Monitoring Sand Drift Potential and Sand Dune Mobility over the Last Three Decades (Khartouran Erg, Sabzevar, NE Iran)
Authors: Rahdari Mohammad Reza , Rodríguez-Seijo Andrés
Published: August 2021

Aeolian sediments cover about 6% of the earth’s surface, of which 97% occur in arid regions, and these sediments cover about 20% of the world’s lands. Sand drifts can harm sensitive ecosystems; therefore, this research has aimed to study wind regimes and the monitoring of sand drift potential and dune mobility in the Khartouran Erg (NE Iran). The study investigated 30 years of wind speed and direction to better understand sand dune mobility processes using the Fryberger and Tsoar methods. The results of the wind regime study showed that the eastern (33.4%) and northeastern (14.3%) directions were more frequent, but the study of winds greater than the threshold (6 m/s) in winter, spring, and autumn indicated the dominance of eastern and northern wind directions. Findings of calm winds showed that winters (40.4%) had the highest frequency, and summers (15%) had the lowest frequency; the annual frequency was 30%. The average wind speed in summers was the highest (4.38 m/s), and, in the winters, it was the lowest (2.28 m/s); the annual average wind speed was 3.3 m/s. The annual drift potential (DP = 173 VU) showed that it was categorized as low class, and the winds carried sand to the southwest. The monitoring of drift potential showed that there was a sharp increase between 2003 and 2008, which could have been attributed to a change in wind speeds in the region. Unite directional index, the index of directional variability, has been alternating from 0.3 to 0.6 for 30 years. Furthermore, monitoring of sand mobility recorded a value from 0.1 to 0.4, and the lowest and highest values were registered from 0.08 to 0.9, with an average of 0.27. Finally, it can be concluded that sand dunes have been fixed for a long time, and the intensity of the mobility index is affected by climate changes.

Published: August 2021

Inuit communities in Canada are overwhelmingly dependent on expensive and polluting local diesel-powered generators for electricity production. This article seeks to understand the legal and political obstacles relative to the development of renewable energy in Nunavik, Québec’s Inuit territory. After an analysis of the legal regimes, political configurations, and policies affecting energy production in Nunavik, we present two case studies of renewable energy projects in the communities of Kuujjuaq and Inukjuak. This allows us to demonstrate that the development of alternative energy projects is not only determined by technical and economic issues but is also inseparable from the asymmetrical post-colonial power relations between Quebec institutions and the Inuit people. Our results not only illustrate the value of community ownership and leadership for sustainable northern development but also the ambiguous attitude of public authorities regarding the political and financial support for such projects.

Published: August 2021

Plants produce several chemically diverse bioactive substances that may influence the growth and development of other organisms when released into the environment in a phenomenon called allelopathy. Several of these allelopathic species also have reported medicinal properties. In this study, the potential allelopathic effects of more than a hundred medicinal plants from Cambodia were tested using the dish pack method. The dish pack bioassay method specifically targets volatile allelochemicals. Twenty-five species were found to have significant inhibitory effects on lettuce radicle growth. Eleven different plant families, including Iridaceae (2), Apocynaceae (2), Poaceae (2), Sapindaceae, Araceae, Combretaceae, Orchidaceae, Clusiaceae, Zingiberaceae, Rutaceae and Asparagaceae had the plant species with high inhibitory effects. Allophyllus serrulatus had the highest growth inhibitory effect on lettuce radicles more than 60%, followed by Alocasia macrorrhiza, Iris pallida, Terminalia triptera, Wrightia tomentosa, Cymbidium aloifolium, Garcinia villersiana and Kaempferia parviflora. The candidate species were subjected to further studies to identify the volatile allelochemicals in the volatile constituents.

Published: August 2021

Due to its high greenhouse effect, the use of SF6 as the main insulating gas is restricted in the electric power field. Along with the aim of environmental protection, the search for new alternative gases with a lower greenhouse effect and higher insulation strength has received a lot of attention. The properties of alternative gases have a vital impact on the performance of medium-voltage power distribution equipment. Firstly, based on the existing liquefaction temperatures of SF6/N2, SF6/CO2, and SF6/CF4, the calculated liquefaction temperatures were expanded to 0.7 MPa. Combining the Antoine vapor-pressure equation and the basic law of vapor–liquid balance, the vapor pressures of SF6/N2, CF3I/N2, c-C4F8/N2, C4-PFN/N2, C4-PFN/CO2, and C5-PFK/CO2 were obtained. Secondly, the critical breakdown field strength was analyzed for C4-PFN/CO2, C5-PFK/CO2, SF6, CF3I/N2, C5-PFK/Air, and c-C4F8/N2. Finally, the GWPs of SF6/N2, C4-PFN/N2, C4-PFN/CO2, C5-PFK/CO2, and C5-PFK/N2 were discussed. The results show that the liquefaction temperature gradually decreases as the pressure rises; SF6/N2 has the highest vapor pressure at −5 °C; the critical breakdown field strengths of several mixtures are higher than that of SF6.

