Principal Component Analysis for Aggregating Environmental Variables Affecting Electricity Distributors' Operations in Brazil
Authors: Longhini Tatielle Menolli , Costa Marcelo Azevedo , Vilela Bruno de Almeida , Bressan Valéria Gama Fully 
Published: October 2024

Theoretical Framework: The National Electric Energy Agency (NEEA) applies benchmarking, especially Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), to establish distribution tariffs and calculate efficient operational costs. The environmental context of the areas where distributors operate impacts their efficiency, indicating the need to integrate environmental factors into benchmarking models to correct methodological biases and consider unmanageable aspects, ensuring a more accurate analysis of distributor efficiency.

Objective: The study applied Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to the environmental variables of electricity distributors in Brazil, facilitating the evaluation of companies under similar operational conditions.

Method: The research utilized PCA to condense environmental information from the utilities into a reduced set of variables, simplifying the understanding of impacts on the companies' operational costs.

Research Implications: The 21 environmental variables were synthesized into four main components: Territoriality, Climate Factor, Wildfires, and Accessibility/Infrastructure, allowing their use in advanced models that consider environmental factors.

Originality/Value: The application of PCA to the environmental variables of electricity distributors in Brazil enables a more homogeneous evaluation based on similar environmental conditions. This approach, still underexplored by ANEEL, assists in analyzing the particularities of the distributors.

Objective: This research focused on identifying and classifying the scientific skills present in Chilean school textbooks of Natural Sciences from the first to the fourth year of Basic Education.

Theoretical Framework: We sought to determine their presence, frequency, cognitive level and types of skills, comparing them with curricular documents and UNESCO declarations on the subject.

Method: The study, descriptive in nature, employed the integrative method, using document analysis to compile quotations, patterns of behavior and categories. For quantitative aspects, descriptive statistics were used, analyzing by course and thematic units.

Results and Discussion: It was found that the most promoted skills were observation and explanation, fundamental for scientific learning. Scientific skills were identified at all educational levels, varying in frequency. Third and fourth year showed a greater frequency and variety of higher cognitive level skills, although some, such as creating, evaluating, reflecting and imagining, did not have the expected frequency. The lower cognitive skills did not show significant differences between educational levels. The scientific skills present in the school texts coincide in general with those declared in the Curricular Bases and by UNESCO, both in type and educational level.

Implications of the investigation: the investigation implies that the scientific skills that declare the Curriculum Bases and scientific literature are promoted, mostly, in school texts on Natural Sciences for basic education, verifying correspondence between the documents.

Originality/Value: the study contributes to literature by contributing new knowledge to the state of affairs of the knowledge of Natural Sciences in basic education, as well as highlighting the need to promote more creativity and imagination in school texts. At the same time, the results will be an input for teachers to pay more attention to higher-level scientific processes.

Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Nonequilibrium Flows Using Spectral Multiple-Relaxation-Time Collision Model
Authors: Yan Su , Shan Xiaowen 
Published: October 2024

Prediction of nonequilibrium flows is critical to space flight. The present work demonstrates that the recently developed spectral multiple-relaxation-time (SMRT) lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is theoretically equivalent to Grad’s eigensystem [“Principles of the Kinetic Theory of Gases,” Thermodynamik der Gase/Thermodynamics of Gases, Springer–Verlag, Berlin, 1958, pp. 205–294], where the eigenfunctions obtained by tensor decomposition of the Hermite polynomials are also those of the linearized Boltzmann equation. Numerical results of shock structure simulation using the Maxwell molecular model agree very well with those of a high-resolution fast spectral method code up to Mach 7, provided that the relaxation times of the irreducible tensor components match their theoretical values. If a reduced set of relaxation times is used, such as in the Shakhov model and lumped-sum relaxation of Hermite modes, non-negligible discrepancies start to occur as the Mach number is raised, indicating the necessity of the fine-grained relaxation model. Together with the proven advantages of LB, the LB-SMRT scheme offers a competitive alternative for nonequilibrium flow simulation.

