Purpose Ã¢Â€Â“ The goal of this study is to break down hospital service quality (SQ) into its different components from the patients point of view in Indias healthcare organizations. Design/methodology/approach Ã¢Â€Â“ To acquire patient perceptions, the study uses a questionnaire-survey methodology. Statistical approaches such as correlation and multiple regressions were used to analyse the data collected.. Findings Ã¢Â€Â“ Because patients are unable to completely assess the technical quality of healthcare treatments, they prioritise trustworthiness and safety. The study also found that in order to get a holistic view of their offerings, hospital service providers must first understand the demands of patients.. Research limitations/implications Ã¢Â€Â“ Due to a low response rate and other operational constraints, the study only recorded the perceptions of service receivers Ã¢Â€Â“ patients Ã¢Â€Â“ and the sample size of the study Ã¢Â€Â“ 200 patients and the studys results are dependent on the nature and number of respondents. Practical implications Ã¢Â€Â“ By comparing the mean values of the categories of Service quality, hospital administrators can benchmark their facilities against those of their competitors. The study also allows for a comparison of government and private hospital performance in terms of services provided.

The isolation of lectins by affinity chromatography with crosslinked hemicelluloses has been a common practice because of the variety of glycosides that they present, improving the isolation of different kinds of lectins, such as the galactose ligands.Lectins affinity for carbohydrates is so specific that a simple configuration of the chiral carbon can affect affinity, and there are lectins that are more related to alfa-galactosidic than beta-galactosidic residues, setting up that way, an anomeric recognition.The anomeric configuration of galactose residuesseems to have biological importance related to the behavior of some diseases and physiological processes. This work aimed to assess the anomeric recognition of two lectins reported as ÃƒÂƒÃ‚ÂŽÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â²-galactose ligands (PNA and ricin) and two lectins reported as ÃƒÂƒÃ‚ÂŽÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â±-galactose ligands (frutalin and jacalin) in two types of hemicellulose (xyloglucan of Tamarindus indica and galactomannan of Caesalpinia pulcherrima), subsequently crosslinked and used as chromatographic matrices. As a result,chromatographic profiles and retained fractions suggested preferential anomeric recognition by lectins for the hemicelluloses crosslinked. The galactomannan matrix retained 0,5mg of PNA lectin and 2,3mg of ricin lectin; meanwhile, the xyloglucan matrix retained 3,4mg of PNA and 3,2mg of ricin; results obtained by applying 5 mg of lectin. Ricin expresses a visible flexibility in anomeric recognition, while PNA shows a restricted recognition of ÃƒÂƒÃ‚ÂŽÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â²-galactose residues.Frutalin and jacalin did not show recognition of the xyloglucan matrix. This work proposes using hemicellulose reticles with epichlorohydrin as affinity chromatographic matrices for anomeric studies on recognizing galactose binding lectins.

Predictive value of accruals and the moderating role of company size: Empirical evidence from Jordan
Authors: Fawzi Shubita Mohammad
Published: August 2021

The cash flow statement aids the management to ascertain the profitability and liquidity position of a company. One can understand from the cash flow statement how efficiently the company is paying its obligation in various forms of liability and expense. This study aimed to explore the ability of short-term accounting accruals to predict cash flows. The sample included 77 Jordanian companies listed between 2006–2019. Cash flows were measured by net operating cash flows, and short-term accounting accruals were expressed as: change in account receivable, change in accounts payable, change in inventories, and other accruals. The results demonstrated the ability of short-term accounting accruals to predict future cash flows. The relationship between future cash flows and the short-term accounting accruals was significant, except for its relationship to the change in accounts payable. However, the findings indicate that the size of the company has not moderated the relationship between accounting accruals and operating cash flow. The study recommends using other accounting items besides short-term accounting accruals, to improve their ability to predict future cash flows and use of control variables that can increase the predictive power of the study model, such as financial leverage and company size.

