PROPOSTAS PARA SUPERAÇÃO DA FOME, NA BÍBLIA HEBRAICA
Authors: Silva Valmor da
Published: May 2024

O artigo se inicia com análise dos termos bíblicos para fome e para alimento. Apresenta, na sequência, alguns textos do Antigo Testamento sobre situações de fome e possíveis soluções, a modo de exemplo. Os textos analisados apontam para o tema da Campanha da Fraternidade, de 2023: “Dai-lhes vós mesmos de comer” (Mt 14,16). Parte-se, assim, da hipótese segundo a qual a superação da fome consiste na distribuição equitativa do pão. Os objetivos demonstram isso, de maneira inversa, na concentração pelo império egípcio, conforme a história de José; e demonstram a mesma hipótese, de maneira positiva, no consumo diário de codornizes e maná; na distribuição do pão por Eliseu; no risco da própria vida no exílio; e na solidariedade, no caso de Rute e Booz. Metodologicamente, procura-se valorizar os textos bíblicos, com comentários explicativos que realcem o seu sentido em vista da superação da fome, até os dias atuais.
TIVE FOME E NÃO ME DESTES DE COMER
Authors: Costa Rubens Alves
Published: May 2024

A fome vigente na Palestina do primeiro século do cristianismo tem a sua gênese nos modus operandi, das políticas fiscais, agrárias e religiosas. O Império Romano detinha o poder social da geopolítica onde estava inserida a comunidade mateana e, juntamente com atores autóctones subjugavam os povos conquistados. As exigências fiscais impostas por Roma, a concentração de terras nas mãos de poucas pessoas e a corrupção dos agentes religiosos fomentou e construiu um caos social sem precedentes levando o povo da base da pirâmide passar fome. O neoliberalismo é uma doutrina socioeconômica que constrói e fomenta a fome. Ela incentiva a produção via latifúndios e concentra a produção e a renda na mãos de pouco
EXPERIÊNCIA RELIGIOSA/ESPIRITUAL E SAÚDE MENTAL
Authors: Maraldi Everton de Oliveira
Published: May 2024

Apesar de seu vínculo histórico com a teologia e com a fenomenologia da religião, o estudo das experiências religiosas/espirituais (EREs) abrange, na verdade, uma ampla gama de perspectivas e áreas do conhecimento, da antropologia à psicologia e às neurociências, variando de leituras universalistas até abordagens mais sensíveis aos aspectos socioculturais dessas experiências. Mais recentemente, diversas pesquisas têm se voltado para uma compreensão dos processos cognitivos e psicossociais envolvidos nas EREs, buscando-se meios de estabelecer um diagnóstico diferencial entre vivências patológicas e saudáveis e os fatores que as desencadeiam ou perpetuam sua ocorrência. Neste trabalho, apresentamos um panorama da literatura científica sobre o tema. São exploradas as principais áreas e abordagens de investigação nesse campo, revisando-se variáveis e achados relevantes na compreensão da relação das EREs com indicadores de bem-estar e saúde mental. Conclui-se a apresentação com uma discussão dos principais desafios metodológicos existentes e sugestões de temáticas para pesquisas futuras.
RELIGIOSIDADE E DOENÇA MENTAL
Authors: Fobe Jean-Luc
Published: May 2024

