The article explains detailed structure of monologue speech is, the speech of one person expressing his thoughts, intentions, assessment of events, etc. The development of monological speech of students is an urgent problem in modern society since coherent speech is a necessary condition for successful student education at a university. Having a developed monological speech, students can give detailed answers to the questions of the university program; it is reasoned and logical to state your own ideas; to reproduce the content of texts from textbooks, works of art. Criteria of monological speech: basic (coherence, integrity), additional (grammatical correctness of sentence construction, variety of lexical means). The speaker’s task is to present the material in a logically coherent form, highlighting the most essential parts and maintaining a clear logical transition from one part of the material being presented to another.

The article considers the method of communicative learning, which is widely used in foreign language classes. The use of this method allowed teachers to pay more attention not to grammar and translation, but to colloquial speech and, in this regard, to enrich the vocabulary. The article summarizes the work experience and recommendations of foreign teachers regarding activities and exercises, the presentation of new vocabulary and the basics of grammar in such a way that the new material is better absorbed by students. The role of auxiliary and handouts, which should be an indispensable attribute in foreign language classes, is noted. In conclusion, it is emphasized that, despite the presence of various methods of teaching spoken language, the communicative method is a priority, since it most fully meets the set learning goals.

When attentional and politeness demands clash: The case of mutual gaze and chin pointing in Quiahije Chatino
Authors: Mesh Kate , Cruz Emiliana , Gullberg Marianne
Published: October 2021

Pointing with the chin is a practice attested worldwide: it is an effective and highly recognizable device for re-orienting the attention of the addressee. For the chin point to be observed, the addressee must attend carefully to the movements of the sender’s head. This demand comes into conflict with the politeness norms of many cultures, since these often require conversationalists to avoid looking extensively at one another’s heads and faces. In this paper we explore how the chin point is successfully used in just such a culture, among the Chatino indigenous group of Oaxaca, Mexico. We analyze interactions between multiple dyads of Chatino speakers, examining how senders invite visual attention to the pointing gesture, and how receivers signal that attention, while both participants avoid stretches of mutual gaze. We find that in the Chatino context, the senior (or higher-status) party to the conversation is highly consistent in training their gaze away from their interlocutor. This allows their interlocutor to give visual attention to their face without the risk of meeting the gaze of a higher-status sender, and facilitates close attention to head movements including the chinpoint.
Leadership and Job Demands-Resources Theory: A Systematic Review
Authors: Tummers Lars , Bakker Arnold B.
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this article is to provide a systematic review of leadership and Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory. We have analyzed 139 studies that study the relationship between leadership and Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory. Based on our analysis, we highlight ways forward. First, research designs can be improved by eliminating endogeneity problems. Regarding leadership concepts, proper measurements should be used. Furthermore, we point toward new theory building by highlighting three main ways in which leadership may affect employees, namely by: (1) directly influencing job demands and resources, (2) influencing the impact of job demands and resources on well-being; and (3) influencing job crafting and self-undermining. We hope this review helps researchers and practitioners analyze how leadership and JD-R theory can be connected, ultimately leading to improved employee well-being and organizational performance.
How Children Revise their Beliefs in Light of Reasons
Authors: Schleihauf Hanna , Herrmann Esther , Fischer Julia , Engelmann Jan
Published: October 2021

Here we investigate how reason-responsiveness – the ability to respond appropriately to reasons provided in discourse – develops in young children. In Study 1 (N=58, 26 girls), 4- and 5- , but not 3-year-old children, differentiated good from bad reasons. In Study 2 (N=131, 64 girls), 4- and 5-year-old children considered both the strength of evidence for their initial belief and the quality of the reasons for the alternative view provided by a disagreeing social partner when deciding whether to change their minds. Study 3 (N=80, 42 girls, pre-registered) shows that 4- and 5-year-old children also consider meta-reasons (reasons about reasons) in their belief revision. These results suggest that by age 4, children possess key critical thinking capacities for participating and exchanging reasons in public discourse.
Is replication possible without fidelity?
Authors: Ellefson Michelle Renee , Oppenheimer Daniel
Published: October 2021

