ased on the results of observations made by researchers in the January-December semester 2019/2020, researchers found the phenomenon that the level of teacher discipline in collecting learning tools is still low. This can be seen from the time researchers asked teachers to collect learning tools. Many teachers did not collect the learning tools that were requested. There are also teachers who are in a hurry to prepare a learning kit when the Principal or supervisor will supervise the class. Of the 6 class teachers, if averaged, then only 60%, teachers who complete the learning tools in the form of syllabus, SK / KD analysis, lesson plans, prota promissory notes and teaching materials. Meanwhile, 40% of teachers do not collect. This research is a School Action research. Research procedures in this study include planning, action, observation and reflection. This research consisted of two cycles with four meetings. The research subjects consisted of 6 Kinali SMAN 2 subject teachers who were research subjects teachers. Research data were collected using observation sheets. Data were analyzed using percentages. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the application of reward and punishment systems can improve teacher discipline in collecting learning tools. This is evidenced from before applying reward and punishment, the percentage of teachers who collected learning tools was only 66.67% with those who collected on time only amounted to 22.81%. After applying the reward and punishment system, in the first cycle, the teacher who collected the learning tools became 79.65% with the percentage who collected on time was 35.79%. After the second cycle, the percentage of teachers who collected learning tools became 97.54% with the percentage of teachers who collected on time amounted to 81.05%.

Інтермедіальність ранньої прози Миколи Хвильового: «Синій листопад»

The novella "Blue November" by the outstanding Ukrainian prose writer Mykola Khvylovy is examined from the point of view of the poetics of intermediality. Musical techniques were highlighted that were actualized at different levels of a literary work. In addition to the intermediality, the method of comparative analysis of the literary text was applied: the work of Khvylovy was analyzed in comparison with the literary symphonies of his predecessor, the Russian writer Andrei Bely.

It has been determined that Khvylovy's novella contains a wide range of musical techniques, including variable repetition, a branched system of leitmotifs, and a counterpoint, thanks to which the reader has a feeling of simultaneity. Variable repetition performs the function of harmonizing the imaginary disorder of the events fragmentarily outlined in the novella, defining the emotional atmosphere of the work and giving the novella integrity and completeness.

The analysis proves that the leading "musical" motif in the novella is blue November. It is the center of the lyrical plot, which unfolds in parallel with the events described in the work. A complex system of motifs is built around two oppositional semantic centers – “overmountain (zagornaya) commune” and “darkness”. This opposition determines the color scheme inherent in the work, characterized by the consistent opposition of blue and black colors in accordance with the method of contrast that is common in romanticism.

The appeal of Andrey Bely and Mykola Khvylovy to musical techniques is explained by the closeness of their artistic methods and worldview positions based on the romantic idea of the existence of two worlds – the profane one and the sacred one. This idea, in turn, corresponds to the epic and lyrical ("musical") plots, correlating with each other.

Among the counterpoint techniques in the novella, the following were highlighted: firstly, a separate exposition of two leitmotifs with their subsequent combination; secondly, accession; thirdly, cross structures, characteristic of a vertically movable counterpoint.

It is concluded that variable repetition, a system of leitmotifs and counterpoint technique perform plot-generating and forming functions in Khvylovy's work, and the incorporation of musical techniques into a literary text allows us to assert that the writer has created a new genre modification of the novella.
Жанрові особливості та творчий потенціал сучасної української літератури (на прикладі українського цифрового самвидаву)
Authors: Дев'ятко Наталія Володимирівна
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to the study of genre features and creative potential of modern Ukrainian literature, which has the form of digital self-publishing. The study used hermeneutic, comparative, system-structural and structural-functional methods, as well as conceptual, plot-image, problem-thematic analysis, text-analytical method of "careful reading" to read the archetypal and code content of texts and others.

Currently, there are more than 10 literary digital self-published resources inUkraine. However, the prose resources "Booknet" and "Arkush" have the real influence on the literary process. Both allow authors to communicate with readers through digital self-publishing.

Five factors influence the work of modern Ukrainian authors: 1) the influence of classical Ukrainian and world canons; 2) the influence of postmodernism both in the literature and at the social and ideological levels; 3) the influence of mass literature of the Russian Federation; 4) the influence of translations and modern European literature; 5) the influence of the Internet and communication with the reader. In the context of digital self-publishing, each of these factors has its own specifics. The influence of cinema on mass literature is especially powerful. This can be manifested as a replication of the template (simplification), and in the form of systemic plot and psychological complication of textual structures.

