Published: April 2023

Esta pesquisa objetivou identificar, a partir das percepções dos gestores, em que medida as informações de custos são efetivamente utilizadas como instrumento de apoio à gestão na Universidade Federal de Integração Latino Americana (UNILA). Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, por meio da observação das informações de custos disponibilizadas na página eletrônica da UNILA e aplicação de questionário Survey com escala do tipo Likert, junto aos gestores da Instituição. Os resultados demonstraram que 37,32% dos gestores consideram alta a utilização das informações de custos nos processos de gestão, enquanto 33,45% consideraram média, 20,05% pouco e 3,24% nenhuma, sendo que 5,95% não souberam indicar. Observou-se ainda que o sistema de informação de custos adotado pela UNILA dispõe dos atributos estruturantes que propiciam que as informações de custos sejam relevantes e úteis para os processos decisórios, porém requer a sistematização da frequência e regularidade do fornecimento das informações aos seus usuários. O estudo oferece um diagnóstico sobre a utilização das informações de custos, que poderá subsidiar ações de aprimoramento do modelo, bem como futuros estudos sobre a adoção de sistemas de custos nos órgãos públicos.

Published: April 2023

South Africa can be referred to as a thriving democracy with explicit separation of powers between the legislative (national and provincial parliaments, including municipal councils), executive (national and provincial cabinets, including municipal councils), and judicial authorities.  Its governance landscape has been transformed into three distinctive spheres of government with national, provincial and local governments executing their respective constitutional mandates in the spirit of cooperative governance; independent yet interrelated. This paper attempts to capture an overview of the third tier of governance in South Africa, namely municipal local government, with a focus on the agenda of developmental local government.

Authors: Mehboob Irsa , Munawar Khan Mubbsher
Published: April 2023

Marketing through social media has become one of the largest platforms for human interaction in the past decade. The total number of social media users in Pakistan has crossed 35 million, which is 16% of the population. This research focuses on empirically testing a theoretical model having social networking, community engagement, and brand use as main antecedents impacting brand loyalty with brand trust as mediator. This research used a comprehensive model of brand loyalty for the development of social media strategy to influence consumer's brand perceptions along with brand trust. The population of the study consists of those 500 consumers belonging from public sector platforms who use social media channels to purchase the products. Moreover, a non-probability convenience sampling technique is applied to gather the data via the electronic survey method. Furthermore, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique, Reliability analysis, Confirmatory factor analysis techniques are applied to test the proposed hypothesis as proposed by Heir et al., (2013). The results show a significantly affirmative and direct effect of social networking on consumer brand loyalty. Community Engagement and Brand usage also substantially affects consumer loyalty with the mediating role of brand trust. The findings validate a significant role of community engagement and social networking in developing brand loyalty. Thus, the research findings are expected to be helpful for marketing firms in managing their social media communication tools.

Published: April 2023

Background: Information technology can enhance timely and individual support for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and their informal carers. Objective: To review the effectiveness of technology-based counselling interventions for people with dementia and informal carers. Methods: Randomized controlled trials of remote dementia counselling interventions were included. We searched CINAHL, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and the Web of Science Core Collection (April 2021) in combination with citation tracking and free web searching (October to November 2021). We provide meta-analyses for caregiver depression, burden, and self-efficacy/mastery and structured reporting for other outcomes. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach and the Risk of Bias 2 tool were applied. Results: We included five randomized controlled trials involving 880 participants. Interventions were provided for carers (four studies) or dyads (one study). Carers were predominantly women and were the spouses or children of people with dementia. Counselling was delivered via telephone or videoconference with two to 23 sessions over 1 to 12 months. Control groups received educational and resource materials only, standard (helpline) services, non-directive support, or home visits. Meta-analysis for our primary outcome, depressive symptoms in carers, revealed no statistically significant effect (SMD –0.15; 95% CI –0.40 to 0.10). There were also no significant effects on burden and self-efficacy/mastery. We rated the certainty of evidence as low to very low and all outcomes at an overall high risk of bias. Conclusion: The effectiveness of technology-based counselling interventions for people with dementia and informal carers remains uncertain. Theory-based approaches are needed for the development and evaluation of these interventions.

