Introduction. Russian universities attempting to introduce the content and language integrated learning model into the educational process at the levels of bachelor's degree and master's degree face risks and difficulties caused by the lack of a "balance" between substantive competencies and foreign language communicative competence of both the teacher and the students. The purpose of the article is to present the local experience of using the model of content and language integrated learning as a means of forming bilingual competence in the field of professional communication by the example of training masters based on the "Deutsch Lehren Lernen" ("Learning to teach German") program. Materials and methods. The study involved 87 first- and second-year students of the full-time master's program (direction of training "Pedagogical Education") at Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V.P. Astafiev during 2017–2020. The main research methods were forecasting, design, prolonged monitoring of the results of learning, a questionnaire survey, and McNemar's statistical test. Results. The experimental use of the model of forming content and language bilingual competence of master's degree students showed an increase in the coefficient of assimilation of the content of the educational material of the components of the integrated disciplines to the high one (0.95 > x > 0.80) and the sufficient one (0.80 > x > 0.65). There is a high level of forming the content and language bilingual competence in all types of speech activity: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. After completing the metasubject course, students can correctly and logically use subject knowledge in speech activity in German (p < 0.04), master the terminological minimum according to the methodology of teaching German (p < 0.01). Discussion. The assumption was confirmed about the possibility of forming bilingual competence of master's degree students subject to the design and implementation algorithm of the content and language integrated learning model, which includes: a) the development of criteria for selecting subjects for interdisciplinary integration; b) taking into account the balance of universal, professional, and linguistic competencies formed in the process of integration; c) focus on the practice-oriented nature of the research training of master's degree students. Conclusion. The results of the research can be used in metasubject design and practical implementation of the process of forming bilingual competence of a future specialist in the field of professional communication at the master's degree level.

SummaryHealth information exchange (HIE) facilitates the exchange of patient information across different healthcare organizations. To match patient records across sites, HIEs usually rely on a master patient index (MPI), a database responsible for determining which medical records at different healthcare facilities belong to the same patient. A single patient’s records may be improperly split across multiple profiles in the MPI.We investigated the how often two individuals shared the same first name, last name, and date of birth in the Social Security Death Master File (SSDMF), a US government database containing over 85 million individuals, to determine the feasibility of using exact matching as a split record detection tool. We demonstrated how a method based on exact record matching could be used to partially measure the degree of probable split patient records in the MPI of an HIE.We calculated the percentage of individuals who were uniquely identified in the SSDMF using first name, last name, and date of birth. We defined a measure consisting of the average number of unique identifiers associated with a given first name, last name, and date of birth. We calculated a reference value for this measure on a subsample of SSDMF data. We compared this measure value to data from a functioning HIE.We found that it was unlikely for two individuals to share the same first name, last name, and date of birth in a large US database including over 85 million individuals. 98.81% of individuals were uniquely identified in this dataset using only these three items. We compared the value of our measure on a subsample of Social Security data (1.00089) to that of HIE data (1.1238) and found a significant difference (t-test p-value < 0.001).This method may assist HIEs in detecting split patient records.