Failure of replication attempts in experimental psychology might extend beyond p-hacking, publication bias or hidden moderators; reductions in experimental power can be caused by violations of fidelity to a set of experimental protocols. In this paper, we run a series of simulations to systematically explore how manipulating fidelity influences effect size. We find statistical patterns that mimic those found in ManyLabs style replications and meta-analyses, suggesting that fidelity violations are present in many replication attempts in psychology. Scholars in intervention science, medicine, and education have developed methods of improving and measuring fidelity, and as replication becomes more mainstream in psychology, the field would benefit from adopting such approaches as well.
Elevator music as a tool for the quantitative characterization of reward
Authors: Abrams Ellie Bean , Namballa Richa , He Richard , Poeppel David , Ripolles Pablo
Published: October 2021

While certain musical genres and songs are widely popular, there is still large variability in the music that individual listeners find rewarding or emotional, even among those with a similar musical enculturation. Interestingly, there is one Western genre that is intended to attract minimal attention and evoke a mild emotional response: elevator music. In a series of behavioral experiments, we show that elevator music consistently elicits low pleasure and surprise. Participants reported elevator music as being less pleasurable than music from popular genres, even when participants did not regularly listen to the comparison genre. Participants additionally reported elevator music to be familiar even when they had not explicitly heard the presented song before. Computational and behavioral measures of surprisal further showed that elevator music was less surprising, and thus more predictable, than other well-known genres. Moreover, elevator music covers of popular songs were rated as less pleasurable, surprising, and arousing than their original counterparts. Finally, we used elevator music as a control for self-selected rewarding songs in a proof-of-concept physiological experiment. Our results suggest that elevator music elicits low emotional responses consistently across Western music listeners, making it a unique stimulus to use as a control for studying musical novelty, pleasure, and surprise.
Great for constitution writing but an obstacle to democratic consolidation: The ephemeral value of the Hare Quota formula in Tunisia’s parliamentary elections
Authors: Martin Alexander Peter , Carey John Michael
Published: October 2021

The Hare Quota-Largest Remainders (HQLR) formula promoted consensus-building during Tunisia’s constitution-writing process and in the new democratic regime’s first years but it is now an obstacle to democratic consolidation. HQLR discourages the development of a tractable partisan choice set -- one large enough to afford voters meaningfully distinct options but not so large as to be cognitively overwhelming -- and fosters party fragmentation in parliament, obstructing the formation of workable governing coalitions. One result has been coalitions and national unity governments so heterogeneous as to lack common purpose, frustrating and disillusioning citizens and risking nostalgia for the decisiveness of the previous, authoritarian system. Replacing HQLR with either D’Hondt or St.Lague divisors formula would reverse the incentives toward parliamentary fragmentation, foster a more coherent political party landscape, and, if democratic competition is restored following President Kais Said’s auto coup in July 2021, facilitate Tunisia’s democratic consolidation by clarifying partisan accountability in parliament.
Migration, remittances and child education in Ghana. Evidence from a longitudinal study
Authors: Cebotari Victor
Published: October 2021

Evidence on the time-varying effects of migration, remittances and child education in African contexts remains scarce. This study employs panel data to examine educational outcomes – school enjoyment, and class ranking – of children whose parents migrated internally or internationally and who received in-kind remittances, monetary remittances, or both. The data were collected in 2013, 2014, and 2015 on a panel of school going children and youths aged from 12 to 21 in two urban areas with high out-migration rates in Ghana: Kumasi and Sunyani (N = 741). The panel includes children of both migrant and non-migrant parents. Results indicate dynamic patterns of sending remittances over years, with preferences converging towards sending both in-kind and monetary remittances by internal and international migrant parents. Overall, the education of children benefits when they receive both in-kind and monetary remittances. The positive effects are further enhanced when remittances are directly invested in child education. The absence of remittances has more negative effects on child education, especially for girls. This study gives a more nuanced understanding of the dynamic and intertwined associations between parental migration, remittances and the education of children in transnational families.

Research in order to explore the value of the implementation of Buda Gololi as social capital in the Tidore community, the approach used in this study is a study of leather-weight. Based on observations made that Gololi Culture in its implementation in everyday life certainly has values and norms which of course can strengthen very strong kinship and brotherhood relationships, because its form is like alms in the form of goods and services provided to the bereaved family in terms of alleviating it. the burden he was experiencing. Therefore, the Gololi culture has been maintained by the Tidore people until now and is used as a foothold in life. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Gololi Culture as a Social Capital for the Tidore Community is of course carried out or implemented through several stages, namely, a. Polu Majarita (deliberation), at this stage the community implements the culture beginning with deliberation. b. Fang Bulo (Paying the white cloth), at this stage, it is the first step for the community to replace the money spent by the bereaved family to buy the deceased's shroud. 3. Delivering Gololi, this stage. The community delivers the basic necessities needed by the bereaved family, this is done based on the results of the Majarita Polu (Consultation). The values contained in the implementation of Gololi as social capital consist of mutual values and family values.

