Optimal Backstepping Controller Design for Prosthetic Knee Joint
Authors: Salman Mayyasah Ali , Kadhim Saleem Khalefa
Published: March 2022

The mobility of people who have had a lower limb amputated is slower, less stable, and needs more metabolic energy than the movement of physically fit, also, often have difficulty moving on uneven terrain and stairs. In most cases, these problems may be traced back to the usage of controllers for an above-knee prosthesis, which enhances movement and more quality of life for millions of individuals who have lost lower limbs. In this work addresses the dynamic modeling and parameter identification of the lower limb, and the control of a 2-DOF joint prosthetic, because the uncertainty, high nonlinearity, problems with imbalance, and external perturbations, which can occur during movement. Backstepping control algorithm based on the Lyapunov theory was used, this is to ensure system stability with enhanced dynamic performance. The Bat algorithms optimization technique was used to fine-tune these design parameters to improve the performance of the proposed controller. From the results, found that the quantitative comparison between the present study and the related articles previously published which used sliding mode observer control, showed reasonable agreement. To comparison between convolution Backstepping control and optimal Backstepping control with Bat algorithms, at the control action consumptions. It was found that the position error of the prosthetic knee is enhanced by 9% at joint1 and 7.4% at joint2, respectively. Therefore, the results are considered satisfactory for such biomedical systems.
A Modified Ultraspherical Window and Its Application for Speech Enhancement
Authors: Noureddine Aloui , Boussif Mohamed , Adnane Cherif
Published: March 2022

In this paper an improved ultraspherical window is developed for designing quadrature mirror filters banks (QMF) with the help of a real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA). In fact, the ultraspherical window is modified by adding a parameter (α) which to improve the spectral parameters. Then, RCGA is used to find optimal values of the adjustment parameters, the side-lobes ratio of ultraspherical window and the cut-off frequency of the low-pass prototype filter. This latter, is used to derive all the filters of QMF banks. When the developed QMF banks are exploited for speech enhancement algorithm based on wavelets techniques it gives good performances in terms of Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). In addition to this, when compared to Dolph-Chebyshev, Kaiser and the original Ultraspherical windows the modified Ultraspherical window gives better performance referred to the obtained simulation results.

Published: March 2022

Faults like regenerative tool chatter have been evaluated by several researchers in order to suppress its adverse effect. However, many facets of this domain are yet to be addressed. In the present work, a new methodology has been proposed to process the recorded regenerative chatter signals in order to extract the chatter features. In the proposed approach, experiments have been performed and signals pertaining to regenerative tool chatter have been recorded using microphone. Thereafter, the recorded signals have been evaluated and preprocessed using variational mode decomposition (VMD) in order to extract chatter features. The decomposed signals that result in variational mode functions have been further evaluated by calculating a response termed as chatter index. This response has been used to predict the chatter severity during machining at different combinations of input parameters, on verifying the obtained results it has been found that the proposed methodology is significant in identifying the chatter severity.
Detection, Estimation and Radiation Formation Using Smart Antennas for the Spatial Location
Authors: Morab Feroz , Hegde Rajeshwari , Hegde Veena N.
Published: March 2022

The Electromagnetic (EM) waves are impinging on the base station from all the directions, Equally Spaced Uniform Linear Antenna Array (ESULA) are used to process these incoming EM waves to Detect and Estimate the directions of the mobile transmitters. After the process of Detection and Estimation, Electronic Beamforming is used to provide the narrow sharper beam towards the detected user. This Detection, Estimation and Beamforming plays a key role in variety of use cases like Radar, Wireless Communication and Sonar based systems. Smart Antenna Systems are implemented using two strategies namely Direction of Arrival (DoA) and Beamforming (BF). Direction of Arrival is a mechanism of Detecting and Estimating the directions of the mobile transmitters. Beamforming on the other hand is a process of transmission of the EM waves towards the source in a specific direction and providing the Spectral Nulls to other Interfering users. To increase the user capacity and to enhance the user experience Spatial Location based Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) technology is used. To improve the overall performance of the smart antenna systems energy and packet delivery is majorly focused on specific source directions rather than using blind transmission strategy. In this paper performance analysis of algorithms for Direction of Arrival methods as well as the Beamforming methods have been performed. Experimental simulations are conducted and comparison is done with respect to Bias, Resolution and Time complexity for the Direction of Arrival methods. Noise Subspace Method (NSM) DoA algorithm consistently delivered the optimal bias, high resolution detection of the user location in spatial domain and provided lesser time complexity for both the scenarios which uses fewer antenna elements or larger number of antenna array elements at the base station. Similarly for the case of Beamforming methods the Mean Square Error and Beam-directions have been compared.

