Comprehensive evaluation measures of nonlinear estimation algorithm performance
Authors: Peng Weishi , Fang Yangwang , Ma Yongzhong
Published: March 2024

Although many scholars say that their algorithms are better than others in the state estimation problem, only a fewer convincing algorithms were applied to engineering practices. The reason is that their algorithms outperform others only in some aspects such as the estimation accuracy or the computation load. To solve the problem of performance evaluation of state estimation algorithms, in this paper, the comprehensive evaluation measures (CEM) for evaluating the nonlinear estimation algorithm (NEA) is proposed, which can comprehensively reflect the performance of the NEAs. First, we introduce three types of the NEAs. Second, the CEM combining the flatness, estimation accuracy and computation time of the NEAs, is designed to evaluate the above NEAs. Finally, the superiority of the CEM is verified by a numerical example, which helps decision makers of nonlinear estimation algorithms theoretically and technically.

Published: March 2024

The main focus of this paper is to solve the optimization problem of minimizing the maximum completion time in the flexible job-shop scheduling problem. In order to optimize this objective, random sampling is employed to extract a subset of states, and the mutation operator of the genetic algorithm is used to increase the diversity of sample chromosomes. Additionally, 5-tuple are defined as the state space, and a 4-tuple is designed as the action space. A suitable reward function is also developed. To solve the problem, four reinforcement learning algorithms (Double-Q-learning algorithm, Q-learning algorithm, SARS algorithm, and SARSA(λ) algorithm) are utilized. This approach effectively extracts states and avoids the curse of dimensionality problem that occurs when using reinforcement learning algorithms. Finally, experimental results using an international benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution model.

Enhancing platoon performance: A novel approach to speed and direction control using V2X communication
Authors: Boubakri Anis , Mettali Gammar Sonia
Published: March 2024

Autonomous vehicle platoons have become an increasingly popular solution to enhance driving system performance and facilitate the safe integration of these vehicles on the roads. To ensure efficient platoon traffic, it is essential to effectively manage both speed and direction within this group of vehicles. It is in this context that this research is situated. Our primary objective is to enhance the performance of speed and direction controllers, as the ability of vehicles to adjust these parameters in a coordinated manner is crucial for the success of platoon traffic. To achieve this, we have developed a novel speed control approach based on neural networks and fuzzy logic, utilizing V2X communication. By incorporating environmental parameters through vehicle-to-vehicle communication and considering the specific goals of the platoon, our neuro-fuzzy system can accurately calculate optimal speeds and directions for the vehicles. Our experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach compared to traditional and advanced methods, improving both energy efficiency and temporal coordination of autonomous vehicles within the platoon.
Sustainable Equity Discrimination in Asset Liability Management for Practitioners: A Practical Approach
Authors: Queffeulou Solène , Etienne Pierre-Alexandre , Gauchon Romain
Published: March 2024

CONTEXT: As the financial sector increasingly emphasizes responsible investment, insurance companies are actively seeking user-friendly approaches to incorporate sustainability criteria for equities into their Asset and Liability Management processes.

OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to introduce a novel practitioner-centric methodology focused on seamlessly integrating publicly available Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. The objective is also to ensure ease of implementation for companies, emphasizing independence from ESG scoring provided by private data providers.

METHODS: The proposed approach involves leveraging accessible sustainability data to construct both a sustainable equity index and a complementary index for non-included shares, utilizing clustering techniques. Subsequently, an efficient frontier is generated through the application of the Markowitz methodology. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through its application to a real portfolio, showcasing stability with a notable emphasis on sustainable assets, guided by the efficient reallocations suggested by the Markowitz model.

RESULTS: Both constructed indices exhibit similar trends, with the ESG index outperforming, albeit with slightly higher volatility. This performance discrepancy is mirrored in the strategic asset allocation, where a preference is given to the ESG class over the non-ESG class.

IMPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS: The findings suggest the feasibility of a financial institution successfully developing its own cohesive sustainability index using solely publicly available data. While our constructed ESG index demonstrated superior performance in this study, further research involving alternative data sources is essential to generalize this result.
Raising Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change in the Energy and Food Sectors of Egypt
Authors: Al-Gamal Samir
Published: March 2024

Climate change will likely impact food security globally, regionally, and locally. Climate change can disrupt food availability, reduce access to food, and affect food quality. Accordingly, the impacts of climate change on the agricultural sector reflect food security and pose a serious threat to sustainable development. Furthermore, the total energy demand of Egypt is marked by an exponential growth of electricity demand, at a pace much faster than that of GDP, primary energy consumption, and population mainly due to a doubling up of the consumption of Egypt. The expected development of the industrial sector, the accelerated access to electricity, and the improvement of standards of living (directly connected with the consumption of the residential sector) are the reasons for these consumption upsurges. The different components of climatic change such as projected increases in temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, changes in extreme weather events, and reductions in water availability may all result in reduced agricultural productivity and may cause energy consumption upsurges. The main problem with climatic change and climatic variability in all parts of the Mediterranean Basin is that systematic climate observation programs are, at present, inadequate to permit reliable assessment, quantification, and prediction of climatic conditions and their impacts. More accurate assessments of regional climate variability and change and their related environmental and socio-economic impacts are highly needed.

Dreamscapes of Belonging
Authors: Favre Dragana
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a personal journey through the application of Jungian Art-Based Research (JABR), initiated by attending a course by Susan Rowlands. It delves into the transformative experience of exploring the multiverse of dreams and their impact on the author's professional and personal development. The exploration began with the author’s repetitive dreams, characterized by detailed urban landscapes, serving as the primary material for research. By physically mapping these dreamscapes and integrating various symbolic materials, the author engaged in a deep, introspective process, highlighting the non-linear and spiraling nature of JABR. This journey further intertwined with reflections on identity, homelessness, and the longing for a sense of belonging, amplified by historical and cultural dislocations. Through spontaneous dance and subsequent reflections, the author confronts the disillusionment with idealized spaces and faces the reality of changing perspectives and attachments. The paper concludes by pondering the broader implications of our attachment to the Earth, suggesting that our efforts to save it might be hindered by our need to name and possess, rather than embrace its intrinsic, unnamed existence. Through a Jungian lens, the author proposes a reevaluation of our relationship with the planet, advocating for a detachment from specific names to foster a more universal and sustainable connection.
Clausewitzian Coup d’Oeil: The Extraordinary Intuition of the War Genius
Authors: Rapin Ami-Jacques
Published: March 2024

The Clausewitzian concept of the _coup d’oeil_ is seen as an extraordinary form of intuition, distinct from the tact of judgement. Although this concept is not unrelated to the tactical _coup d’oeil_ of 18th-century military writers, it differs in the breadth of the conceptual system into which Clausewitz integrates it. Within this system, the concept also differs from contemporary notions of “strategic intuition” or “battlefield _coup d’oeil_”.

Parenting education is a fundamental knowledge for everyone to understand. Unfortunately parenting is still a topic that is rarely discussed, especially for those who stay in rural areas. Even though there are many mistakes in parenting styles that can very often happen to those, the low level of education and the lack of access provided by the government are the main reasons why parenting education is rarely accepted by villagers. This situation has a major influence on the low understanding of the community members of the knowledge of parenting. In addition, residents' understanding of the characteristics of child development is also very low. Providing facilities to carry out parenting seminars is one way to break this misunderstanding.
