Nonsingular Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Neural Network Decentralized Control of a Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

A nonsingular terminal sliding mode decentralized controller that can ensure the tracking errors of the trajectories and attitude rapid convergence in finite time is proposed for an insufficient driven and strongly coupled nonlinear four-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The total lift of the UAV system is decomposed into three virtual drive separation forces corresponding to the three positions. The insufficient drive UAV system is transformed into a virtual full-drive model for research. The three position states and the three attitude states of UAV are placed correspondingly to the six subsystems by variable substitution. The model uncertainty and unknown disturbance term for each subsystem serves as total coupling terms among the subsystems. The upper bounds of the total coupling terms are considered as unknown ordinary higher order polynomials varying with the six states of the system under the action of time change. With the help of Cauchy inequality, the estimates of the upper bounds are obtained from the approximation performance of the RBF neural network. Finally, the decentralized controller is designed for each attitude subsystem and the virtual decentralized controller for each position subsystem. It is also mapped to the tracking total lift controller by using the virtual decentralized position controller. The controller design process uses the nonsingular terminal sliding mode control technology to ensure that the quadrotor attitude and position variables can quickly converge to the desired value in a short time. Simulation experiments verify that the proposed control method is effective and feasible.

Intention of Independent Travelers to Consume Street Foods in The Framework of Extended TPB: The Moderating Role of Hedonism

This study examines the intention of consuming street food during independent travelers' trips based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, which is expanded with the variables of past experience and hedonism. The relationships between the variables of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and past experience, and behavioral intention variables were examined. Moreover, moderator role of hedonism variable in the relationship between attitude and behavioral intention was tested. The study was conducted in Istanbul, and 523 of 541 questionnaires were analyzed. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the five hypotheses proposed in research model. Results showed that attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and experience, respectively, were important factors affecting the intention of independent travelers to consume street food. However, results also indicated that hedonism does not have a moderating effect between attitude and behavioral intention. It was shown in this study that the expanded Theory of Planned Behavior can be used to explain street food consumption intention. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications of the current study were presented.

On-Manifold Model Predictive Control for Trajectory Tracking on Robotic Systems

Model predictive control (MPC) has the ability to incorporate state and input constraints and extendability to systems with multiple inputs and outputs, making it a popular technique for robot control and other real-world applications. However, robotic systems usually evolve on manifolds, which are often over-parameterized or minimally parameterized (but with singularity) in a MPC. How to naturally incorporate the system manifold constraints without over-parameterization or singularity is a fundamental problem when deploying MPC on robotic systems. In this paper, we propose a unified on-manifold MPC framework to address the mentioned issue. This framework first formulates the MPC based on a canonical representation of on-manifold systems. Then, the on-manifold MPC formulation is solved by linearizing the system at each point along the trajectory under tracking. There are two main advantages of the proposed scheme. The first is that the linearized system leads to an equivalent error system represented by a set of minimal parameters without any singularities. Secondly, the process of system modeling, error-system derivation, linearization and control has the manifold constraints completely decoupled from the system descriptions, enabling to develop a symbolic MPC framework that naturally encapsulates the manifold constraints. In this symbolic framework, one need only to supply system-specific descriptions without dealing with the manifold constraints. To validate the generality of the proposed framework, we implement it on two different robotic platforms, a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) evolving on a Lie group, and an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) moving on a curved surface with non-Lie group structure. To validate the non-singularity and tracking performance of the framework, we test it in tracking aggressive UAV trajectories. Experimental results show that with a single, global on-manifold MPC controller, the quadrotor tracks highly aggressive trajectories with large actuator efforts and attitude variation (360 degrees) in both roll and pitch directions, without controller switching.

Proposition of a theoretical model for leisure practices based on constraints and attitudes

ABSTRACT This study proposes a theoretical model for leisure practices based on constraints and attitudes towards leisure. The instruments applied were the Leisure Practices Scale, Leisure Attitude Scale, and Leisure Constraint Scale. The sample comprised 992 industrial workers in the Greater Florianopolis, Brazil. The proposed model consists of a quadrant based on a combination of constraint variables (low to high levels) and attitude variables (positive to negative). The best conditions for engaging in leisure practices were a combination of low constraints and positive attitudes (Q4). A second group, characterized by high constraints and positive attitudes (Q2), was considered to have favoruable conditions for participation in leisure activities. Subjects with low constraints and negative attitudes (Q3) were considered to be in a slightly unfavourable condition, whereas groups at risk of low involvement in leisure practices had high constraints and negative attitudes (Q1). The proposed model explained the greater or lesser involvement of individuals in leisure practices based on constraint and attitude variables. Repercussions of the relation between constraint and attitude variables on leisure participation are discussed herein.

