Abstract. Creating a century-long homogenized near-surface wind speed observation
dataset is essential to improve our current knowledge about the uncertainty and causes of wind speed stilling and recovery. Here, we rescued paper-based records of wind speed measurements dating back to the 1920s at 13 stations in Sweden and established a four-step homogenization procedure to generate the first 10-member centennial homogenized wind speed dataset (HomogWS-se) for community use. Results show that about 38 % of the detected change points were confirmed by the known metadata events, and the average segment length split by the change points is ∼11.3 years. Compared with the raw wind speed series, the homogenized series is more continuous and lacks significant non-climatic jumps. The homogenized series presents an initial wind speed stilling and subsequent recovery until the 1990s, whereas the raw series fluctuates with no clear trend before the 1970s. The homogenized series shows a 25 % reduction in the wind speed stilling during 1990–2005 than the raw series, and this reduction is significant when considering the homogenization uncertainty. The homogenized wind speed series exhibits a significantly stronger correlation with the North Atlantic oscillation index than that of the raw series (0.54 vs. 0.29). These results highlight the importance of the century-long homogenized series in increasing our ability to detect and attribute multidecadal variability and changes in wind speed. The proposed homogenization procedure enables other countries or regions to rescue their early climate data and jointly build global long-term high-quality datasets. HomogWS-se is publicly available from the Zenodo repository at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5850264 (Zhou et al., 2022).

Abstract. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has experienced more frequent and severe drought events in recent decades, leading to increasingly pressing concerns over already strained food and water security. An effective drought monitoring and early warning system is thus critical to support risk mitigation and management by countries in the region. Here we investigate the potential for assimilation of leaf area
index (LAI) and soil moisture observations to improve the representation of the overall hydrological and carbon cycles and drought by an advanced land surface model. The results reveal that assimilating soil moisture does not meaningfully improve model representation of the hydrological and biospheric
processes for this region, but instead it degrades the simulation of the interannual variation in evapotranspiration (ET) and carbon fluxes, mainly due to model
weaknesses in representing prognostic phenology. However, assimilating LAI leads to greater improvement, especially for transpiration and carbon fluxes, by constraining the timing of simulated vegetation growth response to evolving climate conditions. LAI assimilation also helps to correct for the erroneous interaction between the prognostic phenology and irrigation during summertime, effectively reducing a large positive bias in ET and carbon fluxes. Independently assimilating LAI or soil moisture alters the categorization of drought, with the differences being greater for more severe drought categories. We highlight the vegetation representation in response to changing land use and hydroclimate as one of the key processes to be captured for building a successful drought early warning system for the MENA region.
Technical note: TEOS-10 Excel – implementation of the Thermodynamic Equation Of Seawater – 2010 in Excel
Authors: Martins Carlos Gil , Cross Jaimie
Published: May 2022

