Enhancement of Field Oriented Control for Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motor using Ant Colony Optimization
Authors: Megrini Meriem , Gaga Ahmed , Mehdaoui Youness
Published: March 2024

Because of its frequent use in diverse systems, the PMSM drive must be controlled. Field-oriented control (FOC) based PMSM drive is modeled in the present work to optimize the torque and speed performance of the PMSM. The FOC is based on a dissociated speed and flux control approach, which controls the speed and flux of the PMSM independently. The standard Proportional Integrator Derivative (PID) controller regulates the speed in FOC, which is noted for its increased resilience in linear systems, however in nonlinear ones, the PID controller responds poorly to changes in the system’s variables. In this case, the best solutions are frequently based on optimization techniques that produce the controller’s gains in every period. Optimizing the PID’s behavior in response to the system’s nonlinear behavior. The novel proposed strategy for enhancing the gains of the PID controller by employing a cost function such as Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE) is based on PID speed regulation and is optimized using the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (ACO) for FOC. To confirm the strategy’s aims, the suggested method is implemented on Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results demonstrated the efficiency of the intelligent ACO-FOC control, which delivers good performance in terms of stability, rapidity, and torque fluctuations.

The study conducted to assess the impact of the source of financing on the results of production activities of small and medium-sized businesses in agriculture in Kazakhstan is presented in the article. When building the model, the authors used the method of correlation and regression analysis, including calculations of pairwise regression, as well as the method of building statistical equations. Statistical data on the volume of financing of SMEs in agriculture by way of own funds, government resources (concessional lending, subsidies, and leasing), and non-state sources of financing such as borrowed funds from banks, microfinance organizations, credit partnerships, and leasing companies were used as the factors. Firstly, the results of the study showed that such factors as bank lending and leasing financing by private companies do not have a significant impact on production volumes. Secondly, of all the factors analyzed, the greatest impact on gross output was made by financing by microfinance organizations and credit partnerships, which determines and indicates the need for the development of non-state sources of financing. Thirdly, a comprehensive approach combining state financial support as well as available non-state financial resources is needed to achieve the strategic objectives of economic development and ensure the required level of food security.

This paper presents two distinct methods that demonstrate the increased intensity of a specific emotion when the induced emotion is trained daily for 30 days. For this study, four actors participated in a 30-day exercise trial and were recorded each day using high-level audio equipment. The first method supporting our hypothesis is a deep learning approach. A convolutional neural network pre-trained on Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients analyzed the actors' recordings and delivered the intensity of the detected emotion. The CNN tested 3,561 segments of 0.2-second length, and the results showed a higher level of intensity on the final day of training for each participant. The second method is spectral analysis. The spectrograms generated on the first and final days of the experiment showed that the spectral composition on the final day had a wider range of frequencies than on the first day, further supporting our hypothesis.

Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University, Blazhevich Lubov E. , Smirnova Olga E. , Kirilina Valentina M. , Maslyukov Petr M. ,   Yaroslavl State Medical University
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this article was to study TNFR1 gene expression in the bronchi of rats with ovalbumininduced bronchial asthma, taking into account intramural metasympathetic ganglia and the stabilization of mast cell membranes with sodium cromoglycate. In this paper, gene expression refers to the accumulation of mRNA in bronchial tissues. Expression of the TNFR1 gene and receptor plays an important role in the development of allergic asthma. For this reason, the TNFR1 gene was chosen for the analysis. Materials and methods. Bronchial samples from Wistar rats were studied using real-time polymerase chain reaction. For experiments, bronchi with ganglia (in the bifurcation area) and bronchi without ganglia (straight sections) were taken. The material was collected from 7 groups of rats: with ovalbumin-induced bronchial asthma (6 groups) and control animals (1 group). Mast cell stabilizer sodium cromoglycate was used to treat 3 groups of rats with simulated asthma. Results. It was found that the expression of mRNA encoding TNFR1 increases in rats developing bronchial asthma. In bronchial samples with ganglia, TNFR1 gene expression was higher than in bronchial preparations without ganglia. Under the influence of sodium cromoglycate, TNFR1 gene expression decreased. Based on the results obtained, it was suggested that mast cells and neurons of the intramural ganglion have a rather pronounced effect on TNFR1 gene expression.

Objective To identify the factors that facilitate or hinder the construction of autonomy in adolescence through the experience of young adults with type-1 diabetes and their parents.

Methods This was a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study. Two focus group interviews were conducted: one with nine young adults who were experts in managing their illness and the other with seven parents. Thematic and categorical content analysis was used for data analysis, with particularities of a focus group interview and the use of the NVIVO 12 software.

