Authors: Gutiérrez Jiménez Olga
Published: December 2024

Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado evalúa la inclusión de las actividades acuáticas en el
currículo escolar de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria en Calahorra, La Rioja, y su impacto
en el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes. La investigación se centra en comparar dos
centros educativos: uno que incluye la natación en su programa y otro que no lo hace. La
natación es una habilidad vital que promueve el bienestar físico, emocional y social. Los
beneficios de la natación destacados en el estudio incluyen mejoras en la salud
cardiovascular, control del peso, fuerza muscular, flexibilidad, bienestar mental y seguridad
en el agua. Sin embargo, se identificaron varias barreras para su implementación, tales como
la falta de instalaciones adecuadas, el coste económico, el tiempo necesario dentro del
horario escolar, y la formación del profesorado. En particular, la ausencia de piscinas
cubiertas en los centros escolares y la insuficiencia de instalaciones cercanas fueron
mencionadas como desafíos logísticos significativos.
Trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) :
Authors: García Conde Teresa
Published: December 2024

El Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) es una de las necesidades que puede presentar el alumnado en las aulas, causando dificultades en el desarrollo de los mismos, especialmente a nivel comunicativo y social.
Los maestros especializados en necesidades educativas especiales(NEE) deben ayudar a estos niños a conseguir un aprendizaje lo más óptimo posible, a darles voz en clase, conectarles con sus compañeros, ayudarles a desenvolverse en su entorno social y fomentarlo; pero también es nuestra labor aportar los conocimientos y pautas necesarias al resto de profesorado, con el objetivo de conseguir el mejor clima posible en el aula, y por supuesto, a las familias a quienes les afecta gravemente tener un hijo con TEA.
El presente trabajo pretende ofrecer la información que se considera más relevante, para que el profesorado de las distintas áreas que se imparten en un colegio ordinario, sea capaz de conocer las características del alumnado TEA y, sentirse preparados para adaptar sus clases y no tener miedo a enfrentarse a la situación.
Efectos de la potenciación post-activación sobre el rendimiento en ciclistas de ruta /
Authors: Hernández Muriel Francisco José
Published: December 2024

Durante los últimos años en el ciclismo de ruta están surgiendo nuevas prácticas relacionadas
con el calentamiento o activación de los deportistas que buscan optimizar el rendimiento. Desde
protocolos sobre la bicicleta más tradicionales hasta chalecos de frio para lograr ajustar el incremento
de temperatura y así obtener las óptimas condiciones del ciclista en la competición. Por otra parte,
cada vez hay más evidencia de que la mejora de la fuerza mejora el rendimiento de ciclistas de ruta
(Rønnestad et al, 2015) y además hacerlo durante toda la temporada competitiva y no solo en
pretemporada o durante otros periodos alejados de las competiciones para no perder las
adaptaciones.
Parece claro que tanto el calentamiento como el entrenamiento de fuerza son prácticas
necesarias para el desempeño de este deporte, pero ¿hasta qué punto puede ayudar o interferir un
calentamiento-activación para una competición o entrenamiento de un ciclista de ruta si añadimos
ejercicios de fuerza?

Authors: Hidalgo Francisco Natalia
Published: December 2024

El bullying, se define como un comportamiento agresivo y repetitivo con desequilibrio de poder, donde un individuo o grupo intimida o controla a otro, impactando en la salud mental y emocional de la víctima. Se manifiesta de diversas formas, física, verbal o social. El auge de las tecnologías, ha potenciado el acoso, dando lugar al ciberbullying, que ocurre a través de los recursos digitales y de las redes sociales. Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado busca capacitar a la comunidad educativa en la comprensión y prevención del acoso escolar, proporcionando conceptos teóricos sobre el bullying y ciberbullying, su evolución, definiciones, factores de riesgo, agentes implicados, detección y estrategias y recursos para abordar el acoso en las aulas. Además, se analizan estudios estadísticos que muestran los parámetros y porcentajes de acoso escoso escolar en las aulas de educación primaria, destacando como las personas con discapacidad enfrentan un mayor riesgo a ser víctimas. Los estudios muestran que un 80% de los niños de educación primaria con discapacidad han experimentado algún tipo de acoso, debido a las diferencias en habilidades o la exclusión social. Para finalizar, se destaca la importancia de la capacitación docente para abordar eficazmente el acoso escolar, especialmente en el contexto de las necesidades educativas específicas (NEE). Por ello se propone un programa de formación para el profesorado de educación primaria, diseñado para mejorar su comprensión del acoso escolar y su capacidad para identificar, prevenir y abordar el acoso, dirigido en particular a los estudiantes con discapacidad, buscando un entorno escolar inclusivo y seguro.

