Published: January 2023

This examines the phenomena of exercise behavior and physical activities among staff in Kaduna Polytechnic. From reviewed literature, the study explores the extent to which demographic variables such as sex, age, division of duty and duty post influence the exercise behavior and physical activities of staff of the institution. This study adopts Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as the standpoint for interpretation of the data collected. Descriptive survey was adopted for the study, while Cluster and simple random sampling was used to select academic, nonacademic and administrative staff of the Polytechnic as respondents in the study. The study samples were 503 and the instrumentation adopted was questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS version 24 and Excel 2013 which elicited the descriptive and inferential statistics measured in mean and standard deviation that were subjected to t-test and Analysis of Variances. The findings reveal that; lack of physical activity in the respondents is acute where in the last one year only 17% reported more activeness, while 45.5% are less active and up to 15.5% are none active. In addition, up to 60% of the respondents get less physical activities as they would have needed; as only 38% of the respondents walk at least one mile without resting, once in many weeks, 23.5% of the respondents reported walking once in a week, as only 6% of respondents reported walking a mile every day of the week. The study conclude that there is less active pattern of exercise behavior in a cross section of the staff of Kaduna polytechnic, in Nigeria. Hence, recommends among other things that, Federal Government through the TETFUND provides sports equipment such as bike, dumbbells and sport physical fitness tools to tertiary institutions. The Polytechnic (Kaduna Polytechnic) should revitalize competitive sport among staffs in the campuses and colleges of the institutions. That the three staff unions in the polytechnic should, tap into their yearly incomes (membership check-dues) to purchase sporting equipment such as treadmills, bikes, weightlifting and dumbbells for colleges, departments and units.

Introduction: The rapid development of the aviation industry is raising the issue of improving flight safety, especially for passenger air transportation. This article discusses the issue of improving the flight safety of passenger aircraft through the use of a skew control system for wing mechanization, as well as the regulatory framework governing the development and certification of aircraft. Currently, in the development of such systems, non-automated design methods are used, which do not allow achieving the required parameters of the system, taking into account the tight design time. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to improve the accuracy and speed of the skew control system of the wing sections, as well as to increase the speed and quality of the skew control system design. Methods: Within the framework of this work, a method is proposed for determining the optimal parameters of the elements of the skew control system of the wing mechanization based on inductive proximity sensors, namely the geometric dimensions of the targets, due to which an inductive sensor monitors the movement of the wing mechanization elements. This technique is presented in the form of a logical block diagram and can be automated to increase the speed and quality of the skew control system design. Results: The proposed method takes into account when calculating the working stroke of mechanization, the dimensions of the sensor's sensitive element, the parameters necessary for the formation of the corresponding signal by the sensor, and the design features of the sensor installation. The selected parameters allow tracking the skew of each individual wing high-lift section with an accuracy of tenths of a degree. Due to this, the skew control system allows the mechanization to be stopped as quickly as possible, which prevents the occurrence of significant negative moments, breakdowns of the units, and also makes it possible to promptly notify the pilot about aircraft malfunctions. Practical relevance: the practical significance of the proposed method lies in its versatility and the possibility of using it for designing skew control systems based on inductive proximity sensors. Discussion: In the future, this technique can be improved to take into account other parameters of the sensors used and design constraints.

