The purpose of this work deals with the discretization of a second order linear wave equation by the implicit Euler scheme in time and by the spectral elements method in space. We prove that the adaptivity of the time steps can be combined with the adaptivity of the spectral mesh in an optimal way. Two families of error indicators, in time and in space, are proposed. Optimal estimates are obtained.
Decoding the impact of emotions: machine learning insights on user interests in social networks
Authors:   Information Technology Department, College of Computer and Information Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Henda Ouertani
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the correlation that exists between users' emotional states and their expressed interests in the context of social network. By utilizing cutting-edge machine learning methods, we set out to reveal the connections that underpin user behavior. Saudi Arabia is among the nations with the highest usage of X (previously Twitter). Several studies used the analysis of English tweets to determine the topic of interest and whether the user is passive or active. Studies that examined user interaction to ascertain interest have been conducted with reference to Arabic tweets. There are, however, few studies that track how an external factor, like emotions, affects interest over time. To investigate the relationship between interest and emotion, we used two models of supervised algorithms: Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Naïve Bayes. Once the topic of interests and emotions were classified, we discovered that the topic of interest had a higher accuracy than the emotion classifier because it had been applied to a sample of dataset. Furthermore, the SVM outperformed Naïve Bayes in terms of accuracy for classifying both topics of interest and emotions. Finally, the result indicates that the interests for specific user change over time according to the emotions.

Published: February 2024

This paper presents some experimental aspects related to the operation of asynchronous motors powered at variable voltage. A modern system for actuation of low-power asynchronous motors is presented, equipped with a voltage and frequency converter. Also, a data acquisition system is presented, with a sampling frequency of up to 100 kHz, supervised by an acquisition program that allows the visualization of the variations of the main characteristic sizes of the motor. The program contains both graphic interfaces developed by the manufacturer and by the authors of the paper. This program solves, among other things, an electromagnetic compatibility problem. The experimental tests carried out with the help of this system (in permanent non-sinusoidal regime at various power supply frequencies) are detailed. Technical details of the main system components are provided. The tests are accompanied by photos taken during the experiments and many original explanatory graphics. The authors' contributions are mainly in the software area. Thus, in the original program, a series of windows for harmonic analysis and visualization of the characteristic phasors of the analyzed electrical quantities were implemented. The paper ends with the main conclusions resulting from the completion of the study and with a representative bibliography.

Published: February 2024

The paper presents the mathematical support and the results of some simulations related to a new method of analyzing the stability of induction motors powered at variable frequency. After a brief introduction to the proposed issue, the mathematical model of the motor, written with relative values, is detailed. Taking this model as a starting point, a Matlab stability analysis program was created. By running this program, a series of graphs were obtained, detailed in the paper (two graphs are represented each, obtained for different conditions, which facilitate their comparison and obtaining conclusions). They refer to four specific cases regarding the modification of static inductance, rotor inductance, stator resistance and rotor resistance. Analyzing these graphs, the necessary conclusions were drawn. The conclusions are important, mainly in the design phase of the machine, to finalize the structure corresponding to the most stable operation of the drive system with asynchronous motor and static voltage and frequency converter. They highlight the influences of the most important parameters of the motor on the stability of the functioning of systems with such a structure. The paper ends with a representative bibliography for the proposed study.

Today's electrical networks, as part of the national power system, must meet a number of requirements imposed on power transmission and distribution equipment. The main requirements are: continuity of electricity supply to consumers, operational safety, quality of electricity supplied, development of networks, economic viability of investments, environmental impact requirements. In this context, the testing of the technical performance of the various elements that make up the electrical networks, both at the design stage and, in particular, at the certification stage, is of great importance and is regulated by internationally recognised technical standards and norms. The performance of tests under laboratory conditions requires the existence of specialised installations and equipment capable of generating the electrical parameters to which the various elements of electrical networks are subjected, for the purpose of performance testing and certification. The paper presents an installation for carrying out thermal tests on the current paths of electrical power equipment with a fully digital control system based on virtual instrumentation, which replaces the physical control panel made up of electronic modules and analogue devices. This enables the transition from primarily manual local control by the operator to remote control and eventually full automation of the thermal test process for medium and low voltage switchgear. By taking advantage of virtual instrumentation, the solution can be easily implemented and enhanced by integrating process control and computerisation applications.
Estimation of the Heating of Crimped Connections Based on Experimental Tests
Authors:   University of Craiova, Dolan Alin-Iulian
Published: February 2024

In this work, some analytical formulas based on experimental tests are presented that can be used to estimate the heating of the crimped connections used in construction of electrical machines, saving the experimenter from additional, long and expensive tests. The formulas are based on the energy balance equation and combine practical results obtained from previous steady-state heating cycles for a set of 6 crimped connections of the same type, at currents close to the nominal value. There are standards that allow the esti-mation of the heating of the elements in the circuit at small variations of the test current. Thus, based on the heating obtained at one value of the current, the heating at another, slightly different value can be estimated, without the need for the actual experiment. For a more accurate estimation, the variation with temperature of the electrical resistances of the 6 connectors must be taken into account, which allows the extension of the estimation range. In this case, if there are two heating cycles performed at two different values of the current, estimations can also be made at other values, much different from the two. A global temperature coefficient of resistance can be deduced that can simplify the formulas while keeping the precision, serving to estimate the average heating of the connectors. The formulas have been validated for several types of crimped connections used in the construction of electrical machines.

