Optimized wind power prediction and energy storage scheduling using genetic algorithm and backpropagation neural network
Authors: Wu Peng , Li Zongze
Published: December 2024

As renewable energy continues to rise in the global energy mix, wind energy is gradually increasing its share in the power system as a clean, renewable form of energy. However, the volatility and uncertainty of wind power bring new challenges to power system operation, making the need for its efficient prediction and intelligent dispatch more and more urgent. Based on this, a method combining genetic algorithm and backpropagation neural network is proposed for wind power prediction and energy storage scheduling. In this study, the improved genetic algorithm-backpropagation algorithm was generated by optimizing the weights and thresholds of the backpropagation neural network through the genetic algorithm, and optimizing the crossover and mutation processes of the genetic algorithm using similar block-order single-point crossover operator and shift mutation operator. Moreover, the improved genetic algorithm-backpropagation Neural Network wind energy prediction model was successfully constructed. Subsequently, the improved genetic algorithm was applied to search for the parameters of support vector machine and an improved genetic algorithm-support vector machine photovoltaic power generation prediction model was established. The experimental results showed that the average absolute percentage error of the improved genetic algorithm backpropagation neural network algorithm was 2.4%, and the accuracy was significantly higher than that of the traditional backpropagation neural network algorithm. The maximum photovoltaic prediction error of the autoregressive integral moving average model was about 80MW, while the photovoltaic prediction error of the improved genetic algorithm support vector machine photovoltaic prediction model was only about 12kW. In addition, the average absolute percentage error of the improved genetic algorithm support vector machine photovoltaic prediction model was only 1.53%, which was only 0.2% higher than the support vector machine prediction model. This study not only improves the stability of the power grid but also provides a practical and feasible method for realizing the large-scale application of clean energy, making a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the energy industry.

Published: December 2024

La investigación en torno a la sostenibilidaddel turismo normalmente se ha interesado por analizar susrepercusiones ambientales y económicas, quedando relegadasa un segundo plano, y a menudo obviadas, las dimensionessociales. Sin embargo, la expansión de la actividad turística yel aumento de su influencia en multitud de ámbitos obligan a redefinir los marcos conceptuales y las propuestas analíticas dirigidas a evaluar su desarrollo. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar las dimensiones de la sostenibilidad social del turismo, con el fin de avanzar en estrategias operativas destinadas a su medición. Con esa intención, y orientados por los conceptos clave presentes en la literatura especializada, se seleccionan 85 experiencias prácticas. Su revisión desemboca en la elaboración de cuatro dimensiones: «calidad de vida», «organización político-social y gobernanza», «identidad local» y «derechos y justicia social». Finalmente, la presentación y discusión crítica de este modelo cuestionan la viabilidad del enfoque sugerido, concluyendo con algunas ideas acerca del mejor modo de reorientar la perspectiva epistemológica.

El turismo arcoíris como indicador de sostenibilidad social en destino:
Authors: Corbisiero Fabio , Freire Varela Antón
Published: December 2024

En los últimos años, el turismo LGBTQIA+ ha pasado de ser considerado como un turismo de nicho, practicado por un limitado número de personas en un concreto y reducido espacio territorial, a convertirse en uno de los activos de mayor importancia para numerosos destinos, desde pequeñas localidades costeras a grandes metrópolis. Las personas LGBTQIA+ se encuentran entre los grupos sociales cuyo disfrute del turismo y de las experiencias de viaje sigue estando limitado debido a la heteronormatividad, a las estructuras sociales binarias y a la homofobia.Así pues, el grado de aceptación del destino al turismo y a los turistas LGBTQI+ puede ser considerado un interesante indicadorde sostenibilidad social del turismo. En este artículo, a partir del “modelo de destino arcoíris sostenible” de Corbisiero y Monaco (2022), se pretende examinar la sostenibilidad en clave queer de dos destinos urbanos del contexto mediterráneo, Nápoles (Italia) y Valencia (España), analizando diferentes dimensiones como el marco socio-normativo, la promoción de los destinos o el grado de aceptación social. Para ello ha sido llevada a cabo una investigación empírica para mejorar ese modelo y permitir una comparación entre ciudades.

