Empresas estatais: algumas considerações sobre o seu papel no desenvolvimento econômico brasileiro
Authors: Cordeiro Glauber De Lucena , Figueiredo Paulo Henrique Silva
Published: January 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo uma análise histórica do papel desempenhado pelo Estado brasileiro, por meio da atuação de suas empresas, no processo de desenvolvimento econômico nacional. A partir da análise de seis períodos históricos, observa-se qual foi o grau de intervenção praticado por tais entidades na economia, a coerência de tal atuação com o arcabouço constitucional vigente, as motivações ideológicas e pragmáticas que a embasaram e os resultados práticos obtidos. Pretende-se narrar a criação e atuação das empresas estatais no século XX, onde é possível verificar que o seu desenvolvimento se deu de modo descontrolado, muito em face da posição ideológica dos governantes do período, que conduziram à excessos e usos inapropriados de sua atuação em determinados momentos históricos e/ou em setores econômicos específicos. Mas também, não se pode negar que tais entes foram imprescindíveis para garantir a realização de atividades essenciais ao Estado, ante a falta de interesse econômico ou ausência de recursos suficientes por parte da iniciativa privada. Deste modo, procura-se discorrer sobre a existência das estatais para cumprir os papéis que lhe são reservados na ordem econômica constitucional e sobre as perspectivas que as estatais possuem no cenário administrativo atual no país.

Transição política e legado autoritário: algumas reflexões acerca da violência policial no Brasil pós-redemocratização
Authors: Albuquerque Armando
Published: January 2021

O novo rótulo democrático do estatuto político nacional não foi suficiente para afastar a permanência de práticas arbitrárias, contrárias ao sistema de proteção aos direitos do homem. As razões que justificam a continuidade desse quadro repousam em bases institucionais, reunidas num conjunto de condutas e preceitos que configuram o legado autoritário, tendo seu mais notável reflexo revelado no uso letal das polícias. Embora caracterizadas como forças estatais preordenadas à garantia da segurança pública, sofrem os influxos de valores bélicos e sua atuação acaba por prejudicar a consolidação de um regime democrático e de um Estado de Direito efetivo, com todos os seus corolários.

Zinc fractionation in cow, goat, sheep and soybean milk samples using gel-electrophoresis and determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS)
Authors: Bossu Carla Maíra , Giglioti Rodrigo , Oliveira Marcia Cristina de Sena , De Oliveira Pedro Vitoriano , Nogueira Ana Rita de Araujo
Published: January 2021

A screening method for zinc levels in different milk samples (raw cow, raw sheep, UHT cow, UHT goat and soybean milk base) was performed to establish the Zn levels’ differences in protein samples. The samples were digested in a cavity microwave oven and the total Zn levels in the extracts were determined by flame absorption atomic spectrometry (FAAS). The protein separation was performed by urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (UREA-PAGE). Protein bands were digested in the cavity microwave oven and Zn-protein analysis was further conducted by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The results showed that Zn is mainly bound to 32 kDa (β-casein) protein (17.0 ± 2.0%) in UHT cow and 24 kDa (α-casein) protein (9.0 ± 0.6%) in raw sheep milk. This method provided quantitative information regarding Zn species present in the protein fractions of the milk samples. The accuracy was evaluated using certified reference material (whole milk powder, NIST 8435) with statistically equivalent concentrations (Student’s t-test) for total Zn and by addition and recovery experiments applied to measure Zn-protein. The recovered values were in the 92-110% range.

Authors: Cais Thayná Aparecida , Procópio Alley Michael da Silva , Kondo Márcia Matiko , Silva Flávio Soares , De Andrade Sandro José
Published: January 2021

In this study, an analytical methodology was validated to determine and quantify four estrogen hormones using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with detections by diode array detector (DAD) and by fluorescence detector (FLD). For validation of the method, the following parameters were evaluated: linearity, selectivity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and robustness. Environmental samples were preconcentrated using solid phase extractions and for that, an experimental design was planned to determine the best recovery conditions by varying cartridge types, flow of eluent, pH of the samples, and eluting solvent. Five surface water sampling campaigns were carried out in five different sites of Furnas Reservoir over the months of December 2015 and May 2016. Sample point 1 was located near the sewage treatment plant of the city of Alfenas - MG, while sample point 5 was the most distant from this location. All estrogens, except for E1, were found in all water samples of at least one of the sampling sites. The concentrations of E3, E2 and EE2 ranged from 11-366, 63-422 and 75-9998 ng L-1, respectively. These results are consistent with several studies published in the scientific literature.

