Published: November 2022

Aiming at the problems that the modelling parameters of hydropower units are difficult to obtain and the simplified models of hydropower units are not accurate enough, this paper proposes a mid- and long-term unit system model and sequence update power generation strategy for hydropower stations suitable for engineering applications. A set of methods for simulating annual hourly inflow flow based on scenario division are proposed, and the obtained simulation data is used as the input for the modelling of hydropower stations. Then, according to the measured data of the power station, a medium and long-term hydropower station system model considering the change of the reservoir water level and without the variable of the water volume of the reservoir is given. Finally, combined with the timing power generation strategy of the hydropower station, the medium and long-term unit scheduling method of the hydropower station is obtained.
The Improvement of Triple Trip Realization Method of Circuit Breaker Trip Circuit Communication
Authors: Hui Jie , Chen Rengang , Qiao Kai , Liu Nina
Published: November 2022

Circuit breaker trip circuit (also known as control circuit) is the most important secondary circuit for relay protection. Among them, the “communication triple trip” (CTT) hard contact connected to the operation exit circuit of the protection device increases the complexity of the trip circuit and the difficulty of analyzing the trip circuit failure. When the system runs normally, the signal of “control circuit disconnection” cannot be accurately and timely uploaded to the operation monitoring background. When the system short-circuit fault occurs, the circuit breaker cannot operate correctly due to the trip circuit break, so the adjacent interval is connected by the near backup protection, thus causing the expansion of the accident scope. In this paper, it is proposed for the first time that the CTT hard contact protected by circuit breaker should be replaced by the soft CTT (i.e. the control word) of the protection device, so as to make the trip circuit reliable, clear and simple, and at the same time ensure the accuracy of the “control circuit break” signal.

Authors: Zhang Yongming , Wang Xikui , Gu Wenping
Published: November 2022

In this paper, the test technology of electrochemical energy storage grid connected characteristics was studied. Firstly, the overall idea and architecture of the energy storage system grid connected characteristic test device were proposed, and then the software and hardware modules were designed in detail. Secondly, on these bases, a prototype of energy storage characteristic test device was developed. Finally, the energy storage system of Gaotang DongCui Longhong photovoltaic power station was applied in the field by using the energy storage characteristic test device. The power control ability, charge and discharge regulation time, charge and discharge response time and charge and discharge conversion time of the energy storage station were tested respectively. The test results show that the power control ability, measurement deviation and measurement accuracy meet the requirements of the national standard, and the resolution of charge discharge response time, charge discharge adjustment time and charge discharge conversion time is 0.01s, which meets the requirements of the national standard. Therefore, the feasibility of the proposed energy storage grid connected characteristic test technology was verified.

Authors: Zhao Xulei
Published: November 2022

In order to improve the flexibility of the power system, alleviate the problem of wind power curtailment in the heating season in North China, Northeast China and Northwest China, and realize the coordinated operation of the demand side and supply side resources, this paper proposes that the demand side resources include the flexible heat load considering the users’ thermal comfort, the peak-valley time-of-use electricity price demand response, and the orderly charge and discharge of electric vehicles into the power grid. On this basis, the green economic dispatching model of combined heat and power system is established. Then, the Benders decomposition method is used to realize the decomposition and iterative of the thermoelectric system in the outer layer, and the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is nested in the inner layer for optimizing the solution. Example analysis were given to show that the proposed strategy and model can effectively reduce the total cost of system power supply and improve the accommodation of wind power.

Authors: Toma Rafia Nishat , Gao Yangde , Kim Jong-Myon
Published: November 2022

Condition monitoring becomes an integral part of the industrial manufacturing system to ensure a safe working environment and reduce the cost of maintenance. Involving deep learning techniques in fault diagnosis methods not only increases the accuracy and reliability of the system but also reduces the operation time and hassle of the manual feature extraction process. In this paper, a complete framework for fault classification is introduced by using the vibration signals of bearings containing normal and faulty conditions. Firstly, the frequency spectrums of the time-series signals are generated with FFT and transformed the 1-D signal into 2-D images with the recurrence plots (RP) algorithm. Finally, a deep CNN model is designed to classify the bearing conditions with the extracted high-level features from the RP-based image dataset. The images show a distinct pattern in every bearing condition and the CNN model can achieve 99.24% accuracy to classify three different bearing conditions. The image classification-based fault diagnosis approach is automated and eliminates the disadvantages of the manual feature extraction process. The generated images with RP were also trained with three predefined CNN models to verify the effectiveness of the fault patterns. Finally, the comparative analysis demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms other researchers’ approaches both in terms of classification accuracy and computational cost.

