A new sensorless control strategy of the PMLSM based on an ultra-local model velocity control system
Authors: Li Zheng , Zhang Zihao , Feng Shengdi , Wang Jinsong , Guo Xiaoqiang , Sun Hexu
Published: September 2022

Abstract. To improve the control performance and dynamic response of the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), a new sensorless control strategy of the PMLSM with the ultra-local model velocity control system is designed in this paper. Firstly, a model-free speed controller (MFSC) is constructed based on the principle of the ultra-local model. Meanwhile, based on the traditional sliding-mode observer (SMO), the back-electromotive force (BEMF) in the SMO is optimized by the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) to improve the observed speed information of the PMLSM. This control strategy improves the dynamic response ability and stability of the PMLSM system. Compared with the traditional motor control strategy, this design gets rid of the dependence on mechanical sensors, improves the dynamic response ability of the PMLSM, and reduces the velocity tracking error. The superiority of the control system is verified by simulation and experiment. Compared with the traditional dual proportional–integral (PI) control system and SMO, the new control strategy can improve the dynamic response performance of the PMLSM, enhance the stability, and track the speed information of the PMLSM with low error to reduce the chatter.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. Ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea are thinning rapidly as ocean currents bring warm water into the cavities beneath the floating ice. Although the reported melt rates for the Getz Ice Shelf are comparatively low for the region, its size makes it one of the largest freshwater sources around Antarctica, with potential consequences for, bottom water formation downstream, for example. Here, we use a 2-year-long novel mooring record (2016–2018) and 16-year-long regional model simulations to describe, for the first time, the hydrography and circulation in the vicinity of the ice front between Siple and Carney Island. We find that, throughout the mooring record, temperatures in the trough remain below 0.15 ∘C, more than 1 ∘C lower than in the neighboring Siple and Dotson Trough, and we observe a mean current (0.03 m s−1) directed toward the ice shelf front. The variability in the heat transport toward the ice shelf appears to be governed by nonlocal ocean surface stress over the Amundsen Sea Polynya region, and northward to the continental shelf break, where strengthened westward ocean surface stress leads to increased southward flow at the mooring site. The model simulations suggest that the heat content in the trough during the observed period was lower than normal, possibly owing to anomalously low summertime sea ice concentration and weak winds.

Authors: Tanjung Hendra , Indrawan Andri
Published: September 2022

This study aims to investigate the effect of idealism and relativism on accounting students' perceptions of accountants' unethical behavior. This research is important because the accounting profession is the guardian of public trust and accounting students are prospective accountants. The research was conducted using a survey technique with accounting students as respondents from a religion-based university. The prepared questionnaire was sent to accounting student respondents and the data that was successfully obtained through a questionnaire and met the requirements was then processed using SPSS 24 software. The quality of the data was determined through a series of tests such as normality and classical assumptions. The hypothesis was tested by multiple regression. The test results partially or simultaneously show that idealism and relativism affect accounting students' perceptions of accountants' unethical behavior. Therefore, universities as printers of the next generation need to provide learning that is able to improve and maintain idealism and foster relativism that is positive or in accordance with applicable norms. Providing learning about moral ethics and adding religious learning can be one solution. Key words: idealism, relativism, accountants, perception, ethics

This study aims to determine the effect of product variant variables and consumer purchasing decisions which are expected to increase the percentage of sales on Indomie products. The population used in this study was the school-age population in Tengah Tani Subdistrict, Cirebon Regency, amounting to 15,814 people. This research method uses area sampling technique. To determine which population will be used as a data source, the sampling is based on a population of 15,814 people, taking the sample using amounted to 105 school-age residents in Tengah Tani District, Cirebon Regency. Data were obtained from questionnaires which were then analyzed using the SPSS program. The results showed the results of the regression equation as follows: Y = 10.100 + 0.675 X. Hypothesis testing using the t-test showed that the two independent variables with a t-value of 8.227 and a t-table of 1.660 that were studied were proven to have a significant effect on the dependent variable. Figures R of 0.630 and R Square of 0.397 indicate that 39.7% of product variance can be explained by independent variables in the regression equation. So from these results, the factors that become the basis for consumers to buy Indomie products are so many product variants, and the many product variants in each type of product. Therefore, the quality of these factors must be maintained and it would be better if the quality should be further improved. With better quality, it is not impossible that Indomie products will become one of the products that are in great demand by the public. Keywords: Product variant, Consumer Purchase Decision, Indomie Products