Published: January 2021

Recommendations are presented for solving issues that arise in the design and operation of tubular transport crossings of corrugated metal structures through spawning streams while ensuring the safety and natural reproduction of fish stocks. There are discussed the results of experimental studies of culverts made of metal corrugated pipes with a normal and spiral shape of corrugation the bottom of which is buried and filled with suitable granular material to the level of the natural channel of a small watercourse. It is established that when 10% of the area of the corrugated pipe is occupied by stone filling, its throughput is reduced by about 10-12%. Based on the review of the existing literature and the results of laboratory experiments, data is provided to estimate the values of the roughness coefficients of the composite cross-section of a single-point junction and directions for future research on culvert reclamation are outlined. Studying of the structure of the velocity distribution in culverts can lead to the improved conditions for fish passage without installing special structural elements in the transit path of the fish passage structure.
“DISTANCE AND DISADVANTAGES OF TRAM TRAFFIC HAVE MADE ACCESS TO RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS DIFFICULT”: DWELLERS OF KYIV-PECHERSK MONASTERY IN 1920s — EARLY 1930s
Authors: Yanenko Anna
Published: January 2021

The article deals with the (re)construction of tenant structure of the nationalized living quarters on Kyiv-Pechersk monastery area during 1920s — early 1930s, primarily persons associated with museums and/or the AllUkrainian Academy of Sciences. Their living conditions are outlined. The dependence of the local contingent both from the change of indirect owners of the buildings, (re)subordination of the territory, the formation, restructuring, liquidation of institutions, and from the processes of urbanization, which objectively caused the housing crisis in the USSR is elucidated. Well-known intellectuals of the interwar period lived in the former monastery buildings — archaeologists Petro Kurinnyi and Mykhailo Rudynskyi, an art critic Kost Moshchenko, a restorer Mykola Kasperovych, a cooperation connoisseur Ivan Oleksiiev, etc. The living conditions of Kyiv-Pechersk Preserve dwellers, including white-collar workers, were not ideal during 1920s and early 1930s. The distance of the apartments from the city center made access to research institutions (academic departments, book and museum collections) difficult. Almost everyone faced commonplace problems and trials: adaptation of monastery spaces, current repairs, furnishing of houses, humidity and low temperatures during the autumn-winter period, lack of heating, water supply, drainage, electricity, and other utilities, etc. Besides, Pechersk, the city suburb, was quite dangerous, the local population was often robbed. Families with children faced additional difficulties — providing access to educational institutions. The main part of Kyiv-Pechersk Preserve tenants–intellectuals were newcomers from other cities and towns. Therefore, museum workers and academics changed their apartments quite easily, not only within the so-called Citadel, 9 (Kyiv-Pechersk Preserve) in Kyiv but also within the country.
THE PYLIAN BASILEIS ACCORDING TO THE TEXT OF THE JN SERIES
Authors: Pereshch Volodymyr
Published: January 2021

The activities of the basileis, who appear in Homer’s poems as tribal leaders, are associated with the organizing of handicraft production in the texts of linear B. Since the position of basileus, which appears before us for the first time in the Pylian and Knossos texts, continues to exist in the polis period, the study of the functions of the Achaean basileis will not only expand and deepen our knowledge of this position in the Mycenaean kingdoms of the second millennium, but will also allow us to reveal the transformational processes that this office underwent after the collapse of the palatial states of Greece and during the emergence of classical polis civilization. This article examines the Pylian texts of the Jn series, which record the basileis’ fulfillment of the function of managing (overseeing) the work of the smiths. The work is based on the so called combinatorial method, which provides in-depth study of the internal structure of texts as a fundamental stage of penetration into their content. Applying this method, the author recognizes four distinct sections in the document Jn 431: apekean smiths who have tarasija; apekean smiths, who do not have tarasija; apekean smiths of Potnia, who have tarasija; apekean smiths of Potnia, who do not have tarasija. This division allows us to conclude that the basileus Apiqota only supervises the work of the apekean smiths who have tarasija, and is not associated with the apekean smiths who do not have tarasija. Analasing the role played by the basileis in the Jn series in general and the functions that the basileus Apiqota performs in the text of Jn 431 in particular, and also based on the fact that the basis of basileis’ activity was concentrated in the qasirewija headed by them, the author concludes that the basileis were not in any way substantially or organically connected with the smiths, and the function of controlling their work was imposed on the basileis by the palace in certain individual cases (Jn 431, 691, 845) and played a secondary role in their activities.
Feminist Cyber-resistance to Digital Violence: Surviving Gamergate
Authors: Hanash Martínez Macarena
Published: January 2021

