Published: September 2022

Infectious keratitis is the major cause of vision threatening condition and the leading cause of corneal blindness in developing countries. Therapeutic keratoplasty is the procedure for terminating or improving an actively infectious corneal disease. This study was carried out to determine the outcome of therapeutic keratoplasty for infective keratitis at R.M. Kedia eye hospital. This was retrospective study where all cases that underwent TPK for active infective keratitis from May 2019 to April 2020 were included in the study. Data were collected about demographic parameters, indication for surgery, details of donor tissue in terms of donor size, graft size and endothelial density. The outcome of TPK was measured in terms of anatomic stability, eradication of disease, graft clarity and development of cataract and glaucoma. 30 eyes of 30 patients underwent TPK for infective keratitis. 73.3% were male. Average age of the patients was 42. In 60% of patients organisms were isolated as follows: 11 cases of fungus, 3 cases of bacteria and 4 cases of mixed bacteria and fungus. Two surgeries (6.6%) were combined with extracapsular cataract extraction without posterior chamber intraocular lens. The eradication of infection after primary TPK was 23 (76.8%). Twelve eyes (40%) had documentation of variable grades of cataract. One case had secondary glaucoma. Six cases (20%) had graft failure. Therapeutic keratoplasty is the procedure for terminating or improving an actively infectious corneal disease. It helps to save the eye and preserve vision in severe infective keratitis. There is a high incidence of postoperative glaucoma, cataract, and graft failure in such a surgery.

In recent years, the use of retrograde intra renal surgery (RIRS) for the management of nephrolithiasis is on the rise worldwide. It is commonly considered a safe procedure with lesser complications. The current study aimed to study the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and urosepsis following retrograde intra renal surgery (RIRS). This is the retrospective observational study among 356 patients who underwent RIRS and 52 were readmitted as 36 developed SIRS and 16 developed urosepsis as a complication in last 5 years (July 1st 2016 –June 30th 2021) in department of Urology of B&B hospital, Kathmandu. It is found that only post-operative urine culture had significant association with SIRS with p- value (< 0.00). There was no normality in the data so Mann Whitney U test was applied to test the significant difference in the median values of some quantitative variables between the SIRS and No SIRS group. There was significant difference between the median values of stone volume and duration of fragmentation with p values 0.001 and 0.002 respectively. There was no variables that was found to be associated with urosepsis.

Adverse pregnancy outcomes are a major public health problem which can lead to serious short and long- term health effect to the mother and the newborn. Hence, the objective of this study is to find out the determinants of immediate adverse pregnancy outcomes in tertiary care hospital in South India. The study comprised of antenatal mothers admitted for delivery in selected tertiary care hospital in Belgaum, Karnataka, India from 10th November, 2021 to 20th January 2022. All registered deliveries in the study period have been included, comprises of 101. Bivariate logistic regression was used to determine the factors associated with outcome variables. A significance level of 5% was used to decide the significance of statistical tests. The mean age in years (± SD) of the mother was 24.6 (± 3.9). The average cost invested for a family health check-up in a year was Rupees 18,099. The average birth weight of the newborn was 2.7 kg, while the minimum weight of the newborn was 1.4 kg, and the maximum weight was 3.8 kg. The average week of gestation for the first-time with respect to antenatal care visit of pregnant women was 9.6 weeks. The average weight of the women was 47.6 kg during first antenatal care visit and 61.5 kg during last antenatal care visit. Adverse outcomes reported were post-partum hemorrhage was 7.9%, low birth weight 26.7%, preterm delivery 28.7%, anemia 53.5%, neonatal physiological and jaundice 15.8%. However, use of mode of transportation during antenatal care visit was found to be significant factor for preterm delivery. Every fourth baby was low birth weight, and every fourth women have preterm delivery and every second woman was anemic. Socioeconomic, demographic and chronic illness was associated with immediate adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Medico-Legal Case (MLC) refers to any case of injury or ailment where some criminality is involved. The injury cases suggestive of criminal offense, burn injuries, vehicular accidents, suspected homicide, poisoning, and sexual assault are medico-legal cases. We conducted a descriptive study in Casualty Department of Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal from May 1, 2019 to October 31, 2020. A total of 487 cases were registered. The cases were categorized according to the type of treatment they required. The record was obtained after informed consent of participants and with due assurance of confidentiality, ethical regulations and repute of the institution and individual. The data obtained was analyzed in SPSS version 21. Out of the total, 317 were male and 170 were female. The highest recorded cases were due to road traffic accidents (RTA) accounting for 167 (34.3%). The second highest was physical assault comprising 146 cases (30%) followed by fall injury 81 cases (16.6%). The study showed 48 poisoning cases (9.6%), followed by 14 cases (2.9%) of electric shock. Alcohol intoxication and trauma were eight (1.6%) each. Similarly, suicide and blast cases were six (1.2%) each. Likewise, occupational hazard and sexual assault were found one (0.2%) each, during this study period. The most common age group for medico-legal cases was 21-30 years and above 60 years were the least common. RTAs account the major part of Medico-legal cases in our study. By imparting proper education and awareness among public and medical students the frequency of these cases can be reduced.

