Opportunity and feasibility studies for the deployment of green hydrogen in Algeria

This study focuses on the technical and economic feasibility of green hydrogen production systems using three wind turbine technologies. These are the VESTAS V90, GAMESA G80 and LAGARWEY LW72 models, each with a power of 2MW. These turbines are being deployed at three distinct sites (the north, the high plateau and the Algerian south). The results obtained allow us to compare the costs and volumes of hydrogen production for the three sites and wind turbine technologies chosen. Results clearly show that VESTAS wind tur-bines offer the most advantageous costs for hydrogen production, with costs of $20.16/kg, $10.47/kg and $9.11/kg for the Algiers, El-Bayadh and Adrar sites respectively, compared with costs of $29.18/kg, $14.37/kg and $12.81/kg for the same sites using LAGERWEY wind turbines. These results highlight the importance of evaluating both the quantity of hydrogen produced and the related cost, taking into consideration the choice of site as well as the wind turbine technology used.

Comparison of the presence of high production volume chemicals in farmed and wild fish highly consumed in catalonia and their risk assessment

The decline in fish populations and the depletion of marine resources have sparked concerns about sustainable fish production, driving the innovation of new aquaculture methods. While some argue that wild fish are healthier than farmed fish due to less exposure to contaminants and pathogens, wild fish can accumulate contaminants from more contaminated water sources. The slower growth of wild fish and their longer exposure to the environment may contribute to higher pollutant levels in fish tissues. In this study, we focus on 25 contaminants considered as high production volume chemicals (HPVCs), such as organophosphate esters (OPEs), benzothiazoles (BTs), benzosulfonamides (BSAs) and phthalates (PAEs). The compounds were extracted from the edible part of the fish using the QuEChERS method and analysed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.A total of 74 samples were analysed from three of the most commonly consumed species in Catalonia, Spain (turbot, sea bass and sea bream). Two samples of each species were collected each month, one form farmed and one from wild origin. In general, the compounds were found in all the samples in a wide concentrations range, although no significant differences were observed between the mean concentration of wild and farmed samples. Although similar mean concentrations for the OPEs, BTs and BSAs were found between farmed and wild origin samples, PAEs were more frequently detected in farmed samples. Di-n-octyl phthalate and diethyl phthalate showed the highest concentrations in all fish samples, with values up to 19505 and 17605 ng g−1 (d.w.), in sea bass and sea bream, respectively. Di-(2-ethylexyl)-adipate proved to be the most relevant carcinogenic compound, with no associated health risk. Despite the detection of the studied HPVCs, no health risk was associated with the consumption of these three fish species.

Роль малых предприятий в аграрной экономике: оценка вклада в сельскохозяйственное производство

Small businesses and peasant (farm) households play a key role in agricultural production in Russia, making a significant contribution to the development of the agricultural sector. The relevance of this study is due to the need to analyze the contribution of small enterprises to the total volume of agricultural production and assess their impact on the country's economy. The purpose of the article is to study the role of small enterprises and farms in the agricultural economy of Russia based on data on the share of small enterprises in agricultural production and the main indicators of farmers' activities. The hypothesis of the study is that small enterprises play an important role in the production of crop products, but their contribution to livestock farming remains relatively small. The conducted data analysis showed that small enterprises provide a significant part of the production of grain and oilseeds, but their share in the livestock sector is small. In addition, farms demonstrate steady growth in crop production, especially in the production of grain and oilseeds. The conclusions of the article highlight the importance of further development of small businesses and farms through improved access to financial resources, government support and the introduction of innovative technologies to increase their competitiveness and sustainable growth in the agricultural economy.

A scenario-based decision framework for the order promising process in hybrid MTS/MTO production systems considering product substitution

ABSTRACT Considering the increasing competition among manufacturers and the diversification of customer orders, it is important to use the optimal production system. Hybrid manufacturing systems have proven to be a viable solution to achieve a satisfactory level of customization while maintaining adequate production volumes. This article determines the optimal strategy for decision makers in order to choose the appropriate method of supplying customers’ orders. In this article, a hybrid MTS-MTO production system has been studied in two different scenarios. For this purpose, a mixed-integer linear bi-objective model with product substitution and replaceable materials has been developed and solved by a Lagrangian Relaxation algorithm. The findings of this study reveal that enabling product substitution by manufacturers leads to an increase in the number of accepted orders, along with resulting in a higher average level of customer dissatisfaction. The system prioritizes the fulfillment of orders from permissive customers. Also, with the increase of uncertainty in each of the supplying methods, manufacturers are using other sources to supply raw materials to satisfy the accepted orders.

