Gesture-Driven LEGO robots
Authors: Kovács Lehel István
Published: August 2019

In this short survey and case study we want to present our research experience through the project developed by our team, that involves the building of a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotic arm and tracked robot car which mimics the motion of the human arm and legs. We used 3 interconnected LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 bricks to reach the desired degrees of freedom. Using a Kinect sensor, the system detects the motion of the human user’s arm and creates the skeletal image of the arm. Coordinate geometry and different approximation methods are used to calculate the rotation angles between the bones connecting the joints. In our project the key is inverse kinematics, whitch makes use of the kinematics equations to determine the joint rotation parameters that provide a desired position for each of the robot’s end-effectors – arms and legs (wheels). The combined motion of the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 motors results in a complete robotic forward or backward motion and arm movement which is a perfect mimic of the human arm movement.

Authors: Sih Darmi Astuti , Kusni Ingsih
Published: August 2019

The purpose of this study is to create a model of the procrastination on Public Works Office of Semarang City, Central Java. The increasing need for excellent service in the field of building and city planning, is increasingly increasing the workload for employees. The large number of community complaints about old problems and the difficulty of licensing and information and developer problems are important factors in performance appraisal. Factors that cause the length of processing of permits include lack of professionalism of civil servants in carrying out tasks and tend to like to postpone work. Based on the complaint, it is necessary to analyze what causes procrastination and how it impacts the agency. The population in this study were civil servants, with a sample of 111 people. Data obtained by survey method using a questionnaire. The analytical tool used is multiple linear regression analysis. The study found that workload and educational level had an impact on procrastination. Procrastination affects stress and employee performance. Workload is the strongest influence affecting procrastination, which has a direct impact on employee performance. While stress does not mediate the relationship of procrastination on employee performance.
A comprehensive review of plus-minus ratings for evaluating individual players in team sports
Authors: Hvattum Lars Magnus
Published: August 2019

The increasing availability of data from sports events has led to many new directions of research, and sports analytics can play a role in making better decisions both within a club and at the level of an individual player. The ability to objectively evaluate individual players in team sports is one aspect that may enable better decision making, but such evaluations are not straightforward to obtain. One class of ratings for individual players in team sports, known as plus-minus ratings, attempt to distribute credit for the performance of a team onto the players of that team. Such ratings have a long history, going back at least to the 1950s, but in recent years research on advanced versions of plus-minus ratings has increased noticeably. This paper presents a comprehensive review of contributions to plus-minus ratings in later years, pointing out some key developments and showing the richness of the mathematical models developed. One conclusion is that the literature on plus-minus ratings is quite fragmented, but that awareness of past contributions to the field should allow researchers to focus on some of the many open research questions related to the evaluation of individual players in team sports.

Authors: Talattinis K. , Kyriakides G. , Kapantai E. , Stephanides G.
Published: August 2019

Realizing the significant effect that misprediction has on many real-world problems, our paper is focused on the way these costs could affect the sports sector in terms of soccer outcome predictions. In our experimental analysis, we consider the potential influence of a cost-sensitive approach rather than traditional machine-learning methods. Although the measurement of prediction accuracy is a very important part of the validation of each model, we also study its economic significance. As a performance metric for our models, the Sharpe ratio metric is calculated and analyzed. Seeking to improve Sharpe ratio value, a genetic algorithm is applied. The empirical study and evaluation procedure of the paper are primarily based on English Premier League’s games, simple historical data and well-known bookmakers’ markets odds. Our research confirms that it is worthwhile to employ cost-sensitive methods for the successful predictions of soccer results and better investment opportunities.
Estimating the Impact of Texture Depth on the Roughness of Cement Concrete Airfield Pavements
Authors: Wesołowski Mariusz , Blacha Krzysztof
Published: August 2019

Appropriate skid resistance properties of airfield pavements are extremely important in terms of the safety of air operations. Their evaluation is not limited to the measurements of the coefficient of friction, which determines the roughness of a pavement, but also involves measuring the depth of the pavement texture (micro- and macrotexture), which is a component of the tire-pavement contact surface friction characteristics. It should be stressed that the current aviation documents do not contain a strict interconnection between the texture depth parameter and airfield pavement coefficient of friction criteria. Based on the result population gathered in the course of the field tests, the authors plan to determine the impact of texture on the roughness of airfield pavements.

