Authors:   1Associate professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sri Sai Ram Engineering College, Chennai-44,India, K Vetri Velmurugan
Published: February 2025

The paper is about the design and evaluation of an automated vegetable transplanter aimed at improving the efficiency, precision, and scalability in modern agriculture. This system integrates a robotic arm, a crank-driven pickup mechanism and a 5-bar digging system to ensure accurate and damage-free planting of vegetable saplings. The transplanter is designed for variety of vegetable crops. The use of a mechanical arm and conveyor system enables smooth conveyance of saplings to the planting mechanism, where blades and digging arms facilitate precise soil penetration and optimal plant spacing. Analytical results demonstrate the system’s ability to transplant a variety of vegetable species with high accuracy and efficiency, offering significant advantages over traditional methods in terms of speed and adaptability to diverse field conditions. By automating the transplantation process, the system reduces labor requirements, minimizes operational costs, and promotes sustainable farming practices. These findings suggest that the automated transplanter is a promising tool for increasing productivity, improving crop yield and supporting the modern agricultural industry.

A Study on Gesture Control Arduino Robot
Authors:   VTU University, Department Of Mechanical Engineering, BIET College, Karnataka, India., NR Pradeep
Published: February 2025

Gesture Controlled Car is a robot which can be controlled by simple human gestures. The user just needs to wear a gesture device in which a sensor is included. The sensor will record the movement of hand in a specific direction which will result in the motion of the robot in the respective directions. The robot and the Gesture instrument are connected wirelessly through radio waves. User can interact with the robot in a more friendly way due to the wireless communication. We can control the car using accelerometer sensors connected to a hand glove. The sensors are intended to replace the remote control that is generally used to run the car. It will allow user to control the forward, backward, leftward and rightward movements, while using the same accelerometer sensor to control the throttle of the car. Movement of car is controlled by the differential mechanism. The mechanism involves the rotation of both forth & rear wheels of left or right side to move in the anticlockwise direction and the other pair to rotate in the clockwise direction which makes the car to rotate about its own axis without any kind of forward or backward motion. The main advantage of this mechanism is the car with this mechanism can take sharp turn without any difficulty. The design and implementation of a gesture control robotic arm using flex sensor is proposed. The robotic arm is designed in such a way that it consists of four movable fingers, each with three linkages, an opposing thumb, a rotating wrist and an elbow. The robotic arm is made to imitate the human hand movements using a hand glove.

The purpose of the research is to conduct an energy assessment of serial turbodisc cultivators for vertical tillage. Turbodisc cultiva-tors were evaluated by analyzing the characteristics of turbodisc cultivators from Agrifest-Express (12 models), Salford (21 models). The indicators of turbodisc cultivators are considered, which include the width of the grip, the required power and productivity. Based on these indicators, the energy indicators of the turbodisc cultivators of the companies Agrifest-Express and Salford were determined, depending on the depth of processing. These indicators included the energy intensity of the turbodisc cultivator, its specific efficiency at the processing depth, the specific power per 1 m of the width of the turbodisc cultivator. The statistical values of the characteristics of turbodisc cultivators from the companies "Agrifest-Express" and Salford are given. The energy indicators of turbodisc cultivators from Agrifest-Express and Salford companies have been determined. Salford turbodisc cultivators have a larger grip width compared to the Agrifest Express, and they also require tractors with a capacity of over 310 hp, the range of required power is 96 ...604 hp, their productivity is lower compared to the Agrifest Express. The average energy values of Salford turbodisc cultivators are higher compared to the Agrifest Express with a difference E = 45%, N = 19...76% at different processing depths and Kd = 19%. With all their diversity, the TDK-1420/96 model of the Agrifest-Express company has become the most widespread, which has the following energy indicators: energy intensity – 12.95 kWh/ha, specific efficiency – 383.28 kW/ha, specific power per 1 m of width – 19.16 kW/m. At the same time, this model will allow processing an area of 0.000071...0.000288 hectares with different processing depths – 0.05...0.06 m.

