Error Mitigation Algorithm Based on Bidirectional Fitting Method for Collision Avoidance of Unmanned Surface Vehicle
Authors: Song Lifei , Chen Zhuo , Mao Yunsheng , Dong Zaopeng , Xiang Zuquan
Published: January 2019

Radars and sensors are essential devices for an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) to detect obstacles. Their precision has improved significantly in recent years with relatively accurate capability to locate obstacles. However, small detection errors in the estimation and prediction of trajectories of obstacles may cause serious problems in accuracy, thereby damaging the judgment of USV and affecting the effectiveness of collision avoidance. In this study, the effect of radar errors on the prediction accuracy of obstacle position is studied on the basis of the autoregressive prediction model. The cause of radar error is also analyzed. Subsequently, a bidirectional adaptive filtering algorithm based on polynomial fitting and particle swarm optimization is proposed to eliminate the observed errors in vertical and abscissa coordinates. Then, simulations of obstacle tracking and prediction are carried out, and the results show the validity of the algorithm. Finally, the method is used to simulate the collision avoidance of USV, and the results show the validity and reliability of the algorithm.

Published: January 2019

Investigation of the embedded chains in soil starts to play an important role in understanding the structural performance of mooring system, when the embedded anchors will be employed to sustain large loads with the gradually growth of installation depth of offshore aquaculture farm. The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamic response of mooring line considering the influence of embedded chains in clay soil for net cage system. Lumped-mass method is used to establish the numerical model for evaluating the performance of mooring line with embedded chains. To validate the numerical model, comparisons of numerical results with the analytical formulas and the experimental data are conducted. A good agreement of the profile and the tension response is obtained. Then, the effect of embedded chains on the static and dynamic response of mooring line is evaluated, and the dynamic behavior of mooring system considering embedded chains for net cage system is investigated. The results indicate that the soil resistance on embedded chains should be included to predict the mooring line development and the load on the embedded anchors in the numerical simulations. An appropriate safety factor should be included if employing the simplified model Case C at the initial design phase. And the effect of embedded chains on the holding capacity of embedded anchors in single-point mooring system for single net cage cannot be negligible during the design and operation phases. Consequently, it is profound to take into account the interaction of embedded chains and soil for accurately predicting the reliability of mooring system for fish cage.
Estimation of Buckling Response of the Deck Panel in Axial Compression
Authors: Ozguc Ozgur
Published: January 2019

In this work, buckling strength assessment of a deck of a double hull oil tanker is carried out using the non-linear finite element code ADVANCE ABAQUS. The comparisons are performed with the Det Norske Veritas (DNV-GL) PULS (Panel Ultimate Limit State) buckling code for the stiffened panels, DNV-GL Classification Notes (CN) No.30.1 and the DNV-GL Ship Rules. The case studied corresponds to axial compression. Two levels of imperfection tolerances are analyzed, in accordance with the specifications in the DNV-GL Instruction to Surveyors (IS) and the DNV-GL Classification Notes No. 30.1. Both “as built” and DNV-GL Rule “net” dimensions are analyzed. The strength values from ADVANCE ABAQUS and PULS are very close. DNV-GL CN 30.1 is in conservative side, but the strength differences between the “as built” and “net” dimension cases are consistent with the finite element analysis results. This paper gives a brief description of the background for the stiffened panel models used in PULS, and comparison against non-linear FE analysis, and DNV-GL Classification Society Rules. The finite element code ADVANCE ABAQUS is employed in a non-linear buckling analysis of a stiffened deck panel on a double skin tanker that is subjected to a Condition Assessment Program (CAP) hull survey. The aim of the analyses has been to validate and compare the buckling capacity estimates obtained from PULS, DNV-GL Classification Notes No.30.1 (CN 30.1) and the DNV-GL Ship Rules.
A Concept of Determining the Relation between Load and Wear of Tribological Systems of Ship Main Selfignition Engines by Using Probabilistic Approach
Authors: Girtler Jerzy
Published: January 2019

