Concurrent Validity and Reliability of Three Ultra-Portable Vertical Jump Assessment Technologies
Authors: Watkins Casey M. , Maunder Ed , Tillaar Roland van den , Oranchuk Dustin J.
Published: December 2020

Vertical jump is a valuable training, testing, and readiness monitoring tool used across a multitude of sport settings. However, accurate field analysis has not always been readily available or affordable. For this study, two-dimensional motion capture (Mo-Cap), G-Flight micro-sensor, and PUSH accelerometer technologies were compared to a research-grade force-plate. Twelve healthy university students (7 males, 5 females) volunteered for this study. Each participant performed squat jumps, countermovement jumps, and drop jumps on three separate occasions. Between-device differences were determined using a one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Systematic bias was determined by limits of agreement using Bland–Altman analysis. Variability was examined via the coefficient of variation, interclass correlation coefficient, and typical error of measure. Dependent variables included jump height, contact-time, and reactive strength index (RSI). Mo-Cap held the greatest statistical similarity to force-plates, only overestimating contact-time (+12 ms). G-Flight (+1.3–4 cm) and PUSH (+4.1–4.5 cm) consistently overestimate jump height, while PUSH underestimates contact-time (−24 ms). Correspondingly, RSI was the most valid metric across all technologies. All technologies held small to moderate variably; however, variability was greatest with the G-Flight. While all technologies are practically implementable, practitioners may want to consider budget, athlete characteristics, exercise demands, set-up, and processing time before purchasing the most appropriate equipment.

Published: December 2020

Building extraction from high spatial resolution remote sensing images is a hot spot in the field of remote sensing applications and computer vision. This paper presents a semantic segmentation model, which is a supervised method, named Pyramid Self-Attention Network (PISANet). Its structure is simple, because it contains only two parts: one is the backbone of the network, which is used to learn the local features (short distance context information around the pixel) of buildings from the image; the other part is the pyramid self-attention module, which is used to obtain the global features (long distance context information with other pixels in the image) and the comprehensive features (includes color, texture, geometric and high-level semantic feature) of the building. The network is an end-to-end approach. In the training stage, the input is the remote sensing image and corresponding label, and the output is probability map (the probability that each pixel is or is not building). In the prediction stage, the input is the remote sensing image, and the output is the extraction result of the building. The complexity of the network structure was reduced so that it is easy to implement. The proposed PISANet was tested on two datasets. The result shows that the overall accuracy reached 94.50 and 96.15%, the intersection-over-union reached 77.45 and 87.97%, and F1 index reached 87.27 and 93.55%, respectively. In experiments on different datasets, PISANet obtained high overall accuracy, low error rate and improved integrity of individual buildings.
OMNIVIL—An Autonomous Mobile Manipulator for Flexible Production
Authors: Engemann Heiko , Du Shengzhi , Kallweit Stephan , Cönen Patrick , Dawar Harshal
Published: December 2020

Flexible production is a key element in modern industrial manufacturing. Autonomous mobile manipulators can be used to execute various tasks: from logistics, to pick and place, or handling. Therefore, autonomous robotic systems can even increase the flexibility of existing production environments. However, the application of robotic systems is challenging due to their complexity and safety concerns. This paper addresses the design and implementation of the autonomous mobile manipulator OMNIVIL. A holonomic kinematic design provides high maneuverability and the implemented sensor setup with the underlying localization strategies are robust against typical static and dynamic uncertainties in industrial environments. For a safe and efficient human–robot collaboration (HRC), a novel workspace monitoring system (WMS) is developed to detect human co-workers and other objects in the workspace. The multilayer sensor setup and the parallel data analyzing capability provide superior accuracy and reliability. An intuitive zone-based navigation concept is implemented, based on the workspace monitoring system. Preventive behaviors are predefined for a conflict-free interaction with human co-workers. A workspace analyzing tool is implemented for adaptive manipulation, which significantly simplifies the determination of suitable platform positions for a manipulation task.

