Published: December 2020

Sea urchin gonads are a delicious seafood item of high commercial value. Our past studies have revealed that the gonads of the sea urchin Mesocentrotus nudus fed the basal frond portion of fresh Saccharina kelp (BS) or the sporophylls of fresh Undaria (SU) during May–July are of high-quality. The present study investigated the flavor and taste of BS and SU gonads in comparison with those from non-fed M. nudus (NF) using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography (GC)-sniffing techniques, and a taste-sensing system. Data of the estimated intensity of taste (EIT) were compared with assessment of gonads from M. nudus collected from an Eisenia bed (fishing ground) and a barren in July. Gonads from both BS and SU released pleasant green, sour, and fruity aromas characteristic of butyl acetate, which are here recognized essential flavor components of high-quality gonads. The gonads of BS and SU had a strong umami taste compared to those of NF, and the Eisenia bed and the barren. The most marketable M. nudus gonads were assessed to be those with green and fruity aromas from butyl acetate, sweet aroma from benzaldehyde, umami EIT > 13.8, bitterness EIT < 3.1, and without any unpleasant sulfurous odor from sulfur-containing compounds.

Published: December 2020

We propose an unobtrusive, wearable, and wireless system for the pre-screening and follow-up in the domestic environment of specific sleep-related breathing disorders. This group of diseases manifests with episodes of apnea and hypopnea of central or obstructive origin, and it can be disabling, with several drawbacks that interfere in the daily patient life. The gold standard for their diagnosis and grading is polysomnography, which is a time-consuming, scarcely available test with many wired electrodes disseminated on the body, requiring hospitalization and long waiting times. It is limited by the night-by-night variability of sleep disorders, while inevitably causing sleep alteration and fragmentation itself. For these reasons, only a small percentage of patients achieve a definitive diagnosis and are followed-up. Our device integrates photoplethysmography, an accelerometer, a microcontroller, and a bluetooth transmission unit. It acquires data during the whole night and transmits to a PC for off-line processing. It is positioned on the nasal septum and detects apnea episodes using the modulation of the photoplethysmography signal during the breath. In those time intervals where the photoplethysmography is detecting an apnea, the accelerometer discriminates obstructive from central type thanks to its excellent sensitivity to thoraco-abdominal movements. Tests were performed on a hospitalized patient wearing our integrated system and the type III home sleep apnea testing recommended by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Results are encouraging: sensitivity and precision around 90% were achieved in detecting more than 500 apnea episodes. Least thoraco-abdominal movements and body position were successfully classified in lying down control subjects, paving the way toward apnea type classification.
A Novel Path Planning Algorithm for Truck Platooning Using V2V Communication
Authors: Lee Yongki , Ahn Taewon , Lee Chanhwa , Kim Sangjun , Park Kihong
Published: December 2020

In truck platooning, the leading vehicle is driven manually, and the following vehicles run by autonomous driving, with the short inter-vehicle distance between trucks. To successfully perform platooning in various situations, each truck must maintain dynamic stability, and furthermore, the whole system must maintain string stability. Due to the short front-view range, however, the following vehicles’ path planning capabilities become significantly impaired. In addition, in platooning with articulated cargo trucks, the off-tracking phenomenon occurring on a curved road makes it hard for the following vehicle to track the trajectory of the preceding truck. In addition, without knowledge of the global coordinate system, it is difficult to correlate the local coordinate systems that each truck relies on for sensing environment and dynamic signals. In this paper, in order to solve these problems, a path planning algorithm for platooning of articulated cargo trucks has been developed. Using the Kalman filter, V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) communication, and a novel update-and-conversion method, each following vehicle can accurately compute the trajectory of the leading vehicle’s front part for using it as a target path. The path planning algorithm of this paper was validated by simulations on severe driving scenarios and by tests on an actual road. The results demonstrated that the algorithm could provide lateral string stability and robustness for truck platooning.
Towards Fast Plume Source Estimation with a Mobile Robot
Authors: Magalhães Hugo , Baptista Rui , Macedo João , Marques Lino
Published: December 2020

The estimation of the parameters of an odour source is of high relevance for multiple applications, but it can be a slow and error prone process. This work proposes a fast particle filter-based method for source term estimation with a mobile robot. Two strategies are implemented in order to reduce the computational cost of the filter and increase its accuracy: firstly, the sampling process is adapted by the mobile robot in order to optimise the quality of the data provided to the estimation process; secondly, the filter is initialised only after collecting preliminary data that allow limiting the solution space and use a shorter number of particles than it would be normally necessary. The method assumes a Gaussian plume model for odour dispersion. This models average odour concentrations, but the particle filter was proved adequate to fit instantaneous concentration measurements to that model, while the environment was being sampled. The method was validated in an obstacle free controlled wind tunnel and the validation results show its ability to quickly converge to accurate estimates of the plume’s parameters after a reduced number of plume crossings.
An Improved Near-Field Computer Vision for Jet Trajectory Falling Position Prediction of Intelligent Fire Robot
Authors: Zhu Jinsong , Pan Lu , Zhao Ge
Published: December 2020

