The Russian language: how to teach it so that it becomes “great and mighty”?
Authors: Turbovskoy Yakov Semenovich
Published: October 2021

Recognizing the undoubted merits of the modern methodology of teaching the Russian language and the undoubted methodologists’ successes achieved in recent decades, we cannot but realize the need not only not to be satisfied with what has been achieved, but, on the contrary, to do everything in our power to search for answers that correspond to the changes taking place in the country and the world. In everything that concerns the Russian language, it was the time that turned out to be surprising in its social energetics as the exponent of a huge set of problems requiring urgent solution. Just as uncontrolled drifting ice floes converge and collide with each other, so at the end of the 20th and at the beginning of the 21st centuries, different layers of issues related to the development of the Russian language, its connections with other languages, interpersonal, interethnic, interethnic and interstate relations collided. Finally, the attitude towards it on the part of the younger generations that have already entered and continue to enter life, including those formed by the academic subject «Russian language». In the article, the author reflects on the meaning of the Russian language, speaks about the methods of teaching it, which are built as methods of teaching a foreign language, and shows that with this approach the language loses its flexibility and liveliness and is filled with formulas and clichés.
The connection between the «color revolutions» and the strategic doctrines of the United States (late 20th century — 2014)
Authors: Filimonova Anna Igorevna
Published: October 2021

After the collapse of the USSR, fundamentally new phenomena appeared on the world arena, which became a watershed separating the bipolar order from the monopolar order associated with the establishment of the US global hegemony. Such phenomena were the events that are most often called «revolutions» in connection with the scale of the changes being made — «velvet revolutions» in the former Eastern Bloc, as well as revolutions of a different type, which ended in a change in the current regimes with such serious consequences that we are also talking about revolutionary transformations. These are technologies of «color revolutions» that allow organizing artificial and seemingly spontaneous mass protests leading to the removal of the legitimate government operating in the country and, in fact, to the seizure of power by a pro-American forces that ensure the Westernization of the country and the implementation of "neoliberal modernization", which essentially means the opening of national markets and the provision of natural resources for the undivided use of the Western factor (TNC and TNB). «Color revolutions» are inseparable from the strategic documents of the United States, in which, from the end of the 20th century, even before the collapse of the USSR, two main tendencies were clearly traced: the expansion of the right to unilateral use of force up to a preemptive strike, which is inextricably linked with the ideological justification of «missionary» American foreign policy, and the right to «assess» the internal state of affairs in countries and change it to a «democratic format», that is, «democratization». «Color revolutions», although they are not directly mentioned in strategic documents, but, being a «technical package of actions», straightforwardly follow from the right, assigned to itself by Washington, to unilateral use of force, which is gradually expanding from exclusively military actions to a comprehensive impact on an opponent country, i.e. essentially a hybrid war. Thus, the «color revolutions» clearly fit into the strategic concept of Washington on the use of force across the entire spectrum (conventional and unconventional war) under the pretext of «democratization». The article examines the period of registration and expansion of the US right to use force (which, according to the current international law, is a crime without a statute of limitations) in the time interval from the end of the twentieth century until 2014, filling semantic content about the need for «democratic transformations» of other states, with which the United States approached the key point of the events of the «Arab spring» and «color revolutions» in the post-Soviet space, the last and most ambitious of which was the «Euromaidan» in Ukraine in 2014. The article presents the material for the preparation of lectures and seminars in the framework of the training fields «International Relations» and «Political Science».
Physical training within the discipline "Plastic education"
Authors: Samoylov Aleksey Valerievich
Published: October 2021

The author demonstrates that plastic education (if we do not mean the name of the discipline, but the term that is very popular in the professional circle of teachers) is an abbreviated term that means “education of the plastic culture of actors”. Actor's plastic culture is the level of professional skill in the field of stage plastic; in this case, stage plastics mean the external, physical (bodily) side of stage action, understood in general as a single psychophysical process. In practice, the plastic culture of an actor is expressed in the ability, readiness and need to realize stage action in a figurative, artistically significant plastic form. If we are talking about plastic education as a discipline in an educational institution, the content of this discipline is quite extensive; it has many sections aimed at acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities by the future actor, as well as developing certain abilities and qualities necessary for working in acting profession. In this work, I will consider in detail physical training as one of the most important and basic section of the discipline "Plastic Education". The article shows the role of physical training in the plastic education of an actor.

