Published: October 2021

Kebakaran yang terjadi di Yogyakarta mengalami peningkatan dari tahun sebelumnya naik ke tahun berikutnya, khususnya di daerah yang padat penduduknya serta pada wilayah atau daerah industri. Kebakaran merupakan hal yang sering terjadi, dan ini akan membahayakan serta mengancam keselamatan jiwa seseorang. Oleh karena itu sangat dibutuhkan sikap kesadaran serta kesiapan untuk menangani apabila terjadi kebakaran dan ini perlu peran serta dukungan baik oleh masyarakat itu sendiri maupun pemerintah setempat. Bertolak dari sering terjadinya bencana kebakaran tersebut sangat diperlukan suatu pelatihan perlindungan risiko kebakaran dengan pengenalan dan penggunaan APAR. Pelatihan yang dilakukan bertujuan agar masyarakat lebih mengetahui serta memahami bagaimana bila terjadi musibah kebakaran serta bagaimana penanggulangannya. Pelatihan dilakukan di Dusun Condong Catur, Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta, karena wilayah ini sangat padat penduduknya dan riskan terjadi kebakaran, disamping itu dusun Condong Catur letaknya berdampingan dengan kota Yogyakarta yang penduduknya padat. Peserta berjumlah 30 orang. Dari hasil pelatihan terjadi peningkatan pemahaman sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan, diantaranya terjadi peningkatan pemahaman mengenai konsep segitiga api sebesar 90%, peningkatan pemahaman pengetahuan penggunaan APAR sebesar 87%, dan peningkatan konsep pemadaman tradisional mengalami peningkatan sebesar 83%.

Set of graphic symbols for visual modeling in social-humanitarian knowledge
Authors: Koshlakov Dmitriy
Published: October 2021

The paper raises and discusses the research problem of knowledge visualization. It is stated that the scientific knowledge knows a lot of visual languages that allow us to describe and transmit knowledge, stimulate the cognitive process and provide it with a sufficiently high level of formalizing. However, as mentioned in the paper, the availability of visual languages in social and humanitarian knowledge is currently insufficient, which is due to the fact that there are no general and rich in content visual languages describing social and humanitarian processes. The paper considers the theoretical basis of the author’s proposed solution to the previously posed problem of deficit of available visual languages. The author notes that visual epistemology should be one of theoretical statements of research into the uses of visual languages. Another significant theoretical basis suggested for solving the problem are the ideas of functional asymmetry of the human brain, considered in the context of so-called computer metaphor. The third theoretical basis of the solution embraces the concepts of visual language, visual modeling, and visual model. The author proposes the set of graphic symbols, the basic elements of which are two signs – the sign of the object and the sign of the relationship between objects. Furthermore, the author proposes additional signs for indicate various types of links and relations between objects. The paper states that in addition to cognitive functions, visual modeling performs a significant communicative function, as it makes the results of the cognitive process more visible and more convenient for perception. The author emphasizes the variability of visual modeling processes and stresses that these processes largely depend on the aesthetic consciousness of the cognizing subject. Such dependence indicates that epistemology and aesthetics are somehow intertwined in visual modeling. The final part of the paper summarizes the results of the research. The author notes that the set of visual signs as components of the visual language proposed by the author can be successfully used in solving such problems as: systematic description and visual modelling of complex processes and systems, both in social and humanitarian fields and beyond them; modelling, description and analysis of text, discourse, reasoning.

Reply to critics
Authors: Nikiforov Alexander
Published: October 2021

This paper suggests brief answers to the criticism given on the article “On the meaning and significance of the concept of ‘progress’”. This article depicts progress as an evaluative concept, and since the value systems of dif-ferent people are different, it argues that the assessments about progress or regression will always differ. Critics’ comments, however, clarify that there are criteria for evaluating some changes on which there is real general agreement. The author notes that the critical comments support the fact that the notion of progress is still vague and unclear and a spe-cial consideration of its various aspects seems important.
On the meaning and significance of the concept of “progress”
Authors: Nikiforov Alexander
Published: October 2021

