Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the most evolving areas of saving actions that improve the survival rates following cardiac arrest and educating high school students can play a dynamic role in case of emergencies in society. Education of school students in CPR is a strategic goal for the improvement of bystander CPR in rural society. If adolescents were trained to perform CPR during school physical education hours, this may be a cost-effective approach to CPR training. This study is conducted to assess the effectiveness of health education in the improvement of knowledge of CPR among school-going adolescents. Aim: To assess the effect of a training program on students’ knowledge of CPR. Objective: (A) To determine the background knowledge of high school students about cardiac arrest and basic life support in adult victims of cardiac arrest. (B) To determine the association between knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and skills with selected demographic variables. Materials and methods: This is a quasi-experimental study conducted among adolescents aged 13–15 years attending schools in rural areas of South India. The study was conducted between Jan 2022 and Jan 2023. 680 students were included in this study. The universal sampling method was used to enumerate the participants to reduce the impact of the dropout rate. The data was collected using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire by interview method. Basic teaching of CPR for the participants included 2 hours of oral teaching using lecture method, question and answer discussion method as well as 2 hours of practical session using demonstration, practice on a manikin, provision of feedback and correction of errors. Results: A total of 680 participants were grouped into three categories according to their knowledge scores: (A) fair, (B) Moderate, and (C) Good scores obtained in pre-training observation and post-training observation. Initially, there were 666 (97.9%) in the fair category, most of them improved after training as seen in the post-training observation results, with 97 (14.3%) persons in the fair (A) category. There was not a single student in the good category of the score before intervention, which increased to 665 (45.6%) in the good category of knowledge. The mean score of pre-training is 2.55, and the post-training score is significantly increased to 9.5. Conclusion: An improvement is observed in knowledge of CPR post-training with planned teaching and demonstration. Hence, this method can be considered a logical solution for improving knowledge about CPR in cases of emergency life-saving skills in a particular group of society.

Sealants for pits, fissures, and occlusal surfaces are an effective preventive measure against occlusal caries in children, especially those from low-income backgrounds who have the highest DMFT index (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth). The objective of this study is to demonstrate, through a literature review, the importance of sealant application for a better prognosis and lower incidence of occlusal caries in children. The methodology employed involves searching for articles from the past 10 years (2013-2023) on the LILACS platform, using keywords such as "sealant and caries prevention," "childhood caries and low income," and "childhood caries and social inequality." Additionally, national studies such as SB Brazil 2003 and SB Brazil 2010 were included. As a result, it is evident that the implementation of preventive sealants in childhood has proven to be an effective and non-invasive method for preventing childhood caries by forming a physical barrier between the vulnerable occlusal surface and the oral environment
Virtual Lives
Authors: Ivory James D.
Published: December 2023

This book is the THE source for information on virtual worlds, covering every aspect of this intriguing and fast-changing social practice and the technologies upon which it rests.

Virtual Lives: A Reference Handbook describes the history, development, and role of virtual worlds, also known as virtual environments and immersive virtual environments. It provides detailed background about virtual worlds and their societal impact, from early precursors and inspirations to the latest trends and developments. Specifics on user demographics are included, as are descriptions of virtual worlds' functions, discussion of societal concerns and opportunities, and information about relevant research data and key persons and organizations.

Although virtual worlds in their current form are a relatively new phenomenon, other online social environments have served as precursors for decades and literary inspirations go back even further. This handbook therefore covers some early developments dating back to the mid-20th century. Its primary focus, however, is on developments since the mid-1990s and especially on the current state and social impact of virtual worlds, including their impact both in the United States and around the world.

