In Iran the Small and Medium Knowledge based Enterprise (SMEs), in the development and shaping stage, face with lots of problems. Before maturity and stability, they fail. Nearly a decade passed, since science and technology parks formation happened. They were seen as a mechanism for sustainable economic development based on knowledge; through creation, support and guidance of founded SMEs. Officials and policy makers, seriously concern about sustainable success, development and growth of these SMEs which must be appropriate for needs of Iran. Identify the behavioral patterns of the stages of life (birth, growth, decline, etc.) which lead to inefficiency and decline, is essential. This helps to avoid mistake repetition and eventually reduces costs. This paper, by using participative model building tries to extract prevailed patterns which govern the behavior of SMEs in Yazd Science and Technology Park. This paper attempts to introduce positive leverage points for policy makers and senior managers who are responsible and also SMEs which are located in the Park. Therefore, in this article, while drawing the behavioral patterns of SMEs, using qualitative system dynamics modeling, the structure governing the behavior of SMEs was drawn. This structure consists of 4 reinforcing loops and 8 balancing loops. Finally, based on these loops, 12 corrective policies were proposed. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2021-02-01-02 Full Text: PDF

In existing academic studies on the Due Diligence process, the different areas have been considered separately. This is time consuming and causes inefficiencies. The proposed approach to Due Diligence integrates these separate areas into one process. While every company’s success can be defined by a few key factors, these differ by industry. The goal of this analysis is to develop a basis for decision-making regarding Mergers and Acquisitions for small- and medium-sized manufacturing companies by generating a scorecard model that enables the potential acquirer to perform an overall analysis of the existing data as well as to generate an informed outlook for the future using a standardized and efficient approach that also has a positive impact on the success rate of mergers and acquisition transactions. The model is based on different research methods. First of all, a literature research was executed, to define the theoretical framework. There are two main areas, the Strategic Controlling on the one hand and M&A on the other hand. The theoretical findings are specified through expert interviews. The expert interviews are semi-standardized. There is a quantitative and a qualitative part. Based on the analysis, a concept for a leaner DD approach is developed. The article presents a sum up of the research. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2021-02-01-06 Full Text: PDF

The floristic region of Adjara represents “Hotpoint” of Caucasian which is distinguished with the uniqueness of its Current activities in the field of vehicle electrification offer a great potential for contributing to climate change mitigation by reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Beyond the environmental strain, there is an economic one, too. It is therefore crucial for the European automotive industry to exploit not only the environmental benefits, but also the business opportunities which come from the transition from conventional fuel powered to electrified vehicles. To capture these opportunities, electric vehicles must deliver better performance at a lower price, overcoming the constraints that are currently limiting their mass-market uptake. This paper presents the approach of the research and innovation action H2020 project QUIET to meet these stringent requirements by developing an improved and energy efficient electric vehicle with increased driving range under real world driving conditions. This is achieved by exploiting the synergies of a technology portfolio in the areas of: user centric design with enhanced passenger comfort and safety, lightweight materials with enhanced thermal insulation properties, and optimised vehicle energy management.

Modelica models represent static or dynamic systems. Their outputs can be scalar (numbers) or time-dependent (time series). Most advanced mathematical methods for the analysis of numerical models cannot cope with functional outputs. This paper aims at showing an efficient method to reduce a time-dependent output to a few numbers. The Principal component analysis is a well-established method for dimension reduction and can be used to tackle this issue. It relies however on a linear hypothesis that limits its applicability. We adapt and implement an existing method called the auto-associative model, invented by Stéphane Girard, to overcome this shortcoming. The auto-associative model generalizes PCA, as it projects the data on a nonlinear (instead of linear) basis. It also provides physically interpretable data representations. The difference in efficiency between both methods is illustrated in a case study, the well-known bouncing ball model. We perform output reduction and reconstruction using both methods to compare the completeness of information kept throughout the dimension reduction process.

