Published: December 2022

As a key force to carry out the technology transfer, more and more colleges and universities have set up specific departments for promoting technology transfer vigorously. Due to the strong professionalism and specialized application fields, universities with geological industry characteristics need to set up specialized internal technology transfer organizations to carry out the operation and management of patented technologies and the technology transfer. Promoting the technology transfer of the university based on early technology sifting requires the excavation and promotion by professional technology teams. China has successively introduced policies to encourage technology managers to participate in serving the technology transfer. Universities have set up offices for the technology transfer, built teams of technology managers and carried out the practice of serving the technology transfer. This study focuses on advantageous geological engineering directions, locating potential technology fields, summarizing technology application bases, taking stock of technology achievement accumulation, and basically completing early technology sifting through market value assessment and transformation prospect analysis. It supports and cultivates high-value achievements by setting up transformation fund, coordinates with pilot validation, introduces achievements to the market, and promotes them extensively, which eventually leads to the technology transfer.

Published: December 2022

Autonomous vehicles are one of the increasingly widespread application areas in automotive technology. These vehicles show significant potential in improving transportation systems, with their ability to communicate, coordinate and drive autonomously. These vehicles, which move from source to destination without human intervention, appear to be a solution to various problems caused by people in traffic, such as accidents and traffic jams. Traffic accidents and traffic jams are largely due to driver faults and non-compliance with traffic rules. For this reason, it is predicted that integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems into autonomous vehicles will be a solution to such situations, which are seen as a problem in social life. Looking at the literature, VGGNet, ResNet50, MobileNetV2, NASNetMobile, Feed Forward Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, Long-Short Term Memory, and Gate Recurrent Units It is seen that deep learning models such as these are widely used in traffic sign classification studies. Unlike previous studies, in this study, a deep learning application was made for the detection of traffic signs and markers using an open-source data set and models of YOLOv5 versions. The original data set was prepared and used in the study. Labeling of this data set in accordance with different AI models has been completed. In the developed CNN models, the training process of the data set containing 15 different traffic sign classes was carried out. The results of these models were systematically compared, and optimum performance values were obtained from the models with hyperparameter changes. Real-time application was made using the YOLOv5s model. As a result, a success rate of 98-99% was achieved.

Published: December 2022

It is necessary to understand the efficiency of the filters, which are the most important part of the ventilation systems, in order to hinder the spreading of the Covid-19 virus. In this article, a model was created using theoretical solutions developed for single fiber efficiency and with this created model, the previous theoretical data were confirmed. Then, the theoretical data in the model created with the experimental data were compared. Also, factors such as fiber diameter, particle diameter, or flow velocity affecting single fiber efficiency were changed and the effects of these parameters were investigated. As a result of this investigation, it was seen that, as the Peclet number increased, the single fiber efficiency decreased, and the efficiency of the single fiber increased when the particle diameter increased. Finally, when the solidity, which can be considered as the fiber density in the filter, increased, the single fiber efficiency increased along with it. When solidity was increased from 0.011 to 0.03, single fiber efficiency increases from 0.023 to 0.0269. That is, there was an increase of approximately 16.9 %.

Power stations, bridges and skyscrapers: forgotten figures in structural engineering history. Part 1: Becoming a professional - the contexts of some pioneering women working in structural engineering
Authors: Baker Nina
Published: December 2022

The 2020 James Sutherland History Lecture given by Steven Brindle covered the emergence of structural engineering as a profession over the last 200 years. This paper covers the same period but from a slightly different perspective, looking at some early women in structural engineering. The paper is in two parts. The first is by Nina Baker and provides some general context and an overview of some of the better-known women engineers of this period. The second is by Fiona Cobb and will cover new research into two figures of particular interest to the Institution of Structural Engineers. For this, there are two candidates as ‘first woman’ of the Institution: Florence Taylor (1926) and Mary Irvine (1947). They are of particular interest as we approach their Institution anniversaries. The centenary of Taylor’s membership will be in 2026 and the 75th anniversary of Irvine’s will be in 2022.

El concepto jurídico de residuo, subproducto y materia prima secundaria (fin de la condición de residuo) y su relación con el REACH
Authors: Hernández Lozano Luis Ángel
Published: December 2022

Tanto el concepto de residuo, como los de subproducto y de materia prima secundaria (fin de la condición de residuo), como realidades físicas y jurídicas diferentes, vienen siendo manejados desde hace años por la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea. No obstante, y en lo que concierne tanto al término de subproducto como al de materia prima secundaria, no han sido codificados hasta fechas relativamente cercanas, con la aprobación de la Directiva 2008/98/CE del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo de 19 de noviembre de 2008 sobre los residuos y por la que se derogan determinadas Directivas.

El problema se plantea cuando la precisión terminológica, dista mucho de haberse logrado en estos conceptos claves.

