Detecting humans in the robot workspace
Authors: Bogue Robert 
Published: August 2017

Purpose
This paper aims to provide a technical insight into a selection of robotic people detection technologies and applications.

Design/methodology/approach
Following an introduction, this paper first discusses people-sensing technologies which seek to extend the capabilities of human-robot collaboration by allowing humans to operate alongside conventional, industrial robots. It then provides examples of developments in people detection and tracking in unstructured, dynamic environments. Developments in people sensing and monitoring by assistive robots are then considered and finally, brief concluding comments are drawn.

Findings
Robotic people detection technologies are the topic of an extensive research effort and are becoming increasingly important, as growing numbers of robots interact directly with humans. These are being deployed in industry, in public places and in the home. The sensing requirements vary according to the application and range from simple person detection and avoidance to human motion tracking, behaviour and safety monitoring, individual recognition and gesture sensing. Sensing technologies include cameras, lasers and ultrasonics, and low cost RGB-D cameras are having a major impact.

Originality/value
This article provides details of a range of developments involving people sensing in the important and rapidly developing field of human-robot interactions.
The Pransky interview: Dr Jun Ho Oh, Professor and Director of Humanoid Robot Research Center, KAIST; Cofounder, Rainbow Robotics Co.
Authors: Pransky Joanne 
Published: August 2017

Purpose
The following paper is a “Q&A interview” conducted by Joanne Pransky of Industrial Robot Journal as a method to impart the combined technological, business and personal experience of a prominent, robotic industry PhD-turned-entrepreneur regarding the commercialization and challenges of bringing a technological invention to market. This paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
The interviewee is Dr Jun Ho Oh, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Director of KAIST’s Hubolab. Determined to build a humanoid robot in the early 2000s to compete with Japan’s humanoids, Dr Oh and KAIST created the KHR1. This research led to seven more advanced versions of a biped humanoid robot and the founding of the Robot for Artificial Intelligence and Boundless Walking (Rainbow) Co., a professional technological mechatronics company. In this interview, Dr Oh shares the history and success of Korea’s humanoid robot research.

Findings
Dr Oh received his BSc in 1977 and MSc in Mechanical Engineering in 1979 from Yonsei University. Oh worked as a Researcher for the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute before receiving his PhD from the University of California (UC) Berkeley in mechanical engineering in 1985. After his PhD, Oh remained at UC Berkeley to do Postdoctoral research. Since 1985, Oh has been a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST. He was a Visiting Professor from 1996 to 1997 at the University of Texas Austin. Oh served as the Vice President of KAIST from 2013-2014. In addition to teaching, Oh applied his expertise in robotics, mechatronics, automatic and real-time control to the commercial development of a series of humanoid robots.

Originality/value
Highly self-motivated and always determined, Dr Oh’s initial dream of building the first Korean humanoid bipedal robot has led him to become one of the world leaders of humanoid robots. He has contributed widely to the field over the nearly past two decades with the development of five versions of the HUBO robot. Oh led Team KAIST to win the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) and a grand prize of US$2m with its humanoid robot DRC-HUBO+, beating 23 teams from six countries. Oh serves as a robotics policy consultant for the Korean Ministry of Commerce Industry and Energy. He was awarded the 2016 Changjo Medal for Science and Technology, the 2016 Ho-Am Prize for engineering, and the 2010 KAIST Distinguished Professor award. He is a member of the Korea Academy of Science and Technology.
Money laundering detection system (MLD) (a complementary system of Rastin banking)
Authors: Bidabad Bijan 
Published: August 2017

Purpose
This paper aims to define a new system for detecting money-laundering activities by comparing tax payments (especially value-added tax) data to banking transactions data.

Design/methodology/approach
A money laundering detection (MLD) system provides the necessary bases for detecting deception and fraud. Though MLD is a complementary system of the Rastin Banking system, it can also be installed and executed separately.

Findings
The underground economic activities can be detected and traced by comparing banking information and transaction information in MLD system. It needs to force the direct transactors or other related forms of transaction to perform their money operations through the banks. In the next step, the tax information of transactors (in a chain of transactions) can be compared with them, and the incompatibility of the two sets of data will explore money-laundering operations.

Research limitations/implications
This system is novel and needs to be more elaborate to remove further practical problems and specific cases.