Published: August 2019

In this work, polypyrrole and polythiophene conducting polymers (CPs) have been synthesized and doped with volcanic basalt rock (VBR) in order to improve their dielectric properties for technological applications. The structure and morphology of the composites with different VBR doping concentrations were characterized by FT-IR and SEM analyses. The best charge storage ability was achieved for maximum VBR doping concentration (50.0 wt.%) for both CPs. Dielectric relaxation types of the composites were determined as non-Debye type due to non-zero absorption coefficient and observation of semicircles whose centers were below Z′ axis at the Nyquist plots. It was also ascertained that VBR doping makes the molecular orientation easier than for non-doped samples and reduced energy requirement of molecular orientation. In addition, AC conductivity was totally masked by DC conductivity for all samples at low frequency.

Published: August 2019

The effect of electrodeposition potential on the magnetic properties of the FeCoNi films has been reported in this paper. The FeCoNi electrodeposition was carried out from sulfate solution using potentiostatic technique. The obtained FeCoNi films were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It has been shown that the electrodeposition potential applied during the synthesis process determines the magnetic characteristics of FeCoNi films. The more negative potential is applied, the higher Ni content is in the FeCoNi alloy. At the same time, Co and Fe showed almost similar trend in which the content decreased with an increase in applied potential. The mean crystallite size of FeCoNi films was ranging from 11 nm to 15 nm. VSM evaluation indicated that the FeCoNi film is a ferromagnetic alloy with magnetic anisotropy. The high saturation magnetization of FeCoNi film was ranging from 86 A·m2/kg to 105 A·m2/kg. The film is a soft magnetic material which was revealed by a very low coercivity value in the range of 1.3 kA/m to 3.7 kA/m. Both the saturation magnetization and coercivity values decreased at a more negative electrodeposition potential.

Published: August 2019

Simulated transmission spectra for tapered fibers with no taper, one taper and two tapers in the near infrared wavelength range, calculated by Finite-Difference-Time-Domain method are currently presented. Transmission peak positions tend to shift to the shorter wavelength when the taper deformation is added to the fiber or the taper width gets narrower. The thickness sensitivity for the tapered structures with different taper thicknesses is about 2.28e-3 nm·µm−1. There is an interference structure in the electric field distribution images, which reveals in the fiber structures. The transmission spectra for the fiber without taper, one taper and two-tapered structures were simulated in near infrared wavelength by FDTD. The transmission spectra for tlated in near infrared wavelength by FDTD. The sensitivity of the fiber was about 50 nm × RIU−1 and it had better refractive index detection. The tapered fiber can be applied to the bio-chemical sensors and physical deformation testing.
Equal Outcomes, but Different Treatment – Subtle Discrimination in Email Responses From a Correspondence Test in Switzerland
Authors: Zschirnt Eva
Published: August 2019

Correspondence tests on discrimination usually report only whether an applicant was invited for a job interview or not. Yet, data from a field experiment in Switzerland demonstrate that candidates with the same outcome are not necessarily treated equally. The paper complements correspondence test results with information on the time elapsed until candidates were contacted, as well as qualitative differences in invitation or rejection emails.
Employee Participation in Practice: Works Councils in the Tissue of Social Partnership in Switzerland
Authors: Ziltener Patrick , Gabathuler Heinz
Published: August 2019

The article gives an overview on the situation of firm-level employee representation in the private sector in Switzerland: Where are they frequent? Which formal status do they enjoy? What are the topics they deal with? How do they position themselves between the affiliation to the firm and the interconnection beyond the limits of the firm? We show that the strong decentralisation of industrial relations in Switzerland leads to regulations and conventions at branch and firm level with a much larger impact on the practice than legal regulations.