This paper presents a proposal of simultaneous consideration of load and wear associated with it , of tribological systems of ship main engines (intended for ship propulsion) . Based on results of investigations it was assumed that both the load Q (i.e. a cause of wear ) and the wear Z (i.e. an effect of load occurrence) considered in a given time t (0 ≤ t ≤ tn) are random variables Qt and Zt ,respectively. There was characterized operational principle of ship main engines in definite external conditions (WZ) as well as consequences of excessive load of engines. Three hypotheses highlighting relations existing between load and wear of the above mentioned systems, have been proposed. The first of them deals with explanation of stochastic relation between load and wear, the second highlights why it is possible to assume that the load Qt and the wear Zt are positively correlated , and the third - why it is possible to assume that coefficient of correlation between Qt and Zt may be taken close to one.
Degradation of the Concrete Railway Track Bed Located in the Vicinity of the Loading Wharf
Authors: Niedostatkiewicz Maciej
Published: January 2019

The following article describes the damages of the concrete railway track bed at the place of unloading petroleum products located in the immediate vicinity of the cargo berth. The concrete of the track bed has been a subject to degradation as a result of many years of exploitation resulting, inter alia, in its cyclical flooding of petroleum products during the unloading and loading of rail tankers. Repairs carried out in the previous period involving the reprofiling of the top part of the board proved to be ineffective. Methods of repairing existing damages have been proposed. Due to the need to limit the time of excluding the track from operation, the repair works were divided into two stages - ad hoc, intended for urgent implementation, and target, to be carried out as a major overhaul.

Authors: Nitipir Cornelia , Popa Ana Maria , Orlov-Slavu Cristina
Published: January 2019

Giant cell tumors of the bone are tumors whose malignant character has long been debated. Lung metastases have been reported in some cases. They usually represent osteolytic, locally aggressive bone tumors for which surgery is the standard of care. Denosumab is the most effective systemic treatment in these cases, but both the timing and the duration are a matter of debate. The aim of this short review was to describe the most important trials that treated patients with this drug and to discuss both advantages and long-term toxicity. It can be concluded from the presented data that the choice of adding denosumab in the treatment sequence of giant cell tumor of the bone has to be taken in a personalized manner for each patient.

Authors: Horokhivska Tetiana
Published: January 2019

The article deals with the trends in developing professional pedagogical competency of lecturers in the scientific and educational space of the leading EU countries. Specific attention is paid to the analysis of the approaches to determining core competencies required for professional growth, as well as components and criteria for developing professional pedagogical competency in the education systems of the UK, Germany, France, Austria, the Netherlands, Dennmark, Finland. It is highlighted that despite the availability of relevant documents in an integrated Europe, which contain the conceptual framework for acquiring core (basic) competencies, the terms and their criteria differ in each country. It is indicated that in the European Union there is no single approach to understanding the essence, ways and methods for shaping and developing professional pedagogical competency. It is specified that professional pedagogical competency occupies the most important place among the main competencies of lecturers since it is directly related to the performance of professioal duties. It is clarified that when defining the essence of professional pedagogical competency the EU experts pay considerable attention to such qualities of lecturers as the ability to independently solve complex tasks, acquire new knowledge and skills, have a positive view of one’s own personality, fruitfully communicate with students and colleagues. It is concluded that the current research made it possible to prove a clear orientation of these countries’ state policy towards developing the potential of lecturers, the availability of legal foundations required to ensure support and integrity of lecturers’ professional development, a high level of organization and methodical support of the programmes for lecturers’ professional development, which are characterized by clear goals and expected outcomes.
Police Training in the System of Professional Training for Federal Police Force in Germany
Authors: Isaieva Ilona
Published: January 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of organizing and conducting trainings in the system of professional training of personnel of the Federal Police of Germany (BPOL). The main focus is on the organization of training on the use of weapons, coercive means, situational training. It has been found out that during the exercises of firing proficiency not only the skills of marksmanship are worked out, but also various complex situational trainings are carried out, which reflect the situations of daily activities of the police and require them to take appropriate action (the correct contention resolution in terms of tactics of action and the lawfulness and decision making on the use or non-use of weapons). As a result of the use of general scientific methods for the analysis, synthesis and generalization of information of directive / documents, orders, scientific and didactic sources as well as studying and generalizing the pedagogical experience of organizing trainings for BPOL personnel, it was found that in the development of situational trainings and training on the use of weapons, coercive means and own security, the trainers of BPOL were guided by both traditional “linear” and “nonlinear” pedagogical principles for organization of training exercises. On the basis of the generalization of the research results, it has been established that the situations that are developed for such trainings are constantly updated and correspond to the realities of time. At the heart of all scenarios, there are nine standard police cases: police communication, personal identification, detention, search of persons, transportation of detainees, vehicle control, first medical aid, collection of materials for identification and its entry into the database, search of premises and belongings. While assessing the actions of a policeman in solving a situation, the trainers take into account: communication skills (both with the partner and with the “opponent”), tactics of action, compliance with the requirements of self-defence, the correct use of coercive means, the lawfulness of all measures taken, the provision of first medical care, achievement of a goal (solution of a situation).
On an Increasingly Yield Curve of Knowledge
Authors: Dinga Emil
Published: January 2019

