Abstract:
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the concept of sharp power, its nature, basic characteristics and tools. Sharp power was introduced by American scientists Ch. Walker and D. Ludwig at the end of 2017 as an alternative version of soft power inherent only in totalitarian or authoritarian regimes. American researchers claim that sharp power has a set of tools such as data falsification, cyber-attacks, propaganda, manipulation of news streams, etc., and it’s aim is to undermine and discredit on Western-style democracies and democratic values in general. The author puts in doubt the statements of Western scholars that sharp power is inherent exclusively to authoritarian powers, to which they include Russia, China, Iran and several other countries. Moreover, the heuristic significance of the concept of sharp power is called into question. Also, based on the analytical work done, the author of the article offers her own version of the translation of the term sharp power into Russian language. In the conclusion, she offers a critical assessment of the concept, rather as an ideological phenomenon aimed at forming favorable attitudes to its ideologues in the international foreign policy discourse, than as a scientific concept, which is synonymous with soft power and smart power

Abstract:
The research aims to identify how China articulated soft and sharp power while fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The main argument is that the articulation between soft and sharp power is an inherent characteristic of Chinese public diplomacy. This argument features soft power as a power style operating not only in the international dimension, but also in the domestic dimension. After China’s contextualization, the analytical matrix was built from the operationalization of key concepts, namely public diplomacy, soft power and sharp power, paying attention to Chinese characteristics. The case study was led with data collected from primary and secondary sources. Besides the indication of paths for future developments, the conclusion summarizes how Chinese public diplomacy managed soft and sharp power with positive results in the international sphere and suggests that incorporating sharp power to diplomatic toolbox may be useful.

Abstract:
This study develops a theoretical framework for the concept of sharp power and applies it on the case of TikTok to gain an understanding of how China can use sharp power through TikTok. The first research question refers to how sharp power can be conceptualized and what its key components are. The second question refers to what extent China uses sharp power through TikTok. This study used a case study as a method to answer the research questions. The key components of sharp power are manipulation, censorship, propaganda, control, and influence. The result shows that China has the ability to use TikTok in its exercise of political power, meaning that they can manipulate, censor, propagate, control, and influence through the app if they want to. One of the conclusions is that the connection between the Chinese government and TikTok is clear, but it was difficult to show a direct link based on the key components of sharp power applied to the empirical material.

Abstract:
Cut mark analysis to date has been intermittently and superficially researched across a range of disciplines, despite its potential to significantly contribute to criminal investigation. The current study aims to elucidate cut mark analysis by proposing a novel classification system for the identification of knife cuts (kerfs) in bone. The system was devised, to record accurate and reliable information about cut marks and the criteria were tested for association with the knives that created them. Optical Microscopy was used to examine knife cuts on fleshed porcine bone. Incised cuts were made by a range of serrated, scalloped and fine-edged blades (n=9), by the author, and participants (n=23) were recruited to make marks on bone under the same force-measured conditions, using the Kistler force plate and a bespoke frame to control the level of height to which the knife can be raised above the bone prior to impact. Resultant kerfs were created by a single operator (n=86) and created by a range of individuals (n=186). The data suggests that consistent force was not achieved and the resultant marks on the bones made by the same knife had wide variation in their appearance and depth. The classification criteria tested did not provide discrete identification of knife blades from the assessment of kerf features; however, trends were identified from criteria including margin regularity, margin definition, floor width and wall gradient, which may form the basis for further investigation. Marks made by a single operator showed more significant associations (p<0.05) than group operators, and although kerfs from each share some trends, several significant relationships observed in marks made by a single operator are not shared by the participant group. Limitations of using optical microscopy included the inability to view all aspects of each mark, particularly when combined with variation in depth and angle produced by human operators. From the present results, it is suggested that the use of digital microscopy with a superior ability to build three dimensional images of indented marks would provide the necessary step forward to improve discrimination between knife classifications, based on the areas highlighted by the current research. This reinforces the need for further understanding of the mechanics of cut mark application in human individuals and their potential effects on kerf features.

Abstract:
Today, social media applications are used not only as a means to communicate but also as a means to exert power. In some cases, it even has gone so far that specific social media applications have been accused of constituting a threat against national security. This is the case with TikTok, today’s fastest-growing social media application in the world. TikTok is a video-sharing platform used by approximately 800 million individuals every month, developed and owned by a Chinese company named ByteDance Ltd.. The purpose of the following study is to explain how a seemingly innocent social media application like TikTok, used by individuals and owned by a private company, can constitute a threat against national security. This is performed by using the term "sharp power". The study concludes that TikTok can be used by the Chinese government to exert sharp power, enabling the state access to the global information environment.

