FPGA Programming Challenges When Estimating Power Spectral Density and Autocorrelation in Coherent Doppler Lidar Systems for Wind Sensing
Authors: Abdelazim Sameh , Santoro David , Moshary Fred
Published: February 2025

In this paper, we present the logic designs of two FPGA hardware programming algorithms implemented for a Coherent Doppler Lidar system used in wind sensing. The first algorithm divides the received time-domain signals into segments, each corresponding to a specific spatial resolution. It then calculates the power spectrum for each segment and accumulates these spectra over 10,000 pulse returns. The second algorithm computes the autocorrelation of the received signals and accumulates the results over the same number of pulses. Both signal pre-processing algorithms are initially developed as logic designs and compiled using the Xilinx System Generator toolset to produce a hardware VLSI image. This image is subsequently programmed into an FPGA. However, the hardware implementation of these algorithms presents several challenges: (1) bit growth: multiplication operations in the binary number system significantly increase the number of bits, complicating hardware implementation. (2) Memory constraints: onboard RAM arrays of sufficient size are lacking for accumulating vectors of the calculated Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) or autocorrelations. (3) Signal drive issues: large fan-out in the logic design leads to significant capacitance, restricting the driving capabilities of transistor output signals. This article discusses the solutions devised to overcome these challenges. Additionally, it presents atmospheric wind measurements obtained using the two algorithms.
Camera–LiDAR Wide Range Calibration in Traffic Surveillance Systems
Authors: Jang Byung-Jin , Kim Taek-Lim , Park Tae-Hyoung
Published: February 2025

In traffic surveillance systems, accurate camera–LiDAR calibration is critical for effective detection and robust environmental recognition. Due to the significant distances at which sensors are positioned to cover extensive areas and minimize blind spots, the calibration search space expands, increasing the complexity of the optimization process. This study proposes a novel target-less calibration method that leverages dynamic objects, specifically, moving vehicles, to constrain the calibration search range and enhance accuracy. To address the challenges of the expanded search space, we employ a genetic algorithm-based optimization technique, which reduces the risk of converging to local optima. Experimental results on both the TUM public dataset and our proprietary dataset indicate that the proposed method achieves high calibration accuracy, which is particularly suitable for traffic surveillance applications requiring wide-area calibration. This approach holds promise for enhancing sensor fusion accuracy in complex surveillance environments.

Authors: Rosaci Giuseppe , Latini Davide , Nigro Federico , Bartolomei Sandro
Published: February 2025

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between the characteristics of force development and electromyographic activity of the quadriceps muscles in the isometric mid-shin pull (MSP) and the countermovement jump (CMJ) performed under different conditions. Methods: Fifteen resistance-trained individuals (age = 25.9 ± 4.0 y; body mass = 73.2 ± 11.7 Kg; stature = 172.3 ± 9.5 cm) were tested for MSP and for the following CMJs: regular CMJ (CMJ); elastic band-assisted CMJ (CMJAB); elastic band-resisted CMJ (CMJRB); weighted vest CMJ (CMJV) in random order, using a force plate. Peak force (PF) and peak rate of force development (PRFD) were calculated in all the assessments, while peak velocity and power were calculated only in the CMJs. In addition, during all the tests, electromyographic activity of the vastus lateralis (EMGVL) and of vastus medialis (EMGVM) was detected. Results: Higher PF was registered in MSP compared to the CMJs (p < 0.001). PRFD and EMGVL were significantly more elevated in the CMJs compared to the MSP (p < 0.05). No significant correlations were noted between the PRFD measured in MSP and in CMJs, while the PRFD in MSP was largely correlated with PP in CMJs (r = 0.68/0.83). Conclusions: Results of the present study showed that CMJs promote PRFD and the excitation of the vastus lateralis, to a greater extent compared to MSP. Regular CMJ performed at body mass may represent the best option for power development, and small variations in loads allowed by weighted vests or elastic bands do not seem to alter the characteristics of force development.

