During its operation, sometimes it is a needed to swiftly replenish the battery from a partially depleted state, while strictly adhering to its technological limitations such as the battery terminal voltage and rated continuous charging current. To achieve this goal, this contribution outlines the dynamic battery recharging system, utilizing feedback provided by the nonlinear estimator of the battery state-of-charge (SoC) or SoC-related open-circuit-voltage (OCV). In the former case, the estimator is realized as an extended Kalman filter (EKF), while in the latter case it is implemented using the methodology of a System Reference Adaptive Model (SRAM), whose design is based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Thus-obtained innovative adaptive battery chargers are compared against the conventional constant-current/constant-voltage (CCCV) charging system, which relies solely on battery voltage feedback. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted through extensive simulations utilizing the nonlinear equivalent circuit model of the lithium titanate battery (LTO) cell.

Published: November 2024

The leakage current in photovoltaic (PV) systems, which is also known as residual current is a consequence of the parasitic capacitance between the PV and the ground (free-field PV plants) or the PV system and the structure of the object that is grounded (roof-top PV plants). When the PV system-power grid parasitic capacitance forms a loop, the common mode voltage will produce a common mode current across the parasitic capacitance. The motivation for writing this short study came from practice where the authors faced the mentioned problem on a specific PV power plant with an output power of 500kW. Therefore, the main topic of the paper will be the topologies of PV inverters and their additional impact on the residual current, as well as ways of its detection. An overview of the relevant standards in this field and some possible techniques for controlling leakage currents in FN systems with solar inverters will also be given.

The research paper analysed two types of artificial neural networks (ANN) for predicting the power output of a hydroelectric power plant. The first type is the feedforward artificial neural network (FF-ANN), while the second type is the recurrent neural network (RNN). Authors thoroughly analysed the steps taken in the process of implementing neural networks for this purpose, from data collection and preparation to training, evaluation, and results analysis. The input data includes net head, water flow through the turbine, upper water level, lower water level, and the temperature of the inlet cooling water. Based on the correlation coefficient of individual variables from the input layer with the output power, new ANN implementations were conducted. The results obtained from these variations were systematically analysed to achieve precise modelling, focusing on dynamic changes in water flow through the turbine.
REAL TIME LUMINESCENT DOSIMETRY SYSTEM FOR PRODUCT PROCESSING AT AN ELECTRON ACCELERATOR
Authors: Pomatsalyuk R. , Romanovskyi S. , Shevchenko V. , Uvarov V.
Published: November 2024

Quality control in industrial product processing at an electron accelerator requires continuous monitoring of critical parameters of the irradiation regime, first of all, of absorbed dose. The method of contact-free on-line measuring the surface distribution of absorbed dose in a processed object is described. The novel technique is based
on the use of optical radiation induced in the object with the electron beam (cathodoluminescence, CL). It is shown, that the intensity of CL is proportional to the absorbed dose rate. An automated system for online measurement of the CL signal and determination of the scanning beam parameters (profile, width, offset) has been developed. The results of calibration of the absorbed dose by the CL signal in the industrial dose range are obtained. In contrast to the well-known methods of luminescent dosimetry based on thermo- or optically stimulated luminescence, the new approach does not require a special material for detector, as well as its extra stimulation to read out the dosimetry information.

Small-angle reflectometry, X-ray diffractometry and X-ray tensometry (=0.154 nm) were used to study the structure of Mo layers in Mo/Si multilayer X-ray mirrors produced by magnetron sputtering as a function of the Ar pressure in the range of 1…4 mTorr. Two series of samples with periods of about 7 and 14 nm were produced. In all MXMs, Mo layers were crystalline (c-Mo) and Si layers were amorphous. On average, the lattice parameter a0 in the unstressed state is smaller for the 7 series samples than for the 14 nm series. It increases with Ar pressure, approaching the tabular one. On average, the lattice parameter a0 in the unstressed state for Mo layers is smaller for the 7 nm series samples than for the 14 nm series. The Si content in the c-Mo layers has been estimated. Diffusion
coefficients of silicon atoms into c-Mo layers and their activation energies are determined. Diffusion mechanisms are proposed.

