Governance, delegation or constellation?: An empirical study of corporate governance in a Swedish municipal corporation in the waste industry
Authors: Collin Sven-Olof Yrjö , Smith Elin
Published: September 2024

Corporate governance studies are dominated by a delegation view stating that governance rights originate from the owners and are delegated to agents, such as the board and the chief executive officer (CEO). We contrast this view with a constellation view where rights are located among governance actors. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the relevance of these two dichotomous views. Using a structured induction method on a single case study of a Swedish municipal corporation we abstracted three concepts: octopus governance, interactive governance and potentiality of governance. By relating them to the two views we conclude that the constellation view of governance is empirically more relevant under moderate situations, while the delegation view is more relevant in dramatic situations.
Seminar – Of Artistic Research: considered through hybrid writing and visual practice
Authors: Mike Croft
Published: September 2024

The exposition involves the adaptation of the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan's logical square, to convey an idea of artistic research practice considered from the perspective of the human subject's position in its midst. As part of the discussion the author has used some evidence of a previous lecture presentation, integrating such material with that of a newer project concerning the visualization of a nightmare image of a phantom in a portal. The tools of the research are a hybrid form of writing that embroils fictional and academic modes as a language-based practice, and visual artistic practice. The author takes Lacan's idea of the confounding of any logical argument by automatic obfuscation of it by unconscious process, and imagines that he has an other to him as a subjective second voice. The question of voices is central to the research; the suggestion that one does speak to oneself in various ways simultaneously that may be fashioned as distinct and separate. It is argued that the research aspect of artistic practice involves just a section of Lacan's logical square, particularly concerning contingency. This orientation may call to question one's tendency to reason and find meaning from the necessary locus of inquiry from the vantage-point of the language-based Symbolic – of Lacan's three psychic structuring registers Imaginary, Symbolic, Real. The element of fiction provides a literary inclination whereby, while the artistic research speaks about itself as research and references a visual practice, the exposition could also be considered a language-based practice in its own right.
(Des)Aceleração
Authors: André Rangel
Published: September 2024

(Des)Aceleração is a relational system between coherent light, bioactive molecules, velocity, glass, photoluminescence, volume, surface, algorithm and programming, in continuous variation. It is the outcome of a residency in which a dynamic intermedia system was created, articulating knowledge from a spectrum of activities and configuring conditions for a spatial, optical and chromatic experience.
The computer-controlled movement of the light beam, combined with the idiosyncrasies of the glasses, their heterogeneity, and that of the riboflavin, produces indeterminable phenomena of projection, reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light. In this system, coherent light ceases to be coherent. The laser beam is not used as a stylus but produces a visual experience that results from the coincidence of the predicted and determined with the unforeseen and indeterminate, of order with chaos.

Periphrasis (for a ditto, ditto device)
Authors: Franz Thalmair  , Michael Kargl
Published: September 2024

Periphrasis (for a ditto, ditto device) is an experimentally designed scenario in the draft stage, a think-tank and rehearsal for a future exhibition—but Periphrasis (for a ditto, ditto device) is also an exhibition in itself. Starting from the idea of the copy as a nowadays omnipresent yet more and more invisible artistic practice and form, seven Austrian and international participants discuss different strategies of appropriation. At the center of this public reflection on methodologies is the potential of the act of copying, its generative force and mimetic productivity. The purpose of this test setting is to collect current copying methods and to analyze their modes. By subjecting the copy to the act of copying again, new copying techniques will derive from this process, creating a research loop that is self-reflective and auto-generative at the same time.

Idé-generering for gitarister: Kreative Metoder som utgangspunkt for komposisjon
Authors: Hans-Kristian Holthe
Published: September 2024

I denne research-creation oppgaven har jeg utforsket hvordan gitarister tar i bruk kreative verktøy for å utløse og realisere idéer. Jeg har i løpet av oppgaven intervjuet et utvalg gitarister samt innhentet data fra lydinnsamling. Som en del av oppgaven har jeg også komponert 6 komposisjoner som jeg presenterer i løpet av resultatene. I refleksjonen reflekterer jeg rundt samspillet mellom både vitenskapelige og kunstneriske metoder, og funnene som har blitt gjort. Dette har resultert i ny kunnskap både i utløsnings- og realiserings-stadiet i komponeringsprosessen.
A Study of Willingness to Adopt Smart Aging Services: Evidence from Anhui Province, China
Authors: Yao Xing’an , Zhu Mengjun
Published: September 2024

