Full textAbstract:
Eighteenth-century children's authors implicitly exploited the fantastic and the improbable aspects of fairy tales to complement the persuasiveness of their moralistic teachings. Whereas the coexistence of chapbook residue with middle-class pedagogy in eighteenth-century children's books has already been underlined in scholarly studies, little critical attention has been paid to the rhetorical effects exercised by the incorporation of the fantastic and the improbable in eighteenth-century children's stories. Through appealing to the audience's collective imagination, eighteenth-century children's authors both derived from and built upon a set of common aspirations shared by a middle-class audience, thus cultivating a sense of what Kenneth Burke termed consubstantiality among the readers. Focussing on John Newbery's A Little Pretty Pocket-Book (1744), The History of Goody Two-Shoes (1765), and Maria Edgeworth's ‘The Orphans’ (1796), this study explores the modus operandi through which late-eighteenth-century children's authors sought to communicate serious messages by employing improbable plotlines.

People are in the intellectual age. The use of technologies such as smart search engines, machine translation, fingerprint analysis, facial scanning, and self-driving makes people’s social and work lives happier. The intersection of artificial intelligence and other projects has also become the focus of research in the new era. This article uses comparative experimental methods and sampling methods, puts forward the evaluation method of association rules in the recommendation of sports goods, and compares the selection of sensors used by the five types of sports companies in the sports experiments. In the experiment part, according to the minimum confidence level, the two rules are met. Minimum confidence is a threshold defined by users or experts to measure confidence, which represents the lowest reliability of association rules. The conclusion is that 30% of users have bought running shoes and hiking shoes at the same time and 66.6% of users have also purchased sports suits; there are also sports suits purchased at the same time. All mountain bike users have bought sports gloves. The weight of Freescale is 0.2530, the weight of Bosch is 0.4457, the weight of ST is 0.0946, the weight of VTI is 0.0953, and the weight of Konix is 0.1114. The experimental results show that the selection result of the three-axis acceleration sensor is the SMB380 model of Bosch.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Wearing high-heeled shoes (HH) is a wide-spread practice among Western women, maintaining popularity despite its harmful potential. We examined the main motivation behind wearing HH in female students, as well as the possible change to wearing HH among the research participants. Methods: Thirty university students (N=30 females, age 21.8±2.09 years; weight: 55.7±4.05 kg, height: 1.66±0.03 m, BMI: 20.34±1.41 kg.m-2, shoe size: EU 36–38), who rarely wore HH. The participants wore HH for no longer than 6 hours per month during the period two past years. The SonoSens Monitor Analyzer system (Gefremed, Chemnitz, Germany) was used to observe participants’ posture when walking and movements in individual sections of their spines. In a comparative experiment, the correlation between variables recorded when walking in two types of shoes was identified. The first pair of shoes (HH) had 7 cm heels whereas the second were flat sport shoes (FS). Results: The evaluation of participants’ spines and posture when walking in HH and FS revealed significant differences (p < 0.05). The evaluation of the initial and follow-up surveys indicates that the main motivation for wearing HH among the test group was to increase their attractiveness and respond to social expectations. After participating in the research and becoming aware of its outcomes and issues, the test group’s attitude to wearing HH has changed. Conclusions: In regards to good posture and spinal health, this study has raised some awareness amongst its participants, and has therefore proved to be a significant positive influence.

Full textAbstract:
FoMO or Fear of Missing Out behavior is a type of behavior that is very widespread these days. The aim of this study is to analyze and dissect the FoMO behavior. In particular, it concerns shoe fashion, which is widespread among students. The existence of different types of faculties spread across universities with the grouping of saintek and soshum certainly has consequences for students. It provides a perspective on a phenomenon. Of course, there are differences between the two large groups. It is this difference that provides an interesting proposition for why this research was conducted. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The results of the study showed that FoMO behavior has consequences for students buying or consuming goods, especially shoes with brand value. The authenticity of an item also influences students' shopping interest. They prefer to buy original or genuine shoes, which guarantee quality, rather than branded but fake or imitation (KW) shoes. Thus, it can be concluded that there is still relevance between the theory of consumer society by Jean P. Baudrillard and the condition of contemporary students of Jember University.

