Behavioral Processes and Their Functional Realization in English and Vietnamese

This article discusses the four different experience realms of Behavioral Processes and the configuration patterns of English and Vietnamese Behavioral clauses on the account of lexicogrammatical structures and ideational meanings. Then the study presents the similarities and differences in experience realms of Behavioral Processes and the configuration patterns of Behavioral clauses between the two languages. Qualitative and contrastive methods were adopted in this study to analyze 657 English and 602 Vietnamese Behavioral clauses from fourteen English and twenty three Vietnamese short stories and novels in order to demonstrate the features of behavioral realms and their functional realization. Attention has been paid to interpreting a wide range of lexicogrammatical choices as well as various strands of functions realizing behavioral realms. The study reveals four realms of behavior namely Semiotic, Social, Biological and Physical. It also presents seven associated configuration patterns in English and Vietnamese. The study reveals that the distinctive nature of the two languages (English-as a synthetic language and Vietnamese-as an analytic language) brings about some differences in the realization of English and Vietnamese Behavioral clauses.

Structural Design and Preliminary Tests of a Novel Patient Transfer Apparatus for Medical Scenarios

Patient transfer has always been a difficult problem, usually requiring multiple caregivers to work together, which is time consuming and can easily cause secondary injuries to the patient. In addition, with the crisis of COVID-19, the issue of patient transfer is even more critical, as caregivers are at a high risk of infection, causing significant damage to healthcare resources. In this paper, a patient transfer assist system named E-pat-plus (Easy Patient Transfer plus) has been proposed; it can assist caregivers in transferring patients, reduce direct contact between them, and avoid secondary injuries. In the mechanical structure of this apparatus, a novel five-gear assembly module and a synchronous belt pulley set are proposed; they are the key points to the basic functional realization of the device and can reduce the cost of the prototype. Furthermore, a fuzzy (proportion-integration-differentiation) PID-based cross-coupling control strategy is applied to the apparatus to ensure the stability and safety of the operation. Finally, some preliminary experiments, including current experiments and error experiments, are carried out to verify the reliability of the device and lay the foundation for clinical tests.

Geographic modeling and simulation systems for geographic research in the new era: Some thoughts on their development and construction

Regionality, comprehensiveness, and complexity are regarded as the basic characteristics of geography. The exploration of their core connotations is an essential way to achieve breakthroughs in geography in the new era. This paper focuses on the important method in geographic research: Geographic modeling and simulation. First, we clarify the research requirements of the said three characteristics of geography and its potential to address geo-problems in the new era. Then, the supporting capabilities of the existing geographic modeling and simulation systems for geographic research are summarized from three perspectives: Model resources, modeling processes, and operational architecture. Finally, we discern avenues for future research of geographic modeling and simulation systems for the study of regional, comprehensive and complex characteristics of geography. Based on these analyses, we propose implementation architecture of geographic modeling and simulation systems and discuss the module composition and functional realization, which could provide theoretical and technical support for geographic modeling and simulation systems to better serve the development of geography in the new era.

Design of a Blockchain-Based e-Portfolio Evaluation System to Assess the Education and Teaching Process

The e-Portfolio evaluation can truthfully assess the education and teaching process. This technique boasts several advantages: diverse evaluation sub-jects, emphasis on process evaluation, support to individualized develop-ment, and integration between teaching and evaluation. This paper applies blockchain to e-Portfolio evaluation, aiming to solve the thorny issues in tra-ditional e-Portfolio evaluation: privacy protection, data sharing, and infor-mation tracing. Firstly, the functional demand of blockchain-based e-Portfolio evaluation system was analyzed for multiple users: student, teacher, visitor, and administrator. Next, modular design was conducted for the sys-tem, the system boundaries and roles were defined, the relationship between roles was clarified, and a use case was provided to illustrate the client for each user. Based on the functional realization logic of the system, a se-quence diagram was plotted for the realization of system functional demand. Finally, seven chaincodes were designed to satisfy the requirements of the evaluation system. The advantages of the system performance were verified through experiments. The research results provide theoretical and practical bases for the application of blockchain in other evaluation tasks of education and teaching.