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan konsep penyelenggaraan dan tata kelola Art of Costume (AOC), perhelatan fesyen tahunan yang digagas oleh Himpunan Mahasiswa Tata Rias dan Busana (Himtarius) FSRD ISBI Bandung. Hal ini didasarkan oleh dua hal. Pertama, sejauhpengamatan penulis belum ditemukan event sejenis yang diproduksi oleh himpunan mahasiswa di bidang fesyen dari Perguruan Tinggi Seni di Indonesia. Kedua, perhelatan fesyen yang lebih menitikberatkan pada unsur seninya ini terbukti mampu mengantarkan mahasiswa yang terlibat di dalamnya memperoleh penghargaan bergengsi di Jember Fashion Carnival (JFC)─karnaval terbaik ketiga dunia─baik sebagai best performance, best costume, maupun unique costum. Keberhasilan ini tentu tidak lepas dari konsep penyelenggaraan dan tata kelola AOC itu sendiri. Oleh sebab itu, tulisan ini dirasa cukup urgensi karena setidaknya dapat dijadikan rujukan pengelolaan event fesyen yang berkelas dalam konteks pendidikan seni.AbstractThis paper aims to describe the concept of organizing and managing the Art of Costume (AOC), an annual fashion event initiated by Himpunan Mahasiswa Tata Rias dan Busana (Himtarius)FSRD ISBI Bandung. This is based on two things. First, as far as the author's observations havenot been found similar events produced by the student association in the field of fashion from the College of Arts in Indonesia. Second, the fashion event which emphasizes more on the art elements has proven the ability to get the students involved in it to get prestigious awards at JemberFashion Carnival (JFC)─the third-best carnival in the world─both as best performance, best performance, and unique costume. This success is certainly inseparable from the concept of organizing and managing the AOC itself. Therefore this paper is considered quite urgent becauseat least it can be used as a reference for the management of classy fashion events in the context of art education.

Published: August 2019

In Indonesia, gold is commonly mined from porphyry, epithermal and skarn type deposits that are commonly found in volcanic/magmatic belts. However, were recently numerous gold prospects discovered in association with metamorphic rocks. This paper is intended to describe an alteration and ore mineralogy hosted by metamorphic  rocks at Rumbia mountains, Bombana regency, Southeast Sulawesi province, Indonesia. The study area is found the placer and primary gold hosted by metamorphic rocks. The placer gold is evidently derived from gold-bearing quartz veins hosted by Pompangeo Metamorphic Complex (PMC). This study is conducted in three stages, three stages including desk study, field work and laboratory analysis. Desk study mainly covers literature reviews. Field work includes mapping of surface geology, alteration and ore mineralization as well as sampling of representative rocks types, altered rocks and gold-bearing veins. Laboratory analysis includes the petrologic observation of handspecimen samples, petrographic analysis of the thin section and ore microscopy for polished section, XRD (X-ray diffraction), ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy), ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Mass Spectrometry and FA/AAS (Fire Assay/Atomic Absorbtion Spectophotometry) analysis. The results shows that the alteration characteristics of hydrothermal gold deposits in Mendoke and Rumbia mountain consist of 3 (three) alterations namely sericitic, argillic dan propylitic. Characteristics of mineralization hydrothermal gold deposits in the research area are generally p related to gold-bearing quartz veins/veinlets consist of chalcopyrite, pyrite, chrysocolla, covellite, cinnabar, magnetite, hematite and goetite in rocks categorized into greenschist facies. There are three generations of veins identified including the first is parallel to the foliations, the second crosscut the first generation of veins/foliations, and the third is of laminated deformed quartz+calcite veins at the late stage. The  quartz veins commonly deformed, segmented, massive, laminated,   irregular, brecciated, and occasionally sigmoidal. The veins contain erratic gold in various grades from below detection limit <0.0002 ppm to 18,4000 at found in third generation veins which are laminated quartz±calcite in argillic alteration. ppm. The protoliths of metamorphic rocks in Rumbia Mountain, which comes from sedimentary rocks, spesifically pelitic rocks and graywacke. Based on those characteristics, it obviously indicates that the primary gold deposit present in the study area is of orogenic gold deposits type. The orogenic gold deposit is one of the new targets for exploration in Indonesia.

Published: August 2019

Many contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging are based on gadolinium, however side effects limit their use in some patients. Organic radical contrast agents (ORCAs) are potential alternatives, but are reduced rapidly in physiological conditions and have low relaxivities as single molecule contrast agents. Herein, we use a supramolecular strategy where cucurbit[8]uril binds with nanomolar affinities to ORCAs and protects them against biological reductants to create a stable radical in vivo. We further over came the weak contrast by conjugating this complex on the surface of a self-assembled biomacromolecule derived from the tobacco mosaic virus.

