Assessment of Phytotoxicity and Efficiency of Date Palm Waste Compost on Barley Seeds Germination and Seedlings Growth

ABSTRACT The valorization of date palm wastes as bioresources has received little attention. In this context, the feasibility of date palm waste valorization through composting and the application effects on barley plants production under control condition was investigated. The principal requirements for compost to be safely used are stability and maturity that refer, respectively, to the microbial biomass activity’s level, germination tests, and plant growth bioassays or phytotoxicity. Indeed, the phytotoxicity of composted date palm waste used for seed germination and seedling growth bioassays was researched. The finished compost values of the C/N ratio were 15.36 and 18.58%, 1.21%, 0.54%, and 0.95% for total organic carbon, N, P, and K contents, respectively. The concentration of heavy metals and microelements were lower and met the requirement established by national standards. Moreover, the end product was free from harmful pathogens like Salmonella, Escherichia coli, total coliforms, and fecal coliform bacteria. Application of compost extract (especially 25%, 50%, and 75%) did not affect barley seed germination, stimulated hypocotyl and radicle growth and is characterized by a GI exceeding 90%, demonstrating its stability and lack of phytotoxic effect. Moreover, compost promotes plant growth, improved physiological parameters, photosynthetic pigments, and plant biomass. According to the results, the prepared compost especially at the dose T3 (soil amended with 30 t/ha) increased the nutrients availability and uptake which may be the reason for an increase in photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll synthesis, and dry matter accumulation. Composting may well represent an acceptable solution for disposing of date palm waste and be of great interest to sustainable agriculture in Tunisia oasis ecosystems.

The Significance of Communication in Resolving Disputes: Insights into the Negotiation Process in BRT Project, Peshawar

Negotiation means reaching a mutual consensus with the aim of resolving the disputes with acceptable solutions for all the parties. Negotiation is common in day-to-day affairs, but is of more significance in the areas, like contracts, business deals and domestic problems. The literature shows that negotiation is a communication process and provides a medium for the opposite sides to sit across the table and resolve the disputes and conflicts. Contrary to this, the available literature emphasis more on the decision-making aspect of the negotiation, but lacks discussion on the communication processes, which can in fact make or break a deal, project, or a contract. To address this issue, the aim of this study was to investigate the communication processes in an actual negotiation scenario. For this purpose, the communication processes in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) were studied and 30 interviews were conducted from the project team and the affected persons. Data was analyzed using applications of constructivist grounded theory which leads to the formation of Communication as a major theme of study. The results exhibit that communication serves as a medium for exchange of information and has an integral part in negotiation processes. Meetings, interactions, discussions, and networking emerged as major themes of communication in this study, and it mediates the negotiation process and leads to the resolution of disputes. Therefore, effective communication plays a significant role in negotiation, reaching agreements and resolving disputes. This research studied negotiation and communication in BRT project only. Further studies could analyze the negotiation processes in other projects and scenarios to further elaborate mediation of communication in negotiations.

AN ANALYSIS OF CROSS-BORDER TERRORISM BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN: STRATEGIES AND CHALLENGES

The history of conflict between India and Pakistan indeed stems from the partition in 1947, which led to the creation of two separate nations based on religious lines. The region of Jammu and Kashmir has been a focal point of contention between the two countries, leading to several conflicts, including three major wars. The Kashmir issue has not only fueled tensions between India and Pakistan but has also had broader implications, including the proliferation of terrorism. Various militant groups have operated in the region, with some receiving support or sanctuary from elements within Pakistan. This has led to cross-border terrorism, with attacks in India being orchestrated or supported from across the border. The escalation of conflicts between India and Pakistan has contributed to a nuclear arms race in the region, raising concerns about nuclear proliferation and the potential for a catastrophic conflict with global ramifications. Efforts to address the root causes of the conflict and promote peace between India and Pakistan are crucial for regional stability and global security. Policy alternatives could include diplomatic dialogue, confidence-building measures, and efforts to address the underlying grievances of both sides. Confidence-building measures could include measures to reduce military tensions, such as agreements on border security and communication channels to prevent misunderstandings or miscalculations. Furthermore, addressing the Kashmir issue in a manner that respects the aspirations of the Kashmiri people while addressing the concerns of both India and Pakistan is essential. This could involve dialogue between the stakeholders, including India, Pakistan, and representatives of the Kashmiri people, to find a mutually acceptable solution. Ultimately, sustained efforts from both India and Pakistan, supported by the international community, will be necessary to achieve lasting peace and security in the region. KEYWORDS: Conflict, Government Policies and strategies, International Peace, Kashmir Issues.

