Special Features in Physical Rehabilitation Program Compiling during Primary Prosthetics in Patients with Traumatic Amputation of the Lower Limb
Authors: Bolotov Denis D.
Published: July 2022

Patients with traumatic amputations of the lower limbs have a number of typical dysfunctions and complications. Optimal results of prosthetics are achieved when the quality of the stump formation corresponds to the capabilities of the prosthesis and an adequate rehabilitation program in terms of goals and objectives. At the same time, the rehabilitation program affects both the quality of the formation of the stump and the functional reserves of the body, which ultimately affects the choice of prosthesis joints.
Aim. To clarify the approaches on making up physical rehabilitation programs, taking into account the prevention and correction of complications.
Medical rehabilitation expert diagnostics is both the basis in compiling rehabilitation programs, allowing to achieve their personalized nature, and an assessment tool of rehabilitation measures effectiveness. Counseling is an important preparatory part of the rehabilitation program for prosthetics, the theoretical foundations for the prevention of complications for the disabled.
Prosthesis manufacturing. When knowing prosthesis manufacturing stages, it is possible to create conditions for the most complete adaptation in the prosthesis-limb-organism system both in the short and long term periods. Preparation of a limb for prosthetics often one of the longest, occupying and significant sections of preparation for the restoration of static-dynamic function, associated with the largest number of complications; where the use of physical rehabilitation technologies allows the prevention and correction of such complications. Preparatory work in accordance with the general algorithm for conducting rehabilitation measures, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the continuity and regularity of rehabilitation measures allows to achieve the greatest possible result.
Teaching the use of the prosthesis. Starting from the sequential mastering of all the basic elements with the subsequent transition to performing complex coordinated movements with the help of the prosthesis and only then working out the walking options directly on the prosthesis, allows to master the correct technique from the outset. It means that training to master walking on a prosthesis can also be represented as a sequence, an algorithm of actions. Stepping away from the required sequence may lead to the appearance and consolidation of irrational patterns when walking, which in turn is fraught with a violation of the correct walking pattern, an increase in its energy intensity and pronounced difficulties in its correction in the future.
Conclusion. The complication prevention in the implementation of prosthetics with the help of physical rehabilitation is based primarily on the observance of a clear algorithm of sequential actions in conjunction with an individualized selection of rehabilitation means.

Authors: Petrova Roza V. , Nikolaev Nikolay S. , Tsykunov Mikhail B.
Published: July 2022

Up to 25% of patients after knee arthroplasty are not satisfied with the results of the operation. Revision interventions are performed in 60–80% of cases in the first 2–5 years after the primary arthroplasty.
Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the early postoperative rehabilitation comprehensive program from the standpoint of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) to improve the results of rehabilitation after arthroplasty.
Material and methods. The results of 180 patients rehabilitation after the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with simultaneous reconstruction of the lower limb biological axis were evaluated in two groups: I – observations (n=120), II – comparisons (n=60). Postoperative rehabilitation in the group I was carried out according to of the early rehabilitation comprehensive program after TKA, developed in the clinic, in the group II – according to the standard scheme. State of the patient was assessed by the dynamics of the pain syndrome, lower limbs muscle strength, goniometric indicators, the severity of lameness, muscle hypotrophy, limb shortening value, functional activity and quality of life. For analysis of changes in the level of damage according to the ICF, clinical tests were used.
Results. From the standpoint of the ICF, the results of patients using the early postoperative rehabilitation program were equal or superior to the results of the comparison group.
Conclusion. A rehabilitation program for patients after TKA, formed on the basis of a system for assessing the structural, functional and social adaptation characteristics of the patient, is effective and allows to predict the effectiveness of the rehabilitation technologies.
Forestalling Anti-Ergonomics in Plastic Surgery: Challenging the Modus Operandi?
Authors: Nicolas Gregory , Mohammad Arbab
Published: July 2022