Published: April 2023

Microwave vacuum drying of pineapple slices was carried out to investigate the microwave power degree on the drying kinetics and heat mass transfer characteristics. Numerical simulation and bench test were used to study the variation characteristic of microwave volumetric heating and temperature and moisture during the drying process, and the best drying model was selected. The result shows that the drying process of the pineapple slices belonged to the falling rate period without constant drying stage; Among 6 common thin layer drying kinetic models, the mean values of R2 were maximum, χ2 and RMSE for the Two-term exponential model were minimum, which were 0.9993, 0.000107 and 0.00839, respectively. As the temperature rose to 40∼45∘C at the late stage of drying, the thermal runaway phenomenon appeared, and the internal temperature of pineapple slices rose sharply. Hot spots appeared at the center and edge of pineapple at the late stage of drying, and it generated by microwave volumetric heating focusing. The predicted values of moisture ratio (MR) obtained from COMSOL simulation showed good consistency with the Two-term exponential model and the experimental. In order to improve the drying quality of the pineapple, the microwave power should be varied and reasonable interval to make the drying temperature lower than the thermal runaway temperature range.
A novel negative selection algorithm with hyper-rectangle detectors based on full coverage of state space for anomaly detection
Authors: Gu Ming , Li Dong , Gong Lanlan , Liu Jia , Liu Shulin
Published: April 2023

The traditional negative selection algorithm with a randomly generated hypersphere detector is unable to satisfy the development needs of continuous learning due to the inherent defects of the detector. This paper proposes a novel negative selection algorithm for hyper-rectangle detectors that overcomes the shortcomings of randomly generated hyper-sphere detectors and lays the foundation for a negative selection algorithm with continuous learning capability. It uses self-sample clusters of equal-sized hypercubes instead of self-samples for training. The hyper-rectangle detectors are generated by cutting the nonself-space along the boundary of the self-sample clusters. The state space is covered without overlapping each other by self-sample clusters and detectors. The anomaly detection performance of the proposed method was demonstrated using Iris data, vowel recognition data (Vowel), and Wisconsin Breast Cancer (BCW) data. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other artificial immune algorithms and clustering algorithms under the same parameter conditions.

Authors: Xu Qian
Published: April 2023

As the problem of sub-health continues to expand among urban residents, forestry tourism has been further developed, and forest wellness travel for the purpose of recuperation has gradually become the focus of transformation and upgrading of the current big health industry. In order to refine the evaluation of the development potential of regional forest health tourism and achieve further promotion of regional forest health tourism, the study first established the construction principles of the evaluation system, combined with expert consultation and theoretical analysis methods to select evaluation indicators, and used analytic hierarchy process to obtain the weight of each indicator. An adaptive variational genetic algorithm was then proposed to improve the BP neural network to form the AGA-BP model, which was finally applied to the assessment of the progression potentiality of forest wellness travel. The outcomes demonstrate that among the assessment indicators of forest wellness travel progression potentiality, the environmental quality has the largest weight of 0.4598; the convergence and precision of the AGA-BP model proposed by the research have been upgraded by 80% and 50% respectively, with a faster global search speed; in the assessment of the regional forest wellness travel progression potentiality, the method is highly consistent with the actual assessment outcomes, with an average precision rate of 98% indicating that it can accurately and effectively conduct potentiality assessment, providing a methodological reference for the sustainable progression of forest wellness travel.
A hybrid learning frame work for recognition abnormal events intended from surveillance videos
Authors: Babiyola A. , Aruna S. , Sumithra S. , Buvaneswari B.
Published: April 2023

The need for a monitoring system has grown as a result of rising crime and anomalous activity. To avoid unusual incidents, the common man initiated video surveillance of important areas, which was then passed on to the government. In typical surveillance operations, surveillance devices create a vast volume of data that must be manually analysed. Manually handling huge data sets in real time results in information loss. To prevent abnormal incidents, the actions in sensitive areas can be properly monitored, evaluated, and alerted to the appropriate authorities. Previous deep learning-based activity identification methods have appeared, but the findings are inaccurate, and the proposed Hybrid Machine Learning Algorithms (HMLA) incorporate two detection methods for surveillance videos like as Transfer Learning (TL) and Continual Learning (CL). As a result, the suspicious activity in the video may be missed. Consequently, numerous image processing and computer vision technologies were used in activity detection to decrease human effort and mistakes in surveillance operations. Activities in sensitive areas can be properly monitored and evaluated to avoid unusual incidents, and the appropriate authorities may be alerted. Hence, in order to decrease human error and effort in surveillance operations, activity recognition embraced a variety of image processing and computer vision technologies. In this present work, the capacity has constraints that impact recognition accuracy. Consequently, this research paper presents a HMLA based technique that uses feature extraction using multilayer (Long Short Term Memory) LSTM, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and Temporal feature extraction using multilayer LSTM to improve identification accuracy by 96% while requiring minimal execution time. To show the superior performance of the proposed hybrid machine learning technique, a standard UCF crime dataset was utilised for experimental analysis and compared to existing deep learning algorithms.

