Authors: Fedorovskaya A. A. , Gladysheva O. D. 
Published: October 2024

Introduction. In the context of the “green transition” and decarbonisation of the Russian Federation economy, for the sake of supporting this process, it is necessary to have a tool optimising the choice of the territory allocated for implementation of the alternative energy sources as an option of the hybrid decentralised energy supply. It should be borne in mind that the types of alternative energy sources should differ depending on the territory and its features, therefore, application of the systematic approach and adjustment of the methodology of comprehensive assessment of the territory for future planning the integration of the renewable energy sources into the energy complex of a subject of the Russian Federation have been substantiated.Materials and Methods. The object of the study was the territorial–spatial system (a subject of the Russian Federation) with its subsystems. The research was based on the synergistic approach, comparative and empirical analyses, methods of processing the statistical data and, in the cases of integrating the source data, the linear interpolation and the criterion function methods. The main fields of scientific knowledge and disciplines of science covered by the research were the urban planning, climate, geography and the energy complex. The geographic information systems within the QGIS environment were used as the tools for spatial analysis and visualisation of the simulation model data.Results. The main result of implementing a simulation model for assessing the impact of the renewable energy facilities on the ecological condition of a subject of the Russian Federation is obtaining the list of territories (region ranking) designated for allocation of the alternative energy sources (solar power, wind power and biofuels). A secondary result of the research is identification of the environmental problems and consequences caused by implementation of the alternative energy facilities, as well as selection of the measures to reduce the negative impact on the environment.Discussion and Conclusion. The theoretical and practical significance of the simulation model developed by the authors lies in taking into account the diverse parameters and conditions of a subject of the Russian Federation in the frame of the long-term and strategic planning of the region, its energy and spatial infrastructure, as well as in optimising the managerial decision-making. The use of the geoinformation systems makes it possible not only to store and visualise the data about the condition of a subject of the Russian Federation, but also to simulate the parameters of this data.

