Towards the Use of AI, Internet of Things, and Knowledge Representation for Smart Grid Management, Failure Prediction, and Load Balancing
Authors: Khaled Halimi
Published: January 2025

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and semantic web technologies is transforming smart grid management, enabling real-time monitoring and predictive analytics for efficient energy distribution. This paper proposes a comprehensive AI-based Semantic IoT Smart Grid System that addresses the growing challenges of unpredictable energy demand driven by external factors such as extreme weather conditions, large-scale social events, and economic fluctuations. The system utilizes a network of IoT sensors to collect real-time data on energy consumption, grid performance, and environmental factors. This data is then enriched and integrated using semantic web technologies, including ontologies and Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) rules. The system employs a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network to accurately forecast energy demand by analyzing historical and real-time data, incorporating external factors such as weather patterns, social events, and economic conditions. The integration of SWRL rules enables automated decision-making and grid optimization. The rules are designed to detect potential risks, such as transformer overloads, and trigger automatic actions to redistribute energy loads across the grid, preventing overloads and optimizing energy distribution. The system's scalable and flexible architecture ensures that it can handle large datasets and rapidly changing grid conditions, adapting to unexpected demand surges or sudden shifts in weather patterns. By combining IoT, semantic web technologies, and machine learning, the system enables energy companies to maintain grid stability, optimize energy distribution, and proactively prevent overloads, ensuring reliable and efficient energy delivery.

Authors: Wolbers Heather , Cubitt Timothy , Cahill Michael
Published: January 2025

This study examined the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and child sexual abuse (CSA), employing a rapid evidence assessment of research on the uses of AI for the prevention and disruption of CSA, and the ways in which AI is used in CSA offending. Research from January 2010 to March 2024 was reviewed, identifying 33 empirical studies. All studies that met inclusion criteria examined AI for CSA prevention and disruption—specifically, how technology can be used to detect or investigate child sexual abuse material or child sexual offenders. There were no studies examining the uses of AI in CSA offending. This paper describes the state of current research at the intersection of AI and CSA, and provides a gap map to guide future research.

Authors: Rosi Fabiana , Caruana Sandro , Cicillini Stefania , Polli Chiara
Published: January 2025

English-Medium Instruction (EMI) has gained prominence in higher education as a strategy to foster internationalisation, enhance institutional reputation, and improve students’ global professional prospects and competencies. However, its implementation is complex and poses several challenges in terms of educational practices, communication, and interaction. This Special Issue explores the multifaceted nature of EMI through different case studies, primarily in Italian Universities, and is supplemented by comparative analyses from other countries. The contributions examine lecturers’ and students’ perspectives by focusing on linguistic, attitudinal, and educational aspects. Key themes include the impact of professional training for lecturers, strategies to enhance teacher-student interaction, and the role of microteaching in improving EMI educational practices. Findings reveal the need for innovative teaching approaches, interactive methodologies, and greater support for students’ language and critical thinking skills. The studies included in this Special Issue highlight varied insights, experiences, and needs, including the difficulties related to lecturers’ language proficiency, and the influence of cultural contexts on classroom interaction. Case-study-based research and comparative studies shed light on differences in student perceptions of EMI, transcultural interactions, and the role of linguistic backgrounds. This Special Issue underscores the importance of addressing institutional and educational gaps to ensure the effectiveness of EMI. By fostering collaboration between policymakers, educators, and researchers, the studies aim to refine EMI practices while acknowledging the constraints of Englishization on linguistic diversity. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the potential challenges and limitations of EMI by offering practical insights for improving internationalised education in diverse university contexts.
Ultrasonographic evaluation of the thorax in dogs with tick paralysis
Authors: Gülersoy Erdem , Balıkçı Canberk , Günal İsmail , Şahan Adem , Kısmet Esma
Published: January 2025

