Authors: Sinaga Friska , Triastuti Lidwina , Yunita Maria
Published: May 2021

Joint pain could have impact on the wellbeing of elders with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Several factors could influence joint pain. Therefore, it is beneficial to explore contributing factors regarding with joint pain among Indonesian elders with knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to explore predicting factors affecting joint pain of people with knee osteoarthritis. A descriptive cross sectional design was used and involved 100 participants. All participants were asked to answer the demographic questionnaire, Lifestyle Modification Behaviors Questionnaire (LMBQ), and Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain (ICOAP). These instruments were validated by three experts. The internal consistency reliability of the LMBQ and ICOAP yielded a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of .84 and .95, respectively. The results indicated significant correlation between joint pain and age, body mass index, education, duration being diagnosed with OA , level of severity, and lifestyles modification behaviors. However, there was no significant difference between occupation, genders and joint pain. A multiple regression was conducted. Age, BMI, diseases duration, level severity of knee OA, and lifestyles behaviors were examined as predictors. These variables statistically significant predict join pain F (5.94) = 5.467, p< 0.001), R2=0.225. Age, gender, BMI, diseases duration, severity of knee OA, and lifestyle behaviors were related to joint pain. Therefore, nursing and other health professional should concern and consider these factors in allocating care to reduce joint pain in this group.

THE EFFECT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH ON INCOME INEQUALITY:PANEL DATA ANALYSIS FROM FIFTY COUNTRIES
Authors: Alamanda Alamanda
Published: May 2021

The relationship between economic growth and income inequality is one of the controversial issues in macroeconomics. Many studies have been done to show the relationship between economic growth and income inequality. However, the research about this problem by using panel data is still minimum. Also, there is still no research that differentiates the effect between lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income countries. This paper examines the effect of economic growth on income inequality by analysing a panel data set of fifty countries from 2000 to 2018. Using the Pooled OLS, Fixed Effect, and Random Effect Model, this paper finds that economic growth has a positive significant impact on income inequality, which means the higher the economic growth, the bigger the gap between the rich and the poor. The empirical evidence suggests that a one-point increase in GDP growth will increase the Gini Index by 0.082 to 0.085 points on average. Moreover, the paper finds that the effect of economic growth on increasing the incidence of income inequality seems to be higher in lower-middle and upper-middle income countries than in high-income countries.

Saat ini hampir Negara di seluruh dunia telah terjangkit Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). Virus ini pada awalnya muncul di Negara China, tepatnya Kota Wuhan pada akhir tahun 2019. Virus ini sangat berbahaya karena penularannya dari manusia ke manusia lain begitu cepat bahkan sampai saat ini belum ada obat ataupun vaksin yang dapat menanggulangi virus corona. Tak terkecuali Indonesia, yang semakin hari jumlah kasus COVID-19 semakin meningkat. Adanya wabah ini tentunya berdampak besar hampir di seluruh aspek baik ekonomi, social, budaya, bahkan pendidikan. Hampir semua jenjang pendidikan yang awalnya dilakukan di sekolah kini beralih daring/online. Pandemi Covid 19 memicu karantina, kematian, kemiskinan, dan kegelisahan yang mengakibatkan krisis gangguan mental yang serius. Pandemi ini menyebabkan krisis kesehatan global yang berdampak pada semua orang. Kehidupan para remaja pun nyatanya ikut terpengaruh seiring dengan dilakukannya berbagai kebijakan untuk mengurangi dampak dari pandemi ini. Kondisi mental para remaja semakin diuji dan tidak sedikit dari mereka yang akhirnya menjadi stress. Stress adalah salah satu tanda bahwa pemikiran seseorang menjadi irasional/negatif. Menurut WHO (2019), stress yang muncul selama masa pandemi COVID-19 bisa berupa rasa takut dan cemas mengenai kesehatan diri dan kesehatan orang terdekatnya, pola tidur/pola makan berubah, sulit berkonsentrasi, hingga menggunakan obat-obatan/ narkoba. Kondisi psikologis para remaja yang notabenenya masih rentan dan mudah terganggu, makin diperparah dengan kondisi di lingkungan sekitarnya yang tidak mendukung mereka melakukan aktivitas seperti biasanya. Apalagi dengan situasi seperti sekarang ini yang mengharuskan sang anak untuk bisa bertindak sesuai dengan kondisi dan aturan yang ada dan mereka tidak bebas melakukan sesuatu yang menjadi kebiasaan mereka untuk dilakukan di luar rumah.

