Published: November 2022

Background: South Africa uses a courier network for transporting specimens to public laboratories. After the daily collection of specimens from the facility by the courier, patients not yet attended to are unlikely to receive same-day blood draws, potentially inhibiting access to viral load (VL) testing for HIV patients.Objective: We aimed to design an optimised courier network and assess whether this improves VL testing access.Methods: We optimised the specimen transport network in South Africa for 4046 facilities (November 2019). For facilities with current specimen transport times (n = 356), we assessed the relationship between specimen transport time and VL testing access (number of annual VL tests per antiretroviral treatment patient) using regression analysis. We compared our optimised transport times with courier collection times to determine the change in access to same-day blood draws.Results: The number of annual VL tests per antiretroviral treatment patient (1.14, standard deviation: 0.02) was higher at facilities that had courier collection after 13:36 (the average latest collection time) than those that had their last collection before 13:36 (1.06, standard deviation: 0.03), even when adjusted for facility size. Through network optimisation, the average time for specimen transport was delayed to 14:35, resulting in a 6% – 13% increase in patient access to blood draws.Conclusion: Viral load testing access depends on the time of courier collection at healthcare facilities. Simple solutions are frequently overlooked in the quest to improve healthcare. We demonstrate how simply changing specimen transportation timing could markedly improve access to VL testing.

Authors: Zenani Nombulelo E. , Gause Gopolang , Sehularo Leepile
Published: November 2022

Background: It is critical for intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to develop resilient coping strategies to cope with workplace adversities. The coping strategies will mitigate the development of maladaptive psychological disorders prone to working in a stressful environment.Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyse previous literature conducted on strategies that enhance resilience in ICU nurses to cope with workplace adversities beyond the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The study was conducted by examining all available global literature in the context of the aim of the study.Method: An integrative literature review was chosen for the study. Purposive sampling method was used to select the relevant databases to answer the review question, namely Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, Medline and Nursing/Academic Edition. The search terms used were ‘strategies’, ‘resilience’, ‘intensive care unit nurses’, ‘coping’, ‘workplace adversities’, ‘beyond COVID-19’ and post ‘COVID-19’.Results: Three themes emerged from the study, namely promoting personal attributes, effective relational support and active psychological support.Conclusion: Enhancing resilience among ICU nurses requires both intentional individualised care from the ICU nurses and a systematic approach by nursing management that will meet the psychological needs of ICU nurses when working in a stressful ICU environment.Contribution: The findings of the review have highlighted specific strategies of improving resilience in ICU nurses, which can ultimately create a safe working environment in the ICU.
To honour Yahweh in the face of adversity: A socio-critical analysis of Psalm 131
Authors: Botha P. J.
Published: November 2022

Psalm 131 is analysed in respect of its poetic features and a probable social background. The social model which regards honour and shame as pivotal values in Mediterranean societies is used to try to determine what impact it was most probably supposed to have on the community of believers which included it into the Psalter and, consequently, its meaning for us today.
Chemotherapy-Induced Acute Reversible Toxic Leukoencephalopathy
Authors: Vishnu A. K. , Pratap Thara , Jacob Dhanya , Jalal Muhammed Jasim Abdul , Gopalakrishnabhakthan Anupama
Published: November 2022

Acute toxic leukoencephalopathy can be due to a variety of endogenous and exogenous agents. Chemotherapy-induced toxic leukoencephalopathy is often encountered in clinical practice with the widespread use of various chemotherapeutic agents. Since initial clinical findings may be nonspecific, magnetic resonance imaging can be useful in the pattern recognition of white matter injury as well as to rule out its close differentials. Early diagnosis is important since prompt removal of the inciting agent and supportive therapy can reverse this condition, while delay can result in a poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of chemotherapy-induced toxic leukoencephalopathy in a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the rectum from an imaging perspective.
(Non)local logistic equations with Neumann conditions
Authors: Dipierro Serena , Proietti Lippi Edoardo , Valdinoci Enrico
Published: November 2022

We consider here a problem of population dynamics
modeled on a logistic equation with both classical and nonlocal
diffusion, possibly in combination with a pollination term. The environment considered is a niche with zero-flux, according to a new type of Neumann condition. We discuss situations that are more favorable for the survival of the species, in terms of the first positive eigenvalue. Quite surprisingly, the eigenvalue analysis for the one-dimensional case is structurally different from the higher-dimensional setting, and it sensibly depends on the nonlocal character of the dispersal.

