As a new form of social media, short videos have been deeply seated in Chinese life. In order to expand their influence, China's mainstream media also opened accounts on short video platforms, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. They use short video platforms to report news, which play a key role in guiding public opinion and stabilising people's hearts. Based on the pandemic coverage of two of China's representative media, People's Daily and China Daily on Douyin platform, content analysis method is used to analyse the reporting frequency, video length, reporting content, reporting tendency, and user engagement, and compare the similarities and differences between the two media in the above five aspects. It was found that in terms of reporting frequency, the development trend of the two media is different, but they post roughly the same number of videos per day on average, and the number of videos released during the pandemic is higher than usual. In terms of video length, most of the videos of the two media are produced in a duration of one minute. China Daily produced more long videos than People's Daily. In terms of the reporting content, the two media are involved in 11 constructed categories, but the top four categories are different because of the different position. About the reporting tendency, People's Daily has strong subjective emotion, and China Daily reported more neutral news. As for user engagement, People's Daily did better in likes, comments and shares, although both posted more likes, comments and shares than usual during the pandemic.

The potential of female heads of households is very important to be developed, but unfortunately they have not been able to fully participate because they still have limited power and a weak position in society. To empower them, an empowerment program for female heads of households is carried out. This research describes efforts conducted by members of the program to overcome hindrances faced in their position as female heads of household, particularly within their roles in both domestic and public spaces. This study uses a case study approach in which data were collected using in-depth interviews to eight informants including PEKKA members, officers, and corresponding household members. Participatory observations are conducted in three months, looking into PEKKA-related activities and the informants daily practices. The findings from this study reveal that through close and dialogic communication processes between the female heads of household and PEKKA officers, they can openly share their problems and receive support to solve their problems. Interpersonal communication helps the female heads of household in gaining trust and becoming role models for their families. This form of communication also enables wives to gain their husbands’ trust and render them equal partners. It is concluded that through the processes of interpersonal communication, female heads of household can position themselves as subjects that challenge the impeding patriarchal values. Interpersonal communication in the PEKKA program, both as practice and shared knowledge, is considered effective as a means to empower female heads of household. Keywords: Interpersonal communication process, female heads of household, social roles, empowerment program, PEKKA programme.

River basins must be handled in a comprehensive and integrated way. To achieve that, Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) is a strong concept that will increasingly win discussions on natural resource management. IRBM focuses on the integration and coordination of policies, programs and practices. It focuses on problems relating to water and rivers. It advocates for improved skills and increased financial, legislative, management and political will. Many developed countries have expanded strongly functional and stable institutions for IRBM. These structural models have developed through the years, and are being gradually imposed and encouraged by policymakers and funders in developing countries. The main goal of this research is to identify and combine the main goals, concepts, effective practice examples and lesson learned of Integrated River Basin Management that emerged from the best practices management of River Thames in United Kingdom, European Unions’ Water Framework Directive, IWRM Canada and Malaysia. This research’s methodological approach compares the implementation structure of IWRM in four countries. The countries were chosen based on their numerous efforts in the field of water resource management. This is a practical water management framework focused on a holistic view of society’s goals integrated into good governance and sustainable development concepts. It also explains the advantages of expanding the idea behind IWRM core concepts.

The attempts to analyze the relationship between the construction industry and economic growth have integrated many different methods. The process has become to be perceived as “construction economics” analysis. It is conceptualized as a procedure where construction industries outcomes implement increasingly more relevant for nation’s development benefits throughout mostly economic interdependencies that are emphasized as financial sources. Concurring with the present-day standards for affirming an industry, in considerably most facets of analysis result interpreted on a solely economic aspect which is not a conspicuous and significant indicator for construction industry initiates through its resolution outcome. Whereas proceed competently and developed directions from scholars or experts are the determinants of success that emerge due to reviews of relevant practical and research inferences. Literature for analysis on output in the construction industry within the economics aspect is further inscribed in detail. Consequently, relocating the ideology used to examine construction activates implications on development augmentation and shifts the schemes for classifying construction output in the numerous conservative analytic techniques towards more functional delineation. Considering and optimize more relevant details in the systematic process of quantifying the construction value analysis will implicate a reflected actual and detailed results of industrial or enterprise entities on both theoretical and empirical perception for construction economics.

