Representações do turismo em Lavras Novas
Authors: Dutra Carina Amorim , Laschefski Klemens Augustinus
Published: December 2022

O novo espaço rural brasileiro vem sendo marcado pelas atividades econômicas não agrícolas como forma de geração de renda. Entre elas, ganha ênfase o turismo rural, cuja exploração desordenada causa ao campo impactos ambientais, sociais e culturais diversos. Este trabalho se desenvolve em Lavras Novas, Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, em um trecho da Estrada Real – rota oficial por onde a coroa portuguesa escoava o ouro até o litoral brasileiro, para ser enviado à metrópole –, atualmente uma política pública integrante do Plano Nacional de Turismo. O destaque assumido pelo trajeto atrai grupos urbanos para a exploração do turismo ou interessados na paisagem bucólica dos vilarejos, como possibilidade de vida oposta à vivida nos centros urbanos. Mesclada a esse grupo está a população nativa, com interesses diferentes quanto à atividade e em busca de autonomia frente aos grupos urbanos. Os problemas ambientais gerados pela atividade perpassam a contaminação dos cursos hídricos, lixo nas vias públicas, poluição visual e sonora, etc. Objetivou-se analisar as representações sociais em torno da exploração da atividade turística e o seu poder de geração de conflitos ambientais entre os grupos que dela vivem.
Reflexões metodológicas sobre a relação rural-urbano a partir da teoria e de evidências socioespaciais da RMBH
Authors: Costa Geraldo Magela , Santos Reinaldo Onofre dos , Costa Heloisa Soares de Moura
Published: December 2022

O artigo discute a pertinência das análises sobre a diferenciação entre rural e urbano no atual momento do movimento do capital no tempo e no espaço. Parte do questionamento de Harvey, em The urban experience, sobre a adequação da dicotomia rural-urbana para expressar uma forma básica de contradição do modo de produção capitalista. Tal dicotomia seria apenas uma expressão particular de divisão social do trabalho. O artigo resgata argumentos teórico-metodológicos que deram suporte a tais análises, bem como outros surgidos das análises populacionais. Sugere-se que eventuais polêmicas em torno do entendimento da relação rural-urbano mais prejudicam do que ajudam na análise de situações concretas, particularmente naquelas acerca do planejamento territorial urbano/metropolitano, em que a complexidade do espaço socialmente produzido requer o entendimento da totalidade antes de recortes espaciais específicos. Evidências empíricas vêm de dados censitários sobre ocupação da população em áreas periurbanas da RMBH, nas quais a diferenciação formal rural-urbana apresenta-se difusa. Argumenta-se que questões relativas à ocupação e à divisão do trabalho podem ser mais relevantes do que a simples separação entre rural e urbano.
Viver de forma sustentável ou contribuir para a sustentabilidade do capital? As contradições que permeiam a práxis das ecovilas em tempos neoliberais
Authors: Silva Luis Fernando de Matheus e
Published: December 2022

O presente artigo busca analisar criticamente alguns dos aspectos que permeiam a práxis do movimento de ecovilas, centrando a discussão nas contradições surgidas quando da inflexão destas experiências – ditas “alternativas” – à lógica que rege a acumulação de capital. Sustenta-se aqui que as ecovilas representam a etapa mais recente de um fenômeno denominado “contraculturas espaciais”, cujas origens podem ser rastreadas na segunda metade do século XIX e que, a partir da década de 1990 – com o aprofundamento dos confltos engendrados pela globalização do capitalismo em sua etapa neoliberal –, parece novamente recobrar forças. Trata-se, em verdade, de uma breve sistematização de algumas das indagações surgidas durante a realização da tese de doutorado intitulada Ilusão concreta, Utopia possível: Contraculturas Espaciais e Permacultura (uma mirada desde o cone sul), defendida em julho de 2013, no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia Humana da Faculdade de Filosofi, Letras e Ciências Humanas da Universidade de São Paulo – FFLCH-USP.
Migration and spatial dispersion of the population in the Belo Horizonte region of influence
Authors: Nogueira Marly , Lobo Carlos , Garcia Ricardo Alexandrino , Comini Lídia
Published: December 2022

