There are two main approaches to motion control on parallel platforms: joint space control and workspace control. Joint space control is an easy-to-implement semi-closed-loop strategy, but its control effect could be better. The workspace control is to obtain the real-time position of the parallel platform through the forward solution and close the speed and position loop of the parallel platform in the workspace. This paper uses a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) to control the parallel platform with workspace control as the research goal. The loss function is constructed based on the swarm intelligence optimization idea, and the adaptive difference algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of MPC. This part uses MATLAB to perform simulation experiments to complete the S-shaped velocity trajectory planning algorithm. In addition, the control effect of MPC and position-loop PI controller in a robust disturbance environment is compared. Experiments show that MPC has the advantages of low energy consumption and high control accuracy.

The use of lamps worldwide is rapidly increasing, and the number of broken, burned-out, and defective lamps is very significant, polluting the environment. For this reason, we will address the topic of lamp recycling using magnetic induction technology. This paper presents induction separation by an innovative, improved induction separator design with an important advantage. It extracts aluminum particles from a mixture of waste materials, including non-metallic and non-ferrous particles from broken neon lamps. The induction separator features a single vertical disk rotated by an electric motor. The disk has a series of permanent magnets mounted alternately on its surface. The experimental results of the separation process achieved through an induction separator exhibit a high purity level, boasting a 100% separation efficiency, surpassing the performance of previous separators. These findings substantiate the validity of employing the induction separator to recycle conductive materials.

Published: September 2024

The present study proposes a feedforward angle droop strategy based on a discrete-time mathematical model for operation dispatchable distributed generation (DG) units connected directly or through voltage source converters (VSC) to the microgrid. These units should supply their local and common loads. Droop coefficients should be increased to improve power division between different DG units. Also, a time delay in systems’ state variables and controller input is a disruptive parameter for the control system's performance. These two parameters have negative effects on network stability. To ensure the stability of the closed-loop system, a predictive sliding mode controller can be used based on discrete-time systems. However, this strategy cannot reduce the chattering phenomenon. This paper discusses the effect of time delay and increases in droop angle coefficients on the whole system and how these impacts can be eliminated. So, a combination of integral sliding mode controller (ISMC), composite nonlinear feedback (CNF), and sliding mode learning control (SMC), which is called hybrid SMC, is used with an angle droop controller.
Comparison of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and technological developments on emissions of CO2 in the air transport
Authors: Čubić Marija , Török Adam
Published: September 2024

Air transport is a complex and intricate mode of transportation that has both benefits and consequences resulting from the operations of planes. Air travel offers the advantage of saving time during journeys or business visits, but it also has the disadvantage of contributing to carbon dioxide emissions caused by aircraft operations. These emissions present potential risks to both human health and the environment. In order to reduce the negative impacts, new technical advancements can be utilized to limit emissions and, consequently, the discharge of carbon dioxide. The COVID-19 epidemic caused an unprecedented situation where flights were temporarily suspended and aircraft were grounded, leading to a significant decrease in emissions from airline operations. This research utilizes graphical representations to clarify the main factors that lead to reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, it examines the effects of particular advancements in air transportation and assesses the impact of the pandemic on the overall decrease in emissions.

Authors: Saoud Hamid Kadhim
Published: September 2024

The biological efficiency of the parasitoid Apanteles plutellae and the Insect Growth Inhibitor IGR Trigard 75 WP to control the pomegranate fruit worm Ectomyelois ceratoniae(Zell.) was studied. The duration of exposure of the host larvae positively affected the efficiency of the parasite and its biological performance with different exposure durations of 72, 48, and 24 hours. The rate of eggs laid by females also increased directly with increasing time period, as the percentage of larvae infected by the parasite reached 90% at the time period exposure for 72 hours. The number of parasite larvae and pupae produced reached 52.50 and 35.75, respectively, for the same period, while the percentage of infected host larvae was 35.75%. The number of parasite larvae and pupae was 12.00 and 8.0, respectively, at 24-hour exposure period. The IGR Trigard showed a clear effect in the second larval instar, as the rates of cumulative mortality in larvae increased, the duration of the larval instar increased, and the rates of pupation and adult emergence rates decreased with increasing concentrations of the IGR compared to low concentrations. The results showed a direct relationship between the concentration of the IGR Trigard rates with the larvae's mortality, as the highest cumulative mortality rate reached 85.00% after 12 days of treatment at a concentration of 5000ppm. The duration of the larval instar was 4.33 days, the pupation rate was 6.22% at the same concentration, and the emergence rate of adults was 0.00%. As for the effect of the IGR on the fourth larval instar, the highest cumulative mortality rate was 80.00% at the concentration of 5000ppm after 12 days of treatment, which differed significantly from the other treatments, as well as the control treatment, which recorded a mortality rate of 20%. As for the effect on the duration of the fourth larval instar, the results of the statistical analysis indicated that there were no significant differences between the concentrations, and the highest duration was 12.33days, the results of adult emergence were the lowest, 0.00% at the two concentrations of 4000 and 5000 ppm, compared to 90.00% in the control treatment.