Exploring the adoption intention of smart senior care services can help improve the actual adoption rate. Taking a questionnaire survey of 1600 households in Anhui Province as an example, structural equation modeling was used to study the adoption intention and influencing factors of smart senior care services. The results show that subjective norms, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are the key factors influencing the adoption intention of smart senior care services. Further, age has an impact on perceived usefulness and adoption intention, education has an impact on perceived ease of use and adoption intention, and monthly household income has an impact on perceived usefulness and adoption intention. This paper broadens the existing technology acceptance model (TAM) theory and provides some basis for the development of economics. The findings will be beneficial to the government in formulating more precise policies on elderly services to properly address the challenges of aging.

Authors: Zhang Xi , Wang Jiyue , Huang Ying , Zhu Feiyue
Published: September 2024

The traditional industrial big data fusion algorithm has low efficiency and difficulty in processing high-dimensional data, this paper proposes a Q-learningbased cascade classifier model for industrial big data fusion. By combining cascade classifier and softmax classifier, feature extraction and data attribute classification of source industrial big data are completed in this cluster. In order to improve the classification rate, an improved Q-learning algorithm is proposed, which makes the improved algorithm randomly select actions in the early stage, and dynamically change in the late stage in the random selection of actions and actions with the highest reward value. It effectively improves the defects of traditional Q-learning algorithm that it is easy to fall into the local optimal and has slow convergence speed. The experimental results show that compared with other advanced fusion algorithms, the proposed method can greatly reduce the network energy consumption and effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of data fusion under the same data volume.

Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

We assessed the impact of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) compared with blood glucose monitoring (BGM) on rates of hospitalization for metabolic and vascular complications of diabetes and on HbA1c levels for adults with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This retrospective study using data from the Swedish National Diabetes Register and the Swedish National Patient Register comprised adults with type 1 diabetes and an isCGM initiation date after 1 June 2017 and matched control individuals using BGM. Hospital admission rates were calculated per 100 person-years of follow-up.

RESULTS

We identified 11,822 adults with type 1 diabetes and an isCGM index date after 1 June 2017 and HbA1c baseline values 3–8 months prior to the index date. Compared with 3,007 BGM users, isCGM users had a significantly lower relative risk of hospitalization for hypoglycemia (0.32; 95% CI 0.14, 0.74), diabetic ketoacidosis (0.55; 0.35, 0.87), stroke (0.48; 0.37, 0.64), acute myocardial infarction (0.64; 0.46, 0.91), atrial fibrillation (0.59; 0.38, 0.94), heart failure (0.25; 0.16, 0.39), peripheral vascular disease (0.21; 0.07, 0.62), kidney disease (0.48; 0.35, 0.66), or hospitalization for any reason (0.32; 0.29, 0.35). Compared with BGM users, change in mean HbA1c for isCGM users was −0.30% (−3.3 mmol/mol) at 6 months and −0.24% (−2.6 mmol/mol) at 24 months (both P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

This study shows that adults with type 1 diabetes in Sweden who initiate isCGM have significantly reduced hospitalization rates for acute diabetes events, kidney disease, and cardiovascular complications, along with improved glucose control, compared with BGM users.

Tiered umbrella or in Thai called Chat means a high decoration or decoration of honor, a type of umbrella that is stacked up in layers along a single axis. At present, in Thailand, the tiered umbrellas are seen in three important places including (1) on the top of the pagoda of various temples, (2) inside the ordination hall of temples, and (3) inside the Grand Palace for the king and the royal family. In the past, a tiered umbrella was made from brass because its color was similar to gold. Constructing each set of tiered umbrellas requires a skilled technician and takes a lot of time. At present, laser cutting of metals has been widely used in the production section of the industry. This is due to the advantages of laser cutting that include narrow kerf width, smooth cutting edges, high cutting speed, reduced material waste, no tool wear, and easy automation and manipulation even for complex shapes. In this work, an example for the construction of seven-tiered umbrellas from stainless steel sheets using a high-power CO2 laser was reported. The results show that the total working time for the construction of a seven-tiered umbrella is about 113 h, which is much less time compared to 3–6 months taken by craftsmen. Therefore, this method can preserve the construction of tiered umbrellas in Thailand even though craftsmen are scarce at present.