The return of metaphysics as a subject matter of historical ontology: analytical review (ending)
Authors: Stoliarova Olga
Published: October 2021

The second part of the article continues the analytical and historiographical overview of the problems that are substantively related to the question of the role, meaning and historical fate of metaphysics. The author focuses on the phenomenon of the return of metaphysics to the philosophy of our time. The author traces the gradual rehabilitation of metaphysical problems in post-positivist studies of sci-ence. An attempt is made to differentiate these studies from the viewpoint of the opposition between internalism and externalism. The author shows the limits of this differentia-tion and highlights the mixed type of re-search, which focuses on the interaction of “external” and “internal” determinants of knowledge. It is shown that the postpositivist idea of the background knowledge extends not only to scientific (empirical) knowledge, but also to its philosophical (theoretical) justification, which is recognized by many re-searchers as historically and culturally conditioned. This opens up the possibility of a historical critique of the ontological presuppositions of the epistemological (transcendental) justification of science. Such presuppositions are considered in relation to the dis-course of negative ontology, which prohibits the cognitive experience of transcendent be-ing. The author shows that the criticism of these assumptions is carried out in the form of a regressive transcendental argument, which, comparing them with a new, philo-sophically revised scientific ontology, reveals their historically limited character. Thus, the regressive transcendental argument allows us to go beyond the negative ontology of the transcendental justification of science. This leads to the replacement of historical epistemology, whose subject matter is limited to knowledge and its historically mobile structures, with historical ontology, which returns to the description and explanation of reality. The author considers the concepts of new re-alism in the context of historical ontology and traces the connection of the new realism with the post-metaphysical and metametaphysical discourses.
The concept of progress and the progress of philosophical vocabulary
Authors: Sokolova Tatiana
Published: October 2021

The article is a response to the arguments by A.L. Nikiforov on the theoretical foundations of the philosophical concept of progress. It focuses on the analysis of the terminological apparatus’ formation within Russian academic philosophy in the 18th century – the time when both Russian science and philosophy emerged. Based on historical material, the author analyses (1) two possible ways of development of philosophical terminology in Russian language; (2) the general position of the Russian language in science and its prospects; (3) the possibility of assessing the changes that have taken place with the philosophical language during this period in the framework of the progressive paradigm. The author identifies the criteria for which the process of the formation of philosophical terminology can be characterized as progressive for Russian philosophy and the Russian language as a whole.
A Transdisciplinary Approach for the Design Optimization of Medical Simulations
Authors: Brunzini Agnese , Peruzzini Margherita , Germani Michele , Messi Daniele , Barbadoro Pamela
Published: October 2021

Simulation in healthcare is rapidly replacing more traditional educational methods, becoming a fundamental step in the medical training path. Medical simulations have a remarkable impact not only on learners’ competencies and skills but also on their attitudes, behaviors, and emotions such as anxiety, stress, mental effort, and frustration. All these aspects are transferred to the real practice and reflected on patients’ safety and outcomes. The design of medical simulations passes through a careful analysis of learning objectives, technology to be used, instructor’s and learners’ roles, performance assessment, and so on. However, an overall methodology for the simulation assessment and consequent optimization is still lacking. The present work proposes a transdisciplinary framework for the analysis of simulation effectiveness in terms of learners’ performance, ergonomics conditions, and emotional states. It involves collaboration among different professional figures such as engineers, clinicians, specialized trainers, and human factors specialists. The aim is to define specific guidelines for the simulation optimization, to obtain enhanced learners’ performance, improved ergonomics, and consequently positively affect the patient treatment, leading to cost savings for the healthcare system. The proposed framework has been tested on a low-fidelity simulation for the training of rachicentesis and has allowed the definition of general rules for its enhancement.
Tracking Underground Metro Cars with Low-Cost Acceleration Sensors
Authors: Zhou Chenxi , Shen Gang
Published: October 2021

