An approach based on gamma-ray transmission technique and artificial neural network for accurately measuring the thickness of various materials
Authors: Trang Le , Linh Nguyen , Thanh Tran , Tam Hoang , Chuong Huynh
Published: November 2024

This paper presents an approach based on the gamma-ray transmission technique
and artificial neural network for accurately measuring the thickness of
various materials in flat sheet form. The gamma-ray transmission system
comprises a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector coupled with a 137Cs radioactive
source. The artificial neural network model predicts the sample thickness
through three input features: mass density, linear attenuation coefficient,
and ln(R) - where R represents the ratio of areas under the 662 keV peak in
spectra acquired from measurements with and without the sample. The
artificial neural network model was trained using simulation data generated
by MCNP6 code, facilitating the creation of comprehensive datasets covering
diverse material types and thickness variations at a low cost.
Hyperparameters of the artificial neural network model were defined by
several optimization methods, such as hyperband-bayesian, tree-structured
Parzen estimator, and random search, to establish an optimal artificial
neural network architecture. Subsequently, the optimal artificial neural
network model was deployed to predict the thickness of graphite, aluminum,
copper, steel, and polymethyl methacrylate sheets, using input data obtained
from the experiments. The results showed a good agreement between predicted
and reference thicknesses, with a maximum relative deviation of 1.94 % and
an average relative deviation of 0.52%.
Relation of the ambient dose equivalent rate in air and the amount of precipitation during environmental monitoring in the vicinity of nuclear facilities
Authors: Radumilo Vesna , Djaletic Milos , Janicijevic Aco
Published: November 2024

Environmental radiation monitoring involves measuring the level of
radioactive contamination of the air, including the relevant
meteorological measurements at the micro-location type of measurements,
which are essential for evaluating the extent of environmental factors and
effectively managing the exposure of the population and the impact on the
environment. These measurements are crucial in ensuring a comprehensive
understanding of the ecological conditions and facilitating informed
decision-making to safeguard the well-being of communities and ecosystems.
This paper shows the relation between the change of ambient dose equivalent
H*(10) rate in the air and precipitation due to washing out and rainout in
the atmosphere. Measurements were made in the vicinity of nuclear
facilities within the public company Nuclear Facilities of Serbia at the
weather station mounting pole 114 m above sea level. To illustrate the
relationship between the measured ambient dose equivalent H*(10) rate and
precipitation levels, a variation of these values was employed specifically during the most rain-laden months in 2019 and 2020. Besides, an
interlaboratory comparison was conducted to ascertain the system's
operational validation. A thorough examination of this ratio distinctly
reveals the impact of heavy rainfall on the ambient dose equivalent H*(10)
rate, thereby rationalizing the observed elevated values. Importantly, these
heightened readings were not attributed to any inadvertent release of
radioactive effluents from nuclear facility operations in this particular
instance.

Published: November 2024

This paper aims to describe the photon beam characteristics in terms of
energy and angular distribution during breast megavoltage photon
radiotherapy of pregnant patients. Photon beam characteristics are
investigated at treatment volume (breast) and the position of the fetus in
the Tena phantom using Monte Carlo simulation. Photon beam energy spectra
are compared across various materials used as substitutes for constructing
physical and computational phantoms. Mean energies calculated in
substitute materials developed by our group and used to build the Tena
phantom, differ up to 10 % from the calculated ones in ICRU reference
tissue materials. It was found acceptable since this is less than the
differences between ICRP and ICRU materials. Then, the photon beam
characteristics are investigated in the anthropomorphic phantom, Tena.
Photon beam mean energy in the fetal region of the phantom (out-of-field) is
significantly lower (more than 1 MeV) than at the breast position
(in-field). The angular distribution of the photon beam at the breast
position predominantly shows a forward direction, whereas, at the fetus
position, the distribution is more scattered. When selecting a detector,
it is crucial to consider the differences in photon energy and angular
distributions between in-field and out-of-field measurement points to
reduce measurement uncertainties and ensure reliable data.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study is to observe the bone healing process of a guided periradicular surgery, performed in the endodontics postgraduate course of the Saint Thomas University, in which an osteotomy was performed for a bone window with erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (Erbium,Chromium:YSGG) laser (can also be written as Er,Cr:YSGG laser), and the healing process was evaluated by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) during the first four months after surgery.
Materials and Methods: After completing the clinical history and studying the CBCT scans, a patient was selected with a diagnosis of symptomatic apical periodontitis, periapical lesion less than 5mm with intact vestibular cortex that required periradicular surgery due to the presence of an adapted fixed prosthesis and the proximity of the mental foramen to the apex of the tooth to be treated. The treatment plan was established, the surgical guide was designed and the osteotomy was performed with Erbium,Chromium:YSGG laser. The size of the periradicular lesion and the bone density of the surgical area were measured at four points in time: pre-surgical (T0) and post-surgical at 24 hours (T1), at 4 months (T2) and at one year.
Results: Bone density measured in Hounsfield units (HU) on CBCT in the axial section showed preoperative values in the vestibular apex of 1478 and 1435 HU, at 24 hours after surgery -95 and -210 HU, and in the control at 4 months of 992 and 860 HU. In the coronal slice in the mid vestibular area at the apex level, a preoperative value (T0) of 1335 HU was reported, at 24 hours (T1) -18 HU and at 4 months 1269 HU. At one year of evolution, greater bone density was evidenced comparing between month 4 and month 12.
Conclusions: By performing a surgical procedure with guided technique and Erbium,Chromium:YSGG laser for the osteotomy, the adverse effects of the surgical procedures are reduced, achieving results with greater accuracy and better prognosis.

Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pendirian gereja online sebagai media alternatif untuk beribadah selama pandemi COVID-19, dengan fokus pada pendekatan umat beragama di era digital. Studi kasus difokuskan pada Gereja Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) Cilegon, yang mengalami kesulitan untuk mengakses gereja fisik di Cilegon. Pandemi COVID-19 menjadi momentum yang tepat untuk merealisasikan ibadah online, mengingat sebagian besar gereja telah menjalankan ibadah online selama kurang lebih dua tahun terakhir. Rekomendasi yang dihasilkan adalah mendirikan gereja online yang melibatkan seluruh jemaat HKBP Cilegon dengan kepemimpinan yang diakui dan terdaftar secara resmi. Jika peraturan dan regulasi HKBP dapat memungkinkan hal tersebut, maka akan menjadi gereja online pertama di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif terhadap sumber berita online dan literatur pendukung. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi positif dalam mengatasi sulitnya mengakses gereja fisik di masa pandemi dan membantu menengahi ketegangan antar umat beragama. Keterbatasan dari penelitian ini adalah fokus pada HKBP Cilegon sebagai studi kasus, dan penelitian mendalam mengenai dampak gereja online di masyarakat Indonesia yang lebih luas akan menjadi studi lanjutan yang menarik.

Published: November 2024

Berteologi secara kontekstual artinya memahami dan berefleksi secara kritis atas iman Kristiani melalui konteks tertentu. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan analisis teologi kontekstual pada tataran model praksis terhadap aksi revitalisasi budaya masohi oleh jemaat GPM Lilama sehingga nilai-nilai luhur yang terkandung dalam budaya masohi terus dihidupi di tengah warga Jemaat GPM Liliama. Budaya masohi merupakan kegiatan bekerjasama yang dilakukan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, maupun bergereja untuk menyelesaikan sebuah pekerjaan. Menanggapi situasi problematika yang terjadi dalam penerapan budaya masohi di jemaat GPM Liliama, yakni: terjadinya pergeseran nilai-nilai dari budaya masohi, mengarahkan gereja untuk terus berefleksi dan mengupayakan pemurnian atau aksi revitalisasi terhadap nilai-nilai dalam budaya masohi itu sendiri. Berdasarkan hal ini, maka penulis melakukan penelitian dengan tinjauan teologi kontekstual model praksis Stephan Bevans. Selanjutnya, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif untuk memahami fenomena-fenomena yang terjadi melalui gambaran yang analitis dan kompleks yang dapat disajikan dengan kata-kata, dan memberikan laporan pandangan secara rinci. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa jemaat GPM Liliama telah melakukan refleksi terhadap aksi budaya masohi yang mengalami pergeseran nilai-nilai luhur. Oleh sebab itu, jemaat GPM Liliama mengupayakan aksi yang baru sebagai bentuk respons terhadap refleksi atas aksi yang sebelumnya. Sampai di sini, maka tampak bahwa jemaat GPM Liliama sudah berteologi kontekstual dalam tataran model praksis. Jemaat GPM Liliama menyadari akan penyimpangan pada aksi pergeseran nilai-nilai dalam budaya masohi dan kemudian melakukan aksi revitalisasi kembali, sehingga mengukuhkan identitas nilai-nilai luhur dalam budaya masohi yang tampak dalam kehidupan jemaat GPM Liliama.

