Esse estudo teve como objetivo: investigar os efeitos da mediação de conflitos, nos processos de alienação parental. A mediação é um método consensual e pacífico de resolução de situações conflituosas, em que, um terceiro elemento, com a necessária capacitação, facilita o diálogo e a alteridade entre as partes, de modo a melhorar a comunicação, a consciência das dificuldades do outro, e, se possível, se chegar a um acordo, uma solução. Essa pesquisa referenciou-se no método da pesquisa qualitativa. Como procedimento foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com três profissionais de Psicologia e três profissionais de Direito, de ambos os sexos, na faixa etária dentre 30 e 45 anos. Os relatos foram analisados através do método da Análise de Conteúdo. Como resultado, pode-se afirmar que: a maneira como é conduzido o processo de mediação de conflitos, em casos de alienação parental, é influenciado pela postura técnica e profissional do mediador, tanto por suas habilidades e saberes, quanto por seu próprio olhar para interpretar e lidar com situações que envolvem relações afetivas, subjetivas e de poder. Assim, o modelo da mediação, por ser um instrumento que facilita a comunicação e o diálogo compreensivo, produz resultados extremamente positivos evitando-se o agravamento de casos de alienação parental, constituindo-se num método válido e construtivo.

Published: April 2019

In the network security system cryptography plays a vital role for the secure transmission of information. Cryptography is a process of integrating and transferring the data to the genuine users against any attacks. There are two types of Cryptographic algorithm: Symmetric and Asymmetric algorithms. In the symmetric type cryptography, single key is used for both encryption and decryption. Symmetric algorithms are fast and simple. Asymmetric cryptographic algorithm uses different keys such as public key to encrypt the message at sender and private key which is known only to receiver for decrypting the encrypted message. Asymmetric algorithms are more secure and difficult, to decrypt the message unless hacker acquires the knowledge of private key. A new Asymmetric algorithm with Error Detection and Correction mechanism is proposed that can reduce hardware, and improves decryption time and security. Proposed Asymmetric algorithm uses the few properties of: RSA, Diffie-Hellman and ElGamal Algorithms. Performance of asymmetric algorithms is compared with proposed algorithm, which is designed using Verilog HDL. Algorithms are synthesized, simulated, implemented using Vivado and targeted for Artix-7 XC7A100T-1CSG324Carchitecture.Chipscope Pro logic analyzer-Virtual Input Output core is binded to design for hardware debugging, to monitor and capture the output signals at selected specified state by applying random input stimuli at runtime in Nexys4 DDR FPGA Board.

Cloud computing is a model which helps in accessing the end-users interface which is adjustable as well as flexible service on Internet. The primary aim implemented scheme is for maximizing utilization of resource. It also offers a load which is good balanced compared to the all other resources in the servers of cloud. Some fundamental characteristics like usage of memory, process time, rate of the access, a resource load model can be deliver, by considering the load index which is new, present load computed to the virtual machine cloud server shared resources. If a load index calculated to the resources then initiation of balancing load for efficient utilization of resources. After all resources load index computed, the load balancing operation started to use the resources effectively by assigned resources processing for respective node for decreasing values of the load. The assignment of the resources to the nodes which are proper will become a problem i.e. optimal distribution. For this huge number of optimised schemes like algorithm of genetic, algorithm of modified genetic will be used to balance the load. But all these are may not be effective to offer best solutions. Because, the exploration issues are not overcome in these approaches. However, we can say that procedure of efficient optimisation is good for balancing load compared to others. Therefore, we implemented a new scheme for optimisation approach which is known as firefly algorithm for balancing the load. Initially the index table updated with the help of available virtual servers as well as request sequence. After that, based on new formulae, the load index will be calculated. The bal-ance of the load can be done with the help of load index using the algorithm of firefly. The results which are expected can be gathered and the implemented algorithm is efficient to balance the load in optimised time intervals.

