Quantification and Comparative Analysis of Environmental Factors to Large-Scale Solar Plant’s Energy Performance via Regression and Linear Correlation Models
Authors: Ballina Jazael , Go Yun Ii
Published: January 2025

Performance degradation, including system deterioration, corrosion, and energy loss in solar PV systems, can be caused by environmental conditions such as high humidity, frequent rainfall, and temperature swings in tropical nations. Over the years, photovoltaic energy has been successfully developed to have low production costs and high efficiency. It has been the main reason that solar energy is one of the fastest-growing renewable energies in the world, with a generation of 821 TWh of electricity since 2021, representing 23% incremental from the previous record. Even though photovoltaic technology is the preferred renewable energy due to the abundant availability of solar energy, one of its challenges is the significant reduction in the performance, power output, and efficiency caused by its installation directly into the open atmosphere and to the environmental phenomena translating into potentially avoidable economic losses. Various factors related to energy degradation are related to ambient temperature, dust particles, water droplets, shading, wind speed, humidity, and other climate parameters, particularly in tropical climate conditions. It quantifies the relationship of the least and most significant measurements using various techniques. These include computation of correlation coefficients, linear regression methods, and statistical evaluations. This study applies statistical methods such as the Pearson, Kendall, and Spearman correlation coefficients, ARIMA forecasting models, and regression analysis to assess how tropical environmental factors affect solar energy yield. Historical energy data from a large-scale solar plant located in Malaysia is adopted. The selected performance parameters are energy yield and plane of irradiance energy generated by the photovoltaic panels. The results found that humidity and temperature impact PV system performance the most. This work is significant, especially in countries with tropical climates. It provides a reference model with similar weather and energy data that plans to implement large-scale solar power projects as a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Based on the research’s findings, mitigating strategies like regular panel cleaning, enhanced monitoring systems, and predictive maintenance plans are recommended to reduce the effects of these climate-induced losses. This work aligns with UN-SDG on clean energy and contributes towards the national net-zero target in meeting the global energy challenge 2030. The beneficiaries include the National Energy Commission, regulators, urban planners, solar plant owners’ national utility providers, etc. This paper contributes to improving the operational effectiveness of solar PV systems in tropical countries, supporting Malaysia’s efforts to attain its energy transition goals.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Sleep plays a crucial role in the immune system, memory, and emotional control, which in turn affects overall quality of life. Although several studies have used wearable devices to measure sleep efficiency, these tools primarily monitor sleep patterns without offering strategies to improve sleep efficiency.

OBJECTIVE

In response, our study introduced a framework that not only measures sleep efficiency using wearable technology but also suggests lifestyle changes to enhance sleep quality, using explainable artificial intelligence.

METHODS

Lifelog data was measured using a smartwatch and only features that can be controlled by the user, such as the number of steps, were extracted from the lifelog data. A light gradient-boosted machine was utilized as a classifier to predict whether sleep efficiency was low or high. Using Shapley additive explanation, important features related to sleep efficiency, such as walking speed were identified and lifestyles were recommended to improve sleep efficiency. We also investigated the relationship between sleep efficiency and sleep stages, which were excluded from the features extracted as uncontrolled factors from wearable devices.

RESULTS

Results show that, following a 10-fold leave-one-subject-out cross-validation evaluation, an accuracy rate of 80% was achieved in measuring sleep efficiency. In a scenario where lifestyle was adjusted according to the feature importance derived from the model output, an improvement from bad to good sleep efficiency was observed. In addition, the sleep stage variables were found to be statistically higher for the cases exhibiting good sleep efficiency.

CONCLUSIONS

This framework provides insights into developing technologies that suggest lifestyle changes to enhance sleep efficiency, potentially leading to better health outcomes through improved sleep quality.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into healthcare, offering a wide array of benefits. Current AI applications encompass patients’ diagnosis, treatment, data mining, and more, to enhance patient care and quality of life. It is also democratizing access to expert support by providing timely and accurate disease diagnoses, better clinical management, quicker drug discovery, improved disease prevention, big data management, and health protection.

