An Unusual Case of Foreign Body Aspiration in 6-year-old Boy
Authors: Ilchenko Svitlana , Fialkovska Anastasiia , Shchudro Serhii
Published: March 2021

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common cause of mortality and morbidity in children. FBA is not always immediately diagnosed, partly because this diagnosis is not frequently in mind, but also because FBA does not have a specific clinical manifestation. FBA can be misdiagnosed as asthma, upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, or croup. Sometimes, FBA can be completely asymptomatic. We present the case with a delay in diagnosing FBA and discuss the appropriate management of suspected foreign body aspiration in a 6-year-old boy. This case illustrates the need for prompt action and a high level of suspicion in patients with prolonged symptoms and no resolution with standard treatment. Diagnosis should always be based on a combination of data obtained from the clinical history, physical examination, and radiographic findings. However, the normal appearance of a chest X-ray does not exclude the possibility of FBA.
An evaluation of the data space dimension in phase retrieval: results in Fresnel zone
Authors: Pierri Rocco , Moretta Raffaele
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we address the problem of computing the dimension of data space in phase retrieval problem. Starting from the quadratic formulation of the phase retrieval, the analysis is performed in two steps. First, we exploit the lifting technique to obtain a linear representation of the data. Later, we evaluate the dimension of data space by computing analytically the number of relevant singular values of the linear operator that represents the data. The study is done with reference to a 2D scalar geometry consisting of an electric current strip whose square amplitude of the electric radiated field is observed on a two-dimensional extended domain in Fresnel zone.
High-rate altimetry in SNR-based GNSS-R: Proof-of-concept of a synthetic vertical array
Authors: Yamawaki Mauricio Kenji , Geremia-Nievinski Felipe , Monico João Francisco
Published: March 2021

Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry
(GNSS-R) has emerged as a promising remote sensing technique for coastal sea
level monitoring. The GNSS-R based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) observations
employs a single antenna and a conventional receiver. It performs best for low
elevation satellites, where direct and reflected radio waves are very similar
in polarization and direction of arrival. One of the disadvantages of SNR-based
GNSS-R for sea level altimetry is its low temporal resolution, which is of the
order of one hour for each independent satellite pass. Here we present a
proof-of-concept based on a synthetic vertical array. It exploits the mechanical
movement of a single antenna at high rate (about 1 Hz). SNR observations can then
be fit to a known modulation, of the order of the antenna sweeping rate. We
demonstrate that centimetric altimetry precision can be achieved in a 5-minute
session. [©2021 IEEE]

Emulating Full Load Testing of Air-cooled Nanocrystalline IHT at Zero Power
Authors: Paul Arun
Published: March 2021

High-power high-frequency air-cooled induction heating transformers,
mostly used as current multiplier and isolation purposes, are custom designed. For
their reliable performance and long life, the thermal evaluation at rated load
is necessary. Creating an equivalent load as test facility for reliability
testing of such type of transformer is difficult. Characteristics of such loads
drastically change after Curie temperature. Moreover, prolonged heating could
increase the nearby ambient temperature and, more importantly, the traditional heat
run test wastes large amount of energy. Whenever the coil is energized, windings
of transformer draw respective rated current; even at no load condition the copper
loss is at rated value. While both windings drawing rated current at desired
frequency, using the concept of localized eddy current loss as well as excess eddy
current loss, this article proposes a novel method to inject requisite core
loss to the magnetic circuit to emulate the characteristics of full load condition
but the power drawn from the transformer would be zero. The proposed idea would
be validated where only 200 W resonant inverter would be used to inject power
loss equivalent to full-load condition of 30 kW transformer to emulate the heat
run test.

