Abstract
Sustainable Energy alternatives such as Solar Energy, Wind Energy are the best alternatives to the harmful Non-Renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. With the increasing investment made in the Sustainable Energy alternatives, forecasting of Energy production from the farms plays a crucial in the structured design of Energy farms and for integrated smart grid management. In this research, we propose SRNN-LSTM hybrid models for univariate solar irradiance forecasting, multivariate temperature forecasting and univariate forecasting of Wind Speed. The proposed models are evaluated based on RMSE, MAE, r2 score and Index of Agreement error metrics. The SRNN16LSTM16 hybrid models achieves the best performance with r2 score of 0.97 for Solar Irradiance forecasting and SRNN8LSTM8 hybrid model achieves the best performance with the r2 Score of 0.989 and RMSE of 0.122 for Wind Speed forecasting. We have also proposed a simple approach to derive the prediction intervals based on the Median of the residual values. The higher values of PICP error metric indicate that the proposed models are efficient and perform better than the state-of-the-art models used in the forecasting frameworks. We have also performed the Model Analysis using Explainable Artificial Intelligence tools such as LIME and ELI5 to analyze the importance of features in the model development process, generating and analyzing local explanations.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution and its Impact on Railways

Published: July 2023

The analysis of the stages of development of industrial production by human society based on the well-known concept of four industrial revolutions has resulted in retrospection of technical and technological development of railways during the periods between the industrial revolutions in terms of core rail engineering systems (infrastructure, rolling stock, control and management system), as well as contributed to outline prospects for foreseeable period. It has allowed to identify main directions of technical and technological development of productive forces characteristic of the fourth industrial revolution.The objective of the research was to identify those directions that are appropriate to be applied in relation to rail transport as well as to choose a few specific technical and technological solutions.In the field of digitalisation, it is proposed to focus on development and implementation of intelligent management systems for each workplace or of intelligent workplaces (IWP), which ensure development of optimal solutions for numerous operational tasks fulfilled by the dispatchers on duty at railway facilities. It has been determined that for a case of a large rail company like JSC Russian Railways creation of managers’ IWPs should be based on the scale and generality of the tasks solved at numerous similar managed objects since, for example, the number of dispatching sections reaches more than 400, the number of stations and simultaneously moving trains is of several thousand, and of train sheds and infrastructure sections is of several hundred, etc. This allows creating standard systems that are further replicated for specific workplaces while considering local specifics.Intelligent systems integrate as important elements fast-growing production of increasingly miniaturised, and to be underlined, constantly cheaper sensors, capable today of being built into almost any objects that in terms of railways comprise, for example, a wheel of a wagons or of a locomotive, engines, rails, any wagons or containers. This allows continuously monitoring the current state of any objects, as well as their nodes resulting in fundamentally new opportunities for reducing the cost of maintenance of rolling stock and infrastructure, as well as ensuring transport safety. Thus, for the first time ever, the task of achieving «absolute» rail traffic safety can be set.The article includes a forecast of the approximate time of the advent of the fifth industrial revolution and the trajectories of development of technical systems of railways for the period before its start. The use of the results of the study is supposed to facilitate to concretise directions of the promising technical and technological development of rail transport.

Published: July 2023

In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) there are many winter roads for transportation of food and essential goods. As a rule, vehicles are running on a diesel fuel on such roads. Despite the difficulties in operating diesel vehicles under extremely low temperatures, diesel vehicles are much more powerful and economical than gasoline ones. Problems with start and operation of a diesel engine are associated with low-temperature properties of diesel fuel. The process involved in refining oil to create a winter class diesel fuel is expensive and complex because paraffinic hydrocarbons must be removed.Therefore, today it is important to produce winter classes of diesel fuel by compounding a pour point depressant and a summer class of fuel. When using additives, problems arise with the choice of their concentration. Those limits that the manufacturer recommends in real life show a negative result.There is no wide range of those additives in Yakutia so the authors chose for experiments Dewaxol additives that diminish sedimentation during fuel transportation. So, during the study of the impact of Dewaxol additive, that contained amides and imides of mono- and dicarboxylic acids on the diesel fuel, it was considered how, at various concentrations of the additive and the heating temperature of fuel, the cloud point decreases, and sedimentation stability improves. The least squares method has allowed describing optimal concentration of pour point depressant. The study resulted in the conclusion that the fuel with a high content of depressant-dispersant additive has the best sedimentation stability.

Abstrak
Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang karakteristik peristiwa petir, khususnya jenis Cloud to Gground (CG) terkait curah hujan (CH) di wilayah Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa total sambaran petir CG yang terjadi di wilayah Maumere pada periode bulan Desember 2014 sampai November 2019 sebesar 18.194 sambaran dengan sambaran maksimum terjadi pada bulan Nopember sampai April dan sambaran minimum terjadi di bulan Juli sampai Oktober. Untuk curah hujan yang terjadi pada daerah Maumere dan periode tersebut sebesar 4.201 mm dengan pola hujan bertipe monsunal, dimana curah hujan maksimum terjadi di bulan Desember sampai Februari, sedangkan curah hujan minimum terjadi pada bulan Juli sampai Oktober. Peristiwa sambaran petir CG dan curah hujan di wilayah tersebut, umumnya memiliki hubungan yang tidak searah atau tidak kuat namun tergolong pada korelasi sedang. Selain itu, jumlah peristiwa sambaran petir untuk jumlah curah hujan pada setiap tahunnya berbeda yang ditunjukkan dengan nilai perhitungan Rain-Yield per Flash (RPF). Hal ini diduga karena adanya beberapa faktor, seperti perubahan cuaca yang begitu cepat, pergerakan angin yang kencang serta adanya faktor lama penyinaran matahari yang terjadi di wilayah tersebut.

