Research regarding the simulation of the autonomy for the electric vehicles in the case of the WLTC test cycle

Abstract In current mainstream research, energy consumption and autonomy are just a few of the the major objectives anticipated for electric road vehicles. The production of electric vehicles is continuously expanding, offering to the market a large variety of constructive variants in order to satisfy the requirements for their exploitation. Also, in the current energy context, it is expected from the electric car manufacturers, to deliver high quality models which can be characterized as the actual alternatives to actual existing solutions equipped with an internal combustion engine. Under these circumstances, the continuous research it is a high priority for everyone electric vehicle producers, where simulation on the computer is basically not absent as a go-between step prior to the validation of the final draft proposals. According to these assumptions, in the first part of the article you will find the AMESim simulation platform points, where it describes the model made with it and the simulated test cycle. In the second part of the article, as a consequence of the simulation of the experimental electric vehicle, are highlighted some aspects of the autonomy behaviour in the case of simulation on the World-wide harmonized Light duty Test Cycle (WLTC), for all four speed zones specific to it.

Does Anyone Care about the Opinion of People on Participating in a “Social” Metaverse? A Review and a Draft Proposal for a Surveying Tool

In recent years, the attention paid to the metaverse in the scientific world has increased; the hottest topics include system architecture and enabling technologies, as well as business, privacy, ethical, and security issues. On the other side, at the mainstream level, it is well known that the company Meta (formerly Facebook) is striving to realize its interpretation of a “social” metaverse. As Meta is a big leader of social media, it is reasonable to guess that, in the future, users will participate in a new social platform, such as that which the company is building by depicting unlimited and engaging opportunities. Regardless of Meta, we ask what the opinion of people is about this possible future scenario. A literature search of previous works about this topic has been done; the few results we found were not properly on topic and showed heterogeneous content. A survey on interpretations of the metaverse of major information and communication technologies (ICT) companies that impact the consumer world was undertaken; the results show that Meta is the most prominent company with the mission of building a ”social” metaverse worldwide. Finally, a draft of a tool for assessing the predilection of people for a “social” metaverse, based on various facets of the future social platform, is proposed.

The Impact of Performance-Based Assessment on Academic Writing Instruction

This study seeks to determine the positive impact of PBA, which synchronizes student achievement in the learning process with final grades. Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) is a pedagogical strategy used to achieve student targets in the following learning objectives, especially in Academic Writing courses that aim to make students competent novice writers. The Performance-Based Assessment teaching style allows students to write seminar-ready draft proposals at the end of the Academic Writing course. It was decided to adopt a single case study research design to get more thorough data about the respondents. This study used Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) in academic writing classes. This study shows that Performance-Based Assessment improves student learning, notably in Academic Writing, proving that PBA is a good teaching method.

“I notice I'm getting more involved, interested, and excited about my future topic.” Action research as a transition from research steps to navigating graduate students' scholarly dispositions

Graduate students often approach research with predefined steps emphasising procedural aspects that occasionally expose their inadequate preparation for research as social practice. The purpose of this paper is to show how an action research (AR) methodology, in conjunction with English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), has facilitated the scaffolding of explicit formal, rhetorical, procedural, and strategic knowledge in research discourse. We followed a cyclical action research model consisting of 1) recognising students' limited understanding of research as a social practice, 2) developing interventions to promote understanding of how language is structured, represented, and negotiated in scientific discourse, 3) results of the intervention, and 4) reflection. Thematic analysis of six participants' data, including their tasks, reflections, and draft proposals, revealed a discernible progression towards scholarly thinking, transformative learning, and the embodiment of scholarly identity. Integrating ESP and SFL frameworks enhanced our ability to guide students through research-specific discourses, moving beyond a purely theoretical understanding to engage in authentic practices. This approach contributed to the cultivation of Communities of Practice (CoP) in which student-faculty collaboration fostered a shared scholarly mindset and facilitated the gradual integration of students into these academic communities.

Integrating climate change into legislative drafting: An analysis of regulatory impact assessment obligations and practices in the EU and Finland

AbstractDiverse aspects of climate change must be considered when drafting legislation to successfully address mitigation and adaptation objectives. In this article, we examine the legal requirements to conduct regulatory climate impact assessment (climate RIA) and analyse to what extent these have been implemented in the European Union (EU) and Finland. Our particular interest is Article 6(4) of the European Climate Law, a provision obligating the European Commission to assess the consistency of draft measures or proposals with the Union's climate objectives. Our results demonstrate that climate RIA has not been applied methodically in the EU or Finland and that where it has been conducted, it has mainly addressed impacts of the legislative proposals on greenhouse gas emissions and neglected impacts on climate change adaptation and carbon sinks. These results indicate that the obligations have been inadequately implemented. While an explicit requirement to conduct climate RIA heightens acknowledgement of climate impacts in legislative drafting, guidance in fulfilling the requirement in practice is equally essential.

