Protocol for VERITAS, (Vaping Effects: Real-World International Surveillance) Study: A multi-country, six-year prospective cohort study of daily vapers with very limited smoking history
Authors: Phillips Carl V. , Polosa Riccardo , Caponnetto Pasquale
Published: February 2021

It is clear that vaping (e-cigarette use) poses little if any health risk, and in particular is far less harmful than smoking. However, it is not clear whether there is some small health risk from vaping. Most research on health outcomes has involved people who formerly smoked, and thus who have residual health risks that are far greater than any plausible level of risk from vaping, making a sufficiently precise estimate impossible. Without studies of people who vape but who have smoked very little, it is unlikely there will ever be useful epidemiologic estimates. In addition, almost all published information about the characteristics and behaviors of people who vape focuses on people who used to smoke. The VERITAS (Vaping Effects: Real-World International Surveillance) Study, whose protocol is reported here, will begin to help address this missing information. This observational study will assemble an international cohort of 2000 or more people who vape regularly and have very little history of smoking. They will be followed over time and surveyed frequently to assess their health status, health events, behavioral choices, and motivations. Multimedia survey tools will capture more precise behavioral information than is normally measured. The assembled cohort will be available for, and is expected to be used for, embedded observational clinical research of subgroups of the study population.
Changes in the Physical Properties of Hydrocarbon Reservoir as a Result of an Increase in the Effective Pressure During the Development of the Field
Authors: Al-Obaidi Sudad H , IP Kamensky , M Hofmann
Published: February 2021

The change in reservoir pressure and its effect on the physical properties of the reservoirunder the development of the hydrocarbon fields has always been of great interest to many researchers in the oil industry. One of the tasks of core research is to obtain interpretation models that provide quantitative processing of well logging data. The effects of the change of effective pressure on the reservoir properties of productive reservoir rocks in the simulation conditions of the reservoir are studied. Reservoir conditions were simulated, and under these conditions, the main physical properties of each sample were determined. The field development process was simulated by a decrease in reservoir pressure, accompanied by an increase in effective pressure by 10.0 MPa. This has shown that we can expect a decrease in the average formation porosity (φ) value by 0.05 absolute percent or 0.24%, and a decrease in the permeability (K) by 0.24 md, or 0.14 %. The data on changes in some petrophysical parameters are analyzed from the point of view of their dependence on changes in the effective pressure of the reservoir, obtained in the first approximation of the assessment of these changes
Effect of Welding Using Electrodes With Certain Treatment on Stainless Steel 304 Using SMAW Welding
Authors: Iswanto
Published: February 2021

This paper will discuss about how the influence of welding electrodes which before being used in the welding process is given a certain treatment first. The treatment given to the welding electrode before the welding process is by dipping the welding electrode into the oil and dipping the welding electrode into the coolant. The effect of the welding electrode treatment on the SMAW welding results seen from the tensile strength. The specimen used is stainless steel type 304 with four welding variations. First, welding using Gutwelt type E308 welding electrodes. Second, welding using Nikko Steel type E308 welding electrodes. Third, welding using Nikko Steel type E308 welding electrodes that are oil dipped. Fourth, welding uses Nikko Steel type E308 welding electrodes which are dyed coolant. After tensile testing of the welding results, the results are obtained: welding using Gutwelt type E308 welding electrodes has greater tensile strength compared to using Nikko Steel type E308 welding electrodes. While welding using Nikko Steel type E308 welding electrodes that have been carried out certain treatments, namely by dipped coolant, produce greater tensile strength compared to using the Gutwelt type E308 welding electrodes. However, in welding using Nikko Steel type E308 welding electrodes that are oil dipped, the tensile strength is still lower than using a Gutwelt type E308 welding electrodes.
New Technologies to Improve the Performance of High Water Cut Wells Equipped With ESP
Authors: Al-Obaidi Sudad H , VI Smirnov , FH Khalaf
Published: February 2021

The article deals with theoretical and practical issues of improving the efficiency of operation of high-water cut oil wells by developing and applying double-acting pumping systems based on electric submersible pumps. This combination is providing down-hole gravitational separation of oil and produced water, lifting low-water-cut oil to the surface with simultaneous injection of most of the separated water into the absorbing formation without lifting to the surface. Moreover, it is providing low-cost regulation of the ratio of the volumes of the lifted product and the injected water, as well as monitoring the quality of the injected water with the required frequency.
Two-year-olds use past experiences to accomplish novel goals
Authors: Blankenship Tashauna , Kibbe Melissa M.
Published: February 2021

