Published: September 2024

A utilização de robôs em atividades cotidianas se faz cada vez mais abundante e necessária, sendo os mesmos usados tanto para ambiente domiciliar quanto para ambiente industrial. Alguns exemplos a serem citados que coincidem com o que foi descrito, são: a utilização de robôs para carregar algum peso que se fosse realizado por humanos e feito repetições excessivas pode acarretar problemas físicos; a utilização de autômatos em casas adaptadas para ajudar os moradores dela. Dessa forma, o estudo sobre autômatos humanoides contribui para o conhecimento e aprendizado na área da eletrônica, da programação, da modelagem, tendo como possibilidade seu uso na construção desses robôs que estão entrando cada vez mais em alta. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desse trabalho é compreender e otimizar o custo de produção e as etapas na produção de um robô com ênfase em se parecer humanoide. Para isso, o trabalho foi dividido nas seguintes etapas (i) criação da parte inferior do robô - do quadril ao pé -; (ii) utilização do Proporcional integral Derivativo (PID) para que o robô não caia ao se desequilibrar; (iii) criação da parte superior do corpo - cabeça ao quadril -; (iv) junção da parte superior e inferior junto ao molde.

Published: September 2024

As patologias cardíacas se configuram na maior taxa de morbimortalidade na população mundial, sendo, portanto, um problema de saúde pública. É uma condição que afeta ambos os sexos e que ocorre em qualquer idade, e quando este evento ocorre fora do ambiente hospitalar, tende a receber um apoio de suporte básico de vida (BLS) precário, fator que predispõe a um pior prognóstico. Entretanto, as habilidades que auxiliam no atendimento precoce extra hospitalar são simples e podem ser realizadas pela população leiga, quando devidamente instruída pelos profissionais de saúde. Isso  promove uma melhor sobrevida aos indivíduos acometidos. Com isso em mente, foi idealizado o projeto de extensão “Habilidades Simples que Salvam Vidas”, onde ligantes da Liga Acadêmica de Terapia Intensiva da Faculdade Ciências Médicas de Minas Gerais (LATI FCM-MG) promoveram o conhecimento do BLS à população leiga. Foram elaborados panfletos e slides a serem usados na abordagem teórica e utilizados manequins de simulação realística para a parte prática, realizada em praças públicas e escolas, com crianças do ensino fundamental II. Após a realização da intervenção ficou evidente a necessidade dessas habilidades serem reproduzidas de forma mais ampla à população, uma vez que são preditoras de melhor prognóstico e podem ser realizadas por qualquer pessoa. Diante do sucesso da abordagem de simulação realística com crianças, compreende-se que as práticas de primeiros socorros são, de fato, simples e devem ser introduzidas em todos ambientes de ensino e trabalho. Tal fato proporciona um atendimento precoce e efetivo no ambiente  extra hospitalar com repercussões positivas na recuperação de pessoas acometidas por essas morbidades.

Introduction: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a fundamental procedure for coronary artery disease management, yet the risk of adverse events such periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) persists. This double-blind, randomized clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of empagliflozin in preventing myocardial injury during PCI procedure. Methods: A total of 90 patients were randomly assigned to two groups A and B; Group A as the intervention group received empagliflozin 25 mg 24 hours before and empagliflozin 10 mg 1-2 hours before coronary intervention and group Bas the control group received placebo at similar intervals. The primary outcome involved comparing baseline, 8-hour, and 24-hour cTnI and baseline and 24-hour hs-CRP levels after PCI in both groups to measure the incidence of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) and anti-inflammatory effects of empagliflozin. Results: Baseline cTnI levels with P=0.955, 8 hours after PCI with P=0.469, and 24 hours after the intervention with P=0.980 were not statistically different in the two groups. Baseline levels of hs-CRP in both intervention and control groups were not statistically significantly different (P=0.982). Also, there was no statistically significant difference in hs-CRP levels 24 hours after PCI in two groups (P=0.198). Finally, the results showed that MACEs did not occur in any of the groups. Conclusion: The results of this trial could not express the advantages of acute pretreatment with empagliflozin in preventing PCI-related myocardial injury.