A new approach in the study of wave propagation in cubic/non-cubic crystal structures of materials

The crystal structure of a material plays significant role in determining physical properties. Therefore, a detailed study of the crystal structures of materials is necessary. In this article, a method is used that gives acceptable solutions for wave distribution in these structures. The idea of this method is taken from plate theories. In this research, the second-order plate theory is used to calculate the sound velocity in cubic and non-cubic crystal structures. The interesting point of this idea is that with the help of this methodology, both the bulk behavior of the material and the behavior of the crystal structure of the material can be studied at the same time. More than 100 cases include 17 materials are studied in this research. According to the knowledge of the authors, this idea is used for the first time and has not been studied and verified before. Also, it is added a comprehensive overview of plate theories in the appendix which can give the readers better views about present modeling. It can be seen that the results of the present method have a difference of less than 1 percent compared to other methods for cubic materials in some of the studied cases.

Analysis of standard unit carbon emission and cost assessment of the changing building envelope over material production phase

It is undeniable that the material production stage is crucial to the whole life cycle of structures. This study proposes the window-to-envelope ratio (WER) based on standard units to determine the inherent relationship between changes in door and window areas and carbon emissions, presuming six distinct types of engineering practices for various buildings are selected. It was concluded that larger door and window areas would result in more embodied carbon emissions. Additionally, as the size of windows and doors increases, the costs and embodied carbon of prefabricated and cast-in-place construction become more comparable. According to the analysis, when the building scale is larger and the door and window opening area is also larger, prefabrication has more potential for saving carbon than cast-in-place building, but with a cost of approximately 10–20% higher. Considering the perspective of consumers, producers, and markets, this study revealed a costing assessment methodology based on standard units for prefabricated structures. In this methodology, producers choose and create various residential layouts based on the distinctive requirements of consumers, while tracking the trends in carbon emissions and production costs. This assessment method tries to create a favorable atmosphere for moral market activity and offers an acceptable solution for the trade-off between environmental and economic factors throughout the material production phase of the building.

SKHASH: A Python Package for Computing Earthquake Focal Mechanisms

Abstract We introduce a Python package for computing focal mechanism solutions. This algorithm, which we refer to as SKHASH, is largely based on the HASH algorithm originally written in Fortran over 20 yr ago. HASH innovated the use of suites of solutions, spanning the expected errors in polarities and takeoff angles, to estimate focal mechanism uncertainty. SKHASH benefits from new features with flexible input formats and allows users to take advantage of recent advances in constraining focal mechanisms for small magnitude or poorly recorded earthquakes. The 3D locations of earthquakes and the velocity models used are varied when finding acceptable solutions. As a result, source–receiver azimuths are reflective of errors from the earthquake locations and velocity models, in addition to the takeoff angles. Users can consider weighted P-wave first-motion polarities derived from traditional or machine-learning picks, cross-correlation consensus, and/or imputation techniques using SKHASH. Focal mechanism solutions can also be further constrained using traditional, machine learning, and/or cross-correlation consensus S/P amplitude ratios. With improved reporting of individual and collective P polarity and S/P amplitude misfits, users can better evaluate the success of the solutions and the quality of the measurements. The reporting also makes it easier to identify potential issues with metadata, including incorrectly reported station polarity reversals. In addition, by leveraging vectorized operations, taking advantage of an efficient backend Python C Application Programming Interface, and the use of a parallel environment, the Python SKHASH routine may compute mechanisms quicker than the HASH routine.