In this regard, the intention of this contribution is, on the one hand, to observe the dynamics related to social integration of these young people and to understand how they navigate their multiple identities, and, on the other hand, to provide guidance for future research as well as useful tools to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for them to live in. Following a review of the literature, this article analyzes research results regarding data collected from 198 young people and 21 teachers, and concludes with insights into the identity and social integration problems confronting Chinese youth in the region.
Flipped classroom, como herramienta educomunicacional. Un enfoque ante la globalización
Authors: Gutiérrez Gutiérrez Benjamín , Sánchez Lara Jabneel Alejandra
Published: March 2021

Las herramientas educativas junto con los medios de comunicación cada vez educan diversificadamente al receptor estudiantil a nivel mundial y de todos los niveles educativos, por lo que, la educación como eje articulador de generación de mensajes debe estar orientada a la acción, así como de las corrientes semióticas del estructuralismo formal y de los movimientos constructivistas que abogan por metodologías más abiertas y centradas en el alumno.

 

La problemática del presente escrito radica en el desfase generacional entre docente-educando, educando – contenidos educativos, así como de las diferentes capacidades humanas de superar entre la concepción de lo académico y no académico. Del mismo modo, los modelos educativos en los que prevalece un proceso unidireccional de la educación, no cubren las necesidades de una sociedad globalizada que exige el uso de inserción educativa del entorno mediático y sociocultural. En ese sentido, plataformas como Flipped Clasroom, al ser herramientas basadas en comunicación permiten proponer en aula nuevas perspectivas educativas con:  TICs  y TEP a nivel universitario a partir de entornos personales de aprendizaje, con el fin de desarrollar estrategias de enseñanza-aprendizaje a nivel universitario que cumplan con los requisitos impuestos por el constante movimiento, resultado de la globalización y desarrollen  así entre otras habilidades, la  habilidad oral del inglés. Actualmente la BUAP tiene como objetivo aportar una mejora de la comunidad estudiantil fomentando el intercambio o movilidad estudiantil en diferentes niveles, siendo la internacionalización junto con el inglés aportan una oportunidad para que distintas instituciones se integren a la aldea global.

Published: March 2021

Se realizó un estudio cuyo objetivo fue determinar los niveles de la percepción de riesgo frente a la nueva enfermedad Covid-19 que presentó una muestra de 296 adolescentes escolarizados de la ciudad de Pasto – Colombia, el muestreo fue no probabilístico de tipo incidental. Se aplicaron de manera virtual dos instrumentos, que fueron un cuestionario socio económico y la escala: Percepción de Riesgo Frente al Covid-19 (PRFC), los cuales se sometieron a análisis estadísticos de tipo descriptivo- correlacional.

Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de participantes (70%) presentan una percepción de riesgo alta y media frente a la enfermedad y sus consecuencias, destacándose el temor a la muerte de un familiar o a enfermar gravemente, también se identificó que los encuestados presentan una baja percepción de riesgo para los componentes relacionados con la probabilidad de contagiarse en situaciones de alta transmisión viral, por lo que no adoptan de manera adecuada las medidas de autocuidado y aislamiento social. Por lo anterior, se concluye que existe una tendencia a percibir el Covid-19 como una enfermedad que pone en riesgo la vida propia y de los demás, sin embargo, se presentan dificultades   relacionadas   con el desarrollo de hábitos que reduzcan la probabilidad de contagio del virus SARS-Cov-2, causante de la enfermedad ya mencionada.

ВПЛИВ МАКРОЕКОНОМІЧНИХ ЧИННИКІВ НА ФОРМУВАННЯ ТА ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ПРИБУТКУ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ
Authors: Власюк Н. І.
Published: March 2021