Published: April 2019

Extensive need regarding research and development of new techniques regarding transmission conductor de-icing is observed with the current methods available, are highly unsustainable to rely on as they are risky not only to the power system stability but also the lives of people and operations in the load area. This paper holds a technique and an idea for ice removal mechanism of transmission line that could be easily implemented, mass produced and works autonomously along with review on current methods. A robot for every span of transmission line which is self-sustained and completely autonomous to de-ice the transmission line with extremely cost efficient is objective being for this paper. Prototype model, working for dummy transmission system (without ice) shows good results for being applied to an original transmission line. De-icing here is obtained by applying constant friction on the transmission conductor which apparently does not cause damage to health and wear of the conductor. All the considerable measurements for that span of electrical system are tired to be met while designing. The performance approach is evaluated through practical simulation of a likely prototype which is subjected to be real.

Tourism trend and network analysis utilizing big data on social media
Authors: Woo Choi Jae , YoungKim Hye
Published: April 2019

Background/Objectives: With evolving trends, tourism is also experiencing more diverse policies and methods of promotion. In particular, with the development and increasing popularity of social media platforms, a new trend is setting in. In line with such changes, the current study sets out to utilize big data on social media platforms to analyze trends in tourism, ways in which tourism elements mutually interact, and analyze patterns, in order to propose tourism promotion strategies and provide related basic data.Methods/Statistical analysis: Analysis on social media platforms were conducted to visually express relationship among nodes and analyze the structure and status of link in quantitative terms. NodeXL is an add-in program to Microsoft Excel; it allows the user to directly collect data from social media platforms to execute matrics, statistics, and visualization. The data was collected from Korea Tourism Organization (KTO)’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. Hashtags (#) on 3,200 posts on the Twitter account were analyzed to compute the tourism trend, and the inter-node interactions and links on the Facebook fan pages were analyzed in terms of network density and centrality to calculate the form and characteristics of social media networks.Findings: By analyzing social media pages that represent promotional efforts for Korean tourism, we were able to find the following results: On the KTO Twitter account, the higher hashtag terms were “eating tour,” and “exciting travel,” which follow the recent tourism trends. However, because of platform restrictions, the Twitter account, rather than engaging in mutual interactions with its users, only tended to deliver information, and was unable to reflect more diverse tourism trends. On Facebook, 348 nodes were actively linked 14.99 times on average, indicating a healthy level of activity. Average degrees of connection was 2.214, which is smaller than average connection distance of small societies, indicating efficient mutual interaction. There were three core user groups, with eleven individuals serving as media nodes, and six users with Eigenvector centrality.Improvements/Applications: Tourism promotion must be executed in line with diverse and latest trends in the field. Because Facebook has a higher level of mutual interaction than Twitter, the account holder can maximize the promotional effects by utilizing individuals that serve as the centrality node. That is to say that promotional strategies that take into account the characteristics of individual social media platform are required.

This paper presents the optimization process of Central Pattern Generator (CPG) controller for one legged hopping robot by using Genetic Algorithm (GA). To control the one legged hopping robot, a CPG controller is designed and integrated with a conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. Conventionally, the CPG parameters are tuned manually. But by using this method, the parameters produced are not exactly the optimum parameters for the CPG. Therefore, a computational stochastic optimization method; GA is designed to optimize the CPG controller parameters. The GA is designed based on minimizing the error produced towards achieving the reference height. The re-sponse of the one legged hopping robot is compared and the results of the error towards reference height are analyzed.

Communication involves exchange of data between sender and receiver. The data exchange complexity reduce with wireless data transmission. Conventionally radio signals use for wireless data transmission. The radio frequency limited band width and requirement of new hardware installation make LIFI an optimal solution for wireless data transmission. Since the existing LEDs can be used for data transmission. Recent trends in LiFi have made it possible to transmit data at THz frequency. However, the LiFi signals easily degrade due to surrounding environment noise. In this paper, we propose to reconstruct and eliminate noise in LiFi signal. Wave coefficient block apply for noise level estimation and filter banks use to reconstruct original message signal.

