Microgrid Operation Optimization Considering Storage Devices, Electricity Transactions and Reserve
Authors: Fan Wen , Liao Yuan 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a new method for optimizing the operation of a microgrid, which minimizes the operating cost or maximizes solar generation of the microgrid. The microgrid consists of loads, storage devices, and distributed generations. The generation cost, capacity, ramp up and down rate, and minimum up and down time for each generator are considered. Characteristics of storage devices including charging and discharging rate, capacity, and charging and discharging efficiency are modelled. The microgrid can sell or buy electricity from the area electrical power system. A novel method for modeling system reserve requirement with storage devices is presented. The optimal schedule of generation and storage resources in the microgrid including on or off status of generators and optimal dispatch, and charging and discharging status and rate of storage devices is determined. The paper provides versatile strategies through different optimization formulations such as optimal storage sizing for operators to reduce solar generation curtailment due to duck curve phenomena. In this research, without losing generality, the simulation horizon is 24 hours day ahead, and simulation resolution is one hour. The optimization problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem. Case study results are reported.
Improving detectability of the harvest mouse (Micromys minutus Pallas, 1771) by above ground live-trapping
Authors: Darinot Fabrice 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Harvest mouse detectability represents a real issue for surveys, as usual ground-trap monitoring is known to fail to detect this species, especially in summer. The present study proposes to test ground versus aerial live-trapping efficiency for harvest mouse in summer, with a trapping design using paired ground and aerial traps over a 2-year survey in a reedbed. Over 10,720 trap-nights, the harvest mouse represented 85% of the 1078 small mammals captured, and it was the only species among five which was more often trapped above ground (n = 702) than on the ground (n = 213). Capture probability was significantly higher in aerial than in ground traps, with a slightly positive effect of leaf litter and, surprisingly, a negative effect of dense vegetation cover. Following these results, recommendations are made for harvest mouse monitoring.
Excited radical anions and excited anions in visible light photoredox catalysis
Authors: Ghosh Indrajit 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Over the last decade, visible light photocatalysis has dramatically increased the arsenal of methods for organic synthesis and changed the way we activate molecules for chemical reactions. Polypyridyl transition metal complexes, redox-active organic dyes, and inorganic semiconductors are typically used as photocatalysts for such transformations. This chapter reviews the applications of radical anions and anions as photosensitizers in visible light photoredox catalysis.
The relationship between patient factors and the refusal of analgesics in adult Emergency Department patients with extremity injuries, a case-control study

Abstract

Background and aims
Previous studies have described the phenomenon of oligo-analgesia in Emergency Department patients with traumatic injuries, despite the high prevalence of pain among these patients. Besides aspects related to health care staff, patient related factors might also play a role in suboptimal pain treatment, however evidence is scarce. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to evaluate patient related factors in adult patients refusing offered analgesics during an Emergency Department presentation with extremity injuries.

Methods
This was a case control study in the Emergency Department of a level 1 Trauma Centre. Cases were defined as adult patients with an extremity injury who declined analgesia, when offered. They were matched to controls from the same population, who accepted analgesics, in a 1:2 ratio using gender as matching variable. Primary outcome was difference in NRS pain score. Secondary outcomes were the relationship between categorical severity of pain scores and refusal of analgesics, exploration of independent predictors of analgesia refusal utilizing multivariate logistic regression and the evaluation of eight beliefs among patients who refuse analgesics.

Results
Between August 1st and 31st 2016, a total of 253 patients were eligible for inclusion of whom 55 declined analgesic treatment. They were included as cases and matched to 110 controls. Difference in median NRS pain score was significant between the groups: 5.0 (IQR 3.0–8.0) vs. 8.0 (IQR 6.0–9.0), respectively (p < 0.01). Nearly 20% of patients with severe pain declined analgesics, compared to 41% with moderate and 69% with mild pain (p < 0.01). The NRS pain score was the only independent predictor of refusal of analgesic treatment with a mean Odds Ratio of 0.67 (95%-CI 0.54–0.83). Most common patients’ beliefs were that pain medication should be used in extreme pain only, fear of decreasing the doctor’s ability to judge the injury and fear of addiction to analgesics.

Conclusions
Pain severity is the single independent predictor of refusal of analgesia, however the following patient beliefs are important as well: pain medication should be used in extreme pain only; fear of decreasing the doctor’s ability to judge the injury and the fear of becoming addicted to pain medication.