Socioeconomic Impacts of Climate Mitigation Actions in Greece: Quantitative Assessment and Public Perception

Appropriately designed and implemented climate mitigation actions have multiple co-benefits (yet some trade-offs cannot be excluded) that result in substantial social and economic value beyond their direct impact on reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions. Despite their wider acknowledgement by the research community, decision makers and the public have incomplete information on these multiple effects. This paper has a twofold objective: First, through analytical bottom-up approaches, it assesses, in quantitative terms, the macroeconomic effects and the public health benefits attributed to a variety of mitigation actions under consideration in the context of the Greek Energy and Climate Plan. Second, it investigates, through a social survey, how citizens perceive climate change and value these multiple impacts of mitigation actions, and to what extent they are willing to pay for them and support the adoption of policy measures aiming at the green transition of the Greek economy. We show that mitigation actions bring about significant health benefits, particularly in cities, and generate significant positive macroeconomic effects, particularly if mitigation actions focus on the decarbonization of the building sector and on the exploitation of local renewable sources. We also argue that most people do not realize that climate mitigation actions can have wider benefits for society, such as tackling energy poverty, improving public health, and creating new jobs. Unwillingness to pay tends to be the prominent attitude. People who are more reluctant to cover a part of the cost of environmental protection are less likely to perceive that climate change is one of the main challenges at global and national level and support the adoption of climate mitigation policies. In this context, the national strategy for climate change should focus on effectively informing and engaging the public in climate mitigation strategies, strengthening the public trust in government institutions, promoting mutually acceptable solutions with the local communities, and providing incentives for changing citizens’ behavior towards climate-related actions.

Поиск множества допустимых управленческих решений в технических системах

Scientific and technological progress leads to a continuous increase in the number and complexity of designed systems, as a result of which there is a need to create modern information and intelligent decision support systems. Such systems will make it possible to predict various scenarios of management decisions, which in turn helps to increase the efficiency and quality of the project. Effective use of automation in the search for management decisions can reduce the time spent on analysis, improve the quality of decisions made and increase the overall productivity and competitiveness of the organization. The purpose of this work is to substantiate the scientific approach to the issue of automated search for acceptable management solutions in technical systems. To describe management decisions, a concept is proposed that allows one to compactly depict the structure of complex hierarchical systems. Many solutions are described, and the problem of finding acceptable management solutions is formulated. A system for automated search for management decisions is described. An algorithm is presented for searching solutions that are feasible with respect to a certain condition from a set of possible ones, based on removing the vertices of the search tree that are invalid according to the specification. A description of the automation of building a model of many technical solutions is presented. Using a model to search for a set of acceptable management decisions allows you to more accurately predict various scenarios for the management decision made and helps to increase the efficiency and improve the quality of the project.

Model-Assisted Optimization of Cobalt Biosorption on Macroalgae Padina pavonica for Wastewater Treatment

The release of heavy metals into the environment as a result of industrial and agricultural activities represents one of the century’s most significant issues. Cobalt is a hazardous metal that is employed in a variety of industries. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) combined with Box–Behnken design (BBD) was utilized to optimize the Co(II) ion removal from synthetic wastewater by the brown macroalga Padina pavonica. The influence of three factors, namely algal inoculum size, pH, and initial metal concentration, was assessed in optimization studies. RSM proposed a second-order quadratic model with a p-value of <0.0001 and R2 of 0.984 for P. pavonica. According to the data related to RSM optimization, the maximum percentage of Co(II) removal of 84.3% was attained under the conditions of algal inoculum size of 5.98 g/L, pH of 6.73, and initial Co(II) concentration of 21.63 mg/L. The experimental data from the biosorption process were fitted well with the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models. The maximal Co(II) adsorption capacity was estimated using the Langmuir model to be 17.98 mg/g. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was shown to have the best fit for Co biosorption by P. pavonica, showing that the mechanism of Co(II) biosorption was chemisorption controlled by surface biosorption and intra-particle diffusion. Thermodynamic parameters were also investigated to evaluate the Gibbs free energy for the Co(II) ion, which was positive, showing that the biosorption process is nonspontaneous and exothermic, and the cobalt biosorption rate decreases with increasing temperature. Algal biomass was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. These analyses revealed the biosorbent’s diverse functional groups and porous, rough appearance. Therefore, P. pavonica can be used to implement sustainable, eco-friendly, and acceptable solutions to water pollution problems.