Detection and classification of brain tumor using machine learning approaches
Authors: Pushpa B R  , Flemin Louies
Published: August 2019

This paper proposes a method where a framework is constructed to detect and classify the tumor type. Over a period of years, many researchers have been researched and proposed methods in this space. We have proposed a method that is capable of analyzing the heterogeneous data and classifies tumor type. MRI images have been considered for this project since it gives the clear structure of the brain, without any surgery it scans and gives the structure of the brain this helps in further processing in the detection of the tumor. Human prediction in classifying the tumor from the MRI leads to misclassification. This motivates our project to construct the algorithm to predict the tumor. Machine learning plays a key role in predicting tumor. In this proposed paper, we have constructed a framework for detecting the brain tumor and classifying its type. The approach goes under pre-processing to filter and smooth the image. The segmentation is carried out by using morphological operation followed by masking, which increases the accuracy in the classification step. The multiple feature extraction methods are utilized to extract the feature from the masked image, and for classification, the kernel SVM is used.

Published: August 2019

Clinical presentations of mutations in the IQSEC2 gene on the X-chromosome initially implicated to cause non-syndromic intellectual disability (ID) in males have expanded to include early onset seizures in males as well as in females. The molecular pathogenesis is not well understood, nor the mechanisms driving disease expression in heterozygous females. Using a CRISPR/Cas9–edited Iqsec2 KO mouse model, we confirm the loss of Iqsec2 mRNA expression and lack of Iqsec2 protein within the brain of both founder and progeny mice. Both male (52%) and female (46%) Iqsec2 KO mice present with frequent and recurrent seizures. Focusing on Iqsec2 KO heterozygous female mice, we demonstrate increased hyperactivity, altered anxiety and fear responses, decreased social interactions, delayed learning capacity and decreased memory retention/novel recognition, recapitulating psychiatric issues, autistic-like features, and cognitive deficits present in female patients with loss-of-function IQSEC2 variants. Despite Iqsec2 normally acting to activate Arf6 substrate, we demonstrate that mice modelling the loss of Iqsec2 function present with increased levels of activated Arf6. We contend that loss of Iqsec2 function leads to altered regulation of activated Arf6-mediated responses to synaptic signalling and immature synaptic networks. We highlight the importance of IQSEC2 function for females by reporting a novel nonsense variant c.566C > A, p.(S189*) in an elderly female patient with profound intellectual disability, generalised seizures, and behavioural disturbances. Our human and mouse data reaffirm IQSEC2 as another disease gene with an unexpected X-chromosome heterozygous female phenotype. Our Iqsec2 mouse model recapitulates the phenotypes observed in human patients despite the differences in the IQSEC2/Iqsec2 gene X-chromosome inactivation between the species.

Figurative derivational structure of mono- and polysemantic derivates as the subject of lexicography
Authors: Гуцуляк Т.Є.
Published: August 2019

In the system of figurative means of the Ukrainian language, the derivative lexical units, which were formed on the basis of figurative motivational relations, occupy a significant place. An important role in the recording and preservation of such figurative derivatives in the lexical-semantic system of the Ukrainian language is given to lexicographic works of an interpretive type. Dictionary definitions are important for establishing formal-semantic links of derivative units with their motivational basis and for defining motivational features. However, lexicographic interpretations are not always informative enough, but sometimes too generalized, which complicates the interpretation of figurative content of lexical units. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed work provides an analysis of the problematic issues of the present lexicographic practice of describing the semantic structure of morphological derivatives with a figurativelymetaphorical internal form and outlining the ways of their solution. The subject of the study is the following mono- and polysemantic units of the Ukrainian language, which, according to their structural and semantic features, belong to the derivatives from the subjective adjectives and contain sememes with figurative meaning.

In the article on the example of separate adjectives the attention is focused on the need to take into account the vocabulary definitions of the peculiarities of the motivational traits that influenced the morphological structure and the semantic structure of the derivative word. This will help to provide a holistic understanding of the sign, called figurative derivative, given the possibility of implementing various aspects of the motivational semantics.

