Pusty tron władzy, czyli o dylematach władzy ludu w demokracjach
Authors: Sikora Anna
Published: May 2020

W ostatnich latach politycy coraz częściej odwołują się do woli suwerena jako do motywatora podejmowania decyzji. W artykule została podniesiona kwestia wątpliwości kryjących się za zasadą reprezentacji – naczelną zasadą demokracji. To właśnie dzięki reprezentantom lud sprawuje władzę w państwach demokratycznych. I jak głoszą populiści, system trzeba zmienić, by przywrócić ludowi głos. Poruszono również kwestię realności takiego rozwiązania. Wybrani reprezentanci są jednocześnie podlegli ludowi i nim rządzą. Wywołuje to pytania o zakres władzy, jaką mają rządzący. Gdzie powinna kończyć się władza ludu oraz w jakich okolicznościach rządzący powinni wiedzieć lepiej niż vox populi? Zwłaszcza że współcześnie powstaje coraz więcej nisz, do których suwerenny lud nie ma dostępu.

W artykule podejmuję próbę wzięcia udziału w dyskusji odbywającej się w ramach współczesnej etyki cnót. Przedstawiam jeden z głównych problemów związanych z procesem kształtowania cnót i argumentuję, że większe zbliżenie etyki cnót do modelu niedyrektywnego pozwoliłoby zmniejszyć adekwatność zarzutów wysuwanych wobec metod i mechanizmów wykorzystywanych w procesie kształtowania charakteru. Jako jeden z możliwych sposobów zbliżenia etyki cnót do modelu niedyrektywnego wskazuję uwzględnienie zagadnienia Nagelowskiej typologii racji do działania.
External image of hypermarket as a factor of influence on consumer behavior
Authors: Timokhovich A. N.
Published: May 2020

The set of problems of perception of elements of the external image of the organization that sells in the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) area by the target audience has been raised. The elements of the external image of the organization that influence the behavior of hypermarket consumers are analysed. The article is based on the results of the empirical research of the hypermarket chain Globus consumer behavior. The study has been conducted using the online survey method, a sample of 658 respondents.

Consumer perceptions about the company as a whole have been described, consumer attitude to the hypermarket has been revealed, the main elements of the external image of the hypermarket, on which the consumer target audience is focused on, have been defined. Insufficient involvement of consumers in events at points of sale, low awareness of different types of activities to stimulate consumers, a generally positive attitude and high brand awareness of the hypermarket have been identified. Insufficient use of the hypermarket’s website and official Internet resources by representatives of target groups (social network accounts, mobile application) has been revealed. The main channel for informing the target audience is advertising at the point of sale.

Conclusions have been made about the need to develop the image policy of trade companies in the field of FMCG; about the need to promote mobile applications of hypermarkets; about the need to use interactive online technologies in social media and through the trade company`s website for operational communication with consumers, as well as to activate consumer behavior. It has been concluded about the impact of the atmosphere of a point of sale on the image of the company in the field of FMCG. Recommendations on optimizing communication channels, through which the target audience receives information about the point of sale of FMCG products, – have been developed.
A Thermodynamic assessment of the reported room-temperature chemical synthesis of C2
Authors: Rzepa Henry S.
Published: May 2020

Chemical formation of C2 from an alkynyl iodonium salt precursor is calculated to be strongly endo-energetic, in contrast to the reported chemical synthesis and trapping which is facile at room temperatures. If C2 is to be formed at such temperatures, a mechanism to counter the unfavourable thermodynamic energies must be identified.

Published: May 2020

The heterofulvenoid cyclopentadithiophene-phosphaalkene is a versatilie building block for opto-electronic tuning with donor and acceptor moieties. Both the annulated thienyl rings and the phosphaalkene bond can be functionalised using a variety of chemical transfomations, e.g. forming C-C, C-E (E = Si, Br) bonds or oxidation and metal coordination, respectively. Solid-state structures, optical and electronic properties are probed theoretically and experimentally, illustrating the opto-electronic tailoring opportunities at this motif.

