Analysis of Distribution Systems in the presence of Electric Vehicles and optimal allocation of DGs considering power loss and VSI
Authors: S Shwetha , RG Sarvesh Babu , K Mithra Vinda Reddy , K Narayanan , Sharma Anurag , Aguila Alexander
Published: March 2023

Electric Vehicles (EV) have the potential to completely transform the
transportation industry, slash carbon emissions significantly, and pave
the road for significant climate progress. According to surveys, worries
regarding range and charging accessibility are a significant barrier to
EV customer adoption. The electricity grid will be significantly
impacted by EV charging. A coordinated charging approach that
facilitates EV charging while avoiding the power grid from overloading
is required to manage EV charging. In this work, the EVs are classified
based on their charging capacity. This classification includes Car,
truck and bus. With this a chargingdischarging scheme has been
established using Real Time Pricing (RTP) for each hour for a 20 min
block. Augmenting this, in the present work the power loss is analyzed
when Distributed Generation (DG) units are installed after the EVs are
located in the system for charging and discharging. The DG units are
installed considering the Voltage Stability Index (VSI) and the power
losses incurred due to the presence of EVs. The Monetary benefit of such
an investment is analyzed for different topologies of IEEE-33 and 69 bus
systems and compared with the existing methods where DGs are installed
before the EVs are located in the system for charging and discharging.
Comparative analysis of codon usage patterns and phylogenetic implications of five mitochondrial genomes of the genus Japanagallia Ishihara, 1955 (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Megophthalminae)
Authors: Li Min , Wang Jiajia , Dai Renhuai , Smagghe Guy , Wang Xianyi , You Siying
Published: March 2023

Japanagallia is a genus of Cicadomorpha in the family of leafhoppers
that are plant piercing-sucking insects, and it is difficult to
distinguish by morphological characteristics. So far, only one complete
mitochondrial genome data has been reported for the genus Japanagallia.
Therefore, in order to better understand this group, we assembled and
annotated the complete mitochondrial genomes of five Japanagallia
species, and analyzed their codon usage patterns. Nucleotide composition
analysis suggested that AT content was higher than GC content, and the
protein-coding sequences preferred to end with A/T at the third codon
position. Relative synonymous CUB analysis revealed most
over-represented codon ends with A or T. Parity plot analysis revealed
the codon usage bias of mitochondrial genes was influenced by both
natural selection and mutation pressure. The neutrality plot showed that
the slopes of regression lines were < 0.5, suggesting that
natural selection was playing a major role while mutation pressure was
of minor importance. The effective number of codons (ENC) revealed the
CUB was low among genes and genomes. Correspondence analysis (COA)
revealed that the codon usage pattern differed among 13 protein-coding
genes. Phylogenetic analyses based on three datasets using two methods
(maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference), restored the
Megophthalminae monophyly with high support values (BS = 100, PP = 1).
In the obtained topology, the seven Japanagallia species were clustered
into a monophyletic group and formed a sister group with Durgade. In
conclusion, our study can provide a reference for the future research on
organism evolution, identification and phylogeny relationships of
Japanagallia species.

Recently Milovanovic et al. [Bulletin T.CLIII de l?Aca?mie serbe des sciences et des arts - 2020.] proved that if P(z) ? Pn with no zeros in |z| < k, k ? 1, then, |P?(z)| ? ?P?/2 [n ? {n(k ? 1/k + 1) + 2/k + 1 (|c0| ? kn|cn|/|c0| + kn|cn|)} |P(z)|2 ?P?2], |z| = 1, where P(z) = c0 + c1z + ... + cnzn ? Pn is a polynomial of degree n. In this paper, we obtain some results concerning the class of polynomials having s?fold zero at origin. These results not only generalizes but also refines many well-known results due to Milovanovic.

Authors: Bostancı Tuğba , Başcanbaz-Tunca Gülen
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we deal with Stancu operators which depend on a non-negative
integer parameter. Firstly, we define Kantorovich extension of the
operators. For functions belonging to the space Lp [0, 1] , 1 ? p < ?, we
obtain convergence in the norm of Lp by the sequence of Stancu-Kantorovich
operators, and we give an estimate for the rate of the convergence via first
order averaged modulus of smoothness. Moreover, for the Stancu operators; we
search variation detracting property and convergence in the space of
functions of bounded variation in the variation seminorm.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the existence and uniqueness of a
solution, and the continuous dependence on the input data of the solution of
integro-differential equations with a positive constant coefficient
involving fractional order derivative (FIDEs). In addition, we also provide
the sufficient conditions for the Hyers-Ulam stability (HU-stability) and
the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability (HUR-stability) of FIDEs. Finally, the
HUR-stability of the well-known model of RLC circuit in the form of FIDEs is