Model and Algorithm for a Two-Machine Group Scheduling Problem with Setup and Transportation Time

This paper investigates a two-machine group scheduling problem with sequence-independent setup times and round-trip transportation times, which is derived from the production management requirements of modern steel manufacturing enterprises. The objective is to minimize the makespan. Addressing limitations in prior studies, we consider a critical but largely ignored transportation method, namely round-trip transportation, and restricted transporter capacity between machines. To solve this problem, a mixed-integer programming model is first developed. Then, the problem complexity is analyzed for situations with both single and unlimited transporters. For the NP-hard case of a single transporter, we design an efficient two-stage heuristic algorithm with proven acceptable solution quality bounds. Extensive computational experiments based on steel plant data demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in providing near-optimal solutions, and the maximum deviation between our algorithm and the optimal solution is 1.38%. This research can provide an operable optimization method that is valuable for group scheduling and transportation scheduling.

Tackling Guideline Non-concordance: Primary Care Barriers to Incorporating Life Expectancy into Lung Cancer Screening Decision-Making-A Qualitative Study.

Primary care providers (PCPs) are often the first point of contact for discussing lung cancer screening (LCS) with patients. While guidelines recommend against screening people with limited life expectancy (LLE) who are less likely to benefit, these patients are regularly referred for LCS. We sought to understand barriers PCPs face to incorporating life expectancy into LCS decision-making for patients who otherwise meet eligibility criteria, and how a hypothetical point-of-care tool could support patient selection. Qualitative study based on semi-structured telephone interviews. Thirty-one PCPs who refer patients for LCS, from six Veterans Health Administration facilities. We thematically analyzed interviews to understand how PCPs incorporated life expectancy into LCS decision-making and PCPs' receptivity to a point-of-care tool to support patient selection. Final themes were organized according to the Cabana et al. framework Why Don't Physicians Follow Clinical Practice Guidelines, capturing the influence of clinician knowledge, attitudes, and behavior on LCS appropriateness determinations. PCP referrals to LCS for patients with LLE were influenced by limited knowledge of the life expectancy threshold at which patients are less likely to benefit from LCS, discomfort estimating life expectancy, fear of missing cancer at the point of early detection, and prioritization of factors such as quality of life, patient values, clinician-patient relationship, and family support. PCPs were receptive to a decision support tool to inform and communicate LCS appropriateness decisions if easy to use and integrated into clinical workflows. Our study suggests knowledge gaps and attitudes may drive decisions to offer screening despite LLE, a behavior counter to guideline recommendations. Integrating a LCS decision support tool that incorporates life expectancy within the electronic medical record and existing clinical workflows may be one acceptable solution to improve guideline concordance and increase confidence in selecting high benefit patients for LCS.

Legal and Ethical Recommendations for Video Recording in the Operating Room: A Review of Literature

Background: One of the legal and ethical issues related to the medical profession and health centers is patients’ uncertainty regarding the type and quality of clinical care provided and the extent to which the health care providers comply with the necessary criteria in delivering health care. This study investigated the civil, criminal, and ethical aspects of using cameras in the operating room by describing a case that a legal complaint had filed regarding this issue and a review of the literature.Methods: The study was a case report and narrative review. First, we introduce a case that found out that the patient admitted for brain tumor surgery did not operate on him and requested to review the videos of the operating room. Then, we investigated this issue in the literature. Results: The purpose and outcome of using Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) in the Operating Room (OR), may vary depending on the goals, needs, and expectations of different stakeholders. Some countries may use CCTV in the OR primarily for educational, research, or quality improvement purposes. In contrast, others may use CCTV in the OR mainly for security, surveillance, or legal purposes. Conclusion: The suggestion of recording the events done in the operating room environment using a CCTV can be an acceptable solution and as a legal document and evidence.

