Prediction of operator intentions by action forecasting in collaborative assembly tasks

The logic of Industry 4.0 foresees humans and robots as indistinguishable parts of a larger heterogeneous body of distributed autonomous and cooperative entities. Under such a perspective, robots are endowed with self and environment awareness and are able to smartly interact with both humans and other machines [1]. Consequently, and in contrast to the third industrial revolution, machines are not intended to substitute humans in industry, but to work with them in synergy. In collaborative industrial scenarios, safety greatly depends on the reciprocal understanding between the human operator and the robotic system. On the one hand, the operator needs to be aware of the collaborative robot’s motion to guarantee him or her own safety. On the other, the robot must identify, understand and forecast operator’s actions to promptly react and safely adapt to either expected or unexpected operative conditions. Under the assumption that operator’s intentions are mainly focused on completing the assigned task, such intentions can be predicted in terms of the sequence of actions required to complete it. Therefore, intentions forecasting greatly relies on the ability of the robotic system to promptly identify tasks executed by the operator and to model the transitions between them. Moreover, beyond normal operative conditions, it is of fundamental regard to identify unexpected operator’s actions to avoid any dangerous circumstance.
Hepatitis C Virus Antibody (HCV-Ab) Co-Existing With Human Immunodefficiency Virus (HIV) And Malaria Parasites in Benin City Nigeria.

: This study determined the prevalence of Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV-Ab), Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria parasites and their co-infection among 323 consented outpatients attending a Government Hospital in Benin City, Nigeria. Serology was used for detection of HCV-AB and HIV while Microscopic method was used for malaria parasites detection. Also a well-structured questionnaires were used to collect data on sociodemographic from participants. Amongst the 323 participants, a seropositivity of 65(20.1%), 52(16.1%) and 289(89.5%) to HCV-Ab, HIV and malaria parasites were recorded respectively. According to gender, females had the highest occurrence of HCV-Ab 47(14.6%) than males 18(5.6%). Also males and females recorded an even co-infection of HCV-Ab/HIV of 4(1.2%) (P<0.05). The prevalence of HCV, HIV, malaria and co-infection among the study population imply that these infections are a threat to the human health. Health awareness programs should be implemented and HCV vaccination should be encouraged.
Challenges in Implementing the Ethical Norms in Research on Autistic Children in the Indian Context

— Human subjects are used in numerous research experiments, clinical or non clinical, which involves collection of data from them and later, analysis of data. The participants are exposed to primary risk of the research when the researcher attempts to collect, use and apply information accessed from the participants. This makes ethics in research a very vital subject while conducting research in human subjects. Research with children adds more dimensions to ethical norms where permission from parents / guardians are also required. Further, the magnitude of this vulnerability intensifies while research is conducted on children with special needs and protecting their rights and welfare become imperative. in the ethical norms research children in observation studies the The are the arrives at autistic children as research participants guidelines, ethical widely and adhered to. The for norms as reference. The challenges in implementing ethical norms while conducting research studies on these children are underlined.
Yield surfaces of heterogeneous media with debonded inclusions

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present knowledge in estimating yield surfaces of heterogeneous media by use of homogenization, especially where the macroscopic behaviour is driven by weak interfaces between phase constituents. Design/methodology/approach – A computational homogenization procedure is used to determine the yield surface of a Representative Volume Element (RVE) that contains a fully debonded inclusion embedded within ideally plastic matrix, whereby the interface is modelled by a Coulomb type friction law. Findings – The macroscopic behaviour of the RVE is shown to coincide an RVE with a hole for expanding loads, whereas for compressive loads, it was shown to approach an RVE with a fully bonded inclusion. Originality/value – The present paper builds on Gurson’s work in estimating macroscopic yield surfaces of heterogeneous materials. The work is novel in the sense that there had been no previous publications discussing influence of weak interfaces on yield surfaces.
BACTERIAL RESISTANCE AND ANTISSEPTIC EFFECTS ON THE EYE SURFACE OF 1 DONOR CORNEAS 2 BACTERIAL RESISTANCE AND ANTISSEPTIC EFFECTS IN DONOR CORNEAS 3

