Estratégia e Simulação Droop Control Modificado para Controle de Frequência e Tesão em Microrredes
Authors: P. M. Alves Irlete , C. Silva Júnior Dalmo , G. Oliveira Janaína
Published: February 2021

O presente trabalho apresenta a necessidade de uma modificação no \textit{droop control}, controle amplamente utilizado na conexão de inversores a rede. Tal controle é utilizado para manter a potência e a frequência em valores padronizados. Essa modificação tornou-se necessária com a mudança na topologia do sistema elétrico brasileiro, onde o mesmo passou a receber diversas conexões na baixa tensão. Essas conexões não podem utilizar o mesmo controle, visto que o sistema não pode ser simplificado por um sistema majoritariamente indutivo, simplificação essa utilizada na implementação do droop control. O controle proposto é simulado com a utilização do software Matlab/Simulink, onde o sistema utilizado para validação é composto por dois inversores conectados em paralelo alimentando uma mesma carga de forma isolada, carga essa que sofre variações ao longo do tempo.

Authors: Garzón Medina Daniel Orlando , Calixto Lopes Jose , Sousa Thales
Published: February 2021

Electrical demand forecasting is a key tool in making operational and strategic decisions in power companies, whose lack of accuracy can lead to high economic costs. In this sense, forecasting allows network operators to make power dispatch, maintenance program, reliability analysis and operational safety decisions. Therefore, the present work proposed the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to project the demand of the Colombian residential sector. The model presented for the forecast was based on socioeconomic variables obtained from official Colombian government data sources such as population growth, gross domestic product and residential electrical consumption. The work was developed with the aid of the MATLAB® software where a model with appreciable assertiveness margin were proposed.

Authors: Patil Pratap G.
Published: February 2021

Creep and Inverse creep are the important fundamental properties of textile materials. These properties determine the relaxation behavior of the product. We have designed and fabricated an instrument which can measure the creep and inverse creep. The instrument consists of a Trans - Receiver unit interfaced with Embedded System along with the Personal Computer. Existing technique for measuring inverse creep does not measure the instantaneous extension or contraction. The newly fabricated instrument, can measure the instantaneous extension and contraction of the yarn of an accuracy of 0.02%. This can be measured after every 500 µs. The position of the yarn, which is to be hanged, is vertical. The ‘Electronic Timer Unit’, replaces a meter scale. Set up is improved by using electronic utilities. The capability is enhanced to next level of time and distance resolutions. Automation enables to have flexibility of time from microseconds to minutes. Data is stored in different text files. Different samples of Nylon multifilament yarn were used in the experiment. The length and the load were altered. Change in stress lead to instantaneous extension or contraction followed by creep or inverse creep. This can sensed by the sensor and further stored in the memory of the Computer. The percentage creep and inverse creep were measured and have been reported in this present paper. Your paper should be in the same format as this file. The abstract goes here. Your abstract should be a maximum of 200 words here clearly outlining the contribution of your paper. Abstract is in italic fonts.

Authors: Bhat Sruthi , Guddadar Vishwanath
Published: February 2021

The application of nanomedicines is increasing rapidly with the promise of targeted and efficient drug delivery. Nanomedicines address the shortcomings of conventional therapy, as evidenced by several preclinical and clinical investigations indicating site-specific drug delivery, reduced side effects, and better treatment outcome. The development of suitable and biocompatible drug delivery vehicles is a prerequisite that has been successfully achieved by using simple and functionalized liposomes, nanoparticles, hydrogels, micelles, dendrimers, and mesoporous particles. A variety of drug delivery vehicles have been established for the targeted and controlled delivery of therapeutic agents in a wide range of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia, asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding of the characteristics of nanoparticles and their interactions with the biological environment will enable us to establish novel strategies for the treatment, prevention, and diagnosis in many diseases, particularly untreatable ones.