Keskustelupuheenvuoro tarkastelee markkinakurin historiaa Euroopan talous- ja raha-liitossa erityisesti siihen liittyvien puhetapojen näkökulmasta. Puheenvuoro esittää, että markkinakuri on euroalueen taloushallinnan kontekstissa tulkittava zombi-ideana eli toistuvasti poliittisessa keskustelussa esiin nousevana mutta akateemisesti epäuskottavana politiikkaideana. Puheenvuoro tarkastelee markkinakuri-zombin historiaa siihen kytkeytyvien poliittisten kiistojen näkökulmasta. Yhtäältä kiistat ovat koskeneet sitä, onko markkinakuri suotava talousohjauksen mekanismi ja pitäisikö euroalueen jäsenmaihin kohdistua markkinakuria. Toisaalta on kiistelty siitä, kohdistuuko jäsenmaihin tosiasiallisesti markkinakuria ja onko tämä ylipäänsä mahdollista. Keskustelupuheenvuoro osoittaa, miten suhtautuminen molempiin kysymyksiin on elänyt euroalueen historiallisten käänteiden mukana.
Agathon Meurmans finnischsprachige Enzyklopädie (1883–1890) als Wissensspeicher und ideologisches Kampfinstrument
Authors: Pantermöller Marko
Published: December 2023

The article is dedicated to the first universal encyclopaedic dictionary in Finnish. The Sanakirja yleiseen sivistykseen kuuluvia tietoja varten 1883–1819 (‘Dictionary of General Knowledge’) was written by Agathon Meurman, one of the most influential and versatile conservative politicians of his time. Earlier lexicographichistorical discussions of this work have included exemplary enumerations of lemmatic gaps, recurring examples of selected dictionary articles conceived in an ideologically tendentious manner, and brief references to possible lexicographic sources. One such source, most commonly invoked as crucial to Meurman’s work, is the so called Kleiner Meyer, or Meyers Hand-Lexikon des allgemeinen Wissens 1871–1872. Meurman's lexicon, however, has not yet been systematically studied regarding specific lexicographical questions, such as lemma selection, or the structuring and presentation of information. This article examines in detail the literature-related lemma inventory of Meurman’s dictionary to answer the following questions: 1) To what extent did the author's political and ideological views find its way into the first Finnish encyclopaedia? 2) How was the information ideologically filtered and selected for presentation? The analysis begins with documenting the genesis of Meurman’s dictionary, partly on the basis of previously unused historical sources. Then, for the first time, a reliable identification of the sources used by Meurman is undertaken. Only with a solid basis for comparison is it possible to adequately analyse, both quantitatively and qualitatively, Meurman’s way of presenting literary knowledge in a broader biblio-cultural context. The result confirms that his work can be classified as an instrument of ideological struggle, and reveals ethically questionable procedures. However, the close comparison of sources also casts a critical spotlight on the perception of Meurman’s dictionary as a special case in the history of encyclopaedic writing.

