Published: December 2022

Introduction: Scleroderma is a connective tissue disease characterized by brosis affecting the skin and internal
organs.Joint involvement has been reported to occur in 46%- 97% of SSc patients. Bone and soft tissues may also be
targeted; calcinosis and acro-osteolysis are thought to be the main characteristic ndings in SSc. Pulmonary disease in SSc falls into two major
categories: interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension. Using PFTs, signicant pulmonary involvement is detectable in 25% of
the patients with SSc within 3 years of initial diagnosis. The gold standard for determination of PAH in patients with SSc is right heart
catheterization. The HRCT features of lung disease are ground-glass opacication predominant or admixed with reticular abnormalities in the
majority of cases and little or no honeycombing. To study the demographic prole, Clini Aims and Objectives: cal Manifestations, Radiological
abnormalities, Lung involvement and PAH. 35 newly diagnosed Sclederma patients Materials and Methods: attending Medicine and
Rheumatology OPD of Medical College Kolkata were studied in this Cross-sectional observational study. Clinical Manifestations are noted and
Radiological Investigations were recorded in structured Proforma. Data analysed using standard statistical methods. In Results and Analysis:
our study, the study population had an F: M ratio of 10:1. majority of population (38%) having age group(30-40) yrs followed by less than 30 yrs
& 41yrs or more (31% each). In our study clinically hand abnormality was evident in 69% patients & radiologically hand abnormality was
evident in 74% patients. In our study population 29% patients have had acroosteolysis, 26% patients had erosion & 19% patients had exion
contracture. In our study we found all the patient with documented ILD had abnormal PFT. In our study group restrictive pattern in PFT was
evident in 63% patients & mixed pattern was evident in 23% patients. Twelve patients (35% of the total cohort) had pulmonary hypertension
dened as PAs of 30 mm Hg or greater. In our study we found Out of 30 patients with documented ILD in HRCT 20 patients had PAH & 10
patients had no PAH. Females are more affected than males. Majority Conclusion: of the patients affected are in the age group of 30-40
years.69% patients had clinically evident hand abnormality and 74% patients had radiologically evident hand abnormality.CXR showed ILD in
63% patients whereas86% patients had documented ILD in HRCT.Restrictive pattern of PFT abnormality is more than mixed pattern.57%
patients had documented PAH in echocardiography.HRCT is more sensitive than chest radiography for detection of ILD.

Authors: DK Patel , KG Piparva , AP Singh
Published: December 2022

Introduction: COVID-19 infection was declared a global pandemic and public health emergency by WHO. In order to avoid getting infected with the virus, various preventive measures were followed including prophylactic medicine, particularly among health care professional working with patients. The current study aimed to evaluate pattern of prophylactic medicines consumed by post graduate doctors for prevention of COVID-19 infection. Methodology: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among the post graduate resident doctors (1st year to 4th year) of various medical specialties working in COVID-19 at various tertiary care teaching hospitals across Gujarat. A questionnaire regarding prophylactic use of medicine was communicated through online tool. Results: Of 311 respondents, mean age was 28±2 years and male to female ratio was 0.94. 8% participants have history of recurrent respiratory infection. Out of 311 participants 233 (74.91%) consumed prophylaxis. Most commonly consumed prophylactic medicine was of allopathy (64%) followed by Complementary & alternative medicine and home remedies (63.02%). Vitamin C (56.27%), Multivitamins (33.11%), Zinc (27%), Azithromycin (21.86%), Hydroxychloroquine (16.72%) were most frequently consumed allopathic medicines. Turmeric (53.06%), Ayurvedic kadha (44.38%), lemon (43.36%) were frequently consumed CAM and home remedies. 20 participants reported Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) in which common ADRs nausea (65%) and Diarrhea (50%). 59.16 % participants developed COVID-19 out of 51.63 % participants had COVID-19 after taking prophylaxis. Occurrence of COVID-19 infection among post-Graduate doctors was not signicantly associated with prophylactic use of medicine. Conclusion: Vitamins, zinc, azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine (allopathic medicines) and turmeric and ayurvedic kadha (CAM) were commonly used prophylactic medicines. Occurrence of COVID-19 infection was not signicantly associated with intake of prophylactic medicine
Towards faster settlement in HTLC-based Cross-Chain Atomic Swaps
Authors: Mazumdar Subhra
Published: December 2022