Purpose Mixed-target brands with strong gender identities, whether it be feminine or masculine, are not always successful at targeting both men and women, particularly in symbolic product categories. While attempting to maximize their sales for both targets, managers often struggle to capitalize on a single brand, and they hesitate between different naming strategies. This paper aims to build on brand gender literature and understand these brands’ (i.e. brands targeting both men and women) potential to adopt an endorsed brand strategy rather than a branded house strategy. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses a before/after experimental design to examine the effect that introducing a gender-incongruent endorsed brand (i.e. feminine endorsed brand name of masculine master brands and masculine endorsed brand name of feminine master brands) can have on consumers’ brand attitude. Findings First, adopting an endorsed brand strategy increases the perceived brand femininity of masculine master brands, but there is no increase in feminine master brands’ perceived brand masculinity. Second, this strategy has a negative impact on consumer attitude toward the master brand, with a stronger negative effect for feminine master brands than for masculine master brands, which is mediated by the brand gender perception change. Third, a negative feedback effect on the brand’s gender-congruent users is revealed. Research limitations/implications One limitation of this work is that the focus is on one sole extrinsic brand characteristic (i.e. brand name) in our experimental design, which artificially influences the relative brand name importance for consumers. Moreover, the studies offered a short text to introduce the renaming. This may have made the respondents focus on the brand more than they would have in real-world conditions. Practical implications This research provides many insights for masculine or feminine mixed-target brands managers in symbolic product categories, as it shows that changing from a branded house strategy to an endorsed brand strategy appears to be unsuccessful in the short run, regardless of master brand’s gender. Moreover, the study reveals negative feedback effects on the attitude toward the initial master brand, following its renaming, in the short run. Originality/value This research provides a warning to managers trying to gender-bend their existing brands because it can lead to brand dilution. It also emphasizes the asymmetrical evaluation of masculine vs feminine master brands, as manipulating a brand’s perceived masculinity appears very difficult to do successfully.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the reformulation of the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering (MIEM) at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) in two independent degrees (bachelor and master). The design of the new cycles of studies, triggered by decision of the Portuguese Government, followed the FEUP’s guidelines and led to a solution close to the one adopted by the existing integrated master. Therefore, the well-known “FEUP Mechanical Engineering product” is maintained, in general, since it is widely accepted in the job market, and improved by correcting some MIEM’s shortcomings. The bachelor is a non-professional degree of preparation to the master. It is clearly distinct from the cycles of studies thought at the polytechnic institutions, providing a broader scientific background, and not including design skills and dissertation. The master is a demanding degree, with innovative content and incorporating the value added by the excellence of the scientific research carried out at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is aligned with the needs of the industry, being different from other master degrees in the same area offered in Portugal, and designed to attract students from abroad. A SWOT analysis performed both for the bachelor and the master shows the potential of the two new cycles of studies.

Full textAbstract:
This work presents a novel 4-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) haptic master using magnetorheological (MR) fluid which is applicable to a robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) system. By using MR fluid, the proposed haptic device can easily generate bidirectional repulsive torque along the directions of the required motions. The proposed master consists of two actuators: an MR bidirectional clutch associated with a planetary gear system and an MR clutch with a bevel gear system. After demonstrating the configuration, the torque models of MR actuators are mathematically derived based on the field-dependent Bingham model. An optimal design that accounts for spatial-limitation and the desired torque constraint is then undertaken. An optimization procedure based on finite element analysis is proposed to determine optimal geometric dimensions. Based on the design procedure, MR haptic master with the optimal parameters has been manufactured. In order to demonstrate the practical feasibility of the proposed haptic master, the field-dependent generating repulsive force is measured. In addition, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is empirically implemented to accomplish the desired torque trajectories. It has been shown that the proposed haptic master can track the desired torque trajectory without a significant error.

Abstract Objective This study evaluated the degree to which recommendations for demographic data standardization improve patient matching accuracy using real-world datasets. Materials and Methods We used 4 manually reviewed datasets, containing a random selection of matches and nonmatches. Matching datasets included health information exchange (HIE) records, public health registry records, Social Security Death Master File records, and newborn screening records. Standardized fields including last name, telephone number, social security number, date of birth, and address. Matching performance was evaluated using 4 metrics: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and accuracy. Results Standardizing address was independently associated with improved matching sensitivities for both the public health and HIE datasets of approximately 0.6% and 4.5%. Overall accuracy was unchanged for both datasets due to reduced match specificity. We observed no similar impact for address standardization in the death master file dataset. Standardizing last name yielded improved matching sensitivity of 0.6% for the HIE dataset, while overall accuracy remained the same due to a decrease in match specificity. We noted no similar impact for other datasets. Standardizing other individual fields (telephone, date of birth, or social security number) showed no matching improvements. As standardizing address and last name improved matching sensitivity, we examined the combined effect of address and last name standardization, which showed that standardization improved sensitivity from 81.3% to 91.6% for the HIE dataset. Conclusions Data standardization can improve match rates, thus ensuring that patients and clinicians have better data on which to make decisions to enhance care quality and safety.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a two-channel architecture and design approach that enables a simultaneous increase in the transparency and stability robustness of a bilateral teleoperation system, and additionally provides a high degree of transparency robustness to uncertainty in the operator and environment dynamics. The former is provided by the use of a loop-shaping filter incorporated on the master-to-slave motion command, and the latter by local feedback loops around both the master and slave manipulators. The proposed architecture and design approach are illustrated on a single-degree-of-freedom example with and without a communication channel time delay. Finally, the implications of scaling on the stability of the teleoperator loop are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Higher education on simulation & gaming has a long history with several master degrees offered by Universities worldwide. Currently, the popularity of Serious Games (SGs) has resulted in an increased interest on relevant master degrees. Despite the large number of master degrees on games in general, the literature on designing and evaluating relevant courses in higher education is rather limited. Aim. This article aims at contributing on the field of SGs higher education by reporting on the design and evaluation of a graduate course on ‘SGs Programming’. The course aims at providing students a holistic overview of SGs design, development and evaluation in a single course offered at a master degree that is not dedicated to simulation & gaming. The main goal of the pilot study presented was to investigate whether the proposed course can fulfill its objectives, as well as to draw conclusions on the design and deployment of the course that would be of interest to educators in the field of SGs. Method. In order to evaluate the course in terms of students’ satisfaction and outcomes a specially designed questionnaire was filled in and analyzed, along with students’ performance in their artifacts and final exams. Results. The results of the questionnaire combined with students’ performance show that the course fulfilled its goals in a high degree. Conclusions. Teaching SGs design and programming in a single master course is feasible by applying an iterative, project-based and microworld approach, utilizing both educational and professional tools and programming languages.

