Balancing variable renewable energy sources (RES) represents one of the main limiting factors for their integration into the Serbian power system. Based on the research of statistical indicators of the error in the prediction of the production of wind power plants and solar power plants, which was carried out in the first part of the work, this part of the work presents the results of the calculation of the required balance capacities in the power system of Serbia for the current situation and defined scenarios for the construction of RES until 2030. Optimization of the required balancing capacities was performed depending on the expected production power of renewable sources. The required capacities of secondary and tertiary reserves in the system were estimated depending on the installed capacities of wind and photovoltaic power plants. The obtained results can be the basis for strategic planning of the development of RES and the necessary balance capacities that will enable their integration into the power system of Serbia.

The paper deals with the optimal dispatching of Public Enterprise EPS production units for different scenarios of integrated RES capacities in the power system of Serbia for the current and future circumstances in 2030. To solve this complex optimization problem, we applied an approach that decomposes the power generation scheduling problem into two subproblems: seasonal and daily optimization. The ANTARES software tool intended for economic and adequacy analysis was used to determine: the strategy of seasonal water use from reservoir power plants, optimal seasonal operation of pumped storage hydropower plants, and the unit commitment of thermal power plans. This tool solves the problem of optimal engagement of production units to minimize system operating costs while respecting the defined techno-economic limitations. The results of the seasonal optimization are the input data for the second step, that is, day-ahead economic dispatch, taking into account the required level of secondary and tertiary reserves. Software developed at the School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade was used to solve this optimization problem. Based on the established methodology and software, the optimal engagement of EPS production units for the existing and future cases in terms of installed RES capacities was calculated. Calculations were made for typical years in terms of hydrology.

The paper focuses on assessing the costs of balancing renewable energy sources (RES) that the Public Enterprise Electric Power Industry of Serbia (PE EPS) has as the balancing responsible party according to the existing regulations. The paper presents an algorithm used to estimate the opportunity cost, which is the most significant cost component of PE EPS while providing a reserve for secondary and tertiary regulation services. Opportunity cost is the cost of a "missed opportunity," i.e., the unrealized profit that the production units of PE EPS could have made on the electricity market, assuming that it is not obliged to provide the service of balancing power reserve. Based on the developed algorithm, software was created to calculate balance reserve costs for the current situation and various analyzed scenarios of future development of installed RES capacities in the Serbian power system. Based on the analyzes carried out and the forecasted profile of electricity prices on the referent electricity market, the calculation of the balance reserve cost for the EES of Serbia for different levels of installed RES power was performed.

U uslovima sve većeg broja obnovlјivih izvora energije (OIE) velike snage koji se priklјučuju na prenosni sistem postavlјa se pitanje koji režimi rada sistema se mogu javiti kao kritični sa stanovišta nedozvolјenih vrednosti napona i preopterećenja u sistemu. U dosadašnjoj praksi se za najkritičnija stanja uzimaju režimi letnjeg maksimuma i letnjeg minimuma i pri ovim stanjima opterećenja mreže vrši se analiza uticaja maksimalnog nivoa angažovanja vetroelektrane. Imajući u vidu stohastičku prirodu proizvodnje električne energije iz vetroelektrana može se postaviti pitanje opravdanosti analiziranih stanja i realnosti dobijenih rezultata sa aspekta finansijskih ulaganja u izgradnju novih vetroelektrana, ali i ulaganja u izgradnju prenosne mreže. Sveobuhvatnija analiza trebalo bi da obuhvati proračune ne za dva odabrana stanja, pa makar ona bila i najkritičnija sa stanovišta opterećenja, već proračune na satnom nivou koji bi pokazali i adekvatnost proizvodnje i potrošnje ali i realnost postizanja nekih kritičnih stanja sa stanovišta preopterećenja i nedozvolјenih napona u mreži kao i dužinu njihovog trajanja. Cilј ovog rada je demonstracija mogućnosti simulacionog modela na satnom nivou (tzv. kvazidinamički simulacioni model) u programskom paketu DIgSILENT PowerFactory koji služi kao podloga za analize statičkih proračuna tokova snaga i detekciju kritičnih režima i njihovog trajanja koji se mogu javiti usled priklјučenja OIE na prenosni sistem. Na ovom modelu biće izvršena uporedna analiza uticaja priklјučenja jedne odabrane vetroelektrane na prenosni sistem kada bi se priključenje analiziralo samo na karakterističnim režimima i kada bi se priključenje analiziralo korišćenjem kvazidinamičkog simulacionog modela.

