"The Lincoln Corsair is a compact premium crossover on Ford's global C (compact class) platform, replacing the Lincoln MKC. The prime focus of the research and development workstreams of the integral bushing rear suspension architecture for the new Lincoln Corsair was to significantly improve the performance in terms of impact harshness as well as noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) behavior compared to the predecessor model Lincoln MKC. The integral bushing rear suspension architecture development included benchmarking activities, definition of attributes and targets, suspension concept design as well as system evaluation and selection. The concept development work was conducted with special attention to key requirements implied by a compact premium crossover product like the Lincoln Corsair as well as design constraints introduced by the platform and the sister product Ford Kuga. This paper focuses on prototyping and testing aspects of the integral bushing rear suspension architecture. Various key architectural principles enabled the successful implementation in the new Lincoln Corsair. The integral bushing rear suspension architecture of the new Lincoln Corsair features various novel design elements indicating the innovative value of the new architecture. Both the springs as well as the shock absorbers are directly connected to the wheel carriers to optimize the motion ratios for maximized vehicle dynamics performance. At the same time cost and weight of the spring and damper system can be reduced. The novel lower control arm design is driven by compactness and simplicity to enable a robust and cost-efficient sheet metal construction. To optimize material utilization in the subframe design only a single longitudinal load path was implemented per side. The camber link is realized as a planar structure to minimize cost and weight. In contrast to the integral link rear suspension architecture the integral link is superseded by an advanced integral bushing integrated into the structure of the wheel carrier."
Holistic Motion Control for Personalized and Efficient Vehicle Dynamics

"This paper describes a new holistic motion control approach for personalized and efficient vehicle dynamics. The control system is part of Continental’s Holistic Driverless Technologies and contributes to the Program Autonomous Driving making cars intelligent and driving safer than ever before. The goals and use-case scenarios of the key functionalities, the logical architecture and the common interface structure leading to best reusability of existing system elements will be presented in the paper. An object oriented design pattern maps the overall system into parent and child systems along different chain of effects. The chains are either build for specific purposes or represent emergent properties like waste heat. Examples of parent/child system pairs are vehicle/chassis, chassis/corner or corner/actuator. Each system distinguishes internally between information providers (observer functions) and managers. Observer functions provide information for the own and the parent level and coordinate limits received from the child level. Manager functions determine requests to control the respective child system. The application of holistic motion control is demonstrated using the example of an electric vehicle with wheel individual electric motors at the front axle and friction brakes at each corner. Vehicle level longitudinal and lateral requests are determined by a dynamic feedforward control with personalizable vehicle responsiveness and damping characteristics. The central element on chassis level is a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) requesting corner module forces while accounting for limits of stability and energy. A twin track model is used to describe the dynamics of the chassis. Time variant system matrices are generated by linearization and discretization at every sampling instant. Tire-road friction circles constraining the admissible forces at the wheels are approximated by polygons. The purpose of these measures is to ensure the applicability of convex quadratic programming suitable for real time embedded optimization. Corner modules process the incoming stream of chassis requests and generate a stream of requests to the actuators. A corner module MPC framework at the front axle is able to optimally split the wheel braking torque among the redundant actuators, while providing anti-lock braking features by wheel slip regulation. This approach offers fast transient response, without compromising the energy recuperation efficiency of the electric motors taking different dynamic authorities of friction brake and electric motor into account. Continental is aware of its responsibilities in the transformation of mobility and energy efficiency and has actively taken up the challenges. In doing so, we are paving the way to deliver intelligent and sustainable mobility far into the future, while at the same time making a significant contribution to maintaining the attractiveness of personal mobility."

