.
Published: October 2022

The problems of accounting for derivative financial instruments, in particular, options, due to their complexity and uncertainty in the legislative and regulatory acts of the Russian Federation for accounting in non-financial organizations, are practically not considered, while a number of regulations are devoted to accounting for derivative financial instruments by non-credit financial organizations. In the article, the authors considered it necessary to raise the issue and determine approaches to solving the problem of reflecting transactions with options in the accounting of non-financial organizations. In solving this issue, the authors proceeded from the concept of accounting for contractual obligations, which requires the reflection of the underlying asset in an unchanged fair value measurement, and when market conditions change, it is reflected through other comprehensive income of a non-financial organization.

À propos de Démosthène, Sur les forfaitures de l’ambassade, § 35 : où l’on découvre qu’une conséquence peut en cacher une autre
Authors: Daix David-Artur
Published: October 2022

Editors and translators of Demosthenes’ On the False Embassy treat the consecutive clause in § 35 as an independent sentence : there is a period before it, the conjunction ὥστε is translated as a coordinating conjunction (and is written Ὥστε with a capital letter by French editors), and the mood used in the translations is the indicative, denoting an actual result at a specific time. However, in the manuscripts, in that consecutive clause, ὥστε is used with the infinitive and the negative particle μή, so that that clause should be included in the preceding sentence instead of being separated from it by a period and that it should be translated as conveying a logical result rather than a real one. Those issues deserve more scrutiny, in order to determine whether the Greek text and its translation should be corrected.

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is a branch of science and application that studies how to prevent accidents in the workplace. One of the companies closely related to this program is PT. Swabina Gatra. Where this company is engaged in the manufacturing business in the form of "Packaged Drinking Water (AMDK)" with the brand "SWA". The problem that often occurs in this company is that the number of work accidents is still quite high. From the results of the study, the highest accident rate (incidence rate) occurred in 2018 with a figure of 5.67% for the last five years. Thus the proposed improvement that can be given using the 55 method in the kaizen concept is Seiri (Concise/Sorting) that is by applying sorting to items that are no longer used to make it easier to search when they will be reused. Seiton (Neat/Arrangement) that is by arranging things according to their place so that they are not scattered and look neat. Seiso (Cleaning/Cleaning) is by implementing a routine cleaning schedule for workers at each work station. Seiketsu (Treatment/Consolidation) is by applying employee discipline at work and implementing the appropriate Kaizen system. Shitsuke (Diligent / Refraining) is by enabling employees to consult when working with supervisors and the company should have a periodic schedule to conduct 5S/5R audits.

Inventory control is a main activity for managing the amount of raw material inventory of the industry production process. PT. Pertamina RU II Dumai which engaged in oil and gas business activities have used Crude Oil as the major raw material in the fuel production process. Based on preliminary observation, it was found that the demand for avtur fuel was unstable during the period 2019-2020, decreasing to 54% whereas diesel fuel increasing to 17%. Consequently, this has an impact on the number of Crude Oil orders and also the inventory management. This study aims to determine the optimal amount of inventory, safety stock, the reorder point, and the ratio analysis of the amount raw material used during the era before and after pandemic covid-19 situation 2019 to 2020. Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) approach is proposed to place orders in the amounts that best fit its needs. The results of this study indicate that the number of purchases of raw materials using the EOQ method in 2019 and 2020 amounted to 3,525,563,777 BBL and 2,427,392.443 BBL. Total safety stock in 2019 was 10,031,979.39 BBL, while in 2020 it was 8,733,637.21 BBL. The number of reorder points in 2019 was 3,035,881,925 BBL and in 2020 it was 2,321,768,481 BBL. Regarding to this economic purchase of raw material quantity, it is found that the order size of Crude Oil decreased around 31.1% after the pandemic hit.

Revitalization of brownfields in shrinking cites exemplified by the urban farm in Dessau a Green Innovation area as a part of the BMBF project GIAGEM
Authors: Lippert Antonia , Pallagst Karina , Hammer Patricia
Published: October 2022

This bachelor thesis is about the revitalization of urban brownfields in shrinking cities. The project "Urban Farm Dessau" is used throughout the thesis as an example.
Different social processes, such as structural change and demographic change, lead to changed conditions in cities. One consequence of this is that shrinking processes are continuing and this leads to the creation of brownfields, which are often not used again. This process of urban sprawl often results in the decline of districts or entire cities.
In the project GIAGEM "The Role of Green Innovation Areas in Revitalizing German and Mexican Cities" of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern and the University of Guadalajara, alternative solutions for the revitalization of such brownfields are being developed, which at the same time meet bio-economic requirements. Various sustainable and efficient uses are analysed and evaluated on the basis of example projects and their transferability to other cities is specified.
First of all, the scientific framework conditions are elaborated in this thesis. For this purpose, the key words "Brownfields", "Revitalization" and "Urban Farming" will be defined and classified.
The project GIAGEM will be presented in more detail in order to establish the connection to the chosen example project "Urban Farm Dessau".
The project "Urban Farm Dessau", which was developed in the city of Dessau-Roßlau, in the district Am Leipziger Tor in Sachsen-Anhalt, will be analysed in more detail by means of a preliminary study and with the help of an area reference. The project is finally evaluated by means of a criteria grid. The results of the evaluation form the basis for recommendations for action, which represent a possibility of transferability of this project to other cities and locations.
Finally, a conclusion about the project is given, summarizing the knowledge gained from the analysed chapters and evaluating whether the Urban Farm is a suitable form of sustainable brownfield revitalization and an innovative approach for sustainable urban development.

The depletion of natural resources, the increase in environmental problems and land use - the advancing urbanization brings with it a series of challenges that must be solved by sustainable and innovative approaches. In this context, it is particularly important to make use of existing potential in spatial and environmental planning, in order to guarantee sustainable and socially responsible urban development in the future.
In particular, the revitalization of brownfields as Green Innovation Areas offers potential for the sustainable use of former industrial sites and for strengthening bio-economic management. Urban gardening is to be understood as a form for the use of inner-city brownfields as Green Innovation Areas, which can significantly contribute to a sustainable urban development. The urban gardening project Kölner Neuland serves as an example to show how a part of a 44,000 m² industrial brownfield in Cologne's Bayenthal district was revitalized by an urban garden.
First, there will be an overview of the basic framework conditions based on the evaluation of existing technical literature. Subsequently, the topic of urban gardening will be treated as a form of Green Innovation Areas. In this context, it is also explained how urban gardening can promote a more sustainable and socially just urban development.
In order to understand and evaluate the background of the urban gardening project Kölner Neuland, a detailed analysis of the project is required. For this reason, the historical course, financial aspects, current marketing measures as well as goals and visions of Kölner Neuland are explained after an overall view of the city.
On the basis of the gained and evaluated insights of an expert interview, the urban gardening project Kölner Neuland will be examined for its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It was found that the urban garden Kölner Neuland is to be evaluated quite positively however, some aspects show the need for action.
As a result of this work, recommendations for the future development of the urban gardening project Kölner Neuland are formulated. A distinction can be made between recommendations for action in the areas of financing, public perception, and control. In addition, the central conditions for a successful revitalization of inner-city brownfields through urban gardening are defined.
