Authors: Zakir Hina , Filipović Miroslav D. , Barnes Luke , Koribalski Bärbel S. , Hopkins Andrew M. , Lazarević Sanja , Leahy Denis , Gordon Yjan
Published: June 2024

We report the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder Evolutionary Map of the Universe survey detection of radio continuum emission from SN1996aq, a Type Ic supernova within the nearby face-on spiral galaxy NGC 5584. Analysis at multiple radio frequencies reveals radio emission coincident with SN1996aq. We find a flatter radio spectral index compared to the 2009 observations, indicating rapid evolution of SN1996aq. Conversely, no radio emission is observed from NGC 5584’s other known supernova, SN2007af. Furthermore, we identified two other significant radio continuum regions with properties consistent with H ii regions.
Progenitor Stars Calculated with Small Reaction Networks should not be Used as Initial Conditions for Core Collapse
Authors: Renzo M. , Goldberg J. A. , Grichener A. , Gottlieb O. , Cantiello M.
Published: June 2024

Core collapse initial conditions are a bottleneck in understanding the explosion mechanism(s) of massive stars. Stellar evolution codes struggle after carbon burning, and either stop or adopt numerical simplifications missing crucial physics. The use of small nuclear reaction networks (NRN) that account for energy production but bypass weak reactions is typical, but insufficient to study the dynamics of the collapse. We advise against the use of progenitors computed with small NRN in expensive multidimensional simulations of core collapse, bounce, (jet formation), and explosion.

Authors: Granet Fanette , Scarone Eduardo
Published: June 2024

Deux psychologues font part d’un dispositif de réunion original au sein d’un hôpital de jour pour adolescents. Il s’agit d’une réunion dite de « régulation » bihebdomadaire, dont le cadre permet à chaque soignant d’aborder des difficultés ou des trouvailles dans le soin des patients. Les auteurs proposent à travers cet exemple de montrer comment peut se travailler le cadre thérapeutique ainsi que l’intérêt d’un ajustement des soins au plus près de la clinique quotidienne des patients.
La fin de vie en institution : l’angle mort de la pratique sociale
Authors: Marchand Aurélie , Melou François
Published: June 2024

L’accompagnement dans la mort des personnes déficientes intellectuelles souffre encore de tabous, qui laissent peu de place à leur parole, à leur volonté. Ils font face à des émotions, des angoisses et ils ont une représentation de la mort. Un accompagnement social teinté de sollicitude et de considération permet le recueil de leurs souhaits formalisés par des directives anticipées. C’est par la mobilisation de l’intuition dans sa globalité que cet accompagnement mobilisera son humanité.
La plainte au travail dans le travail social
Authors: Dugué Pierre
Published: June 2024

L’usure professionnelle et la souffrance au travail sont situationnelles, contextuelles, environnementales, elles sont aussi l’affaire du sujet. Les éducateurs spécialisés que nous accompagnons dans le cadre de gap témoignent de nombreuses plaintes. Elles peuvent être analysées sous un angle qui révèle leur caractère dynamique, polysémique. Le recours à un cadre d’analyse de type systémique et socio-clinique permet l’identification et la clarification des registres socio-psychiques dans lesquels les sujets souffrants sont pris et agis.
Le rêve, entre actuel et origines
Authors: Dupeu Jean-Marc
Published: June 2024