Subways and other rapid transit systems are marked symbols of the modern metropolis. As a transdisciplinary service, accurately and safely positioning and tracking the metro trains helps the passengers to plan their travels and provides the operators with auxiliary information about the trains to enhance the metro system’s resilience. However, many general-purpose positioning technologies, such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Wi-Fi signals, do not apply to the situations of underground metro trains. In this paper, we propose a two-stage framework for automatic real-time tracking of metro cars implemented only with low-cost accelerometers, saving the expense for complicated infrastructures. In the off-line stage, reference maps are developed for station-to-station track sections using the onboard acceleration data. To handle the missing data and uncalibrated consumer-grade sensors, Gaussian process regression (GPR) is adopted to denoise and interpolate the online acceleration readings, followed by the application of the Kalman filter algorithm to track the cars in real-time with the help of the reference map. We tested the proposed system in Wuhan Metro Line 2, and the results showed that our system achieved an error below 5% in positioning.

Published: October 2021

Nowadays companies have to face a competitive market that requires small volumes with a high level of customisations. In this context, assembly quality and timeliness is crucial. To guarantee flexibility and personalization, manual operations still have a crucial role for a lot of manufacturing sectors, so that workers’ conditions and ergonomics are important factors to achieve a better product quality and overall cost reduction. Ergonomics evaluation in manufacturing is a challenging and expensive activity that requires a transdisciplinary approach, to merge technical and social sciences to finally have a consolidated and reliable evaluation. This paper compared two digital human simulations tools offered by Siemens Tecnomatix: Jack and Process Simulate. They were applied on the same industrial case study, concerning the hood assembly of an agricultural machine, comparing results on ergonomics reports and usage time. Results confirmed the advantage of adopting a digital approach to predict the human effort and ergonomic risk related to a series of tasks. At the same time, they showed the major strengths and weaknesses of the two analysed tools and defined how they can be successfully adopted by companies. The paper finally provided guidelines to drive companies in choosing the best tool according to their needs.

Authors: Czech Jakub , Skarka Wojciech
Published: October 2021

The article presents an analysis of the possibilities of supporting the Vertical Take off and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle electric power systems by using photovoltaic cells. A typical commercial VTOL class drone with electric power was selected for analysis. Concepts of power supply supported by photovoltaic cells have been developed. Analysis of the potential change in performance through the use of such support are presented on the basis of the UAV simulation model and the model-based design. The simulation model takes into account not only the flight parameters of the drone, but also the drive system with the power supply system and the assumed variable lighting parameters. Such a multidisciplinary model was used to analyse the functional parameters. The analysis also includes hypothetical changes in the performance parameters of photovoltaic cells and their impact on the change in UAV performance as well as the impact of changes in the airframe geometry on the profitability of using such a solution.
Analysis and Optimization of the Propeller Shape for a Stratospheric Drone Research Platform
Authors: Zenowicz Kamil , Skarka Wojciech
Published: October 2021

Fix-wings small aircraft or drones, for flight, must be equipped with a source of thrust. In most cases, it will be propulsion systems including engine and propeller that generate the necessary thrust force. Regardless of whether the system includes an electric motor, combustion, or hydrogen engine of torque moment, the most important element of the system is the propeller. It is the element responsible for generating thrust, which is the force necessary for the flight in each of its stages. The article presents all stages of the analysis and optimization of the propeller for the considered highly flexible structure stratospheric drone. Analysis, after integration with CAD software, allows for the preparation of a comprehensive generative model. The basic propeller parameters were selected on the basis of flight altitude, considered structure, flight time, flight speed, the weight of the structure, assumed location of the engine and propeller. These assumptions made it possible to conduct a preliminary analysis of loads, propeller blade pressure distribution, thrust, and the total level of vibrations. The goal of the research is to develop a methodology of designing and preliminary analysis of propeller, which can be integrated into the generative model.
A Conceptual Framework for Designing Smart Domestic Health Enhancement Devices
Authors: Chee Pei Fen , Kuo Jo-Yu , Chen Chun-Hsien
Published: October 2021

