Development of a Mimic Robot—Learning From Demonstration Incorporating Object Detection and Multiaction Recognition

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

With the trends of DIY movements and maker economy, great needs for the applications of low volume automation are expected. Various approaches have been proposed by moving from low level coding to more intuitive methods for robots to perform tasks. In this article, a vision-based learning from demonstration (LfD) system is proposed, where a mimic robot is developed to learn from human demonstrations to manipulate a coffee maker. Employing two cameras as sensing devices, the proposed LfD system integrates object detection and multiaction recognition to build an action base, where object recognition is achieved by You only look once (YOLO) deep learning architecture, while multiaction recognition is carried out by an Inflated 3D ConvNet (I3D) deep learning network followed by a proposed statistically fragmented approach to enhance the action recognition results. Based on the sequential order of actions in the action base, tasks demonstrated by humans can be reproduced by the mimicking robot. To validate the proposed approach, manipulation of a coffee maker is adopted as an example, where the proposed system is capable of reproducing the tasks demonstrated by a human under different circumstances without knowledge in computer programming or robotics.
VISUAL MEDIA USED IN INTRODUCING VOCABULARY AT TK IT AL-MA’UN SENGKALING

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In Indonesia, Kindegarten students have the opportunity to learn English as one of the local load subjects when necessary. Teaching English in Kindegarten seems to be in line with the assumption that learning at young age will gain a better result than at older age. Teaching English to young learners is not the same as that to the adult learners. However, the teacher needs to understand about learning strategies and teaching media that facilitate the teaching learning process.

This study is focused on the describing the use of visual media in teaching English vocabulary to young learners of TK IT Al-Ma’un Sengkaling. The focus of the research were the kinds of visual media that were used by the teacher in teaching English vocabulary, the problems faced by the teacher in teaching English vocabulary in using the visual media, and the teacher’s way to solve the problems.

In conducting this research, the writer used descriptive qualitative research design. The subject of this research was the English teacher at the class A of TK IT Al-Ma'un Sengkaling. The instruments used by the researcher to collect the data were observation and interview.

The result of the research showed that the English teacher at TK IT Al-Ma’un Sengkaling used five of visual media in teaching English vocabulary to young learners. They are whiteboard, stick cards, magic box and real objects. Those visual media were very effective and helpful for the teacher and the students. In implementing the visual media, the teacher faced some problems. The first problem was the lack of teacher’s ability in creating the visual media. It was overcome by joining some courses or training and had cooperation with other teachers and students in making visual media. The second problem was related to the time allotment in teaching vocabulary by using visual media. To overcome this problem, the teacher prepared the visual media related to the materials that would be taught in the next meeting.

The Effects of Phosphorus Fertilization After Incorporation ofGreen Manure Crops to Jeju Volcanic Ash Soils on Potato Yields,Available Phosphate Contents in Soil, and Phosphorus Balances

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The volcanic ash soils from the Jeju province have low available phosphate because of the high phosphate fixing power of the soils. Phosphorus fertilizerwas dressed after cultivating green manure crops and before cultivating potatoes in order to investigate potato yields, the available phosphate contents, and phosphorus balance in the soils.Green manure crops cultivated in this study were hairy vetch alone and hairy vetch and rye. During potato cultivation, four treatments were conducted in the experiments; NF (non fertilizer), P fertilizer (N-P-K = 0-25-0 kg 10a-1), NK fertilizer (N-P-K = 18-0-19 kg 10a-1), and NPK fertilizer (N-P-K = 18-25-19 kg 10a-1). There were no differences in the yields of potato stem and tuber from the cultivation plots of different green manure crops. However, in the plots with single-sown hairy vetch and mixed-sown hairy vetch and rye, the yields of potato stem and tuber were higher in the P fertilizer plot than in NF plot. The yield of tuber among the treatments with mixed-sown hairy vetch and rye was the highest in the NPK fertilizer plot. The available phosphate content in soils initially increased with time in all plots, but began to decrease gradually after Oct. 18. The available phosphate contents were high in the plots for phosphate fertilization, and the difference in available phosphate content between non-phosphorus fertilizer plots and phosphorus fertilizer plots increased with time. In the single-sown hairy vetch and mixed-sown hairy vetch and rye plot, the phosphorus balances in NF plot and NK fertilizer plot were very low, while those in the P fertilizer plot and NPK fertilizer plot were high. In conclusion, available phosphate contents in soil and the potato yields were increased by phosphorus fertilization when potatoes planted after cultivating hairy vetch and rye together, compared to hairy vetch alone. Phosphate balance according to soil incorporation of green manure crops under different treatments.
Interagency collaboration models for people with mental ill health in contact with the police: a systematic scoping review

