The Black Woman Quilombola in Brazil

In this work, we took the Quilombola Community SÃtio de Lagoinha, from the SertÃ£o do SÃ£o Francisco Territory, as the space for this research, the only quilombola community certified by the Palmares Cultural Foundation in the municipality of Casa Nova, located in the north of the state of Bahia, 100 km from the municipality of Juazeiro and 600 kilometers from Salvador. The research is of a qualitative nature, in a necessary process and, in some aspects, of continuity of a work carried out between the years 2013 and 2020, in the communities of Juazeiro da Bahia, in the exercise of the public function in front of the Directorate of Diversity, sector of the Municipal Government of Juazeiro (BA), responsible for ethnic-racial relations, administratively linked to the Secretariat for Social Development, Women and Diversity.

Quilombo Communities: Historical and Legal Aspects

Faced with the numerous social and political struggles that take place in the Brazilian scenario, the recognition and guarantee of the rights of quilombola communities emerges as one of these necessary guidelines for the country. The present work therefore discusses legal and political aspects of these struggles, based on the interdisciplinary work of postgraduate programs in the SÃ£o Francisco Valley.In the development of the research, in the bibliographic review process, it is possible to find significant scientific production, in research carried out in communities of the SertÃ£o do SÃ£o Francisco Territory (TSSF), where the concepts and realities that subsidize us to understand the quilombo in the territorial context were worked. .

Central Nervous System Infection by SARS-CoV-2 and Neuropsychiatric Consequences Related to Disease Caused by the Virus: A Review

The COVID-19 virus infects the body, preferably by inhalation, reaching the Central Nervous System through the olfactory pathways, characterizing a primary infection. The Central Nervous System (CNS) can also be affected when the virus spreads hematogenously and crosses the blood-brain barrier. The brain tissue damage caused by the pathogen can occur directly, with the injury caused by the direct contact of the virus with neuronal cells, or indirectly, through the activation of inflammatory and thrombotic pathways due to the entry of the pathogen into the body. Endothelial dysfunction is potential for brain complications and can have neuropsychiatric consequences, both during the course of the disease and after its remission. The objective of the present literature review was to associate Central Nervous System Infection by SARS-CoV-2 with possible neuropsychiatric consequences caused by the pathological process caused by the virus. In addition to the organic factor involved, such consequences may also be related to psychosomatic processes, involving post-traumatic stress, fear and grief of individuals when facing these issues during the pandemic.

Isabele Tavares de Andrade Ribeiro

The present work discusses the mountable architecture, as it can also be called, is conceived with the purpose of contemplating the temporary needs of people or social groups, although it can also leave its mark on the environment in which it is contextualized. In this sense, we make a historical contextualization about this process, as well as evaluate the benefits of using it currently in architecture.

The Social Role of Flexible Architecture

Isabele Tavares de Andrade Ribeiro

The present work focused on case studies about flexible architecture. As case studies, trailers and ephemeral structures of different profiles and applications were analyzed. Throughout the study, it is demonstrated that flexible structures can be solutions that are inserted as alternatives to the reality of homeless people and, thus, flexible architecture can have as a focus on shelter, whether for people in a state of vulnerability on the streets or to care for the homeless after natural disasters, which are increasingly frequent in different parts of the world, including Brazil.

Traveling Architecture as a Bridge to Creative Entrepreneurship: The Gambiarra Case

Isabele Tavares de Andrade Ribeiro

Impact of seawater and canopy cover on the phyllosphere bacterial community of Rhizophora mucronata leaves

The plant-microorganism interaction is a well-studied topic in the world of science due to the sustainable management of the ecosystems. The phyllosphere remains the habitat of some microorganisms where several interactions take place. In order to assess whether the mangrove leaves can harbor a bacterial population and analyze the abundance in these leaves microbiotas, leaf samples of mangroves species (Rhizophora mucronata) were collected in the mangroves of Ouroveni in East-Mbandjini, Grande-Comoros. Through the 16S rRNA genes sequencing, the results showed that in the different experimental group, 105303, 110873, 124703, 146954 and 112225 OTUs were identified respectively, where the canopy was open (C1), semi-open (C2), completely closed (C3), and where the plants are submerged (S) and non-submerged (NS) in seawater. The identified OTUs was positively correlated with leaves-wax (p < 0.05, r2 = 0.91), nitrogen (r2 = 0.72), phosphorus content (r2 = 0.62) and the factor â€œseawaterâ€ (r2 = 0.93). It was however highly and negatively correlated with the canopy cover (r2 = 0.93). Considering the factor "seawater", the relative abundance of bacteria in the submerged leaves was significantly higher compared to that from the non-submerged plants. By taking into account the factor â€œcanopy coverâ€, it was revealed that more the canopy cover was open, the less was the relative abundance of bacteria. Thus, the finding of this present study affirm that the leaves of mangroves can be a major habitat to host a large population of bacteria that can be influenced by local abiotic factor.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Effect on the phyllosphere bacterial community of Gliricidia sepium leaves

Plants and microorganisms can coexist in such a way that each of these two heterospecific organisms benefit from this association. In the environment of plants there are several habitats of bacteria among them the phyllosphere which is the aerial part of the plant. The phyllosphere can be influenced by several factors including hydrocarbons. Thus, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been used to assess their influence on the phyllosphere microorganisms of the leaves of Gliricidia sepium. The results showed that the atmospheric concentrations of PAHs are rather high in rural areas. The spatial patterns of atmospheric concentrations of PAHs showed higher concentrations of naphthalene in the two experimental group due to the high road traffic. In the different experimental groups, 93626 and 96954 OTUs were identified in the leaves collected on the road (SR) and out of the road (SH), respectively. In this present study, the leaves harvested on the road which are more exposed to PAHs present a strongly elevated relative abundance of Actinobacteria and Bacilli. It can therefore easily deduce that these bacteria could have developed a kind of resistance to these road PAHs. On the other hand, bacteria belonging to the Alphaproteobacteria class are significantly less represented in this rural area.

Strawberries of hope: food security and strawberry production in times of pandemic sacity

The Covid-19 pandemic devastated thousands of lives, causing a health and socioeconomic crisis, with direct effects on increasing poverty and hunger. However, these aspects are rarely associated with semi-hydroponic fruit production and its role in food security. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to identify a successful case of food production in family farming in a small municipality called Diamante do Sul, located in the state of ParanÃ¡, Brazil, which has one of the worst Municipal Human Development Indexes of the state. This article was based on a case study. The data were collected from non-participant observation and a semi-structured interview, applied to a farmer selected by convenience. We verified that the technological innovation of semi-hydroponics represents an excellent alternative for the production of strawberry fruit, in quantity and quality. This production system, implemented through the access to rural credit, besides the fast return on investment, acts in the generation of income for the family and the strengthening of their productive autonomy. Thus, the production of strawberries in times of pandemic famine has an influence on food security and the movement of the local economy, since production occurs throughout the year.