Strongly monotone solutions of systems of nonlinear differential equations with rapidly varying coefficients
Authors: Manojlovic Jelena , Milosevic Jelena
Published: March 2023

The two-dimensional systems of first order nonlinear differential equations
(S1) x? = p(t)y?, y? = q(t)x? and (S2) x? + p(t)y? = 0, y? + q(t)x? = 0 are
analyzed using the theory of rapid variation. This approach allows us to
prove that all strongly increasing solutions of system (S1) (and,
respectively, all strongly decreasing solutions of system (S2) ) are rapidly
varying functions under the assumption that p and q are rapidly varying.
Also, the asymptotic equivalence relations for these solutions are given.
History of Serbian linguistic Russian studies in the opus of Academician Predrag Piper
Authors: Koncarevic Кsenija
Published: March 2023

The paper deals with the work of Academician Predrag Piper (1950-2021) on the
historiography of Slavic science, primarily Serbian linguistic Russian
studies. The works of other Russianists who dealt with this issue are
pointed out, followed by Academician Piper?s contribution to this field in
the domain of creating integral bibliographic descriptions for the time
period from 1945 to 2000, as well as to the field of critical analysis and
evaluation of research preoccupations and results of our Russianists from
Radovan Kosutic till the end of the 20th century, as well as in terms of
revision of previously accepted views on the beginning of teaching Russian
in Serbian schools. It is stated that Academician Piper made an outstanding
contribution to the historiography of Serbian linguistic Russian studies
with the vast range of topics covered, variety of applied methods
(chronological, personal, methodological, organizational approach),
supporting all his arguments and statements with extensive bibliographic
references and the ability to refute some views which had, prior to his
research, been generally accepted in domestic and European Russian studies.
Nominal subject with a verb predicate in the 1st person plural (Russian Odni baby zhivem)
Authors: Norman Boris
Published: March 2023

The grammatical category of person is a powerful shifter tool: it contributes to the organization of a speech act, distributes roles among its participants and regulates their speech behaviour. Means of the category of person are primarily verbal inflections and personal pronouns. At the same time, there are relations of additional distribution between the pronouns of the 1st and 2nd person and substantives: where it is possible to use forms of the 1st and 2nd person, it is impossible to use nouns. This is the fundamental difference between the 1st and 2nd persons, which serve to designate the participants in the speech act, and the 3rd person as a ?minus sign? that serves the purposes of the referential nomination. However, the material of the Slavic languages provides additional facts that require explanation. Professor Predrag Piper drew attention to Slovenian constructions in which a noun in the subject position is combined with a predicate in the form of the 1st person plural of the verb: Slovenci dobro smucamo. Similar constructions can be found in the modern Bulgarian language: ??????? ?? ????????, ?????? ????????? ???, ? ?????? ??????, etc. Rarely are such instances to be found in Russian texts: ???? ???? ?????. As prerequisites and typological background for explaining these phenomena, the article considers the following grammatical features of the Slavic languages: a) personal pronoun ellipsis, b) formation of a special concept of a collective (plural) subject, c) addition of the list of hidden grammatical categories, d) weakening of syntactic links between the constituents of the sentence, e) the breadth of the meaning of the 1st person plural form.
Analyses the Scope of Solar Radiation Transmittance and Physical Properties of Polymethyl Methacrylate/Zinc Oxide Nanocomposite Films
Authors: Gaid Hussein Ali , Al-Kadhemy Mahasin F. Hadi , Abdulmunem Asrar
Published: March 2023