Published: March 2022

"Modern automotive development processes utilize more and more virtual design and testing methods to increase development efficiency. These methods help coping with challenges like variant diversity, availability of prototypes and testing facilities as well as reproducibility of results. Prerequisite for the application of virtual methods are simulation models of sufficient accuracy. This applies also to the present subject of research, which focuses on the virtual development of passenger car ride comfort behavior by the use advanced simulation models. Full vehicle simulation offers great potential in this field when designing desired vehicle ride and dynamic performance in early development stages, as long as sufficiently accurate models for e.g. tires and suspension components exist. This research points out the particular role of the shock absorber model as one key contributor to overall model fidelity. A comparative analysis has been conducted on shock absorber models of different complexity levels ranging from low resolution lookup-tables over high resolution maps up to advanced semi-physical models which can reproduce friction and gas forces with high precision in order to identify the impact on full vehicle ride comfort behavior. Real vehicle measurements fulfilled the function of references for simulation quality comparison, while selected key performance indicators (KPIs) have been used to quantify the respective model performance. Besides other findings, the research has shown a high impact of model accuracy at the so-called small signal range (ultra-low damper excitation velocities with less than 10 millimeter per second) and at changes in direction of damper movement. On one hand these results may serve as a recommendation for advanced shock absorber model accuracy, but on the other hand they rely heavily on a correctly parametrized simulation framework. While the full vehicle simulation method might not replace classical in-vehicle assessment and tuning, it may complement the development process in several ways. For example, sensitivity analyzes can be carried out, with which the tuner can obtain decisive information for his tuning strategy in the vehicle. Furthermore, this method can also represent a preliminary phase for a possible Hardware-in-the-Loop application that is to be used for (pre-)tuning active dampers under laboratory conditions."

Shunt Active Power Filter Performances based on Seven-level NPC Inverter using Fuzzy and LS-PWM Control Scheme
Authors:   Electrical Engineering Department, Birine Nuclear Research Center, Algeria, CHENNAI Salim
Published: March 2022

This paper presents novel seven-level neutral point clamped (npc) shunt active power filter system based on LS-PWM and fuzzy control approaches which can eliminate current harmonics generated by nonlinear loads. Today, multi-level inverters are strongly used in the medium and high voltage applications; their advantages are low harmonic distortions, low switching losses, low electromagnetic interference, and low acoustic noise. Second, fuzzy logic techniques have been successfully employed in several power electronic applications. Fuzzy controller does not need an accurate mathematical model, can work with imprecise inputs, can handle non-linearity, and are more robust than conventional controllers. To benefit from these advantages a novel control scheme for seven-level (npc) inverter based on Fuzzy and LS-PWM technique is proposed. The reference current signals required to compensate harmonic currents use the synchronous current detection method, this technique is easy to implement and achieves good performances for harmonic compensation. The proposed shunt APF is evaluated using Matlab-Simulink software and SimPowerSystem Toolbox under transient and steady state for various operation conditions. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed shunt active filter based on seven-level (NPC) inverter for improving the power quality and the superiority of combined fuzzy and LS-PWM control scheme to conventional controller in term of harmonics compensation and dynamic performances.

В текущей ситуации приоритетами в инновационной сфере являются различные формы и способы привлечения инвестиций в отрасль, которые улучшат инвестиционный климат: финансовый (прямое финансирование, кредитование инвестиционных проектов, гарантии инвестиционного кредитования, субсидирование процентных ставок для банка, инвестиционные кредиты); налоговый (снижение налоговой нагрузки, инвестиционные налоговые льготы); организационно-правовой (правовая база для инвестиционной деятельности, создание лизинговых фондов, компаний взаимного страхования, институтов развития). В производственном секторе сейчас необходимо искать формы взаимодействия и сотрудничества между государством и обществом. Международный опыт в этой сфере отражает различные формы взаимодействия государства и бизнеса при реализации крупных социально значимых инвестиционных программ и проектов. В мировой практике одной из наиболее распространенных и эффективных форм партнерства государства и бизнеса являются концессионные соглашения в условиях справедливого распределения рисков, выгод и затрат, прав и обязанностей, определенных в соответствии с контрактом.
Modern marketing concept of alternative energy management
Authors: Demessinova A. A. , Aidarova А. B. , Apsenbetova G. T.
Published: March 2022

