Published: April 2019

The objective of the test procedure is to obtain bio signals from Photoplethysmograph and Electrocardiograph sensors on selected consumer devices and to statistically validate the data for use with a drowsiness estimation method.The method selected for validation uses LF/HF ratio calculated by a set of R-R interval data to estimate drowsiness state of a human. The value LF to HF ratio calculates balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity that can be measured from HRV (Heart rate variability) signals. The statistical data collected are processed by using Fast Fourier Transform and HRV frequency domain analysis on a set of test participants.There is a correlation between medical ECG equipment control output and Matlab tool’s HRVAS (Burg) output of data processed from ECG based wearable smart sensor when the LF/HF ratio is calculated in all observed volunteer data. The results for Photoplethysmograph sensors of this test correlate with other tested tools but level of the values is lower, and data from optical biosensor devices which are designed to measure HRV time-domain properties as pulse did not confirm with ECG equipment results for frequency-domain analysis required for use with selected drowsiness estimation method. The result affecting factors are sensor placement, motion artefacts and discrete vendor-specific signal pre-processing of wearable device output data.The following results confirm the use of consumer grade biosensor that produces discretely pre-processed R-R interval data for the frequency based HRV method and application validation against directly processed ECG data from certified medical equipment.

Fire spreading is one of the visualization techniques used for re-enacting or envisions the fire incidents for conducting the post-incidents’ responses and analysing the incidents for post-mortem purposes. There are several current researches on the fire spreading incidents that involve the construction of fire spreading simulation which has focusing on the fire development, smoke control, the prediction of temperature distribution during the fire spreading, emergency response’s plans and post-fire damage assessment. However, there are more features need to be explored in the fire spreading simulation and also the pedestrians movement of the affected incident’s area for the future space design development, arrangement and structural improvement that are impactful towards human safety and also useful for the justification and prediction on the pedestrian survival rate during any panic situations. Hence, this research has focusing on the features of realistic scaling of the spatial layout and implementing the Cellular Automata (CA) approach for imitating the near-realistic pedestrian self-organizing movement and fire spreading characteristics at the microstructure level for designing the heat map of the affected area to show the clogging region in the spatial layout while constructing a reliable prediction on the pedestrian survival rate. This clogging region mapping will be useful for finding the existing issues that lead towards high casualties. Based on the experiments and observations, the heat map of the affected area showed the heavy congestions happened specifically near to the ingress/ egress points and narrow pathways that had affected the pedestrian flow rate and caused the 75% of the 352 pedestrians in the spatial layout to burn and die during the fire simulation by unintentionally taking an extra of 43.85 seconds more than the total fire spreading time (13.42 seconds) to evacuate from the closed area building.

Published: April 2019

A Cart Inverted Pendulum System is an unstable, nonlinear and underactuated system. This makes a cart inverted pendulum system used as a benchmark for testing many control method. A cart must occupy the desired position and the angle of the pendulum must be in an equilibrium point. System modeling of a cart inverted pendulum is important for controlling this system, but modeling using assumptions from state-feedback control is not completely valid. To minimize unmeasured state variables, state estimators need to be designed. In this paper, the state estimator is designed to complete the state-feedback control to control the cart inverted pendulum system. The mathematical model of the cart inverted pendulum system is obtained by using the Lagrange equation which is then changed in the state space form. Mathematical models of motors and mechanical transmissions are also included in the cart inverted pendulum system modeling so that it can reduce errors in a real-time application. The state gain control parameter is obtained by selecting the weighting matrix in the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) method, then added with the Leuenberger observer gain that obtained by the pole placement method on the state estimator. Simulation is done to determine the system performance. The simulation results show that the proposed method can stabilize the cart inverted pendulum system on the cart position and the desired pendulum angle.

Fabrication of 3D microchannels for tissue engineering in photosensitive glass using NIR femtosecond laser radiation
Authors: Brokmann Ulrike , Milde Tobias , Rädlein Edda , Liefeith Klaus
Published: April 2019