This study focuses on a documentary review aimed at answering the following questions: How is research on entrepreneurial capabilities approached in different countries? What is the volume of scientific production on this topic? In light of this, the present work is developed within the inclusion criteria: publications between 2012 and 2022, various types of documents, written in English, and included in the SCOPUS database. To conduct the analysis, a combination of tools such as VOSviewer, Biblioshiny, and Excel was used. These tools allowed for the identification of clusters, co-occurrence frequencies, and network nodes. Based on this, the behavior of authors, countries, journals, and the evolution of the topic over time were examined. The results reveal that the United States is the leading country in publishing research on entrepreneurship. There is an increase in scientific production related to this topic, with the majority of publications concentrated in a limited number of journals (53). Limited collaboration among authors and institutions is also evident. The co-authorship network is divided into 47 clusters, with weak grouping among them.

Adding Rare Earth Oxide Markers to Polyoxymethylene to Improve Plastic Recycling through Tracer-Based Sorting.

Engineering plastics, such as polyoxymethylene (POM), are high-performance thermoplastics designed to withstand high temperature or mechanical stress and are used in electronic equipment, the automotive industry, construction, or specific household utensils. POM is immiscible with other plastics but due to a low volume of production, no methods were developed to separate it from the residual plastic waste stream. Therefore, POM recycling is minimal despite its high market value. This paper provides a proof of concept for tracer-based sorting (TBS) as a potential solution for increasing the separation efficiency of low-volume, high-quality polymers. For this purpose, yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and cerium (IV) oxide (CeO2) have been embedded into the POM matrix. Mechanical tests of samples at varying concentrations (0.1 to 1000 ppm) of both tracers were conducted, followed by an analysis of detectability and dispersibility using a portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (p-XRF), subsequently optimizing detection time and tracer concentration. Finally, an experimental scenario was developed to test the fate and potential recovery of the tracer material after the thermal treatment of plastics. A low detectable concentration, short measurement time, low influence on mechanical parameters of the compound, and low loss ratio after simulated recycling prove Y2O3 to be a suitable tracer for the industrial implementation of TBS.

Expanding the horizons of metal additive manufacturing: A comprehensive multi-objective optimization model incorporating sustainability for SMEs

Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) has seen significant growth in recent years, with sub-processes like Metal Material Extrusion (MEX) reaching industrial readiness. MEX, known for its cost-effectiveness and ease of integration, targets a distinct market segment compared to established high-end MAM processes. However, despite technological improvements, its overall integration into the industry as a viable manufacturing technology remains incomplete. This paper investigates the competitiveness of MEX, specifically its integration into the supply chain and the implications on cost and carbon emissions. Utilizing real-world data, the research develops a multi-objective optimization (MOO) model for a four-echelon supply chain including suppliers, airports, production facilities, and customers. The optimization model is combined with a previously developed cost model for MEX to optimize facility location in Norway using the NSGA-II algorithm. Employing a case study approach, the paper examines the production of an industrial part using stainless steel 17-4PH, detailing concrete process costs and system-level costs across four different production scenarios: 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 parts. The findings indicate MEX’s potential for cost-effective production at low and diversified volumes, supporting the trend towards customization and manufacturing flexibility. However, the study also identifies significant challenges in maintaining competitiveness at higher production volumes. These challenges underline the necessity for further advancements in MEX technology and process optimization to enhance its applicability and efficiency in larger-scale production settings.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC MECHANISM FOR DAIRY INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION COMPETITIVENESS ENSURING

