Published: August 2021

Disease prognosis plays an important role in healthcare. Diagnosing disease at an early stage is crucial to provide treatment to the patient at the earliest in order to save his/her life or to at least reduce the severity of the disease. Application of Machine Learning algorithms is a promising area for the early and accurate diagnosis of chronic diseases. The black-box approach of Machine Learning models has been circumvented by providing different Interpretability methods. The importance of interpretability in health care field especially while taking decisions in life threatening diseases is crucial. Interpretable model increases the confidence of a medical practitioner in taking decisions. This paper gives an insight to the importance of explanations as well as the interpretability methods applied to different machine learning and deep learning models developed in recent years.

Authors: Turhan Ece , Aydogan Cigdem , Ergin Sergul
Published: August 2021

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of high temperatures on three tomato cultivars at first bloom and yield stages. The leaves were subjected to high temperature stress at 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60°C with gradual increments every 30-minutes in both stages. Samples were analyzed for total chlorophyll (Chl), carotenoid (Car), ascorbic acid (AsA), glutathione (GSH), total soluble protein (TSP) contents. Besides, protein profiles were determined with SDS-PAGE. Heat stress decreased Chl content in both stages, while it was higher in first bloom stage than in yield stage. Whereas carotenoid content increased in both stages. The AsA and GSH contents were higher in yield stage than in first bloom stage. Heat stress, generally reduced AsA content, while increased GSH content. It was observed that the effect of cultivars and temperature treatments on the TSP content was different in both periods. In addition, TSP content had decreased with increasing temperatures, while many protein bands had been observed in SDS-PAGE with sizes ranging from 13 kDa to 89 kDa according to treatments.

Published: August 2021

Developing country causes growth of industries sectors. Despite that industrial sectors releases massive amount of waste water into the environment. At the same time, the increasing number of vehicles in Malaysia promotes the development of automobile workshop that produces huge amount of wastewater as well. Wastewater contains high level of suspended total solids and leave untreated. For instance oil, grease, dyestuff, chromium, phosphate in washing products and colouring, as well as heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, barium and others potential metals. All these hazardous wastes directly pollute the environment especially the groundwater and harm the ecosystem. In order to minimize and reduce the impact to the environment, the wastewater needed to be treated using technology such as permeable reactive barrier (PRB). Activated carbon is one of the PRB utilised. It is a compromised material for treatment of wastewater where there are varieties of sources to produce activated carbon. Malaysia as an active agricultural country, massive amount of agriculture wastes can be turned into activated carbon. They are two methods used to produce activated carbon, namely furnace heat processing and microwave processing. The usage of furnace and microwave instruments can produce different quality of activated carbon due to different mechanism involves. Furnace heat processing transferred the heat from external to the internal but microwave processing is vice versa. In this article, a brief overview of activated carbon usage for wastewater treatment is highlighted.

Published: August 2021

Obesity is becoming a global health problem. With the living standards of residents have improved rapidly in China, the problem of obesity becomes a serious threat to people’s health. Although obesity effected by many factors, the role of the built environment in relation to obesity among population should be taken into consideration. This paper examines the association of built environment and body mass index with the hierarchical linear model, based on the data from 2016 China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS), which involves 29 provinces in China and investigates 401 villages or communities as well as 14226 families. In this paper, the village or community is used as the basic analysis unit, and the body mass index of the residents is used as the dependent variable, and neighborhood built environment (e.g. density of exercise facilities, square or park and distance to them) is as independent variables, socioeconomic status (e.g. age, gender, education, marital status, income and employment status) and health and exercise characteristics (e.g. self-rated health, average weekly exercise time and frequency) are as control variables. Participants are adults aged 15-65 years (n = 21086; 63.30% rural vs urban). With the independent variables from both individual and residential levels, hierarchical linear model is applied respectively to examine how body mass index is affected. Additionally, samples are classified by age group, urban/rural neighborhood and we figure out which factor mainly effected different groups. We explore that BMI is higher in high- vs. low-facility density neighborhoods but not significantly differ by neighborhood income. Overweight/obesity (BMI >= 25) is lower in high-developed districts. Physical fitness is higher in high-income neighborhoods but unrelates income. We conclude that living in walkable neighborhoods is associated with more physical activity and lower overweight/obesity but not with other benefits. Adults in higher-income neighborhoods have lower BMI and higher mental condition. These findings have important implications for urban planning and the corresponding improvement strategy is proposed
The Importance of Participation and Inclusion in African Urbanization. A focused look at Transport and Housing Projects
Authors:   Naipolitans, Cap Constant ,   Kenya
Published: August 2021

