Multi-Directional Strain Measurement in Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Based on Birefringence of Embedded Fiber Bragg Grating
Authors: Zhou Chunhua , Chen Changhao , Ye Zilong , Wu Qi , Xiong Ke
Published: September 2024

Embedded fiber Bragg gratings are increasingly applied for in-situ strain measurement in fiber-reinforced plastics, integral to high-end aerospace equipment. Existing research primarily focuses on in-plane strain measurement, limited by the fact that fiber Bragg gratings are mainly sensitive to axial strain. However, out-of-plane strain measurement is equally important for comprehending structural deformation. The birefringence of fiber Bragg gratings shows promise for addressing this problem; yet, the strain transfer relationship between composites and optical fibers, along with the decoupling method for multi-directional strains, remains inadequately explored. This study introduces an innovative method for multi-directional strain measurement in fiber-reinforced plastics using the birefringence of a single-fiber Bragg grating. The strain transfer relationship between composites and embedded optical fibers was derived based on Kollar’s analytical model, leading to the development of a multi-directional strain decoupling methodology. This method was experimentally validated on carbon fiber/polyetherimide laminates under thermo-mechanical loading. Its reliability was confirmed by comparing experimental results and finite element simulations. These findings significantly broaden the application scenarios of fiber Bragg gratings, advancing the in-situ measurement technology crucial for the next generation of high-end aerospace equipment.

Sprint performance is commonly assessed via discrete sprint tests and analyzed through kinematic estimates modeled using a mono-exponential equation, including estimated maximal sprinting speed (MSS), relative acceleration (TAU), maximum acceleration (MAC), and relative propulsive maximal power (PMAX). The acceleration–velocity profile (AVP) provides a simple summary of short sprint performance using two parameters: MSS and MAC, which are useful for simplifying descriptions of sprint performance, comparison between athletes and groups of athletes, and estimating changes in performance over time or due to training intervention. However, discrete testing poses logistical challenges and defines an athlete’s AVP exclusively from the performance achieved in an isolated testing environment. Recently, an in situ AVP (velocity–acceleration method) was proposed to estimate kinematic parameters from velocity and acceleration data obtained via global or local positioning systems (GPS/LPS) over multiple training sessions, plausibly improving the time efficiency of sprint monitoring and increasing the sample size that defines the athlete’s AVP. However, the validity and sensitivity of estimates derived from the velocity–acceleration method in relation to changes in criterion scores remain elusive. To assess the concurrent validity and sensitivity of kinematic measures from the velocity–acceleration method, 31 elite youth basketball athletes (23 males and 8 females) completed two maximal effort 30 m sprint trials. Performance was simultaneously measured by a laser gun and an LPS (Kinexon), with kinematic parameters estimated using the time–velocity and velocity–acceleration methods. Agreement (%Bias) between laser gun and LPS-derived estimates was within the practically significant magnitude (±5%), while confidence intervals for the percentage mean absolute difference (%MAD) overlapped practical significance for TAU, MAC, and PMAX using the velocity–acceleration method. Only the MSS parameter showed a sensitivity (%MDC95) within practical significance (<5%), with all other parameters showing unsatisfactory sensitivity (>10%) for both the time–velocity and velocity–acceleration methods. Thus, sports practitioners may be confident in the concurrent validity and sensitivity of MSS estimates derived in situ using the velocity–acceleration method, while caution should be applied when using this method to infer an athlete’s maximal acceleration capabilities.