Hashed Timelock (HTLC)-based atomic swap pro- tocols enable the exchange of coins between two or more parties without relying on a trusted entity. This protocol is like the American call option without premium. It allows the finalization of a deal within a certain period. This puts the swap initiator at liberty to delay before deciding to proceed with the deal. If she finds the deal unprofitable, she just waits for the time- period of the contract to elapse. However, the counterparty is at a loss since his assets remain locked in the contract. The best he can do is to predict the initiator’s behavior based on the asset’s price fluctuation in the future. But it is difficult to predict as cryptocurrencies are quite volatile, and their price fluctuates abruptly. We perform a game theoretic analysis of HTLC-based atomic cross-chain swap to predict whether a swap will succeed or not. From the strategic behavior of the players, we infer that this model lacks fairness. We propose Quick Swap, a two-party protocol based on hashlock and timelock that fosters faster settlement of the swap. The parties are required to lock griefing-premium along with the principal amount. If the party griefs, he ends up paying the griefing-premium. If a party finds a deal unfavorable, he has the provision to cancel the swap. We prove that Quick Swap is more participant-friendly than HTLC- based atomic swap. Our work is the first to propose a protocol to ensure fairness of atomic-swap in a cyclic multi-party setting.

Parasitic Patch-based Power Transfer Efficiency Enhancement of WPT Systems using Circularly Polarized Antennas for IMDs
Authors: Joshi Alok Chandra , Dash Jogesh Chandra , Sarkar Debdeep
Published: December 2022

 In this paper, we propose a parasitic patch-based method to improve the power transfer efficiency of radiative wireless power transfer (WPT) systems involving implanted biomedical devices. The proposed WPT system uses circularly polarised antennas, having a four-element sequentially rotated antenna array, as the Tx and a miniaturized circularly polarized antenna implanted inside a body mimicking gel as the Rx with a parasitic patch placed in close vicinity. The design guidelines for the dimensions of the parasitic patch and its distance from the implanted antenna are discussed in-depth based on rigorous parametric studies and analysis. The proposed parasitic patch-based method improves the implantable antenna gain by 7.83 dBic, thereby increasing the power transfer efficiency at 2.4 GHz operating frequency. Improvement in power transfer is experimentally demonstrated with the help of a low-cost experimental setup having a software-defined radio (SDR) and a spectrum analyzer. Further to analyze the effect of interfering signals on the performance of the WPT system, power received by the implantable antenna is measured in presence of a secondary transmitter. 
A Very Large Cardiac Channel Data Database (VLCD) used to Evaluate Global Image Coherence (GIC) as an In-Vivo Image Quality Metric

Published: December 2022

Ultrasound image quality is of utmost importance for a clinician to reach a correct diagnosis. Conventionally, image quality is evaluated using metrics to determine the contrast and resolution. These metrics requires localization of specific regions and targets in the image such as a region of interest (ROI), a background region, and or, a point scatterer. Such objects can all be difficult to identify in in-vivo images, especially for automatic evaluation of image quality in large amounts of data.

Using a matrix array probe, we have recorded a Very Large cardiac Channel data Database (VLCD) to evaluate coherence as an in-vivo image quality metric.  The VLCD consists of 33 280 individual image frames from 538 recordings of 106 patients. We also introduce a Global Image Coherence (GIC), an in-vivo image quality metric that does not require any identified ROI since it is defined as an average coherence value calculated from all the data pixels used to form the image, below a pre-selected range. The GIC is shown to be a quantitative metric for in-vivo image quality when applied to the VLCD. We demonstrate, on a subset of the dataset, that the GIC correlates well with the conventional metrics contrast ratio (CR) and the generalized contrast-to-noise ratio (gCNR) with R=0.74 (p<0.005) and R=0.62 (p<0.005) respectively. 

There exists multiple methods to estimate the coherence of the received signal across the ultrasound array. We further show that all coherence measures investigated in this study are highly correlated (R>0.9, p<0.001) when applied to the VLCD. Thus, even though there are differences in the implementation of coherence measures, all quantify the similarity of the signal across the array and can be averaged into a GIC to evaluate image quality automatically and quantitatively.

