Published: December 2023

The growth of industrialization and urbanization has result in associate huge increase within the population invariably leading to rise within the variety of vehicles on road. The ensuing traffic congestion and traffic jams are the most important hurdles for emergency vehicles like ambulance carrying important patients as these emergency vehicles aren't able to reach their destination in time, ensuing into a loss of human life. To solve this drawback to some extent we've got apparently come back up with Smart ambulance using IR sensors for ambulance. The proposed system clears the tie up by turning all the red lights to green on the trail of the ambulance, hence helping in clearing the traffic and providing means towards its destination. The system consists of associate android application which registers the ambulance on its network.
In case of emergency scenario, if the car halts on its means, the application sends associate emergency command to the traffic signal server and additionally the direction wherever it needs to move with this position with the assistance of world Positioning System (GPS). The closest signal is known Based upon this position of the ambulance. And that particular signal is formed green until the ambulance passes by and later it regains its original flow of management. During this way it acts sort of a lifesaver project because it saves time throughout emergency by dominant the traffic lights.[4].

Sujeitos fraturados em Um judeu na minha cama, de Lília Silva
Authors: Lopes Job
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo analisa os conflitos existenciais, que se estudam como “fraturas” dos personagens, Luana e Gad, a partir da obra dramatúrgica Um judeu na minha cama, da escritora contemporânea Lília Silva, publicado em 1976. O termo abordado nesse artigo por “sujeitos fraturados”, advém das teorias de Luiz Costa Lima (2000), o sujeito fraturado se constitui por sua por suas fendas e inquietudes. Não é um ser pronto, mas mutável como parte imprescindível da alteridade. Os protagonistas, Luana e Gad, vivenciam as fraturas e as expõe, uma tentativa de entender a condição existencial de cada um e fugir da infelicidade. Partindo dos estudos psicanalíticos e filosóficos aliados à literatura, o dualismo apresentado pela obra, revela dois conflitos antagônicos e preponderantes em sua teoria: o primeiro diz respeito à busca cega e solitária do homem pela felicidade, como forma de autoafirmação da vontade. O segundo se opõe a este, pois se refere ao destino que impõe o sofrimento aos indivíduos, o que é um dos princípios da autonegação da vontade de viver.

Literatura e filosofia em Os animais têm razão
Authors: Rodrigues Santos João Victor
Published: December 2023

Em Os animais têm razão (2010), sete bichos se reúnem em assembleia para discutir a conduta do Homem no mundo. Considerando os escritos filosóficos de Bacon (1979; 2002) e de Montaigne (2009), refletimos sobre como são caracterizados o humano e a natureza, além de investigarmos as fronteiras entre Literatura e Filosofia. Visitamos as contribuições de Nunes (2010), Nitrini (2015), Samoyault (2008) e Chevalier e Gheerbrant (1988). O poema apresenta-se criticamente acerca das interações entre o ser humano e a natureza e serve de alerta para a surdez do primeiro à voz do mundo natural.
Entre o lembrar e o esquecer em Chicos que Vuelven
Authors: Martinez Adriana Binati
Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma leitura das ações do lembrar e do esquecer em Chicos que Vuelven (2011), de Mariana Enriquez. A elaboração do arquivo de crianças e adolescentes desaparecidos, em Buenos Aires, se constitui como experiência chave na tensionada relação que vivencia a sociedade civil e as subjetividades na narrativa. A partir de Derrida (2001), entre outros, compreendemos que o entrelaçamento das noções de arquivo e memória remetem para um passado recente traumático da nação e rompem com uma restauração da ordem no tempo presente, subjugando a essa população a uma paralisia coletiva.
From Valuable Merchandise to Violent Rebels
Authors: Baakman Esther
Published: December 2023