Published: December 2023

O Brasil classifica o aborto como crime conforme o Código Penal de 1940, entretanto, essa legislação não reflete as mudanças sociais contemporâneas e pode prejudicar a autonomia das mulheres. Sob tal ótica, este artigo tem por objetivo compreender como o estudo da Criminologia Feminista Marxista pode contribuir para o debate sobre a descriminalização do aborto. O presente estudo consistiu em análise bibliográfica de livros, artigos e revistas literárias, utilizando-se do método dedutivo para avaliar a situação geral do tema em questão.  O estudo consistiu em uma pesquisa qualitativa. A análise se estende à discussão entre o Código Penal e os Direitos Humanos, examinando as implicações da criminalização do aborto à luz desses direitos. Posteriormente, são problematizados os conceitos formulados pela vertente feminista, especialmente no que diz respeito ao estudo de gênero e ao aborto, enfatizando a importância da autodeterminação da mulher. Os conceitos e teorias fundamentais da criminologia feminista marxista ressalta a análise crítica das desigualdades de gênero e poder. Por fim, o artigo relaciona a discussão sobre a descriminalização do aborto à perspectiva criminológica marxista, sugerindo uma abordagem que considera as estruturas sociais e econômicas subjacentes. Após a análise tornou-se evidente que a legislação vigente não apenas se revela ineficaz na diminuição do número de abortos, mas também restringe a autonomia das mulheres para exercerem seus direitos sexuais e reprodutivos, conforme estipulado pela lei. Acredita-se que esta pesquisa pode propiciar reflexão acerca da descriminalização do aborto no Brasil em comparação com a legislação. Complementa-se, que o presente estudo possa servir de inspiração para estudos mais avançados sobre o tema.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Tropospheric chlorine chemistry can strongly impact the atmospheric oxidation capacity and composition, especially in urban environments. To account for these reactions, the gas- and aqueous-phase Cl chemistry of the community atmospheric chemistry box model Chemistry As A Boxmodel Application/Module Efficiently Calculating the Chemistry of the Atmosphere (CAABA/MECCA) has been extended. In particular, an explicit mechanism for ClNO2 formation following N2O5 uptake to aerosols has been developed. The updated model has been applied to two urban environments with different concentrations of NOx (NO + NO2): New Delhi (India) and Leicester (United Kingdom). The model shows a sharp build-up of Cl at sunrise through Cl2 photolysis in both the urban environments. Besides Cl2 photolysis, ClO+NO reaction and photolysis of ClNO2 and ClONO are also prominent sources of Cl in Leicester. High-NOx conditions in Delhi tend to suppress the nighttime build-up of N2O5 due to titration of O3 and thus lead to lower ClNO2, in contrast to Leicester. Major loss of ClNO2 is through its uptake on chloride, producing Cl2, which consequently leads to the formation of Cl through photolysis. The reactivities of Cl and OH are much higher in Delhi; however, the Cl/OH reactivity ratio is up to ≈ 9 times greater in Leicester. The contribution of Cl to the atmospheric oxidation capacity is significant and even exceeds (by ≈ 2.9 times) that of OH during the morning hours in Leicester. Sensitivity simulations suggest that the additional consumption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to active gas- and aqueous-phase chlorine chemistry enhances OH, HO2, and RO2 near sunrise. The simulation results of the updated model have important implications for future studies on atmospheric chemistry and urban air quality.
Cloud top heights and aerosol columnar properties from combined EarthCARE lidar and imager observations: the AM-CTH and AM-ACD products

Published: December 2023

Abstract. The Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) is a combination of multiple active and passive instruments on a single platform. The Atmospheric Lidar (ATLID) provides vertical information of clouds and aerosol particles along the satellite track. In addition, the Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI) collects multi-spectral information from the visible to the infrared wavelengths over a swath width of 150 km across the track. The ATLID–MSI Column Products processor (AM-COL) described in this paper combines the high vertical resolution of the lidar along track and the horizontal resolution of the imager across track to better characterize a three-dimensional scene. ATLID Level 2a (L2a) data from the ATLID Layer Products processor (A-LAY), MSI L2a data from the MSI Cloud Products processor (M-CLD) and the MSI Aerosol Optical Thickness processor (M-AOT), and MSI Level 1c (L1c) data are used as input to produce the synergistic columnar products: the ATLID–MSI Cloud Top Height (AM-CTH) and the ATLID–MSI Aerosol Column Descriptor (AM-ACD). The coupling of ATLID (measuring at 355 nm) and MSI (at ≥670 nm) provides multi-spectral observations of the aerosol properties. In particular, the Ångström exponent from the spectral aerosol optical thickness (AOT 355/670 nm) adds valuable information for aerosol typing. The AOT across track, the Ångström exponent and the dominant aerosol type are stored in the AM-ACD product. The accurate detection of the cloud top height (CTH) with lidar is limited to the ATLID track. The difference in the CTH detected by ATLID and retrieved by MSI is calculated along track. The similarity of MSI pixels across track with those along track is used to transfer the calculated CTH difference to the entire MSI swath. In this way, the accuracy of the CTH is increased to achieve the EarthCARE mission's goal of deriving the radiative flux at the top of the atmosphere with an accuracy of 10 W m−2 for a 100 km2 snapshot view of the atmosphere. The synergistic CTH difference is stored in the AM-CTH product. The quality status is provided with the products. It depends, e.g., on day/night conditions and the presence of multiple cloud layers. The algorithm was successfully tested using the common EarthCARE test scenes. Two definitions of the CTH from the model truth cloud extinction fields are compared: an extinction-based threshold of 20 Mm−1 provides the geometric CTH, and a cloud optical thickness threshold of 0.25 describes the radiative CTH. The first CTH definition was detected with ATLID and the second one with MSI. The geometric CTH is always higher than or equal to the radiative CTH.

