Investigating Potential Interactive Effects Between Limbal Rings and Facial Attractiveness

AbstractLimbal rings are dark bands in the eyes that circle the iris. Previous research suggests that the presence of limbal rings augments perceptions of male faces as healthy and attractive, particularly among female perceivers. Nonetheless, a degree of heterogeneity exists in attractiveness effects across different stimulus sets. One possibility of this discrepancy could be previously undetected differences in attractiveness across different social targets that impede a clearer understanding for the signal value of limbal rings. Namely, it could be possible that the attractiveness advantage of faces with limbal rings is most apparent among highly attractive stimuli. This study sought to reconcile this discrepancy by developing a novel stimulus set that systematically varies the attractiveness of social targets in addition to the presence of limbal rings in male faces. Women evaluated these targets based on perceptions of their health and attractiveness. Although limbal rings continued to augment perceptions of health in male faces, no differences emerged in the attractiveness of faces with and without limbal rings.

Does vibrotactile biofeedback for postural control interfere with cognitive processes?

BackgroundDirectional vibrotactile biofeedback for balance control can be instructed in the form of Repulsive (to move in the opposite direction of vibrations) or Attractive (to move in the direction of vibrations) stimulus encodings. However, which of these encodings is less cognitively demanding and poses less interference with high-level cognitive processes of conflict resolution remains unresolved.MethodsIn two between-subject studies with 30 (16 females) and 35 (23 females) healthy young adults, respectively, we investigated the cognitive load of Attractive and Repulsive vibrotactile biofeedback on 1) working memory (Study I) and 2) cognitive conflict resolution (Study II). Both studies also examined the effectiveness of both feedback stimulus encodings on balance control during quiet standing with eyes closed.ResultsBoth Attractive and Repulsive vibrotactile biofeedback increased balance stability (reduced trunk sway variability) in both the working memory and the conflict resolution study (Study I and II, respectively) with a greater increase of stability for the Repulsive encoding during multitasking demanding cognitive conflict resolution (Study II). Cognitive costs, measured in terms of the Linear Integrated Speed-Accuracy Score (LISAS), were greater for the Attractive encoding during multitasking with working memory demands. When cognitive conflict resolution was required as a secondary cognitive task, both stimulus encodings increased cognitive costs equally.ConclusionsThe effects of instructed Repulsive and Attractive stimulus encodings for the response-related interpretation of vibrotactile biofeedback of body sway were contrasted with respect to cognitive processing demands and balance stabilisation benefits. Both encodings improved balance stability but at certain cognitive costs. Regarding interference with specific high-level cognitive processes, however, a distinction has to be made between both encodings. Repulsive feedback encoding seems to cause less cognitive costs on working memory load and slightly greater stabilisation when cognitive conflict resolution is required. These results are discussed in the context of the known benefits of avoidance actions on cognitive control.

Attraction Toward One's Partner is Associated with Sexual Desire, Satisfaction, and Distress Among Couples Coping with Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder.

The sexual incentive motivation model suggests that attractive stimuli activate the sexual response system. Attraction toward one's partner has been linked to greater sexual satisfaction, but no quantitative studies have examined its links to sexual desire or distress among those with sexual dysfunction. We examined associations between daily attraction toward one's partner and sexual satisfaction, desire, and distress for individuals with Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder (SIAD) and their partners. Participants (N = 227 couples) completed daily online surveys measuring attraction for one's partner, sexual desire, satisfaction, and distress. Multilevel models showed that on days when women and gender diverse individuals with SIAD reported higher attraction for their partner, they and their partners reported higher sexual satisfaction and desire, and their partners reported lower sexual distress. On days when partners reported higher attraction, both they and participants with SIAD reported higher sexual desire and partners reported lower sexual distress; however, women and gender diverse individuals with SIAD reported higher sexual distress. Daily fluctuations in attraction may be important for daily fluctuations in sexual wellbeing among couples coping with SIAD. Findings may inform novel treatment targets for SIAD.

