Authors: Vico Antonio , Bračić Iva , Pralas Anela 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper diagnoses faults on photovoltaic (PV) modules before and after the commissioning of the “Zvizdan” photovoltaic power plant, aiming to ensure reliable and safe operation of the plant and reduce technical losses to optimize the production of PV modules. All PV modules are inspected with thermal camera, with a focus on safety and reliability before commissioning, and on minimizing production losses after commissioning. Then, the I V curve parameters of modules showing faults in thermal images are measured and compared with manufacturer’s data. Results of this research provide deeper insights into the efficiency reduction of PV modules caused by various faults and they question a need for module replacement due to economic losses and protection of the system from extreme events such as fires.

Authors: Ibrus Indrek , Ojamaa Maarja , Kippar Jaagup 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article discusses ways to use link analysis and network analysis to study the evolution of film culture –how filmmakers have collaborated with each other and what kinds of films have resulted from their collaborations. The study is motivated by the concept of a “deme”, a con­cept developed by John Hartley and Jason Potts to refer to communities of creators that produce similar, thematically related work. This paper discusses our attempts to study the evolution of the demes within the broad networks of Estonian filmmakers based on data from the Estonian Film Database (EFD). The article discusses our method development for such a study and applies the method to explore the evolution of the demes of Estonian films and their maker communities from the 1950s until the 2010s.

High-throughput sequencing as a potential tool in the quality control of infectious bronchitis vaccines
Authors: Pasik Katarzyna , Domańska-Blicharz Katarzyna , Iwan Ewelina , Bomba Arkadiusz 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction
In Europe, veterinary vaccines are strictly controlled by the Official Medicines Control Laboratories (OMCLs) of the General European OMCL Network, coordinated by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare. Despite a meticulous verification programme for immunological veterinary medicinal products (IVMPs), the products’ genomic composition has not yet been subject to evaluation in veterinary pharmacy.

Material and Methods
A study was carried out on Poland’s poultry vaccines containing the infectious bronchitis virus which have the greatest market penetration. Three batches of three different vaccines were high-throughput sequenced and analysed for genomic composition, frequency of variants and the phylogeny of the strains.

Results
The main genetic component of each vaccine was infectious bronchitis coronavirus. The identity of the vaccine strain types was confirmed to be consistent with the manufacturer's declaration (793B, Mass and QX). Most variants were identified for the same nucleotide positions in all three batches of each vaccine, demonstrating the homogeneity of the samples, while unique variants specific to single batches were rare.