Practical implications
MLD system provides necessary protection for those who perform legal economic activities by detecting financial criminals.

Social implications
Money laundering harms individual and public rights as well as economies. Financial crimes, tax evasion, smuggling, conspiracy, embezzlement and various other offences are included in the general definition of money laundering, so detecting them will lead to important economic improvements in the society as well as international community.

Originality/value
MLD system provides structural and electronic bases for computerized tax data and banking data comparison.
A critical analysis of the effects of the Central Bank of Nigeria foreign exchange policy on financial inclusion, anti-money laundering measures and fundamental rights
Authors: Esoimeme Ehi Eric 
Published: August 2017

PurposeFollowing the drop in crude oil prices from a peak of US$114 per barrel in July 2014 to as low as US$33 per barrel in January 2016, the country’s reserves have suffered great pressure from speculative attacks, round tripping and front loading activities by actors in the foreign exchange (forex) market. The fall in oil prices also implied that the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) monthly foreign earnings had fallen from as high as US$3.2bn to current levels of as low as US$1bn. The net effect of these combined forces unfortunately is the depletion of the nation’s forex reserves. As of June 2014, the stock of forex reserves stood at about US$37.3bn but has declined to around US$28.0bn as of today. To avoid further depletion of reserves, the CBN adopted a number of policies including the prioritisation of the most critical needs for forex. This paper aims to critically analyse the effects of these policies on financial inclusion, anti-money laundering (AML) measures and human rights. Its aim is also to determine whether CBN’s Forex Policy does strike a fair balance between financial stability, inclusion, AML measures and human rights.Design/methodology/approachThis paper relies mainly on primary and secondary data drawn from the public domain. It also relies on documentary research.FindingsThis paper determined that the CBN forex policy does not strike a fair balance between financial stability, inclusion, AML measures and human rights.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper focuses on the effect of the most recent CBN Forex Policies on financial inclusion, AML measures and human rights. It does not address the older policies. Also, it does not address other vulnerable groups like low-income households. Its focus is on the under-served group.Originality/valueWhile many have written papers on CBN’s forex policies, none of those papers critically analysed the effects of these policies on financial inclusion, AML and fundamental rights. The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, for example, analysed the impact of these polices on the financial services sector; the manufacturing sector; food and household products; tyre and rubber industry; pharmaceutical sector, oil and gas sector; free trade zone sector; furniture manufacturers; and foam manufacturers. It made no mention of inclusion, money laundering and fundamental rights. Also, Vincent Haruna analysed the effect of these policies on Nigerians, particularly those engaged in international trade, and those who have children studying abroad. He neither specifically addressed financial inclusion nor did he make any mention of human rights and money laundering.
The current challenges of money laundering law in Russia
Authors: Defossez Delphine 
Published: August 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the new Russian law on Money laundering. Globalisation has turned the international financial systems into a paradise for money launderers. As much as globalisation has expanded opportunities. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the new Russian law on money laundering which brought some changes to the existing system was introduced in Russia in 2002. Even though it has improved the regulation on money laundering greatly, it has failed to efficiently combat terrorism. Overall, the Russian anti-money laundering regime has proved ineffective in terms of meeting its stated purposes of combating organised crime and terrorism. The limited success of the Russian anti-money laundering law stems largely from the fact that Russian banking system is structurally weak.Design/methodology/approachThis paper analyses the problems through literature review. Also, the problem will be looked at from an international law perspective, explaining why Russian efforts will not be efficient as long as no consensus is reached at international level.FindingsThis paper starts from the premise that Russian made great effort to comply with international recommendations but that its law fails to efficiently deal with terrorism finance partly due to the fact that no consensus exists at international level as to the definition of the terrorism. Furthermore, the doubt persists as to the real aim pursued by Russian Government while enacting the money laundering law.Originality/valueFew papers have been published about money laundering in Russia, but none of them look at the problem of the lack of definition of terrorism at international level to explain the deficiencies of the system in place.
South Pacific transnational money laundering typologies
Authors: Chelliah John , Prasad Anita 
Published: August 2017

Purpose
The paper aims to present typologies of transnational money laundering in South Pacific island countries, thereby filling a gap in the extant literature.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is based on seven significant transnational money laundering cases involving South Pacific island nations. It provides analyses of the modus operandi of criminals and classifies those according to typologies from anti-money laundering authorities and bodies.