Authors: Silva Roberta Maidana da , Nishijima Toshio , Santos Marjana Machado dos
Published: December 2020

O presente estudo teve como finalidade verificar a influência do ambiente na escolha da metodologia de Educação Ambiental por professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental de uma escola do campo de Júlio de Castilhos, RS. Assim, teve como objetivo analisar o uso da área externa da escola, a prática pedagógica em turmas multisseriadas, e a influência do meio rural na formação dos alunos. Para isto foi realizado um questionário com professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental de uma escola do campo na cidade de Júlio de Castilhos (RS). Conclui-se que o meio externo é utilizado raras vezes durante as aulas de Educação Ambiental e os alunos relacionam as aulas com o dia a dia deles. Portanto, o ambiente escolar influencia em parte a escolha das metodologias do professor, sendo que as classes multisseriadas limitam muito a diversificação de metodologias de Educação Ambiental.

Authors: Le Poder Sophie , Delaplace Manon , Huet Hélène , Zientara Stéphan
Published: December 2020

Les coronavirus sont présents chez de nombreuses espèces animales : chiens, chats, mais également porcs, ruminants, oiseaux, ainsi que dans la faune sauvage dont les chauves-souris. Les coronavirus infectant les mammifères domestiques et les chiroptères appartiennent aux genres Alpha ou Betacoronavirus. Le genre Gammacoronavirus comprend exclusivement des virus infectant les oiseaux et les mammifères marins tandis que les virus du genre Deltacoronavirus infectent soit les oiseaux soit certains mammifères. Il a été fait l’hypothèse que les virus du genre Alpha et Betacoronavirus trouvent leur origine parmi les coronavirus infectant les chauve-souris tandis que les virus du genre Gamma et Deltacoronavirus seraient issus de virus aviaires. Une même espèce animale peut être infectée par différents coronavirus parfois de genres différents. La multitude d’espèces animales infectées couplée aux possibilités importantes de variabilité du génome des Coronavirus favorisent les transmissions virales inter-espèces et l’émergence de nouveaux virus par recombinaison notamment. Mots clés : coronavirus animaux, transmission inter-espèce, pathogénicité

Pregnancy in the context of dyadic coping: a meta-analysis of foreign publications
Authors: Odintsova Oxana Yu.
Published: December 2020

In the present article the mediating role of dyadic coping is discussed in various aspects, which one way or another are related to the context of pregnancy and the subsequent birth of a child, through the meta-analysis of empirical foreign researches. These are such aspects as spouses adaptation, quality of life, adult romantic affection, parental confidence, parental stress and depression. The period of expecting a child is seen as a common stress factor for the partners. This corresponds to the concept of pregnancy and first postnatal year under the changing social and cultural context that was generally accepted by the foreign and Russian psychology. In addition, the article addresses many aspects of gender-based differences in the use of dyadic coping. It is noted that in close relationship ineffective dyadic coping can cause the risk of family problems and dysfunction of its members, in such a case the emphasis is placed not so much on the support provided but on its subjective perception. The article concludes that the dyadic coping internal mechanisms in the period of expecting a child would be useful to study on a Russian sample as one of the possible ways of therapeutic support of family under stress.
Methodological basis of future economists’ personality professional value
Authors: Zinchenko Viktoriya O. , Manchenko Igor’ P.
Published: December 2020

The article reflects the results of the scientific search to determine the methodological basis for the formation of the professional value of the personality of future economists, which is due to the increased requirements for this group of specialists in the context of solving the problems of innovative development of the country, ensuring economically viable activities for the benefit of the state and all its citizens. The need for comprehensive use of the leading provisions of axiological, personality-oriented, competent and environmental methodological approaches is justified, which will create effective conditions for the formation of professional values of the personality of future economists. The implementation of the process for the formation of professional personality values among students of economic specialties is connected with the organisation of an axiologically filled educational environment at the university by the authors; that will allow using a wide range of opportunities for educational and non-educational work and increase the effectiveness of pedagogic influences on the formation of professional values among future economists. The article presents the author's definition of the educational environment as a condition for the formation of professional values of the personality of future economists.
Methodical constructor for the use of a group form of education at a higher education institution (in terms of legal training of future pedagogues)
Authors: Anikina Anna S.
Published: December 2020

In accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard of VO 3 ++, students who have mastered the main educational programme for training bachelors in the direction of "Pedagogic education (with two training profiles)" must have a set of universal, general professional and professional competences that ensure the performance of general labour functions established by professional standards. As an effective form of organising students' educational activities, contributing to the solution of educational tasks declared by the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education 3 ++, the author analyses teaching in small groups. In the process of group work, the maximum activation of educational communication takes place, ensuring the development of both cognitive and activity, and value, and reflexive components of competences. The article presents the experience of using group forms of education in teaching legal disciplines, describes the forms of group interaction, gives recommendations for the design of educational tasks, and proposes a methodological constructor for using methodological techniques for organising collective interaction.
Thinking abilities and cognitive-personality styles
Authors: Rusalov Vladimir M. , Volkova Natal'ya E.
Published: December 2020

The article presents the results of the empirical study devoted to the analysis of the relations between the variables of thinking abilities and personality-cognitive styles. The study involved 292 students of sociohumanitarian and economic faculties of the cities of Moscow and Kaluga aged 17 to 25 (19.44 ± 1.48), among which 62% were girls. Statistical data processing was carried out on the basis of the IBM SPSS software package. The obtained results indicate relationships among the ability to classify objects, categorical and generative abilities with variables of personality-cognitive styles. However, thinking abilities relate in different ways to personality-cognitive styles. The strongest conjugation of personality-cognitive styles is revealed with generative abilities. This fact manifests the organic involvement of personality-cognitive styles in the construction of a new reality – the creation of fundamentally new mental spaces and patterns of behaviour.
The influence of the specificity of fundamental values on interpersonal dependence in friendships
Authors: Kamenskiy Pyotr I.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of the influence of the specifics of fundamental values on the type of interpersonal dependence in friendly relations. The author shows the actualised need to consider behavioural dependences on the example of interpersonal dependence due to the lack of scientific knowledge in this area. The specificity of interrelationships between the aspects of four fundamental motivations and normative and non-normative types of interpersonal dependence is revealed. The author considers aspects of fundamental motivations as predictors of the types of interpersonal dependence, namely, destructive overdependence and healthy dependence. In conclusion, the author concludes that some aspects of fundamental values have a specific impact on the formation of interpersonal dependence in close friendships. The data obtained can contribute to the development of practical methods for the prevention of abnormal types of interpersonal dependence.
Cognitive predictors of psychological well-being and satisfaction with the life of male students at military higher education institutions
Authors: Opekina Tat’yana P.
Published: December 2020

The article considers the cognitive predictors of the assessment of quality and satisfaction with life in students at military higher education institutions, including their perception of the number of everyday stressors and their cognitive distortions. The average values for indicators of life satisfaction, everyday stressors and cognitive distortions of the said students are given in comparison with the average values of the corresponding empirical norms obtained by Russian researchers on samples of Russian-speaking men. Regression models constructed allow meaningful interpretation of cognitive predictors, to which various indicators of students' life satisfaction and overall well-being are most sensitive – everyday stressors in various areas of life and some cognitive distortions, including catastrophisation, telepathy, and super-generalisation.

A revised numerical model for parachute inflation based on ALE method
Authors: CHEN CHEN , GUO QILEI , SUN PENG
Published: December 2020

The parachute inflation process is a typical time-varying, non-linear and fluid-structure coupling problem, especially inairdrop condition. For its complexity, numerical model of the inflation process is a big challenge, and most of the modelsestablished before still have room for improvement. There were two common problems that the first one was ignoranceof inertia force of canopy and line, and the second was that took stretch speed as the initial airdrop speed in modelling.Thus, a modified finite element model for canopy inflation process based on ALE (Arbitrary Lagrange Euler) method wasestablished that the inertia force of canopy and line was taken into consideration and the initial airdrop speed wasestimated and adjusted. The opening load in finite mass situation during deployment-inflation process of C-9 typeparachute was calculated. The result was compared to experimental data and calculated data of unmodified models. Itwas indicated that the opening load and peak time of modified model was the closest to experiment and the snatch loadwas also calculated and confirmed, so that the correctness and rationality of the model was verified. Then the factorinfluence of inertia force and initial airdrop speed was analysed, which provided a reference for parachute numericalmodelling.
Investigation of droplet impact on inclined fabric based on CMOS imagingtechnology and FSI numerical method
Authors: BAI SHUHUA , CHENG HAN
Published: December 2020

