Knowledge, Attitudes, and Barriers Toward Using Complementary and Alternative Medicine Among Medical and Nonmedical University Students: A Cross-Sectional Study from Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alshahrani Sultan M.
Published: June 2024

The recognition of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly growing worldwide. Positive attitudes toward using CAM may reflect an evidence-based understanding and awareness of its common uses and potential abuses, facilitating its sound integration into the society for positive results. This study aimed to identify the level of knowledge, practices, and barriers associated with the use of CAM among medical and nonmedical students. A cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2023 and July 2023 involving a sample group of medical and nonmedical students from King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia. A total of 341 students completed the survey. Approximately 53.4% of the participants were medical and 46.6% were nonmedical students. Herbal medicine was the most used among medical students (21%) followed by aromatherapy (12%) and chiropractic (11%), while the most used CAM among nonmedical students was spiritual healing/Quran (19%). The prevalence of good knowledge is higher in medical students compared to nonmedical students in some CAM modalities. In addition, the results show that there are no significant differences in attitudes toward CAM among medical and nonmedical students. Respondents from both groups were keen on gaining more knowledge about all the CAM modalities. It is important to utilize the data from this study for enhancing curricula in university programs and promoting education and practice related to CAM.

The Moral Principles Guiding the Judge’s Activities (Illustrated by the Life Journey of A. F. Koni)
Authors:   Northwestern Branch, Russian State University of Justice, St. Petersburg, Russia, Zholobov Yaroslav B.
Published: June 2024

The year 2024 commemorates the 180th anniversary of the birth of Anatoly Fedorovich Koni (1844–1927), a prominent lawyer, prosecutor, statesman, and public figure in post-reform Russia during the latter half of the 19th century. In this context, it appears fitting to reconsider the legacy of this iconic individual, whose life journey serves as a compelling testament to the challenging process of shaping and advancing the principles upon which the trial currently rests. The aim of this study is to uncover the attributes of the present-day incorporation of A. F. Koni’s moral and ethical principles within the domestic legal framework. Research methods. This study was based on general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, etc.) and methods of legal science (historical-legal, formal-legal). The study is based on the theoretical works of domestic specialists who have studied the A. F. Koni’s legacy. Study results. The moral concepts of A. F. Koni were formulated in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, wherein the fundamental tenets of administration of justice are enumerated: independence, irremovability, inviolability of judges, and openness of court proceedings. Moreover, the judge’s moral and ethical requirements coined by A. F. Koni were mirrored in the Law of the Russian Federation No. 3132-1 on the Status of Judges in the Russian Federation dated 26 June 1992. The Code of Judicial Ethics adopted in 2012 gains particular importance in the context of the analysis of A. F. Koni’s legacy. This document consistently and comprehensively outlines the principles of professional conduct for judges, as well as their involvement in activities pertaining to the advancement of law and legislation, implementation of legal practice, etc. It appears imperative to conduct further examination of A. F. Koni’s moral and ethical concepts to enhance the existing legislative instruments regulating judicial activities.

Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Denisova N. V.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The need for functional zoning of specially protected natural areas (SPNA) is due to the need to choose the most effective methods for protecting landscape and biological diversity, the presence of limited economic activity permitted on the territory of the protected landscape, as well as the recreational attractiveness of the territory of the Beshtaugorsky reserve. The need for zoning is explained by the diversity of natural complexes, the types of impact on them by various groups of visitors and the local population, and the corresponding management methods. Materials and research methods. The information base for the study was the materials of field studies of the influence of recreation on landscape components in the Beshtaugorsky reserve of the growing seasons 2021–2022. To identify the types of economic activity, multi-temporal remote sensing data (Landsat) were used. Spatial data processing was carried out using the geographic information system Qgis 3.10. Research results and their discussion. Modern methods of processing spatial data made it possible to identify the main types of land use of the Beshtaugorsky reserve, to map valuable resources and centers of high biodiversity, the growth of specially protected species. In the course of the work, the recreational load on 38 test sites was studied and mapped. The degree of influence of recreation is described, the stages of recreational digression of sites are determined. The result was the creation of a recommended scheme for the functional zoning of the reserve with the allocation of 4 zones within the boundaries of the protected areas and 2 outside the boundaries of the protected areas. Conclusions. Functional zoning of protected areas is a recognized effective method of territory modeling. The division of the Beshtaugorsky reserve into separate areas with recommended types and modes of use should contribute to the planning of management measures, the elimination of conflicts in nature management and the conservation of valuable biological resources through spatial and temporal restrictions.