Results Two major categories and ten subcategories related to factors that facilitated (support systems, knowledge, diet, insulin pump, early responsibility for managing therapy, and characteristics of young people) and hindered (therapeutic regimen, stigma, attitude of health professionals, characteristics of young people, and knowledge)
the development of autonomy in disease management emerged.

Conclusion Autonomy in the management of diabetes involves several challenges for adolescents, which requires adaptation of attitudes and interventions by professionals. In addition to the traditional management of the health condition, addressing issues related to the socialization of adolescents is essential, looking for innovative strategies that promote coping and quality of life. The results of this study make it possible to reflect on the therapeutic relationship with adolescents, emphasizing the importance of individualizing care and innovative responses to their specific needs.

Authors: Waffa Fathima Rushna , Pitigala Kalharie
Published: March 2024

This research is a cross-sectional quantitative study which investigates how attachment styles influence the emotional regulation of young adults in SriLanka. The aim of this research is to understand the impact of attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance on cognitive appraisal and emotional suppression. For this purpose, a survey research design was utilized and a sample size of 147 young adults selected though convenient sampling and they completed an online questionnaire on attachment style, and emotional regulation. The questionnaire was based on predeveloped 7-point Likert scales, The Experiences in Close Relationship Scale short version (ECR-SV) to measure attachment styles and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) to measure emotional regulation. This research found attachment anxiety and avoidance had a negative impact on using reappraisal while Attachment anxiety showed a greater negative impact on reappraisal. Also, it was found attachment anxiety and avoidance had a positive impact on using emotional suppression while avoidance showed a significant greater positive impact on suppression. However, the current research was not able to find out the impact of secure attachment on ER dimensions due to the questionnaire used, therefore future research should examine the impact of secure attachment on ER dimensions. A significant factor derived from the results is that, it’s important to design interventions that focus on improving ER in order to address difficulties with ER for those with attachment problems.

Published: March 2024

In educational assessment there are two major frameworks by which items contained in a test can be examined. These are classical test theory and item response theory. In this study, the author prove the applicability of the classical test theory to the assessment of the quality of multiple- choice junior secondary mathematics test items. Fifty multiple –choice general mathematics test items were administered to four hundred (400) students randomly selected from twenty (20) Junior Secondary schools three (JSS III) students. Ten (10) schools each were purposively selected from private and public schools in Ado local government area of Ekiti state, Nigeria. Three general questions were generated and answered, while two hypotheses were formulated and tested using t-test statistic at 0.05 level significant. Results showed that, out of the 50 items in the test on the basis of difficulty parameter, five (5) items (10%) failed to meet the set criteria for item qualify while on the basis of item discriminating index five items were of poor quality. However, 45 items based on the established standards were considered ‘good’ items. Finally on the basic of performance, there was no significant differences between students in private and public schools, and also between male and female students from the twenty schools considered for this study which led to the upholding of the two hypotheses formulated for the study at p < 0.0.5. It is recommended that, general mathematics papers, that are to be used to examine students’ learning outcomes in Junior School Certificate Examination should be properly validated.

Authors: Onyekwelu Raphael Azubuike
Published: March 2024

The study investigated how to enhance the quality of secondary education through professional development of teachers in Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study and one hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The descriptive survey research design guided the study. The population of the study comprised 5396 (5,133 teachers and 263 principals) in 263 public secondary schools in six Education Zones in Anambra State. A total of 579 respondents (513 teachers and 66 principals) were drawn through proportionate stratified and simple random sampling technique for the study. Two validated structured questionnaires were used as a instrument for data collection. The application of Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient yielded coefficient values of 0.81 for teachers’ professional development and 0.77 for quality in secondary education for the two instruments respectively with an overall coefficient value of 0.79 for internal consistency of the instrument. Mean, standard deviations and t-test were used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that engaging secondary school teachers in ongoing training workshops target at improving subject knowledge; establishing mentorship programmes for experienced and less experienced teachers so as to provide guidance and providing teachers with adequate time to study new techniques to improve their practice are TPD strategies for enhancing the quality of secondary education in Nigeria. The findings also show that dysfunctional school cultures, poor leadership commitment towards providing quality in secondary education, poor funding and lack of a shared vision about what high-quality instruction entails are some of the obstacles to professional development of teachers. Further findings revealed that teachers’ professional development significantly enhances the quality of secondary education in Nigeria. The researchers therefore recommended among others that Government at all levels through the ministries of education should draw up a policy framework for teachers’ professional development in secondary schools in Nigeria.
VALUE RELEVANCE DAS PRÁTICAS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS: COMO O MERCADO AVALIOU A INCLUSÃO DAS EMPRESAS NO ÍNDICE DE SUSTENTABILIDADE EMPRESARIAL (ISE) NA ÚLTIMA DÉCADA
Authors: CAF Lucas , Ribeiro Alex Mussoi
Published: March 2024