According to the World Bank (2015) Africa’s urbanization rate has surpassed other parts of the world. It is believed that by 2030, over 50% of Africans will reside in Urban Centres. Kenya is among the African counties that has experienced a tremendous increase in her urban population. This is most visible in the capital, the primate city of Nairobi. The growth has led to increased pressure on basic needs like housing, transport, water, education and security. Coupled with unequal economic development and social benefits, the result has been the tremendous expansion of informal sectors across fields. To respond to some of this pressure, the central government has vowed initiate large projects in housing, transport, water and others (Republic of Kenya, 2018). Newly enacted legislation also provides for the establishment of multi-sectoral urban boards to oversee the delivery of some services. Among the major projects coming up include Affordable Housing schemes and Mass Rapid Transport investments such as Bus Rapid Transit and expanded commuter rail systems. However, experience from the past both in Nairobi and other Cities has taught us the importance of inclusion, empathy and participation in such projects. Recent times have shown that public projects tend to ignore these and other key elements leading to massive failure of investment. The paper investigates case studies from similar projects in other parts of Africa, Bus Rapid Transit Projects in Lagos, Dar es Salaam and South African Cities; past Slum Upgrading and Housing Projects in Nairobi and other parts of the continent. The research methods also involve data collection on inclusion and participation from those who are affected directly by these proposed projects as well as the impacts that previous projects have had. The results from the study show that without proper communication and participation there are several misunderstandings on liveable spaces in cities. These include misinterpretations of the challenge’s citizens face, on the intentions of proposed solutions as well as the socioeconomic decision-making process of citizens. The implication of this leaves an unhealthy competition between existing informal ‘structures’ in various sectors against the new government driven proposals. The results are that those meant to benefit end up not being the primary beneficiaries. In conclusion, the role of putting people primarily as the centre objective of planning remains critical and key. For African planners, diverting from this will increase the existing inequalities and lead to further social divisions.

In globalization ear, a large number of cities around the world are losing their features with the impact of powerful alien culture. Furthermore, China has been experiencing rapid urbanization. Full speed construction calls for the standardization instead of the uniqueness, which have brought threat to characteristics of cities. Homogeneous images of cities can be seen everywhere. Local cityscape, as the identity of the indigenous culture, is becoming increasingly scarce resource and competitive power for city in the field of global competition. Cities in China, who have realized the importance of history and culture in recent years, started to preserve and improve local cityscape by the tools of urban planning and design. Taking the historic urban quarters around the Daming Palace National Heritage Park as an example, the Cityscape Control Plan is researched as a method to preserve and optimize the cityscape in the historic area during the process of urban regeneration. The project is located in Xi’an, a megacity with more than 9.6 million population. Daming Palace used to be the imperial palace of the country in Tang Dynasty (AD634-896). Quarters around it has become a decayed area with squatter settlements nowadays. The municipality tries to bring in new opportunities for the area with a Cityscape Control Plan, which offers a possible solution to combine global and modern function with local and historic cityscape. Learning from the theories of city image, urban morphology and typology, the concept of cityscape and Cityscape Control Plan are defined theoretically. Secondly, an integral cityscape structure for the area is constructed and several spatial guidelines are created in terms of morphology，street interfaces, building heights, architectural styles, architectural colours, etc. All the guidelines are integrated and detailed to specific form codes for each blocks, which can be used as an administrative tool to restrict all the related construction activities. With these efforts, the historic features and innovative features are combined to identify a unique cityscape in this area, bring in a “glocal” (global-local) solution for the revitalizing of the historic mega city as Xi’an
Analysing the perceptions of the elderly on space vitality and related environmental factors based on residential community
Authors:   Dalian University of Technology, Sui Hang ,   China, Yang Dongfeng ,   Dalian University of Technology; China
Published: August 2021