Optimized multilocus sequence analysis for laboratory identification of pathogens of ixodid tick-borne borreliosis
Authors: Golidonova Kristina A. , Korenberg Edward I. , Gintsburg Alexander L.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The most common etiological agents of ixodid tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) in Russia are Borrelia garinii, B. afzelii, B. bavariensis. Multilocus sequence typing and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) have been used in recent studies for Borrelia species identification. The results of using the MLSA scheme for identification of pathogens causing erythemic forms of ITBB have been presented earlier.
The purpose of the study was to explore the possibility of MLSA optimization for laboratory identification of ITBB pathogens. Objectives: comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences of 6 conserved genes (rrs, hbb, fla, groEL, recA, ospA) and the rrfA-rrlB intergenic spacer, which are recommended by the MLSA protocol; identification of the minimum set of genes, the concatenated sequences of which are essential for species identification of Borrelia isolates.
Materials and methods. The sequences of the above loci of 23 reference isolates collected from patients with ITBB and assigned, using MLSA, to B. bavariensis were compared with the sequences of similar genes of other Borrelia species available in international databases. The UPGMA method was used to build and analyze dendrograms based on the obtained data.
Results. The sequences of ospA gene loci of reference species demonstrated the greatest difference (not less than 8.5%) from the sequences of the above gene in other analyzed species of Borrelia; approximately similar species-related differences (not less than 6.7%) were demonstrated by the comparison of recA gene sequences. The sequences of the identified variants of these two genes in B. bavariensis differed from the sequences of the similar genes in the most closely related species B. garinii. The dendrogram of the concatenated nucleotide sequences of recA and ospA genes demonstrated that it was totally consistent with the results of identification of the isolates based on the MLSA protocol.
Conclusion. The optimized approach to MLSA of the B. burgdorferi sensu lato group suggests that species identification should be based on the concatenated analysis of loci of only two genes (recA and ospA) out of 7 loci recommended by the MLSA protocol.
Anatomical and physiological aspects of the HIV infection pathogenesis in animal models

Published: December 2022

Understanding the entire pathogenesis of HIV infection, from penetration at the gates of infection to the induction of severe immunodeficiency, is an essential tool for the development of new treatment methods. Less than 40 years of research into the mechanisms of HIV infection that lead to the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome have accumulated a huge amount of information, but HIV's own unique variability identifies new whitespaces.
Despite the constant improvement of the protocols of antiretroviral therapy and the success of its use, it has not yet been possible to stop the spread of HIV infection. The development of new protocols and the testing of new groups of antiretroviral drugs is possible, first of all, due to the improvement of animal models of the HIV infection pathogenesis. Their relevance, undoubtedly increases, but still depends on specific research tasks, since none of the in vivo models can comprehensively simulate the mechanism of the infection pathology in humans which leads to multi-organ damage.
The aim of the review was to provide up-to-date information on known animal models of HIV infection, focusing on the method of their infection and anatomical, physiological and pathological features.
Two is Better than One? Testing a Deductive MARPOR-based Left-Right Index on Western Europe (1999-2019)
Authors: Trastulli Federico
Published: December 2022

Most of the existing indexes measuring parties’ left-right positions through Manifesto Project (MARPOR) data, including the ‘RILE’, share a partially or fully inductive nature and an underlying assumption of left-right unidimensionality. However, as the structure of party competition in contemporary Western Europe has been recently moving away from traditional ‘left-libertarian/right-authoritarian’ patterns, the inductive and unidimensional characteristics of such instruments may hinder the quality of their measurements. In this article, I introduce and develop a new left-right instrument, which is wholly deductive and relies on an explicit linkage with theoretical sources in the conceptualisation of economic and cultural left and right as the basis for the subsequent index operationalisation through the justified selection of MARPOR items. After deriving the individual deductive economic and cultural left-right scores and employing them in the mathematical formalisation of a synthetic left-right measure to be compared with existing unidimensional instruments, I perform a comparison between the new left-right index and the RILE. Both instruments are empirically tested on a dataset made covering the 20-year period between 1999 and 2019 in 16 Western European countries, for a total of 72 elections and 474 party-election combinations. More specifically, the statistical probes take the form of rank correlation analyses between the election-specific left-right rankings of each index and those provided by the external benchmark of the “Chapel Hill Expert Survey” (CHES). Results are mixed and indicate that, whilst more traditional patterns of competition seem to still apply across the board in pre-Great-Recession years, the new left-right index is a more valid measure of parties’ left-right positions both in the ‘turbulent times’ of the 2010s and in the vast majority of the areas across the region. This is especially true in Southern Europe, for which the RILE is known to be particularly problematic. Hence, this work calls for further discussion on the different patterns of Western European party competition across space and time, as well as differentiated and context-specific deductive left-right measurement.

