Simulation for Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is having machines working connected as a collaborative community, both inside and outside the walls of the manufacturing sites. Manufacturing, sourcing, and delivery supply chains are now connected, making synchronization possible. Physical product delivery has changed signiﬁcantly. Smart deliveries are now possible by directing end customer location in dynamic conditions. The capabilities of the delivery system can be simulated using discrete event simulation to compromise on-time delivery. Big data analytics are now a fundamental tool for product delivery analysis of optimal vehicle routing conditions and resource allocation. As companies have improved product delivery capabilities, more complex supply chains have been created. Analytic tools can tackle this complexity in estimating delivery time and product delivery windows under different workload scenarios.

The relationship between physical performance and self-perception in children with and without cerebral palsy.

AIM This study examined the relationship between physical performance and perceived self-competence and global self-worth in children with and without spastic diplegia. METHOD A matched-pairs design, including eight children with spastic diplegia and eight typically developing children, was used to compare the children's performance and to examine relationships. Children aged 7 to 11 years were assessed to determine their gross and fine motor abilities and they completed a modified version of the Harter Self-Perception Profile for Children. RESULTS Children with diplegia performed at lower levels in all gross and fine motor assessments compared with children without diplegia. Self-perception was lower in children with diplegia in fine motor competence (P = 0.03) and global self-worth (P = 0.05). Clinically important differences (> 10%) in gross motor and athletic competence were also found. Positive correlations between physical performance assessments and some self-perception domains were present, although strength and direction of relationships differed for each group in some instances. CONCLUSION This small study found that in addition to having reduced physical skills, children with spastic diplegia may experience a less positive global self-worth than typically developing children. These findings are in contrast to some previous research. Future research should examine the hypothesised relationship more definitively to determine whether improvement in physical skills results in a higher level of self-competence and consequently a higher global self-worth. This might further justify interventions aimed at improving fine and gross motor skills of children with cerebral palsy. Clinicians should be mindful of addressing both physical issues and self-worth with clients.
Lack of Authority, Failure of Leadership: Burden of Not Being Led

The purpose of this research is to scrutinize the difference between autocratic leadership and absence of leadership. We utilized simple division be-tween autocratic leader and laissez-faire leader in order to find out how these stereotypical leaders´ are affecting the followers. Typically, autocratic leadership is situated to be bad leadership approach and follower´s freedom is emphasized. Cognitive constructivism and empowerment of followers are embracing the freedom and followers own responsibility. However, the question for best approach for leadership is too complex to be answered with easy solutions. Real world cases rarely fit to ideal models. In this article, we analyze how these two types of extreme ends in leadership behavior affect the followers´ feeling of certainty. We show how these approaches affect to followers by analyzing open answers with a mix method design with both quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Isotopes are one of the best tools to reconstruct the paleoecology of extinct taxa, allowing us to evaluate their diet (through carbon; C3 and C4 plants), their niche breadth (BA) and the environment in which they lived. In the present work we go deeper in the use of isotopes, and explore a mathematical mixing model with the stable isotopic composition of one (carbon) and two elements (carbon and oxygen) to evaluate (i) the relative contributions of three types of food resources (leaves, fruits and C4 grass) for mesoand megaherbivores (body mass > 100 kg) that lived during the late Pleistocene in Sergipe, Brasil, and (ii) which of these herbivores (together with some faunivorous taxa) could be potential preys for Smilodon populator and Caiman latirostris. Finally, we reconstructed the paleoenvironment in which the vertebrate community of Sergipe lived and concluded that the environment of Sergipe was a closer and drier landscape than African savannah nowadays, at least between 27 ka to 11 ka.

The avian fossil record of southern Brazil is scarce, consisting of few isolated remains. Here is described a ciconiid fossil from the assemblage of mammalian remains of the Santa Vitória Formation (SVF). The specimen is a cervical vertebra morphologically similar to Ciconia maguari (maguari stork), common in southern Brazil today. Nevertheless, its larger dimensions suggest that it could be either a morphotype of that species or another, extinct species. The taphonomic modifications of the vertebra result of a combination of autogenic and allogenic factors including the aquatic habit, shape and transportation by flowing water and burial in a shallow stream. The fossil-bearing sediment dated by luminescence was deposited during the late Pleistocene, at 37.9 ka b2k, and exhibits physical features indicating deposition under variable discharge and seasonal oscillations of the water table. The presence of an aquatic bird in these sediments indicates a period of increased precipitation, chronocorrelated to one of the millenial-scale warming pulses recorded in ice cores from Antarctica (Antarctic Isotope Maxima) that characterized the interstadial MIS 3. On the other hand, the dry and cold climate of the following glacial MIS 2 may have forced ciconiids and aquatic mammals to retreat to suitable areas (refugia), as indicated by their absence in the loess deposits (Cordão Formation) overlying the SVF, until returning during the Holocene when climate became wet and warm again. The results presented here increase the avian fossil record of southern Brazil and help understand the role of climate change on the distribution of ciconiid birds and other taxa during the Quaternary in southern South America.
The Impact of Adults' Used Skills on Their Self-Evaluated Skills and Social Lives Over Time

