Published: March 2024

AbstractThe supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is one of the key requirements for monitoring the power systems state. The power system state is estimated from the state estimation (SE) function, which uses the measurements results from different points. Inaccurate estimation may cause inefficient management of power systems and making decisions. Usually, the number of measurement units (MUs) is limited so the optimal location of MUs is very important in successful and accurate state estimation. The optimal placement of MUs gets more complicated when the actual state of the power system is uncertain due to the high penetration of renewable generation and load uncertainties. Considering the power system's actual state uncertainty and measurement units’ inherent error, this work presents a probabilistic model for the uncertainty of measuring based on the K‐medoids data clustering technique. Then the probabilistic optimal placement of MUs is solved by a binary particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. Considering the mentioned uncertainties makes the obtained solution robust against all the probable scenarios. The proposed technique is implemented on the IEEE 14‐bus test system and the results are discussed. Results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving the accuracy of power system state estimation.

ZusammenfassungIn forensisch-psychiatrischen Kliniken werden auch Menschen gemäß § 63
Strafgesetzbuch behandelt, die auf der Grundlage einer Intelligenzminderung
straffällig geworden sind. Diese Patient*innengruppe weist überdurchschnittlich
lange Verweildauern auf und aus der Praxis werden spezifische Schwierigkeiten in
der Versorgung und der Überleitung in nachsorgende Systeme berichtet. Die
vorliegende Studie basiert auf einer inhaltsanalytischen Auswertung von zehn
strukturierten Interviews mit Behandler*innen unterschiedlicher Professionen,
die mit der Versorgung dieser Patient*innengruppe in der forensischen
Psychiatrie vertraut sind. Damit sollten Behandlungserfahrungen und
Herausforderungen der stationär-forensischen Versorgung dieser Gruppe sowie
Veränderungsbedarfe und Verbesserungsvorschläge erhoben werden. Die Befragten
bestätigten die aus anderen Studien bekannten spezifischen Behandlungsbedarfe
und personen- und diagnosebezogener Herausforderungen, die als ursächlich für
lange Verweildauern und Entlassprobleme eingeschätzt wurden. Es wurden auch
zahlreiche strukturelle und systemische Hürden benannt, die einer möglichst
kurzzeitigen forensisch-stationären Versorgung und einer nahtlosen Überleitung
ins nicht-forensische Nachsorgesystem im Wege stehen. Dazu zählen auf der
strukturellen Ebene der Bedarf an personellen Ressourcen (quantitativ wie
qualitativ) und adaptierten Behandlungskonzepte. Professionelle Nachsorge wurde
bei dieser Patient*innengruppe als sehr wichtig eingeschätzt. Diesbezüglich
wurden die Nicht-Verfügbarkeit geeigneter Institutionen, lange Wartelisten und
Vorbehalte seitens dieser Einrichtungen gegenüber ehemals forensischen
Patient*innen problematisiert. Dass sich Patient*innen mit Intelligenzminderung
gegenüber anderen Patient*innen schlechter durchsetzen könnten und dadurch oft
weniger Aufmerksamkeit von den Behandler*innen erhielten, kann als systemische
Hürde bezeichnet werden. Dies gilt auch für die (zu) hohen Anforderungen, die
das forensische System mit seinem Ziel einer „Besserung“ durch Behandlung auch
an Menschen mit Intelligenzminderung stelle. Die in der Studie ermittelten
Befunde können genutzt werden, um auf systemischer und struktureller Ebene zu
einer Verbesserung der forensisch-stationären Versorgungssituation von Menschen
mit Intelligenzminderung beizutragen.