Bacterial population of Rhizospheres and non-Rhizospheres of the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata from 0 to 10 cm deep

The interaction of plants and microorganisms in the rhizospheres and non-rhizospheres of plants is well studied and mastered in the terrestrial environment. In general, given the rhizosphere effect exclusively defining the effectiveness of root exudates to promote multiplication, development and microbial growth in the rhizosphere zones, studies unanimously tend to report that the microbial biomass is rather high in the rhizosphere than in the non-rhizosphere. However, the trend may change in the marine environment. This study was conducted in both the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere of the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata at different depths ranging from 0-10 cm, to assess the bacterial community in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere and to also address the profile of bacterial community changes. The result showed no difference regarding the bacterial abundance in the rhizosphere and in the non-rhizosphere. However, the abundance of bacteria at 0-5 cm depth was significantly higher in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere. This could be attributed to the large amount of nutrients available in the surface layer. The unequal distribution of nutrients in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere of the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata could be the consequences of mineralization, immobilization of nutrients in the soil and especially root exudation. The general results of this study can be summarized by showing that if the abundance of bacteria in the rhizosphere zones of terrestrial plants is often high, the trend may be different in aquatic plants, more particularly mangroves, which constitute a separate ecosystem.

A brief account of the 2030 agenda and its implications for Brazil and the Amazon Region in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

Simone Bessa de Almeida, Edson Pablo da Silva

The 2030 Agenda prepared by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) broken down into 169 goals and 231 indicators to be implemented by 2030, among them, we highlight the goal Sustainable Development Goal 6: which deals with Water and sanitation for all and aims to achieve universal access to water services and collection and treatment of sewage by 2030 and the objective of this article was to highlight the challenges for the fulfillment of this goal, highlighting the indicatives 6. 1 and 6.2 with a focus on Brazil and Amazonas. The information related to the situation of SDG 6 in the Amazon region is presented and compared with the national realities or other regions of Brazil. To achieve the results, the information National Water and Basic Sanitation Agency (ANA), National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Institute of Applied Economic Research (Ipea) and National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) were analyzed in the period from 2016 to 2020, with scientific research methods with qualitative and quantitative data that examine the performance of Sustainable Development Goal 6. It was possible to identify that it is necessary to invest in water infrastructure in projects to alleviate the lack of sewage treatment that bothers Amazonian citizens. And the conclusion was that the participation and knowledge of different areas in integrated water management increases the likelihood of achieving the goals of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG) by 2030, because the sustainable development of the country is linked to its population

Eucalyptus growth and initial productivity in response to different sources of boron

JosÃ© Geraldo Mageste, Vitor Augusto Cordeiro Milagres, TÃ¢nia Marta DurÃ£es

Boron (B) deficiency in forest production systems has been reported in several eucalyptus species. The low biochemical cycling of B and the leaching losses justify the need for effort to get the fertilization of this nutrient right. In this context, the efficiency of three sources of boron with different solubilities was evaluated in a dystrophic Red Latosol, with a sandy loam texture, in eucalyptus crops at juvenile age. Ulexite (10% boron), boric acid (17,2%), and sodium tetraborate (15%) were evaluated, providing 800 g ha-1 of B. For comparison, a control without boron was used, totaling four treatments in a randomized block design. To evaluate growth and productivity, total height (Ht) and diameter at breast height (DBH) were analyzed at 12 months, in addition to analysis of plant tissue at the end of this period. There was an influence of borate fertilization on the initial growth of eucalyptus (Clone I 144). Although there was no interaction between the sources of boron in the development of the initial dendrometric attributes, there was variation between the sources in relation to the concentration of boron in the plant tissue.

Handling of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) in Neonatal ICU

This study has as research line Nursing Education and predominant area Nursing in Child and Adolescent Health Care. Where we will address as a theme the complications related to the handling of the picc catheter (peripherally inserted central catheter) in the NEONATAL ICU. The object of the study is the Iatrogenies related to the management of PICC in UTINEO. The interest in researching the subject arose after a technical visit made in a hospital unit of the public network in the ICUNEO sector, where it was observed the use of the catheter and its implementation, being carried out by the nurse at the bedside, a fact that motivated us to carry out the study, since it brings great benefits to neonates. Qor being an invasive procedure does the correct manipulation if necessary to avoid contamination, which caused us to question whether complications in handling the PICC catheter can be avoided? Through this questioning we are ready to conduct a research that aims to identify the main complications that cause the interruption of treatment in neonates. Metodologically is a quantitative research, where the exploratory-descriptive method of bibliographic typology was used. Conclusion Given what was exposed and explored during the research trajectory, we realized that it is necessary to invest in training and continuing education programs, as well as establishment of protocols and care that allow better monitoring of the occurrence of complications related to the insertion and handling of PICC.

Emotional Education from the Perspective of care for Yourself

We seek to present the development of education from theoretical reflections on emotional education from the perspective of taking care of oneself, in contemporary times. We discuss the conception of some authors and their contributions to the promotion of an education that contemplates the integrality of the students. At the end of this study, we infer that promoting an educational process based on emotional education requires that the various actors participating in this process are open to breaking historically consolidated paradigms, focusing on student learning, creating environments that favor the development of socio-emotional skills, for through meaningful connections between what is learned and the social/world context in which they live. We understand, therefore, that there is a possibility of a synergy between education and emotional development, from a teaching-learning process where students and teachers are engaged in an emancipatory education proposal.

Pedagogical models focused on the integration of ICT in basic education: A systematic review

A pedagogical model is a system of theoretical premises that organize a curricular approach, being incorporated into teaching practice and the interactions between teacher, student, and learning object. In teaching practice, their interaction with students should be based on activities that seek to contextualize with reality. On the other hand, pedagogical practices, based on the implementation of Digital Information and Communication Technologies, improve the performance of teachers who develop skills to plan modern and technology-integrated learning processes. This article presents a systematic review of works published in the period 2018-2022 that dealt with the use of pedagogical models based on the integration of TDIC in basic education. From the 10 works identified, it was possible to conclude that a pedagogical model must use the technological approach to meet the needs of the teacher and their students. The research contributed to finding the main and most recent studies on the subject. In this way, the article serves as a summary of publications on pedagogical models in TDIC carried out in the period 2018-2022.

