Application of day-ahead optimal scheduling model based on multi-energy micro-grids with uncertainty in wind and solar energy and energy storage station
Authors: Zhang Hongxin
Published: July 2024

Multi-energy micro-grid has received widespread attention in the wave of continuous promotion and development of renewable energy. However, in the face of wind and solar uncertainty, its scheduling model needs to be further optimized. Therefore, a multi-energy micro-grid day-ahead optimal scheduling model was proposed to construct wind and solar uncertainty scenarios, and the application of energy storage station was considered. Multiple algorithms were introduced to propose the multi-energy micro-grid day-ahead optimal scheduling model. Finally, the research content was validated. The results confirmed that the wind and solar power output probability model could describe the characteristics of wind and solar power output at different periods. The generated scenes had a large number of wind speeds in the range of 1.5 m/s to 5 m/s, and the light intensity reached its peak at 14:00, which was consistent with the historical data of the research object. In addition, the total pre-scheduling cost of this optimized scheduling model within a day was 45.16×105 yuan, while the actual scheduling cost within a day was only 21.46×105 yuan. It saved costs by 41.65% and 44.95%, respectively, compared to the comparison algorithms. The research has driven innovation and optimization of the multi-energy micro-grid scheduling model. This provides a useful theoretical and practical basis for addressing the uncertainty of wind and solar energy and improving the economic efficiency of energy systems, which is crucial for the sustainable development of new energy.

Representasi sensualitas simbolis pada iklan alat kontrasepsi: (Analisis Semiotika Roland Barthes)
Authors: Afrisyah Misbahul , Kurniawan Bima
Published: July 2024

This study aims to examine the symbolic representation of sensuality in contraceptive advertisements, specifically the "Sutra Gerigi Lebih Berasa #MantapMantapMakinMesra" version of Sutra Condom ads, through Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. This method is chosen to reveal hidden meanings in the visual symbols and text of the advertisement using concepts such as denotation, connotation, and myth. The research findings indicate that the advertisement positions women as subordinate objects by highlighting sensitive body parts and employing sensual gestures to attract viewers' interest. The discussion reveals that this representation reinforces stereotypes that women merely serve to satisfy men's desires and exploits women's beauty and body shapes for commercial purposes. The conclusion of this study is that such contraceptive advertisements strengthen negative stigmas against women and demonstrate that their beauty and sexual appeal continue to be exploited in modern advertising.

Human activity has negative impacts; methods and techniques have been developed to achieve harmony in the ecosystem. One method in tourism is the Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC). The objective was to determine the acceptable limits of change in the Huagapo cave using a quantitative-qualitative approach through literature review, interviews, surveys, and the application of this methodology. It was found that zone 1 (parking area) has the presence of invasive vegetation. Zones 3, 4, and 5 have a high degree of impact on endemic vegetation. Zone 6, a primitive trail, has a medium impact on the trail width, with invasive vegetation (eucalyptus, cypress) and invasive animals (dogs, pigs) threatening endemic flora and fauna (quinumal, amphibians), affecting biodiversity and ecological balance. It is concluded that zones 1, 3, 4, and 6, with high and medium impact, require efforts in preventing deterioration and maintaining the balance of the tourist attraction.

Published: July 2024

This study addresses the link between Internet use by adolescents and the adolescent-parent relationship. We consider that adolescents' perception of this relationship plays an important role to the Internet addiction. In addition to descriptive analyzes and the relationship between variables, the level of variance in a criterion variable was also analyzed, which can be explained by predictive variables. The study is ex post facto, which means that the variables were not under our control as researchers, but the data were collected after the fact occurred, ie after we identified the level of Internet use in adolescents and the relationship they have with parents.The results of our study showed that adolescents' internet addiction is "average" and there is no age limit and it does not depend on gender either. The results showed that the adolescent parent relationship was negatively associated with Internet addiction in adolescents.

Authors: Soares Ricardo de Moraes e , Morais Alexandre Nunes , Martins Vanda
Published: July 2024

Analysing energy consumption efficiency is essential for understanding energy resource consumption patterns, identifying the economic consequences, and developing effective public policies. The study investigates energy consumption efficiency levels in Portuguese municipalities in order to analyse disparities in energy consumption efficiency. The aim is to observe the possible relationship between population density and the energy consumed by residents. The study uses the DEA model to detect benchmarking patterns, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement in energy consumption practices. The results suggest that there are serious disparities in energy consumption efficiency between Portuguese municipalities and a significant positive correlation between population density and the amount of energy consumed. The disparities can be attributed to the different levels of adoption of efficient energy consumption practices. The results point to the need to define public policies aimed at promoting more efficient energy consumption practices. The research emphasises the importance of implementing more effective public policies that encourage the adoption of sustainable energy consumption practices by residents. The conclusions have important practical implications for the formulation of public policies aimed at local energy efficiency and the development of sustainable energy consumption.

