Development of a Traveling Wave-based Protection Scheme for Power Systems with High Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources using a Hybrid Independent Component Analysis-Support Vector Machine Algorithm
Authors: Samson Kitsao Mramba.  , Dr. Peter Moses Musau.  , Dr. Abraham Mutunga Nyete
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The bulk integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid brings about fresh challenges in grid protection, notably in the modification of fault levels. Also, the intermittent nature of renewable energy source inputs makes it challenging for traditional protection methods like overcurrent and distance relays to reliably safeguard these systems. This study introduces an Independent Component Analysis-Support Vector Machine-based protection system tailored to tackle the protection issues arising from renewable energy integration. This method was developed and tested on a 50kV 180km transmission line that was highly penetrated with solar photovoltaics, simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Simulations were conducted for different fault types, signal noise levels, and fault resistances. The simulation results were then compared with the results of other methods published in available literature. The accuracy of the Independent Component Analysis-Support Vector Machine algorithm in determining the location of faults for the different scenarios was above 99.7%. The fault classification accuracy ranged between 99% and 100% for different levels of signal to noise ratio. Although the method is not as accurate when applied to power systems with high penetration of renewable energy sources as opposed to when applied to conventional power systems, the simulation results are satisfactory since they are higher than 99% which is the accuracy threshold for fault location and classification.

The influence of the pastor's visitation has an impact on the congregation's attendance at worship. Often, pastors feel that the results of their ministry have been maximized if they can preach faithfully to the congregation. However, pastors who visit their congregations less often have the impact of decreasing congregational attendance at worship services. This condition occurs with pastors from various denominations in Melawi Regency which is located in West Kalimantan province. Acts. 9:32-10:27 is used as a theoretical basis because it explains the pastoral visitation made by the Apostle Peter to believers in Asia Minor. This research aims to find out how the pastor's visitation affects congregation attendance. Quantitative methods using the SPSS version 25.0 program were used for data calculations, a valid sample of 93 people from a total of 163 pastors spread across Melawi Regency as the research population. The research results found that pastoral visitation carried out diligently will increase the expansion of the Gospel, family resilience and especially the congregation's attendance at church services. AbstrakPengaruh visitasi gembala sidang memiliki dampak kepada kehadiran jemaat dalam ibadah.

Published: July 2024

Pediatric patients with multiple organ failures in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) are at a higher risk of mortality. Assessing the mortality risk when patients are admitted to PICU is important to allocate treatment and care properly. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the PRISM IV score within the first 24 and 72 hours to predict mortality in the PICU. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected to compute the PRISM IV in the first 24 and 72 hours among critically ill pediatric patients in the PICU at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, from April 2021 to February 2022. The comparison of the PRISM IV scores and its components within the first 24 and 72 hours was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, Student’s independent t-test or McNemar test.  The role of PRISM IV score in predicting mortality was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Out of 35 pediatric patients, 17 (48.6%) of them died. Platelet count (p=0.022), pCO2 (p=0.026), HCO3 (p=0.009), total CO2 (p=0.015), and base excess (p=0.001) were statistically different between 24 and 72 hours groups. The area under curve (AUC) for the first 24 hours using PRISM IV scores was 47.4% with p=0.792 (95%CI, 27.7%–67.1%). Meanwhile, the AUC of 72 hours group was 65.4%, p=0.121 (95%CI, 47.1%–83.6%). This study suggested that PRISM IV scores in the first 24 and 72 hours may not be a reliable screening tool for predicting mortality. However, further studies are suggested to validate these findings.

Pollution of the aquatic environment with organic contaminants has become a world problem because they are indestructible and most of them have toxic effects on man and organism. This study covers the determination of organic contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) oil and grease (O and G) in surface water around tank farms in Oghareki community, Delta State. The samples were collected for a period of twelve months (April 2022 – March 2023) at distances of 100 meters to 1 kilometer away from the tank farms. After sampling, samples were transported to the laboratory for chemical analyses. Each of the samples were tested for the presence of VOCs and TPHs by the use of Gas Chromatography coupled with Flame Ionization Detector (GC/FID) and O and G by Uv / visible spectrophotometer. Data were presented as mean triplicate of analyses and results of organic contaminants in water analyses showed mean O and G in the ranged of 0.002 – 0.006 and 0.004 – 0.007mg/L; mean TPHs in the range of 1.607 – 8.132 and 3.319 – 4.835mg/L, and mean VOCs in the range from 0.014 – 0.409 and 0.122 – 0.354mg/L for months and distances of investigations respective. Observations showed that the surface water around the tank farms are contaminated at some points and polluted at some other points when results of the study locations compared with that of the control. Results of monthly analyses were higher during the dry season than wet season. The contamination / pollution of the environment was attributed to nature of activities around the tank farms. It was therefore recommended that individuals should consider the consequences of their actions and work to improve the quality of soil and water

