Enhancing voltage gain and switching efficiency in a non-isolated buckboost converter through integrated switching inductor configuration
Authors:   Electrical Engineering Department, College of Engineering, University of Hail, Hail, Saudi Arabia, Alateeq Ayoob S.
Published: December 2023

This research presents a novel investigation into advancing the operational efficiency and performance of non-isolated buck-boost converters utilized in photovoltaic (PV) systems as charging controllers. The focus of this study lies in the development and integration of a specialized switching inductor configuration, aiming to augment the converter's voltage gain while concurrently mitigating stress imposed on the converter switch. The converter's efficacy is of paramount importance, particularly during stepping-up operations where the duty cycle reduction, a consequence of the integrated switched inductor, contributes to reduced stress. The proposed converter architecture is characterized by its simplicity, necessitating only minimal components for implementation. These include a single capacitor, a pair of diodes, a duo of inductors, and a trifecta of switches. Operating nominally at 12 volts, the converter dynamically adjusts the voltage level in response to varying duty cycles: elevating it beyond the 35% threshold and inversely attenuating it below this parameter. A salient outcome of this endeavor is the curtailment of the dependency on an additional diode (D), resulting in streamlined circuitry. The conceptualized switching inductor model was rigorously assessed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation environment, affording a comprehensive evaluation of its efficacy and robustness. This study thus underscores the viability and potential for significant enhancements in non-isolated buck-boost converter systems through inventive switching inductor integration.
Corporate Digital Responsibility and the Business Implications of Quantum Computing
Authors: Wynn Martin , Jones Peter
Published: December 2023

While artificial intelligence has been attracting increasing investment and controversy, a new, and potentially much more powerful technology, Quantum Computing, is on the business horizon. Already, organizations are assessing its potential for addressing a range of computationally challenging issues, such as last-mile optimization and cryptanalysis to break encryption algorithms, and are exploring possible applications in a range of business areas. While the advent of Quantum Computing may bring an array of opportunities and benefits, the companies developing and applying Quantum Computing technologies will face, and have to address, new sets of corporate social, ethical, economic, technical and environmental responsibilities. Using a qualitative research method based on secondary sources, this article examines the implications for Quantum Computing for corporate digital responsibility, and assesses the guidance currently being offered by leading consultancies for organisations deploying Quantum Computing. The results suggest that although there is some guidance on how companies can apply and exploit Quantum Computing technology, there is as yet little consideration of the possible downsides, including, for example, potential negative environmental impacts. Further research is needed to develop a more balanced assessment of benefits and disbenefits as Quantum Computing is deployed in the corporate world and wider global society.

Published: December 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible health risks associated with the content of heavy metals and microorganisms in the consumption of watercress, lettuce, lemon balm and taraxaco. The products were purchased in several markets in the city of Quito. In this study, the products marketed in the north and center of the town showed better size characteristics, while the soluble solids, pH and ash showed no definite behavior. In addition, due to the volcanic origin of the Ecuadorian soils in which the samples under study were grown, it could influence the lead content that varied between 0.02 ppm (taraxacum, lemon balm and lettuce) up to 2.60 ppm (watercress). This value exceeded the maximum limit allowed by the CODEX, becoming a health risk. In addition, the microbial quality of the different species under study showed high contamination with mesophilic aerobic microorganisms and parasites. These results provide valuable information that could finance food safety decisions by the government to protect health and improve the quality of life of the people of Quito.

Validity of an automated interpretation and report generation tool for neuropsychological assessment batteries (ReadSmart4U) (Preprint)
Authors: Park Jeongbin , Kim Chae Hyun , Jung Woo Jin , Kim Hae In , Han Ji Won , Kim Ki Woong
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

The existing healthcare system is not meeting the escalating demand for comprehensive neuropsychological assessments due to the rapid aging of the population and the length of time it takes to interpret and report these assessments. We developed “ReadSmart4U”, a web-based solution for automated interpretation and reporting of neuropsychological assessments, that reduces the time from approximately two hours to less than five minutes per assessment.

OBJECTIVE

To examine the validity of ReadSmart4U by comparing the quality of interpretation statements on the same neuropsychological test results between ReadSmart4U and certified clinical psychologists (CCPs).

