Pulp and Paper Industry at the Start of the First Five-Year Plan: Plans and Practices

In Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union, formed in 1922, the pulp and paper industry was poorly developed. Following the First World War, the Civil War and the Soviet-Polish War, the loss of the western regions, where more than a third of paper products were produced, was also a negative factor. Despite the presence of large forest areas, there were not enough resources for their development, and there was no machine-building base. As a result, the Soviet state imported significant volumes of semi-finished products, paper and cardboard. The article analyzes the plans of the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR for the development of the pulp and paper industry in the second half of the 1920s, the design and progress of construction of enterprises. It was revealed that the main economic body sought to gradually reduce the import of wood pulp, pulp, paper and other necessary materials through the expansion and construction of production facilities. Trusts and regional economic bodies played a major role in the location of enterprises. For them, new construction provided an opportunity to attract capital investment and create industrial centers. It is concluded that large-scale plans for the development of the pulp and paper industry in the Soviet Union in the second half of the 1920s. were poorly developed from a financial and personnel point of view, were based on the weak level of development of the industry and reflected the optimistic ideas of economists and business executives about the potential of the new economic policy. On the contrary, the competition for projects of pulp and paper enterprises in 1928 reflected the transition from decentralized to centralized design of facilities and demonstrated the priorities of the Soviet government regarding the location of new production facilities.

TEACHER EDUCATION IN INDIA

At the time of independence, India inherited a system of education, which had a limited reach. It was inaccessible to a vast majority of children of the school-going age groups. After independence, the expansion of educational facilities and enrolment and higher degree of retention of children in schools became the top priority items for educational planners and administrators. The unplanned expansion also projected questions relating to quality and standards of education. The need for specialized resource institutions and organizations for bringing about qualitative improvement in education was increasingly felt. For example, qualitative improvement of education necessitated the formulating of new national policies for educational expansion. Research-based development of curriculum and textbooks, effective teaching learning strategies and preparation of quality teachers were all new problems which came up for consideration.

한국과 미국간의 총허용어획량 제도 비교 분석

Topshell catch by Haenyeo (women divers) has been one of Jeju's economically significant harvests of marine living resources. Total allowable catch (TAC) has been introduced to restore the topshell stock. This paper examines the impacts of the TAC regulation on topshells in Jeju through a comparative study with the red snapper TAC in the Gulf of Mexico in the United States. The results showed that topshell production has not been restored since the TAC was introduced in 2001. The red snapper in the United States is a case of successfully restoring fishing stocks by introducing TAC. It will only be possible to increase topshell production by restoring the marine ecosystems off Jeju. The efforts to increase cultural activities, and to host various festivals have been irrelevant to the restoration of the stock. Without efforts to enhance the habitat quality, the decreasing topshell stocks will threaten the economic sustainability of Haenyeo. The continued expansion of municipal wastewater treatment facilities, the tightened regulation on effluents in the flounder aquaculture facilities, and reduced inputs of chemicals related to farming activities are expected to enhance the habitat quality of village fishing grounds. I hope that more women divers will increase their harvests while following their traditionally inherited community culture in their restored fishing grounds in the near future.

Permodelan Perkuatan Stabilitas Lereng Menggunakan Analisis Kesetimbangan Batas Dan Metode Elemen Hingga (Studi Kasus : Desain Dinding Penahan Tanah Gitet 275 Kv Substation Betung).

The increasing national energy demand is influencing the presence of existing power plants. South Sumatra is a region contributing to the national energy supply, leading to the expansion of facilities to generate electricity. Consequently, a new transmission line will be constructed at the 275 KV Betung Station in South Sumatra. With the need to enhance distribution capacity by adding new transmission lines, there is a requirement to expand the area of the Gitet, which was previously 183x98 m2, to 138.55 x 152.68 m2. This study aims to analyze the stability of the embankment, estimated to have an initial height of 8.5 meters. Additionally, plans will be made for constructing retaining walls to expand the Gitet Substation Betung area. Slope Stability Analysis will be conducted using limit equilibrium and finite element methods. The limit equilibrium analysis will employ the Fellenius method, while the Finite Element Method will use Plaxis software. From the analysis results, it's determined that a Retaining Wall (RW) is needed to stabilize the embankment. The design for slope stability involves a 6 meter high counterfort Retaining Wall equipped with Bored Piles having a diameter of 60 cm and a length of 22 meters for every 2.15 meters along the RW alignment.