Simulating the Adoption of a Retail CBDC

Abstract We use agent-based modelling to build a digital twin of the retail payment system, where heterogeneous consumers and merchants interact, learn, and adapt as they meet and use different monies and payment instruments. As we introduce an rCBDC, the model simulates its adoption. We calibrate this digital twin to Spain’s retail payment ecosystem. We run hypothetical scenarios that correspond to public discussions about the digital euro. Results show that introducing an rCBDC without attractive design options and stimulus results in low and slow adoption. Results suggest that the reverse waterfall functionality, a positive remuneration spread, and the distribution of government subsidies via rCBDC are effective in fostering adoption; yet, the distribution of government subsidies via rCBDC is the only one that creates incentives to reduce the use of cash. Balance limits and top-up limits are effective in restraining adoption. Results also suggest that combining design options and stimulus with limits to holding rCBDCs could aid in achieving a sweet spot of adoption.

Neuromarketing y comportamiento en la decisión de compra del consumidor de una tienda online Asiri Munay, Lima – Perú

This study investigates the influence of neuromarketing on consumer buying decision behavior in online stores, focusing on the emotional, instinctive and rational dimensions. The methodology used was characterized by a quantitative approach, adopting a basic non-experimental design with an explanatory level. The data was collected through a form in Google Forms, obtaining a sample of 124 potential customers of Asiri Munay store. The results revealed a strong correlation between the aforementioned dimensions and buying decision behavior in online stores, highlighting the influence of strategies that include positive emotional experiences, attractive visual stimuli and presentation of logical and persuasive information. Specifically, it was found that consumers respond favorably to strategies that generate positive emotions, visual appeal, and compelling rational arguments when making purchasing decisions in digital environments. These findings suggest the importance of integrating neuromarketing into digital marketing strategies to improve customer experience and increase online conversions. In conclusion, this study highlights the need to adapt online marketing strategies to take advantage of the emotional, instinctive and rational dimensions of buying decision behavior, which can lead to greater commercial success in the digital environment. Additionally, it provides a solid foundation for implementing neuromarketing practices in e-commerce, which can be more effective and satisfying for online businesses.

Toward a push–pull strategy against invasive snails using chemical and visual stimuli

Four invasive Mediterranean snails, i.e., Theba pisana (Müller, 1774), Cernuella virgata (da Costa, 1778), Cochlicella acuta (Müller, 1774) and Cochlicella barbara (Linnaeus, 1758) cost $170 million yearly to the grain industry in Australia. Their impact is mainly due to their estivation behavior: snails climb on cereal and legume stalks to rest during summer, which coincides with harvest, causing grain contamination issues in crops such as wheat, barley and canola. Diverse management methods have been developed to regulate snail populations, with limited success. Our study investigates the potential for a push–pull strategy to divert invasive snails from cultivated fields. A “push” part (i.e. using a repellent stimuli) was based on the use of a chemical deterrent repelling snails from the cultivated field, and a “pull” part (i.e. using an attractive stimuli) was based on offering attractive estivation supports for snails to aggregate outside the cultivated field. First, artificial estivation supports of different colors were tested under laboratory and field conditions and showed that red supports were the most attractive for these snails. Second, different substances were tested as potential snail deterrents (garlic, coffee, coffee grounds, copper). Garlic extracts were the most powerful snail deterrent and were shown to effectively protect an estivation support and food source from snails under laboratory conditions. These results, which were highly consistent for the four species, illustrate the potential of a push–pull strategy against invasive snails in Australia. It is the first attempt to develop a push–pull strategy relying on both visual and chemical stimuli to achieve results, as well as manipulating the estivation behavior of a pest.

To attract a moth: Wind tunnel and field testing of plant odor and light stimuli and their combination for Ostrinia nubilalis

AbstractThe European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner), relies on multimodal sensory information to find food, mates, mating and ovipositional grounds. Successful phytosanitary monitoring demands for the bait for the field traps to obtain the most reliable representation of pest abundance. Attraction to light and blend of key components of host plant odor, was tested both in the laboratory and field conditions. Ultraviolet light, which was the most effective in the wind tunnel experiments, was further tested in the field alone and in combination with bisexual lure. Bisexual lure, being attractive in the lab, as well as in the field, did not improve responses to ultraviolet in both experimental designs. All three baits attracted significantly more females than males in the field. Wind tunnel experiments revealed that ultraviolet elicited the shortest response latencies either alone or paired with the odor bait. The lack of synergistic effect between attractive light and odor stimuli is an important issue for pest monitoring. The possible reasons for the observed lack of synergy are the hierarchy of behavioral responses to different stimuli or the intensities of both stimuli are critically important for attractivity of combined stimulus and differ from separately presented ones.

