Метафорический потенциал лексем «нэ» и «eyes» в кабардино-черкесском и английском языках

The article is dedicated to the study of the metaphorical potential of the lexemes "ne" and "eyes" in the Kabardino-Circassian and English languages. The relevance of the study is due to the need for a comparative study of visual metaphors in the Kabardino-Circassian and English languages, which will reveal the specific features of the national picture of the world of the studied lan-guages. In the course of the work, the empirical material was studied using various linguistic methods and the most productive visual metaphorical models in Kabardino-Circassian and Eng-lish were identified. The author comes to the conclusion that metaphorical images in the studied languages largely coincide, which can be explained by the universality of the biological functions of the eye as an organ. The paper notes a higher nominative density of the metaphorical model "Eyes are love" in the Kabardino-Circassian language and a higher metaphorical potential of the lexeme "ne".

Clustering the Research at the Intersection of Industry 4.0 Technologies, Environmental Sustainability and Circular Economy: Evidence from Literature and Future Research Directions

AbstractDigital technologies may enable the adoption of Circular Economy models in production and consumption processes, thereby promoting environmental sustainability. Literature on these topics has grown exponentially over the last decades, focusing on the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and its implications for environmental sustainability or circularity. However, extant literature reviews failed to cover the vast amount of literature produced, since they either have a narrow scope or focus on a limited sample of articles. To fill this gap, a bibliometric literature review was carried out on a sample of 1002 scientific articles on Circular Economy, Industry 4.0 technologies, and environmental sustainability. Descriptive statistics are coupled with a cluster-based analysis to provide a comprehensive coverage of the broader subject matter. Eight research clusters have been identified, with two general clusters (linkages between Industry 4.0, Circular Economy, environmental sustainability) and six topic-specific clusters (Big Data analytics for supply chain circularity, circular and sustainable additive manufacturing, urban sustainability, sustainable circular and digital (re)manufacturing, blockchain and data integration for a sustainable Circular Economy, miscellaneous and sectorial applications). Clusters are discussed in terms of research themes, methodologies, technologies, and circular strategies. Finally, a research agenda is drafted, pointing out six cluster-specific and four more transversal research directions. Hence, this research offers a detailed and quantitative overview of the research landscape, helping researchers and managers in understanding past contributions, assessing current standings, and identifying future directions of the research at the intersection of Industry 4.0 technologies, environmental sustainability, and Circular Economy.

Modeling of groundwater productivity in the Alfred Nzo District, South Africa, using relative frequency ratio and Shannon entropy models

Study regionAlfred Nzo District, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Study focusThe study aimed to identify groundwater potential zones in the Alfred Nzo District using advanced geographic information systems and remote sensing applications by integrating relative frequency ratio (RF) with predictor rate and Shannon entropy (SE) models. Seven influential factors that are thought to control groundwater availability in the Alfred Nzo District were considered to identify groundwater potential zones. These factors are drainage density, lineament density, rainfall, slope, land use and land cover, lithology, and soil class. The factors were weighted in the RF and SE approaches. About 70 % of boreholes were used as training datasets, and 30 % were used for validation. Groundwater potential zones were delineated by integrating all these factors and their corresponding weights in ArcGIS software. The accuracy of each model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve and area under curve techniques. New hydrological insights for the regionFive groundwater potential zones were found in the research area, which includes very poor, poor, moderate, good, and very good, by RF and SE models. The results of the models revealed that the SE model, with a success rate of 79.80 %, performed better than the RF, with a success rate of 75.10 %. The results of this research could be helpful in adequately managing groundwater resources in the research area.

Logistic Regression Analysis of Factors Affecting Robot Arm Movement Testing

Currently, with the rapid growth of robots in the industrial and service sectors, the robotic arm product is in high demand, and manufacturers need to deliver it on time. The manufacturer has a new product called “robot arm”. The issue is a high failure rate at the test station called the robot arm movement test. The manufacturer focused on the test process in order to reduce any variance that may result in a failure rate, with the operator's performance being their primary interest. Since the first group was built and tested, totaling 233 units of the robot arm, the logistic regression was applied with three independent variables. There are operators, working shifts, and product models. The results indicate day or night shifts are not related to the test failing. The operator and product model are important factors in the test failing. The 1.5–meter–long model has a higher chance of passing the test than the 1–meter–long model by about 13.66 times and the 2–meter–long model by 25.25 times. Operator D is the best at performing the robotic arm test and has a better chance of passing than the other operators (2.07 times for Operator A, 6.53 times for Operator B, and 7.01 times for Operator C). The action is that the software test needs to be updated for the 1– and 2–meter–long models. Moreover, Operators B and C need to be retrained as a priority. Then the manufacturer needs to focus more on the assembly process for yield improvement.

