ОСОБЕННОСТИ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ ПОТРЕБНОСТЕЙ ПАЦИЕНТОВ С ШИЗОФРЕНИЕЙ И ЧЛЕНОВ ИХ СЕМЕЙ В КОНТЕКСТЕ БИОПСИХОСОЦИАЛЬНОГО ПОДХОДА
Authors: Джамиля Исмаилова, Билал Асадов Джамиля Исмаилова, Билал Асадов
Published: June 2022

Шизофрения является тяжелой хронической психической болезнью, которой страдают более 21 миллиона человек во всем мире [1]. Согласно биопсихосоциальной модели, пациенты с шизофренией имеют целый комплекс физических, психологических, межличностных и социальных потребностей. Слово «потребность» в данном случае означает необходимость в чем-то важном [2]. Концепция потребностей в психическом здоровье объединяет в себе как клинические параметры – диагноз, степень тяжести симптомов, длительность заболевания, выраженность функциональной дезадаптации, так и психосоциальную помощь, в которой нуждаются пациенты [3]. Больные шизофренией имеют меньше возможностей получать образование, овладевать профессией, содержать семью и развивать другие важные навыки, необходимые для самостоятельной жизни [4, 5]. Люди, страдающие шизофренией, гораздо чаще становятся безработными, чем люди с физическими нарушениями [6]. Отсутствие работы ухудшает материальное положение больных шизофренией, делая их неспособными платить за необходимые товары и услуги, что обуславливает быстрое движение вниз по социальной лестнице в сторону нищеты [7, 8, 9]. Несомненно, болезнь сказывается не только на пациенте, но и на его близких. Члены семьи пациентов с шизофренией также подвергаются стигме, дискриминации как и сами пациенты. Кроме этого, они имеют огромное количество как материальных потребностей, связанных с затратами на лечение, реабилитацию, так и психологические потребности: навыки справляться с болезнью, дистресс, вызыванный длительным уходом за больным и тд.

Authors: Zenfira Huseynli, Kamran Fatalizade Zenfira Huseynli, Kamran Fatalizade
Published: June 2022

The article considers the general shortcomings of packers designed for carrying out geological and technical measures in an open hole. These packer deficiencies can cause problems in the operation of wells, which leads to an increase in non-productive time or even to the loss of a well and, as a result, leads to high costs for oil and gas companies. The design of sliding support elements, centering the structure in the open hole, preventing leakage of the sealing rubber element due to the occurrence of a pressure drop, and subsequently ensuring a reliable packer break, has been studied.
Key words: hydromechanical packer, wellbore, sealing element, the packer unit.

Climate Change: Policy Support for National Adaptation Plans in Sub-Saharan African
Authors: Adetuyi Ayodele M. , David Abayomi B. , Adebowale Adesola
Published: June 2022

The global climate has experienced tremendous change, notably since the industrial revolution. Beginning from 1880 all through to 2012, the average global temperature increased by 0.85°C. This subtle increase primarily from anthropogenic contribution has had devastating effects on crop (grains) yields. Specifically, between 1981 and 2002, major crops like wheat, and maize, among others, have suffered substantial yield declines of about forty megatons annually, due to a hotter atmosphere. With the oceans equally warming faster and snow and ice sheets on a dramatic decrease, global average sea levels climbed by 19 cm from 1901 to 2010. While climate change is a global phenomenon with varying degrees of consequential implications for different world regions, Africa South of the Sahara with a negligible contribution to global warming has seen a few of the worst impacts of climate change in recent years. Temperatures in Africa have risen by at least 0.5°C in the last 50 to 100 years. As IPPC 5th Assessment concluded, Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change (Lisa 2020). Of about 2.1 billion people in the world that require access to drinking and safe water services that are well-managed, more than eleven million of this population live in Madagascar (World Health Organisation (WHO) 2017/Liberty supports WaterAid 2015). However, the precarious state of the global climate calls for serious and well-coordinated action from state and multilateral actors with the capacity to help the world’s poorest, specifically in Africa, to either mitigate or develop credible adaptation measures. This paper, therefore, provides a comprehensive literature review on UNDP Climate Change Adaptation policies for “Supporting Developing Countries to Advance National Adaptation Plans (NAPs)”, using Sub-Saharan Africa as a case study. The findings of the review suggest the adoption of an evidence-based policymaking approach as a way of influencing the adoption of NAPs by developing countries.