Published: March 2024

ZusammenfassungDigitalisierung spielt zunehmend auch in der Prävention und Therapie von
Adipositas eine Rolle. Vor allem nutzen Betroffene mobile Applikationen (Apps),
die sich mit den Elementen Ernährung, Bewegung und Verhalten
beschäftigen und unterschiedliche Funktionen wie Selbstbeobachtung,
Zielsetzung, Feedback und Edukation aufweisen. Generell ist zwischen
Lifestyle-Apps, Digitalen Gesundheitsanwendungen (DiGAs) und digitalen
Präventions- und Gesundheitsförderungsangeboten zu
unterscheiden. Die Studienlage bezüglich der Wirksamkeit von digitalen
Interventionen auf das Körpergewicht ist sowohl limitiert als auch
heterogen. Zudem fehlt es vor allem an Langzeitdaten. Für DiGAs sowie im
Rahmen von systematischen Übersichtsarbeiten und Meta-Analysen konnte
gezeigt werden, dass App-basierte Interventionen einen moderaten
Gewichtsreduktionseffekt aufweisen, der vergleichbar mit dem Effekt von
„face-to-face“-Interventionen ist. Zugleich deutet die Datenlage
darauf hin, dass vor allem eine Kombination aus digitalen Interventionen und
persönlicher Verhaltensintervention vielversprechend ist. Die
detaillierte Untersuchung der Effektivität, aber auch der Vor- und
Nachteile von GesundheitsApps sowie deren zielgruppenspezifischer Einsatz ist
aktueller Forschungsgegenstand.
Perspectives About Ascorbic Acid to Treat Inflammatory Bowel
Diseases

Published: March 2024

AbstractIt is known that reactive oxygen species cause abnormal immune responses in the
gut during inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Therefore, oxidative stress has
been theorized as an agent of IBD development and antioxidant compounds such as
vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) have been studied as a new tool to treat IBD.
Therefore, the potential of vitamin C to treat IBD was reviewed here as a
critical discussion about this field and guide future research. Indeed, some
preclinical studies have shown the beneficial effects of vitamin C in models of
ulcerative colitis in mice and clinical and experimental findings have shown
that deficiency in this vitamin is associated with the development of IBD and
its worsening. The main mechanisms that may be involved in the activity of
ascorbic acid in IBD include its well-established role as an antioxidant, but
also others diversified actions. However, some experimental studies employed
high doses of vitamin C and most of them did not perform dose-response curves
and neither determined the minimum effective dose nor the ED50.
Allometric extrapolations were also not made. Also, clinical studies on the
subject are still in their infancy. Therefore, it is suggested that the research
agenda in this matter covers experimental studies that assess the effective,
safe, and translational doses, as well as the appropriate administration route
and its action mechanism. After that, robust clinical trials to increase
knowledge about the role of ascorbic acid deficiency in IBD patients and the
effects of their supplementation in these patients can be encouraged.
Murray cod and modern fish screens: influence of water velocity and screen design on the entrainment and impingement of larval and young-of-year fish at water offtakes

Published: March 2024

Context Entrainment and removal of fish from aquatic ecosystems can occur at water pump offtakes. Exclusion screens that reduce these impacts are recognised as an important conservation measure. Aims Evaluate the effectiveness of the Australian screen design guidelines in protecting larvae and young-of-year age class of a native fish species, Murray cod Maccullochella peelii. Methods Entrainment and impingement of postflexion larvae and young-of-year were assessed in a controlled laboratory environment. Tests were conducted under a range of approach velocities (AV) and impingement durations for two screen materials. Key results Fish screens reduced larval entrainment by ≤84%. Screens had no significant effect on reducing larval entrainment at AV ≥0.125 m s−1. Impingement of young-of-year was positively associated with AV and mortality increased with impingement duration, irrespective of screen type. Conclusions To protect early life-stage Murray cod, it is recommended that water pump offtakes be fitted with 2-mm vertical wedge-wire stainless steel screens and AV be limited to ≤0.1 m s−1. Implications This study represents the first assessment of the effectiveness of the Australian screen design guidelines in protecting larvae, providing knowledge to further refine specifications for screen design and support the recovery of native fish populations.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this research, two nanocomposites of zinc oxide and graphitic carbon nitride were obtained in a 1:0.15 ratio for potential use as photoelectrocatalysts. Calcination and the simple reflux method were used to obtain routes for synthesizing zinc oxide and graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposites. Subsequently, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy analyses were performed, from which it was determined that there is a strong interaction between zinc oxide and graphitic carbon nitride in both nanocomposites. Nevertheless, the nanocomposite that exhibited the most significant band gap reduction was obtained by calcination, reaching 2.93 eV.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Deforestation, a global challenge with significant environmental and social impacts, raises pressing concerns for the sustainability of the planet, especially in Colombia. This phenomenon, particularly relevant in the Colombian context where biodiversity and national identity are intrinsically linked, has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent decades due to the expansion of anthropogenic activities. This article clarifies the current state of the problem, discusses the efforts undertaken by the Office of the Procuraduria General de la Nación colombiana, and proposes an innovative approach by integrating statistical tools, formalism inherent to statistical mechanics, and geographical features. Leveraging quarterly data issued by the Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales, such as early deforestation alerts, the study will outline a methodology to discern patterns and behaviors.

