Atomistic Simulation of Primary Radiation Damage Profiles in Fluorine-Doped Tin Oxide Thin Film Target Using SRIM Code
Authors: Oryema Bosco , Madiba Itani G. , Mtshali Christopher B. 
Published: November 2024

In this study, we investigated the discrepancy between the numbers of atomic displacements obtained from the Vac.txt method and those obtained from the Vac.dam method using SRIM-2013 operated in full cascade mode. The SRIM simulations also calculated energy partitioning, damage dose and distribution profiles of the implanted He, C and O ions at three different ion energies of 10 keV, 100 keV and 1 MeV. In all the simulations and at each ion energy value, the target thickness was increased until the entire ion beam was absorbed within the target. The simulated fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin film target stoichiometrically comprised 78.6% Sn, 16.4% O and 5.0% F, and a 6.013 g/cm3 bulk density. To achieve relatively good statistics with compromised computational time, each run followed 10 000 ion histories. The results indicated that, with increasing ion energies, the peaks of vacancy concentrations moved deeper into the material. For He ions, the vacancy profiles have peaks at ∼0.04, ~0.45 and ~2.9 µm at 10 keV, 100 keV and 1 MeV, respectively. Meanwhile, for C and O ions, the peaks were at ∼0.012, ~0.15 and ~1.23 µm for C ions and ∼0.01, 0.12 and 1.2 µm for O ions at 10 keV, 100 keV and 1 MeV, respectively. We also observed that for all the ions and at all ion energies considered, the Vac.txt method predicted more vacancies than the Vac.dam method, and the discrepancies generally increased with increasing Z by an average value of ∼1.21, ∼1.45 and 1.48 for He, C and O ions respectively. In addition, the electronic and nuclear partitioning profiles revealed that most of the energies of the ions were lost in collision with atomic electrons due to ionisation and excitations, and little to nuclear events. The simulations also revealed that nuclear stopping powers increase at low ion energies. This study also indicated that damage dose profiles strongly depend on the type of incident particle and its energy. A comparison of SRIM and iradina calculated vacancies and incident ion distribution profiles generally indicated perfect agreements between the two codes. FTO thin film remains a promising material for thermal control applications in future spacecraft. However, further analyses are still necessary to comprehensively understand its evolution under intense radiation environments comprising various ions and at different energies.

Published: November 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of green logistics practices on performance and mediating effect of environmental performance on this relationship in logistics companies in Kenya.

Theoretical Framework: This study is anchored on the resource-based view and the natural resource-based view.

Method: The study employs cross-sectional survey research design. A structured questionnaire is used to collect data from a sample of 300 firms which is analyzed using CB-SEM.

Results and Discussion: Study establishes a significant positive relationship between green logistics practices and performance which is in line with the argument of the natural resource-based view. Secondly, the mediating effect of environmental performance on the relationship between green logistics practices and firm performance is found to be non-significant.

Research Implications: The study recommends that logistics firms should implement environment-friendly practices of green packaging, route optimization, fuel efficiency, carbon emission measurement and reverse logistics. The expenses associated with implementing these practices impede the firm’s ability to improve performance in the context of a developing country. The findings provide a basis for the development regulatory framework in pursuit of environmental sustainability.

Originality/Value: Research on ecological sustainability has mainly concentrated on the entire supply chain. This study concentrates on the logistics aspect which is responsible for a quarter of emissions of Green House Gases (CHGs). The research employs a measurement model of green logistics practices construct in the service sector hence moving away from the manufacturing organizations.
ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOWS IN THE ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Authors: Rud Inna , Dorokhov Viktor 
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of cash flows in the enterprise management system. The concept of "cash flow" is considered, which is an important subject of management, which is presented in non-cash and cash forms, the direction of which is related to the functioning of money and the monetary system, the stage of managing the company's monetary calculations. In the analysis of monetary calculations, the main goal is to determine the reasons for the deficit or surplus of monetary resources, the order of their receipt and the direction of spending in order to control the current solvency of the enterprise. The following methods are used to determine cash flows: indirect and direct. They differ in a different sequence of actions by which the size of the flow of cash is estimated. The movement of cash means the breakdown of incoming and outgoing cash flows in the development of operational, investment and financial activities of a business entity. The flow of cash from operational and financial activities was analyzed. It was determined that an important area of ​​activity of the company's management, especially in periods of financial crises, is the management of cash flows. The dynamics of cash flow according to the sources of their formation are analyzed. It has been proven that the flow of funds from the main activity correlates with current operations, which include revenue from sales, payment of supplier invoices, receipt of short-term credits and loans, payment of wages, settlements with the budget. The flow of cash from operational and financial activities was analyzed. We consider the management of cash flows, which are detailed in monetary calculations, to be the most important activity of the company's management, especially in periods of financial crises, therefore, the reasons for the importance of such an asset, such as cash, have been determined. Disadvantages revealed after monitoring cash flows. In order to improve the cash management system, we suggest implementing a control formation that will ensure the consolidation of control actions, its concentration on the determined course of the company's financial activity, timely disclosure of deviations of the actual results from the expected ones, and the formulation of operational management decisions that will ensure its normalization.
Por una descolonización de la Historia global
Authors: García Fernández Javier 
Published: November 2024