Full textAbstract:
The authors determined that the current situation in the market of men’s shoes is developing in accordance with the principles of demand theory. As a result of declining incomes and a significant increase in prices, footwear consumption decreases to the level of minimum needs, consumption of cheap and low-quality goods increases. The authors found that footwear production in Ukraine is declining, despite the “fresh blood” in the form of numerous small workshops that have appeared in the country over the past two years in a wave of fashion for everything Ukrainian, the industry is still in the same state as and the entire economy. Currently, the situation in the country is quite favorable for increasing the production of domestic footwear, as some people are ready to give it preference over imported, for economic or patriotic reasons. But consumers do not have enough information about domestic products, in addition, it is poorly represented in retail outlets in Vinnytsia. In the last few years, the factors by which the Ukrainian consumer decides whether to buy a new pair of shoes, and if so, which one, have changed significantly. First, the main priority was price, not quality. If before the vast majority of consumers bought only leather shoes, now they agree to other materials to save. But Ukrainian manufacturers almost do not make shoes from artificial materials. On the one hand, they are not used to working with them, on the other – they focus on consumer tastes. However, they still do not take into account two important circumstances that have significantly changed consumer tastes in recent times: first, buyers want cheaper products; second, more and more consumers are refusing to wear genuine leather clothing and footwear for ethical reasons. So if manufacturers take into account new changing circumstances and updated consumer demands, they will be able to conquer most of the footwear market without much effort. The paper presents the results of research on the range of modern men’s shoes. A marketing study of the range of footwear of a specific regional market was conducted. The commodity characteristics of some types of modern men’s footwear, in particular “Oxfords”, “Derby” are presented.

States offer sales tax holidays (STHs) temporarily exempting items like clothes, shoes, and school supplies from the state sales tax. Spending response to these temporary tax changes are investigated using two datasets: the Diary portion of the Consumer Expenditure Survey and a unique dataset of credit card transactions. Results based on a difference-in-differences methodology show that there are substantial increases in spending on covered goods during these holidays that are not offset by declines in spending before or after the holidays.

Full textAbstract:
Diabetes often causes foot complications, inducing diabetic patients to use therapy shoes or custom-made shoes designed on the basis of anthropometric characteristics of their feet to ensure a good fitting. Wearing poorly fitted shoes contributes to the development of foot ulcer sites. This paper presents the results of foot anthropometric research, developing a foot size system for men with diabetes in Vietnam in order to develop pressure-offloading footwear. The foot data of 212 men with type-2 diabetes aged 44 to 75 years were collected during this study. Foot photography and patient interviews about foot complications were also conducted by research assistants. The results show that the average disease duration of the surveyed patients was statistically calculated as 6.8 ± 4.3 years. The patients from 50 to 70 years old accounted for up to 86.8% of all interviewees. In all participants, the patients with foot pain and swelling of metatarsal joints accounted for 19.8%, foot ulcers accounted for 6.4%, dry feet, cracked skin, and calluses almost equally accounted for 12%. Most of the feet are slightly deformed mainly in the metatarsal joint area and no patient had a leg amputation. The patients suffering from two types of foot injuries account for more than 43.1%. Interestingly, the ball width and circumference of the patient’s foot are 4.5 mm and 6.5 mm larger than that of a healthy man’s foot, respectively; whereas, the mid-foot height is 3.7 mm lower. From the collected data and statistic figures, the patient foot sizing system has been developed including 5 sizes by length (231.5, 238.0, 244.5, 251.0, 257.5 mm), and each size by length is divided into 3 sizes by width. Our categorizing system meets more than 81.5% of the shoe size needed by men with diabetes in Vietnam.

