İş bölümünün, Sosyal Politika ve Toplumsal Dayanışma Açısından Sosyolojik Çözümlemesi
Authors: ŞEKER Aziz
Published: March 2020

Sosyal teoride iş bölümü olgusu, Durkheim sosyolojisinin önemli anahtar kavramlarından biridir. Durkheim’e göre modern toplum organik dayanışmanın arttığı, iş bölümüne ve meslekleşmeye dayalı bir toplum modelidir. Küreselleşme süreciyle birlikte yeni kavramsallaştırmalarla tanımlanmaya çalışılan modern sonrası toplumlarda da iş bölümünün önemini ve mesleklerin toplumsal etkileşimdeki işlevlerini korumaya devam ettiğini gözlemlemekteyiz. Durkheim’in temel varsayımına göre, iş bölümünün yaygınlığı bir toplumun gelişmişlik göstergeleri arasında yer alır. Ayrıca iş bölümü toplumsal bütünleşme açısından da önemli bir yöne sahiptir. Bu anlamda toplumsal dayanışmaya ve bütünleşmeye katkı veren iş bölümünün, sosyal politikanın gelişimine ve toplumsal korumaya olumlu yansıdığını söyleyebiliriz. Bu çalışma, Durkheim’in iş bölümüne atfettiği özelliklerden yola çıkarak; sosyal politika ile sosyal dayanışma açısından iş bölümünün sosyolojik işlevi ve önemini irdelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmanın iş bölümü ve sosyal politika arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak açısından yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Bu araştırmada, Kocaeli Halk Eğitim Merkezi’nde eğitmen olarak çalışmakta olan bireylerin rekreatif etkinliklere katılımlarına engel olan faktörlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada betimsel tarama modelinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya, Kocaeli Halk Eğitim Merkezi’nde hem sözleşmeli hem de kadrolu olarak çalışmakta olan 147’si kadın 57’si erkek olmak üzere toplam 204 eğitmen gönüllü olarak katılım sağlamıştır. Alexandris ve Carroll (1997) tarafından geliştirilen, Türkçe uyarlaması, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması Karaküçük ve Gürbüz (2006) tarafından yapılan “Boş Zaman Engelleri” ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ölçek, toplam 6 alt boyut ve 27 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada kullanılan boş zaman engelleri ölçeğinden elde edilen verilerin frekans ve yüzde değerleri alındıktan sonra parametrik testlerden bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve ANOVA testi uygulanmıştır. Anlam düzeyi 0.05 olarak alınmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, halk eğitim merkezinde çalışan eğitmenlerin rekreatif etkinliklere katılımını etkileyen faktörlerde ölçeğin alt boyutları incelendiğinde ortalamalarının orta düzeye yakın, ancak yüksek olduğu ve boş zaman engellerine maruz kalındığı görülmektedir. Ölçekten elde edilen puan ortalamalarının en yüksek ortalaması tesis yetersizliği boyutunda görülürken en düşük ortalama arkadaş eksikliği boyutunda görülmüştür.

Published: March 2020

A teoria da relação com o saber possibilita-nos interpretar as intersubjetividades e suas implicações sociais, identitárias e epistemológicas. Charlot (2000) posiciona o sujeito social no centro das discussões dos processos educativos de modo crítico e situado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar como a teoria da relação com o saber vem sendo compreendida em artigos publicados na área de educação física escolar. Revisamos sistematicamente o periódico que apresentou a maior incidência de publicações sobre a teoria da relação com o saber entre 2000 e 2018. Nesse intervalo, encontramos seis artigos que descreveram contextos, modos e razões de apropriação dessa teoria na educação física, bem como conceitos de mobilização, sentido e atividade, além da caracterização das figuras do aprender. As temáticas destacam a percepção dos saberes dos (as) estudantes nos cursos de formação inicial, os saberes dos (as) alunos (as) relacionados às lutas e aos processos avaliativos, os sentidos atribuídos ao futebol e a relação com o saber na cultura infantil. Contudo, há dificuldade em diferenciar as figuras do aprender de modo complexo na perspectiva dos (as) alunos (as), refletindo na associação das temáticas com os saberes docentes. Consideramos que o campo de investigação da educação física escolar tem o desafio de potencializar e dinamizar as figuras do aprender, a fim de ampliar e aprofundar os entendimentos dos saberes-objetos, objetos-saberes, saberes-domínio e dispositivos relacionais que constituem os elementos da teoria.Palavras-chave: Ensinar e aprender.