Bu çalışmada Uygur edebiyatının 19. yüzyıl temsilcilerinden Turdi Nâzım’ın Kitâb-ı Garîbî adlı eseri, ses ve şekil bilgisi bakımından incelenmiştir. İncelemeye esas eser önce transkripsiyonlu olarak Latin harflerine aktarılmış, daha sonra kelimeler ses ve şekil incelemesi yapılmak üzere dizinlenmiştir. Garîbî mahlasını kullanan Turdi Nâzım’ın eserinin el yazması nüshası hâlen bulunamamıştır. İnceleme yaptığımız eser ise H.1320 yılında (1902-1903) Bulgaristan’ın Şumnu şehrinde faaliyet yürüten Y. Avid Aranyan’ın matbaasında basılmış ve okuyucusuyla buluşmuştur. Kitâb-ı Garîbî gerek ses bilgisi gerekse şekil bilgisi bakımından incelenmesi gereken bir eserdir. Özellikle metinde karşımıza çıkan ses değişimleri eserin önemini Türk dili ile ilgilenenler için arttırmıştır. Turdi Nâzım eserine Kitâb-ı Garîbî demekle birlikte kitabın girişinde isim olarak “Ottuz Ėkki Eṣnāfıŋ Birbiri ile Gep Talaşḳanı” kaydı vardır. Dolayısıyla metinde otuz iki meslek grubuna dâhil kişilerin birbiri ile münakaşalarına yer verilmiştir. Bu münakaşalar Turdi Nâzım’ın şiir yeteneğini ortaya koymaktadır. Eser, aruzun fe‛ûlün/fe‛ûlün/fe‛ûlün/fe‛ül vezninde kaleme alınmıştır. Şairin aruz hâkimiyeti eserin değerini bir kez daha arttırmıştır. Eserin dilini Çağatay Türkçesinin son dönemine dâhil edebiliriz. Şairin kendi ağız özelliklerinin gerek yapı, gerekse kelime hazinesi olarak eserine katmasının önemli olduğunu düşünüyoruz.

Published: August 2021

The degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) by Fe3O4/persulfate system was investigated in aqueous solution. The influences of the initial concentrations of Fe3O4, persulfate (PS) and BPA, pH value, and initial reaction temperature on BPA removal were studied. The radical species was investigated by adding excessive dose of scavenger (methanol (MeOH) and tert-butanol (TBA)) into Fe3O4/PS system for the purpose of radical scavenging. The degradation products of BPA were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The recyclability of Fe3O4 was also evaluated. The BPA removal rate of 80.7% was achieved under the following conditions: [BPA]0 = 1 mg L-1, [PS]0 = 0.2 mM, [Fe3O4]0 = 0.1 g L-1, T0 = 20 ± 1 ºC, pH0 = 6.8 ± 0.2. The results confirmed that the main free radicals in the reaction process were sulfate radicals, followed by hydroxyl radicals. Some intermediate products of BPA degradation, such as phenols, benzoquinones and benzoic acid were identified by GC-MS.

Sometidos a esclavitud: los africanos y sus descendientes en el Caribe hispano contribuye al estudio de la historia Atlántica en la que la esclavización de millones de africanos fue uno de principales factores que generaron e impulsaron el desarrollo del mundo moderno. La formación de redes comerciales, compañías mercantiles y negocios particulares contribuyeron a conectar mundos y a hacerlos interdependientes. Junto a las mercancías, individuos y productos, viajaron ideas y tradiciones que fueron tejiendo la historia atlántica. En ella, la esclavización, los esclavizados y los afrodescendientes fueron y son partes destacadas, como muestra su legado presente de las culturas americanas. Estos estudios de la obra se suman a investigaciones que, desde distintos países, proyectos, grupos de investigación y enfoques, se están realizando sobre un tema tan rico, diverso y complejo como es la esclavitud atlántica. El espacio temporal que recorren los capítulos se prolonga en el tiempo como lo hizo la trata y el sistema esclavista. Lo mismo ocurre con los territorios afectados por este fenómeno. Su cartografía es una larga sombra que se expande por el mundo atlántico desde el siglo XVI hasta las últimas décadas del siglo XIX. Distintos actores y puntos de África, Europa y América emergen como protagonistas del sometimiento, el comercio y la esclavización de más de doce millones y medio de africanos.
Zdroworozsądkowe a filozoficzne poznanie atrybutów Boga
Authors: Sieńkowski Marcin
Published: August 2021

Problem rozważany w tym artykule dotyczy relacji między zdroworozsądkowym a filozoficznym (realistycznym) poznaniem atrybutów Boga. Na przykładzie wszechmocy, wszechwiedzy i wszechobecności Boga dochodzi się do wniosku, że w oparciu o bezpośrednio daną rzeczywistość i przy zastosowaniu tylko poznania zdroworozsądkowego człowiek nie doświadcza tego rodzaju własności w świecie, lecz przypisuje je Bogu. Natomiast sam z siebie nie potrafi ich uzasadnić. Kwestią uzasadnienia problemów, powstających na gruncie poznania potocznego, zajmuje się m.in. filozofia. Dlatego przyjmuje się, że filozofia koryguje i uzupełnia poznanie przednaukowe. Jednakże dla samego orientowania się i uznania wspomnianych przymiotów Boga poznanie zdroworozsądkowe jest wystarczające.

