Akıllı Şebekelerde Rassal Modelleme ile Enerji Depolama Sistemi Kapasite Hesaplaması
Authors: BAYRAM İslam Safak
Published: February 2019

Dünyada elektrik sektörleri, hızla entegrasyonu
artan yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları ile elektrik üretiminden kaynaklanan
karbon ayak izini azaltmaya yönelik yapılan çevresel ve ekonomik baskılar ile karşı
karşıya gelmektedir. Enerji depolama sistemleri şebeke altyapı güvenliğini arttıran,
şebekeye çalışma esnekliği sağlayan ve çevresel etkileri azaltan çözümler olarak
büyük ilgi görmektedir. Bu nedenle, enerji depolama sistemleri kompleks
elektrik şebeke operasyonlarında anahtar rol oynamaktadır. Bu makalede, tüketicilerin
elektrik talepleri, elektrik şebekesinden çekilen güç ve enerji depolama ünitesinden
oluşan bir sistem için Stokastik bir model sunularak, aralarındaki etkileşimler
incelenmiştir. Enerji depolama sisteminin onlarca meskenden oluşan rezidans,
villalardan oluşan site veya kampüs gibi yerlerde bir grup kullanıcı tarafından
ortaklaşa kullanıldığı varsayılmaktadır. Geliştirilen Stokastik model, iki
boyutlu sürekli zamanlı Markov zinciri tabanlı olup, sistem durumlarının rassal
dağılımları nümerik metotlar ile hesaplanmıştır. Dikkate alınması gereken diğer
bir husus ise, enerji depolama sisteminin yoğun zamanlarda pik talebi azaltmak
için kullanılması ve müşteri talebinin azaldığı dönemlerde ise şebeke gücü
tarafından iskontolu elektrik enerjisi ile doldurulmasıdır. Şebeke güvenliğinin
sağlanması için müşteri talepleri, sınırlı miktardaki şebeke elektriği ve
enerji depolama ünitesi tarafından karşılanmakta ancak bu seviyenin üstündeki
taleplere cevap verilememektedir. Bu nedenle kesinti olasılığı doğal olarak
sistem performans metriği olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Enerji depolama sistem kapasitesi,
değişen kesinti olasılıkları ve sistem parametreleri altında hesaplanmıştır. Sunulan
hesaplamalara göre enerji depolama sistemi optimum kapasitesinin
belirlenmesinde tüketici talep istatistiklerinin büyük önem taşıdığı ortaya
konulmuştur. Son olarak, geliştirilen ekonomik fayda modeli ile, sistem parametreleri
ekonomik değişkenlerle ilişkilendirip, sistem operatörüne finansal dinamikleri
göz önüne en iyi çalışma aralığını seçmesine olanak sağlamaktadır.

Baby's birth weight is influenced by characteristics of pregnant women such as age, parity, education level, pregnancy visit, and gestational age. Classification of the birth weight of a baby is grouped into several groups, namely low birth weight babies, normal baby weight and excess baby weight. The classification method with ordinal logistic regression provides an unstable parameter estimation, which means that if there is a change in the data set causes a significant change in the model. So that to obtain a stable parameter estimation in the ordinal logistic regression model is used aggregating (bagging) bootstrap approach. This study aims to improve the classification of ordinal logistic regression by using bagging on a baby's birth weight. The classification results with bagging ordinal logistic regression were able to reduce classification errors by 20.237% with 76.67% classification accuracy

Ivan Cankar’s National Narrative and Its Role in the Formation of the Slovenian Cultural Identity
Authors: Bodrova Anna G.
Published: February 2019

Ivan Cankar (1876–1918), who occupies an honorable place in the Slovenian cultural canon, once changed the course of development of Slovenian literature and influenced the formation of national identity. The national narrative of Cankar was based on contradictions: living far from his people, he sometimes glorified them and sometimes attacked them with heavy criticism; he correlated his homeland with his mother, the mother though being dead. Cankar’s concentration on the subject of mother and homeland is interpreted here in the framework of psychoanalysis. Following Slavoj Žižek, the author develops the idea that it was the mother who became the Symbolic Order representative or Super-Ego for the writer. The concept of “Cankar’s mother”, which became a symbol of self-sacrifice and at the same time repressiveness in the Slovenian cultural space, is considered.