Assertiveness is an important social skill among Young Adults that enhance their personal well-being. Assertiveness may be influenced by certain variables like Fear of Negative Evaluation, especially in social interaction situations. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between Assertiveness and Fear of Negative Evaluation among Young Adults. The current study was conducted on 174 Young Adults both men and women between the age group of 18-25 years, who are residing in the cities of Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Quantitative approach was used along with Correlational research design was adopted and the sampling technique was purposive. Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (Rathus, 1978) and Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation scale (Leary, 1983) were administered on the participants to assess differences based on gender (men and women). Correlational analysis showed a moderate significant negative correlation between Assertiveness and Fear of Negative Evaluation among Young Adults. Results of t- test showed no significant difference in the level of Assertiveness and Fear of Negative Evaluation between men and women among Young Adults. The results of the study will help to develop interventions for people with low levels of Assertiveness and will also help to develop interventions for people with high levels of Fear of Negative Evaluation.
The Effect of Spatial Distance between Objects on Categorization Level
Authors: Schneider Iris K. , Mattes André
Published: May 2021

We show that spatial distance between two objects influences how people categorize these objects. We report three (two pre-registered) experiments that show that when objects are presented close together (proximal), they are more likely to be categorized in a superordinate category than when they are presented further apart (distant). In Experiments 1A and 1B, participants provided spontaneous category labels in an open response format. In Experiment 2, we asked participants to indicate their preference for either of two category labels. We found that when objects are close together, they are categorized more often into superordinate categories than when objects are far apart (Experiment 1A and 2). Our findings demonstrate that the categorization of objects is, in part, determined by where they are in relation to other objects
A Neural Network Model of Lexical-Semantic Competition during Spoken Word Recognition
Authors: Duta Mihaela , Plunkett Kim
Published: May 2021

Visual world studies show that upon hearing a word in a target-absent visual context containing related and unrelated items, toddlers and adults briefly direct their gaze towards phonologically related items, before shifting towards semantically and visually related ones. We present a neural network model that processes dynamic unfolding phonological representations and maps them to static internal lexical, semantic and visual representations. The model, trained on representations derived from real corpora, simulates this early phonological over semantic/visual preference. Our results support the hypothesis that incremental unfolding of a spoken word is in itself sufficient to account for the transient preference for phonological competitors over both unrelated and semantically and visually related ones. Phonological representations mapped dynamically in a bottom-up fashion to semantic-visual representations capture the early phonological preference effects reported in a visual world task. The semantic-visual preference typically observed later in such a task does not require top-down feedback from a semantic or visual system.
How the Initial Level of Trust in Automated Driving Impacts Drivers’ Behaviour and Early Trust Construction
Authors: Manchon J. B. , Bueno Mercedes , Navarro Jordan
Published: May 2021

