Evaluasi Mutasi Pegawai di Pemerintahan Kabupaten Banyuasin

Juanda Heri. This study aims to describe employee mutations in the Banyuasin Regency Government. This research was conducted for three months using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques are carried out by presenting data, reducing data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the Evaluation of Employee Movements in the Government of Banyuasin Regency. From the context aspect, employee transfers carried out by BKD often violate existing rules or SOPs, namely without paying attention to the agreed provisions such as having 2-5 years, must be in accordance with competence and good career development, the transfer process is often intervened due to political factors. From the input side, there are many things that, indeed, employee transfers are not done out of necessity, but because there are personal and political factors, employee transfers are often done because they don't want to work in that place, can be far from home and the like, staffing appointments as well and this becomes a problem. one of the main problems in the mutation process. For the aspect of transferring and transferring employees, it is often not carried out with appropriate steps and processes, this is because the transfer of employees is not due to the needs of the institution, but because of the dislike and personal interest of the employee. While the product aspect is expected to be better than employee transfer, namely to improve employee performance and work productivity in a new place, but this is often ignored because the purpose of performance transfer does not always consider the aspect of improvement, but from the aspect of interest. The supporting factor and being the biggest force in the employee transfer process is the policy that regulates this, namely BKN Regulation Number 5 of 2019 concerning Procedures for Implementing Transfers, by following these rules, of course the transfer process will not experience problems. While the inhibiting factor in the problem of employee transfer is again caused by the interests of the institution and increasing work productivity, but is caused by political factors, and in the future if it continues to be influenced by political interests, every time a regime change there will be a change of employees this will make it easier.

The Effect of Person-Organization Fit on Turnover Intentions of Employees in Steel Companies

Turnover intention can be effectively used to predict the actual turnover behavior of employees (Zhang, X. et al., 2020). Employers and policymakers can provide intervention if employees’ turnover intentions can be correctly predicted, thus prevent actual turnover behavior from occurring (Matilde, L. et al.,2022). One of the main reasons employees leave their jobs is the mismatch between the individual and the organization. Kristof defined person-organization fit as compatibility between an individual and an organization that includes congruence and complementarity, where congruence is a consistent match between the individual and the organization's characteristics, and complementarity includes demand-supply fit and demand-ability fit (Kristof-Brown, A. et al., 2023). Study shows that individual-organizational fit is negatively associated with employees' willingness to leave (Kakar et al.,2019; Bernardo, A. L. et al., 2023). However, further research is necessary to confirm whether the finding is valid for different companies and to what extent is the effect, if there is. A study on the steel industry, having a big labor force may be considered as focus of the study.

От информационной безопасности к национальной: противоборство IT-компаний США и КНР

The article examines certain aspects of the activities of large IT-companies that are closely related to the problem of information security, ensuring digital sovereignty as the basis of national security. Special attention is paid to the struggle of transnational IT-corporations of the USA and China for alternative markets, as well as a number of restrictions imposed on them by the laws of foreign countries. Based on a study of official documents of American and Chinese government agencies and IT-corporations, as well as media materials, the authors conclude that the geopolitical interests of the United States and China are in contact with the goals of big business and force governments to resort to various kinds of prohibitions and protectionist measures. IT-corporations in the USA and China, developers of messengers and social networks do not pay enough attention to the information security of their users.

Stock Valuation and Dividend Policy Decision of PT ELSA INDONESIA, TBK

Oil shortages began in 2015 due to underinvestment caused by ESG policy. Oil firms need the funds to finance their new refinery, rig, and exploration since most western countries are switching from oil to alternative energy. Geopolitical and economic instability, fear of a downturn, and rising inflation have harmed the worldwide Oil and Gas services market Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, oil prices rose to USD122/barrel for WTI and USD128/barrel for Brent. WTI fell to USD80/barrel and Brent to USD86/barrel by 2022, despite mid-year volatility. PT Elnusa Tbk is an integrated oil services company through its subsidiaries, offers services that include geophysical data, drilling, and oilfield services. The objective of this research is proposes to evaluate the financial performance, valuation and making a recommendation for ELSA regarding its cash. Two methods of valuation are utilized to estimate ELSA’s intrinsic value: absolute valuation and relative valuation. Discounted Cash Flow to the Firm (DCF) model is used for absolute valuation, meanwhile Price to Book Value (PBV) and Price to Earning Ratio (P/E Ratio) methods are used for relative valuation. Dividend policy and buyback share projection is conducted to find the best decision for ELSA. By referring to absolute valuation, ELSA’s intrinsic value is estimated at IDR639/share. By referring to relative valuation using PBV and P/E methods, ELSA’s intrinsic value is calculated at IDR 564/share . These numbers are significantly higher than ELSA’s current price at IDR 378/share, thus providing relatively high margin of safety.in the following stage ELSA will keep on paying dividends to the shareholders. With ELSA DPR 33,25% in 10 years ELSA will have 4,756,289 million in 10 years and the cash could be for management risk if a big crisis or force majeure.

