Research on the Influence of Different Winding Forms on the Performance
of Induction Motor
Authors: Yang Cunxiang , Ma Xiaolu , Qiu Hongbo , Liu Yubao , Liu Xiaomei
Published: February 2023

Background:

As a component of the motor’s electromechanical energy conversion,
the winding is very important. When the winding design is improper, the harmonic content is increased,
which leads to an increase in the motor loss and torque ripple. Therefore, winding design
is very important for motor design.

Objective:

The effect of winding forms on the induction motor is analysed in this paper. The
variation in performance parameters of different winding forms is invesitgated.

Methods:

This paper takes an 11 kW, 1500 r/min induction motor as the research object; the
two- dimensional transient field finite element model has been established to calculate the basic
parameters, which are then compared with the experimental data to verify the correctness of the
model. Finally, the magnetizing reactance, starting performance, stator leakage reactance, various
losses, and efficiency under different winding forms are calculated and compared.

Results:

When the motor adopts double-layer winding, the magnetizing reactance, stator slot
leakage reactance, and harmonic leakage reactance are less than those of the motor with single-layer
winding by 13.47%, 25.37% and 20.97%, respectively, while the end-leakage reactance, starting
torque, and starting current rotor copper loss are higher than those of the motor with single-layer
winding by 7.14%, 9.52%, 18.54%, and 15.23%, respectively. The core loss and stator copper loss
of motors with different winding forms are almost unchanged. The efficiency of the motor with
single-layer winding is higher than that of the motor with double-layer winding by 1.22%.

Conclusion:

When the winding form is different, the magnetizing reactance, stator slot leakage
reactance, harmonic leakage reactance, and end-leakage reactance are different. Leakage reactance
is the main factor that causes a difference in starting torque and starting current between the two
winding forms. The core loss and stator copper loss of motor with different winding forms are almost
unchanged, while the difference in the rotor copper loss is obvious. In addition, the efficiency of
the motor with single-layer winding is higher than that of the motor with double-layer winding.

A importância de se proceder à análise dos principais desafios jurídicos que a economia colaborativa coloca – pelas implicações que as mudanças de paradigma dos modelos de negócios e dos sujeitos envolvidos suscitam − é indiscutível, correspondendo à necessidade de se fomentar a segurança jurídica destas práticas, potenciadoras de crescimento económico e bem-estar social. O Centro de Investigação em Justiça e Governação (JusGov) constituiu uma equipa multidisciplinar que, além de juristas, integra investigadores de outras áreas, como a economia e a gestão, dos vários grupos do JusGov – embora com especial participação dos investigadores que integram o grupo E-TEC (Estado, Empresa e Tecnologia) – e de outras prestigiadas instituições nacionais e internacionais, para desenvolver um projeto neste domínio, com o objetivo de identificar os problemas jurídicos que a economia colaborativa suscita e avaliar se já existem soluções para aqueles, refletindo igualmente sobre a conveniência de serem introduzidas alterações ou se será mesmo necessário criar nova regulamentação. O resultado desta investigação é apresentado nesta obra, com o que se pretende fomentar a continuação do debate sobre este tema.
Classifying Sexes
Authors: Maung Hane Htut
Published: February 2023

In the political discourse regarding gender identity, the concept of biological sex has been weaponised by gender critical commentators to oppose gender affirmation for trans people. Recently, these commentators have appealed to an essentialist model of sex based on anisogamy, or relative gamete size, to argue that one’s sex is an immutable characteristic. I argue that the gender critical argument is unsound. The diverse purposes of sex classification and the complex variability of people’s sexual characteristics show that an essentialist model is untenable. I then consider how a more adequate theoretical framework from the philosophy of biology can accommodate this complexity and capture how sex is classified in relevant contexts. Further implications of the framework are explored which concern the vagueness, polysemy, and mutability of sex. These undercut the gender critical argument and show that the appeal to biological sex fails to undermine gender affirmation for trans people.

