Quantitative evaluation of carbon emissions with mining technology development: a case study of an iron mine in China.

To quantitatively evaluate the carbon emission effects of various underground mining schemes in metal mines, a carbon emission calculation model specifically for underground metal mines was established. The carbon emissions stemming from the mine's production process were categorized into three components: carbon emissions from the production of consumed materials, fuel, and electricity; carbon emissions resulting from fuel combustion and explosive explosions, and the reduction of CO2 absorption due to the occupation of the surface industrial site. Subsequently, the carbon emission impact of underground metal mines was assessed using an example from an iron mine in Anhui Province, China. The results showed: (1) Among the underground mining processes, electricity consumption emerged as the primary source of carbon emissions. This underscores the potential for significant carbon emission reduction through the implementation of innovative electric power technologies in underground metal mines. (2) Mining methods with higher productivity showed clear advantages. They not only contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions per kiloton of ore from multiple perspectives but also led to a shorter mine lifespan and decreased CO2 absorption by woodlands occupied by the surface industrial site. Furthermore, these methods resulted in lower carbon emissions throughout the mine's lifespan. (3) Backfill mining proved to be effective in curbing tailings emissions and reducing the required area for a tailings pond. Consequently, this approach minimizes the CO2 absorption by woodlands occupied by the tailings pond.

PARPs and ADP-Ribosylation in Chronic Inflammation: A Focus on Macrophages.

Aberrant adenosine diphosphate-ribose (ADP)-ribosylation of proteins and nucleic acids is associated with multiple disease processes such as infections and chronic inflammatory diseases. The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)/ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) family members promote mono- or poly-ADP-ribosylation. Although evidence has linked PARPs/ARTs and macrophages in the context of chronic inflammation, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This review provides an overview of literature focusing on the roles of PARP1/ARTD1, PARP7/ARTD14, PARP9/ARTD9, and PARP14/ARTD8 in macrophages. PARPs/ARTs regulate changes in macrophages during chronic inflammatory processes not only via catalytic modifications but also via non-catalytic mechanisms. Untangling complex mechanisms, by which PARPs/ARTs modulate macrophage phenotype, and providing molecular bases for the development of new therapeutics require the development and implementation of innovative technologies.

Foundation of a framework for evaluating the impact of mining technological innovation on a company's market value

Technological innovation development plays a pivotal role in mineral economics. History shows that the difference between a mineral deposit's economic status and its uneconomic status lies in the mining technological innovation most prevalent in each phase of technological development. The significance of mining technology is that it curbs the negative impact of mineral deposit depletion by improving productivity, thereby keeping mineral exploitation profitable. This relationship makes it imperative to develop a framework that utilises this concept to sustain mining in the future. The framework will incorporate the benefits of technological innovation implementation to demonstrate its impact on a company's share price. It will help public investors understand share price performance while serving as an additional internal new technology investment approval tool.This paper demonstrates how applying technological development and innovation affects mining processes and its economics. This relationship is evident throughout the four historical mining technological stages, which started in the 18th Century with mechanisation, then remote control, automation, and currently, autonomous technology systems. At each stage, the need for a more productive technology arose as the effects of mineral resources depletion threatened mining's profitability. Thus, it can be judged that the future of mining profitability lies in the current advanced technologies that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. Nonetheless, while mineral commodity miners profit and firm market values grow, the growth is not empirically linked to the technological innovation development that drives it. Conversely, in other industries, the firm's technological development innovation resultant economic metrics, along with macroeconomic factors, are captured and empirically linked to stock market value. This exposes a gap in the financial impact evaluation of mining technology innovation implementation. Therefore, this paper explores the possibility of developing that framework for the mining industry by identifying improved productivity and cost metrics, profit margin growth, and the resultant share price performance.

Innovative Analytical and Statistical Technology in Election Forensics

The article examines the crucial role of innovative analytical and statistical technology in electoral forensics, which are increasingly used for detecting and preventing electoral corruption and fraud. By analysing vast amounts of data and detecting anomalies, electoral forensic investigations can contribute to fair and transparent democratic processes. The research aims to explore the effectiveness of these technologies and their potential impact on improving the transparency and fairness of electoral processes, using a multi-method approach that includes analysing relevant documents, media coverage, public opinion, and recent fraud cases. The authors divide the implementation of innovative analytical and statistical technologies for combating election corruption into four groups. The first is the analysis of statistical data and research on corruption, including election processes, which can be called secondary data analysis. The second is the analysis of documentary data containing information on corrupt actions and offences, including election processes. The third is the development of mathematical methods and algorithms using cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning for detecting anomalies and hidden patterns. The fourth is experimental developments in information technologies as a means of ensuring proper governance and combating corruption. While the use of algorithms for detecting anomalies in electoral statistics data can be an important tool, it should be used with caution, and in combination with other sources of information, to avoid the consequences of delegitimising the election results.

