Scutigera: Design, Modeling, and Experiments for an Artistic Multibody Airship Concept

Abstract The exploration of new lands has always been a source of motivation for mankind. Despite the common idea that our planet is fully known, a huge number of inaccessible places still remain unvisited today, especially below the surface. Recent advances in robotics allow some of these locations to be explored by unmanned vehicles. This paper presents the design of a three modules lighter-than-air vehicle specifically conceived to autonomously explore inaccessible caves and underground environments. The design is inspired from an arthropod, Scutigera coleoptrata, a long-legged centipede commonly found in our houses. Instead of crawling on walls like its biological counterpart, the robotic scutigera hovers and flies in cave tunnels. The aim is to develop a flexible semi-rigid, segmented airship that can withstand long, smooth explorations of caves while transmitting in real-time the images and sounds that it captures. This paper presents the equations of motion for a single module, and experimental results to identify the physical properties of the Scutigera modules. For simulation and control, we develop the model of the multibody system, based on the kinematics of the modules and the dynamics of the vehicle derived using Kane’s equations. Our approach can be extended for an n-bodies system. A three-segment motion is illustrated with simplified scenarios in the horizontal plane using head actuation only. Finally, a structural design of the modules is presented and supported with a proof-of-concept prototype.

ПРОБЛЕМА РОЗВИТКУ ОБ’ЄКТНИХ ВІДНОСИН В ІДЕЯХ ПСИХОАНАЛІТИКІВ «НЕЗАЛЕЖНОЇ» ГРУПИ

The article reveals the key ideas of psychoanalysts of the «independent» group of the British Psychoanalytic Association. To date, the framework of the modern anthropological system consists of psychoanalytic theories of personality development. In addition to the orthodox (classical) psychoanalysis of S. Freud, individual psychology of A. Adler and analytical psychology of Jung, an important place in the system of psychoanalytic directions is occupied by the theory of object relations - psychoanalytic current, which is based on the idea that as much the satisfaction of internal urges, as Freud argued, as the successful search and establishment of relationships with others. However, in addition to the work of M. Klein and the followers of her scientific and practical school, the creative work of other representatives of British psychoanalysis remains little studied for Ukrainian science. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of literary sources the main principles of psychoanalytic pedagogy within the theory of object relations are revealed. The main features of the theory of object relations, around which the representatives of the «independent» group gathered, have been identified. Emphasis is placed on the common and different views of British psychoanalysts on the formation of the child's personality, as well as criticism of the ideas of classical psychoanalysis. In particular, it is proved that the representatives of the «independent» group departed from the classical Freudian idea of the dominant influence of the Oedipus complex and the rigid «Super Ego» on the formation of personality. It is proved that the representatives of the «independent» group adhered to three common ideas: 1) each person from birth seeks to object relations, rather than to meet needs; 2) the interaction of the newborn with the outside world, especially in the dyad with the mother, has a decisive influence on the evolution of his inner world, which is considered through the prism of introjected inner objects; 3) a person's attitude to external objects is determined by imaginary internal object relations, which were formed in the child's psyche at an early age. It was concluded that the activities of analysts of the «independent» group focused on the problems of interpersonal communication, the child's interaction with parents at an early age, as well as the problems of identification and self-perception. Prospects for further research are planned in revealing the peculiarities of the work of Balint’s groups and the organization of scientific and practical measures for the prevention of pedagogical burnout.

Failure of the split property in gravity and the information paradox

In an ordinary quantum field theory, the ‘split property’ implies that the state of the system can be specified independently on a bounded subregion of a Cauchy slice and its complement. This property does not hold for theories of gravity, where observables near the boundary of the Cauchy slice uniquely fix the state on the entire slice. The original formulation of the information paradox explicitly assumed the split property and we follow this assumption to isolate the precise error in Hawking’s argument. A similar assumption also underpins the monogamy paradox of Mathur and AMPS. Finally, the same assumption is used to support the common idea that the entanglement entropy of the region outside a black hole should follow a Page curve. It is for this reason that computations of the Page curve have been performed only in nonstandard theories of gravity, which include a nongravitational bath and massive gravitons. The fine-grained entropy at does not obey a Page curve for an evaporating black hole in standard theories of gravity but we discuss possibilities for coarse graining that might lead to a Page curve in such cases.