Films of poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA and PMMA doped with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) with different amounts were created using the solution casting technique. Different amounts of zinc oxide ranging from (0.001-0.005) g in step 0.001g were investigated and added to a polymer of constant amount (0.5) g of PMMA in 15ml Tetrahydrofuran (THF). It is known that increasing the amount of ZnONPs in this technique contributes to the appearance of ZnONP peaks within the polymer. The differences in the XRD spectrum show that the nanomaterial changed the microstructure of the polymer. This was discovered using a nanoscale scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM revealed that the PMMA polymer surface exhibit an amorphous nature with a smooth surface. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy demonstrates that there was no chemical reaction between the PMMA polymer and ZnONPs. Spectrophotometric measurements of absorbance and transmittance in the wavelength range 200- 900 nm were used to evaluate the optical characteristics of all films. Increased amounts of ZnONPs improve the absorbance, absorption coefficient, and extinction coefficient of PMMA polymer. With increasing ZNO content, the variance in computed optical energy gap values has been interpreted, the optical energy gap dropped from 4.65 eV to 4.10 eV. The solar radiation intensity in Baghdad for the pure PMMA films and PMMA/ZnO nanocomposites was measured at a rate of 1 hour for seven days in beginning in early September 2021, from 6 A.M to 6 P.M (13 h). As can be observed, almost all films have the same ratio of intensity of transmitted radiation to intensity of sunlight for all hours and days.
Influence of Using Rubrics in Higher Education on Students’ Performance and Academic Motivation
Authors: Barmuta K. A.
Published: March 2023

Introduction. The relevance of the chosen topic is justified by the need for further discussion on the problem of ensuring an objective and transparent assessment of students’ work. It is also necessary to develop and test formative assessment tools that allow students to improve their academic performance and interest in learning. Rubrics are offered as one such tool. They are a matrix of criteria or attributes for evaluating a specific task and compliance levels.

Purpose. The study aimed to determine how the application of rubrics to assess the tasks performed by students affects their academic performance and motivation to study.

Materials and Methods. The methodology of the study is based on a questioning of students and an experiment involving the joint development and further application of rubrics with students to evaluate the completed task on the subject.

Results. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis that rubrics application facilitates an increase in students’ motivation to study and academic performance. In addition, the assessment using rubrics allows students to receive feedback from the teacher in the form of comments on the achievement of compliance levels for the assessment attributes used. The use of rubrics helped to increase the activity of students in the classroom and to show more interest in scientific literature, including in a foreign language.

Discussion and Conclusion. Comparison of the results obtained with existing works in the field of application of rubrics confirms their effectiveness, achieved using understandable assessment criteria. Rubrics seem to be a promising tool for assessing the most significant and complex tasks in the subject since their application facilitates an increase in the interest and satisfaction of students, together with the subsequence and impartiality of the assessment. One of the rubrics’ limitations is some suppression of the students’ pursuit to fulfil their creative potential, which needs to be worked out in further research.

Published: March 2023

This study explores the engagement in open research practices by librarians in Kwara State, Nigeria. It operates with three objectives and questions. It uses descriptive survey method as its design and adopts convenience sampling technique to select 63 librarians who filled the questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on Exploring the Engagement in Open Research by Librarians in Kwara State,” which was sent to respondents through their WhatsApp groups. Findings revealed that respondents used open peer review, publishing research in open access platforms and depositing research in institutional repositories as channels of engaging in open research. It further shows that open research is of benefit to respondents by helping them in the creation of good research profiles, increasing connectivity among researchers and increasing findability and broadening readership of their works, while lack of training on open research, fear of plagiarism and lack of awareness of the open research process are the major factors retarding the engagement in open research by the respondents. This study concludes that open research is one of the mainstays of scientific evolution that enables researchers to increase visibility for their works and recommends amongst others that it is imperative for librarians in Kwara State to be making their research works available in open educational resources, it is one of the states with the highest library schools in Nigeria. Through this, students and other researchers can use their research works to broaden the status of teaching and learning.

Authors: Nya Elijah , Uffia Ifiok , Elijah Godwin , Eka Mathias , Owoh Lucy
Published: March 2023

Talinum triangulare (Jacq.) Willd is extensively cultivated vegetable in the agro-ecological zone of the tropical rainforest. It grows to the height of about 10-100 cm tall, bearing small pink flowers, some with white to light purple flowers and with fleshy light green to forest green leaves with swollen roots. It is one of the commonly preferred leafy vegetables in southern Nigeria and Cameroon, where it is used in thickening of soup and as additive in increasing the bulk of stews. It is now attracting considerable interest worldwide as medicinal plant and spice. Previously, we have carried out the morphological characterization of this plant germplasm, where we reported paucity of information on the genetics and molecular characteristics of the plant. This present study aimed at carrying out molecular characterization of different land races of Talinum triangulare germplasm with a view to describing the genetic information / traits of the available land races. The different land races of Talinum triangulare were collected from different part of Nigeria including Uyo, AkwaIbom State bordering Cameroon republic. The research work was carried out at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture Laboratory, IITA, Ibadan, Nigeria. High quality total DNA was isolated from the different Talinumsamples, quantified and cross examined for purity. The genomic DNA samples were treated to PCR amplification using different primers (ribulosebisphosphatecarboxylase rbcL, trnH-psbA intergenic spacer trn H-psbA, maturase K matK, nuclear internal transcribed spacer ITS) and DNAbarcoding technique. Gel electrophoresis was performed and the fragment of the intact DNAi.e. the amplicons was gel eluted, subjected to sequencing and the Basic local alignment search tool BLAST were carry out to verify the sequence homology. Nevertheless, no difference was detected among the Talinum samples, signifying that the land races were genotypically identical and that the phenotypical differences observed were invariably due to environments.