In order to study the impact characteristics of droplet on inclined fabric, the relevant experiment was setup in this paper.The process of a single droplet (2.12 mm) impacting inclined fabric (45°) was captured by CMOS (ComplementaryMetal-Oxide Semiconductor) imaging technology. It could be found that there was a second impact phenomenon duringspreading stage, which was very different from impacting horizontal fabric. Then a two-way coupling method was usedto simulate that impacting process. The numerical results were basically consistent with the experimental results. Inaddition, the reaction force and vibration characteristics of fabric which couldn’t be collected by experiments were alsoobtained. Finally, the effect of inclination angle on impact characteristics was analyzed by numerical method. The biggerthe inclination angle was, the longer the stability time of droplet was, and the smaller the reaction force on fabric was.The change law conformed to the momentum theorem. The method and conclusions could provide some references forthe design of parachute system.

Authors: Almeida Marcus Vinicius Brotto de
Published: December 2020

A organização tópica é um fenômeno integrante do conhecimento linguístico relacionado à distribuição das informações num texto. O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é oferecer uma abordagem didática para desenvolver a consciência metatextual nos alunos sobre a estrutura tópica do parágrafo argumentativo. Para alcançar esse objetivo, inicialmente, produziu-se uma unidade didática com atividades baseadas em operações metalinguísticas – identificação dos parâmetros, comparação entre estruturas bem e malformadas, produção e correção de falhas (GERHARDT, 2016) – e fornecimento de conhecimento metaestratégico relacionado aos processos da escrita. Em seguida, aplicou-se o material a alunos, para verificar o efeito da unidade didática na percepção da organização tópica, na produção textual e na experiência de usar a metodologia na sala de aula. Concluiu-se que a eficácia da unidade didática não pôde ser avaliada devido ao desengajamento dos alunos para realizar as operações metalinguísticas e empregar as estratégias de composição.

Published: December 2020

Neste artigo refletimos sobre os cursos de Licenciatura em Letras/Espanhol nos Institutos Federais como uma política de expansão do ensino superior brasileiro (OTRANTO, 2013; SILVA JÚNIOR, 2016). Para isso, empregamos o grupo de discussão como estratégia metodológica para pensar o projeto de curso do Instituto Federal de Brasília (IFB), tomado como recorte. Demos voz aos sujeitos e analisamos suas falas para levantar imagens de docência predominantes em suas concepções de trabalho. Definimos o grupo de discussão (ARANTES; DEUSDARÁ, 2017; GATTI, 2012) como importante procedimento e instrumento de geração de dados sobre formação de professores, tornando os participantes peças fundamentais do processo histórico de implantação e continuidade do curso em pauta. Os dados gerados revelam sentidos construídos para a inserção dessa Licenciatura no IFB, a contratação de professores formadores, a pouca experiência dos docentes no ensino superior e concepções de trabalho com a língua no projeto de curso.

CAMPUS SUSTAINABILITY: MEASURING AWARENESS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT DIMENSIONS AMONG EDUCATORS IN MALAYSIAN UNIVERSITY
Authors: Moganadas Sharmila Rani , Subramaniam Subhacini , Nun Shwu Huey , Bahaman Ainee Suriani
Published: December 2020

Sustainable development has long gained momentum as an indispensable change-maker of the present and future, across nations, organisations, institutions, and individuals around the globe. Despite its universal recognition, the understanding of the concept’s constituents seems vague and heterogeneous, which has led to piecemeal initiatives that appear to impede the vision of systemic sustainability. In this disposition, many experts reckon that the higher education institutions that are in the sustainably adept nick, capable of cultivating and leading the community towards a holistic sustainable development approach. This portrays the need for a sound knowledge or awareness of sustainable development dimensions among campus actors; in particular, the educators, as it emerges as the prerequisite to campus sustainability endeavours. This paper, therefore, aims to carry out one of the grassroots level efforts, which is to measure the awareness of sustainable development dimensions among academic staff of a private university in Malaysia. This research adopted an online and offline survey to obtain responses from 169 educators. The findings show that there are significant differences in the level of awareness on sustainable development dimensions (economy, social, and environment) among educators of the university. Gaps and needs identified in this study can be useful to the management to better orientate their actions towards campus sustainability plans, such as policies, curriculum development, operations, research, etc.