Despite formidable advances throughout surgical disciplines spanning decades, plastic surgeons, especially microsurgeons, have most certainly ignored the memo to sufficiently recognize the alarming prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), a consequence of anti-ergonomic postures assumed during intricate procedures (eg. microsurgery), capable of physical limitations which can lead to early retirement. Collective ignorance of the aforementioned predicament is reflected in the plastic surgery literature wherein epidemiologically rigorous studies remain non-existent. Anecdotal reports evidencing the crippling effect of anti-ergonomic postures along with rigorous operative practices in plastic surgery procedures that have exaggerated operative durations suggest increased predisposition to occupational disorders like cervical disk disease, distal interphalangeal arthrosis, ligamentous injury, pulmonary embolism secondary to deep vein thrombosis and tendinitis. Remarkably, evidence in the literature highlights the commencement of musculoskeletal discomfort as early as in residency, even though previous studies have documented 35.4 years as the initiation point of musculoskeletal symptoms.

An impact assessment of alien invasive plants in South Africa generally dispersed by native avian species
Authors: Bitani Nasiphi , Shivambu Tinyiko C. , Shivambu Ndivhuwo , Downs Colleen T.
Published: July 2022

Invasive alien plant species have been identified as a major threat to biodiversity and the relationship with native avian dispersers may increase their invasion potential. The impact of invasive plant species needs to be quantified using comparable assessment tools across different habitats and species to allocate limited resources to high-priority species. Here, we used the Generic Impact Scoring System (GISS) to assess the impacts of 16 fleshy-fruited alien invasive plant species in South Africa generally dispersed by native avian species. The results showed that fleshy-fruited invasive species have both environmental and socio-economic impacts. The cumulated impact scores for lantana (Lantana camara) and the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) were the highest, with scores of 42 and 32, respectively. Some species, such as white mulberry (Morus alba), camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), American bramble (Rubus cuneifolius) and Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius), had low overall impact scores of 8, 18, 14 and 16, respectively, but scored the maximum impact of 5 for certain mechanisms. Environmental impacts of fleshy-fruited invasive plant species had a high impact magnitude through effects on the ecosystem and vegetation. Socio-economic impacts were mainly through effects on forest production, agriculture and human health. Species with large crop sizes, small seeds and fruit sizes had higher environmental and socio-economic impact magnitude. The information generated in this study is important for guiding resource allocation and preventing the uncontrolled introduction of invasive species in South Africa. The impact of the fleshy-fruited invasive species transcended sectors and, therefore, effective management of invasive species will require the collaboration of multiple and inter-sectoral stakeholders in South Africa.
In memoriam: John S. Dugdale (5 Apr 1934–4 Sep 2020)

Published: July 2022

John Dugdale, who died on 4th September 2020 aged 86, was a towering figure in New Zealand entomology for the last 60 years. He was a well-known and very frequently consulted expert on Lepidoptera, tachinid flies and cicadas, but his interests and knowledge extended far beyond these groups. He will always hold a unique place in the entomological history of this country and he also made significant contributions on the world stage; the breadth and depth of his expertise and the advances he made in our understanding of the New Zealand Lepidoptera fauna are unlikely to be equalled by any one person in future.

Authors: Chang Jiaqi , Yin Xiangxin , Ma Caoyuan , Zhao Donghua , Sun Yongzheng
Published: July 2022

In this paper, the finite-time and fixed-time stochastic synchronization of complex networks with pinning control are investigated. Considering the time and energy cost of control, combining the advantages of finite-time control technology and pinning control technology, efficient protocols are proposed. Compared with the existing research, the influence of noise is considered, and sufficient conditions for the network to achieve stochastic synchronization in a finite time are given in this paper. Based on the stability theory of stochastic differential equations, the upper bound of the setting time is estimated. Finally, the effects of control parameters, noise intensity, and the number of control agents on the network synchronization rate are studied. Numerical simulations verify the validity and correctness of the theoretical results.

