Model Predictive Control of Nonlinear MIMO Systems Based on Adaptive Orthogonal Polynomial Networks
Authors: Milojkovic Marko T. , Djordjevic Andjela D. , Peric Stanisa Lj. , Milovanovic Miroslav B. , Peric Zoran H. , Dankovic Nikola B.
Published: April 2021

This paper considers a new design of model predictive control based on specific models in the form of adaptive orthogonal polynomial networks, built around a specially tailored basis of generalized orthogonal functions. Polynomial model has a single layer structure and a smaller number of model parameters than classical neural networks, usually used for model predictive control design, leading to lower complexity and shorter calculation time. Desired property of adaptability of the model is achieved by using additional variable factors inside the orthogonal basis. The designed controller was applied in control of twin-rotor aero-dynamic system as a representative of nonlinear multiple input-multiple output systems and compared to the other state-of-the-art control algorithms.
Disciplinary language at school: Sites of integration in content-and-language-integrated learning (CLIL)
Authors: Hüttner Julia
Published: April 2021

The teaching of languages in Europe emphasises the learning of English, increasingly with a view towards using it in a professional and academic environment. One development over the last few decades in response to this demand for more specialised English proficiency has been the introduction of Content-and-Language-Integrated Learning (CLIL). One of the major benefits of CLIL lies in its potential in fostering language abilities that relate directly to the school subjects taught through the integrated learning of new content and new aspects of the foreign language. I aim to contribute here to our conceptualisation of this nexus by positing and presenting evidence for a dual perspective of disciplinary language. This definition embraces both the production of lexico-grammatical and discursive patterns appropriate to the subject being taught and the verbal and multimodal practices associated with acquiring them.
Women in love against the underworld: “Female savior” scenario in English, Russian and Turkish folklore narratives
Authors: Lapina Evgeniia
Published: April 2021

The main idea of this work was to study gender representations in the English “Ballad of Tam Lin”, the Russian fairy tale “Finist the Bright Falcon” and the Turkish tale “Patience-Stone” through the analysis of language units with implicit gender semantics. These folklore narratives have important similarities featuring the female protagonist as the main plot driver and possessor of cultural wisdom. They follow the “female savior” scenario, depicting women as decisive and challenging the traditional role of a decorative victim.

Safety and efficacy of interleukin inhibitors in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis
Authors: Đuretić Jasmina , Bufan Biljana
Published: April 2021

Elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis encompass those with elderly-onset disease, over 60 years of age, but also those with earlier disease onset who entered old age. Considering the age-related changes of the immune system, possible frailty, susceptibility to infection and concomitant comorbidity that implies multiple medicines, the treatment of these diseases in elderly patients can be challenging. Interleukin inhibitors have been shown to be an efficient and safe treatment for these diseases. However, elderly patients with these diseases were often included in the pivotal clinical trials for interleukin inhibitors in numbers insufficient to determine whether they responded differently from younger subjects. The aim of this paper was to review the findings on the efficacy and safety of interleukin inhibitor treatment in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. The findings suggest that, for all the interleukin inhibitors reviewed herein, used in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis, or with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, the efficacy was comparable to younger patients. Furthermore, the incidence of reported adverse events was similar in these two age groups. Severe adverse events, which were related to sarilumab treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and secukinumab treatment for psoriasis, were higher in elderly patients. The reviewed findings suggest that the interleukin inhibitors approved and currently in use in clinical practice for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis can be considered a safe and efficient option for these diseases in elderly patients.
Possibility of implementation and advantages of bancassurance: Bank market and insurance records in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Alihodžić Almir
Published: April 2021

Bancassurance is a term used to describe a partnership or relationship between a bank and an insurance company, where the insurance company uses a banking sales channel to sell insurance products. The implementation of banking insurance activities in the financial system contributes to the strengthening of the competitive environment, the development of new insurance products, and greater satisfaction of customer needs. The main goal of this research is to point out the importance and significance of the application of bank insurance for both financial institutions, through the analysis of financial performance indicators of both banks and insurance companies, through the aspect of income and expenses. Also, this research presents an econometric analysis that tests the impact of other income, profit/loss growth rate, as well as the cost-income ratio as independent variables and their impact on the dependent variable, i.e., return on assets of banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of the econometric analysis showed that other revenues have the greatest impact on the profitability of banks in B&H. The weakest impact on bank profitability has a cost-to-earnings ratio.
Hypotheses in historical research
Authors: Tančić Dragan , Elezović Dalibor
Published: April 2021

