Relationship of Tetrad Dark Personality Traits and Delinquent Behavior among Adolescents: Moderating Role of Social Support
Authors: Tuba Zafar  , Dr. Ansa Qurat-ul-ain
Published: October 2024

The current research studies the relationship between Dark Tetrad personality dimensions: Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, sadism, and delinquency in adolescence while considering the role of social support as the moderator. For this study the cross-sectional research design was used and the sample included 300 adolescents comprising 150 males and 150 females in the age group of 10 to 19 years randomly selected from twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The data were collected using the Short Dark Tetrad (SD4) self-reported delinquency – Problem Behavior Frequency Scale and Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (CASSS). The analyses conducted found positive and significant correlations between the dark personality traits and the delinquent behaviors with each of the dark personality traits being positively correlated with the manifests of delinquent behaviour. Furthermore, the study revealed that social support acted as a moderator that could help decrease the delinquency rate among the adolescents who possess a high level of dark personality traits. These imply that dark personality facets and insufficient social support should be targeted to reduce delinquency among adolescents. The results imply that any prevention or treatment programs targeted at decreasing delinquency must take into account the presence of dark personality features in adolescents, especially through modulating the perceived usefulness of social support. The insights from the research can be quite useful for schools, families, and community-oriented programs to design effective interventions not only to address behavior management but also to address the potentially detrimental effects associated with these personality traits.

Authors: Putra Agung Manik Septiana , Widyana I Made Gede
Published: October 2024

Post-cesarean back pain with spinal anesthesia is one of the most common complications and can affect the patient's quality of life. Although spinal anesthesia is a safe and commonly used option in surgical procedures, the risk of back pain remains, especially if the anesthesia technique is not optimal. This study aims to provide an overview of the incidence of post-cesarean section back pain with spinal anesthesia based on a literature review over the past 10 years. This study is a literature review that reviews 10 scientific journals published in the last 10 years. The focus of this study includes the prevalence of back pain, risk factors, anesthesia techniques, and post-cesarean section back pain management. The results of the review showed that the prevalence of post-cesarean back pain ranged from 30% to 50%, with the main risk factors being age, body mass index, and anesthesia techniques. The use of smaller atraumatic needles and careful anesthesia techniques can reduce the incidence of back pain. Back pain is generally temporary, but in some patients it can develop into chronic pain. Post-cesarean section back pain with spinal anesthesia can be prevented with proper anesthesia techniques and good pain management. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to reduce the prevalence of chronic pain and improve the patient's quality of life.

Association between Lifestyle Habits and Major Depression in Patients Attending Psychiatric Clinics in Sana’a City, Yemen: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Al-Safadi Essam H. , Alemad Adel A. , Hudna Ahmed S.
Published: October 2024

Background: Depression is a serious mental disorder and is ranked as the fourth leading cause of disease burden worldwide, which can be multifactorial with unclear etiology. Therefore, this study assessed the association be­tween certain lifestyle habits and depression among psychiatric patients in Sana’a city, Yemen.
Methods: An unmatched case-control study was conducted in October and November 2019 at Al-Amal Hospital for Psychiatric Diseases and outpatient clinics of the University of Science and Technology Hospital (USTH) in Sana’a. Thirty patients aged 18–65 years, with a mean age of 31.1 ± 10.4 years, who were diagnosed with major or unipolar depression for the first time in the past three months were conveniently selected as cases, while 90 adult subjects, with a mean age of 30.9 ± 10.5 years, were conveniently selected as non-depressed controls from various USTH clinics other than the psychiatric clinic during the study period. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle habits were collected using a structured questionnaire. Univariate analysis using the chi-square or Fisher’s exact test was used to test the association between lifestyle habits and depression, with a confidence level of less than 0.05.
Results: There was no statistically significant association between depression among patients attending psychi­atric clinics and current smoking status (OR = 0.9, 95% CI: 0.29–2.57; P = 0.785), khat chewing (OR = 1.0, 95% CI: 0.41–2.25; P = 0.913), or the frequency of khat chewing (OR = 0.8, 95% CI: 0.21–3.26; P = 0.932). Coffee drinking was not significantly associated with depression (OR = 1.1, 95% CI: 0.50–2.62; P = 0.750), while infrequent drinking of red tea was significantly associated with depression among patients compared to controls (OR = 16.8, 95% CI: 6.14–45.73; P <0.001). On the other hand, no significant association was found between hours of sleep per day and depression (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 0.71–3.87; P = 0.245). However, sedentary lifestyle was significantly associated with depression among psychiatric patients compared to controls (OR = 5.2, 95% CI: 2.15–12.7; P <0.001).
Conclusion: Drinking red tea and regular exercise may help reduce depression in psychiatric patients with de­pression. By encouraging the integration of red tea consumption and regular exercise into the daily routine of Yemeni patients with depression, healthcare providers can support the mental health and well-being of this pop­ulation.

