À propos des modes de construction du territoire en pays jóola : sources écrites, traditions villageoises et matériaux ethnographiques by Odile Journet-Diallo

“…Texts from the 18th century provide a glimpse of the complexity of territorial divisions, which becomes even clearer in the writings left by 19th-century colonial officials. Unable to rely on any institution organized as a chieftaincy or clan in these societies, which resisted centralized authority, the setting of administrative boundaries encountered another difficulty, namely the instability of territorial units and of the latter’s relations with each other. …”

A hybrid model for smart grid theft detection based on deep learning by Yinling LIAO, Jincan LI, Bing WANG, Jun ZHANG, Yaoyuan LIANG

“…A hybrid deep learning model was proposed to effectively detect electricity theft in smart grids.The hybrid model employed a deep learning convolutional neural network (AlexNet) to tackle the curse of dimensionality, significantly enhancing data processing accuracy and efficiency.It further improved classification accuracy by differentiating between normal and abnormal electricity usage using adaptive boosting (AdaBoost).To resolve the issue of class imbalance, undersampling techniques were utilized, ensuring balanced performance across various data classes.Additionally, the artificial bee colony algorithm was used to optimize hyperparameters for both AdaBoost and AlexNet, effectively boosting overall model performance.The effectiveness of this hybrid model was evaluated using real smart meter datasets from an electricity company.Compared to similar models, this hybrid model achieves accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), and area under the curve-receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) scores of 88%, 86%, 84%, 85%, 78%, and 91%, respectively.The proposed model not only increases the accuracy of electricity usage monitoring, but also offers a new perspective for intelligent analysis in power systems.…”

On the Difficulty of Refuting or Confirming the Arguments about the Caste System by Dunkin Jalki, Sufiya Pathan

“…It is not only the quest for more data, which is expected to save the ‘theories’ of the caste system, but also a struggle to match the thus collected field data with the claims about the caste system that unites the colonial and modern writers on the caste system. This paper suggests that the failure of caste scholars to account for field data is not a result of the complexity of the field, but rather an outcome of the kind of entity that the ‘caste system’ is. …”

HACIA UNA PEDAGOGÍA EN CLAVE DECOLONIAL: ENTRE APERTURAS, BÚSQUEDAS Y POSIBILIDADES by Cristhian James Díaz M.