Exploring rural doctors' early experiences of coping with the emerging COVID-19 pandemic.

PurposeTo understand how rural doctors (physicians) responded to the emerging COVID‐19 pandemic and their strategies for coping.MethodsEarly in the pandemic doctors (physicians) who practise rural and remote medicine were invited to participate through existing rural doctors’ networks. Thirteen semi‐structured interviews were conducted with rural doctors from 11 countries. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded using NVivo. A thematic analysis was used to identify common ideas and narratives.FindingsParticipants’ accounts described highly adaptable and resourceful responses to address the crisis. Rapid changes to organizational and clinical practices were implemented, at a time of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear, and with limited information and resources. Strong relationships and commitment to their colleagues and communities were integral to shaping and sustaining these doctors’ responses. We identified five common themes underpinning rural doctors’ shared experiences: (1) caring for patients in a context of uncertainty, fear, and anxiety; (2) practical solutions through improvising and being resourceful; (3) gaining community trust and cooperation; (4) adapting to unrelenting pressures; and (5) reaffirming commitments. These themes are discussed in relation to the Lazarus and Folkman stress and coping model.ConclusionsWith limited resources and support, these rural doctors’ practical responses to the COVID‐19 crisis underscore strong problem‐focused coping strategies and shared commitments to their communities, patients, and colleagues. They drew support from sharing experiences with peers (emotion‐focused coping) and finding positive meanings in their experiences (meaning‐based coping). The psychosocial impact on rural doctors working at the limits of their adaptive resources is an ongoing concern.

CREATIVE APPROACH TO SHAPING THE SYMBOLIC SYSTEM OF GLOBAL CULTURE

The key idea of the paper consists in suggestion that globalization focuses on the integration of different cultures under the umbrella of common ideas, norms and values. The globalization’s challenge is the necessity of searching the ways and methods of overcoming the intercultural barriers among different peoples. The purpose of the research is to analyze the issue of creating a symbolic system global culture, the access to cultural code of this system will help the participants of intercultural communication to minimize the barriers that prevent the mutual understanding. The author guesses that symbols can be seen as the creative technology for shaping universal layer of a global culture. To access this “layer” of a global culture, communication subjects must have a common cultural code. The creative information and communication technologies help subjects of intercultural communication to be able to reveal the cultural codes of other cultural systems. The author puts forward the idea of the need for shaping of the universal “cultural knowledge network” on creative digital platform. The knowledge of the symbol system of a global culture can help all peoples to open new perspective of transcultural communication in the context of creating common non-verbal language for mutual understanding.

Radioline Between Aircraft in The Atmosphere of Jupiter and Station on Earth


 
 
 With the development of space technologies and their reaching farther places in the Solar system, man’s desire to study in more detail the structures of the planets near Earth is increasing. This is where the idea of Flyer is born. Flyer is unmanned aerial vehicle for other planets atmosphere. He has the ability to collect much more data than a regular satellite, which is thousands of miles above the planet’s atmosphere. The most suitable planet for such a study is Jupiter, because of its location, the thin atmosphere and the lack of hard surface. An important part of designing such a mission is the way Flyer and Earth communicate. This article describes a common idea for a radioline between Flyer’s probes, Flyer, satellite around Jupiter and station on Earth.
 
 

COVID-19 Vaccination: Are the Vaccines as Safe as Clinical Trials Suggest?

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have developed COVID-19 vaccines, conducted successful clinical trials, and administered the vaccines to the public. However, as many opinions circulate throughout communities on whether getting vaccinated is safe, individuals must decide if getting vaccinated is truly better and safer than not getting vaccinated. The author provides statistics and current data on vaccination to prove that getting vaccinated is the best option amongst the two. In this article, the author lists common arguments against vaccination, acknowledges the validity and misinformation contained in these statements, and provides counterarguments for why vaccination remains the safest option to fight against COVID-19.Overall, the purpose of this article is to challenge common ideas fostering vaccine hesitancy by providing an opposing point of view supported with credible information.