Food security is an important indicator of the people’s well-being and the national security. This research focuses on the investigation of food security in the communities of eastern special development zone, Saensuk municipality, Chonburi Province, Thailand. By random sampling of 397 participants, the data are analyzed using IBM SPSS and service area analysis using ArcGIS program to evaluate food security status in the areas. The results show the communities investigated have access to food service areas at 4 levels: 1) the nearest distance, 6,812 households; 2) medium distance, 3,241 households; 3) quite far, 2,202 households; and 4) the farthest distance, 3,088 households. In terms of the assessment of food security status, it reveals that they gain a high average score (2.48). Although the food accessibility of the communities has been at a good level, Saensuk municipality should have a plan to prevent risks that may arise from unforeseen events, both from natural disasters and economic conditions that may affect their food security in the future, as well as establishing a learning center, providing knowledge of fisheries to the community members in order to strengthen the community’s sustainable economy.

In this article, we propose a new approach to the development of measures to reduce the negative impact of pollutant emissions from stationary sources. For the first time, a systematic approach was applied to the development of measures to reduce the negative impact of emissions into the atmosphere for a large city in the Baikal Natural Territory (a case study of Ulan-Ude). The use of a systematic approach helped us to achieve the following outcomes: to develop a geographic information system with sources of emissions into the air of Ulan-Ude (GIS “Air of Ulan-Ude”); to identify natural factors of atmospheric air pollution in Ulan-Ude; to develop registers of stationary sources of emissions; to assess the impact of air pollution on public health; to carry out a sociological survey using questionnaires; to propose suitable technical solutions to reduce the emissions. The research methodology involved the concept of sustainable development, in terms of preserving living conditions for future generations of mankind. The institutional approach was also used to study the environmental situation from the perspective of the interaction of social institutions. A sociological study of private households in the context of financial and environmental aspects of heat supply for different types of heating systems led us to the conclusion that the problem of pollutant emissions by households is related to the standard of living and the availability of green fuel. The following measures were proposed to improve the quality of atmospheric air. The functional zoning of residential areas for industrial and housing development should take into account climatic, natural, and technogenic factors affecting the redistribution of pollutants in the surface layer of the atmosphere. The authorities should assist in connecting residential buildings to central heating. State support for the transition to clean fuels (gas, electricity, smokeless fuel, etc.) through subsidies, partial compensations, and other incentive programs. State support for the development of small-scale power generation and alternative energy; raising public awareness of the need to reduce emissions into the atmosphere.

Published: June 2022

This work aims to examine the relationship between tourism activities and house prices (HP) in first-tier cities (i.e., Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou) of China using a quantile-on-quantile approach. This approach provides an ideal framework with which to capture the overall dependence structure between tourism activities and HP. The empirical results show that there is a positive and negative relationship between tourism and HP for the first-tier cities considered, with substantial variations across cities and across quantiles within each city. Important city-specific policy implications may be drawn from these findings.
Ancestral Homeland Attachment
Authors: Proyrungroj Raweewan
Published: June 2022

This study examined how ancestral homeland journeys affected a sense of attachment to Thailand among first- and second-generation Thai diasporas residing in Western countries as well as how these two generations differed in their place attachment. The four dimensions of place attachment (place identity, place dependence, social bonding, and affective attachment) were used as a framework for the investigation. A qualitative research approach was adopted in this study. Twenty-two Thai migrants currently living in Western countries who had visited Thailand were interviewed. The findings showed that diaspora tourism experiences helped these migrants reflect upon their sense of belonging to their ancestral homeland, leading them to feel more connected to the country. The first-generation tourists demonstrated a higher level of place attachment to Thailand than the second generation in all four dimensions of place attachment.