"Nanocomposite Foams with Balanced Mechanical Properties and Energy Return from EVA and CNT for the Midsole of Sports Footwear Application." Polymers 15, no. 4 (February 14, 2023): 948. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/polym15040948.
Full textAbstract:
Polymer foam that provides good support with high energy return (low energy loss) is desirable for sport footwear to improve running performance. Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foam is commonly used in the midsole of running shoes. However, EVA foam exhibits low mechanical properties. Conventional mineral fillers are usually employed to improve EVA’s mechanical performance, but the energy return is sacrificed. Here, we produced nanocomposite foams from EVA and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) using a chemical foaming process. Two kinds of CNT derived from the upcycling of commodity plastics were prepared through a catalytic chemical vapor deposition process and used as reinforcing and nucleating agents. Our results show that EVA foam incorporated with oxygenated CNT (O-CNT) demonstrated a more pronounced improvement of physical, mechanical, and dynamic impact response properties than acid-purified CNT (A-CNT). When CNT with weight percentage as low as 0.5 wt% was added to the nanocomposites, the physical properties, abrasion resistance, compressive strength, dynamic stiffness, and rebound performance of the EVA foams were improved significantly. Unlike the conventional EVA formulation filled with talc mineral fillers, the incorporation of CNT does not compromise the energy return of the EVA foam. From the long-cycle dynamic fatigue test, the CNT/EVA foam displays greater properties retention as compared to the talc/EVA foam. This work demonstrates a good balanced of mechanical-energy return properties of EVA nanocomposite foam with very low CNT content, which presents promising opportunities for lightweight–high rebound midsoles for running shoes.

Full textAbstract:
The problems of providing collective farm families of the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic with food and non-food industrial goods in the first post-war five-year period are studied. The relevance of the study is due to the unresolved problem of scientifically based and balanced consumption of these goods by the population to date. The source base for writing the article was the materials of budget surveys of the population, which have a long history in our country. Materials from the funds of two archives, some of which have never been published and have signs of scientific novelty were used. It was alleged that the main foodstuffs in the Bashkir village in the first post-war years were potatoes, milk and bread with some addition of vegetables and meat products. It is stated that most of the money allocated for the purchase of manufactured goods was spent on the purchase of ready-made clothes, shoes, fabrics and piece goods from them, as well as soap and matches. Attention is focused on the fact that the monetary reform of 1947 sharply reduced the income of collective farmers in the Urals. It is proved that in the period under study the level of provision of collective farm families of the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic with food and nonfood industrial goods was significantly lower than the scientifically based norms for their consumption.

Full textAbstract:
Ground reaction force data and tibial accelerations from a skin-mounted transducer were collected during rearfoot running at 3.3 m/s across a force platform. Five repetitive trials from 27 subjects in each of 19 different footwear conditions were evaluated. Ground reaction force as well as tibial acceleration parameters were found to be useful for the evaluation of the cushioning properties of different athletic footwear. The good prediction of tibial accelerations by the maximum vertical force rate toward the initial force peak (r2 = .95) suggests that the use of a force platform is sufficient for the estimation of shock-absorbing properties of sport shoes. If an even higher prediction accuracy is required a regression equation with two variables (maximum force rate, median power frequency) may be used (r2 = .97). To evaluate the influence of footwear on the shock traveling through the body, a good prediction of peak tibial accelerations can be achieved from force platform measurements.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents survey results from shopping behavior transformation in developed and developing countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in spring 2020. The survey includes the polling process that covered 515 and 117 young adults, respectively, for two economies and factor analysis to determine the latent intentions of purchase behavior. Shopping patterns were studied for food, medicine, goods of first priority, electronics, clothing, and shoes. According to factor analysis results, we determined nine factors that reveal some similarities in shopping behavior as pro-safe purchases and belt-tightening patterns for both economies. Along with that, we revealed that people from developed countries perceived the greater danger and fear due to the COVID-19 crisis than young adults from developing economy. Based on polling results, the post–COVID-19 shopping channel choice behavior was evaluated for developed and developing economies.

Full textAbstract:
Ground reaction force (GRF) is essential for estimating muscle strength and joint torque in inverse dynamic analysis. Typically, it is measured using a force plate. However, force plates have spatial limitations, and studies of gaits involve numerous steps and thus require a large number of force plates, which is disadvantageous. To overcome these challenges, we developed a deep learning model for estimating three-axis GRF utilizing shoes with three uniaxial load cells. GRF data were collected from 81 people as they walked on two force plates while wearing shoes with three load cells. The three-axis GRF was calculated using a seq2seq approach based on long short-term memory (LSTM). To conduct the learning, validation, and testing, random selection was performed based on the subjects. The 60 selected participants were divided as follows: 37 were in the training set, 12 were in the validation set, and 11 were in the test set. The estimated GRF matched the force plate-measured GRF with correlation coefficients of 0.97, 0.96, and 0.90 and root mean square errors of 65.12 N, 15.50 N, and 9.83 N for the vertical, anterior–posterior, and medial–lateral directions, respectively, and there was a mid-stance timing error of 5.61% in the test dataset. A Bland–Altman analysis showed good agreement for the maximum vertical GRF. The proposed shoe with three uniaxial load cells and seq2seq LSTM can be utilized for estimating the 3D GRF in an outdoor environment with level ground and/or for gait research in which the subject takes several steps at their preferred walking speed, and hence can supply crucial data for a basic inverse dynamic analysis.