The article examines all the factors, both positive and negative, that have an impact on the development of modern energy. The natural factor is considered as one of the most important factors. Depletion of natural resources and global climate change pose a real threat to the development of the modern energy industry. The experience of the world community in solving problems related to climate change, implementing measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, developing policy measures to improve energy efficiency and energy conservation, as well as the use of alternative energy sources is analyzed. The methodological basis of the research is a complex system of scientific methods, including methods of statistical analysis, observation, comparison. Historical-logical, analytical and system methods were used in the analysis of problems in the energy industry and in the formulation of conclusions. The marketing concepts which were developed earlier did not sufficiently take into account the importance of replenishing the natural resources consumed by society with alternative fuel resources. In this regard, there was a need to develop a new marketing concept that would take into account not only the interests of individual consumers and society as a whole, but also actively orient entrepreneurs to develop innovative technologies for the production and sale of alternative fuel and energy resources. The article proposes an expanded concept of socio-ethical marketing – the concept of environmental resource marketing, which consists of conducting business activities in order to meet the needs of both individual consumers and society as a whole in environmentally friendly energy products in conditions of severe shortage of traditional fuel and energy resources and the need to replenish them with alternative ones.

Published: March 2022

The purpose of the article is to present the results of research and development of an organizational and economic mechanism for the development of state regulation of employment of persons with special needs in the Republic of Kazakhstan. An advanced economy cannot be considered in the gap from the employment of persons with special needs, which is able not only to increase the economic potential of the country, but also improves the financial situation of persons with disabilities and their family members. In this regard, Kazakhstan has developed programs for the population such as the “Employment Roadmap 2020” and the State Program for the Development of Productive Employment and Mass Entrepreneurship for 2017–2021 “Enbek”. Besides, in order to ensure the rights and improve the quality of life of people with special needs, a National Plan until 2025 was approved. Based on the analysis of the problems hindering the effective increase in the level of employment of persons with disabilities, the article substantiates the need to introduce a new organizational and economic mechanism of state regulation of employment of persons with special needs. The main problem of the low level of employment of persons with disabilities in the republic was identified, which consists in the presence of structural barriers, primarily with the low availability of infrastructure and the low level of competitiveness of persons with special needs. The purpose of our proposed mechanism is to improve the welfare of citizens with disabilities and reduce their dependence on social benefits.

Published: March 2022

The aim of the article is to consider the issues of introducing digitalization in all spheres of public life, and especially in the field of education. The task of the introducing digital technologies is to accelerate the pace of economic development of any country, and in particular the Republic of Kazakhstan, thereby improve the wellbeing of the population through the use of information and communication technologies, as well as ensure, with minimal costs, the transition of the economy of our country to a completely new stage of development, ensuring the creation of a digital economy. Kazakhstan has taken a course towards the development of the digital economy; this is already a requirement of the new time. The country began to switch to the electronic format starting in 2006, but the main obstacles, which showed the real reality, occurred with the COVID-19 coronavirus infection pandemic and the announcement of quarantine. Based on their analysis, the authors concluded that the implementation of digitalization is taking slow steps. In our country, the bulk of our own manufacturers are in no hurry to implement Industry 4.0. due to the fact that it is not only expensive, but also due to the lack of highly qualified specialists in this area. The program “Digital Kazakhstan” has some shortcomings, taking into account previous mistakes, adjustments are made, so the success of its implementation depends on the proper involvement of all subjects of economic activity in the processes of digitalization. The authors are confident that through the development of information and communication and digital technologies, creating a favorable environment for training in digital skills, providing support measures for qualified professionals, we will achieve the goal outlined in the Program “Digital Kazakhstan”.