The article is devoted to the current problem of increasing the effectiveness of the competitiveness strategy of a dairy industry organization through the formation of a model of an organizational and economic mechanism that allows choosing strategic vectors of development, taking into account the integration impact of various factors. The conducted theoretical analysis of the categories “organizational-economic mechanism” and competitiveness made it possible to define an approach to understanding the content of the interaction of the studied categories as a logical sequence of actions of the organization to achieve the goal, including marketing research of the internal and external environment, identifying development problems, assessing the ways and possibilities of their solution, taking into account the maximum number of influencing factors at various levels. An analysis of statistical data related to the development of the dairy products market at the level of trends in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan was carried out. A conclusion is made about the possibility of increasing the volume of dairy production, and the need to build effective inter-industry connections through the formation of an organizational and economic mechanism for increasing the competitiveness of organizations in the dairy industry of the Republic of Tatarstan. Using the example of Kasymovsky Dairy Plant LLC, marketing tools for analyzing competitiveness were tested and calculations were made, some of which are presented in the article (calculation of the need for dairy products in 2026, analysis of nomenclature, sales dynamics and assessment of consumer awareness of dairy consumers). A methodological approach to building an organizational and economic mechanism for achieving a certain level of competitiveness of a dairy industry organization is proposed. The theoretical three-level model of the organizational and economic mechanism for increasing the competitiveness of dairy industry organizations determines the vectors of regulation and criteria for the effectiveness of selected strategies. Within the framework of the methodological approach, a generalized algorithm for the development of the organization and a scheme for forming the process of selling dairy products are proposed.

The Effect of Market Structure on Sales of Coal Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the Period 2018 - 2022

The limited product diversification of the Indonesian coal mining industry underscores the imperative for the formulation of strategic business plans to navigate the intensifying market competition. This study aims to examine the market structure, the factors influencing sales, and the impact of market structure on the sales performance of coal mining companies in Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative method and utilizes a range of analytical techniques, including CR4, HHI, MES, CLR, PCM, and multiple linear regression. The CR4 and HHI analysis revealed that the market structure of coal mining companies in Indonesia is classified as a highly concentrated tight oligopoly. The MES analysis yielded the conclusion that new companies in the sector face significant barriers to market entry. The findings of the CLR analysis, which indicates that the coal mining sector is a capital-intensive industry, suggest that equity and capital factors are the primary contributors to the challenges faced by new companies attempting to enter the market. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicate that equity factors and production volume have a positive and significant effect on company sales. This finding is corroborated by the PCM analysis, which suggests that companies with low market share tend to set higher margins to obtain greater profits. Increasing investment levels may serve as a viable business strategy, particularly when supported by government policies aimed at fostering a secure and stable investment environment to enhance company equity and capital.

Platelet transfusions in adult ICU patients with thrombocytopenia: A sub-study of the PLOT-ICU inception cohort study.

Platelet transfusions are frequently used in the intensive care unit (ICU), but current practices including used product types, volumes, doses and effects are unknown. Sub-study of the inception cohort study 'Thrombocytopenia and Platelet Transfusions in the ICU (PLOT-ICU)', including acutely admitted, adult ICU patients with thrombocytopenia (platelet count <150 × 109/L). The primary outcome was the number of patients receiving platelet transfusion in ICU by product type. Secondary outcomes included platelet transfusion details, platelet increments, bleeding, other transfusions and mortality. Amongst 504 patients with thrombocytopenia from 43 hospitals in 10 countries in Europe and the United States, 20.8% received 565 platelet transfusions; 61.0% received pooled products, 21.9% received apheresis products and 17.1% received both with a median of 2 (interquartile range 1-4) days from admission to first transfusion. The median volume per transfusion was 253 mL (180-308 mL) and pooled products accounted for 59.1% of transfusions, however, this varied across countries. Most centres (73.8%) used fixed dosing (medians ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 × 1011 platelets/transfusion) whilst some (mainly in France) used weight-based dosing (ranging from 0.5 to 0.7 × 1011 platelets per 10 kg body weight). The median platelet count increment for a single prophylactic platelet transfusion was 2 (-1 to 8) × 109/L. Outcomes of patients with thrombocytopenia who did and did not receive platelet transfusions varied. Among acutely admitted, adult ICU patients with thrombocytopenia, 20.8% received platelet transfusions in ICU of whom most received pooled products, but considerable variation was observed in product type, volumes and doses across countries. Prophylactic platelet transfusions were associated with limited increases in platelet counts.