У системі економічних показників фінансові результати, у яких відображені різні сторони ви-робничої, збутової, постачальницької і фінансової діяльності підприємства, посідають чільне місце. Сучасна практика засвідчує гостру необхідність досліджень формування та використання прибутку, підтвердженням чого є хронічна нестача коштів практично в усіх секторах фінансової системи України та незадовільний фі-нансовий стан значної частини суб’єктів господарювання. У зв’язку з цим гострою потребою стало всебічне і детальне вивчення прибутку, який займає центральне місце в загальній системі вартісних інструментів і ва-желів управління економікою. Це виражається в тому, що фінанси, кредит, ціни, собівартість та інші важелі прямо чи опосередковано пов’язані з прибутком. У статті обґрунтовано теоретико-методичні підходи сто-совно ролі держави та системи макроекономічних чинників впливу на фінансові результати діяльності суб’єктів господарювання. Проведено аналіз фінансових результатів (прибутку та рентабельності) підпри-ємств України за 2014-2018 рр. Висвітлено завдання комплексу першочергових інституційних перетворень, які сприятимуть у майбутньому зростанню прибутковості підприємств та посиленню активності держави у формуванні економічних і правових умов діяльності суб’єктів господарювання України. Проведені дослідження переконують у тому, що позитивний вплив макроекономічних (зовнішніх) факторів справляє вкрай важливий вплив на формування фінансових результатів діяльності підприємств. Зроблено висновок, що завдання держа-ви – максимізувати резерви підвищення прибутковості суб’єктів господарювання у царині державної фінансо-вої політики.
СОЦІАЛЬНЕ ПАРТНЕРСТВО ЯК ДІЄВА СИСТЕМА РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ СОЦІАЛЬНО-ТРУДОВИХ ВІДНОСИН ТОРГОВЕЛЬНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ
Authors: Фединець Н. І. , Білозор Н. Б.
Published: March 2021

У статті досліджуються актуальні питання, пов’язані з регулюванням соціально-трудових відносин на основі соціального партнерства. Метою статті є дефініція соціального партнерства в контексті соціально-трудових відносин, визначення основного інструментарію соціального партнерства як засобу запо-бігання подальшій конфронтації учасників соціальних відносин, аналіз нормативно-правового забезпечення врегулювання соціально-трудових відносин, з’ясування проблем застосування соціального партнерства у гос-подарюючих суб’єктів у сфері торгівлі. Підтвердженням актуальності цього питання є значний інтерес зі сторони наукової спільноти. У ході дослідження встановлено, що соціальне партнерство є універсальним за-собом, пов’язаним із налагодженням відносин між учасниками взаємодії. Виявлено, що на вітчизняних торго-вельних підприємствах регулювання соціально-трудових відносин здійснюється переважно на адміністратив-ній основі через систему управлінських рішень і методів управління. Використання адміністративних методів та авторитарного стилю керівництва процесами в торговельних мережах часто призводить до незадоволе-ності персоналу та зростання рівня конфліктності в колективі. Аргументовано, що договірна основа регулю-вання соціально-трудових питань сучасних торговельних підприємств повинна мати певне нормативно-правове підґрунтя, та визначено його зміст. З’ясовано, що існує ряд проблем у використанні соціального парт-нерства як методу регулювання соціально-трудових відносин на торговельному підприємстві. Визначено структурно-логічну схему соціального партнерства як методу регулювання соціально-трудових відносин на підприємстві. Зроблено висновок, що у врегулюванні соціально-трудових відносин на торговельному під приємстві необхідно в першу чергу акцентуватися на укладенні колективного договору. Подальші дослідження можуть бути спрямовані на формування ефективного механізму вирішення проблем, що перешкоджають використанню соціального партнерства для регулювання соціально-трудових відносин.
ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЙНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗВИТКУ ВНУТРІШНЬОГО РИНКУ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Свидрук І. І. , Клепанчук О. Ю.
Published: March 2021