The article is dedicated to the problem of effectiveness of the guarantees ensuring professional rights of advocates during investigative actions in their residential and office premises. The authors analyze standards developed by the European Court of Human Rights for the protection of the advocates’ right to private and family life and assess the conformity of domestic legal regulations with these standards. Reviewing the provisions of Article 450.1 of the Russian Code of Criminal Procedure, the authors come to the conclusion that the difficulties in practical application of the mentioned guarantees in the Russian law are caused by the imperfection of legislation under consideration, including by unclear conditions for the application of relevant provisions, insufficient detailing of the powers of representatives of lawyers’ associations taking part in the investigative actions, etc. Furthermore, it appears that the shortcomings of regulation governing the sphere in question condone violations not only by the investigative authorities but also by the advocates themselves. Hence, the authors maintain that the legal provisions under consideration require further amendments, including those proposed in this article.

Published: March 2022

Context: Acquiring research competencies by students is becoming more and more relevant in an evidence-based social work approach. Moving from traditional face-to-face pedagogical approach to a fully remote educational paradigm has greatly impacted universities in developing appropriate solutions for teaching and learning. Research skills and knowledge have been considered an important competence in social work training as best practice requires using available research data and best research requires understanding the context of practice. Method: Using a quantitative approach the current paper analyses how perception of remote learning and type and level of digital skills influence the development of research skills for social work students. 242 Romanian students enrolled in bachelor program filled in a questionnaire in June 2021. Results: The experience of a fully remote learning of research method did not have any significant impact on research competencies. However, the high level of operational skills influences students’ competency in research inquiry and quantitative/qualitative methodology, information-navigation skills positively influence dissemination of research and creative skills influences their level in quantitative/qualitative process, ethics and dissemination. Conclusion: In an evidence-based social work approach, research competences need to remain an important component of learning plans. However, considering the digitalisation trend higher education, it is expected that the content and format of research classes to adapt in order to assure the transferability of skills into the field of practice.

Published: March 2022

The problem of formation of grammatical structure of language in pre-schoolers is fundamental for understanding development of children’s speech. A brief description of the process of speech formation in preschool children suggests that a turning point in the development of speech is isolation of morphological elements of words from the merged speech material and their synthesis in their own utterances. However, differences in the actual data of researchers prevent discovery of a conditional standard by which grammatical structure of language is formed in ontogenesis. We considered the stages of speech development of a preschool child from birth to seven years old. We have singled out some important scientific facts for our study concerning the child’s acquisition of morphology and word formation. Thus, acquisition of grammatical knowledge is based on visual representation. This is quite a difficult way for a child, in which one can identify several stages: focusing on the sound form of a word, establishing a common sound form that is similar in different words, combining this form with a certain element, a phenomenon of the reality, establishing a “hard” connection of the sound complex with a specific phenomenon, and, as a consequence, projection of this sound complex to all words to denote the phenomenon in general (“model - type”).
​Biochemical Compositions of Milling Byproduct of Mungbean and its Fractions
Authors: Verma Prasoon , Kumar Vaibhav , Das Krishnashis , . Deepshikha , Parashar Manisha
Published: March 2022

