A Full Assistance System (FAS) for the Safe Use of the Tractor’s Foldable Rollover Protective Structure (FROPS)

The use of agricultural tractors is a major concern in agriculture safety due to the high level of risk of loss of stability combined with the frequent absence of passive safety devices such as rollover protective structures (ROPSs). Indeed, although in most cases the ROPS is installed, when working in vineyards, orchards, or in other cases of limited crop height, the tractor is usually equipped with a foldable ROPS (FROPS), which is often misused because the effort needed for raising/lowering is excessive and the locking procedure is time-consuming. Thus, the goal of this research is to investigate the problem from the ergonomics point of view, developing a support system capable of facilitating FROPS operations. The research outcome consists of the development of a retrofitted full assistance system (FAS) for lowering/raising the FROPS by means of electric actuators. Additionally, an automatic locking device (ALD) was also developed to safely and automatically lock the FROPS. Both the FAS and ALD systems were implemented following a reverse-engineering approach, while their final validation was performed by means of a real prototype tested in a laboratory. The results achieved can contribute to expanding knowledge on human-centered research to improve safety in agriculture and thus social issues of sustainable agricultural systems.

Kontinuitet između Trećeg rajha i Bonske republike

Despite the political elite's best efforts to verbally separate themselves from it, continuity was built between the destroyed Third Reich and the newly formed West Germany in all areas. This continuity could be seen in the widespread denial of guilt, the elites' and Volk's resistance to denazification, the adoption of anti-Semitic stances as if nothing had happened, the release of war criminals, the request to the Allies for the return of national power as recompense for open anti-Sovietism, and the integration of the Nazi elite and civil servants into the new German state (80% of the senior posts were held by former Nazis), waves of amnesty for followers and perpetrators and the exaltation of criminals as "brave German nationalists". All of this was carried out with the full assistance of the West with the aim of de-actualizing the Nazi past of Germany and strengthening the national identity of the new military and political ally of West Germany.

Robotic Ultrasonography for Autonomous Non-Invasive Diagnosis—A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic review was conducted to synthesize and critically appraise the current evidence on the automation of non-invasive diagnostic ultrasonography using robots. Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, and PubMed databases were searched using a defined search strategy. Eighteen studies were included for consideration after reviewing 1,932 studies. Through appraisal, the selected studies were found to be of high quality. An automated ultrasound examination can be divided into two stages. The first stage involves localization of the region of interest and moving the probe close to that region, while the second stage involves manipulating the probe configuration around the region of interest to scan and acquire an optimized image. Although the second stage was fully automated in all the analyzed systems, the first initialization stage requires full or partial assistance from the sonographer in 11 of the systems. Future studies should propose novel methods to perform these procedures without the sonographer’s aid. Fourteen studies used a combination of visual and force feedback to control the scanning and optimization. The utilization of ultrasound image feedback for probe manipulation during this process has the potential to improve the accuracy and robustness of the system.

A nationwide survey of Schaaf-Yang syndrome in Japan.

Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS) is a congenital disorder characterized by developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder and congenital joint contractures. In this study, a nationwide epidemiological questionnaire-based survey of SYS in the Japanese population was conducted to establish patient numbers, clinical features and genetic information. In the primary survey, we investigated the number of SYS patients. In the secondary survey, we obtained and analyzed detailed clinical and genetic information of SYS patients. This survey collected information on 25 genetically-confirmed patients. The major clinical symptoms included neonatal hypotonia (96% of the patients), poor suck in infancy (82%), developmental delay (100%) and joint contractures (83%). Other main symptoms and findings included characteristic facial features (100%), small hands (92%), eye abnormalities (92%) and short stature (79%). Based on the information collected on activities of daily living, 71% of patients were unable to walk, while 67%, 71%, and 81% of patients required full assistance with eating, toileting and bathing, respectively. Regarding inheritability, the genetic analysis of 21 patients revealed that 14 (67%) carried de novo truncating variants in the melanoma antigen L2 (MAGEL2) gene and seven (33%) had inherited truncating variants from their fathers who were carriers. This survey revealed the clinical and genetic features in Japanese SYS patients. The majority of SYS patients required assistance in many aspects of daily living, and there were a certain number of carriers of the imprinting disorder.

