Interaction Design of a Center Navigation System for Female Drivers
Authors: Zheng Jie , Deng Fenghui
Published: June 2024

The center-controlled navigation system of intelligent vehicles provides location-based information services for drivers, which is an important component in determining driving safety and driving experience. Currently, automobile center-controlled navigation systems are mostly based on male-preferred orientation strategies, ignoring the fact that female drivers are more inclined to path strategies, which raises the issue of differences in spatial cognitive ability between genders. Spatial cognitive ability, which refers to the cognitive process of locating a target in space, perceiving distance and direction relationships, and mentally changing an object's orientation based on its position or orientation in space, is an important factor in defining the effectiveness of navigation system services. Therefore, with the goal of solving young female drivers' difficulties in using navigation, this study firstly analyzes in-depth the characteristics of young female drivers' spatial cognitive abilities by using the wayfinding strategy scale, and extracts the differentiated pain points faced by young female drivers in using center-controlled navigation based on the oriented navigation task experiments and semi-structured interviews. After that, the information elements of intelligent vehicle center navigation interface for young female drivers are sorted out with case studies. Immediately following, based on the participatory design methodology, the study organized 20 subjects to conduct experiments on the design combination of interface information elements, according to which 20 sets of simulation prototypes were constructed using Protopie, and design experts were invited to evaluate the prototypes on a driving simulator, and an optimal set of solutions was generated based on the scoring calculation for usability testing. The results show that the optimal design scheme proposed in the study significantly improves the efficiency of navigation use as well as driving safety for young female drivers, and indirectly optimizes the driving experience of female drivers. Based on the problem of differences in spatial cognitive ability between genders, this study establishes a center navigation interface that meets the spatial cognitive ability of young female drivers. The study highlights the necessity of differentiated design of intelligent vehicles for different user groups, and provides new insights for promoting the diversity and inclusive development of technological innovation design.

Published: June 2024

The rapid development of intelligent fitness products has shifted design focus from solely emphasizing fitness effectiveness to prioritizing a holistic fitness experience. Integrating the concept of flow experience into the design of smart fitness products has proven effective in enhancing user satisfaction from both emotional and overall experiential perspectives. With the advancement of interactive technologies, users now engage in increasingly diverse interaction behaviors during fitness activities, demanding a more comprehensive approach to user research that considers the comprehensive interaction between users and their environment.This research explores the core challenge of exploring flow experience requirements from a whole-body interaction perspective during the user research process. The paper first delves into the elements of flow experience, subsequently conducting an in-depth exploration of methods for collecting and analyzing whole-body interaction data during fitness processes. Building upon this foundation, the paper establishes an insight pathway into flow experience requirements within the framework of whole-body interaction.The study sequentially analyzes the interactive technologies of smart fitness products and the environmental scene factors of fitness spaces to construct a rational user research experimental process and environment. Through user scenario interaction experiments, we collects and analyzes users' physical behaviors and implicit activities, ultimately deriving insightful requirements.In our user research on the home fitness treadmills design, we validated the effectiveness of this insight pathway。 The paper establishes a user research methodology based on the perspective of whole-body interaction and flow experience goals, providing guidance for a novel research approach in this field.

Authors: Trijard-caddy Vincent
Published: June 2024

The evolution of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems in the automotive sector marks a significant shift from traditional mechanical controls to sophisticated touchscreen interfaces. This transition reflects broader technological trends and user expectations, integrating large-screen interfaces that combine information, entertainment, and connectivity to enhance the driving experience. The focus on intuitive and adaptive design is critical in improving interaction quality and safety, demonstrating how modern automotive interfaces are increasingly shaped by the principles of user-centred design.Challenges such as interaction accuracy under varying road conditions and ergonomic considerations associated with increasing touchscreen sizes and placements within vehicle cabins are also examined. Studies on the effectiveness of various interaction techniques, including haptic feedback mechanisms, are evaluated for their role in mitigating distractions and enhancing user satisfaction. This paper highlights the necessity for advanced, adaptive HMI systems that can dynamically respond to environmental perturbations and user preferences to ensure safety and efficiency. Based upon the current literature, a comprehensive approach is proposed that integrates user-centred design, data mining, machine learning, and adaptive buttons close to the user to develop more intuitive and robust automotive HMIs. As vehicles advance towards greater autonomy, the continued collaboration and innovation in HMI design will be crucial in aligning with evolving user expectations and driving dynamics, ultimately contributing to safer and more efficient vehicle interfaces.