O alecrim de jardim (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) é uma espécie medicinal, aromática e condimentar amplamente utilizada pela população mundial para diversos fins. Esta espécie apresenta dificuldade de enraizamento e, portanto, este trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de se estabelecer tratamentos que possam promover e acelerar o enraizamento de estacas apicais de alecrim de jardim. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação no período de agosto a novembro de 2013. Os tratamentos das bases das estacas consistiram em: ácido indolilbutírico (IBA) a 300 mg L-1, 600 mg L-1 ou 900 mg L-1, ácido naftalenoacético (NAA) a 300 mg L-1, 600 mg L-1 ou 900 mg L-1, extrato de bulbo de tiririca a 25%, 50%, 75% ou 100%; Arnica montana CH6 e como controle, água destilada. No total foram elaborados 12 tratamentos com três repetições, sendo que cada repetição continha 10 estacas que consistiram a unidade experimental. As estacas foram mantidas em casa de vegetação com irrigação constante por 90 dias. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância (teste F) e as médias comparadas pelo teste Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Os resultados mostraram que, nas condições de Botucatu (SP), não são necessárias aplicações de reguladores vegetais, sintéticos ou naturais, para o enraizamento de estacas caulinares de alecrim de jardim, visto que estacas não tratadas apresentaram os melhores resultados em todos os parâmetros avaliados.
Autoridade e [i]legitimidade do poder na narrativa exodal
Authors: Brey Petterson , Serveli Rodrigo
Published: November 2024

Propõe-se um ensaio acerca da questão da autoridade e [i]legitimidade do poder na narrativa exodal, por meio de uma abordagem literário-teológica ajustada pela análise narrativa. Há de se investigar, no âmbito do mundo narrado na primeira parte do livro do Êxodo, o antagonismo entre YHWH e Faraó, tendo como mediação a perspectiva filosófico-conceitual de Arendt. Tal enfoque baseia-se no texto “que é autoridade?”, no qual concebe-se a autoridade como uma forma de poder fundamentada na aceitação e reconhecimento de uma hierarquia ou tradição, sendo obedecida sem necessidade de coerção ou persuasão, mas pelo reconhecimento da legitimidade moral do caráter de quem exerce a soberania. Assim, propõe-se analisar, com base no conceito tripartite de Arendt sobre poder, força e autoridade, as acepções filosóficas do antagonismo teológico entre YHWH e o faraó egípcio. Destarte, há de se demonstrar que o legislador-protagonista, em Ex 19,4-6, estabelece um contraste entre o caráter de YHWH e de Faraó como fundamento retórico da aliança. Esse contraste atesta a legitimidade do poder do SENHOR frente ao sistema opressivo do Egito. Conclui-se, então, que as ações de justiça ou injustiça dos soberanos determinam a legitimidade ou ilegitimidade do poder exercido por eles, fundamentando assim sua própria autoridade.

The growth of internet users in Indonesia has experienced a significant increase year by year, reaching 78.19% of the total population in 2022-2023. This indicates a broader penetration of the internet among Indonesian society. The national digital banking transaction value shows an increasing trend, reaching Rp5,098.6 trillion in August 2023, reflecting the growing adoption of digital financial services in Indonesia. This increase is supported by the ease of access offered by banks and online financial management, in line with the preferences of the digital era's growing generation, thus Generation Z quickly and comfortably adopts digital banking services. This brings the potential for greater financial inclusion among the younger generation.This study employed a quantitative approach with a causal purpose, applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The dependent variable (financial inclusion), the intervening variable (ease of use), and the independent variables (financial literacy, digital literacy, and social capital). This study, which includes 200 Bandung City-based Generation Z digital bank customers, uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) as its analytical tool. The study's findings demonstrate that Generation Z's digital bank customers in Bandung City already have very high levels of social capital, financial inclusion, digital literacy, and ease of use. Furthermore, it was shown that the effects of digital literacy, social capital, and financial literacy on financial inclusion might be moderated by simplicity of use. Financial inclusion is also significantly impacted directly by social capital, digital literacy, and financial literacy. It is intended that this research will provide a greater understanding of the variables impacting Generation Z's financial inclusion and how those characteristics may affect policies aimed at boosting the availability and use of financial services in the digital age.

