Impact of Digitalization on Visual Arts Consumers’ Behavior during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Generational Perspective of Art Management
Authors: Szostak Michał , Baghzou Djalel , Kamran Muhammad , Bouameur Assala Belsem 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objective
The virtualization of the aesthetic experience influences the scope of artistry and creativity of visual artwork and the quality of participation in visual arts. Due to variances in perception qualities between individuals belonging to particular generations, this article aims to assess the impact of the participation form (physical/traditional or digital) on the aesthetic situation of recipients from certain generations. The quality of participation in visual arts was assessed using ten criteria.

Methodology
Quantitative data exploration from a survey undertaken using a digital instrument provided by SURVIO based on a worldwide sample from 22 countries (n = 87). Due to the relatively ephemeric character of the research problem, an additional qualitative analysis of the statistical results was performed.

Findings
The participation form (online or in-real) in visual arts determines participation quality level of the aesthetic situation of particular generations. Significant differences exist among generations in online and in-real participation in visual arts and between particular forms of participation. This article did not look for the reasons for these differences; only additional comparative qualitative research can try to reveal them.

Value Added
It is the first analysis of the impact of digitalization of visual arts from the perspective of visual arts consumers’ behavior based on the components of aesthetic situation theory.

Implications
The research results should be of interest to: 1) Visual arts creators looking for the optimal way of distributing artworks among recipients from different generations; 2) Visual arts managers and marketers for a multi-layered understanding of generation-diversified visual arts recipients’ perspectives and their preferences about participation in visual arts in-real or digitally; 3) Visual arts customers (recipients) who wish to compare their own views about participating in visual arts with those of other recipients belonging to certain generations.
Problems with the Concept of Whistleblowing in the Intercultural Perspective and the EU Directive 2019/1937
Authors: Ignatowski Grzegorz 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objective
The aim of the article is to verify the concept of whistleblowing, taking into account the literature on the subject and the EU Directive 2019/1937 and its understanding by Polish and Ukrainian respondents, i.e. those who belong to the EU and those who aspire to it and have grown up in different cultures.

Methodology
The research analysed literature in English and used qualitative methods in the form of an in-depth individual interview with Polish and Ukrainian managers.

Findings
The research revealed that the understanding of whistleblowing in EU Directive 2019/1937 reflects years of discussion and goes beyond the original understanding of the term. Respondents understand the advantages and drawbacks of internal and external whistleblowing, the anonymity of the whistleblower and their position in the organisation.

Originality/Value
The article clarifies the concept of a whistleblower and explains the problems with its interpretation and implementation, allowing for further discussion on its topic in a reliable way. The understanding of whistleblowing contained in the EU Directive and the respondents’ concerns are relevant to the implementation of the Directive, especially in areas that concern the whistleblower’s reliability and anonymity.

Recommendations
Further research should be conducted among EU members and candidates for EU structures. Quantitative research will determine the acceptance of the issue and indicate the difficulties of implementation. Further research should focus on the reliability of non-employed whistleblowers and their anonymity.
Numerical simulation of dense-phase pneumatic conveying in vertical pipe for gasifier
Authors: Gao Yuzhen , Chan Choon Kit 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The stable transportation of pulverized coal in the vertical pipe is significant for the operation of the gasifier. There are few studies on the flow characteristics and flow pattern transition of particles in vertical pipes with small diameters. This paper has modeled and analyzed the flow characteristic of powder in dense-phase pneumatic conveying through 25 mm vertical pipe using CFD. Firstly, the grid independence is verified to determine the optimal mesh size. Then, the influences of different solid loading ratios (SLRs) and conveying velocities on particle flow characteristics, flow stability, and flow pattern transition are investigated. The results show that the flow pattern in the vertical pipe changes from annular flow to uniform flow at high SLR and low conveying velocity. Moreover, the evolution regulation of resistance characteristics under different conveying velocities is further revealed. Considering the conveying stability and economic benefit, the most suitable conveying velocity is 6 m/s.
Application of a modified method of humic acids extraction as an efficient process in the production of formulations for agricultural purposes

