Authors: Muhangi Bernard Wakabi , Iqbal Professor BadarAlam , Mulindwa Dr. Saturninus Kasozi
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study examined the moderation effect of stakeholder management on the relationship between managerial competencies and financial performance of MFIs in Uganda.
Materials and Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design, adopting a quantitative approach. This design was preferred because it does not require follow-up on the respondents as would be the case with a longitudinal design. The study used a structured self-administered questionnaire to collect data from the senior managers of 76 MFIs in Uganda. MFIs were selected using stratified simple random sampling while purposive sampling was applied to select senior management. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis using SPSS was employed to test the hypothesis. Hierarchical regression was preferred to other techniques because of its capacity to indicate what happens to the model as different predictor variables are introduced.
Findings: Empirical findings from this study revealed that the financial performance of MFIs in Uganda is explained by managerial competencies and the relationship is moderated by stakeholder management. The results concretize that managerial competencies and stakeholder management fuse to influence financial performance. The study revealed that managerial competencies (Î²= .65, p<.001) and stakeholder management (Î²=.61, p<.001) are significant antecedents, accounting for a substantial 58% of the variance in the financial performance of MFIs (R2=.58, p<.001).
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The present study has confirmed that managerial competencies are a multidimensional predictor comprising of skills, knowledge, and abilities of the management team. It emerged that stakeholder management is a potent predictor with the potential to strengthen the effect of managerial competencies on financial performance. The study addresses mixed findings in the literature on financial performance and confirms upper-echelons and the stakeholder theory.

Published: June 2024

One of the additive manufacturing techniques available is Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), which offers advantages in design flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to produce intricate designs. Therefore, FDM for the 3D-printed vehicle’s car spoiler is a subject that can be explored. The FDM technology can significantly reduce time and cost before mass production, and the vehicle’s car spoiler was used as the case study in this research. The research investigates the mechanical properties of various commercial PLA composite filaments, addressing the lack of specifications provided by manufacturers. Testing four types of filaments—PLA/bamboo, PLA/coconut, PLA/wood, and PLA/metal. This research also emphasizes the conceptual design generation and selection for the passenger vehicle’s spoiler. Five design concepts were generated using the morphological chart for the passenger vehicle’s spoiler. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method was used as the decision-making tool. As a result, PLA/metal, with 53.65 MPa and 70.23 MPa, showed the highest tensile and flexural strength values, respectively. Design concept 5 with the infill pattern of rib + I was the best from the finite element analysis (FEA) using SolidWorks simulation software. Finally, the TOPSIS technique revealed PLA/metal as the best PLA composite filament for car spoilers, scoring first in performance score with a value of 0.5774. This study demonstrates that by using a systematic approach, researchers may choose the best design concept and material choice by combining the conceptual design, experimental, simulation, and TOPSIS methods.

Authors: Farhan Muhammad , Mohammad Taha Mastura , Yusuf Yusliza , Azwan Sundi Syahrul , Zakaria Nazri Huzaimi
Published: June 2024

The environmental effect of a manufacturing or service method is determined by the resource and energy inputs and outputs at each point of the product’s life cycle. In Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), generally, the material used for fabrication is plastic, and the raising of interest from different backgrounds of users could increase the issue of plastic pollution. Therefore, many scholars have proposed an initiative to employ bio-composite in FDM. In this study, an environmental assessment of global warming potential and fine particulate matter emission from the fabrication of bio-composite filament FDM was performed through its life cycle analysis using GaBi Software. Initially, data on resources and energy inputs and outputs were gathered. The functional unit in this study was the 1.0 kg wood/PLA composite filament extruded using a twin-screw extruder. All wastes were collected and recycled. The fabricated composite filaments were transported by container ship with a capacity of 5000 – 200 000 dwt gross weight for 100 km within Malaysia. Based on the results from the GaBi dashboard, the FDM process of bio-composite filament has contributed as much as 138.7 kg CO2 eq on the global warming potential and 1.71e-4 kg N eq. on fine particulate matter by the electricity power generation in extrusion and printing processes. The main factor for this issue is the consumption of coal in electric power generation, which is considered a non-renewable resource. Therefore, it is recommended that natural fibers such as wood fiber be employed in the filament of FDM to reduce the environmental impact. As shown in the study, the materials contribute less to the impact. Further study is suggested to compare the FDM technology with conventional technology using similar materials.