As evidências históricas não deixam dúvidas sobre a relevância dos deslocamentos espaciais da população na organização do território nacional. Em vários momentos no tempo essa força de trabalho móvel serviu como fonte catalisadora de profundas transformações econômicas e sociais nas regiões de origem e destino e não apenas como mão de obra disponível para as atividades econômicas. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo a avaliação da magnitude e das principais características da mobilidade e dispersão espacial da população na Região de Inflência de Belo Horizonte (REGIC BH), tendo como base os flxos migratórios intermunicipais identifiados no Censo Demográfio de 2010, utilizando da variável de Data Fixa. Os resultados indicam a tendência geral de perda relativa do peso demográfio da capital mineira, bem como uma signifiativa concentração espacial da emigração de Belo Horizonte com destino aos municípios mais próximos, sobretudo aqueles que integram sua periferia metropolitana. Por outro lado, a imigração é notadamente dispersa espacialmente. Belo Horizonte recebe migrantes de grande parte dos municípios de sua Região de Influência, com especial destaque aos centros regionais.
Indicadores para balneabilidade em águas doces no Brasil
Authors: Lopes Frederico Azevedo , Von Sperling Eduardo , Pereira Magalhaes Jr Antônio
Published: December 2022

Apesar de sua reconhecida importância para a sociedade e o contínuo aumento na demanda, o uso recreacional das águas doces no Brasil carece de estudos e programas específicos de monitoramento em grande parte do país. Além disso, a atual metodologia, estabelecida pela Resolução CONAMA 274/2000, está restrita a limitados indicadores. Neste contexto, este trabalho buscou levantar quais parâmetros de qualidade de água, ou outros fatores, que poderiam ser utilizados para aprimorar os atuais processos de avaliação de balneabilidade em águas doces no Brasil, através do desenvolvimento de um painel de especialistas. Os resultados do painel demonstram que a atual metodologia vigente pode ser aperfeiçoada através da inserção de novos parâmetros e critérios, considerando a crescente diversificação das fontes de contaminação de corpos d ́água e garantindo, desta forma, maior segurança aos usuários.

Sabores do Sertão ao Litoral
Authors: Menezes Sônia de Souza Mendonça
Published: December 2022

A proposta do artigo é refletir sobre os sabores tradicionais elaborados por grupos familiares residentes nos espaços rural e urbano do sertão ao litoral sergipano valorizados e consumidos nesses territórios. Tomamos como recorte espacial o Estado de Sergipe a partir dos dados das pesquisas realizadas nas diferentes regiões. Temos como objetivo compreender como os sabores tradicionais são transformados em territorialidade que alicerça na contemporaneidade a reprodução social e econômica de grupos familiares. Os consumidores nos centros urbanos demandam esses sabores e ao consumi-los reforçam a sua identidade cultural. Estudar a permanência da produção dessas comidas tradicionais e a expansão da demanda significa descortinar o sentido do consumo para homens e mulheres e interpretar o valor cultural, social e econômico a eles agregado. Com este artigo, pretendemos contribuir para a ampliação do conhecimento da produção e consumo dos sabores tradicionais e a relação da transmissão dos saberes e fazeres transformados em estratégia de reprodução por grupos familiares.