It identifies input images and outputs in audio format the name of the object/person to guide the elderly person. The third feature of the robot is the notifications of daily routine tasks for elder people like reminders for prayer, exercise walk, and medicine intake. Testing results have shown an object and person identification with 95% accuracy.
SMOTEMultiBoost: Leveraging the SMOTE with MultiBoost to Confront the Class Imbalance in Supervised Learning
Authors: Jhamat Naveed Ahmad Khan , Mustafa Ghulam , Niu Zhendong
Published: February 2021

Class imbalance problem is being manifoldly confronted by researchers due to the increasing amount of complicated data. Common classification algorithms are impoverished to perform effectively on imbalanced datasets. Larger class cases typically outbalance smaller class cases in class imbalance learning. Common classification algorithms raise larger class performance owing to class imbalance in data and overall improvement in accuracy as their goal while lowering performance on smaller class. Furthermore, these algorithms deal false positive and false negative in an even way and regard equal cost of misclassifying cases. Meanwhile, different ensemble solutions have been proposed over the years for class imbalance learning but these approaches hamper the performance of larger class as emphasizing on the small class cases. The intuition of this overall degraded outcome would be the low diversity in ensemble solutions and overfitting or underfitting in data resampling techniques. To overcome these problems, we suggest a hybrid ensemble method by leveraging MultiBoost ensemble and Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique (SMOTE). Our suggested solution leverage the effectiveness of its elements. Therefore, it improves the outcome of the smaller class by reinforcing its space and limiting error in prediction. The proposed method shows improved performance as compare to numerous other algorithms and techniques in experiments.

Romantická žárlivost u heterosexuálních a homosexuálních jedinců z pohledu evoluční psychologie
Authors:   Univerzita Karlova, Czech Republic, Potyszová Kateřina , Bártová Klára
Published: February 2021

Jealousy is defined as one of the most common automatic responses to endangering a relationship by a third party, and in evolutionary psychology it has the function of maximizing self-reproduction fitness, ensuring paternity security in men, and maintaining partner's resources in women. These include romantic jealousy, in men assuring certainty of paternity, and in women assuring the maintenance of partner's resources. Thus, according to this logic, a woman’s sexual infidelity should be more threatening for men and a man’s emotional infidelity (emotional involvement with other women than a primary partner) should be more threatening for women. Many previous studies confirm the existence of sex differences in jealousy; men reporting a higher level of sexual jealousy and women reporting a higher level of emotional jealousy. On the contrary, studies of romantic jealousy in homosexual individuals show inconsistent results. Some studies suggest that the type of sexual and emotional jealousy does not depend on the sex of the individual who is jealous, but rather on the sex of the partner or the sex of the rival. Therefore, the aim of this review is to introduce romantic jealousy from an evolutionary perspective and to acquaint the reader with current knowledge of the study of cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects of romantic jealousy in heterosexual and homosexual men and women.

Authors: Amaza I. B.
Published: February 2021

The proximate composition, amino acid, mineral, and Phytochemical content of Cassava peel was determined. The peels were found to contain 8.70 % moisture, 4.89 % crude protein,

8.75 % crude fiber, 2.15 % crude fat, 8.93 % ash. Nitrogen free extract and metabolizable energy values were 66.56 % and 2717.96kcal, respectively. The results of amino acid content revealed that the histidine and tyrosine are the most limiting amino acid with values of 0.005% each. Essential amino acids such as lysine, leucine, methionine and Isoleucine with values of 0.032, 0.067, 0.076 and 0.070% were low. Mineral profile revealed that magnesium (913.74mg/kg) and iron (111.50mg/kg) as the most abundant mineral. Concentrations of phytochemicals were 26.06, 699.8, 0.063, 24.81,8.37,1457mg/100g and 2.84 for saponin, tannin, hydrogen cyanide, phytate, trypsin inhibitors, alkaloid and oxalate respectively. Based on results of this study, cassava peel can be potential source of energy; however, protein and amino acids contents are very low. It is therefore, recommended that feeding of animal with cassava peel based diets be supplemented with good quality amino acids.

 

 

La composition immédiate, l'acide aminé, la teneur minérale et phytochimique de la peau de manioc ont été déterminées.

