Trajectory Planning of a CableBased Parallel Robot using Reinforcement Learning and Soft Actor-Critic
Authors: Vu Dinh-Son , Alsmadi Ahmad
Published: December 2020

Industry 4.0 introduces the use of modular stations and better communication between agents to improve manufacturing efficiency and to lower the downtime between the customer and its final product. Among novel mechanisms that have a high potential in this new industrial paradigm are cable­suspended parallel robot (CSPR): their payload­to­mass ratio is high compared to their serial robot counterpart and their setup is quick compared to other types of parallel robots such as Gantry system, popular in the automotive industry but difficult to set up and to adapt while the production line changes. A CSPR can cover the workspace of a manufacturing hall and providing assistance to operators before they arrive at their workstation. One challenge is to generate the desired trajectories, so that the CSPR could move to the desired area. Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence where the agent interacts with an environment to maximize a reward function. This paper proposes the use of a RL algorithm called Soft Actor­Critic (SAC) to train a two degrees­of­freedom (DOFs) CSPR to perform pick­and­place trajectory. Even though the pick­and­place trajectory based on artificial intelligence has been an active research with serial robots, this technique has yet to be applied to parallel robots.

Published: December 2020

The majority of blind or visually impaired students in the third world countries are still using the mechanical brailler for their education. With technology advancements and electronic communication, relying on paper-based brailler would not be efficient nor productive. The "LCE Brailler" is a low-cost electronic brailler whose main features are to vocalize, braille, save and convert Braille characters typed by a blind student to alphabetical ones, which are then displayed on a computer’s monitor. In order to promote an interactive educational experience among students, teachers and parents, the proposed brailler has an affordable low price with advanced capabilities. The device’s design is simplistic and its keyboard is familiar to the blind user. It is based on the raspberry pi technology. The LCE device was tested by visually impaired students and proved to provide accurate mechanical functionality, accuracy, braille-to-text and text-to-audio blind assistant with a userfriendly graphical user interface.
The role of industry-academia collaborative research in mineral exploration
Authors: Marlatt James
Published: December 2020

Many people may not be aware of the extent of Kurt Kyser's collaboration with mineral exploration companies through applied research and the development of innovative exploration technologies, starting at the University of Saskatchewan and continuing through the Queen's Facility for Isotope Research. Applied collaborative, geoscientific, industry-academia research and development programs can yield technological innovations that can improve the mineral exploration discovery rates of economic mineral deposits. Alliances between exploration geoscientists and geoscientific researchers can benefit both parties, contributing to the pure and applied geoscientific knowledge base and the development of innovations in mineral exploration technology. Through a collaboration that spanned over three decades, we gained insight into the potential for economic uranium deposits around the world in Canada, Australia, USA, Finland, Russia, Gabon, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, and Guyana. Kurt, his research team, postdoctoral fellows, and students developed technological innovations related to holistic basin analysis for economic mineral potential, isotopes in mineral exploration, and biogeochemical exploration, among others. In this paper, the business of mineral exploration is briefly described, and some examples of industry-academic collaboration innovations brought forward through Kurt's research are identified. Kurt was a masterful and capable knowledge broker, which is a key criterion for bringing new technologies to application—a grand, curious, credible, patient, and attentive communicator—whether talking about science, business, or life and with first ministers, senior technocrats, peers, board members, first nation peoples, exploration geologists, investors, students, citizens, or friends.

Starke Gewichtszunahme unter Psychopharmaka
Authors: Marty Natalie
Published: December 2020

Unter Psychopharmaka kann es zu einer massiven Gewichtszunahme kommen. Dafür sind in erster Linie Neuroleptika und einzelne Antidepressiva verantwortlich. Im Rahmen eines deutschen Forschungsprojekts zur Arzneimittelsicherheit wurden solche Fälle anlässlich von Klinikaufenthalten erfasst. Da diese Aufenthalte teilweise nur kurz dauerten, fand sich allerdings nur bei knapp 0,1% aller psychiatrisch Hospitalisierten eine Gewichtszunahme um mehr als 10 kg. In der Praxis sind solche Fälle wohl viel häufiger.