The paper examines the behaviour of the yield curve of the knowledge considered as production factor. The concepts of complementarity and substitutability among classical production factors are revisited in order to put the bases to analyse the special production factor (a species of the neo-production factors) namely knowledge. In this context, some distinctions are made between information and knowledge putting in view the added value of knowledge related to information. Some graphical construction and algebraic formalisms are convoked in order to better ground the final conclusions regarding the increasing nature of the knowledge yield curve in the knowledge-based society. The approach is preponderantly logic and conceptualized, trying to get general results which could then be tested, by other researchers, in order either to corroborate or to reject them.

Authors: Herciu Mihaela , Ogrean Claudia
Published: January 2019

Business sustainable competitiveness is a very complex concept. This complexity generates a variety of possibilities to define, to measure and to test it. The purpose of the paper is to develop the concept of businessness (for business sustainable competitiveness) by leveraging productivity, profitability, effectiveness and sustainability, at firm level. The interrelations between them, in terms of revenues per employee, return on assets, total assets turnover and Dow Jones Sustainability Index, were integrated into models/functions in order to develop, test and apply businessness. The article is about proposing functions (by using multiple discriminant analysis) in order to measure business sustainable competitiveness (businessness). The hypotheses and functions were tested using a sample of 500 companies (2000 observations) from Global Fortune 500. The results showed that there are direct and positive interrelations between the following items: number of employees, revenues, net income and total assets, but with different degree of correlations between groups. Therefore, it is very important to consider industry/group when conducting an analysis on business sustainable competitiveness.

Authors: Mursa Gabriel Claudiu , Iacobuţă Andreea-Oana , Zanet Maria
Published: January 2019

Over the last decades, youth unemployment has attracted serious attention of the public, politicians and researchers of social phenomena. Economic and sociological literature of the past 20-30 years abounds in studies aiming at clarifying the causes of this phenomenon. Statistical data show that youth unemployment rate is twice or even three times higher than the rate of general unemployment. Also, there are major discrepancies in youth unemployment rates across countries. The main purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the evolution of this phenomenon and to present and debate on the main factors causing its high rates in several European countries. Both objective factors such as, educational system, government policy on wages and education etc. and subjective ones, related to the role of family, traditions, mentality, habits etc., are discussed.

Language and Hate Speech Aspects in the Public Sphere Case Study: Republic of Macedonia
Authors: Poshka Agim
Published: January 2019

The issue of hate speech is widely present in the Balkan Peninsula and although it has a serious impact in inter-ethnic and inter-religious relations, it has never been addressed properly by the academia or the judicial systems. This paper aims to outline the main principles that define hate speech from the linguistic and legal perspective. Throughout the paper several international cases of hate speech are cited along with the measures that western European countries take in order to minimize the level of stereotypes and public discrimination. In the second part, the paper brings examples from degrading hate speech cases coming from public figures in Macedonia. In addition, a few comparative cases from the international practice have been cited in order to perceive if an egalitarian society is possible in Macedonia from the aspect of language usage without the hatred constituents by aiming to develop an acceptable public discourse for all.
Bearing Capacity of Slender Concrete Columns
Authors: Strauss Alfred , Zimmermann Thomas , Spyridis Panagiotis , Täubling Benjamin
Published: January 2019

