Training Specialists

Одним из современных инструментов организации процесса обучения специалистов является использование виртуальных тренажерных комплексов, позволяющих смоделировать штатные и аварийные сценарии профессиональной деятельности и выработать необходимые компетенции у обучающихся. Существующие подходы к взаимодействию с виртуальной реальностью в рамках тренажерных комплексов основаны на использовании различного рода контроллеров, что негативно сказывается на иммерсивности процесса обучения. Контроллеры также не позволяют смоделировать физическую нагрузку, возникающую при ходьбе или беге при подготовке специалистов в ряде областей (МЧС, военная отрасль, горнодобывающая промышленность и другие). Для решения этой задачи необходимо использование различных беговых платформ. В рамках исследования выявлены определенные проблемы существующих подходов к взаимодействию с виртуальной реальностью посредством беговой платформы. Для их решения предлагается разработка новых методов управления платформой. В работе рассмотрено несколько алгоритмов управления платформой: линейный, нелинейный и нелинейный модифицированный. Представлено математическое описание алгоритмов и проведены экспериментальные исследования, позволяющие выбрать оптимальный алгоритм управления в соответствии с набором определенных метрик. Использование разработанного алгоритма управления позволит улучшить качество взаимодействия обучающего с виртуальной реальностью на беговой платформе. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при организации процесса обучения специалистов с применением систем виртуальной реальности One of the modern tools for organizing the training process for specialists is the use of virtual training complexes, which make it possible to simulate regular and emergency scenarios of professional activity and develop the necessary competencies for students. Existing approaches to interacting with virtual reality within the framework of training complexes are based on the use of various kinds of controllers, which negatively affects the immersiveness of the learning process. The controllers also do not allow simulating the physical activity that occurs when walking or running, which is necessary when training specialists in a number of areas (Ministry of Emergency Situations, the military industry, the mining industry, and others). To solve this problem, it is necessary to use different running platforms. The study identified certain problems of existing approaches to interacting with virtual reality through a running platform. To solve them, we propose to develop new methods of platform management. The paper considers several algorithms for platform control: linear, nonlinear and nonlinear modified. We present a mathematical description of the algorithms, we carried out experimental studies, which make it possible to choose the optimal control algorithm in accordance with a set of certain metrics. The use of the developed control algorithm will improve the quality of the teacher's interaction when interacting with virtual reality on the running platform. The results obtained can be used in organizing the process of training specialists using virtual reality systems

Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) has seen explosive growth over the last decade. Immersive VR attempts to give users the sensation of being fully immersed in a synthetic environment by providing them with 3D hardware, and allowing them to interact with objects in virtual worlds. The technology is extremely effective for learning and exploration, and has been widely adopted by the military, industry and academia. This current study set out to study the effectiveness of 3D interactive environments on learning, engagement, and preference. A total of 180 students took part in the study where significant results were found regarding preference for this new technology over standard educational practices. Students were more motivated when using the immersive environment than with traditional methods which may translate into greater learning and retention. Larger studies will need to be performed in order to quantify the benefits of this new, cutting edge technology, as it relates to understanding and retention of educational content.

Abstract Over the past decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have received increasing attention and are being used in the areas of harvesting, videotaping, and the military industry. In this article, the consideration is focused on areas where video recording is required for ground inspections. This paper describes modern communication technologies and systems that enable interaction and data exchange between UAVs and a ground control station (GCS). This article focuses on different architectures of communication systems, establishing the characteristics of each to identify the preferred architecture that does not require a significant consumption of resources and whose data transmission is reliable. A coherent architecture that includes multiple UAVs, wireless sensor networks, cellular networks, GCSs, and satellite network to duplicate communications for enhanced system security has been offered. Some reliability problems have been discussed, the solution of which was suggested to be a backup connection via satellite, i.e., a second connection. This study focused not only on the communication channels but also on the data exchanged between system components, indicating the purpose of their application. Some of the communication problems and shortcomings of various systems, as well as further focus areas and improvement recommendations were discussed.