Tick paralysis is a rapidly progressing motor paralysis caused by a neurotoxin in the saliva of certain tick species. Delayed diagnosis can lead to increased mortality due to respiratory failure. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe thoracic ultrasonography lesions in dogs with tick paralysis and to identify potential patterns that could aid in diagnosis and prognosis prediction. The animal material consisted of 58 dogs in total, 10 of which were healthy and 48 of which were suspected to be affected by tick paralysis. Clinical, laboratory and thoracic ultrasonographic examinations were performed. Expiratory dyspnea with sinus tachycardia; fine crackles, polyphonic wheezing, and pleural rub on lung auscultation were observed in the tick–paralyzed dogs. The most common abnormal thoracic ultrasonography patterns were, in order of prevalence: B–lines > 3, wet lung, pulmonary nodule, confluent B–lines, loss of A–lines, consolidation, fibrosis, and isolated B–lines. In addition, the pleural thickness of the tick–paralyzed dogs was higher than that of the healthy ones. Among these findings, B–lines > 3 were interpreted as indicative of possible pulmonary parenchymal damage, while the loss of A–lines was attributed to decreased aeration. The presence of pulmonary nodule and fibrosis might be due to bronchopneumonia and aspiration pneumonia due to regurgitation. The wet lung pattern was associated with a predisposition to lung congestion. It was concluded that recognizing thoracic ultrasonography findings may assist in identifying the presence and grading the extent of lung damage, as well as determining the necessity of lung decongestion treatment in tick paralysis cases.

Published: January 2025

Consumers have been the target of studies since they constitute the focal point of production chains. The objective of this study was to analyze the opinions of a given population and the consumers’ perception regarding industrialized and commercialized buffalo meat in the metropolitan region of Recife, in the state of Pernambuco, located in the Northeast region of Brazil. A questionnaire was applied in August and September 2022, and the technique used for the research was the survey. The research filter was the affirmative answer to the question about the purchase and consumption of buffalo meat products. The test was applied electronically, structured in closed, open, and dichotomous questions, to obtain qualitative and quantitative data from 178 consumers of buffalo meat. The questionnaire addressed the following aspects: age, sex, family income, the most consumed meat cut, the main aspects observed in fresh and ready-to-eat buffalo meat and the determinants in the choice, degree of satisfaction with the product, prior knowledge of buffalo meat and the degree of satisfaction with the consumption of hamburgers and sausages. Data were tabulated and subjected to descriptive statistical analysis using the Excel 2013 Office version program. The proportion of male and female consumers was 48.0% and 52.0%, respectively. The average age observed was 37 years. The evaluated consumers have an average family income of more than US$ 550,00. The most consumed meat cuts are those considered “day-to-day”, emphasizing the topside, knuckle, eye round, flat, minced meat, and sun-dried meat, making up 67.8% of the choices. Consumers reported choosing meat primarily considering cost accessibility, product quality, and sensory characteristics, high-lighting flavor and tenderness. The degree of satisfaction was between satisfied and very satisfied for 92.0% of the assessed consumers. 81.0% of consumers said they had never consumed buffalo meat or meat products. The buffalo meat burger was rated good by 35.0% of consumers and very good by 62.0%. It is observed that the commercial availability of buffalo meat is a determining factor for consumption since the degree of rejection of buffalo meat products is minimal.

Equitable food value chains through collaborative action [in an inequitable landscape]: Insights from Buffalo, New York
Authors: Lipman Micaela , Griffin Domonique , Woyciesjes Erik , Hall Gabriella , Raja Samina
Published: January 2025

There is growing scholarly and practitioner interest in applying collective and place-based efforts to create equitable food systems. Drawing on com­munity coalition action theory (CCAT), this paper explores the potential for enhancing food equity through collaborative action across the food value chain. Through a case study of a collaborative initi­ative to promote equitable food systems, this paper documents the possibilities and pitfalls of collabo­rative, cohort-based efforts within the inequitable landscape of Buffalo, New York (NY). The paper relies on mixed-methods data that include key informant interviews, participant observations, and surveys of organizations that participated in the Buffalo Community Food System Grant program. Corroborating prior research, we find that initia­tives that seek to foster collective action offer unique possibilities for food equity, as well as some key limitations, especially within the context of a racialized food environment. Strengthening food systems by investing in relationships across food value chains opens new avenues for collec­tive action. To promote food equity, new forms of collective action, including functional relationships across the value chain, must address deeper struc­tural imbalances in the food system, such as those resulting from structural racism.

