Análise de estratégias e métodos para predição de fundos de investimentos imobiliários
Authors:   , Diniz Henrique Penna Barbosa
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho aborda a previsão da variação do preço das cotas de Fundos de Investi- mento Imobiliário (FIIs), uma questão de relevância crescente para investidores e gestores de portfólio. Diante da complexidade desse desaﬁo e da necessidade de tomar decisões informadas no mercado imobiliário, esta pesquisa explora estratégias inovadoras de mo- delagem, contrastando métodos tradicionais de séries temporais com abordagens de apren- dizado de máquina. Um aspecto inovador foi o enriquecimento dos dados com informações adicionais sobre os imóveis subjacentes aos FIIs, buscando entender como características especíﬁcas inﬂuenciam sua valorização. Os resultados demonstraram que, em muitos ca- sos, os modelos de aprendizado de máquina superaram as técnicas tradicionais de análise de séries temporais, especialmente na previsão de tendências de médio prazo. Além disso, este estudo investigou a viabilidade de utilizar um classiﬁcador para determinar a estraté- gia mais eﬁciente na predição, considerando os resultados obtidos com os modelos ARIMA e XGBoost. A análise revelou que diferentes fundos exibem comportamentos distintos ao longo do tempo, e a escolha do algoritmo adequado pode variar conforme as características individuais de cada fundo.

Redução de dimensionalidade em predições biométricas
Authors:   , Guimarães Patrick Wöhrle
Published: August 2024

A computação aplicada tem um papel crucial no Melhoramento Genético seja no se- quenciamento e análise de genoma, na identiﬁcação de marcadores moleculares ou no aprimoramento de técnicas de inteligência computacional. Um dos domínios do Melhoramento Genético que tem feito extenso uso de dados reais e simulação é a Bi- ometria. Um dos focos da Biometria é a seleção de modelos eﬁcientes para o processo de Seleção Genômica Ampla (GWS) utilizando marcadores moleculares (SNPs) e esse procedimento apresenta vários desaﬁos. Esse estudo buscou fornecer respostas a dois (02) desses desaﬁos: a) comparar eﬁciência de diferentes técnicas de Predição em Bio- metria para identiﬁcação de marcadores moleculares (SNPs) relevantes para controle genético de características simuladas; b) estabelecer procedimentos de Redução de Di- mensionalidade (ou Feature Selection) de conjunto de marcadores moleculares (SNPs) para ﬁns de Predição de características complexas simuladas, considerando intera- ção gênica, dominância e herdabilidade diferenciada. Para elucidar tais problemas foram gerados dados por simulação (via programa Genes) do tipo marcadores mo- leculares (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms - SNPs) e esse conjunto de dados reﬂete os principais problemas encontrados nesta linha de investigação (alta dimensionalidade, não-linearidade e multicolinearidade). A comparação da eﬁciência foi feita através da avaliação da acurácia seletiva de nove (09) modelos de Predição que seguem di- ferentes paradigmas no contexto da Biometria. Como principais resultados, pode-se destacar o aumento da eﬁciência preditiva à medida que o ruído dos dados diminui, a superioridade do paradigma da árvore (para baixos níveis de ruído, BOO) e a eﬁ- ciência do paradigma da rede neural (para altos níveis de ruído, RBF). O segundo desaﬁo teve como ponto de partida o fato de que Redução de Dimensionalidade (RD) tem se tornado uma ferramenta fundamental para melhorar a eﬁciência de modelos de Predição e mais especiﬁcamente ainda a classe de modelos do tipo Feature Selection (FS). Visando contribuir com esse processo, este estudo fez uso três (03) técnicas de Feature Selection (Bagging, Sonda e Stepwiswe) aplicadas a um modelo do tipo (Random Forest - RF). Os resultados obtidos sinalizam melhorias na acurácia seletiva (R2 ) entre 10% e 28% e uma melhor adequação de dois (02) modelos (Bagging e Stepwiswe) em detrimento a um modelo (Sonda), em captar de maneira mais adequada as situações que envolvem o controle gênico de uma característica. Por ﬁm,a medida que o ruído diminui, a acurácia seletiva aumenta (isso vale para modelos com e sem RD) e as taxas de crescimento da acurácia seletiva se tornam decrescentes.

