Szociális szempontok alkalmazása a romákhoz köthető közbeszerzésekben
Authors: Héder Ákos
Published: December 2024

A hatályos közbeszerzési szabályozás számos lehetőséget biztosít arra, hogy az
ajánlatkérők a közbeszerzési eljárások szinte valamennyi lényeges elemében
figyelembe vegyenek szociális szempontokat, amelyek alkalmasak lehetnek
egyes társadalmi célok – mint például a tisztességes munkához jutás, vagy
épp a társadalmi integráció – előmozdítására, elősegítésére is. A roma nemzetiséggel kapcsolatos foglalkoztatási, illetve egyéb vagyoni helyzetre vonatkozó statisztikai adatokat figyelembe véve okkal merülhet fel a kérdés, hogy
a romákhoz köthető közbeszerzési eljárások vonatkozásában megvalósult-e
a társadalmi szempontból felelős közbeszerzés, azaz alkalmazásra kerültek-e
a közbeszerzésekről szóló 2015. évi CXLIII. törvény által biztosított szociális
szempontok. A különféle roma nemzetiségi önkormányzatok, illetve egyéb
ajánlatkérők közbeszerzési eljárásait megvizsgálva kijelenthető, hogy kifejezetten a romákhoz köthető közbeszerzésekben a Kbt. által biztosított szociális
szempontú jogintézmények elvétve kerültek alkalmazásra, ami a – társadalmi
különbségek enyhítését biztosító – lehetőségekhez mérten, illetve az előnyök
ismeretében elszalasztott lehetőség.

Authors: Orsós Zoltán
Published: December 2024

A helyi nemzetiségi önkormányzati rendszer közel 30 éve reprezentálja
jogilag a nemzetiségi kulturális autonómia kereteinek megteremtését. A
nemzetiségek Alaptörvényben rögzített jogainak képviselete kiemelt szerepet tölt be a politikai arénában, számos megoldási javaslattal, azonban
még mindig nincs egy egységes, átfogó intézményi rendszer, amely valódi
lehetőséget biztosítana a roma érdekek képviseletére. Jelen tanulmányban
a nemzetiségi önkormányzatok három évtizedes tapasztalatait értékelem
kifejezetten a roma közösség szempontjából. Bemutatom a jogi szabályozás
kialakulásának történeti hátterét, valamint feltárom a tényleges működés
gyakorlati tapasztalatait. Vizionálni kívánom a 2024-es roma nemzetiségi
önkormányzati választás lehetőségeit, kiemelt figyelmet fordítva az önkormányzatok szerepére a roma nemzetiségek politikai és társadalmi részvételének előmozdításában.
A Hybrid CNN-LSTM Model for Predicting Energy Consumption and Production Across Multiple Energy Sources
Authors: Kaya Mahmut , Utku Anıl , Canbay Yavuz
Published: December 2024