Authors: Duray Mehmet , Cetisli-Korkmaz Nilufer , Cavlak Ugur
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Management of respiratory-related functional problems using sensory rehabilitation strategies has been poorly researched in patients with stroke. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate whether whole body vibration (WBV) training has an effect on functional capacity and respiratory functions in patients with stroke. METHODS: In the randomized-controlled study, 28 participants were randomized into two groups: one receiving Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT; n = 13) and one receiving both NDT and WBV (NDT + WBV; n = 15). The primary outcome measures were 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) and Pulmonary Function Test which evaluate functional and respiratory capacity. Secondary outcome included the chest circumference measurement to evaluate the thoracic expansion ability. RESULTS: Both groups showed positive significant changes in walking distance and maximum oxygen consumption volume (VO2max), inspiratory capacity, vital capacity and chest circumference measurement scores (p < 0.05). While the NDT +WBV group showed a significantly greater increase in walking distance and VO2max levels than the NDT group (p < 0.05), there were no significant group differences in respiratory function flow and volume parameters, and chest circumference measurement. CONCLUSION: The addition of WBV training to the treatment program has some incremental benefits on increasing functional capacity and thoracic expansion, and rehabilitating respiratory dysfunction.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: Critical care medicine is a young branch of medicine, of which the development was much faster in High Income Countries (HICs) than in Low Resources Settings (LRS). Slovenia, as one of the successor states of former Yugoslavia, passed the process of transition and joined the European Union successfully. On the contrary, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) went through the extremely difficult process of transition (four years of civil war), which left a deep scar to the healthcare system, including critical care medicine. OBJECTIVE: To examine the impact of HICs on the development of critical care in LRS. METHOD: This review examined the process of growing up the first modern Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) in the Republic of Srpska. RESULTS: The five-year process of transferring critical care knowledge from Slovenia to the health care system of Republic of Srpska has contributed to the existence of modern and state of the art MICU with tremendous social effects. CONCLUSION: The model of using the impact of HICs for improving critical care in LRS can be extrapolated to other similar settings.
Buckling analysis of shallow shells having linear-variable thickness
Authors: Krivenko Olga , Lizunov Petro , Vorona Yurii
Published: April 2023

One way to increase the overall stiffness of a shell structure is to design shells with variable thickness. The effect of thickness change on the stability of flexible shallow panels has been little studied due to the complexity of solving such non-linear problems. Geometrically nonlinear deformation, buckling and postbuckling behavior of thin elastic shells of linearly variable thickness subjected to uniform normal pressure is investigated. The behavior of shallow axisymmetric spherical panels is compared for three laws of thickness distribution along the meridian of the shell. A more rational distribution of the material in the volume of the shell from the point of view of the stability of the structure is revealed. The same mass of material will be used more rationally if the shell is thickened in its central part. The method is based on geometrically nonlinear equations of the three-dimensional thermoelasticity without the use of simplifying hypotheses of the shell theory, and the use of the moment finite-element scheme and the 3D universal finite element. The universal finite element makes it possible to model sections of the shell with both step-variable and smooth-variable thickness, as well as shells with other geometric features. The problem of nonlinear deformation, buckling, and postbuckling behavior of inhomogeneous shells is solved by a combined algorithm that employs the parameter continuation method, a modified Newton–Kantorovich method, and a procedure for automatic correction of algorithm parameters. The results of calculations performed using the moment finite-element scheme are compared with the solutions obtained using the LIRA and SCAD software packages.

