Authors: Helal Hesham A. , Ismail Rania F.
Published: June 2023

As climate change effect on our daily life is clear, and the awareness of greenhouse gases damages is increased, architects and many developers necessitate green and sustainable buildings design by focusing on energy efficiency, avoiding harmful materials, and taking care of indoor air quality to construct environmentally friend buildings. Also, adopting energy efficiency strategies and renewable energy applications in buildings design generally and particularly in commercial buildings will drop the produced amount of CO2 emissions, as well as operational emissions and embodied emissions are attributed to the building materials and energy required for construction.This research is proposing energy efficient commercial building design proposal as an approach to green architecture in Egypt. First, commercial buildings impact is studied, then choosing energy simulation tool to assess the solution as DesignBuilder software, the design of commercial building proposal respect the triple bottom line of sustainability, to introduce innovative, efficient and environmental building design respecting users’ needs and achieve high economic value, finally, after simulating the building model in DesignBuilder to reach the highest energy saving and ensure the thermal comfort for users, the design is evaluated by LEED criteria to measure the environmental impact of the building and indicate how this design is successful or not.Finally, this research focuses on proposing a design design cliteria and apply it on designing new commercial buildings to enhance the building performance and being environmentally integrated based on design design cliteria that represent the three major design principles and they are Nature, Culture and Art. Nature for respecting and integrating with the environment, Culture for respecting the location and user’s needs, Art for offering a unique architecture design leave strong mental image impression.

String graphs have the Erdős–Hajnal property
Authors: Tomon István
Published: June 2023

The following Ramsey-type question is one of the central problems in combinatorial geometry. Given a collection of certain geometric objects in the plane (e.g. segments, rectangles, convex sets, arcwise connected sets) of size

n

, what is the size of the largest subcollection in which either any two elements have a nonempty intersection, or any two elements are disjoint? We prove that there exists an absolute constant

c>0

such that if

\mathcal{C}

is a collection of

n

curves in the plane, then

\mathcal{C}

contains at least

n^{c}

elements that are pairwise intersecting, or

n^{c}

elements that are pairwise disjoint. This resolves a problem raised by Alon, Pach, Pinchasi, Radoičić and Sharir, and Fox and Pach. Furthermore, as any geometric object can be arbitrarily closely approximated by a curve, this shows that the answer to the aforementioned question is at least

n^{c}

for any collection of

n

geometric objects.
Simulation and Validation of the Isolation-Effect of Acoustic
Encapsulation Concepts Based on a Generic Electric Motor Housing
Authors: Abele Martin , Budnik Maximilian
Published: June 2023

Along with the increasing importance of battery electric vehicles for the
automotive industry, new challenges have emerged in the development process of
the acoustic behavior of the electric powertrain. One concern arises from the
high-frequency whining noise, either caused by the electric field of the motor
or by the gearbox. Noise is transmitted via two different paths, the
structure-borne path and the airborne path. The focus here is on the latter one,
which describes the radiated sound from the surface of the motor housing and the
transmission through the car body to the driver’s ear.

One possibility for reducing the effect of this acoustic radiation is the
application of passive acoustic noise control treatments. This is typically done
either by attaching secondary treatments on the vehicle-body side or by
encapsulating the motor directly. Depending on the applied material concept, the
motor-mounted encapsulation approach isolates the motor and/or adds absorption
to the engine bay.

To implement a process for the prediction of the acoustic isolation effect of
encapsulation in the early design stage, an investigation has been undertaken
where different material concepts are applied to a generic motor housing (GMH).
The isolation performance of these encapsulation concepts is evaluated by
exciting the housing with an electrodynamic shaker and measuring the radiated
sound power. First, the investigation is performed experimentally; afterward,
corresponding simulations are validated by test results. Various conclusions can
be drawn from this study for certain aspects of the process and the simulation
model.