As doenças mentais são consideradas atualmente um problema de saúde pública, afetando cerca de 13% da população, menos prevalente apenas que as doenças cardiovasculares e câncer. Doenças mentais, espiritualidade e cristianismo em associação são alvos de conflito histórico, mitos e tabus. O estigma da associação de doença mental com poderes demoníacos, forças espirituais ou desagregação moral é patente para a maioria das pessoas, e contribuí para o afastamento social, que agrava o tratamento do enfermo. A associação da religião e doença mental é considerada positiva atualmente no tratamento das doenças mentais, desde que exista aceitação e apoio da comunidade, principalmente em se considerando o aumento da sua incidência, particularmente em jovens no nosso contexto social atual. As comunidades cristãs devem ser adequadamente instruídas no acolhimento deste grupo, e uma hermenêutica apropriada dos textos bíblicos pode ter uma influência propositiva positiva na conscientização de atitudes construtivas. A análise das narrativas bíblicas permite identificar doenças mentais, como por exemplo, manifestações esquizo afetivas (Dn 4,31-31), depressão reativa monopolar (1Rs 19,4, Sl 6,6-7), transtorno de ansiedade (Lc 10,40-42), doenças mentais frequentes. A identificação que a doença mental é física, desencadeada por fatores externos, é ressaltada no livro de Tiago no Novo Testamento, abordando o personagem do profeta Elias (Tg 5,15-18). Mesmo considerando a essência religiosa das escrituras sagradas, encontramos nas tradições bíblicas princípios básicos de acolhimento e manuseio dos portadores de doença mental como diálogo, aceitação, paciência e suporte (1 Rs 19,9-19), proposta de restauração para o futuro (Fl 3,13-14), e o autocontrole (1 Pd 5,7). A correta hermenêutica dos textos bíblicos sobre este tema, considerado tabu, é essencial para o acolhimento do doente mental nas igrejas cristãs. O combate ao estigma da doença mental no ambiente cristão é essencial com a aplicação de uma teologia positiva de aceitação. A comunidade religiosa pode contribuir no tratamento médico e psicológico da doença mental com uma teologia inclusiva do doente mental no processo de sua integração psicossocial.
COMUNIDADES DE FÉ COMO CONTEXTOS RELIGIOSOS MARCADOS PELA AMBIVALÊNCIA EXISTENCIAL
Authors: Cozz Roney Ricardo
Published: May 2024

Este artigo considera a relação entre a espiritualidade e a saúde emocional do indivíduo, levando em conta a influência das comunidades de fé nessa relação, tanto para a cura e aporte emocional, quanto para o seu adoecimento. O pressuposto básico é que comunidades de fé evangélicas constituem-se como contextos ambivalentes, uma vez que tanto contribuem para o bem-estar emocional dos indivíduos que as constituem, como também operam com discursos e procedimentos que fazem as pessoas adoecerem emocionalmente. Nota-se que, no movimento evangélico, o fator comunitário esvaziou-se para dar lugar à valorização da coletividade. Conquanto a vivência comunitária da fé no interior de uma igreja evangélica represente a melhora da própria subjetividade, é observável também que há fatores que são altamente destrutivos no aspecto psicológico. Identificar esses fatores e oferecer respostas possíveis, se coloca como caminho possível para a humanização dessas comunidades de fé.
Performance Investigation of Spark Ignition Engines (SIE) using Biofuel Blended with N-Propanol Fuel Additive
Authors: Kothare Chandrakant , Ladekar Chandrakishor L.
Published: May 2024

This experiment studies the suitability of n-propanol in biofuel for the performance improvement of the Spark Ignition Engine (SIE). Literature reported performance limitations of SIE with Ethanol-Gasoline (EG) blends. N-propanol can be an additive due to its good calorific value and non-separating properties. Various blends such as EG, Propanol-Gasoline (PG), and Propanol-Ethanol-Gasoline (PEG) were tested to assert their best potential in an SIE. Experimentation was conducted on a 4-stroke petrol test engine running at 2800 rpm with low fuel blend concentrations and varying Compression Ratio (CR) to investigate its effects on the performance of SIE. Increasing CR improved PEG-fueled engine performance more than gasoline-fueled engines, such as Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), and decreased emissions like Carbon Dioxides (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Unburnt Hydrocarbons (HCs). The performance of SIE mainly compared E10 (10% ethanol in gasoline) and E10Pr1.5 (10% ethanol and 1.5% propanol in gasoline) biofuels at different CRs. As compared to E10, E10Pr1.5 reported an increase in BTE from 0.43-0.83%, a significant decrease in BSFC from 0.05-0.37%, a reduction in CO emission from 6.85-9.78%, and a decline in HCs emission from 2.16-3.69%, at different CRs (4.67-7.5) respectively. Results show that a 1.5% addition of propanol in E10 biofuel improves the performance of SIE compared to pure gasoline and EG blend with 10% ethanol in gasoline. E10Pr1.5 shows the highest BTE, lowest BSFC, and lowest emissions of CO and HCs for different CRs. Propanol can be used as a fuel additive in the EG biofuel.

