Published: June 2023

Companies in the globalized world use outsourcing as a production model, opting for subcontracting from companies specialized in different areas of work. In this context, the objective of this study is to determine the relationship between outsourcing as a productive model and customer loyalty of a financial company, for which the type of applied research and descriptive-correlational design were used. The survey questionnaire was applied to collect data on the variables and dimensions. Results, it was found that the relationship between outsourcing and Customer loyalty in a financial company is considerable, with a correlation coefficient τ = 0.628 and p = 0.000, the analysis between the flexibility and information dimensions was moderate τ = 0.412 and p = 0.000, between cost savings and moderate internal marketing τ = 0.487 and p = 0.000, and between professionalism and considerable communication τ = 0.535 and p = 0.000, between quality of service and considerable customer experience τ = 0.696 and p=0.000. With these results it is concluded that outsourcing as a productive model of the company is moderately related to customer loyalty. Therefore, the financial institution must externalize the specific responsibility to specialized external companies.

Bajo una metodología cualitativa, donde se realizó una búsqueda de información en diversas fuentes de información con el propósito de hacer un análisis y revisión bibliográfica con el firme propósito de establecer como objetivo fundamental, un análisis reflexivo del valor que representa la responsabilidad social, la gestión humana y el trabajo decente. El objetivo del documento, es abordar el valor que representa la responsabilidad social para posteriormente pasar a analizar la gestión humana socialmente responsable y culminar con la importancia que presenta el trabajo decente para la dignidad humana. Se concluye que las organizaciones desde los procesos de la gestión humana están llamadas a garantizar la existencia de un trabajo decente como respuesta a su compromiso social, sin importar el color de piel, credo religioso, ideología política, origen o gusto sexual, toda vez que lo que en realidad debe importar, es la persona solamente por el hecho de ser parte de una sociedad que debe estar en la búsqueda de la felicidad, la paz y la igualdad.
La gobernanza territorial como capital sinérgico en el desarrollo de sistemas productivos locales latinoamericanos
Authors: Pokolenko Ana Alicia
Published: June 2023

A partir del reconocimiento de los desafíos que han llevado a un cambio paradigmático en la gestión estratégica del desarrollo territorial y los supuestos teóricos generados en torno a ello, el presente estudio profundiza en la comprensión de la gobernanza territorial en contextos latinoamericanos, mediante el análisis de los capitales intangibles presentes en sistemas productivos locales. Se parte de la hipótesis de que una cohesión positiva de estos capitales en un esquema de gobernanza permite activar procesos de desarrollo en el sistema.
Tras una investigación crítica y analítica de los postulados teóricos y las experiencias disponibles, se concluyó que la gobernanza, como modelo de gestión, resulta clave para la estabilización de los capitales intangibles en sistemas productivos complejos como los latinoamericanos. La activación del capital sinérgico, en estos sistemas, se ve obstaculizada por constantes “cortocircuitos”, por lo que el fortalecimiento de estos capitales mediante una gobernanza colaborativa resulta fundamental para mejorar la coordinación y la transparencia en la toma de decisiones y generar, así, procesos de desarrollo territorial.

La investigación contextualiza las políticas de enajenación de los bienes inmuebles afectados al Ministerio de Defensa español y argumenta las oportunidades e inercias para llevar a cabo una efectiva reutilización de dichos bienes. El trabajo, pone énfasis en los resultados de los procesos de enajenación que paulatinamente se han ido produciendo en el país y que, de algún modo, pueden ser reproducibles en otros contextos internacionales a través de la correspondiente legislación e interés inmobiliario del organismo. Partiendo del contexto legal español se analizan dos casos de estudios, sobre los que abordar y caracterizar las principales características de los procesos de reutilización, demostrando un enfoque prevalentemente especulativo por parte del Ministerio de Defensa a la hora de plantear las operaciones de enajenación de estos bienes.
La Estrategia de Desarrollo Urbano Sostenible e Integrado (EDUSI) de Avilés (Asturias): análisis y diagnóstico de un instrumento para la ciudad en reconversión
Authors: Suárez-Rodríguez Alfonso , Tomé-Fernández Sergio
Published: June 2023