OBJECTIVE

This study was designed to review AI adoption in healthcare, assess its usefulness in management of healthcare delivery, and leadership of healthcare systems, and to identify characteristics of early adopters.

METHODS

We conducted a world-wide cross-sectional survey across all six inhabited continents using a self-administered questionnaire developed with the Qualtrics electronic data collection tool. We piloted and reviewed the questionnaire to ensure completeness, accuracy, acceptability, cultural sensitivity, and relevance. Individuals were recruited via an individualized email, following identification from professional associations/organizations, professional networks and social media. Data were analyzed using SPSS and results are presented as narrative, charts and tables. Prior ethical approval was granted by the institutional review board of California State University, Dominguez Hills.

RESULTS

Five hundred and six (506) healthcare professionals responded to the survey. While 92% of respondents believed that AI has a role in patient care and healthcare management , only 76.5% were willing to support AI adoption and embedding in their organization. Although top managers are responsible for most adoption processes, staff training remains low. AI is mostly used for diagnosis, patient care, precision medicine, and these uses will continue in the near future, but at a reduced level. AI adoption is highest in Europe and lowest in Africa. Blacks/African Americans were more likely to support AI adoption than Whites/Caucasians and Asians. Poor knowledge of AI, fear of job loss and resistance to change were top barriers to AI adoption and embedding.

CONCLUSIONS

To establish seamless AI adoption and embedding, executive healthcare management should communicate better with their teams, provide training on AI to their workers and make sure individuals understand that AI works best when guided by skilled personnel. Also, ethical issues around data ownership and use should be addressed and organizational AI policies developed. Finally, African organizations should be proactive by investing in AI adoption and embedding early, so that they are not left behind in the AI revolution.

In presenting the following justifications, we assert that tooth loss is the primary etiological factor in the development of jawbone atrophy, which influences the topographic features of the canal system, with potential degenerative changes in its morphological variants. Using the bibliosemantic method, a comprehensive analysis of the anatomical variability of the left and right mandibular canals in bone atrophy caused by the loss of masticatory teeth was conducted and is presented in this manuscript. The findings have not only theoretical significance but also practical importance for clinical dentistry, as they may serve as a basis for developing new, effective methods to predict and treat pathological conditions of jawbone tissue, specifically atrophy, and for restoration of bone morphological properties.
Comparative characteristics of various methods of osteosynthesis in wounded subjects with gunshot lesions of long bones
Authors: Tanasiienko P.V. , Vasylov V.V.
Published: January 2025

Background. In the structure of combat injuries, gunshot wounds of the limbs prevail, which make up 50–80 % of all wounds, of which 57.3 % have multiple injuries of the limbs. At least one-quarter of all combat injuries involve the lower extremities. The purpose was to compare and choose the optimal osteosynthesis system to improve the provision of medical care to wounded people with gunshot injuries of long bones. Materials and methods. To fulfill the objectives of our study, we analyzed 174 cases of long bone injuries received as a result of modern warfare during the full-scale invasion of russia in the period from 2022 to 2024. Two comparison groups were formed in the study. The first group included 93 patients who underwent consecutive osteosynthesis, which accounted for 53.4 % of the total array. The second group included 81 patients with one-stage transosseous external osteosynthesis, which accounted for 46.6 % of the total array. Results. Among patients with conversion osteosynthesis, the complete union was observed in 73.1 %, which is 11.5 % more than when using one-moment osteosynthesis. Among the wounded with conversion osteosynthesis, delayed consolidation of fractures was observed in 11.8 %, while this indicator was 17.3 % when single-moment osteosynthesis was used. In patients with conversion osteosynthesis, osteomyelitis was detected less often, observed in 25.8 % of cases. Wound suppuration and implant instability were detected in 14.5 % of patients. Conclusions. The use of the technique of two-stage conversion osteosynthesis in injured patients with isolated gunshot fractures of the long bones of the limbs ensures better anatomical and functional results in comparison with the technique of transosseous one-moment osteosynthesis. When using the conversion method of osteosynthesis, the number of infectious postoperative complications, particularly the development of osteomyelitis and wound suppuration, significantly decreased. The data of our study testify to the priority use of the conversion method of osteosynthesis in patients with gunshot wounds of long bones.
Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of caudal epidural blocks and combined pharmacological therapy in the treatment of patients with discogenic low back pain
Authors: Chervatiuk M.S. , Fishchenko І.V.
Published: January 2025