Devising a systematic approach to the implementation of innovative technologies to provide the stability of transportation enterprises

This paper reports a study of the main key components of influence on the stability of transportation enterprises in the market. A model for evaluating the effectiveness of innovation activity in the transport industry, which takes into account indicators of expenditures on innovations, has been built. It makes it possible to determine the effectiveness of introduced innovations, which indicates the appropriate level of innovation potential and the ways that the enterprise must take to increase it. The main directions of innovative development of transportation enterprises were investigated. The assessment of the economic stability of transportation enterprises in the market has established that the current state of development of enterprises is characterized by a weak level of their innovative activity. A systematic approach to the introduction of innovative technologies by a transportation enterprise in the market has been devised. This approach makes it possible to determine the required level of enterprise stability and to form a relationship between the level of innovative technologies and their stages of implementation under conditions of environmental variability. This makes it possible to increase competitive advantages, improve the efficiency of production and economic activity of enterprises. The practical implementation of the proposed model for evaluating the effectiveness of innovation activity in the transport industry has been carried out, which made it possible to allocate the most important indicators of innovation activity for the enterprise. These include specific efficiency of innovation; unit costs of innovation; innovative potential of the enterprise (defined as the proportion of own innovative developments). According to the study results, it is determined that the specific efficiency of innovations (SEI) exerts the greatest influence, which, with an increase by 1 %, provides an increase in financial stability by 1.48 %

Examining ICT Innovation for Sustainable Terminal Operations in Developing Countries: A Case Study of the Port of Radès in Tunisia

There is a lack of technology innovation studies in the maritime sector focusing on developing countries. Generally, these countries present various limitations due to their own social, economic, and political contexts. Moreover, the lack of leadership support, stakeholder involvement, training, resources, and financial and academic support affects successful implementation of technological innovation. The objective of this paper is to emphasize the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the maritime sector and port companies of developing countries by investigating the impact of an ICT solution on port operations from berth to gate through yard operations. Our case study consists of the implementation of a Terminal Operating System (TOS) in the Port of Radès, the main port in Tunisia. An examination of the port operations before and after the implementation of the TOS is carried out. Then, the effects of TOS implementation on terminal operations are studied through a survey based on Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and submitted to managers of three port stakeholders. Key findings indicate that TOS allows an increase in the level of productivity from the quay crane to the gate, allowing decisions to be made based on real-time data and ensuring that the terminal is operating at its full potential. More specifically, berthing and delivery service times are improved thanks to the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and the streamlining of the gate and yard activities system. The results also indicate that reputation is progressively improving due to the ability to locate and monitor hazardous goods flowing through the port, and the ability to dispatch engine movement inside the port using the new terminal layout. However, in contrast with the port authority, the results highlight a lack of adaptability on the part of the stevedoring company, which requires time to progressively adapt to the new rules and constraints.

Optimal Reutilization Strategy for a Shipbuilder under the Carbon Quota Policy

Reducing carbon emissions is crucial for humanity. Recently, the International Maritime Organization has set carbon emission quotas to limit the extensive carbon emissions from the marine industry. This paper examines how shipbuilders can adopt the rebuilding of decommissioned ships to reduce carbon emissions and also make more profits. Incorporating the carbon emission quota policy, we formulate the dynamic rebuilding model of decommissioned ships and derive the optimal rebuilding and pricing control strategies for the shipbuilder. We investigate the evolutionary dynamics as well as the impact of carbon quotas and carbon emission savings on shipbuilder’s strategies. The study’s findings suggest that shipbuilders have the potential to improve their profitability while also contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction. This can be achieved through the implementation of technological innovations aimed at reducing carbon emissions from their production activities. The government has a crucial role to play in regulating and managing shipbuilders. In cases where the cost per unit of carbon quota is deemed excessively high, it may be necessary to establish appropriate regulations that prevent shipbuilders from directly benefiting from the trade of carbon quotas. This approach can also help ensure the positive development of the carbon trading market.
