This paper proposes a method based on the Lagrange optimization function and local search technique for minimizing the total cost of two power systems. The first system comprises ten multiple fuel thermal units (MFTUs) while the second system combines the first system with renewable energies, solar and wind power. The proposed method has advantages over its conventional method without a local search technique, called the conventional Lagrange function-based method (CLM), such as having the same parameters and exploiting other search spaces after getting convergence. The proposed method is more effective than CLM for the first system with the last case of load demand. In addition, the proposed method has better costs than previous algorithms, such as the Hierarchical numerical method (HNUM), Hopfield neural network, Adaptive Hopfield neural networks (AHNN) and modified Lagrange neural network (MLANN). Especially, the proposed method can find smaller costs than them, up to $6.78, corresponding to 1.4% for Case 1, and up to $2.43, corresponding to 0.4% for Case 4. Only the proposed method is tested on the second test system. The simulation results indicate that the method is very efficient for the problem with solar and wind energies and multiple fuel thermal units.

Designing and validating structural causal model (SCM) correctness from a dataset whose background knowledge is obtained from a research process is not a common phenomenon. Studies have shown that in many critical areas, such as healthcare and education, researchers develop models from direct acyclic graphs (DAG), a component of an SCM, without testing them. This phenomenon is worrisome and is bound to cast a shadow on the inference estimates that may arise from such models. In this study, we have designed a novel application-based SCM for the first time using the background knowledge obtained from the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) program called the Strengthen Education in Northeast Nigeria (SENSE-EGRA), which is an educational intervention program of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, on the letter identification subtask. This project was sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). We employed the conditional independence test (CIT) criteria for the validation of the SCM’s correctness, and the results show a near-perfect SCM.

Breast cancer occurs due to abnormal, uncontrolled, and irregular cellular growth in the breast. The management of breast cancer includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, and bone marrow manipulation. The physical impacts of chemotherapy include sleeping problems and fatigue. The non-pharmacological efforts to relieve this fatigue include progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). The research objective was to determine the effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on the level of fatigue in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The research design was a pre-experimental one group pre-posttest design. The population is breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy as many as 35 patients. The number of respondents is 35 respondents. The sampling technique used is total sampling. The research instrument used is the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS). The test used is the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that there was an effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on the level of fatigue in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with a p value = 0.000 (<0.05). The research recommendation is Progressive Muscle relaxation (PMR) intervention as a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce the fatigue level of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in health services.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is the most common non-communicable disease (NCD) in the world. This disease is a heterogeneous disease, characterized by high glucose levels. DM is the 4th cause of death in most developing countries. One of the complications of DM is neuropathy, which is reduced sensation in the feet and is often associated with ulcers on the feet. The aim of this community service is to provide information and knowledge about promotive and preventive efforts in dealing with DM. This outreach method is pre-test, education and post-test which is carried out using leaflets and questionnaires containing questions to measure the level of community knowledge. From this counseling, results were obtained through comparison charts between the pre-test and post-test, namely that there was an increase in knowledge from before the education was carried out and after the education about diabetes mellitus and treating foot ulcers using foot exercises. It is hoped that this counseling will continue to have a good impact on participants and can change healthy living behavior for the better.