The work is devoted to the consideration of methods for determining the strain of objects using fiber Bragg gratings under a high-frequency vibration or pulsed mechanical action, which is difficult to perform using widespread methods and devices. The methods are based on numerical processing of the time dependence of the radiation power reflected from the fiber Bragg grating at various wavelengths, which makes it possible to measure strain parameters in a wide range of magnitude and frequencies. The efficiency of the proposed methods is demonstrated by numerical simulation. It is shown that it is possible to restore the strain dependence on time in the range ±1000 μϵ or more from simultaneously measured power dependencies reflected by the fiber Bragg grating using common fiber-optic components. The case of sequential registration of reflected radiation power at different wavelengths to determine the probability density of the distribution of the strain values is also considered. The results of signal processing obtained both by numerical simulation and experimentally for the case of a linear vibration are presented. The technical problems of using the proposed methods are discussed.
Digital Twin for Volumetric Thermal Error Compensation of Large Machine Tools
Authors: Iñigo Beñat , Colinas-Armijo Natalia , López de Lacalle Luis Norberto , Aguirre Gorka
Published: September 2024

Machine tool accuracy is greatly influenced by geometric and thermal errors that cause positioning deviations within its working volume. Conventionally, these two error sources are treated separately, with distinct procedures employed for their characterization and correction. This research proposes a unified volumetric error compensation approach in terms of a calibration procedure and error compensation model, which considers geometric and thermal errors as a single error source that exhibits temporal variation primarily due to changes in the machine’s thermal state. Building upon previous works that introduced a fully automated volumetric calibration procedure capable of characterizing the variation in volumetric error over time, this study extends this methodology, incorporating multiple temperature sensors distributed throughout the machine and generating a digital twin based on a volumetric error compensation model capable of predicting and compensating for the volumetric error over time at any point in the workspace, using temperature measurements and axis positions as inputs. This methodology is applied to a medium-sized milling machine tool. The digital twin is trained and validated on volumetric calibration tests, wherein various controlled heat sources are employed to induce thermal variations while measuring the temperatures in the machine.
Simultaneous Measurement of Strain and Displacement for Railway Tunnel Lining Safety Monitoring
Authors: Li Jun , Liu Yuhang , Zhang Jiarui
Published: September 2024

This paper proposes a dual-parameter strain/displacement safety monitoring technology for railway tunnel lining structures. An integrated monitoring system with FBG (Fiber Bragg grating) and VDM (video displacement meter) components was used to monitor both the strain and deformation of the tunnel cross-section. Initially, a comprehensive experimental study was carried out using FBG strain sensors with temperature-compensated grating. The temperature-compensated grating was used to further improve the monitoring accuracy. The data show that the stability and accuracy were better than the traditional electronic strain sensor. Secondly, high-precision and multipoint monitoring of railway tunnel lining deformation was achieved by using VDM technology. Three months of case study results taken from the Gansu Railway Tunnel in China demonstrated a tunnel cross-section strain accuracy for microstrain and crown deformation at the submillimeter level, respectively. The technology provides a new high-precision way to monitor the condition of tunnel lining structures.
An Improved Unfolded Coprime Linear Array Design for DOA Estimation with No Phase Ambiguity
Authors: Gong Pan , Zhang Xiaofei
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem for the unfolded coprime linear array (UCLA) is researched. Existing common stacking subarray-based methods for the coprime array are invalid in the case of its subarrays, which have the same steering vectors of source angles. To solve the phase ambiguity problem, we reconstruct an improved unfolded coprime linear array (IUCLA) by rearranging the reference element of the prototype UCLA. Specifically, we design the multiple coprime inter pairs by introducing the third coprime integer, which can be pairwise with the other two integers. Then, the phase ambiguity problem can be solved via the multiple coprime property. Furthermore, we employ a spectral peak searching method that can exploit the whole aperture and full DOFs of the IUCLA to detect targets and achieve angle estimation. Meanwhile, the proposed method avoids extra processing in eliminating ambiguous angles, and reduces the computational complexity. Finally, the Cramer–Rao bound (CRB) and numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
Emotional Management Strategies and Care for Women Defenders of the Territory in Jalisco
Authors: Gloss Nuñez Daniela Mabel , Nuñez Fadda Silvana Mabel
Published: September 2024