Authors:   North-Caucasus Federal University, Esikova V. O.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. In the last decades of the XX–XXI centuries, the nature of population reproduction in Russia and its regions has changed. During the post-Soviet period, the country is undergoing a deep demographic crisis, depopulation processes have been actively developed. In this regard, geoinformation monitoring of population reproduction in Russia becomes relevant. Materials and research methods. Geoinformation monitoring of population reproduction was carried out at the level of Russia and regions using two components of reproduction: natural movement and migration of the population. The spatial data base «Population Reproduction in Russia» is organized to analyze the transformation of population reproduction. The following methods are used in the study: typological, geo-information, centrographic method, method of qualitative and quantitative background, methods of cartographic diagrams, ranges of values, method of movement of arrows. Research results and their discussion. Russia is characterized by a decrease in the population. On average, the population is declining by 66 thousand people a year. There are 4 periods according to the nature of population reproduction: 1990–2000, 2001– 2010, 2011–2017, 2018–2021. A typology of regions was carried out with the construction of cartographic material, and the transformation of population reproduction was analyzed with the identification of all-Russian and regional trends in the formation of the population of the post-Soviet period in Russia. Conclusions. The process of population reproduction is heterogeneous both in time and space. The territory of Russia is characterized by a diverse dynamics of natural and migration growth in the regions, the preservation of one type of population reproduction is characteristic of an extremely small number of regions. The reproduction of the population from 2011-2017 should be noted since the process is undergoing significant changes, in the regions of Russia there is a positive overall population growth associated with a reduction in the natural population decline and migration growth in the territory.

Published: June 2024

Introduction. Fog is one of the dangerous weather phenomena, since it has a negative impact on the operation of all types of transport, worsens the ecological state of the air basin of cities, leads to deterioration in the well-being of people with a number of diseases, etc. Therefore, the study of the fog regime and its dynamics is an important task, especially in the era of rapid and significant climate change. The work is devoted to the study of the regime of fogs in various landscapes of the Central Ciscaucasia. The main characteristics of the fog regime in the current climate are calculated. To determine the change in the fog regime, the new century data are compared with data for two multi-year periods of the 20th century. Particular attention is paid to the modern regime of fogs in the resort of Kislovodsk and in airport areas in Mineralnye Vody and Stavropol. Materials and research methods. The information base for the analysis of the fog regime was the observation data of 16 meteorological stations of the Stavropol Krai for 2001–2020, data from the USSR Climate Reference Book [24] and the monograph “Stavropol Territory: modern climatic conditions” [5]. The studies were carried out by methods of physical-statistical and regression analysis. Research results and their discussion. For all meteorological stations of the Central Ciscaucasia, the averaged main characteristics of the fog regime for the first two full 10 years of the new century are calculated: the annual, seasonal and monthly number of days with fog and their total duration in the indicated periods. The extreme values of the specified characteristics are determined. The analysis of the annual course of the main characteristics of fogs has been carried out. Based on the results of a comparative analysis of the obtained data with data over two long-term periods of the 20th century, the characteristic of the dominant trend in long-term changes in the frequency and duration of fogs is given. Conclusion. It is shown that the distribution of fogs over the territory of the Stavropol Krai has a complex character; there is no clear connection with the landscape structure. For most of the region, there is a certain similarity in the trends in changing the fog regime: decrease in the annual number of days with fog; reduction of the total annual duration of fogs; decrease in the proportion of fogs of the cold period in the annual number of days with fog; reduction in the share of fogs of the cold period in the total annual duration of fogs; decrease in the duration of one fog both on average per year and during the cold period.

Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Gasumov R. A. , Gasumov E. R. ,   Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry; Azerbaijan Technical University
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The article discusses the features of carrying out repair and restoration work in gas wells of Western Siberian fields that are at the stage of declining production. The compositions of process fluids used to block the bottomhole formation zone during well killing, to isolate the inflow of formation waters in various mining and geological conditions are given. The compositions of process fluids used in repair and restoration work in certain fields of Western Siberia are presented. They are easily removed when inducing inflow from the formation, and allow providing the required pressure at the bottomhole, as well as maintaining the reservoir properties of the productive formation and preventing its destruction. Materials and research methods. Based on the generalization of field experience in killing wells, fields at the stage of declining production, the results of their own theoretical, laboratory and bench studies. Research results and their discussion. When killing wells with temporary blocking of the bottomhole formation zone, the choice of the composition of process fluids with high stability, low filtration, in a wide range of adjustable density and rheological properties, allows creating the necessary repression on the formation and carrying out various operations in the well without complications. Technological fluids for killing wells, which are direct-type emulsion systems based on a composite reagent, are pseudo-plastic systems in terms of rheological parameters, where the density range is 900-1000 kg/m3. The properties of the emulsion solution based on the kill fluid reagent are determined by the complex effect of the reagents included in its composition. Filler-based blocking fluids are used to temporarily block the bottomhole formation zone of wells, and are prepared by introducing the calculated amount of the reagent into the required volume of killing fluid based on the killing fluid reagent. As a water-insulating composition for creating an insulating barrier in the reservoir, a formulation of a gel-forming composition based on a reagent – a dry mixture for carrying out repair and restoration work and a gelforming reagent – is considered. Conclusions. Based on the study, it was determined that the most promising technology for killing wells under conditions of abnormally low formation pressures is the technology of preliminary blocking of the bottomhole formation zone using blocking fluids with filler. To ensure high efficiency of repair and restoration work, preliminary calculations of the process fluids used are necessary, taking into account the mining and geological conditions of the reservoir and the geometric parameters of the well.
Administrative coercive measures used in the field of construction
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Zubkov A. S.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The article studies certain administrative coercive measures used to protect public relations in the field of construction, as well as to identifying the problems of their legal consolidation. Materials and methods. The study is based on an analysis of legislative provisions that determine the procedure for applying administrative coercive measures in the field of construction. The use of the formal legal method made it possible to reveal the content of legal norms devoted to their regulation. Analysis. Administrative and legal protection of public relations in the field of construction implies the need to implement various measures of administrative coercion. The legislation is characterized by the absence of an exhaustive list of such measures. Their content can be judged by analyzing specific articles of various regulations. Results. Administrative coercive measures in the field of construction can be divided into administrative and preventive; administrative and recovery; administrative measures; measures to ensure proceedings in cases of administrative offenses; administrative penalties. The author states the need to normatively consolidate the order of the control (supervisory) body in the field of construction and specify its relationship with the act of control (supervisory) activity. An order from a control (supervisory) body in the field of construction must be considered as an administrative coercive measure applied on the basis of an act of a control (supervisory) body in the event of violations of mandatory requirements being detected during a control (supervisory) event, aimed at suppressing actions (inactions) containing signs of violation mandatory requirements in the field of construction, as well as preventing such violations in the future by taking measures to prevent harm (damage) to public relations in the field of construction. The need to expand the list of administrative penalties contained in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is substantiated by including a new measure - exclusion from the state register of self-regulatory organizations.
Metaphor as a speech action in a frame model
Authors:   North-Caucasus Federal University, Gusarenko S. V. , Gusarenko M. K.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Earlier studies of the frame organization of the artistic narrative allowed us to come to the conclusion that, firstly, ontological frames-determinants can predetermine the narrative structure of both extended fragments of the narrative text and small fragments limited by the semantics of the local frame; secondly, the semantic-syntactic frame can be considered as a standard linguistic unit with a standard integral structure and semantics, as well as stable naming. Materials and methods. In the proposed approach, a speech frame represents a linguistic expression as a speech action, the content and performance of which is described in a propositional aspect. The use of a metaphor in the text itself is a standard speech action that includes a metaphorical expression in the context, while the meaning of the metaphor is determined by the linguistic and pragmatic context. A metaphor (from a word to a detailed construction) can be considered as a speech action of the speaker by virtue of the fact that the act of metaphorical comparison itself, contained in a metaphor, can be described in terms of propositions. Plot-forming semantic-syntactic frames in an artistic narrative are considered as stable linguistic units with stable conventional meanings and corresponding stable names. Analysis. The semantic-syntactic frame should be considered as a standard semantic model of a typical situation (everyday, communicative), in which the structural and content elements of the semantics of the frame, namely propositions, their predicates and terms filling the terminals of the frame, correspond to certain language expressions for their representation in the surface structures of the narrative. The initial thesis is that from the point of view of the tasks of describing relevant parameters, it is advisable to present a metaphor as a model of a semantic-syntactic procedural frame. Results. Based on the results of the study, a model is proposed in which nuclear propositions describing the basic predications of metaphorical speech action are attributed to the first terminal of the frame; to the second one – the bases of metaphorical comparison; to the third one – the conditions of the linguistic context; to the fourth one – the conditions of the pragmatic context. It is concluded that the representation of a metaphor as a speech action in the form of a procedural semantic-syntactic frame allows analyzing its semantics, structure and functions as a result of performing the corresponding actions and semantic operations displayed in the proposed METAPHOR frame model.
Linguocultural Aspect of Chinese and English Kinship Terms
Authors:   North-Caucasus Federal University, Bingbing H.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The article deals with the kinship term systems of the modern English and Chinese languages in linguocultural perspective. Although the size and the structure of a family in different countries varies, a family is a fundamental unit of any society, which determines the topicality of the study of the semantic field of kinship terms in a diverse social context. This study touches upon the matters of the difference between the standard use of kinship terms towards family members and their extensive use in a wider social context towards non-relatives. The cultural differences determining the differences in the use of kinship terms in English and Chinese are studied. The aim of the study is to provide a linguocultural description of the characteristics and cultural connotations of the modern English and Chinese kinship terms. Materials and Methods. We use the descriptive method, the comparative analysis method, and the contextual analysis method to study English and Chinese terms collected from a variety of scientific and lexicographic sources. Analysis. Based on the obtained empirical data we make conclusions regarding the similarities and the differences in the use of English and Chinese kinship terms from the point of view of linguoculturology. Through the analysis of the data we demonstrate the fact that the factors which determine the use of kinship terms, such as age, gender and the overall context of the use, play a different role in the use of kinship terms in the studied linguocultures. Results. Conclusions are made regarding the specificity of the extensive use of kinship terms in Chinese and English languages, determined by a variety of cultural and social factors; regarding the role of polysemy and ambiguity of language symbols in Chinese language in the functioning of kinship terms; regarding the linguistic specificity of kinship terms in Chinese and English languages determined by the specificity of social development in China and the USA. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is seen in discovering the modern tendencies of communication related to the transformation and modification of traditional kinship terms and their meaning according to the requirements of the contemporary society and language.