Authors: Paton Amanda , Parsons Victoria , Adamson Kim , Pitts Claudia , Bromfield Leah , Horch Gina
Published: December 2024

More than one in three females and almost one in five males will experience child sexual abuse in Australia. Despite a recognised need to strive for consistent, safe and effective services that respond to child sexual abuse, there are currently no agreed minimum practice standards to guide services and victim–survivors to make informed choices about responses they provide or receive. The aim of this program was to develop Minimum Practice Standards for Specialist and Community Support Services Responding to Child Sexual Abuse (the Standards) that were evidence informed and accepted by the sector, victim–survivors and government. The design of the Standards utilised an evidence-informed mixed-methods approach and included a literature review, multiple rounds of consultation and validation and final government endorsement. This included parallel streams of focus groups, expert advisory discussions, validation processes and surveys, and consolidation of written feedback. Consultation across the community support and specialist child sexual abuse sector included: those with a lived experience; key stakeholders from the community services sector; key stakeholders – government, peak bodies, advisory groups and other interested parties; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; and academic, practice and policy experts. Through multiple cycles of iterative consultations, revisions and validation, the Standards achieved a high level of consistency and consensus on acceptability measures and received full government endorsement. The findings suggest that there will be challenges with implementing these Standards but this also reflects that change is needed across the community support and specialist child sexual abuse sector to ensure minimum standards of safe and effective care for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse. The Standards provide an important tool for critical service-, organisation- and systems-level change to occur.

Published: December 2024

Plant-based systems for producing recombinant proteins, including therapeutic proteins like interleukins, have gained considerable interest due to their affordability, scalability, and lower risk of contamination with human pathogens. Nicotiana benthamiana and Nicotiana tabacum, both widely used as model plants in molecular farming, have emerged as promising platforms for the production of interleukins - cytokines that play vital roles in immune regulation. The production of interleukins in plants, particularly in N.benthamiana and N.tabacum, has emerged as a promising strategy for synthesizing these essential cytokines, which are crucial for both research and therapeutic applications. While interleukins are traditionally produced using mammalian expression systems, plant-based platforms offer a cost-effective and scalable alternative. This review focuses on the key environmental factors influencing interleukin production in N.benthamiana and N.tabacum, specifically examining the effects of light, temperature, humidity, soil composition, and nutrient availability. We discuss how specific conditions, including controlled lighting regimes and temperature optimization, can significantly enhance yield and protein quality. The roles of abiotic stresses are also evaluated, as stress responses can either positively or negatively influence protein expression and folding. Additionally, the review addresses advanced techniques for optimizing expression levels, such as genetic modifications, the use of specific promoters, and the application of plant growth regulators. These strategies are discussed in the context of their ability to enhance the accumulation of interleukins in N.benthamiana and N.tabacum, improving both the quantity and functionality of the produced cytokines. By integrating knowledge from studies on environmental manipulation, genetic optimization, and plant physiology, this review provides insights into how best to tailor growing conditions in molecular farming. Such optimizations can make plant-based platforms more efficient, reliable, and commercially viable for producing biologically active interleukins, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional mammalian cell-based systems for pharmaceutical protein production.

