Authors: Sitharamulu V. , Mahammad Rafi D. , Naulegari Janardhan , Battu Hanumantha Rao
Published: December 2023

In this study, we investigate the viability of applying fuzzy reinforcement learning (FRL) to Internet of Things-based robots for purposes of autonomous navigation and collision avoidance. The proposed approach utilises FRL, IoT, and a sensor network to give the robot the ability to learn from its environment and act in accordance with those policies. The authors used FRL to train a mobile robot with wheels to move around and avoid obstacles, and then they put the robot through its paces in a virtual world. Results showed that the FRL-based technique improved the robot’s navigation and collision avoidance performance compared to traditional rule-based approaches. The results of this study indicate that FRL may be a viable technique for enabling autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance in IoT-based robotics.

A regional biogeography-based optimization algorithm for the distributed assembly permutation flow-shop scheduling problem with fuzzy processing time
Authors: Cheng Long , Wang Lei , Cai Jingcao
Published: December 2023

For solving the distributed assembly flow shop scheduling problem with fuzzy processing time (FDAPFSP), a regional biogeography-based optimization algorithm (RBBO) is proposed to minimize the maximum fuzzy completion time. The mathematical model is provided. In RBBO, all habitats are divided into regions based on the habitat suitability index, and the habitats of each region are subject to cross-regional migration and replacement procedures. A critical factory optimization strategy is developed to enhance local search capability. Taguchi method is used to determine the parameters of RBBO. In ten FDAPFSP instances, comparative testing of RBBO algorithm with various heuristic and swarm intelligence algorithms are conducted. The computation results show that in ten FDAPFSP cases, the proposed RBBO outperforms other algorithms in nine out of ten FDAPFSP cases.

Authors: Lovegrove Christopher J. , Sturkenboom Ingrid H.W.M. , Marsden Jonathan , Bannigan Katrina
Published: December 2023

Background:

Anxiety, a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), results in reduced life quality, reduced participation in meaningful roles and daily activities, and increased health burden. There are no evidence-based interventions to reduce the impact of anxiety in PD on participation.

Objective:

This study aimed to identify the key components required for the co-production of an occupation- and community-based intervention for people with PD-related anxiety.

Methods:

A participatory mixed-methods research study was conducted using online Group Concept Mapping methodology that included five stages: brainstorming, idea synthesis, sorting activity, rating activity, and analysis. A cluster map, pattern match, and ‘go-zone’ charts were created through multivariate statistical analysis based on participants’ responses. The stages were guided by questions generated by the research team working with stakeholders.

Results:

Eighty-three people participated, with 64 taking part in more than one activity. Participants included people with PD ( n = 72), care partners ( n = 6), and occupational therapists ( n = 5). The final map contained 119 statements with eight clusters (stress value 0.252): exercise, lifestyle changes, self-help, coping, access to information, professional help, peers and groups, support from others. Significant agreement existed between the importance and feasibility rating activities ( r = –0.07). ‘Go-zone’ charts highlighted the priority statements for intervention development.

Conclusions:

This novel participatory study highlighted priority components that provide starting points for future development of an occupation- and community-based intervention for people with PD-related anxiety.

Authors: Gottlich Harrison C. , Nabavizadeh Reza , Dumbrava Mihai , Pessoa Rodrigo Rodrigues , Mahmoud Ahmed M. , Garg Ishita , Orme Jacob , Costello Brian A. , Cheville John , Lucien Fabrice
Published: December 2023

Background:

Approximately 30% of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases present with de novo metastatic disease, while 20% to 30% of those with localized disease will develop metastases following surgical resection. Various drug classes have been investigated to treat RCC, including cytokine-based therapies, small molecule Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and antibody-based therapies. Up to 58% of patients fail to respond to primary immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, and nearly all initial responders experience disease progression due to the development of secondary resistance. Consequently, novel treatment options are being investigated.

Objective:

Review the rapidly evolving ADC therapeutic landscape in metastatic RCC including recent trials, emerging ADCs targets, and future directions for ADCs in the treatment of advanced RCC.

Methods:

Literature review using the MEDLINE database on important trials and presentations from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) conferences. Key words used included “renal cell carcinoma,” “RCC,” “metastatic RCC,” “advanced RCC,” “antibody-based therapies,” “immunotherapy,” “clinical trials,” and “emerging drugs.” Specifically for review of ADCs in RCC, the following search string was used with additional review of bibliographies from retrieved papers: “((antibody drug conjugate) OR (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity) OR (chimeric antigen receptor)) AND ((kidney cancer) OR (renal cell carcinoma))”.

