Postcolonial analysis of educational language policies of Ireland, Singapore, and Malaysia by Zuzanna Grala

“…Similarities and distinctions in the language policies of Ireland, Singapore, and Malaysia prove that the weak position of native languages originates not in the “natural” decline of a language, but rather in the policy of promoting English by the colonial forces. Ethnic and linguistic discrimination favouring English speakers in Ireland, Singapore, and Malaysia, originates in similar, imperial linguistic ideologies, which are still reflected in the current language policies of countries of colonial past. …”

Path planning algorithm for WCE with joint energy replenishment and data collection based on multi-objective optimization by Zhenchun WEI, Renhao SUN, Zengwei LYU, Jianghong HAN, Lei SHI, Junyi XU

“…Considering limited energy of the wireless charging equipment (WCE) in wireless rechargeable sensor network,an energy replenishment strategy and a data collection strategy are designed.On the basis of these,a path planning model for WCE with functions of joint energy replenishment and data collection based on multi-objective optimization is constructed with two optimization objectives,maximizing the total energy utility of WCE and minimizing the average delay of data transmission of all the sensor nodes in the network.To deal with it,a multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm based on elitist strategy was proposed,where the state transition strategy and the pheromone updating strategy were improved.Then,the Pareto set was obtained in terms of this multi-objective optimization problem.The parameter setting of ant colony algorithm’s effects on the proposed algorithm were analyzed under 20 sensor nodes.50 groups of contrastive experiments show that the average number of energy utilization obtained by ES-MOAC algorithm is 4.53% higher than that of NSGA-II algorithm.The average number of average delay of all node data transmission obtained by ES-MOAC algorithm is 5.12% lower than that of NSGA-II algorithm.…”