Published: March 2023

This study aimed to develop instructional material for a woodworking hands-on activity task for middle-school makerspaces to enhance students’ problem-solving abilities. The hands-on activity task and instructional material were developed in a three-stage process: preparation, development, and improvement.
In the preparation stage, educational goals were set based on the 2015 revised curriculum and research reports on school makerspaces. Further, by administering surveys to and conducting interviews with makerspace operators, data on the current status and demand of school makerspaces were collected and analyzed.
In the development stage, six preliminary themes were presented, and the theme that was easily applicable, and was of high interest, to school makerspaces was selected based on expert advisory opinions. The woodworking hands-on activity task selected in this stage is “making a Bluetooth speaker,” which is a theme significantly related to our daily life. Next, based on the analysis in the preparation stage, the educational goals for each stage of the woodworking hands-on activity task were stated, the content of the task that could enhance students’ problem-solving abilities was selected, and the learning goal was stated. Moreover, material such as student activity sheets and presentation material for teachers were developed.
In the improvement stage, the proposed course plan and instructional material were validated by an expert and were accordingly revised. An average score of 4.64 points and a minimum of 4 points were obtained for a questionnaire of a test sheet from the experts. A preliminary test targeting students was conducted to obtain their opinions for improving the hands-on activity task. An average score of 4.86 points and a minimum score of 4.75 points on the questionnaire were obtained. Based on students’ opinions, the woodworking hands-on activity task was modified and supplemented.
The developed woodworking hands-on activity task as well as class material on using the equipment in school makerspaces to cultivate students’ technical problem-solving ability were improved based on validity tests conducted by an expert and preliminary tests targeting student. The findings are expected to be helpful in the operation of school makerspaces and the design of woodworking classes.

Authors: Babkin Alexandr Vasil'evich , Liberman Irina Vladimirovna , Klachek Pavel Mihaylovich , Shkarupeta Elena Vitaievna
Published: March 2023

The internal structure of the ecosystem is isomorphic to the structure of the tetrad - a complex of four stably interacting systems: object, environment, process and project. The system paradigm proposed by G. B. Kleiner (the essence, concept, features and structure of socio-economic ecosystems are studied) makes it possible to identify the features of ecosystems of various types and purposes, to determine the natural system structure of ecosystems, to reveal the essence of the processes of interaction of ecosystem components with each other and with the external environment, to effectively represent functioning and interaction of system components for a wide class of socio-economic ecosystems of Industry 4.0. Currently, Europe and Russia are actively discussing the next mega-stage of the socio-economic development of mankind - the concept of Industry 5.0 and the cyber-social ecosystems corresponding to this concept. The results of the application of G. B. Kleiner’s ecosystem tetrad to describe cyber-social ecosystems as strategic objects of Industry 5.0 are presented. Based on the model of neuro-digital intelligence of the tools of strategic goal-setting and planning of Industry 5.0, a formal model of the system tetrad of cyber-social ecosystems is proposed, which is the development of the ecosystem tetrad of socio-economic systems proposed by G. B. Kleiner. The applied researches and approbation of the developed methods, models and tools, the system tetrad of cybersocial ecosystems were carried out using the example of creating the Starbase cybersocial ecosystem by SpaceX. The experience of development presented in the architecture studies of the system tetrad of the Starbase cybersocial ecosystem can be successfully generalized and applied in a large number of different companies, in various fields of activity: rocket science, mechanical engineering, military-industrial sector, etc. The presented Kleiner-Babkin system tetrad is a universal archetypal model of cyber-social ecosystems Industry 5.0 creating fundamentally new opportunities for research in this area.