In all sciences, there is a general agreement that hypotheses can be defined under the rules of scientific defining. Consequently, with most authors in different sciences and scientific disciplines, it is indisputable that there is a general agreement of different theoretical and methodological directions that hypotheses are based on assumptions about the phenomenon, problem, and subject of research, which are expressed in the form of attitudes and judgments and have some cognitive value, in all sciences as well as in historical research. Hypotheses are determined by the definition of the problem, the subject of the research, and the goals of the research, primarily scientific ones. Hypotheses in all sciences, even historical ones, consist of variables and attitudes of a hypothesis that expresses the relations between variables. It is necessary to distinguish hypotheses in the process of acquiring scientific knowledge and in scientific research projects.
Effect of vortex generator on the flow field over a conventional delta wing in subsonic flow condition at higher angles of attack
Authors: Patil Manthan , Gawade Rajesh , Potdar Shubham , Nadaf Khushabu , Suresh Sanoj , Sahoo Devabrata
Published: April 2021

Flow over a conventional delta wing has been studied experimentally at a subsonic flow of 20 m/sec and the flow field developed at higher angle of attack varying from 10° to 20° has been captured. A vortex generator is mounted on the leeward surface of the delta wing and its effect on the flow field is studied. The set of wing tip vortices generated over the delta wing is captured by the oil flow visualization and the streamline over the delta wing surface captured with and without a vortex generator are compared. Based on the qualitative results, the effect of the vortex generator on the lift coefficient is anticipated. Further, force measurement is carried out to quantitatively analyze the effect of vortex generator on the lift and drag coefficient experienced by the delta wing and justify the anticipation made out of the qualitative oil flow visualization tests. In the present study, the effect of mounting of a vortex generator is found to be minimal on the lift coefficient experienced by the delta wing. However, a significant reduction in the drag coefficient with increase in angle of attack was observed by mounting a typical vortex generator.

Authors: Miletić Aleksandar , Trajković Slaviša , Mrdak Gordana
Published: April 2021

Modern businesses emphasize the significance of intellectual property and knowledge as key factors that contribute to achieving competitive advantage. This requires new approaches in management and there is more talk about knowledge management as a process that will raise business efficiency. In a knowledge-based economy, many companies create, acquire and maintain a competitive advantage in a turbulent market with the help of innovation. Innovation Project Portfolio Management is a powerful tool for achieving innovation strategy and it is extremely important that existing knowledge is used in companies and new ones are created based on them. The paper tests the findings of a reference survey conducted in Germany in 2016, which analyzes the impact of strategic orientation on the relationship between innovation portfolio management and business success. The obtained knowledge from the reference research was tested through a questionnaire answered by companies from the Republic of Serbia in order to see their application in business processes and business success.

Basic motor abilities as predictors of mastering an obstacle course designed to test motor skills
Authors: Vulin Lazar , Paspalj Darko , Gužvica Milan , Vojvodić Milenko
Published: April 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of motor abilities on mastering an obstacle course and define quantitative differences in basic motor abilities between the students awarded poor grades and the students awarded higher grades based on the result achieved on the obstacle course designed to test motor skills. The results of regression analysis demonstrated that motor abilities are important for mastering an obstacle course for testing motor skills and, on the basis of them, we may predict the result that defines the students' specific skills. Moreover, the results of the Student's t-test for independent samples demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the level of motor abilities between the students awarded poor grades and those awarded higher grades. The difference is defined by statistically significantly better values of the results achieved on motor tests: the maximum number of sit-ups (MPTP), stick mobility (MOKP), hand tapping (MTAP) and Cooper's 12 minute run test (MKUP), achieved by the students with higher grades, based on which we can assume that these variables are predictive of successful mastery of the obstacle course for testing motor skills. The results obtained might contribute to a better organization of training work in teaching, especially regarding an approach to improving motor abilities that dominantly have an impact on mastering an obstacle course designed to test motor skills.
Yacht Design Software 2.0: The Open Source Movement
Authors: Bird Mathew , Cook William F. , Hazen George S. , Ward Britton
Published: April 2021

This paper is a survey of the current state of the art of open source software for yacht design applications.