Published: October 2024

В статье содержатся результаты исследования возделывания чайота – мексиканского огурца (Sechium edule) в условиях Гиссарской долины Таджикистана. Определены: вегетационный период, оптимальные сроки посадки, благоприятный световой и температурный режимы, способствующие получению высокого урожая плодов хорошего качества. Даны результаты исследований по биологическим хозяйственно ценным и биохимическим показателям. Определены фенологические фазы развития растений, биометрические показатели, урожайность плодов, сроки их созревания и биохимические показатели. Растения чайота были высажены в первой и второй декадах мая. Установлено, что на 1 м2 площади растения чайота образуют 7–8 плодов при их средней массе 350–500 г, или 3–4 кг/м2урожая. В опытах были получены 50–55 плодов с одного растения или с одного растений 8–10 кг плодов. Результаты исследований позволяют сделать вывод, что в условиях указанной долины, на орошаемых землях, оптимальный срок посадки чайота – середина апреля. В этом случае обеспечивается наибольший урожай. В дальнейшем урожайность плодов сокращается до 158,1 ц/га при сроке посадки в II декаде мая. При поздних, майских сроках посадки отрицательное влияние на уровень урожайности оказывали температурный и световой режимы, характерные для осеннего периода Гиссарской долины. Определение биохимических показателей плода чайота показало их высокие питательные качества и богатство содержания биологически активных веществ в плодах. Обоснована перспективность выращивания чайота для пополнения ассортимента овощей в Таджикистане и его ценность, как продовольственной культуры.

ОБ ОДНОМ ВАРИАНТЕ РАСЧЕТА ГЕОМЕТРИЧЕСКИ НЕЛИНЕЙНЫХ ПЛАСТИН
Authors: Иванов С.П. , Иванова А.С. , Иванов О.Г. 
Published: October 2024

Исследование напряженно-деформированного состояния (НДС) пластин при больших прогибах является важной проблемой нелинейной строительной механики. Такие пластины находят широкое применение в строительстве, авиастроении, машиностроении. В статье представлена методика расчета геометрически нелинейных пластин в смешанной форме вариационным методом В. З. Власова. Функции напряжений и прогибов принимаются в виде рядов. Пластина считается дискретно-континуальной системой. В основу расчетов положены гипотезы Кирхгофа-Лява. Определяется работа внешних и внутренних сил на возможных перемещениях. После интегрирования по частям получена система нелинейных обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений. На основе разработанной методики выполняется расчет геометрически нелинейной прямоугольной пластины под действием равномерно распределенной нагрузки. Края пластины опираются на абсолютно жесткие в своей плоскости и гибкие из плоскости диафрагмы. Конечная система нелинейных дифференциальных уравнений интегрируется численно методом Рунге-Кутта. Построены графики зависимости «нагрузка–прогиб» для центральной точки квадратной пластины. Результаты расчета полностью совпадают с данными, представленными в литературе.
One of the key issues in nonlinear structural mechanics is the investigation of the stress-strain state of plates with massive deflections. Such plates are extensively used in building, aircraft construction, and mechanical engineering. The article discusses ways to make the most of V. Z. Vlasov's variational approach to calculate geometrically nonlinear plates in a mixed form. It is assumed that the stress and deflection functions are considered in series. The plate is regarded as a discrete-continuum system. The calculations are based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses. The work of external and internal forces on possible movements is determined. A system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is produced after partial integration. The authors determine the geometrically nonlinear rectangular plate subjected to a uniformly distributed load using the suggested method. The edges of the plate are supported by a hollow structure that is both hard and flexible. The finite system of nonlinear differential equations is integrated numerically by the Runge-Kutta method. The "load-deflection" dependency for the centre of a square plate is represented graphically. The calculation results in full agreement with the data presented in literature.
« Racisme sytémique » et ses usages institutionnels : une analyse des discours des institutions politiques et publiques québécoises et canadiennes
Authors: Lévesque Isabelle 
Published: October 2024