During the 2019 election campaign in Ukraine, one of the candidates successfully used the serial and political show.

 

The purpose of the article is to describe the use of the serial and political show in the election campaign, to find out the reasons for the successful use of these new forms of political media communication.

The study applied the method of social and psychological justification of electoral behavior under the influence of non-traditional forms of political media communication. The theoretical basis of the study is the theories of cognitive dissonance and cognitive congruence, social perception and causal attribution, as well as the socio-communication model of the «spiral of silence».

It is established that the success of the serial and political show in the election campaign is due to a number of factors: the presence of social expectations in society, a paradigm shift, social cognitive dissonance. It is found out that with the help of the TV serial the image of V. Zelensky as a successful and democratic president was formed in the voters’ minds, as well as the idea of a majority opinion was artificially created. With the help of a political show in which V. Zelensky acted as president and other political figures, the audience was convinced that his election victory was irreversible. He has become a well-known person among the population thanks to the popular serials and films that are broadcast on the television channel, which is the leader among the population in ratings and trust. This data confirms the long-term impact of television and impact of media linked to political parties on the election results. The results of the article can be used in planning political campaigns and in further studies of the influence of the media on voter behavior.

This study elucidates the main communication issues that arise from audiences’ interaction with three-dimensional animation of different types in augmented reality, as well as identifies the major 3D animations’ varieties used by brands to create AR and MR promotional campaigns.

The results of the study are based, in particular, on the analysis of AR cases of 27 commercial and social brands that used 3D animation for promotional purposes in 2010–2019.

It is ascertained that in the promotional practice there is used 3D predefined animation of a cartoon type, as well as 3D predefined and procedural non-homomorphic photorealistic animation. At the same time, three-dimensional procedural animation of cartoon type, as well as photorealistic animation of people (either predefined or procedural), was not used by any of the studied brands for the purpose of promotion.

The research revealed that in the field of promotion three-dimensional photorealistic animation of people, primarily of procedural type, is not used because it creates the majority of communication problems in the interaction of the audience with it. Real people’s displeasure with the animated ones arises, first of all, because of the “uncanny valley effect”, which is caused, in particular, by the technical difficulties with 3D rendering of human emotions and body language in real-time (including proxemics in a virtual environment); visual tracking of human movements by animated character; the naturalness and synchronicity of the language (above all, the content of the cues) and the sound of the voice of three-dimensional persons (its timbre, rhythmics, emotionality).

In general, today from a technical point of view photorealistic non-homomorphic animation is the most advanced 3D animation type, which explains the popularity of its use in the practice of promotional communications. Its predefined variety is most commonly used by automotive brands to create AR-campaigns, whereas procedural one is used in creating MR-campaigns, mainly for cosmetic and interior brands.

The predefined 3D animation of cartoon type was used to promote those commercial brands, which final consumers were, above all, children. However, some companies have used this kind of animation to create AR-based adult promotional events held in conjunction with the holiday and symbolic dates. The popularity of the use of 3D animation of cartoon type in the field of promotion is explained, first of all, by the fact that people at a subconscious level have a positive attitude towards cartoon characters as such.

Broadcast relieve some periods of improvement, evolution and development, based on it’s features. One of the progress’ reason is technology development connected with radio. The end of last century and twenty years of current one characterise by universalism and convergence, that let media, beyond broadcast, had got the characteristics it never had before: watch the radio, fast connection between audience representers, communication with station’s journalists.

It made some influence and changes on the principles of formatting and functioning journalists professions at the radio. First, media concerns started to appeared, which have some stations in their structure, that have same top managers, almost similar department, close principles of airing. Second, Internet-stations let their audience the possibility to observe the air.

During the research, we defined, the administration of TAVR Media has the managers on each direction: manager of radio group, financial manager, commercial one (responsible for the sale), marketing director, (pr and image), general producer (manage musician direction), the station’s director.

