Integrative Computational Intelligence Techniques for Insomnia and Sleep Stage Recognition from ECG Data
Authors: V DEEBIKA , G JINI MOL
Published: November 2024

Abstract—Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can lead
to serious health problems, including cardiovascular issues.
Early and accurate detection is essential for effective
treatment, but traditional diagnostic methods are often costly,
time-consuming, and prone to human error. To address these
challenges, this paper introduces a novel hybrid artificial
intelligence (AI) approach for automatic insomnia detection
using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The method utilizes
heart rate variability (HRV) and power spectral density (PSD)

analysis in various classification scenarios, including subject-
based classification (normal vs. insomnia), sleep stage-based

classification (REM vs. wake), and a combined classification
approach using both subject and sleep stage features.
Ensemble learning techniques, such as random forest (RF) and
decision tree (DT) classifiers, are used in the first two
scenarios, while linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is applied
in the combined classification. The approach includes ECG
signal collection, HRV feature extraction, PSD estimation, and
classification. Evaluation using the publicly available
PhysioNet dataset shows strong performance across all
scenarios, with high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The
combined classification scenario, in particular, achieves the
highest detection accuracy with LDA.

A REVIEW OF Solar Panel Efficiency: The Influence of Installation Angles and Design
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: November 2024

This contrasts performance under different
conditions of air, how these solar cell technologies can
optimize solar energy conversion efficiency in specific
locations. The intention of this information on the best
applications is to consider cost, efficiency, and environmental
considerations. These findings of the present study will
contribute to ongoing efforts at making solar energy use
better and more efficient, thereby accelerating the transition
towards a greener energy future. All these technologies,
including monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film, and
Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) solar cells, have
been developed to convert the energy received from the sun
efficiently. As far as conversion efficiency is concerned,
every technology has its plus points and negative points,
especially in different climatic situations. These
monocrystalline solar cells are known for their great
endurance and efficiency in functioning remarkably well,
even in hot and sunny conditions. Even though not as efficient
as the monocrystalline counterparts, polycrystalline solar
cells are still affordable and work satisfactorily in temperate
climates. With their flexibility and low weight, thin-film solar
cells work well with low light conditions and may be applied
in many applications, such as building-integrated
photovoltaics. They have greater capacity for absorbing light
and lesser electron.
Keywords: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film, and
PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell).

LPG Gas Leakage Detection using ESP32
Authors: Gaikwad Jitendra A , Ghodke Om
Published: November 2024

This research paper presents the development of an LPG gas
detection system utilizing the capabilities of the ESP32
microcontroller and email notification functionalities.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), a widely used fuel source,
poses a significant threat due to potential fire and explosion
hazards in case of leaks. This project addresses this concern
by proposing a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for
early leak detection. The system employs an MQ-series
sensor specifically designed for LPG detection. The sensor's
output voltage changes in response to LPG concentration in
the surrounding air. This data is acquired by the ESP32
microcontroller and processed to trigger email notifications
when gas levels exceed a pre-defined threshold indicative of a
potential leak. This allows for remote monitoring and prompt
intervention, potentially mitigating safety risks associated
with LPG usage in homes and industries. The paper further
discusses the system's functionality, development process,
and potential applications, along with suggestions for future
improvements.
Keywords— LPG gas detection, ESP32, MQ-series sensor,

Discourse Strategy Analysis on English Translation of Modern Chinese Essays Based on Framing Theory
Authors: Fan Kaifang , Shi Jingyue
Published: November 2024

The English translation of modern Chinese essays provides a platform for the world to showcase the Chinese spirit. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the underlying discourse strategies of the English translation of modern Chinese essays. Based on the framing theory proposed by Lakoff, this study adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze surface frames and deep frames of the English translation of modern Chinese essays. Analyses show that among a total of 1074 metaphorical words, there exist four main metaphorical surface frames: people frame, nature frame, journey frame and object frame. These surface frames activate four deep frames: the pursuit of personal qualities, nostalgia for hometown and family, criticism of social reality and the struggle for the country. This study provides a new application perspective and promotes future research on the English translation of modern Chinese essays, and could help readers to interpret the main values embodied in Selected Modern Chinese Essays 1, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of these literary works.
Tidal And Seasonal Effects on Water Quality in the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve, Malaysia
Authors: S. Nurhidayu. , N. Z Harun
Published: November 2024

The Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve (MMFR) in Malaysia, known for its sustainable management, However, the specific relationships between tidal dynamics, seasonal changes, and water quality parameters within MMFR remain understudied. This study investigates the effects of tidal and seasonal fluctuations on water quality by examining seven parameters—Dissolved Oxygen, Salinity, Temperature, Total Dissolved Solids, pH, Turbidity, and Electric Conductivity—alongside river characteristics such as width, depth, and velocity. In-situ measurements were conducted across dry and wet seasons at both high and low tides to capture variability in water quality. The findings indicate that tidal cycles and seasonal changes significantly influence the parameters studied, with distinct patterns observed in relation to tidal conditions. For instance, salinity and turbidity levels were found to increase during high tide, influenced by seawater intrusion, while dissolved oxygen and temperature varied with seasonal rainfall and evaporation. These fluctuations not only reflect the hydrological processes within MMFR but also highlight the sensitivity of water quality to environmental conditions. Understanding these relationships is essential for developing adaptive management strategies that address the challenges posed by climate change and human impacts.
“ENQUADRO POÉTICO” DE SÉRGIO VAZ
Authors: Santos Nicolas
Published: November 2024

A obra de Sérgio Vaz, dentre prosas e poemas, ao ressaltar universos de formas, vivências e aspectos do cotidiano de maneira simples e sensível, aponta, e até mesmo denuncia, como a poesia vive e dá vida ao cotidiano, e, mesmo longe das faculdades e academias, ocupa as mentes, as rodas de conversas, as ruas. Assim, tal leitura nos leva a questionar as formas hegemônicas com que a arte, a literatura, a língua e a cultura tendem a ser valorizadas em modelos higienizados, indicando também as formas com que essa violência se manifesta, em formas implícitas e explicitas, compondo o viver e assegurando a normalidade das coisas. Deste modo, nesta breve comunicação, tenho por objetivo observar como a obra do autor pode ser relacionada à resistência a violência, perpassada pela colonialidade, ressaltando o papel da língua e da linguagem neste cenário. Para tanto, realizarei primeiramente uma exposição acerca das formas possíveis de se pensar acerca deste fenômeno, a violência.  Posteriormente, dialogo com a noção de lócus de enunciação, a fim de aprofundar essa discussão, ao situar as perspectivas corpo-políticas da criação do conhecimento. Por fim, proponho a análise da poesia “Enquadro Poético”, de 2015, relacionando-a com outros excertos da obra do mesmo autor mencionado acima, e com os pressupostos e ideias relacionados a este trabalho, visando afirmar que a demarcação de um lócus de enunciação periférico e fronteiriço delineia formas de resistência ao autoritarismo e à violência sistêmica.
UM PRIMITIVISMO ENGAJADO
Authors: Ferrari Luís Felipe
Published: November 2024

O artigo recenseia parte da produção ensaística de T. S. Eliot sobre o teatro, centrando-se na primeira metade da década de 1920. Enfatizou-se o teor político de suas propostas para um novo teatro, cujo anti-ilusionismo, polemizando com frequência com o drama realista, acha apoio na obra de antropólogos e helenistas contemporâneos. Buscou-se mostrar que a crítica de Eliot está atenta às relações entre estrutura interna da obra e processos culturais e sociais mais abrangentes e inclui a percepção de que o drama realista constituiria um reflexo dos valores liberais da sociedade burguesa. A reflexão de Eliot pode ser resumida na ideia de que o desencantamento do mundo promovido pela modernização econômica teria tornado impossível a construção de formas estéticas coerentes.