Статтю присвячено виявленню та узагальненню передумов інституційного регулювання роз-витку внутрішнього ринку України в умовах глобалізації. Проаналізовано соціально-економічні дисбаланси, що призвели до погіршення платоспроможного попиту, бюджетного дефіциту і банківської кризи в Україні. Встановлено, що процеси інтеграції та глобалізації видозмінюють характер економічних відносин, масшта-буючи основні ринкові механізми, базовані на поділі праці на площину світового ринку, в якому діють не тільки економічні, але й соціальні, політичні важелі, ще більше поглиблюючи процеси поділу праці в нових формах їх сучасного прояву, таких як спеціалізація, концентрація, кооперація. Виявлено, що інкорпорування фундамен-тальних правил СОТ дозволило розширити внутрішній ринок України. Недостатню ефективність інститу-ційних факторів впливу на якість функціонування внутрішнього ринку підтверджено слабкими позиціями України у міжнародних рейтингах. Проаналізовано трансформацію інституційних засад соціального забезпе-чення, спрямованих на подолання бідності і зростання рівня доходів населення, визначено їх позитивний вплив на покращення системи соціальної безпеки. Висвітлено інституційні програми реформування, розроблені за сприяння Світового банку і МВФ. Показано, що найбільший позитивний вплив на розвиток внутрішнього ринку здійснили: відмова від валютного регулювання, податкова консолідація, вдосконалення управління державними інвестиціями, персоналізація соціальної підтримки, спрощення умов ведення бізнесу, запровадження податко-вих методів антикризового регулювання. Зроблено висновок, що інституційні фактори впливу на ефективність функціонування внутрішнього ринку використовуються недостатньо ефективно. Подальші дослідження за-пропоновано скерувати на детальний аналіз інституційних інструментів активізації функціонування внутрішнього ринку України.

Exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical learner wellness: a needs assessment for the development of learner wellness interventions
Authors: Cherak Stephana , Brown Allison , Kachra Rahim , Makuk Kira , Sudershan Sanjana , Paget Mike , Kassam Aliya
Published: March 2021

Background: On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) a global pandemic. We sought to understand impact of COVID-19 on learner wellness at a large tertiary care academic institution to inform the future development of learner wellness interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A cross-sectional, internet-based survey collected quantitative and qualitative data from learners April-June 2020. Descriptive statistics and univariate analyses were reported for quantitative data. Open-ended, qualitative responses were analyzed deductively using thematic analysis.

Results: Twenty percent of enrolled learners in that faculty of medicine (540/2741) participated including undergraduate [Bachelor’s] students (25.7%), graduate [science] students (27.5%), undergraduate medical students (22.8%), and postgraduate resident physicians (23.5%). We found that learner wellness across all stages of training was negatively impacted and the ways in which learners were impacted varied as a result of their program's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions: Learners in health sciences and medical education report worsening well-being because of the programs and the systems in which they function with the added burden of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future interventions would benefit from a holistic framework of learner wellness while engaging in systems thinking to understand how individuals, programs and respective systems intersect. The importance of acknowledging equity, diversity and inclusion, fostering psychological safety and engaging learners as active participants in their journey during a pandemic and beyond are key elements in developing wellness interventions.
Physiotherapist-led musculoskeletal education: an innovative approach to teach medical students musculoskeletal assessment techniques
Authors: Boulila Cyril , Girouard-Chantal Élise , Gendron Christophe , Lassman Matthew , Dubé Timothy
Published: March 2021

Implication Statement

We developed physiotherapist-led interprofessional (IP) workshops for medical students each dedicated to a specific anatomical region. The workshops alternated between theoretical presentations from a physiotherapist about basic musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment techniques and hands-on practice in small groups with feedback from Master’s-level physiotherapy students (MPT). The workshops created an optimal IP learning environment where medical students can learn MSK assessment techniques and MPTs can apply their knowledge and clinical skills. Academic institutions with physiotherapy and medical programs seeking to develop IP learning activities should foster opportunities for IP collaboration between physiotherapy and undergraduate medical education.
Ahmed Indigenization of English Language in Ahmed Ali’s Twilight in Delhi
Authors: Muhammad Shakeel Ur Rehman  , Dr. Ihsan Ullah Khan  , Dr. Abdul Karim Khan
Published: March 2021