Today, station has to work in active way and communicate with their audience, using messengers, profiles in social media. As a result, radio stations have in their arsenal person or group of persons which responsible for that activity. For example, web-radio SKOVORODA has a man, who manage
 IT-work. Main duties of him: work with social medias, site content, deal with e-mail. Station’s of TAVR Media group (Melodiya FM, Relax, Radio Rocks, Russkoye Radio v Ukrayini, KISS FM, ХІТ FM) also have representers of modern professions: the head of digital department, traffic manager, system admin, etc.

Loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) is one of the most common somatic genomic alterations in hematopoietic cells in men. However, due to the high prevalence of LOY as the sole cytogenetic finding in the healthy older population, differentiating isolated LOY associated with clonal hematologic processes from aging-associated mosaicism can be difficult in the absence of definitive morphological features of disease. In the past, various investigators have proposed that a high percentage of metaphases with LOY is more likely to represent expansion of a clonal myeloid disease-associated population. It is unknown whether the proportion of metaphases with LOY is associated with the incidence of myeloid neoplasia-associated genomic alterations. To address this question, we identified marrow samples with LOY as isolated cytogenetic finding and used targeted next generation sequencing-based molecular analysis to identify common myeloid neoplasia-associated somatic mutations. Among 73 patients with median age of 75 years (range 29-90), the percentage of metaphases with LOY was <25% in 23 patients, 25-49% in 10, 50-74% in 8 and ≥75% in 32. A threshold of ≥75% LOY was significantly associated with morphologic diagnosis of myeloid neoplasm (p = 0.004). Further, ≥75% LOY was associated with a higher lifetime incidence of diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS; p < 0.0001), and in multivariate analysis ≥75% LOY was a statistically significant independent predictor of myeloid neoplasia [OR 6.17; 95% CI = 2.15-17.68; p = 0.0007]. Higher LOY percentage (≥75%) was associated with greater likelihood of having somatic mutations (p = 0.0009) and a higher number of these mutations (p = 0.0002). Our findings indicate that ≥75% LOY in marrow is associated with increased likelihood of molecular alterations in genes commonly seen in myeloid neoplasia and with morphologic features of MDS. These observations suggest that ≥75% LOY in bone marrow should be considered an MDS-associated cytogenetic aberration.

The metal coating industry produces waste water containing chromium metal in concentrations large enough so that it will be dangerous if disposed of directly without being processed first. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of peanut shell activation, biosorbent weight, and contact time for chromium metal removal. Then peanut shells are activated using H2SO4 0.05 M. Furthermore, peanut shells used as biosorbents are weighed as much as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% of the weight of industrial liquid waste that has been determined. Then the stirring process is carried out with a speed of 150 rpm with a contact time of 30, 60 and 90 minutes. After that the mixture is filtered and the total chrome metal is analyzed. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that biosorbents from acid-activated peanut peels can reduce chrome metal by 62.23% while biosorbents without activation are able to reduce chrome metal by 42.92%. The best results of biosorbent on chromium removal were obtained on the addition of biosorbent weight of 5: 100 at a contact time of 60 minutes with a stirring speed of 150 rpm which was 83.38%.ABSTRAKIndustri pelapisan logam menghasilkan limbah cair yang mengandung logam krom dalam konsentrasi yang cukup besar sehingga akan berbahaya jika dibuang langsung tanpa diolah terlebih dahulu.

Design of flood discharge becomes an important parameter in water building design planning. When analyzing the design of flood discharge, re-selection is crucial because it will determine the magnitude of the design flood discharge. Election times are adjusted to the characteristics of the Watershed (DAS). The location of the Sand Pocket plan is in Woro river, Klaten, Central Java. The unavailability of design flood discharge data at the observation site resulted in the design flood discharge analysis being carried out. This study focuses on comparing the magnitude of flood designs from different times, namely Q5th, Q10th, Q25th, Q50th, and Q100th. After the flood discharge is obtained then it is used to calculate the dimensions of the Sand Pocket building. Each time that is used to calculate dimensions produces different dimensions in the building. The dimensions of the building that are affected in Main Dam and Sub Dam are effective height, upstream slope (m), flow height above the Main Dam, guard height, foundation depth, and the base width of the Main Dam and Sub Dam. In the appron is the length of the floor and the thickness of the appron floor. Then the last is the upstream side of the Main Dam wing. The selection of re-ordering determines the amount of discharge that will be generated and also affects the dimensions of the Sand Pocket that will be planned.ABSTRAKDebit banjir rancangan menjadi parameter penting dalam perencanaan desain bangunan air. Saat analisis debit banjir rancangan, pemilihan kala ulang menjadi hal yang krusial karena akan menentukan besarnya debit banjir rancangan.