This study utilizes a robust dataset provided by Energy Exchange Istanbul (EXIST), a leading authority in energy data, which contains hourly energy consumption and production data from 01/01/2018 to 31/12/2023 across Turkey. Various machine learning and deep learning methods such as linear regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVR), convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), and the proposed hybrid CNN-LSTM model are applied to predict energy consumption and production more accurately. This study transforms time series data into a regression problem using the sliding window method. The experimental results show that the hybrid CNN-LSTM model outperforms the other models in forecasting total energy consumption and natural gas, hydro dam, lignite, hydro river, wind, and fuel oil production. The CNN-LSTM model achieved the lowest RMSE and MAE values and the highest R² scores. The success of the proposed hybrid approach is due to the combination of CNN's ability to identify local patterns and LSTM's ability to learn long-term dependencies. This study demonstrates the hybrid CNN-LSTM model's effectiveness in accurately forecasting energy consumption and production. It makes an important contribution to more efficient use of energy resources.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: The presented study evaluates the spatial resolution of the Modular J-PET scanner using the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) NU2-2018 standard. The Modular J-PET, constructed with BC-404 plastic scintillators in an axial arrangement and coupled with analogue Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) at both ends, offers a 50 cm axial field of view and a bore diameter of 73.9 cm. The study compares results from GATE simulations with experimental data.Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the spatial resolution of the Modular J-PET scanner, using Time-of-Flight (TOF) and non-TOF image reconstruction, based on NEMA NU2-2018 guidelines.Methods: Spatial resolution was evaluated using a Na-22 point-like source as recommended by NEMA NU2-2018. Both TOF and non-TOF list mode acquisitions were performed, with a comparative analysis of the results from experimental and simulated data.Results: Radial spatial resolution, obtained based on the experimental data when taking into account TOF, is equal to 4.92 0.56 mm, 7.38 0.49 mm, and 6.94 0.38 mm at positions 1 cm, 10 cm, and 20 cm from the detector centre, respectively. The tangential spatial resolution for TOF image reconstruction was determined as 7.38 0.51 mm, 7.37 0.10 mm, and 14.67 0.31 mm at the same positions based on experimental data, while axial spatial resolution was calculated as 30.73 0.52 mm, 30.73 0.64 mm, and 31.96 0.29 mm based on experimental data. Simulated radial spatial resolution for TOF image reconstruction methods was found to be 4.80 0.59 mm, 7.26 0.55 mm, and 6.67 0.42 mm at positions 1 cm, 10 cm, and 20 cm from the detector centre, respectively. The simulated tangential spatial resolution for TOF image reconstruction methods was determined as 7.27 0.47 mm, 7.27 0.59 mm, and 15.1 0.4 mm at the corresponding positions, while the simulated axial spatial resolution was determined as 29.97 0.49 mm, 30.53 0.74 mm, and 31.78 0.11 mm.Conclusions: The Modular J-PET meets NEMA NU2-2018 standards, with TOF mode providing better spatial resolution than non-TOF, validating the system’s high-resolution imaging capabilities.

Published: December 2024

The study aims to analyze the feasibility of implementing a dry weather collection system as a technical solution to the challenges related to sewage collection and treatment in unitary systems in Brazil. The proposal seeks to minimize the impacts on Effluent Treatment Plants and protect water bodies, contributing to the fulfillment of the goals of the legal framework for basic sanitation and the Sustainable Development Goals. The methodology adopted involved a literature review, document analysis and a case study. The data were collected from scientific databases, such as Scielo and Scopus, and from official sources. The information was critically analyzed regarding the technical feasibility of capturing in dry weather, and sizing calculations were performed in Excel spreadsheets to simulate the operation of the system in different scenarios. The proposed model considered parameters such as sewage flow, rainfall intensity and operational capacity of the Effluent Treatment Plants. The results of the study included the development of a conceptual design for the dry weather catchment system, with detailed calculations of pure and combined sewage flow. Specific interception points and sizing were defined, such as collection boxes, pumps and operational configurations based on a set point of 190 mg/L of Chemical Oxygen Demand - COD. The system had the potential to reduce the overload in the Effluent Treatment Plants, ensuring a maximum flow of 5452 m³/day and compliance with the parameters of the Resolution of the National Council for the Environment - CONAMA and environmental standards. The study points out that the dry weather collection system is a viable technical solution to improve the efficiency of biological treatment and reduce environmental impacts from the discharge of untreated sewage. However, it is recommended that future research be carried out to prepare a detailed executive project and evaluate the technical, economic and socio-environmental feasibility of the proposed model.

Authors: Guilherme José Francisco Nunes , Martins Carla Alexandra Ramalho de Sena
Published: December 2024

The aim of this article is to raise awareness of the impact that knowledge of the brain can have on the profitability of the teaching-learning process. As an opinion piece, the aim is to reflect on the reality of schools, which must be based on the paradigm of quality, both quantitative and qualitative; which inherently requires knowledge of the brain, the noble organ of learning at a structural and functional level. The foundations of this process can be found in knowledge from educational psychology, pedagogy and neuroscience. It is also essential for educators to devise strategies that are optimized and compatible with the teaching-learning process. It is recognized that there is a long way to go and a lot of good research needs to be carried out. We also understand the openness to other research paradigms.