Authors: Jiménez Martín Paula
Published: December 2024

El presente Trabajo de Fin de Grado explora y analiza los beneficios que el ejercicio
físico aporta a la calidad de vida (CV) de las pacientes con cáncer de mama, una enfermedad
altamente prevalente entre las mujeres a nivel mundial. A pesar de los avances en diagnóstico
y tratamiento, el impacto físico y emocional de esta enfermedad sigue siendo significativo,
afectando profundamente la CV de las pacientes incluso después del tratamiento primario. La
CV no se limita a la ausencia de la enfermedad, sino que también abarca factores físicos,
psicológicos y sociales.
Un aspecto crucial de este trabajo es el estudio del rol del ejercicio físico en pacientes
con cáncer de mama. Se explica cómo la actividad física puede funcionar como un método
preventivo, una terapia complementaria durante el tratamiento y una intervención en la fase de
recuperación. Los beneficios del ejercicio son diversos: mejora la condición física, disminuye
el estrés, la depresión y la ansiedad, eleva la autoestima y proporciona un bienestar general
tanto físico como mental.
Atención al alumnado con NEAE : INTERVENCIÓN EDUCATIVA EN TEA.”
Authors: López Couto Beatriz
Published: December 2024

La prevalencia de alumnado con NEAE en las aulas ha crecido exponencialmente en los últimos años. Concretamente, dentro del alumnado con NEE, el Trastorno del Espectro Autista destaca por ser la categoría más numerosa. Por ello, la formación de esta neurodivergencia por parte del profesorado comienza a tener un papel primordial. Por un lado, el conocimiento de sus características y signos precoces en el desarrollo, permitirá a los profesores hacer una detección temprana y ponerlo en conocimiento al equipo de orientación del centro. Por otro, conocer las principales técnicas y estrategias educativas a implantar con este alumnado, les permitirá poder adaptar el entorno y cubrir sus necesidades. Así, dentro de estas técnicas y modelos, estudios demuestran la efectividad de la metodología TEACCH y el uso de SAAC en la intervención en alumnado con TEA. Los nuevos enfoques basados en la metodología inclusiva, muestran que estrategias como la docencia compartida o la intervención medida por pares resultan exitosos como medidas de atención a la diversidad, aumentando la calidad de la atención recibida por parte del alumnado y disminuyendo también las percepciones de angustia e impotencia percibidas por parte del profesorado.

Published: December 2024

Были изучены показатели ритмической активности сердца у детей младшего школьного возраста в покое и после кратковременной физической нагрузки. У детей записывали длительные электрокардиограммы, чтобы получить серию из последовательных сердечных циклов в состоянии покоя и после нагрузки. В дальнейшем последовательные ряды из серии кардиоинтервалов использовали для расчета параметров вариабельности сердечного ритма.
Было выявлено, что в состоянии покоя у детей значение частоты сердечных сокращений находилось в пределах нормы, а значение индекса напряжения в покое указывало на симпатикотонию. После двигательной пробы значение большинства исследованных параметров вариабельности сердечного ритма у детей значимо изменились. Сдвиги параметров ритмической активности после нагрузки указывают на преобладание симпатических влияний на работу сердца. Значение индекса напряжения после нагрузки свидетельствовало о перенапряжении центральных нервных механизмов регуляции работы сердца.