Abstract
In search of perpetual sustainability, companies need a continuous line of innovation, incorporating new technologies to optimize production; the adoption of Industry 4.0 is marking an important milestone in the deployment of business functions in all areas, adapting from human resources management to manufacturing operations. By leveraging these tools, operational areas can be interconnected to drive productivity. Thus, this research performs a descriptive bibliometric analysis of the influence of Industry 4.0 on business management from 2013 to 2022, using the contribution of physics through the implementation of data mining tools, such as Bibliometrix, whose foundation is given by mathematical and statistical models; in such a way, articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science were analyzed, focusing on the indicators of citations, bibliography, abstract and keywords. The results showed an exponential growth of articles on Industry 4.0, with manufacturing as the central area of interest, especially in artificial intelligence and big data applications. The most cited articles highlight its role in process optimization. Overall, this bibliometric analysis suggests that the adoption of Industry 4.0 has a positive impact on decision-making, improving the direction of business management.
Impacts of ride-hailing on energy and the environment: a systematic review
Authors: Sheldon Tamara L , Dua Rubal 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Ride-hailing has expanded substantially around the globe over the last decade and is likely to be an integral part of future transportation systems. We perform a systematic review of the literature on energy and environmental impacts of ride-hailing. In general, empirical papers find that ride-hailing has increased congestion, vehicle miles traveled, and emissions. However, theoretical papers overwhelmingly point to the potential for energy and emissions reductions in a future with increased electrification and pooling. Future research addressing the gap between observed and predicted impacts is warranted.

Abstract
Volatilomics is a powerful tool capable of providing novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of gastric cancer. The main objective of this study was to characterize the volatilomic signatures of gastric juice in order to identify potential alterations induced by gastric cancer. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection, coupled with headspace solid phase microextraction as the pre-concentration technique, was used to identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by gastric juice samples collected from 78 gastric cancer patients and two cohorts of controls (80 and 96 subjects) from four different locations (Latvia, Ukraine, Brazil, and Colombia). 1440 distinct compounds were identified in samples obtained from patients and 1422 in samples provided by controls. However, only 6% of the VOCs exhibited an incidence higher than 20%. Amongst the volatiles emitted, 18 showed differences in their headspace concentrations above gastric juice of cancer patients and controls. Ten of these (1-propanol, 2,3-butanedione, 2-pentanone, benzeneacetaldehyde, 3-methylbutanal, butylated hydroxytoluene, 2-pentyl-furan, 2-ethylhexanal, 2-methylpropanal and phenol) appeared at significantly higher levels in the headspace of the gastric juice samples obtained from patients; whereas, eight species showed lower abundance in patients than found in controls. Given that the difference in the volatilomic signatures can be explained by cancer-related changes in the activity of certain enzymes or pathways, the former set can be considered potential biomarkers for gastric cancer, which may assist in developing non-invasive breath tests for the diagnosis of this disease. Further studies are required to elucidate further the mechanisms that underlie the changes in the volatilomic profile as a result of gastric cancer.
Understanding how designing physical data visualisations can influence behaviour change: a case study on consumer food waste reduction in Australia
Authors: Abos Regine , Franco Areli Avendano 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Data visualisations from physical self-trackers have been studied as persuasive tools for behaviour change by encouraging reflection and action. This paper presents the preliminary findings of a longitudinal nine-week study among 30 households in Australia (104 participants with a control group) using data visualisations from physical self-trackers to reduce food waste. The study focused on households with working parents and their children, identified as the primary contributors to food waste. Combining theories of consumer behaviour psychology, interaction design and data humanism to form the basis of the research methodology, participants were given visual nudges and information to encourage food-saving behaviours, and physical self-trackers to visualise and share their actions. Results were triangulated through content and thematic analysis, and paired samples frequency comparison to provide comprehensive insights. The group with access to the probe was able to sustain newly formed habits for a longer duration compared to the control group. Creating their own methods of encoding data enabled agency, holding households accountable for their own actions and facilitating a deeper understanding of their own unique dynamics and collective behaviours that lead to food waste. Furthermore, the social and physical aspects of the study emerged as the most influential factors in driving long-term behaviour change.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
To support the NDC (National Determined Contribution) targets in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31.89% in 2030, the Presidential Instruction No. 7 of 2022 has been issued, which aims to replace conventional oil-fuelled vehicles in government official vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). Although EVs do not directly produce GHG emissions as their engines do not involve fuel combustion, they still use electricity produced by Perusahaan Listrik Nasional (PLN), which uses fossil fuels in its combustion process. The purpose of this paper is to compare and determine whether the implementation of the new policy would have a significant impact on reducing GHG, particularly carbon emission, or not. This study therefore focused on calculating the indirect carbon emissions generated from the use of EVs compared to direct carbon emissions resulting from the use of official vehicles that run on fossil fuels in the Banten Province and Serang Regency. The carbon emissions in EVs are calculated using data from PLN’s carbon emissions from electricity production, while data on vehicle fuel usage and mileage per year are used to calculate emissions from official vehicles. The calculation methods were based on the 2006 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) document. The results of this study suggested that the efficiency of substituting official vehicles from oil-fuelled vehicles to the EVs, is dependent on the number and type of replaced vehicles. In both Banten Province and Serang Regency, the most efficient partial substitution of official vehicles was achieved by replacing official service vehicles with EVs, resulting in the reduction percentages of carbon emission by 26.73% and 28.58%, respectively.

