INTELLIGENT CONTROL SYSTEM OF MULTI-MOTION MOBILE ROBOT
Authors: Kifayat Mammadova, Aytan Aliyeva Kifayat Mammadova, Aytan Aliyeva
Published: February 2024

Technical devices with irregular motion are described by complex non-linear differential equations, as they have an uncertain environment. Due to interactions and simplifications in these types of control objects, their mathematical models may have certain errors. For this reason, by known methods, for example, the linear matrix inequality method, Lyapunov's quadratic function, etc. The synthesized automatic control systems (ACS) for dynamic objects written by nonlinear mathematical models based on the quadratic matrix determined by The synthesis of regulators for the management of dynamic objects described in nonlinear and uncertain conditions is based on fuzzy logic theory. Since the controllers synthesized by fuzzy logic are based on knowledge, their application to other objects (robots) is limited. In such systems, it is difficult or not at all to determine the dependencies between ACS quality indicators, stability and object parameters. Taking into account the above, a method of analytically parametric synthesis of regulators that ensures the degree of stability and accuracy in ACS’s designed for fuzzy TS-type dynamic objects is proposed.
In the article, the solution to the problem of the synthesis of the control system of the mobile robot was considered, and it was successfully applied in the multi-motion mobile robot system. Modeling and experimental results confirm that the operation and stability of the obtained system fully meet the technical requirements. The proposed method has led to an increase in both tracking and control accuracy during high-speed movements.
Keywords: multi-motion mobile robot, mathematical model, mechatronic modules, fuzzy TS model, robust controller, fuzzy logic.
ALGORITHMS OF LIQUID LEVEL CONTROL BASED ON FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLERS
Authors: Kifayat Mammadova, Matanat Hasanquliyeva Kifayat Mammadova, Matanat Hasanquliyeva
Published: February 2024

The proposed synthesis algorithm for a fuzzy – logical proportional – differential (Fuzzy PD) controller is a simple and allows using a standard form of description of linguistic variables and a minimum set of control rules (with number of three or five rules). One of the successful applications that used fuzzy control is liquid tank level control. The purpose of the proposed synthesis algorithm is to design a simulation system of fuzzy logic controller for liquid tank level control by using simulation package which is Fuzzy Logic Toolbox and Simulink in MatLab software. By doing some modification of this algorithm, the design will be very useful for the system relates to liquid level control that widely used in industry nowadays.
The influence of its barbecues on the process obtained by synthesis with a PD controller is shown. It became clear that by selecting coefficients, we could get high-speed transitions and the required quality without extreme settings. It was not possible to obtain the required process using a fuzzy controller of 3 rules. This is because the price of the derivative, that is, the rate of change in the liquid level in the tank, is not taken into account. This was taken into account in the fuzzy controller and a time adjustment of no more than 10 seconds was obtained. Fuzzy controller of 5 rules and copy of PD-controller - normalization of input and output gave close results in terms of quality and accuracy.
Keywords: controller, fuzzy logic controller, linguistic rules, fuzzification, defuzzification, liquid tank, toolbox, Simulink, PD – controller, overshoot, steading.

Authors: D'Souza Merwyn , Tom Stella , Lewis Shania , Hiranwale Aaditya
Published: February 2024

Accidents have been a major cause of fatalities and injuries, much of which is attributed to human errors such as over speeding and drunk-driving. The onset of Autonomous Vehicles delivers a promising future with accident rate reducing significantly. But we also cannot deny the fact that these systems struggle in certain cases to avoid accidents. Hence, we propose a method to alert these autonomous vehicles in advance that they are approaching a Traffic Blackspot. A Traffic Blackspot is a dangerous prone-to-accident spot or location. This approach leverages the power of Deep Learning to understand the environmental factors of each location through street view images. This automated system will have access to the GPS location of the autonomous vehicle which it matches with its database of blackspots to determine if the vehicle is in or around such a location and alert the system when it is in the vicinity of a Blackspot. Due to this alert, a timely control can be adopted by the system with respect to speed, position on the road, etc., thus reducing the possibility of an autonomous vehicle potentially meeting with an accident.
Exact and Heuristic Optimization Algorithms for Auto-Rack Loading Problem
Authors: Vishwanathan Ashok , Narayanan Bharath , Nagarur Nagen
Published: February 2024