Este ensayo examina las tensiones y diálogos entre la nueva historia global y los estudiosposcoloniales y decoloniales, destacando la persistencia del eurocentrismo en la historiografíacontemporánea. A través de un análisis crítico de las obras recientes de historiadores comoSebastian Conrad, Roca Barea y Bruce Gilley, se observa una reafirmación de narrativas eurocéntricas que minimizan la relevancia de las teorías críticas emergentes del sur global. Aunque algunos intentan articular un acercamiento entre la historia global y las teorías poscoloniales, estos trabajos a menudo carecen de un verdadero compromiso con las voces racializadas y migrantes. Además, se destaca la práctica del extractivismo epistemológico, donde conceptos críticos son apropiados sin el reconocimiento adecuado de sus orígenes. Para avanzar hacia una historiografía verdaderamente inclusiva, es esencial reconciliar las perspectivas globales con las teorías poscoloniales, fomentando un diálogo crítico que integre experiencias diversas. Este proceso implica reconocer la importancia de la descolonización dela historia y promover un entendimiento más matizado del pasado, que no solo refleje las narrativas eurocéntricas, sino que también incorpore las múltiples voces y experiencias que han configurado la historia mundial.
Environmental planning and the evolution of inter-basin water transfers in the United States
Authors: Yi Sooyeon , Kondolf G. Mathias 
Published: November 2024

The uneven spatial distribution of water resources and demands across the US have motivated a wide range of inter-basin water transfers. By redistributing water resources, Inter-basin water transfer projects can lead to specific environmental changes such as altered river flows, changes in water quality, and loss of ecologically important habitats, impacts which depend on project scale and management. Early water transfer projects were undertaken prior to legislation Since the primary focus is not on the environmental impacts of these projects, they are often not documented historically. We provided a comprehensive inventory of inter-basin water transfer projects (built, incomplete, proposed) in the US, identified patterns of these projects’ characteristics, analyzed the growing role of environmental planning in these projects, and drew lessons to inform future proposals. We categorized historical US water transfer projects into three periods: 1900–1930, 1930–1970, and 1970–2020, analyzing projects over 40 km long and 50 MCM/year using diverse sources, to assess their development from an environmental planning perspective. Results of this study show that the early projects, mostly gravity-driven and smaller-in-scale, grow in scale and require more pumping stations (energy-intensive) to lift the water over high elevations. California and Colorado are the most active, using these transfers for the first time. Federal agencies have reduced funding for most transfers due to a growing recognition of the environmental impacts, which were not adequately addressed in planning of early projects. Environmental impacts are crucial for the planning and operation of inter-basin water transfer projects. We recommend that assessments of climate change vulnerability should also be considered essential for future project proposals.

ObjectivesTo gain a comprehensive understanding of rubella seroprevalence in the healthy population in China and to offer data-driven support for the goal of rubella elimination.MethodsCNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, CBM, PubMed, web of Science, and Embase databases were searched to collect studies reporting the positive rate of rubella antibody among the Chinese healthy populations between 2001 and 2022. We conducted a meta-analysis using R language, and data were combined using random effects model.ResultsA total of 97 studies were included, encompassing a sample size of 103,018. Meta-analysis showed that the overall prevalence of rubella antibody positivity in the Chinese healthy population was 77.29% (95% CI: 75.26-79.33). The prevalence of rubella antibody varied significantly based on age and vaccination status. Among the age groups studied, the &lt;1-year-old group exhibited the lowest positivity rate for rubella antibody at 47.87% (95% CI: 41.53-54.21),while the ≥50 years old group showed the highest positivity rate at 85.43% (95% CI: 81.01-89.85); individuals with a history of vaccination demonstrated a higher antibody positivity rate compared to those without vaccination history.ConclusionsThe prevalence of rubella antibody in healthy Chinese population is relatively low. In order to establish a solid immunity threshold levels, it requires conducting timely immunization programs on key groups such as middle school students and the women of childbearing age on the basis of ensuring a high level of rubella-containing-vaccines (RCV) coverage, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating rubella.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42024607949.