Authors: Kudryavtseva Irina Y.
Published: June 2024

The problems of economic security of water transport enterprises are becoming increasingly important in the context of the crisis provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the whole world and the anti-Russian sanctions policy. Overcoming new previously unknown restrictions, challenges and threats require radically new approaches to ensuring economic security. The study identified the main problems and prospects for the development of water transport. The functional directions of economic security are determined and their relationship with the types and directions of internal control is established. A classification of sources of threats to economic security by spheres of occurrence is presented. A comparative characteristic of internal control and economic security has been carried out, which indicates the presence of a relationship between their goals and functions, as well as the identity of their subjects and objects. The analysis carried out gives grounds to consider internal control as the main means of ensuring economic security. The results of the study can be used as the basis for further developments in the field of integration of internal control systems and economic security.

Published: June 2024

Malicious websites have become a pervasive concern in the digital realm, targeting careless users as well as organizations. It may result in substantial financial losses, identity theft, data intrusions, and damage to reputation. In order to create efficient countermeasures, it is crucial to comprehend the effects of interacting with such websites. There are several ways to classify malicious webpages. Web content analysis is one such way for protecting internet users from malicious activities. It entails analysing websites to identify potential hazards, such as phishing attempts, malware distribution, and fraudulent activities. Traditional methods relied on rule-based systems, but recent advances in natural language processing and machine learning have opened up new avenues for increasing the precision and scalability of web content analysis to classify malicious webpages. Most of the exciting research work focuses more on URL alone for risk free processing. This paper introduces novel method for analysing web contents especially textual contents of the webpages for classification. Among various tags in web technology, proposed method focuses on div, paragraph and meta tags. The textual contents of these tags are extracted and vectorized using three different vectorizers in natural language processing and classify the webpages using machine learning models. Seven different machine learning models are used for performance evaluation. The result shows that a combined textual content of three distinct tags with count vectorizer + random forest achieves the higher accuracy of 93.46% with 1000 features.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Prevention of these diseases is one of the most important tasks of modern medicine. First of all, it is necessary to influence modifying risk factors, namely: tobacco use, poor nutrition, low physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption, uncontrolled high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. One of the important additional risk factors is stress, which causes a number of changes in the heart and kidneys, provoking the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Timely impact on the psychological state of a patient who is under the influence of chronic stress is the key to effectively reducing the risk of cardiovascular disasters. For this purpose, it is possible to recommend nootropic drugs that contribute to the reduction of clinical manifestations of asthenic syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome caused by chronic stress.