Published: August 2021

The construction of healthy transportation is an important ingredient for promoting the healthy development of cities. The establishment of an urban traffic evaluation mechanism can provide an important basis for the construction of healthy transportation. This study focused on the impact of precipitation on traffic speed and developed an urban traffic vulnerability index. This index reflects the degree of traffic affected by precipitation, which is calculated based on the traffic congestion index under different rainfall intensities. The traffic vulnerability indices of 41 major cities in China under rainfall conditions were evaluated. Based on the above traffic vulnerability indexes, the impact of socioeconomic factors on urban traffic vulnerability was analyzed. The three key findings of this study are as follows: there was a positive correlation between the vulnerability index and the gross domestic product (GDP); the urban population (POP) had a significant impact on the urban traffic vulnerability; and urban car ownership had little impact on traffic vulnerability. Based on these findings, possible measures to improve urban traffic vulnerability are proposed. The construction of an index system provides a basis for enhancing the urban traffic assessment mechanism, promoting the development of urban physical examinations and building healthy transportation and healthy cities.

Published: August 2021

Despite many initiatives to reframe and support inclusion for people with disabilities, people with intellectual disabilities continue to experience social exclusion in their local communities. This study shares the perspectives of people with an intellectual disability on what matters to them in their local communities. This study aims to inform local governments of the value of engaging with and listening to local people with intellectual disabilities and is an important exploration of how the social sustainability of cities is framed and valued by people who have historically been socially and geographically excluded. Focus groups and interviews were conducted in six local government areas, with a mix of metropolitan and regional areas, in two states of Australia—NSW and Victoria. The study analysed how 45 Australian adults with intellectual disabilities described their local communities and conceptualised better inclusion. The results were collated and organised by applying an adapted framework of inclusive cities. The participants expressed the need for safe, accessible and clean public amenities; accessible information; appropriate communication; and for people to be more respectful, friendly and understanding of the needs of people with intellectual disabilities. This study suggests that local governments can take action in order to improve social sustainability by engaging with local people with intellectual disabilities as citizens, advisors and employees, and by educating the wider community about respect and social inclusion for all.

Published: August 2021

The present study aims to improve biomass and biochemical constituents, especially lipid production of Anabaena variabilis and Nostoc muscorum by formulating an optimal growth condition using various concentrations of nutrients (NO3−, PO43− and CO32−) for biodiesel production. The supplementation of the three nutrients by +50% showed the maximum dry weight and biomass productivity, while the macromolecule contents were varied. The depletion of N-NO3− by 50% N-NO3− showed the maximum lipid yield (146.67 mg L−1) in A. variabilis and the maximum carbohydrate contents (285.33 mg L−1) in N. muscorum with an increase of 35% and 30% over control of the synthetic medium, respectively. However, variation in P-PO43− and C-CO32− showed insignificant improving results for all biochemical compositions in both cyanobacteria. A. variabilis was the superior species for lipid and protein accumulation; however, N. muscorum showed the maximum carbohydrate content. Accordingly, A. variabilis was selected for biodiesel production. In A. variabilis, −50% N-NO3− resulted in 35% higher lipid productivity compared to the control. Furthermore, the fatty acid profile and biodiesel quality-related parameters have improved under this condition. This study has revealed the strategies to improve A. variabilis lipid productivity for biodiesel production for small-scale in vitro application in terms of fuel quality under low nitrate levels.
Highway Deceleration Lane Safety: Effects of Real-Time Coaching Programs on Driving Behavior
Authors: Orsini Federico , Tagliabue Mariaelena , De Cet Giulia , Gastaldi Massimiliano , Rossi Riccardo
Published: August 2021