20 Background: The antiseptic solutions most used by Eye bank or in ophthalmologic surgeries are 21 polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine and gluconate of chlorhexidine. Objetives: The objective of this study 22 was to evaluate the antiseptic effect in the reduction of ocular globe microbiota from corneal 23 donors, as well as to analyze the susceptibility of the microbiota to gentamicin. Methods: Thirty 24 pairs of corneas received antiseptics, with Povidone-iodine in the right eye and gluconate of 25 chlorhexidine in the left eye, and for each time of action (5, 10 and 15 minutes), totalling three 26 groups, and using 10 pairs of eyeballs to each group. Swabs were collected from the ocular surface 27 prior to application of the solutions, after and at the time of preservation of the corneal tissue. After 28 identification of the microbiota, an antibiogram test with gentamicin was performed. Results: 29 Regarding the data obtained in the second group, after the use of antiseptics, there was a reduction 30 of 40% in the total of gram positive bacteria and a reduction of 75.9% to gram negative bacteria, the 31 results shows that in the second group, both antiseptics were more effective to Gram negative 32 bacteria. The third group results show the residual effect of antiseptics and there was a reduction of 33 99.1% of all micro-organisms. To the antibiogram test, 88% of the microorganisms isolated, were 34 sensitive to gentamicin. Conclusion: Was observed that using the tested concentration to each 35 antissepetic, there are no action differences to descontamination between the two products, there 36 was not differences between the action time too. 37 39 40 41
The Mre11 Nuclease Is Not Required for 5 (cid:2) to 3 (cid:2) Resection at Multiple HO-Induced Double-Strand Breaks

Current hypotheses suggest the Mre11 nuclease activity could be directly involved in double-strand break (DSB) resection in the presence of a large number of DSBs or limited to processing abnormal DNA ends. To distinguish between these possibilities, we used two methods to create large numbers of DSBs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomes, without introducing other substrates for the Mre11 nuclease. Multiple DSBs were created either by expressing the HO endonuclease in strains containing several HO cut sites embedded within randomly dispersed Ty1 elements or by phleomycin treatment. Analysis of resection by single-strand DNA formation in these systems showed no difference between strains containing MRE11 or the mre11-D56N nuclease defective allele, suggesting that the Mre11 nuclease is not involved in the extensive 5 (cid:1) to 3 (cid:1) resection of DSBs. We postulate that the ionizing radiation (IR) sensitivity of mre11 nuclease-defective mutants results from the accumulation of IR-induced DNA damage that is normally processed by the Mre11 nuclease. We also report that the processivity of 5 (cid:1) to 3 (cid:1) DSB resection and the yield of repaired products are affected by the number of DSBs in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, we show that the exonuclease Exo1 is involved in the processivity of 5 (cid:1) to 3 (cid:1)
N OTES ON P ROSODIC H EADEDNESS AND T ONE IN T OKYO J APANESE , S TANDARD E NGLISH , AND N ORTHERN B IZKAIAN B ASQUE ∗

This paper explores how the notion ‘prosodic head’ comes into play in providing an account for certain facts concerning the distribution of tonal pitch accents in Tokyo Japanese, Standard American and British English, and Northern Bizkaian Basque. Building on evidence from I&M on Tokyo Japanese, it is argued that there is a class of violable phonological markedness constraints on the headedness of prosodic constituents. A class of markedness constraints calling for a prosodic head/abstract prominence to be associated with tone is also motivated. Together, these constraints play a role in accounts of tone epenthesis on prosodic heads or displacement of lexical tone to prosodic heads that are found in both ‘pitch accent languages’ and in ‘intonation languages’. These two prosodic headedness-related constraint types also play a role in accounting for the disappearance of expected phonological phrasing in cases of the absence of tonal ‘accent’ and the related absence of word-level prosodic headedness.
An empirical analysis of macroeconomic resilience

The Working Paper Series of the Czech National Bank (CNB) is intended to disseminate the results of the CNB’s research projects as well as the other research activities of both the staff of the CNB and collaborating outside contributors, including invited speakers. The Series aims to present original research contributions relevant to central banks. It is refereed internationally. The referee process is managed by the CNB Research Division. The working papers are circulated to stimulate discussion. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the CNB. Abstract In this paper, we analyse macroeconomic developments in European economies since the Great Recession. We present evidence that macroeconomic developments in the EU countries can be classiﬁed into latent classes. Countries in a given class exhibit a similar pattern of economic and labour market developments during and after the crisis. We then present evidence that the latent classes of countries differ in terms of quality of institutions and regulation. Based on this, we conclude that quality of institutions and regulation are crucial for the resilience of countries to shocks. The most important country characteristics associated with a quick recovery after the initial shock are low protection of temporary contracts, political stability, regulatory quality and pre-crisis ﬁscal space. On the other hand, other types of employment protection and generosity of unemployment beneﬁts seem to not inﬂuence resilience.