The Role of Epigenetics in Obesity-Driven Hyperlipidemia: Understanding Gene-Environment Interactions
Authors:   School of Natural and Applied Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Kibibi J. Wambui
Published: October 2024

Obesity-driven hyperlipidemia, characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood, represents a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. While genetic predisposition plays a role, epigenetic modifications have emerged as key mediators of the complex interactions between genes and environmental factors, including diet, physical activity, and lifestyle. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, modulate gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence, influencing lipid metabolism and fat accumulation. This review explores the role of epigenetics in obesity-driven hyperlipidemia, focusing on the mechanisms by which environmental factors shape gene expression and contribute to metabolic dysregulation. We highlight recent advances in understanding how epigenetic alterations can predispose individuals to lipid disorders and examine potential therapeutic interventions that target these modifications to mitigate hyperlipidemia in obese individuals. Additionally, we discuss the importance of personalized medicine approaches in the prevention and management of obesity-related lipid disorders, considering individual epigenetic profiles.

The Role of Inflammation and Immune Dysregulation in the Pathogenesis of BPH
Authors:   Faculty of Biological Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Bizimana Rukundo T.
Published: October 2024

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that affects a significant proportion of aging men, often resulting in bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). While traditionally linked to hormonal imbalances, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT), emerging evidence has increasingly highlighted the critical role of chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation in BPH pathogenesis. Inflammatory infiltrates comprising immune cells such as macrophages, lymphocytes, and neutrophils are frequently observed in the prostates of men with BPH. This inflammatory response promotes cellular proliferation, disrupts apoptosis, and induces fibrosis, leading to prostate enlargement. Factors such as infections, autoimmune reactions, and oxidative stress contribute to this chronic inflammatory environment, which is further exacerbated by systemic inflammation associated with aging and metabolic disturbances. This review explores the mechanisms by which chronic inflammation drives BPH progression, including cytokine-mediated cell proliferation and growth factor-induced fibrosis, as well as the imbalance between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic signaling in prostate tissues. Furthermore, it delves into the potential of immune-targeted therapies as a novel approach to treating BPH, focusing on cytokine inhibitors, immune modulation, and anti-inflammatory agents. These therapies, which address the underlying inflammatory processes in BPH, offer promise in not only alleviating symptoms but also in slowing disease progression. By understanding the role of inflammation and immune dysregulation in BPH, novel therapeutic strategies may emerge, potentially revolutionizing the management of this common condition.

Babits Mihály Ady-előadása Debrecenben
Authors: Sebők Melinda
Published: October 2024

A debreceni Ady Társaság 1927. november 27-én, Ady születésének 50. évfordulóján irodalmi esttel ünnepelte névadója emlékét. A debreceni irodalmi élet képviselői leginkább Babits szereplésére számítottak, de meghívták előadónak Juhász Gyulát és Szabó Lőrincet is. Juhász Gyula verssel, Szabó Lőrinc Ady és a magyar ifjúság című előadással emlékezett a költőelődre. Juhász Gyula és Szabó Lőrinc alkotásai ismertek, Babits előadása azonban kézirattöredékekben lappang. A tanulmány a korabeli dokumentumok alapján ad információt az Ady-műsor eseményeiről, majd Babits kézirattöredékekből összeállítható Ady-előadásából idézve rekonstruálja és elemezi a Debrecenben elhangzott ünnepi beszéd szövegét.  Babits – máig kiadatlan – debreceni előadásában reflektált az Adyt ért vádakra: elutasította a költő politikai kisajátítását és a szövegtől független ideológiai értelmezését. Ady magyarságát, zsenialitását éppúgy hangsúlyozta, mint lírájának világirodalmi rangját és költői képeinek újszerűségét.