Background. The most common cause of chronic nonspecific pain in the lumbar spine is discogenic pain syndrome — 42 % of cases. In the arsenal of modern medicine, among the safe methods of treating discogenic pain syndrome, two areas of treatment are traditionally distinguished — conservative and surgical. Epidural block (EB) occupies an intermediate position between surgical and conservative treatment me­thods, as it can be treated as a minimally invasive manipulation, as well as an active therapeutic agent. The purpose of the study was to conduct a compa­rative analysis of the effectiveness of trea­ting discogenic pain in the lumbar spine using epidural blockades through the hiatus sacralis and combined pharmacological therapy. Materials and methods. In the study, patients were divided into 2 groups: the EB group (epidural blockades) — 36 (59.1 %) patients, who were performed 1–2 EBs with a frequency of 1 week (19 women, 17 men); the FT group (pharmacological therapy) — 25 (40.9 %) patients, who received comprehensive conservative treatment for 14 days. The study was conducted in the spine surgery clinic of the State Institution “Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine” from September 2023 to October 2024. The results were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry questionnaire. Results. Assessment of the functional state after treatment showed that at the time of the final survey, after 6 months, positive changes with the absence of functio­nal limitations were no­ted by 30 (83.3 %) patients with chronic nonspecific pain in the lumbar spine in the EB group and 8 (32 %) patients in the FT group. Conclusions. The use of EB allows for effective reduction of pain syndrome and improvement of the quality of life of patients with back pain almost immediately after the procedure (5–7 days) while maintaining effectiveness throughout the entire observation period (up to 6 months).

Published: January 2025

Women's choice decision has gained lots of attention in the literature, particularly regarding how they evaluate attributes that are similarly important. The Indonesian skincare market is one of the most attractive markets, not only for local but also global producers of skincare products. This paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of factors that affect Indonesians when they choose facial sheet masks (SM) from three countries—Indonesia, South Korea, and France—and to examine respondents' preferences with regard to local or imported SM products. This study used a mixed method, starting with exploratory research to find the levels of attribute for each alternative. A hybrid choice model is later established with Python Biogeme to find significant factors, demand elasticities, and willingness to pay. From its exploratory research, this study ascertained several attributes such as price, packaging, quality, brand, refreshing effect, halal essence, and attitudes. This study found that price, quality, refreshing effect, halal essence, and attitude significantly influence SM choice decisions from the discrete choice. The results fill a gap in the literature by comprehensively examining product properties and attitudes that affect women's decisions regarding skincare products. It also contributes—particularly for the skincare industry and marketers—to further improve the SM market share, particularly in the Indonesian and Southeast Asian markets.

