There is a lot of research on leadership but not much research on how leadership handles conflict. Several research studies have investigated how leaders respond to conflict and the most common conflict management. However, no research is available to determine public preferences for conflict resolution options. The application of transformational leadership is known for its toughness and has been widely discussed. However, there is a phenomenon where school principals experience a decline and schools experience many problems. One of the factors inhibiting school progress is conflict. The author presents how to manage a school or organization in conflict settings by offering a servant leadership style. These matters are discussed in this article. This study used a quantitative survey design with 300 high school teachers as respondents to rate the leadership of school principals from 15 districts in Lampung Province. The results of Amos 23 calculations state that servant leadership has a positive effect on handling conflict (87.5%) and on teacher’s work productivity (37, 4%), while transformational leadership has a positive effect on handling conflict (8.7%) and negative effect on teacher work productivity (-68.8%). The research concludes that (1) servant leadership is a good predictor of teacher work productivity and a solution for conflict resolution in schools; (2) when there is conflict, transformational leadership is not a solution; (3) conflict handling is directly proportional to teacher work productivity; and (4) conflict handling becomes a good mediator for servant leadership and transformational leadership for teacher work productivity.","PeriodicalId":39422,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Systems and Control","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90860314","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}

Therefore, the objective of this paper is to design a repellent system that allows birds to keep away from the facilities of companies and homes. There are various methods to repel birds using traditional and technological methods, such as the use of temperature or distance sensors, microcontrollers, and sirens. Therefore, this paper describes the development of the device to keep birds away. The design of the printed circuit board, implementation of the control algorithm for the system, the evaluation of the system through simulation, and the design and development of the casing for its integration are shown. Finally, a functional prototype of the repelling device is shown, to detect the presence of the bird and immediately emit a sound that scares it away, using the algorithm integrated with the electronic system.","PeriodicalId":39422,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Systems and Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45598333","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}

Since the electrical appliances export values showed trends and seasonal variation, the researcher selected the Holt-Winters method with various initial settings, the Box-Jenkins method, and Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks (LSTM) for constructing models. The forecasting models were chosen by minimum Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) as a criterion. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) was employed to measure the accuracy of the forecasting model.

Modern ankle prostheses are devices that exchange the absent limbs, making it possible for amputees to run again. Utilizing both parallel and series spring systems, the compact semi-active ankle prosthetic is created. The leaf series springs, parallel springs, and a cam make up the ankle prosthesis's compact, semi-active model. To minimize torque and power consumption as much as possible, the parallel and series springs must work as a nonlinear system. The concise semi-active ankle prosthetic was modeled using the CADCAM software. ANSYS was employed to implement a finite element analysis of the model. Static structure simulation is carried out with a loading force of 1500 N representing the personal weight. The model is imported into MATLAB/Simulink to be controlled after being run via ADAMS for dynamic analysis. The performance of the model with control is extremely close to that of the non-amputee ankle, according to simulation data. To test this model, the concise semi-active ankle prosthetic is manufactured as is modeled using the CAD-CAM program. The control system consists of a DC motor, Arduino uno, Hbridge, encoder, and current sensor. The motion of the compact semi-active ankle prosthetic is extremely comparable to the motion of the non-amputee, according to the simulation and testing results.","PeriodicalId":39422,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Systems and Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47456448","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}

This study proposes an adaptive average GOA (AAGOA) with a nonlinear convergence parameter that can improve optimization performance by overcoming the shortcomings of the original GOA. To evaluate the optimization capability of the proposed AAGOA, the algorithm was tested on the CEC2021 benchmark set, and its performance was compared to that of the original GOA. According to the analysis of the results, AAGOA is ranked first in the Friedman ranking test and can produce better optimization results compared to its counterparts.","PeriodicalId":39422,"journal":{"name":"WSEAS Transactions on Systems and Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46014344","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}