Truss imperfections in the design of bar and diaphragm bracing systems

In the article three variants of roof bracing were considered: bar bracing, diaphragm bracing and the combination of bar and diaphragm bracing. Different analytical and numerical ways of taking into account the imperfections of the truss girder were compared. The entire 3D model of the roof (shell and beam elements with the eccentricities taken into account) was analysed numerically. Selected stressed-skin aspects were considered. Stabilizing forces in the purlins and forces in bracing elements (bar and/or diaphragm bracing, connections) were observed. The importance of the imperfection issues (e.g. shape of the imperfection, method of including imperfection, wind forces) was evaluated numerically to indicate the key points in the design procedure. The biggest forces in purlins occurred for “nonstandard” shape of the imperfection. On the other hand, in case of bracing elements, when wind forces were taken into consideration, “standard” approach of including the imperfection was safe approximation. Moreover, the diaphragm took over significant part of the bracing forces, however the distribution of the forces depended strongly on the flexibility of the bracing and purlin/truss connection.

ACCELERATION OF FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY GROWTH IN ISLAMIC BANKS AS AN EXISTENCE EFFORT TO FACE THE PANDEMIC OF COVID-19

Financial Technology or what is familiarly called fintech is a platform that combines technology and finance into a technology-based financial business that makes it easier for customers so that there is no need for face-to-face transactions. Financial technology is currently trending in Indonesia, especially after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred throughout 2020-2021, not only in banking but has begun to spread stand-alone financial technology in terms of payments and peer to peer landing. All technology-based financial institutions compete with each other, Islamic banking institutions in Indonesia, marked by the merger of three Islamic banks into one big force, namely Bank Syariah Indonesia which has optimized digital-based products to maximize the profitability of their companies. The purpose of this study is to find out the tips of Islamic Banking, especially Indonesian Islamic Banks in maximizing the profitability of their companies with fintech.

Crushing behaviours and energy absorption characteristics of square antiprisms structure against flatwise crushing

In this study, a type of thin-walled energy absorber named square antiprisms (SAP) is proposed, which can be used as a core of cladding “sandwich” panel design for improving crashworthiness. Three types of SAP structure, i.e. open SAP, half-enclosed SAP and all-enclosed SAP are studied. The purpose of this unique geometric structure is to increase the energy absorption capacity of the thin-walled structure while maintaining a uniform collapsing resistance under various crush loading rates as compared with other existing conventional thin-walled structures (i.e. cylindrical tube, square tube), and folded square dome shaped structure proposed recently [50]. A unit cell of standard Miura-origami folding core is numerically simulated and calibrated with the experimental results. Good agreement on the peak and average crushing force between numerical results and experimental data is achieved. The calibrated numerical model is then used to simulate the structural response of thin-walled energy-absorbing structures under various loading rates. The collapse modes and the energy absorption capacity including average and peak stress, energy absorption, crush force efficiency and densification strain are compared among these structures. The proposed open SAP structure shows good energy absorption characteristics under quasi-static loading and dynamic loading by yielding low initial peak stress, big crush force efficiency, large densification strain and more uniform collapsing. In addition, unlike the existing typical axial crashed thin-walled energy absorber, the SAP structure show shows insensitivity to the medium and low crushing speed (no more than 63 km/s) in terms of initial peak stress and uniformity ratio. Compared with the existing typical thin-walled structures, the proposed SAP structure demonstrates a superior performance to most of the axially loaded thin-walled components, indicating a potential application as an energy absorber.

CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR OF FAMILY AND LOVE IN CONTEMPORARY SHORT STORIES: LINGUISTIC AND TRANSLATION ASPECTS

The article considers the language means of verbalization of conceptual metaphors “Family” and “Love” in the contemporary short stories of the British and American writers. The investigation also involves determining the principles and the algorithm of rendering these conceptual metaphors in translation. Concepts are defined as mental structures used by a person in the process of thinking. Concepts in fiction are called artistic concepts. They are verbalized with the help of lexical and stylistic devices and are represented by conceptual metaphors. Conceptual analysis helps to characterize the key concept in the text of fiction, and, at the same time, such analysis can be a good criterion for assessing the quality of literary translation. In this paper, we suggest four stages of conceptual analysis in translation. The first stage includes defining the main concept in the text; the second involves formulating the conceptual metaphor (CM) in the text; determining the lexical and stylistic means of verbalization of the CM. The third stage consists in the text translation and editing, and the fourth-in the comparison of the source and target texts. At the first stage, it is also necessary to consider how the key text concept is represented in the folklore, proverbs, and aphorisms. Our investigation focuses on the concepts of “Family” and “Love”, therefore we chose several famous proverbs as the illustration of these concepts: As the twig is bent, so the tree is inclined; Men build houses, women build homes; A mother’s heart is always with her children. The major concept in the short story “Oliver’s Evolution” by John Updike is: “Family”, and the two microconcepts are “Father” and “Son”. The main character Oliver was growing as a weak boy, vulnerable to different injuries and misfortunes. But when he became an adult and had a family, he started feeling responsibility for his children and his wife, he became the support of his children. The main CM is verbalized by means of the extended metaphor and gradation and can be formulated as FATHER IS THE TREE FOR HIS CHIDREN. Another story “My Mother’s Many Scarves”, published in August 2022, is an example of flash fiction stories, two-three pages long, usually with a very important ending. The concept “Family” includes two microconcepts – “Mother” and “Daughter”. The author Andree Guedron describes the relations of love and understanding between the mother and the daughter. The narrator’s mother liked scarves, and her daughter inherited different things from her: brooches, jewelry. But most valuable was a bag of scarves which the mother bought in different countries. The concept is verbalized, first of all, by numerous repetitions of the noun scarf. The scarves become a metonymic detail, a symbol in the story. That is why the main conceptual metaphor of the text can be formulated as MOTHER’S SCARVES ARE SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE. The daughter realizes that she inherited from the mother not only material things, but also spiritual traits, behavior, emotions. At the same time, the concept “Love” is also realized in this story, as love of the daughter to her mother. Another short story where this concept is actualized is “Bigfoot Love” by E. Gary. It is a fantastic and allegoric story of love of a man and an ape, and the major CM can be formulated as LOVE IS A BIG FORCE. This conceptual metaphor is verbalized with the help of such stylistic devices as hyperbole and extended metaphor. In translation, two major strategies were used to retain the aesthetic and stylistic effect: retaining the conceptual model with the same language expression; retaining the conceptual models with somewhat different linguistic expression, with the use of such translation techniques as synonymic substitution and modulation.

College Students’ Conceptual Understanding of Force and Motion: Research Focus on Resource Theory

This is a descriptive study that aims to reveal students’ conceptual understanding of force and motion topics. In this study, we focus our review on resource theory. This research was conducted on 86 first-year physics undergraduate students. The research instrument consisted of ten reasoned multiple-choice questions that were feasible based on the criteria of validity, reliability, discriminant index, and difficulty index. The data are in the form of quantitative data and qualitative data. Quantitative were obtained from students’ conceptual understanding scores. Quantitative data were analyzed by determining descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were obtained from students’ reasons. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique. We use this data to analyze resources that were activated by students when they answered the questions. The results of the research analysis showed that the students’ conceptual understanding was in a low category. Some resources that were activated by students were (1) no acceleration at a constant speed (in uniform circular motion case), (2) at the lowest point the tension in the rope is maximum, (3) order to win, a bigger force is needed, and (4) friction is only affected by the characteristics of the plane surface.

