Providing Reactive Power Support from Photovoltaics for Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Networks
Authors: Kisakurek Sabri , Yilmaz Ahmet , Sekkeli Mustafa
Published: September 2024

The increasing prevalence of distributed generation, particularly photovoltaic (PV)-based sources, in electricity distribution networks underscores the need for comprehensive studies on their impact on network operation. This paper addresses the significance of leveraging PV inverters to provide both capacitive and inductive reactive power support, thereby reducing the necessity for additional investments. By incorporating PVs in this dual role, the distribution network gains enhanced flexibility in managing voltage profiles, reducing dependency on additional investments in infrastructure. This dual functionality addresses the dynamic needs of the grid, offering a sustainable solution to optimize the network's overall performance while harnessing the inherent capabilities of PV technology. In this investigation, Python-based Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Firefly algorithms (FA) have been applied to ascertain the optimal amount of reactive power support for enhancing the voltage profile of the network, and the effectiveness of the algorithms are compared. The algorithms take into account the reactive power limits inherent in PV plants within the distribution network, and optimize the reactive power support that should be taken from each PV that won’t result in any curtailment in PVs’ active power generation, i.e., only the remaining capacity of the inverter is allowed for the reactive power support, if needed. The network is modeled, analyzed, and simulated using the DIgSILENT PowerFactory program, with seamless integration between the network model and the optimization algorithm facilitated through Python. The obtained results demonstrate that reactive power support from PV plants yields positive effects on the overall voltage profile of the network.

Mesmo com tamanho impacto, nota-se que transtornos mentais permanecem negligenciados e subestimados por gestores e colaboradores, incitando a precarização do trabalho e agindo como empecilho para as devidas tratativas, tornando assim necessário atrair maior visibilidade à temática, que gera consequências para além da organização, visando a preservação de diretos humanos fundamentais e o equilíbrio na relação saúde mental e trabalho. O método utilizado foi o da pesquisa bibliográfica, de natureza descritiva e abordagem qualitativa, em obras e publicações acadêmicas. Após análise e interpretação das informações coletadas, os resultados apontaram que é essencial atentar-se ao estado emocional e psicológico de cada funcionário e, diante de tal conclusão, fez-se a proposta de um programa a ser implementado nas organizações para auxiliar na gestão do bem-estar do colaborador.
Congenital myopathies
Authors:   , Galli Ricardo Andres
Published: September 2024

Congenital myopathies (CMs) conform a large group of heterogeneous NMD with an ever-growing genotypic-phenotypic spectrum. CMs are caused by variants in at least 27 genes that code mostly for muscle proteins. The prevalence of CMs is 1.5 per 100,000, while the prevalence in the child population is higher. CMs are characterized at a clinical level by neonatal onset with severe hypotonia, muscle weakness and developmental delay. However, recent advances in diagnostic techniques have expanded the CM phenotypic spectrum and many forms of late onset CMs have been identified. They are often considered milder with slower progression, variable clinical presentations and different modes of inheritance. The underlying pathomechanism of how variants in sarcomeric, is still unravelling, and to date, no therapies are available for CMs.
This thesis sheds light on two main topics: 1) Unravelling function of sarcomeric proteins in disease, and 2) therapeutic intervention in different types of congenital myopathies.
In this thesis I show that variants in sarcomeric genes result in highly heterogeneous pathological phenotypes with different levels of muscle involvement observed in mouse models but also in human skeletal muscle fibers. I show that variants in sarcomeric genes alpha skeletal actin (acta1), slow skeletal muscle myosin binding protein c (mybpc1) and kelch and BTB-domain containing protein 13 (kbtbd13) significantly affect normal muscle function. In this thesis, I show that the use of small molecules that activate or inhibit sarcomere function can be used to improve sarcomere function in skeletal muscles of an animal model and human muscle fibers harboring variants in acta1 and mybpc1, respectively. Furthermore, A main focus of this thesis was to develop a gene therapy approach to prevent and revert phenotype development in a rare type of nemaline myopathy, i.e. nemaline myopathy type 6 due to a Dutch founder variant in kbtbd13. The exciting findings of this project highlight the promise of using viral vectors to deliver genome modulation or genome correction tools that can potentially improve the quality of life of affected individuals.
Altogether, this thesis contributes to the field of therapy in CMs. The development of novel small molecules that improve sarcomere function and recent advances in delivery methods such as myotropic AAVs and gene editing tools, have opened a bright future in the field of therapeutic treatments for rare muscle disorders.