The article discusses the structure and levels of supply chain formation as a logistics system from a systemic approach perspective. Research on the formation of logistics systems is important both theoretically and practically. The goal of the research is to improve the theoretical foundations of the formation of a multi-level supply chain model based on the concept of modeling viable systems. A supply chain model based on the methodological apparatus of cybernetic modeling of viable systems is proposed. The supply chain model is presented in the form of a subject (metasystem) and an object of management (operational element), which is proposed in the form of links-elements of the supply chain. This allows coordinating material and other flows in the supply chain, providing viable means of development and maintaining long-term business relationships, and achieving synergistic effects from the interaction between system links. Flows in this system are formed into a logistics chain, which generally combines producers, intermediaries, carriers, and consumers. Based on the structural-level and metasystemic approaches, the main levels and structure of the supply chain are defined. To form a multi-level supply chain model, a differentiation criterion for levels is proposed, which allows, in accordance with the metasystemic approach, to identify five levels of the supply chain - element, component, subsystem, system and metasystem. The multi-level model of an integrated supply chain requires the integration of various functional areas and their participants at all levels within a single supply chain for its optimization and can be applied to any enterprises. The proposed theoretical foundations make it possible to coordinate such management objects in the logistics system as interaction between chain participants, logistics functions, business processes, and create their specific structure and determine integration levels. The structure of the mechanism for forming the supply chain is proposed, which is based on five functions: planning, procurement, production, sales, returns. The feature of the proposed mechanism is that special attention is paid to information support. Generalizing the structure of the supply chain mechanism will improve the effectiveness of establishing logistics links for the enterprise.

Aim. In Georgia, the term “organizational culture” is new and, therefore, the practice in this direction is not so great.  It has been about 20-30 years since some companies started using organizational culture to focus on specific outcomes. The analysis of organizational culture should be equally relevant to all regions in the country so that the local community can better analyze its importance and recognize its need.

Research shows that there is a cultural difference in different branches of the same company according to the regions. The aim of the paper is to reflect the real situation in this area and to identify regional discrimination, if any. 

The main research object of the paper is the large employers in Georgia, which has branches in various regions. Based on the study of the research object, we will make an analysis of the regional differences in the level of development of organizational culture.

Government measures during the economic policy implementation should be based on the impact on economic growth and economic development. Moreover, as it is inevitable to have government expenditures, it is crucial to analyze what kind of relationship exists between economic growth and government expenditure. According to Keynes, government expenditure is the measure of the fiscal policy, On the other hand, according to Wagner, public spending is endogenous factor of economic development. There is no common attitude towards Wagner theory. Moreover, Wagner theory is considered to be valid for the long run period and results could be more valid in terms of economic as well as statistical interpretation, when longer time-series is taken. While exploting the dependence between economic growth and government spending, we should analyze the Armey-Rahn curve as well, which explains that up to some point, when government spending is increasing, economic activity is increasing as well, but then is starts to decline. The paper examines such dependence based on Wagner’s law and Keynes’s theory for Georgia, but using only capital spending as it is perceived as one of the main sources for economic growth. All the available data is used, during 1995-2022, for capital spending growth and economic growth indicators.

The results show that Wagner’s law is not fulfilled meaning that economic growth is depended variable and capital spending growth is explanatory. The impact on economic growth is observed after 3 years, which makes sense if we consider the nature of capital spending. However, we can say that due to the lack of data and only two variables included in the analysis, the results might not be relevant.

The tourism sector is a great contributor to the economy of Adjara region. The share of tourism is 14% in the gross domestic product (GDP) of the region, including accommodation, food, art, entertainment and recreation. After Covid-19 pandemic, the tourism started recovering since 2022, when more than 2 million foreign visits were recorded in the region. 58% of Adjara hotels are located in Batumi. Tourists, who are attracted by gambling business, namely by casinos, hold the quite large niche at the tourist market of Batumi. It is the gambling business that enables to load the international brand hotels during the off-season period. The given survey was aimed at analyzing of the gambling business role in the formation of revenues of Batumi city municipality and international brand hotels. Revenues received from fees paid for gambling business and income tax paid by casinos is important for the city budget. The casino has a special place in the additional income of the hotel. Hotel rooms, provided to casinos at a discount, become the guarantee for the stable occupancy. On average, casinos provide more than 50% of the annual occupancy index of hotels, which often gives the possibility to cover the hotel off-season operation charges. Regulation of the gambling business by the government enables to reduce its disadvantages. With a responsible approach to the gambling business, the role of casinos is huge in generating revenues for tourist destinations and businesses.