The use of intra-articular corticosteroids is frequent in joint pathology, particularly in osteoarthritis. Although it offers a temporary relief of pain, inflammation and function, their long-term safety and efficacy remain controversial. Particulate corticosteroids have a sustained release, while non-particulate corticosteroids have a faster onset of action but a shorter duration of effect. This narrative review highlights the importance of informed IAC selection based on pharmacokinetics, potential benefits, and cartilage risks.

Published: September 2024

This study explored the effectiveness of ethanol and methanol as attractants for controlling the coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei Ferr 1867, a significant pest in global coffee plantations. The research aimed to assess the efficiency of these substances as attractant traps for CBB in Kaliselogiri, Banyuwangi, Indonesia. Using a single-factor randomized block design, the experiment involved nine treatments, each replicated three times, with modified PTE traps of 2 L volume set up at 1.5 m height. Traps were checked weekly to monitor CBB attack intensity before and after applying attractants. Statistical analyses including the Mann-Whitney Non-parametric test and Duncan’s test were used to examine variations across blocks and weeks. Abundance boxplot graphs offered descriptive insights. Over six weeks, 14,044 CBB’s were captured. The peak was in the third week, with a decline in the fourth, followed by a resurgence until the end of the study. The Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant p-value (p = 0.000; confidence level = 5%), confirming the effectiveness of the attractants on CBB. Of the treatments, K6 (Ethanol: Methanol = 2:1) was most effective. Ethanol and methanol proved to be efficient lures in CBB management traps, with ethanol particularly effective in larger compositions, suggesting its wider application. These results support the use of attractant-based strategies for CBB control and highlight the importance of ethanol and methanol. Further research is needed to optimize attractant compositions and assess long-term impacts on CBB populations and agroecosystems. The ecological consequences, including potential effects on non-target species and overall sustainability, warrant further investigation. In summary, this study advances CBB management through attractant-based traps, emphasizing the importance of ethanol.

Critical thinking significantly impacts the moral control of children, as evidenced by various studies. The "Philosophy for Children" (P4C) program has been shown to enhance critical thinking skills, which in turn fosters moral reasoning by encouraging students to reflect on the consequences of their actions during discussions. This study aims to unravel the correlation between the concepts of at-Ta’dib and Conscientização. The research employs a literature study with descriptive analysis. The results indicate that the thoughts of Paulo Freire and Naquib al-Attas have continuity, where character education (at-Ta’dib) leads to the emergence of awareness (Conscientização), and awareness has consequences for critical thinking patterns as well as the emergence of good values and chang

Published: September 2024

Von Diskussionen zum (Un-)Sinn von iPad-Klassen bis zum Hype um generative KI weckt kaum ein Thema so großes Interesse in Schule und Lehrkräftebildung wie die Digitalität. Was meint Digitalität aber genau? Und warum ist der Bereich auch jenseits technischer Fragen so zentral für Lehrkräftebildung und Unterricht? Küplüce bearbeitet diese Fragen mit einer systematischen Begriffsklärung und fachlichen Verortung von Digitalität in der Fremdsprachendidaktik. Darüber hinaus werden mit den Perspektivlinien Entgrenzung, Automatisierung und Adaptivität Beispiele gegeben, wie sich das Thema konkret auf den Unterricht auswirken kann. Schließlich analysiert die Studie das zentrale Konstrukt digitalitätsbezogener Vorstellungen empirisch und gibt Hinweise, wie diese die Interpretation und Bewertung von Digitalität beeinflussen und sogar Auswirkungen auf Motivation und Unterrichtshandeln haben könnten.