Published: July 2022

The role of geological and geotematic mapping has recently come to the forefront in spatial/environmental management. This paper aims to present some cases of boundary extension in the use of contemporary cartographic tools (GIS and WEBGIS). The potential of digital maps and associated databases offers a wide range of applications, responding to the urgent need to make available to users (practitioners in the technical sectors, planners and society as a whole) the most important concepts to concretely achieve better land management, active risk prevention and sustainable resource enhancement. The application of geomorphological maps to issues closer to society can effectively create its approach to more properly technical-scientific issues, fostering a shared awareness, useful in protecting and enhancing the fragile Italian territory. The described experiences focus on GIS, which confirms its effectiveness both for social involvement in environmental issues, and in territorial/environmental management.
Online prediction of total sugar content and optimal control of glucose feed rate during chlortetracycline fermentation based on soft sensor modeling
Authors: Wang Ping , Sun Qiaoyan , Qiao Yuxin , Liu Lili , Han Xiang , Chen Xiangguang
Published: July 2022

In the process of chlortetracycline (CTC) fermentation, no instrument can be used to measure the total sugar content of the fermentation broth online due to its high viscosity and large amount of impurities, so it is difficult to realize the optimal control of glucose feed rate in the fermentation process. In order to solve this intractable problem, the relationship between on-line measurable parameters and total sugar content (One of the parameters that are difficult to measure online) in fermentation tank is deeply analyzed, and a new soft sensor model of total sugar content in fermentation tank and a new optimal control method of glucose feed rate are proposed in this paper. By selecting measurable variables of fermentation tank, determining different fermentation stages, constructing recursive fuzzy neural network (RFNN) and applying network rolling training method, an online soft sensor model of total sugar content is established. Based on the field multi-batch data, the change trend of the amount of glucose feed required at each fermentation stage is divided, and the online prediction of total sugar content and the optimal control strategy of glucose feed rate are realized by using the inference algorithm of expert experience regulation rules and soft sensor model of total sugar content. The experiment results in the real field demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively predict the total sugar content of fermentation broth online, optimize the control of glucose feed rate during fermentation process, reduce production cost and meet the requirements of production technology.
INNOVATIONS IN FRICTION STIR WELDING FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS
Authors: Cater S
Published: July 2022

Friction stir welding (FSW) has been widely used for the fabrication of safety critical aluminium structures in the aerospace, road, rail and marine transport industries since its invention in 1991. Due to its ability to make high strength, tough, fatigue resistant welds with very low distortion, and the fact that the process can work underwater, considerable
interest has been shown over many years in transferring the technology to the welding of steel. The difficulties in developing tools able to stir steel at the elevated temperatures required, in excess of 900oC, are now being overcome and the process is being developed for welding steel with an initial focus on marine applications. This paper discusses the
technical advances being made at TWI and outlines the newly begun EU project “RESURGAM” which looks to develop the process for both the construction and repair of ships.
De poca valor. Consideraciones sobre la reutilización de libros en la Corona de Aragón en la baja Edad Media
Authors: Mandingorra Llavata María Luz
Published: July 2022

El análisis de los testimonios conservados, tanto documentales como literarios y artísticos, revela que, hasta la difusión efectiva de la imprenta en las primeras décadas del siglo XVI, el libro era considerado un producto caro y difícil de conseguir. Por este motivo, se desarrollaron diversas estrategias destinadas a garantizar su preservación y su transmisión. La documentación evidencia el cuidado en el traspaso de los libros, en especial, aquellos unidos al ejercicio de una actividad profesional. Así mismo, muestra cómo generaba un reciclaje de las colecciones, ya que, al desintegrarse, perdían su condición original para dar lugar a realidades muy distintas a las iniciales. Finalmente, este paso dejaba sus huellas en la morfología de los libros, que eran desprovistos de algunos de sus elementos constitutivos, sustituidos por otros más adecuados a las exigencias de sus nuevos dueños y de las renovadas funciones que deberían satisfacer.