Multicriteria-based optimization of roller compacted concrete pavement containing crumb rubber and nano-silica

Abstract Roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is a brittle material with low tensile strength that does not contain steel or dowel bars. This, in addition to the rigidity of the RCCP, causes degradation or cracking before the RCCP reaches its service life. To improve the performance of the RCCP, crumb rubber (CR) can be used as an aggregate. Hence, in this study, CR was used to replace 0, 10, 20, and 30% of the fine aggregate in the RCCP. To mitigate the adverse effect of the CR on the properties of the RCCP, nano-silica (NS) was added by weight of cement in proportions of 0, 1, 2, and 3%. To select an optimal mix based on various performance criteria, multicriteria-based optimization was carried out using techniques such as order of preference by similarity to ideal solution, evaluation based on distance from average solution, weighted sum model, and weighted product model techniques. During experimentation, CR improved the consistency and reduced the mechanical and durability properties of the RCCP, while NS reduced the consistency and improved the mechanical and durability performance of the RCCP. The M2 mix (mix containing 0% CR and 1% NS) is consistently ranked as the best choice for multi-criteria decision-making techniques and sensitivity analyses due to its exceptional physical, mechanical, and durability attributes, ensuring reliability across various decision-making scenarios. This study provides insights into the decision-making process for the choice of appropriate RCCP mix produced with CR and NS for improved performance in pavement applications and the importance of utilizing waste tire rubber in concrete pavements to promote sustainability.

Designing waqf-based financing model for livestock project: empirical evidence from Indonesia

PurposeThis study aims to propose a productive waqf-based financing model for the livestock sector by optimizing idle waqf land owned by Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) for livestock breeding and fattening projects. Most pesantrens are established on waqf land and are located in rural areas with great potential for implementing waqf-based livestock projects.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a critical review on the models of waqf-based empowerment and financing for the livestock, agriculture or agribusiness sectors. Then, a proposed model was designed focused on livestock sector by using waqf land owned by pesantren. To strengthen the proposed model, the authors held a focus group discussion (FGD) by inviting regulators, academics, practitioners/consultants in animal husbandry, waqf, pesantren and economic empowerment.FindingsPesantren as nazhir of waqf land can cooperate with baitul maal wat tamwil (BMT) acting as nazhir of cash waqf to form a breeders’ cooperative as the vehicle to carry out the process of producing and fattening cattle. The project is performed under a mudharaba, musharakah or ijara contract, which is supervised by pesantren and BMT.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is based on the Indonesian context due to it is influenced by country-specific conditions. Even so, some of the findings in this study can still be adopted by waqf asset managers in other Muslim countries, which also have potential in terms of the number of pesantren and waqf assets.Social implicationsThe proposed model can improve the quality of life of the poor in remote areas by fulfilling the demand for beef consumption accompanied by sustainable economic empowerment.Originality/valueThis research focuses on solving the problem of meeting basic needs for beef by optimizing productive waqf in the livestock sector by involving the role of pesantren, which still needs to be discovered in the literature on the use of waqf land.

Embedding a novel phenology model into the Common Land Model for improving the modeling of land-atmosphere fluxes

Land surface models (LSMs) are essential tools for simulating the energy and momentum exchange between the land surface and the atmosphere. The vegetation phenology module, a pivotal component of LSMs, reflects the feedback of vegetation to climate variations. However, the vegetation phenology module in several LSMs, such as the Common Land Model (CoLM), face challenges concerning its rationality. Currently, the original satellite phenology mode in CoLM, which uses satellite-based leaf area index (LAI) data directly and statically, constrains the model's ability to accurately represent complex and dynamic ecosystem processes. In this study, we embedded a dynamic vegetation phenology model into CoLM, serving as a novel phenology module. We conducted an extensive comparison of the effects of various phenology modules on CoLM, focusing on their performance in the modeling of gross primary productivity (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) at both site and global scales. Results demonstrate an improvement in CoLM for modeling GPP and ET following the integration of the novel phenology module. Specifically, the Pearson's correlation coefficient for GPP increased by 1.29 % to 33.74 %, and for ET by 0.32 % to 7.47 % on a site scale. Furthermore, on a global scale, when compared with global reference datasets, the CoLM embedded with the novel phenology module successfully captures the spatiotemporal distribution of GPP and ET, and its performance is closer to the reference data than that of the CoLM with the original satellite phenology mode. This study highlights the importance of vegetation phenology in LSMs and its potential to improve the modeling of dynamic interactions between vegetation processes and environmental changes within LSMs.