On the sum of the largest $ A_{\alpha} $-eigenvalues of graphs
Authors: Lin Zhen
Published: June 2022

Let $ A(G) $ and $ D(G) $ be the adjacency matrix and the degree diagonal matrix of a graph $ G $, respectively. For any real number $ \alpha \in[0, 1] $, Nikiforov defined the $ A_{\alpha} $-matrix of a graph $ G $ as $ A_{\alpha}(G) = \alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G) $. Let $ S_k(A_{\alpha}(G)) $ be the sum of the $ k $ largest eigenvalues of $ A_{\alpha}(G) $. In this paper, some bounds on $ S_k(A_{\alpha}(G)) $ are obtained, which not only extends the results of the sum of the $ k $ largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and signless Laplacian matrix, but it also gives new bounds on graph energy.

Tanto la Agenda 2030 de la ONU como la Directiva 2014/95/UE han impulsado la divulgación de información sobre indicadores no financieros y la hacen obligatoria para todas las empresas y entidades de interés público (EIP). Por tanto, las empresas de los índices bursátiles europeos deben comunicar la información reconocida con las siglas ESG, la medioambiental (Environmental), la social (Social) y la de Gobernanza (Governance). Además, las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) permiten la divulgación de dicha información a través de las webs y su comunicación a los stakeholders. A partir de esta premisa, esta investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar la divulgación web de la información no financiera por parte de las empresas de cuatro índices bursátiles europeos (IBEX35, AEX25, DAX30 y CAC40) por medio de un estudio exploratorio, descriptivo y analítico de la información ESG y mediante un análisis de cumplimiento normativo. Los resultados revelan la existencia de una información dispersa, incompleta, divulgada en medidas heterogéneas y con importantes diferencias entre las empresas europeas en cuanto a la divulgación en los sitios web, así como en el posible margen para mejorarla y las limitaciones en cuanto al alcance de verificabilidad de la ESG.
Effects of sediment organic matter on mortality, growth and development of the polychaetes Capitella teleta and Capitella sp. (Annelida: Capitellidae) in laboratory conditions
Authors: Méndez Nuria
Published: June 2022

The endobenthic deposit-feeder polychaetes of the Capitella capitata species complex have a strong relation with organically enriched sediments (OES). The effect of non-organically enriched sediments (NOES, 0.09% of organic content) and OES (6.26% of organic content) on mortality, growth and development of juveniles and adults of Capitella teleta (cultured for more than 40 years) and Capitella sp. from Alfacs Bay, Tarragona, Spain (acclimatized for one month) were analysed in laboratory conditions. Juveniles and adults were exposed (all individuals separately in different dishes) to the two treatments, periodically observed and measured until death. NOES considerably impaired survival, growth rates and development of juveniles and adults of both species, which showed highly variable negative growth rates under OES. Juvenile and adult C. teleta showed an improved maturity under OES, even producing two protandrous and one protogynous individuals, whereas no Capitella sp. reached maturity during the experiment.

Health-promoting behaviors and healthy lifestyle are the main strategies to preserve people's health. Considering the importance of the youth's health in promoting the society's health, the present study was conducted to investigate the health-promoting behaviors and their associated factors in 18-29year-old youth of Khorramabad city in 2020. In this cross-sectional study, 358 individuals aged 18 to 29 years living in Khorramabad city in the first half of 2020 were included. This research sample was selected using a stratified multistage random sampling method. First, Khorramabad city was divided into three regions: north, central, and south regions based on the urban map. Then, two therapeutic health centers, two recreation centers, two educational centers, two business centers, and two religious cultural centers were randomly selected from each region. After that, the eligible samples were selected to enter the study by applying the convenience sampling method from each of these centers proportional to the calculated sample size. The sample size was estimated to be 358 people. The data was analyzed using SPSS software version 19.0. Descriptive statistical methods, such as mean, standard deviation and ratios, and frequency percentages were used to describe the terms. In addition, independent-t test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and linear regression analysis were used to analyze data. The mean age of the study participants was 24.6 ± 2.6 years. Of the total participants in the study, 217 (60.6%) were male and the rest were female. The total mean score of health-promoting behaviors in participants of the study was 122.6±16.13 (achievable range: 52-208). Overall, the status of health-promoting behaviors was undesirable in 12% of participants, moderate in 87.4%, and desirable in 0.6%. In univariate analysis, the difference in the total score of health-promoting behaviors was statistically significant between the subjects by gender (PV = 0.002), marital status (0.049), education level (0.001), occupation (<0.001) and history of regular smoking (<0.001).In linear regression analysis, gender, marital status, education level, and occupation were the most important predictors of health-promoting behaviors in the participants of this study. Considering the pivotal role of youth in society, proper planning seems necessary to improve their performance in the area of health promotion.