L’auteur met au premier plan une problématique qui chez Freud reste assez secondaire, à savoir le problème central de la fonction du rêver, du processus du rêver. On pourrait dire que le privilège accordé à l’interprétation des récits de souvenirs de rêves , comme produits, voire sous-produits du processus onirique ( traümen ), a fait obstacle à ce que soit posée de façon convaincante par Freud lui-même la question de la fonction psychique (et pas seulement « autoconservatrice ») du processus du rêver. Dans le chapitre VI, le travail de rêve apparaît comme un pur et simple “cryptage” des pensées du rêve. À ce titre, l’interprétation des rêves serait un simple décryptage. Contrairement à ce qu’on lit le plus souvent, le chapitre de la Traumdeutung le plus problématique n’est pas le chapitre VII, qui tente – non sans profit – de renouer avec la métapsychologie de l’ Esquisse , mais bien ce chapitre VI, obstacle épistémologique majeur que Freud n’arrivera jamais tout à fait à surmonter… malgré sa « révision » avortée dans l’ Au-delà du principe de plaisir . Le texte où il s’approche le plus d'une telle « révision » est le Complément métapsychologique à la doctrine du rêve (1915), dans lequel il prend au sérieux la question de la régression dans le rêve et en psychopathologie. La visée de la thérapeutique analytique (quels que soient les dispositifs privilégiés – différents selon les organisations psychopathologiques) consisterait, dans cette perspective, à relancer la fonction introjective (et donc le processus de subjectivation) du processus du rêver, lorsque celui-ci s’est trouvé défaillant ou a été débordé. Du coup, les analogies entre le paradigme du rêver et le dispositif analytique trouvent des justifications théoriques et pratiques.
Entre tradition et modernité : réalités et défis du monde brassicole belge (de la fin du XIX e siècle à la première guerre mondiale)
Authors: Tilly Pierre
Published: June 2024

Dans cet article, nous analysons les réalités et les principaux défis qui se posent au monde brassicole belge durant une période qui a été considérée par de nombreux contemporains comme celle d’un âge d’or en raison notamment du chiffre record de brasseries recensées en activité. Cette période est significative et emblématique à plus d’un titre. Elle porte en germe des mutations et des changements structurants qui touchent autant à l’offre qu’à la demande d’un produit qui possède des caractéristiques spécifiques et originales en Belgique à l’exemple de la brassiculture monastique trappiste. Entre débats sur la fiscalité propre à la bière et sur la répression de l’alcoolisme, une organisation des acteurs patronaux du secteur prend de plus en plus forme, montre son influence et pèse lourd sur les décideurs politiques dans un environnement marqué par une approche libérale profondément ancrée au plan économique et idéologique bien que contestée sur le plan de la consommation d’alcool.
L’irrésistible ascension de Kronenbourg (1908-1970) ou la construction d’une marque synonyme de bière
Authors: Stoskopf Nicolas
Published: June 2024

Brasserie strasbourgeoise relativement modeste au début du xx e siècle, Kronenbourg se hisse au premier rang des brasseries alsaciennes dans les années 1920 et devient la première marque de bière française au cours des Trente Glorieuses. Cette irrésistible ascension est conduite par deux hommes, Maurice Hatt (1869-1958) et son fils Jérôme (1912-1998) qui ont tous les deux les coudées franches à la tête de l’entreprise familiale. Ils mènent avec constance une politique de marque visant à se distinguer de la concurrence et conduisant à terme à une modification en profondeur des modes de consommation de la bière.
Les « films perdus » de la catastrophe de Courrières : des survivants au cœur d’un succès cinématographique
Authors: Delangue Guillaume
Published: June 2024

Les « films perdus » de la catastrophe de Courrières : des survivants au cœur d’un succès cinématographique. La catastrophe de Courrières est l’une des plus grandes tragédies minières de tous les temps. En mars 1906, un effondrement de galeries provoque la mort de 1 099 mineurs. L’évènement, très médiatisé par la presse, suscite un émoi national. Des « films perdus », absents des archives cinématographiques et méconnus des historiens, ont été tournés par les cinéastes au moment des faits. Ils montrent notamment les funérailles des victimes, l’intervention des sauveteurs dans les mines, et les survivants à l’infirmerie. Ces derniers collaborent étroitement à la réalisation et à la promotion commerciale de ces films, en acceptant d’être enregistrés sur leur lit d’hôpital, avec leurs proches, ou en participant à une tournée médiatique dans la capitale. Les vues de la catastrophe sont distribuées en masse dans l’Europe francophone de mars à juin 1906, grâce notamment à un important réseau de projectionnistes ambulants.
La recherche publique est-elle de plus en plus appliquée ?
Authors: Barrier Julien
Published: June 2024