Authors: Kašťáková Elena , Žatko Matúš , Jarossová Malgorzata Agnieszka
Published: September 2022

The paper examines and evaluates the impact of the Russian embargo on the development and specialization of agri-food foreign trade between Slovakia and Russia through the evaluation of the one-factor Lafay and Grubel-Lloyd indexes. As a result of the application of the Russian embargo on imports of agri-food products, based on the calculation of the indexes, we can state that the degree of specialization of Slovak agri-food foreign trade has changed. Although in 2013 Slovakia specialized in exporting a relatively wide range of agri-food products, in 2020, their number decreased. Also, in 2020 there was no overall increase in the volume of mutual trade. In general, Slovakia's exports to Russia decreased compared to 2013. The following factors have contributed to this situation: substantial attenuation, that is, the elimination of Slovak agri-food exports to Russia based on the impact of the Russian embargo with side effects and an increase in imports from Russia but not in absolute but relative terms in the context of its comparison with Slovak exports.
The Impact of the Hockey-Stick Phenomenon on the Retail Industry in India: Pre and During COVID-19
Authors: AHMED Tooba , AHMED Salma , NAIM Hamza
Published: September 2022

The hockey-stick sales phenomenon has been less examined in the earlier studies and doesn’t receive much attention due to the cumbersome process involved in the change of sales policies in the companies and the overall restructuring of the supply chain management. The process is costly and mostly the hockey-stick sales phenomenon has an adverse impact on the profitability of companies. However, this was not observed in the case of the companies belonging to the retail industry in India. Our study shows that hockey-stick sales have a positive impact on the profitability of the companies measured by Profit After Tax (PAT) while on the other hand during the COVID-19 period, the hockey-stick sales phenomenon appears to impact negatively the profitability of the companies specifically. The results could not be generalized as the results are industry specific, but the methodology could be applied to a different industrial sector in order to study the relationship between hockey-stick sales and profitability and its impact on the performance of the companies.
Effets et conséquences du projet de modification de l’article 266 CPC
Authors: Campiche Étienne
Published: September 2022

Le code suisse de procédure civile (CPC) en vigueur depuis 2011 fait l’objet d’un projet de modification portant sur l’amélioration de la praticabilité et de l’application du droit. Le 10 mai 2022, le Conseil national a suivi la proposition du Conseil des Etats visant à supprimer l’adverbe « particulièrement » du texte de l’art. 266 let. a CPC. À la lecture des arguments des deux camps, on peut relever une nette opposition entre, d’une part, l’affirmation que cette modification n’entraînera aucune conséquence sur la liberté des médias et la liberté d’information, et, d’autre part, la crainte qu’elle restreindra ces libertés. L’auteur propose des pistes de réflexion permettant de mieux comprendre la portée du changement législatif projeté, sur la base d’une brève revue de jurisprudence et des débats parlementaires. Selon lui, la modification de l’art. 266 let. a CPC n’aura pas de réelle portée.