The article provides a semantic analysis of the general concept of “progress”. The author shows that the objective meaning of this concept is a series of successive changes of a certain object. Still, the meaning of the con-cept of “progress” also includes an assess-ment of these changes from the observer’s viewpoint, who can assess these changes as a transition from lower to higher, from less perfect to more perfect, that is as progressive changes, or on the contrary – as a transition from perfect to less perfect, that is as regres-sive changes. It seems clear that these esti-mates depend on the observers’ value sys-tem, that is from their ideas about the high, the perfect, and the useful. Different people have different value systems, which is why so often people disagree in their assessments of some changes as progressive or regressive. The article discusses the question of whether a certain system of universal values exists, which assumes that a generally valid assess-ment of some changes as progressive is possible. Modern sociological research demonstrates the absence of such system. The author, in his turn, suggests a hypothesis about what could serve as the basis for the formation of such a universal human value system.
Infrastructuring Transdisciplinary Problem Solving in Translational Research
Authors: Basapur Santosh , Sato Keiichi , Shah Raj C. , Robison Sherry
Published: October 2021

Translational Research in the health sciences endeavors to bring biomedical discoveries into clinical applications that improve human health. This work is complex and long-term with a substantial risk of failure. A key step of clinical trials is needed to evaluate the effects of those interventions on human biomedical or behavioral outcomes. Timely recruitment of human subjects and meeting recruitment milestones is recognized as one of the most significant contributors to delays and failures. Quality and Design approaches have been tried to address the problem but the scope has been limited. We proposed to determine how Quality and Design may lead to complementary solutions for these barriers of Translational Research. The first ten studios using this approach are presented here. Three themes emerged: (1) problems were investigated similarly but there was a difference in insights, (2) quality process-based solutions tended to be specific to the issue discussed whereas the design process often yielded solutions broader or even tangential, and (3) quality solutions demonstrated more immediacy while design solutions showed more systemic ideas. In conclusion, the paper demonstrates how Design and Quality in a transdisciplinary studio may lead to solutions with different characteristics for clinical trials and advance translational science.

Published: October 2021

The adoption of transdisciplinary capabilities within UK manufacturing could strengthen resilience in response to system disruptions. We propose a Disciplinary Maturity Grid (DMG) as a means through which industry can assess the disciplinarity of their engineering capability. The design of methods to assess maturity of disciplinary working is hindered by a lack of empirical evidence to support identification of the important dimensions. A workshop involving twelve academic experts was used to create a maturity grid. Workshop tasks focussed on defining the appropriate number of maturity levels, the dimensions of those levels, and the maturity assessment questions. The DMG contains five maturity levels and seven dimensions, providing a preliminary design from which to build in future studies.
Design and Production Automation for Mass Customisation – An Initial Framework Proposal Evaluated in Engineering Education and SME Contexts
Authors: Poot Leon Peter , Tarkian Mehdi , Ölvander Johan
Published: October 2021

Maintaining high product quality while reducing cost is essential for mass-customised products, requiring continuous improvement of the product development process. To this end, design automation should be utilised in all stages of a product’s develop process and lay the foundation for automation of repetitive tasks throughout the process from interaction with the customer to design and production in order to mitigate errors and minimise costs. In this paper, a design automation and production preparation framework is proposed that can facilitate automation from initial stages via CAD to production. Examples of the framework are shown in the shape of proof-of-concepts systems developed by master students in the context of a course in design automation at Linköping University. Included disciplines such as automated planning of robot assembly paths, CNC manufacturing files and production drawings are described, based on design automation, Knowledge-Based Engineering, and design optimisation. Additionally, variations of the framework are implemented at three SMEs, and the results thereof are presented. The proposed frameworks enable interaction and connection between the “softer”, human centred, aspects of customer interaction within sales, with more traditional “harder” engineering disciplines in design and manufacturing.

Authors: Moser Bryan , Singh Amardeep , Zhang Yuru
Published: October 2021

After a brief period of entrepreneurship and competition, the automotive industry settled into a tiered structure aligned with the assembly decomposition of the vehicle. In recent years, changes to automobiles, mobility, and energy are rapidly transforming the industry with potential to disrupt the classic roles of OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Several new large actors from outside the industry are now competing. This research leverages two methods to investigate how innovation diffusion impacts the position of Tier-1 suppliers. A system dynamic modeling approach and an empirical study were conducted for subsystems in this industry since 1990. The research progress and limitations from these methods separately, then in combination, are discussed with insights for further work and transdisciplinary studies in engineering.