Light-driven water oxidation in algae, cyanobacteria, and higher plants generates dioxygen that supports life on Earth. The water-oxidation reaction is catalyzed by the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in photosystem II (PSII) that is comprised of the tetranuclear manganese calcium-oxo (Mn4CaO5) cluster, with participation of the redox-active tyrosine residue (YZ) and a hydrogen-bonded network of amino acids and water molecules. YZ mediates successive proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions that are essential for the oxidation of water to dioxygen at the Mn4CaO5 cluster. It has been proposed that the strong hydrogen bond between YZ and and its conjugate base, D1-His190, likely renders YZ kinetically and thermodynamically competent leading to highly efficient water oxidation.1 However, a detailed understanding of PCET at YZ remains elusive due to the transient nature of its intermediate states. In this study, we utilize a combination of high-resolution two-dimensional (2D) 14N hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) methods to investigate the electronic structure of a bioinspired artificial photosynthetic reaction center, benzimidazole-phenol porphyrin (BiP–PF10), that mimics the PCET process at the YZ residue of PSII. The results of these studies underscore the importance of proximal water molecules and charge delocalization on the electronic structure of the artificial reaction center.

Published: May 2020

SARS-CoV-2 uses RBD of Spike (S) protein to attach with human cell via ACE2 receptor, followed by protease priming at S1/S2 site resulted in host cell entry and pathogenesis. In this context, we focused our aim in studying natural mutations harboring in Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. We have analyzed 420 COVID-19 cases. G476S and V483G mutation are observed which lies in the RBD region where as the prevalent D614G mutation is observed in the vicinity of S1/S2 site. Interestingly MD simulation supports strong favorable interaction of ACE2 with RBD region containing V483A mutation as compared to G476S and reference wild Wuhan S protein. Radius of gyration analysis also showed high degree of compactness in V483A. The landscape plot and Gibbs free energy also support our findings. Overall, our study indicates that V483G in the RBD region can enhance its binding with the human ACE2 receptor. Interestingly D614G mutation in vicinity of S1/S2 region introduced a new cleavage site specific for a serine protease elastase that is anticipated to broaden the virus host cell tropism. Hence, both V483A and D614G mutations led to enhanced and broaden the virus host cell entry and transmission of the disease. Further epitope mapping analysis revealed G476S and D614G mutations as antigenic determinants and thus these mutations are important while designing a therapeutics vaccine or chimeric antibody. This finding will help in further understanding the role of such arising mutations in modulating immunogenicity, viral tropism and pathogenesis of the disease, which in lieu will help in designing vaccine more precisely to mitigate pandemic COVID-19.

Authors: Guan Amy , Liang Ivy , Zhou Christopher , Cundari Thomas
Published: May 2020

DFT and coupled cluster methods were used to investigate the impact of 3d metals and ligands upon the acidity and activation of coordinated methane C–H bonds. A strong, direct relationship was established between the pKa of coordinated methane and the subsequent free energy barriers to H3C–H activation. The few outliers to this relationship indicated other factors– such as thermodynamic stability of the product and ligand-metal coordination type – also impacted the methane activation barrier (dG‡). High variations in the activation barriers and pKa values were found with a range of 34.8 kcal/mol for the former and 28.6 pKa units for the latter. Clear trends among specific metals and ligands were also derived; specific metals, such as CoI, as well as Lewis and p-acids consistently yielded higher acidity for the ligated methane and hence lower dG‡.

Published: May 2020

Injury-related death accounts for 9% of mortality, worldwide. Unintentional injury accounts for a major part of injury-related disability-adjusted life years. Unintentional injury in children is of importance because it contributes a major part to child mortality and can also potentially have long-term effects. A cross-sectional study was conducted to find the incidence of unintentional injury in children of age 1 year to 18 years, in a sub-urban area, Thirumazhisai, in Chennai, India. The study was conducted from January 21, 2019, to March 21, 2019. The study was conducted on 144 participants, which included the primary caretaker of the child with unintentional injury, which occurred within the last 3 months, using pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire. The data was collected and analysed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software. The study results showed that among the 144 participants, 75 were males and 69 were females. The cause of injury was recorded and classified as those due to playing outdoors (38.9%), domestic accidents (25%), sports-related injury (8.3%) and other injuries (30.6%). The commonest injury was abrasions (45.1%) followed by cuts &lacerations (30.6). Commonest body parts affected were hands (47.9%) and legs (46.5%). Around 30% had to take leave from school for up to 2 days, 26% had to take leave for more than 2 days and 25% had local pain. The injury was treated at healthcare centre in only 52.8% of the study group.Unintentional injuries sustained while playing outside were more common among caretakers who had only up to school education and those who were unemployed/housewives. Health education and awareness creation can be done for primary caretakers on the prevention of unintentional injuries as it can affect their schooling and create financial problem for the family.

