This work presents the implementation of a PI controller for a falling film evaporator model, which is part of an Absorption Heat Transformer (AHT). The evaporator control aids the process to maintain adequate performance which benefits the heat produced in the absorber to obtain high performance in the AHT. In this research, the evaporated mass flow rate was controlled by manipulating the mass flow rate flowing inside of the tubes to reach a certain heat transfer rate to evaporate a load of fluid flowing outside of the tubes as a falling film. The control is performed with a PI controller and a proportional controller with an adjusted bias. Additionally, disturbances are applied in the input temperature to simulate the temperature coming from industrial waste heat. This work can be a reference to control the falling film evaporator when it is coupled in the AHT and in other research such as in control of evaporators in the dairy industry.

As first step towards the consideration of the associated control-estimator design problem, in this study the problem of drawing a low-order finite-dimensional DA model of the bi/tristable OPDE one of a spatially distributed throated biomass gasification reactors is addressed, with focus on the description of the practical steady state (SS) of highest conversion. The reactor is described by 15 nonlinear PDEs, which are numerically solved using finite differences to discretize the spatial domain. The number and placement of nodes along the axial direction of the reactor act as degrees of freedom that must be carefully chosen. In this study, a node location method, initially developed for a different class of reactors, is applied to the throated reactor. It was found that the desired SS can be effectively described by relocating some nodes using the adaptive mesh method, which results in a model order smaller than the case with an uniform node distribution. It was also observed that one must be mindful of the discretization near the air entrance, as excessive discretization in that zone can lead to poor descriptions of the desired SS or increase unnecessarily the model order (and consequently, the number of equations to be solved online). The results presented here lay the groundwork for improving the adaptive mesh location method to extend its application to throated gasifiers, thereby ensuring accurate numerical solutions for control and estimation tasks.

In this article it is presented an FPGA-based extremum seeking control that is used to maximize the hydrogen productivity rate in a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) using the dilution rate as a control action. This extremum seeking control is based in the hydrogen productivity gradient and does not need a mathematical model. To achieve a positive energy balance, such optimization algorithm is implemented in an FPGA using a fixed point representation. By a closed loop simulation test and performance analysis of the FPGA-based extremum seeking control, it is demonstrated that FPGAs are the best implementation choice.

One of the most popular renewable energy sources is photovoltaic energy; however, its main drawback is the low conversion efficiency. Optimal system operation requires efficient tracking of the maximum power point representing the maximum energy that can be extracted from the photovoltaic system. One of the main problems is the presence of partial shadows. In this scenario, the system's power presents multiple peaks; a robust control technique is required to properly track the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP). This paper proposes using a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for the GMPP tracking which is a robust strategy for coping with changing environmental conditions and partial shadows. Numerical simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposal.

In this paper, we design a robust control strategy to solve the trajectory-tracking problem for perturbed unicycle mobile robots. The design is composed of an Integral Sliding-Mode Control, an interval predictor-based state-feedback controller and a Model Predictive Control. The controller handles some perturbations in the kinematic model, and state and input constraints that are related to workspace constraints and saturation on the actuators, respectively. The proposed approach ensures the exponential convergence to zero of the tracking error. Some simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.

Published: February 2024

Vertical urban growth is considered to be sustainable over a long period of time in developing countries. Vertical development has proven to be the most practical and sensible way for cities to grow in terms of economic and other important factors. The aim of this project is to look at residential satisfaction in apartment buildings. Research on the factors that influence the sample community's satisfaction with their homes is part of this research. The case study locations are Jallo colony, Kausar Flats and Askari 11 Apartments in Lahore. Distribution of survey questionnaires to 250 randomly selected participants from three designated areas (apartments) was the main element of the research methodology. Reliability analysis was carried out to determine the elements that influence citizen satisfaction. On the other hand, the opinions of tenants of apartment buildings in different parts of Lahore were compared using the chi-square test. However, rather than stopping at this research, scientists should go further and concentrate on the bad data that highlights design flaws that planners and architects must overcome to develop environments and spaces that satisfy humans. Our research revealed results that are largely consistent with previous research. This is followed by affordability, layout, proximity, connectivity, environmental factors, location, and recreational and leisure activities. Many publications center on citizen satisfaction with the complex's facilities and service requirements.

Kosmet and colonial discourse
Authors: Anđelković Stefan
Published: February 2024

In intellectual debates, as well as in the field of political confrontation, in Serbia, for years, they have been on the side of the extreme opposing population, which we can collectively call the national discourse. These two discourses also determine the reception of the current Kosovo problem. The national discourse, although present in numerous retouches, from the left to the extreme right, represents a critical confrontation with theoretical "principles" and political "solutions", regardless of their origin. Collinial discourse, on the other hand, implies the acceptance of both intellectual matrices and political platforms, which are established in international cultural or political centers. In this sense, the colonial discourse is articulated as an expert discourse. In other words, here the immediate political strategy of national security, when it comes to Kosovo, is justified not by the current power relations, but by the apology of those parameters that have turned out to be insurmountable "red lines" of powerful Western countries and international organizations in which they have the most influence. One of the concepts that gained importance in the colonial discourse is the concept of open dialogue. In this sense, collinear discourse actually makes critical discourse impossible, that is, the questioning and critical reception of ideologically or politically based solutions to the Kosovo issue.