The textile industry releases significant amounts of azo dyes in aquatic bodies, which rigorously contributes to water pollution. Microorganisms effectively transform organic and inorganic pollutants into the lesser toxic form during the process of bioremediation with the aid of enzymes. Modern technology has exhibited remarkable advancement in last years. The incorporation of omics approach in the field of bioremediation is an exciting venture to research. It will significantly reduce the screening time. Therefore, this study employs a computational strategy to compare the azo dye degrading potential of three prominent enzymes from Acinetobacter junii, i.e. oxidoreductase, laccase, and peroxidase. For this purpose, six azo dyes, Acid violet 7, Acid orange 19, Congo red, disperse red 1, Disperse red 13, and Reactive brilliant red, were considered for the analysis of molecular interactions with the three enzymes. After 3D structure modeling through I-TASSER and validated by RAMPAGE, the enzymes were docked with the azo dyes by using auto dock vina, and their binding energies and molecular interactions were evaluated. The comparative analysis of enzymes-dye complexes revealed that both oxidoreductase and laccase formed highly stable complexes withall azo dyes, showing strong binding affinities (>-5kcal/mol). Moreover, NAMD used for the molecular dynamic simulations have revealed the minimum conformational deviations for oxidoreductase and laccase compared to the docked complex of peroxidase. These findings suggest that oxidoreductase and laccase of A.junii are highly promising for efficient remediation of toxic azo dyes. However, these enzyme s need further experimental characterization before their use in large-scalem setups.

Authors: Moules Nancy J , Venturato Lorraine , Laing Catherine M , Field James C
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the authors address the perceived recent trend of funding and publishing bodies that seem to have taken a regard of qualitative research as a subordinate to, or even a subset of, quantitative research. In this reflection, they pull on insights that Hans-Georg Gadamer offered around the history of the natural and human science bifurcation, ending with a plea that qualitative research needs to be received, appraised, judged, and promoted by different lenses and criteria of value.
A Hermeneutic Phenomenology: The Death of the Other Understood as Event
Authors: Bechtol Harris B.
Published: September 2024

This is a phenomenological description of what is happening when we experience the death of an other that interprets surviving or living on after such death by employing the term event. This term of art from phenomenology and hermeneutics is used to describe a disruptive and transformative experience of singularity. I maintain that the death of the other is an experience of an event because such death is unpredictable or without a horizon of expectation, excessive or without any principle of sufficient reason, and transformative or a death of the world itself.

Authors: Lang Dr. Michael J , Laing Dr. Catherine M
Published: September 2024

This seventh and final instalment of the Emerging Horizons series brings all the experiences of the participants in the film together with my own (ML) as the digital storytelling (DST) facilitator to discuss three of the many lessons learned from this research project (please see the introductory editorial to the series, Crafting Meaning, Cultivating Understanding, to access the film). The article summarizes the interpretations of the film in both written and digital story form, explores the value of the “artist of our days” mindset that DST can cultivate in Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer survivors, and leans on hermeneutic philosophy to emphasize the importance of conversation when viewing digital stories. I conclude with a personal exhortation to be vigilant in looking for the “setups and payoffs” in my own life so that, as a DST facilitator working in healthcare settings, I can continue to help others story, and re-story, the meaningful moments of their health experiences.

Authors: Puspa Adeline Hega
Published: September 2024

Elementary School (SD) teachers have a psychological workload because their students are still children. These demands must be adapted by elementary school teacher education students in order to be ideal as elementary teachers. The research aimed to determine the effect of psychological well-being on career adaptability mediated by emotional intelligence in early adult students of Elementary School Teacher Education in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Participants totaled 101 students aged 18-25 years. The research was designed by nonprobability sampling which was analyzed using path analysis. The career adaptability scale used Career Adapt-Abilities Short Form 5 Factor with a validity of 0.716-0.98 with a significance of 0.000-0.001 and a reliability of 0.75-0.93; psychological well-being applied Psychological Well-Being with a validity and reliability of 0.6-0.97 and a significance of 0.000-0.001; and emotional intelligence adapted Emotional Intelligence with a validity of 0.603-0.72 with a significance of 0.000 and a reliability of 0.742-0.9061. The results showed the accumulation of Standardized Coefficients Beta as much as 0.159 with a significance of 0.000-0.001. Meanwhile, the Standardized Coefficients Beta between psychological well-being and career adaptability is only 0.094. Thus, psychological well-being has a significant indirect effect as much as 0.159 on career adaptability through emotional intelligence. Further research suggestions examine the advanced assessments and intervention of psychological well-being effect's on career adaptability through emotional intelligence in college students.