Among the problematic issues of lexicographic practice, the formulation of vocabulary definitions for derivatives from the subjective adjectives is considered and the need to consider the ability of the nounmotivator to form not only relative (or possessively relative) adjectives, but also qualitative ones. It is suggested that the value of qualitative sign be fixed as independent lexico-semantic variants (LSV), since they often arise as a result of word-forming processes and testify to other semantic ties with the creators’ base.

Published: August 2019

Considering the significance and actuality of the Chinese syllables: their phonetic sounding and peculiarities of pronunciation, the proposed article will focus on the syllables which are regarded to be a difficult phonetic aspect. The main goal of this article is to become a brief guide of the correct and incorrect spelling for the Chinese syllables “ju”, “qu”, “xu” and “yu”, and to bring clearance into understanding of the necessity to spell the Chinese character correctly, in accordance with the basic phonetic laws. The article provides the rules of correct spelling, frequent spelling mistakes, syllable peculiarities and difficulties in understanding the main point of the statement, while being pronounces incorrectly.

The article will reveal that the background of the issue is hidden in the formation of pinyin, and the consecutive process of its reformation and simplification.

The information and research, provided in the article will be supported by the fundamental pinyin Chart, shown in two parallels: the original Chinese writing and spelling of the syllables, on the one hand and the spelling, offered by the Archimandrite Palladyi for the transcription and transliteration of the Chinese syllables into Cyrillic script, on the other.
Adverb as an obligatory component of the functional-semantic field of temporality
Authors: Грачова А. В.
Published: August 2019

The proposed theoretical study is a complex analysis of specialized concepts, devoted to the problem of qualification of the temporal functional-semantic field, as well as to the determination of specifics of realization of the adverbial part-of-speech component in this language association. The purpose orientation of the author of the work is to carry out a thorough scientifically weighted review of the heterogeneous differential features of such ambiguous linguistic notion as temporality. The more detailed explanation of the compositional and role aspects of figuring is subjected to such universal language institution, as functionally-semantic field of temporality. The particular attention is paid to the deep characterization of the constituent and content amount of the adverbial lexeme group, nominated as an integral figurant of the mentioned field totality.

The result of a thorough analysis of the peculiarity of the functioning of the temporal adverb in the structure of the corresponding linguistic integrity is the ascertaining of several determinant facts, united by the outlined problem. In particular, there is postulated the two-component construction of the temporal functionalsemantic association, constituted by semantic fundamental principle with a clearly defined thematic specialization and by the formal means of actualization of the semantic basis. It is found that in the structure of a hierarchically arranged by the principle of nuclear-peripheral transition monocentric temporal field integrity the central structural positions are occupied by a verbal paradigmatic complex which is the medium of the general deictic time significance. In contrast to this cardinal indicator of temporal relations, lexical concretizers are localized in more distant (peripheral) fragments of the outlined linguistic association, but the underestimation of their functional-semantic status seems completely unfair. The role of lexical markers of time is qualified as “informative expansion”, namely: the detalization of the general time plan expressed by the morphological representatives. The adverbial means of indicating the time parameters of action is nominated as a specific by semantical, grammatical and functional features autonomous part-of-speech figurant of the temporal field. It is emphasized that this abstract by temporal content nuance heterogeneous wordy group is vested with the potency for clarification and tendentious modification of the natural significance of the verb form within a concrete temporal microfield.

The realized work has allowed the author to demonstrate the peculiarity of conceptually diverse authors’ interpretive mechanisms focused on the analysis of the adverbial lexeme category in the functional plane of its figuring, as well as to determine the undoubted perspective of the study of adverbial issues.
Edward Hall ahead of his time: Deep culture, intercultural understanding, and embodied cognition
Authors: Shaules Joseph
Published: August 2019

This article reflects on current conceptualizations of intercultural understanding by reexamining the ideas of pioneer thinkers Marshall McLuhan and Edward Hall. It argues that common notions of intercultural understanding are reminiscent of McLuhan’s ideas-as a form of advanced perception and higher forms of awareness. It will argue, however, that Hall’s view-which emphasizes the importance of unconscious cultural programing and inner change-deserves more attention. Hall’s view is said to concord with insights currently emerging from brain and mind sciences. Examples of ideas that support Hall’s vision of intercultural understanding are discussed, including: 1) the embodied nature of culture, 2) culture and the unconscious mind; 3) the cognitive architecture of bias; 4) empathy and intercultural understanding; and 5) language and embodied simulation. It is argued that Hall’s fundamental insights, combined with these more recent ideas from brain and mind sciences, can act as building blocks for new approaches to intercultural education. Implications for pedagogy are discussed.

