Unknown power quality disturbances classification based on transfer learning approach with imbalanced data considerations by Mohammad Mosayebi, Sasan Azad, Mohammad Taghi Ameli

“…In practical scenarios, disturbance occurrences are inherently unpredictable, and the operational conditions of the power system further contribute to their uneven distribution. This imbalance negatively impacts model efficiency. While a well-trained model can achieve high accuracy for a specific set of disturbances, its performance often deteriorates when exposed to unknown ones, necessitating continuous updates. …”

Presenting a model for the establishment and maintenance of expert human resources in the government organizations of Sistan and Baluchestan province by Majid Reza Dahmardeh, Vahid pourshahabi, Amin Reza Kamalian, Habibollah Salaerzehi

“…Today, leaving a job has attracted a lot of attention from researchers and organizational leaders, which is mainly related to important organizational and individual consequences such as job performance, organizational behavior, job attitudes, and negative psychological consequences. In the event of a drop in specialized forces, the movement of the organization will be affected and it will appear as a problem for the managers of the organizations who seek to preserve, maintain, improve and improve the productivity of their human resources, which can bring irreparable consequences for the organization (Khalili Tabar et al., 2020).The basis of every organization is development and movement, and this is possible through specialized and efficient human resources. …”

Disillusioning the benefits of renewable energy in energy intensity: global panel analysis by Taeyoung Jin

“…The results show that a 1% increase in the share of renewable energy is associated with a 0.20% reduction in TES-based energy intensity, primarily through enhanced generation efficiency. However, this mediating effect does not appear when energy intensity is measured using total final consumption (TFC), indicating no improvement in demand-side efficiency. …”

Innovation network, knowledge spillover, and urban green economic performance by Dan Zhao, Chenghui Tang, Xiaolin Huang

“…Based on unique patent transaction data, this study analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution of urban innovation networks and their impacts and internal mechanisms on regional green total factor productivity (GTFP) using social network analysis, data envelopment analysis, and a negative binomial model. It was found that (1) the enhancement of intercity innovation linkages and their networked development have significantly improved urban GTFP and the innovation network’s embeddedness helps obtain network externalities to improve urban GTFP. (2) The innovation network promotes inter-regional production factor flow and optimal allocation and generates knowledge spillover effects to improve green technology innovation capacity, thus improving urban GTFP. (3) Spatial heterogeneity exists in the impact of the innovation network on the GTFP of different regions and economically developed big cities by gathering more innovation resources, forming closer innovation links, improving the level of green technology innovation and production efficiency, and contributing to urban GTFP. …”