Published: September 2022

Urochloa ramosa is a plant of the wet, seasonally dry and semi-arid tropics. It is also known as Bracharia ramosa or Brown top millet. Qualitative analysis of phytochemicals in methanol extracts were performed by standard methods. Partially purified phenolics from the methanol extract of leaf sample was subjected for different biological activities. In vitro antimicrobial activity was executed on Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive) and Proteus, Salmonella and Escherichia coli (Gram negative) bacteria and Candida albicans (yeast type fungi). Minimum inhibitory concentration was calculated by Resazurin method. In-vitro antioxidant assay was conducted by DPPH radical, NO. radical, superoxide anion radical scavenging assays and OH radical scavenging activity by DNA protection assay using BHT as the reference compound. IC50 value of methanol extract for each of these assays was calculated. Albumin denaturation assay, antiproteinase activity and membrane stabilization were performed to test the anti-inflammatory potential at various concentrations of methanol extract of U.ramosa. In vivo anti-angiogenesis activity was carried out by shell less chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. In the antimicrobial activity we found that Staphylococcus aureus showed considerable susceptiblity with the MIC value of 145μg and Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most resistant with the MIC value of 378μg/ml. IC50 of 10.10µg/ml, IC50 of 17.32µg/ml and IC50 of 25.12µg/ml demonstrated antioxidant activities of methanol extract of U. ramosa by scavenging DPPH, NO. and superoxide anion radicals respectively. At 100µg/ml concentration, methanol extract significantly protected DNA against the effect of hydroxyl radicals. Protein denaturation was protected between concentrations 100-500µg/ml of methanol extract, maximum proteinase inhibitory activity was significantly found at 500µg/ml concentration and even haemolysis (heat and hypotonicity induced) was prevented considerably at 500µg/ml of methanol extract. Inhibition of proliferation of capillaries was observed in chorioallantoic membrane assay proving methanol extract’s antiangiogenic property. The leaves of Urochloa ramosa are basically enriched with natural phenolics with multitudinous biological potencies that can represent a promising class as bioactive molecules.

Authors: Bhatti Manisha , Dhawal Bhandari Divya , Singh Jitender
Published: September 2022

Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is one of the major problems of the gastrointestinal tract occurs in the stomach, duodenum and oesophagus. PUD is characterized by mucosal damage either by pepsin, gastric acid secretion or bacterial infection. Apart from infection due to gram negative bacteria-Helicobacter pylori, regular consumptions of the medications like, NSAIDS, steroids and excessive stress are also some major causes of the PUD. Complications of PUD may include bleeding, perforation, and blockage of the stomach. The PUD is an emerging health challenge in the developed and developing countries. Commonly use of potent synthetic antiulcer chemotherapy arises with adverse effects that might be a cause of serious health challenge. Traditional utilization and scientific reports of medicinal plants in the management of peptic ulcer-like-symptoms urge to redesign the existing clinical approach of using synthetic drugs for the treatment of PUD and adopt the scientifically proven plant drugs for the treatment of PUD which might free or have lesser adverse effects as compared to the synthetic chemotherapy. The review might bestow a strategic planning for the treatment of PUC to the medical practitioners and a newer scope to the researchers to explore the traditional claims of the plant drugs.

Published: September 2022

Background: Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder characterized by recurrent bleeding, especially in joints (hemarthrosis), leading to destructive effect to the most of joint components, resulting in synovitis, osteochondral degeneration, and eventually, end-stage hemophilic arthropathy. Objective: Since few published data exist about the influence of OPG (Osteoprotegrin) and RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand) in haemophilic arthropathy, the present study is conducted to investigate their serum level in hemophilic patients. Methodology: This study has been carried out on Iraqi patients with hemophilia in the National Center of Hematology/Mustansiriyah University. Forty male patients involved in this study with a range of (11-44) years old, Hemophilia A affected 25 of them, while the other 15 were hemophilia B. Along with patient group, 20 healthy subjects with matched age and gender were involved as control group. The presence and severity of arthropathy among patients was determined based activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)) in hemophilic patients, while RANKL and OPG were determined in the serum samples of healthy and patient subjects. Result: The serum level of RANKL in Hemophilia A patients was (204.6pg/ml) is significantly (p0.001) higher than in control (164.5pg/ml) and in Hemophilia B patients was (200pg/ml). While the serum level of OPG in Hemophilia A patients was (67.2pg/ml) is significantly (p0.002) higher than in control (30.21pg /ml) and in Hemophilia B patients (48.85pg/ml). Conclusion: It can be concluded that this system RANKL, RANK, and OPG are important for the metabolism of bones.

¿Por qué muchos emigrantes no se inscriben en el Padrón de Españoles Residentes en el Extranjero?
Authors: Romero-Valiente Juan Manuel
Published: September 2022

Más de la mitad de los emigrados españoles en 2008-2012 no se habían inscrito en el PERE al final de dicho período. En este artículo se identifican, analizan y calibran los motivos de ello. La metodología utilizada es mixta y triangular. Su principal insumo son las informaciones obtenidas a través de una encuesta y entrevistas realizadas a algo más de cuatro mil emigrantes españoles. Se concluye que los principales motivos para no haber realizado dicha inscripción son: su carácter voluntario, la falta de necesidad y/o de interés, el desconocimiento/desinformación sobre su utilidad, las dificultades de acceso a las oficinas y servicios consulares, y el propio deseo de seguir empadronada/o en un municipio español.