An improved Near-Field Computer Vision (NFCV) system for intelligent fire robot was proposed that was based on our previous works in this paper, whose aims are to realize falling position prediction of jet trajectory in fire extinguishing. Firstly, previous studies respecting the NFCV system were briefly reviewed and several issues during application testing were analyzed and summarized. The improved work mainly focuses on the segmentation and discrimination of jet trajectory adapted to complex lighting environment and interference scenes. It mainly includes parameters adjustment on the variance threshold and background update rate of the mixed Gaussian background method, jet trajectory discrimination based on length and area proportion parameters, parameterization, and feature extraction of jet trajectory based on superimposed radial centroid method. When compared with previous works, the proposed method reduces the average error of prediction results from 1.36 m to 0.1 m, and the error variance from 1.58 m to 0.13 m. The experimental results suggest that every part plays an important role in improving the functionality and reliability of the NFCV system, especially the background subtraction and radial centroid methods. In general, the improved NFCV system for jet trajectory falling position prediction has great potential for intelligent fire extinguishing by fire-fighting robots.
Research on Bearing Fault Diagnosis Method Based on an Adaptive Anti-Noise Network under Long Time Series
Authors: Wang Changdong , Sun Hongchun , Zhao Rong , Cao Xu
Published: December 2020

In the era of big data, longer time series fault signals will not only be easy to copy and store, but also reduce the labor cost of manual labeling, which can better meet the needs of industrial big data. Aiming to effectively extract the key classification information from a longer time series of bearing vibration signals and achieve high diagnostic accuracy under noise and different load conditions. The one-dimensional adaptive long sequence convolutional network (ALSCN) is proposed. ALSCN can better extract features directly from high-dimensional original signals without manually extracting features and relying on expert knowledge. By adding two improved multi-scale modules, ALSCN can not only extract important features efficiently from noise signals, but also alleviate the problem of losing key information due to continuous down-sampling. Moreover, a Bayesian optimization algorithm is constructed to automatically find the best combination of hyperparameters in ALSCN. Based on two bearing data sets, the model is compared with traditional model such as SVM and deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) et al. The results prove that ALSCN has a higher diagnostic accuracy rate on 5120-dimensional sequences under −5 signal to noise ratio (SNR) with better generalization.
Green Practices for Global Supply Chains in Diverse Industrial, Geographical, and Technological Settings: A Literature Review and Research Agenda
Authors: Giuffrida Maria , Mangiaracina Riccardo
Published: December 2020

With the rise in global consumption and the consequent intensive demand for global resources, the attention of scholars and practitioners towards greener supply chains has grown over the years. In this context, this study has two main aims. The first is to offer an up-to-date literature review of the ways in which sustainability is pursued in diverse settings, based on the sector, the geographical area, and the level of adoption of digital technologies of a company. The second aim is to identify the research gaps in this field, and to suggest directions for future investigations. The results of the structured literature review reveal that, although developed and developing countries tend to focus on different types of sustainable interventions, three factors are consistently considered to be crucial for the success of a sustainable initiative in global supply chains. These factors are the collaboration along the supply chain, the commitment of the top management, and the presence of environmentally-oriented policies or regulations. These three factors complicate the decision-making process that is needed to implement sustainable practices. Therefore, we suggest ways in which to design future research that better capture the real challenges of making environmentally conscious decisions, leveraging on the concepts of the Intertwined Supply Network (ISN) and the cognitive frame.
Investigating Paradigm Shift from Price to Value in the Air Cargo Market
Authors: Choi Jong Hae , Park Yong Hwa
Published: December 2020

This study presents a paradigm shift in the air cargo market based on Korea and Incheon Airport’s empirical data. The air cargo market has traditionally handled expensive items and has been a supplier-oriented market. There has been little room for individual customers in this market. However, “value” gradually replaces “price” in this market. The value depending on consumer preferences significantly impact air cargo demand. Consequently, items transported by air cargo are changing, and airlines and other market participants are revising operation policy. Economic growth may be losing its dominant power as the main growth engine in the air cargo market. This study identifies the weakened link between air cargo increase and economic growth based on the Granger causality test. COVID-19 calls for a deeper understanding of the paradigm shift in the market for sustainable air transport because COVID-19 will further stimulate it. In this regard, the air cargo business, which maintains a stable trend even during COVID-19, is seen as a new opportunity for the aviation industry. Since sustainable air transport requires an accurate understanding of the paradigm shift in the air cargo market, this study enhances our knowledge of the paradigm shift and provides significant implications for sustainable air transport.
A Hybrid Method for Citizen Science Monitoring of Recreational Trampling in Urban Remnants: A Case Study from Perth, Western Australia
Authors: Simpson Greg D. , Parker Jackie , Gibbens Erin , Ladd Philip G.
Published: December 2020

