Hoy en día el uso de las energías renovables está creciendo en todo el mundo debido a que se trata de energías limpias que no impactan negativamente al medio ambiente, no afecta la salud de las personas, y porque contribuye a mejorar la eficiencia energética. Dentro de las energías renovables más usadas se encuentra la energía del viento, la cual se deriva principalmente del movimiento de las masas de aire. Esta energía depende de varios parámetros meteorológicos como lo son velocidad de viento, temperatura, dirección del viento, humedad, presión atmosférica, altura y otros. Para el presente proyecto se escogió las dos variables más influyentes como velocidad de viento y temperatura, las cuales fueron tomadas experimentalmente en 3 sectores de la ciudad Cúcuta, con el fin de crear un modelo que prediga el Recurso Eólico disponible a corto plazo en cada una de las zonas seleccionadas. Para la construcción del modelo se utilizó el enfoque del Aprendizaje Automático en conjunto con la técnica de Redes Neuronales Artificiales. La Red fue entrenada mediante el algoritmo de Retropropagación (del inglés backpropagation) junto con validación cruzada (del inglés cross-validation) para evaluar los resultados del modelo, garantizando la independencia entre datos de entrenamiento y validación. Se utilizaron 300 épocas para entrenar el modelo y las predicciones obtenidas para un rango de 10 minutos presentaron un Error Medio Absoluto (MAE) de 0.02, 0.03 y 0.06 en las zonas de Ceiba, Torcoroma y Belén respectivamente.

El año 2020 fue un año particular en lo que concierne a la enseñanza de la asignatura Química Orgánica. La pandemia estableció un momento histórico único en nuestra práctica educativa, obligándonos a generar innovaciones forzadas. La asignatura Química orgánica se cursa en el segundo semestre del segundo año de las carreras de Ingeniería Industrial y de Petróleos de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. En este contexto de pandemia nos encontramos con 6 semanas menos de cursado, además que éste debería realizarse totalmente de manera virtual, por lo tanto, se hizo imprescindible reinventar las clases para adaptarlas a esta nueva forma de educación remota de emergencia. En este trabajo se relata la experiencia de cursada virtual llevada a cabo en Química Orgánica. Se repensó la manera de impartir las clases y se decidió por clases invertidas mediadas con tecnologías, para ello se utilizaron distintas metodologías como mapas mentales, cuestionarios, evaluación entre pares, realidad aumentada, cuestionarios lúdicos, videos intervenidos con preguntas, entre otras. Las evaluaciones también se realizaron de manera novedosa para la asignatura. Se encuestó a los estudiantes obteniendo una muy buena aceptación de la propuesta. Se espera mantener en un futuro aquellos cambios introducidos en la virtualidad y en la materia en general que fueron superadores.

Simulation is a commonly utilized technique in healthcare education as it provides trainees a realistic, but safe, environment to learn a variety of skills. Trainees belonging to fields known for high stakes with low margins for error, such as cardiac surgery, can greatly benefit from simulation-based education. We propose the establishment of the first multi-tier high fidelity cardiacsurgery simulation lab with a structured curriculum that will eventually provide multidisciplinary training to promising cardiac surgeons across Pakistan. The simulation lab may also be used for research, grant acquisition and patent development. Our setup will include the following levels of simulation: a simple bench model, a virtual reality simulator and a unique human performance simulator. Our multitiered approach allows for appropriate sequential trainee skill progression. Finally, we hope that our model inspires the development of similar curricula and modules for trainees belonging to other surgical fields.

Punctuation Restoration for Speech Transcripts using seq2seq Transformers
Authors: Melamud Aviv , Duran Alina
Published: February 2022

When creating text transcripts from spoken audio, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems need to infer appropriate punctuation in order to make the transcription more readable. This task, known as punctuation restoration, is challenging since punctuation is not explicitly stated in speech. Most recent works framed punctuation restoration as a classification task and used pre-trained encoder-based transformers, such as BERT, to perform it. In this work, we present an alternative approach, framing punctuation restoration as a sequence-to-sequence task and using T5, a pretrained encoder-decoder transformer model, as the basis of our implementation. Training our model on IWSLT 2012, a common punctuation restoration benchmark, we find its performance is comparable to state of the art classification-based systems with an F1 score of 80.7 on the test set. Furthermore, we argue that our approach might be more flexible in its ability to adapt to more complex types of outputs, such as predicting more than one punctuation mark in a row.

