Authors: Chacón Sofia , Benavides Edinson , Pantoja Andrés , Obando Germán
Published: July 2024

La optimización desempeña un papel crucial en la planificación y operación de los sistemas de gestión de energía, reduciendo costos y evitando pérdidas en su generación, disminuyendo, además, las emisiones de carbono. Lo anterior se da teniendo en cuenta el equilibrio entre oferta y demanda y el aprovechamiento de los recursos energéticos distribuidos (DER, por sus siglas en inglés). Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo proponer un esquema generalizado de comunidad energética, donde los generadores que componen una microrred suplen la demanda de esta o de las microrredes vecinas. Es de considerar que cada generador de energía tiene una función de costos asociada a esta, y existe una penalización, o costo de transmisión, cuando un DER, ubicado en una microrred definida, envía energía a la microrred vecina. Con el fin de abordar las restricciones, se propuso, como metodología de solución, un enfoque basado en juegos poblacionales, en conjunto con la técnica de relajación lagrangiana. Los resultados obtenidos fueron la aplicación del modelo y método de solución en tres diferentes escenarios. Además, se comparó el desempeño de la solución propuesta con la respuesta de un método de optimización convencional, logrando despachos similares y errores mínimos en comparación con la técnica tradicional. La investigación demostró que la combinación de conceptos de juegos poblacionales y técnicas de relajación lagrangiana permiten asumir restricciones que son de difícil manejo para la dinámica de replicadores. Finalmente, se concluye que el modelo es una buena herramienta para abordar problemas de gestión de energía que implican cumplir con la demanda por región en un escenario peer to peer.

Published: July 2024

A esperança é um constructo multidimensional, orientado por atributos motivacionais e cognitivos do indivíduo, trata-se uma dimensão intrínseca no cuidado de pacientes com câncer nos diferentes ambientes de prática clínica.  Esta análise tem como objetivo refletir sobre o constructo da esperança no paciente com câncer avançado, apoiado nas etapas do ciclo de reflexão da experiência (descrição; sentimentos; avaliação; análise; plano de ação e conclusões). Nos diferentes contextos de cuidados, somos confrontados com pacientes que desconhecem o estágio de câncer avançado e os objetivos do tratamento. Tal situação resulta em múltiplos vieses, esperança exacerbada ou de cura não realista e potencializa o sofrimento psicoemocional. A comunicação compreensível promove a sobrevida com qualidade, autotranscendência e a morte pacífica. Para (não) concluir, a compreensão da experiência humana da pessoa com câncer e a comunicação qualitativa devem ser a base para nortear o plano de cuidados na promoção da esperança para além da doença avançada, visto que a esperança é algo positivo e essencial para a salutogênese.

Authors: Shrestha Ram , Neupane Prabhat , Dhital Sujan , Parajuli Nirmal , Maharjan Binita , Shrestha Timila , Bharati Samjhana , Marasini Bishnu , Adhikari Subin
Published: July 2024

In recent times, there has been a notable increase in the prevalence of
Alzheimer?s disease. The disease could be managed through the inhibition of
acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme associated with the degradation of
acetylcholine. Plants have been used to treat neurogenerative diseases and
their phytochemicals could act as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, impeding
the protein?s catalytic activity. This study includes a computational
assessment of phytocompounds as potent inhibitors of the enzyme. The
molecular docking calculations revealed binding affinities of -50.651
kJ/mol, -49.446 kJ/mol, - 48.400 kJ/mol, -47.977 kJ/mol, -47.839 kJ/mol, and
-47.417 kJ/mol for allanxanthone B, stigmasterol, 5'-O-methyl dioncophylline
D, ismailin, wistin and dioncophylline C2, respectively indicating firm
binding of these molecules with the receptor. Donepezil (a native and
FDA-approved drug) exhibited a binding affinity of -46.789 kJ/mol, which was
significantly lower than that of the proposed phytochemicals. The hit
candidates demonstrated good stability of the complex with the protein,
showing smooth RMSD of ligands below 6 ? from the 200 ns molecular dynamics
simulation. The thermodynamic stability from the MMPBSA method indicated the
sustained spontaneity and feasibility of the adducts. Thus, the proposed hit
candidates could be used as remedies for Alzheimer?s disease after
experimental verification for their safety and efficacy.
Amphibian conservation action plan: A status review and roadmap for global amphibian conservation
Authors:   IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group
Published: July 2024

