Automatic vibration control method for grasping end of flexible joint robot
Authors: Sun Yufang 
Published: September 2023

Because flexible robots have flexible components such as reducers, there are problems of accuracy deviation and end vibration in the process of external interference and trajectory tracking. This leads to the proposal of a Sliding Mode Control Approach Based on RBF Neural Network (SMC-RBF) parameter optimization. This method is mainly applied to reduce the end vibration and running position error of flexible robot. Firstly, the Newton-Euler method is used to establish the dynamic model of robot considering joint flexibility. At the same time, the experiment optimizes the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) method through RBF neural network. The experiments verify the control methods of the two-joint flexible robot and the six-joint flexible robot respectively. In the control of two-joint robot, the maximum tracking curve error of SMC is only about 0.25 rad under the interference of pulse signal; And the recovery time is only about 1 s. In the control of 6-joint robot, the maximum error of RBF-sliding mode control method on XYZ axis is 0.7 mm, 0.25 mm and 1.25 mm respectively; The error on three axes is smaller than that of traditional PD control method. The results demonstrate that the tracking error of the improved mode control is small, the chattering phenomenon of the robot system is weakened as well.

Published: September 2023

Background:
Seed quality, an important determinant of germination and vigor potential, can be improved through seed priming. This study was therefore aimed at assessing the effects of steeping duration and inoculum concentration on the germination and seedling growth of five seed crops through priming with growth-promoting rhizobacteria.

Methods:
Broth cultures of five bacterial strains, belonging to Providencia vermicola (2 strains), P. rettgeri (2 strains), and Bacillus cereus (1 strain), isolated from rhizosphere were used for priming in the study. Seeds of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), soybean (Glycine max), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), sesame (Sesamum indicum), and okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) were used as experimental materials. To determine the effects of steeping duration, viable seeds of the respective crops were primed with broth cultures of the respective isolates and allowed to stand for a known duration (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 h). Then, another set of viable seeds was steeped in varying concentrations of the bacterial cultures for a period that was determined to be the optimal steeping duration in the first experiment.

Result:
At the expiration of both experiments, final germination, mean germination time, germination index, and vigor index of the respective seeds were estimated. Generally, higher final germination and seedling vigor index values were restricted to shorter steeping periods for cowpea and soybean. With respect to inoculum concentration, there was no consistent pattern with the parameters.

Conclusion:
The study revealed the primacy of steeping duration over inoculum concentration with respect to bacterial priming.

Published: September 2023

Background:
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with spatial memory impairment that is attributed to the oxidative imbalance in the brain. Palm dates were reported to have neuroprotective and antioxidant effects. This investigation examined palm date consumption for its impact on the decline in cognitive function and oxidative imbalance associated with DM using the streptozotocin (STZ) rat model.

Methods:
The palm dates extract was administered to rats orally (3.2 g per kg of body weight) for eight weeks. Memory assessment was performed using the Radial Arm Water Maze (RAWM). Hippocampal biomarkers of oxidative stress were evaluated.

Results:
STZ-treated animals revealed significant spatial memory impairment (short-and long-term) (P<0.05). Date consumption for eight weeks prevented the decline in spatial memory induced by STZ (P<0.05). STZ administration induced oxidation imbalance in the hippocampus as marked by the significant reduction in the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, and GSH/GSSG ratio as well as raised levels of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) (P<0.05). Date consumption for eight weeks prevented oxidative imbalance induced by STZ in the hippocampus (P<0.05).

Conclusion:
This study has verified the beneficial effect of palm dates on cognitive impairment and oxidative imbalance associated with DM.

Published: September 2023

Background:
Tungro, an important viral disease in rice, is a co-infection of rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) and rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV). Severe symptoms were reported in rice fields on two major islands in Indonesia: Jawa (Magelang District) and Sulawesi (Sidrap District).