Introduction: Evidence declared lipopolysaccharide (LPS) initiates inflammatory responses by stimulating the abandon of cytokines, which may perturb organ function. On the other side, it has been suggested Cedrol has potential properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. Herein, this study was done to assess the protective effect of Cedrol against LPS-associated heart damage. Methods: Thirty-five rats (200-250 g) were sorted into five groups, including control, LPS, LPS-Cedrol 7.5 mg/kg, LPS-Cedrol 15 mg/kg, and LPS-Cedrol 30 mg/kg groups. Cedrol was administrated through injected intra-peritoneally for two weeks. The heart tissues were removed and malondialdehyde (MDA) as a lipid peroxidation marker, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) as antioxidant markers were assessed. Furthermore, the interleukin (IL)-6 level in cardiac tissue was measured and Masson’s trichrome methods were employed to appraise cardiac inflammation and fibrosis, respectively. Results: Inflammation induced by LPS was significantly accompanied by myocardial fibrosis which was shown by Masson’s trichrome staining (P<0.001). In addition, LPS administration enhanced the MDA level while it diminished the activity of anti-oxidant markers such as CAT and SOD (P<0.001 for all cases). In the histological results, Cedrol improved LPS-induced inflammation and cardiac fibrosis (P<0.01 to P<0.001). Cedrol also enhanced CAT and SOD activities, whereas declined MDA level in the cardiac tissue (P<0.01 to P<0.001). Conclusion: The current findings proposed that the administration of Cedrol exerted a protective role in LPS-associated heart damage by reducing inflammation, cardiac fibrosis, and oxidative stress.

Authors: Salim Bindu , G Thamayanthi , Mariappan Vanamoorthy
Published: September 2024

Dynamic pressure sensors in contrast to static pressure sensors measure pressure changes in liquids or gases generated due to a blast, a propulsion or an explosion, where the temperature is normally high which is above 700°C[1]. Piezoelectric pressure sensors with their inherent advantage of direct transduction capability are drawing attention for high-temperature applications. Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) are popular ferroelectric materials for Piezoelectric sensor applications.  Aluminum Nitride (AlN) is a suitable candidate for high-temperature applications with its high melting point of 2673 K, the piezoelectric property remaining stable even up to 1423K, the energy band gap of 6.2eV, piezoelectric coefficient d33 of 7pC/N and pressure handling capacity up to 10 MPa. In this study, COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3 was used to analyse the pressure sensing capability of AlN film by optimizing the crystal orientation and the dimension of AlN in addition to studying suitability of using at high temperature. Also a comparison is done on the high temperature performance of pressure sensor using Silicon and Silicon Carbide as diaphragm.

This paper presents the idea, design, and prototype of a flight search and airline booking system based on the perspective of user-centered design. The system is first sketched roughly on paper in the form of a sketched plan and implemented through the proper system by connecting with the rapid API to develop a responsive web application. Booking travel tickets is a hassle and quite stressful because there is a chance that the webpages take time, and several decisions to make, hard to choose a discounted or less expensive flight, and the user will have to put in a lot of effort with many browser tabs may leave open. If a user is looking for the lowest travel options within a range of dates, they need to search a lot of websites looking for better options. As UX designers, it is our responsibility to do some user research and identify the problem areas, then we will recommend some design options based on the research findings. After that, we will create a wireframe and prototype before jumping into web design by collecting all the requirements and analyzing the problems. We will be focusing on UI controls such as location picker, date picker, color contrast, accessibility, and so on. In this paper, we present the design and development of a user-centered flight search and booking system for the airline industry. Our goal is to create a system that would meet the needs and preferences of a diverse set of users. This paper will summarize the design, development, and implementation of an airline reservation system. We have used bubble.io to design the overall system and MYSQL as the database management system for this webpage. Our objective is to upgrade the current website by improving the usability, visibility, and responsiveness of the functions that the user will experience while buying a flight ticket. We have generated and managed the design documentation and a perfect user-based online flight booking system.