Published: May 2020

Various treatment options are available for treating type III supracondylar fractures of the humerus. The most common technique employed is closed manipulative reduction with K wire fixation. This study was performed to compare two different pinning techniques in type III supracondylar fractures of the humerus. This study was done in the time frame between January 2012 to December 2015. The age of the children selected for this study ranged from 3 to 12 years of age. Among 66 children, 6 were lost to follow up and the final number was 60 children. Patients with lateral pin fixation were allotted to group A(n=29), while patients with cross pin fixation technique were allotted to Group B(n=31). All patients were assessed for loss of fracture reduction and the occurrence of ulnar nerve injury. The two groups were evaluated at regular intervals from the first week to a time frame of 6 months. In both groups of patients, there was no loss of fracture reduction observed. The various parameters pertaining to the study were evaluated and there was no statistical significant difference found between the 2 groups. In group B, 3 of the children had injury to the ulnar nerve. Both groups were comparable in terms of fracture healing duration, loss in the reduction of the fracture and the stability provided by the pin constructs. In conclusion, both fixation constructs are comparable in terms of stability, but there are higher chances of iatrogenic injury to the ulnar nerve by using the crossed pinning technique. Hence, we conclude that the lateral pin construct is safer as compared to the cross pin method.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology involving both small and large joints with many extra-articular manifestations. There may be a variety of pulmonary complications associated with RA based on its disease activity and levels of RF and anti-CCP titers. Pulmonary involvement may be seen at different levels of the respiratory system, with infection being the most common cause of mortality. Our study shows the association and degree of pulmonary involvement in patients with RA based on the pulmonary function test and its correlation with the DAS 28 score. The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of pulmonary involvement in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The study population was 100 patients with RA diagnosed based on the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria following all the exclusion. The patients were subjected to a PFT on diagnosis and repeated at 6 and 18 months following treatment. In our study, there is a higher prevalence of pulmonary involvement seen in doing PFT, even in asymptomatic patients with RA when compared to other studies. Pulmonary complications occurring in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis may be identified on doing a PFT or HRCT thorax. Pulmonary involvement carries significant mortality and morbidity. Disease duration and disease activity score 28 were found to have a significant association with pulmonary complications. Although our study brings out the incidence of higher risk of pulmonary involvement in patients with RA, more studies meta-analysis are required.

Authors: Pooja Nair  , Renu Mathews  , Kalyani M
Published: May 2020

The emergence of bacterial antibiotic resistance is a cardinal concern in the health care system. The spread of resistance in Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenters to the currently available drugs make the treatment of serious nosocomial infections troublesome.  The purpose of the study is to find out the carbapenem resistance among Gram-negative bacilli in a tertiary care hospital. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of 1913 aerobic Gram-negative bacilli isolated from clinical samples was made for a period of 6 months. All the isolates were tested for susceptibility to antibiotics by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique according to CLSI guidelines. Carbapenemase production was confirmed by the Modified Hodge Test (MHT). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by Epsilometer (E) test was performed (for Imipenem and Meropenem) for carbapenem-resistant strains. A total of 1731 clinical samples, 1913 Gram-negative bacilli were isolated. 1476 (77.1%) were Enterobacteriaceae and 433 (22.6%) were non-fermenters. 54 were carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli. Meropenem E test was done for carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacilli. The minimum inhibitory concentration for Meropenem ranged from 0.002μg/ml to 32μg/ml. To overcome the problem of emerging resistance, combined interaction and cooperation of microbiologists, clinicians and the infection control team is needed.

Published: May 2020

The laboratory induced cellular stress on zygotes and embryos in their microenvironment could negatively influence the clinical outcome. One of the core components of an IVF lab is the culture incubator. Incubators can provide a stable and appropriate-culture environment by regulating optimal conditions on parameters such as temperature, gas levels and humidity. Clinical studies which compare incubator characteristics may provide insight to their efficacy. In humid conditions of the tropical climate, the incubators without humidifiers can also be used. Hence this study was done to identify the role of a humidifier in a tropical country. In this multicentre retrospective study, embryos from a total of 787 patients were cultured as two groups -A and B in two different types of incubators- humidified and dry, respectively. 647 patients in group A and 140 patients in group B were examined for the developmental parameters. The embryos were frozen at the blastocyst stage and replaced in subsequent frozen embryo transfer cycles. The resulted pregnancy, miscarriage and the clinical pregnancy outcomes were compared. The data was subjected to statistical validation.  There was no significant difference observed in the clinical pregnancy rates between the groups. This study validates the possible use of dry incubators for the in vitro culture of human embryos in tropical climate without aiding any humidification.