Published: November 2024

Hukum Gereja hingga saat ini sering kali masih sulit untuk dipahami. Hal ini berdampak juga pada pengaplikasiannya. Terdapat beberapa aturan yang sulit untuk diaplikasikan dalam situasi tertentu. Hal ini disebabkan oleh ketidaksesuaian konteks karena hukum yang diformulasikan berdasarkan konteks tertentu, diaplikasikan pada konteks yang berbeda. Pertanyaan pokok artikel ini adalah apakah ada cara atau norma yang tepat untuk menjadi pedoman dalam memahami dan mengaplikasikan aturan yang terkadang tidak kontekstual? Bagaimana cara mengatasi ketegangan antara hukum dan realitas atau hukum dan subjek moral? Metode kepustakaan atau Library research akan digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut. Menurut Thomas Aquinas, Epikeia adalah sebuah keutamaan yang berkaitan dengan Keutamaan keadilan hukum. Epikeia sebagai keutamaan akan membantu kita dalam mengaplikasikan norma moral yang relevan dalam siatuasi konkret. Keutamaan ini hadir untuk menyelamatkan agen moral terutama ketika ia dihadapkan pada konflik antara esensi hukum atau aturan yang tertulis.

Exile's Bread: on the Problem of the Effectiveness of Popularization of Historical Knowledge
Authors: Krikh S.B.
Published: November 2024

The utilization of digital and public history offers significant opportunities for popularizing historical knowledge, particularly through video projects. Digital history leverages modern technology and the internet to research, present, and disseminate historical data, while public history focuses on engaging a broader audience beyond academic circles. Video projects emerge as one of the most effective tools for history popularization due to their visual and emotional appeal. Short documentaries, historical lectures, animated clips, and expert interviews can capture and sustain the interest of diverse age groups and social backgrounds. This article presents an analysis of the experience in creating the popular science history project “Exile's Bread: A Conversation About Historian Emigrants”, prepared with the support of the Russian Heritage Foundation. The project consists of seven videos: six of them narrate the fates of historians who emigrated from Russia and the USSR, while one video serves as a summary, highlighting the general issues of academic migration. The project preparation was carried out in three stages. The first stage involved the preparation of materials that formed the basis of the texts about academic migration and historian emigrants. The second stage involved meticulous work with the texts for the upcoming videos. The third stage involved visualizing the text and creating the videos. Another important aspect was the quality of the materials used and their historical accuracy. The final part of the article presents an analysis of the feedback we received. This information was gathered through a series of interviews with our viewers. This valuable information will help us understand the direction to take in the future and how to improve popular science content.

The Russian Population of Tatarstan: Evolution of Research Optics and Scientific Discourse at the End of 18th - Beginning 21st Century
Authors: Kozlov V.E. , Titova T.A.
Published: November 2024

This article presents the analysis of scientific works on the Russian population before the period from the end of the 18th century to the present at the territory of the Kazan province, later called TASSR and the Republic of Tatarstan. The aim of the research is to try and comprehend the mechanisms and methods of articulation of the object of scientific analysis and domestic ethnology (Ethnography) on the example of ethnographic group of russians in Tatarstan and history of their research. The authors offer the periodization of the study of russians based on the subject-methodical principle, which considers features of the topic in the description of the russian population that prevailed in a specific time period, as well as the methods of study, which were used at the time to collect and analyze the material. The Bourdieu's structural-genetical approach became the methodological basis, which was used to describe and systematize the data. Based on the analisys of the main source body and the literature which were dedicated to the russian population of the area, authors highlighted 5 steps in the ethnographic study of the russians. Every step had it's feauters,which were expressed in the predominant focus of the research interest and related discourse of the material representation. In conclusion, the authors note the ambiguous nature of local russian population's ethnographic study history. It is said that along with the obvious qualitive take-offs in specific periods of time, most of the time was documented theoretical and practical stagnation. We see the reasons of it not only in subjective opinions of the scientific society representatives but also in objective historical processes, which the Russian Empire, then USSR and Russia had to go through. With regard to the described problem, the solution is seen in the position of the ethnologist himself, who has to maintain open mind regarding the object of interest without falling into romantic ethnographic reductionism or excessive theoretical post-configuration.
Ethno-Demographic and Migration Situation in the Novosibirsk Region: Challenges and Risks
Authors: Shevtsova E.V.
Published: November 2024