A dissertation submitted for completion of Master of Law focuses the analysis of "limits the power of veto actions Golden Share". The Constitution guarantees the right to private property and free enterprise from the operation of economic activity as it thinks fit. The purpose of the particular, to explore certain economic activity has a single purpose, namely, the pursuit of profit and increase your personal wealth. However, in the eagerness of pursuit of profit, knows clearly that these same entrepreneurs do not hesitate to violate the rights of others, including the community. At this time, the state should interfere in economic activity in order to maintain order and social rights. The more relevant the corporate exploited by private, sharper will be the pursuit of profit. Classic examples are the activities that were previously operated by the State and through privatizations, go to the particular domain. The Golden Share is a very effective way for the state to control these abuses. However, such actions have to be used to maintain public interest in these activities most relevant economic and not as a means "political" to interfere in the private sector. Here arises the need to research and study the limits of these proceedings, that the power granted to the State is not being used for another purpose, such as the aforementioned policy
A dissertação apresentada para conclusão do mestrado em Direito tem como objeto a análise dos limites do poder de veto das ações Golden Share . A Constituição Federal garante aos particulares o direito de propriedade e a livre iniciativa da exploração da atividade econômica como bem lhe aprouver. O objetivo do particular, ao explorar determinada atividade econômica possui um único fim, qual seja, a perseguição do lucro e aumento de seu patrimônio pessoal. Contudo, no afã da busca do lucro, sabe-se claramente que estes mesmos empresários não hesitam em violar direitos de outras pessoas, inclusive da coletividade. Neste momento, deve o Estado interferir na atividade econômica, de forma a manter a ordem e os direitos sociais. Quanto mais relevante o objeto social explorado pelo particular, mais aguçada será a perseguição do lucro. Exemplos clássicos são as atividades que até então eram exploradas pelo Estado e que, através de privatizações, passam ao domínio do particular. A Golden Share é um meio muito eficaz para o Estado controlar estes abusos. Porém, tais ações têm que ser utilizadas para manter o interesse público nestas atividades de maior relevância econômica e não como meio político de interferir na iniciativa privada. Aqui surge a necessidade de pesquisar e estudar os limites destas atuações, para que a faculdade conferida ao ente Estatal não seja utilizada com outra finalidade, tal como a política acima citada

Abstract:
Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die Stabilität und Regelung von Stromnetzen mit hohem Anteil Erneuerbarer Energien (EE). Dabei stehen drei Forschungsfragen, zu den neuartigen Herausforderungen für die zukünftige Stromnetzstabilität im Zuge der Energiewende, im Vordergrund. Erstens soll untersucht werden wie die Resilienz von Stromnetzen gemessen und im zweiten Schritt auch verbessert werden kann. Dabei zeige ich den notwendigen Detailgrad für transiente Stabilitätsuntersuchungen auf. Die zweite Frage lautet wie, trotz des zunehmenden Ausbaus von EE in Verteilnetzen, die statische Spannungsstabilität garantiert und Leitungsüberlastungen verhindert werden können. Hierfür analysiere ich mit einem konzeptionellen hierarchischen Verteilnetzmodell das zukünftige Potential für die Erzeugung von Blindleistung aus dezentralen Ressourcen am Beispiel Deutschlands. Die dritte Frage, wie eine dynamisch-stabile Integration von EE möglich ist, bildet den Hauptfokus meiner Dissertation. Dabei untersuche ich wie neuartige dynamische Aspekte EE, wie intermittente Fluktuationen oder auch Mess- und Reaktionszeiten von Leistungselektronik, die dynamische Netzstabilität beeinflussen und wie mögliche Instabilitäten durch Konzepte der Nachfragesteuerung behoben werden können. Dabei stoße ich bei der Analyse lokaler intermittenter Fluktuationen in ohmschen Verteilnetzen auf ein bemerkenswertes Wechselspiel zwischen Eigenschaften der Netzdynamik und -topologie. Als Zweites zeige ich wie mit der Einführung von Leistungselektronik und den damit verbundenen Mess- und Reaktionszeiten Resonanzkatastrophen hervorrufen werden können. Schließlich präsentiere ich wie die dezentrale Nachfragesteuerung von Elektroautos dynamische Instabilitäten, hervorgerufen durch Fluktuationen von EE, bereinigen kann. Zusammenfassend behandelt diese Arbeit verschiedene Aspekt zur Stabilität zukünftiger Stromnetze und integriert dabei sukzessive neuartige dynamische Aspekte von EE.
This PhD thesis is centered around the "Stability and Control of Power Grids with high Renewable Energy Share". With a conceptual modelers approach, I tackle three overarching questions related to the novel challenges the energy transition poses for the stability of future power grids. The first question focuses on how to measure and subsequently improve the resilience of a power grid. Here, I contribute important insights on the necessary model detail for transient stability assessments. The second question concerns how to ensure static voltage stability and avoid capacity overloading while the deployment of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the distribution grid layers is massively increasing. As a possible solution to this problem I analyze the future technical potential of reactive power provision from decentral resources in Germany. The third question, and main focus of this thesis, is on how to integrate renewable energies in a dynamically stable way. Specifically, I investigate the influence of intermittent RES and measurement delays from power electronic resources on frequency stability and how the latter can be restored by concepts of demand control. First, for local intermittent fluctuations in lossy distribution grids I find a remarkable and subtle but robust interplay of dynamical and topological properties, which is largely absent for lossless grids. Second, I show how delays may induce resonance catastrophes and how the existence of critical delays sets an upper limit for measurement times. Third and last, I present how the right parameterization of decentral electric vehicle control can completely overcome issues of short-term dynamic instability related to RES fluctuations. This control avoids demand synchronization and high battery stress. Altogether, this thesis investigates the stability of future power grids moving towards integrating more aspects of renewable energy dynamics. Finally, I point out open questions to encourage further research.