Yacht design and design tools we use have undergone numerous transformations in recent decades, the most notable being the introduction of the personal computer. Since the advent of the PC, yacht designers have been forced to create their own programs from scratch or choosing from relatively few off-the-shelf programs. Commercial software has been characterized by high expense, closed systems, and limited interoperability between applications that are difficult to fully customize or use in a collaborative manner. A lot of sneaker-netting and custom conversion code is often required. For the last several years, users in many industries have been given a new option of joining the “open source movement,” where software and the underlying code is made available for users to download, modify, improve and again make available to others. With open source, the isolated approach to custom software development can be replaced with a broad base of core capability that can be extended and shared with the larger community. Industry players collaborate on the essential elements of tools for our profession - as the saying goes, "A rising tide will lift all boats." There is still plenty of room for individuals or companies to differentiate themselves by how they use the tools and by their niche areas of expertise or experience, but the return on investing in an 'open source' set of common tools is potentially greater than its cost. In doing so, software tools are developed and improved in a collaborative manner, resulting in shorter development time and applications that are more powerful, robust and interoperable for all users. Although working in a closed environment may feel safe and secure to private actors, the lack of adequate peer review and external contribution leads to situation specific myopia. In this paper, we will survey available open source tools both general and yacht design specific that can be used, present some suggestions on integrating them into the design process and explore how the industry can improve these tools in the future.
Alpha and Rocker - Two Design Approaches that led to the Successful Challenge for the 2007 International C-Class Catamaran Championship
Authors: Killing Steve
Published: April 2021

In 2007 Canada entered its first challenge for the International C-Class Catamaran Championship and was victorious in capturing the trophy with five straight wins by Alpha CAN 6 over the venerable Cogito from the USA.

Two boats were designed for this challenge - the first was Alpha, a wingsail catamaran, which incorporated some new thinking on sail configuration and hull shape. This made it a successful evolutionary, but not revolutionary, step from the current state-of-the-art boats. Compared to Cogito, the main rival, she had a taller, narrower and thinner wing, lighter construction and more circular hull cross section. The second was Rocker, the bold hydrofoil catamaran, using hulls from the same mold as Alpha and an identical wingsail as the driving force. The daggerboard hydrofoils automatically controlled the ride height with trim tabs, while the control of the rudder elevators was left to the helmsman. Although she flew well, was very controllable, and was spectacular to watch, Rocker could not match the 20 knot plus speed of Alpha.
Implicación parental y clima motivacional de la familia desde la percepción de los padres: validación transcultural del cuestionario CMF-P
Authors: Del Prado Morales Mirtha , Alonso-Tapia Jesús , Simón Rueda Cecilia
Published: April 2021

Este estudio tiene dos objetivos. Primero, estudiar la validez del modelo de clima motivacional de la familia como indicador de implicación parental, cuando se evalúa con el cuestionario de Clima Motivacional de la Familia para padres (CMF/P). Y, segundo, hacerlo en población española y cubana con el fin de determinar las diferencias en la percepción del CMF de los padres de ambos países. Participaron 892 padres, 400 españoles y 492 cubanos. Se realizaron análisis factoriales confirmatorios, de validez cruzada y multigrupo, y análisis de fiabilidad. Los resultados muestran, tanto en España como en Cuba, la validez del Modelo teórico que subyace al cuestionario. Las ayudas que ofrecen los padres sirviendo como ejemplo a sus hijos y la estructuración del trabajo escolar en casa por parte de los padres son los factores de mayor peso en la definición del CMF. Sin embargo, la cultura moderó la configuración del CMF en varios indicadores del Modelo, mostrando diferentes maneras de actuar entre padres españoles y cubanos en la configuración de un clima familiar motivador.
 

The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate how Cuban and Spanish population are validated through CMF/P-Q studies and to determine the differences in the CMF perception of the parents of both countries.  Participants were 892 parents; from them, 400 Spanish and 492 Cubans. Among the most important results are: Both in Spain and in Cuba, the CMF / P-Q Questionnaire, supports the validity of the theoretical Model that underlying it. The help offered by parents as an example to their children and the structure of school work at home by parents are the most important factors in the definition of the CMF. The structure of the CMF in several indicators of the Model was moderated by the culture, distinguishing different ways of acting between Spanish and Cuban parents in an agreement of a motivating family climate.

