A finite and fast time-optimal trajectory planning based on velocity sinking method for robots along specified path
Authors:   Key Laboratory of heavy duty flexible robot in mechanical industry, LanZhou University of Technology, LanZhou Gansu, China., Nan Wenhu
Published: November 2022

Time-optimal trajectory planning is used in many areas of industrial robots and has a wide range of applications. This paper presents a finite and fast computation method for calculating time-optimal robot trajectories along specified geometric paths, namely the velocity sinking method. The velocity sinking method differs from those proposed in the existing literature which solve uncertain optimization problem. Firstly, the maximum velocity in multiple state constraints is calculated using a path parameterization method. Then, the pseudo maximum velocity trajectory is calculated using a numerical integration method. Finally, the time-optimal trajectory planning under path constraints is determined using an iterative velocity sinking algorithm. The experiment demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of this method in industrial robotic settings.

For online education platforms, a personalized recommendation system is crucial, and the collaborative filtering algorithm is the primary recommendation algorithm used. This study took the recommendation of crowdfunding platforms as a sample, and enhanced the collaborative filtering algorithm based on the user score and project attribute features of the crowdfunding platform, intending to resolve the cold start issue brought on by the platform's reliance on a single data source. The study concludes with experimental proof of the paper's suggested better method. This approach can alleviate the cold start issue to some degree. The prediction accuracy has been much enhanced in comparison with the conventionally advised method. The method can also adapt to user tastes over time, learning what they like and what they don't. It also has an excellent real-time suggestion impact. The performance verification of the algorithm in this research is also conducted using data from a live crowdfunding site, lending credence to the study's claim of greater practicality.
The Cultural Determinants of FDI Inflows in Tourism: Global Evidence
Authors: Doytch Nadia , Nguyen Canh Phuc
Published: November 2022

This study analyses the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI inflows in tourism with an emphasis on the cultural determinants for a global sample of countries. More specifically, we examine the role of the presence of UNESCO heritage sites as a factor of tourism FDI. The results
show that the recognition of UNESCO heritage sites, along with domestic tourism demand are leading factors of tourism FDI. In addition, we document some interesting findings regarding the traditional determinants of tourism FDI. Economic growth, trade openness, and depreciation of the domestic
currency are found to have a positive impact, while labor force participation rate, and agricultural share in total output have a negative impact. The study also documents detailed effects of various aspects of institutional quality on tourism FDI. We find a rich set of results, including
a positive impact by better government stability, voice, and accountability, and low risk of external conflict, and mixed effects by the other aspects of institutional quality. The results imply that FDI inflows in tourism reflect both common FDI features and tourism-specific FDI motivations.
The Robots of War: Desafios Sociojurídicos ante o Avanço da Inteligência Artificial no Campo Bélico
Authors: Bettio Gabriella Miraíra Abreu
Published: November 2022

A tecnologia conquista cada vez mais relevância no espaço social. Por conseguinte, a presença da Inteligência Artificial no cotidiano das pessoas passa a se tornar mais comum, principalmente por essa possuir uma gama de aplicações. Entre estas, destaca-se o desenvolvimento de máquinas autônomas de guerra. Com relação a essas invenções, faz-se fundamental a discussão sobre os prós e contras de seu desenvolvimento. Entende-se isso, pois a partir do momento em que novas produções bélicas passam a ser desenvolvidas, novas formas de extermínio também passam a ser criadas. Nesse sentido, constata-se que os principais desafios para o Direito, nesse âmbito, é a regulamentação de tais tecnologias e os impasses que as armas autônomas de guerra enfrentam nos quesitos ético e humanitário, sendo esse o enfoque deste artigo.