Published: December 2024

Historically, the Pyrenean border has been characterized by fulfilling functions of separation and exchange, for dividing and sharing the territory, at the same time. The population flows that have rushed to both sides the border confirm their permeability and the people contact who used the mountains for an international transit, making of the Pyrenees an exceptional space for encounters and exchanges. This article is dedicated to the study of the porous nature of this border between 1940 and 1945, but also to the resistant structures that assisted people who crossed it and to the vigilance that affected them fortifying the border. Those are the key-elements of my article, which I present from a transnational perspective.
Sociolinguistic Conditions of Functioning of the Welsh Variant of English (Wenglish)
Authors:   AEM ( Azerbaijan Science Center ), Hasanova Aysel
Published: December 2024

Geographical differences in the usage of the Welsh dialect of English (Wenglish) and its relationship to Standard English are examined in this article. The author examines two distinct trends that contribute to the shifts in Standard English and the dialect. Following the identification of several Wenglish-speaking regions, comparative analysis is used to look at the geographical variations in Wenglish based on the region of Wales. Based on a speaker's age and place of residence, usage by Welsh and Wenglish speakers is examined. It is observed that younger Wenglish speakers are moving away from the traditional dialect due to pressure from contemporary society, fashion, and globalization, while elder speakers of the language tend to employ a more conservative variation. From a historical, cultural, and linguistic perspective, comparisons to different forms of English are made. Given the regional differences in Wenglish, the author concludes that Wenglish is a distinct language phenomena and poses the question of which forms might be regarded as the standard. All forms are said to be legitimate, but some are so widely accepted that they are used more frequently than the others and are thus advised to be "correct."

Настоящая работа посвящена получению нанокатализаторов на основе природного минерала клиноптилолита, а также переходных металлов никеля и палладия на полимерном носителе в качестве потенциального катализатора для селективного гидрирования бензола в циклогексан. Полимерно-иммобилизованные металлокомплексы сочетают в себе преиму­щества двух типов катализаторов (и гомогенного, и гетерогенного), минимизируя их недостатки. Они показывают высокую эффективность и лучшую воспроизводимость. Полу­чение гибридных материалов на основе природных минералов, а также металл-полимерных нанокомпозитов имеет решающую роль при получении высокоэффективных катализаторов. Гибридные нанокомпозиты, как правило, обладают механической прочностью, термической стабильностью, высокими термохимическими свойствами и т.д. Таким образом, в работе были синтезированы нанокомпозиты на основе поливинилпирролидона (ПВП) и переходных металлов никеля Ni (II) и палладия Pd (II) в процентном содержании металлов 5, 10 и 15 % относительно полимера. Затем полученные образцы были идентифицированы с помощью физических методов и, с их использованием, синтезированы системы металл-полимер-ми­

нерал гидротермальным методом. Комплекс Ni-ПВП является одним из наиболее известных металлополимерных комплексов. Это соединение хорошо известно своими важными катали­тическими свойствами и полезным применением во многих различных отраслях промыш­ленности. Благодаря своим особым свойствам, к которым относятся повышенная твердость, повышенная каталитическая активность и лучшая термическая стабильность, комплексы ПВП-Ni подходят для широкого спектра применений, в особенности при проведении каталитических процессов. Их каталитическая эффективность объясняется стабильностью никеля в активном состоянии и равномерной дисперсией ионов никеля внутри полимерной матрицы. Добавление минерала клиноптилолита в структуру комплекса, предполагается, что повысит селективность реакции, увеличивая выход целевого продукта.

Information about the secondary flow formed at the junction is crucial for identifying areas vulnerable to erosion. This study aims to build a water flow simulation at a two-channel junction with varying angles using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The goal of the simulation is to analyze the velocity changes on each variation of angles (90°, 70°, 50°, 30°, and 10°) on the two-channel junction. The validation of these flow patterns is significantly connected to the reference data. The secondary flow is formed as the impact of the velocity changes, and the main channel flow meets the branch channel flow. The flow patterns at the 90° junction exhibit similar formation, as evidenced by secondary zones formed around the junction, such as the contraction and separation zones. The contraction zone forms in areas near junctions with high-velocity values, while the separation zone develops in areas where velocity decreases due to the impact of two flows. This study found that CFD effectively analyses velocity changes on two-channel junctions.
Constructing the image of ancient cities and the art of place-making through cultural, archeological, and architectural interpretations
Authors: Teba Tarek
Published: December 2024