Nonlinear Semigroups Built on Generating Families and their Lipschitz Sets

Under suitable conditions on a family (I(t))t≥ 0 of Lipschitz mappings on a complete metric space, we show that, up to a subsequence, the strong limit S(t):=lim _{nto infty }(I(t 2^{-n}))^{2^{n}} exists for all dyadic time points t, and extends to a strongly continuous semigroup (S(t))t≥ 0. The common idea in the present approach is to find conditions on the generating family (I(t))t≥ 0, which can be transferred to the semigroup. The construction relies on the Lipschitz set, which is invariant under iterations and allows to preserve Lipschitz continuity to the limit. Moreover, we provide a verifiable condition which ensures that the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup is given by lim _{hdownarrow 0}tfrac {I(h)x-x}{h}, whenever this limit exists. The results are illustrated with several examples of nonlinear semigroups such as robustifications and perturbations of linear semigroups.

A Survey on Gaps between Mean-Variance Approach and Exponential Growth Rate Approach for Portfolio Optimization

Portfolio optimization can be roughly categorized as the mean-variance approach and the exponential growth rate approach based on different theoretical foundations, trading logics, optimization objectives, and methodologies. The former and the latter are often used in long-term and short-term portfolio optimizations, respectively. Although the mean-variance approach could be applied to short-term portfolio optimization, the performance may not be satisfactory (same with the exponential growth rate approach to the long-term portfolio optimization). This survey mainly explores the gaps between these two approaches, and investigates what common ideas or mechanisms are beneficial. Besides, the evaluating framework of this field and some unsolved problems are also discussed.

Causal Effects between Criteria That Establish the End of Service Life of Buildings and Components

In the last decades, considerable work has been done regarding service life prediction of buildings and building components. Academics and members of the CIB W080 commission, as well as of ISO TC 59/SC14, have made several efforts in this area and created a general terminology for the concept of service life, which is extremely relevant for property management, life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costs (LCC) analyses. Various definitions can be found in the literature that share common ideas. In fact, there are different criteria that trigger the end of a building’s service life, but the trap that building practitioners too often fall into and that should be avoided is dividing a problem into separate boxes, labels, and specializations without the mutual cohesion and interaction, and ignoring human behavior. Some definitions of service life are discussed in this review paper, in which the cause-effect processes underlying aging and decay are described. These descriptions highlight the continuous interrelation between different criteria for the end of a building’s service life, considering too often neglected and misunderstood causes of the end of life.

Structural Design of Supreme Controller with Uncontrollable Transitions

In the framework of Petri net (PN), the structural supervisory control of discrete event system (DES) is an exciting method to design controller in the presence of uncontrollable transitions. Especially, this method addresses the controllability problem existing in the desired functioning PN. The controllability condition defined by uncontrollable synchronization can be expressed as constraints (GMEC). This leads to design place invariant-based controller, implemented through control places connected to plant transitions. The controller is maximally permissive if the transitions are controllable. Implying that the controller insures that the constraints are never violated directly or may be violated through the firing of uncontrollable transitions. But, if one control place is connected to uncontrollable transition, then the controller is non-admissible, since it cannot prevent such transition. The common idea is to transform the constraints or to displace the controller arcs. Unfortunately, the constraints transformation is computationally complex and not structural, while the arcs displacement approach is unsystematic. Our idea consists to iterate the structural supervisory control method to ensure a systematic displacement of controller arcs, so that no control place is input place of uncontrollable transition. This approach focuses on structural design of a less restrictive and admissible controller, namely the supreme controller

Taguchi Philosophy of Engineering Quality

Most technology development engineers use traditional reliability engineering methods to calibrate the objective functions of their new systems to meet various marketing requirements. Quality is related to products and services to customer satisfaction. Cost reduction and quality improvement is vital to business. Therefore it is no surprise that both consumers and management are so obsessed with the term quality that a separate branch of quality engineering has been developed. Quite a few glorified terminologies have cropped up such as total quality management (TQM), Quality Function Development (QFD), ISO9000, Continuous quality improvement or KAIZEN, and more popularly six sigma design. These are management-oriented and rather incomprehensible to an average engineer. In contrast, Taguchi methods are easier to comprehend and adopt. They are also based on some common sense ideas. The management's interest was evoked owing to the claimed economic consequences of Taguchi methods of reduced cost with improved quality and consequent consumer satisfaction.