Facilitating Scientific Writing and Discussion in Undergraduate Scientific Writing Course: Cover Letters as a Classroom Communication Tool
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Cho Sunam , Bae Sanghee
Published: November 2022

As the role of science in society becomes increasingly prominent, there is a rising recognition of the importance of scientific writing. However, in-class tools to teach scientific writing and effective communication to undergraduate science and engineering majors are still in need. It is not easy to clearly and effectively convey one’s argument on scientific issues based on technical knowledge through writing. It is even more difficult when you are teaching in an undergraduate scientific writing class setting where students of different science and engineering majors come together. To teach effective communication, we need to devise more specific methods to address various difficulties that students may encounter. In this study, we developed the “essay introduction letter” to facilitate scientific wrting and in-class discussions. Modelled on cover letters for academic journals, the essay introduction letter incorporates essential elements for effective science communication. In our study, students were required to write an essay introduction letter to present their argumentative essay assignment and read others’ essays before inclass discussions on each writing. We then analyzed the effects of using the letter by observation of in-class discussions and student surveys. Our findings suggest that students can more readily prepare their presentations and participate in meaningful discussions through writing and reading essay introduction letters. We hope that this study will contribute to devising specific methods to teach scientific writing and effective communication to undergraduate science and engineering majors.
Rooted Clusters for Graph LP Algebras
Authors:   Aarhus University, Denmark, Banaian Esther , Chepuri Sunita ,   Lafayette College, USA, Kelley Elizabeth ,   University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA, Zhang Sylvester W. ,   University of Minnesota, USA
Published: November 2022

LP algebras, introduced by Lam and Pylyavskyy, are a generalization of cluster algebras. These algebras are known to have the Laurent phenomenon, but positivity remains conjectural. Graph LP algebras are finite LP algebras encoded by a graph. For the graph LP algebra defined by a tree, we define a family of clusters called rooted clusters. We prove positivity for these clusters by giving explicit formulas for each cluster variable. We also give a combinatorial interpretation for these expansions using a generalization of T-paths.
DEVELOPMENT OF SPANISH VILLAGES THROUGH ORAL MEMORY: MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY EL CAMPELLO
Authors: Galiana Mercedes , Conesa Salvador , Alcaide-Ramírez Aurora
Published: November 2022

Oral memory is one amongst the most valuable sources of human knowledge, even more so nowadays when the COVID-19 pandemic has taken so many of our elders out. The personal narratives of our towns’ dwellers during the past century let us know not only their way of life, customs, and traditions, but also the morphology of the city, its layout and urban evolution, its architecture –both for family homes and monuments–, and most significant of all, the way of using said spaces. The researchers behind this paper, in partnership with Grup Salpassa and the Council of El Campello, have chosen a methodology based on the oral history to expand the knowledge of the mid-20th century village by means of a series of interviews with some octogenarian locals –shaped as thematic “micro-histories”, published on social media, and orthophotos, which are subject to urban analysis with the location of streets, public buildings, facilities, and commercial areas. All this is accompanied by moving and previously unpublished images of everyday life and festivities, which set up a stronger emotional bond and stronger terrain roots for current societies.
CONDITIONS OF THE GREEN TRANSFORMATION. THE CASE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
Authors: Cheba Katarzyna , Bąk Iwona , Pietrzak Michał Bernard
Published: November 2022

The main purpose of the paper is to identify the factors that determine the course of green transformation and to assess the current stage and possible directions of change in subsequent years in EU countries. The literature lacks comprehensive studies that show the impact of diverse types of factors on the course of green transformation. For this purpose, two perspectives of the research – economic and environmental – are usually taken into account. This paper also proposes to take social factors into account. The empirical verification was conducted using green growth indicators that are published by the OECD that were compared with factors identified from the literature review. Taxonomic (synthetic) measure of development applying the Weber median and correlation coefficient were used for searching for relationships between the identified groups of indicators described both the changes in the dimension of green growth (internal factors of green transformation) and changes in the dimension of contextual indicators (so-called external factors). The proposed way of combining the results obtained from these two methods of data analysis is also new to research in this field. Its aim is an in-depth exploration of the issue, which enables a 2-step verification of the results obtained.
Binary Evolution and Blue Stragglers in Different Regions of the Color–Magnitude Diagrams of Globular Clusters with Different Ages
Authors: Jiang Dengkai
Published: November 2022