Published: June 2024

Nanoparticles have enormous potential application in drug delivery system. Chitosan nanoparticles have received plenty of attention due to their non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability and controlled drug release. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the potential of chitosan-tripolyphosphate (TPP) nanoparticles as a carrier in the preparation of Lithium loaded chitosan nanoparticles. Lithium loaded chitosan-TPP nanoparticles were prepared by using Ionotropic gelation method. The cross linking between TPP and chitosan was determined by FTIR studies. The particle size and zeta potential of nanoparticles were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential analyser. The particle size for chitosan nanoparticles and Lithium loaded chitosan nanoparticles were found to be148.4 nm and 179.0 nm respectively. The zeta potential for chitosan nanoparticles and Lithium loaded chitosan nanoparticles were found to be+35.70mV and +29mV. These nanoparticles have good loading capacity of 11% for Lithium. These studies suggest that chitosan can complex TPP to form Lithium loaded nanoparticles. Key Words: Nanoparticles, Chitosan, Ionotropic Gelation, Lithium

Diabetes is one of the non-communicable diseases that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. The disease can lead to dangerous complications such as blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, strokes, and limb amputation. A cross-sectional study was conducted through fasting blood sugar measurements and face-to-face interviews with 1,220 aquaculture workers to assess the prevalence and factors related to diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes in aquaculture workers was 7.1%, with pre-diabetes accounting for 21.2%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the following results: male gender (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.05 - 2.51), age ≥ 40 years old (OR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.43 - 3.89), family history of diabetes (OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.01 - 3.09), overweight and obese (OR = 1.87, 95% CI: 1.15 - 2.94), hypertension (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.04 - 2.62), dyslipidemia (OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.08 - 2.53), abdominal obesity (OR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.91 – 4.72), irregular exercise (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.02 - 2.48), smoking more than 20 cigarettes/day compared to non-smokers, working at night (OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.22 - 3.15), depressive symptoms (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.17 - 2.87) were related factors. Aquaculture workers need to take appropriate actions such as raising their awareness, changing lifestyles, having regular health check-ups and regular blood sugar testing to prevent diabetes, especially the progression of pre-diabetes into diabetes.

Equal access to disease management is crucial to control the impact of hypertension on the burden of disease in Indonesia. This study aimed to assess the extent of inequalities in the use, quality, and outcomes of hypertension management for beneficiaries of the National Health Insurance (NHI) program. This cross-sectional study consecutively recruited 797 beneficiaries of National Health Insurance who participated in the hypertension management program in the Banyumas District, Indonesia, between July and October 2021. The outcomes were regular visits, standard medication, and disease control. The inequalities were measured based on educational level, employment type, type of beneficiaries, and place of residence. The rate difference, rate ratio, and multiple logistic regression were used to estimate the extent of inequality. Compared to informal workers, formal workers had more regular visits to healthcare facilities (OR 1.78; 95%CI: 1.01-3.18) and had better disease control (OR 2.36; 95%CI: 1.28-4.38). Non-subsidized participants had fewer regular visits compared to subsidized participants (OR 0.51; 95%CI: 0.30-0.84). Urban residents tended to have more regular visits compared to rural residents (OR 2.14; 95%CI: 0.90-5.05). A substantial extent of inequalities in the use and outcomes of hypertension management still exists among beneficiaries of the NHI program. The future implementation of the hypertension management program of National Health Insurance in Indonesia should consider the geographical and socio-economic background of its participants.