The image of the city is an important notion in urban studies that has been discussed by different scholars and from different tangible and intangible perspectives. In the case of ancient cities that come to us in ruined and fragmented conditions, the image of the city can be a useful vehicle for understanding these sites and their values. Understanding and reconstructing the image of ancient cities helps in illustrating the past civilizations’ art of crafting their urban agglomerations and how their social and cultural values inform this art practice. Therefore, this article develops theoretical discussion around the image of ancient cities, through which valuable architectural, urban, social, and cultural dimensions are extrapolated and consequently, the socio-urban structure and image of these cities can be interpreted and articulated. Taking the city of Ugarit, an archeological site of a Bronze Age capital city in Syria, as a case study, the article employs an in-depth exploration of archeological reports and discovered text, alongside onsite architectural and urban analysis and observations, to construct the unique urban and architectural image of the city and the underpinning political, socioeconomic and cultural dimensions that shaped it over time. The work contributes to unveiling the Ugaritic people’s art and architecture practices that informed their final place-making and the image of their city. The article concludes with the construction of the overall internal and external images of the city of Ugarit and consequently informs the future urban conservation and tourism strategies of the whole site, and accordingly individual areas and structures.
Cognitive and autonomic dysfunction associated with a novel RYR2 variant: A case report
Authors: Miranda Leilani , Power Liam , Ho Justin , Edmiston Charly , Vaou Okeanis , Hohler Anna
Published: December 2024

Variants in the ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) gene are primarily associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. However, recent studies have also identified potential links to neurological pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease, benign epilepsy of childhood, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Despite these findings, there is limited data on the association between RYR2 variants and additional neurological symptoms, such as autonomic dysfunction. This case report describes the clinical progression of a father-son pair, who carry a novel pAsn2517Ser variant in the RYR2 gene, identified through genetic studies. The report highlights distinct neurological manifestations in both individuals: the father exhibited Alzheimer’s-like cognitive dysfunction, while the son presented with an autonomic disorder. This case aims to provide additional information on the role of RyR2 in the brain and the symptomatology associated with pathological variants. Given that both father and son share the same RYR2 mutation, the observed neurological manifestations are likely attributable to this genetic alteration. These cases offer novel clinical insights into the role of cytoplasmic calcium regulators and their impact on the neurological system.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major global health issue, with current treatments often insufficient for addressing long-term cardiac damage. Stem cell therapy provides a promising alternative by potentially repairing damaged heart tissue and improving cardiac function. This review highlights recent advancements in stem cell applications for CVDs, focusing on heart tissue regeneration using various cell types, including mesenchymal stem cells and the newly discovered very small embryonic-like stem cells. Each cell type has unique characteristics that contribute to heart regeneration. Combining these cells with appropriate natural, synthetic, or decellularized scaffolds creates environments that better mimic the heart, resulting in improved outcomes. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/Cas9 gene editing technology advances these efforts by enabling precise genetic modifications. Despite these advancements, challenges such as cell culture variability, biomaterial selection, and clinical protocol standardization remain. Continued research and clinical trials are crucial to overcome these challenges and integrate stem cell therapies into standard cardiac care.
Atrial fibrillation and risk of cognitive impairment and dementia: Relationships, potential mechanisms, and current therapies
Authors: Guo Jiahuan , Zhao Xingquan
Published: December 2024

Atrial fibrillation (AF), cognitive impairment, and dementia are significant health concerns. The prevalence and incidence of AF have been increasing and are expected to increase continuously in the future. In recent years, emerging evidence has indicated that AF, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia are associated with one another. Given the global increase in individuals who are at risk for AF, a greater focus is needed on the primary and secondary prevention of cognitive impairment and dementia in high-risk groups. Although earlier studies hypothesized that ischemic stroke is the main cause of cognitive impairment and dementia in patients with AF, recent studies have demonstrated that AF may contribute to cognitive impairment in the absence of stroke through other mechanisms. To date, various pathomechanisms have been proposed to explain the association between AF and cognitive decline, including overt ischemic stroke, silent cerebral infarctions, impaired cerebrovascular reactivity, decreased cerebral blood perfusion, neuroinflammation, microbleeds, and shared risk factors. However, a complete understanding of these mechanisms remains elusive. In addition, whether treatments targeting AF, including anticoagulation and rhythm control strategies, can avert cognitive decline and dementia has great clinical implications. To pave the way for targeted effective interventions for cognitive protection, we provide an overview of the association between AF and cognitive impairment and the potential mechanisms underlying this association. In addition, the effectiveness of AF-related treatment strategies, including anticoagulation, sinus rhythm restoration through elective cardioversion and catheter ablation, for cognitive protection in patients with AF is also discussed in this review.