En las últimas décadas, la Unión Europea desarrolla distintas iniciativas para adaptar sus ciudades a los criterios del desarrollo sostenible. Las Estrategias de Desarrollo Urbano Sostenible e Integrado (EDUSI) son uno de los más recientes instrumentos concebidos para tal fin, de cuya financiación se han beneficiado numerosas urbes españolas. Este artículo analiza la Estrategia presentada por Avilés, ciudad afectada por el declive generalizado a raíz de la reconversión industrial. La EDUSI busca superar los problemas heredados de tal proceso, activar su potencialidad como espacio productivo y contener el descenso demográfico. No obstante, el estudio constata cierta falta de profundidad en los contenidos auspiciada por un análisis territorial insuficiente y las propias limitaciones del instrumento, que resulta en una herramienta de limitado impacto para el desarrollo integral de la villa.

Authors: Jain Satendra Kumar , Gupta Anil Kumar
Published: June 2023

Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is a valuable factor in the hydrological process and its estimation is a sophisticated and nonlinear problem. In this study, the utility of multilayer perceptron regression is investigated to estimate ETo of Jodhpur city, India which has a hot arid climate. Four different multilayer perceptron regression-based models are created and compared in this study. Multilayer perceptron regression is a popular tool used to predict the results of sophisticated problems. Each created model has a different architecture, in which the size (neurons) of the input and hidden layers is decided by the maximal correlation relationship between meteorological attributes and observed ETo using the Food Agriculture Organization Penman-Monteith method (FAO-PM56). This study found that model with meteorology inputs (namely both high and low temperatures, solar radiation, wind speed at 2 m, and humidity) and nine neurons at the hidden layer achieved high predictive accuracy with mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.08, mean squared error (MSE) of 0.01, root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.10, Pearson correlation (r) of 0.99, and coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.99. The finding of this study is that the multilayer perceptron regression-based models with at least three meteorological inputs (temperature, solar radiation, and wind speed) can effectively utilize to estimate ETo and may receive attention from agriculturists, engineers, and researchers for irrigation scheduling, water resource handling, crop production enhancement, draught area prediction, etc.

Realtime Detection of Table Objects and Text Areas for OCR Preprocessing
Authors: Choi Hangseo , Jeong Jongpil
Published: June 2023

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that automatically detects, recognizes, and digitally converts text into images. OCR has a variety of uses, including reducing human error when viewing and typing documents and helping people work more efficiently with documents. It can increase efficiency and save money by eliminating the need to manually type text, especially when scanning documents or digitizing images. OCR is divided into text object detection and text recognition in an image, and preprocessing techniques are used during the original document imaging process to increase the accuracy of OCR results. There are various preprocessing techniques. They are generally classified into image enhancement, binarization techniques, text alignment and correction, and segmentation techniques. In this paper, we propose a special-purpose preprocessing technique and application called Table Area Detection. Recently, table detection using deep learning has been actively researched, and the research results are helping to improve the performance of table recognition technology. Table detection will become an important preprocessing technology for text extraction and analysis in various documents, and it requires a lot of research and accuracy. While many previous studies have focused on improving the accuracy of OCR algorithms through various techniques, this study proposes a method to discover and exclude false positives by introducing a factor called Table Area Detection.