En s’inscrivant dans les débats sur les reconfigurations contemporaines de la science, cet article examine la thèse selon laquelle la recherche publique serait de plus en plus largement orientée par des intérêts économiques. À partir de l’analyse lexicale d’un corpus de près de 4 000  abstracts de publications scientifiques et d’une enquête de terrain sur la recherche en électronique, photonique et nanotechnologies, il met en évidence un déplacement des enjeux scientifiques au sein de ce domaine, enjeux qui se structurent de plus en plus souvent autour de problématiques technologiques et industrielles. Toutefois, l’analyse montre que, loin d’être passifs face à des changements impulsés de l’extérieur, les chercheurs ont activement participé à ces évolutions. En effet, on a assisté à une redéfinition des modalités de la concurrence entre pairs dans ce domaine, où la capacité à démontrer le potentiel applicatif d’une recherche est devenue un facteur supplémentaire de crédibilité scientifique.

Authors: Adinolfi Felice , Vecchio Yari , Masi Margherita , Mastandrea Giada , Lambertini Gianmarco , De Castro Paolo
Published: June 2024

The European Union's quality policy is an example of a public policy that attempts to deliver public benefits to the entire European society. It's a crucial pillar of the Farm to Fork strategy for the transition to a sustainable European food system. The European Commission presented on March 2022 a legislative proposal on EU geographical indications for wine, spirits, and agricultural products (including PDO, PGI and GI), as well as traditional specialities guaranteed and optional quality terms for agricultural products, amending Regulations (EU) No 1308/2013, 2017/1001, and 2019/787 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 and was approved in April 2024. It aims to increase the dissemination of geographical indications and traditional specialities guaranteed, reduce the time required for their registration and strengthen their protection.
Machine learning approach of Casson hybrid nanofluid flow over a heated stretching surface
Authors: Ramasekhar Gunisetty , Alkarni Shalan , Shah Nehad Ali
Published: June 2024

The present investigation focused on the influence of magnetohydrodynamic Gold-Fe3O4 hybrid nanofluid flow over a stretching surface in the presence of a porous medium and linear thermal radiation. This article demonstrates a novel method for implementing an intelligent computational solution by using a multilayer perception (MLP) feed-forward back-propagation artificial neural network (ANN) controlled by the Levenberg-Marquard algorithm. We trained, tested, and validated the ANN model using the obtained data. In this model, we used blood as the base fluid along with Gold-Fe3O4 nanoparticles. By using the suitable self-similarity variables, the partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). After that, the dimensionless equations were solved by using the MATLAB solver in the Fehlberg method, such as those involving velocity, energy, skin friction coefficient, heat transfer rates and other variables. The goals of the ANN model included data selection, network construction, network training, and performance assessment using the mean square error indicator. The influence of key factors on fluid transport properties is presented via tables and graphs. The velocity profile decreased for higher values of the magnetic field parameter and we noticed an increasing tendency in the temperature profile. This type of theoretical investigation is a necessary aspect of the biomedical field and many engineering sectors.
A recent proximal gradient algorithm for convex minimization problem using double inertial extrapolations
Authors: Kesornprom Suparat , Inkrong Papatsara , Witthayarat Uamporn , Cholamjiak Prasit
Published: June 2024

In this study, we suggest a new class of forward-backward (FB) algorithms designed to solve convex minimization problems. Our method incorporates a linesearch technique, eliminating the need to choose Lipschitz assumptions explicitly. Additionally, we apply double inertial extrapolations to enhance the algorithm's convergence rate. We establish a weak convergence theorem under some mild conditions. Furthermore, we perform numerical tests, and apply the algorithm to image restoration and data classification as a practical application. The experimental results show our approach's superior performance and effectiveness, surpassing some existing methods in the literature.
On existence results for a class of biharmonic elliptic problems without (AR) condition
Authors: Lu Dengfeng , Dai Shuwei
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we study the following biharmonic elliptic equation in $ \mathbb{R}^{N} $:

   \begin{document}$ \Delta^{2}\psi-\Delta \psi+P(x)\psi = g(x, \psi), \ \ x\in\mathbb{R}^{N}, $\end{document}

where $ g $ and $ P $ are periodic in $ x_{1}, \cdots, x_{N} $, $ g(x, \psi) $ is subcritical and odd in $ \psi $. Without assuming the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we prove the existence of infinitely many geometrically distinct solutions for this equation, and the existence of ground state solutions is established as well.