Study on life-cycle carbon emission accounting of cane sugar products based on ammonia-based CO2 capture method

China’s cane sugar whole life cycle carbon accounting remains blank, which is urgent to formulate an emission reduction strategy. A life-cycle carbon accounting model for cane sugar products is established, with the carbon emission accounting conducted for planting, harvesting, transportation, processing, waste treatment, packaging, and other aspects of the cane sugar industry, which is multi-temporal and multi-scale. The quantitative and systematic assessment of carbon emissions from the cane sugar industry is accomplished. A new ammonia-based CO2 capture method has been innovatively proposed to achieve harmful carbon emission reduction from sugar products using sugar flue gas. The results show that the construction of the cane sugar life-cycle carbon accounting model can more accurately describe the comprehensive carbon footprint of the Chinese sugar industry. The carbon footprint of sucrose is −1.4259 CO2e/kg sugar, of which the highest carbon emission from agricultural fertilizers is 46.9 %. The new ammonia-based CO2 capture method enables 0.1319 t/t sugar of nitrogen fertilizer while achieving an overall reduction of 29 % in carbon emissions from sucrose, significantly reducing carbon emissions from agriculture. Its carbon footprint of cane sugar is greatly degraded to −2.1494 CO2e/kg sugar. The research provides a scientific basis for developing a carbon emission assessment for sugar while demonstrating that cane sugar has a sizeable carbon-negative potential in the future.

Building Oral Literature and National Character through Creative and Productive Learning Models as an Innovative Effort to Develop Students' Writing Skills

The Productive Creative Learning model is a strategic framework integrating various methodologies to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness. It aims to inspire students to create innovative works, necessitating subtle instruction in literature and a shift from traditional paradigms. This model promotes knowledge acquisition, meaningful discussions, and the production of innovative literary works by both students and lecturers. This quantitative study in education evaluates the efficacy of this teaching paradigm, specifically to enhance creative writing skills. Using Gall and Borg's (2003) development approach, researchers follow a three-stage process: gathering information through literature and field studies, developing the model via trials and improvements, and validating it through experimental design. This flexible approach suits social sciences and language studies, accommodating diverse behaviors and language usage patterns. The research targets Indonesian Language Education students in the 4th and 5th semesters at FKIP Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang, aiming to develop a model that: (1) aligns with curriculum objectives, (2) functions with or without lecturers, and (3) enhances creative writing skills. Activities include observing quasi-experimental classes, selecting short stories as teaching materials, preparing, testing, evaluating, and revising learning models. Effectiveness is evaluated using gain and t-tests. The Productive Creative Learning Model, akin to a literary studio, is an effective approach for teaching literature, complementing external literary organizations with its beneficial principles.

Model-based bioequivalence approach for sparse pharmacokinetic bioequivalence studies: Model selection or model averaging?

Conventional pharmacokinetic (PK) bioequivalence (BE) studies aim to compare the rate and extent of drug absorption from a test (T) and reference (R) product using non-compartmental analysis (NCA) and the two one-sided test (TOST). Recently published regulatory guidance recommends alternative model-based (MB) approaches for BE assessment when NCA is challenging, as for long-acting injectables and products which require sparse PK sampling. However, our previous research on MB-TOST approaches showed that model misspecification can lead to inflated type I error. The objective of this research was to compare the performance of model selection (MS) on R product arm data and model averaging (MA) from a pool of candidate structural PK models in MBBE studies with sparse sampling. Our simulation study was inspired by a real case BE study using a two-way crossover design. PK data were simulated using three structural models under the null hypothesis and one model under the alternative hypothesis. MB-TOST was applied either using each of the five candidate models or following MS and MA with or without the simulated model in the pool. Assuming T and R have the same PK model, our simulation shows that following MS and MA, MB-TOST controls type I error rates at or below 0.05 and attains similar or even higher power than when using the simulated model. Thus, we propose to use MS prior to MB-TOST for BE studies with sparse PK sampling and to consider MA when candidate models have similar Akaike information criterion.