BACKGROUND. The optimal use of antiresorptive agents (bisphosphonates; denosumab) in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors is uncertain in several aspects, including the initial drug choice and the planned treatment duration, till the long-term therapy. Drug costs, logistics and facilities, patients’ preferences, renal toxicity, and expected risk of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ), as well as other side effects, may conditionate the oncologists’ choice.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. Italian oncologists from a study group on bone metastatic disease within the “Rete Oncologica Piemonte-Valle d’Aosta” (a cancer network in North-Western Italy) evaluated scientific literature and current guidelines and recommendations, to answer a PICO (Patient/population; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome) question. The question was: in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors, is treatment with antiresorptive drugs (bisphosphonates or denosumab) amenable to personalized use (for choice of drug and duration of treatment) based on the type of disease, the expected risk of side effects, and patient compliance, as an alternative to “one-fit-for-all” therapy (monthly zoledronic acid or denosumab, indefinitely), in order to: reduce the commitment to the patient and to the oncological structure; reduce economic costs; reduce the risk of medium/long-term side effects (e.g., MRONJ)?

RESULTS. The study group analysed the cost of drugs; the engagement of the oncology unit; the patient commitment/compliance; the risk of side effects (renal toxicity, hypocalcaemia, MRONJ); the options of the planned initial duration of treatment; the timing of administration (monthly versus quarterly). Early antiresorptive treatment was recommended (at the diagnosis of bone metastases, after pre-therapy dental evaluation). Four types of tailored treatment options were recommended, in four main different metastatic cancer scenarios.

CONCLUSION. A tailored antiresorptive treatment might reduce the number of accesses to oncological structures by the patient, the costs for the structure and for the healthcare system (both in terms of work and cost of drugs), and the risk of medium/long-term side effects (renal failure; MRONJ), potentially without reducing the expected benefits of the treatment.

Published: April 2023

La ciberviolencia en el noviazgo (ciber-VN) afecta a hombres y mujeres, aunque de manera diferente. Sufrir ciber-VN puede llevar a emplear estrategias de afrontamiento (EA) que incrementen el riesgo de suicidio (RS). Este estudio analiza diferencias de sexo entre jóvenes de Colombia en la frecuencia de victimización de ciber-VN y de uso de EA (rumiación y gratitud) ante los conflictos de pareja, el RS entre víctimas de ciber-VN, y variables predictoras (ciber-VN, EA) del RS. Participaron 482 estudiantes universitarios/as heterosexuales (mujeres: 74,5%) (Medad = 20,67, DT = 2,36; rango:18-26). Los resultados muestran que las mujeres reportan más frecuencia de ciber-VN que los hombres y, dentro de las víctimas, ellas puntúan más alto que los hombres en el uso de rumiación y en RS. Solo en mujeres, una mayor frecuencia de ciber-VN sufrida, un mayor uso de la rumiación y un menor uso de la gratitud predicen un mayor RS. Aunque las intervenciones preventivas de VN son importantes en ambos sexos, este estudio sugiere aplicar programas dirigidos especialmente a mujeres que muestren el impacto que tiene la ciber-VN en el RS, reduzcan el uso de la rumiación y fomenten el uso de la gratitud para amortiguar los efectos de la ciber-VN sufrida en todos los ámbitos de desarrollo de la persona.

Published: April 2023

A alimentação possui um papel importante na vida das pessoas, não apenas por razões fisiológicas, mas também considerando aspectos sociais e psicológicos que envolvem a comida. Em razão da transição epidemiológica global, grande parcela da população convive com uma série de doenças crônicas, entre elas o câncer. Nesse contexto, os cuidados paliativos emergem como uma abordagem que visa à melhoria da qualidade de vida de pacientes e familiares, por meio da prevenção e alívio do sofrimento, da identificação precoce, do tratamento da dor e de outros problemas de natureza física, psicossocial e espiritual. Na doença avançada, frequentemente alterações nas experiências alimentares trazem grande sofrimento, sendo a “dieta de conforto” muito utilizada nessa prática clínica, porém sem um consenso sobre sua definição. Este artigo busca evocar reflexões sobre o que engloba a “dieta de conforto” na área dos cuidados paliativos oncológicos. O conforto pode ser definido como um fenômeno multidimensional, sendo uma experiência fortalecida pela satisfação das necessidades de alívio, tranquilidade e transcendência, atendidas em quatro contextos: físico, psicoespiritual, sociocultural e ambiental. A dieta pode ser capaz de confortar em todos esses aspectos, mediante o alívio de sintomas, resgatando memórias afetivas, fortalecendo o vínculo com familiares e maximizando o potencial de vida diante do adoecimento. A individualização deve ser o guia para a tomada de decisão sobre a dieta, considerando as diversas dimensões do conforto e compreendendo toda a subjetividade que um termo pode assumir.