Authors: Pandey Bharat , Pande Kamal K , Pande Lata
Published: December 2023

This article investigates the variation in chemical constituents at different altitudes in the Himalayan region, specifically focusing on the Kumaon region. The study aims to understand the impact of altitude on the chemical composition of plants and its implications for ecological interactions and human health. Extensive field surveys were conducted across various altitudes, and plant samples were collected for chemical analysis. The results revealed significant variations in the chemical constituents of plants at different altitudes, including secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. The study also identified specific altitude-dependent patterns, with certain compounds being more abundant or absent at particular altitudes. These variations in chemical constituents can be attributed to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and solar radiation, which change with altitude. The findings highlight the importance of considering altitude as a key factor in studying the chemical ecology of the Himalayan region. Understanding these variations can have significant implications for conservation efforts, pharmaceutical research, and traditional medicine practices in the region. Further research is needed to explore the ecological and physiological mechanisms underlying these altitude-related variations in chemical constituents.
The Environmental Impact of Leachate Processing Installations: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Study
Authors: Nuriyyah Ismatun , Karnaningroem Nieke
Published: December 2023

This study aims to analyze waste management in the face of population growth and increasing human activity. As the population continues to grow and human activities intensify, the proper management of waste becomes crucial to safeguarding the environment. In this context, leachate treatment through the Leachate Treatment Plant (LTP) emerges as a key element in protecting the environment from the negative impacts of leachate. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method serves as a valuable tool for analyzing the environmental implications of LTPs and aiding in sustainable decision-making. The research process commences with gathering essential data and constructing an inventory related to energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution loads, and the utilization of natural resources. Through the gate-to-gate approach using the SimaPro application with the CML-IA Baseline method, the environmental impacts are quantified. The study reveals the significant impacts of Global warming (3.03E-08 Pt), Photochemical Oxidation (3.70E-09 Pt), Human toxicity (2.09E-09 Pt), and Eutrophication (1.87E-06 Pt). Eutrophication stands out as the most prominent impact of wastewater treatment. The resultant eutrophication impact predominantly originates from the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) pollutant component, mainly generated from the equalization tub unit and constructed wetland. Furthermore, the control tank emerges as the primary source of the dominant pollutant.

Authors: Cherubet Beldine , Otsyulah Joseph , Mackton Wanyama S.
Published: December 2023

A human resource compliance audit is one of the critical aspects of the universities that helps ensure all the policies, procedures, and practices of the university are adhered to by the management and other employees. Employee performance has been reported to be low in many universities. This is because of non-adherence to the university policies and practices. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to establish the effect of human resource compliance audits on employee performance at public universities in Western Kenya. The study was based on human capital theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population for the study was 187 respondents comprising 9 human resource managers, 9 deputy human resource managers, 121 human resource officers, and 48 internal auditors in all public universities in Western Kenya. Stratified random sampling was used to select 127 respondents. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data. Reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha and validity using experts and factor analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data. Regression analysis indicated that human resource compliance audits had a positive and significant influence on employee performance. It was, therefore, established that a unit increase in compliance audit would lead to the subsequent increase in employee performance by 0.178 units. The study established that 61.6% variation in employee performance was caused by human resource audit. The study findings will be useful for policy-making in public and private universities and form a basis for future studies by contributing to the pool of existing literature. The study recommended that universities should plan for compliance audits at least twice per year. It was also recommended that the university should put in place relevant internal control measures that will help in tracking each employee.

‘YES, WE CAN’: THE USE OF DEICTIC UTTERANCES IN THE INAUGURAL SPEECH OF PRESIDENT NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO
Authors: Addo-Danquah Rosemary Gifty , Partey Faustina Amponsah, , Nyarko Ansa Alberta Dansoah, , Yeboah Eric
Published: December 2023

The study examines President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's use of personal pronouns to create different identities and to sway public opinion, and support for a political goal in his inaugural address. The goal of the study is to identify the individual to whom the President is referring when he employs the personal pronoun ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘you’, and ‘we’. The key emphasis of the study is to determine whom the President refers to when he uses the personal pronouns I and me, you, and us from the three-tier analytical framework of Fairclough (1980) thus description, interpretation, and explanation. The results suggest that the pronominal choices and their referent swing greatly depending on the context of the speech. The findings reveal the ideologies that Nana Addo aims to espouse. Again, the findings have far-reaching consequences for inaugural address research as a tool for understanding the relationship between rhetorical substance and style and the characteristics unique to presidential political and social perspectives.

