A Sequential Decision-Making Process for Optimal Technoeconomic Operation of a Grid-Connected Electrical Traction Substation Integrated With Solar PV and BESS

Ensuring the provision of the increasing power consumption and maintaining the power quality (PQ) are considered to be the major challenges for electrical traction substations (TSSs) due to their dynamic characteristics, which render their power demand and electrical behavior to be highly complex. Solar photovoltaics (PVs) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) can be reliable options for integration with the TSSs, the prerequisite, however, is to devise the appropriate approaches for the demand management (DM) and maintaining the PQ of such a system. In this article, a strategy is proposed for the optimal technoeconomic operation of the TSSs using a sequential decision-making process (SDMP). In the first layer, the DM is formulated so that it can address the requirements of the integrated system and the uncertainties. The second layer optimizes the limited capacity of the PV/BESS converters for the mitigation of the unbalances and the reactive power compensation. Moreover, a comprehensive modeling framework incorporating the SDMP is presented that lends itself to use as a robust platform for the realistic modeling of the TSSs, BESSs, and PV systems. The framework is utilized to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SDMP for both the DM and improving the PQ of the TSS, which are validated using different case studies.
Identification and Management of Major Risk Factors in Construction of Healthcare Centers Projects

More attention is needed for healthcare centers projects and its development to change and improve the health situation in Iraq. The study of risk in this type of projects is essential to avoid the problems encountered during the project life cycle. This paper aimed to identify risk factors facing the construction of an advanced healthcare centers and to enhance the possible solutions based on the opinion of experts. For data collection, fifty-five risk factors were presented in a questionnaire form. The result showed that the major risk factor was government corruption, which has a direct influence on the economy and a negative impact on the infrastructure in the country and its development. The analysis showed that financial problems represent the highest risk during the years in all construction projects. Other considerable risk factors were time overrun, labor safety, as well as environmental risks, which are related to waste treatment. Other important risk factors were related to the ventilation system and air conditioning, also risk in providing continuous electrical power during the day. In term of risk groups, the five most effective ones were political, Economic, Safety, Operation & Maintenance and Construction risks.

Field and laboratory observations on reproductive aspects of Pseudopaludicola ameghini (Cope, 1887) (Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae)

ABSTRACT The genus Pseudopaludicola includes small-sized anurans, widely distributed throughout South America. Twenty-three out of the 25 species occur in Brazil. Although described more than a century ago, from mid-southern Mato Grosso state, central Brazil, Pseudopaludicola ameghini is poorly known. Here we describe the characteristics of reproductive site, amplexus, egg-laying behaviour, eggs and tadpoles of P. ameghini based on specimens and observations performed in the vicinities of the type locality. Pairs of P. ameghini reproduce in shallow and slow groundwater established on hydromorphic terrains, in open environments amidst the Brazilian Cerrado savanna. Reproductive activity occurred between 17:00 and 21:00 h at two sites studied from December 2013 to April 2014. Amplexus is axillary. Eggs are spherical, with a mean diameter of 5.1 mm (yolk plus jelly envelope). Oviposition occurs in shallow sites at a depth of nearly 2.0 cm. Females deposit their eggs one at a time, directly onto sediment at the bottom of waterbodies or attached to submerged vegetation. The tadpole body is oval in dorsal view and globular/depressed in lateral view; eyes are large and dorsally positioned. Nares are large, round, with a small apophysis on marginal rim, dorsally positioned, near the eyes. The spiracle is short, with posterodorsal opening. The oral disc is anteroventral, emarginated laterally, with one dorsal and two ventral gaps; the tooth row formula is 2(2)/2(1), and the upper jaw sheath is ‘arc’ shaped. Pseudopaludicola ameghini has a unique behaviour of oviposition among members of the genus. The differences in reproductive pattern and larval characteristics of P. mystacalis and P. ameghini reinforce the taxonomic validity of the latter, questioned until recently.
INDUNG/PARENT MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATION MODEL TO ESTABLISHMENT OF TOURISM IDENTITY BASED ON SUNDANESE CULTURAL VALUES