The process of product design and development can be complex, especially in transdisciplinary practice. A design framework is often adopted to better govern this process. In recent years, there is a growing trend for domestic devices promoting health enhancement. However, due to its specific functionality and a strong need for safety emphasis, domestic health enhancement devices need to be distinguished from other domestic consumer products from the initial stages of designing. Therefore, this study aims to explore the influence of design principles on the artefacts by developing a framework for the design and development of domestic health enhancement devices. It adopts the approach of targeting a selected lifestyle or demography and tailoring a set of device functionalities to its needs. Throughout the process, the proposed framework provides disciplined guidelines to achieve its three design objectives – safety, effectiveness, and user receptiveness. A case study is performed to demonstrate the application of the proposed framework in the context of high heel wearers. The sensor-based real-time feedback is integrated into the user involved design process. The first design iteration in accordance to the framework is completed and evaluated.
Ranking of Trapezoidal Bipolar Fuzzy Numbers Based on a New Improved Score Function
Authors: Jeevaraj S
Published: October 2021

Bipolar fuzzy numbers plays a vital role in any Decision-making problem modelled under a bipolar fuzzy environment. In 2018, Akram and Arshad [1] introduced a new ranking function on the class of Trapezoidal Bipolar fuzzy numbers based on the area of the left and right membership function of a TrBFN, and they have discriminated any two TrBFNs by using it. The ranking principle introduced by Akram and Arshad [1] works better only when two bipolar fuzzy numbers have different rankings. We describe that the ranking function does not work with counterexamples when two or more bipolar fuzzy numbers have the same rankings. In this paper, we improve the ranking principle introduced in [1] by introducing a new Improved Score function. Firstly, we discuss the drawbacks and limitations of the ranking function introduced by Akram and Arshad [1]. Secondly, we introduce a new ranking function and study its properties. Thirdly, we introduce a new ranking principle by combining Akram and Arshad’s [1] ranking function and the proposed ranking function. Finally, we show the efficiency of the proposed ranking principle in comparing arbitrary TrBFNs.
Interpretable Dual-Feature Recommender System Using Reviews1
Authors: Lei Jing Sheng , Zhu Chen Si Cong , Yang Sheng Ying , Liang Guan Mian , Hu Cong , Song Wei
Published: October 2021

Reviews have been commonly used to alleviate the sparsity problem in recommender systems, which has significantly improved the recommender performance. The review-based recommender systems can extract users features and items from review texts. The existing models such as D-Attn and NARRE employ convolutional neural networks and a coarse-grained attention mechanism to code reviews that have been embedded using the static word embedding, ignoring the long distance text information and lacks interpretability. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes the DNRDR (Dual-feature Neural Recommender with Dual-attention using Reviews) model, which can extract dual features of review text and can also enhance the interpretability using the word-level and review-level attention mechanisms. The proposed model is verified by experiments and compared with the state-of-the-art models. Besides, the dual-level attention mechanism can be visualized to improve interpretability.

Aiming at the problems of low energy utilization rate of ship micro-grid, imperfect control strategy, and single simulation situation, this paper uses the construction method of terrestrial micro-grid to build a detailed ship micro-grid model based on wind and solar power generation technology on the MATLAB/simulink simulation platform, and uses hill climbing search Method and disturbance observation method to control wind and photovoltaic power generation system. In the simulation process, several situations of wind speed, light intensity, and load sudden changes during the operation of the micro-grid were simulated. The simulation results show that the micro-grid model can track the maximum power point in real time, and the wind energy utilization rate is increased to 0.48, and the bus voltage and current are equal. The actual operation requirements are met, and the correctness and effectiveness of the simulation model and control strategy are verified, which is helpful to the in-depth study of the construction of the ship micro-grid model.

Authors: Feng Bo , Hui Zhipeng , Feng Junwen
Published: October 2021

The traditional analytic hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy evaluation method and the Delphi method of group decision-making are organically combined and a new method of system analysis called Fuzzy Delphi Analytic Hierarchy Process (FDAHP) is proposed. Based on the Delphi survey of the group decision-making information, the group’s pairwise judgment of objects is fuzzily processed, and the results of the group’s overall judgment are used as decision-making environmental parameters. Furthermore, the group’s comprehensive weight of objects is determined according to the optimistic coefficient of group decision-making consideration. A simple example is given to illustrate the specific implementation steps and feasibility of the method. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the method are briefly discussed, and the possible research topics in the future are proposed.

Published: October 2021

This paper proposes a secure image authentication scheme that can locate the tampered regions, recover the lost contents and hide application-specific sensitive data. In this scheme, an encrypted watermark that comprises tamper localization, recovery and application-specific information is placed in the selected pixels, which is extracted and decrypted to identify the tampered regions, recover the tampered regions approximate to original image contents and extract the hidden data. The watermark is highly secure and sensitive to any modification in the image. The proposed scheme ensures lossless recovery of the original image and data from an untampered image. The experimental results show that this scheme generates watermarked image of high quality and has high resistance to copy-move, image splicing, vector quantization and collage attacks. As compared with state-of-the-art schemes, the proposed scheme provides better recovered image quality under extensive tampering.