Published: March 2022

The purpose of this article is to analyze and give a comprehensive assessment of the standard of living of the population in all regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The concept of “human development” was introduced by UNDP in 1990 in the Human Development Report. The concept of human development is focused on people and proclaims the main and only goal to ensure human well-being. This presupposes the creation of a favorable political, economic, social and ecological environment that would allow people to live a healthy and constructive life for a sufficiently long time. Almost simultaneously with the emergence of this concept, the problem of quantifying the improvement in the lives of people around the world arose. Human development is an abstract concept. In order to measure it (to determine the level, dynamics, direction of changes), a system of indicators is needed that characterizes certain aspects of human development.In this article, based on the methodology proposed by the authors, an integral assessment of the standard of living of the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan is given in the context of the regions. A quantitative and qualitative assessment of the living standards of the population can serve as the basis for the development and improvement of the social sphere, an instrument of effective socio-economic policy, which is confirmed by the experience of the results of industrialized countries in solving the problems of economic development.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal failure (ESRF) patients are
high. We examined the incidence and predictors of death and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in
ESRF patients on different modalities of dialysis.
Methods: Data were obtained from a population-based database (National Registry Disease Offices)
in Singapore. The study cohort comprised all adult patients initiated on dialysis between 2007 and
2012 who were closely followed for the development of death and AMI until September 2014. Cox
regression methods were used to identify predictors of death and AMI.
Results: Of 5,309 patients, 4,449 were on haemodialysis and 860 on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Mean
age of the cohort was 61 (±13) years (44% women), of Chinese (67%), Malay (25%) and Indian (7%)
ethnicities. By September 2014, the incidence of all-cause death was 34%; close to a third of the patients
died from a cardiovascular cause. Age >60 years and the presence of ischaemic heart disease, diabetes,
stroke, peripheral vascular disease and PD were identified as independent predictors of all-cause
death. PD patients had lower odds of survival compared to patients on haemodialysis (hazard ratio
1.51, 95% confidence interval 1.35–1.70, P<0.0001). Predictors of AMI in this cohort were older
age (>60 years) and the presence of ischaemic heart disease, diabetes, stroke, peripheral vascular
disease and current/ex-smokers. There were no significant differences in the incidence of AMI between
patients on PD and haemodialysis.
Conclusion: The short-term incidence of death and AMI remains high in Singapore. Future studies
should investigate the benefits of a tighter control of cardiovascular risk factors among ESRF patients
on dialysis.

THE TRUE COST OF TECHNOLOGY: DOUBLE EXTRACTIVISM AND GREEN CRIMINOLOGY IN SERBIA
Authors:   Institute of Criminological and Sociological Research, Serbia, Stepanović Ivana ,   Institute of Advanced Studies Kőszeg, Hungary
Published: March 2022

The so­called green transition that relies on battery­powered technology dramatically raises demands for lithium and other minerals. The same resources are used to produce batteries for phones, computers, electric cars, and other devices with internet connectivity that simultaneously extract personal data. While research projects in natural sciences warn of ecological and human health implications of extracting minerals, social sciences emphasise the dangers of electronic transparency. The true cost of green transition and digitalisation turns out to be very high, especially because these processes are based on the extraction of both material resources and behavioural data. This paper argues that the mining of lithium and other minerals is not a local or national issue, but rather an international concern. Using concept analysis and digital ethnography, it analyses lithium mining narratives in Serbia and challenges the idea of “green transition” with notions of double extractivism and digital and green criminology.
COMMUNICATIONS ENCRYPTION AS AN INVESTIGATIVE OBSTACLE
Authors:   Faculty of Law, University of Novi Sad, Pisarić Milana
Published: March 2022

Due to novel technology solutions, primarily peer­to­peer, encryption and service providers located abroad, the ability of the law enforcement agencies to execute legally authorized traditional (even special) investigatory means is becoming increasingly problematic. Communication encryption, particularly end­to­end encryption in smartphone applications hinders law enforcement authorities’ practical ability to wiretap communications, although in a legal position. This phenomenon is globally recognized as “Going Dark” problem. All these challenges have necessitated legislative action. So far two different approaches have been recognized in addressing this problem: mandatory exceptional access and legalized hacking of target. In this paper we explore the viability and implications of both of them, in order to identity the most viable solution for overcoming investigative barrier, i.e. enabling the authorities to conduct surveillance of electronic communications.