Authors: Gautam Suman , Thapa Asha , Joshi Rojin , Joshi Barsha
Published: September 2022

Although root canal treatment is carried out to eliminate the existing microorganism and create favorable environment for healing and prevent reinfection, the occurrence of post treatment disease poses a significant challenge in general population. Cross sectional studies from different countries shows that there is varying degree of prevalence of periradicular radiolucencies (PR) in root filled teeth. Since no such prevalence studies have been done in Nepal, we are unaware of the existing problem in our population. Thus, aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of periradicular radiolucencies and its association with the quality of root canal treatment and coronal restorations in an adult Nepali population. Among 350 patients, 40.8% (389) presented with PR. Significantly better outcome was seen in teeth with adequate qualities of root filled teeth and coronal restoration. The prevalence of PR in Nepali population was seen relatively high and the considerable efforts to improve the length control during the procedure followed by proper restoration, to lessen the development of PR cannot be over emphasized.

Employer Attitudes and the Hiring of Immigrants and International Students: Evidence from a Survey of Employers in Atlantic Canada
Authors: Fang Tony , Xiao Na , Zhu Jane , Hartley John
Published: September 2022

What are employers’ perceptions regarding hiring immigrants and international students in Atlantic Canada? How are these perceptions related to hiring outcomes? Our analysis, based on a 2019 random representative survey of 801 employers, finds that most report positive attitudes toward immigrants and international students. Probit analysis of the sample of employers who report receiving applications from immigrants and international students also finds that hiring from this group is positively associated with employers’ belief that multiculturalism enhances creativity in the workplace and (less clearly) with the belief that immigrants and international students are harder working than native-born local workers; negatively with beliefs that such workers accept lower pay, have language barriers, have higher training costs, hold unreliable credentials, and (less strongly) have lower retention probabilities; and not consistently with the belief that such workers may help in increasing exports, are unfamiliar with the Canadian culture or workplace, or may take jobs away from locals.

Akurasi dari tes untuk usia lebih dari 2-6 tahun hanya 36% diakibatkan karena perbedaan perhitungan usia dari aplikasi yang mencapai 4-6 bulan lebih tua dari usia sebenarnya yang mengakibatkan pertanyaan yang muncul di atas usia anak sehingga anak gagal melakukan tugas pada usianya.
Genus Diaparsis Förster (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tersilochinae) from Madagascar: a review of the species with interstitial vein 2m-cu
Authors: Khalaim A.I.
Published: September 2022

Five species of the genus Diaparsis Förster characterized by the fore wing with interstitial vein 2m-cu are found to occur in Madagascar. One species, D. apophis sp. nov., is described as new to science; three species, D. interstitialis Khalaim, 2013, D. inusitata Khalaim, 2013 and D. voluptuosa Khalaim, 2013, are recorded from Madagascar for the first time. Diagnoses, references and general distribution to the five reviewed Madagascar species are given. Partial identification key to the species of Diaparsis occurring in Madagascar is provided.Diaparsis apophis sp. nov. is widely distributed through Madagascar from extreme north to south of the island; it was collected from Diana, Antananarivo, Androy, Analamanga, Vakinankaratra and Vatomandry provinces. The new species is easily distinguished from its Afrotropical congeners by the combination of interstitial vein 2m-cu in the fore wing; first metasomal tergite evenly arcuate in lateral view, round in cross-section centrally and entirely smooth; and black antennal flagellum with 33–37 flagellomeres in female and 30–40 flagellomeres in male. It is a rather large species with body length about 6.8 mm and fore wing length 4.2 mm. The species name derives from Apophis, an Ancient Egyptian god of chaos.