Environmental perception of the residential community has a non-negligible impact on a healthy lifestyle for the elderly. The perceived level- and actual satisfaction- of the elderly offered by the “space vitality” of the residential community is closely related to the physical and mental health for the elderly which also largely determines their quality of life. From the perspective of urban planning, it is a crucial measure to identify and effectively regulate the critical environmental impact factors of the residential community that affect the perception and experience of the elderly, to promote the construction of the age-friendly community. This paper took Dalian, China as the research range, and took the elderly as the object of research in relation to the perception of space vitality within the residential community and its associated environment-related factors. Correlation analysis was used to identify the potential environmental factors related to the perception of space vitality by the elderly. It found that the general level of the elderly's perception of space vitality has a positive correlation with many elements of the built environment e.g., the perception of the diversity, or the landscape of leisure places, which are both related to overall spatial quality. However, it does not show a significant correlation with the social environment. Therefore, useful suggestions are made on how to improve the elderly’s perception of space vitality within the residential community, particularly in prior planning and design practice. The optimization of the spatial quality of the built environment should be the core point of concern. By optimizing the arrangement of the relevant elements of the site, the elderly’s level of perception and satisfaction with the space vitality of the residential community should improve; furthermore, the physical and mental health of the elderly will be promoted in line with their quality of life.

The identity of a city is visibly recognized by observing its urban form. The development plans of the cities of Bangladesh address land use planning and ignore the aptness of urban form. As a result, the cities of Bangladesh are growing haphazardly and turning into an urban jungle rather than aesthetically pleasing habitable urban space. This study explores the intrinsic nature of the urban form of the major cities of Bangladesh as well as compares the urban form of major cities of Bangladesh with selected cities from around the world. This study conducts Physical Observation on building frontage, elevation, plinth level, footpath, doors and window pattern by employing transect method to acknowledge the character of the urban forms of the selected study area of Rajshahi city of Bangladesh. The findings of the study answer why the urban forms of the cities of Bangladesh look similar irrespective of cultural and geographical context. The findings shed lights on the weaknesses of current building codes regarding the compatibility of the design of the building elements as well as the relationship between building and street which leads to the degrade the urban aesthetics. Based on the findings some strategic and design solutions are provided with a view to improving the look of the city form.
Underground Built Heritage as catalyser for Community Valorisation. Underground4value
Authors:   ISMed-CNR, Italy, Pace Giuseppe
Published: August 2021

This paper is about how framing an innovative approach for community empowerment by organising networks and consortia for preparing proposals in different research programme frameworks. In the beginning, there was as study for classifying underground spaces and using them as a solution for a sustainable over ground urban development. By advancing in the proposals preparation, the team developed a completely different vision. The underground space was more and more seen as a place for building local identity and sense of belonging, progressing from a functional to a cultural value, from a site conservation to a community valorisation approach, by giving centrality to the people and their needs. As first step, the project faced the challenge of regenerating urban areas by realising Underground Built Heritage potential for local communities and experimenting a methodological approach on sustainability transition. Just like a story, the paper describes the evolution of the approaches, and the implementation of the activities, also if unsuccessful in the competition. The consortium grew and matured, a network based on strong analysis and revision, whose members developed an impressive social capital and learned by any failure. Piece by piece, this network was able to achieve the success, and to start a COST Action, the CA 18110 “Underground Built Heritage as catalyser for Community Valorisation”. The Action, funded for establishing and implementing an expert network, promotes balanced and sustainable approaches to preserve the Underground Built Heritage (UBH) and, at the same time, to realise the potential of the underground space in urban and rural areas for regeneration policies. The paper finally explains how a wellmotivated group of people can transform a network activity, with a little budget, in a research and on field project and how such a network can provide innovative tools for engaging and empowering local communities.

This paper aims to investigate the extent to which a rural community develops a capacity to support the establishment of a local creative economy despite various limitations. This study employs qualitative research methods in examining two villages in Indonesia, namely Kasongan and Krebet. Our findings show that the community capacity and actor networks potentially spark the development of rural economies. Local communities in both cases have utilized cultures and traditions as creative capitals, which were commercialized through communal entrepreneurship and mobilized by an organized network of creative actors. Social values, namely a strong sense of belonging, high shared values and strong emotional connections, are found to be the key factors that foster creative potentials, entrepreneurial capacity, and capacity for mobilization of local resources within the rural communities

Since the industrial revolution of the 18th century, the modern economic system gradually matured and rapidly expanded in the world, especially the state capital investment relying on the railway, which drastically changed the urbanization process and city agglomeration pattern around the world. At the end of the 19th century, due to the important strategic value of the Far East, Russia raised state capital, built the Siberian Railway directly to Vladivostok, especially the C.E.R. across Northeast China, induced capital competition among China, Japan and Russia around the port and railway construction right and management right, formed the SMR system centered on Dalian, the C.E.R. system centered on Vladivostok, and the Chinese railway system centered on Huludao, laid the city structure of the “hub-railway network-hinterland” model centered on the port city in Northeast China, which promoted the development of commercial cities, hub cities and industrial and mining cities. Under the special tariff system, China, Japan and Russia relied on port-railway capital competition, forming the city development dynamic mechanism oriented by the export-oriented economy, that has the important theory value for how to effectively use the state capital advantage to promote the development of the macro-regional city system in the context of economic globalization.

