Published: January 2022

Resolving legal conflicts is one of the main tasks of any state. This function is in most cases entrusted to the judiciary, but as experience shows, the court alone cannot ensure the effective functioning of the legal dispute resolution system. For every democratic state, the availability of an alternative is important, and the subject of law must be able to choose the ways of resolving legal disputes. Today in the world there are such alternative ways of resolving disputes as: arbitration, mediation, consultation, negotiations, intersession, conciliation procedure and others. The purpose of the article is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of alternative dispute resolution methods. The article analyzes the literature on this topic, and also presents the features of alternative ways of dispute resolution, which allows us to identify their advantages and disadvantages as a legal procedure. The existence in most countries of the world of alternative dispute resolution is to some extent positive for the parties to the conflict, because dispute resolution through arbitration, mediation, negotiation, consultation and other alternative dispute resolution allows to resolve it without state intervention and they can be solved much faster. Alternative dispute resolution can to some extent be a source of savings money for the state, as they exist independently and do not require funds to provide them from the state, while in Ukraine the system of commercial courts annually requires a fairly large cost of maintaining such courts. Resolving disputes through alternative methods also speeds up their resolution, but in some cases the process itself can be more expensive

Published: January 2022

According to the Civil Procedure Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the adoption of minor children is carried out only by a judicial body that meets the norms of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, international law, as well as international agreements of the Republic of Uzbekistan and world practice of adopting children, which is in the best interests of the child. At the same time, there is a growing need for a radical improvement of the institutional and legal framework that guarantees the protection of the legal and legitimate interests of children and the protection of their rights. The purpose of the article is to analyze the legal norms of issues on the adoption of children. Scientific research is based on a set of such private methods as formal-logical, system-structural, comparative-legal, historical, etc., which made it possible to identify and substantiate the concept, essence and social significance of the institution of child adoption in the Republic of Uzbekistan. As a result of the research, it was established that in the science of family law adoption is defined in the following forms: as a legal act; as the upbringing of children in an adoptive family, providing living conditions equivalent to the living conditions of biological children; as a device for minors left without parental care. The article discusses the concepts, essence and social significance of adoption, personal and property rights of adopted children, interests of the child in implementation, procedural issues of adoption

Published: January 2022

The revolution of 1917-1921 is a bright page in the centuries-old history of the Ukrainian state. The special place in it belongs to Ukrainian Central Council (CCU), under the leadership of which Ukraine went through the difficult path of building its own state from autonomy to the proclamation of Ukrainian National Republic and its full state independence and sovereignty. Therewith, the CCU attempted to introduce democratic institutions and parliamentary forms of government. The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that this experience left a noticeable mark on the legal consciousness of Ukrainians and the attempt to build a parliamentary model has a considerable impact on the solution of modern problems of state creation. The purpose of the study is to analyse the organisation of Ukrainian Central Council as a parliamentary institution in the conditions of the revolution. A retrospective study of the CCU experience reflects the political interests of different groups of society, is useful for understanding modern problems of parliamentarism, the interaction of civil society and the state. The methodological basis for studying the structure, composition of the CCU, its legal forms of activity is based on philosophical, general scientific, and historical-legal methods of scientific knowledge. These methods allowed determining the main task of the CCU – the revival of Ukraine. It is concluded that state revival, as a constituent task which could be carried out only by a representative body that would be established on democratic principles, its composition would express the will of the people, and, if it had sufficient organisational and legal resources to fulfil this task (a stable structure, organisational and legal forms of activity, an effective auxiliary apparatus, the corresponding status of the deputies, the optimal work schedule)

Published: January 2022

Police authorities and units are a separate link in the system of ensuring all levels of national security, including a transport one. Globalization, technological progress and urbanization are leading to an increase in vehicular transports and freight carriage, which makes it necessary to ensure transport safety. The purpose of the academic paper is as follows: to identify the factors that affect transport safety and the impact of police authorities and units of the European Union on transport safety. In order to achieve the purpose outlined the following methods have been used, namely: statistical analysis, correlation, factor analysis, generalization and analogy. It has been established that there is a positive interrelationship between the number of police officers, the number of road traffic accidents and the number of casualties on the road in Cyprus. A negative interrelationship has been proved between the number of police officers and the number of road traffic accidents in Germany, Finland, Greece, Belgium and Sweden. The positive interdependence has been revealed between the number of police officers and casualties of road traffic accidents in Cyprus, Germany, Finland, and a negative interdependence in Greece, Belgium, Sweden. It has been found that there is a low level of interdependence between the number of cars and the number of road traffic accidents in Sweden and Germany, a negative interrelationship in Cyprus, Greece, Belgium and Finland. Factors influencing transport safety have been established, namely: legislative regulation, level of introduction of innovative digital technologies, transport infrastructure, geographical location, length of roads, psychophysical factors of drivers, social ones. It has been proved that police authorities and units, taking into account other factors that affect transport safety, do not sufficiently ensure transport safety in the European Union