Incorporating “Security” in Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): Insights from Food Security and Climate Change
Authors: YILMAZ Ayfer Genç YILMAZ , SEDEFOĞLU Gülşah
Published: January 2025

After drawing a theoretical framework based on a reciprocal approach for understanding the relationship between security and development, the paper suggests a causal diagram in which all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) occur as an interdependent whole and security is embedded as “Goal 0” to symbolise the link from security to development or vice versa. The diagram unveils the interaction between development and human and state dimensions of security, arguing that the definition of security cannotbe limited to nonviolence or peace. Instead, the diagram emphasises that security, akin to development, is a multidimensional concept. The paper thus brings a comprehensive approach to security, emphasising the interdependence between human and state security, and highlighting how both perspectives contribute to development. By incorporating security in SDGs and making it more visible, the paper aims to bring a solution-oriented perspective to the policy-making process. Finally, the paper discusses the nexus between development and security through the analysis of two cases within SDGs: climate change and food security.The paper concludes that incorporating security in SDGs can provide a basis for implementing effective policies in the transition from sustainable development to sustainable security and successfully putting forward the 2030 agenda for the SDGs
New data on the practice of desertions from the Red (Soviet) Army as an expression of the anti-Soviet resistance of the Moldavian SSR population in the years 1944-1954
Authors: LEȘCU Anatolie
Published: January 2025

The history of the eastern part of what used to be Moldova, or the eastern area of Romanian territory located in the Pruto-Nistrean interfluve, which later became known as Bessarabia, is a tragic and turbulent one. In the last 200 years alone, this territory has undergone three occupations and annexations, all carried out by the Russian state in different forms: 1812, 1940, and 1944. The Sovietization of Moldova after the subsequent occupation of Bessarabia in the summer of 1944 proceeded with great difficulties, as the artificially created population of the Moldavian SSR resisted Soviet authorities in various ways. One of the forms of resistance was desertion from the Soviet Army. Desertion, a phenomenon characteristic of all armies worldwide, is a criminal offence that involves evading military service through various methods, such as fleeing from a unit or avoiding enlistment altogether. Under the conditions of forced Sovietization in the SSR between 1944 and 1953, this practice took on distinctly anti-Soviet characteristics, becoming a part of the population’s struggle against the occupiers.
Impact of new fire support capabilities from a joint functions perspective
Authors: MIREA Adrian
Published: January 2025

The article highlights the usefulness of the operational framework described by the joint functions to understand the impact that an available capability has on the operation from an actional point of view. At the same time, this framework can also be exploited for the purpose of identifying a need for capabilities at the level of the current joint force in order to be able to accomplish the assigned missions. In order to argue the above, I have focused on a fire support capability that has recently become part of the nationalarmed forces structures - the M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System). If in the first part of the article I briefly detailed aspects of the operational framework described by the joint functions, in the second part I presented a reasoned perspective on the impact that the capabilities of HIMARS systems have on the way of conceptualizing operations. The article aims to argue, through a concrete example, the possibility of using the operational framework described by the joint functions to understand the fullpotential of an existing or prospective capability for national armed forces structures.
The Complexity of the Transition in Combat Operations and Potential Solutions to Streamline the Process
Authors: NISTORESCU Claudiu Valer
Published: January 2025

The contemporary armed conflicts that have recently taken place in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, and Nagorno-Karabakh serve to illustrate the inherent difficulties associated with combat operations. Despite the high degree of transparency on the battlefield, the nature of the conflict, characterized by friction, uncertainty, violence, and high lethality, underscores the pivotal role of the human factor. The operational process remains primarily driven by human decision-making, with the constant planning, preparation, execution, and evaluation of military operations shaped by the human decision-making process.In this context, the transition during combat operations is identified as one of the most challenging processes, particularly when unanticipated. The lessons learned from past conflicts indicate that the inherent risks associated with a period of change, the mental pressure, and the increased possibility of experiencing a decisive defeat have a multidimensional impact on both the decision-making process and the execution of the operation. In light of the sensitivity of the transition in combat operations, the analysis seeks to identify the principal vulnerabilities and risks inherent to the process, the triggers and indicators that signal its necessity, as well as a series of solutions to enhance its efficiency. The scientific approach is qualitative and empirically oriented, with a focuson examining the impact of new technologies and weapon systems on the conduct of combat operations.
Personality profile of high-performing leaders: a BFI-2 analysis
Authors: PANAIT Cristian
Published: January 2025