Primary tumors can precondition a pre-metastatic niche, promoting the colonization of circulating neoplastic cells and influencing the secondary tumor microenvironment. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the formation of this niche, as well as perineural invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), are not well-elucidated. The study aims to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and related pathways associated with pre-metastatic niche and perineural invasion in OSCC. We evaluated metastatic and non-metastatic primary tumor samples, healthy oral tissues, OSCC samples, metastatic lymph nodes from patients with OSCC, and normal lymph node samples. The GEO2R tool was applied to identify mRNAs differentially expressed between tissues exhibiting features of a pre-metastatic niche and normal tissue samples, including selected non-metastatic and metastatic OSCC samples. We also performed an analysis of perineural invasion-negative and perineural invasion-positive tumor samples. Our data revealed that SERPINE1, SPP1, CALCA, and MMP13 genes were upregulated. These upregulated genes are associated with several cancer-related pathways, while downregulated genes are mainly associated with immune responses, axon guidance, and the neurotrophin signaling pathway. Given the upregulation of the circadian rhythm pathway in metastatic lymph nodes, we also performed a correlation analysis that allows users to compute function-specific parameters, with resulting figures dynamically displayed to conveniently access the tumor’s immunological, clinical, and genomic features. Downregulation of the circadian rhythm gene PER3 and upregulation of Bhlhe40 were associated with poor survival outcomes. In conclusion, we postulate that during lymph node invasion, OSCCs activate axonal guidance genes, such as SERPENE1, L1AM, CXCR4, and SPP1. As neoplastic cells establish themselves, circadian rhythm genes are upregulated, contributing to immune evasion and promoting tumor growth.

Epimedii herba (EH) showed numerous activities and has the potential to treat periodontitis. However, the pharmacological mechanism has not been exhaustively elucidated. This study predicted the specific targets and mechanisms of EH to prevent and treat periodontitis. A traditional Chinese medicine system pharmacology database and analysis platform was used to screen key compounds of EH and their corresponding targets. Therapeutic Target Database and Comparative Toxicogenomics Database were used to identify targets related to periodontitis. Intersection targets were observed using a Venn diagram. The key components and corresponding protein targets of EH were searched. The intersection targets were obtained and then they were imported into the STRING database to construct a PPI network. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed. Molecular docking between the screened chemical components of EH and key targets was performed using Discovery Studio 2019. The binding stability between components and target proteins was confirmed using molecular dynamics simulations. The binding stability between components and target proteins was confirmed using molecular dynamics simulations. Through network pharmacological analysis, 23 active compounds of EH were identified, including kaempferol and icariin. Based on GeneCards, GEO, and other databases, 3291 periodontitis-related genes were obtained. Venn diagram analysis revealed 137 intersection targets of EH and periodontitis, and Protein kinase B (AKT1) and Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were identified as the key targets of EH for periodontitis treatment. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the primary pathways mediating the therapeutic effects of EH were related to cancer, lipid, and atherosclerosis. Molecular docking showed that 8-isopentenyl-kaempferol had the best binding ability to ESR1, which was confirmed by dynamics simulations. This study demonstrated that EH can be used for periodontitis treatment, and the corresponding targets and potential mechanisms were investigated based on network pharmacology, molecular docking, and dynamics simulation analysis. Notably, 8-isopentenyl-kaempferol exhibited good binding affinity and stability to ESR1, which may partially explain the molecular mechanisms of EH for treating periodontitis. Hence, EH can be a novel choice for the clinical treatment of periodontitis in the future.

