Exergy-related process monitoring for hot strip mill process based on improved support tensor data description

Process monitoring is important for ensuring industrial production safety. If faults are detected in time, maintenance plan will be made to avoid economic losses. Traditional process monitoring methods pay more attention to the utilization of process data and ignore process mechanism. It is necessary to consider the energy flow and the spatial information of different production equipments. As the unity of quality and quantity of energy, exergy contains the performance change information of the process and can be used as another way of achieving the required dimensionality reduction. Moreover, the introduction of spatial information will lead to the increase of data dimension. Support vector data description (SVDD) are oriented to vector data and cannot deal with tensor data directly. To handle above issues, a novel exergy-related process monitoring method based on improved support tensor data description (ISTDD) is proposed in this paper. First, exergy efficiency are calculated and exergy-related process variables are obtained by the minimal redundancy maximal relevance (mRMR). Second, a third-order tensor is constructed with spatial information. Then, the exergy-related monitoring model and its robust version are developed. Finally, case study on a hot strip mill process (HSMP) is given to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE MANIFESTATION OF GENDER STEREOTYPES ON THE CAREER ASPIRATIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE

The purpose of the article is to investigate the manifestation of gender role stereotypes on career harassment of young people. The methodology of scientific research is based on the level of philosophy (systematicity, dialectical contradiction, unity of quality and quantity, dialectical negation, development, causality, etc.) and the level of general psychological (psychological theory of action, unity of psyche and activity, development; systematicity; concept of sub object of mental activity, etc.) principles with systematic, scientific and verification methods. This work is devoted to the study of the relationship between the value orientations of an individual and the level of his self-efficacy. The study of these problems allows us to assert the insufficient development of theoretical and empirical research on the psychological concept of self-efficacy, in particular, regarding persons who have already passed the period of professional formation and are actively engaged in their work activities; insufficiently disclosed features of the influence of factors on self-efficacy; there is a lack of scientific justifications that would reveal the age factors of this phenomenon. On the basis of the analysis of the theoretical material, a study of self-efficacy and the peculiarities of the impact on it of the meaning-life orientations of the individual was carried out. The theoretical justification of the problem of gender-role self-determination of older adolescents is given, in which preference is given to the concepts of the theory of cognitive development of the personality: the content of the “self-concept” is a categorical system of personal attitudes formed in the process of active assimilation and acceptance of gender-role norms cultivated by society. The system of attitudes can be considered as a form of organization of individual experience, which directs the consciousness, activity and self-determination of the subject in relation to the world. Social stereotypes and expectations, which in the process of socialization change from the external, “specified” plan by society to the internal, personally meaningful adoption of gender roles and their corresponding attitudes, are the means of realizing one’s own sexuality.

Didactics: Methodological Approaches to Determining the Content of Physical Education Teacher Training

The objective of the study was to develop methodological approaches to determining the content of physical education teacher training. Materials and methods. The study involved 62 students of the School of Physical Education, who studied according to the 2001-2005 curriculum. To solve the tasks set, the study used both philosophical and general scientific research methods, including: dialectical method (principle of historicism, principle of systematicity, principle of dialectical contradiction, principle of unity of quality and quantity, principle of dialectical negation, principle of development, principle of causality); systems approach; factor and discriminant analysis. Results. The results of performance analysis show an average level of proficiency in learning material. By the coefficient of variation, the grades in History of Modern World, Culturology, Gymnastics, TMPE, 3rd year vary considerably (>33%). The students’ performance in Therapeutic Physical Training, Fundamentals of Ecology, Thesis has an average level of variability. By most indicators, the students are assessed as a homogeneous group. The analysis of similarities (h2) showed that the most informative indicators of the quality of students’ training are the grades in the following subjects: Teaching Practice (middle school) (0.817); Biomechanics (0.772); Qualification Examination (0.764); Teaching Practice (senior school) (0.763). Conclusions. Factor and discriminant analysis provided objective information on the quality of physical education teacher training. The results of factor analysis do not confirm the objectivity of empirical identification of four groups of academic subjects of the curriculum. The factor structure of the curriculum indicates the need to change the content of education, aimed at improving the training of highly qualified teachers. The training of a physical education teacher should include the following blocks of subjects: professional theoretical and practical training, natural sciences, theory and methods of physical education of schoolchildren, special training in the chosen sport. The results of discriminant analysis show that physical education teacher training is aimed at developing knowledge, abilities and skills in the sections: 1) Means and Methods of Physical Education; 2) Theory and Methods of Motor Abilities Development; 3) Theory and Methods of Teaching Motor Actions.