O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar a evolução da relevância da informação ambiental para o mercado na última década. Os indícios obtidos com o trabalho podem ajudar a esclarecer se o recente movimento da sociedade em torno do Environmental Social Governance (ESG) pode se traduzir em maiores valores para as companhias que possuem as melhores práticas socioambientais. A amostra final do trabalho foi composta por 3.516 observações de 416 empresas ao longo de 11 anos (2010 – 2020). O modelo de relevância utilizado foi o Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC) adaptado de Barth, Beaver e Landsman (1998). Neste modelo, o valor de mercado é comparado entre as empresas que fazem parte ou não do Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) por meio da medida do R-quadrado ajustado. Com base nos resultados obtidos, observa-se uma expressiva diferença a maior entre os R-quadrados ajustadosdos modelos com a variável ISE ao longo dos anos. Isto demonstra que o mercado precifica o fato de a empresa ser incorporada ao índice de sustentabilidade da B3 S.A. Quanto à tendência desta diferença, percebe-se um crescimento de 2010 com o ápice em 2015/2016 e posterior declínio. Isto corrobora com a lógica de que o interesse do mercado com questões socioambientais é cíclico e não linear.
ORIGENS DA PRIMEIRA ESCOLA DE CONTABILIDADE MUNDIAL: A AULA DE COMÉRCIO DE LISBOA (1759)
Authors: Gonçalves Miguel
Published: March 2024

O artigo tem por objecto uma reflexão sobre os principais aspectos que conduziram ao aparecimento do primeiro estabelecimento de ensino público oficial de Contabilidade em Portugal: a Aula de Comércio de Lisboa (17591844). Nestes termos, foram identificadas como causas para a fundação de uma escola de saberes contabilísticos: (1) a acção da Junta de Comércio como patrona do ensino comercial em Portugal; (2) o papel determinante desempenhado pelo Marquês de Pombal; e (3) a estratégia de instrução comercial da burguesia mercantil, classe em ascensão no terceiro quartel de Setecentos. Adicionalmente, o estudo permite também concluir que o terramoto de 1755 concorreu directamente para o retardamento do arranque do ensino comercial em Portugal. Sistematizadas as principais linhas orientadoras do normativo estatutário da Aula de Comércio, os resultados apontam para a convicção de que fora um pensamento sério aquele que esteve na base da concepção do agente pioneiro de produção e difusão da Contabilidade em Portugal.

Published: March 2024

Considerando a crescente demanda por transparência e prestação de contas no que diz respeito à composição do preço dos combustíveis, bem como a importância do rateio dos custos para garantir informações financeiras mais confiáveis, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto do rateio dos custos conjuntos e destacar a relevância de uma escolha fundamentada, levando em consideração as particularidades do setor em questão. O presente artigo visa examinar e comparar os principais métodos de alocação dos custos conjuntos, buscando avaliar se a escolha de um método específico poderia influenciar de forma tendenciosa as decisões estratégicas da Petrobras. Ao analisar os prós e contras de cada método, é possível conjecturar que, no mercado de energia, onde a empresa tem a obrigação de atender às demandas do mercado, o método do valor de mercado pode ser considerado o mais justo para a alocação dos custos. Isso se deve ao fato de que ele leva em conta a demanda do mercado e o valor atribuído ao produto oferecido. Dessa forma, em um mercado que exige cada vez mais transparência, revisar as informações divulgadas ao mercado e apresentar um detalhamento do lucro bruto dos principais produtos pode ser uma estratégia excelente para atender às expectativas dos consumidores e fortalecer a imagem da empresa. Essa abordagem traria maior clareza e permitiria uma análise mais aprofundada dos custos e margens envolvidos, demonstrando o compromisso com a transparência e a responsabilidade corporativa. Assim, é fundamental que a Petrobras considere cuidadosamente a escolha do método de alocação dos custos conjuntos, levando em conta as especificidades do mercado em que atua. Ao adotar o método do valor de mercado, a empresa poderia fornecer informações mais confiáveis e alinhadas com as exigências do mercado, o que contribuiria para a construção de uma reputação sólida e a conquista da confiança dos consumidores. Este artigo irá demonstrar que a análise criteriosa dos métodos de alocação dos custos conjuntos é essencial para garantir uma abordagem justa e transparente, que promova a eficiência e a credibilidade no setor de combustíveis.