The Great Wall of Australia: Barriers for Chinese International Students in the Australian University Setting
Authors: Lam Dennis , Hale Adrian
Published: September 2024

Australia’s much-vaunted reputation as a successful egalitarian, multicultural country has substantial merit, but it also has a chequered history, and the official narrative of egalitarianism and multiculturalism is experienced differentially by vulnerable, marginalised people and communities who bear the brunt of residual and new forms of racism and linguicism. One of the most vulnerable groups in Australian society is the cohort of Chinese international students, who face barriers of racism, linguicism, and exploitation. This paper presents the results of a study which consulted Chinese international students about their experiences in Australia. It found that while their experiences varied, a disturbing common thread of discrimination - from overt to more clandestine modes of aggression – occurred. Implications for Australian decision-makers are enormous, particularly for educational and governmental institutions, for whom Chinese international students seem to represent a commodity rather than real, often vulnerable, young people.

Published: September 2024

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pleasure, suffering, and work engagement, along with its dimensions, in the professional context of postgraduate scholarship students in Brazil. The study was conducted with 1,027 scholarship recipients from different states in Brazil. It utilized theoretical frameworks from the Psychodynamics of Work, primarily based on the studies of Christophe Dejours, to analyze the subjective experiences of pleasure and suffering at work. The results indicated that freedom of expression negatively influences students’ vigor and dedication. Professional fulfillment impacts vigor, dedication, and absorption positively. Professional exhaustion adversely affects vigor, and unexpectedly, the lack of recognition impacts the vigor of the students positively. The study concludes that emotional factors in the workplace, such as the ability to express emotions, professional fulfillment, emotional exhaustion, and recognition, significantly affect key aspects of work engagement among postgraduate scholarship students.

Published: September 2024

En este artículo se actualizan los datos de la población de estudiantes universitarios, así como aquellos que toman cursos a distancia en Puerto Rico por nivel académico y sector educativo desde el otoño de 2013 hasta 2017. Este estudio cuantitativo-descriptivo presenta los datos más recientes del alumnado total del país, proporcionando, detalles específicos sobre el nivel y el tipo de institución que ofrece cursos y programas a distancia. Los hallazgos revelan que para los años 2013-2017, hubo una reducción del 10% en la matrícula total de estudiantes universitarios del país, de los que un 20.3% tomó al menos un curso en línea. La vasta mayoría del alumnado a distancia del país, estaba matriculado en cursos de nivel subgraduado en las 37 instituciones de educación superior (IES) que ofrecen cursos y programas a distancia en Puerto Rico. Sin embargo, de continuar los patrones de reducción de población, para los años 2020- 2021, habrá menos de 200 mil estudiantes universitarios en el país. Esto agudizará las presiones econoómicas que las IES públicas y privadas enfrentarán para mantener su operación, a la vez que mantiene viable su oferta académica. Las implicaciones de estos patrones, tanto para los individuos como para las instituciones educativas de nivel superior, son de gran envergadura. La educación a distancia representa una de las principales herramientas que tienen las IES para lidiar con esos retos.

Authors: Shaw  Ronette A.  , Vasquez-Iscan Elys
Published: September 2024

The nursing profession is currently focusing on improvements in patient-provider relationships and is utilizing simulation as an approach to increase competency and empathy of healthcare providers as they develop preemptive skills. In nursing, simulation training utilizes technology that mimics human body parts or model body systems to provide nursing students a simulated real world setting in a safe practicing environment. At Hostos Community College, a faculty member in the licensed practical nursing program (LPN) integrated constructs of critical pedagogy theory with simulation training for LPN students. This article discusses the results of preliminary data from a survey assessing the LPN students’ level of confidence in learning the three domains of nursing skills (cognitive, affective and psychomotor) and highlights the importance of future research to analyze the impact of simulation training specific to nursing practice and care. The article also underscores the utility of critical pedagogy in simulation training for nursing students as an effective tool to educate health care providers about the social and structural barriers impacting patient health outcomes.