Abstract
Discharge of crude oil (or its products) during the extracting, refining, and transporting into the environment have caused serious environmental distress due to their highly hydrophobic resistance, and persistence in nature and very difficult to be remediated from the environment. Therefore, an environmentally conscious approach to enhance the bioavailability (or solubility) of petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants in soil involves the utilization of biosurfactants. Biosurfactants play a crucial role in enhancing the desorption and solubilization of petroleum hydrocarbons, facilitating their assimilation by microorganisms. This research investigated the application of biosurfactant supplementation derived and purified from rhizobacteria of Scirpus grossus, which are capable of producing biosurfactants and degrading hydrocarbons, in the context of phytoremediation. The crude oil sludge used in this study was obtained from an industrial area containing 56,600±3;900 mg/kg of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH). The crude oil sludge was inoculated with biosurfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as commercial surfactant and only with the presence of S. grossus in the vegetated tanks and monitored for 90 days in a greenhouse. The results indicated that the growth of S. grossus with the addition of biosurfactant was improved and new saplings were produced. After a 90-day exposure period, the removal efficiency of TPH from the soil demonstrated significant increases, reaching 90.3%, 84.1%, and 73.7% when treated with biosurfactant+S. grossus, SDS+S. grossus, and S. grossus only respectively. These percentages were notably higher compared to the non-planted control crates (CC) where the removal efficiency was only 17.9%. These results provide evidence that the introduction of biosurfactant through inoculation can elevate the bioavailability of organic pollutants, consequently augmenting their microbial degradation in the soil.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The current study was performed to determine the effect of sludge resulting from biocoagulation-flocculation process on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) growth. The effectiveness of the resultant sludge collected after coagulation-flocculation of aquaculture effluent using biocoagulant-flocculant was compared with garden soil (nutrient rich medium) and also with sand (nutrient deficiency medium). The growth of plants in terms of physical observation and also the agronomic parameters (the number of leaves and the height of plants) was monitored for 8 weeks. At the end of the exposure period, there is no significant difference in terms of the number of leaves and also the height of plants between plants in garden soil and plants in pots with the resultant sludge. In contrast, the agronomic parameters for plants in pot with sludge were significantly higher than plants in pot with sand only. As for the relative growth rate (RGR) of plants, plants in pots with sludge were the highest (3.84 g/week) compared to garden soil (3.52 g/week) and sand only (0.25 g/week). It can be concluded that sludge generated from the coagulation-flocculation process of aquaculture effluent using natural resources as coagulant-flocculant agent has given positive impact on the growth of okra plants and is potentially utilized as biofertilizer for plants.
