DESIGN OF OPTIMAL INVERSE KINEMATIC SOLUTION FOR HUMANOID ROBOTIC ARMS
Authors: Abulhail Saif F. , Al-Faiz Mohammed Z. 
Published: December 2021

One of the main problems in robotics is the Inverse Kinematics (IK) problem. In this paper, three optimization algorithms are proposed to solve the IK of Humanoid Robotic Arms (HRAs). A Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Social Spider Optimization (SSO), and Black Hole Optimization (BHO) algorithms are proposed in order to optimize the parameters of the proposed IK. Also, in this paper, each optimization method is applied on both right and left arms to find the desired positions and required angles with a minimum error. Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) method is used to design and simulate the mathematical model of HRAs for both arms in which each arm has five Degree Of Freedom (DOF). The HRAs model is tested for performance by several positions to be reached by both arms in the same time to find which optimization algorithm is better. Optimal solution obtained by SSO, PSO and BHO algorithms are evaluated and listed in comparison table between them. These optimization algorithms are assessed by calculating the Computational Time (CT) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) for the absolute error vector of the positions. Calculation and simulation results showed that BHO algorithm is better than the other optimization algorithms from point of view of CT and RMSE. The worst RMSE is 0.0864 was calculated using PSO algorithm. But longer CT is 7.6521 second, which was calculated using SSO. While the best RMSE and shorter CT.are and 3.0156 second respectively were calculated by BHO algorithm. Moreover, in this paper, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed and built for motional characteristics of the HRAs model in the Forward Kinematics (FK) and IK. The optimization algorithms are designed using MATLAB package facilities to simulate the HRAs model and the solution of IK problem.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF FILTER BANK MULTI-CARRIER MODULATION IN MULTIPATH FADING CHANNELS
Authors: Abdulhussein Ali A. , Abdullah Hikmat N. 
Published: December 2021

Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) modulation is one of the most significant enablers for future 5G technologies. It is a modulation technique for resolving inter-carrier and inter-symbol interference using two possible methods: Frequency Spreading (FS) and Poly Phase (PP) implementation. Cyclic prefixes are used in OFDM for signal robustness, but they have some disadvantages in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. FBMC is used to solve the disadvantages of OFDM and save a bandwidth. In this paper, performance comparisons in terms of symbol error rate between OFDM and FBMC systems in AWGN and multipath fading channels are presented. The obtained results show that FBMC over performs OFDM in multipath fading channels and the improvement margin is increased as the number of subcarriers decreased.

Gennady Gorbaty's painting: crypto-realism as overcoming imitation of reality
Authors: Mishchenko Iryna 
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this article: analysis of Gennady Gorbaty's painting, in the work of which the transition from a realistic reflection of the world to the art of postmodernism, characteristic of Ukrainian art of the late 20th century, was reflected in a peculiar way. The methodology is the application of art analysis, methods of comparison and generalization, biographical and historical approach. The scientific novelty lies in the discovery of the peculiarities of the transformation of the traditional for Soviet art reflection of reality into visual practices of the late 20th – early 21st centuries on the example of the work of a particular artist. Conclusions. Gennady Gorbaty studied at the Kyiv State Art Institute (1981–1987), so his formation was significantly influenced by the traditional school of painting with a mostly realistic reproduction of the world around it and a purely academic hierarchy of genres. The socio-political situation in Ukraine in the late 1980s and early 1990s not only contributed to the liberation from such a view of art, but also intensified attention to the development of both contemporary world art and modernist manifestations that existed in the culture of the first half of the 20th century. At the same time, many artists became interested in the history of Ukraine, especially in its tragic or dramatic pages, which led to the emergence of numerous compositions with a complex system of symbols and associations, elements borrowed from the paintings of past eras. In the work of Gennady Gorbaty can be consistently traced a variety of influences, which demonstrate his search for his own plastic language, the gradual departure from the conditionally realistic art of the Soviet era and the formation of a peculiar manner of performance. This was facilitated by an acquaintance with Western European art of the late 20th century, as the artist has been working in Germany since the early 1990s. It was one of the German art critics G. Beck who defined the stylistics of G. Gorbaty's works as crypto-realism, in which the emotional beginning, reflected in the color scheme and expression of picturesque textures, is combined with supposedly hidden motives of visible reality. In the works of this author, the blurring of genres, the synthesis in one picture of elements of different artistic epochs – from the Middle Ages to postmodernism – is also noticeable.
The specifics of the formation and development of the artistic style of Mykola Malyshko (1961–1967)
Authors: Horpynych Yurii 
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article. The article identifies the main factors that influenced the formation and development of Mykola Malyshko’s artistic style in the context of the cultural and artistic processes of the 1960s. Methodology. The following scientific methods are combined: analytical, systematic, historico-cultural, contextual, comparative, and art analysis. The use of these methods allowed us to investigate the period of study of Mykola Malyshko at the Kyiv State Art Institute in 1961–1967, to outline the circle of communication of the artist, as well as to determine the characteristic features of his creative style. Scientific novelty. The work is the first fixation of unknown facts from the creative biography of Mykola Malyshko. Conclusions. During the studied period, Malyshko tries himself as an easel painter, monumental painter (mosaic), sculptor. After analyzing the currently existing information, namely «Svoboda, yak vyiavliaietsia, – tse volia dlia svavoli… : [besida Oleny Yehorushkinoi ta Pavla Hudimova z khudozhnykom M. O. Malyshko ta yoho druzhynoiu N. M. Denysovoiu], s. Maliutianka, Kyivskoi obl., 2012–2013 rr.», we can confidently assert that the main factors that influenced the formation and development of Mykola Malyshko’s artistic style in the 1960 s, were active participants in the activities of the club of creative youth «Suchasnyk» and attempts to move away from the methods of socialistic realism in art. This is clearly illustrated by: a mosaic portrait of T. G. Shevchenko made in 1961; exhibitions at the Taras Shevchenko Kiev State University 1963–1964; the development in 1967 of scenography on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Les Kurbas, which he implemented together with colleagues Viktor Grigorov and Viktor Ponomarev during his studies at the Kiev State Art Institute and in sketches from summer student practice in 1962 and 1964,that the artist himself considers significant in the formation of personal creative style.