Published: January 2022

Problems and unresolved issues in the field of the Ukrainian political nation consolidation and national minorities rights protection are analysed. The normative legal acts regulating ethno-national relations in Ukraine are analysed. The necessity of reforming the ethno-national legislation, elimination of declarative, contradictory and conflicting norms is proved. Threats caused by separatist manifestations are shown. The main values, guidelines and directions of the Ukrainian state ethno-national policy development are determined. The creation of a legal framework for ethnocultural autonomy in Ukraine will contribute to the formation of an effective system of protection of the rights of citizens belonging to national minorities in Ukraine, which will meet international standards in the field of protection of national minorities. , and will allow to approximate the legislation of Ukraine in the field of protection of the rights of national minorities to the EU law. Each national minority will have the right to create its own ethnocultural (extraterritorial) autonomy in order to address the issues of preservation and development of ethnocultural identity without requirements and claims to the state and the state budget. This will eliminate the declarativeness of the relevant legislation, increase the level of self-organization of national minorities, redirect ethno-territorial requirements to ethnocultural, promote harmonization of ethno-national relations and interethnic harmony in Ukraine, consolidation of Ukrainian society into a political nation based on common citizenship

Countries and peoples of the world have expressed concern about the geopolitical situation in Asia since the end XX century and the tense situation there. Nuclear weapons have appeared in several countries of the continent. Territorial disputes in a number of countries have escalated into armed conflict. There were other disputes, which were difficult to resolve. At the same time, the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was considered a military and economic power on the continent had a certain impact on stability in the region complicating the political situation further here. Independent states were formed in the post-Soviet region. The issue of border security of the states was on the agenda. At that time, the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev speaking from the rostrum of the 47th session of the United Nations General Assembly on October 5, 1992, initiated the establishment of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia. In accordance with modern requirements, this proposal was supported and a council was established. Several states were accepted as members. Today, the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia continues its work on a regular basis. The activity of this political structure has gained international significance. In the main section authors will talk about its formation and function

Published: January 2022

The subject under study is characterized by the fact that they belong to problem regions and have exhausted the potential that was the driver of previous years and the main source of development. The current situation requires the elimination of the discrepancy that has developed between the existing development model and the need to move to a new paradigm. One of the options for implementing such a model could be reindustrialization. The reindustrialization process is focused on changing the technological structure. Before embarking on the implementation of this process, it is necessary to find out the state of the basis of the economy of the region under study. In this case, the most reliable scientific results can be obtained if the economy of a given region is studied on the basis of the theory of technological structures. The article uses aspects of the theory of the technological structure in the interpretation of domestic and foreign researchers, the methodology for determining the integral indicator of the state of the technological structure in the subjects of the region was applied, which (methodology) made it possible to establish that the third technological structure dominates in the economy of the studied region. It is substantiated that in order to transfer the economy to a new technological structure with the help of reindustrialization, it is necessary to use certain mechanisms that can ensure the progressive development of the economy. The study offers a list of different ways (mechanisms) of reindustrialization. It is concluded that the implementation of the proposed mechanisms will allow the region to move to a higher level of development.

Published: January 2022

Structural changes and transformation of society, reindustrialization and digitalization of the economy, coupled with the manifestation of trends at the global, national and regional levels, emerge new strategic opportunities. Often, such opportunities, decomposed to the level of strategic priorities affecting both industrial development within a particular region and industrial development at the national level, declare the need to develop and implement large-scale projects that require the involvement of a large amount of resources and, above all, financial resources. In this regard, this research examines the main strategic principles, following which contributes to effective financing in industrial strategizing. Among such principles, the author distinguishes: social utility, complementarity of interests, hierarchy and integration, innovation, efficiency and multiplicativity. It is noted that compliance with these principles significantly simplifies the attraction of financial resources for the implementation of industrial strategies through increasing investment attractiveness.