Today, digital self-publishing is represented by a whole range of genres: fiction (science fiction, fantasy, mystical prose, etc.), realism (historical, romantic, social, psychological novel, detective, thriller, etc.), and literature for children and youth. In each genre we see original novels that are not inferior in quality to those published through publishing houses. The latter makes it possible to talk about the emergence of writers inUkrainewho can be "indie authors". That corresponds to the global changes in book publishing.
Граматичне представлення поняття повноти в російськомовному поетичному дискурсі: когнітивне підґрунтя й функціювання
Authors: Скоробогатова Олена Олександрівна
Published: August 2022

The article deals with different approaches to the problems of motif analysis. The point of view of researchers, who consider linguistic, and in particular, grammatical specificity of motif representation in the Russian-speaking poetry of the XIX–XXI centuries, are described. The cognitive grounds of singling out the notion of completeness as a semantic universal in the works of A. Vezbitskaya are discussed. We hypothesise that the completeness motif in Russian is represented by the pronoun “all” – “all”, “always” and that this meaning can be transferred using the full categorical morphological paradigm. Atypical for a non-fiction text, the simultaneous representation of morphological paradigms in a fiction text is a way of grammaticalizing this concept. The analysis of significant poetic material allows us to argue that Russian poetic discourse of modern and contemporary times presents numerous variants of representing the completeness motif by means of deployment and joint representation of the morphological paradigm of time, gender, case, person, i.e., polysemous morphological paradigms. In Russian poetry the full paradigm of gender forms a stable sense of spatial and subject completeness (the meaning “all” / “all” is grammaticalized). The meaning “all” is also conveyed by the person paradigm of the pronoun and the verb. The case paradigm forms the meaning of the meaning of the concept named by the case paradigm of a particular lexeme. The temporal paradigm in artistic realization forms the meaning of “always”. We consider the poetic reception of grammatical paradigmatic representation of grammemes as evidence of active development of poetic philology. Grammaticalization of poetry, characteristic of the Russian artistic discourse of the XX-XXI centuries, led to a regular occurrence of paradigmatic blocks in poems. Individual blocks of complete morphological paradigms began to refer to precedent texts, forming intertextual discursive links. It is argued that complete paradigmatic blocks, conveying the meaning of completeness, serve as a significant marker of contemporary Russian-language poetic discourse.

The aim of this research is to examine the narrative representation of epidemics in the 20th century U.S. literature, using the methods of narratological analysis and receptive aesthetics. The study relies on the corpus of the 20th century U.S. novels: Scarlet Plague (1912) by Jack London, Earth Abides (1949) by George R. Stewart, I am Legend (1954) by Richard Matheson, The Stand (1978) by Stephen King, Contagion (1996) by Robin Cook, and Darwin’s Radio (1999) by Greg Bear. The aspects of epidemic representation in fiction have been studied using modern literary criticism research in the areas of narratology and receptive aesthetics, which determines the relevance of the present paper. The motif is rooted in the 19th-century Romantic literature (E.A. Poe’s fiction); it acquires further extensive development in the 20th century science fiction, horror, post-apocalyptic (dystopian) and contemporary medical thriller genres. In the second half of the 20th century, by using the motifs of epidemic and pandemic, the writers contemplate upon the issues of science, its capacities, limitations and potential hazards. In the frame of examined novels, the pandemic topos serves as a tool for «reloading» the human population on earth, «resetting» humanity and bringing it back ad fonts. It also acts as a reminder about the dangers of negligence and misuse of research advances. In such a manner, the authors caution the readers against the potential dangers of the 20th-century advances. In the light of COVID-19 pandemic, the study of the literary depiction of this motif in national literatures and different historical periods becomes especially relevant, because it allows us to re-consider this phenomenon and thus to try to help the mankind to learn one's lesson and perhaps avoid similar calamities in the future.
ІНФЕРНАЛЬНИЙ ОБРАЗ ЛІТАВЦЯ (ПЕРЕЛЕСНИКА) В УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ РОМАНТИЧНІЙ ПРОЗІ

The aim of the article is to comprehend the specifics of the infernal image of the litavets (perelesnyk) in Ukrainian romantic prose. In order to achieve this goal, the following systemic unity of research methods was used: typological, biographical, comparative, genetic, method of analysis and synthesis, mythopoetic approach to the interpretation oftexts.