Blue stragglers (BSs) in different regions (e.g., two sequences) of the colorâmagnitude diagram (CMD) have been suggested to provide a strong constraint on the origin of BSs in globular clusters (GCs). However, our understanding of the locations of binary-induced BSs is incomplete, e.g., its low-luminosity boundary. By employing Eggletonâs stellar evolution code, the locations of mass-transferring (MT) BS binaries and post-mass-transfer (post-MT) BS binaries are investigated in the CMDs of GCs with different ages. The results show that post-MT BS binaries always populate the region of the CMD below the ZAMS+0.75 for GCs older than 10 Gyr and can also populate the region above the ZAMS+0.75 (the region of MT BS binaries). The low-luminosity boundary of the binary-induced BSs is located near the ZAMS in a way that is independent of the age of old GCs. The BS binaries draw a narrow sequence below the ZAMS+0.75 and cover most of the BSs in NGC 362. These results support that binary evolution can explain the appearance of BSs in different regions of the CMDs of GCs with different ages, and at least a fraction of BSs along the blue sequence could be post-MT BSs. However, the theoretical gap does not exactly correspond to the observed gap in NGC 362, and the models predict an excess of BSs below ZAMS+0.75 with respect to the observations in NGC 362. Therefore, more theoretical and observational work is needed to clarify the origin of these discrepancies.
Infectious Agents Cause Immune System Dysregulation in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Alibek Kenneth , Niyazmetova Luiza , Farmer Sean , Isakov Terence
Published: November 2022

The most recent studies and publications demonstrate the enormous role of infectious agents and chronic inflammation not only in various comorbid conditions in autistic patients but also in the dysregulation of the immune system, which in turn leads to the accumulation of immunodeficiency states and to a worsening of the autistic phenotype. Therefore, the focus of this article is on how congenital and early postnatal infections found in children with autism spectrum disorders may trigger the chain of pathological events found in autism. We discuss how some infectious agents such as Toxoplasma gondii, measles, rubella, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and herpes-simplex virus-1 and 2 are involved in the dysregulation of immunity and nervous system abnormalities. Furthermore, we want to provide recommendations for potential combined treatment methods for patients with autism with concomitant immune dysfunction.
Quel accompagnement social pour quel accès aux droits des personnes étrangères ?
Authors: Brahna Keltoum , Bombardi Muriel
Published: November 2022

Les personnes étrangères rencontrent toujours plus d’obstacles pour accéder aux services publics, les effets de la dématérialisation venant s’ajouter à la barrière de la langue et à la connaissance insuffisante de leurs droits. Parallèlement, la transformation du mode de gestion des services sociaux sous l’influence du « nouveau management public », au prix de multiples entorses aux principes fondateurs du travail social, empêchent les agents d’accompagner efficacement les personnes qui auraient plus que jamais besoin d’un tel accompagnement.
Clap de fin pour l’accueil dans les services de l’emploi

Understanding the challenges and opportunities encountered by the elderly in urban KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Kasiram M. , Hölscher D.
Published: November 2022

Background: This article is based on research conducted by students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal as part of the coursework requirements in the research module in social work in students’ final year of study. Although each student conducted only one interview, when combined, the rich data allowed students and lecturers (the authors of this article) to glean significant understandings pertaining to the needs and problems of the elderly in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Methodology: Qualitative paradigm using exploratory and descriptive designs and an interview guide.Results and conclusion: The findings highlight the insecurity and vulnerability of the elderly, specifically pointing to their social and emotional neglect, with family members taking advantage of these positions of want; their living circumstances where they were exposed to crime and/or living in cramped conditions because of accommodating family members who did not have their own homes; uninvited grandparenting responsibilities; poverty and food insecurity suffered by them as well as unresolved health concerns. Finally, the article concludes with recommendations for both future research and services.