Authors: Pimpalkar Rita , Sahu Anil , Patil Rajkumar Bhimgonda
Published: May 2024

Solar energy is harnessed on a considerable scale nowadays. By 2030, the solar power output is expected to increase to 2500 GW marginally. High cell temperatures and soiling significantly affect the performance of solar photovoltaic systems. This study clarifies the effect of dust deposition on the transmission and output power of photovoltaic modules. The analytical and machine-learning models were developed to analyze the effects of soil deposition on the photovoltaic panels. The field data were used to train and test the algorithm for developing the machine-learning model. An optimum cleaning and maintenance schedule is then proposed based on the site's environmental conditions. The novelty of the research was to gather environmental parameters in real-time conditions that affect the soiling rate of photovoltaic panels, further affecting the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic panels. Based on the theoretical model developed, the cleaning frequency of the module was observed to be 18 days, considering 5% power loss and dust density accumulation of 2g/m2. A random forest model was developed considering ambient temperature, solar irradiance, relative humidity, wind speed, dust concentration, and energy generated. The predicted cleaning frequency is observed to be 25 days using the random forest model.

The kinetic patterns of liquid-phase aerobic oxidation of sec-butylbenzene to its tertiary hydroperoxide in the presence of N-hydroxyphthalimide as a catalyst have been studied. The influence of temperature, reaction duration and catalyst content on the rate of sec-butylbenzene oxidation was studied. Based on the experimental data obtained, a kinetic (mathematical) model of the process under study was compiled, which adequately describes the change in the concentration of the main components during the reaction. The numerical values of the rate constants of the main stages of the process are calculated. It was revealed that the oxidation of sec-butylbenzene in the presence of N-hydroxyphthamilide allows you to intensify the oxidation process of this hydrocarbon while maintaining high rates and selectivity of the formation of its hydroperoxide.

Published: May 2024

The full-text of the article will be published in the English version of the journal "Catalysis in Industry" No. 4, 2024.

Both nanoscale copper oxide and nickel oxides, with diameter 17 and 25 nm respectively, have been synthesized via an easy sol-gel method using polyvinyl alcohol. The method involves the simple dispersion of metal ions (M2+ = Cu or Ni) into the PVA gel and subsequent calcination of the dried gel at 400 °C for 3 h. The synthesized oxide materials are characterized by different physical tools like TGA, powder XRD, SEM, TEM and DRS UV-visible spectroscopic technique. The oxides are found to be very efficient catalysts in the epoxidation of styrene. CuO gives 87 % styrene conversion and 88 % SO selectivity while, NiO gives 69 % styrene conversion and 80 % with TBHP as an oxidant at the end of 6 h. Both the catalysts can suitably be reused for several successive runs without appreciable loss in activity and selectivity. The cost-effective synthesis, excellent catalytic performance and reusability make these oxides promising catalysts for the industrial use.

Authors: Pivovarov V. F. , Soldatenko A. V. , Pyshnaya O. N. , Gurkina L. K. , Pinchuk E. V.
Published: May 2024

Relevance. The state of Russia's agro-industrial complex determines the country's national security, as it provides the population with quality agricultural products and raw materials, which affects state sovereignty. According to a number of analysts, in commercial vegetable growing, about 80 % of sown areas are annually sown with imported varieties and hybrids, and this is a vulnerability in ensuring the industry's independence and the country's competitiveness. Strengthening technological sovereignty in the field of vegetable production is one of the priorities of the state agrarian policy, as well as the main focus of scientific organisations and private companies.

Results. Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution Federal Scientific Vegetable Center (FSBSI FSVC) is a major scientific center of the industry, which can compete with foreign companies with its breeding achievements. The article shows the leading position in the breeding of vegetable and melon crops FSBSI FSVC, which actively conducts research on private genetics, biotechnology, contributing to the acceleration of the breeding process; varieties and hybrids are created that combine consistently high productivity, early maturity, resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors, high quality products with an optimal content of biologically active substances to obtain potential raw materials and products of functional action; development of resource-saving, environmentally safe, high-precision technologies for cultivation of vegetable and melon crops, taking into account species and varietal characteristics, as well as scientific bases and practical recommendations for production of original seeds taking into account zonal specifics.

However, there are problems hindering the introduction of breeding achievements: the increased cost of registration of breeding achievements in the State Register of Selection Achievements of the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation, bureaucratic difficulties in their approbation, which arose for breeders after the adoption of the new law "On Seed Production". In order to solve the problems of seed production, the Ministries in charge of vegetable production have launched a sub-programme "Development of breeding and seed production of vegetable crops", which aims to increase the production of domestic competitive seeds and brings together the state, science and business.