Vegetation trampling that arises from off-trail excursions by people walking for recreation can negatively impact the structure of understory plants in natural spaces that are an essential element of urban green infrastructure in a modern city. In addition to reducing the esthetic quality and environmental values of urban remnant and replanted native vegetation, such trampling reduces the habitat that supports wildlife populations within the urban fabric. This case study draws upon several disparate methods for measuring vegetation structure and trampling impacts to produce a hybrid method that community-based citizen scientists (and land managers and other researchers) could use to simply, rapidly, and reproducibly monitor how trampling associated with urban recreation trails impacts the structure of understory vegetation. Applying the novel hybrid method provided evidence that trampling had reduced the vegetation structure adjacent to a recreational walking trail in an urban woodland remnant in Perth, Western Australia. The hybrid method also detected ecological variability at the local ecosystem-scale at a second similar woodland remnant in Perth. The hybrid sampling method utilized in this case study provides an effective, efficient, and reproducible data collection method that can be applied to recreation ecology research into aspects of trampling associated with trail infrastructure.
Correlation of Short Pitch Rail Corrugation with Railway Wheel-Track Resonance at Low Frequencies of Excitation
Authors: Balekwa Bingo Masiza , Kallon Daramy Vandi Von
Published: December 2020

As much as there has been a significant increase in the development of railway systems in recent years, one of the significant drawbacks on this mode of transport is ground-borne vibrations and noise emanating from vehicle-track interaction in service. This greatly affects the ecology and physical surroundings of the railway track. Experimental tests and Finite Element modal and complex eigenvalue analysis are conducted to investigate the dynamics of a traction wheelset and rail track. This is done to establish the correlation between the short pitch rail corrugation in the Belfast to Steelpoort railway line, in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, with railway wheel-tract resonance at low frequencies of excitation. A 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) and complex eigenvalue analysis are used to validate the resonance modes of the wheelset and rail track obtained through experimental modal analysis. Mode shapes are determined for natural frequencies that match the excitation frequency induced by short pitch rail corrugation. The results show that based on average train speeds around track curves, the excitation frequency induced by corrugation matches (quite reasonably) natural frequencies of the wheelset. Whilst the wheelset FEM results are in better agreement, they rather prove the correlation to occur at 100 Hz. In a previous study by the authors, at the average speeds per track curve, the corrugation excitation frequency was found to be 108 Hz. The current study goes further by investigating natural frequencies of rail tracks. Moreover, mode shapes of a traction wheelset and rail tracks are also investigated, and the results are presented herein.
A review of high-power magnetoplasmodynamic electric propulsion designs and studies of RSC Energia
Authors: SINYAVSKIY Victor V.
Published: December 2020

At the initiative of S.P.Korolev, in 1959, Special Design Bureau No.1 (now RSC Energia) established the High-temperature Power Engineering and Electric Propulsion Center which was tasked with development of nuclear electric propulsion for heavy interplanetary vehicles. Selected as the source of electric power was a nuclear power unit based on a thermionic converter reactor, and selected as the engine was a stationary low-voltage magnetoplasmodynamic (MPD) high-power (0.5–1.0 MW) thruster which had thousands of hours of service life. The paper presents the results of extensive efforts in research, development, design, materials science experiments, and tests on the MPD-thruster, including the results of development and 500-hours life tests of an MPD-thruster with a 500-600 kW electric power input that used lithium propellant. The world’s first lithium 17 kW MPD-thruster was built and successfully tested in space. The paper points out that to this day nobody has surpassed the then achievements of RSC Energia neither in thruster output during long steady-state operation, nor in performance and service life.