Implications
In case patients refuse offered analgesics, the health care provider should actively address patient beliefs that might exist and lead to suboptimal pain treatment.
E-mobility and Sustainable Tourism Transport in Remote Areas
Authors: Scuttari Anna , Isetti Giulia 
Published: September 2019

Zusammenfassung
Im Diskurs über Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte im Tourismus sind Mobilitätsfragen von zentraler Bedeutung. Der Übergang zu einem nachhaltigen und integrierten Verkehrskonzept sollte sowohl das Management des öffentlichen Verkehrs, der aktiven Verkehrsteilnehmer (Fußgänger und Fahrradfahrer) als auch das Management der Elektromobilität einbeziehen. Die explorative Fallstudie in einer alpinen Region in Norditalien (Südtirol) untersucht, welches Potenzial der Elektromobilität im Hinblick auf die Gewährleistung oder sogar Steigerung der Nachhaltigkeitsorientierung von Tourismusdestinationen in abgelegenen Gebieten zukommt. Um die Rahmenbedingungen sowie die touristische Einstellung zur Entwicklung der Elektromobilität zu beurteilen, wurden Nachfrage- und Angebotsperspektiven kombiniert. Eine sekundäre Datenanalyse gibt Aufschluss über die Entwicklung von Strategien und die Bereitstellung von Ladeinfrastrukturen für eine lokale Verbesserung der Elektromobilität. Darüber hinaus wurde eine Online-Befragung durchgeführt, um Verhaltensinformationen zur Einstellung der Besucher in Bezug auf die Elektromobilität im Allgemeinen sowie vor Ort zu sammeln. Hierzu wurden mittels einer zielgerichteten Stichprobe mehr als 1.000 Touristen ausgewählt, die das Gebiet bereits besucht haben. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse geben Aufschluss über wahrgenommene Barrieren und Desiderata, was die Weiterentwicklung von E-Tourismus-Angeboten anbelangt. Sie unterstreichen außerdem das Potenzial der Destination, die E-Mobilitätsinfrastruktur als Instrument für Produkt- und Marktinnovation im Tourismus zu nutzen.
Touristische Aktionsräume und die Wahrnehmung von Crowding
Authors: Reif Julian 
Published: September 2019

ZusammenfassungIm Zuge der vielfältigen Diskussionen um eine touristische Übernutzung von Städten liegen kaum Untersuchungen über den Tagestourismus vor. Insbesondere über intradestinationale Aktionsräume und die damit in Verbindung stehende Wahrnehmung von anderen Menschen im Stadtraum gibt es – im Gegenteil zu Studien über die Tourismusakzeptanz aufseiten der Einwohner – wenig empirische Befunde aus touristischer Perspektive. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Ziel des Beitrages, Erkenntnisse über die Bewegungsmuster und die Wahrnehmung von anderen Stadtnutzern von Tagestouristen in Hamburg zu gewinnen. Dafür wurden die Aktionsräume mithilfe eines GPS-Trackers gemessen und durch einen Fragebogen die Wahrnehmung von Crowding ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine deutliche Konzentration des tagestouristischen Raum-Zeit-Konsums im Hamburger Central Business District. Andere Stadtnutzer werden zwar wahrgenommen, haben jedoch kaum Einfluss auf das aktionsräumliche Handeln vor Ort. Das positive Crowding überwiegt deutlich. Durch die Kombination von Aktionsräumen und der Wahrnehmung von Crowding können zwei Kernzonen in Hamburg identifiziert werden, die im Rahmen einer sozial verträglichen Tourismus- und Stadtentwicklung bevorzugt behandelt werden sollten.
The Lambert W Function: A Newcomer in the Cosmology Class?
Authors: Saha Subhajit , Bamba Kazuharu 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
We propose a novel equation of state (EoS) which explains the evolutionary history of a flat Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker universe. The uniqueness of this EoS lies in the fact that it incorporates the Lambert W function in a special fashion. It is explicitly demonstrated that with observationally relevant values of the unknown parameters ϑ
1 and ϑ
2, all the evolutionary phases of the universe can be reproduced. Moreover, it also shows that the initial singularity is unavoidable and asserts that the late-time acceleration of the universe would continue forever.
Measurement Properties and Feasibility of Repeated Sprint Ability Test: A Systematic Review
Authors: Lopes-Silva João Paulo , Ferreira da Silva Santos Jonatas , Abbiss Chris R. , Franchini Emerson 
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the research methodological quality, measurement properties, and feasibility of repeated sprint ability tests. Results showed that testretest absolute and relative reliability was very large to nearly perfect for total work and best sprint performance. However, the fatigue index presented a weak absolute and relative reliability. Total sprint time was able to discriminate performance between player positions, competitive levels, and season phases, whereas the best sprint performance distinguished the competitive levels and playing positions. Total sprint and best sprint time were correlated with the sum of peak speed and neuromuscular measures.
Thermomechanical Triaxial Cell for Rate-Controlled Heating-Cooling Cycles
Authors: Jaradat Karam A. , Abdelaziz Sherif L. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This article presents the development, calibration, and performance of a triaxial cell developed to study the thermomechanical behavior of soils under controlled heating and cooling rates and sinusoidal temperature changes mimicking real field conditions. This cell uses bipolar thermo-electrical devices to fully control the applied thermal loads. The cell can accommodate specimens up to 75 mm in diameter with a height-to-diameter ratio of 2 to 2.5. Tested soil specimens can be subjected to temperatures ranging from −5°C to 70°C with the specimen temperature change rate ranging from ±0.001°C/min and ±0.4°C/min. First, the modifications implemented on a conventional triaxial cell are presented to facilitate controlling of the boundary temperature applied to the specimen and the applied heating/cooling rates. Then, the thermal calibrations of the modified triaxial cell under different isotropic stresses and temperatures in drained and undrained conditions are presented. Finally, the capabilities of the modified triaxial cell are demonstrated using a thermomechanical test on a remolded kaolinite clay subjected to a drained heating-cooling cycle. The specimen was saturated and consolidated under 500 kPa confining stress at 20°C; then it was subjected to a drained thermal cycle (20 – 70 – 10 – 20°C) using a temperature change rate of ±0.1°C/min. Upon completing the thermal cycle, the specimen was sheared under undrained conditions at 20°C. The results of this test show a thermally induced contractive plastic volume change agreeing with the thermomechanical behavior of saturated normally consolidated clays in the literature. Furthermore, the drained heating-cooling cycle caused a dramatic increase in the undrained shear strength compared to the value measured at 20°C.