The rapid development of technology, and its usage, in our everyday lives caused us to depend on many of the aspects it offers. The evolution of the Internet in recent decades has changed human life drastically as accessing knowledge, communication, and social interaction, became readily available. Nowadays, we have become dependent on our PCs and smart devices in accomplishing everyday tasks. People are using these devices to store valuable information. This information became the target of cybercriminals who are constantly creating new ways to gain unauthorized access to it. In the past few decades, cybercrime and the construction of malicious software (malware), have seen a significant rise. In this research, we present a literature review of the historical evolution of malware. We describe the common characteristics and propagation methods for the types of malware in each phase of its evolution. Furthermore, we illustrate the purpose of its creation and the damages it has caused. The purpose of this study is to provide researchers with background about malware and its evolution leading up to present day threats.

Authors: Abu Taleb Anas
Published: January 2023

Wireless sensor networks are expected to operate in an unattended manner for long periods of time. As a result, different mobility models were proposed by many research papers in order to improve the performance and extend the lifetime of the network. In this paper a new sink mobility model that is based on kohonen self-organizing maps is proposed in order to provide a mobile sink node with the ability to collect data from static sensor nodes. Moreover, the performance of the proposed mobility model was studied using NS-2 simulator under different network sizes and movement speeds of the mobile sink. Finally, the performance of the proposed model was evaluated based on different performance metrics namely, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio and throughput.
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND “SOCIAL SECURITY”: POLICY IDEAS, DISCURSIVE RATIFICATION, AND THE U.S. OLD-AGE PENSION MOVEMENT
Authors: Amenta Edwin , Chen Qindian
Published: January 2023

Under which conditions can social movements influence discursive struggles over public policies? Policy ideas are embedded in any new movement-relevant legislation, including categories, frames, justifications, and narratives. Moreover, when legislation passes, it receives a “discursive ratification” in the news media, which interprets its meaning. These cultural aspects of legislation define the constituencies of social movements and influence future political group formation and policy development but are not much analyzed by scholars. We argue that it is more difficult for mass movement organizations to influence policy ideas than to influence the political agenda, votes for programs, or monetary upgrades in them because doing so requires different capacities and favorable political contexts. Also, influencing the discursive ratification of policy is more difficult than placing quotes or demands in the news. To illustrate and appraise these arguments, we examine the policy ideas behind and the national news coverage of U.S. old-age legislation during its formative years in the 1930s and 1940s. Specifically, we examine six key episodes in which the old-age pension movement had broad influence over legislative developments. However, only in some instances did the movement influence ideas in old-age policy or its discursive ratification, and sometimes its actions backfired. These analyses show that movements’ favorable influence over the benefits in policy may not translate into cultural influence.
MOVEMENT ROUTES TO CULTURAL IMPACT
Authors: Polletta Francesca
Published: January 2023

Drawing on the empirical articles in this special issue and posing further questions, I suggest how movement scholars might move forward in identifying and accounting for movements’ cultural impacts. I argue for comparing cases in which movements did and did not have cultural influence, for developing new approaches to public opinion as a measure of movements’ influence, for mining theoretical traditions associated with a wider array of cultural concepts than we routinely use, and for paying attention to the institutional norms that mediate movements’ impacts—impacts within politics as much as outside it.

Authors: Anjan Pal  , Mukhopadhyay Prthasarathi
Published: January 2023

Authority data is vital for effective library and information services. It serves a major purpose in realizing the collocation function of library catalogues and indexes. Unfortunately, however, authority control has been neglected in library catalogues and other bibliographic databases in India. This paper seeks to demonstrate how authority data can be fetched automatically from Wikidata, a sibling project of Wikipedia. For this purpose, the query language SPARQL is required to formulate the names of persons of Indian origin along with their date of birth and place in Wikidata. The collected datasets are processed and implemented as MARC21-based authority data in KOHA, an open-source library management software. The ways in which the library and information science community can use these free, open-source platforms to gather, organize and share data and how they enhance the retrieval efficiency are shown.