Метою роботи було виявлення залежності між ґрунтовою структурою та основними характеристиками гумусу найбільш поширених підтипів ґрунтів Бузько- Дніпровського межиріччя в межах природних та агроекосистем. Методи. В процесі виконання роботи використовувались загальнонаукові та спеціальні методи досліджень: порівняльно-географічний, порівняльно-профільно-генетичний (відбір ґрунтових зразків пошарово); порівняльно-аналітичний (фізико-хімічні та агрохімічні дослідження, порівняльно-розрахунковий і статистичний (математична і статистична обробка експериментальних даних). Результати. Досить тривале сільськогосподарське використання ґрунтів в межах Бузько-Дніпровського межиріччя супроводжується деградацією вмісту та якісного складу гумусу та погіршенням їх структурного складу. Структурний склад ґрунтів чорноземного типу в межах Бузько- Дніпровського межиріччя залежить не тільки від вмісту та фракційно-групового складу гумусу, а й від гідрофобно-гідрофільних властивостей ґрунтової органічної речовини. У формуванні ґрунтової структури незамінними є всі показники гумусу: вміст, фракційно-груповий склад, амфіфільні властивості. Однак, провідна ж роль належить співвідношенню гідрофобних та гідрофільних компонентів органічної речовини ґрунтів. Висновки. Комплексний аналіз отриманих закономірностей між структурою ґрунтів, вмістом та властивостями гумусу дозволив використовувати отримані матеріали при виконанні еколого-господарського моніторингу агроекосистем в межах Бузько-Дніпровського межиріччя, а разом з тим, суттєво підвищити точність прогностичних моделей щодо визначення спрямованості та швидкості змін таких фундаментальних властивостей ґрунтів, як структурний стан та склад гумусу чорноземів; він може бути основою для розробки комплексу заходів щодо відновлення екологічних функцій ґрунтів чорноземного типу в умовах багаторічної ріллі, що дуже потрібне у сільському господарстві регіону.

The unemployment rate of a country, especially an undeveloped one, is a social problem that needs dire attention to be resolved. Entrepreneurship education through schooling system or curriculum is one distinguish effort from the state to reduce unemployment rate. Many research have proved that entrepreneurship education positively reduced the unemployment. The process of introducing and cultivating entrepreneur values inside schooling system are expected to reroute the students life orientation from job seeker to become job creator orientation. This study used qualitative descriptive research method in which the data was collected using semi-structured interviews, observations, and active participatory study documents. Using interactive analysis models, three activities were found to cultivate the entrepreneurship values and they were instruction, extracurricular program, and habituation activities. All three played an important role in the formation of students’ characters and positively contribute in cultivating entrepreneurship values. The results of this research positively contribute to policy making well as on teachers’ perspective on inculcating entrepreneurship values.