METHODS

We obtained the CERAD-K Neuropsychological Assessment Battery raw scores and their reports written by CCPs of 150 participants (50 with normal cognition, 50 with mild cognitive impairment, and 50 with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease) from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (2010 - 2019) and generated reports of the results using ReadSmart4U. We then randomly mixed the 300 reports and asked three CCPs to independently assess their quality and judge their relative superiority using study-specific rating scales. We compared report quality between CCPs and ReadSmart4U using repeated measures ANOVA and paired t-test.

RESULTS

The mean (standard deviation) age of the participants was 73.4 (7.3) years and 62.7% were women. Regardless of diagnosis, reports generated by ReadSmart4U were significantly richer and scored higher on overall quality, terminology accuracy, interpretation accuracy, usefulness, and writing quality than those generated by CCPs (p < 0.001). When comparing relative superiority in overall quality, a significantly higher percentage of reports generated by ReadSmart4U were superior to those generated by CCPs (80.2% superior to CCPs, 2.0% equal to CCPs, and 17.8% inferior to CCPs).

CONCLUSIONS

The interpretation of neuropsychological assessment battery results automatically generated by ReadSmart4U was found to be of high quality for clinical use.

This paper, taking functional equivalence theory as a basis and contrasting two English-translated texts respectively by Luo Jingguo and Xie Baikui from perspectives of word-level and syntactic-level equivalence, attempts to locate a translated version that can make the reading experience of the target-text receptors more similar to that of the original receptors. According to the analysis, it has been found that Luo Jingguo’s version can elicit a more ideal response from the target-text receptors and that it realizes functional equivalence in a better way.
Intertextuality in the contemporary Kabyle novel: The state-of-the-art
Authors: Achili Fadila , Achili Nora
Published: December 2023

This article delves into the phenomenon of intertextuality in the Kabyle novel, focusing on its genesis as a literary genre and the dialogic strategies employed by Kabyle authors. The 20th century witnessed a decline in Kabyle literature due to societal changes. However, a resurgence with the emergence of Kabyle novelists who skillfully incorporated oral cultural heritage into their literary works. Notably, the first written works in prose, exemplified by Belaid At-Ali's Lwali n Udrar, signified a poetic rejuvenation in Kabyle literature. Subsequently, the 1970s witnessed the rise of the Kabyle novel, influenced by the establishment of publishing houses and the imperative to express Amazigh identity. Distinguished by its unique themes, forms, geographical specificity, and cultural roots, the Kabyle novel ingeniously incorporates oral traditions, such as proverbs and popular tales, through the art of intertextuality. The integration of oral traditions serves multiple purposes, including the preservation of Kabyle society's values, the promotion of the aesthetic significance of the Kabyle language, and the expression of personal viewpoints. Kabyle novelists employ diverse approaches to incorporate proverbs, either seamlessly blending them into the narrative fabric or demarcating them with quotation marks. Likewise, popular tales are artfully interwoven into the novels, with each author offering their distinctive interpretation. The interaction with oral tradition manifests itself through the use of narrative anachronism, references to legendary figures, and the incorporation of traditional symbolism. These elements contribute significantly to the cultural and aesthetic dimensions of Kabyle novels.
Reforms Effectiveness and Fiscal Performance in Car
Authors: Banzara Jean Lambert
Published: December 2023

The CAR is a landlocked country in the heart of Africa with enormous potential not yet exploited but economically poor. The breasts providing it with the revenue to finance its public expenses are made up of tax and customs revenue as well as external donations and loans. Tax and customs revenues are preponderant and decisive in its own resources but they bring in little compared to the total wealth of the country measured in terms of GDP. Several reforms whose main goal is to improve the yield of Central African tax revenues have led the country to review the legal (tax code, investment code, tax treaties), economic (tax provisions applicable to the sectors of economic activity) and tax (measures in terms of tax rates, tax base and basis, conditions of liability and exemptions). The ultimate objective was to achieve profitable and inexpensive taxation for the Central African taxpayer. The aim of this article is to analyze the effectiveness of these reforms in terms of performance with regard to the successive measures applied to modify the country's tax system.
El rostro trinitario de la iglesia
Authors: Marroquín Luis Guillermo , Mora Johnny Miguel , Pérez Mora Cecilia Soledad
Published: December 2023

Our existence is based on the revelation of God who is One and Triune and has reflected His reality throughout creation, communicating His Trinitarian face by means of His son Jesus, who, in turn, involves us in this mystery by calling us as a Church in the Holy Spirit. This paper deals with the ecclesial reality that must be understood from this Trinitarian face of God because, by making us conscious of its original, unique, and unitarian elements present in divine Persons, we can perceive the richness of His reflection in the Church better and, thus, discern the necessary changes leading it to increasingly resemble its origin. For this reason, the three essentialities that, in our view, are trinitarianly present in the Church are ministeriality, sacramentality, and communionality, which make extra trinitarian missions visible, originating, in this way, novelty in historical avatars by creating dynamic-relational structures to recreate, embody, and activate the signs of the Kingdom to transform human reality.