Published: November 2022

This work aims to numerically investigate the performance of the multiquadric (MQ) radial basis function in more general formats for image reconstruction applications. Desired features, i.e., accuracy and shape parameter sensitivity, of each form is numerically compared and explored. The famous Lena image is damaged using two levels of damage: 20% and 40%, in a Salt-and-Pepper manner. It has been discovered in this work that β=3/2 produces reasonably good accuracy and is least affected by the change in shape parameter while keeping both the CPU time and the condition number reasonably acceptable. This finding is promising and useful for further applications of MQ in more complex contexts.

Conditions for the formation of traps and oil and gas deposits in Western Turkmenistan
Authors: Serikova U. S. , Allanazarova M. A. , Nyrenberg E. S.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The study of the conditions for the development of discontinuous disturbances makes it possible to draw conclusions that in the formation and destruction of various deposits, they are connected by discontinuities different in the mechanism of their formation. The lithological composition of the rocks in contact with it has a certain significance for assessing these gaps in relation to the formation or disbandment of deposits. The main role here is played mainly by clay sections, the material of which fills the cracks, preventing the destruction of hydrocarbon deposits in individual suites (Middle Pliocene deposits).

Aim. Identification of conditions for the formation of traps and deposits of oil and gas within western Turkmenistan.

Materials and methods. Analysis of published literature and factual data.

Results. Thus, discontinuous disturbances are the most important factor in the formation of deposits and play an exclusively creative role, forming oil deposits of a tectonically shielded type.
Mineral composition of terrigenous components in loess and clay deposits of Western Mongolia
Authors: Ryashchenko T. G.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The paper considers the results of a study associated with the mineral composition of terrigenous components in loess and clay deposits of Western Mongolia. The study was performed by the method of quantitative immersion analysis using samples obtained in the framework of geological studies during the seismic microzoning of certain cities.

Aim. Determination and analysis of variations in the mineral composition of terrigenous components of loess quaternary alluvial, eolian, diluvial-eolian and diluvial-proluvial complexes, as well as Neogene-lower Quaternary lake-alluvial and Cretaceous-Paleogene lake “brick” clays.

Materials and methods. The database is represented by quantitative data on the content of light and heavy minerals (0.01—0.25 mm fraction) in various geological and genetic deposit complexes, sampled from outcrops with the thickness of 6–8 m and test wells with the depth of 20–30 m (72 samples in total). During the compositional characterisation of light and heavy fractions, mineral associations were established, as well as maturity (Кz) and stability coefficients (KU) were calculated. Four territorial zones, including northern (territory of Sükhbaatar and Mörön), central (Zuunmod), western (Uliastai) and southern (Dalanzadgad), were isolated. A Q-type cluster analysis program was applied to process mineralogical data.

Results. Variations in mineral associations of the studied objects were established related both to their belonging to the selected geological and genetic complexes and the possibility of eolian process effects. The factors of influence include climatic conditions during the formation of complexes, the composition of rocks in geological formations abundant in these territories and contemporary climatic zoning.

Conclusion. Representative data were obtained for the central and southern zones, where the mineral composition of terrigenous components was determined using samples from test wells having clearly observed variations in the mineral composition of deposits during the change of a geological and genetic complex. Since the immersion method is still essential for studies of sedimentary rocks, the information on a new object, represented by the territory of West Mongolia, obtained for the first time, appears to be of a particular interest both from scientific and practical points of view.

Published: November 2022

Investors are constantly searching for methods to generate value above passive investment techniques. Therefore, analysing the performance of hedge funds as compared to mutual funds, particularly in the wake of Covid-19, can aid investors in their investment decision-making process. Those investors who desire above-average returns, particularly in volatile market conditions place an expectation on hedge funds to be able to achieve higher performance during economic downturns, given that they are designed to mitigate risk and to take advantage of harsh financial market conditions. Monthly, secondary data were collected from 30 September 2018 to 31 August 2021 to analyse and compare the risk-adjusted performance of five hedge funds and five mutual funds in South Africa. Both hedge and mutual funds indicated higher risk-adjusted returns from the pre-Covid-19 period compared to during the pandemic. Hedge funds were found to have higher risk-adjusted returns than mutual funds during the Covid-19 period. The novelty of these results indicated that hedge fund managers can achieve higher returns for investors during extreme market events.
The Preferences of Consumers When Selecting Clothing Detergent Products
Authors: Kamwendo Andrew R. , Maharaj Mandusha
Published: November 2022