The global prevalence of HIV has reached its peak among individuals aged 20 to 39. While digital media has been widely employed for promoting sexual health, its application in boosting HIV testing rates among adolescent remains relatively restricted. This systematic review seeks to gauge the efficacy of digital-driven health education in enhancing HIV testing rates within the youth population. The study was included original studies published in English, quantitative with RCT, involving adolescent that are published from 2013 to 2023. The publications were identified using CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science electronic databases with keywords of adolescent, telemedicine, and HIV testing. We also used the hand-searching method from other systematic review and meta-analysis articles. We did a critical appraisal and found a low-risk bias on four RCT studies. All included articles were coded according to relevant exposures or outcomes and analyzed to assess frequencies. Four studies from the United States, United Kingdom, and China were included in the synthesis. Uptake of HIV testing among adolescent give digital media interventions had a significant difference of 1.90 times compared to the group that did not give digital media intervention (p<0.00001). Digital media intervention significantly increased HIV testing engagement among adolescent. HIV screening programs using digital media are needed to optimize access to HIV testing services.
İzokinetik Testlerde Mekanik Terimlerin Atletik Performansla İlişkilendirilmesi: Spor Bilimciler İçin Bir Rehber
Authors: Kural Doğa , Arslan Yunus Ziya
Published: June 2024

İzokinetik testler, sporcuların atletik performansını mekanik yönleriyle ortaya koyar. Ancak mekanik terimlerin anlamı spor bilimciler tarafından net bir şekilde bilinmemektedir. Bu sebeple testten elde edilen mekanik çıktıların atletik performanstaki karşılığı da anlaşılamamaktadır. Kuvvet, tork, yapılan iş ya da üretilen güç gibi terimler birbiriyle bağlantılıdır; fakat birbirinden farklı atletik performans özelliklerini ifade eder. Bu terimlerin anlamı ve performanstaki yansımalarının bilinmemesi sporcuların performansının yanlış değerlendirilmesine sebep olmaktadır. Ayrıca terimlerin yanlış kullanılması biyomekanik ve spor bilimleri camiası arasında bir iletişim engeli oluşturmaktadır. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada izokinetik testlerde kullanılan temel mekanik parametrelerin hem ölçüm hem de matematiksel hesaplama yöntemleri ile elde edilmeleri amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca bu parametrelerin atletik performans açısından kullanımları değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada bir sprinterden pilot ölçüm alınmıştır. İzokinetik test baskın bacakta ve oturur pozisyonda diz ekleminde 60-120-240 der/s hızlarda uygulanmıştır. İzokinetik test ile eklem torkunun zamana, açıya ve hıza bağlı değişim grafikleri elde edilmiş ve bu veriler kullanılarak eklemin hareket boyunca yaptığı iş, ürettiği güç ve tepe torka ulaştığı açı değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca birbirinden farklı birçok izokinetik test çıktısının beraber yorumlanarak performansın nasıl değerlendirileceği vurgulanmıştır. Patlayıcı kuvvet, çabukluk ve çabuk kuvvette devamlılık gibi atletik performans ölçümleri ile izokinetik test sonuçları arasındaki korelasyon ve anlamlı ilişkiler farklı spor disiplinleri içerisinde örneklendirilmiştir.