The purpose of the research is to develop methods for increasing soil fertility and crop yields due to the supply of stubble and root residues in grain-row crop rotations. Direct sowing involves the cultivation of plants without physical preparation of the soil with the preservation of crop residues of the previous crop on its surface. Stubble and root res-idues provide favorable conditions for biological processes in the soil, contribute to carbon sequestration. Field exper-iments were carried out in the period of 2018-2022 in the conditions of the Middle Volga region on the territory of the Pokhvistnevsky district within the land use boundaries of «Orlovka» – AIC LLC using direct sowing technologies (No-till). The soil is a typical medium-humus, medium-thick chernozem. Our research was carried out in 10 crop rotations where crops were grown: soybean, spring wheat, winter wheat, sunflower, barley, corn, mustard. Yield indicators and the amount of stubble and root residues (СRR) of each crop were calculated. Using the Microsoft Excel program, a mathematical analysis of the dependence of the yield on the total amount of surface and root residues of the prede-cessor crop was made. Based on the results of the study, it can be noted that the following crop rotation is optimal for soybeans: soybean – wheat – sunflower – fallow. A similar result was obtained in the soybean – corn – soybean – wheat crop rotation, where after corn and wheat a large amount of СRR remained — 103.0 and 43.4 c/ha, respective-ly. The most successful for obtaining the maximum yield of wheat can be considered crop rotations in which the alter-nation of wheat and soybeans occurs. Correlation analysis of the data showed that the closest relationship between the yield and the amount of СRR is observed in the case of cultivation of wheat after sunflower (r = 0.90) and sun-flower after wheat (r = 0.82). It can also be noted that the plant residues of soybean and wheat do not mutually affect the formation of the future crop.

Published: February 2025

Semarang City faces recurrent flooding and tidal inundation due to an inadequate drainage system, rapid urbanization, and the adverse impacts of climate change. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Kali Semarang revitalization project in mitigating flood and tidal inundation while identifying key challenges in its implementation. A mixed-method research approach is adopted, integrating hydrological analysis using a rainfall-runoff model, GIS-based spatial mapping, and stakeholder interviews. The findings reveal a significant reduction in flood inundation, from 1,281.67 hectares in 2023 to 1,228.96 hectares in 2024, along with a decrease in the number of inundation points from 522 to 466 locations. Additionally, embankment construction and river dredging improved water flow capacity, reducing inundation duration from 10 to 6 hours per event. However, challenges such as high sedimentation rates, inadequate inter-agency coordination, and limited infrastructure maintenance funding persist. Practical recommendations include enhancing drainage capacity, optimizing real-time hydrological monitoring, and increasing community engagement in urban drainage maintenance. These findings contribute to evidence-based urban flood management strategies for climate-resilient cities.
High Q Nanoplasmonic biosensor based on surface lattice resonances in the visible spectrum
Authors: Asim Arslan , Cada Michael , Ma Yuan , Fine Alan
Published: February 2025

Plasmonic nano-antennas are widely accepted as suitable platforms for biosensing tasks because Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is very sensitive to changes in its environment. However, recent studies suggest that SPRs may have limited Quality (Q) factors, especially in comparison with their dielectric counterparts. Therefore, this paper attempts to innovate the design of plasmonic nano-antennas to achieve high Q factors through Surface Lattice Resonance (SLR) in the visible frequency band. This resonance is linked with plasmonic nanostructures organized in arrays. The structure consists of a metal-dielectric-metal configuration at the base with metallic nanopillars protruding upward. The nanophotonic device has been investigated for refractometric sensing applications. The maximum Q factor achieved as a result of this work is 245, which has been compared with contemporary plasmonic metasurface Q factors. The simulation framework has been implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics, which employs the Finite Element Method (FEM). Regression analysis has been used to formulate the calibration curve for the sensor. High Q factors provide better selectivity for biosensing applications.

