Psycholinguistic Peculierities of the Assimilation of Angloamericanisms by the Speakers of Ukrainian-English Bilingualism
Authors: Leleka Tetyana , Moskalenko Olena
Published: November 2018

The article deals with the problem of psycholinguistic peculiarities of the use of the American-English loans. The main task of the research is to educe the features of their assimilation by the students in the conditions of educational bilingualism. The knowledge of a foreign language can affect the perception of the loans and can distort their understanding.
Speaking about the angloamericanisms, we mean, first of all, the lexical loans, transferring of words from one language into other with adaptation in the system of the language-recipient. An angloamericanism – an absolute language universal, presented by the class of the adopted lexical units that is fixed in the dictionaries of the Ukrainian language, and assimilated in its system.
As an examinee the students of foreign languages and flight operations faculties were involved, as the example of the carriers of artificial bilingualism. The psycholinguistic and associative experiments are used. It contains such procedures: preselection of the newest loans, and also producing to the participants of the experiment of the list of the tasks, including the description of associations.
Initial position of our experimental research is a hypothesis that the mastered enough word in an individual lexicon, firstly, is perceived as acquainted, secondly, easily enters into associative connections with other words, thirdly, does not cause large difficulties in description of its semantics.
An experimental list consists of twenty-three words related to the most frequent thematic subsystems in the adopting language: business, economy, entertainments, sport and fashion.
Free associative experiment provides the material for building associative fields of certain concepts, reconstruction of fragments of language and conceptual pictures of the world.
The students had to define if the words acquainted or unknown; to write down an associative reaction; to explain the value of the word; to write down a sentence with the loan.
The comparable analysis of results of questioning of the informants showed that the assimilation of the loans is high enough. However, the students showed large creativity in determination of semantics and in presentation of associative reactions on the loans, which testify to aspiration to show their linguistic abilities.

The military vocabulary is singled out into two groups: 1) the one that names persons; 2) the one that characterizes processes, actions and states. According to our observations, the most significant manifestations are lexemes of foreign origin for the nomination of persons. Quite often, military vocabulary has a negative coloring, contrasts with the neutral vocabulary and attracts the attention of the reader.
The military vocabulary is still a little explored layer of lexicology and requires a thorough study, in particular, the question of replenishment of thematic groups, word-building potential of lexemes, etc.
The Cognitive Approach to Teaching Students English Terminological Lexis of the Subject Field of “Microeconomics”
Authors: Naumenko Liudmyla , Оliynyk Оksana
Published: November 2018

The paper is devoted to study of prerequisites of applying cognitive approach to teaching English terminological lexis of the subject field of “microeconomics” of students of non-special higher educational establishments. Such notions as “cognition”, “memory”, “attention”, “thinking”, “intelligence” that provide student’s mental activity in the process of studying have been considered. The system of cognitive exercises on learning English economic terminology that contains seven types, i.e.: exercises on choice of proper lexical information, grouping, guesswork from the context, logic thinking, formulating scientific definitions, language game, associative thinking, problem-solving, and is based on logic operations of comparison, identification, division / disjuncture, integration / conjuncture, analysis and synthesis, deduction, abstraction, generalization, classification, typology, categorization, conceptualization, formulation of notions and judgements. The exercises have been chosen according to thematic principle (the topic “Marketing’ from the author’s manual ‘Business English Course’) and include the following kinds: identifying a key word, identifying an odd word, multiple choice, finding out a particular name, grouping the words according to their semantic combinability, guesswork from the context, formulation of definitions, solving the crossword, filling in the radial diagram of the mental map by language reactions-associations to the word ‘marketing’, problem-solving of the real-like situation dealing with marketing activity in small groups and proposing a business solution. The selected exercises develop heuristic capabilities, analytic skills, logics of thinking and creative imagination of students, facilitate memorizing, strengthen attention, intensify subject and foreign languages knowledge, help to acquire new knowledge, structure information in verbal and visual forms, motivate research activity.
Approaches to Translation in the Context of Theory of Speech Activity
Authors: Zasiekin Serhii
Published: November 2018