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Due to their properties, humic acids (HA) can interact with macro- and micronutrients and retain plant nutrients in the soil profile. The aim of the presented work was to develop a new integrated 4-step process for the isolation of humic acids from peat with their simultaneous enrichment in macronutrients. The study demonstrated the possibility of replacing traditional solutions used in the extraction of humic acids with solutions that are a source of macronutrients. For the alkaline extraction step, a process assisted with ultrasound was implemented, which allowed to increase the efficiency of humic acids isolation. Optimization of this step has shown that, with the application of ultrasound in the new procedure, it is possible to obtain the humic acids isolation efficiency of more than 60%. The qualitative analysis of the products obtained confirmed the presence of structures characteristic of humic acids, including key functional groups.
Influence of Effluent Quality from Sludge Dewatering on Electricity Consumption
Authors: Hyrycz Michał , Ochowiak Marek , Krupińska Andżelika , Włodarczak Sylwia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
During the dewatering process, centrate is produced, which is returned to the beginning of the technological system. The quality of the resulting centrate, and therefore the size of the returned load of pollutants, affects the demand for electricity in the process of biological wastewater treatment. The following study presents the results of centrate quality tests at five wastewater treatment plants located in Poland. The dependence between suspended solids content and ammonia and COD concentrations in the centrate was determined. It was estimated that an increase in the overall suspended solids leads to an increase in COD by about 1.15 kgCOD/kgTSS. No correlation was found between TSS concentration and ammonia. It was calculated that the complete elimination of suspended solids from the sludge would reduce the electricity consumption for all five objects by about 535 MWh/y.
Modelling of Lake Waves to Simulate Environmental Disturbance to a Scale Ship Model
Authors: Rak Andrzej , Miller Anna 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the development of ship motion control systems, software simulations or scale model experiments in pools or open water are very often carried out in the verification and testing stages. This paper describes the process of building a software wave simulator based on data gathered on the Silm Lake near Iława, Poland, where scale ship models are used for research and training. The basis of the simulator structure is a set of shaping filters fed with Gaussian white noise. These filters are built in the form of transfer functions generating irregular wave signals for different input wind forces. To enable simulation of a wide range of wind speeds, nonlinear interpolation is used. The lake wave simulation method presented in this paper fills a gap in current research, and enables accurate modelling of characteristic environmental disturbances on a small lake for motion control experiments of scale model ships.
Fault Diagnosis of ME Marine Diesel Engine Fuel Injector with Novel IRCMDE Method
Authors: Shi Qingguo , Hu Yihuai , Yan Guohua 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
As an important component of the fuel injection system, the fuel injector is crucial for ensuring the power, economy, and emissions for a whole ME (machine electronically-controlled) marine diesel engine. However, injectors are most prone to failures such as reduced pressure at the opening valve, clogged spray holes and worn needle valves, because of the harsh working conditions. The failure characteristics are non-stationary and non-linear. Therefore, to efficiently extract fault features, an improved refined composite multi-scale dispersion entropy (IRCMDE) is proposed, which uses the energy distribution of sampling points as weights for coarse-grained calculation, then fast correlation-based filter(FCBF) and support vector machine (SVM) are used for feature selection and fault classification, respectively. The experimental results from a MAN B&W 6S35ME-B9 marine diesel engine show that the proposed algorithm can achieve 92.12% fault accuracy for injector faults, which is higher than multiscale dispersion entropy (MDE), refined composite multiscale dispersion entropy (RCMDE) and multiscale permutation entropy (MPE). Moreover, the experiment has also proved that, due to the double-walled structure of the high-pressure fuel pipe, the fuel injection pressure signal is more accurate than the vibration signal in reflecting the injector operating conditions.
Synergistic Performance Degradation of Marine Structural Elements: Case Study of Polymer-Based Composite and Steel Hybrid Double Lap Joints
Authors: Baykal Halis Haluk , Neser Gokdeniz 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The degradation of structures under the influence of a marine environment tends to be rapid and disruptive compared to that of structures that are far away from these influences. Efforts to consider these impacts in the design phase are increasing, with a view to the construction of more sustainable structures. However, experimental data from which designers and builders can benefit cannot be found in the relevant literature, especially when it comes to the effects of composite degradation. In this study, we experimentally investigate the combined effects of degradation factors such as a drying-wetting cycle, the shape of the structure, the variety of materials used in the structure, and the differences in the manufacturing of the materials . The structure chosen as an example is a hybrid structural double lap joint composed of epoxy resin, fibreglass composite, and steel, which is widely used in ship structures. The experiments considered four aging periods (zero, 30, 60 and 90 days) under a wet-dry cycle in a programmable corrosion chamber, two overlap lengths (short and long), two surface roughnesses of the steel parts (50 and 90 μm), and two surface preparation alternatives (uncoated and coated with epoxy primer). The synergistic effects of these parameters on the tensile strength, deformation and toughness of the joints were evaluated, and suggestions are made for ship designers. The attention of interested parties, and particularly ship designers, is drawn to the comparative effects of these degradation agents on performance.
Design of an Autonomous IoT Node Powered by a Perovskite-Based Wave Energy Converter
Authors: Drzewiecki Marcin , Guziński Jarosław 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This paper presents the results of experimental research focused on wave energy harvesting and its conversion to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The harvesting and conversion process was performed using a wave energy converter (WEC) consisting of a lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic perovskite material and a prototype power electronic circuit. The designed WEC was considered as a power supply for an end node device (END) of an IoT network. The END consisted of a long-range radio module and an electronic paper display. A set of physical experiments were carried out, and the results confirmed that an energy surplus was supplied by WEC compared to the energy consumed by the END. Hence, the proposed scheme was experimentally validated as a convenient solution that could enable the autonomous operation of an IoT device. The use case presented here for the proposed WEC was analysed for selected sea areas on the basis of wave statistics. The novelty of this paper arises from an investigation that confirms that WECs can significantly contribute to the development of wireless and mobile IoT communication powered by freely available sea wave energy.