The retailing environment has shown that consumer purchases are dependent upon the consideration and subsequent evaluation of product attributes. Consumer’s selection of products are driven by their preferences for the attributes that the products possess. The aim of this study was to investigate product attribute preferences for cross-category shopping products in Durban. The quantitative study design based on a cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted. The study population consisted of consumers within the city of Durban. The study sampled 213 students selected from three universities in Durban (University A, B and C). Research respondents were chosen using convenience sampling. Respondents were purposely selected based on their capacity to give meaningful information relevant to the study. The Cronbach alpha test was conducted to test for reliability of the first instrument. The results indicated acceptable, consistent scoring patterns for the sections of the research instrument. The study revealed that for clothing detergent products, product form is the most important attribute followed by product effectiveness. It is important to note that significant differences were found in the respondent's preferences for product attributes in terms of the respondent's demographics. For clothing detergents, significant differences were found in terms of respondents preferences for the price, scent, size and product form of clothing detergents. Subsequently, generalised product attribute preferences were obtained. The findings of the study are limited due to the low response rate among older respondents. Future studies may benefit from investigating sub-categories. Moreover, future studies should consider other consumer segmentation methods in order to better understand and classify retail behaviour when developing modelling approaches. Retail managers may benefit from communicating more value for money for their skincare product offerings. Brands that are synonymous with longer lasting products either through offering more volume or products that require less application to achieve desired results may provide a competitive advantage.
Challenges Facing Women Cooperatives in Accessing Markets for Agricultural Products: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Msosa Steven Kayambazinthu
Published: November 2022

Co-operatives enable women who would have been isolated and working alone to band together and produce economies of scale whilst also increasing their negotiating power in the market. However, despite the quest to access the markets as a unit, women cooperatives face several challenges that hinder their progress. This study sought to analyse the challenges facing women cooperatives in accessing markets for agricultural products. A systematic literature review was conducted using several academic databases. Thus, a plethora of studies on women cooperatives published between 2011 and 2022 were reviewed.  The findings of this study show that women cooperatives’ access to markets is hampered by a lack of information about markets, transportation problems, structural and cultural constraints, and a lack of skills. This study is expected to contribute to the extant literature on women cooperatives and could assist scholars, policy-makers and practitioners to understand the dynamics of the challenges affecting women cooperatives. Such an understanding could help in reviewing and re-designing policies aimed at opening up markets for women cooperatives.

Armenia – Police Reform as a Cooperative Effort
Authors: Fluri Philipp , Parsons Timothy
Published: November 2022

Reform, as opposed to revolution, is an iterative process. It is also non-linear. You may not be getting it right the first time. At least not completely right. The authors of this article had the privilege and the pleasure of being invited to advise on the police reform process in the Republic of Armenia from 2014 through 2017 (the introduction of a form of ‘community policing’ had been announced in 2012 but failed to gain traction in the interim). In close cooperation with the then OSCE Office in Yerevan (OiY) and obviously the Armenian authorities, and at times the EU and US representatives, the authors – after taking inventory of existing policies, laws, directives, and regulations, and analysing them in light of internationally recognized good practice -- designed and delivered instruction programs for police officers at different levels, including leadership. In parallel, and as part of a ‘two-pronged’ approach, they contributed to structuring and informing an enabling political (parliamentary) process, including civil society organisations, in close cooperation with the then chairman of the Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs of the National Assembly, Mr Koryun Nahapetyan, though the police force at the time was still kept close to the presidency. The authors feel encouraged by and welcome recent steps taken by the Pashinyan government to reanimate the police reform process in the RA. It is understood that police reform necessarily is an ongoing process of reflection and implementation on the one hand, structured by focussed phases of more intense political fact-finding and operational structuring on the other. In this article the authors share their observations from the days of their own involvement with added insights on the later evolution of police reform and practice.
Investigation of Anti-Pilling Properties of Different Fabrics Applied with Polyvinylcaprolactam
Authors: KARA Ali , BÜYÜKKORU Burcu
Published: November 2022

Pilling is one of the most important problems in the textile industry still not confidently solved. The problem is a kind of mechanically caused fabric defect consisting by a series of roughly spherical masses of entangled fibers called pills. Many studies have been carried out to define this problem in detail, determine the pilling intensity by different methods and improve the pilling grades of fabrics. One of the most beneficial methods to improve values is chemical finishing by applying specific polymers. In this study, a specific synthesized anti-pilling polymer was used for chemical finishing by padding method. A specific polymer based on polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCL) was synthesized and applied on the fabrics. The polymer has been characterized with FT-IR, NMR, DSC, elemental analysis devices also to optimize application-parameters. Especially pilling grades of blended fabrics of natural and synthetic staple fibres are often worser then other non blended fabrics, PVCL polymer was applied on a selection of different polyester cotton blends or polyester viscose blend, which have pilling values between 2-3. PVCL-Polymer applications were carried out by using these 7 different fabrics. As a result, approximately 1.5-2 pilling degree improvement was achieved. Anti-pilling polymers applied on the fabrics used to improve pilling values often decrease hydrophilicity values of the fabrics and worsen touch. However, the specific PVCL-polymer does not lead to a loss of smooth hand neighter to a loss of smooth fabric touch. On the contrary, it improves both hydrophilicity and smooth touch not causing fabric yellowing. PCVL is distinguished from other products used for pilling improvement in the textile industry.

