The development of accurate energy forecasting models for smart grids is strongly dependent on the availability of high-quality and high-resolution datasets. However, in many developing regions, particularly in Morocco, such datasets remain scarce, incomplete, or non-public. This limitation significantly constrains the application of advanced machine learning and deep learning techniques for energy demand prediction and grid optimization. This paper proposes a novel hybrid synthetic energy data ...

Communication is today a fragmented scientific object, analyzed through multiple approaches—sociological, semiotic, informational, and technological—but rarely unified around its psychological foundations. This article proposes an epistemological refoundation of Information and Communication Sciences (ICS) through the concept of the Psychology of Communication. Drawing on a narrative synthesis of the literature on foundational paradigms—behaviorist, cognitivist, constructivi...

Chapter 5 of A Dream of Red Mansions, “Jia Baoyu’s Soul Visits the Land of Illusion”, integrates Taoism, Buddhism, folk beliefs, and literati traditions into a complex system of cultural symbols. From the perspective of cultural translation, this paper examines the two English versions by David Hawkes and the Yangs (Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang), analyzing three dimensions: core concepts, mythological images, and allusions. The study reveals that the two translators’ strategic choices do n...

Given the intercultural nature of Seventh-day Adventist congregations in the Windhoek District of Namibia, intercultural sensitivity is essential for fostering unity and advancing the mission of the church. This study examined the intercultural sensitivity of SDA youth in the Windhoek District, focusing on how they perceive, experience, and engage with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds within church settings. The study was guided by Chen and Starosta’s Intercultural Sensitivity Theor...

Under the multiple backgrounds of the “double carbon” goal, the promotion of the national energy security strategy and the iteration of new generation information technology, digital intelligence has become the core engine to solve the development dilemma of “two deep, one non-standard and one old” in the oil industry and promote the high-quality transformation of the traditional oil and gas industry. Digital terminology (defined herein as the standardized set of technical terms, semantic...

Chinese character literacy instruction for lower primary grades is commonly confronted with practical challenges, including weak association between character form, sound and meaning, high cognitive load in single-modal learning, and poor sustained attention of students. As a pilot study, this research adopted a quasi-experimental design and recruited 44 second-grade students from two parallel classes of a primary school. The experimental group received literacy instruction via a speech-interact...

Cigarette butts are among the most abundant urban residues worldwide and constitute an emerging source of aquatic pollution due to the release of nicotine and other toxic compounds into the environment. In the present work, the acute toxicity of nicotine solutions and cigarette butt leachates was evaluated using fish, specifically juveniles of Poecilia reticulata, under controlled and standardized laboratory conditions. Acute toxicity assays of nicotine were performed, exposing fis...

This study investigated the formulation, physicochemical evaluation, and instrumental characterization of sustainable carbo tablets prepared from coconut shell-derived activated carbon using gelatin and sodium alginate as binder systems in accordance with United States Pharmacopeia (USP 30) standards. Five formulations comprising gelatin-based tablets (FCTG) and sodium alginate formulations containing 1% - 4% binder concentrations (FCTa1-FCTa4) were developed and compared with a commercial carbo...

The myth of Perseus and Medusa has stimulated the imagination of numerous artists, who have developed variations on both the reference symbols and the styles and content of its narrative, employing different languages, from poetry, sculpture, and painting, to contemporary cinema, beginning in the 8th century BC. This work, therefore, aims to identify the possible determinants of this persistence, employing a model that integrates psychoanalysis, anthropology, and semiotics, placing its use also ...

Many young people in Kenya grow up in settings where motivation, goal focus, and school connectedness develop with uneven adult guidance and limited structured support, yet these characteristics remain central to Positive Youth Development (PYD). The study examined the link between these characteristics and PYD of secondary school adolescents within school-based mentorship programs in Kibra Sub-County, Nairobi County. It utilized a cross-sectional convergent parallel design involving sampling of...