Full textAbstract:
We reviewed the results of reconstruction of the fore part of the foot in rheumatoid patients by arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The follow-up averaged 4.1 years (range, 2.0 to 7.25 years). Eighteen feet in eleven women were operated on. Twelve feet underwent total reconstruction of the fore part: arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and excision of all of the lesser metatarsophalangeal joints. Six feet underwent subtotal reconstruction, which included arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The results were classified as excellent in fourteen feet, good in two, and fair in two. There were no poor results. Metatarsophalangeal bone fusion was achieved in all but one foot (fusion rate, 94 per cent). The one fibrous ankylosis was painless, with satisfactory function. Interphalangeal degenerative joint disease was a radiographic but not a clinical sequela. Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint provided stability that permanently corrected deformity, permitted the patients to wear ordinary shoes, and, in combination with excisional arthroplasty of involved lesser metatarsophalangeal joints, relieved disabling pain in the fore part of the foot.

Full textAbstract:
Sensory nerve neuromas caused by incisions on the dorsum of the foot are a common cause of failed foot surgery and can be severely painful and disabling. Thirty-seven patients with 55 symptomatic sensory nerve neuromas were evaluated and treated at the Painful Foot Center. Ten patients with moderately severe symptoms chose not to undergo surgery and were treated with oversized shoes with or without protective orthoses. Twenty-seven patients underwent surgery. Four with spindle neuromas were treated by neurolysis. Two improved slightly, one remained the same, and one became worse. Twenty-three were treated by proximal resection with or without burial of the nerve stump into an appropriate muscle belly. Thirteen of the 23 obtained good results, four obtained fair results, and six obtained poor results. Thus, a total of 20 patients (74%) obtained clinically satisfactory results, and seven (26%), unsatisfactory results. It is much easier to prevent a sensory neuroma by meticulous surgical technique than to treat a highly sympatomatic neuroma.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual reality (VR) environments provide a high level of immersion that expands the possibilities for perspective-taking so that people can be in the shoes of others. In that regard, VR storytelling environments are good for situating people in a real migration story. Previous research has investigated how users engage in narrative VR experiences. However, there is a lack of research on the predictors of engagement in VR storytelling environments. To fill this gap in the literature, this study aims to identify the predictors of engagement when VR is used as a medium to tell a migration story. A structural model based on hypotheses was validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with data from the interaction of 212 university students with a tailor-made VR experience developed in Unity to engage people in two migration stories. The results show that our model explains 55.2% of the variance in engagement because of the positive influence of immersion, presence, agency, usability, and user experience (UX).

Full textAbstract:
Research by our group and others indicates that many amputations of the lower limb occur after foot ulceration in patients with diabetes. It has been proposed that diabetic foot ulcers are mainly caused by repetitive trauma in areas of high plantar pressure during walking. Recent technology permits in-shoe measurement of plantar pressure. We assessed the reliability of the F-Scan in-shoe system for measurement of plantar pressure (Tekscan Inc., Boston, MA) in 51 subjects from a cohort of 977 diabetic veterans enrolled in a prospective study of risk factors for foot ulceration and amputation (the Seattle Diabetic Foot Study). Subjects were tested twice, wearing their own shoes. We used the coefficient of variation (CV) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to estimate the reliability of F-Scan measurements of pressure. Peak pressure over the metatarsal heads proved to have the best indices of reliability, with CVs of 0.150 and 0.155, and ICCs of 0.755 and 0.751. Coefficients of variation for the heel, whole foot, and hallux ranged from 0.148 to 0.240, with ICCs ranging from 0.493 to 0.832. By published standards, peak pressures over the metatarsal heads and right hallux met the criteria for excellent reliability. Our ICCs for high pressures under the foot, heel, metatarsal heads, and hallux, and for peak pressures under the heel and left hallux represented fair-to-good reliability. No F-Scan plantar measurements could be judged by these criteria as having poor reliability. This clinical study found that for elderly patients with diabetes who were wearing their own shoes and were tested on two different days with different insoles, the F-Scan insole system was generally reliable for measurements of high pressure and peak pressure.