Introduction. Smart lifecycle services, along with the adoption of other smart manufacturing strategies, show significant potential to increase the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises. There is a clear need for high quality process models and software representations of physical hardware that reflect the evolution of their physical counterparts in particular detail. Digital twin technology can provide fertile ground for the development of IoT based lifecycle applications. This paper proposes a software approach to the process of developing a digital twin. The purpose of this work is to study the methods of creating software frameworks in the context of digital twin technology, as well as to study the process of creating and integrating digital twins and developing our own tool. Existing methods for creating twins are considered and a self developed Python library is described. The work uses the methods of the category of research in action and the philosophy of Agile development. Methods. The choice of methodology in seeking answers to questions that arise when studying methods for improving digital twins mainly falls into the category of research in action. In this paper, research in action is used as a qualitative tool, well suited to situations where the researcher seeks to achieve two different goals, namely: to solve a contemporary problem faced by the organization; contribute to a pool of knowledge that can later be used by other people to solve problems in the same class of problems. Results. Created library supports two modes of data retrieval: using periodic database queries and TCP socket connection. The experiments carried out as part of the work allow us to conclude that the library can already be used as a tool for creating a digital twin and its integration.
ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE ATTENUATION MODEL IN THE PROPAGATION OF RADIO WAVES
Authors:   North Caucasus branch of Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics, Golovskoy V.A.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The present technological order is characterized by the increasing role of intellectualized technologies in various spheres of society. One of these technologies is described by the concept of cognitive radio. One of the distinguishing features of this technology is the declared ability to gain knowledge about its operating environment, dynamically and autonomously adjust its operational parameters and protocols according to the knowledge gained, and also allow the system to learn based on the results obtained. Methods: The paper presents the developed approach to the identification of the attenuation model during the propagation of radio waves in an urbanized area. Identification in this case means the definition of a specific attenuation model from the available descriptions of a set of models that most fully describes the conditions for the propagation of radio waves in the territory under consideration. To verify the proposed analytical apparatus, a corresponding algorithm has been developed and its software implementation has been carried out using the Python programming language. The results of the conducted modeling are presented for the identification of semi-empirical models of attenuation of Okumura-Hat and Ibrahim-Parsons, which are most often used in practice to describe the conditions of propagation of radio waves. Research results: The proposed approach can be used in cognitive radio systems for the formation of knowledge about the operating environment and subsequent correction of this knowledge. Knowledge in this case, in accordance with the adopted production approach, is understood as data that allows to effectively obtain a solution to the task. The hypothesis is formulated that: attenuation models allow describing the terrain with a quality sufficient for the formation of cognitive radio system of knowledge about its operating environment.
ANALYSIS OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EXISTING INVARIANT COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Authors:   Siberian state university of telecommunications and informatics (SibSUTIS), Pavlov I. I.
Published: January 2023

Introduction: The annual increase in the transmitted information through communication channels leads to a complication in solving problems of noise immunity. To facilitate the solution of these problems, it is necessary to analyze the concepts of "invariant". This concept is found in all fields of science and therefore it is necessary to consider the various concepts of "invariant" and the authors involved in the study of this problem. To analyze the differences between the concepts of invariance in communication systems and other fields of science. And the question of the difference between the concepts of "tensor" and "matrix" is considered. The matrix description characterizes the fixed value of the object for the selected moment of time, and the tensor description allows you to get a description of the object for all moments of time and, therefore, is more general. If we consider a matrix that describes an object, then this matrix will not be an invariant object. However, often in practice, we need to make a large number of calculations, and often they are of the same type. Tensor methods of calculations are used for this, which leads to a more concise and visual form of representation. Methods and Results: To solve the problems of noise immunity of the communication system, it is necessary that the probability of errors on the receiving side does not exceed acceptable values. In communication systems, information passing through a communication channel can be transmitted to a communication channel with constant characteristics or to a communication channel with variable characteristics. If the communication channel is organized with constant characteristics, then the probability of error in this channel is a constant value. And in order to organize the noise immunity of the communication system, it is necessary to design it so that all elements of this communication system are selected, organized and synchronized so that the parameters of the communication system meet the specified requirements. To meet the specified requirements, the communication system can be absolute invariant or relative invariant to additive or non-additive interference. In conclusion, the classification of invariant communication systems according to the work of Yu. B. Okunev is considered.
FAST FRACTAL IMAGE ENCODER DESIGN
Authors:   Leader University, Wu Yung-Gi
Published: January 2023

Fractal theory has been widely applied in the filed of image compression due to the advantage of resolution independence, fast decoding, and high compression ratio. However, it has a fatal shortcoming of intolerant encoding time because that every range block is need to find its corresponding best matched domain block in the full image. Therefore, it has not been widely applied as other coding schemes in the field of image compression. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to improve this time-consuming encoding drawback by the adaptive searching window, partial distortion elimination and characteristic exclusion algorithms. Proposed can efficient decrease the encoding time significantly. In addition, the compression ratio is also raised due to the reduced searching window. Conventional fractal encoding for a 512 by 512 image need search 247009 domain blocks for every range block. Experimental results show that our proposed method only search 120 domain blocks which is only 0.04858% compared to conventional fractal encoder for every range block to encode Lena 512 by 512 8-bit gray image at the bit rate of 0.2706 bits per pixel (bpp) while maintaining almost the same decoded quality as conventional fractal encoder does. This paper contributes to the research of encoder of fast image communication system.

