The Problem of Evil: by A.S. Antombikums

“… Open theism argues that traditional responses to the problem of evil fail to provide comfort amidst suffering because of their notion of metaphysical determinism and over-dependence on Greek philosophy. Open theists argue that the best solution to the problem of evil lies in our understanding of the nature of God’s power, which has been relinquished due to his love, the open nature of creation, and the creatures’ inherent powers. …”

Active frequency support capability evaluation of photovoltaic stations based on bi-level evaluation method by Zhengxi Li, Libin Yang, Wanpeng Zhou, Chunlai Li

“…By considering several national standards, a comprehensive evaluation indicator system of AFSC for PV stations is established from three aspects: frequency stability, power support, and power regulation. In order to avoid the impact of subjective factors, this paper proposes a bi-level evaluation model combining decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and antagonistic interpretive structural modeling (AISM) for weighting the indicators. …”

A hydropower plant scheduling model considering the stochastic correlation between runoff and electricity prices by WU Ying, WANG Juefei, LI Junjie, WANG Kun, SHEN Yan, WU Yingjun

“…To address this， a scheduling model is proposed that aims to maximize expected net revenue while minimizing medium- to long-term operational risks. First， using the conditional value at risk （CVaR） theory， marginal distribution functions are utilized to characterize the risks of runoff uncertainty and electricity price volatility （EPV）， enabling accurate risk assessment for market-operated hydropower plants. …”

Segment-based Volatile Organic Compound Emission Characteristics from Different Types of Coking Plants in China by Rumei Li, Yulong Yan, Lin Peng, Yinghui Li, Zhuocheng Liu, Zhanchun Fan, Huanfeng Li, Yang Xu, Cheng Wang, Dongmei Hu, Zhiyong Li

“…Abstract The source profiles, emission factors, and chemical reactivity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated by two typical coking plants, one employing a non-recovery process and the other, a mechanical process, in Shanxi Province, a major coking hub in China, were determined for different segments of coke production during normal operations. The primary components in the stack flue gas were ethylene, 1-butene, benzene, acetylene, and 2,2-dimethylbutane for the non-recovery plant and styrene, benzene, and ethylene for the mechanical plant. …”

Pathways Through Which Green Exposure Type Influences Cardiovascular Diseases Mortality in Shanghai, China by Jianzhong HUANG, Yanting XU, Lan WANG, Zhouqian HE

“…Building density, in particular, can indirectly influence the influence of green exposure on CVDs mortality by modulating physical activity levels as a mediating factor.ConclusionThis research offers an in-depth analysis of the complex mechanisms by which various types of green exposure influence CVDs mortality, with a particular focus on the key mediating role of physical activity. Findings suggest that increasing street greenery, vegetation coverage, and per capita park area can significantly enhance residents’ physical activity levels, which in turn helps lower CVDs mortality. …”