Published: September 2022

The article discusses new morphological characters of species in the genus Dolichopus Latreille, 1797, which allow specific diagnostics of both males and females. For this purpose 244 Dolichopus species were studied. The identification of new diagnostic criteria, including these for females, is necessary, since diagnostics are often carried out using color characteristics that have extremely low value, it is difficult to identify females using existing tables, and for a number of species females have not yet been described. In particular, for the first time, such traits are discussed as the presence of setae on the haltere stem and processes on metepimerons. In a number of species of the D. planitarsis group, white claws on the tarsi were first detected. In addition, the variability in Dolichopus species was assessed for such features as setae on the mesonotum in front of the scutellum, the shape of the second and third male abdominal tergites, the setae on the postcranium, and groups of setae on the legs. Setae on mesonotum in front of scutellum are developed in both sexes and may serve to identify the entire group of D. latilimbatus species. Clusters of setae on the legs are also often developed in both females and males. For diagnostic purposes, the following characters can be used: the number of setae on the lower part of the head, the presence of a group of setae on the postgena, and the presence of flattened postocular setae.

Autorzy analizują środek karny funkcjonujący na gruncie Kodeksu karnego w postaci podania wyroku do publicznej wiadomości. Środek ten ma na celu nie tylko stygmatyzację sprawcy przestępstwa, ale pełni również rolę wychowawczą. Ma odstraszyć inne osoby od popełnienia czynu zabronionego. Podanie wyroku do publicznej wiadomości niesie za sobą komunikat skierowany do społeczeństwa, mający na celu potępienie sprawcy przestępstwa. W przypadku orzeczenia przez sąd środka karnego w postaci podania wyroku do publicznej wiadomości możliwe jest jego upublicznienie dopiero po uprawomocnieniu się orzeczenia, a decyzja co do formy i sposobu należy wyłącznie do sądu. Mimo że sprawy karne należą do spraw najchętniej komentowanych przez media, to środek karny w postaci podania wyroku do publicznej wiadomości nie może być utożsamiany z dziennikarską sprawozdawczością sądową.
Stages, Streets, and Social Media
Authors: Mouflard Claire
Published: September 2022

At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, intersectional feminists in France turned to social media to denounce the racism, misogyny, and sexual harassment that have plagued the French film industry and society at large for generations. Although their activism had started long before the pandemic with the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements, the online debates they initiated during the March–May 2020 lockdown (when it became illegal to march, protest, or simply gather in public) reached new and larger audiences beyond their own feminist and artistic spheres. Social media posts and actions by Aïssa Maïga, Rokhaya Diallo, Noémie de Lattre, and comedy duo Camille et Justine elicited strong reactions from opposing parties, notably the “masculinistes” and the “féministes identitaires.” This article highlights these artists’ intersectional discourses, along with the verbal violence they endure online, and ponders the question of equity in terms of digital access and literacy.
From Progression to Explosion
Authors: Sunnemark Ludvig
Published: September 2022

Inspired by contemporary criticism(s) levelled against evolutionist conceptions of history present within much classical social theory, this article seeks to discuss alternative conceptions of historical time, modernity, and coloniality within the works of Marxist-inspired thinkers who have sought to tackle the problematic aspects of evolutionism and ‘historical progress’ head on – namely, Antonio Gramsci, Walter Benjamin, and Frantz Fanon. After discussing orthodox Marxism’s ambivalent relation to notions of historical necessity and human agency, the article turns to discussing Gramsci’s anti-economistic conception of hegemony and Benjamin’s and Fanon’s respective conceptions of the ‘dialectics of rupture’ in order to present alternative conceptions of historical time which partly or fully depart from orthodox Marxism’s tendencies towards evolutionism, albeit whilst retaining a focus on dialectics, power struggle, and revolutionary transformation.

India- Pakistan Relations and Causes of Inconsistency
Authors: Shah Anwar , Bibi Hamida
Published: September 2022

India-Pakistan relations have always been fraught with ambiguity and the pursuit of positive and negative interactions at the same time. Despite both countries' good intentions and noble sentiments for one another, deep-seated apprehensions and historical experiences continue to shape their perspectives on one another. Three factors have historically been viewed by Indians to be impediments to normalisation between India and Pakistan. First, Pakistan has a position in Kashmir. Second, Pakistan is forming an alliance with the West, and third, Pakistan refused to accept India's dominance in the region. Following the 1971 Indo-Pak conflict, India detonated nuclear weapons in 1974. India saw itself as a regional superpower with authority to intervene in the affairs of South Asian nations. Pakistan has long opposed India's dominance doctrine and believed in sovereign equality. This study is qualitative in character, and an effort has been made to fully comprehend the variables that contribute to India-erratic Pakistan ties.