The present study employs a Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) analysis to investigate the personality traits of a group of high-performing leaders operating within a military context. The Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2),T-score analysis, and Variance analysis (ANOVA) were utilized to identify the personality configurations contributing to effective leadership in military environments. The findings indicate that “Emotional Stability” and “Conscientiousness” are the most salient traits, with high scores for “Productivity,” “Responsibility,”and low “Emotional Volatility.” These traits, essential for goal-oriented behaviour and resilience under stressful conditions, are in accordance with previous research, linking these traits to job performance and stress management in leadership roles. A moderate level of Extraversion and Agreeableness is beneficial for maintaining normal team dynamics and fostering trust. Similarly, a balanced level of Openness to Experiences is associated with strategic adaptability without compromising discipline and performance.The study validates the utility of the BFI-2 in identifying personality traits that are predictive of success in exercising leadership in high-stress environments; it also highlights the distinction between leaders and the mean of the general population on these traits. The results indicate that the enhancement of these traits may result in increased leadership effectiveness, thus providing insights for the improvement of human resources selection and training programs.
Risks, threats, and vulnerabilities related to social media platforms and search engines. Regulations and national legal frameworks
Authors: MAFTEI Dănuţ , DUICĂ Lorin Nicolae BOGDAN
Published: January 2025

Online social media platforms and search engines are used more and more by violent people, criminal offenders, cybercriminals, and other state or non-state malicious actors, who are involved in activities connected to hybrid threats and foreign interference, causing challenges for children, girls, women, citizens, societies, economies, critical services, democracy, and homeland security.Social media platforms and search engines could do more to address these issues so as to ensure a free, open, safe, secure, and reliable internet for everybody and to maximize its positive effects. Neglecting the proliferation of illegal activities not only erodes trust in online platforms but also places at risk the security and privacy of its users. To counter efficiently all the challenges, urgent new regulatory frameworks are needed. The regulations should be applied to social media platforms, search engines, and services that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other.

Published: January 2025

The transmission of oceanographic data and the existence of impurities in Submerged Wireless Sensor Networks (SWSN) have been the subject of a significant amount of research in recent years. Maintaining link stability, latency in establishing connections, data loss in real-time broadcasts, and limited transmission ranges are some of the difficulties these networks face. Several routing solutions have been proposed to address these issues, but none of them have been able to provide effective transmission. Supported by both simulation and experimental results, this research presents a framework for an all-inclusive data-collecting system. Our system uses intelligent cluster sensor nodes to successfully relay temperature, pH, and turbidity data in the Indus River; turbidity values range from 6.5 to 31 NTU. Our suggested approach considerably enhances data transmission performance in submerged wireless sensor networks, according to the experimental results. When combined with Zigbee technology, a Modified Pseudo Orthogonal M-Sequence Data Acquisition System can greatly improve the performance of Routing Protocols in Submerged Wireless Sensor Networks.

Environmental impact of seawater desalination plant: industrial noise calculation and simulation
Authors: Bouamri Mohammed , Berrabah Mourad
Published: January 2025

Algeria has an expanding in seawater desalination plants. These plants have an environmental impact on humans and their environment. Among these impacts, we mention the noise pollution emitted by many noisy elements such as feed pumps (seawater intake pump), high pressure (HP) pumps, energy recovery devices (ERD), ERD feed booster pump (booster pumps), compressors and expedition pumps. The aim of this paper is to model and to simulate the noise effect in the case of one of the most important seawater desalination plants (200 000 m3/d) using reverse osmosis as a seawater desalination process which is the Beni Saf Water Company (BWC), Algeria. Noise modelling was undertaken using Code_Tympan noise modelling software to predict the effects of industrial noise generated by the Beni Saf seawater desalination plant. Noise mapping is used in our case to study the effect of noise, delineated the outline of these effects, which takes into account the topology of the industrial buildings, machines, information on meteorological conditions, dimensions, etc.