Published: October 2024

This study focuses on formulating and optimizing a conductive polymer composite (CPC) material tailored for electromechanical applications. Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) polymer and micro carbon particles derived from rice husk were compounded using a hot compaction process and melt blended through a single-screw extrusion machine. A mix of 50% loading of microcarbon particles was used in this research. It was determined that the experiment was successfully conducted, resulting in a stabilized density of approximately 1 g/cm³. The research demonstrates how the prototype Extruder Head effectively stabilizes the density of composites. Electrical conductivity demonstrated a notable increase in conductivity toward higher density. These findings underscore the successful development of a CPC material with improved electrical conductivity, making it a highly suitable tool for high carbon-loading composite material.

Published: October 2024

Diet and foraging studies in birds are essential for a comprehensive understanding of the transport of matter and energy in aquatic ecosystems. The use of passive methods has been suggested as a tool to identify the diet of birds. Based on the use of camera traps we report new food items for herons Tigrisoma lineatum, Ardea cocoi and Ardea alba in the Middle Magdalena Valley, Colombia. Camera traps function as a complementary tool for deciphering food items in waterbirds foraging at the edge of water bodies. They contribute considerably to the natural history of bird, fish and reptile species as well as to predatory behaviors, dietary relationships and their functional role within an ecosystem.
Implementation Challenges of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Small to Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) Participating in Public Projects in Qatar
Authors: Chmeit Rami , Lyu Junpeng , Pitt Michael
Published: October 2024

This research investigates the implementation challenges of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Small to Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) participating in public projects, with a focus on the construction industry in Qatar. Through a combination of literature review, surveys, and interviews, the study identifies key obstacles such as interoperability issues, financial constraints, organisational and cultural resistance, and the lack of comprehensive training programs.
The literature highlights the fragmented nature of construction projects and the potential of BIM to improve efficiency through enhanced data handling and collaboration. However, SMEs often struggle with the high initial costs of software and hardware, as well as the need for extensive training to bridge the skill gap. Interviews with industry professionals reveal that while mandatory BIM integration in public projects drives adoption, it also exacerbates these challenges for SMEs, which may lack the necessary resources and expertise.
Survey findings indicate that contractors frequently encounter issues with understanding and implementing BIM and meeting the government body standards, suggesting a need for better training and support. The study also emphasises the importance of strategic incremental adoption, where SMEs gradually integrate BIM into their processes, starting with low-level implementation in privately funded projects.
The research concludes that while BIM offers significant benefits for the construction industry, its successful adoption requires targeted support for SMEs. This includes financial incentives, improved interoperability standards, comprehensive training programs, and strategic change management approaches. Addressing these challenges will enable SMEs to fully leverage BIM's potential, enhancing project efficiency and competitiveness in the construction sector.
Upward social comparison on standardized test performance in adolescents and adults
Authors: Mantravadi Varsha , Klingelhoefer Julius
Published: October 2024

The use of standardized testing and its effects on students has undergone increasing debate in recent years. We utilized experimentally induced upward social comparison to better performing peers, which refers to comparing oneself to someone perceived as superior, versus comparison to peers who performed similarly. We hypothesized that this type of comparison affects adolescents’ actual and perceived standardized test performance in a subsequent standardized test and their self-efficacy, their belief in their capacity to succeed, more severely as compared to adults. A sample of adolescents and adults completed ten questions from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Then, every participant regardless of their actual score received false feedback, indicating that they scored in either the 10th percentile or the 50th percentile. Following the feedback, their performance on a second set of ten SAT questions, perceived performance on the second test, and self-efficacy was assessed. Our results partially support the presumed effects. A lower performance in the second test and less confidence about one’s performance was associated with comparing negatively in adolescents. This was not the case for self-efficacy. Fisher’s Z-test suggests that the correlation between negative comparisons and test performance, as well as between negative comparisons and perceived competency, was more negative in adolescents than in adults, suggesting that adolescents respond worse to negative comparisons. No such difference was found for self-efficacy. These results demonstrate the potential for unfavorable social comparisons by adolescents regarding standardized testing, and future studies are needed to investigate broader implications like how standardized testing impacts student mental health.
Survival analysis in cardiovascular epidemiology: nexus between heart disease and mortality
Authors: Lachwani Anya , Gianitsos Tim
Published: October 2024