Published: November 2022

Background: Hypothyroidism is a common clinical condition confronting all healthcare practitioners yet there remains uncertainty about the optimal medication and optimum treatment targets. In addition, many patients remain symptomatic despite using recommended medications and attaining recommended treatment targets.Methods: All endocrinologists in South Africa who consented to be part of the guideline process were assigned various aspects of the management of patients with thyroid disease. In each section the current literature was reviewed and the level of evidence was graded. This information was then presented at a guideline meeting. Where evidence was lacking a consensus among participants was adopted.Results: This guideline provides 11 recommendations for the management of primary hypothyroidism, secondary hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism in adults.Conclusions: This is the first South African guideline for the management of hypothyroidism in adults and represents a comprehensive review of the current literature in an attempt to provide evidence-based guidance for all healthcare practitioners regarding the many clinical aspects encountered when managing patients with hypothyroidism
Platelet-rich plasma in clinical practice
Authors: Siebert Heidi
Published: November 2022

The concept of using a patient’s own blood or components thereof (autologous), to enhance the physiological process of healing has been in place for many years. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used for both soft tissue and bone healing and rejuvenation. PRP has also been used in orthopaedics for bone, tendon and muscle injuries, dentistry for dental implants, dermatology for wound healing, and in pathological conditions such as alopecia aereata. However, more recently, it has been used in the fast-growing field of aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine for skin rejuvenation. PRP seems like a logical, safe, relatively, cheap and easy procedure, but is this the case? Although safety and improved short-term outcomes for orthopaedic indications have been demonstrated in a few reviews, long-term improvement has not been demonstrated. Randomised controlled trials in dermatology and aesthetic indications are sparse, but show promise for alopecia areata and skin rejuvenation.
Clinical Evaluation and Parental and Child Satisfaction with Restoration of Primary Teeth using Zirconia and Stainless Steel Crowns
Authors: Bhatt Rohan , Shah Dipti , Patel Megha , Khurana Srushti
Published: November 2022

Introduction:

Full-coronal restoration is the choice of treatment for restoring pulpally treated tooth or tooth with multiple surface involvement. In paediatric dentistry, semi-permanent stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are considered gold standard, but with increasing need of aesthetics, zirconia crowns have started gaining importance. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the clinical performance of SSCs and zirconia crowns and to compare the child satisfaction and parental ratings of impact of treatment using these preformed crowns.

Materials and Methodology:

This study was a part of randomised controlled trial performed on 60 children of 4–8 years old. The primary molars were cemented with either SSCs or zirconia crowns and were evaluated clinically at baseline, 6-month and 12-month follow-up for crown retention, crown fracture, gingival and debris index, wear, marginal integrity and recurrent caries. The trials also evaluated parental satisfaction and child satisfaction based on five-point Likert scale at the end of 12-month follow-up. The data were analysed using Chi-square test for categorical data and independent sample t-test for quantitative data.

Results:

Both the crowns were 100% retentive at 12-month follow-up. Fair debris score and mild gingivitis were reported in 3% with SSC at 6–12 months. One zirconia crown fractured at 12 months. Fifty-four per cent of parents in zirconia and 57% in SSC stated that the crowns improved masticatory function. Children reported a mean Likert score of 3.0 for SSC and 4.89 for zirconia which was highly significant.

Conclusion:

Both the crowns increased the overall health of crowned tooth and were fully retentive for the studied duration. However, zirconia crowns were more gingival friendly and had an edge over SSC in terms of aesthetics.
Gut Parasites of medical importance harboured by Musca domestica in Calabar, Nigeria
Authors: Otu-Bassey Iquo Bassey , Efretuei Glory Kingsley , Mbah Maurice
Published: November 2022

Introduction:

Housefly (Musca domestica), because of its body structure, filthy and feeding habits, is reported to be capable of carrying a variety of microbes, including potential pathogens, over its body appendages.