The biocompatibility of photosensitive glasses allows various biomedical applications; one is the field of tissue engineering and more precisely microengineered tissue-on-a-chip platforms to study the tissue microenvironment and disease modelling. Three dimensional architectures of adapted components are required for modern materials. A photosensitive lithiumalumosilicate glass FS21 was investigated regarding the interaction with a Ti:Sapphire laser systemto build three dimensional buried channels inside the glass. Femtosecond laser radiation with a wavelength of 800 nm and pulse duration of 140 fs was used to modify the glass structure. Subsurface channel geometries were achieved by a subsequent thermal treatment and were formed into capillaries using wet chemical etching of the exposed and crystallised channels. Contrary to ultraviolet (UV) exposure, spectral optical investigations showed that fs laser exposure caused various radiation induced defects in the base glass coupled with the generation of photoelectrons for the photochemical modification of silver ions. We observed an outgassing of different species coming from raw materials of the original glass batch during the glass crystallisation process. Etch rate ratios differ between 1:25 and 1:45 and are dependent on: stoichiometric deviation between surface and bulk, crystal size and distribution and exchange of the etching agent in narrow capillaries.
Influence of Magnesia on Demoulding Strength of Colloidal Silica-Bonded Castables
Authors: Zhang Yang , Zhu Lingling , Chen Liugang , Liu Luoqiang , Ye Guotian
Published: April 2019

The change in demoulding strength of colloidal silica-bonded castables with and without magnesia is investigated with emphasis on the relationship between the demoulding strength and chemical bond changes. It was confirmed that the demoulding strength was raised with the presence of magnesia in colloidal silica-bonded castables because of the increased chemical bonding between the sol particles. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicate the formation of new Si–O–Mg chemical bond from the decreased O 1s and Si 2p binding energy, and the appearance of weak vibration peaks at 668 and 419 cm−1 in the spectrum of colloidal silica with the addition of MgO after curing at 30°C for 24 hours. The reaction between colloidal silica and magnesia could promote the formation of –Si–O–Mg–O–Si–bonds, which is the primary reason for the demoulding strength improvement.

Published: April 2019

Stem cell therapy has indicated a promising treatment capacity for tissue regeneration. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune-based chronic disease, in which the myelin sheath of the central nervous system is destructed. Scientists have not discovered any cure for multiple sclerosis, and most of the treatments are rather palliative. The pursuit of a versatile treatment option, therefore, seems essential. The immunoregulatory and non-chronic rejection characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells, as well as their homing properties, recommend them as a prospective treatment option for multiple sclerosis. Different sources of mesenchymal stem cells have distinct characteristics and functional properties; in this regard, choosing the most suitable cell therapy approach seems to be challenging. In this review, we will discuss umbilical cord/blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells, their identified exclusive properties compared to another adult mesenchymal stem cells, and the expectations of their potential roles in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Doing Science in Futureless Times. War, Political Engagement, and National Mission in Croatian Ethnology during the 1990s
Authors: Cosovschi Agustín
Published: April 2019

From a perspective rooted in intellectual and cultural history, the author
accounts for the profound disciplinary transformations undergone by ethnology as
practised at the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research (IEF) in Zagreb,
Croatia, during the early 1990s. In a context shaped by the Yugoslav breakup and
the outbreak of war, and also as a result of theoretical transformations that
had taken place in Croatian ethnology during the previous decade, many
researchers at this institute undertook a new ethnological practice that
involved among other things the questioning of the notion of objectivity and the
redefinition of the political role of the ethnologist. The author analyses these
changes in terms of converging factors, namely the theoretical influences coming
from American, French, and German scholarship, the disciplinary crisis caused by
a self-perception of social marginality, and the radical and violent
sociopolitical transformations of the early 1990s.
Permanently in Transit. Middle Eastern Migrants and Refugees in Serbia
Authors: Galijaš Armina
Published: April 2019

Serbia has never been the chosen final destination for refugees from Iraq, Syria, and other beleaguered countries like Afghanistan who have embarked on the so-called Balkan route since 2015. But following the closure of this route in March 2016, between 3,500 and 4,500 migrants have found themselves living in Serbia. This article analyses the composition and changing size of the migrant population, looking at the legal status of individuals and migratory paths taken. It moves on to examine reactions to the migrants from the state authorities and the Serbian public, together with the institutional response manifested in legal measures and infrastructural facilities, and the political contexts in which decisions about these were taken. Specific attention is given to the situation of refugee children who attend state schools in Serbia. The analysis reveals a pragmatic and quite flexible administrative response to the refugees’ situation. However, the remarkable level of tolerance is largely related to awareness that the great majority of those stranded in Serbia are doing everything in their power to continue their journey into central and northern Europe—that is to leave Serbia.