Authors: García Alonso Oihana , Etxano Iker , Garmendia Eneko
Published: September 2022

En un contexto en el que el estudio y análisis de los comunes ha resurgido con vigor, la gobernanza de los sistemas comunales de pastoreo afronta nuevos retos derivados de sus múltiples usos y de un contexto social y económico cambiante. En este trabajo se analiza el caso de la Mancomunidad de Enirio-Aralar (Gipuzkoa, País Vasco), lugar donde recientemente han emergido conflictos y donde en definitiva se está poniendo en riesgo la gobernanza de su sistema comunal tradicional. Se concluye que sólo la adaptación de la Mancomunidad tanto a las nuevas funciones que le demanda la sociedad como al creciente intervencionismo de las instituciones provinciales y europeas en la ordenación del territorio rural, podrá seguir garantizando su supervivencia como comunal en el futuro.

Authors: Boulahlib Loutfi , Abd Manaf Noor Hazilah , Ismail Izhairi Bt , Islam Rafikul
Published: September 2022

This study aims to explore factors that influence attitudes towards implementing TQM among the academic staff in one of the Malaysian higher education institutions. A total of 270 questionnaires were distributed among academic staff at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), and a total of 209 questionnaires were completed. The method that best fits with the objective of this research is exploratory factor analysis. The results showed that three factors influenced the attitude of the IIUM academic staff on the execution of TQM principles. The findings of this research may stimulate other institutions to apply TQM principles in education and how TQM can be implemented in higher education. Senior-level management should take the opportunity to work together with the academic staff to boost the learning process by providing them with a platform to voice their points of view and suggestions. This paper contributes to the TQM literature and provides an important insight into current knowledge. The findings allow for implications to be made for both top management and policymakers.

Background: Acute Bacterial Meningitis (ABM) is not an uncommon ailment seen both in developing and developed countries. For the patients presenting with fever and seizures, the trend of doing CT scan brain is on the rise, which may not be justifiable in all cases. Objective: To determine the frequency of radiological findings on computed tomography (CT) of the brain among children presenting with acute bacterial meningitis. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Pediatrics KEMU/Mayo Hospital Lahore after IRB approval. Patients with CSF-proven ABM whose CT brains had been performed were enrolled retrospectively, and the presence of hydrocephalus, cerebral infarct, edema and abscess as per CT report were recorded. Data were stratified for age, gender and duration of symptoms. Chi-square test was applied to compare findings in stratified groups. Results: A total of 165 ABM patients with a mean age of 6.2 ±1.3 years; 68.5% (113) males and 31.5% (52) females were included. CT brain was normal in 92 (55.8%), while 29 (17.6%) had cerebral edema, 20 (12.1%), 11 (6.7%) and 13 (7.9%) had cerebral infarct, hydrocephalus and cerebral abscess respectively. Conclusion: Computed Tomography is a useful tool for detecting intracranial complications of ABM. But routine use of CT-brain in every patient without clear indications should be avoided to decrease the risk of radiation exposure as well as to save resources.

Role of Compatible Solutes in Alleviating Effect of Abiotic Stress in Plants
Authors: Jabeen Dr. Munifa , Jabeen Atiqa
Published: September 2022

Plants face assorted of abiotic stresses such as, salinity, drought and heavy metals which produce ROS, and finally inhibit normal growth plant production. To stop cellular destruction due to oxidative stress, these abiotic stresses increase complex reactions in plants to avoid damage and boost their sustainability under severe stress situations. Plants produce several organic solutes known as osmoprotectant such as, polyamines, sugars, proline and glycinebetaine (GB), to adjust the cellular mechanism and stable the membrane structure and proteins towards environmental stress. As well, they also defend the plant cells from oxidative stress by stopping the accumulation of damaging effect of ROS. In this review, we have deliberated the mechanisms of organic solutes as well as several functions in plants under abiotic stress situations. The organic solutes that are also known as osmolytes/osmoprotectants comprise soluble sugars, proline and glycinebetaine.