Authors: Karpenko Olga 
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the study is to reveal the identification of common features in the work of Ukrainian avant-garde artists, which have the character of impressionism. Methodology of the study employs historical-logical, comparative methods, formal analysis and method of interpretation. Scientific novelty of the research consists in the role of impressionism in the formation of the creative manner of such artists of the Ukrainian avant-garde as O. Bogomazov, D. Burliuk, K. Malevich, O. Exter was first explored in the article. Conclusions. Experiments in the spirit of impressionism and post-impressionism helped the representatives of the Ukrainian avant-garde to free themselves from the method of repetition of the full-scale image towards the free transformation of the pictorial sensation and construction of the work with the help of purely pictorial elements, discarding the plot, literature, instructive character and many other layers. Impressionism was the first step in freeing painting from the boundaries of material form

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the theatrical direction of O. Korsunovas and analyze the innovation of his director's vocabulary. Methodology. Comparative and structural methods were applied, which contributed to the identification of the originality and diversity of innovative directorial vocabulary; the method of art history analysis, the typological-structural method, and the method of artistic-compositional analysis of stage works, thanks to which the director's "toolbox" has been studied and structured, etc. Scientific novelty. The directorial activity of Oskaras Koršunovas is investigated in the context of the leading strategies of modern European theater; based on the art historical analysis of the performances "There to be here", "Old" by D. Kharms, "Hello Sonya, New Year" by A. Vvedensky, "P.S. case OK "S. Parulskis," Roberto Zucco "B.-M. Colts, “Hamlet” by W. Shakespeare and others, the innovative ways of representation applied by the director were revealed and analyzed; the characteristic features of the director's vocabulary were determined and it was proved that it is an open and dynamic system that develops under the influence of urgent problems of modern society; previously unknown factual material was introduced into scientific circulation. Conclusions. The art of directing by O. Korsunovas is one of the most striking examples of contemporary theater, which deals with the problems of a modern person, and the specificity of its content and form emphasizes the crisis of representation of the late 20th - early 21st centuries, manifests itself through deep changes in relation to action, feelings, scene perception, fragmentation, the crisis of bodily mediation and invariant supports of representation, both at the level of setting and at the level of reception. Directing by O. Korsunovas is distinguished by a fundamental innovation of views, a desire to destroy the ideological, artistic, and methodological limitations of theatrical direction, a unique interpretation of classical plays as modern ones, with an emphasis on contemporary moments, an experimental development on the basis of a theatrical laboratory of unique metaphor and imagery. The research revealed that the characteristic features of O. Korsunovas' directorial vocabulary are: application of the principle of deformation, contrast, and transformation, which take the form of a tragic grotesque; coding in elements of presentation of principles related to the specifics of drama; using the subject as an abstract construction; the use of the chorus - an element of classical Greek theater - in the performances of works of modern drama, etc.

