Published: November 2023

O Rip-Rap é uma técnica construtiva empregada para estabilização de encosta e taludes que utiliza sacos preenchidos de solo e cimento. Os Resíduos de Construção e Demolição (RCD) são materiais provenientes de obras de construções, reformas, reparos e demolições, que se tornou um grande problema nos últimos anos devido ao seu acúmulo e falta de destinação.  Nesse sentido,  este  trabalho visa apresentar áreas suscetíveis a processos vulneráveis e a caracterização dos RCDs beneficiados provenientes do município para a utilização do RCD como material de construção de muros de contenções do tipo Rip-Rap. Com o grande risco de deslizamento de encostas em moradias dispostas de maneira desordenada, a prevenção se torna necessária. Com a escassez de recursos a técnica de solo-cimento ou Rip-Rap se torna uma alternativa atraente com baixo custo. Devido ao crescimento de obras e reformas, os RCDs acabam sendo descartados no meio ambiente, contribuindo para diversos tipos de poluição.  Através de cartas topográficas foi possível identificar áreas vulneráveis à processos erosivos  e caracterizar o RCD após processo de beneficiamento. Além da presença de diversas construções irregulares, a topografia da região onde se localiza o município de João Monlevade-Minas Gerais contribui diretamente para a ocorrência de movimentos de terra, ocasionando deslizamentos. Em relação a caracterização do RCD foi possível identificar um Diâmetro máximo característico de 2,6, Limite de Liquidez 32% e Limite de Plasticidade 5,39%.

Published: November 2023

O setor da construção civil apesar de ser um propulsor do desenvolvimento social e econômico, também causa significativos impactos ambientais negativos devido à disposição inadequada e geração expressiva de resíduos. Com isso, em 2002 foi aprovada a Resolução n° 307 do Conselho Nacional de Meio Ambiente (CONAMA), que estabelece diretrizes, critérios e procedimentos para a gestão dos resíduos da construção civil (RCC). O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a quantidade de RCC gerados no município de Medianeira - Paraná, realizando estudo de caso utilizando como referência os dados das licenças de construção emitidas pelo município em 2022. Estimou-se a geração de 12.279,05 toneladas de resíduos para novas obras no município. Considerando que aproximadamente 97% desses resíduos podem ser reciclados ou reutilizados em outras destinações, torna-se fundamental a implementação de políticas públicas que promovam uma gestão e gerenciamento adequados para que haja uma contribuição para o desenvolvimento sustentável.

Published: November 2023

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi estudar a influência dos resíduos do arroz (casca e cinza da casca) nas propriedades físicas, mecânicas e térmica de biocompósitos contendo cimento Portland, a fim destinar os resíduos e reduzir o impacto ambiental do descarte inadequado, além de reduzir a extração de recursos naturais pela construção civil. Os biocompósitos foram preparados utilizando casca de arroz substituindo o agregado miúdo, e cinza de casca de arroz, substituindo parcialmente o cimento Portland, sendo expostos ao intemperismo natural durante 9 meses. Foram avaliadas as resistências à compressão e à tração, absorção de água, retração por secagem e condutividade térmica. Os resultados mostraram biocompósitos com potencial de uso em painéis leves, pois com o aumento no teor de casca de arroz melhorou a condutividade térmica, mas reduziu a resistência à compressão e aumentou a retração, provavelmente devido ao acréscimo na porosidade, evidenciado pelo ganho na absorção de água.

Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a utilização de terra para argamassa de revestimento, com a inserção de fibras de poliéster provenientes da indústria têxtil, sem adição de areia. A terra empregada apresenta textura argilo-arenosa e as argamassas foram formuladas sem adição de fibras e em teores de 0,1%, 0,2% e 0,3%, analisando propriedades físicas e o desempenho mecânico. Os resultados mostram que tanto a retração quanto as propriedades mecânicas avaliadas não atingiram os valores mínimos recomendados pela norma DIN 18947, indicando que esta terra precisa ser estabilizada para ser utilizada em revestimentos argamassados.
Estimativa das emissões de CO2 associadas à produção do concreto via técnicas de aprendizado de máquina
Authors: Cândido Renan Alves , Felix Emerson Felipe
Published: November 2023