The Global Connectivity Report 2022 takes stock of the progress in digital connectivity over the past three decades. It provides a detailed assessment of the current state of connectivity and how close the world is to achieving universal and meaningful connectivity, using a unique analytical framework. It goes on to showcase solutions and good practices to accelerate progress. The second part of the report consists of seven thematic deep dives on infrastructure, affordability, financing, the pandemic, regulation, youth, and data. Chapter 7 (Policy and regulatory strategies that drive digital transformation). The need to redefine policy priorities, the roles of stakeholders, and to identify new tools has never been more pressing. Tensions, nevertheless, persist between established and emerging approaches to policy and regulation and new strategies will need to prove themselves. As digital markets grow and move towards everything-as-a-service, an agile and iterative, lean approach to policy and regulation has started to develop. The agency of regulators and policy-makers and their agility will be the keys to making the implementation of digital policies more impactful. Chapter 10 (Measuring meaningful connectivity: The case for more and better statistics). Data are vital to universal and meaningful digital connectivity. While data volumes have grown exponentially, for many countries reliable statistics on digital connectivity remain surprisingly scant. To assess progress, data on the deployment and uptake of digital technologies are essential. ITU collects, analyses and disseminates statistics from administrative sources and household surveys conducted by national statistical offices. While much progress has been made in recent years, large data gaps remain, especially on indicators collected from household surveys. These gaps are symptomatic of wider data gaps elsewhere. More and better data are needed to understand and remove the barriers to meaningful connectivity, especially for the marginalized people who are still offline. Data cultures, funding and improving the collection, processing and use of data are integral to development.

The paper proposes theoretical foundations for assessing the integrated efficiency of fishing industry enterprises. A set of parameters is proposed, including factors that characterize the environmental and social efficiency of the enterprise, as well as factors affecting the effectiveness of the enterprise management system. The factors for assessing environmental efficiency included assessments characterizing emissions of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances, the level of energy consumption, as well as the harm caused to water resources. The factors for assessing social effectiveness included assessments related to the level of wages, the level of injuries, the assessment of the effectiveness of labor protection measures and the assessment of staff housing conditions. To determine the effectiveness of corporate governance, factors related to the assessment of the quality management system, the assessment of the quality of risk management systems, and the assessment of the overall financial condition of the enterprise are taken into account. The proposed computer complex consists of two modules. The first module is used to form an integral estimate. The second module is used to correlate the received assessment to one of the seven classes of the state. The proposed provisions are based on the methods of fuzzy set theory and the property of the hierarchical fuzzy inference system, which is based on the Sugeno algorithm. The results of the study led to the conclusion that the system allows you to track the sharp deviation of each of the parameters. The presence of a block of grouping values makes it possible to form classes of states of the evaluated objects. Each of the state classes is identified with one of the seven levels of the ESG score value. The conclusions made open up the possibility of further development of corporate information systems.

In the present article the results of studying the influence of polyvinylidene fluoride content (PVDF) in a mixture with vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (VDF-TeFE) on the properties of spinning solutions, structure, surface free energy and cocrystallization of polymers in composite membranes – obtained by electrospinning –are presented. It was established that an increase in PVDF content in a mixture with VDF-TeFE leads to an increase in electrical conductivity and a decrease in the viscosity of spinning solutions, a decrease in the diameter of the fibers forming the membrane, and a decrease in the tensile strength and relative elongation. It was shown that, regardless of the PVDF content, all the formed membranes are hydrophobic and have low free energy of the surface. It was established that an increase in the PVDF content leads to disordering of the ferroelectric β-phase, which manifests itself in a decrease in the interplanar spacing and crystallite size, and a decrease in the degree of system crystallinity.

Published: January 2023

A description of a new class of organizational and technical systems is given – intelligent road-building compaction control systems, the principles of operation of which provide for ensuring a given quality of compaction of asphalt mixtures in the process of road construction. The development of systems of that class is due, in the first place, to the transition to digital and intelligent control systems in construction. A scientific problem related to the relevance of creating methods for intelligent control of compaction of asphalt mixtures that affect the quality of road surfaces was formulated. To succeed, the usage of neural network structures was proposed. The usage will allow real-time monitoring of changes in the compaction quality index and efficient controlling of road machines using both the driver's manual means and the automatic compaction control system. The properties of the system under study – which determine the principles of its functioning: intelligence, informativity, speed, interconnectedness of subsystems, controllability and modularity – were presented. The above principles of the functioning of the proposed system, which are part of the methodology for managing the quality of asphalt compaction of pavement roads, were implemented in a set of methods and algorithms. Among them should be noted a new method of intelligent continuous control of compaction in the process of laying asphalt mixtures, an advanced method of intelligent prediction of compaction quality by vibrating rollers.

