Negro sobre blanco. La explotación de pingüinos y cormoranes en la Patagonia Austral durante el Holoceno
Authors: Cruz Isabel , Ercolano Bettina
Published: January 2024

Los pingüinos (Spheniscidae) y los cormoranes (Phalacrocoracidae) son aves emblemáticas de la Patagonia Austral que aparecen recurrentemente representadas en los registros arqueológicos de la región. El objetivo de este trabajo es considerar la evidencia zooarqueológica para explorar si existen diferencias en las interacciones de estas aves con los cazadores humanos del Holoceno y las posibles causas de las mismas. Para abordar este objetivo se compiló la información publicada para las provincias de Santa Cruz (Argentina) y de Magallanes (Chile), seleccionando aquellos conjuntos zooarqueológicos que presentan un análisis detallado de los restos de estas aves. Se pudo establecer que, al menos en algunos momentos o bajo ciertas condiciones, los cormoranes fueron presas importantes y confiables cuando las poblaciones humanas se encontraban en la costa. En cambio, los pingüinos nunca fueron presas de una jerarquía similar, aunque su mayor tamaño corporal habría permitido un mayor rendimiento económico. Las diferencias tecnológicas entre las poblaciones de la costa atlántica y las del estrecho de Magallanes y senos de Otway/Skyring, así como las variaciones en la disponibilidad de cormoranes y pingüinos a lo largo del Holoceno, permiten explicar estas diferencias en el patrón arqueológico detectado.

Published: January 2024

Los restos de malacofauna que se estudian en este artículo proceden de la villa romana de Pla de Palol, construida a escasos metros de la playa de n’Artigues (Castell-Platja d’Aro, Baix Empordà). La primera fase de este establecimiento se puede remontar a la primera mitad del siglo I a.C. A lo largo de su existencia la villa fue objeto de diversas reformas hasta que a finales del sigloV fue abandonada. En la totalidad de los casos, los restos de moluscos se encontraron entre estratos de nivelación del terreno, derrumbes, abandono o relleno de fosas de naturaleza diversa, todos ellos en posición secundaria en relación a su uso principal y espacio original. De las excavaciones arqueológicas de finales del siglo XX proceden los 901 restos de moluscos que se estudian en este trabajo. Se han encontrado 23 especies diferentes, destacando como especie más abundante la ostra Ostrea edulis y en segundo lugar la lapa Patella ferruginea. Ambas especies eran seguramente objeto de consumo, recolectadas manualmente. Otras especies objeto de consumo serían los gasterópodos murícidos (Hexaplex trunculus y Bolinus brandaris), recolectados con trampas, usando cebos como Phorcus turbinatus, Cerithium vulgatum o Cerastoderma edule (todas ellas presentes en la muestra). Los bivalvos Spondylus gaederopus y Glycymeris bimaculata también tienen una presencia remarcable. En conjunto, el tipo de especies más abundantes estarían asociadas a fondos rocosos, detríticos y arenas de grosor medio, pero no a arenas finas o fangosas, lo que parece indicar que la actividad pesquera de arrastre era nula en este asentamiento. Así, las conchas del resto de especies es más probable que fueran recogidas como restos varados en las playas.
Comparación de dos sistemas de registros zooarqueológicos rápidos y sus resultados interpretativos a través de la Presencialidad Multivariable. Ventajas e inconvenientes
Authors: Beltrán Ruiz Alejandro , Arenas Gallego Laura María
Published: January 2024

En el presente trabajo se realiza la comparación de dos métodos de procesado rápido del registro taxonómico con un tercero más exhaustivo y lento para comprobar hasta qué punto puede ser adecuado su utilización a falta de tiempo. Los resultados realizados sobre una muestra del yacimiento de la Motilla del Azuer perteneciente a la edad del Bronce manchego, apuntan a que existen variaciones según la metodología aplicada y que el tamaño de las especies y de sus restos forman parte intrínseca de dicha variación. También se incluye la Presencialidad Multivariable (PMV) como herramienta para minimizar las sobrerrepresentaciones que pueden generar parámetros básicos como: Número de Restos Determinados o Number of Individual Specimen, Número Mínimo de individuos y el Peso cuando basamos la interpretación en solo uno de estos de forma aislada.

