Representation of knowledge in an intelligent control system for take-off and landing of a robot helicopter based on a frame model
Authors: Дайебал Джаффар Бакер Джабар
Published: June 2022

Задача представления объектов в пространстве возникает в области автоматического и автоматизированного управления винтокрылыми летательными аппаратами. Она характеризуется требованиями высокой точности и скорости решения, а также должна решаться с минимальными вычислительными ресурсами. Робот-вертолет может использовать результаты наблюдения в пространстве как для задачи движения, так и для задачи наблюдения за другими объектами. В обоих случаях наблюдаемая картина не является строго детерминированной, так как представление положения робота-вертолета связано с бесконечным числом вариаций наблюдаемой сцены и поведения окружающих предметов. По этой причине классические строго формализованные подходы не дают желаемого эффекта. Кроме того, бесконечная вариация требует от автономного управляемого объекта разумного поведения. Избежать данной проблемы можно путем решения задачи представления знаний в интеллектуальной системе управления роботом-вертолетом таким образом, чтобы модель положения и сами действия по управлению описывались в терминах, используемых оператором. В данной статье предлагается подход к решению задачи представления знаний, базирующийся на гибридизации фреймовой модели и нечеткой логики, что позволяет избежать необходимости предварительного учета вариаций сцены и наблюдаемых объектов, а также автоматизировать задачи управления взлетом и посадкой.

The task of representing objects in an area comes from the field of automatic and automated control of rotary-wing aircraft. It is characterized by the requirements for high accuracy and speed of the solution and must also be solved with minimal computational resources. A robot helicopter can use the results of observation in space both for the task of movement and for the task of observing other objects. In either case, the observed picture is not strictly deterministic. Its representation is associated with an infinite number of variations in the observed scene and the behavior of surrounding objects. For this reason, classical strictly formalized approaches do not give the desired effect. Also, infinite variation requires an intelligent behavior from the autonomous controlled object. This problem can be avoided by solving the problem of knowledge representation in the intelligent control system of the robot helicopter in such a way that the position model and the control actions themselves are described in terms used by the operator. The paper proposes an approach to solving the problem of knowledge representation, based on the hybridization of the frame model and fuzzy logic, which avoids the need to take into account the variations of the scene and observed objects, as well as automate the tasks of take-off and landing control.

The Impact of the Communicative Behaviour in Social Media on the University Brand Image
Authors: Kazaishvili Ana , Khmiadashvili Lia
Published: June 2022

Purpose: Communicative behaviour as a state of relationship which influences bilateral feelings, needs, and thoughts for more unambiguous and open communication (Ivanov & Werner, 2010) can affect the brand image. Correspondingly, communication from the side of the universities toward students through social media has a significant role.

Facebook is a powerful communicational channel. It effectively and efficiently took control of the business sector, advertising sector, and furthermore, educational realm. It has an enduring influence on the way how people communicate, and as time passes, it becomes an essential part of their lives.

The article presents the behaviours of Georgian higher educational institutions in social media, especially on Facebook, and the attitude of the existing or potential students towards communicative behaviour of HEIs. The findings show what kind of influence does communication in Facebook has on customer perception and correspondingly brand image.

Study design/methodology/approach: Considering the sensitivity and nature of the research two types of studies were selected. Observing the behaviour of the universities directly on their Facebook pages was selected as the leading type of the research, since the content, as well as their responsiveness and engagement in further communication, is clearly visible visually. In addition, we have decided to listen to the customers themselves. Because of this reason focus groups of existing and potential students were selected to talk about their expectations and the reality in terms of communicative behaviour of the universities.

Findings: The results of both, observation as well as focus group research showed the lacks and lapses of communicative behaviour of Georgian universities on social media, specifically on Facebook. The most crucial ones were detected to be the following: delays in distributing valuable information, content not so much significant and interesting for students, indirect answers to student queries or ignoring at all.

Originality/value: Considering the globalizing landscape branding has become crucial for the universities for different reasons. Not only attracting potential students but also for retaining the existing ones and being exceptional they have to follow modern trends. Communication, direct or indirect, being one of the most significant for branding deserves more attention. The value of the current research is showing the expectations of the existing and potential customers and presents the gaps between “what is done” and “what should be done”.
Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 from the Lean perspective
Authors: Souza Raphael , Ferenhof Helio , Forcellini Fernando
Published: June 2022

Purpose: Despite the significant attention that Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has gained in the last decade, little importance has been given to shop-floor workers' role in effectively implementing these new technologies in production systems. Nowadays, several authors discuss the need to bring workers back to the center of the decision-making about implementing the new technologies in what is being called Industry 5.0 (I5.0). A key factor of using these new concepts is that it must make sense, and the new information generated by these technologies must have a precise use; otherwise, it will be considered waste. The Lean approach is already recognized as the best approach to identify and eliminate waste from production systems. Not only that, but it allows decisions about process improvement to be human-centric. Thus, this article aims to present the main aspects and evolution of I4.0 and I5.0 over time, using the Lean approach as the analysis lenses.