An Artificial Neural Network Prediction Model for Posttraumatic Epilepsy: Retrospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Xueping , Zhong Jie , Lei Ting , Chen Deng , Wang Haijiao , Zhu Lina , Chu Shanshan , Liu Ling
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a common sequela after traumatic brain injury (TBI), and identifying high-risk patients with PTE is necessary for their better treatment. Although artificial neural network (ANN) prediction models have been reported and are superior to traditional models, the ANN prediction model for PTE is lacking.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to train and validate an ANN model to anticipate the risks of PTE.

METHODS

The training cohort was TBI patients registered at West China Hospital. We used a 5-fold cross-validation approach to train and test the ANN model to avoid overfitting; 21 independent variables were used as input neurons in the ANN models, using a back-propagation algorithm to minimize the loss function. Finally, we obtained sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of each ANN model from the 5 rounds of cross-validation and compared the accuracy with a nomogram prediction model built in our previous work based on the same population. In addition, we evaluated the performance of the model using patients registered at Chengdu Shang Jin Nan Fu Hospital (testing cohort 1) and Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital (testing cohort 2) between January 1, 2013, and March 1, 2015.

RESULTS

For the training cohort, we enrolled 1301 TBI patients from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2017. The prevalence of PTE was 12.8% (166/1301, 95% CI 10.9%-14.6%). Of the TBI patients registered in testing cohort 1, PTE prevalence was 10.5% (44/421, 95% CI 7.5%-13.4%). Of the TBI patients registered in testing cohort 2, PTE prevalence was 6.1% (25/413, 95% CI 3.7%-8.4%). The results of the ANN model show that, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in the training cohort was 0.907 (95% CI 0.889-0.924), testing cohort 1 was 0.867 (95% CI 0.842-0.893), and testing cohort 2 was 0.859 (95% CI 0.826-0.890). Second, the average accuracy of the training cohort was 0.557 (95% CI 0.510-0.620), with 0.470 (95% CI 0.414-0.526) in testing cohort 1 and 0.344 (95% CI 0.287-0.401) in testing cohort 2. In addition, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values and negative predictors in the training cohort (testing cohort 1 and testing cohort 2) were 0.80 (0.83 and 0.80), 0.86 (0.80 and 0.84), 91% (85% and 78%), and 86% (80% and 83%), respectively. When calibrating this ANN model, Brier scored 0.121 in testing cohort 1 and 0.127 in testing cohort 2. Compared with the nomogram model, the ANN prediction model had a higher accuracy (P=.01).

CONCLUSIONS

This study shows that the ANN model can predict the risk of PTE and is superior to the risk estimated based on traditional statistical methods. However, the calibration of the model is a bit poor, and we need to calibrate it on a large sample size set and further improve the model.
Investigating Unhealthy Alcohol Use As an Independent Risk Factor for Increased COVID-19 Disease Severity: Observational Cross-sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Bhalla Sameer , Sharma Brihat , Smith Dale , Boley Randy , McCluskey Connor , Ilyas Yousaf , Afshar Majid , Balk Robert , Karnik Niranjan , Keshavarzian Ali
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) is known to disrupt pulmonary immune mechanisms and increase the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with pneumonia; however, little is known about the effects of UAU on outcomes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. To our knowledge, this is the first observational cross-sectional study that aims to understand the effect of UAU on the severity of COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to determine if UAU is associated with more severe clinical presentation and worse health outcomes related to COVID-19 and if socioeconomic status, smoking, age, BMI, race/ethnicity, and pattern of alcohol use modify the risk.

METHODS

In this observational cross-sectional study that took place between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, we ran a digital machine learning classifier on the electronic health record of patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via nasopharyngeal swab or had two COVID-19 International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes to identify patients with UAU. After controlling for age, sex, ethnicity, BMI, smoking status, insurance status, and presence of ICD-10 codes for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, we then performed a multivariable regression to examine the relationship between UAU and COVID-19 severity as measured by hospital care level (ie, emergency department admission, emergency department admission with ventilator, or death). We used a predefined cutoff with optimal sensitivity and specificity on the digital classifier to compare disease severity in patients with and without UAU. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, smoking status, and insurance status.