Published: June 2023

The prototype model presented in this paper proposes a solution for evaluating and preventing pressure ulcers in long-lasting bedridden patients. The system integrates various sensors capable of monitoring critical factors such as pressure, temperature, and moisture. These sensors are embedded within the prototype bed, allowing for the collection of real-time data concerning the patient's condition and identification of potential risk factors associated with pressure ulcer development. The bed is equipped with switches that facilitate the monitoring of the patient's mobility and activities. These switches can detect movements, providing valuable information on changes in posture, frequency of turning, and overall activity level. Through data analysis, the system can assess the probability of pressure ulcer occurrence, taking into account factors such as prolonged pressure on specific areas, excessive moisture levels, or extreme temperatures. This prototype model shows significant promise in preventing pressure ulcers among long-lasting bedridden patients. Continuous monitoring of the patient's physiological parameters and activity levels enables healthcare providers to receive timely alerts and intervene appropriately to mitigate the risk of pressure ulcers. Additionally, the system can generate informative reports and offer valuable insights into the patient's condition, assisting healthcare professionals in making informed decisions regarding patient care and preventive measures. Overall, this prototype model provides a comprehensive approach to evaluating and preventing pressure ulcers in long-lasting bedridden patients. By leveraging sensor technology and real-time data analysis, it has the potential to improve patient outcomes, enhance the quality of care, and reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers in this vulnerable population.

Authors: Y M Haritha , M V Sabeena
Published: June 2023

Concrete has a substantial impact on the environment. As cement is the main ingredient, whose production generates a significant amount of CO2. A small amount of nanoparticles added to concrete can change the nano-structure of cementitious materials, resulting in high durability. This present work explains the effects of using nano-silica material and polypropylene fibres in the traditional concrete mix. The Nano silica contents of 2%, 3%, and 4 % by replacing cement and polypropylene fibre with 0.1%, 0.15%, and 0.2% of the volume of concrete were considered. Various properties of concrete, such as flexural tensile strength, compressive strength, and split tensile strength were determined. Pullout tests (IS 2770 part 1: 1967) were also conducted to study the effect of nano silica and polypropylene fibre on the bond strength of the reinforcement bars and compared them with normal concrete. The tests are carried out at the casting age of 28 days. It is concluded that the use of nano-material and polypropylene fibres has a minute change in their compressive strength. The Split tensile strength and flexural tensile strength get enhanced by a considerable amount. The results of the study showed that the presence of both nano silica and polypropylene fibre in optimal percentages can improve the mechanical properties as well as bond strength of reinforcement bars embedded in concrete.

Published: June 2023

ICT convergence technology related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the social disaster of coronavirus are accelerating the metaverse society in the intelligent information society. Metaverse is also actively used in the field of public administration services, including the game and education industry. Since economic transactions and administrative services are actually carried out in the metaverse, the virtual world space of the metaverse is emerging as a legal challenge to how real world laws should be applied in the metaverse. The issue of taxation on acts or income in the virtual space of the metaverse and taxation when taxpayers use it as a tax haven are also emerging. In addition, XR is an invasive data collection and monitoring by facial recognition technology by VR headsets and AR glasses combined with other wearables, making privacy and privacy issues a legal challenge. In addition, the transition to an immersive virtual world using virtual reality headsets can be used for excessive advertising by collecting detailed information such as users' facial expressions, voices and accents, and vital signs than companies can collect through existing screens. In addition, if the Metaverse Act is enacted, whether the metaverse industry will be uniformly self-regulated or regulated self-regulation, the metaverse will be classified as 'illegal profit and harmful contents/services', 'freedom of expression, freedom of press and publication, freedom of business' (freedom of advertising), content/service related to privacy protection', and 'legal but harmful content/service', and it is a question of whether to regulate authoritatively, regulated self-regulation, or self-regulation according to the principle of proportionality. Therefore, in this paper, after examining the concept and characteristics of the metaverse and the current state of metaverse utilization in the public domain, the legal status of avatars in the metaverse, cybersecurity reinforcement issues in the metaverse, regulation of excessive advertising, and metaverse Review the legal tasks related to self-regulation issues and tax imposition issues that were regulated at the time of enactment of the law, and suggest tasks for improvement.

Abstract

Purpose: Indicators that will reveal the current situation are the most needed tool in policy and strategy development processes. A national and sectoral measurement model is required to the strengths and weaknesses of innovation policies and practices. Although models various models are developed to measure the innovation performance of the national health system, there is yet to be a widespread and inclusive model that can be adapted to every country. This study aims to develop a model framework that measures the innovation performance of the national health system and can be customized according to the institutions and country’s dynamics when necessary.

