The growing digital divide issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic are critical widening disparities and inequalities. Yet, only a few studies have explored impacts of on education sector. In particular, there is research gap related younger students primary secondary schools. This study addresses this by providing an overview divide's social exclusion equality issues. doing so, argues effects divide. Such influence then studied based increasing inequalities eventual increase among school...

The connections between urban areas and innovations have been widely discussed well recognized in both academia practice. Notably, innovation (UI), as a type of and/or system, can significantly contribute to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, current research on UI SDGs is still limited. To fill this gap, systematic literature review conducted using published work the first half SDG era, i.e., 2015 2022. It proposes hierarchy level pizza model with definition UI. This...

The spread of COVID-19 at a large scale and rapid pace indicates the lack social distancing measures multiple levels. individuals are not to be blamed, nor should we assume early were ineffective or implemented. It is all down multiplicity transmission factors that made situation more complicated than initially anticipated. Therefore, in facing pandemic, this overview paper discusses importance space measures. methods used investigate study literature review case study. Many scholarly works...

A prominent move amid the COVID-19 pandemic is related to wide use of ICT applications for various reasons. Such services are context-specific and sector-specific, but we see transformative directions leading digital data collection, monitory, management platforms. For now, these have been beneficial evaluate trends issues pandemic. Some aggregated could also help decision-making processes, which helpful contain such disruptive events. However, main concern individual's information, means...

The ICT service industry has become a burgeoning at high and stable speed. Their equitable distribution can improve national global positive peace. This paper aimed to verify the characteristics of spatio-temporal evolution its influencing factors in industry. Based on data from 31 Provinces China 2015 2019, this uses location quotient, spatial autocorrelation methods econometric analysis explore development characteristics, industry, respectively. main results are shown as follows: (1)...

In this study, the effect of sintering conditions including manner, temperature and duration on properties polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hollow fibre membrane fabricated by extrusion method was intensively investigated. Different from un-sintered relaxed sintered, fixed sintered PTFE observed to generate a uniform ‘fibril–node’ porous structure main crystal transformation folded chain with smaller size. Consequently, it found that for setting sintering, both increase 340°C 400°C...

A new formulation, that employs both two-stage dehumidification and intercooler to effectively enhance system performance is proposed investigated experimentally. The paper briefly describes desiccant wheel including the coupled fundamental principle overall structure originally. An experimental setup subsequently designed built evaluate under various operation conditions. effects of different fresh air intake temperature at regeneration given conditions are numerically analyzed explained....

In exploring the strategies for reaching sustainable development goals (SDGs), importance of circular has been greatly recognized in studies and practices.Regarding applying circularity concept at city scales, United Nations Economic Commission Europe emphasizes that transitioning to a economy will help leaders achieve SDGs other global objectives climate actions.The food sector is significant contributor change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, which can all be resolved via...

Low carbon steel (AISI1020) strips with grain refinement were successfully produced by large strain extrusion machining (LSEM).A finite element simulation was performed to make comprehensible the deformation behavior of LSEM process. The influence annealing temperature and time on microstructure mechanical properties investigated two sets heat treatments Vickers hardness test. As a result, can maintain high under 400°C but start losing it as increased 500°C above. When annealED at 300°C for...

In the post-COVID-19 era, there has been an increasing interest in re-evaluating citizens’ living conditions within dense and grey urban areas. The provision of green spaces always identified as important aspect alleviating contemporary everyday life stress preventing or limiting mental health-related issues. It is also strategy to mitigate heat islands foster adaptation strategies climate change. Among numerous experiments ‘green action’ available planners, farming have widely used Europe...