Published: February 2025

This study rigorously examines the relationship between circular economy service quality and brand value, focusing on the mediating roles of customer satisfaction, brand image, and customer loyalty. Amid the growing adoption of circular economy principles to enhance sustainability and resource efficiency, the impact of such practices on brand value remains underexplored. This research addresses this gap by developing and testing an integrated model of circular economy service quality and its influence on brand value. Using a quantitative methodology, this study collected data from customers engaged with companies employing circular economy practices. A structured survey assessed the perceptions of circular economy service quality, customer satisfaction, brand image, customer loyalty, and brand value. Advanced statistical techniques, including structural equation modeling (SEM), were employed to analyze the data and evaluate the proposed relationships. The results revealed significant positive correlations between circular economy service quality, customer satisfaction, brand image, and customer loyalty. Furthermore, the mediating roles of customer satisfaction, brand image, and customer loyalty in the relationship between circular economy service quality and brand value were validated. High-quality circular economy services fostered customer satisfaction, enhanced brand image, and strengthened customer loyalty, collectively driving increased brand value. This research underscored two critical implications. First, circular economy service quality was identified as a pivotal factor in enhancing brand value. By offering sustainable and efficient services, organizations can deliver superior customer experiences, cultivate a strong brand image, and ultimately boost brand value. Second, the mediating variables—customer satisfaction, brand image, and customer loyalty—were shown to play essential roles in amplifying the impact of circular economy service quality on brand value. Organizations should strategically focus on optimizing these factors to maximize brand performance. These findings provide valuable insights for businesses aiming to integrate sustainability into their operations while enhancing brand equity and market performance.

Published: February 2025

The coffee processing industry is amongst the most energy-intensive industrial sectors, with the roasting process requiring substantial quantities of energy. To enhance sustainability, various energy optimization and recovery methods have been proposed. This study evaluates the environmental benefits of integrating energy recovery techniques in a typical coffee processing industry using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. Specifically, two alternative scenarios were compared to a baseline processing line; (i) Scenario A, which involves recycling hot air streams to reduce natural gas consumption, and (ii) Scenario B, which utilizes an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to convert waste heat to electricity. The LCA analysis indicated that Scenario A achieved a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and an 18% decrease in fossil fuel use. Scenario B demonstrated even greater environmental benefits, with a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a 36% decrease in fossil fuel depletion. These findings underline the potential of integrating energy recovery technologies to enhance the sustainability of coffee production, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders and researchers focused on sustainable manufacturing practices.

Published: February 2025

PM2.5 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been identified as the primary air pollutants affecting the Fenwei Plain (FWP), necessitating urgent measures to improve its air quality. To gain a deeper understanding of the formation mechanisms of these pollutants, this study employed various methods such as HYSPLIT, PCT, and PMF for analysis. Our results indicate that the FWP is primarily impacted by PM2.5 from the southern Shaanxi air mass and the northwestern air mass during winter. In contrast, during summer, it is mainly influenced by O3 originating from the southern air mass. Specifically, high-pressure fronts are the dominant weather pattern affecting PM2.5 pollution in the FWP, while high-pressure backs predominately O3 pollution. Regarding the sources of PM2.5, secondary nitrates, vehicle exhausts, and secondary sulfates are major contributors. As for volatile organic compounds, liquefied petroleum gas sources, vehicle exhausts, solvent usage, and industrial emissions are the primary sources. This study holds crucial scientific significance in enhancing the regional joint prevention and control mechanism for PM2.5 and O3 pollution, and it provides scientific support for formulating effective strategies for air pollution prevention and control.