Method/Design/Methodology/Approach: Three models developed to measure the innovation performance of the national health system were examined by document analysis method and analyzed by content analysis method. Models designed to serve the same purpose were evaluated as holistic and inclusive. The results were subjected to a second analysis with the comparative analysis method.

Findings: A model that will measure the innovation performance of health systems in a country, Financing; Human Resources; working environment; Political and Legal Environment; Intellectual Property Rights (opportunities, facilitators, and intellectual resources); Information technologies; Cooperation Opportunities; R&D Activities; It has been seen that it can be evaluated in 10 dimensions, namely Service Delivery and Innovation Outputs.

Originality: A measurement model that measures the national innovation performance of country health systems and can be adapted to all countries has yet to be found. There needs to be a study in which existing models are evaluated together. It is an original research study that assesses the dimensions and criteria the measurement model will include and creates a framework. This framework can form a basis for measurement tools to be developed in a country-specific manner.

Nootropics, natural or synthetic substances that boost brain function and cognitive abilities, were investigated in this study. Specifically, the effects of Zingiber officinale and Centella asiatica extracts were compared to the standard nootropic piracetam. Both plant extracts demonstrated nootropic activity and contained phytochemicals like flavonoids, tannins, and saponins that protect the brain from oxidative damage. Sterols such as stigmasterol inhibiting acetyl CoA esterase activity were also present. Tests were conducted on rats given the extracts or piracetam daily for 7 to 21 days. High and low doses were used. Nootropic effects were measured using elevated plus maze and Morris water maze tests compared to controls. The results were promising: At higher doses, the extracts significantly reduced latency time to 21 ± 0.33 seconds compared to 33.33 ± 0.12 seconds for piracetam and 54 ± 0.08 seconds for controls. This suggests the plant extracts have considerable nootropic potential when administered at higher doses.

Published: June 2023

In recent years, along with the development trend of the Gig economy, app-based ride-hailing in Vietnam has been growing rapidly, especially in large cities. Related service activities such as passenger transportation, delivery of goods, food, payment, etc. have been expanding rapidly due to their convenience and specialization, which help save time and costs. App-based ride-hailing activities are becoming increasingly competitive with the participation of many major companies such as Grab, Gojek, Be, etc. with various policies and support to dominate the market share. The development of app-based ride-hailing is an inevitable trend as it creates a professionalization of the labor market, optimizing time, cost, and convenience for society. However, there are still some issues that need to be researched and improved for sustainable development of this field such as insurance policies, labor union activities, etc. for the participants.

What Types of Data Inform Strategic Factors Affecting Sustainability Decisions in Retail?
Authors: Joshi Surbhi , Staha Melissa
Published: June 2023

This paper begins by addressing the business case that a firm, in the retail context, must make to develop sustainability practices. The paper then discusses the strategic factors that shape sustainability decisions regarding the sustainability business case. These decisions are made by firms in the retail industry, with outcomes improving sustainability in processes that allow for innovation and advancements. It discusses internal and external factors, as well as background and driving information such as Stakeholder Theory and information on the retail industry itself. This paper details how data helps a firm transform their corporate strategies 

The paper then explores the importance of the data types which inform the aforementioned strategic factors, as well as metrics contributing to the awareness of firms. This creates evidence for a firms’ sustainability business case, detailing how this data helps a firm transform their corporate strategy, contrived from the strategic factors, into action items, which the majority of managers report on struggling with. 

This paper brings a new perspective by integrating strategic factors in sustainability, and data in retail on sustainability. This provides a clearer picture to firms on how to allocate their resources most effectively when deciding to, or attempting to, improve sustainability practices. Firms can use data to inform strategic decision making about and implementation of sustainable practices, including for resource allocation and supply chain analysis.
Fighting in the National Hockey League: Before, During, and After the Pandemic
Authors: Letterie Jenna , Joslin Cole , Sommers Paul Martin
Published: June 2023

Fighting has long been a tradition in the National Hockey League (NHL).  The impact of violence in the NHL on attendance has been widely studied.  But, one could only surmise the counterfactual of how empty arenas influence player behavior, that is, until 2020.  The COVID-19 pandemic forced NHL teams to severely limit attendance. The authors compare the proportion of regular season home games with at least one fight for each of the 31 NHL teams one season before, during, and one season after the 2020-21 NHL season.  Did the absence of fans impact fighting?  While there are few significant differences year to year (between 2019-20 and 2021-22), the incidence of fighting increased for most teams after fans were allowed back into arenas in 2021-22 compared to fighting one season before the COVID-19 NHL season without fans.
Effects of Adolescent Mental Health Conditions on Costs and Future Employment Status
Authors: Jia Leonardo , Vu Kathy
Published: June 2023