Реалізація інтегративного підходу в процесі навчання студентів першого курсу машинобудівних спеціальностей
Authors: Бурєнніков Юрій , Козлов Леонід , Буда Антоніна
Published: January 2023

У статті запропоновано інтегративний підхід до викладання дисциплін «Вступ до фаху» і «Нарисна геометрія та інженерна графіка» з метою удосконалення навчального процесу та прискорення осмислення й пізнання студентами-бакалаврами першого курсу машинобудівних спеціальностей основного змісту фаху спеціальності «Прикладна механіка».

Наголошено, що прискорення опанування здобувачами освіти основного змісту спеціальності «Прикладна механіка» відбувається шляхом створення нового алгоритму викладання дисципліни «Вступ до фаху», в основу якого покладено докладний розгляд теми «Технологічний процес» безпосередньо на початку першого курсу, і побудовою на цій основі всього змісту викладення навчального матеріалу впродовж семестру. Зазначене вище забезпечується зміною алгоритму викладання дисциплін «Нарисна геометрія та інженерна графіка», зокрема у подачі навчального матеріалу, необхідного для засвоєння теми «Технологічний процес механічної обробки» на початку першого семестру першого курсу, та застосуванням оригінальної методики.

Доведено, що закріплення теоретичного матеріалу найкраще здійснювати завдяки лабораторним та практичним роботам із подальшою демонстрацією повного технологічного процесу обробки. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що використання інтегративного підходу щодо викладання означених дисциплін на  початковому етапі навчання у закладі вищої освіти дає можливість студентам-першокурсникам швидше опановувати зміст майбутнього фаху, а також зрозуміти необхідність знання матеріалу всіх дисциплін навчального плану бакалаврської підготовки.

Означений вище інтегративний підхід до викладання окреслених нами дисциплін надає студентам машинобудівних спеціальностей достатньо знань та вмінь вже по закінченню першого семестру бакалаврату, щоб надалі розвивати набуті інженерно-технічні навички, беручи участь у тематичних фахових гуртках, студентських наукових товариствах, олімпіадах  тощо.

State of Brain Networks in Long Covid: Post Mild to Moderate Acute Covid -19 Disease
Authors: Kapoor Atul
Published: January 2023

Background: Long Covid is a well-known entity in patients who recovered from acute Covid-19 disease and this phase is dominated by neurological complaints chiefly fatigue, palpitations and sleep disorders. This study was designed to assess the functional connectivity of the major brain networks in patients who recovered from mild to moderate Covid-19 disease.

Methods: A observational study comprising of 100 consecutive symptomatic patients without any prior neurological disorder was conducted using resting state (rs) functional MRI. Post processing was done for both in-network and between-network connectivity of eight major brain networks and results statistically analyzed and correlated with clinical symptoms.

Results: 91% patients presented with fatigue and showed marked reduced activity of medial frontal cortex (MFC) of the default mode network (DMN) with reduced functional connectivity (FC) of DMN with Salience (SALIEN) network, Sensorimotor network (SMN), Dorsal attention network (DAN) with compensatory overactivity of right lateral posterior parietal node (LPP) which was a characteristic feature. PTSD was second commonest with 80% patients showing reduced FC of DMN, SALIEN, Language network (LANGN) with overactivity of Visual network (VISN) and the cerebellum. 77% patients had anosognosia and showing characteristic overactivity of basal ganglia network (BGN) with reduced FC of DMN, SALIEN, SMN.

Conclusion: Long covid patients show major altered FC of both in and between networks with DMN being most commonly affected with severely reduced FC of MFC. Fatigue patients showed a characteristic signature of overactive right LPP. PTSD patients had increased VISN and cerebellar BOLD activity while in anosgnosia a characteristic BGN over activity was seen.

The COVID-19 pandemic era might be passed, with more than 650million contaminated and 6.7 million subjects already died; because of successful mutation and manipulations of the Coronaviruses' sins in 2019 and counting. However, there are different (un-)known causes, which did result in a significant decrease in the death rate, with no obvious main reason being described yet. Moreover, how Coronavirus mutated into COVID-19 superbugs attentive on children and young people is not completely elucidated yet. The COVID-19 variants mutation is currently top of the list of the world’s concerns, according to the latest research from different Scientific study groups, with 35% saying it is one of the biggest social and political issues, that ever happened [1-5].

Although there is a rare chance of developing fungal co-infection in COVID 19 patients, once established it might cause significant morbidity and mortality. As a result, high index of suspicion of this condition will help in timely diagnosis and subsequent early treatment.