Authors:   St. Petersburg University, Blagikh Ivan A.
Published: January 2022

Corruption is an extensive phenomenon that is difficult to formalize. Application of the expert assessment method to analyze the effectiveness of the fight against corruption can contribute substantially to the assessment of the anti-corruption movement and the development of the national anti-corruption policy. The purpose of this article is to analyze the gaps in the existing expert assessments and validate an advanced formalized model of corruption assessment with respect to conditions in Russia. Its novelty lies in the methodology of analyzing preferred means of corruption control, proposed by the author, and the formalization of experts’ assessments regarding the subject. The obtained results can be used in the development of systemic anti-corruption policies, given that those anti-corruption tools that receive the highest marks, are of top priority to be implemented first.

The article deals with the problems of the ecological crisis in its relationship with the economy. Statistics are provided. From the analysis of the literature, it is concluded that there is a shortage in a comprehensive study of the problem - with coverage not only of technologies that affect environmental risks, but penetrating into the depths of the issue, i.e. production relations, linking the problem with the crisis of industrial production and the transition to a different type of social reproduction. Methods and materials. Mainly the systems approach, the method of scientific abstraction, formal logic, dialectical-theoretical methods, the method of empirical analysis and other economic methods were used. We used the paradigma concept of equilibrium as a methodological basis. Results achieved. The ecological crisis has long roots. The main factors of human alienation from nature: technical progress; approval of the positivism paradigm in the scientific methodology; the victory of the market model of the economy. As a result, man was torn out of his natural environment. He lives and works in rhythms and according to rules that contradict natural laws. The result is the growing global crisis of industrial civilization. The article classifies environmental risks, as well as directions of their neutralization, primarily using economic and political methods. In the systemic plan, restoration of the disturbed balance of a person with society and nature is required. This may be facilitated by the formation of a new stage in the development of society, one of the concepts of which is the theory of the “New Industrial Society” (NIS.2.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a reduction in chronic renal function that leads to non-reversible and progressive kidney tissue damage. Blood pressure is a major risk factor that can increase the mortality rate by up to 20 times in patients with chronic renal failure who are undergoing hemodialysis therapy. Intradialytic exercise is an intervention that can be used to control systolic blood pressure.
AIM: This study was to analyze the effect of intradialytic exercise on changes in blood pressure in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy at Indriati Solo Baru Hospital.
METHODS: The research method is quasi-experimental design pre-post with control group design. The study population was 97 dialysis patients. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling of 30 people. Data analysis using Paired t-Test.
RESULTS: The research results showed  that the sex characteristics of most respondents were male as many as 17 people (56.7%), the average age of the respondents was 51.03 years, the pre-intervention in the control group obtained an average systolic blood pressure of 168.93 mmHg and 106 diastole, 120 mmHg, while the blood pressure in the control group post was 173.13 mmHg systole and 107 mmHg diastoles. In the treatment group, the average blood pressure in the pre-intradialytic exercise showed 162.20 mmHg systole and 104.27 mmHg diastole, while the post-intradialytic exercise system blood pressure was 153.13 mmHg and diastole 94.33 mmHg.
CONCLUSION: There is an effect of intradialytic exercise on changes in blood pressure in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy at Indriati Solo Baru Hospital with a p-value of 0.025. Intradialytic exercise can be recommended as structured physical exercise therapy for hemodialysis therapy patients.

Authors: Sukiandra Riki , Yerizel Eti , Syafrita Yuliarni , Darwin Eryati
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and inducible Nitric oxide Synthase (iNOS) have an effect on neuropathic pain in the inflammatory process in peripheral nerve injuries. AIM: This study aims to examine the effect of anti-IL-6 receptor antibody on IL-6 and iNOS levels as a consideration for the treatment of neuropathic pain in a rat model of peripheral nerve injury. METHODS: Twenty-eight young adult male Wistar rats were treated for peripheral nerve injury and then divided into two groups. Fourteen treatment groups (Group P) were given anti-IL-6 receptor antibody by injection at a dose of 100 g/day by injection into the saphenous vein in the rat’s leg for 3 days. In both groups, the serum IL-6 and iNOS levels were assessed on the 3rd day after administration of anti-IL-6 receptor antibody in group P, using the sandwich ELISA method. RESULTS: The results showed that the administration of anti-IL-6 receptor antibody did not have a significant effect on reducing IL-6 and iNOS levels in group P (p > 0.05). Administration of anti-IL-6 receptor antibody had more effect on IL-6 levels on iNOS levels, where a decrease in IL-6 levels caused a decrease in iNOS levels in group P (p = 0.004 and r = 0.693). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the present administration of anti-IL-6 receptor antibody cannot be considered as a treatment for neuropathic pain in peripheral nerve injuries, but can be used to influence IL-6 levels on iNOS levels.