Objective: To identify and analyze the clinical presentation, management and outcome of patients with acute mechanical bowel obstruction along with the etiology of obstruction and causes of bowel ischemia, necrosis, and perforation. Methods: This is a prospective observational study of adult patients admitted with acute mechanical bowel obstruction between September 2010 and August 2011. Results: Of the 100 patients included in the study, 73 (73%) presented with small bowel and 27 (27%) with large bowel obstruction. Absence of passage of flatus and/or feces (96%) and abdominal distension (92%) were the most common symptoms and physical finding, respectively. Adhesions (51%), incarcerated hernias (14%), Volvulus (14%) and large bowel cancer (12%) were the most frequent causes of obstruction. Sixty-seven patients (67%) were treated operatively and 33 (33%) were treated conservatively. Bowel ischemia was found in 20 cases (20%), necrosis in 13 (13%), and perforation in 3 (3%). Bands and adhesions, hernias, and volvulus, were the most frequent causes of bowel ischemia (65%, 20%, 10%), necrosis (38.46%, 23.08%, 38.46%), and perforation (33.33%, 33.33%, 33.33%). A comparatively higher risk of strangulation was noticed in incarcerated hernias and volvulus than bands and adhesions. Conclusion: Absence of passage of flatus and/or feces and abdominal distension are the most common symptoms and physical finding of patient'> with acute mechanical bowel obstruction, respectively. Adhesions, hernias, volvulus and large bowel cancer are the most common causes of obstruction, as well as of bowel ischemia, necrosis, and perforation. Although an important proportion of these patients can be non-operatively treated, a major portion requires immediate operation. Great caution should be taken for the treatment of these patients since the incidence of bowel ischemia, necrosis, and perforation is significantly high.

Introduction: Acute poisoning is an important medical emergency. The nature of poison used varies in different parts of the world and may vary even in others parts of the same country depending on socioeconomic factors and cultural diversity. Self-poisoning accounts for about one-third of the world’s suicides. Objective: To assess the pattern of poisoning among the autopsies. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Dept. Of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh January to June 2022. The study included alleged poisoning deaths, inquest reports, and suicidal notes; PM Reports, hospital records, and FSL reports were scrutinized. The inclusive parameters included Age, sex, socioeconomic status, hospital treatment, motive, and type of poisoning. Exclusion criteria: Highly decomposed cases. Results: The incidence of poisoning was highest in the age group of 31-40 years (21.67%) followed by 21-30 years (20%), and the least was encountered in the elderly age group. Male (51.67%) preponderance was more over female (48.33%). The most common type of poison consumed was Organophosphorus Compound (48.33%) followed by Phosphide (18.33%), Alcohol (15%), and the rest were due to Carbamates (10%) and over-the-counter medications OCT (8.33%). The common reasons for consuming poison were financial constraints (21.4%) followed by ill health (15.55%). The maximum incidence of poisoning was found in the age group of 31 to 40 years. The common reasons for consuming poison were Familial discord (26.66%) followed by Financial matters (16.67%), Unemployment (15%). Out of 60 cases 44 cases were treated in hospital but not survived and the rest died at the site of poisoning or before reaching the hospital.Conclusion: Deaths due to poisoning are on the steep rise due to which there is a huge loss of lives and a devastating impact on communities. Health care services particularly emergency resuscitative services should be made available at all levels, promoting poison information centers, and introducing separate toxicological units in the hospitals to manage cases of poisoning in emergencies could possibly help us to bring down the morbidity and mortality rate.
Uncommon Distribution of C20 and C21 Tricyclic Terpanes in Niger Delta Crude Oils
Authors: Ajie Michael Junior , Onyema Mark Obinna
Published: December 2022

C20 and C21 tricyclic terpanes were investigated in crude oils from Niger Delta, Nigeria. From comparison of the mass chromatograms (m/z 191) of two crude oil samples (CEN-21 and WST-69) with related literatures on tricyclic terpanes which eluted from the gas chromatography (GC) within certain retention time, 12 peaks were selected. Peaks 1 - 5 were selected as C20 tricyclic terpane isomers (TR20a-e) and peaks 6 - 12 selected as C21 tricyclic terpanes (TR21a-g). This distribution is usually as crude oils show a single peak each and indicate the distribution of C20 and C21 tricyclic terpanes in the Niger Delta crude oils is uncommon. Total abundances showed the C20 and the C21 tricyclic terpanes were more in CEN-21 than WST-69 with ratios of 3.07 and 1.84, respectively, with TR20a, TR20b, TR20d and TR21d being the most abundant isomers in both oil samples. These abundances indicate CEN-21 was thermally more mature than WST-69 and that the C20 tricyclic terpanes were generated more than the C21 tricyclic terpanes with increasing thermal maturity of the crude oils. Significant similarities observed in the normalized composition profiles and 66 derived ratios suggest the Niger Delta crude oil samples were genetically related and were predominantly derived from terrigenous Tertiary deltaic petroleum systems. Some differences observed in the composition profile and derived ratios indicate minor input from a different source, depositional environment and/or maturity level and are suggestive as indicators for evaluation, correlation and/or discrimination of the Niger Delta crude oils.