Authors: Brasileiro H. L. , Silva P.V.J.G.
Published: March 2024

O artigo aborda a Apuração dos Principais Erros na Previsão e Alocação Orçamentária da Comercialização no Mercado Interno da Petrobras (CMI). É destacada a importância do Planejamento Estratégico nas empresas, sua cultura orçamentária e a subdivisão dos orçamentos internos e governamentais da Petrobras. O estudo tem como objetivo avaliar os erros cometidos pela CMI, analisando seu impacto na realização orçamentária e no planejamento futuro. Serão propostas alternativas para reduzir esses erros e melhorar a precisão e eficiência do processo, buscando um planejamento mais realista e assertivo. Observou-se que os maiores erros ocorrem no grupo de contas "Outros", especialmente na conta de Assinaturas de Publicações Técnicas e Periódicos. A alocação dos custos é realizada manualmente no sistema SAP, o que dificulta a correta alocação devido ao extenso plano de contas pouco divulgado. Além disso, a consulta à área contábil enfrenta demoras, tornando o processo ineficiente. Ações de melhoria propostas incluem treinamento adequado no SAP, atualização e maior divulgação do plano de contas, e a designação de um ponto focal para consultas rápidas. A integração desses pontos é essencial para uma alocação de gastos mais precisa e eficiente. Para melhorar o processo de alocação de gastos na CMI da Petrobras, foram implementadas ações baseadas na metodologia do estudo. Criou-se um guia de passo a passo para consulta no SAP, divulgado com treinamentos para toda a gerência executiva. Além disso, está prevista a automação do Plano de Contas e a definição de um ponto focal para consultas. A análise dos dados mostrou que a conta de Assinaturas de Publicações apresentou erros significativos na alocação, representando grande parte do orçamento previsto para 2024. Com as melhorias implementadas, estima-se uma redução de 90% nos erros e maior eficiência no processo.

Os resultados destas avaliações revelam baixo desempenho dos estudantes, especialmente em matemática. Minas Gerais possui seu próprio sistema de avaliação, o Sistema Mineiro de Avaliação e Equidade da Educação Pública (SIMAVE), dividido em dois programas: o Programa de Avaliação da Alfabetização (PROALFA) e o Programa de Avaliação da Rede Pública de Educação Básica (PROEB). Este artigo apresenta e discute a proficiência alcançada em matemática pelos estudantes mineiros do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental (EF), utilizando os dados secundários do PROEB de 2019 e 2021. Trata-se de uma pesquisa censitária, de abordagem quali-quantitativa, de caráter descritivo e exploratório. A análise quantitativa utiliza os indicadores estatísticos: níveis médios de proficiência, percentual de participação e percentual de alunos por padrão de desempenho. A análise qualitativa é feita à luz da escala de proficiência do PROEB, que é o principal alicerce de toda essa discussão. Os resultados encontrados revelam que os estudantes mineiros do 9º ano estão no padrão de desempenho intermediário, apontando que várias habilidades matemáticas precisam ser melhor consolidadas para alavancar os resultados. Este é um recorte de uma pesquisa maior, que objetiva analisar a proficiência verificando se há uma correlação dos resultados a quatro indicadores educacionais: adequação da formação docente, índice de regularidade docente, índice de complexidade de gestão e nível socioeconômico dos alunos das escolas que ofertam o 9º ano do EF da rede pública de ensino de Itamarandiba e Diamantina com os dados obtidos pela avaliação do PROEB.