Electrophilicity index (𝜔) is related to the energy lowering associated with a maximum amount of electron flow between a donor and an acceptor and possesses adequate information regarding structure, stability, reactivity and interactions. Chemical potential (μ) measures charge transfer from a system to another having a lower value of μ, while chemical hardness (η) is a measure of characterizing relative stability of clusters. The main purpose of the present research work is to examine the Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) effect on the behavior of the electrophilicity index, chemical potential, hardness and softness of neutral gold clusters Au n (n=2-6). Using the second-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian, geometries are optimized at the DKH2-B3P86/DZP-DKH level of theory. Spin-orbit coupling energies are computed using the fourth-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian, generalized Hartree-Fock method and all-electron relativistic double-ζ level basis set. Then, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) corrections to the electrophilicity index, chemical potential, hardness and softness are calculated. It is revealed that spin-orbit correction to the vertical chemical hardness has important effect on Au 3 and Au 6 , i.e. SOC decreases (increases) the hardness of gold trimer (hexamer). Due to the relationship between hardness and softness, σ = , inclusion of spin-orbit coupling increases (decreases) the softness of Au 3 (Au 6 ) and thus destabilizes (stabilizes) it. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) also has more important effect on the chemical potential of Au 3 by decreasing its value. It is found that spin-orbit coupling has considerable effect on the electrophilicity index of gold trimer and greatly increases its value. Furthermore, SOC increases the maximal charge acceptance of Au 3 more and thus destabilizes it more. As a result, spin-orbit coupling effect appears to be important in calculating the electrophilicity index of the gold trimer. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2021-02-01-05 Full Text: PDF

With the discovery of the Pre-Salt reserves, exploration of oil and gas is being strongly extended in Brazil, contributing to the recent increase of the demand for drilling capabilities. This paper discusses the impact of this oil discovery by assessing the relationship among the growth of proven reserves, the financial position of firms, and patent applications in the Brazilian upstream oil and gas industry. We provide empirical evidence indicating that firms with a lower financial performance prior to the pre-salt discovery were more aggressive in increasing the number of patent filings addressing technologies of the upstream oil and gas domain.

In today’s highly competitive business environment, firms can ill afford the consequences of overlooking opportunities for innovation. An organization seeking to increase its existing knowledge base, in most cases, aims to identify and pursue useful knowledge available outside its borders. However, for companies interested in engaging in collaborative arrangements for innovations, systematic approaches for knowledge transfer may become a major challenge. In our research we focus on the diffusion of innovative knowledge that occurs during a joint knowledge development process. We present an empirical study spanning the period 2004 to 2018 which aims to explore the impact inter-organizational collaboration in the form of joint patenting has on the distance between partners’ technological bases. In addition, this paper looks into the change in technological distance when joint patenting occurs between different-country and same-country partners. The empirical results of the study suggest that engagement in joint patenting positively influences the technological proximity between partners and indicates a transmission and utilization of knowledge outside of firms’ existing knowledge base. Our findings contribute to knowledge related to innovation under inter?organizational collaboration and provides a basis for further theory development and testing.

While innovation contests and intermediaries are widely used in large companies to source knowledge from the outside, it is not clear how contests could be utilized to break the barriers that SMEs face in pursuing Open Innovation. In this paper, we shed light on the topic by analysing ten innovation contests that have been successfully run in three European countries with the specific aim to create innovation opportunities between SMEs and higher education institutions, research centres, other companies, or end users. The analysis resulted in the identification of common elements that played a crucial role in these innovation contests, but were overlooked in previous research. Moreover, we collected early evidence supporting the case for innovation contests as tools to support Open Innovation policies for SMEs. On that basis, we propose a new framework that can be used by innovation intermediaries to design innovation contests specifically aiming at supporting Open Innovation in SMEs.

Cultural tourism is the idea that a place’s cultural perception has enough value to make it a destination for travel. Communities characterized by a high level of cultural development are usually associated with a high level of satisfaction about living conditions and wealth. In this research, we postulate that the creation and development of the cultural attractions of a place to attract tourists also have a positive impact on the life condition of the local community, not only for increased money availability but also for a change of inhabitants’ mind-set. Case study methodology has been used to support the hypotheses., CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation, Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020)

In this paper we present the development and preliminary validation of a wearable system which is combined with an algorithm interfacing the MYO gesture armband with a Sphero BB-8 robotic device. The MYO armband is a wearable device which measures real-time EMG signals of the end user’s forearm muscles as the user is executing a set of upper limb gestures. These gestures are interpreted and transmitted to a computing hardware via a Bluetooth Low Energy IEEE 802.15.1 wireless protocol. The algorithm analyzes and sorts the data and sends a set of commands to the Sphero robotic device while performing navigation movements. After designing and integrating the software and hardware architecture, we have validated the system with two sets of trials involving a series of commands performed in multiple iterations. The consequent reactions of the robots, due to these commands, were recorded and the performance of the system was analyzed in a confusion matrix to obtain an average accuracy of the system outcome vs. the expected and desired actions. Results show that our integrated system can satisfactorily interface with the system in an intuitive way with an accuracy rating of 85.7 % and 92.9 % for the two tests, respectively.

