In light of the urgent challenge of global warming exacerbated by greenhouse gas emissions, countries at the COP28 Conference in Dubai in 2023 committed to increasing the production and consumption of renewable energy as a crucial strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuel reliance within the global energy system. However, numerous nations face obstacles in their efforts to promote renewable energy consumption, primarily due to heightened geopolitical risks that result in significant instability in political security and socio-economic conditions. This study examines the impact of geopolitical risks and financial development on renewable energy in the context of Viet Nam from 1995 to 2024. Results from the ARDL model reveal that geopolitical risks and financial development individually reduce renewable energy demand, but their interaction significantly enhances renewable energy consumption. Based on these findings, several policy implications are proposed to assist policymakers in formulating strategies to promote renewable energy consumption effectively.

New librarians often feel as though they have something to prove. This desire can lead to feelings of inadequacy and failure in the workplace that manifest as anxiety and fear. The idea that someone is a fraud or only succeeding by luck is called Imposter Phenomenon or Imposter Syndrome. As early career instruction librarians, the authors set out to find tools for dealing with their Imposter Phenomenon. This paper outlines faith-based tools like exercise, counseling, and prayer for managing Imposter Phenomenon. Practical tools such as professional development, mentoring, and communities of practice are explained as solutions for lessening the effects of Imposter Phenomenon.

Barrott, Neal F. Jackson Chattanooga State Technical Community College/Jackson State Community College ABSTRACT In 1996, five Tennessee technical community colleges received funding for a National Science Foundation Advanced Technology Education (NSF/ATE) project. The purpose of the project was to develop a group of faculty who will provide leadership in telecommunications curriculum development. Two of the goals of the project were to 1) develop a framework for a telecommunications curriculum and 2) develop thirty case studies that focus on real world problems in the telecommunications industry. A team of cross-disciplinary faculty developed a case study format appropriate for technical courses. Information about actual industrial problems was gathered by visiting companies and discussing with key personnel the issues facing technicians in telecommunications. Then five sample case studies were developed. INTRODUCTION Using structured case studies to introduce real world applications is popular and successful in business related programs. Presently, professors in engineering technology programs make little use of structured case studies. Is there a way to successfully implement case studies into an engineering technology curriculum? If so, what format should be used and what are the essential elements of the solid case study? A case study is a method of involving students in real life scenarios. Because engineering technology courses are application oriented, case studies are a natural fit. Many engineering technology textbooks have word problems at the end of each chapter. Typically, an instructor will present principles in the classroom, demonstrate how to apply these principles to sample problems, then assign students similar problems for homework. The next class period, problems are reviewed and students ask questions to be sure that problems are correctly worked. This process of problem solving has its place. But, word problems segment knowledge and are not typically based upon a real world application. Case studies differ from word problems in that cases are based upon real industrial problems and the approach is holistic. Does this mean that case studies should replace word problems? No, case studies should be utilized to augment the current instructional process to bring real life scenarios to the classroom. * This project was supported in part by the National Science Foundation (DUE- 9602401).

Electro-physical parameters and characteristics of magnetic sensitivity of silicon MOSFET Hall sensor with buried channel in wide range of control potentials are studied with the help of TCAD simulation methods.Dynamics of space distribution of free carrier concentration and current density in the near-surface layer of a semiconductor are revealed for model axisymmetric structure corresponding to 0.35 μm CMOS technology which determines dependence of Hall voltage from interaction of charge carriers with dielectric semiconductor interface.It was shown that sensitivity of field magnetic sensors can be widely regulated by controlling of MOSFET channel conductivity providing conditions for implementation of additional intellectual functions of magnetically sensitive devices.Кeywords -Hall element, Hall voltage, magnetic induction, space charge region, metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure, MOSFET, Hall field sensor, CMOS technology, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure, integrated circuit (IC).I.

Natural disasters and other emergencies can cause an increased risk of foodborne illness. We conducted a nationally representative survey to understand consumers’ knowledge and use of recommended practices during/after extended power outages and other emergencies. Because older adults are at an increased risk for foodborne illness, this paper presents findings from a sample of older adults (n = 290). Only 17% of respondents reported they are fully prepared to keep food safe during an extended power outage. Respondents identified lack of cogitation (42%), storage space (19%), and concern (27%) as barriers to not being fully prepared. Of those who had experienced a recent power outage, less than 40% followed the recommended practices of discarding frozen foods that had thawed and discarding refrigerated, perishable foods. Additionally, 21% to 36% of respondents reported they tasted food to determine whether it was safe to eat. Awareness and likelihood of following recommended practices were higher among women than men. Many older adults are not following recommended practices to ensure food safety during/after extended power outages and other emergencies. Educational materials need to address barriers and be tailored to specific locations and subpopulations of older adults. Educators and public health officials can use the survey findings to address gaps in older adults’ knowledge and practices and to help reduce the risk of foodborne illness among older adults.