Kecamatan Cisarua merupakan salah satu wilayah yang dilewati oleh jalur Sesar Lembang sehingga rawan terhadap bencana gempabumi. Sesar Lembang terletak di utara Kota Bandung yang tergambar jelas dalam peta topografi sebagai gawir memanjang berorientasi barat-timur. Dalam sejarahnya, Sesar Lembang pernah menyebabkan gempabumi, salah satunya terjadi pada tanggal 28 Agustus 2011 yang menyebabkan sebanyak 268 rumah rusak. Saat ini Indonesia telah memiliki UU No. 24 tahun 2007 tentang Penanggulangan Bencana dan UU No. 26 tahun 2007 tentang Penataan Ruang. Pada tingkat kementerian  terdapat Peraturan Menteri Pekerjaan Umum Nomor 21/PRT/M/2007 tentang Pedoman Penataan Ruang di Kawasan Rawan Letusan Gunung Berapi dan Kawasan Rawan Gempa Bumi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, dibutuhkan sebuah evaluasi rencana tata ruang wilayah (RTRW) yang berlandaskan kerentanan terhadap bencana gempabumi. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis overlay untuk mengetahui kesesuaian antara RTRW tahun 2009-2029 dan tutupan lahan eksisting tahun 2024 dengan zonasi tingkat kerentanan gempabumi berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Pekerjaan Umum Nomor 21/PRT/M/2007 sehingga dapat diketahui kekurangan dan kelemahan pola ruang masa kini dan mendatang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kesesuaian antara tutupan lahan eksisting tahun 2024 dengan zonasi tingkat kerentanan terhadap bencana gempabumi memiliki kesesuaian sebesar 92%, artinya lebih dari 3/4 atau 4909 Ha wilayah Kecamatan Cisarua sesuai dengan peruntukannya berdasarkan zonasi tingkat kerentanan terhadap bencana gempabumi. Hal yang sama juga ditunjukkan pada tingkat kesesuaian antara RTRW 2009 – 2029 dengan zonasi tingkat kerentanan terhadap bencana gempabumi yang memiliki kesesuaian sebesar 92%, sementara 8% atau seluas 454 Ha tidak sesuai dengan peruntukannya.

Authors: Suhri Andi Gita Maulidyah Indraswari , Retnoaji Bambang , Mustamin Yusdar , Kahono Sih
Published: January 2025

Honey production by stingless bees is closely related to the foraging activities of worker bees, particularly nectar foraging. The urgency of this study stems from the community's need for adequate understanding and information on honey production which can vary due to various factors, such as forage and season. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which foraging activity affects the amount of honey produced by T. laeviceps during the rainy and dry seasons. The focal sampling method was used to observe foraging behaviour and the acetolysis method was used to observe pollen. The abiotic factors were measured through direct observation. Honey production was observed as a result of foraging behaviour and variations in abiotic factors.  In SPSS v27 software, data from foraging behaviour observations were analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test with 95% confidence level and interpreted in tables and figures. Multiple linear regressions and Pearson’s correlations were used to test the relationship between abiotic variables and bee return to hive behaviour. All honey volume data were collected, averaged, and evaluated using bar charts. Based on these results, the amount of honey produced by T. laevicepsin the dry season was significantly higher than that produced during the wet season. This was because the number of bees actively foraging was also higher in the dry season (June-August) which was strongly influenced by temperature and light intensity (p > 0.05). In addition, the number of flowering plants available for harvest during the dry season was higher than that during the rainy season. The results of this study can be used as a reference by beekeepers to determine the appropriate time to harvest honey. Information on the types of forage plants identified in this study can provide information on bee preferences in making choices related to forage plants.

Transparent Giving: Revolutionizing Donation Management with Blockchain
Authors: K R Sanjay
Published: January 2025