AIM: This study aims to prove the superior outcome of collagen nanosilver in increasing macrophage and collagen on deep dermal burn wound healing.

METHODS: This study was a randomized control trial design. All animals used were male Sprague Dawley rats aged 12–14 weeks old and weighed about 200–250 g. Each rat gets four site injuries and is given treatments. The treatment group includes: I (negative control using NaCl 0.9%), II (positive control using silver sulfadiazine cream), III (treatment with nanosilver collagen cream 1%), and IV (treatment with collagen nanosilver cream 2%). Macrophages counts were assessed using IHC F40/80 and collagen density was assessed using Masson’s trichrome staining.

RESULTS: Macrophage on day 6 showed a significant difference as seen in group III and group IV. A significant difference was also obtained between macrophage on day 3 and day 6 from group IV, likewise between collagen between day 3 and day 6 from group III and IV. Collagen nanosilver acts as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent by increasing the mechanism of activation and migration of macrophages to the site of injury. Moreover, this formula modulated the collagen deposition, which forms the tissue fibers which ultimately provide a conducive environment for wound healing.

CONCLUSION: Collagen nanosilver has a superior outcome in the increasing macrophage cell count and collagen density of deep dermal burn wound healing.
Strain Induced by Bio-High-Performance Polymers and Cobalt-Chromium Digitally Constructed Telescopic Partial Dentures after 1 Year Simulation of Function
Authors: Muwafi Mohammed , Sabet Marwa , Thabet Yasmine
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Numerous attempts were made to reduce the adverse effects of the distal extension removable partial dentures (RPDs) and enhance their prognosis. High-performance polymers (HPP) were utilized in the construction of RPDs to maintain the health of the supporting structures.

AIM: Thus, this study was prompted to compare the strains induced by Bio HPP and Cobalt- Chromium (Co Cr) Computer Assisted Design and Computer Assisted Manufacturing telescopic RPDs after 1 year of function.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A maxillary Kennedy class I was used in this study. Twelve telescopic RPDs were fabricated from two different materials. In Group A, six telescopic RPDs were milled from Co-Cr and in Group B, six telescopic retained RPDs were milled from Bio-HPP. Each partial denture was seated on the cast and introduced into the chewing simulator. The strain values were recorded using four strain gauges connected to a four-channel strain indicator. Statistical analysis of the resultant data was done using one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s HSD for comparison within the same group. Student t-test was used for comparison between the different groups. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05.

RESULTS: During unilateral loading, the results showed higher strains in Group A at the abutments (473.33 μm/m ± 10.8, 193.39 μm/m ± 10.8) and at the distal aspect of the ridge (470.83 μm/m ± 13.93, 185 μm/m ± 20.83) than Group B. Independent t-test showed statistically significant difference between strains at the abutments of both groups (t = 70.4, p ≤ 0.0001), (t = 36.84, p ≤ 0.0001). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference between strains at the saddles of both groups (t = 51.62, p ≤ 0.0001), (t = 34.72, p ≤ 0.0001) respectively (DOF = 10).

CONCLUSIONS: In telescopic RPDs, Co Cr induces higher strain values on the abutments and the distal aspect of the ridge than Bio-HPP during bilateral and unilateral loading. During unilateral loading, Bio-HPP telescopic RPDs direct high strain values on the distal aspect of the ridge of the loaded side.

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The materials that induce less stresses on the supporting structures of telescopic partial dentures on the long-term can be used to maintain the health of periodontally affected abutments.

BACKGROUND: Domestic wastewater can cause health problems and pollute groundwater sources. Such pollution not only has a negative impact on health and the environment, but also on the cost in providing clean water.
AIM: The outcome of domestic wastewater treatment through a proper technique is expected to meet the clean water quality standard for sanitation purposes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) on the levels of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solid (TSS) of domestic wastewater. The experiment was carried out with 6 variations of HRT, namely 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours with 4 repetitions. The media running process was carried out for 14 days until the reactor condition was in steady state.
RESULTS: The results showed that the removal values ​​for COD, Oil and Fat, Ammonia and Total Coliform parameters were 68.03%, 46.51%, 69.64% and 68.99%, respectively. Based on the variation of HRT of 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours on the BOD parameter, the removal values ​​obtained were 11.7%, 21.3%, 34.7%, 49.0% and 64.1%, respectively. Furthermore, for the TSS parameter, the values obtained were 17.3%, 25.4%, 30.6%, 42.3% and 50.4%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: HRT was proven to have a significant effect on the levels of BOD and TSS of domestic wastewater with a p-value of <0.05 at the 95% confidence level

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: In intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) infertility treatment cycles, measuring serum Progesterone level at day 9 after oocyte retrieval could be used as a predictor of success.