Tidak tersedianya data debit banjir rancangan pada lokasi pengamatan mengakibatkan analisis debit banjir rancangan ini dilakukan. Penelitian ini berfokus untuk membandingkan besaran debit banjir banjir rancangan dari kala ulang yang berbeda yaitu Q5th, Q10th, Q25th, Q50th, dan Q100th. Setelah debit banjir didapatkan kemudian digunakan untuk menghitung dimensi bangunan Sand Pocket. Setiap kala ulang yang digunakan untuk menghitung dimensi menghasilkan dimensi bangunan yang berbeda di beberapa bagian. Bagian dimensi bangunan yang terpengaruh pada Main Dam dan Sub Dam adalah tinggi efektif, kemiringan hulu (m), tinggi aliran di atas mercu, tinggi jagaan, kedalaman pondasi, dan lebar dasar Main Dam dan Sub Dam. Pada kolam olak adalah panjang lantai dan tebal lantai kolam. Kemudian yang terakhir adalah kemiringan sisi hulu sayap Main Dam. Pemilihan kala ulang menentukan besaran debit yang akan dihasilkan dan berpengaruh pula terhadap dimensi Sand Pocket yang akan direncakanan.
Unmet needs of chronic hepatitis C in the era of direct-acting antiviral therapy
Authors: Huang Chung-Feng , Yu Ming-Lung
Published: March 2020

The treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has been revolutionized in an era of all-oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) since 2014. Satisfactory treatment efficacy and tolerability can be provided by novel DAAs. Nevertheless, there are still some unmet needs and emerging issues in the treatment of CHC in the DAA era. Certain hard-to-cure populations are prone to have inferior treatment responses, including patients with severe liver decompensation, active hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3 (HCV-3) infection and those who experience multiple DAA treatment failures. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation during and after DAA treatment has raised concern regarding the use of prophylactic antivirals against HBV throughout DAA treatment. However, the standard strategy for the use of prophylactic antivirals is not uniform across regional guidelines. In the post-sustained virological response (SVR) period, HCC still occurs in a substantial proportion of patients. Due to the relatively short follow-up period, the net benefit of the achievement of an SVR by DAAs in the reduction of extrahepatic manifestations has not yet been determined. Attention must also be paid to HCV reinfection, particularly in high-risk populations. The most critical and unmet need for HCV elimination is the large gap in the HCV care cascade at the population level. To accomplish the World Health Organization (WHO)’s goal for HCV elimination by 2030, the expansion of access to HCV care requires a continuous effort to overcome practical and political challenges.

Aircraft Mode S Transponder Fingerprinting for Intrusion Detection
Authors: Leonardi Mauro , Gerardi Fabrizio
Published: March 2020

Nowadays, aircraft safety is based on different systems and four of them share the same data-link protocol: Secondary Surveillance Radar, Automatic Dependent Surveillance System, Traffic Collision Avoidance System, and Traffic Information System use the Mode S protocol to send and receive information. This protocol does not provide any kind of authentication, making some of these applications vulnerable to cyberattacks. In this paper, an intrusion detection mechanism based on transmitter Radio Frequency (RF) fingerprinting is proposed to distinguish between legitimate messages and fake ones. The proposed transmitter signature is described and an intrusion detection algorithm is developed and evaluated in case of different intrusion configurations, also with the use of real recorded data. The results show that it is possible to detect the presence of fake messages with a high probability of detection and very low probability of false alarm.
Chilling and Heat Requirements of Temperate Stone Fruit Trees (Prunus sp.)
Authors: Fadón Erica , Herrera Sara , Guerrero Brenda , Guerra M. , Rodrigo Javier
Published: March 2020