Published: June 2023

The flows of capital are the deposits of the enterprises or private individuals in the country: they may be defined as the flow of finance meant for the enterprises or private persons in another country for the purposes such as the investments or commercial activity. Nowadays, in the conditions, in which the free trade zones are formed, the international flows of capital are of great importance for those with large savings and commercial enterprise for more effective use of its assets. It is widely believed that the foreign investments are profitable for the economic growth of the countries. The increase in the international investments and capital flows in any country contributes to the correction of the balance of payments and the external trade deficit due to the growth of the overall productivity of a country. The quality of legal defense provided for the foreign investors, and the level of efficiency of law enforcement are the key political issues for the promotion of higher levels of portfolio investments of foreign capital. The measures for the safety of investors, particularly those who related to the foreign investments are the essential crossed aspect specifying the international portfolio investments in the shares. The flows of capital impact the economy of the countries on macro and micro levels. Though the macroeconomic indexes reflect the general parameters, their monitoring and evaluation are extremely significant in economic context. As the investments are estimated in the view of future expectations, it is known that when speaking on the investment prospects of a country, not only social-economic conditions, but political stability are essential as well.

Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry, Ismayilova P.Sh.
Published: June 2023

The great majority of currently developed fields in the world are of gas-condensate type. These fields differ from oil and gas ones with their numerous physical-chemical properties. Thus, the duration of the exploitation impacts the development process. Essentially, it is associated with the drop of formation pressure, which has an effect on the process of gas-condensate delivery. The reliable definition of the time of pressure drop allows regulating the development process, which is topical in the field practice.
The characteristics and geodynamic mechanisms of formation of traps in Middle Caspian basin
Authors:   SOCAR, Bagirov E.B.
Published: June 2023

The structures of Middle Caspian basin differ from folded ones of South Caspian. The paper presents the researches of geodynamic processes in Middle Caspian basin and the types of traps formed due to them. Five structural types characteristic for the Middle Caspian basin, which can play a role of traps for hydrocarbons, are described. The significance of concept of formation process of each structure type for the specification of direction of exploration surveys in this region is shown as well. The most interesting of them in the context of geodynamic development are the inversion structures and monocline on the north-east slope of the Great Caucasus. The first structures are the great anticlines occurred due to the inversion of triassic grabens. The combination of lake sediments in the grabens favorable for the formation of parent rocks and giant traps over the last ones reduces the risks of exploration works. The formation of the monocline on the north-east slope of the Great Caucasus may be justified with the salt accumulation in the marginal lakes bordered with barrier reefs in the Upper Jurassic stage. These reef structures may serve as traps for the hydrocarbons.

Bis-m-dibromdibenzoat and bis-p-dibromdibenzoat esters of ethylene-glycol with the yield of 92, 88 % correspondingly have been synthesized based on the p-brombenzoic, m-brombenzoic acids and ethylene-glycol in the ratio of 2:1.2, at the 110 оС temperature and with 6–7 hours duration in the presence of ionic-fluid catalyst of n-methylpyrrolidon-hydrosulfate. The physical-chemical parameters of synthesized compound esters have been defined and their structure identified spectrally. Due to the electrophilic (Cl, Br) heteroaromatic acids in the synthesized esters, the resin content (sedimentation capacity) of the components in the diesel fuel reduces. The decrease of amount of resin in the synthesis of esters activates them as the antioxidants in the diesel fuel. These esters used in 100 ml diesel fuel in 0.004 % concentration reduced the sedimentation at 120 оС temperature approximately for five times. Synthesized compound esters have been tested on the increase of resistance of the diesel fuel against thermooxidation. Thus, it is justified that the esters of synthesized ethylene-glycol may be used in the presence of a catalyst of hydrosulfate of n-methylpyrrolidon for the increase of thermooxidative stability of the diesel fuel.