Ao incorporar adições minerais à produção do concreto em substituição a parte do cimento Portland, reduz-se consideravelmente as emissões de dióxido de carbono (CO2). Isso se deve ao fato de que a produção de cimento representa aproximadamente 8% das emissões globais de CO2. Além da substituição do cimento, os agregados naturais também vêm sendo substituídos por resíduos de construção e demolição (RCD), garantindo menor impacto ambiental ao concreto. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho surge com o propósito de compilar valores de emissões de CO2, de trabalhos da literatura, atrelados à concretos com diferentes adições e distintos teores de substituição de agregados naturais por RCD, e propor modelos numéricos desenvolvidos com regressão linear múltipla e Florestas Aleatórias. Os resultados alcançados demonstraram a eficiência das Florestas Aleatórias, gerando um modelo com 89,0% de acurácia. O proposto apresentou um erro médio de 24,22 kgCO2/m³ de concreto, representando um erro percentual médio de 5,68%.

Beyond fallacies: violent conflicts globally and in muslim countries
Authors: Bhatti Haseeb , Lim Steven
Published: November 2023

This article explores the relationship between key economic development indicators and the occurrence of violent civil conflicts. It examines public policy failures and mistakes which link with onset of conflicts. Two sets of 160 countries are included to empirically analyse the determinants of conflicts. This analysis extends to two distinctive subsets of Muslim countries. The paper establishes that the classification procedure of violent conflicts matters—varying classifications offer dissimilar values to similar predictors.  Here, our conclusions are contrary to the much emphasized ‘greed motivation’ to rebel, which dismisses strong linkages of ‘grievances’ like low income, economic development failures and political repression with intrastate violent conflicts. The paper also infers limitations in country level data—which cross-country studies employ—income and unemployment data are non-reflective of conflict regions and of horizontal inequalities. We stress region and country specific research.
Bed space management as a strategy for managing overcrowding in the corrections environment in South Africa
Authors: Mlomo-Ndlovu VC , Luyt WFM
Published: November 2023

Overcrowding in the criminal justice system, in general, and corrections, in particular, is a phenomenon that generates inhumane conditions. The burden is felt by the Department of Correctional Services. The objective of this article is to explore the process of bed space creation and maintenance. The focus areas are calculation of bed spaces, exploration of factors that influence the availability of bed spaces, and the determination of the long-term effects of lack of bed space on inmates. The article encapsulates the minimum standards for inmate living spaces as determined by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and the United States of America. Furthermore, the article includes an analysis of specified regional occupancy and the challenges experienced in bed space management. A mixed method design was utilised and concurrent triangulation with a multistage purposeful random scheme was applied. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews and analysis of historical records. A parallel mixed analysis was conducted with integration during the interpretation and discussion of findings. The main finding was that the fluctuation in bed spaces has a direct influence on occupancy and overcrowding levels.
Are we there yet? A look at the remaining questions on physician-assisted suicide and physician-administered euthanasia
Authors: Mnyandu Ntokozo
Published: November 2023

The research examines the common law to determine whether physician-assisted suicide and physician-administered euthanasia are lawful. In doing so, it establishes that these practices meet the definition of murder. The research then determines the underlying rationale for the common law and concludes that the prohibition against deliberate killing is the cornerstone of our law and social relationships. In order to determine whether the current position follows the logic of the common law, there is a discussion of how the prohibition against intentional killing has evolved over time. It is shown that the law has been at pains to protect life and that assisting another person to kill themselves for whatever reason has never been lawful under the various sources of our common law. Finally, it considers whether the current position is in line with the spirit of the Constitution. In doing so, regard is had to the values of ubuntu, human dignity and the advancement of human rights and freedoms. Although the research argues that the prohibition is consistent with the spirit of the Constitution, it recognises that these practices involve compelling policy considerations pointing in opposite directions. It may well be that current public policy considerations do not chart the path of common law development with sufficient clarity for the courts to intervene. The reason for this is there are few matters more sensitive and challenging than those which concern deliberate decisions to end life, either by providing persons with the means to commit suicide or by actively taking steps that end life on request. Therefore, the legislature may be the proper engine for legal development.
Cyber-warrant searches and the admissibility of seized smartphone data evidence at trial
Authors: Theophilopoulos Constantine
Published: November 2023