RESULTS

Each incremental increase in the predicted probability from the digital alcohol classifier was associated with a greater odds risk for more severe COVID-19 disease (odds ratio 1.15, 95% CI 1.10-1.20). We found that patients in the unhealthy alcohol group had a greater odds risk to develop more severe disease (odds ratio 1.89, 95% CI 1.17-3.06), suggesting that UAU was associated with an 89% increase in the odds of being in a higher severity category.

CONCLUSIONS

In patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, UAU is an independent risk factor associated with greater disease severity and/or death.
Role of the Postcolonial Translator
Authors: Alonso-Breto Isabel
Published: August 2021

This essay consists of a meditation upon the emotions, affects and ethical compromises which surround the translation of texts as complex and delicate as Bharati Mukherjee’s short story “The Management of Grief”. This well-known piece of fiction offers a very painful account of how the families of the victims of the Air India Flight 182 attack in 1985 managed to survive the enormous grief of losing their loved ones in such abrupt, violent and unjust manner. The essay author, who decided to translate this story into Spanish so that it could be enjoyed by a wider readership, shares her thoughts regarding the demands of such painful yet necessary task. The whole area of Postcolonial Studies, where she develops her scholarly career, is unfortunately rife with such testing moments, and she wonders about the convenience or even the pertinence of such scholarly/textual interventions.

Authors: Leman Michael Andreas , Claramita Mora , Rahayu Gandes Retno
Published: August 2021

Background: A medical teacher as a healthy role-model has a critical role in supporting health promotion effectiveness in medical school. However, an instrument to measure the characteristics of the medical teacher as a healthy role-models is unavailable. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to evaluate these characteristics by analyzing a model from previous grounded theory.Methods: A total of 442 medical teachers at the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, were invited to participate. We used hierarchical component models (HCMs) to develop our path model. A partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) were then used to analyze this model.Results: Twenty-six items from seven constructs supports our model. The construct of socially healthy (SH) has the most substantial effect on constructing healthy people's characteristics (H). The constructs of healthy role-models (HRM) in medical schools are mainly influenced by healthy people characteristic (H).Conclusion: A questionnaire with 26 items grouped in these seven constructs showed good reliability and validity. Seven constructs have relevance to the characteristics of a healthy role-model in the medical school model.

Published: August 2021

Background: Currently, medical education program has implemented the student-centred education method by using Problem Based Learning (PBL) paradigm. One of its assessment methods is Student Oral Case Analysis (SOCA). This method determines the rhetorical and linguistic characteristics of students by using specific communication methods. An offline assessment is temporarily selected for the SOCA. Due to the pandemic, strict health protocols for medical education should be followed by any parties. As a result, there is a modification for learning method when offline (face-to-face) activities should be shifted to online activities, includes SOCA assessment. However, to meet the objective of the learning, the modification needs careful planning and implementation. This study aimed to describe about how The Faculty of Medicine, Prof. DR. Hamka Muhammadiyah University (UHAMKA) successfully carried out SOCA assessment for their students through online method.Case Discussion: During the outbreak of Covid-19 The Faculty of Medicine, UHAMKA, has changed SOCA assessment from offline mode to online mode by using Zoom application. Pre-exam preparation includes a review of the questions by the Medical Education Unit team, preparation of human resources (examiners, supervisors), and supporting applications. The assessment is conducted by applying some adjustments between medical learning activities and current health protocols.  Subsequently, upon completion of the assessment, an evaluation is conducted using a questionnaire and random interview technique.Conclusion: The Zoom platform’s online method is an effective option for SOCA assessment during the pandemic. It can be concluded that the exam was successfully implemented to the student and it produced relatively similar results with an offline exam. The online SOCA assessment at Faculty of Medicine UHAMKA was well organized without any serious problem.