Findings
Typologies of money laundering have arrived through a content analysis of seven cases involving transnational money laundering destined for South Pacific island nations. The typologies which have emerged show the predominant forms of transnational money laundering in this region. This knowledge could be useful to government policy-makers and financial institutions pursuing anti-money laundering initiatives.

Originality/value
There is a dearth of academic research into typologies of transnational money laundering involving the South Pacific. This paper makes a useful contribution to the extant literature by providing the most recent typologies in this respect.
Cross‐Border Residential Lending: Theory and Evidence from the European Sovereign Debt Crisis
Authors: Luque Jaime 
Published: August 2017

AbstractWe examine bank strategies to rebalance residential mortgage portfolios toward other geographical regions in the context of the European sovereign debt crisis. For banks in Greece, Ireland, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal and Spain (GICIPS), we find evidence of flight‐to‐quality if banks were undercapitalized and had high funding cost, and evidence of risky‐lending if banks were undercapitalized but without funding problems. For banks in core safe European countries, we find evidence of flight‐to‐quality among banks with high capital ratios, and risky‐lending among banks with low funding cost. We rationalize these empirical results with a general equilibrium model of cross‐border mortgage lending.
Rare Death Via Histamine Poisoning Following Crab Consumption: A Case Report
Authors: Yu Yang , Wang Ping , Bian Ligong , Hong Shijun 
Published: August 2017

AbstractHistamine poisoning (scombroid food poisoning) is a toxicity syndrome that results from eating spoiled fish. To date, however, few poisoning (or mortality) cases have been reported in relation to crab consumption. Here, we describe a very uncommon case in which a 37‐year‐old woman and her 14‐year‐old son ate cooked crabs (Scylla serrata), resulting in the death of the female. Samples of vomitus, food residue, liver tissue, gastric content, intestinal content, and cardiac blood were analyzed by high‐performance liquid chromatography. Toxicological analysis revealed that histamine concentrations were very high in the cooked crab (47.08 mg/100 g) and intestinal content (22.54 mg/100 g). Comparing our toxicological results, police investigations, and family member statements, it can be assumed that the decedent ingested spoiled crabs, and by excluding other causes of death, lethal intoxication with histamine poisoning was confirmed.
Estimating Biological Characteristics With Virtual Laser Data
Authors: Mullins Ryan A. , Albanese John 
Published: August 2017

AbstractLaser scanning technology is increasingly being used in forensic anthropological research to obtain virtual data for archival purposes and post hoc measurement collection. This research compared the measurement accuracy of two laser scanners—the FARO Focus3D 330X and the FARO Freestyle3D—against traditionally obtained (i.e., by hand) control data (N = 454). Skeletal data were collected to address a novel question: the ability of laser scanning technology to produce measurements useful for biological characteristic estimation, such as sex and stature. Results indicate that both devices produced measurements very similar to control (c. 3‐mm average absolute error), but also illuminate a tendency to under‐measure. Despite these findings, the virtual data produced sex and stature estimates that varied little from control‐produced estimates, signifying the usefulness of virtual data for preliminary biological identification when the skeletal elements are no longer available for physical analysis.
Fatal Myocarditis Following Treatment with the PD‐1 Inhibitor Nivolumab
Authors: Matson Daniel R. , Accola Molly A. , Rehrauer William M. , Corliss Robert F. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractTherapeutic antibodies targeting the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) pathway function as immune checkpoint inhibitors, allowing the immune system to recognize tumors which otherwise escape immune surveillance. However, these agents can also elicit an autoimmune response by inhibiting the ability of non‐neoplastic tissues and regulatory cells to suppress the immune system. Here we present a fatal case of active myocarditis in a 55‐year‐old man with non‐small‐cell lung cancer which occurred following monotherapy with the PD‐1 inhibitor nivolumab (Opdivo). He presented with acute right‐sided heart failure and died 1 day after admission. Postmortem examination revealed multiple gelatinous lesions in the myocardium of the interventricular septum and the bilateral atria and ventricles which had microscopic features diagnostic of myocarditis. Subsequent studies failed to identify an infectious cause. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are an increasingly common addition to anticancer regimens and they should be considered in the evaluation of acute myocarditis.
Do you see what I see: A mother's plea
Authors: Nydam Kees , Soole Rebecca 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThere is sometimes dissonance between the medical services that the general public expects an ED to provide and the acute critical care that emergency clinicians hope to provide. One explanation for this is that the ED is both a territory and a meeting place for a cornucopia of clinicians, some of whom are not ED clinicians themselves. Roles are sometimes ambiguous and location‐specific. Recently, one Queensland mother believed that her son's suicide could have been prevented had emergency staff been better educated. This perspective aims to reflect on several pertinent questions: Should suicide risk be treated as a medical emergency? Is suicide prevention everyone's business? Is suicide risk assessment and management a core component of ED? How common, precise and non‐stigmatising is the language around suicide? To what extent is that language underpinned by mythology rather than fact? For some, these will be inconvenient questions. How they are answered is undoubtedly framed within the language used when discussing suicide.

