ELECTIONS IN CROATIA, NORTHERN MACEDONIA, BULGARIA AND SERBIA
Authors: Kandel Pavel ,   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2024

There have been a few noteworthy electoral events in the countries of South-Eastern Europe in 2024: Croatia and Bulgaria held parliamentary and European elections, Northern Macedonia faced presidential and parliamentary elections, Serbia called re-elections in 89 municipalities, including its capital. Everywhere the result was different. The ruling parties in Croatia and Serbia, although not without losses, have remained in power and dominant position. The opposition nationalist VMRO-DPMNE party in Northern Macedonia has defeated the incumbent Social Democrats with a huge score, however, their ability to carry out the campaign promises is yet unclear. The center-right GERB has beaten its rivals in Bulgaria, but is experiencing great difficulty forming a government, so the question is has it really won? All cases in question look as if they were «Pyrrhic victories». The winners needed to have noticeably sacrificed, and they do not entirely understand how to deal with the extremely dubious position they found themselves in by taking charge.
Neural Tracking of Speech Acoustics in Noise Is Coupled with Lexical Predictability as Estimated by Large Language Models
Authors: Iverson Paul , Song Jieun
Published: August 2024

Adults heard recordings of two spatially separated speakers reading newspaper and magazine articles. They were asked to listen to one of them and ignore the other, and EEG was recorded to assess their neural processing. Machine learning extracted neural sources that tracked the target and distractor speakers at three levels: the acoustic envelope of speech (delta- and theta-band modulations), lexical frequency for individual words, and the contextual predictability of individual words estimated by GPT-4 and earlier lexical models. To provide a broader view of speech perception, half of the subjects completed a simultaneous visual task, and the listeners included both native and non-native English speakers. Distinct neural components were extracted for these levels of auditory and lexical processing, demonstrating that native English speakers had greater target–distractor separation compared with non-native English speakers on most measures, and that lexical processing was reduced by the visual task. Moreover, there was a novel interaction of lexical predictability and frequency with auditory processing; acoustic tracking was stronger for lexically harder words, suggesting that people listened harder to the acoustics when needed for lexical selection. This demonstrates that speech perception is not simply a feedforward process from acoustic processing to the lexicon. Rather, the adaptable context-sensitive processing long known to occur at a lexical level has broader consequences for perception, coupling with the acoustic tracking of individual speakers in noise.
Bringing Past Kindness Into the Present: Memories of Acts of Kindness Are Vivid, Memorable, and Feel Good
Authors: Herbener Arthur B. , Bohn Annette , Pfattheicher Stefan
Published: August 2024

The current research is a contribution to the ongoing scientific efforts to understand the emotional implications of acts of kindness. While a large body of studies has examined the benefits of remembering past episodes of prosocial (monetary) spending toward others, considerably fewer studies have examined the implications of past acts of kindness. Additionally, the phenomenological experiences (e.g., the vividness and memorability) of such memories remain unexplored, even though the phenomenological experiences may contribute to the emotional implications of acts of kindness over time when recollecting these memories. The current work addresses these research gaps in two preregistered experimental studies. Specifically, we examined the well-being benefits of recalling memories of acts of kindness toward others and oneself, and how such memories are experienced by the remembering person. Study 1 (N = 521) showed that the kindness memories (compared to a memory control) were more easily recalled and experienced as more emotionally intense and positive. In addition, recalling acts of kindness toward oneself significantly increased hedonic, but not eudaimonic, well-being. In contrast, our results showed no significant increases in hedonic or eudaimonic well-being from recalling acts of kindness toward others. Study 2 (N = 513) attempted to replicate the findings concerning hedonic well-being, as well as to use a more sensitive tool to measure eudaimonic well-being at the state level. Analyses revealed that participants in both kindness conditions (self; other) experienced significantly more state eudaimonic and hedonic well-being than the control condition. We discuss various interpretations of our findings, including the possibility that systematic population differences shape the benefits of acts of kindness toward others.
Dyeing of wooden parts with organic dyes by boiling together method
Authors: Yazıcı Hikmet
Published: August 2024

