The indemnification of uncertainty and disturbance which is added to non-linear systems by an Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ISMC) design. the key target of this paper is designing a sturdy controller to observe the performance of a 2-link robot. The nonlinearity in mechanical systems is a shared issue that the researchers are facing in formulating control systems for it. The best solution to this problem is a design Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for controlling a nonlinear system. In the current paper, 2-link robot is studied which suffering from disturbances and parameter uncertainty and coulomb friction as additional to friction inertia of the system for each link. firstly, Classical Sliding Mode Controller (CSMC) is designed and then Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ISMC). As known, CSMC includes two phases: reaching phase and sliding phase. SMC is suffering from the known phenomenon as "chattering" which is supposed as a critical case and unsuitable characteristic. chattering is described as a curvy movement span the switching surface. In the current study, the chattering is attenuated by employing a saturation function alternative of a sign function. Although SMC can be considered as a good way of controlling nonlinear systems. Where it continues to suffer from the long settling time as undesired features. ISMC is a good method can be employed for reducing the settling time and controlling a nonlinear system. ISMC is easy, robust execution and supposes as an active and strong technique. The most significant advantage in ISMC designing, the reaching phase is canceled that considered a major part of designing classical SMC. The 2 link Robot system was used for proving the performance of CSMC and ISMC algorithms. The outcomes received from the simulations utilizing the ISMC and CSMC which fulfilled asymptotic stability for the system. In comparative between CSMC and ISMC. ISMC is better than CSMC in the good performance of tracking the desired position with less time. Finally, MATLAB2019a software package has relied upon this work.

Erich Maria Remarque-Friedenszentrum istnieje od 1997 roku, choć jego działalność w nowym budynku poprzedziło najpierw powołanie do życia centrum dokumentacyjnego przy Uniwersytecie w Osnabrück (1985), a parę lat później archiwum. Celem tych działań było upamiętnienie urodzonego w Osnabrück pisarza E.M. Remarque’a, zbieranie materiałów o życiu i twórczości oraz popularyzowanie jego spuścizny literackiej. Przez trzydzieści lat centrum poszerzyło znacząco swój zakresdziałania, stając się nie tylko archiwum, ale także placówką badawczo-naukową, edukacyjną i wydawniczą. Zbliżające się jubileusze – 50. rocznica śmierci pisarza i 125. urodzin – skłaniają do podsumowania, refleksji nad historią powstania i rozwoju centrum, a także do postawienia pytania o zadania i możliwościach na przyszłość.
The effects of pressure biofeedback on hip and trunk muscle activity and lumbopelvic alignment during one-leg standing
Authors: Kim Soo-Yong , Yu Il-Young , Kang Min-Hyeok 
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: During one-leg standing (OLS), optimum activity of the gluteus medius (Gmed), multifidus (MF), and quadratus lumborum (QL) muscles relies upon maintaining neutral lumbopelvic alignment. However, no studies have examined how using pressure biofeedback during OLS affects the activity of these muscles and the concomitant alignment of the pelvis and trunk. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pressure biofeedback on the activity of the Gmed, MF, and QL and the femoropelvic and trunk lean angles during OLS. METHODS: Twenty-four healthy males performed OLS with (PB[Formula: see text]) and without (PB[Formula: see text]) pressure biofeedback. For all OLS conditions, a pressure sensor was placed between the lateral surface of the humerus on the non-supporting side and the wall. Under the PB[Formula: see text] condition, participants performed preferred OLS while the examiner measured the maximum pressure caused by trunk lean. Under the PB[Formula: see text] condition, participants were asked to perform at a threshold of 50% of the maximal pressure (PB[Formula: see text] 1 condition) and with minimal change in pressure (PB[Formula: see text] 2 condition). Muscle activities of MF, QL, and Gmed as well as the femoropelvic and trunk lean angles were measured under various OLS conditions. RESULTS: The activity of the Gmed, MF, and QL was greater under both PB[Formula: see text] conditions than under the PB[Formula: see text] condition ([Formula: see text] 0.05). Also, both PB[Formula: see text] conditions resulted in a greater femoropelvic angle and reduced trunk lean angle. There were no significant differences in muscle activity, femoropelvic angle, or trunk lean angle between PB[Formula: see text] 1 and PB[Formula: see text] 2 ([Formula: see text] 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that pressure biofeedback is a useful modality for increasing the activity of the Gmed and trunk muscles, especially the MF muscle on the non-supporting leg side, and for preventing compensatory movements such as trunk deviation and pelvic lateral deviation during OLS.
Muscle activation and biceps brachii strength under manual fixation of the scapula and different loading conditions
Authors: Yun Sungjoon , Kim Yongwook 
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Few studies have reported the contribution of isometric-specific exercise of the biceps brachii muscle to increased strength under manual fixation of the scapula. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the activation amplitude of the biceps brachii (BB), serratus anterior (SA), and upper trapezius (UT) in a supine lying posture based on various exercise conditions. METHODS: The EMG activity of BB, SA, and UT was measured in 25 healthy adults while performing maximal elbow flexion exercise with or without manual stabilization of the scapula in two different loading conditions. RESULTS: Muscle activation of the BB was significantly greater when performed with manual fixation of the scapula under the wrist-loading exercise condition ([Formula: see text] 0.05) but manual fixation of the scapula or absence thereof did not have an effect. Elbow flexion force was significantly increased when applying manual fixation to the scapula in both the hand and wrist-loading exercise conditions ([Formula: see text] 0.05). There were no interaction effects between exercise conditions and manual fixation (with or without) in any of the EMG activation values ([Formula: see text] 0.05). CONCLUSION: Manual stabilization of the scapula is a useful therapeutic technique to increase BB strength. Such an intervention may also be indicated for accurate strength measurement of this muscle.