Real-time coaching programs are designed to give feedback on driving behavior to usage-based motor insurance users; they are often general purpose programs that aim to promote smooth driving. Here, we investigated the effect of different on-board real-time coaching programs on the driving behavior on highway deceleration lanes with a driving simulator experiment. The experiment was organized into two trials. The first was a baseline trial, in which participants drove without receiving any feedback; a cluster analysis was then performed to divide participants into two groups, based on their observed driving style. One month later, a second trial was carried out, with participants driving on the same path as the first trial, this time receiving contingent feedback related to their braking/acceleration behavior. Four feedback systems were tested; overall, there were eight experimental groups, depending on the clustered driving style (aggressive and defensive), feedback modality (visual and auditory), and feedback valence (positive and negative). Speed, deceleration, trajectory, and lateral control variables, collected before and onto the deceleration lane, were investigated with mixed ANOVAs, which showed that the real-time coaching programs significantly reduced speeds and maximum deceleration values, while improving lateral control. A change toward a safer exit strategy (i.e., entering the lane before starting to decelerate) was also observed in defensive drivers.

Authors: Koçak Orhan , İlme Emine , Younis Mustafa Z.
Published: August 2021

The increasing use of social media due to various individual and social reasons may trigger some psycho-social issues. What can be effective in reducing social media addiction, which causes social and economic problems, is an important issue today. This study aimed to investigate the mediation effect of satisfaction with life in the impact of self-esteem and education level on social media addiction in individuals. The study was designed as cross-sectional, and the sample consists of 952 volunteers over the age of 15 using social media in Turkey. A personal information form, the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed with SPSS 23.0 Program and PROCESS macro plug-in. Demographic questions such as age, gender, and marriage were used as control variables. As a result of the research, it was determined that satisfaction with life had a mediation role in the effect of self-esteem and education level on social media addiction. Self-esteem and education level improved satisfaction with life, and increased satisfaction with life resulted in less social media addiction. These results demonstrate the importance of implementing specific practices based on self-esteem and education, especially for vulnerable groups, to minimize the problems that may arise with the excessive use of digital apps and social media.

Authors: Reutova Olga , Belokoneva Elena , Volkov Anatoly , Dimitrova Olga
Published: August 2021

Single crystals of new non-centrosymmetric iodate Ba(IO3)OH are synthesized hydrothermally and structurally investigated. OD topology-symmetry analysis of layers and their alternation led to conclusions about the similarity with the Bi(IO3)O nonlinear-optical crystal. Both structures are members of a general family with differences in structures and properties. AgBi(IO3)4 and AgBi(SO4)(IO3)2 belong to another family with the two types of layers giving different local symmetry. The properties are estimated semi-quantitatively based on structural data. Such an approach is new and promising. Hypothetical structural variants are predicted.
Path Planning of AS/RS Based on Cost Matrix and Improved Greedy Algorithm
Authors: Li Dongdong , Wang Lei , Geng Sai , Jiang Benchi
Published: August 2021

Logistics plays an important role in the field of global economy, and the storage and retrieval of tasks in a warehouse which has symmetry is the most important part of logistics. Generally, the shelves of a warehouse have a certain degree of symmetry and similarity in their structure. The storage and retrieval efficiency directly affects the efficiency of logistics. The efficiency of the traditional storage and retrieval mode has become increasingly inconsistent with the needs of the industry. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a greedy algorithm based on cost matrix to solve the path planning problem of the automatic storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). Firstly, aiming at the path planning mathematical model of AS/RS, this paper proposes the concept of cost matrix, which transforms the traditional storage and retrieval problem into the element combination problem of cost matrix. Then, a more efficient backtracking algorithm is proposed based on the exhaustive method. After analyzing the performance of the backtracking algorithm, combined with some rules, a greedy algorithm which can further improve efficiency is proposed; the convergence of the improved greedy algorithm is also proven. Finally, through simulation, the time consumption of the greedy algorithm is only 0.59% of the exhaustive method, and compared with the traditional genetic algorithm, the time consumption of the greedy algorithm is about 50% of the genetic algorithm, and it can still maintain its advantage in time consumption, which proves that the greedy algorithm based on cost matrix has a certain feasibility and practicability in solving the path planning of the automatic storage and retrieval system.

Published: August 2021

Symmetry plays an essential role in determining the correct methods for the oscillatory properties of solutions to differential equations. This paper examines some new oscillation criteria for unbounded solutions of third-order neutral differential equations of the form (r2(ς)((r1(ς)(z′(ς))β1)′)β2)′ + ∑i=1nqi(ς)xβ3(ϕi(ς))=0. New oscillation results are established by using generalized Riccati substitution, an integral average technique in the case of unbounded neutral coefficients. Examples are given to prove the significance of new theorems.

