Optimal Capacitor Placement for Loss Reduction in Distribution Systems Using Bat Algorithm

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Electricity, today, has not only become a necessity but also a tool for determining the economic standing and growth of a nation.The exponential growth in demand over the past two decades and the widening gap between demand and supply is a growing concern.So as to reduce this gap, in addition to adding new generating units, automation technology is being employed for reducing the T&D losses and therefore the increasing necessity of fast and efficient algorithms.This paper presents a two stage approach: first, Fuzzy Logic is used to find optimal capacitor locations and then Bat Algorithm is used to find optimal capacitor sizes in order to minimize losses.The proposed method is tested on 15-bus and 34-bus test systems and the results are presented.
P-OGC93 Weight Loss and Complications in Oesophagectomy and Gastrectomy Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Oesophagectomy and gastrectomy are major surgeries which often involve patients fasting for prolonged periods of time post operatively thus requiring alternative nutrition regimens. In addition, patients often suffer dysphagia, anorexia, chemotherapy side effects and significant weight loss prior to surgery. Post-operative concerns include delayed gastric emptying, refeeding syndrome and dumping syndrome. Whilst placement of enteral feeding tubes aids the transition back to normal diet there are often still social, physical and dietary challenges that hinder nutrition. The aim of this study was to review weight loss in patients post operatively and to optimise post-operative nutrition. Methods The records of 113 patients who had undergone an oesophagectomy (43) or gastrectomy (64) between June 2018 and November 2019 at a single regional cancer centre were retrospectively examined. These patients’ contemporaneous weights had been recorded at set peri operative timelines and the greatest percentage weight loss calculated. The percentage weight loss was matched to the highest Clavien-Dindo post-operative complication. Results 89 patients had weights routinely reviewed post operatively, with the remainder not having regular post operative weights documented. The median weight loss was 7.53. For patients undergoing a total gastrectomy (27) weight loss ranged from 7.36-29.2%. Median weight loss was 11.45%. Patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy (26) had between 0.37-18.5% with a median of 7.83% weight loss. Those who underwent an oesophagectomy (36) had between 0 - 28.67% weight loss with the median being 7.21%. 6 patients had their operations abandoned. Post-operative complications, inclusive of Grade II and above, occurred in 16.8% of cases. Majority of complications occurred in those undergoing an oesophagectomy (64%), however complications did not correlate with percentage weight loss. The most common complication was grade IIIb (Grade I: 8, Grade II: 1, Grade IIIa: 1, Grade IIIb: 14, Grade IVa: 2, Grade V: 2). Conclusions Significant post-operative weight loss is common after oesophagectomy or gastrectomy surgery. Postoperative weight loss did not correlate with complications. Furthermore, there did not appear to be a correlation with weight loss and type of procedure. Nutritional status plays an important prognostic role in patients undergoing oesophagectomy or gastrectomy. Optimising nutrition perioperatively and post operatively is important to enhance post-operative recovery and reduce post operative risk. Reviewing a larger cohort of patients would improve the robustness of this study.
Development of tourism in Poland: policy implications

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research note aims to discuss policy implications for the development of tourism in Poland. It takes as its premise that the country has considerable tourist potential, which has not been fully tapped. Hence, with emphasis placed on Poland's destination attractiveness, we identify weaknesses that hold back the growth of the tourism industry. It is argued that the development of various forms of tourism might foster the diversification of economic activity and encourage the creation of jobs, in particular in poorer rural or remote communities. For this to happen, however, a re-orientation of economic and environmental policies is called for.
Triple-NOTE (Triple Negative Outcome in ESME): Large recent real-world prognostic data on triple negative metastatic breast cancers (mTNBC).