(Solinaceae), all presented significant in vitro inhibition (more active than quinine and chloroquine) of the multi-drug resistant K1 strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Neosergeolide presented activity in the nanomolar range. These compounds are good for pre-clinical tests as novel lead structures with the aim of finding new antimalarial prototypes and provide support to the traditional use of the plants.

Application of PCA-CNN (Principal Component Analysis â€“ Convolutional Neural Networks) Method on Sentinel-2 Image Classification for Land Cover Mapping

Ahmad Rizqi Pradana, Alfian Futuhul Hadi, Indarto

Land cover information based on remote sensing imagery is effective information for land use management. The use of Sentinel-2 imagery is considered to be able to provide better information on land cover because it has a spatial accuracy of 10 meters. Convolutional Neural Networks is one of the deep learning methods that can be used for image interpretation in order to obtain image classification results which will later obtain information about land cover. PCA-CNN (Principal Component Analysis-Convolutional Neural Network) is a development method of the Convolutional Neural Network method which gives special treatment to the dimension reduction process in the input data. The dimension reduction process is carried out by utilizing the PCA method so that the data processing process becomes faster without losing important information so that better method performance is obtained. The PCA-CNN method is implemented on a dataset of the Situbondo district which is classified into five land cover classes. The results of the PCA-CNN method have an Overall Accuracy of 94.4% and Kappa Indeks 0,92 with 100 epochs of repeated experiments.

Classification of environmental crimes related to the integrated inspection of Ponta do AbunÃ£ in RondÃ´nia, Brazil

The main research problem is whether it is possible to typify and establish a correlation of environmental crimes from the integrated inspection operation known as "Ponta do AbunÃ£" in RondÃ´nia, in the border region between the states of Acre, Amazonas and RondÃ´nia, in two different periods? To answer this question, the general objective of the research was to analyze the typology of environmental crime resulting from the integrated inspection action of IBAMA SuperintendÃªncias do Acre, Amazonas and RondÃ´nia and other command and control bodies carried out in the Ponta do AbunÃ£ region, located in municipality of Porto Velho, RondÃ´nia, Western Amazon. This is a documentary and qualitative research, having as place of research the legal office of IBAMA/RondÃ´nia. For the documentary analysis, 2 semi-structured instruments composed of 3 axes were used, containing the typology of the environmental crime, infraction notices and instruction and embargo term and, current stage or judgment of the process. The results indicate that the harmful conducts to the environment are prolonged throughout the analyzed period. Legislation is able to typify illegal actions and concrete actions fit the legal precept issued by the legislator. The delay in the judgment of the infraction notices analyzed is a real fact that requires a more agile response from the environmental sanctioner.

An overview of a long-life battery technology: Nickelâ€“iron

This survey was designed following the progress of the use of solar energy. Madagascar is one of the countries that benefit enormously from this energy. As a result, many Malagasy people use photovoltaic cells for domestic and professional applications especially those who are outside the electrified areas. However, the used batteries last only 5 years or even 10 years at most, hence the idea of updating Thomas Edison's research in 1901, a nickelâ€“iron battery technology which is distinguished by its long lifespan of more than 25 years. It is therefore a question of determining the chemical reactions involved into the battery, its aging process, its characteristics, its advantages and disadvantages compared to the leadâ€“acid technology. Once the theoretical studies are carried out, the study proposes an application of nickelâ€“iron technology in a photovoltaic installation in Madagascar.

Strength Optimization Models for A Multi-Variant Binder Concrete using Osadebeâ€™s Optimized Mixes

G. A. Akeke, D.E Ewa, D. O. Ibiang

Cement production has now inevitably become associated with increased health risks and unpalatable economic implications. As a result, it has become imperative that concrete be produced from locally sourced, naturally occurring and eco-friendly materials that can either partially or fully replace cement in concrete, and yet maintain its structural viability and constructional adequacy. This paper therefore focused on assessing the structural and strength properties of a three-binder concrete with Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and Mound Soil (MS) as partial replacements of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Compressive strength tests were conducted on the concrete cubes after 28 days of curing. The laboratory work was done with the guidance of the provisions of the Osadebeâ€™s model for the actual components of the MS-RHA concrete. There were ten (10) test points and ten (10) control points taken for this research. The highest compressive strength predicted in this work was 35.0N/mm2 corresponding to a Water/Cement ratio of 0.55 with mix ratio of 0.55:1:1:2 for a 10% replacement of OPC with 5% each of RHA and MS. The least value predicted by the model was 15.20N/mm2 with W/C ratio of 0.47 in mix ratio 0.47:1:5:8. The adequacy of the model was tested using the studentâ€™s t-test and passed for adequacy, with tcalculated = 0.303, less than ttable = 2.262, thereby annulling the alternate hypothesis and sustaining the null hypotheses respectively proposing significant and insignificant differences between the experimental and predicted values.

Environmental Policy of Solid Urban Waste and the Socio-Environmental Impacts in BaturitÃ©, CearÃ¡, Brazil

The research had as its primary objective to understand, from the socio-environmental perspective, the limits, and possibilities of the dynamics of solid urban waste treatment in the municipality. Methodologically, this research study is an exploratory case study, of a basic nature with a qualitative approach. For data collection the techniques of direct observation and non-directive interview were applied to collectors/ dwellers of the municipal dump of BaturitÃ©-CE. As for the analysis techniques, content analysis and socio-historical contextual narrative discourse were used. As conclusive results, the study found that the collectors / residents live in a situation of socio-economic and environmental vulnerability, without having a collective organization to support them, including the absence of municipal government in relation to support these professional collectors of urban solid waste in general and in the locus of the research, specifically.