Abstract
Research on the characteristics of lightning events has been carried out, especially the type of cloud to ground (CG) related to rainfall (CH) in the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) region. The result showed that the total CG lightning strikes that occurred in the Maumere area in the period December 2014 to November 2019 were 18.194 strikes with the maximum strikes occurring from November to April and the minimum incidents occurring from July to October. The rainfall that occurs in these Maumere regions and periods is 4.201 mm with a monsoon-type rain pattern, where the maximum rainfall occurs in December to February, while the minimum rainfall occurs from July to October. The CG lightning strikes events and rainfall in the area, generally have a unidirectional or not strong relationship but are classified as moderate correlation. Also In addition, the number of lightning strikes events for the amount of rainfall in each year is different as indicated by the Rain-Yield per Flash (RPF) calculation value. This is presumably due to several factors, such as rapid weather changes, strong wind movements, and the long time factor of sun exposure in the area.

Introduction: Anaemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that adversely affects cardiovascular health and quality of life. Data on anaemia in Sri Lankan CKD patients is scarce.Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the prevalence, associations, and treatment response of anaemia in a cohort of patients with CKD.Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among consecutive, consenting adult patients with stable CKD attending clinics and wards of the University Medical Unit, Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Ragama.Results: Of 149 patients with CKD (males 57.7%), 70.5% had diabetes, 83.9% had hypertension and 37.6% had ischemic heart disease. Anaemia was present in 90.6% of females and 93% of males. The severity of anaemia was significantly (p=<.05) associated with female gender, advancing CKD stage, diabetes, chronic liver cell disease, being on dialysis, and increasing degree of proteinuria.Of 91 patients investigated for the cause of anaemia, 60.4% had iron deficiency with anaemia of chronic disease, while 27.5% had anaemia of chronic disease based on the blood picture. Of 88 patients with haemoglobin <10g/dl, only 45.4% were on erythropoietin and 56.8% had received blood transfusions. 76.1% of the anaemic patients had hemoglobin below 10g/dL at follow-up despite treatment.Conclusions: Anaemia was highly prevalent in the CKD cohort with a significant number requiring transfusions. Patients continued to have anaemia despite being treated with nutritional supplements and erythropoietin.

Jelen tanulmány célja a Vatikánvárosban található Anima Mundi Múzeum etnográfiai lencsén keresztül történő vizsgálata. Az elemzés feltárja a memóriaintézmény alapításának körülményeit, rávilágít, mennyiben mozdította elő az 1925. évi római missziós szakexpó és az 1929. évi barcelonai világkiállítás az intézmény létrehozását és kezdeti szárnypróbálkozását. Végigkísérem, hogy az alapító XI. Piusz és őt a trónon követő római pápák miként gazdagították a gyűjteményt. Feltérképezem, hogy a Pontificio Museo Missionario Etnologico és a 2019-ben új néven és új kurátori koncepcióval megnyitott múzeum kiállítási logikája között mik a hasonlóságok és a hangsúlyeltolódások, melyek a reprezentációs logika főbb ismérvei, illetve I. Ferenc pápának milyen szerepe volt az intézményi szemléletváltásban. Nyomon követem, hogy az Európán kívüli népek körében folyó evangelizációs munkát középpontba állító tárlat miként vált az Apostoli Szentszék reprezentációs szándékát kifejező, a nacionalista ideológia elleni fellépés sarokkövéből a gyarmatbirodalmak megszűnését követően a posztkoloniális fordulatra a re-mapping jegyében érdemben reflektáló, a 21. századi múzeumi szempontokat érvényesítő memóriaintézménnyé. Választ keresek arra, hogy a gyűjtemény milyen módon képes összekapcsolni az egyetemes missziótörténeti perspektívát az etnológiai-antropológiai szemléletmóddal. Kiderítem, hogy a világ egyik legnagyobb és leggazdagabb múzeumkomplexuma, a Musei Vaticani részét képező Anima Mundi milyen reprezentációs eszközökkel hívja fel a figyelmet az Európán kívüli civilizációk gazdagságára és diverzitására a cross cultural studies jegyében. A globális-lokális dichotómiát szem előtt tartva a múzeum a tárgyi anyag és a kurátori koncepció révén a vallásközi párbeszéd és az interkulturális diskurzus számára biztosít helyet.

Background: Researchers have introduced tremendous developments in the therapy of BPD. Nonetheless, there is an urgent need for further clinical investigations regarding the role of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Aim: We conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy of DBT in Egyptian patients with BPD.
Subjects and Methods: We conducted a prospective, comparative, non-randomized, study through the period from January 2017 to June 2019; patients were recruited if they had established diagnosis of BPD according to DSM-5. Eligible patients were assigned at their convenience or according to immediate availability of treatment slot to comprehensive DBT program integrating DBT skills into skills training schedule or treatment as usual (TAU).
Results: DBT patients showed better improvement in borderline symptoms in comparison to patients receiving TAU(P < 0.001). Regarding the behavior aspect, the patients in DBT group started to show significant improvement in comparison to TAU group after 16 months (P < 0.001). DBT patients showed better improvement of emotion regulation and mindfulness in comparison to TAU. Overall, it was found that DBT groups had lower Distress Tolerance scale (DTS) score in comparison TAU (28.35 ± 3.16vs. 49.95 ± 2.39, P < 0.001). At the end of treatment, it was found that Interpersonal Effectiveness, evaluated by (IIPP) scale, were significantly reduced in DBT group compared to TAU group (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: We provide further evidence about the effectiveness of DBT in the management of BPD in Egyptian patients.