The Novosibirsk region is a border region experiencing significant migration pressure, which leads to a change in the ethnic structure of the population, which entails certain risks in the field of interethnic and interfaith relations. Migrants predominantly come to the Novosibirsk region to work, but there is also a significant flow of foreign citizens who receive citizenship and become citizens of the Russian Federation, while poorly adapting and integrating into the host community, which entails risks of enclavization and ethnicization of the urban space, which in turn complicates relations with the local population. In this article, the author analyzed data from the All-Russian Population Census regarding the ethno-demographic and migration situation in the region, analyzed the current ethno-demographic and migration situation, as well as analyzed emerging risks associated with the processes of ethnicization and enclavization in the region. Having analyzed the ethno-demographic and migration situation, we come to the conclusion that with the development of diaspora and migration processes, a change in the appearance of the Novosibirsk region and Novosibirsk becomes obvious: new symbols, values and traditions associated with different cultures and religions appear in the urban environment. All this leads to certain risks that can complicate the interethnic situation and contribute to the emergence of interethnic conflicts; in connection with this, the author proposes measures to prevent these risks.

Authors: Altynbayeva Gulnara , Kuzmin Sergey , Kramsakov Damir
Published: November 2024

A new environmentally friendly container technology has been developed for lifting rock mass at quarry dumps using mobile complexes, which can reduce environmental pollution, improve mining regimes and reduce lifting costs. Container delivery of rock mass involves a single removal of the container and its lifting by lifting machines with a minimum tare coefficient. All equipment of the transfer point is placed on self-propelled carts, which allows for quick movement to a new location. The screen and jaw crusher, which are part of the equipment of the transfer unit, prepare the rock for loading into containers. Filled containers are transported to the unloading site using a conveyor belt and a lifting machine. The container’s hydraulic system allows for automatic unloading of the rock mass. The simplicity of the design of the developed equipment allows it to be manufactured directly at the mining enterprise itself.

Published: November 2024

Изучение быта древнего и средневекового населения является одной из важных направлений в археологии. Сюда входит и выявление, а также последующая реконструкция жилых сооружений. Это может свидетельствовать о жизни различных народов на протяжении веков, навыков в сооружении различных построек, а также эволюции в домостроительстве. Особенно видно усложнение типов жилья в Средние века, происходившее на территории Восточной Европы. Интересным свидетельством этого являются остатки городских жилых объектов, выявляемых в ходе археологических раскопок. В связи с этим, важным показателем тому могут быть жилые сооружения крупных центров, которые представляют собой лучшее подтверждение строительных знаний оставившего их населения. Так на территории Болгарского городища уже на протяжении нескольких десятков лет продолжается выявление и изучение остатков жилищных построек, выявляются их конструктивные особенности, составляется свод и типология. Поэтому публикуемый автором новый материал позволяет дополнить сведения, касающиеся столь интересных объектов строительства.

Ubóstwo energetyczne jako wielopoziomowy problem społeczny
Authors: Rewizorski Marek
Published: November 2024

W artykule zwrócono uwagę na zagadnienie ubóstwa energetycznego jako wielopoziomowego (globalnego, regionalnego, lokalnego) problemu społecznego oraz na jego niewystarczającą identyfikację, definicję i rozwiązywanie. Przyjęto perspektywę polityki publicznej opartej na dowodach, aby pełniej rozpoznać ubóstwo energetyczne i tym samym zaproponować skuteczne rozwiązania w tym obszarze. Autor argumentuje, że osiągnięcie priorytetu polityki energetycznej Polski, jakim jest redukcja ubóstwa energetycznego o 30% do 2030 r., wymaga opracowania mechanizmu praktycznej identyfikacji gospodarstw domowych dotkniętych ubóstwem energetycznym, tak aby można było do nich dotrzeć w ramach kompleksowego systemu przeciwdziałania omawianemu zjawisku, opartego na szerokopasmowej debacie organów administracji publicznej, środowisk eksperckich, samorządów lokalnych i społeczeństwa obywatelskiego.
Back to the past – Chances of Restoring Monarchy in Romania in the 21st Century
Authors: Bieniek Barbara
Published: November 2024