Results:

Several promising targets including MMP14, EGFR, MCT4, CA9, MET, CDH13, B7-H3, and PSMA were identified with relevant preclinical and clinical studies reviewed.

Conclusions:

While ADCs therapeutics have not shown benefit to date for renal cell carcinoma, there are ample promising candidates and targets for future research.
Effect of Momordica cochinchinensis extract on locomotor function and brain antioxidant enzyme activity in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated zebrafish Parkinson’s disease model
Authors: Singsai Kanathip , Srisuwan Supawadee , Charoongchit Pimchanok , Singkhum Nopphakarn
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND:

Gac fruit ( Momordica cochinchinensis) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. The red aril of Gac fruit contains high concentrations of carotenoids, including lycopene and beta-carotene.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to investigate the effect of Gac fruit aril extract on locomotor activities in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced zebrafish model and measure antioxidant enzyme activities in the zebrafish brain.

METHODS:

This study used adult male zebrafish ( Danio rerio) as an animal model. MPTP was used as a toxin to induce movement dysfunction in zebrafish, while the standard drug selegiline acted as a monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor. Locomotion was recorded on day 7 after MPTP induction using a digital video tracking system, and parameters related to zebrafish swimming, including total distance, velocity, and immobility, were observed. The brain tissue of the zebrafish was collected for antioxidant enzyme activity analysis.

RESULTS:

The results showed that Gac fruit extract at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg improved locomotor functions in MPTP-induced Parkinsonism in zebrafish. However, antioxidant enzyme activities, such as catalase and superoxide dismutase activities, in the zebrafish brain showed no significant differences among all groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

These findings provide insights into the further research of Gac fruit extract as a nutraceutical for preventing Parkinson’s disease.
HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL MONUMENTS AS CIVILIZATIONAL SYMBOLS
Authors:   D.S. Likhachev Russian Scientific Research Institute of Cultural and Natural Heritage, Rudakov A. B.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses criteria for identifying civilizational symbols. The criteria underlying the selection of natural and cultural monuments for the UNESCO World Heritage List are analyzed. The in-sufficient representation of industrial architecture in Russia is noted. The communicative concept of a "cultural icon" is considered, which forms collective identity. The conclusion is drawn that a civilizational symbol should not only inherit cultural values but also have current significance. The author points to the fundamental importance of the icon concept for Russian civilization, and among the iconographic subjects, to the image of the Holy Trinity. With the help of his own methodology of "three-dimensional icon", the contemporary sculptor Sergey Sorokin managed to combine two Rus-sian cultural phenomena: religious sculpture and the image of the Trinity by Andrei Rublev. Sorokin's sculptural version of the Trinity fully corresponds to the idea of a cultural monument as a civilizational symbol of Russia.

Identification of calculated parameters of the Hardening Soil model based on laboratory soil tests
Authors: Nosenko Viktor , Nechyporenko Dmytro , Fadeev Oleksiy
Published: December 2023

The modern soil model Hardening Soil, which is used in many software complexes intended for solving geotechnical problems, is considered. The model makes it possible to take into account changes in deformation parameters of soils depending on the level of applied stresses and to describe the deformation processes of cohesive soils under complex loading/unloading trajectories.

The paper also presents tables and graphs obtained during laboratory studies of semi-hard clay "Kyiv marl" in a triaxial system and an oedometer. Based on these data, the soil strength parameters с' and φ', as well as the stiffens modules , ,  were determined.

To correlate the results of numerical simulation with the real behavior of clay soil in the Plaxis software complex, using the SoilTest virtual laboratory, a test in a triaxial compression device was simulated and soil parameters were identified. This approach makes it possible to increase the accuracy and quality of calculation results.

During identification, the parameters that most affect it were analyzed, which made it possible to better understand which parameters and in which ranges to vary in order to achieve the desired result.

It was determined that the most sensitive parameters are the section modulus of rigidity and the coefficient of destruction Rf. Their percentage sensitivity is 65.9% and 32%, respectively.

By varying the c' and φ' characteristics during the tests in the virtual laboratory, the destruction of the sample was simulated in accordance with real soil studies. Therefore, it is very important to correctly determine these parameters, because this can lead to an underestimation or, on the contrary, an overestimation of the strength of the soil base.

Published: December 2023

Architects, scientists of the Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy. O.M. Beketov conducts research focused on writing the terms of reference for the "Software package for modeling the city as a dynamic system". This development is devoted to the problem of improving SMART-oriented software and analytical tools based on working with large data arrays (BIG DATA) in architectural and urban planning management. The purpose of this toolkit is prognostics and monitoring of the architectural component of the city as a dynamic system. The relevance of its implementation lies in the optimization of the principles of functioning of the architectural component of the city with the calculation of its impact on the processes of functioning of other urban subsystems.

