Published: August 2024

This study examines the transformation of religious tourism, exploring the nuanced paradigm shift from exclusively sacral experiences to those encompassing both sacral and secular elements. Over recent decades, this shift has been catalyzed by socio-cultural changes and the commercialization of the tourism industry. We analyze the impact of globalization, secular consumer preferences, and technological advancements on religious destinations, which have increasingly merged traditional spiritual objectives with secular, recreational activities. The research underscores the complex interplay between maintaining religious sanctity and accommodating modern tourist expectations. This study proposes a redefined approach to managing religious tourism sites that balances spiritual depth with commercial appeal, ensuring sustainable and culturally sensitive development. Our findings offer significant implications for stakeholders in cultural and religious tourism, suggesting strategies for embracing these changes while preserving the spiritual heritage of religious sites.

ENTENDIMENTO DE FUNÇÕES CEREBRAIS PARA O ENSINO DE ARTES A CRIANÇAS NEURODIVERGENTES
Authors: Soares Costa Maria Eduarda
Published: August 2024

Desde os primórdios da humanidade, a arte tem sido um meio de expressão emocional e comunicação crucial para o desenvolvimento. Por isso, a interseção entre arte, neurodiversidade e a educação, são evidenciadas como objetivo para a adaptação do ensino dessas artes para atender crianças neurodivergentes. O ensino artístico, deve priorizar a expressão livre e o desenvolvimento das habilidades motoras e cognitivas, promovendo um ambiente inclusivo e estimulante. O conceito de neuroplasticidade é central para a discussão, sugerindo que o cérebro é capaz de se modificar e adaptar-se em resposta a experiências, especialmente através da prática artística. A neuroplasticidade envolve mudanças nas configurações das sinapses e neurônios, que são essenciais para a aprendizagem e formação de memórias. Em suma, esse artigo propõe um modelo de ensino de artes que não apenas ensine técnicas artísticas, mas também como utilizar a arte como um poderoso meio para promover a inclusão, a expressão emocional e a aprendizagem significativa para crianças neurodivergentes, ressaltando a necessidade de um entendimento profundo das funções cerebrais no contexto educacional.
A LIBERDADE DE CÁTEDRA NA JURISPRUDÊNCIA DO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: Veiga Lucas Andreucci da
Published: August 2024

The theme freedom of chair is not new. It has long been discussed in combination with wider themes such as the right to information, the autonomy of universities and even the free expression of thought, a genre of which it is a species. And there were many clashes, including the censorship imposed by the civil-military dictatorship initiated in 1964 and surrounding legislative initiatives by political agents of a conservative hue in an attempt to promote themes permeated with ideological biases such as the “agenda of customs”. Contextualizing these two time frames and the discussions arising from the results brought by jurisprudential research, we provide an overview of what is being debated regarding the academic freedom before the Supreme Court, which may indicate which points still remain in dispute. The exploratory bibliographic review made it possible to establish concepts about public freedoms in general and, above all, the specificity of academic freedom. From then on, empirical research was carried out on the jurisprudential collection of the Federal Supreme Court, analyzing quantitatively and qualitatively the results obtained, consisting of rulings and monocratic decisions, identifying correlated subjects and making it possible to observe that the field of Education, of which the Freedom of professorship is a specific aspect, it remains a field of ideological and legal dispute.
La huelga de hambre como dispositivo performático de una muerte autoimpuesta
Authors: Urzúa Martínez Sergio
Published: August 2024

Durante parte importante del siglo XX y lo que va del siglo XXI, las huelgas de hambre han ocupado un lugar central en las luchas políticas emprendidas por pueblos sometidos y grupos excluidos. Este trabajo analiza la huelga de hambre en tanto dispositivo performático que amplifica la sensación de opresión e injusticia mediante la promesa de causar la propia muerte si las demandas que impulsan la protesta no son atendidas. Se sostiene que la fuerza de esta acción, no radica en el daño que puede ocasionar a los enemigos, sino en su capacidad de arrebatar al Estado la violencia, de dirigirla contra el propio cuerpo y de escenificar el dolor autoinfligido. Se concluye a partir de la relación entre política, dolor y cuerpo en lo que se ha considerado como una de las formas de protesta más extrema y controversial. De este modo, se busca aportar algunas reflexiones que permitan una aproximación comprensiva a la instalación de este dispositivo en el actual contexto mundial, donde comienzan a extenderse las huelgas de hambre de migrantes, refugiados, presos políticos y activistas de grupos étnicos y medioambientales, como una forma de reivindicar la vida, aun cuando, para ello, deban poner en riesgo la propia existencia
El devenir de lo trágico: Grecia y el espíritu de la música
Authors: Barriga Ortega Fernando
Published: August 2024

