In this paper, we propose an advanced SL position and speed (PS) approach combining an extended Kalman filter (EKF) with an Integral Backstepping controller (IBSC). The developed SLPS-IBSC-EKF method eliminates the need for position and speed sensors while maintaining high dynamic performance. To achieve this, the EKF with its optimal statistical formulation and adaptability to non-linear systems ensures precise reconstruction of rotor PS even in the presence of noise. Meanwhile, the IBSC, through its recursive design based on Lyapunov stability criteria, adaptively compensate for PMSM non-linearities, guarantees stability against external disturbances, and addresses parametric uncertainties. Furthermore, incorporating integral action significantly reduces steady-state tracking errors, improves disturbance rejection, and enhances overall control performance. Comparative analysis in Matlab/Simulink shows that the proposed method surpasses the SLPS-PI-EKF technique across several key performance metrics, including Settling time, Rise time, Rejection time, Steady-State Error and Torque ripple (peak-to-peak). These improvements represent enhancements of 91.7 %, 90.9 %, 89.9 %, 85.6 %, and 63.4 % respectively, achieved by the SLPS-IBSC-EKF compared to the SLPS-PI-EKF. Furthermore, a performance comparison table with other recent methods from the literature reinforces the advantages of the proposed method. Finally, the SLPS-IBSC-EKF is implemented and tested on a small-scale physical test bench using the DSPACE DS1104 board. The results from these tests confirm excellent correlation with simulations and demonstrate the practical viability of the proposed method for real-time implementation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21690,"journal":{"name":"Scientific African","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article e02951"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, the deterministic core of the stochastic model, excluding Markov chains, is analyzed by identifying equilibrium points and assessing their asymptotic stability analytically. The well-posedness of the stochastic system with Markov switching is then established, proving the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution. The asymptotic dynamics are subsequently investigated to pinpoint critical thresholds governing resource depletion or sustainability. This pioneering use of stochastic calculus unveils complex interactions overlooked by traditional deterministic models, constituting the primary contribution of this work. Numerical simulations substantiate the theoretical findings, offering a precise quantitative depiction of the system’s behavior and confirming the analytical implications.

Paradoxically, the very systems designed to foster learning, and adaptation can entrench outdated practices, creating <em>competency traps</em>. For example, healthcare organization may continue relying on pre-pandemic protocols because its KMS prioritizes them, or technology firm may repeatedly surface obsolete coding practices from its knowledge base. Understanding how such traps arise and how they can be prevented represents a key gap in the literature. To address this, the present review analysed 65 peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2025 to investigate the paradoxical effects of KMS. The findings integrate mechanisms, contextual factors, and interventions into a unified framework and identify seven recurring mechanisms that reinforce competency traps: codification bias, algorithmic reinforcement, rigid governance, performance-driven adherence, narrow classification, cultural legitimation, and failure to remove outdated knowledge. Environmental dynamism (the speed and unpredictability of change) tends to worsen these problems, while diverse knowledge sources and deliberate unlearning can mitigate them. From this evidence, the study proposes four intervention strategies: introducing time-based review features, increasing diversity in search and recommendation algorithms, adopting flexible governance structures, and implementing regular “challenge” processes to test prevailing knowledge. The framework connects causes, contexts, and solutions, offering clear guidance for designing KMS that remain relevant in dynamic environments. While such systems can enhance learning in stable settings, they must be deliberately managed to stay adaptive. Organizations are therefore advised to complement KMS with mechanisms that encourage questioning, experimentation, and renewal to avoid stagnation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21690,"journal":{"name":"Scientific African","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article e02946"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
