Authors: Ana Moura , Filipa Teixeira , Conceição Nogueira , Ana Henriques , Cláudia de Freitas , Elisabete Alves
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Surviving a stroke and caring for a survivor, impacts individuals’ psychological health and quality of life, which may impose substantial costs on healthcare and social systems. This study aims to understand and explore the psychological health, experiences, needs and quality of life of Portuguese stroke survivors and their informal carers. Methods and analysis: This is a mixed-methods, observational study. The methodological strategy relies on 1) scoping review; 2) questionnaires to stroke survivors hospitalized between September 2018 and August 2019 in one of the 12 Stroke Units of the Northern Region Health Administration of Portugal and their informal carers, 18-24 months after the event (1775 survivors and 443 carers); and 3) semi-structured interviews to a subsample of stroke survivors (n = 49) and informal carers (n = 37); and 4) think tanks with stakeholders involved in the stroke rehabilitation process, namely stroke survivors, informal carers, researchers, and health and social professionals (n = 45). Descriptive and inferential statistics will be used to analyze the quantitative data, and content and interpretational analysis will be implemented to assess qualitative data. Ethics and dissemination: The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committees of all the hospitals involved. The expected dissemination actions are effective tools in designing strategies that aim to promote knowledge on a needs-driven, socioethical sensitive basis, which will contribute to the implementation of a model of coproduction of health in the context of post-stroke care.
Doğal bitki türlerinin kentsel alanlardaki bitkisel tasarımlarda kullanımı
Authors: TIRNAKÇI Aslihan , AKLIBAŞINDA Meliha
Published: May 2023

Bitkiler gerek estetik gerekse işlevsel özellikleri ile kentsel açık-yeşil alanların en önemli bileşenidir. Türkiye 12 binin üzerinde doğal bitki türü ve 3000’nin üzerinde endemik bitki türü ile zengin bir biyolojik çeşitliliğe sahiptir. Bu biyolojik çeşitlilik bitkisel tasarımlar için farklı nitelikte kompozisyonların oluşturulmasında yüksek bir potansiyele sahiptir. Peyzaj tasarımlarında yaşanabilir mekânlar oluşturmada bitkiler ile mekânlara hem estetik hem de işlevsel değer kazandırılmaktadır. Özellikle estetik/işlevsel değerlere sahip ve ekolojik toleransları yüksek bitki türleri bitkisel tasarımlar için oldukça önemlidir. Bu bağlamda doğal bitki örtüsünden faydalanarak yapılan peyzaj tasarımları ekolojik temelli ve sürdürülebilir alternatifler sunmaktadır. Ancak kentsel alanlarda doğal bitki örtüsünden yeterli ve verimli düzeyde yararlanılmamaktadır.
Bu çalışmada, Nevşehir’de doğal yayılış gösteren ağaç, ağaççık, çalı, sarılıcı ve yer örtücü olmak üzere farklı ölçülerde 38 adet bitki taksonu belirlenmiş, kentsel alanlarda bu bitkilerle nasıl mekânlar oluşturulabileceğine yönelik bir tasarım senaryosu geliştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak bitkisel tasarımlarda doğal türlerle de estetik ve fonksiyonel yönden etkili tasarımlar yapılabileceği ortaya konmuştur. Bu bağlamda sürdürülebilir ve ekonomik uygulamalar açısından yüksek potansiyele sahip doğal türlerin açık-yeşil alanlarda kullanımı teşvik edilmeli ve kültüre alınarak kullanımı yaygınlaştırılmalıdır.

Correlations between the Pronominal Address Forms, Origin (Urban/Rural) and Age: The Case of College Students in Medellin (Colombia)
Authors: Jang Ji Son
Published: May 2023