Published: March 2023

The article considers the role of investments in the modern economy. A comparative analysis of the models of financing investment projects of joint-stock companies is carried out: equity financing; debt financing; mixed financing. The main parameter of the effectiveness of the investment project, which is the net present value of the cash flow of shareholders who purchased additionally issued shares, has been analyzed. The effectiveness of financing from borrowed funds is calculated, as well as the calculation of mixed financing. The optimal scheme of financing the investment project was determined by selecting the ratio of the share of borrowed and own funds, taking into account the financial capabilities of the economic entity, the interest rate on the loan and the rate of return on equity. The advantages and disadvantages of each model are noted. The indicators of net present value of different financing schemes are given. The model of mixed financing is considered the most effective, it is implemented through the involvement of both legal entities and individuals in the investment project, and, in some cases, of the state. It is emphasized that the reasonable attraction of financing sources and their rational use, developing an effective capital structure contribute not only to the development of the organization's activities, but also increase its competitiveness and investment attractiveness. Conclusions are drawn about possible implementing the model of public-private partnership. Graphs of indicators of the net present value of shareholders and enterprises in different models of financing investment projects of joint-stock companies are presented.

Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the study of approaches to the concept of investment attractiveness of an enterprise used in Russian practice. Special attention is paid to the study of tools and methods for assessing the investment attractiveness of an enterprise in modern conditions. The relevance of the topic of the article lies in the fact that not all enterprises pay due attention to the investment climate, which leads to a decline in the efficiency of operational, investment and financial activities. Investment attractiveness is the main criterion that can attract investors, and as a result, increase the company’s profit.

The subject of the research in the article are methods and techniques for assessing the investment attractiveness of economic entities. The research results consist in the development of proposals to increase the investment attractiveness of enterprises on the basis of indicators characterizing the financial condition of the enterprise in conjunction with the probability of bankruptcy of the Altman model and accounting for the external environment of the enterprise.

Hasil dari CNN menunjukkan bahwa dari total epoch yang dibangun didapatkan nilai akurasi pada epoch ke-10 bernilai 80%, validasi akurasi bernilai 100%, nilai error akurasi dengan nilai loss 0.2638%, dan validation loss sebesar 0.0477%. Tingginya hasil validasi akurasi dan rendahnya error akurasi, serta rendahnya validation loss disebabkan karena data citra yang dijadikan data uji bersifat tipe motif memiliki ciri yang khas. Berbeda dengan data citra tumbuhan dan makhluk hidup lainnya yang memiliki tipe yang beragam. Pembangunan website sebagai user interface telah berjalan dengan baik. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan keberhasilan prediksi tacit knowledge untuk setiap citra yang dijadikan sebagai data uji.
Measuring usage versus preferences for online study materials among business-majored undergraduates
Authors: Le Hoa Phuong , Elen Jan , Cosemans Anneleen
Published: March 2023

As online learning becomes a recurrent component of higher education, there have been growing interests in the interaction between students and educational resources within digital environments so as to understand and facilitate students’ initiative in managing those resources. The present study is an explorative inquiry into the relationships between students’ self-reported preferences of study materials, their actual usage of those materials and their learning performances in online learning. It focuses on analysing the learning management system’s log files, test results and students’ responses to an evaluative survey of a bachelor business course at a large Belgian university, which was a blended course turned fully online due to the pandemic circumstance. The first research question concerns how preferences relate to the usage of materials. A cluster analysis was conducted to classify students based on their perceived interest and actual access to learning resources. The results show three clusters of students with different preferences and levels of usage towards the four types of study materials provided in the course. However, the majority showed strong favour for multimedia online learning, with Web lectures being prioritised both in perception and access behaviour, while discussion boards receive mixed opinions and the lowest actual participation. The second question follows these up by linking the preference–usage patterns with academic performances. A multivariate analysis of variance was conducted to compare the learning performances of students with different preference–usage patterns. The results show no significant differences, which means the students’ preferences and/or usage of study materials has little to no impact on their learning performances in the online course.
A comparative study of morphological characteristics in diploid and tetraploid (auto and allotetraploids) Citrullus genotypes
Authors: Aydin Alim , Yetişir Halit
Published: March 2023

In this study, ploidy levels were determined by stomatal observations and flow cytometry analysis of plants polyploidised by the application of 0.05% colchicine to seedlings at the first true leaf stage. In the study of developing polyploid watermelon rootstocks, the survival rate of the plants was 77%, and the polyploidisation rates were 11% and 3% according to stomatal observations and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. According to the results of flow cytometry, 22 polyploid genotypes were determined. Auto- (12) and allotetraploids (10) of Citrullus genotypes were developed, and their plant growth performance was determined in hydroponic culture in comparison with diploids, commercial rootstocks (RS841, ‘Argentario’) and watermelon cultivar (‘Crimson Tide’). Putative tetraploids and their diploid controls were grown in hydroponic culture for 21 days, and their vegetative growth performances were determined. The results showed that the increases in plant biomass depending on polyploidisation were 100% in autotetraploids and 156% in allotetraploids as compared to diploid controls.