The struggles of several women defending their territories and lives are marked by family tensions and reactions to the overload of care tasks and community rules according to their socially established roles. In this qualitative research, we analyze and discuss the cases of three women’s collectives from different suburban and rural communities in Jalisco. Information recollected through the new ethnography approach over six years was coded and analyzed with the Atlas ti program. Results: Women’s defense of their land involvement, organizing, and social mobilization actions move to an overload of care and raise adverse reactions in their community and families in response to what is seen as a transgression of women’s roles. This increases dominant demobilization emotions: fear, sadness, loneliness, guilt, and shame. Through emotional management strategies linked with alternative forms of appropriation of space, starting with their bodies and sharing emotions and actions with their companions, the women in these collectives produced emotions of resistance: pride, hope, friendship, and anger, which led to reconfiguring their identities, family relationships, and roles within other place domains: bodies, family, and community. Conclusions: Women defenders, as principal carers of life, have produced and inherited a set of strategies that configure a growing “politics of the ordinary. “These strategies, through emotional management, subvert dominant emotions, feelings, and acting rules, gradually questioning and reinventing their roles and human and nonhuman relations in their most immediate contexts.
On the Integration of Standard Deviation and Clustering to Promote Scalable and Precise Wi-Fi Round-Trip Time Positioning
Authors: Gonzalez Diaz Nestor , Zola Enrica , Martin-Escalona Israel
Published: September 2024

Recently, the use of fingerprinting has been proposed for positioning using the Wi-Fi RTT estimations gathered by IEEE 802.11mc devices. Wi-Fi RTT poses a challenge on scalability due to the location-specific traffic injected in the network, which may limit the data traffic transmissions of other Wi-Fi users. In this respect, fingerprinting has been regarded as a promising scalable technique, compared to multilateration. While coupling other metrics should bring relief to the system, reducing the number of APs to which RTT measurements are requested alleviates the burden in specific cells. But how far may we go? This paper assesses several methods aimed at reducing the Wi-Fi RTT overhead while preserving the precision of the calculated position. The use of the Wi-Fi RTT standard deviation is assessed for the first time, being especially useful when the number of RTT procedures is minimized. The application of clustering can also improve position estimates while leveraging bandwidth for other users’ purposes.
Incremental Construction as a Circular Economy Instrument in the Production of Cooperative Housing
Authors: Gomide Fernanda Paes de Barros , Bragança Luís , Casagrande Junior Eloy Fassi
Published: September 2024

The Circular Economy (CE) proposal aims to minimise waste and maximise the use of resources, making it crucial for providing social housing (SH). Incorporating CE principles into SH policies makes it possible to take significant steps towards a more sustainable and equitable future. The cooperative housing movement offers a solution for growing and empowering local communities to actively develop, own, and manage housing. In some cooperative housing projects, there is the opportunity to use the incremental construction process, which offers the flexibility to adapt construction to residents’ changing circumstances and needs over time. This study aims to verify how circular economy principles applied to incremental construction in case studies of cooperative housing can contribute to more sustainable solutions in the SH sector. By conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) of scientific databases, case studies of cooperative housings that intentionally or unintentionally incorporate the incremental construction tool into their foundations were selected. The analysis and discussions in the study highlight real possibilities for incorporating CE principles into cooperative housing models by appropriating the incremental construction tool.

Authors: Onuma Yusei , Sakai Takanori , Hyodo Tetsuro
Published: September 2024

The rapid growth of the e-commerce market in the retail sector has led to a greater demand for home delivery services in recent years. In order to develop policies to address the issues related to delivery demand, it is critical to understand the demand mechanism of online shopping. Furthermore, the relationship between proximity to mass rapid transit and shopping mode choice mechanisms has not been studied, although, in the field of urban design, accessibility to mass rapid transit is known to affect travel behaviors. We focus on the relationship between proximity to mass rapid transit stations and the shopping mode choice mechanism and estimate structural equation models, considering in-person and online shopping propensities as the latent variables. We use the two datasets. One is from a web-based survey of online shoppers in Japan. The other is the 2019 NYC Citywide Mobility Survey data. The results based on Japanese survey data indicate a clear difference in shopping mode choice mechanisms between MRT-dependent neighborhoods and non-MRT-dependent neighborhoods, while such a difference is limited in NYC. Furthermore, the study reveals how individual and household characteristics and accessibility indicators affect online shopping propensity based on the type of neighborhood and city/country.