Study design/methodology/approach: In order to identify the mains aspects of I4.0 and I5.0, we develop a consistent literature review using the Systematic Search Flow (SSF).

Findings: As a result, it was possible to identify the evolution from I4.0 to I5.0, In I4.0, the main focus was on developing new technologies, combine them with classic Lean tools (e.g. Kanban 4.0, Poka-Yoke 4.0) and implement Cyber-Physical Systems. In I5.0, the focus is to use these new technologies together with shop floor workers to continuously improve production processes. Not only that, but in I5.0, the protagonist becomes (or return to become) the shop floor workers to lead the improvements, as is in the Toyota Kata approach.

Originality/value: This work presents a new way of interpreting the progression of concepts from I4.0 to I5.0. In addition, the focus on workers for problem solving is returning to the center of the discussion. Together with the technologies of I4.0, this represents a new area for future research.

Digital Divide and the Opportunity Dimension of Economic Inequality: The Case of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Pisica Rodica
Published: June 2022

Purpose: to analyse how the Republic of Moldova has been coping with digital inequality during the pandemic and the extent to which the digital divide has impacted the economic inequality in the country, as well as to understand what leads to digital disparities.

Study design/methodology/approach: In this research, the level of preparedness of the Moldovan households for the digitalization needs that occurred as a result of the pandemic and the both ways impact of the opportunity dimension of economic inequality and digital divide have been analysed, as well as how the lack of ICT utilities deprived certain social layers of economic opportunities during the pandemic. Concurrently, the causes of digital divide in the Republic of Moldova have been analysed to get a deeper understanding of the digital discrepancies that resulted in lack of economic opportunities.  For this purpose, the data on the access to mobile phones and computers, notebooks, tablets of Moldovan households and the connection to the Internet have been analysed and the digitalization trend has been contrasted with the disposable-income based economic inequality data (Gini index). The data used for the analysis have been retrieved from the National Bureaus of Statistics (NBS) of the Republic of Moldova and has been segregated per urban and rural areas as well as per quintiles. In addition, in order to understand the cause of digital divide and the impact on economic opportunity, we have added two more variables to the equation and namely, the absolute poverty and the employment indicator for the pandemic period (2019-2020).

Findings: Covid-19 found the Moldovan households unprepared for the digitalization needs generated by the pandemic. Even though deeper in the rural area, the digital divide has enhanced the economic inequality especially in the urban area during the early pandemic period. The high absolute poverty in the rural area and the increasing trend in the urban area, associated with a decreasing employment rate especially in the cities, represent a presumed outcome of the Moldovan digital unpreparedness which enhanced the economic inequality by affecting its opportunity dimension.

Originality/value: The novelty of the research is that the impact and interlink between two types of inequality (digital and economic) in the Republic of Moldova have been analysed with a special focus on the opportunity dimension of economic inequality.

Authors: Reyes Gian Franco , Sapallanay Olenka , Flores Jerson , Palacios Fernando
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas represent 90% of tumors in the sellar region. The surgery is performed by transsphenoidal resection (TSR) or transcranial resection (TCR); TSR can be by microscopy or endonasal endoscopy. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) associated with a pituitary tumor is rare and can be: Preoperative, due to pituitary apoplexy with rupture of the arachnoid into the basal cisterns, Intraoperative, due to vascular injury during surgery or rupture of an unidentified aneurysm; and Postoperative, due to residual tumor hemorrhage, or bleeding from small vessels adhered to the tumor capsule.1, 2 Clinical case: 46-year-old male patient with a clinical picture of bitemporal hemianopsia with left predominance. Magnetic resonance imaging and brain tomography showed a pituitary macroadenoma. Endoscopic endonasal resection of the tumor was performed without intraoperative opening of the arachnoid. On the 1st day, the evolution was favorable with improved visual fields, but on the 2nd day, the patient presented headache and increased visual deficit. Brain CT showed SAH in basal cisterns. Tomography angiography showed no vascular injury. The patient evolved favorably with the improvement of visual fields. Conclusion: Subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with a pituitary adenoma has various causes that can be preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. The incidence of postoperative SAH as a complication of endonasal endoscopic resection is low, but it can affect the patient's prognosis. Excessive traction on the tumor capsule should be avoided.

