A Hybrid Artificial Bee Colony for Robust and Coordinated Power System Stabilizer Design
Authors: Santos Anderson Sampaio , Peres Wesley , Passos Filho João A.
Published: November 2021

This paper presents a hybrid optimization method to solve power system stabilizers’ robust and coordinated problem. The tuning procedure is formulated as an optimization problem with the objective of maximizing closed-loop damping coefficients considering various scenarios to ensure robustness. The proposed hybrid method combines the global search based on an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm in food collection with the local search capability of the Quasi-Newton optimization method (Broyden – Fletcher – Goldfarb – Shanno – BFGS). The method is successfully applied to the well-known New England test system and its results outperform the ones provided by conventional ABC, EPSO, PSO and Genetic Algorithm.

The strategical allocation of meters, such as the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU), at Power Distribution Systems (PDS), represents an optimization of the use of monitoring resources. This optimization can contribute to the State Estimation (SE) process, which consists of obtaining an estimated electrical network state without full monitoring. Meta-heuristics are potential methods for application to optimal allocation problems, such as meters in PDS. Still, computational intelligence techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), can be applied to SE, due to its agility in processing available measures. Therefore, this work aims to investigate the potential of associating a meta-heuristic technique, Artificial Immunological System (AIS), for the allocation of meters with the processing agility of ANN for the evaluation of different allocation options. A case study using a well-known test system in the area of knowledge demonstrates the applicability of the proposed hybrid method.
Marine Predators Algorithm Approaches on a Multivariable Fractional PID Controller Tuning
Authors: Lúcio Yan Lieven Souza , Aquino Luiza Scapinello , Coelho Leandro dos Santos
Published: November 2021

In this paper, a performance comparison between the Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA), a metaheuristic paradigm, and two other designed variants for the tuning of a fractional proportional-integrative-derivative (PID) controller in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) application is presented. The practical system plant corresponds to a ball mill pulverizing system, whose structure presents two inputs and two outputs. To encounter the optimal response on the MIMO control of this system a MPA approach applied to PID tuning is suitable, as it presents both the capability to diversify the search space (exploration) and to improve the quality of current solutions (exploitation) in search space. The MPA is a metaheuristic inspired by the extensive hunting strategy of ocean predators called Lévy and Brownian movements, it focuses on an optimal confront rate procedure in natural interaction between predator and prey in the marine ecosystem. The original MPA itself presents a satisfactory performance, in terms of statistical metrics. Nevertheless, it can be improved through the modification and addition of distinct techniques. In order to achieve those modifications, three variants are implemented exploring different procedures namely the oppositional-based learning and application of quantum mechanics. The optimal parameter values for the PID controller are analyzed by minimizing the integral time squared error (ITSE) index of the system’s response. The simulations are performed using the SIMULINK/MATLAB computational environment. Statistical measures including best, mean, median and standard deviation of the system response error for the tuned controllers are evaluated and compared over fifty runs. The obtained results suggest that the use of the mentioned proposals has an advantage in enhancing the tuning efficiency of the MPA in this application.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidative and oxidative status of patients with ascending aortic dilatation using malondialdehyde, an oxidative stress marker, and paraoxonase-1 activity, an antioxidant enzyme.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between August and December 2020. It included 56 consecutive patients (mean age 55.3 ± 8.6 years; range 31 to 67 years; 26 males, 30 females) with ascending aortic dilatation and 33 sex-and age-matched controls (mean age 54.5 ± 10.5 years; range 32 to 67 years; 13 males, 20 females) with normal aortic diameters. All participants were evaluated using transthoracic echocardiography. Malondialdehyde was analyzed using the thiobarbituric acid assay. Paraoxonase-1 activity was measured manually using a spectrophotometer. The relation of ascending aortic dilatation with malondialdehyde levels and paraoxonase-1 activity was identified with correlation analyses.Results: The patient group had significantly higher mean malondialdehyde than the control group (2.5 ± 1.9 μmoL/mL and 1.7 ± 0.3 μmoL/mL, respectively; p < 0.001). The patient group had significantly lower mean activity of paraoxonase-1 than the control group (18.5 ± 12.9 U/mL vs.30 ± 17.6 U/mL, respectively; p < 0.002). Serum malondialdehyde was negatively correlated with ascending aortic diameter (r = 0.293, p = 0.009). A significant negative correlation was found between the activity of serum paraoxonase-1 and ascending aortic diameter (r = -0.364, p = 0.001). Malondialdehyde levels and paraoxonase-1 activity were independent predictors of ascending aortic dilatation.Conclusion: The results are in line with the notion that increased malondialdehyde levels indicate lipid peroxidation, and decreased paraoxonase-1 activity indicates impaired antioxidant defense. Using them may help protect against the pathophysiology of ascending aortic dilatation.

Glucokinase Activators and DPP-IV Inhibitors for the Future Synthesis
of Silver Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Chavan Ajinkya , Daniel Kratika , Patel Ansar M.
Published: November 2021

Background:

Diabetes has a large death toll worldwide, particularly as it falls into the ten
leading causes of death. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) occurs as the body becomes resistant to insulin
and sugar accumulates in the blood. It has been observed that dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors
and glucokinase activators are known therapeutic agents to treat T2DM. Among the possible
medicinal plants, Gymnema sylvestre (GyS) belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is traditionally used
for the treatment of different diseases. This plant is also known as “Gurmur” because it has a sugarreducing
ability. GyS is known to be one of the main botanicals for the treatment of diabetes.

Objective:

Considering the studies described above, we have tried to investigate the natural DPP-IV inhibitors
and potent glucokinase activators from the phytoconstituents of GyS. New drug candidates from
the medicinal plant GyS have been reported as potent DPP-IV inhibitors and glucokinase activators.