Abstract. This paper and associated software implement the
Thermodynamic Equation Of Seawater – 2010 (TEOS-10) in Excel for an
efficient estimation of Absolute Salinity (SA), Conservative Temperature
(Θ), and derived thermodynamic properties of seawater – potential
density (σΘ), in situ density (ρSA,Θ,p), and sound speed (c). Vertical profile template plots
for these parameters are included as is an SA–Θ diagram
template, which includes plotting of the density field (computation
of user-selected σΘ lines is included). Absolute Salinity
can be directly measured with the aid of a densimeter (IOC, SCOR and IAPSO,
2010: p. 82), but in TEOS-10 its estimation relies on the interpolation of data
from casts of seawater from the world ocean (IOC, SCOR and IAPSO, 2010), and
the Excel workbook introduced here (TEOS-10 Excel, available at
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4748829) includes a subset of the TEOS-10
look-up tables necessary for this estimation, namely the Absolute Salinity Anomaly [deltaSA_ref] and the Absolute Salinity Anomaly Ratio
[SAAR_ref] look-up tables. As the user simply needs to paste
new data into the spreadsheet to automatically compute the oceanographic
parameters referred above, this tool may prove to be useful for all who
are not comfortable using the full-featured TEOS-10 programming language
environments (e.g. MATLAB, FORTRAN, C) but rather need a simpler way of
computing fundamental properties of seawater (e.g. density, sound speed) while adhering to current standards. Returned values are the same (up to 15
decimal places; i.e. difference = 0.000000000000000) as the ones
obtained with the MATLAB version of the GSW (Gibbs Sea Water) toolbox
(McDougall and Barker, 2011) available at the TEOS-10 website
(https://www.teos-10.org, last access: 13 April 2022). This paper describes the Excel workbook, its use,
and the included VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) functions. Quality
control against the GSW toolbox is also addressed, namely issues detected
with the interpolated values returned by the toolbox when there are missing
values in the reference look-up table. In these situations, the GSW toolbox
replaces missing values with a level pressure horizontal interpolation of
neighbour points, while it is clear from the testing results that vertical
interpolation, which was then implemented in TEOS-10 Excel, returns a more
robust solution.
Modelling supraglacial debris-cover evolution from the single-glacier to the regional scale: an application to High Mountain Asia
Authors: Compagno Loris , Huss Matthias , Miles Evan Stewart , McCarthy Michael James , Zekollari Harry , Dehecq Amaury , Pellicciotti Francesca , Farinotti Daniel
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Currently, about 12 %–13 % of High Mountain Asia’s glacier area is debris-covered, which alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris-covered glaciers are typically treated as clean-ice glaciers, leading to a bias when modelling their future evolution. Here, we present a new approach for modelling debris area and thickness evolution, applicable from single glaciers to the global scale. We derive a parameterization and implement it as a module into the Global Glacier Evolution Model (GloGEMflow), a combined mass-balance ice-flow model. The module is initialized with both glacier-specific observations of the debris' spatial distribution and estimates of debris thickness. These data sets account for the fact that debris can either enhance or reduce surface melt depending on thickness. Our model approach also enables representing the spatiotemporal evolution of debris extent and thickness. We calibrate and evaluate the module on a selected subset of glaciers and apply GloGEMflow using different climate scenarios to project the future evolution of all glaciers in High Mountain Asia until 2100. Explicitly accounting for debris cover has only a minor effect on the projected mass loss, which is in line with previous projections. Despite this small effect, we argue that the improved process representation is of added value when aiming at capturing intra-glacier scales, i.e. spatial mass-balance distribution.
Depending on the climate scenario, the mean debris-cover fraction is expected to increase, while mean debris thickness is projected to show only minor changes, although large local thickening is expected. To isolate the influence of explicitly accounting for supraglacial debris cover, we re-compute glacier evolution without the debris-cover module. We show that glacier geometry, area, volume, and flow velocity evolve differently, especially at the level of individual glaciers. This highlights the importance of accounting for debris cover and its spatiotemporal evolution when projecting future glacier changes.
Polarimetric radar reveals the spatial distribution of ice fabric at domes and divides in East Antarctica

Published: May 2022

Abstract. Ice crystals are mechanically and dielectrically anisotropic. They progressively align under cumulative deformation,
forming an ice-crystal-orientation fabric that, in turn, impacts ice deformation. However, almost all the observations
of ice fabric are from ice core analysis, and its influence on the ice flow is unclear. Here, we present a non-linear
inverse approach to process co- and cross-polarized phase-sensitive radar data. We estimate the continuous depth profile
of georeferenced ice fabric orientation along with the reflection ratio and horizontal anisotropy of the ice column. Our
method approximates the complete second-order orientation tensor and all the ice fabric eigenvalues. As a result, we
infer the vertical ice fabric anisotropy, which is an essential factor to better understand ice deformation using
anisotropic ice flow models. The approach is validated at two Antarctic ice core sites (EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) Dome C and EPICA Dronning
Maud Land) in contrasting flow regimes. Spatial variability in ice fabric characteristics in the dome-to-flank
transition near Dome C is quantified with 20 more sites located along with a 36 km long cross-section. Local
horizontal anisotropy increases under the dome summit and decreases away from the dome summit. We suggest that this is a
consequence of the non-linear rheology of ice, also known as the Raymond effect. On larger spatial scales, horizontal
anisotropy increases with increasing distance from the dome. At most of the sites, the main driver of ice fabric
evolution is vertical compression, yet our data show that the horizontal distribution of the ice fabric is consistent
with the present horizontal flow. This method uses polarimetric-radar data, which are suitable for profiling radar
applications and are able to constrain ice fabric distribution on a spatial scale comparable to ice flow observations
and models.