With the emergence of new types of diseases and viruses that can affect the human immune system, different types of vaccines and treatments have been developed to combat the new threats. Various technical methods have been developed to monitor the health status of a patient suffering from a certain ailment in order to certify the efficacy of a given treatment scheme. A way to monitor the health condition of a patient is proposed, based on the Arduino platform. The prototype can transmit data collected from a sensorial system and store them to a web server. The system is designed to monitor human body temperature with three temperature sensors placed on the head, body and lower limbs to obtain the average body temperature; an oximeter sensor for simultaneously monitoring the heart rate and the blood oxygen level of a patient; and two sensors for measuring indoor air quality, namely a gas sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor. This last sensor determines if a given bacteria or virus can thrive in the environment. A specialized software program was used to create the remote health monitoring prototype, which was subsequently manufactured using a 3D printer. The prototype is resilient and efficient, being appropriate for long-term use.

The aim of this paper is the comparative study of the behavior and performances of two photovoltaic power plants of different installed power, but which uses identical equipment. The difference in size is being given by the number of specific equipment used (the power inverters and solar panels). The plant behavior was investigated, as the injected active power is dependent on the available sunlight to the photovoltaic panels (and a larger plant leads to a larger panel area), as well as the influence of the power plants to the power grid, given the fact that a large power plant will inject more active power, and the grid local power transformer must be able to accept this power. The power plants efficiency was also investigated, as typically, the bigger the plant, the higher the efficiency must be. But, the efficiency depends on the generated active power (which must be high, to have a good efficiency) and in the case of photovoltaic power plants, the produced power depends on the available sunlight, and again, the bigger the plant, the bigger the panel area susceptible to be shaded. This gives the fact that although the injected power is higher for the bigger power plant, if the power of each inverter is below the rated power, the overall efficiency is lower compared to the small power plant which works at the rated power.

In order to efficiently and practically solve the problem of analyzing the performance of the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system of the power grid, this paper proposes to reconfigure the graphical user interface (GUI) in the substation, as well as to remap the signals according to the hardware structure used. After replacing the hardware solution with PLC and software for protocol conversion installed on the local HMI with a specialized remote terminal unit for data storage and protocol conversion in the substations, it is important to adapt the graphical user interface of the SCADA system according to the latest hardware configuration. This is necessary for the stability and reliability of the SCADA system. In the last part of the paper, the configuration of the graphical user interface of a SCADA system and the remapping of the signals in the specialized software in an electrical substation in Romania is presented and highlighted through screenshots.

Published: February 2024

Increasing the efficiency of photovoltaic panels using solar tracking systems is a current topic. The use of solar tracking systems is a solution, especially in low power applications. The paper presents two types of solar tracking systems, one based on astronomical data, and the other based on tracking the point of maximum illumination. Both systems are made on small scale for educational purposes. These systems can be used for the analysis of methods, principles and particularities in order to use them in practical applications. For the two experimental models of solar tracking made, the hardware and software structure are presented. To orient the photovoltaic panels in the two directions (East-West, respectively South-North) DC motors or stepper motors are used. One motor is used for each axis of rotation. Both structures have the control part composed of a microcontroller development system. This control method has the advantage that can significantly reduce the number of electronic components as well as the cost of designing and building of equipment. For the solar tracking system based on astronomical data, a remote monitoring and control system has been achieved. It uses a friendly graphic interface made on PC with the help of Visual Basic software. Both models were tested and the experimental results showed correct operation according to the imposed protocol. Finally, an energy efficiency analysis was done and it was found that the PV panel that uses the tracking systems produces 35% more energy compared to a fixed PV panel.