Fiscal Policy’s Function in Reducing Economic Downturn
Authors: Shnawa Majeed Hussein , Mahdi Abdulridha Mustafa , Kadhim Noor Mohammed
Published: September 2024

Fiscal policy drives a nation’s economic activity by taxing and spending by the government. It is essential for preventing economic downturns. Generally, it operates as follows: A rise in government spending Business and consumer spending typically decreases during recessions, which lowers the economy’s total demand. The government can spend more on infrastructure, services, and public initiatives to make up for this. Quick economic stimulation results in more demand for goods and services as well as the creation of jobs. Tax Rebates: Lower taxes generate more cash for businesses and consumers alike. More money is available for both individuals and companies to invest in and expand their businesses. It is possible to counteract the drop in private sector demand by increasing spending and investment. Transfer Payments: The government may also raise transfer payments to pay for social security, unemployment insurance, and other welfare programs. These payments shield the purchasing power of those who are adversely affected by the recession and aid in stabilizing the economy. Automatic Stabilizers: Without the need for new legislation, some components of fiscal policy automatically promote economic stabilization. For instance, lower-class and impoverished households benefit from automatic stabilizers that reduce taxes in reaction to slower economic development and falling revenues. Unemployment insurance and progressive income taxes are two instances of these stabilizers. As a result, aggregate demand is sustained. Debt and Budget Deficits: During a recession, the government may have a budget deficit if expenditure exceeds revenue. This may lead to an increase in the national debt, but this is typically justified as a benefit to the economy. The theory is that the economy will eventually recover from the short-term debt increase due to the stimulus’s long-term impacts, improving the country’s financial situation. The Multiplier Effect: The economy may be impacted in a number of ways by the government’s increased expenditure and tax incentives. For example, when the government funds a new infrastructure project, the workers employed to complete it spend their earnings on goods and services, increasing demand and economic activity as well as the profits of themselves and other firms. Generally speaking, the goal of fiscal policy is to boost the economy during recessions in order to lessen their severity and hasten their recovery.

Mythology’s power to shape human behavior by imparting morals and values, as well as its applicability in modern contexts, guarantees its survival. Over the past few decades, there has been a significant shift in the analysis and interpretation of these myths. India’s founding mythology, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, are reimagined and transformed into a wide range of genres. Writers have always been most intrigued by the difficult work of composing and revising the epic. Indian mythology had a great deal of nuanced and flawed characters. Major and minor literary works have found inspiration in the Ramayana. The Ramayana has been told in many different ways. All other versions of Rama’s story are based on the Valmiki Ramayana, which is the most reliable telling of the story. Amish’s view on mythology as a means of addressing the problems facing the vast, culturally and traditionally rich country of India. Amish Tripathi is an Indian writer most recognised for the Ram Chandra Series and the Shiva Trilogy. Raavan: Enemy of Aryavarta (2019) by Amish Tripathi makes the case that villains are not born. These mythological subjects have always been important, remain relevant today, and will continue to be relevant in the future. The Ramchandra Series as it is told in Amish is not the same as other versions. Nowadays, mythology is popular among the masses, but they also want a rational explanation for the magical occurrences.

Communication and Socialization in Indian Novel’s Arundhati Roy’s “The God of Small Things”
Authors: Pradeepa S
Published: September 2024

Communication and socialization are fundamental aspects of human interaction, influencing various aspects of individual and collective behavior. This abstract explores their interconnectedness, highlighting their significance in fostering relationships, transmitting information, and shaping societal norms. Examining their roles in different contexts, from interpersonal interactions to digital platforms, reveals their dynamic nature and evolving impact on human connections. Understanding the mechanisms underlying communication and socialization is crucial for addressing challenges and harnessing opportunities in an increasingly interconnected world. The process of socialization begins early in life and continues throughout one’s lifespan, involving interactions with family, peers, schools, media, and other social institutions. Primary socialization occurs during infancy and childhood, primarily within the family unit, where individuals learn basic language, norms, and values. Secondary socialization occurs later in life and involves learning new roles and adapting to different social contexts.