Authors: Barragán-Landy Milton F. , Sousa Sérgio , Romero Fernando
Published: October 2021

Organizations internally seek to develop adaptation and resilience processes or adaptation mechanisms to cope with drastic changes in the environment in order to survive. The changes in the environment affect the perception of product and service quality by the consumer, which are related to customer satisfaction. The purpose of this work is to identify the service quality dimensions that are nested within organizations and the mechanisms to adapt its processes to the turbulent environment. Twenty-four multiple case studies in the construction sector were developed through semi-structured interviews with customers and managers. The results suggest that there are new service quality dimensions; from the customers perspective such as: requirements management and process optimization, emotional intelligence, ergonomic analysis, permanent training of masons, extra activity, monitoring and others. The adaptation mechanisms that organizations use to guarantee service quality are integral training, saved budget, paradigm change, management system, teamwork, and others.
Associative Data-Process Model in Manufacturing Systems: Application Case in Automotive Industry
Authors: Rosolem Letícia Alves dos Santos , Castro Alexandre da Costa , Deschamps Fernando , Lima Edson Pinheiro de
Published: October 2021

Considering the advent of Industry 4.0 and development of Cyber-Physical Systems, a large amount of data has been collected in production systems. Available business process recommendations, presented in Business Process Management Notation and Case Management Model Notation frameworks, have been enough to represent the systemic and relational characteristics of production systems and their components. Recommendations for data life-cycle management do not consider explicitly combining the elements of the modeled process and the representative data of the production system assets. In fact, process flows can represent data generated or consumed but do not have an explicit associated action to their data: generation, transformation and consumption. From a Performance Analytics perspective, approaching data and processes in an associated way can be an advantageous practice in management and decision-making. This study uses one investigative experience in the automotive industry, from two aspects: the As-Is mapping of a segment of the measurement system after the welding step, and the design and implementation of Big Data Analytics architecture related to the same process. The result is a proposal of an associative framework between processes and related data, which are following the recommendations of currently applied frameworks for Business Process Management and Big Data Analytics.

Authors: Vieira Jaison , Deschamps Fernando , Valle Pablo Deivid
Published: October 2021

Planning and scheduling are important functions for industrial systems to operate effectively. Their principal aim is to detail how production resources will be used so that its demand is timely met. In literature, there are several works that propose mathematical models for production planning and scheduling for different production scenarios, accounting for different resources configurations and other limitations. However, it was only recently that advanced planning and scheduling systems (APS), making use of these models, started being more widely used and discussed. This work presents the results of a systematic literature review, developed by applying the ProKnow-C method, on APS systems. An overview of the main publications is provided, classifying them in new methods, models or approaches; heuristic approaches; Lagrangian relaxation techniques; and genetic algorithms. The future of APS systems is also discussed, particularly regarding difficulties such as human dependence, use of spreadsheets, and their role in Industry 4.0 with the use of technologies such as the RFID and Cloud computing.

Published: October 2021

Currently, in the context of equipment maintenance, new techniques for replacing parts and components are being discussed in order to ensure better performance. Seeking to optimize this process, this research proposes the development of a conceptual model that should work as methodology for the manufacture of replacement parts using the tools and concepts of Advanced Manufacturing. The research uses a methodology that excels in pre-processing information before modelling. First, a bibliographic research was carried out to obtain knowledge about Advanced Manufacturing in Industry 4.0, with emphasis on the domains of Additive Manufacturing, with a focus on testing by software. The method consists of the previous Project Feasibility Analysis, the Metrology fundamentals for data collection, until the manufacture of the part to be replaced. According to the analyses provided in this study, the results obtained meet the proposed criteria, in order to certify the quality of manufactured parts and making them feasible in terms of time and values. The research demonstrated an alternative to the traditional models of the maintenance process, using new techniques based on the Advanced Manufacturing models.

Authors: Skarka Wojciech , Alegaze Mikir
Published: October 2021

This paper presents a method of automating design that has the potential to significantly improve the design process. The intent is to develop a design automation system that is an integration of several methods in a holistic approach for use. The automation Generative Design approach allows the reuse of wing design data and parameters. For this purpose, Generative Design methodologies are discovered to enhance the system building. This example of an analyzed wing structure to develop a compatible method to automate the design is described. The model parameterization technique is used to facilitate the generative model creation based on parameters, variables, and constraints. The use of integration in SolidWorks software function is proposed as part of an approach to support designers during both the generative model-building phase of the design process and simulation verification phase. Finally, an example and validation process is presented. The aim is to quickly and cost-effectively validate analytical results from the developed process. The proposed process adopts flexibility to acquire the intended model on different sizes and purposes, likewise, it is shown how the implemented approach makes it possible to automate the generation of generative models for FEM analysis.