US Policy towards Ukraine under Donald Trump’s Administration: Problematic Issues and Prospects
Authors: Kravchenko Olha
Published: December 2020

The article describes and analyses the policy of the Trump administration towards Ukraine. Traditionally, the election of a new US President has some impact on the Washington’s position on Ukrainian issues, and the end of the presidential tenure serves as a reason to take stock of the results. Donald Trump’s presidency has not been marked by profound changes in the US foreign policy towards Ukraine, as it was inertially in line, for the most part, with the previous years. The American political establishment primarily views Ukraine through the prism of the security paradigm as a bulwark of deterring its global opponents, particularly Russia. Thus, the article deals with the challenges and prospects of the modern US policy towards Ukraine.
The priorities of the US foreign policy towards Ukraine traditionally consist of the issues enshrined in the 2008 U.S.-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership. The article focuses on defence, security, and energy cooperation. In this regard, the United States remains the major guarantor of the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine. In deterring the Russian aggression, the Trump administration generally follows the approach of the imposition of economic sanctions, launched during the presidency of Barack Obama. It is important to stress that the United States focuses not only on the problem of the armed conflict in Donbas but also on the attempted illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia. At the same time, the focus on security issues has its negative repercussions, as it leads to certain limitations in bilateral relations, as evidenced by the lack of large-scale joint projects and weak trade and economic cooperation that impacts Ukraine’s position in the US foreign policy priorities. In the meantime, regardless of the name of the future US President, Washington’s support for Ukraine will be maintained. The close involvement of the United States in the negotiation process for the settlement of the conflict in Donbas and de-occupation of Crimea would significantly influence the course of events, but it is difficult to predict whether this prospect will become a reality.
Keywords: US foreign policy towards Ukraine, Trump administration, strategic partnership, U.S.-Ukraine bilateral relations, process of impeachment.
A MULTI CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS APPROACH TOWARDS CREATING A INCLUSIVE CURRICULUM FOR GENDER RESPONSIVE HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: Wadhwaniya Mayur
Published: December 2020

In the era when globalisation have challenged the ways we traditionally
conceptualise higher education curriculum and its implications, the academic
debates with respective to importance of gender inclusive higher education has
brought to the surface the necessity of discussion about the factors/components
which contributes in making higher education curriculum inclusive. Although there
are multitude of publication which exists on gender inclusivity and higher education,
very less work has been done on designing an inclusive curriculum for gender
responsive higher education. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap by taking wider
and a more holistic view that is based on a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)
framework. A comprehensive list of factors/components essential for designing
higher education curriculum was extracted from extant literature and expert opinion
was developed. Further, Analytical Hierarchy Process was adopted as a MCDA
method and established priorities using pair wise comparisons and judgements to
identify the relative importance of these factors/components. Our findings show that
among all the factors/components identified (Educational, Dispositional, Conditional
and Cultural), Educational component which consists of attributes like entry
qualifications, educational experiences, experiences of work and life, learning
approaches contributes maximum in designing an inclusive curriculum for gender
responsive higher education. Moreover, the paper contributes methodologically by
proposing first time development of Multi Criteria Decision Analysis Framework in
precise and a unique way. Through this study, we also highlight the need for
adapting a pro active anticipatory approach in teaching pedagogy by higher
education instructions.

essential factor in the progress and development of the society.
Assessing Vancomycin Dosing Per Pharmacy in Elderly Patients Over the Age of 74 Years
Authors: Nguyen Lee , Breen Martin , Yamaki Jason , Cadalin Geraldine , Lumintaintang Linda , Shah Nilomi
Published: December 2020

Vancomycin has a complex pharmacokinetic profile and carries potential risks for nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. The pharmacokinetic profile in elderly patients significantly differs from that of younger patients. It is common practice in many institutions for pharmacists to intentionally round serum creatinine levels to 1 mg/dl in elderly patients with levels <1 mg/dl to avoid overestimating clearance and toxicities. This can potentially lead to underestimation of creatinine clearance, and subsequently lead to vancomycin under dosing. The aim of this study was to evaluate vancomycin target trough attainment and the time to trough attainment with vancomycin dosing per pharmacy in elderly patients.