Memory-guided planning involves retrieving relevant memories and applying that information in service of a goal. Previous studies have shown substantial development in this ability between the ages of 3 and 4 years. We investigated the emergence of memory-guided planning by asking whether 2-year-olds could draw on episodic memories of past experiences to generate and execute plans. In Experiments 1 and 2, 2-year-olds successfully did so, and this ability developed significantly across the 3rd year. Furthermore, in Experiment 3 (n=19, d=.63), 2-year-olds successfully applied episodic memories to guide plans in a novel problem context, suggesting flexibility in this ability. Together, these results suggest that some form of memory-guided planning emerges in the 3rd year of life and may form the cognitive basis for episodic prospection later in development.
Measuring Distinct Social Skills via Multiple Speed Assessments – A Behavior-Focused Personnel Selection Approach
Authors: Breil Simon Mats , Forthmann Boris , Back Mitja
Published: February 2021

Social skills (e.g., persuading others, showing compassion, staying calm) are of key importance in work and education settings. Accordingly, the goal of many selection processes is to identify candidates who excel in desired skills. For this, high-fidelity simulations such as assessment centers (ACs) are regarded as ideal procedures because they can be used to evoke, observe, and evaluate candidates’ actual behavior. However, research has repeatedly shown that observed performance differences in ACs are not sufficiently driven by the specific skill dimensions that are defined for assessment. Building on multiple speed assessments and incorporating insights from behavioral personality science, we offer an alternative approach for the reliable and valid assessment of distinct social skills. We hereby (a) selected skills on the basis of a bottom-up analysis of observable and distinguishable interpersonal behaviors and (b) specifically designed exercises around these skills (i.e., one skill per exercise, multiple exercises per skill). Here, we present initial results of this newly developed procedure across three samples in a high-stakes selection context (N = 589). Generalizability theory analyses showed that a substantial amount of variance in assessor ratings could be attributed to the selected skills. This underlines the importance of more behaviorally focused selection procedures.
Social touch deprivation during COVID-19: effects on psychological wellbeing, tolerating isolation and craving interpersonal touch
Authors: Von Mohr Mariana , Kirsch Louise P , Fotopoulou Aikaterini
Published: February 2021

Social touch has positive effects on social affiliation and stress alleviation. However, its ubiquitous presence in human life does not allow the study of social touch deprivation ‘in the wild’. Nevertheless, COVID-19-related restrictions such as social distancing allowed the systematic study of the degree to which social distancing affects tactile experiences and mental health. In this study, 1746 participants completed an online-survey to examine intimate, friendly and professional touch experiences during COVID-19-related restrictions, their impact on mental health and the extent to which touch deprivation results in craving touch. We found that intimate touch deprivation during COVID-19-related restrictions is associated with worse psychological wellbeing, even though this type of touch is still the most experienced during the pandemic. Moreover, intimate touch is reported as the type of touch most craved during this period, thus being more prominent as the days practicing social distancing increase. However, our results also show that the degree to which individuals crave touch during this period depends on individual differences in attachment style: the more anxiously-attached, the more touch is craved; with the reverse pattern for avoidantly-attached. These findings point to the important role of interpersonal and particularly intimate touch in times of distress and uncertainty.
Yukaghir Pictographic Letters from the Collection of the Russian Museum of Ethnography
Authors: Vakhtin Nikolai , Kosyak Natalia
Published: February 2021

The Yukaghir pictography, letters on birch bark, so-called tos (lit. ‘birch bark’) includes letters of two types: those written by men, mostly descriptions of hunting routes, and those written by young women, mostly love letters. While the first type is quite widespread, the second one is very unusual, to the extent that researchers who deal with the history of writing have to single them out into a separate classification category. Almost everything that has been written on Yukaghir pictograms is based on the data collected by Samuil Shargorodskiy and Waldemar Jochelson in the 1890s in north-eastern Yakutia. The present publication introduces three toses of the first type (route maps) recently discovered in the collection of the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St Petersburg. The three toses were acquired by the museum in 1907 from Sergei Buturlin, a well-known ornithologist, together with a detailed commentary to the letters compiled by a member of the 1905 Kolyma expedition Ivan Shulga. The commentary is also published here.
“Let’s Pretend You Took Freddy’s Mask Off”: Communicative Strategies and Agency Redistribution in Digitally-informed Children’s Pretend Play
Authors: Kozlovskaya Angelina
Published: February 2021