A validly issued cyber-warrant is a primary investigating tool in the seizure of smartphone data content and may be the only lawful method of obtaining relevant data-file evidence about the cyber-offence culpability of a co-perpetrator, accomplice, or accessory. A cyber-warrant for the seizure and search of a portable handheld smartphone, or minicomputer, must be drafted in a manner that is procedurally different from the warrant for the seizure of a desktop or laptop computer. This article critically examines the warrant procedures for accessing and searching relevant data files stored in a smartphone’s default storage mediums and downloaded applications. These technical procedures are described in the Cybercrimes Act, indirectly in the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, the Criminal Procedure Act, and related Acts. This procedural analysis is based on a revised principle of smartphone cyber-intelligibility, and the application of the sub-principles of cyber-offence particularity and data-access specificity. The substantive issue of cyber-privacy and the procedural issue of chain-of-data evidence custody is briefly examined.

Authors: Mangal Anuj , Garg Hitendra , Bhatnagar Charul
Published: November 2023

Co-salient object identification is a new and emerging branch of the visual saliency detection technique that tries to find salient pattern appearing in several image groups. The proposed work has the potential to benefit a wide variety of important applications including the detection of objects of interest, more robust object recognition and animation synthesis, handling input image query, 3D object reconstruction, object co-segmentation etc. To build modified ResNet50 model, the hyperparameters are adjusted in the current work to increase accuracy while minimizing loss. The modified network is trained on HOG features to mine more significant features along with their corresponding ground truth images. For a more streamlined outcome, the proposed system was built using the SGDM optimizer. During testing among the relevant and irrelevant image the network generates appropriate co-saliency map of relevant images. Integrating the associated and prominent characteristics of the image yields the appropriate ground truth for each image. The proposed method reports better F1 value 98.7% and MAE score 0.089 value when compared with SOTA model.

Authors: Rawat Priyanshu , Bajaj Madhvan , Vats Satvik , Sharma Vikrant
Published: November 2023

Music Assortment is a music information retrieval (MIR) function to decide music connotation computationally. In recent years, deep neural networks have been proven to be effective in numerous classification tasks, including music genre categorisation. In this paper, we employ a comparative study between the two different music classification techniques. The first technique uses the audio’s spectrogram image and computes the music’s genre based on its spectrogram, using the CNN model trained on the spectrograms. The second approach computes the MFCC’s (Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients) musical features and utilises them to classify the music using ANN. This paper aims to study the two algorithms closely against different audio signals and check the performance report of the above-mentioned techniques to see which of them is better for music genre classification.

Authors: Malik Monika , Joshi Alok , Sakya Gayatri
Published: November 2023

The Wireless sensor network incorporates high density tiny sensor nodes. These sensor nodes are placed in the mission critical areas where human intervention becomes difficult. Sensor nodes run through the disadvantage of limited battery life because of which they die out in the network. There are several techniques to make these sensor nodes to stay for longer period; Out of this clustering is widely used practice. The LEACH clustering technique is one of the simple protocols to study upon improvement of network lifetime. All nodes get a chance to become a cluster head which aggregate data within the cluster and send data to the base station. This paper presents the selection of dual controller cluster heads. The selection is done on the basis of the first highest and the second highest energy node, these dual controllers are selected for transmission and reception which is based on residual energy in each round. The nodes are made alternatively on and off, so that the round time for selection increases. When both controller nodes have energy value less that threshold values the round occurs. The simulation result shows increase in the time required for the last node to die. The proposed method extended the network lifespan and hence QoS using the unique dual controller approach.

CROSSFIT AND RECURRING JOINT INJURIES
Authors: Pereira Gomes Adilson , Maria Santos de Aguiar Débora
Published: November 2023