The traditional charity system has long been an essential avenue for facilitating donations to those in need, but it is
often encumbered by trust issues related to centralized organizations that act as intermediaries. These centralized models can be
opaque, and tracking the flow of donations is challenging, leading to concerns about accountability and transparency. To
address these limitations, a blockchain-based charity system provides an innovative, decentralized solution that ensures
transparency, security, and privacy for all participants. By leveraging blockchain technology, all transactions are recorded on an
immutable ledger, making it virtually impossible to alter or manipulate donation data. This guarantees that donations are
directly tracked and transparently allocated to the intended recipients, without the need for an intermediary. The decentralized
nature of blockchain allows donors from across the globe to contribute without the complexities of currency exchange, regional
barriers, or concerns about third-party involvement. Additionally, blockchain offers enhanced privacy protection for individuals
involved in the charity process, ensuring that personal information is secure and only shared as necessary. The system’s
transparency allows for real-time auditing of donations, making it easier to verify that funds are being used appropriately and as
intended. By removing the risks associated with centralization, this approach fosters trust between donors and recipients,
improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of charitable giving.
This blockchain-powered charity system not only creates a more reliable and trustworthy donation process but also streamlines
operations by eliminating the need for intermediaries, reducing administrative costs, and increasing the global reach of
charitable efforts. The result is a more inclusive, accountable, and transparent charity ecosystem that has the potential to
fundamentally reshape how charitable donations are made and tracked worldwide.

Self-propelled vibratory plate compactors are surface compaction machines with a flat operating device, which is introduced into a state of oscillatory movements and causes the movement of the machine itself along the soil surface. Industrially produced plate compactors differ significantly in technical specifications, which causes differences in the effectiveness of their use on different types of soil and under various conditions. This fact sufficiently complicates both the design of new models of vibratory plate compactors and the selection of suitable models for soil compaction under various conditions. A significant part of manufacturers provides limited recommendations of the technological capabilities of various models of vibratory plate compactors which increases the risk of insufficient soil compaction and a decrease in the service life of structures built on it. The purpose of the study was to collect data on industrially produced models of vibratory plate compactors, as well as to analyze manufacturers recommendations for the use of vibratory plate compactors in various conditions. The collected data allows us to evaluate the gathered experience in the development and improvement of model lines of vibratory plate compactors and can be used when designing new models of vibratory plate compactors.
Los sitios militares de nuestros días: El espacio simbólico militar en Lima megapolitana, Perú
Authors: Balarezo-Alberca Giovanna
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes the impact of military facilities in Megapolitan Lima, considering the city's physical, symbolic, and social space configuration. This research focuses on the Las Palmas Air Force Base and the Chorrillos Military Base, examining how these sites demarcate the urban space and affect the social dynamics, symbolic perceptions, and power relations. Using a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis, the role of military bases is explored in constructing urban identity, collective memory, and community cohesion in Lima. The findings reveal diverse perceptions. While some perceive these spaces as symbols of protection, stability, and order, others see them as agents of segregation and control. This plurality of opinions indicates that the military facilities fulfill a complex, multifaceted role in the city, influenced by the social and cultural context of the different groups involved.

Kolektīvo monogrāfiju veido četras nodaļas. Pirms katras atrodami īsi krājuma sastādītāja ievadvārdi ar ievirzi nodaļas tematikā. Pirmā nodaļa sniedz ieskatu vispārīgās terminoloģijas teorijas un vēstures problēmās. Otrās nodaļas uzmanības lokā ir terminrades procesi, kas aizsākās jau 19. gs. pēdējā trešdaļā un loģiski noveda pie Izglītības ministrijas Terminoloģijas komisijas izveides 1919. gadā, plašāk raksturojot gan kopējās tendences, gan īstenotās un neīstenotās ieceres. Trešajā nodaļā aplūkota vairāku nozaru terminoloģijas attīstība ar īpašu akcentu uz starpkaru periodu, tomēr nenorobežojoties ne no tā, kas bija apritē jau pirms tam, nedz no vēlāk paveiktā. Pēdējā, ceturtajā, monogrāfijas nodaļā apcerēta terminrades procesa organizatoriskā un valodiskā puse, lai atklātu, kādas iespējas un arī grūtības rodas ikreiz, kad tiek domāts par jauniem terminiem vai precizēti jau esošie.
Iespējams, šī monogrāfija palīdzēs rast atbildes uz vairākiem jautājumiem: vai mūsdienu skatījumā nozaru terminoloģija pirms gandrīz simt gadiem raksturojama kā nevienāda un nestabila vai jau nostabilizējusies, vai atsevišķu nozaru terminoloģija kaut kādā veidā būtiski atšķīrusies no latviešu terminoloģijas konteksta kopumā.