Quality of Life of Military Policemen in a Western Amazon State in Times of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Objective: To analyze the quality of life of active military police in a state in the Western Amazon during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional field study, with a convenience sample, non-probabilistic and with a quantitative focus, with 358 active PMs in the PMRO. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data and health conditions. To assess QOL, the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire was used, consisting of 26 questions related to the physical, psychological, social relationships and environment domains and their facets. Results: Analyzing the sociodemographic characteristics, the age variable obtained (39.21 Â± 6.41) years and (61.17%) of the PMs were less than 40 years old. The variable length of service was (15.44 Â± 7.64) and (78.21%) of the police officers had less than 20 years of experience in the police service. The working hours obtained (6.87 Â± 2.04) and (29.10 Â± 80.79) days away from work due to NCDs or Covid-19. In terms of education, (52.79%) have a college degree, (69.27%) are married, (47.49%) are warrant officers and sergeants with an income between 5 and 7 minimum wages, (49.44%) work 6 daily hours, (43.02%) were removed from the service due to CNCD and (34.08%) due to Covid-19. The general quality of life obtained an average of (15.21 Â± 2.00). Among the WHOQOL-Bref domains, the highest score was for the psychological domain (16.01Â± 2.11) and the lowest for the environment (14.20 Â± 2.28) and the self-assessment of QOL was (14, 97 Â± 2.69). Conclusion: The quality of life has satisfactory levels, despite chronic health conditions and the multidimensional character of quality of life, with (76.8%) of the PMs evaluating their QOL as very good and good and (65.8%) being very satisfied or satisfied with their health, with the highest scores in the social relationships domain and the lowest in the environment domain. For the facets, the highest scores were for mobility, self-esteem, sexual activity and the lowest scores were for negative feelings, dependence on medication or treatment, and finally, pain and discomfort, data that are corroborated by the self-report of NCDs and Covid-19.

A Timeline of the Risk Field: Bridging Fundamental Achievements and Modern Research

Lucas Lopes Costa, Fabiano Luis de Sousa, Milton de Freitas Chagas Junior

An evolutionary, diverse, and complex path of the risk conceptualization has been built along with the history of mankind. The current understanding and the variety of methods available to deal with risk and uncertainty are linked to the achievements made by several academics and researchers in the past. However, very little of the risk analysis literature has attempt to explicitly bridge or recognize this fundamental construction for organizational and research purposes. This conceptual paper presents the results of a literature research in a timeline framework. The significant accomplishments that collaborated to the modern knowledge in the field of risk are organized in five distinct phases and their connections to modern research topics are discussed. The aim is to provide a condensed but comprehensive overview of the foundations and evolution of the risk field and link the different conceptual paths that currently exist in risk analysis research. The present paper contributes to a systemic view of the risk discipline, which we believe will be a helpful review from which academy and industry readers would benefit.

Miguel FerranteÂ´s Seringal: human exploitation and violence in Amazonian rubber plantations

Miguel NenevÃ©, Giselle Silva Costa

In this article we explore the issue of violence and oppression suffered by rubber-tappers in the Amazonian rubber plantations, visible in Miguel FerranteÂ´s novel Seringal. The novel is set in the Santa Rita rubber plantation in the interior of Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon, and reproduces the oppressive life of rubber tappers who work for the owner of the rubber plantation, the â€œcolonel. â€œAlways aiming at â€œprofit and more profitâ€ rubber plantationÂ´s owner exploits and enslaves the â€œseringueirosâ€, taking violent actions against the poor workers. The novel also reveals the subhuman condition in which the women in the rubber plantation live, subject to rape and other sort of violence. Women are more deeply colonized and exploited than the rubber men. We argue that violence against women and workers today reflects violence in rubber plantations in the XX century. Scholars such as the thinker Frantz Fanon (1979) who wrote about colonization and Cristina Wolf (2001) who researches violence in the state of Acre, among others, support our argument.

Strategic Planning and Territorial Development: A New Methodological Construction from those affected by the Sobradinho-BA Dam

This article aims to highlight the impacts of a social debt of the Sobradinho-BA dam that left 12,000 families disappropriated, around 70,000 people and 8,619,000 were from rural families (IPEA, 2018). This research is based on a bibliographic review, based on the theoretical and interdisciplinary methodology of political administration, strategic planning and territorial development that investigated the consequences in the social, economic, environmental, political and cultural dimensions of the construction of the Sobradinho-BA dam for those affected. As a result, it is perceived that there are only ruins of the 04 submerged cities, these riverside families and their descendants had their roots and ties of territoriality forbade, generating a social problem in the future generations of the population involved, requiring new scientific research of the administrative sciences of the theme.

Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): Analysis of the Knowledge of Direct Users

The objective of this study was to verify the level of knowledge of users regarding the waste of electrical and electronic products generated by them. Therefore, a qualitative research was implemented, with an exploratory-descriptive objective. 150 questionnaires were sent to users residing in four Brazilian capitals, with a response rate of 91.33%. Overall, 30% of users â€œinfrequentlyâ€ (PF) segregate waste; 6.57% â€œvery oftenâ€ (MF) have already looked for an appropriate point of disposal of electronic waste. The city of MaceiÃ³-AL has 52.78% of users who â€œneverâ€ (N) disposed of their waste at an appropriate collection point against the same percentage for SÃ£o Paulo-SP who â€œoftenâ€ (F) did so; 29.20% â€œinfrequentlyâ€ (PF) thought of somehow reducing the amount of waste generated; 91.97% of users â€œneverâ€ (N) have heard about or have unsatisfactory knowledge about the existence of the National Solid Waste Policy â€“ NSWP. Regarding this last question, there was no significant difference between the respondent users with high school and higher education levels.

Hybrid Artificial Neural Networks for Electricity Consumption Prediction

Ricardo Augusto Manfredini

We present a comparative study of electricity consumption predictions using the SARIMAX method (Seasonal Auto Regressive Moving Average eXogenous variables), the HyFis2 model (Hybrid Neural Fuzzy Inference System) and the LSTNetA model (Long and Short Time series Network Adapted), a hybrid neural network containing GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and dense layers, specially adapted for this case study. The comparative experimental study developed showed a superior result for the LSTNetA model with consumption predictions much closer to the real consumption.

A Finite Difference Scheme for the Modeling of a Direct Methanol Fuel Cell

Hoc-Tran Nguyen, Tuan-Anh Nguyen, Van Thi Thanh Ho

A one dimensional (1-D), isothermal model for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is introduced and solved numerically by a simple finite difference scheme. By using numerical calculation, the model model can be extended to more complicated situation which can not be solved analytically. The model considers the kinetics of the multi-step methanol oxidation reaction at the anode. Diffusion and crossover of methanol are taken into account and the reduced potential of the cell due to the crossover is then estimated. The calculated results are compared to the experimental data from literature. This finite difference scheme can be rapidly solved with high accuracy and it is suitable for the extension of the model to more detail or to higher dimension.