Authors: Rowiński Lech , Truong Thanh Hai , Nguyen Phuoc Quy Phong 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The proposal of a system for the safe recovery of unexploded ordnance (UXO), chemical weapons (CW) and chemical warfare agents (CWA) dumped at sea mainly after WWI and WWII is described in this work. The proposed solution addresses the tasks required to neutralise thousands of tons of dumped material and the currently available solutions and proposed ideas. Requirements concerning the features of a recovery system are defined and scrutinised, these being intended to ensure the safety of this phase of the UXO/CW neutralisation process. To meet this requirement, the concept of a remotely operated, two-component working size underwater vehicle is proposed, supplemented by a properly sized and outfitted surface platform that is an important part of the recovery system. Finally, the basic components of the proposed system configuration are characterised, together with their functions during the recovery of dangerous CWA-related objects.
Role of Green Logistics in the Construction of Sustainable Supply Chains
Authors: Pham Nguyen Dang Khoa , Dinh Gia Huy , Pham Hoang Thai , Kozak Janusz , Nguyen Hoang Phuong 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The global supply chain has been growing strongly in recent years. This development brings many benefits to the economy, society, and human resources in each country but also causes a large number of concerns related to the environment since traditional logistics activities in the supply chain have been releasing a significant amount of emissions. For that reason, many solutions have been proposed to deal with these environmental pollution problems. Among these, three promising solutions are expected to completely solve environmental problems in every supply chain: (i) Application of blockchain in the supply chain, (ii) Use of renewable energy and alternative fuels, and (iii) Design of a closed supply chain. However, it seems to lack a comprehensive study of these solutions aiming to overcome the drawbacks of traditional logistics. Indeed, this work focuses on analyzing and evaluating the three above-mentioned solutions and the impacts of each solution on solving problems related to traditional logistics. More importantly, this work also identifies critical factors and challenges such as policies, laws, awareness, and risks that are found to be remarkable difficulties in the shifting progress of traditional logistics to green logistics. Finally, directions for developing and deploying green solutions to the logistics, supply chain, and shipping sectors toward decarbonization strategies and net-zero goals are discussed in detail.

Published: October 2023

Цель работы ‒ поиск взаимосвязи между биохимическими показателями березы повислой (Betula pendula L.) и накоплением тяжелых металлов в г. Тюмени. Пробы почв и растений были отобраны в условно-чистом районе, вблизи промышленных предприятий и транспортных узлов города. Содержание металлов в почвах и растениях определяли методом атомно-эмиссионной спектроскопии, биохимические показатели (продукты перекисного окисления липидов, содержание пигментов фотосинтеза, флавоноидов и активность каталазы) ‒ фотометрически. Накопление металлов почвами убывало относительно контроля в ряду: Cd>Pb>Cr>Ni>Zn>Cu>Fe>Co>Mn. Аккумуляция металлов в листьях березы убывала относительно контроля в ряду: Pb>Cr>Fe>Co>Cu>Ni>Zn>Mn>Cd. Загрязнение городской среды приводило к росту окислительных процессов в клетках березы, что сопровождалось снижением содержания флавоноидов и активности каталазы. Увеличение содержания хлорофилла и каротиноидов в листьях березы стало главным адаптационным механизмом к накоплению металлов, а изменение активности каталазы оказалось наиболее чувствительной ответной реакцией. Выявлены положительные корреляции между содержанием металлов и концентрацией продуктов перекисного окисления липидов и пигментов фотосинтеза. Содержание флавоноидов и активность каталазы отрицательно коррелировали с содержанием металлов в березе и почве. Согласно результатам факторного анализа степень влияния металлов на биохимические показатели убывала в ряду: Zn ≈ Cu > Cr > Ni ≈ Co ≈ Pb ≈ Cd > Fe ≈ Mn