Published: August 2017

AbstractInvasive pest species pose a major threat to agricultural production around the world. Until recently, the Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia Kurdjumov, a major pest of wheat and barley crops worldwide, was considered a high‐priority exotic pest threat to the Australian grains industry. Here, we document the initial detection and establishment of D. noxia in Australia in 2016. These are the first records for this genus from South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. Morphological and molecular information is presented for confirmed diagnosis of the species based on voucher specimens. Known distribution data are provided, along with a list of Poaceae hosts on which D. noxia has been recorded, and a brief description of the typical damage symptoms caused by these aphids. The potential impact of this aphid on Australian cereal production is discussed, and we identify research areas required to underpin future management of this new threat to the Australian cereal industry.

Published: August 2017

AbstractReliance on broad spectrum insecticides for pest control has led to significant environmental damage, human health problems and rapid evolution of insect resistance. These shortcomings have caused a renewed interest in exploring biologically based pest control methods. Among these, the use of plant essential oils, hydrolates and other natural products offer a promising alternative to broad spectrum pesticides. Here, we explored the effect of several bioproducts on pupal and adult mortality (through contact and ingestion) of the two most important pest species of fruit production in South America, South American fruit fly,Anastrepha fraterculusand Medfly,Ceratitis capitata. Topical application of different bioproducts produced different effects on pupal mortality ofA. fraterculusandC. capitata.Essential oils ofBaccharis dracunculifoliaandPinus elliottii,both containing high proportions of α and β‐pinene and limonene (among other compounds), caused 100% mortality onC. capitatapupae and strongly suppressed adult eclosion ofA. fraterculusin comparison with controls. Extracts ofSolanum granulosumplusRicinus communisalso caused a moderate yet significant reduction in adult eclosion when compared with the control. All other tested products had no effect on adult emergence. Toxicity on adults through ingestion was greatest for extracts ofS. granulosumplusR. communis, followed by Spinosad (Flipper®) andB.dracunculifoliaoil (although in these two cases survival was above 40%), while other tested products had no effect on adult mortality. We discuss future research and the potential use of some of the tested products as a component for rational pest management strategies.

SummaryRelationships between muscular strength and arterial stiffness as well as between muscle mass and arterial stiffness have been observed suggesting a link between the neuromuscular system and vascular health. However, the relationship between central arterial stiffness and absolute and relative strength along with muscle mass has not been investigated in both sexes across a broad age range. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between central arterial stiffness and absolute and relative strength as well as between central arterial stiffness and lean body mass (LBM) in men and women across a broad age range. LBM, central arterial stiffness and strength were measured on 36 men and 35 women between the ages of 18 and 75 years. Strength was measured on five machine resistance exercises and summed as one measure of overall strength (absolute strength). Relative strength was calculated as total strength divided by LBM (relative strength). Central arterial stiffness was inversely related to both absolute (r = −0·230; P = 0·029) and relative strength (r = −0·484; P < 0·001) but not LBM (r = 0·097; P = 0·213). The relationship between central arterial stiffness and relative strength was attenuated but still present when controlling for either age, per cent body fat, LBM or mean arterial pressure. These results suggest that, across a wide age range, the expression of relative muscular strength has a stronger relationship with central arterial stiffness compared to either LBM or absolute strength. This suggests that muscle function more than muscle mass may be coupled with vascular health.