Development of Power Back-Up System using Motor Control for Large Equipment

Federico E. del Pozo Jr., Apollo Victor O. Bawagan, Divine Rhea J. Ceruma

Uninterruptible power supply became a vital technology in the modern era. Through the advancement of technology, the development of this kind of technology seems to be more advanced in terms of size, efficiency, and the delivery of purpose and functionality. However, the compatibility of the device to a certain load remains to be the problem. With this, the researchers developed a power back-up system that can deliver the same purpose for any load including large and critical equipment. This technology was able to vary the storage system capacity, which also integrated the use of other energy sources such as new and renewable. The technology used motor control devices for the same purpose. To validate the effectiveness of the technology, the researchers used factorial design and comparative study to match with the performance of a commercially available uninterruptible power supply. In terms of performance with the commercially available uninterruptible power supply, the comparative study showed that there is no significant difference and thus the power back-up system is as efficient and equally reliable as the commercially available devices. Therefore, the power back-up system is highly adaptable, can substitute commercially available uninterruptible power supply, and can be an effective back-up system for large and critical equipment.

MaurÃcio Cabral Penteado, Andreia Cristina Furtado

The sugar-energy sector is one of the main economic activities in Brazil and has a high availability of residues with the potential for biogas production. In this sense, the present study sought to analyze the characteristics of the sugarcane processing plants and to define a theoretical plant with the average characteristics for the state of ParanÃ¡, with the aim of identifying the biogas production potential of this unit and to evaluate the monetization strategy that presents the best results. The analysis performed shows that the state has 23 units in operation that have an installed capacity to process up to 246,530 tons of sugarcane per day; the biogas production potential of the theoretical plant would produce over 21,127 MWh.year-1 of electric energy or 6,302,463 NmÂ³.year-1 of biomethane. When analyzing the different monetization methods of biogas, the self-consumption of biomethane associated with the commercialization of the surplus portion presented a better financial performance (R$16.1 million.year-1) when compared to the exclusive sale of biomethane (R$12.6 million.year-1) or electricity (R$7.3 million.year-1).

Treatment of Opioid Overdose with Naloxone: A discussion on the implementation of intranasal therapy in Brazil

The increasing use and dependence on opioids has resulted in numerous events with serious psychosocial disorders associated with unpredictable behavioral situations, in addition to morbidity and mortality due to overdose. Heroin leads the ranking of overdoses due to its high addiction power. The use of antidotes during the care of overdose patients minimizes mortality and improves survival, thereby reducing the damage caused. The objective of this study is to correlate the observed cases and to glimpse the efficacy in the treatment with injectable naloxone versus intranasal spray, its efficacy, practicality, and punctuality in the prognosis. This is a systematic and explanatory study based on scientific articles that are in line with the descriptors controlled by indexing sites and, from the data systematically collected, according to the method described above, the quality of the therapy that demonstrated a promising way to basic life support, when suggested by the lay population or nonmedical community. Continuity of studies is recommended in order to mediate the implementation of the intranasal spray method in Brazil.

A novel mathematical modeling to assess the bone mineral density under mechanical stimuli

Assessing the variation in bone mineral density (BMD) remains as a complex task, given the countless variables and parameters that constitute the boundary conditions. The present study aims to present a novel mathematical modeling to assess the BMD of maxilla and mandible through of bone remodeling under mechanical simulations. The behavior analyze of bone remodeling tissue will be verified by submitting to mechanical stimuli and application of stress on dental implants. The analyze process will use computational tools and mathematical modeling, which should provide the evolution of the density in the bone tissue in the time, considering different mechanical stimuli. The studies on bone remodeling are not specific for the bones that make up the maxilla and mandible. Thereby, the findings donâ€™t translate the specific behavior of increased bone density in these regions, reference values are used, however do not demonstrate correlations that are significant between the density of other areas studies with the maxilla or mandible, in view of the fact that bone density may reflect in the responses obtained in relation to orthodontic movements. This study allows determining the appropriate parameters and reference values that correspond to these evaluated regions, whose bone density is variable in the same element and have a great difference in density between the maxilla and the mandible. The use of such suitable reference values in the bone regions may provide a better understanding of the behavior of the bone tissue in the mandibular region as a function of time. The simulations pointed that the loadings can be applied with different types of stimulus. The modeling was able to measure stress loads, indicated to obtain a better response to dental treatments.

Urban Morphology in Coastal Cities

PatrÃcia Diogo, Manuel Diogo

In a close future, in which cultural heritage will represent a path with historical value and will be studied by the aesthetic, ethnological or anthropological point of view, the urban rehabilitation will appear as a commitment between the past and the present (future) and the sustainable, inclusive and intelligent development. Linking all these elements with all of different characteristics, from an objective point of view, the investigation will not seek miraculous solutions to old difficulties of spatial planning or rapid resolution of emerging problems, because more than expanding the generalist field of knowledge or giving a new academic precision to an empirical approach, the research aims to deepen scientific knowledge about the fishing settlements located on the border line provided by the sea line, and about the rural settlements delimited by the plow wake that once furrowed the land, with resilient particularities achieved in an unique and shared ambience because we will support the investigation in this â€œliving-labâ€ and reply this research as a model on similar large-scale environments on Earth.

Banking Credit Risk Analysis with Naive Bayes Approach and Cox Proportional Hazard

Dwi Putri Antika, Mohamat Fatekurohman, I Made Tirta

Credit is needed for some people for certain purposes. In credit, it takes a party that can be used as an intermediary such as a bank. The debtor may not be able to make payments according to the original policy or even cause losses where the Bank may lose the opportunity to earn interest, causing a decrease in total income. This problem is included in the case of non-performing loans. In statistics, the duration of time between a person not making a payment on time until a non-current loan occurs can be predicted using survival analysis. Meanwhile, to predict credit status, you can use classification or prediction methods in machine learning to find out how much influence the predictor variable has. In this study, with a different case, focusing on the credit risk case of how a bank decides to provide credit to prospective debtors using the classifier method found in Machine Learning, namely Naive Bayes and Cox regression from survival analysis. Through the evaluation test of the naive bayes classifier model using accuracy values, confusion matrix and ROC, it can be concluded that this model is a model with good performance for predicting credit status. Multinomial nave Bayes in this study has a higher performance value than Gaussian NaÃ¯ve Bayes and Bernoulli NaÃ¯ve Bayes which is 92%. Through cox regression, it is obtained that income factors and loan history have a major influence on determining credit status.