La deforestación como un aspecto clave en los procesos de acumulación de capital y transformación de la naturaleza, representa un flagelo que viene afectando al planeta y en especial, importantes áreas de la selva amazónica, razón por la cual se pretende exponer algunas alternativas comunitarias para afrontar dicho fenómeno, tomando como caso de estudio el corregimiento El Caraño, localizado en el departamento del Caquetá, Colombia. Para ello, el artículo se apoya en el marco teórico de la Ecología Política. Metodológicamente consta de cuatro fases: en la primera, se construyeron mapas de cambio para las coberturas de bosque considerando datos de cuatro momentos (1990, 2000, 2010 y 2018), a partir del geoprocesamiento de información secundaria; en la segunda, se realizó un análisis escalar (internacional, nacional y local) de las políticas de desarrollo económico que han fomentado procesos de deforestación y conservación en el área de estudio; en la tercera fase, se diseñó y aplicó entrevistas semiestructuradas a agentes sociales claves para conocer aquellas experiencias colectivas comunitarias empleadas en los procesos de deforestación y, en la cuarta fase, se llevó a cabo el proceso de triangulación de la información. En ese sentido, se concluyen dos ideas clave: en la primera, se deja claro el papel ambivalente del Estado colombiano como agente, de un lado, promotor de procesos de deforestación y, de otro lado, conservador de la selva amazónica. La segunda idea, resalta como estrategias locales los siguientes elementos a) la necesidad de fortalecer procesos comunitarios de formación ambiental en contextos de turismo de naturaleza, b) asumir los procesos de renaturalización de la selva amazónica como sistemas orgánicos y, c) adoptar a nivel comunitario el turismo de naturaleza como estrategia frente a la deforestación.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, computer vision syndrome (CVS) caused by the implementation of online learning was an inevitable effect. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of using the Eye Care and Eye Pro Protect Your Vision applications as a step to treat and prevent the severity of CVS. A total of 16 students who participated in virtual classroom learning (81.20% female, 87.50% laptop users with heavy duration, 93.70% experienced CVS) were included. The most frequent symptom in CVS subjects was eye pain (96.5%), while the most intense symptom was a feeling of double vision (15.9%). The use of applications can significantly reduced the duration of laptop use (p=0.025) using the Mc Nemar test. The Eye Care application reduced symptoms by 75%, while the Eye Pro was 62.5%. The Eye Care application can provide a decrease in the duration of screen time and provide rest time for better eyes. Recommendations for preventing CVS based on causal factors can be adjusted to reduce the burden of online study, increase rest time and use screen time reminder applications.

Lithium-oxygen batteries are among the most promising electrochemical energy storage systems, which have attracted significant attention in the past few years duo to its far more energy density than lithium-ion batteries. Lithium oxygen battery energy storage is a reactive storage mechanism, and the discharge and charge processes are usually called oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Consequently, complex systems usually create complex problems, lithium oxygen batteries also face many problems, such as excessive accumulation of discharge products (Li2O2) in the cathode pores, resulting in reduced capacity, unstable cycling performance and so on. Cathode catalyst, which could influence the kinetics of OER and ORR in lithium oxygen (Li-O2) battery, is one of the decisive factors to determine the electrochemical performance of the battery, so the design of cathode catalyst is vitally important. This review discusses the catalytic cathode materials, which are divided into four parts, carbon based materials, metals and metal oxides, composite materials and other materials.

Published: April 2023

Introducción.  Una de las causas que ha cobrado fuerza en la actualidad debido a los efectos que genera en la calidad de vida de las personas, es la contaminación acústica; misma que está presente en todas las actividades cotidianas, como son: estudio, trabajo, hogar, teatros, restaurantes, calles, parques, entre otros. El sentido de la audición al igual que el de la vista, representa una conexión fundamental para estar informado de los acontecimientos del entorno, ya que está en alerta permanente inclusive cuando dormimos. El confort acústico es una sensación subjetiva de bienestar, propia de cada persona y depende de diversos factores como, por ejemplo: la actividad que se realiza en un determinado momento, así como el ambiente sonoro existente en el lugar. Por otra parte, la sensación de incomodidad acústica se produce cuando un ambiente sonoro no es el adecuado para la actividad de los ocupantes, esto a más de generar un malestar orgánico, puede producir un malestar intelectual y como consecuencia, una alteración emocional. Objetivo.  El presente estudio se centra en el impacto de la aplicación de envolventes dinámicas en el edificio de la Unidad Académica de Ingeniería, Industria y Construcción de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca. Metodología.  Con la metodología utilizada, se pretende innovar el diseño arquitectónico, mediante el análisis, simulación y empleo de materiales amigables con el medio ambiente, a través del desarrollo de envolventes dinámicas tridimensionales que se fusionen con la fachada y en conjunto, mejoren las condiciones de confort acústico en el interior de las edificaciones. Resultados. Obtener un prototipo digital de envolvente dinámica en fachadas con el fin de reducir el ruido ambiental generado por el tráfico vehicular de la Avenida de las Américas. Conclusión. Los prototipos de envolventes dinámicas constituyen un aporte para las edificaciones educativas, reduciendo el ruido del tráfico en un 28% con paneles de material reciclado que podemos encontrar en nuestra ciudad. Área de la ciencia: arquitectura.