Image processing and Machine learning in Concrete Cube Crack detection
Authors: Somnath Patil Meenakshi , R.B Ghongade , Salunke Rupali Vilas
Published: September 2024

Concrete cube testing plays a crucial role in various aspects of modern construction. The structural performance of concrete cubes under direct compressive stress can result in failure through concrete cube breakout. Failure modes related to concrete can be classified into two types: acceptable and non-acceptable, with further classification into various modes. However, most of the time 80% to 90% of the cubes are inaccurately selected, leading to lower strength and sustainability of concrete. Moreover, the excessive usage of cement required due to these inaccuracies contributes to global warming and increases costs. To address these issues, this research aims to develop an industry 4.0 solution for the construction and civil engineering fields. The proposed solution will be reliable, efficient, and based on image processing techniques. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is used to detect and analyze cracks in concrete cubes. By examining the crack patterns, the damage area can be determined. By leveraging industry 4.0 technologies and advanced analysis techniques, this research aims to revolutionize the way concrete cube testing is conducted. The proposed solution will provide a reliable and efficient method for evaluating concrete cube quality, mitigating the negative impacts associated with inaccurate cube selection, and improving the performance and environmental sustainability of concrete in construction applications.
Textual reduction in translated dialogue in film versus literary fiction
Authors: Oksefjell Ebeling Signe
Published: September 2024

By exploring the correlation between textual reduction and length of utterance as well as surveying what grammatical elements are omitted to cause textual reduction, this paper seeks to establish what mechanisms are at play in the translation of dialogue in film vs. fiction. The need for economy of translation found in subtitling might suggest that textual reduction is more widespread in subtitles than in translated fiction. On the basis of two small-size corpora, it is shown that the longer the utterance the greater the possibility for reductions in both modes of translation. However, and perhaps not surprisingly, there is less textual reduction in translated dialogue in fiction overall. Moreover, translated fiction seems to allow longer utterances than subtitles before reduction takes place. With regard to the elements that are omitted, similar patterns can be found, although subtitles show a clearer tendency for interpersonal elements to be omitted.

A promising way to solve current problems of energy saving and reducing environmental pollution may be the use of microalgae. These simple microorganisms are capable of purifying contaminated wastewater in agriculture. Wastewater contains nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfate and other contaminants. In order to optimize the technology of obtaining biodiesel fuel from lipid components in the conditions of small agricultural producers, the possibility of using Chlorella vulgaris in cleaning from ammonium ions and phosphate ions was studied. Chlorella was cultivated in a photobioreactor on a standard Tamiya medium and wastewater for 10 days at a temperature of 30 ° C and an illumination of 14 kLx in the red (620-740 nm), blue (430-500 nm) and green (500-565 nm) wavelength ranges. The filtrate of the microalgae suspension was collected over several days and assessed for the content of phosphate and nitrate ions using a photometric method. The greatest increase was observed with illumination in the red range (2 times higher), the minimum value in the green. The studies found that cell growth occurs both in synthetic, standard nutrient media and in wastewater, the latter being more costeffective. It was found that when adding chlorella to wastewater, the maximum decrease in the content of ammonium ions and phosphate anions is observed on the 6-7th day (by 19-59% and 5-29%, respectively), which is most likely due to the use of these elements by microalgae for nutrition and maintenance of life. A scheme for growing Chlorella vulgaris on wastewater for further production of lipid components of biodiesel fuel is proposed.