Women in cyberspace do not escape patriarchal violence and are subject to strict social control exercised through technological means. Cyber-violence especially affects women with an explicitly feminist presence in virtual spaces. Their participation in and advocacy of feminist values are considered a transgression of the patriarchal mandate, which seeks to exclude women from public spaces or, failing that, to marginalise them. That is why they are the targets of grave intimidation, harassment and threats. At the same time, digital networks have spawned a plethora of spaces for women’s collective, political and social action. Thus, online activity has played a key role in the resurgence and revitalisation of feminist communities and debates. This paper analyses the projects launched by Zoë Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian, two of the main targets of the Gamergate movement. We will study: (1) Crash Override and Speak Up & Stay Safe(r), a helpline and a resource platform for cyber-violence victims, respectively; (2) feminist cyber-resistance projects, within the framework of cyber-feminism and the current paradigm shift in the culture of protest and feminist organisation.

Published: January 2021

Актуальність. Біг є одним із найпопулярніших занять у світі. Заняття цим видом спорту – важливий засіб фізичного виховання, а тому займають одне з перших місць за своїм характером рухових дій. Біг на короткі дистанції – найдавніший вид легкоатлетичних вправ, що входить у сучасну легку атлетику. Він характеризується максимальною інтенсивністю пробігання всієї дистанції в анаеробному режимі. Фізична підготовка бігуна на короткі дистанції поділяється на загальну й спеціальну. Спеціальна фізична підготовка спортсменок-спринтерок, які навчаються в закладах вищої освіти – процес багаторічний та багатогранний. Він уключає фізичну, тактичну, технічну й психологічну підготовку. Зростання спортивних результатів можливе лише за умови гармонійного співвідношення всіх сторін підготовленості. Методика інтенсифікації спеціальної підготовки спринтерів буде ефективною та педагогічно доцільною в тому випадку, якщо вона ґрунтується на достовірних знаннях про структурні компоненти підготовленості спортсменів з урахуванням індивідуальних показників реалізації рухових можливостей. Мета роботи – обґрунтування впливу тренувальних навантажень на спеціальну фізичну підготовку студенток, які спеціалізуються з бігу на 100 і 200 метрів. Завдання дослідження – вивчення та аналіз досліджува- ної проблеми у вітчизняних і зарубіжних джерелах; визначення впливу тренувальних навантажень на спеціальну фізичну підготовку студенток на заняттях із підвищення спортивної майстерності. Методи – аналіз і синтез наукових літературних джерел, бесіди, педагогічне спостереження, педагогічний експеримент, методи математик- ної статистики. Результати. Успішність підготовки спортсменок-спринтерок залежить від ефективності методів, організації та управління тренувальним процесом. Використання в тренувальному процесі значної кількості спеціальних засобів фізичної й функціональної підготовки ефективно вплинуло на фізичну підготовленість студенток основної групи. Зокрема, установлено вірогідний приріст результатів із бігу на 100 і 200 метрів, що свідчить про розвиток анаеробних можливостей у дівчат, які спеціалізуються з бігу на короткі дистанції. За показниками бігу на 30 м із ходу, 100, 200 метрів та човникового бігу також виявлено приріст результатів у студенток основної групи. Простежено незначний приріст швидкісних, координаційних й анаеробно-аеробних можливостей студенток контрольної групи. Такі зрушення зумовлені використанням більших обсягів анаеробних режимів тренування. Висновки. У навчально-тренувальному процесі студенток потрібно застосовувати значну кількість загальних і спеціальних засобів для формування фізичної й функціональної підготовленості. Зокрема, у підготовці студенток із бігу на короткі дистанції доцільно збільшити обсяг тренувань в анаеробному та анаеробно- аеробному режимах, що сприятиме розвитку швидкості, швидкісної витривалості й покращить функціональні можливості.