In the process towards energy transition from fossil fuel based energy to renewables systems, the way to involve final users in the energy production is still complex. Although many steps forward have been made by community energy around the world and especially in the EU, there are still many barriers and entry obstacles that do not allow a revolution in the energy market. In this paper, various aspects that distinguish a community energy have been explored. After presenting a state of the art on the development of community energy in Europe, the technologies supporting these cooperative realities were studied. This work reports a complete analysis on renewable energy production systems, community management software and the most innovative user engagement tools. This paper also presents the results of a survey, with the aim of studying how people can be more involved in the energy market. The outcomes show how people needs should be considered, in order to increase awareness and control over the energy that they consume for a better development of future community energy., CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation, Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020)

One of the biggest problems facing humanity is climate change and the construction industry is one of the sectors causing the greatest impact, therefore, design strategies accompanied by new methodologies is necessary. In this sense, this paper aims to assess sustainability for the design of organizational strategies against climate change, based on a holistic and systemic approach to sustainability development, in order to contribute the decision-making in housing building organizations. The assessment was based on: 1) climate change indicators were selected from a case study; 2) a survey based on climate change indicators was designed and applied to 21% of the total organizations under study and; 3) critical indicators were identified. The result shows that 58% of the climate change indicators are critical and give evidence of the negative outlook that housing building organizations has in in terms of sustainability. The 69% of these indicators belong to the cultural dimension, it demonstrates the lack of knowledge, customs, habits and commitment to implement sustainable strategies against climate change in this organizations. Finally, the results can contribute to designing strategies to promote sustainable building by the local government, and thus achieve more sustainable organizations that contribute to reducing their impact on climate change.

The aim of the article is to alert to the fact that architecture must comprehend Nature and bring it back again to the daily life of Man, increasing his physical and psychological comfort. The "Green" in Architectural Rehabilitation can have several meanings and approximations. In this article we address "Green" as Color and Attitude. This paper has been developed through deepening the hypothesis of the color green in living coatings. The creation of an ecological skin in architecture accentuates the dilution of the presence of interventions in heritage contexts with an attitude of knowing how to add, involving Nature. These allow creating solutions that avoid the formalisms of architectural language, being of special relevance their application in the Architectural Rehabilitation of the Heritage. Examples of green roofs and green facades are presented and it is shown that rainwater management improves the sustainability of the historic place. Complementary, as a Green Attitude, it is essential to use renewable energy in buildings to achieve NZEB – Nearly Zero Energy Building. As a case study we have selected the Rehabilitation of the Cathedral of Portalegre in Portugal. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2020-01-04-04 Full Text: PDF

The transport sector plays a crucial role in the social and economic development of our society. Nevertheless, it is responsible for one quarter of the global CO2 emission worldwide. Although sustainable mobility could drastically reduce transport-related emissions, its adoption is still underdeveloped. In this paper, an impact innovation methodology has been used to generate a solution that could boost sustainable mobility development by creating an efficient offline tracking method that combines transactions and GPS data. The results suggest that incentive-based solutions could increase the adoption of sustainable mobility. This study generates the basis for the development of a sophisticated algorithms, able to track mobility and to incentivize people’s sustainable habits., CERN IdeaSquare Journal of Experimental Innovation, Vol. 4 No. 2 (2020)

The designing process of a new product includes various stages, one of which is the evaluation of an idea thought prototype manufacturing. The use of additive manufacturing consists the most efficient and effective way for prototype manufacturing. In order to maximize the benefits from the use of additive manufacturing, we should choose the suitable printing parameters. A vital parameter for defining the quantity of raw material used and the model solidity is the inner wall thickness. Depending on the selected technique of additive manufacturing, the thickness of the inner wall may differ. In this study we initially print furniture models with different wall thicknesses using the Inject Binder technique and then we check their durability and resilience by compression tests. Evaluating the study results indicate the hollow printed specimens have high durability during compression tests and can be used to evaluate a design idea. Using the facts derived from lab tests we perform Topology Optimization studies under different circumstances to evaluate the method and come up with the optimal design solution. Initially, the Topology Optimization study concern only the table surface and not the whole model. The following studies were performed for the whole model, different constraints and load cases defined. Then, the optimized models are redesigned in order to improve their durability. The performed studies show that Topology Optimization is a powerful tool, which is able to support the designers/ engineers to take the right decision during the design process.

