Coordinated EV Charging Based on Charging Profile Clustering and Rule-Based Energy Management
Authors: Salah Alia , Abu Mohareb Omar , Brosi Frank , Reuss Hans-Christian
Published: June 2023

In this work, a novel approach is introduced comprising a combination of unsupervised machine learning (ML) scheme and charging energy management of electric vehicles (EV). The main goal of this implementation is to reduce the load peak of charging EV’s, which are regular users of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) of a certain building and, at the same time, to meet their electric and behavioral demands. The unsupervised ML considers certain features within the charging profiles in addition to the behavioral characteristics of the EV based on its intended use. Moreover, these features are extracted from large sets of history measurement data of the EVSE, which are stored in the data bank. The ML categorizes the EVs within certain clusters having defined specifications. After that and based on these clusters, several rules are extracted in order to manage the charging energy while meeting both the electric and behavioral demands of the EVs and thus enabling a smart and coordinated charging process. The energy management is carried out in terms of both the current situation of the charging points and the participating vehicles. As a proof of concept, the FKFS research EVSE are employed to collect the data from a regular group of service, fleet and guest EVs. Then a rule based energy management system is implemented to reduce the load peak of EV for a given real scenario. The approach is successful of reducing the charging load peak substantially while meeting electric energy demands of the participating vehicles and increasing the availability of the charging points significantly. The combined action of the EV clustering scheme and energy management provides a smart and coordinated charging, which guarantees reduced load peaks of the building in addition, to ensuring proper charging of the EVs.

Authors: Junaedi Junaedi , Mulya Jaya
Published: June 2023

Understanding the importance of jurisprudence in relation to the role of judges in processing a case in court, all of this indicates that jurisprudence is an integral part when judges process a case to make a decision when the written legal rules are not textually stated. And this is also the principle of freedom of action for judges, when the legal text does not stipulate concretely, this is all done to fill the legal void. However, what needs to be considered is the principle of freedom of action (freies ermeseen/discretion) for a state official (judge), may not act as freely as one's own will, but that freedom of action must result in legal decisions that are guided by the values ??of justice, the value of usefulness and the value of justice. certainty to be felt by all components of society. Thus, the role and existence of a prudential jurist in the legal system in Indonesia is highly expected to build and enforce socially just laws for all Indonesian people. For this reason, a legal issue arises, what is the role and existence of jurisprudence in the legal system in Indonesia? This requires a legal reasoning that is firm, clear and concrete so that in practice the law can be touched by all levels of Indonesian society.

Published: June 2023

Concentration-Discharge relationships are a key tool for understanding the sources and transport of material from watersheds to fluvial networks. Turbidity based estimating of suspended sediment concentration is widely used for river studies due to its simply and cheap using. The relation between suspended sediment concentration (turbidity) and discharge is not normally homogenous and often producing hysteretic loop. Therefore, this work identified the hysteresis types of the turbidity-discharge relationships in river Ose. Data were collected at coordinates 7⁰ 18’ 35.5” N and 5⁰ 39’ 52.5” E for two-year period and analysis showed that counter-clockwise hysteresis loop pattern was dominant. This suggested that overland flow is much possible in the study area.

Background: According to the Ministry of Health data, cancer prevalence is growing internationally and in Saudi Arabia, particularly colorectal cancer (CRC). We also noticed several individuals with a spectrum of different clinical presentations of gastro intestinal symptoms among adults in our routine primary health care (PHC) practice. Methodology: A 379 person cross-sectional research was undertaken among PHC participants from June 2021 to December 2022. SPSS was used to enter and evaluate data. Statistical tests such as basic proportions, chi square test for categorical data, risk variables relationship with CRC, and logistic regression analysis were used. The current study found that nearly half of the individuals (50.9%) had strong CRC knowledge of common symptoms. Dietary variables, fast meals, and greasy foods were cited by nearly two-thirds of the study group (69.5%) as potential causes of CRC. Furthermore, two-thirds (68.6%) were aware of the CRC screening test. Regression analysis was used, and a significant correlation was found between risk variables of fast-food intake, daily red meat consumption, and physical inactivity with CRC knowledge (P - 0.026, 0.012, and 0.004, respectively). Conclusions: According to the findings, primary health care attendants have a low level of CRC awareness. Almost one-third (35.6%) of persons will have a FOBE test for CRC. There is a need to raise knowledge of risk factors and CRC screening, as well as to strengthen current awareness programs. More research is needed to back up the current study findings in our population