After Donald Trump’s announcement to withhold US military support in case of an attack on a NATO member by Russia under certain circumstances, a discussion has been sparked on whether Europe itself should have their own nuclear weapons for nuclear deterrence. However, given the progress in the legal framework of nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament, European nuclear weapons would violate international law.
Copyright policies of science and engineering open access journals indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded or Scopus, published by Korean academic societies
Authors: Hong Dae Un , Lee Ju Yoen
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This article explores the challenges related to copyright policies in the context of science and engineering open access (OA) journals based in Korea.Methods: From Korea Citation Index (KCI)-listed science and engineering journals in English indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) or Scopus, 162 journals were identified as of January 10, 2024. Of these, 104 were published independently by Korean academic societies. All were open access. Data were collected from the KCI database and verified via each journal’s website. Discrepancies were resolved using the journal website information.Results: The English-language science and engineering OA journals published independently by Korean academic societies typically exhibit three common characteristics regarding their copyright and licensing policies. First, authors are generally required to transfer their copyrights. Second, the Creative Commons (CC) license terms are predominantly BY-NC (Attribution-NonCommercial), without providing authors the option to select alternative licensing terms. Third, the journals do not sufficiently protect the rights of the authors. From the analyses presented herein, it is evident that the current copyright and licensing policies of Korea’s English-language science and engineering OA journals lack a robust structure.Conclusion: These policies need to be revised to allow authors to retain copyright and require them to consent for the CC license terms it adopts, in order to align with the common practice among OA journals. Furthermore, to better protect authors’ rights, it would be beneficial to permit authors to choose the specific terms of the CC license for their articles.

Published: February 2024

La autoestima es un elemento esencial en la formación personal de los estudiantes en el sistema educativo y para la vida. Se reconoce una correlación directa entre una autoestima alta y la capacidad de lograr un aprendizaje autónomo y significativo de los estudiantes, pero de igual manera, el aprendizaje autónomo impone la necesidad de habilidades de independencia y responsabilidad. El objetivo es diseñar una estrategia metodológica que permita el desarrollo del aprendizaje autónomo (estudiantes de quinto año) en correspondencia con potenciar factores que incidan en un impulso de la autoestima como habilidad necesaria para su crecimiento intelectual. La investigación adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo; tipos de investigación correlacional, experimental y longitudinal. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos en el análisis teórico conceptual y el diseño de los instrumentos aplicados en el diagnóstico realizado (observación, análisis documental, la entrevista y la encuesta). A los resultados obtenidos en la encuesta se le aplicaron las pruebas de validez y fiabilidad (Alfa Cronbach y R cuadrado) con apoyo del software SSPS V25. Se propuso un proceder en aproximación al Método VALPER que permitió determinar seis variables influyentes y sus pesos relativos para ser consideradas en la estrategia, y que tributen al desarrollo de la autoestima y del aprendizaje. Por medio de ellas, se construyeron dos Índices Integrales que resultaron evaluados antes y después de la implementación de la estrategia y exhiben variaciones en la autoestima de 2,6344 a 2,9857 y en aprendizaje de 2,4067 a 3,1544, lo que demuestran la efectividad de la propuesta.

Since the rotor construction of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) is both simple and sturdy, this kind of motor may be used for highvelocity drives. The driving concept is effective, although it causes significant vibration and noise. Torque controllers are notoriously difficult to build because of the complexity introduced by traditional methods of current excitation. It has been suggested that SRM drive may benefit from the fuzzy with vector control in order to get over these issues. In the high-speed drive, vector control has not yet been implemented on the SRM. In this article, fuzzy control is used to clarify the optimal drive conditions—including switching frequency and bus voltage—for operating the SRM in the high-speed range. Fuzzy with vector control is proven to be able to drive the proposed SRM in the high-speed area, allowing for minimum vibration to be achieved.

Assessment plays an essential role in education because it measures the extent of student learning for both assessment of learning and assessment for learning. Assessment is constructed to promote student learning at the subject or broader level. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to rethink assessment for students’ learning to make it compatible with online or hybrid learning, which has been on the rise. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the need to rethink assessment in teaching and learning. The article provides insights into the reasons for and types of assessment. It also discusses various issues concerning assessments and different approaches to assessment that educators can apply in their modern teaching and learning, especially in the context of the 21st century. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for rethinking teaching and learning assessment to ensure it can help students develop the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in and outside the classroom setting.
My personal perspective on self-improvement
Authors: Sear Korngleng
Published: February 2024