Comparing autonomous vehicle acceptance of German residents with and without visual impairments

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will greatly impact the lives of individuals with visual impairments, but how they differ in expectations compared to sighted individuals is not clear. The present research reports results based on survey responses from 114 visually impaired participants and 117 panel recruited participants without visual impairments, from Germany. Their attitudes towards autonomous vehicles and their expectations for consequences of wide-spread adoption of CAVs are assessed. Results indicate significantly more positive CAV attitudes in participants with visual impairments compared to those without visual impairments. Mediation analyses indicate that visually impaired individuals’ more positive CAV attitudes (compared to sighted individuals’) are largely explained by higher hopes for independence, and more optimistic expectations regarding safety and sustainability. Policy makers should ensure accessibility without sacrificing goals for higher safety and lower ecological impact to make CAVs an acceptable inclusive mobility solution.

E-procurement Adoption Barriers encountered by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the Republic of South Sudan

E-procurement adoption is not without its challenges despite facilitating the purchasing process. Hence, this quantitative cross-sectional survey study aimed to examine the e-procurement adoption barriers encountered by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Republic of South Sudan. The 300 SMEs selected out of 1215 SMEs through systematic sampling methods resulted in 213 valid responses with a 71% response rate. Empirical data were derived from the survey questionnaires distributed through Google Forms and Portable Document Format (PDF) via email and evaluated with descriptive and principal component analysis (PCA), relative importance index (RII), and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Resultantly, multiple national e-procurement implementation methods and incorrect reassembly of data transmitted were ranked the highest barrier among the technological factors, followed by delays in the transmission of data and information, and the technology immaturity due to political and legal factors, lack of widely acceptable e-procurement software solutions and flexibility for management factors, company culture and cost of IT investment for organizational factors. Future works could compare the e-procurement adoption barriers perceived by SMEs in emerging and developed nations and ascertain their e-procurement acceptance. Meanwhile, stakeholders could attract more IT firms in the current market through adequate training, a unified platform, holistic e-procurement adoption techniques, high public awareness, employment of IT experts, forums to exchange ideas on e-procurement, and utilization of passwords, information encryptions, or data. This study proposed employing mixed-method techniques to examine and alleviate SMEs' e-procurement adoption barriers.

Feasible Parameters of Ohmic Areas of YBaCuO Thin Films Switched via Moving Unstable Border between Superconducting and Normal States

A system of two equations based on one of the classical electricity laws was used to determine the sizes and temperatures of ohmic areas formed under action of overcritical nanosecond electrical pulses. Calculations were performed at five points for three experimentally obtained voltage–current (V-I) dependences for samples with the same geometry but different critical current density values. The system included two additional conditions to satisfy the known descriptive model of transition from superconducting (SC) to a normal (N) state—S-N switching—and to obtain physically acceptable solutions over the entire current range of V-I dependence. The solution for each point takes the form of a function, since the initial temperature increase of the primary channel across the film is entered as a parameter. Two modes of concentrated energy release in the channel were disclosed. Their random appearance leads to an unexpected degradation of the sample. As such, the obtained results correspond to the situations occurring during the experiments. The validity of applying additional conditions to the system is discussed. In the discussion, it is also explained at which moments the moving S-N border acquires the velocity of the order of ~106 m/s, comparable to the Fermi velocity. Consideration to describe the moving unstable S-N border as being constantly in a state of Richtmyer–Meshkov instability is presented.

Enhanced Classical Radiation Damping of Electronic Cyclotron Motion in the Vicinity of the Van Hove Singularity in a Waveguide

Abstract We study the damping process of electron cyclotron motion and the resulting emission in a waveguide using the classical Friedrichs model without relying on perturbation analysis such as Fermi’s golden rule. A Van Hove singularity appears at the lower bound (or cutoff frequency) of the dispersion associated with each of the electromagnetic field modes in the waveguide. In the vicinity of the Van Hove singularity, we found that not only is the decay process associated with the resonance pole enhanced (amplification factor ∼104) but the branch-point effect is also comparably enhanced. As a result, the timescale on which most of the decay occurs is dramatically shortened. Further, this suggests that the non-Markovian branch-point effect should be experimentally observable in the vicinity of the Van Hove singularity. Our treatment yields a physically acceptable solution without the problematic runaway solution that is well known to appear in the traditional treatment of classical radiation damping based on the Abraham–Lorentz equation.