« Statues parlantes » et voix divines dans le monde romain (IIe S. AV. J.-C.- IIe S. AP. J.-C.)
Authors: Estienne Sylvia
Published: July 2022

Toutes les statues ne parlent pas ; il faut la conjonction de différents facteurs pour faire d’une statue un lieu d’énonciation. Le dispositif des « statues parlantes » romaines repose ainsi sur un modèle d’énonciation spécifique, jouant à la fois sur l’identité du locuteur, la nature du discours et la médiation de l’écrit. En comparant le dispositif des statues parlantes modernes aux dispositifs antiques, on eut mettre en évidence les écarts : dans la Rome impériale, le statut de l’image et la construction de la parole publique n’autorisent pas les mêmes détournements. Faire parler les statues des dieux reste à ce titre une pratique tout à fait exceptionnelle, qui mérite d’être examinée. Deux types de « statues divines parlantes » peuvent être distinguées : des statues miraculeuses et des statues oraculaires ; dans les deux cas cependant, l’énonciation d’une parole divine est perçue par nos sources comme problématique. Reprenant un corpus bien connu, la réflexion vise à mieux comprendre le statut spécifique de l’image divine et de sa perception dans un contexte cultuel.
Os habent et non loquentur
Authors: De Bruyn Gabriel
Published: July 2022

Les statues divines furent des cibles privilégiées des violences religieuses de la fin de l’Antiquité. Parmi celles qui ont traversé l’épreuve de la liquidation du paganisme, certaines présentent des traces de mutilations intentionnelles au ni- veau des organes sensoriels que l’on peut vraisemblablement relier au contexte de la christianisation. En Afrique du Nord, plusieurs statues témoignent de ces mutilations des sens qui s’inscrivent dans la tradition de la damnatio memoriae et correspondent probablement à des actions officielles décidées dans le cadre municipal dans la seconde moitié du IVe siècle ou dans la première moitié du Ve siècle. Les auteurs chrétiens de la fin de l’Antiquité critiquent farouchement l’inanité des statues en invoquant un célèbre passage du Psaume 115 et ce der - nier servit peut-être à justifier la mutilation des organes sensoriels des statues païennes

Published: July 2022

This paper tempts to implement a new machine-learning algorithm for detecting attacks in WSN. The developed model involves three main phases (a) Data Acquisition, (b) Feature Extraction, and (c) Detection. Next to the data acquisition from different benchmark datasets, the attributes in the form of features are extracted. Further, a new hybrid machine learning algorithm with the integration of Neural Network (NN), and Fuzzy Classifier is used for detection, and it is termed as FNN. As an improvement to the developed hybrid model, the number of hidden neurons in NN, and the membership function of Fuzzy Classifier is optimized by a modified optimization algorithm called Opposition-based Deer Hunting Optimization Algorithm (O-DHOA). Finally, the experiment analysis of our proposed model provides an effective solution to solve the problem of IDS detection and improves the performance of intrusion detection.
Explicitness of Attribution in Academic Discourse
Authors: Zhan Hongwei , Shi Xiangjun
Published: July 2022

Academic discourse is a kind of dialogic interaction between scholars and the interplay of ‘averral’ and ‘attribution’. Citation, as source using, is the means of attributing the borrowed propositions to a particular source. This study addresses the issue of classifying citations. By comparing the classification scheme of integral citations with that of non-integral citations, we argue for the necessity of a form-based scheme. A new typology of non-integral citations is proposed according to their formal features. The sub-types of citation (e.g. Chorus-citation, Solo-citation) are characterized along the continuum of attribution explicitness, ranging from low to high.