Trauma studies was inveterate in the early 2000s as a critical study which scrutinize the facet of the consequences on how literature deals with the outcome of personal trauma and the resilience that leads. Psychological Trauma vandalize the peace and harmony of psyche that was followed by the acquaintance of series of traumatic events. Sigmund Freud inaugurated Trauma theory initially with the notion of addressing sexual violence such as rape, battering, incest, considering the female as a focal point as it advanced to the next level of the traumatic psychic scars inflicted by the tortures, genocide in regards to the holocaust. The shock and the stressors of the incident pave way for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which make the victim arduous to cope up with daily life make them undergo abnormal activities namely sleepless nights, derealization, anxiety disorder, dissociative amnesia etc. In the Memoir, ‘The Night’ by Elie Wiesel, narrated the traumas of a young protagonist named Eliezer, an Orthodox Jewish teenager who undergone traumatic experience, because of witnessing ill treatment and being a prisoner in a Nazi German concentration camp. He was enforced to go on for days in the absence of the fundamental necessities which are needed for a human to survive. Those refusals held back his will to strive and left him traumatic that he ceased to response for the happenings he witnessed. His change from being a normal boy who was steadfast to religion, how shattered he has become after receiving the recurring cruel punishments and being a victim to the inhumane behaviour is noticeable.

Published: September 2024

Psoriasis represents a global issue affecting approximately 1% of the Caucasian population, contributing not only to aesthetic concerns but also to stigmatization, social isolation, and an overall decline in quality of life. The chronic inflammatory state in the patient's body predisposes them to a higher susceptibility to anxiety and depressive disorders. Novel treatment methods, particularly monoclonal antibodies, may serve as a bridge between physical and psychological benefits.
The research addresses the issues of psychological disorders in patients with common psoriasis and explores the impact of various dimensions of social support on the course of the disease. Topics covered include the etiopathogenesis of psoriasis, the connection between this dermatosis and an increased frequency of psychological disorders, as well as the bidirectional relationship between both disease entities.
Four studies, encompassing clinical, demographic, and psychosocial variables, underwent analysis. Each study description includes statistical analysis, operationalization of variables, and a section dedicated to drawing conclusions. In the discussion section, a strong correlation between social support and the psychological state of dermatological patients is demonstrated. An integrated approach to the therapeutic process and the benefits of a holistic approach to issues related to chronic inflammatory diseases are also discussed.
The theory of bidirectional relations between psoriasis and depression opens new possibilities for clinicians and psychologists. The work emphasizes that utilizing proven stress coping strategies based on various dimensions of social support can be a significant protective factor against psychological disorders associated with psoriasis. These actions have the potential to impact not only the psychological well-being of the patient but also to reduce the severity of skin symptoms. In light of this hypothesis, the study emphasizes the implementation of effective coping strategies in challenging situations, contributing to the improvement of the quality of life for patients with common psoriasis.
Personality metatraits and Young's early maladaptive schemas
Authors: Grabowski Adam
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Early maladaptive schemas, as defined by Young, refer to dysfunctional patterns, consisting of memories, emotions, thoughts and bodily sensations, which are the results of the interaction of innate vulnerability and intense and permanent deprivation of basic psychological needs during childhood. The objective of the research presented here was an attempt to identify, represented in metatraits, personality-based determinants for early maladaptive schemas in Young's concept. The basic assumption was that metatraits understood as biologically conditioned, basic forces shaping a person's style of functioning in the sphere of thoughts, feelings and behaviour, explain to a significant extent the intensity of the maladaptive  cognitive-emotional schemas. Method: A group of 404 subjects (221 women and 183 men) aged between 18 and 78 years (M = 37; SD = 10.78). Respondents completed the CPM-Q-SF Personality Questionnaire and the YSQ-S3 Young's Schema Questionnaire. Results: The results from the advanced statistical analyses confirmed the assumption that personality metatraits play a sigfnificant role in terms of predicting early maladaptive schemas. It turned out that the metatraits alpha-minus disinhibition and gamma-minus disharmony underlie all five schema areas in Young's approach. Conclusions: By verifying the relationships discussed, it is possible to conclude that metatraits denoting emotional instability, low frustration tolerance, aggressiveness as well as depressiveness, distrust and generally poor psycho-physical condition may represent a biologically determined personality basis for the organisation and development of dysfunctional mental codes that function as information processing mechanisms and motives for maladaptive behavioural reactions. In practical terms, the above-mentioned means that in case of certain personality disorders, working on schemas, referring to childhood experiences, may be the main approach due to the inability to change the biologically determined personality.