The study employed the theoretical approach of indigenization by Kachru in Ahmed Ali’s Twilight in Delhi. Indigenization is one of the fundamental components of decolonization adopted by post-colonial linguists to familiarize a local language in a race against the dominant language of colonizers (Kilickaya, 2009). Through this tool of indigenization, post-colonial writers and more specifically, Ahmed Ali represented the native culture, flora, and fauna of the sub-continent in the selected work to bring about a reconciliatory approach between the languages of the colonizer (English) with the language of inhabitants of the sub-content (Urdu). Therefore, the novelist indigenized the English language by weaving and embedding indigenous figures of speech, local terminologies, idioms, proverbs, and translation of compacted concepts of English and Urdu languages into each other in an endeavor to combat with the western thought. Hence, the article delves into the novel to unfold the multicultural reconciliatory approach that is possible only at the time when the voices of the indigenous language and culture are accommodated by the dominant language and culture of the colonizers. Arguably, the portrayal of reconciliation of the two languages and cultures in the sub-continent during the rule of the British in the novel may introduce a more pluralistic approach to survive in the modern world of globalization. The findings may help reach a better understanding between an indigenous language and an international language in the same culture in which local culture and language get equal manifestation.
Implications of Dialogic Teaching: Practices of and Reflections from English Language Teachers
Authors: Dr. Liaqat Iqbal  , Sahibzada Aurangzeb  , Farooq Shah
Published: March 2021

Researches often endorse discussion, dialogues, and other learning tasks for the promotion of fluency, critical thinking, reasoning, and ability to evaluate and justifying. Keeping in view the Pakistani context, especially, the local context, it is not clear what type of classroom practices prevail in the region and what reflections teachers have about the use of such practices. Taking Bakhtin's and Vygotsky's ideas of dialogism and learning as a social entity, the present study aimed at knowing the teaching practices of English language teachers from the perspective of dialogic teaching and also at exploring how do teachers reflect on such a teaching approach. For this purpose, English Language Centers of district Mardan were taken as data sources where twenty classrooms were observed for classroom practices and the concerned teachers were interviewed for their reflections. It was found that the teachers use of dialogic teaching having positive and negative impacts. The positive impacts of dialogic teaching include creativity, thinking ability, confidence building, and other social impacts. It has little negative impacts that include challenges for the teachers in terms of behavior problems and control of talks.
The advantages and disadvantages of the NEHRP soil classification
Authors: Aleshin Alexander S.
Published: March 2021

The influence of local ground conditions on the parameters of seismic vibrations is the subject of study in seismic microzonation. This section of engineering seismology underwent radical changes at the end of the last century. The Commission on Seismic Safety of the National Institute of Building Sciences of the United States, as part of the implementation of the National Earthquake Damage Reduction Program, developed new NEHRP Recommendations, which are significantly different from all that has been used in the world practice of anti-seismic construction. The main provisions of this NEHRP classification have been adopted in many national building codes, including Eurocode 8 and Kazakhstan's seismic regulations. One of the essential features of the classification is the use of the average values of the velocities of transverse waves and the densities of the ground thickness with a thickness of 30 meters. In Russia, the provisions of the NEHRP norms have not yet been properly developed. Currently, the issue of extending the norms of Kazakhstan to the entire territory of the CIS countries is being considered. For this reason, the article examines in detail both the advantages and disadvantages of the NEHRP Recommendations in order to extract useful experience and adapt to the realities of Russian anti-seismic construction. In particular, the error in the representation of the parameters of the soil mass by average values is shown. The ways of overcoming the identified shortcomings of the description of the soil mass with the help of model representations are outlined
On the question of setting the level of calculated impact and reliability of high-rise construction
Authors: Zhemchugov-Gitman Dmitry M. , Mozzhukhina Lyubov V. , Uzdin Alexander M.
Published: March 2021