Authors: Verstraeten Soraya P. A. , van Oers Hans A. M. , Mackenbach Johan P.
Published: May 2020

Objective. To identify specific health care areas whose optimization could improve population health in the Dutch Caribbean islands of Aruba and Curaçao.

Methods. Comparative observational study using mortality and population data of the Dutch Caribbean islands and the Netherlands. Mortality trends were calculated, then analyzed with Joinpoint software, for the period 1988–2014. Life expectancies were computed using abridged life tables for the most recent available data of all territories (2005–2007). Life expectancy differences between the Dutch Caribbean and the Netherlands were decomposed into cause-specific contributions using Arriaga’s method.

Results. During the period 1988–2014, levels of amenable mortality have been consistently higher in Aruba and Curaçao than in the Netherlands. For Aruba, the gap in amenable mortality with the Netherlands did not significantly change during the study period, while it widened for Curaçao. If mortality from amenable causes were reduced to similar levels as in the Netherlands, men and women in Aruba would have added, respectively, 1.19 years and 0.72 years to their life expectancies during the period 2005–2007. In Curaçao, this would be 2.06 years and 2.33 years. The largest cause-specific contributions were found for circulatory diseases, breast cancer, perinatal causes, and nephritis/nephrosis (these last two causes solely in Curaçao).

Conclusions. Improvements in health care services related to circulatory diseases, breast cancer, perinatal deaths, and nephritis/nephrosis in the Dutch Caribbean could substantially contribute to reducing the gap in life expectancy with the Netherlands. Based on our study, we recommend more in-depth studies to identify the specific interventions and resources needed to optimize the underlying health care areas.

Published: May 2020

This study aimed to develop a TaqMan Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction method,
using a novel primer for detection of pork adulteration in meatballs. The study is
important as it described a TaqMan method for product adulteration analysis. TaqMan is
known to have a more specific result compared to SYBR green analytical method. Assay
in the study combined species-specific primers and TaqMan probes to targeting 153 bp
fragment of D-loop mitochondrial region of pork. A specificity test was conducted on
fresh tissues of pork, beef, chicken, wild boar, dog, and mouse. Meatballs as samples were
prepared from a mixture of pork-beef and wild boar-beef with concentrations as follows:
5%, 10%, 25%, 75%, 90%, and 100%. The linearity and sensitivity of the method were
performed by measuring the amplification curve from the dilution series, namely 1000,
200, 100, 10, 5, 1, and 0.5 pg/μL of DNA, extracted from 100% pork meatballs. A
repeatability test was conducted as many as six repetitions on 100% pork and 100% wild
boar meatballs. This study showed that mitochondrial D-loop species-specific primers and
TaqMan probes could identify the DNA of pork and wild boar on the fresh tissues.
Additionally, it also resulted in a threshold cycle (Ct) of 17.02 and 17.95 for pork, 22.22
for wild boar, while the negative result for others. The detection limit has shown 5 pg in
the meatball formulation. The Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) of repeatability was
1.936% for pork, while 2.140% for wild boar. The developed method was also applied to
analyzing commercial meatballs. A TaqMan real-time PCR analytical method using
specific primer targeting on 153 bp fragment of the D-loop mitochondrial region could be
applied as a standard method for identifying pork and wild boar in food samples intended
for halal authentication studies
SPARX-R computerized therapy among adolescents in youth offenders' program: Step-wise cohort study
Authors: Fleming Theresa , Gillham B , Bavin LM , Stasiak K , Lewycka S , Moore J , Shepherd M , Merry SN
Published: May 2020