Here in, the author has reported the first case of gastrointestinal fungal infection in an infant age group with COVID 19. The infant was successfully managed with surgical resection, antifungals, and supportive management.
A Novel K-Wiring Technique for the Intraoperative Temporary Stabilisation of Comminuted Fibula Fractures, in Osteopaenic Bone
Authors: Hawisa Osama
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Experience has shown that comminuted fibula fractures in the setting of osteopaenic bone, pose a challenge in operative management. Fractures in the distal-third diaphyseal segment of the fibula, characterised as Weber C fibula fractures are often times highly comminuted, multi-fragmentary fractures. In this situation, the application of the sentinel principal in diaphyseal fracture management, which is to restore length, alignment, and rotation. K-wires are a useful adjunct to temporary fracture reduction/stabilisation. The study presents a novel useful technique which allows maintenance of fracture/bone length, in preparation for the application of a plate to the fibula in a bridging construct.

Technique: The fibula fracture is exposed and the fracture defined. Once the overall alignment of the bone is restored, a single ended 2mm k-wire is advanced through the fibula, remote from the fracture and across the interosseous space, and then into the tibia in the trans-fibula plane, stabilising the proximal fibula bone segment, to the tibia. A second wire is then mounted on a driver, and is in turn advanced through the fibula and across into the tibia, in the trans-fibula plane, this time in the distal bone segment, and again remote from the fracture. The wires are individually advanced through the tibia until such time as they protrude from the medial tibial surface a sufficient length that the wire might be then gripped with the wire driver on the medial side of the limb. The wires are pulled from the medial side, until the wire tip lies flush with the cortical bone surface, just visible to the naked eye, such that if a plate were applied it could be seated, unimpeded by the wire.

Discussion: The trans-fibula plane has been proven to be a safe plane upon which to advance a wire from the fibula, and through the tibia.
"You are Never Too Old to Overcome ADHD” - Case Report
Authors: Meyers Ralph
Published: January 2023

Case study about a 57-year-old head of publishing house, who suffered from ADHD with much impulsivity and mood changes, depression and eating disorders as well as persisting primitive reflexes, that worked as catalyst to the above-mentioned symptoms. This case report shows, how it was able to overcome all these conditions in 13 months of combined treatment with LDX in decreasing dosage, Neurofeedback (z-score training) and Reflex Integration Program (RIP®), that have been developed and published in 2021. Treatment results have been continually monitored with the OPATUS CPTa, a test measuring attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Two q-EEGs have been performed, one at baseline and other after conclusion of NFB and several clinical appointments monitoring neurological improvement and psychiatric evaluations in order to continue the decreasing dosage of medication, which was stopped after 10 months of the initial assessment. This case report represents uniquity, because such a quick improvement was not expected in this short time, which would be normal, when treating children with equal conditions.

Az 1950-es évektől kezdve számos kutatás vizsgálja a matematikai szorongást. A jelenség összetett, számos tényező kölcsönhatásának következményeképpen alakul ki, és szilárdul meg, mint a szocializációs tényezők, motivációs tényezők, kognitív természetű hatások, érzelmi, emocionális hatások, tanulással, oktatással kapcsolatos tényezők. A pedagógusképzésben oktató szakemberként azt tapasztaljuk, hogy a matematikai szorongás a leendő tanítók körében is nehézségeket okoz, ezáltal különleges figyelmet igényel. Tanulmányunkban a témában megjelent nemzetközi és hazai szakirodalmak eredményeinek összegzésére törekszünk.
Exploring the Development and Changes in Teacher Education: A Comparative Study of Education Policy Documents of India and Georgia
Authors: Phogat Chasul , Muzafarova Taisia
Published: January 2023

Despite being used widely in government documents, academic circles, and daily conversations, the word policy is open to varied interpretations. As the debates on education policies are becoming more intense, it is essential to address the increasing duality of the issue.

The current study explores and compares the teacher education programs in two developing countries, India and Georgia. An attempt has been made to present a comparative analysis of the recent policy developments in teacher education in the chosen countries. The recent education policy documents of the countries were critically analyzed to explore the trajectory of changes and reforms. The study has explored critical factors, such as recent developments in pedagogy and indication towards curriculum change in detail. The research is set within the following boundaries for each case – economic, demographic, ideological, national, individualistic. The research also addresses the rising issue of lacking trust in political decision-making. Another dilemma the authors faced concerns the attempts to avoid biases while focusing on the policy documents native to their contexts and isolating these from researchers’ prejudices, values, and preconceptions. The data analysis techniques include thematic and content analysis. The results suggest a common factor of updating the training program and pedagogy in both countries.