The transportation of new vehicles over the rail network takes place in specially designed railcars / wagons called auto-racks. This paper introduces a new problem – Auto-Rack Loading Problem (ARLP), involving transportation of vehicles on auto-racks with the objective of maximizing the revenue from the loaded vehicles subject to constraints. Existing literature only addresses methods to model and optimize transportation of vehicles on trucks called the auto-carrier loading problem. Initially, a model is formulated as an integer programming problem which is proven to be NP-hard since a special case of the ARLP reduces to a 0-1 multiple knapsack problem. Consequently, a multi-phase heuristic procedure is developed to solve large instances of the problem in reasonable time. The performance of the integer programming model and the heuristic procedure are evaluated and compared with an upper bound for randomly generated instances involving auto-racks and vehicles designed for use in the Indian rail network.

Anemia in adolescent girls is a health problem that often occurs in Indonesia. Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) is a fruit that is rich in iron and folate, which play an important role in the formation of hemoglobin. This study aims to determine the effect of giving dates on hemoglobin levels in anemic adolescent girls at Prima Nusantara Vocational School, Bukittinggi Indonesia. This research used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest with the control group design. A total of 30 adolescent girls who experienced anemia were randomly divided into two groups, namely the intervention group which was given 3 dates per day for 4 weeks and the control group which was given no dates. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after the intervention. The results showed that there was a significant increase in hemoglobin levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Giving dates can increase hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls who suffer from anemia.

Deep Learning-based Ensemble Approach for Conventional Pap Smear Image Classification
Authors: Khanarsa Paisit , Kitsiranuwat Satanat
Published: February 2024

Cervical cancer screening allows the early signs of precancerous abnormalities in the cervix before they develop into invasive cancer. The Pap Smear is a widely used screening for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. In many remote areas, the number of cytologists available to interpret pap smear screening tests is insufficient. This lack of personnel makes the test interpretation very time-consuming. To address this, deep learning techniques have been employed to detect cervical cancer cells and support cytologists. Therefore, an integrative approach with deep learning models and the ensemble techniques such as the maximum occurrence and the maximum probability score of cervical cells was proposed. The multi-cell assessment of the Pap smear slide allowed aggregate predictions of single cervical cell images using the proposed method. The classification results between pre-trained deep learning models and the proposed method were compared. In the experimental results, the proposed method can achieve an accuracy score of more than 97%, while the best pre-trained deep learning model can attain an accuracy score of more than 85%. Hence, the proposed method may have the potential to assist physicians or cytologists in the classification of cervical cell types for Pap Smear images.

Published: February 2024

Purpose: Re-irradiation for bulky recurrent sarcoma carries significant risks. Pulsed low-dose rate radiotherapy (PLDR) is an attractive option for re-irradiation due to inherent radiobiological advantages. Materials and Methods: We present two patients who underwent reirradiation using PLDR technique, followed by a literature review.Results: The first case is that of a 76-year-old male who developed an in-field recurrence of a bulky pelvic bone high-grade chondrosarcoma after he was treated with definitive radiotherapy using helical TomoTherapy with a total dose of 66 Gy. The patient was re-irradiated using PLDR with a shrinking field technique; 50 Gy in 2 Gy fractions followed by a boost of 20 Gy in 2 Gy fractions. The patient remains disease-free without significant toxicity 60 months post-irradiation. The second case is that of an 82-year-old female who was treated with a definitive irradiation of 66 Gy in 33 fractions for a right shoulder grade II chondrosarcoma. She developed an in-field recurrence 28 months later and presented with bulky disease causing brachial plexopathy and lymphedema. The patient was re-irradiated with a palliative intent to a total dose of 50 Gy in 2 Gy fractions over 5 weeks using PLDR. Brachial plexopathy resolved shortly after re-irradiation, but local progression near the surface was evident 8 months later. She passed away from unrelated causes 11 months later. Conclusion: We present two cases highlighting our early experience with PLDR, which was effective in the reirradiation of recurrent bony sarcoma. Our study highlights PLDR as an option for reirradiation in recurrent unresectable tumors.