Full textAbstract:
This work proposes a novel impedance control strategy for a delayed bilateral tele-surgery system to perform a drilling process during spinal surgery. In the new designed control scheme, regarding a desired impedance model for master and slave robot, an especial dynamic characteristic at the surgeon and master as well as slave and vertebra interface is designed. Two desired impedance models are proposed for the master and slave robots such that: (a) the salve robot that holds the drilling device should track the master path but complies with the reaction force of the vertebra, and (b) the surgeon should receive feedback from the slave-vertebra interaction force via the master robot. These main objectives are attained by proper adjustment in the proposed impedance model, which does not require any direct measurement of vertebra reflections. Then, the impedance model is put into a proper sliding mode controller to cope with the modeling uncertainties in the slave side. Consequently, the absolute stability concept is utilized to investigate closed-loop system stability and transparency. Finally, the control scheme is implemented on one degree of freedom robotic manipulators as master and slave robot. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the designed impedance control scheme in the presence of modeling uncertainties.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents tracking control performances of the repulsive force and torque of a haptic master with 6 degrees of freedom, which can be applied to robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries. The proposed haptic master is activated by two types of actuators that use magneto-rheological fluid: magneto-rheological clutch and magneto-rheological brake. The body segment (or lower part) of the haptic master generates the repulsive forces for the three translational axes using the magneto-rheological clutch, while the wrist segment (or upper part) generates the repulsive torque for the three rotational axes through the use of the magneto-rheological brake. After analyzing the kinematic and dynamic equations, an appropriately sized haptic master is designed and manufactured. The field-dependent force and torque characteristics of the magneto-rheological actuators are experimentally investigated. Then, for successful tracking control performances, a fuzzy plus proportional–integral–derivative feedback controller is used for the repulsive force while a feed-forward controller associated with a hysteretic compensator for the repulsive torque. The effectiveness of the proposed 6-degree-of-freedom haptic master is experimentally validated by demonstrating high tracking accuracy of the force and torque.

This paper presents a design of a one-degree-of-freedom haptic interface system with an aim to investigate control of the system. The system comprised master devices, a system interacting with a user, and slave devices, a system interacting with environments. Both sets of devices were coupled with a gripper, which was designed in a shape of a cantilever beam, to measure force, and a DC motor was employed to drive precision ball screws, which were attached to the gripper, so as to create linear motion. In addition, an encoder was installed so as to investigate motion of the gripper, and the analysis results were employed for a design of a controller, based on the P, PI, PD, and PID type. The aim of this is to provide an operator with tactile sensing through control of the master devices while the slave devices were in contact with an object. The simulation results showed that the stiffness of an object affects stability of the system with a designed controller, causing, limitation of operation, that is, the system was stable when stiffness of the object was less than 43.3 kN/m, and the operator obtained a good response of positions and resistance while contacting with an object as though the operator has direct interaction with such an object.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presented the mechanical design and control of a lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton named “the second lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton (LLRE-II)”. The exoskeleton with a lightweight mechanism comprises a 16-cm stepless adjustable thigh and calf rod. The LLRE-II weighs less than 16 kg and has four degrees of freedom on each leg, including the waist, hip, knee, and ankle, which ensures fitted wear and comfort. Motors and harmonic drives were installed on the joints of the hip and knee to operate the exoskeleton. Meanwhile, master and slave motor controllers were programmed using a Texas Instruments microcontroller (TMS320F28069) for the walking gait commands and evaluation boards (TMS320F28069/DRV8301) of the joints. A self-tuning multiaxis control system was developed, and the performance of the controller was investigated through experiments. The experimental results showed that the mechanical design and control system exhibit adequate performance. Trajectory tracking errors were eliminated, and the root mean square errors reduced from 6.45 to 1.22 and from 4.15 to 3.09 for the hip and knee, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes a novel bilateral control design based on an estimated reaction force without a force sensor for a three-degree of freedom hydraulic servo system with master–slave manipulators. The proposed method is based upon sliding mode control with sliding perturbation observer (SMCSPO) using a bilateral control environment. The sliding perturbation observer (SPO) estimates the reaction force at the end effector and second link without using any sensors. The sliding mode control (SMC) is used as a bilateral controller for the robust position tracking and control of the slave device. A bilateral control strategy in a hydraulic servo system provides robust position and force tracking between master and slave. The difference between the reaction force of the slave produced by the effect of the remote environment and the operating force applied to the master by the operator is expressed in the target impedance model. The impedance model is applied to the master and allows the operator to feel the reaction force from the environment. This research experimentally verifies that the slave device can follow the trajectory of the master device using the proposed bilateral control strategy based on the estimated reaction force. This technique will be convenient for three or more degree of freedom (DOF) hydraulic servo systems used in dismantling nuclear power plants. It is worthy to mention that a camera is used for visual feedback on the safety of the environment and workspace.

