OPTIMIZACIÓN DE PARÁMETROS Y DE VALORES DE INICIO PARA EL MODELO DE HOLT BASADO EN SEÑALES DE RASTREO OTIMIZAÇÃO DE PARÂMETROS E DE VALORES DE INÍCIO PARA O MODELO DE HOLT BASEADO... by Carlos Alberto Castro, Diana Cecilia Uribe

“…This paper proposes a different way to obtain the parameter values and initial conditions of the Holts model, optimizing the tracking signal range (TSR), in order to achieve a more robust model from the viewpoint of accuracy of the results and historical performance. Some comparisons between the proposed approach and the traditional methods based on the mean absolute deviation (MAD) and the mean square error (MSE) are provided. …”

Reduced global warming from CMIP6 projections when weighting models by performance and independence by L. Brunner, A. G. Pendergrass, A. G. Pendergrass, A. G. Pendergrass, F. Lehner, F. Lehner, A. L. Merrifield, R. Lorenz, R. Knutti

“…Here, we use a model weighting approach, which accounts for the models' historical performance based on several diagnostics as well as model interdependence within the CMIP6 ensemble, to calculate constrained distributions of global mean temperature change. …”

Cooperação e apoio técnico entre estado e municípios: a experiência do programa articuladores da atenção básica em São Paulo Cooperation and technical support between state and mun... by Marta Campagnoni Andrade, Elen Rose Lodeiro Castanheira

“…In this process, the State Health Departments, represented by CONASS, start to redefine the State's functions regarding Primary Care. In the historical performance of the State Health Department in Primary Care in São Paulo, one of the marks that was left refers to the professional expertise in this field, which, with the municipalization process, migrated to the municipalities, especially the larger ones, or redefined their action areas within the State Health Department, migrating to areas like epidemiologic and sanitary surveillance, evaluation and control areas, among others. …”

Q-learning whale optimization algorithm for test suite generation with constraints support by Hassan, Ali Abdullah, Salwani, Abdullah, Kamal Z., Zamli, Rozilawati, Razali

“…Unlike WOA, QWOA-EMC permits just-in-time adaptive selection of its operators (i.e., between shrinking mechanism, spiral shape mechanism, and random generation) based on their historical performances as well as exploits the Monte Carlo Acceptance probability to further strengthen its exploration capabilities by allowing a poor performing operator to be reselected with probability in the early part of the iteration. …”

La crise contemporaine haïtienne : entre manœuvres politiques et corruptions by Evens Jabouin

“…Going back as far as the first years following Haiti’s Independence, this article traces the historical performances that would be considered as the main causes of the current crisis, showing how corruption has been, not only an obstacle to social cohesion, but also a constraint on Haiti’s economic development, for it has enabled to waste the public treasury, and to deepen the divides between Black and Metis, and between rural and urban populations. …”

Co-Simulation of Transmission and Distribution Systems—From Modeling to Software Development by Karthikeyan Balasubramaniam, Siby Plathottam, Sang-Il Yim, Ning Kang, Kumarsinh Jhala, Rojan Bhattarai, Shijia Zhao

“…Adequate in this context refers to capturing the characteristics of the distribution system to the required degree such that reasonable estimates about BPS stability can be ascertained. Historically, performing such studies on a large transmission system connected to multiple distribution systems have been limited due to the unavailability of software capable of executing high fidelity simulation at the required scale on personal workstations i.e. not having to resort to high performance computing resources. …”

Let it not be that nursing that asks for silence: participation in social movements and sociopolitical-emancipatory knowledge by Ana Renata Moura Rabelo, Kênia Lara da Silva

“…Nursing care is conceived as a political practice that, influenced by learning from social movements, must go through a denial of the historically performed form. Final Considerations: participation in social movements triggers sociopolitical-emancipatory knowledge, resulting in differentiated care, a way of acting oriented towards reducing inequalities.…”