Published: June 2024

RAON (Rare-isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments) is the superconducting linac (SCL3 and SCL2) facility in Korea. It consists of an injector, a superconducting linac, and user facilities. It is designed to accelerate various ion beams from proton (A/Q=1) to uranium (A/Q=7.2). The ECR ion source in the injector system generates ion beams with the energy of 10 keV/u. They are accelerated to the energy of 500 keV/u by the RFQ (Radio-Frequency Quadrupole) in the injector. The superconducting linac (SCL3) includes 22 QWR (Quater-Wave Resonator) cavities and 102 HWR (Half-Wave Resonator) cavities. The energy becomes 18.5 MeV/u for uranium beams after the linac. The beam commissioning of the injector started from August 2021. The first beam commissioning of the superconducting linac was performed from October 2022 to June 2, 2023. Research and development of the cavities for the high-energy part (SCL2) of the superconducting linac is in progress. This work explains some characteristic features of the beam dynamics for RAON linac and some beam commissioning results.

Une figurine de type métapontin dans la collection Berne-Malibu-Copenhague
Authors: Zubiri Eukene Bilbao
Published: June 2024

Cette contribution présente une figurine appartenant à la collection Berne-Malibu-Copenhague, issue de pillages réalisés en Italie du Sud dans les années 1970-1980 et conservée désormais au Museo nazionale archeologico della Sibaritide. Examinée dans le cadre de la publication d’ensemble de cette collection, en cours de préparation, la pièce se caractérise par une grande originalité morphologique. Le type moulé a été créé à Métaponte à la fin du VIIe siècle av. J.-C., mais la technique de fabrication combinant un avers moulé et un revers modelé ne trouve pas de parallèle exact dans cette cité, ni dans les établissements voisins. Sa provenance ne peut pas être assurée actuellement mais elle constitue un témoin original de la diversité des procédés de fabrication des premiers plasticiens mouleurs de Grande Grèce.
Can Serious Games and AI Rejuvenate Museums?
Authors: Plaisent Michel , Lafortune Jean-Marie , Zheng Lili , Ndinga Pascal , Tomiuk Daniel , Cortes Sylvester , Czubinski Agnès , Bernard Prosper
Published: June 2024

Museums are an important player in the “heritage industry” because they hold a huge potential for the development of tourism, especially in regions far from large cities. Serious games and artificial intelligence are responsible for their new success. This research explores the issues and challenges posed by their introduction. It used a questionnaire distributed to museum directors. Among the benefits of serious games, directors agree on public diversification, improving visitors experience, rejuvenating the museums image, and increase in-site and distant visits. AI is recognized to permit interactive exhibits and personalization of visit experience. Financial and technical issues slow their introduction among the strategies used to increase digital services; cooperation with other museums and other actors are more cited than increasing resources. But a lack of knowledge (not of interest) characterized respondents to this study. The question is no more “Yes or No” to implementation, but “When and How.”

Building Sustainability in Textile and Apparel Supply Chains
Authors: Singh Neetu
Published: June 2024

Textile and apparel supply chains have emerged as environmentally unsustainable and pollution-causing, responsible for the depletion of resources and the fourth-largest cause of greenhouse gas emissions in the environment. With the hub of textile and apparel production centralized around developing economies, the supply chain faces several challenges, with organizations focusing on triple-bottom-line performance considering the social and environmental impact of the supply chains over and above their financial viability. Thus, seven critical requirements for an effective supply chain model to meet the triple bottom line are reduction in textile waste and emissions, reduction in energy intensity, maximum usage of renewable and sustainable energy resources, reuse and recycling of materials, measurement, and assessment of the impact of the supply chain on the ecosystem, standard measuring procedures evaluating the sustainability performance of an organization and environmental consciousness permeating the organizational culture.