Spatial Characterization of Water quality for human consumption from well in the county of Barcarena - PA

The exploitation of groundwater in the world assumes an important role due to its low cost, but this facility makes it more vulnerable to contamination. In this context, this study characterized the physical-chemical, toxicological and microbiological aspects of 165 samples of water for human consumption from wells from different sources of supply in the county of Barcarena-PA, which is divided into two regions: Barcarena headquarters and Industrial, in the period from 2017 to 2019. A water quality index was prepared to assess the water quality standard. Total Coliform bacteria were detected in 43.64% and E. coli in 15.76% of the water samples, most of which were untreated. Considering the physical-chemical and toxicological parameters, some, such as pH and aluminum, presented average values in disagreement with Brazilian legislation. Thus, a heterogeneity of contamination was observed in the Headquarters and Industrial regions, where the first presented alteration in the physical-chemical and microbiological parameters and the second, greater amount of metals and lower pH values. As for the index, only three categories of water quality were evidenced in the municipality: low, medium and high, which were distributed differently among the studied areas, supporting that environmental contamination occurs for different causes.

Amazon Environmental Perspective Presented in Teaching Books used in the Public Network of Porto Velho/Ro

This article brings as an object of study the symbolic representations of the Amazon in texts from textbooks used in the public network of Porto Velho/RO. This object inquires the question: How is the Brazilian Amazon portrayed in textbooks distributed in public schools? For that, qualitative research was carried out, legitimized from the Cultural Analysis under the support of Cultural Studies. From a qualitative approach, it is intended to detect the symbolic constructions in the selected texts, to analyze the production of meaning effects regarding ideologies, imaginaries, silencing and discursive formations. In the data analysis, the meanings established in various modes of production (verbal and non-verbal) were questioned, since their materiality produces meanings for interpretation. It is concluded that the symbolic representations of the Amazon in the analyzed texts, assert the discursive effect of a green, uncivilized imaginary. There is a silencing of other regional characteristics to superimpose others, ideological, of a rural character, of an undeveloped place, without progress in â€œEl doradoâ€ without technology and urbanization.

Analysis of environmental risks and impacts of an energy storage system: An applied case study of a photovoltaic plant in the Northeast of Brazil

Batteries have been increasingly used as energy storage tools associated with the generation of solar and wind energy, contributing to the reduction of negative environmental impacts. However, as much as there is a reduction in impacts, when compared to other forms of energy generation, it is still relevant to analyze the environmental risks and impacts that may be linked to Energy Storage Systems (ESS). This study presents an analysis of environmental risks and impacts related to ESSs, based on lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, of a photovoltaic plant located in the Northeast of Brazil. The applied methodology involved two techniques: the Bow Tie method, for the analysis of environmental risks, and the Interaction Matrix method, for the analysis of environmental impacts. Within the scope of the Bow Tie method, diagrams of the situations relevant to this study were generated, identifying causes and consequences, as well as prevention and mitigation actions for each risk. The main environmental risks found were of fire and/or explosions and environmental contamination. In the event that these risks occur, the environmental impacts associated with the physical, biotic and anthropic environments, as well as with the phases of the Li-ion ESSs (operation and decommissioning), were also identified through the Interaction Matrix, which confirmed the importance of applying preventive and appropriate measures for the listed risks, in order to, as much as possible, avoid a wide range of impacts on the environment. Through this study, it was possible to highlight both the importance of the appropriate care for the protection of the environment and for the safety of the plant's employees and the surrounding community.

Social Responsibility in Government Relations

MSc. Gabriel Rocha Lima Amaral1, Dr. Ronaldo do Nascimento Carvalho2

Democracies considered advanced have legislation regulating lobbying activities as an important element in the representation of interest groups, but the relationship of these groups with the State integrates elements of corporate social responsibility. What has not been considered is how public servants view this regulation as an interested party. The present study observes the perception of the Federal District Legislative Chamber employees on the elements necessary for effective social responsibility in government relations.

Use of information and communication technologies in the processes of technological training in sustainable agriculture in the Brazilian context a literature review

The digital transformation in agriculture is underway and has increasingly attracted several segments that perceive the potential of technologies to leverage agricultural production, through the use of technological resources that enable rural planning, cost reduction allied to the preservation of resources. natural resources, such as precision agriculture. This article aims to identify the contributions of technological training in sustainable agriculture made possible with the use of information and communication technologies [ICTs] in the Brazilian context and its implications for the economic and social development of the territories. The perceived problem is that the lack of adoption of ICTs by social and economic agents delays the process of territorial development. Based on the hypothesis that the use of ICTs in technological training in sustainable agriculture can contribute to the economic and social development of the territories, a literature review of articles published in journals was carried out, from 2017 to May 2022. The main observed results highlight that the use of ICTs requires greater engagement of social and economic agents from different territories, in order to guarantee the implementation of public policies that expand connectivity and the training of actors.

Global Companies and Their Territorialization Strategies: The Royal Agrifirm Group Case in Brazil

This article studies transnational companies and their territorialization strategies. The case study addressed refers to the Royal Agrifirm Group cooperative. We sought to analyze how the territorialization strategies of global companies, aiming at greater competitiveness and opportunities for expansion in new markets, have repercussions on the territory in which they are installed. To understand such contexts, semi-structured interviews were carried out with qualified informants; data collected from secondary sources; bibliographic and documentary. The systematization and interpretation of qualitative data took place through content analysis, with the MAXQDA software (2022). The results obtained showed that the company has a strong culture, with well-defined norms and that it applies its strategies by developing its processes in a space of continuous and vertical flows. Its territorialization strategies include specific and orderly planning, based on the planning and control of goals and results to be achieved, as a way of making investments made in the territory viable.