Wood specimens were dyed by boiling them in the presence of walnut shells and dye to penetrate the dyestuff into the sample. Specimens prepared from Scots pine, oak, and beech woods were boiled separately in walnut shell, water, and NaOH environment, and the penetration of the dyestuff into the samples was ensured. Sodium hydroxide solution was preferred because it facilitates the dissolution of the hemicelluloses in the wood and the dyestuffs in the walnut shell. Alum was added in other samples to reveal the mordant effect on the adhesion of dyestuffs to wood. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis revealed that wood degradation primarily occurs due to evaporation of free water at 50 to 120 °C, followed by lignin and cellulose breakdown across a wide temperature range of 160 to 600 °C. Treatment with NaOH and NaOH+alum notably reduced the peak temperatures in differential-thermogravimetric analysis by indicating an effect on lignin. This was supported by Fourier transform infrared analysis, particularly in the disappearance of carboxyl groups at 1710 cm–¹ and significant decreases in peak intensities at 1027, 1247, 1315, and 1501 cm–¹. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the dyed parts obtained can be used in the wooden toy industry.
The monotheism of actions (tawhid al-af‘al) in the works by Abd Al-Rahman Jami
Authors: Lukashev Andrey
Published: August 2024

The thesis that God is the only active agent is not less important for Islamic monotheism then the declaration of His unity. It rises the question of the human actions’ status as well. The difference between divine and human actions in the Islamic thought has historical, philosophical, theological, and ethical significance.Abd al-Rahman Jami is one of the most prominent Naqshbandi Sufis. The Naqshbandi tariqat is widely spread in Central Asia, the Ural-Volga region, at the North Caucasus and ets. The author is an outstanding Sufi Persian poet of the classical period. His heritage can be regarded as a continuation of the classical Persian Sufi didactic tradition, which includes the works by such mystics as Sanai, Attar, and Rumi. He was also an admirer of the Ibn Arabi (a prominent Andalusian thinker) philosophy and was very well aware of the al-Suhrawardi’s (the Ishraqism founder) heritage. Of course, he was very well familiar with the classical philosophy.The synthesis of all these diverse lines of thought is evident in Jami’s understanding of the actions metaphysics. On one hand, Jami speaks of the God as the sole creator and the source of all actions. On the other hand, he insists on the human actions’ reality; moreover, from his point of view, humans possess freedom of choice. The conflict between the assertion of the divine might absoluteness and the consequent predestination of all human actions by divine will, on one hand, and the declaration of human freedom of choice, on the other, is resolved by Jami through the assertion that humans are predetermined by God to perfection. The fully realized Perfect Man’s freedom of choice is identical to the divine choice, directed to the good. Any other choice of a human is not completely free but determined, for example, by a passionate soul that leads him to evil. Jami understands the God, the highest level of being, and treats Him in this regard not so much as an actor but as the action itself. Following Ibn Arabi, Jami also identifies divine selfhood with being (wujud). Thus, it can be logically concluded, that Jami equates being (wujud) and action, offering some kind of the "being" processual interpretation, that can be partly traced back to the classical philosophy heritage, translated later by the falasifa (eg. Ibn Sina).
The orthodox tradition of intercession (Pechalovanie) in the supramoralistic projection of the philosophy of the common cause (N. F. Fedorov)
Authors: Onosov Alexander
Published: August 2024