Authors: Trappey A.J.C. , Trappey C.V. , Kuo R.R.T. , Lin A.P.C.
Published: October 2021

Virtual reality technology enables people to interact with objects in three-dimensional simulated environments. The technology has been applied in many fields such as entertainment, education, and healthcare. Health treatment applications include psycho therapeutical treatments for post-traumatic stress disorders related to driving phobias. Patents that have been filed for treating patients diagnosed with driving phobias are searched and collected using global patent platforms including Derwent Innovation’s solution. Patent analytic methods, including clustering, key term frequency analysis, correlation matrix creation, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), and technology function matrix mapping, are applied to analyze the patent portfolio and identify key technology development trends. The research goal is to identify patent strategies related to driving-related virtual reality psychotherapy treatment. The research identifies six technology clusters, including virtual reality technologies, vehicle driving simulations, diagnosis of driving phobia through bio-signal analysis, and artificial intelligence for health systems. Based on the cluster analysis, virtual reality related patents are increasing over the last decade. A lesser number of patents focus on virtual reality technology that includes exposure therapy for driving phobia treatment. The patent mining results show that virtual reality exposure therapy for driving phobias is still in the growth stage. There is a research gap for new treatments for driving phobias and other phobias such as post-traumatic stress disorder, which have great potential for transdisciplinary engineering research.
Enhancing Human Perspectives in CPS Models: Application to Collaborative Problem-Solving in Translational Medicine
Authors: Sato Keiichi , Hu Fei , Basapur Santosh , Shah Raj C. , Hartvigsen Gunnar
Published: October 2021

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) have been developed for providing seamless, resilient and high-fidelity services in areas such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, transportation and everyday living. Yet, conceptual and methodological frameworks of CPS that effectively incorporate human perspectives have not been well addressed in research and practice. The success of system design can only be achieved when all stakeholders can mentally and behaviorally position the system in the complex environments and situations by forming user knowledge and meanings through the system lifecycle. Such close human-system collaboration in CPS would enable the real-world system performance such as adaptivity, robustness and resilience in dynamic environments. The goal of this research is to enhance human perspectives by introducing a semiotic framework for representing different aspects of human and organizational meaning formation. It also intends to explore how the semiotic approach can be integrated with Human System Integration (HSI), CPS or Cyber Physical Human Systems (CPHS) methodologies to further enhance human perspectives in CPS lifecycles by transdisciplinary approaches. The paper then introduces an early stage of the project that applies the approach to represent a collaborative problem-solving infrastructure for clinical research process innovation in a multi-institutional translational medicine organization.

In the search to maintain the integrity of all systems and components over the span of the product’s life, a tightly integrated risk management process and system shall enable a discrete but frequent enough calculation method. The challenge is finding a methodology where risk management is living, concomitant process throughout the lifecycle, which is cumulative, so the risk assessments refine with the product’s definition while adhering to a tightly regulated enviroment for medical devices. This process needs be fully embedded in the PLM processes so it is able to accompany the product at any change throughout its life. The Multi-interfaces Entity Model (MIEM) was introduced integrated with a summative risk management concept that allows an incremental risk analysis, while the entities in the MIEM are refined. The results were a recursive methodology that supported with a PLM integrated risk management, can be automated to make sure the risk assessment is complete, re-usable and configurable as an additional PLM function. The focus of this paper lies on the generation of the functional structure of a product which is connected with the Multi-interfaces Entity Model. This allows to create a configured design structure, applying recursively the same cumulative properties of the risk assessment where a new configuration would create new interfaces.

A hierarchical multiprocessor system designed to control complex production facilities is investigated. It is shown that distributed computing in such systems is performed at the strategic, tactical and functional-logical levels. Since the control process unfolds in real physical time, in which both digital controllers and a control computer operate, when developing software for such systems, the problem of estimating the time complexity of control algorithms arises. A matrix equation is obtained that describes a closed multi-loop control system, in which data asymmetry and pure delays are taken into account. It is shown that time delays worsen the characteristics of transient processes during the transition of an object to a steady state of operation. A method for soft estimation of time complexity is developed, based on the sequential simplification of the semi-Markov process, represented by the algorithm, with recalculation of its time characteristics at each step. It is shown that the method allows one to estimate both data distortions and delays in the feedback loops.