Published: December 2022

As Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP) são porções territoriais protegidas por Lei federal (Lei 12.651/2012) que apresentam funções ambientais fundamentais para a conservação dos recursos hídricos e para a proteção do solo.O objetivo do presente estudo foi caracterizar e diagnosticar os conflitos de uso e de ocupação do solo nas APP de curso d’água na bacia do córrego Marinheiro, Sete Lagoas - MG, comparando resultados obtidos pelo cálculo de NDVI em imagens dos satélites Landsat 8 e Ikonos-II. O método foi desenvolvido em seis etapas principais, quais sejam: i) Préprocessamento das imagens; ii) Cálculo de NDVI; iii) Obtenção da rede de drenagem; iv) Cálculo das Classes de NDVI das Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP); e v) Caracterização e análise das APP; e vi) Validação em campo. Os resultados obtidos permitiram identificar a presença de cinco classes de NDVI. Foi possível concluir que: (1) nas APP de curso d’água a vegetação senescente foi a classe de maior predomínio, de acordo com os cálculos realizados com as cenas do Landsat 8 (51,6%), nas cenas do satélite Ikonos-II o predomínio foi da classe Pastagens (51,2%); (2) pela classificação do NDVI das imagens Ikonos-II, observou-se uma boa precisão e melhores resultados, comparando-se com o satélite Landsat 8, principalmente devido à resolução espacial das imagens multiespectrais ser de 4 metros.

Published: December 2022

O presente artigo objetiva apresentar a simulação de cenários de expansão urbana para o município de Mateus Leme, pertencente à Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. A simulação apresenta-se como um complemento importante à metodologia utilizada pela equipe técnica do município, que realizou em 2014 um abrangente estudo para o mapeamento e análise de áreas potenciais para expansão urbana, com vistas a aprovação do Projeto Específico de Expansão Urbana de Mateus Leme. Tal estudo baseou-se na álgebra de mapas sem explorar a elaboração de cenários, que promoveria uma maior discussão e daria aos resultados mais robusteza. Estes cenários, baseados em padrões identificados historicamente, não representariam um fato futuro, mas possibilitaria definir estratégias e indicar políticas públicas para potencializar ou inibir as tendências da urbanização. Portanto, o objetivou-se simular a expansão da mancha urbana do município de Mateus Leme para o ano de 2024, ano em que o último perímetro urbano aprovado por lei municipal, deverá ser revisto, além de destacar a importância das simulações como ferramenta de apoio ao planejamento urbano.
Ocupação Do Sertão De Leste Nas Minas Gerais Do Século XIX
Authors: Santos Victor Vinicius do , Carneiro Patrício Silva , Horta Célio Augusto da Cunha
Published: December 2022

Esse estudo examina aspectos da ocupação da porção de Minas Gerais, anteriormente denominadas de Sertões de Leste, tendo em conta sua posição geográfica – situada na borda da região mineradora – e as frentes pioneiras que alcançaram essa vasta extensão de florestas no século XIX. Suas características naturais se preservaram devido a fatores de ordem política e econômica que impediram a circulação e o estabelecimento de colonos nessas terras. Contudo, a partir de 1808, o desbravamento e conquista ganharam impulso. Entre 1808 e 1839, as bases que garantiram a entrada no Sertão de Leste foram estabelecidas e os maiores obstáculos vencidos com a construção de novas estradas oficiais, doações de sesmarias  e proliferação de fazendas e vilas que gradualmente acabaram com o espaço vital dos indígenas. De 1840 até o fim do século a ocupação se intensificou, as sesmarias doadas foram ocupadas, novas terras foram empossadas, o desmatamento, a agropecuária e atividades correlatas expandiram-se e a diversificação econômica ganhou expressão.  O café avançou sobre essas terras, especialmente a partir de 1850/60 e, mais tarde, a indústria têxtil, a siderurgia e a mineração se consolidaram definitivamente nas imediações do curso médio da bacia do rio Doce.

A técnica de RAPD: uma ferramenta molecular em estudos de conservação de plantas
Authors: Lacerda Daniela R. , Acedo Maria D. P. , Lemos Filho José P. de , Lovato Maria B.
Published: December 2022

The RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) technique has been widely used in genetic studies of plant species, since the beginning of the 90’s when it was first described. Several works have demonstrated the utility of this methodology to get insight into the genetic diversity and structure of natural populations aiming at conservation of the studied species. Other applications related to conservation, such as hybrid detection and species identification, can be found in the literature. The RAPD technique produces molecular markers through the use of small primers with arbitrary sequences and, because of that, it is specially useful for investigating species which had not been described genetically. This technique is also very useful to analyze rare or threatened species, since it is fast and shows a high potential to detect polymorphism even when small amount of genomic DNA is available. The present review discusses the main advantages and limitations of the RAPD technique, aiming to show why it is an important tool in population and conservation genetics.
Orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of Ilha de Maracá, Roraima, northern Brazil
Authors: Nemésio André
Published: December 2022

Male orchid bees attracted to cineole and vanillin during six days were collected in two sites at different distances from the forest edge in the Ilha de Maracá, Roraima state, northern Brazil. Ninety individuals belonging to eleven species were collected. Considering both sites together, Eufriesea superba (Hoffmannsegg) was the most common species (twice as abundant at the edge) followed by Euglossa chalybeata Friese (three times as abundant in the interior). Eulaema cingulata (Fabricius), the fourthcommonest species, was collected only at the border. Cineole was the most attractive bait in the interior of the forest, whereas vanillin attracted the largest number of specimens at the edge of the forest. While cineole was equally attractive both in the interior and at the edge of the forest, vanillin attracted three times as much bees at the edge of the forest than in its interior. When compared to other studies carried out in similar periods, this study suggests that abundance and richness of orchid bees at this site may be high.

Avifauna urbana no Lago Pôr do Sol, Iporá, Goiás, Brasil
Authors: Silva Flávia D. S. , Blamires Daniel
Published: December 2022

Bird communities in urban areas are poorly studied in Brazil. The purpose of the present work was to describe the avifauna of the Lago Pôr do Sol, an urban lake in the municipality of Iporá in the state of Goiás, central Brazil. The fieldwork was carried out from May 2001 to April 2002, during 24 biweekly visits to the area. A transect was used to estimate species richness and bird abundance. A total of 70 species (27.2/month) belonging in 32 families and 1,701 bird findings (141.6 findings/month) were recorded. Twenty-six (37.1%) of the species found in Iporá were not recorded in a similar survey in Goiânia, 234 km away. This seems to reflect differences in the original Cerrado physiognomies in the two areas. The division of species in trophic categories showed the Iporá bird community to be dominated by omnivorous and insectivorous species. However, considering the number of individuals for any trophic level, there was a prevalence of insectivores. On the other hand, species and individuals were distributed among four habitat categories, which are related to significant habitat heterogeneity in the lake. The Range Centre Index values for most species is under 0.5, suggesting that the Lago Pôr do Sol is close to the midpoint of the geographical ranges of the bird species recorded.

Published: December 2022

The butterfly fauna of a small forest fragment in the campus of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais was surveyed between March and November 2001. The adult butterflies were captured using hand nets and frugivorous traps. In addition, caterpillars were raised in the laboratory for identification after emergence. Ninety-one species of six families were recorded. Among them, 46.1% belonged in Nymphalidae; 28.5% in Hesperiidae; 15.4% in Pieridae; 4.4% in Riodinidae; 4.4% in Papilionidae; and 1.1% in Lycaenidae. At least 28.6% of the species are common in urban and other disturbed environments in Brazil and no rare or endangered species was recorded. On the other hand, the species in this fragment represent 18.7% of the species known to occur in the vicinities of the city of Belo Horizonte. Moreover, species of taxa considered as indicators of preserved environments, although in small absolute numbers, occurred in proportions similar to those found in large forest remnants across Brazil. It is concluded that the studied fragment, as well as other small urban fragments, are important refuges for conservation of butterflies within cities.
Cultivating STEM Interest in High School Students through Computer-assisted COVID-19 Pandemic Awareness Course
Authors: Alkhair Shahad , Bhadra Jolly Subhash
Published: December 2022