The mathematical framework of this problem takes into consideration the equation

-\alpha\Delta u +\beta(-\Delta)^su =(m-\mu u)u+\tau J\star u

in

\Omega

,
where

m

can change sign. This equation is endowed with a set of Neumann conditions that combines the classical normal derivative prescription and the nonlocal condition introduced in Dipierro, Ros-Oton, and Valdinoci [Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 33 (2017), 377–416]. We will establish the existence of a minimal solution for this problem and provide a thorough discussion on whether it is possible to obtain nontrivial solutions (corresponding to the survival of the population).

The investigation will rely on a quantitative analysis of the first eigenvalue of
the associated problem and on precise asymptotics for large lower and upper bounds of the resource. In this, we also analyze the role played by the optimization strategy in the distribution of the resources, showing concrete examples that are unfavorable for survival, in spite of the large resources that are available in the environment.
Observation of atmospheric scintillation during the 2020 total eclipse in northern Patagonia
Authors: Schmiegelow Christian T. , Drechsler Martín , Filgueria Lautaro E. , Nuñez Barreto Nicolás A. , Meconi Franco
Published: November 2022

During the December 2020 total eclipse we registered time resolved light measurements of incident solar light with VIS-NIR photodiodes in northern Patagonia. Signals compatible with the observation of shadow bands in the 200 s before and after totality were observed. A strong increase in the normalized noise spectral densities of recorded incident radiation near totality suggests the presence of shadow bands. Originally high-altitude balloon measurements and spatial correlation ground measurements were planned, but the harsh climate conditions limited the campaign’s results.
Synthesis, characterization and investigation of antibacterial activity for some new functionalized luminol derivatives
Authors: Saleh Kadhim Teeba , Mousa Kareem Mohanad , J. Atiyah Abbas
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT. The present study describes synthesis of some new luminol derivatives, which might play an important role in biological active agents. These new synthesized compounds are functionalized based on luminol (LM) with different carboxylic drugs such as mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, and ampicillin). Synthesis processes was conducted by converting carboxylic group in the investigated drugs into acid chloride group by reacting with SOCl2. Then the synthesized chloride drug derivatives were reacted with luminol in presences of DMSO and TEA to yield the final target molecules. These compounds were characterized using FTIR, NMR and CHNS techniques. Besides that, their physical properties and solubility were also investigated. Biological activity of the derivatives (TH1-TH4) was investigated using a pathogenic bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus (gram +ve), and Escherichia (E. coli) (gram -ve). The obtained results for antibacterial activity showed that TH1-TH4 derivatives have higher antibacterial activity against these types of bacteria in comparison with pure LM compound and the investigated drugs.

Enacting Environmental Ethics Education for Wildlife Conservation using an Afrophilic ‘Philosophy for Children’ approach
Authors: Bhurekeni John
Published: November 2022

Environmental Ethics Education has in recent years emerged as a critical tool for wildlife conservation research. Despite this, Environmental Ethics Education is paradoxically predominated by traditional forms of western science such as the concept of the Anthropocene which appears to exclude aspects of African life-worlds where the natural environment is considered a heritage component and is linked to onto-ethical understandings of human existence. The purpose of this study is to explore how African heritage-based knowledges and practices are understood by children who identify and understand the relevance of their totems and taboos associated with them, in relation to wildlife conservation. The study from which this paper is derived utilised formative interventionist methodology complemented by a multi-voiced decolonial approach to explore whether children-participants aged 8 to 11 years understand the purposes of their totems and associated taboos. To achieve this I used an Afrophilic Philosophy for Children pedagogical approach, which foregrounds dialogical learning and development of critical reflexive thinking skills. Emerging findings indicated that children associated their totems and connected taboos as tools for protection against environmental pollution and for minimising resource over-extraction. Findings further demonstrated improved learner agency and development of ethical reasoning among children. As participants’ respect for environmental conservation and sustainability was informed by the significance placed on their totems, I recommend the need for schools to develop generativecurricula that take seriously context-based solutions to environmental problems. Future research should also consider understanding environmental conservation issues from a context-based perspective, which can inform existing heritage practices and pedagogies.Keywords: Environmental Ethics Education, Afrophilic Philosophy for Children, ethical reasoning, heritage-knowledges
A Study on Teaching for Writing a Self-introduction
－Focusing on the lecturer's reflective narrative
Authors: Im Lee-lang
Published: November 2022