In 2018, I came across a personal growth plan written by a renowned author and speaker, John C. Maxwell. I was intrigued by the principles, ideas, stories, and guidelines he taught in the personal growth plan. I decided to have a blueprint for my personal growth. After five years of dogged focus, concerted effort, and a high commitment to personal growth, I could see that the principle worked really effectively. This article aims to discuss several facts about self-improvement, and more particularly, it gives a step-by-step guide to developing ourselves effectively and efficiently. Even though I wrote the article from my personal perspective, I also used personal experience and research studies to support my own perspective. Overall, the article argues that self-improvement is a very long process, and it is also a key factor in helping people become lifelong learners or intellectuals who are highly needed for society.
The Perspective of Mobile Financial Services as a sustainable tool of Financial Inclusion to the economy of Bangladesh: An exploratory Study
Authors: Hasan Fokhrul
Published: February 2024

In recent years, Mobile Financial Services (MFSs) and financial inclusion have been one of the most discussed issues in Bangladesh as well as all over the world especially in developing countries. People now doing their banking needs by using their mobile phone from anywhere any time. Bangladesh like many other countries, is being going through the transitional period of cashless country. Payments in all sectors like education, commerce, health care, household, utilities, agriculture, etc. through mobile phones has tremendously increased in recent years. Mobile financial services have been colouring the lives of poor, particularly underserved, unbanked, under banked people in several ways - starting from sending money and ending to receiving the money sittin-g at home- which save time and in terms save money contributing to the development of the economy. Financial inclusion is most important element to develop any economy especially for Bangladesh. Bangladesh has shown immense potential for financial inclusion through Mobile Financial Services. This study unravels the trends of mobile financial services for financial inclusion of the people of Bangladesh. This study also reveals the growth of Mobile Financial Service (MFS) providers in Bangladesh.In recent years, Mobile Financial Services (MFSs) and financial inclusion have been one of the most discussed issues in Bangladesh as well as all over the world especially in developing countries.

Published: February 2024

La Justicia Constitucional es indudablemente una figura clave del sistema legal nicaragüense. La búsqueda de su origen constituye una oportunidad para conocer los avances en una materia que está en constante desarrollo, misma que garantiza un verdadero equilibrio de los poderes; por este motivo, el presente artículo se enfoca en ubicar los aspectos generales desde el origen de la misma, así como los elementos esenciales que han formado parte de su evolución y que la integran, abordando el marco Constitucional del sistema nicaragüense de control como la garantía constitucional que protege la supremacía de la Carta Magna. Es la misma Constitución como norma jerárquica superior la que indica el camino para el control de los actos del poder público, que se llevan a cabo mediante el control difuso o concentrado y que en el caso de Nicaragua es una combinación entre ambos. Los aportes innovadores de la actual Ley 983, “Ley de Justicia Constitucional”, que protege los derechos y garantías de los nicaragüenses, tanto los derechos individuales, así como los derechos sociales y políticos contenidas en la Constitución Política. El presente artículo de investigación contiene un análisis sobre la problemática que se generaba en Nicaragua por no tener un solo cuerpo normativo de los instrumentos de protección jurisdiccional de la Constitución y la necesidad de que los mismos se agruparan. Se utiliza el método dialectico y de investigación documental, a este efecto se estudió la Constitución Política y la legislación nacional, así como la legislación y doctrina internacional, todo ello en lo relativo a la Justicia Constitucional.
Poder político y neocolonialismo de las vacunas: el ejercicio de la palabra y el acto humano
Authors: Vargas-Machado Camilo , Cazzato-Dávila Salvador , Vargas-Sepúlveda Claudia
Published: February 2024

En el presente trabajo se analiza la situación generada por la distribución desigual de vacunas que a nivel internacional se ha presentado en el marco de la epidemia generada por la COVID-19. Para ello se utilizan los conceptos de «acto» y «palabra» derivados de las tesis teórico-políticas de Hannah Arendt (1993), con lo que se buscó evidenciar la situación de neocolonialismo de las vacunas derivada de esta situación, desde la deconstrucción filosófica para plantear la impostergable consecuente del neocolonialismo de la salud, que permitió inferir cómo los Derechos Humanos no son el eje central de los discursos ni de las praxis nacionales y estatales de los sistemas de gobiernos de países con economías más estables y fuertes, ya que las decisiones y conductas reflejan los intereses de los actores principales de los Estados Nacionales que tienen respaldo económico para la compra a gran escala de vacunas contra el COVID-19. Los cuales a su vez son los protagonistas de un fenómeno sociopolítico que puede ser categorizado como neocolonialismo global de la salud, que se presenta como un fenómeno del neocolonialismo que da inicio con los acuerdos de confidencialidad firmados entre los estados de los países y las corporaciones farmacéuticas, dentro o fuera de COVAX en el año 2020. Concluyendo que la compra masiva de vacunas fuese sometida a un carácter de exclusividad para adquirir los lotes, donde se revela algunos factores de discriminación o de no incluión, afirmando que COVAX no cumplió con el fin para lo que fue creado inicialmente.