The purpose of this research is to know the values of local wisdom of the Indung Parent Management in the development of a region in Purwakarta regency, Indonesia. The object of this study is Purwakarta as one regency located in the northern part of West Java, Indonesia. The content of local wisdom in Purwakarta development is generated by government bureaucrats’ communication on Sundanese characters. The present research employed case study method with data collection technique in the form of in-depth interviews, observations, focus group discussions, and literature studies. The results of the research show that the development pattern of the city identity being applied in the Purwakarta regency area refers to the concept of “Indung Management”, which means a mother who is protecting her child, and signifies that the government must protect the community. The conclusion of the research indicates that the values of local wisdom in the development of a region are able to provide a distinctive unique and creative identity to embody a friendly city in terms of the culture, environment and welfare as long-term investment in the future.
Training Neural Networks Through the Integration of Evolution and Gradient Descent

Neural networks have achieved widespread adoption due to both their applicability to a wide range of problems and their success relative to other machine learning algorithms. The training of neural networks is achieved through any of several paradigms, most prominently gradient-based approaches (including deep learning), but also through up-and-coming approaches like neuroevolution. However, while both of these neural network training paradigms have seen major improvements over the past decade, little work has been invested in developing algorithms that incorporate the advances from both deep learning and neuroevolution. This dissertation introduces two new algorithms that are steps towards the integration of gradient descent and neuroevolution for training neural networks. The first is (1) the Limited Evaluation Evolutionary Algorithm (LEEA), which implements a novel form of evolution where individuals are partially evaluated, allowing rapid learning and enabling the evolutionary algorithm to behave more like gradient descent. This conception provides a critical stepping stone to future algorithms that more tightly couple evolutionary and gradient descent components. The second major algorithm (2) is Divergent Discriminative Feature Accumulation (DDFA), which combines a neuroevolution phase, where features are collected in an unsupervised manner, with a gradient descent phase for fine tuning of the neural network weights. The neuroevolution phase of DDFA utilizes an indirect encoding and novelty search, which are sophisticated neuroevolution components rarely incorporated into gradient descent-based systems. Further contributions of this work that build on DDFA include (3) an empirical analysis to identify an effective distance function for novelty search in high dimensions and (4) the extension of DDFA for the purpose of discovering convolutional features. The results of these DDFA experiments together show that DDFA discovers features that are effective as a starting point for gradient descent, with significant improvement over gradient descent alone. Additionally, the method of collecting features in an unsupervised manner allows DDFA to be ap-
Ultra‐low phase noise oscillator employing mixed electric and magnetic coupling resonator

In this article, a pair of stub‐loaded interdigital hairpin resonators‐based filter with high group delay and improved stopband suppression is used to design an S‐band ultra‐low phase noise single‐ended oscillator. A transmission zero closed to the edge of passband in the filter is generated by introducing strong electric and magnetic coupling, which can improve the phase noise performance of the proposed oscillator. A low phase noise figure‐of‐merit (FOM) that considers both insertion loss and group delay of the feedback loop is used to evaluate the overall phase noise performance of the proposed oscillator. In order to verify the concept, the proposed oscillator is designed and fabricated. The measured results show that the oscillation frequency is 2.037 GHz with the output power of 8.92 dBm while the second harmonic suppression level is about 35.66 dB. The phase noise and the FOM of the proposed oscillator at 100 kHz frequency offset are −127.95 and −199.31 dBc/Hz, respectively. According to the open literature, this is one of the best phase noise performances of the single‐ended hybrid integrated oscillators oscillating at the similar frequency range.
Volume of intensive care unit patients in the emergency department: Clinical experience in a training and research hospital