THE ISRA'ILIYYAT NARRATIVES IN THE BOOK AL-DURR AL-MANTHUR FI TAFSIR AL-MA'THUR
Authors: Almurod Siti Aldasari Dwi Rohmawati , Yamani Abu Bakar
Published: February 2025

Al-Asil and al-Dakhil are among the relatively new areas of study within Qur'anic studies. Al-Asil refers to interpretive sources that are considered valid and accountable, while al-Dakhil means anything suspected to be an intrusion into interpretation and thus should be avoided and removed. The study of al-Asil and al-Dakhil is often used to identify Isra'iliyyat traditions that commentators have included in their works of interpretation. The inclusion of Isra'iliyyat is intended to uncover the hidden meanings behind the stories in the Qur’an, considering that the Qur’an often presents them in a general manner. In this article, an analysis will be conducted on the Isra'iliyyat traditions within the al-Durru al-Manthur fi Tafsir al-Ma'thur by Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti. If these traditions conflict with Islam, they are classified as dakhil; conversely, if they align or do not conflict, they are classified as asil. The methodology employed is a descriptive-analytical method commonly applied in qualitative research models. In his interpretation, al-Suyuti cites twenty-two traditions while interpreting Surah al-Isra’, verse 4, verse 44, and verse 55. After analysis, it was found that seventeen of these are considered asil, and the remaining five are classified as dakhil due to their inconsistency with the interpretations of most commentators.

Endometriose: revisão sistemática de literatura sobre fisiopatologia, quadro clínico, diagnóstico e tratamento
Authors: Lima Christine Oliveira Quadrado de Araujo Linhares , Almeida Paulo Eduardo Araújo
Published: February 2025

A endometriose é uma patologia ginecológica caracterizada pela presença de tecido endometrial fora da cavidade uterina, em locais como ovários, tubas uterinas, ligamentos redondos e uterossacros. Em casos mais avançados, a endometriose pode acometer intestino e bexiga. Acredita-se que o principal mecanismo envolvido seja a menstruação retrógrada, em que o sangue menstrual, contendo células endometriais, reflui para a cavidade pélvica, implantando-se em locais ectópicos. Outros fatores, tais como genéticos, imunológicos e ambientais, podem também contribuir para o desenvolvimento da doença. O quadro clínico varia amplamente, podendo ser assintomático ou grave. Os principais sintomas são dismenorreia, dispareunia profunda, infertilidade e dor pélvica crônica. O diagnóstico da endometriose é clínico, mas exige confirmação por exames de imagem. A ultrassonografia transvaginal com preparo intestinal, em que é feito um verdadeiro mapeamento da doença na pelve, e a ressonância magnética de pelve com contraste são os exames utilizados para o diagnóstico. Todavia, a laparoscopia com biópsia é o padrão-ouro, mas por ser um método invasivo, não é muito utilizado. O tratamento da endometriose pode ser clínico ou cirúrgico, dependendo da gravidade dos sintomas e da intenção reprodutiva da paciente. As abordagens incluem: tratamento medicamentoso; anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (AINEs); hormonioterapia; inibidores da aromatase e tratamento cirúrgico. A escolha do tratamento vai depender da idade da paciente, gravidade dos sintomas, desejo reprodutivo e resposta aos tratamentos anteriores.

Published: February 2025

Diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) e insuficiência cardíaca (IC) são comorbidades frequentemente presentes em idosos. O DM2 é um dos principais fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares, sendo a IC uma das principais consequências. A coexistência de ambas as condições é associada a prognósticos desfavoráveis e aumento de mortalidade quando comparada à presença isolada de uma delas. Assim, recentemente, estudos têm intensificado o enfoque na conexão entre DM2 e IC, dada sua importância clínica e epidemiológica. O objetivo deste estudo é determinar a prevalência e os fatores associados à IC em indivíduos brasileiros com mais de 50 anos, levando em consideração a presença ou não de DM2. Em formato transversal descritivo, utilizou-se dados provenientes do Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Idoso (ELSI - Brasil) coletados entre os anos de 2019 e 2021. Foi avaliada a prevalência de IC na população com DM2 em comparação com a população sem diabetes. Assim, os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos: pacientes com IC e DM2 e pacientes com IC sem DM2. Esses grupos foram analisados e comparados entre si. A análise dos dados foi executada por meio de testes de associação e regressão logística. Diabetes está associado à insuficiência cardíaca (χ²=54,62; p<0,001) e a chance de se observar um caso de insuficiência cardíaca entre aqueles indivíduos com diabetes é 2,18 (IC 95%: 1,76 a 2,69) vezes maior do que entre aqueles indivíduos que não possuem diabetes.