Therefore, the further development of the sector and the more effective use of existing competitive opportunities can be the best preconditions for promoting the country's economic growth, increasing economic competitiveness and ensuring national security. The paper addresses the current trends in
the modern energy system of the Republic of Armenia and the possible risks and challenges arising from them, as well as the motivations for the development of the sector by the public and private sectors.
Role of Hardiness and Social Support in Psychological Well-Being Among University Students
Authors: Anjum Rubina
Published: May 2022

This study explores the role of hardiness and social support in psychological well-being among university students. The sample consists of 208 university students who participated in an online survey. The result shows that social support and hardiness have a significant and positive correlation with all the dimensions of psychological well-being. Moreover, social support and hardiness were significant predictors of psychological well-being. This study suggests that apart from the academic curriculum, there is an absolute need to impart and develop social skills and hardiness traits among students, which could be beneficial for strengthening the psychological well-being of university students.

"Brand names represent a thesaurus of semantic effects, which evoke, individually and / or collectively, emotions, images, symbols. The development of the consumer society has created a competitive economic market, which is constantly generating new names for products and services. The phenomenon seems to be exclusively of an economic nature, but, in reality, it is a linguistic one, before anything else. Trademark names are part of commercial onomastics, representing a phenomenon between morphology and semantics, between lexicology and pragmatics. Brand names are not only denotative, but also have connotations for consumers, which must be taken into account in communication. The paper analyzes a vast corpus of names of local trademarks in semantic, typological and functional terms. The main objective of economic agents in choosing a brand name is the possible commercial success of the brand. Thus, some companies choose common, usual, stylistically unmarked names, others plead for suggestive or creative names. Trademark names represent proper names (anthroponyms, toponyms), common names (lexemes), morphological creations, lexemes with spelling changes, phraseologies (polylexical sequences), logos and numerical indicators, a priori similar words, etc."

However, there are also deviations from this rule, the result being a type of meaningless communication that lacks the object of communication. In our analysis, we take into consideration two of I.

Here, communication is replaced by noise or prattle and words circulate from one speaker to the other as material ""objects"" or signifiers. The signified is not a priority for the speakers; therefore, it is necessary to resort to various cognitive processes to restore the discursive universe. The readers feel confused, but in the end, they enter the game of these talkative puppets, as they pretend to be interested in the meaninglessness of this kind of noisy speech."
THE INTELLECTUALIZATION TENDENCY IN THE CURRENT VOCABULARY OF THE ROMANIAN AND BULGARIAN LANGUAGES

Published: May 2022

"The present paper aims to follow the tendency of intellectualization in the context of language development of Romanian and Bulgarian in the recent three decades, mostly in their lexicon. It proves to be one of the active language tendencies, being opposed to democratization, and less visible than that. It is identified in the following aspects: enrichment of the terminological subsystems with new units, determinologization, and at the level of word formation. Determinologization is regarded as a process of subsequent stages: from the migration of the specialized vocabulary into the general vocabulary to the gaining of a new figurative meaning in common usage. Essential similarities of the importance and intensity of the intellectualization tendency in both languages have been found."

"Starting from the premise that the “hospitality” and the dynamics of occupational terminologies in contemporary Romanian are strongly influenced by the process of globalisation, the present paper aims at investigating the impact of English on the so-called “fashion jargon”. Our contribution, based on a socio-terminological analysis, will approach three categories of recent English borrowings designating professionals, communicators and “amateurs” or consumers, respectively. Such terms, more or less integrated into the system of Romanian, are motivated by the referential and the persuasive functions fulfilled not only in the jargon of experts, but also in journalese, advertising as well as in bloggers’ discourse online."
THE COLLOQUIAL REGISTER: THE LEXICAL MARK OF ORALITY IN THE SHORT STORY DINTELE BY LIVIU REBREANU

Published: May 2022

"The familiar or colloquial register includes common words, used in small, familiar communities and families, being synonymous with affectivity, spontaneity, freedom, banality. It underpins artistic orality and has the role of sensitizing and “humanizing” the modern reader. A lexical mark of standard and substandard orality, the colloquial register contributes to the development of literary language, through the intentional adequacy of all compositional elements created by the author, to the suggestion of spoken language, in order to enhance expressiveness. By the lexical analysis of some words from the short story Dintele/ ‘The tooth’ by Liviu Rebreanu, we have achieved a short, familiar “lexicography” of orality, suggestive for understanding the message of the text, and also for rediscovering hidden affectivity, as an aspect of modernity of the interwar writer."