Stone fruit trees of genus Prunus, like other temperate woody species, need to accumulate a cultivar-specific amount of chilling during endodormancy, and of heat during ecodormancy to flower properly in spring. Knowing the requirements of a cultivar can be critical in determining if it can be adapted to a particular area. Growers can use this information to anticipate the future performance of their orchards and the adaptation of new cultivars to their region. In this work, the available information on chilling- and heat-requirements of almond, apricot, plum, peach, and sweet cherry cultivars is reviewed. We pay special attention to the method used for the determination of breaking dormancy, the method used to quantify chilling and heat temperatures, and the place where experiments were conducted. The results reveal different gaps in the information available, both in the lack of information of cultivars with unknown requirements and in the methodologies used. The main emerging challenges are the standardization of the conditions of each methodology and the search for biological markers for dormancy. These will help to deal with the growing number of new cultivars and the reduction of winter cold in many areas due to global warming.

Published: March 2020

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is associated with great uptake of soil macronutrients. Following the need to understand the macronutrients levels before and after tobacco cultivation, research was conducted in loamy sand soil of Sikonge, Urambo, and sand soil of Tabora, Tanzania. The initial macronutrients levels in the soil were compared with those measured after unfertilized and fertilized tobacco. Results showed that unfertilized tobacco plant influences the increase of nicotine to the rhizosphere, the macronutrients Ca (135%) > N (25%), decrease in the order of S (81%) > P (49%) > Mg (12%) > K (11%). The sole effect of nitrogen–phosphorus–potassium (NPK) and calcium–ammonium–nitrate (CAN) 27% fertilizers increased further nicotine, Ca (25%) > N (20%) > S (8%) > Mg (4%) > P (3%), and decreased K (3%) in the rhizosphere. Both tobacco plant and NPK + CAN fertilizers on the rhizosphere increased Ca (193%) > N (50%) and decreased S (80%) > P (48%) > K (14%) > Mg (8%). Leaf concentrations in fertilized tobacco increased Ca (197%) > K (28%) > P (27%) > S (26%) > N (18%) > Mg (12%). Therefore, tobacco plant increases soil N and Ca but decreases P, K, Mg, and S.

Bama minipigs are a local pig breed that is unique to China and has a high development and utilization value. However, its high fat content, low feed utilization rate, and slow growth rate have limited its popularity and utilization. Compared with the long breeding cycle and high cost of traditional genetic breeding of pigs, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) endonuclease 9 system (CRISPR/Cas9)-mediated gene editing can cost-effectively implement targeted mutations in animal genomes, thereby providing a powerful tool for rapid improvement of the economic traits of Bama minipigs. The iroquois homeobox 3 (IRX3) gene has been implicated in human obesity. Mouse experiments have shown that knocking out IRX3 significantly enhances basal metabolism, reduces fat content, and controls body mass and composition. This study aimed to knock out IRX3 using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing method to breed Bama minipigs with significantly reduced fat content. First, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing method was used to efficiently obtain IRX3-/- cells. Then, the gene-edited cells were used as donor cells to produce surviving IRX3-/- Bama minipigs using somatic cell cloning. The results show that the use of IRX3-/- cells as donor cells for the production of somatic cell-cloned pigs results in a significant decrease in the average live litter size and a significant increase in the average number of stillbirths. Moreover, the birth weight of surviving IRX3-/- somatic cell-cloned pigs is significantly lower, and viability is poor such that all piglets die shortly after birth. Therefore, the preliminary results of this study suggest that IRX3 may have important biological functions in pigs, and IRX3 should not be used as a gene editing target to reduce fat content in Bama minipigs. Moreover, this study shows that knocking out IRX3 does not favor the survival of pigs, and whether targeted regulation of IRX3 in the treatment of human obesity will also induce severe adverse consequences requires further investigation.