Published: July 2024

The telecommunications industry in Indonesia faces numerous challenges in allocating resources for network development, including network complexity, technological changes, market competition, and customer expectations. To achieve optimal financial outcomes and customer satisfaction, investments must be well-managed, well-placed, and well-executed. This study analyses network investment portfolio selection outcomes at Telkomsel; Indonesia's largest cellular operator, comparing conventional scenarios (financial and network) with an optimized scenario using Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP). The research evaluates these scenarios based on total portfolio score, incremental revenue, and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Financial indicators such as net present value (NPV), IRR, EBIT margin, incremental revenue, and network indicators such as capacity and customer satisfaction (download/upload throughput, latency, packet loss, jitter) assess investment feasibility. The MILP optimization scenario strongly correlates with incremental revenue, NPV, and IRR, indicating higher financial performance. Sites selected in the MILP optimization scenario outperformed others in total score (22% better than the financial scenario, 63% better than the network scenario), incremental revenue (3.5% better than the financial scenario, 90.2% better than the network scenario), and portfolio IRR (4% better than the financial scenario, 70% better than the network scenario).

Exposición selectiva, confianza en medios y tolerancia a compartir desinformación
Authors: Londoño Pardo Oscar Iván , García-Perdomo Víctor
Published: July 2024

A partir de los datos obtenidos mediante una encuesta nacional de carácter urbano (N=1159), este estudio contribuye a esclarecer la relación entre la exposición selectiva, la confianza en los medios y la tolerancia a compartir desinformación en el contexto de las elecciones presidenciales en Colombia durante 2022. Los hallazgos sugieren que existe una mayor probabilidad de consumir medios ideológicamente afines en el caso de la televisión, los periódicos y las revistas digitales, no así con los medios de la radio. Además, la exposición selectiva aumenta la confianza en los medios así como la tolerancia a compartir desinformación. Finalmente, los datos sugieren que la exposición selectiva junto a una mayor confianza en los medios pueden ser dos factores que aumentan la tolerancia a compartir desinformación. Estos resultados contribuyen a la discusión sobre el papel de la ideología política en el consumo mediático en el sur global y plantea una nueva paradoja: la coexistencia de la confianza en los medios con la tolerancia a información falsa o imprecisa que puede afectar la democracia.

Neck pain is one of the musculoskeletal disorders reported globally, with a fairly high number of incidences. In Indonesia, the incidence of neck pain reaches 46.5%, with symptoms of pain episodes that increase and recur. Neck pain can be caused by several factors, one of which is sedentary activity, such as the duration of sitting every day. The duration of sitting, which is part of the ergonomic factor, causes the body to maintain stative muscle tension for a long time. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sitting duration and the incidence of neck pain in medical students at Sriwijaya University. The method used is observational analysis with a cross-section approach. The number of samples in the study was 63 medical students, which were taken using a simple random technique. The instruments used in data collection were the sitting duration questionnaire and the Nordic Musculoskseletal Questionnaire (NMQ). The data was analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p = 0.05. The results showed that the distribution of neck pain incidence in this study was 60.3% and the duration of sitting was high, which was above 8 hours per day, reaching 55.6%. The results of the study also showed that there was a significant relationship between the duration of sitting and the incidence of neck pain in medical students at Sriwijaya University (p = 0.01). So, it can be concluded that sitting static for more than 8 hours per day can cause pain in the neck muscles.

Pruritus is one of the factors that contributes to reduced quality of life in patients with scabies, along with disease severity and sleep disturbances. So far not much is known about the molecular targets in scabies treatment. The aim of this article is to examine the potential of molecular targets for the design of treatment for nocturnal pruritus as the main symptom of scabies. Evidence in various literature correlates the incidence of scabies with a number of targets found in the skin, such as NK1R, JAK, TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels, because the expression of these receptors is very high in the skin lesions of patients suffering from nocturnal pruritus, when compared with skin that does not have lesions. . Results from comparing three molecular targets and considering the development of new therapeutic strategies with structure-based design, NK1R seems to be the most promising due to recent findings of its crystallographic structure.