The European standard for the design of concrete structures using nonlinear methods contains a deficit in global reliability for cases when concrete columns fail due to a loss of stability before reaching the design resistance in the critical cross-sections. A buckling failure is a brittle failure which occurs without warning, and the probability of its formation is markedly influenced by the slenderness of the column. The calculation results presented herein are compared with the results from experimental data. The paper aims to compare the global reliability of slender concrete columns with a slenderness of 90 and higher. The columns are designed according to the methods stated in EN 1992-1-1, namely, a general nonlinear method and methods based on nominal stiffness and nominal curvature. The mentioned experiments also served, on the one hand, as a basis for the deterministic nonlinear modeling of the columns and, subsequently, for the probabilistic evaluation of the variability of the structural response. Finally, the results may be utilized as thresholds for the loading of the structural elements produced. The paper aims at presenting a probabilistic design that is less conservative than the classic partial safety factor-based design and alternative ECOV method.
Evaluation of the Status of Real Property in Rural Areas
Authors: Hudecová Ľubica , Geisse Robert
Published: January 2019

Municipalities have a great deal of interest in land consolidation. Deciding which municipality is going to be prioritized for land consolidation is not easy; a unified universal selection procedure does not currently exist. The article proposes a procedure for assessing land ownership in a municipality. Municipalities with the worst ratings should be prioritized for land consolidation. The selection of evaluation parameters and their classification into groups is the result of previous experience. The parameters cover a broad spectrum of variables, economic conditions, the spatial structure of the agricultural land, the fragmentation of land and land ownership, the ecological stability of the land, territorial endangerment as well as natural conditions, technical limitations, and other regional specifics. The proposed quantification of the status of real property can be used with the aim of prioritizing municipalities, even with a variable number of evaluation parameters. To test the proposed algorithm, analyses were carried out in three municipalities located in west Slovakia. The municipalities were ranked according to the need to perform land consolidation
Variable Parameter Multilinear Muskingum Method: Case Study on the Danube River
Authors: Danáčová Michaela , Szolgay Ján
Published: January 2019

The Muskingum method is based on a linear relationship between a channel’s storage and inflow and outflow discharges. The applicability of using travel-time discharge relationships to model the variability of the K parameter in a Muskingum routing model was tested. The new parameter estimation method is based on the relationships between the traveltime parameter (K) and the input discharge for the reach of the Danube River between Devín-Bratislava and Medveďov, which includes the Gabčíkovo hydropower scheme. The variable parametrisation method was compared with the classical approach. The parameter X was taken as the average of its values from a small set of flood waves, K was estimated as a function of the travel-time parameter and discharge, which was optimized for one flood wave. The results were validated using the Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient on 5 floods. The results obtained by these methods were satisfactory and, with their use, one could reduce the amount of data required for calibration in practical applications.
Diagnosis of Erodible Locations in River Bends Using a Combined Method (GIS, RS and the CCHE2D Model) (Case Study: The Karkheh River in Iran)
Authors: Adib Arash , Gafouri Hamid Reza , Liaghat Ali
Published: January 2019

In this research, a combined method was developed to determine the erodibility of bends in the Karkheh River. For this purpose, a 40 km reach of the Karkheh River downstream of the Karkheh Dam was considered. The value of the shear stress was the calculated using the CCHE2D model. The results from the model show that in 1996 (before construction of the Karkheh dam), the length of the erodible reach was 1314 m; in 2011 (after construction of the Karkheh dam), this length was reduced to 840 m. Furthermore, the model illustrates that the location of the maximum shear stress is a function of the relative curvature (R/W) in the bends. For small values of the R/W (less than 1.5), the maximum shear stress occurs on the convex bank of a river bend. By increasing the R/W, the location of the maximum shear stress transfers to the concave bank of the river bend. Also, this location is displaced towards downstream by increasing the R/W.
Latinx/Chicanx Students on the Path to Conocimiento: Critical Reflexivity Journals as Tools for Healing and Resistance in the Trump Era
Authors: Fernández Jesica Siham , Magaña Gamero Alejandra
Published: January 2019