Introduction:A growing literature has shown that exposure to adverse life events during childhood or adolescence is associated with the presence of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs), which is in turn associated with the risk of psychotic outcomes. Ruminative thinking, i.e., the tendency to dwell on particular issues or ideas, may affect the perceived aversiveness and ability to cope with adverse life events. However, the role that rumination plays in the relationship between adverse life events and the presence of PLEs remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to assess the association between adverse life events and PLEs in a longitudinal sample of young adults and adolescents, and to investigate whether this relationship is mediated by ruminative thinking.MethodsWe used a longitudinal naturalistic sample of 706 volunteers assessed at ages 18 and 22 years, within the Imagen consortium. Lifetime occurrence of adverse life events (i.e., events perceived as strongly negative by participants) was investigated using the Life Events Questionnaire. The Community Assessment of Psychic Experience (CAPE-42) served to assess the presence of PLEs, while ruminative thinking was investigated through the Ruminative Response Scale.ResultsResults showed that both frequency of PLEs and their persistence over time were associated with greater adverse life events exposure (r = 0.32, p &lt; 0.001 and F1 = 9.8; p &lt; 0.001, respectively) and greater ruminative response (r = 0.66, p &lt; 0.001 and F1 = 94.9; p &lt; 0.001, respectively). Mediation analyses showed that relationship between adverse life events and PLEs frequency was partially mediated by rumination (direct effect Z: 5.4, p &lt; 0.001; indirect effect Z: 6.9, p &lt; 0.001; total effect Z: 5.9, p &lt; 0.001). Considering changes between the two assessment timepoints, relationship between PLEs variation between 18 and 22 years and adverse life events occurred during the same period was partially mediated by changes in rumination (direct effect Z: 2.8, p &lt; 0.005; indirect effect Z: 4.3, p &lt; 0.001; total effect Z: 4.3; p &lt; 0.001).DiscussionOverall, our findings confirm that the presence of adverse life events may increase the risk of experiencing PLEs in healthy individuals and suggest that dysfunctional coping strategies, such as ruminative thinking, may be related to psychosis proneness. Results do not disentangle whether individuals with greater risk for psychosis tend to ruminate more or whether rumination exacerbates psychosis risk.

We reported that a lyophilized ethyl-acetate fraction (EAF-L) of Trichilia catigua (popular ‘Catuaba’) facilitated memory recovery and reduced oxidative stress after cerebral ischemia in rats. However, oral doses as high as 400 mg/kg seem necessary to achieve those effects. Here we used an EAF microemulsion (EAF-ME) to evaluate whether a dose lower than that used previously can be suitable for memory neuroprotection. Intact rats were trained in the aversive radial maze (LRA) and subjected to transient global cerebral ischemia (TGCI). EAF-ME or EAF-L (100 mg/kg each) was administered at 4 hours of reperfusion and repeated in the next 6 days. Retrograde memory performance was assessed 7-, 14-, and 21-days postischemia. In a second experiment, a single EAF-ME dose was given at 4 h of reperfusion. Oxidative stress of brain tissue was assessed at 24 h of reperfusion. Lastly, after the FAE-ME treatment, the brain was examined for GFAP and Iba-1 immunoreactivity as neuroinflammation markers. The rats' ability to recall the AvRM task learned before ischemia was significantly reduced after ischemia (amnesia). Treatment with EAF-ME (100 mg/kg) mitigated this outcome, whereas the same dose of the EAF-L formulation did not. Furthermore, a single administration of the EAF-ME prevented oxidative stress by restoring SOD and CAT activities and reducing protein carbonylation and lipoperoxidation. Ischemia-induced glial cell immunoreactivity, however, was not precluded by the EAF-ME formulation. The current findings demonstrate that the neuroprotective efficacy of T. catigua can be improved by developing appropriate formulations that may enhance the bioavailability of polyphenolic constituents in the brain.

Motor DC (Direct Current) atau sering disebut juga motor listrik arus searah merupakan suatu perangkat yang dapat mengubah energi listrik searah menjadi energi mekanik. Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari baik di industri dan rumah tangga, motor DC lebih sering digunakan untuk keperluan aplikasi yang membutuhkan variasi kecepatan. Beberapa kelebihan yang dimiliki motor DC diantaranya yaitu stabil dan tidak mempunyai kerugian daya reaktif. Variasi kecepatan motor DC dikembangkan dengan beberapa metode. Salah satu teknik dalam sistem kontrol untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini adalah menggunakan metode Fuzzy Gain Scheduling-PID control. Dimana parameter kontrol diubah secara otomatis jika terjadi perubahan kondisi operasi yang menyebabkan perubahan kinerja kontrol. Fuzzy Gain Scheduling-PID control merupakan motede hybrid dimana fuzzy berfungsi menghitung parameter kontrol PID (Kp, Ti dan Td), berdasarkan kondisi sinyal error dan delta erros. Dengan pengembangan aplikasi Fuzzy Gain Scheduling-PID control untuk memvariasikan kecepatan didapatkan kecepatan motor DC smooth sesuai yang diinginkan
