The reliable operation of electrical power transmission systems is crucial for ensuring consumer’s stable and uninterrupted electricity supply. Faults in electrical power transmission systems can lead to significant disruptions, economic losses, and potential safety hazards. A protective approach is essential for transmission lines to guard against faults caused by natural disturbances, short circuits, and open circuit issues. This study employs an advanced artificial neural network methodology for fault detection and classification, specifically distinguishing between single-phase fault and fault between all three phases and three-phase symmetrical fault. For fault data creation and analysis, we utilized a collection of line currents and voltages for different fault conditions, modelled in the MATLAB environment. Different fault scenarios with varied parameters are simulated to assess the applied method’s detection ability. We analyzed the signal data time series analysis based on phase line current and phase line voltage. We employed SMOTE-based data oversampling to balance the dataset. Subsequently, we developed four advanced machine-learning models and one deep-learning model using signal data from line currents and voltage faults. We have proposed an optimized novel glassbox Explainable Boosting (EB) approach for fault detection. The proposed EB method incorporates the strengths of boosting and interpretable tree models. Simulation results affirm the high-efficiency scores of 99% in detecting and categorizing faults on transmission lines compared to traditional fault detection state-of-the-art methods. We conducted hyperparameter optimization and k-fold validations to enhance fault detection performance and validate our approach. We evaluated the computational complexity of fault detection models and augmented it with eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) analysis to illuminate the decision-making process of the proposed model for fault detection. Our proposed research presents a scalable and adaptable method for advancing smart grid technology, paving the way for more secure and efficient electrical power transmission systems.

Viruses capable of causing persistent infection have developed sophisticated mechanisms for evading host immunity, and understanding these processes can reveal novel features of the host immune system. One such virus, human pegivirus (HPgV), infects ~15% of the global human population, but little is known about its biology beyond the fact that it does not cause overt disease. We passaged a pegivirus isolate of feral brown rats (RPgV) in immunodeficient laboratory mice to develop a mouse-adapted virus (maPgV) that established persistent high-titer infection in a majority of wild-type laboratory mice. maRPgV viremia was detected in the blood of mice for >300 days without apparent disease, closely recapitulating the hallmarks of HPgV infection in humans. We found a pro-viral role for type-I interferon in chronic infection; a lack of PD-1-mediated tolerance to PgV infection; and multiple mechanisms by which PgV immunity can be achieved by an immunocompetent host. These data indicate that the PgV immune evasion strategy has aspects that are both common and unique among persistent viral infections. The creation of maPgV represents the first PgV infection model in wild-type mice, thus opening the entire toolkit of the mouse host to enable further investigation of this persistent RNA virus infections.
Transforming the rhetoric of Just Energy Transition Partnerships into reality: The devil lies in the details
Authors: Banerjee Aparajita
Published: August 2024

Urgent political action is required to arrest the rise in global temperature within the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement. Rising to this challenge, a series of Just Transition Energy Partnerships (JETPs) was launched between individual Global South and a group of Global North countries since COP 26 in Glasgow. Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union (International Partner Group or IPG countries) have established plurilateral partnerships with individual countries like South Africa, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Senegal in each JETP. These partnerships aim to help IPG countries provide long-term support to partner countries in the Global South to disengage from coal and convert to renewables for electricity generation. However, though ’just transitions’ and ’partnerships’ are potent ideas to drive such processes, it is challenging to translate these ideas from political rhetoric to policies. This paper argues that JETPs are treading on a narrow edge with a high chance of re-instantiating some of the criticism of partnerships between Global North and Global South countries that can detrimentally affect the chances of just transition. Based on academic literature on partnerships and just transition, the paper concludes that the devil lies in the details. Formalizing processes that deliver a just and fair energy transition should align with the Global South countries’ social, economic, and political realities.
A far cry from greatness: Christian fundamentalism, liberty porn and the ‘good people’ of Trump’s America in Far Cry 5
Authors: Piero Mike
Published: August 2024