Authors: Maia Edson Galvão , Martins Flávia Santos , Coelho Izete Lehmkuhl
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever as formas de tratamento (tu, você, o (a)senhor(a)) na posição de sujeito em 119 cartas pessoais da Amostra Família, escritas entre 1940 e 1980, extraídas do Projeto PHPB/AM. Como arcabouço teórico-metodológico, utilizamos a Sociolinguística Histórica (CONDE SILVESTRE, 2007) a qual se ampara na Teoria da Variação e Mudança (WLH, 2006 [1968], LABOV, 1994). Nossa principal hipótese está relacionada à implementação do pronome você na escrita dos missivistas manauaras de diferentes faixas etárias. Esse uso deve estar ligado a fatores sócio pragmáticos como relações assimétricas e simétricas entre os interlocutores. Os resultados mostram que há variação das três formas de tratamento tu, o(a) senhor(a) e você na posição de sujeito. Quando observamos a correlação entre as estratégias de referência à segunda pessoa do singular e as relações sócio pragmáticas assumidas pelos remetentes e destinatários de três gerações, constatamos que nas relações assimétricas descendentes (pai/sogra ® filha/nora) e nas relações simétricas (entre irmãos, cunhados e primos) observou-se uso alternado dos pronomes tu e você, já nas relações assimétricas ascendentes (filhos/netos ® mãe/avó) uso exclusivo de o(a)senhor(a). Notamos que você não conserva traços de formalidade associado a seu tratamento original (Vossa Mercê), pois não se alterna com o pronome o(a) senhor(a) nas relações assimétricas ascendentes. A alternância é observada apenas com o pronome tu, nas relações assimétricas descendentes e nas relações simétricas, marcando intimidade e familiaridade.
On a generalization of $z$-ideals in modules over commutative rings
Authors: Mohebian Seyedeh Fatemeh , Fazaeli Moghimi Hosein
Published: September 2024

In this article, we introduce and study the concept of $z$-submodules as a generalization of $z$-ideals. Let $M$ be a module over a commutative ring with identity $R$. A proper submodule $N$ of $M$ is called a $z$-submodule if for any $x\in M$ and $y\in N$ such that every maximal submodule of $M$ containing $y$ also contains $x$, then $x\in N$ as well. We investigate the properties of $z$-submodules, particularly considering their stability with respect to various module constructions. Let $\mathcal{Z}({_R}M)$ denote the lattice of $z$-submodules of $M$ ordered by inclusion. We are concerned with
certain mappings between the lattices $\mathcal{Z}({_R}R)$ and $\mathcal{Z}({_R}M)$. The mappings in question are $\phi:\mathcal{Z}({_R}R) \rightarrow \mathcal{Z}({_R}M)$ defined by setting for each $z$-ideal $I$ of $R$, $\phi(I)$ to be the intersection of all $z$-submodules of $M$ containing $IM$ and $\psi:\mathcal{Z}({_R}M) \rightarrow \mathcal{Z}({_R}R)$ defined by $\psi(N)$ is the colon ideal $(N:M)$. It is shown that $\phi$ is a lattice homomorphism, and if $M$ is a finitely generated multiplication module, then $\psi$ is also a lattice homomorphism. In particular, $\mathcal{Z}({_R}M)$ is a homomorphic image of $\mathcal{R}({_R}M)$, the lattice of radical submodules of $M$. Finally, we show that if $Y$ is a finite subset of a compact Hausdorff $P$-space $X$, then every submodule of the $C(X)$- module $\mathbb{R}^Y$ is a $z$-submodule of $\mathbb{R}^Y$.
Design of a six-phase surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor with application to electric trucks
Authors: Quoc Vuong Dang , Cong Trinh Truong
Published: September 2024

As we have known, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have garnered widespread interest across various industrial applications thanks to their advantages such as high efficiency, reliable performance, simple structure, and adaptability to various shapes and sizes. Due to characteristics of the high torque and low speed, the PMSMs make particularly well-suited for traction applications such as trucks, ship propulsion, mining, and more. In this context, a combination of the analytical method and finite element method (FEM) is proposed for designing and simulating a six-phase surface-mounted PMSM. Firstly, a model of the six-phase PMSM is analytically design to make required/main dimensions. The FEM is then applied to analyse and verify electromagnetic parameters such as of the current waveform, back electromagnetic force (EMF), magnetic flux density in the air gap, flux linkage, torque, cogging torque, torque ripple and harmonic components. Via the obtained results, the research will give a contribution of valuable insights for optimizing the design, performance and reliability for this motor in diverse industrial applications.
An experiment method of maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic panel based on hardware in loop simulation
Authors: Nguyen Hoai Phong , Nguyen Thuan Thanh
Published: September 2024