Authors: Nginyu Giyoh Gideon , Nganchi Kebuya Nathaniel
Published: December 2024

This study investigated the effect of religious education on human development in Cameroon. The data were analysed quantitatively using regression analysis, specifically employing the Tobit model due to the censored nature of the dependent variable, which had limits on its range. The findings revealed that religious education significantly enhances moral reasoning, civic engagement, and resilience among youth. However, the systemic marginalisation of religious knowledge within formal education limits its potential benefits. These findings highlight the complex interplay between religious education and human development, suggesting both potential benefits and challenges in the Cameroonian context. The study recommends integrating religious education into the school curriculum to foster ethical behavior and community involvement, ultimately contributing to sustainable development in Cameroon.
Different External Interference Directly Leads to Different Endings for Transgenders
Authors: Li Xiang
Published: December 2024

Based on Judith Butler’s gender performativity theory, this paper reveals that the nature of gender is an idealized imitation and expression, which breaks the original binary opposition between heterosexuality and sexual minorities and analyzes the impact of symbolic society’s views of such imitative behavior as an inherent attribute of gender on sexual minorities. The protagonists in Kafka’s Metamorphosis and Alain Berliner’s movie My Life in Pink both reflect the living conditions of transgenders in real society. They face the same dilemma but have completely different endings. Due to the different reactions of the external environment and people around them, the psychological changes and personality shaping of the two transgenders are also totally different, Gregor died tragically, but Ludovic was eventually accepted by society. Therefore, breaking the stereotyped thoughts of gender by combining gender performativity theory, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the influence from external interference on the personality shaping of transgenders in the two genres, calling for a more open and inclusive social environment.
From ‘Consensus Theory of Truth’ to ‘Janus-Faced’ Truth — A Research on Jurgen Habermas’s Theory of Truth
Authors: Zhang Zunpan , Wu Xiaoling
Published: December 2024

It is one of the critical tasks for Jurgen Habermas to figure out the essence of truth. During 1970s, Habermas has established his philosophy framework of ‘universal pragmatics’. Under this framework, Habermas developed his ‘consensus theory of truth’, which explain truth as validity claim that achieve by discourse. But in 1990s, Habermas discarded this comprehend of truth and put forward a theory of ‘Janus-faced’ truth. In his masterpieces during this period, he was committed to hold both the truth of discourse on utterance level and the truth of reality on lifeworld practice level. This is a peculiar viewpoint that differ from both realist like Putnam and pragmatist like Rorty. In other words, it’s an approach between them.
Questioning Techniques and Wait Time in EFL Classrooms:
Authors: Kater Meriem
Published: December 2024

This study scrutinized English language teachers' perceptions and actual practices regarding questioning techniques and wait time. Using a qualitative approach, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews and classroom observations with teachers from the Department of English Language at Algiers 2 University. The interview results revealed that the majority of teachers were aware of the importance of wait time and questioning and they use questions to stimulate students' critical thinking. The classroom observation findings showed the opposite– teachers primarily use low-level questions to check their students' understanding. Additionally, while teachers reported allocating 1-3 minutes of wait time, the observations showed that they rarely reached the recommended 3-5 seconds. Moreover, teachers frequently interrupted wait times by engaging in various verbal habits that might interfere with the beneficial effects of wait time. These findings highlight significant differences between the teachers' perceived and actual practices regarding questioning techniques and wait time. Based on these findings, the study put forward some recommendations for question planning, training teachers on asking higher-level questions, and use of extended wait times commensurate with the complexity of the questions posed.

Authors: D Prakash , Asaf Chand
Published: December 2024

Rice is a dietary staple of more than half of world’s population, and more than 90% of world’s rice is grown and consumed in Asia alone but faces significant threat from insect pests most importantly Brown plant hopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stal, consider to be a major insect pest of rice. This study showcases the correlation between weather parameters and BPH infestation in rice crop grown in two Kharif (rainy) and two Rabi (winter) seasons of 2022 and 2023 in Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India. Non-resistant rice varieties (ADT 43 and ADT 54) were used. BPH population and weather data (maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity, sunshine hours, rainfall, and wind speed) were collected weekly. In all the seasons the BPH population ranged from 0.0 to 8.2 at its peak in our study area. Results showed that BPH populations were higher during kharif seasons compared to rabi seasons. Maximum temperature and sunshine hours exhibited a positive correlation with BPH population, while rainfall and minimum temperature were negatively correlated. By taking into account these weather parameters, farmers can predict and monitor fluctuations in pest populations. This enables them to apply pesticides strategically, only when economically justified, and to implement a range of integrated pest management techniques.