W Europie jest dwanaście monarchii. Wyliczenie to dotyczy jednak wyłącznie państw posiadających królewską głowę państwa i nie dotyczy republik, które wykazują rosnącą aprobatę dla przywrócenia monarchii, jak na przykład Rumunia. Aby wyciągnąć ostateczne wnioski, przeprowadziłem dziewięć wywiadów z rumuńskimi badaczami i ekspertami tematyki monarchii w Rumunii. Artykuł ten jest efektem projektu „Wtedy i teraz – rumuńska tradycja monarchiczna i tendencje promonarchistyczne w społeczeństwie rumuńskim” zrealizowanego podczas krótkotrwałej wizyty na Uniwersytecie w Bukareszcie w Rumunii (od 1 do 30 listopada 2021 r.) zorganizowanego i sfinansowanego ze środków Programu Wymiany Studentów i Naukowców w ramach współpracy dwustronnej (NAWA). Ostateczne wyniki pokazują, że pomimo istnienia pewnych przeszkód społeczno-prawnych, monarchię ponownie uznawano za realny system polityczny w Rumunii w miejsce republiki.

Published: November 2024

Celem artykułu jest analiza polityki migracyjnej Polski ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem polityki imigracyjnej Polski wobec migrantów z Ukrainy na przykładzie działań samorządu województwa pomorskiego. Przedstawiono zmiany w polskiej polityce migracyjnej oraz ukazano działania samorządu województwa pomorskiego mające na celu adaptację i integrację imigrantów/uchodźców z Ukrainy ze społeczeństwem polskim. W artykule postawiono tezę, że zmiany w polskiej polityce migracyjnej mają związek z problemami demograficznymi i potrzebami rynku pracy w Polsce. Kryzys migracyjny w 2015 roku wpłynął na zmiany w regulacjach prawnych ułatwiających imigrantom z Ukrainy osiedlanie się i pracę w Polsce. Ustawa z dnia 12 marca 2022 r. o pomocy obywatelom Ukrainy w związku z konfliktem zbrojnym na terytorium tego państwa potwierdziła otwartość Polski na przybyszów z Ukrainy. W województwie pomorskim uchwałą Zarządu Województwa Pomorskiego powołano Zespół Zadaniowy ds. Regionalnej Polityki Migracyjnej, którego zadania obejmują wymianę informacji, działania w zakresie integracji imigrantów, doświadczeń pomiędzy jednostkami samorządu lokalnego, krajowego i międzynarodowego.

Authors: Helzhynska Tetiana
Published: November 2024

Стаття присвячена вивченню проблеми підготовки науково-педагогічних працівників до академічного підприємництва. Виконано аналіз науково-педагогічної літераутри з проблеми дослідження та нормативної бази, в якій визначено поняття “науково-педагогічний працівник”, “професійний розвиток” тощо. Представлено авторське бачення проблеми розгляду професійного розвитку науково-педагогічних працівників на двох рівнях. На індивідуальному професійний розвиток науково-педагогічного працівника розглядається як система, що характеризується наявністю мети і завдань, змістового й операційного компонентів, які використовуються для досягнення професійної майстерності фахівця. На організаційному – це система, в основу якої покладено теорії, концепції, ідеї неперервної освіти та кращі практики сучасного університету, нормативно-правова база вищої освіти, а також ефективний інструментарій розвитку людського капіталу з метою забезпечення конкурентоздатності як окремої особистості, так і організації загалом. У дослідженні підготовка до академічного підприємництва обґрунтовується як спеціально організована система заходів, основною метою якої є формування готовності науково-педагогічних працівників до реалізації академічного підприємництва, що передбачає освоєння, поглиблення, розширення відповідних знань, формування, розвиток, удосконалення умінь і навичок, необхідних для акумулювання внутрішніх і зовнішніх ресурсів, людського капіталу з метою забезпечення внутрішніх потреб університету, освітніх, наукових, технологічних, інноваційних запитів суспільства та економіки знань, різних галузей науки, капіталізації власного інтелектуального потенціалу.
MODERN CONCEPTS OF THE HUMANISTIC APPROACH IN EDUCATION
Authors: Hasanova Gulshan Ogtay
Published: November 2024