The article on the material of folk poetry and literary texts, as well as folklore studies of V. Hnatiuk, O. Kononenko, E. Onatsky and other scientists characterizes the infernal image of the litavets.

It is determined that the litavets (perelesnyk, fire snake, nalitnyk, litun, obaiasnyk, perelet) is an anthropomorphic infernal character. Its main function is to enter into intimate relations with women, which subsequently mostly turn into death.

The image of the perelesnyk is quite popular in folk tales and legends. Thus, in fairy tales he often appears as an antagonistic hero who kidnaps girls, which is mentioned in such works as «Ivan the King, his sister and the snake», «Kotygoroshko», «How snakes kidnapped three sisters», «Snake winner and the dragon», «The Tale of Ivan Golyk and his brother», etc. In these works, along with the motif of kidnapping women, there is also the motif of snake-fighting.

Note that the motif of victory over the insidious serpent is leading in folk legends, in particular in stories about the serpent shaft, the terrible serpent defeated by Boris and Gleb, in the story of Kozhumyak (mentions of these legends are also found in the early edition of the first historical novel in Ukrainian literature «Five Chapters from P. Kulesh's New Novel ”Black Council”», 1845).

Interpretation of the mythical nature of the fire snake has become widespread in fiction, especially in the prose of the Romantic period. A striking example of this is the work of P. Kulish (the stories «About what in the town of Voronezh dried up Peshevtsov Pond», 1840; «Fire Snake», 1841) and I. Barshchevsky (the story «Nobleman Zavalnya»), where the image of a perelesnyk is available in the chapter «On the Warlock and the Serpent Hatched from the Egg of a Rooster», 1844).

P. Kulish instory «About what in the town of Voronezh dried up Peshevtsov Pond» the image of an incubus who came to his beloved every night, and in the story of the fire snake the writer presented the image of a perelesnyk-seducer, who did not suck, but gave a beauty his chosen woman. In I. Barshchevsky's story about the nobleman Zavalnya, the serpent turned into a young man, but he could not seduce the belle, as sincere prayer and a saving cross stood in the way.

Authors: Azizkhani Maryam , Sodanlo Azam
Published: August 2022

Background: Probiotic products contain metabolites that have positive effects on the intestinal microorganisms and well-being of the host as well as possess antimicrobial properties. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the antifungal activities of the water-soluble peptides (WSPs) found in ewe and cow milk kefir fermented by the traditional kefiran of Semnan (Semnan province, Iran). Materials and Methods: Kefir samples were prepared by inoculating Iranian traditional kefiran into pasteurized milk. WPSs were extracted and antifungal activity was evaluated. Results: During the 28-day storage, the concentration of the amino acids increased except for a decrease detected in the concentration of arginine, aspartic acid, cysteine, and glycine; and the total amino acid concentration in ewe milk and kefir was higher than that in cow’s milk and kefir. The WSPs of both kefir samples showed considerable inhibitory activities against the growth of Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, but Penicillium sp. had the lowest sensitivity when treated with WSPs. The antifungal activity of WSPs of ewe kefir was significantly higher than that of cow kefir. The highest growth inhibitory potential of WSPs between two kefir samples was found for C. albicans. The antifungal potential of WSPs of ewe kefir was considerably higher than that of cow kefir. Conclusion: The higher antifungal potential of ewe kefir was likely associated with the high concentration of protein, extensive degradation of proteins, and diversity of amino acids produced during the fermentation.