Een remix van het strafproces? Een hiphop-theorie van het herstelrecht

A remix of the criminal justice process? A hip-hop theory of restorative justice

Hip-hop and restorative justice may seem odd bedfellows, but according to Antony Pemberton they have more in common than many would assume. In the first place hip-hop shares a common history, at least with restorative justice's modern incarnations, spanning four decades, to become a similarly global phenomenon. Much of the social ecology shaping RJ is similar to hiphop. In addition hiphop's criticism of criminal justice almost goes without saying. Almost no source offers similar scathing critique of criminal justice and penal institutions as rap lyrics. Pemberton concludes that rituals in hip-hop are connected with the need to deal with conflict. The way respect and disrespect can coincide in rap-battles might offer insights in the way similar dialectics can be navigated within restorative justice processes. The extent to which this is possible is necessarily limited. Pemberton finds that hip-hop – with the exception of graffiti- does not seem currently to criticize the key neo-liberal values of the American Zeitgeist. The much maligned chasm between the old-school and the new school can be situated in this observation. Where hip-hop, as a social movement, used to deploy the depiction of injustice as a means to underline the necessity of social change, the current motto appears to be rich or die tryin”. The life of the thug and the gangsta is depicted as the epitome of the American Dream. Here Pemberton sees grounds for a cautionary warning for restorative justice, which is nurtured by a similar neo-liberal undercurrent in a number of jurisdictions.
Mediaberichtgeving over calamiteiten: de magie meester?

Media attention for calamities: mastering magic?

Authorities are increasingly challenged by the globalised media to improve their way of communication to the public. This applies particularly for the management of calamities. In the past government was acting at the top of the information pyramid, but this is no longer the case. Professionals and citizens have become more self reliant and active in collecting information. The hierarchical communication structure has been replaced by a network structure. In case the government is not handling this changed situation adequately it is likely to result in loss of authority and of communication efficiency.In this paper results are presented of two studies carried out in the period 2005-2007 involving in total 110 calamities. The general purpose of the study was to analyze the changing communication landscape of risks and calamities in order to provide government authorities with recommendations to improve communication effectiveness e.g. by applying communication instruments adapted to the new situation. In this context the predictability of the size of the media attention for a calamity has been assessed. If media attention can be predicted in an early phase of the calamity this will provide extra reaction time to authorities and may help to e.g. nominate a spokesperson at the right level from the beginning.The results show that media attention can be reasonably well predicted on the basis of a limited number of criteria. Powerful predictive criteria are e.g. economic damage, number of evacuated people, and a general criterion called the magic factor. This is a container criterion including aspects such as newness, hugeness and related aspects which have as common denominator that they stimulate imagination and have a highly emotional content.Although the study focused on external safety calamities the predictive methodology is also applicable for other types of calamities which have similar time-space characteristics, such as terrorist attacks. Media will however never be completely predictable. Therefore intuition, local expertise, and repeated assessment of the likely media attention are needed to come to a reliable overall judgement.

Filtering the Internet: the role of the Dutch government in blocking websites with child pornographic content

The distribution of child pornography on the internet is observed as a major social problem. In the Netherlands a lively political-social discussion has emerged concerning the manner in which this can be prevented. The discussion moves between two polarities. On the one hand the dangers of internet censure are emphasised and on the other hand the need for a clamp down in which every measure seems to be justified. The present government wants to combat child pornography and by doing so answer the moral indignation of society. A means that the Dutch government, and on her behalf the police, uses, is blocking websites with child-pornographic content. The possibilities of the Dutch government to filter effectively, however, are restricted. The accuracy of existing filters is low and it is easy to get around filters. In addition, opportunities are restricted by constitutional rights. A filter that stops all websites with child pornography is bound to stop legal internet traffic too. That is at odds with the constitutional rights of freedom of expression and freedom of information gathering. The realisation of a filter that respects fundamental rights and still is able to block child pornography requires a lot of police manpower. This comes at the expense of the tracking down of criminals who produce and distribute child pornography. Furthermore, it is unknown whether the use of the child-pornography filter leads to the purposes for which they are deployed, such as hindering the sale of child pornography or reducing the abuse of children. The police, therefore, is assigned to a task that requires a considerable amount of time, but the benefits of which are unclear.