Methods
In this retrospective study, patients 75 years and older who received vancomycin at our institution were evaluated. Subjects were included in the study if they were at least 75 years of age, received intravenous vancomycin therapy, and had a vancomycin trough drawn after the third dose. The study patients were divided into three serum creatinine groups; <0.8 mg/dl (LSCr), 0.8–0.9 mg/dl (MSCr), and ≥1 mg/dl (HSCr). Patients were excluded from the study if they did not meet inclusion criteria, had no trough levels drawn, or were <75 years of age.

Results
Two hundred and four patients 75 years or older were included in the study. The target trough attainment was highest in the HSCr group (n = 37, 80%), which was significantly higher than the LSCr (n=21, 31%; p<0.0001) and MSCr (n=42, 46%; p<0.0001) groups. The time to target trough goals (days, mean ± SD) differed between the three groups, with the LSCr group taking the longest duration: LSCr: 5.14 ± 2.5; MSCr: 3.74 ± 1.1; HSCr: 3.78 ± 1.6, p=0.005.

Conclusion
Adjustments need to be done to improve vancomycin dosing per pharmacy in patients 75 years of age and older. This study shows that LSCr patients (<0.8 mg/dl) had the lowest rates of target trough level attainment. Intentionally rounding serum creatinine to 1 mg/dl if values are less when estimating renal function in this older patient population may not be predictive of true renal function and can decrease the likelihood of target attainment or increase time to target attainment.
TRANSNATIONAL REPRESENTATION BY EUROPEAN WORKS COUNCILS IN THE PASSENGER AIRLINE INDUSTRY
Authors: Havlovic Stephen
Published: December 2020

Mergers and acquisitions have reduced the number of European Works Councils (EWCs) in the airline industry over the past two decades. In addition, start-up low-cost airlines have been reluctant to form EWCs. Only 5 of the 11 eligible transnational passenger airlines have established EWCs. This limited number of airline EWCs reduces airline employees' opportunity to be involved in strategic decision making in areas such as tourism. All of the available EWC agreements provide the opportunity for management and employee member consultation, the offering of opinions, and providing information related to European transnational operations. The Lufthansa Group and the International Airlines Group EWC agreements contain more subject areas for discussion than the Air France-KLM agreement. Only the Lufthansa Group EWC agreement includes the topic of environmental protection.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEADERSHIP STYLES AND AVIATION SAFETY: A STUDY OF AVIATION INDUSTRY
Authors: Bastola Dipak Prasad
Published: December 2020

The role of leadership in aviation safety is the subject of great interest. Aviation safety is related foremost to passenger safety, and ultimately to the economy. A single aviation accident can lead to organizational failures due to financial burden and loss of life. Therefore, the role of aviation leader in safety issues needs to be examined. In this article, 300 aviators, both managers and employees, have participated in the survey which utilized the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), and the Nordic Network of Occupational Safety Questionnaire (NOSACQ-50). Three separate organizations were chosen for the study. A quantitative research methodology was used to analyze the research findings. The research results show that the safety level of most of the airlines under the investigation was below the desired level. Likewise, transformational leadership has a higher safety score than any other leadership styles; however, only a few aviation leaders are practising this style. It implies that aviation leaders can adopt a transformational style to reduce air accidents. This research also identified a few core competencies of the aviation leader within the transformational style of leadership. Intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration can contribute to higher aviation safety than any other factors of transformational leadership.
Using Textual Information to Predict In Macroeconomics
Authors: Kurovskiy Gleb
Published: December 2020