Authors: Luján-Favela Manuel , Chávez-Sánchez Noé
Published: August 2022

Los productores regionales de chile jalapeño (Capsicum annuum L.) generalmente siembran en surcos a 90 cm con una hilera de plantas separadas a 40 cm, con un rendimiento promedio de apenas 23 t ha1. Por tal razón, se llevaron a cabo dos experimentos para evaluar el crecimiento, desarrollo y producción del chile jalapeño en diferentes densidades y arreglos topológicos de plantas. En 1995 se evaluaron cuatro distancias entre surcos (50, 70, 90 y 110 cm) y cuatro entre plantas (10, 25, 40 y 55 cm) y cuatro números de plantas por cepellón (1 a 4) en la variedad Jalapeño M; en 1996 se evaluaron las distancias de 50, 70 y 90 cm entre surcos y de 20, 40, y 60 cm entre plantas en la variedad Jalapeño M y el híbrido Jalapeño Delicias. El estudio se realizó bajo un diseño de tratamientos San Cristóbal 1 en 1995 y un factorial completo 32 en 1996, ambos en un diseño de bloques completos al azar con dos repeticiones y una unidad experimental de tres surcos de 5 m. La respuesta de los genotipos en rendimiento total a la densidad de plantas, se evaluó con la prueba de t. Al acortar la distancia entre surcos y entre plantas, se incrementaron significativamente el rendimiento al primer corte y el total, sin afectar la calidad del fruto, de modo que 50 cm entre surcos y 40 entre plantas fue el mejor arreglo, aunque la altura de la planta se incrementó y el diámetro de tallo y cobertura disminuyeron. El híbrido rindió más que la variedad tanto en bajas como en altas poblaciones de plantas, La calidad del fruto disminuyó con el mayor número de plantas por cepellón. Los espaciamientos estrechos entre plantas y surcos y el mayor número de plantas por cepellón, retrasaron la aparición de la floración y fructificación por la mayor competencia, sobre todo en la variedad Jalapeño M.

Published: August 2022

The difficulties of finding a parking spot in any business area are well-known to drivers. Parking tends to put them behind schedule owing to inefficient parking systems, making it much longer due to lost tickets, slow payment procedures, and insufficient parking information. To help lessen the delays caused by these problems, the researchers intend to integrate a technology-based solution in the three important parking procedures — the car entry and exit, the payment mechanism, and the location of parking slots — to significantly reduce the time spent handling these processes, with a particular emphasis on the management system’s ability to improve the parking experience. This study, titled Implementation of RFID-based Automated Parking Management System: A Project Feasibility, seeks to determine the feasibility of an RFID-based parking management system at Victory Mall and Market in Tanauan City, Batangas as its initial client. The project consists of two parts: (1) the system itself as the product and (2) the service that it will provide, featured by its cashless, contactless, and paperless transactions, making the overall service effective and efficient. The researchers conclude that the project is attainable, anticipating an initial service capacity of 929,888.07 parking hours with a 5% annual increase that will result in an average gross profit ratio of 68% per year. It is expected to have a three-year payback period for the total investments of its shareholders amounting to PHP 15,000,000.00. The assumed start of operation where the company caters to its first client is in June 2023.

A partir de un enfoque teórico ecléctico, se examina la evolución institucional, las regularidades y las deficiencias intrínsecas del Mercosur. Se pone énfasis en el impacto de la relación bilateral sobre el bloque y en cómo las políticas exteriores de ambos países se complementan con las asimetrías crecientes y sus identidades divergentes, lo cual profundiza las falencias institucionales mercosureñas.
Estudio de reacciones de interés atmosférico
Authors:   , Tamone Luciana Mariel
Published: August 2022

Esta Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo general determinar los productos y mecanismos de reacciones entre potenciales contaminantes atmosféricos y especies presentes en la atmósfera, tanto en ausencia como en presencia de radiación. Esto se pudo llevar a cabo mediante el estudio de compuestos halógenados y especies di o triatómicas presentes en la atmósfera, empleando la técnica de matrices a temperaturas criogénicas y espectroscopía FTIR. Además, los resultados obtenidos en las reacciones en fase gaseosa permitieron la comparación con los resultados obtenidos en matrices, lo cual posibilitó proponer diferentes mecanismos de reacción. Se estudió el tricloetileno (TCE), un compuesto orgánico clorado que es usado como un solvente comercial para la limpieza de textiles en seco, para el desengrasado de metales, disolvente de adhesivos, removedor de pintura, lubricante, fumigante, anestésico, analgésico y desinfectante. Debido a que se libera a la atmósfera por su alta volatilidad, los autores remarcan prestar especial atención en su concentración, por su efecto sobre el medio ambiente y la salud humana. Las concentraciones atmosféricas del TCE dependen de la relación dada por la producción/emisión y de la vida media en la atmósfera. El TCE es oxidado en la tropósfera y su vida media fue calculada mediante su reacción con OH y varía entre 2 a 9 días. Durante el desarrollo de la Tesis Doctoral se estudió el cloruro de dicloroacetilo (CDA) que resultó ser un contaminante secundario ya que el CDA y el fosgeno son sustancias tóxicas que se forman en la atmósfera a partir de la reacción del TCE. El CDA puede llevar a cabo varias reacciones heterogéneas para dar cloroformo. Esto se estudió en el trabajo publicado por Singh et al., donde determinaron la concentración de TCE en la troposfera empleando cromatografía gaseosa en dos sitios específicos de California (Estados Unidos). En los estudios realizados encontraron que la vida media del TCE es de dos días aproximadamente y da lugar a la formación de compuestos tóxicos como fosgeno y CDA que luego genera cloroformo. Se emplearon diversas técnicas experimentales utilizando la espectroscopia IR. Principalmente, se realizaron experiencias en fase gaseosa y en combinación con la técnica de aislamiento en matrices de gases inertes para el estudio de las reacciones fotoquímicas del TCE y del CDA con oxígeno y SO2. En ambas experiencias se empleó la radiación UV-Vis de amplio espectro (200 ≤ λ ≤ 800 nm) y con rangos acotados de energía para el CDA. La técnica experimental de aislamiento en matrices de gases inertes a temperaturas criogénicas implica que una molécula u átomo sea atrapado en un material rígido e inerte. En esta Tesis Doctoral se utilizaron gases inertes, argón y nitrógeno, a temperaturas entre 4 y 15 K como el material rígido que rodea a la especie en estudio.