Authors: Negais Hamza , Idder Tahar , Cheloufi Hamid , Idder Abdelhak , Benmchi’h Ayada Slimane Ahmed
Published: October 2021

Background: After suffering from an acute problem of excess water for a long time, the Oasis of Ouargla benefited from an aerated lagoon treatment plant, producing biologically treated domestic effluents. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of reusing this effluent for watering plants. The experiment was conducted in the Ouargla WWTP, which is located in the region of Said Otba (northeast of Ouargla), north of the national road NR 49. Methods: The study area was selected based on the originality of the study and availability of water. The plants used were Acacia farnesiana and Leucaena leucocephala. The selection of Leucaena was based on the following criteria: It is used as a windbreak, it is very tolerant to drought, and it is used as a fodder to maintain soil fertility. And, Acacia was selected because it is used as a fodder, protects the soil against erosion, and to fix nitrogen. The watering of these plants is done jointly by treated wastewater from the WWTP and well water (WW), of which the latter was used as a control. Sampling and analysis of the irrigation water were performed according to the experimental protocol. To show the growth rate of the two plants studied, biometric measurements were taken weekly for 25 weeks. Results: The physicochemical analyses show that the treated wastewater is of poor quality belonging to the last class of Riverside’s C5-S4, with an excessive salinity (EC) of 13.51 dS/m and an Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 12.61 against EC of 2.49 dS/m and 2.13 for the WW. At the end of the experiment, it was found that irrigation with purified wastewater (PWW) gave less growth compared to that with WW. Statistical analyses of the biometric measurements confirmed that there is a highly significant difference at P<0.05. Conclusion: The reuse of WWTP effluent gives less interesting results but is still possible. It is recommended to choose Salt-tolerant crops, as well as the dilution of these waters by the addition of less salty waters.

Published: October 2021

Background: Leachate contains toxic and non-biodegradable substances that are not easily treated by conventional treatment methods. This study investigated the effect of pH, current density, and reaction time parameters on the removal of cyanide (CN- ), nitrate (NO3- ), turbidity, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from leachate by electrocoagulation process. Methods: This study was an experimental one with direct current using four parallel bipolar aluminum electrodes with 90% purity. The length, width, and thickness of the electrodes were 5 cm, 10 cm, and 2 mm, respectively. There were 6 holes with a diameter of 0.7 cm on each of the electrodes. The samples were prepared from the old leachate of solid waste landfill in Ghaemshahr, Iran. Results: In this study, at a current density of 33 mA/cm2 and a time of 60 minutes, the optimum removal efficiency of cyanide (100 %) was obtained at pH 5.5 and pH 10. Moreover, the maximum removal of nitrate (99.65 %) and turbidity (86.41 %) were at pH 5.5 and pH 8.3, respectively and the highest removal efficiency of COD (83.14 %) was obtained at pH 10. Conclusion: The results showed that the removal of cyanide, nitrate, turbidity, and COD increases with increasing current density and reaction time. Due to the proper removal of nitrate and cyanide from leachate by electrocoagulation, nitrate and cyanide amounts were less than the allowable contamination level. Based on the results, electrocoagulation is considered an efficient and effective method for removing nitrate and cyanide from old leachate of municipal solid wastes.
SIMULATION MODEL OF THE BRUSH CUTTER ROTOR WITH SIX BLADES
Authors: Drapalyuk Mikhail , Bukhtoyarov Leonid , Pridvorova A.
Published: October 2021

Brush cutters are used in forestry for the care of forest plantations in operations for cutting unwanted tree and shrub vegetation (TSV). Rotors can be used as working bodies. The rotor we are considering is a flywheel, on the outer sides of which the blades are hinged. When cutting DKR with blades, a cutting moment arises, which is transmitted through the knife to the axis of its rotation and then to the shaft driving the flywheel. When designing a brush cutter structure, the impact from the cutting forces of the DKR is decisive for the choice of drive power and rotor parameters. We designed the brush cutter rotor in CAD Solidworks to study the cutting process of the DKR. Its geometric and mass parameters were set; the kinematic links of the links were established. The input motion characteristics were set in the Motion Solidworks module and the cutting moment was applied to the knives. Virtual sensors were installed on the model to record movement characteristics. As a result of a computer experiment for three options, which differ in cutting force and the presence of a damper, the trajectories of the knives and the power consumption of the drive were established
ANALYSIS OF TECHNOLOGIES AND TECHNICAL MEANS FOR SOWING FOREST SEEDS IN NURSERIES
Authors: Drapalyuk Mikhail , Ushakov Nikita , Jujukin Nikolai , Zhuravlev Aleksey
Published: October 2021