Published: February 2024

This study was conducted to examine the perceptions of employees at tertiary and general hospitals, which have passed the certification of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, regarding the objectives of the EMR certification program. The study was conducted from the perspectives of the public, medical institutions, and the industry. Data collection spanned from August 1 to October 31, 2022, involving responses from 1,187 employees across 11 or more accredited hospitals. The analysis included descriptive statistics, mean analysis, regression analysis, and Scheffé's analysis to understand the perceptions from the three different perspectives. The results revealed that from the public's perspective, the highest recognition was for “enhanced information security in medical information leading to the prevention of personal data breaches and security incidents” (t=-3.827, p<.01). From the perspective of medical institutions, the highest but not statistically significant recognition was for “improved clinical decision support such as medication warnings and effective history management of medical information, enabling safer and higher quality medical services” (f=-1.612). From the industrial perspective, there was high recognition for “the capability to meet market quality demands due to national recognition of EMR system quality standards” (f=-3.154, p<.01). Linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing the recognition of the objectives of the EMR certification system. The results showed that the model explained 27.4% of the variance for the public perspective, 26.9% for the medical institution perspective, and 28.6% for the industrial perspective, with all models being significant (P<.05). Following the implementation of the EMR certification system, medical institution employees positively perceived it from the perspectives of the public, medical institutions, and the industry. Future efforts should focus on enhancing system functionality awareness among employees, improving quality, and government and medical institutions should work together to enhance user interoperability of the system.

The analysis results were categorized into 11 themes in 4 areas. First, ‘Safe Home’ was the goal of this project and was a living space that provided emotional stability and protection to children. Second, the physical environment of the facility, the characteristics of children in care, the environment outside the facility and online have also become ‘child safety risk factors’ that affect the implementation of child safeguarding policy. Third, in the area of 'experience in child safeguarding policy practice', categories such as 'safety protection monitoring together', 'activities centered on child participation', 'project support that promotes practice', and 'implementation obstacles and limitations' were revealed. Fourth, as ‘changes resulting from the implementation of child safeguarding policies,’ participants reported ‘promotion of institutional safety culture,’ ‘strengthening safeguarding competency of workers,’ and ‘promotion of children’s safety rights.’ Based on the research results, practical suggestions and tasks for further research were presented for the application and spread of child safeguarding policy in residential centers and group homes for children.
The impact of structural ageing on crime trends: A South Australian case study
Authors: Rosevear Lisa
Published: February 2024

Official crime statistics suggest that young people aged 24 years and under make the greatest contribution to a population’s overall crime levels. A decline in the proportion of the population aged 24 years or under should therefore reduce the population’s crime levels. Yet the impact of structural ageing—the shift in population age structure from ‘young’ to ‘old’—in Australia is ‘one frequently overlooked influence on long-term crime trends’ (Weatherburn 2001: 2). This paper is one of two AIC publications (see also Rosevear forthcoming) that investigates the impact of structural ageing on crime patterns. A case study of the South Australian population is provided; a state where the relevant data was available to investigate how the declining proportion of younger people and increasing proportion of older people in the population has rseduced past crime levels and should reduce future crime levels. While the South Australian population is ageing at a greater rate than some other jurisdictions, this paper has national relevance as the populations in all states and territories are ageing to some degree and as this occurs, the impact on crime levels should be evident throughout Australia.
Assessing the social climate of Australian prisons
Authors: Day Andrew , Casey Sharon , Vess James , Huisy Gina
Published: February 2024

Although in some ways communities appear to be increasingly more risk aversive and punitive in their attitudes toward offenders, the development and proliferation of a range of rehabilitation programs that aim to address the problems that lead to offending represents an important component of contemporary criminal justice policy in Australia. This research is based on the premise that the social climate of a prison will exert a profound influence on rehabilitative outcomes. In this paper, the authors present their validation of the Essen Climate Evaluation Schema (EssenCES) measure of prison social climates and the findings offer further support for measuring and identifying the means by which a prison’s social climate can be assessed. It is proposed that the measure be routinely used to audit the social climate of a prison or prison unit on an annual basis. This would enable changes over time to be assessed, standards and targets set, and the need for additional resources or interventions identified and responded to. Further research is required to establish how a social climate might be modified or changed in a way that would enhance rehabilitative outcomes.
Older prisoners: A challenge for Australian corrections

Published: February 2024

Corrections statistics in Australia indicate a clear trend towards increased numbers of older prisoners and the growth of this inmate group is paralleled in prisons in the United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand. Older prisoner populations present a number of challenges for governments, correctional administrators, healthcare providers and community agencies. This paper looks at the issue of defining the older prisoner and explores the rise in older inmate populations throughout Australia—both at the national level and across the states and territories. The concerns pertaining to the management of older prisoners are examined, including the costs of responding to rising healthcare needs, as well as issues surrounding accommodation and correctional programs for older prisoners. Various solutions and strategies that have been adopted internationally in various correctional settings are also discussed, including the establishment of special needs units for older prisoners and the employment of specialist staff. Finally, the paper discusses the implications of the rise in older prisoner numbers for corrections policymakers and researchers in the Australian context.
Poly drug use among police detainees
Authors: Sweeney Josh , Payne Jason
Published: February 2024

