  What is Ontology ? Ontology is a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of being, existence, and reality. It seeks to answer fundamental questions like: What exists? What are the essential categories of existence? How do these entities relate to each other? In essence, ontology serves as the foundation for understanding the structure of reality, both tangible and abstract. Ontology in Philosophy Philosophical ontology delves into the fundamental components of existence. It classifies entities into categories, such as: Material Objects: Physical entities like rocks, trees, and stars. Abstract Concepts: Ideas, numbers, and relationships. Processes: Actions or events like running or melting. Ontology also intersects with metaphysics, exploring the nature of time, space, causality, and identity. Ontology in Technology In the digital realm, ontology takes a different but equally significant role. It is used in: Artificial Intelligence (AI): Building knowledge graphs and u...

  Reflexivity is a term often discussed in the context of research, particularly qualitative studies. But what does it truly mean, and why is it so important? Reflexivity is the process of reflecting on and critically examining the role that a researcher’s background, experiences, and perspectives play in shaping the research process and outcomes. It's about acknowledging the subjectivity of knowledge creation and recognizing how our personal biases, assumptions, and values influence the way we interpret data, interact with participants, and present our findings. Why is Reflexivity Important? In any research study, especially those in social sciences or humanities, researchers bring their own worldview, assumptions, and biases to the table. These factors can subtly, or overtly, influence how data is gathered, analyzed, and interpreted. Reflexivity encourages researchers to step back and reflect on these influences, ensuring a more transparent, ethical, and self-aware approach to ...

Integrated Optimization and Dynamic Pricing for PV-EV Charging Stations Using Hybrid Energy Storage Under Temperature Variability 1. Introduction With the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), the need for efficient, sustainable, and grid-friendly charging infrastructure has become paramount. Integrating renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, and deploying energy storage solutions has shown significant promise. However, environmental factors—especially temperature—greatly influence system performance, including PV efficiency, battery capacity, and EV charging demand. This study proposes a comprehensive optimization framework that incorporates temperature variations into dynamic pricing and charging strategies for enhanced operational efficiency. 2. System Architecture Overview The proposed system includes a PV-powered EV charging station integrated with a hybrid energy storage setup composed of supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries . A coordinated co...