Authors: Vásquez Sánchez Víctor F. , Rosales Tham Teresa E.
Published: January 2024

La cultura Moche que alcanzó un alto desarrollo tecnológico en cerámica, metalurgia, textilería, agricultura, también tiene evidencias de crianza local de rebaños de camélidos. Los restos óseos de los camélidos se hallan diseminados en todos los sitios mochica de la costa norte, escenario donde florecieron los mochica. El análisis zooarqueológico y en especial el osteométricode primeras falanges de seis sitios mochica: Sipán, Cerro Chepén, Huaca Colorada. Huaca del Sol, Huaca de la Luna y Guadalupito, permiten rescatar la identidad de los camélidos que habitaron estos sitios entre 650 a 700 años d.C., lo cual esta basada en la medición de 624 primeras falanges, que arrojan la presencia de dos tipos de camélidos domésticos, uno grande y otro pequeño, además de un grupo intermedio que tiene gradientes de tamaños superpuestos entre el grande y pequeño camélido. La eficiencia de la osteometría con esta muestra es de 51.9% para la identificación de ambos grupos, siendo un 48.1% para los indeterminados, lo cual puede tener una explicación en los modelos zoológicos clinales de los mamíferos domésticos cuando son sometidos a cambios de ecología desde su origen histórico.

Authors: Day-Lewis Megan , Berbert Laura , Baker Annette , Dionne Audrey , Newburger Jane W. , Son Mary Beth F.
Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVES

A broad, surveillance case definition was implemented when multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) emerged in 2020. In 2023, a revised MIS-C case definition was constructed to improve specificity and reduce misclassification with other pediatric inflammatory conditions. This study aims to describe the impact of the updated definition on the classification of patients with MIS-C and Kawasaki Disease (KD).

METHODS

Patients hospitalized from March 2020 to November 2022 with clinician-diagnosed KD and MIS-C at a single center were studied retrospectively. Specificity and positive predictive value were assessed; McNemar test was used to compare specificity.

RESULTS

Among 119 patients with MIS-C per the 2020 definition, 20 (17%) did not fulfill the 2023 definition. Six of these 20 (30%) had shock or cardiac involvement. Of 59 KD patients, 10 (17%) met the 2020 MIS-C definition. Five patients (8%) met the 2023 MIS-C definition. Specificity for the 2020 and 2023 MIS-C definitions among KD patients were 83.1% and 91.5% respectively (McNemar, P = .0736). Positive predictive value was higher for the 2023 MIS-C case definition compared with the 2020 MIS-C case definition (95.2% vs 92.2%).

CONCLUSIONS

Approximately 1 in 5 patients diagnosed with MIS-C using the 2020 case definition did not meet the 2023 definition, including patients with cardiovascular dysfunction. Overlap persisted between patients meeting KD and 2023 MIS-C case definitions, with a false positive rate of 8%. Implications for treatment should be considered, particularly in settings where presumed MIS-C may be treated with corticosteroid monotherapy.

Authors: Nabarrete Bastos Pablo
Published: January 2024

A noção de engajamento com o comum pavimenta e sinaliza o caminho epistemológico e político, que pode viabilizar a comunicação entre diferentes formas de luta com potencial contra-hegemônico na disputa contra a hegemonia do capital, o comum capitalista. Este ensaio possui como principal objetivo desenvolver reflexão epistemológica, discussão política e fundamentação teórica para categorizar o comum. A partir desse objetivo central, propomos e desenvolvemos quatro níveis ou subcategorias do comum, que implicam as disputas por hegemonia: o comum natural, o comum do conhecimento, o comum cultural e o comum político. O nível econômico e de classe, determinante em última instância, atravessa o conceito em seus diferentes níveis de compreensão e existência. Metodologicamente, o estudo possui centralidade na teoria crítica, realiza pesquisa bibliográfica e utiliza o método materialista dialético. A forma ensaio caracteriza o método de escrita.
Percepção de risco e engajamento nas redes sociais
Authors: Massarani Luisa , Waltz Igor , Medeiros Amanda
Published: January 2024