Objective:
Sequences of global isolates currently registered in NCBI GenBank were examined with two new Indonesian isolates to understand the phylogeny of RTSV based on different genome regions as well as to spot the gap in the molecular data of Indonesian isolates.

Methods:
Transmission test of RTSV using the vector green leaf hopper was performed, and then the complete sequences of coat protein 1 (CP1) gene of Magelang and Sindrap districts were molecularly studied using MEGA X software and Recombination Detection Program.

Results:
The obtained complete sequence of coat protein 1 (CP1) gene of Magelang-7 (OQ426495) and Sindrap-9 (OQ426496) isolates were aligned with 39 isolates in NCBI GenBank. Sequences of other isolates in GenBank were also retrieved and then aligned according to six individual Open Reading Frames (ORFs) and ‘Full ORF’. Recombination analysis detected significant signals in the genomes of one partially and four fully sequenced isolates. Phylogenetic study also confirmed the frequent recombination among RTSV isolates clustered in two geographically separated groups: South East Asia and South Asia.

Conclusion:
Although the available data is still rudimentary, this study demonstrated that the CP1 gene of 21 isolates from different regions of Indonesia was highly identical among themself but divergent with isolates from other countries. Therefore, deep molecular comprehension on Indonesian isolates is necessary to manage the recurrent Tungro spread in the country.
Comparison, by Country, of the Uptake of COVID-19 Vaccination by Health Care Workers in the EU/EEA, January – June 2021
Authors: McGlacken Therese , Codd Mary 
Published: September 2023

Aims:
The aim of this study was to compare, by country, COVID-19 vaccination uptake by Health Care Workers (HCWs) from January to June 2021, to assist with policy making and prospective planning in these countries during the COVID-19 pandemic and into the future.

Background:
Health Care Workers (HCWs) are at high risk of exposure to COVID-19 when providing care to patients. We investigated the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination among HCWs in the EU/EEA and discussed the factors which influence this uptake.

Methods:
The study population included all the countries in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). The secondary data file was downloaded from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) website. Descriptive and comparative data were analysed and presented using Excel and Chi-square test of hypothesis.

Results:
The proportion of HCWs in EU/EEA countries ranged from 1.2% to 5.1% per population. From January to June 2021, the proportion of first and second dose vaccinations of HCWs ranged from 20% to 100% and from 21% to 100%, respectively. The Comirnaty–Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (COM) was the most administered vaccine in all EU/EEA countries, followed by the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine (MOD) and the Astra-Zeneca–Vaxzevria vaccine (AZ). In January 2021, a median of 29% of HCWs received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccination. Italy was the only country with a mandatory vaccination policy for HCWs. Vaccination uptake rates were statistically different among EU countries (p<0.05).

Conclusion:
Data such as these could be used in mathematical modelling potential future pandemics to predict vaccine up-take by selected, exposed, vulnerable sectors of the population, for whom it is relevant.
Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of Adopting and Using Telemedicine for Diabetes Care and Management: Qualitative Semistructured Interview Study Among Health Care Providers and Patients With Diabetes
Authors: Altabtabaei Rabab , Alhuwail Dari 
Published: September 2023

Background
Around the world, over half of the global population experiences noncommunicable diseases, resulting in premature death. Health care providers (HCPs) can deliver medical treatment from a distance by using digital advancements such as telemedicine. However, there is a limited understanding of the difficulties and opportunities of implementing telemedicine solutions in different socioeconomic and cultural environments, including Kuwait.

Objective
The purpose of this study is to (1) examine the obstacles and benefits of telemedicine in the context of diabetes treatment and management, as perceived by both HCPs and patients with diabetes; (2) investigate the nonfunctional requirements for telemedicine applications used in diabetes care and management; and (3) provide suggestions to enhance the integration and adoption of telemedicine in Kuwait’s health care system for diabetes care and management.