CrossFit is an intense and multifaceted physical training modality that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. However, it has also raised concerns about the risk of injury, especially to the joints. Recurrent joint injuries are a relevant concern for CrossFit practitioners, as the modality involves high-intensity movements, such as weight lifting, jumping, running and exercises that place significant pressure on the joints. Joint injuries in CrossFit can occur due to a variety of reasons, including lack of proper technique, overload, lack of adequate warm-up, muscle fatigue, and repetitive movements. The joints most susceptible to injury include the shoulders, knees, hips and wrist joints. Joint injuries can range from mild to severe and can include strains, sprains, cartilage injuries and even ligament tears. To prevent recurring joint injuries during CrossFit practice, it is essential that practitioners receive adequate guidance from a qualified trainer. This includes learning the correct technique for each movement, not exceeding personal load limits, warming up thoroughly, and taking appropriate recovery measures after training. Furthermore, listening to your own body and respecting signs of fatigue and pain is essential to avoid injuries. The present study aims to identify recurrent injuries in CrossFit. The methodology used to prepare the study is qualitative research, through a bibliographic review. It is concluded that CrossFit is a challenging modality that can expose practitioners to the risk of recurrent joint injuries, especially when inadequate technique and lack of safety precautions are involved. With the correct guidance, adequate training and respect for personal limits, it is possible to minimize these risks and enjoy the benefits of CrossFit in a safer and healthier way.

Honey bees are the main pollinators, but they are in decline and synthetic phytosanitary products (SSPs) are suspected to be related. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of three commercial SPPs, used to control the stink bug in soybean, formulated with Acetamiprid + Alpha-cypermethrin; Imidacloprid + Beta-Cyfluthrin and Fenitrothion + Esfenvalerate, on adult worker Africanized Apis mellifera. For this, worker honey bees was exposed to SPPs through three bioassays: 1) sprayed on the bees, 2) sprayed on Petri dishes in which the bees was subsequently placed, and 3) mixed with the Candy paste supplied to the bees. The honey bees in bioassay 3 had their midgut submitted to histopathological analysis. All bioassays was maintained in a climatized room (34 ± 2ºC, RH 60 ± 5%) and the workers longevity was verified at 1 up to 120 hours. In bioassay 1 at the time of 6 hours evaluation, 100% of the bees of all the SPPs was dead. In bioassay 2 all bees was dead after two hours of exposure of the three SPP. In bioassay 3 the SPP1 and SPP2 caused 100% mortality after 60 hours of exposure, to theSPP3 all bees was dead after 96 hours, while for the control, after 96 hours only 45% of the bees were dead. Histological analysis revealed the destruction of the midgut cells of all workers from the three SPPs treatments. The three evaluated SPPs showed no selectivity for A. mellifera workers, reducing bee longevity.

Pesticides are chemical agents that have a range of harmful effects on human health and the environment. They can cause drastic changes in natural communities, such as macroinvertebrates, plankton and fish. Snails, including Biomphalaria glabrata, are often present in aquatic communities and have multiple roles in limnic ecosystems. B. glabrata is an intermediate host of several species of helminths of medical and veterinary importance, such as Schistosoma mansoni, the etiological agent of schistosomiasis. The original Roundup® herbicide can affect snails and directly affects S. mansoni hemocytes, cells that act in the snails’ immune defense. Here we analyzed the effect of herbicide exposure on B. glabrata hemocytes divided into four groups: control group, infected-only group, treated-only group and infected+treated group. For this, flow cytometry and Neubauer-chamber counting were used to determine the morphology, viability and lectin expression profiles of hemocytes. We observed that the group infected by S. mansoni and treated with herbicide had a higher concentration of dead hemocytes in relation to the other groups. The treated group showed similar results to the control group, suggesting that the herbicide (Roundup™) alone does not interfere with the snails’ immune system. Regarding cellular-morphological-characterization analysis, hyalinocytes were the cells most commonly found in all groups studied. These findings suggest that S. mansoni infection and exposure to pesticides directly the immune system of the snails, stimulating the production of hemocytes, especially hyalinocytes, which have a high phagocytic power to quell the infection, but with toxic effects on the snail.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic potential of water samples fromthree streams of the Ivinhema River Basin using the Allium cepa test. Sampling was conducted in March 2017. Surfacewater samples collected from the Piravevê, Vitória, and Rosário streams induced cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in A. cepa.Reductions in both germination and cell division were observed, which may have been related to the flow of toxic residuesfrom the sugarcane monoculture into the stream’s waters. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop restoration projectsaimed at conserving the water quality and biodiversity in these aquatic environments.