“No nosso mesmo Brasil mil exemplos encontrei”: as províncias do Brasil e a experiência insurgente (1817-1850)
Authors: Winter Murillo Dias
Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem por objeto analisar os processos
da emergência do Brasil como corpo político autônomo e sua
estruturação como Estado nacional na primeira metade do século XIX.
Meu objetivo é investigar as conexões e as relações mútuas entre as
capitanias/províncias da Bahia, Cisplatina, Grão-Pará, Pernambuco e
Rio Grande do Sul, entre 1817 e 1850, através dos movimentos de
contestação política e guerra civil que ocorreram nestes locais.
Apresento a hipótese de que ao se aproximarem em função dos movimentos
de insurgência, grupos politicamente atuantes nesses lugares dividiram
vivências e lições, ajudaram a criar um espaço compartilhado e uma
linguagem comum que forneceu elementos para a construção do Estado e
da nação no Brasil. Desse modo, como objetivos específicos busco
compreender de que maneira se davam essas relações, a politização e a
militarização desses vínculos em um contexto de efervescência
política, tratadas como demonstrações das mudanças do advento da
modernidade no mundo ocidental. Como fontes principais utilizo as
correspondências e a imprensa.
Biocolonialidad del poder. Eugenesia, género y pacificación. Contrainsurgencia neomaltusiana: antropología política del Programa Nacional de Salud Reproductiva y Planificación Familiar (1996-2000) durante el Conflicto Armado Interno peruano.

Published: February 2024

El Perú, al igual que otros estados de la región amerindia1 (latinoamericana), es un producto de la modernidad cuya preocupación principal era y es la constitución de una autonomía política. Este proceso resulta particularmente problemático en su relación con las consecuencias del colonialismo y las nuevas formas de biopoder que generan tensiones internas, de una parte, con los descendientes de los pueblos originarios, dejadas de lado por el movimiento de independencia del poder virreinal y, de otra parte, con la lucha por la igualdad de derechos y oportunidades de las mujeres, quienes exigen, desde los márgenes de la decolonialidad, el reconocimiento de la autonomía política sobre sus propios cuerpos subalternizados.El Perú contemporáneo tiene una historia marcada por el conflicto armado interno (1980-2000), el gobierno autocrático del ex presidente – hoy preso por crímenes de lesa humanidad – Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) y una dinámica social donde el racismo, la corrupción, la exclusión y la violencia de género se han consolidado con graves repercusiones en las culturas andina y amazónica. Es pues, en dicho contexto de finales del siglo XX, que el Programa Nacional de Salud Reproductiva y Planificación Familiar 1996-2000 (PNSRPF, por sus siglas en español) fue presentado ante la comunidad nacional e internacional bajo el ardid de ser un medio moderno – en aparente diálogo con el discurso feminista proderecho a decidir (pro choice) – para reducir la pobreza en los barrios urbano-marginales y las áreas rurales del Perú. El presente estudio buscará dilucidar los vínculos entre el PNSRPF y la corrupción político-militar y económica en uno de los períodos de violencia política más cruentos y devastadores. La hipótesis central plantea que el programa nacional de salud pública fue de carácter antinatalista y neomaltusiano, y que correspondió con la ideología y lineamientos militares del Plan Verde2. Esto se tradujo en una estrategia de limpieza étnica bajo el doble manto de la contrainsurgencia y la pacificación. Así, plantearemos que el PNSRPF fue un claro ejemplo de colonialidad del poder contemporáneo. Un programa eugenésico y anatomopolítico, donde el control del útero indígena a través de la esterilización forzosa fue un arma de guerra del biopoder.
Indigeneity, Subalternity and Lakota Territorial Resurgence: Disrupting Urban Settler Colonial Order in a US Bordertown
Authors: Baudry Sandrine , Planchou Céline
Published: February 2024