Avaliação de técnicas de reconhecimento óptico de caracteres (OCR) para análise de dados em português disseminados em plataformas de mídias sociais
Authors:   , Santos Yago José Araújo dos
Published: August 2024

Ao mesmo tempo em que as plataformas de mídias sociais facilitaram as interações e ajudaram a democratizar o acesso à informação, estas também são exploradas para disseminação de desinformação em diferentes contextos, como saúde, política, dentre outros. Fatores como: a velocidade de disseminação, a demora na veriﬁcação de fatos e a complexidade de análise de mídias como imagens e vídeos, fazem com que o combate a essa prática seja cada vez mais desaﬁador. Esforços anteriores revelaram que as imagens representam o tipo de mídia mais explorado nas plataformas sociais. Neste contexto, uma abordagem para combater a desinformação em imagens é extrair o conteúdo textual para processamento posterior. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o desempenho de ferramentas de OCR na recuperação de informações textuais em Português do Brasil, a ﬁm de contribuir para o desenvolvimento de sistemas de moderação e combate à desinformação cada vez mais eﬁcientes. Este estudo apresenta uma metodologia para avaliar ferramentas de OCR considerando variações em 7 aspectos de imagem que são comumente encontrados nos recursos de edição das plataformas de mídias sociais, a saber: o ângulo de rotação do texto, as dimensões da imagem, a cor e o estilo da fonte, o tamanho da fonte, a presença de sombras no texto e o plano de fundo. Nossos resultados revelam a inﬂuência dos aspectos da imagem analisada na precisão do OCR, destacando o plano de fundo, o ângulo de rotação do texto e o estilo da fonte como os aspectos que produzem o maior impacto. Além disso, relatamos uma variação considerável entre os sistemas de OCR avaliados em termos de desempenho. Nossos experimentos demonstram que, dentre as ferramentas avaliadas, o Microsoft OCR apresenta os melhores resultados de CER em todos os aspectos analisados com valores médios variando entre 0,14% e 0,71%. Já os piores resultados são do Easy OCR, com valores médios de CER variando entre 1,5% e 57,8%, e do PyTesseract, com valores variando entre 3,9% e 35,6%. Por ﬁm, além de realizarmos um experimento para avaliar como o desempenho das ferramentas de OCR impactam na detecção de desinformação, disponibilizamos um conjunto de imagens com desinformação em Português do Brasil que poderá ser utilizado pela comunidade acadêmica para diferentes ﬁns.

As mães da terra: compadrio e sociabilidades das mulheres indígenas de São José do Barroso (Zona da Mata Mineira, 1846 – 1885)
Authors:   , Vieira Lorena Oliveira
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho realizou uma investigação sobre os processos de socialização das mulheres indígenas em São José do Barroso (atual Paula Cândido – MG) durante parte do século XIX, especificamente entre 1846 e 1885. Desse modo, pretendeu-se tratar as relações estabelecidas a partir de compadrios, investigar onde elas viviam, o lugar social que essas mulheres ocupavam, bem como se as famílias espirituais formadas foram capazes de beneficiá-las. A partir disso, buscou-se compreender como se deu a ocupação do território habitado por indígenas Coroado, se as famílias de colonos formaram, ao longo do século XIX, uma elite no distrito e se a forma de registrar os batismos deixava evidente a posição social e econômica dos núcleos que compunham São José do Barroso. Da mesma forma, pretendeu-se esmiuçar o papel que cada família com as quais as indígenas teceram relações ocuparam no distrito, se as madrinhas e padrinhos eram descendentes de indígenas, se tinham posses e eram requisitados. A escolha do gênero feminino e do recorte temporal se deu pela documentação consultada, uma vez que não foram encontrados registros batismais que mencionem homens e que os registros de indígenas se iniciaram em 1846 e, até onde se pôde analisar, perduraram até 1885. Palavras-chave: Mulheres indígenas, compadrio, São José do Barroso.