Neste artigo, partimos da hipótese de que a pandemia da COVID-19 tem transformado o debate público sobre a vacinação nas mídias sociais. Na atual configuração da “Sociedade de Risco” (Beck, 1992), a gestão dos riscos se torna um componente central da vida cotidiana, influenciando os modos como o público acessa e interage com informações relacionadas à saúde em espaços midiáticos. Diante desse cenário, buscamos verificar se o avanço da cobertura vacinal contra o coronavírus e os resultados positivos obtidos no enfrentamento da pandemia ao longo do segundo ano da crise refletiram na natureza das informações circulantes sobre vacinas. Sob esse pano de fundo, nosso objetivo foi identificar mudanças e continuidades dos conteúdos que pautam esse debate no contexto brasileiro. Com este fim, analisamos os 100 links com mais engajamento durante o segundo ano da pandemia (2021), comparando-os quantitativamente com o primeiro ano (2020) e com o período que antecedeu a crise sanitária (2018-2019). Nossa metodologia é inspirada na Análise de Conteúdo e estruturada a partir de cinco categorias: engajamento, tema, acurácia, posicionamento e cálculo de risco. Dentre os principais resultados alcançados, observamos no corpus uma redução de conteúdos desinformativos, que pode estar diretamente ligada ao fato de que, diante da eficácia dos imunizantes, as vacinas terem deixado de ser tema prioritário nas disputas de sentido presentes no debate público. Além disso, identificamos uma queda acentuada no engajamento total acerca do assunto em 2021.

Published: January 2024

This experiment investigated the effects of varying crude protein levels (CPL) supplemented with or without Turmeric Rhizome Powder (TRP) on laying performance and egg quality of Japanese quails. A total of one hundred and ninety two 10-weeks-old laying Japanese quails were randomly distributed into six dietary treatment groups (3 x 2 experimental arrangement) with four replicates per group (8 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design.
Dietary treatments were: A (24%CP), B (21%CP), C (18%CP) without TRP while D, E and F contains 24%CP+0.5%TRP, 21%CP + 0.5%TRP and 18%CP + 0.5%TRP, respectively. Data were taken on productive performance, egg quality and egg proportions for 10 weeks. The main effect showed that quails on 24 and 21% CPL diet had elevated (P<0.05) hen egg day production (HDP). Feeding of quails with 18% CPL diet resulted in increased (P<0.05) feed cost /kg egg and revenue was higher (P<0.05) with the use of 21 and 24% CPL diet. The main effect shows that turmeric supplementation enhanced (P<0.05) yolk colour. The interactive effect showed that quails fed diets containing 24 and 21% CPL with or without TRP supplementation had increased (P<0.05) HDP. Feed cost/kg egg increased (P<0.05) for quails fed diet with 18% CPL diet with or without TRP supplementation. The revenue increased for quails fed 21% CPL diet with TRP supplementation. The feeding of diets containing 21 and 18% CPL with TRP supplementation resulted in enhanced (P<0.05) yolk colour (4.36 and 4.43) respectively. Egg proportions were not influenced (P>0.05) by CPL or TPL. It was concluded that TRP supplementation influenced HDP, increased revenue with 21% CPL diet and enhanced egg yolk colour.

Published: January 2024

Jumping motion recognition via video is a significant contribution because it considerably impacts intelligent applications and will be widely adopted in life. This method can be used to train future dancers using innovative technology. Challenging poses will be repeated and improved over time, reducing the strain on the instructor when performing multiple times. Dancers can also be recreated by removing features from their images. To recognize the dancers’ moves, check and correct their poses, and another important aspect is that our model can extract cognitive features for efficient evaluation and classification, and deep learning is currently one of the best ways to do this for short-form video features capabilities. In addition, evaluating the quality of the performance video, the accuracy of each dance step is a complex problem when the eyes of the judges cannot focus 100% on the dance on the stage. Moreover, dance on videos is of great interest to scientists today, as technology is increasingly developing and becoming useful to replace human beings. Based on actual conditions and needs in Vietnam. In this paper, we propose a method to replace manual evaluation, and our approach is used to evaluate dance through short videos. In addition, we conduct dance analysis through short-form videos, thereby applying techniques such as deep learning to assess and collect data from which to draw accurate conclusions. Experiments show that our assessment is relatively accurate when the accuracy and F1-score values are calculated. More than 92.38% accuracy and 91.18% F1-score, respectively. This demonstrates that our method performs well and accurately in dance evaluation analysis.
Graph Attention Network Enhanced Power Allocation for Wireless Cellular System
Authors: Qiushi Sun , Yang He , Petrosian Ovanes
Published: January 2024