Authors: Hunter Ruth F. , Cleland Claire L. , Kee Frank , Longo Alberto , Murtagh Brendan , Barry John , McKeown Gary , Garcia Leandro
Published: August 2021

Reducing car dependency requires orchestrated multi-sectoral, multi-policy action in a complex landscape. Thus, development of proposed interventions to reduce car dependency should be informed by systems thinking, complexity science, and socio-technical transition theory. We aim to co-design sustainable systems-oriented intervention approaches to reduce car dependency in Belfast. The study includes seven integrated tasks—1: Map stakeholders and partnerships influencing car dependency using stakeholder network analysis; 2: A review of systematic reviews regarding interventions to reduce car dependency; 3: Map-related policies via analysis of policy documents and semi-structured interviews; 4: A participatory group model building workshop to co-produce a shared understanding of the complex system perpetuating car dependency and a transition vision; 5: Using Discrete Choice Experiments, survey road users to evaluate the importance of transport infrastructure attributes on car dependency and on alternative modes of travel; 6: Citizen juries will ‘sense-check’ possible actions; and, 7: Stakeholders will interpret the findings, plan orchestrated multi-sectoral action, and agree on ways to sustain collaborations towards the common vision of reducing car dependency. We expect to attain a systemic view of the car dependency issue, potential intervention approaches to reduce it, and a framework for their integration through the co-ordination of stakeholder actions.
The Hubble Tension, the M Crisis of Late Time H(z) Deformation Models and the Reconstruction of Quintessence Lagrangians
Authors: Theodoropoulos Anastasios , Perivolaropoulos Leandros
Published: August 2021

We present a detailed and pedagogical analysis of recent cosmological data, including CMB, BAO, SnIa and the recent local measurement of H0. We thus obtain constraints on the parameters of these standard dark energy parameterizations, including ΛCDM, and H(z) deformation models such as wCDM (constant equation of state w of dark energy), and the CPL model (corresponding to the evolving dark energy equation-of-state parameter w(z)=w0+waz1+z). The fitted parameters include the dark matter density Ω0m, the SnIa absolute magnitude M, the Hubble constant H0 and the dark energy parameters (e.g., w for wCDM). All models considered lead to a best-fit value of M that is inconsistent with the locally determined value obtained by Cepheid calibrators (M tension). We then use the best-fit dark energy parameters to reconstruct the quintessence Lagrangian that would be able to reproduce these best-fit parameterizations. Due to the derived late phantom behavior of the best-fit dark energy equation-of-state parameter w(z), the reconstructed quintessence models have a negative kinetic term and are therefore plagued with instabilities.
Vaccine Design and Vaccination Strategies against Rickettsiae
Authors: Osterloh Anke
Published: August 2021

Rickettsioses are febrile, potentially lethal infectious diseases that are a serious health threat, especially in poor income countries. The causative agents are small obligate intracellular bacteria, rickettsiae. Rickettsial infections are emerging worldwide with increasing incidence and geographic distribution. Nonetheless, these infections are clearly underdiagnosed because methods of diagnosis are still limited and often not available. Another problem is that the bacteria respond to only a few antibiotics, so delayed or wrong antibiotic treatment often leads to a more severe outcome of the disease. In addition to that, the development of antibiotic resistance is a serious threat because alternative antibiotics are missing. For these reasons, prophylactic vaccines against rickettsiae are urgently needed. In the past years, knowledge about protective immunity against rickettsiae and immunogenic determinants has been increasing and provides a basis for vaccine development against these bacterial pathogens. This review provides an overview of experimental vaccination approaches against rickettsial infections and perspectives on vaccination strategies.