Signal integration in chemoreceptor complexes

Motile bacteria use large receptor arrays to detect chemical and physical stimuli in their environment, process this complex information, and accordingly bias their swimming in a direction they deem favorable. The chemoreceptor molecules form tripod-like trimers of receptor dimers through direct contacts between their cytoplasmic tips. A pair of trimers, together with a dedicated kinase enzyme, form a core signaling complex. Hundreds of core complexes network to form extended arrays. While considerable progress has been made in revealing the hierarchical structure of the array, the molecular properties underlying signal processing in these structures remain largely unclear. Here we analyzed the signaling properties of nonnetworked core complexes in live cells by following both conformational and kinase control responses to attractant stimuli and to output-biasing lesions at various locations in the receptor molecule. Contrary to the prevailing view that individual receptors are binary two-state devices, we demonstrate that conformational coupling between the ligand binding and the kinase-control receptor domains is, in fact, only moderate. In addition, we demonstrate communication between neighboring receptors through their trimer-contact domains that biases them to adopt similar signaling states. Taken together, these data suggest a view of signaling in receptor trimers that allows significant signal integration to occur within individual core complexes.

Olfactory Preferences of Sitophilus zeamais to Cereal- and Legume-Based Pasta.

We compared the attractiveness of five commercially available Italian macaroni pastas of different shapes (penne, casarecce, and fusilli) made from cereals and/or legumes [100% Triticum durum; 100% Cicer arietinum; 100% Lens esculenta; 50% Triticum durum + 50% Cicer arietinum; 60% Triticum durum + 40% Lens esculenta] to adults of Sitophilus zeamais (L.). A multiple-choice walking bioassay showed that S. zeamais adults were more attracted to cereal than legume pastas. The modified Flit-Track M2 trap devices baited with pasta made with 100% T. durum captured an average of 61.4% of the adults released into the olfactometric arena after 7 days. Of the insects tested, pasta made with 100% C. arietinum trapped 3.8%, pasta made with 100% L. esculenta trapped 2.7%, pasta made with 50% T. durum + 50% C. arietinum trapped 4.3%, and pasta made with 60% T. durum + 40% L. esculenta trapped 4.2%. When individually compared, 79.6% of S. zeamais adults chose the Triticum durum pasta. Orientation to 100% Cicer pasta or 100% Lens pasta was not observed. In the choice test, only 37% and 25% were attracted to Triticum and Cicer pastas or Triticum and Lens pasta, respectively. Our results confirm that the low attractiveness of legume pasta is mainly due to the lack of attractant stimuli rather than the emission of repellent compounds. From a practical perspective, it is also interesting to note how mixed pasta decreases the risk of S. zeamais infestation.

Spatiotemporally Controllable Electrical Stimulator via Independent Photobending and Upconversion Photoluminescence Using Two Different Wavelengths of Near-Infrared/Visible Light as Dual Stimuli.

Multistimuli responsive materials are advantageous in that they can enhance the desired response or bypass unwanted reactions. Light is one of the most attractive stimuli since it allows remote spatiotemporal control and multiplexing of properties (e.g., wavelength, intensity, irradiation time, pulsed/continuous wave) for application on multiphotoresponsive materials. However, the operating wavelength for such photoresponsive systems often includes an ultraviolet (UV) range that limits its use in the biomedical field. Herein, we investigate near-infrared (NIR)/visible (Vis) light-responsive nanocomposite films composed of rare earth element (i.e., Yb, Er)-doped NaYF4 nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in azobenzene-incorporated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (AzoPDMS), silk fibroin, and silver nanowire (AgNW) layers. Photobending (PB) of the nanocomposite film is induced by a Vis light of 400-700 nm, while upconversion photoluminescence (UCPL) of embedded NPs is activated by an NIR light of 980 nm. The excitation wavelength of photoluminescence (PL) is shifted to the NIR (λ = 980 nm) range via photon upconversion in rare earth element-doped NPs. Independent operation of PB and UCPL enables both on-demand electrical switching and real-time location monitoring for spatiotemporally controlled electrical pulse stimulation. As a result, the dual-photoresponsive nanocomposite film can be utilized as a remotely controllable electrical stimulator and location indicator via different wavelengths of light.