International lessons for a comprehensive approach to aftercare. A literature review of evaluation studies on aftercare programs for former prisoners

The Dutch aftercare for former prisoners is strongly developing. This article describes lessons from international experiences with aftercare for former prisoners in three areas of life: alcohol and drug problems, work and housing. Moreover, it discusses which lessons are especially relevant for the Dutch system. The analysis of the literature shows to what extent and under which conditions voluntary aftercare can affect reintegration and recidivism. Conclusions are that various aftercare programs do affect recidivism to some extent, but that the level of success differs substantially across programs and across subpopulations of former prisoners. Both programs that start during detention and continue after release and programs that combine multiple services (e.g. housing services and drug treatment) are most successful. Work programs have the strongest effects for older individuals. In all three areas of aftercare studied in this article, the strongest program effects were found for subpopulations with the highest risk of recidivism. The review also shows that communication between organizations and the integration of services are very important for the success of aftercare programs.

Ten years of publications in the Dutch Journal of Safety Studies

From its beginning in 2002, the Dutch Journal of Safety Studies (JSS) has wanted to be a platform for Dutch and Belgian academic articles about all facets of safety and security. Furthermore the journal wants to be a platform for multidisciplinary articles in which safety and security issues are studied from different and complementary perspectives or academic fields.This article provides a content analysis of all 129 JSS-articles. The analysis shows that the focus of JSS is on matters of social safety (and less on the more ‘technical’ safety issues) and on the organization of safety (functioning of organizations or networks and/or the effectiveness of measures) and less on safety as such. Over the years, a few changes have taken place. (1) In the field of social safety the focus has shifted somewhat from ‘the organization of safety’ towards safety as such. (2) Although the proportion of articles from Belgium is small (5,4%), it has increased over the years. (3) Authors from Dutch universities of applied sciences have published no more than 4 articles (3,1%), the first one of which appeared in Volume 6. After some years, these authors discovered the JSS as a platform for their work.JSS covers a wide range of subjects in the field of safety and how it can be organized. Although most articles stem from criminology and/or public management, JSS contains articles from different academic fields such as criminology, communication, law, psychology, engineering, public management, medical science, etc. However, in one and the same article one does not often find a combination of really different academic perspectives, such as engineering and psychology or informatics and criminology. If the JSS aims to be a truly multidisciplinary journal, it should contain more articles of this kind over the next ten years.

Safety: an ever-expanding concept

A number of authors claim that the Dutch government is using the words safety and security more often and more broadly. In this article we show that this is partly true. By studying the usage of the word safety in the Dutch queen’s speeches, we see that especially from 1999 onwards the speeches do contain more references to safety and security issues. Moreover, more and more topics are defined as a safety and security issue. However, this same study shows that a decline in the use of the words safety and security can be discerned from 2006 onwards. Ideas to understand these fluctuations are presented at the end of the article.

Regional risk profiles for strengthening safety capacities: overview and evaluation against the background of external-safety policies

A regional risk profile (RRP) is a systematic ordering – by likelihood and impact seriousness – of identified hazards and threats in one of the Netherlands’ 25 safety regions. Since 2010, RRPs follow the Dutch National Risk Assessment (NRA) as a basis for prioritising regional safety capacities. In Europe, RRPs are proliferating, and the corresponding risk-assessment approach is further spreading internationally. The methodology comprises risk identification, scenario development, multi-criteria impact evaluation, expert likelihood estimation, a two-dimensional risk diagram and an analysis and prioritisation of safety capabilities. A compact overview and discussion is provided of the 25 published RRPs for the Netherlands, each covering between 9 and 40 hazards and threats, along with their most and least worrying risk scenarios. It appears that for many regions pandemic disease, electricity black-out and major flooding are most worrying, while transport accident, industry fire and disturbance of water supply are (relatively) least worrying. Also, in different regions similar risk scenarios (e.g., pandemic disease and electricity black-out) are assessed rather differently, both by likelihood and by impact seriousness. Apparent weaknesses of the RRP (and the NRA) approach so far are, among other: lack of stakeholder involvement, rigid multi-criteria impact evaluation, hybrid methods for likelihood estimation, forced comparison of disparate risk scenarios, and unclear decision rules for risk acceptance. Independent review and validation of major RRP components is recommended for strengthening overall results as a reliable basis for regional safety policies. The ‘new risk thinking’ is considered in view of the long-problematic standard-setting approach about Individual Risk and Group Risk in the framework of Dutch external-safety policies. The RRP approach may be called ambitious and much-demanding. External validation and closer cooperation between safety policy-makers and scientists seem desirable.
A Memory-Efficient Approach to Cost-Optimized Storage Tiering for Cloud Workloads
Authors: Shah Samarth , Khan Bilal
Published: February 2025