Published: May 2022

A flutuação populacional da noiva-do-arroz, Rupela albinella Cramer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), em arroz irrigado em Santa Catarina não é conhecida. Isto dificulta o planejamento global do manejo integrado de pragas a ser implantado nas lavouras. Desta forma, objetivou-se monitorar a incidência de mariposas da noiva-do-arroz, visando conhecer a flutuação populacional e determinar as épocas de maior ocorrência desse inseto nas lavouras. Armadilhas luminosas foram instaladas em áreas de cultivo de arroz irrigado na Estação Experimental da Epagri em Itajaí, SC e no Centro de Treinamento da Epagri, em Araranguá, SC. A partir de setembro de 2008 a março de 2021, as armadilhas foram ligadas das 16 às 9 horas, uma vez por semana, exceto de maio a agosto de cada ano, quando permaneceram desligadas. A flutuação populacional de mariposas R. albinella caracteriza-se pelo incremento inicial contínuo e posterior decaimento contínuo de indivíduos ao longo do tempo. Em Santa Catarina, as maiores populações em lavoura de arroz irrigado ocorrem no mês de dezembro no Sul Catarinense e em março no Litoral Norte.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a concentração de nutrientes nas folhas e o rendimento de maçãs em função do uso da irrigação e da forma de aplicação de adubos ao solo (convencional sólida ou fertirrigação). O experimento foi conduzido na safra 2014/15 em um pomar instalado sobre um Cambissolo Húmico, em São Joaquim (SC), com o cultivar Kinkas. Os tratamentos foram: adubação sólida convencional (ASC); adubação sólida convencional + irrigação (ASC+I); fertirrigação (F); e fertirrigação + irrigação (F+I). Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com oito repetições. A necessidade e o tempo de irrigação foram determinados pela média das leituras dos tensiômetros instalados entre as unidades experimentais. Foram avaliados os teores de Ca, Mg, P e K no solo e nas folhas, os parâmetros de produtividade, sólidos solúveis, acidez titulável e firmeza de polpa. O número e a produtividade de frutos, assim como os atributos de solo, não foram afetados pelos tratamentos. Nas folhas, os teores de Ca foram maiores no tratamento com I+F em relação ao com ASC+I; para Mg, os maiores teores ocorreram nos tratamentos com ASC e ASC+I; para o K, os tratamentos com I+F e F foram os que apresentaram os maiores teores. A menor concentração de açúcares nos frutos ocorreu no tratamento com fertirrigação. Apesar de afetar a composição das folhas, a forma de aplicação dos adubos e a irrigação não afetaram a produtividade de maçãs.
A Review on the Treatment of Petroleum Sludge and Use as Construction Materials
Authors: Mohd Pauzi Nurul Noraziemah , Ahmad Shah Mohamad Shazwan
Published: May 2022

Petrochemical is a vital pillar industry for the national economic growth wherein the past few years, it has produced a huge amount of petroleum sludge. Petroleum sludge (PS) contains toxic and carcinogenic-mutagenic compounds and heavy metals, which are a major source of pollution in the environment. Thus, it needs to be properly treated and disposed of. Correspondingly, this paper presents a review of the techniques to treat petroleum waste to effectively immobilize the heavy metals and highlights their possible application as construction materials. This review concludes that each treatment method (i.e., solidification, stabilization, incineration, bioremediation, centrifugation, etc.) has its own merits and demerits and may be more suitable for certain applications than others. The use of pyrolysis, solidification, and stabilization techniques has been demonstrated to be potentially beneficial in protecting the environment from contaminants in PS and further recycling PS as cementitious materials. However, the selection of suitable treatment methods has to be made based on the chemical composition of the waste, method capacity, costs, and disposal standards. Therefore, an overall evaluation is required prior to treatment method selection to ensure the safe disposal or recycling of petroleum waste. This review could improve basic knowledge of PS treatment and disposal techniques and serve as a future guide for recycling PS as a building material.