The Frequency Regulation Control Method of Large-Scale Distributed Energy Storage Systems in the Smart Grid
Authors: Sun Yong , Hao Yuchen , Li Xiao , Ding Bo , Li Hao , Guan Jianwei
Published: December 2024

As the penetration rate of renewable energy in new power systems continues to increase, these systems face serious frequency control issues. The limitations of traditional methods for addressing frequency control lie primarily in their reliance on the frequency regulation capability of a single battery energy storage system (BESS). This dependence not only requires a complex communication infrastructure to transmit remote control signals but also is susceptible to communication delays, leading to system instability. This paper proposes a distributed BESS robust frequency control method (load frequency control (LFC)) based on a sparse communication network, aiming to address the limitations of traditional methods in terms of communication infrastructure requirements and the impact of communication delays. Subsequently, a dual-layer model predictive control (MPC) strategy is designed. The first layer uses a nominal model for predictive control, while the second layer considers system uncertainties for auxiliary control to improve the response characteristics of the BESS, thus significantly enhancing LFC performance and achieving more effective frequency regulation. Finally, simulation results show that under different parameter conditions, such as capacity, state of charge (SoC), and time constants, the response capability and frequency regulation effect of the distributed BESS are significantly better than those of traditional methods.

Published: December 2024

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a kind of digital asset that signifies ownership or proof of authenticity of a special good or piece of material, such as artwork, music, films, or tweets. This study investigates how a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) can be used to create distinctive pictures of Cryptopunks that can be converted into NFTs. Cryptopunks, a pioneering form of NFTs, were introduced on the Ethereum blockchain in 2017 as part of a social experiment. In the NFT community, they have since grown in popularity as collectibles. To create brand-new, previously undiscovered characters, we trained a model on a dataset of existing Cryptopunks using the DCGAN architecture. In an effort to raise the calibre of the images produced, we tested various hyper settings and layer combinations. We also assessed the created images using a variety of criteria, such as the inception score and Fréchet inception distance, to make sure they were distinctive and of high calibre. Our experiments yielded a 15 % increase in the inception score and a 20 % decrease in the Fréchet inception distance, showing that our DCGAN model produces images that are more visually appealing and closer in quality to real Cryptopunks. These results highlight the effectiveness of our machine learning algorithms in improving the quality and uniqueness of NFT assets.
Improving the Operation of a Distribution Network by Optimal Siting and Sizing of Photovoltaic-Battery Energy Storage Systems
Authors: Krstic Nikola N. , Tasic Dragan S. , Klimenta Dardan O. , Milovanovic Milos J.
Published: December 2024

This paper proposes an updated two-step approach to improve the operation of a distribution network (DN) through the optimal siting and sizing of one, two, or three systems, each consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) generator and a battery energy storage (BES) unit – the so-called “PV-BES system”. The first step of the approach determines the optimal sites and optimal powers of the PV-BES systems, taking into account the DN load profile and the required improvement in DN operation. Parameters used to describe the quality of the DN operation include the average daily power losses and the voltage profile quality index of the DN. The optimal locations and optimal powers of the PV-BES systems are determined using metaheuristics of the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and wild horse optimisation (WHO) methods considering various daily load profiles. Based on the optimal powers of the first step and the known daily variation of solar irradiation, the second step provides the individual maximum powers of the PV generators and BES units, as well as the storage capacities of the BES units required for the sizing of the PV-BES systems. The iterative method used for the sizing of the PV-BES systems in the second step of the proposed approach can be regarded as a novelty. Finally, all results were obtained using the IEEE 33-bus test radial DN topology, considering different numbers of PV-BES systems connected to the DN, different efficiencies of the BES units, and different priorities in the criterion function.