Perceptions and attitudes of farmers and landowners on soil salinity management and use of elemental sulphur in Oman

AbstractSoil salinity threatens agricultural sustainability globally and is a significant challenge in Oman. Previous studies in Oman focused on examining the causality and spatiotemporal variation of groundwater and soil salinity, neglecting farmers' perceptions and attitudes towards salinity management. Therefore, this study evaluates (i) perceptions and attitudes of landowners and farmers towards soil salinity and its management, and (ii) determinants of willingness to use elemental sulphur to alleviate soil salinity in Oman. A questionnaire survey (122 responses) assessed perceptions, attitudes and knowledge using Likert scales and qualitative questions. Binary Logistic Regression analysed determinants of willingness to use elemental sulphur. Results reveal variations in perceptions, attitudes, knowledge and management practices. Most of the respondents were aware of adequate nutrient and water requirements for crops (p < .05). Respondents rely on social media (38.5%), fellow farmers (32.1%) and personal experiences (11.5%) for knowledge acquisition about soil salinity management. Half of the respondents did not monitor soil salinity, while the other half relied primarily on visual observation. A substantial number (62.6%) of the respondents did not implement any techniques to alleviate soil salinity, while among those who acted, a majority preferred cultivating date palms (55%) or fodders (29.4%). Awareness of the national salinity management strategy and commercial products is lacking. However, when introduced to elemental sulphur as a soil amendment for salinity, 74.8% of the respondents demonstrated a willingness to utilize it. Most (82.4%) preferred elemental sulphur products within the lowest price range. Being a full‐time farmer, owning a farm, awareness of the national strategy and low‐price preferences were positive determinants, while <1 year of farming experience was a negative determinant of willingness to use elemental sulphur. These findings inform future research on socio‐economic perceptions of salinity in Oman, the Gulf region and similar arid areas facing food production limitations.

A Study to Assess the Attitude and Acceptance toward COVID-19 Vaccine among General Public

Background and Aim: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While most people experience mild-to-moderate respiratory illness and recover without special treatment, some, especially older people and those with underlying medical conditions, may become seriously ill. To prevent transmission, it is important to be informed about the disease and how it spreads. This includes staying at least 1 m apart from others, wearing a properly fitted mask, washing your hands frequently, getting vaccinated, and following local guidance. The virus spreads through small liquid particles from an infected person’s mouth or nose when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing, or breathe. Practicing respiratory etiquette and self-isolating when feeling unwell are important measures to take. SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 are genetically similar viruses responsible for global epidemics of different scales. They diverged due to differences in transmission dynamics and clinical presentations. COVID-19 management has evolved with new knowledge, therapeutics, and vaccines. The impact on health care and public health systems has been profound, with lessons learned for future pandemics. A globally fair vaccine distribution system must prevail over vaccine nationalism for the world to return to its prepandemic status. Materials and Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital among 272 participants who were selected conveniently. The attitude was assessed using self-structured five-point Likert scale, and acceptance was assessed using self-structured dichotomous questionnaire. Results: About 64.0% of the general public had good attitude, 31.3% of the general public had moderate attitude, and 4.8% of the general public had excellent attitude, none of them had poor attitude. The majority 95.6% of the general public expressed acceptance toward the COVID-19 vaccine and 4.4% of them not. Correlation of attitude and acceptance toward COVID-19 the r = 0.15 was significant at the level of P < 0.01. The association between attitude and demographic variables of the public revealed such as occupation, family monthly income, and any of the family members vaccinated had significant association at the level of P <0.01. Association between acceptance and demographic variables of the public revealed such as, age, vaccinated participants, and any of the family members vaccinated had significant association with acceptance at the level of P < 0.01. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the attitude and acceptance toward COVID-19 vaccine among general public. These findings can help to inform strategies for increasing vaccination rates and ultimately protecting public health.

Associations between cooking self-efficacy, attitude, and behaviors among people living alone: A cross-sectional survey analysis

Cooking-related literacy and attitudes may play important roles in preventing and reducing diet-related chronic diseases and nutrition disparities. People living alone are an under-researched but growing population who face above average food insecurity rates. This study's objectives were to 1) test how cooking self-efficacy and attitude are stratified demographically among a sample of people living alone, focusing on variations across gender, age, and food security, and 2) examine how cooking self-efficacy and attitude are associated with two indicators of cooking behavior – cooking frequency and convenience orientation. We draw from a cross-sectional survey analysis of 493 adults living alone in Illinois, USA with validated measures for cooking self-efficacy, attitude, frequency, convenience orientation, and demographic characteristics. Hierarchical linear regression models were used to examine demographic factors explaining variation in self-efficacy and attitude, with attention to interactions between gender, food insecurity, and age. Poisson and OLS linear regression models were used to examine associations between self-efficacy and attitude and cooking frequency and convenience orientation. We find cooking-related self-efficacy and attitude showed strong but distinct associations with cooking frequency and convenience orientation. Overall, food insecure groups had lower self-efficacy than those who were food secure; however, food insecure women had higher self-efficacy than men in similar positions, apart from older-adult women who held particularly low efficacy. Cooking attitudes varied in small ways, notably with food insecure younger and older women possessing more negative cooking attitudes than middle-aged women. This research highlights the importance of understanding the cooking-related orientations of single-living people, while demonstrating that this group's ability to prevent and manage food insecurity is not uniform. These results can inform targeted interventions around food and nutrition insecurity, cooking attitudes, and self-efficacy among single-living populations.

