Extreme learning machine based on BDE feature selection to detect fault scenarios in grid-connected PV systems under MPPT mode
Authors: Fares Noureddine , Souaidia Chouaib , Thelaidjia Tawfik
Published: October 2024

This paper considers real-time data-driven adaptive fault detection (FD) in grid-connected PV (GPV) systems under maximum power point tracking (MPPT) modes during large variations. Faults under MPPT modes remain undetected for longer periods, introducing new protection challenges and threats to the system. An intelligent FD algorithm is developed through real-time multi-sensor measurements and virtual Micro Phasor Measurement Unit (Micro-PMU) estimations. The high-dimensional and high-frequency multivariate features vary over time, and computational efficiency becomes crucial to realizing online adaptive FD. The goal of this study is to present an artificial intelligence (AI) technique for detecting seven faults: inverter fault, feedback sensor fault, grid anomaly, nonhomogeneous partial shading, open circuit in PV array, MPPT controller fault, and boost converter controller fault. In this work, it was found that the application of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) plays an important role in fault detection and localization. Nine (9) statistical features and eight (8) wavelet packet parameters are extracted from the data based on multiple default values. These features were used as an input vector to train and test the ELM and determine whether the system is operating under normal conditions or is faulty. The BDE feature selection algorithm is adopted to optimize the seven-fault classification procedure to reduce the number of features. The results showed that the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), based on statistical parameters followed by BDE, can detect faults with high accuracy (98.3%) compared to a case without optimization.

Authors: Bouchetata Nadir , Ghaouti Laaredj , Chebre M’hamed
Published: October 2024

Direct torque control was introduced in 1980 for induction machine for torque and flux control and developed for MSAP in 1990. DTC is gaining popularity due to its simple control structure and easy implementation. The principle of direct torque control (DTC) of the asynchronous machine was introduced in 1985 by I. Takahashi as an alternative to flux-directed vector control (FOC). It is thanks to its simple control structure that it gains popularity and its easy implementation that it has opened a new horizon in the field of variable speed control of electric drives. Indeed, direct torque control (DTC) has benefited in recent years from significant methodological advances in operation and technological development following the introduction of power electronics and digital electronics and the implementation of possible and very usable control algorithms. In conjunction with these technological advances, the scientific community has developed several control approaches to control the operation of electrical machines. In this context, this article presents a comparative study of the different direct torque control (DTC) strategies and structures of the permanent magnet synchronous machine (MSAP). We propose the algorithm of this control making it possible to provide solutions to the ripples of the torque and the stator flux in order to reduce them by adopting a method of compensating the effects of progression by passing from the six sector DTC (DTC – 6S: classic and modified) then develop the twelve-sector DTC (DTC-12S) whose purpose is to minimize ripples and control the switching frequency of the inverter. The simulation graphs presented will clearly show the difference between the different controls techniques cited.
An electro-elastic contact problem with an internal state variable
Authors: Douib Bachir , Ahmed Abdelaziz Azeb , Aoun Mohammed Salah Mesai
Published: October 2024

We consider a mathematical model which describes the quasistatic process of contact between a piezoelectric body and an electrically conductive foundation. General models for elastic materials with piezoelectirec effect, called electro-elastic materials. This paper is devoted to the study of the model involving a frictionless contact between an electro-elastic body characterized by long memory and a conductive adhesive foundation. The process is mechanically quasistatic and electrically static. We model the material with a general nonlinear electro-elastic constitutive law with internal state variable and the contact with normal compliance and unilateral constraint, where the adhesion is taken into account and a regularized electrical conductivity condition.  The main feature of these models consists of the fact that their variational formulation is given by a history-dependent quasivariational inequality for the displacement field and a linear variational equation for the electric potential. A weak formulation for the model is given in the form of a coupled system for the displacement, the stress, the electric displacement, the electric potential, the bonding and the variable state internal fields. We derive a variational formulation for the problem and then, under a smallness assumption on the data, we prove the existence of a unique weak solution to the model. We also investigate the behavior of the solution with respect the electric data on the contact surface and prove its unique weak solution. The proof is based on nonlinear evolution equations with monotone operators, differential equations and Banach fixed point arguments.

Authors: Zhang Zhihao
Published: October 2024

With the rapid development of e-commerce, the importance of express delivery network in the modern logistics system is becoming more and more prominent. In order to scientifically assess the importance of urban express sites, this paper proposes a multi-objective decision-making method based on entropy weight method and TOPSIS model. The entropy weight method is objectively assigned by analysing the data dispersion of indicators, and the TOPSIS model is used to rank urban sites by calculating their distance from ideal and negative ideal solutions. In this paper, we firstly processed the data with multiple interpolation to ensure its accuracy, and selected four key indicators, namely, shipping volume, receiving volume, correlation and growth trend of express delivery volume. The results show that the entropy weight method-TOPSIS model can effectively assess the importance of each city site, provide a scientific basis for optimising the express delivery network, and have a wide range of application potential.

