Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of International Studies, Political Science and History, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Tripathi Anurag , Karlekar Lakshmi
Published: February 2025

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan adopted a foreign policy strategy known as a Multivector foreign policy to attract multiple powers to invest in its energy sector. However, the New Great Game for energy soon unfolded and world powers began competing against each other for control over Kazakhstan’s energy resources. The article tries to understand how a zero-sum rivalry is manifested in the New Great Game for energy in Kazakhstan and how Kazakhstan is accommodating the game through a Multivector foreign policy. The article also tries to evaluate the potential winner of the game in Kazakhstan. The article concludes with the argument that Kazakhstan is not only balancing but also leveraging the New Great Game in its favour.

Authors:   Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca, Boișteanu Florian
Published: February 2025

The present research aims to bring together and to analyse the representations of
the Norico-Pannonian clothing from Roman Dacia. They appeared as a way of expressing identity
in Noricum and Pannonia and also in regions where former settlers of these two provinces had
been colonized. I have identified twenty-seven cases, most of them coming from Dacia Superior.
The typological analysis is realized on the representations of peplos-like tunics, bonnets, brooches
and torques. In case of the peplos-like tunics, I have only identified five cases, at Apulum, Cristești
and Șeica Mică. The bonnet is the most spread garment, being registered in nineteen cases, and it
has the highest variety. Moreover, it is the only element found in association with Roman clothing.
When it comes to the Norico-Pannonian brooches, only the type with two knobs is represented
on ten monuments. In three cases there are different types of brooches; in the first one it is about
a pair of knee-shape brooches, discovered at Târnava (Sibiu County), also from Târnava comes a
representation of strongly profiled brooches, and in the third case, coming from Cristești, it is about
a depiction of hinged-pin brooches. Torques appear on seven monuments, usually being rendered
in complete representations of the Norico-Pannonian clothing.

Hues to Cues: The Influence of Color Cues on Taste Perception
Authors: Raga Alexa Reyna T. , Tautho Krisha Nicole O. , Mahinay Ruby Jean M. , Culajara Claire Lynn B.
Published: February 2025

This paper examines how color cues influence taste perception in order to know what is the sensory and psychological reason for preference for certain foods. The experiment used 22 female participants aged 18-25 years old from two academic programs; 16 students from the business-related academic program and 6 students from the English academic program coming from the UM Digos City, Davao del Sur, Philippines. This research used the within-subjects design; thus, each participant was exposed to both the experimental and control conditions. The different colors of hotcakes were evaluated against sensory attributes and hedonic enjoyment using hedonic rating scales. Results from the paired sample t-test showed no statistically significant differences in preferences and hedonic enjoyment between the colored food samples. For example, orange (M = 6.61, SD = 1.06) was only marginally preferred over violet (M = 6.59, SD = 1.17), but this was not statistically significant, t(21) = -0.09, p = 0.926, d = -0.0201. Similar non-significant results were found in comparisons between orange-green and orange-red samples. These results suggest that while orange was slightly higher in preference, the differences across all colors were negligible. The same pattern was observed for orange-green and orange-red comparisons. This result implied that the null hypothesis was accepted because even though orange was only slightly preferred over the other colors, the differences were not of statistical significance. It proves that color plays a very negligible role in preference and pleasure towards food consumption, although exogenous influences of culture, habits, and eating behavior can interfere. It reflects that in future research studies, there must be an enhancement in sample size as well as more profound focus on context and psychology. These implications apply to the field of marketing, design of the product, and practice in sensory evaluation.

Published: February 2025

One of the most important machines that assist with retaining the physical shapes and beauty of lawns is lawn mower. There are ranges of styles and shapes for commercial use of heavy-duty mowers to residential use of push mowers. Lawn mower can operate on solar power, electricity or diesel. Some lawn mowers have the capabilities to gather the cut grasses into bags and spread the grasses on the surfaces of the soil to help reduce loss of moisture in the soil. Lawn mowing requires the operator to move to the various locations that the weeding would take place. This causes fatigue to the operator since the operator would have to be standing and moving in the sun for a long time and also could be hit by a stone during the cutting of the weeds. This could lead to injuries to the operator and staying in the sun for long can likewise cause migraine. Furthermore, the exposure to noise from the mower and dust may also be harmful to the health of the operator. To overcome these challenges associated with lawn mowers, their operation can be automated. This paper aims to design and construct a prototype of a remote-controlled lawn mower using dual-tone multi-frequency technology to control the directions of a lawn mower. This research was designed using Arduino Uno, which is based on the ATmega328P microcontroller, 6 VDC geared stepper motor, a 700- HB relay that serves as a motor driver, a sim8001 DTMF module integrated circuit (IC) and a mobile phone

