Gradient-Based MPC Controller for One DOF Copter Control
Authors: Uyar Okan
Published: January 2025

This study tries to contrast the performance of Gradient Based Model Predictive Control (MPC) with the classical PID controllers in the control of a 1 DOF copter system. While PID controllers are easy to set up and be applied in a vast number of occasions, they may become insufficient when nonlinear systems or operating constraints are considered. To that end, results show that MPC, whose optimization formulation predicts the system dynamics, has better performance measures. Simulation results show that the gradient-based MPC performs well in dynamic and steady-state performance compared to PID controllers tuned with two different coefficients. In particular, the MPC is characterized by high accuracy and minimum long-term error, no overshoot and fast settling time. In noisy conditions, MPC is able to produce a stable control signal due to its predictive capability, whereas PID controllers are more sensitive to such conditions and produce a chattering signal. It is concluded that the Gradient Based MPC is a good choice for applications that require more precise control and robustness against noise, while PID controllers are preferable due to their simplicity and low computational cost.

Today's organic food market is proliferating. An increasing number of consumers are turning their purchasing preferences towards organic food. The need for healthy eating, with increasingly digitised purchasing habits, is giving impetus to the development of online sales of organic food. The increase in the number of operators offering online sales of organic food products is influencing them to use increasingly improved methods not only for sale but, above all, for reaching consumers. Sales and marketing techniques are being improved. This study aimed to define the most frequently used and practical tools to support online organic food sales. Based on data from reports and the results of previous research, the current state of the e-commerce sector in both domestic and global markets was analysed and presented. A close look was taken at the relationship of internet marketing with online sales. E-marketing was addressed here as one of the best ways to support the e-commerce sector of the organic food industry. Other online solutions to support e-commerce were also discussed more extensively. Through a diagnostic survey, responses were gathered regarding the condition of the sector under study and the influence of internet marketing on online sales of organic food. The results showed that consumers prefer to purchase organic food primarily on large platforms (66%) and eco-farms (33%). The results allow us to conclude that all consumers surveyed receive e-marketing messages for organic food. Moreover, as many as 84% of those surveyed have purchased the product under the influence of marketing messages.

The Concept of Freedom in Indian Philosophy
Authors: Ghosh Raghunath ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2025

The paper deals with the concepts of determinism and freedom as found in the philosophy of the Indian origin. Actually, there is a long controversy regarding these concepts among different schools of philosophy. The problem has been dealt with and solved by Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. My effort is to justify Radhakrishnan’s position with some favourable arguments from the Indian standpoint. As per an observation of Radhakrishnan it is concluded that both the divine power and human effort are essential for any type of success in our life. If these two factors remain in a cooperative stage, there is neither pure determinism nor pure human effort, but the amalgamation of both. Our karmas in the past can be brough into future or can be minimized if our will-force is in the full swing. If we can invest our energy or power, we can change the map of karma, even the divine interference. This has been shown with help of various arguments.

Authors: Oni Babatunde Olatunji ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2025

This paper delves into the complex phenomenon of moral devaluation in the African context, seeking to unravel its underlying causes and implications for society. Africa, with its rich cultural diversity and historical legacies, presents a unique backdrop for exploring the dynamics of moral values. It is however noted that moral devaluation refers to the erosion or decline of ethical standards and values within a society, and which has become increasingly pertinent in the African context. This paper critically examines the multifaceted factors contributing to this phenomenon, including socio-economic disparities, political instability, and the influence of globalization. The paper also scrutinizes through argumentative and analytic methods of philosophical inquiry, the role of traditional belief systems, colonial legacies, and contemporary challenges in shaping moral values. Moreover, this inquiry assesses the profound consequences of moral devaluation on African societies,such as the breakdown of social cohesion, rising crime rates, and diminished trust in institutions. It also highlights the potential impact on the continent's development prospects, given the pivotal role of ethics in economic and political progress. Drawing from a range of philosophical perspectives, the African philosophical thought to Western ethical theories, this paper aims at contributing to a deeper understanding of the philosophical issues surrounding moral devaluation while offering insights on policies and interventions that aims at rejuvenating moral values and fostering ethical resilience within African societies. Ultimately, the paper underscores the urgency of addressing moral devaluation as an essential component of Africa's ongoing quest for social and moral renewal.
Autonomization of the Political within the Boundaries of Legal Reality
Authors: Zhurbina Irina ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2025

This paper explores ways of defining the political within the framework of legal reality. The relevance of the research topic is due to modern processes of economic globalization, which contribute to the establishment of a neoliberal type of state that transforms the state of exception, turning the exceptional measure into a permanent management technology. Economic globalization raises anew the question of the specificity of the political. It is shown that the dual nature of the state of exception establishes two different ways of interpreting the political. In the first version, the political is defined through the legal boundary, where it relates to the state of full power of the sovereign and/or dictator (Schmitt). In the second version, the political is defined through the boundary indicating the state of exhaustion of legal competence, which corresponds to the situation of a lack of legal rights of homo sacer (Agamben).
A Comparative Study of the Problem of the Relationship between the Mind and Body in the Thoughts of Descartes and Mulla Sadra
Authors: RajabNezhadian Masoumeh , Gharamaleki Ghorbanali Karimzadeh , Babaei Ali ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2025

Most philosophers have regarded humans as a psychosomatic reality, considering the individual human being as a unity composed of two distinct dimensions: immaterial and material, which are interrelated. However, the manner in which these two distinct substances relate to each other has leaded humanity to numerous challenges. Hence, Descartes and Mulla Sadra, have attempted to elucidate the relationship between the mind and body. Therefore, comparing thoughts of Mulla Sadra and Descartes regarding the issue of the mind and body, along with the proposed solutions by these two philosophers, can address numerous human inquiries regarding the dual constituents forming the reality of human existence. This article, using a descriptive-analytical method, comes to conclusion that Descartes considered the pineal gland as the primary agent of the interaction between the mind and body, whereas Mulla Sadra, based on the theory of material creation and substantial motion of the mind, deemed the interaction between the mind and body feasible.
