Published: August 2023

IntroductionThis cross-sectional study explores the contributions of personal and contextual factors in the adjustment process of a sample of internationally mobile children and adolescents having relocated to Switzerland. Based on evolutionary developmental theories and recommendations by Research Domain Criteria and The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology theoretical frameworks, we hypothesized and tested a heuristic model of TCK adjustment, aiming to identify prevention and treatment targets tailored for our sampled population.MethodsWe assessed the relationships in the hypothesized models, particularly how perceived and acculturative stress influence TCK adjustment and whether the relationship between the predictors of TCK stress and the outcomes of TCK adjustment are mediated by resilience and family functioning. A total of 143 participants aged 7–17, having relocated internationally with their working parent(s), recruited in local and international schools in Switzerland, were included in this study. Data were collected using an online survey after we collected consent. We assessed factors of adjustment using validated questionnaires: perceived stress and acculturative stress and the potential mediating roles of family functioning and resilience. We measured the outcome of adjustment through mental health difficulties and sociocultural adjustment. We used path analysis to test the model.ResultsResults highlight the contributions of perceived stress and acculturative stress to TCK mental health and sociocultural adjustment. We also we found a mediation effect for resilience in the relationship between perceived stress and mental health. Family functioning was not a significant mediator in any relationship that we assessed.DiscussionWe discuss implications for future research, promoting TCK adjustment and preventative psychotherapeutic interventions.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionCerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong disorder of posture and movement which often leads to a myriad of limitations in functional mobility. The Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) is a parent-report measure of functional mobility for children with CP at three different distances (5 m, 50 m, and 500 m). This is a cross-sectional study which sought to translate and culturally adapt the FMS into Arabic and to validate the translated version. Functional mobility for children and adolescents with CP in Saudi Arabia was examined.MethodsThe translation methodology complied with the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 translation package. A total of 154 children with CP were recruited (mean age 8.16 ± 3.32 years). Parents were interviewed to rate the usual walking ability of their children on the Arabic FMS. The re-test assessment was done with 34 families. The mean time interval between the first and second sessions was 14.3 days (SD = 8.5), with a range of 6–37 days.ResultsConcurrent validity was explored using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between scores of the Arabic FMS with their corresponding score on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Spearman’s r values ranged between (−0.895 and –0.779), indicating strong to very strong correlations. The Test–retest reliability was examined using Cohen’s weighted kappa, which showed almost perfect agreements. There was greater limitation for functional mobility at longer distances as 55.2% of children could not complete 500 meters (FMS score N). Overall, there was limited use of wheelchairs for all distances (ranging from 9.1% to 14.3%). Levels IV and V on the GMFCS had less variation in FMS scores and most of the children in these levels either did not complete the distances (no functional mobility at all distances) or used a wheelchair for mobility.DiscussionThe Arabic FMS was shown to be a reliable and valid measure of functional mobility for children with CP in their environment based on the parental reports. Functional mobility varied at different distances and within each GMFCS level. The use of both the GMFCS and FMS when assessing children with CP is recommended.

PROBLEMS OF TEACHING LATIN TO FOREIGN MEDICAL STUDENTS AND WAYS TO SOLVE THEM
Authors: Pshenychna M. , Heorhievska V. , Khaustova M. 
Published: August 2023

The article is dedicated to the consideration of the specifics of teaching Latin at the School of Medicine to foreign students at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. Certain difficulties which arise before the teacher during the educational process due to the different level of language training of foreign students and decrease in students’ interest and motivation due to their failure to fulfil the teacher’s requirements, are outlined. The authors of the article propose to involve various teaching methods to enhance students’ educational and cognitive activity in Latin classes. They also pay attention to the need to master a sufficient amount of lexical material, noting that the list of obligatory grammar topics for students of the School of Medicine is relatively short. In order to develop future doctors’ linguistic mindset, acquire skills in the correct use of professional vocabulary and fluency in medical terminology in medical practice, the search for new methodological approaches to teaching Latin for English-speaking students has begun. Teachers’ experience demonstrates that the method of interdisciplinary learning is effective, since integration provides not only interconnection, but also interpenetration of individual academic disciplines into each other, which increases the cognitive activity of students and contributes to a more conscious assimilation of the material being studied. The use of information and communication technologies, as well as a combination of passive and active methods, including interactive ones, with the parallel use of semantisation and the brainstorming method, which involves putting forward creative ideas in the process of solving problems and stimulates students’ critical and creative thinking, are proposed to be used to increase the level of knowledge, the motivation, and the interest of students during the learning process. Pedagogical reflection is used for self-analysis of teachers’ work and updating the course curriculum in order to improve and transform traditional teaching methods in accordance with the problems faced by English-speaking groups.
СУЧАСНА ПРАВОСЛАВНА ЄВХАРИСТІЙНА ТЕОЛОГІЯ СПІЛКУВАННЯ ОЛЕКСАНДРА ФІЛОНЕНКА
Authors: Лозовицький В. 
Published: August 2023