In extreme situations, reliable detection of the minimum therapeutic concentrations of psychotropic substances is important, since this allows one to provide adequate resuscitation. The group of benzodiazepine derivatives, which includes bromodihydrochlorophenylbenzodiazepine (phenazepam), is widely used in clinical practice. Along with the positive clinical effect, phenazepam has numerous side effects, capable of causing poisoning, even death. The study was aimed to develop the method for detection of the phenazepam metabolites by high-resolution HPLC–TMS suitable for achieving the aims and objectives of forensic medical expertise in case of the ultra-low urine substance concentrations. Urine of six patients (males and females aged 28–40), who were prescribed phenazepam and took the drug at minimum therapeutic concentrations on an ad hoc basis, was used during the study. Optimum conditions for the analyte chromatography after the urine sample preparation were defined with the phenazepam retention time of 7.05 ± 0.06 min; specific ions (m/z) 179, 183, 206, 242, 271, 285, 320, 348 (main) were defined for identification of phenazepam.

Authors: ÇINAR Alev , GENCOGLU Esra Arzu
Published: March 2022

Aim: The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of F-18 FDG PET/CT in the restaging of colorectal cancer in patients with suspected recurrence. Thus, PET/CT findings were compared with that of CT. In addition, the correlation between serum CEA levels and PET/CT and CT findings was investigated. Furthermore, the role of PET/CT in treatment response among patients who were treated after restaging was assessed.

Material and Method: In this retrospective study, a total of 102 patients operated for colorectal cancer (63 female, 39 male, mean age 65.81±4.63 years) were investigated. F-18 FDG PET/CT scans were acquired in all patients. The findings of PET/CT were compared with that of concurrent CT, and also with CEA levels.

Results: In the study, the success rates of PET/CT and CT in detecting pathologic lesions in colorectal cancer cases with suspected recurrence were 98% and 64.7%, respectively. In 34 cases, pathologic lesions were detected with PET/CT, while CT showed no recurrence. The lesions of 68 cases out of 70 with high CEA levels were localized by means of PET/CT, whereas pathology was observed by CT in only 45 cases. Thus, PET/CT was considered more successful than CT in detecting recurrence. In the liver where lesion was localized the most, the sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT were 88% and 92%, respectively, while the sensitivity and specificity of CT were 80% and 76%, respectively.

Conclusion: In the light of findings, our study suggested PET/CT as a valuable imaging tool for restaging and treatment response assessment in colorectal cancer cases with suspected recurrence.

Importance of Measuring Women’s Quality of Life and Patient Counselling in Pregnancy-Related Nausea and Vomiting: A Review
Authors: Aishwaryah P. , C Denny Deepthi
Published: March 2022

Pregnancy is the period of gestation from the fertilization of the egg, through the development of the foetus and ending in birth.

El avance más enérgico y atrevido en este sentido ha sido el reconocimiento del «pluralismo jurídico», en cuanto principio ordenador de todo el sistema constitucional.

Published: March 2022

Çağdaş dönemin ayırt edici özelliği yaşamın dijitalleşmesidir. Dijitalleşme doğrultusunda yaşamın her alanı etki altında kaldığı için kurumlar da bundan bağımsız değildir. Kurumlar gün geçtikçe dijital teknolojilere daha çok angaje olurken tüm işleyiş süreçleri de dijital dönüşümlere tabi olmaktadır. Bireyler açısından ise yeni mahremiyet yeni bir boyuta evrilmektedir. Mahremiyet klasik anlamını yitirirken veriye dayalı bir boyut kazanmakta ve bu veriler konusunda hem hassasiyet oluşmakta hem de saldırılar artmaktadır. Veri mahremiyetine dönük siber saldırıların artışı ile kurumların hem önleyici hem de bilgilendirici rolü her geçen gün daha da artmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bireylerin verileri konusunda daha hassas olmaları ile kurumsal iletişimin açıklamaya ve kontrol altına almaya dönük tavırları önem kazanmaktadır. Kurumsal iletişim veri mahremiyeti sürecini hem kurum içi hem de kurum dışı olarak iki yönlü yürüterek kurumların her anlamda ayakta kalmalarını sağlamaktadır. Bu makalede hem uluslararası veri mahremiyeti raporları hem de Yemeksepeti’nin yerel ölçekte yaşadığı veri hırsızlığı sorunu, kurumsal iletişimin rolü açısından nitel bir çalışma yöntemi olan durum çalışması (case study) ile incelenmektedir.