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students were sidetracked by the shift in the educational process, primarily in the field of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. Teachers were also besieged to find sustainable teaching solutions. During this chaos, many were subjected to various rumors and misinformation about the pandemic. Hence, we aimed to design a 3 week long computer-assisted STEM-based health awareness course. The course was designed and delivered to twenty high school students in various public schools in Qatar. The course creators utilized various innovative computer-based educational tools to involve and motivate students. In addition, students attended several synchronous and asynchronous sessions with experts in different fields to gain a better awareness of the crisis. A feedback mechanism was also operated to assess the effectiveness of the course delivery. The results revealed a 100% retention rate. The student questionnaire survey result showed higher post-test scores on pandemic awareness. A SWOT analysis depicted the strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the executed course. Thereby, we successfully investigated the effectiveness of the STEM-integrated pedagogical approach through the learning outcomes of the student’s awareness of the course.

Authors: Peña Nieto Luis Ángel
Published: December 2022

Metamorfosis es una propuesta juvenil de crecimiento y desarrollo espiritual divergente, que apunta a la innovación, a la disrupción y al emprendimiento religioso; esta propuesta tiene su génesis en una estrategia de la Capellanía del Instituto Superior Adventista de Misiones (ISAM), en Misiones, Argentina, de crear el más contemporáneo, el más progresista y el más osado ambiente espiritual en la institución. Para tal fin, se aplicaron ejercicios básicos de investigación para el análisis del contexto de la situación espiritual de la mencionada institución, mismos que permitieron hacer un relevamiento de los niveles de éxito de lo hecho hasta entonces en términos de Educación Religiosa Escolar (en adelante ERE), y hacer prospectivas de impacto con un nuevo proyecto religioso que capitalizara, desde distintas dinámicas espirituales centradas en las necesidades de los estudiantes, el talentismo (el activo más valioso en la ERE) de estos, como también desde el aporte que los otros públicos como docentes, directivos, padres de familia y vecinos, podrían hacer para la refundación de la ERE en la institución. De ese trabajo exploratorio y de reinvención surgió entonces Metamorfosis, un ecosistema espiritual versátil, provocador e intencional que propicia mejores experiencias de vida para el desarrollo espiritual orgánico y sostenible en los jóvenes. Mediante una agresiva campaña de promoción de diversas opciones de participación, los jóvenes pudieron encontrar un espacio propio, personal y a medida en cuanto a pertenecer a un nuevo movimiento de conexión real con Dios; un sitio que los incluyera para que, desde sus talentos natos, sus fortalezas de carácter y con sus potencialidades, pudieran sumarse a un cambio de protagonismo religioso; uno en el que fueran ellos mismos quienes se encargaran de liderar y dar paso al nacimiento de una nueva generación de jóvenes para quienes lo “In” es ser religioso y ser espiritual: jóvenes informados sobre Jesús, jóvenes formados como Jesús y jóvenes transformados a imagen de Jesús.

A STUDY ON THE PREVALENCE OF ANAEMIA AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN KASHMIR VALLEY.
Authors: Khan Galzie Saniyah , Imtiaz Rasool Qazi
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Anaemia during pregnancy is a major health problem in South Asian countries and developing
countries.World Health Organization (WHO) has dened anaemia in pregnancy as the haemoglobin less than 11g/dl.
Predisposing factors of anaemia in pregnancy are young age, grandmultiparity, low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, ignorance and short
interpregnancy interval. This study was done to know the prevalence and type of anaemia among pregnant women in Kashmir valley and study
the factors that lead to the women being anaemic prior to pregnancy and gradually worsening of anaemia with each trimester. Materials And
Method: A retrospective observational time based study was conducted from to mid October 2021 to mid January 2022 at Lalla Ded hospital ,
GMC Srinagar, Kashmir. Relevant patient data,ie. gestational age, parity, interpregnancy interval, same day haemoglobin estimation was
collected from opd record register and analysed. The prevalence of anaemia was Results: 82.46%. moderate anaemia was most common
(52.13%). The prevalence of anaemia was high among all the trimesters; 71.43% in rst trimester,86.5% in second trimester,80.5% in third
trimester. Although the prevalence of anaemia was high in both primigravidae (76.72%) and multigravidae(85.51%), the prevalence of anaemia
among primigravidae was less than multigravidae. Mild anaemia was more prevalent in primigravidas (24.66%) than multigravidas (19.56%)
whereas moderate and severe anaemia was more in multigravidas. With interpregnancy interval of < 1yr, there was high incidence of moderate
anaemia (85.71%). Whereas it was 31.25% when interpregnancy interval was between 1-<2yr. Conclusion: Most women enter pregnancy in an
anaemic state, which is worsened as pregnancy progresses. Iron supplementation helps in decreasing the severity of anaemia, however the
current measures are inadequate as high percentage of women in the third trimester suffer from anaemia(80.5%).Multiparity and interpregnancy
interval < 1 yr was found to be important risk factors for anaemia.