Authors:   State Agency on Renewable Energy Sources, Ministry of Energy of Azerbaijan Republic, Abdullayev J.S. , Humbatova R.E. ,   State Agency on Renewable Energy Sources, Ministry of Energy of Azerbaijan Republic
Published: June 2023

The article discusses a number of advantages and disadvantages of reducing carbon emissions and using hydrogen energy in the energy transition in our country. Depending on the legislation, technical readiness, financial resources and other factors, the presence of the following key points for the use of hydrogen has been highlighted: - Hydrogen production through low-carbon technologies plays an important role in the energy transition process; - The production of blue hydrogen is associated with the use of natural gas, which may affect our country’s natural gas exports. At the same time, the provision of additional support by our country in meeting the growing demand for gas along with contractual obligations to supply natural gas to European markets through existing pipelines was emphasized. This means an increase in the existing export capacities of natural gas supplied via TANAP and TAP by about 2 times; - Technological limitations for long-term transportation of green hydrogen along the Southern Gas Corridor; - Additional research is required to explore the possibilities of using green hydrogen in the oil refining, ammonia, methanol and other petrochemical industries; - Despite the adoption of strategic goals and documents in the relevant field, there is a lack of technical regulatory documents on the use of hydrogen energy and its application in various fields; - Due to the high offshore wind energy potential, green hydrogen production may be economically viable (further research required).; - The lack of water resources in our country can seriously affect the production of green hydrogen.
On the necessity of reviewing maps of tectonic and oil-gas geological zoning of depressive regions of Azerbaijan
Authors:   Institute for Oil and Gas, Azerbaijan Republic, Yusubov N.P.
Published: June 2023

For more than twenty years ago, “Tectonic map of oil-gas bearing regions of Azerbaijan” and “Oil-gas geological zoning and oil-gas bearing perspectives of Azerbaijan” maps were published. When compiling them, along with the latest geological and geophysical data accumulated by that time (2003), the following maps were also used: “Oil and gas fields and promising structures of the Azerbaijan SSR” (1985), “Oil and gas potential of the Azerbaijan SSR” (1987) and the corresponding explanatory notes to them. Since then, the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea has again been covered by 2D seismic on a regional scale with a network density of seismic profiles of 2.5x2.5 km. On the land territory of Azerbaijan, a number of regional seismic profiles were developed using innovative technologies; the surveys continued to bring the discovered prospective objects into deep drilling. Based on the results of industrial and scientific research, the geological structure of the territory of Azerbaijan, including individual areas of depression zones and the water area of the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea, has been clarified. All these facts substantiate the necessity to generalize geological and geophysical data, particularly the map of oil and gas geological zoning. The paper discusses the results of interpretation of the up-to-date geological-geophysical data justifying the necessity of updating the map of “Oil-gas geological zoning and oil-gas bearing potential of Azerbaijan”. It is recommended to use the main property of hydrocarbon system while updating this map: Source formation → channels (ways) of fluid migration → reservoirs (hydrocarbon traps) > fluid seal (cover layers).

This study investigates powdered cellulose materials, particularly nanocellulose derived from plant and bacterial sources. The nanocellulose was generated by hydrolyzing bleached sulphate softwood and hardwood pulp samples with strong acids. The original materials are present in the product lines of leading Russian pulp and paper companies. The bacterial cellulose was produced under laboratory conditions from Medusomyces gisevii. The dimensional parameters of the nanocellulose samples were evaluated using electron microscopy, and the degree of polymerization was measured by determining the viscosity of the cellulose solutions in cadoxene. The bleached softwood pulp had a nanocellulose particle length of 80–200 nm, a particle diameter of 80–100 nm, and a degree of polymerization of 60. The bleached hardwood pulp had a particle length of 80–150 nm, a particle diameter of 70–100 nm, and a degree of polymerization of 50. The bacterial nanocellulose had a particle length of 120–250 nm, a particle diameter of 70–120 nm, and a degree of polymerization of 110. Suspensions of various concentrations (from 1 to 10 %) were prepared from nanocellulose samples, which were subsequently used as reinforcing additives in cardboard samples. The additive was applied to the surface in one or two layers. Additives of nanocellulose preparations reduced the breaking length (from 9.6 to 40.4 %) along with an increase in cardboard density (from 6.3 to 23.8 %), tensile rigidity (from 14.0 to 25.0 %) and bursting strength (up to 31.9 %). The best results were obtained by applying a nanocellulose suspension of bleached softwood pulp to the board surface in two layers: a 9.6 % decrease in breaking length was observed with an increase in density of 23.8 %, tensile rigidity of 25.0 %, and bursting resistance of 31.9 % relative to the control sample. Therefore, the study showed the possibility of using nanocellulose suspensions derived from plants and bacterial sources by acid hydrolysis for the surface treatment of cardboard.