Competitive position of sand-lime bricks in the domestic market, threats and opportunities for manufacturers

The problem of assessing the prospects of silicate bricks in the domestic market of small wall materials is discussed. The solution to this problem is based on the results of the analysis of the market situation, consumer preferences and competitiveness of silicate bricks. It is shown that in the period from 2014 to 2021 due to the stronger competitive position of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks and face ceramic bricks, the capacity of the market of silicate bricks decreased, its production volume and share in the structure of consumption of small-piece wall materials. The results of marketing research conducted on the basis of online questionnaires of respondents are presented, according to which the majority of respondents consider face ceramic bricks to be the material that best meets their requirements in terms of quality and appearance. The calculations showed that despite the fact that ceramic bricks have almost equal positions in terms of technical parameters and worse positions in terms of aesthetics, the most competitive material is, nevertheless, silicate bricks, which have a relatively low price. A number of threats for silicate brick producers include a decrease in demand for products, a high degree of wear and tear of technological equipment, dependence on foreign supplies of pigments, spare parts and components for equipment, insufficient level of professional competence of the personnel, etc. It is expected that in the future a number of manufacturers of sand-lime bricks will have to face the following challenges. It is assumed that in the future the ordinary silicate bricks will apparently “leave” the construction market, in connection with which manufacturers will have to focus on improving the quality and aesthetic parameters of facial silicate bricks while maintaining an attractive price for consumers.

Методика определения кратности, прочности и адгезии защитного покрытия, выполненного на основе сформированного пенококса

Today, the production volumes of intumescent paints comprise a significant part of the entire fire-protection production. At the same time, both uncertified and low-quality products can be often offered within the segment. The main implicit factors of the violation of the intumescent coating quality are the thickness of the layer and the degree of dilution of ready-to-use paint immediately before use. These factors affect the quality of coked foam, i.e., its layer thickness and its density; however, these cannot be detected during the external examination of the paint layer, measuring its thickness and conditional adhesion in accordance with modern standards. The reliability of the results of intumescent coating fire-retardant properties evaluation can only be ensured considering the evaluation of additional parameters of coked foam (strength and homogeneity) applied to protected structures measured in conditions close to real fire conditions. A methodology of express analysis of intumescent coatings on steel structures has been considered; the analysis aims to determine the expansion rate, strength, and adhesion of protective coating produced based on formed coked foam. The methodology is based on the theoretical studies of the effects of intumescent paint parameters (layer thickness, degree of dilution) on coked foam parameters and contains non-standard methods of intumescent fire-protection parameters. The intumescent coating spot heating method at sampling sites has been developed; the efficiency of the penetromety method to determine the coked foam strength has been proved. These methods are simple and do not require using any expensive equipment. The methodology can be applied to evaluate the fire-retardant coating directly at a construction site by the following parameters: coked foam intumescence, homogeneity of its structure, ultimate strength in compression, and shear-breakout. It has been established that high values of the intumescence coefficient do not guarantee the reliability of fire protection. The higher the intumescence coefficient is, the lower the thickness and strength of the coked foam. Considering this interdependence of parameters, it is reasonable to establish, on a regulatory basis, the ultimate values of the coked foam intumescence coefficient.

Climate strategies for oil and gas production under the lens of an Integrated Assessment Model: The case of Brazil

Future projections of oil and gas demand suggest that some production will remain necessary. Although attention often focuses on CO2 emissions from the combustion of their products, oil and gas production is also a relevant global emission source of both CO2 and CH4. Hence, understanding the carbon performance of upstream activities in producing nations is vital for distinguishing producers in a climate-pressured global market. This work explores climate strategies for the oil and gas upstream sector, using Brazil as a case study. The sector´s emissions profile is evaluated under distinct national climate scenarios. The analysis employs BLUES, a national Integrated Assessment Model (IAM), to access production volumes, mitigation measures applicable to the sector, and carbon dioxide removal potentials within the country to eventually offset the sector's remaining emissions. Results indicate sustained oil and gas production over the evaluated horizon (2020–2050) without compromising national climate goals, yet the sector's future emissions trajectory does not align with decarbonization targets pursued by more ambitious oil-producing nations and industry players. Despite sectoral mitigation measures indicated by the model, considerable emissions remain until 2050. Conversely, the country offers ample offsetting opportunities with potential synergies for the sector, especially through BECCS. Furthermore, the acceptability of offsets is discussed.