Published: December 2022

The family is the first social environment known to humans. The family is a social institution that functions to improve all the abilities that exist in each individual. However, it is not uncommon for families to have cases of irregularities or illegal activities that cause misery or suffering and are carried out by members of one family against other family members such as molestation, rape, and even leading to murder. This situation is commonly referred to as Domestic Violence or more commonly abbreviated as domestic violence. The formulation of the problems in this dissertation research is: 1) Why is the regulation of legal protection for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence not fair? 2) What are the weaknesses of the current legal protection regulations for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence? 3) How is the reconstruction of legal protection regulations for victims of domestic violence crimes based on the value of justice? The research method uses a constructivist paradigm, with a sociological juridical approach. Methods of data collection by observation and interviews, with qualitative analysis data analysis method. The results of the study are 1) Regulation of legal protection for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence has not been fair, it is worth considering who has the most initiative among couples in the household to commit acts of violence, including the scale of differences in physical strength and ability between husband and wife and seriousness in using physical force. Most women are victims of violence perpetrated by people who are closely related to them. Domestic violence is generally perpetrated by men against women, generally violence by husbands against wives. 2) Weaknesses of legal protection regulations for victims of criminal acts of domestic violence at this time in terms of legal substance, law enforcers in carrying out law enforcement are only oriented to legal certainty, not legal justice. From the aspect of the legal structure, the synergy between the apparatus has not been optimal, the weakness in this case since the enactment of the PKDRT Law in 2004, there are still many cases of violence against women that occur in society and many are even unsolved. In terms of legal culture, the factors behind domestic violence can be identified due to gender and patriarchal factors. 3) Reconstruction of Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence by changing and adding imprisonment and fines in Article 44, and the second reconstruction by adding the value of justice to Article 54.

Published: December 2022

Background: Urinary retention is a worldwide health problem mostly noted in elderly men who may have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), cancer of the prostate (Cap), urethral stricture disease or bladder tumour. It has a negative impact on the quality of life (QOL) of the sufferer as well as national or global economy. Urethral catheterization is used to relief the retention and suprapubic cystostomy where the urethral route fails or it’s contraindicated. Complications have been reported especially when catheters are worn for prolonged periods of time. The aim of this work was to study the burden of prolonged use of catheters after urinary retention. Patients and Method: The study was conducted in March 2021 and lasted for four (4) weeks to prevent data duplication since our patients change their catheters once in 4 weeks. A questionnaire was designed and completed by all patients after informed consent was obtained. Data collected were analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 20.0 and results used for discussion. Results: Eighty two (82) patients with a mean age of 63.12±14.67 years were studied. Aetiology of urinary retention was BPH, Cap, and Urethral stricture in 58.5%, 19.5% and 23.0% respectively. More patients were in their 7th and 8th decades of life. Most patients had indwelling urethral catheter (65.9%), average duration of catheter use was 21.26 months. There was no statistical significant difference in the mean duration between those who used SPC and Urethral catheter (P= .411).Ninety-eight (98.7%) of patients had complications and 22% of them reported more than five (5) complications. Qol correlated poorly with those who had sexual issues due to prolonged catheter use. The estimated annual cost for catheter change was between N1.5million and N2.0 million in our facility. Conclusion: Prolonged catheter use is a source of concern to patients and poses serious health-related and financial burden to them.

Background: Measurement of Prostate Volume (PV) is fundamental in the proper management of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although a crude way of assessing PV, digital rectal examination (DRE) has been used in various centres and then objectified by the use of Transrectal Ultrasound Scan (TRUS) measurement for reasons of accuracy. Prostate volume measurement together with the use of international prostate symptom score (IPSS) is central in choosing treatment modalities whether medical or surgical. In this study, we aimed at correlating PV measured by DRE and TRUS. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective study of seventy four (74) patients being managed for BPH in our facility between September 2019 and December 2020 who met inclusion criteria. Full clinical history was obtained together with physical examination and well-focused DRE of the prostate to estimate PV based on Romero et al., technique combined with the sliding scale technique. Subsequently patients were sent for TRUS measurements of the prostate which is also a routine procedure in BPH managements. Data were collated and analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 Results: A total of 74 patients were studied with a mean age of 63.05±9.89 years ranging from 43 to 90 years. Mean PV estimated by DRE was 47.91±14.16 mls and that by TRUS was 53.42±25.33 mls. There was a statistically significant correlation in PV measurements between the two modalities (P v=.750, PV < .05). Conclusion: PV measured by DRE closely approximates TRUS measurements.