Published: February 2019

The climatic factors are changing very rapidly in Malaysia. Agriculture which depends heavily on climate is becoming increasingly vulnerable to risk and uncertainty. In order to face and manage the situation, farmers are trying in various ways and government and other external agencies are providing several supports to adapt to these climatic vulnerabilities. However, there is still a gap between farmers’ adaptability and climate change. This study analyses paddy farmers’ perception of climatic variations and vulnerabilities and relevant supports and techniques to adapt to the situation. The data were collected through questionnaire survey on 198 paddy producing farmers in the area of Integrated Agricultural Development Area (IADA), North-West Selangor, Malaysia. This study uses descriptive statistics, ordinal regression, percentile, and scale analysis. The study finds that most farmers do not have a clear perception of the climatic changes and vulnerabilities. Farmers’ adaptation practices to climatic vulnerability are mostly based on their common sense responses. It suggests that farmers need necessary training and support from the government and international agencies to enable them to effectively adapt to the climatic vulnerability and avert any adverse effect on their socioeconomic sustainability and national food security. Farmers’ expectations of several new supports has no statistically significant influences on their current adaptability with climatic changes, but their priority ranking for these expected supports will help policymakers to determine future support for climatic change adaptation for agriculture sustainability and livelihood sustainability under adverse climatic change scenarios, especially for Malaysia.

When Mere Action Versus Inaction Leads to Robust Preference Change
Authors: Chen Zhang , Holland Rob , Quandt Julian , Dijksterhuis Ap , Veling Harm
Published: February 2019

Understanding the formation and modification of preferences is important for explaining human behavior across many domains. Here we examined when and how preferences for food items can be changed by linking mere action versus inaction to these items. In 7 preregistered experiments, participants were trained to consistently respond to certain food items (go items) and not respond to other items (no-go items) in a go/no-go training. Next, to assess preferences, they repeatedly chose between go and no-go items for consumption. Decision time during the choice task was manipulated and measured. Immediately after training, participants chose go items more often for consumption when choosing under time pressure, for both high-value and low-value choice pairs. Preferences were reliably changed in favor of go items for choices between unhealthy foods, between healthy foods, and between healthy and unhealthy foods. Furthermore, preference change was still observed one week after training, although the effect size largely decreased. Interestingly, when participants made choices without time pressure, the effect became weaker and statistically non-significant. These results suggest that preference change induced by mere responding versus not responding is constrained to situations where people take little time to make decisions, and the effect is relatively short-lived. By showing the reliability, generalizability and boundary conditions of the effect, these findings advance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of go/no-go training, provide more insights into how the training can be effectively applied, and raise new theoretical questions on how mere action versus inaction impacts preferences.

Lahirnya Undang-Undang No. 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen merupakan angin segar bagi konsumen untuk mempertahankan haknya apabila dirugikan oleh pelaku usaha. Konsumen dapat melakukan gugatan melalui peradilan umum atau pada Badan Penyelesaian Sengketa Konsumen untuk menyelesaikan sengketa konsumen, baik dengan secara konsiliasi, mediasi, ataupun arbitrase. Studi ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif yang ditunjang oleh data empiris. Sebagai bahan analisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan konseptual dan pendekatan statuta. Dalam pembahasan dipergunakan teori legal sistem dari Friedman dan teori penegakan hukum dari Soerjono Soekanto. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa baru dibentuk 27 BPSK yang berkedudukan di kabupaten dan kota di seluruh Indonesia, dengan demikian usaha perlindungan konsumen belum sesuai dengan yang diharapkan karena belum semua di kabupaten atau kota di tempat tinggal konsumen dibentuk BPSK sehingga apabila konsumen mau menggugat harus ke BPSK terdekat di luar tempat tinggal konsumen.

Climate change has mixed impacts on agriculture and the impacts are different in terms of areas, periods and crops. The changing factors of climate have been exerting strong negative impacts on Malaysian agriculture, which is apprehended to result in shortages of water and other resources for long term, worsening soil condition, disease and pest outbreaks on crops and livestock, sea-level rise, and so on. Due to climate change, agricultural productivity and profitability is declining. Despite continuous increases of government subsidy, area of paddy plantation is decreasing and the adaption practices are ineffective. As climate change is universal and its existence is indefinite, the farmers need to adapt to and find ways to mitigate the damages of climatic variation in order to sustain agricultural productivity and attain food security for the

Challenge of community based fish culture Program in Bangladesh: Case study on floodplain Beel mail in Rajshah
Authors: Hossain Istiaque , Alam Md. Mahmudul , Siwar Chamhuri
Published: February 2019