Authors: Holanda Lucas , Rocha Ricardo
Published: November 2024

Humanity is currently experiencing an environmental crisis, and instruments are needed to enable the protection and preservation of the environment, such as economic instruments that make production and consumption choices more appropriate to these ends viable. Taxes are important mechanisms for environmental preservation in this system, and the Tax Reform brought a range of innovations regarding the issue, such as the tax principle of environmental protection and the tax authority to create the Selective Tax (IS) on the production, extraction, marketing or import of goods and services that are harmful to health or the environment. Environmental taxation, although effective and innovative, does not have effects as precise and predictable as command and control mechanisms, which requires greater caution in its implementation. The objective of the research is to structure the operating system that IS needs to have so that this instrument can operate in accordance with what is expected in terms of preservation and sustainability. The research is qualitative, explanatory, bibliographical and documentary in nature, and is based mainly on studies of Brazilian legislation, international reports, scientific reports of experiences with environmental taxes abroad and works that explore established concepts that are important for the study of environmental taxation. The results obtained were that the Selective Tax will be a tax with the potential to punish polluting activities, which could result in incentives for existing sustainable alternatives, as well as the discovery of new production paths, resulting in environmental preservation and technological innovation, provided that there is a due impact study in the drafting of complementary laws that will promote its regulation.

Published: November 2024

The present study aims to analyze, based on the Tax Reform, taxation as a tool for the development of smart cities. Therefore, the methods of inductive approach, comparative procedure and systematic interpretation were used. Tax Reform in Brazil is seen as fundamental to structuring and developing smart cities, seeking to implement fundamental rights in the face of contemporary challenges. Despite criticisms related to federalism, increased taxes on services and tax complexity, the reform is perceived as an opportunity to modernize the National Tax System, transforming taxation into a significant instrument for the advancement of smart cities. The creation of four new taxes (IBS, CBS, IS and CPPS) is considered a crucial step to simplify the system, reduce compliance costs and position Brazil as a reference in smart urban development. IBS and CBS stand out for clarifying the distinction between service and merchandise, providing greater legal certainty. The reduction of tax rates in essential sectors, such as health, education and mobility, encourages investments in these areas, while the creation of the Federative Council to manage the IBS nationally is seen as effective in promoting tax policies for smart cities. In short, the Tax Reform represents a change of mentality in the system, making taxation an effective development instrument aligned with constitutional principles, contributing to the reduction of social and regional inequalities and consolidating the dignity of the
human person.

Authors: Golding Paul
Published: November 2024

Since 2020 the number of countries and currency unions exploring the implementation of central bank digital currency (CBDC) has increased by approximately 300 percent. The literature shows an abundance of technical feasibility studies and a dearth of research on consumer adoption. This study investigates consumer adoption of CBDC in a market (Jamaica) in which it was already launched. Data was collected from 200 respondents based on a convenience sample. A conceptual model was constructed based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. To validate the model and test the six hypotheses we employed PLS-SEM partial least squares structural equation modeling. Three of the six hypotheses were supported: behavioral intention has a significant positive impact on user behavior, social influence had a significant positive impact on behavioral intention, and facilitating conditions has a significant positive impact on user behavior. Age and gender had no moderating effect. This is the first study done in a market where CBDC was implemented, done on consumers and provided jurisdictional recommendation to create network effects and increase adoption

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how the planning, implementation, supervision, and evaluation of decision-making in adhoc election supervisors in South Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi. Various phenomena that occur in this study are that the adhoc election supervisors in South Minahasa Regency often face dilemmas in decision-making, especially due to tight time pressure, limited resources, and interventions from various stakeholders. In addition, they are also faced with the challenge of maintaining integrity and professionalism amidst the complexity of the local political situation and conflicting interests. This phenomenon reflects how election supervisors must balance compliance with electoral regulations with the need to act quickly and effectively in the field. The current phenomenon of adhoc election supervisors in South Minahasa Regency is that there are allegations of bribery, not yet so skilled in the decision-making process, throwing responsibility to each other. This is evidenced by public distrust of adhoc election supervisors, with complaints. In the form of administrative weaknesses, coordination does not work, lack of transparency, teamwork is not effective and efficient and even the attitude of dropping each other among members is very thick. The research method used is qualitative research with purposive sampling technique. Informants are election supervisors in South Minahasa Regency. The results showed that 1) Planning in supervisory duties must be planned in accordance with the stages of supervision and existing regulations while coordinating and strengthening the regulatory understanding of the Election Supervisor with what is planned in the implementation of supervision; 2) Implementation Decision making must be in accordance with what is planned based on joint coordination so that what is planned can be implemented; 3) Supervision Decision-making is needed by adhoc supervisors in order to ensure that what is planned is in accordance with the data and what is planned; 4) Evaluating the results of supervision must be carried out by adhoc supervisors carried out in supervisory tasks from the results of tiered coordination, so that the time and results of the achievement of what is planned and decided later can be appropriate and have a positive impact on the institution.