The analysis of sowing methods and existing types of seeders, which are used in forestry and agrotechnical complexes, as well as patent materials, is given. Analysis of domestic designs of SLP-M, SLU-5-20 and "Litva-25" seeders, intended for sowing small forest seeds in nurseries and open ground, showed that they are energy-intensive and do not always ensure the embedding of seeds in moist soil. The perspective directions of resource conservation in agriculture have been considered: sowing using "no-till" or "mini-do" technology, ensuring sowing of seeds in untreated and minimally cultivated soil. The combined seeder AGRATORDK is equipped with a disc cultivator and a seeder with gouters. The RAPIDRDA-450S seeder from VADERSTAD has spherical discs that cultivate soil in one pass. The presented methods of sowing and seeding devices have a significant drawback - the necessity of additional working bodies with a high probability of getting into the grooves of dry soil, moving the top layer of soil "back and forth." A gouter which can change the angle of entering the soil and planting depths of small forest seeds was developed. Preliminary laboratory studies have shown the operability of gouter mock-up specimen and the ability to cut the seed furrow by cutting out a layer of soil with void formation above the bottom of the seed furrow, into which seeds were fed through tubes from funnels. The seeds were embedded with a layer of soil under the influence of its own gravity
INFLUENCE OF MACROSTRUCTURE ON THE DENSITY OF OAK WOOD
Authors: Tarasov Anatoliy , Kuryanova Tatyana , Platonov Aleksey , Snegireva Svetlana , Kiseleva Aleksandra
Published: October 2021

An individual process of staining of each trunk occurs as a result of the long-term presence of wood in the river soil without oxygen access. It consists in changing the structure and chemical composition of the wood. There are industrial reserves of this wood on the territory of the Russian Federation, in the floodplains of a number of rivers. One of the most important tasks at the extraction stage is the primary individual quality assessment of the trunk. One of the most effective diagnostic indicators for assessing wood quality can be the number of annual layers in one centimeter. This indicator correlates well with wood density. The purpose of the research is to establish the influence of the macrostructure of natural wood and stained oak wood, changes in the microstructure on its density. It was found that the density of stained oak wood, depending on the number of annual layers in 1 cm, is about 10% higher than that of natural wood, all other things being equal. The magnitude and nature of the decrease in density along the radius of the trunk is the same as in natural wood. It is about 20%. The performed studies will allow making an express analysis of the quality of each stained wood trunk at the stage of making a decision on the behavior of its extraction. This will significantly reduce the cost of logging and primary processing of stained oak wood
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL BRIQUETTING OF LOGGING WASTE IN THE CONDITIONS OF FOREST TERMINALS

Published: October 2021

About 100 million m3 of timber waste is generated at forest terminals in the Russian Federation, with a harvesting volume of about 500 million m3 of timber. Waste generated at the terminal can be used to produce generator gas, but this requires preliminary preparation of the raw materials. A homogeneous structure of raw materials is recommended for the efficient use of gas generating plants. It can be achieved, for example, by briquetting the waste after it has been crushed. At the same time, the process of briquetting waste at forest terminals will differ from briquetting in the conditions of specialized enterprises. Timber terminals, which are temporary warehouses for timber, usually do not have a centralized electricity connection. The use of internal combustion engines as power plants significantly increases the cost of the woodworking process, since the cost of fuel is quite high, and the efficiency of internal combustion engines is much lower than that of electric motors. In this regard, the search for the most optimal mobile power plants for power supply of forest terminals is a very urgent task. It is preferable to use lighter presses at terminals, since the requirements for density and strength of briquettes for gas-fired plants are lower than for biofuels intended for sale. Known studies are focused mainly on the production of fuel briquettes sold to third-party consumers with a density of more than 1000 kg/m3. The strength is sufficient at a density of briquettes up to 800 kg/m3 for feeding briquettes into gas generating plants. The deformation characteristics of the compacted material will be different in the indicated density range. It requires further experimental studies
Calvin and Neo-Calvinism on Public Theology
Authors: INTAN BENYAMIN F.
Published: October 2021