Anthropology of Aspiration
Authors: Gorbachev Maxim
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to human aspiration as one of the main human abilities. After clarifying and limiting the concept of “aspirations” in the work, its analysis is carried out in several directions. The foundations of aspiration are considered, what allows a person to strive, providing the very possibility of aspiration, first of all, the imaginary and awareness of absence. The characteristic of the object of aspiration, independent of particular cases of aspiration, of what a person inevitably strives for, if he really strives, is also given. It's about an imaginary future pleasure. Next, the very emergence of aspiration is considered, which is associated with the spontaneous self-action of a person. After that, the author turns to the types of aspiration associated with his attitude to choice and the specifics of its occurrence. Then the article analyzes the problem of action as one of the components of the question of aspiration. At the same time, the action may or may not be assumed by aspiration. In addition, the question is raised about the role of the presented possibility of the realization of aspiration, the specifics of which depend on the specifics of a particular case of a person's aspiration. Moreover, the idea of realization depends on whether a person can, in principle, strive for a particular goal.
“Ethical Argument” Against God’s Existence: Some Critical Conciderations
Authors: Gasparov Igor G.
Published: September 2022

In his recent book, renowned American philosopher James Sterba puts forward an ‘ethical argument’ against the existence of God [Sterba, 2019], arguing for the logical incompatibility of the existence of an all-powerful and all-good God with the existence of moral evil we encounter in the world. This argument marks a new stage in the evolution of the so-called 'problem of evil' in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion, shifting from a discussion of metaphysical and epistemological aspects of the problem to ethical ones. Sterba offers a theoretical justification for the 'theological premise' of the atheistic argument from evil, relying on the Pauline principle that one should not do evil for the good that may come from it, from which he concludes that an all-powerful and all-good God would be obliged to prevent certain kinds of moral evil that are actually found in our world. The paper is aimed to critical evaluation of Sterba's argument by means of logical-conceptual analysis, showing that the key premise of Sterba's argument, according to which Pauline principle applies equally to any rational agent, is controversial, because there is a good reason to believe that God is related to moral norm in a different way than His creation is. The first section examines Sterba's ethical argument in support of the incompatibility of God's existence and existence of certain kinds of moral evil in the world. The second section shows that his strategy of refuting the main anti-atheist counterarguments offered by free will apology, soul-making theodicy, and skeptical theism, while not without merit, is not entirely satisfactory. The third section discusses the problem of the divine moral agency, raised by Sterba within his polemic with classical theism. The fourth section demonstrates that the key premise on which Sterba relies in his argument is controversial because it ignores the nature of the divine moral agency.
The Political Space of Fiction: A Literary Reflection of “The Banality of Evil”
Authors: Koval Oksana
Published: September 2022

A new way of debates has been recently caused by H. Arendt’s famous work Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil discussed the trial of the Nazi criminal A. Eichmann in 1961. The issues raised by the author such as a status of crime against the humanity and the court competence in their considerations, the banality of evil and its direct connection to the inability to make judgments, the conformism of the Jewish leadership and the double role of the Judenrat in the Final Solution to the Jewish Question are widely considered not only among academics, but often illustrated by fiction. As the example of the literary version of Arendt’s theory the novel The Flytrap Factory of the polish author A. Bart has been taken on deliberation in this paper. In accordance to the plot of Arendt’s book The Flytrap Factory reports on the trial of Ch. Rumkowski, the leader of the Łódź Ghetto, who was characterized by excessive zeal in the cooperation with the German authorities for the sake of preserving the community entrusted to him. This controversial figure of Rumkowski allows Bart to show the limitations of the legal approach to justice. The tribunal introduced in the novel becomes the place where the problematic relationships between morality and law are built into a new constellation. Now it is no longer the letter of the law that determines moral behavior, but first-person ethical action and utterance determine the legitimacy of law. The trial invented by Bart can be read as a kind of analogue of the public space, which Arendt considered as a necessary condition for the true political life of both the individual and society.
Anthropological Roots of Linguistic Universals
Authors: Rozov Nikolai S.
Published: September 2022