Se hace preciso anotar que el vínculo entre los actores involucrados proporcionara un nuevo pensamiento para el conocimiento global, la comunidad académica y de alumnos involucrados en este proceso educativo será una responsabilidad genuina de gestar redes de conocimiento, iniciando con la transversalidad.
An Assessment of Women Empowerment in Various Fields
Authors: Ismail Ms. Faseela
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Women contribute about half of the total population of the world. India is a country which maintains high percentage of women population. They are often regarded as the better half of the society. In traditional societies they were confined to the four walls of house. But under the waves of liberalization and privatization, the role of women as entrepreneur and economic workers are already visible. The new breed of enterprising females is developing in India. The Constitution of India has guaranteed the right of equality to all citizens irrespective of their sex, caste, creed and region. The persistent of gender inequality is most starkly brought home in the phenomenon of “missing women”. For each missing women, there are many more women who fail to get an education, a job, or a political responsibility that they would have obtained if they had been men. Government after realising the situations of women and their worse position in the society took huge initiatives to bring about a change and improve the social, economic and political conditions of women. It cannot be said that the measures taken have been completely implemented in the society as still customs and traditions are given much more importance in a country like India, still, a gradual change has been experienced by the women over these years and they have become much more independent and aware in today’s time.

Rainfall data is critical for planning and research in the field of hydrology. Rainfall data must be available continuously, which means it must be recorded continuously. This recording will continue since numerous projects in the field of hydrology require continuous rainfall data. Although rainfall data are collected and recorded daily, some stations frequently have insufficient rainfall records, particularly in developing countries such as Bali, Indonesia. These issues may impair the quality of rainfall data, resulting in inaccuracies in the analysis results. To address this issue, we need a reliable source of rainfall data, one of which is NASA Power, which provides rainfall data for free. NASA Power rainfall data is then compared to observed rainfall data. The comparison of the two rainfalls is measured by a statistical parameter, namely the correlation coefficient. Based on the comparison between lowland and highland areas, the average daily rainfall from NASA Power tends to be lower than the average daily rainfall from observation stations. Meanwhile, from the correlation coefficient value (r) of the comparison of rainfall observations and NASA Power, a considerably high correlation coefficient value (> 0.7) was observed. Thus, it can be suggested that the rainfall data from NASA Power for hydrology research and planning activities in Bali Island, Indonesia.

Prestressed concrete is the perfect composite consisting of high-strength concrete and strands with reinforcement with high yield strength Prestressed concrete beam is one of the concrete innovations that have been used in many constructions. The advantage of prestressed concrete particularly using the post-tensioning method, in designing and applying prestressed concrete beam for the building is that the tensioning can be carried out in stages, for all tendons in a member, or some of them Prestressed concrete beam using post-tensioning method can be an alternative to increase the span of the building when removing the existing column in the center of the building is required. In this paper, the use of prestressed concrete beam will be designed in Nyitdah Hospital-Tabanan, Bali. The prestressed beam is designed with 60/90 cm dimension and 1 tendon unit with 12 strands unit. Based on the design and result, the prestressed beam can be used as the alternative to increase spans in a building room of the Nyitdah hospital.

Repeated dynamic loads on multiple stories structure may cause damage in the midst of natural disaster, such as earthquakes and landslides, hence it is necessary to observe how the response occurs. Therefore, this paper studies the performance of two-story steel frame without braces and with inverted V concentric braces. Both frames were given a static and a dynamic load in the form of a sinusoidal load for 2 seconds in the form of forced harmonic vibration. After the dynamic load is turned off, harmonic free vibration applies. Vibration is given to the weakest orthogonal axis on the frame with a frequency of 0,5 Hz; 1,03 Hz; 1.7 Hz. To reduce the deviation between stories that occur due to dynamic loads, bracing is provided as a stiffening element. The test variations are called models 1, 2 and 3 with model 1 unbraced frame and model 2 braced frame with the same load between floors, while model 3 unbraced frame model with weight 2nd floor is 3 times larger than 1st floor. It found that the braced frame has a minimum drift and its drift is enhanced with the increase of load capacity.