Academic Institutions Risk Decisions using Six Thinking Hats Based Analysis
Authors: Rangi Pradeep Kumar , Aithal P. S.
Published: February 2022

Today, almost everyone faces extraordinary health, social, and economic risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As for all industries, academic institutions face unprecedented challenges and are witnessing the change in short-and long-term risk profile due to COVID19, e.g., enhanced information and cybersecurity risk due to the adoption of new collaboration tools, deterioration in the effectiveness of traditional fraud risk mitigants as enrollment and document verifications over email, and increased risk of financial viability. In addition to having a robust risk management framework, it is critical for the institutions to carefully recognize and mitigate these emerging risks, which may have long-term implications on the institution's academic performance and perpetuity. Educational institutions, therefore, must adopt a broad spectrum of thinking methods that allow a practical framework for risk decisions and provide a strong foundation for academic institutions to function and enforce strategies both throughout and after the COVID-19 period. With the help of an example, this paper explores how "Six Thinking Hats" may serve as a decision aid and facilitate the risk decisions in an academic institution around risk appetite, risk identification, risk assessment, control design, and risk monitoring. The "Six Thinking Hats" or colors are all about gaining direction, i.e., what can happen (threat and opportunities; effect and probability) and not merely about explaining the event, what is or what has happened. Risk management being forward-looking, this is a significant risk decision consideration. The paper also analyzes the "Six Thinking Hats" method using the ABCD analysis framework as a research case study.

Biology and Management ofAllokermes kingii(Hemiptera: Kermesidae) on Oak Trees (QuercusSPP.)
Authors: Turner Jay Cee L. , Buss Eileen A.
Published: February 2022

The northern red-oak kermes scale,Allokermes kingii(Cockerell), is a native, gall-like scale insect found on oak trees (Quercusspp.) in the United States. Its feeding causes branch dieback, flagging, reduced growth rates, and occasionally tree death.Allokermes kingiihas one generation a year throughout most of the United States, but we found two generations a year in Florida. It also infestsQ. geminataSmall andQ. virginianaMiller, which represent new host records. The insecticides tested (acephate, bifenthrin, imidacloprid, horticultural oil, and combined acephate and oil) appeared to suppress the nymphal population, but none caused >42% mortality. Very few natural enemies occurred on the study trees, and were thus considered ineffective at reducing the scale population at this site.

This paper evaluates the possibility of determining tree age based on diameter at breast height (dbh, taken at 1.3 m [4.3 ft]), using common lime (linden,Tilia cordata). We first identified and measured groups of trees growing in similar conditions (alleys and roadside trees) whose age was known. We developed a regression model describing the growth of trees over time. Plotting tree age against diameter yielded a correlation coefficientr= 0.962 and determination coefficientr2= 0.926. The resulting model was applied to unrelated groups of trees of known age. The difference between the actual age and mean age calculated with the model was less than 10%. The model was then compared to measurements taken with a Resistograph, with results being highly concordant. The model, although not meant for application to individual trees, might be useful in determining the age of common lime trees growing in alleys and along roads.
27th NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC PRACTICAL CONFERENCE “NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION IN A COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL – 2021”: CONFERENCE REVIEW
Authors: Lamanauskas Vincentas
Published: February 2022

The scientific-practical conference “Natural Science Education in a Comprehensive School - 2021”, which has already become a tradition, was held in an unusual way, remotely (online). This format of the conference was determined by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, so the conference could not take place in the usual format for the second time. This time, the plenary session of the conference was truly international and extremely interesting. In total, four key reports were presented in plenary.
It is fair to say that the plenary has 'united' different continents: Africa (presenter: Dr Angela James from South Africa), Latin America (Dr Solange Locatelli from Brazil), Europe (Dr Mihail Calalb from Moldova and Dr Malgorzata Nodzynska from Poland). It is also interesting that the plenary reports covered all three essential areas of science education - chemistry, physics, biology.
The topics of the reports were various, mainly in various fields of science and technology education. It is important that the participants were active, there were intense discussions and sharing of experiences. All participants acknowledged that education in a pandemic environment is significantly restricted. This applies in particular to various non-formal education activities, or activities that take place outside the regular classroom (e.g. various project activities).
Presentations were also made on the second day of the conference. Dr. Rita Makarskaitė-Petkevičienė (Vilnius University) moderated four presentations. Traditionally, on the second day of the conference, practical seminars were organized for all conference participants. A similar goal was set at this conference - to make all reports useful for all professionals at all levels of education.
Most conference reports were presented in the form of articles and published in the conference proceedings. One can find full texts in the database at: https://oaji.net/journal-archive-stats.html?number=1984&year=2021&issue=18298 It is tentatively scheduled that the 28th Conference will take place on April 29-30, 2022, also remotely.