Mining in Indonesia provides great economic benefits, but can also cause negative impacts in the form of environmental damage. Attention to mining, apart from its negative impacts, is also related to the public interest, namely the right of everyone to a good and healthy environment (Article 65 paragraph 1 of the Environmental Protection and Management Law). CV Kayon needs to pay attention to the principle of public interest for the surrounding community by conducting mediation to produce a consensus decision that provides benefits for both parties. The implementation of the principle of public interest is the main thing that must be done by CV Kayon so that the Sindumartani Village community does not reject the sand mining that will be carried out, but of course, it must pay attention to the rights, wishes, local wisdom of the community and prioritize the benefits that can be provided, on the one hand, the Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL) that CV Kayon already has needs to be socialized to the community, so that the community knows what kind of impact it will have and environmental preservation after mining activities have been carried out.

The aim of this study is to analyse the possible consequences of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's 2023 electoral success in Turkey on the bilateral relations between Türkiye and India. Since 2003, Erdoğan has been an influential figure in Turkish politics, known for his assertive leadership style and nationalist policies. The outcomes of his recent electoral victory have sparked noteworthy curiosity regarding its implications on Turkey's foreign policy, particularly in the context of Türkiye-India bilateral relationship. The research methodology employed in this study is qualitative in nature, and it involves an extensive examination of scholarly articles, news, reports, and official statements from both nations. This paper analyses the fundamental elements of the bilateral relations between Türkiye and India, encompassing political, economic, and cultural aspects. Additionally, it evaluates the potential impact of Erdoğan's victory on each of these domains. The firstly, Erdoğan's victory can further strengthen his power in Turkey. So, it is possible that Erdoğan's views on Kashmir, Indian Muslims and Palestine may effect Turkey's foreign policy towards India. Secondly, trade and investment between Turkey and India has grown significantly for the last few years. However, Erdoğan's victory could lead to economic uncertainty in Turkey, which could affect bilateral trade and investment, economic experts said. Lastly, cultural and people-to-people contacts have strengthened Türkiye-India relations. However, Erdoğan's domestic policies promoting Turkish nationalism and conservative beliefs may alter Turkey's social and cultural dynamics. While Erdoğan's victory could transform Turkey-India relations, domestic and international variables will determine their fate. The study recommends that Indian policymakers closely monitor Turkey's foreign policy under Erdoğan and engage in active diplomacy to maintain constructive dialogue to ensure that potential differences do not undermine historical ties and mutual interests.

Published: June 2023

A simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly synthesis technique of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extracts of Egyptian date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seeds and their antibacterial activity assessment have been conducted. Theaqueous extract was used as reducing and stabilizer agents in the synthesis of AgNPs. Characterization of AgNPs was done using different methods including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ﬁeld emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). UV-Vis spectrum of the aqueous medium containing AgNPs showed an absorption peak at around 432 nm. FTIR spectra had shown that the biomolecules were responsible for the reduction and capping agents of AgNPs. XRD study showed the particles to be crystalline with a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. The AgNPs exhibited signiﬁcant anti-bacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus. Overall, these ﬁndings suggest that biosynthesized AgNPs may be used as a potential therapeutic formulation against bacterial infections.