Understanding the Challenges of Social Media ‎Users: Management Students' Perspectives in ‎Two Asian Countries

The primary objective of this study is to discover the challenges faced by social media users. To this end, the researchers first designed a scale and then asked 272 individuals from Indonesia and Oman to take it. Frequency, percentile distribution, and weighted mean were used to analyze the data qualitatively. The findings reveal that the respondents in two countries spent five hours on their social media, and with its use, they got more than one hundred online friends. Facebook and YouTube were found to be the most common social media platforms used by the two groups, and keeping in contact with their family and friends was the reason that was common to them. While Indonesian respondents highly rated the majority of the positive effects of social media use, the Omani respondents showed that the use of social media affected a lot on their sleeping patterns. In closing, the two groups of respondents had common ideas in some of the indicators utilized in this study.

Ethnopolitics: Practical Knowledge for the Real World

Knowledge about ethnicity served, and was often formed for the benefit of specific political interests, as part of political strategies, election programs and even wars. This, as the author notes, is their considerable value for study by modern political scientists. A review article is offered to the reader's attention, which is primarily based on the analysis of classical and modern scientific texts on the problems of ethnopolitics. The content analysis of individual political programs, resonant statements of opinion leaders, as well as academic studies helped to clarify the applied content of the issue. Turning to popular resources made it possible to draw some conclusions about common ideas and statements on the chosen topic, to open up additional educational opportunities in the relevant discipline. The problem is analyzed in three main directions: subjects/objects, values, tools. In the light of recent challenges, ethnopolitics is described in terms of its potential to solve real individual, group, national and international problems. Many of the analyzed articles by modern authors on ethnopolitics are hotly debated, leaving more open questions than answers, while their analysis enriches the vocabulary of a modern researcher of ethnopolitical problems, and also opens up new directions for applied political analysis. Selective and normative disciplines for future political scientists in today's higher education can draw valuable material from such professional publications for critical analysis, further research, and professional growth.

“The Right to Your City”: A Project of the Epistemological Urban Studies

Within the framework of a new interdisciplinary scientific scientific field – epistemological urbanism – the authors develop the idea of the human right to their city and show the epistemological nature of this right, which is explained by the fact that it is conditioned by the processes of cognition and scientific communication. Three main provisions are substantiated. Firstly, the city is an intelligent system. “The right to your city” is a specific right to scientific and intellectual production and consumption. Such a right is not realized in every locality designated as a city, but only where there are conditions for intellectual dynamics – where art, education and science are developing. Secondly, the intellectual system of the city has autonomy. Each city has its own intellectual resource. Realizing the right to their city, citizens are involved in the activity of the city's scientific and intellectual autonomy. In other words, a city where there are opportunities to realize the “right to the city” generates an autonomous scientific school or a set of scientific schools. Thirdly, cities (we are talking only about those cities where the right to their own city is realizable) how research centers form a scientific network. Not a scientific consortium with common ideas and goals, but a network based on the principles of proliferation. The authors insist on the decentralization of science not for the purpose of its enclavization, but for the purpose of developing the potential, multi-vector and intellectual self-realization of urban communities themselves. It is shown that the development of science as a whole (at the global or state levels) can be ensured by the heterogeneity of science itself (in this case, due to the development of urban universities): integration and differentiation give rise to an integration scientific and communicative process.