Abstract

There are over 250 species of cinnamon. Each has its distinct morphology and phytochemical composition, which may result in varied therapeutic effects. However, clinical studies have rarely put emphasis on the species of cinnamon being investigated. This scoping review summarized the clinical evidence of Cinnamomum cassia (also known as Cinnamomum aromaticum), which is the species of cinnamon used in traditional Chinese medicine. Electronic searches were conducted on PubMed from its inception till August 2021. Clinical studies that were published in English, stating monotherapy with Cinnamomum cassia, Cinnamomum aromaticum, or “Rou Gui” were included. The 15 included clinical studies investigated the effects of Cinnamomum cassia on type-2 diabetes patients (n=7), and healthy adults (n=8). In the type 2 diabetes population, Cinnamomum cassia supplementation of as low as 1 g/d seemed to improve HbA1c in only poorly controlled diabetes. In the healthy population, Cinnamomum cassia supplementation appeared to influence blood glucose response in a dose-dependent manner, with current studies indicating a minimum of 5 g/d to achieve significant improvement. Studies also showed potential improvement in insulin sensitivity with prolonged Cinnamomum cassia supplementation. However, there were apparent heterogeneity among studies and uncertainties regarding the accuracy of reported cinnamon species. Therefore, the therapeutic effects of Cinnamomum cassia remain inconclusive. Future larger scale and more rigorous clinical studies, with clear identification of Cinnamomum species used, are needed for more conclusive evidence of the clinical effects of Cinnamomum cassia.

This study aims to find effective concentration and lethal dose of benzocaine in Black sea salmon and determine effect of exposure time to air on survival rate of fish. In the study total 600 fish used with 3.02 ±0.14 cm and 0.29 ± 0.03 grams. Fresh water for trout rearing used and water temperature was 11.4±0.66°C during experiment. In order to determine the effective anesthetic dose of benzocaine in Black Sea salmon 20 fry were treated with benzocaine solutions of 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 mg/l. To determination of lethal concentration five benzocaine concentration tested as 60, 70, 75, 80, and 85 mg/l. fry were simultaneously released into 28 mg /l consecration benzocaine solution to determine effect of exposing fish to air. After being kept in an anesthetic substance for 3 minutes, all fish were taken on fish net at the same time and the fish were exposed to air for 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes respectively, and they were taken to separate tanks according to their exposure time to the air and observed for 24 hours, mortality were noted. Effective concentration and lethal dose were determined by Probit analysis. As a result, this study showed that 25-26 mg/l benzocaine is sufficient to anesthesia Black sea salmon and approximately 3 times of this dose is lethal for these fish. Also, it showed that air exposure after anesthetic use is very critical in salmon fish fry. After from 10 minutes 15 to 20 minutes of air exposure considerable fatalities occurred. Survival rates were 80 to 90 % between 5 and 10 minutes of air exposure however, when fish leave in air for 15 minutes and 20 minutes this rate fall drastically to below 20 % survival rate within first 24 hours.

Published: July 2022

Heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a member of the Heat-shock protein family that plays an important role in cellular homeostasis against various stressors in fish. This research aimed to identify the full length of cDNA sequence HSP70 in African catfish C. gariepinus and assessed its mRNA expression under various tissues and stress conditions. The cDNA was cloned and amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by bi-directional sequencing. The mRNA expression was quantified using the real-time PCR (qPCR) method. A full-length ORF of C. gariepinus HSP70 cDNA was 1932 bp long, encoded 643 amino acids. Three signature sequences of the HSP70 family were detected in the predicted amino acid sequence. The C. gariepinus HSP70 showed the highest similarity in nucleotide and amino acid sequence (>90%) to HSP70 from other Siluriformes catfish species. The HSP70 mRNA was expressed in all tested tissues, with the highest expression found in the liver and spleen, followed by the intestine, heart, head-kidney, and gill. The C. gariepinus HSP70 expression was significantly induced generally after 6 hours of bacterial infection, transportation, heat shock, and high nitrite exposure. The results indicated that the HSP70 gene could serve as an early stress biomarker in C. gariepinus
De Novo Assembly and Annotation of Microalga Tetradesmus obliquus Transcriptome
Authors: Unuvar Omer Can , Unlu Ercan Selcuk
Published: July 2022