Ordinary objects

Wilson considers whether ordinary (inanimate) objects are either Weakly or Strongly emergent. First, she argues that ordinary objects are at least Weakly emergent: first, by lights of a degrees of freedom (DOF)-based account, reflecting that quantum DOF are eliminated from those of ordinary objects in the classical limit; second, by lights of a functional realization account, reflecting a conception of artifacts as associated with sortal properties and distinctive functional roles; third, by lights of a determinable-based account, reflecting that ordinary objects have metaphysically indeterminate boundaries, which are best treated by appeal to a determinable-based account of metaphysical indeterminacy. While the Strong emergence of ordinary objects remains an open empirical possibility, the best such case involves artifacts: artifacts might be Strongly emergent, if the states of consciousness that determine what powers are possessed by artifacts are Strongly emergent, as is explored in Chapter 7.

Design of English hierarchical online test system based on machine learning

Large amount of data are exchanged and the internet is turning into twenty-first century Silk Road for data. Machine learning (ML) is the new area for the applications. The artificial intelligence (AI) is the field providing machines with intelligence. In the last decades, more developments have been made in the field of ML and deep learning. The technology and other advanced algorithms are implemented into more computational constrained devices. The online English test system based on ML breaks the shackles of the traditional paper English test and improves the efficiency of the English test. At the same time, it also maintains the fairness of English test and improves the marking speed. In order to realize an online English test system based on ML and facilitate the assessment of students’ college English courses, this paper mainly adopts relevant research and design on the main functional modules, key technologies, and functional realization of the online English test. The brand-new powerful teaching software and the online examination system can help schools to conduct more systematic and scientific management. The conclusion shows that as brand-new and powerful teaching software, the online examination system can help schools to conduct more systematic and scientific management.

TQM on the Status of Sports in Sirsa and Bhiwani

Technology has a very sound impact on human being today. Our life is totally dependent and revolving around technology. We cannot think of our present life without technology and hence there is a substantial influence of modern technology on human lives. We are not using our muscles for every work as work is becoming more and more automatic due to technology. Our muscles on which once upon a time we used to depend oncompletely for existence, are now used for less and less with inexorable results. A number of research works has been done in various fields like medicine, psychology and physiology, to prove that moving the muscles for work have a number of benefits and due to technology we are making our body lazy and defective. However, very less have been made to the fact that exercise with associated development of fitness has far reaching effects on vigorous bodily processes and upon the functional realization of one’s progress and competencies. The present paper is designed to study the TQM on the status of sports in Sirsa and Bhiwani

Model-based cognitive neuroscience: Multifield mechanistic integration in practice

Autonomist accounts of cognitive science suggest that cognitive model building and theory construction (can or should) proceed independently of findings in neuroscience. Common functionalist justifications of autonomy rely on there being relatively few constraints between neural structure and cognitive function. In contrast, an integrative mechanistic perspective stresses the mutual constraining of structure and function. In this article, I show how Model-Based Cognitive Neuroscience (MBCN) epitomizes the integrative mechanistic perspective and concentrates the most revolutionary elements of the cognitive neuroscience revolution. I also show how the prominent subset account of functional realization supports the integrative mechanistic perspective I take on MBCN and use it to clarify the intralevel and interlevel components of integration.

A Study of Construing the Experience of Rage in English and Vietnamese Novels from Functional Grammar Perspective

Among basic human emotions, rage or anger is probably the most common experience of human life in the real world. The aims of this paper are twofold: to explore how rage as a part of daily human experience is construed in English and Vietnamese novels within the framework of functional grammar elaborated by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014) and to compare functional realization of rage in the two languages on lexico-grammar and ideational metafunction ground. In other words, based primarily on the collected data of 15 English and Vietnamese novels, this study focuses on analyzing how the lexico-grammatical resources constitute emotional experience of rage congruently and metaphorically in English and Vietnamese.