Na literatura médica vigente, o principal pilar do diagnóstico de oclusão coronariana aguda é a identificação ou exclusão precoce do padrão eletrocardiográfico do tipo supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (IAMCSST) em duas ou mais paredes contíguas. Entretanto, existem outros padrões eletrocardiográficos que indicam a presença de obstrução coronariana aguda, sendo um deles descrito por Aslanger, et al (2020). Este artigo tem como objetivo incitar a discussão do diagnóstico de oclusão coronariana aguda, através deste relato de caso de uma paciente de 61 anos que apresentou quadro de dor precordial e um padrão eletrocardiográfico compatível com o descrito por Aslanger.  Discussão está que se faz importante visto que quando presente este padrão associado a quadro clínico suspeito de síndrome coronariana aguda, necessita-se de reperfusão de emergência, sendo fundamental este conhecimento a todos os médicos para diagnosticar e tratar esse evento, contribuindo para reduzir a morbimortalidade associada a esta moléstia.

Os transtornos neurológicos, como a epilepsia, comprometem funções motoras e cognitivas, impactando a qualidade de vida do indivíduo acometido, sobretudo devido ao grau de desinformação da sociedade. A ausência de conhecimento adequado, especialmente entre educadores, pode levar a condutas incorretas durante crises epilépticas, aumentando os riscos. A capacitação no manejo correto durante crises epilépticas é essencial para a redução dos danos e a promoção da inclusão dos discentes acometidos. Nesse sentido, objetiva-se descrever a aplicação de um programa de capacitação destinado a professores de escolas de ensino fundamental e médio, com o intuito de aprimorar a compreensão sobre a epilepsia e fortalecer a habilidade no manejo adequado de crises epilépticas. Dessa forma, realizou-se duas palestras teórico-práticas para docentes de colégios públicos, nos meses de outubro e novembro de 2024, utilizando materiais didáticos para abordagem das condutas adequadas diante de uma crise epiléptica.  Como resultados, obteve-se a participação de nove docentes na primeira palestra e vinte docentes na segunda palestra, os quais demonstraram interesse em relação à temática abordada, explanaram suas dúvidas e simularam o atendimento a um indivíduo em crise epiléptica.

Published: February 2025

A insuficiência respiratória caracteriza-se por baixos níveis de oxigênio no sangue ou elevação do dióxido de carbono, sendo especialmente preocupante em pediatria devido às características anatômicas e fisiológicas das crianças, como vias aéreas mais estreitas e menor reserva pulmonar, que aumentam a suscetibilidade a deteriorações rápidas. Este estudo objetiva analisar as condutas hospitalares no manejo da insuficiência respiratória aguda em pacientes pediátricos, com ênfase em práticas eficazes para tratar síndromes respiratórias graves. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com buscas nas bases PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), utilizando os descritores “Acute Respiratory Insufficiency”, “Intensive Care Units” e “Pediatrics”, combinados pelo operador booleano “AND”. Foram incluídos artigos em português, inglês e espanhol publicados nos últimos cinco anos, resultando na seleção de cinco estudos relevantes. Os achados destacam a importância do monitoramento cardiorrespiratório rigoroso, embora com atenção para evitar fadiga de alarme. Técnicas minimamente invasivas de administração de surfactante, como LISA e MIST, têm reduzido a necessidade de intubação e a mortalidade neonatal na síndrome do desconforto respiratório (SDR). A ventilação não invasiva precoce e a oxigenação controlada apresentaram benefícios clínicos significativos. Em casos graves de síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo (ARDS), recomenda-se ventilação protetora com baixos volumes correntes e posição prona prolongada. Conclui-se que o manejo deve ser individualizado, priorizando intervenções não invasivas sempre que possível, com escolha criteriosa da modalidade ventilatória baseada no quadro clínico específico do paciente.

