Abstract

Ni- and Co-oxide materials have promising electrocatalytic properties towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and attract with low cost, availability, and environmental friendliness. The stability of these materials in alkaline media has made them the most studied candidates for practical applications such as a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) for rechargeable metal-air batteries. In this work, we propose a novel concept for a carbon-free gas GDE design. A mixture of catalyst (Co3O4, NiCo2O4) and polytetrafluoroethylene was hot pressed onto a stainless-steel mesh as the current collector. To enhance the electrical conductivity and, thus, increase ORR performances, up to 70 wt.% Ni powder was included. The GDEs produced in this way were examined in a half-cell configuration with a 6 M KOH electrolyte, stainless steel counter electrode, and hydrogen reference electrode at room temperature. Electrochemical tests were performed and coupled with microstructural observations to evaluate the properties of the present oxygen electrodes in terms of their bifunctionality and stability enhancement. The electrochemical behavior of the new types of gas-diffusion electrodes, Ni/Co3O4 and Ni/NiCo2O4, shows acceptable overpotentials for OER and ORR. Better mechanical and chemical stability of electrodes consisting of Ni/NiCo2O4 (70:30 wt.%) was registered. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-023 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The Solar Dryer Dome (SDD), an independent energy system equipped with Artificial Intelligence to support the drying process, has been developed. However, inaccurate state-of-charge (SOC) predictions in each battery cell resulted in the vulnerability of the battery to over-charging and over-discharging, which accelerated the battery performance degradation. This research aims to develop an accurate neural network model for predicting the SOC of battery-cell level. The model aims to maintain the battery cell balance under dynamic load applications. It is accompanied by a developed dashboard to monitor and provide crucial information for early maintenance of the battery in the SDD. The results show that the neural network estimates the SOC with the lowest MAE of 0.175, followed by the Random Forest and support vector machine methods with MAE of 0.223 and 0.259, respectively. A dashboard was developed to help farmers monitor batteries efficiently. This research contributes to battery-cell level SOC prediction and the dashboard for battery status monitoring. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-02 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Biodiesel production using novel glycerol and potassium carbonate-based catalysts has not been developed under the Taguchi technique. This study aims to determine the most influential parameter in biodiesel production from refined bleach-deodorized palm oil (RBDPO) using DES K2CO3-Glycerol as the novel catalyst. The raw material was subjected to transesterification at the desired reaction parameters estimated by the orthogonal 16-run (L16) approach with 2 levels and 4 factors of the Taguchi technique. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and ANOVA were used to confirm the predicted value. From the results, the catalyst is the most influential variable in the TG value of biodiesel, placed in the first rank of the influence factor. Biodiesel production with a minimum total glycerol value (0.210%) using DES K2CO3-Glycerol as a catalyst is most optimally produced at 95 °C for 4 h and 400 rpm using 30 wt% methanol and 4 wt% catalysts achieved by the Taguchi technique. The biodiesel obtained from RBDPO complies with the required international standards. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-018 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to evaluate the expectations of cohorts of workers from Generations X, Y, and Z with regards to their perceptions of what a "good workplace" is. Two research questions were formulated accordingly. Respondents representing workers from Generations X, Y, and Z, from Italy and Austria, were asked to consider and rate (on a 1-5 scale) eighteen criteria on work environment and managerial approach. Multi-sample testing was applied during processing with the ANOVA and Shapiro-Wilk and the Kruskal-Wallis test was subsequently used for multi-sample testing. The findings show that the most popular criterion for all three generational cohorts is "good work atmosphere", followed by "all employees are valued, treated, and rewarded fairly". Interestingly, generational differences were observed for "customer orientation", which was more important for Generation X, and "autonomous organization of work (time)", which was more important for Generations Y and Z. The most surprising result was the significance of corporate image, with less than 4% identifying this as an important issue across all three generations. These findings can help human resource managers create appropriate working environments and motivational tools that meet the real expectations of employees. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The concept of legal principles for intellectual property (IP) protection is related to the adequate marketing of drug patents to protect patent rights. The objective of this research is to understand and analyze the factors affecting the market concerning international law, treaties, acts, and declarations, leading to encouraging creativity, production, increased investment, especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The qualitative methodology provided for an in-depth understanding and analysis of primary and secondary research data gathered from key informant interviews and published literature. The collected data were analyzed with Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats (SWOT), a Delphi panel, and Correct, Adapt, Maintain, and Explore (CAME) analysis. The results found legal problems concerning the lack of rules to protect the rights and freedoms damaged by the monopoly on drug patents, complexities in the process of importing medicinal compounds, and how to access information with limited accessibility during COVID-19. Therefore, it is advisable to amend the law to curtail monopolies and to enact a law that prescribes rules for importing medicinal compounds to produce generic drugs in the country, including identifying the status of the patent holders. The research further paves the way for utilizing micro level research to be conducted in the development of intellectual property rights. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SPER-016 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Background: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has a great influence on the sustainability of company development, so it can be considered a business model for business effectiveness. Objective: The objective of the research is to determine the mutual influence of real-estate companies’ activities and CSR effectiveness in different countries. This study examines indicators for assessing companies’ financial stability, CSR, and working capital management's influence on the activity effectiveness of real-estate companies. Methods/Analysis: Questionnaires, the principal component method, the Sobel test, and linear regression analysis are used to evaluate the relationship between CSR and the business performance of autocratic management-style companies. The authors’ algorithm for assessing a company’s financial stability, CSR, and capital management, which affect the efficiency of companies, is proposed. Findings: Empirical analysis has shown that management has no mediating effect on CSR and enterprise performance relationships for companies with high financial stability and working capital, though it has a stimulating effect for low financial stability companies. CSR and business performance have positive relationships in companies, but despite financial stability growing, the autocratic leadership style reduces interest in CSR development. This paper conceptualizes the impacts of CSR on the effectiveness of companies. Novelty: The novelty of this study is to create theoretical and practical provisions aimed at laws and regulations. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-08 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