The paper addresses the issue of children’s play within a contemporary digital environment. Building on data collected through participant observation at an afterschool club for primary-school children, the article analyzes digitally-informed pretend play in which the plot and the rule-structure of the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” game have been employed as a resource. Andrew Burn’s scheme for the analysis of computer games’ adaptation to the playground and the sociolinguistic classifications of children’s speech patterns used in a pretend play serve as a conceptual framework for this study. An examination of the way children deploy media-references in their play provides evidence for children’s creative meaning-making and their ability to collectively rethink and adjust media-texts to the actual playground context, as well as to their own play goals and needs—while also relying on cultural resources of different kinds. More importantly, the structural borrowing from a digital game and its adaptation to a pretend play gives participants more opportunities to perform agentive acts than they have otherwise; both compared to the original digital game and “wholly original” pretend play. Agency is realized by using specific verbal structures (“you utterances”). These results contradict the adults’ common concerns about children being passive and not imaginative in the process of consuming digital games.
A Review of Ilya Utekhin, Chto takoe vizualnaya antropologiya: putevoditel po klassike etnograficheskogo kino [What Is Visual Anthropology: А Guidebook on the Classics of Ethnographic Cinema]. St Petersburg: Poryadok slov, 2018, 352 pp.
Authors: Danilko Elena
Published: February 2021

This is a review of anthropologist Ilya Utekhin’s What Is Visual Anthropology: A Guidebook on the Classic of Ethnographic Cinema. On the example of classical ethnographic films of the 20th century, the monograph considers the phenomenon of ethnographic cinema as an important part of visual anthropology. The book’s main intent is to show how outstanding projects that shaped visual anthropology as a discipline posed key questions for anthropology as a whole. These include nonverbal communication, the socialization and association of personality types with the dominant ethos of culture, the form and function of ritualized aggression in tribal society, obsession and communication with other beings, psycho-pathology, boundaries of normality, arrangement of specialized social institutes, boundaries of human beings and human projections in relations between human beings and animals. The review focuses on the key problems of developing visual anthropology as a discipline and how they were reflected in films.

Authors: Jha Prakash Kumar , Jha Vinay Kumar
Published: February 2021

The dry spinach leaves fine powder was modified by activation with conc. H2SO4 and the adsorbent material was then characterized by using FTIR, EDX, optical microscopy, XRD analysis and methylene blue adsorption method. The EDX result showed about 95 % carbon in the adsorbent material. The maximum specific surface area measured was 499 m2/g. The weak and broad XRD diffraction peaks at 2θ angles 20.5 and 42° were characterized as of activated carbon with the appearance of sharp peak of SiO2 at 2θ angle 26.37°. Optical microscopy Image analysis showed the Porous nature of adsorbents. The adsorption of arsenite on the modified spinach leaves powder adsorbent was investigated by varying different experimental parameters such as pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and As (Ⅲ) ion concentration. The adsorption process was found to be best fitted to Langmuir adsorption isotherm model controlled by pseudo-second–order kinetics with the rate constant value 0.01830 g/(mg·min). The maximum adsorption was observed at pH 6 at room temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity for As (Ⅲ) on modified spinach leaves powder was found to be 58.480 mg/g. The value of ∆G was -22 kJ/mole which confirmed the adsorption process was favored by physisorption. The slope of the linear plot of Qt vs t0.5 was linear but not passed through the origin, which indicates that, the intraparticle diffusion was not only rate controlling step.

In the industrial world, of course, accuracy in choosing production materials is the main thing. Production materials are chosen not only in terms of the quality of the materials themselves but in terms of choosing the right supplier also determines good production. With the right selection, caution is needed. Therefore, the selection of the selection is done by using several aspects including price, quality of goods, delivery, payment methods, services, and aspects of K3L. To process the data in order to obtain an accurate ranking, namely by using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) and Promethee (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation). With these two methods, the supplier ranking will be obtained from the lowest to the highest. By getting the ranking results, it will certainly make it easier for the leader, in this case, the manager to choose the best supplier. With the selection of the best supplier, of course, the production process will run smoothly and the goods produced will have the best quality. By producing quality products, it will certainly affect the sales results later and it will greatly benefit the company.

