TOPSIS based Renewable-Energy-Source-Selection using Moderator Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set
Authors: Joshi Bhagawati , Joshi Navneet , Gegov Alexander
Published: August 2023

Many criteria must be taken into account while selecting the best renewable energy source (RES), which necessitates a sophisticated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) procedure. Conflicting norms, as well as insufficient and inaccurate information, make this endeavour challenging. The theory of moderator intuitionistic fuzzy set (MIFS), a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) has been developed to handle these uncertainties. The MIFS also helps to get a higher degree of precision in the uncertain behaviours due to the moderator parameter. In this paper, first some distance measures are presented for MIFSs, and then, on the basis of the proposed distances, we suggest a TOPSIS technique for choosing the best RES inside MIFS architecture. The efficacy of the proposed MIFS-based TOPSIS technique is put to the test by comparing different wind generating systems in a case study. The findings of the study are then compared in order to demonstrate that the suggested method is superior to the existing ones.
Students with limited health capacities as bullying victims in inclusive school practice
Authors:   Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education «Omsk State Pedagogical University», Omsk, Russia, Chetverikova T. Yu.
Published: August 2023

The author of the article actualizes the problem of bullying of adolescents with limited health capacities by their normatively developing peers, when their education is carried out jointly in the system of inclusive education. The article presents the results of the study. The main form of its implementation was an oral survey. The study participants were 48 schoolchildren with developmental disorders. They constituted a risk group as victims of bullying. The status of a bullying victim was confirmed in 70.8 % of students. They are systematically exposed to aggressive influence, which is initiated by their healthy peers in the context of inclusive school practice. It is reported that verbal forms of aggressive impact on students with limited health capacities dominate. The connection between the nosological group and the risk of becoming a victim of bullying is denied. Schoolchildren with various developmental disorders may be subject to aggressive actions on the part of their healthy classmates. However, students with sensory and mental impairments become victims of bullying more often. Bullying harms the physical, moral, and mental health of students. The risks of bullying in inclusive school practice are reduced if students with normal and impaired development are united in one group from the very beginning of their joint educational activities. The author notes that the condition for preventing and countering bullying in an inclusive school environment is the formation of an inclusive culture among participants in the educational process and inclusive traditions in an educational organization. At the same time, when choosing an inclusive practice as an educational model for students with developmental disorders, it is important to take into account their psychological readiness for joint learning with normotypical peers.

The leading treatment for prostate cancer is radical prostatectomy with variations of access to the affected organ which leads to urinary incontinence in the postoperative period. In order to treat this complication, conservative methods, including a wide range of physical factors, are used. The purpose of the article is to conduct an analytical review of the literature on physical methods of treating urinary incontinence in patients with prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. Materials. The review included data from the following electronic databases: Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, Wiley, World Health Organization, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ScienceDirect, PubMed, eLibrary, CyberLeninka, and disserCat. Results. The research databases include various methods of exercises for the pelvic floor muscles with or without using the method of electromyographic biofeedback, Pilates, general, local, and penile vibratory therapy, transanal, pudendal, and tibial electrical stimulation, electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles and bladder, and extracorporeal magnetic stimulation. Conclusion. It seems impossible to determine the most effective method of rehabilitation due to the large variability of treatment protocols, sample sizes, timing of the start of procedures, techniques, and assessment time points. No study has data on the patients’ catamnesis. Further studies and the search for a drug-free non-invasive method of physical therapy for the rehabilitation of prostate cancer patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy are justified.

Authors: Plate Richard , Monroe Martha , Oxarart Annie
Published: August 2023

Woody biomass is an energy source that may play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One barrier to using wood for energy is public perceptions. This article describes the results of a needs assessment survey that was used to develop a public outreach program. Survey responses from 298 residents of Alachua County, Florida suggest that respondents do not know about using wood for energy, are willing to be engaged in the decision-making process, and are generally in favor of using waste wood as an energy source. Respondents are most concerned about sustaining nearby forests and air quality.

Objective and Impact Statement
: We describe an electroenzymatic mediator (EM) sensor based on an electroenzymatic assembly peak separation strategy, which can efficiently realize the simultaneous detection of 3 typical cardiovascular disease (CVD) metabolites in 5 μl of plasma under one test. This work has substantial implications toward improving the efficiency of chronic CVD assessment.
Introduction
: Monitoring CVD of metabolites is strongly associated with disease risk. Independent and time-consuming detection in hospitals is unfavorable for chronic CVD management.
Methods
: The EM was flexibly designed by the cross-linking of electron mediators and enzymes, and 3 EM layers with different characteristics were assembled on one electrode. Electrons were transferred under tunable potential; 3 metabolites were quantitatively detected by 3 peak currents that correlated with metabolite concentrations.
Results
: In this study, the EM sensor showed high sensitivity for the simultaneous detection of 3 metabolites with a lower limit of 0.01 mM. The linear correlation between the sensor and clinical was greater than 0.980 for 242 patients, and the consistency of risk assessment was 94.6%.
Conclusion
: Metabolites could be expanded by the EM, and the sensor could be a promising candidate as a home healthcare tool for CVD risk assessment.
In vestigation the Impact of Silicon Film Thickness on FDSOI and PDSOI MOSFET Characteristics
Authors: Chowdhury Towhid Adnan
Published: August 2023