Abstract:High casualty figures of innocent citizens in a conflict, proven internal and projected in political thinking and boundaries on neighbouring nations are often higher than insurgent threats, yet when war is inevitable, and armament needed to maintain a political identity, there is a need for a new paradigm, that of Peace Weapons(™). Peace Weapons(™) make conflicts reversible and non-lethal in armament and directed weaponry, in this paper we illustrate the armament with a design of a light pollution map based automated drone bomber, with the replacement of conventional payload with sleep weapons, EMI weapons of Alpha/Beta and Delta/Gamma, deep sleep inducers. We prove that this EMI weapon is reversible in civilian casualty and can be selectively reversed after the conflict is resolved.Keywords: EMI Weapons, Peace Weapons, Reversibility, Non- Lethal Weapons, Peace Movement, Disarmament, Sleep Inducing EMI Weapons.

Kyiv Theological Academy Professors at the Beginning of the 20th Century: At the Intersection of Cultures
Authors: Pastushenko Liudmyla
Published: August 2019

This article attempts to reveal intercultural connections at the Kyiv TheologicalAcademy at the beginning of the 20th century by reconstructing the spiritual biographies of two theological academy professors: Archimandrite (later, Archbishopof Berlin and Germany) Tykhon (Tymofii Liashchenko) and Petro Kudriavtsev. The article demonstrates how different cultural traditions intersected and combined inthe spiritual experience of these figures. The author of the article argues that, as a result of revolutionary events in 1917–1919, both Kyiv Theological Academy professors experienced transformations in personal cultural identity, and their spiritual biographies reveal a transition from Russian to Western European and a combination of both (Tykhon (Liashchenko) identities), and from Russian to Ukrainian ideological cultural orientation (Petro Kudriavtsev).

Simulation of the Austenitization of Ferrite-Carbide Microstructures by means of the Cellular-Automaton Method (CA)∗
Authors: Kaiser D. , Charlet-Berguerand H. , Dietrich S. , Schulze V.

To achieve maximum hardness and to avoid retained austenite during surface hardening processes, homogeneous austenitization is desired. The necessary temperature to achieve this depends on the heating conditions and the initial microstructure. Its measurement is generally tedious and no distinct models are available to model the process.

Therefore, a simulation model of the austenitization process based on a 2-D cellular automaton was developed and analyzed. The model predicts the austenitization kinetics as well as the homogenization temperature for a given microstructure and heating process. The model is able to predict the characteristic dependencies that are known from the experiments at least in a qualitative way.
Influence of Pressure on Vacuum Oil Quenching∗
Authors: Troell E. , Olofsson A. , Sevim S.
Published: August 2019

In low pressure furnaces with oil quenching it is possible to vary the pressure above the quench tank. By regulating the pressure above the tank the pressure inside the bath will be influenced which can affect the cooling characteristics of the oil compared to atmospheric pressure. It has been reported that the length of the vapour phase as well as the boiling phase will be influenced, thus also influencing the distortions [1–3]. An increased pressure in the oil results in a shorter vapour phase. Depending on component geometry and fixturing of the parts during quenching, the presence and behavior of the vapour film will affect distortions of the parts. The possibility to adjust the pressure above the oil bath during quenching introduces a new parameter for adjustment and control of the cooling process.