This article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the mechanisms and regularities of origins of languages universals. The universals are treated in the classical interpretation of C. Hockett (1962) include traditional transmission, arbitrariness, productivity/openness; displacement, semanticity, and discreteness of signs; duality of patterning. The universals contrast against the widest variety of features found by linguists in the analysis of languages including those that are very different from the "average European standard". Seven theses present an emerging paradigm in modern studies of glottogenesis, including features of multistage, integrativity, and sociality. Verbal communication appeared as an adaptation, in the course of anthropogenesis as biological, and then as social and cultural evolution under the action of multilevel selection mechanisms and the construction of new technonatural and social niches. The basic conditions of glottogenesis were self-domestication, the formation of joint intentionality, and the formation of basic social norms. Speech abilities and linguistic structures appeared separately for a very long time (hundreds of thousands of years) with alternating breakthrough and long cumulative periods. The stages of increasing linguistic complexity were proto-words, pidgin sentences, and then sentences with syntax and grammar. The universals were formed along with the origin and development of languages, i.e., in the processes of glottogenesis as the most important part of the cognitive evolution of hominids in the processes of sapientation (from Australopithecus and Homo Habilis to Homo sapiens). The ascent to each new level (glottoaromorphosis) was accomplished in response to new challenges and communicative concerns that naturally appeared in the processes of anthropogenesis. This complex dynamic relationship of niches, orders, challenges, concerns, attempts, fixation mechanisms, and multilevel selection serves as the theoretical basis for the proposed explanations of linguistic universals.
The Vitality of Art as a Theme of the Human Dimension of Creativity
Authors: Krivtsun Oleg A.
Published: September 2022

The Human dimension of artistic creativity is understood by the author as the organic nature of the latest art works for a person's life, for his consciousness and psyche. In order to more correctly assess what among modern creative practices is organic for a modern person, the concept of the vitality of art, innovative for the philosophy of art and philosophical anthropology, is introduced and developed. The importance of such a view is extremely important: after all, the classical concept of catharsis cannot always be used to assess the height of modern works of art. The works demonstrating the existential impasse, the processes of dehumanization, “the cry and the cry of the strangled flesh” (T. Adorno) hurt a person to the utmost. The hypothesis of the author of the article is that today a more accurate assessment of the work is the concept of the vitality of art, which in its scope exceeds the concept of catharsis. A comprehensive analysis of the concept of the vitality of art, a new look at the stimuli of contemporary creativity, undertaken by the author, will help answer the question: why is it vital for a person today that such art, demonstrating doom, oppression, decay, is vital. That is, art that critics often try to hastily classify as inhumane. It is shown that the factors that complicate the purpose of Art are the natural environment for the existence of both creativity itself and a person in the modern world. Art still creates and gives a person the opportunity to coincide with himself with the breadth of his own view, demonstrating the power of artistic creativity as the greatest area of intrinsically valuable spiritual creativity.
“Chevalier’s Epee”, “Victor” and “Actor”: Unity and Continuity of the Three Plays by M. E. Levberg
Authors: Zuseva-Ozkan Veronika
Published: September 2022

The article introduces the unpublished plays by Maria Evgenievna Levberg (1892–1934) “Victor” and “Actor” (1926). A hypothesis is put forward about the dating of the “Victor” (c. 1914–1915), based on comparison of this “dramatic study” with the published “dramatic presto” by Levberg “Stones of Death” (1915). The plot and motif complex and the system of images, which are common for “Victor” and “Actor”, as well as for the published drama by Levberg “Chevalier’s Epee” (1916), are revealed. In all three cases, the plot may be reduced to the formula of the role and mask becoming the “true” face of their wearer; in the later play “Actor” everything that is “heavy”, “ambivalent” and “tragic” associated with such a plot turns out to be “removed” on the metalevel. In all three plays, the central character, represented by the type of a young man “of the people”, a witty adventurer, greedy for life and success, but not devoid of noble impulses, is charged with the motifs of excess strength, love of life, attraction at the same time to the great and simple, high and “low”, as well as the motifs of luck, of being “the chosen one”. The motif of love for the “extraordinary man”, which the female characters of three plays feel towards these heroes, is also constant. Due to the self-reflexive layer of the play “Actor” and the panegyric of the theater which it contains (including the ancient topos of “consolation by art”), the development of the play’s conflict ends not ambiguously, as in “Chevalier’s Epee”, and not tragically, as in “Victor”, but in a comical way that resolves life’s contradictions.