Previous research focused on individuals’ background, contexts and cognitive performance in education, work, and life. Given the increasing number of people living alone temporarily, the question arises whether the frequent use of skills, including social skills, relates to individuals’ later positively self-evaluated skills and social lives. Based on an integrated framework, the current analysis aimed to disentangle these relationships with longitudinal data from Germany over three years. The target sample consisted of n = 3263 working adults. A Bayesian structural equation model included adults’ frequent use of skills, self-evaluated skills, household size, close friends, and seven covariates (e.g., numeracy and literacy test scores, weekly working hours. The results suggested positive relationships between adults’ frequent use of numeracy, literacy, and social skills and later self-evaluations (except literacy used on self-evaluated numeracy). Those who less frequently used social skills three years earlier were also less likely to have a larger household size than those who reporting frequently using their social skills. Adults who frequently used literacy skills three years earlier reported higher numbers of close friends than those who less frequently used literacy. The findings highlight the importance of adults’ social skills and frequently used skills for self-evaluated numeracy and literacy.
Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Hydrogel Sheet Dressings Fabricated by Gamma Irradiation: Extract and Semi-Direct Contact Tests

Cytotoxicity presents one of the required criteria in the biological evaluation of medical devices. In this study, the semi-direct contact test was used to evaluate the potential cytotoxicity of hydrogel wound dressings compared to the conventional extract test. Three types of hydrogel sheets were fabricated from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by gamma irradiation: Bare sheets, silver (Ag)-coated sheets, and Aloe vera (AV)-coated sheets. In the extract test, L929 cells were cultured in the extract derived from the elution of hydrogel samples. For the semi-direct contact test, the cells were cultured in situ with the hydrogel samples placed inside transwell inserts above the cell monolayers. At the endpoint of both tests, MTT assay was performed, and the cell viability was determined from the absorbance of formazan. Only the bare and AV-coated hydrogel sheets showed cell viability above the 70 % threshold that ensured the non-cytotoxicity by both tests. For Ag-coated sheets, less than 70 % cell viability occurred when Ag coating was  0.2 mg/cm 2 . Interestingly, the formazan-depleted area underneath the Ag-coated sample could be clearly observed by the semi-direct contact test. The release of Ag in the form of nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-Vis absorption at 420 nm. In conclusion, the semi-direct contact test can serve as a reliable alternative to the conventional extract test in evaluating the potential cytotoxicity of hydrogel wound dressings.
Resistivity and offset error estimations for the small-loop electromagnetic method

Handheld frequency-domain electromagnetic (EM) instruments are being used increasingly for shallow environmental and geotechnical surveys because of their portability and speed of use in field operations. However, in many cases, the quality of data is so poor that quantitative interpretation is not justified. This is because the small-loop EM method is required to detect very weak signals (the secondary magnetic fields) in the presence of the dominant primary field, so the data are inherently susceptible to calibration errors. Although these errors can be measured by raising the instrument high above the ground so that the effect of the conducting ground is negligible, it is impracticable to do so for every survey. We have developed an algorithm that simultaneously inverts small-loop EM data for a multidimensional resistivity distribution and offset errors. For this inversion method to work successfully the data must be collected at two heights. The forward modeling used in the inversion is based on a staggered-grid 3D finite-difference method; its solution has been checked against a 2.5D finite-element solution. Synthetic and real data examples demonstrate that the inversion recovers reliable resistivity models from multifrequency data that are contaminated severely by offset errors.
Sudden Stops and the Mexican Wave: Currency Crises, Capital Flow Reversals and Output Loss in Emerging Markets*

