Lighting is the largest source of electricity consumption. The implementation of new technologies makes it possible to reduce the energy bill as well as the operating costs. In this work, we created a control and management system for exterior lighting using creative, intelligent, and autonomous methods. The project allows control room operators to monitor the system and interact when needed. Our project is subdivided into three major parts, ordering, data processing, and action. The first part is carried out in two modes: manually using an Optocoupler and controlled with a graphical interface by RS232 serial-type communication. The second part is processed by a microcontroller; as for the third part, it controls three poles through an MOC3023 Optotriac IC and BTA16-600B Triac for full and half lighting. For the controlled mode, we used the dimmer principle which works by essentially chopping parts out of the AC voltage. The brightness of the lamp is determined by the power transferred to it, so the more the waveform is chopped, the more it dims. A zero crossing control is needed for phase cutting. The graphical application of our project has a rather rough design. It is divided into two windows: the first consists of a connection window, and the second one is for the main control interface. On this control interface, there are basically three tabs: connection and serial connection status, control, and operating mode. Full article

Between 1945 and 1980, evangelicals emerged as a key political constituency in American politics, helping to form the Religious Right and work for the election of Ronald Reagan and other conservative Republicans. This article argues that they embraced a distinctive type of revivalist nationalism, centered around the mass revival. Case studies of Billy Graham, Bill Bright, Jerry Falwell, and Ronald Reagan offer a narrative of postwar revivalist nationalism and demonstrate that evangelicals renegotiated the relationship between personal salvation and national renewal during this period, facilitating their mass entry into partisan politics. Billy Graham presented in his early crusades an unsophisticated assumption that mass conversion would lead to national renewal. Later revivalists such as Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, sought to reorient revivalism toward directed political organization, leading in the 1970s to decreasing emphasis on personal conversion and increasing focus on the political process. By the 1980 presidential election, the Religious Right had completely abandoned the priority of personal conversion and sought instead to revive the “principles” of a Christian America. Ronald Reagan embodied this principle-oriented revival, and helped crystalize a revivalist nationalism that remains embedded in contemporary evangelical politics. Full article