Стаття присвячена аналізу євхаристійної теології спілкування О. Філоненка. Одним з перших в українській теології, він розвиває євхаристійну теологію спілкування, яку він бачить як альтернативу до існуючих у православному богослов’ї парадигм софіології та неопатристики. Метою статті є дослідження парадигмальної специфіки сучасної православної євхаристійної теології спілкування Олександра Філоненка
У статті з’ясовано, що євхаристійна парадигма теології спілкування бере свій початок у вченні Йоанна Зізіуласа про буття як спілкування Трійці, участь в якому стає сенсом і змістом життя людини та церкви. Людина може виявити себе у повній мірі лише через спілкування. Без нього вона закрита не лише для іншого, але й для себе. Не менш важливими компонентами і джерелами теології О. Філоненка є різні версії теології спілкування, представлені у напрацюваннях Антонія Сурозького, Марії Скобцової, Олександра Шмемана, Сергія Аверінцева. У статті встановлено, що методологічною основою теології євхаристійного спілкування стає філософія Іншого Еммануеля Левінаса, теологія дару Жана Люка Маріона, який обґрунтовує тезу, що подяка має передувати дару. Лише через подяку ми отримуємо дари і розпізнаємо Христа у них.
На основі герменевтичної методології та теорії парадигмального аналізу в статті з’ясовано, що євхаристійна теологія Олександра Філоненка є постметафізичною. Вона постає не просто сучасною альтернативою до метафізичних парадигм неопатристики й софіології, але й претендує на статус генетично «першої теології», від якої виникають усі спекулятивні теології і церковні доктрини. Теологія спілкування фактично є началом будь якого слова про Бога, тому, що починається з гімну, піснеспіву Богу, з його хвали і прославлення, яке у подальшому оформлюється у філософські та догматичні шати. Така теологія є синтезом літургіки, етики, містики та умоспоглядання. Джерела цієї теології Філоненко вбачає в описі досвіду учнів Христа, які впізнали в невідомому супутнику свого Вчителя.

Robot End-effector for Fabric Folding
Authors: Seino Akira , Terayama Junya , Tokuda Fuyuki , Kobayashi Akinari , Kosuge Kazuhiro 
Published: August 2023

<p>In this paper, we propose a robot end-effector for fabric folding of a fabric part of a garment along a straight line. In the garment production process, some of the edges of fabric parts of a garment need to be folded before sewing. Conventional automated folding system has a fixture designed for each folding fabric part and operation. The fixture is not universal and needs to be redesigned when the shape of the folded fabric part changes. In this paper, we consider performing fabric folding without using a fixture. We propose a concept of a robot end-effector for fabric folding of a fabric part along a straight fold line and develop a prototype of an end-effector referred to as“ F-FOLD ”(Free-form FOLDing). Folding of the edge of a fabric part is achieved by moving FFOLD along the desired straight fold line. Experimental results illustrate how F-FOLD works to fold a fabric part along a straight line.</p>

A Novel Circuit Topology for the Implementation of a 2nd order Chebyshev Type-II Low Pass Filter with Independent Frequency and Gain Tuning
Authors: Rane Prathamesh , Raja Immanuel 
Published: August 2023

<p> A novel implementation circuit for a Chebyshev type-II filter transfer function is presented in this brief. Chebyshev type-II filters provide steeper roll-off with a flat passband. Most discrete and IC implementations of filters do not allow for zeroes in the transfer functions and hence cannot implement such a filter transfer function. The mathematical formulation for the proposed circuit is fully developed to show the implementation of a Chebyshev type-II transfer function. The notable features of the proposed circuit include independent tuning of gain and bandwidth by varying a minimal number of passive components. The filter is implemented with discrete components and the functionality with independent bandwidth and gain tuning are demonstrated experimentally. Bandwidth tuning is achieved by varying 2 resistors and gain tuning is achieved by varying 1 resistor. A fully differential implementation for ICs is also developed. The proposed topology easily lends itself for cascading to obtain higher order filters. <br>