JOGABILIDADE
Authors: Almeida Luciano Aparecido Borges
Published: November 2024

O texto examina a jogabilidade como uma categoria narrativa fundamental na construção de histórias criadas para videogames, destacando sua inter-relação com categorias narrativas tradicionais como espaço, tempo, personagem e ação. Com base nas teorias de Rajewsky e conceitos da teoria dos jogos de Salen e Zimmerman, o autor argumenta que a jogabilidade molda o desenvolvimento narrativo dos jogos digitais. A análise parte do pressuposto que a jogabilidade não apenas configura a narrativa em tempo real, mas também possibilita ao leitor-jogador criar a história ao explorar o espaço e interagir com o tempo, os personagens e os eventos. Assim, a jogabilidade é não apenas um meio de mover personagens, mas um mecanismo que dá sentido e coesão à narrativa digit
APROPRIAÇÃO E (ECO)MIGRAÇÃO EM SEMENTE DE BRUXA DE MARGARET ATWOOD
Authors: Azevedo Mail Marques de
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho adota uma abordagem ecocrítica na análise do romance Hag-Seed / Semente de Bruxa (2016), de Margaret Atwood, uma paródia de humor sarcástico de A Tempestade. As dramatis personae e o cenário da ilha encantada de Shakespeare são transformados nos internos de um Complexo Prisional, que encenam uma peça sob a direção de Felix Phillips, um Próspero alijado de seus poderes por conluios de inimigos. Relaciona-se a atmosfera de corrupção e degradação a movimentos migratórios, provocados pela ação destruidora do homem sobre a natureza, numa relação que já teria atingido uma nova era geológica, o Antropoceno. A apropriação do texto shakespeariano é vista pelo prisma de Chris Desmet e Julie Sanders, na exposição de problemas ambientais preocupantes comentados por Jonathan Bate e Nicholas Mirzoeff.
AVISTAR SILÊNCIOS PARA OUVIR RESISTÊNCIAS
Authors: Fernandes Clara Sampaio
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho visa investigar, no livro Gabriela, cravo e canela (2012), de Jorge Amado, e na minissérie Gabriela (2012), de Walcyr Carrasco, os silêncios e as tentativas de apagamento presentes em algumas personagens femininas, além de verificar como se dá a resistência das personagens e se é possível constatar um processo de transformação de circunstâncias, como alterações das formas de agir. Pretende-se ainda verificar a resistência ao silenciamento como forma de expressividade de um feminino “in natura”, como no livre exercício da sensualidade e sexualidade das mulheres. Para tal, teremos alicerce em autoras Eni Orlandi, com As formas do silêncio: no movimento dos sentidos (2007), em Chimamanda Adichie, com O perigo de uma história única (2019), e em Lars Elleström, com As modalidades das mídias II: um modelo expandido para compreender as relações intermidiais (2021), para o viés intermidiático.
NAS TRAMAS DO ICONOTEXTO
Authors: Barbosa Ana Lúcia Costa
Published: November 2024

Pretende-se, neste trabalho, fazer uma análise do poema “A mão” de Carlos Drummond de Andrade, publicado no livro Lição de coisas (1962), em que vários quadros de Portinari, embora não visíveis no poema, são mencionados pelo poeta, e trazidos à cena, por meio da palavra. Este tipo de recurso foi largamente utilizado pelo poeta brasileiro, ao longo de suas obras. O poema em análise foi concebido em momento de pura consternação, quando da morte do pintor, grande amigo de Drummond. Para tanto, utiliza-se como aporte teórico os estudos de Liliane Louvel e Bernard Vouilloux baseados no conceito de iconotexto. Os autores discutem as relações entre o icônico e o verbal, estabelecendo a distinção entre imagens in praesentia e imagens in absentia. Na primeira situação, texto e imagem visível se relacionam no mesmo suporte. Quanto às imagens in absentia, considera-se que elas se tornam visíveis, quando convocadas pelo texto.
A ÉCFRASE COMO DISCUSSÃO CRÍTICA
Authors: Azerêdo Genilda
Published: November 2024

Apresentamos uma discussão do poema “This is a photograph of me”, de Margaret Atwood, de modo a ressaltar seu caráter ecfrástico, e, portanto, todo o diálogo intermidiático promovido entre o poema e a fotografia. Para tanto, fazemos uso de princípios teóricos que discutem a écfrase (Heffernan, 2015; Kennedy, 2015; Ceia, 2018); a arte e a ética da fotografia (Barthes, 1984; Sontag, 2004; Bazin, 2014; Benjamin, 1994), bem como as categorias intermidiáticas (Rajewsky, 2012; Gaudreault e Marion (2012) que caracterizam o poema. A análise demonstra que o diálogo intermidiático presente no poema de Atwood metaforiza questões relevantes voltadas para (in)visibilidade, identidade, silenciamento e exclusão, chamando a atenção para a importância do poema ecfrástico não apenas como representação de um objeto visual, mas como discussão crítica.