“We Couldn’t Do That Even if We Wanted To”: Family and Natality inVeepandHouse of Cards(US)
Authors: Wales Mason
Published: February 2021

Veep (2012–19) and House of Cards (2013–18), as political fictions and adaptations of UK series, provide an opportunity to consider the political significance and thematic mode of Martin Shuster’s “new television” within the specific contexts of both American politics and television. In these series’ invocations of the family, they challenge the idea that, as the sole remaining grounds for normative justification, family lies outside the vortex of late capitalism. In deploying the motif of natality, they foreground the figure of the pregnant woman complicating the supposed relation between natality, politics, and the political. In so doing, these series suggest that we cannot, through natality incubated in the family, “conceive of politics differently” without addressing politics as it is.

Authors:   Kuban State Agrarian University named after I.T. Trubilin, Mikhailushkin P.V. , Popok L.E. ,   Kuban State Agrarian University named after I.T. Trubilin
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the article is to assess the economic efficiency of production of deep processing of grain. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to develop this industry in Russia. However, there are many factors that hinder this process: investors’ distrust of the agro-industrial complex as a low-tech sector, the lack of domestic equipment and highly qualified personnel in the field of biotechnology, as well as the lack of experience in the construction of processing plants. For all its disadvantages, which can be eliminated over time through the implementation of measures for state support of the deep processing industry, there are many advantages. These include the possibility of producing high-tech products that are in demand on world markets, intensive development of the livestock industry by improving the feed base, increasing demand and, accordingly, prices for cereals and legumes in the domestic market, creating new technological jobs, etc. The article evaluates the economic efficiency of the production of deep grain processing products on the example of Russia’s largest producer of corn starches and glucose syrups for the food industry. It is revealed that the company effectively uses the available resources, which is reflected in the growth of labor productivity and return on funds, and a decrease in capital intensity. The profitability of production during the study period decreased slightly, but remains at a high level for the industry – 24-25%.
Temporal Trends in Prognosis of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Complicated by Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia
Authors: Yahud Ella
Published: February 2021

Objectives: To evaluate clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients presented with ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) during the course of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to analyze it according to period of presentation. Background: VTA is an infrequent yet serious complication of ACS. There is limited data regarding the incidence and prognostic implications of VTA in the last decade as compared with the previous decade. Methods: We evaluated clinical characteristics, major adverse cardiovascular events, short and long- term mortality of patients hospitalized with ACS who were enrolled in the Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli Survey (ACSIS) during the years 2000-2016. Patients were classified into three groups: no VTA, early VTA (≤48h of onset) and late VTA (>48h of onset). Data were analyzed according to decades of presentation (current decade vs. previous decade). Results: The study population comprised 15,200 patients. VTA occurred in 487 (3.2%) of patients. Early VTA presented in 373/487 (77%) patients and late VTA in 114/487 (23%) patients. VTA’s, occurring in ACS patients were associated with increased risk of in-hospital, 30-days, 1-year and 5-year mortality rates during both early and late periods in compared with no VTA. Moreover, late VTA was associated with the highest mortality rate with up to 65% in 5-year follow up (p<0.001). Nevertheless, late VTA was associated with lower mortality rate in the current decade (2008-2016) compared with last decade (2000-2006). Conclusions: Any VTA following ACS was associated with high short and long-term mortality rate. Howevr, over the past decade there has been a significant improvement in survival rates, especially in patients with late VTA. This may be attributed to early and invasive reperfusion therapy, implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation and better medical treatment.
Endovascular Balloon Treatment of a Failing Arteriovenous Fistula. A Case Report.
Authors: Edafe Emmanuel
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: Arterio-venous (AV) fistula is created for patients requiring renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis and hemofiltration). A failing A-V fistula requires urgent treatment to keep it patent. Understanding the simple tips and tricks will contribute to the quality of life for the patient with end-stage renal disease and reducing radiation dose to the operator. CASE SUMMARY: A 77 year old male with end-stage renal disease, hypertension and coronary artery disease. He has been on regular haemodialysis after A-V fistula (left forearm) was constructed in 2013. He presented with 2 weeks history of A-V fistula occlusion. Examination was essentially normal. Serum sodium=136mmol/l, potassium=5.5mmol/l urea=100mg/l, creatinine=3.5mg/dl. The Doppler scan showed 50 % stenosis just proximal to the anastomosis with calcification. Percutenous arteriography and venography was done with non-compliance balloon (3x12mm) up to 24 atm . The post procedure venography showed restoration of flow across the fistula. CONCLUSION: Endovascular treatment of a failing A-V fistula can be life saving. The simple tips and tricks of using the groin route, reducing the concentration of contrast and maneuver devices may contribute to safety and reduce radiation to the operator.
Performance Analysis of a Novel Hydrophilic-Coated Transradial Guiding Catheter
Authors: IJsselmuiden A.J.J.
Published: February 2021