Published: January 2021

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a cell or a group of cells displays uncontrolled growth, invasion and sometimes metastasis. These three malignant properties of cancer differentiate them from being tumors, which are self-limited and do not invade or metastate. Most cancers form a tumor but some like leukemia do not. The branch of medicine concerned with study diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer is oenology.  Cancer can affect people of all ages with the risk of most types increasing with age cancers are primarily an environmental disease due to lifestyle and environmental factors and due to genetics. The present study consisted of 300 caregivers of persons with cancer was selected based on simple random sampling, and with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Those patients satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria and attending both outpatient and inpatient services of cancer specialty hospital in KIDWAI Bangalore, Karnataka were selected randomly. The data was collected from the patients & caregivers of persons living with cancer who fulfill the inclusion/exclusion criteria were taken up for the study after their consent. The Coping Check List (Rao et al, 1989) was administered to understand the coping pattern. The interviews and the instruments were administered by research experts. This study concluded that there was poor coping were found in female caregivers, illiterate caregivers, caregivers of cancer patients underwent surgery, the person’s not hearing about cancer, and other religion caregivers. So, it is imperative to design suitable intervention strategies to enhance the coping and other psychosocial issues of caregivers of patients living with cancer.

Bu çalışma, Türk Hıristiyan kimlikli azınlıkların ‘yerli’ ve ‘yabancı’ olma halini eşzamanlı deneyimledikleri bir öz-temsil pratiğini anlama çabasının ürünüdür. Hıristiyan kimliğine ilişkin tarihsel ve modern hafızayı kuran meta-anlatılar,
ister Oryantalist isterlerse de Oksidentalist olsunlar, Türk Hıristiyanlar hakkında hep bir yanlışlık söz konusudur. Çünkü Türk Hıristiyanlar, Anadolu’daki paniği besleyen Batı geleneğinin bir parçası değildirler. Aynı zamanda
Türk olmalarına rağmen Batıdaki paniği besleyen Türk-İslam kültürünün de tam anlamıyla bir parçası değildirler. Bu nedenle Türk Hıristiyanları anlamak için, kendileri hakkında konuştukları bir öz-temsil alanını incelemek en gerçekçi

Ivabradine versus carvedilol in the management of palpitation with sinus tachycardia among recovered COVID-19 patients
Authors: Kartik Pandurang Jadhav , Pankaj V Jariwala
Published: January 2021

Introduction: One of the major complications among COVID-19 patients include cardiac arrhythmias. Commonest arrhythmia is sinus tachycardia which is usually associated with palpitation causing discomfort to patients. In this study, we present a comparative study of use of Ivabradine vs. Carvedilol for sinus tachycardia in post-COVID-19 infected patients. Method: 50 consecutive recovered COVID-19 patients with sinus tachycardia were included in this open labelled RCT. 25 patients received Ivabradine and remaining 25 received Carvedilol. Single therapy non-responders were treated with Ivabradine with Atorvastatin. Results: The mean age of all patients is 48.8±7.66 years (Males 49.5 ± 7.21 years; Females 47.68 ± 8.23 years). The mean heart rate (MHR) of all patients is 125.52 ± 9.07/min (Males 125.67 ± 8.78/min; Females 125.26 ± 9.5/min). After five days of single drug therapy the mean drop in the heart rate was 35.04 ± 10.55/min (Males 34.41 ± 9.71/min; Females 36.05 ± 11.72/min), resulting in 27.88 ± 8.11% (Males 27.38 ± 7.56%; Females 28.69 ± 8.89%) reduction in MHR. Among the two groups, the Carvedilol group showed improvement of MHR in 14(56%) patients; whereas in Ivabradine group 18(72%) patients improved out of 25 patients each (p: 0.2385). In the Carvedilol group the MHR reduced from 128.6 ± 8.44 to 95.68 ± 10.63 (p < 0.001), which is statistically significant; similarly, the Ivabradine group showed a MHR from 122.44 ± 8.62 to 85.28 ± 10.52 (p < 0.001). The monotherapy therapy non-responders were treated with dual-therapy of (Ivabradine + Atorvastatin). Discussion: Ivabradine is more effective in controlling heart rate compared to Carvedilol. Also, Ivabradine group scores very well in ‘patient-satisfaction’ with regards to symptom (palpitation) relief. Conclusion: The COVID-19 sequelae of sinus tachycardia can be better controlled with Ivabradine when compared to Carvedilol.
Antiviral and Antinematodal potentials of chitosan: Review
Authors: Mahmoud Hamdy Abd El-Aziz , Mohamed Salah Khalil
Published: January 2021