"INCREASING PRODUCTION WEIGHT OF MODIFIED-BIOSILICA FROM RICE HUSK AND ITS APPLICATIONS AS REINFORCING FILLER IN RUBBER FINISHED GOODS." Jurnal Penelitian Pascapanen Pertanian 18, no. 2 (November 24, 2021): 63. http://dx.doi.org/10.21082/jpasca.v18n2.2021.63-74.
Full textAbstract:
Biosilica from rice husks has a potential that can be used as a reinforcing filler in the production of rubber finished goods displace mine silica. But it’s difficult to disperse homogenetically into a rubber finished goods, so it needs to modify the surface using a coupling agent sign. The capacity for the production of modified-biosilica would need to be at a great level to meet the needs of the rubber industry. The purpose of the research is to identify the characteristics of the modified-biosilica by silane TESPT (bis-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfane) that resulted from increasing the weight of biosilica in the production process and the application as reinforcing filler on the rubber. Increasing of weight in the production process was done gradually on a scale of 0.5; 1; 2; and 5 kg of biosilica per process using a mixer-propeller. The technique on surface modifications was using a one-step modification (OSM) and two-step modification (TSM). Surface modification treatment using TESPT has increased the uniformity of the particle size distribution of the biosilica. Unmodified-biosilica has an average particle size of 717.1 nm (PDI 0.600), while modified-biosilica has an average particle size of 574.6 nm (PDI 0.585). Applications for reinforcing filler in the soles rubber industry are performed in PT Triangkasa Lestari Utama. Research indicates that increasing the weight of biosilica on the surface modifications did not significantly affect the density, lightness, crystallinity, and purity. The applications as reinforcing fillers have increased the quality of rubber finished goods compared with unmodified-biosilica. The best rubber finished goods quality approaching shoes-sol standards is a product that used modified-biosilica by OSM technique. This rubber finished goods has a tensile strength of 5.80 MPa, elongation at break of 425%, tear strength of 23.25% and abrasion resistance of 251.5 mm3 .

To solve the problems of the low power density of pure electric excitation generator and nonadjustable magnetic field of pure permanent magnet (PM) generator, a salient-pole hybrid excitation generator (HEG) was proposed in this paper. The designed generator realized coexcitation of two magnetic fields by changing the shape of the pole shoes and embedding the combined-pole PM steels. Compared with other HEGs, it had the advantages of high power density, less excitation loss, and small volume. The paper deduced the analytical expressions of the main magnetic field and armature reaction magnetic field of the HEG and analyzed the armature reaction magnetic circuit, the main influencing parameters, and the influence law of each parameter on the generator output performance to complete the parameter matching of the whole machine. The prototype was trial manufactured and tested with the optimized parameters. The results show that the designed HEG has a low voltage regulation rate, good no-load characteristics, and regulation characteristics. It can ensure the regulated output voltage under rated load conditions and meet the application requirement.

For almost two years, the restrictions imposed by the government of Indonesia to control the spread of Covid-19 pandemic have changed the way consumers shopping their necessities from conventional shops to online stores. Supported with good information communication technology infrastructures and vast network of logistic distribution, customers find conveniences while shopping online, thus, e-commerce rules over the conventional businesses. As the pandemic was under control, conventional businesses resume their activities, including the opening of malls and other public places by the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result, shoppers are returning to malls, and shop owners are launching marketing campaigns to attract buyers. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of shopping enjoyment and in-store shopping experience on impulse buying among the Generation Y while browsing in-store on limited edition sport shoes. Limited edition sport shoes are purchased by the Generation Y sport fans as collectible items which become a symbol of social identity embedded to that generation. Previous studies noted that the Generation Y often conducted unplanned shopping while hanging out in the malls. With the new normal in-store shopping opportunity, it is expected that shopping enjoyment will stimulate the urge to buy impulsively among the Generation Y. As this is a quantitative research, the data are collected using questionnaires which are distributed to 300 respondents. The questionnaire gathers data on shopping enjoyment, impulse buying tendency, in-store browsing, and impulse buying from the Generation Y. Then, the data are processed with a smart PLS software to obtain the validity and reliability tests, and to prove the hypothesis test. The results show that shopping enjoyment and impulse buying tendency have a positive significant impact on in-store browsing, and in-store browsing has a positive significant impact on impulse buying. However, the variable of shopping enjoyment brings more impact to impulse buying than the variable of impulse buying tendency.