Tracking the flight and landing behaviour of western flower thrips in response to single and two-colour cues

Real-time 3D tracking and high-speed videography was used to examine the behaviour of a worldwide greenhouse pest, the western flower thrips (WFT), in response to different colours in the context of improving trap design. Measurements were taken of the number of landings on, and flight activity near, a lamp containing two LEDs of either the same colour or a combination of two colours presented side by side. Main findings show that landing patterns of WFT are different between colours, with landings on UV(+ red) as highly attractive stimulus being mostly distributed at the bottom half of the lamp, while for yellow also as very attractive and green as a ‘neutral’ stimulus, landings were clearly on the upper rim of the lamp. Additionally, a positive interaction with the UV-A(+ red) and yellow combination elicited the highest number of landings and flight time in front of the LED lamp. Conversely, a negative interaction was observed with decreased landings and flight time found for yellow when blue was present as the adjacent colour. Overall, differences between treatments were less obvious for flight times compared to number of landings, with tracking data suggesting that WFT might use different colours to orientate at different distances as they approach a visual stimulus.

An Economic Contribution of Women Micro Entrepreneur's Capability and Performance of Government Initiatives in Andhra Pradesh

The paper highlights the capability of women entrepreneurs and performance of Government initiates to development of Andhra Pradesh State. The women empowerment through micro entrepreneurship has been taken up to add value to become favourable for women to become entrepreneur. Women can play an important role in Micro businesses and hence if given attractive tax stimulus, women ownership of MSMEs can increase from 14% to 30% in 1 year. As per World Bank's Global index Data for measuring global financial inclusion, released in June 2022, women are 8 - 10% more unbanked than men. Hence Along with Jan Dhan accounts, micro investment and micro savings schemes, with the right financial education and Literacy efforts will play an important role in improving financial inclusion. Empowerment is one of the key factors that determine the success of upliftment in the status and position of women in the society. Presently in India, the women are enjoying the socio-economic status through starting their own business. It also can be said that significance, self-confidence, self-determination, self-esteem and self-efficacy are the main contributors in psychological empowerment. As per Global Gender Gap Report, World Economic Forum, July 2022, it will take another 132 years to fully bridge the Gender gap globally. India Ranks 135th out of 146 countries to close only 62.9% of its Gender gap. In this situation, it only calls for better tax benefits and lower tax slabs to working women linked to flexi working options, to promote higher inclusion of women in workforce for faster economic growth. Only 6% startups today are solely women led, hence tax incentives and holidays to promote women led startups and businesses will go a long way in encouraging women to come forward to start their own businesses. Three of the country’s 11 industrial corridors are being built in Andhra Pradesh. Their proactive engagement and unwavering commitment have facilitated the successful execution of various programs and policies that support women-owned businesses. Sri N Chandrababu Naidu’s former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh as vision for promoting women’s entrepreneurship is rooted in gender equality and inclusive growth. The initiatives implemented have provided vital support, including financial assistance, skill development, and networking opportunities, to women-owned businesses.

Photocontrolled self-assembly based on photoresponsive ruthenium complexes

Abstract Self-assembly, which occurs through noncovalent interactions among molecules, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the natural world. Light is a particularly attractive stimulus for manipulating self-assembled structures due to its precise and noninvasive nature. Photoresponsive ruthenium (Ru) complexes are emerging as promising candidates for controlling self-assembly due to their unique coordination chemistry and reversible light-triggered behavior. Specifically, Ru complexes can undergo photodissociation of their ligands in aqueous solutions, leading to the formation of Ru-H2O species, and this process can be used to control the disassembly of assembled structures upon illumination. Conversely, upon cessation of the light stimulus, some Ru–ligand coordination bonds can be restored, resulting in reassembly of the structures. Herein, we mainly introduce our recent progress in the use of Ru(Ⅱ) complexes to create photocontrolled self-assemblies with applications ranging from cancer therapy to the manipulation of the morphology and properties of nanoscale materials. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions of photocontrolled assemblies with Ru complexes.

Tourist emotion-learning nexus: A case of Sertar, China

This paper discusses the nexus between tourists' emotions and learning at a religious site, Sertar, in China. Based on Kolb's learning cycle, this qualitative study proposes a conceptual framework regarding the connections between tourist attraction stimuli, tourist emotions, and tourist learning outcomes. The findings reveal that tourists have experienced mixed and intense emotions and obtained valuable learning outcomes, including changes in attitudes toward life, changes in attitudes toward others, changes in values and beliefs, and cross-cultural awareness. Tourist emotions play a vital role in triggering reflection and further generating transformative learning. Negative emotions could also result in positive learning and future behavior intentions. Practical implications are offered to destination marketers to design experience products and individuals seeking learning and eudaimonia.