Bangladesh is one of the largest and richest floodplain lands in the world. There are 3 million hectares of medium and deep flooded areas. In the dry season these land are used for rice production, but these lands remain unutilized or underutilized for a long period because of flooding. Recently, rice and fish culture is practiced in dry and flooding season under community based fisheries management (CBFM) in Kalmina Beel, Fulbaria, Mymensingh and Angrar Beel, Pirganj, Rangpur areas as case studies. Assessment of the challenges and problems of these beels will help to implement it in other floodplain areas of Bangladesh that will help utilize land and waterbodies with a good source of food, employment and better income source for poor people. To understand the challenges of implementation of CBFM, this study was conducted on Beel Mail at Rajshahi in Bangladesh as a case study. This study conducted focus group discussion among the CBFM stakeholders. It was revealed that lack of skills, education, technological knowledge, and conflict among the stakeholders are the main internal constraints. Lack of coordination among the government agencies, improper facilities for marketing, infrastructure, and financial services, and environmental externalities were identified as major external constraints of successful implementation of CBFM. Some policy recommendations for the successful implementation of the CBFM have been formulated

Financial Development and Energy Consumption Nexus in Malaysia: A Multivariate Time Series Analysis
Authors: Islam Faridul , Shahbaz Muhammad , Ahmed Ashraf U. , Alam Md. Mahmudul
Published: February 2019

Despite a bourgeoning literature on the existence of a long-run relationship between energy consumption and economic growth, the findings have failed to establish clearly the direction of causation. A growing economy needs more energy, which is exacerbated by growing population. Evidence suggests that financial development can reduce overall energy consumption by achieving energy efficiency. Economic growth and energy consumption in Malaysia have been rising in tandem over the past several years. The three public policy objectives of Malaysia are: economic progress, population growth and financial development. It is of interest to the policymakers to understand the dynamic interrelation among the stated objectives. The paper implements Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration to examine the existence of a long-run relationship among the series: energy consumption, population, aggregate production, and financial development for Malaysia; and tests for Granger causality within the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results suggest that energy consumption is influenced by economic growth and financial development, both in the short and the long-run, but the population-energy relation holds only in the long run. The findings have important policy implications for balancing economic growth vis-à-vis energy consumption for Malaysia, as well as other emerging nations.

Published: February 2019

Context: Water productivity is considered as an important indicator of Agriculture productivity because of the scarcity of freshwater. More yield or output against same or less amount of water has become the global interest. Objectives: This study measures the productivity of water on the floodplain land in terms of Boro rice cultivation for two floodplain beels in Rajshahi Bangladesh. Materials & Methods: For this study, the production and market price data were collected by direct observation based on 30 samples in the year 2006-07. Results: This study found gross water productivity of rice yield as 0.47 kg m-3 in beel Mail and 0.43 kg m-3 in beel Chandpur. In monetary value, water productivity per cubic meter irrigation water were TK 5.65, TK 3.42 and TK 2.64 based on gross return, net return considering cash costs and net return considering full costs in beel Mail. In beel Chandpur these values were TK 5.19 m-3, TK 2.87 m-3 and TK 2.14 m-3, respectively. The usage of average irrigated water in the boro rice farms were estimated 10730.05 m-3 and 11236 m-3 with an average production of yield 4992.95 kg and 4783.20 kg in beel Mail and beel Chandpur. Statistical result shows that keeping irrigation water constant, a 1% increase of boro rice yield will increase water productivity at 0.916% in beel Mail and 0.972% in beel Chandpur. The water productivity in beel Mail was 4.65% higher than beel Chandpur due to the intervention of community based fish culture management. Conclusion: The findings of this study will help to govern and improve production by proper utilizing floodplain lands

The study measures the relationship between physicochemical variables with the cell density of phytoplankton in different stages of pond – nursery ponds, grow out ponds and brood stock ponds. The study was conducted on nine fish ponds as three from each category of pond at Natore Government Fish Farm in Bangladesh, during the months of January to June in 2012. The observed physicochemical variables– water temperature, transparency, dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia-nitrogen, total alkalinity and total hardness – were found within the standard ranges. Four groups of phytoplankton– Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae– werefound among the ponds where Euglenophyceae was recorded highest number almost in all ponds over the study period. Total abundance of different groups of phytoplankton was recorded as mean (±SD) cell density (cell/l) 62.77±2.16×104, 47.22±0.69×104, and 77.12±3.42×104 in nursery pond, grow out pond and brood stock pond, respectively. Overall phytoplankton was found better in brood stock pond than others. Total phytoplankton density has been exhibited significantly positive correlation with DO and inverse relation with water temperature, pH, ammonia-nitrogen and total alkalinity in case of nursery pond. In case of grow out pond, total phytoplankton density has been exhibited significantly positive correlation with temperature and transparency, and significantly negative correlation with others physicochemical characteristics. In case of brood stock pond, total phytoplankton density has no significant relationship with any physicochemical variables of water.