The question of setting the seismic design input

on high rise buildings is considered. The existing approaches to accounting for

increased responsibility of high rise buildings in Russia are described. The

proposal to reduce the probability of an acceptable building failure in

proportion to the number of floors and Guideline proposals to increase the

reliability factor and using maps of general seismic zoning are analyzed. The

main disadvantages of methods described are indicated. It is shown that the current

regulatory documents in the field of earthquake engineering do not provide the

same reliability of designed structures in general and high-rise buildings in

particular. The influence of seismic dangers in according with seismic zoning

maps on the reliability of the designed objects is noted. An approach to

generating the design input based on the permissible probability of its

exceeding is considered using the example of five five-storey buildings and one

25-storey buildings. The probability of the admissible damage value included in

the normative calculations is estimated. An estimate of the allowable failure

probability on the value of acceptable damage (risk) is proposed under the

assumption of a normal distribution of damage caused by earthquake. It is shown

that the allowable failure probability decreases with decreasing acceptable

damage only in the area of small damages. An approach to the assignment of

seismic action based on an assessment of seismic risk has been formulated. The

system of design coefficients used to calculate seismic loads on high-rise

buildings is analyzed. It is noted that along with an increase in the design

level of seismic acceleration, it is necessary to increase the coefficient,

taking into account the low damping of high-rise buildings oscillations. At the

same time, it is possible to significantly reduce the reduction coefficient by

regulating the strains between the building floors.
Purchase, Power and Persuasion
Authors: Jason Gary James
Published: March 2021

In Purchase, Power and Persuasion: Essays on Political Philosophy, Gary James Jason brings together his articles on political and economic philosopher between 2004 and 2018. These articles touch on issues surrounding two contrasting political systems: a complete totalitarian system�the paradigm case of which was Nazi Germany�versus a classical liberal system.

In Part One of the anthology, the essay topics include the breadth of the Nazi Regime�s propaganda machine, and as well as the nature and ethics of propaganda. In Part Two, the essay topics include the nature and variety of genocides, as well as how the Nazi Regime bought the support of the German citizens, and whether National Socialism was indeed a form of socialism.

An Overlooked Lens: Applying Structuration Theory, Actor-Network Theory, and Theories of Space to Service-Learning
Authors: Follman Joe
Published: March 2021

Although service-learning is clearly a social phenomenon involving interactions between people in social environments, little scholarly attention has been given to the ways in which sociological theories illuminate how service-learning is enacted and sustained in schools. This conceptual article takes a fresh (and perhaps overdue) look at academic service-learning (both K-12 and higher education) through three sociological lenses: Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory, Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory, and Henri Lefebvre’s theories on the production of space. The article describes each theory as it relates to the understanding, initiation, implementation, institutionalization, and study of service-learning. The theories highlight important aspects of academic service-learning, including areas that other theories have missed such as how service-learning actors must exploit enabling aspects of school structures and spaces to overcome constraints, the importance of non-human agents in service-learning programs, and challenges service-learning advocates face in reconfiguring school spaces for service-learning. The author also describes and examines limits of each theory as well as mplications for research and practice.
The Narrative Approach in Service-Learning Methodology: A Case Study
Authors: Selmo Laura
Published: March 2021

The U.S. National and Community Service Act (1990) defines service-learning as “a methodology that extends classroom learning into real-life situations through participation in service experiences organized by collaborating schools and communities.” Reflection represents a very important phase in this methodology; indeed, students build the meaning of their experiences through reflection. For this reason, teachers, instructors, and professors need effective methods for improving student reflection. Can the narrative approach help students to reflect on service experiences? This article presents part of a research project on how the use of the narrative approach in the reflection phase of servicelearning can improve critical thinking in students. In particular, it describes a case study of the Freshmen Honors Symposium and service-learning experience at a U.S. university and presents a qualitative analysis of 40 student narratives.