In this paper we are going to present some results of a research about pronominal selection among university students in the city of Medellin (Colombia). We have done so considering the following social variables: 1) urban or rural origin of the informant and his/her parents; 2) the average age of respondents. To carry out this research, a questionnaire, which lists different types of interactions from the university students from Medellin was implemented and 806 answers were obtained. In order to analyze the data, we: 1) estimated optimal sample size for polynomial distributions (Thompson, 1987); 2) applied Contingency tables (Cochran, 1952); 3) Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test (Kruskal & Wallis, 1952); and 4) Analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistics show that : 1) students from rural areas with parents of the same origin tend to use more usted than tú/ vos in most interpersonal relationships, and more vos than tú almost exclusively when they are addressing their boy/girlfriend; 2) the average age for the selection of usted is higher than for the selection of tú/vos in most cases, and just in certain cases the average age is higher using tú than the average age using vos.
Abductive Hypothesis as a Teaching Strategy for Research in the Classroom
Authors: Moreno Torres Mónica , Carvajal Córdoba Edwin , Arango Escobar Yeimy
Published: May 2023

This text addresses the question of how to translate abductive hypothesis in a teaching strategy for classroom research. Its understanding and interpretation is based on methodological procedures of the Peircean speech applied in education and literature, and of the logic of scientific reasoning based on abduction, deduction and induction. A teaching case is presented in which procedures of the abductive hypothesis are applied, which indicates as a result, the advantages of education for the promotion of rational freedom in the classroom, respecting the individual differences of students, their physical welfare and aesthetic taste. Finally, it was concluded that the application of abductive hypothesis in education requires creative use of knowledge, founded on the logic of scientific reasoning, which breaks with the rationalist view of induction and deduction, and in conception of methods of science as liberating acts to stimulate the ability to investigate, judge and act in the midst of diversity, in opposition to a homogeneous view of society.
dynamics of curriculum and the evolution of autonomy in learning English as a Foreign Language
Authors: Cabrales Vargas Myriam del Carmen , Cáceres Jaime Andrés
Published: May 2023

This research, carried out at the language teaching graduate program of Universidad de San Buenaventura, studies how autonomy evolves when learning English from basic to higher levels. It considers the management of learning and some components of curricular dynamics, such as the contents of subjects, classwork and independent tasks. This is a descriptive-comparative type of research of diachronic nature which, by means of analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, allowed us to characterize and compare the elements being studied. The results led to the conclusion that although the curriculum implicitly offers many elements which foster autonomy, autonomy evolves relatively slowly from one level to the other. For this reason, an organized and well supported plan to promote learners' autonomy must be implemented explicitly if students are to evolve in this area.
Role-plays versus natural data: asking for a drink at a cafeteria in Peninsular Spanish
Authors: Bataller Fuster Rebeca
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to compare the data collected, via two methods, from two groups of Peninsular Spanish native speakers in a service encounter scenario. The methods chosen are open role-plays and naturally occurring interactions, two frequently used approaches in the field of pragmatics. The naturalistic data from this study consisted of request-for-service transactions at cafeterias in Valencia, Spain; these were recorded with audio equipment and then analyzed at the illocutionary and discourse levels. The features analyzed were the strategies and mitigating devices used in all phases of the interactions. The structure and length of interactions from each dataset were also compared. The results of this comparative study indicate that the role-play data resembled the naturalistic interactions in some respects, but there were also some significant differences between the two datasets that may be attributed to the particular type of collection method.
Whole Education: An Approach from Research
Authors: Díaz Monsalve Ana Elsy , Quiroz Posada Ruth Elena
Published: May 2023

In this article, the results of a research inquiring about representations that primary education English teachers from some public institutions in the city of Medellin, Colombia have about ideal of comprehensive education are presented. From a qualitative research approach, an open-ended question survey was implemented to 19 teachers and subsequently an in-depth interview was carried out to 5 teachers. Information collected was subject to the technique of critical discourse analysis by Teun Van Dijk (2003). The main findings revealed that these representations show five main thematic areas: (1) whole education for a multidimensional human being; (2) education of a valuable human being; (3) whole education, foreign language learning and different culture approaching; (4) whole education, foreign language teaching and autonomous people; (5) whole education and communicative competence in foreign language. It was found that teachers' representations about whole education have a marked ethic and moral, values and rules emphasis—and that it, being analyzed from foreign language teaching, must not be limited to basic linguistic structures usage in daily and immediate communication contexts.
“The moment of testimonio is over”: theoretical issues and perspectives of testimonial studies
Authors: Fernández Benítez Hans M.
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this text is to explore the main ideas and issues in the theory surrounding testimonial literature, and to analyze the discussions that brought the genre to a close; these discussions did not take into account the fact that the theoretical-methodological crisis affected the field of testimo­nial studies but did not affect the creation of new testimonies. Hence, the theory of testimonial literature in Latin America emerged from two works (Biography of a Runaway Slave and I, Rigoberta Menchú), is based on the Marxist concept of class struggle, and acknowledges only one type. Tes­timonies that do not fit this model have lost importance or been ignored.  Although testimonial studies have entered a crisis, new testimonies conti­nue to be produced. Finally, we posit the need to rekindle the debate based on different corpora and other categories of analysis.