Optimal Design of Tilted Building Envelope Considering Air Conditioning Energy Demand, Daylight Utilization and Glare Protection—Case Study

An important energy-saving method to optimize building envelope design is the integration of local climate characteristics. This study attempts to find sloped facade configurations to balance air conditioning energy demand and daylight utilization for four directions in an area with a hot climate. Tilt angle dependence of the air conditioning energy demand, useful daylight illuminance (UDI) and daylight glare index (DGI) are selected to investigate the acceptance thresholds of the tilt angle. The final facade’s configuration is achieved by employing the graphical optimization method. An acceptable solution that balances better daylight performance and less energy consumption by air conditioning is developed. Due to the considered city being located in a low-latitude area with great daylight availability as well as a fully dimmable light control strategy, unbearable glare reduction can be achieved by benefiting from the sloped facades, without necessarily sacrificing much usable daylight. Meanwhile, there is no obvious increase in the demand for lighting energy consumption, and a good outward view is preserved. The sloped rather than vertical facade provides natural solar shading to the east-, south- and west-oriented windows while allowing low-angle winter solar heat to warm the building space. Tilt angles between 35°and 40° are preferred for the east facade, and smaller tilt angles of between 30°and 35° are recommended for the south facade. Larger tilt angles of between 40°and 45° are preferred for the west facade. However, the north-facing facade’s outward tilt would cause an undesirable increase in air conditioning energy demand. The annual air conditioning energy demand of the east-, south- and west-facing space is found to separately decrease by 7.1%, 7.3% and 9.9%, respectively, benefiting from the sloped facades.

Assessment of acceptability of black wheat flour products and factors affecting it among Anganwadi beneficiaries and workers: A mixed-method prospective observational study.

Malnutrition is very common in India and black wheat might be an acceptable solution to this problem. The aim of the study was to assess acceptability of black wheat flour products and factors affecting it among Anganwadi beneficiaries and workers. This was a mixed-method prospective observational study. All the family members enrolled for supplementary nutrition and Anganwadi workers/helpers of three randomly selected Anganwadi centers were taken in the study. For qualitative data, in-depth interview was done, and for quantitative data, 9-point hedonic scale was administered. Braun and Clarke's six-phase data analysis framework was used for qualitative data. A total of 16 pregnant females, 14 lactating females, 16 children, 2 Anganwadi workers, and 3 Anganwadi helpers participated in the study. Thematic analysis of the data revealed five significant themes. It included characteristics of black wheat flour, the process of making the product (experience of making the product), family acceptability, availability, and hygiene. Participants expressed that the black color appearance is one of the negative influencers in the acceptability of black wheat flour. Most of the participants liked the taste as well as the texture. However, kneading, rolling, and puffing were more challenging than traditional wheat flour. On the hedonic scale, the mean rank of acceptability is lowest for color (3.03), followed by puffing (3.49) and highest for texture (4.87) and taste (4.60). Our study results revealed that black wheat is acceptable to the Anganwadi beneficiaries and workers.

Comparison of regression, ANN, ANFIS, and ChatGPT prediction of turning cutting force

In this study, training and prediction performance on turning data were investigated with ChatGPT, which is a popular AI platform nowadays. In this context, the resultant cutting forces obtained as a result of different turning simulations with FEM, training and estimation were made using regression, ANN, ANFIS methods. Using the same data, training and predictions were made with ChatGPT-3 with different prediction algorithms. As a result, the lowest average error rates in the predictions made with the training data; 2E-6% for ANFIS in prediction methods and 0.19% for ANN1 conversation in GPT-3 were obtained. The lowest average error rates in the predictions made with the test data; 5.41% for regression using logarithmic Box–Cox transformation in prediction methods, and 22.66% for ANN1 conversation in GPT-3 were achieved. The highest prediction performance in GPT-3 conversations was observed when GPT-3 was asked to make predictions with ANN algorithm on both training and test data. As a result, GPT-3 has not yet generated acceptable solutions for machining problems due to its low performance in predicting test data. However, due to the fast advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, it is obvious that solutions to this and more engineering problems will be generated in near future.