Urban blight affects billions of city dwellers worldwide. Green spaces and trees are the best way to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change or urban climate, and they raise a wide range of health issues. In addition to pollution, there is increasing talk of allergies, a global public health problem. This article aims to analyse the complex relationship between urban green spaces and allergic diseases, from a medical, horticultural, and landscape architecture perspective. It is becoming increasingly difficult to create a liveable environment around us with few (and fewer) urban 'survivors' to choose from. A recent draft proposal would restrict or ban the planting of any tree species with at least two scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals supporting its allergenicity. Restrictions and bans would primarily limit the use of wind-pollinated plants, while evolution is moving towards wind pollination rather than insect pollination. Restrictions, especially bans, are a very powerful tool that can easily end up having the opposite effect to the original intention. Public health is a fundamental issue for everyone, yet before adopting legislation that can be considered definitive, it is worth considering the arguments from the point of view of tree protection, showing what our environment would be like, what ecosystem services we could expect if we were surrounded only by climate-tolerant but non-allergenic taxa. In addition to reviewing the state of allergy and plant allergy in our country, we also have a strong aim to bring the "two societies" closer together. We believe that by finding common ground between the medical, public health, and green professions, we can move urban plant use in a direction that will create a better, more aesthetic, and above all, healthier and more liveable environment for urban dwellers.

The development directions of light-duty electric vehicle designs in the aspect of resource saving

Problem. Every year, light-duty electric vehicles are used more and more for the delivery of various industrial goods, food products, and postal items to end consumers, in particular, on the orders of individuals. Such electric vehicles are called last-mile delivery vehicles. According to the main design and operational parameters, they belong to two categories – to three- or four-wheeled motor vehicles of category L and four-wheeled category N1. Today, light-duty electric vehicles with very different load capacities (from 50 kg to 800 kg) and autonomous mileage (from 30 km to more than 150 km) are manufactured and operated. It is clear that their operational characteristics are so different that their adequate comparison of different models is very often practically meaningless. And the selection of the values of the main technical and operational parameters at the stage of developing sketch proposals according to different structural schemes and on the basis of different aggregate base causes significant problems. Goal. The determination of the directions of development of the domestic field of design and production of promising competitive models of light-duty electric vehicles, taking into account modern problems of resource conservation, and development of recommendations regarding the selection of the values of their main technical and operational parameters and characteristic relative indicators. Methodology. On the basis of analytical studies, the classification of light-duty electric vehicles by load capacity was developed and the determination, taking into account the developed classification, of the recommended values of their defining technical and operational parameters. On the basis of expert assessment of existing systems of modular unification of structures of light-duty electric vehicles, the concept of their modular design system was developed. Results. On the basis of analytical studies, the classification of light-duty electric vehicles by load capacity was developed and the determination, taking into account the developed classification, of the recommended values of their defining technical and operational parameters. On the basis of expert assessment of existing systems of modular unification of structures of light-duty electric vehicles, the concept of their modular design system was developed. Originality. The relative indicators of the technical excellence of light-duty electric vehicles are proposed, the concept of a modular design system of standard-sized series of maximum-unified basic chassis of such vehicles is developed. Practical value. The proposed classification of small-capacity electric vehicles by cargo capacity greatly facilitates the selection of their relative evaluation indicators and operational parameters at the stage of developing draft proposals for the creation of promising and competitive models for the organization.

The Concept of the Serbian Peasant Cooperative State

The paper introduces and interprets the corporatist plan of organizing and establishing the ‘Serbian Peasant Cooperative State,’ which was developed by the collaborationist authorities in Serbia during World War II. Born out of deep disillusionment with interwar parliamentarism and under the influence of the German occupation system in Serbia, this unrealized concept of state organization was an ultra-conservative response to the political conditions in occupied Serbia, as well as one of the aspects of its planned integration into Hitler’s new imperial order founded on the premise of Nazi hegemony and known as ‘New Europe.’ The present analysis is based on the limited number of surviving primary historical sources that testify to the genesis and character of the draft proposal. To provide context for interpreting the plan and the thinking behind it, the paper extends the chronological framework to the entire interwar period.