Economic Decisions, Attractiveness, and Intrasexual Competition during Menstrual Cycle in the Ultimatum Game.

it seems that, in the phase of greatest fertility, women's intrasexual competition (toward attractive women who live nearby) increases due to access to resources, status, and biologically desirable partners. to compare the economic decisions (ED) during the ovulatory (OP) and luteal (LP) phases of the menstrual cycle (MC) with exposure to two stimuli: a photograph of a more attractive woman and a photograph of a less attractive woman, through the ultimatum game (UG). the research followed a cross-sectional design between subjects to see group differences by contrasting hypotheses. The sampling was probabilistic, with a sample of 100 heterosexual women, students at a public university with an age range of 18 to 24 years, with regular MC, who did not use hormonal contraceptive methods and did not have any endocrine condition. The inverse counting method with confirmation was applied to identify CM phases; and the UG to evaluate the DE. the phases of the MC had no effect on the ED; the women behaved similarly in their decisions, regardless of the phase of the cycle they were in or the type of stimulus to which they were exposed. OP and LP do not affect the ED of women when they are exposed to an attractive stimulus. The discussion is made considering the evolutionary theory of the ovulatory shift hypothesis.

Preliminary Study on Artificial versus Animal-Based Feeding Systems for Amblyomma Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae).

Hard ticks pose a threat to animal and human health. Active life stages need to feed on a vertebrate host in order to complete their life cycle. To study processes such as tick-pathogen interactions or drug efficacy and pharmacokinetics, it is necessary to maintain tick colonies under defined laboratory conditions, typically using laboratory animals. The aim of this study was to test a membrane-based artificial feeding system (AFS) applicable for Amblyomma ticks using Amblyomma tonelliae as a biological model. Adult ticks from a laboratory colony were fed in a membrane-based AFS. For comparison, other A. tonelliae adults were fed on calf and rabbit. The proportions of attached (AFS: 76%; calf/rabbit: 100%) and engorged females (AFS: 47.4%; calf/rabbit: 100%) in the AFS were significantly lower compared to animal-based feeding (p = 0.0265). The engorgement weight of in vitro fed ticks (x¯ = 658 mg; SD ± 259.80) did not significantly differ from that of ticks fed on animals (p = 0.3272, respectively 0.0947). The proportion of females that oviposited was 100% for all three feeding methods. However, the incubation period of eggs (x¯ = 54 days; SD ± 7) was longer in the AFS compared to conventional animal-based feeding (p = 0.0014); x¯ = 45 days; SD ± 2 in the rabbit and (p = 0.0144). x¯ = 48 days; SD ± 2 in the calf). Egg cluster hatching (x¯ = 41%; SD ± 44.82) was lower in the AFS than in the other feeding methods (rabbit: x¯ = 74%; SD ± 20; p = 0.0529; calf: x¯ = 81%; SD ± 22; p = 0.0256). Although the attachment, development, and the hatching of AFS ticks were below those from animal-based feeding, the method may be useful in future experiments. Nevertheless, further experiments with a higher number of tick specimens (including immature life stages) and different attractant stimuli are required to confirm the preliminary results of this study and to evaluate the applicability of AFS for Amblyomma ticks as an alternative to animal-based feeding methods.

The response of adult adzuki been borer <i>Ostrinia scapulalis</i> to light stimuli in a wind tunnel

The attraction of nocturnal insects to light is a known phenomenon with unknown physiological mechanisms. Moths of the pyralid family are characterized by the most pronounced response to light, but the spectral preferences of these insects have not been studied. The adzuki been borers Ostrinia scapulalis, which live on dicotyledonous plants, are the ancestral form for the Asian and European corn borers, widespread pests of corn. Using a wind tunnel modified to deliver light stimuli, we tested the responses of males and females to light stimuli with wavelengths of 532, 440 and 365 nm at 2 lux, capable of stimulating photoreceptors of compound eyes (with maximum sensitivity of 352, 413, 480 and 530 nm) as well as simple ocelli, whose sensitivity had the main peak in ultraviolet and additional one in the green spectrum (360 and 520 nm). It turned out that ultraviolet was the most attractive stimulus. A small percentage of insects responded to green light, but showed a freezing reaction near the light source. The least attractive was blue light, which also caused freezes. Thus, the flight of O. scapulalis adults is induced by short-wavelength light, the response is more consistent with the sensitivity of the ocelli than the compound eyes; blue and green light leads to a masking effect.