Purpose – Education policies in an economy are framed after considering today’s need of acquiring learning skills. Though, in India the system of rote-learning and learning on the basis of text was introduced by the British in India which is being reciprocated by new teaching skills and methodologies. Learning is now affected through direct or virtual experiences and is also based on actual hands on activities. Thus, today it becomes important for countries like India to introduce experiential learning especially in Entrepreneurial education in higher educational Institutions. Experiential learning in entrepreneurial education serves as the principal means of opportunity recognition and helps students to explore their experiences and develop new ideas and experiment with their implementation (Corbett 2005). This research is an effort to examine if there is a difference in the perception of male and female with respect to experiential learning. The model of Experiential Learning as expounded by Kolb has been used for the current study. Design/ Methodology – For achieving the aim of the study primary data collection technique are used. The data was collected through self-constructed questionnaire and it was filled up by the students who are actually involved experiential learning.

The Impact of External Ators Activities in Affecting Civil War Duration in Syria

Published: May 2022

This research aims to further explore the civil war that is taking place in Syria. This paper questions fundamentally, why did the civil war in Syria become a prolonged armed conflict? Or are there other factors that strengthen the strength of their resistance? This research offers a novelty of research on the situation of this conflict, is that the prolonged civil war in Syria is not only caused by internal conditions, but also the involvement of external actors. As with the approach of David E. Cunningham (2010) that the involvement of external actors in civil war produces two possibilities, namely; become a negotiating facilitator and help one party win. This research reveals that the involvement of external actors interventions - regional, international and transnational – actually prolongs the conflict. This is because the involvement of external actors causes the addition of combatants in the conflict, so the preference in the conflict increases.
Hétérogénéité des raisons d’abandons scolaire : l’impact des anticipations, des opportunités et des capacités cognitives des élèves en Tunisie

Published: May 2022

En s’inspirant de Montmarquette, Voennot-Brio et Dagenais (2007), nous considérons un modèle d’abandon scolaire où des élèves différent sous le double rapport des motivations et des anticipations des retombés du prolongement du cursus scolaire et de l’obtention d’un diplôme de fin d’études. Nous analyserons une situation de choix multinomial où nous identifions quatre types de décisions d’abandon versus la continuation des études.  Nous utilisons les données de l’enquête SWTS (2013) qui procure des informations sur la transition de l’école vers la vie active en Tunisie. Nous montrons que le principal déterminant de l’échec scolaire est l’appartenance à une région pauvre, le risque s’accentuant si l’élève montre une absence d’intérêt pour les études ou pâtit de la faible éducation de la mère et de son inactivité. Si ces trois conditions sont réunies, la probabilité de quitter l’école pour se marier à un âge précoce et l’acceptation d’un emploi en dessous de ses ambitions s’accroît, les élèves estimant alors que l’accès à l’école n’est plus un facteur évident d’ascension sociale. L’incohérence entre les objectifs du système scolaire et celles du marché de l’emploi accentue le pessimisme des élèves et les incitent à abandonner les bancs de l’école sans diplôme et sans qualification.
Existing Approaches to Define Cryptocurrency for Possible Legal Regulation
Authors:   University of Macau, Kuchina Yaroslava
Published: May 2022

In this article, the author considers the question of how the understanding of the essence of cryptocurrency as a destructive innovative technology is built. The position of the author lies in the fact that the cryptocurrency, even though it is, by all indications, one of the types of fintech, is considered separately in science. Due to this, in various works of scientists from different countries, one can note a trend towards a completely opposite understanding of what exactly is a cryptocurrency and what is its significance for changing the modern world financial system. Based on a comparative analysis of research positions, the author makes an attempt to evaluate several approaches to the definition of the concept of cryptocurrency. The author identifies three such approaches and also evaluates some purely local theories regarding cryptocurrencies and their nature. In order to express an individual position, the author highlights the main characteristics of the cryptocurrency and proposes to consider them not as a type of already existing currencies, but as a separate phenomenon. The author concludes that the study of cryptocurrencies at the micro and macro levels will allow not only to assess the risks of their use at a particular moment by specific categories of technology consumers but to assess the systemic nature of the phenomenon and its impact on the future. This, in turn, should allow answering the question of how and when it is worth starting to regulate cryptocurrencies by the law - and whether it is necessary to do this in general.