Published: February 2025

O manejo farmacológico da dor neonatal apresenta desafios devido às características únicas dos recém-nascidos e às lacunas sobre a segurança e os impactos a longo prazo dos medicamentos. Este artigo revisa as evidências atuais sobre substâncias adocicadas, sedativos, opioides e anestésicos. A sacarose, amplamente utilizada, pode ter efeitos incertos no neurodesenvolvimento, especialmente em prematuros extremos. Sedativos, como midazolam, estão associados a neurotoxicidade, enquanto a dexmedetomidina apresenta potencial neuroprotetor, sem causar depressão respiratória, mas ainda carece de dados robustos. Opioides como morfina e fentanil oferecem analgesia eficaz, mas podem causar depressão respiratória, alterações intestinais e potenciais impactos cognitivos e motores a longo prazo. A cetamina, utilizada em situações específicas, apresenta menor impacto hemodinâmico, embora com evidências limitadas em neonatos. A síndrome de abstinência iatrogênica continua sendo um desafio, exigindo estratégias criteriosas de desmame com metadona ou lorazepam. Conclui-se que o manejo da dor neonatal requer uma abordagem individualizada e baseada em evidências, considerando os benefícios e riscos de cada intervenção. Embora avanços tenham sido alcançados, são necessárias mais investigações para compreender os efeitos de longo prazo e aprimorar as práticas clínicas, assegurando melhores desfechos para essa população vulnerável.

During the perioperative period, intravascular volume management becomes crucial to achieve better postoperative outcomes. Maintenance of euvolemia is critical to ensure adequate tissue perfusion, since hypervolemia has been associated with higher rates of postoperative morbidity. One of the main challenges in managing surgical volume lies in intravascular monitoring. Despite the use of essential tools such as non-invasive blood pressure cuffs and heart rate monitoring, significant challenges persist due to difficulties in accurately measuring fluid losses, varied cardiovascular responses to anesthesia, and the absence of standardized assessment protocols for anesthetized patients. Given the critical role of adequate volume replacement in cancer patients undergoing medium-sized urologic surgeries, this study aims to identify potential adverse clinical consequences associated with  volume replacement therapy in postoperative ICU patients undergoing  radical prostatectomy and  radical nephrectomy in an oncology referral center in the Brazilian Amazon. This prospective, descriptive and exploratory study will be carried out from August 2023 to August 2024 at the Amazonas Oncological Control Center Foundation (FCECON). The research seeks to elucidate specific adverse clinical outcomes related to fluid management in cancer patients undergoing these surgical procedures.

Microplastics are plastic particles < 5 mm in size from large plastic fragments, industrial waste, and household products (microbeads). Some microplastics come from rivers that flow into ocean which can threaten marine biota and are vulnerable to consumption by marine organisms because they are considered foods. Microplastics have spread widely in Indonesia seas, one of which is Depok Beach, Yogyakarta. White snapper and mackerel are two types of fish often consumed by tourists and local people in the Depok Beach. This research aims to identify the form of microplastics and their content in mackerel and white snapper. This research method includes three stages, namely 1) taking samples of white snapper and mackerel from the fish's stomach, intestines and gills, 2) testing samples using the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) method for analyzing microplastics in the marine environment and FTIR to determine chemical compound groups in microplastics. The results of microscope observations showed that the forms of microplastics found in fish were fibers, fragments, pellets and films. For three months of data collection, the results of increasing microplastics in mackerel each month were 28.74% in fiber, 14.96% in fragment, 17.04% in film and 20% in pellet with the largest abundance value being 430 particles/gram in fragment. The results of increasing microplastics in white snapper each month were 5.93% in fiber, 20.84% in fragment, 27.60% in film and 29.41% in pellet with the largest abundance value being 248 particles/gram in fragment.