Tetradesmus obliquus is a unicellular green microalga and considered as a potential source for biotechnological production of pigments such as lutein. No genome-related data is available for T. obliquus that would increase the ability to develop new approaches in biotechnological applications. We present the first transcriptome data for T. obliquus. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive transcriptome annotation and identification of conserved genes involved in lutein pigment biosynthesis in Tetradesmus obliquus cells by analyzing pooled RNA-Seq data. Next-Generation Sequencing was applied for the pooled cDNAs library prepared by combining the cell cultures collected from samples exposed to dark and high light intensity conditions. Transcripts were assembled by the de novo assembly approach. Trinotate software was used for functional annotation of assembled transcripts. We also carried out BLAST analysis comparing the transcriptome data against known lutein biosynthesis genes. The 49.15% of the assembled sequences were functionally annotated, providing a total of 21490 unigenes. Our data also revealed the transcript sequences for ten conserved genes required for lutein biosynthesis. The data produced in this study can be used for molecular approaches in biotechnological applications related to T. obliquus, such as increasing the yield of pigment production.
La dimension existentielle des textes-listes perecqiens au prisme de la philosophie du quotidien de Jolanta Brach-Czaina

Published: July 2022

The Existential Dimension of Georges Perec’s Text-Lists through the Prism of Jolanta Brach-Czaina’s Philosophy of Everyday Life

The interest in the ordinary, everyday life, inscribed deeply in Georges Perec’s prose, was the reason for which he developed and theorized the notion of “infra-ordinaire” that determined non only most of his literary projects, but also his point of view on the reality. The aim of this work is to see some of Perec’s texts, for which he chose the privileged form of list, from the new perspective and to verify if their immersion into day-to-day life possesses an existential dimension. The methodology used for this purpose relies on the work of Polish philosopher Jolanta Brach-Czaina gathered in the book Szczeliny istnienia.

From the Critique of the Dichotomy between Facts and Values to the Redefinition of the Place of Science in the New Rhetoric

The word “rhetoric”, which has crossed the centuries, can be found at the confluence of various disciplines (philosophy, linguistics, law, communication). It is much less spontaneously associated with the sciences. However, Perelman suggests a kinship between his concerns and the work of certain epistemologists (e.g. Polanyi, Kuhn, Gonseth). Above all, we would like to show how, through a rather formal mechanism and a wise limitation of its programme, the New Rhetoric manages, in our opinion, to escape the pitfall of absolute relativism.

The article deals with the modal scheme of the interrogative sentence in Italian. For this purpose, the inflectional verbal mood in Italian is observed with the aim to describe the way in which it operates along with non-grammatical means in the act of indication of different illocutionary act and various modal meaning of the deontic and epistemic modality that may be associated with this sentence type. For this purpose the verbal mood is viewed within the modal scheme of a particular sentence type and as the modal centre of a type of utterance that may function as several illocutionary acts. Both direct and indirect speech acts are taken into consideration.

New Perspective on Romanian Post-Communist Literature. Mihai Iovănel, History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1990–2020

The article addresses Mihai Iovănel’s 2021 History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1990–2020, the first history of Romanian literature that presents the development of Romanian post-communist prose and poetry. Iovănel’s book sparked a heated debate among literary critics, historians and writers, because it discusses and redefines prevalent concepts in Romanian literary theory and criticism, focusing on the extraliterary (political, social, economic) conditioning of literary production and inscribing Romanian literature into the system of transnational literary interactions. The paper shows thus the most important assumptions of Iovănel’s work and discusses the critical reception of the volume among Romanian intellectuals.

A study on the role of critical thinking in design research
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Lee won sub , Nah Ken
Published: July 2022

In modern history, design has changed from styling, where meaning is in charge of aesthetics, to a tool of strategy for innovation and process that means creative problem solving. The meeting of critical thinking that allows one to judge biased information with reasonable doubt in the flood of reckless information according to these trends and changes in the times is a sufficiently predictable part. As time goes by, more changes will be made with the development of technology, and rational decision-making will also increase in importance. In this paper, the conceptual model that macroscopically simplified the design process into 4 steps of Jones and 2 steps of Tim Brown was critically considered through critical thinking. It was also pointed out that without critical thinking in the research stage, it is impossible to know what to design and what to research. In this paper, the concept, essence, and application of critical thinking are divided into three stages, and critical thinking has been discussed in depth, and three key arguments are asserted for application to reality. The definition of the evil problem, the balance of creative thinking, and the improvement of convergent and divergent thinking are these three. Critical consideration through the application of critical thinking in design research can provide a theoretical foundation for the development of the design process in the future.
A study on design plan for Activation of village community space: focusing on village Sarangchae, Dong-gu, Gwang-ju
Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Kim Eui Hwa , Moon Jeong Min
Published: July 2022