Authors: Neva Carolina , Landa María , Carter Beverly Anne , Ibrahim-Ali Amina
Published: May 2023

The objective is to study how participation in tandem partnership influences the motivation towards the target language and culture and the autonomy of learners of Spanish as a foreign language in Trinidad and Tobago. For this reason, an ac­tion research project was conducted with thirty-three learners of Spanish in Trinidad and thirty-three learners of English in Colombia, who engaged in a seven week tele-collaboration during which they used email and Web 2.0 technologies to communicate. Data were collected through questionnaires and a weekly journal. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were carried out. As a result the project was a rich source of learning for all the partici­pants and stresses the need of a deeper understanding of learners' language learning, an analysis of the sociocultural, psycholinguistic, and linguistic dimensions of intercultural competence in a specific context, and the critical assessment of the role of Web 2.0 technologies in fostering autonomy.

The Use of Foreign Language Learning Strategies in English and French
Authors: Orrego Luz Mery , Díaz Monsalve Ana Elsy
Published: May 2023

Objective: To identify conceptions about learning held by students and teachers in the undergraduate Foreign Language Teaching program at the University of Antioquia School of Languages and the frequency with which students use learning strategies to develop communicative competence in English and French. Method: An exploratory and descriptive study was conducted using qualitative and quantitative method. Students and teachers participated in semi-structured interviews individually and in groups, and the students' self-assessment of their learning process was analyzed. Students' learning strategies were described using the questionnaire ''Strategy Inventory for Language Learning'' (version 5.1, Oxford, 1990).Results: For the students, learning is an intellectual development process that requires the use of skills specific to a foreign language. Teachers' conceptions can be classified under four theories of learning: behaviorist, psycholinguistic, pragmatic, and sociocultural. Regarding the use of learning strategies, results show that affective and memory strategies are the least frequently used, whereas cognitive, social, and compensation strategies are the most frequently used. Conclusions: The qualitative analysis of the students' and teachers' conceptions indicates that there are differences in the use of learning strategies between the two languages. However, the quantitative results of the study evidence that, in both English and French, students use learning strategies with the same frequency and in the same way.

Reproach and Silence from the Perspective of Politeness Theory: Pragmalinguistic Analysis of Gabriel García Márquez’s Diatribe of Love against a Seated Man
Authors: Vallejo Zapata Víctor Julián
Published: May 2023