Authors: Abdul-Fatawu Seini Yussif , Twumasi Elvis , Frimpong Emmanuel Asuming
Published: February 2025

This paper proposed a two-step approach for reducing power losses using a Modified Mountain Gazelle Optimizer (MMGO). First, the loss sensitivity factor is used to identify the most promising locations for shunt reactive compensators. This approach reduces the search space and improves the efficiency of the optimization process. Secondly, the proposed MMGO algorithm is applied to determine the optimal locations and sizes of the shunt compensators. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on standard IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus systems and compared with other optimization techniques reported in the literature. The proposed MMGO produced 34.05% and 35.45% reductions in active power losses in the IEEE 33 and 69 bus systems respectively. Simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of the two-step approach in achieving significant loss reduction and improving voltage profiles. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for distribution system operators and pave the way for more efficient and reliable power distribution networks.

Published: February 2025

This study utilizes a fuzzy logic controller (FLC), a type of computational intelligence tool, for determining a photovoltaic (PV) system's maximum power point (MPP). The solar PV system comprises of a PV module, an MPP controller, all of which are designed to monitor and optimize the highest point of energy generation in a photovoltaic system and a DC-DC boost converter. FLC is the core methodology employed in this study for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) within the converter-supplied PV system. The MPPT process involves the analysis of system parameters, including current error and the rate of change of errors, which serve as the input to the fuzzy logic system. The FLC continuously processes these inputs to adjust the duty cycle of the DC-DC boost converter, ensuring that the PV system operates at its highest energy generation potential. The 1Soltech 1STP-215-P PV model is utilized for this study, and it is representative of the PV model used in simulation studies. Photovoltaic systems are inherently nonlinear and respond to various external factors, making them less efficient. Therefore, the proposed intelligent control method, based on artificial intelligence principles, offers an easily implementable solution and provides valuable feedback. It exhibits robust performance even when solar irradiance levels fluctuate and excels at tracking MPPs, among other advantages. To simulate and evaluate the maximum power point tracking in a solar system, a PV system incorporating a fuzzy logic controller is designed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy logic controller in maximizing electricity generation from the PV panels while maintaining their operating voltage at an efficient level.

Enhanced Adaptive Simulated Based Artificial Gorilla Troop Optimizer for Global Optimisation
Authors: Ayasu Bright , Antoh Emmanuel Kwaku , Twumasi Elvis , Frimpong Emmanuel Asuming
Published: February 2025

The enhancement of metaheuristic algorithms has been considered an important step in improving the solution quality of systems. In this paper, a modification to the traditional Gorilla Troop optimizer is proposed. The modification leverages the powerful properties of circle chaotic mapping and step adaptive simulation. The conventional algorithm, while effective in certain scenarios, exhibits limitations in handling complex and dynamically changing data sets. To address these shortcomings, a three-fold approach is proposed to enhance its performance. A circle chaotic mapping is integrated into the algorithm's initialization phase to enhance its sensitivity to initial conditions. The chaotic mapping effectively diversifies the search space, facilitating improved exploration and convergence to optimal solutions. Secondly, a step adaptive simulation is introduced as a means to dynamically adjust the simulation steps during runtime. Finally, the concept of adaptive simulation based on the state of the silverback gorilla (best solution) in the troop is used to simulate the exploitation phase to help the ASGTO overcome local optima entrapment and produce better solutions. The performance of the proposed ASGTO was assessed on twenty-two benchmark optimization functions and compared with the standard GTO, grey wolf optimizer (GWO), and whale optimization algorithm (WOA). The results showed that the proposed ASGTO outperformed the standard GTO, GWO, and WOA. ASGTO, GTO, GWO, and WOA attained global optimum values for 82%, 77%, 55%, and 59% of the 22 benchmark functions respectively. Consequently, the modified algorithm exhibits robustness and adaptability, making it applicable across various domains. The ASGTO is therefore recommended for adoption in solving optimization problems.