From the moment the Dutch West Indian Company formally entered the slave trade in 1637, the Dutch periodical press consistently carried reports on slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. This article offers a long-term analysis of this coverage in the Dutch Republic, showing for the first time how the representation of slavery developed over the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It demonstrates, first, that through the periodical press, knowledge of slavery was more widely spread in the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century than is often assumed. The consistent, if intermittent, newspaper coverage meant that – well before the debates on abolition emerged – Dutch readers would be familiar with stereotypes of enslaved Africans as valuable merchandise or violent rebels. Second, this article argues that, in the second half of the eighteenth century, the periodical press offered its readers an ambiguous and contradictory image of slavery, contributing, on the one hand, to a public discourse underpinning slavery by depicting enslaved Africans as violent rebels, while at the same time covering political debates on the abolition of slavery.

Rephrasing William Blake’s Concept of God and Philosophy of Religion: A Critique from the Humanist Perspective
Authors: Bose Aradhana
Published: December 2023

William Blake, a poet of vision, depicts God in human form and expounds religion on the tenet of aesthetic humanism. Humans are imaged as God in their moral, spiritual and intellectual nature. God’s powerful goodness comprises Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love expressed through humans. He identifies God with Man. Humans symbolize the world of opposites. The lamb represents human innocence and the tiger, violent and terrifying forces. The two represent the duality of human nature and the contrary states of human soul. Human experience embodied in the tiger corrupts and destroys human experience. His concept of God is based on humanism as reflected in “The Image”. Blake affirms his humanistic philosophy in “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” and believes God being the product of human imagination and resides in all creations of beauty and wisdom. The child or the lamb represents God Who is conceived of as eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient. Blake is opposed to conventional images of God and rejects obedience to the church. He lambasts religion as affecting every aspects of human life. He castigates the church cruelty and its morality and also varied oppressions through the prescriptions of the priests and condemns priests in “The Garden of Love”.

UAV-LIDAR BORESIGHT ESTIMATION USING VIRTUAL CONTROL POINTS: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Machado M. V. , Tommaselli A. M. G.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. UAV-lightweight systems can achieve centimetric accuracy, being a viable alternative for forestry mapping and agriculture. However, they are smaller and more flexible systems, making them more susceptible to error influences than conventional systems. The errors from misalignment between the inertial measurement unit (IMU) and the laser unit, scanning angles, ranges, and the identification of interest features can significantly affect the accuracy of the point cloud. This paper aims to compare two different stochastic models using system raw data for boresight misalignment. Furthermore, to minimise the error in identifying the control point in the point cloud, a technique to create virtual control points is proposed and analysed. These strategies were tested with real flight data, and no significant differences were observed between the two mathematical models in the experiments performed in this study. However, the technique of virtual points enabled an improvement of 13.84% in the results. The accuracy achieved for the point cloud was close to 19 cm in planimetry and 10 cm in altimetry.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. This paper proposes a real-time 3D image point clouds mapping algorithm for UAVs that is capable of mapping effectively in weak GNSS environments. And a UAV mapping system is integrated with a RGB camera, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a GNSS receiver, data transmission devices, and a DJI M300 flight platform. To achieve real-time and robust mapping, the system utilizes a visual-inertial odometry (VIO) that tightly couples GNSS, RGB image, and IMU, which provides stable state estimation information for mapping. Subsequently, a dense matching algorithm based on key frames is adopted to recover 3D mapping information with low-computational cost. Extensive experiments are conducted on our test site, demonstrating the system's ability to build maps stably, even under the effect of wind. The results compared with the trajectory reconstructed by Pix4D show that the system achieves competitive accuracy of pose estimation and is capable of real-time mapping.