The prevalence of single motherhood, associated with adverse maternal and child health outcomes, is now increasing rapidly across Nigerian states. The distribution of single mothers could vary widely across geographical settings in highly heterogeneous Nigerian states with diverse sociocultural, religious, and ethnic beliefs, which are some of the drivers of parenting styles. Using cross-sectional data from four waves of the Nigeria Demographic Health Survey, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of single motherhood across Nigerian states. Within a Bayesian context, we considered a binomial likelihood for the single motherhood variable and included the categorical variables as linear effects. The metrical covariate, the age of the women, was modeled assuming a second-order random walk prior, while the state random effect was modeled using a Gaussian intrinsic conditional autoregressive prior. The findings indicate strong spatial clustering that shows a North-South divide over time, with high chances of single motherhood recorded in most southern states. These spatial distributions persisted after accounting for the observed covariates, indicating that the clustering serves as a proxy for other indicators that exert an unmatched influence on the prevalence of single motherhood across geographic settings. We found that Christian women are more prone to single motherhood compared with Muslim women. Similarly, educational attainment, household wealth index, urban residency, and ethnicity are predictors of single motherhood in Nigeria. Interventions to ease the burden of single motherhood in Nigeria could be more impactful if states in the southern fringe are given priority.

Published: December 2024

In this work, we introduce a new SEVIR epidemic model to analyze the dynamics of infectious diseases by incorporating the key compartments such as susceptible, exposed, vaccinated, infected, and recovered populations. We add the vaccination compartment in the current model and calculate the consequences concerning the disease spreading; it is significantly relevant at the present day considering the general policies of worldwide vaccinations. For a stringent assessment of stability, it should involve derivation of a basic reproduction number, as this parameter characterizes whether an infection will be spread at all. Our results demonstrate that when we have R0 < 1, the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable, which implies that an infection will eventually die out. We also identify two distinguished disease-dependent equilibrium points for the first time, giving much deeper insight into long term behavior of the disease. Numerical simulations show the efficacy of vaccination toward reducing the newly infected individuals and suggest the model can predict stabilization for all compartments over time. The exposed and recovered population increases and stabilizes as the susceptible, infected, and vaccinated populations decline. In this regard, these are valuable insights into the progression of epidemics and put emphasis on vaccination programs. Our model provides a perspective on disease control by taking into account the interplay between vaccination and infection dynamics. It can be very useful for predicting future outbreaks and can guide public health policy. Future work will extend the model by adding quarantine measures to further hone our understanding of disease transmission.

This study investigates the role of instructional leadership in implementing and succeeding Teachers' Continuous Professional Development (TCPD) programs in primary schools within Tanzania's Mkuranga District. Through a systematic literature review, the research underscores the critical importance of instructional leadership in shaping educational quality and student outcomes. The data was collected systematically from databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, Research Gate, and PubMed were selected due to their extensive collections of peer-reviewed journals, articles, and conference papers. This review synthesizes findings from 18 selected articles published between 2010 and 2024, focusing on administrators' and teachers' perceptions of instructional leadership, its influence on TCPD program implementation, challenges faced by administrators, and strategies for improving instructional leadership in primary schools. The review reveals that effective instructional leaders articulate a clear vision for educational improvement, align professional development with school goals, and foster a culture of collaboration and continuous learning. Despite the recognized benefits, challenges such as inadequate funding, resistance to change, and administrative turnover hinder TCPD implementation. The study offers strategic recommendations, including targeted training for leaders, professional learning communities, resource allocation, monitoring and evaluation, and community engagement, to enhance instructional leadership and TCPD effectiveness
Vehicle-to-Grid Power Transfer Method for Electric Vehicles using off-board charger

Published: December 2024

This article explores a power transfer technique from vehicle to grid (V2G) via the construction of an off-board charger for electric cars (EVs). The charger accommodates several charging modes, such as grid-to-vehicle (G2V), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), facilitating efficient and adaptable energy management. In G2V mode, the charger utilizes grid power to recharge electric vehicle batteries, whilst V2V mode enables direct energy transfer between electric vehicles, circumventing the grid. The novel integration of G2V and V2V modes enables the concurrent use of grid electricity and energy from other electric vehicles, therefore diminishing grid reliance and enhancing power efficiency. The system has a three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier that sustains a constant DC link voltage and attains a unity power factor on the grid side, therefore adhering to the IEEE 519 standard for total harmonic distortion (THD). Furthermore, a half-bridge bidirectional DC/DC converter guarantees consistent charging and discharging currents, hence improving the reliability and efficiency of the charging process. This holistic strategy enhances dynamic energy flow and grid stability while providing possible economic advantages to electric vehicle owners and operators via the integration of renewable energy sources and sophisticated management algorithms for improved energy use and storage.