Joint pain and osteoarthritis (OA) are some of the most common causes of lameness in horses, and most of the available treatments focus on symptomatic relief without a disease-modifying effect. TRPV1 is a potential target for treating joint diseases, including OA, and the present study aims to investigate if the TRPV1 receptor is present in equine articular tissue and determine whether the number of receptors is upregulated in joint inflammation. Metacarpo/metatarsophalangeal (MCP/MTP) joints from 15 horses euthanised for reasons unrelated to this study were included. Based on synovial fluid analysis, macroscopic evaluation, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), joints were divided into two groups: healthy joints and joints with pathology. ELISA analysis was performed on synovial tissue harvested from all joints. TPRV1 was found in all joints. The mean concentration of TRPV1 compared to total protein in healthy joints (8.4 × 10−7 ng/mL) and joints with pathology (12.9 × 10−7 ng/mL) differed significantly (p = 0.01, t-test with Welch correction). Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR analysis was performed on RNA isolates from synovial tissue from all joints. TRPV1 mRNA expression ratio normalized to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in healthy joints (0.16 (SD: 0.19)) and joints with pathology (0.24 (SD: 0.14)) did not differ significantly (p = 0.43, t-test with Welch correction). mRNA expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) was very low for both groups. In conclusion, TRPV1 was detected both on mRNA and the protein level, with a higher expression of TRPV1 in samples from joints with pathology. Future studies will determine the clinical potential of equine TRPV1 as a target in the management of joint pain and inflammation.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with compound probiotics and berberine (CPB) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and fecal microflora in weaned piglets. A total of 200 piglets 35 days old were randomly allocated to 5 groups, 4 replications in each group, and 10 piglets in each replication. Group A was the basal diet; group B was supplemented with antibiotics and zinc oxide; groups C, D and E were supplemented with 0.06%, 0.12% and 0.18% CPB, respectively. The experimental period was 42 d. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion rate (FCR) among five groups (p > 0.05). However, mortality, diarrhea and rejection rates in the control group were higher than that in other groups. CPB could increase protein digestibility and serum IgG content (p < 0.05), while it could decrease serum urea nitrogen content and alkaline phosphatase activity (p < 0.05). Analysis of fecal microbiota showed that the relative abundances of Bacteroides and Firmicutes were increased, while the relative abundances of opportunistic pathogens such as Spirochaetae and Protebactreria were dramatically decreased in piglets fed with CPB or antibiotics, compared with the control group. Furthermore, CPB intervention increased the relative abundances of Prevotella_9, Megasphaera and Prevotella_2, while decreased the relative abundance of Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group. Correlation analysis revealed that there was good correlation between serum indexes and fecal microbiota. It was suggested that CPB might be a promising antibiotic alternative for improving piglet health and immunity, decreasing mortality by positively altering gut microbiota.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the use of chickpea meal in substitution of soybean meal on plasma metabolites, reproductive response, milk yield and composition and milk coagulation traits of primiparous buffaloes in early lactation. Eighteen primiparous buffaloes were blocked by age, body weight and days in milk and equally allotted to two experimental groups from 10 to 100 days of lactation. The experimental diets consisted of the same forage integrated with two different isonitrogenous and isoenergetic concentrates containing either 210 g/kg of soybean meal or 371 g/kg chickpea. The use of chickpea meal had no negative effects on dry matter intake (p = 0.69), body condition score (p = 0.33) and milk yield (p = 0.15). Neither milk composition nor blood metabolites were influenced by dietary treatments (p > 0.05), but an increment of urea concentrations in milk (p < 0.05) and blood plasma (p < 0.001) were observed in buffaloes fed chickpeas. Moreover, no effect (p > 0.05) of the dietary treatment was highlighted on milk coagulation traits as well as buffalo reproductive responses. We concluded that soybean meal can be replaced by chickpea meal in the diet for primiparous dairy buffaloes in the early lactation period without impairing their productive and reproductive performance.