This study is a qualitative research that examines the limitations and difficulties experienced as an instructor in the field of a self-introduction class through the use of reflective narrative technology. As a result of analyzing my teaching, my class was buried in the ‘difficulty and complexity of writing a self-introduction’, resulting in the poor achievement of students. Accordingly, I tried to find ways to improve the class while keeping the following in mind. First, the dimness in the students’ perception when it comes to their future employment is considered more carefully and reflected in the class design. In addition, with the advent of the AI era, various engineering discussions related to self-introductions are being announced. Thus, major discussions, such as developing a deep learning model that can identify good self-introductions, will be actively used in the class. It is hoped that the students’ vague fear of self-introductions can be offset through more sophisticated and colorful changes in teaching methods.
A Study on the Development of Instruction of the Nominalizing Endings ‘-eum’ and ‘-gi’ for Korean Advanced Learners
Authors: LI LIPING , Park MinSin
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to develop instruction of the ‘-eum’ and ‘-gi’ endings for Korean advanced learners. The ability to properly use ‘-eum’ and ‘-gi’ is difficult to cultivate in students through the memorization of simple rules or repeated practice. Also, the instructor’s explanation for such methods inevitably proves abstract. Therefore, there is a need for a method that enables learners to obtain a more in-depth understanding of grammatical phenomena by discovering and internalizing rules by themselves through the process of inquiry. Based on this recognition of the problem, this study developed a class of ‘-eum’ and ‘-gi’ using the O-H-E model. At this time, in the last stage (the experimental stage) an explicit explanation process is required to check whether learners have correctly derived the hypothesis, rather than having them merely engage in the infinite repetition of the hypothesis-experiment-hypothesis-correction-revalidation stage until the theorization of the hypothesis established by the learner is verified. Therefore, the experimental steps of the existing model were subdivided into hypothesis testing, theory establishment, and use.Based on this process, an actual step-by-step task was developed and presented. However, it is regrettable that the level of the developed class and the effectiveness of the educational task were not verified in the actual classes, but only suggested. Nevertheless, this study is meaningful in that it designed a specific class step and showed the process of actual assignment and material development.
A Proposal of Evaluation Criteria and Framework Based on the Characteristics and Goals of Argumentative Scientific Writing
Authors: Bang Dami
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to suggest an evaluation criteria and evaluation framework for argumentative scientific writing activities based on the identification of characteristics and goals of argumentative scientific writing. First, the characteristics of argumentative scientific writing were defined in three ways: thinking skill characteristics as arguments, content characteristics as science, and activity characteristics as writing. Second, the five goals were specified accordingly. The goal of ‘cultivating critical thinking ability’ was related to the thinking skill characteristics, and ‘understanding the scientific method’ was related to both thinking skill and content characteristics. The goal of ‘understanding scientific knowledge’ was related to the content characteristics, and the ‘cultivation of scientific communication skills’ was related to both content and activity characteristics. The goal of ‘development of writing ability’ was related to the activity characteristics. Third, evaluation criteria of argumentative scientific writing were specified according to the goals. Finally, the evaluation framework consisting of a three-level rating scale of poor, average, and excellent was proposed using evaluation criteria. Based on the results, implications for the design and implementation of an argumentative scientific writing class were discussed.

El estudio de las comunidades neustónicas es escaso a nivel mundial, en Chile solo unos pocos trabajos sobre determinados grupos han sido analizados, pero no existen publicaciones al respecto. En este trabajo se da a conocer los resultados de un estudio del ciclo lunar en distribución del neuston. En una primera instancia se caracteriza la composición de la comunidad neustónica, posteriormente se analiza la distribución de las abundancias y biomasas con relación a un ciclo diario y finalmente se analiza la influencia del ciclo lunar. El neuston en la zona de Iquique se compone de 57 unidades taxonómicas, de las cuales 22 corresponden a holoneuston. El grupo copépoda el mejor representado presentándose en el 100% de las muestras analizadas compuesto por 13 especies, de las cuales Acartia (Acanthacartia) tonsa es la especie más abundante y frecuente en todo el periodo de muestreo. El grupo Copépoda, en el ciclo diario presenta su mayor densidad y biomasa en ausencia de luz de día (14.000 ind/100m3) en contraposición las menores densidades y biomasa que se observan hacia medio día con menos de mil individuos por cada 100 metros cúbicos. La comunidad neustónica ve influenciada su distribución según el ciclo lunar. La biomasa neustónica en su conjunto disminuye notablemente al momento de la aparición de la luna llena. Caso contrario ocurre con luna nueva donde se presenta la mayor contribución en biomasa.