Der „Chefschweiger“ und die „launische Diva“ – Nationale Selbst- und Fremdbilder in der TV-Fußballberichterstattung
Authors: Ismer Sven
Published: April 2019

Die Annahme einer engen Beziehung zwischen dem Fußball als populärster Publikumssportart in Deutschland und Vorstellungen von kollektiven Identitäten und deren Grenzen gehört zu den etablierten Denkfiguren der Sportsoziologie. Anzunehmen ist, dass insbesondere die Fußballberichterstattung zur Formung von Selbst- und Fremdbildern der Deutschen beiträgt. Die Forschungslage ist in diesem Bereich allerdings noch lückenhaft, insbesondere die TV-Berichterstattung wird nur selten empirisch in den Fokus genommen. Der vorliegende Beitrag skizziert zunächst einige theoretische Überlegungen zur Bedeutung von Fußball für nationale Selbst- und Fremdbilder, bevor anhand der Analyse zweier kurzer Videoausschnitte der Berichterstattung zur WM 2006 demonstriert wird, auf welche Weise das Genre Fußballberichterstattung zur Konstruktion von Vorstellungen über ‚das Eigene‘ und ‚die Anderen‘ beiträgt.
Research on Several Problems in the Characterization of Lightweight Cellular Materials by Low-Impedance Hopkinson Pressure Bar
Authors: Chen Longyang , Guo Hui , Guo Weiguo , Zhang Yang , Li Penghui , Yuan Kangbo
Published: April 2019

There are great challenges in studying the dynamic mechanical behavior of lightweight cellular materials by using the traditional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system because of the unique microstructure of such materials. To overcome these challenges, we present in this article a new experimental framework for dynamic loading tests of low-strength cellular materials from the elastic stage to the densification stage. Nylon is utilized as the compression bar in the SHPB system, and its low elastic modulus can cause larger displacement during dynamic loading. Meanwhile, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) inserts are attached to the bar end to prevent plastic deformation in that part, and a data correction method is employed to reduce the error caused by inserts. For the problem of wave dispersion during propagation in nylon bars, we use the in situ test method for dispersion correction to obtain more accurate results. We test a closed-cell aluminum foam by this modified SHPB test method and get ideal results. The test results of the aluminum foam show that its mechanical behavior is insensitive to the strain rate at the elastic stage and plastic collapse stage but sensitive to the strain rate at the beginning of the densification stage.
DPAC: A Tool for Differential Poly(A)–Cluster Usage from Poly(A)–Targeted RNAseq Data
Authors: Routh Andrew
Published: April 2019

Poly(A)-tail targeted RNAseq approaches, such as 3′READS, PAS-Seq and Poly(A)-ClickSeq, are becoming popular alternatives to random-primed RNAseq to focus sequencing reads just to the 3′ ends of polyadenylated RNAs to identify poly(A)-sites and characterize changes in their usage. Additionally, we and others have demonstrated that these approaches perform similarly to other RNAseq strategies for differential gene expression analysis, while saving on the volume of sequencing data required and providing a simpler library synthesis strategy. Here, we present DPAC (Differential Poly(A)-Clustering); a streamlined pipeline for the preprocessing of poly(A)-tail targeted RNAseq data, mapping of poly(A)-sites, poly(A)-site clustering and annotation, and determination of differential poly(A)-cluster usage using DESeq2. Changes in poly(A)-cluster usage is simultaneously used to report differential gene expression, differential terminal exon usage and alternative polyadenylation (APA).

Mudrakov – Thesis II) peculiarities of such models in the process of creation of "the new types of a person". The process of reformatting these types and its means are studied. The process of valuing metamorphoses of Ukrainians is taken as an example. The research is limited to the Soviet period and the period of independence, which is reflected respectively in Thesis I – The Phenomenon of Homo Sovieticus and Thesis II – A Person in the Situation of Post-Homo Sovieticus. The emphasis is on the peculiarities of the value matrix of these types and their ideological potential. Originality is in the disclosure of anthropological models that correspond to the value functionality, that is, the determination and expression of the essence of a person. It is shown that certain projects, under the conditions of forced reformatting, by their value reduction are classified as inhuman. They are based on the narrative of ideological myth and deprived of the projection of the complete development of a personality. The proposed approach allows to revise the current trends of such projections and, most importantly, to predict their value potentials in the dynamics of the transformational progress of the essence of the modern Ukrainian. Conclusions. The essay reflects the process of transformation of the worldview-semantic modes, which are represented by two situations-products – the Soviet person and the contemporary. The first type is formed by the mythology of political ideology. This person is deprived of himself or herself. Their collective identity is brought up by the anthropological effect of violence and fear. The second type is very similar. This person finds himself or herself in the situation of value disorientation, nostalgic impulses and instrumental thinking. Their task is to move towards the "monad personality". This is possible by means of formation of the "own philosophy", "inherent teleology of a breakthrough", as well as by taking into account the problem of consolidation and radicalism of external factor.
EUROPEAN PLASTIC ART IN ANTHROPOLOGICAL DIMENSION: FROM THE CLASSICS TO THE POSTMODERNISM
Authors: Rusin R. M. , Liashenko I. V.
Published: April 2019