The Quest for an Islamic Methodology
Authors: Safi Louay
Published: December 2020

The Islamization of knowledge is one of the dominant themes thatcontinue to preoccupy contemporary Muslim intellectuals. Since Isma'ila1 Fiifiqi presented this thesis little over a decade ago, numerous papers,monographs, and books have been written on the subject. This paper attemptsto examine the progress of the project of Islamization in the lastdecade by outlining the general framework of Islamization and examiningthe work of its proponents and critics. Modifications aimed at overcomingthe difficulties inherent in the original plan are then proposed.I argue that the project of Islamization is still in its premethodologicalstage. This is due partially to the limitations of the original workplan, which does not take into account some important logistical and psychologicalfactors. I therefore propose a slightly modified strategy inwhich the emphasis is placed on a critical examination of methock andtechniques developed in both the classical Muslim and the modem Westemscientific traditions.Islamization FrameworkAny study concerned with analyzing writings on methodology in thecontext of the Islamization of knowledge has to start from the two essayswritten by al Faruqi (IIIT 1987). In this monograph, he Singled out twofactors as being responsible for the present condition of theummah-conditions he termed the "malaise of the ummah"-namely, thecutrent secular-religious duality of education systems in Muslim societies ...
Islamic Aspects of the Legacy of Malcolm X
Authors: Rashid Samory
Published: December 2020

Spike Lee's 1992 film, ''Malcolm X," is the most recent evidence ofthe increased popularity of Malcolm X (El Haj Malik El Shabazz). Thefilm, based on a screenplay by James Baldwin and Arnold Perl, sparkedcontroversy over "X" memorabilia and also a debate over the appropriateinterpretation of Malcolm X's legacy. For example, black nationalistAmiri Baraka opposed Lee's portrayal and criticized the film as an attemptto "make middle class Negroes sleep easier." Yet when the currentcontroversy and debate end, the Islamic aspects will remain, as before,the most significant and least recognized elements of Malcolm X'slegacy. This paper briefly examines this phenomenon in order to offer amore accurate and meaningful analysis of the significance of Malcolm X.Although Alex Haley's Autobiography of Malcolm X climbed to theNew York Times' best-seller list in 1992, popular media accounts, suchas Lee's film, have stimulated even greater social interest. As one writernotes, "if many blacks did not listen when he was alive, young blacks arelistening now." It is also interesting to note how "Malcolm X's appealhas crossed racial barriets in a way that would have been unthinkableduring his life." Nevertheless, the emergent popularity of Malcolm X inthe 1990s is a direct result of the lingering presence of racism and of hisown martydom in the struggle against it.Most mainstream analyses associate Malcolm X's message with vielence and hatred of white America. For example, his oft-quoted phrase,"by any means necessary," and his advocacy of martial arts proficiencyand rifle club formation for defenseless black victims of racial violence ...
Revelation and Political Philosophy
Authors: Butterworth Charles
Published: December 2020

This is a "work in progress" presentation based on mearch I am nowconducting about the development of Islamic political philosophy duringthe classical period of Islam. My contention is that a better understandingof that tradition puts the current debate about Islamic fundamentalism orresurgence into a new perspective. Behind the sensational, popular demandsfor greater adherence to the strictures of the revealed law of Islamlies an issue of fundamental importance: how divine revelation is to beunderstd and interpreted for political guidance. Those who developedIslamic political philosophy spoke directly to this issue and did so in amanner that merits the attention of contemporary Muslim activists, scholarsinterested in Islam, and thoughtful human beings in general. Theythought clearly about the relationship between religious belief andpolitical practice because they addressed the issue ditectly and withoutpreconceptions. Consequently, whatever our religious and cultural origins,we can benefit greatly from their teaching.One of my goals is to refocus current social science scholarship whileengaging Muslim scholars in debate on topics they deem urgent. Lately,there have been many, perhaps too many, reports and prognostics concerningthe success of resurgent Islam as well as the challenges it posesto Middle Eastern and western regimes. Such studies invariably talkabout, rather than with, those calling for greater attention to Islamic preceptsand practices; they presuppose and reinforce an attitude of "us" and"our valued' vetSUS "them" and "their values." Such a posture not onlyfosters antagonism and misunderstanding, it also ignores the way Muslimsare now addressing this complex phenomenon.Indeed, for almost a decade, Muslims trained in the West have beeninvestigating how western learning, especially the social sciences, illuminatestraditional Islamic sciences and vice versa. This task addresses, atthe highest level, the issue behind the call for application of the Shari'ahand offers the best Contemporary possibility of achieving some kind ofintercultural understanding. It offers those interested in western and Islamicculture a unique opportunity to delve mare deeply into another cultureand thereby understand the other and their own culture better.Another goal is to investigate how philosophers within the classicalperiod of Islam understood revelation and its outward manifestationprophecy-to influence political life. While mast scholars recognize the ...
Islam in History
Authors: Arif Kokab
Published: December 2020