Authors: Fuentes Lance Cary D.
Published: November 2024

The Philippines is one of the most climate change-vulnerable countries in the world. As the climate crisis pose physical and mental threats, it is crucial to understand the factors affecting environmental behavior. However, local studies on the role of Psychology in encouraging pro-environmental behaviors (PEB) appear to be few in the Philippines. This study was designed to determine the level and the predictive ability of climate change perception (CCP) and climate change anxiety (CCA) on PEB. A stepwise regression analysis was used on data collected from 430 stratified randomly sampled tertiary students in Bacolod city, Philippines who completed the Climate Change Perception Scale, Climate Change Anxiety Scale, and Pro-environmental Behavior Scale. Results showed that the parsimonious model that include climate change anxiety (t=13.585, p=.000) and climate change perception (t=6.409, p=.000) significantly predicted pro-environmental behaviors F(1, 426) = 115.284, p < .001, adj. R2 = .349. Further, findings indicate that 34.9% of the variance in the pro-environmental behaviors can be explained by the model. In conclusion, when tertiary students experience higher levels of climate change anxiety and perceive climate change as a significant threat, they are more likely to engage in pro-environmental behaviors. Results suggest a need for further research in determining other factors that predict PEB. This study contributes to the scarce literature on Environmental Psychology in the country.

The demographic change calls for the creation of age-friendly environments that result from the collaboration between several fields. Previous initiatives fostering age-friendly environments often had less-than-desired impact or reach due to financial and bureaucratic constraints. Additionally, territory-specific standards and needs hinder the replication of good practices. Based on a mixed-methods approach combining a narrative review of knowledge models followed by expert consultation, we propose a framework to maximise the sustainability of Smart Healthy Age-friendly Environment (SHAFE) initiatives by connecting local ecosystems and stakeholders, including underrepresented entities, and thus promote sustainable business models, to ensure the replicability, scalability, and sustainability – the Transnational Local-sphere Model. This social innovation framework goes beyond previously established helix frameworks, by incorporating fresh ideas on democratic policy making, transnational spanning, and inter-ecosystem collaboration, as well as emphasising the role of institutions, stakeholders, networks, and principles. The collaboration and competition between the different stakeholders ensure a value-driven, cost-effective, and inclusive intervention, maximising impact. The Transnational Local-Sphere Model can also be applied in the development of other social innovation initiatives that benefit a usercentred multi-stakeholder inter-ecosystem approach.

Authors: Setyaningrum Ganis , Juansih
Published: November 2024

The international community's initiatives to promote sustainable development, with a particular emphasis on gender equality under SDG 5, have garnered substantial recognition for women leadership. Women who hold leadership positions offer distinctive viewpoints that contribute to workplace positivity, innovation, and decision-making. Nevertheless, they encounter significantobstacles, such as underrepresentation, bias, and restricted opportunities for advancement. This study examines the challenges faced by women in their leadership careers and the influence of organizational practices. This investigation employs a library research methodology to investigate a variety of reference sources, such as books and prior research, in order to establish a theoretical framework regarding women's leadership. Content analysis is employed to synthesize and interpret pertinent data from sources published within the past decade, thereby guaranteeing the reliability of the information through expert commentary and inter-library checks. The article's objective is to investigate the internal and external challenges that women encounter in their pursuit of professional advancement, as well as the impact of organizational biases and stereotypes on their leadership roles. It suggests that these factors create barriers and imply implications for increasing the number of women leaders by reviewing literature on management and career studies. The results indicate that women's career advancement is substantially hindered by gender biases, stereotypes, and structural obstacles. Women's leadership aspirations are impeded by societal and organizational expectations, despite the progress made in gender equality. The study underscores the necessity of comprehensive strategies to eliminate these biases and foster inclusive leadership environments.
Working from Home During and After COVID-19: A Narrative Review of Its Multifaceted Impacts
Authors: Sfetcu Lucian
Published: November 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the global adoption of working from home (WFH), fundamentally altering organizational practices and employee experiences. This narrative review synthesizes current research on the multifaceted impacts of WFH during and after the pandemic, focusing on job satisfaction, productivity, work-family balance, collaboration, innovation, and motivation. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple academic databases, encompassing studies from January 2020 to July 2024 and covering diverse industries and employee demographics. Findings indicate that WFH offers numerous benefits, including increased flexibility, autonomy, and potential productivity gains. However, challenges persist, such as reduced social interaction, blurred work-life boundaries, and potential declines in collaboration and innovation. The effectiveness of WFH is influenced by factors like individual circumstances, job characteristics, technological infrastructure, and organizational support. Hybrid work models are emerging as potential solutions, balancing the advantages of remote work with the need for in-person collaboration. This review highlights the complexities of WFH and underscores the necessity for organizations to develop flexible, inclusive policies that address both employee preferences and operational needs. Further research is recommended to explore long-term impacts and best practices for integrating WFH into sustainable organizational strategies.