Authors:   , Silva Jéssica Nayara Basílio
Published: December 2023

A cultura da soja representa uma fonte valiosa de proteína e óleo na alimentação humana e animal. Os melhoristas de soja têm focado em produzir variedades com alto conteúdo de proteína e óleo, sem esquecer da melhoria do potencial de rendimento e produtividade. Essas características são muito desejadas e impulsionam o sucesso e o valor da soja. Neste sentido, a tese visa aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre marcadores moleculares para entender a herança e aumentar o conteúdo de óleo e proteína no grão da soja brasileira. No primeiro capítulo foram utilizados dados disponíveis na literatura para investigar marcadores SNP associados ao conteúdo de proteína e óleo na soja brasileira. Através desta pesquisa, vinte e dois novos QTLs (Quantitative Trait Loci) foram identificados. Destaca-se a influência substancial dos ancestrais Roanoke, Lee e Bragg na composição genética das variedades brasileiras de soja. No segundo capítulo foi desenvolvida uma população de 476 linhas endogâmicas recombinantes (RILs) a partir do cruzamento entre BARC-08 e SUPREMA e posteriormente avaliada em quatro diferentes ambientes. Dos marcadores moleculares avaliados, ss61, ss73, ss134 e ss185 associaram para o conteúdo de proteína em um dos ambientes. O marcador ss115 associou tanto para o conteúdo de óleo, quanto para proteína em todas as localidades, com provável efeito pleiotrópico. Além disso, foram apontados quatro genes candidatos (Glyma.15g034400, Glyma.15g050900, Glyma.15g063000 e Glyma.15g070700). No terceiro capítulo foi realizado o desenvolvimento de uma população de linhagens quase isogênicas (Near Isogenic Lines - NILs) com o objetivo de analisar um loci de características quantitativas (QTL) na linha de soja BR8014887 e posteriormente comprovar o possível gene causal. Os dados apresentados apresentaram importantes discussões sobre a região acerca do Glyma.20g084500, no cromossomo 20. O Glyma.20g084500 é o único gene presente na região alvo e pode ser o gene causal associado ao aumento do conteúdo da proteína. Palavras-chave: Óleo. Proteína. SNP. Melhoramento genético.
Análise e compilação de terminologias em libras para expressarem conceitos de ciências da natureza
Authors:   , Pizano Gabriel Lima
Published: December 2023

O acesso aos conteúdos de Ciências da Natureza pelos estudantes Surdos pressupõe mobilizar diferentes terminologias em Libras para apresentar os conceitos da Biologia, Física e Química no âmbito educacional. Assim, realizamos uma pesquisa exploratória de natureza qualitativa, tendo como técnica investigativa a documentação indireta feita por meio de um levantamento bibliográfico. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa nas plataformas Scielo, Portal de Periódicos Capes, além do Google. Os resultados encontrados apontaram poucas pesquisas sobre construções terminológicas no âmbito das Ciências, mesmo sendo verificada a proposição de 1034 sinais-termo para a Biologia, 390 para a Física e 313 para a Química, dispersos em diferentes plataformas. Na sequência, analisamos e categorizamos esses sinais-termo, que resultou na proposição de cinco categorias emergente primárias (datilológica, icônica, arbitrária, contextual e conceitual) e dez secundárias. As análises nos mostraram que poucos sinais-termo propostos para a área de Ciências da Natureza traziam aspectos conceituais, o que reforça a importância de a equipe responsável por criar terminologias técnicos-científicos ser composta por profissionais conhecedores da Língua de Sinais e dos conceitos científicos em estudo. Além disso, identificamos uma significativa dispersão dos sinais-termos e a falta deles para muitos conceitos. Verificamos ainda que há vários sinais-termos para um mesmo conceito científico, o que nos permitiu inferir que a dispersão, a falta de validação e de divulgação não favorecem a legitimação e o avanço terminológico neste campo de estudo, com o acúmulo de muitas propostas de sinais-termo para alguns conceitos de base, enquanto muitos outros não são contemplados. Assim, indicamos aqui algumas lacunas relativas ao léxico especializado em Libras para os conceitos de Ciências da Natureza, além das diversas propostas terminológicas para um mesmo termo e a falta de incorporação conceitual ao sinal-termo, podendo com isso criar barreiras e abstrações que dificultam o acesso dos Surdos aos conhecimentos científicos. Dessa forma, com base nos resultados e nas discussões apresentadas, organizamos um sinalário de Ciências da Natureza como produto educacional, a fim de contribuir para que o direito linguístico dos Surdos seja assegurado, de modo especial no âmbito educacional, facilitando as buscas terminológicas dos Intérpretes Educacionais e professores bilíngues, além de indicar a possibilidade de pesquisas futuras sobre a proposição de terminologias em Libras para esta área.

The coronavirus pandemic has put the education system around the world to the test. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the school was conditioned to operate in a digitized environment, which determined the most unexpected psycho-educational and social experiences at the level of educational decision-makers, but also at the level of beneficiaries. Contrary to the fears of parents and teachers, in particular, regarding the difficulty of carrying out online activities, the data of our research showed that the use of new information technologies and educational platforms has proven to be the most important mobile of learning. Although there are insignificant differences between the answers provided by parents in the two research groups, special education and mainstream education, we appreciate that parents of special education students are more satisfied with the educational process specific to online school, because they are more involved in the educational activity of their children. The teachers, for their part, positively appreciate the educational involvement of the students during the online school period.