Unjuk rasa atau demontrasi dalam kenyataan sehari-hari meimbulkan permasalahan dalam tingkat pelaksanaan, meskipun telah dijamin dalam konstitusi kita namun tata cara pelaksanaan unjuk rasa sering kali melukai spirit demokrasi itu sendiri. Aksi unjuk rasa sering kali berubah menjadi aksi yang anarkis dan melanggar tertib sosial yang telah terbangun dalam masyarakat. Tahun 1998 di saat awal mula tumbangnya Soeharto dimana puluhan ribu mahasiswa berunjuk rasa turun keruas-ruas jalan di Jakarta merupakan sebuah momen dimana unjuk rasa dapat menjadi aksi anarkis berupa perampokan, penjarahan dan pembakaran bahkan yang lebih parah aksi unjuk rasa memakan korban jiwa.

DINAMIKA KELEMBAGAAN NEGARA BERDASARKAN PASCAAMANDEMEN UUD NRI TAHUN 1945
Authors: Badaruddin Sukri , Supriadi Supriadi , Ramadhani Syaila Indah
Published: November 2022

Abstrak:

Dasar pemikiran sehingga  dilakukannya amandemen atas UUD NRI Tahun 1945 yaitu: pertama UUD 1945 memberikan kekuasaan yang sangat besar pada Presiden yang meliputi kekuasaan eksekutif serta legislatif, khususnya dalam membentuk undang-undang, kedua UUD 1945 memuat pasal-pasal yang terlalu luwes (fleksibel) sehingga dapat menghasilkan lebih dari satu tafsir (multitafsir). Dari amandemen UUD NRI Tahun 1945 menghasilkan perubahan-perubahan, salah satunya adalah transformasi struktur kelembagaan negara. Amandemen UUD 1945 membawa dampak yang sangat luas terhadap semua lembaga negara. Pada satu sisi ada lembaga negara yang menmperoleh proporsi baru yaitu dengan bertambahnya kewenangan secara signifikan di atur dalam konstitusi, sementara disisi lain, ada lembaga negara yang mengalami pengurangan kewenangannya dibandingkan sebelumnya dilakukan perubahan dan ada pula lembaga negara yang ditiadakan karena dipandang serta dinilai tidak sesuai dengan kebutuhan penyelenggaraan negara ke depan. Struktur kelembagaan negara Indonesia pasca amandemen UUD 1945 ditetapkan 4 (empat) kekuasaan (eksekutif, legislatif, yudikatif dan eksaminatif) yang disebut sebagai lembaga negara utama (main state organs, prinsipal state organs) daan 1 (satu) lembaga negara bantu (the state auxiliary body) yaitu Komisi Yudisial. Hubungan antar lembaga negara pasca amandemen UUD 1945 didasarkan pada prinsip supremasi konstitusi, sistem presidensial, pemisahan kekuasaan dan chek and balances.

Neúspěšné setkání matematiky a chemie: van ‘t Hoffovy a Sachsovy skládací modely
Authors: Friedman Michael
Published: November 2022

Three-dimensional material models of molecules were used throughout the 19th century, either functioning as a mere representation or opening new epistemic horizons. In this paper, two case studies are examined: the 1875 models of van ‘t Hoff and the 1890 models of Sachse. What is unique in these two case studies is that both models were not only folded, but were also conceptualized mathematically. When viewed in light of the chemical research of that period not only were both of these aspects, considered in their singularity, exceptional, but also taken together may be thought of as a subversion of the way molecules were chemically investigated in the 19th century. Concentrating on this unique shared characteristic in the models of van ‘t Hoff and the models of Sachse, this paper deals with the shifts and displacements between their operational methods and existence: between their technical and epistemological aspects and the fact that they were folded, which was forgotten or simply ignored in the subsequent development of chemistry.
Joseph Priestley a jeho přístup ke zkoumání lidské mysli
Authors: Peterková Eva
Published: November 2022

This article attempts to introduce Joseph Priestley’s approach to the research of the human mind. It is demonstrated in two consecutive steps how Priestley changes his view of matter and spirit, and how he moves to materialism. In the first step, he redefines the notion of matter and gives it new attributes – the forces of attraction and repulsion. In the second step, using these new attributes, he explains the ability of perception and thinking. In these steps, he also uses findings of the contemporary natural philosophy, especially the mechanics. For Priestley, man and his mind are part of nature. This means that the man and the human mind are a certain mechanism that works according to natural laws and can also be explained by these laws.