Periodical Formats in the Market: Economies of Space and Time, Competition and Transfer
Authors: Ramtke Nora , Husić Mirela , Bachmann Christian A.
Published: February 2023

This special issue offers contributions selected from the 9th ESPRit conference hosted by the DFG Research Unit 2288 ‘Journal Literature’ and the Ruhr University Bochum. They address a wide range of phenomena from mass-market periodicals to niche publications in the smallest print runs. One approach to describe the commodification of periodicals within the increasingly differentiated capitalistic print media market with both niches and mass segments is to pursue their ‘life’ as a history of successful or failed adaption to this market. However, we understand periodicals in the market only as a starting point to explore the cultural significance of the format, temporality, materiality, and visuality of relations of transfer or competition within and between print products.
Linguistic Methodologies to Surveil the Leading Causes of Mortality: Scoping Review of Twitter for Public Health Data
Authors: Lane Jamil M , Habib Daniel , Curtis Brenda
Published: February 2023

Background

Twitter has become a dominant source of public health data and a widely used method to investigate and understand public health–related issues internationally. By leveraging big data methodologies to mine Twitter for health-related data at the individual and community levels, scientists can use the data as a rapid and less expensive source for both epidemiological surveillance and studies on human behavior. However, limited reviews have focused on novel applications of language analyses that examine human health and behavior and the surveillance of several emerging diseases, chronic conditions, and risky behaviors.

Objective

The primary focus of this scoping review was to provide a comprehensive overview of relevant studies that have used Twitter as a data source in public health research to analyze users’ tweets to identify and understand physical and mental health conditions and remotely monitor the leading causes of mortality related to emerging disease epidemics, chronic diseases, and risk behaviors.

Methods

A literature search strategy following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) extended guidelines for scoping reviews was used to search specific keywords on Twitter and public health on 5 databases: Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar. We reviewed the literature comprising peer-reviewed empirical research articles that included original research published in English-language journals between 2008 and 2021. Key information on Twitter data being leveraged for analyzing user language to study physical and mental health and public health surveillance was extracted.

Results

A total of 38 articles that focused primarily on Twitter as a data source met the inclusion criteria for review. In total, two themes emerged from the literature: (1) language analysis to identify health threats and physical and mental health understandings about people and societies and (2) public health surveillance related to leading causes of mortality, primarily representing 3 categories (ie, respiratory infections, cardiovascular disease, and COVID-19). The findings suggest that Twitter language data can be mined to detect mental health conditions, disease surveillance, and death rates; identify heart-related content; show how health-related information is shared and discussed; and provide access to users’ opinions and feelings.

Conclusions

Twitter analysis shows promise in the field of public health communication and surveillance. It may be essential to use Twitter to supplement more conventional public health surveillance approaches. Twitter can potentially fortify researchers’ ability to collect data in a timely way and improve the early identification of potential health threats. Twitter can also help identify subtle signals in language for understanding physical and mental health conditions.
Web-Based Patient Recommender Systems for Preventive Care: Protocol for Empirical Research Propositions
Authors: Howell Pamella , Aryal Arun , Wu Crystal
Published: February 2023

Background

Preventive care helps patients identify and address medical issues early when they are easy to treat. The internet offers vast information about preventive measures, but the sheer volume of data can be overwhelming for individuals to process. To help individuals navigate this information, recommender systems filter and recommend relevant information to specific users. Despite their popularity in other fields, such as e-commerce, recommender systems have yet to be extensively studied as tools to support the implementation of prevention strategies in health care. This underexplored area presents an opportunity for recommender systems to serve as a complementary tool for medical professionals to enhance patient-centered decision-making and for patients to access health information. Thus, these systems can potentially improve the delivery of preventive care.

Objective

This study proposes practical, evidence-based propositions. It aims to identify the key factors influencing patients’ use of recommender systems and outlines a study design, methods for creating a survey, and techniques for conducting an analysis.