The Impact of Investor Psychology on Investment Decisions
Authors: Xie Jiarui
Published: October 2024

This article aims to explore the significant impact of investor psychology on investment decisions, taking overconfidence and risk tolerance theories as examples to analyze their influence on decision-making. The examination of the investment psychology during the Chinas 2018 A-share crash highlights that investors are susceptible to psychological biases and emotional reactions in the face of market changes. These biases include representativeness bias, where investors may rely too heavily on stereotypes, leading to misjudgments; panic, which can trigger impulsive and irrational selling; overconfidence, causing investors to overestimate their abilities and knowledge; and catastrophic thinking, where investors focus excessively on potential worst-case outcomes. These psychological factors contribute to increased market volatility and can lead to irrational judgments and behaviors among investors. Such behavior is detrimental to the market's stable development, as it can result in mispricing of assets and increased risk of misinvestment. The article emphasizes the critical role of investor psychology in rational decision-making and market efficiency. By recognizing the personal and environmental drivers of these biases, investors can adopt strategies to counteract their influence. This includes improving self-awareness, seeking a variety of perspectives, and employing tools to regulate emotional reactions to market shifts. Policymakers can further contribute by fostering market transparency and educating investors, which can diminish the impact of psychological biases on investment choices. In conclusion, a concerted effort to comprehend and tackle investor psychology is essential for cultivating a more stable and efficient investment landscape.

Authors: Huang Xiuzuo
Published: October 2024

China's rapid economic development over the past 40 years has improved the overall quality of life of the population but has also brought about uneven distribution of resources. The problem of educational inequality under the conditions of uneven distribution of economic development is one of the main problems that China needs to solve. Solving the problem of educational inequality plays a positive role in social fairness, justice, and long-term stability. Based on the above background, this paper focuses on the development of education policies in recent decades, the gains and losses of education poverty alleviation, the causes of the "involutionary" competition in urban education, and the effectiveness of relevant policies. It is recommended to improve the allocation of educational resources further and invest appropriate resources in the construction of vocational and technical schools to match the current development vision of China's economy. This paper suggests that students from poor areas be allowed to study in economically developed areas to improve educational resources in poor areas in the short term. This paper also calls on the government to establish a long-term mechanism to promote the growth of the education industry and promote a positive cycle of educational development and economic development.
Optimizing Short Video Recommendation Systems: Addressing Cold-Start and Diversity Challenges through Advanced Algorithms
Authors: Jin Haokai
Published: October 2024

This study reviews the integration of advanced algorithms in optimizing short video recommendation systems, specifically addressing the cold-start problem and content diversity. Traditional recommendation algorithms struggle to adapt to dynamic user interests and often fail in scenarios with limited historical data. To tackle these issues, we proposed two novel approaches by integrating the Portrait Upper Confidence Bound (PUCB) algorithm and the Exp3 algorithm. The PUCB algorithm effectively balances exploration and exploitation in cold-start scenarios by leveraging user portraits and UCB scores, while Exp3 enhances content diversity by dynamically adjusting recommendation probabilities. And the combined application of PUCB and Exp3 can greatly enhance the performance of short video platforms, providing more relevant and varied content to users.
O discurso iconográfico da ilustração portuguesa sobre a Revolta Monárquica de Monsanto (1919)
Authors: Azevedo Celiana , Sousa Jorge Pedro , Cardoso Fátima Lopes
Published: October 2024

Na sequência da proclamação da Monarquia, no Porto, também monárquicos de Lisboa levaram a cabo uma intentona destinada a reinstituir a Monarquia na capital e no resto do país, no dia 22 de janeiro de 1919. Ficou conhecida por Revolta de Monsanto. O assalto às posições monárquicas por forças republicanas ditou o malogro da revolta e, indiretamente, ocasionou o fracasso da proclamação da Monarquia a norte. A investigação que aqui se apresenta visou desvelar, por meio de um estudo quantiqualitativo, a estrutura do discurso iconográfico que a Ilustração Portuguesa, única revista ilustrada coeva de grande circulação, construiu sobre esse episódio histórico. Partiu-se da hipótese de que o discurso da Ilustração Portuguesa se alinhou com o poder republicano, hipótese aceite, já que a publicação revestiu o triunfo republicano de uma dose de epopeia e valorizou os “bravos” e “mártires” da República.

Published: October 2024

Este artigo investiga, inicialmente, os modos pelos quais Claudia Andujar busca, a partir da construção de uma sintaxe imagética própria, representar os espíritos xapiri, da cosmologia Yanomami, visíveis apenas para os xamãs. Posteriormente, a partir do diálogo entre o modo de ver xamânico, descrito por Davi Kopenawa, e a teoria antropológica da arte de Alfred Gell, entende-se uma nova relação possível entre a fotografia de Andujar e os espíritos xapiri, expandida da representação icônica, relacionada à semelhança, para representação anicônica, como índice de presença e, desse modo, a imagem poderá ser pensada como manifestação. Por fim, tal potência da imagem é compreendida na perspectiva da agência do ato de ver, de modo que o visível se constitui apenas através dos outros corpos hábeis a vê-lo.