Anti-Vaccination Attitude and Vaccination Intentions Against Covid-19: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study Investigating the Role of Media Consumption.

The present study explores, retrospectively, the link between anti-vaccination attitude and vaccination intentions and extends this relationship to the effect of media consumption style on attitude. Generalized linear mixed-models were used to estimate vaccination intentions (related to each of the four available vaccines at the time of the survey) relying on anti-vaccination attitude measured using the Italian translation of the Vaccination Attitude Examination (VAX) scale. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate which media type and which consumption frequency were responsible for variation in the anti-vaccination attitude. Greater anti-vaccination attitude led to lower vaccination intention (b=-8.33, p<.0001) confirming the attitude-intention link. Crucially, consuming vaccination related information via printed press weekly (b=-0.74, p=.0001) or daily (b=-0.96, p<.0001) were the only protective factors against developing anti-vaccination attitudes. On the other hand, discussing vaccination with the family physician weekly (b=0.66, p=.002) or even daily (b=0.52, p=.026), and actively looking for vaccination related information on specialized websites and blogs every day (b=0.64, t=2.78, p=.006) were risk factors related to increased anti-vaccination attitude. No effects of social media on anti-vaccination attitude were found. The results confirm that vaccination intentions can be linked to the underlying anti-vaccination attitude. Moreover, our results suggest that the web and the blog sphere, but not social media, are the most anti-vaccination fuelling media and that health practitioners engage with the most vaccination-hesitant individuals. Further interventions could leverage these insights to tackle the vaccination hesitancy issue.

A numerical investigation on ship-ship overtaking interactions in confined waterways

The whole process of a KCS container ship overtaking a low-speed Neo-Panamax container ship is numerically simulated by solving the unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations. The dynamic overset mesh technique is adopted to simulate the relative motions between the two ships and the ship attitude variations. The free-surface elevations, ship attitudes, as well as hydrodynamic forces and moments on the two ships are predicted. In order to discuss the effects of different navigation parameters on the ship-ship interactions, a set of ship speeds, lateral distances and water depths are simulated. The results illustrate that the overtaken ship is more significantly impacted by the interaction than the overtaking ship, and the drawdown generated by the overtaking ship is the key factor during the overtaking process. The increase of ship speed, the decrease of lateral distance or water depth can lead to more intense drawdown, and hence even more significant ship-ship interaction effects.

Perilaku Nasabah terhadap Adanya Layanan Anjungan Tunai Mandiri (ATM) di LPD Desa Adat Beraban, Kecamatan Kediri, Kabupaten Tabanan

Customer Behavior Against the Presence of Automated Teller Machines (ATM) at Local Credit Institution (LPD) of Beraban Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency&#x0D; Local Credit Institutions (LPD) are non-bank financial institutions organized by local governments and are autonomous and oriented towards strengthening the economic and socio-cultural life of indigenous peoples in Bali. Increasing profits and progress made in LPD make it always carry out the latest innovations in products to be marketed. Technological developments are becoming very global with regard to the efficiency and ability of banks to earn non-interest income in the future. One of the information technology innovations that play a very important role in the banking world is ATM services. With the ATM service in the LPD, it will certainly make it easier for people to make transactions. The existence of this ATM service, of course, has to look at how the community will behave towards the latest innovations from the LPD. Behaviors are specific actions directed at some target object. While the desire to behave is a proposition that connects itself with future actions. This study aims to analyze customer behavior towards the existence of ATM services in terms of three indicators, namely the level of customer knowledge, customer attitudes, and customer actions. The data used in this study are primary data and secondary data. Primary data collection was obtained directly by researchers through observation, interviews and filling out questionnaires submitted to customers at the Beraban Village LPD as many as 100 respondents with a stratified random sampling technique, namely respondents were grouped into three groups based on customer balances. The overall analysis carried out is for the variable knowledge either or know about ATM. For the variable of customer attitudes towards ATM. are in the good category, meaning that customers have a very good attitude towards the existence of ATM. In the action variable, the customer already has a very good action on the existence of an ATM. From the results of a thorough analysis obtained, it is stated that customer behavior regarding the emergence of new innovations created by LPD to assist customer transactions in the form of ATM is good, where customers use and receive many benefits from the available ATM.