Children with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) continue to be on the rise in Africa. More research is needed to improve caring approach towards children with surgically corrected TOF. The consequences of surgical correction of TOF remains an important area of research interest as children with TOF repair run the high risk of increase mortality resulting from acute cardiopulmonary problems. Yet little or no research published focused on investigating which clinical or para-clinical profile of children going in for surgical correction could be the cause of morbidity or mortality amongst children with TOF repair. The aim of the study was to determine the association between the profiles of children visiting the Surgical Heart Center for consultation with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) on the healing process after surgical repair. It was a descriptive quantitative study in which 303 nurses were issued questionnaires. Data was collected using convenient sampling technique and analyzed using multiple corresponding analysis in SPSS software version 21.0. The results showed that the clinical symptoms, clinical history, para-clinical characteristics, and postoperative complications identified three groups of children operated on for TOF: children with unstable hemodynamics; children who usually have symptoms such as systolic thrill, oppression in chest, tachycardia, and heart murmur; and finally children with symptoms of failure to thrive and heart murmur.

Published: June 2024

Resilience and social support are pivotal factors in fostering positive mental health outcomes and enhancing overall well-being among students. With this in mind, the present study sought to examine the impact of resilience and social support on subjective well-being among college students. Employing a quantitative research approach, the researchers utilized a descriptive- correlational technique to survey 255 college students. Standardized instruments, validated by experts and subjected to reliability testing, were employed for data collection. The statistical analysis revealed that students exhibited a high level of resilience and perceived social support. Moreover, students reported a high level of subjective well-being. Notably, correlation analysis highlighted a significant relationship between resilience, social support, and subjective well-being. Regression analysis further underscored the influential role of resilience and social support in shaping subjective well- being. This finding suggests that students with higher resilience levels are better equipped to manage stress and adversity, while those with robust social support networks benefit from emotional, informational, and practical assistance, thereby contributing to an enhanced sense of well-being.

The impact of climate change on China's central region grain production: evidence from spatiotemporal pattern evolution
Authors: Wang Hongtao , Xu Jiajun , Lim Noor Hashimah Hashim , Liao Wanying , Fong Chng Saun
Published: June 2024

Under the influence of global climate change, the climatic conditions of China's major agricultural regions have changed significantly over the last half-century, affecting regional grain production levels. With its favorable conditions for agricultural activities, China's central region has been a strategic location for grain production since ancient times and has assumed an essential responsibility for maintaining national grain security. However, the key concerns of this study are whether the national grain security pattern is stable and whether it might be affected by global climate change (especially climate instability and increased risks in recent years). Therefore, the present study collected grain production data and used descriptive statistical and geospatial analyses to reveal the trend and spatiotemporal pattern of grain production in China's central region from 2010 to 2020. Then, a further analysis was conducted by combining meteorological data with a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model to investigate the relationship between spatial differences in the output per unit of the grain sown area (OPUGSA). The findings were as follows: (1) The overall development trend of grain production in China's central region from 2010 to 2020 revealed a positive overall trend in grain production, with notable differences in growth rates between northern and southern provinces. (2) Most regions in the southern part of the central region from 2015 to 2020 showed varying degrees of total output of grain (TOG) and OPUGSA reduction, possibly affected by the effects of the anomalies for global climate change and a strong El Niño effect in 2015. (3) Low-low (L-L) clusters of TOG and OPUGSA indicators were consistently in the northwest part (Shanxi) of the central region, and high-high (H-H) clusters of TOG were consistently in the central part (Henan and Anhui) of the central region, but H-H clusters of OPUGSA were not stably distributed. (4) The fitting results of the GWR model showed a better fit compared to the ordinary least squares (OLS) model; it was found that the annual average temperature (AAT) had the greatest impact on OPUGSA, followed by annual sunshine hours (ASH) and annual precipitation (AP) last. The spatiotemporal analysis identified distinct clusters of productivity indicators. It suggested an expanding range of climate impact possibilities, particularly in exploring climate-resilient models of grain production, emphasizing the need for targeted adaptation strategies to bolster resilience and ensure agricultural security.
Improving modularity score of community detection using memetic algorithms
Authors: Lee Dongwon , Kim Jingeun , Yoon Yourim
Published: June 2024