FRARE: FPGA Based Reconfigurable Attack Resilient Engine with Verified Proof-Of-Execution
Authors:   USA, Dave Avani
Published: August 2024

Modern society is getting accustomed to the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for a variety of applications that involves securitycritical user data and information transfers. In the lower end of the spectrum, these devices are resource-constrained with no attack protection. They become a soft target for malicious code modification attacks that steals and misuses device data in malicious activities. The resilient system requires continuous detection, prevention, and/or recovery and correct code execution (including in degraded mode). By end large, existing security primitives (e.g., secureboot, Remote Attestation RA, Control Flow Attestation (CFA) and Data Flow Attestation (DFA)) focuses on detection and prevention, leaving the proof of code execution and recovery unanswered. To this end, the proposed work presents lightweight FRARE: FPGA based Reconfigurable Attack Resilient Engine with Ver- ified Proof-of-Execution. It leverages a custom control register (Ctrl_register) based runtime memory modification attacks classification and detection technique. It uses the Proof Of Con- cept (POC) implementation of re-configurable use-case-specific attacks prevention and onboard recovery techniques. The proto- type implementation on Artix 7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and state-of-the-art comparison demonstrates very low (2.5%) resource overhead and efficacy of the proposed solution.

Timeless Archives on the Preservation of Memories and Culture
Authors: Lu Sean , Haisler Jim
Published: August 2024

The introduction of social media in recent years has prompted increased digital photography and communication through various applications, though the extent to which these social media platforms encourage the preservation of documented media remains obscure. Previous research has established that digital social media archives can store memories that people have captured and allows for convenient reminiscence. Additionally, the ease of communication brought about through social media is believed to further enhance the preservation of memories as it is shared and engrained in people. However, digitization has resulted in less time spent making physical memories due to isolation and anxiety induced by excessive social media use. Furthermore, the aforementioned assumptions fail to account for better methods of preservation, notably physical objects. The physical properties of tangible artifacts such as framed photos, as per empirical evidence, are proven to enhance memory formation and familiarity. However, considering that physical artifacts have fallen out of favor as digitization reduces their usage, incorporating the semi-permanence of tangible objects into digital archives, which are favored by most, would promote the positives of both in preserving memories accurately and indelibly.
Sphenoid Sinus Volume and Carotid artery/Optic Nerve Protrusion: A CT Study in Libyan Population
Authors: Mohamed Sherfad  , Mohamed Shaka  , Fatma Alfageih
Published: August 2024

Background and aims. The sphenoid sinus is an important anatomical structure at the base of the skull. Due to the proximity to vital neurovascular structures such as the internal carotid artery (ICA) and optic nerve (ON), variations in sphenoid sinus anatomy can have significant implications for transsphenoidal surgical approaches This study investigates the relationship between sphenoid sinus volume and ICA and ON protrusion in a Libyan population using computed tomography (CT) scans. Methods. This retrospective study included 100 maxillofacial CT scans from adult Libyan patients. Multiplanar CT scans were performed to measure the volume of the sphenoid sinus and to quantify the projection of the internal carotid artery and optic nerve into the maxillary sinus. The relationships between these anatomical parameters were statistically analyzed using SPSS. Results. Sphenoid sinus volume was significantly larger in men compared to women. A significant association was found between larger sphenoid sinus volume and ICA protrusion, either alone or in combination with ON protrusion. ON protrusion alone showed no significant correlation with sinus volume. Conclusion. The results suggest that individuals with larger sphenoid sinus volumes are more likely to have ICA protrusion. In contrast, ON protrusion alone does not appear to be associated with significantly larger sphenoid sinus volumes.

Published: August 2024

Students learning styles in higher learning institutions are becoming important, especially in facing the new generation, i.e., generation Z (Gen Z), a digital native. Educators face a challenge to ensure the institution delivers an effective teaching and learning approach that suits Gen Z’s behaviour. Any mismatch may cause the students to underperform. This study examined the learning styles of Gen Z accounting students and their relationship with performance. Based on the unique characteristics of Gen Z, the main variable, i.e., learning style, is measured based on Gen Z’s learning preferences: individual or group learning. Two levels of studies, diploma and bachelor’s degree students, are being tested to examine if the learning styles differ between the groups. The student’s academic performance is measured based on the attainment of soft skills and their academic results. Data was collected using a questionnaire survey to randomly selected undergraduate accounting students from various universities and colleges in Malaysia. Out of 300 questionnaires distributed, 211 were responded. The Gen Z preferred learning style between the two groups of students was conducted using an independent sample t-test. The enlightening results showed that degree students prefer group learning and diploma students prefer individual learning. A significant positive relationship exists between learning styles and students’ soft skills attainment, but no significant relationship with students’ academic performance. The findings of this study, which are informative, implicate a need for education providers to prepare the most suitable teaching and learning methods at different program levels to enhance Gen Z’s interest in learning and their performance.