Methods

This study proposes a 6-stage approach to examine user perceptions of the factors that may influence the use of recommender systems for preventive care. First, we formulate 6 research propositions that can be developed later into hypotheses for empirical testing. Second, we will create a survey instrument by collecting items from extant literature and then verify their relevance using expert analysis. This stage will continue with content and face validity testing to ensure the robustness of the selected items. Using Qualtrics (Qualtrics), the survey can be customized and prepared for deployment on Amazon Mechanical Turk. Third, we will obtain institutional review board approval because this is a human subject study. In the fourth stage, we propose using the survey to collect data from approximately 600 participants on Amazon Mechanical Turk and then using R to analyze the research model. This platform will serve as a recruitment tool and the method of obtaining informed consent. In our fifth stage, we will perform principal component analysis, Harman Single Factor test, exploratory factor analysis, and correlational analysis; examine the reliability and convergent validity of individual items; test if multicollinearity exists; and complete a confirmatory factor analysis.

Results

Data collection and analysis will begin after institutional review board approval is obtained.

Conclusions

In pursuit of better health outcomes, low costs, and improved patient and provider experiences, the integration of recommender systems with health care services can extend the reach and scale of preventive care. Examining recommender systems for preventive care can be vital in achieving the quadruple aims by advancing the steps toward precision medicine and applying best practices.

A Family-Based Collaborative Care Model for Treatment of Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Perinatal Women: Results From a Pilot Study
Authors: Cluxton-Keller Fallon , Olson Ardis
Published: February 2023

Background

Untreated perinatal depression and anxiety can have detrimental consequences on family function. Logistical barriers prevent many perinatal women from accessing treatment, and these barriers are compounded for women residing in rural areas. This paper describes a Family-Based Collaborative Care Model (FBCCM) that is designed to bypass barriers to increase access to care for depressed and anxious perinatal women in rural regions of the United States. The FBCCM includes the following two components: (1) a 10-session video-delivered family therapy treatment for perinatal depression and anxiety and (2) a video-delivered infant care provider training on addressing the parenting needs of depressed and anxious mothers.

Objective

This paper describes the feasibility of implementing the FBCCM with families and infant care providers. Findings are presented on the preliminary effectiveness of the video-delivered family therapy treatment in reducing maternal depressive and anxiety symptoms, and family conflict.

Methods

This pilot study was carried out using an implementation-effectiveness hybrid trial design without a comparison group. Changes in maternal depressive symptoms, maternal anxiety symptoms, and family conflict were measured at posttreatment, 3 months, and 6 months later.

Results

On average, mothers (n=24) attended 9.79 (SD 1.02) sessions. On average, their family members (n=24) attended 9.42 (SD 1.28) sessions. A total of 31 infant care providers attended the training on addressing the parenting needs of depressed and anxious mothers. Mothers reported a significant reduction in depressive symptoms (P<.001) and anxiety symptoms (P<.001) from baseline to the 6-month follow-up. Mothers reported a significant reduction in conflict (P<.001), and their family members also reported a significant reduction in conflict (P=.007) from baseline to the 6-month follow-up.

Conclusions

The findings from this study provide support for the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the FBCCM. The findings will be used to inform a larger study of the FBCCM.

Published: February 2023

Background

Patient portals not only provide patients with access to electronic health records (EHRs) and other digital health services, such as prescription renewals, but they can also improve patients’ self-management, engagement with health care professionals (HCPs), and care processes. However, these benefits depend on patients’ willingness to use patient portals and, ultimately, their experiences with the usefulness and ease of use of the portals.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the perceived usability of a national patient portal and the relationship of patients’ very positive and very negative experiences with perceived usability. The study was aimed to be the first step in developing an approach for benchmarking the usability of patient portals in different countries.

Methods

Data were collected through a web-based survey of the My Kanta patient portal’s logged-in patient users in Finland from January 24, 2022, to February 14, 2022. Respondents were asked to rate the usability of the patient portal, and the ratings were used to calculate approximations of the System Usability Scale (SUS) score. Open-ended questions asked the patients about their positive and negative experiences with the patient portal. The statistical analysis included multivariate regression, and the experience narratives were analyzed using inductive content analysis.