Archiving the Housing Conjuncture
Authors: Keller Judith , McElroy Erin , Thompson Samantha , Vilenica Ana
Published: October 2024

The past months have continued to exacerbate crises of housing, home, displacement, dispossession, and other state-sanctioned forms of violence and premature death. We witness erasure of histories, lives lived, belongings, and homes, which are intentional strategies to forcibly remove people from place and to make it seem as though they were never there. The authors thus document this conjunctural moment in radical housing struggles and collectively analyze and interpret the current political, economic, and social conditions, not for the sake of the analysis itself, but to inform strategies for action. This documentation encourages us to reflect on the role and value of archives in radical housing organizing. We define radical housing archiving as a collective intervention strategy responsive to the immediate housing crises built upon care for just housing futures. In this editorial, we aim to situate the archive while considering its possibilities for housing movements and radical care.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indonesian government have supported breastfeeding for 2 years. However, in the course of breastfeeding, there are several causes that make the breastfeeding process stop and make the baby not get enough nutrition, increasing the risk of stunting. With the increasing public awareness about breastfeeding and the incessant prevention of stunting, mothers who have stopped or not breastfeeding want to return to breastfeeding their babies in the process of relactation. The main factors that influence the success of relactation are strong motivation from the mother and breastfeeding stimulation. Cupping, which is now one of the traditional health services developed in Indonesia, is an order of the Prophet and is included in the best treatment methods. Cupping at the azh-zhahr point in the back area will stimulate the breast glands through the hypothalamus-pituitary-oxytocin pathway in the secretion and production of breast milk. Cupping on the 4 azh-zhahr points in the waist area will stimulate sympathetic nerves that suppress estrogen secretion which inhibits prolactin secretion in milk production. Cupping in general will stimulate the release of beta endorphin which suppresses stress reactions due to anxiety experienced by mothers in the relactation process so that it will create a sense of confidence to return to breastfeeding. Thus it is expected that cupping at the point of azh-zhahr can play an important role in the success of the relactation process in breastfeeding mothers.

 World Health Organization (WHO) dan pemerintah Indonesia telah mendukung menyusui selama 2 tahun. Namun dalam perjalanan menyusui, terdapat beberapa penyebab yang membuat proses menyusui terhenti dan menjadikan bayi tidak mendapatkan gizi yang cukup sehingga meningkatkan resiko stunting. Dengan meningkatnya kesadaran masyarakat tentang menyusui dan gencarnya pencegahan stunting, ibu yang sempat terhenti atau tidak menyusui ingin kembali menyusui bayinya dalam proses relaktasi. Faktor utama yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan relaktasi ini adalah motivasi kuat dari ibu dan stimulasi menyusui. Bekam yang kini menjadi salah satu pelayanan kesehatan tradisional yang berkembang di Indonesia, merupakan perintah Rasulullah dan termasuk dalam metode pengobatan terbaik. Bekam pada titik azh-zhahr di area punggung akan menstimulasi kelenjar payudara melalui jalur hipotalamus-hipofisis-oksitosin dalam pengeluaran dan produksi ASI. Pembekaman pada 4 titik azh-zhahr di area pinggang akan menstimulasi saraf simpatetis yang menekan sekresi estrogen yang menghambat sekresi prolaktin dalam produksi ASI. Bekam secara umum akan merangsang pelepasan beta endorphin yang menekan reaksi stress akibat kecemasan yang dialami ibu dalam proses relaktasi sehingga akan menimbulkan rasa kepercayaan diri untuk kembali menyusui. Dengan demikian diharapkan bekam pada titik azh-zhahr dapat berperan penting dalam keberhasilan proses relaktasi pada ibu menyusui.

Academic resilience has emerged as a problem in education and mental health among society, especially among teenagers. Positive parenting and self-efficacy are supporting factors that help adolescents develop academic resilience. This research aims to prove the influence of self-efficacy as a mediator between positive parenting and academic resilience in adolescents. This study employed a quantitative research design, specifically an ex-post facto, with a sample size of 302 adolescents. The sample for this research was determined using an accidental sampling technique. Data collection for this research involved the use of the Academic Resilience Scale-30 (ARS), positive parenting scale, and self-efficacy scale. The validity test employed factor loading results, while the reliability test utilized Cronbach's Alpha. The reliability coefficient values for the academic resilience scale, positive parenting scale, and self-efficacy scale are 0.911, 0.897, and 0.879, respectively. The data analysis utilized various techniques of multiple regression analysis. The findings of this study suggest that favourable parenting characteristics have a moderating effect on academic resilience. The impact of favourable parenting factors on academic resilience, initially at 27.1%, increases to 30.5% when the self-efficacy variable is considered.
