In this study, the effect of energy cost liberalization policies on the cost-effectiveness of wind farms compared to gas power plants has been investigated. To calculate the cost of electricity generation from various sources, including wind energy and fossil fuels, the “levelized cost” method has been used as the most acceptable economic method to compare different types of electricity generation technologies. In addition, calculations related to the cost of electricity, different fuel prices, different technologies of wind farms, and different prices of different types of fuel are considered. Based on the results of this research, it was found that by targeting fuel prices in the country, wind farms are quite cost-effective, and considering the cost of the opportunity to use diesel in the country, the construction of these power plants can provide the possibility of exporting this fuel. This cost also increases with the production of valuable equipment in the country. The important point is that the macro policy should localize the wind turbine industry with priority to its valuable parts and components due to fuel price changes. This policy will continue to make this type of power plant cost-effective in the country and the employment of specialists in the country.Full article

This article discusses the effect of the oil shock on some OECD oil-importing countries such as Canada, France, Italy, China, and the United States and some OPEC oil-exporting countries such as Algeria, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. The model is estimated for the years 1976-2021. five annual variables are used for each country. The variables within the model include real oil prices, GDP growth, inflation, real wages, and real effective exchange rates. Real GDP is the main variable that shows the effects of oil prices on the economy, and the impact of oil prices on other model variables will indirectly affect economic activities. For this purpose, we estimate the vector autoregression model. Estimates obtained for different countries show that oil price shocks are one of the variables affecting economic growth. Also, in oil-exporting countries, oil shocks on economic growth are positive and negative in oil-importing countries. Also, Covid-19 is studied as an effective parameter in creating oil shocks.Full article

The banking sector has shown a strong interest in scaling out and utilizing the microservices architectural pattern within their payments domain, not only to manage increased transaction volumes, but also for compliance and risk-related control. Financial organizations are adopting containerization technologies like Kubernetes and Docker to align with the microservices paradigm. Containerization provides the foundation for automation and operational excellence of microservice-based applications by enabling continuous deployment and automated build-test-release cycles. However, deploying a Kubernetes cluster and the services it hosts in production is not sufficient to guarantee a secure and compliant operating environment. Kubernetes itself should be secured to protect workloads, and risks associated with the services being deployed must be managed continuously.Full article
