Open government data use: The Brazilian states and federal district cases
Authors: Kawashita Ilka , Baptista Ana Alice , Soares Delfina , Andrade Morgana 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This paper presents the results of an online survey and subsequent interviews investigating whether, how, and why public administrations of Brazilian states and the federal district (Federation Units) use open government data. According to the literature reviewed, the questions were categorized into four big groups: benefits, barriers, enablers, and drivers.

Design/Methodology/Approach
The Survey method, based on a questionnaire followed by interviews, was used to collect and analyze data from the open data officers of 26 Brazilian Federation Units.

Findings
The use of open government data is controversial as responses from the questionnaires and interviews do not match and raise questions about how well-represented each Federation Unit was. Evidence of open government data use was found. Among others, findings showed that political leadership committed to using open data facilitates and motivates public agents to use these data. Additionally, interviews indicated that the lack of human resources with the knowledge, skills, and capabilities to use open data is a relevant barrier to data use. Findings also revealed that open government data mainly support policy and decision-making processes.

Practical implications
This research contributed to the open data and public administration fields. It portrays diverse realities of open government data use and institutionalization in Brazilian state and district public administrations. In addition, it provides lists of open government data use benefits, barriers, drivers, and enablers from the perspective of these administrations so that they can benchmark against each other and improve their OGD use.

Originality and research implications
For academia, this research provides empirical evidence of the factors influencing public administrations’ use of open government data at the subnational level in Brazil. Even though Brazil ranks high on OGD global assessments, few studies on its use and reuse in the public sector were identified. This is one of the first academic studies focusing on open government data use in the country. It also contributes by offering to the academic community two instruments, a questionnaire and an interview protocol, which can be applied to other public settings to expand this study’s results or open new research paths by applying them to other contexts.
Digital and multi-channel citizen participation in Germany: A comprehensive overview of patterns, methods and determinants
Authors: Karic Sarah , Heissler Jan , Althaus Marie-Christin 
Published: March 2024

Citizen participation has played an increasingly relevant role in spatial planning and development aiming to shape sustainable and innovative processes since the 1970s. Nevertheless, analogue participation is associated with various problems, such as social selectivity and a loss of civic trust in administration and politics. Against this background, high expectations lie in the development of digital participation formats, which have significantly changed the participation landscape. Despite the rapid development of digital participation based on new technologies and external factors such as the Covid-19 pandemic, there is still a lack of comprehensive empirical studies on spatial patterns and determinants. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to give an overview of the patterns, methods and determinants of digital and multi-channel participation in Germany. We comprehensively investigated digital and multi-channel participation processes on the websites of German cities and districts – about 4,000 approaches in total. The results show spatial disparities in digital participation processes. While the availability of broadband internet and public debt do not significantly influence the digital participation density in districts and cities, low election turnouts go along with high densities. This suggests that the administrations are responding to political disinterest with digital participation. The results also indicate that digital participation can be less socially selective, as high shares of population without German citizenship, high migration rates and low employment rates have significant positive effects on digital participation.

AbstractThe impact of logistics performance in the era of sustainable mobility on the overall economic development of a country is inevitable. It can even be said to represent an extremely important component in identifying economic conditions and provides the possibility of defining adequate strategies. In this article, the evaluation of the member countries of the European Union was carried out on the basis of the logistics performance index (LPI) according to the latest report of the World Bank (WB). A unique and original Multiple-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach has been created, and it involves the application of four methods: Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation, Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria, and Entropy and Fuzzy ROV (Range of Value). The weighting coefficients of six factors were obtained with the first three methods in crisp form, so they were converted into Triangular Fuzzy Number. The Fuzzy ROV method has been created for the first time in the literature and represents a great contribution from the methodological aspect. The results of the developed model and the applied steps show that there are certain differences in the rankings compared to the World Bank report, with a note that the best-ranked countries have maintained their positions. In addition, verification tests of the originally obtained results were created, with an emphasis on the importance of evaluation parameter values and their impact on the LPI ranking.
Grundlagen und Konturen der Studien des deutsch-chinesischen Austauschs (SDCA) als Weiterentwicklung interkultureller Regionalstudien
Authors: Hernig Marcus 
Published: March 2024