The Sustainable Cities and Communities - The Future We All Aspire For

According to the World Bank, more than 50% of the population lives in the urban area globally. Cities contribute around 80% of Global GDP. Hence it is imperative to develop cities sustainably. As cities are home for productive activities and income generation, cities are also affected by spread of informal slum areas, traffic congestion, pollution, lack of housing facilities and many more socio-environmental issues. Cities worked as attraction centre for rural masses, hence the migration from rural to urban increases the burden on existing cities. Cities are becoming increasingly essential in the fight against climate change as their vulnerability to climate and disaster risk grows. Coastal areas are home to nearly half a billion people, making them more vulnerable to storm surges and sea level rise. There are 100 million people – or 20% of the population – and $4.7 trillion in assets at risk of coastal flooding in the 136 largest coastal cities. Around 90% of urban expansion in developing countries occurs near hazard-prone areas and is accomplished through unplanned and informal settlements. If we think about just recent conflicts between community and government in India on the issues like Arey Car shed, Taljai Metro project, these are the signs of lack of sustainable city planning and community contribution. Neither politicians nor administrators have clear approach about sustainability. What is sustainable? we need to understand that sustainable means “something we create which can sustain for long time”. It would not only support current generation but also future generation. If we are planning or building anything keeping this definition in mind, we naturally grow towards sustainable environment around us. What comes in mind when we say sustainable city? It’s simple, city with affordable housing, better and rapid transport, clean water supply, sanitation, clean and fresh air and many amenities. To make it happen, in democratic nation like India, each and every citizen should contribute and take a part in sustainable project. Approaching every aspect of life is the way for sustainability, it is a challenge for us to pursue development with environmental preservation. Government should implement sustainable city plan with considering its economic, social, environmental and political needs. Yes! political needs, because regional or local politics is biggest force when it comes to real estate in urban area. We can’t deny its presence in city’s growth. Instead of making idealistic plan, touch of practicality will help to build more inclusive plan with less conflicts in future. National- International institutions like UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) should have access to connect with local governments. Education institutions and especially young minds must be influenced with sustainable thoughts by studying strategy implementations of these stakeholders. In ancient literature we called this surrounding as ‘Prakriti’ which is more inclusive term than environment. we need to invoke that term again to realize that Prakriti reside inside of us, we are part of it. It is not something which we see outside, it is something which we are feeling and experiencing for every second. Hence to achieve sustainable city goal, it is time for us to enlighten ourselves with more inclusive approach and to get rid of utilitarian thinking system.

KEKUATAN DAN PELUANG REAKTUALISASI KODE ETIK GURU MENUJU MASYARAKAT ACEH YANG BERMARTABAT

The quality of education in Aceh has weakened in recent years. This can reduce the dignity of the Acehnese people compared to the former sultanate period. One way to restore this dignity and worth is to improve the quality of education; and one way to improve the quality of education is by re-actualizing the teacher's code of ethics in the learning process in schools and madrasas. The Islamic attitude of the Acehnese people, graduates of Dayah and UIN Ar-raniry is a big force in realizing the re-actualization of this teacher's code of ethics. The reformation era that has started since 1998, Law Number 44 of 1999 and Law Number 18 of 2001 which established Aceh as an Islamic law area. The Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2006 which stipulates Aceh as a special autonomous region and the formation of the Aceh Education Qanun Number 11 of 2014 concerning Education Providers is a great opportunity to implement this. The steps that need to be taken in this re-actualization are that the teacher must study, understand, appreciate and implement this entire code of ethics. Knowledge of the science of educational tools must also be mastered. In the end, rewards and punishments still need to be given to teachers and education staff who don't want to heed them. The obstacle that may be faced is that not all teachers understand and live up to this code of ethics. However, this can be overcome by conducting planned seminars, workshops and trainings.

Research of dampher system damage physical processes of synchronous machines rotor

The physical processes in the damper system of the rotor with the appearance of a static eccentricity of the rotor for two types of salient-pole synchronous machines - a capsule hydrogenator SGK 538/160-70M with a capacity of 22 MW and a synchronous generator with a capacity of 500 kW were investigated by means of mathematical modeling. A field mathematical model has been developed that takes into account the combined action of three physical fields of different nature: electromagnetic, temperature and field of thermomechanical stresses, and makes it possible to evaluate the heating and three-dimensional distribution of thermomechanical stresses in the structural elements of the rotor damper system of a salient-pole synchronous machine. These physical processes cause gradual destruction of the structure of the rotor damper system. It is proved that the primary cause of degradation and damage of the damping system of the rotor of an open-pole synchronous machine is the uneven distribution of induced currents in the rods at the poles of the rotor, which occurs when the machine works asynchronously or with the appearance of rotor static eccentricity. The largest induced currents and heat occur in the rods located at the edges of the pole pieces, while the central rods at the pole are heated significantly less. This asymmetric heating of the damping system of the rotor leads to significant thermomechanical stresses in the elements of the damping system of the rotor, which significantly depend on the magnitude of the eccentricity and slippery of the rotor in asynchronous mode. The magnitude of the total thermomechanical stresses in the rods is influenced not only by axially directed forces but also by transverse forces in the end short-circuiting elements. At considerable slippery and eccentricities there are inadmissibly big breaking forces which break cores and face short-circuiting elements of a damping system of a rotor. According to the results of the analysis, the heating and thermomechanical stresses of the structural elements were determined and recommendations for its structural improvement were given.