The importance of an efficient network resource allocation strategy has grown significantly with the rapid advancement of cellular network technology and the widespread use of mobile devices. Efficient resource allocation is crucial for enhancing user services and optimizing network performance. The primary objective is to optimize the power distribution method to maximize the total aggregate rate for all customers within the network. In recent years, graph-based deep learning approaches have shown great promise in addressing the challenge of network resource allocation. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have particularly excelled in handling graph-structured data, benefiting from the inherent topological characteristics of mobile networks. However, many of these methodologies tend to focus predominantly on node characteristics during the learning phase, occasionally overlooking or oversimplifying the importance of edge attributes, which are equally vital as nodes in network modeling. To tackle this limitation, we introduce a novel framework known as the Heterogeneous Edge Feature Enhanced Graph Attention Network (HEGAT). This framework establishes a direct connection between the evolving network topology and the optimal power distribution strategy throughout the learning process. Our proposed HEGAT approach exhibits improved performance and demonstrates significant generalization capabilities, as evidenced by extensive simulation results.
Undervisning i ett fritidshem för alla?
Authors: Wernholm Marina
Published: January 2024

Syftet med studien är att problematisera fritidshemslärares perspektiv på stöd till elever i fritidshem. Följande frågeställning vägleder studien: Vilka diskurser framträder i lärares tal om undervisning av elever i behov av stöd i fritidshem? Studien utgår från socialkonstruktionistisk teoribildning och använder diskursanalysens metodologi eftersom den möjliggör att undersöka vilka normer och värden som finns invävda i lärares tal, genom att studera hur fritidshemslärare skapar verklighet i fokusgruppsamtal. Studiens foucaultinspirerade analyser avser att öppna upp för reflektion och alternativa sätt att tänka och tala än de som utmärkt sig vara dominerande när det gäller undervisning av elever i behov av särskilt stöd. I analysen identifieras fyra diskurser: talet om värderelationell undervisning, talet om undervisning av elever i behov av särskilt goda relationer, talet om undervisning i en komplex vardag och talet om undervisning av elever i behov av särskilt stöd. I en empirisk modell illustreras hur diskurserna förhåller sig till när fritidshemslärare ger uttryck för att ett värderelationellt förhållningssätt är i förgrund respektive i bakgrund, samt när undervisningen tar utgångspunkt i ett barnperspektiv eller närmar sig barns perspektiv. Fritidshemslärare framträder som nyckelpersoner i arbetet med elever i behov av stöd eftersom de har kunskap om hur elever framträder i olika undervisningskontexter.
Kartläggning av elevers kunskaper och kompetenser på Språkintroduktionsprogrammet
Authors: Wedin Åsa
Published: January 2024

I denna artikel studeras användning av Skolverkets kartläggningsmaterial för nyanlända elever på Språkintroduktionsprogrammet. Studien bygger på innehållsanalys av material i form av kartläggningsdokument, individuella studieplaner (ISP) och betyg från en skola, med användning av det teoretiska begreppet funds of knowledge. Analysen bekräftar tidigare påvisade brister vad gäller kartläggning av elevers kunskaper och kompetenser på Språkintro, liksom låg grad av användning av kartläggningens resultat för planering av enskilda elevers undervisning. I synnerhet saknades tydlig dokumentation vad gäller elever med tidigare kort skolbakgrund och särskilt rörande vardagskunskap. Kopplingen mellan kartläggningsdokument och ISP var svår att utläsa, främst beroende på att kartläggningarna inte var kompletta och inga tydliga skillnader framträdde mellan olika elever när det gäller vilka ämnen och kurser de planerades för. Även dokumentationen genom ISP var bristfällig, bland annat genom att inga uppgifter om enskilda elevers stödbehov fanns. Man kan alltså konstatera att kartläggning och ISP vid denna skola inte spelat avsedd roll för planering av enskilda elevers undervisning. Kartläggning och ISP dokumenterades främst som uppmärksammade elevernas bristande kompetens, i stället för att utgöra viktiga redskap för studieplanering. Studien aktualiserar såväl kunskapsbehov som behov av tydligare riktlinjer och stöd.
Teacher perspectives on the use of augmentative and alternative communication systems for learners with complex communication needs
Authors: Mudau Sondaha Petrus , Nzima Dumisani Russel
Published: January 2024

For learners with complex communication needs (CCN), teachers in special schools are encouraged to use a variety of communication techniques to help them participate in various classroom activities. Studies show limited data on the use of effective augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies in special schools. The primary purpose of this study was to describe teacher perspectives on the use of AAC devices that they use in their classrooms in rural areas. We employed a qualitative methodology that included in-person interviews and focus groups. The focus group and face-to-face sessions each had 3 and 8 participants, respectively. Three main themes, namely modes of communication, training, and challenges and 12 subthemes were identified. We found that teachers employed pictures to improve communication of learners with CCN. We also discovered that since teachers didn’t use speech generating devices (SGD) frequently, they had trouble using them. The use of SGDs, one of the assistive technology tools that could be used to improve communication of learners with CCN, requires extensive teacher training, according to research. Further research is required to establish the efficacy on the use of AAC devices in special schools in rural areas.