As the most threatened vertebrate class on earth, amphibians are at the forefront of the biodiversity crisis, with the recognition of global amphibian declines and extinctions dating back several decades now. The current Amphibian Conservation Action Plan is adopting two strategies to address the goal of the amelioration of the amphibian crisis: the development of two complementary documents that work to 1) synthesise developments in major themes of amphibian conservation over the last 15 years, as in this document, and 2) summarise the key findings and recommendations to a broader audience in a user-friendly way (a practitioner document that will follow this synthesis document). The purpose is thus to provide the most up-to-date evidence on threats and approaches to amphibian conservation, and from there identify gaps and priorities that can then be disseminated and adopted by stakeholders across the globe.

Increased plasma levels of glucagon (hyperglucagonemia) promote diabetes development but are also observed in patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This may reflect hepatic glucagon resistance toward amino acid catabolism. A clinical test for measuring glucagon resistance has not been validated. We evaluated our glucagon sensitivity (GLUSENTIC) test, which consists of 2 study days: a glucagon injection and measurements of plasma amino acids and an infusion of mixed amino acids and subsequent calculation of the GLUSENTIC index (primary outcome measure) from measurements of glucagon and amino acids. To distinguish glucagon-dependent from insulin-dependent actions on amino acid metabolism, we also studied patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The δ-decline in total amino acids was 49% lower in MASLD following exogenous glucagon (P = 0.01), and the calculated GLUSENTIC index was 34% lower in MASLD (P < 0.0001) but not T1D (P > 0.99). In contrast, glucagon-induced glucose increments were similar in control participants and participants with MASLD (P = 0.41). The GLUSENTIC test and index may be used to measure glucagon resistance in individuals with obesity and MASLD.

Optogenetics in Pancreatic Islets: Actuators and Effects
Authors: Gangemi Christina G. , Janovjak Harald
Published: July 2024

The islets of Langerhans reside within the endocrine pancreas as highly vascularized microorgans that are responsible for the secretion of key hormones, such as insulin and glucagon. Islet function relies on a range of dynamic molecular processes that include Ca2+ waves, hormone pulses, and complex interactions between islet cell types. Dysfunction of these processes results in poor maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis and is a hallmark of diabetes. Recently, the development of optogenetic methods that rely on light-sensitive molecular actuators has allowed perturbation of islet function with near physiological spatiotemporal acuity. These actuators harness natural photoreceptor proteins and their engineered variants to manipulate mouse and human cells that are not normally light-responsive. Until recently, optogenetics in islet biology has primarily focused on controlling hormone production and secretion; however, studies on further aspects of islet function, including paracrine regulation between islet cell types and dynamics within intracellular signaling pathways, are emerging. Here, we discuss the applicability of optogenetics to islets cells and comprehensively review seminal as well as recent work on optogenetic actuators and their effects in islet function and diabetes mellitus.

Active control effect of shielding gas flow on high-power fiber laser welding plume
Authors: Zou Jianglin , Xie Shun , Kong Hua , Liu Tao , Fang Chao , Wu Qiang
Published: July 2024

Plume are common physical phenomena in fiber laser keyhole welding and have serious negative effects on the welding process. Based on this, this paper explores the regulation law of conventional shielding gas flow on plume. The results show that the shielding gas has a very significant effect on the suppression of the slender part of the plume, and the greater the gas flow rate, the better the plume removal effect. The addition of the shielding gas makes the welding process more stable, the molten pool flows stably, and the frequency of spatter eruption is reduced. Under the experimental conditions, the optimal shielding gas flow rate is around 15 l/min, and the penetration depth and width are increased by about 10% and decreased by about 22%, respectively, compared with that without adding the shielding gas. Based on the gas flow simulation, the gas flow pressure (about 132 Pa) generated by an appropriate amount of shielding gas (about 15 l/min) can press the liquid column and spatter near the keyhole mouth into the molten pool to avoid the spatter eruption. Excessive shielding gas flow will interfere with the flow of the molten pool excessively, and the weld surface will show a serious undercut phenomenon.