Exploring Themes, Narrative Progression And Character Development In Hoover’s It Ends With Us: A Pragmatic Analysis
Authors: Baig Dr. Fatima Zafar
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of speech acts on character development, plot development, and thematic exploration in Hoover's novel It Ends with Us. The research examines how these speech acts shape the narrative and deepen readers' understanding of the characters' internal and external conflicts by utilizing John Searle's taxonomy of illocutionary acts—assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations. Commissives highlight promises and commitments central to character motivations, expressives reveal emotional depth, and declarations mark pivotal moments that alter the story's reality. Assertive speech acts reveal characters' beliefs; directives propel the plot through influencing actions. The study emphasizes the significance of expressive speech acts in reinforcing themes of love, resilience, and personal development and revealing the emotions of characters. This study contributes to literary linguistics by [1]demonstrating how speech acts function as essential tools for storytelling and meaning-making in contemporary literature by analyzing the nuanced interactions between language use and narrative construction. The results shed more light on how Hoover's thematic exploration, narrative progression, and character dynamics are influenced by language.

Published: September 2024

Music plays a vital role in human culture and development, offering therapeutic benefits that can enhance cognitive and emotional well-being. This is particularly significant for visually impaired individuals who may face unique challenges in these areas. Previous studies have established the benefits of music interventions in improving executive functions in the visually impaired community. We assessed the impact of music therapy interventions on the executive functions and emotional well-being of visually impaired youth residing in a home for the visually impaired in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Utilizing a quantitative research design, our study systematically assesses working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive function through standardized assessments while considering the significance of using cultural music for the therapy. To evaluate the role of cultural alignment in music therapy, the study was divided into two arms: one utilizing Tamil Carnatic music and the other utilizing Western classical music. These groups were chosen to compare the effects of culturally relevant music therapy against a more universally recognized form of music therapy. Our findings reveal statistically significant enhancements in working memory, inhibitory control, and emotional well-being within both the Tamil Carnatic and Western classical music therapy groups. Subsequently, an intergroup analysis, which compared the improvements in working memory, inhibitory control, and emotional well-being between the two groups, emphasizes the influence of cultural alignment. Our study underscores the importance of culturally relevant curricula in music therapy for visually impaired individuals, thus emphasizing the importance of cultural sensitivity and the potential benefit of increasing musical presence in the lives of the visually impaired community.
Memórias outras da ditadura: repressão e trauma histórico em “Alguma coisa urgentemente”, conto de João Gilberto Noll
Authors: Baião Camila Teixeira Gabriel
Published: September 2024

O artigo analisa o conto “Alguma coisa urgentemente”, de João Gilberto Noll, por uma perspectiva que considera as marcas da repressão durante a ditadura militar no Brasil, bem como o trauma histórico que ela representa, pela narrativa memorialística do protagonista, filho de perseguido político. O texto, que dá voz a uma geração esquecida, desvela o drama traduzido no estado de vulnerabilidade a que filhos das vítimas do arbítrio estatal foram expostos. Evidencia-se o conceito de trauma como ferida que transborda a capacidade humana de percepção e que assola particularmente nossa relação com a linguagem, isto é, com a representação. No conto, situações de abandono, perseguição, medo e insegurança são determinantes na construção de uma identidade em conflito, na qual se observa o nível de desorientação cognitiva ecomportamental do sujeito. Tais reações refletem no léxico e no ritmo da narrativa, que gradativamente alcança um determinado ponto de complexidade linguística, à medida em que o filho se vê sozinho e impotente diante das situações de excesso.
Palavras-chave: Ditadura militar brasileira. Repressão. Trauma histórico. Conto.
AbstractThis paper analyzes the short story "Alguma coisa urgentemente", by João Gilberto Noll, from a perspective that considers the marks of repression during the military dictatorship in Brazil, as well as the historical trauma it represents through the memorialistic narrative of the protagonist, son of a politically persecuted man. The text, which provides a voice to a forgotten generation, unveils the hardship translated into the state of vulnerability to which the children of victims of state arbitrary rule were exposed. The concept of trauma is highlighted as a wound that overflows human capacity for perception and that particularly devastates our relationship with language, that is, of representation. In the short story, situations of abandonment, persecution, fear, and insecurity are determining in the construction of a conflicted identity, in which the subject's level of cognitive and behavioral disorientation is observed. These reactions are reflected in the lexicon and rhythm of the narrative, which gradually reaches a certain point of linguistic complexity, as the son finds himself alone and powerless in the face of situations of excess.