TOWARDS ENERGY ATLAS OF SOFIA CITY IN BULGARIA
Authors: Vitanova L. L. , Petrova-Antonova D. , Hristov P. O. , Shirinyan E.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. This paper proposes the first energy atlas of Sofia in Bulgaria. The research uses a geographical information system (GIS) approach and a statistical tolerance methodology to estimate building energy consumption. The buildings were classified into ten categories, and tolerance intervals were computed, which provide a distribution-free summary for the consumption in each class, suitable for spatial visualisation. GIS is used to classify and visualise the results. The results show a clear contrast in the energy consumption between buildings in highly urbanised areas and those in the suburbs. It was found that the high energy consumption belongs to the areas where the shopping, commercial, industrial and sports buildings are located and already developed. The energy consumption bounds were used to enrich a semantic 3D city model of Sofia. This model can be used for further analysis of energy supply, climate change, urban heat islands, and urban health as well as for calculating the climate scenarios. An extensive outline of the utility and directions for future development of the atlas are provided.

Authors: Cao Y. , Scaioni M.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Both machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms require high-quality training samples as well as precise and thorough annotations in order to work effectively. The 3D building indoor-outdoor dataset (BIO dataset), which is a highly accurate, high level of detail, and high coverage dataset for 3D building point cloud and mesh semantic segmentation, is established as a canonical benchmark dataset. It contains 100 building models, in which building structural elements are annotated into 11 semantic categories. Each building in this dataset has an average of 75,587 triangular faces, and the total area of the dataset is 481,769 square meters. Furthermore, semantic segmentation of the dataset was carried out using the Random Forest ML algorithm to verify the dataset’s accessibility. A weighted F1 score of 96.64% was obtained with 10% of the segments of each building randomly chosen as training data. For applications involving building geometry data, the BIO dataset can support a broad class of recently developed ML and DL methodologies.
TELCO GEOBIGDATA FOR THE ANALYSIS OF PRESENCES AND MOVEMENTS: THE 2023 “ADUNATA DEGLI ALPINI” IN UDINE