Anzaldúa’s concept of conocimiento guides our analysis of Latinx/Chicanx students’ Critical Reflexivity Journals (CRJ) produced in an Ethnic Studies classroom at a predominantly-white institution. Through a thematic analysis procedure of students’ CRJ entries, which we describe as written testimonios, we discerned how Latinx/Chicanx students’ writings engaged their identities, reflexivity, healing, and resistance on a path toward conocimiento. Grounding our theoretical and empirical analysis in Anzaldúan thought, conocimiento is characterized by a deep reflexive critical consciousness that unfolds across seven interconnected stages. Conocimiento builds toward a liberatory transformation that Anzaldúa describes as spiritual activism, the seventh and final stage of conocimiento. The sociohistorical, culturally relevant, and student-centered curricula purported in Ethnic Studies is the focus of much scholarly writings. Our work contributes to this growing theoretical, empirical and pedagogical scholarship by specifically focusing on conocimiento. Through an Anzaldúa centered analysis of Latinx/Chicanx students’ CRJ we demonstrate how reflexive writings can facilitate students’ process of identity formation, reflexivity, healing and resistance from colonial forms of knowledge and oppression. This is especially important when considering the racist and violent sociopolitical context under the Trump Administration.
Praxis of Resilience & Resistance: “We can STOP Donald Trump” and Other Messages from Immigrant Children
Authors: Rodriguez Vega Silvia
Published: January 2019

In 2018 there have been constant anti-immigrant rhetoric, policies, and enforcement. Most recently, Trump referred to immigrant children as “future criminals” who needed to be kept in prison-like detention centers and “tender age facilities” (Min Kim, 2018). Meanwhile, the 4.5 million children of immigrants already in the US continue to face possibilities of family separation due to this enforcement-focused political system (Suárez-Orozco et al., 2015). The goal of this article is to provide insight into the lives of one of the most vulnerable and fastest growing populations in the U.S.—immigrant children. As a researcher and educator, I developed an art-centered methodological and pedagogical tool that can serve those working with immigrant children and vulnerable populations. Over a two-year period, I used artistic tools such as drawings, storyboards, Teatro Campesino’s actos, and various techniques from Theater of the Oppressed (Boal, 2000) to work with children of immigrants in a sixth-grade class of English Language Learners (ELL) in Los Angeles. Through educational, artistic, and anecdotal components of their work, these children created a world where they could resist and fight Trump and share that victory by utilizing the transformative imaginary of art.

The key aspects of corpus-based teaching are the authenticity of material, Interdisiplinarity, empirical adequacy, adjustment to particular tasks and target groups, possibility of self-tuition.
Diacylfuroxans Are Masked Nitrile Oxides That Inhibit GPX4 Covalently
Authors: Eaton John , Ruberto Richard A. , Kramm Anneke , Viswanathan Vasanthi S. , Schreiber Stuart
Published: January 2019

GPX4 represents a promising yet difficult-to-drug therapeutic target for the treatment of, among others, drug-resistant cancers. While most GPX4 inhibitors rely on a chloroacetamide moiety to modify covalently the protein’s catalytic selenocysteine residue, the discovery and mechanistic elucidation of structurally diverse GPX4-inhibiting molecules has uncovered novel electrophilic warheads that bind and inhibit GPX4. Here we report our discovery that diacylfuroxans can act as masked nitrile oxides that inhibit GPX4 covalently. These observations illuminate a novel molecular mechanism of action for biologically active furoxans and also suggest that nitrile oxides may be uniquely suited to targeting GPX4.