Authors: Valverde-Ramos Miriam Gabriela , Espitia-Rangel Eduardo , Miranda-Colín Salvador , Benítez-Riquelme Ignacio
Published: November 2022

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a crop that grows under conditions of environmental stress, has high nutritional value, and agronomic potential. It is grown and marketed on a small scale in Mexico. However, there are no varieties or technology for its production. The objective of this research was to determine the performance of quinoa germplasm in the Central high-valley lands of Mexico. Sixteen genotypes of different origins and characteristics were evaluated in three environments in the localities of Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala; and Santa Lucía de Prías, Texcoco, State of Mexico. Statistical differences (p ≤ 0.05) were found for genotypes. Late genotypes Suyana, Suma, Pata de Venado, Blanca Ayacucho, and Huauzontle showed higher grain yield (4004.9, 3888.3, 3091.1, 2999.7, and 2967.2 kg ha-1, respectively). Among the intermediate genotypes, Tokio rosa and Pasankalla reventona were the better with 2858.4 and 2118.4 kg ha-1, respectively. Whereas among the early genotypes, Tarpuna had the highest grain yield (3005.8 kg ha-1). Regarding seed diameter, only Huauzontle and Quinoa negra had a seed size equal to or smaller than 1.8 mm; the rest of the genotypes can be marketed as grains because of their seed size. Of the environments evaluated, the least favourable was Nanacamilpa 2019, while Santa Lucía de Prías 2019 was the most favourable environment. Overall, the performance of the evaluated genotypes was as expected, as they mostly come from the Inter-Andean Valleys region, which are very similar in altitude and temperature to the Central high-valley lands of Mexico.
Face Recognition for Examinee Verification

Published: November 2022

In the modern world, facial recognition is playing a vital role in the field of biometric technologies. The reason being simple, it’s a very efficient and developed method compared to the other methods. Its being so precise, errorless and effective gives it an edge over other technologies. There are lot of fields where this fast growing technology is yet to show its effectiveness, one of which is examinations, the identification of the students during examinations. Different kinds of biometric technologies are used in the examination sector in order to identify the students appearing for the exams. Biometric technologies use physical features to identify the person appearing in the exam but many of these traditional methods create room for errors and cheating which can be improved by execution of facial technology.In this research, the approach of Eigenface and fisherface has been used. These techniques are recent and have apparently promising performances, and are representing new trends in this field. Based on previous research that has been done by other researchers about the Eigen face and Fisher face algorithms, where facial image recognition uses Eigenface with different conditions of differentiation from expression, with success rates up to 75%. Ada-boost face recognition, Eigen face PCA and MySQL produce 80% of various different conditions. Face recognition with 93% success with Fisher face by 73 face trials of different expressions and different positions. From previous research, the author wanted to know which algorithm has speed in terms of time, distance and accuracy of photosensitivity in the facial recognition process. By tests of the two algorithms, it produces success percentages and accuracy charts. The Fisherface algorithm is faster than the  Eigenface algorithm has an accuracy of 96% and the Fisherface algorithm has an accuracy of 97%.

Published: November 2022

The classification and diagnosis of a wide variety of diseases may now be performed in an accurate and efficient manner because to advancements in information and communication technologies. According to the conclusions of this enormous body of research, data mining and machine learning (ML) technologies have the potential to be used in the process of discovering and diagnosing disorders. Before we can make this technology available to the medical community, we need to first overcome the limits of data mining and machine learning technologies so that we can get a comprehensive understanding of this dangerous virus. Image processing and support vector machines, both of which are extensively covered during the course of this work, constitute the foundation of our method for the classification and detection of disorders. The CLAHE approach is used for image preprocessing, while the K means algorithm is utilised for picture segmentation.

Published: November 2022

Emotional intelligence (EI) has long been treated as a skill. Almost all researchers claim that this ability promotes emotional and intellectual growth. The questionnaire was randomly applied to 400 students at the National Technological Institute of Mexico Tepeaca campus (206 women and 194 men). The Likert scale from 1 to 5 was used. Pearson's correlation was applied for multivariate analysis. With this correlation, the questionnaire was validated. As a result, the variable Anger and Anger is the lowest (15% approval). That is because the question asked was the only negative out of 19 positive ones. The second lowest variable was defiance, with 70% approval in all its inferences. Three variables were the highest with 95%: 1) Participation. "I express my points of view honestly" 2) Contribution to society. "I believe that the work I do every day adds value to society" and 3) Let go of the past. "I can leave behind my problems and memories of the past to move forward" In general, it is concluded that the students of the TecNM Tepeaca campus apply EI very well.