A Knowledge Graph Completion Method for Telecom Metadata Based on the Spherical Coordinate System

In the telecommunications field, the problem of data island is caused by the separation and isolation of data. They are distributed in different systems including the business support system (BSS), management support system (MSS), and operation support system (OSS). The common idea is to use global ID mapping to break data barriers. However, using the direct global ID mapping of raw data has the problems of large data scale and the inability to guarantee privacy and security. With this in mind, constructing and completing a metadata knowledge graph to fabric the data is a feasible approach. Considering the particularity of the telecom metadata knowledge graph and the need for hierarchical distinction in business and semantic abstraction, we propose a deep learning method and framework based on the spherical coordinate system. It can be extended to a poly-spherical coordinate system and add a pre-training process composed of word2vec and a clusterer. Experimental results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art on our dataset, MDCT and has excellent performance on two public datasets, FB15k-237 and WN18RR.

LITURGICAL INFLUENCES IN THE WESTERN PART PAINTINGS OF TBILISI CHURCHES IN 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES

At end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, several churches were painted in Tbilisi, but not many of them have survived and I would like to focus on the scenes in western part of the three churches. These are: The Choir of Mtatsminda Mama-daviti Church, the paintings of gate of Holy Trinity Church and the western arm of St Nicholas of Chugureti. In western parts of these churches, artists placed illustrations of Gospel parables, so these three churches have much in common, they are influenced by liturgy, depicting scenes: “Pharisee and Publican” and “Firstborn Son”. The following research is substantial, iconographic schemes in ecclesiastical art are not randomly selected, and beyond these images both art historian and contemporary artist must seek basis for what led to selection of given scenes, as well as how they are interwoven into common idea. The research problem in this paper is the influence of the liturgy on the paintings of the churches and the connection of these scenes with other scenes of this church as well as with other churches of the mentioned period, i.e. showing relationship. Literally speaking, the illustration of Gospel parables in the western part of the church seems to be conditioned by the instruction of one who enters it, but in addition to these two themes, doctrine also has a liturgical content, namely, before Lent begins, the church celebrates the Sunday of Pentecost; and their presentation serves and presents purification of man, his spiritual, inner eye. This problem has not been stated by anyone before, it should also be noted that as I mentioned, there is no uniform opinion among scholars about paintings of churches of this period and it is less studied, which once again emphasizes the problematics of issue to be studied. On the one hand, I use method of iconographic analysis as method of research, which as a whole implies both theological understanding of forms and the judgment of artistic performance analysis, as well as comparative method.

Model Collaborative Governance dalam Pengelolaan Sampah Plastik Laut Guna Mewujudkan Ketahanan Maritim di Indonesia

Plastic pollution waste has become one of the world crisis that moves transboundary. Once at sea, plastic waste breaks down into small particles, so-called, microplastics are spread the marine ecosystems. It threatens human health and has harmful economic consequences for the marine sector. Indonesia is the second-largest contributor to the abundance of plastic waste in the ocean which in the same time as an archipelago country which rich in marine products. Indonesia is taking proactive steps as the responsible act for overcoming challenge of marine plastic pollution. So, the maritime environment resilience can be realized through a collaborative governance approach. This study uses a qualitative approach by collecting data from interviews, webinars and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that a collaborative governance approach is crucial to address marine plastic pollution by involving collaborating action from multi-stakeholders, government and non-government actors. Plastic pollution waste could be accomplished by strengthening the role and responsibility of each actor. In the process of collaboration, there are some dialogues, trust between the collaborating actors, commitment to the process of collaboration, shared understanding towards the common idea or goals, and intermediate outcome of collaboration between stakeholders in marine plastic waste management.

Ukrainian chronicles, diaries-chronicles of the 17th–18th centuries about the economy and money circulation of the Cossack Hetmanate