Purpose. The article is devoted to the analysis of corporality as an attribute of plastic art in the Ancient art, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the modernism and the postmodernism. Theoretical basis. The authors consider historical development of the art as a change of paradigms. Within each paradigm a special understanding of art is created, which is characterized both by the act of creativity itself and by the evaluation of its results. Particularly urgent is the task to identify the origins of these changes, to indicate their stages, the direction of the evolution of artistic creativity. In this context, corporality as a paradigm of European plastic art is considered in the article in the concrete historical dimension from the classics to the postmodernism. Originality. Postmodern experiments stimulate blurring the borders between the traditional forms and genres of art. Review of canonical ideas about the creation and destruction, order and chaos in art illustrates conscious reorientation from the classical understanding of artistic creativity to the construction of artifacts-simulacra, which is a characteristic feature in the oeuvre of contemporary artists, ranging from the pop art to the present day. Conclusions. The ideas of postmodern philosophers found their visual embodiment in modern artistic practices. Reconstruction of the body, re-switching of its elements according to the principle of chaotic collage, the interpretation of the human body as a separate substance isolated from the individual him/herself, which is presented as a phenomenon of mass culture, became the basis of the creative method of contemporary plastic art. The ideas of postmodern philosophers have found their visual embodiment in the contemporary artistic practices.
MORAL SEARCH IN MULTICULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Donnikova I. A.
Published: April 2019

Purpose of the work is to identify and justify the moral priorities in multicultural communication. Theoretical basis is the works of foreign and Ukrainian authors, revealing the main approaches to the problem of multiculturalism; studies on ethics and philosophical anthropology that define the problem field in the anthropo-logy of morality. The work uses: the conceptual provisions of phenomenology – for the disclosure of the semantic uncertainty of human existence as a prerequisite of moral search; existential philosophy – to substantiate the essential relationship of a man and culture. Originality of the results obtained consists of 1) understanding multiculturalism as a "dialogue of people" (V. Mezhuev), in which the moral search of every person is actualized; 2) in justifying the demand for inter-individual communication of "negative" ethics (A. Guseynov): its requirement not to commit immoral acts stimulates a person to moral search, reveals the specifics of the existence of a "person navigator" (S. Smirnov); 3) in the definition of intercultural communication as the creation of opportunities for the search for tolerant (non-conflict) forms of existence. Conclusions: 1) multiculturalism is a contradictory phenomenon, producing conflicts and creating prerequisites for overcoming them; 2) the possibilities of non-conflict existence in a situation of multiculturalism arise in inter-individual communication, which is a situation of moral search for every person; 3) "ethics of opportunities" unites universal and situational moral norms in multicultural communication: people enable each other to remain people; 4) "ethics of opportunities" creates conditions for tolerant (non-conflict) interaction between people and cultures.
EVENT AS A TRANSFORMATION OF EVERYDAY LIFE MODUS OF SOCIAL BEING
Authors: Boreiko Y. G.
Published: April 2019

Purpose of the study is to find out the interdependence of the event as a factor of transformations in the established areas of human life and everyday routine as a way of existence of social being, which cover various types of human activity. Theoretical basis of the research is based on understanding of everyday routine as a form of social reality, a complex and multidimensional object that is constantly evolving, includes new forms of reality, and is influenced by various social changes. The main function of everyday routine is the survival of individual and society, therefore the stable foundations of human existence play a dominant role in every life. In turn the event serves as a way of being existence, has a singular character, an individual expression, identifies elements that do not fit into the usual framework of everyday life. Originality of the obtained results lies in understanding event as the opposition of the phenomena world to the out of experience world of being, unexpected innovation that leads to the emergence of behaviours and structures that are new and unusual for everyday life. Event is not identical to empirical facticity, does not correspond to the usual understanding of phenomena and processes, and leads to a break from the everyday life, as it causes significant changes in human life on the individual and social levels. Unexpected change in everyday life caused by event is a traumatic collision with another dimension of being for an individual, as a result of it new meanings may open. Conclusions. On the background of everyday life, which is able to be in different states, function in a variety of relationships, to be manifested in numerous structures, junctions and connections, the event assumes the prospect of a new reality, contrary to previous representations. From existential point of view, event is always an interruption of everyday life, as for example, love or religious conversion. A large-scale event causes shocks that affect most or all individuals and communities that use multiple ways to react to an event – interpretation, selection, glorification, silence, valuations adjustment, phenomena, facts, celebration of holidays, rituals that are periodically repeated.