Bogafbrændingen af Andersen Nexø-værker i Sorø i 1939
Authors: Torm Helge
Published: April 2021

I disse år er det forkastelige fænomen bogbrænding blevet mere og mere praktiseret, dog ikke i Danmark.... Selv om der trods alt næppe i dag er nogen dansker, der i en eller anden given situation vil slå til lyd for, at man kaster bøger på bålet, så er bogbrænding dog historisk set ikke et ukendt fænomen herhjemme,men det ligger for de ældste tilfældes vedkommende langt tilbage i tiden - men der er altså også forekommet nogle fa i nyere tid. De var godt nok på mange måder beskedne, men det gør dem ikke principielt mindre interessante. Jeg tænker her på den række af bogbrændinger, der fandt sted sidst i 1939, med en bogbrænding i Sorø som den i samtiden mest omtalte og derfor i eftertiden også som det bedst kendte eksempel på denne danmarkshistoriens seneste bølge af flammende bogdestruktion.Det er bogbrændingen, som udspillede sig i Sorø, og som var den første i en række, som denne artikel vil tage op til nøjere behandling.

Forskningsbibliotekerne mellem to kommissioner
Authors: Thorsen Leif
Published: April 2021

I forrige århundrede dækkede betegnelsen kommission de to synonyme begreber i vort århundrede - udvalg og kommission. En kommission nedsættes i dag som led i et lovforberedende arbejde, medens et udvalg ikke behøver at have et så målrettet sigte. Begge afslutter deres arbejde med en betænkning, som samler overvejelserne i en række forslag, men det er lovgiverne eller de administrative myndigheder, der afgør, om forslagene føres ud i livet.
Kiøbenhavn vilde kunne lære meget af PoughkeepsieC J. Foghs bibliotekslovsforslag fra 1854og dets amerikanske baggrund

I dag flyder strømmen af oplysninger om USA til os i ganske rigt mål. I midten af forrige århundrede vidste man ikke så meget. Allerede i 1833 vidste Emil og Peter i Flugten til Amerika, at rigdomme var lette at fa tag i derovre, det var kun at bukke sig, og i et brev hjem fra Poughkeepsie, lidt nord for New York, fortæller huslærer Fogh i begyndelsen af 1850erne, at »Artisten Borup er her og mange andre Danske, af hvilke de fleste løbe af Frygt for Udskrivning til Armeen fra deres Hiem ofte uden at kiende Sproget og næsten altid uden Penge og uden Forstand paa at tiene nogle, thi det er ikke paa Marker og Enge, at man her finder Penge.« Der var også visse Cooperske forestillinger om indianere, prærier og bisonokser, men det var ikke den slags, man stødte på i den civiliserede virkelighed i de østamerikanske stater, hvor selv små byer på en halv snes tusinde indbyggere måtte imponere en mand fra en europæisk storby som København med dens 130.000 indvånere. »Kiøbenhavn vilde kunne lære meget af Poughkeepsie.« Herhjemme ingen gaslygter, men toppede fortove,...

I april 1862 skete der et systemskifte i »Det store Kongelige Bibliothek«. Den 31-årige Christian Walter Bruun efterfulgte den 80årige E. C. Werlauff (1823-61) og den 69-årige J. A. Bølling (1861-62) som leder af biblioteket, den officielle titel var bibliotekar (fra 1893 overbibliotekar). Forgængerne havde været kompetente folk, men biblioteket havde delvis stået i stampe i Werlauffs seneste år, og J. A.

Först några ord till förtydligande av rubriken på denna uppsats. Jag talar om en parentes, vilket hänger ihop med den relativt begränsade livslängd, som denna speciella bibliotekstyp hade - de första tillkom i början av 1910-talet och de sista avvecklades i slutet av 1960-talet. Jag kunde också ha använt en lika adekvat men kanske tydligare rubrik: Studiecirkelbibliotekens uppkomst, utveckling och avveckling.

