Haas-Molnar Continued Fractions and Metric Diophantine Approximation.
No full textHaas–Molnar maps are a family of maps of the unit interval introduced by A. Haas and D. Molnar. They include the regular continued fraction map and A. Renyi’s backward continued fraction map as important special cases. As shown by Haas and Molnar, it is possible to extend the theory of metric diophantine approximation, already well developed for the Gauss continued fraction map, to the class of Haas–Molnar maps. In particular, for a real number x, if (p n /q n )n≥1 denotes its sequence of regular continued fraction convergents, set θ n (x) = q 2n|x − p n /q n |, n = 1, 2.... The metric behaviour of the Cesàro averages of the sequence (θ n (x))n≥1 has been studied by a number of authors. Haas and Molnar have extended this study to the analogues of the sequence (θ n (x))n≥1 for the Haas–Molnar family of continued fraction expansions. In this paper we extend the study of n≥1 for certain sequences (k n )n≥1, initiated by the second named author, to Haas–Molnar maps

Hybrid automata dicretising agents for formal modelling of robots
No full textSome of the fundamental capabilities required by autonomous vehicles and systems for their intelligent decision making are: modelling of the environment and forming data abstractions for symbolic, logic based reasoning. The paper formulates a discrete agent framework that abstracts and controls a hybrid system that is a composition of hybrid automata modelled continuous individual processes. Theoretical foundations are laid down for a class of general model composition agents (MCAs) with an advanced subclass of rational physical agents (RPAs). We define MCAs as the most basic structures for the description of complex autonomous robotic systems. The RPA’s have logic based decision making that is obtained by an extension of the hybrid systems concepts using a set of abstractions. The theory presented helps the creation of robots with reliable performance and safe operation in their environment. The paper emphasizes the abstraction aspects of the overall hybrid system that emerges from parallel composition of sets of RPAs and MCAs

Fiji's Women Rugby Players: Finding Motivation in a ‘Hostile’ Environment
No full textIn the Pacific island country of Fiji, where men’s rugby union enjoys immense popularity as a ‘national’ sport and a pinnacle of indigenous masculinity, a small community of women have actively pursued the game since the late 1980s. Until recently, they received little institutional or public support, and faced negative social sanctions for playing the hyper-masculine sport. But the Fijiana, the women’s national team, have made remarkable accomplishments in the last few years, including their qualification, along with only 11 other countries in the world, for the 2016 Summer Olympics. These achievements have significantly increased institutional and public support, although club registration remains low and limited resources (compared to those available to men’s rugby) are allocated to the development of women’s rugby. Given both the historical challenges and the remarkable recent achievements of Fijian women rugby players, this chapter, based on a mixed-method study consisting of a questionnaire survey (n = 70) and focus group discussions (n = 12), explores their motivations for playing rugby and continued involvement in the game against adversities as well as the key obstacle

The impact of socioeconomic status on psysical activity of children in early adolescence
No full textNamen raziskave je bilo ugotoviti, povezanost izobrazbe očeta s športno dejavnostjo otrok v obdobju zgodnje adolescence. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 344 otrok iz severovzhodne Slovenije, starih od 9 do 11 let. Od tega je bilo 154 deklic, starih 10,4 leta (SO = 0,914) in 190 dečkov, starih 10,35 leta (SO = 0,945) Podatki, so bili pridobljeni v okviru projekta z naslovom »SODOBNI TRENDI TELESNEGA, GIBALNEGA IN OSEBNOSTNEGA RAZVOJA SLOVENSKIH OSNOVNOŠOLCEV – SOCIALNI STATUS IN ŽIVLJENJSKI SLOG STA POMEMBNA DEJAVNIKA OTROKOVEGA RAZVOJA«. Podatki o socialnem položaju družine so bili pridobljeni s pomočjo »Vprašalnika o socialnem položaju družine«. Vprašalnik, uporabljen v okviru te raziskave, za meritve športne dejavnosti, je vprašalnik »Gibalna dejavnost mladih«, ki je bil uporabljen v številnih slovenskih študijah. Starši anketirancev so bili z anketo seznanjeni in so z njo soglašali. Na osnovi izobrazbe očeta, smo otroke razdelili v skupine, katerih očetje imajo nizko, srednjo in visoko izobrazbo. Za ugotavljanje povezanosti športne dejavnosti s socialnim položajem je bila uporabljena analiza variance (ANOVA) in izračun velikosti učinka (η2). Statistično značilnost smo ugotavljali na ravni tveganja 0,05 (p ≤ 0,05).
Rezultati so pokazali, da izobrazba očeta statistično značilno vpliva na število minut na dan, ki jih dečki namenijo športni dejavnosti, ne pa tudi na športno dejavnost deklic. Dečki očetov s srednjo izobrazbo so na dan športno dejavni 92 minut, le 4 minute manj so športno dejavni dečki očetov z visoko izobrazbo. 60 minut na dan, pa športni dejavnosti namenijo dečki očetov z nizko izobrazbo. Pri deklicah so najbolj športno dejavne tiste, katerih očetje imajo visoko izobrazbo, te namenijo športni dejavnosti 64 minut. 11 minut manj športni dejavnosti na dan namenijo deklice iz skupine očetov s srednjo izobrazbo, 48 minut na dan pa so dejavne deklice iz skupine očetov z nizko izobrazbo.The purpose of the research was to establish connection of patriarch education and physical activity of children in early adolescence. 344 children from the northeast of Slovenia participated in the research. They were all from 9 to 11 years old. There were 154 girls, aged 10.4 years (SO=0,914) and 190 boys, aged 10.35 years (SO=0.945). Data was obtained within project called: The Modern Trends of Physical, Motor and Personal Development of Slovene Primary School Students – Socioeconomic Status and Lifestyle are Important Factors of Child’s Development. The data of socioeconomic status were obtained with a “Questionnaire about Family’s Socioeconomic Status”. The questionnaire for measuring physical activity, used in this research, was “Motor Activity of Young People”, which has been used in several Slovene studies. The respondents’ parents were familiar with the survey and agreed with it. According to fathers, we divided children in three groupsthose which father has low, average or high education. We used analysis of variance (ANOVA) and effect size calculator (η2) to establish the connection between physical activity and socioeconomic status. Static characteristic was established at risk level 0.05 (p≤0.05).
The results showed that fathers’ education statistically impacts on the number of minutes boys are physically active, but not on the number of minutes girls are physically active. Boys of fathers with average education are physically active for 92 minutes a day, only 4 minutes less are physically active boys of fathers with high education. Boys of fathers with low education are physically active for 60 minutes a day. The most physically active girls are those whose patriarch has high education. They are physically active for 64 minutes a day. Girls whose patriarch has average education are physically active 11 minutes less and girls whose patriarch has low education are physically active for 48 minutes a day