Conclusion
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) is an effective alternative poultry IVMP quality control tool for OMCLs. This technique allows in-depth characterisation of a vaccine strain and assessment of its conformance to the manufacturer’s declaration. Importantly, HTS brings new cognitive value to IVMP quality control, because it makes monitoring the level of revertants possible. However, before it could be introduced into routine quality control, a thorough analysis and characteristics of the IVMP to be evaluated is needed from the medical product’s manufacturer.
Innovative Hybrid War Strategy Optimization with Incremental Conductance for Maximum Power Point Tracking in Partially Shaded Photovoltaic Systems
Authors: Khaterchi Hechmi , Regaya Chiheb Ben , Jeridi Ahmed , Zaafouri Abderrahmen 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper introduces a novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for photovoltaic (PV) systems that leverages the strengths of both metaheuristic and heuristic methods. Classical MPPT algorithms, such as incremental conductance (IC) and perturb and observe (P&O), are widely used but often struggle with instability, oscillations near the steady state, and slow convergence, particularly under fluctuating weather conditions such as static partial shading conditions (PSCs). To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid MPPT approach that combines the war strategy optimization (WSO) algorithm with the IC method, termed war strategy optimization-incremental conductance (WSO-IC). The performance of the WSO-IC algorithm is rigorously compared against traditional IC, P&O, and standalone WSO techniques. Simulation results validate that the WSO-IC approach provides superior MPPT with faster convergence and high efficiency. The results obtained in SIMULINK demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve efficiencies exceeding 99%, even under static partial shading conditions.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
In pursuit of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), nations are growing more conscious of the importance of implementing SDGs and adopting various tools and frameworks to advance environmental and human development. Current study aims to investigate the environmental impacts of airport ground operations through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and was conducted on three different Ground Power Units (GPU) namely, diesel, biodiesel, and electric-powered by adopting a system boundary of cradle-to-gate, using SimaPro version 9.4 software and adopted a CML Baseline V3.09 EU25 characterization model. Results show that the highest environmental impact was caused by diesel-powered GPU, followed by the biodiesel-powered GPU. At the same time, the electric-powered GPU contributed to lower environmental impact in comparison. The Abiotic Depletion (AD) in the diesel, biodiesel, and electric-powered GPU in a respective manner was (in kg Sb eq, 0.196, 0.196 and 0.162), global warming (kg CO2 eq of 1142, 1130 and 1044), Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) (kg CFC-11 eq of 0.0003, 0.0001 and 0.0001), Human Toxicity Potential (HTP) (kg 1,4-DB eq of 516.49, 510.96 and 549.29), Freshwater Aquatic Ecotoxicity (kg 1,4-DB eq of 441.56, 463.22 and 605.91), Terrestrial Ecotoxicity (kg 1,4-DB eq of 2.74, 2.31 and 2.35), Photochemical Oxidation (kg C2H4 eq of 0.609, 0.70 and 0.545), Acidification (kg SO2 eq of 11.01, 11.23 and 10.11) and Eutrophication of (kg PO4 eq 3.432, 3.459 and 3.2311). Batteries, diesel, aluminium, wheel rims, and synthetic rubber were the main contributors to these environmental impacts. It was concluded that lead-ion batteries are a good replacement to lithium-ion batteries due to their lower impact. Similarly, switching to stationary GPUs rather than mobile, can contribute to lowering impacts as the wheel rims in mobile GPUs are the main contributors to overall environmental impact of airport ground operations.
Integrating Low-temperature Waste Heat in District Heating Systems. Legal Framework and Pricing
Authors: Zirne Marita Agate , Pakere Ieva 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Decarbonisation of the heating sector is a key challenge for the European Union to achieve its ambitious goal of becoming the first climate-neutral continent in 2050. Decarbonising the heating sector is about reducing fossil fuel consumption, finding new scenarios based on renewables and restructuring the operation of the district heating (DH) system. Recovering and integrating waste heat into the DH system has an enormous potential to meet the heating needs of buildings through non – combustion technologies while reducing carbon emissions. The waste heat from urban sources is advantageous because they are located near DH networks and areas with high heat demand. However, there is still no legal or regulatory framework for using of waste heat in the Baltic States. This paper has two main objectives: firstly, to consider a mathematical model for the pricing of waste heat. The waste heat integration strategies are tested in the Case study of a DH system in Salaspils, Latvia. A simplified model of a waste heat recovery system that recovers heat energy from a wastewater treatment plant through heat pump integration is developed. Secondly, to consider different pricing and cost determination scenarios when the waste heat is integrated into the district heating system. The heat tariff calculation model is based on the approved Latvian heat tariff calculation methodology.
Carbon Farming: A Systematic Literature Review on Sustainable Practices
Authors: Vistarte Lelde , Kubule Anna , Rozentale Liga , Pubule Jelena 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Carbon farming, a sustainable agricultural method, aims to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, mitigating climate change through regenerative practices that improve soil health and biodiversity while reducing GHG emissions. This research conducts a systematic literature review to identify various carbon farming practices and their potential contributions to climate goals and mitigation efforts. The systematic literature review investigated the relationship between prominent topics related to carbon farming and its practices. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were used for the review. SCOPUS database was utilised for its extensive coverage of scientific journals and high-quality data. Keywords such as “carbon farming”, “agriculture”, and “carbon sequestration” were selected based on their relevance to carbon farming and its promotion through the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy 2023–2027. Specific criteria were applied to refine the selection process of articles, ensuring the selection of the most relevant ones. The analysis of articles reveals that each carbon farming method offers unique advantages and considerations for soil health and carbon sequestration. Tillage practices show promise in enhancing soil carbon levels despite potential drawbacks like soil compaction. Cover crops, perennial plants, agroforestry, and crop rotation each offer significant carbon sequestration potential.
Cognitive Semantics Against Creole Exceptionalism: A Case Study of Body Part Expressions in Nigerian Pidgin
Authors: Kosecki Krzysztof 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
One of the claims of creole exceptionalism is that creole languages have lexicons of reduced conceptual and expressive complexity. Building on previous studies of the lexicon of Nigerian Pidgin/NP and the applications of the cognitive linguistic framework in creole linguistics, the present paper aims to counter the exceptionalism claim by analysing the conceptual structure of body part expressions in NP. It is argued that the expressions not only involve embodied universal patterns of imaginative reasoning, but also blend the substratum patterns of West African languages with the superstratum influence of colonial lexifiers, especially English. Thanks to this, NP speakers can deal with diverse aspects of experience, such as emotions, mental life, social interaction, or business transactions, which is strong evidence for the complex conceptual structure and the richly expressive character of the NP lexicon.
Aspects of the Cultural Concept of [Peace] in English and Polish: An Ethnolinguistic Account
Authors: Gicala Agnieszka 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The paper aims to analyse how native speakers of English and Polish understand one of the basic cultural concepts: English PEACE and Polish POKÓJ. By juxtaposing the current understanding of these concepts with the data recorded in dictionaries, an attempt is made to catch a glimpse of what is meant by peace in English and pokój in Polish and, what follows, to reflect on them in terms of translation and intercultural communication. The study was inspired by elements of the methodology developed by the Lublin School of Ethnolinguistics for the purpose of research into cultural concepts and constructing their cognitive definitions. In particular, my analysis begins with a textual illustration that prompts the research direction, in which etymology as well as unique connotations recorded by the survey respondents are granted as much significance as the dictionary material, with attention paid to the dimension of metonymy and metaphor in the analysed cultural concepts of PEACE and POKÓJ. Comparing and contrasting the core meanings with their current shifts and extensions is aimed to help embed words in their broader linguacultural context and thus shed some light on aspects of intercultural communication, operationalised via translation.
‘We Need to Ask Ourselves’: We, As A Marker of (Inter)Subjectivity in Academic Debate
Authors: Barczewska Shala 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper combines Langacker’s notion of intersubjectivity with research into the discursive purposes of the first-person plural to analyse the 2008 debate between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox Has Science Buried God? The analysis identifies several differences and similarities between the debaters. Both speakers navigate the objectivity – (inter)subjectivity continuum in similar ways. Both speakers also use we to create their unique discursive identities. Dawkins primarily uses we to refer to himself as a member of an atemporal or cross-generational scientific community. This use was often exclusive as part of his argument seemed to be that he was a scientist in a way that Lennox was not. In contrast, Lennox’s uses are primarily inclusive, placing himself, Dawkins, and all scientists as part of the human race and using the human predicament as his main argument. Although only one debate is examined here, this paper may serve as a model for conducting a larger-scale project. With the recent increased polarisation of society, this analysis of we and intersubjectivity within a debate over an often volatile topic could provide insight for improving dialogue. Thus, this study is also relevant to fields beyond linguistics.