Published: December 2023

Abstract. The GEO Big Data phenomenon has become a central topic in the innovation debate. Understanding the presence and movement of individuals within a geographical area is crucial in many fields: urban planning, transport systems, emergencies, tourism, events, … In the last few years a new source of information to reconstruct the dynamics of such complex systems are the data acquired from cellular phone that trace presences and movements with high precision. For privacy issues the data are sold geographically aggregated by TELCO companies. The study of the dynamics of incoming and outgoing, number of trips, number of days and nights spent, number of unique visitors, country of residence and origin, main destination, secondary destination, transit and repeated visits have been analysed for the annual gathering of the ALPINI held in May 2023 in Udine. This work demonstrates how accurate this information is and how it can be used, in addition to analysing the previous edition, to plan locations, logistics, and agendas for future editions.
TOWARDS LARGE-SCALE BUILDING ATTRIBUTE MAPPING USING CROWDSOURCED IMAGES: SCENE TEXT RECOGNITION ON FLICKR AND PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
Authors: Sun Y. , Kruspe A. , Meng L. , Tian Y. , Hoffmann E. J. , Auer S. , Zhu X. X.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Crowdsourced platforms provide huge amounts of street-view images that contain valuable building information. This work addresses the challenges in applying Scene Text Recognition (STR) in crowdsourced street-view images for building attribute mapping. We use Flickr images, particularly examining texts on building facades. A Berlin Flickr dataset is created, and pre-trained STR models are used for text detection and recognition. Manual checking on a subset of STR-recognized images demonstrates high accuracy. We examined the correlation between STR results and building functions, and analysed instances where texts were recognized on residential buildings but not on commercial ones. Further investigation revealed significant challenges associated with this task, including small text regions in street-view images, the absence of ground truth labels, and mismatches in buildings in Flickr images and building footprints in OpenStreetMap (OSM). To develop city-wide mapping beyond urban hotspot locations, we suggest differentiating the scenarios where STR proves effective while developing appropriate algorithms or bringing in additional data for handling other cases. Furthermore, interdisciplinary collaboration should be undertaken to understand the motivation behind building photography and labeling. The STR-on-Flickr results are publicly available at https://github.com/ya0-sun/STR-Berlin.
STUDY ON AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION METHOD OF SOURCE DATA FOR CIM BUILDING MODEL CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Ran S. , Cai G.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The City Information Model (CIM) is a digital model designed to describe, analyze, and manage urban spatial information. It integrates various urban elements, providing decision support for urban planning, design, and management. This study focuses on the construction of building models in CIM, particularly the issue of automatic registration of source data. We propose an automatic registration method based on DWG-format architectural design drawings and SHAPE-format remote sensing building outline information. This method extracts the axis line information of the building from the plan design drawings, indirectly obtains feature points, and selects registration base points, thereby achieving the registration of real estate subdivision data. Meanwhile, by automatically fitting the outer bounding rectangle of the building and dynamically adjusting the angle, this study realizes the automatic registration of the aligned multilayer real estate subdivision data with the building outline data obtained from remote sensing images. This research provides an effective method for the automatic and batch accurate alignment of data for the construction of CIM building models, thereby enhancing the precision and reliability of the modeling.
Characterization of atmospheric methane release in the outer Mackenzie River delta from biogenic and thermogenic sources
Authors: Wesley Daniel , Dallimore Scott , MacLeod Roger , Sachs Torsten , Risk David
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The Mackenzie River delta is the second largest Arctic river delta in the world. Thin and destabilizing permafrost coupled with vast natural gas reserves at depth, high organic-content soils, and a high proportion of wetlands create a unique ecosystem conducive to high rates of methane (CH4) emission from biogenic and thermogenic sources. Hotspots are known to have a significant contribution to summertime CH4 emissions in the region. Still, little research has been done to determine how often geologic or biogenic CH4 contributes to hotspots in the Mackenzie River delta. In the present study, stable carbon isotope analysis was used to identify the source of CH4 at several aquatic and terrestrial sites thought to be hotspots of CH4 flux to the atmosphere. Walking transects and point samples of atmospheric CH4 and CO2 concentrations were measured. Source stable carbon isotope (δ13C-CH4) signatures were derived from keeling plots of point samples and ranged from −42 ‰ to −88 ‰ δ13C-CH4, identifying both biogenic and thermogenic sources. A CH4 source was determined for eight hotspots, two of which were thermogenic in origin (−42.5 ‰, −44.7 ‰), four of which were biogenic in origin (−71.9 ‰ to −88.3 ‰), and two of which may have been produced by the oxidation of biogenic CH4 (−53.0 ‰, −63.6 ‰), as evidenced by δ13C-CH4 signatures. This indicates that the largest hotspots of CH4 production in the Mackenzie River delta are caused by a variety of sources.