In this paper we attempt to speak to a novel way to deal with single-picture super-determination, established on inadequate flag representation. Investigation on picture estimations prescribes that picture covers can be very much portrayed as a scanty straight amalgamation of basics from a reasonably favored over entire word reference. Roused by this examination, we seek after a meager show for each fix of the low-determination input, and earlier utilize the estimations of this exhibit to induce the high-determination profitability. Theoretic results from compacted recognizing prescribe that under gentle conditions, the meager show can be fittingly enhanced from the down tested signals.We utilize nearby sub-word references to adaptively code picture covers, which can represent picture neighborhood gatherings improved and affirm the sparsity belonging of the picture. Moreover, we rehearse portion weakening to describe HR and LR coding amounts to internment and guide the crucial non-direct association among them. Such speaking to is of focal noticeable quality in the picture SR risky, for the reason that high-arrange estimations assume a considerable part in the modifying of the detail setup of a HR picture.

This paper focuses on laboratory investigation to establish the mechanical properties of High Performance Concrete (HPC) of grade M60 with addition of treated cocos nucifera fiber (CNF) together with silica fume (SF) and pulverised fuel ash (PFA). There are 3 diverse mix designs of CNF strengthened concrete (CNFRC) were prepared accordingly. Foremost CNFRC deprived of any additive, subsequent CNFRC made by 10% replacement of cement mass with PFA, followed by arrangement of 10% of ordinary cement (by weight) was supplanted with SF. For respective mix design, CNF was included in the mix 0.5% from the total volume. Test results had indicated that by adding CNF lead to 3% decrease in axial compressive strength of the HPC which was due to dropping the quality of compaction. Through the axial compression test performed, the strength of CNFRC PFAC was about 8% greater associated to the control specimen as PFA by means of its globular element form. Moreover, the inclusion of fiber in the mix had develops the strength under flexure load of CNFRC, CNFRC SFC, CNFRC PFAC by about 10%, 8%, and 25% correspondingly.

Biomechanical characteristics of the rabbit cartilage component from the femur were investigated. The control osteoporosis had been activated by ovariectomy alongside the injections of methylprednisolone. During the experiment defects in the femur’s greater trochanter zone was created and afterwards filled with the fragments of a hydroxyapatite as well as tricalcium phosphate (HAP/TCP 70/30) or HAP/TCP 70/30 mixed with five percent strontium. Three months later animals were euthanazed, squared samples were cut out from the femur’s body and later tested on a bend. The results of the research revealed that the femurs become more stringent after filling off defects in the greater trochanter zone with HAP/TCP 70/30 or HAP/TCP 70/30 mixed with five percent strontium. The ultimate pain for the cartilage component in the control groups was less, than in the test group. The flexure modulus of flexibility of a cartilage component in the test group was statistically reliable less, than the value of the flexure modulus of flexibility of the cartilage component in the control groups.  Therefore, local usage of calcium – phosphatic bioceramic component over the greater trochanter part increases biomechanical characteristics of the cartilage component in the femur of animals.

The Polysomnography (PSG) is the most commonly used test in the diagnosis of OSAS – Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. PSG signals consist of simultaneous recording of multiple physiological parameters related to sleep and wakefulness. PSG is used to evaluate abnormalities of sleep and or wakefulness and other physiological disorders that have an impact on or related to sleep and or wakefulness. In this paper, we propped an idea of detection of insomnia based on frequency spectral analysis of PSG signals. The PSG signals consist of EMG of the chin, EEG taken from various lobes, respiratory signal, EOG signals, Temporary rectal signal and ECG signal. From all these physiological parameters, the Spectral analysis of EOG (horizontal), EEG FPZ-CZ and PZ-OZ [EEG 10-20 electrodes paced on midline FPZ,CZ,OZ channels]signals are analyzed and the mean, variance, standard deviation, RMS value and SNR features of the signal are extracted. The proposed methodology is applied to the male as well as female subjects at the age group of 30-40 years. The difference of the frequency range taken at respective intervals of time is noted and compared.