Trust in Automation is known to influence human-automation interaction and user behaviour. In the Automated Driving (AD) context, studies showed the impact of drivers’ Trust in Automated Driving (TiAD), and linked it with, e.g., difference in environment monitoring or driver’s behaviour. This study investigated the influence of driver’s initial level of TiAD on driver’s behaviour and early trust construction during Highly Automated Driving (HAD). Forty drivers participated in a driving simulator study. Based on a trust questionnaire, participants were divided in two groups according to their initial level of TiAD: high (Trustful) vs. low (Distrustful). Declared level of trust, gaze behaviour and Non-Driving-Related Activities (NDRA) engagement were compared between the two groups over time. Results showed that Trustful drivers engaged more in NDRA and spent less time monitoring the road compared to Distrustful drivers. However, an increase in trust was observed in both groups. These results suggest that initial level of TiAD impact drivers’ behaviour and further trust evolution.
Teacher-Student Relationship and Academic Adaptation in College Freshmen: Disentangling the Between-Person Effects and Within-Person Effects
Authors: Li Jian Bin
Published: May 2021

Developing a good relationship with teachers and adapting to the new academic environment are important developmental issues for college freshmen. Based on three-wave longitudinal data collected at the 2nd (T1), 4th (T2), and 8th (T3) months upon entry to college, this study examined the dynamic associations between teacher-student relationship (TSR) and academic adaptation among 1,578 Chinese college freshmen. Results of cross-lagged panel model found a reciprocal association between TSR and academic adaptation across time points. Results of random-intercept, cross-lagged panel model suggested that after controlling for the significant association between TSR and academic adaptation at the between-person level, the within-person changes in TSR at T2 predicted corresponding changes in academic adaptation at T3. In conclusion, the association between TSR and academic adaptation is mainly due to the stable, trait-like difference between individuals and partly due to state-like variations within individuals. Practically, enhancing TSR seems a promising avenue to facilitate academic adaptation among college freshmen.
Explanations in the wild
Authors: Sulik Justin , van Paridon Jeroen , Lupyan Gary
Published: May 2021

Why do some explanations strike people as highly satisfying while others, seemingly equally accurate, satisfy them less? We asked lay-people to generate and rate thousands of open-ended explanations in response to 'Why?' questions spanning multiple domains, and analyzed the properties of these explanations, to discover (1) what kinds of features are associated with greater explanation quality; (2) whether people can tell how good their explanations are; and (3) which cognitive traits predict the ability to generate good explanations. Our results support a pluralistic view of explanation, where satisfaction is best predicted by either functional or mechanistic content. Respondents were better able to judge how accurate their explanations were than how satisfying they were to others. Insight problem solving ability was the cognitive ability most strongly associated with the generation of satisfying explanations.
Examining the relations among working memory capacity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptomology, and conscious experience
Authors: Beikmohamadi Leila , Meier Matt Ethan
Published: May 2021

Van den Driessche et al. (2017) found that children and young adults with more Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms report more mind blanking than those with fewer ADHD symptoms and that non-medicated children with ADHD reported less mind wandering and more mind blanking than medicated children with ADHD. Van den Driessche et al. speculated that medication facilitated executive control and that executive resources support mind wandering (and on-task thought). Besides describing the conscious experience of those with ADHD symptomology, these findings bear on the theoretical debate of executive functions’ role in conscious experience. Some argue that executive functions support mind wandering (Levinson, Smallwood, & Davidson, 2012; Smallwood, 2010, 2013), while others argue that mind wandering situationally results from a lack (or failure) of executive control (McVay & Kane, 2010; Meier, 2019). Here, we conducted a study like Van den Driessche et al.’s study with young adults (Experiment 2, 2017) and tested the associations between ADHD symptomology and conscious experience. Rather than speculating about the effects of medication, we directly measured executive functioning (via complex span tasks). Like Van den Driessche et al., we observed a positive association between mind blanking and ADHD, but we detected no evidence supporting the claim that executive functions support mind wandering. We also assessed the relative associations between task performance metrics and reports of mind blanking and mind wandering. We did not detect differential performance associations between those thought reports.