The main goal of the work is an analytical study of the category “sadness” as one of the important ones in the philosophy of the common cause N.F. Fedorov (1829–1903). It is noted that sadness in supramoralism acquires the status of a special concept that expresses the socio-religious perception of the “non-peaceful” state of the world. Sadness is expressed by a rationally conscious and emotional-sensual experience of the phenomena of socio-natural unrelatedness; regret about the immaturity of humanity, about the moral and physical incompleteness, sinfulness and mortality of man. In Christianity sadness acquired a moral depth and hope for deliverance from unrelatedness and discord. Using the method of content analysis, the peculiarities of understanding the moral phenomenon of sadness in Orthodoxy are revealed, a brief excursion into the history of the Orthodox tradition of sadness is taken, and the modern content of sadness as a concept and as a special duty of the patriarch of the Russian Church is revealed. Supramoralism considers the only possible solution to this question the complete reconciliation of churches in a holistic and active Christian doctrine based on Orthodoxy, which is precisely sadness about the division of Christianity into separate branches. The article reveals an important semantic point of Fedorov’s teaching — the interpretation of the threat of the Apocalypse as a conditional prophecy requiring a morally active warning by humanity itself. It is concluded that in supramoralism sadness means the acceptance and fulfillment by humanity, which has come to the mind of truth, to duty of ontological transformation of the world. In its active function sadness is carried out as a general service of natural regulation. The result of the study is the explication of the deep active-christian meaning of sadness. In the supramoralistic understanding sadness expresses the principle of conscious and active participation of humanity in the world ontology, which opens up the possibility of a systematic solution to the fundamental issues of the existence of planetary society for a distant and good future.
Aproximación teórica del análisis del Estado en la transición política
Authors: Díaz Hernández Mariana
Published: August 2024

En el artículo se pretende presentar una aproximación teórica al análisis del Estado en la transición que es entendida como el paso de un momento de guerra a los intentos de paz a través de acuerdos con armados ilegales, arreglos institucionales y prácticas estatales. Se evidencia que el Estado no es homogéneo ni estable, sino que se configura y reconfigura constantemente. La transición evidencia que el Estado es un campo de luchas pues en él se desarrolla una pugna por lo que debería ser o no el nuevo comienzo o la nueva sociedad. En este sentido, se propone que el estudio del Estado en estos contextos se centre en el enfoque relacional, el análisis de lo local y cotidiano.

The paper presents new technique of foil-containing microwave absorbers manufacturing. These absorbers surface is characterized by the periodic structure and contain loop-like irregularities made from foiled polymer material. Electromagnetic radiation absorption characteristics in the frequency range 0.7–17.0 GHz of the experimental samples of the absorbers manufactured in accordance to the presented technique are described in the paper. These characteristics were obtained to experimentally justify the presented technique. The amplitude of the described characteristics changes from 0.5 to 0.95 in frequency ranges 0.7–2.0 GHz, 4.0–16.0 GHz. It means that the absorbers, manufactured in accordance to the presented technique are wide-band. Moreover, these absorbers are characterized by lower weight compared to the analogs. They are prospective for use for development of movable partitions for anechoic chambers.
Metodología del Origen, Causa y Efecto - OCEM aplicada a fallas eléctricas o accidentes eléctricos
Authors: Torres Sánchez Horacio
Published: August 2024

Este artículo trata del análisis de una metodología basada en las categorías filosóficas de Origen, Causa y Efecto - MOCE, aplicada a fallas eléctricas o accidentes eléctricos. La metodología MOCE propuesta en este artículo es fundamental en cualquier diagnóstico y soluciones asertivas de una falla o accidente eléctrico. Según los informes que entregan con frecuencia las empresas de energía eléctrica en Colombia, estas generalmente reportan una descarga eléctrica atmosférica o un rayo como Causa de una falla o salida de una línea de transmisión. Sin embargo, este es un error conceptual que conduce a soluciones no asertivas. Igualmente sucede, en general, en informes de fallas eléctricas o accidentes eléctricos que son originados por impactos de rayos

Evaluación de estrategias de control para la reducción del desbalance de tensión en microrredes eléctricas
Authors: Cañón Rojas Esmeralda , Rojas Cubides Helrbert Enrique , Díaz Aldana Nelson
Published: August 2024