There is an increasing tendency for critically ill patients to present to emergency departments (EDs). In this study, it was aimed to assess patients who presented to the ED and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and to identify waiting times in the ED. This retrospective study was conducted by reviewing data from 4904 patients (aged >18 years) who presented to the ED for whom the decision was made for hospitalization in the ICU between January 1st, 2016, and December 31st, 2017. Waiting time in the ED, demographic data, and length of ICU stay were reviewed for 3572 patients who were admitted to ICUs from the ED. The total number of patients who presented to the ED between January 1st, 2016, and December 31st, 2017 was 200,603. Among these patients, the ICU admission rate was 2.4%. Of 4904 patients who presented to the ED and the decision was made for ICU admission, 1332 patients were transferred to other facilities. When these patients were excluded, the ICU admission rate was found as 1.8% in our facility. When time to ICU admission from the ED was assessed, it was found that the shortest time recorded for admission from the ED to the burns unit was 48 minutes. The second shortest waiting time (148 min) was seen in patients admitted to the coronary intensive care unit. The mean waiting time of ICU patients in the ED was 282 min. The increase in the patients who have been decided to hospitalization in the ICU in the ED remains an important problem that should be managed in the ED crowd. Long waiting times for ICU patients in the ED make the already existing crowd more complicated.
Reproductive Health for Resettling Refugee and Migrant Women

difficulties in accessing family planning services, and the complications of addressing reproductive rights in rapidly evolving power relations within families and communities. Over the last ten years, political and civil unrest in many countries has resulted in the migration to Australia of refugees and migrants with cultural backgrounds that are markedly different from the host population. These countries include several in the Sahel Belt of Africa and the Middle East (SAME). These are mostly developing countries, where female genital cutting (FGC) is traditionally practised, where Islam is often the predominant religion, and where women may be denied reproductive rights (Crowe 1997; Feldman & Clark 1996). Approximately 87,000 women now live in Australia from these countries (ABS 2002). Refugees and displaced persons have frequently faced food shortages, have limited access to medical supplies and services, and usually have lived in crowded camp/temporary accommodation conditions. Women’s experiences prior to migration of rape and other forms of sexual exploitation, and FGC, have major implications for reproductive health. Female migrants and refugees from SAME countries often have health problems related to their cultural beliefs, socio-economic status and poor environmental conditions prior to migration. Consequently, they continue to have a high risk for poor obstetric outcomes, greater parity, and higher prevalence of anaemia, urinary tract infections and sexually transmissible infections (Palmer et al 1999; UNHCR 1995; Kahler et al. 1996).
Squamous cell carcinoma of tongue in a 12-year-old child

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents about 90–95% of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity. It typically occurs in the elderly men during the fifth–eight decades of life [1] and rarely occurs in the young patients under the age of 40 years. In this group, the real influence of carcinogenic factors, mainly alcohol and tobacco, is widely debated. Some authors argue that these carcinogens may also be related to the etiology of SCC in youngsters. [2] Others, however, reported that many of these patients never smoked or drank alcoholic beverages, or the duration of exposure to these agents would be too short to induce malignant transformation. [3] The recent literature has given increasing attention to SCC of tongue in young adults as authors have speculated that the incidence of SCC of tongue is increasing. [4,5] Our understanding regarding the etiology, natural history, and optimal therapeutic management is limited due to rarity of this tumor in pediatric age group. We report a case of SCC of oral tongue in a 12-year-old boy and also review the etiological factor for SCC in pediatric age group.
Industrial Development, Subsidy Reform and Export Behaviour : An Evidence from ASEAN-5 Economies

This study explores the impact of subsidy reform on export performance in ASEAN-5 economies, whereby the output of this research may be useful for the policymakers to balance favourable subsidy reform upon sustainable economic development while controlling fiscal burden. The objective of this study is to explore the impact of subsidy reform on export growth while considering an exchange rate and the industrial value added as a control variable. This study covers a panel data of ASEAN-5 economies from the 1992 to 2015. The dynamic panel data analysis was employed to evaluate the magnitude impact of subsidy expenditure by the government, exchange rate and industrial value added on export performance. The Pooled Mean Group (PMG) model was employed to determine the long run coefficient in the model. The finding concluded that: 1) Export growth was expected to increase as the subsidy growth increases, 2) currency appreciation was expected to encourage export growth and 3) Industrial development would increase export growth as many outputs can be produced in a period of time. As an absence of subsidy would lead to a lost in export, and the government is recommended to implement an adequate offset policy to cushion any negative impact reflected by the absence of a subsidy in an economy.
Effects of medium and high discomfort periods during dry environment on either pathogens causing subclinical mastitis or antimicrobial resistance of environmental Streptococci and coagulase-negative Staphylococci