A few months ago, we claimed that COVID-19 had the potential to be a catalyst for change and innovation (Mention et al., 2020). Undeniably, this has indeed eventuated, but to a scale that was unforeseeable and unpredictable to many. Over the last few months, the world has literally changed. Around the world, people and communities have seen their lives put on a standstill, experiencing and experimenting with variable levels of restrictions preventing social interactions. We have learned what physical – rather than social, at least initially – distancing meant and have uncovered new ways of doing things. And that applied to almost for every single aspect of life.

In this extended letter, we define Deep Tech (technology that is difficult to develop today, with the potential to become a pervasive and easy-to-implement basic need in the future) and consider its role in evolving businesses. We suggest how organizations can position themselves to take advantage of a coming wave of innovation, with emphasis placed on Creative Destruction's role (cannibalizing product lines) in creating sustaining enterprises. Understanding the diffusion of technical innovation from hard-to-implement exciter to commodity basic need will encourage leaders to rethink their current offerings to play in a future-thinking space setting these companies apart from the competition. We provide examples drawn from successful organizations.

Over the recent years, the importance of innovation in academic R&D projects has increased. Nevertheless, innovation facilitation in the academic field has rarely been researched. Currently, innovation support focuses on the industrial context. In our study we aim to address this research gap and examine the facilitation of innovation in the academic and the industrial context. In our abductive empirical case study, we investigate the role, skills, mindset and instruments of innovation facilitators by interviewing 25 individuals from nine organizations. We discovered different behaviors and perspectives in dealing with innovation work, depending on the context of the either academic or industry-driven projects. Academic innovation projects focus on feasibility, whereas industry-driven projects focus on viability. In both contexts, the facilitators usually intend to include the user perspective (desirability). With our results we contribute to the facilitation literature and show that innovation projects and their facilitation depend on their specific context and the mentality of the facilitators. With these results, we strive to improve academic and industry-driven projects with advice for innovation practitioners and facilitators on helpful tools and important perspectives to fully exploit the innovation potential.

Propellant Actuated Devices (PAD) are installed on various combat aircraft of Air Force and Naval bases to perform extremely important operations such as parachute deployment, harness and leg restrain, cable cutting, pullers, seat ejection, bomb release or fuel tanks etc. They are basically called as gas generators. Such devices produce the high temperature and pressure combustion gases on initiation and used to perform different operations. These cartridges are single-shot operating devices. The performance of such kind of PADs cannot be tested by non-destructive techniques. Hence, cartridges are designed to function with high reliability and stringent quality control checks at all levels during entire development cycle. The safety features required during handling, storage and transportation are built in the design of PAD. The cartridges are required to undergo different exhaustive design qualification tests to qualify design aspects. Total life of 6 years is assigned to cartridge after performance degradation study of the propellant which includes 2 years installed life. This paper explains about the development aspects of PAD, its use, function, testing and performance evaluation methodology in a suitable fabricated Velocity Test Rig (VTR). The maximum slug velocity is 121.14 m/s in hot condition and minimum slug velocity is 99.14 m/s in cold condition. The main objective of this paper is to device a novel method to measure actual slug velocity of the aircraft gun inside a cartridge using VTR and Doppler RADAR.

Abstract[Stock Price Prediction Analysis of PT. Indonesian Telecommunications Using Methods Support Vector Machine] Stock is a form of investment which is a form of securities which is a proof of someone's ownership of a company. The movement of shares from time to time is relatively uncertain, but still predictable. This stock price prediction will be very useful for investors to find out how the flow of investment works at each price on each stock price that changes from time to time. An accurate prediction model of stock price movements can help investors in considering the decision of stock transaction because the stock price movements that tend to be non-linear will make it difficult for investors to make predictions. In this research a prediction of the stock price of PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia uses the Support Vector Machine algorithm method which is improved in performance using the RBF kernel. From the results of testing with the Support Vector Machine method the accuracy level is 0.9641 and the RMSE is 0.0932. Tests are also carried out using the k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm with an accuracy level of 0.945 and an RMSE of 0.1162. Therefore, it is known that the SVM algorithm has a higher level of accuracy and a lower error rate than the KNN method.Keywords: prediction, stock price, support vector machine.