Published: December 2022

Este artigo parte de uma tese cujo estudo foca as percepções das professoras participantes. Considera-se o ensino da produção textual como movimento gradativo e processual, perpassando o contexto do ensino médio. Os dados decorrem de um processo de pesquisa vivenciado em uma escola estadual do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, com base na questão: “Quais as principais percepções dos participantes da pesquisa sobre características, desafios e possibilidades do ensino, que marcam a prática de produção textual, coletivamente vivenciada na escola?”. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, abrangeu aplicação de questionário e construção de diário de bordo. Os resultados referendam a aposta na formação docente continuada como condição para promover processos de ensino que potencializem o pleno desenvolvimento humano. Também permitem afirmar que o ensino da produção textual é um processo gradativo e sinaliza que, quando professor e estudante analisam e reconstroem em conjunto os textos, retomam e expandem ciclos de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento, na imbricação entre áreas, conhecimentos linguísticos e formas como isso se faz presente na enunciação e produção do texto.

An approach to automation of the distributed information systems development is proposed, which makes it possible to radically reduce the role of traditional development, up to the complete transfer this function to specialists in the subject area of an automated enterprise. It is proposed to achieve this through the development of a specialized multi-level language for describing subject areas, built on the ideas basis of the domain driven design, event storming and other means for describing business processes. A certain phasing in the implementation of this approach is proposed. Examples of implementation of some components are given. The necessity of the intermediate representation standardization for the subject area description is shown.

AS POLÍTICAS ESPACIAIS CONTEMPORÂNEAS E A REPRODUÇÃO DO CAPITAL E DO URBANO
Authors: Alvarez Isabel Aparecida Pinto
Published: December 2022

Neste artigo pretende-se discutir a hipótese de que as políticas espaciais vêm se constituindo como a mediação fundamental do processo de reprodução do capital e do urbano. Nas últimas décadas, as políticas espaciais revelam a produção do espaço como instrumento do processo de valorização do capital, articulando interesses especulativos e produtivos na produção de novas frentes de expansão do capital, especialmente nas grandes cidades. Além de grandes projetos de reestruturação urbana, considerados como mediação da superação da obsolescência, a partir dos anos 1990, vê-se o crescimento de políticas espaciais relacionadas à mitigação da pobreza, financiadas pelo Banco Mundial.
POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS URBANÍSTICAS Y PARTICIPACIÓN CIUDADANA EN BARCELONA
Authors: Robira Rosa Tello
Published: December 2022

La regulación de la participación social ha dado lugar a experiencias y modos distintos de participación: las impulsadas por las instituciones públicas, las impulsadas por organizaciones político-sociales y las organizadas desde la convivencia ciudadana en momentos y espacios urbanos concretos. A partir del estudio de procesos de participación colectiva, en la transformación de barrios centrales y periféricos de la ciudad de Barcelona, se muestra que dichos procesos constituyen resistencias sociales a los proyectos públicos de transformación urbana. Según el valor locacional de los barrios, los procesos participativos en los procesos urbanísticos –algunos enmascarados de revalorización del hábitat y de las rentas inmobiliarias- son más o menos intensos y largos según sean las resistencias tanto de la administración local como de los vecinos. A partir de la valoración de los resultados de estos casos se establecen ventajas y las problemáticas que deben encarar los distintos agentes de participación en los procesos de transformación urbana.

Published: December 2022

The methods of research and development of calibration of radio sensors with use of various models of parameters drift of radio sensors is solved. The main tasks and approaches to the development and synthesis of the autocalibration system in the network of radio sensors are determined. The proposed method of error detection and correction of measurement results of radio sensors in the network is based on the assumption of spatio-temporal correlation of measurement results in neighboring sensors and the lack of mutual correlation of drift processes of technical parameters. The use of the auxiliary regression vector, according to the equation of which the forecast of future measurement results is calculated, is proposed and substantiated for the analysis of the space-time correlation. It is established that there is a certain compromise in the choice of the optimal sample length during measurements.