Authors: Putri Anysa , Syahriza Rahmi
Published: June 2022

This study aims to find out what are the main factors of work motivation of insurance agents. Insurance companies that are sometimes still underestimated by others, may be the most promising and productive job opportunities today. Certain births and deaths make insurance very suitable as a long-term investment for the family. In carrying out their duties, insurance agents are responsible for marketing and selling insurance services to cover losses caused by illness, car accidents, fires, earthquakes, and so on. In addition, the insurance agent serves as an intermediary for an agreement between the insured and the insurer which will later be regulated in the insurance agreement. This study uses observational research methods and literature studies and researchers find that agents have a great influence on the success of insurance companies for many years. Therefore, according to researchers, the work motivation of agents is an interesting topic to discuss.

Published: June 2022

Purpose

By considering the lack of studies of the factors that influence the adoption of 4.0 technologies in manufacturing SMEs, this study proposes a model that examines the aspects that motivate, benefit and obstruct the implementation of emerging technologies, as well as the role of the institutional environment, for a developing country.

Methodology

A qualitative approach and interview method were used to study 4.0 technologies in the “core” productive processes adopted in 25 SMEs. The gathered data were analysed and processed in NVivo 12 software.

Results

Two groups of categories (nodes) were obtained, within which related subcategories (subnodes) were located. These two groups are existing and emerging categories, which reflect the aspects that motivate, benefit and obstruct the adoption of 4.0 emerging technologies.

Conclusions

The identification of an emerging variable in the study of inhibitors and facilitators of the adoption and implementation of 4.0 technologies is a valuable contribution because it allows us to account for the problematisation of financing as an important variable in the processes of introduction into Industry 4.0 for SMEs. This proposal may facilitate public policies at regional and national level to promote and advance in this area of innovation for SMEs.

Pneumonia is a lung infection that is caused due to viruses, bacteria, and fungus. Pneumonia is a type of disease that can be cured if it was founded in its early stages. The website designed using this research acts as a virtual doctor and identifies the presence of pneumonia. This is done with the help of the Deep Learning (DL) method named the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). A dataset consisting of both normal and pneumonia affected images is collected and it is used to train, test, and validate the DL model. The images are the X-ray images of the chest of the human being. Along with the model, a website is designed using HTML. This website provides the result of whether the image uploaded is pneumonia-affected or not using the DL model. The model is then trained again and again to achieve higher accuracy. The model is then integrated with the website and it acts as a virtual doctor. This website can reduce the risk of pneumonia to reach a critical stage.

The success of sustainable management of the heritage building in an intelligent city is a difficult multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) issue including the coexistence of conflicting elements. There is an issue with incomplete decision information utilization and information loss throughout the decision-making process, and the interaction difficulty in a fuzzy environment is easy to miss. This paper provides a hybrid MCDM framework that combines the spherical fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (SF-AHP). The SF-AHP is used to assess the significance levels of building heritage. To use the stage MCDM model, a thorough set of assessment criteria based on the notion of sustainable development has been identified via literature research and expert interviews. To assess the efficacy of the suggested strategy, an application is done in this paper. Using the decision framework, the building heritage in intelligent cities has been identified. The suggested technique may be utilized to achieve management of the building heritage in intelligent cities.

This study is aimed at improving the participation of 30 Grade 7 students during the Academic Year 2021-2022 through the Kahoot! App. Kahoot! is a game-based student-response system that focuses on engaging the students in the classroom. Through class observations and interviews, it was found that students were rarely volunteering to answer questions and contribute to the discussion because of the traditional tools used by the teacher. To further validate the researchers’ observations, the respondents were given a pre-survey checklist as well as a post- post-survey checklist. This was to determine their extent of participation before and after the employment of the intervention. Results showed that the mean score of the respondents in their pre-survey was 1.79 or Strongly Disagree, while in their post-survey, it was 4.41 or Strongly Agree which means that there was a mean difference of 2.63. Also, the t-value of -37.51 means that the pre-survey checklist obtained a lower result than the post-survey checklist. This is attributed to the fact that the students favored and preferred Kahoot! App than Google Form. In addition, the p-value of 0.000 is less than the .01 level of significance which further validates that there is a significant difference of the pre-survey and the post-survey. This implies that the intervention of this research proved to improve the participation of the students in English. Thus, the intervention of this study is highly recommended for teachers to use in facilitating assessment activities in online setting because of the its engaging features like colorful backgrounds, pictures, interesting graphics, and immediate feedback, which motivate the students to participate.