Zusammenfassung
Ausgehend von Michel Foucaults Kritik an gesellschaftlichen Diskursen plädiert der folgende Aufsatz dafür, Studien des Austausches zwischen Deutschland und China in den Mittelpunkt interkultureller Studien zwischen Deutschland und China zu stellen. Anlass ist die zunehmende Einseitigkeit von Diskursen über die jeweils eigene Kultur und ihre problematische Geschlossenheit, die kaum Leerstellen für offene Kommunikation ermöglicht. Ansätze aus TransArea-Studies und historischen Untersuchungen zur Akkulturation, zur Wirkung von Persönlichkeiten des deutsch-chinesischen Austausches oder Geschichten von Ergebnissen deutsch-chinesischer Kooperation bieten zahlreiche Chancen, offene und mit Foucault somit „ereignishafte“ Kommunikation zwischen Deutschland und China wieder lebendig werden zu lassen. Zu zeigen, wie diese Ansätze und Inhalte für ‚Studien des deutsch-chinesischen Austauschs (SDCA)‘ wirksam werden können, ist das Ziel des Aufsatzes.
Recent advances in SERS-based bioanalytical applications: live cell imaging
Authors: Lim Dong-Kwon , Kumar Panangattukara Prabhakaran Praveen 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Raman scattering can provide information on molecular fingerprints, which have been widely applied in various fields of material science and nanobiotechnology. Notably, low interference with water molecules in obtaining the Raman spectra between 500 and 2000 cm−1 made it a powerful spectroscopic tool in biology, such as imaging and signaling for a living cell. To be a robust tool for cell biology, the performance of obtaining molecular-specific information with high sensitivity, high resolution in real time, and without inducing cell damage is strongly required. The conventional fluorescence-based method has been suffered from the rapid photobleaching of organic fluorophores and the lack of molecular information. In contrast, Raman scattering is a promising spectroscopic tool to acquire cellular information, and the extremely low signal intensity of Raman scattering could be amplified by incorporating the plasmonic nanomaterials. Along with the fundamental research focus on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the practical approaches of SERS for cellular imaging as a new tool for drug screening and monitoring cellular signals have been extensively explored based on new optical setups and new designing strategies for the nanostructures. Diverse nanostructure and surface chemistry for targeting or sensing have been played pivotal roles in acquiring cellular information and high resolution cell imaging. In this regard, this review focused on the recent advances of SERS-based technologies for a live cell imaging investigated such as potential drug screening, signaling for chemicals or biomolecules in cell, in situ sensing, and high spatiotemporal resolution.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objectives
The ultra-rare DES c.1289-2A>G mutation, resulting in a 48-base pair insertion in the Desmin tail domain, is associated with late-onset MFM1 (myofibrillar myopathy-1; OMIM number; 601419) and exhibits distinctive pathological features. Despite sustained expression and cytoskeletal integrity, muscle biopsies reveal dystrophic characteristics through an unidentified mechanism. A deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying Desmin-related MFM1 could enhance our perspective and comprehension of the disease’s pathophysiology. In this study, we aimed to investigate the pathological phenotype by assessing the myogenic potency of MyoD-induced patient-derived fibroblasts.

Methods
Following the immortalization and myoconversion of unaffected and patient-derived fibroblast cells, we analyzed the myogenic potency of the mutant and control groups on day 5 post-differentiation. This analysis involved staining cells with MF20 antibody and DAPI after MyoD induction.

Results
Employing six parameters to quantify extra nuclei and myotube properties, we unveil impaired myogenic differentiation in c.1289-2A>G mutant cells, as evidenced by a compromised fusion index and distinctive myogenic features. In summary, our preliminary findings indicate phenotypic abnormalities and suggest an association between the DES c.1289-2A>G mutation and delayed maturation and MFM in affected individuals.

Conclusions
Our results indicate a significant involvement of Desmin in the myogenic maturation of muscle cells. Further investigation is required to understand the changes in the transcriptome during the myoconversion of patient-derived fibroblasts.

The work is devoted to the study of the electric pulse disintegration of a natural mineral. The object of the study is the natural mineral quartzite of the Aktas deposit of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
For the destruction and grinding of quartzite, a working cell of an electric pulse unit was developed. Electric pulse crushing is a modern technique for grinding a variety of materials, which provides the desired degree of grinding with a certain granulometric composition of the product and has a high ability of selective crushing. With the help of this technology, quartzite grinding was carried out with an increase in the capacity of capacitor banks from 0.25 mF to 1 mF, the pulse discharge voltage changed from 20 kV to 30 kV, the number of pulse discharges from 500 to 1,000, the inner diameter of the working cell from 60 mm to 80 mm. The results of the disintegration of a natural mineral by the electric pulse method allowed us to determine the degree of grinding of the finished product.
The obtained results can be used in the study and optimization of the extraction of natural minerals, which is important for ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources and balanced economic development.
Crushed quartzite is used in various industries, including the production of optical fibers, electronics and photovoltaic devices. A material with a particle diameter of 0.1 to 0.4 millimeters is used to create glass, ceramic and porcelain products, as well as insulation materials. Due to its homogeneous composition containing up to 98 % silicon oxide (SiO2) and excellent absorbent properties, quartz sand is also used as a filter material for water purification