Over the past decades there has been a significant increase in the studies exploring cognitive foundations of translation reflected in a considerable amount of literature published on the topic. However, it is important to bear in mind that many of the ideas in the cognitive literature are mainly rooted in the psycholinguistic approaches to translation. For instance, a lot of scholarly works on translation in the former Soviet Union published in 1960-1970s emphasise the role of translator’s thinking and speech processes. The emergence of ‘theory of speech activity’, Soviet version of Western psycholinguistics, stimulated interest of linguists and psychologists who considered translation and interpreting, their procedural aspects worthy of scholarly attention. A. Leontyev (1969), one of the founders of the above mentioned ‘theory’, paid special attention to translator’s mental operations and probabilistic programming of the target language utterance(s). Thus far, a number of recent cognitive translation studies have confirmed the effectiveness of previous psycholinguistic models of translation designed within the framework of theory of speech activity. The goal of the study is a theoretical review of psycholinguistic approaches to interpreting and translation discussed in the works of scholars who were part of the Soviet theory of speech activity. The main objective is to reveal the translator’s status, his/her thinking and speech operations as psycholinguistic units in the approaches under review. Together, the psycholinguistic studies reviewed in the paper support the notion that the translator relies both on his/her algorithmic actions and heuristic solutions with the latter based on his/her background guided by probability thinking mechanism. This integrated approach proves useful in expanding our better and deeper understanding of translator’s activity.
The Image of Region in Ordinary Language Consciousness of its Residents (on an Example of an Image of Kuzbass)
Authors: Kondratyevа Olga , Frolovа Tatyana
Published: November 2018

The article solves a topical problem, i.e. it develops the idea about the relevance of the psycholinguistic techniques’ usage in the image-building and branding of the regions. In particular it develops the thesis that an initial point of the region successful image’s formation is the studying of its image existing in the ordinary language consciousness of its residents and then and in the consciousness of other regions’ residents.
Such psycholinguistic researches will give an opportunity to define strong and weak points of the regions in the consciousness of a mass audience. In other words they will let reveal and neutralize risk factors which can negatively affect the region’s image and define characteristics which will become a basis for successful region’s self-presentation.
In order to demonstrate the efficiency of psycholinguistic techniques’ application in the studying of the territory’s representation the image of Kuzbass is described. Kuzbass is one of the strategically significant regions of Russia. In the course of the research an experimental psycholinguistic technique was used, including three complementary procedures: 1) а method of subjective definitions; 2) the directed associative experiment; 3) a method of non-complete sentences.
The analysis has shown that the kernel of Kuzbass’s image is formed by three semantic groups: «Homeland», «Territory» and «Coal». The named groups are reflected both in the knowledge about the region and in the differently ranked concepts and evaluations which proves their fundamental character. It is also necessary to note that positive evaluations prevail which shows that the doubtless positive attitude of the residents to native region dominates.
The developed coal industry and the positive personal attitude to the region can become meaningful points for an effective Kuzbass brand development. Nevertheless, negative issues are also reflected in the reactions, such as problems in social and recreational areas which should be paid attention to while working on the positive image of Kuzbass.

Аналізується діяльність жіночих організацій, які перебували під контролем місцевих партійних комітетів. Визначено коло проблем, вирішення яких покладалося на так звані жіночі ради. Зроблено висновок, що кадрова політика більшовицької влади носила дискримінаційних характер по відношенню до жінок.
ЕВОЛЮЦІЯ НОМЕНКЛАТУРНИХ МЕТОДІВ УПРАВЛІННЯ В УМОВАХ ТОТАЛІТАРИЗМУ ПІСЛЯВОЄННОЇ ДОБИ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ РСР)
Authors: Киридон Петро
Published: November 2018

Тоталітарна організація радянської партійної системи базувалася на використанні в кадровій політиці партійно-державної номенклатури, а розгалужений партійний апарат діяв в інтересах забезпечення більшовицької диктатури практично на всіх рівнях. Первісно номенклатура формувалася як консервативно-регресивна сила. На систему добору та розстановки кадрів упливали суб’єктивні чинники. Після війни кадрове комплектування управлінських структур перетворилося на одну з найважчих стратегічних задач влади.У післявоєнні часи ситуація принципово не змінилася. Однак правляча управлінська група мусила мімікрувати в умовах парадигмальних зрушень радянської влади та нових геополітичних реалій. Поставала потреба враховувати й настрої суспільства, яке тільки-но вийшло переможцем у тяжкій війні і сподівалося на демократичні зміни. Перед правлячою номенклатурою поставало завдання приборкання соціальних рухів, що розвивалися в післявоєнну добу, зокрема й в Українській РСР. Стаття розкриває нові форми номенклатурної організації управління в післявоєнній республіці. Інституціоналізація правлячої номенклатури та її функціонування упродовж другої половини 1940 – середини 1960-х років розкриваються на основі архівних документів та історіографічних джерел.