Effects of Environmental Change on Species Diversity
Authors: Mulinge Joshua
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study is to assess the effects of environmental changes on species diversity

Methodology: This study adopted a desktop methodology. This study used secondary data from which include review of existing literature from already published studies and reports that was easily accessed through online journals and libraries

Findings: The study found that environmental changes, such as deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and urbanization, lead to a decline in species diversity. Climate change has emerged as a critical driver of changes in species diversity. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and sea-level rise have caused shifts in species distributions, changes in community composition, and reductions in species richness. Pollution including water and air pollution, has detrimental effects on species diversity especially in aquatic ecosystems.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was anchored on the theory of island biogeography which was propounded by Robert MacArthur and E. O. Wilson and niche theory which was originally proposed by G.E. Hutchinson. The study recommended that conservation efforts should prioritize habitat preservation and restoration. Protecting and restoring natural habitats is crucial for maintaining species diversity. Conservation practices should focus on minimizing habitat loss, creating ecological corridors, and rehabilitating degraded habitats. Environmental policies and regulations should be designed to mitigate the drivers of environmental change and promote sustainable practices.

Effects of Additives on Concrete-Rebar Adherence
Authors: YÜCEL Kemal Tuşat , ERTEN Kemal Muhammet
Published: June 2023

In composite reinforced concrete elements formed by concrete and rebar, only if these two materials work together, reinforced concrete elements can fully function. The significant factor that will ensure working together is the bond strength, which is called adherence. The higher the value of this force, the harder the rebar is to pull out from the concrete. In this experimental study, the effect of concrete additives and aggregate type on the bond strength and the amount of elongation of the reinforcement without stripping from the concrete was investigated. For this purpose, 28-day compressive strength and adherence force and reinforcement elongation amounts of the concrete mixtures produced by using mineral, chemical and fiber additives for two different aggregate series, crushed stone and gravel, and two different cement dosages, were observed. In addition, by using 3 different rebar in terms of diameter and surface properties, the effect of these properties on concrete-rebar adherence was revealed. As a result of the study, the use of crushed stone aggregate, hyperplasticizer additive, mineral additive and ribbed rebar with 18mm diameter increased the bond strength compared to the reference samples.

Authors: Regalado Adam , Decker Bonnie , Flaherty Breanna M , Zimmer Lindsee , Brown India
Published: June 2023

Importance: This systemic review synthesizes the existing literature to determine whether constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is more effective than other approaches in improving upper extremity function in children diagnosed with hemiparesis associated with cerebral palsy (CP).

Objective: To advance the knowledge of the effectiveness of CIMT for occupational therapy practitioners by critiquing research conducted over the past 20 yr.

Data Sources: Databases used in the search were CINAHL, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, PsycINFO, PubMed, Research Gate, and Google Scholar. Studies published from 2001 to 2021 were reviewed.

Study Selection and Data Collection: Articles were included if (1) the primary diagnosis was hemiparesis associated with CP; (2) participants were younger than age 21 yr; (3) constraint-induced therapy, CIMT, or other modified forms of CIMT were offered as an intervention; and (4) there was at least one group in the study.

Findings: Forty studies were included in the analysis. The results demonstrate that CIMT produces improved affected upper extremity function when compared with general rehabilitation. However, there were no differences in outcomes when bimanual approaches were compared with CIMT.

Conclusions and Relevance: The data support that CIMT is a beneficial and effective treatment when used to improve the upper extremity function of children with hemiparesis associated with CP. However, more Level 1b studies are needed to compare CIMT with bimanual therapy to determine which one is most effective and under which conditions.

What This Article Adds: This systematic review demonstrates that CIMT is an effective intervention when compared with other therapeutic approaches. This intervention can be used by occupational therapy practitioners who work with children diagnosed with hemiparesis associated with CP.
Lung function and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Shen Jiran , Wang Yue , Zhou Sijing , Tang Min , Li Min , Han Rui , Wang Ran
Published: June 2023

Introduction

Associations of pulmonary function as evaluated by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been reported in observational studies. Nevertheless, observational studies are susceptible to bias and reverse causality, making it difficult to infer the existence and direction of causality. We aimed to evaluate the causal effect of pulmonary function on NAFLD using the Mendelian randomization (MR) method.