Authors: Kang Namkil
Published: August 2021

The goal of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of the frequency of I was used to, I got used to, and I became used to in the Corpus of Contemporary American English and the British National Corpus. The COCA clearly shows that I was used to may be the most preferable one for Americans, followed by I got used to, and I became used to, in that order. When it comes to the genre frequency of the COCA, it is interesting to note that in the fiction genre, I was used to may be the most commonly used one. The BNC clearly indicates, on the other hand, that I was used to may be the most preferred by British people, followed by I got used to, and I became used to. With respect to the genre frequency of the BNC, it is interesting to note that in the fiction genre, I was used to may be the most widely used. When it comes to the frequency of was used to and nouns, the expression was used to measure is the most preferable one for Americans, followed by was used to people, was used to rate, was used to power, was used to fuel, was used to group, and was used to film. With respect to the frequency of was used to and gerunds, the expression was used to being is the most preferable one for Americans, followed by was used to seeing, was used to having, was used to getting, was used to doing, was used to doing, was used to working, was used to hearing, and was used to going, in that order. Additionally, the COCA shows that got used to life and got used to things are the most preferred ones in America, followed by got used to people, and got used to weapons (got used to walking, got used to violence, got used to name calling), in that order. The COCA also indicates that got used to being is the most preferable one for Americans, followed by got used to seeing, got used to having, got used to hearing, got used to wearing, got used to living, and got used to using (got used to doing). The COCA further shows that became used to seeing is the most preferred by Americans and followed by became used to writing (became used to tying, became used to talking).

Se probó la viabilidad del entrenamiento en un procedimiento de discriminación condicional encadenada para la adquisición de las discriminaciones condicionales y las relaciones derivadas en participantes de 5-11, 12-15 y 16-17 años. Brevemente, al inicio de un ensayo se presentó uno de cuatro estímulos de muestra (A) junto con cuatro estímulos de comparación (B); la elección del estímulo B correcto resultó en la presentación del estímulo B ahora como muestra acompañado de otros cuatro estímulos de comparación (C). La elección de los estímulos de comparación B y C correctos fue seguida por una consecuencia positiva y las elecciones incorrectas por el reinicio del ensayo. Los estímulos de muestra y de comparación fueron imágenes o palabras escritas de nombres de pintores (A), sus países de origen (B) y sus pinturas (C). Globalmente, se encontró que los participantes adquirieron las discriminaciones condicionales y las relaciones derivadas; y ya que éstas se adquirieron relativamente más rápido con imágenes que con palabras escritas como estímulos, los resultados sugieren una relación entre la edad y el tipo de estímulos. Estos hallazgos son relevantes a la literatura sobre la contribución del significado de los estímulos muestra o de comparación en los procedimientos de discriminación condicional.

En la agresión entre pares y el acoso escolar, se identifican tres grandes actores: agresores, víctimas y observadores. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los efectos de la desconexión moral, las prácticas parentales prosociales y la percepción de violencia sobre el comportamiento de los observadores defensores y alentadores en estudiantes de secundaria. Participaron 386 estudiantes pertenecientes a primero y segundo grado de una secundaria ubicada en el Estado de México. Los alumnos respondieron las siguientes escalas; Índice general de violencia escolar, desconexión moral, observadores de acoso, Inventario de comportamientos prosociales en el contexto escolar, Prácticas Parentales Prosociales. El instrumento se aplicó en cada grupo y cada alumno firmó un consentimiento informado. Se llevaron a cabo análisis de mediación y moderación. Los resultados indicaron que mientras aumenta el grado de acuerdo con los mecanismos de desconexión moral aumenta las conductas de observador agresor, lo mismo sucede con la violencia percibida entre pares. Por otro lado, se encontraron relaciones positivas y estadísticamente significativas entre las prácticas parentales prosociales, la conducta prosocial y la conducta de ser observador defensor; Se concluye que el aprendizaje socioemocional está relacionado con la crianza y la calidad de las interacciones familiares, las cuales son moderadas o mediadas por el contexto social en donde se ubican las familias y las escuelas.
Against the Revisionary Political Reading of Kelsen
Authors: García Berger Mario
Published: August 2021

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es rechazar la interpretación no-estándar acerca del valor de la teoría pura del derecho propuesta por Lars Vinx y, en me-nor medida, por David Dyzenhaus. De acuerdo con esta lectura, el mérito de la explica-ción kelseniana de la normatividad jurídica reside en su conexión con la filosofía política del propio Kelsen. Esta tesis se fundamenta en la idea de que la teoría pura falla en su intento de explicar la naturaleza del derecho, de modo que tiene que renunciar a su pre-tendida cientificidad y pureza. Mi propósito es mostrar que ambas ideas están equivoca-das y señalar una forma de entender el nexo entre la teoría pura y las ideas políticas de Kelsen que se apega a su concepción de la ciencia jurídica. También propongo una expli-cación de la relación entre ciencia jurídica, democracia, estado de derecho y principio de legalidad que incorpora elementos presentes en Kelsen.
La ética de Aristóteles en la evolución de la culpa jurídica. Una revisión a propósito de la previsibilidad
Authors: Inostroza Adasme Sonia
Published: August 2021

En el siglo IV a.C., Aristóteles aborda la diferencia entre ἁμάρτημα (ne-gligencia) y ἀδικημα (dolo). En consecuencia, distingue entre los actos voluntarios e invo-luntarios para de esta manera llegar al razonamiento 200 años antes que los juristas ro-manos. Si bien es cierto, no se puede afirmar una relación equivalente entre la culpa, tal como ésta fue concebida en el mundo griego, con el pensamiento del jurisconsulto romano, sí es posible encontrar particularmente en el tratamiento de los actos involuntarios la huella, el germen o esencia de la culpa estricta.