This article presents some findings of a pragmalinguistic analysis of Gabriel García Márquez's Diatribe of Love against a Seated Man, specifically those related to politeness theory and conversation analysis. The analysis focuses on reproach and silence, put forward as the unique resource of the drama protagonists, Graciela and her husband. All the utterances consisting of these communicative acts were selected; for reproach, the face-threatening level was established, also distinguishing when it points to the positive face or the negative one; for silence, refusal to comply with the Transition Relevance Place (TRP) and Moves were established. Some conclusions are that reproach works as a speech act that threatens against both images simultaneously; on the other hand, the husband's silence is communicatively characterized, identifying its meaning despite its devoid of propo-sitional content.
Standards-Based Content Resources: A Prerequisite for Content Inte-gration and Content Interoperability
Authors: Galinski Christian
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this article is to show how standards-based approaches for content standardization, content management, content related services and tools as well as the respective certification systems not only guarantee relia­ble content integration and content interoperability, but also are of particular benefit to people with special needs in eAccessibility/eInclusion. The method was to document MoU/MG/05 N0221 "Semantic Interoperability and the need for a coherent policy for a framework of distributed, possibly federated repositories for all kinds of content items on a world-wide scale", which was adopted in 2005, was a first step towards the formulation of global interope­rability requirements for structured content. These requirements -based on advanced terminological principles- were taken up in EU-projects such as IN-SAFETY (INfrastructure and SAFETY) and OASIS (Open Architecture for Accessible Services Integration and Standardization). The results found were: Content integration and content interoperability are key concepts in connection with the emergence of state-of-the-art distributed and federated databases/repositories of structured content. Given the fact that linguistic content items are increasingly combined with or embedded in non-linguistic content items (and vice versa), a systemic and generic approach to data mo­deling and content management has become the order of the day. Fulfilling the requirements of capability for multilinguality and multimodality, based on open standards makes software and database design fit for eAccessibili­ty/eInclusion from the outset. It also makes structured content capable for global content integration and content interoperability, because it enhances its potential for being re-used and re-purposed in totally different eApplica­tions. Such content as well as the methods, tools and services applied can be subject to new kinds of certification schemes which also should be based on standards. Taking everything into account content must be totally reliable in some applications, e.g. in eAccessibility/ eInclusion. New methods and tools for certification, verification and validation are largely facilitated by standards-based data-models and standardized content, which will have an impact on future ICT-related standards in general. While thus increasing the reliability of data, risk of all sorts and liability will be reduced.

Language of Images and the Development of Critical Attitudes in the Classroom: A Didactic Proposal for the Reading of Visual Signs
Authors: Barragán Gómez Rafael Alberto , Gómez Moreno Wilson
Published: May 2023

As a part of the project ''Didactic of the Image'', sponsored by Vicerrectoría de Investigaciones y Extensión de la Universidad Industrial de Santander (code 5229), the need for an interpretative study of the relationship between the imaginary and the teaching performance of educators concerning the visual image (or to be exact, concerning the visual signs) has been proposed. Based on the findings derived from this ethnographic work, we aspire to lay the foundations of a specific didactic method which can address this type of signification systems, not only as instruments that facilitate the apprehension of abstract notions by the students, but also as teaching and learning objects whose understanding implies complex thought processes. For this reason, this article proposes, firstly, a theoretical basis which supports the complex cognitive operations involved in the reading of any image; secondly, it attempts to corroborate the above thesis ascribing an argumentative nature to a kind of image– specifically to the political cartoon, considered text and discourse by virtue of its tendency to use sophisticated rhetorical operations inherent to the visual signs–all with the aim to argue that reading images is a process that also promotes critical thought among students in the same way that written texts do.
An Approach to Translation Didactics of English-Spanish Scientific and Technical Texts
Authors: Gómez Norman , Gómez Jorge Iván
Published: May 2023

This article shows some reflections obtained from the project ''Approximation to the translation of scientific and technical texts''. The project was carried out following these steps: search and selection of curricular information and readings about translation as a theoretical support for the proposal; creation of the Handbook for Teaching Translation of Scientific and Technical Texts: English/ Spanish, including its learning portfolio to evaluate its workshops; testing of some workshops and implementation of strategies for its divulgation. This project evidenced the shortage of programs for studying translation of scientific and technical texts in Colombia; the lack of consensus in the conceptualization of the text types referred as specialized languages and the need for revising the rigid structure followed, in general, by the existing translation handbooks. This handbook can be used in different translation settings, thanks to the universality of the technical and scientific languages and to the features it presents. However, it is necessary to continue testing its results in different settings in order to deepen in the research of the didactics of translation.

School Administration in the Implementation of the Bilingual Colombia Program in Private Educational Institutions in Cali (Colombia)
Authors: Miranda Norbella , Echeverry Ángela
Published: May 2023

This text aims to describe and analyze the management performed by school administrators for the implementation of the Bilingual Colombia Program (BCP) in private educational institutions of monolingual tradition located in strata 1 to 4 in Cali (Colombia). For this, we carried out a descriptive research which, through statistics and correlation, incorporated quantitative and qualitative interpretation of the information contained in surveys, the institutional educational projects and what the language education policy dictates. The research results showed advances in the implementation of the policy in some schools that have restructured their school dynamics and curriculum towards the attainment of better levels of language competence of their students; however, in most schools unawareness of key issues of school management to develop better language learning processes prevails. It can be concluded that there is a need to lead actions in the school community that acknowledge the new role of foreign language in education and to manage learning opportunities so that students can achieve the expected levels of language competence. Besides, stronger support from government agencies to this sector is needed.
CLILL: Colombia Leading into Content Language Learning
Authors: Rodríguez Bonces Mónica
Published: May 2023