The time has come when the value of the community within the living area is attracting attention, and local-centered interactions are taking place in Korea as well. In order to solve various social problems, we are creating a community space tailored to the local area. The village community space is used for a variety of purposes according to the region, serving as a basis for village community activities and serving as a focal point for strengthening the village community. In this study, in order to revitalize the local community according to this social flow, a plan for revitalizing the village community space was studied. The research method was conducted through theoretical considerations and case analysis through previous studies and literature data, and elements of local community activation were derived through prior studies. Based on the derived activation factors, case analysis is conducted, and the current status and spatial characteristics are derived based on this. As a result, based on the concept and case analysis so far, we propose the direction and applicability of the village community space for revitalizing the local community in the future.

Reliability and Sensitivity Analyses of Structures Related to Eurocodes
Authors: Kala Zdeněk , Omishore Abayomi
Published: July 2022

This article focuses on researching new concepts of global sensitivity analysis, which are directly oriented to reliability and the limit states of structures. A primary case study is performed to compare total sensitivity indices oriented to probability and design quantiles. The obtained results show that although the values of the total indices may differ, the sensitivity ranking is the same. Contrast functions are a suitable theoretical basis for sensitivity analysis. Reliability sensitivity analysis can be performed by following the concept of standard EN 1990 using design quantiles. The design quantiles of resistance and load are a suitable alternative to directly computing the probability of failure. Global sensitivity analysis oriented to design quantiles has proven helpful in measuring the influence of input variables on structural reliability.
Squeaky/Pain: Articulating the Felt Experience of Pain for Somaesthetic Interactions
Authors: Demir Arife Dila , Kuusk Kristi , Nimkulrat Nithikul
Published: July 2022

This pictorial illustrates the methodological tools for articulating the felt experience of chronic pain used for designing somaesthetic interactions. To do this, it presents the design process of a case study named Squeaky/Pain, a soma extension aiming to augment somaesthetic awareness of the pain involved in the appreciation of both pleasant and disturbing feelings and sensations. The soma extension is an interactive wearable that facilitates a sound-motion interaction to mimic the wearer’s pain experience, from agony to relief. The case study focuses on a less explored aspect of somaesthetic interactions which is the mediation of disturbing experiences for sensory awareness. Through the soma extension that mediates disturbing experiences, the study aims to improve people’s somatic knowledge and their lives as a result. The design process of Squeaky/Pain requires detailed accounts of lived bodily experiences to create somaesthetic interactions. To access a detailed articulation of felt experiences, various tools are employed to articulate the first- and second-person pain experience for design use. These are different types of body maps, video analysis, material and form explorations, journals, in-depth interviews and self-interviews. The ideation and the testing phases have proven that such tools complement one another to access the versatile aspects of felt experiences. In this pictorial, we demonstrate ways in which visual, verbal and written tools can be applied to reveal implicit bodily experiences to inform somaesthetic interaction design.
Gaussianity and the Kalman Filter: A Simple Yet Complicated Relationship
Authors: Uhlmann Jeffrey , Julier Simon J.
Published: July 2022

One of the most common misconceptions made about the Kalman filter when applied to linear systems is that it requires an assumption that all error and noise processes are Gaussian. This misconception has frequently led to the Kalman filter being dismissed in favor of complicated and/or purely heuristic approaches that are supposedly ``more general'' in that they can be applied to problems involving non-Gaussian noise. The fact is that the Kalman filter provides rigorous and optimal performance guarantees that do not rely on any distribution assumptions beyond mean and error covariance information. These guarantees even apply to use of the Kalman update formula when applied with nonlinear models, as long as its other required assumptions are satisfied. Here we discuss misconceptions about its generality that are often found and reinforced in the literature, especially outside the traditional fields of estimation and control.