It's not what it looks like! Early Attention is Captured by Attractive Faces
Authors: Owens Rebecca , Rafferty Shannon Louise , Knight Helen
Published: May 2021

The notion of extra pair mating interests is seen as controversial in Western societies where monogamy is the dominant mating system. Attending to attractive others is often seen as an indicator of, or antecedent to engaging in infidelity. However, we argue that attending to attractive others is an adaptive and automatic process because it informs and maintains plasticity in mating strategies. Previous research has examined later attentional processes in relation to potential mates, but not early attentional capture which is beyond conscious control. Participants indicated whether they were predominantly attracted to male or female faces, then completed two flicker tasks, each consisting of faces of the gender the participants indicated they were most attracted to; one consisted of a grid of attractive faces and the other consisted of unattractive faces. Time taken to detect changes to the attractive or unattractive faces was measured as an indication of attentional bias towards potential mates. Sociosexual desires predicted a quicker response time to attractive faces relative to unattractive faces. Relationship status, sex of the participant, sociosexual attitudes, sociosexual behaviours, and self reported sexual and romantic interests outside of the primary relationship did not predict response time on the flicker tasks. The results suggest early attentional processes are biased towards potential mates in a given environment which calibrates and maintains plasticity in mating strategies, however this does not necessarily indicate an inclination towards infidelity.
Districting that minimises partisan bias
Authors: Brick Aaron , Brick Cameron
Published: May 2021

The shapes of electoral districts determine how votes translate into seats. When districts favour certain political parties, electoral results can be disproportionate and the public may lose faith in the political process. Disagreement about appropriate district shapes is subjective, rarely resolved, and often leads to lawsuits. Previously, many authors have called for objective districting criteria. We offer a novel synthesis of models that enables the proactive comparison of district maps, by relating a planar graph partition, the single-member plurality rule, the maximin decision rule, and any agreed measure of partisan bias with a territorial map and historical vote results. Employing historical vote totals avoids the complexity and uncertainty associated with counterfactual models of vote swing. Districting plans could be objectively compared on such criteria as party proportionality or compact shape to reject plans with worse bias. Objective tools to reduce partisan bias in district maps could boost collaborative participation, increase perceptions of fairness and justice, and reduce costs.

Assessing the credibility of research claims is a central, continuous, and laborious part of the scientific process. Credibility assessment strategies range from expert judgment to aggregating existing evidence to systematic replication efforts. Such assessments can require substantial time and effort. Research progress could be accelerated if there were rapid, scalable, accurate credibility indicators to guide attention and resource allocation for further assessment. The SCORE program is creating and validating algorithms to provide confidence scores for research claims at scale. To investigate the viability of scalable tools, teams are creating: a database of claims from papers in the social and behavioral sciences; expert and machine generated estimates of credibility; and, evidence of reproducibility, robustness, and replicability to validate the estimates. Beyond the primary research objective, the data and artifacts generated from this program will be openly shared and provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine research credibility and evidence.
Social disadvantage, economic inequality, and life expectancy in nine Indian states
Authors: Vyas Sangita , Hathi Payal , Gupta Aashish
Published: May 2021

An extensive literature documents the contributions of discrimination and social exclusion to health disparities. This study investigates life expectancy differentials along lines of caste, religion, and indigenous identity in India, home to some of the largest populations of marginalized social groups in the world. Using a large, high-quality survey that measured mortality, social group, and economic status, we estimate and decompose life expectancy differences between higher-caste Hindus, comprising Other Backward Classes and high-caste Hindus, and three of India's most disadvantaged social groups: Adivasis, Dalits, and Muslims. Relative to higher-caste Hindus, Adivasi life expectancy is more than four years lower, Dalit life expectancy is more than three years lower, and Muslim life expectancy is about one year lower. Economic status explains less than half of these gaps. The differences between the life expectancy of higher-caste Hindus and the life expectancies of Adivasis and Dalits are comparable to the Black-White gap in the US in absolute magnitude. The differences are larger in relative terms because overall life expectancy in India is lower. Our findings extend the literature on fundamental causes of global health disparities. Methodologically, we contribute to the literature on mortality estimation and demographic decomposition using survey data from low- and middle-income contexts.

