This study looks at how teachers can improve their in-class assessment practice in the Ellembelle District in Ghana, and aims to identify the challenges confronted by teachers in classroom assessments, as well as ways to improve the classroom assessments themselves. A quantitative research method was adopted using a simple random sampling technique. The study was conducted among 207 professional teachers using a mailed questionnaire (primary data), which was analyses using statistical tools. The study found that teachers face many challenges in their classroom assessments, and thus proposed performance-based assessments, rubrics, peer assessment, portfolio assessment and self-assessment as strategies for improving classroom assessments. It is recommended that the Ghana Education Service ensure a decrease in strength in classrooms in the district, incorporate peer assessment, and conduct in-service training, self-assessment, and performance evaluation to improve effective classroom assessments.

W górnictwie podziemnym rud miedzi transport poziomy urobku realizowany jest za pomocą samojezdnych maszyn załadowczo-odstawczych. Przykładowo, w kopalniach rud miedzi KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., gdzie stosowany jest komorowo-filarowy system eksploatacji złoża, odstawa urobku realizowana jest głównie przy współpracy ładowarek łyżkowych i wozów odstawczych. W przypadku krótszych tras odstawy proces ogranicza się już tylko do ładowarek. Obecnie obserwuje się globalny trend w zakresie rozwoju predykcyjnego utrzymania ruchu maszyn górniczych, nawigacji, jak również optymalizacji produkcji z wykorzystaniem przemysłowego internetu rzeczy (ang. Industrial Internet of Things, IIoT). Rozwój analityki w tym zakresie wymaga niestety pełnego wglądu w przebieg pracy maszyny w wyrobiskach górniczych, zapewniający prowadzenie wielowymiarowych analiz do szerszego zrozumienia kontekstów eksploatacji maszyny. W artykule przedstawiono metodę identyfikacji cykli odstawy, jak również składowych podprocesów, realizowanych w każdym pojedynczym cyklu. Zaproponowany algorytm bazuje na użyciu operacji splotu, w celu detekcji skoków obserwowanych w sygnale ciśnienia z siłownika układu hydraulicznego wychyłu łyżki.

In underground mining of cooper ores, horizontal transport of material is performed using self-propelled machines, especially Load-Haul-Dump machines. For example, in KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. underground mines, where room-and-pillar system is used to deposit exploitation, the haulage process is provided by wheel loaders and haul trucks with suitably adjusted operation configuration. In case of shorter haulage routes, only wheel loaders take part in haulage process. Currently, there is observed a global tendency reliant on develop predictive maintenance as well as navigation or production optimization using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Unfortunately, analytics development in this domain requires full insight into machine’s workflow in mining excavations and multivariate analysis in order widely understanding of machine operating contexts. In this article, a quick method to haulage cycle identification on example of wheel loader has been proposed. Developed algorithm is based on hydraulic pressure signal segmentation which provides to recognize loading operation, haulage and return of machine to mining face after unloading material in dumping point. The method is based on smooth hydraulic pressure signal in order to reduce signal interference but introduce to apply a convolution of smoothed signal with inverted step function. The advantage of the algorithm is its simplicity, high accuracy, robustness and low algorithmic complexity.

The paper focuses on finite element (FE) modelling of in-plane response of retrofitted masonry walls when subjected to quasi-static in-plane cyclic loading. The retrofit technique involves inserting inclined and horizontal stainless steel bars, already practiced in several historical masonry constructions in Japan. The strength of the pinning technique is ease of construction and it maintains the original appearance of the URM walls. This paper presents a 2D FE model for the retrofitted masonry walls, where continuum elements represent brick units, interface elements represent brick unit/mortar interface, and truss elements represent reinforcing bars. FE model with the proposed simplified equivalent vertical bar model, to represent the inclined inserted reinforcing bars, is validated by comparisons with the experimental results. It was found from the experimental and numerical results that retrofitted specimens showed substantial increment in both strength and ductility and showcased the applicability of the pinning retrofitting technique for historical masonry constructions.

W artykule skoncentrowano się na modelowaniu elementami skończonymi naprawionych ścian murowych poddanych quasi statycznemu, płaskiemu obciążeniu cyklicznemu. Technika naprawy, zastosowana w Japonii w różnych obiektach historycznych o konstrukcji murowej, wymaga wkładania ukośnych i poziomych nierdzewnych prętów stalowych. Zaletą takiej techniki kołkowania jest łatwość wykonania oraz zachowanie niezmienionego wyglądu ścian bez zbrojenia. W artykule przedstawiono dwuwymiarowy model elementów skończonych dla naprawianych ścian murowych, gdzie elementy ciągłe przedstawiają poszczególne cegły, elementy kontaktowe odwzorowują powierzchnię styku cegły i zaprawy, a elementy kratownicowe przedstawiają pręty zbrojenia. Model elementów skończonych z zaproponowanym uproszczeniem zastąpienia prętów ukośnych elementami pionowymi został zweryfikowany przez porównanie z wynikami badań doświadczalnych. Na podstawie wyników badań doświadczalnych i numerycznych stwierdzono, że naprawione elementy wykazują znaczący wzrost wytrzymałości i plastyczności, co potwierdza możliwość stosowania tej metody naprawy w historycznych obiektach o konstrukcji murowej.

Cities across the globe perceive their opportunities for digital transition pathways. This paper presents a project and strategy-based assessment of smart city ambitions in the light of sustainable urban development pathways in the European Union capitals considering the programming period 2014-2020. The purpose of the research is to understand better the smart city trends in Europe and identify any correlation between smart city and sustainability ambitions through the European capitals. The basis of the research was the official project result platforms of European funds with priorities related to smart cities. The collected best practices of transnational smart city projects provide statistics from the previous programming period and draw attention to the developing trends of smart city functions and the activity level of European capitals in the digital transition. Results show that between 2014 and 2020 nearly half of the capitals owned a specific smart city strategic document. Evaluating the smart urban performance of the capitals, it can be stated that most smart solutions were implemented related to mobility and environment in the previous period. Furthermore, it was also considered whether smart city projects could facilitate the shift toward sustainability. Based on the assessment of their planning strategies, a complex image of the European capitals has been revealed in their smart city development concepts; their strategic-level planning can be understood better, which is essential for policymaking in the era of digitalisation, identifying synergies with sustainable urban development ambitions, and monitoring the reached targets at the city level.

The aim of this paper is to present a one-year performance analysis of four grid-connected PV systems installed at Ghardaia city in Algeria’s Sahara. The grid-connected PV systems are based on four different PV module technologies which are: monocrystalline silicon (m-Si), multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si), cadmium telluride (Cd-Te) and amorphous (a-Si) PV module technologies. The PV systems based on the thin film technologies have their performance ratio better throughout the year when the performance ratio of the mc-Si technology is better in the winter season. The a-Si PV system has its performance ratio about 6.13 % more better than mc-Si and 8.90 % better than m-Si. The AC energy produced with the a-Si PV system is 13.32 % more than what the mc-Si system produces. It was found that the a-Si PV system performs better than the other technologies under the Saharan climate conditions of Ghardaia city. The energy payback time (EPBT) and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of the different PV systems were analyzed. The EPBT and GHG emissions per year, vary from a minimum value of 2.8 years to a maximum value of 5.73 years and from 13.24 tons to 32.03 tons of CO2/kWh for CdTe and m-Si respectively. The CdTe PV system performs better in terms of EPBT and GHG emissions compared to the other technologies (m-Si, mc-Si and a-Si) due to its low life cycle energy requirement.