Recently the importance of maintaining of historic identity of the cities is an obvious matter in restoration of a city. Each city depends on its cultural perception and its wealth, tries to reserve and repair its cultural heritage. This matter has been done in many cities in the world and many historic urban fabrics have been restored and rehabilitated to be visited by many tourists to enjoy their atmosphere and physical and spiritual features. Iran is a country with limited water resources but in spite of this fact there are many ancient civilizations and old cities with valuable urban fabrics in them which have intellectual irrigation. The water of most cities of Iran mostly harvested from underground water by a technic which is called Qanat which irrigate city and farms. Water supplement in urban fabric and locating the hydraulic structure in cities had an important effect in forming the city which this impact shouldn’t be ignored in repairing or rehabilitation of urban fabric. In the other word hydraulic infrastructure of historic cities of Iran in hot and dry region is an important factor which shouldn’t forget during planning for rehabilitation. The route of water either underground route or surface water and also hydraulic structures which have been located in the path of water should be preserved. The case study is Qazvin city which its historic hydraulic infrastructure and hydraulic structures had an important effect in forming the city.
A dream of open defecation free India? Decolonize and innovative urban sanitation to reach those left behind
Authors: Agrawal Mahak
Published: August 2021

India, a country now known as one of the world’s fastest-growing economy, continues to be inhabited by 40 per cent of the global population of open defecators. Nearly 536 million people in India defecate in the open every day. To rectify this multifaceted issue, Government of India launched the Clean India Mission, famously known as the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, in 2014. Sanitation became a national political priority for the first time in India. The Mission renewed a hope to address a myriad of issues associated with open defecation. But this hope has only been fulfilled partially in the past five years. The paper highlights the issue of open defecation with a case of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCTD), finding answers to one question: what is the role of an urban planner in liberating Indian cities, especially Delhi, from sanitation deprivation and open defecation. National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi is identified as the case area for the project for two prime reasons: one, the extent of sanitation deprivation in the city; and second, the administrative capital of India often forms a precedent for the rest of the nation. The paper is structured into three broad sections: first, the extent of sanitation deprivation in urban India and analysis of policies- planning and non-planning, formulated in response to the issue, is highlighted. Second, the extent of the issue is investigated for the case of Delhi in context of policy frameworks; third, urban narratives of sanitation deprivation captured across select six clusters of jhuggi jhompri1 in the National Capital Territory are highlighted to exhibit differences in access and use of sanitation facilities, in context of the pan-India Clean India Mission. The paper concludes at a note of hope- envisioning a city and a country where no one is deprived of their basic human right to improved sanitation, or has to defecate in the open, and also details out implementable strategies and policies for Delhi and urban India.

Children-friendly design of urban public space based on the study of Shanghai, China
Authors:   Tongji University, Li Shuai ,   China
Published: August 2021

At present, more than 50% of children live in big cities. But with the increasing number of motor vehicles and shrinking public spaces , children have less and less opportunities for outdoor activities, resulting in obesity and sub-health problems. Therefore, it is very important to build children-friendly public spaces in metropolis. This study takes the Shanghai,china as an example.Firstly,through questionnaires,it is found that ensuring the safe movement of children and inspiring their spontaneous activities are key points to build children-friendly public spaces. Meanwhile, The public spaces near the home are the most used environment by children. Therefore, open spaces in metropolis areas need to be planned carefully for children near their homes. Then it is way much better to make sure children's places of daily life, such as homes, schools, green spaces, sports venues and so on, can be connected in a safe path. Secondly, for building the safe path for children ,the safety of each spot along the path is analyzed by SP method, which is a mathematical algorithm , in order to find the risk factors and to avoid them in the future. Then we establish the action plan of "line space + point space" to build the children-friendly urban public space system. Line space refers to meeting the basic safety space needs of children through the improvement of the routes to school, including reducing the impact of motor vehicles, safe road facilities, and enhancing road lighting system. "Point space" refers to the promotion of children's outdoor activities through the arrangement of multi-level outdoor children's playgrounds and green spaces, including safe green parks, security platforms and so on. Finally, it is hoped that the "Safety Line Space + Interesting Point Space" plan will establish a safe and inspiring path for children to travel, linking home, school, green space and sports venues, which they use mostly in their daily life. Then we can ensure the safe movement of children and inspire children's spontaneous games in big cities for a children-friendly goal