Evaluation of the interference of paracetamol on blood glucose measurement: A randomized laboratory trial

Data from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) indicate that 8.8% of the world's population suffers from diabetes. Glycemic dosage is one of the most important laboratory parameters for the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. That is why it is of paramount importance to guarantee doctors and the patient a reliable, safe and error-free report. It is known that the majority of the population uses medications randomly and without a prescription. Many drugs can interfere with the analytical methods of various laboratory tests. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro interference of the drug paracetamol in glycemic dosage by the glucose oxidase method, which the literature reports is the most used method in glycemic dosages and which is susceptible to interference by paracetamol. Glycemic measurement of a control sample was performed with commercial serum of known value, at a concentration of 100 mg/dl, and commercial serum samples submitted to different concentrations of paracetamol, ranging from 10 Î¼g/ml to 5 mg/ml. A significant decrease (p

Innovative cocktails: Physical-chemical profile during storage

For the improvement and inclusion of new food technologies in the market, several evaluations must be carried out carefully in a new product, from its formulation, physical-chemical and microbiological tests to acceptance by the final consumer. This study aimed to evaluate the formulation of bottled alcoholic beverages in relation to physical-chemical aspects and stability during storage at two temperatures, for a period of up to 150 days, analyzing the physical-chemical parameters. Mixed alcoholic beverages, caipirinha, margherita and dulce de leche flavors, were evaluated regarding mandatory parameters of identity and quality standards of the legislation, quantification of chemical elements (Mg, k, Mn, Fe, Cu, Pb, As, Cd and Sn). For the stability study, the Accelerated Shelf-Life Test (TAVP) was performed, the samples were stored at temperatures of 30 and 40 Â°C in a BOD-type oven, in the absence of light and evaluated at regular intervals of time in relation to the parameters physical-chemical properties and color, in order to verify if there was a significant difference between the standard sample (beginning of storage) in relation to each elapsed temperature and time. With the exception of the caipirinha, which did not reach the minimum limit of 1g/100 mL of lemon juice, but this parameter can be easily corrected. The drinks remained stable throughout the storage time, the physico-chemical parameters analyzed of the three samples did not show changes in behavior at temperatures of 30 and 40 Â°C, when compared to each other, despite having presented a significant difference by the Tukey test and the non-parametric Kruskal Wallis test at a significance level of 5%. It was noticeable in the visual analysis of color and the comparisons of color parameters (L, Chroma and HUE) that there was a color variation over the storage time, however, this did not influence the shelf life, which was estimated to be greater than 150 days. Thus, it can be concluded that the drinks were stable and commercially acceptable.

Challenges of agricultural entities in financial reporting: Case of Albania

Ervi Kosta, Anxhela Bakiasi, Albana Jupe

Agriculture sector remains an engine of Albania's economic growth, statistical data indicates that agriculture accounts for as much as 20% of GDP or in employment about 50% of the active power. According to data published from INSTAT in 2016 the number of registered economic units was 321,358, where 10% were engaged in the agricultural sector or about 1,287 entities operating as natural person or legal person and 31,372 farmers who have an agricultural activity. For the purpose of financial reporting, all entities registered in tax authorities, should use the improved accounting standard number 13 for the recognition and evaluation of biological assets. The implementation of this standard is important by making comparable accounting information on biological assets offered by these companies which exercise economic activity in the field of biological assets. But when we consider accounting procedure problems, it is noticed that exits a small amount of information about the rules, techniques, and list of accounts that guide us to a correct and believable view. We have come to the conclusion that besides the other arguments this phenomena occurs beacause, agricultural accounting has not been developed as a course in any faculty in our country meanwhile the Faculty of Economics and Agribusiness has added to its curriculum during the last three years. For this reason, we have undertaken in this paper the challenge to find out which are the crucial problems faced by Albanian entities during financial reporting and some of the solutions that will help these units to provide the appropriate information for tax intention and for owners to take the right decisions so they can have a sustainable business. To come to the right conclusions we will conduct a review on the literature on the evolution of accounting in agriculture in Albania as well as in the world. Likewise, preliminary data will be provided through interviews with the makers of financial reports, which will be analyzed descriptively.

The current research has as objective analyze the water quality of GuamÃ¡ river in the surroundings of Combu island, insular area of BelÃ©m - ParÃ¡, through the following parameters: thermotolerant coliforms, E. coli and chlorophyll a. Six samples were collected in low tide, in rainy periods and in strategic points of the river, near tourism areas. After the collection were submitted to quantitative test technique with enzymatic substrate to the result of more probable number (MPN) to thermotolerant coliforms and E. coli. To chlorophyll a, the samples were submitted to the method of extraction and reading in the visible spectrophotometer. The results showed values above of the legal limits of 1,000 MPN/100 ml determined by CONAMA 357/2005 for thermotolerant coliforms and E. coli, with mean of 7,001 MPN/100 for the first and 2,330 MPN/100 ml for the second. About the chlorophyll a, although the values do not pass the legal limit of CONAMA 357/2005 of 30 Âµg/L in all collection points, with mean of 4,73 Âµg/L, the index of trophic state - ITS result in indication of river eutrophication. It can be highlighted the deficiency in basic sanitation services in Combu island, which interferes both in the quality of GuamÃ¡ river, with high concentration of coliforms indicatives of fecal contamination, and in the health of local population, which demands the use of water for survival , but that has the potential risk of waterborne diseases in the most vulnerable communities.

Analysis of State Civil Responsibility in Climate Litigation Conflicts, in the Context of the Elevation of Environmental Causes to the Human Rights Protection Category

The objective of this article is to present the transformation of the Climate Litigation theme, under a contemporary context, inserted in the approach within the category of human rights and in the face of the phenomenon of globalization of environmental issues. We sought to analyze the opposite context to the traditional discourse of punishment of the private sectors, such as entrepreneurs and individuals for environmental attacks. Thus, the purpose was to bring to light that the State has gone from a mere spectator of environmental causes to the main agent in legal matters, inspection, and applicator of penalties to violators of environmental policies. Failure to do so may result in liability. Notwithstanding the Paris Agreement, which governs measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 2020, does not establish penalties for violators of the goals established for countries, there is a tendency, within the scope of domestic law, for state accountability in demands of Climate Litigation. Through the analysis of concrete cases, such as Massachussets et al v. Environmental Protection Agency, the case Lliuya v. Rwe, and other genuinely Brazilian cases, sought to present the trend of the judicialization of climate issues, supported by the mainstay of state responsibility, through legal institutes that allow the civil, administrative and criminal conviction of the public entity. The article was produced by the descriptive method, with data and qualitative bibliographic research. Now, if it is the guarantor of fundamental rights such as the right to life, health, food security, property and if it authorizes the consumption of natural resources and the approval of environmental projects, why not demand the parameters of sustainability in the context of public policy?

Prevalence of burnout syndrome in gynecology and obstetrics residents at the Maternal-Infant University Hospital of SÃ£o LuÃs-MA.