Բողոքի անուղղակի արտահայտման լեզվական առանձնահատկությունները հայերեն համացանցային խոսույթում / Linguistic Analysis of Indirect Complaint Expression in Armenian Internet Discourse
Authors: YEGHIAZARYAN GAYANE , AVETISYAN ANNA
Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to define the levels of complaint indirectness and investigate the linguistic means of indirect complaint expression within Armenian Internet discourse. The study not only scrutinizes the diverse types of complaints but also delves into the linguistic means for their indirect expression.
The topicality of this article arises from the prevailing tendency to voice complaints
indirectly in Internet discourse and its potential influence on users.
The selection of linguistic analysis methods is justified by the nature of the studied
material and the aim of the research. The examination of the material was carried out
through linguistic descriptive analysis.
The research findings led us to conclude that the users express their complaints based on the scale of the indirectness levels suggested by J. House and G. Kasper. A number of linguistic means play a pivotal role in the skilful implementation of indirect
complaint expression. Notably, lexical and phrasal units with negative connotations that
are typical of the colloquial speech, along with the frequent use of negative constructions and indirect questions, are prominent in this regard. Additionally, diverse punctuation marks are employed in complaints to add subtlety to indirect complaint expressions, with sarcasm being a commonly observed characteristic in such instances.

The purpose of this article is to reveal the results of the correlation analysis of emotional intelligence and aggressiveness of servicemen (contract, active duty, noncommissioned officers, junior and senior officers) who participated and did not participate in the 2020 44-day Artsakh war, bringing forward the hypothesis that the degree of combat activity of a serviceman in a combat situation is directly proportional to their psychological stability particularly with the level of emotional intelligence and the manifestation of aggressiveness. The evidence of combat activity is associated with mental, psychological and physical tasks, which are caused both by changes in the methods and means of warfare, as well as by abruptness, negative information, psychological and other psycho-emotional influences. Therefore, considering aforementioned conditions, the study of the factors that encourage military personnel to combat activity is a priority. Based on the purpose of the article, the following questions arise: to study and experimentally identify the average indicators of emotional intelligence and aggressiveness of military personnel who participated in combat operations, to
identify the correlational features of these psychological factors by drawing appropriate
conclusions. As a result of psychological testing (N. Hall's emotional intelligence, BassPerry aggressiveness diagnostic methods) and statistical analysis («Excell-2010»,
«SPSS-26» programs), we came to a conclusion that the factor of emotional intelligence
of servicemen is directly and inversely correlated with the components of aggressiveness.
In addition, the level of emotional intelligence of servicemen and the manifestation of
aggressiveness are determined by the impact of war stress factors.
Es más fácil recordar que ordenar la realidad. Lo que dijo el trueno (2022) de Fernando Díaz San Miguel
Authors: Arroyo Carvajal Yordan
Published: December 2023

Este artículo analiza las funciones estéticas de la memoria, los recuerdos y los sueños en la novela Lo que dijo el trueno (2022) de Fernando Díaz San Miguel. La primera parte, a partir de ciertos datos introductorios de la novela en cuestión, entre ellos, algunos de sus rasgos posmodernos, se interesa en la pervivencia de T. S. Eliot en el campo literario. En la segunda, por un lado, se desarrolla una breve historia de las teorías posmodernas aunadas al concepto de postnacionalidad y por otro, de los Cultural Memory Studies junto a algunas nociones de interés para el análisis literario. En la tercera y última, se sistematizan algunas funciones de la memoria en cinco categorías y se analizan algunos fragmentos representativos. Como parte de los resultados, el recurso de la memoria se articula, desde un episteme posmoderno, con algunas de las funciones de los sueños y los recuerdos en la novela en estudio para construir una propuesta estética cuya característica principal es la presencia de tensos diálogos ontológicos entre realidad y ficción, característica común en las metaficciones históricas.
El “mundo actual” en una obra de Diana de Paco Serrano: análisis de la incomunicación en Su tabaco, gracias (2002)
Authors: Montalvo Mareca Sergio
Published: December 2023