Published: February 2021

Tuntutan memiliki wind tunnel semakin tinggi di mana wind tunnel bermanfaat untuk mahasiswa teknik yang akan mengadakan penelitian lanjutan yang berkenaan dengan gaya-gaya aerodinamis (drag, lift, side), fenomena aliran udara ataupun tentang pengembangan terowongan angin itu sendiri. Atas dasar tersebut kami bermaksud merancang dan membangun wind tunnel.Sebelum wind tunnel dapat dipakai untuk pengujian gaya-gaya terhadap benda, diperlukan pengujian distribusi kecepatan aliran udara pada wind tunnel. Pengujian distribusi kecepatan aliran wind tunnel biasanya dilakukan dengan menggunakan pipa pitot pembacaan manometer pipa U. Untuk mendapatkan hasil pengukuran yang lebih akurat dan cepat maka pembacaan tekanan diganti dengan sensor tekanan dikombinasikan dengan arduino. Sehingga data yang diperoleh nantinya akan bisa dikonversi otomatis menjadi kecepatan aliran dengan menggunakan program arduino. Setelah dilakukan penelitian pengukuran kecepatan aliran udara dengan menggunakan pipa pitot dan sensor tekanan MPXV7002DP dikombinasikan Arduino hasilnya lebih cepat dan lebih akurat karena dapat mengukur kecepatan yang lebih rendah dibanding manometer pipa U yaitu 2.55 m/s dibanding 4.031 m/s . Akan tetapi jangkauan maksimalya tidak setinggi manometer pipa U karena hanya ternyata hanya mampu membaca kecepatan lebih dari 2.55 m/s sampai 57.64 m/s. Sedangkan manometer pipa U dapat membaca kecepatan lebih dari 57.64 m/s. Hasil pengujian kecepatan aliran udara pada wind tunnel didapatkan bahwa kececepatan minimal aliran udara yang melewati test section adalah 11.81 m/s sedangkan kececepatan maksimal aliran udara yang melewati test section adalah 12.72 m/s. Distribusi kecepatan aliran udara Open Circuit Type Subsonic Wind Tunnel dapat dikatakan seragam tapi belum baik karena setelah diuji dengan Peta I-MR kecepatan aliran masih melewati batas kontrol.

Evangelization is the primary purpose of Catholic education. However,due to the depreciation of moral values brought about by secularismand globalization, the identity and mission of Catholic schools arecompromised. Thus, this paper primarily intended to assess the levelof quality of Catholic education in a Diocesan School in accordance tothe five domains of the Philippine Catholic Schools Standards (PCSS). Aquantitative study was used through a standardized survey questionnaireto gather data from 337 respondents―administrators, teachers,non-teaching personnel, students, and parents of the school. Usingdescriptive and inferential data analyses, the results revealed that theDiocesan school adheres to the quality standards for Catholic educationbut needs to continuously improve to meet the highest possiblestandards. Of the five (5) domains, learning environment was rated highby respondents while leadership and governance ranked low. Moreover,the study showed that parents have significantly higher assessmentcompared to other respondents in terms of assessing the quality Catholiceducation of the institute. The findings further affirmed the importantrole that administrators play in the effective management of school toachieve quality Catholic education and to ensure operational vitality inresponding to its evangelical mission.

Published: February 2021

The present study aimed to investigate the lived experiences of beingHIV positive; to describe common themes of experiences of being HIVpositive; and to analyze the meaning of experiences of being HIV positive.The participants of this study were five HIV-positive men under the careof the Department of Health (DOH) Region VI in Iloilo City. Specifically,they belonged to the United Western Visayas Incorporated (UWVI), acommunity-based group of people living with HIV (PLHIV) based in Iloiloand operating in Panay and Guimaras areas. Narrative writing encouragedthe participants to rummage through emotions tied to being HIV positive.This gave them the chance to revisit strong feelings without divulging theiridentities, thus protecting their anonymity. Eight main textural themesemerged from the lived experiences of these men, namely: disclosureof HIV-positive status; stigma and discrimination attached to HIV; socialsupport from family, friends, and others; depression accompanying thediagnosis; the physical symptoms experienced during seroconversion;antiretroviral therapy after the diagnosis; and HIV advocacy with UWVI.These HIV positive men have metamorphosed, from the acceptanceof their HIV positive status to reinventing their new reality and findingpurpose through their HIV advocacy. The findings suggest implications forsupportive counseling to provide empathy, support and encouragement,and developing specific coping strategies with PLHIV.

Authors: Almayo, OAR Ernil F. , Juplo Myrna E.
Published: February 2021

This qualitative research using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) explores the brand experience of Recoletos Education in the Philippines. Two levels of interpretation are generated: that of the participants who make sense of their brand experience as lived experience and that of the researcher who makes sense of the participants’ interpretations. Validated transcripts from in-depth interviews reveal the participants’ convergent and divergent interpretations of their brand experience. Rigid thematic analysis helps construct a master table of themes with four superordinate themes expressed through metaphors: the house on rock, the shepherd with his flock, the good fruit, and the strong winds and the big waves, and these, in turn, correspond to brand attributes, synergy and strategy, brand experience dimensions, and brand challenges, respectively. Finally, these themes reveal and comprise the single overarching theme: the key elements in the brand landscape of Recoletos Education.