Published: June 2024

When molten, used vehicle tyres are unable to decompose or be recycled. Despite global efforts to find new uses for these materials, many worn tyres are still dumped in landfills. Therefore, this study proposes using ground tyre rubber (GTR) as a fill material for recycled polypropylene 3D printing filament. The filament composite’s physical and mechanical properties will be assessed in this investigation. GTR is expected to give the filament elastic characteristics, which could lead to rubber-like filaments. This study filled recycled polypropylene (rPP) polymer matrix composites with GTR to make filament. The mechanical and physical properties of a 3D-printed specimen made from rPP and GTR filament with varying compositions were analysed. Compared to pure rPP, rPP/GTR samples with 3 wt% GTR had a maximum tensile strength of 716.76 MPa. The flexural test findings showed that rPP/GTR with 3 wt% GTR had the highest flexural strength at 80.53 MPa, followed by rPP/1 wt% GTR at 65.38 MPa. In physical tests, the rPP/GTR at 5 wt% GTR had the highest water absorption at 5.41 %, and the wt% of GTR connected directly with water absorption. This study has shown that affordable, environmentally friendly rPP/GTR filaments can be developed with less amount of GTR content (3 wt%) and used for 3D printing applications, helping to lessen the impact of plastic and waste while having valuable mechanical and physical properties that are comparable to those of the pure polypropylene material produced.
A questão do sacrifício em Feuerbach
Authors: Rocha Rafael Eros Oliveira
Published: June 2024

O artigo aqui exposto visa aclarar e estender a discussão proposta por Ludwig Feuerbach em sua obra O mistério do sacrifício ou O homem é o que come (1862). Duas questões norteiam e dividem os tópicos deste trabalho: 1. Qual o verdadeiro significado do sacrifício de comida e bebida; 2. Qual a distinção entre o sacrifício feito por pagãos e o feito por cristãos. A solução para ambas as questões encontrará solução no escrito supracitado e em demais textos de Feuerbach como seus Pensamentos sobre morte e imortalidade (1830) e sua Essência do cristianismo (1841). Assim, torna-se possível demonstrar como o aspecto materialista-fisiológico feuerbachiano traduz o problema religioso do rito sacrificial para a linguagem antropológica ao por a própria como solução para os mistérios da fé.

extralimitación manifiesta en el ejercicio del Derecho como presupuesto del Abuso del Derecho
Authors: Cuadra Fedee Marcial
Published: June 2024

RESUMEN
El Derecho, como ordenamiento y sistema coherente, unitario, no puede funcionar en donde los particulares lo perciban como un instrumento para generar amedrentamiento o intimidación. Cuando este pierde su característica, la objetividad y su connotación como método herero compositivo para la solución de los conflictos convertidos en litigios, es  de entender que este afecte el denominado Estado de Derecho. El artículo analiza jurídicamente la extralimitación manifiesta en el ejercicio del derecho como presupuesto del abuso del Derecho en el contexto jurídico nacional e internacional, mediante un estudio documental no experimental, descriptivo. De los resultados surge que hay dos formas de incurrir en la extralimitación en el ejercicio del Derecho, de lo que se concluye que la extralimitación en el ejercicio del Derecho ocurre al rebasar los límites legales, causando perjuicio a otros derechos, pero que también se da al utilizar normas para obstaculizar el ejercicio de derechos ajenos, fundamentos se les considera como un tema propio de la Teoría General del Derecho, resultando aplicable a todo el ámbito del Derecho, por lo que se trata de un postulado general con aspectos comunes y otros específicos, según la rama a la que se refiera.

Effects of radiative cooling on advection fog over the northwest Pacific Ocean: observations and large-eddy simulations
Authors: Yang Liu , Ding Saisai , Liu Jing-Wu , Zhang Su-Ping
Published: June 2024

Abstract. During boreal summer, prevailing southerlies traverse the sharp sea surface temperature (SST) front in the northwest Pacific (NWP) Ocean, creating a stable air–sea interface characterized by surface air temperature (SAT) higher than SST, which promotes the frequent occurrence of advection fog. However, long-term shipborne observations reveal that during episodes of advection fog, SAT usually decreases below SST, with a peak relative frequency (∼ 34.5 %) in all fog observations before sunrise and a minimum relative frequency (∼ 18.8 %) before sunset. From a Lagrangian perspective, this study employs a turbulence-closure large-eddy simulation (LES) model to trace a fog column across the SST front and investigates how SAT drops below SST during an advection fog event. The LES model, incorporating constant solar radiation, successfully simulates the evolution of advection fog and the negative difference between SAT and SST. Simulation results show that once the near-surface air condenses, thermal turbulence is generated by strong longwave radiation cooling (LWC) at the fog top. The influence of LWC on the fog layer surpasses the cooling effect of the near-surface mechanical turbulence ∼ 2 h after the fog formation while the fog column is still positioned over the SST front. When the fog column arrives at the cold flank of the SST front, the top-down-developing mixed layer induced by the LWC reaches the surface, causing SAT to drop below SST. The LES model with diurnal solar radiation successfully simulates the observational diurnal variation in SAT and SST (SAT-SST) during the fog event, suggesting that the model captures the essential processes responsible for negative SAT-SST. This study highlights the significance of fog-top cooling and its associated thermal turbulence in the evolution of advection fog. Given the challenges faced by numerical weather prediction models in forecasting sea fog, our findings suggest that observations of negative SAT-SST during advection fog episodes present an opportunity to enhance the performance of these models in simulating the thermal turbulence induced by the LWC at the fog top.