Hardware-in-loop (HIL) is a technique that allows one to simulate the behavior of a technical system in real time. This makes it a valuable tool for controller validation in many fields including photovoltaic systems. This paper proposes an experiment solution for maximizing power of the photovoltaic (PV) panel using HIL simulation. The proposed HIL configuration consists of two parts. The first part includes the PV, the DC-DC boost converter and load are simulated using HYPERSIM and run on the real-time OPAL-RT simulator. The second part is the real MPPT controller based on the perturbation and observation (P&O) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) using the TMS320F28379D board. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed HIL configuration, the paper also presents a software-in-loop (SIL) simulation configuration for MPPT including the PV, the boost converter, load and MPPT controller based on the P&O algorithm which are simulated using HYPERSIM and run on the real-time OPAL-RT simulator. The obtained results by the proposed HIL configuration are compared with those gained by the SIL configuration on the A10J-S72-175 PV module under different irradiance and temperature levels. The obtained results show that the proposed HIL configuration can be used to perform MPPT experiments for PV under different environmental conditions. In addition, the compared results show that the proposed HIL configuration fulfills its usefulness for evaluating the practical MPPT controllers.
Modified single rigid vacuum-formed indirect bonding trays for lingual bracket application: a case report
Authors: Nguyen Anh Viet , Nguyen Anh Thuy
Published: September 2024

Lingual orthodontic treatment offers an aesthetic alternative but presents unique challenges in bracket positioning. The present article introduces a modified design and fabrication process for rigid vacuum-formed indirect bonding trays for lingual bracket application. The technique is presented through a clinical case report of an adult patient who presented with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion and managed using lingual appliances, premolar extractions, and mini-screws. The modified rigid vacuum-formed trays enabled the accurate simultaneous bonding of multiple teeth as well as individual teeth. The technique offers several advantages over existing indirect bonding methods, including time-saving, simplicity, easy removal of excessive adhesive, and potential cost-effectiveness. The superimposition of post-bonding scans and the digital orthodontic setup showed high agreement between the planned and actual bracket positions. Additionally, the close alignment between the planned orthodontic setup and the achieved treatment outcome highlights the reliability of the technique for predictable lingual orthodontic treatment. Further clinical studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the effectiveness of this technique.

Authors: Dwianika Agustine
Published: September 2024

This study examines the effect of Profitability (Return On Sales and net Profit Margin), Sales Growth and Business Strategy on Tax Avoidance practices and Financial Distress as moderators suspected of influencing corporate tax avoidance practices. The quantitative method used in this study, multiple linear regression, is the right choice for conducting further analysis, with a range of observations of financial reports on technology companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2019-2023, with a purposive sampling technique to ensure obtaining information related to the measurement indicators used, in 15 qualified companies, using IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0. The study concluded that Return On Sales, Net Profit Margin, and Business Strategy influenced Tax Avoidance practices. In contrast, the Sales Growth variable did not influence Tax Avoidance, and Financial Distress only moderated the effect of ROS on Tax Avoidance. In practice, not all management strategies to increase sales absorb too high costs, so financial managers do not choose to practice tax avoidance. The implications of this study are expected to provide an overview to users of financial reports, especially external parties, to assess the firm's performance in complying with its tax obligations based on the factors in this study.

The rapid development of technology in the modern era triggers new characters in society due to the onslaught of information and communication technology development. This is also close to the influencer generation or Gen Z. One of the new characters is Phubbing, which comes from the words “phone” and “snubbing”, which is meant as the phenomenon of insulting or ignoring someone because they are too focused on the device. Previous studies show that 80.2% of influencers or gen Z have phubbed, and 91.3% admitted to having been phubbed by a phubbee due to excessive device use. One can lose trust, disharmonious interpersonal relationships, and empathy. So, this research aims to look at and study the theory of technological determinism from this point of view. To investigate the phubbing phenomenon, a descriptive qualitative approach was used. In addition, to obtain information about phubbing, the research subject used purposive nonprobability sampling method with 8 participants. The results showed that the presence of new media can cause phubbing to change the communication patterns of the influencer generation or Gen Z. Then, the main component of phubbing is the presence of new media. Then, the main component of phubbing is losing one's control over the use of new media. With most audiences considering phubbing as normal, this leads to a social order system that is plunged by technological determinism. The study of phubbing is reinforced by the theory of technological determinism. Technological advances allow audiences to take direct action. This research hopes to open new insights and perspectives in research and offer solutions for audiences to deal with the phenomenon of phubbing in the digital age.