Genetic Evaluation by Microsatellite Loci of Pinus sylvestris L. Plus Trees
Authors:   Forest Research Institute of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Raevsky Boris V. , Ilinov Alexey A.
Published: June 2023

In this study, a comparative analysis was performed to estimate the genetic diversity levels of Pinus sylvestris L. in 49 seed orchards of I generation and progeny test plantings using 4-nucleus microsatellite loci. The seed orchards are located in the Petrozavodsk and Zaonezhye regions of the Republic of Karelia. The progeny trials were created by half-sibling seed progenies of the clones in the Petrozavodsk seed orchard. Micro-Checker software was used to identify null alleles and exclude genotyping errors. Coefficients of genetic originality were determined by examining the genetic structure of breeding objects in relation to the proportion between the rare and the dominant alleles for each selected tree. A major part of the rarest alleles (27.3–37.0 %) and a small fraction of the most common alleles (3.3–14.8 %) were detected for the distinct range of the pine trees in both seed orchards and test cultures. The largest number (40) of all identified alleles (51) was found in the Petrozavodsk seed orchard. The Hardy-Weinberg test comparing allele rates to expectational values showed a lack of heterozygotes in each category of the empirical substances. The selected material also had high levels of allelic and genetic diversity. The average number of alleles per locus ranged from 7.75 to 10.50. The average effective number was from 5.00 to 6.54. The observed heterozygosity varied from 0.60 to 0.70. The expected heterozygosity was 0.63–0.71. The numerical deviations were statistically insignificant. The AMOVA molecular dispersion result was 5 %, indicating the absence of significant genetic differentiation between the breeding objects. The heterozygote deficiency was caused not only by the presence of null alleles, but also by the selection. Namely, the set of alleles in the experimental material, randomly selected from a limited number of genotypes (clones), may differ from the natural population. The high level of the rarest alleles in the given range of the pine trees can also be explained as a selection effect. The results obtained in this study are important for creating breeding objects with higher genetic value. For citation: Ilinov A.A., Raevsky B.V.

Application of Ooencyrtus kuvanae Howard Against Gypsy Moth
Authors:   All-Russian Research Institute for Silviculture and Mechanization of Forestry (FBU VNIILM), Sergeeva Yuliya A. , Dolmonego Sergey O.
Published: June 2023

The gypsy moth, Lymanria dispar, is one of the most widespread pest-insects in the Russian Federation. Anastatus japonicus Ashmead and Ooencyrtus kuvanae Howard are parasites that live on the eggs of L. dispar. They can be found in the European part of Russia, where the insects were imported from North Korea in 1988. The usage of O. kuvanae to limit the gypsy moth populations requires recognition of the release rates and effectiveness in preventing mass pest outbreaks, as well as for the evaluation of the possibility of elimination. An experimental release of O. kuvanae (237 500 specimens) was conducted in 2019 during a gypsy moth outbreak in the Orenburg region, which covered the basin of the Ural River within the territory of three forestries. The average number of clutches of O. kuvanae varied from 1 to 20 clutches per tree. The control of efficiency was made 48–52 after the release, during the incubation period of the 3ed generation of O. kuvanae. The clutches were collected and experimentally analyzed. The release rate of L. dispar ranged 82.9–90.3 % at the locations with a density of 107–268 thousand eggs/ha and did not exceed 47.3 % at the locations with a density of 3800 thousand eggs/ha. A coefficient for estimation of the optimal number of O. kuvanae specimens per 1 ha was proposed based on the proportion of the released egg parasitoids per 1 ha and the absolute number of the destroyed eggs of L. dispar. The regulation of the gypsy moth’s population by O. kuvanae should be done at the biggening of the foci formation. The usage of the entomophage in the active reproductive foci of the gypsy moth, with an infestation rate higher than 1.5 clutches per tree, cannot reduce the phytophage numbers to a harmless level. The application of O. kuvanae can be a part of an integrated system of preventive measures: chemical or biological pesticide treatments to reduce gypsy moth populations, and after initiate the release of the entomophages.