Methodology. Experimental studies were carried out on the experimental field of All-Russian Research Institute of Irrigated Vegetable and Melon Growing (Astrakhan region) in 2022-2023. The establishment of the field experiment and the carrying out of records and observations in the experiment were carried out in accordance with generally accepted methods.

Results. It was found that with the seedless method of growing sweet pepper, the period from sowing to the start of fruit harvesting was 12 days shorter. Sweet pepper plants in the seedling method during the fruiting phase had advantages: in plant height by 9.3%, in the number of lateral shoots by 21.2%, in leaf weight by 7.0%, in average fruit weight by 6.1%. The highest yield, on average 31.6 t/ha, was obtained using the seedling method; when sowing seeds in the ground, it was 3.8% lower. Replacing the seedling method of cultivation with a non-seedling method contributed to a reduction in production costs by 74.7 thousand rub./ha, production costs by 1.9 thousand rub./t, production profitability by 1.2 times, due to savings in labor resources and working capital for growing and planting seedlings. Replacing the seedling method of cultivation with a non-seedling method helped reduce production costs by 74.7 thousand rub./ha, production costs by 1.9 thousand rubles/t, the profitability of production of sweet pepper products and seeds by 1.2 times, due to savings labor resources, working capital for growing, planting seedlings. A single treatment with the plant growth regulator Zircon, P (30 ml/ha) at the beginning of flowering contributed to a significant increase in plant biometric parameters: height by 12.2%, number of lateral shoots by 30.8%, leaf weight by 14.3%, yield by 2.4 t/ha (7.9%), compared to the control (30.4 t/ha), an increase in sugar content by 0.2%, vitamin C by 4 mg% and seed yield by 9 kg/ha (8.7%). The sowing qualities of sweet pepper seeds in all variants of the experiment met the standard requirements and were – 94-95% in terms of germination and – 92-94% in terms of germination energy. The highest level of profitability of 204.9% was obtained as a result of using a growth regulator; in the option without treatment it was lower by 14.4%.

The highest efficiency was observed in the variants of joint application of EcoFus with Zircon or Hardy, where the number of inflorescences on plants increased, seed setting and seed productivity increased by 37-42%, seed quality also improved – weight of 1000 seeds increased by 9-10% and germination by 6-7%.
Soft Horrors: The Visual and Ludic Safety of Dark Cozy Games
Authors: Waszkiewicz Agata
Published: May 2024

According to their most popular definition, cozy games are characterized by visual softness and relaxing gameplay devoid of combat and time-sensitive gameplay. However, with the recent increase in popularity of these games, game developers started to experiment with genre hybridity, introducing games that combine the elements of coziness with non-cozy elements such as difficult combat or horror themes, showing a need for critical engagement with the working definition of what is cozy. The article proposes a concept of dark cozy games to describe those titles that introduce visual softness and, to some degree, ludic safety to horror or Gothic, using three examples to illustrate different ways in which that can be achieved: Cult of the Lamb, Dredge, and Oxenfree.

Authors: Kobak Andrzej
Published: May 2024

Prezentowana publikacja jest rozprawą naukową. Dotyczy postaci ważnej dla rozwoju polskiej historiografii, jaką był Karol Potkański, a zapomnianej jakby nieco we współczesnych studiach nad narodzinami i rozwojem nowych prądów w obrębie polskiego historyzmu końca XIX i początków XX wieku. Ogromną zaletą pracy jest przypomnienie i dowartościowanie zapoczątkowanych przez niego studiów nad historią osadnictwa. W sensie metodologicznym książka rozwija interesujące i ważne rozważania prof. Jolanty Kolbuszewskiej o nurcie modernizacyjnym w polskiej historiografii epoki. Nie bez znaczenia dla wartości poznawczej rozprawy pozostaje też fakt, że autor poprzez analizę wielu ciekawych, słabo dotąd poznanych źródeł spojrzał na Karola Potkańskiego również z perspektywy krakowskiego środowiska młodopolskiego, podkreślił znaczenie tej postaci dla podtrzymania i rozwoju rodzącej się pasji tatrzańskiego ruchu turystycznego.

