One degree-of-freedom (DOF) jumping leg has the advantages of simple control and high stiffness, and it has been widely used in bioinspired jumping robots. Compared with four-bar jumping leg, six-bar jumping leg mechanism can make the robot achieve more abundant motion rules. However, the differences among different configurations have not been analyzed, and the choice of configurations lacks basis. In this study, five Watt-type six-bar jumping leg mechanisms were selected as research objects according to the different selection of equivalent tibia, femur and trunk link, and a method for determining the dimension of the jumping leg was proposed based on the movement law of jumping leg of locust in take-off phase. On this basis, kinematics indices (sensitivity of take-off direction angle and trunk attitude angle), dynamics indices (velocity loss, acceleration fluctuation, and mean and variance of total inertial moment) and structure index (distribution of center of mass) were established, and the differences of different configurations were compared and analyzed in detail. Finally, according to the principal component analysis method, the optimal selection method for different configurations was proposed. This study provides a reference for the design of one DOF bioinspired mechanism.

Background:Depression as a common psychiatric disorder can occur in two types: Endogenous or genetic and exogenous or Reactional. These two types of depression, from the point of view of response speed to treatment and type of appropriate drug for treatment are different. This study has been executed to compare therapeutic effects of different classes of anti-depressant drugs in treatment of genetic and Reactional depression.Materials and methods:Present survey is a clinical-trial study, a completely randomly block type, that has performed on 30 patients (male and female). Selection of study sample accomplished randomly among unipolar depressed patients that has referred to Ardabil’s psychiatry clinic diagnosed based on DSM-IV criteria. Researcher - Made questionnaire, Beck, and Catelle depression test were used to collect data. To analyze data, for completely randomly blocked designs, two-factor variance analysis method and F test were used.Results:This study showed that Genetical depression does not response treatment Rapidly and its response type is not good and persistent. From the point of view of time, Reactional depression has a delaying response but its response type is good and persistent. In addition, no difference was observed in efficacy of different classes of drugs for treatment of these two types of depression. The results of this research showed that there is no difference between treatment response of two types of depression (Genetical and Reactional).Conclusions:There is no preference in efficacy of different classes of drugs in treatment of these two types of depression.



The selection of hospital sites is one of the most important choice a decision maker has to take so as to resist the pandemic. The decision may considerably affect the outbreak transmission in terms of efficiency , budget, etc. The main targeted objective of this study is to find the ideal location where to set up a hospital in the willaya of Oran Alg. For this reason, we have used a geographic information system coupled to the multi-criteria analysis method AHP in order to evaluate diverse criteria of physiological positioning , environmental and economical. Another objective of this study is to evaluate the advanced techniques of the automatic learning . the method of the random forest (RF) for the patterning of the hospital site selection in the willaya of Oran. The result of our study may be useful to decision makers to know the suitability of the sites as it provides a high level of confidence and consequently accelerate the power to control the COVID19 pandemic.

AbstractThe point sources in the Bright Source Catalogue (BSC) of the AKARI Far–Infrared Surveyor (FIS) were classified based on their far–IR and mid–IR fluxes and colours using Quadratic Discriminant Analysis method (QDA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The reliability of our results show that we can successfully separate galactic and extragalactic AKARI point sources in the multidimensional space of fluxes and colours. However, differentiating among the extragalactic sub–types needs further information.

The selection of the 2017 DKI Jakarta governor was attended by 3 candidates, including the pair Agus Harimurti - Sylviana Murni, the pair Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat and the couple Anies Baswedan - Sandiaga Uno. Basuki Tjahaj Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat is a pair of incumbent governors who again competed in this gubernatorial election. The researcher focused on research to find out how the strategy used by the incumbent governor pair in facing the 2017 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. In this case, the author uses the Constructivist paradigm, namely, the truth of a social reality seen as a result of social construction, and the truth of a social reality is relative. The type of research used is descriptive, which describes a social situation as it is by using a qualitative descriptive analysis method. Based on this research regarding the campaign strategy of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat in facing the gubernatorial election, the researchers concluded that the pair Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat possessed and re-demonstrated the real program that was directly felt by the community and also maximized the entire media to socialize their upcoming programs. Pemilihan gubernur DKI Jakarta 2017 diikuti oleh 3 pasangan calon antara lain pasangan Agus Harimurti – Sylviana Murni, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama – Djarot Saiful Hidayat dan Anies Baswedan – Sandiaga Uno. Pasangan Basuki Tjahaj Purnama – Djarot Saiful Hidayat adalah pasangan gubernur petahana yang kembali bersaing dalam pemilihan gubernur ini. Peneliti memfokuskan penelitian untuk mengetahui bagaimana strategi yang digunakan oleh pasangan gubernur petahana dalam menghadapi pemilihan gubernur DKI Jakarta 2017 ini. Dalam hal ini, penulis menggunakan paradigma Konstruktivis yaitu,  kebenaran suatu realitas sosial dilihat sebagai hasil konstruksi sosial, dan kebenaran suatu realitas sosial bersifat relatif.  Tipe penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu deskriptif, yang menggambarkan suatu keadaan sosial secara apa adanya dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Berdasarkan penelitian ini mengenai strategi kampanye Basuki Tjahaja Purnama – Djarot Saiful Hidayat dalam menghadapi pemilihan gubernur, maka peneliti membuat kesimpulan bahwa pasangan Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat memiliki dan menunjukkan kembali program nyata yang sudah dirasakan langsung oleh masyarakat dan juga pasangan ini memaksimalkan seluruh media untuk mensosialisasikan program mereka yang akan datang.

Dendang Melayu Beach is a public beach that is being developed by the Batam City Government. Although various efforts have been made by the government to increase the number of visitors to this beach, it turns out that the number of visitors has not necessarily increased consistently but fluctuated up and down. Therefore, this research was carried out to further explore the behavior of visitors in the hope that it could become a material evaluation of the government in developing this tourist attraction. This study aims to examine the effect of consumer behavior on the selection of Dendang Melayu Beach tourist attractions. The respondents of this study were 100 tourists who visited the Batam Dendang Beach. The data analysis method used is inductive statistics using multiple linear regression. The results of this study are the four variables of consumer behavior namely cultural, social, personal and psychological factors partially positive and significant effect on the choice of tourist attractions.

PurposePrefabricated housing has become a boom industry across the world; however, the uptake of offsite construction (OSC) approaches in Australian low-rise buildings is rather low compared with high-rise buildings in other countries. This study aims to investigate and analyse the adoption of different levels of OSC approaches and the selection of different procurement options in Australian low-rise residential buildings.Design/methodology/approachThe research objectives were pursued through a mixed research method. An empirical questionnaire survey was carried out with 35 professionals in the Australian building and construction industry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 interviewees and analysed using thematic analysis method in NVivo software.FindingsThe research results found that the most suitable OSC level for Australian low-rise buildings is components-based prefabrication and identified the barriers to OSC uptake for each OSC level. The study also showed that the best option of procuring prefabricated products is from Australian manufacturers, followed by Australian suppliers/dealers and overseas manufacturers. Panelised prefabrication and components-based prefabrication are ranked as the most suitable OSC approaches for Australian manufacturers. Modular prefabrication is regarded as the most suitable for overseas manufacturer, while components-based prefabrication is the most suitable for Australian suppliers/dealers.Originality/valueThe selection of various OSC approaches and different procurement options in the low-rise residential buildings are scarcely explored topic, and thus, this study provides knowledge of interest for both researchers and practitioners.