Ved sin 80 års dag den 29. januar 1992 kan Palle Birkelund se tilbage på mere end et halvt århundredes tjeneste i de danske forskningsbiblioteker, heraf ikke færre end 30 år som rigsbibliotekar, med al den indflydelse det indebærer. Da han for ti år siden forlod embedet som rigsbibliotekar, blev det imidlertid ikke et farvel til den danske biblioteksverden. Tværtimod blev de frigjorte kræfter sat ind på nye aktiviteter, og blandt de områder, som kom til at nyde godt heraf, er bibliotekshistorien.
Antonio Panizzi og Det kgl. Bibliotek
Authors: Larsen Svend
Published: April 2021

itlen kunne antyde, at der var en særlig relation mellem Antonio Panizzi og Det kgl. Bibliotek i København. Det er ikke tilfældet, men Panizzi har indhentet oplysninger om Det kgl. Bibliotek og brugt dem i sin kamp for bedre forhold for »sit eget« bibliotek, British Museum Library. Panizzis oplysninger om Det kgl. Bibliotek indgår sammen med oplysninger om andre europæiske biblioteker i en rapport fra det udvalg i det britiske parlament, der i 1836 behandlede British Museum's forhold. På grundlag af dette materiale kan man give et bidrag til at placere Det kgl. Bibliotek i europæisk sammenhæng i første halvdel af 1800-tallet. Panizzis sammenligning af europæiske biblioteker og den brug, han gør af den, giver endvidere et historisk perspektiv på det stadig aktuelle spørgsmål om, hvad der er et nationalbiblioteks opgaver. Endelig er det formålet at pege på et omfattende kildemateriale om europæiske biblioteksforhold, som ikke er meget benyttet uden for engelsk bibliotekshistorie.

Published: April 2021

Det kongelige BIBLIOTEKSHISTORIE under de første enevoldskonger er ikke alt for godt belyst af kilder, men under Frederik IV begynder bevarede arkivalier i stigende omfang at tale med. Fra ca. 1710 og fremefter kan man finde regnskabsbilag vedrørende udgifter til bibliotekets drift i det kgl. partikulærkammers arkiv i Rigsarkivet, navnlig udgifter til bogkøb, og en sag som f. eks. forhandlingerne om købet af Christian Reitzers store bibliotek, der strakte sig over årene 1717-21, kan følges gennem en snes breve og aktstykker. Af største betydning er en i 1729 affattet katalog over biblioteksbestanden, som er bevaret i bibliotekets arkiv og udgør et vigtigt omend lidet benyttet holdepunkt for samlingernes historie mellem katalogerne fra Frederik Ills tid og katalogarbejderne ved bibliotekets reorganisering i årene omkring 1780.

"En biblioteksmæssig Vurdering af den Udvikling, Bibliotekerne har gennemgaaet i denne Periode, kan og skal naturligvis ikke gives paa det nuværende Tidspunkt, hvor vi staar midt i Krisen, men maa til sin Tid blive en Opgave for Bibliotekshistorikere."1 Dette blev udtalt af Georg Krogh-Jensen i 1940 og spørgsmålet tages op i denne artikel. Det gøres ved at se på den side af biblioteksvæsenets udvikling, vi betegner som folkebibliotekets kulturelle rolle i det danske samfund under besættelsen 1940-1945. Den kulturelle rolle er analyseret udfra følgende aspekter: • Analyse af materiale omhandlende folkebiblioteket under besættelsen. Hvilken betydning havde folkebiblioteket? • Sammenligning af folkebiblioteket med andre folkeoplysende, kulturformidlende institutioner under besættelsen: folkehøjskoler, studiekredse og Statsradiofonien....
Tre efterreformatoriske katolske biblioteker i København indtil 1962
Authors: Clausen Helge
Published: April 2021

Tidligt i Kirkens historie er bøger blevet anset som åndelige våben. Denne tradition kan føres tilbage til jødedommen, men også apostlen Paulus har understreget betydningen af 'åndens sværd' i kampen mod det onde. I klostrene i middelalderen var biblioteket det vigtigste rum efter kirken og sakristiet. Biblioteket var ofte placeret ved sakristiet, og har givetvis haft sin oprindelse i den samling af liturgiske bøger, der fandtes der. Munkene skulle anvende de liturgiske bøger i deres tidebønner og messer i lovprisningen af Gud og kampen mod djævelen. Men ud over denne kontinuerlige brug af 'åndens sværd' forordnede Benedikt i sin Regels kapitel 48, at der for den enkelte munk hver dag skulle afsættes flere timer til læsning; denne beskæftigelse blev intensiveret i fastetiden, hvor hver munk ved fastetidens begyndelse skulle have udleveret en bog fra biblioteket, som han skulle læse i løbet af fastetiden som en særlig indsats for at fremme sin åndelige udvikling. I det hele taget blev biblioteket betragtet som et våbenkammer, jf. den gamle sentens Claustrum sine armario sicut castrum sine armamentario (Et kloster uden bibliotek er som en fæstning uden våbenkammer). Der er i dag almindelig enighed om benediktinernes enorme indsats som bærere og udbredere af den klassiske og kristne kultur, herunder bogkulturen, i Europa i hele middelalderen.