In 1974, Martin Marty first introduced the term public theology, and it has since gained popularity. However, the reality of public theology has long been a part of the church’s witness and should continue to be one of the church’s essential tasks. John Calvin’s view of public theology has impacted modern politics, both on the democratic movement and the development of Western law and human rights. Not a few have accused him of inhibiting freedom and democratic ideals. Here, I will discuss Calvin’s political thought and also identify a few themes that were later developed by his followers, especially the neo-Calvinist movement initiated by Abraham Kuyper, and which provide foundational concepts for building a pluralistic and tolerant democratic society. KEYWORDS: Public Theology, neo-Calvinism, John Calvin, Abraham Kuyper, Church-state relationship, sphere sovereignty

Miért nem élhetünk szimulált világban?
Authors: Bognár Gergely
Published: October 2021

A külvilág filozófiai problematikájának modern változata a szimulációs hipotézisben ölt testet. Tisztán logikai alapon belátható, hogy nem élhetünk számítógépek által szimulált világban. Ha egy ilyen világban élnénk, semmi nem garantálná a fizikai törvények és tapasztalataink valódiságát. A szimulációs hipotézis tapasztalatainkra és a fizika törvényeire hivatkozik, következésképpen önmaga kiindulópontjait ássa alá. Ha a szimuláció a fizika törvényei alapján reális lehetőség, akkor miért nem élünk szimulált világban? A válasz egyszerű, a fejlett intelligens lények nem redukálhatok kizárólag modellezhető fizikai folyamatokra. Az ember test és lélek egysége.
La intervención del Trabajo Social con personas mayores
Authors:   , Sala Daniela
Published: October 2021

La práctica profesional del Trabajo Social en Residencias tiene como objetivo mejorar la calidad de vida de la persona mayor, implicando acciones directas con dichas personas y sus vínculos afectivos, como con el personal de la institución. Para lo cual es fundamental conocer a la persona, su historia de vida, sus gustos e intereses actuales para ponerlos en juego en la institución, buscando que la atención sea integral y centrada en la persona y no que la persona deba adaptarse a la institución. En los casos estudiados se identifica apertura institucional ante las propuestas de trabajo presentadas por los y las profesionales del Trabajo Social, siendo una de ellas la relación con el afuera institucional, la participación de las personas mayores en actividades sociales de su territorio. Si bien existe una planificación sobre la intervención de profesionales del Trabajo Social en Residencias privadas, se recuperó una heterogeneidad de acciones desarrolladas, donde los emergentes irrumpen la cotidianeidad y son abordados estableciendo un orden de prioridades. Siempre trabajando en conjunto con las personas mayores, no desde una lógica asistencial tutelar sino facilitando el ejercicio de la autodeterminación en la satisfacción de sus necesidades. Pensar en un Trabajo Social Otro implica animarse a las preguntas incómodas y a las búsquedas profundas; no para encontrar una verdad única, dicotómica y permanente sino pluriversos que permitan el diálogo de saberes,amplíen la visión y de esta manera avanzar hacia sociedades más justas e inclusivas. Entendemos que forma parte de la intervención del Trabajo Social tanto el trabajo sobre los prejuicios viejistas a nivel social, como el colocar temas gerontológicos en la agenda pública. Ambas cuestiones aportan a disputar sentidos acerca de lo que debe ser resuelto en el ámbito público, en tanto modo colectivo de producir bienestar.

Co-Creation Strategy, New Challenges in Entrepreneurship Education
Authors: Aicha DIF
Published: October 2021

Objective - Co-creation in entrepreneurship education is related to the teacher's ability to innovate and develop new practice among the student-teacher relationship; it is also a new way to enhance creativity and student value creation. In this approach, the teacher is considered the first actor of co-creation; he creates value among co-teaching, he is a facilitator for the launch of a start-up, and he is at the core of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Thus, teaching with value co-creation, as we define, is a learning process that combines co-creation as a venture creation tool and provides personalised support for business plan competition. In the higher education system, innovation is an indicator of quality in teaching in all discipline. For entrepreneurship education, innovation with co-creation is a pedagogical practice based on project learning experimentation. This practice is efficient when it creates value for the learner in a co-creation process that combines knowledge sharing between the stakeholders. However, selecting the appropriate pedagogical practice is a curial element in the skills development in entrepreneurship education. Indeed, using co-creation as co-teaching implicates a pre-selection of the participant.