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective To identify existing evidence on interagency collaboration between law enforcement, emergency services, statutory services and third sector agencies regarding people with mental ill health. Design Systematic scoping review. Scoping reviews map particular research areas to identify research gaps. Data sources and eligibility ASSIA, CENTRAL, the Cochrane Library databases, Criminal Justice Abstracts, ERIC, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PROSPERO and Social Care Online and Social Sciences Citation Index were searched up to 2017, as were grey literature and hand searches. Eligible articles were empirical evaluations or descriptions of models of interagency collaboration between the police and other agencies. Study appraisal and synthesis Screening and data extraction were undertaken independently by two researchers. Arksey’s framework was used to collate and map included studies. Results One hundred and twenty-five studies were included. The majority of articles were of descriptions of models (28%), mixed methods evaluations of models (18%) and single service evaluations (14%). The most frequently reported outcomes (52%) were ‘organisational or service level outcomes’ (eg, arrest rates). Most articles (53%) focused on adults with mental ill health, whereas others focused on adult offenders with mental ill health (17.4%). Thirteen models of interagency collaboration were described, each involving between 2 and 13 agencies. Frequently reported models were ‘prearrest diversion’ of people with mental ill health (34%), ‘coresponse’ involving joint response by police officers paired with mental health professionals (28.6%) and ‘jail diversion’ following arrest (23.8%). Conclusions We identified 13 different interagency collaboration models catering for a range of mental health-related interactions. All but one of these models involved the police and mental health services or professionals. Several models have sufficient literature to warrant full systematic reviews of their effectiveness, whereas others need robust evaluation, by randomised controlled trial where appropriate. Future evaluations should focus on health-related outcomes and the impact on key stakeholders.
Selectivity Engineering in Synthesis of 4-Benzyloxy Propiophenone Using Liquid–Liquid–Liquid Phase-Transfer Catalysis

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

4-Benzyloxy propiophenone is an important active pharmaceutical intermediate (API) used in the production of drugs such as Ifenprodil (N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist) and Buphenine (or nylidrin, a sympathomimetic and beta-adrenergic agonist). The synthesis of this molecule involves cumbersome and highly polluting routes. In the current work, synthesis of 4-benzyloxy propiophenone was achieved by reacting benzyl chloride with 4-hydroxy propiophenone and sodium hydroxide in liquid–liquid–liquid (L-L-L) phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) with tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as the catalyst. The novelty of the L-L-L PTC over L-L PTC is that the catalyst forms a separate phase and can be separated easily and reused several times. L-L-L PTC intensifies the rates of reaction and is 100% selective toward 4-benzyloxy propiophenone. Thus, the goal of green chemistry—waste minimization—was achieved. The effects of various parameters on the rate of reaction were studied. A mechanistic model was proposed to deduce the kinetics.
Six Challenges Facing User-oriented Industrial Design

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Much has been written about the need to address the requirements of the user when designing information appliances (mobile phones, MP3 players, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and so on), but less is written about the challenges designers face in bringing this about. Using case studies, this paper will examine six of the problems facing design teams in consultancies, Small- to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and multinationals tasked with the design of complex computer embedded products. A case study of the successful implementation of a technology-based product is presented. The factors that make it an example of good practice and the ways in which the designers have overcome the six challenges are examined. In conclusion, the challenges for the successful design and development of information appliances are summarized and ways in which they might be addressed discussed.
Rock topples in the highway cut west of Clairvaux Creek, Jasper, Alberta