As cloud computing continues to grow, managing and optimizing storage for cloud workloads becomes a crucial challenge. A significant concern in this domain is the cost associated with cloud storage, which can become overwhelming when dealing with vast amounts of data. Traditional storage management methods often fail to adequately address both performance and cost-efficiency, especially in dynamic and fluctuating workloads. This paper proposes a novel memory-efficient approach to cost-optimized storage tiering, designed specifically for cloud environments. The approach focuses on intelligently classifying data and dynamically migrating it across different storage tiers based on both usage patterns and cost considerations. By leveraging memory-efficient algorithms, this method minimizes overheads in managing large-scale datasets, ensuring optimal use of system resources. The solution utilizes machine learning techniques to predict access patterns and proactively allocate storage, balancing both cost and performance. Additionally, by optimizing storage tier assignments, the approach reduces unnecessary data movement, thus minimizing latency and energy consumption. The proposed model not only significantly reduces the overall cost of cloud storage but also maintains high levels of performance for diverse workloads. Experiments and simulations demonstrate that the memory-efficient approach outperforms traditional methods in terms of cost savings and resource utilization, making it an ideal solution for modern cloud environments dealing with increasingly complex and diverse workloads. This work offers an innovative strategy for cost-optimized cloud storage management while addressing scalability and memory efficiency concerns.
Presunción de laboralidad en el trabajo en plataformas digitales: antecedentes y perspectivas tras la propuesta de Directiva
Authors: RODRÍGUEZ ESCANCIANO SUSANA
Published: February 2025

Cierto es que en el mundo de la economía de plataformas la composición de la mano de obra presenta rasgos de marcada heterogeneidad y disímil fisionomía: desde un trabajo manual en un momento y lugar concretos hasta una prestación intelectual, que puede realizarse en cualquier punto del ciberespacio; con un mayor o menor nivel de cualificación.
No menos verdad resulta que el modelo de negocio utilizado en todos los casos pivota sobre el recurso a las nuevas tecnologías on line asistidas por inteligencia artificial que facilitan disponer de grandes grupos de prestadores de servicios a la espera de que un consumidor solicite un cometido a través de una app. Se establece, así, una relación de tipo triangular entre la plataforma, sus trabajadores y los clientes, donde la infraprotección de la persona trabajadora nace de la voluntad de la parte contractual fuerte por eludir, bordeando la legalidad, su inclusión en el ámbito del Derecho del Trabajo al recurrir como pantalla a la figura del trabajo autónomo.
No cabe olvidar que es la plataforma, y no las personas trabajadoras, la que adopta todas las decisiones concernientes a la oferta del servicio, fijando precios y tarifas, estipulando los términos y condiciones de la actividad, determinando mercados y zonas geográficas de actuación, entablando relaciones comerciales con empresas clientes, cobrando el precio directamente a tales clientes, estableciendo estrategias de marketing y utilizando la marca propia para la oferta del servicio.
No es extraño, por tanto, que a nivel nacional y europeo se haya apostado por una presunción iuris tantum de laboralidad. Ahora bien, mientras la orientación hacia la existencia del contrato de trabajo se restringe en la Ley española a las plataformas de reparto, la Directiva amplía el ámbito a todas las plataformas digitales, olvidando la denominación que hayan convenido las partes.
Bases para la armonización de la diligencia debida en derechos humanos. análisis de la Directiva sobre diligencia debida
Authors: GORELLI HERNÁNDEZ JUAN
Published: February 2025