Customisation under societal pressure: Towards a nuanced understanding of customised services in street-level practice

In the debate on customised services, two opposing (normative) views often emerge. On the one hand, there is the belief that customisation is essential for providing effective support and bridging the gap between lived experiences and the system. On the other hand, there are concerns that customisation fosters arbitrariness and undermines transparency, potentially increasing public distrust in the government. This special issue on customisation delves deeper into this debate by presenting systematic empirical research on its nature, antecedents and consequences. In this introductory article, we address four overarching themes: the various definitions of customisation and the challenges they bring; the significant responsibility placed on professionals; the need to embed customisation within organisational structures; and the often-overlooked perspective of citizens, who play a crucial role in its accomplishment. We conclude with recommendations for further research and practical application.

Revisitando a história da psicologia educacional e escolar no Brasil
Authors: Silva Monalisa Araujo e
Published: November 2024

O estudo objetivou analisar a literatura para remontar a história da psicologia educacional e escolar. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura onde 11 artigos colhidos no Portal Periódicos Capes foram analisados mediante o procedimento de Análise de Conteúdo. Como resultados, foi possível a construção de quatro categorias: 1) Psicologia e educação no Brasil colônia e Brasil império; 2) História do ensino de psicologia; 3) Psicologia educacional e escolar a partir do século XX e 4) Quadro sobre a periodização da psicologia educacional e escolar no Brasil. Foi possível perceber um panorama da história da psicologia educacional e escolar no país, pois ao longo da história, as práticas profissionais na área eram focadas no modelo médico higienista classificatório, que tinha como resultado final a exclusão escolar dos alunos que não atendiam os padrões de comportamento, aprendizagem e normalidade estabelecidos pela sociedade e pela escola, de forma que somente há muito pouco tempo, na década de 1980, tal área passou a ser reconfigurada para o compromisso ético e político da garantia a educação das camadas populares. Um destaque nessa empreitada é a contribuição de Maria Helena Souza Patto, que teve papel exponencial na construção de uma psicologia educacional e escolar emancipadora.

The article investigates the organoleptic parameters, the mass fraction of
protein and fat, the amino acid and fatty acid composition of semi-smoked sausage from a
vegetable meat substitute. Soy and chickpeas were selected as vegetable raw materials
for semi-smoked sausage, and as a result of an organoleptic evaluation, their optimal ratio
(70:30) was chosen.
The composition of soy and chickpeas differs in a large amount of protein than that
of other legumes. According to the results of the protein study in semi-smoked sausage
from this vegetable raw material, it was revealed that the second sample had 15.76%
more protein, the third sample had 14.77% higher, the fourth sample had 11.07% more,
the fifth sample had 9.98% higher compared to the control sample. Accordingly, the
amino acid composition, such as aspartic acid, arginine, phenylalanine, valine, methionine,
threonine, leucine, lysine, are 61.24%, 28%, 24.8%, 25%, 15,58%, 14,28% higher, and 4.13
times, 5.39 times more than in the control sample. This indicates that the product can be
considered as a biologically valuable and protein-rich product.
Price processes in the global gold market
Authors: Kowalewski Paweł , Skopiec Dominik A.
Published: November 2024

Recurring global crises, increasing uncertainty in the world economy, rising geopolitical risk and recently geoeconomic fragmentation have renewed and intensified interest in gold in the 21st century. The precious metal still retains an important role in the economy, most notably as a long-term store of value and efficient portfolio diversifier. One of the most remarkable changes on the global gold market refers to the role of central banks. Over several decades after the breakup of the Bretton Woods system, central banks were selling gold held in their reserves. However, following the global financial crisis central banks ceased to be a source of gold supply and became a significant component of global demand for gold. We demonstrate that gold remains valuable and expensive in terms of both currencies and other commodities. Moreover, its record prices are a result of rising geopolitical tensions and uncertainty as well as the resurrection of inflationary pressures. We argue that gold prices are also overwhelmingly influenced by the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve and the US dollar exchange rate. On the other hand, the rapid increase in the price of gold reflects rising income and private demand for gold in emerging market economies, particularly in China and India. The purpose of the article is to assess the value of gold using a wide range of metrics as well as to present the determinants of gold prices, with special attention given to demand and supply fundamentals and financial instruments based on gold. The research methods used include statistical-descriptive analysis, comparative analysis and literature study.
Aseptic failure of total hip arthroplasty as an early complication requiring revision surgery: a comprehensive literature review
Authors: Sznajder Wojciech , Tański Wojciech
Published: November 2024