Precision gas therapy by ultrasound‐triggered for anticancer therapeutics

AbstractIn recent years, ultrasound, as an external stimuli that can activate different types of naonocatalysts for therapy, has attracted extensive attention. One characteristic that makes ultrasound a particularly attractive trigger stimulus for nanomedicine is that it can be applied to the deep regions of the body noninvasively in a focused way. Different biological effects can be achieved by integrating ultrasound with nanocatalysts, and nanodroplets. Gas therapy, as a green antitumor treatment, has attracted substantial attention. The development of nanotechnology and nanomedicine has made gas therapy more precious by controlled release under internal, and outside factors and targeted delivery. In this article, an overview of ultrasound‐based gas therapy on antitumor therapy has been provided. First, we explored the mechanism of ultrasound‐triggered gas release. Second, we list the common gas release pathways and their mechanism in response to ultrasound activity. Third, exemplary instances of gas‐generating facilities under ultrasound controllable are explored, with an emphasis on their originality and guiding principles. The impact of the gas‐generating platform as a tumor therapy has also been considered. Finally, the difficulties and future prospects for this effective therapeutic approach are examined.

Push‐pull and kill strategy for Diaphorina citri control in citrus orchards

AbstractThe development of sustainable methods to control Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is crucial to improve management of huanglongbing (HLB), the most important citrus disease worldwide. In a flushing Citrus × sinensis L. Osbeck (Rutaceae) orchard, this study assessed the combined effects of insecticide‐treated Bergera koenigii L. (Rutaceae) trees in the orchard border, as a lethal trap crop, and the application of processed kaolin to the citrus crop, as a repellent (push‐pull and kill strategy), in reducing D. citri infestation and dispersal. Additionally, the volatile organic compound (VOC) emission profile and attractiveness of B. koenigii shoots were investigated in indoor experiments. The push‐pull and kill strategy reduced the number of D. citri adults on citrus trees by 95, 84, and 63% compared to the untreated control, trap crop only, and kaolin only treatments, respectively. These high reductions can be attributed to the combination of attractive stimuli (VOCs) and repellent stimuli by the trap crop and kaolin, respectively. The number of psyllids observed on citrus trees subjected to treatments with trap crop and kaolin separately was 69 and 86% lower than on untreated control trees, respectively. In addition, all treatments reduced and delayed D. citri dispersal inside the orchard, especially the push‐pull and kill strategy. In olfactometric assays, D. citri females showed a significant preference for B. koenigii odors over C. × sinensis cv. ‘Valencia’ flush odors, likely related with the different VOC emission profiles of the two plants. This study shows the effectiveness of push‐pull and kill as a new management strategy to control D. citri and consequently HLB.

A New Approach to the Use of Energy from Renewable Sources in Low-Voltage Power Distribution Networks

Currently, in rural networks with a large amount of distributed generation, PV installations are often disconnected due to the excessively high voltage in the network, which often exceeds the limit value, in accordance with the PN-EN 50160 standard. Disconnecting such an installation extends the return on investment costs by preventing the generation of electricity for the owner’s needs and results in the consumption of this energy from the grid. In such a case, the recipient has to bear the costs related to the purchase of this energy. In order to solve the problem of excessively high voltage in a low-voltage distribution network with a large amount of distributed generation, the authors of this article proposed a new approach to the use of electricity from these sources. In order to present the benefits of the proposed solution, a computer simulation was used. In order to carry it out, a mathematical model of a low-voltage power grid with distributed generation was developed using the electric multipole method and Newton’s method, which is discussed in the paper. To determine the advantages of the proposed solution, nine variants of the operation of an exemplary low-voltage power grid over one day were analyzed. The main conclusion based on the analysis of the results is that the proposed approach improves the operation of the power system by maintaining the voltage values within the standard range for the entire tested part of the network. In addition, the proposed approach does not increase the power or electricity when generating electricity from a PV installation. The proposed solution can also serve as a very attractive stimulus for the creation of energy cooperatives.