Aim: The transradial approach (TRA) has taken an upswing, however access-site complications still exist. The choice of potentially less traumatic materials may minimize these complications. This article describes the use of a hydrophilic-coated 6F guiding catheter for diagnostic and interventional procedures and upper extremity dysfunction following these procedures. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 217 patients who underwent elective transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TR-PCI) for stable and unstable angina, or acute coronary syndrome between May 2014 and November 2016. All patients were treated using a 6F hydrophilic-coated guiding catheter (PRIMUM, PendraCare, Wellinq, the Netherlands). Catheter performance was assessed on a five-point scale ranging from very bad to very good. Procedure safety was assessed using the Major cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) criteria. Results: The average number of guiding catheters used was 1.2 per patient. Overall performance of the catheters was rated Average/Good. Procedural success, defined as TIMI grade 3 flow and successful stent deployment, with a residual diameter stenosis of <25%, was 97.7%. MACCE occurred in 1.5% during the 6-months of follow-up. Conclusion: These data indicate that the use of a hydrophilic-coated guiding catheter to perform percutaneous coronary interventions is safe and effective, with high procedural success and low complication rates. In addition, the short and long-term MACCE outcomes of the PCI were favorable.

Published: February 2021

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm due to mycobacterium tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity. A 29 years old female presented to us with hemoptysis. She was a known case of pulmonary tuberculosis and was on antitubercular treatment. Emergency transcatheter coil embolization of the neck of the sac of pseudoaneurysm arising from the right descending pulmonary artery was done. At 6 months of follow up, the patient was asymptomatic. We are reporting this case due to a rare presentation of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm due to mycobacterium tuberculosis and pulmonary artery as an unusual source of hemoptysis instead of the bronchial artery. Learning objectives Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis although rare but it's a potential life threatening situation, however early detection and prompt management may prevent fatal complications. Thus, the treating physician should keep this as a differential diagnosis whenever a patients presents with a massive hemoptysis.
Playing the edge ball
Authors: Wei Lan , Nguyen Minh T.N.
Published: February 2021

This article analyzes a particular form of everyday politics through the case of land development in a Chinese village. Commonly referred to as edge ball politics (cabianqiu), it implies the act of transgressing certain rules or laws and testing the limits of what is socially and legally possible. We found that the state, the village leadership, private developers, and villagers all vie to influence the outcomes of land development in the village by engaging in this practice. We suggest that edge ball politics plays into the Chinese state’s governing strategies, which allow for a manageable space of negotiation to ward off a collective sense of injustice in the face of rampant dispossession of the weak and accumulation by the powerful.
(Para)normalizing Rape Culture
Authors: Herb Annika
Published: February 2021

Contemporary Young Adult literature is a favored genre for exploring sexual assault, yet rarely interrogates the social structures underpinning rape culture. In its representation of heterosexual relationships, Young Adult paranormal romance offers insight into the processes and structures that uphold rape culture. Genre tropes normalize abusive behavior and gender ideals, demonstrating the explicit and implicit construction of rape culture, culminating in the depiction of supernatural possession analogous to rape. Here, I reflect on power, control, rape culture, and girlhood in a textual analysis of Nina Malkin’sSwoon, Becca Fitzpatrick’sHush, Hush, and Sarah Rees Brennan’sThe Demon’s Covenant. A constructive reading reflects implicit cultural discourses presented to the girl reader, who can apply this to her own negotiation of girlhood.