Background: Mungbean is consumed as whole, sprouts or dehusked splits, in form of dal. Dal is prepared after removal of outer husk cover and splitting the cotyledons in abrasive emery roller mills to improve esculent properties. In the process of husk removal, milling byproduct, mixture of husk and cotyledon powder, is generated, which is usually utilized as low value cattle feed. The milling byproduct contains bioactive compounds useful for human health. In the study biochemical properties of two mungbean cultivars, namely, Shikha and Virat, were evaluated for whole, dal milling byproduct and its fractions, to explore using milling byproduct of mungbean for potential edible usages. Methods: In this study, mungbean cultivars were milled in abrasive roller after water soaking pre-milling treatment. Milling byproduct was fractionated into three particle sizes, i) greater than 1.0 mm, ii) greater than 0.125 mm and iii) less than 0.125 mm. Biochemical components, viz, protein, phenols, antioxidant activity and calorific values were estimated for whole grain, dehusked split (Dal), milling byproduct and its fractions for the two selected mungbean cultivars. Result: The protein content was observed to be high in split dal and powder fraction ( less than 0.125 mm) of milling byproduct. Antioxidant value and phenolic compound were higher in the byproduct fraction retained over greater than 1.00 mm sieve size due to presence of husk in this fraction. Calorific value of byproduct was higher than that of whole seed, dal and byproduct fractions. The study indicates that the mungbean milling byproduct, with beneficial bioactive component can be utilize to develop value added edible products of therapeutic and health benefits.
Dialling in: Reflections on Telephone Interviews in light of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Unnithan Malvika
Published: March 2022

Telephone interviews have always been the next best option to face-to-face interviews which has affected researchers’ perceptions of its use in qualitative research. This article considers the challenges against the use of telephone interviews as a primary source of data collection posed by the ‘gold standard’ - face-to-face interviews. With the rapid development of technology in recent years and an increased interest in virtual research, the viability of telephone interviews as a mode of data collection may be forgotten. Thereon, the methodological strengths of telephone interviews will be explored by comparing it to face-to-face interviews and considering its use in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. I will be drawing from my legal research study on the role of the education system in informing children aged 7-14 of their criminal responsibility in schools, to provide reflections, examples and make my argument.
The impact of algorithms on legitimacy in sentencing
Authors: Tiarks Elizabeth
Published: March 2022

This paper explores current and future possible uses of algorithms in sentencing and assesses the likely impact of their use on penal legitimacy. The focus is on sentencing in England and Wales, although examples from the United States, where the use of algorithms in sentencing is more extensive, are also considered. An understanding of legitimacy grounded in procedural fairness is used, with a particular focus on two key factors affecting fairness: bias and transparency. It is concluded that the use of algorithms in sentencing increases bias and decreases transparency, adversely affecting the fairness of the sentencing process and weakening penal legitimacy. The paper is intended to contribute to wider discussions on sentencing and the use of algorithms in criminal justice and may therefore appeal to academics in these areas, criminal justice practitioners and policymakers considering further development of algorithmic tools in sentencing.

Introduction: Although raltegravir has been available since 2007, data are lacking on the Portuguese population living with HIV who initiated this antiretroviral therapy. Hence, this study aimed to characterize the patients who initiated raltegravir-based regimens between January 2015 and December 2017, on sociodemographics, clinical features, and treatment satisfaction.Material and Methods: Observational, retrospective, multicentre study conducted at 11 reference sites. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected retrospectively from hospital medical records. For participants continuing raltegravir at study inclusion, the HIV Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire was administered to assess satisfaction with raltegravir-based therapy. Descriptive statistics were performed. Treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced subgroups were compared for demographic and clinical variables.Results: A total of 302 patients were included; mostly men (69.5%) with a mean age of 49 years old. Approximately half of the patients had at least one non-AIDS-related comorbidity at baseline (53.3%), such as hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and depression. Moreover, 52.3% were treatment-experienced patients with up to two treatments prior to raltegravir. Across the study time points, there was a reduction in the viral load and improvement in CD4 counts in both the treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced subgroups. Continuing users of raltegravir reported high treatment satisfaction (55.4 ± 7.2 points).Conclusion: Raltegravir-based regimens seem like a valid therapeutic option in heterogeneous populations of HIV-infected patients, in patients with previous ART experience and as part of first-line therapeutic options alongside with the latest generation of drugs from its class.

