Authors: Praveena P.
Published: April 2022

In a single-area power system, if a load demand changes randomly, the frequency varies. The main aim of load frequency control (LFC) is to minimize the transient variations and to make sure that the steady state error is zero. Many modern and robust control techniques are used to implement an authentic controller. The objective of these control techniques is to produce and deliver power reliably by maintaining both frequency and voltage within the threshold range. As real power changes, system frequency gets affected and reactive power is dependent on variation in voltage level. Hence real power and reactive power are controlled separately. The role of automatic generation control (AGC) in power system operations under normal operating conditions is analysed. To study the reliability of various control techniques of LFC of the proposed system through simulation in MATLAB-Simulink.

Published: April 2022

At present most of the larger companies depends heavily on their data science capabilities for taking decisions. On the basis of complexity and diversity of analysis, the big data units are transformed into larger and more technologies. Internet technologies are now playing a vital role in our day to day life. It has the advantages along with the disadvantages also, which in term generates the requirements of image hiding technology for maintaining the secrecy of the secret information. The interpretability of findings plays a major role for the success of delivering data science solutions into business reality. Even if the existing method provides outstanding accuracy, they may be neglected if they do not hide the image or text in an exact manner for various cases. When evaluating ML/DL [1] models there is an excess of possible metrics to assess performance. There are things like accuracy, precision- recall, ROC and so on. All of them can be useful, but they can also be misleading or don't answer the question at hand very well. The ROC AUC score is not informative enough for taking decisions since it is abstract for non-technical managers. Hence two more informative and meaningful metrics that every analyst should take into consideration when illustrating the results of their binary classification models: Cumulative Gains and Lift charts. Both the metrics are extremely useful to validate the predictive model (binary outcome) quality. Gain and Lift charts [2] are used to update the performance of binary classification model. They measure how much better one can expect to do with the predictive model. It also helps to find the best predictive model among multiple challenger models. The main intention behind this paper is to assess the performance of the binary classification model and compares the results with the random pick. It shows the percentage of gains reached when considering a certain percentage of the data set with the highest probability to be target according to the classifier. This paper proposes a broad look at the ideas of cumulative gains chart and lift chart to develop a binary classifier model quality which can be used theoretically to evaluate the quality of a wide range of classifiers in a standardized fashion. This paper proposes a hybrid solution of image hiding binary classifier using vicinity value based image hiding classification model as main complimented by gain calculation to increase image hiding classification accuracy. The study has shown that implementing the image hiding binary classification using Gain and Lift is feasible. Experiment of the study has confirmed that the image hiding binary classification model can be improved.

Authors: Srikanth T. , Kannan A. S. , Chandra B. M.
Published: April 2022

Micro Grids are going to replace the traditional concept of electrical networks in order to satisfy the increasing needs in terms of flexibility, accessibility, reliability, and quality of the power supply. Economy and energy efficiency are the paradigms followed to exploit the available distributed energy resources (DERs), guaranteeing technical and environment-friendly standards. Obviously, the path to Micro Grids is complicated by the increasing heterogeneity of Micro Grid components, such as renewable, storage systems, fossil- fueled generators, and controllable loads [1]. Fortunately, the synergic interaction between DERs and information and communication technologies (ICT) foster the coordination among different infrastructures, promoting the development of Smart Grids at both theoretical and practical levels. The major highlights of utilizing micro grid are the capacity to self-heal from power quality (PQ) issues, efficient energy management, incorporation of automation based on ICT and smart metering, integration of distributed power generation, renewable energy resources, and storage units [2]. The advantages contribute to maintain good PQ and to maintain the reliability. In this regard, the concept of micro grid is brought to the stage as one of the main building blocks of the future smart grids [3].

Authors: Christal Dora D. , Balasubramanian P.
Published: April 2022

We all understand that the children are the life deposits of the society, supports of the nation building processes and clearly stated energy stored basins of any realm and the builders of the upcoming world. They are the superlative resources of any country and hence every effort should be made to provide them equal opportunities for their development. Some children who are in conflict with laws by committing crimes are keeping on increasing in the recent times. The reason behind this situation are poverty prevailing in the families, poor educational status of the parents and nature of dwelling places. But beyond all these features, the government machineries are trying to do something for the children who already have committed crimes whether petty or major and keep them in the observation homes to correct them on the one hand and to impart certain value based education and vocational activities on the other hand. Reading is a powerful tool for people in every walk of life, but it takes on special significance for inmates. Reading books not only builds their knowledge and vocabulary, but it also develops their capacity for internal reflection - a crucial skill often lacking among delinquents. The present study is an attempt to analyse reading habits of Juveniles in the observation homes of Tamil Nadu.
Rozwój problematyki konserwatorskiej architektury sakralnej – rys historyczny
Authors: Grąbczewski Grzegorz
Published: April 2022