Aims:

This study aimed to investigate M. domestica in Calabar for pathogenic gut parasites, determine its role in parasitic diseases transmission, make appropriate recommendations toward its management and effective control of the associated parasitic diseases, and hence promote the society health status.

Settings and Design:

This was a cross-sectional study.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 300 M. domestica specimens (150 each from sanitary and insanitary areas, pooled in batches of five flies per pool) were used for the study. The parasites were detected from the spun deposits of fly body surface wash and gut contents using direct microscopy and formol-ether technique.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 21.0, and Chi-square test at a significant level of P < 0.05.

Results:

Overall frequency of parasites detection was 46.7%, with helminths and protozoa showing similar frequency, 23.3% each. External body surface of flies recorded a statistically significant higher parasites frequency 76.7% than their gut contents 16.7% (P = 0.000). A statistically significant higher parasite detection rate was observed in the insanitary (63.3%) than in sanitary areas (30.0%) (P = 0.0114). The parasites detected in this study were Entamoeba histolytica/dispar 39.9%, hookworm (21.4%), Ascaris lumbricoides (17.9%), Trichuris trichiura (14.3%), and Giardia intestinalis (7.2%).

Conclusion:

This study has confirmed M. domestica in Calabar as a mechanical carrier of potential pathogenic gut parasites, especially in the insanitary areas, with E. histolytica/dispar being the most frequently encountered. Effective control of flies’ population in the human and animal habitats and increased public awareness on their health hazards are recommended.

The major contribution in this research paper is concerned with the development of a humanoid robot using edge detection technique which selects features of the principal parts of the object and eliminates parts that are not necessary. The developed prototype of the motorized robot shows that robots in real life exhibit some level of intelligence. In the design process, the model of a humanoid robot was developed first using the simulink library tools in Matlab/Simulink environment. This research paper has improved autonomous path finding robots by incorporating very powerful and well-structured program/codes that gives the robot the ability to predict and make smart decision lending to efficient execution of desired assignment (picking of dirt in the surrounding).Result shows that the developed robot has simplified the way No robot interacts with object thereby saving cost and energy. A motorized autonomous path finding robot was designed and constructed to demonstrate the working principle of robot. The motorized robot and the humanoid robot have the capability to detect obstacle along its part at 30cm away from the obstacle. When the robot is switched on, it initializes after which forward movement until it gets 30cm closer to an obstacle it then stops, reverse backwards and then change direction. When it moves 30cm close to another obstacle, it stops reverse backwards, then turns left or right to another direction, and will continue to behave that way until the power button is switched off.

The aim of this paper is to develop and implement a prototype home automation system that uses the Internet-of-Things technology. It is focused on the need to deal with the existing challenges of high cost of ownership, inflexible architecture, and lack of security of those smart systems that are commercially available nowadays. The implement system consists of a microcontroller which uses a web server application to connect some home appliances to the Internet through a relay module and a mobile application. The microcontroller is for receiving and processing the commands from homeowners to monitor or control the required appliances at home and for transmitting the necessary signals to the relay module for the automatic operation of the appliances. The microcontroller maintains the database of all the appliances as well as all the authorized users of the home automation system. The web server app is also used for communication between the Internet and the mobile phone. The mobile application was developed using the Android platform. The Android app acts as the software dashboard that presents the users with a list of devices to interact with in the smart home. The materials used in this paper are inexpensive and readily available. The result of this work was tested in real life to prove its effectiveness and usefulness. And the findings have not only validated the relevance of this work but also highlighted its significance in the digital world of today.