Methods:

As a preliminary investigation, we have studied the effectiveness of phytoconstituents of GyS
in T2DM through molecular docking as a proof of concept of synthesizing silver nanoparticles (for the
treatment of T2DM) using an extract of this plant.

Results:

The present investigative research shows that the recognized compounds included in the present
analysis have important values in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The nine compounds selected
are evaluated on the basis of DPP-IV and glucokinase enzyme binding energy values and their drug
properties. Except for quercitol, all the selected compounds have exhibited much more potent glucokinase
activation potential than their native ligands. Gymnemasin A, lupeol, gymnemoside A, gymnemasaponin
V, and gymnemic acid I have shown excellent DPP-IV inhibitory potential.

Conclusion:

We aimed to synthesize the silver nanoparticles from the leaf extract of GyS for the treatment
of T2DM. As a preliminary investigation, we have studied the effectiveness of phytoconstituents
of GyS in T2DM through molecular docking as proof of synthesizing silver nanoparticles (for the treatment
of T2DM) using an extract of this plant. As a result of the present investigation, it has been concluded
that these compounds can be used to treat T2DM, and hence, in the future, we can synthesize the
silver nanoparticles from the GyS extract for the treatment of T2DM.

Authors: Suleymanli Mubariz
Published: November 2021

The end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, characterized by the expansion of enlightenment, development of education, press and art in Azerbaijan, marked by many cultural events, went down in history as the formation of national thought and national statehood. But these facts have been ignored for many years, and were presented from a subjective and biased point of view during the Soviet times. However, the cultural heritage of that period, especially the reforms implemented in 1918-1920 to give equal rights to all citizens, regardless of ethnic, religious and political affiliation, gender, state attributes and reforms in education, science and culture, restored the state independence of the Azerbaijan people. In this sense, the study of cultural processes and modernization in Azerbaijan, including cultural reforms during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (1918-1920) is relevant both in the terms of studying historical experience and the successful implementation of cultural construction and integration into the world in modern times. The main purpose of the study is to explore the cultural basis of the process of historical renewal and modernization in Azerbaijan, to use the results of this experience in building a modern democratic civil society.
Elements of the social system
Authors: Sukadi Imam , Chauhan Rahul , Artha Ruly , Rajpurohit Neel , Ibrahim Mohd. Hairy
Published: November 2021

In a social system it is not the nature of the means that matters. The focus of sociologists' attention lies in the problem of use as a process that is closely related to social systems. For example, in today's world there are people who do not want to eat pork, beef or horse, but for the cow, or horse, they are only a means, namely food for many people. This happens because of differences in value. In a social system there will be elements of pressure and tension. This arises because not even two people have exactly the same interpretation of the role and position of status, in any social system. The social system will experience pressure if there are differences in interpretation and when those differences turn into patterns of action. Tension is a form of behavior that cannot be separated from pressure because pressure is the source of restraint. This tension is closely related to the level of restraint received by a person from an individual or group. This restraint is intended by the pressure to avoid the tendency to deviate from the norm. Of course, those who are oppressed or restrained face it with tension.

Published: November 2021

The problems of organizing interactive learning in higher education are discussed, taking into account the prospective introduction of new educational standards. It is noted that the emphasis on the use of professional standards in the existing conditions will lead to a decrease in the creative component of graduate training, and the lack of the possibility of real practice will lead to dogmatism and scholasticism. The high dynamics of technical and technological transformations and transformations of the economic sphere in the Russian Federation against the background of global challenges demonstrates the discrepancy between the paces of individual training of high-class professionals. According to the author, the problem is not the transition beyond the boundaries of habitual work; the main attention should be paid to the "smart" future. Complex technologies require significantly more time than before to master the profession. Domestic specialized education should certainly be linked to the spatial development of Russia, which has a huge territory and corresponding local-territorial specifics. Job security – as a tactical emphasis disappears irrevocably within the borders of the region and the industry, giving way for adaptation to the market of local labor and also rapidly and freely moving capital.

Peculiarity of the concept of a hero in the novel of Vladimir Nabokov “Lolita” Humbert
Authors: Azizaliyeva Basira
Published: November 2021

“Lolita” written by Vladimir Nabokov has been considered as an important occasion in the history of world literature for its theme and concept of its characters. Humbert is one of the main characters in the novel “Lolita” with literary mission, serving to demonstrate several psychological and physiological problems, reflecting reasons and effects of various problems that were actual for the society during that time. Since “Lolita” was written during the period when postmodernism influence was observed in the works of Nabokov, it is very noticeable to find postmodern tendencies in the writer’s style and in his main character. While assessing Humbert in this context, author’s original approach becomes apparent due to some occasions which are caused by psychological and physiological problems. For this purpose, research on interpretation of Humbert’s stance showed that Humbert’s attitude towards Lolita and his controversial traits are presented in comparison with Freud psychoanalytic theory. Comparative analysis has showed that Humbert is a character who directly affects interpretation of characters and evaluation of events. It involves tendencies of that time and takes upon a mission to analyse existing wishes of human that can’t be openly expressed and to reveal threats that are triggered by those traits.

Authors: Konovalova Iryna Yu
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to comprehension of specifics and formation prerequisites of composer’s and musical authorship phenomena historical formation in European culture of the Middle Ages. Genesis of composer’s phenomenon and individual musical authorship model is considered on the basis of historical, socio-cultural and aesthetic-artistic transformations, on awareness about their dynamic’s tendencies and general cultural institutionalization of an authorship phenomenon, as well as on an increasing role of individual creativity in an artistic realm.