Published: August 2021

UVs are important ingredients in common cosmetic products (e.g., sunscreens, hairsprays, soap). After their use, they can enter the aquatic ecosystem and negatively affect non-target aquatic organisms. The aim of our study was to evaluate acute embryotoxicity of selected organic UVs 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBSA), ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC), octocrylene (OC), 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) and benzophenone-3 (BP-3). The chemicals were tested both as a single substance and their mixtures. The types of mixtures were chosen as follows: the combination of OC and 4-MBC; the combination of PBSA, EHMC and BP-3 and the combination of all five UV filters. The embryotoxicity was evaluated using a modified method of the Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity Test-OECD guideline 236 and zebrafish (Danio rerio) was selected as a suitable fish model organism. The toxic effects were studied by assessing mortality, hatching and the occurrence of malformations at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h post fertilization. The obtained results indicate that especially the mixture of OC and 4-MBC presents a potential risk of embryotoxicity for zebrafish due to a significant increase in mortality, which was 41.7% in the experimental group exposed to 10 μg/L at 96 h post fertilization. Based on our results, the most effected sub-lethal endpoints were hatching and malformation (e.g., edema of pericard, bent spine, yolk edema), but with no statistically significant effect. These results differ within groups with single UVs and with their mixtures, suggesting the interaction of these substances when they are exposed together.

THEORETICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS OF HEATING THE GAS-AIR MIXTURE IN THE BODY OF THE BURNER WITH A THERMAL DIVIDER
Authors: Ramazanov R. , Suslov D. , Kuschev L. , Seminenko A. , Uvarov Valerij
Published: August 2021

The main thermal processes occurring during the operation of a gas burner device for household use are considered. One of the important functions performed by the gas burner device is the preparation of fuel for subsequent combustion. The efficiency and quality of the combustion process directly depends on the temperature of the gas-air mixture. Since an increase in the temperature of the mixture contributes to the intensification of the combustion process, when designing gas burner devices, it is useful to determine the temperature of the gas-air mixture inside the burner body. We have proposed a solution that makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the gas burner device by intensifying the preheating from the thermal divider to the gas-air mixture inside the body of the gas burner. It has been established that the placement of the thermal divider in the central part on the inner side of the cover allows one to reduce the stagnant zone area when the flow of the gas-air mixture moves, and the conical shape of the thermal divider provides minimal resistance to the movement of the gas-air mixture flow inside the gas burner, in addition, the side surface of the thermal divider additionally increases the area heat transfer. An expression is obtained for calculating the average temperature of the gas-air mixture at the outlet from the firing holes of the gas burner.

Authors: Bredikhina A.
Published: August 2021

The types of historical shops of St. Petersburg are considered. Prototypes of the first small stores have been identified. The main periods of their development are investigated and the differences from other similar types of commercial buildings (department stores and markets) are indicated. The classification of historical stores has been developed in several directions: specialization (grocery, shoe and clothing stores, etc.), space-planning organization (individual buildings, shop windows, units of blocked buildings) and style directions (eclecticism, modernism, neoclassicism). Based on the developed classifications, options for modern adaptation and use are considered. The main problems of the modern existence of stores and the ways to solve them are identified. Domestic and foreign experience of adaptation is considered and analyzed. Examples of the most interesting and varied solutions for the modern use of historic stores are given. Conclusions are made about the relevance of the use of the buildings and premises under consideration. The main approaches to the renovation of stores have been developed, taking into account the object of conservation (the interior of the store, its specialization, the facade, the nature of the window decoration, their various combinations, the complex formation of the appearance of the shopping street). Recommendations are given on the selection of a modern function depending on the type of object. The historical and cultural value of historical stores of various types and the need for their preservation are proved.

′′Antes da ordem do dia′′: A revolução na Assembleia Constituinte
Authors: Rezola Maria Inácia
Published: August 2021

As eleições para a Assembleia Constituinte (25 de Abril de 1975) são um marco central na história da construção da democracia em Portugal. Celebradas exactamente um ano após o derrube da ditadura e da restauração das liberdades fundamentais, num momento em que a Revolução acelerava o seu passo, estas eleições contaram com uma amplíssima participação (votaram 91% dos recenseados) que deixou patente a importância que lhes era conferida enquanto fonte de legitimação do poder. O ambiente que rodeou a abertura da Constituinte foi tenso. Contestada pelos sectores radicais, que nela viam um símbolo da democracia burguesa, a sua actividade foi ameaçada desde os primeiros momentos. Paralelamente, outros factores condicionaram a sua capacidade de intervenção. Recorde-se, a este respeito, que a Plataforma de Acordo Constitucional (“Pacto MFA-Partidos”), firmada entre o MFA e os partidos políticos a 11 de Abril de 1975, não apenas determinava alguns dos princípios que deveriam ser consagrados no futuro texto constitucional, como dava ao poder militar as garantias de que, independentemente do resultado das eleições, a condução da vida política era da responsabilidade do Conselho da Revolução. À Assembleia Constituinte era reservada apenas a missão de elaborar o texto constitucional. Com este artigo propomo-nos analisar os debates ocorridos no período antes da ordem do dia, no decurso do Verão Quente de 1975, para aferir em que medida os temas da actualidade política integraram e condicionaram a agenda de trabalho parlamentar. Partindo da tese de que a Constituinte foi palco de intensas disputas, reflexo da luta mais ampla que percorria o país, propomo-nos dar voz aos constituintes e percepcionar o seu envolvimento na crise político-militar então vivida.