Narratives of Hope
Authors: Gruber Sibylle
Published: June 2024

This chapter addresses efforts on how to shift normative narratives focusing on climate catastrophe, environmental disasters, and climate inaction to climate hope, action, and activism. The author discusses how teachers can promote learning communities where current and future teachers can engage successfully with each other and with their students on the complex issue of climate change, and the author encourages educators to become teacher-researchers who can use inquiry-based and critical self-reflection to promote hope and constructive climate activism in students and teachers. The author argues that we need to redefine, blend, and expand existing and limiting boundaries and create an environment where transdisciplinary and intersectional teaching and learning perspectives are foregrounded in order to create a new way of addressing climate change and moving towards climate action.

Authors: Alfonso Stacey
Published: June 2024

This chapter provides a holistic examination of nature-based early childhood education (NBECE), spotlighting forest schools. Extensive research underscores the benefits of nature experiences for children's growth and development as well as nature-connectedness and ecological identity. As such, NBECE in North America has witnessed over a twofold growth from 2015 to 2020, with continued expansion. A similar trend is observed in the UK, where demand for nature-based education, particularly forest schools, has grown since the 1990s, with a significant surge over the last three years. Amid this recent growth, it is crucial to recognize the enduring existence of nature-centric pedagogies in Indigenous and local communities which begins this chapter's exploration. The discussion covers historical, philosophical, and theoretical underpinnings that have profoundly influenced contemporary forest school curricula, instructional practices, and overall approaches within the NBECE domain.

A procura da caçada perfeita: a cultura da criação de curiós e as competições com o pássaro na Amazônia brasileira
Authors: Campos Shirley Fernanda de Almeida , Gomes Felipe Bittioli Rodrigues
Published: June 2024

Aspectos culturais motivam a criação de aves silvestres como animais de estimação, prática comum na Amazônia. A espécie curió (Sporophilaangolensis) se destaca como uma das mais mantidas como animal de estimação na região Norte do Brasil, principalmente pela sua capacidade após o treinamento de ser usada para a caça de outros pássaros livres da natureza. Os indivíduos da espécie que, ao vocalizar, conseguem atrair outros pássaros e desenvolvem a habilidade de capturar outras aves, são chamados na região amazônica de curiós-preseiros. Os criadores de curiós-preseiros passaram a utilizar a espécie para a caça e também em campeonatos, onde a ave que demonstra melhor desempenho como velocidade e destreza ao apreender o oponente vence a disputa. Este estudo teve como objetivo obter informações sobre a relação do ser humano com o curió por criadores da espécie e descrever como acontecem as competições de curió-preseiro em um cenário amazônico. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com criadores do curió dos municípios de Altamira e Brasil Novo, sudoeste do Pará, onde a criação e os campeonatos utilizando a espécie são tradicionais. Os dados qualitativos foram discutidos através da análise de conteúdo. Foram entrevistadas 20 pessoas, a maioria homens (90%). Como resultado, descrevemos como ocorrem os campeonatos de disputa preseira, que acontecem através de vídeos do momento da captura, compartilhados em grupos específicos nas mídias sociais, onde os valores de venda dos pássaros campeões atingem até R$ 30.000,00. Assim, fornecemos informações relevantes sobre aspectos culturais e sociais em relação à criação da espécie na região.

Análise crítica do discurso: proposta didática de abordagem com estudantes do ensino superior
Authors: Macário Maria João , Silva Ana Isabel
Published: June 2024