Published: April 2021

Udenrigsministeriets lederprofil bør gentænkes. Den nuværende lederprofil fremhæver, at ”du er først og fremmest en god personaleleder”. I samtaler med danske diplomater, der samlet set har ledererfaring fra alle klodens kontinenter, er det tydeligt, at den gode leder i diplomatiet er mere og andet end personaleledelse. En ny lederprofil bør fremhæve: “Du er først og fremmest en musikalsk leder, der har blik for samspillet mellem dine medarbejderes trivsel og de faglige resultater, der skal opnås.”
Designing And Optimizing Production In A High Variety / Low Volume Environment Through Data-Driven Simulation
Authors: Fani Virginia , Bindi Bianca , Bandinelli Romeo
Published: April 2021

HVLV environments are characterized by high product variety and small lot production, pushing companies to recursively design and optimize their production systems in a very short time to reach high-level performance. To increase their competitiveness, companies belonging to these industries, often SMEs working as third parties, ask for decision-making tools to support them in a quick and reactive reconfiguration of their production lines. Traditional discrete event simulation models, widely studied in the literature to solve production-related issues, do not allow real-time support to business decisions in dynamic contexts, due to the time-consuming activities needed to re-align parameters to changing environments. Data-driven approach overcomes these limitations, giving the possibility to easily update input and quickly rebuild the model itself without any changes in the modeling code. The proposed data-driven simulation model has also been interfaced with a commonly-used BI tool to support companies in the iterative comparison of different scenarios to define the optimal resource allocation for the requested production plan. The simulation model has been implemented into a SME operating in the footwear industry, showing how this approach can be used by companies to increase their performance even without a specific knowledge in building and validating simulation models.
Factor Modeling Of Russian Women’s Perceptions Of Combining Family And Career
Authors: Blednova Natalia , Bagirova Anna
Published: April 2021

Sociologists and demographers explain late childbearing by the transformation of the life values of modern women. This is considered as one of the reasons for the decline in the birth rate. Our study aims to reveal perceptions of the relationship between career and family in the life strategies of working Russian women by using factor analysis. We collected data in a sociological survey of working women living in the Ural region. We asked respondents to rate 10 statements about work, family and children. We constructed 3-factors model of Russian women’s perceptions of combining family and career. Then we used correlationanalysis to assess the relationship between these factors and the social and demographic parameters of the respondents. We concluded that the use of factor analysis made it possible to model a wide range of Russian women’s perceptions of combining family and career. Considering the results obtained may contribute to improving the regulation of interaction of two important societal spheres of professional and parental activities and create conditions for increasing the birth rate in Russia.

The year 2020 was very challenging for everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people turn their lives upside down from day to day. Politicians had to impose completely unprecedented measures, and doctors immediately had to adapt to the huge influx of patients and the massive demand for testing. Of course, not all processes could be planned completely efficiently, given that the situation literally changes from minute to minute, but sometimes better planning could improve the real processes. This contribution deals with the application of simulation software SIMUL8 to the analysis of the COVID-19 sample collection process in a drive-in point in a hospital. The main aim is to create a model based on the real data and then to find out the suitable number of other staff (medics) helping a doctor during the process to decrease the number of unattended patients and their waiting times.
Modelling Player Combat Behaviour For NPC Imitation And Combat Awareness Analysis
Authors: Williamson Paul , Tubb Christopher
Published: April 2021

Abstract—NPC [non-player characters] have progressed over the past two decades, they fulfil a number of different roles, each with different problems and development techniques. When fulfilling the role typically reserved for human-players, a problem occurs because they can be identified as NPC by observing their gameplay behaviours. This has negative consequences when deployed in a team-based game where eliminations impact game objectives. This research investigates the key combat characteristics exhibited by players during certain scenarios, analysing the data acquired through experiments to determine where generalised patterns emerge. It also explores the combat awareness of players when NPCs have overly tuned combat skill, and determine how effective standard game industry techniques are for creating believable NPCs.