The objectives of this study were firstly to compare the prevalence of sub - clinical mastitis among pathogens between medium and high discomfort periods of the dry season in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Secondly, as the pathogens most fre- quently responsible for causing mastitis in Thailand, the resistant patterns of both environmental streptococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were also determined for both discomfort periods. Eighty small-holder dairy farms in Chiang Mai province, Thailand, were involved in the study. All clinically-healthy cows in the enrolled farms were used and tested for subclinical mastitis. Milk samples from subclinical mastitis cows were collected for bacteriological identi- fication. Isolates from environmental streptococci and CNS were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility. The periods were determined by levels of discomfort from heat and humidity, including December to February as medium discomfort period (MEDIUM) and November, March and April as high discomfort periods (HIGH). From a total of 691 cows, 40.1% of cows were positive to California mastitis tests (n=277). At udder level, most pathogens found in this study were minor pathogens, especially environmental streptococci (13.0%, 138 isolates) and CNS (9.9%, 105 isolates). The prevalence of mastitis with environmental streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus in MEDIUM were more than that in HIGH (P<0.05). In contrast, Enterobacteriaceae spp. in HIGH was higher than in the Medium discomfort period (P<0.05). The majority of the environmental streptococci isolates resisted to the antimicrobial agents (97.3%). No association was found between antimicrobial resistance against environmental streptococci and dry-discomfort environmental periods. For CNS, a total of 56% of CNS isolates were resistant to one or more antimicrobial drugs. During MEDIUM discomfort period, CNS was more resistant to cloxacillin and cephalexin than

High-performance work systems and key employee attitudes: the roles of psychological capital and an interactional justice climate

Abstract While there is evidence that high performance work systems (HPWS) are related to positive employee attitudes, the underlying mechanism is not yet thoroughly understood. Similarly, though the benefits of employees’ psychological capital (PsyCap) in the workplace are well documented, little is known about the extent to which PsyCap stems from the context in which people work. Adopting a multi-level approach and using the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) framework and the conservation of resources (COR) theory as theoretical backdrop, we develop and test a moderated mediation model to explain how organization-level HPWS relate to individual employee work attitudes (job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment) that reflect well-being through the mediating mechanism of employees’ PsyCap. Analysis of multi-source data from 569 employees in 44 firms showed that HPWS were positively related to job satisfaction and affective commitment, and that these relationships were partially mediated by PsyCap. Furthermore, moderated path analysis revealed that an interactional justice climate strengthened the direct effect of HPWS on PsyCap and work attitudes as well as the indirect effects of HPWS on work attitudes. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
Efficacy And Safety Of IVUS-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

Abstract The inclusion of IVUS-guided PCI has yet to become a routine approach in invasive cardiology due to the relatively high cost of the procedure, equivocal positive results in important studies and the steep learning curve. As an additional diagnostic tool, IVUS seems to be irreplaceable in stent apposition research, edge dissections and the determination of plaque composition. To examine the efficacy and safety of IVUS-guided PCI vs. angiographically guided PCI in a centre without prior experience. A total of 35 patients were examined using IVUS prior to stent placement, and the gathered data were used to determine adequate implanted stent size and length. The acquired parameters were as follows: percentage of stenosis, MLD, CSA and distal reference diameter. After PCI, IVUS studies were repeated and data on the CSA, residual stenosis and MLD were acquired. Additionally, stent size and length, deployment pressure and the use of additional post-dilatations were recorded. There were 35 patients with similar demographic data in the control group who underwent treatment of the same vessel segment with the same stent type. Additional data regarding acute complications (dissections, slow flow during or after the procedure, IM) were obtained from the existing database and complications after six months, such as the need for TVR, MACE and death, were also obtained. Significant differences were observed in terms of stent size and length, residual stenosis, post-dilatation and MLD in favour of the IVUS group; in addition, TVR was 36% lower in the IVUS group with no significant difference in MACE and death between the groups. After introduction of the method, IVUS-guided PCI exhibited reasonable safety and efficacy compared to conventional angiographically guided PCI at centres without prior experience.