Au Québec, le syntagme racisme systémique est très présent dans les discours médiatiques des dernières années, alors qu’il s’est retrouvé au cœur d’une polémique métalangagière où il s’est vu remis en question et commenté, notamment en raison de la non-reconnaissance du caractère systémique du racisme par le gouvernement de François Legault. Dans la foulée des débats ayant eu lieu à ce propos, cet article s’intéresse plus spécifiquement au syntagme racisme systémique dans les discours institutionnels, particulièrement ceux des institutions ayant le pouvoir de légiférer et celles gravitant autour d’elles (gouvernements fédéral et provincial et principaux partis politiques), en plus de celles qui sont directement concernées par les droits de la personne (commissions canadienne et québécoise des droits de la personne). Le syntagme racisme systémique n’a pas fait son entrée officielle dans la loi, mais il est de plus en plus présent dans les discours institutionnels. Dans un cadre d’analyse du discours, il s’agit plus particulièrement d’analyser la façon dont il y est employé pour voir s’il est accepté et utilisé comme tel, reconnaissant par le fait même la réalité du racisme systémique, ou, d’un autre côté, commenté ou remis en question, participant ainsi au débat à son propos.

Published: October 2024

Self-managed teams are perceived as highly productive and have been actively studied in recent times. Considering this, the notion of the utility of establishing and cultivating such teams in small and medium-sized businesses in Kazakhstan has emerged, aiming to enhance their role in the country's economic development. Therefore, the authors of this article have resolved to conduct an empirical study on teams operating within the SMEs sector of Kazakhstan. This study aims to present the findings of an initial survey conducted among employees of small and medium-sized enterprises to characterize their self-management capacities and identify factors influencing their self-management abilities. For this purpose, representatives of teams in small and medium businesses in Kazakhstan were surveyed. The design of the survey questionnaire involved three field experts to validate and refine the questions. Findings reveal that approximately two-thirds of SME teams in Kazakhstan demonstrate characteristics of cross-functionality, diversity, motivation, and co-location, indicative of their self-managing nature. This suggests agile management's potential for organizational goals. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical study aimed to investigate how far the teams in Kazakhstani enterprises are self-managed.

Published: October 2024

Automated subjective assessment presents a significant challenge due to the complex nature of human language and reasoning characterized by semantic variability, subjectivity, language ambiguity, and judgment levels. Unlike objective exams, subjective assessments involve diverse answers, posing difficulties in automated scoring. The paper proposes a novel approach that integrates advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques with principled grading methods to address this challenge. Combining Transformer-based Sequence Language Modeling with sophisticated grading mechanisms aims to develop more accurate and efficient automatic grading systems for subjective assessments in education. The proposed approach consists of three main phases: Content Summarization: Relevant sentences are extracted using self-attention mechanisms, enabling the system to effectively summarize the content of the responses. Key Term Identification and Comparison: Key terms are identified within the responses and treated as overt tags. These tags are then compared to reference keys using cross-attention mechanisms, allowing for a nuanced evaluation of the response content. Grading Process: Responses are graded using a weighted multi-criteria decision method, which assesses various quality aspects and assigns partial scores accordingly. Experimental results on the SQUAD dataset demonstrate the approach’s effectiveness, achieving an impressive F-score of 86%. Furthermore, significant improvements in metrics like ROUGE, BLEU, and METEOR scores were observed, validating the efficacy of the proposed approach in automating subjective assessment tasks.

Published: October 2024

The study of the cognitive aspect of translation opens up new possibilities for understanding and analysing the translation process through the prism of cognitive science. By analysing the cognitive processes that take place in the translator's brain while performing translation, it is possible to reveal various aspects of this complex and multifaceted process. The purpose of this article is to conduct a literature review of cognition-oriented translation studies in order to contribute to the development of the science of translation studies. The method included the analysis of related literature from the scientific databases Scopus and Google Scholar. As a result of this study, advanced theoretical models were put forward and developed to reveal the so-called “black box” of the translator, which is considered a key aspect in understanding the cognitive processes of translation. These theoretical approaches aimed to uncover the internal mechanism and strategies used by the translator when performing translation in order to reveal and analyse how these processes occur in the translator's brain. Conclusions – the research focused on translation processes has great potential, as it uses the latest theoretical models and research methods from related cognitive disciplines such as cognitive psychology, cognitive linguistics, neurophysiology and computational linguistics. The paper attempts to identify challenges in cognitive translation research in order to contribute to a broader understanding of the cognitive aspects of translation and to help address key challenges in this area.