Results

Of the 1,262,708 logged-in patient users, 4719 responded to the survey, giving a response rate of 0.37%. The patient portal’s usability was rated as good, with a mean SUS score of 74.3 (SD 14.0). Reporting a very positive experience with the portal was positively associated with perceived usability (β=.51; P<.001), whereas reporting a very negative experience was negatively associated with perceived usability (β=−1.28; P<.001). These variables explained 23% of the variation in perceived usability. The information provided and a lack of information were the most common positive and negative experiences. Furthermore, specific functionalities, such as prescription renewal and the ease of using the patient portal, were often mentioned as very positive experiences. The patients also mentioned negative emotions, such as anger and frustration, as part of their very negative experiences.

Conclusions

The study offers empirical evidence about the significant role of individual experiences when patients are evaluating the usability of patient portals. The results suggest that positive and negative experiences provide relevant information that can be used for improving the patient portal’s usability. Usability should be improved so that patients receive information efficiently, easily, and quickly. Respondents would also appreciate interactive features in the patient portal.

Published: February 2023

The conditions and the organization of the work can directly interfere with the health of professionals. One of the consequences of this is stress, which, if prolonged Burnout syndrome that begins, in general, with physical and mental exhaustion, and also manifests itself with signs of depersonalization and low professional accomplishment. Its incidence occurs in several areas, with emphasis on the professions in which the employee deals directly with the human being, with emphasis in this context, the health area stands out. The present study sought to verify the design of the Brazilian surveys on Burnout Syndrome carried out with healthcare professionals, as well as to present its results in order to actions of treatment/intervention to minimize the impacts of this syndrome. To this end, an integrative literature review was carried out in the Scielo database. The search criteria included articles in Portuguese, published between 2020 and 2021 obtained by crossing the keywords Burnout X health professionals, being selected 13 articles to compose its corpus. Regarding the methodological design of the works reviewed, there was one literature review article, and the others are field researches. The types of instruments used in the field researches 22, including: questionnaires, inventories, scales, forms, tests, form, and test. The most used instrument was the Maslach Burnout Inventory Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI - 08 studies. Regarding the research participants, there is a predominance of nursing professionals and physicians. In general, the research aims to survey the existence of the the syndrome in question, as well as biopsychosocial factors associated to its occurrence and to the quality of life of the professionals. In view of this reality, it is suggested that research on the syndrome in focus be carried out with other professionals in the health area and not only those cited in this analysis. It is also emphasized that the researches analyzed here show the reality of the occurrence of the syndrome in focus, some of them mention the need for prevention and intervention, however, none of the researches reviewed specifically addressed the implementation of practical actions, which should be thought about by researchers interested in the theme in question.
ProjectION: A computational intelligence-based tool for decision support in agile software development projects
Authors: Pérez-Piqueras Víctor , Bermejo Pablo , Gámez José A.
Published: February 2023

The growing complexity of software development has caused project
management techniques to shift towards agile methodologies, which are
usually supported by software tools that help planning and reporting.
However, most popular tools are fairly simple in terms of decision
support. In this work, we aim to implement a software tool that supports
the decision maker in agile project management by means of computational
intelligence-based methods. We have analyzed the needs in an agile
project, and designed and implemented a software solution named
ProjectION. The tool has been made public and evaluated with real users,
obtaining positive feedback that indicates it is of interest for
experienced managers and software engineers. ProjectION solves the most
common needs in agile-managed projects. It provides an intuitive user
interface that supports the decision maker in managing and reporting
project status, forecasting expected progress, and automatically
planning software releases solving the well-known Next Release Problem.
Used algorithms and the execution service have been made available to
the community in order to enable future integrations of other
researchers’ approaches to the Next Release Problem.
Well-posedness and exponential stability for a nonlinear wave equation with acoustic boundary conditions
Authors: Bautista George J. , Límaco Juan , Potenciano-Machado Leyter
Published: February 2023