Neo-monadyzm Gabriela Tarde’a jako model ekonomii politycznej XXI wieku
Authors: Markowska-Marczak Barbara
Published: August 2022

Celem artykułu jest skonstruowanie pewnego eksperymentu myślowego polegającego na zastosowaniu koncepcji neo-monadyzmu Gabriela Tarde’a do przemyślenia podstaw liberalnej oikodycei.  Przez liberalną oikodyceę rozumiem koncepcję ładu społecznego opartą o idee racjonalnej, autonomicznej jednostki (homo oeconomicus) działającej w warunkach wymiany ekonomicznej (Vogl 2015). Zaproponowana przez Tardea rekapitulacja leibnizjańskiej koncepcji monadyzmu w świetle współczesnej mu wiedzy i zastosowanie jej do świata społecznego pozwala na stwierdzenie, że taki model podmiotowości jest niewystarczający do wytłumaczenia wielu - z pozoru nieracjonalnych - zjawisk jak ruchy populistyczne (masowe) czy spekulacje finansowe, charakterystycznych dla ekonomii politycznej XXI wieku.

On the discussion on the comparison of methods for calculating aeration tanks with the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus (for the discussion)
Authors: Эпов А.Н. , Данилович Д.А.
Published: August 2022

Приведены аргументы авторов книги «Расчет и технологическое проектирование процессов и сооружений удаления азота и фосфора из городских сточных вод» на критическую статью О. В. Харькиной в журнале «ВСТ» по поводу предложенной ими методики расчета аэротенков. На основе литературного обзора показано, что расчет аэротенков через возраст ила не является эмпирическим, а базируется на кинетических закономерностях, при этом в рекомендованной авторами области применения требует использования меньшего количества эмпирических коэффициентов и не требует их выбора. Даны объяснения, почему учет концентрации растворенного кислорода и расчет на концентрации азота нитритов ниже 0,05 мг/л нецелесообразно было включать в методику расчетов. Приведены пояснения зависимости кинетических коэффициентов от концентраций в очищенной воде в связи с изменением видового состава нитрификаторов по теории конкурентного исключения видов. Приведена информация об успешном сопоставлении методики авторов с моделированием в программе GPS-X и по работе нового блока Люберецких очистных сооружений (г. Москва), рассчитанного по методике. Работа блока свидетельствует о полной достаточности объема аэробной зоны аэротенков.