Rozwój problematyki konserwatorskiej architektury sakralnej wpisany jest w szeroki nurt dotyczący kwestii związanych z ochroną i opieką nad zabytkami, kształtowany przez wieki, zarówno przez wydarzenia historyczne, jak i konkretne decyzje władz państwowych i kościelnych. Przekonanie o potrzebie ochrony zabytkowych budowli sakralnych, mocno zakorzenione w świadomości społecznej, wynika przede wszystkim z wartości, w tym symbolicznych, jakie niosą w sobie te obiekty. Początków myśli konserwatorskiej w odniesieniu do architektury sakralnej szukać należy już u schyłków chrześcijańskiej starożytności. Rozwijała się ona następnie przez okres średniowiecza, a w czasach nowożytnych uwidoczniła się w konkretnych decyzjach ustawodawczych. Obecne standardy postępowania konserwatorskiego wobec zabytków architektury sakralnej tożsame są z wymogami stosowanymi do wszystkich budowli zabytkowych i podlegają nadzorowi władz konserwatorskich.
Ksiądz Michał Poradowski w rodzinie emigracyjnych narodowców
Authors: Kilian Stanisław
Published: April 2022

Od wielu lat centralne miejsce w badaniach historycznych poświęconych dziejom emigracji zajmują publicyści, politycy – liderzy stronnictw politycznych bezpośrednio zaangażowani w życiu politycznym „polskiego” Londynu. Bohaterowie oddaleni od Londynu, osiedleni na półkuli zachodniej ustępują miejsca politykom „Polski na Tamizą”. W gronie zapomnianych bohaterów znalazł się osiadły w 1950 roku w Chile ks. Michał Poradowski, który przez 40 lat wykładał na uniwersytetach w Santiago i Valparaiso; był wybitnym teologiem, filozofem, socjologiem, publikował w kilku językach ( hiszpańskim, portugalskim, francuskim, angielskim), był animatorem życia Polonii jako wiceprzewodniczący Związku Polaków w Chile. W latach młodości organizacyjnie związany z ugrupowaniami obozu narodowego, należał do młodzieży Obozu Wielkiej Polski. Na emigracji utrzymywał kontakty z politykami „polskiego” Londynu, m.in.: Tadeuszem Bieleckim – prezesem Stronnictwa Narodowego, publikował na łamach „Myśli Polskiej” – sztandarowego pisma SN. W Chile, Brazylii i Argentynie). Zyskał uznanie jako krytyk ideologii lewicowych, marksizmu i polityki sowieckiej. Nie będzie przesady w stwierdzeniu, że ks. Poradowski był jedynym przedstawicielem polskiej emigracji politycznej, który w znaczącym stopniu przyczynił się do ukształtowania opinii publicznej kraju osiedlenia, któremu udało się uformować profil ideowy elity politycznej Chile. W 1992 roku po raz pierwszy od czasu wyjazdu (1945 r.) przyjechał do ojczyzny, na stałe osiadł w roku następnym, jako publicysta polityczny włączył się do pracy ideowo-programowej ugrupowań narodowo-katolickich. Z myślą o upowszechnieniu idei narodowej sfinansował z własnych oszczędności wydanie kilku broszur m.in.: Katolickie państwo narodu polskiego (1996). Celem badawczym szkicu jest ukazanie charakteru relacji, jakie łączyły ks. M. Poradowskiego z rodziną emigracyjnych narodowców – Stronnictwem Narodowym oraz przybliżenie tych wątków jego myśli politycznej, które wyróżniają go spośród publicystów „Myśli Polskiej”.
Genealogia osoby wobec dramatu niepłodności
Authors: Kobak Jan
Published: April 2022

Rodzicielstwo jest integralnym elementem miłości małżeńskiej, która w aspekcie jednoczącym przejawia swój dynamizm ad intra, natomiast w aspekcie prokreacyjnym ukazuje dynamizm ad extra. Przeżywanie wymiaru prokreacyjnego jest szczególnie trudnym zadaniem dla tych małżonków, którzy doświadczają dramatu niepłodności. Niniejszy artykuł omawia w skrócie problem niepłodności, z jakim mierzy się znaczna liczba współczesnych małżeństw. Zwraca uwagę, że zamiast używać terminu „niepłodność”, lepiej mówić o obniżonej płodności. Artykuł przestawia również trudności natury duchowej, psychologicznej i moralnej, przed jakimi stają małżonkowie, którzy nie mogą mieć biologicznych dzieci. Trudności te stanowią zarazem wyzwania dla duszpasterstwa rodzin. Drogą przezwyciężenia tych zagrożeń jest odwołanie się do całościowego ujęcia ludzkiej płodności i rodzicielstwa, które uwzględnia zarówno wymiar cielesny, jak i duchowy. W Magisterium Kościoła takie ujęcie rodzicielstwa znajduje wyraz w określeniach „genealogia osoby” (List do rodzin), „prokreacja integralna” (Rodzina a ludzka prokreacja) oraz „płodność poszerzona” (Amoris laetitia, po łacinie: amplificata fecunditas). Próbą praktycznej realizacji tak rozumianego całościowego podejścia do rodzicielstwa jest stosowana w Naprotechnologii i nauczaniu rozpoznawania płodności za pomocą Modelu Creighton tzw. instrukcja SPICE.
Pius XII i żołnierze II Korpusu Polskiego gen. dyw. Władysława Andersa
Authors: Kunert Andrzej
Published: April 2022