Objetivo: Análise dos impactos ambientais da expansão urbana em Garanhuns – PE e a utilização de telhado verde na compensação do CO2.

Referencial Teórico: Por muitos anos se acreditava que os recursos naturais eram inesgotáveis, e não se falava em degradação dos ecossistemas ou desequilíbrios causados pelos impactos ambientais com as variações de temperatura, degelos e grandes mudanças atmosféricas isso foi desmistificado. A sustentabilidade surgiu para equilibrar e economia e os cuidados necessários para o meio ambiente. Práticas mais sustentáveis surgem como incentivo para as grandes cidades, juntamente métodos construtivos sustentáveis.

Método: A metodologia utilizada teve como objetivo uma abordagem exploratória e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, como base em suas hipóteses e teorias, para torna-lo objetivo e facilitando sua compreensão. Utilizou-se ainda um estudo de caso tipo explicativo, através de técnicas de levantamento de dados, como a modelagem ambiental. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos caracterizou-se como bibliográfico e de simulação.

Resultados: Como principal resultado o estudo observou que, com práticas construtivas sustentáveis, é possível ter uma diminuição significativa na captura de CO2, na cidade de Garanhuns, tornando possível a preservação do clima e meio ambiente. Futuramente, é necessário que pesquisadores, representantes da sociedade civil, órgãos públicos e indústria se unam para que os empreendimentos imobiliários sejam implementados seguindo o tripé da sustentabilidade, como preconizam os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável da ONU.

Implicações da pesquisa: Os resultados deste trabalho são de grande relevância para o desenvolvimento sustentável na construção civil, não só apenas do município de Garanhuns, devido ao impacto direto com a temperatura da cidade, mas sim de todo o agreste Pernambucano. Com o potencial de se tornar um trabalho que pode ser utilizado como referência na construção de residenciais futuros.

Originalidade/valor: Utilizando métodos construtivos sustentáveis em empreendimentos populares, espera-se contribuir de forma relevante para a problemática que se apresenta, pois se de um lado existe um déficit imobiliário, principalmente atingindo famílias em vulnerabilidade social, por outro, é imperativo que tal expansão urbana ocorra de uma forma sustentável, como preconiza o Objetivo do Desenvolvimento Sustentável 11 (Cidades e Comunidades Sustentáveis) e o objetivo de número 7 que traz como proposta (assegurar o acesso confiável, sustentável, moderno e a preço acessível a energia para todas e todos) da ONU.

Authors: KOKKINOU Aikaterini , KORRES George M. , PAPANIS Efstratios 
Published: October 2023

Smart growth means improving the performance in education, research and innovation and in digital society, using information and communication technologies. This paper attempts to critically analyses blue smart growth, as the long term strategy to support sustainable growth, both in marine and maritime related sectors, in order to define its contribution to achieve the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. There is little doubt that in order to face current economic crisis, Europe needs the contribution of all sectors of its economy. In this context, the marine and maritime sectors â€“ the 'blue economy' â€“ have an important role to play in the overall road to Europe's economic recovery and could make a major contribution to the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The initiative focuses on:

identifying a number of weaknesses to tackle barriers to innovation: under-investment in knowledge, poor access to finance, the high cost of intellectual property rights, slow progress towards interoperable standards, ineffective use of public procurement and duplications in research.
tackling gaps in knowledge and data about the state of our oceans, seabed resources, marine life and risks to habitats and ecosystems;
supporting the implementation of maritime spatial planning and knowledge-based support to management and decision-making towards the sustainable growth of the EU Mediterranean maritime economy in response to the societal and environmental challenges;