En este contexto, este trabajo trata de analizar tanto la normativa como la jurisprudencia de la Unión Europea, la cual ha ido conformando cada uno de los caracteres genéricos y diferenciales que caracterizan a una determinada sustancia u objeto bien como residuo, bien como subproducto, bien como materia prima secundaria, así como la posible relación entre la normativa sectorial de los residuos y la de las sustancias peligrosas, a la luz de la STJUE de 7 de marzo de 2013.
Las renovables ante los recientes cambios normativos: el episodio jurisprudencial del RD 1565/2010, que modifica la tarifa retributiva de la energía fotovoltaica
Authors: Ruiz Olmo Irene
Published: December 2022

En el presente trabajo se analiza la legalidad de las modificaciones realizadas en el régimen jurídico de la electricidad fotovoltaica, a través del RD 1565/2010 de 19 de noviembre, por el que se regulan y modifican determinados aspectos relativos a la actividad de producción de energía eléctrica en régimen especial. Señaladamente resulta relevante la alteración de su régimen retributivo llevado a cabo en el apartado 10, del artículo 1 de la norma citada, que elimina el derecho a percibir la tarifa regulada a partir del año vigésimo sexto de la entrada en funcionamiento de la instalación. Este precepto ha sido dotado de retroactividad por el regulador puesto que se aplica no solo a las instalaciones nuevas, sino también a aquellas que ya habían sido construidas. Por ello resulta imprescindible analizar dicha retroactividad a la luz de los principios de seguridad jurídica, confianza legítima, interdicción de la arbitrariedad de los poderes públicos y rentabilidad razonable. El estudio de estas cuestiones se realizará al hilo del análisis jurídico que sobre la materia ha llevado a cabo el Tribunal Supremo en las sentencias que resuelven los recursos interpuestos contra el RD 1565/2010.

Published: December 2022

Interactions of certain analytes with metal surfaces in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments and columns cause a range of deleterious effects, including peak broadening and tailing, low peak areas, and the formation of new peaks due to chemical reactions. To mitigate these effects, we have developed a novel surface modification technology in which a hybrid organic/inorganic surface based on an ethylene-bridged siloxane chemistry is applied to the metal components in HPLC instruments and columns. We demonstrate the impact of this technology on peak symmetry, peak area, and injection-to-injection and column-to-column reproducibility for several metal-sensitive analytes. We also show an example of the mitigation of an on-column oxidation reaction. A variant of this technology has recently been developed for size-exclusion chromatography of proteins. An example is shown demonstrating the use of this variant applied to size-exclusion columns for the separation of a monoclonal antibody monomer and higher molecular weight species. Together, these results highlight the importance of preventing interactions of analytes with metal surfaces in HPLC in order to achieve accurate and precise results.

Authors: Israelian Astghik
Published: December 2022

The eye, in folk cultures, may be terribly harmful. This ancient belief was a widespread one and is still alive among different peoples. It was considered that not only living people could harm but also the dead ones and even the animals as for instance the snakes.
The power of the evil eye in popular traditions depended on people's location, nationality, social status, profession, the color of the eyes and the hair, etc. The harm caused by the evil eye was often supposed to have influence involuntary, and it was even considered that a person could harm himself. The terrible power of glance might harm the heavenly bodies and gods as well. Not only the glance but also the words might be of a precipitating cause of injury, especially when praising somebody or an evil thought, which comes out from the eyes may harm. More frequently, envy is thought to bring misfortune. In the works of different specialists we encounter the harmful properties of the evil eye: ethnographers, anthropologists, philologists, folklorists, culturologists, linguists, historians, poets, archaeologists, orientalists, clergymen, theologists, Medieval historians, Ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, poets and so on. The idea of the evil eye is found in the Bible, in Avesta and elsewhere. In medicine the eye examination dates back to ancient times: iridology-diagnosis of diseases by changes in the structure and color of the iris was applied in Ancient Egypt, Babylon, Tibet, India, Indochina, and later – in Europe. As for protection from the evil eye, there are many ways – a huge number of amulets made of different materials, certain gestures, word formulas. Magic rituals are also some of means used to deflect the evil eye and to defend from it.

Published: December 2022

The role of postcards has significantly decreased nowadays, with the appearance of modern means of communication. While the postcard is losing its primary importance, at the same time it is gaining a second life as an object of study for historians, cultural anthropologists, art historians and museologists. In the framework of this article, I will analyze the photo postcard collections making part of the ethnography funds of the History Museum of Armenia.
The article is one of the first attempts to apply the multimodal approach to this particular collection. The approach suggests seeing the collection postcards as material objects with their specifics as stamps, marks and messages, as a source for the reconstruction of a historical, cultural and social context, and as a research method for studying different anthropological problems of particular historical periods.