L’hybridité dans La Steppe rouge de J. Kessel : limite ou complémentarité ?
Authors: Chaabene Rached
Published: November 2018

The Red Steppe of Joseph Kessel is a valuable work, insofar as it is mainly characterized by its generic hybridity. The six novellas oscillate between the biographical and autobiographical, between history and fiction, between the individual and the collective, between the current and the universal. A sort of juxtaposition and/or co-existence can be traced between the novella of Kessel and other literary genres such as the travelogue, the initiation story, the adventure story, the historical narrative and the fictional narrative. This interdiscursive report makes the historical text an open text, "a hybrid text."

Published: November 2018

La degradación de los arrecifes de coral ha evidenciado su vulnerabilidad ante los factores de estrés asociados al cambio climático. Se presenta una panorámica de la evolución de los modelos conceptuales y metodológicos para evaluar la vulnerabilidad de los arrecifes de coral ante los factores de estrés asociados al cambio climático, a través de una revisión de las publicaciones científicas especializadas resultantes de estas bases de datos bibliográficas: ebscohost, Science Direct, jstor, Annual Reviews, Springer Link y pnas con los términos específicos de búsqueda: arrecife, vulnerabilidad y cambio climático (español e inglés). Se observó una tendencia al aumento en el número de autores, instituciones y países por publicación, siendo Oceanía la región con mayor número de estos trabajos. Los primeros modelos para evaluar la vulnerabilidad climática de estos ecosistemas sólo incorporan sus elementos ecológicos; actualmente la mayoría incorpora sus elementos socio-ecológicos. En México, se encontró este tipo de modelos en reportes, informes, manuales y capítulos de libro; la mayoría presentan modelos metodológicos para evaluar la vulnerabilidad socio-ecológica de estos ecosistemas y están enfocados principalmente a la capacidad de adaptación en las áreas naturales protegidas; también se observa la colaboración entre diversas instituciones gubernamentales, de la sociedad civil —nacionales e internacionales— y académicas.

Relationale Demokratie. Das verfassungsrechtliche Demokratieprinzip und gerechte Staatlichkeit in Deutschland
Authors: Röhner Cara
Published: November 2018

Trotz 100 Jahre Frauenwahlrecht hält die Unterrepräsentation von Frauen in den Parlamenten und anderen staatlichen Institutionen weiterhin an. In der Verfassungswissenschaft wird die Unterrepräsentation von Frauen jedoch nicht zu den relevanten demokratischen Defiziten gezählt, sie bleibt schlicht unerwähnt. Dieser Befund einer De-Thematisierung folgt aus dem individualisierenden Demokratieverständnis des liberalen Repräsentationsmodells. Dieses begreift Staatsbürger*innen als freie und gleiche Rechtssubjekte unabhängig von ihrer sozialen Verortung. Eine solch abstrakt-formale Perspektive bietet jedoch keinen Maßstab für gerechte Staatlichkeit und hat dementsprechend kein Vokabular für die Thematisierung von gesellschaftlichen Achsen der Ungleichheit entwickelt. Dies führt dazu, dass eine individualisierende Interpretation des Demokratieprinzips dominiert, die faire Repräsentation durch gesetzliche Inklusionsmechanismen – Quoten, paritätische Wahlgesetze, Wahlrechtsreformen – als Beeinträchtigung anstatt als Verwirklichung des Demokratieprinzips erscheinen lässt. Dieser herrschenden Perspektive sollen drei relationale Ansätze entgegengesetzt werden: Anne Phillips Politik der Präsenz, Blanca Rodríguez-Ruiz’ und Ruth Rubio-Maríns paritätische Demokratie und Silke Ruth Laskowskis effektive Einflussnahme. Mit diesen lässt sich eine relationale Interpretation des Demokratieprinzips als Basis gerechter Staatlichkeit entwickeln. Diese bietet ein Interpretationsrepertoire, um die politischen Parteien gesetzlich auf eine geschlechtergerechten Nominierung für alle staatlichen, nicht nur die legislativen, Ämter zu verpflichten.
Mixed logical and probabilistic reasoning in the game of Clue
Authors: Neller Todd W. , Luo Ziqian
Published: November 2018