A análise crítica dos discursos mediatizados permite compreender os textos para além dos próprios textos, através da análise das estratégias discursivas e da construção de significados dos atores sociais. A compreensão sobre os contextos sociais no funcionamento (social) dos discursos justifica-se no ensino da Pragmática com estudantes do ensino superior. Tal é o caso dos alunos que frequentam cursos de Comunicação Social, na medida em que a transformação dos discursos para serem difundidos através dos meios de comunicação de massas (quer sejam os tradicionais ou os novos média) será certamente objeto de trabalho nas suas práticas profissionais futuras. Exemplificando como o ensino da Pragmática poderá ser mobilizado para a vida profissional destes estudantes, este artigo centra-se nos resultados de uma proposta didática de análise crítica de discursos mediatizados por estudantes finalistas de Comunicação Social. Esta investigação de abordagem qualitativa foi desenvolvida no ano letivo de 2021/2022 e envolveu uma análise de conteúdo a partir das práticas de análise discursiva dos estudantes, que dispunham de um guião didático para apoiar o seu trabalho de análise. Este estudo de caso, envolvendo 60 participantes, revelou-nos a oportunidade desta proposta para os estudantes compreenderem os discursos como práticas sociais, que resultam e dão origem (simultaneamente) a fenómenos sociais, que importa conhecer. Ao mesmo tempo, esta proposta permitiu contribuir para o desenvolvimento de capacidades analítico-críticas e reflexivo-interpretativas, importantes para a ação profissional futura destes participantes.

O tema da diversidade de gênero tem sido cada vez mais discutido e a reivindicação de uma linguagem não-binária tem se tornado mais comum em pesquisas linguísticas. Embora parte dos estudos encontrados tenha se dedicado a uma posição política ante ao uso da linguagem não-binária (Lau & Sanches; 2019; Fiorin, 2022), nosso interesse de pesquisa parte da disposição de investigar a atitude linguística (Coan & Freitag, 2011; Rodrigues, 2012; Freitag & Santos, 2016) de falantes do Português Brasileiro (PB), residentes na segunda maior cidade do estado do Maranhão, e uma possível mudança linguística em tempo aparente. Diante disso, surge o seguinte problema de pesquisa: de que modo falantes do Português Brasileiro (PB) agem em relação à utilização da linguagem não-binária na cidade de Imperatriz/MA e como isso pode estar relacionado a possíveis mudanças linguísticas em tempo aparente? Assim, a presente pesquisa tem como principal objetivo investigar as atitudes linguísticas de falantes do Português Brasileiro (PB), da cidade de Imperatriz/MA, em relação à utilização da linguagem não-binária, também conhecida como linguagem inclusiva, considerando uma possível mudança linguística em tempo aparente referente ao uso dessa linguagem. A abordagem metodológica é quanti-qualitativa e descritiva, conforme referenciado por Gil (2002) e Creswell (2010). Trata-se de um levantamento de dados sociolinguísticos, haja vista que recorremos à interrogação direta das pessoas cujo comportamento, ou atitude linguística, desejamos conhecer (Gil, 2002). Os principais resultados indicam que somente 38,30% dos informantes aceitam a forma linguística da palavra ‘coisinho’, exemplo dado de palavra invariável de acordo com a norma prescritiva. Além disso, apenas 34,04% dos informantes aceitam a forma linguística ‘todes’. Considerando o percentual relativamente baixo de aceitação das referidas formas linguísticas, podemos concluir que ainda não há uma mudança linguística em andamento relacionada ao uso da linguagem não-binária na comunidade de falantes da cidade de Imperatriz/MA.
Os demônios elétricos de Alejo Carpentier e as origens do real maravilhoso
Authors: Pontes Newton de Castro
Published: June 2024

Este artigo examina um conto de Alejo Carpentier, ‘El milagro del ascensor (Cuento para un apéndice a la ‘Leyenda Áurea’)’, para discutir por meio dele elementos que constituiriam, em obras posteriores, o realismo maravilhoso da nova narrativa latino-americana. Encontramos principalmente uma reescrita, sob a ironia moderna, do discurso barroco, assim como um uso ressignificado da alegoria como modo de expressão, além de uma dialética entre o local e o estrangeiro que busca sua síntese em um projeto de identidade cultural mestiça e de um maravilhoso que se baseia na ubiquidade de um cristianismo sincrético, absorvido como estética literária – aspectos que afetam a própria expressão verbal do tempo e do espaço na narração, além da relação, concebida como ativamente responsiva, entre o discurso do narrador e da personagem. Recorremos à própria definição de real maravilhoso criada por Carpentier em 1949, assim como à discussão de Walter Benjamin sobre a alegoria no drama barroco alemão e às definições dadas por Bakhtin para a ironia moderna e o valor cultural da palavra estrangeira; tais definições teóricas são então mediadas pelos estudos de Doris Sommer, Luis Ernesto Lasso e Irlemar Chiampi, que identificam nas literaturas da América Latina a prevalência de um discurso barroco e alegórico.
A modeling strategy for the simulation of box sections with layered shell elements