For many years, chemical pesticides have been performed to control different pests and diseases and this may be due to their broad spectrum of action, easy of application and the relatively low cost. But these chemicals have environmental risks, thus alternative control agents are needed. Chitosan is one of the novel suggested solutions to reduce the economic losses associated with chemical pesticides. Chitosan is naturally-occurring compound, as well as safe and biodegradable which obtained from certain natural sources. Chitosan have unique properties which help to control viruses, bacteria, fungi, insects, plant nematodes and other pests locally and systemically.
Evaluation of Two Management Strategies for Harvested Emergent Vegetation on Immature Mosquito Abundance and Water Quality
Authors: Walton William E. , Mai Kevin , Nguyen Andrew , Tse Rex
Published: January 2021

Emergent macrophytes play critical roles in water treatment processes of free-water surface constructed treatment wetlands. Management strategies for plant biomass affect wetland function and mosquito populations. Sinking of harvested macrophyte biomass is thought to provide organic carbon that enhances denitrifying bacteria important for nutrient removal while concomitantly reducing harborage for mosquitoes. The effects of sinking versus floating dried plant biomass (California bulrush [Schoenoplectus californicus]) on immature mosquito abundance and water quality (nutrient levels, oxygen demand, and physicochemical variables) were examined in mesocosms (28-m2 ponds or 1.4-m2 wading pools) under different flow regimes in 4 studies. The numbers of mosquito larvae in earthen ponds with floating vegetation were greater than in ponds with sunken vegetation on most dates but did not differ significantly between the 2 vegetation treatments in experiments using wading pools. Differences of the abundance of Anopheles larvae between the 2 vegetation management treatments were larger than for Culex larvae when naturally occurring larval mosquito predators were present. At high turnover rates (>2 pond volumes/day), water quality did not differ significantly between the vegetation management treatments and the water supply. At low turnover rates (approximately 2–6% of water volume/day), water quality differed significantly between the 2 vegetation management treatments and the water supply. Sinking vegetation can enhance the effectiveness of mosquito control but, depending on water management practices, may raise the concentrations of water quality constituents in discharges that are regulated under the Clean Water Act.

Published: January 2021

During April–October 2019, the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (Ontario, CA) deployed large numbers of In2Care® mosquito traps in a preliminary study to evaluate the trap's potential effectiveness at controlling invasive Aedes aegypti (L.) and Ae. albopictus (Skuse) in 6 cities of San Bernardino County, CA. The trap was used to attract ovipositing females, expose them to the juvenile hormone mimic pyriproxyfen and the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, and autodisseminate pyriproxyfen to other water sources prior to their death from fungal infection. The trap attracted Ae. aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus, with the latter species predominating at much higher larval densities in the trap reservoirs. Field-collected larvae and pupae from the trap reservoirs showed complete adult emergence inhibition. Furthermore, the trap reservoirs retained high levels of residual larvicidal, pupicidal, and emergence inhibition activity after they were retrieved from the field, as indicated by laboratory bioassays against laboratory colony of Cx. quinquefasciatus. Results of this study support more detailed quantitative local evaluations on trap efficacy to measure the impact of the In2Care mosquito trap on wild invasive Aedes and Culex populations in future mosquito control efforts.