We describe a means of mixed logical and probabilistic reasoning with knowledge in the popular game Clue. Using pseudo-Boolean constraints we call at-least constraints, we more efficiently represent cardinality constraints on Clue card deal knowledge, perform more general constraint satisfaction in order to determine places where cards provably are or are not, and then employ a WalkSAT-based solution sampling algorithm with a tabu search metaheuristic in order to estimate the probabilities of unknown card places. Finding a tradeoff between WalkSAT-heuristic efficiency in finding solution samples and the sampling bias such a heuristic introduces, we empirically study algorithmic variations in order to learn how such sampling error may be reduced.

This article describes the protocol for the Systematic Multi-domain Alzheimer’s Risk Reduction Trial (SMARRT), a single-blind randomized pilot trial to test a personalized, pragmatic, multi-domain Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk reduction intervention in a US integrated healthcare delivery system. Study participants will be 200 higher-risk older adults (age 70–89 years with subjective cognitive complaints, low normal performance on cognitive screen, and ≥ two modifiable risk factors targeted by our intervention) who will be recruited from selected primary care clinics of Kaiser Permanente Washington, oversampling people with non-white race or Hispanic ethnicity. Study participants will be randomly assigned to a two-year Alzheimer’s risk reduction intervention (SMARRT) or a Health Education (HE) control. Randomization will be stratified by clinic, race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white versus non-white or Hispanic), and age (70–79, 80–89). Participants randomized to the SMARRT group will work with a behavioral coach and nurse to develop a personalized plan related to their risk factors (poorly controlled hypertension, diabetes with evidence of hyper or hypoglycemia, depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality, contraindicated medications, physical inactivity, low cognitive stimulation, social isolation, poor diet, smoking). Participants in the HE control group will be mailed general health education information about these risk factors for AD. The primary outcome is two-year cognitive change on a cognitive test composite score. Secondary outcomes include: 1) improvement in targeted risk factors, 2) individual cognitive domain composite scores, 3) physical performance, 4) functional ability, 5) quality of life, and 6) incidence of mild cognitive impairment, AD, and dementia. Primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed in both groups at baseline and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

Published: November 2018

TiO2 P25 was fluorinated by thermal shock method in order to study the influence of thermal shock fluorination on the surface properties and the photocatalytic activity for the degradation of cationic and anionic organic dyes at different pH values. The surface charge of catalysts was characterized by the pHPZC measurement. The photocatalytic activity of catalysts was evaluated via the degradation of methylene blue (cationic dye) and methyl orange (anionic dye). The results showed that the thermal shock fluorination and the rise of solution pH can increase the surface negative charge of TiO2, which enhanced the adsorption of methylene blue and then improved the photocatalytic degradation of this cationic dye under UV and visible light. On the other hand, after the fluorination, the adsorption of methyl orange on TiO2 was strongly reduced, which limited the photocatalytic oxidation of this anion dye.

Prensa y revolución en Monterrey: el surgimiento del diario El Porvenir (1919-1922)
Authors: Bárcenas García Felipe
Published: November 2018

El artículo analiza el papel desempeñado por el diario El Porvenir, en Monterrey, Nuevo León, durante 1919-1922. En este periodo, el artículo 123 de la Constitución de 1917 propició un brote sin precedentes de movilizaciones obreras. Mientras que los trabajadores exigían la aplicación inmediata y plena de sus nuevos derechos constitucionales (jornadas laborales de ocho horas, descanso dominical y seguridad en las áreas de trabajo, entre otros), los empresarios se negaban a modificar sus esquemas administrativos. En este contexto, El Porvenir emergió como un medio que, comprometido con los hombres de negocios, intentó contrarrestar el activismo laboral.