A few months after the fascist Germany’s attack on the USSR, under harsh wartime conditions, at the end of 1941 military industry of the Soviet Union began to produce such a quantity of military equipment that subsequently was providing not only replenishment of losses, but also improvement of technical equipment of the Red Army forces . Successful production of military equipment during World War II became one of the main factors in the victory over fascism. One of the unlit pages in affairs of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) is displacement and evacuation of a huge number of enterprises and people to the east, beyond the Urals, which were occupied by German troops at the beginning of the war in the summer of 1941. All this was done according to the plans developed with direct participation of NKVD, which united before the beginning and during the war departments now called the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, SVR, the Russian Guard, Ministry of Emergency Situations, FAPSI and several smaller ones. And all these NKVD structures during the war were headed by Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria.

Objectives: Racism and discrimination drive racial and ethnic health disparities, and are robust markers for a host of health outcomes in People of Color and Indigenous Peoples (POCI). A comprehensive understanding of possible causal pathways by which racism and discrimination lead to POCI’s health disadvantages is a critical step toward reducing disparities and promoting health equity. Experimental methods can help researchers delineate these causal pathways. In this manuscript, we illustrate how virtual reality (VR) can be used by researchers in experimental studies to advance discrimination science. Method: We summarize current findings on health effects of discrimination. We describe common methodological approaches that have been employed in discrimination science and discuss some of their limitations. Arguments for the potential benefits of using VR to advance discrimination science are provided. Results: VR has the potential to facilitate ecologically valid experiments that examine individuals’ responses to racism and discrimination-related experiences in real-time. Conclusions: VR offers scientists an innovative method that can be used in experimental studies to help delineate how racism and discrimination might lead to health problems in POCI. Still, VR is new to discrimination science; thus, research is necessary to empirically delineate advantages and possible disadvantages of using VR in studies on discrimination.

Military Production

The paper deals with the history of the Olonets metal works – one of the centres of military industry in pre-revolutionary Russia. It aimed to analyse the views of Russian researchers on the problems of military production at these plants and their role in providing the army and navy with weapons in the 18th – еarly 20th centuries. The works of the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods were studied. The relevance of this research is substantiated by the need for an in-depth examination of such a phenomenon in Russian history as the military-industrial complex and its prototype represented by the military industry of pre-revolutionary Russia. The article is focused on the way Russian historiography presents the organization of military production at the Olonets metal works, their technical reconstruction in order to master the production of brand new types of weapons, as well as the role of foreign specialists and foreign technical, technological and organizational experience in this process. The study revealed some important features of the Olonets metal works operation: the use of the economy’s mobilization mechanisms for their creation, their role as a transmitter of military production experience to other Russian regions, the influence of non-economic factors on the existence of military industry enterprises, as well as the effect and significance of diffusion of innovations in military industry. It is concluded that the final period in the history of the Olonets metal works (late 19th – early 20th centuries) is poorly reflected in Russian historiography. In addition, the research points out the need for a comprehensive work on the history of military production at the Olonets metal works in general.

Experimental And Theoretical Studies

The relevance of experimental and theoretical studies of the work of the foundation-foundation system in sudden burdens is justified. It was established that sudden loads can occur both in emergency situations and in the course of normal operation. The main criterion of sudden loading is the rate of additional or main (operational) loading, which is higher than the rate of stress redistribution in the base. In order to identify the main features of the foundation-foundation system and plan further studies, the results of preliminary experiments of the interaction of foundations with the soil base during sudden loads were analyzed. The accepted method of experimental research is described, the characteristics of the models of foundations and the power system used for testing are given. Some features of "foundation-soil" system operation in case of sudden loading are defined. Based on the conducted experiments, the need for further study of the foundation-foundation system in case of sudden loading was substantiated and the experiments were planned.