From the moment we are born, until we reach adulthood, we depend on our parents and those who raise us. We have the need to create and form relationships, and, in order to be able to create them in a healthy, stable and harmonious way, it is fundamental to learn about the attachment patterns. The hypothesis of our research was to validate our own questionnaire measuring attachment patterns in adulthood. The tools we used were the questionnaires applied successively, and the first was the one containing the 117 items made up by us. After eliminating the questions that did not respect the normality, we applied the final form of the questionnaire, which includes 90 items. We used the Read and Collins Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) to help us validate our own measurement questionnaire, so we calculated the Alpha Cronbach coefficient, which indicated a high understanding for all three attachment styles, due to the fact that the coefficient values are greater than 0.6. This result indicates that our tool has consistency. Following the application of the Split-Half method, we obtained correlations that confirmed fidelity and consistency, being positive, between sets of questions in the case of scales that measure anxious, avoidant and secure attachment style, so we concluded the validity of questionnaires. The last part of the project boils down to identify the differences between women and men in the attachment style.

Risk management plays a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of an organization's operations. At the Surabaya Navigation Polytechnic, Bung Tomo's training vessel became the backbone for cadets to undergo navigation training. However, it is important to acknowledge that the ship's operational activities are not exempt from potential risks. Therefore, the study aims to identify potential obstacles or issues that may arise in the implementation of risk management at the Tomo Training Ship. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, prioritizing an in-depth understanding of the observed phenomena. Various data collection techniques, such as observations, interviews, and documentation, are used to gain comprehensive insights. The results of this study reveal that the Engine of Tomo's Training Ship faces the highest level of risk. It's related to the fact that the ship hasn't undergone a major dock process since it was officially inaugurated six years ago, causing frequent damage. Therefore, risk management focused on the engine aspects becomes an urgent need to minimize potential interference in ship operations. Precautionary measures, periodic maintenance, and possible risk reduction must be implemented carefully to ensure the safety and reliability of the Tomo Brother's Training Ship during the cadets' sailing training.

The complexity of Indonesia's waste problem can be attributed to the lack of awareness among the general public regarding the potential repercussions of garbage. Another element that contributes to the issue is the increasing standard of living within the community. However, there is a lack of agreement on waste management practises and a lack of community engagement in maintaining cleanliness and effective trash disposal. The data utilized in this study were collected by several methods, including direct observation, semi-structured interviews, review of secondary material, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. There are numerous factors that contribute to the unreasonable behaviour exhibited by respondents. The decision-making process and behavioural patterns of individuals are significantly influenced by various internal elements, particularly those of a psychological nature. The research showed that highly significant number of respondents have adequate knowledge regarding waste separation and the notion of what they should do for environmentally sound village, but 64% still burn their garbage and 76% not separating  it. Various individual variables and psychological situations, such as confirmation bias, might contribute to environmentally unfriendly behaviour, despite individuals possessing adequate knowledge. Even the presence of appropriate trash disposal options may have limited impact on altering their behaviour. The subsequent topic of discussion pertains to the presence of biassed behaviour, which can significantly influence individuals' decision-making processes, particularly in relation to activities such as burning waste. While individuals may possess a cognitive awareness and express their thoughts explicitly in this regard, it is often the case that their motivations unconsciously shape their judgements, often without their own realisation. For instance, individuals who refute the degradation of their surroundings sometimes remain unaware of how their inclination towards maintaining a clean home or backyard bias their evaluation of the available in-formation they already gain. Based on the findings of the research, it can be observed that a significant proportion of individuals residing in Bendungan Village engage in the practise of waste disposal.

Regulation of Sanctions and Supporting Measures for the Enforcement of Laws against Human Trafficking in Indonesia
Authors: Dian Ety Mayasari
Published: December 2023

Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Criminal Act of Human Trafficking has been enacted in Indonesia. Nevertheless, the government of this country cannot independently eradicate human trafficking and requires collaboration with other countries, given the organized nature of this criminal act, where one country may function as the sender, and another as the recipient. This paper employs a normative juridical method that prioritizes literature review, emphasizing legal regulations and literature pertaining to the crime of human trafficking. The occurrence of human trafficking is not solely attributed to the weakness in law enforcement but is also influenced by factors such as poverty, patriarchal culture, and economic incentives. Law enforcement in Indonesia cannot operate independently but requires cooperation with other countries, considering Indonesia's geographically strategic position as both a transit hub and a source of human trafficking. This collaboration is crucial in the processes of apprehension, extradition, and prosecution of individuals involved in human trafficking, making a significant contribution to the efforts to eradicate this crime.