Background: Despite policies that promote inclusivity of students with various challenges, students with invisible disabilities at higher learning institutions may encounter various levels of stigma and marginalisation. This primarily stems from a lack of awareness about what invisible disabilities encompass, and very importantly, how they affect those who live with them.Objective: This study explored the subjective experiences of students with invisible disabilities at a historically disadvantaged university.Method: This study used a qualitative approach to facilitate the exploration of the subjective experiences of students with invisible disabilities. Twelve students with invisible disabilities were interviewed online via Google Meet platform, using semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using a thematic analysis.Results: Three thematic domains were identified, invisibly disabled students’ subjective experiences within the context of (1) home and community, (2) university life and (3) support offered at their university.Conclusion: This study’s findings highlight the importance of awareness of invisible disabilities in higher education. Support for students with invisible disabilities, and breaking down the barriers to it, can compound better experiences in the lives of those who have invisible disabilities. Targeted awareness campaigns could contribute to more mindful learning and teaching practices and improve the overall experience of these students. This information can also be used to promote awareness of students with invisible disabilities in higher education institutions.

Published: June 2022

The octogenarian (Ito-ogbo at 80) festival in Obosi is a festival that is celebrated with a huge fanfare of pumps and pageantries. It is celebrated every three years in March to rejoice with fathers and mothers on the attainment of the age of 80. The worry of the researchers now is how this festival will be handled amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the absence of curative drugs. This article examines the octogenarian cultural festival during the COVID-19 pandemic in Obosi, Anambra State, Nigeria. The article aims at narrating the history of octogenarians in Obosi, discussing the functions of age grades, and discussing its relevance and a discourse on this celebration amid the coronavirus. Historical and phenomenological methods were adopted for analytical purposes. The article found that the longevity of life among Obosi people has been strongly threatened by the delta variant and also that celebrants do not feel safe in sustaining the festival for fear of contracting the delta variant.Contribution: The Obosi’s Ito-ogbo celebration is a good one and it has become a homecoming for all. It has sparked a desire to provide more care to elderly parents, resulting in increased life expectancy. African traditional religion was implicated in this study.
1 Timothy 6:6–14 and materialism amongst Nigerian Christian youths
Authors: Ukeachusim Chidinma P.
Published: June 2022

Increasing involvement of Nigerian youths in cybercrime and fraud, ritual activities, prostitution, human and drug trafficking, kidnapping, robbery and hired killings reveal the growing materialism of a significant number of Nigerian youths, including uncountable numbers of professed Nigerian Christian youths. There is the need to address materialism amongst Nigerian youths with special reference to Nigerian Christian youths. Paul’s moral instructions to Timothy are still relevant for Nigerian Christian youths to emulate. Therefore, this study employs a redaction critical method of biblical exegesis to interpret and apply 1 Timothy 6:6–14 to the problem of materialism amongst Nigerian Christian youths. This study finds that materialism amongst Nigerian Christian youths is consolidating negative implications to their spiritual lives, families, to the mission mandate of the church and to Nigeria as a nation. This study argues that Paul has shown a model of how a Christian youth ought to be guided with regard to material possessions.Contribution: This study explored the issue of materialism amongst countless Nigerian Christian youths that is consolidating negative implications to their spiritual lives, families, to the church and to Nigeria as a nation. The study recommends that Paul’s instructions to Timothy about godliness and love of money are still relevant for Nigeria Christian youths to emulate.