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been adopted by many nations as a methodology to reach bilingualism. Nonetheless, the implementation of CLIL in Colombia goes beyond teaching a core area in English. It implies a long process, including multiple factors to achieve success. This article presents a general background of the process of bilingualism in Colombia and how different kinds of institutions approach this governmental policy through a critical reflection. The paper presents the challenges when adopting Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as a strategy to achieve bilingualism. Four key aspects are described to reach the goal of having a bilingual territory: language learning approach, teacher training, development of materials, and cultural and intercultural competence. It is argued that bilingualism may be achieved in the long term by addressing these four aspects when implementing CLIL.

The article describes the basic principles of operation of the finite element mesh generator SMCMGrid, which is an integral part of the SMCM software package designed to solve problems in the mechanics of composite materials and structures, which was developed at the Scientific-educational center on supercomputer modeling and software engineering of Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU SIMPLEX CENTER). The paper describes a software pipeline for constructing high-quality tetrahedral unstructured meshes for arbitrary shape B-rep models based on constrained Delaunay triangulation. We have presented the main algorithms for generating meshes on the edges and surfaces of the model, which make it possible to create the so-called simplicial complex, for which it is then possible to construct a constrained Delaunay triangulation and create the final tetrahedral mesh of the required quality. The mesh is generated in a Riemannian space with a given metric that takes into account the required characteristics of the mesh at each point of the geometric model. We gave examples of finite element meshes for various geometric models of engineering structure elements, including composite materials, and also demonstrated the adequacy of the results of solving the elasticity problem on a mesh built using the SMCMGrid generator. The results of the work led to the conclusion that the presented generator can be used to solve problems of engineering analysis and modeling.
Digital Platforms and Infrastructure in the Realm of Culture
Authors: Hesmondhalgh David , Valverde Raquel Campos , Kaye D. Bondy Valdevinos , Li Zhongwei
Published: May 2023

The concepts of (digital) platform and (digital) infrastructure have been widely used and discussed in recent media research, and in neighbouring fields such as science and technology studies (STS). Yet there is considerable confusion about these concepts and the relations between them. This article seeks to bring these concepts together more coherently by showing how “platformisation” might be understood in terms of its impacts on information infrastructure, including on the principles of openness and generativity underlying early internet architecture, and potential further effects on media and culture deriving from those impacts. To develop this perspective, we draw on research from legal studies which: (a) articulates these principles more fully than in recent media studies and STS; (b) understands infrastructures as resources subject to political contestation; and (c) in the work of Julie Cohen, interprets digital platforms as strategies for disciplining infrastructures. We discuss how such a perspective might complement approaches to digital platforms and infrastructures to be found in political economy of media and internet governance research. We then apply the perspective to a case study: the transition of online music from chaotic experiments with alternative models of distribution in the early century to a thoroughly platformised environment in the 2020s.
New Frontiers for Political Communication in Times of Spectacularization
Authors: Gómez-García Salvador , Zamora Rocío , Berrocal Salomé
Published: May 2023

Political spectacularization is a broad global phenomenon challenging contemporary digital political communication under new features that define interactive digital narratives. In this sense, the use of politainment formulas in digital contexts to reconnect the electorate with political leaders and institutions through a more direct and interactive communication deserves further understanding of its implications on the devaluation of political information and the loss of democratic quality. This thematic issue sheds some light on how the spectacularization of political communication, which increasingly takes place in online contexts, affects and is affected by these processes, where entertainment is crucial to engage citizens. In this editorial, we provide a short overview of how research on politainment has started to shift its attention away from traditional media toward the wide array of lenses of politainment among digital platforms. The articles in this thematic issue reflect this shift but also show its consequences in terms of political engagement. Finally, we outline further research steps, which should establish a more nuanced and multifaceted understanding of the complex relationship between political communication, entertainment, and new digital communication formulas, which is crucial to advance knowledge in the field.
Patterns of Growth: Operationalizing Alexander’s “Web Way of Thinking”
Authors: Mehaffy Michael W.
Published: May 2023