Full textAbstract:
For the power distribution network line loss calculation, there are some problems, such as backward method, long calculation period, large workload and poor real-time performance. To this end, this paper proposes a real-time calculation method for distribution line loss based on dynamic three-phase unbalance, and a hardware device system with unbalanced phase sequence identification function, three-phase unbalance detection function and line loss real-time calculation function has been developed. The system uses a master-slave design based on the principle of wireless transmission. The slave collects standard three-phase current signals and transmits them to the host through wireless transmission. The host is installed on the low voltage side of the transformer in the transformer region, and the current signal of the transformer region is collected in real time. Unbalanced phase sequence identification, unbalance calculation, and line loss calculation based on dynamic unbalance are performed by comparing the current signals collected by the master and the slave. The above algorithm implementation process can be displayed online in real time. In addition to the core data processing and waveform display functions, the device also includes a battery power supply and management system, a signal storage and transmission system, and temperature measurement, and overcurrent and overvoltage protection. The test results of the device show that the device has the characteristics of convenient carrying, fast detection of three-phase unbalance, and accurate calculation of line loss. The device can monitor the running status of the distribution network transformer region in real time.

Full textAbstract:
To bilaterally control an nth-order teleoperation system modeled on state space, state convergence methodology provides an elegant way to design control gains through a solution of 3 n + 1 equations. These design conditions are obtained by allowing the master–slave error to evolve as an autonomous system and then assigning the desired dynamic behavior to the slave and error systems. The controller, thus obtained, ensures the motion synchronization of master and slave systems with adjustable force reflection to the operator. Although simple to design and easy to implement, state convergence method suffers from its dependence on model parameters, and thus the performance of the controller may degrade in the presence of parametric uncertainties. To address this limitation, we propose to integrate an extended state observer in the existing state convergence architecture which will not only compensate the modeling inaccuracies by treating them as a disturbance but will also provide the estimates of the master and slave states. These estimated states are then used to construct the bilateral controller which is designed by following the method of state convergence. In this case, 2 n + 2 additional design equations are required to be solved to fix the observer gains. To validate the proposed enhancement in the state convergence architecture, simulations and semi-real-time experiments are performed in MATLAB/Simulink environment on a single degree-of-freedom teleoperation system.