Early numeracy has repeatedly been observed to predict more advanced mathematical skills and vocational prospects. Accordingly, there is increasing interest in interventions using games and game-based activities to foster basic numerical skills. In the current study, we describe how we sought initial feedback on the game Number Express following a design-based research method and a study piloting the game with a group of four to six-year-old children to evaluate its usability and likability. The game consists of a train with six carriages for the player to fill in with numbers in the correct order. The game progresses in difficulty across several levels, moving from smaller to larger numbers and sequences in steps of 2, 5, and 10. Informative feedback is provided to assist players when they make incorrect responses. Associating numbers to carriages in the correct order earns the player points, with which they can buy items in a virtual shop, providing additional experience with calculating with money. During the design phase, we sought feedback from researchers, teachers, and an education consultant specialising in the learning and teaching of primary mathematics. We modified the game based on their suggestions. In addition, we ran a pilot study to test the game on a small group of preschool children (N = 45) evaluating its playability and user experience to allow for further development of the game. Overall, the results of the pilot study indicated that Number Express is straightforward to engage with, features easily memorable instructions, and incorporates an effective number line tool that supports number ordering skills. As a next step, we plan to use Number Express in a larger-scale intervention study to determine its effectiveness in improving children's early numeracy skills. In case the game proves to be effective, it has the potential to be a valuable tool for educators and parents in supporting their children's early numerical development.
Composition of Content Elements for Elementary School Climate Justice Education Using Environmental Books
Authors: Kang Wonjun
Published: February 2025

“Climate justice” is an approach that focuses on the injustices and inequalities caused by climate change, viewing the issue as a socially constructed phenomenon. It also considers ‘climate change adaptation’ as a method of response to climate change. This study presents the content elements for climate justice education in elementary schools based on the climate justice perspective. The structure of study is as follows: First, the study selected What is Carbon Neutrality? from the Ministry of Environment's list of excellent environmental books as the research subject. Then, it extracted the climate justice-related content from the book and categorized it into causes, phenomena/impacts, and responses. Next, key concepts (greenhouse gas emissions, vulnerability, climate injustice, climate justice, differentiated responsibility) were selected based on key terms in each category. Finally, by synthesizing the content included in key concepts, the study identified specific content elements and structured the climate justice education for elementary schools into a ‘category-key concept-content element’ framework. This study aims to identify the key concepts and specific educational content that should be included in elementary school climate justice education. By establishing concrete and systematic guidelines for the practice of climate justice education in elementary schools, this study will lay the foundation for its implementation.

Pendahuluan: Kanker adalah penyakit yang ditandai oleh pertumbuhan sel abnormal yang dapat mempengaruhi berbagai aspek kehidupan individu, termasuk remaja. Bagi remaja yang didiagnosis dengan kanker, pengalaman penyakit ini sering kali membawa dampak yang signifikan terhadap perkembangan konsep diri mereka. Konsep diri mencakup persepsi individu tentang identitas, nilai, dan citra tubuh, yang semuanya dapat terganggu oleh perubahan fisik akibat pengobatan, stigma sosial, dan tantangan emosional yang muncul selama proses penyakit. Remaja yang menghadapi kanker mungkin mengalami masalah pada citra tubuh, ideal diri, harga diri, peran dan identitas diri yang dapat mempengaruhi kehidupan remaja. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 60 remaja yang terdiagnosis kanker yang diambil dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil: Menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas remaja yang menderita kanker memiliki konsep diri yang positif sebanyak 51 orang (85%). Analisis lebih lanjut mengenai komponen konsep diri mengungkapkan bahwa citra tubuh remaja yang mengalami kanker bersifat positif sebanyak 56,7%, ideal diri yang realistis mencapai 80%, harga diri yang tinggi sebesar 78,3%, peranan aktif sebanyak 85%, dan identitas diri yang kuat juga sebanyak 85%. Kesimpulan: Remaja usia 11-19 tahun yang menderita kanker di RSUD Arifin Achmad Pekanbaru memiliki konsep diri positif.
JAK PROBUDIT SPÍCÍHO OBRA: ZKUŠENOSTI A PERSPEKTIVY MEZIOBOROVÉ KOOPERATIVNÍ SPOLUPRÁCE