SEKURITISASI ISU LINGKUNGAN DALAM HAMBATAN PERDAGANGAN SAWIT DI EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL
Authors: Athallah Ilham Dary
Published: November 2022

Tulisan ini akan menganalisis proses kemunculan inward-looking syndrome yang bertentangan dengan semangat globalisasi, dalam studi kasus proteksionisme perdagangan terhadap sawit yang dilakukan Uni Eropa lewat kebijakan European Green Deal. Kemunculan kebijakan ini menarik untuk didalami, karena bukan merupakan fenomena tunggal yang sedang terjadi dalam konteks global, yaitu kuatnya resistensi atas semangat perdagangan bebas yang dibawa globalisasi. Selain itu, terdapat perang wacana ketika proteksionisme dagang dijustifikasi dengan narasi bahwa komoditas sawit adalah sumber ancaman dari kerusakan lingkungan, terlepas dari efisiensi sawit dibanding minyak nabati lainnya dan komitmen keberlanjutan yang telah dilakukan Indonesia sebagai produsen sawit terbesar dunia bersama aktor negara produsen sawit lain. Menggunakan teori sekuritisasi, paper ini akan menjelaskan bagaimana sawit diposisikan sebagai existential threat bagi lingkungan hidup, sehingga terjadi upaya sekuritisasi (securitizing move) berupa narasi (speech act) yang mempersepsikan sawit secara negatif. Kebijakan European Green Deal yang berisi langkah-langkah proteksionisme terhadap sawit juga akan dijelaskan sebagai extraordinary measures yang disetujui oleh audiens, karena: 1) telah terbentuk narasi bahwa otoritas perlu melindungi masyarakat sebagai referent object dari ancaman lingkungan yang dinarasikan, 2) didukung kepentingan petani dan perusahaan multinasional di bidang agrikultur sebagai securitizing actor yang menghendaki proteksionisme karena selama ini minyak nabati yang diproduksinya berkompetisi langsung dengan sawit, dan 3) politisi di Komisi Eropa turut menjadi aktor sekuritisasi karena insentif elektoral yang mereka terima ketika mendukung industri dan opini yang populer di mata publik.

Published: November 2022

Однією з важливих складових формування, розвитку й функціонування сил оборони України є стратегічне планування, яке в умовах збройної агресії проти України з боку Російської Федерації потребує термінового вдосконаленням, оскільки існуюче планування на даний час не в змозі охопити весь спектр завдань, які визначені національним законодавством у сфері оборони.Однією з причин такого стану на сьогодні є відсутність цілісної системи державного стратегічного планування, складовою частиною якого є стратегічного планування в силах оборони.

Метою статті є дослідження та обґрунтування ефективніших підходів до вдосконалення стратегічного планування у силах оборони для сучасних безпекових умов.

Визначені основні кроки розроблення стратегічного плану:

- підготовка до процесу стратегічного планування;

- аналіз майбутнього безпекового середовища;

- визначення візії та місії органу управління складових сил оборони;

- визначення стратегічної мети та цілей розвитку спроможностей сил оборони;

- визначення завдань та показників для досягнення визначених  стратегічних цілей;

- розроблення стратегічного плану складових сил оборони, який містить певні етапи його формування;

- реалізація стратегічного плану та моніторинг його виконання.

Розроблення стратегічного плану розвитку сил оборони, як специфічний вид діяльності, ‑ це послідовний ітераційний процес, що складається з сукупності взаємопов’язаних етапів. Запропоновано порядок розроблення і контролю виконання стратегічного плану розвитку складових сил оборони

Causes and risk profiles of mortality among individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Konyn Peter , Ahmed Aijaz , Kim Donghee
Published: November 2022

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the United States and worldwide. Though nonalcoholic fatty liver per se may not be independently associated with an increased risk for all-cause mortality, it is associated with a number of harmful metabolic risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and an unhealthy diet. The fibrosis stage is a predictor of all-cause mortality in NAFLD. Mortality in individuals with NAFLD has been steadily increasing, and the most common cause-specific mortality for NAFLD is cardiovascular disease, followed by extra-hepatic cancer, liver-related mortality, and diabetes. High-risk profiles for mortality in NAFLD include PNPLA3 I148M polymorphism, low thyroid function and hypothyroidism, and sarcopenia. Achieving weight loss through adherence to a high-quality diet and sufficient physical activity is the most important predictor of improvement in NAFLD severity and the benefit of survival. Given the increasing health burden of NAFLD, future studies with more long-term mortality data may demonstrate an independent association between NAFLD and mortality.