Single-plate fixation bridging bone defects provokes nonunion and risks plate-fatigue failure due to under- dimensioned implants. Adding a helical plate to bridge the fracture increases stiffness and balances load sharing. This study compares the stiffness and plate surface strain of different constructs in a transverse contact and gap femoral shaft fracture model. Eight groups of six synthetic femora each were formed: intact femora; intact femora with lateral locking plate; contact and gap transverse shaft osteotomies each with lateral locking plate, lateral locking plate and helical locking plate, and long proximal femoral nail. Constructs underwent non-destructive quasi-static axial and torsional loading. Plate surface strain evaluation was performed under 200 N axial loading. Constructs with both lateral and helical plates demonstrated similar axial and torsional stiffness– independent of the contact or gap situations – being significantly higher compared to lateral plating (p < 0.01). Torsional stiffness of the constructs, with both lateral and helical plates in the gap situation, was significantly higher compared to this situation stabilised by a nail (p < 0.01). Plate surface strain dropped from 0.3 % in the gap situation with a lateral plate to < 0.1 % in this situation with both a lateral and a helical plate. Additional helical plating increases axial and torsional construct stiffness in synthetic bone and seems to provide well-balanced load sharing. Its use should be considered in very demanding situations for gap or defect fractures, where single-plate osteosynthesis provides inadequate stiffness for fracture healing and induces nonunion.

It is four degrees of freedom parallel configuration used for very high speed pick and place operations. The objectives of this report are designing a Delta robot capable of carrying 1kg payload, achieving a cycle rate of 120 cycles per minute covering a work volume of 400x300x200 mm3. The project involves Kinematic & Dynamic modeling of the robot for the above specifications. The kinematic parameters, involving the lengths of the bicep and forearm, are calculated based on the work volume requirements and the dynamic parameters, involving the motor torque and speed, are calculated based on the maximum acceleration requirements and the inertia of the system. The project further involves the structural analysis of the robot which deals with the proper sizing of the mechanical structure which should be capable of withstanding the high torque and acceleration required for smooth and fast motion. The future work involves integrating the mechanical system with the control system and programming the system for a particular application

Using fuzzy inference to plan capital repairs and reconstruction of public buildings
Authors: Ganzen Evgeny V.
Published: August 2021

Introduction. The article analyzes the determinants that condition the incorporation of public buildings into capital repair and reconstruction plans (CRR plan). These include the technical condition of a facility, specified in an expert opinion and identified on the basis of the survey results, the duration of effective operation, determined in accordance with guideline values, the work performance time, the availability of the engineering and transport infrastructure, and other factors.

Materials and methods. The co-authors formulated fuzzy inference rules and compiled a table of expert opinions issued on their basis. To implement the fuzzy inference procedure, the co-authors applied the Mamdani algorithm, the min-conjunction for aggregating indicators, the max-disjunction for accumulating conclusions, and the centre of gravity method to ensure defuzzification. The Editor of Fuzzy Output Systems of the MatLab package is used to implement the proposed fuzzy inference pattern. The Saati hierarchy method is used to design membership functions (FP). The analysis of literature sources did not identify any works in which fuzzy logic methods or fuzzy inference rules were used to plan the CRR of public buildings.

Results. Membership functions for all factors and the final indicator on the selected scale, corresponding to the Harrington desirability function in the range of values [0; 100], are designed. The results of the implementation of the proposed fuzzy inference system in the MatLab environment are presented in the form of graphs and numerical values of all input linguistic variables.

Conclusions. Fuzzy inference allows to obtain the numerical value of the integral repair potential that underlies an informed decision about the incorporation of a facility into the CRR plan. The strength of the approach is the modifiability and expandability of the rule base in practical work. The proposed planning tool allows to consider a combination of principal factors, cut costs, reduce the time frame and improve the public building repair quality.