In this paper, a simple but effective trailing edge flap system was proposed. This preliminary concept uses a more practical and stable actuation system which consists of a motor-driven worm gear drive and flexible torsion bar. The flexible torsion bar is designed to be easily twisted while keeping bending rigidity as a sup-port and the worm gear drive not only provides a high torque to overcome aero-dynamic forces on the flap area and the torsional rigidity of the support bar, but also acts as a brake to avoid instability due to the high torsional flexibility of sup-port bar. A preliminary level design study was performed to show the applicability of the new trailing edge flap system for wind turbine rotor blade or helicopter blade.

The crisis represents a disorder that in contemporary society increasingly occurs. Crises are often the result of some earlier solutions. The situation in agricultural production in Croatia has been negative for years. Inadequate tax and high administrative burdens act to discourage the production process and impede the competitiveness of farmers. Furthermore, the measures taken to create added value are not enough, they can even be said to be wrong. The current crisis Covide-19 caused a disturbance on the market in terms of trends of supply and demand. The crisis period will show whether the country has an adequate strategy to overcome all the economic problems ahead. The aim of this paper was to analyze the readiness of the Republic of Croatia for crisis periods in terms of food security by analyzing the volume of agricultural production, the balance of foreign trade of agri-food products as well as the structure of total agri-food product trade. The determined trend of increasing deficits in agri-food products in foreign trade balance, particularly with EU countries implies the state's unenviable position regarding the food security indicating the need for implementation of adequate measures in the direction of the market organization and to facilitate investment in sustainable agriculture production systems.

This paper examines the practice of open innovation by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the food industry. We adopted a multiple case study approach and conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with four food SMEs in the Flanders region of Belgium. The results of the analysis show that food SMEs practice open innovation mostly through inbound open innovation activities rather than outbound, mainly due to lack of sufficient resources. Food SMEs typically lack sufficient financial capital, technology, and human capital. Within inbound open innovation activities, collaboration with organizations is found to be a key element for food SMEs’ internal development and innovation of new products.

In this article, we explore and interpret organizational identity transformation associated with open innovation strategy of the largest telecommunication company in Italy, Telecom Italia (TIM). When TIM established eight joint laboratories within five major Italian universities to benefit from opening its business model, it transferred some of the R&D employees to the new laboratories to work with the university scientists. This organizational transformation created underexplored conditions for R&D employees engaged in the open innovation activities of the firm. Our interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) answers the question of “How do R&D employees experience organizational identity change in the process of open innovation?”. We based our analysis on interpreting lived experiences of 14 employees. Studying the phenomena of organizational identity change during the process of open innovation implementation suggests the following: (1) The process of open innovation through mobility of skilled R&D employees triggers organizational identity ambiguity and change, (2) Organizational identity ambiguity phase in the process of open innovation can be shortened by the support of parent company and managerial skills highlighting sensemaking mechanisms, (3) Constructing a shared organizational identity with university members involved in this process is an undeniable element of OI success for this strategy. We contribute to the literature by establishing linkages among organizational identity and open innovation and by building on recent works on the role of individuals within open innovation ecosystem. Our qualitative analysis draws on a conceptual framework for open innovation and organizational identity transformation.

COVID-19 pandemic-related direct public support mechanisms have received more attention than previously and budgets for SME subsidies have skyrocketed around the globe. Currently, most support measures focus on short-term liquidity needs. However, policy makers have already started thinking about which role subsidies should play in the renewal of the economic structure once the pandemic dust has settled. The pandemic offers a good opportunity to restructure a company support system taking into account the structural barriers that innovation support systems have been subject to over the last decade. The aim of the analysis in this paper is threefold: (1) to map the barriers to innovation support, (2) to offer policy makers and SME support agencies a set of solutions to overcome these barriers and (3) to re-interpret these results against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic that started to unravel shortly after finalising the set of research interviews.