With the growth of online networks, understanding the intricate structure of communities has become vital. Traditional community detection algorithms, while effective to an extent, often fall short in complex systems. This study introduced a meta-heuristic approach for community detection that leveraged a memetic algorithm, combining genetic algorithms (GA) with the stochastic hill climbing (SHC) algorithm as a local optimization method to enhance modularity scores, which was a measure of the strength of community structure within a network. We conducted comprehensive experiments on five social network datasets (Zachary's Karate Club, Dolphin Social Network, Books About U.S. Politics, American College Football, and the Jazz Club Dataset). Also, we executed an ablation study based on modularity and convergence speed to determine the efficiency of local search. Our method outperformed other GA-based community detection methods, delivering higher maximum and average modularity scores, indicative of a superior detection of community structures. The effectiveness of local search was notable in its ability to accelerate convergence toward the global optimum. Our results not only demonstrated the algorithm's robustness across different network complexities but also underscored the significance of local search in achieving consistent and reliable modularity scores in community detection.
A viagem das notícias: percepções do Terremoto de 1755 no Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Almeida Anita Correia Lima de
Published: June 2024

O grande sismo de 1º de novembro de 1755, conhecido como Terremoto de Lisboa, gerou uma onda de notícias que se espalhou rapidamente e cruzou o Atlântico. Este artigo pretende examinar o impacto que o conhecimento sobre o desastre causou no Rio de Janeiro colonial. Logo que os primeiros ecos da tragédia chegaram, procissões percorreram as ruas, suplicando perdão para os pecados. Ao mesmo tempo, a necessidade do envio de donativos para ajudar na reconstrução da capital foi comunicada às autoridades locais. Assim, na América portuguesa, os moradores tiveram contato com os antigos entendimentos da calamidade como uma punição divina, mas também com as enérgicas medidas tomadas por Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, o futuro Marquês de Pombal. Tudo isso parece ter contribuído para que o evento ficasse longamente gravado na memória da cidade.

Published: June 2024

Du point de vue quantitatif, la floraison de logoi sokratikoi au début du IVe siècle av. J.- C. a dû atteindre des proportions inouïes. La prise de conscience de la dimension de ce phénomène pose en termes nouveaux le problème des facteurs qui ont favorisé la naissance, le développement et le succès de cette littérature. Dans cet article, on cherche ces facteurs dans des pratiques qui, du vivant même du maître, se seraient développées à l’intérieur du cercle socratique.

Any attempt to explain the relevance of data by putting it in a visual context is referred to as data visualization. With the aid of data visualization software, patterns, trends, and correlations that could go unnoticed in text-based data can be exposed and identified more easily. The graphical presentation of quantitative information is known as data visualization. In other words, data visualizations convert big and small data sets into pictures that the human brain can comprehend and digest more readily. In our daily lives, data visualizations are surprisingly prevalent, yet they frequently take the shape of recognizable charts and graphs. It can be applied to find unknown trends and facts. When communication, data science, and design come together, good data visualizations are produced. When done well, data visualizations provide important insights into complex data sets in clear, understandable ways. The authors talk about data visualization, its significance, tools for data visualization, etc. in this chapter.

Optimal Placement and sizing of DG Units Using LCA Algorithm
Authors: Benkhetta Djemoui , Rouina Abdelhafid , Necira Abdelouahab
Published: June 2024

The motivation of this paper is to present an approach that relies on the league championship algorithm (LCA) to determine the most effective number, placement, and size of distributed generations (DG) within distribution systems. The primary objective of this approach is to minimize the losses of the power system, as well as to enhance the voltage profiles and stability index of the voltage. The optimal location of the DG units is determined through the use of the Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF), while the optimal size of the DG units is found through the use of LCA. The IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus radial distribution systems were both tested to validate the proposed method, and the results obtained from LCA were compared to those of other methods found in the literature. The simulated results have shown that the LCA method proposed in this paper is highly effective and performs exceptionally well when addressing the problem of optimal location and sizing of DG units in radial networks.