The structural organization and mechanisms of the photosynthetic apparatus in non-foliar organs remain poorly understood. This is particularly due to the lack of a reliable methodological foundation for an adequate and accurate assessment of the activity of photosynthetic processes in non-leaf chlorenchyma tissues, specifically due to the lack of knowledge regarding the susceptibility of the components of photosynthetic complexes to various environmental factors, including those encountered during the experimental procedure. This article examines the impact of different manipulation techniques applied during the experimental procedure on the activity of photosystem II (PSII) in grapevines of varying ages. The data obtained indicate a potential high sensitivity of the photosynthetic apparatus in chlorenchyma tissues of young vines to oxidative stress, which must necessarily be taken into account in analyses of vine chlorenchyma tissues accompanied by the removal of the outer layer of dead cells.
Development of a single-leaflet graft inoculation method and a nested PCR assay for monitoring tomato chlorosis virus infection in tomato
Authors:   Bioadaptation Laboratory, Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnologies, Ministry of Science and Education of the Azerbaijan Republic, Mirzayeva Samra
Published: December 2024

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV), a member of the Crinivirus genus, has caused an epidemic disease that affects tomato production worldwide including Azerbaijan. The whitefly-transmitted ToCV is a phloem-limited virus and Bemisia tabaci plays a crucial role in ToCV transmission. In this study, experimental propagation of ToCV has been performed primarily by using the single-leaflet grafting inoculation method. To develop a simple and effective method for transmission of ToCV, we investigated grafting single-leaflets from tomato plants infected with ToCV to recipient tomato seedlings. Total RNA was isolated from leaf samples of ToCV-inoculated and mock-inoculated plants before the inoculation and 1-60 days post-inoculation (dpi). The presence of ToCV was determined from all virus-inoculated or mock-inoculated (control) plants by nested PCR. After 15 dpi, ToCV was detected in 18-25% of graft-inoculated plants. The infection rate then increased progressively and reached 30-65% by 30 dpi and finally, 75-80% by 60 dpi. In total, fifty (50) tomato seedlings were tested and forty-five (45) were grafted successfully with single-leaflets infected with ToCV. In this study, we showed that single-leaflet grafting could provide a sufficient amount of inoculum for the transmission of ToCV to the grafted tomato seedlings. The results manifested that single-leaflet grafting is a simple and efficient method for experimental inoculation of ToCV and can be used as an alternative and/or complementary to vector transmission in laboratories. The single-leaflet grafting could be combined with nested PCR and used for monitoring of ToCV or other phloem-limited viruses in tomatoes also in other plants.

Authors:   Scientific Research Institute of Fruit and Tea Growing, Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Suleymanova Sevil
Published: December 2024

The article presents the results of laboratory studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrient media with different hormonal compositions in the process of initiation and micropropagation in the in vitro culture of clonal rootstocks MaxMa 14, Myrobalan 29C, GF 677, Garnem 15 and OHF 87. In the study, the effectiveness of nutrient media with different concentrations and combinations of phytohormones was studied step by step. It was found that the modified media made it possible to obtain a relatively high result at the stage of micropropagation. Thus, the maximum reproduction coefficient of microcuttings of rootstocks according to the variants of nutrient media was 5.82-6.27. The modified composition of nutrient media significantly increased the multiplication coefficient of microcuttings of rootstocks of fruit crops at the stage of micropropagation, which, of course, will have a positive result on the outcome of the entire process of micropropagation of these rootstocks in the in vitro culture.
Can Government Expenditure and Investment Drive Poverty Alleviation in Aceh Through Economic Growth?
Authors: Inayati Inayati , Jamal Abd. , Nasir Muhammad
Published: December 2024

Poverty continues to be a significant challenge in economic development, attracting widespread attention globally. In response, various initiatives are being implemented to reduce poverty. This study explores the indirect effects of investment and government expenditure on poverty alleviation through economic growth in Aceh Province. Utilizing quantitative methods, including path analysis and multiple panel regression models, and drawing on data from 23 districts and cities in Aceh, the findings reveal that both investment and government expenditure have direct, positive, and statistically significant effects on economic growth. However, these variables do not have a direct impact on poverty levels. Specifically, government expenditure is negatively and significantly correlated with poverty, while investment shows a negative but statistically insignificant relationship. Economic growth itself also has a positive, yet statistically insignificant, relationship with poverty. Additionally, the analysis shows that economic growth does not mediate the effect of investment and government expenditure on poverty in Aceh. These results highlight that achieving high growth rates and large investment volumes alone is insufficient. It is essential to focus on the quality of growth, emphasizing the creation of a multiplier effect, fostering inclusive investment, improving infrastructure, and investing in human capital. Such efforts can ensure that economic growth effectively contributes to poverty reduction.