La operación autónoma de microrredes trifásicas trae consigo problemas de calidad de potencia, entre ellos, uno de los más comunes son los desbalances de tensión. Este desequilibrio genera sobre equipos eléctricos y electrónicos problemas tales como resonancias, pérdidas de energía, envejecimiento prematuro, y fallas de operación. Particularmente, este problema resulta más crítico en microrredes AC aisladas debido a que fuentes y cargas no están conectadas a una red principal que las respalde.  En este escenario, la regulación de la red depende del tipo de fuente de energía que se emplee, así como los métodos para controlar y operar la microrred. Este artículo evalúa el desempeño de varias estrategias de control orientadas a la reducción del desbalance de tensión en microrredes trifásicas aisladas, usando simulaciones en MATLAB®. Los resultados muestran que, a pesar de las diferencias conceptuales, cada propuesta de compensación basa su operación en el cálculo de componentes simétricas, ya sea de tensión o de corriente. Lo anterior, combinado con la potencia reactiva, tensión o ajuste de impedancia, permite al control realizar la compensación, en mayor o menor proporción, por medio del convertidor electrónico. Esto debe considerarse en el momento de implementar una solución para la compensación de desbalances.
Operating Reserve Demand Curves for the Integration of Variable Renewable Energies in the Chilean Power System
Authors: Díaz Pizarro Sergio , Gil Esteban , Berríos Jorge
Published: August 2024

When incorporating non-dispatchable renewable sources into an electric power system, it's important to consider how this affects the optimal definition of operating reserves. In order to ensure effective short and long-term investments in new capacity, appropriate price signals must be put in place. The mechanisms used to define the optimal price of new capacities associated with operational reserve must reflect the temporality of the reliability and safety of the electric power system. Society places a high value on electricity consumption, as evidenced by the Value of Lost Load (VOLL). Therefore, the incremental value of reserves that reduce the probability of a loss event (Loss of Load Probability - LOLP) must be greater than zero when reserves are not abundant. To evaluate the adequate reserve requirements that a system needs, operating reserve demand curves (ORDC) are an explicit and dynamic administrative mechanism. They consider multiple sources of uncertainty in the system that cause imbalances between generation and demand, setting a dynamic price based on its contribution to improving the reliability of the system. This provides effective signals of the actual condition of the scenario through its impact on marginal cost. In a market such as the Chilean, introducing this strategy allows operators to increase prices during scarcity events as prices are determined by the marginal cost of the most expensive generation unit operating in the system. Introducing this scarcity mechanism will substantially impact investment incentives, delivering appropriate signals to encourage and support new technologies linked to the new path that Chile is advancing. This paper proposes a methodology to optimally incorporate renewable sources such as wind and sun into systems with hydrothermal characteristics, such as the Chilean one.

Interrupción de procesos industriales en una planta petroquímica por medición inexacta en relés de frecuencia
Authors: Bronzeado Herivelto de Souza , Villa Rivas Alessando , Zimath Sérgio
Published: August 2024

Los esquemas de desconexión de carga basados en el monitoreo de sub-frecuencia se emplean normalmente para desconectar las cargas de modo que se restablezca el equilibrio entre la generación y la carga del sistema. Este procedimiento debe ser muy confiable y bien ajustado. En este trabajo se presenta un caso de estudio donde un proceso industrial de una planta petroquímica fue desconectado por relés de frecuencia que no debían operar ya que las perturbaciones del sistema no estaban asociadas al desequilibrio entre carga y generación, sino por una falla (cortocircuito) en el sistema de transmisión. Este caso de estudio se basa en datos reales registrados, que muestran evidencias de que las fallas (cortocircuitos) pueden afectar las mediciones de frecuencia, lo que lleva a interrupciones de carga que deben evitarse. Se discuten recomendaciones para prevenir este tipo de falsos disparos.
Mogontiacum Vulgare: Linguistic change and cultural integration in the Vulgar Latin inscriptions of Mainz
Authors: Willms Lothar
Published: August 2024