Methodology - In this study, the author uses a qualitative analysis method of interviews made with teachers implicated in a co-creation approach and students who had participated in start-up competition. The sample was selected based on (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) STEM student entrepreneur experience.

Results and findings - In achieving the objective of this paper, which is to understand the use of co-creation as an innovative pedagogical practice in the area of entrepreneurship education. The results show the value creation of co-creation as a co-teaching practice and a challenging tool of enhancing entrepreneurial spirit.

Objective - This article aims to detect empirically, the nexus relationship between exports and government size in seven middle-income MENA countries, namely, Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia, from 2000 to 2019.

Methodology/Technique - This article employs two econometric techniques, simultaneous equations using OLS, and recent Dynamic Panel Data system analysis.

Findings - Article results show a significant and robust negative association between exports and government size that indicates the need for government adoption of a series of policies for exports promotion strategies and likewise, openness can increase both variables. Growth and FDI increase exports and decrease government size, while ODA decreases exports and increases government size with Inflation-decreasing exports.

Novelty - This article shines a light on the expanded government size capable of hindering growth and exports through the adoption of unfavourable policies to support the private sector, growth, and exports. Ultimately, this determines whether government policies are favourable or not.

Type of Paper - Empirical

Unusual Word Problems and the Development of Critical Thinking in Early School Students
Authors: Nawolska Barbara
Published: October 2021

Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult for people to make their way in a rapidly changing world. Critical thinkers are able to function well in such a changing environment and their education should begin in early childhood.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the development of critical thinking of third grade elementary school students. Unusual word problems with missing or contradictory data, an ambiguous solution, or with unrealistic content (meaningless in real life) served as a tool for developing this type of thinking. These problems provoked the students to think, to critically analyze both the content and data of word problems. This, in turn, helped the students become more reflective, notice missing or contradictory data, ambiguity of a solution or lack of realism, fill in missing data, correct contradictory information and make unrealistic data realistic, as well as seek all possibilities for a solution. Thus, their critical thinking skills developed.
“Book of Nature”: How to Teach Children to Read It?
Authors: Nowak Zbigniew
Published: October 2021

Modern science and technology are founded on the belief in the rationality and mathematical structure of the world. Learning about it, the progress and quality of our lives are related to the popularization of thinking about mathematical education as equipping students with the competencies necessary to read the Galilean “Book of Nature.” The article presents the idea of ​​a mathematical understanding of reality and the leading emotional-volitional and instrumental competencies that should be provided to students of elementary education in order to shape their beliefs about the effectiveness of this way of cognition and support them in acquiring appropriate knowledge and skills.
In terms of field-specific and social competencies, it is about: awakening cognitive curiosity, building the attitude of epistemic and ethical optimism, belief in the inevitability and cognitive value of error, developing the ability to cooperate and compete in small groups, and to shape the attitude of researcher reliability.
In terms of instrumental competencies, these would be: the ability to model phenomena at the level of substitutes (simulations), knowledge of numbers, decimal positional system and four arithmetic operations, the understanding of measurement and practical knowledge of measures, the ability to problematize phenomena from the natural world, having elementary knowledge of heuristics, a certain level of calculation efficiency and knowledge of basic geometric figures.

Authors: Szczotka Martyna , Szewczuk Katarzyna
Published: October 2021

This paper presents the outcomes of a pilot study conducted with a group of students pursuing teacher training programs as part of the international research project called “Kitchen Lab for Kids” delivered under the “Erasmus+; Key Action 2” scheme. The aim of the research was to find out about students’ opinions on STEM education, including the determination of the level of their knowledge about this trend. In this context, particular attention was paid to issues related to the goals of STEM education, problems and challenges that they may generate, as well as the needs (organizational conditions) necessary to implement this type of activity. The respondents also had the opportunity to present their own experiences in organizing and conducting STEM classes. The research was carried out with the use of the qualitative methods, where the basic research method was focus interview. The research group consisted of 8 students of teaching faculties, mainly pre-school and early school education. The selection of research units was purposeful. The conducted qualitative analysis of the material collected during the focus interview showed that STEM education is still a novelty among students of teaching faculties. Future teachers have little experience in the implementation of activities taking into account the STEM model, but it should be expected that the coming years will result in a number of changes and activities in this area.