The performance of chip is degraded because of the short-channel effect (SCE) as the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) size scales down. Silicon on insulator (SOI) technology helps to reduce the short channel effects and permits a good solution to the miniaturization. The electrical characteristics of fully depleted SOI (FDSOI) and partially depleted SOI (PDSOI) n-channel MOSFET (N-MOSFET) are investigated as silicon film thickness is varied in this paper. Both transistors are compared in terms of electrical parameters which are the threshold voltage, subthreshold slope, on-state current, leakage current and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL). Silvaco TCAD tools are used for simulating both PDSOI and FDSOI MOSFETs. FDSOI MOSFET is superior to PDSOI MOSFET based on found simulation results.

Learning About AI to Learn About Learning: Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Metacognitive Reflection
Authors: Ojeda-Ramirez Santiago , Rismanchian Sina , Doroudi Shayan
Published: August 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become ubiquitous in recent decades, but using AI in education is not a recent idea. Since the emergence of AI, there has been an interest in the relationship between AI and education, not only looking at AI as an applied tool to advance education but also investigating its value as an analogy to human intelligence. In this paper, we build on AI’s power to act as an analogy to human intelligence to conceptualize it as a tool for metacognitive reflection. This idea itself is actually several decades old but it has been largely ignored. Given the recent wave of interest in AI literacy, we position the value that AI can bring in helping children reflect on their own thinking and learning as another rationale for teaching AI, in addition to economic, social, and ethical considerations. Moreover, we propose four different approaches to AI that can serve as metacognitive tools: (1) viewing computation as AI, (2) mainstream data-driven AI, (3) large language models, and (4) computational models of human cognition. We contrast the potential of each strand to promote metacognition and provide some toy problems where AI can foster students’ learning about their own learning.

Marine debris has become a serious threat for the coastal and marine environment. Their presence can degrade the quality of marine environments and also has negative impact on several aspects of people lives especially public health and aesthetics. Several efforts have been made, both short (to mitigate the impacts) and long terms (to manage them properly) efforts. Strategic action in waste management is very important in order to manage marine debris in Manado City; this is the objective of the research. In order to achieve the objective, several aspects on situation and condition of marine debris in Manado Bay has been described, and this include composition and density of debris at the coastal area, the quantity of the debris, waste management on land, the status of public awareness, the impact and degradation of marine debris in nature, institutional regulation, and waste management and planning. These aspects were analyzed to identify strengths and weaknesses before strategic actions for management are developed. The results showed that the composition, density, and quantity of marine debris in Manado Bay increased from 2017 to 2019. Waste management on land has been going well, the government institutions dealing with waste have been adequately arranged. Five strategic actions for waste management in Manado City to prevent the input of the waste to Manado Bay are proposed, they are: a) encouraging people to reduce the use of plastic-based products; b) involving people and community institution in waste management on land; c) increasing the activities of the community and community institution in keeping the environment (river, beach) clean; d) inviting the community and community institutions in working together to develop action programs which will be implemented jointly; and e) improvising the waste management according to existing regulations which include marine debris in specific management target and also incorporating rivers and other areas in waste management according to regulation.

This type of research uses a qualitative descriptive research type, with data collection techniques of interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study explained that the implementation of the Kertajaya Park and Ride had not been carried out properly as seen from the fact that it was not in accordance with the guidelines in force, but when viewed from the delivery of information it was felt to be good enough, but several approaches were needed. In addition, if seen from community participation, it has been said to be quite good, but several more approaches need to be made. this is proven by the fact that there are still many people who do not understand the purpose of organizing the Kertajaya "Park and Ride" and also abuse the Kertajaya Park and Ride facilities. Meanwhile, the distribution of potential on the responsibility and authority of the executor is considered to be quite effective because the division of management is already in the authority and responsibility of each.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: This study explores CSR awareness among the University of Bangladesh students, evaluates perceptions based on socioeconomic and demographic aspects, and considers students' CSR awareness when purchasing a product or applying for a job. Research methodology: First, respondents fill out a questionnaire. The replies are then encoded numerically. The study examines how demographics affect students' CSR attitudes. Quantitative methods are suitable for determining their relationships. Data must be measured mathematically to determine CSR's effect on student decision-making. Results: The study's findings indicate that students have a solid understanding of corporate social responsibility. Also, age affects perceptions, and educational level influences the majority of perceptions, although gender has no impact on students' perceptions. In addition, students typically do not consider the CSR of a company when they purchase a product from that company or apply for a job with that company. Limitations: The questionnaire method of data collection has various drawbacks. Students may dishonestly answer. Emotional responses and feelings cannot be adequately captured in a survey or questionnaire. The problem of selection bias arises when data is taken from a known individual. There are fewer people in the sample than there are in the population. Contributions: Colleges and universities can better evaluate business courses utilizing the study's results. This study can help government agencies coordinate policy-making. Few studies have examined whether students consider a company's CSR when buying a product or applying for a job. This research comments on that problem.