Migração é um fenômeno contemporâneo no Brasil. O mais acentuado é a dos venezuelanos que entram ao território brasileiro a partir da cidade de Pacaraima que faz fronteira com a Venezuela. Esta cidade está localizada no Estado de Roraima. A maioria teve como destino em um primeiro momento a capital deste Estado A migração é um fenômeno contemporâneo no Brasil, destacando-se especialmente a dos venezuelanos que entram no território brasileiro pela cidade de Pacaraima, na fronteira com a Venezuela. Esta cidade está localizada no Estado de Roraima, e a maioria dos migrantes tem como destino inicial a capital deste Estado. O presente artigo possui dois objetivos. Primeiramente, compreender a construção das redes migratórias em três espaços de sociabilidade dos migrantes venezuelanos. Em segundo lugar, analisar o papel dessas redes no processo migratório venezuelano em Boa Vista, Roraima. Para atingir esses objetivos, descrevemos a organização e a dinâmica de três espaços de sociabilidade chamados de maticas. Esses espaços estão localizados no perímetro urbano da capital do estado de Roraima. Os migrantes venezuelanos utilizam esses espaços para oferecer sua força de trabalho de maneira informal, uma vez que não têm interesse no trabalho formal, devido a estratégias de sobrevivência. Nossa metodologia incluiu pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a migração venezuelana e a realização de etnografia participante, na qual ouvimos as narrativas de três migrantes venezuelanos, os integrantes mais antigos de cada espaço. Seguindo a abordagem de Clifford Geertz (1989), buscamos interpretar em segunda ou terceira mão a cultura dos migrantes que interagem nesses espaços. As maticas funcionam como redes de acolhimento migratório tanto em âmbito nacional quanto internacional. Nesses espaços, são construídas redes pessoais, sociais e migratórias, permitindo que os migrantes enfrentem a exclusão a que são submetidos por meio da interiorização da Operação Acolhida, conforme relatado por nossos interlocutores.
Uma análise dos discursos conservadores sobre “ideologia de gênero” a partir dos estudos queer e do feminismo negro decolonial
Authors: Rosa Pablo Ornelas , Zamboni Jésio , Vieira Breno Buxton dos Reis
Published: January 2025

A intensificação de conflitos envolvendo direitos sexuais e reprodutivos tem sido tratada por distintos segmentos conservadores da sociedade brasileira como um ataque às tradições coloniais hierarquicamente consolidadas no Ocidente a partir de discursos encontrados em perspectivas teóricas orientadas tanto pelo pensamento escolástico, quanto pela psicologia evolutiva, difundida por figuras que só puderam se aproximar por meio da influência direta de Olavo de Carvalho, assim como de seus alunos e alunas, a exemplo de Ana Caroline Campagnolo. É por meio do reconhecimento desse embate abarcando perspectivas antagônicas sobre gênero e sexualidade que este artigo propõe uma análise genealógica sobre o uso da noção “ideologia de gênero”, tomando os estudos queer e o feminismo negro decolonial como ponto de partida, em contraposição aos discursos conservadores. Este texto encontra-se dividido em três partes: na primeira, serão apresentados os seus antecedentes e os consequentes eventos conservadores utilizados na legitimação de seus discursos; na segunda, será realizada uma análise sobre os principais referenciais teóricos mobilizados por autores que adotam uma postura reativa em relação aos estudos sobre gênero e sexualidade no Brasil; e por fim, na derradeira parte, evidenciaremos como que a crença na existência de uma natureza humana e sexual inata universalmente diferenciada entre homens e mulheres não se sustenta, quando tomamos como referência diversificadas pesquisas hodiernas orientadas pelos estudos queer e feminismo negro decolonial.