Quality and Form in the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce

O principal objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma identidade possível entre os conceitos de forma e de qualidade na filosofia de Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914), por meio de seus argumentos em sua Semiótica e em sua Cosmologia. Em outras palavras, nosso objetivo é mostrar que a primeiridade consiste em uma forma, parte constitutiva da natureza da terceiridade, na medida em que a tendência à generalização ou à aquisição de hábitos estava prefigurada na origem do cosmos. De natureza indutiva, o passo do nada absoluto para uma unidade de qualidades prefigura um universo inteligível de natureza formal. Esta unidade já pode ser considerada uma restrição de uma potencialidade de força maior presente naquele nada germinal: a primeira categoria é configurada, então, como sendo de natureza potencial qualitativa. O adjetivo “qualitativa” apresenta uma espécie de restrição da potencialidade para a qual nos referimos: tal potencial é desta ou daquela espécie. A segunda categoria, por sua vez, surge de um caos de sentimentos: não é a interação entre tais sentimentos que traz a segunda categoria à realidade, mas a mera manifestação do sentimento que é, por sua vez, caracterizado como a aparência momentânea da qualidade. Esta aparência não é potencial, mas atual. Ela já é um fato; ela já é uma restrição da potencialidade qualitativa. Sentimento enquanto atualidade e qualidade em seu estado potencial prefiguram a origem do outro que se apresenta: este outro está, portanto, inscrito na natureza da qualidade e já apresenta a dualidade objeto (qualidade como potencialidade) e objeto representado (aparência despersonalizada de uma qualidade). Por fim, a tendência à generalização é reconhecida por meio das relações que as qualidades estabelecem entre si: na medida em que o aparecimento de uma ou mais qualidades se manteve insistente, tais qualidades começaram a estabelecer relações entre si, permitindo a formação indutiva de leis e objetos mais complexos, mas sempre devedores do material disponível prefigurado na origem: qualidades.

КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНА ОСНОВА СУЧАСНОГО ТУРИЗМУ

The purpose of the article is to attempt to discover the conceptual basis of modern tourism, in particular, to justify scientific approaches. The basis of the method of work was the use of conventional methods: theoretical analysis of scientific sources on the specified topic, synthesis, description and comparison. The results are the separation of the following scientific approaches: axiological, cultural, multicultural, holistic, structural, functional, informational, synergistic, predictive, unity of quality and quantity, co-evolutionary (development), causality. The scientific novelty of the study was the interpretation of general methodological approaches in the field of tourism studies, a clear definition of their characteristics, which will help to improve its methodological basis. The practical significance of the article is to justify the expediency of using scientific approaches, which will make it possible to combine the efforts of tourism professionals under the current conditions of fundamental incompleteness and uncertainty of information on the methodology of tourism; in developing approaches that are, to some extent, capable of ensuring the effective interaction and synthesis of different science methods on a single conceptual basis.

CHANGES IN THE CONTEMPORARY DIDACTICS IN LATVIA

The understanding of a human development and consequently of the educational process in the contemporary Latvia’s pedagogy has the following accents: student’s activity in learning/teaching process; activity as a base for the development; all-round and harmonious development; individuality as the unity of qualities of the activity subject (Žogla, 2001a). As the present-day situation has most seriously affected such elements of the pedagogical process as study aims, didactic principles, study forms, methods and content, these elements were taken as criteria for the analysis of the classification of didactic models. In the contemporary Latvia’s pedagogy, the priority is given to the approaches where the stress is laid on human behavior (behaviorism), democratic organization of education (pragmatism), development of human personality (humanism) and epistemology of education (constructivism). This paper is concerned with approaches, their analysis within the paradigm of a contemporary pedagogy, as well as with the analysis of the classification of didactic models developed by I. Žogla (Žogla, 2001b, 2001c) and I. Maslo (Maslo, 2001) based on the criteria determined by the authors of the paper. KEYWORDS: pedagogical paradigm, pedagogical approach, didactic model, criteria for the analysis of didactic models, contemporary school. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.15181/atee.v1i0.678

Competitiveness of products, equipment and technological processes in machine-building

Competitiveness of products, equipment and technological processes in machine-building In the times of crisis, the competitive edge of a desired production acquires a special value. The paper considers the structure of competitiveness as a unity of quality, expenditure, profit and prices. It describes a method of forming competitiveness exemplifying, at the same time, an erroneous interpretation of competitiveness and methods of its “rapid determination”. To analyze and synthesize an integral level of competitiveness, one may use the SADT-method of detailed step-by-step hierarchy of the objects under study.

Quantitative and Qualitative Research in Hypnosis: A Commentary on Woodard

In recent articles Woodard extended the Snygg and Combs theory of "Perceptually Oriented Hypnosis" to effect a rapprochement with a Phenomenology of Hypnosis. Both use the "Phenomenal Field" of consciousness, but they provide different interpretations and approaches to the essence of hypnosis. Snygg and Combs were heavily reliant on Gestalt psychology with a Cartesian dualism while Phenomenology maintains the unity of quality and quantity within consciousness. This commentary presents the philosophical basis for the two methods used to arrive at the essence of hypnosis in clinical practice.

Hegel's Theory of Measure

The final segment in Hegel's analysis of is measure - the unity of quality and quantity. At stake in these chapters is the difference between quantitative and qualitative change. A being or thing is indifferent to quantitative change, which comes from the outside. For instance, a legislature can increase the stringency of zoning regulations, and yet the legislation is still constitutional zoning. But there comes a point at which quantitative change effects a qualitative change - zoning becomes an uncompensated taking of property. This paper analyzes how Hegel, in the of Logic, derives measure from the categories of quality and quantity, and how essence - the beyond of being/appearance is in turn derived. The paper is the third installment on a complete analysis of Hegel's most important (and least read) work - the Science of Logic (1831).