Tras un largo proceso de elaboración, finalmente contamos con la Directiva de diligencia debida; un instrumento de la Unión Europea, dirigido a la tutela de los derechos humanos de ciudadanos afectados por sistemas productivos basados en la externalización globalizada a nivel mundial. Tras el análisis de los antecedentes de esta regulación, este trabajo se centra en el estudio de los principales elementos de la Directiva. De entrada, el concepto de diligencia debida, que no se facilita por la Directiva, sino que debemos deducir del contenido de las obligaciones que regula; un contenido, por lo demás, bastante amplio y complejo.
Otro aspecto interesante es el ámbito de aplicación de la Directiva: probablemente esta cuestión ha sido el principal problema en el procedimiento de aprobación. Finalmente, se ha optado por afectar exclusivamente a grandes (muy grandes) empresas, disminuyendo así la eficacia protectora de la Directiva. Pero, quizás el aspecto más atractivo de esta regulación reside en la posibilidad de exigir responsabilidad (administrativa y civil) a las empresas incumplidoras de la obligación de diligencia debida.
Exploring interface phenomena
Authors: Vega Vilanova Jorge , Fischer Susann
Published: February 2025

In order to choose among different methods when collecting linguistic data, many different factors should be considered. We will argue that the choice of the most appropriate methods depends on whether a construction applies within one linguistic module (e.g. syntax) or whether it applies at the interface of modules (e.g. syntax and information-structure). While Grammaticality Judgement Tasks (GJT) yield unambiguous results when applied to core-grammatical modules, they often produce inaccurate results when applied to interface-phenomena. Thus, GJTs can be used in order to distinguish between the two types of phenomena, however, in order to get reliable results concerning interface phenomena, other methods seem to be more effective – e.g. a Translation Task with elicited primed items. To demonstrate the suitability of these methods for core vs. interface phenomena, we discuss data on dative clitic doubling (an interface phenomenon) in different Spanish varieties and clitic placement and clitic doubling (core and interface phenomena) in Bulgarian Judeo-Spanish.

Published: February 2025

Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão sistemática sobre os efeitos do exercício físico no controle e prevenção da hipertensão arterial (HA), uma condição crônica prevalente e um fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares. A pesquisa seguiu as diretrizes PRISMA e incluiu estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, com ênfase em ensaios clínicos, meta-análises e revisões sobre os tipos de exercício mais eficazes no controle da pressão arterial. A busca foi realizada nas bases PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar e Lilacs, utilizando os termos "exercício físico", "hipertensão", "pressão arterial", "controle" e "prevenção". Os resultados indicam que o exercício físico regular, especialmente os aeróbicos e o HIIT (treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade), é eficaz na redução da pressão arterial, promovendo melhorias na saúde cardiovascular e estabilização das flutuações da pressão. A combinação de exercícios aeróbicos com resistência também apresentou benefícios superiores no controle da hipertensão, impactando positivamente a composição corporal e a aptidão cardiorrespiratória. As evidências sugerem que a prescrição de exercício deve ser personalizada, levando em conta a intensidade, frequência e duração dos programas, além das características individuais dos pacientes. Este estudo contribui com orientações práticas para profissionais de saúde e pacientes, destacando o exercício físico como uma estratégia acessível, eficaz e não farmacológica para o manejo da hipertensão arterial.