Exploiting  natural resources must be based on an environmental approach. This is reasonable because environmental problems are closely related to the process of population growth,  which is the high demand for natural resources. One of the most widely used natural resources by humans for various purposes is coal. The negative impact of coal mining is that it triggers deforestation (deforestation) and exacerbates climate change. Therefore, in the exploration and exploitation management process, every mining material, especially coal, requires various AMDAL mechanisms as part of environmentally sound development management. Provisions regarding mineral and coal mining activities oblige mining companies to carry out reclamation and post-mining activities over the mining areas they manage. The scope of the implementation of reclamation activities starts from exploration, land clearing, excavation of topsoil and over burden, coal excavation, land management, revegetation including preparation of nurseries, and maintenance and evaluation of activity results. The implementation of reclamation is carried out no later than one month after there are no more mining business activities on disturbed land. Reclamation and post-mining activities are one of the obligations of mining business activities that should be taken into account.
THE EXISTENCE OF THE ELECTION SUPERVISORY AGENCY POST 2024 BASED ON POSITIVE LAW
Authors: Murjani Murjani , Sagama Suwardi
Published: March 2023

Bawaslu was formed to oversee elections and elections to run in a direct, free, confidential, honest, and fair manner. Bawaslu's authority is only to supervise in stages. In 2024, elections and elections will be held simultaneously. The stages will start again before the elections and elections in 2029. Researchers are interested in knowing the existence of Bawaslu post-election and elections in 2024. The research uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach. Based on Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections, Bawaslu only has supervisory authority at the election and election stages for 20 months. Bawaslu oversees the stages set by the KPU based on the PKPU. After the general election and simultaneous elections in 2024, Bawaslu does not have supervisory authority until it enters the stages for implementation in 2029. The existence of Bawaslu without any supervisory activities can return to being an ad hoc body at the beginning of its formation.

Rethinking Tourism
Authors: Siallagan Kai
Published: March 2023

This presentation takes a critical approach to the dynamics and effects of “mass tourism” in the Global South, particularly in Lake Toba, Indonesia. This analysis rests on the corpus of my past and ongoing research surrounding economics, colonial policy, and ethnopolitics in the region (see bibliography). I explore the complex terrain of the contemporary tourism industry of Indonesia as a case study into the often-invisible negative impacts of mass tourism on Indigenous communities in a globalised setting. Consequently, for the purposes of the presentation, I plan to expand the discussion beyond my particular research context to illustrate how mass tourism produces negative outcomes among communities across the world in areas such as Latin America, Africa, and South Asia. My work thus endeavours to question how erroneous colonial discourses remain present and powerful in the ways in which contemporary tourism has evolved and is conducted.
The presentation meshes well with the theme of this year’s conference; the archives are a powerful engine of misinformation in historical analyses. The goal is to illustrate how colonial misinformation campaigns—represented and empowered through the archives—continue to produce harmful bodies of knowledge (discourses) with real impacts on the politics, economies, and societies of today. I thus hope to bring a critical discussion to the conference that interrogates assumptions surrounding the supposed neutrality of tourism as commonly expressed in Western society.

Background:

Multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (MCPM) is an uncommon mesothelium-related neoplasm, representing 3%-5% of peritoneal mesotheliomas. The annual incidence rate is 2 per 1,000,000. Typically, it is discovered unintentionally and accompanied by subacute abdominal pain. Surgery is the initial treatment option and involves the removal of cysts entirely from the body. In our case we describe an uncommon clinical and radiological presentation of this rare clinical entity.

Case Presentation:

We present the case of a 48-year-old male who presented with severe abdominal pain. The computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed a septate pluriconcameral oval formation, hyperdense, suprahydric density content. The patient underwent exploratory laparoscopy. Numerous cystic structures were discovered. A histopathological examination revealed the MCPM. The patient was discharged and pursued follow-up at a specialized center.

Conclusion:

MPCM is a neoplasm whose pathophysiology is yet unknown, due to the lack of longitudinal studies and its rarity. Further studies are necessary to improve the treatment and management of the patients.