Assessing the efficacy of agricultural cold chain facility expansion in China

This study determines the effectiveness of agricultural cold chain facilities in preserving quality and extending storage time of vegetables and fruits in China. National data were collected through interviews with 10,263 farmers across all provinces except Tibet. Using ordinary least squares regression analysis, several conclusions and policy implications emerge. First, cold chain facilities significantly reduce loss ratios (about 2% on average) and extend storage days for fruits (up to 28 days), but some facilities fail to demonstrate significant effects for vegetables. This implies that stakeholders, especially vegetable producers, must strategically select storage methods. Second, regional disparities exist, with the less developed Northwest facing more acute post-harvest losses, underscoring the need for tailored interventions addressing infrastructure gaps. Third, cold chain transportation distinctly influences vegetable preservation, decreasing losses and storage time. Improving vegetable transport efficiency benefits farmers and consumers. Fourth, supporting facilities like packing houses extend storage days for fruits and vegetables, highlighting the need to construct such infrastructure especially where shipping is limited. Moreover, with the projected expansion of cold chain facilities in China, these findings offer crucial guidance for policymakers, agencies, and farmers in selecting and distributing infrastructure to mitigate losses and support agricultural sector growth. As China advances its cold chain capabilities, this study demonstrates the vital role of such facilities in enhancing food security, reducing waste, and providing fresh produce to consumers.

The use of a geogrid – geotextile geo-composite to improve soft soils for construction works at a facility expansion site in Western Canada

Soft soils pose several challenges for construction works – from site accessibility and trafficability challenges, to earthworks, foundation design and other related challenges. This paper presents the use of a geocomposite reinforcement material to improve site accessibility and trafficability for a facility expansion project at a manufacturing and processing site in Western Canada. The soil stratigraphy at the site consisted of approximately 0.1 m to 0.8 m layer of organic topsoil (peat moss), underlain by soft lacustrine clay that extended up to depths of 11.5 m to 14.6 m below the ground surface. The soft surficial soils at the site made it challenging, or impossible in some areas, for the field investigation and construction equipment and crew to access the proposed construction areas. There was a high risk of equipment getting stuck or falling over in various areas, which had reportedly occurred during previous works on the site. To create a suitable working and trafficable surface for the required construction works, the geo-composite reinforcement material was placed directly on top of the stripped subgrade, followed by a 300 mm layer of compacted well-graded pit run. The use of the geo-composite reinforcement material helped to create the required stable working surface for equipment and crew to complete the construction of the facility expansion.

Empowerment Potential in Gig Economies for Lower Income Strata

The growth of the gig economy is directly related to the expansion of digitalization and internet facilities due to the convenience of connecting firms and employees online. The growth of this economy has had an impact on the reduction of unemployment. The methodology used is a mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis. Data utilized are from government sources. Preliminary data indicated that 56% of new employment being generated in India is by gig economy companies across the blue-collar and white-collar workforce. The study looked into balance sheets and other financial data of Uber and Swiggy. The growth of this sector involved the understanding of cost-effectiveness for the employer as well as the employee working on a contractual or temporary basis. It was found that the important factors were whether the economy is developed or developing, additional income or primary income, and the education and skill set of the employee. Employment opportunities have increased and this could be the future for countries like India, where the demographic dividend could be effectively utilized. This sector's problem is ensuring that workers are not being exploited. The paper will analyze the increasing importance of the “Gig Economy.” How important are these economies in solving issues like employment for both developed and developing economies? Is this an alternative to the ‘Formal Employment’ type of model for economies? How far does employment in this sector help empower the workforce? Does it address the gender inequalities that exist in all economies? How important is this sector as an addition /alternative to the informal sector of developing economies? These and many such questions will be attempted in the course of research.

Empowering sickle cell disease care: the rise of TechnoRehabLab in Sub-Saharan Africa for enhanced patient's perspectives.