Published: September 2024

Migraine is a chronic neurological disease. Research indicates that it has a significant negative impact on daily functioning and, consequently, on the quality of life. Migraine sufferers often experience psychological strain, which can lead to anxiety disorders, depression, and feelings of ressentiment. This article attempts at examining these threads. The study involved 120 women experiencing migraine headaches. The subjects completed several questionnaires: Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) – used to assess the impact of headaches on the life of a person with migraine; Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) – to assess the disability of a person with migraine; General Health Questionnaire – Goldberg (GHQ-28) – to assess adults’ mental health; World Health Organization Quality of Life Test-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF) – to assess the quality of life; State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) – to assess the severity of anxiety; Beck Depression Scale – a screening tool examining the presence and severity of depressive traits; and the Ressentiment Questionnaire. The results show that migraine significantly affects the quality of life of the surveyed women; moreover, ressentiment, as indicated in the research, causes feelings of anxiety and depression and plays an intermediary role in the relationship between migraine and quality of life. As migraines increase in severity and their consequences, the levels of anxiety, depression, and ressentiment increase as well, which negatively affects women’s quality of life.

Published: September 2024

La participación de las mujeres en la vida pública ha visibilizado la violencia que estas experimentan debido al predominio de un modelo social patriarcal. El objetivo del artículo es analizar el nivel de exigencia normativa de la Ley 10235 Para prevenir, atender, sancionar y erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres en la política en Costa Rica; con base en la aplicación del índice de exigencia normativa (IEN) Lo anterior con el propósito de dilucidar el funcionamiento del derecho en una de las democracias más sólidas de la región latinoamericana como es la costarricense. Los resultados muestran que en la norma hay cuestiones centrales para el tratamiento de la violencia contra las mujeres en la política ausentes o no especificadas. Únicamente respecto a la tipificación de la violencia política en razón de género esta ley se apega a lo establecido por la Ley Modelo Interamericana para Prevenir, Sancionar y Erradicar la Violencia contra las Mujeres en la Vida Política (2017). Concluye que la exigencia normativa de la Ley 10235 es baja, por lo que es indispensable profundizar el análisis de los procesos jurídico-políticos y las implicaciones de su limitado alcance para el fortalecimiento de la democracia en el país.

The paper examines the relevance of the measles problem in the Russian Federation, Volga Federal District, and Orenburg Region among various age groups. The manifestations of the measles epidemic process in long-term dynamics from 2010 to 2022 were studied and analyzed. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of the incidence of measles in the population was carried out, including an analysis of the long-term dynamics of the incidence of the population, an analysis of the intra-annual dynamics of the incidence and an analysis of the long-term dynamics of the incidence among various population groups. It has been established that the long-term average incidence of measles in the Orenburg region exceeds that in the Volga Federal District. Areas at risk for measles incidence among municipalities of the Orenburg region are Sorochinsky and Tashlinsky districts. The risk group for measles incidence in the Orenburg region is the child population. Two full cycles of rise and fall in morbidity have been established. In the intra-annual dynamics of the incidence of whooping cough, spring-winter seasonality is noted. Keywords: measles, retrospective epidemiological analysis, risk areas, risk groups, time of risk, incidence.