Published: October 2021

Background: Modifiable vascular risk factors have been associated with late-life cognitive impairment. The Life Simple 7 (LS7) score comprises seven cardiovascular health metrics: smoking, diet, physical activity, body mass index, plasma glucose, total serum cholesterol, and blood pressure. Objective: To investigate the association between individual and composite LS7 metrics and rate of cognitive decline, and potential differences in these associations between young-old and old-old individuals. Methods: This cohort study included 1,950 participants aged≥60 years (M = 70.7 years) from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care-Kungsholmen (SNAC-K), who underwent repeated neuropsychological testing (episodic and semantic memory, verbal fluency, processing speed, global cognition) across 12 years. The LS7 score was assessed at baseline and categorized as poor, intermediate, or optimal. Level and change in cognitive performance as a function of LS7 categories were estimated using linear mixed-effects models. Results: Having an optimal LS7 total score was associated with better performance (expressed in standard deviation units) at baseline for perceptual speed (β= 0.21, 95%CI 0.12–0.29), verbal fluency (β= 0.08, 0.00–0.16), and global cognition (β= 0.06, 0.00–0.12) compared to the poor group. Age-stratified analyses revealed associations for cognitive level and change only in the young-old (< 78 years) group. For the specific metrics, diverging patterns were observed for young-old and old-old individuals. Conclusion: Meeting the LS7 criteria for ideal cardiovascular health in younger old age is associated with slower rate of cognitive decline. However, the LS7 criteria may have a different meaning for cognitive function in very old adults.
Integrating generalized domain adaptation and Fisher discriminative learning: A unified framework for face recognition with single sample per person
Authors: Chu Yongjie , Zhao Lindu , Ahmad Touqeer
Published: October 2021

In this paper, an enhanced discriminative feature learning (EDFL) method is proposed to address single sample per person (SSPP) face recognition. With a separate auxiliary dataset, EDFL integrates Fisher discriminative learning and domain adaptation into a unified framework. The separate auxiliary dataset and the gallery/probe dataset are from two different domains (named source and target domains respectively) and have different data distributions. EDFL is modeled to transfer the discriminative knowledge learned from the source domain to the target domain for classification. Since the gallery set with SSPP contains scarce number of samples, it is hard to accurately represent the data distribution of the target domain, which hinders the adaptation effect. To overcome this problem, the generalized domain adaption (GDA) method is proposed to realize good overall domain adaptation when one domain contains limited samples. GDA considers the both global and local domain adaptation effect at the same time. Further, to guarantee that the learned domain adaptation components are optimal for discriminative learning, the domain adaptation and Fisher discriminant model learning are unified into a single framework and an efficient algorithm is designed to optimize them. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by extensive evaluation and comparison with some state-of-the-art methods.
Implement multi-step-ahead forecasting with multi-point association fuzzy logical relationship for time series
Authors: Li Fang , Zhang Lihua , Wang Xiao , Liu Shihu
Published: October 2021

In the existing high-order fuzzy logical relationship (FLR) based forecasting model, each FLR is used to describe the association between multiple premise observations and a consequent observation. Therefore, these FLRs concentrate on the one-step-ahead forecasting. In real applications, there exist another kind of association: the association between multiple premise observations and multiple consequent observations. For such association, the existing FLRs can’t express and ignored. To depict it, the high-order multi-point association FLR is raised in this study. The antecedent and consequent of a high-order multi-point association FLR are consisted of multiple observations. Thus, the proposed FLR reflects the influence of multiple premise observations on the multiple consequent observations, and can be applied for multi-step-ahead forecasting with no cumulative errors. On the basis of high-order multi-point association FLR, the high-order multi-point trend association FLR is constructed, it describes the trend association in time series. By using these two new kinds of FLRs, a fuzzy time series based multi-step-ahead forecasting model is established. In this model, the multi-point (trend) association FLRs effective in capturing the associations of time series and improving forecasting accuracy. The benefits of the proposed FLRs and the superior performance of the established forecasting model are demonstrated through the experimental analysis.