Full textAbstract:
It is vital that subjects such as the circular economy, sustainable design, green computing or environmental engineering be included in the engineering curriculum. Education for sustainable development will enable engineers to develop sustainable products and provide sustainable services, thereby leading to a beneficial result for society and making an indispensable contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals achievement. As the last stage for students in academia, Degree Theses (Bachelor’s and Master’s) provide a good tool for reviewing the sustainability competencies developed during the degree, as well as being an opportunity for applying these competencies in a holistic way. In their Degree Theses, students should be able to demonstrate that they are aware of the need to introduce and assess sustainability in their future engineering projects. This paper presents a guide aimed at helping engineering students to design and develop sustainable projects, and analyzes the first results of its use in two schools of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya—BarcelonaTech. The proposal is based on a tool referred to as “the Sustainability Matrix”, in which cells contain questions that engineering students should take into account when undertaking their Degree Theses. The questions are related to the project development, the project exploitation and the possible risks involved, three aspects in accordance with the sustainability dimensions (economic, environmental and social). The Sustainability Matrix helps students to develop sustainable projects when they graduate, and teachers to assess how sustainability is incorporated across the curriculum in the subjects they teach and in the students’ Degree Theses.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, new surgical tools have been designed to improve treatment results and lower patient trauma. Nevertheless, the dexterity and accuracy required for the positioning of new tools are often unreachable, if surgeons are not assisted by suitable systems. Significant advantages are derived from the introduction of computer and robot technologies. For that reason, the interaction between robotic systems and surgeons today is producing new interest worldwide both in medical and engineering fields. In particular, medical robotics has found fruitful ground in neurosurgical applications, since the high functional density of the central nervous system requires strict accuracy constraints on tool positioning. As a matter of fact, the major benefits of robots, such as precision, accuracy and repeatability, make them ideal as neurosurgeons’ assistants. This paper presents a master-slave haptic robotic system for minimally invasive neurosurgery, which can aid surgeons in performing safer and more accurate stereotactic neurosurgical treatments. The design of the proposed system is based on LANS (Linear Actuator for NeuroSurgery), which has been developed by our Research Group. Experimental test aimed at showing the added value of the DAANS system over its predecessor, the effectiveness of conformational caps and of the added rotational degree of freedom are scheduled for the upcoming months.

Full textAbstract:
Bilateral teleoperation systems connected to computer networks such as the internet have to deal with varying time delays depending on several factors such as congestion, bandwidth, or distance. Such systems can easily become unstable due to irregular or varying time delays. A passivity concept has been used as the framework to solve the stability problem in bilateral control of teleoperation systems and we demonstrate in this paper how to recover both passivity and tracking performance using a novel control architecture that incorporates time varying gains into the transmission path, feedforward, and feedback position control. Simulation results for a single-degree of freedom master/ slave system are presented which demonstrates the performance of the resulting control architecture.

Design/methodology/approach The authors propose that by positioning collaboration as part of a research culture built on trust and respect, discussion about and the development of healthy collaborative research culture will be facilitated. A healthy culture is defined as one that supports sustainable and productive collaborative research. Findings The applications of the framework demonstrate the role the framework can play in supporting researchers to understand, engage in and manage collaborations. Research limitations/implications Reflection on discussions to date has led to the authors’ view that collaborative success requires a unique set of skills (i.e. skills in the development of a collaborative research culture) and that the framework provides a deliberate and overt way of supporting development of those skills. Originality/value The framework helps HDRs develop the capacity to build healthy collaborative research cultures vital for their research productivity and longer-term success as researchers.

We describe an innovative, semester-long course in biology and communication skills for master’s degree students in biostatistics. The primary goal of the course is to make the connection between biological science and statistics more explicit. The secondary goals are to teach oral and written communication skills in an appropriate context for applied biostatisticians, and to teach a structured approach to thinking that enables students to become lifelong learners in biology, study design, and the application of statistics to biomedical research. Critical evaluation of medical literature is the method used to teach biology and communication. Exercises are constructivist in nature, designed to be hands-on and encourage reflection through writing and oral communication. A single disease area (cancer) provides a motivating example to: 1) introduce students to the most commonly used study designs in medical and public health research, 2) illustrate how study design is used to address questions about human biology and disease, 3) teach basic biological concepts necessary for a successful career in biostatistics, and 4) train students to read and critically evaluate publications in peer-reviewed journals. We describe the design and features of the course, the intended audience, and provide detailed examples for instructors interested in designing similar courses.

Abstract French positions regarding nonhuman animal experimentation were examined. A total of 163 participants were presented with 72 vignettes depicting an experimental protocol. They were composed according to a five-factor design: (a) the fate of the animal (e.g., was sacrificed for the purpose of further analyses), (b) environment in which the animal was raised, (c) main objective of the experiment (purely theoretical vs. therapeutic), (d) degree of pain inflicted, and (e) species involved (rabbit, coyote, or chimpanzee). Through cluster analysis of participants’ acceptability judgments, six qualitatively different positions were found. Four had already been described by observation of the functioning of animal ethics committees: Animals have Rights, Ethics in the name of Animals, Ethics in the name of Patients, and Ethics in the name of Science. Female participants held the Animals-have-Rights position three times more often than males. Male participants held an Ethics-in-the-name-of-Science position four times more often than females.