Introduction: The ginseng extract is an herb that has been used for many purposes such as analgesic effect. Dopamine D2 receptors are involved in the regulation of pain in humans. Therefore, the present investigation aims to study how pretreatment with aqueous-alcoholic extract of ginseng can affect dopamine D2 receptors’ pain sensitivity. Methods: We used 45 adult male rats weighing 250±20 for this study. Animals were maintained in a standard condition at a temperature of 21°C-24°C. The experimental groups were as follows: 1. Sham 1 (intraperitoneal [IP] injection of normal saline); 2. Sham 2 (intracerebroventricular [ICV] injection of artificial cerebrospinal fluid [ACSF]); 3. Experimental 1 (IP injection of ginseng extract); 4 and 5. Experimental groups 2 and 3 (IP injection of ginseng extract + bromocriptine 10 and 30 µg/rat by ICV injection); 6 and 7) experimental groups 4 and 5 (IP injection of ginseng extract + chlorpromazine 20 and 40 µg/rat by ICV injection). Ginseng extract 100 mg/kg/d was used for 7 days. Pain sensitivity test was done in all groups with the formalin test. Lateral ventricles of the rats were cannulated unilaterally by the stereotaxic procedure. Results: Our data showed that ginseng (100 mg/kg/d) significantly (P<0.05) decreased pain sensitivity compared to the sham 1 group. Bromocriptine in two doses significantly decreased pain sensitivity compared to the sham 2 group. Chlorpromazine in high doses significantly increased pain sensitivity compared to the sham 2 group. Conclusion: The present results indicate that ginseng can modulate the D2 receptor of the dopamine system in the control of pain sensitivity in the formalin test. Because bromocriptine and ginseng have similar effects, it seems that they had synergistic effects.