Published: November 2018

El Programa Internacional de Evaluación de Estudiantes (PISA, por sus siglas en inglés), de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE), señala un creciente interés de los adolescentes mexicanos por la ciencia, pero un bajo desempeño en esa área. El Modelo de Probabilidad de Elaboración (MPE) postula que una actitud positiva pero débil no motiva las conductas de las personas. Se realizó un estudio transversal, descriptivo-comparativo con muestreo intencional no probabilístico de 229 adolescentes del estado de Guanajuato. La metodología utilizada fue mixta, incluyendo un estudio cuantitativo con la aplicación de una escala de actitudes y un estudio cualitativo con preguntas abiertas. Los resultados estadísticos muestran una actitud positiva y débil hacia la ciencia, como sugiere el MPE. El análisis de contenido describe a los científicos como inteligentes, aunque aburridos, solitarios y locos. Se discute la necesidad de fortalecer las actitudes de los adolescentes hacia la ciencia.

Chemical fungicides are a frequently used intervention for the control of the Fusarium wilt of chrysanthemum, but are no longer considered environmentally friendly. However, the biofungicides offer one of the best alternatives to reduce the use of chemical fungicides. In this study, a series of two-year greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the soil-applied chemical fungicide (dazomet, DZ) and biofungicide (biocontrol agent combined with B. subtilis NCD-2, BF) for controlling the Fusarium wilt of chrysanthemum and its effects on rhizosphere soil microbiota. The results indicated that DZ and BF showed good control efficacy of Fusarium wilt of chrysanthemum in the two-year application evaluation. However, the DZ treatment significantly decreased the soil catalase and urease activities compared with the control, while BF showed a significant increase in bacterium/fungus ratios (B/F), soil urease and acid phosphatase activities. Abundances of potential plant pathogens F. oxysporum, Rhizoctonia zeae and Rhizoctonia solani were also lower, while potential plant-growth-promoting micro-organisms like the Rhizobiales bacterium and Mariniflexile sp. were higher in the BF treatment than in the control. Our findings suggested that the overall effect of the soil biota on chrysanthemum growth was more positive and stronger in the BF treatment than in the DZ treatment.

Veterinary students face several ethical challenges during their curriculum. We used the Animal Ethics Dilemma to study animal ethical views of Finnish veterinary students, and also asked them to score the level of pain perception in 13 different species. Based on the 218 respondents, the utilitarian view was the dominating ethical view. Mammals were given higher pain scores than other animals. The proportion of the respect for nature view correlated negatively, and that of the animal rights view positively, with most animal pain scores. Fifth year students had a higher percentage of contractarian views, as compared to 1st and 3rd year students, but this might have been confounded by their age. Several pain perception scores increased with increasing study years. We conclude that the utilitarian view was clearly dominating, and that ethical views differed only slightly between students at different stages of their studies. Higher pain perception scores in students at a later stage of their studies might reflect an increased knowledge of animal capacities.

The passive detection of low-altitude signal sources is studied using an improved cross-correlation method in the time–frequency domain. A matching template is designed for signal cross-correlation, and a cross-correlation threshold is used to determine whether a signal source is present or not. An improved cross-correlation method is also proposed to estimate the direction of arrival and communication frequency of a signal source. Furthermore, the distance and signal-to-noise ratio are estimated using an energy detector. Outdoor data from a bridge in the Jimo District, Qingdao, and indoor data from a research laboratory are used for performance evaluation. The results obtained show that the proposed method can provide better passive detection of low-altitude signal sources compared to several well-known algorithms in the literature. In addition, this method is more suitable for long-distance detection.

The expansion of nursing-care assistant robots in smart infrastructure has provided more applications for homecare services, which has raised new demands for smart and natural interaction between humans and robots. This article proposed an innovative hand motion trajectory (HMT) gesture recognition system based on background velocity features. Here, a new wearable wrist-worn camera prototype for gesture’s video collection was designed, and a new method for the segmentation of continuous gestures was shown. Meanwhile, a nursing-care assistant robot prototype was designed for assisting the elderly, which is capable of carrying the elderly with omnidirectional motion and grabbing the specified object at home. In order to evaluate the performance of the gesture recognition system, 10 special gestures were defined as the move commands for interaction with the robot, and 1000 HMT gesture samples were obtained from five subjects for leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) cross-validation classification with an average recognition accuracy of up to 97.34%. Moreover, the performance and practicability of the proposed system were further demonstrated by controlling the omnidirectional movement of the nursing-care assistant robot using the predefined gesture commands.