Objective: Characterize and evaluate the prevalence of SB in physicians residing in the specialty of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University Hospital Materno Infantil, Federal University of MaranhÃ£o, in SÃ£o LuÃs, linking the epidemiological characteristics in order to identify risk factors. Method: Epidemiological questionnaires were used to define the variables and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the most used instrument to evaluate SB. Results: From this, it was observed that the prevalence of SB among the above-mentioned residents is 80.8%; individuals who have renumbered activity outside the home have a higher personal achievement than those who do not have it; 2nd and 3rd year has a higher personal achievement level than first year residents. Conclusion: No significant differences were found in any of the SB variables in relation to age, marital status, gender, whether or not to have a child, whether or not to have pain / discomfort in the last 6 months, in relation to CH of weekly work outside the residence and the time of medical performance before entering the PRM (Medical Residency Program).

Mental Health Strategies in Primary Care: Teaching and Service Articulation, in TucuruÃ, ParÃ¡, Amazon

In the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform movement, health professionals, family members, users and managers built new ways of producing mental health care, transforming the limitations of the biomedical model with social exclusion and turning to the territorial-based care model, with the construction of daily care services organized in a network. The general objective of this study is to articulate the teaching and service integration through an initial listening guide in mental health in the Family Health Strategy in the Municipality of TucuruÃ-PA. This is a field research study, with a qualitative approach, of a descriptive nature, aimed at nursing professionals, using the technique of data collection with semi-structured interviews. Data interpretation analyzes were performed through content analysis in the categorical-thematic modality according to Bardin's technique, being structured in three thematic categories: sociodemographic profile of the participants, mental health care in the health service and articulation of the network of mental health care. The results show that most participants do not act directly in the mental health demand, carrying out the referral when they detect emotional distress, with difficulties in articulating the network. There is a need to invest in the continuing education of nursing in the face of psychological care, as they do not feel prepared to meet this demand. This research generated as a product an initial care guide in mental health to assist in the nursing consultation and in the reception of people with complaints of emotional distress.

Old age, sexuality and self-knowledge as a tripod to Achieve Quality of life stimulated by health and education professionals: A theoretical-analytical Study

With the present study, we carried out an investigation into how sexuality is directly linked to the quality of life of the elderly, and how some elements, such as the body and pleasure, become essential for their self-esteem. In this sense, we intend to build a theoretical-analytical research on old age and sexuality in post-modernity, a period in which there is a considerable search for the use of medicines. Our position defends that old age is not synonymous with functional incapacity, but we understand that this elderly individual lives in a quest to rescue the right to a sexual life in old age, which reflects multiple forms of libidinal transformation. It also means understanding it in a broad sense, which goes through tenderness, through physical contacts that erogenize the body, such as the look, touch, voice, rediscovering the first forms of human love. The collected studies point to a direct conjunction between sexuality, sexual pleasure and the quality of life of the elderly.

Photosynthesis and growth of the sweet sorghum supplemented with silicon

Oscar FontÃ£o de Lima Filho, Germani ConcenÃ§o

Silicon is a major element in plants, being essential for some species and beneficial for others, with important role in plant metabolism. Several families of monocotyledons have the ability to absorb high amounts of this compound, being considered silicon accumulators. This is the case of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), a plant with C4 carbon metabolism, with high photosynthetic activity, and great potential for ethanol production; its residual biomass can also be used for energy cogeneration in sugarcane production systems. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of silicon, in the form of sodium metasilicate, on sweet sorghum plants cultivated under hydroponic conditions and without stress of biotic or abiotic origin. There is a linear increase in silicon content in leaves, stalks and roots as a function of increasing doses of this element in the substrate. Silicon supplementation in sweet sorghum increases photosynthesis rates, water use efficiency and leaf biomass. The best dose of silicon for maximum photosynthetic efficiency is 70 mg L 1 of Si in the nutrient solution.

The dimensions of sustainability in relation to the dimensions of family farming in irrigated public perimeters

It is known that sustainability is directly linked to the way people should behave in relation to nature and how they should train themselves to conserve or sustain a certain action, system or process. In this sense, family farming, in theory, is more likely to preserve sustainable principles. This work is the result of a bibliographic review, with discussions and reflections by authors who deal with the fundamentals of sustainability in the face of the dysfunctions that family farming has been going through, because despite its relevance to food and nutritional security, it has been moving away from practices that must be sustainable. Thus, the results show that there are deviations from sustainable dimensions in family farming, which is responsible for a large part of food production. At the same time, it is perceived that an effective policy of care is of paramount importance, with regard to investments and guidance on the need to reestablish the dimensions of sustainability in family farming practice.

Investigation of the Determining Questions in the Selection of Respiratory Masks in the Prevention of COVID Using the DEMATEL Method

The World Health Organization recommends the use of respiratory protective equipment, in this context masks, as a way to alleviate the severe acute respiratory infection disease pandemic COVID19 (SARS-CoV-2). This recommendation was made to the general population, not just health professionals or people who are in direct contact with the sick. Generally speaking, there was a lot of publicity for the use of masks, but there was no disclosure of what would be the most important requirements to be considered for the choice. In this context, the objective of this work was to verify the understanding of the community in general about what are the important requirements in choosing a protective mask against pathogens. For this, an analysis was carried out in 200 scientific articles where it was possible to obtain five keywords related to the most important requirements when choosing a mask, namely: comfort, safety, cost, reuse and facial adjustment. An opinion poll was carried out in 4 groups, in which a weighting was requested for each keyword. The first group is composed of five health professionals and five teachers, the second of five students and people randomly chosen from the community. The objective is to study the influential criteria for the choice of respiratory protection equipment using the mathematical method Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to demonstrate the influence relationship between the criteria. As a result, it was found that the group of professionals considers criteria related to safety and the group of non-professionals considers factors related to cost and reuse, and this demonstrates a higher risk of infection.

Quality Assurance Requirements Tailoring Approach for Small Satellite Projects

In regulated environments, which have impacts on the society, standards are adopted to determine rules to be followed, since the society expects to receive safe and reliable products and services. Regulatory agencies usually require adherence to requirements established in norms and standards so the product can be approved. In this context, space programs Quality Assurance standards are applicable to satellite projects with a wide responsibility range, from experimental small satellites to manned spaceships. Applying the full contents of these standards may be unfeasible to small missions with low responsibility, considering the cost and schedule constraints inherent to this type of project. Therefore, a customization of the requirements must be conducted in a thoughtful and disciplined manner, considering the project characteristics. The tailoring process presented in this work includes the analysis of the risk to the mission due to the reduction of the set of requirements. Each requirement was evaluated in view of its maintenance, modification, or elimination. This paper presents a process of tailoring mission-specific requirements, using a mission risk rating and the risk analysis tool FMECA. The result was a structured process for tailoring requirements, which provided a subset of Quality Assurance requirements applicable to small satellite projects.