The arguments of the authors of the book «Calculation and process engineering of processes and facilities for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from municipal wastewater» are given in response to the critical article by O. V. Khar’kina in the «VST» journal on the method proposed for calculating aeration tanks. Based on the literature review, it is shown that the calculation of aeration tanks in terms of the sludge age is not empirical, however based on the kinetic laws; and, herewith, in the field of application recommended by the authors, the use of a smaller number of empirical coefficients is required eliminating their choice. Explanations are given why accounting for the concentration of dissolved oxygen and calculation for the nitrite nitrogen concentrations less than 0.05 mg/l should not be included in the calculation procedure. Explanations are given for the dependence of kinetic coefficients on the concentrations in the effluent because of the change in the species composition of nitrifiers according to the theory of competitive exclusion of species. Information is provided on the successful comparison of the methods proposed by the authors with the simulation in the GPS-X program and on the operation of a new block of the Liubertsy Wastewater Treatment Facilities, calculated according to the method. The operation of the block testifies to the complete sufficiency of the volume of the aerobic zone of the aeration tanks.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Smoking is a public health problem associated with chronic degenerative diseases. The coexistence of tobacco consumption and anxiety disorders was detected, which represent the most frequent psychiatric illnesses around the world. Objective: Analyze the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and their severity as a consequence of tobacco dependence in young adults from two communities in the State of Mexico. Material and methods: This is a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study. The measurement instrument was a survey consisting of the Fagerström test, the Glover-Nilsson test, and Beck anxiety inventory. Prior informed consent applied to adults aged 18–35 years from the municipalities of Huixquilucan and Atlautla, State of Mexico with a calculated sample of 300 subjects. The analysis was carried out using SPSS Statistics, with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: 50.2% of the population were active smokers and 15.8% showed high suspicion of anxiety disorders independent of smoking. In smokers, 15.1% had scores for an anxiety disorder while more than 60% showed mild anxiety symptoms and 18.9%, moderate anxiety. A high prevalence of moderate dependence on nicotine was found in those smokers whose age of initiation of consumption was 16–19 years and who also had previous failure to abandon consumption. Conclusion: Anxious symptoms were found in 66% of those surveyed. This is relevant since mental illnesses have shown a significant increase, generating long-term problems in the overall health of adults.

Published: August 2022

Polyurethane has been used and over-exploited worldwide in the manufacture of different goods, but it is hard to break down and represents an important contaminant due to its accumulation when discarded. Recent research findings have shown that several bacteria and their enzymes can biodegrade various plastics, such as polyurethane. In this review, we sought to group, analyze, and relate the techniques used by different bacterial species to biodegrade polyurethane that have been identified in different studies by searching databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Different species of proteobacteria, actinobacteria, and endobacteria biodegrade polyurethane by oxidation and hydrolysis to obtain carbon and nitrogen sources. Changes as weight loss, tensile strength, and chemical and surface changes were observed in polymer properties, showing that biological technologies have a direct impact on polyurethane by modifying the molecule in different ways.
Clinical advances in multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment: A review
Authors: Zerecero-Morcksharpe Marquelle , García-Vences Elisa
Published: August 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases are clinical manifestations that depend on the anatomy and function of the affected areas. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are some of these diseases, but they are also autoimmune and their etiology makes treatments limited and of little therapeutic efficacy. Currently, some clinical research advances can be pillars for the development of new treatments for these diseases. Therefore, the objective of this review is to describe the latest clinical advances in ALS and MS as well as their results in clinical recovery in randomized clinical trials, meta-analyzes, and full-text systematic reviews conducted in humans and rats, published in English and Spanish in the last 5 years, using PubMed, SciELO, and Cochrane. For clinical trials to be included, they had to provide a detailed breakdown of randomization methods, diagnostic criteria, intervention details, and efficacy evaluation. The results show that, so far, available medications, like riluzole and edaravone for ALS and fingolimod, dimethyl fumarate, and IFN β-1b for MS, only prolong the life of the patient. Among these drugs are also glutamate neurotransmitter antagonists, immunomodulators and even antioxidants; each of them showed significant improvement in the reviewed trials. Similarly, other non-pharmaceutical treatments, as the 600-mg dose of curcumin in the diet for ALS, showed improvement of the patients’ conditions. Regarding MS, more studies should be carried out on autotransplantation with adiposederived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) to investigate the potential therapeutic benefit of this technique in phases prior to secondary-progressive (SPMS).

Published: August 2022

In this study, an advanced energy harvesting interface called synchronized switch harvesting on inductor (SSHI) has been integrated with a piezoelectric energy harvester on a plate-like structure for multimode energy harvesting purposes. To the best of author’s knowledge, this type of energy harvesting system has not been studied in the literature before. Analytical solution has been developed to predict the power output of the harvester. Besides, experiments have been performed to validate the analytical model predictions and evaluate performance of the circuit. The experimental results showed that the SSHI circuit has three different switching behaviour, namely, no switching, single switching, and multi-switching. Power output of the SSHI circuit has been compared with AC-DC rectifier. It was shown that the SSHI circuit improves the power output of the harvester for the first two vibration modes of structure in the single switching case. The SSHI circuit acts as a rectifier in no switching case. Finally, multi-switching dissipates the available energy of harvester and reduces the output voltage and power of the harvester.  
A Survey of Indoor Localization Systems in Multi-Floor Environments