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

e12592 Background: During last decade, therapeutic arsenal has expanded for metastatic breast cancer (mBC), but few data are available about mTNBC, a poor prognosis subtype. In 2014, UNICANCER (composed of 18 French Comprehensive Cancer Centers) launched the Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics (ESME) program to centralize real-world data. This base represents a great opportunity to update the outcomes and the treatment practice patterns of this population. Methods: The ESME-mBC database was built from information systems, treatment databases and patients’ electronic files including quality control processes. All pts who initiated treatment for mBC between 01-Jan-2008 and 31-Dec-2014 were selected. The primary objective of this study was to assess overall survival (OS) of mTNBC pts. TNBC status was defined as ER and PR < 10% in both primary and metastatic disease, as well as the absence of overexpression or amplification of HER2. The secondary objectives were to describe the characteristics of this population, clinical management (duration and sequence of treatments) and to evaluate the prognostic value of several clinical factors (age, distant disease free interval, location and number of metastatic sites) Results: Among 16703 pts in the ESME-mBC database, 2368 (14%) had mTNBC. Median OS over this time period was 14.8 months (95% CI 14-15.6). Median age at diagnosis of mBC was 57 years. For the pts who relapsed, median metastasis free interval was 24 months, while 25.5% of the pts were de novo metastatic. 61% of the pts presented visceral metastasis and 12% had cerebral metastasis as first metastatic site. The pattern of metastatic involvement (visceral and cerebral) and a short metastasis free interval ( < 24 months) were the most important prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. The description of treatment sequences (duration, prognostic value) will be presented. Conclusions: In this real-life setting database, mTNBC remain of poor prognosis despite a trend for a better OS than the historical data available (12-13 ms). This TNBC ESME cohort is one of the largest available and offers an updated assessment of the outcomes of this population.
Land Tenure Management: A Key Determinant in Sustainable Farming the - Example of Martinique

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

For the past fifteen years the notion of sustainable farming has become a constant reference in defining rural development policies. For many years, this concept was assimilated to that of the reproducibility of eco-systems and social and economic factors were not taken into consideration. Yet, in Martinique, as in many other insular states in the Caribbean, control over the way farmland is managed is a prerequisite in defining any so-called sustainable farming policy. The analysis of changes in the use of farmland shows that the intergenerational transfer of land is not ensured: the usable agricultural area has decreased by 38% in less than thirty years, with nevertheless substantial spatial variations. In the same way, it seems that more than 50%) of farms are not economically viable because of their size. In addition, different studies on farming practises show that the land tenure structures of the farms may constitute an obstacle to the application of environmentally friendly practises. To address this problem, many regulations, tools and operators have been implemented in recent decades and at different territorial levels. In spite of everything, because of insufficient political will due to the paradoxical position of farmers and of their representatives (who speak out "in the name of the farming profession" for the preservation of farmland, but whose interests at the individual level are that their land should be declassified as building land), most of these measures have not had the desired effects. For 3 or 4 years, new initiatives have seen the light of day (implementation of the control of land tenure structures and definition of local sustainable development plans). The future of agriculture in Martinique - and therefore its sustainability - will probably depend on the rigour with which these measures are applied.
Power of a Unit‐Root Test and the Initial Condition

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract. It is now well known that how the initial observation is generated can have a significant effect on the power of a unit‐root test. In this article, we show that by taking a simple data‐dependent weighted average of the initial condition‐robust test of Elliott and Müller [Journal of Econometrics (2006), forthcoming] and the standard augmented Dickey–Fuller test, we are able to produce a new unit‐root test that can improve power, both asymptotically and in finite samples, over a wide range of possibilities governing the generation of the initial observation.

Adherence to the WHO guidelines and associations with socio- demographic factors among Ethiopian preschool children: The SUNRISE study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract

Background The World Health Organisation (WHO) has called for more evidence on 24-hour movement behaviours from low- and middle-income countries. We examined the proportion of Ethiopian children aged 3.0-4.9 years who met the WHO guidelines on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep for children under the age of five, and the associations between meeting the guidelines and socio-demographic factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Adama and Lume Woreda, Ethiopia. Children were recruited through kindergartens in Adama and rural villages in Lume Woreda, Ethiopia. Physical activity and sleep were measured using ActiGraph accelerometer. Sedentary screen time and restrained sitting were parent-reported. Multivariable logistic regression models tested associations between meeting the individual and combined WHO guidelines and socio-demographic factors. Results A total of 430 children participated in the study (mean age 4.2 ± 0.6 years). More than half the children (58.0%) met all the WHO guidelines. A higher proportion met the physical activity (96.1%) and sleep guidelines (91.9%) compared to the sedentary screen time guideline (63.5%). Children who lived in rural areas were more likely to meet the sedentary behaviour (84.6% vs 38.2%, AOR = 7.31; 95%CI: 3.93, 14.02), sleep (98.6% vs 83.8%, AOR = 8.60; 95%CI: 3.55, 23.73) and combined (81.3% vs 30.1%, AOR = 7.41; 95%CI: 4.04, 13.97) guidelines than those who lived in urban areas. Conclusions Children from rural Ethiopia were more compliant with the WHO guidelines than their urban counterparts. Strategies to reduce screen time and promote healthy movement behaviours in urban areas are needed. Further studies with a larger representative sample might provide better insight across the regions of the country.
IMPACT OF IMPORT TARIFF POLICIES ON RICE DEMAND AND SUPPLY IN INDONESIA