Published: May 2022

Introduction Glass ionomer luting cements (GIC) and Resin modified glass ionomer luting cements (RMGIC) are used to attach and seal fixed dental prostheses to teeth. Despite of their anticariogenic properties, there is still existence of caries. Studies have shown incorporation of chlorhexidine (CHX) can increase its antimicrobial action without affecting their physical properties. Objectives of the study The objective was to evaluate the effect of incorporation of CHX on flexural and compressive strength of conventional GIC and RMGIC. To compare the strength of both the cements on incorporation of CHX. Methodology: Forty bar shaped specimens and cylindrical specimens of both the cements were prepared for flexural strength and compressive strength testing using stainless steel mold. CHX powder was incorporated into experimental groups of both luting cements in a concentration of 1%. Specimens were stored in artificial saliva for 24 hours. Flexural strength and compressive strength of the specimens was determined using universal testing machine. Morphological evaluations for fractured surfaces were done using scanning electron microscopy. The data was statistically analyzed using independent sample t-test. Result: The results of the study showed that, addition of 1% CHX decreased compressive and flexural strength of both conventional GIC and RMGIC. On addition of CHX RMGIC showed better compressive and flexural strength compared to conventional GIC. Conclusions: The Chlorhexidine (CHX) amount should be kept below 1% for both the cements to sustain their strength.

Three Dimensional printing, is the latest addition to dentistry. This technology is considered to be the future that would change the manufacturing processes. The 3D printing process builds an object which is three dimensional from a computer-aided design (CAD) model. The process involved in 3D printing is called ‘additive manufacturing’ which successively adds material layer by layer. This technology has created a great impact in the field of dentistry. With advancements in three dimensional imaging and designing technologies in dentistry, it will have more significant effects on faster and improved treatment outcomes. This article reviews the various 3D printing technologies that are available, their advantages and disadvantages and their applications in the various fields of dentistry.

The art of reconstruction of the defects by non-living substitutes is the heart of maxillofacial prosthodontia1 . Reconstruction of any facial defect is a challenging task as a clinician. The prevalence of the eye defects has been reported to be about 60%, majority of which have been amongst the males.2 The loss of an eye may be due to a congenital defect,tumour,trauma. Rehabilitation of such complex defects requires a customised approach for the successful outcome of the prosthesis2. Peymen et al. has classified the surgical management of the removal of eye as: evisceration, enucleation and exenteration. Rehabilitation of the orbit with lost volume can be done either by a surgery or with the help of a prosthetic device3 . A craniofacial prosthesis that replaces the eyeball is an orbital prosthesis whereas the one which replaces the surrounding periorbital tissues is an ocular prosthesis. An accurate management for a successful rehabilitation involves a multidisciplinary approach4 This case report presents a practically convenient procedure for the construction of a customised orbital prosthesis that is aesthetically pleasant, retentive, and cost-effective. Here, the management following an enbloc removal of an eye was done using an adhesive retained silicone prosthesis.

Global seaports are interested in the concept of smart and sustainable ports that many have an impact on global trade and economics. This research aims to find the main factors and indicators of smart and sustainable port management, and confirm the factors of smart and sustainable port management using a case study of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) in Thailand. Mix method approach, qualitative research is used in the data collection with a total of three databases in 2015-2021. Content analysis with triangulation data is utilized to analyze these data finding the factors and indicators of smart and sustainable port management. Quantitative research is used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for confirming the factors and indicators and developing a conceptual model of smart and sustainable port performance. As the result, a conceptual model with three main factors is shown including the smart port environment, the smart port society, and the smart port economy. These main factors and indicators are represented as three factors and seventeen indicators of confirming explanation. This conceptual model for the introduction of port development explains smart and sustainable port performance and the key indicators to achieve port practice for improving international standards of smart and sustainable ports.
FORWARD & INVERSE KINEMATICS SOLUTION OF 6-DOF ROBOTS THOSE HAVE OFFSET & SPHERICAL WRISTS
Authors: DİKMENLİ Serap
Published: May 2022