Experience of local self-governments in providing medical services to the population in developing and developed countries

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the role of local government and self-government and their role in health care of population. The study was conducted in a pandemic and was conducted through a Google form. The study also asked whether the population applied to the city hall and the government for funding, what kind of assistance it needed and whether its problem was solved. We conducted a large-scale study in Georgia to assess the role of local self-government and governance, the role of local governance and self-government in the health care scheme of the population.Methods: We conducted a survey of 1,010 people across Georgia. There were both open and closed questions, with a minimum of 2 questions per question; an environmental survey was also conducted among the population. What did they want the funding to increase, what kind of service did they get and would they not improve anything?Results: These issues became more apparent when we conducted a survey of 1,010 people across Georgia, the purpose of the survey was to assess the population’s opinion, their attitude towards funding, as well as their opinion on the role of local government and self-government.Conclusions: Among the respondents, many residents received proper and full assistance completely, some at least partially, but no one was left unattended. Those of the respondents who needed help and did not apply for help from the city hall and the board, wondered what was the reason why they refrained.

Mizhnarodnyi dosvid zaluchennia instytutiv hromadianskoho suspilstva do protsesu zapobihannia koruptsii v Ukraini

The scientific research states that changes in Ukraine, both in the economy and in politics, actively affect the process of producing new relationships in the formation of modern relations of public administration with public institutions (associations). Further, the study highlights that the steady relationship between public authorities and society is evidence and guarantee of social and legal stability and state development because the current problems in Ukraine cannot be solved without the full assistance of society. Simultaneously, this spreads to the civil society institutions. The paper investigates the civil society institution’s functions in preventing corruption offenses in public authorities. The research offers proposals for solving a range of theoretical and practical assignments that are supposed to prevent the committing corruption offenses by civil servants. Moreover, the research emphasizes that the necessity for careful analysis of current problems of identification of public institutions through the prism of authorized bodies for corruption offenses prevention is motivated by several factors. Dominant is the low level of effectiveness of domestic measures to prevent corruption, as evidenced by the permanent increase in the number of corruption offenses and considerable anti-corruption potential of society, the full implementation of which is impossible without updating existing legislation. The article implements a comprehensive and systematic study of existing international experience in preventing corruption through the functioning of civil society institutions, outlines the main gaps in the modern legal dimension of these institutions’ functioning, and develops ways to overcome these problems by implementing foreign experience. The article highlights that the current state of scientific research, which is dedicated to the study of factors that prevent the effectiveness and success of the professional functioning of civil society institutions, is characterized by considerable invariance and sometimes contains contradictory doctrines. As a result, the study confirms that it is crucial to eliminate existing gaps in administrative and legal dimensions and identify methods and means of implementing functions to create a comprehensive and effective mechanism for implementing best international practices into professional activities of civil society institutions.

. Paringan Village is located in Jetis District, Mojokerto Regency. The distance from the village to the Mojokerto Regency government is about 15 Km. Based on the results of interviews from several mothers who worked during the Covid Pandemic, their children went to online schools that demanded full assistance from parents but were unable to assist. In addition to the Gadget problem that mothers complain about, there is the growth of cafe around the village that provides wifi access which is very easy to access by children with 2 thousand rupiahs of money. They can enjoy wifi for 2 hours. The activities to be achieved in this activity include reducing the impact of using gadgets, increasing children's interest in playing other than gadgets, increasing interest in reading, and increasing parental control for the use of gadgets in children. This educational game aims to train children's concentration to reduce the impact of gadgets, one of which is a decrease in learning concentration in children. From Community Education activities, both targeting parents and children, they tend to realize that gadgets are a double-edged knife that has a double effect, namely negative and positive.