Soft Ceramic LED Phototherapy Mask and Its Application
Authors: Ying Huang Liang
Published: May 2024

Researchers have created optical masks using RGB LEDs to achieve the goal of facial skincare; among them, red light stimulates blood circulation, green light enhances endocrine functions, and blue light has antibacterial properties [1-3]. The current mask products are rigid in nature. Apart from being cumbersome, their design results in a distance of about 5 to 10 centimeters between the light source and the skin, causing uneven light distribution on the skin and posing a risk of eye damage due to direct exposure. Therefore, we propose the development of a flexible optical mask using a composite precision ceramic thermal-conductive material. This mask is soft and lightweight like silk, and it can snugly adhere to the facial skin through three-dimensional cutting, much like fabric. On each LED, a silicone lens with a refractive index of 1.4 is applied, increasing the LED’s emission angle from 130° to 150°, thus achieving the most uniform distribution of light and eliminating the drawbacks of direct eye exposure. The high thermal-conductive ceramic material within the mask elevates its thermal conductivity coefficient to 2W/meK, ensuring the even distribution of accumulated heat and uniformly heating the facial skin. Finally, through microscopic imaging of fingertip nail capillaries, we discovered that the use of the optical mask results in a 4.2-fold increase in microvascular flow velocity within 2 to 3 seconds, confirming its highly effective metabolism-enhancing effect.

Digital Twins promises to vastly improve the efficiency, effectiveness and, most importantly, safety of biomedical engineering products. The Digital Twin, as shown in Figure 1 is comprised of three components. The first component is the physical product that needs to exist in our physical world. The second component is it’s digital twin that exists in digital space. The last component is a connection between the physical and the virtual, with the physical providing data from the physical world and the virtual world providing both data and information that can be used in the physical world to replace wasting resources.
Diversity of Climbing Plants in an Urban Forest Fragment

Climbers are herbaceous or woody plants that germinate in the soil and remain rooted throughout their lives, needing other plants to support their development. The aim of this study was to analyze the edge effect on the climbing plant community in the forest fragment of the Federal University of Amazonas. Fifty plots were set up for sampling. The species were grouped and phytosociological parameters were calculated. Six hundred and thirteen (613) individuals were recorded, represented by 13 families found inside and on the edge of the UFAM forest fragment. The family with the highest ecological importance value (VI) was Fabaceae. The genera Bauhinia and Derris had the highest ecological importance value at the edge and in the interior of the forest. The scandent climbing mode was the most important and was observed in 56 species. This study confirmed the diversity of climbing plants, although there were more climbing plants at the edge of the forest than in the interior, due to the greater luminosity, and the scandent climbing habit was abundant in both environments. Climbing plants integrate the native vegetation of the forest fragment with their richness and diversity. They also contribute ecologically by providing food and shelter for living organisms, organic matter, among other components.
Concepts and Tools to Model GRCs, and Some Essential CCM Pathways in Living Cells 1. Generalities
Authors: Maria Gheorghe
Published: May 2024

Biologically catalyzed reactions (with enzymes, or living cell cultures) can successfully replace complex chemical syntheses, being more selective, by using milder reaction conditions, and generating less waste. As proved by the recent literature, the developed in-silico (math-model-based) numerical analysis of such biochemical/biological systems turned out to be a beneficial tool to (i) off-line determine optimal operating policies of complex multi-enzymatic or biological reactors with a higher precision and predictability, or (ii) to design GMO (genetically modified micro-organisms) of desired characteristics for various uses. This work presents a holistic ‘closed loop’ approach that facilitate the control of the in vitro through the in silico development of dynamic models for living cell systems, by deriving deterministic modular structured cell kinetic models (MSDKM) (with continuous variables, and based on cellular metabolic reaction mechanisms). The ever-increasing availability of experimental (qualitative and quantitative) information about the tremendous complexity of cell metabolic processes, stored in large bio-omics databanks (including genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, fluxomic cell data for various micro-organisms), but also about the bioreactors’ operation necessitates the advancement of a systematic methodology to organise and utilise these data.