Univerzity jsou přirozeným zdrojem mezioborové spolupráce a mezioborová spolupráce je významným zdrojem inovací, jejichž rozvoj potencuje zakládání malých inovačních firem při univerzitách a spolupráce s vývojovými podniky. Mezifakultní a meziuniverzitní spolupráce v České republice je však zatím nedostatečná a neodpovídá potenciálním možnostem, které univerzity mají. Obrazně tak připomínají spícího obra, který čeká na probuzení. Vzbudit ho ale může pouze aktivita zdola. Nikdo jiný, než učitelé a studenti našich Alma Mater to za ně neudělá.
The Concept of Property Loss in the Context of Insurance
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Economics, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, Ekzekova L.M.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the problem of defining the concept of loss of property within the framework of insurance not only as the loss of actual possession of a thing, but also as the termination of ownership or other proprietary rights to property as a result of certain insurance events, such as: invalidation of a transaction, as a result of which the insured (beneficiary) acquired the right to real estate, the presence of an error in the registration of documents legally confirming the existence of ownership rights, fraud on the part of third parties, etc. It is concluded that that the property, the risk of loss (destruction), shortage or damage of which can be insured, are things as physical (material) objects, and not rights to these things, since these rights are inextricably linked with things and share the same fate with them. As part of this, an analysis of judicial practice, doctrinal sources, insurance rules of various insurance organizations, as well as foreign legislation was carried out. A definition of the concept of loss of property is formulated in order to avoid further contradictions regarding the issue under study.
TORNEAMENTO DE ALUMÍNIO COM FERRAMENTAS DE PCD TEXTURIZADAS: COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE RESULTADOS SIMULADOS E EXPERIMENTAIS

The following academic work aims to simulate the aluminum turning process using high-strength
textured cutting tools. The objective is to compare the results obtained with data from real machining processes carried out at the Laboratory of Teaching and Research in Machining (LEPU-UFU), in order to establish the effectiveness of the simulation software for the process under these conditions. To this end, simulations were carried out with textured tools (flutes perpendicular to the main cutting edge) and without textures (smooth) in aluminum alloys. The Third Wave Systems AdvantEdge™ software was used for the simulations. Four different types of textures were created, with different widths and depths of the grooves created by texturing, and the cutting speed and depth of cut were varied, totaling eight textured simulations. After the simulations were performed, the results on the machining forces were processed and displayed in the form of function graphs and planned images using the auxiliary software Tecplot®, recommended by the creator of the simulation software, and then compared with real experiments under the same conditions. Thus, it can be seen that the software correlates with reality, but does not produce information that is exact to that observed in the laboratory, which allows us to conclude that the simulations under the specified conditions can be used to predict behaviors, but cannot be used for specific predictions of normal values of machining forces.

La gestión de servicios es en un factor clave para la satisfacción del cliente y la eficiencia operativa en el sector hotelero. El objetivo es analizar el proceso de gestión de servicio con enfoque de servucción en los procesos hoteleros. Se desarrolló un análisis descriptivo utilizando herramientas informáticas para tabular las respuestas de la encuesta basada en el modelo Servqual. La interacción entre el personal y los clientes es un factor crítico, pero, más del 30% de los usuarios expresaron insatisfacción con la rapidez del servicio, lo que sugiere que la eficiencia operativa también se ve comprometida. A su vez, el 76% de los encuestados valoraron positivamente la atracción visual de las instalaciones, lo que contribuye a una experiencia agradable. El análisis del proceso de gestión de servicio en el Hotel Plaza Max revela que, aunque se han implementado algunos elementos del enfoque de servucción, existen áreas de oportunidad significativas.