Published: June 2024

This paper presents a numerical strategy to model box sections from bridge girders using horizontal layered shell finite elements. The basic idea is to avoid the construction of more computational expensive meshes based on the use of folded shell and brick finite elements. The numerical strategy imposes the deactivation of those layers related to empty spaces within the bridge cross-section. The performance of this technique is explored by means of two demanding practical applications related to bridge structures with constant and variable deck thicknesses. The first application deals with the static truck load test of the Caynarachi Bridge, located in Peru, and for which measured field data exists, while the second application is related to the construction stage analysis of a box bridge structure including time effects due to concrete creep, shrinkage and steel relaxation. The results demonstrate that the studied technique acceptably correlates with the measured field data,expressed in terms of vertical displacements,with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.94.Additionally, the outcomes align well with the results of other numerical techniques, allowing applicants to use this simplified modeling approach in daily design office.
Extending the Capacity of IoT Devices with Serverless Services for a Face Detection Application: A practical evaluation
Authors: Dotta João Pedro Bach , Galante Guilherme , Oyamada Marcio Seiji
Published: June 2024

IoT systems have limitations and challenges in many ways, such as performance, energy consumption, memory footprint and data storage. One possible solution to minimize these limitations is to integrate IoT devices with the serverless cloud computing model. In this context, this work aims to analyze the integration of these two technologies to determine if it can help overcome the limitations of IoT devices, most notably energy consumption and performance. A face detection application was adapted to run on an IoT device and the AWS Serverless Lambda service. Through experimentation, some metrics like latency, execution time and energy consumption were collected to evaluate the impact of serverless technology on the scope of IoT systems development. Results show that serverless technology is superior to the IoT device used in terms of performance, but it is directly related to the quality of the network connection to which the device is connected. Serverless technology can also be very useful when power supply to an IoT device is an issue, as these devices are usually battery-connected and have limited power source.

Background: Allergic rhino-conjunctivitis (AR) is a common disorder in children, which causes significant morbidity and impact on learning and day-to-day activities.  Objectives: To compare effectiveness of montelukast versus cetirizine in AR and its effect on the quality of life (QoL) among children aged 6-12 years, attending Asthma Clinic, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. Method: This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial; 'Group A' was given montelukast with a cetirizine dummy; 'Group B' was given cetirizine with a montelukast dummy. Primary endpoint was to compare improvement of nasal, eye and night symptom scores. Secondary endpoint was to compare the QoL between the groups. Total symptoms were assessed at baseline, one month, two months and three months. Results: There were 176 children (62.5% boys) with a mean age of 8.82 ± 1.79 years. Fifteen children were lost to follow-up, 7 from the montelukast and 8 from the cetirizine group. There was a significant reduction in all symptoms (p<0.05) every month in both treatment groups. Whilst montelukast group had more improved day and night symptom scores than cetirizine group, statistically significant improvement was seen only in the 3rd month (t-4.10 p <0.001). Mean QoL score showed no significant difference between the two groups at onset (montelukast 9.01±9.4 and cetirizine 15.9 ± 10.4; t-0.369; p=0.712). Both groups showed a statistically significant improvement in all domains of QoL by completion of treatment (p<0.05). Upon completion, the montelukast group showed a significantly better QoL than the cetirizine group. Conclusions: Both cetirizine and montelukast showed remarkable improvement in the symptoms and better QoL in children. Study outcomes in all clinical domains and QoL were more significantly improved in montelukast group than in cetirizine group when treatment was continued for 3 months.