Geospatial Approach for Quantitative Analysis and Implications of Drainage Morphometry of the Antsokia, Ethiopia
Authors: Negesse Mulugeta Demisse 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study employed remote sensing data, geographic information systems, and statistical methods to analyze the morphometric features of the Antsokia watershed and its sub-watersheds. It assessed drainage network, watershed geometry, drainage texture, and relief characteristics. The Antsokia watershed is drained mainly by a sixth-order river with a dendritic pattern. The mean bifurcation ratio (Rb) was 3.9, indicating a typical branching pattern, while sub-watersheds showed higher Rb values (>5), suggesting steep terrain. The longest flow path is 42.5 km, marked by knickpoints due to lithological changes and major faults. The watershed’s elongated shape indicates longer peak flows, aiding flood management. Drainage texture analysis revealed fine drainage, implying soft rock prone to erosion prevails. Most of the watershed comprises high relief and steep slopes (78 %), including hills, breaks, and low mountains. The S-shaped hypsometric curve with a hypsometric integral of 0.4 suggests the watershed is in a mature stage of geomorphic evolution and equilibrium. Sub-watershed morphometric parameters varied spatially, categorized into low, moderate, and high clusters. Overall, this study enhances understanding of Antsokia watershed’s characteristics, aiding in sustainable resource management and decision-making.
Decoupled Control of an Active Power Filter in a Vibrating Reference Frame
Authors: Wodyk Sebastian , Iwański Grzegorz 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Active power filter (APF) control is a natural area of application for vibrating reference frame (VRF) transformation due to the intentional occurrence of higher harmonics in the active filter current compensating load current harmonics. Due to the vibrating frame transformation, the APF current can be represented by the DC values, and thus proportional-integral (PI) controllers are sufficient to control the converter current. However, in the typical approach, it may be impossible to combine harmonic filtration with reactive power compensation features, due to the transformation constraints. The solution to this issue is decoupling of the fundamental harmonic and high harmonic components and a separate control for each of them. This paper presents a decoupled control system of an APF, which uses VRF transformation for accurate control of high-current harmonics. Decoupling is a groundbreaking improvement of the VRF method. Moreover, different current limitation scenarios are proposed, considering both harmonics compensation and fundamental frequency reactive current compensation. Theoretical considerations are supported by simulation and experimental tests.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
This work presents a comprehensive method for precisely determining the equivalent circuit characteristics of single-phase induction motors (SPIM), including both direct and indirect steps. First, a DC test, a no-load test and a locked-rotor test are performed to ascertain the primary electrical characteristics of both the main and auxiliary windings. Next, the indirect phase consists of iteratively modifying the mechanical characteristics, such as the inertial moment and friction factor, in a motor simulation model in Simulink until they match the previously determined electrical parameters. In addition, the motor parameter estimate process can be improved by applying the Nelder–Mead optimisation approach, which eliminates the need to calculate partial derivatives of a cost function. The study also applies the scalar control to the SPIM. Ultimately, the efficacy of the suggested methodology is confirmed through a comparison of simulated and actual outcomes.
Impact of Dispersing on the Production and Extraction of Bio-Based Basic Chemicals from Biogenic Secondary Waste
Authors: Vogt Kyra Atessa , Steinberg Iris 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Biogenic waste from waste treatment plants, secondary waste, can be used to produce bio-based carboxylic acids, conventionally produced by chemical synthesis from petroleum-based feedstocks or by synthesis from natural oils. The cascading use of organic residues and wastes to produce bio-based products can contribute to the circular bioeconomy. In the process of biologically treating waste to produce bio-based carboxylic acids, microorganisms already present in the secondary waste use ethanol to convert short-chain into medium-chain carboxylic acids. The medium-chain carboxylic acids were separated from the secondary waste using in-situ extraction (liquid-liquid extraction). In previous studies, laboratory-scale bioreactors without a dispersing function were used. To optimise production and extraction of medium-chain carboxylic acids, the bioreactors were equipped with a device to disperse the extraction solvent in the secondary waste. By increasing the surface area between the phases, the ability to extract the medium-chain carboxylic acids was improved. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of this dispersing process. Production and extraction rates of static bioreactors without dispersing were compared to those of dynamic bioreactors with dispersing on a laboratory scale, using leachate from a composting plant as secondary waste. The results confirmed that dispersion has a positive effect on the process. Dispersing increased the reduction of the nutrient ethanol, the production of medium-chain carboxylic acids in the secondary waste and the extracted medium-chain carboxylic acids.

INTRODUCTION. Currently, the choice of tactics in the treatment of esophageal cancer remains an urgent problem. Important factors are: the stage of the disease, the functional state of the patient, as well as the morphological type of tumor. An integrated approach is today the standard for this pathology. However, after radical treatment, a significant number of complications are observed, in particular, the development of leakage of esophagogastroanastomosis. Today, according to world literature, it is generally accepted that the development of anastomotic leakage is associated with the detection of the disease in late stages, the consequences of radiation during combined chemoradiotherapy, and extensive surgical intervention for esophageal cancer.The OBJECTIVE was to improve the results of treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction, through the use of an integrated approach.METHODS AND MATERIALS. During the period of 1988–2022, treated 2784 patients with cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction were treated at the Republican Clinical Oncology Dispensary named after Prof. M. Z. Sigal. The study group included 1,799 patients who received surgical treatment, combined chemoradiotherapy in combination with surgery, and external beam radiation therapy in combination with surgery.RESULTS. Due to changes in treatment tactics for patients with cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction, postoperative mortality after surgical complications decreased from 24.3 % to 6.2 %, and anastomotic leakage in the postoperative period decreased from 27.0 % to 8.1 %.CONCLUSION. Changes in the treatment of patients with cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction made it possible to reduce the development of postoperative complications and increase life expectancy. The molecular genetic approach allows for effective analysis of screening, early diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