Neste estudo, avaliou-se o impacto do envelhecimento em tonéis de carvalho americano, castanha-do-pará, amburana e bálsamo sobre o perfil químico, antioxidante e cromatográfico da cachaça ao longo de 12 meses. A cachaça recém-destilada utilizada apresentou grau alcoólico e teores de álcoois superiores acima dos limites legais, enquanto os demais parâmetros atenderam à Instrução Normativa MAPA n° 13/2005. O teor de furfural apresentou variações significativas durante o envelhecimento, com aumentos de 161,84% (carvalho), 247,30% (castanheira), 233,33% (amburana) e 192,68% (bálsamo). Os barris de castanheira, amburana e bálsamo, sendo de primeiro uso, contribuíram para os maiores ganhos de furfural. Os teores de furfural nos diferentes barris variaram entre 0,63 e 1,83 mg/100 mL de álcool anidro, dependendo do tipo de madeira. O potencial antioxidante foi avaliado por meio da descoloração do DPPH nos extratos alcoólicos e aquosos. Para os extratos alcoólicos, a descoloração variou de 3,19% a 27,02%, com os barris de bálsamo apresentando os maiores valores finais. Nos extratos aquosos, os valores oscilaram entre 0,00% e 1,59%, novamente com o bálsamo destacando-se como a madeira que proporcionou o maior potencial antioxidante. Os resultados indicam que o tipo de madeira utilizada no envelhecimento da cachaça influencia diretamente seu perfil químico e propriedades antioxidantes, com destaque para os barris de bálsamo em ambos os aspectos.

Fez-se uma análise comparativa entre os sistemas de common law e civil law apresentando-se os contextos histórico-político, social e econômico de cada um deles. Abordou-se como o ativismo jurídico interfere na prestação jurisdicional, trazendo visões positivas e negativas sobre o tema. O presente artigo aborda ainda a hipótese de que a transformação das funções das Cortes Supremas e formação dos precedentes vinculantes podem ser entendidos como um eficaz mecanismo de contenção do ativismo judicial. O método adotado foi dedutivo com o uso de pesquisas dogmáticas. Ao fim, conclui-se que os precedentes vinculantes é um meio eficaz para conter o ativismo judicial – aqui no sentido de uma atuação descontrolada e sem delimitações que pode comprometer a separação dos poderes e gerar insegurança jurídica.

Este estudo buscou analisar os impactos de temperaturas sobre a demanda e os custos operacionais dos mototaxistas em Patos, Paraíba, visto que é uma cidade marcada por condições térmicas extremas. A coleta dos dados foi realizada durante quatro semanas do mês de novembro, notando a quilometragem percorrida pelos prestadores de serviço e a temperatura durante a coleta, a mesma foi realizada em duas praças de mototáxi, localizadas no centro de Patos. Na praça A, que é associada à feira livre, a demanda diminui com o aumento da temperatura, mas cresce em datas comemorativas, enquanto na praça B, que é associada a áreas climatizadas e de mais conforto, a demanda manteve-se mais constante, mas também apresentou redução em temperaturas amenas. Os custos operacionais variaram bastante, chegando aos 60% em momentos de baixa demanda. Conclui-se que a temperatura influencia diretamente na escolha do usuário sobre o meio de locomoção, sugerindo o reajuste dos mototaxistas sobre suas operações com base nas condições climáticas para maximizar a sua rentabilidade.

Atendimentos em grupo são estratégias amplamente empregadas na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) para ampliar o acesso, promover a interação entre os participantes e aumentar a adesão às propostas terapêuticas. O grupo Hiperdia é uma ferramenta utilizada em diversas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) para o acompanhamento de pacientes com hipertensão arterial sistêmica e diabetes mellitus. Este relato descreve a experiência de implementação de um grupo Hiperdia em uma Equipe de Saúde da Família (ESF), localizada no bairro Estrutural, em Brasília – uma região de alta vulnerabilidade social. O texto discute os benefícios e desafios enfrentados durante a condução do grupo, além das adaptações realizadas ao longo do processo. Entre os benefícios, podemos citar a possibilidade de fixar intervalos interconsultas e interação entre os participantes, melhorando a adesão aos tratamentos propostos. Por outro lado, existem desafios como atrasos frequentes, demandas que fugiam do escopo do grupo e dificuldades no acesso a exames laboratoriais, fatores que nos mostraram a necessidade de ajustes na estratégia inicial. Este relato contribui para o debate sobre o uso dos grupos Hiperdia na APS como forma de otimizar o cuidado destas comorbidades.
Resíduos recicláveis descartados como rejeitos: composição e análise econômica