TITANIUM OXIDE-OXIFLUORIDE SYNTHESIS AND STUDY OF ITS PHOTOCATALYTIC PROPERTIES
Authors: Zhurinov M. Zh. , Abilmagzhanov A. Z. , Ivanov N. S. , Teltayev B. B. , Nurtazina A. E.
Published: February 2021

The research article discusses a new method for the photocatalyst synthesis based on a mixture of titanium oxide - titanium oxyfluoride. The synthesis was performed by dissolving titanium metal in an acidified solution of ammonium bifluoride, followed by oxidation to the highest oxidation state and hydrolysis with ammonia to obtain metatitanic acid. The decomposition of metatitanic acid was carried out in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 380°C. It was found that during the precipitation of metatitanic acid, the titanium compound with the fluoride ion also passes into the precipitate, which, after calcination, transforms into titanium oxyfluoride. Photocatalytic activity was determined by the oxidation reaction of the methyl orange dye upon irradiation with ultraviolet radiation. The source of ultraviolet radiation was a DRT-125 lamp with a wavelength in the range of 200-400 nm. Suspensions containing 60 mg/L of the dye and various contents of the photocatalyst in the concentration range of 1-7 g/L were subjected to oxidation. The construction of the calibration graph and the determination of the concentrations were carried out on an SF-2000 spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 466.4 nm. The operating wavelength was determined by scanning the solution in the wavelength range of 200-800 nm. It was found that as a result of oxidation, the solution pH shifts to the acidic side to 3.5, which leads to a shift in the wavelength of the maximum absorption; in this regard, the solutions pH was adjusted to the same values.

Published: February 2021

Providing the necessary parameters of the microclimate is one of the necessary conditions in the modern construction. For these purposes, there is a set of measures and microclimate support systems applicable in all types of the structural design of buildings. But the features of houses form the modular blocks allow us to move away from standard solutions and use energy-efficient construction technologies, namely, walls with a ventilated interlayer. This design allows us to provide the necessary air exchange in the premises while providing the necessary inlet air temperature. Walls with a ventilated interlayer complement the central ventilation systems or even make it possible to abandon their use. In this article the issue of using walls with ventilated interlayers in the modular blocks, with the use of additional heating of the incoming air in the cold season by using film infrared heaters was considered. The question of the integration of this design with the system of “smart home” was also considered, which will lead to the possibility of creating an energy-efficient building by ensuring cellular regulation of the microclimate parameters. The result of the research is the data required for an approximate calculation of walls with ventilated interlayers and infrared film heating systems, and the possibilities of creating active buildings were also considered. To ensure the energy efficiency of the building, it is proposed to control air exchange and temperature. The control will be carried out directly as follows: in the ventilated walls, at the holes, sensors are installed that will control the speed and temperature of the supply air; a radiant heating film and a recuperator plate that heats the supply air are mounted in the inner heating layer of the wall panel. If the plate temperature is insufficient, the heating film is switched on, which increases the temperature of the supply air masses to the desired temperature.

Na atualidade o mercado de bebidas é um ramo em que grandes nomes se estabelecem, e nessa rigidez imposta por grandes marcas, as pequenas marcas veem grande dificuldade na sua inserção no mercado, e até mesmo em se classificar como concorrente em particular de tais gigantes do mercado. No entanto o ramo da cachaça, bebida genuinamente Brasileira, mostra-se contraria a tal lógica, tendo pelos pequenos produtores o domínio do mercado como aponta a revista Pegn. de negócios da Globo* (2019). A Aguardente 4 Pontes é uma empresa emergente de produção de coquetéis alcoólicos, ao longo de sua história foi se desenvolvendo em relação ao meio de produção, e devido à alta demanda, foi elaborado um projeto para a automatização da sua linha produtiva, que até então era manual. Para isso tomou-se como objetivo construir um protótipo dessa máquina para aumentar a produtividade da empresa. Antes de mais nada o protótipo foi criado e desenvolvido através do componente Arduino UNO e seu micro controlador ATMEGA328, esperando como resultado a dinamização de uma linha de produção que envasasse o líquido precisamente na garrafa. Com a automatização da linha de produção, busca-se tornar o processo mais veloz e eficaz, sendo capaz de baixar o custo de produção de um produto através da substituição do trabalho humano no processo de fabricação, podendo assim dirigir os funcionários para outras funções aumentando consideravelmente a produtividade. Espera-se, com isso, alcançar um modelo que satisfaça a necessidade de produção da fábrica, para que assim a empresa consiga aumentar os requisitos de agilidade, eficácia e capacidade de produção. A pesquisa está embasada em leituras de outros documento e pesquisas qualitativas. Como metodologia a construção de um protótipo, e embasamento teórico por trás da relevância e valor de uma envasadora de baixo custo no mercado, com o qual deverá confirmar a eficácia do projeto.