The Influence of Daily Living Skill Profiles in Preschoolers With Autism Spectrum Disorder on Early Intervention Teachers’ Perceptions of Their Educational Placement

Research on early intervention (EI) teachers’ perceptions toward the educational placement of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been limited. This study examined the influence of daily living skills (DLS) profiles on EI teachers’ perception of educational placement in preschool students with ASD using vignettes featuring students with varying DLS profiles but with average academic abilities and motor skills. It also examined the influence of a child’s age on teachers’ perceptions and the teacher-related factors influencing these perceptions. Sample consisted of 118 participants (mean age = 31.9 years, SD = 8.48) randomly assigned to one of three conditions, where they were told that the students in the vignettes needed (1) full assistance, or (2) partial assistance, or (3) no assistance in DLS. They then rated whether the students would be suitable for entry into a mainstream primary school. Results indicated that teachers perceived children needing full or partial assistance in DLS to be less suitable for mainstream education. The child’s age also influenced the teachers’ perceptions. No association between teacher-related factors and teachers’ perception was found. Importance of DLS in EI was implied.

The Determinants Of Effective Zakat Distribution In Selangor Higher Education Institutions

Amid the pandemic that the world is facing, many families are facing a financial crisis. This time when zakat comes in to help those who are in need and low. Financial education aid is one of the common aids of zakat institutions to help needy and poor students from secondary up to tertiary. Therefore, this study aims to identify the determinants of effective zakat distribution in higher education institutions in Selangor. This research was carried out based on quantitative methodology using a survey questionnaire on a sample of 206 students currently studying in Selangor. The students are the recipients of full assistance from the zakat institution in Selangor. This study employs SPSS software Version 26 to test hypotheses. All the chosen independent variables are significantly correlated with the zakat distribution. Somehow, the findings of multiple regression showed that only good amil and recipient satisfaction significantly affect zakat distribution. The t-value of good amil is 4.731, and at the t-value of the recipient, satisfaction is 3.620. However, zakat knowledge does not influence the effective zakat distribution (p-value .054). This study highlighted the distribution of zakat in improving educational equity among poor and needy students.

Overcoming Systems Factors in Case Logging with Artificial Intelligence Tools

Case logs are foundational data in surgical education, yet cases are consistently under-reported. Logging behavior is driven by multiple human and systems factors, including time constraints, ease of case data retrieval, access to data-entry tools, and procedural code decision tools. We examined case logging trends at three mid-sized, general surgery training programs from September 2016-October 2020, January 2019-October 2020 and May 2019-October 2020, respectively. Across the programs we compared the number of cases logged per week when residents logged directly to ACGME versus via a resident education platform with machine learning-based case logging assistance tools. We examined case logging patterns across 4 consecutive phases: baseline default ACGME logging prior to platform access (P0 "Manual"), full platform logging assistance (P1 "Assisted"), partial platform assistance requiring manual data entry without data integrations (P2 "Notebook"), and resumed fully integrated platform with logging assistance (P3 "Resumed"). 31,385 cases were logged utilizing the platform since 2016 by 171 residents across the 3 programs.Intelligent case logging assistance significantly increased case logging rates, from 1.44 ± 1.48 cases by manual entry in P0 to 4.77 ± 2.45 cases per resident per week via the platform in P1 (p-value < 0.00001). Despite the burden of manual data entry when the platform's data connectivity was paused, the tool helped to increase overall case logging into ACGME to 2.85 ± 2.37 cases per week (p-value = 0.0002). Upon resuming the data connectivity, case logging levels rose to 4.54 ± 3.33 cases per week via the platform, equivalent to P1 levels (insignificant difference, p-value = 0.57). Mapping the influence of systems and human factors in high-quality case logs allows us to target interventions to continually improve the training of surgical residents. System level factors such as access to alternate automation-drive tools and operative schedule integrated platforms to assist in ACGME case log has a significant impact on the number of cases captured in logs.

High-Dorsiflexion Assistive System for Passive Swing Phase Dorsiflexion Training and Preventing Compensatory Movements

Over the last few years, numerous robotic ankle-foot orthoses have been developed to help stroke patients optimize gait rehabilitation. In this paper, we present a study on the effects of assistance on dorsiflexion-restricted gait. Our high-dorsiflexion assistive system aims to provide full assistance to realize passive training of dorsiflexion during the swing phase and prevent compensatory movements. This system, which includes a McKibben-type artificial muscle and an air source, is lightweight and provides a high-dorsiflexion torque. The device could help boost overground gait rehabilitation in stroke patients. With this system, we conducted an experiment on five healthy participants whose dorsiflexion movements were restricted, and the extent of their compensatory movements differed. The results of the processed surface electromyography data differed significantly when dorsiflexion movement was assisted by our system. The spatial parameters also showed significantly improved compensatory movement inclination with sufficient assistance. These results indicate the potential of our system to assist in passive training of ankle dorsiflexion movements and to prevent incorrect gait in patients with low dorsiflexion abilities.

