Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Ergonomics is the scientific discipline concerned with understanding of the interaction among humans and other elements of a system. Thus, ergonomics attempts to always ‘fit the job to the man’ having realized the limitations and capabilities of man. The main aim of ergonomics is to reduce the on job risk of injury as well is to improve the productivity which benefits the organization.

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this study is to reduce risk of injury to make job easier and ultimately increasing the productivity to the benefits of organization and community.

STUDY DESIGN

Cross sectional survey.

STUDY SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS

300 participants from different physical therapy and medical colleges.

INTERVENTIONS

Self administered questionnaire.

RESULTS

It was observed that only 28.67% were aware of the word Ergonomics but 82% of admitted to have knowledge of body posture and productivity in whole sample size. It was noted that 85.33% considered that maintaining body posture can prevent musculoskeletal disorders while on the other hand 14.67% thought that it improves body outlook. 72.33% people admitted to have musculoskeletal problem where 27.67% people replied negatively and different specific tasks contribute to discomfort in posture hence affecting generalized body and the efficiency of work.

CONCLUSION

It is concluded that level of ergonomics awareness is very low in Pakistan among professional students’ e.g. medical and physiotherapy students. This low level of ergonomics awareness is due to the fact that they were not conversant with the benefits derivable of ergonomics.

ABOUT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SIGNAL POWER, NUMBER OF M-QAM POSITIONS AND NOISE IMMUNITY IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEMS

Published: January 2021

Is studied the effect of measurement error on the accuracy of selecting the modulation type in the transmitter of the base station. The article discusses changes in the statistical characteristics of the measured signal as it passes through the stage of the feedback loop of the system of the LMDS type. Probabilistic characteristics of pilot-signal are determined at the output of this loop. The aim of the work was to find a compromise between the type of modulation and the power of the BS transmitter to maintain the transmission faithfulness within the given limits in the forward channel of an interactive wireless broadband radio access system of the LMDS. In this system a transition is made from one type of modulation to another in order to maintain the noise immunity of the system within the admissible limits. An adaptive controlling method of modulation type makes it possible to obtain an energy gain in the forward channel of the system. It is useful to determine the type of modulation by measuring the current value of the signal-to-interference ratio at the base station (BS) receiver. For this purpose a pilot signal is transmitted on the reverse channel of the system. This signal, passing through the turbulent medium, undergoes attenuation, and therefore at the input of the BS receiver we have a random process. Moreover, the distribution law of this process can be different and is determined by the communication channel model. The problem consisted in determining the necessary probabilistic characteristics of the output process by using the system parameters and probabilistic characteristics of the input random process. For this purpose the cumulants of the input random process and the random process at the output of the linear inertial system are determined. An expression for the probability density of the random process at the output of a linear inertial system is obtained. The graphics of the error probability on the energy parameter at 16-QAM and 64-QAM type of modulation are constructed. The influence of the measurement error on the accuracy of the choice of the modulation type in the transmitter of the BS is studied. The limits of the change in the energy parameter are defined graphically, under which the modulation type changes to ensure a given error probability. It is determined, that the system is more critical to the measurement error at high admissible error probability, i.e. at high error probabilities, small errors in the measurement of the signal-to-noise ratio make it necessary to transition to a more noise-immune modulation mode.

Authors:   Azerbaijan Technical University, Huseynov A. I.
Published: January 2021

The impact of roads unevenness, i.e. presence of upward and downward motion zones in the road on auto transport fuel consumption is studied. The task of calculation of optimum interrelation of motion speed and acceleration at the uneven roads in sense of reaching of minimum consumed fuel and minimum emissions on environment is formulated and solved. In the study, an analysis of known works on the topic of research was carried out, which showed that the unevenness of the road, i.e. the presence of descents and ascents on the route is one of the main reasons that led to an increase in fuel consumption by vehicles on the route, while the problem of calculating the optimal functional relationship between the speed and acceleration has not yet been solved. Formulated and solved the problem of finding the optimal relationship between the speed and acceleration of vehicles in terms of achieving the minimum fuel consumption on an uneven track. Practical recommendations have been developed for the implementation of the proposed optimal driving regime on uneven terrain containing descents and ascents.