In order to investigate this phenomenon experiments were conducted in a low pressure furnace with an integrated oil bath. The pressure above the bath could be set between 0.4–1.4 bar (absolute pressure). The following were investigated:

Cooling curves measured with thermocouples in Inconel probes and gear wheels

Distortion of gear wheels after low pressure carburizing

The cooling curves showed no significant difference in cooling characteristics for the investigated pressures above the quench tank. This is contradictory to reported results. One reason can be the influence of agitation as well as type of oil. The influence of agitation on the oil was studied. Depending on analyzed distortion parameter a small impact of the pressure above the oil tank could be noted. The trend was less distortions with a higher pressure in the quench bath. However, when it comes to differences in cooling characteristics between different positions of the gears in the load, there were great variations.
Getting to Know your Own Induction Furnace: Basic Principles to Guarantee Meaningful Simulations∗
Authors: Mevec D. , Raninger P. , Prevedel P. , Jászfi V. , Antretter T.
Published: August 2019

This paper deals with a methodology for a characterisation of inductive heat treatment plants to allow comparison of their practical electromagnetic behaviour with conventional simplifying assumptions used in simulations of the heating process. The impact non-sinusoidal currents and non-linear B-H curves on the simulation are specifically dealt with here. A Rogowski coil and digital oscilloscope are used to read in current signals in various induction plants and compare their total harmonic distortion (THD). In the course of parameter studies, the different current signals were used in simulations of induction to compare heating effects. This yielded positive correlations with the THDs.
A philosopher nobleman among his adversaries. From the materials towards a biography of F. Dmitriev-Mamonov
Authors: Osokin M. Y.
Published: August 2019

The article is an excerpt from the biography of the Russian writer, historian and collector of curiosities F. Dmitriev-Mamonov, to be published by B.S.G.-Press. The fragment considers three hitherto undisclosed episodes of his life: the 1770 criminal investigation of Mamonov’s attempted poisoning by the writer and former lecturer of the Land Gentry Cadet Corps Johann Fonberg, who had worked as his personal librarian for two months; followed by problems with his mental health in the 1780s, when he began suspecting that his closest family were plotting to kill him and began to subject his serfs to harsh punishments; and, finally, his donations to Moscow University in May 1770, in February 1772 and, probably, in November 1779, which consisted of a collection of medals, copies of P. Lippert’s engraved gems, and the portrait of field marshal P. Saltykov. All three instances appear connected: the donations coincide with three major incidents in Mamonov’s life (the attempted poisoning, a bad wound sustained in Chudov monastery during the suppression of the Plague revolt, and official proceedings against him for cruel treatment of serfs), which forced him to contemplate his mortality and the need to plan for the future of his collection.
Arden of Faversham. Translator’s notebook
Authors: Korchevsky A. A.
Published: August 2019

The author explores different aspects of his work on the Russian translation of Arden of Faversham, a famous play from Tudor period, first published in 1592, and written, and staged apparently several years earlier. Andrey Korchevsky argues why this textbook piece was never translated into Russian language and suggests that the anonymity of the author could play a role in its exclusion from consideration by the Soviet translation school. The context of authorship, in general, seems to be very relevant for the translation process, especially with Shakespeare being named as a ‘suspect’ for participation in the playwriting of Arden (as evinced by the works of McDonald Jackson and Marina Tarlinskaya). Korchevsky illustrates some Shakespearean allusions in Arden of Faversham, including some references to Macbeth and Two Gentlemen of Verona. Some other aspects of the translation process are discussed, including the difficulties in translating contemporary jokes, specifics of Russian pronunciation of the ‘Faversham’ toponym, and unexpected, but pronounced, feminism message of the play.
A. V. Golubkov. Préciosité and the gallant tradition in French salon literature of the 17th c. A monograph
Authors: Kashlyavik K. Y.
Published: August 2019

The monograph deals with a subject that is rarely covered by Russian philologists: préciosité and the gallant tradition of 17th c. French culture. The author singles out the French and Russian approaches to interpreting preciousness, noting their differences and the fact that Russian scholars are lagging behind the French on the subject of salon literature. A. V. Golubkov rejects the principle of ‘neutrality’ towards the subject of the study, which is evident from his context-based use of psychoanalytical tools, including the term ‘frigidity’ to describe the social genesis of the gallant tradition and the habitus of préciosité. In his examination of the sources of these French cultural phenomena (‘academy’, ‘préciosité’, ‘gallantry’, and ‘salon’) the author shows their association with types of creative activity, Baroque and Classicism, and oral and written practices of salon culture, and portrays linguistic and genre-specific experiments of the précieuses. He stresses their preference of the salon literary genres over rhetorical skills, identifies elements of dialogue-based poetics, and reveals the principal indicators of a new language art.