One of the critical design decisions that arise during the design of an industrial robot is the function of the joints to be used and their location. Of course, for the designed robot to provide the expected performance, the selection of the motors and gear reducers that will create these joints will primarily affect the determination of these joints. However, both the examination of the existing industrial robots and the fact that the motor and gear reducer information that can be supplied can be easily obtained with today’s technology, these joints can be determined quickly as a result of a short investigation. Along with the mechanical design, robot control unit design also has stages that progress in parallel and depend on or affect the mechanical design decisions. One of the most important of these is that especially inverse kinematics calculations can be performed analytically, enabling the robot control unit to make decisions and give commands in real-time.
This article aims to publish the geometric calculation of inverse kinematics of commonly used exampled configuration of 6-DOF industrial robot that has offset and spherical joint along with interactive calculation tables and sheets. There are numerous articles published on the same subject but none of them has provided any verification supplement so far. Thus, it is also aimed to confirm and verify the calculations given in this article by providing convenient tables and sheets and to create a solid foundation for future studies.

In tragic news, the use of loaded words is one prominent device in constructing effective news headlines to draw interests and provoke readers’ emotions (Clark, 2007). Nevertheless, with a dearth of research studies in this phenomenon, the aims of this qualitative study are to investigate 1) what word classes of loaded words are found in tragic news headlines, and 2) how these loaded words provoke emotions and reactions in news readers. First, 180 tragic news headlines were purposively selected from all news headlines on nine websites between July to October 2019 and analyzed. The findings revealed that nouns and verbs were the two most prominent word classes used as loaded words (48.18% and 33.64%, respectively). Moreover, these loaded words were found at both word and phrase levels. Second, to explore news readers’ emotions, the two main instruments were used: 1) online questionnaire with 20 news headlines were uploaded, finally, 52 male and female respondents from 22 countries participated and 2) semi-structured interview with 4 (7.69%) interviewees was conducted with another 20 news headlines to explore more in-depth responses. Their overall reflections revealed that, with the impacts of loaded expressions, four related main factors helped provoke their emotions: 1) strong emotive meanings of loaded words, 2) textual context of a news headline, 3) news readers’ experiences, and 4) news readers’ cultural and social backgrounds. Overall, this seems to suggest that not the use of loaded words alone is a prominent language device in creating enough impacts in writing news headlines, but textual and socio-cultural contexts also play essential roles in provoking their emotions and influencing further reactions. That is, news writers should be aware that integrating these strategies together is very important in writing news headlines.

Brinquedos de programar são brinquedos que podem executar sequências de instruções definidas por crianças e possibilitam trabalhar conceitos de lógica e matemática de forma lúdica. O objeto desta pesquisa é a identificação das aprendizagens desenvolvidas por crianças de 5 e 6 anos de uma escola de educação infantil ao usarem um brinquedo de programar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa empírica, parte de uma dissertação de mestrado em Educação, de abordagem qualitativa, que realizou uma observação participante sistematizada a partir de um conjunto de critérios pré-definidos e utilizou a filmagem como forma de registro. O principal referencial teórico utilizado foi o construcionismo de Papert (2008), tanto nas práticas desenvolvidas, quanto na análise dos registros. A conclusão da pesquisa indica que o brinquedo de programar utilizado integrou-se facilmente às atividades da Educação Infantil, proporcionando o desenvolvimento de habilidades relacionadas à resolução de problemas e ao pensamento computacional.

Desenvolver o pensamento computacional (PC) nas crianças tem sido reconhecido atualmente como uma atividade importante para o exercício da cidadania no século XXI. No Brasil, há a recomendação de desenvolvimento do PC na educação formal desde a Educação Infantil (EI). No entanto, esse segmento tem apresentado uma maior resistência às inovações metodológicas. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa objetivou o desenvolvimento e aplicação de uma sequência didática (SD) para o desenvolvimento do PC na EI por meio da qual foram propostas atividades plugadas (com presença de hardware e software) e desplugadas (sem a presença de hardware e software) em conformidade à organização curricular desta etapa escolar, considerando o comportamento dos alunos diante das interações que lhes são proporcionadas, gerando conhecimentos práticos para a solução de problemas específicos sem estabelecer juízo de valor. Os resultados demonstraram que é possível desenvolver o PC na EI por meio de atividades plugadas e desplugadas.