As the third generation of IT is developing rapidly, higher education institutions in China are looking to produce innovation-minded talent who can adapt to the dual-mode IT work environments of modern enterprises to meet the demands of the intelligent manufacturing national development strategy. So, this research aims to specify the hierarchical talent training system and mechanism for information technology majors in the higher education system. A 1+2+X modular curriculum system was proposed for the information technology majors based on the group-chain development model that focuses on combining discipline and industry (also known as vertical and horizontal integration). The data analysis was performed through a comparative analysis of the talent training objectives of the Chinese institutes and course systems’ national development strategies. The results support the idea that the 1+2+X modular curriculum system can help universities produce innovation-minded talent by designing their curriculum based on the industry and trends rather than just focusing on specialization training. The novelty of this research is that it promotes the idea of professional development along with course training. This paper recommends that future researchers implement the concept in vocational institutes. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-024 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research aims to improve quality indicators in solving classification and regression problems based on the adaptive selection of various machine learning models on separate data samples from local segments. The proposed method combines different models and machine learning algorithms on individual subsamples in regression and classification problems based on calculating qualitative indicators and selecting the best models on local sample segments. Detecting data changes and time sequences makes it possible to form samples where the data have different properties (for example, variance, sample fraction, data span, and others). Data segmentation is used to search for trend changes in an algorithm for points in a time series and to provide analytical information. The experiment performance used actual data samples and, as a result, obtained experimental values of the loss function for various classifiers on individual segments and the entire sample. In terms of practical novelty, it is possible to use the obtained results to increase quality indicators in classification and regression problem solutions while developing models and machine learning methods. The proposed method makes it possible to increase classification quality indicators (F-measure, Accuracy, AUC) and forecasting (RMSE) by 1%–8% on average due to segmentation and the assignment of models with the best performance in individual segments. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Introduction: Retail companies aim to provide their customers with improved customer support and public relations services. For this purpose, metaverse technology is one of the most preferred approaches to improving customers’ buying and post-purchase experiences. Aims: This research also examined metaverse technology acceptance among the IT products and services companies in the United Arab Emirates. Methods: The researchers employed a self-proposed study model and used the structural equation modeling approach. Results: Results revealed that relative advantage significantly affects customer support and public relations. However, transparency does not affect customer service and public relations significantly, while the effect of perceived compatibility on customer support remained insignificant while public relations remained significant. Finally, the effect of public relations on metaverse technological acceptance remained insignificant. Besides, the effect of customer support on metaverse technology acceptance remained significant. Overall, the results supported the role of certain factors proposed by the diffusion of innovation theory in the context of PR and customer support, which is further accelerating the metaverse technology adoption among the IT retailers in the UAE. Conclusion: Thus, this study concludes that the role and adoption of metaverse technology not only highlight its acceptance but also address its importance in improving IT retail products and services. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-019 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

A plethora number of literature advocates for economic diversification in Nigeria in order to address its socio-economic challenges. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has exemplified this viewpoint even further, as it has had a severe impact on many parts of the Nigerian economy while the federal government scrambles for revenue to fulfill national expenses. However, observation reveals that little attention is paid to the influence of COVID-19 on the oil and gas sector, despite the necessity to diversify economic resources for human capital development. The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of COVID-19 on the Nigerian oil and gas sector. Problems are recognized and solutions are proposed through the textual analysis of literature. According to the research, COVID-19 has a negative influence on the oil and gas business in Nigeria due to Nigeria's overreliance on oil resources as a key source of national revenue, among other issues. As a result, the study emphasized the need for and importance of diversifying the nation's economic resources by focusing more attention on sectors such as SMEs that are aided with protection and promotion, as well as the agricultural sector, which incorporates technology and scientific input as a driving force for improvement. If adopted, diversification will address numerous difficulties such as poverty, which affects the majority of inhabitants, unemployment, mounting foreign debt, and the massive importation of products and services into the country due to a lack of economic diversification. According to the report, the Nigerian government should invest extensively in small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) and agricultural investment in order to overcome the economic challenges caused by COVID-19's detrimental influence on the economy. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SPER-019 Full Text: PDF