A prática artesanal de fiar, especialmente o processo de esguedelhar, mobiliza esta pesquisa em um desejo de pensar cada relação que se estabelece entre corpos e materiais, cada modo de existir heterogêneo que se instaura, cada mundo que se inaugura. Apostamos em uma força pragmatista do pensamento, que percebe e dá a ver e sentir um pensamento em ato que ocorre nas práticas. Queremos experimentar o fiar em sua potência ontoepistemológica de criar novos modos de ser e pensar, atribuindo primazia aos processos de formação em vez de aos produtos finais, preferindo os fluxos dos materiais às propriedades e aos estados da matéria. Desse movimento de dar atenção às práticas emergem corpos mergulhados em relações ativas com os meios, abertos a devires emaranhados fiandeiras-jardineiras-cozinheiras-escritoras e propensos ao cultivo de um estado selvagem das linhas, dos corpos e da própria escrita-pesquisa.

Abstract
The artisanal practice of spinning, especially the process of disheveling, moves this research with the desire to think about the relationship that is established between bodies and materials, the heterogeneous mode of existence that is built, and the worlds that become pregnant. We  rely on a pragmatist mode of thought, which perceives and makes visible and felt the thought in action that takes place in practices. We want to experience relying on its onto-epistemological potency to create new ways of being and thinking, giving primacy processes of creation rather than final products, privileging the flow of materials rather than the properties and states of matter. From this movement of paying attention to practices, bodies immersed in active relationships with the means emerge, open to entangled becomings of spinners-gardeners-cooks-writers and prone to the cultivation of a wild potency of the lines-thread, bodies and research-writing itself.

Retrospective analysis of opioid use in patients with and without cryoneurolysis prior to total knee arthroplasty: a comparison cohort study
Authors: Wickline Andrew , Terentieva Stacy , Cole Windy
Published: September 2024

Introduction

Routine usage of opioids to manage pain in the post-operative period is commonplace following many orthopaedic procedures. As the trends of opioid abuse and addiction have been primarily linked to an increase in opioid prescriptions, more attention has been focused on reducing opioid prescriptions by managing postoperative pain via alternative methods. The objective of this study was to determine if cryoneurolysis within three months prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) resulted in reduced opioid consumption postoperatively.

Materials and Methods

An IRB approved retrospective review of 183 patients who underwent primary TKA between August 2022 and February 2023 was conducted. The primary outcome was postoperative opioid usage was compared between patients who received cryoneurolysis within three months prior to TKA compared with patients who did not receive cryoneurolysis preoperatively. Secondary outcomes included postoperative knee range of motion (ROM) and referral to physical therapy.

Results

No statistically significant difference was observed in postoperative opioid consumption for patients who underwent cryoneurolysis prior to TKA compared with patients who did not undergo cryoneurolysis prior to surgery.

Discussion

Although cryoneurolysis within three months prior to TKA failed to produce a statistically significant decrease in postoperative opioid consumption, the lead author’s preoperative treatment pathway did result in overall reduction in opioid consumption compared to previously published studies.

Conclusion

The results of this study suggest that cryoneurolysis within three months prior to TKA does not reduce patient postoperative opioid consumption.