High Preoperative Canal Compromise as Risk Factor for Worse Neurological Outcome in Patients with Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture After Spinal Decompression and Stabilization Surgery
Authors: Mahadhana Sri , Suryanto Dusak I Wayan , Suyasa I Ketut
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Canal compromise (CC) has been associated with neurological outcomes in thoracolumbar burst fractures, with some suggestions indicating a direct correlation with a relatively worse prognosis even after surgical intervention. This study attempted to reveal the association between the preoperative CC in thoracolumbar burst fracture undergoing posterior spinal decompression – stabilization – fusion, with postoperative neurological outcome.
Methods: This study adopts a retrospective design, utilizing the medical and radiological records of total of 50 patients (41 males and nine females), with an average age of 42.4 ± 13.57 years. It divided into a case group (comprising 25 patients without neurological improvement) and a control group (consisting of 25 patients with neurological improvement). Consecutive sampling was applied to individuals meeting the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Canal compromise (CC) and the initial neurological function of all participants were assessed in the preoperative period, with a subsequent evaluation of the final neurological function conducted at a minimum of six months postoperatively. Statistical analysis involved descriptive analysis and the Chi-Square test, with the cut-off point determined through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis.
Results: The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis identified 40% as the cut-off point distinguishing between low and high canal compromise (CC). Univariate Chi-Square test analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in CC as a risk factor for postoperative neurological deficit. CC exceeding 40% is significantly associated with a relatively worse postoperative neurological outcome (p < 0.001; odds ratio [OR] 21).
Conclusion: A high preoperative canal compromise (CC) emerges as a direct risk factor for the absence of neurological improvement in patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures, indicating that higher CC is significantly associated with a relatively poorer prognosis.

Keywords: thoracolumbar burst fracture, canal compromise, neurological deficit

Published: July 2024

The proliferation of scrapyards is an environmental threat and constitutes a possible health hazard to nearby residents. This study is aimed at assessing some physicochemical properties, metal pollution, and microbial quality of scrapyard soil in Oluku, University of Benin Botanical Garden (reference) and Upper Iwehen Street, Benin City. Soil samples were gathered from three points between January to March 2024 to a depth range of 0-15cm using hand dug auger. Physicochemical and microbial analyses were conducted using established analytical techniques. The results indicated that all physicochemical parameters at the points fall within the acceptable limits except for conductivity (1107 μs/cm) in scrapyard point 3, which slightly exceeds the stipulated guideline. Metal analysis revealed that Cr, Fe, and Pb levels were within permissible limits, with Zn (300.1) exceeding limits at scrapyard point 1, and Cd (3.1) and Cu (106.8) surpassing permissible limits in scrapyard points. Also, four metals discriminated between the reference point and the scrapyard points (P<0.05). The contamination degree result reveals that the scrapyard points 1 and 3 (9.64 and 8.48) are moderately contaminated while the reference point (2.84) is slightly contaminated. The pollution load index indicated that the scrapyard points 1 and 3 (1.10 and 1.08) are polluted, while the reference point (0.94) is unpolluted. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo) results for Cd, Cu, and Zn distinguish between the scrapyards and reference points while Cr, Fe, and Pb did not. Cadmium in scrapyard points 1 and 3 (2.90 and 2.61) indicated moderately to heavily contaminated, contrasting with the slightly polluted in the reference point (0.90). Total bacteria count ranged from (3×103- 6×103) cfu/g in scrapyard points and (0×103-1×103) cfu/g at the reference point. The results reveal that scrapyard points 1 and 3 are contaminated when compared with the reference point.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: To present a rare case of neurosyphilis, the tertiary form of syphilitic infection, following adequate but belated treatment and manifesting with a variety of clinical signs and further progression to tabetic neurosyphilis. Known as the "great imitator", neurosyphilis is often misdiagnosed and underestimated. Materials/methods: A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to the Neurology clinic of UMHAT "Dr Georgi Stranski" Pleven, Bulgaria, with progressive neurological deficit including numbness in the lower limbs, imbalance and wide-based gait. The T2W- MRI showed abnormally high longitudinal signals at Th12-L1 level, consistent with transverse myelitis. CSF analysis revealed leucocytic pleocytosis, elevated proteins and normal glucose. The nerve conduction studies confirmed sensory motor polyneuropathy. Results: After treatment with intravenous aqueous crystalline (IV) penicillin, 2 million intravenously every 4 hours for 20 days, the sensory symptoms reduced. The coordination disturbances persisted, but the gate showed moderate improvement. Conclusions: The diagnosis of syphilitic myelitis, known as tabes dorsalis, is always complex, not only because of its rarity but because of its unique clinical presentation with multiple clinical symptoms, mimicking other more common neurological disorders. Though confirmation of the diagnosis needs a lot of laboratory and neuroimaging studies, the option of effective specific treatment is worth all the efforts.

Creativity as Ascesis and Pain “А Ballad of Georg Henichˮ (Viktor Paskov)
Authors: Kostova-Panayotova Magdalena
Published: July 2024

The report examines Victor Paskov‘s novel as a phenomenon that is part of his memorable and vivid prose of suffering and rejection of a dehumanized world in which guilds and mediocrity are leading. The reluctance of the creator, the impossibility and reluctance to adapt to an inhuman reality are also the focus of other works of the writer, but here the assumption that the things that have meaning, which should elevate us, bring ridicule and isolation to the creator, draw the uncomfortable contours of a reality where compassion and love are rather the exception. Yet the strength of this novel is in its message about creativity as a counterpoint and the meaning of creation.

Rhythm and Rhythmic Organisation of Speech
Authors: Tsonev Petar
Published: July 2024

The study examines the problems of rhythm as a non-linguistic and linguistic phenomenon, as well as the similarities and differences between rhythmic organization in poetry and in speech, the number and nature of rhythmic units, the classification of languages according to their rhythmic organization, and the role of various prosodic features in the rhythmization of speech. Moreover, special attention is paid to the nature of rhythm in relation to its participation in the temporal organization of speech and to the specificity of the rhythmic systém of the Bulgarian language. For this purpose, the theoretical propositions on the physiological, perceptual and linguistic conditioning of speech rhythm in relation to speech production and speech perception are presented in detail. At the end of the article on the basis of experimental data from a number of studies that have examined the rhythmic organization of Bulgarian spoken prose (colloquial language), both literary and dialectal, a number of important conclusions are made for the Bulgarian language on the discussed issues.