This research aims to investigate the impact of the Know, Want To Know, Learned (KWL) learning method and students' interest in reading on the learning outcomes of reading comprehension in VIII class of MTs Daar el-Qolam IV. The study is motivated by the low English language learning outcomes in the understanding concept and the lack of reading interest among students. Therefore, the researcher implements the KWL model to address the challenges faced by the students. The method employed in this research is an experiment with a 2x2 treatment by level design. The population consists of all VIII students of MTs Daar el-Qolam IV, totaling 191 students. The sample was taken using the simple random sampling technique, comprising 76 students divided into two groups; the experimental class (A1) being class VIII-B with 36 students, and the control class (A2) being class VIII-C with 40 students. The research findings indicate that (1) the KWL model is more effective when used by students compared to the conventional method commonly used, namely the Think Pair Share (TPS) method. (2) Additionally, the results also demonstrate that students with a high interest in reading have higher learning outcomes compared to students with low reading interest. (3) There is an interaction between students who undergo the learning process using the KWL method and students using the TPS learning method. (4) Students with high reading interest in the KWL group have higher reading comprehension learning outcomes compared to students in the TPS group, even though they both have high reading interest. And (5) Students in the KWL group with low reading interest also have high reading comprehension learning outcomes compared to students in the TPS group with low reading interest.

Edebiyat, öğrenciyi yaşamla buluşturan, onun yaşama farklı bir pencereden bakmasını sağlayan, daha farklı olasılıkların da olabileceğini gösteren bir disiplin ve yaşamı anlamanın vazgeçilmez aracıdır. Edebiyatı sadece dersliklerde ve ders kitapları çerçevesinde ele almak, öğrenci, edebiyat ve yaşam arasına bir mesafe koyarak öğrenciyi edebiyattan uzaklaştırmaktadır. Bu nedenle edebiyat, yaşam ve öğrenci arasındaki bağı geliştirip kuvvetlendirecek hayale, deneye ve keşfe açık, yenilikçi, yaratıcı ve alternatif uygulamalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu uygulamalardan biri müzede eğitimidir çünkü müzeler, sanatsal ve kültürel objeler aracılığıyla ziyaretçilerin kişisel bilgi ve becerilerini bir diğer disipline transfer etme becerilerini geliştirerek onlara özel ve benzersiz öğrenme deneyimi sunan etkili okul dışı öğrenme ortamlarıdır. Edebiyat eğitimi sürecinde müzeler, sergilediği nesneler ve anlattığı hikâyeler aracılığıyla edebiyatı somutlaştırarak yaşam, edebiyat ve okur arasında bağ kurmakta ve okuru edebiyata yaklaştırmaktadır. Müzelerin birçok disiplinin eğitiminde okul dışı öğrenme ortamı olarak kullanımı yaygınlaşmakta ancak dil ve edebiyat eğitimi gibi alanlarda kullanımına ilişkin uygulama örnekleri sınırlılık göstermektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma kapsamında Türk dili ve edebiyatı eğitiminde müzelerin kullanımına yönelik uygulama örnekleri üzerinden Türk dili ve edebiyatı öğretmeni adaylarının müzede edebiyat eğitime ilişkin deneyimlerini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma nitel bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma grubunu Ankara’da bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim görmekte olan on beş Türk dili ve edebiyatı öğretmenliği öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında altı edebiyat müzesinde, 36 saat edebiyat eğitimi çalışması yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın verilerinin toplanmasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ve süreç değerlendirme notları kullanılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının müzede gerçekleşen uygulamalara ilişkin deneyimleri farkındalık, katkı ve eleştiri başlıkları altında değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının edebiyatı bütünsel ve disiplinlerarası bir bakış açısıyla ele aldıkları, edebiyat eğitiminin müzeler gibi okul dışı öğrenme ortamlarında yapılabileceği konusunda algılarının değiştiği, uygulamanın ardından edebiyata ilişkin sevgi, ilgi, merak ve farkındalıklarının arttığı belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlardan hareketle Türk dili ve edebiyatı öğretim programında müzelerin kullanımına ilişkin etkinlik önerilerine ile uygulama örneklerine yer verilmesi ve müzelerdeki eğitim birimleri tarafından Türk dili ve edebiyatı öğretimi kazanımları ile ilişkilendirilmiş öğretim etkinliklerinin hazırlanması önerilmektedir.