The paper shows how textual information can be used to predict and study cause-effect relationships in macroeconomics. I consider a special case of forecasting - nowcasting on the example of unemployment. The key feature of nowcasting is that the forecast is built for a period that has already passed, but which has not yet come out statistics. As textual information, Internet requests are used. The paper is new in several direction. For the first time in the literature, information from two search engines, Yandex and Google, is used at once for forecasting. Information provided by search engines complements each other and allows performing suitable words’ selection from the bunch of users’ internet-requests. For the first time, the popularity of online systems as sources of information on job availability is taken into account. In Russia, the popularity of the Internet as a source of information on the availability of jobs has more than tripled from 2008 to 2018. If the researcher uses only the dynamics of related internet-requests then the results will show the dynamics of internetservices’ popularity rather than unemployment. Most of the models with internet query words show significant quality improvement in fore(now)casting unemployment. The paper proposes the procedure how to use query data for macroeconomic nowcasting
Single Wholesale Network for 5G: Are Investment Savings Achievable?
Authors: Avdasheva Svetlana , Korneeva Dina , Orlova Yuliya
Published: December 2020

The article assesses single wholesale network (SWN) model - concentration of access to key infrastructure facilities within one company - for developing 5G. The main argument in favor of SWN is the possible capex savings, which are highly relevant in Russia. But setting up SWN will require state regulation which implies additional costs.

Economic Framework of Tariffs’ Determination in Telecommunication Services: a Digital Business in an "Analogue" Environment?
Authors: Pavlova Natalya , Shastitko Andrey , Ionkina Karina
Published: December 2020

The article analyses the economic aspects of the application of antitrust legislation in the context of abuse of dominant position prohibition (primarily in the form of setting excessive prices) in industries that are characterized by a complexity of services both on the production side and on the demand side. Evidence from several recent antitrust cases against mobile network operators in Russia has shown that the analysis of prices for individual mobile services is incorrect outside the context of complex pricing under high joint fixed costs. The aim of this article is to explain the economic basis for changing the tariffs of telecommunication services in terms of antitrust legislation requirements. The article presents a direction for assessing the state of competition and the corresponding behavior of market participants (for example, attributes of determining excessive prices) taking into account the characteristics of the telecommunications industry, specially, the mobile services industry. Moreover, it is shown that mobile services exhibit the effects of active competition: a high quality of communication, high rates of innovative activity in the industry as a whole, as well as low prices.

Published: December 2020

The article describes G.N. Tsagolov’s contribution to the development of political and economic theory, first of all, the theory of that new social system which, according to the scientist and his colleagues, should replace capitalism and “real socialism” — “integrated society”. It seems that G.N. Tsagolov’s theoretical developments were based on the methodology of the University School of Political Economy, which distinguished its initial and basic production relations in each system. The nature of Russian social and economic system as oligarchic and bureaucratic capitalism is revealed and the works in which G.N. Tsagolov showed the progressiveness of Chinese, Vietnamese and similar models of economic development are distinguished.

Authors:   Eurasian Economic Commission, SERGEY YU. GLAZIEV
Published: December 2020

The article contains a brief analysis of the fall of the world economy against the background of the new coronavirus pandemic, which negatively affects the foreign trade relations of Russia and the EAEU States. On the other hand, this situation determines the reorientation of trade, economic and investment activity to the domestic market. Together with the opportunities offered by new technological and global economic structures, the current crisis can become a window of opportunity for countries and regions that are aiming for a breakthrough in economic development. To do this, long-standing economic problems must be resolved both at the national and supranational levels.