Authors: Indah Putri Dwi Permata
Published: March 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on various sectors including changes in the learning process in schools. As an important component in education, teachers have a role in supporting teaching and learning activities during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, teachers in implementing distance learning face obstacles in the form of unpreparedness to adapt to the technology used. This problem is also experienced by teachers at SDN Jajar Tunggal 1 Surabaya, so teachers must force themselves to continue learning using technology. This study aims to determine the discourse created in the implementation of distance learning. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method with Michael Foucault’s genealogical approach, and the determination of informants is carried out purposively. The results of this study are teachers have different discourses in seeing the implementation of distance learning. The implementation of distance learning using Microsoft Office 365 is used as a form of discipline for teachers. The use of technology makes it easier for schools and related agencies to evaluate teachers by standardizing the ability of teachers to apply technology. This study concludes that teachers have different discourses in the implementation of distance learning which are influenced by the knowledge of each teacher.

Authors: Susila Akbar Yudha , Prasetyo Andi Dwi , Hartono Ayu Puteri , Hasian Otniel Andreas
Published: March 2022

Until now, the distribution of Special Schools (SLB) in Indonesia is still considered uneven and does not have adequate quality education or tends to stagnate. This condition is exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which encourages people with disabilities, especially the Teman Dengar and Teman Tuli communities to conduct online learning activities through video and audio. In line with this, this study seeks to provide steps that can be a solution in creating a friendly environment for people with disabilities, especially for the Teman Dengar and Teman Tuli both in the short and long term through the education sector. In explaining this, this study uses a qualitative method with the Van Kaam data analysis method through the interpretation of primary data from interviews which is expanded through secondary data from literature studies. Based on the data obtained, this study found that the stigma from the community who views the disabled group as a group that has lower quality and does not require higher education is an important factor inhibiting the creation of a friendly environment for disabled groups, especially for the Teman Dengar and Teman Tuli in Indonesia. This study concludes that a friendly environment for persons with disabilities is needed, including in the field of education, such as the use of SIBI and BISINDO in the general education curriculum.
Lugares-comuns e decoro interno na invenção melódica segundo Johann Mattheson (1739)
Authors: Lucas Mônica , Paschoal Stéfano
Published: March 2022

A invenção melódica mostra-se como um tema instigante e capaz de suscitar as mais variadas discussões, pois lida diretamente com o aspecto primordial da composição musical. Épocas diversas possuem respostas também diversas para o processo criativo que dá origem aos temas melódicos. Neste artigo, afastandonos da tradição do gênio e da inspiração difundida principalmente no Romantismo, debruçamo-nos sobre a teoria da invenção melódica apresentada por Johann Mattheson em sua obra Der vollkommene Capellmeister [“O mestre de capela perfeito”, 1739]. O capítulo 4 da segunda parte do livro, intitulado “Sobre a invenção melódica”, busca, com expedientes da Retórica e da Dialética, elementos para explicar a invenção melódica. Compõem o rol desses elementos os lugares-comuns, ou loci communes, que são, segundo M.T. Cícero, as sedes argumentorum, ou “fontes dos argumentos”. A teoria dos lugares-comuns apresentada em Mattheson está em consonância com aquela apresentada na obra Curieuse Fragen über die Logica [“Questões curiosas sobre a Lógica”, 1696], de Christian Weise. Por questões de delimitação, serão apresentados e discutidos neste artigo, ao lado de um excurso sobre o decoro (aptum), apenas os lugares-comuns derivados do decoro interno na teoria da invenção musical. No sentido de esclarecer o texto de Mattheson, a presente discussão é acompanhada de exemplos musicais, ausentes no texto original.
O Satanás em O Paraíso Perdido: do trítono e suas sombras no heavy metal
Authors: Grain Matheus , Freitas Sérgio
Published: March 2022

Este texto propõe uma revisão de leituras e memórias sobre Satanás a partir do poema O Paraíso Perdido, escrito por John Milton em 1667. A revisão destaca ressonâncias desse marco da literatura inglesa na produção musical do heavy metal, uma vez que, nessas leituras e memórias, Satanás é compreendido como personificação da subversão, aquele que inaugura a contravenção frente à ordem estabelecida. A entidade é frequentemente representada, sonoramente, pelo trítono, intervalo que é conhecido como diabolus in musica.