Herman Jean de Vleeschauwer’s (1899–1986) interpretation of Medieval philosophy at UNISA (1951–1964). This article presents the interpretation of Herman Jean de Vleeschauwer (1899–1986) of Medieval philosophy during his career as a lecturer and professor of philosophy at the University of South Africa (UNISA) from 1951 to 1964. The study is done regarding De Vleeschauwer’s publications and unpublished manuscripts relating to Medieval philosophy, as filed in Archive MSS Acc 32 at the UNISA Institutional Repository. Essentially, De Vleeschauwer was one of only two South African university lecturers in the 20th century who consistently included the Middle Ages in the philosophy curriculum (the other was Martin Versfeld at the University of Cape Town, from 1937 to 1972). When précising his work in Medieval philosophy at UNISA for the designated period, it becomes clear that De Vleeschauwer’s nuanced defence of Thomism was the matrix of his interpretation. This cornerstone, and his numerous other published and unpublished texts relating to the Middle Ages, show that De Vleeschauwer was an erudite commentator, competent lecturer and skilled specialist researcher in Medieval philosophy, as he was in early modern and modern philosophy (especially on Kant and Geulincx). As a scholar of Medieval philosophy, in particular, De Vleeschauwer had no equal in the 20th century South African context.Contribution: This article contributes to the ongoing assessment of the characteristic and curious inattention to Medieval philosophy at South African (especially the historical Afrikaans) universities during the course of the 20th century.

Background: Since time immemorial, humans have devised means to improvise for survival on the planet earth. The environment has been the source of materials for manufacturing objects that have supported human existence. These materials include plants (plant parts and by-products) such as the Cucurbitaceae species.Aim: To discuss bottle gourd and some selected species of Cucurbitaceae in relation to the history, sociocultural and spiritual lives of the West African people.Methodology: A literature search was conducted on electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Google Books, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search was performed using several terms and free text words, combining them in an appropriate manner. The authors further set inclusion and exclusion criteria to screen for relevant articles.Results and discussion: Plants play crucial roles in the global economic, social, cultural, and spiritual stability. Several plant families have especially played a fundamental role(s) in the spiritual and cultural ceremonies, and history of many tribes and communities in Africa. This is because entertainment tools such as rattles, drums, harps, and lutes used during most of these ceremonies are often by-products of plants. This study revealed that Cucurbitaceae family is a spectacular class of plants with such roles. Traditional musical instruments derived from bottle gourd, Telfairia occidentalis and Momordica charantia, form an integral part of the history, spiritual and sociocultural life of some West African communities.Conclusion: The history of some tribes in West Africa is linked to specific Cucurbitaceae species.

Published: June 2022

Orientation: Disconnected scholarly work on the theoretical and empirical structure of individual work performance negatively impacts predictive studies in human resource management. Greater standardisation in the conceptualisation and measurement of performance is required to enhance the scientific rigour with which research is conducted in human resource management in South Africa.Research purpose: The present study aimed to conceptualise and empirically validate the structural validity of five broad generic dimensions of individual work performance, based on 20 narrow dimensions of performance.Motivation for the study: A generic model and standardised measurement of individual work performance, measuring performance at the appropriate level of breadth and depth, may help human resource professionals to make accurate decisions about important work-based criteria and their related predictors. A validated generic model of performance could further increase the replicability of science around performance measurement in South Africa.Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional design was implemented by asking 448 managers across several organisations to rate the performance of their subordinates on the Individual Work Performance Review (IWPR). The quantitative data were analysed by means of hierarchical confirmatory factor analyses.Main findings: An inspection of the discriminant validity of the 20 narrow performance dimensions supported the multidimensionality of performance to a fair degree. The bifactor statistical indices, in turn, suggested that the five broad factors explained a significant amount of common variance amongst the manifest variables and could therefore be interpreted as more unidimensional.Practical/managerial implications: Practitioners can interpret the broader performance dimensions in the IWPR as total scores, especially when high-stakes decisions are made about promoting or rewarding employees. The interpretation of the narrow performance dimensions might be more useful in low-stakes development situations. Cross-scale interpretations are encouraged to enable a holistic understanding of employees’ performance, as the narrow performance dimensions covary.