Bulgaria Implements BEPS Pillar Two Rules, Leading to Effective Tax Cost Uplift for MNEs

In this note, the author describes and comments on the draft proposal for an amendment to the Bulgarian Corporate Income Tax Act to transpose the EU Minimum Taxation Directive (2022/2523). This reflects the OECD’s initiative to introduce a global minimum tax rate of 15% for large-scale groups (the Pillar Two solution). Bulgaria is one of the few EU Member States with a headline tax rate of less than 15% and, as such, the amendment will have a significant impact.

Review of the Draft Proposal for the Eighth Amendment of the Criminal Code

U radu se daje kritički osvrt na Prijedlog Osme novele Kaznenog zakona, prema nacrtu iz rujna 2023., koja donosi niz novina, od kojih su dvije najznačajnije: uvođenje teškog ubojstva ženske bliske osobe(čl. 111.a KZ-a) i neovlaštenog otkrivanja sadržaja izvidne ili dokazne radnje (čl. 307.a KZ-a). Autori smatraju da je navedenu novu inkriminaciju femicida potrebno preformulirati u rodno utemeljeno ubojstvo žene te ga uvrstiti u čl. 111. KZ-a. Uvođenje femicida kao kvalifikatornog oblika ubojstva nije nužno, ali bi poslalo snažnu generalnopreventivnu poruku za taj najteži oblik nasilja nad ženama te olakšalo njegovo statističko praćenje. U vezi s tim smatraju važnim definiratirodno utemeljeno nasilje kao kvalifikatornu, odnosno podredno otegotnu okolnost kod svih kaznenih djela. Također, autori smatraju da se inkriminacija iz čl. 307.a KZ-a preklapa s kaznenim djelom povrede tajnosti postupka iz čl. 307. st. 1. KZ-a. Pritom predlažu izričito propisati pretežniji interes kao razlog isključenja protupravnosti ili će se on primjenjivati po analogiji s čl. 300. st. 2. KZ-a. Autori smatraju da bi trebalo odustati od predloženog dodatnog pooštravanja propisanih kazni kod spolnih delikata jer će stvoriti disbalans u odnosu na druga kaznena djela. Autori kritički analiziraju i preostale odredbe predložene Novele.

As interest in using artificial intelligence increases, can UK and EU compliance legislation keep pace with the rate of change?

Legislation usually follows technological developments, in this case the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). AI could assist predictions of case outcomes for litigators by methodically reviewing vast data lakes related to previous judgments, reviewing the issues in each related case along with conclusions the judge reached. Therefore, draft proposals such as the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA), the EU's AI Liability Directive (AILD), guidance from the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as well as recommendations from organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regulating the use of AI from both the UK and EU will be discussed. The development of common AI definitions, technical standards and related tools can assist in the requirement for international harmonisation through other mechanisms as well as judicial awareness of the impending issue. The key areas of research will focus on the following: proposed legislation, existing legislation, journals and books. Case law will also be reviewed to ascertain any awareness from the judiciary as to the complexities related to AI.

Disrupting nature? A critical analysis of the genderless toilet drive represented in South African newspapers

Global cultures and imperialist Western ways of being and doing pervasively penetrate and influence societies and individuals, overarching the nations at the bottom of development. This globality operates unidirectionally, biased toward the Western gravity of power, excluding, disenfranchising, erasing, and debasing the values of the global South’s peripheries. Consequently, the theory of globalization has focused on how localized groups in subaltern developing countries respond to the weighty forces of globalism. This paper presents a critical analysis that explores the omnipotent ideologicalhegemonic power of the media to cultivate, enculturate, and superimpose values normative to the ethos of global culture. We employ critical discourse analysis to analyze seven selected newspapers that reported on a draft proposal by the Department of Basic Education that envisions the eradication of gender labels through the imposition of genderless toilets in South African schools. Critical reading of the newspaper articles demonstrated clear Afrocentric pushbacks; other counternarratives displayed the societal incongruity of such a vision. The media frames corresponded to audience frames that vehemently rejected the unisex toilet proposition. The frames continue to invite readers to question the redefinition of gender identities and performances that promote global cultural values that supposedly disrupt nature.