Peripheral artery aneurysms are dangerous with possible complications such as ruptures, bleeding, thromboembolism in the distal bed with subsequent tissue ischemia, neurological disorders due to pressure of closely located nerve trunks.
One of the most common causes of peripheral artery aneurysms is trauma. Special attention should be paid to a significant increase in the number of iatrogenic injuries. From 2000 to 2019, 46 patients were operated on the arteries of the lower extremities. Operations of various types of reconstructions were performed. The total age of the patients ranged from 30 to 76 years, the average age of the patients was 43.3± 6.5 years.
A total of 6 (9.2%) patients were operated on with combined aneurysmal lesion of the femoral and popliteal arteries. In the postoperative period, 91.5% of patients with peripheral artery aneurysm had positive clinical results. 4 (8.5%) developed complications. Long-term results were tracked in the period from 3 months to 3 years. A clinical examination was performed, supplemented by ultrasound control. 2 cases of thrombosis in the distal anastomosis were identified, which were restored after reconstruction of the distal anastomosis.

Ambulatory cardiac monitoring is a rapidly expanding field of functional diagnostics. Today, the main direction of cardiac monitoring is outpatient monitoring of the electrocardiogram, an important diagnostic tool that is used daily by doctors in many specialties. Therefore, both wearable and subcutaneous technologies of electrocardiographic monitoring are now widely used. A number of devices can be placed under the patient’s skin and have the ability to wirelessly transmit data to home transmitters, which, in turn, then transmit data to the doctor via cloud interfaces, so that, they allow remote monitoring and monitoring of the patient’s condition.

Invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDC) metastasizes to several organs, but it does not usually affect the adrenal glands. In
our knowledge, the cases described in the literature are few. A 60-year-old woman diagnosed with ductal breast
carcinoma, was found to have adrenal metachronous metastasis during follow-up. While treatment is unclear, laparoscopic adrenalectomy could
be a treatment option with curative intention. In our patient, we decided transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy, with favourable evolution
after surgery.
IMPACT OF RURAL LOCAL SELF-GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL WORK ACTIVITIES AT ALGUNDA PANCHAYAT OF GIRIDIH DISTRICT, JHARKHAND
Authors: Shahid Ali Parvez
Published: October 2021

This is not a new idea of local self-government; it dates back to the period before the Mauryan emperors. This paper traces
the evolution of local self-government from prehistoric times to the twenty-rst century. This paper explores the wide
processes that allow the impact of local self-government and social work activities at the Algunda panchayat of giridih Jharkhand. The situation of
the local economy looks promising, the powers and resources of local self-government are limited. Direct economic involvement is strongly
related to a municipal sector that was strongly reduced after 1989. Participation in selected physical development projects documents the second
main approach indirect economic involvement. Activities in planning and regulation are studied as main factors of indirect involvement. This
paper focuses on the Algunda region's local self-government and social work activities. The objective of this paper is to nd the analysis of social
activity at the Algunda panchayat and to study the role of social government at Algunda panchayat.

Published: October 2021

Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a disease that has affected human
beings since antiquity and is still a global health problem. The main site of TB is usually in the lung, from where it can
spread to other parts of the body. However, it can also present in extrapulmonary forms, the most common being the abdominal.
Abdominal tuberculosis is dened as an infection of the gastrointestinal tract, peritoneum, abdominal solid organs, and/or abdominal lymphatics.
Because its clinical symptoms are nonspecic, the diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis requires a high clinical suspicion, especially in the
predisposed population
Handwriting Quality Analysis using Online-Offline Models