The study assessed the pre-marital counselling needs of tertiary institution students in Kaduna State. Two research objectives, research questions and hypotheses each guided the study. A mixed research design was employed, and the study population was students in Kaduna State's tertiary institutions. A sample of four hundred and fifty (450) participants was selected using multiple sampling techniques. Frequency and percentages were used to present the demographic data of respondents. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation, while the t-test was used to test the hypotheses. The study revealed that there is a significant difference between male and female students' pre-marital counselling needs and preferences. Females prioritise topics like communication skills, conflict resolution, and financial management, while males emphasise understanding gender roles and expectations within marriage. Added to this, male and female students show preferences for same-gender counsellors, with males often preferring counsellors who share their religious background. Based on the findings from this study, it was recommended, among others, that professional counsellors should develop differentiated counselling curricula that cater to the unique needs of male and female students is crucial. For female students, the curriculum should prioritise the development of communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, financial management literacy, and domestic violence awareness. For male students, discussions should be integrated to foster healthy partnerships, deconstruct societal expectations of masculinity, and understand gender roles within marriage. This gender-specific approach will ensure the counselling addresses each group's distinct challenges and expectations.

Published: July 2024

This article investigates the dynamics of marital satisfaction in polygynous marriages within Zaria, Nigeria. It employs a mixed methods approach to explore how communication patterns and financial stability influence marital adjustment. Key findings reveal that effective communication, perceived fairness in resource allocation by the husband, and culturally supported conflict resolution strategies are all significant predictors of marital satisfaction in polygynous families. The study emphasizes the importance of open communication regarding finances, child-rearing practices, and emotional needs to foster trust and cooperation among spouses. It highlights the detrimental effects of favouritism and unequal treatment and the importance of emotional intelligence for navigating complex emotions inherent in polygynous structures. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge, among others, by reinforcing the critical role of communication and fairness in promoting marital adjustment within polygynous marriages, establishing a positive association between financial stability and marital satisfaction in polygynous families, and demonstrating the link between personal satisfaction, particularly wives' perception of fairness and emotional support from their husbands, and overall marital adjustment. Based on the study's findings, the following practical recommendations are proposed to improve marital adjustment within Zarian polygynous families: Tailored counselling services designed to promote effective communication and conflict resolution skills among spouses; Educational programs for religious leaders and potential husbands on fostering fairness and healthy communication practices within polygynous marriages; Training for couples in emotional intelligence to equip them with the tools to navigate the complexities of polygynous relationships.

Three Nigerian medicinal plants Psidium guajava Linn, Senna siamea Lam, and Senna obtusifolia L were investigated to determine the pharmacognostic characteristics, phytochemical contents and their activities against Candida albicans.  The fresh leaves of each plant were examined for their microscopic characters and then processed. The dried ground leaves were extracted using water and ethanol. The extracts were subjected to phytochemical screening and their anticandida activities were determined using paper disc diffusion method at concentrations of 25mg/ml; 50mg/ml; 100mg/ml; 200mg/ml and 400mg/ml with Ketoconazole as control. The study indicated that the plant extracts contained alkaloids, anthraquinones, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, tannins and terpenoids. Glycoside was found to be absent. The extracts of the plants showed varying mean zones of inhibition (MZI) against C. albicans ranging from 6.00±0.00 to 16.67±1.53mm. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the extracts ranged from 10mg/ml to 20mg/ml while the Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) ranged from 20mg/ml to >80mg/ml with P. guajava having the least MIC and MFC of 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml respectively. The results indicated that MZI of the aqueous and ethanol extracts of P. guajava at a concentration of 400mg/ml had no significant differences at p ≤ 0.05. Further research is recommended for possible combinations of lower doses of the extracts to study their synergistic effects on C. albicans and to explore other potentials of the plants against other pathogens.

This study discussed ontological security in the peace process and its impact on conflict transformation in southern Ethiopia conflicts. By analyzing the Garri and Borana conflict and the peace process, the study demonstrates how ethnic conflicts involving conceptions of self-narratives with ontological asymmetry deter peace initiatives. Ontological security framework and qualitative approach guided the study, which sought to interpret reality from the context of the respondents. The study used Key Informant Interview and Focus Group Discussions as a source of primary data and review of secondary sources. Accordingly, the study revealed that the southern Ethiopia peace process since the establishment of ethnic federalism, particularly between Garri [Somali] and Borana [Oromo], has been characterized by persistent ontological (in)security, conflicting narratives, and recurring violence, perpetuating cycle of insecurity and hindering the achievement of durable peace. Breaking this cycle requires negotiations that address the central narratives embraced by both groups, promoting mutual recognition and transforming antagonistic relationships. Embracing coexistence and constructing transformative strategies can create a mutually acceptable narrative that can challenge the established conflict narrative. The study concludes that a peaceful, stable, and mutually supportive environment can be fostered by creating a durable framework that addresses the ontological security concerns of both communities.