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The topples exposed in the road cut along Highway 16, 17 km west of Jasper, Alberta, were caused by slope steepening by both glaciation and excavation. The toppling of layers that underdip the cut slope was initiated by water pressure, ice pressure, and loose materials in the cracks of rock masses with large block ratios. Toppling formed well-exposed sliding surfaces on steep slopes and rupture surfaces on shallower slopes. Key words : rock slopes, rock cuts, Rockies, toppling, sliding, underdip slopes.
Cardiorespiratory responses to hypoxia in intact and bilaterally vagotomized pigeons

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Bilateral, cervical vagotomy in birds denervates, among other receptors, the carotid bodies. To test whether such neural section removes sensitivity to hypoxia, we measured respiratory, cardiovascular, and blood gas responses to hypoxia at 84-, 70-, and 49-Torr inspiratory O2 partial pressure (PIO2) in five pigeons with intact vagi and in five bilaterally, cervically vagotomized pigeons. Normoxic respiratory frequency (fresp) and expiratory flow rate (VE) were decreased after vagotomy. Intact pigeons showed large increases in VE in response to hypoxia, effected mostly by increases in fresp. VE also increased greatly in response to hypoxia in vagotomized pigeons, but increases were largely the result of tidal volume. O2 consumption, CO2 production, and respiratory exchange ratio increased slightly in all pigeons during hypoxia. Normoxic heart rate was greater after vagotomy; cardiac output increased in all pigeons in response to hypoxia, but stroke volume increased only in intact pigeons. During normoxia, arterial and mixed venous O2 partial pressure, O2 concentration, and pH were lower and arterial and mixed venous CO2 partial pressure was higher, after vagotomy. In all pigeons during hypoxia, arterial and mixed venous O2 and CO2 partial pressure and O2 concentration decreased and arterial and mixed venous pH increased; changes were roughly parallel in intact and vagotomized pigeons. The arteriovenous O2 concentration differences during normoxia and hypoxia were similar in all pigeons. We conclude that bilateral, cervical vagotomy in the pigeon causes hypoventilation and tachycardia during normoxia, but strong respiratory and cardiovascular responses to hypoxia are still present.
Fertility Patterns of Child Migrants

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article examines the fertility of women who migrated as children to one of three OECD countries—Canada, the United Kingdom, and France—and how it differs from that of native-born women, by age at migration. By looking at child migrants whose fertility behavior is neither interrupted by the migration event nor confounded by selection, the authors obtain a unique perspective on the adaptation process as a mechanism that explains variation in observed foreign and native-born fertility differentials. The authors find patterns that are broadly consistent with the adaptation hypothesis—which posits that as migrants become accustomed to their host countries, their fertility norms begin to resemble those of the native population—and, on average, limited cross-national variation in fertility differentials. The effect of exposure to the host country, however, seems to vary by country of origin, a finding that underscores the importance of taking into account the heterogeneity of the foreign-born population.
Sustainable plastic waste management: Global practices and perspectives on the case of Kazakhstan

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Plastic waste presents itself as a menace that could require a multifaceted approach to eliminate. This article seeks to not only analyze but also expound on the current state of plastic waste residing in Kazakhstan. The first part deals with the issues posed by single-use plastics and evaluates their environmental effects while considering the patterns of overconsumption in Kazakhstan. The paper examines the history of single-use plastics, focusing on the import, export, and production aspects of Kazakhstan. The processes of sorting and recycling plastic waste are investigated, as well as the share of waste sent for reprocessing and the quality of sorting at different levels. It also discusses the current methods and technologies of recycling plastic, as well as the main problems for its effective application in Kazakhstan, among which are a lack of infrastructure, economic challenges, and low awareness of the population about the issue. The uniqueness of Kazakhstan is juxtaposed with that of other countries, and the necessity of creating long-term sustainable solutions to the issue is emphasized. The final section of the article is dedicated to presenting potential recommendations for improvement in waste management alongside conclusions based on the article's premise.
L’utilité de réconcilier les lycéens et la lecture dans le cadre scolaire