Methods
The research used a qualitative and exploratory design, with semistructured interviews as the main data collection method. Participants were recruited on the internet through social media platforms due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results were analyzed using thematic analysis and the Framework Method. The “diffusion of innovation” model was used as a perspective to interpret the findings.

Results
A total of 20 participants were included in this study—10 HCPs and 10 patients with diabetes—all of whom supported telemedicine. The HCPs reported that many diabetes cases could be managed through telemedicine, with only a few requiring in-person visits. Patients with diabetes noted the convenience and time-saving aspect of telemedicine. Both groups recommended the creation of a secure and user-friendly telemedicine system similar to popular social media platforms. Additionally, participants emphasized the importance of telemedicine during the pandemic as a way to prioritize patient safety.

Conclusions
The results of this study provide valuable insights into the needs and preferences of both HCPs and patients with diabetes in a resource-rich country like Kuwait to embrace telemedicine. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way medical care is provided and has pushed both groups to consider digital solutions for ongoing diabetes management and treatment.

Published: September 2023

A graph G is analytic odd mean if there exist an injective function f : V → {0, 1, 3, . . . , 2q − 1} with an induced edge labeling f∗ : E → Z such that for each edge uv with f(u) < f(v), is injective. Clearly the values of f∗ are odd. We say that f is an analytic odd mean labeling of G. In this paper, we show that the union and identification of some graphs admit analytic odd mean labeling by using the operation of joining of two graphs by an edge.

Published: September 2023

El agua es un bien indispensable para la sociedad, en las últimas décadas se ha hecho énfasis en la importancia de su consumo y de su uso responsable. Son varios los factores que han incrementado el uso del agua, tal como el crecimiento de la población, la expansión urbana y el aumento de ingresos de las personas. En ese sentido, el presente estudio analiza la demanda del consumo de agua, para lo cual se propone una metodología de econometría de series de tiempo con datos de la Junta Municipal de Agua Potable de Mazatlán, Sinaloa; asimismo, se hace énfasis en el objetivo once: “Ciudades y Comunidades Sostenibles”, para el Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas y América Latina CEPAL (2018). Los principales resultados arrojan que el consumo durante la pandemia fue mayor al consumo antes de la pandemia. También se observa que, al tomar la clasificación de zonas de las colonias del Instituto Municipal de Planeación, en las zonas cercanas o que incluyen la franja turística disminuyó su consumo durante la pandemia y en las zonas de la periferia incrementa el consumo de agua potable. Una de las razones que explica tal comportamiento es el confinamiento mundial por la pandemia de SARS-Cov-2.