Authors: RASSKAZOV Yaroslav V. , CHERNYSHEV Ivan E. , KOBETS Viktor D.
Published: December 2020

The docking ring of an elastically adaptive docking mechanism on the initial contact signal is extended by spring-loaded mechanisms of the rods in order to improve capture conditions. In the process, it reaches a high velocity, which applies unacceptably high impact loads to the docking interface. This paper discusses an extension velocity limiter for the docking ring, its analytical model, and a brief procedure for calculating its parameters. It describes a simplified model for ring extension during initial contact, and a method for determining viscous friction coefficient of the ball-screw pair of the docking mechanism, which is a parameter in the model. It presents the procedure, results and comparison of simulations of the docking ring extension both with the use of the proposed retarder and without it. It is demonstrated that the use of the velocity limiter permits to meet the requirements of the International Standard for pulsed loads on the passive interface. The paper describes a design option for velocity limiter that has acceptable mass and dimensions.

Implementation of European Union structural and cohesion policy after 2020
Authors: Petríková Mária
Published: December 2020

Structural and cohesion policy is one of the European Union’s main instruments for implementing one of its main principles, and that is solidarity between the more economically developed regions and those which are lagging behind in economic and social terms. Reducing regional disparities in the European Union is achieved through individual instruments, the most important of which are the structural funds. The preparation of legislation and conditions for the new programming period 2021-2027 is currently being intensively negotiated at the level of the European Commission and the Member States. These processes are affected by the fact that the European Union is currently facing many new challenges that affect the setting of priorities as well as the new multiannual financial framework. Cohesion policy is the European Union’s most powerful investment tool and currently accounts for one-third of the EU budget but cuts proposed by the Commission for the years 2021-2017 would reduce its share considerably.Key words: cohesion, European Union, programming period 2021-2027, legislative

This book explores changes in eating habits in African, Latin American and Asian cities. It reveals—through studies on city dwellers’ food practices and representations—the inadequacy of an analytical approach to these changes in terms of Westernization, standardization, transition or convergence towards a widely applicable model. Surveys conducted in cities of the Global South revealed that city dwellers are inventing new forms of eating based on a multitude of local and/or exogenous sources.
GEOECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE MONETARY GLOBALIZATION
Authors: SHAROV Oleksandr
Published: December 2020

Author defines monetary globalization and examines the historical process of spreading money and cash nexus across the globe. It is stated that money developed almost simultaneously in three great civilizations (Europe, India, China), but over time the Hellenistic form of money absorbed and universalized all other forms of money. The author examines in detail the process of distribution of metallic and then credit form of money and their impact on economic globalization. All these processes occurring both in the markets of separate countries or small regions and at the international level (where money started to act as global currency almost immediately after its appearance) constitute the essence of the monetary globalization. The author dwells on the post-Bretton Woods period of development of the World Monetary System, believing that the extensive phase of monetary globalization has come to an end at this stage and its further development will be caused by fundamental qualitative changes.

Published: December 2020

The horrors of WWII changed history and created a better Europe based on a Common market as an essential signal of unity among the EU member states. Now generations have grown up in peace and growing prosperity. However, a decade ago, ECB/EU had to overcome the EU-euro-financial crisis and now Brexit. In addition, Covid19 crisis brings many pressing problems, as the Coronavirus pandemic is likely to result in Europe/Germany’s largest economic downturn in the last seven decades. Loss of prosperity, des-integration in the European Union could escalate further. Even in academic and scientific institutions and in European research networks difficulties are relevant. Can we overcome Brexit / Corona and create a healthy Europe that is a global socioeconomic leader? Based on our Cultural Heritage across Europe we must look further than Brexit, and even more seek solutions to the Ukrainian conflict.
BEHAVIORAL FINANCIAL DECISIONS OF THE POPULATION IN THE PROCESS OF CONSUMPTION
Authors: KARPYSHYN Natalia , TABAKA Solomia
Published: December 2020

Introduction. The financial decision-making process depends not only on objective economic factors and motives; it is often under the influence of behavioural factors and subjective perceptions of situations. Consumption, as a continuous process of acquiring goods and services, has become an integral attribute of public life and a significant item of expenditure of personal and family budgets. Therefore, understanding the behavioural effects that affect the financial behaviour of consumers is an important step towards conscious consumption and rational spending of personal funds.

The purpose is to theoretical analyse the influence of behavioral factors on the financial decisions of citizens in the field of consumption in order to reduce their negative effects and optimize consumer spending.

Methods. System of general scientific and special research methods were used in the article. Methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization were used for the study of literary, statistical and Internet sources on the research topic; visualization method were used for visual presentation of the processed data; abstract-logical method - for generalize the presented material and formulate conclusions. The method of questionnaires and sampling, methods of statistical analysis and comparison were used for evaluate the financial decisions of households in Ukraine.