The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is mainly used in the development and exploration of the ocean. As an important module of the AUV, the actuator plays an important role in the normal execution of the AUV. Therefore, the fault diagnosis of the actuator is particularly important. At present, the research on the strong faults, such as the winding of the actuator, has achieved good results, but the research on the weak fault diagnosis is relatively rare. In this paper, the tri-stable stochastic resonance model is analyzed, and the ant colony tri-stable stochastic resonance model is used to diagnose the weak fault. The system accurately diagnoses the fault of the actuator collision and verifies the adaptive tri-stable stochastic resonance system. This model has better diagnostic results than the bi-stable stochastic resonance system.
Bearing Fault Diagnosis Using Grad-CAM and Acoustic Emission Signals
Authors: Kim JaeYoung , Kim Jong-Myon
Published: March 2020

Bearing failure generates impulses when the rolling elements pass the cracked surface of the bearing. Over the past decade, acoustic emission (AE) techniques have been used to detect bearing failures operated in low-rotating speeds. However, since the high sampling rates of the AE signals make it difficult to design and extract discriminative fault features, deep neural network-based approaches have been proposed in several recent studies. This paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based bearing fault diagnosis technique. In this work, the normalized bearing characteristic component (NBCC) is used as the input of CNN, which is an effective form of representing bearing failure symptoms. In addition, importance-weight is extracted using gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) for visual explanation of CNN. In the experiment result, the proposed approach achieves high classification accuracy with reasonable visualization, which shows that CNN successfully learned the components of bearing characteristic frequency for each type of bearing failure.

Composite materials reinforced with recycled fibers gather a great deal of interest with regards to construction applications. A novel polymer concrete composite was proposed, comprised of a surface layer and a structural composite reinforced with recycled glass fibers. The novel multi-material composite included a large amount of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) waste (30%), which is expected to help protect the environment. Large panels comprised of this polymer concrete composite, which reproduce the appearance of natural stone, were manufactured. A new methodology for porosity analysis of a large panel comprised of a multi-material composite was proposed, utilizing three-dimensional (3D) X-ray computed tomography (CT). The volume of pores was distributed between the constituent composite materials and then statistically analyzed. Homogeneous distribution of the pores within the novel multi-material composite was found. The observed mean porosities of the composite panel were 0.146% for the surface layer material and 31.3% for the structural composite material. The mean density of the panel, determined by the CT density method, was 1.73 g/cm3. The composite materials porosity provides a favorable effect for achieving lightweight structures. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, it was observed that a good connection interface between the constituent composite materials existed.

Mine tailings (MT) could represent a step forward in terms of the quality of the aggregates usually used in civil engineering applications, mostly due to its high density. The Portuguese Neves Corvo copper mine, owned by the Lundin Mining Corporation, produces approximately 3 million tonnes per year. Nevertheless, it cannot be used in its original state, due to its high levels of sulphur and other metals (As, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn). This paper focuses on the stabilisation/solidification of high-sulphur MT, without any previous thermal treatment, using alkali-activated fly ash (FA). The variables considered were the MT/FA ratio and the activator type and concentration. A fine aggregate was then added to the pastes to assess the quality of the resulting mortar. Maximum compressive strengths of 14 MPa and 24 MPa were obtained for the pastes and mortars, respectively, after curing for 24 h at 85 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the reaction products, and two types of leaching tests were performed to assess the environmental performance. The results showed that the strength increase is related with the formation of a N-A-S-H gel, although sodium sulphate carbonate was also developed, suggesting that the total sodium intake could be optimized without strength loss. The solubility of the analysed metals in the paste with 78% MT and 22% FA was below the threshold for non-hazardous waste.
On the Use of Linear and Nonlinear Controls for Mechanical Systems Subjected to Friction-Induced Vibration
Authors: Chomette Baptiste , Sinou Jean-Jacques
Published: March 2020

Friction-Induced Vibration and noisE (FIVE) is still a complex and nonlinear physical phenomenon which is characterized by the appearance of instabilities and self-sustained vibrations. This undesirable vibrational phenomenon is encountered in numerous industrial applications and can cause major failures for mechanical systems. One possibility to limit this vibration phenomenon due to the appearance of instabilities is to add a controller on the system. This study proposes to discuss the efficiency but also limitations of an active control design based on full linearization feedback. In order to achieve this goal, a complete study is performed on a phenomenological mechanical system subjected to mono or multi-instabilities in the presence of friction. Transient and self-excited vibrations of the uncontrolled and controlled systems are compared. More specifically, contributions of linear and nonlinear parts in the control vector for different values of friction coefficient are investigated and the influence of the control gain and sensitivity of the controller to the signal-to-noise ratio are undertaken.