W artykule przytoczone są źródła dotyczące audiencji papieskich udzielonych przez Ojca Świętego Piusa XII w okresie czerwiec 1944-październik 1946 żołnierzom II Korpusu Polskiego (co najmniej 14 audiencji generalnych dla ponad 20 tysięcy żołnierzy) i ich dowódcy gen. dyw. Wł. Andersowi (6 audiencji), Biskupowi Polowemu Józefowi Gawlinie (6 audiencji) i Naczelnemu Wodzowi gen. Kazimierzowi Sosnkowskiego (1 audiencja). Artykuł przedstawia stosunek papieża do polskich żołnierzy, „prawdziwych rycerzy chrześcijańskich”, którzy – jak mówił Pius XII – nie tyle zdobywali, ile wyzwalali liczne włoskie miasta na swym zwycięskim szlaku bojowym w latach 1944-1945. Opisuje również reakcje wdzięcznych polskich żołnierzy na słowa i gesty Ojca Świętego.
Wykładowcy w grupie historycznej na Katolickim Uniwersytecie Lubelskim w latach 1918-1939
Authors: Misiura Grzegorz
Published: April 2022

Artykuł prezentuje pracowników naukowych Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, którzy w latach 1918-1939 wykładali na kierunku historia. Było ich 49, a wśród nich byli zarówno zawodowi historycy, jak również filozofowie, prawnicy, teologowie i inni. Ich charakterystyki dokonano za pomocą prozopografii. Przedstawiono zatem wyniki przeprowadzonych badań głównie w postaci 19 tabel. Ustalono także odpowiednie kryteria, takie jak: liczba, pochodzenie, wiek, wykształcenie oraz praca w Katolickim Uniwersytecie Lubelskim. Wyniki prowadzą do wniosków, że badana grupa zawodowa nie była jednorodna i podlegała częstej fluktuacji. To była jednak cecha charakterystyczna dla wszystkich pracowników naukowych na KUL-u w tym okresie. Wykładowcy w grupie historycznej nie stanowili więc wyjątku. Były jednak i takie osoby, które podejmując pracę w latach 20. czy 30., kontynuowały ją przez następne dziesięciolecia także po zakończeniu wojny. Świadczy to o ich przywiązaniu do uniwersytetu i swojego miejsca pracy. Grupa historyczna, znajdująca się w strukturze Wydziału Nauk Humanistycznych, w okresie międzywojennym była jedną z najbardziej obleganych przez studentów. Świadczy to o zainteresowaniu historią i chęcią jej studiowania. Dokładna analiza wykładowców pokazuje, że władze uniwersyteckie potrafiły temu sprostać i zatrudniały odpowiednich fachowców do realizacji założonego programu studiów.
Egzemplaryzm wzorcowy w ujęciu ks. Bronisława Markiewicza
Authors: Przybylski Przemysław
Published: April 2022

Artykuł przywołuje postać Bronisława Markiewicza – założyciela Zgromadzenia Świętego Michała Archanioła, wychowawcy, jednego z prekursorów XIX-wiecznej pedagogiki chrześcijańskiej. Ma on na celu zaprezentowanie nowatorskiego podejścia Markiewicza do zagadnienia formacji dzieci i młodzieży, realizowanego w placówkach o charakterze wychowawczo-edukacyjnym, którego rysem charakterystycznym zdaje się być egzemplaryzm wzorcowy. To właśnie oparcie relacji z młodym pokoleniem na doświadczeniach osobistych i świadectwie życia, wyraźnie przebija z przekazu Markiewicza i jego działalności.
Obrazek pierwszokomunijny jako nieodłączny element upamiętniający pierwsze pełne uczestnictwo w sakramencie Eucharystii
Authors: Przywara Agnieszka
Published: April 2022

Życiu człowieka towarzyszą dwie sfery – sacrum i profanum, które nieustannie przenikają się ze sobą. Dotyczy to także wymiaru duchowego i wszelkich wydarzeń religijnych. Dla chrześcijan jednym z nich jest dzień Pierwszej Komunii Świętej, z którym to wiążą się nie tylko przeżycia duchowe, ale też coraz bardziej kwestie materialne. Prawie od samego początku uroczystego celebrowania tego dnia pamiątką pierwszego pełnego uczestnictwa w Eucharystii był obrazek, na którym umieszczano imię i nazwisko dziecka, datę oraz miejsce przyjęcia Pierwszej Komunii Świętej. Z biegiem czasu ta najstarsza pamiątka zmieniała się. Duży wpływ na to miał rozwój technik drukarskich, jak również samo postrzeganie obrazka jako takiego. Wraz z silnym oddziaływaniem konsumpcjonizmu na życie człowieka ranga tej pamiątki pierwszokomunijnej bardzo osłabła. Dziś jest to praktycznie tylko tradycyjny dodatek do bogatych i licznych prezentów, nie wzbudzający pogłębionej refleksji co do sedna przeżywania tego jakże ważnego dnia.