In the article the authors consider Cossack chronicles and diaries of the 17th–18th centuries. from the point of view of covering the issue of economy and money circulation of the Cossack Hetmanate. The source value of each of them is not the same, but they are united by a common idea such as the formation and strengthening of the Cossack Hetmanate of Ukraine, the establishment of economic independence and the struggle of the Ukrainian Hetmans to preserve their autonomy in the conditions of the “Ruin” and the attack on the rights of the Hetmanateby the Russian tsars in XVIII century. It has been investigated that during the reign of the Polish king Sigismund III (1587–1632), the expansion of trade relations led to the spread of gold and coarse silver coins (ducats and thalers) in Ukrainian lands from the countries of Western Europe. Permanent wars waged in the 17th century between Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Turkey exhausted the Polish and Ukrainian economies, the prices of grain and other food products rose, and the value of the thaler and ducat gradually increased. Describing the period of the Russian orders spreading in the Hetmanate under Hetman Ivan Briukhovetskyi (1663–1668), HryhoriyHrabianka clarifies the newly introduced monetary and in-kind taxes introduced in the 60s of the 17th century. There are facts about the use of gold coins in the currency of the Hetmanship and their rate against the Russian ruble and Western European money in the Cossack annals. Another stable unit on the money market was the gold ducat, which was called “red gold” in Ukraine during the period. Chronicles of the beginning of the 18th century are increasingly called Russian small (denga and kopeck) and heavy silver coins and rubles which were introduced into monetary circulation by Peter I. But as M. Kotlyar testifies, were found and investigated 67 Ukrainian finds of this period which contained not only Russian coins but also Western European coins, mainly of the 17th century. Thus, we can make sure that S. Velychko exaggerated the rate of displacement of Western European coins by Russian from the Ukrainian market after the Battle of Poltava in 1709. The monetary figure of the Left Bank of the first third of the 18th century, as evidenced by the above-mentioned diaries, is rather complex: they counted both in the Lithuanian and Polish ways. Copies, gold coins, thalers and Russian kopecks and rubles were used as units of account. This reflected the state of the money market at the time, in which foreign coins and numerals were more common than Russian ones. In the written sources of Left Bank Ukraine, the largest number of references to the сzechs (one-and-a-half pennies) refers to the first quarter of the 18th century. This coincides with evidence of numismatic material regarding the greatest spread of сzechs in the circulation of the Left Bank of the mentioned period. However, in the next two or three decades сzechs remained one of the popular coins of the Ukrainian market.

ДОСВІД ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКИХ КРАЇН У ВПРОВАДЖЕННІЕКОЛОГІЧНИХ ІННОВАЦІЙ В ГОТЕЛЬНОМУ БІЗНЕСІ

The article is devoted to the study of the experience to develop the ecological hotel business in European countries on the possibilities of its use in Ukraine. The formation of ecological hotels concept is aimed at a quality system of comfortable living in harmony with the environment and allows to outline the features of the ecological hotel. These features include: a system for saving resources; use of alternative energy sources; minimization of chemical reagents used; application of bactericidal methods that decompose dirt and waste; reducing or preventing the use of allergens; high-quality utilization of waste and garbage; use of completely closed systems for water and air regeneration; catering with certified products and purified water. The interior design of ecological hotels, which is based on the use of "natural" colors and recycled materials, is no exception for eco-hotels. A unique approach is to adhere to the philosophy of abandonment of electronic devices. The availability of eco-labels in ecological hotels increases its attractiveness to potential customers, and the use of ecological certification includes the coverage area and objects of certification. The international program of voluntary environmental certification of hotel business enterprises "Green Key" and the activities of the association BIO HOTELS, whose experience is appropriate to use in the hotel and restaurant business of Ukraine, are analyzed. The advantages of the latter are determined: construction biology and use of natural building materials; regionality and seasonality of organic products; availability of certified organic and natural cosmetics and hygiene products only; complete waste recycling; exclusion of plastic use; environmental electricity; availability of electronic charging stations for electric vehicles. To support environmentally sound operation, the independent experts carry out the inspection and draw up a climate balance sheet, in which the company's own CO2 emissions are recorded. The association aims to define its climate-positive activities, combined with common goals and ideas. Promoting the idea of environmentally friendly organic origin and living in accordance with this goal distinguishes BIO HOTELS among other associations that exist in Europe. The environmental field covers all spheres of life and business in Europe, and trends in this development are rapidly supported by Ukrainian hospitality enterprises. The creation of hotel enterprises' associations and the possibility of creating such associations in Ukraine are considered. Keywords: ecological hotel business, ecological hotels, eco-labeling, ecological certification, climate balance, association of hotel enterprises.