Authors: Xu Yeqing
Published: August 2024

Culture and ideas are transmitted through news reporting. Despite its assertions of fairness, neutrality, and objectivity, the media consistently portrays one point of view. Taking a news article about the case of a Chinese pregnant woman who fell off a cliff in Thailand as the data, this paper analyzed the media’s attitude toward the involved persons in the criminal case. The paper aims to explore the media’s attitude towards the involved persons in the criminal case of a Chinese pregnant woman who fell off a cliff in Thailand. The result shows that appreciation and judgement are mainly concerned, with which propriety in judgement ranks at the top while the reaction in appreciation ranks second. When describing the wife Wang Nan, propriety is more often used and appreciation ranks second. By judging the injuries of the wife and the hard recovery from injuries of the wife through reaction and judgement and using some evaluative words to describe the injury and state of Mr.Sheppard, the author tries to praise Wang Nan as a very strong person. Although she is badly injured, she is still full of hope for life. When describing the husband, less description is made about him. The evaluated entity is mainly about the habit of gambling with the husband. All the evaluations are negative.

Correlation of Total Salivary Protein and Glucose in Children with Dental Caries Yielding Candida Species
Authors: Pradhan Saplin , R Priyadarshini Smita , Rath Shakti , Misra Satya Ranjan
Published: August 2024

Dental caries (DC) is a major oral health concern affecting a large population, primarily children. Children worldwide are affected by dental caries due to food habits or oral hygiene methods. It is seen that in healthy individuals, Candida species occur as normal commensal in the oral cavity. However, it becomes a potential opportunistic pathogen when associated with dental caries. Only a few studies have examined the variety of Candida species in children with dental caries. This study aims to evaluate the presence of Candida species in children with dental caries and correlate with total protein and salivary glucose present in those patients. 20 saliva samples were taken from children between 5 to 10 years of age. The sample was divided into two groups: Group 1 had Children with dental caries, and Group 2 had children without dental caries as control. The Biuret method wss used to determine the salivary total protein concentration, and a modified calorimetric anthrone-sulfuric acid-glucose reaction was used to quantify the salivary total glucose content. Sabouraud dextrose agar medium was used to isolate and develop Candida colonies. Children with caries had higher salivary glucose content, total protein concentration, and even the prevalence of Candida species compared to children without DC. These salivary components may be employed as indicators for oral health based on the findings of these investigations. It is possible to evaluate additional etiological variables, salivary components, and enzymes for future research.
Bloom's Taxonomy Categories in the Economy of Literature Teaching-Learning Process
Authors: Ravichandran Kathiravan , Virgin B Anita
Published: August 2024

This article critically examines the scope and implementation of Bloom's Taxonomy in the assessment and teachinglearning process. Bloom's revised taxonomy consists of six categories: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. The objective of this article is to explore the extent to which the application of Bloom's Taxonomy categories in English literature students helps develop their cognitive and knowledge skills. This outcome-based literature teaching-learning process aims to enhance their analyzing skills, allowing them to evaluate literature and generate their ideas, which can be implemented in various ways. Additionally, this article seeks to promote outcome-based higher education in language and literature. While it is relatively easy to achieve this in language education through exercises and grammar topics, it becomes more challenging when it comes to literature. However, by applying Bloom's Taxonomy categories in the literature teaching-learning process, outcome-based education can be effectively implemented. The process of teaching literature is a crucial aspect of education. It involves analyzing and interpreting various literary works to help students develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the human experience. The taxonomy consists of six levels: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Each level builds upon the previous one, with the goal of promoting higher-order thinking skills in students. By using Bloom's Taxonomy, educators can design more effective lesson plans and assessments that encourage critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in their students.
Developing an Intelligent Washing Machine with a Fuzzy Logic Controller
Authors: K Hemalatha , B Venkateswarlu
Published: August 2024