Abstract:

The tendency of connecting the loads to the three phase AC system through power electronic interfaces is increasing with time. These interfaces greatly affect the performance of the power system when properly operated. The injection of reactive power by these interfaces provides the possibility to support the voltage, increase the stability margins and decrease the power losses in the power system. The power electronic loads when tightly regulated consume constant power from the grid and therefore exhibit negative resistance instability behavior. A fast control system with high stability margins is desirable for the converters. This thesis deals with the control of power electronic loads and the stability of the AC distribution system. One of the objectives of the work is to understand the basic control structure of the converters and establish the tuning rules for the PI regulators of the converter controllers. A basic power electronic converter is considered and vector control method is implemented. A mathematical model of the control system for the converter is described and transfer functions are analyzed in frequency domain for different values of grid voltage. The simulations in time domain are performed in PSCAD/EMTDC software. The simulation results validate the results from the frequency domain analysis. The simulation analysis also shows that the stability of the converter in generation mode is higher as compared to when it acts as a load. A larger model of AC distribution system with different shares of loads is investigated for the transient stability. It has been observed through simulations that the injection of reactive power during contingency greatly improve the stability limits of the system. However this increase in the stability margins comes at the cost of an increase in converter current rating. A comparison between the distributed injection by parallel converter and centralized injection through STATCOM confirms the advantages of the distributed injection.

Abstract:
This thesis develops an analytical model of a small-scale solar central receiver power plant located at the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California at 35.28° N, 120.66° W. The model is used to analyze typical energy output at any time during the year. The power plant is designed to produce an output of 100 kW electrical power, and is supplemented by the combustion of natural gas. Methodologies for determining the proper size and layout of heliostats, optimal tower height, receiver size, and turbine engine selection are developed. In this specific design, solar shares of up to 73.2% and an annual average of 44% are possible through the use of a gas-solar hybrid microturbine engine. Larger solar shares are not possible due to the limited size of land (about 0.5 acres used for this project) which limits the number of possible heliostat installations.

Abstract:
This report explores the impacts of variable renewable energy (VRE) on power trading in the European wholesale electricity market. The intricate operation of a typical power exchange in Europe is accompanied by an equally complex balancing system. The increasing amount of VRE in the power system, such as wind and solar power, has far-reaching impacts for power traders in both this electricity market and the corresponding balancing system. As a result, the electricity market is evolving in unprecedented ways and new participants are entering the playing field to capitalize on the changing dynamics caused by VRE generators. One novel participant, the virtual power plant (VPP), possesses an advantage over other market participants by aggregating VRE generators with controllable renewable energy generators, like biogas and hydro plants, into one entity. This allows the VPP to both gain access to live VRE production data that larger plants don’t have, which it then utilizes to remotely dispatch various subpools of assets, and to provide balancing services to the grid. Subsequently, VPPs are able to trade VRE and other renewable electricity superiorly on the same spot markets and balancing systems as large central power plants and industrial consumers. The report asserts that VPP traders can earn profits through means of innovative trading strategies that exploit predictable market impacts caused by VRE power through a robust understanding of the electricity market and their unique access to data.
Denna rapport undersöker effekterna av variabel förnybar energi (VRE) på krafthandeln på den europeiska elhandelsmarknaden för stora aktörer. Den komplicerade driften av ett typiskt kraftutbyte i Europa åtföljs av ett lika komplicerat balanseringssystem. Den ökande mängden VRE i kraftsystemet, såsom vind- och solkraft, har långtgående effekter för krafthandlare på både denna elmarknad och motsvarande balanseringssystem. Som ett resultat utvecklas elmarknaden på enastående sätt och nya deltagare kommer in på spelplanen för att dra nytta av den förändrade dynamiken som orsakas av VRE-generatorer. En ny spelare, det virtuella kraftverket (VPP), har en fördel jämfört med andra marknadsaktörer genom att samla VRE-generatorer med styrbara förnybara energiproducenter, som biogas och vattenkraftverk, till en enhet. Detta gör att VPP både kan få tillgång till live VRE-produktionsdata som större anläggningar inte har, som den sedan använder för att distribuera olika underpooler av tillgångar och för att tillhandahålla balanstjänster till nätet. Därefter kan VPP: er handla med VRE och annan förnybar el på ett överlägset sätt på samma spotmarknader och balanseringssystem som stora centrala kraftverk och industrikonsumenter. Rapporten visar att VPP-handlare kan göra vinster genom innovativa handelsstrategier som utnyttjar förutsägbara marknadseffekter orsakade av VRE-kraft genom en detaljerad förståelse för elmarknaden och unik tillgång till data för produktionen av förnybar energi