Understanding battery capacity degradation is instrumental for designing modern electric vehicles. In this paper, a Semi-Empirical Model for predicting the Capacity Loss of Lithium-ion batteries during Cycling and Calendar Aging is developed. In order to redict the Capacity Loss with a high accuracy, battery operation data from different test conditions and different Lithium-ion batteries chemistries were obtained from literature for parameter optimization (fitting). The obtained models were then compared to experimental data for validation. Our results show that the average error between the estimated Capacity Loss and measured Capacity Loss is less than 1.5% during Cycling Aging, and less than 2% during Calendar Aging. An electric mining dumper, with simulated duty cycle data, is considered as an application example.
Metadata For Root Cause Analysis

The paper is devoted to the task of finding the root cause of anomaly in a distributed information and computing system. An approximate approach is considered to detect implicit anomalies with accuracy to the object (of a component of the technical device, a node of a network infrastructure, an application or of an information resource). The approximate solution is based on the use of integral parameters that allow you to identify an anomaly, but do not allow you to indicate its cause. To work with such methods for determining the root causes of anomalies, auxiliary data is required, which is called metadata in the work. The work describes a metadata construction algorithm and shows ways of using metadata to build an object in which the root cause of the anomaly is located. An approximate solution to the problem of finding the root cause of an anomaly with a help of quickly computable values of integral parameters is necessary to reduce the time of interruption of work processes due to implicit anomalies. It is assumed that small subsystems and nodes are easier to replace than to delve into the study of the cause.
The Hodge conjecture: The complications of understanding the shape of geometric spaces
Authors: Muñoz Velázquez Vicente
Published: April 2021

The Hodge conjecture is one of the seven millennium problems, and is framed within differential geometry and algebraic geometry. It was proposed by William Hodge in 1950 and is currently a stimulus for the development of several theories based on geometry, analysis, and mathematical physics. It proposes a natural condition for the existence of complex submanifolds within a complex manifold. Manifolds are the spaces in which geometric objects can be considered. In complex manifolds, the structure of the space is based on complex numbers, instead of the most intuitive structure of geometry, based on real numbers.
Antics reptes matemàtics: Antecedents dels problemes del mil·lenni
Authors: Segura de León Sergio
Published: April 2021

Els problemes del mil·lenni de l’Institut Clay de Matemàtiques són un estímul per a la investigació matemàtica. L’objectiu d’aquest article és mostrar alguns precedents de reptes que també han estat estímuls per a demostrar resultats interessants. Amb aquesta excusa, mostrem tres moments de la història de la matemàtica que han estat importants per a desenvolupar noves línies de recerca. Analitzem breument el desafiament de Tartaglia, que va significar conèixer una fórmula per a l’equació de tercer grau; el problema de la corba de descens més ràpid de Johann Bernoulli, que va donar origen al càlcul de variacions; i la incidència dels problemes que plantejà David Hilbert el 1900, centrant-nos en el primer problema de la seua llista: la hipòtesi del continu.
Les equacions de Navier-Stokes: Impredictibilitat fins i tot sense papallones?
Authors: Mora Xavier
Published: April 2021

Matemàticament, el moviment d’un fluid es descriu mitjançant les anomenades equacions de Navier-Stokes. En l’esperit de la mecànica newtoniana, aquestes equacions haurien de determinar el moviment futur del fluid a partir del seu estat inicial. Tanmateix, i malgrat els notables esforços que s’han fet en aquesta direcció durant més d’un segle, fins ara no s’ha aconseguit demostrar matemàticament aquest determinisme, ni tampoc desmentir-lo. En aquest article es dóna una perspectiva general sobre les equacions de Navier-Stokes, el quart dels problemes del mil·lenni.
Analysis of taxation of the controlled foreign corporations owned by tax residents of the Russian Federation

Published: April 2021

The subject of this article is the analysis of aggregated tax indicators of the activity of controlled foreign corporations: the amount of tax payable; the number of controlled foreign corporations; the number of taxpayers who control them. The author analyzes tax indicators of the activity of controlled foreign corporations owned by tax residents of the Russian Federation on corporate income tax and personal income tax; as well as examines potential proceeds from tax imposed on personal fixed income, which will be applicable for 2020. Research methodology is based on the key provisions of international taxation; tax analysis is conducted according to the open data from the reports of the Federal Tax Service for the period from 2015 to 2019 in the federal and regional context with application of analytical, comparative and statistical methods. The scientific novelty consists in interpretation of results acquired from the analysis of tax indicators of the activity of controlled foreign corporations, which allowed spotting trends in their dynamics for determination of feasible variants of tax regulation of such companies. The conclusion is made that the number of taxpayers who control such corporations has grown, but the taxes assessed on the profit of CFC has decreased. The spotted trends in the dynamics of tax indicators of the activity of CFC owned by tax residents of the Russian Federation demonstrate the promising trend of their tax regulation is not as a punitive fiscal function, but rather stimulating, which implies introduction into the Russian tax field of more corporations owned by tax residents of the Russian Federation that are located in the offshore and transit jurisdictions.
How the fear of COVID-19 changed the way we look at human faces