The internet is currently growing rapidly. The need and rapid development in the use of the internet network requires a balance in the provision of internet facilities. Internet standard service is the continuity of the connectivity of the internet. Connections from the internet are required to always be maintained under any conditions, but not always connectivity will run smoothly, many obstacles or disturbances are encountered so that the connection does not run smoothly. Then backup management is needed from the continuity of the connection from the internet, so that if one connection is interrupted, there will be backups. One thing that can be done is to use a load balancing system. Based on the tests carried out in this study resulted in the optimal application of load balancing. The application of load balancing can run without changing the existing network, and make connections run more optimally if there is an increase in network traffic accidents due to the balanced distribution of connection lanes. Judging from the speed of network access, it is necessary to use a load balancing system. Where to run without changing the speed of the existing network and need to optimize the network.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 states that every individual has the right to education. Therefore, education must be accessible to everyone regardless of differences in ethnicity, social status, geographic location, religion, political views, or physical and mental conditions. This highlights that every child should have equal opportunities to receive education. The success of education in Indonesia is generally measured by two aspects: the teaching and learning process, and the outcomes, which are evaluated based on competencies. To achieve this success, educational tools are required, including both human resources (teachers) and non-human resources. However, there is a significant gap between education in urban and rural areas, including in the outskirts. One example is the education of children of fish farmers in the outskirts of Indramayu city. Is it true that schools provide equal opportunities for all children, or is this merely a myth? In reality, social inequality is reproduced through the education system. Does the school system benefit students from higher social classes more? What is the condition of education for the children of fish farmers in the outskirts of Indramayu? Their education in Cantigi Village, Indramayu, falls far below acceptable standards. Even the learning facilities are not comfortable enough for students to gain knowledge. This situation is worsened by the lack of educational facilities to support successful learning, in stark contrast to schools in urban areas. At the primary level, this is the critical time for children to develop their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills. This reality aligns with Pierre Bourdieu's critique that schools function as institutions that reproduce social inequality. According to Bourdieu, social inequality in education is particularly evident when comparing the chances of entering higher education: students from upper social classes have an 80% chance, while those from farmer and laborer backgrounds have only a 40% chance.

Este artigo apresenta uma análise comparativa de métodos para a detecção de arritmias cardíacas em sinais de eletrocardiograma (ECG). Foram avaliadas três abordagens distintas: (1) EMD e Filtro Butterworth, (2) EMD e Algoritmo de Pan e Tompkins, e (3) EMD, Algoritmo de Pan e Tompkins e Redes Neurais. Cada método foi aplicado a um banco de dados de 48 sinais do MIT-BIH, visando explorar diferentes estratégias de processamento e avaliar sua eficácia na detecção de arritmias. Na abordagem 1, a análise da presença ou ausência de arritmia foi observada por meio de um intervalo de frequência e foi obtido uma taxa de acerto de 77,08%.  Na abordagem 2, a aplicação em conjunto do algoritmo de Pan e Tompkins e a Decomposição Empírica de Modo (EMD) para detecção do complexo QRS e classificação das arritmias mostraram-se satisfatórios com uma taxa de acerto de 97,92%. E a abordagem 3 apresentou uma proposta inovadora de classificação de arritmias por conjuntos de características referentes a morfologia de um batimento cardíaco, isso facilita o diagnóstico computadorizado de diversos tipos de doenças cardiovasculares, em especial as arritmias.

A dor é uma queixa frequente em hospitais, e muitos profissionais enfrentam dificuldades em avaliá-la em pacientes pediátricos devido às limitações de comunicação dessa faixa etária, o que pode resultar em tratamento inadequado. Este estudo buscou implementar escalas de avaliação da dor em uma enfermaria pediátrica para melhorar a graduação e o tratamento da dor. O método incluiu seis etapas: 1) Revisão bibliográfica sobre escalas de avaliação de dor na pediatria, usando bancos de dados como PUBMED, LILACS e SCIELO. 2) Análise e seleção das escalas mais apropriadas para a enfermaria pediátrica. 3) Desenvolvimento do protocolo. 4) Treinamento da equipe. 5) Integração da avaliação da dor com sinais vitais no sistema informático hospitalar. 6) Implementação das escalas no hospital infantil. Os resultados mostraram que a escala de Faces é mais eficaz para crianças acima de 3 anos, pois elas conseguem associar a dor com as imagens apresentadas. Para crianças menores de 4 anos ou aquelas com declínio cognitivo, a escala FLACC, que avalia face, pernas, atividade, choro e consolabilidade, é mais adequada. Estas escalas foram incorporadas ao protocolo de avaliação da dor da instituição. Foi elaborado um protocolo, aliado a um vídeo explicativo (https://youtu.be/Lgtlk8gzPnw), bem como realizado treinamento presencial da equipe de profissionais de saúde do hospital. Concluiu-se que as escalas FLACC e Faces foram efetivamente integradas para avaliação da dor em enfermaria pediátrica, com suporte de um protocolo hospitalar e recursos educativos para os profissionais de saúde.