Published: November 2018

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of the poor anchorage length of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars used for longitudinal reinforcement on the flexural and shear performances of beam elements in exterior beam–column connections made using high-strength materials. Six exterior beam–column connection specimens were tested under reversal cyclic loads applied at the free-end of the beam. The selected strength categories of materials in the beam element were as follows: 35 MPa and 70 MPa for the design compressive strength of concrete, 400 MPa and 600 MPa for the yield strength of conventional longitudinal steel bars, and 800 MPa for the tensile strength of the GFRP bar. All the longitudinal steel bars of the beams satisfied the minimum requirements of the provisions of ACI 318–14, whereas all the longitudinal GFRP bars of the beam were linearly anchored into the column section, resulting in poor anchorage length, especially for the beam with the concrete compressive strength of 35 MPa. The flexure-governed beams with GFRP bars exhibited a greater increasing rate in displacement at the pre-peak state and did not display the plastic flow characteristic after the peak load when compared with companion beams with steel bars. The beams with GFRP bars possessed lower diagonal cracking strengths and shear capacities than the companion beams with steel bars although the shear capacities of the beams with GFRP bars could be conservatively predicted using the design equation of ACI 440.1R–15 provision. The low elastic modulus and elongation capacity of GFRP bars resulted in large displacements and brittle post-peak beam performances. Furthermore, the lack of anchorage length of GFRP bars in exterior beam–column connection significantly reduced the flexural strength and ductility of the beam element.

In this paper, a parametric experimental study developing the alkali-activated slag concrete hollow block (AASCHB) is discussed. Fourteen trial mixes of alkali-activated slag concrete containing pottery sand and ceramsite with different water-to-slag ratios, sand ratios, silicate moduli, and Na2O contents were evaluated to determine the optimal mix for high compressive strength and low drying shrinkage. All four factors evaluated were found to be significant for the desired properties. A series of 390 × 190 × 190 mm3 AASCHBs were prepared using the optimal mix with a water-to-slag ratio of 0.35, sand ratio of 0.64, silicate modulus of 1.2, and Na2O content of 8%. The compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, and moisture content tests of these blocks indicate that the resulting AASCHB can be classified under the strength grade of MU15 as a load-bearing hollow concrete block. The proposed AASCHBs appear to provide a viable solution to the environmental problems of industrial waste and cement production emissions, leading to more sustainable buildings without compromising structural performance.

Published: November 2018

In this study, the b-values for acoustic emission (AE) events during stick-slip cycles of pre-cut faults in granite (as an analogue of unfavorably oriented immature faults) under triaxial compression (confining pressure: 40 MPa) are investigated. Using a multi-channel AE waveform recording system and two peak detectors, we recorded AE waveforms at 16 bits and at a sampling rate of 25 MHz, as well as the maximum amplitude of AE events with a dynamic range of 55 dB. For stick-slip events, the b-value decreases from 1.2 to 1.5 to approximately 0.6 as the shear stress increases, and then quickly jumps back to 1.0 to 1.3 immediately prior to the dynamic stress drop. The minimum b-value coincides with the maximum event rate and a stress level of 70 to 95% of the shear strength. It is also observed that the AE activity during each cycle was linked with the pre-failure fault slip, which accounts for 30% of the dynamic slip. Our results on b-value evaluation preceding repeated stick-slips can be used as an indicator of the degree of fault maturity and shear stress acting on the fault, which is important in seismic hazard assessment and earthquake prediction, especially for the injection-induced seismicity for fields in which reactivated shear rupture of unfavorable and immature faults or tensile fractures is important.

In this paper, a framework is presented for the evaluation of smart grid environment which is called the three-layer model. This three-layer model comprises three specific categories, or ‘layers’, namely, the stakeholder, market and technologies layers. Each layer is defined and explored herein, using an extensive literature study regarding their key elements, their descriptions and an overview of the findings from the literature. The assumption behind this study is that a solid understanding of each of the three layers and their interrelations will help in more effective assessment of residential smart grid pilots in order to better design products and services and deploy smart grid technologies in networks. Based on our review, we conclude that, in many studies, social factors associated with smart grid pilots, such as markets, social acceptance, and end-user and stakeholder demands, are most commonly defined as uncertainties and are therefore considered separately from the technical aspects of smart grids. As such, it is recommended that, in future assessments, the stakeholder and market layers should be combined with the technologies layer so as to enhance interaction between these three layers, and to be able to better evaluate residential smart energy systems in a multidisciplinary context.