Published: August 2023

<p>Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have received significant attention in academia and industry for their remarkable advantages regarding spectral and energy efficiency. Employing a pair of low resolution digital-to-analog converters (DAC) at each antenna of the massive MIMO array is a cost and power efficient implementation scheme for such systems. To mitigate the resulting quantization distortion introduced by low-resolution DAC, various quantized precoding algorithms are proposed in the related literature. This study proposes an iterative distortion-aware precoder that can work with oversampling DACs in massive MIMO systems. We show that the precoder we propose outperforms the existing oversampling precoders of comparable computational complexity in the literature by efficiently maximizing the in-band error-rate performance while minimizing out-of-band emissions. We also make the performance analysis of the proposed precoder and quantized ZF for many scenarios including multiple base-stations at the adjacent channel bands and aliasing. </p>

Published: August 2023

<p>This paper introduces a novel approach to a complete contactless biometric system that takes a finger photo image as an input and performs various image processing techniques and authenticates the fingerprints for an easy, non-invasive system that is efficient and robust. While contact-based fingerprint recognition systems have produced ground-breaking achievements, these systems face issues with latent fingerprints, sensor degradation brought on by frequent physical touch, and hygiene issues. Thus, the next step towards solving these issues is developing a contactless system that counters all the mentioned issues as faced by a contact-based fingerprint recognition system. This paper introduces a novel deep learning architecture that fuses the scattering wavelet transform making it lightweight and computationally efficient. A unique combination of the Siamese network integrated with wavelets and the traditional minutiae-based approach builds the core framework for the recognition system. The combination of these techniques allows the system to perform fingerprint recognition with high accuracy. This approach performs with an Equal Error Rate (EER) of 2.5% on the IITI-CFD, 2.5% on the PolyU 2D Contactless Dataset, and 3.76% on the IITB Touchless Fingerprint Dataset. The system aims to achieve a balance between efficiency and economy. </p>

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar e discutir uma sequência didática envolvendo o uso do cartão-postal como recurso didático, realizada com uma turma de anos iniciais da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) de uma escola pública federal de Porto Alegre-RS. Especificamente, o objetivo das atividades propostas foi desenvolver o letramento digital e imagético dos discentes. O percurso examinado organizou-se em duas etapas: a primeira ocorreu durante o período do ensino remoto e a segunda, já no retorno ao contexto presencial. A turma que fez parte deste processo era composta por oito estudantes, com idades entre 25 e 72 anos. O referencial teórico utilizado na investigação foram formulações acerca do conceito de letramento, tais como as de Magda Soares (2002; 2014). A metodologia de pesquisa utilizada foi qualitativa, inspirada na pesquisa-ação. O material de pesquisa foi composto por práticas pedagógicas, observações de aulas, registros em diário de campo e fotografias produzidas pelos alunos. Dentre os resultados da pesquisa, foi possível identificar maior domínio de habilidades relativas ao letramento digital e imagético por parte do grupo de estudantes, bem como, conjecturar que o cartão-postal pode ser compreendido como um recurso didático potente para desenvolver diferentes conhecimentos em sala de aula.

Published: August 2023

A síndrome de Wolf-Parkinson-White (SWPW) é uma cardiopatia congênita, pré-excitação, decorrente de uma modificação no processo de condução cardíaca, provocando por vezes arritmias ocasionadas pelo feixe de Kent. Caracterizar os achados bucais, suas peculiaridades e o tratamento de um paciente com SWPW, ressaltando os cuidados a serem adotados, foi a finalidade desse trabalho. Paciente do gênero masculino, 21 anos, compareceu á Policlínica Odontológica da Universidade Do Estado do Amazonas (POUEA), na disciplina de pacientes especiais, para o atendimento odontológico de rotina. Na anamnese relatou apresentar SWPW, ter alergia a medicamentos a base de acetilsalicílicos (AAS) e fazer uso de Propofenona. No exame físico foram observados aspectos de baqueteamento nos dedos das mãos e pés, além de poliuria apresentada pelo paciente. No exame clinico intraoral notou-se fratura coronária no elemento 47 com presença de pólipo pulpar. O tratamento proposto e realizado foi a remoção do pólipo e endodontia do citado elemento. O tratamento odontológico ambulatorial em pacientes com SWPW pode ser realizado, desde que seja se conheça as peculiaridades da síndrome e os cuidados a serem tomados. É importante a atuação do cirurgião dentista na promoção de saúde bucal desses pacientes.