Authors: Geubrina Yulia , Aliasuddin Aliasuddin , Abrar Muhammad , Masbar Raja , Saputra Jumadil
Published: December 2024

Sustainable development has emerged as a critical global concern, particularly in the context of energy consumption and environmental quality. In Southeast Asia, the heavy reliance on fossil fuels, especially oil, poses significant challenges to achieving sustainability goals. This study investigates the impact of renewable energy consumption, natural resource rents, and economic globalization on the Sustainable Development Index (SDI). Using panel data from five ASEAN countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines—from 2000 to 2020, the analysis applies panel quantile regression to explore the relationships among the variables. The findings reveal that renewable energy consumption and economic globalization contribute positively to the Sustainable Development Index, whereas natural resource rents exhibit a negative impact. A distinctive aspect of this research is its use of the Sustainable Development Index as a metric, offering a novel approach not extensively employed in prior studies. The insights derived from this study can inform the development of policies promoting sustainable development, particularly through adopting renewable energy and managing economic globalization. Additionally, the findings underscore the need to address the adverse effects of natural resource exploitation to enhance regional sustainability outcomes.
Examining the Causal Relationship between Inflation and Unemployment in Indonesia
Authors: Angga Binanga , Aliasuddin Aliasuddin , Abrar Muhammad , Masbar Raja , Saputra Jumadil
Published: December 2024

Inflation and unemployment are significant challenges faced by both developing and developed countries. This study analyzes the causal relationship between inflation, as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Deflator, and open unemployment in Indonesia. Using a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) panel model, the analysis is based on panel data from 34 provinces from the first semester of 2015 to the second semester of 2022. The results of statistical tests indicate a unidirectional causality, with inflation Granger-causing unemployment, but not vice versa. This finding is further supported by the Vector Autoregression estimates, where Lag 4 reveals that unemployment is primarily influenced by inflation, while inflation remains unaffected by unemployment. To address the issue of unemployment, policymakers should prioritize controlling inflation and keeping it within manageable limits, as reducing inflation could contribute to improved unemployment rates. Future research should explore the relationship between inflation and unemployment through qualitative interviews with individuals who have experienced both issues to understand their daily impacts better.
From Nuts to Bag: Peanuts (Arachis Hypogea) Shells as Sustainable Alternative Source in Making Eco-friendly Paper Bags
Authors: Jaisha A Angat Lorraine , Paul A Boquiron John , Eallaine J Lumico , Justin B Gubi , Louis G Lazaro Bryan
Published: December 2024

This study explored the potential of peanut shells (Arachis hypogea) as a sustainable material for eco-friendly paper bag production, addressing the environmental issues tied to traditional plastic and wood pulp-based bags. Using a quasi-experimental approach, 6 kg of peanut shells were processed into pulp and tested for strength, tear resistance, stiffness, durability, and biodegradability. The results showed that peanut shell-based paper bags were biodegradable, cost-effective, and suitable for carrying light to moderate loads. An optimal composition of 75% peanut shells was determined, balancing tensile strength, solubility, and biodegradability. The production process included collecting, cleaning, pulping, and papermaking, offering opportunities for further refinement. Although peanut shell paper bags were less robust than wood pulp alternatives, they provided substantial environmental benefits, such as reducing landfill waste and decreasing reliance on non-renewable resources. This study highlighted peanut shells as a promising sustainable alternative for the packaging industry, combining functionality with environmental responsibility. By repurposing agricultural waste, these paper bags contribute to waste reduction and sustainability goals. Further research and industry adoption are recommended to enhance the performance and scalability of peanut shell-based packaging, supporting both community needs and global efforts for environmental conservation.
POLITICAL OBLIGATION WITHOUT COMPREHENSIVENESS
Authors:   Lynchburg University, FRANK NICOLAS
Published: December 2024