deaths were there due to this malignancy. About 90% of these cases are found in low and middle-income countries.
Cervical cancer is the only female genital tract cancer which can be diagnosed and treated in precancerous state by simple screening techniques.
VIA/VILI are cheap and noninvasive methods and can be done in a low-level health facility. More importantly, VIA and VILI provide instant
results, and those eligible for treatment of the precancerous lesions can be treated immediately. This retrospective study Material And Methods:
was carried out in a Gynecology clinic in district Shivpuri M.P. From 1 April 2019 to 31 march 2022. 450 patients were studied. A detailed
history regarding name, age, residence, socio-economic status, parity, any previous study, and any allergy was enquired. All ndings of VIA and
VILI-positive cases were carefully documented in the proforma. In this study visual inspection of the cervix was done in 450 cases and 59 biopsy
specimens were sent. In this study most of the patients were between 21-40 ye Results: ars of age (40%), multipara (74.88%), of low
socioeconomic background (50.66%), and most of them were from rural areas (64%). The most common presenting symptom was excessive
vaginal discharge (58.88%) followed by abnormal bleeding (13.11%). (13.11%) cases were VIA positive and (10.44%) cases were both
VIA/VILI positive. Biopsy was taken from 59 patients who were VIA positive, this test detected 5.55% (25 patients) of CIN I, 2% (9 patients) of
CIN II, 1.77% (8 patients) of CIN III, and 0.22% (1 patient) cases of squamous cell carcinoma. W Conclusion: e found that VIA and VILI can be
adopted as screening tools for the diagnosis of cervical lesions. Result and follow-up treatment can be provided in a single sitting hence fewer
women are lost to follow-up.

Published: December 2022

Background: Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of orbital diseases especially neoplasms. USG and CT
remained as primary imaging modalities for most of suspected orbital neoplasms. However, use of MRI is especially
valuable for assessing its extent. Precise descriptions of lesion location, involved orbital compartments, spread to orbital apex, perineural and
intracranial spread and also provide information beyond what can be seen by fundoscopy, thus facilitates appropriate treatment. Materials And
Methods: The present study is a hospital based cross sectional study on 100 patients who were requested MRI for various signs and symptoms of
orbital pathologies over 2 years' period. Out of 100 patients, Maximum patients we Results: re found amongst the age group of 41 to 50 years with
frequency 27 (27 %) while least number of cases recorded in age group >70 years was 3 (3 %). There was equal distribution of various orbital
pathologies among both males(50%) and females(50%).Maximum (77%) cases were unilateral and (23%) cases were bilateral. Maximum
patients 52(52%) had secondary orbital involvement while 48(48%) had primary orbital involvement. Maximum 65(65%) patients had orbital
pathologies conned to single compartment and 35(35%) patients had multispatial involvement both of which were predominantly unilateral.
Amongst unicompartmental pathologies maximum patients had exclusively extraconal involvement. Nature wise maximum cases were
infective / inammatory (52%) which were predominantly unilateral. Least cases were endocrine/ systemic and vascular in nature accounting
(2%) each. MRI is an excellent imaging modality for comprehensive assessment Conclusion: of various orbital pathologies thereby, allowing

Shared Autonomy Locomotion Synthesis with Virtual Wearable Robotic Devices
Authors: Hodossy Balint , Farina Dario
Published: December 2022

Objective: Virtual environments provide a safe and accessible way to test innovative technologies for controlling wearable robotic devices for assisting human movement. However, to apply them to systems that support walking, such as powered prosthetic legs, it is not enough to model the hardware itself. Predictive locomotion synthesizers can generate the movements of a virtual user, with whom the simulated device can be trained or evaluated. 