Innovative Technologies in the Monitoring of the Age-Related Cataract
Authors: Kiseleva T. N. , Zaitsev M. S.
Published: January 2023

Literature review is devoted to modern high-technology instrumental methods of the lens evaluation, which have been developed to improve efficiency of the diagnostics and management of cataract in ophthalmological clinical practice. The slit-lamp examination of lens and retroillumination images are used for subjective assessment of cataract according to LOCS III grading system. Currently objective methods of lens evaluation have practical value and provide information about early age-related changes of crystalline lens with the quantitative assessment of the severity of opacities including the optical and ultrasound examinations. Optical methods include densitometry using Scheimpflug images obtained from applications to quantify the localization of lens opacities and their progression rate. Another method is the intensity distribution analysis of the wave front of the optical aberrations according to grading cataract severity with the objective scatter index (OSI) obtained by double-pass technology. Moreover the optical quantitative assessment of lens opacities is carried out by the Shack—Hartmann wave front sensor to identify the grade of nuclear opalescence (N-type) with the Lens Opacities Classification System III. This method is very helpful in nuclear cataract. Swept source optical coherent tomography (SS-OCT) with variable length of wave and high frequency detector is used for the density measurements of nuclear and cortical opacities of lens imaging in micro- and macro dimensional scale. Ultrasound biomicroscopy is the most informative ultrasonic diagnostic method for the evaluation of acoustic density and early age-related changes of lens. Current high-informative methods of quantitative assessment of the optical density of lens are helpful in determination of indications for surgery, the optimization of phacoemulsification settings and prevention of intraoperative complications. The use of high-technologic methods demonstrated the effectiveness of eye drops 0,005 % pirenoxine in early lens opacities management.

Published: January 2023

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is implemented for surface modification of titanium alloy substrates with multilayered biofunctional polymeric coatings. Poly(lactic-coglycolic) acid (PLGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) polymers were embedded with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and vancomycin (VA) therapeutic agents to promote osseointegration and antibacterial activity, respectively. PCL coatings revealed a uniform deposition pattern of the ACP-laden formulation and enhanced cell adhesion on the titanium alloy substrates as compared to the PLGA coatings. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed a nanocomposite structure of ACP particles showing strong binding with the polymers. Cell viability data showed comparable MC3T3 osteoblast proliferation on polymeric coatings as equivalent to positive controls. In vitro live/dead assessment indicated higher cell attachments for 10 layers (burst release of ACP) as compared to 20 layers (steady release) for PCL coatings. The PCL coatings loaded with the antibacterial drug VA displayed a tunable release kinetics profile based on the multilayered design and drug content of the coatings. Moreover, the concentration of active VA released from the coatings was above the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration, demonstrating its effectiveness against Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strain. This research provides a basis for developing antibacterial biocompatible coatings to promote osseointegration of orthopedic implants.

Published: January 2023

The importance of three-dimensional (3D) models in pharmacological tests and personalized therapies is significant. These models allow us to gain insight into the cell response during drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination in an organlike system and are suitable for toxicological testing. In personalized and regenerative medicine, the precise characterization of artificial tissues or drug metabolism processes is more than crucial to gain the safest and the most effective treatment for the patients. Using these 3D cell cultures derived directly from patient, such as spheroids, organoids, and bioprinted structures, allows for testing drugs before administration to the patient. These methods allow us to select the most appropriate drug for the patient. Moreover, they provide chance for better recovery of patients, since time is not wasted during therapy switching. These models could be used in applied and basic research as well, because their response to treatments is quite similar to that of the native tissue. Furthermore, they may replace animal models in the future because these methods are cheaper and can avoid interspecies differences. This review puts a spotlight on this dynamically evolving area and its application in toxicological testing.

Do Corporate Social Responsibility and Political Connections Matter to Financial Performance and Financial Stability in the Banking Sector? Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Stefany Jesi , Agustina Lidya
Published: January 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility and political connections on financial performance and financial stability in the banking sector in Indonesia. Corporate Social Responsibility is widely seen as a form of the company's commitment to society, which can encourage sustainability. Meanwhile, political connections are seen as capable of maintaining the financial stability of banking companies, especially in countries with high levels of corruption and weak laws. The sample in this study were 26 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2017-2020. The method used in sampling is purposive sampling method, with secondary data in the form of financial statements and company annual reports during the study period. This study uses a combined least squares regression analysis technique. The results showed that Corporate Social Responsibility had a positive effect on financial performance and had no effect on financial stability, while political connections had a negative effect on both financial performance and financial stability. This shows that banks that have political connections do not make people more trusting. Thus, the company's image in society becomes more important than political connections.