Malek Bennabi (1903-73) was an Algerian scholar who received hiseducation in Algiers and Paris. An engineer by training, his concern aboutthe ummah 's decadence led him to analyze the causes of this decay andto provide solutions. The result of his analysis is this book. Originallywritten in French in 1943 W1der the title Vocation de /'Islam, it was notpublished until I 954, in order to coincide with the Algerian revolution.At the outset, he defines history by saying thathistory is a sociology, that is, the study of the conditions of developmentof a social group, defined not as much by its ethicalor political factors as by the complex of ethical, aesthetical, andteclmical affinities corresponding to the air or space of this civilization.On the other hand this social group is not isolated, and itsevolution is conditioned by certain connections with the humanensemble. From this point of view, history is a metaphysics, sinceits perspective, extending beyond the domain of historical causality,embraces the phenomena in their finality. (p. 6)Using this framework, he develops a cyclical concept of civilizationand attributes its origin to Ibn Khaldiin. He argues that the phenomenonof "civilization" and "decadence" should not be studied in isolation. Thisis especially true in the case of the Muslim world, which is in need ofclear ideas for its renaissance and should not be isolating the two.Using a sociological base, he focuses on the behavior of the individualin Muslim society. He believes that the decadence of the Muslimummah is the result of combination of historical and psychological factors.The first turning point came when the democratic caliphate becamea dynasty. The second, which was psychological, was the fall of the alMuwahhid dynasty in Spain to the forces of Christendom in the thirteenthcentury CE. lltls process gave birth to what Bennabi termed the"post-al Muwabhid man" who is the typical representative of the contemporaryummah's behavior, temperament, characteristics, and psychology.While discussing the efforts to improve this situation, he focuses onthe ummah's various refonnist and modernist movements. In his view,the reformist movements did not try to .give the post-al Muwabhid ...
Symposium on the Futures of the Islamic World
Authors: El-Mandjra Mahdi
Published: December 2020

I am honored to be among such a distinguished group of people whohave contributed so much to identifying the problems besetting the Islamicworld. The subject under discussion highly strategic, especially atthis time of sweeping upheaval and disruption that has been anticipatedfor years by future studies specialists. I thus have no illusions about theawesome task we face and am fully aware of the subject’s complexity.I have been working in the field of future studies for over twenty-fiveyears and have participated in approximately two hundred internationalconferences and seminars related to this subject. This is the first time, Ithink, that an international symposium has been entirely devoted to theidentification and analysis of current and anticipated problems as relatedto Islam. This is a sign of the maturity of the Islamic world, and similarinitiatives must be encouraged in the future with the hope of initiatingand supporting concrete research projects in this important am.Given the countries of origin of this symposium’s participants, I hopethat its sponsors Will consider extending its activities beyond the scopeof the Arab world. After all, Arabs are only 20 percent of the total Muslimpopulation. When dealing with Islam, we must all beware of ethnocentrictemptations, for Islam calls for a diversity that is conducive tounity. This prescription is enshrined in the Qur’an:0 mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and havemade you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo!the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct.(49: 13)Accordingly, I consider this symposium to be a sort of rehearsal forother meetings to come and which will be more representative of the realitiesand potentialities of the Islamic world. We should therefore avoidthe confusing generalization which has l&l the West to apply the specificreality of the Arab region to all countries of the Islamic world. This is notto be regarded as a critical stand against this symposium, but rather as anexpression of a personal reservation concerning possible attempts to ...