First Reports on Eastern Africa at the Moscow University
Authors: Lvova Eleonora
Published: January 2019

The article is devoted to the first direct links between the Moscow University and East Africa. At the beginning of the 20th century, three of its employees (I. Puzanov, V.V. Troitsky and V.N. Nikitin) visited the east and the northeast of the African continent (the territory of the modern Republic of Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda). They explored the nature and society of that time, collected zoological and ethnographic collections (part of those is stored in the Museum of Anthropology of the Moscow State University). Their notesfor a long time have been neglected by scholars specializing on African studies , although they were published in the first decade of the 20th century. Those works make it possible to study the situation in the region at thet time, the geography of the settlements and the peculiarities of the life of local peoples, the specifics of the policy of European powers and their rivalry, the beginning of the formation of foreign communities that later became important actors in the economy and politics of East Africa.
Concepts of “Ethnos” and “Nation” in the Terminological Continuum in Works by D. Olderogge
Authors: Filippov Vasily
Published: January 2019

The conceptual context within which D. Olderogge created his works (dominated of the Lenin-Stalin “nation theory” and the Soviet theory of ethnos) is considered in the article.
The author of the article shows that the terminological continuum in the works by D. Olderogge testifies to his rejection of the prevailing views of the time. Such terms as “race”, “tribe”, “nationality”, “people”, “nation” and “national state” were used by him outside of any context of Stalinist dogma. In some works D. Olderogge question the Eurocentric periodization of history (the doctrine of socio-economic formations), and comprehensiveness of the stages of «ethnos” the sufficiency of the stage forms of the “ethnos” linked to the formations, applied by Soviet ethnographers. The scientist stated that there were many definitions of the concept of “ethnos”, but the generally recognized concept had not been worked out. The author concludes that D. Olderogge represented the evolutionary paradigm in ethnology and believed in the objective existence of ontologized communities with objective “ethnic” characteristics.
New and not so new strategies in promoting integrity with particular reference to Africa
Authors: Rider Barry
Published: January 2019

This article is focused on exploration not merely proposed developments in and refinements of the law and its administration, but the very significant role that financial intelligence can and should play in protecting our societies. It is the contention of the author that the intelligence community at large and in particular financial intelligence units have an important role to play in protecting our economies and ensuring confidence is maintained in our financial institutions and markets. In this article the author considers a number of issues pertinent to the advancement of integrity and in particular the interdiction of corruption to some degree from the perspective of Africa. The potential for Africa as a player in the world economy is enormous. So far, the ambiguous inheritance of rapacious empires and the turmoil of self-dealing elites in post-colonial times has successfully obscured and undermined this potential. Indeed, such has been the mismanagement, selfishness and importuning that many have grave doubts as to the ability of many states to achieve an ordered transition to what they could and should be. South Africa is perhaps the best example of a society that while avoiding the catastrophe that its recent past predicted, remains racked by corruption and mismanagement. That there is the will in many parts of the continent to further stability and security by addressing the cancer of corruption, the reality is that few have remained or been allowed to remain steadfast in their mission and all have been frustrated by political self-interest and lack of resources. The key might be education and inter-generational change as it has been in other parts of the world, but only an optimist would see this coming any time soon – there is too much vested interest inside and outside Africa in keeping things much as they are! The author focuses not so much on attempting to perfect the letter of the law, but rather on improving the ways in which we administer it.
Manipulating National Elites: Means of Perpetuating the Existing World Order
Authors: Fituni Leonid , Abramova Irina
Published: January 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of conceptual approaches, methods and tools used by the United States and its allies for political and manipulative influence upon national elites of the “ascending” and other strategically important States of the world in order to retain a dominant position in the global world order and to gain advantages in geopolitical competition. The authors consider the structure of the elites, targeted by political manipulation from the point of view of the vulnerability of their elements and elite groups to external pressure, blackmail and other forms of manipulation. It is shown that among the tools of manipulative pressure upon national elites, an important role belongs to the information and communication impact on the object of manipulation. The article calls for scientific cognition of the mechanisms and practices of political manipulation of national elites in order to protect the interests of the Russian state and to ensure conditions for the upward development of the country.