Methods: We implemented a Deep Reinforcement Learning based motion controller in a physics engine, where autonomy over the humanoid model is shared between the simulated user and the control policy of an active prosthesis. A data-driven, continuous representations of user intent was used to simulate a Human Machine Interface that controlled a transtibial prosthesis. The system was tested in a complex non-steady-state locomotion task, involving turns and stops.

Results: Providing the intent to the device control policy did not improve performance of the human-prosthesis system if both policies were learnt simultaneously. However, if the human walking policy was frozen, the intent-driven prosthesis outperformed its counterpart at non-cyclic gait patterns.

Conclusion: The continuous intent representation used was shown to mitigate the need for compensatory gait patterns from their virtual users. Co-adaptation was identified as a potential challenge for training prosthesis control policies with human-in-the-loop.

Significance: The proposed framework outlines a way to explore the complex design space of robot-assisted gait, promoting the transfer of the next generation of intent driven controllers from the lab to real-life scenarios.
Optimal Participation of Co-located Wind-battery Plants in Sequential Electricity Markets

Published: December 2022

Since hybrid power plants (HPPs) play an intensive role in the energy supply balance of future energy systems, there is today an increased attention on co-located wind-battery HPPs both in industry and academia. However, the profitability of HPPs in sequential electricity markets to overcome initial investment costs has not been yet well examined, especially with respect to  balancing services provision. This article proposes a novel energy management system (EMS) for optimal participation of wind-battery HPPs in two sequential electricity markets, namely in spot market and balancing market. The methodology consists of three optimization models, which allow HPPs to achieve energy arbitrage, to provide balancing services, and to reduce real-time imbalance costs. Furthermore, the profitability of HPPs in future (2030) energy scenario is analyzed based on the new designed and developed EMS taking balancing service into account. The results of the overplanting case show that HPPs operated based on the proposed EMS achieve net present value 3.6 times as high as sole operation in spot market.
Learning Vision and Language Relations from Pre-trained Unimodal Encoders with Cross Attention
Authors: Lana Jandrik
Published: December 2022

Pre-trained vision language models (VL) have seen a rise in recent years, achieving state-of-the-art performance on tasks such as visual question answering, image captioning, zero-shot tasks, text-to-image synthesis, and many more. However, these models are large, also requiring large amounts of data, which can hinder application on resource-limited settings. This paper proposes CAPIT (Cross Attention on Pre-trained Image and Text models), a novel architecture built on top of frozen pre-trained unimodal encoders, utilizing transferable knowledge from pre-trainined models through cross-attentional transformers. CAPIT is trained with a simple supervised task that learns to predict the correspondence between image-text pairs. It is then tested on zero-shot image classification. The proposed model contains less parameters and uses less data compared to other methods, while performing fairly well with trade-offs between compute requirements performance, showing promise for future work in resource-limited settings.

Low understanding of mathematical concepts in mathematical learning is due to a lack of learning strategies. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of Habits of Mind (HOM) on students' visual thinking in understanding mathematical concepts. Costa and Kallick's 16-category HOM questionnaires were used as research instruments. Data analysis techniques used data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion withdrawal. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known not to have the ability habits of mindfully. The results showed the profile of HOM in the understanding of the mathematics of students with visual thinking is still classified as sufficient criteria. And overall, the average Habits of Mind indicator obtained is 66.61% included in the requirements enough. Students who have Habits of Mind and good visual thinking will more easily understand mathematics. In contrast, Habits of Mind and visual thinking that is not good will be more difficult to understand mathematics.