Published: December 2022

İnsanların tüketim pratikleri ve ürün tercihleri, pek çok dinamiğe bağlı olarak değişebilmektedir. Tüketim, yalnızca ürünün işlevi ya da alım gücü ile açıklanamayacak kadar kapsamlıdır. Ürün ve markalara atfedilen sembolik değerler ve sahip olunan ürünlerin gösterişçi kullanımı, tüketim tartışmalarını geniş bir perspektife yerleştirmektedir. Çalışmada gösterişçi ve sembolik tüketim tartışmalarından yola çıkarak, lüks markalardan biri olarak görülen iPhone kullanımına ilişkin pratikler incelenmiş ve iPhone’a atfedilen anlamlar ile değerler anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Nitel bir araştırmanın yürütüldüğü ve fenomenolojik yaklaşımın benimsendiği araştırmada, 19 iPhone kullanıcısı ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları ile toplanan verilerin analizi sonucunda, “statü & prestij, gösteriş, gelir düzeyi, benzersizlik & farklılık, aidiyet, marka imajı” olmak üzere altı tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Katılımcıların en çok kamera kalitesi ile telefonun yüksek performansa sahip olup kısa sürede yavaşlamaması nedeniyle iPhone’u tercih ettikleri, bir katılımcı hariç tüm katılımcıların telefonlarını uzun süreli kullandıkları, telefon ihtiyacı karşılamayacak duruma gelmeden yeni bir modele geçiş yapmadıkları, yeni bir telefon alacakları zaman ise iPhone’dan başka bir marka kullanmak istemedikleri bulgulanmıştır. Katılımcıların marka sadakatlerinin yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Temalar kapsamındaki analizlerde ise, katılımcılar bir yandan ürünün gerçek anlamda statü ve prestij sağlamadığını bildiklerini, bir yandan da ürünün statü ve prestij sağlayabileceğini düşündüklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Bu doğrultuda ürünün, statü ve prestij ile ilişkili olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Statü, prestij ve gelir düzeyi arasındaki ilişkinin ise özellikle son çıkan modelin kullanılması ile belirgin hale geldiği vurgulanmıştır. Telefonun markasının açıkça gösterilerek kullanılmasının gösteriş ile ilişki olduğu, iPhone’a sahip olmanın farklı ve özel hissettirdiği, aynı marka telefon kullananlar arasında dolaylı bir bağ oluştuğu, marka imajının olumlu ve ürün reklamlarının etkili olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Katılımcıların iPhone’u tanımlarlarken sırasıyla en çok, “kalite”, “kamera” ve “farklı” kavramını kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Introduction: Indonesia is one of the developing countries that have various cultures, ethnicities, and mysticism. Those things influence their society, especially the people in the low middle class and uneducated well. Many people still believe that a disease can occur due to mystical things, so they believe that a dukun can treat it, even if the process is illogical. This phenomenon nowadays still exists in society. Dukun usually has his way to cure or solve someone’s diseases, even though his methods to cure someone’s diseases usually do not have evidence-based and the diseases need to see professionals. It shows in this case. Dukun in this case used ice blocks as his method to cure someone’s disease. This “ice blocks therapy” may trigger hypothermia conditions in someone and also may cause death, especially in a person with chronic disease.

Published: December 2022

Utilization of population data for all purposes is a mandate of Law Number 23 of 2013 concerning Amendments to Law Number 13 of 2006 concerning Population Administration. The technical provisions as an elaboration of the mandate of the law related to the use of data are stated in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 102 of 2019 concerning the Granting of Access Rights and Utilization of Population Data. This regulation regulates how the use of population data is utilized by user institutions engaged in public services to access data verification to the population database managed by the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Ditjen Dukcapil). This research is qualitative descriptive research. Primary and secondary data collection is carried out through the source at the Directorate General of Civil and Civil Registration related to the use of population data. Access to this data verification systemically by using the Population Identification Number (NIK) results in an "APPROPRIATE" or "NOT COMPATIBLE" response to population data thrown by the user agency. The more user institutions that utilize population data, the more it leads to the realization of one population data that encourages NIK as a Single Identity Number (SIN). The results of the research carried out show that there is an integrity model for the use of population data that is built in granting access rights to the use of the data. The integrity model is an integrated series in the process of utilizing population data that must be fulfilled, namely regarding the legitimacy of the institution, permits, institutional commitments, statements of absolute responsibility, statements of maintaining confidentiality, and monitoring and evaluation. By building the integrity model of the use of population data, the negative issue of misuse of population data is very easy to trace through digital traces. To strengthen the implementation of the integrity model of the use of population data, the development of the competence of human resources involved in every series of processes or stages in building the integrity model of the use of population data need to be done. This competency development also includes material regarding soft skills.