Authors: Sharma V. , Ghosh S. K. , Khare S.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Understanding the spatio-temporal transmission patterns of infectious disease is crucial for effective policymaking and containment strategies. Traditional approaches to study disease transmission often overlook localized patterns due to reliance on aggregate data and broad geographical scales. In contrast, this study focuses on individual patient data, allowing for a more granular analysis. By integrating patient records and hospital trip data, this study provides a comprehensive visualisation of the transmission process. This study aims to determine spatio-temporal patterns of dengue by utilizing individual patient data and their hospital trips to analyse dengue transmission in NCT Delhi during 2015–2022. Geospatial techniques have been employed to identify key mobility patterns associated with dengue transmission. Here Dengue Disease Monitoring (DDM) framework has been used to understand the spread of dengue through patient mobility in NCT Delhi. The study provides information regarding spatio-temporal dynamics of transmission so that effective resource allocation may be provided in order to implement targeted interventions in high-risk areas. It has been found that the incidence is very high in the central region of NCT Delhi. About 46.6% have been reported to nearby hospitals designated to dengue. On an average, it has been observed that patients tend to prefer travelling 7.5 km for treatment of dengue. Overall during 2015–2022, more frequent clusters have been formed in New Delhi District. Based on this study the movement of patients have a significant effect on dengue transmission. It is suggested to improve healthcare in vulnerable regions by offering specialized dengue treatment and increasing the number of designated hospitals specifically for dengue cases. The findings will help in formulating evidence-based policies to limit the spread of dengue, thus improving public health outcomes and reducing the burden of the dengue on affected communities.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Water-related issues have become a growing concern due to the impact of human activities and climate change unpredictability, and Iraq faces a significant challenge with freshwater scarcity and poor quality. Field measurements are expensive, while remote sensing is a cost-effective alternative. This study aimed to monitor the water quality of the Tigris River in Baghdad using Sentinel-2 satellite images. The study employed the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and field data from 14 different stations during 2018 and 2019 to measure water quality parameters, including temperature (Temp), electrical conductivity (Cond), total dissolved solids (TDS), potential of hydrogen (pH), turbidity (Turb), Chlorophyll-a (Chl_a), Blue-Green Algae (BGA), and Dissolved Oxygen (DO). The incorporation of spectral indices significantly improved the models’ effectiveness, with R2 greater than 0.8, except for Cond, which was 0.73. Water Quality Index (WQI) based on Iraqi standards was estimated and showed that the river water quality was categorized as poor and very poor. This approach can enhance water resource management and decisionmaking in areas where traditional monitoring approaches may be challenging and costly.

Authors: Zhang H. , Zhang R. , Ning X. , Huang X. , He Y. , Chen Y. , Li M. , Cui W. , Wang J.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a new large-scale change detection dataset called LIM-CD, designed for training and evaluating change detection algorithms on high resolution remote sensing images. The dataset currently consists of 9,259 images with labels covering six construction land use change types (i.e., residential land, industrial land, commercial land, public facilities, transportation land, and special land). The image annotations contain not only newly added regions of construction land as change annotations but also auxiliary information about construction land present in pre-change image (image T1), which serves as secondary annotations. These annotations offer crucial information for incremental monitoring applications. The remote sensing images are carefully selected to cover a broad range of imaging variations, including different image sources, years, backgrounds, and terrain. Additionally, we have provided comprehensive metadata labels, which can serve as additional features to aid model training and optimization. To establish a baseline for future algorithm development, we applied seven widely used and state-of-the-art change detection algorithms to the LIM-CD dataset. We are confident that our dataset can serve as a valuable resource for the research community, enabling the development of more accurate and robust change detection models.

Authors: Ferrari F. , Ferreira M. P. , Feitosa R. Q.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Deforestation is an environmental problem that significantly impacts biodiversity and climate change. Deforestation detection is usually performed using optical remote sensing images, limiting the detection capability to the dry season in which images are not comprised of clouds. In this work, we proposed Transformer-based models to fuse bitemporal Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images to identify new deforestation areas in the Brazilian Amazon area under diverse cloud conditions. The models were evaluated considering clear and cloud-covered pixel conditions. The results confirmed previous works in which the fusion of optical and SAR images improved deforestation detection capabilities. We also concluded that the better Transformer-based network reached the F1-Score of 0.92, considering all pixels, outperforming the better Convolution-based which reached the F1-Score of 0.86, without increasing the training and prediction times.