Examples of survey design are subjects that are usually taught to students pursuing minors or statistical majors at the end of their undergraduate degree. This article describes evaluation initiatives that encourage active learning and help develop important skill sets for statistical practice. The project is completed in pairs and submitted in two parts. This allows input from the first section to be forwarded to the second section. Ideally, students should have experience taking samples from the actual population. But the time it takes to receive approval from the university's ethics committee may not be appropriate for a short course. The alternative is to use an online virtual population such as Island software, which provides students with experience in setting up sampling systems, getting approval from potential participants, and collecting data. Written communication skills and teamwork are highly valued by statistical graduate employers. The project promotes collective learning in sample survey design, statistical analysis of the data obtained, and preparation of final written reports. It can be easily adapted for first year students and can also be expanded to accommodate students at Master or Honors level.

Purpose The paper presents and analyses quantitative data on student perceptions about the employability of the first degree, and their trajectory choices on graduation. The purpose of this paper is to assess the value of the first degree as a positional good in Portugal, further to the degree’s reduced duration after the implementation of the Bologna Process. Design/methodology/approach In total, 828 students responded to an online survey administered between September 2013 and February 2014. Students came from 17 institutions, public and private, universities and polytechnics, across the country. Differences in student perceptions were analysed by higher education sector, study level and gender through descriptive statistics. Findings The majority of surveyed students, across sectors, study level and gender, assessed as negative the impact of the implementation of the Bologna reforms on the employability of the first degree. This had implications for students’ intended choices on graduation, as the majority consider enroling in a master degree (except for polytechnic students). Additionally, a large proportion of students felt unprepared to enter the labour market after the first degree. Research limitations/implications The size and distribution of the sample pose limitations for the generalisation of results to the student population. Practical implications The finding suggest that enrolments in master degrees are likely to keep rising, a valuable piece of information for institutions and policy-makers responsible for regulating higher education in Portugal. Originality/value Opinions about the value of the first degree have generally been based on qualitative research or anecdotal evidence. This study brings a quantitative perspective on the first degree’s value for different groups of students.

Purpose This study aims to address the topic of ethics, responsibility and sustainability (ERS) orientation of students enrolled in schools of economics and management master’s degrees. It examines the effect of educational background and gender on Portuguese students’ orientation towards ERS, as well as the extent to which there is a relation between the scientific area of the master degree in which the student is enrolled and his/her ERS orientation. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a sample of 201 students from several master degrees offered by the School of Economics and Management of a large public Portuguese university and analysed their ERS orientation using a survey by questionnaire. Findings Findings suggest that there are differences in orientation across gender, with female students valuing ERS more than their male counterparts. Educational background has minimal effects on the responses. It was also found some sort of selection effect in terms of the scientific area of the master degree and ERS orientation. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by analysing the issue of whether students with an educational background in economics and management present different ERS orientation than their counterparts, as well as by examining whether there is some sort of self-selection into the study of disciplines in which ERS orientation is likely to be a week.

Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with the development of a 4 degree of freedom direct drive master manipulator system which has the ability of virtually adjusting its mechanical impedance. In the field of bilateral master-slave manipulation, there are some important points to be considered when a master manipulator is designed. One point is related to how to measure the human operator’s arm motion with high accuracy (which the operator produces to teach the trajectory of tasks). Another point is how to design an effective force/torque generator to make an operator feel the constraint forces the slave arm will receive from the environments during tasks. To satisfy these requirements, a manipulator with a variable mechanical impedance structure and joints equipped with high resolution angular displacement sensors is expected to be developed. The use of the variable impedance structure provides a capability of reflecting the constraint forces to an operator not only statically, but also dynamically. This is effective to present the constraints to an operator with high fidelity. In the research, joint mechanisms and joint sensors suitable for the impedance control were discussed, while the mechanical structure of the master manipulator which is effective to construct a simple impedance control law was investigated. With these considerations in mind, a master manipulator was designed and its impedance control law was formulated. The features of the manufactured manipulator are summarized as follows; (1) each joint is driven by a direct drive torque motor with less friction and has a high resolution angular encoder attached to a processor which can provide joint angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration. (2) the manipulator has the decoupled and configuration-invariant inertia structure in part which is effective to simplify impedance control law. In the paper, the design concept of the master manipulator is first discussed. Secondly, the details of the manufactured manipulator structure are explained. Finally, the results of the evaluation experiments are described and the fundamental characteristics of the system are confirmed.