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Indonesia’s economic policies cannot be separated to its rice policies since rice is the staple food for Indonesian people. The paper aims to find out the impact of rice import tariff policies on rice demand and supply in Indonesia. The research uses time series data in 1981-2018. Data obtained are analyzed using econometric model with simultaneous equation system. Estimation results show that rice supply was positively and significantly influenced by grain rice price in farmer level, amount of rice production, and rice supply of the previous year. Meantime, domestic rice demand was negatively and significantly influenced by domestic rice price and positively and significantly influenced by domestic rice demand of the previous year. The result of policy simulation indicates that scenario of policy combination through an increase in rice import tariff and government purchase price brings a sizeable impact on the increase in domestic rice production and rice demand and supply. Therefore, Indonesia needs to conduct protection to farmers in the form of rice import tariff imposition as well as government purchase price.
Tubular reabsorptive capacity for magnesium in the dog kidney

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Micropuncture studies were performed on 27 thyroparathyroidectomized dogs to determine the segmental reabsorption of magnesium before and after graded magnesium infusion. Overall kidney reabsorption, as determined by the difference between filtered magnesium and urinary excretion, initially increased with elevation of plasma magnesium up to 3.5 meq/liter. Further elevation of plasma magnesium resulted in the appearance in the urine of all additional increments in filtered magnesium. Thus, renal magnesium reabsorption followed a pattern characteristic of a maximal transport rate (Tm). Evaluation of the proximal tubule by micropuncture demonstrated that net reabsorption of magnesium rose proportional to the increase in filtered magnesium and accounted for a constant fractional reabsorption of 14%. In contrast, magnesium reabsorption in Henle's loop initially increased with low delivery rates but peaked and fell with high plasma magnesium concentrations. Little magnesium reabsorption was observed between the distal collection site and final urine. Accordingly, the overall urinary excretion pattern was a summation of the different effects occurring in the proximal tubule and Henle's loop. Thus, renal magnesium reabsorption is not characterized by a Tm process but is a composite of distinct transport properties of the proximal tubule and the loop of Henle.
Effect of gamma irradiation combined with hot water treatment on the physicochemical properties, vitamin C content and organoleptic quality of clementines

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Des clementines d'Espagne (Marisol) ont ete irradiees aux rayons gamma a des doses de 0,3 et 0,5 kGy, avec et sans traitement a l'eau chaude prealable (53 °C-5 min), et entreposees a 17 °C et 46 % d'humidite relative durant 3 semaines. Elles ont ete comparees a des clementines non irradiees (temoins) pour la duree de conservation, la texture, la couleur, le pH, le °Brix, la teneur totale en vitamine C et la qualite organoleptique. Les clementines irradiees etaient moins fermes que les temoins. Le pH des clementines temoins et irradiees variait legerement au cours de l'entreposage. La teneur en solides solubles (°Brix) etait plus faible chez les clementines irradiees mais peu de difference etait observee entre les clementines lavees puis irradiees a 0,5 kGy et les temoins. La teneur en vitamine C des clementines traitees etait superieure a celle des temoins. Les resultats de l'evaluation sensorielle ont aussi montre que la qualite organoleptique des clementines irradiees etait maintenue pendant l'entreposage. Cependant les clementines lavees + irradiees atteignaient la limite d'acceptabilite apres deux semaines d'entreposage. Cette etude a demontre clairement que l'irradiation a des doses de 0,3 et 0,5 kGy, comme alternative au traitement de quarantaine, preservait la qualite des clementines, alors que le traitement a l'eau chaude, combine a l'irradiation, nuisait a leur conservation dans les conditions experimentales choisies.