From the moment the air/aero/aerial objects appeared the necessity of monitoring for them arose and were solved using different tools, such as radio communications, radio direction finding, radar and others. With the advent of global satellite navigation, the massive introduction of navigation equipment began in almost all areas of human activity and especially in mobile (moving) objects (cars, aircraft, ships, etc.). This allowed aircraft crews to accurately determine their coordinates in real time under any weather conditions. However, the organization of uninterrupted data transmission to ground control centers remained problematic. In this regard, aircraft monitoring systems were primarily installed on military and civil aircraft, while the other categories and types of aircraft were equipped only with communication systems. Thus, currently, there is the lack of navigation devices allowing flight monitoring and communication in small aviation. As a result, in case of emergency landing of small aircraft, it takes a lot of time and effort to find its location, therefore providing emergency assistance to passengers and crew is not possible. This problem can be solved by the system for determining the location of small aircraft using technologies of global navigation satellite systems and mobile satellite communications. This system includes devices for registering the location of the observed object, transmitting data via mobile cellular and satellite communications, processing, storage and displaying of data. The proposed system, by continuously recording and transmitting aircraft location data to the ground control center, helps minimize time and narrow the search area of the aircraft that made an emergency landing.

Herstoryczne porządki. Konflikt czy pluralizacja pamięci?
Authors: Kuźma Inga B. , Pietrzak Edyta B.
Published: January 2021

The issue of conflicts of memory is one of the more clearly outlined areas in contemporary Polish discourses of memory. One of its manifestations is Herstory, which involves discovering the forgotten history of women and restoring their rightful place in the public sphere, which also translates directly into issues of social and national identity, and historical policy. In the article we try to decide whether and to what extent herstory as a research approach create a caesura in the memory studies? We put the thesis about the existence of two oppositional currents – the alternative and radical turns of memory, and we are proving that herstory does not so much fit into this opposition as it functions across it, building pluralist discourse. Due to the specific nature of the data used in the text and their transdisciplinary nature, and given the anthropological and political research perspectives that are close to us, we base our research and conclusions on Gadamer’s hermeneutics, without which it is difficult to speak of both interpretationism and herstory itself.

Psychological Resilience Scale (PRS-11), Trait Forgivingness (dispositional) Scale, The scale of psychological well-being, Freiburg Personality Inventory, Hardiness Test, Mental Health Outcome Measures (Depression and Anxiety (BSI – 12)), Overall Self-efficacy Scale were applied. Reliability of measures was assessed by adopting McDonald’s omega. Pearson’s correlation coefficient to test the features of the relationship between tendency to forgive and psychological resilience was investigated. The multiple regression analysis for the factors of psychological resilience was performed. The higher level of tendency to forgiveness is connected with higher level of psychological resilience. The higher level of psychological resilience is connected with higher level of hardiness, control, and resistance to stress. Negative correlations were found between psychological resilience and spontaneous aggressiveness, neuroticism, irritability, depression (BSI – 12), depressiveness (FPI), emotional instability, anxiety, shyness. The important factors of psychological resilience were identified by the study. High levels of challenge, personal growth, sociability, control, tendency to forgiveness, personal self-efficacy, commitment, self-acceptance, management of the environment increase the psychological resilience.

Recipe of Poor Performance: Case of a Misaligned Organisational Architecture of a TVET Campus
Authors: Kanyangale MacDonald , Sibanda Reason
Published: January 2021

The objective of this qualitative study was to explore the nature of the organisational architecture of a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) campus according to the perspectives of students in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Twenty-two students in a TVET campus were selected using purposive sampling and interviewed to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to deduce relevant themes. The results reveal that the organisational architecture of the TVET campus had a twin strategy of active learning and assessment-led teaching that was cardinal, but inadequate for the learning needs of students, and misaligned by unsupportive systems, distant and disconnected style of management to respond to student's problems, shortage of good lecturers and lack of critical resources. Predominantly, students who had already failed in their course were active in cultivating dropout behaviour and culture among peers. The absence of workplace learning by students was a significant gap in the organisational architecture. Critical changes in management style, systems, staff, resources, student peer relations, and reinforcement of workplace learning are imperative if the organisational architecture of the TVET campus is to be re-aligned and effective as a pathway to work for the South African youths.