They are forest fires, phytopathogenic activities, and invasive influence, in addition to changes in climatic conditions, in particular an increase in temperature. The study is intended to determine the potential stock of wood and carbon compounds in detritus. The principal categories for it are snags, downed dead wood, and stumps. Additionally, it predicts the amount of wood residues in the conditions of the taiga forest-steppe subzone of Central Siberia. A coarse woody detritus was examined in the structurally pure forests of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). A circular area of constant radius was used as an accounting unit. The cause woody detritus in snag was 82 %, in downed dead wood was 16 % (1.5–18.3 m3‧ha–1), in stumps was 2 % (0–2.6 m3‧ha–1). The content of detritus was found in only 11 % of the total stock of the stand. The environmental quality at the location of growth had a strong effect on the amount of detritus because of the growth rate of the trees, which is higher in the ideal conditions. Most of the coarse woody detritus (66.4 %) was accumulated in the stands of productivity class I, which was almost double that in the stands of productivity class II (33.6 %). The carbon content in snags, downed dead wood, and stumps was higher in high-density stands (0.81 or more) than in medium-density stands (0.6–0.8). The age and average height of the stand were considerable indicators for predicting stocks of wood and carbon in snags. The amount of wood and carbon in the downed dead wood also depended on the growth density and total stock of wood at the location. The regression equations were generated to predict the volume of the coarse wood detritus. According to the results, it can be concluded that in the investigated stands the destructive processes were identified, which were determined by the concentration of detritus. The production of detritus was activated by both age composition, when a major part of the trees enters the mature or overmature stages, and biogenic factors, which were stimulated by pathogenesis and climatic changes.

Published: June 2023

The predominance of mixed forest stands in a productive forest fund, which is located in the middle taiga subzone of Northwest Russia, determines the relevance of an investigation of the growth and development characteristics of the trees. In secondary stands, created by an extensive human consumption of primary spruce stands, spruce trees are generally presented in a minor quantity. The recovery of their dominance is an urgent economic and ecological issue. Despite the unity of approaches concerning the maintenance of deciduous-spruce forests, the research characteristics on the structure of the root systems differ considerably along with age and geographical position. This article investigates a root system competition between spruce and deciduous species in a 70-year-old blueberry-type forest that was 100 thinning by a reconstructive cutting 35 years ago. The mass of fine roots and their distribution in the upper solid layers were examined by the method of soil monoliths in the mixed stands with different proportions of spruce. The numerical characteristics of the stands were determined by the results of a regular complete enumeration on the trail plots. Besides, the tree diameters were measured around the circular plots, which were made for the collection of the monoliths. The records were made on the dynamics of changes in forest floor thickness and vegetation. The relationship between the underground and elevated parts of the stands was explored. It was shown that the roots of spruce can occupy the same ecological niche as the roots of deciduous species. A correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between the mass of fine spruce roots and the competitive influence of deciduous species, the proportion of spruce in the stand, and its current volume increment. There was a significant difference in spruce root mass under joint growth with birch and aspen. Therefore, it was concluded that this phenomenon has a complex nature. Namely, the mass of the spruce roots has a direct dependency on their closeness to the maternal trees in combination with the spatial heterogeneity of the organic soil layers. The gained findings are important for the regulation of the composition and structure of the mixed deciduous-spruce stands for growing sustainable stands with a high economic value.