Evolution of Regional Export Growth in China: A Multidimensional Decomposition of Export Dynamics

Over the past few decades, China’s exports have grown at a phenomenal pace. Using a firm–product–destination-level database from 2000 to 2016, this article analyzes the microlevel mechanisms underlying changes in the growth of China’s local export from the perspective of export relationship dynamics. To identify the impact of each kind of export dynamics, we decompose export growth into three distinct aspects: entry, incumbent, and exit. We break down China’s export growth along various dimensions and find that entry of new export relationships is the biggest force driving rapid export growth, but the quality of these entry relationships is far lower than the market average. We further analyze industrial restructuring and spatial restructuring of entry relationships. By estimating the correlation coefficient between the quality of the export relationship and the entry relationship, we demonstrate the need to increase the quality of entry relationships. The findings suggest that the entry relationship is pivotal to understanding the changing export geography, and it is imperative to change from traditional competition on quantity to nonquantity competition on quality upgrading.

Big bang maps and color charge force

The Planck and other natural numbers are used for units of forces. They arise also as weights of Gleason operators, defined by 3-dimensional spin-like base triples GF and their weigths. The spin lengths are the spin GF weights for instance. The measuring GF operator triples arise by projective duality from 1-dimensional force vectors in projective to R5 extended Hilbert space H4. Color charges are set as a separate force, using a G-compass (figure 2). For the universes evolution after a big bang several maps are introduced, mostly belonging to the gravity field quantum rgb-graviton. It presents the neutral color charge of nucleons. Orthogonal projections of H4, also in spiralic and angular form, central or stereographic projective maps belong to them. They project also the S³ factor of the strong interation geometry S³xS5 down to the SU(2) geometry S³ of the Hopf map. Fiber bundle maps are added also to S5 with the same fiber S1 to the base space CP² for nucleons and atomic kernels. In octonian coordinates, listed by indices, 01234567, there are three projections from the energy space 123456 of SI to complex quaternionic 2x2-matrix presentations of spacetime 1234, of CP² as 3456 and of GR with mass and rgb-gravitons 1256. GR and CP² are projected into 1234 as the universes spacetime, observable as bubbles for atoms and matter 3456 and GR potentials and actions about and for mass carrying systems 1256.

Modeling of complex construction problems for randomly changing technological processes

SummaryModeling of complex construction problems for randomly changing technological processes occurs during the production of rubber compounds. Without a good knowledge of the technology of producing rubber compounds, durable and efficient mixers cannot be designed. The conducted industrial research has been shown that the process of mixing the raw materials varies in time and that the forces acting inside the mixer chamber are distributed randomly. During the mixing process of the chemical components, the position of the force changes inside the mixing chamber. The load on the mixer changes over time - as a result of mixing the raw materials and the pressure of the beater. After feeding the raw materials into the mixing chamber, a big concentrated force is reacted on the ram of the mixer, which over time is transformed into several concentrated forces acting simultaneously. Then, as a result of mixing raw materials, temperature and chemical reactions, a pressure acts on the walls of the chamber and the ram of mixer. The conducted research has proved that the most dangerous, from the point of view of the mechanical durability of the mixer, is the first stage of production, in which the beater is subjected to concentrated force. Then, the compactor deforms much more and it can scratch the surface leading to damage to the mixer. The conducted research allows for a much better understanding of the process and thus to carry out a variant simulation of deformations occurring during operation, and thus to improve the durability of the mixer mechanisms.

Global well‐posedness and asymptotics of full compressible non‐resistive magnetohydrodynamics system with large external potential forces

We consider the global well‐posedness and asymptotic behavior of compressible viscous, heat‐conductive, and non‐resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) fluid in a field of external forces over three‐dimensional periodic thin domain . The unique existence of the stationary solution is shown under the adhesion and the adiabatic boundary conditions. Then, we prove that a solution to the initial boundary value problem with the same boundary and periodic conditions uniquely exists globally in time and converges to the stationary solution as time tends to infinity. Moreover, if the external forces are small or disappeared in an appropriate Sobolev space, then δ can be a general constant. Our proof relies on the two‐tier energy method for the reformulated system in Lagrangian coordinates and the background magnetic field which is perpendicular to the flat layer. Compared to the work of Tan and Wang (2018, 10.1137/16M1088156), we not only overcome the difficulties caused by temperature but also consider the big external forces.