Background: The undertaking of hip joint endoprosthesis surgery carries the inherent risk of complications. During the perioperative and early postoperative phases, septic complications take precedence, notably those associated with infection. Conversely, aseptic complications encompass issues unrelated to infection. Accurate risk stratification for complications following hip prosthesis implantation should be grounded in research adhering to the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine.Aim of the study: This paper aimed to present a critical literature review Material and methods: The literature review was conducted using international medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and PEDro. The review was based on criteria that included clinical studies and full-text publications published in English. The search period covered the last decade, spanning from 2014 to 2024.Results: The review highlights aseptic loosening and dislocation as the predominant causes of early THA failures. Addressing these complications requires a multifaceted approach, including patient education, meticulous surgical techniques, and robust postoperative rehabilitation programs. Future research should focus on improving implant materials and techniques to further reduce the incidence of aseptic failures. Dislocation and loosening of the hip joint prosthesis are direct reasons for qualifying the patient for revision surgery and reconstruction of the damaged prosthesis components. Individual biomechanical characteristics of the patient, genetic predispositions, obesity, or improper positioning of the prosthesis in relation to the limb axis are also potential risk factors for dislocation.Conclusions: Aseptic complications remain a significant challenge in THA. By understanding the causes and implementing effective preventative strategies, the incidence of early failures can be reduced, improving patient outcomes and prosthesis longevity. The gradual introduction of a well-planned and individualized rehabilitation program, along with the patient's adherence to treatment recommendations, is crucial for minimizing the risk of mechanical damage.

Published: November 2024

In the article based on a study conducted in 2024 as part of the project: "A world tailored to seniors. The situation of older people in Poland” presented the economic and social situation of seniors. Pointing out that a stable financial situation is the most important determinant of the level and quality of life of seniors.The article outlines a complex picture of the economic situation of older people and shows their financial situation, expenses, debt and savings, expressed expectations and social relations. Because on the one hand, income, debt or savings, and on the other - needs and expenses, determine the financial situation of seniors. Therefore it’s important for the quality of life of seniors. It should be noted that they change with increasing age, therefore with deteriorating health and possible limited fitness and the associated increase it expenses for the purchase of medicines and other medical supplies. This is often associated with a deterioration of the financial situation of households, especially women, who in old age are more exposed to living in poverty.
Do não sonho ao sonho a dois

Este artigo pretende compreender o conceito de enactment. Relativamente novo para a psicanálise, ele deriva do conceito kleiniano de identificação projetiva. Para melhor ilustrá-lo, usamos uma vinheta clínica em que a paciente, diante das perdas traumáticas de sua vida, não pôde perceber a gestação de sua analista e pressupor o período de separação iminente. A analista, tomada por angústias transferenciais e contratransferenciais, tampouco pôde dizer à paciente sobre sua condição. O impasse da dupla se desfaz pelo desejo da paciente de interromper a análise. Este trabalho ressalta a importância de explorar os aspectos intersubjetivos inconscientes presentes na dupla analítica, que podem interferir na capacidade de ambos sonharem, a dois.
Energy and Resource Modeling: A Comparative Analysis of Containers and Virtual Machines
Authors:   Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija / Higher Education Institution, Dervinis Donatas
Published: November 2024

This paper presents a comparative analysis of energy and resource utilization between
containers and virtual machines (VMs), technologies essential for modern cloud computing
environments. Containers, lightweight virtualization solutions, enable rapid deployment, efficient
scaling, and reduced overhead by sharing the host OS kernel, making them ideal for
microservices and agile development workflows. Conversely, VMs offer enhanced security and
isolation by virtualizing entire operating systems, suiting multi-tenant and legacy applications.
Through mathematical modeling, this study quantifies the differences in energy consumption and
resource efficiency of these technologies. The models utilize variables such as CPU and RAM
usage and server load to assess each technology's performance in various scenarios. Results
from simulations indicate that containers can significantly reduce infrastructure costs by
optimizing resource allocation. A sample calculation for VMs and containers was performed to
assess resource and energy demands. The results indicate that running 10 VMs requires 9.2%
more CPU resources, and 12.5% more RAM compared to containers. In terms of energy
consumption, VMs require 82% more energy than an equivalent setup of 10 containers.