Analysis of the Efficiency of Swallow Cultivation as an Agribusiness Effort in Society

This research aims to analyze the efficiency value of swallow cultivation as an agribusiness effort in the community in Bone Regency. The demand for swallow nests on the world market is still very high, so to meet market demand, people are starting to try to cultivate swallows by building swallow houses, including in Bone Regency. Every business, including the swallow business, is certainly not free from various risks, especially in terms of financial risks, even though the production volume is quite high. Therefore, swallow breeders must know the analysis of the business they are carrying out, not only limited to how to maintain and cultivate swiftlets to produce nests as the main product of production. This research uses quantitative research methods with data collection techniques using questionnaires distributed to 30 wallet bird entrepreneurs. The results of the research prove that the business efficiency value for swiftlet cultivation in Bone Regency with a period of 1 - 4 years is 12. Meanwhile, businesses with a period of more than 5 years obtain a value of 23. This explains that the swiftlet cultivation business in Bone Regency has been implemented. efficient because the R/C Ratio value is &gt; 1, meaning that every Rp. 1 of costs incurred in the swiftlet cultivation business over a business period of 1 – 4 years will generate Rp. 12. Meanwhile, businesses with a business period of more than 5 years will generate revenues of IDR. 23.

Research on Corporate Environmental Responsibility: A Case Study of Multinational Corporations

In light of the expanding global environmental challenges, multinational corporations (MNCs) are often held accountable for their disproportionate role in environmental degradation. This study looks at how MNCs safeguard the environment and what factors lead to ecological dangers that are related with them. The production volumes of MNCs and their inclination to relocate pollution-intensive industries to developing countries are the specific subjects of the study. A few of the main obstacles that the study identifies to MNCs' environmental responsibility are the deficiency of the current international legal framework, the lack of harmonization of environmental legislation, and the tendency of developing countries' economic priorities to overlook strict environmental measures. To address these issues, the study recommends the following measures: the establishment of robust monitoring and accountability mechanisms; the direct imposition of practicable environmental liabilities; the strengthening of international judicial cooperation; and the clarification of judicial ambiguities regarding MNCs' legal responsibilities in the environmental sector. The paper uses a case study methodology to provide a comprehensive review of best practices and tactics for improving MNCs' environmental management. The findings underline the importance of governments working together to ensure that multinational firms' actions are consistent with environmental sustainability ideals.

Carbon footprint analysis of sugar production in Poland

Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to identify and reduce emissions. Efficient energy use is critical, alongside the adoption of low-carbon technologies that help agriculture and food processing adapt to climate change. Carbon footprint (CF) analysis is a key tool for assessing the environmental impact of food production and distribution, requiring a thorough evaluation of each product's life cycle from production to consumption. This study focused on the sugar production CF in three Polish plants, examining technological processes and creating unit process diagrams of the production cycle. This analysis led to the development of a database to calculate the CF based on production volume. The determined CF was 0.14–0.27 kg CO2eq/kg, and the average CFav: for plant 1–0.18; for plant 2–0.19; for plant 3–0.19 kg CO2eq/kg. Continuous monitoring is essential, allowing production practices to adapt to changing conditions and ensuring quick responses to sustainability needs. Reducing the sugar production CF involves several strategies, including adopting sustainable cultivation practices, optimizing production processes, using renewable energy sources, improving transportation efficiency, and minimizing waste. Together, these measures promote more environmentally responsible sugar production. By prioritizing sustainability and embracing innovative solutions, the food industry can significantly reduce its environmental impact, meeting the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss.

Case study of a batch asphalt mix plant: Energy consumption and emission allocation based on primary data

Determining the environmental impact of asphalt mixtures is crucial for sustainable infrastructure development. A dominant factor in the ecological performance of the building material is the heating process in the dryer drum of an asphalt mix plant. Since it depends on various parameters, large scattering can be observed. While most Product Category Rules (PCRs) only consider the mean consumption over a whole production year in Module A3 according EN 15804, and consequently assign the same value to each ton asphalt mixture produced, the advantages of some asphalt mix designs remain unconsidered. Based on primary data of a batch asphalt mix plant, this case study investigated the impact of production amount, asphalt mixture temperature, number of dryer drum starts and the addition of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) on the energy consumption of asphalt mixture production. By applying Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), it was demonstrated that it is not possible to precisely determine the energy consumption in the dryer drum based on the available data. Thus, further parameters are necessary for a fully-fledged prediction model. Nevertheless, the finding of this study showed the significant impact of the daily production volume, which results in 22 % less fuel consumption for high production volumes compared to low volumes. When the production temperature is lowered from 186 °C to 162 °C, further fuel savings of up to 9 % can be achieved. Considering the Global Warming Potential (GWP), the highest saving potential (27 %) in the drying and heating process can be achieved by operating the dryer exclusively with natural gas instead of heating oil.