At first glance, the concept of the subaltern seems to perfectly describe the position of Native Americans within contemporary US society, yet, until recently, it was not commonly used by Indigenous studies scholars. This has changed partly due to the emergence of the field of settler colonial studies, born of the dialogue between postcolonial and Indigenous studies. In particular, scholars have looked at the historical and contemporary role cities are playing in highlighting patterns of dispossession and resistance. In the article, we look at the contributions of this new theoretical framework, then focus on the case of Rapid City, SD, presenting its history of dispossession and violence, and showing how Indigenous resurgence challenges that history.
El viaje inmóvil. La experiencia del Mareorama en la Exposición Universal de París 1900
Authors: Lois Carla
Published: February 2024

Exposición Universal de París 1900 se instalaron máquinas y aparatos de divertimento que incorporaban las tecnologías más innovadoras. Uno de ellos fue el Mareorama, una enorme estructura que simulaba la cubierta de un barco.En este artículo examinaré, en primer lugar, las exposiciones universales desde el ángulo espacial para revisar cuáles fueron las proposiciones geográficas y las claves interpretativas para “leer” el mundo montadas en las exposiciones universales decimonónicas. En segundo término, analizo el Mareorama como objeto y como práctica de la modernidad poniendo el foco en los modos en que se utilizaron técnicas científicas para crear espectáculos basados en convenciones de simulacro e ilusión en las que el interés del público no pasaba por conocer los mecanismos de funcionamiento de los aparatos ni las sofisticadas explicaciones técnicas, sino por suspender la credibilidad y dejarse sorprender por las maneras en que esos desarrollos desafiaban la percepción ordinaria de los sentidos.
El mundo pasea por Uruguay: prácticas itinerantes del proyeccionista José Barrucci (s. XIX-XX)
Authors: Torello Georgina
Published: February 2024

El artículo reflexiona sobre las prácticas itinerantes y sus implicaciones en la cultura uruguaya y continental de entre siglos. Se centra, para eso, en la figura del empresario ambulante italiano, radicado en Uruguay, José Barrucci. Las primeras noticias sobre su actividad datan de finales del siglo XIX, cuando anuncia en la prensa de la capital su espectáculo de vistas fijas, y posteriormente, empieza sus giras por el interior del país y los países limítrofes, agregando, más tarde, el cinematógrafo. A través del rastreo de sus recorridos, los repertorios ofrecidos, las máquinas empleadas y las estrategias de propaganda desarrolladas, este texto quiere, amén de reinstalar al empresario olvidado entre los protagonistas del entretenimiento en el país, reflexionar sobre las estrategias espectaculares que emplea, y en particular sobre ese cruce mediático tan usual en el ámbito de las atracciones, pero insuficientemente explorado desde una perspectiva académica, especialmente en el contexto audiovisual latinoamericano.

Considering the shortcomings of large evaluation errors, long time, human, and material resources in the evaluation process of the current college teaching mode to improve the accuracy of the evaluation of college teaching mode and reduce the cost of the evaluation, this study proposes an evaluation method for college teaching methods based on deep learning algorithms. Firstly, the research status of the evaluation of college teaching mode is analyzed, and the reasons for the poor evaluation results of the current college teaching mode are found; then the existing deep learning algorithm is improved, and the effectiveness and speed of the method are verified by comparing with other models. Then, the evaluation model of college teaching mode is established, and machine learning is performed on the evaluation data of college teaching mode; finally, the evaluation data of college teaching mode is collected, and the application example test of college teaching mode evaluation is performed.
A possible case of glycogenic hepatopathy in a schoolboy with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Shalomi A. , Arulmoly K.
Published: February 2024

Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a rare condition that can occur in individuals with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, particularly in those with type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM). This condition is characterised by hepatomegaly and elevated liver enzymes. GH is associated with the accumulation of glycogen in the liver, which is a result of uncontrolled hyperglycemia and excessive glycogen storage in liver cells. We present a case of a 15-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with T1DM at the age of 8 and has experienced recurrent episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In this specific instance, he was admitted for treatment of DKA and was also diagnosed with GH.
Short-term results of combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction using a novel hamstrings graft construct in obese patients: a pilot study
Authors: ElGuindy Ahmed M F , Mohsen Ibrahim
Published: February 2024

Background

Elevated body mass index (BMI) was associated with increased complication rates including failures in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery.

We present our short-term results of our technique used for ACL reconstruction in obese patients with the aim to reduce chances for graft failure and improve outcomes.

Patients and methods

We present our case series of obese patients (BMI > 30) operated for ACL reconstruction during the period from January 2017 to January 2022 using a dedicated technique for ACL reconstruction. We are using hamstring tendons prepared in a single construct to reconstruct both the intra-articular ACL and the anterolateral ligament. All patients received the same surgical technique and associated injuries were operated on according to their indications and guidelines. All patients completed the subjective knee evaluation form of the International Knee Documentation Committee at the time of the procedure and at the last follow-up visit and assessment of knee laxity was performed using a KT-1000 arthrometer before the surgery and at the last follow-up.

Results

Twenty patients underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using this technique during the study period, with average follow-up period of 1 year. All cases were males, mean BMI was 32.2 (30.4–36.2), 18 cases were operated on using ipsilateral Semitendinosus and Gracilis grafts, 2 cases were operated on using contralateral knee hamstrings. All cases were instructed nonweight bearing for 6 weeks after surgery and received the same standard accelerated rehabilitation protocol. Two cases developed postoperative superficial wound infection at the graft harvest site that resolved with conservative treatment of oral antibiotics and wound care. The mean postoperative International Knee Documentation Committee score improved from 45.195 to 79.245 (P<0.001), and the mean KT-1000 arthrometer differential improved from 11.8 to 2.77 (P<0.001) and pivot shift tests were negative in the postoperative exam for all the cases.

Conclusion

ACLR in obese patients should be approached with care, our technique can offer a feasible solution to obtain an acceptable outcome, Further work is required to provide insight on the long-term outcome of ACLR in obese patients.
Evaluation of the results of acute acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using Double Endobutton technique

Published: February 2024

Background

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation is a common injury, which accounts for ~9% of all shoulder injuries. Surgical techniques for reconstructing or repairing ACJ dislocation have evolved over the last decades. Recent surgical techniques focus on reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligament to recover the stability of ACJ.

Patients and methods

This was a prospective case series study that included 23 patients with acute ACJ dislocation, admitted to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Kafr El Sheikh and Benha University. All cases were treated by coracoclavicular repair using Double Endobutton technique and Ethibond suture. The follow-up period ranged from 18 to 24 months postoperatively. Outcomes were assessed using Constant score and DASH score at of 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months, and final follow up. Radiological assessment was done using Zanca view and stress anteroposterior radiographs of both shoulders to compare acromiohumeral interval at the end of follow up.

Results

This study included 23 patients that were admitted to our department. Their mean age were 34.2 ± 2.3 years. The average time between injury and surgery was 5.2 ± 1.4 days. There were 20 men and three females. Regarding DASH score it improved from preoperative value of 88.3 ± 11.2 points to 14.3 ± 2.4 points. Regarding Constant score, it improved significantly from preoperative value of 45.3 ± 2.2 points to a postoperative value of 92.3 ± 3.6 points. Regarding acromiohumeral interval, the mean distance was 9.3 mm immediate postoperative period, and it was 10.1 at the end of follow up (P>0.05).

Conclusion

ACJ reconstruction using Double Endobutton technique is safe, easy, and effective technique in cases with acute ACJ dislocation with little postoperative complications and excellent clinical and radiological outcomes.