Published: January 2021

The production and presentation for public discussion of an end-of-programme project, thesis or dissertation are unavoidable elements for the conclusion of academic training in study programmes of various levels, namely bachelor’s, master’s and PhD. Although these end-of-programme projects may take on various forms, as well as different levels of demand, supervision in the production of these projects is one of the critical elements for their success. This article aims to analyse the supervision process, examining the supervision strategies that faculty members may mobilise in their role as academic supervisors. To this end, the authors carried out a bibliographic collection, which made it possible to substantiate the proposals set out throughout this piece of research. The results allow concluding that, to be effective and efficient, supervision strategies need to consider, as a basic assumption, that this is a pedagogical relationship, with asymmetric powers between the supervisor(s) and the student(s), in which it is paramount to acknowledge the different duties of each party. Furthermore, this relationship entails the need for flexibility on the part of the supervisor, taking into account both the characteristics of the supervisor and of the work designed and the development of the entire process, which may motivate and involve several supervision strategies in the same supervision over time/process. This whole dynamic takes place in a context where it seems important to (re)think the final product of the academic supervision process.

Cepsim sluokātni, paltes, plinckus…!
Authors: Bušmane Brigita
Published: January 2021

The nutrition and names related to it are an essential part of tangible and intangible folk culture. Among them, cereal products used thermally unprocessed or cooked or baked have played an important role for a long time.
This article deals with names for baked bread products of different ages not attested in Standard Latvian, thus under several aspects offering an insight into this thematic group of sub-dialectal vocabulary where certain changes based in both tangible and intangible folk culture can be observed over the centuries. These names occur in a wider or narrower area; they are of different origin and give evidence about language contacts, as well as reveal many linguistic phenomena characteristic to sub-dialects.
In the sub-dialects, borrowed names are most widespread, e. g. Germanisms pęnkuoks (with variants), plinkšķens, kūka, paltes, Slavisms bliņa (with variants), blinčiks, blinčuks (with variants), sitnieks. Also, the name sluokātnis formed in Latvian to denote a rather ancient dish related to the celebration of the Metenis festivity is spread in a wider area in the sub-dialects. The rest of inherited designations occur less frequently, some of them even in one (or several) particular sub-dialect(s), as the derivations lāpeniņš, lejnieks, plānīte.
The examined dialecticisms are reflecting diverse inner development trends in the sub-dialects, for instance, the quality change of vocalism (blina – blīna), insertion of the consonant r (sluokātnis – sluokārtnis), the interchange of voiced and voiceless noise consonants (pentuogs – pentuoks), the interchange of consonant clusters kst, kšķ and šķ (plinkstenis, plinkšķęns, plinšķęns), the use of the affixes -en-, -in- characteristic to nutrition vocabulary (plinkšķene, plinkšķins), as well as the interchange of word stems spread in the sub-dialects (e. g. blina, blinis, blins, bline).
Kādas ādas atrodam 17. gadsimta latviešu rakstu avotos
Authors: Frīdenberga Anna
Published: January 2021

In the article, the word āda, which is the entry for the Historical Dictionary of Latvian (16th–17th centuries), as well as other formatives with this word and word groups, are discussed. In the 17th century’s texts, the word āda is frequently used in two meanings – ‘skin (human or animal)’ and ‘leather’; there are also characteristic word groups with this word. Writing the Historical Dictionary, different problematic questions appear, this time mainly connected with the semantics of word groups, derivatives, or compounds.
It is difficult to distinguish the free word groups from idioms, namely, to determine when the transfer of the sense has happened. In Latvian, the source of many idioms is the Bible, especially the first translation at the end of the 17th century (1685–1694) carried out by Ernst Glück. Therefore, considering Latvian texts of the 17th century, often a question appears, whether the word group is used in its direct meaning or it is an idiom, for example, āda niez ‘skin itches’, ādu dīrāt ‘to skin’, ādu noplēst ‘to rip off the skin’ etc.
The word āda has some interesting derivatives and compounds in the early texts, for example, priekšāda ‘foreskin’, ādminis ‘skinner’, ādainis ‘made from leather’ etc.
To discuss the semantics of words, word groups of the religious texts, a comparison with later translations of the Bible is very useful. The word āda in the 17th century’s texts is a component of such a unique word group as takas āda, meaning ‘leather of unknown animal’. To make conclusions about the name of this animal it probably would be useful to study the Bible texts in original languages.