The main questions addressed in this paper are: a) Are connective relations used explicitly or implicitly together with repetitions? b) Which discourse relations are being used with repetitions? c) Do translators translate repetitions or omit them? The analysis shows that speakers of TED Talks mostly prefer to use these repetitions in their speeches with implicit discourse relations (66.6%), and translators translate them through implicit forms (54.8%). Moreover, the dominantly explicit usage of and in repetitive structures shows that the relations can be associated with an explicit connective and. Accordingly, ExpansionConjunction (addition) relations are frequently being used with repetitions at the beginning (73.8%). Also, mostly, the translators tend to omit repetitions at the beginning (92.9%).

Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is a medicinal and aromatic plant of commercial interest; it can be grown in salinized soils by applying a stress mitigator. The objective was to evaluate the biochemical response of two basil varieties inoculated with AMF Rhizophagus fasciculatus and appraise its usefulness as a NaCl-stress mitigator. A completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement, four replicates per treatment and four plants per replicate was used. Three factors were considered, (1) two basil varieties (Napoletano and Nufar); (2) three NaCl concentrations (0, 50 and 100 mM); and (3) R. fasciculatus inoculum absence or presence (0 and 10 g). The variables evaluated were a substrate chemical analysis; shoot (STP) and root (RTP) total protein content; shoot (SP) and root (RP) proline content; shoot (SGA) and root (RGA) glutathione peroxidase activity; spore count and colonization. The spore content was 50 to 70 spores per gram of inoculum. The STP and RTP were highest in both varieties in 0 mM with AMF and decreased in Napoletano in 100 mM. The SP and RP were highest in Nufar in 50 and 100 mM with AMF and lowest in Napoletano in 0 and 50 with AMF. The SGA and RGA were highest in Napoletano in 50 and 100 mM with AMF. The colonization was high; however, decreased as NaCl increased. These results suggest that inoculation with AMF has a positive effect to mitigate NaCl-stress and a biochemical benefit for basil plants.

The relevance of the study of the evolutionary mechanisms of the interaction of objects of animate and inanimate nature with various types of radiation and fields, the source of which is the Sun, is substantiated. Conducting such studies is currently difficult due to the growing level of electromagnetic pollution of the environment. This does not allow carrying out experimental studies using real natural radiations and fields. They are possible only with the use of specialized hardware and software devices for their simulation. The presented materials of the article reflected the description of the original hardware and software tools for modeling the microwave radiation of the Sun and natural magnetospheric disturbances. When developing these devices, modern ideas about the frequency-time structure of radiation and fields of natural origin were used. The already existing positive experience of using the device for simulating solar microwave radiation in assessing the interaction of radiation generated by it with biological objects was also noted. First of all, it is associated with a decrease in the resistance properties of microorganisms, disaggregation of erythrocytes, etc. Such results, according to the authors, are associated with excitation in biological structures under the influence of natural radiation of elastic vibrations. They are also possible in the study of abiogenic materials. The features of their excitation when using natural radiations and fields are determined. The results of research using the developed hardware and software tools can be used as the basis for the creation of new technologies for reducing the influence of the technogenic factor on the life process of organisms. They will also find application in the development of methods for the synthesis of new abiogenic structures.

Nitrogen dioxide causes great harm to the environment when it released into the atmospheric air. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and determine the concentration of NO2 in the air with fast response gas sensors. In recent years, sensors based on semiconductor metal oxides have attracted ever-increasing attention. This interest is mainly related to their properties (magnetic, optical, electrical and catalytic). In this paper, we present a technique for obtaining oriented nickel oxide fibers for use as an active element in a nitrogen dioxide gas sensor. Obtaining oriented nickel oxide fibers was carried out by two-stage synthesis at a temperature of 70°C by reducing nickel chloride N𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖2 ∙ 6𝐻𝐻2𝑂𝑂 in an alkaline medium in the presence of a magnetic field. The process was followed by thermal oxidation in air. A silicon substrate was used as the basis of the active element. The appearance of oriented nickel oxide fibers was studied using a confocal microscope.