Sudden Stops are the simultaneous occurrence of a currency/balance of payments crisis with a reversal in capital flows (Calvo, 1998). We investigate the output effects of financial crises in emerging markets, focusing on whether sudden-stop crises are a unique phenomenon and whether they entail an especially large and abrupt pattern of output collapse (a “Mexican wave”). Despite an emerging theoretical literature on Sudden Stops, empirical work to date has not precisely identified their occurrences nor measured their subsequent output effects in broad samples. Analysis of Sudden Stops may provide the key to understanding why some currency/balance of payments crises entail very large output losses, while others are frequently followed by expansions. Using a panel data set over the 1975-97 period and covering 24 emerging-market economies, we distinguish between the output effects of currency crises, capital inflow reversals, and sudden-stop crises. We find that sudden-stop crises have a large negative, but short-lived, impact on output growth over and above that found with currency crises. A currency crisis typically reduces output by about 2-3 percent, while a Sudden Stop reduces output by an additional 6-8 percent in the year of the crisis. The cumulative output loss of a Sudden Stop is even larger, around 13-15 percent over a three-year period. Our model estimates correspond closely to the output dynamics of the ‘Mexican wave’ (such as seen in Mexico in 1995, Turkey in 1994 and elsewhere), and out-of-sample predictions of the model explain well the sudden (and seemingly unexpected) collapse in output associated with the 1997-98 Asian Crisis. The empirical results are robust to alternative model specifications, lag structures and using estimation procedures (IV and GMM) that correct for bias associated with estimation of dynamic panel models with country-specific effects. Our study supports the hypothesis that sudden stops have a much larger adverse effect on output than other forms of currency attack, and explains the wide divergence in economies’ performances following international financial crises. Establishing this empirical regularity for emerging market economies is the first step in empirically identifying the transmission mechanism through which sudden stops have such large output effects.
ASSESSING THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL REGULATION PROCESSES, COGNITIVE FLEXIBILITY AND INTOLERANCE OF UNCERTAINTY: A CASE OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS OF SAUDI ARABIA

This study aimed to explore the relationship between cognitive flexibility and intolerance to uncertainty among college students, and to investigate whether emotion regulation processes mediate this relationship. The sample consisted of 256 participants aged between 18 and 22 years. The cognitive flexibility inventory (CFI), the uncertainty intolerance scale (IUS), and the emotion regulation processes scale (ERPS) were used to collect data. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data. The results of the study suggest that emotion regulation processes play a mediating role in the relationship between cognitive flexibility and intolerance to uncertainty. Specifically, the findings indicated that deficient emotional regulation mechanisms, resulting from poor cognitive flexibility, lead to a low tolerance for uncertainty. This suggests that individuals who struggle to adjust their thinking in response to new information are more likely to experience difficulty in regulating their emotions when faced with uncertainty. Moreover, individuals with low levels of cognitive flexibility may be more likely to experience fear and anxiety when presented with new or uncertain situations. However, the study’s results suggest that emotional regulation processes may be helpful in mitigating the negative effects of cognitive inflexibility on intolerance to uncertainty. This study contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between cognitive flexibility, emotion regulation processes, and intolerance to uncertainty among college students. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive flexibility and emotion regulation processes may be useful in improving individuals’ tolerance for uncertainty.
MANAGEMENT OF EPULIS FISSURATUM OF MANDIBULAR ANTERIOR REGION BY MAINTAINING THE VESTIBULAR DEPTH - A CASE REPORT

Epulis Fissuratum or Denture-induced hyperplasia is benign tumor-like hyperplasia of brous connective tissue, which develops usually in association with an ill-tting complete or partial denture. The aim of this report is to present a case showing the treatment of Epulis ssuratum in relation to an ill-tting denture with a Simple but innovative technique. The epulis was removed with the conventional surgical approach in which the excision of the epulis was carried out by a split-thickness ap approach in which the wound healing is achieved by secondary closure. The existing denture was relined with a soft tissue conditioner to maintain the depth of the vestibule by preventing the post-surgical wound contracture during healing and to prevent further surgery for vestibulopathy. In addition, the patient continued using the existing denture for functional and aesthetic purposes. After two weeks of wound healing, the vestibular depth was maintained by the relined existing denture. Then the new dentures were fabricated accordingly. After one month of follow-up, no signs of recurrence of epulis ssuratum were noticed.
Digital Library Adoption and the Technology Acceptance Model: A Cross‐Country Analysis

In this article, we examine, through the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), some of the features that inform user acceptance of a digital library system implementation at agricultural universities in two developing countries: Kenya and Peru. This is a study not only examining factors contributing to adoption of this offline digital library, but also a cross‐site comparison, meant to examine the functionality in the developing world of a theoretical model developed in and based on conditions in the developed world. As we unravel predictors of technological acceptance of a digital library implementation in the developing world, we simultaneously investigate a broader question: not just questions regarding improved research in the developing world, but on it as well.
How does credit access affect children's time allocation? Evidence from rural India

Using a unique dataset obtained from rural Andhra Pradesh, India that contains direct observations of household access to credit and detailed time use, results of this study indicate that credit market failures lead to a substantial reallocation of time used by children for activities such as schooling, household chores, remunerative work, and leisure. The negative effects of credit constraints on schooling amount to a 60% decrease of average schooling time. However, the magnitude of decrease due to credit constraints is about half that of the increase in both domestic and remunerative child labor, the other half appearing to come from a reduction in leisure
