This paper presents the insightful factors that contribute to the student's willingness to participate in the new collaborative learning from the e-peer mentoring programme conducted. Hence, a quantitative correlational research design was implemented in this study to achieve two objectives: first, to determine the significant mean difference between student’s emotional willingness to the programme and gender, and second, to determine how altruism, organizational culture, and leadership skills influence the willingness of students to participate in the e-peer mentoring conducted from the mentor’s perspective. The questionnaires were distributed to 83 students involved in this program. The findings revealed that the emotional willingness to e-peer mentoring programs among students’ gender is equal whereas the gender stereotypes on how they view peer mentoring programs do not apply to these students. Besides, there are significant positive relationships between altruism, organizational culture, and leadership skills toward emotional willingness to e-peer mentoring programs since all the p-values are less than 0.05. In addition, from the three factors considered, only altruism and organizational skills are directly related to the emotional willingness of students. This study offers valuable insights for e-peer mentoring program organizers, educators, and administrators, enabling them to develop strategies that nurture mentor emotional engagement and improve the program outcomes.

Considerando los resultados de investigaciones previas revisadas en revistas internacionales de corriente principal, se ha teorizado que en general las empresas incrementan de manera deliberada el pago de dividendos bajo circunstancias de mayor incertidumbre. En este trabajo, mediante la aplicación de pruebas estadísticas no paramétricas, los resultados mostrarían cierta concordancia con lo ilustrado en investigaciones previamente existentes.

This paper presents a novel method for solving the inverse kinematic problem of capturing human reaching movements using a dynamic biomechanical model. The model consists of rigid segments connected by joints and actuated by markers. The method was validated against a rotation matrix-based method using motion capture data recorded during reaching movements performed by healthy human volunteers. The results showed that the proposed method achieved low errors in joint angles. The angles were comparable to those calculated using the standard marker-based method. The proposed bioinspired method can be used in real-time medical applications, such as rehabilitation, assessment, and prosthesis/orthosis control.

The development of advanced prosthetic devices that can be seamlessly used during an individual's daily life remains a significant challenge in the field of rehabilitation engineering. This study compares the performance of deep learning architectures to shallow networks in decoding motor intent for prosthetic control using electromyography (EMG) signals. Four neural network architectures, including a feedforward neural network with one hidden layer, a feedforward neural network with multiple hidden layers, a temporal convolutional network, and a convolutional neural network with squeeze-and-excitation operations were evaluated in real-time, human-in-the-loop experiments with able- bodied participants and an individual with an amputation. Our results demonstrate that deep learning architectures outperform shallow networks in decoding motor intent, with representation learning effectively extracting underlying motor control information from EMG signals. Furthermore, the observed performance improvements by using deep neural networks were consistent across both able-bodied and amputee participants. By employing deep neural networks instead of traditional machine learning approaches, more reliable and precise control of a prosthesis can be achieved, which has the potential to significantly enhance prosthetic functionality and improve the quality of life for individuals with amputations.

The problem of computing machine passing the maze is one of theoretical computer science key tasks. This task was partially considered by the classics of computer science, e.g. A. Turing, C. Shannon, L. Budach and Z. Pawlak. Labyrinth problem solving includes fundamental knowledges in the main three branches, namely  environment (labyrinth) knowledge, computing machines features knowledge and behavior of computing machines in labyrinth knowledge. These three components are built on the fundamental basis of the theoretical computer science. Nowadays the labyrinth passing task is complemented by intellectuality as an additional criterion. That is, computing machines must acquire intelligent functions, and this task gets a new component and a new statement, which is briefly formulated as the search for a way out of the labyrinth by intelligent computing machines. The main concept of this article is to develop artificial neural networks based intelligent functions for calculating machine to pass the maze. Besides this visual aspect is emphasized, i.e. the computational machine includes a maze viewing function. Authors accentuate fundamental principles of artificial neural networks technologies building  and engage backpropagation algorithm, which is used in a artificial neural network learning process. The article discusses maze, dataset construction, artificial neural network training, maze recognition computational experiment and analysis of the hyperparameters effect on artificial neural network training.

The aim of the article is to build mathematical model based on backpropagation algorithm and to identify how hyperparameters affect the learning process of artificial neural networks. Thus the research is based on the methods of computational experiment and step-by-step detailing to implement the algorithm. The results of the research include theoretical basis of computing machines intellectualization for the maze and computing machine ability to recognize the maze. These results may be useful to theorists for a detailed description of the process and to practitioners for ability to test this algorithm and approach while solving a problem of maze passing by intelligent agents.

The introduction, after recalling the aims of the PRIN project from which this volume originates and describing the criteria used in the census of the lordships present in 14th-15th century Italy, illustrates the four main themes dealt with in the essays collected in the volume: the sources produced and collected by the lordships, the relations between lordship and external powers, the economy, and the societies subject to the lords. Finally, it asks whether, despite the many geographical differences, it is possible to discern a specificity of the Italian lordship with respect to that of other European regions.