Published: January 2024

In this article we report on a study in which we examined the opinions and attitudes of teachers and learners on child rights education in Serbian schools. The participants included teachers and learners of primary schools from 7 municipalities in Serbia. The results show that teachers and learners held similar views on certain issues about child rights in school. Teachers held a positive attitude toward child rights education and recognised the importance of school in this process. They assessed their competency as insufficient, believing that child rights education was not sufficiently realised in schools, and supported training programmes in this area. The results also show teachers’ views and suggestions for different areas of improvement. Learners, on the other hand, regarded teachers as the most responsible factor in child rights education, and their homeroom teachers as the greatest support in the protection of their rights. This study points to the need for a systematic approach to the implementation of child rights education in schools.
Recent advances in magnetic nanomaterials in wastewater treatment: a review
Authors: Deole Sakshi , Pati Sudhanshu Shekhar
Published: January 2024

Considering the scarcity of potable water, the search for an effective and easy purification technology has been of utmost importance. Conventional methods have not been able to match demands, which triggered the search for an advanced method based on nanotechnology that can fulfill the desired conditions. Magnetic nanomaterials are among the top runners owing to their unique ability to respond in the presence of an external magnetic field. Due to their small size, they can be easily functionalized and surface tuned for targeting specific ions and dyes. One of the biggest advantages of these materials is that they can be easily separated posttreatment. This review summarizes the latest developments in the field of magnetic nanomaterials in wastewater treatment.

Authors: Liu Yalong , Xin Binjie , Newton Md All Amin , Li Lifeng , Gao Di
Published: January 2024

An efficient and practical method is proposed for the separation of oil–water mixtures and emulsions in sustainable water ecosystems, facilitating energy recovery. The construction of flexible ceramic fiber membranes with high throughput and self-cleaning capabilities has proven effective but challenging. This study reports a novel approach combining the sol–gel and electrospinning techniques to synthesize flexible silicon dioxide (SiO2)–titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofiber membranes (STNFMs). These membranes possess nanoscale rough structures, granting them superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity (155°). Exploiting the photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide, STNFMs-4 not only demonstrates excellent separation performance but also exhibits remarkable self-cleaning abilities. After 2 h of ultraviolet light irradiation, the membrane flux returns to its original level. STNFMs provide a promising solution for highly efficient separation of oil–water mixtures and emulsions, with the potential to play a significant role in water treatment and resource recovery.

Authors: Mukhin K. Yu. , Pylaeva O. A.
Published: January 2024

Despite significant advances made in epileptology, treatment-resistant epilepsy accounts for approximately 30 % of all forms of this disease. Such diseases include, among others, Lennox–Gastaut syndrome – a classic developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with onset in childhood, characterized by resistance to therapy, severe course and poor prognosis. For patients in this category, the search for new effective antiepileptic drugs remains highly relevant, especially in cases where numerous combinations of antiepileptic drugs do not produce an effect, surgical treatment is impossible, and alternative methods (vagus nerve stimulation and ketogenic diet) are ineffective. The authors present a review of the literature on the modern definition and diagnostic criteria of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome, diagnostic methods and treatment of this form of epilepsy, which has a severe course and a generally unfavorable prognosis.

The kinetics of the oxidation reaction of Lincomycin hydrochloride (Link) with potassium hydrogen peroxomonosulfate (KHSO5) was studied depending on the pH of the medium. It has been established that the reaction kinetics obeys the general laws of specific acid-base catalysis. KHSO5 reacts quantitatively with Link in an alkaline medium to form the corresponding sulfone-N-oxide: 1 mole of Link requires 3 moles of KHSO5. Methods for the oxidimetric determination of Link were developed using KHSO5 as an analytical reagent: a known excess of the reagent is added and after a specified time, its residual amount is determined by iodometry. The possibility of quantitative determination of the main substance in the substance of Link hydrochloride, as well as the determination of Link hydrochloride solution for injection "Lincomycin-Zdorovye" 300 mg/ml in ampoules of 1 ml and capsules of 0.25 g were shown. RSD does not exceed 1.7%.