Information Sharing Between Competitors With Endogenous Production Timing

We study two competing firms’ incentives for demand information sharing and their production timing strategies. One firm adopts routine timing, where her production time is fixed according to her previous product models’ manufacturing time. The other firm uses strategic timing, where his production time can be strategically chosen to occur before, concurrently with, or after that of the routine-timing firm. The firms decide whether to disclose their private demand information and make quantity decisions based on the available demand information, either simultaneously or sequentially. We analyze the optimal production timing decisions for the strategic firm under different information sharing scenarios and find that a pre-emptive move is generally not optimal. We demonstrate that endogenous production timing can create incentives for information sharing and characterize the conditions under which both firms share information, one firm shares information, or neither firm shares information. Additionally, we uncover several interesting implications of information sharing under endogenous production timing: firms are more likely to share information in intensified competition, a firm may benefit from its rival’s superior information capability, and the option of information sharing enhances social welfare, which may also benefit from more intense competition.

MODELING THE DISTRIBUTION OF EMERGENCY RELEASE PRODUCTS AT A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNIT

Despite the fact that much attention is paid to the safe operation of nuclear power plants, there is a possibility of an accident with the release of radionuclides. This is especially true in Ukraine, where there is a threat of the damage to nuclear reactors as a result of military operations. It is impossible to research the distribution of products emergency releases radioactive substances in laboratory conditions. Therefore, the only tool for the development predicting of an accident is the modeling the spread of a radionuclides cloud. The purpose of the research is a modeling the distribution of emergency release products in a nuclear power plant unit, suitable for the operative assessment of a development an accident. Results of the research: The mathematical model of the distribution emission products of a nuclear power plant has been developed, which takes into account the value of the initial activity of emission products, the rate of the settling radioactive particles, the wind speed components, the intensity changes radionuclide emission over time. The technique for solving the boundary value problem of modeling in conditions of a complex shape of the computational domain, taking into account the presence of obstacles to the spread of emission products has been developed. The use of the velocity potential equation in evolutionary form allows us to speed up the calculation process. The chosen splitting scheme of an alternating-triangular method allows to find the speed potential according to the explicit form at each splitting step. This allowed software implementation of the CFD model. The visualized models of the emission cloud distribution allow to determine the radiation situation in any place of the emission product distribution zone. The developed model makes it possible to quickly predict the development of an accident in space and time, which makes it possible to take measures to protect people from exposure in the shortest possible time. Conclusions: The obtained emission cloud propagation models and their visualization make it possible to determine the state of environmental pollution under various initial conditions during the development of the accident.

Paradigmatic-Syntagmatic Structure Relation in the Narrative of Animated Music Video “Sabda Alam” as a Campaign Design for Endemic Birds in Indonesia

There are many media campaign models, one of which is an animated music video. In 2021, an animated music video entitled “Sabda Alam” by students of SMK Raden Umar Said (RUS) Kudus won appreciation from national and international filmmakers at the Balinale International Film Festival 2021. As an audio visual-based campaign design, “Sabda Alam” has become one of the creative economic product models produced by vocational high school students. This video presents a narrative about the life of endemic birds in Indonesia that are threatened with extinction. The urgency of the issue of endangered species underlies the importance of this study to analyze the structure of visual narratives in animated music video designs that is able to carry campaign messages in ways that attract attention. This research uses a combination method, namely qualitative and quantitative analysis using a paradigmatic and syntagmatic structural approach in semiotic theory. Qualitatively, examines the visual narrative of animated music videos based on three storyline structures, namely the beginning, middle, and ending storyline. In each part of the storyline, analysis refers to the visualization of visual signs of the subject, event, and setting in the scene. While quantitatively, this study formulates the audience's level of understanding of the campaign message in the animated music video. The results of the analysis of the structure of the visual narrative show that there are paradigmatic associations from the scenes that link the existence of interest as a message clue. While syntagmatically, analysis refers to the existence of a function in the scene about something. The two are interrelated to produce a campaign message about the importance of protecting endemic birds in Indonesia. This study can be an academic reference, both in vocational high schools and universities, in developing inspiring campaign media designs in the creative industry.