Nowadays, washing technologies are extensively used in every household. The purpose of this work is to create and develop a fuzzy logic-based system for improving the intelligence of washing machines. In complex control systems, fuzzy logic is more effective when compared to traditional procedures. The fuzzy technique combines machine precision as well as human intelligence to produce an adequate base for the future washing program. The entire method relies on the idea of using fuzzy logic to transform non-precise sensor inputs into a precise number representing the washing duration. Furthermore, using fuzzy logic conserves water, laundry detergent, and power, as well as saving time, which is a significant element in lowering process expenses. To improve the system, this proposed study includes three output variables and six input variables. Moreover, this paper explains, depending on the color and fabric type of the cloth, how a certain type of detergent and water temperature will be applied to existing inputs such as dirt type, dirt degree, and cloth quantity. As a result, an improved fuzzy logic controller-based washing machine system must be built to accommodate the color of clothes and the type of detergent. This proposed Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is simulated using MATLAB's fuzzy logic toolkit.

The decision not to have children, known as childfree, is a conscious choice made by a married couple. Childfree has become a hot topic of discussion among young Indonesians, especially on social media. This study aims to identify and analyze the level of tolerance and empathy possessed by pre-married adolescents towards individuals who choose not to have children (childfree). This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, using five male adolescent informants aged 23-24 years from various academic backgrounds as subjects. The selection of informants with different backgrounds aims to obtain more diverse views on attitudes towards childfree. The results of the study show that most informants show a tolerant attitude towards the childfree decision. This attitude of tolerance is shown through respect for other people's life choices, without any tendency to judge or reject the choice.

El dolor lumbar es uno de los motivos de consulta más comunes para el neurocirujano, siendo la causa más frecuente de limitación de la actividad en pacientes mayores de 45 años. Se estima que 70 a 80% de la población sufrirá algún episodio de dolor lumbar durante su vida. Este puede tener origen en varias estructuras como la musculatura, los ligamentos, los discos y la degeneración de las facetas articulares.El dolor lumbar facetario se define como un dolor localizado en la región lumbar o lumbosacra con eventual irradiación al segmento proximal de las extremidades inferiores, sin distribución dermatomérica, que tiene como fuente etiológica el compromiso inflamatorio de las articulaciones facetarias, muchas veces secundario al proceso degenerativo.Este procedimiento está indicado en el dolor lumbar somático de origen facetario de por lo menos 3 meses de evolución, que cause incapacidad funcional y no responda al tratamiento conservador. Realizar un bloqueo de la inervación facetaria con resultados positivos es imperativo para predecir una buena respuesta de la ablación.
figura do sujeito de direito no capitalismo
Authors: Carniato Bruno , Antunes Jadir
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho se dedica a sintetizar um dos conceitos presentes na obra “Teoria Geral do Direito e Marxismo”, de Evgeni B. Pachukanis: o “sujeito de direito”. Partindo do entendimento do autor de que a forma jurídica opera de modo inserido na lógica da forma mercadoria, apresentada no primeiro capítulo do primeiro volume de “O Capital”, de Karl Marx, Pachukanis compreende que o Direito nada mais é do que um produto inexorável da sociedade capitalista, haja vista que toda sua estrutura intestina é pautada pelo sistema de troca. Nesse sentido, o sujeito no capitalismo opera neste sistema de trocas por meio do Direito, pautado por um contrato ou leis, que o torna um sujeito livre para possuir e para dispor, isto é, um sujeito perfeitamente encaixado no modus operandi do capital. Com formação em Direito, o autor contribuiu intelectualmente para os debates jurídicos do início do século XX, e também atuou ativamente como Vice-Comissário do povo para a Justiça da URSS. O autor produziu até o fim de sua vida, em 1937, quando veio a falecer em Moscou. Apesar de sua breve vida, sua potência intelectual é indelével. Em 1924, o autor publica sua obra “Teoria Geral do Direito e Marxismo”, na qual submete o Direito ao materialismo histórico dialético. Seu destaque, aqui, se caracteriza por ser um dos poucos nomes à época, a se debruçar sobre o Direito com uma perspectiva marxista. Assim, Pachukanis debateu com juristas como Hans Kelsen e Carl Schmitt, pondo em xeque teorias jurídicas positivistas e decisionistas. Sobre os ombros teóricos de Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels, Pachukanis, ao analisar o Direito pela perspectiva do materialismo histórico dialético, o percebe como uma relação social que reflete o modo de produção de seu tempo e, tal qual a forma mercadoria, opera como uma relação de trocas ao mesmo tempo em que legitima o véu ideológico de tal sistema, que iguala os desiguais sob a efígie do sujeito de direitos.
importância das humanidades na formação do cidadão
Authors: Sousa João Paulo Domingos de
Published: August 2024