Christopher Alexander was often characterized—and sometimes seemed to characterize himself—as “sui generis,” a radical and perhaps even eccentric thinker on architecture, technology, culture, and nature. That perception in turn has led many to dismiss Alexander’s work as too idiosyncratic to be operationalized in the pragmatic world of planning and building. Here we show, however, that Alexander’s core ideas have strong parallels in contemporary network science, mathematics, physics, and philosophy, and in the pragmatic world of technological design (including computer software). We highlight a remaining gap in translating Alexander’s work into practical tools and strategies for implementation—a gap that is tantalizingly near to being bridged.
Orthodox confessions in Ukraine during Covid-19: the comparative analysis of functioning

The coronavirus pandemic has intensified changes in the government's relations with religious organizations not only around the world, but also in Ukraine. That is why it appears not only as a threat, but also as a challenge. Religious understanding focuses not so much on the study of the causes of epidemics, diseases, etc., but focuses on highlighting the specifics of the functioning of religious organizations, including Orthodox in such a crisis, the peculiarities of state-confessional relations during a pandemic, as well as disclosing potential consequences. both for the clergy and the laity. Domestic Orthodox denominations, as well as other religious organizations in general, found themselves between the threat of full-fledged worship and the challenge of new forms of communication between the clergy and the faithful. In particular, the PCU has clearly followed the instructions of the WHO, the Ministry of Health and the government regarding compliance with restrictions on the functioning of religious organizations. However, all this resulted in discussions within the clergy about the potential introduction of online sacraments such as Communion and Confession. At the same time, the position of the head of the UOC-KP, Patriarch Filaret, was as follows: a pandemic is not a reason to deviate from the established practice of worshiping the Orthodox Church. This manifested itself in the fact that the UOC clergy often ignored quarantine restrictions, especially in large monasteries. We believe that such intransigence of the UOC representatives to the recommendations and restrictions imposed by the state authorities is due to the fact that it is in this Orthodox denomination that a fairly large number of fundamentalist believers are observed.
New pharmacotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma
Authors: Sorokina M. А. , Rakhteenko A. V. , Grishina T. R.
Published: May 2023

Today, it is difficult to overestimate the new directions in the pharmacotherapy of peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL): immunotherapy, including adoptive, targeted therapy and chemotherapy. However, there are few biomarkers that predict response to therapy. A big problem is patients with refractory and recurrent PTCL who do not respond to such therapy or demonstrate adverse events, which makes it important to personalize therapy and search for predictive markers, followed by thorough analytical and clinical validation.

Sales is a basic standpoint for business growth. Demand for consumer products decides the success rate of every business resulting in a profit. Proper analysis of the consumer interest in a particular product decides future sales. The ordinary tactics for sales and promotion objectives no longer help businesses keep up with the speed of a challenging market because it goes out with no knowledge of consumer buying habits. As a consequence of technological developments, significant changes can be seen in the domains of marketing and selling. As a result of such developments, multiple important factors such as consumers' buying habits, target people, and forecasting sales for the coming years can be readily determined, assisting the sales crew in developing strategies to achieve an upsurge in their company. This paper investigates the use of Association Rule Learning with Feature Extraction to forecast sales performance in order to recognise buyers. The consumer's related goods are identified using the association framework. Data on buying activities are derived from purchase invoices provided by the business. The outcome of both is utilized to create a company strategy. Support, Confidence, and Lift are the metrics used for evaluating the quality of association rules produced by the model. Based on the buyers’ preferences this paper forecasts retail shop sales and predicts the association relation between the products by feature extraction with Association rule learning to improve future sales. The suggested approach is employed to discover the most common pairings of items found in the business. This will assist with promotion and revenue. This method can help you find intriguing cross-selling and connected goods. The WEKA tool was used to evaluate the correctness of the Association rule that was created.

