Authors: Bikelis Skirmantas , Lankauskas Mindaugas 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Drug distribution is considered one of the most serious crimes in general and the most serious drug offense in particular. Drug distribution may cover behavior of very different levels of seriousness, ranging from the social supply of small quantities of illicit drugs in friend circles to international drug trafficking organized by powerful global crime syndicates. The article explores the criminological contexts of less serious drug distribution and penal frameworks of the relevant countries in the Baltic region. The article argues for a more nuanced penal approach to such offenses in the Lithuanian penal law.

Authors: Al-Mulla Ikram Faraoun , Al-Ameeri Abbas Salim , Al-Attar Tareq Salih 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Creep is a complex behavior of concrete since it induces different stages of response under loading and unloading with time. It represents the time-dependent strain as a result of a constant sustained load applied with time. In cementitious materials such as engineered cementitious composite concrete, ECC, the loaded cement paste is the principal source of creep strain. Therefore, investigating the overall creep behavior, under the loading and unloading stages, will be beneficial in providing data for the performance of ECC concrete. The test for compressional creep strain is done according to the ASTM C- 512 under controlled temperature (21 oC) and relative humidity (40%). In this research, the loading stage lasted for 9 months, and the unloading stage lasted 3 months. The total creep strain, creep coefficient, and specific creep were recorded for six ECC concrete mixes. The mixes have two strength levels, 30 and 60 MPa at 28 days, and contain polypropylene and polyvinyl alcohol fibers. Results revealed significant enhancement, and lower creep behavior, in mixes including fibers compared to plain mixes. The best promising results for the creep coefficient and specific creep were recorded when using mixes of 60 MPa containing polyvinyl alcohol fibers compared to plain mixes.

Abstract
Jordan's road network continues to deteriorate as a consequence of the continuous increase in traffic and the absence of adequate maintenance work. The primary objective of this study was to enhance HMA performance by using polymer-modified asphalt mixtures. The polymer modifier known commercially as Eastman (EE-2) was mixed with binder penetration grade (60–70) at a ratio of 12%. In order to investigate the performance of polymer, the dynamic creep, the resilient modulus and the stability-flow tests were performed. Marshall Mix design was utilized to prepare a total of 50 samples, of which 20 were used to determine the optimal binder content, and the remaining samples were used to determine the effect of EE-2 modifier on asphalt mixtures. The results showed that the optimal asphalt content was 4.57 percent and revealed that the addition of EE-2 polymer to asphalt cement contributed to the production of a variety of desirable properties. The most important indicator of these developments is increased rutting resistance. For instance, the total permanent deformation has decreased by 87% (8500 to 1000 μm). Conversely, addition of EE-2 has resulted in a threefold increase in the resilience modulus (from 3632 to 10590 MPa). Finally, effect of the EE-2 polymer on the stability was demonstrated by increasing the stability value by about 52%

Authors: Majowska Magdalena 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Purpose
This paper aims to determine variations in how different groups of stakeholders, such as top managers, HR managers, and line managers, perceive HR department effectiveness. Additionally, it explores the relation between different views on HR department effectiveness and multidimensional firm performance, encompassing proximal and distal outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
The study comprised 150 Polish firms, with questionnaires collected from top managers, HR managers, and line managers within each organization. The analysis involved regression analysis and testing for two regression coefficients to confirm the hypotheses.

Findings
Research highlighted variations in how stakeholders perceive HR department effectiveness and its influence on organizational outcomes. Notably, top managers exhibited a strong association between HR department effectiveness and firm performance, especially concerning organizational and market performance. Surprisingly, assessments by HR managers and line managers did not display a stronger correlation with proximal outcomes, such as employee productivity and firm growth, compared to top managers, indicating a convergence in perspectives between different managerial levels.

Originality/value
Viewed through a managerial perspective, this paper emphasizes the significance of (dis)agreement in perceptions of HR department effectiveness at various hierarchical levels. In particular, this article enhances our knowledge of how top managers perceive HR department effectiveness, which has been relatively underexplored in prior research. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of top management as a critical stakeholder in HRM.

Authors: Agape Adriana-Georgiana , Stoenciu Daniel , Chircu Cosmin-Constantin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The paper looks at three emerging technologies, namely virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed media (MX), and explains how they are transforming the way we interact with the digital and real worlds. Each technology is defined and the main features are highlighted for comparison. VR gives us a complete and immersive experience in the virtual world, AR adds digital elements to the real world, and MX integrates both media to create an interactive experience where virtual and real elements interact and coexist. Within the work a number of equipment or applications incorporating these emerging technologies were reviewed to highlight how they could assist divers to train under controlled conditions and simulate real diving conditions in hazardous or complex environments. The implementation of technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed media (MX) within the Diving Center of the Romanian Naval Forces would bring many advantages and significant improvements in terms of the training capacity, operational efficiency and safety of military divers. These technologies would not only modernize training and operations, but also strengthen the ability to intervene and react in critical situations.

