Lanterne nel buio digitale: Riconquistare l’autorità e gli archivi di dissenso di Amitav Ghosh contro la cultura degli influencer by Harjot Banga

“…Thus, the article juxtaposes the emergence of conformist influencers—new “priests” of superficial materialism—with writers’ enduring function as critical intellectuals. Based on the scholarship of thinkers such as Edward Said, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida, this thesis argues that even as social media incentivizes virality and instant consumption, thoughtful authors are consciously occupying digital space to construct richer and more nuanced discourse. …”

ON THE PROBLEMS OF BILEVEL OPTIMIZATION UNDER RCPLD CONSTRAINT QUALIFICATIONS by L. I. Minchenko, S. I. Sirotko

“…The difficulty of analyzing such complex systems requires first of all the study of bilevel models, the management of which would be an integral part of the analysis of more complex systems. In solving bilevel programming problems, an important role is played by the property of partial calmness, the presence of which allows us to reduce the bilevel problem to the classical nonlinear programming problem with a nonsmooth objective function. …”

Clustering routing protocol based on improved PSO algorithm in WSN by Xiaonian WU, Chuyun ZHANG, Runlian ZHANG, Yaping SUN

“…Aiming at the problem that the location distribution of cluster head nodes filtered by wireless sensor network clustering routing protocol was unbalanced and the data transmission path of forwarding nodes was unreasonable,which would increase the energy consumption of nodes and shorten the network life cycle,a clustering routing protocol based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm was proposed.In the process of cluster head election,a new fitness function was established by defining the energy factor and position equalization factor of the node,the better candidate cluster head node was evaluated and selected,the position update speed of the candidate cluster head nodes was adjusted by the optimized update learning factor,the local search and speeded up the convergence of the global search was expanded.According to the distance between the forwarding node and the base station,the single-hop or multi-hop transmission mode was adopted,and a multi-hop method was designed based on the minimum spanning tree to select an optimal multi-hop path for the data transmission of the forwarding node.Simulation results show that the clustering routing protocol based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm can elect cluster head nodes and forwarding nodes with more balanced energy and location,which shortened the communication distance of the network.The energy consumption of nodes is lower and more balanced,effectively extending the network life cycle.…”