Global L ∞ solutions of the compressible Euler equations with spherical symmetry

We study the compressible Euler equations with spherical symmetry surrounding a solid ball. For the spherically symmetric flow, the global existence of L∞ entropy weak solutions has not yet obtained except a special case. In this paper, we prove the existence of global solutions in the more general case. We construct approximate solutions by using a modified Godunov scheme. The main point is to obtain an L∞ bound for the approximate solutions.
Attitudes towards the Use of Humanoid Robots

Rapid advances in the field of technology have resulted in their implementation in almost all life domains, including medicine. The use of robotics in medicine has become increasingly important, and its scope of implementation is very broad. Therapeutic use of robots is a relatively recent phenomenon, as it necessitates a certain degree of technological advancement, as well as a high degree of safety and reliability to provide suitability for use with patients, especially children [1–3]. The multidisciplinary approach is one of the core principles of modern medicine related to the field of medical robotics [4]. The term robot was first used by Karel Čapek in his play “Rossum’s Universal Robots” (R.U.R) in 1921 [5]. It derives from a Czech word “robota” meaning “forced labor” or “hard labor. ” On the other hand, robotics was first mentioned in the short story “Runaround” authored by the American writer Isaac Asimov in 1942 [5]. Humanoid robot is the term used for a machine that looks and behaves like a human, based on the principles of artificial intelligence (AI) [6]. The advantages of using robots in medicine include higher work quality and productivity, increased safety and risk reduction, and greater operational flexibility [7]. In sum, robots can enhance quality of life and output, while reducing medical costs [8]. Moreover, robots have been shown to improve patient motivation and thus outcome of rehabilitation [9]. Robotics in medicine is presently classified into surgical, medical, service and rehabilitation categories [4]. The first humanoid robot that has been introduced into medical practice in our country is MARKO (acronym for Mobile Anthropomorphic Summary Introduction. The advancement of technology in the world is more and more evident, as is its implementation in almost all spheres of life, and so is its application in medicine. The use of robotics in medicine has become increasingly important, with a wide scope of application. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine parental attitudes towards the robot-assisted therapy in pediatric (re) habilitation and to assess the degree of parental acceptance and apprehension towards humanoid robots, along with their expectations. Material and Methods. The study included 32 parents of both genders, whose children took part in the treatment using a mobile anthropomorphic robot with cognitive skills, and who completed the Frankenstein Syndrome Questionnaire. Results. The study showed that parental attitudes towards humanoid robots and robot-assisted therapy were positive. Conclusion. In our study, parents showed neutral attitudes and positive expectations of humanoid robots. They have accepted them socially, without negative feelings on the religious and psychosocial levels.

Running head: Plasticity of pericycle reprogramming by nitrate 1

The adaptability of root system architecture to unevenly distributed mineral nutrients in soil is 64 a key determinant of plant performance. The molecular mechanisms underlying nitrate 65 dependent plasticity of lateral root branching across the different root types of maize are only 66 poorly understood. In the present study, detailed morphological and anatomical analyses 67 together with cell type-specific transcriptome profiling experiments combining laser capture 68 microdissection with RNA-seq were performed to unravel the molecular signatures of lateral 69 root formation in primary, seminal, crown and brace roots of maize upon local high nitrate 70 stimulation. The four maize root types displayed divergent branching patterns of lateral roots 71 upon local high nitrate stimulation. In particular brace roots displayed an exceptional 72 architectural plasticity compared to other root types. Transcriptome profiling revealed root 73 type-specific transcriptomic reprogramming of pericycle cells upon local high nitrate 74 stimulation. The alteration of the transcriptomic landscape of brace root pericycle cells in 75 response to local high nitrate stimulation was most significant. Root type specific 76 transcriptome diversity in response to local high nitrate highlighted differences in the 77 functional adaptability and systemic shoot nitrogen-starvation response during development. 78 Integration of morphological, anatomical and transcriptomic data resulted in a framework 79 underscoring similarity and diversity among root types grown in heterogeneous nitrate 80 environments. 81 kinetochore Cell-type specific gene expression analyses by RNA-Seq reveal local high nitrate triggered lateral root initiation in shoot-borne roots of maize by modulating auxin-related cell cycle-regulation.