This paper explores linguistic change and cultural integration (esp. Romanization and De-Romanization) as reflected in the non-standard Latin inscriptions from Mogontiacum (modern Mainz) (first cent. BC to eighth cent. AD). Since Mainz was pivotal for defence and operations against Germanic people east of the Rhine, Roman military and the Germanic element play a greater role than in Cologne and Trier. In the Early Empire, the military was the biggest factor of integration and mobility, for people and cults from both local, Celtic and Germanic, and remote, esp. eastern origin. The Early Empire inscriptions yield more archaic features than those from Cologne and Trier (ai) whereas curse tablets, found in the Isis and Mater Magna sanctuary, offer a copious corpus of substandard language, unique on the west bank of the Rhine (first attestation of aphaeresis, semivocalization of i). Christian funerary inscriptions document a more advanced phonetic stage (nearby merger, raisings ē > ī and ō > ū, first firm evidence for palatalization and semivocalization of u in the area) and a new pronominal paradigm (unisex nominative [qui] vs. oblique [hunc]) as well as the take-over, Christian conversion and entry into the clerical hierarchy by a Frankish warrior elite, reflected in Germanic spellings of appellatives and OHG devoicing of stops in names.
Evolving graph based knowledge space model for tutoring systems
Authors: Csépányi-Fürjes László , Kovács László
Published: August 2024

An intelligent tutoring system is a computer-based educational tool designed to provide adaptive learning environment to learners, mimicking the role of a human tutor. Its most typical areas of application are language learning, mathematics education, programming courses and medical training. Intelligent Tutoring Systems are based on the knowledge-module that is holding the system's knowledge in a well-structured format. Considering the current state of the art knowledge-module representations, a model that can represent evolving information is lacking. Representing evolving information is needed for those tutoring systems that are working with dynamically changing domains, e.g., software science. In this paper a new combined model is presented that is based on the ontology model and the fundamentals of knowledge space theory. The proposed model introduces the term of abstract time to be able to formulate an evolving knowledge graph. This paper introduces the term of evoking-hooks that makes it possible to realize connections between external domain elements and the nodes of the proposed model.

A large number of samples was collected, many more than by previous investigations, from dead corals. We provide detailed morphological data, including some previously overlooked key characters, as well as molecular data and intraspeciﬁc characters within the species.
Temporal Cycles and their Relationship with the Sky among the Toba of Western Formosa, Argentina
Authors: Gómez Cecilia Paula
Published: August 2024

This article explores cultural astronomy from an ethnographic perspective, focusing of the Toba of the middle Pilcomoyo in western Formosa, Argentina. We examine Toba temporal cycles, in particular interpretations of the sky involving Orion’s Belt, the Pleiades, Venus, the Moon and the Sun as well as stars in general, but also noting how time is marked by various environmental factors such as changes in the climate and animal sounds. It is shown that different celestial phenomena are seen as masculine or feminine, and we suggest that this in turn means that some indicate cycles of perishing and renewal, while others are eternal.

Published: August 2024

Background: Globally, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) continues to be a major public health burden. Transmission occurs by several means including the transmission from mother to child mostly happening during labor and delivery. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with HIV infection in women who delivered at Soroti Teaching/Regional Referral Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to June 2023. A total of 422 mothers who delivered in Soroti Regional Referral and Teaching Hospital were sampled by systematic random sampling. A structured data extraction tool was developed and data were collected using the Kobo Collect mobile application. Data was analyzed using STATA 15 and modified Poisson regression model was used for inferential statistics. Statistical significance was accepted for a value of p < 0.05. Results: The average age of the population was 26 years (SD = 0.5). The HIV prevalence was 5.3%. Associated factors were Gravidity ≥ 5 (PR- 95% CI = 1.54 to 1.57, P = 0.007), previous miscarriage ≥ 3 (PR = 0,266 (0.11, 0.642) CI 95%, P = 0.003), Hepatitis B PR-19.429 (2.613, 144.43) CI 95% p = 004 and residing in a rural setting (PR = 2.506 (1.05, 1.593) CI 95% p = 0.038). Conclusion: HIV prevalence among women who delivered at Soroti Teaching Hospital during the study period was 5.3%. Gravidity above 7, Hepatitis B infection, miscarriages more than or equal to 3 and living in a rural setting were significantly associated with HIV infection. Prevention of subsequent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases like hepatitis B are key factors in the prevention of HIV.
Current trends of improving the efficiency of froth separation of diamond-bearing kimberlites
Authors: Morozov V. V. , Kovalenko E. G. , Dvoychenkova G. P. , Pestryak I. V. , Lezova S. P.
Published: August 2024