Sickle-cell Disease (SCD) is a major public health problem in Africa, and there are significant obstacles to its comprehensive management, particularly in terms of access to appropriate healthcare. This calls for inventive approaches to improve patients' prospects. Among the major challenges to be met are the primary and secondary prevention of certain serious complications associated with the disease, such as neurocognitive, motor and respiratory functional disorders. This perspective argues for the rapid creation of specific, cost-effective, technology-supported rehabilitation centres to advance SCD care, identify patients at high risk of stroke and implement tailored rehabilitation strategies. The TechnoRehabLab in Lubumbashi illustrates this shift in thinking by using cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality (VR), serious games and mobile health to create a comprehensive and easily accessible rehabilitation framework. Diagnostic tools used to perform functional assessment can be used to identify cognitive, balance and walking deficits respectively. Transcranial Doppler enables early detection of sickle cell cerebral vasculopathy, making it possible to provide early and appropriate treatment. VR technology and serious games enable effective rehabilitation and cognitive stimulation, which is particularly advantageous for remote or community-based rehabilitation. In the context of African countries where there is a glaring disparity in access to digital resources, the TechnoRehabLab serves as a tangible example, demonstrating the flexibility and accessibility of technology-assisted rehabilitation. This perspective is an urgent call to governments, non-governmental organisations and the international community to allocate resources to the replication and expansion of similar facilities across Africa.

Firefly-Aquila optimized Deep Q network for handoff management in context aware video streaming-based heterogeneous wireless networks

Handoff management is the method in which the mobile node maintains its connection active when it shifts from location to other. The devastating success of mobile devices as well as wireless communications is emphasizing the requirement for the expansion of mobility-aware facilities. Moreover, the mobility of devices requires services adapting their behavior to abrupt context variations and being conscious of handoffs, which make an intermittent discontinuities and unpredictable delays. Thus, the heterogeneity of wireless network devices confuses the situation, since a dissimilar treatment of handoffs and context-awareness is essential for every solution. Hence, this paper introduced the Deep Q network-based Firefly Aquila Optimizer (DQN-FAO) for performing the handoff management. In order to establish the handoff management, the process of selecting network is very important. Here, the network is selected based on the devised FAO algorithm, which is the consolidation of Aquila Optimizer (AO) and Firefly algorithm (FA) that considers the metrics, such as Jitter, Handoff latency, and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) as fitness function. Moreover, the handover decision is taken by the DQN, where the hyper-parameters are tuned by the devised FAO algorithm. According to the hand over decision taken, the context aware video streaming is happened by adjusting the bit rate of the videos using network bandwidth. Besides, the devised scheme attained the superior performance based on the call drop, energy consumption, handover delay, throughput, handoff latency, and PSNR of 0.5122, 7.086 J, 10.54 ms, 13.17 Mbps, 93.80 ms and 46.89 dB.

Balancing development and sustainability: Assessing risks and protecting aquatic biodiversity on US college and university campuses

AbstractExtensive urbanization impairs biological communities through landscape alteration and physiochemical changes to stream ecosystems. Analogous to urban development in cities, new building and facility expansion on university campuses can lead to dramatic changes in impervious cover and consequently, increased stormflow impacting downstream ecological communities. Here, we analyze the extent and relevance on a nationwide scale to determine campuses with the highest risk for ecological impairment. From the US‐wide analysis of 5761 college/university campuses, ~45% of campuses were within critical aquatic species watersheds, and >5% were identified as buffering critical habitat. The highest risk campus our study identified was selected to compare the impacts of planned, conventional development versus sustainable development on a sensitive aquatic species, the federally threatened Jollyville Plateau salamander (Eurycea tonkawae). Impervious cover, simulated increases in stormwater runoff, and total suspended solids (TSS) from the conventional expansion is estimated to lower salamander density. Conversely, an alternative campus expansion plan allowed for increased development but permitted provisions for reduced runoff and TSS, thereby maintaining current salamander densities. Our findings show that sustainable campus development plans have the potential to mitigate ecological disruption within watersheds, and that campus management and policies are critical for preserving biodiversity in the future.

Can Direct Air Capture Deliver?