Published: January 2023

The spaces of the universities are among spaces in which it is necessary to provide indoor air quality, it focuses on airborne pollutants, health, safety, and thermal comfort issues, which will reflect positively on the health and performance of occupants, as universities are under increasing pressure to deal and respond with climate changes and sustainable development issues and other challenges associated with them. The University of Baghdad is among the prestigious universities at the level of Iraq and the Arab world as a whole, and to face the hot and dry climatic challenges of Baghdad city and ensure the strengthening of the immunity of the occupants in the educational buildings, the research problem was represented by testing indoor air quality in educational spaces and knowing its effects on the occupants. Therefore, the study evaluated two types of educational spaces (studio and classroom) in two evaluations, the first is the objective evaluation, which uses sensors to monitor indoor air quality, where (CO2, temperature, and relative humidity) were evaluated, and the second evaluation is a self-assessment, where the distribution of questionnaires on students, that tested the effect of air quality and appear disease symptoms on them, was monitored in two different evaluation periods, summer and winter. The obtained results showed that CO2 concentration levels were above the recommended limits in both spaces but the temperature and humidity are in an acceptable range. So based on the measured results, methods are proposed to improve indoor air quality in the classroom, and then came up with recommendations could be applied in similar spaces in the future.

Authors: Gushendri  , Aimon Hasdi , Sentosa Sri Ulfa
Published: January 2023

This study aims to model the welfare of fishermen's households in the coastal area of West Sumatra which is determined by the socio-cultural environment, catches and added value of 373 fishing households with fishing gear by using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The contribution of this research lies in the concept of the socio-cultural environment in improving the welfare of fishermen's households through the catch and added value that has been ignored by previous researchers. The results of the study found that the fisherman household welfare model can be achieved through strengthening added value. This study suggests to the government to increase the added value of fishery products through the added value obtained from the difference between the selling price and the cost of materials or other supplies from fishing activities, fish farming, fish handling, fish processing, and distribution in a production process. Furthermore, this study suggests to further researchers to involve the study of the physical environment such as natural conditions as a determinant of the welfare of fishermen's households.
Factors Affecting Corporate Social Responsibility Web Disclosure: Evidence from the Consumer Sector in Indonesia
Authors: Wedari Linda Kusumaning , Shafadila Ghina Arya
Published: January 2023

An increasing number of companies disclose information about their financial performance, however, publishing Corporate Social Responsibility information on company’s websites is still limited. This study examines the factors affecting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) web disclosure, as well as examine whether firms with high CSR web disclosure are less likely to engage in earnings management. Corporate Social Responsibility may indicate transparent and reliable financial statements. To do so, we investigate factors that affect the extensiveness of CSR web disclosure. In addition, we investigate the impact financial statement quality on CSR web disclosure. Based on a content analysis of the CSR web disclosure of consumer sector of Indonesia listed companies, this research analyzes the content of CSR disclosures with respect to the following four themes, include environmental information, employee information, community involvement information, and products information areas. Companies publish their CSR disclosure on company’s websites only during the year, therefore we could not collect data on its prior year. Using a sample of 94 consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020, our OLS regression results indicate that company size has a significant effect on CSR web disclosure. In contrast, there is no association between public share ownership, board of commissioner size, audit committee size, profitability, and leverage, on CSR web disclosure. We find no evidence of companies with high-level CSR web disclosure publishing more transparent and reliable financial statement than companies with low-level CSR web disclosure.

The Gr-MoVac-flu and the Gr-MoV-ad scales are not unidimensional and demonstrated two-factor structures respectively.Conclusions:The MoVac-flu and the MoV-ad scale are highly convergent validity tools that could provide rich understanding of HPs’ decision to uptake and to advocate for vaccination.
Abused and Rejected: The Link Between Intimate Partner Violence and Parental Alienation
Authors: Rowlands Gena A. , Warshak Richard A. , Harman Jennifer J.
Published: January 2023

