Analysis and Simulation of Hybrid Energy Storage System for Electric Vehicle
Authors: Ravikant K. Nanwatkar  , Dr. Deepak S. Watvisave
Published: July 2022

The continuous increase in demand of efficient energy storage for automobile sector and with controlling mechanism to rise in environmental issues leads to adoption of hybrid energy storage system. This hybridization can be battery and internal combustion engine or battery with supercapacitor to meet the energy and power requirement demands. Electric mobility deals with use of electric energy in automobile sector but problem lies in using pure electric battery-based vehicle are less power density at higher torque requirement as well thermal runaway for longer run. Many renewable energy sources like wind, wave and solar energy which can be used to generate electricity for charging electric vehicle batteries. Some conventional batteries like lead acid have drawbacks of increased in weight and size optimization for efficient energy storage system. Also, by using hybridization of internal combustion engine with battery, still dependency on petroleum fuel and its environmental effects will not be controlled. Therefore, selecting option of hybrid energy storage system of lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor can be an efficient option to meet the requirement of energy and power during working cycle. The structural design of battery and supercapacitor hybrid system consists of high-capacity battery-type electrode and a high-rate capacitive electrode; its proper design will provide improvement in performance, reduction in cost, safer working conditions and environmental friendliness. The proposed work basically focuses on hybrid energy storage system for light vehicle. A comparative analysis of various hybridization is studied in this paper with case study involving simulation using MATLAB / Simulink software. Main idea in this work is use of convertor to be worked as a controlled energy system for maintaining the high voltage of the supercapacitor when it exceeds the battery voltage for at most of driving conditions. At smooth running conditions battery will provide the necessary amount of energy to propel the vehicle, when requirement of power density is less and energy density is more. At starting phase and inclination road when power requirement is more compared to energy density supercapacitor will work. This system will increase the life of the battery and reduction in weight of vehicle as the batteries are sized to ensure many constraints like start up, acceleration, braking and energy recovery.

Published: July 2022

La digitalización de la sociedad actual plantea un desafío en torno a los derechos de los menores. El acceso a internet se ha convertido en una oportunidad en muchos aspectos, pero también en un peligro real en el que el menor queda desprotegido y se ven mermados sus derechos. El denominado "entorno digital" en la actualidad ocupa gran parte de la actividad tanto educativa como lúdica de los menores, y es preciso articular una serie de garantías, y también unos derechos adecuados a dicho entorno para evitar situaciones de abuso e infracción. A través de la distinta legislación aplicable, observaremos cuáles son las garantías que se otorgan por parte del legislador para evitar una desprotección del menor, y realizar algunas propuestas de mejora que puedan ser de utilidad en el futuro para incrementar dicha protección y garantía de los derechos en el entorno digital

Medicalização na infância: disciplinamento, controle e punição
Authors: Christofari Ana Carolina
Published: July 2022

Este artigo objetiva analisar os discursos produzidos nos registros de crianças com deficiência que frequentam a Sala Multimeios da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Florianópolis. A leitura e análise da documentação pedagógica compilada pela Sala Multimeios ocorreram com idas semanais à escola realizando um trabalho contínuo em relação ao material produzido e armazenado nesse espaço. A análise do discurso teve base nos estudos de Foucault considerando as singularidades e condições de existência dos enunciados. Três eixos analíticos revelam a medicalização em ação:  Diagnóstico via laudo médico, Presença no laudo de indicações de práticas pedagógicas à instituição e queixa de condutas das crianças consideradas incompatíveis com sua faixa etária. Os resultados evidenciam a falta de informações pedagógicas em relação ao processo de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento das crianças. Há prevalência dos discursos médicos enfatizando a perspectiva médico-clínica de aprendizagem fortalecendo uma visão biologicista e patologizante produzindo barreiras ao desenvolvimento infantil como potência criativa e em constante transformação.

Priming Upper Extremity Motor Practice With Aerobic Exercise (PUMP-Ex): A Preliminary Report on Feasibility and Efficacy
Authors: Hart Emerson , Woodbury Michelle L. , Williams Ewan , Gregory Chris M. , Ross Ryan
Published: July 2022

Date Presented 04/02/2022

Stroke often leaves survivors with lasting upper extremity (UE) motor impairments. To influence recovery, the brain must be plastic, or moldable, to allow change, and rehabilitation must be individualized and progressive to encourage change. Aerobic exercise can affect neuroplasticity, allowing subsequent UE intervention to have greater effects. Priming UE rehabilitation methods with aerobic exercise may result in improved upper extremity function and greater overall recovery.