Published: August 2022

Research in indoor localization has received increasing focus recently due to the various applications location-based services can provide, such as use cases in emergency response, health care, targeted marketing, and assets tracking. Extending indoor localization to multi-floor environments with accurate floor or height estimation helps exploit localization services more fully. However, the literature lacks an up-to-date survey that thoroughly discusses indoor localization in the multi-floor setting. This survey provides an exhaustive review of these systems to provide insights for further research toward better localization systems. We give a detailed description of the different indoor localization technologies such as WiFi, cellular, and various sensors, used with techniques such as fingerprinting and Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR), underlining their use in the 3D context of multi-story environments. Moreover, we review several existing systems, highlighting their approaches' strengths and limitations. The survey's primary focus is systems addressing the localization of users and their devices. We also overview different metrics used in evaluating the systems, such as localization accuracy, deployment cost, scalability, robustness, generalizability, ubiquity, and energy efficiency. Furthermore, we discuss various challenges in localization, highlighting those that arise with multi-floor scenarios and indicating directions for further research.

Communication-efficient ADMM using Quantization-aware Gaussian Process Regression
Authors: Duarte Vera Tudela Aldo , Wei Shuangqing , Nghiem Truong
Published: August 2022

 In networks consisting of agents communicating with a central coordinator and working together to solve a global optimization problem in a distributed manner, the agents are often required to solve private proximal minimization subproblems. Such a setting often requires a decomposition method to solve the global distributed problem, resulting in extensive communication overhead. In networks where communication is expensive, it is crucial to reduce the communication overhead of the distributed optimization scheme. Gaussian processes (GPs) are effective at learning the agents’ local proximal operators, thereby reducing the communication between the agents and the coordinator. We propose combining this learning method with adaptive uniform quantization for a hybrid approach that can achieve further communication reduction. In our approach, the GP algorithm is modified to account for the introduced quantization noise statistics due to data quantization. We further improve our approach by introducing an orthogonalization process to the quantizer’s input to address the inherent correlation of the input components. We also use dithering to ensure uncorrelation between the quantizer’s introduced noise and its input. We propose multiple measures to quantify the trade-off between the communication cost reduction and the optimization solution’s accuracy/optimality. Under such metrics, our proposed algorithms can achieve significant communication reduction for distributed optimization with acceptable accuracy, even at low quantization resolutions. This result is demonstrated by simulations of a distributed sharing problem with quadratic cost functions for the agents.

This paper presents a practical approach for Q/V-band modeling for low Earth orbit satellite channels based on tools from machine learning and statistical modeling. The developed Q/V-band LEO satellite channel model is presented in two folds; (i) a real-time forecasting method using model-based deep learning, intended for real-time operation of satellite terminals, and (ii) a statistical channel simulator that generates the path loss as a time-series random process, intended for system design and research. The provided approach capitalizes on real satellite measurements that are obtained from AlphaSat's Q/V-band transmitter at different geographic latitudes, to model the radio channel. The results show that model-based deep learning forecasting can outperform conventional statistically derived prediction methods for varying rain and elevation angle profiles. Moreover, it can also provide more accuracy in long-term prediction in comparison to current state-of-the-art machine learning approaches for radio channel prediction. Results for the statistical channel simulator is shown to produce synthetic radio excess path loss values for varying satellite passes by capitalizing on empirical statistical models obtained from real measurements.
Three-stage Power Flow & Flexibility Reserve Co-Optimization for Converter Dominated Distribution Network Lookahead Model using Blockchain & S-ADMM — II: Case Study
Authors: Shah Chinmay , Wies Richard
Published: August 2022

In Part I of this work, we presented a three-stage framework for solving stochastic non-convex optimal power flow problems using a parameterized deterministic look-ahead policy and minimizing the cost of scheduling flexibility reserves using blockchain and smart contracts. Here, in Part II, a case study with two balancing authority (BA) areas is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The BA area is modeled by the collection of generation, transmission, and distribution networks. Next, the reserve sharing strategy between two or more BA areas is presented to collectively maintain and supply the flexibility reserves. The reserve sharing will help reduce the total flexibility reserve scheduling costs in the BA areas. And finally, the advantage of updating the flexibility reserve schedule at each time step using a smart contract, by tabulating the flexibility metrics “variation in generation capacity (VIGC)” and uncertainty quantification of epistemic and aleatory uncertainties in variable distributed energy resources (DERs) generation and loads, is also presented.