Fast Track Surgery Program in Knee Replacement Fast Track Surgery Program in Knee Replacement

A Fast-track (FT) program, a well-established approach for patients undergoing selective operations, aims at enhanced post-operative recovery. It was first introduced by Professor Henrik Kehlet in 1990s and was applied in colorectal surgery. With the increasing elderly population as well as the increasing incidence of osteoarthritis, the rapid growth of requirement of joint arthroplasties is to be expected. Therefore, many orthopedic teams have applied related principles to their daily practice of total knee arthroplasty to accelerate rehabilitation with lower mortality and morbidity, and to optimize patient satisfaction. The program is a multimodal and multidisciplinary standardized care. Various caring specialties are involved to fulfill the goals of the fast-track program; the basic members include anesthetists, surgeons, pain specialist, physiotherapists, nurses and even medical physicians. In general, the strategy consists of five strands: careful patient selection, improving preoperative care, minimizing perioperative stresses, decreasing postoperative discomfort, and improving postoperative recovery. Through full understanding of these strands and concepts, a comprehensive, peri- operative care is thus constructed. This review article gives reader an overall concept of fast track surgery in total knee replacement surgery. A comprehensive search in English literature, including case series, associate randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews were performed using the PubMed databases in 2017 December.
A Microfounded Sectoral Model for Open Economies

In this paper we derive a microfounded macro New Keynesian model for open economies, be them large or small. We consider habit formation in consumption, sectoral linkages for tradable and non-tradable goods, capital stock investments with variable capital utilization, domestic and foreign governments, imperfect (exchange rate) pass-through in import prices and incomplete international financial markets. Sticky nominal prices and wages are modeled in Calvo and Taylor staggered ways. The model economy is composed of a continuum of infinitely-lived consumers and producers of final and intermediate goods. We provide a very general loglinearization method, from which we can easily obtain various special cases, as trend inflation or steady-state log-linearizations. Numerical simulations of the two-country sectoral model are provided for a relatively large number of structural shocks as domestic and foreign productivity shocks in final tradables and non-tradables, money demand shocks and a shock in the exchange rate. Such a model is well suited for monetary policy analysis at the international level and risk analysis.
Constructing Immediacy at a Distance

Differences between written and spoken language represent a long-standing topic in linguistics (e.g., Biber 1988; Koch and Oesterreicher 2012; Tannen 1982). This paper1 investigates the comments section of blogs with regard to their nature as involved and expressive, but graphically coded and public discourse type. This type of digital interaction between users and bloggers allows for immediacy at a distance. Hence, blogs and their comments sections represent a fine choice to discuss ComputerMediated Communication (CMC) from the perspective of orality and literacy. Conversely, the comments sections of online blogs allow revisiting the notions of 'orality' and 'literacy' from the vantage point of a present-day internet genre. The focus on a narrowly defined sub-genre, the comments sections of vegan food blogs, will allow zooming in on very specific linguistic characteristics allowing for a comparison of genres according to different situational parameters. This paper embraces the view that differences between 'written' and 'spoken' are non-binary and non-linear, but also multi-dimensional. The non-binary nature of 'spoken' and 'written' has been noted since the late 1960s, also with the advent of genre descriptions. Biber's seminal, emic Variation across Speech and Writing (1988) stresses the multidimensional nature of this textual variation. Biber proposes an analysis of 67 linguistic features that group into seven dimensions such as "informational vs involved" or "narrative vs non-narrative. " In the framework of an additive multi-dimensional analysis (MDA) (Berber Sardinha et al. 2019), this paper locates the comments sections of blogs in Biber's dimensions for spoken and written English (1988). To give a concrete example, the comments sections studied in this paper have a similar degree of involvement as the spoken genre 'interview' through the high frequency of subordinator that deletion and the use of emphatics and demonstrative pronouns. Blogs represent a mass phenomenon in CMC with a specific organization of its discourse (Frobenius and Gerhardt 2017). After having focused on the construction of veganism in food blogs (Gerhardt and Schul 2019; Gerhardt 2020b) and the use of no-X constructions such as gluten free or no artificial flavours in their comments section
INFLUENCE OF MOTIVATION ON STRENGTH OF RUBBER HAND ILLUSION EXPERIENCE

A recent plethora of evidence suggests the direct influence of motivation on perception. Surprisingly, there has not been any scientific reports concerning whether the intrinsic motivation to experience a particular phenomenon can influence the character of that experience. To examine such possibility, an experimental study employing Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) paradigm was conducted. The strength of the illusion has been assessed using first- (question-naire) and third-person (skin conductance response – SCR – in a situation threatening rubber hand) measurement methods. Correlation between self-reported motivation and self-reported strength of the illusion did not reach statistical significance. However, highly motivated participants displayed pattern of skin conductance response characteristic for strong illusion. We conclude that the motivated participants actually experienced the illusion stronger, but simultaneously their expectations concerning the illusion escalated so their subjective reports of the strength of the illusion did not reflect results obtained by SCR. The obtained results support the hypothesis that cognition influences perception.