Mensbeelden bij beleid: van rationeel en verantwoordelijk tot kwetsbaar of onwelwillend

Images of man in policy: from rational and responsible to vulnerable or unwilling

Policy choices are largely inspired by images of man: assumptions about the lives and behaviour of people to whom the policy applies. Despite their influence on policy, images of man often remain implicit and are often taken for granted. Although there has been increasing political and social attention to this theme in recent years, there is still little academic knowledge about the role of images of man in policy. This article aims to close this knowledge gap by researching and making visible images of man behind policy. Based on document analysis, interviews and focus group discussions with involved officials, this article focuses on the Dutch Lifelong Development policy and the Covid vaccination strategy. The research shows that the rational, responsible view of man and its counterpart, the vulnerable person, are a dominant underpinning of policy. This initially results in policy that informs and supports citizens and above all leaves them free to do so. But the policy uses a specific, normative interpretation of what the rational and responsible choice is; namely learning and developing and getting vaccinated. This specific interpretation carries the risk that other priorities, concerns and considerations of people not to develop or be vaccinated are at best not seen or served, and at worst are portrayed as irrational, irresponsible or even anti-social.

Published: June 2024

Solar energy has vast potential in India which is a rapidly growing economy with diverse geographical features. Solar energy has intermittent behaviour and depends on geographical and weather conditions. Therefore, the reliability of the solar depends on the seamless operation of solar plants with the latest technologies. The main objective of  power operator is to facilitate the renewable power sources intergeration for maintaining an uninterrupted power supply. To achieve this objective, researchers have employed various Deep Learning methods of machine learning, such as RNN, LSTM, CNN and SVM for accurate solar power forecasting with higher relibaility. In this paper, a GA-CNN  deep learning algorithm is employed with an optimized hyperparameters technique for PV energy forecasting. This technique outperforms when compared with the other methods such as LSTM, KNN-SVM, and CNN-RNN techniques in terms of RMSE, MAE, MSE and R-Square performance indices. This method provides a better and more robust method of deep learning for solar PV energy forecasting.
Del sujeto neopolítico a las nuevas formas de servidumbre voluntaria
Authors: Schtivelband Ernesto
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo se centra en los procesos de reconfiguración de las subjetividades acaecidas en las últimas décadas en la Argentina, en el marco de la diseminación de la gubernamentalidad neoliberal a nivel global. Tomando como punto de partida la última dictadura cívico-militar, se estudian los rasgos que adquirió la relación entre subjetividad y neoliberalismo desde la década del noventa y tras la crisis de 2001-2002. El análisis se enfoca en una forma de subjetividad regida por la sumisión a los imperativos neoliberales, que se manifestó en la disposición de una parte de la ciudadanía a tolerar y apoyar medidas que amenazaban el bienestar social, incluso a costa de pagar un costo propio. Ejemplos de estas medidas son el programa de ajuste y reformas pro-mercado bajo Carlos Menem, el paro patronal agrario de 2008 durante el kirchnerismo, y las políticas de austeridad y recortes del gobierno de Mauricio Macri. En los años siguientes, a pesar de fluctuaciones, el rechazo a la planificación estatal, la predisposición al sacrificio y la aversión hacia el otro han persistido en un segmento significativo de la sociedad. En este marco, la figura del sujeto neosacrificial se propone como clave interpretativa para comprender una problemática compleja y de alcance mayor, ligada a los desafíos y obstáculos que afronta la democracia contemporánea en el contexto de las reconfiguraciones producidas por el neoliberalismo en las subjetividades.

A atenção primária é o primeiro nível de atenção à saúde e representa a principal porta de entrada do paciente no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), caracteriza-se por ser um conjunto de ações e estratégias que visam a promoção e proteção à saúde, a reabilitação dos usuários e busca oferecer uma atenção integral e segura aos usuários. O objetivo do estudo é descrever os impactos e desafios para a promoção na assistência segura e de qualidade de gestantes durante o pré-natal. Revisão de escopo, realizada entre dezembro de 2022 e março 2023, nas bases de dados, BDENF, LILACS, PUBMED/MEDLINE, CINAHL-EBSCO. Os critérios de inclusão foram: publicações dos últimos cinco anos, disponíveis na íntegra, de qualquer região, oriundos de periódicos avaliados por pares e que respondessem à questão desta revisão. Excluíram-se aqueles estudos duplicados e que não tiveram como objetivo principal deste estudo. Evidencia-se que a comunicação entre os profissionais da assistência, que atuam diretamente junto à gestante no pré-natal apresenta falhas e falta de informação por parte das gestantes no que se refere a importância do acompanhamento de pré-natal interferem de forma negativa no cuidado, tornando-se uma barreira para a segurança das gestantes. Conclui-se que é fundamental a identificação das barreiras para a promoção de uma assistência segura no acompanhamento das gestantes, a fim de evitar complicações durante o pré-natal, parto e puerpério e que as falhas de comunicação representam uma dessas barreiras que precisam ser sanadas.
A representação indígena em o Guarani (1857), de José de Alencar, e em o Karaíba (2010), de Daniel Munduruku

