Flexibility is an essential quality for an athlete, which is why a high level of flexibility is required to increase efficiency and economy of movement, which interests all sports disciplines.The purpose of this scientific approach is to show that the development of static flexibility specific to foot techniques in karate, for practitioners between the ages of 14 and 18, is not done at random. The drive systems, applied within the programme proposed in this study for the development of flexibility, are subject to anatomically determined laws of motion, are functional and succeed in a methodical sequence.The experiment performed on karate practitioners - Shotokan emphasizes the importance of developing specific mobility which will allow them to execute foot techniques at a higher level and achieve outstanding performance.The application of the tests and the implementation of carefully selected drive systems that contribute to the development of mobility specific to karate techniques substantiates the working hypothesis and validates through its results the correctness of the experimental operation.

Abstract In modern low-voltage electrical installations, the predictive maintenance of the major electrical equipments involved in the power delivery process (transformers) or in the conversion of the electrical energy (especially electric motors) becomes mandatory. Thus, a high level of reliability and safety is assured for both the electric facility and operators. The proactive maintenance is to be non-invasively performed and mainly requires an infrared (IR) thermographic inspection and power quality analysis of the installation loads. A vibration investigation is also necessary for the motor drive systems. The paper critically studies the first two main maintenance procedures revealing their main characteristics, performances and limits. A case-study presents a 1000 kVA distribution transformer that supplies a bakery facility that comprised mainly heaters and inductions motors as loads.

Switched reluctance machines (SRMs) have received increasing attention for their many potential uses, such as for wind power and electric vehicle (EV) drive systems. The Quasi-Z-source Integrated Multiport Converter (QZIMPC) was recently introduced to improve the reliability of the SRM driver through small capacitance values. It is not possible, however, to simultaneously energize and deenergize two SRM phases in QZIMPC. This phenomenon can significantly increase the commutation period which, in turn, degrades the performance of SRM; in addition, this causes high-voltage ripples on the converter’s capacitors. Two switching algorithms are introduced and applied in this paper, and their performance with SRM is investigated in terms of torque ripple and peak phase current. The algorithms are based on prioritizing the control command in the on-going and off-going phases to fulfill the required load torque, as well as to accelerate the commutation process where possible. This is achieved without the interference of high-level controllers, which include speed controllers and/or torque ripple minimization. Through the simulation results, a comparison between the two switching algorithms is presented to determine their potential to improve the SRM drive system’s performance.

The article considers the problems of increasing competitive advantages of regional spatial sectoral structures. In the context of deepening and expanding market principles of management in the Russian economy, regions themselves can effectively use and increase their existing competitive potential. But even a significant competitive potential in itself cannot provide a high level of socioeconomic development of spatial sectoral structure of a region. In the process of using and increasing competitive advantages of a region, a number of problems inevitably arise that hinder or impede the growth of its competitive advantages. Based on this, a conceptual approach to the classification, grouping and localization of such problems in the main areas identified by the authors is proposed. To identify and specify the problems that impede the increase in competitive advantages of regional spatial sectoral structures, a logical block diagram is developed based on a systematic and integrated scientific approach, modeled from a sequentially executed technological chain of organizational and economic units. The basic organizational and economic blocks provide, on the basis of a rating estimate, a list of problems, including the most significant for their priority overcoming through the implementation mechanism of the “Strategic Program for Increasing Regional Competitive Advantages”. A methodological toolkit of procedures for organizational and economic blocks of a logical flowchart to identify problems that impede the growth of a region’s competitive advantages is presented. Competitive advantages and problems of their growth are considered on the Perm Territory example. This problem is complex, multidimensional and requires the search for new approaches to its solution, which opens up wide opportunities for new interdisciplinary research.

In the field of modern production systems, the process-parallel measurement of time-varying process forces and torques for high-level process monitoring is becoming increasingly important. Commonly utilized methods are based on additional sensors placed close to the working area. Unfortunately, this often leads to a higher complexity and additional costs due to the necessity of external hardware. An alternative approach is to evaluate the already available machine-internal signals of the subordinate drive systems. The process forces act on the load side of the machine axes in the form of disturbance forces and influence the drive-internal signals such as motor current or motor speed. To extract these disturbances, additional superimposed forces (e.g. friction and acceleration forces) and the influence of the feedback control as well as the mechanical system must be considered. Therefore, in the present paper, the application of various observer-based approaches for the estimation of load side disturbances on speed- controlled mechatronic drive systems will be examined. The investigations are performed on a simulation model of a speed-controlled machine axis. After an introduction, three different disturbance observers will be presented. Subsequently, the paper describes the structure of the simulation model including its parameterization based on test rig measurements. Afterwards, the performance of the disturbance observers will be investigated and compared taking selected influencing factors like changing controller and inertia parameters into account. The paper closes with a summary and an outlook.

ABSTRACTThe best possibility for gaining an understanding of the likely future behavior of a high level nuclear waste disposal system is use of the scientific method. However, the scientific approach has inherent limitations when it comes to making long-term predictions with confidence. This paper examines these limiting factors as well as the criteria for admissibility of scientific evidence in the legal arena, and concludes that the prospects are doubtful for successful licensing of a potential repository under the regulations that were binding until recently. Suggestions are made for remedying this situation.

This research is motivated by the desire to make a change to conventional and monotonous ways of learning by providing variations in science learning for students, where so far learning has been fixated on old media that are not relevant to the demands of innovation in education namely skill-based learning in the 21st century and the industrial revolution 4.0. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of video animation based on a scientific approach to the high-level thinking skills of students. The sample in this study were students majoring in Primary teacher education programs in science education, which were determined by cluster random sampling techniques. The study used an experimental methodology with a pretest-posttest control design. (3) T-test results from the results of the analysis of high-level thinking skills scores of students showed a significance value of 0.002 <0.05, proving that the final ability of the experimental class group was significantly higher than the control class. This indicates that the use of scientific animated video approaches influences students' high-level thinking skills.