Introducción: Según la OMS, en el 30 a 50% de las parejas con dificultad para concebir, el defecto está en el varón, el método que analiza la capacidad reproductiva de éste es el espermiograma. Hay escasos registros de la afectación de los parámetros de este examen mediada por el entorno geográfico. Objetivo: Identificar la presencia de asociación entre los parámetros espermáticos y la exposición a una altura geográfica elevada en tres departamentos del Perú. Metodología: Estudio transversal analítico usando datos de tres instituciones que evalúan fertilidad masculina en Lima, Arequipa y Cusco. La variable de exposición viene de un auto reporte y la variable resultado del informe de laboratorio. Para el análisis multivariado se utilizaron modelos lineales generalizados, con la familia Gaussian. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 744 participantes finales, 336 en Lima, 329 en Arequipa y 79 en Cusco. De estos, 49,60% no tuvo exposición a altura, y 50,40% si la tuvo. En el análisis multivariado se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el volumen seminal y la exposición a altura (Exp (b): 0,755; IC: 0,596-0,958; valor p: 0,021); respecto a las variables de concentración espermática, motilidad espermática y morfología espermática normal, no se pudo establecer una asociación respecto a la exposición a altura, Discusión: Se pudo establecer una asociación entre el volumen seminal y la exposición a altura, explicado por el estrés fisiológico secundario a la hipoxia en alturas elevadas. Las principales limitaciones fueron, el sesgo poblacional y no poder tener un adecuado control de las variables de exposición. Conclusiones: Se encontró asociación entre la altura de residencia y el volumen espermático. Este hallazgo significa un nuevo antecedente para ampliar investigaciones futuras en el ámbito de la reproducción y el estudio de adaptación fisiológica a la altura, sobre todo a nivel nacional.

Introducción: El cáncer de cuello uterino (CCU) es una de las principales neoplasias prevenibles del sexo femenino. El Virus de Papiloma Humano está presente como causa en el 99% de los casos. Desde el 2011 se incluyó en el Plan Nacional de Vacunación la vacuna tetravalente contra VPH que protege contra los genotipos 6, 11, 16 y 18. En otros países existe mayor prevalencia de otros genotipos no incluidos dentro de la cobertura vacunal. Ergo, esta investigación busca determinar la prevalencia genotípica de VPH de alto riesgo y de esta manera valorar la utilidad de la vacunación. Metodología: Estudio transversal analítico de 128 historias clínicas del departamento de Ginecología del INEN. Para el análisis univariado se utilizaron frecuencias absolutas y relativas, para el bivariado los tests de Chi2, Test exacto de Fisher y el Test de Shapiro Wilk; y la regresión lineal de Poisson para el modelo crudo y ajustado. Se utilizó el RP como razón de prevalencia. Resultados: 78.9% de las pacientes estuvo infectada por otros genotipos de alto riesgo, mientras que el 35.9% presentó infección por VPH 16 y el 6.25% por VPH 18. Los factores de riesgo más asociados fueron lugar de procedencia, afiliación a un sistema de seguros de salud y presencia de comorbilidades. Conclusiones: Existen varios pacientes infectados por genotipos de VPH no incluidos en la vacuna tetravalente, ergo tienen riesgo de desarrollar lesiones preneoplásicas y CCU. Es necesario ponderar aplicar una vacuna que brinde protección contra más genotipos además de ampliar la edad de cobertura.

Las municipalidades del departamento de Lima han implementado estacionamientos vehiculares en áreas comerciales, ofreciendo a los ciudadanos la posibilidad de utilizarlos de forma gratuita durante períodos que varían de dos (02) a tres (03) horas, dependiendo del distrito en cuestión. Esta iniciativa conlleva la necesidad de que las municipalidades cuenten con los recursos humanos y financieros adecuados para supervisar y administrar estos espacios de estacionamiento. Como resultado, en algunos distritos, la viabilidad económica de esta medida se ve comprometida. Este estudio presenta la implementación de un sistema de información diseñado para automatizar la detección de vehículos estacionados durante periodos prolongados en zonas comerciales de un distrito en Lima. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se emplea una combinación eficaz de la tecnología YOLOv5 y el reconocimiento óptico de caracteres (OCR). Este sistema no solo contribuye a la optimización de costos para la entidad, generando una tasa de recuperación de 2.1 por cada sol invertido en un periodo de 4 años, sino que también se respalda en una arquitectura validada por un especialista en Sistemas y TIC. Dicha arquitectura coloca a la alta disponibilidad y seguridad de la información como pilares fundamentales del proyecto. Por último, el sistema logra una notable precisión del 91.43% en el reconocimiento de matrículas de vehículos en comparación con las matrículas reales.