METHODS: Sixty-nine women were prospectively included in this study, treated with fresh embryo transfer ICSI cycles. Progesterone analyses were performed on the day of oocyte pick up (day 0) at serum and follicular fluid, then re-assessment at serum on day 9 after oocyte retrieval. The data were compared to evaluate the correlation among hormones measured on day 0 and day 9 with pregnancy rate.

RESULTS: Pregnancy rate of Iraqi women was 22% (n = 15), mean serum progesterone on day 9 among pregnant ladies was (mean ± SD, 39.5 ± 13.0) which was significantly higher than that who failed to get pregnant (mean 23.2 ± 11, p = 0.001), then after adjustment of the baseline readings (day 0) estimated mean = 11.1. The differences were still significant, receiver operating characteristic curve area showed that serum Progesterone on day 9 after pick up can differentiate correctly between those who will conceive and those who will not, with a sensitivity = 0.933 and specificity = 0.519, at cut off point = 22.33 and above, (Area under the curve = 0.822, p = 0.001).

CONCLUSION: Serum progesterone on day 9 could be one of the predictors of endometrial receptivity and pregnancy, which is actually of great value for both doctors and patients during that stressful period till the date of confirmation, which might negatively affect treatment outcome, as well as the psychosocial and pharmacological impact of medication and limited activity for a failed one.
Le pape François, garant de la doctrine liturgique de St Pie v
Authors: Donneaud Henry
Published: January 2022

Faut-il opposer le motu proprio du pape François Traditionis custodes à celui de Benoît xvi , Summorum pontificum , qui libéralisait la forme « extraordinaire » du missel romain ? Il convient d’examiner les principes sur lesquels les deux pontifes se sont appuyés pour exprimer les conditions concrètes de la célébration selon le missel de St Pie v. Un retour sur les principes doctrinaux qui ont fondé l’usage du missel romain typique par Pie v s’avère ici déterminant.
Exercices et théologie
Authors: von Balthasar Hans Urs
Published: January 2022

En cette année jubilaire ignatienne célébrée à l’occasion du 500e anniversaire de la conversion de St Ignace de Loyola, ce texte inédit en français d’un monument de la théologie au xx e  siècle vient nous rappeler comment la théologie des Exercices peut conduire une vie à partir « au large » dans l’expérience intérieure de l’Esprit. Il est alors possible de « voir toute chose nouvelle en Christ ». Philosophie et théologie peuvent suivre la méthode ignatienne pour le soin des âmes. Balthasar développe alors la mission théologique d’Ignace autour des centres suivants : élection, indifférence, obéissance.
The parallel computing of node centrality based on GPU

Many systems in real world can be represented as network, and network analysis can help us understand these systems. Node centrality is an important problem and has attracted a lot of attention in the field of network analysis. As the rapid development of information technology, the scale of network data is rapidly increasing. However, node centrality computation in large-scale networks is time consuming. Parallel computing is an alternative to speed up the computation of node centrality. GPU, which has been a core component of modern computer, can make a large number of core tasks work in parallel and has the ability of big data processing, and has been widely used to accelerate computing. Therefore, according to the parallel characteristic of GPU, we design the parallel algorithms to compute three widely used node centralities, i.e., closeness centrality, betweenness centrality and PageRank centrality. Firstly, we classify the three node centralities into two groups according to their definitions; secondly, we design the parallel algorithms by mapping the centrality computation of different nodes into different blocks or threads in GPU; thirdly, we analyze the correlations between different centralities in several networks, benefited from the designed parallel algorithms. Experimental results show that the parallel algorithms designed in this paper can speed up the computation of node centrality in large-scale networks, and the closeness centrality and the betweenness centrality are weakly correlated, although both of them are based on the shortest path.