Сучасною тенденцією в освіті є так звана гуманізація – гуманізація виховних відносин; визнання цінності особистості; права на свободу, щастя, соціальний захист людини; та розвитку своїх здібностей та індивідуальності. У системі освіти це передбачає перехід до системи співпраці, яка сприяє якісному формуванню нових особистісних якостей учнів шляхом оновлення змісту, форм і методів навчання.
Метою дослідження є вивчення сучасних концепцій гуманістичного підходу в освіті. Під час дослідження були використані такі методи дослідження: аналіз педагогічної літератури, спостереження, експеримент, якісний та кількісний аналіз результатів дослідження. Важливим методом у дослідженні даної  проблеми є аналіз літератури.
Наукова новизна. Сьогодні поняття “гуманізм” тісно асоціюється з правами людини, зі ставленням до особистості як головної цінності, зі створенням умов для її розвитку. Проте розуміння сутності гуманізму зовсім не однозначне. Перш за все, гуманізм не можна ототожнювати з прощенням. Найбільш правильним тлумаченням гуманізму, мабуть, слід визнати фундаментальний принцип, теоретично сформульований і блискуче реалізований Дж. Дьюї [1916:32]: “Освіта полягає не тільки в тому, щоб вивчати минуле; це про те, щоб думати та діяти на майбутнє. Навчити студентів мислити самостійно – це важливо для їх самореалізації”.
Це визначення підкреслює ідею, що освіта має виходити за рамки простого передачі історичних фактів чи інформації. Він висвітлює два ключові моменти:
Далекоглядний підхід: гуманістична освіта повинна готувати учнів не лише до теперішнього чи минулого, але й до майбутніх викликів і можливостей. Це заохочує їх критично мислити про навколишній світ і уявляти, як вони можуть йому сприяти.
Незалежне мислення: навчання студентів мислити самостійно має вирішальне значення для їхнього особистого розвитку та самореалізації. Коли учні навчаються аналізувати, ставити під сумнів і формувати власні думки, вони стають активними учасниками свого навчання та суспільства. Ця незалежність сприяє творчості, навичкам вирішення проблем і почуттю волі.

Türkiye'nin AB 27 Ülkelerine Birincil Alüminyum İhracatının Sektörel Karbon Emisyonu Üzerine Etkileri
Authors: Kılınç Zeliha , Şanlısoy Selim
Published: November 2024

Avrupa Birliği’nin 2050 yılına kadar karbon salınımını sıfıra indirme amacı doğrultusunda yapılan müzakereler sonucunda varılan Avrupa Yeşil Mutabakatı kapsamında üye ülkeler için emisyon salınımı kontrol altına alınacak ilk beş sektör belirlenmiştir. Demir-Çelik, Alüminyum, Çimento, Gübre ve Enerji sektörleri hem karbon emisyonu yoğun hem de karbon kaçağı en yüksek sektörlerdir. Bu sektörlerde karbon emisyonunu azaltma hedefi Türkiye açısından da önem arz etmektedir. Çünkü ilgili sektörlerin en büyük ihracat pazarının AB ülkeleri olmasına bağlı olarak gelecekte emisyonun azaltılmaması durumunda karbon sertifikaları satın alınması gibi ek maliyetlerle karşılaşılmasına ve ihracatın olumsuz yönde etkilenmesine neden olabilecektir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada Türkiye’de birincil alüminyum üretiminden kaynaklı karbon emisyonunu etkileyen faktörlerin ortaya konulması aynı zamanda firma ve politika yapıcılara yol gösterilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Çalışmada söz konusu olan alüminyum sektöründe 1990-2021 dönemi verileri kullanılarak emisyon yoğun olan (GTİP Kodu: 7601) birincil alüminyum üretiminin, AB27 ülkelerine olan birincil alüminyum ihracat miktarının ve insani gelişmişlik endeksinin birincil alüminyum sektörünün emisyon salınımına olan etkisi ARDL testi yardımıyla ölçülmüştür. Çalışmanın bulguları literatür ile uyumlu olup alüminyum ihracatının ve üretiminin söz konusu sektörde karbon emisyonunu artırıcı, insani gelişmişliğin ise azaltıcı yönde etkilediği yönündedir