The consumer price index (CPI) is one of the significant indicators that can be used to track the inflation rate of a country and assess changes in the cost of living. Generally, the CPI measures the change in the average price of goods and services used by households. The increase in inflation can have a negative socioeconomic effects and the changes in the CPI value needs to be monitored to ensure that the country does not experience a serious inflation rate. In this work, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed to interpret the importance of each variable in the CPI and determine how the latent factors influence the CPI structure in Malaysia for the period of 2003–2022. The findings showed that there are two main latent factors that can be formed. Factor 1 can be classified as ‘Household Expenditures and Lifestyle Choices’ and consists of six variables, namely, ‘alcoholic beverages and tobacco’, ‘housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels’, ‘decoration, hardware, and household maintenance’, ‘health’, ‘recreational and cultural services’, and ‘education’. In contrast, Factor 2 can be classified as ‘Daily Necessities and Lifestyle Convenience’ which consists of six variables, namely, ‘food and non-alcoholic beverages’, ‘clothing and shoes’, ‘transportation’, ‘communication’, ‘restaurants and hotels’, and ‘various goods and services’. In addition, the results of our analysis showed that Factor 1 is more dominant in influencing the CPI structure in Malaysia.

A recent survey of epidemiological studies lists ankle injuries as one common sport injury. However, the details of the injury mechanisms of ankle sprains — the majority of ankle injuries — remain not well understood. The purpose of the presented study is twofold. The first aim is to introduce a new, widely applicable method to calculate ankle joint torques during movement using inverse dynamics. The subtalar and talocrural joint are modeled as anatomically based revolute joints. The kinematics of the lower extremities and ground reaction force are used as input data. Second, a comparison of two calculation approaches (dynamic versus static) is reported, aimed at verifying and simplifying the introduced method to have a more convenient tool at hand for applications in the field. For one first movement measurement (hopping), the calculated joint torques show a good match for the two calculation approaches. After further application, the evaluation of the resulting joint torques will provide further insights into the joint mechanics and can contribute to a better understanding of the respective injury mechanisms. Hence, this approach is interesting for researchers to be used in order to understand ankle injuries and to determine the influence of landing grounds and shoes on ankle joint torques.

Full textAbstract:
The article publishes a mortuary complex of the late 3rd – early 4th centuries AD of the early stage of the North Caucasian Alan culture from kurgan 23 of the Oktyabrskiy I burial field in the Republic of North Ossetia –Alania, which contained a pair of bone skates. Bone skates have been known from written iconographic and ethnographic sources since the 12th century until the first half of the 20th century; however, the attribution of these items as skates raises doubts among a number of researchers, most likely due to the fact that almost all such artifacts, along with other similar bone items (tools), were found in the material remains of settlement sites. The researchers’ doubts resulted in a discussion, the main aspects of which are specified in the paper. The skates being published are made from the hind metapodia of the right legs of two domestic horses. Each of the artifacts has two holes for strings to attach the skates to the shoes. The skates are part of the grave goods of a young man or a youth, along with other leisure items (astragals) of young people. Finds of bone skates in burials are few in number, and, apart from the North Caucasian finds, there are only four Viking Age complexes in Swedish burial grounds. Bone skates were not a regular part of grave goods for centuries among any of the peoples, as evidenced by the insignificant number of burials with skates. Most researchers are convinced that bone skates were mainly used for entertainment by children, teenagers, and young people, which, in our opinion, is consistent with the material remains from kurgan 23 of the Oktyabrskiy I burial field. The grave goods also included a set of astragals (48 examples) associated with leisure items.