Carbon removal is one, if not the, hottest topic in today’s battle over correcting the global course of climate change, and direct air capture (DAC) is the current darling of the carbon removal space. DAC works to gather CO2 directly from the atmosphere with an engineered system, like how trees absorb CO2 for photosynthesis, only faster and with a smaller, but manmade, overall footprint. Popular systems use chemical reactions to extract CO2 from the captured air. Once captured, the CO2 is compressed and stored in geological formations deep in the ground, or in some cases, used to produce low-carbon-intensity products like diesel or aviation fuel. The rest of the captured air is returned to the atmosphere. The Biden administration has put its weight behind the expansion of DAC facilities in the US. The recent Inflation Reduction Act included tax credits for DAC CO2 as well as broadening the eligibility of qualified DAC facilities. It decreases the amount of CO2 capture requirements from 100,000 tonnes per year to just 1,000. In addition, the US Department of Energy (DOE) recently awarded up to $1.2 billion for a pair of DAC facilities in Texas and Louisiana. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm called the award a “once-in-a-generation investment.” When announced in August 2023, it was the world’s largest investment in engineered carbon removal. The projects—Battelle’s Project Cypress and 1PointFive’s South Texas DAC hub—are expected to eventually remove greater than 250 times more CO2 than the largest DAC facility currently operating. The US government isn’t the only entity putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to DAC. Some of the most active investors read like a who’s who of the tech industry. Microsoft has signed on to use Climeworks services and agreed to purchase up to 315,000 metric tons of CO2 removal from Heirloom Carbon Technologies. Climeworks operates a DAC plant in Iceland. It is one of the biggest globally, capturing and storing 36,000 mtpa of CO2. Both Climeworks and Heirloom are partners in Project Cypress. Climeworks’ estimated $12-million Orca plant came online in September 2021 and is due to capture 4,000 tonnes of CO2 from the air every year—equivalent to the emissions from about 870 cars. The captured CO2 is then mixed with water and injected into basalt rock 1 km underground, where it slowly turns into a solid carbonate mineral over a 2-year period. Amazon is purchasing 250,000 metric tons of carbon removal credits over a 10-year period from 1PointFive’s $1-billion Stratos DAC project in Ector County, Texas, and investing in CarbonCapture Inc. The DAC investment is part of Amazon’s Climate Pledge to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. In April, online payment firm Stripe teamed up with Google parent Alphabet, Facebook parent Meta, Shopify, and McKinsey to launch an initiative called Frontier, which plans to purchase $925 million worth of carbon removal by 2030 from carbon removal companies in an effort to advance research and development efforts and lower costs.

부산 A공동주택 내 택배물류 공동화센터(LDC)의 운영실태 분석

The logistics environment has experienced rapid growth and diversification, and the areas of city logistics and life logistics have grown significantly compared to the past. After COVID-19, the volume of online purchases and courier deliveries has increased significantly due to the continuation of the non-face-to-face environment and digitalization. In addition, as the importance of safety and security in the place where I live is increasing, small and large conflicts in last-mile delivery are becoming a social issue, and one of the ways to resolve them is the LDC (Last-mile Delivery Center). Compared to its importance, the actual status of existing operating facilities is insufficient, so it can be said that it is of primary importance to examine the operation status and identify problems focusing on specific centers that are actually in operation. It is expected that it can be greatly utilized as basic data for step-by-step application of smart substantiation projects that are considered through convergence with the 4th Industrial Revolution technology. The case area, Busan A apartment house, is an apartment complex with approximately 1,150 households and 9 buildings, completed in 2007. It is an area with more than 10,000 apartment complexes and officetels nearby. Above all, it has been in operation for 8 years from 2015 to 2023. It can be said that the fact that this is the area where the above center is operated is consistent with this study. As a result of the analysis of the operation status, it was figured out that the LDC operation in the case area has developed to a stable level. However, only three of the initial large number of delivery companies are currently participating, so there is a limit to creating additional logistics demand, and most of the work is done by hand. These areas were identified as major limitations. LDC not only improves the efficiency of life logistics-scale delivery and enhances the safety of the complex, but also has the advantage of reducing unnecessary vehicles in the city and thereby reducing adverse environmental impacts. Related policies are also being promoted at the public level. This is being actively explored. The results of this study are expected to be a great reference in promoting related policies, so they can be said to have a different significance from existing studies that only argued for facility expansion.