This study aimed to determine the level of implementation of the salt of the earth and the light of the world, the most dominant dimensions and backgrounds that influence the level of implementation of the salt of the earth and the light of the world based on Matthew 5:13-16, in order to realize religious moderation for the administrators of the Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB) and Christian Leaders in Banyumas Regency. From the results of the pre-survey, indications were found that there are still Christian leaders who have not implemented the salt of the earth and the light of the world. This study uses a quantitative method, by measuring Two Dimensions (D) in the concept of implementing the salt of the earth and the light of the world based on Matthew 5:13-16. The results of the study show that first, the level of implementation of the salt of the earth and the light of the world is in the moderate category. Second, the most dominant dimension is becoming the Light of the World (D2). The third dominant background category is the Length of Time as an Administrator / Serving (I10). Therefore, the level of implementation of the salt of the earth and the light of the world among the administrators of the Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB) and Christian leaders in order to realize religious moderation in Banyumas Regency needs to be increased, so that in the future it can be higher, and produce better quality of religious moderation for Christians and society in Banyumas Regency.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to explore the practice of the Sustainable Livelihood Tourism Framework (SLTF) in post-disaster management in the Mount Merapi area, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The focus of SLTF achievement in this study encompasses ecological, economic, sociocultural, and institutional dimensions. Research on the SLTF has indeed become a significant focus in tourism studies. However, most of these studies are confined to a single research methodology, resulting in limited scope and a lack of comprehensive discussion.  This study used a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design. The study found that tourism positively impacts the increase of economic activities in the community. However, on the ecological side, tourism presence degrades environmental quality due to issues such as carbon emissions, industrial waste, climate change, the greenhouse effect, illegal logging, and illegal mining. Furthermore, other policies were identified, such as mineral water mining permits that degrade the environment and the establishment of landfill sites in the Kaliurang area, which spoils the natural beauty. Tourism practices also have a negative impact on institutional aspects, as the community perceives government policies as too complex and not meeting their expectations. Lastly, in the socio-cultural aspect, tourism preserves traditional values, as tourists tend to respect them. This mixed-method approach underscores the need for balanced strategies that address environmental concerns while maximizing economic benefits, improving institutional involvement, and supporting socio-cultural enhancement.

Üniversite Kampüslerinde Çevreci Davranışların Belirleyicileri ve İyi Oluş Çıktıları
Authors: Sarı Erkin , Öner Özkan Bengi
Published: November 2024

İnsan kaynaklı iklim değişikliği ve çevresel bozulmanın olumsuz etkilerini daha yakından gözlemlediğimiz bu günlerde çeşitli bağlamlarda (ör., ev, iş yeri) çevre dostu uygulamaların teşvik edilmesinin önemi gitgide artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’deki iki devlet üniversitesinde (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi ve Selçuk Üniversitesi) öğrenim görmekte olan lisans öğrencilerinin (N = 520) kampüs içerisindeki çevreci davranışlarının belirleyicileri ve iyi oluş sonuçlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bulgularımız evrenselcilik değeri ve üniversite ile özdeşimin kampüs içinde sergilenen çevreci davranışları olumlu yönde yordadığını ve bu davranışları sergilemenin pozitif duygulanımı desteklediğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, mevcut literatürdeki çeşitli boşlukları (ör., üniversite ile özdeşimin çevreci davranışlar üzerindeki rolü, kampüs içi çevreci davranışlar ve psikolojik iyi oluş ilişkisi) doldurmakta ve kampüste sürdürülebilirliği sağlamak adına önemli çıkarımları (ör., kampüs atmosferinin kampüs sürdürülebilirliği için önemi) içerisinde barındırmaktadır.