Abstract:
AbstractThe developments in the semiconductor industry as predicted by institutions such as the ITRS present a difficult question to hardware and software developers alike: How to implement increasingly complex, power hungry, and critical applications reliably in today’s and tomorrow’s semiconductor technology? The present trend of semiconductor technology is characterized by a sharp increase in complexity, cost, and delicacy. Also, it does not scale along the demands which are still based on and often exceed Moore’s Law. In this chapter, we propose to exploit the architectural redundancies provided by potent, yet energy efficient massively parallel architectures, modeled using Dynamically Reconfigurable Processors (DRP). Using DRPs, we built an extensive cross-layer approach, offering different levels of reliability measures to operating system (OS) and software developers through low-cost hardware redundancy schemes and appropriate physical operating condition tuning. On the hardware side, online testing schemes and error detection are deployed to trigger dynamic remapping to avoid the usage of faulty components. This approach is further complemented through hardware health monitoring that can detect reliability issues such as negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) or hot carrier injection (HCI) before they surface as an error as well as further tuning of operating conditions to delay such phenomena from surfacing.

ZusammenfassungIn a seminal study, Lettau et al. (2019) demonstrate that a single macroeconomic factor can explain a wide range of equity and nonequity portfolio returns within the U.S. market. This factor, which is based on the growth in the capital share of aggregate income, is able to outperform, yet even subsume information in well-established factor models as for instance the Fama-French three factor model. The aim of this paper is to study whether the explanatory power of this factor maintains across international equity markets.

Full text
Abstract:
An experimental study on film cooling performance of laterally inclined diffuser shaped cooling holes is presented. The measurements have been conducted on a flat plate with coolant ejected from a plenum. The film cooling effectiveness downstream of a row of four laidback fanshaped holes with sharp-edged diffusers has been determined by means of IR thermography. A variety of geometric parameters has been tested, including the inclination angle, the compound angle, the area ratio, and the pitch to diameter ratio. All tests have been performed over a wide range of engine typical blowing ratios (M = 0.5–3.0). The hot gas Reynolds number and the coolant to hot gas density ratio have been kept constant close to engine realistic conditions. The results, presented in terms of contour plots of related adiabatic film cooling effectiveness as well as laterally averaged related values, clearly show the influences of the cooling hole geometry. Increasing the area ratio and the compound angle, in general, leads to higher values of the effectiveness, whereas steeper injection causes a reduction of the effectiveness.

Abstract:
Abstract The relative incompetency of rectangular galloping excavators against conventional circular VIV harvesters is already known. In this experimental study, the hydroelastic energy performances of new right-angle isosceles triangular cylinder against circular, square and diamond cross-sections are investigated. The triangular cylinder displays VIV or galloping type of response in four different symmetrical and unsymmetrical configurations tested. The results show the distinct higher overall galloping energy performance of the triangular cylinder in Config. 2 among other VIV and galloping harvesters. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is employed to order the remaining tested cross-sections using the averaged and maximum values of the mechanical power and efficiency as criteria. The TOPSIS algorithm shows that the VIV diamond and circular harvesters stay at the second and third places of the energy performance, respectively. The preference value of the diamond and circular cross-sections are almost comparable but are less than half of that in Config. 2. In general, the sharp-edge cylinders display superior energy performance over circular cross-section. However, the axisymmetric circular cylinders, because of their omnidirectional performances, are more efficient in places with the varying flow direction.