Published: December 2020

We describe a new instrument capable of high-precision (10−5) polarimetric observations simultaneously in three passbands (BVR). The instrument utilizes electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EM CCD) cameras for high efficiency and fast image readout. The key features of the Double Image Polarimeter—Ultra Fast (DIPol-UF) are: (i) the optical design with high throughput and inherent stability; (ii) great versatility, which makes the instrument optimally suitable for observations of bright and faint targets; and (iii) a control system, which allows the use of the polarimeter remotely. Examples are given of the first results obtained from high signal-to-noise observations of bright nearby stars and of fainter sources such as X-ray binaries in their quiescent states.
The Binary–Host Connection: Astrophysics of Gravitational-Wave Binaries from Host Galaxy Properties

Published: December 2020

Gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars (BNSs) are accompanied by electromagnetic counterparts, making it possible to identify the associated host galaxy. In this work, we explore how properties of the hosts relate to the astrophysical processes leading to the mergers. It is thought that the BNS merger rate within a galaxy at a given epoch depends primarily on the galaxy’s star formation history, as well as the underlying merger time-delay distribution of the binary systems. The stellar history of a galaxy, meanwhile, depends on the cosmological evolution of the galaxy through time, and is tied to the growth of structure in the universe. We study the hosts of BNS mergers in the context of structure formation by populating the UniverseMachine simulations with gravitational wave (GW) events, based on a simple time-delay model. We find that different time-delay distributions predict different properties of the associated host galaxies, including the distributions of stellar mass, star formation rate, halo mass, and local and large-scale clustering of hosts. Moreover, BNSs merging today with short delay times occur preferentially in hosts with high star formation rates, while those with long delay times live in dense regions within massive halos that have low star formation. We show that with

events from current GW detector networks, it is possible to make preliminary distinctions between formation channels which trace stellar mass, halo mass, or star formation rate. We also find that strategies to follow-up GW events with electromagnetic telescopes can be significantly optimized using the clustering properties of their hosts.
The Launching of Cold Clouds by Galaxy Outflows. IV. Cosmic-Ray-driven Acceleration
Authors: Brüggen Marcus , Scannapieco Evan
Published: December 2020

We carry out a suite of simulations of the evolution of cosmic-ray (CR) driven, radiatively cooled cold clouds embedded in hot material, as found in galactic outflows. In such interactions, CRs stream toward the cloud at the Alfvén speed, which decreases dramatically at the cloud boundary, leading to a bottleneck in which pressure builds up in front of the cloud. At the same time, CRs stream along the sides of the cloud, forming a boundary layer where large filaments develop. Shear in this boundary layer is the primary mode of cloud destruction, which is relatively slow in all cases, but slowest in the cases with the lowest Alfvén speeds. Thus, the CR pressure in the bottleneck region has sufficient time to accelerate the cold clouds efficiently. Furthermore, radiative cooling has relatively little impact on these interactions. Our simulations are two-dimensional and limited by a simplified treatment of CR dynamics, the neglect of CR heating, and an idealized magnetic field geometry. Nevertheless, our results suggest that CRs, when acting as the primary source of momentum input, are capable of accelerating clouds to velocities comparable to those observed in galaxy outflows.
Lens Flare: Magnified X-Ray Binaries as Passive Beacons in SETI
Authors: Lacki Brian C.
Published: December 2020

Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) containing neutron stars are both extremely luminous and compact, emitting up to ∼106

within a kilometer-scale boundary layer. This combination allows for easy modulation, motivating an X-ray Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. When X-ray lenses with radii

magnify the LMXB boundary layer, it brightens by a factor of several thousand for a fraction of a second. In addition, there should be occultation events where the neutron star is blocked out. Passive X-ray lenses could require little internal power, and the LMXB light source itself shines for millions of years, with potential for an effective beacon for interstellar communication. A very large number of lenses would be needed to ensure frequent signals in all directions, however, and gathering material to construct them could be very difficult. Avoiding collisions between lenses, aiming them, and building and maintaining their precise shapes pose additional challenges. “Lens flares” of bright LMXBs are easily detectable in the Galaxy, although they would be rare events, occurring perhaps once per decade. Our more sensitive X-ray instruments could detect the eclipses of Galactic LMXBs and possibly intergalactic flares, but it is unlikely they would be observing the LMXB at the right time.