A representação do indígena é um dos temas mais recorrentes na história da literatura brasileira, ocorrendo desde a chegada dos portugueses, com a carta de Pero Vaz em 1500, até hoje, com o movimento indígena no Brasil. Anteriormente, a representação desses personagens era atrelada a características de submissão, vistos como aculturados frente à cultura europeia. Entretanto, nos anos de 1990, inicia-se o movimento indígena no Brasil, um momento que trouxe outra perspectiva sobre esses personagens. Tendo em vista a hipótese de que a autoria é um conceito decisivo para se compreender a representação indígena, o principal objetivo desta pesquisa foi comparar duas obras pertencentes a dois momentos históricos diferentes: O Guarani, de 1857, do autor branco José de Alencar, e O Karaíba, de 2010, do autor indígena Daniel Munduruku. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica com base nos estudos de Candido (1975), Dalcastagné (2008), Santos e Wielewicki (2009), Sirino (2019), Souza (2019) e Thiél (2006), a fim de realizar um panorama geral dos dois momentos históricos, assim como trazer a definição de autoria. Para a construção da análise, foram separados três aspectos que regem a linha dos resultados apresentados, sendo eles: a) personagens brancos, b) narrador, c) situações narrativas. Ao final, constatou-se que Alencar se comporta de modo ambíguo em suas representações da cultura indígena, e que Munduruku os representa como uma sociedade não-idealizada, com suas próprias culturas e costumes. Apesar disso, percebeu-se que ambos os autores fizeram uso de aspectos estilísticos similares, como a utilização da linguagem com eventos da natureza para expressar sentimentos, partindo do pressuposto de que a cultura indígena possui conhecimento dessa ciência.

Accurate implant placement is vital to the proper function and life of not only the implant fixture but also the implant-restoration structural unit. Less than 1% of implant failures occur primarily due to fracture of the implant fixture. Though the principle of implant placement today is prosthetic-driven, proper implant fixture placement is fundamental to the life of the implant-prosthesis unit and includes factors such as selection of key factors such as expertise of dentist or specialist placing the implant fixture, length, and diameter, angulation or path of insertion, length and of implant fixture. Research indicates that among the factors listed, diameter and angulation or proposed path of insertion of the implant fixture play an important role in the long-term stability of the implant fixture.
In this case report, we describe a patient who underwent implant therapy, bilaterally, in the mandible. Implant fixtures were placed in the region of missing tooth #19 and #30 which were previously extracted due to pulpal disease of carious origin. In both cases, a 5.0 mm diameter implant fixture was selected to replace the missing #19 and 30. The implant placed in the #19 region was placed with the ideal angulation and subsequently restored, while the implant fixture placed in the missing #30 location was inserted at an off-angle, then subsequently restored. Three years following restoration, the patient presented with a fractured implant replacing #30. This case report emphasizes the importance of selection of appropriate implant fixture features such as diameter and angulation for the long-term survival of the entire implant-prosthesis unit. As the report would further indicate, in the region of tooth #30, it was difficult to ascertain the cause of implant therapy failure. The case report also underpins the need to pay increased attention to all factors on an individual basis that essentially compound to improve the survivability of the implant-prosthesis unit.