In 2021, over 20 million people died from cardiovascular diseases, accounting for approximately one-third of all global deaths – an increase from the 1990’s when approximately 12 million people died each year. Given the significant implications, it is imperative to explore further. Past studies identified variations in the median survival rate following heart failure between different sexes. While one study found correlations between the gender and age of the patient, another looked at age and blood pressure. However, it is noteworthy that these studies have primarily focused on no more than three factors when in fact multiple factors contribute to mortality following heart failure. We explored which of the many variables influences the outcome of patient mortality in the event of heart failure and how the influence changes as these features are removed or added. We hypothesized that age and high blood pressure would be most strongly correlated with mortality following an instance of heart failure due to the structural changes caused by both of these factors that may impede function. While aging prompts changes in the heart's structure including muscle cell deterioration, valve rigidity, and reduced chamber capacity, high blood pressure hampers arterial capabilities. Random forest (RF) was the most effective of the three models created, and the three most important factors influencing the outcome of patient mortality were determined to be time, serum creatinine, and ejection fraction. This study could be one step out of the many that are needed towards assisting with personalized medicine to improve the chances of a patient's survival following heart failure.
Unveiling bias in ChatGPT-3.5: Analyzing constitutional AI principles for politically biased responses
Authors: Lo Vincent , Poosarla Hiresh , Singhal Aryan , Li Kathleen , Fu Hayden , Mui Phil
Published: October 2024

OpenAI's set of GPT models has been applied across a variety of applications in many industries. In a previous study by Sinha, et al. (2023), our group quantified the bias in responses from OpenAI's GPT- 3.0 model across various political subjects. Our results revealed a statistically significant left-leaning political bias in GPT-3.0’s responses for 9 out of the 11 analyzed political topics. In this research, we employed Anthropic's Constitutional artificial intelligence (AI) principles to mitigate GPT-3.5’s political bias. These principles outline the core principles that AI models must follow to ensure harmlessness and helpfulness. We conducted a series of tests by applying custom constitutional principles in an attempt to reduce political bias. We hypothesized that applying Anthropic’s Constitutional AI principles would result in a statistically significant reduction in the politically biased responses generated by ChatGPT. Our observations indicated a significant reduction in bias for the “abortion” and “racism and police” topics when using our custom principle with a tailored prompt template. For the other topics, surprisingly, our study did not uncover significant bias reduction in ChatGPT’s responses. This suggests that while constitutional principles can effectively mitigate bias in certain areas, their application across a broader range of topics requires further refinement and research to achieve consistent results.

Investigation of the Influence of Different Filler Contents of Wine Pomace in PBS on Fracture Mechanics Properties
Authors: Kleiber M. Isabell , Hiller M. Benedikt , Menigxue D.M. , Nase Michael
Published: October 2024

Biobased polybutylene succinate (PBS) represents a promising alternative to petrochemical-based polymers. The use of this biopolymeris limited in many areas by its low resilience against environmental influences. With the help of bio-based stabilizers the thermo-oxidative degradation process can be slowed down. Suitable stabilizing additives are natural antioxidants present in plant extracts with a high flavonoid content, which can be found in grapes, wine and wine by-products.
PBS was modified with two different bio-stabilizers based on wine grape pomace. The highest filler content tested was 20 wt.-%. In addition to improving stability, the additives also impact the polymer’s mechanics. The influence of these functional fillers on the fracture mechanical properties was examined in a quasi-static test. The crack growth was recorded using integrated video monitoring. Based on the results, the corresponding crack resistance curve and tearing modulus were determined depending on filler type and content. Additional optical analysis was used to correlate fracture mechanics and structure.
The two bio-stabilizers based on red (RWP) and white wine pomace (WWP) differs distinctly in terms of their influence on fracture mechanical properties. The Influence of RWPon the fracture toughness is significantly higher than that of WWP. Especially at lower filler contents with RWP, there is a strong increase in the fracture mechanics parameter tearing modulus (TJ) and an increase in the slope of the R-curve. With 5 wt.% RWP DOM the TJ is 13.64 x 102, whereas with WWP Silv a value of only 6.39 x 102 can be achieved. This difference is also reflected in the increase in the R-curves. With 5 wt.% a slope of the fitted R-curve of 265.59 (RWP DOM) and 121.02 (WWP Silv) could be determined with the first derivative. In the optical analysis it was noticeable that the RWP particles were more homogeneously dispersed in the matrix while the WWP filler tended to agglomerate. The inhomogeneous distribution and strong agglomeration tendency can be attributed to a higher sugar content of WWP and a higher particle size distribution. The top cut (D97) of WWP Silv is 62.37 ± 0.05 µm and that of RWP DOM is 51.97 ± 0.09 µm.