Authors: Lu Taiyu
Published: September 2024

The background of this study is that with the advent of the big data era, e-commerce sales forecasting has become a key factor in improving the market competitiveness and economic benefits of enterprises. To solve this problem, we used machine learning technology to build a comprehensive sales forecasting system. By processing massive sales data, including data cleaning, label encoding, outlier processing and other steps, we established a complete data set. In terms of model selection, we tried multiple regression models, such as RandomForestRegressor [1], ExtraTreesRegressor, etc., and evaluated their performance through cross-validation. In order to solve the problem of data imbalance, a combination of oversampling technology (RandomOverSampler)[2] and normalization processing is used. Finally, we selected ExtraTreesRegressor as the best model and evaluated it on the training set. The research results show that the accuracy and reliability of sales forecasts can be improved by comprehensively processing sales data and selecting appropriate machine learning models. The contribution of this study in the field of e-commerce sales forecasting is to provide a comprehensive and practical solution, which provides important decision-making support for enterprises in market competition. Combining machine learning technology and data processing methods, we provide e-commerce companies with an effective sales forecasting strategy that is expected to have a positive impact in improving market competitiveness, reducing risk costs, and accelerating revenue growth [3]. Future research directions can be carried out in deeply exploring the characteristics of sales data, optimizing model parameter adjustment, and combining professional knowledge in more fields. Introducing more emerging machine learning algorithms and technologies to adapt to the changing market demands in the e-commerce field is expected to further improve the performance and adaptability of the sales forecasting system.
Three Effective Methods for Passivation of Perovskite Solar Cell Defects
Authors: Tang Daoyuan , Wang Tongshu , Wang Xiaoguang , Ren Bole , Ji Youan
Published: September 2024

Perovskite solar cells have garnered significant attention due to their outstanding photoelectric properties. However, the majority of widely used perovskite polycrystalline ion crystal films are prepared through solution treatment processes, which often lead to the formation of high-density defects during the crystallization process. These defects within the device can be quite severe and are a major contributor to non-radiative recombination, limiting the enhancement of photovoltaic performance and stability of solar cell devices. In this paper, we review the latest advancements in defect passivation strategies for perovskite crystals, encompassing Lewis acid, Lewis base, and Lewis acid-base synergy approaches. We delve into the regulatory mechanisms and passivation effects of these various strategies on perovskite surface/interface defects. Furthermore, we anticipate the application of these defect passivation techniques in future studies, hoping to further enhance the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells.
Review of Visualization in User Behavior Analysis
Authors: Shi Wenxuan
Published: September 2024

User behavior visualization as a powerful tool can help analysts better understand user behavior data. Previous research such as Information Architecture believes that a user journey map is the regular way to visualize user behavior patterns. The technique is a diagram that shows the steps, touch-points, and emotions that users go through when using their products or services.  Current studies mainly focus on the procedure and framework of applying user behavior data into visualization tools and its benefit to business development. Studies also found that visualization in user behavior analysis has difficulty in dealing with complex data. However, few studies have discussed the possible solution for the current limitation of visualization in user behavior analysis. With the popularization of the Internet and mobile devices, the scale and scale of user behavior data and the complexity will continue to increase, and user behavior visualization will be an important tool for analyzing this data, helping to tap potential business opportunities and improve the efficiency of data analysis. Therefore, we would make the review on visualization in user behavior analysis. We will first provide the background of the user behavior and its visualization and then introduce the definition of user behavior. Afterward, we will discuss the current process of visualization in user behavior analysis and its current limitations. Next, we will propose the possible solution of introducing machine learning, deep learning, predicting the data with a sequence model, and using cluster analysis with usability analysis tools to contribute to the future development of visualization in user behavior analysis. We believe that with data amount and scale keep increasing, the visualization tools need to develop themselves in diversity and data processing speed.
Application and division of automatic control system
Authors: Wang Yuqin
Published: September 2024

To make the machine operate optimally and produce the best possible results, we need to complete the following steps: set the goal, measure deviation, correct deviation, and develop control strategies by analyzing feedback mechanisms. The control objectives can be either a constant control to maintain a specific value or a following control to track a present trajectory. The system will measure the deviation between the actual output and the target output, and according to it, the system will generate the corresponding control signal to reduce the size of the deviation. This process involves comparing the difference between the actual output and the desired output and generating control instructions based on this difference.

This article first establishes a three-phase four pole permanent magnet synchronous motor model based on the motor parameters provided by the motor manufacturer. Then, finite element simulation calculations are carried out on this model to solve the three-phase induced electromotive force, three-phase magnetic flux, cogging torque, iron core loss, and eddy current loss of the permanent magnet synchronous motor when it is unloaded. The rationality of the motor design is verified through the solution results. Finally, the average core loss of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is reduced by 3.6% through parameterized simulation, and its operating efficiency is improved. The optimization design is carried out on it.