Towards 2030: transforming asset emissions in Australian production operations

Operators are building roadmaps to reduce emissions at an increasing rate because of initiatives such as the Australian Government’s Safeguard Mechanism and global draft proposals to make emissions from plants auditable. There are three main levers for integrated gas operators: (1) Optimising existing operations to improve efficiency. (2) Designing sustainable developments and modifications. (3) Rebalancing portfolios to lower carbon equivalent intensity assets. Large capital projects are typically proposed as responses to the second lever – such as carbon capture and electrification. However, operating assets hold pressing challenges to reduce ~10–20% of emissions and need to develop viable roadmaps. Through our work in Australian integrated gas industry, we found that the majority of CO2-e operational emissions reduction opportunities can be addressed by discrete improvement programmes on rotating reliability, process optimisation and methane leak reduction. We discuss how asset operators can drive their Operations, Energy Transition and Digital Functions to realise these significant CO2-e benefits on a scale of months by: (1) Developing a value-driven decarbonisation strategy for operations, identifying benefits in production, cost and emissions, front-loaded with high impact, rapid 20–30% reduction initiatives that can be realised in the next 1–2 years. (2) Implementing effective and auditable real-time monitoring of plant emissions direct from existing control systems, sensors and imaging techniques. (3) Deriving a programme of tech-enabled optimisation levers and bringing this into new designs for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), hydrogen and electrification projects for maximum benefits.

HDF5eis: A storage and input/output solution for big multidimensional time series data from environmental sensors

Modern high-performance computing (HPC) tasks overwhelm conventional geophysical data formats. We describe a new data schema called HDF5eis (read H-D-F-size) for handling big multidimensional time series data from environmental sensors in HPC applications and implement a freely available Python application programming interface (API) for building and processing HDF5eis files. HDF5eis augments the popular Hierarchical Data Format 5 with a minimal set of additional conventions that facilitate fast and flexible data input and output protocols for regularly sampled (in time) data with any number of dimensions. HDF5eis supports arbitrary ancillary data (e.g., metadata) storage in columnar format or as UTF-8 encoded byte streams alongside time series data. Our HDF5eis API enables simple and efficient access to big data sets distributed across a potentially large number of small heterogeneous files through a single point of access. HDF5eis outperforms conventional seismic data formats by up to two orders of magnitude in terms of random read access times. We contribute HDF5eis as an operational tool and an experimental draft proposal that will help establish the next generation of data standards in the earth sciences.

Development and Analysis of an Innovative Layout Scheme of an Articulated Two-Section Tram Tramcar

Purpose. The main objective of the work is to develop and analyze the optimal layout of an articulated two-section tramcar for the creation of promising competitive models of cars of a significantly higher technical level, as well as to assess the prospects for their mass production provided that the maximum passenger capacity is ensured. Methodology. Based on the analysis of the regulated technical requirements for the dimensional parameters of tramcars, maneuverability parameters and permissible loads on their wheeled bogies, as well as on the analysis of the main technical parameters of existing models of single and two-section tramcars equipped with two biaxial wheeled bogies - body length and curb weight - the permissible length of their bodies and the estimated weight in the equipped state were determined. Two biaxial wheeled bogies were replaced by four uniaxial bogies. Findings. An innovative layout of an articulated two-section tramcar based on the use of four single-axle wheeled bogies and minimization of overhangs of body sections was proposed and developed, provided that the maximum length of a single tramcar and the track of wheeled bogies and the width of the car were preserved. A methodology has been developed for assessing the effectiveness of the proposed design solutions and the comfort of passenger transportation by single and two-section tramcars with two biaxial and four single-axial wheeled bogies, the preliminary designs of which have been developed according to three different layout schemes. Originality. For the first time, a layout of an articulated two-section tramcar is proposed based on an innovative solution - the use of four uniaxial wheeled bogies instead of two biaxial ones. A methodology for analyzing and evaluating the feasibility of using the proposed layout for creating promising models of a two-section tramcar has been developed. Practical value. The choice of an optimal innovative layout scheme with four uniaxial wheeled bogies for the creation of promising competitive models of articulated two-section tramcars with optimized parameters of their body length and nominal passenger capacity with higher passenger comfort compared to existing analog tramcars has been substantiated at the stage of developing draft proposals.

Pendampingan Penyusunan Jadwal Kegiatan Harian Integratif Mahasiswa Universitas Darussalam Gontor

The Community Service Program (CSP) aims to assist in preparing an integrative daily schedule for santri students at UNIDA Gontor. In terms of methods, this CSP uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which includes; stages of identification, planning, and preparation of program design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. This CSP results in forming a design schedule for daily student activities that integrate Islamic boarding schools, Islamization, and language programs. In conclusion, the CSP carried out has succeeded in fulfilling the stated goals and achievements, namely the design of an integrative daily activity schedule for UNIDA Gontor santri students; as an effort to improve student non-academic achievements. This aligns with the vision that UNIDA Gontor wants to achieve, namely a university with a boarding school system, Islamization of knowledge, and mastery of the language of the Qur'an. However, this CSP also has limitations. The results in a design schedule for daily student activities are still in the form of a draft proposal that has yet to become a policy, so follow-up is needed at the future CSP.