Equal access to books and other educational materials presents equal opportunities for all to acquire education, develop skills, and realise their full potential. Drawing on data gathered through focus group discussions and interviews, our study discusses access and use of books in braille by the print-disabled in special schools/education in Ghana. The study found the supply and access to books in braille by students and teachers inadequate to support teaching and learning, mainly due to the challenges with production. Given the poor access teachers and students have to publications in braille, we argue that audiobooks be adopted as a supplementary reading format for the print-disabled in Ghana so they can have access to equal educational opportunities as their non-disabled colleagues.
Educação para a cidadania global ética: do neoliberalismo a uma pedagogia baseada em valores
Authors: Bosio Emiliano , Schattle Hans
Published: January 2022

Este artigo propõe uma estrutura de educação para a cidadania global (ECG) ética, apresentando as cinco dimensões seguintes: criação de valores, progressão da identidade, envolvimento coletivo, disposição glocal e mentalidade intergeracional. A ECG ética fundamenta-se em uma multiplicidade de obras críticas para identificar características de cada uma dessas dimensões. Vai além dos princípios neoliberais/orientados ao mercado, em direção a perspectivas éticas que promovem a responsabilidade social, a justiça, os direitos humanos e a sustentabilidade glocal. Com maior desenvolvimento teórico e estratégias para implementação, a estrutura tem o potencial de ser estendida em futuras pesquisas e na avaliação dos complexos processos de ensino e aprendizagem envolvidos na ECG, especialmente sob uma perspectiva baseada em valores.

Published: January 2022

A partir das discussões acerca das concepções de professores e a influência destas na prática docente (PONTE, 1992; THOMPSON, 1997; CURY, 1999), definiu-se como objetivo para este artigo refletir sobre as concepções de Professores Multidisciplinares em Formação Inicial em relação à Matemática e seu ensino nos Anos Iniciais. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, foi realizada na disciplina de Metodologia do Ensino de Matemática, de um Curso de Pedagogia, no contexto do Ensino Remoto Emergencial. Para coleta de dados, utilizou-se um questionário composto por perguntas abertas relacionadas às concepções e sentimentos dos participantes em relação à Matemática e seu ensino. Os dados foram descritos e analisados à luz da Análise Textual Discursiva. Como resultados do estudo, foi possível compreender que ainda há uma predominância da visão utilitarista da Matemática, mas as concepções sobre o ensino de Matemática dos participantes da pesquisa indicam uma tendência ao rompimento com essa visão.
Feeling, Seeing, and Thinking

Published: January 2022

What has been learned through science is that the human body is not a separate part of the environment. Indeed, both organic and non-organic energies are exchanged in every instant of life. As the spectrum of electromagnetic energies used in virtual media devices has expanded, there are increasingly vast amounts of non-organic energies bombarding living matter, and there are consequences of this bombardment being paid by those whose bodies are more sensitive to these energies. Electromagnetic frequency (EMF) sensitivity has brought hundreds of people to rural Green Bank, West Virginia. This chapter follows the journey of one such individual, who has engaged her body, mind, and heart to reclaim her life through engaging in physical and mental grounding, rewiring her brain, and achieving mind-heart entrainment. Further, the authors suggest that with the easement of pain, her time-sharpened and expanded senses appear to have contributed to positive engagement with subtle energies.
Optimal Setting of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator with Brain Storm Optimization Algorithms for Available Transfer Capability Enhancement
Authors: Adewolu Babatunde Olusegun , Saha Akshay Kumar
Published: January 2022

Applications of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices for enhancement of Available Transfer Capability (ATC) is gaining attention due to economic and technical limits of the conventional methods involving physical network expansions. FACTS allocation which is sine-qua-non to its performance is a major problem and it is being addressed in recent time with heuristic algorithms. Brain Storm Optimization Algorithms (BSOA) is a new heuristic and predicting optimization algorithms which revolutionizes human brainstorming process. BSOA is engaged for the optimum setting of FACTS devices for enhancement of ATC of a deregulated electrical power system network in this study. ATC enhancement, bus voltage deviation minimization and real power loss regulation are formulated into multi-objective problems for FACTS allocation purposes. Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is considered for simulation and analyses because of its fitness for active power control among other usefulness. ATC values are obtained for both normal and N-1-line outage contingency cases and these values are enhanced for different bilateral and multilateral power transactions. IEEE 30 Bus system is used for demonstration of the effectiveness of this approach in a Matlab software environment. Obtained enhanced ATC values for different transactions during normal evaluation cases are then compared with enhanced ATC values obtained with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) set TCSC technique under same trading. BSO behaved much like PSO throughout the achievements of other set objectives but performed better in ATC enhancement with 27.12 MW and 5.24 MW increase above enhanced ATC values achieved by the latter. The comparative of set objectives values relative to that obtained with PSO methods depict suitability and advantages of BSOA technique.