Water, as a critical natural resource in urban areas, faces severe pollution due to human production and living activities. Previous studies have shown that dissolved organic matter (DOM) significantly affects water quality. To deepen our understanding of the impact of colloidal particles on DOM, we conducted a comparative study on organic matter degradation by colloidal particles in environmental water and typical urban sewage. The experiments revealed that colloidal particles accelerate the photodegradation of DOM in all six experimental water bodies. This research is pivotal for solving the challenges of water pollution confronting society.

Authors: Zhang Ruoshui
Published: September 2024

As an important part of enterprise network security risk management, network security insurance provides loss compensation and risk underwriting for enterprises after the occurrence of network security events. At present, the cybersecurity insurance market continues to develop, and the insurance is aimed at the safety of property in the virtual network, in which when the enterprise is affected by the tort of a third party, resulting in damage to the virtual property, the effective exercise of subrogation rights greatly affects whether the insurance organization is willing to undertake to bear the risk, whether the insured is able to get the claim, and the application of the law. The place of occurrence of legal facts in cyberspace does not exist in the sense of the current law, therefore, the choice of jurisdiction is to apply the law of the location of the network operator, and to request the network service operator to assist in searching for the infringing web server Depending on the actual location of the third party in relation to the jurisdiction of the court, the right of subrogation is to be exercised by relying on the assistance of the local government.

Invasive plant species pose a significant threat to ecosystems worldwide. In this study, we developed a comprehensive model to assess the invasive potential of plant species, focusing on dandelions as a case study. Firstly, we simulated the growth of dandelions using a logistic-based model. We predicted the growth dynamics of dandelions throughout the year by considering environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, sunlight, etc. In conclusion, the populations of dandelions varied with higher observations and environmental conditions in a month. Next, we used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate the invasive potential of dandelion from five perspectives: natural energy, environmental impact, reproductive rate, medical use, and practical utility. The results show that reproductive rate and practical utility have more influence on the overall invasive potential of dandelions. To assess the sensitivity of our model, we conducted a sensitivity analysis. The developed model provides a valuable framework for assessing the invasive potential of plant species, which, combining growth simulation and invasive factor indicators, provides a comprehensive assessment of the invasive potential of dandelions. In conclusion, the model’s findings contribute to our understanding of invasion dynamics and can guide effective management strategies to mitigate the impacts of invasive plant species on ecosystems.

This research discusses the importance of sustainable marketing activities for the long-term success of companies. The research highlights the need for a multidimensional and systematic approach to understanding sustainable marketing by including the cultural dimension. Due to the lack of studies looking at the effect of four dimensions of sustainable marketing activities on customer loyalty, this study aims to test the effect of sustainable marketing activities on brand image, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. This research focuses on Generation Y and Z consumers in Greater Jakarta who are more concerned about sustainability issues and are aware of global fashion brands that have implemented ESG. Data from 218 samples selected using judgmental sampling were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings show that all dimensions of sustainable marketing activities significantly affect brand image, which sequentially influences customer satisfaction and loyalty. This study finds that cultural dimension has the greatest effect on brand image, while social dimension has the lowest effect. The positive brand image is found to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. These findings confirm the application of signaling theory, and further practical implications are provided based on the findings.

This study seeks to explore the impact of green advertising, eco-friendly packaging, and perceived green value on consumer purchasing decisions within the beverage industry, particularly in the bubble tea sector. Most bubble tea beverages are served in disposable plastic cups, lids, and straws, contributing to the accumulation of waste in Indonesia. Observing this issue, the Indonesian public has begun to feel a sense of guilt associated with the use of plastic packaging and prefers brands that incorporate sustainability in their packaging. Consequently, Chatime has initiated the implementation of green marketing by introducing the Eco Cup as an environmentally friendly alternative beverage packaging made from paper. Chatime promotes its Eco Cup to consumers through green advertising on Instagram. This study employs the SOR theory to explain how green advertising and green packaging serve as stimuli that partially influence green perceived value (the organism), ultimately leading to purchase decisions .(the response). Using a quantitative approach with a survey method, questionnaires were distributed to 400 respondents. The findings indicate that while green perceived value has an indirect impact, the direct influence of green advertising and green packaging on purchase decisions is more significant. The indirect effect of green packaging on purchase decisions through green perceived value is notable, as is the direct influence of green packaging on both green perceived value and purchase decisions. Green packaging plays a crucial role in shaping positive perceptions before individuals make a purchase