Introduction: Slips, trips and falls (STFs) lead to considerable accidents and injuries with a large financial consequence. In garment industries, occupational accidents and injuries are not uncommon and slips, trips and falls are the major contributory factors. It aimed to find out the contributing factors of slips, trips and falls among the garment workers in Bangladesh.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a garment industry to find out the factors responsible for slips, trips and falls among the workers. The study participants were garment workers with one year of experience, regardless of age and sex.  A total of 208 workers was selected by simple random sampling.  The study was conducted from July 2018 to June 2019.

Results: Among the total 208 respondents, 130 (62.5%) were female and the mean age was 27.49±7.18 years. The majority of the respondents (57.2%) had a primary level of education and had work experience up to five years (71.6%). Of the total respondents, 62 (29.8%) had the experience of slips, trips and falls (STFs) in the last six months. Among them, slips were experienced by 34(16.3%), trips by 43(20.7%) and falls by 40(19.2%) respondents. Poor housekeeping 23(53.6%), mopped wet floor 18(52.9%), slopped and slippery floors 14(35.0%), improper storage 14(32.6%), uneven floor 12(30.0%) and spilling of drinks 9(26.5%) in a higher proportion were responsible for slips, trips and falls. The ergonomic factors which were reported to contribute to slips, trips and falls in a higher proportion were working posture 30(69.8%) and load-bearing 24 (60%). Workplace stress, on the other hand, was found to be the most common 37(92.5%) contributing factor to slips, trips and falls.

Conclusion:   Almost two-thirds of garment workers experienced slips, trips and falls in their workplace. To prevent slips, trips and falls, steps should be taken to reduce the contributing factors, especially the workplace stress among the workers.

This exploration's center target is to comprehend the ramifications of specialized data to improve HR for organizations in Indonesia. Thus, we gathered information from challenged distributions from 2010 to 2021. After the information was gathered, we investigated it with a phenomenological approach so that responses to the examination were gotten with legitimate and reliable standards. Before we can get to the discoveries of the current information, we should comprehend the inquiries; in the information examination measure, we included coding, top to bottom assessment, and summing up the information discoveries. We focus on optional information with a subjective enlightening methodology with as much direction as information from Google students, ERIC distributions, Google Docs, and different sources. Specialists join our investigation manage to check on innovation studies and applications in maternity care social examinations. In light of the information and discoveries, we presume that the associations we contemplated decided to apply and change innovation in birthing assistants to improve HR's dependence on the standards of utility, accommodation, proficiency, and profitability of the actual innovation.
Obstetric Outcomes of Women Who Sustained Traumatic Spinal Injury during Pregnancy: A Systematic Review
Authors: Arsh Aatik , Darain Haider
Published: May 2021

Literature regarding pregnant women who sustained traumatic spinal injury during pregnancy is limited. Existing papers are mainly case reports, and this indicates a need for more high-quality research evidence in this area. Therefore, this study was designed to systematically review available literature that reported demographic information, clinical characteristics, and obstetric outcomes of women who sustained spinal injury during pregnancy. Studies published from the earliest record to January 2019, which reported traumatic spinal injury during pregnancy, were included. Studies that have reported pregnancy in patients with pre-existing spinal injury, review articles, commentaries, letter to editors, conference papers, and studies published in languages other than English were excluded. Sixteen studies reporting on 26 women were included. Their mean age was 26.7±5.5 years. Motor vehicle accidents were the main cause of spinal injury (n=15, 58%). Of the cases, four women sustained spinal injury during the 1st trimester of pregnancy, of which one had a spontaneous abortion, one delivered a baby with arthrogryposis multiplex congenital disorder, and the third one delivered a premature baby who died shortly after the delivery. Fifteen women sustained injury during their 2nd trimester, of which 14 delivered normal babies, while six sustained spinal injury during the 3rd trimester. Of these women, five delivered normal babies at term. Outcomes of pregnancy appear significantly affected if a spinal injury occurs during the 1st trimester of pregnancy; however, injuries sustained during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters can have good obstetric outcomes.