Published: February 2025

Os resíduos sólidos que não possuem viabilidade técnica e/ou econômica de tratamento e recuperação são considerados como rejeitos, conhecer sua composição é fundamental para planejar políticas públicas que minimizem sua geração. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os rejeitos do processo de triagem da coleta seletiva no município de Umuarama/PR. Os resíduos coletados foram avaliados por 30 dias (agosto/2019), para determinar: a quantidade mensal de rejeitos gerados, a composição gravimétrica e realizar a análise econômica.  Contabilizou-se 85,9 toneladas de resíduos, e deste, 23,36% foram rejeitados pela triagem. Entre os rejeitos, os materiais mais frequentes foram polímeros 2 e têxteis/couros. Os rejeitos, descartados pela cooperativa, mas passíveis de serem comercializados (35,83%), apresentaram uma perda/desperdício de R$ 2.847,51 mensais. O restante, 64,17% dos rejeitos, deveriam ser destinados diretamente para o aterro sanitário. Essas informações são importantes para melhorias na gestão de resíduos sólidos urbanos que são encaminhados para a coleta seletiva.

O prolapso genital é uma condição ginecológica que diminui drasticamente a qualidade de vida das mulheres interferindo no estado físico e mental. Com o envelhecimento populacional, a patologia tende a ser cada vez mais prevalente e apresenta considerável importância no bem-estar da população feminina. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico das pacientes internadas por prolapso genital no Brasil entre os anos de 2019 e 2023. Os dados foram alcançados por meio dos registros do Sistema de Internações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH/SUS), cedidos pelo Ministério da Saúde. Demonstrou-se que houve um total de 158.268 internamentos no período analisado, sendo o maior número no ano de 2023 com 45.765 notificações. A faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos (25,97%) e a etnia parda (49,87%) foram as mais atingidas. O Nordeste foi a região com os números mais expressivos em casos notificados (60.773) e financeiramente (R$ 34.388.851,00). Já o caráter de atendimento eletivo predominou com 128.534 casos. A exposição dos achados epidemiológicos alerta para a necessidade de construção de estratégias de saúde pública que possam intervir na crescente do quadro e fornecer uma assistência de qualidade.
Musemô: aplicativo de mapeamento do acervo de moda
Authors: Pelati Sabrina Santos
Published: February 2025

O acervo de moda no Brasil é marcado por sua diversidade e relevância cultural, desempenhando um papel fundamental na construção da identidade nacional. No entanto, a preservação desse patrimônio enfrenta desafios significativos, como a falta de um modelo padronizado para a catalogação de itens e a escassez de exposições dedicadas à moda nos museus brasileiros. Esses fatores contribuem para a inacessibilidade das informações e para a ausência de um acervo consolidado, dificultando o estudo e a valorização da moda como expressão histórica e cultural. Diante desse cenário, este estudo tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um aplicativo para mapear os acervos de moda na cidade de São Paulo, promovendo a conexão entre instituições e o público interessado. A metodologia adotada envolveu a contextualização histórica dos museus de moda na Europa e no Brasil, o levantamento e mapeamento dos acervos paulistanos relacionados à moda e a definição de critérios para a organização das coleções dentro do aplicativo. Como referência, foram utilizados estudos sobre museologia da moda e pesquisas sobre a preservação e exposição de indumentária nos museus brasileiros. Com isso, o estudo busca contribuir para a ampliação da visibilidade e acessibilidade do patrimônio da moda no país.
Analysis and testing of an indoor navigation system
Authors: Wędzonka Aleksander , Kaniewski Piotr
Published: February 2025

The implemented indoor navigation system underwent testing to evaluate its performance in various environmental conditions,both in the absence of UWB signal propagation disturbances and in the presence of such disturbances. These tests aimed toassess the accuracy of position and velocity estimation by the integrated INS/UWB system. The conducted studies confirmed that thesystem effectively estimates user position and velocity coordinates. Research results under conditions without UWB signal propagationdisturbances show that the system is capable of determining object position with a centimetre-level accuracy. However, even in the presenceof signal propagation disturbances, the accuracy remains at a very high level, with errors not exceeding several centimetres. As aresult, the estimated position determined by the INS/UWB system faithfully reflects the actual user movement paths indoors.