Published: December 2021

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar e caracterizar os medicamentos utilizados por mulheres acima de 18 anos e comparar os conhecimentos dessas mulheres sobre o medicamento com referências científicas do produto utilizado. É um estudo farmacoepidemiológico observacional transversal, com dados coletados por meio de um formulário respondido online voluntariamente, com acesso pelas redes sociais. A população alvo do estudo foi constituída por mulheres acima de 18 anos. Cerca de mil mulheres participaram do estudo, sendo na maioria brancas, jovens, classe média e residentes no Estado do Paraná. Anticoncepcionais, antidepressivos e analgésicos foram as classes terapêuticas mais citadas. A maioria das participantes demonstrou conhecer a indicação dos medicamentos em uso e declarou administrá-los nos horários recomendados, porém, ficou evidente a inobservância do tempo de tratamento e a prática de condutas inadequadas de utilização de medicamentos. Esses resultados evidenciam que existem necessidades e lacunas no cuidado voltado à saúde da mulher, particularmente em idade reprodutiva, que podem ser contempladas pelo aconselhamento farmacêutico.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a relação entre o estresse e o idoso, enfatizar a importância de estratégias de enfrentamento ao estresse na terceira idade. A metodologia utilizada foram consultas de livros e artigos, busca on-line em plataformas de pesquisas como o SCIELO, PEPSIC, EBSCO e Google Acadêmico proporcionando ao leitor a compreensão sobre o que é o estresse, de a como o idoso são percebidos pela sociedade, sua relação no idoso, quais os possíveis fatores que podem desencadear–lo durante a velhice e por fim reforçar a importância de estratégias de enfrentamento adequadas no combate ao estresse na terceira idade. Pode-se perceber que o estresse é a resposta do organismo a uma situação de perigo que prepara o corpo para fugir ou lutar, essa ação causa tensão e irritação onde o organismo reage a componentes físicos ou psicológicos quando há uma situação que provoque medo, excitação ou confusão, podendo acometer qualquer pessoa, independentemente de sexo e idade, e muitos idosos queixam-se sobre situações extremamente estressoras que influenciam diretamente na sua forma de perceber e viver a vida, a maneira como esses eventos estressores são percebidos possibilitam muita das vezes uma percepção equivocada da situação, fazendo com que o idoso tenha uma resposta inadequada frente ao estresse. Foi através disso que se entende que, mudanças contínuas que ocorrem em diferentes graus e intensidades e que são inerentes ao desenvolvimento humano, sendo preditores de estresse na terceira idade, podendo assim prejudica-los de forma extrema.

Sleep-disordered breathing is characterized by airway dysfunction that can occur in any age, but most prevalent in children, caused by the occurrence of respiratory effort, snoring or even by apnea during sleep. Therefore, the aim of this study was to survey the prevalence of sleep disorders associated with malocclusion in children aged 3 to 12 years in Mineiros, State of Goiás, Brazil. Material and Methods: this is a field research with a sample of 99 children affected by some type of sleep-disordered breathing and malocclusions. Data were collected through a questionnaire about sleep-disordered breathing and a clinical record carried out through intraoral clinical examination. Results: among the 24 children with SDB, 17 had SDB and Malocclusion, which is 70.8% of the children had SDB associated with malocclusion. Of the 75 children without SDB, 11 (14.7%) had malocclusion. Conclusion: No significant differences were found between sleep-disordered breathing and sex-related malocclusions.

O uso indiscriminado de medicamentos tem representado uma das maiores ameaças à Saúde Única, haja vista sua atuação na resistência antimicrobiana e seus impactos ao meio ambiente. Assim, busca-se como alternativa sustentável a esses fármacos, os óleos essenciais, substâncias com diversas atividades terapêuticas, destacando a eficácia no tratamento de dermatopatias de origem zoonótica, a exemplo escabiose canina, esporotricose, dermatofitose e leishmaniose tegumentar americana. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo realizar revisão bibliográfica acerca do emprego de óleos essenciais na medicina veterinária, destacando-se o tratamento das dermatopatias de origem zoonótica. Foi demonstrado o efeito acaricida, fungicida e fungistático dos óleos essenciais de Melaleuca alternifolia, Cedrus deodara, Azadirachta indica, Myrtus communis, Thymus vulgaris, Rosmarinus officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, Cinnamomum cassia, Eugenia uniflora e Plectranthus amboinicus. As dermatozoonoses apresentam crescente resistência a antifúngicos e antibióticos comerciais, o emprego de terapias alternativas utilizando óleos essenciais se faz relevante de forma a amenizar essa resistência, e proporcionar melhoria na sanidade dos animais. Diante disso, dentre os estudos avaliados é demonstrado que os óleos essenciais de Melaleuca alternifolia, Cedrus deodara, Azadirachta indica, Myrtus communis, Thymus vulgaris, Rosmarinus officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, Cinnamomum cassia, Eugenia uniflora e Plectranthus amboinicus apresentam resultado in vitro satisfatórios na terapêutica de dermatozoonoses de importância clínica, contudo, se faz necessário a realização de estudos in vivo para verificar a eficácia destes compostos, realizando-se um monitoramento de sua ação mediante as barreiras fisiológicas e metabolismo dos animais.