Study Design: A prospective cohort study.Purpose: This study aimed to reveal physical functions and comorbidity affecting collapse at ≥4 weeks after hospital admission of patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture.Overview of Literature: Only a few studies have investigated the influence of physical function and activity on collapse in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.Methods: This prospective cohort study analyzed patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures admitted to the hospital between March 2018 and October 2019. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the predictors of vertebral collapse at >4 weeks after admission. Model 1 used basic medical information and physical functions at admission; model 2 used basic medical information and physical function and activity at >4 weeks after admission.Results: In the model 1 results of logistic regression analysis, cardiovascular disease (odds ratio [OR], 12.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28–117.91) was extracted as a factor affecting vertebral collapse at ≥4 weeks after admission. In the model 2 results of logistic regression analysis, cardiovascular disease (OR, 34.57; 95% CI, 2.53–471.74), movement control during one leg standing at 4 weeks (OR, 7.25; 95% CI, 1.36–38.71), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale score at 4 weeks (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01–1.21) were extracted as factors affecting vertebral collapse at ≥4 weeks after admission.Conclusions: Our results indicate that physical functions and comorbidity affect collapse at ≥4 weeks after admission in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Rasprava Djelovanje potresa na zgrade akademika Andrije Mohorovičića iz 1911. godine i protupotresna analiza građevnih propisa grada Zagreba u razdoblju od 1857. do 1964. godine

Akademik Andrija Mohorovičić (1857. – 1936.), pronalazač MOHO diskontinuiteta Zemljine kore i svjetski poznati istraživač potresa početkom 20. stoljeća, objavio je 1911. godine u profesionalnom i znanstvenom časopisu Vijesti Hrvatskoga društva inžinira i arhitekta raspravu o djelovanju potresa na zgrade, u kojoj je predložio projektiranje i izračun onodobnih konstrukcija otpornih na potres, te ojačanje starijih, već sagrađenih struktura. Ta pionirska rasprava nije utjecala na donošenje posebnih zakonskih propisa o protupotresnoj izgradnji na području grada Zagreba, za razliku od Ljubljane nakon potresa 1895. godine. No rezultati rasprave bili su neizravno implementirani prilikom noveliranja postojećih odredbi Reda građenja koji je bio na snazi od 1857. do 1940. godine, odnosno Građevinskog pravilnika iz 1940. godine, koji je nakon što je 1946. godine formalno proglašen nevažećim, neformalno ostao na snazi za protupotresne odredbe sve do donošenja prvoga jugoslavenskog propisa 1964. godine, nakon razornog potresa u Skopju 1963. godine.
Župna crkva sv. Marije na Dolcu i župna crkva sv. Franje Ksaverskog. Novi prijedlozi za istraživanje korpusa sakralne arhitekture 18. stoljeća u Zagrebu i okolici
Authors: Botica Dubravka
Published: May 2021

Arhitektura Zagreba u razdoblju ranoga novog vijeka tek je djelomično istraživana, a obrađena je samo u pregledima barokne arhitekture i tek su rijetki primjeri iscrpno istraženi. U radu su razmotrene dvije najznačajnije crkve podignute sredinom 18. stoljeća u Zagrebu, župna crkva sv. Marije na Dolcu i nekadašnja isusovačka, danas župna crkva sv. Franje Ksaverskog na Ksaveru. Za crkvu na Dolcu predložena je nova datacija, na temelju podataka u samoj crkvi vidljivih nakon restauracije. Obje crkve tako su građene sredinom stoljeća, povezuje ih i isti naručitelj, a u komparativnoj analizi arhitekture obaju crkava uočavaju se brojna zajednička mjesta, koja se dosad nisu razmatrala. Kao izvorište rješenja zagrebačkih crkava predlaže se vodeći arhitekt u Grazu u tom razdoblju, Josef Hueber. Utjecaj njegove radionice seže čitavim područjem jugoistoka srednje Europe, a u brojnim elementima istaknutima u analizi obaju crkava, posebno u crkvi na Ksaveru, može se prepoznati njegov stil i karakteristični elementi.
»Isječak kružnog vijenca s izbočenjem prema jugu«: Zemljakova škola Rapska
Authors: Žmegač Andrej
Published: May 2021