Full textAbstract:
A ballistic walking gait is designed for a planar biped equipped with a wearable walking assist device. The biped is a seven-link planar biped with two legs, two feet, and a trunk. The wearable walking assist device is composed of a bodyweight support, two upper legs, two lower legs, and two shoes. The dynamic model of the biped with its walking assist device, containing two closed kinematic chains, is calculated by virtually cutting each of both loops at one of their point. In the single support phase, the biped with its assist device moves due to the existence of a momentum, produced mechanically, without applying active torques in the inter-link joints. The biped and this assist device are controlled with impulsive torques at the instantaneous double support to obtain a cyclic gait. The impulsive torques are applied in the six inter-link joints of the biped and in several inter-link joints of the wearable walking assist device. The following distributions of impulsive torques, in the knees or the ankles, hips and knees, hips and ankles, or knees and ankles and the fully assist device, are compared with the case of no assistance for the biped. Each time, an infinity of solutions exists to find the impulsive torques. An energy cost functional defined from these impulsive torques is minimized to determine a unique solution. Numerical results show that for a given time period and a given length of the walking gait step, the assistance of the hips is a good compromise to help the biped.

The new Fish-bones Completion & Stimulation approach by needles in the pay stack aims at addressing heterogeneous tight carbonate by increasing flow area in the lower permeable streaks, which is efficient as hundreds of tunnels drain connecting the borewell to the body of the reservoir to increase well productivity and oil recovery. The initial plan includes selecting the best ones from Stair step horizontal well, Dual Lateral well, five lateral fish-bone drilling, and horizontal drilling along with hydraulic fracture. Considering the lessons of failure to clean internal tubes, the modified 4-1/2” Liner is installed in the lower two sub-layer by jetting subs combing with production subs for matrix acidizing in the upper one sub-layer as per modified Fish-bones Completion Design. In addition, special acid-releasing float shoes and new fishing baskets are applied to avoid those previous problems with this well technique. The candidate well shows good oil test and production, which improved by three times at 2000bbl/d with respect to the initial plan in the B field. This paper describes the technology background and characteristics, design factors, modified design, execution, well test, and lessons learned during implementation.

The rapid development of the disease, the complexity of diagnosis and the prevalence among young patients leads to impaired hip joint function and further disability. To improve the quality of life of patients, the Orthopedic Department of the Traumatology Center of Khabarovsk developed a method of minimally invasive two-stage decompression. Surgical treatment was performed in 30 cases in patients with ANFH of stages 0, 1, 2 (by ARCO). Evaluation of treatment results was carried out before operative treatment, after 6 and 12 months. 12 months after surgical treatment, positive dynamics was noted, namely, pain reduction, a walking distance increase, abandonment of crutches, opportunity to use public transport, ability to sit for a long time in one and the same position, to put on shoes, and the abandonment of constant intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The assessment of hip joint function in 20% of cases showed an excellent result, in 26,6% of cases — a good result, in 40% — satisfactory, and in 13,3% (4 people) — unsatisfactory result, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed treatment method and the feasibility of its use.

Retail firms are the best representatives of a developed country’s economic condition because they sell many of the necessary goods used for daily consumption, including food, clothes, shoes, electric appliances, and office supplies. This study presents a novel framework to help retail practitioners achieve the following goals: (1) predict sales revenues by identifying significant economic indicators, (2) estimate stable equilibriums by capturing interactive dynamics between competing firms, and (3) derive operational efficiencies and indicate required improvements by conducting performance assessments. To verify the validity of the research, data pertaining to Walmart, Costco, and Kroger are collected. Specifically, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) is adopted in order to identify significant economic indicators. Consumer price index and regular wage are two common indicators that affect the the three firms’ sales numbers. In sales forecasting, support vector regression (SVR) and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), respectively, perform the best in the training set and the testing set. Finally, the Lotka–Volterra model (LVM) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) are used for competitive analysis and performance assessment. A relationship of economic mutualism has been identified between the three firms. Furthermore, research findings show that Kroger performs inefficiently, though it can expect to increase sales more than the others in stable equilibriums.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Congenital distal tibiofibular diastasis is an extremely rare entity of unknown etiology that compromises the feet and ankles with different degrees of deformity, although in general, the feet show equinovarus deformity, and the talus is proximally dislocated due to the separation of the distal tibial and fibular epiphyses. There are few reports of this disorder in the literature, and most describe cases that ultimately lead to limb amputation. We present the cases of 2 patients treated from birth to skeletal maturity. Methods: Two female patients with clubfoot at birth were diagnosed with congenital distal tibiofibular diastasis. One of them had the deformity of the right foot, and the other had deformity of both limbs. Both patients underwent early distal tibiofibular arthrodesis and serial stretching of the compromised feet and legs. Results: After 20 years of clinical follow-up and after reaching skeletal maturity, both patients had plantigrade feet without significant shortening of the lower limbs or pain, and both performed activities of daily living without restrictions, wearing conventional shoes. Conclusion: Early distal tibiofibular arthrodesis followed by limb stretching was effective for treating congenital distal tibiofibular diastasis and is a good alternative to amputation, which is indicated in the literature.