As a development and improvement of this direction, a method for determining the optimal speed and acceleration of positive transformations of the architectural component of cities, based on the indicator "Ecological footprint of architecture", which is currently being developed, is proposed. It is a method of developing step-by-step strategies for the development of the architectural component of cities. The main problem is to determine the optimal pace of social, environmental and economic changes in the processes of achieving a sustainable state of the city. Too rapid changes will inevitably lead to an aggravation of the socio-economic crisis. Slow change has a negative impact on the sustainability and ecology of the region. For this reason, in this article, the authors have developed a concept for the formation of an indicator that determines the vector, speed and acceleration of modernization of the architectural component of the city. As a factor limiting the rate of change to a socially acceptable level, the indicator of "Sustainable accessibility of vital goods for the population" was chosen.

Modern Ukraine reveals itself as an interesting and original phenomenon, a country, society, economy and nation, a local public space, interesting to many researchers from different corners of the Globe. Like every local society, local social space of the country, nation and national economy, it has its own educational space, which was formed together with local national culture, national worldview, national language and national economy for more than one hundred years. On the other hand, in the process of development of modern globalism as a science of global social reality, studies devoted to the phenomenon of globalization and its impact on certain aspects of the social life of local societies are becoming more and more popular and relevant. Therefore, the appearance of a study dedicated to the globalization of the educational space of Modern Ukraine should not cause special questions, but it may arouse interest among those researchers who are interested in research in the field of globalization, educational space, Modern Ukraine, etc. etc. In turn, the emergence, development and manifestation of globalization, like any other social phenomena and processes, corresponds to the socio-philosophical discourse. It is, together with globalization, that is the subject of this study, contributing to its disclosure, description, understanding and research and is its main task.
TRANSFORMATION OF BORROWED PHENOMENA: THE BUDDHIST FRESCO IN DUNGHUAN AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MOSQUES OF SHAANXI PROVINCE IN CHINA
Authors: Kuśnierz-Krupa Dominika , Ivashko Oleksandr
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of borrowing without being limited by a specific style, and on the basis of this to argue at which hierarchical level the transformation took place: at the level of composition, form or decor.

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to analyze how local cultural and artistic traditions influenced the transformation of borrowed styles and what exactly the phenomenon of transformation consisted of, whether it was the same for several borrowed styles.

As a result of the study of wall paintings in different periods, it was established that, according to the figurative concept of Dunhuang, the transformation was as follows:

– a departure from the original Indian frescoes by complicating the compositions in the direction of three-dimensionality and polymorphism, diversifying polychromy, anatomical perfection, detailing and giving the image a national color through portrait images of founders in Chinese clothes, scenes from their lives, landscape images; 

– therefore, in the Dunhuang frescoes, the transformation was focused on the planar images of the fresco (the role of ritual sculpture in the Dunhuang sanctuaries was much smaller). 

Despite the fact that Islam never competed with Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in terms of the number of believers in China, the rulers were friendly towards the construction of mosques. However, they are clearly dominated by Chinese traditions:

– there are much more courtyards than in traditional mosques, and they are landscaped according to Chinese landscape design and have ponds with fish (this is a purely Chinese tradition);

– the appearance of the pavilions and gates is purely Chinese: pavilions with a traditional Chinese silhouette, curved roofs with tiled roofs, complex multi-level eaves, open galleries on pillars, the use of traditional Chinese building materials (stone, brick, wood, tiles), bright polychromy, small detailing.

So, in the case of mosques as well, Chinese culture radically changed their appearance, giving them maximum similarity with the temples of traditional religions.

Thus, the transformation took place equally at all levels – planning, landscape design, three-dimensional form, plane with wall paintings and carvings.

Later, this style manifested itself in the transformation of European Art Nouveau, which was also superimposed on local traditions.