Authors: Lwi L Bawm
Published: February 2021

This is a qualitative study which investigated how teachers demonstrate "learner-centered" classroom instruction and how they are influenced by the school principal as a transformational leader in promoting a learner-centered classroom. The respondents were eight participants who were chosen based on their purposive experiences and had been teaching at the Elementary School of Silliman University. Face to face interviews provided the primary method of data collection with the selected teachers comprising the primary source of data. This study shows that teachers' opinions concerning their principal's transformational leadership behaviors are positive in general. The results revealed that the teachers perceive their principal as transformational leadership influential in creating or maintaining a classroom with a "learner-centered" instruction. The findings signify that there is a shift among the teachers from positional leadership to fluid, teamwork, collaborative, and emergent leadership that is spread across teachers. This was evident from the teachers' perspective, which described the leadership as cooperative, supportive, trusting, participatory, democratic decision-making, empowering, shared management, and professional learning communities. In school, therefore, teachers and principal work together to develop effective learner-centered classroom practices, and they study together what things work useful in the classroom.

Published: February 2021

Few studies focus on measuring the morphemic and semantic analyses skills of learners. Thus, this descriptive-comparative study aimed to find out the level of morphemic and semantic analyses skills and if a significant difference exists in the levels of morphemic and semantic analyses skills of 359 senior high school students as a whole and grouped according to grade level, track, and sex. Results showed low morphemic and average semantic analyses skills, a non-significant difference in both morphemic and semantic analyses skills when students were grouped according to grade, but a significant difference in both skills when grouped by track and sex. Despite the students' better semantic analysis than morphemic analysis skills, they still need heavy to light intervention and enhancement to develop their skills further. Thus, a vocabulary building module was designed for the senior high school students.
Augustinian Recollect History of Siquijor (1794-1898)
Authors: Cuesta Angel Martinez
Published: February 2021

During the Spanish rule Siquijor Island was under the alcalde mayor of Bohol in 1864, after being part of Cebu for decades. The lone town of Siquijor was separated from Dumaguete and created into a parish in 1781. It was handed over to the Recollects in 1794 and in 1800 it had 5,000 inhabitants. The growth of Christianity finds its roots in the intense systematic missionary activity by Augustinian Recollects who established four more parishes. They constructed stone churches, belfries, kumbentos, roads, municipal edifices and even water depositories. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the towns underwent cholera and smallpox outbreaks, typhoons, Moro piratical raids, locust plagues and earthquakes (1886, 1897). During famine, the Recollects distributed corn among parishioners. Juan Félix de la Encarnación, author of the iconic Diccionario español bisaya, bisaya español, served Siquijor for thirty years. The huge kumbento of Lazi was completed by Toribio Sánchez in 1891.

The data were collected using a researcher-made instrument and analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, and Pearson r. The findings of the study unveiled that students exhibited a high level of awareness, a very positive attitude, and a great extent of practice on SWM regardless of sex and academic level. Also, a significant relationship was found between awareness and practice and sex and academic level of students. Meanwhile, no relationship was found between attitude and sex and academic level. In addition, awareness, attitude, and practice on SWM were correlates. Finally, it indicated that awareness and attitude significantly predict the practice of SWM. It further provided baseline information in designing a comprehensive and effective SWM program to mitigate the problem of solid waste in the school.
The Archbishopric of Manila Meets the Challenge of Shepherding Its Laity to Spiritual Maturity (1953-1963)
Authors: Magpantay Melanie J. , Hila Antonio C.
Published: February 2021

This study discusses, narrates, and analyzes how Archbishop Rufino Santos continued the work started by the country’s first native Archbishop of Manila, Gabriel M. Reyes, in steering the archbishopric to attain its full spiritual maturity. The research used the historical method guided by Arnold Toynbee’s Challenge and Response Theory identifying the Archbishop of Manila as the “creative personality” whose responses to the challenges of the post-war Archdiocese of Manila formed a “creative minority” who helped him respond to the challenges during his stewardship. As the "creative personality," Archbishop Santos led a series of responses that began to stir the social awakening of the Catholic Church in the Philippines to make it responsive to the social issues affecting the Filipinos. These responses allowed Archbishop Santos to elevate the Catholic Action movement to include socio-political concerns, thereby awakening the laity's socio-political consciousness and linking this to their Filipino Catholic identity.
Augustinian Recollect Legacy to the Church in Negros Island
Authors: Romanillos Emmanuel Luis A.
Published: February 2021