Previous studies have demonstrated a connection between intimate partner violence (IPV) and a child’s alienation from the abused parent, but little is known about the relationships between the type of IPV, aspects, and severity of a child’s alienation, and the target parent’s gender. This study assessed the presence of an IPV history (verbal and physical aspects) among parents who identify as targets of their children’s unreasonable rejection. Also investigated were associations between the form of IPV and manifestations of a child’s alienated behavior, parent’s gender and type of IPV, and parents’ gender and degree of the child’s alienation. Self-identified alienated parents (n= 842) completed an online survey that included an IPV screening measurement (Hurts, Insults, Screams, Threatens screening tool) and a measure of the parent’s perception of their child’s alienated behaviors (Rowlands Parental Alienation Scale). The majority identified as IPV victims and reported a higher level of verbal than physical abuse. More mothers than fathers identified themselves as IPV victims. As a group, IPV victims rated their child as more severely alienated than did non-IPV alienated parents. Mothers were more likely than fathers to report physical aggression by the other parent and more likely than fathers to assess their child’s alienated behaviors as more severe. Victims of physical violence reported their children were less likely to withhold positive affection from them. This knowledge may assist in earlier identification of the alienation process and greater recognition, legitimacy, funding, and opportunities for enhanced collaboration among stakeholders. This, in turn, may lead to improvements in prevention, intervention, and accountability, thus helping to interrupt alienation processes.

Published: January 2023

Há, no cenário democrático moderno, grande polarização entre Política e Justiça, como se estas fossem rivais absolutas, simplesmente pela interação natural dos Poderes. No entanto, é característico do sistema Democrático que um Poder tenha os outros sempre em vista para frear e contrapesar condutas exageradas de seus representantes. Assim é que o presente estudo, contornando os ensinamentos maquiavélicos, não propõe uma liturgia ou catecismo para políticos, mas sim que deles se exija uma conduta de mínimo valor caracterizada por um compromisso com a legalidade, a honestidade e a busca irrestrita dos interesses do povo, a fim de desmascarar a ideia antagônica que atualmente se tem da Política e da Justiça. Assim, em uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter reflexivo, tem este artigo o objetivo de demonstrar que a Justiça e Política convivem muito bem num sistema democrático, desde que seus representantes ajam de forma minimamente ética.
Quartas Notas à Legislação da Lavagem de Capitais em Portugal-UE: Regime Sancionatório Numa Terceira Abordagem
Authors: Bandeira Gonçalo S. de Melo
Published: January 2023

Esta terceira abordagem do regime sancionatório da legislação que previne a lavagem de vantagens, como por exemplo, dinheiro – branqueamento de vantagens como v.g. capitais -, em Portugal e na UE vai ter em consideração de novo que não é possível esquecer o dever de formação. É preciso continuar a somar à prevenção do branqueamento de vantagens, como capitais, os ilícitos criminais e os ilícitos contraordenacionais que constam da Lei do Branqueamento. E isto é, mais uma vez, devido a um problema na legislação continental europeia: o seu tamanho está a aumentar cada vez mais como se fosse possível tudo legislar. Já tínhamos referido isso na nossa última publicação e voltamos a fortalecer. Pois surgiu nova e importante legislação: Lei 99-A/2021, de 31/12.
Pluralización del cristianismo latinoamericano en el siglo XXI
Authors: Barrera Rivera Paulo
Published: January 2023

En las primeras dos décadas del presente siglo se ha hecho evidente la diversidad de un cristianismo que a lo largo del siglo pasado se presentaba oficialmente uniforme o apenas en dos facetas, una católica mayoritaria y otra evangélica de origen protestante y pentecostal. En ambos casos la práctica religiosa parecía ajustarse a su forma institucional. Este texto revisa la literatura reciente, los datos censales y estudios de caso sobre las formas variadas de los cristianismos. Se sostiene que el campo cristiano contemporáneo se presenta inéditamente diverso y plural. Se analiza el fenómeno en los tres más grandes países de América Latina, Brasil, México y Argentina. En seguida se estudia los datos regionales que permiten ampliar la perspectiva a toda la región y, finalmente se reflexiona sobre las “nuevas comunidades católicas” como factor de pluralización.
Varietal thiols levels and sensory effects in South African Colombard wines

Published: January 2023

The levels of varietal thiols and the role these compounds play in Colombard wine have not been investigated in detail. This study assessed the levels of the varietal thiols 4-methyl-4-sulfanylpentan-2-one (4MSP), 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3SHA) and 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and their sensory effects in 24 young South African Colombard wines. Levels of 3SHA and 3SH were, in general, in line with those previously reported in South African Chenin blanc and Sauvignon blanc wines. Levels of 4MSP were, in general, found at a narrower range than those reported for Sauvignon blanc wines. Twelve of these wines were also sensorially analysed by a panel of wine industry experts. Aroma descriptors, such as guava, passion fruit, sweat and tomato leaf, which have previously been linked to 3SH and 3SHA, were also found, especially in the wines containing higher levels of these two compounds. Good correlations between 3SHA and sweat and guava were found. This study contributes to the knowledge of varietal thiol levels and their role played in 24 Colombard white wines. It could also lead to wine producers adapting their winemaking g practices to increase levels of varietal thiols if the aroma characteristics linked to these compounds are sought after in this single cultivar wine.
Qluster: An Easy-to-Implement Generic Workflow for Robust Clustering of Health Data
Authors: Esnault Cyril , Rollot Melissa , Guilmin Pauline , Zucker Jean-Daniel
Published: January 2023