U radu je riječ o razmjerno slabo poznatoj školi arhitekta Zemljaka iz 1938. godine. Primarno se govori o projektu jer zgrada nije izvedena cjelovito, a recentno je doživjela i različite preinake. Izvorna zamisao vidi se u idejnom projektu, gdje se ističe različit tretman tamnijega učioničkog trakta i bijelo ožbukanoga poprečnog sklopa. Navodi se kako je ova školska zgrada zaobljenom formom u velikome mjerilu glavnoga trakta iznimka u njegovu stvaralaštvu. U prostornoj analizi autor se među ostalime bavi smještajem stubišta koje ima neuobičajen položaj u odnosu na predvorje, ali logično tvori dio učioničkog trakta, povezujući tri etaže. U radu se skreće i pozornost na funkcije koje je škola u ono doba trebala zadovoljiti, a koje su je činile de facto socijalnom ustanovom (kuhinja, kupaonica, liječnik). Također je istaknuta činjenica da je u zgradi škole bilo projektirano i dječje sklonište (obdanište), i to u prizemlju glavnog trakta.
The Path Direction Control System for Lanange Jagad Dance Robot Using the MPU6050 Gyroscope Sensor
Authors: Rifajar Ibnu , Fadlil Abdul
Published: May 2021

The ability to walk straight on a dance robot is very important considering that in competitions, dance robots are required to be able to walk through several zones starting from the starting zone and ending with the closed zone. Therefore, a control system is needed in the Lanange Jagad dance robot so that the robot can control the direction of its walking motion and reduce errors in dance motion while walking on the dance robot. This control system uses a reading value based on the orientation of the rotating motion on the yaw angle axis on the MPU6050 gyroscope sensor which will later be used as a corrector for dance robots when performing various dance movements while walking in the competition arena. From the results of the overall test of the Lanange Jagad dance robot after adding the road direction control system, the percentage of the success rate in the battery power supply condition is 12 volts to 12.6 volts by 100% with the greater the battery power supply, the error in the robot's final angle average to The starting angle of the robot is getting smaller and the percentage of the success rate at the slope of the 0o to 4o race arena is 93.3%. With the tilted race arena, the error in the mean error of the robot's final angle to the starting angle of the robot is also greater, so it can be concluded that the robot can be controlled direction of walking and can walk straight to the finish in the closed zone.
A bubble-enhanced quadrilateral finite element for estimation bearing capacity factors of strip footing
Authors: Thien Vo Minh
Published: May 2021

In this paper, a computational approach using a combination of the upper bound theorem and the bubble-enhanced quadrilateral finite element (FEM-Qi6) is proposed to evaluate bearing capacity factors of strip footing in cohesive-frictional soil. The new element is built based on the quadrilateral element (Q4) by adding a pair of internal nodes to solve the volumetric locking phenomenon. In the upper bound finite element limit analysis, the soil behaviour is described as a perfectly plastic material and obeys associated plastic flow rule following the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The discrete limit analysis problem can be formulated in the form of the well-known second-order cone programming to utilize the interior-point method efficiently. The bearing capacity factors of strip footing and failure mechanisms in both rough and smooth interfaces are obtained directly from solving the optimization problems and presented in design tables and charts for engineers to use. To demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method, the results of bearing capacity factors using FEM-Qi6 were compared with those available in the literature.