Este artículo se centra en el estudio de una pieza breve escrita por la dramaturga Diana de Paco Serrano. A través del texto, Su tabaco, gracias (2002), la autora presenta, sin renunciar al humor crudo que caracteriza su teatro, el proceso de enloquecimiento de Miguel, quien sufre las consecuencias de una nueva sociedad donde los individuos ya no se escuchan. Con el teatro clásico como telón de fondo, la dramaturga presenta aquí una nueva tragedia, de carácter urbano y contemporánea en el tiempo, que habla sobre la incomunicación humana, el impacto de la tecnología y sus consecuencias sobre los individuos.
Acercamiento panorámico en español a lo estudiado sobre las infancias trans en los últimos 22 años (2000-2022)
Authors: Pleitez Herrera Miguel Ángel
Published: December 2023

Investigar y aportar sobre las infancias trans es una tarea compleja en la cual hay que transitar y situarse desde posturas deconstruidas multi y trans disciplinarias dado que el discurso actual sobre ello, aún tiene remanentes de prácticas hegemónicas, patologizadoras y normalizantes. Este artículo presenta una revisión bibliográfica panorámica que tuvo por objetivo determinar los estudios realizados alrededor de las infancias trans en el lapso del 2000 al 2022 según las publicaciones alojadas en los repositorios académicos de Dialnet, Google Académico, Mendeley y Redalic. Entre los principales hallazgos se tiene que antes del 2013 no hay estudios realizados sobre la temática (aspecto que coincide con las crisis y transformaciones jurisprudenciales a nivel internacional) y que de las publicaciones consultadas los principales ejes de discusión han sido la despatologización de las infancias trans, transformaciones normativas y de políticas públicas, prácticas y convivencia en el contexto escolar, educación sexual integral y el acompañamiento familiar y comunitario. Esta revisión se propone como un acercamiento que dé cuenta de las áreas de oportunidad y vacíos que se tienen sobre el estudio de esta población para potenciar espectros de investigación e intervención en los países.

A relevância da comunicação interativa para a divulgação e a valorização dos bens patrimoniais

Published: December 2023

O reconhecimento do patrimônio é resultado de consenso e está em construção porque ele existe em função de uma sociedade em permanente transformação. Consenso resulta de uma comunicação efetiva e os recursos utilizados evoluíram de forma acentuada porque os diálogos estão mais dinâmicos e interativos como consequência de um mundo digital e globalizado. A capacidade de reconhecimento do patrimônio cultural depende de uma interlocução com a sociedade e para tanto, é necessário que essas as novas ferramentas de comunicação sejam usadas para aproximar as instituições, de pesquisa e salvaguarda, de uma sociedade que reconheça nos bens patrimoniais o valor da própria cultura. O artigo pretende conferir se as tecnologias digitais usadas para analisar, restaurar objetos históricos e artísticos ou para criar um banco de dados estão sendo também utilizadas em programas que têm o potencial de transmitir informações, objetivando criar um vínculo entre a sociedade e seu patrimônio. Ao verificar os dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Museus (IBRAM) sobre museus mais visitados no Brasil no biênio 2019/2020, é lícito constatar que o público reage de forma positiva à interatividade oferecida nas exposições museológicas. Também evidencia que há um potencial a ser desenvolvido no diálogo entre as instituições que abrigam bens patrimoniais e o grande público usando essas novas ferramentas de comunicação.

Cars have become an integral part of human civilization today. In developed countries, it is not only regarded as the main form of transportation, but also as a basic component of daily life. In spite of the rapid progress in motorization at the beginning of the 21st century, its apparent optimism brought tangible negative consequences as well. The study indicates that due to the sharp increase in the number of vehicles, loads on Yerevan , s roads have increased. The efficiency of transport use has decreased, whereas accidents, traffic jams and kneading have became more frequent. In 3-4 years, a transport collapse is inevitable if appropriate measures are not taken. To improve the traffic management, it is necessary to develop a strategy and implement a set of measures to improve the road network, especially road traffic, by using modern technologies, since expanding the road network is expensive, laborintensive, and not always possible.