The four big forces conspiring to ruin one’s analytics

Despite major advances in tracking, attribution and data augmentation over the past decade, or perhaps because of them, several forces now threaten to degrade the ability of marketers to measure their campaigns and understand their audience. A growing privacy movement is resulting in government regulation and technical restrictions from ‘big tech’. Walled gardens are growing larger and more numerous, forcing marketers to rely on limited data without third-party verification. Consumers are becoming increasingly fragmented across a sea of connected devices, and the minimum viable product development philosophy is creating a legacy of ‘data debt’ for many companies. This paper explores these four threats and discusses strategies that marketing and analytics teams can use to attempt to counter them.

The Curved Cable-Stayed Bridge Directrices Design Method for Maximizing Structural Efficiency, and its Application to Footbridges

This paper describes the principles, analysis and capacities of the axial-deck method developed in research on the optimization of the curved bridges directrices takin place at the UPM university in Madrid. The axial-deck method focuses on the two main structural challenges of curved cable-stayed bridges: the horizontal component of the load introduced by the stay cables on the deck; and the big torsion forces in the deck due to the unbalanced cable-stayed system. Hitherto, these problems have been addressed, either by optimizing the position of the tower and its geometric characteristics, or by modifying the morphology of the stay-cable system. Very little has been written about the possibilities of linking the structural behaviour to the deck directrix. This paper starts by describing the ideal solution equations, without considering the structure as statically indeterminate. Then, based on these equations, it follows the evolution of the method to a nonlinear iterative system. This evolution allows designs to be developed that consider the flexibility relation of all the structural systems involved in the problems. Finally, the method is validated with the redesign of two existing curved pedestrian bridges from prestigious engineering firms and the paper concludes with a structural behaviour analysis of all designs.

Design, Sensing, and Control of a Novel UAV Platform for Aerial Drilling and Screwing

Hole drilling and bolt screwing are frequently performed tasks in construction, decoration, and maintenance. Traditionally, sending human workers to perform these tasks in hard-to-reach locations is both dangerous and costly. In this letter, we present an aerial manipulation platform that allows a human user to remotely conduct omnidirectional drilling and screwing. The design of the platform features a quadrotor UAV with each pair of rotors independently tilted by a servo, forming an “H” configuration, on which a 1-DOF manipulator carrying a motorized drill or screw driver is mounted. With such a design, the end-effector can face any direction on the longitudinal plane and exert a big enough contact force for drilling and screwing without the need of changing the vehicle body's orientation. Compared to previous UAVs that can only drill holes vertically into the ground, the proposed design also allows horizonal drilling/screwing into a wall or a cliff, making it suitable for a vast range of real applications. Based on the dynamic equations of the system, a dual-level control law is proposed. The low-level attitude controller uses an adaptive robust control (ARC) to accurately regulate the attitude angles in the presence of force/torque uncertainties that may occur during the drilling and screwing process, while a selective impedance controller is implemented at high level to indirectly control the contact force commanded by the user. In addition, a vision-based real-time target identification and tracking method integrating a YOLO v3 real-time object detector with feature tracking, and morphological operations is developed to identify and track the target point for drilling and screwing specified by the user. Various in-lab experiments on a self-made prototype demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach for aerial drilling and screwing.

Digital Transformation and New Methods of Sociological Research

Today, digital transformation assists us to search for information on the Internet, to digitize data, to store and broadcast it conveniently; however, digital transformation changes not only the quality of technologies, but also the social reality, the structure of society, the ways of social interactions, the social actor, and research methods. Four breakthrough technologies — cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of things — determine the direction of these changes. The question is how sociology may use these technologies for its own purposes. In this paper, the outdated approaches of authorities are considered in relation to the monitoring criteria they use to evaluate their activities. We emphasize the potential to obtain representative data by using traditional survey methods. Nevertheless, changes in the socio-psychological characteristics of respondents actualize the transition from mass surveys to big data analysis and force us to replace directly posed questions with the indirect confirmation of hypotheses. The new technologies open greater opportunities for building correlations, identifying hidden patterns, and making predictions than it was possible till now. Thus, we need scientifically based coherent patterns across individual factors in order not to see cause-and-effect relationships in random matches. Research community has to develop these patterns.