In this paper, we prove the well-posedness of a nonlinear wave equation
coupled with boundary conditions of Dirichlet and acoustic type imposed
on disjoints open boundary subsets. The proposed nonlinear equation
models small vertical vibrations of an elastic medium with weak internal
damping and a general nonlinear term. We also prove the exponential
decay of the energy associated with the problem. Our results extend the
ones obtained by Frota-Goldstein [18] and
Limaco-Clark-Frota-Medeiros [26] to allow weak internal dampings and
removing the dimensional restriction 1≤ n≤4. The method we use is
based on a finite-dimensional approach by combining the Faedo-Galerkin
method with suitable energy estimates and multiplier techniques.
Attitude Determination for Multirotor Aerial Vehicles using a Predefined-time Super Twisting Algorithm
Authors: Silva João Filipe , Santos D.A.
Published: February 2023

In recent works, well-known three-dimensional localization methods
studied in the aerospace field have been revisited for applications on
multirotor aerial vehicles (MAVs). However, most of these classic
methods employ stochastic estimators that are asymptotically stable, in
a stochastic sense, and exhibit high sensitivity to disturbances and
model uncertainties. The goal of this paper is to propose and evaluate a
novel solution to the localization problem of MAVs, employing
multivariable robust observers based on sliding-mode techniques. Aiming
to improve on the existing methods usually based on the extended Kalman
filter, this paper investigates sliding-mode techniques to reach
finite-time stabilization of the estimation error and provide robustness
to disturbances and uncertainties. The super-twisting algorithm (STA) is
considered as a starting point for its recognized performance when used
to design differentiators. In particular, a modification of the STA is
proposed, replacing one of its terms with a certain time-varying
function that allows the upper bound of the settling time of the
resulting algorithm to be a direct adjustable parameter. The proposed
algorithm’s behavior is numerically evaluated and is shown to yield the
predicted properties even in the presence of bounded disturbances and
uncertainties. Additionally, an attitude determination problem employing
the proposed algorithm is presented as an application. The
three-dimensional attitude and angular velocity of an MAV are accurately
estimated under strict settling-time restrictions, using only the vector
measurements provided by an accelerometer and a magnetometer.

Chicago Sky Blue 6B Exerts Neuroprotective and Anti-inflammatory Effects on Focal Cerebral Ischemia
Authors: Pomierny Bartosz , Krzyżanowska Weronika , Skórkowska Alicja , Jurczyk Jakub , Budziszewska Bogusława , Pera Joanna
Published: February 2023

Background and Purpose. Brain ischemia is one of the leading
causes of death and long-term disability worldwide. Cessation of the
blood supply to the brain directly stimulates many pathological events,
including glutamate overload and neuroinflammation. Glial cell
activation occurs shortly after ischemia onset, resulting in the release
of proinflammatory cytokines and exacerbation of the detrimental effects
of neuroinflammation. Proinflammatory signals influence the infiltration
of a wide range of immune cells, including neutrophils, T cells and
monocytes/macrophages. In this study, we aimed to verify the potential
anti-inflammatory effect of Chicago Sky Blue 6B (CSB6B) in a rat model
of focal cerebral ischemia (90-minute middle cerebral artery occlusion).
Experimental approach. CSB6B was administered 2 h before
ischemia induction (pretreatment) or 1.5 h after reperfusion onset
(posttreatment). A model of ischemic preconditioning was used as the
comparator to pretreatment with CSB6B. Key Results
&Conclusions. The results of indicated that posttreatment with CSB6B
had profound anti-inflammatory effects that were associated with reduced
neurological deficits and a decreased infarct volume. At 24 h, 3 days
and 7 days after brain ischemia, CSB6B administration reduced the
protein levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as Il1β, Il6, Il18 and
TNFα, in the cerebral cortex and the dorsal striatum. Treatment with
CSB6B also limited the scope of microglia and astrocyte activation and
the infiltration of immune cells. Implications. Taken together,
this study shows that compounds such as CSB6B might be promising
pharmacological tools; however, further studies on the improvements in
the drug-like properties of these compounds must be undertaken.