ntroduction. The development of the enrichment industry has identified significant requirements for the development of new technologies and equipment, including the method of magnetic separation. Problem Statement. Advantages of cryomagnetic separation complexes are determined by the efficiency of solving the problem of creating their cryogenic support systems. Purpose. The purpose of this research is to develop a cryogenic supply system (CsC) by solution scientific technical and design and technological problems of cryomagnetic systems creation based on micro-cryogenic closed cycle systems (MCs). Materials аnd Methods. The material of the research is the design of sCs with built-in superconducting magnetic system (SMs) and two MCs. The efficiency of MCs use is determined by the method of thermal balance analysis of their modules. Results. SCS design on the basis of the nitrogen-free cryostat with integrated sMs and two close-cycle MCs and the solution of r&D problems of effective use of the MCs by method of the heat balance analysis of their modules have been proposed. The input units of the MCs modules and neck, as well as the tank, supports and screens are design in such a way as they can operate simultaneously as a system of rigidity and a system of efficient removal of heat from them to the appropriate stages of the MCs modules. The design of sCs provides operation in a stationary mode with a super small supply of liquid helium through the liquid-gas recondensation ring process, in which the gas-liquid helium mixture is an ideal cool conductor. The design of the sCs provides the manufacturability of routine maintenance, even with the change of the modules of the neck and the MCs, without depressurization of the cryostat. Conclusion. solutions of design and technological, research and technical problems are based on patents of Ukraine N103949 and N88830. The expediency of creation of the complex on the basis of a nitrogen-free cryostat with built-in SMs and two MCs operating in a stationary mode with a very small reserve of liquid helium has been substantiated.

Introduction. The processing of livestock waste and agricultural production enables not only improving environmental safety, but also obtaining energy resources. Problem Statement. Cow manure is used to produce biogas, but its yield is relatively low. One way to increase biogas yield is the joint fermentation of cow manure with substandard flour, which cannot be used as human food and as feed for farm animals. However, the flour content in the substrate, at which the biogas yield is maximum and there is no inhibition of the methane fermentation process, is not a solved issue. Purpose. Increase biogas yield by adding substandard flour to a cow manure-based substrate. Materials and Methods. Research of biogas yield during methane fermentation of substrate based on cow manure with the addition of substandard flour was carried out on a biogas plant consisting of a methane tank with a working volume of 30 l and wet gasholder at periodic substrate loading and fermentation temperature 35 °C. The portion of the substrate included 1.7 kg of manure, 2.5 kg of water and 50, 100, 250 or 500 g of flour. The composition of flour in the substrate was 1.2%, 2.3%, 5.6% and 10.6%. The dichotomy method was used to determine the optimal flour content in the substrate, provided the maximum biogas yield. Results. The maximum biomethane release is 14.3 l/kg dry organic matter (DOM), at 1.2% of the flour content in the substrate; 20.9 l/kg DOM, at 2.3%; 19.2 l/kg DOM, at 5.6%. At a content of 10.6% flour in the substrate, the biogas did not burn, fermentation quickly stopped. The optimum flour content in the substrate based on cow manure, in which the biogas yield increases 1.5 times, is 3.7%. Conclusions. Based on the conducted experimental studies, a model of biogas yield with gradual loading of the substrate was built and the optimal flour content in the substrate was determined, at which the maximum biogas yield is provided. Вступ. Важливим господарським питанням є переробка відходів тваринництва і сільськогосподарського виробництва не тільки для покращення екологічної безпеки, а й для отримання енергетичних ресурсів. Проблематика. Коров’ячий гній застосовується для отримання біогазу, однак його вихід при цьому відносно низький. Одним із шляхів підвищення виходу є спільне зброджування коров’ячого гною з некондиційним борошном, яке не можна використовувати як продукт харчування для людини та як корм для сільськогосподарських тварин. Проте вміст його в субстраті, при якому вихід біогазу є максимальним і не відбувається інгібування процесу метанового бродіння, не визначено. Мета. Підвищення виходу біогазу шляхом раціонального додавання некондиційного борошна до субстрату на основі коров’ячого гною. Матеріали й методи. Дослідження виходу біогазу при метановому зброджуванні субстрату на основі коров’ячого гною з додаванням некондиційного борошна здійснювали на біогазовій установці у складі метантенка робочим об’ємом 30 л і мокрого газгольдера при періодичному режимі завантаження субстрату і температурі бродіння 35 °С. Порція субстрату: 1,7 кг гною, 2,5 кг води та 50, 100, 250 або 500 г борошна. При цьому склад борошна в субстраті становив 1,2 , 2,3%, 5,6% та 10,6 %. Для визначення оптимального вмісту борошна в субстраті, за умови максимального виходу біогазу, було застосовано метод дихотомії. Результати. Максимальний вихід біометану при вмісті 1,2 % борошна в субстраті становить 14,3 л/кг сухої органічної речовини (СОР), при 2,3 % — 20,9 л/кг СОР, при 5,6 % — 19,2 л/кг СОР. При вмісті 10,6 % борошна в субстраті біогаз не горів, бродіння швидко припинялося. Оптимальний вміст борошна в субстраті на основі коров’ячого гною, при якому вихід біогазу збільшується в 1,5 рази, становить 3,7 %. Висновки. На основі проведених експериментальних досліджень побудовано модель виходу біогазу при поступовому завантаженні субстрату та визначено оптимальний вміст борошна в субстраті, при якому забезпечується максимальний вихід біогазу.