It’s Difficult to Get Closure: On the Polysemy of the Words ZAKRYVAT’, ZAKRYVAT’SA, ZAKRYTIE and Its Presentation in the Active Dictionary of Russian Language
Authors: Ptentsova Anna V.
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we observe the typical difficulties of the lexicographical representation of polysemantic words with the same root in a dictionary of an active type. We propose possible solution of the problems in accordance with the theoretical concepts of an active type dictionary (the system principle, the integrality principle and the principle of the user’s convenience) by the case of the entries ZAKRYVAT’, ZAKRYVAT’SA, ZAKRYTIE written by the author for the Active Dictionary of Russian Language. We demonstrate a structure of the polysemy for each word, give a brief comment on the sequence of lexemes, and discuss a question of the symmetrization of the descriptions. The entries are appropriately compared with the same entries in traditional dictionaries. The description is based on the National Corpus of Russian language (www.ruscorpora.ru).

The island of Kalimantan, known as Borneo to the international community, consists of three allied countries, namely Sarawak, Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia. In this part of the island there is an Indonesian territory whose northern part is directly adjacent to Sarawak and the Natuna Sea, the area is the Province of West Kalimantan. West Kalimantan province covers an area of 421,891 km2 and has hundreds of small and large rivers. The number of river flows in this province makes West Kalimantan province one of the provinces known as the area of a thousand rivers. The existence of the river is the soul of the people of West Kalimantan from the past until now. The Peniung River is one of the rivers located in Ribang Kadeng Village, Kalis District, Kapuas Hulu Regency. This river crosses the villages of Ribang kadeng and Na'sebintang (Nanga Sebintang) and flows into the Mandai River at the village of Na' Peniung. Information related to the diversity of fish species is necessary for the sustainable management of fishery resources. With this information, of course, the determination of policies and decision-making in the process of water resource management or use of hydrographic basins can be carried out correctly. However, the reality he is facing today is the lack of information on the diversity of freshwater fish, especially from the West Kalimantan region. This study managed to obtain 126 individuals of freshwater fish consisting of 10 families and 15 species. The diversity index obtained is moderate, index of Evenness is high and there are no dominant species.

Finally, it is found that temperature and laser input power are the main factors affecting the operation state of the Sensor, the temperature should not be higher than 30°C and the laser input power should not be greater than 1.2W.
Study on the Coupling Interaction of Green Technology Innovation, New Energy Industry Agglomeration and Carbon Emission Efficiency
Authors: Wang Yubo , Cheng Shiyun
Published: September 2022

This study examines the relationship between green technology innovation, new energy industry agglomeration and carbon emission efficiency from 2008 to 2019 in 30 provinces in China (apart from Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan). According to the study, the mean value of the three couples’ average coupling coordination degree is between 0.03 and 0.49, which means that they are still in the maladjustment stage and on the verge of forced coordination. And the dynamic PVAR model is further established to study and conclude that green technology innovation is fostered by carbon emission efficiency, which is also boosted by new energy industry agglomeration. However, there is no correlation between green technology innovation and new energy industry agglomeration, and the three systems have not formed a good circular driving effect temporarily.

Published: September 2022

Phase change material (PCM) can utilize different thermal storage modes to improve the efficiency of electric heating loads. Traditionally, PCM-based electric heating equipment is controlled by users respectively. There is a lack of interaction between the PCM-based electric heating equipment and the power dispatch company. The hierarchical optimal control strategy for electric heating load is proposed in this paper to deal with the problem. Firstly, based on the LSTM algorithm, the energy consumption characteristics of PCM-based electric heating are analyzed, and the load power of PCM-based electric heating is predicted, then the two-layer optimal electric heating loads control model is investigated with phase change thermal storage modes. The upper layer model is developed to minimize the cost of a comprehensive load dispatching scheme, and the lower layer model is aimed at minimizing the cost during peak and valley periods. Under different types of electric heating response, thermal storage response is designed to examine the electric heating load optimal control strategy. Finally, a typical example is used to verify the application of the two-layer optimal control strategy of the PCM-based electric heating loads. The technical method can effectively improve the thermal and electric conversion efficiency.