Published: June 2024

Long-term denture wearers have advanced ridge atrophy and atrophy of the musculature of the cheeks and lips and often face challenges associated with decreased mandibular denture stability. This case report highlights the successful implementation of the neutral zone technique in the fabrication of maxillary and mandibular complete dentures to address this issue. Understanding the concept of the neutral zone is essential for achieving optimal denture stability, retention, and speech quality. The steps involved in capturing and utilizing the neutral zone to improve denture stability are thoroughly described. The case exemplifies the effectiveness of the neutral zone technique in overcoming mandibular denture instability for patients with compromised edentulous ridges, resulting in enhanced patient satisfaction, improved oral function and speech.

Published: June 2024

The article presents an overview of the current normative, national, and international documents, containing in their content the requirements for devices coupling a car with a trailer in terms of technical conditions that these devices must meet to confirm proper performance and ensure the possibility of safe use during exploitation before will go on sale. Attention was paid to the division of coupling devices of motor vehicles and trailers into classes according to Regulation 55 of the UN/ECE and the resulting requirements. The principles according to which it should be accepted that couplings meet the approval requirements are discussed, and the meaning and way equipment manufacturers determine the characteristic values of the indicated coupling parameters are explained. Requirements for the minimum and maximum loads exerted by the trailer on the coupling device are presented. Particular attention was paid to the existing technical solutions (including patent claims in the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland or in the European Patent Office) regarding coupling devices characterized by the possibility of measuring the static vertical force on the coupling and couplings with vertical flexibility (compliance), which can potentially reduce dynamic loads on the coupling device. Calculations focused on two practical applications are planned using the article's content and simulation. The first is the ability to assess the impact of introducing vertical compliance to the coupling device on its durability. The second is the ability to assess the impact of the value of the static vertical load of the coupling device (resulting from the trailer load and the longitudinal position of its center of mass) on the length of the braking distance of the combination: towing vehicle - trailer.
ASBESTOSE: UMA ANÁLISE DE PATOLOGIA, FISIOPATOLOGIA E PROCESSOS BIOLÓGICOS SUBJACENTES
Authors: Moreira Thiago de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

A asbestose, uma doença pulmonar crônica relacionada à exposição ao amianto, é uma crescente preocupação de saúde pública. O amianto, uma fibra mineral usada em diversas indústrias no passado, é conhecido por sua resistência e durabilidade. No entanto, a inalação prolongada de suas fibras desencadeia a asbestose, caracterizada por fibrose pulmonar progressiva e complicações graves. A patogênese começa com a inalação das fibras, que ativam uma resposta inflamatória crônica, levando à produção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias. Isso resulta em reparo tecidual anômalo com proliferação de fibroblastos e acúmulo de matriz extracelular, culminando em fibrose pulmonar. Isso compromete a função pulmonar, levando a sintomas como falta de ar, tosse crônica e desconforto. Além disso, a asbestose está ligada ao câncer de pulmão e ao mesotelioma pleural. A prevenção e o tratamento são essenciais diante dessa preocupação de saúde pública. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é investigar a patogênese da asbestose, desde a inalação das fibras de amianto até os complexos processos biológicos que levam à fibrose pulmonar e às complicações associadas. Nesta pesquisa, a metodologia adotada consistiu na realização de uma revisão de literatura sobre a asbestose. Para isso, foram consultadas bases de dados científicos reconhecidas, como PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science, utilizando palavras-chave relacionadas ao tema. Conclui-se que os achados desta pesquisa destacam a importância da prevenção como a primeira linha de defesa contra a asbestose. A substituição do amianto por materiais alternativos mais seguros e a implementação de regulamentações rigorosas são medidas fundamentais para reduzir a exposição ocupacional e ambiental. Além disso, o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento adequado são essenciais para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados pela asbestose.