The Use of a Novel Surgical Irrigant May Be Associated with Decreased Incidence of Surgical Site Infections
Authors: Vatti Lohith , Gopinath Rohan , Heshmat Claire , Lariosa Samantha , Rabbitt Sarah , Bashyal Ravi
Published: October 2024

Background

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a formidable challenge to patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This investigation evaluated a novel antimicrobial surgical irrigation solution, XPerience (XP) (Next Science LLC, Jacksonville, FL), with proven high & persistent in-vivo efficacy against planktonic bacteria and biofilm. The primary objective of this investigation was to compare the incidence of PJI following TKA performed with use of XP versus a standard control rinse (povidone-iodine). The secondary outcome was an all-cause return to operating room (OR) rate.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 824 consecutive patients undergoing primary THA/TKA from 12/1/2019 - 11/30/2021 treated using povidone-iodine solution and 471 consecutive patients undergoing primary THA/TKA from 12/1/2021 - 12/30/2022 treated with XP at a single institution by the senior author. All surgeries in both groups followed largely identical preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative protocols. A total of 1,295 cases were analyzed. The groups shared largely analogous background characteristics pertaining to age, sex, BMI, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class.

Results

The overall SSI rate was 0% (0/471) in the XP group and 0.49% (4/824) in the control group (P = 0.3). The overall return to OR rate was 0.21% (1/471) in the XP group and 0.85% (7/824) in the control group (P = 0.3). Control group cases returned to the OR for hematoma debridements, periprosthetic fracture fixation, and PJI revisions.

Conclusion

This investigation is the first to remark on the clinical efficacy of a novel surgical irrigant. There was no statistically significant difference in rates of PJI or return to OR with the irrigant versus without, though a trend towards lower rates was observed in the context of a low baseline infection rate. Limitations pertaining to a single-center experience and sample size may be addressed by further studies incorporating broader enrollments.

Coup d’œil sur les soins familiaux et le travail au Canada
Authors: Battams Nathan
Published: October 2024

Il y a fort à parier qu’un jour ou l’autre, chacun sera appelé à fournir des soins à un proche, et probablement à en recevoir aussi. En règle générale, c’est aux membres de la famille que reviennent d’abord ces responsabilités, c’est-à-dire celles de fournir et d’encadrer les soins, et parfois aussi d’en payer la note. Les familles disposent d’une étonnante capacité d’adaptation et trouvent la plupart du temps divers moyens pour mener de front leurs multiples responsabilités, obligations et engagements sur les plans familial et professionnel. Cependant, il faut parfois beaucoup de temps, d’énergie et de ressources financières pour conjuguer les soins et le travail. À cet égard, les employeurs sont appelés à jouer un rôle important pour faciliter les choses grâce à des mesures d’adaptation et en faisant preuve d’innovation et de flexibilité. Le document intitulé Coup d’œil sur les soins familiaux et le travail au Canada s’intéresse à certains contextes familiaux et tendances qui illustrent la « réalité des soins » au pays, en soulignant l’interrelation et la corrélation entre les diverses responsabilités liées à la famille, aux soins et au travail, ainsi que les liens d’interdépendance qui les unissent.
What’s in a Name? Defining Family in a Diverse Society
Authors: Mirabelli Alan
Published: October 2024

For more than 50 years, the Vanier Institute of the Family has served as a national resource dedicated to exploring and understanding Canada’s diverse families. During this time, the Institute has sought to enhance and mobilize knowledge through research that documents the richness and complexity of families, family life, and family experiences, expectations and aspirations. A central component of this research has been the functional definition of family used by the Institute since the late 1980s. The Vanier Institute defines a family as any combination of two or more persons who are bound together over time by ties of mutual consent, birth and/or adoption or placement, and who together assume responsibilities for variant combinations of some of the following: physical maintenance and care of group members; addition of new members through procreation, adoption or placement; socialization of children; social control of members; production, consumption, distribution of goods and services; and affective nurturance (i.e. love).