Desviar de programas: Vilém Flusser nas fronteiras entre arte, tecnologia e política
Authors: Pazetto Ferreira Debora
Published: August 2021

As intersecções entre arte e tecnologia são amplamente estudadas nas artes, mas há poucas abordagens filosóficas sobre o assunto. Este artigo se insere nessa lacuna, partindo de algumas ideias de Vilém Flusser. De acordo com o autor, o termo grego techné foi dividido em uma parte que se tornou objetivada a serviço da ciência e credenciada como o único tipo de conhecimento rigoroso, e em outra parte que foi subjetivada enquanto produção de formas estéticas sem valor epistemológico. Assim, no contexto científico, a techné foi transformada em tecnologia e amputada da estética, da ética e da política, ao passo que, no contexto artístico, foi transformada obras de arte amputadas do conhecimento e separadas da vida cotidiana. O problema é que objetividade e subjetividade são consideradas abstrações em relação ao conhecimento concreto, que é sempre intersubjetivo e, portanto, político. Por conseguinte, seria preciso superar a ruptura entre arte, tecnologia e ciência para politizá-las, isto é, para resgatar um tipo de conhecimento que esteja em sintonia com os valores, ideias, técnicas e vivências estéticas da coletividade. Tendo em vista essas considerações, este artigo aborda diversos exemplos em que arte e tecnologia são misturadas de modo a politizar o debate sobre ambas.

Published: August 2021

Este trabalho investiga relações entre a estética do cotidiano e as fotografias de natureza morta nas primeiras décadas após a invenção da técnica fotográfica no século XIX. Ao pensarmos este objeto como um elemento de junção entre os regimes da arte propostos por Rancière – ético, representacional e, mais enfaticamente, estético – visamos revelar o surgimento de uma cultura visual que passa a valorizar objetos da rotina cotidiana como protagonistas nas novas formas de expressão estética que despontam com a modernidade.
A pós-modernidade e a morte das metanarrativas: um discurso de legitimação do capitalismo
Authors: Mendes de Araujo Iron , Nunes da Silva Itamar
Published: August 2021

Considerando a importância da luta de ideias para a afirmação de um projeto político alternativo ao sistema capitalista mundial e a hegemonia adquirida hoje no ambiente acadêmico bem como na mídia em geral, pelos pensadores da chamada pós-modernidade, o presente artigo visa analisar os pressupostos teóricos das ideias pós-modernas que apontam para um cancelamento das alternativas políticas , na medida em que sepultam as metanarrativas da modernidade. Sem o caminho de uma transformação social radical à vista, os pós-modernos voltam-se para os diversos aspectos da vida social, em especial aqueles que objetivavam maior racionalização, tendo em vista o controle dos indivíduos. Abandonam a pretensão de totalidade que orientava o pensamento moderno, ou seja, suas metanarrativas e desenvolvem uma visão fragmentada da vida cotidiana e dos indivíduos também fragmentados que resulta na prática num discurso de desmobilização das lutas coletivas e de legitimação do capitalismo.
A construção do conhecimento: uma teoria abelardiana
Authors: Domingos da Silva Izabela , D'Arc Ferreira Anderson
Published: August 2021

O presente trabalho visa apresentar, de forma sucinta, uma breve análise acerca do processo Intelectivo descrito por Pedro Abelardo em sua obra De Intellectibus. Trataremos das duas formas para as quais o processo intelectivo se volta, fazendo uma maior referência ao processo lógico, pois iremos considerar apenas as proposições com uma construção correta e que possuam correspondentes no mundo, ou ainda, das quais possa ser atestado um valor de verdade. Dentro das intelecções lógicas trataremos dos tipos de intelecção e do papel da linguagem nesse processo. No ponto de vista de Abelardo as palavras passam a ser tidas como voz dotada de significado, portanto, algo previamente estabelecido pelo homem e que, a partir de disso, faz com que ela “imprima” seu significado na alma. Por fim, buscaremos expor que a questão da intelecção não se atém apenas à teoria da linguagem, mas também a uma teoria do conhecimento. É a forma como Abelardo descreve a relação da nossa mente com o mundo.
APRESENTAÇÃO DO ARTIGO “UMA TEORIA DA CONSCIÊNCIA” DE DAVID ROSENTHAL
Authors: De Athayde Prata Tarik
Published: August 2021