Full text
Abstract:
The report shows that wages and the purchasing power of households have been dented considerably during the past three years, first by the COVID-19 pandemic and then, as the world economy started to recover from that crisis, by the global rise in inflation. Available evidence for 2022 suggests that rising inflation is causing real wage growth to dip into negative figures in many countries, reducing the purchasing power of the middle class and hitting low-income groups particularly hard. This cost-ofliving crisis comes on top of significant losses in the total wage bill for workers and their families during the COVID-19 crisis, which in many countries had the greatest impact on low-income groups. In the absence of adequate policy responses, the near future could see a sharp erosion of the real incomes of workers and their families and an increase in inequality, threatening the economic recovery and possibly fuelling further social unrest.

Abstract:
Just as Caribbean economies are emerging from the sharp recessions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, a confluence of external shocks now complicates the recovery. Commodity prices started rising in late 2021, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February of this year disrupted supplies and led to further price increases. The macroeconomic effects are varied across the Caribbean, depending on each country's trade specialization. However, households across the region are feeling the impact on their purchasing power. In addition, the normalization of monetary policy in global financial centers is increasing the cost of external borrowing for governments, with knock-on effects for borrowing costs for firms and households. This edition of the Caribbean Economics Quarterly provides a regional overview of the impacts of these external shocks, as well as country chapters that provide more detailed country-level information.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the course of the Agricultural Policy Research in Africa (APRA) Programme (2016-22), researchers produced over 150 publications, including Working Papers, Briefs, COVID-19 Papers, Journal Articles and several books. The intended audience of these publications varied, from the academic community to national and regional policymakers and other stakeholders; but their value is multiplied when they engage a broader audience. A key approach taken by APRA’s Information, Communication and Engagement team to further the reach of these publications was to support the researchers in publishing weekly blogs. Ranging in length from 700 to 1,000 words, these blogs condensed the key insights and messages from longer, more technical publications, particularly highlighting valuable findings and policy takeaways, into a shorter, more accessible and relevant format. With over 200 blogs published since 2018, these outputs have proved highly valuable in promoting APRA publications and events, receiving multiple viewings from a diverse audience and leading to significant subsequent downloads of the related research outputs. This report explores the use of blogs throughout the APRA programme to identify what went well and what could have been improved to expand their impact even further.

Full text
Abstract:
The global energy system’s current structure has severe environmental consequences that necessitate an urgent transformation toward more sustainable alternatives. Besides many available mitigation actions, such as enhancing energy efficiency, deploying nuclear energy, switching fuels and adopting carbon capture technologies, renewable energy (RE) has been the most widely applied one in many countries, especially for the power sector. The average country-level share of non-hydroelectric renewable energy (NhRE) in power generation rose sixfold over the last two decades, from less than 1% in 2000 to roughly 6% in 2018. Despite its wide application, significant heterogeneity exists in the RE transition across countries.

Full text
Abstract:
As of 2004 and continuously to this day, the annual growth rate of renewable sources has been greater than that of all fossil fuels combined. In the midst of this transition to cleaner energy, natural gas is the only fossil fuel that has increased its share in the global energy matrix. Technological changes in the LNG supply chain, as well as transformations in the global natural gas market, largely explain this growth. This publication provides evidence on the fundamental role that natural gas plays in the energy transition, given that: (i) its greenhouse gas emissions are substantially lower than those of oil and coal; (ii) it provides the firm power necessary to complement intermittent renewable energies; (iii) it is particularly safe compared to other fossil fuels. In line with these attributes, the International Energy Agency projects that the share of natural gas in the global energy matrix by 2040 will remain stable (around 24%), even in its Sustainable Development Scenario, which would allow to meet the goals established in the Paris Agreement.

Abstract:
We are living through an unprecedented moment of multiple crises. Tens of millions more people are facing hunger. Hundreds of millions more face impossible rises in the cost of basic goods or heating their homes. Poverty has increased for the first time in 25 years. At the same time, these multiple crises all have winners. The very richest have become dramatically richer and corporate profits have hit record highs, driving an explosion of inequality. This report focuses on how taxing the rich is vital to addressing this unprecedented polycrisis and skyrocketing inequality. The report explores how, in recent history, taxation of the richest was far higher; how talk of taxing the rich and making billionaires pay their fair share is hugely popular; and how taxing the rich claws back elite power and reduces not just economic inequality, but racial, gender and colonial inequalities, too. The report lays out how much tax the richest should pay, and the practical, tried and tested ways in which governments can raise such taxation. It shows us how taxing the rich can set us clearly on a path to a more equal, sustainable world free from poverty.