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This professional dissertation offers an observation and a study about the links that “seconde” students (first year secondary school students) have with reading. Nowadays in French classes, it is not uncommon to hear that they do not like to read, that they do not feel anything, and that they see reading as an obligation or even a punishment. Thus, the central question of this study is to question the role of French literature teachers in accompanying students towards and during their readings in order to reconcile them with the latter. In an attempt to answer this question, this dissertation begins with the theoretical contributions of Wolfgang Iser, Umberto Eco, Jean-Paul Sartre and Vicent Jouve with Michel Picard on the issues of reading and reception by questioning the place of the reader. Then, it will present an inventory of the disenchantment of classroom reading by exploring the recommendations of didacticians and teachers such as Antoine Compagnon, Anne Vibert or Bénédicte ShawkyMilcent. Finally, this paper will present examples of experiences carried out in two “seconde” classes to increase the students’ appropriation of their reading. Let us try to improve the image of reading so that we can move from punishment-reading to pleasure-reading.
Post-Operative Follow-up of Colorectal Cancer: Computed Tomography or F-18 Positron Emission Computed Tomography? That is the Question

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Backgroud: In Egypt, the Colorectal cancer is considered the 7th commonest cancer, local recurrence, distant metastasis or both occurs in 30-50% of patients after operations.Both Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are well established in the diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer Recurrence (CRCR). Aim of Study:In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT in postoperative follow-up of CRC patients and the detection of local recurrence and distant metastasis as compared with CT.Patients and Methods: 62 post-operative patients with colorectal carcinoma underwent whole body FDG PET/CT.The final histopathological and formal clinical follow-up findings were used as gold standard to determine the sensitivity and specificity of FDG PET/CT and enhanced CT of the same periods.Results: The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of PET/CT in diagnosis of local recurrence was 92%, 91.89% and 94.44% respectively.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of contract enhanced CT in diagnosis of local recurrence was 72%, 89.19% and 82.5% respectively.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of PET/CT in diagnosis of distant metastasis was 91.12%, 81.08% and 88.64% respectively.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of contrast enhansed CT in diagnosis of local recurrence was 72.55%, 86.49% and 78.41% respectively. Conclusion:In patients with suspected CRCR, FDG-PET/CT appears to be a significantly more accurate method than CT alone for detection of local recurrence and distant metastasis, FDG-PET/CT is sufficiently accurate to become a routine follow-up of patients after colorectal resection.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Objective To study the effects of protein kinase C(PKC) in the course of the K562/A02 cells'multidrug resistance formation and the effects in it's reverse. Methods Radio-immunity method was used to detect the PKC activity of K562 cells and K562/A02 cells without any stimulation and their PKC activity after cultured with daunomycin, tetrandrine(Tet) and droloxifene(Drol) alone or allied. Results The PKC activity of K562/A02 cells is higher than that of K562 cells significantly. Tetrandrine and Droloxifene in their effective regulating concentration alone can decrease the PKC activity of K562/A02 cells and K562 cells.They have synergism when use together. 1 μg/mL DNR can decrease the PKC activity of K562 cells notablely and decrease the PKC activity of K562/A02 cells partly tetrandrine and droloxifene in their efficient regulating concentration alone or allied all can strenthen this effect of DNR. Conclusions PKC take part in the MDR formation of K562/A02 cells. Tet and Drol reverse the MDR of K562/A02 cells maybe have relation to decrease its PKC activity.
Threshold Singularities in Appearance-Potential Spectroscopy

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The model Hamiltonian used by Nozieres and De Dominicis in calculating the threshold behavior of x-ray emission and absorption in metals is applied to the situation where a core excitation is created by a fast electron. Explicit expressions are given for the exponent governing the threshold behavior. For transitions involving $s$-state core levels it is possible for stronger threshold divergences to occur than for the x-ray problem.