Moreover, they centered on Tamil literature in order to recognize the cultural heritage and spiritual traditions. The Priest learnt Tamil language and literature with an agenda and no longer out of love or passion or with an intention of contributing to the growth of the language.Tamil Christian Literature refers to the various epic, poems and other literary works based on the ethics, customs and principles of Christian religion. Christians both the catholic and Protestant missionaries have also birthed literary works. Tamil-Christian works have enriched the language and its literature. Thorough the variety and quality of classical Tamil literature, Tamil language is described as the great classical traditions and literatures of the world.In 2004, the government of India declared Tamil language as classical language
Ensemble bat algorithm based on Hyper heuristic approach for solving unconstrained optimization problems
Authors: Khalaf Wakas S.
Published: January 2024

Abstract  Maintaining convergence and diversification in solving optimization is one of the most important challenges facing metaheuristic algorithms in general and the bat algorithm in particular. Many researchers have suggested some improvements to preserve the ability of the algorithm to find good solutions in a timely manner and also to move away as much as possible from landing on the local optimization zone. In this paper, a hyper-heuristic method was proposed to incorporate the behavior of three optimized algorithms from the bat algorithm. The method is based on the distribution of a specific implementation probability for each used algorithm and then updating this probability iteratively according to the results of each algorithm, and then we use random selection to determine the algorithm used in the current iteration. Some nonlinear models proposed in CEC2005 used to compare the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and compare its results with some state-of-the-art algorithms.

Published: January 2024

Medicinal plants are widely used in non-industrialized societies, mainly because they are readily available and cheaper than modern medicines. These herbs that have medicinal quality provide rational means for the treatment of many internal diseases, which are otherwise considered difficult to cure.  This is the reason why medicinal plant related analysis is growing in popularity across the researchers. The prime difficult in this medicinal plant treatment is the identification of those plants. Without any expert, the identification is difficult. The image processing methodologies are the dominant method for solving this kind of problem. This paper is addressing a solution for the medicinal plant identification using deep learning networks. The deep learning algorithm is a class of machine learning algorithms that uses multiple layers to progressively extract higher level features from the raw input. From this approach, different kind of plants can be easily identified and the state-of-art of this approach is the speed of operation and precision in identification. The proposed approach is implemented on both dataset as well as experimental images
Optimal Allocation and Control of EV Energy Storage in Microgrids
Authors: Nleya Bakhe
Published: January 2024

Next Generation smart grid (SG) systems blend legacy power system networks and the latest state-of-the-art ICT technologies to ensure the efficiency, robustness as well as reliability of the former (power systems). The duplex flow of both information and energy enhances energy supply and de-mand response, as well as SG-related innovative business-oriented applications and services. Renewable generators (RGs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming prominent in any SG setup as they promote environmental friendliness.   The presence of both necessitates the optimal allocation of dis-tributed renewable generation (DRG) and energy storage sys-tems (ESS) at both SG and microgrid (MG) levels. In that way, grid stability will be always ensured. The paper describes and discusses an optimized ESS deployment approach for serving EVs (as they are one of the largest consumers of stored energy) and DRGs.  Careful consideration of the state of the ESS is also considered by developing and applying a dynamic capacity adjustment algorithm to deal with the none-smooth cost func-tions. The proposed cost function takes into consideration the operation as well as investment cost minimization concurrently. The matrix real-coded genetic algorithm (MRCGA) is used to minimize the cost function of the system while constraining it to meet the customer demand, as well as the security of the system overall. The computational simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The electricity network model is simplified using a virtual subnode concept to alleviate the computational load burden of a node's agent. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and stability of this dispatch strategy. Overall, our proposed framework and obtained results set a benchmark for the realization of agent-based coordination algorithms to solve the optimal dispatch problem

Engaging ladies has for some time been seen as the answer for some worldwide issues. Social orders that focus on ladies' strengthening show better advancement records and are better administered, steadier, and less inclined to brutality. Interestingly, social orders that compel ladies' instructive and work openings, and that deny ladies an equivalent political voice, are more unfortunate and more inclined to defilement. Ladies enduring the worst part of the drawn-out financial and cultural outcomes of the COVID-19 emergency, even the restricted additions, and hard-won advancement ladies have made in the previous twenty years are in danger of being moved back. Coronavirus has amplified the inescapable injustice that keeps on restricting ladies chances, going about as an incredible speaker of disparity.

SHGs have arisen as cutting edge laborers and the last mile interface among governments and individuals during this emergency by reacting to COVID-19; they are making veils, hand sanitizers, PPE units, circulating bring home apportion, dispersing COVID-19 related data, and running local area kitchens to take care of the defenseless is reflected in this paper.