The World Health Organization defines mental health conditions to “include mental disorders and psychosocial disabilities as well as other mental states associated with significant distress, impairment in functioning, or risk of self-harm” (World Health Organization, 2022b). There has been an increasing trend of mental health conditions, specifically depression and anxiety, among adolescents (Racine et al., 2021). Previous studies typically look at the reverse effect (e.g. the effect of a worsening economy on adolescent mental health) or a more generalized effect (e.g. the effect of mental health conditions among all age groups on the whole economy). This review seeks to quantify the costs and effect on future employment status which adolescent mental health conditions have. While this review examines overall mental health conditions, it also specifies depression, anxiety, and psychological distress, along with general areas of mental health problems. Previous literature from the United States, Australia, and several European countries were reviewed using Google Scholar on costs on the indicators above. The results indicate that mental health conditions among adolescents increase costs to families and society while also hurting future employment status, and different types of mental health conditions have different levels of effects. Finally, we suggest specific areas needed for improvement in order to minimize the economic harms of mental health conditions in the researched areas.
The Aerospace Industry’s Impact on 20th Century American Society
Authors: Martins Aniket
Published: June 2023

Since the dawn of mankind, the stars have been an inspiration for humanity. From the studies of the Greeks and the observations of the Indians and Chinese to Da Vinci’s plans and the research of the Wright Brothers, exploring the sky, space and stars has always been at the forefront of human ingenuity. In the United States, the idea of flight exploration began in the early 1900s: a true embodiment of the American dream. This paper examines developments in politics, economics and social movements in 1900s America while contrasting claims with counter arguments and exposing continuities in U.S. history to discuss the impact of the aerospace and defense industry on U.S. society. From Women’s Rights and Civil Rights to military and economics, the growth of the aerospace and defense industry paralleled a period of radical growth for American society creating lasting changes in the process.
Effects of Parasocial Relationships and Identification with TV Characters on Teens
Authors: Grosskopf Lara
Published: June 2023

With the rise of “binge watching” and increasing use of social media, teens are interacting more with tv shows, or more specifically the characters. Previous research has identified that parasocial relationships (PSR) and identification impact loneliness, body image, and one’s personality and behaviors, but has failed to address the extent to which the effects are positive or negative. PSR and Identification have also not been studied together, despite the likelihood of someone who has formed a relationship with a character to also put themselves in the shoes of said character. My study addressed these gaps and aimed to explore the extent to which the effects of PSR and identification with tv characters are negative on teens ages 14-18. My study also explored the subquestion, are ineffective age-ratings a possible cause of any specific negative effects of PSR and/or identification? I conducted a phenomenological study using a quantitative survey method. I determined participants’ level of PSR and identification with their favorite tv-show character and the number of positive, negative, and neutral effects the phenomenons had on them. A strong correlation between one’s level of PSR and identification confirmed that the two should be studied together. However, no correlation was found between one’s level of PSR or Identification and the positivity or negativity of effects. My subquestion did reveal that PSR and identification pose a problem when with characters from shows rated for an older audience. These findings may have implications on the presence and use of parental controls on television.

Published: June 2023

This paper speaks about the effects of the Taliban returning to Afghanistan and its effects on the monetary and fiscalpolicies of the country. This paper provides adequate background information and context by talking about thehistorical overview of Afghanistan which includes the social, cultural, and geographical history. Consequently, italso exhibits the reasons that caused the Taliban to take over the country with reference to the U.S.A, 9/11 attacksand finally the return of U.S.A troops from Afghanistan in 2021. This paper then explains the meaning of monetaryand fiscal policy while enumerating the roles and tools of the policies and the functioning. It then compares themonetary and fiscal policy of Afghanistan before and after Taliban’s takeover due to the lack of official data andliterature, this paper also proposes to first estimate a Taylor rule for the central bank of Afghanistan prior to theTaliban’s takeover and then predict the central bank’s reaction function to current output and inflation. Acomparison between interest rates and current interest rates sheds more light on the impact of the Taliban overmonetary policy. Finally, the paper presents a macro snapshot, acting as a comparative study between the inflationof Afghanistan and its neighbours.