Material and methods

We performed univariate MR, multivariate MR, and bidirectional two-sample MR analyses to jointly assess the causal relationship between pulmonary function and NAFLD. In addition to the inverse variance weighting method as the primary MR analysis, three complementary methods were also performed. A series of sensitivity analyses were carried out to rule out pleiotropy.

Results

We found that each genetically predicted (standard deviation) SD increase in FEV1 and FVC was associated with decreased NAFLD risk. However, after adjusting for height in the multivariate MR, only the effect of FEV1 on NAFLD risk remained significant. Furthermore, we found no causal effect of NAFLD on lung function in the reverse MR analysis.

Conclusions

Our findings indicated that reduced lung function, especially FEV1, is causally associated with the risk of NAFLD. Although the mechanism remains unclear, FEV1 could be considered when assessing NAFLD risk and as a potential target for NAFLD prevention.

Euthanasia in the practice of the european court of human rights
Authors:   Institute of Social Sciences, Kovačević Dušica
Published: June 2023

The paper aims to shed light on the interpretation of mercy killing, i.e., euthanasia, in European Court of Human Rights cases. This controversial phenomenon has a specific legal status. More specifically, due to the complexity of euthanasia, it is impossible to create universally accepted international standards. On the other hand, modern society creates a need to expand the legal boundaries regarding bioethical issues related to the compassionate endof-life care. The European Court of Human Rights is a unique international organization that interprets universal legal documents, especially the European Convention on Human Rights, in the context of euthanasia. Bearing this in mind, it is important to collect and analyze the information resulting from the specific decision-making process of the European Court of Human Rights. The Court’s past and future similar cases will certainly affect the future legal status of euthanasia both internationally and at the level of member states.

Today's environmental and living conditions necessitate reconsideration of traditional cotton fabric bleaching processes. For this reason, it is very important for the environment and the economy to obtain higher whiteness values by using less water and chemicals in bleaching. Sodium chlorite (NaClO2), the source of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as the most important disinfectant, which gained popularity and availability during the COVID-19 pandemic, is an appropriate oxidant for the purpose. Using NaClO2 as bleaching agent has significant advantages, such as reducing the amount of washing proses and increasing of cotton strength. Another advantage of this reagent is that it causes less fabric weight loss than other reagents. Therefore, the present work was intended to improve the process conditions (different temperatures, concentrations, and times) of bleaching of cotton fabric by using NaClO2. Optimum temperature and time were determined as 30 min at 65 °C and 30 min at 85 °C, and a high whiteness index (W.I.=88) was obtained by using phosphonic acid (HEDP). Moreover, the tensile strength, weight loss and morphologies of the samples were examined. It has been observed that sodium chlorite causes little damage to cotton fibers and requires less water for rinsing since it does not form alkaline residues.

Published: June 2023

EN EL CONTEXTO DE LA CONMEMORACIÓN DEL BICENTENARIO de las repúblicas hispanoamericanas y, por lo tanto, de la formalización del lugar de Colombia en la escena internacional, El comportamiento internacional de Colombia en el siglo XIX constituye una cartografía para ubicar a Colombia en el mundo y al mundo en el país. Pretende ser una brújula que guíe la exploración de las diversas expresiones de lo internacional en Colombia durante dicho siglo con el fin de enriquecer la comprensión de las dinámicas internacionales de nuestro país y cuestionar el aparente determinismo de Estados Unidos como el gran actor desde el siglo XX. También, contribuye al acercamiento disciplinar entre la historia y las relaciones internacionales en el país, a la vez que cuestiona las narrativas tradicionales e interactúa con nuevas corrientes historiográficas, incluye distintos actores —científicos y coleccionistas, entre otros— y, ante todo, se constituye como un espacio de debate y diálogo para el estudio de las relaciones internacionales de manera interrelacionada. Si bien en algunos de los ensayos que componen el libro está presente la perspectiva tradicional, que se centra en la diplomacia, las políticas gubernamentales y la economía, otros van más allá y exploran diversas perspectivas.
Non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergy in children. Diagnostics, differential diagnostics, tactics of diet therapy
Authors: Макарова С.Г. , Лаврова Т.Е. , Новик Г.А.
Published: June 2023