Published: January 2021

We investigated the capability of transfluthrin on US military camouflage netting to reduce collections of tabanid biting flies in a warm-temperate field environment on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We found that transfluthrin significantly reduced collections of a variety of medically and veterinarily important tabanids inside protected areas by up to 96% upon initial treatment and up to 74% after 20 days posttreatment. These results suggest that transfluthrin could be an effective element in the US Department of Defense integrated pest management system and leveraged in civilian scenarios to protect livestock and humans from potential mechanical transmission of pathogens and disruption of activities caused by painful bites.

(Cremastra appendiculata) of treating lumbago and arthritis not only is a vital medicinal material plant, but also it is a widely distributed wide plant species. This plant species is widely distributed elevation from 500m to 3100m in Mei County of China. However, understanding dynamics of Important Value of this species is very difficult along elevation. This research explained that links between Important Value of this species and elevation is the significant positive correlation from 500m to 1500m (P<0.01) as well as the links between Important Value of this species and elevation are the significant negative correlation from 1500m to 3100m (P<0.01). This study provides six natural landscape types and a series of areas ecological adaptation for finding new medical species along different elevation. Thus, this research has vital theoretical and practical significance for medicinal plant protection at spatial-temporal-environmental-disturbance scales (STEDS).

Introduction: There are no studies on the use of dexketoprofen for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Purpose: To assess if the timing of dexketoprofen administration influences the intensity of postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods used: Experimental, longitudinal, double-blind, randomized study. 50 mg of dexketoprofen diluted in 50 ml of 0.9% saline was administered to 50 patients divided into two groups: Pre-operative group: the substance was administered one hour before the beginning of surgery. Trans-operative group: the substance was administered at the moment when the gallbladder was separated from the liver base. The Numerical Pain Scale was evaluated and the number of doses and the total dose of tramadol that the patients received as analgesic rescue was quantified. Results: Administration of dexketoprofen before starting laparoscopic cholecystectomy tends to reduce the intensity of postoperative pain without being statistically significant. Conclusion: The timing of dexketoprofen administration has no impact on postoperative pain in patients operated for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The present generation Armoured Tracked Vehicles (ATVs) are constructed using Rolled homogenized armour (RHA) grade steels closely confirming with AISI 4340 specifications. However, in future Armoured Tracked Vehicles (ATVs), the overall weight of ATVs has to be reduced enormously and hence, the designers have prescribed to employ Ultra High Hard Armour (UHA) steels for the construction. Welding is considered to be one of the important fabrication methods in ATVs construction. However, welding of UHA steels is highly challenging due to higher hardness and higher carbon content. Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is among the most widely employed welding process in the construction of ATVs since it is more versatile and cost-effective. Armour grade steels are welded conventionally using Austenitic Stainless Steel (ASS) consumables to eliminate the serious problems of hydrogen induced cracking. Hence, in this investigation, an attempt has been made to study the influence of ASS welding consumables on tensile properties and hardness of UHA steel joints made by SMAW process. UHA steel plates having 15 mm thickness were welded by SMAW process using five different ASS consumables (having different Creq/Nieq ratio). Tensile properties (unnotched and notched) of the welded joints were evaluated. From this investigation, it was observed that the joint welded using ASS consumable (having higher Creq/Nieq ratio) exhibited superior tensile properties as result of the evolution of ferrite phase with vermicular and globular morphology in the austenite matrix at weld metal region.

According to the National Energy Balance report released by the Energy Commission of Malaysia in 2016, the residential sector uses 21.6% of the total energy in Malaysia. Residents waste energy through inefficient energy consumption and a lack of awareness. Building occupants are considered the main factor that influences energy consumption in buildings, and to change energy consumption on an overall scale, it is crucial to change individual behaviour. Therefore, this study focused on analysing the energy consumption pattern and the behaviour of consumers towards energy consumption in their homes in the residential area of Batu Pahat, Johor. A self-administrated questionnaire approach was employed in this study. The findings of this study showed that the excessive use of air conditioners was a significant factor in the increasing electricity bills of homeowners as well as the inefficient use of electrical appliances. Also, this study determined the effect of awareness on consumer behaviour. This study recommends ways to help minimise energy consumption in the residential area.