Authors: Mashkov V. G. 
Published: November 2020

Introduction. Currently, the development of safe helicopter landing systems as the most complex and dangerous stage of a flight is one of the priority tasks. A significant number of companies in Russia and abroad are engaged in its solution. Landing on unprepared (unequipped) sites with snow-ice cover may be caused by the need to deliver units, cargo and ammunition in combat conditions, search and rescue operations, evacuations of victims, etc. A key factor for a landing decision is information about the height of snow and about the depth of ice cover. In the paper remote identification of the state of snow-ice cover, excluding the need to present any person (crew member or rescue worker) on a landing site is proposed.Aim. To develop a method for the remote identification of the state of snow-ice cover used to determine the possibility of a helicopter - type aircraft safe landing on a reservoir with snow-ice cover.Materials and methods.Numerical simulation of echo signals Fresnel reflection coefficients polarization ratio was realized in MatLab. Vertical and horizontal polarizations in the range from 25 to 45 degrees were simulated.Results.Intervals of polarization relations correspond to the interval density of snow-ice layers for fixed angles. For example, when θ = 34 for dry snow ρds= 100…500 kg/m3(ε'ds= 1.162…1.984) –Prm= 5.6915...3.3266, dry firn ρdf= 500…700 kg/m3(ε'df= 1.984…2.51) –Prm= 3.3266...2.8311, dry ice ρdi= 700…913 kg/m3(ε'di= 2.51…3.179) –Prm= 2.8311...2.4753. A layer reconstruction inverse problem was solved by indirect determining of complex relative permittivity of each successive underlying layer with 10-2 real part resolution. The identity of the obtained characteristics of snow-ice layers with calculated (standard) values was established.Conclusion.Remote identification of components of a snow-ice cover structure allows one to automate the process of evaluating of landing possibility. Thereby it reduces a decision-making time and increases a level of safety. In contrast to the known methods of identification of the surface layer the identification of multilayer medium layers was carried out.

Published: November 2020

Objective Stigma towards mental illness has been described in many health professions at the undergraduate level, but not in the discipline of paramedicine. The objective of this research was to describe levels of stigma towards people with mental illness as self-reported by undergraduate paramedicine students in Australia, Finland, New Zealand and South Africa. Design Using a cross-sectional design, an online survey was administered consisting of a validated instrument measuring self-reported stigma levels. Setting Four undergraduate paramedicine university programs in Australia, New Zealand, Finland and South Africa. Method The Opening Minds Scale for Health Providers (OMS-HC) is a validated, 20-item instrument measuring self-reported stigma. The 20 OMS-HC items were summed and generalised linear models with log link and Poisson family were used to examine associated factors. Results The overall level of self-reported stigma across students from all countries was 53, on a scale ranging from 20 (‘least stigmatised’) to 100 (‘most stigmatised’). Compared with the Australian cohort, total stigma scores increased significantly by 8% in New Zealand (p=0.01), 15% (p<0.001), and 18% in South Africa (p=0.002). Subscale analysis revealed high scores for social distance as a construct of stigma more broadly. Conclusion The findings provide an important baseline that can be used by paramedicine programs to inform development of mental healthcare curricula seeking to reduce stigma during the formative undergraduate years of professional development. The findings can be applied in a teaching and learning setting as source material to stimulate discussion and promote student self-reflection in a range of teaching activities.
Time to add screening for financial hardship as a quality measure?
Authors: Bradley Cathy J. , Yabroff K. Robin , Zafar S. Yousuf , Shih Ya‐Chen Tina 
Published: November 2020

AbstractCancer treatment is associated with financial hardship for many patients and families. Screening for financial hardship and referrals to appropriate resources for mitigation are not currently part of most clinical practices. In fact, discussions regarding the cost of treatment occur infrequently in clinical practice. As the cost of cancer treatment continues to rise, the need to mitigate adverse consequences of financial hardship grows more urgent. The introduction of quality measurement and reporting has been successful in establishing standards of care, reducing disparities in receipt of care, and improving other aspects of cancer care outcomes within and across providers. The authors propose the development and adoption of financial hardship screening and management as an additional quality metric for oncology practices. They suggest relevant stakeholders, conveners, and approaches for developing, testing, and implementing a screening and management tool and advocate for endorsement by organizations such as the National Quality Forum and professional societies for oncology care clinicians. The confluence of increasingly high‐cost care and widening disparities in ability to pay because of underinsurance and lack of health insurance coverage makes a strong argument to take steps to mitigate the financial consequences of cancer.