A proper developmental state framework for Greece
Authors: Arestis Philip , Karagiannis Nikolaos
Published: February 2023

Post World War II, Greece was enjoying, by and large, significant economic growth that was only slightly lower than that of other Western European nations. However, immediately after the financial crisis of 2007-2008, the country faced a sovereign debt crisis. This continuing multifaceted crisis reached the populace as a series of restrictive measures and sudden reforms (what James K. Galbraith (2016) labels ?economic policy as moral abomination?), which resulted in a very long recession, high unemployment, massive inequalities and marginalization, increased social exclusion, and huge migration of thousands of well-educated Greeks. Within such economic development context, this contribution provides an overview of Greece?s past economic development efforts and challenges (Section 1); discusses important notions of a highly interventionist developmental state framework with ?Greek characteristics? as its main focus (Section 2); and offers developmental state-based policy implications, which are deemed necessary for the revival and global repositioning of Greek industrial sectors of high potential and achievability (Section 3). Summary and conclusions end the article.

Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. Shoes is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word shoes are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes.Keywords: shoes, meanings, features

Mayer (2009) film analysis on Foucauldian approach of discourse analysis. It connects linguistic discursive practice, non-linguistic discursive practice, and materialization (object). Because of the limitation of the space in presenting the data, this paper focuses only on the linguistic discursive practice in terms of lexicalization and four songs represented in the film. The result shows that in terms of lexicalization, the use of word girl compared man has an implied deal with the case of stereotypes. Likewise, the symbol of girl as a doll and man as a sword symbolized in the film also bring the effect on the stereotypes which are characterized by the female and male characters.

Authors: Kristanti Fransisca
Published: February 2023

The aim of the research is to identify the real-life distribution of the comparative forms of adjectives. This paper is a corpus-based analysis which discusses comparative forms of adjectives from the linguistics perspectives. British National Corpus (BNC) is used to collect the data due to the generality of the corpora. BNC contains the collection of both spoken and written language in various text types, thus, it represents language variety as a whole. The analysis is done using semantic and syntax approach. Downings and Lockes (2006) theory on semantic classes and Quirks and Greenbaums (1973) theory on syntactic functions were applied. The analysis was done in cycles, and stopped at the third cycle due to the similar findings between cycles. Ninety out of two hundred sentences containing comparative adjectives were analyzed. The analysis results in several findings. First, both semantic classes, descriptors and classifiers, appear in the analysis of comparative adjectives. Yet, the most frequent occurrence is in the semantic class of descriptors. Second, there are four syntactic functions in which comparative adjectives occur and most of them function as pre-modifier of a noun phrase. This paper presents the initial step for further research on comparative adjectives based on the research of semantics and syntax. Further researches on how semantic classes influence syntactic functions is encouraged.

Analysis of Free Indirect Discourse Narratives in the Works of Austen, Joyce, and Kingston
Authors: Manggong Lestari
Published: February 2023

Language, with the complexity of its structure, can be problematic in terms of interpreting works of literature. This essay discusses the problems perceived in the process of interpretation of free indirect discourse narratives in Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice and Emma, James Joyces A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man and The Dead, and Maxine Hong Kingstons Tripmaster Monkey. Narratives with free indirect discourse opens up possibility of misinterpretation caused by the misconception of whose point of view the story is told. By looking at the works within the concept of narratology by Chatman (1978) and Prince (2003), such narrativeswhich apply the viewpoint of omniscient narratorscause ambiguity to the voice of external and internal focalisers. This is due to the fact that the use of such narratives blends the two types of focalisations. The findings of this research lead to an argument that through external focalisation, the view becomes objective. Yet through internal focalisation, the view tends to become subjective as it is infiltrated by the characters view. Such an argument then gives way to a conclusion that narratives with free indirect discourse gives effect to irony in the story-telling process of the works discussed.