Este artigo tem como objetivos analisar se as Matrizes de Referência (MR) do 2º ano do Ensino Fundamental (EF) utilizadas no SAEB e no PROALFA em 2019 avaliaram as mesmas habilidades matemáticas em seus testes cognitivos e verificar se essas habilidades são as mesmas preconizadas pela BNCC, no que tange ao eixo do conhecimento/unidade temática “Probabilidade e Estatística”. Para tal, foi realizada uma análise documental, comparativa, observando a terminologia utilizada, o número de habilidades e a classificação dessas habilidades em processos cognitivos. Tanto a análise comparativa entre as habilidades das avaliações em larga escala entre si quanto a análise da correspondência com a BNCC utilizaram os verbos de cada dimensão cognitiva do TIMSS. Constatou-se que o SAEB e a BNCC utilizam a mesma terminologia “Probabilidade e Estatística”, entretanto, o PROALFA organiza as habilidades relacionadas a esta unidade por meio do campo temático “Tratamento da Informação”. Em relação à quantidade de habilidades relacionadas à Probabilidade e Estatística, a MR do SAEB contempla mais habilidades do que a MR do PROALFA. Em relação aos eixos cognitivos, verificou-se um distanciamento existente entre as MR do SAEB e do PROALFA no eixo do conhecimento analisado. Concluiu-se que o SAEB e, especialmente o PROALFA, precisam melhor alinhar suas MR às normativas à BNCC, a fim de avaliarem o desempenho dos estudantes da forma mais aproximada possível do currículo escolar.

Published: March 2024

esde a proliferação da pandemia da COVID-19, devido ao novo Coronavírus, e do consequente isolamento social, a sociedade passa por mudanças extremas de rotina. A busca por maneiras alternativas de se relacionar com o outro revela-se algo comum no cotidiano das pessoas autistas, que apresentam alterações relativas às habilidades de Comunicação Social (AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION, 2013). Neste artigo, escrito por uma doutoranda autista, que mantém presença intensa na produção de conteúdo sobre o Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) na Internet, e sua orientadora no mestrado, trazemos à discussão a construção de textualidades nas plataformas digitais por meio do diálogo com depoimentos de autistas e do ativismo nessas plataformas durante e anteriormente ao período inicial da quarentena. Metodologicamente, optamos por uma incursão em perfis públicos de redes digitais com uma inspiração etnográfica (DAS, 2020). Assim, visamos à articulação de um diálogo entre a doutoranda autista e os perfis observados, no que se refere à acessibilidade afetiva (PESSOA, 2019) para e por pessoas no Espectro Autista durante a pandemia da COVID-19.

Published: March 2024

In an era where student success extends beyond academic knowledge, educational institutions have recognized the importance of equipping students with a broader set of competencies. Thus, the paper examined the implementation and impact of a peer-assisted learning and tutorship program aimed at fostering student success competencies. The study focused on an educational institution where the program is implemented as a central intervention to support students in developing essential skills and competencies necessary for academic achievement and lifelong learning. Generally, peer-assisted learning and tutorship programs have emerged as valuable intervention strategies to support student success. Thus, a qualitative approach was adopted, using focus group interviews to collect data among peer-assisted learning leaders and tutors who were involved in the peer-assisted learning and tutor development programme at the University where the study took place. The analysis of the collected data revealed significant findings regarding the peer-assisted learning and tutorship program which signifies the program as an enabler for student success competencies. The results demonstrated improvements in several areas, including academic competence, communication and collaboration, student agency, adaptability, and a sense of belonging within the learning community among the participants. The paper concluded with implications for educational institutions, suggesting that peer-assisted learning and tutorship programs be integrated as a central component of the curriculum to nurture student success competencies. Thus, by prioritizing the development of student success competencies through such programs, educational institutions can better prepare students for future academic, personal, and professional pursuits.

Harmonization of Higher Education for Sustainable Development: Southern Africa Development Community Experiences
Authors: Chikuvadze Pinias , Mugijima Samuel
Published: March 2024

The world-over, higher education remains a key determinant for scientific and technological development. Hence, Southern Africa Development Community (SADC)’s higher education institutions are considered crucial social organizations in spreading knowledge, and innovation for sustainable development. This study called for inclusion of the qualitative content analysis in an attempt to explore higher education collaboration or partnerships within SADC. Using the AJOL, Scopus, DHTE, DOAJ, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, 60 articles were purposively selected for this review. These available literature sources are accessible on issues around higher education harmonization for sustainable development in SADC for scrutiny. From the content analysis, harmonization was conceptualized as the collaboration, integration or partnership within regional higher education institutions. The rationale for these collaborations or partnerships was to enhance adherence to the agreed-upon higher education conditions and instruments. These created the framework of standards, to facilitate credit transfer and evaluation within SADC’s higher education institutions. From this content analysis, it can be concluded that the harmonization of higher education systems for sustainable development is seen as a spontaneous process subtle to various intricacies, as it permits individual institutions to enjoy the fruits of regional integration. It is in this context, that the researchers recommend the enunciation of SADC’s higher education harmonization for sustainable development guiding procedures vis-a-vis internationalisation. Therefore, this discussion adds voice to the existing argument on the need for higher education institutions in SADC member states to move towards an integrated higher education system.