Energy companies face challenges arising from the ecological, social and legal environment. The reduction of negative impact on the environment and society while maintaining sustainable development affects the formation of new development strategies and push to introduce the state of art innovative technologies. The main aim of the research is to analyze the importance and role of the adaptation strategy to external requirements and to determine the mechanisms of the occurrence of passive and active adaptation. As a new approach to carrying out strategic analysis, two models were used simultaneously (inductive and hypothetical-deductive) which allows for realization qualitative (interviews, observations) and quantitative (statistical analysis) research methods generally called mixed methods. The study was conducted on the basis of mixed-method analysis of adaptations strategies of enterprises from the energy sector. The results of the conducted research show the influence of particular macroeconomic elements (e.g. technologies, ecologies) on making strategic decisions. The issue of adapting an enterprise to its environment is also related to its involvement in the research and development (R&D) sphere. Depending on the size of the company there are different amounts dedicated to R&D. Regulations and the technological environment force innovations of energy companies in the direction of reducing harmful impact on the environment and society. Legal and political factors (both national and EU) determine the activities of power companies (in each group: small, medium and large) and determine the choice of adaptation strategies. The intensity of adaptation to the requirements of the environment changes depends on the size of the company. Power companies apply passive adaptation strategies and as they increase their position on the market, they begin to implement an active adaptation strategy.

Automation ,European union ,Industrial Revolution ,Ethics of technology ,media_common - Abstract
Important changes are taking place, currently, regarding the role of ethics in technology, particularly, in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. The adoption by the General Assembly of United Nations of the resolution A/RES/70/1 on September 27th, 2015, entitled "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", better known as "sustainable development goals", is making that different international organisations and countries adopt it as the minimum reference ethical framework for assuring that this revolution in course supports and contributes to achieving these goals. To better understand these changes, it is important to make a historical reference to how technology and the role of ethics were understood during the past 50 years. In this paper, I take as reference the influencing book “The Challenge Presented to Cultures by Science and Technology” (1977) of the Genevan philosopher Jean Ladriére, some ethical proposals made during the '90s, to end with some recent European Union (2019) and World Economic Forum (2018) ethical proposals. I conclude that there are continuities and discontinuities, first in the conception of science and technology in Jean Ladriére and others, and how recent proposals are approaching the issue, second on the role of ethics in this fascinating and revolutionary process. However, we may envisage a radical transformation of the conception of technology in the context of the worldwide request of shaping the fourth industrial revolution.

Automation ,Commons ,civil society ,media_common - Abstract
The article explores movements for social transformation in precarious times of austerity, dispossessed commons, and narrow nationalism. The authors contribute to social theory by linking questions by critics of “post-politics” to precarity studies on changing conditions of citizenship, labour and livelihoods. They discuss an ambiguous constitution of precariat movements in the borderlands between “civil” and “uncivil” society and “invited” and “invented” spaces for civic agency, and posit that contending movements of today are drawing intellectual energy from past movements for democracy, recognition and the common. The paper discusses the issue of an urban justice movement in Sweden emerging from the precariat in this formerly exceptionalist welfare state’s most disadvantaged urban areas. With its vision of reconstructing commons with roots in the working class movement, it has put forward claims for an egalitarian and non-racial democracy while confronting politically grounded frames of institutional conditionality.