Along with the introduction of new froth separation sections at new and existing enterprises, the basis for increasing the output of small diamonds is the reduction of their losses at the existing froth separation sections. The results of the studies of diamond surface composition under conditions of technogenic hydrophilization made it possible to establish the influence of the effects of crystallization of carbonate and silicate mineral films and the fixation of sludge fractions on the hydrophobicity and floatability of diamonds. It was proposed to use combined regimes of conditioning of ore and recycled water to increase floatability of diamonds, providing removal of hydrophilizing coatings and restoration of natural hydrophobicity of diamonds. The application of methods of acoustic, thermal, electrochemical, and reagent treatment of water-mineral disperse systems, as well as their combinations to increase floatability and reduce losses of hydrophilic diamonds in the process of froth separation was considered and substantiated.

Based on the study of the effect of the temperature factor in the preparation and froth separation processes, the optimal temperature regime of froth separation cycle operations was substantiated, providing the use of the heat consumed for thermal treatment of the initial diamond-containing material at a temperature of 85–90°С to maintain the required temperature in the conditioning operations with a collector and immediately in the froth separation and flotation operations.

It was shown that the regulation of phase composition of an apolar collector by additives of low- and medium- molecular fractions provides increase of its collecting ability due to transition of asphaltene-resin fraction into adhesion-active form and occurrence of processes of the collector autodispergating in aqueous phase. On the basis of the statistical analysis of froth separation process indicators depending on changing the share of recycled water in the processes the reason for worsening the indicators (performance) was determined, which consisted in a significant increase in the concentration of sludges. The optimum degree of recycled water use (85%) was determined, which ensures decreasing the used collector consumption by 8% without decreasing diamond recovery and concentrate quality.
Enhancing the performance of integer models for addressing the long-term production planning problem in open pit mines by decision variable fixation based on parametric analysis of the final pit limit

Published: August 2024

The importance of strategic mine planning to ensure the long-term viability of mining projects has increased significantly because of the limited availability of high-grade ore deposits. Given its high-dimensional and combinatorial nature, developing a precise mathematical optimization technique to solve the entire problem remains challenging, particularly for real-size block models. The primary objective of this study was to propose a method that combines a nested pit strategy with integer programming (IP) models to overcome computational limitations by reducing the problem’s complexity, decreasing solution times, and providing insights into alternative production schedules for large-scale open-pit mines. The proposed algorithm strategically fixes the decision variables based on parametric analysis of the ultimate pit limit to simplify the IP model. The approach was applied to various block models from MineLib, and the results were compared with standard IP solutions and findings from related studies using alternative algorithms. Applying the proposed method demonstrated significant reductions in the solution time (up to 95%) and the ability to solve intractable models.
The interplay between traditional dispute resolution institutions and the formal justice system in Ethiopia: The case of the Jaarsa Biyyaa
Authors: Roba Derara
Published: August 2024

Ethiopia has extensive experience with traditional dispute resolution practices that function parallel to the formal courts in various parts of the country. In pluralistic justice systems where state and non-state justice systems operate, how the state responds to the situation is significant. Through a study of cases prosecuted by the Jaarsa Biyyaa institution of the Arsi Oromo people, this article explores whether and how traditional dispute resolution institutions (TDRIs) interact with the formal courts and the impact of this interaction, if any, on the culture of the Arsi Oromo people. The findings show a shared interest in jurisdiction (predominantly over criminal matters) and competition between the Jaarsa Biyyaa and the formal courts. Moreover, there is also a practice of cooperation and complementarity between the Jaarsa Biyyaa and the formal justice system (FJS) where each recognises the other in practice. For the Arsi Oromo people, such mutual recognition is an opportunity to maintain the clanship organisation. More importantly, mutual recognition promotes conflict management in the community, which serves as a valuable lesson for the country. Other than the opportunities that arise, there are constraints such as the interruption of Jaarsummaa (elders reconciliation), broken social bonds and enmity.