Results. The article presents that using of an “intuitive” system of making financial decisions in the process consumption leads to unconscious and irrational spending of personal funds. The author generalized theories of behavioral finance and systematized the behavioral factors that influence citizens' financial decisions, namely: heuristics, emotions, framing, market influence, psychological accounting and loss perception. It has been proven that due to the lack of time for detailed information analysis, people make decisions under the influence of heuristics, such as the bandwagon effect, possession and anchoring. In such cases, money is spent irrationally and consumption becomes unconscious, as it is stimulated by marketing technologies and manipulations. Behavioral factors of emotional influence (excessive self-confidence and greed) also push the population to unjustified financial risks.

Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: Papillary carcinoma thyroid (PTC) is the predominant form of thyroid cancer in both adults and children [1]. The incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing [2]. Incidence of PTC is 3 times more common in female than male, but this disparity decreases with increasing patient age [1]. AIM: To analyse the clinicopathological profile of PTC in Madras Medical College located in Chennai, TamilNadu, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data on age, sex, size, histological subtype, centricity of the tumor, nodal metastasis, extra thyroidal extension and associated non malignant condition of all cases of PTC diagnosed in Madras Medical College, Chennai from January 2016 to December 2018 were obtained clinicopathological documents. Histopathological slides were analysed and Immunohistochemistry was done to differentiate PTC from other non malignant lesion. The cases were divided into four catagories based on age and sex. RESULT: Totally 189 thyroid malignancies were reported of which 161 were PTC (85%). Female: male ratio was 3.5: 1. This disparity decreases after 50 years of age. In males above 50years of age had nodal metastasis (47%) and extra thyroidal extension (47%) which was high when compared with other groups. Extrathyroidal extension (50%) was found to be more frequent in cases with tumor size more than >4cm. CONCLUSION: Papillary thyroid carcinoma was common in female. Extra thyroidal extension (P =0.014996), nodal metastasis (P =0.030258) was most common in elderly male (> 50 years).

Introduction: Gingival pigmentation which is caused by deposition of melanin pigment is a major esthetic concern for many people. A case is reported in which an evaluation of 4 popular depigmentation procedures carried .
Methodology: Patients associated with gingival hyperpigmentation in 4 quadrants based on Dummetts scoring criteria were included. Healing and recurrence were assessed following depigmentation carried out by scalpel, bur, electrosurgery and laser. The outcome of procedures were assessed at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months.
Results: Healing following Scalpel and laser were better than bur and electro surgery. Post-operative pain was less with the use of scalpel and laser.
Discussion: In this case report, it was found that the time taken to carry out all the 4 procedures were nearly the same. Both scalpel surgery and laser led to uneventful healing and minimal post-operative pain when compared to abrasion by burs and electro surgery in the immediate post-surgical period of 1 week to 1 month.
Conclusions: Better treatment outcomes were observed with the scalpel and laser techniques.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTERDIALYTIC WEIGHT GAIN AND PRE HEMODIALYSIS BLOOD PRESSURE IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS

Published: December 2020

Interdialytic weight gain in patients with hemodialysis depends on fluid, salt intake in interdialytic period and compliance of dialysis patients. In end stage renal disease(ESRD) patients due to decreased and absent residual urine output there is salt and water retention in body which leads to interdialytic weight gain. Overhydration and IDWG is assumed to be the main cause of pre hemodialysis raised blood pressure(BP) in ESRD patients. Here the relationship between IDWG and pre HD blood pressure is studied in 40 hemodialysis patients. We recorded pre HD BP and IDWG in four subsequent hemodialysis sessions for each patient during the period of 2 weeks in patients who are on twice weekly hemodialysis. so, in total we studied 160 hemodialysis sessions. Mean of four pre HD BP is compared with mean of four IDWG for each patient. Then correlation between 40 mean IDWG and 40 mean pre HD BP is studied and also correlation between IDWG and pre HD blood pressure during 160 hemodidlysis sessions studied individually.

Background: Coagulation parameters are essential part of clinical and laboratory workup, Pre-Analytical variables like collection, anticoagulation, transportation, storage and hematocrit all effect coagulation parameters tests and accuracy of results, like PT, APTT and fibrinogen. As transportation and storage effecting time and temperature are very variable, they can interfere with the results of coagulation parameters. Aim: To study the effect of time on coagulation parameters PT, APTT, and Fibrinogen at Room temperature. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 70 adult asymptomatic patients 18 years or older. Sample in 3.2% citrate vials with blood to citrate ratio 9:1 were run in automatic analyser (Stago compact) and results were recorded. Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad QuickCalcs .Results: PT and Fibrinogen did not have clinically relevant changes up to 24 hours and APTT upto 4 hours at Room temperature Conclusion:, PT and Fibrinogen measurement could be safely stored for upto 24 hours at Room temperature, while APTT can only be stored upto 4 hours at Room temperature.