Philosophical anarchists deny state legitimacy because they reject traditional accounts of political obligation and any possible alternatives. Their arguments have been powerful enough to create a vacuum where a presumption of a far-reaching moral requirement to obey the state once resided. Many “statists” have attempted to rework traditional bases for political obligation, uncover neglected ones, or create new ones altogether. Of these, defenders of a “weak” legitimacy might agree with philosophical anarchists that there is no political obligation, but deny that legitimacy without political obligation is conceptually or morally problematic. Thus, they may agree with statists that there are, in fact, legitimate states while agreeing with philosophical anarchist that legitimate states do not have a right to our obedience. But there is still a puzzle before us left by centuries of work associating the legitimacy of the state with its right to our obedience. Surely there is something important enough about the state’s right to impose and enforce law that entails some obligation in us to obey it, right? One possible solution to this puzzle is to hold “strong” legitimacy, such that political obligation is a necessary condition for it, together with “weak” political obligation, such that our requirements to obey are limited or attenuated in a principled fashion. I attempt to sketch such a possibility below. I do this by rejecting a basic assumption held by anarchists and statists in discussions of political obligation and legitimacy.

DOES THE MEANING OF LYING POSE A PROBLEM TO PINOCCHIO’S PARADOX?
Authors:   University of Bucharest, GAȚE MARIA-FLORIANA
Published: December 2024

In this paper I sketch two solutions to Pinocchio’s Paradox, mainly by resorting to the concept of lying, as it is conceived by Augustine in his “De mendacio”. I will argue that the paradox is based on a slightly narrow conception of what it means to lie, as it confuses the meaning of lying with the meaning of falsity from the correspondence theory of truth. Furthermore, I will claim that the problems that I have highlighted are sufficient conditions to block the entire paradox and, therefore, to show that the argument that supposedly leads to a contradiction is actually fallacious.
The Impact of Dirty and Clean Energy Consumption on Carbon Emissions in Azerbaijan
Authors: Musayev Gunduz
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of dirty (gas, oil) and clean (renewable) energy consumption on CO emissions in Azerbaijan. Utilizing annual data from 1985 to 2022, the analysis examines the 2 stationarity of the variables using ADF, Flexible Fourier ADF, and Fractional Flexible Fourier ADF unit root tests, finding that all variables are stationary at the first difference. To explore the cointegration relationships among the variables, the Bayer-Hanck combined cointegration test is employed. Three econometric models are established, revealing a long-run equilibrium relationship solely between renewable energy consumption and carbon emissions (CO ). According to the long-run estimation re- 2 sults from FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR methods, renewable energy consumption negatively impacts carbon emissions in Azerbaijan, with a 1% increase in renewable energy consumption leading to a 0.60% decrease in carbon emissions. Additionally, the Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality test uncovers a unidirectional causality from gas consumption to carbon emissions in Azerbaijan. The study concludes with policy recommendations for Azerbaijan to effectively manage and reduce carbon emissions
The Impact of Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Consumption on CO Emissions in Türkiye: Evidence from Augmented ARDL Approach
Authors: Huseynov Adil , Gezdim Seyhat Bayrak
Published: December 2024

The increase in CO2 emissions, recognized as a global problem, is significantly influenced by energy consumption. Türkiye, which is among the developing countries, is a country dependent on foreign sources to meet its energy needs. Nevertheless, it satisfies its energy requirements through both renewable and non-renewable sources. The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the impact of consumption from renewable and non-renewable energy sources in Türkiye between 1990 and 2020 on CO2 emissions and investigate the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. We apply the traditional and structural break unit root tests to check whether the variables are stationary. We employed the newly accepted Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method to estimate the long-run relationship between variables. According to the findings, there is a U-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions. It means that the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis is not applicable in Türkiye. Moreover, it concluded that non-renewable energy consumption plays a role in emission increase, while renewable energy consumption is effective in emission reduction.
How Are Energy-Related R&D Investments Effective on Environment-Related Patents? Empirical Evidence from the USA and Canada
Authors: Taşkın Dilvin , Depren Serpil Kılıç , Ayhan Fatih
Published: December 2024