Abstract. The ice phase in clouds is essential for precipitation formation over continents. The underlying processes for ice growth are still poorly understood, leading to large uncertainties in precipitation forecasts and climate simulations. One crucial aspect is the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen (WBF) process, which describes the growth of ice crystals at the expense of cloud droplets, leading to a partial or full glaciation of the cloud. In the CLOUDLAB project, we employ glaciogenic cloud seeding to initiate the ice phase in supercooled low-level clouds in Switzerland using uncrewed aerial vehicles with the goal of investigating the WBF process. An extensive setup of ground-based remote-sensing and balloon-borne in situ instrumentation allows us to observe the formation and subsequent growth of ice crystals in great detail. In this study, we compare the seeding signals observed in the field to those simulated using a numerical weather model in large-eddy mode (ICON-LEM). We first demonstrate the capability of the model to accurately simulate and reproduce the seeding experiments across different environmental conditions. Second, we investigate the WBF process in the model by comparing the simulated cloud droplet and ice crystal number concentration changes to in situ measurements. In the field experiments, simultaneous reductions in cloud droplet number concentrations with increased ice crystal number concentrations were observed, with periods showing a full depletion of cloud droplets. The model can reproduce the observed ice crystal number concentrations most of the time; however, it cannot reproduce the observed fast reductions in cloud droplet number concentrations. Our detailed analysis shows that the WBF process appears to be less efficient in the model than in the field. In the model, exaggerated ice crystal number concentrations are required to produce comparable changes in cloud droplet number concentrations, highlighting the inefficiency of the WBF process in the numerical weather model ICON.

Abstract. FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 radio occultation (RO) measurements show promise for observing the deep troposphere and for providing critical information on the Earth's planetary boundary layer (PBL). However, refractivity retrieved in the low troposphere can have severe biases under certain thermodynamic conditions. This research examines the characteristics of the deep tropospheric biases and presents methods for estimating the region-dependent refractivity bias using statistical regression models. The results show that the biases have characteristics that vary over land and oceans. With substantial correlation between local spectral width (LSW) and bias, the LSW-based bias estimation model can explain the general pattern of the refractivity bias but with deficiencies in measuring the bias in the ducting regions and in certain areas over land. The estimation model involving the relationship with temperature and specific humidity (TQ) can capture the large biases associated with ducting. Finally, a minimum variance estimation that combines the LSW and TQ provides the most accurate estimation of the refractivity bias.

Abstract. Present-day fire frequency is related to a productivity–aridity gradient on regional and global scales. Optimum fire conditions occur at times of intermediate productivity and aridity, whereas fire is limited at the high productivity (moisture) and aridity (no fuel) endmembers. However, the current global fire activity pattern is reinforced by the predominant burning of grasslands. Here we test the intermediate fire–productivity hypothesis for a period on Earth before the evolution of grasses, the Early Jurassic, and explore the fire regime of two contrasting climatic states: the cooling of the Late Pliensbachian Event (LPE) and the warming of the Sinemurian–Pliensbachian Boundary (SPB). Palaeo-fire records are reconstructed from fossil charcoal abundance, and changes in the hydrological cycle are tracked via clay mineralogy, which allows inference of changes in fuel moisture status. Large fluctuations in the fossil charcoal on an eccentricity timescale indicate two modes of fire regime at the time. Wildfires were moisture-limited in a high-productivity ecosystem during eccentricity minima for both the SPB and the LPE. During eccentricity maxima fires increased, and an optimum fire window was reached, in which periodically greater seasonality in rainfall and temperatures led to intermediate states of productivity and aridity. The LPE experienced more extreme climatic endmembers compared to the SPB, with the fire regime edging closer to “moisture limitation” during eccentricity minima, and experienced more pronounced seasonality during eccentricity maxima, explained by the overall cooler climate at the time. This study illustrates that the intermediate-productivity gradient holds up during two contrasting climatic states in the Jurassic.
HESS Opinion: Floods and droughts – Land use, soil management, and landscape hydrology are more significant drivers than increasing temperatures

Abstract. Floods, droughts, and heatwaves are increasing globally. This is typically attributed to CO2-driven climate change. However, at the global scale, CO2-driven climate change neither reduces precipitation nor adequately explains droughts despite the modest increase in evapotranspiration due to temperature rise. Past land-use changes, particularly soil sealing, compaction, and drainage, are likely more significant for water losses by runoff leading to flooding and water scarcity. The importance of these processes is generally poorly addressed in modeling because hydrological models rarely reflect lateral fluxes in the atmosphere, on the soil surface, and in the soil. Land use is only considered in coarse categories, and neighborhood effects and feedback mechanisms are neglected. However, even if models fail and if we cannot create landscape experiments, there is sufficient evidence that land use is an important part of the problem and of the solution to mitigate floods, droughts, and heatwaves. Addressing land-use changes is imperative as they persist even with zero net CO2 emissions, making the world more vulnerable.