Goat breeding in Ukraine is developing in the following directions – meat, dairy, down, wool and combined in various combinations. The development and successful functioning of the production of goat products depends on the amount of provision of means of mechanization of production processes related to this production. An analysis of the constructions of various livestock buildings in which animals are kept was carried out. It has been determined that one of the rational forms of livestock premises for keeping goats in family farms is a circle. It has been established that the most attractive designs are grain silos with a flat bottom. In rooms that have the shape of a circle, it is possible to easily ensure the functioning of all production processes, while the costs of material resources are significantly reduced. Structurally, such premises can provide the most optimal wall height of 2.5–3.5 m. The walls of such a structure, depending on the natural and climatic zone, can have insulation, and the strength characteristics correspond to the highest class. The calculation of the area of the sectors of the room for keeping animals is consistent with the feeding front in each sector, the number of places for feeding in each sector and the frequency of changes of animals at the feeder are taken into account. Buildings based on a circular cross-section make it possible to minimize costs associated with technological operations by reducing transport, loading and unloading operations. The methods of calculating the room and the equipment for performing technological processes are substantiated.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify the most effective methods and means of cleaning the openings of the sieves of grain cleaning machines from clogging. The article analyzes the designs of cleaning devices that are equipped with gravitational oscillating sieves of modern general-purpose grain cleaning machines to ensure quality indicators of work and increase the productivity of separators. The analysis of existing designs showed that in the vast majority of machine designs, cleaning devices are installed under the grates. Only some machines use combined cleaners that work on both sides of the screen. Oscillating mechanisms are used as one-sided cleaning devices, the main working organ of which is a brush. Such devices are installed under the grate. Depending on the design, they are brush or impact with elastic elements - in the form of various shaped devices that are located and move randomly in special boxes. Combined cleaning devices are installed between the sieves. These are mostly brush scraper conveyors. It was established that the most rational would be the use of a combined cleaning device of continuous action, which allows not only to clean the holes of the sieves from the particles stuck in them, but, at the same time, to carry out the transportation of particles of grain material along the working surface of the sieves along its holes. The analysis of designs of grain cleaning machines with oscillating movement of sieves made it possible to establish the advantages and disadvantages of various designs of mechanisms for cleaning sieve openings from particles stuck in them. In particular, it was found that brush oscillating cleaning mechanisms suffer the most from abrasion and deformation of the bristles, while constructively there are no ways to eliminate the gaps that arise as a result of wear. Compared to them, continuous scraper conveyors have advantages, among which uniform wear between the scrapers along the length of the conveyor and, as a result, a longer service life, as well as the creation of conditions for increasing the efficiency of grain separation, are distinguished.

The working bodies of tillage agricultural machines (ploughshare, plow shelf, cultivator paw, harrow disc) work in conditions of abrasive operation, shock loads and the impact of external aggressive environment. Their repair is to restore the original size of parts and wear resistance of functional work surfaces. During the operation of tillage machines and units, the working surfaces are subjected to uneven wear, which reduces the life of parts and increases the cost of their replacement and restoration. The working bodies of tillage agricultural machines (ploughshare, plow shelf, cultivator paw, harrow disc) work in conditions of abrasive operation, shock loads and the impact of external aggressive environment. Their repair is to restore the original size of parts and wear resistance of functional work surfaces. During the operation of tillage machines and units, the working surfaces are subjected to uneven wear, which reduces the life of parts and increases the cost of their replacement and restoration. The current level of operation of agricultural machinery is characterized by increased speeds and high productivity, which, in turn, leads to increased wear of parts. accordingly, the reliability of the recovered ensure the restorative parts. Surfacing makes it possible to obtain layers of any thickness and chemical composition on the working surfaces of parts; apply a welded layer with different properties, ie high hardness and wear resistance. In this work we use point (point) hardening, which consists in micro-dripping of the hard alloy into the surface structure of parts that undergo intense abrasive wear. The geometry of the hardening point is a spherical sector, which facilitates the rapid removal of heat from the surfacing bath in the base metal and the environment, so the hardening points harden at high speed and in a short time. At point strengthening of details one of the main conditions providing stable quality of process - coordination of welding current and arc voltage. The sawtooth profile of the ploughshare blade (cultivator paws) is maintained throughout its service life. providing effective cutting even with the blades worked. We will fully consider the welding stress and deformation of the steel and tungsten carbide, to ensure the using performance of products. About tungsten carbide, we use the most advanced production equipment and the most reasonable production process during the material selection, burdening, pressing and sintering. We always fully consider the special requirements of different products on the strength, hardness, grain size of tungsten carbide.

Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of exploratory theoretical studies of the design features of a roller for pre-sowing tillage. According to the number of operations, the rolling roller can be considered as one of the main means for ensuring high-quality preparation of the field for sowing. Therefore, the rolling process must be considered as a complex of operations, and its construction as a combination of the latter. The technological process of rolling helps to optimally place the seeds at a given depth, improves the contact between the seeds and the soil, and contributes to the rapid swelling and germination of the seeds. The main purpose of rolling is to conserve soil moisture, especially in arid conditions, by reducing physical evaporation. The analysis of the existing designs of domestic and foreign manufacturers of rolling rollers for pre-sowing soil cultivation and the technological process they perform showed that today the range of designs is growing, versatility is decreasing, each type of work requires its own roller, continuous formation of the compacted bottom of the seedbed with modern rollers in is not fully implemented. The main direction on which foreign roller manufacturers are working is strip rolling and preparation of the seed bed directly along the track of the coulters if the roller is part of the seeding unit. In addition to the classic ones, there are practically no cats for continuous rolling in the company's assortment. It has been established that the technological process will be more rational when rolling occurs not only in the upper layers of the soil, but also in the lower ones. For this purpose, a combined rolling roller with working elements of the cam type was proposed. A mathematical model of the interaction of the rolling roller and its elements with the soil has been developed. The proposed mathematical model of the working process of the improved roller allows to establish the nature of the specific pressure distribution depending on the constructive parameters of the roller elements and the physical and mechanical properties of the soil. The effectiveness of the proposed design of the rolling roller is ensured by the fact that due to the design of the working surface and cams, it is possible to ensure uniform compaction of the soil along the width of the grip of the roller and to the required depth and reduce the number of passes of the roller to ensure the necessary uniformity of compaction.

A detailed analysis was conducted and popular bread production methods were identified, including the Biga method. The study focused on the fermentation process and its properties. The fermentation process is an important part of bread production. It affects the texture, taste, and nutritional value of the finished bread. There are many different fermentation methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In the traditional fermentation method, the dough is left on a table at room temperature. This method is simple and does not require expensive equipment. However, it can be unreliable, as the fermentation process is difficult to control. More modern fermentation methods use sealed fermenters. This allows for controlling the temperature, humidity, and oxygen level in the fermentation environment. This ensures a more uniform fermentation process and improves the quality of the finished bread. However, existing sealed fermenter systems that use timers have limitations. They cannot accurately determine the readiness of the dough. This can lead to the dough being under-fermented or over-fermented. A new method for determining the readiness of fermented dough in a sealed fermenter has been developed. This method uses a microcontroller and a gas consumption monitoring system. The microcontroller collects data on the current state of fermentation, including temperature, humidity, and oxygen level. The gas consumption monitoring system measures the amount of gas produced during fermentation. The microcontroller uses this data to determine the readiness of the dough. It does this by analyzing the fermentation rate curve. The new method is accurate and reliable. It can be used for any type of sealed fermenter of any volume. The new method has the potential to improve the quality and consistency of bread production.

The article is devoted to finding ways to solve the problem of increasing the reliability of the technological process of shredding crop residues using shredding rollers with operating parts in the form of knife drums. The research presents a review and analysis of existing types of machines for shredding crop residues equipped with driven and non-driven active operating parts with their advantages and disadvantages. The ways and methods that should be considered when solving problems of improving the quality of grinding and reliability of this technological process are formulated. The article presents the content and methods of conducting experimental field studies of the process of shredding crop residues by a drum with knives installed on its surface at a certain angle of deflection between adjacent rows and with a shift of the line of row blades relative to the axis of the drum itself. It is proved that at certain values of these parameters, it is possible to achieve a significant increase in the reliability of the technological process, to virtually eliminate the negative phenomenon of clogging of the inter-row space with particles of plant stems and soil. The rational values of the angles of the knives on the surface of the chopping drum, substantiated in this work, allow increasing the intensity of chopping crop residues as a result of reducing the distance between the rows of knives. Thus, the approximate length of the particles of chopped plant stems can be reduced from 21.4 cm to 17.4 cm, without negative consequences for the reliability of the technological process.

Breast cancer is one of the second most common cancer occurring worldwide. Early identification of the disease is a major interest that promises to propose several diagnostic procedures to prevent further surgical interventions. This research paper aims to develop a breast mass classifier system using deep learning to differentiate breast mass images from normal mammographic images. The benchmark mammographic datasets CBIS-DDSM, INbreast, and mini-MIAS are used for constructing the proposed model DELU-BM-CNN. The region of interest is identified by applying image processing techniques (median filter, binarization and dilation) and the images are enhanced and sharpened using adaptive histogram equalization and unsharp masking techniques. The pre-processed images are trained with a minimum of five deep convolutional layers activated by an Exponential Linear Unit (ELU) which is developed from scratch for feature learning and classifying the given whole mammographic images. Dropout, Data normalization, and Global average pooling are some of the regularization techniques adopted to prevent the model from over-fitting. The proposed models are able to classify CBIS-DDSM images with an accuracy of 96.60%, INbreast images with 96.20% and MIAS images with 97.40%. The experimental results are also compared with conventional Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) and Leaky ReLU activation function that promises the proposed model as a good prognosticator than the state-of-art models for cancer diagnosis using mammogram images as input.