State estimate serves a crucial purpose in the control centre of a modern power system. Voltage phasor of buses in such configurations is referred to as state variables that should be determined during operation. A precise estimation is needed to define the optimal operation of all components. So many mathematical and heuristic techniques can be used to achieve the aforementioned objective. An enhanced power system state estimator built on the cuckoo search algorithm is described in this work. Several scenarios, including the influence of load uncertainty and the likelihood of false data injection as significant challenges in electrical energy networks, are proposed to analyses the operation of estimators. The ability to identify and correct false data is also assessed in this regard. Additionally, the performance of the presented estimator is compared to that of the weighted least squares and Cuckoo Search algorithm. The findings demonstrate that the Cuckoo search algorithm overcomes the primary shortcomings of the conventional approaches, including accuracy and complexity, and is also better able to identify and rectify incorrect data. On IEEE 14-bus and 30-bus test systems, simulations are run to show how well the method works.

The purpose of this research was to suggest a junction-less strategy for a vertical Tunnel Field Effect Transistor, which would increase the device's efficiency. In this study, we examine the similarities and differences between a negative capacitor TFET and a vertically generated TFET with a source pocket and a heterostructure-based nanowire gate. And how the channel transit impacts the output qualities of a sub-100 nanometer sized device. The Silvaco TCAD (a commercially available tool) was used to simulate a tri-layer high-K dielectric made of hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) materials as gate stacking to the V-TFET and GAA-NC-TFET structures, and the tunnelling and transport parameters were calibrated experimentally. A short bandgap material, GaSb, in the home region to enhance carrier tunnelling via the mentioned three source (GaSb)-channel (Si) heterojunction at varying biases were utilized. Motion, tube length, and saturating velocity are only few of the transport channel characteristics that are investigated. As a result of the building's vertical orientation, the electric field is enhanced, allowing for an ION current of up to 104 Am2. The most unexpected result of this device is that a high ION/IOFF may increase mobility and reduce saturation velocity, perhaps reducing the drain voltage at saturation. The proposed biosensor's sensitivity was multiplied by 108 when vertical and lateral tunnelling were used in tandem. We apply a variety of optimisation strategies to deal with this problem, despite the fact that quantum confinement reduces the effect of mobility variations on device performance. When biomolecules were positively charged, the drain current increased, and when they were negatively charged, the drain current decreased.
Lancaster Stem Sammon Projective Feature Selection based Stochastic eXtreme Gradient Boost Clustering for Web Page Ranking

Web content mining retrieves the information from web in more structured forms. The page rank plays an essential part in web content mining process. Whenever user searches for any information on web, the relevant information is shown at top of list through page ranking. Many existing page ranking algorithms were developed and failed to rank the web pages in accurate manner through minimum time feeding. In direction to address the above mentioned issues, Lancaster Stem Sammon Projective Feature Selection based Stochastic eXtreme Gradient Boost Clustering (LSSPFS-SXGBC) Approach is introduced for page ranking based on user query. LSSPFS-SXGBC Approach has three processes for performing efficient web page ranking, namely preprocessing, feature selection and clustering. LSSPFS-SXGBC Approach in account of the numeral of operator request by way of an input. Lancaster Stemming Preprocessed Analysis is carried out in LSSPFS-SXGBC Approach for removing the noisy data from the input query. It eradicates the stem words, stop words and incomplete data for minimizing the time and space consumption. Sammon Projective Feature Selection Process is carried out in LSSPFS-SXGBC Approach to select the relevant features (i.e., keywords) based on user needs for efficient page ranking. Sammon Projection maps the high-dimensional space to lower dimensionality space to preserve the inter-point distance structure. After feature selection, Stochastic eXtreme Gradient Boost Page Rank Clustering process is carried out to cluster the similar keyword web pages based on their rank. Gradient Boost Page Rank Cluster is an ensemble of several weak clusters (i.e., X-means cluster). X-means cluster partitions the web pages into ‘x’ numeral of clusters where each reflection goes towards the cluster through adjacent mean value. For every weak cluster, selected features are considered as the training samples. Subsequently, all weak clusters are joined to form the strong cluster for attaining the webpage ranking results. By this way, an efficient page ranking is carried out through higher accurateness and minimum time consumption. The practical validation is carried out in LSSPFS-SXGBC Approach on factors such ranking accurateness, false positive rate, ranking time and space complexity with respect to numeral of user query.