Authors: Bursuc Andrei , Munteanu Cristian , Rus Simona 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The unjustified invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation created the necessary conditions for the development and testing of technologies in the operational space of the traditional war theater. Considering that Ukraine has lost a large part of its naval forces in the first days of the conflict, there was an essential need to develop new technologies that would allow this state to defend itself. Moreover, given the innovative character of the surface and underwater technologies developed by the Ukrainians, they were able to be used for offensive actions, which surprised the naval forces of the Russian Federation repeatedly. Access to operational vehicles was made easier and more accessible with the introduction of smaller, lighter and less expensive equipment. The article proposes an analysis of the evolution of naval drones and how they were used in the most recent conflict in the Black Sea area. The main objective of the study is to identify and present the main types of underwater technologies that have enabled the development of naval drones, the analysis of how they have been used in a contemporary conflict and the recent evolution of their actions. The conclusions of the study are focused on the potential use of these technologies and how they can be used in combination with other combat technologies in armed conflicts of various types.
Annual survival rates of satellite-tracked adult European honey buzzards (Pernis apivorus) based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator and its probabilistic extension
Authors: Meyburg Bernd-Ulrich , Gries Benno 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The annual survival rate of adult raptors is an important parameter in population dynamics and is needed to derive measures for population stability and conservation management. Here we studied adult European honey buzzards (Pernis apivorus), a migratory land bird, using satellite telemetry throughout the year for up to three years. We used the Kaplan-Meier method of survival estimation in combination with the distribution density function for survival. This function describes the number of survivors N as a function of time t, based on the survival rate SR. This probabilistic extension of the Kaplan-Meier estimator results in a simple method that does not require a commercial statistical program to extract survival rates from event time analysis. It can be applied to analysing any event-time data, not only telemetry results but also ring recoveries, as demonstrated using European honey buzzards as an example. The average adult survival rate in our study, based on permanent satellite telemetry monitoring, was 0.44/year (linear correlation factor f = 0.99). This implies an adult mortality rate of 0.56 per year. It seems that particularly unfavourable weather conditions during the crossing of the Sahara and the Mediterranean led to this high mortality rate of our birds during migration from 2001 to 2011, but is likely to vary greatly from year to year. However, the loss rate in the wintering area was also high, at one third of the birds. More honey buzzards need to be tracked throughout the year to assess factors affecting survival and threats to populations adequately.
Improving Traffic Safety in Existing and New Road Tunnels with the Novel NDBA Concrete Safety Barrier
Authors: Guerrieri Marco , Dinnella Nicola 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Two main elements are essential in terms of road traffic safety. The first element is accident prevention and the second is the minimization of accident severity once a crash has occurred. Concrete safety barriers have very good anti-collision performance against roadside obstacles, relatively modest construction and maintenance costs, and low dynamic deflection and therefore are widely used in tunnels. Thanks to their characteristic redirective profile these barriers can redirect errant vehicles into their original lane after collisions. However insufficient research has been done for increasing the performance of concrete barriers purposely designed for tunnel installations. This research presents the new “NDBA Tunnel” concrete safety barrier designed and constructed by the Italian Road Operator ANAS indicated to be installed in road tunnel sections for safety improvements. In Europe, road safety barriers must be designed in compliance with the European Standard EN 1317. Therefore, the barrier “NDBA Tunnel” was subject to the TB11 and TB81 full-scale crash tests according to the European EN 1317 regulation. The results prove the barrier's ability to absorb impact loads of light and heavy vehicles with a working width W2. Therefore, the NDBA concrete barrier can be installed on existing or new tunnels at a distance less than or equal to 70 cm from the facing of the tunnel wall.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The article explores a recursive algorithm for determining Bhattacharyya parameters, which is a measure of the degree of channel polarization for telecommunications with polar coding. A method is given for determining the positions of information and fixed bits in a polar code. The principles of constructing a polar encoder and a polar decoder successive cancellation are considered. The Field-Programmable Gate Array implementation of the successive cancellation list decoder is considered. Experimental studies of the construction of a polar code using Gaussian approximation have been carried out. The influence of the design signal-to-noise ratio on the bit error rate of telecommunications with polar codes has been studied. The use of multi-position modulation in telecommunications with polar codes has been studied. It is expected that the results obtained will be useful in hardware and software implementation of 5G telecommunications with polar coding.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The densification of the vehicle fleet leads to numerous challenges in road safety management. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) helps to manage vehicle-vehicle-infrastructure interactivity, in particular to predict dangers and avoid accidents, detect and penalize traffic violations. This requires a massive deployment of communicating nodes embedded in vehicles and in road infrastructure. The reliability of the systems built on these nodes lies in the accuracy of the ranging. In order to improve the factors that impact accuracy, various ranging protocols have been developed, but their implementations most often involve the use of expensive and specialized transceivers, which incorporate a dedicated IEEE 802.15.4a ranging layer. Our approach implements the basic and advanced functions integrated into low-cost transceivers and microcontrollers. As result, in two or three links according to the case, our protocol performs simultaneously the ranging and the data exchange, against a specific ranging session with a minimum of three exchanges for the other protocols. Moreover, each node knows the ranging data and has its clock frequency adapted to the controlled process. So, we meet the challenges of large-scale low-cost node deployment, while ensuring high reliability and performance of ranging.

Published: June 2024

Objective: The aim of this paper is to show the application of Analysis of Variance and Tukey's Test to compare four brands of paint used in a company's production.

Theoretical framework: Analysis of Variance, or ANOVA, is a statistical method used to determine whether there are significant differences between the means of three or more independent groups. This technique was developed by the British statistician and geneticist Ronald Fisher at the beginning of the 20th century (Bosco v & Bispo, 2010).

Method: Data was taken from a company in the South of Rio de Janeiro and a case study was carried out using Analysis of Variance and Tukey's test.

Final Considerations: This result indicates that the hardness of the paint mixtures differs significantly. Some of the group averages are known to be different. Tukey's comparison results were used to formally test whether the difference between a pair of groups is statistically significant. It was found that Paint 4 has a higher hardness than the others.

Implications of the research: The use cases of Analysis of Variance and Tukey's Test are multiplying in the scientific literature and are proving to be highly effective for processing data in a wide variety of areas.

Originality/value: Despite being well-known statistical tools, Analysis of Variance and Tukey's Tests are only valid in cases where there are more than two types of samples in which the statistical assumptions have been confirmed.