Impacto dos cuidados parentais na saúde bucal de crianças com Deficiência Intelectual de zero a seis anos de idade

Abstract Introduction the birth of a child with an intellectual disability requires the definition of the parents' roles in relation to the care of the child. Objective evaluate how much parental care practices, sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics and family knowledge can have an impact on the oral health of children with intellectual disabilities in the age group from zero to six years of age. Material and method the level of help given to the child in the practice of oral hygiene was evaluated according to the adapted functional independence scale. The Parental Beliefs and Care Practices Scale assessed primary care and stimulation offered to the child. The presence of dental plaque and the decay-missing-filled teeth (DMFT) index were analyzed. The significance level was 5%. Result the relative percentage of dental plaque was 11.4%. The DMFT was 2. The prevalence of teeth with indicated extraction is higher in children who receive full assistance for cleaning, when compared to those who receive maximum, moderate help or supervision. Higher levels of dental plaque and decayed teeth were found in children whose parents rated their dental health as poor, hygiene as deficient, and when they believed their children might feel discomfort due to their oral health. Low stimulation frequency resulted in a higher plaque index and number of decayed teeth. Conclusion the frequency of parental care stimulation influenced the percentage of plaque index and the number of decayed teeth in children with intellectual disabilities.

Stroke Patients with Nearly Independent Transfer Ability are at High Risk of Falling

ObjectivesTo examine the relationship between patients’ transfer ability and fall risk in stroke patients during hospitalization. Materials and methodsWe retrospectively enrolled 237 stroke patients who were transferred to a convalescent rehabilitation ward from acute wards in the same hospital. Using incident reports, we investigated their fall rates and activity status at the falls according to their transfer abilities, which were assessed with Functional Independence Measure (FIM) transfer scores. The bi-weekly time trend of fall rates in all patients and in three subgroups based on FIM transfer scores of 1–3, 4–5, and 6–7, and activity status at the falls, were investigated. In addition, changes of patients’ transfer ability on admission, at the first fall, and at discharge were investigated among falling patients. ResultsThe fall rate was the greatest in patients with a FIM transfer score of 4 (14.3 times/1000 person-days). The majority of falls for patients with a FIM transfer score of 1 occurred at the activity status of “on the bed” and “sitting”, while three quarters of patients with a FIM score of 7 had falls during “standing” and “walking”. No longitudinal trend in fall rates was found overall; however, the fall rate trends differed depending on the FIM transfer score. The majority of the patients who fell required full assistance for transfers upon admission but required no assistance at discharge. ConclusionsFall risk differed among patients with various transfer abilities; the greatest risk was in those who needed minimal assistance for transfers.

The deeper architecture design is performed by using small kernels. Other performance measures used in this study are the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.

Development and evaluation of pneumatic actuators for pediatric upper extremity rehabilitation devices

Textile pneumatic actuators were developed to provide full assistance to lift the arm of a model of an 11-year-old male beyond 120 degrees of shoulder abduction. Two fabrics and a variety of sealing techniques, methods of attachment, and actuator shapes were comparatively evaluated using textile and functional tests. The results identified that both fabrics and one of the three sealing techniques were effective for creating air-tight, functional actuators. Actuators were more effective when the bands attaching them were closer to the axilla. Rectangular and wing-shaped actuators, both lifting the model of an 11-year-old male’s arm above 120 degrees of abduction, were more effective than Y-shaped actuators. Multiple designs and materials may be acceptable for building textile pneumatic actuators to lift the full weight of a child’s arm. Compared to traditional hard robots, soft assistive robots offer key potential benefits related to comfort, aesthetics, weight, bulk, and cost.