Abstract
The pseudo-fruits of Dog Rose are a rich source of L-ascorbic acid and several other active substances, which means their high supportive therapeutic potential. The study aimed to examine the impact of the chosen technological procedure for the preparation of tablets containing rosehip powder on the amount of L-ascorbic acid in the final pharmaceutical form. Drying of the plant drug was performed at room temperature to avoid possible thermal degradation of this heat-sensitive compound. Similarly, drying of the granules after wet granulation in the oven was replaced by natural drying at room temperature. The composition of two types of prepared granule formulations differed in the filler – lactose (LAC) or microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Apart from the disintegration test, they meet the technological requirements for granules or tablets. Lactose was confirmed as a more suitable filler, which despite the unsuccessful disintegration of the granules, ensures the disintegration of tablets within 15 minutes even without the addition of a special excipient acting as a disintegrant. The content of L-ascorbic acid detected using isotachophoresis – capillary zone electrophoresis was 87.16 ± 5.06 µg in LAC tablets and 63.33 ± 2.83 µg in MCC tablets.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
This paper aims to conduct a systematic study on the career development and planning system of counselors in private colleges and universities in the new era. This study analyzes counselors’ cognition of career development with the help of Schober’s career development theory, analyzes counselors’ career planning through career choice theory, explores the influencing factors of college counselors’ careers based on the division of career development stages, and analyzes the degree of influence of different factors on counselors’ career development based on the ecological position model. When counselors make career planning, their factors are the most important, which are 4.5%, 9.06%, 22.46%, and 32.48%, higher than school factors, social factors, family factors, and role orientation, respectively. In terms of the degree of influence, the promotion policy and management system of private colleges and universities have the greatest influence on the career development of counselors, followed by the professional background and subjective will of counselors. Counselors in private colleges and universities should strengthen their career autonomy, improve planning techniques and methods to turn passivity into initiative and win career development opportunities, prepare career growth manuals, and strengthen career planning awareness.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Facing the information era of rapid development of the Internet, university watercolor education is in urgent need of finding a new development direction. Through the emerging education model of Internet+education, this paper regards knowledge sharing as the transaction behavior of buyers and sellers in the knowledge market and establishes a smart contract model based on the knowledge supply and demand functions. A blockchain knowledge-sharing-based watercolor painting classroom model is proposed to break the traditional teaching role and apply it to the teaching and practical analysis of watercolor painting in universities. With the Internet+ education model, the teaching diversity increased by 26.90%, and the teaching interactivity increased by 6.12% compared with the original. Nearly 60% of the students thought that the teaching effect of the Internet+ education mode was improved. In the teaching practice, the students’ watercolor painting works received 7.53% more A grades in color usage compared to the original. For the evaluation of spatial level, the students who received A grades increased by 18.76% compared to the original. The Internet+ education model provides a new path for the development of university watercolor painting education, which helps cultivate watercolor painting artistic talents with both inclusive artistic thoughts and unique personal artistic characteristics.

Authors: Lyu Yukun , Hou Ying 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
To improve the teaching level of saxophone performance in colleges and universities, this paper constructs a saxophone performance education optimization platform based on Bayesian theory. Bayesian clustering is used to informally cluster the saxophone performance education situation in colleges and universities, and the maximum likelihood algorithm is used to calculate the student behavior parameters. The Bayesian network tracking technique analyzes all learning behavior indicators to serve as a reference to obtain labels of learner motivation. To ensure the validity of the feedback metrics, the Bayesian stochastic calculation method was invoked to calculate the AUC (metric) mean ratio of the three feedback metrics. A practical teaching analysis was conducted to verify the platform’s timeliness. The results show that: The response time of login and resource search of the platform constructed in this paper is less than 2.5s and 1.2s, respectively, and the AUC mean ratio of three feedback metrics, namely, download rate, registration rate, and click rate, has improved by about 0.75%. Moreover, the positive attitude of university students towards learning has reached 88%. This shows the reliability of the educational platform constructed in this paper in optimizing higher education saxophone performance education, which can effectively improve the teaching level of saxophone performance education.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we study the multimodal discourse of automotive websites, aiming to contribute to the improvement and upgrading of automotive websites. To this end, this paper mines the data of advertising discourse, website visual effect, and feedback of auto website usage based on the KNN algorithm optimized by K-value selection strategy and analyzes the language effect of advertising discourse, rhetorical techniques, website page design, feedback of usage, and website advertising visual effect of the auto website with the help of multimodal discourse analysis framework. In terms of language, most of the page language and advertising language are concerned with syllabic symmetry, harmonization, and rhyming and focus on rhetorical techniques, such as 21% of the ads use similes and 14% use puns. In terms of content, more than 80% of people were satisfied with the design of the website and felt that the design of the website pages was reasonable, simple, and generous, and the ratio of positive to negative markers such as “satisfaction points” and “car quality evaluation” was close to 7:3, indicating a good recognition. The ratio of positive to negative marks for “satisfaction points” and “car quality evaluation” is close to 7:3, indicating good recognition. In terms of visual design, more than 80% of people think that video ads on auto websites are very effective and can arouse audiences’ interest and make them participate in them actively. Although the overall satisfaction of Chinese auto websites is good, there are many areas for improvement, and these aspects need to be optimized to present better results.