All related economic actors have been interested in combating climate change as consistent with developing interest in environmental issues. In this context, R&D investment funds can be highly beneficial in developing environmental patents, which may have a key role in solving environmental problems. Accordingly, the study analyzes the marginal effect of sub-types of R&D investments on environment-related patents by focusing on the USA and Canada as the leading R&D investing countries, using data between 1990 and 2021, and adopting a kernel-based regularized least squares (KRLS) model. The results show that on the patents (i) R&D investments in cross-cutting technologies/research, nuclear, and renewable have a stimulating effect in the USA; (ii) R&D
investments in renewable support the increase in Canada; (iii) in both USA and Canada, R&D investments in fossil fuels have a decreasing effect, whereas R&D investments in energy efficiency have no significant effect; (iv) Among all, R&D investments in cross cutting technologies/research (renewable) have the highest increasing effect on the patents in USA (Canada); (v) marginal effect of the sub-types of R&D investments on the patents varies across factors, countries, and percentiles; (vi) the KRLS model has a high prediction performance, reaching ~97.1%. Overall, the study emphasizes the average and pointwise marginal effects of R&D investments on the patents, which imply that R&D investments should be re-distributed by considering their effects on the patents so that a successful policy on environmental patents can be designed by benefitting energy-related R&D investments.

Published: December 2024

La educación es uno de los derechos humanos más importantes con alta connotación social. Una de las más recientes etapas es la transición gradual de modelos educativos presenciales hacia mode­los educativos basados en el uso de las TIC, entre ellos el conocido como aula invertida. La presente investigación se realizó con el objetivo de elaborar una metodología basada en el aula invertida para potenciar el aprendizaje significativo, desde las perspectivas epistemológica y axiológica, en la materia ciencias naturales del nivel de Educación General Básica para estudiantes de 7mo grado, agrupados en dos paralelos de la Unidad educativa Cerit, ubicada en la provincia de Cotopaxi, cantón, Latacunga. Se utilizó la metodología mixta combinando los enfoques cuantitativo y cualitativo, con un diseño cuasi-experimental con un grupo experimental y otro de control, para analizar el efecto de la metodología del aula invertida que se propone, en el aprendizaje significativo de los estudiantes. Se demostró la eficacia de la metodología propuesta para potenciar el aprendizaje significativo y las teorías constructivistas del aprendizaje, a través de la inversión de los roles tradicionales del docente y los estudiantes, y la propuesta de formas diferentes para guiar la clase, contando con la participación activa y reflexiva de los estudiantes. Dicha metodología es flexible y generalizable, por lo que puede ser adaptada en cada unidad educativa, en incluso por cada docente según las necesidades del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales.

Enhancing Students' Mathematical Critical Thinking Skills through a GeoGebra Integrated Project-Based Learning Model
Authors: Setyawan Dedy , Anas Aswar , Nasir Muhajir , Fadly Dewiyanti
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the efficacy of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) paradigm integrated with GeoGebra in fostering students' critical thinking skills in mathematics. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, two groups were compared: the experimental group received instruction via the GeoGebra-integrated PjBL model, while the control group followed a traditional explanatory approach. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments of mathematical critical thinking skills. Statistical analyses, including an independent samples t-test, revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05, significance value 0.000). The N-Gain test categorized the intervention as "quite effective." These findings demonstrate that the GeoGebra-integrated PjBL model substantially enhances students' mathematical critical thinking abilities compared to conventional teaching methods. This study highlights the pedagogical implications for mathematics education, advocating for broader implementation of innovative teaching strategies that integrate digital tools.