OBJETIVO: Discutir como se estabelece a indicação de tecnologias relacionais off-line e on-line como recurso de cuidado a Pessoas Vivendo com HIV/Aids (PVHA) por psicólogas/os atuantes em serviços especializados. MÉTODO: Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa e exploratória. Utilizamos a perspectiva da psicologia social construcionista, além das noções de tecnologias dura, leve-dura e leve e seu encontro com a perspectiva de tecnologias (materiais e não materiais) como mediadoras inventivas. Realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas e submetemos os dados à análise categorial temática. RESULTADOS: Foram elaboradas duas categorias: tecnologias relacionais off-line e on-line. Tratam-se dos sentidos construídos em torno de estratégias para o cuidado de PVHA, que não são típicas da clínica psicológica clássica. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que o uso de tecnologias relacionais off-line e on-line no acompanhamento de PVHA sugere uma ampliação do repertório profissional das/dos psicólogas/os que trabalham em serviços especializados em HIV/Aids, porém, isso não demonstrou ocorrer de forma tão articulada no campo de atuação psicológica, em comparação às práticas psicológicas clássicas.

Background/Objective: A mathematical formula for population growth is known as the Malthusian growth model. According to this theory, the pace of growth corresponds to the current population. In terms of functionality, this is similar to exponential growth, in which population size increases at a fixed rate over regular intervals. The main aim of this article is to solve the Malthusian growth model in a fuzzy environment using the fourth-order Runge- Kutta method based on Centroidal Mean (RK4CeM). Methods: The fourth order Runge – Kutta method based on Centroidal Mean is used to obtain an approximate solution for the Malthusian growth model. In this study, we deal with the problem of fuzzy delay differential equation with constant delay using the fourth order Runge – Kutta method based on Centroidal mean where the linear interpolation is used to approximate the delay term. Findings: A numerical example of fuzzy time delay Malthusian growth model has been considered to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The solution graph of the proposed method is well comparable with the exact solution of the problem. Novelty: The numerical solutions and solution graph of the proposed method are well comparable with the exact solution and Euler method. This ensures the accuracy of the computed results. Hence, the proposed method is effective and suitable for solving fuzzy delay differential equations.

Background/Objectives: Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) form the critical infrastructure for many nations like smart grids, home automation, smart cities, smart health care, smart automobiles, etc. These systems are susceptible to various attacks due to their wider surface area. Cyber-attacks on these systems can interrupt the critical services provided by them. Thus, intrusion detection frameworks (IDFs) are needed to identify the attacks on CPSs so that countermeasures can be taken to minimize the harm of such attacks. Limitations of existing IDFs are poor detection rate, high detection time, high false alarm rate, and large space and time complexities. The objective of this study is to design hybrid-enhanced IDFs to overcome these issues. Methods: Two enhanced IDFs are proposed in this research work. SelectKBest-MI (mutual information), framework fuses two filter-based feature selection techniques namely SelectKBest and mutual information for selecting optimal features, and the Random Forest (RF) is utilized as a classifier. The second proposed IDF is named CNN-SVM-GWO. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used for extraction of attributes, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) are used for the optimal number of feature selection, RF and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) classifiers are used for intrusion detection. Two datasets have been used: CICIDS2017 and CIC-IoT-2023. Parameters considered for comparison with existing techniques are accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and prediction time. Findings: Implementation of SelectKBest-MI framework using the CICIDS2017 dataset, results in better accuracy of 99.99%, precision of 0.99, recall of 0.99, F1-score 0.99 for binary classification. Implementation of CNN-SVM-GWO framework using CIC-IoT-2023 dataset results in accuracy 99.60%(RF), 99.49(XGB), precision 0.99, recall 0.99, F1-score 0.99. Novelty: CNN-SVM-GWO IDF prediction time is 0.75 seconds (RF) and 0.078 seconds (XGB). The proposed model has reduced time complexity. Novel hybrid IDFs for optimal feature selection are proposed with enhanced efficiency.