Published: October 2021

This work is part of an innovative e-learning project allowing the development of an advanced digital educational tool that provides feedback during the process of learning handwriting for young school children (three to eight years old). In this paper, we describe a new method for children handwriting quality analysis. It automatically detects mistakes, gives real-time on-line feedback for children’s writing, and helps teachers comprehend and evaluate children’s writing skills. The proposed method adjudges five main criteria: shape, direction, stroke order, position respect to the reference lines, and kinematics of the trace. It analyzes the handwriting quality and automatically gives feedback based on the combination of three extracted models: Beta-Elliptic Model (BEM) using similarity detection (SD) and dissimilarity distance (DD) measure, Fourier
Descriptor Model (FDM), and perceptive Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Support Vector Machine (SVM) comparison engine. The originality of our work lies partly in the system architecture which apprehends complementary dynamic, geometric, and visual representation of the examined handwritten scripts and in the efficient selected features
adapted to various handwriting styles and multiple script languages such as Arabic, Latin, digits, and symbol drawing. The application offers two interactive interfaces respectively dedicated to learners, educators, experts or teachers and allows them to adapt it easily to the specificity of their disciples. The evaluation of our framework is enhanced by a database collected in Tunisia primary school with 400 children. Experimental results show the efficiency and robustness of our suggested framework that helps teachers and children by offering positive feedback throughout the handwriting learning process using tactile digital devices.
Hardware Implementation and Performance Analysis of Improved Sphere Decoder in Spatially Correlated Massive MIMO Channels
Authors: Vordonis Dimitris , Paliouras Vassilis
Published: October 2021

Detection for high-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and massive MIMO (MMIMO) systems is an active field of research in wireless communications. While most works consider spatially uncorrelated channels, practical MMIMO channels are correlated. This paper investigates the impact of correlation on Sphere Decoder (SD), for both single-user (SU) and multi-user (MU) scenarios. The complexity of SD is mainly determined by the initial radius (IR) method and the number of visited nodes during detection. This paper employs an efficient IR and proposes a new metric constraint in the tree searching algorithm, that significantly decrease the number of visited nodes and render SD feasible for large-scale systems. In addition, an introduced hardware implementation featured with a one-node-per-cycle architecture, minimizes the latency of the detection process. Trade-offs between bit error rate (BER) performance and computational complexity are presented. The trade-offs are achieved by either modifying the backtracking mechanism or limiting the number of radius updates. Simulation results prove that the proposed optimizations are effective for both correlated and uncorrelated channels, regardless of the level of noise. The decoding gain of SD compared to the low-complexity linear detectors (LD) is higher in the presence of correlation than in the uncorrelated case. However, as expected, spatial correlation adversely affects the performance and the complexity of SD. Simulation results reported here also confirm that correlation at the side equipped with more antennas is less detrimental. Hardware implementation aspects are examined for both a Virtex-7 FPGA device and a 28-nm ASIC technology.
Low-Voltage Energy Efficient Neural Inference by Leveraging Fault Detection Techniques

Published: October 2021

This paper presents simple techniques to significantly reduced energy consumption of DNNs: Operating at reduced voltages offers substantial energy efficiency improvement but at the expense of increasing the probability of computational errors due to hardware faults. In this context, we targeted Deep Neural Networks (DNN) as emerging energy hungry building blocks in embedded applications. Without an error feedback mechanism, blind voltage down-scaling will result in degraded accuracy or total system failure. To enable safe voltage down-scaling, in this paper two solutions based on Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) and Algorithm Based Fault Tolerance (ABFT) were developed. A DNN model trained on MNIST data-set was deployed on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that operated at reduced voltages and employed the proposed schemes. The SSL approach provides extremely low-overhead (≈0.2%) fault detection at the cost of lower error coverage and extra training, while ABFT incurs less than 8%overheads at run-time with close to 100% error detection rate. By using the solutions, substantial energy savings, i.e., up to 40.3%,without compromising the accuracy of the model was achieved
Lyapunov-based Optimization of Edge Resources for Energy-Efficient Adaptive Federated Learning
Authors: Battiloro Claudio , Di Lorenzo Paolo , Merluzzi Mattia , Barbarossa Sergio
Published: October 2021

The aim of this paper is to propose a novel dynamic resource allocation strategy for energy-efficient adaptive federated learning at the wireless network edge, with latency and learning performance guarantees. We consider a set of devices collecting local data and uploading processed information to an edge server, which runs stochastic gradient-based algorithms to perform continuous learning and adaptation. Hinging on Lyapunov stochastic optimization tools, we dynamically optimize radio parameters (e.g., set of transmitting devices, transmit powers, bits, and rates) and computation resources (e.g., CPU cycles at devices and at server) in order to strike the best trade-off between power, latency, and performance of the federated learning task. The framework admits both a model-based implementation, where the learning performance metrics are available in closed-form, and a data-driven approach, which works with online estimates of the learning performance of interest. The method is then customized to the case of federated least mean squares (LMS) estimation, and federated training of deep convolutional neural networks. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of our strategy to perform energy-efficient, low-latency, adaptive federated learning at the wireless network edge.