TEACHER LEADER IN PRESCHOOL INSTITUTION
Authors: Malinauskienė Daiva
Published: February 2022

Research on the phenomenon of leadership in recent years has revealed that attitudes in society towards who can be a leader in education are changing. This is actualized both by the research conducted by researchers and by the Lithuanian strategic educational documents, which emphasize that anyone who ignites their ideas, is committed to change and leads others can be a leader in the organization.
As a result, leadership is no longer confined to school managers. The expression of leadership becomes no less important for every participant in the educational process: teachers, parents, children and other members of the school community.
Today, the school that prepares its students for the future and the entire education system can no longer function according to traditional organizational governance models that recognize one-person management and leadership. Transforming the education system to meet the demands of an ever-changing society on its future members requires not only political will but also education leaders committed to change.
Promoting the leadership of pre-school teachers should be one of the strategic goals of the institution and the pursuit of educational goals and change at both the institutional and national levels. The opportunity for teachers to become involved and participate in the management and change processes of the educational institution, to develop the traits and qualities of a leader allows them to grow both as educational professionals and as personalities.
Coupled Inductor Single-Stage Boost Three-Phase Inverter is used to Create a Transformer Less Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System
Authors: Mr. P. S. Chiramde  , Mr. Sadik Khan
Published: February 2022

This letter presents a modulation technique for the modified coupled-inductor single-stage boost inverter (CL-SSBI)- based grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. This technique can reduce the system leakage current in a great deal and can meet the VDE0126-1-1 standard. To maintain the advantages of the impedance network, only a diode is added in the front of the original topology, to block the leakage current loop during the active vectors and open-zero vectors. On the other hand, the near- state pulse width modulation (NSPWM) technique is applied with one-leg shoot-through zero vectors in order to reduce the leakage current through the conduction path in the duration of changing from and to open-zero vectors. Simultaneously, the leakage current caused by other transitions can also be reduced due to the fact that the magnitude of common-mode voltages is reduced. Simulation results of the transformerless PV system are presented in two cases: modified CL-SSBI modulated by maximum constant boost (MCB) control method and NSPWM. Experimental results for both CL- SSBI topology modulated by the MCB control method and modified CL-SSBI topology modulated by NSPWM are also obtained to verify the accurateness of theoretical and simulation models.

Published: February 2022

Objectives: Peripheral intravenous (IV) access is a standard procedure in clinical settings. Nevertheless, previous studies have indicated that difficult peripheral IV access is prevalent in children. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors contributing to difficult peripheral IV cannulation in children admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Oman. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from September to December 2015 at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Muscat, Oman. Nurses collected data concerning factors contributing to difficult IV access in children. Results: A total of 511 children undergoing cannulation during the study period were included in the analysis. Overall, 23.3% of the children experienced two or more cannulation attempts. The study identified three variables associated with successful cannulation in cases of difficult IV access. Visible veins were 2.72-times (95% CI: 1.58–4.68) more likely to be associated with success (p < 0.001), while palpable veins were 2.22-times (95% CI: 1.29–3.83) more likely to be associated with success (p =0.004). However, scarring from previous IV access attempts was half (95% CI: 0.31–0.77) as likely to be associated with successful cannulation (p =0.002). Conclusions: We identified statistically significant variables related to difficult IV cannulation in children, which we used to develop a prediction tool to assess the likelihood of difficult IV access in pediatric patients. Further research is necessary to validate the use of the difficult IV access prediction tool in this population.
Influence of H2S on the Cyclic Polarization Behavior of 316L Stainless Steel in Oilfield Brines

Published: February 2022

Cyclic polarization measurements were conducted for 316L stainless steel (SS) in a simulated oilfield brine under conditions close to the pass/fail boundary for pitting and stress corrosion cracking of the material but at different partial pressures of H2S, balanced with CO2 to a consistent total pressure. The potential was scanned until a defined anodic current density was achieved, and then reversed to yield insight with respect to the repassivation behavior. The forward scans in many cases showed unexpected additional waves that could not be explained based on complementary studies of H2S oxidation. The electrochemical measurements at varying H2S partial pressure were inconsistent with corrosion coupon testing. These results demonstrate that the use of electrochemical measurements to rank the aggressivity of different sour environments for the purposes of materials selection should be treated with caution.