Authors: Kibenko Lyubov , Popadych Olena
Published: July 2024

The article examines current problems and vectors for development of higher education in Ukraine under martial law. It is noted that the impact of the war on the educational process has significant consequences: the transition to distance and blended learning, the departure of students and teachers abroad, the destruction of educational institutions at all levels; mobilisation of students and teachers, reduction in funding, resettlement and evacuation of the population. Based on this analysis, the strategic vectors of development are discussed, including measures to ensure access to education for all segments of the population, support for internally displaced persons, modernisation of programmes and teaching methods, improving the security of the educational space and attracting international support; integration into the European and global space, taking into account national interests; harmonisation of the Ukrainian higher education system with European standards and practices; improvement of the education management system and ensuring the autonomy of higher education institutions; and ensuring the safety of the population. The study shows that the war not only poses challenges to the higher education system, but also opens up new opportunities for its reform and development in response to current challenges.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN ENGLISH: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Maksymova Anna
Published: July 2024

The aim of this paper is to identify the influence of the British population and other nations on the formation of the American English language. Dissatisfaction with the church, living conditions in England led to the search for another, more ideal place to live. Coming to the territories of America, the British did not have the perfect British pronunciation, as a result of which dialects prevailed in this territory. In America, preserving the canonical Old English language, American English under the influence of life circumstances, the growing number of emigrants from different countries, and climatic conditions began to gradually change. After the declaration of independence in the USA, the new words were very different from British English. Regionalization influenced the formation of idioms (fixed expressions) that received a regional tone. Phrases that from the point of view of British English are unacceptable and are a complete violation of English grammar are easily used in the USA and are considered acceptable. The declaration of independence of the United States, obtaining political freedom by citizens gave the opportunity to freely use sounds, words, and expressions. However, in general, the American continent is making its own changes in the development of the English language, which are not perceived by the British. The close economic connection between the countries has prevented radical changes in the American English language and promotes intercultural exchange between the countries.
REVIVAL OF THE EVIL EMPIRE AS A THREAT TO HUMANITY
Authors: Chekalenko Liudmyla
Published: July 2024

Empires are an extraordinary phenomenon in the history of mankind. The study of empires requires scientific understanding, thoughtful comparison and deep analysis. Such way of studding the comparative approach of the problem has arisen that will help us understand the nature of the emergence and disappearance of imperial formations, find answers to difficult questions: how empires grew, for what reasons some of them were powerful and others weak, why some empires disappeared and others flourished (John Hutchinson, 2017). Is there a connection between the instability of power, coups and the death of empires? And finally, what are the consequences for world development of the disappearance of imperial formations. Among the reasons for the demise of empires, researchers single out political and economic problems, social and cultural issues, and environmental challenges. The author of the article tries to explain how the Moscow Empire was formed and how the Russian Empire manages to survive despite a number of dangerous challenges. In the submitted article prof. L.Chekalenko for the first time revealed the phenomenon of "saving" the empire in historical and political dimensions. The author discovered that Russia was saved by its vassals – conquered peoples. So, the article examines the factors that support and revive imperial formations, and also makes cautious assumptions about the future scenarios of the development of events surrounding the current situation.

Predicting the supplier relationship management system’s magnificence and investigating its effect on corporate shareholder value via the mediating role of marketing brand strength: A SEM-ANN hypered approach
Authors: Aburayya Ahmad
Published: July 2024

Purpose—In the business sector, reliable and timely data are crucial for business management to formulate a company’s strategy and enhance supply chain efficiency. The main goal of this study is to examine how strong brand strength affects shareholder value with a new Supplier Relationship Management System (SRMS) and to find the specific system qualities that are linked to SRMS adoption. This leads to higher brand strength and stronger shareholder value. Design/Methodology/Approach—This study employed a cross-sectional design with an explanatory survey as a deductive technique to form hypotheses. The primary method of data collection used a drop-off questionnaire that was self-administered to the UAE-based healthcare suppliers. Of the 787 questionnaires sent to the healthcare suppliers, 602 were usable, yielding a response rate of 76.5%. To analyze the data gathered, the study used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques. Findings—The study’s data proved that SRMS adoption and brand strength positively affected and improved healthcare suppliers’ shareholder value. Additionally, it demonstrates that user satisfaction is the most significant predictor of SRMS adoption, while the results show that the mediating role of brand strength is the most significant predictor of shareholder value. The results demonstrated that internally derived constructs were better explained by the ANN technique than by the PLS-SEM approach. Originality/Value—This study demonstrates its practical value by offering decision-makers in the healthcare supplier industry a reference on what to avoid and what elements to take into account when creating plans and implementing strategies and policies.
Exploring walking choices in urban green streetscapes through the lens of the theory of planned behavior
Authors: Tong Jia , Maliki Nor Zarifah
Published: July 2024