В рутинной педиатрической практике не-IgЕ-опосредованные формы гастроинтестинальной пищевой аллергии по-прежнему остаются плохо распознаваемыми. Это обусловлено многообразием клинических проявлений, отсутствием достоверных лабораторных диагностических методов, неочевидной ассоциацией со временем и причинно-следственной связью с аллергеном. Незрелость барьерных механизмов, ранний перевод ребенка на искусственное вскармливание увеличивают проникновение в организм значительного количества чужеродных белков и способствуют развитию пищевой сенсибилизации. Принято выделять следующие клинические формы гастроинтестинальной не-IgE-опосредованной пищевой аллергии у детей – синдром энтероколита, индуцированного пищевыми белками, индуцированная пищей энтеропатия и индуцированный пищей проктоколит. В случае не-IgE-опосредованных реакций со стороны желудочно-кишечного тракта диета остается универсальным диагностическим и лечебным мероприятием. Элиминация значимого аллергена позволяет обеспечить иммунологический покой и формирование пищевой толерантности. В этой связи принципиально важными становятся строгость и продолжительность соблюдения элиминационной диеты (комплаентность). В статье описываются клинические фенотипы гастроинтестинальной пищевой аллергии, приводится дифференциальный диагноз в зависимости от уровня аллергического воспаления, описываются принципы и протоколы диагностической и элиминационной диеты.

In routine pediatric practice, non-IgE-mediated forms of gastrointestinal food allergy are still poorly recognized. This is due to the variety of clinical manifestations, the lack of reliable laboratory diagnostic methods, the unclear association with time, and the causal relationship with the allergen. Immature barrier mechanisms and early transition to formula feeding increase the penetration of allergen proteins, leading to sensitization. The article discusses three clinical forms of non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergy in children: food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, food protein enteropathy, and food protein-induced proctocolitis. In these cases, diet is a universal diagnostic and therapeutic measure. Eliminating the allergen allows for immunological reset and the induce the food tolerance. Therefore, strict adherence to elimination diets is crucial. The article also provides a differential diagnosis based on the level of allergic inflammation of the intestine and outlines principles and protocols for diagnostic and elimination diets.

Abstract. The hydroxyl radical (OH) is the main atmospheric oxidant responsible for
the removal of many reduced trace gases and the formation of secondary air
pollutants. However, due to technical difficulties in measuring OH, the
existing measurements of atmospheric OH concentrations are limited, and its
sources and sinks are not well understood under low-nitrogen-oxide
(NOx) conditions. In this study, we observed the OH concentrations
using chemical ionization mass spectrometry at a coastal site in Hong Kong
from October to November 2020. The average noontime OH concentration over
the study period was measured at 4.9±2.1×106 cm−3. We found that a box model with comprehensive observational constraints reproduced the observed daytime OH concentrations when air parcels originated from the continental regions. However, this model overpredicted the observed daytime OH concentrations for coastal air parcels by 142 % on average. Unaccounted-for OH sinks in the model are proposed to be the cause of this overprediction. A missing OH reactivity, which is defined as the pseudo-first-order rate coefficient for OH loss by unmeasured trace gases, was estimated as 5.0±2.6 s−1 (lower limit) in the coastal air, and the missing reactivity increased with decreasing concentrations of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Further studies are needed to find out the exact cause of the model overestimation and to identify the suspected unmeasured chemical species that contribute to the OH budget, in order to better quantify the formation of secondary air pollutants.