A democracia precisa das humanidades, sobretudo da filosofia e suas disposições, porque através desta o ser humano desenvolve suas habilidades de raciocinar, para melhor julgar e escolher, então ter um raciocínio crítico, uma argumentação consistente; cultivar a empatia; a compassividade, tornam-se valores que devem ser compactuados para quem busca uma vida com sentido. Nussbaum(2012) elenca três habilidades para o cultivo da humanidade: 1) a educação socrática que traz consigo a importância da “vida examinada” e que se traduz em refletir criticamente sobre si mesmo e suas próprias crenças; 2) ser cidadão do mundo, ou seja, o reconhecimento do outro como ser humano; daquele que é diferente de nós, dando o necessário respaldo à vida humana; 3) a imaginação narrativa que é a capacidade de se colocar no lugar no outro; experienciando emoções, vontades e anseios alheios.  Diante deste contexto, aponta-se a pergunta que orienta a presente pesquisa, a saber: de que forma o estudo das humanidades interfere na construção da democracia? O objetivo que norteia este trabalho refere-se a identificar\analisar a importância do ensino das humanidades no processo da formação do cidadão, cuja relevância interfere na democracia. Adota-se metodologia bibliográfica e empírica na investigação do tema proposto, com o objetivo de ressaltar a importância das humanidades nos currículos do ensino médio ou das universidades, a fim de manter a democracia viva; saudável.
Schopenhauer

O objetivo desse texto é analisar a lei da motivação como organum do saber histórico na filosofia de Schopenhauer. Trataremos da lei da motivação como razão que determina os limites do modo de saber histórico. Nesse sentido, a nossa investigação tem como pauta a compreensão e a descrição da lei da motivação na concepção de história de Schopenhauer. Entendemos que a história tem “os fatos humanos ocorridos em seu conjunto como problema, e a lei da motivação como órganon” (Schopenhauer, 2005, p.73). À afirmação de que o modo de saber proporcionado pela história está subordinado a uma lei anterior contrapõe-se, em certa medida, a ideia de que a história não possui uma organização esquemática. Diz Schopenhauer que “não há sistema de história, como há de qualquer outro ramo de conhecimento” (Schopenhauer, 2019, p. 118). Foi diante desse contexto de tensão que entendemos a importância de analisar a lei da motivação e sua relação com o objeto da história, que permanece no âmbito da compreensão da experiência humana no tempo. Para fins de esclarecimento do nosso trabalho, elencamos dois objetivos específicos que contribuem para a elucidação dessa tensão entre lei da motivação e objeto da história. O primeiro, consiste em compreender a lei da motivação circunscrita à quarta classe de objetos do princípio de razão. E a segunda, consiste na questão do porquê o historiador em sua exposição atua ao abrigo dessa lei que, a rigor, determina os limites do seu modo de atuar sobre o saber histórico. Para alcançarmos as metas propostas por esse trabalho, entendemos que O mundo como vontade e representação tomo I parágrafo 51, bem como o capítulo 38 do Tomo II são de grande relevância para nossa exposição. No que concerne ao vínculo da lei da motivação com o princípio de razão, buscaremos analisar a tese schopenhaueriana Sobre a quadrúplice raiz do princípio de razão suficiente. Esse importante texto serve de “introdução à O mundo como Vontade e Representação [...] sem familiaridade com essa introdução e propedêutica é completamente impossível a compreensão propriamente dita do presente escrito” (Schopenhauer, 2005, p. 21).