Published: March 2024

This study presents the neutronic design of a small modular long­life Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) using thorium carbide fuel with 233U fissile material. The target optimization for this study is a reactor designed to operate for 20 years, with excess reacti­vity throughout the reactor operational cycle consistently below 1.00 % dk/k. The analysis involves dividing the reactor core into three fuel regions with 233U enrichment levels ranging from 3 % to 8 %, with a 1 % difference for each fuel region. To achieve optimum conditions, 231Pa was randomly added to the fuel. The fuel volume fraction in this design varied from 30 % to 65 %, with a 5 % incremental variation. Power level variations are also studied within the 300–500 MWth with increments of 50 MWth. Calculations were performed using the Standard Reactor Analysis Code (SRAC) program with the PIJ and CITATION modules for cell and core calculations utilizing JENDL­4.0 nuclide data. Neutronic calculations indicate that the fuel with a 60 % volume fraction achieves optimum conditions at a power level of 300 MWth. The best performance was observed with a fuel volume fraction of 65 %, reaching optimum conditions across power levels ranging from 300 to 500 MWth. For the fuel with the best performance, the power density distributions for low and high power levels follow the same pattern radially and axially. The power peaking factor (PPF) for all fuel configurations approaching the optimum conditions remains below two, a safe limit for the PWR. Other neutronic safety parameters, such as the Doppler coefficient and void fraction coefficient, also stay within the safe limits for the PWR, with both values remaining negative throughout the reactor operational cycle

Published: March 2024

The object of this research is the integrated processing of industrial waste from various industries, which makes it possible to reduce the use of material and energy resources and improve the ecological state of the environment. Waste from the chemical, petrochemical, and machine-building industries was subject to integrated technological processing.
The common link that united the investigated complex technological cycles was the use of a regenerated mixed sorbent (activated carbon+kieselguhr), on the surface of which topochemical transformations of chemicals that were part of industrial waste took place. Using a regenerated mixed sorbent, exhausted industrial oil which was the mineral basis of the developed new C, S, N-containing plastic lubricants was purified. In particular, we have established the conditions for obtaining diethyl ammonium chloride from unusable pesticides of the formula R1R2R3R4C6HCOOH∙HN(C2H5)2, whose topochemical interaction on the surface of the mixed sorbent leads to the formation of a sorbed fragment [sorbent (activated carbon+kieselguhr)]∙[(C2H5)2NC(=S)SK]. Subsequent interaction of aqueous solutions containing copper(II) ions with such a fragment leads to the formation of bis–(diethyldithiocarbamate)copper(II) on the surface of mixed sorbent. The resulting substances of the general composition [sorbent (activated carbon + kieselguhr)]∙{[(С2H5)2NC(=S)S]2Cu} were studied as thickeners and active polyfunctional components of the obtained plastic lubricants. Research into the tribological properties of new C, S, N-containing plastic lubricants showed their high anti-wear and heat-resistant properties and the possibility of effective use in highly loaded friction nodes

Published: March 2024

The Kalman filter algorithm is very important as a recursive algorithm method to optimize sensor output from physical parameter measurement systems, especially physics practicum demonstration systems. One of the distance parameter measurement demonstration systems used in Hooke’s law demonstration system is applied in physics practicum, the system has problems related to fluctuating or unstable sensor output. This research implements the Kalman filter algorithm on the Arduino IDE sketch to reduce noise that appears at the ultrasonic sensor output. The methodology used in this study includes the application of the Kalman filter algorithm to the Arduino IDE sketch with the variable value of the Kalman filter algorithm equation modified with a value of R=10, H=1, and Q=1, and returns the filtered Kalman out value. The Arduino output results are exported to Ms. Excel for further analysis and generate a filtered ultrasonic sensor output signal graph compared without using the Kalman filter. The ultrasonic sensor output noise filtration effectively reduces noise by showing a decrease in the mean squared error (MSE) value and obtaining the best performance of up to 89.23 %. The accuracy of Kalman filter filtration results can be seen from the calculation that the spring constant of filtered metal materials is smaller than the conventional measurement spring constant. Accurate and effective results with the implementation of the Kalman filter algorithm can be developed for the variation values of distance parameters and Kalman filter algorithm variables (R, Q, and H) with other value variations, especially variables that produce filtering curves close to straight lines. It was concluded that the Kalman filter algorithm was able to improve the performance of Hooke’s law prop system