© 2019 The Authors Background: Youth offenders have high rates of unmet mental health needs, including elevated rates of subclinical or clinical depression. Computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) has been shown to be effective for depression, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most effective psychological treatments for offence related behaviours. We planned to evaluate the impact of SPARX-R 1.0 (the first iteration of a revised version of SPARX cCBT) for adolescents in a community day program (Mentoring Youth New Directions or MYND) for male recidivist youth aged between 14 and 17 years. Recruitment and retention in the trial were lower than anticipated. In this brief report we present main findings and discuss implications. Methods: We developed a stepwise cohort design to investigate the acceptability and effectiveness of SPARX-R in a complex, real-world setting. Participants were allocated to the MYND program only (treatment as usual), or MYND with the addition of SPARX-R. All adolescents referred to MYND within a specified period were assigned to one of four social workers, as per usual practice. Each social worker was randomized to begin SPARX-R with consenting new clients from one of four time points. Assessments were completed within the first two weeks of commencing the MYND program and then at 10 and 20 weeks after commencement. We solicited brief feedback on SPARX-R from young people and staff who used it. Results: Of 64 eligible youth who began MYND during the trial period, 51 consented but 25 stopped attending MYND despite court orders or because their court orders were changed. Nineteen participants were randomized to SPARX-R but only two completed two or more levels of the 7-level program, so it was not possible to evaluate the impact as planned. The four participants who provided feedback were indifferent or negative about SPARX-R. Staff advised that technical difficulties (such as loading or saving problems) were off putting and that SPARX-R was slow and not appealing to their clients. Conclusions: Computerized CBT was not successfully implemented in this group, highlighting challenges in retention in this non-residential justice program. The findings also indicate that computerized therapies of proven acceptability and effectiveness in one setting may be unappealing in another. Implementation and equity efforts need to consider and test the specialist needs of diverse groups.
How LGBT+ Young People Use the Internet in Relation to Their Mental Health and Envisage the Use of e-Therapy: Exploratory Study
Authors: Lucassen Mathijs , Samra Rajvinder , Iacovides Ioanna , Fleming Theresa , Shepherd Matthew , Stasiak Karolina , Wallace Louise
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth and other young people diverse in terms of their sexuality and gender (LGBT+) are at an elevated risk of mental health problems such as depression. Factors such as isolation and stigma mean that accessing mental health services can be particularly challenging for LGBT+ young people, and previous studies have highlighted that many prefer to access psychological support on the Web. Research from New Zealand has demonstrated promising effectiveness and acceptability for an LGBT+ focused, serious game-based, computerized cognitive behavioral therapy program, Rainbow Smart, Positive, Active, Realistic, X-factor thoughts (SPARX). However, there has been limited research conducted in the area of electronic therapy (e-therapy) for LGBT+ people. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore how and why LGBT+ young people use the internet to support their mental health. This study also sought to explore LGBT+ young people's and professionals' views about e-therapies, drawing on the example of Rainbow SPARX. METHODS: A total of 3 focus groups and 5 semistructured interviews were conducted with 21 LGBT+ young people (aged 15-22 years) and 6 professionals (4 health and social care practitioners and 2 National Health Service commissioners) in England and Wales. A general inductive approach was used to analyze data. RESULTS: LGBT+ youth participants considered that the use of the internet was ubiquitous, and it was valuable for support and information. However, they also thought that internet use could be problematic, and they highlighted certain internet safety and personal security considerations. They drew on a range of gaming experiences and expectations to inform their feedback about Rainbow SPARX. Their responses focused on the need for this e-therapy program to be updated and refined. LGBT+ young people experienced challenges related to stigma and mistreatment, and they suggested that strategies addressing their common challenges should be included in e-therapy content. Professional study participants also emphasized the need to update and refine Rainbow SPARX. Moreover, professionals highlighted some of the issues associated with e-therapies needing to demonstrate effectiveness and challenges associated with health service commissioning processes. CONCLUSIONS: LGBT+ young people use the internet to obtain support and access information, including information related to their mental health. They are interested in LGBT-specific e-therapies; however, these must be in a contemporary format, engaging, and adequately acknowledge the experiences of LGBT+ young people.

ABSTRAKPanel surya merupakan energi terbarukan yang menjadi solusi untuk masa depan. Tetapi efisiensi menjadi masalah tersendiri pada panel surya, dengan efisiensi yang rendah mengakibatkan daya yang dihasilkan kecil dan tidak sebanding dengan harga yang dikeluarkan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan perancangan untuk meningkatkan efisiensi panel surya ke titik maksimal dengan berbagai fitur yaitu sistem tracking, cermin reflector dan monitoring IoT. Sistem ini menggunakan sensor Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi intensitas cahaya dan dilengkapi juga motor penggerak untuk mengatur sudut elevasi, cermin reflector sebagai pemantul cahaya, dan IoT untuk monitoring jarak jauh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan cermin reflector mampu meningkatkan daya pada siang hari tetapi turun ketika pagi dan sore hari, sedangkan sistem tracking mampu memproduksi daya lebih baik pada waktu kapanpun.Kata kunci: panel surya, sensor, reflektor ABSTRACTSolar panels are renewable energy which is the solution for the future. But efficiency is a problem in solar panels, with low efficiency resulting in small power generated and not worth the price incurred. In this research, the design is carried out to increase the efficiency of solar panels to the maximum point with various features, namely the tracking system, mirror reflector, and IoT monitoring. This system uses an LDR sensor that is used to detect light intensity and is also equipped with a motor to adjust the elevation angle, reflector mirror as a reflection of light, and IoT for remote monitoring. The results showed that the use of reflector mirrors can increase power during the day but go down in the morning and evening, while the tracking system is able to produce better power at any time.