This article offers a close reading of Ubisoft’sFar Cry 5(FC5) (2018) in the context of apocalyptic rhetorics and evangelical Christian nationalism during the Trump Era. Building upon my previous work with video game chronotopes (2021) and Sören Schoppmeier’s analysis of the retrotopic, ‘nostalgia time’ in the game (2022), I analyse the doubled temporality of nostalgia time and apocalyptic time as deployed spatially in the game in combination with the game’s wanton use of ‘liberty porn’: undisciplined appeals to liberty and freedom through narrative, iconography and cutscene to instil respect and favour for the largely imagined plights of the right-wing inhabitants of the game’s fictional Hope County. Drawing heavily on examples of right-wing violence, attacks on civil rights and Christian fundamentalism during the Trump Era, this article draws concerning parallels betweenFC5’s rhetorical achievement and Trump’s embrace of white supremacist narratives – like ‘replacement theory’ – and militia groups, fashioning them as ‘good people’, a rhetoric similarly deployed throughout the game. Ultimately, this article argues for more corporate responsibility among game studios when it comes to deploying right-wing narratives and a bolder refutation of such reactionary games by game studies scholars, especially when parodic value is limited or largely absent.

Published: August 2024

INTRODUCTION:

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common and debilitating disorder. When dietary and pharmacological interventions are not satisfactory, psychological treatment may produce good results. However, the access to such treatment is scarce, and therefore, it is of importance to make use of technical solutions. In this study, we wanted to investigate the real-world effectiveness of an Internet-delivered exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy (ECBT) for IBS and to replicate an earlier finding regarding the working mechanism of the treatment.

METHODS:

A total of 309 consecutively recruited patients from the Internet Psychiatry Clinic in Stockholm received ECBT for 12 weeks. The patients' IBS symptoms, quality of life, avoidance behaviors, and gastrointestinal symptom-specific anxiety were monitored, and we used a bivariate cross-lagged panel model to investigate time-related change in symptoms and avoidance behaviors.

RESULTS:

IBS symptoms, measured with the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale for IBS, were reduced from 48.06 (SD = 11.26) before treatment to 33.06 (SD = 10.81) 6 months after treatment (P < 0.001). The effect size (calculated by Cohen d) was 1.30 (1.08–1.51). There was a significant (P < 0.001) cross-lagged effect from reduction in avoidance behavior to reduction in symptoms but not in the reverse direction, indicating that the treatment effect is mediated by behavioral change.

DISCUSSION:

We conclude that ECBT is effective under real-world conditions, also when delivered through the Internet, and that an important treatment mechanism is the reduction of avoidance behaviors.

Published: August 2024

Child-friendly education is an important program that provides children from various socio-cultural and ethnic backgrounds with safe, comfortable, and nonviolent learning activities at the family, school, and community.  This community service-based article aims to describe (1) the fundamental reasons for revitalizing child-friendly education and (2) the critical principles and elements that allow children to develop their potential in the digital age fully. This program used a dialogic approach to deliver the topic under discussion, involving twenty participants, including parents and teenagers, in Mlese, Klaten Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The dialogic interaction takes the form of (1) presenting material related to child-friendly education in the digital age, (2) investigating problems in small groups based solely on subtopics, and (3) openly discussing solutions to such problems. The results of data analysis from this interactive dialogue affirmed that human-to-human oral interactions enable problem-solving. Children can develop essential values of honesty, dignity, respect, and safety when key ideas and components of child-friendly education are incorporated into their school, schools and community-based platforms.

Authors: Nugraha Mauludy Nugraha
Published: August 2024

This research purpose to provide efforts to improve the education quality of human resources especially students of MI Mathaul Anwar Geledug Karacak Leuwiliang. The urgency of this research is the inequality and limited access facilities to improve the quality of human resources so that additional learing is needed which is spearheaded by the youth community in Bogor Regency. The research method used is qualitative with field research observing how the activities and series of sekolah alam are carried out. Plus, I took advantage of sekolah alam Jong Bobar activities for observing. As for some of the activities Sekolah Alam such as including English classes, local history, literacy, and so on. Even though additional classes outside formal schools, there are obstacles to implementing such as limited funds, time, and low awareness of students and student guardians. However, on the other hand, there is a significant impact from the sekolah alam on the fourthgrade students of MI Mathlaul Anwar, namely intelligence, knowledge, and courage. This is caused by an effective teaching method in which we use joyful learning and gamification. Therefore, with this method we do devotion and build the village through improving the quality of education for MI Mathlaul Anwar students.