The article presents the research aimed at creating a cooling system in a vehicle cabin that would have the fastest and most effective effect on the operator's body, while being environmentally friendly and cost-effective. It has been found that the efficiency of a vehicle operator's work is affected by the temperature and humidity parameters of the cabin (salon) microclimate. A multi-level approach has been applied to drawing up a heat balance for supplying and removing heat to the driver of a vehicle, taking into account the feasibility of cooling only a local area of his body. An analysis of the results of experiments on the possibility of using ventilation air flow distributors for local volumes with people there is given. It has been found that the operation of existing standard cooling and ventilation systems in a vehicle cabin is associated with significant energy costs, the consumption of a large amount of fuel, and a decrease in its environmental friendliness and efficiency. This is caused by the design complexity of the cooling system, its immobility relative to the operator's body, as a result of which the flow distributed in any direction exits the surface elements of the cabin, is washed out in the total volume, loses the required blowing speed, and, as a consequence, the cooling effect. It is possible to improve the air flow distributor of the vehicle cabin due to the channel having two truncated cones located one in the other, allowing to change the cross-section of the outlet opening and the direction of air flow distribution. The following were obtained: temperature distribution of round jets of the ventilation system of the MTZ-100 tractor at an outside air temperature of tн=29.5 °C without a cooler and with a cooler, a mathematical expression for determining the distance from the distributor. It was found that while maintaining the average heat transfer coefficient at the level of 6.5 W/m2 and the air outlet speed of 1 m/s, the total heat removal increases approximately 2.4 times.

Endogenous Cushing's syndrome or endogenous hypercorticism is a rare entity, due to chronic, excessive tissue exposure to glucocorticoids, resulting from excess adrenocorticotropic hormone production or excessive adrenal-autonomous secretion of glucocorticoids. The diagnosis can only be made if the clinical features and biochemical abnormalities are present. Its comorbidities and complications can easily lead to death. Our work is a retrospective descriptive study of all patients with Cushing's syndrome hospitalized in the Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Department of the Mohamed VI University Hospital, Marrakech, a total of 34 patients. The aim of this study was to establish the epidemiological, clinical, radiological and etiological profile of Cushing's syndrome observed in the Endocrinology Department of the CHU, and to evaluate the diagnostic modalities, associated parameters and therapeutic management, while comparing them with data in the national and international literature. Our series was characterized by a clear female predominance (4/1) and an average age of 29.2 years. Discovery followed weight gain in 53% of patients, headache in 35%, hirsutism and secondary amenorrhea in 32% and 29% respectively. The most common clinical signs were hypercorticism in 71% of cases and hyperandrogenism in 59%. Biologically, to detect hypercorticism, dexamethasone minute braking was performed in 65% of cases. ACTH dependence was found in 91% of cases, with Cushing's disease found in 53% of cases, diagnosed on MRI, with a microadenoma in 65% of cases. Among the causes of ACTH Independence, adrenocortical carcinomas were found on adrenal CT in 25% of cases, and adenomas in 31.2%. From a therapeutic point of view, surgery took first place in these cases: trans-sphenoidal adenomectomy for adrenocortical adenomas and adrenalectomy for adrenal tumors. Adrenalectomy was also indicated in two cases of ACTH-dependent hypercorticism (Cushing's disease and paraneoplastic) ......

Background: Levofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is commonly used in treating lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) like pneumonia and chronic bronchitis. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to inhibit bacterial DNA gyrase, leading to bacterial cell death. Clinical outcomes of levofloxacin in LRTI treatment have generally been positive, with high rates of bacterial eradication and symptom resolution. Objective: The present research aimed to determine whether levofloxacin is an effective and safe option for treating lower respiratory tract infections. Method: From January 2022 to January 2023, researchers analyzed data from 120 patients with a lower respiratory tract infection at a tertiary hospital. Sixty patients were split evenly between a control group and an observation group. Levofloxacin was administered at the standard dosage to the control group and at a significantly higher dose to the observation group. Both the clinical efficacy and adverse reaction rates were compared and contrasted between the two groups statistically. Results: The cure rate in the observation group was 53.33 percent, which was substantially greater than the cure rate in the control group, which was 36.67 percent. There is a statistically significant difference between them (P 0.05). The overall efficacy rate of the observation group was 93.33%, significantly higher than that of the control group (73.33%). There is a statistically significant difference between them (P 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) between the two groups due to the low incidence of adverse responses in both the observation and control groups. Conclusion: This research demonstrates that large dosages of levofloxacin have a stronger clinical curative impact on treating lower respiratory infections than lesser doses. It is worthwhile to promote the widespread adoption of this technique since it has the potential to greatly enhance the quality of patient care