Offenders with complex drug dependencies involving two or more drug types comprise a substantial proportion of drug court and drug diversion clients, yet evaluation studies have demonstrated that these offenders often have poorer retention rates and higher post-program reoffending rates. Poly drug use also has implications for police and law enforcement agencies, as users are potentially a more diversified group whose varied patterns of use makes them more resilient to illicit drug market fluctuations. For these reasons, understanding the nature and extent of poly drug use, especially among those who come into contact with the criminal justice system, will help agencies develop more targeted programs and policing strategies that seek to minimise the impact of drug use in their communities. Using data from Australia’s most comprehensive survey of drug use among detainees, the 2009 collection of the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) program, it was shown that nearly a third of detainees reporting using two or more drugs in the 30 days prior to being detained. Cannabis was the primary drug used by 48 percent of detainees, followed by heroin (19%) and amphetamines (17%). Binary logistic models show that poly drug users are almost twice as likely as single drug users to self report the receipt of income from both drug dealing and other illegal sources, irrespective of any differences between frequency and type of drug used.
Misuse of the non-profit sector for money laundering and terrorism financing
Authors: Bricknell Samantha
Published: February 2024

The manner in which terrorist organisations finance their activities became a policy focal point after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. Non-profit organisations, and charities in particular, were identified as potentially significant contributors to terrorism financing. This premise was based on known links between charitable giving and prominent terrorist groups, and the vulnerabilities of the non-profit sector to misuse. Money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) risks to the Australian non-profit sector are thought to be low. However, the impact of such misuse is inevitably high. One of the underlying premises in combating non-profit misuse has been the application of a response proportionate to risk. Australia has based its response on education, sector outreach and peak body codes of conduct, alongside more conventional forms of regulatory control. This paper examines vulnerabilities to ML/TF misuse and the publicly available evidence for actual misuse. It is suggested that the Australian response could incorporate a more uniform commitment from the sector to adopting risk-based strategies, with government providing education for the sector that is based on the identification of specific points of vulnerability.
Fraud vulnerabilities and the global financial crisis
Authors: Levi Michael , Smith Russell
Published: February 2024

This paper examines the evidence that would enable judgement of what is likely to happen to the incidence of fraud in the context of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), whether as a result of the crisis or of other factors that coincide with it. Normally, statistical data on crime and/or cost of crime trends is examined to enable determination of whether a problem is getting better or worse. However, despite measures being developed to improve fraud statistics in Australia, these cannot be applied retrospectively to past data (especially since the last serious recession was almost 2 decades ago and the last comparable global financial crisis was in the 1930s); and fairly comprehensive Australian cost of fraud data are currently available only for one year and therefore cannot be used to show trends in the cost of fraud. Nonetheless, some useful insights can be gained from an examination of the GFC that could be used to predict fraud trends in the future and to determine how best to minimise risks of such opportunistic crime occurring in the years ahead.
Risk factors for advance fee fraud victimisation
Authors: Ross Stuart , Smith Russell
Published: February 2024

Fraud is Australia’s most costly form of crime with the Australian Institute of Criminology estimating that in excess of $8.5b was lost to fraud in 2005 (Rollings 2008). Consumer fraud alone has been found to cost Australians almost $1b each year (ABS 2008c). Most types of consumer fraud entail the use of so-called ‘advance fee’ techniques in which individuals are tricked into paying money—an ‘advance fee’—upfront in order to secure an anticipated financial or other benefit at a later date. However, the promises of wealth are false and victims invariably lose their payments in full. Such scams have had a huge impact globally, with Ultrascan (2008) estimating that US$4.3b was lost to advance fee fraud in 2006. To date, however, there has been only limited research on how and why people respond to such unsolicited invitations and become victims. This paper examines the characteristics of a sample of victims of advance fee frauds to determine how their behaviour and personal circumstances might have contributed to their willingness to respond to unsolicited invitations and to their subsequent loss of money or personal information.
Knife crime: Recent data on carriage and use
Authors: Bartels Lorana
Published: February 2024

n this paper, an overview is presented of recent data on the carriage and use of knives. Analysis of the data indicated an increase in the use of knives as a proportion of all homicides, although the number of homicides remained relatively constant. The proportionate use of knives in robberies, by contrast, remained fairly constant, while the number of robberies decreased dramatically. Responses to the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia program for 2005–09 indicated that only a small proportion of respondents reported owning or using a knife as a weapon in the previous 12 months. The most common justification given for having a knife was self-defence. These findings have implications for legislation on the sale and carriage of knives, as well as for crime prevention measures. In particular, a better understanding of how and why knives are used in the commission of crime is vital when developing policy responses such as knife amnesties and education campaigns, and legislative measures such as stop and search powers and increased prison sentences. The limited information available on the nature, extent, cause, motivation and possible growth of knife carriage highlights the need for improved data collection, along with the development of clearer evidence for what works to reduce knife carrying and knife offences.