Authors: Blakey Joan M. , Theriot Shirley , Cazzell Mary , Sattler Melanie
Published: March 2021

Service-learning benefits students, communities, institutions of higher learning, and faculty. Most studies have focused on the impact of service-learning on students; however, there is a dearth of mixed-methods research examining faculty use of service-learning. Using a two-phase, exploratory, mixed-methods design, the purpose of this study was to understand the factors that influenced 24 faculty fellows’ engagement with service-learning. The qualitative component examined four faculty’s in-depth experiences with service-learning to understand the meaning they assigned to those experiences and to identify key themes that affected engagement. The quantitative phase of the study explored the extent to which 20 additional faculty fellows’ service-learning experiences matched those of the four faculty fellows involved in the qualitative phase. Rigorous qualitative analysis revealed five themes: educational transformation for faculty and students, personal transformation for faculty and students, emotional investment, tenure concerns, and time commitments. Descriptive statistical analyses revealed that 90% of respondents agreed that implementing service-learning made them better and more meaningful teachers and challengers of traditional modes of education, and caused them to evaluate what it meant to be a good teacher. Eighty-five percent of faculty agreed that service-learning provides students with “real world”

application and that they were learning alongside students. There were some differences among faculty

with regard to emotional investment, tenure concerns, and time commitment. Service-learning is one of the most valuable tools faculty can use to create an active, engaged learning environment. Overall, faculty believed that service-learning was worth the effort.
Enhancing Human Mobility Exoskeleton Comfort Using Admittance Controller
Authors: Rabaseda Alexandre , Seguin Emelie , Doumit Marc
Published: March 2021

Human mobility exoskeletons have been in development for several years and are becoming increasingly efficient. Unfortunately, user comfort was not always a priority design criterion throughout their development. To further improve this technology, exoskeletons should operate and deliver assistance without causing discomfort to the user. For this, improvements are necessary from an ergonomic point of view. The device’s control method is important when endeavoring to enhance user comfort. Exoskeleton or rehabilitation device controllers use methods of control called interaction controls (admittance and impedance controls). This paper proposes an extended version of an admittance controller to enhance user comfort. The control method used consists of adding an inner loop that is controlled by a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. This allows the interaction force to be kept as close as possible to the desired force trajectory. The force-tracking admittance controller modifies the actuation force of the system in order to follow both the desired motion trajectory and the desired relative force between the user and the exoskeleton.
PRAGMATIC TRANSPOSITIONS OF INTERROGATIVE STATEMENTS IN EVERYDAY COMMUNICATION
Authors: Нестерова Т.В.
Published: March 2021

В статье описаны контекстуально-ситуативные косвенные речевые акты, имеющие форму вопроса, но реализующие другие коммуникативные интенции – сообщение, согласие, побуждение, выражение эмоций. Речь идет о высказываниях с одинаковым синтаксическим строением и лексическим составом (омонимия высказываний разных коммуникативных типов), в которых наиболее ярко проявляются различительные свойства интонации. Механизмом порождения этих речевых актов является прагматическая транспозиция.

The article describes contextual-situational indirect speech acts in the form of a question, but realizing other communicative intentions – message, consent, motivation, expression of emotions. We are talking about statements with the same syntactic structure and lexical composition (homonymy of statements of different communicative types), in which the distinctive properties of intonation are most clearly manifested. The mechanism for generating these speech acts is pragmatic transposition. The materials of the article can be used both for further theoretical studies of transposed speech acts (including in a comparative aspect), and for the creation of communicatively oriented textbooks on Russian as a foreign language.

Published: March 2021

Kraits of the genus Bungarus Daudin 1803 are widely known venomous snakes distributed from Iran to China and Indonesia. Here, we use a combination of mitochondrial DNA sequence data and morphological data to describe a new species from Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China: Bungarus suzhenaesp. nov. Phylogenetically, this species forms a monophyletic lineage sister to the Bungarus candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex based on cyt b and ND4 genes but forms a sister species pair with the species B. magnimaculatus Wall & Evans, 1901 based on COI gene fragments. Morphologically, B. suzhenaesp. nov. is similar to the B. candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex but differs from these taxa by a combination of dental morphology, squamation, coloration pattern, as well as hemipenial morphology. A detailed description of the cranial osteology of the new species is given based on micro-CT tomography images. We revised the morphological characters of B. candidus/multicinctus/wanghaotingi complex and verified the validity of three species in this complex. The distribution of these species was revised; the records of B. candidus in China should be attributed to B. wanghaotingi. We also provide an updated key to species of Bungarus.