Apple Inc. is a global technology business headquartered in Cupertino, California. It is a leader in consumer devices, software, and internet services. Their success has been attributed to a variety of factors. One of them is the way Apple has created and captured values. The case study uses the 30 “elements of value” framework from Almquist, Senior, & Bloch (2016)’s outstanding paper “The Elements of Value: Measuring and Delivering What Consumers Really Want” to analyze the values that Apple has created and captured. Each element will be investigated on three components: “use value”, “exchange value”, and “value capture”. The results show that in the case of Apple, the most disguising values come from two products/services: (i) iPhone, and (ii) Apple App Store.

This study aims to analyze, find, and prove (1) design for the implementation of field work practices (PKL) at health vocational high schools (SMK) in Tangerang City. (2) Barriers to the Field Work Practice Program and its Implementation in the World of Work for Health Vocational School Graduates in Tangerang City (3) An Effective Cooperation Model in Tangerang City's Implementation of the Health Vocational Field Work Practice Program with the World of Work This type of research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. This research was carried out in one of the health vocational high schools (SMK) in Tangerang City, the Nursing Expertise Program. Data collection uses in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. The results showed that (1) there is still a weak relationship between educational institutions and the business/industry world, which leads to ineffective implementation, making it difficult for street vendors like participants to get jobs that match their competencies. (2) Some of the obstacles to the Field Work Practice Program and its implementation in the World of Work for Tangerang City Health Vocational School graduates are that there are still limited places for PKL implementation and there are still some hospitals and health centers that refuse PKL participants from health vocational schools. (3) The Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) model can improve the quality of the street vendor experience and make the right career choice by working together using the core-plasma pattern, franchise pattern, general trading pattern, operational cooperation pattern, and partnership pattern.

Authors: Phuong Anh Nguyen , Thai Lan Nguyen Thi , Trung Hai Nguyen
Published: November 2022

Autism spectrum disorder is a common syndrome in many countries around the world. According to the General Statistics Office (2018), Vietnam has about one million autistic people (out of a total of 6.2 million people with disabilities aged two years and over). The estimated prevalence of children with autism spectrum disorder is 1% of all newborns. To meet the need for assisting families and children with an autistic spectrum disorder, social work services have been established. However, these services are in the process of being built and are affected by many different factors. The following article presents research results on the status of social work service providers for families and children with an autism spectrum disorder in Vietnam. Service providers are important players in the service supply chain for any group of customers. They will contribute decisively to the quality and efficiency of service. The staff relies on their capabilities to create quality services suitable for each customer group. The study's results provide important suggestions for improving the quality of human resources in implementing social work service models for families and children with autism spectrum disorder.

Published: November 2022

In this study, the Boundary Element Method (BEM) was employed for the numerical determination of the response of a layered half-space. The material behaviour of the soil was assumed to be isotropic and linear elastic. The BEM was used in the Fourier transform space (FTS). The focus of this paper is to determine the stress and deflection distributions of interior points of a layered half-space. To achieve this aim, in this study, a computer program is developed for three-dimensional elastic or visco-elastic problems. The results of stress and deflection distributions in a layered half-space determined using boundary element formulation are presented in figures.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: This paper investigates the impacts of electric vehicles integration in Rwandan Power system by assessing harmonic distortion, power loss, system loading, and voltage stability.

Methodology: Distribution network test was conducted on 34 buses taken from KINIGI feeder of Camp Belge substation in northern corridor of nation grid by using ETAP software.

Findings: The test came up with locating electric vehicles charging stations by taking into account the total harmonic distortion, transformer loading, voltage sensibility factor and the power loss where 4, 1, 2, 2, and 1 vehicles are located at buses 19, 20, 23, 25, and 26 respectively. The study determined the location of charging stations to enhance technical perspectives while implementing policies as policy maker motivates the public to shift from diesel powered EV to mitigate greenhouse gases emissions and fuel resources scarcity.

Recommendations: The number of integrated EVs has been shown to be low compared to the demand for EVs and the industry's annual target of 1000 EVs per year. This requires a utility to manage the proposed load increase by planning for the power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure. In addition, EV charging stations generate current and voltage harmonics that affect negatively electrical equipment, nearby loads, and neighboring telecommunications lines. Harmonic filtering devices such as RHS, SC and hybrid devices built on RHS and SC are required in the distribution network to eliminate the effects generated by the harmonics.