The Recollects' arrival in 1848 impacted every aspect of life in Negros. Their enthusiasm, supported by affluent immigrants, contributed decisively to a climate of optimism and progress, placing Negros at the forefront of colonial provinces. Their evangelization effort converted countless unbelievers, settled later in new parishes. The Christian heritage of faith is deeply etched in Negrenses and settlers. The building legacy of Mauricio Ferrero, Manuel Gómara, Felipe Lerena—the cathedrals of Bacolod, San Carlos, Kabankalan—lives on. The pastoral work of Gregorio Espiga, Fernando Cuenca, Mariano Bernad is indelible in the annals of history. The educational apostolate in Bacolod, San Carlos, Valencia, Bayawan is reflected in their alumni in public service, business, and religious or priestly ministry. Forever we cherish the sojourn of Saint Ezekiel Moreno, Blessed Martín de San Nicolás, and Blessed José Rada, who touched the lives of our forefathers in Talisay, Binalbagan, and La Carlota.

What Actually Differs between Traditional Teaching and Sport Education in Students’ Learning Outcomes? A Critical Systematic Review
Authors: Bessa Cristiana , Hastie Peter , Ramos Ana , Mesquita Isabel
Published: February 2021

This systematic review aimed to examine the main findings concerning to the investigations focused on compare, within Physical Education context, the influence of Sport Education (SE) and Traditional Teaching (TT) on students’ learning outcomes. A literature search was conducted on nine electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, SCOPUS, Academic Search Ultimate, ERIC, Education Source, APA PsycINFO and APA PsycARTICLES). Inclusion criteria were defined before the selection process. Accordingly, were only included articles that (i) were published in peer-reviewed international journals indexed in Journal Citation Reports or Scientific Journal Rankings; (ii) were available in full-text; (iii) were published in English, Portuguese or Spanish; (iv) were performed within Physical Education context; and (v) provided specifically a comparison between the effects of SE and TT on students’ learning outcomes. Globally, twenty-eight studies met the inclusion criteria. The manuscripts’ methodological quality was assessed through Downs and Black checklist, with all studies displaying moderate quality. Results showed that comparisons among SE and TT tend to analyze team sports activities sampling high-school students via quasi-experimental designs, with more than half of them were published over the past five years. Also, these investigations typically focused on the differences between both models on the development of personal and social skills, as well as its impact on the motor and cognitive domains. In this respect, although the results tend to point out increases in both SE and TT, superior values are achieved when SE is implemented. The analysis of the teaching-learning process using alternative research methods and designs (i.e., experimental studies, qualitative data, longitudinal analysis, action-research and case studies), longer units with appropriate planning, and the report of model’s fidelity so that robust findings can endorse the teachers’ praxis, must be a concern in future studies.
The Accuracy of a Low-Cost GPS System during Football-Specific Movements
Authors: Schulze Emiel , Julian Ross , Skorski Sabrina
Published: February 2021

An affordable player monitoring solution could make the evaluation of external loading more accessible across multiple levels of football (soccer). The present study aimed to determine the accuracy of a newly designed and low-cost Global Positioning System (GPS) whilst performing match-specific movement patterns. Sixteen professional male football players (24 ± 3 years) were assigned a GPS device (TT01, Tracktics GmbH, Hofheim, Germany) and completed two experimental trials. In each trial, a continuous protocol including seven movements (sideways cornering, diagonal cornering, accelerating, decelerating, backwards jogging, shuttle running, and skipping) adding up to 500 m, was completed. Time-motion data was compared with criterion distance and velocity (photo-cell timing gates and radar). Validity was assessed through the standard error of the estimate (SEE) and reliability through the coefficient of variation (CV; both with 95% confidence limits). For the total distance covered during the protocol, the system was found to be valid (SEE = 3.1% [2.2; 5.8]) and reliable (intra-device CV = 2.0% [1.2; 7.6]). Similar results were found for velocity (SEE = 3.4% [2.6; 4.8], CV = 4.7% [3.2; 8.5]). In conclusion, the present GPS system, a low-cost solution, was found to be a valid and reliable tool for measuring physical loading during football-specific movements.