The incoming President reviews his career which has primarily been in the development of shoemaking machinery and materials with British United Shoe Machinery Limited, subsequently USM Texon Limited, and also in the automobile components industry with Rearsby Automotive Limited. He focuses on the process of using teamwork in achieving successes in these businesses and describes two recent successes in highly sophisticated shoemaking machinery—a family of computer-controlled machines used in the process of bonding soles to shoes and an automatic stitching machine using an integrated vision system to identify and locate workpieces. He reflects on his involvement in the Institution running almost continuously from student membership to his election as the youngest President for 100 years and recommends active involvement as a good contributor to personal and professional development, especially for younger engineers. At a time when the new relationship within the engineering profession is being crystallized, Mr Price discusses the opportunities and challenges for the profession in the light of the ongoing need for strengthening of engineering and manufacturing in the United Kingdom. He concludes that progress has to be achieved by effective teamworking, both within the Institution, with other engineering institutions, with government and with other key organizations in the wider community.

Full textAbstract:
The soft tissue cover in the calcaneal region represents one of the great problems in the reconstructive surgery. The distant skin, muscle and musculocutaneous flaps are subjected to ulcers even with the orthopedic shoes. The island fasciocutaneus mid sole neurocutaneous flap can be a good substitute for the soft tissue cover due to its anatomic structure. The flap has the required dimensions, sticks well to the bone and the movements and mobility of the patient is unrestricted. This paper analyses the sensitivity of the transposed flap and the sole distal to the secondary defect observed in 30 patients. The evaluation was made after tactile tests, two-point discrimination test, the warm-cold test, the electrostatus of medial plantar nerve (MPN), and the ninhydrin test. All the tests, including the electrostatus MPN, done after 3 weeks and 3 months after the surgery, showed successful recovery of sensitivity in the transposed medial plantar flap. The results monitored after three months showed that the speed of the neural conduction recovery was 70% of normal neural reaction speed of the MPN. The modified operative techniques provide safe dissection of the plantar nerve with minimal neuropraxia. The postoperative recovery of sensitivity was more rapid, and without loss of sensitivity on the sole.

High-performance pressure sensors provide the necessary conditions for smart shoe applications. In this paper, the elastic Macroporous Graphene Aerogel (MGA) was synthesized via the modified Hummers’ method, and it was further combined with Expanded-Thermoplastic polyurethane (ETPU) particles to assemble MGA-ETPU flexible sensors. The MGA-ETPU has a low apparent density (3.02 mg/cm3), high conductivity (0.024 S/cm) and fast response time (50 ms). The MGA-ETPU has a large linear sensing range (0–10 kPa) and consists of two linear regions: the low-pressure region (0 to 8 kPa) and the high-pressure region (8 to 10 kPa), with sensitivities of 0.08 kPa−1, and 0.246 kPa−1, respectively. Mechanical test results show that the MGA-ETPU sensor showed 19% reduction in maximum stress after 400 loading–unloading compression cycles at 40% strain. Electrical performance tests showed that the resistance of MGA-ETPU sensor decreased by 12.5% when subjected to sudden compression at 82% strain and returned to its original state within 0.05 s. Compared to existing flexible sensors, the MGA-ETPU sensors offer excellent performance and several distinct advantages, including ease of fabrication, high sensitivity, fast response time, and good flexibility. These remarkable features make them ideally suited as flexible pressure sensors for smart shoes.