David Rosenthal, professor da City University of New York (C.U.N.Y.), é um dos nomes mais influentes no debate atual sobre a consciência na filosofia da mente e nas ciências cognitivas. Em 1986 ele publicou o inflente artigo Two Concepts of Consciousness, no qual ele critica a perspectiva sobre a consciência que a entende como essencial para a mente – perspectiva que ele designa como “cartesiana” – e lança as bases de sua própria teoria a respeito da consciência, teoria baseada no conceito de “pensamentos de ordem superior” (Higher-Order Thoughts), que é considerada “uma das mais bem articuladas concepções da consciência disponíveis” (Balog, 2000, p. 215). E essa teoria foi formulada de maneira mais detalhada no artigo aqui publicado, Uma teoria da consciência, que apareceu originalmente em 1990, no relatório técnico do Centro de Pesquisa Interdisciplinar (ZiF) da Universidade de Bielefeld (Alemanha), mas que é traduzido aqui a partir da versão revista publicada na coletânea The Nature of Consciousness (1997).

Published: August 2021

A epidemia do Zika e sua relação com o nascimento de crianças com microcefalia trouxeram grandes desafios para a saúde pública mundial. No Brasil vários esforços foram feitos para minimizar suas consequências mobilizando setores importantes da saúde, da ciência, da indústria farmacêutica e da economia familiar. Este artigo pretende discutir a economia política do Zika focando nas relações estabelecidas entre Estado e cidadão no que se refere aos cuidados e atendimentos. Enfoca o contexto de vulnerabilidade das famílias afetadas num processo de sobreposição de desigualdades sociais e econômicas, em que as mulheres, mães e cuidadoras, carregam o maior peso social da epidemia.
Processos de inventário, cultura e ações educativas: o inventário do Maracatu-Nação
Authors: Guillen Isabel Cristina Martins , Koslinski Anna Beatriz Zanine
Published: August 2021

O presente artigo tem por objetivo fazer uma reflexão sobre educação patrimonial a partir da experiência desenvolvida no Inventário Sonoro dos Maracatus-Nação de Pernambuco, que contou com a participação de jovens maracatuzeiros como assistentes de pesquisa e auxiliares na produção cultural do projeto. Esta experiência seguiu as indicações do IPHAN quanto à realização de inventários e propostas de planos de salvaguarda, e acreditamos ter contribuído para que os grupos de maracatu-nação conhecessem as políticas públicas voltadas para o patrimônio imaterial e definissem as principais linhas que deverão nortear seu plano de salvaguarda. A experiência é discutida tendo como parâmetros análises desenvolvidas sobre as políticas de memória e de patrimônio em vigência no Brasil, e no mundo, que sinalizam para o presentismo que determina essas políticas públicas.

Optimisation of hybrid micro-grid system for LTE base station
Authors:   , Leholo Sempe Thom
Published: August 2021

This study explores the prospect of powering a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base transceiver station (LTE BTS) with a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) in the rural areas of South Africa. The focus of the study is on harnessing the inherent advantage in HRES which in return reduces the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and operational costs associated with a Diesel Generator (DG) used to power LTE BTS in the rural areas. Moreover, the HRES will help with enhancing stability, reliability, and sustainability of electric power supply to fulfil the required LTE BTS loads. Hence, the proposed HRES consists of Photovoltaic (PV) system, Wind Turbine (WT), a Fuel Cell (FC), Hydrogen Tank (HT), electrolyser, converter, and a Battery Storage (BS) back-up. In addition, the Hybrid Optimisation of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software coupled with Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) software tool were selected for the simulation processes of the HRES. There are two sensitive variables that were inputted into the written codes and available HOMER tool. This was done in order to achieve an optimal result. The two sensitive variables are the PV tilt angle and the WT hub height. Hence, the effects of the PV tilt angle and WT hub height from the PV and WT systems have been infused into the system. By having knowledge of the load requirements of the selected LTE BTS site, two distinct configurations (PV/WT/FC/BS) and (DG/BS) simulation results have been compared, respectively. The simulation results clearly showed that in comparison to the DG/BS system, the proposed PV/WT/FC/BS HRES reduced the Net Present Cost (NPC), and GHG emissions by values of 40% and 100%, respectively. It was observed that the Capacity Shortage Fraction (CSF) was less than 1%, while the other important indicator such as the Renewable Fraction (RF) was increased by 100%. It is clear that the proposed HRES would improve the electric power supply to the LTE BTS at a reduced NPC and acceptable GHG emissions, which in-turn, alleviates excessive costs and environmental effects from GHG emissions.