ABSTRAKRacing line merupakan daerah lintasan yang berguna untuk pebalap atau pengemudi mendapatkan akselerasi maksimum. Dalam penelitian mobil listrik, racing line tidak hanya berguna untuk mendapatkan akselerasi maksimum, namun juga berguna untuk mendapatkan hasil efisiensi tertinggi terutama pada saat mobil berada di tikungan, hal ini disebabkan mobil listrik menghasilkan daya yang lebih besar pada saat berada di tikungan dibandingkan dengan lintasan lurus. Pemilihan racing line serta proses kontrol kecepatan pada mobil listrik yang baik pada tikungan bertujuan untuk mengurangi konsumsi daya pada motor serta meningkatkan hasil efisiensi mobil. Untuk dapat meningkatkan hasil efisiensi pada mobil listrik perlu ditambahkan sebuah ECU (Electronic Control Unit) dengan kontrol fuzzy logic sebagai pengendali kecepatan mobil secara otomatis pada saat mobil berada di tikungan, dengan penambahan kontrol fuzzy logic serta sensor sudut belok ini konsumsi daya yang dihasilkan oleh mobil saat berada di tikungan menjadi lebih rendah serta hasil efisiensi mobil lebih tinggi.Kata kunci: Racing Line, Sistem ECU, Logika Fuzzy ABSTRACTIn the research of electric cars, the racing line is not only useful for getting maximum acceleration, but it is also useful to get the highest efficiency results especially when the car is round the corner, this is due to electric cars producing greater power when in a curved compared to a straight track. The selection of a racing line and speed control process on a good electric car on the curved aims to reduce the power consumption of the motor and increase the efficiency of the car. To be able to increase the efficiency of the electric car, an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is added by fuzzy logic controls as a car speed controller automatically when the car is in the corner, with the addition of fuzzy logic controls and turn-angle sensors. The car when on the curved becomes lower and the results of higher car efficiency.Keywords: Racing Line, ECU System, Fuzzy Logic

Published: May 2020

Particle Swarm is an optimization method that is used for solving industrial problems and is highly preferred due to its ease of use and it’s ability to find accurate results rapidly in recent years. In this study, it was used to optimize the resistance value of train sets.
There are many types of resistance in train sets and the train can't start moving until the traction motors overcome the resistances. Run resistance, ramp resistance, and curve resistance are the resistances that the train must overcome at a constant speed. However, it is known that the acceleration of high-speed trains is very high and the resistance that the train sets must overcome for the change in speeds is acceleration resistance.
This study aimed to calculate the acceleration, time, curve, ramp and distance, under certain constraints, for the total resistance value of YHT 65000 train by using the Particle Swarm Method as to obtain the minimum and maximum. Although, the results showed that the Particle Swarm Method returned very successful results for the minimum resistance, the same cannot be said for the maximum resistance.

According to the current increase rate of the world population it is expected to reach 10 billion people in 2050. In addition, agricultural production area and agricultural labor force is constantly decreasing with the migration of rural population to the city with the use of agricultural areas for residential and industrial purposes. Therefore, it is a necessity to develop and disseminate systematic and efficient production techniques that will provide sufficient nutrition for humanity.
The agricultural sector also benefits greatly from what Industry 4.0 brings. IoT (Internet of Things), AI (Artificial Intelligence), Remote Sensing & ImP (Remote Sensing and Image Processing) techniques have been integrated with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and have been actively used in agriculture in recent years. In addition to the soil characteristic and meteorological data collected by sensors, high resolution multi-band images taken from satellite systems and unmanned aerial vehicles are transferred to decision support platforms and artificial intelligence support can be used to determine the stress factors of crops and propose instant solution alternatives.
Within the scope of this paper, in a study carried out by HEKTAŞ R & D Center which develops innovation projects in the agricultural sector with the motto of “Pioneer of smart agriculture” general information will be given on the practical use of some of the above mentioned precision agricultural techniques during phenological growth stages of the wheat in Thrace region.