Abstract Purpose: The impact of democracy on economic growth is an interesting study of economic institutions and there is still debate about the impact on economic growth. One side of the research finds that democracy has a significant and positive impact on economic growth, but the other side states that the improvement of the country's democracy causes economic growth to decline. This study aims to examine the impact of the quality of democracy on economic growth at the provincial level in Indonesia. Research methodology: The data used in this study use panel data using the Eviews 9.0 analysis tool, so that the best method named the Random Effect Model is obtained. Result: The results show that democracy in Indonesia has a significant impact on economic growth and there is a positive trend in the long run. Other variables used are labor and foreign investment, which statistically, if these variables occur, can increase economic growth in Indonesia and increase employment and data on foreign investment play a role in driving economic growth. Economic growth in Indonesia is already in good condition and the economic growth that occurs is convergence growth which shows that some provinces that are poor/underdeveloped can catch up with developed provinces. Limitations: This study uses fairly short time-series data, so that the addition of a longer time-series will of course give better results. Contribution: Improvements in democracy in Indonesia should also strengthen democratic norms that apply in society, such as reducing corrupt behaviors, especially political corruption and money politics to get public office because if this behavior cannot be corrected, then democracy will have little impact on the economy.

the fourth and most pervasive state of matter in the visible universe, is a
fascinating medium that is connected to the beginning of our universe itself.
Man-made plasmas are at the core of many technological advances that include
the fabrication of semiconductor devices, which enabled the modern computer and
communication revolutions. The introduction of low temperature, atmospheric
pressure plasmas to the biomedical field has ushered a new revolution in the
healthcare arena that promises to introduce plasma-based therapies to combat
some thorny and long-standing medical challenges. This paper presents an
overview of where research is at today and discusses innovative concepts and
approaches to overcome present challenges and take the field to the next level.
It is written by a team of experts who took an in-depth look at the various

A Comprehensive Review of Indoor/Outdoor Localization Solutions in IoT era: Research Challenges and Future Perspectives
Authors: Maghdid Safar M. , maghdid halgurd
Published: August 2021

The number of connected mobile
devices and Internet of Things (IoT) is growing around us, rapidly. Since, most
of the people daily activities are relying on these connected things or
devices. Specifically, this past year (with COVID-19) changed daily life in
abroad and this is increased the use of IoT enabled technologies in health
sector, work, and play. Further, the most common service via using these
technologies is the localization/positioning service for different applications
including: geo-tagging, billing, contact tracing, health-care system,
point-of-interest recommendations, social networking, security, and more. Despite the availability of a large number of
localization solutions in the literature, the precision of localization cannot
meet the needs of consumers. For that reason, this paper provides an in-depth
investigation of the existing technologies and techniques in the localization
field, within the IoT era. Furthermore, the benefits and drawbacks of each
technique with enabled technologies are illustrated and a comparison between the
utilized technologies in the localization is made. The paper as a guideline is
also going through all of the metrics that may be used to assess the
localization solutions. Finally, the state-of-the-art solutions are examined,
with challenges and perspectives regarding indoors/outdoors environments are
demonstrated.

Published: August 2021

A educação tem se constituído um espaço fértil à disseminação do discurso hegemônico, objetivando a evolução do ensino à lógica de mercado. Neste artigo, discutimos a composição da rede de práticas do Pacto pela Educação no Pará (PEP) e como o discurso hegemônico é incorporado aos processos educacionais e nas vozes dos professores de Sociologia em Marabá. Constituíram-se como métodos: análise bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo. A análise bibliográfica nos direcionou à Análise do Discurso Crítica (ADC), elaborada por Norman Fairclough. Os dados foram coletados mediante aplicação de survey junto a professores da disciplina de Sociologia nas escolas públicas de ensino médio. O resultado evidencia que os enunciados dos professores reproduzem a associação entre as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação e aprendizagem, tal qual são produzidos na rede de práticas, estando materializados nos marcos regulatórios da política educacional.