This study employed the theory of planned behavior to examine how green urban spaces influence walking behaviors, with a focus on Chongqing’s Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street. Using structural equation modelling to analyse survey data from 401 respondents, this study assessed the relationships between attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, walking intentions, and actions. The results revealed that attitudes toward walking (β = 0.335, p < 0.001) and subjective norms (β = 0.221, p < 0.001) significantly predict walking intentions, which strongly determine actual walking behavior (β = 0.379, p < 0.001). Moreover, perceived behavioral control exerts a direct significant impact on walking actions (β = 0.332, p < 0.001), illustrating that both environmental and social factors are crucial in promoting pedestrian activity. These findings suggest that enhancing the appeal and accessibility of urban green spaces can significantly encourage walking, providing valuable insights for urban planning and public health policy. This study can guide city planners and health professionals in creating more walkable and health-conducive urban environments.

Tematyka żydowska w badaniach uczonych Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym
Authors: Olejnik Karol
Published: July 2024

Jedną z najważniejszych kwestii dwudziestolecia międzywojennego była ta związana z mniejszością żydowską. Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie: czy i w jakim stopniu znajdowała ona swoje odbicie w badaniach uniwersyteckich antropologów, historyków, filologów, a może i innych specjalności. Czy wyniki tych dociekań pozostawały jedynie na kartach mniejszych lub większych elaboratów – a ich znajomość była udziałem wąskiego grona, czy też niejako „wychodziły” one poza mury uczelni i tym samym wpływały na postawy (co najmniej) młodzieży studenckiej czy szeroko rozumiany klimat miasta i regionu. Kwestia ta wydaje się interesująca tym bardziej, że o ile stosunkowo łatwo można odnotować np. antysemickie działania części studentów (tak w murach uczelni, jak i poza nią) – co znakomicie obrazuje wydana kilka lat temu obszerna publikacja – to z reguły poza sferą zainteresowań pozostaje problem tego „cichego” (gabinetowego, książkowego) antysemityzmu uniwersyteckich luminarzy. Jeżeli natomiast okaże się to faktem, to dobrze będzie zastanowić się nad pytaniem: jak to było możliwe, że ci nietuzinkowi myśliciele głosili takie poglądy? Czy zatem antysemityzm potrafił – i w jakim zakresie – zdominować dociekania naukowe? Te szczegółowe kwestie zostały poprzedzone krótkim omówieniem genezy antysemityzmu na ziemiach polskich na przełomie XIX/XX stulecia.

Authors: Ashraf Bushra , Amin Muhammad , Mahmood Tahir , Faisal Muhammad
Published: July 2024

The study proposed and compared the biased estimators for the Poisson-Inverse Gaussian regression model to deal with correlated regressors. The limitations of each biased estimator are also discussed. Additionally, some biasing parameters for the Stein estimator are proposed. The performance of estimators is evaluated with the help of a simulation study and a real-life application based on the minimum mean squared error criterion. The simulation and application findings favor the ridge estimator with specific biasing parameters because it provides less variation than others.

Authors: Jia Liang , Zhang Duo
Published: July 2024

To explore the influence of interlocking depth and block number on the compressive performance of interlocking block masonry, seven kinds of interlocking depth and three kinds of block number are selected, and ABAQUS software is used to carry out numerical simulation analysis. The results show that when the interlocking depth is 10 mm, the compressive performance of masonry is better. With the increase in the number of blocks, the compressive strength of masonry decreases gradually. Based on the numerical simulation results, a recommended formula for the average compressive strength of interlocking block masonry is proposed.