Desafíos provenientes de la experimentación estética para la práctica de la enfermería en el hospital psiquiátrico
Authors: Elias Andréa Damiana da Silva , De Melo Tavares Cláudia Mara , Eleutério Ferreira Rejane 
Published: September 2019

Introducción: Investigamos el potencial del cuerpo de las enfermeras en el cuidado de personas internadas en el hospital psiquiátrico. Partimos del supuesto de que a través de experimentos estéticos con el cuerpo las enfermeras pueden intensificar modos de existencia en el cuidado, vislumbrando nuevas posibilidades de desempeñarse profesionalmente. El objetivo del estudio es analizar los desafíos para la práctica de la enfermería psiquiátrica con base en experimentos creativos con el cuerpo. Materiales y Métodos: Investigación cualitativa, de enfoque socio-poético, realizada en 2017. Los datos se produjeron a través del dispositivo grupo-investigador y del uso de técnicas artísticas, conformado por siete enfermeras de un hospital psiquiátrico del Río de Janeiro, Brasil. Analizados por categorización global según la sociopoética. Resultados: Los datos demostraron un distanciamiento de las enfermeras de las prácticas propias del campo psicosocial, desesperanza en la mejora de la condición de salud del usuario y el potencial de los experimentos estéticos de generar innovación en el cuidado de enfermería. Discusión: Las categorías dialogaron con el referencial teórico de Collière, a saber: 1) el poder reducirse en el cuidado; 2) el poder movilizarse en el cuidado; 3) el poder desenvolverse en el cuidado. Conclusiones: Se concluye que existe una indefinición en cuanto a los quehaceres de la enfermería en el hospital psiquiátrico y la disposición de las enfermeras de cambiar/crear sus prácticas a la luz de una clínica que valore a la persona internada como ciudadano.

Infusing Service-Learning into Allied Health Profession Curriculum: Perceived Enablers and Barriers
Authors: Uy Sally Jane 
Published: September 2019

Service-learning may offer an innovative perspective in the competing global and national health interests among Philippine universities. This study sought to understand the enablers and barriers of implementing service-learning in the context of a premier private Catholic Philippine allied health profession education. It used an in-depth descriptive qualitative design. Transcripts from interviews, field notes and organizational documents were analyzed using thematic analysis. Data were coded and categorized into perceived barriers and enablers according to The Self-Assessment Rubric for Institutionalization of Service-Learning in Higher Education (SRISL) by Furco (2002). A wide range of enablers and barriers to implementing SL in one of the university’s health-related program were discussed. The results of this study may support further uptake of service-learning as a signature pedagogy in the allied health profession, particularly for its emerging unique professional identity and role in enhancing disability-related health outcomes.

Published: September 2019

Cassava in Indonesia is used as food ingredients to meet the food needs of the community and industry. Cassava is the result of farmers' business that can be processed into staple foods or marketable snacks so that they can penetrate the global market and source of state revenue. Bondowoso as an agricultural area has a large potential of cassava and some people have cassava business such as tape or other snack foods. Bondowoso cassava is also a supplier of manufactured industrial materials. Problems arise related to not being matched by institutionalized efforts, where cassava farmers do their agricultural business individually and are downhill. In addition, cassava is considered cheap food so it gets less attention from the government. Cassava farming businesses to develop need institutions that are built in synergy between various institutions to improve competitiveness. The institution is a combination of farmers, businessmen, government, who work together and synergize in giving strength to cassava farming businesses to develop. The government through its policy of positioning cassava as an industrial material that is considered and developed from quality and quantity and has competitiveness and increases revenue. Behavior that strengthens competitiveness is done through product, price, promotion and distribution proportionally in the institution so that the sustainability of cassava farming business and able to face competition in the global market. Institutionality can protect cassava farmers' business from the pressure of government policy and capitalist competition in order to run parallel between civil society, state and business in realizing good governance