Nonsurgical management of a patient with multiple dens invaginatus affecting all maxillary incisors

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

This paper discussed a patient with dens invaginatus (DI) in all maxillary incisors that was accompanied by supernumerary tooth and also bifid cingulum, lingual pit, and talon cusp on the other teeth. DI is a rare developmental malformation usually seen in the maxillary lateral incisors of permanent dentition. A healthy 22-year-old Iranian woman was referred for the treatment of carious teeth. Following comprehensive clinical and radiographic examination, that was diagnosed DI affecting all maxillary central and lateral incisors. Left maxillary central incisor was Type I and the other incisors were Type II, according to Oehlers classification. Furthermore, she had supernumerary tooth and Class III malocclusion. All teeth responded to sensibility tests, except right maxillary central incisor that was diagnosed pulp necrosis and asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Conventional root canal therapy was done for the right maxillary central incisor using mineral trioxide aggregate and gutta percha and AH26 sealer by thermoplastic method. After 18 months of follow-up, clinical and radiographical examination revealed periapical healing of the right maxillary central incisor and absence of pulp and periapical pathosis in other incisors. The early recognition of DI, correct diagnosis, and appropriate management of this tooth is essential to ensure favorable treatment outcome.
ISRAEL AND PALESTINE: SECURING THE HUMAN RIGHTS DURING THE USE OF FORCE & AND ARMED CONFLICT

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Israel and Palestine conflict has been an ongoing discussion regarding whether it is right or wrong for the Human Rights abuses and the armed conflict that has been present in the region. This conflict has been going on for many years because of the sole reason that neither side are willing to surrender or make peace through speech. The views of many nations of the world is divided in three segments, some nations support both the sides, some others support Israel and there are some nations that support Palestine. This research paper is going to cover the aspects of the origin of the conflict, the reasoning behind the conflict being present for years and whether or not certain actions taken by the Israeli forces proved fruitful for securing peace in Palestine by the use of force and armed conflict.
Performing Atheist Selves in Digital Publics

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This book considers how the non-religious self is performed publicly online, and how digital culture and technology shapes this process. Building on a YouTube case study with women vloggers, it presents unique empirical data on non-organized atheism in the United States. Lundmark suggests that the atheist self as performed online exists in tension between a perception of atheism as sinful and amoral in relation to hegemonical Christianity in the U.S., and the hyperrational, male-centered discourse that has characterized the atheist movement. She argues that women atheist vloggers co-effect third spaces of emotive resonance that enable a precarious counterpublicness of performing atheist visibility. The volume offers a valuable contribution to the discussion of how the public, the private, and areas in-between are understood within digital religion, and opens up new space for engaging with the increased visibility of atheist identity in a mediatized society.

The Rule of Law and Muggletonian Marxism: The Perplexities of Edward Thompson

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Like William Blake, Edward Thompson succeeded to think the coexistent 'contrary states' of law: as idealism and materialism, freedom and domination, community and alienation. He presented us with an enigma: how to reconcile both his idealization of the rule of law and his championing of antinomianism. Thompson himself did not deny their contrariness; he simply embraced it as a unity of opposites. The real dilemma which his writings expressed with such wit and passion was the relation between two ideals of political community: the community of law and the community of love.' It is this which lent his socialist humanism such qualities of richness and tension. In both its juridic and antinomian aspects, Thompson's approach to law was critical, subversive, brimming with bloody-minded distrust of power, and utterly dismissive of an authoritarian legalism which equates the rule of law with the will of government. The politics of socialist humanism, with its emphasis on the revolutionary and creative character of the struggles of the exploited and oppressed, provided the language to unite these two sides of Thompson's critique: its 'method' was to privilege the unity of experience over its logical segmentation. Thompson's quest to marry the 'contrary states' of law stands in stark contrast to the torn halves of contemporary political thought, divided between its Enlightenment, juridic wing, emphasizing rights and citizenship, and its Anti-Enlightenment, antinomian wing, emphasizing justice,