Published: April 2021

Do we look at persons currently or previously affected by COVID-19 the same way as we do with healthy ones? In this eye-tracking study, we investigated how participants (N= 54) looked at faces of individuals presented as “COVID-19 Free”, “Sick with COVID-19”, or “Recovered from COVID-19”. Results showed that participants tend to look at the eyes of COVID-19-free faces longer than at those of both COVID-19-related faces. Crucially, we also found an increase of visual attention for the mouth of the COVID-19-related faces, possibly due to the threatening characterisation of such area as a transmission vehicle for SARS-CoV-2. Thus, by detailing how people dynamically changed the way of looking at faces as a function of the perceived risk of contagion, we provide the first evidence in the literature about the impact of the pandemic on the most basic level of social interaction.

This study assessed the status and factors influencing access of extension and advisory services (EAS) for forage production among smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya. Using a multistage stratified random sampling, data were collected from 316 and 313 farmers in Kangundo sub-County and Kirinyaga Counties of Kenya, respectively. The intensity of dairy farming formed the basis of selection of the study areas. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression model. Results indicated that, overall the proportion of farmers who accessed EAS on forage production in Kirinyaga (26.4%) was double that of Kangundo (13.6%). Government was the main provider of EAS on forage production and accounted for between 73 to 90% of services in Kangundo and 54 to 81% in Kirinyaga. The main channels for accessing EAS in both sites were trainings (29 - 31%) and field days (22 - 30%). Overall, majority of farmers (71 - 73%) were satisfied with the information and services they received on forage production. The empirical estimates of logistic regression revealed that the probability of access to EAS increased with access to credit, membership to farmer groups and importance of livestock on household’s food security. We recommend that the governments use innovative extension approaches and strengthen formation of farmer groups/organizations in order to improve access of EAS by smallholder dairy farmers for enhanced forage production.
Dynamic Development of Information Technologies, Organization of Library Services Using Digital Space and Through Social Networks

Starting with the creation of the global information space, there are two forces that can really influence information processes. The first side is the technological side, the other side is the state structures based on social and humanitarian issues.The creators of global networks and the owners of key technologies advocate that everything remains as it is, based on freedom of speech, and in humanitarian terms, states are trying to control this process based on the implementation of legislation.The first side is based on free speech, controls the advertising market and dodges taxes, the other side wants to deal with “concerned groups” and also fight social ailments.In this confrontation, libraries, as institutions influencing the information environment, stand next to the state and try not to lose their attractiveness. In this respect, libraries can act as a bridge between local and regional as well as global networks.

Libraries, academic and university libraries currently operating in the world and meeting modern challenges are the main participants in the authoritative information cycle. Coordinating the information activities of these agencies can lead to a significant improvement in the information environment.

The main goal of the study is to identify the optimal forms and methods of using social networks in libraries.  It is also exploring the reasons why libraries use social media to ensure an effective and widespread information service.
The End of Neoliberal Globalism: A Critical Perspective
Authors: Hlovor Ishmael K. , Shaibu Yussif , Ibrahim Naazia
Published: April 2021

There has been a growing trend towards protectionism, particularly in the Global North in recent years. The rise of Trump, Brexit and tighter immigration control across Europe and America seem to run contrary to the conventional neoliberal globalism discourse of free flow of people, capital, goods and information across the globe. Using a qualitative approach and drawing on data from published works, this paper argues that these events are part of the Global North’s rebellion against neoliberal globalism. This process is not external to the process of neoliberal globalism but integral to it. Although the current rise of nationalism and protectionism does not represent an end of globalization, it represents the end of the discourse of globalization as a fit all economic and political solution to diverse nations. This demands that alternatives to the current thinking be considered. A new form of globalization must consider issues of income and economic inequality among nations and people. It must offer the chance to the nation state to reinvent itself as the welfare providing and protecting states.