Within the field of Digital Humanities, a great effort has been made to digitize documents and collections in order to build catalogs and exhibitions on the Web. In this paper, we present WeME, a Web application for building a knowledge base, which can be used to describe digital documents. WeME can be used by different categories of users: archivists/librarians and scholars. WeME extracts information from some well-known Linked Data nodes, i.e. DBpedia and GeoNames, as well as traditional Web sources, i.e. VIAF. As a use case of WeME, we describe the knowledge base related to the Christopher Clavius’s corre spondence. Clavius was a mathematician and an astronomer of the XVI Century. He wrote more than 300 letters, most of which are owned by the Historical Archives of the Pontifical Gregorian University (APUG) in Rome. The built knowledge base contains 139 links to DBpedia, 83 links to GeoNames and 129 links to VIAF. In order to test the usability of WeME, we invited 26 users to test the application.

Indonesia merupakan negara hukum. Sebagai negara hukum, tentunya pembangunan terhadap substansi hukum perlu dilakukan, yaitu menunjukkan eksistensi hukum. Salah satu hal yang bisa dilakukan untuk menunjukkan eksistensi tersebut yaitu dengan melakukan dokumentasi terkait informasi hukum dengan membentuk Jaringan Dokumentasi dan Informasi Hukum (JDIH). Anggota JDIH tersebut terdiri dari berbagai macam instansi pemerintahan, salah satunya yaitu Kementerian. Di era Industri 4.0 saat ini tentunya adanya peraturan terkait teknologi informasi menjadi penting adanya. Namun, belum ada pengelompokan yang jelas untuk membagi berbagai peraturan masing-maisng kementerian menjadi beberapa peraturan yang serupa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat clustering dari JDIH masing-masing kementerian dengan menggunakan parameter peraturan terkait teknologi informasi. Metode clustering yang digunakan yaitu metode K-Means Clustering. Dataset peraturan diambil dari website JDIH masing-masing kementerian dengan menggunakan kata kunci peraturan terkait teknologi informasi. Dari hasil analisis didapatkan bahwa JDIH Kementerian bisa dikelompokkan menjadi 4 cluster dari total 28 JDIH Kementerian. Cluster pertama berisi 12 kementerian, Cluster kedua berisi 13 Kementerian, Cluster ketida berisi 2 Kementerian, dan Cluster keempat berisi 1 Kementerian. Hal tersebut menggambarkan bahwa masing-masing JDIH Kementerian yang masuk dalam 1 cluster yang sama memiliki keterkaitan dan kesamaan.Kata kunci: Jaringan Dokumentasi dan Informasi Hukum, K-Means Clustering, Kementerian, Teknologi Informasi. Abstract[Analysis of the Network of Documentation and Legal Information of the Ministry about Information Technology Using the K-Means Clustering Method] Indonesia is a state of law. As a state of law, the development of the legal substance needs to be carried out, that is, to show the existence of law. One of the things that can be done to demonstrate that existence is to do documentation related to legal information by forming a Legal Documentation and Information Network (JDIH). JDIH members consist of various government agencies, one of which is the Ministry. In the current era of Industry 4.0, the existence of regulations related to information technology becomes essential. However, there has not been a clear grouping to divide the various regulations of each Ministry into several similar regulations. This study aims to make the clustering of JDIH of each Ministry by using regulatory parameters related to information technology. This research uses the K-Means for the clustering method. The regulatory dataset is taken from the JDIH website of each Ministry by using regulatory keywords related to information technology. From the results of the analysis, it was found that JDIH Ministries can be grouped into 4 clusters from a total of 28 JDIH Ministries. The first cluster contains 12 ministries, the second cluster contains 12 Ministries, the third cluster contains 2 Ministries, and the fourth cluster contains 1 Ministry. This illustrates that each JDIH Ministry that falls into the same 1 cluster has interrelations and similarities.Keywords: Documentation Network and Legal Information, Information Technology, K-Means Clustering, Ministry

A molecular dynamics simulation has been carried out to investigate the dynamics heterogeneity SiO 2 liquid at 2600 K and ambient pressure. We indicate that the diffusion in the liquid is realized by the rate of effective reaction, SiO x ®SiO x’ and OSi y ®OSi y’ . Moreover, the reactions are non-uniform happened, but they are spatially clustered. In addition, we found the clustering from different sets of atoms specified by the mobility of atom or frequency of reactions. We found that the clustering become more pronounced at ambient pressure. This evidences the dynamics heterogeneity in the SiO 2 liquid.