The exploration of heath data by clustering algorithms allows to better describe the populations of interest by seeking the sub-profiles that compose it. This therefore reinforces medical knowledge, whether it is about a disease or a targeted population in real life. Nevertheless, contrary to the so-called conventional biostatistical methods where numerous guidelines exist, the standardization of data science approaches in clinical research remains a little discussed subject. This results in a significant diversity in the execution of data science projects, whether in terms of algorithms used, reliability and credibility of the designed approach. Taking the path of parsimonious and judicious choice of both algorithms and implementations at each stage, this paper proposes Qluster, a practical workflow for performing clustering tasks. Indeed, this workflow makes a compromise between (1) genericity, as it is suitable regardless of the data volume (small/big) and regardless of the nature of the variables (continuous/qualitative/mixed), (2) ease of implementation, as it is based on few easy-to-use software packages, and (3) robustness, through the stability evaluation of the final clusters and through recognized algorithms and implementations. This workflow can be easily automated and/or routinely applied on a wide range of clustering projects. A synthesis of the literature on data clustering as well as the scientific rationale supporting the proposed workflow is also provided. Finally, a detailed application of the workflow on a concrete use case is provided, along with a practical discussion for data scientists. An implementation on the Dataiku platform is available upon request to the authors.
A Fresh View at Sports PSM-Systems
Authors: Savostyanov Vladimir , Kobelev Alexander
Published: January 2023

Background/Objectives: The purpose of the proposed study is disclosure of correlations between the dynamics of the Breathe Rate (BR) and Heart Rate (HR) when performing the intermittent physical operation at maximum power on a cycle ergometer.Methods: The stage on the study of the General functional athlete readiness (GFAR) performed using the sports standard “Red Engine” and the cycle ergometer in 16 volunteers (10 men, 6 women) whose average age was 21±1.17 years. To determine the sports potential of the volunteers in this study, we used own Coefficient of Anaerobic Capacity (CANAC Q, beats). Continuous recording of the heart rate and respiratory rate of volunteers in the maximum power sports test was carried out by the “RheoCardioMonitor” device with an athlete functional readiness module based on the method of Transthoracic electrical impedance rheography (TEIRG).Results: The degree of correlation of functional indicators (M, HRM, GFAR) with CANAC Q for the group in full (n=80) occurred at a very high level, which confirmed the effectiveness of using the Coefficient of Anaerobic Capacity (CANAC Q) in assessing the general functional athlete readiness of the volunteers. Conclusions: CANAC Q measured in “beats” of the heart and recorded very accurately using the method of transthoracic electrical impedance rheography (TEIRG). For this reason as promising sports PSM-system, CANAC Q can replace the methods for determining the functional athlete readiness by blood lactate concentration and maximum oxygen consumption.
Artificial Intelligence Enhanced UUV Actuator Control

Published: January 2023

This manuscript compares deterministic artificial intelligence to model following control applied to DC motor control, including evaluation of the threshold computation rate to let unmanned underwater vehicles correctly follow the challenging discontinuous square wave command signal. The approaches presented in the main text are validated in MATLAB®, where the motor process is discretized at multiple step sizes, which is inversely proportional to the computation rate. The performance is evaluated by the error mean and standard deviation. With a large step size, discrete deterministic artificial intelligence shows a larger error mean than the model-following self-turning regulator approach (benchmark selection). However, the performance gets optimized with the step size decreased. The error mean is close to the continuous deterministic artificial intelligence when the step size is reduced to 0.2 seconds, which means that the computation rate and the sampling period restrict discrete deterministic artificial intelligence. In that case, the continuous deterministic artificial intelligence is the most feasible and reliable selection for future applications on unmanned underwater vehicles since it is superior to all the approaches with multiple computation rates.