Background: Microbiological confirmation of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in children is a well-documented challenge. This study evaluated Xpert Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB)/Rifampicin (RIF) Ultra (Ultra) and mycobacterial cultures in routine clinical care at a tertiary paediatric hospital.Methods: Children treated for PTB and who had at least one respiratory specimen investigated by Ultra and mycobacterial culture before tuberculosis (TB) treatment was commenced were included. The findings of this retrospective study were summarised using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: A total of 174 children were included. The median age was 2.5 years. Microcytic anaemia, airway compression, cavitary disease and miliary TB were significantly observed in children with microbiologically confirmed TB (cTB). Tuberculosis was microbiologically confirmed in 93 (53.4%) children. The positive yield from testing the first respiratory specimens was 68/174 (39.1%) on Ultra and 82/174 (47.1%) on combined Ultra and mycobacterial culture. In the subset of children (n = 70) tested with Ultra on two sequential respiratory specimens, the incremental yield from the second specimen was 30.3%. In the subset of children (n = 16) tested with Ultra on three sequential respiratory specimens, the incremental yield from the second and third specimens was 16.7% and 0.0%, respectively. When Ultra and mycobacterial culture results were combined, the incremental yield in children who had two sequential respiratory specimens tested was 24.4% and 3.1% on Ultra and mycobacterial culture, respectively.Conclusion: Ultra and mycobacterial culture on a single respiratory specimen resulted in a high microbiological yield. Ultra-testing on a second respiratory specimen increased the yield of microbiologically cTB. Additional diagnostic testing may require further study.

Malaria incidence has declined in southern Zambia over recent decades, leading to efforts to achieve and sustain malaria elimination. Understanding the remaining disease burden is key to providing optimal health care. A longitudinal study conducted in a rural area of Choma District, Southern Province, Zambia, assessed the prevalence of and factors associated with symptoms of non-malarial illnesses and treatment-seeking behavior. We analyzed data collected monthly between October 2018 through September 2020 from 1,174 individuals from 189 households. No incident malaria cases were detected by rapid diagnostic tests among febrile participants. Mixed-effects logistic regression identified factors associated with cough, fever, diarrhea, and treatment-seeking. Incidence rates of cough (192 of 1,000 person-months), fever (87 of 1,000 person-months), and fever with cough (37 of 1,000 person-months) were highest among adults older than 65 years. Diarrhea incidence (37 of 1,000 person-months) was highest among children younger than 5 years. For every additional symptomatic household member, one’s odds of experiencing symptoms increased: cough by 47% (95% CI, 40–55), fever by 31% (95% CI, 23–40), diarrhea by 31% (95% CI, 17–46), and fever with cough by 112% (95% CI, 90–137), consistent with household clustering of illnesses. However, between 35% and 75% of participants did not seek treatment for their symptoms. Treatment-seeking was most common for children 5 to 9 years old experiencing diarrhea (adjusted odds ratio, 3.61; 95% CI, 1.42–9.18). As malaria prevalence reduces, respiratory and diarrheal infections persist, particularly among young children but, notably, also among adults older than 65 years. Increasing awareness of the disease burden and treatment-seeking behavior are important for guiding resource re-allocation as malaria prevalence declines in this region.

In the last years, the design in the automotive sector is mainly led by emission reduction and circular economy. To satisfy the first perspective, composites materials are being increasingly used to produce lightweight structural and semi-structural components. However, the automotive mass production arises the problem of the end-of-life disposal of the vehicle and the reduction of the wastes environmental impact. The circular economy of the composite materials has therefore become a challenge of primary importance for car manufacturers and tier 1 suppliers. It is necessary to pursue a different economic model, combining traditional raw materials with the intensive use of materials from recycling processes. New technologies are being studied and developed concerning the reuse of in-line production scraps with out-of-autoclave process that makes them desirable for high production rate applications.

In this frame, a methodology for the reuse of prepreg cutouts coming from in-line ply cutting process is proposed. Production cutouts (scraps, or chops) are used as a charge to manufacture components through the compression molding process. The structure of the final part keeps in meso-scale the same orthotropic orientation of the chops, although it is quasi-isotropic from a macroscopic point of view. Accordingly, standard three-point bending, and tensile mechanical tests were performed to characterize the mechanical behavior of the material.

Failure modes and fracture propagation were analyzed too. The chop interface resulted to affect the mechanical performance. Before material failure, multiple damage precursor sites nucleated, generally in correspondence of the chop interfaces. Delamination, brittle fracture of the matrix and debonding between the chops were the main failure modes. The results of the standard coupon tests evidenced good performance of the material in terms of strength and stiffness, despite lower than standard 2x2 twill structure, making the studied material suitable for semi-structural purposes. Accordingly, a prototype of an accelerator pedal frame was produced, in order to evaluate the feasibility, the potential limitations and the aspects to be optimized for the manufacturing of a more complex component.