Research on Real-time E-commerce Price Comparison System Using Python Web Scraping Technology
Authors: Chen Fan
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a study on the development of a real-time price comparison system for e-commerce platforms using Python-based web scraping technologies. The objective is to analyze and compare product prices across major e-commerce platforms, including Taobao, JD.com, and Amazon, by leveraging different web scraping libraries such as BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, and Selenium. The study outlines the technical challenges associated with dynamic content extraction, anti-scraping mechanisms, and the effectiveness of various scraping tools. Through experimental evaluation, we compare the scraping efficiency, success rate, and data accuracy across the three platforms. The results indicate that JD.com, with its mostly static content, offers the highest scraping efficiency when using BeautifulSoup, while Amazon, despite slower page loading, achieves a high success rate using Scrapy. Taobao, on the other hand, presents significant challenges due to its dynamic loading and strict anti-scraping measures, making Selenium the most appropriate tool, albeit with slower processing times. This research provides valuable insights into the selection of optimal web scraping techniques for real-time price comparison systems and highlights the impact of platform-specific challenges on the accuracy and efficiency of data extraction.

Authors: Hu Qinrui
Published: October 2024

This project focuses on analyzing and predicting box-office performance using data from Maoyan.com. Several key factors, including release year and month, ticket price, movie duration, and the proportion of positive reviews, are examined for their influence on box-office revenue. We begin by employing simple linear regression to investigate the relationship between Maoyan.com ratings for the top 250 movies and their box-office performance. Additionally, we construct an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to assess the impact of these factors over time. The model parameters are estimated using the least squares regression method, and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is minimized to achieve optimal prediction accuracy. Extensive data cleaning and preprocessing ensure the reliability of our analysis. The findings from this study provide valuable insights into the determinants of box-office success and offer a robust predictive model for future revenue estimation.

Innovation is the need of the hour for an organization to stay ahead of the competition. It’s a critical factor that can make or break an organization’s success. The factors influencing innovation, whether tangible or intangible, are complex and multifaceted. The factors that drive innovation need further research as proper tools are unavailable to determine the quantum of influence the factors have on innovation. Building on their previous research, the authors identified key factors that significantly influence innovation through a comprehensive literature review. This study, however, took a different approach, conducting an empirical investigation using a survey as a measuring tool. The study then performed statistical analysis on the data, identifying and shortlisting the factors that play a crucial role in driving innovation within an organizational context. The study employed a statistical analysis, including a large sample z-test for proportions and hypothesis testing for each of the 25 factors. This approach led to the shortlisting of 13 factors that significantly influence innovation. Furthermore, the study used Correlation analysis to understand the interdependency among the innovation factors, adding another layer to the research. Further research may be directed toward devising a mathematical model for the innovation index for use as a measuring tool to assess an organization’s innovation potential.

Authors: Yu Liang , Juanatas Ronaldo , Zheng Mingliang
Published: October 2024

A four-degree-of-freedom PR1300 stacking robot with two parallel quadrilateral structures connected in series at the shoulder was designed. The hybrid robot with local closed chains has the characteristics of compact structure, high stiffness, and high modularity. To solve the dynamic problem of the hybrid robot. Firstly, by analyzing the induced relationship between joints, the stacking robot with a local closed chain structure is transformed into two branch chain mechanisms, and the kinematic model of the robot is established using the D-H parameter method. Secondly, the Kane method is applied to model the dynamics of the two branch chains separately, and the rigid body dynamics Kane equation of the entire 4-DOF stacking robot with a closed chain structure is obtained through the augmented matrix. Finally, the SolidWorks Motion mechanical simulation platform and MATLAB software were used to program dynamic simulations and numerical calculations, and the results were compared to verify the correctness of the dynamic theory derivation. This theory provides a necessary theoretical basis for the subsequent synthesis of robot dynamic scales.
