INFORMATION-ENERGY METHODOLOGY OF THE AIRCRAFT WITH ELECTRIC PROPULSION ENERGY COMPLEX DESIGN by B. V. Zhmurov, S. P. Khalyutin, A. O. Davidov

“…The proposed information-energy technique provides an opportunity to develop electric and hybrid aircraft with optimal weight and size and energy characteristics due to: electricity consumption timeline optimization through the redistribution of electric end users switch on moments, which provides a more uniform power mode, allowing the same set of electric users to reduce generator rated power, and as a result reduce the flight weight; manage a distributed system of electricity generation that provides the ability to use diverse energy sources; faul tsafety management based on rapid changes in the power network topology; energy recovery control; the sources, converters and users (input circuit) and power network real-time diagnostic operations.…”

Narrative Sandplay Interviews: Methodology, Implications and Lessons Learned From a COVID-19 Border Study by Tarryn Phillips, Poh Lin Lee, Catherine Trundle

“…We outline the historical background and epistemological underpinnings of narrative sandplay, offer a practical step-by-step guide to the interviewing method, and report on lessons learned from its use in a project about COVID-related border closure in Australia. The technique, we argue, offers five methodological opportunities: 1) Embedded reflexivity : the researcher must first experience a narrative sandplay interview themselves, a political act that encourages reflexivity about the historically entrenched power dynamics in the research process and disrupts the often extractive nature of the researcher's gaze; 2) Multistoried people: the fluid nature of sand and ability to continuously change the tableau allows people to decentre dominant narratives and move towards more inclusive and empowering ways of conceptualising their lives; 3) The powerful possibilities of play: the nonconformist and imaginative element of play enable new possibilities for understanding the self and finding solidarity with others ; 4) Attunement to space: the use of objects, movement and space sets a tone for the interview that is sensitive to materiality and the more-than-human; and 5) Recursive dwelling: recorded sandplay conversations are audio-visually rich, enabling researchers and participants to revisit, dwell in and dialogically accrue new insights and reflections from the material. …”