After being introduced to approximate two-dimensional geographical surfaces in 1971, the multivariate radial basis functions (RBFs) have been receiving a great amount of attention from scientists and engineers. In 1987 the idea was extended into the construction of neural networks corresponding to the beginning of the era of artificial intelligence, forming what is now called ‘Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNs)’. Ever since, RBFNs have been developed and applied to a wide variety of problems; approximation, interpolation, classification, prediction, in nowadays science, engineering, and medicine. This also includes numerically solving partial differential equations (PDEs), another essential branch of RBFNs under the name of the ‘Meshfree/Meshless’ method. Amongst many, the so-called ‘Multiquadric (MQ)’ is known as one of the mostly-used forms of RBFs and yet only a couple of its versions have been extensively studied. This study aims to extend the idea toward more general forms of MQ. At the same time, the key factor playing a very crucial role for MQ called ‘shape parameter’ (where selecting a reliable one remains an open problem until now) is also under investigation. The scheme was applied to tackle the problem of function recovery as well as an approximation of its derivatives using six forms of MQ with two choices of the variable shape parameter. The numerical results obtained in this study shall provide useful information on selecting both a suitable form of MQ and a reliable choice of MQ-shape for further applications in general.

As the largest number of fasteners on power distribution network, bolts are the cornerstone of ensuring the safety and reliability of power system. However, pin losting, nut losting, nut loosening, and rusting can cause damage to power system and even cause terrible accidents. In order to solve the problem that the large number of bolt defects causes traditional manual identification to be difficult and inefficient, this paper proposes a bolt defect identification algorithm based on attention models. The method in this paper improves the traditional deep residual network ResNet network, adds a channel attention mechanism to obtain key channel features, and uses random flipping, translation and other data augment methods to expand the bolt defect dataset. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional model, the improved model can more accurately identify different types of bolt defect images, and the mAP on the testing set reaches 85.9%, which verifies the feasibility and reliability of the ATT-ResNet50 model in bolt defect recognition. The method proposed in this paper has high recognition accuracy, realizes the intelligent recognition of common bolt defects.

Mass Ratio Variance Majority Undersampling and Minority Oversampling Technique for Class Imbalance
Authors: Polvimoltham Piboon , Sinapiromsaran Krung
Published: October 2021

A sampling method is one of the popular methods to deal with an imbalance problem appearing in machine learning. A dataset having an imbalance problem contains a noticeably different number of instances belonging to different classes. Three sampling techniques are used to solve this problem by balancing class distributions. The first one is an undersampling technique removing noises from a class having a large number of instances, called a majority class. The second one is an over-sampling technique synthesizing instances from a class having a small number of instances, called a minority class, and the third one is the combined technique of both undersampling and oversampling. This research applies the combined technique of both undersampling and oversampling via the mass ratio variance scores of instances from each individual class. For the majority class, instances with high mass ratio variances are removed whereas for the minority class, instances with high mass ratio variances are used in synthesizing minority instances. The results of this proposed sampling technique help improve recall over standard classifiers: a decision tree, a random forest, Linear SVM, MLP on all synthesized datasets; however it may have low precision. So the combined measure of precision and recall is used, F1-score. Recall and F1-scores of synthesized datasets and UCI datasets are significantly better for collections of datasets having small imbalance ratio. Moreover, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test is used to confirm the improvement for datasets having imbalance ratio smaller than or equal to 0.2.
Short Note on “Nonlinear Optimization Problem Subjected to Fuzzy Relational Equations Defined by Dubois-Prade Family of t-Norms”

Published: October 2021

This short note aims to make some modification for improving the results presented in [1]. A. Ghodousian et al. discussed the resolution of a system of max-Dubois-Prade fuzzy relation equations based on their proposed index sets Ji, i ∈ I. It is found that not every e ∈ E = J1 × J2 × ⋯ × Jm corresponds to a solution. To overcome this flaw, we modify the expression of the index sets, denoted by J=i , i ∈ I. Based on the modified index sets, resolution of the max-Dubois-Prade fuzzy relation equations becomes easier, regarding the computational cost.