El presente artículo propone una evaluación del carácter intempestivo (unzeitgemäß) de la filosofía de Friedrich Nietzsche, a partir de una comprensión filosófica del concepto de lo trágico. El tratamiento nietzscheano de lo trágico a partir del arte griego resulta central para una consideración crítica de la tradición filosófica, especialmente en el modo de concebir los estudios sobre la Antigüedad griega. Respecto a lo anterior, la hipótesis propuesta sostiene una continuidad temática entre la ideación de lo apolíneo-dionisíaco de 1872 y la crítica de la metafísica elaborada a mediados de 1880. La interpretación propuesta aquí se sigue de un análisis de la intuición filosófica de lo apolíneo y lo dionisíaco, en tanto que fenómeno originario del arte griego. Luego, se evalúa el sentido de dicha intuición filosófica considerando la idea de sabiduría de Zaratustra. Finalmente, será precisado un contrapunto en el sentido de lo trágico con la crítica del Socratismo, estableciendo su alcance filosófico en el estudio filológico moderno de la filosofía griega. Conforme a lo anterior, la presente investigación busca aportar algunas claves de lectura en torno al sentido intempestivo del concepto de lo trágico, es decir, propone una evaluación de dicho concepto a la luz de su actualidad en el campo de investigación acerca de la filosofía de Nietzsche, así como en la indagación filosófica del mundo griego antiguo.
Designações de tempo em: Santo agostinho, Kant e Husserl
Authors: Linhares Vytal Hírvey Magalhães Arruda
Published: August 2024

O trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar as influências contribuintes para o desenvolvimento do estudo do tempo na fenomenologia husserliana, discutindo a relação do aperfeiçoamento da ciência enquanto episteme e do método fundamental para elaborar estudos sobre a percepção temporal. A produção dos estudos de Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) sobre a temporalidade foi influenciada diretamente por pensadores do período medieval, em especial Santo Agostinho (354-430) e do filósofo idealista Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), do qual herdará a origem dos fenômenos transcendentais. A ideia cartesiana de Cogito possibilitou mais tarde o desenvolvendo do método fenomenológico, utilizado nas diversas áreas da ciência e também na Psicologia e sua segmentação, a Psicologia Fenomenológica.
Crítica husserliana do conhecimento à filosofia transcendental de Kant
Authors: Senra André Vinícius Dias
Published: August 2024

De acordo com o método de Husserl, a superação do psicologismo torna-se necessária não somente para resolver o problema de fundação da Teoria do Conhecimento, mas também indica necessidade de estabelecer a fundação fenomenológica do conhecimento como base epistêmica que revela a possibilidade de fundar a esfera ideal da objetividade. Principalmente, porque a Fenomenologia pretende ser a ciência filosófica por excelência, na medida em que possa ser caracterizada como tal em função da constituição transcendental da cientificidade filosófica. A constituição fenomenológica da ciência de rigor (strenge wissenschaft) se torna possível em função de duas críticas de Husserl a Kant, posto que este disporia de um conceito limitado de fenômeno: 1) para Husserl, Kant não conseguiu conceber que o caminho transcendental poderia ser a base epistêmica segura para o desenvolvimento da ciência filosófica; 2) e, também, como Kant não investiu no desenvolvimento do sentido transcendental, desconhecendo a tarefa fenomenológica, terminou por não perceber a noção de intencionalidade como necessária para fundar a subjetividade transcendental, como base para a ciência filosófica, e, sem ela, desconheceu o sentido ideal da vivência intencional como campo fenomenológico.
De la fundamentación de la metafísica al mundo circundante: conexiones entre Kant, Uexküll y Husserl
Authors: Martinic Caneo Stephanie , Canela Morales Luis Alberto
Published: August 2024

Helmuth Plessner fue probablemente el primero en caracterizar la teoría del mundo circundante (Umwelt) de Jakob von Uexküll como fenomenológica, considerándola una auténtica “fenomenología del comportamiento vivo”. Sin duda, para von Uexküll, cada sujeto animal puede ser investigado según la parte del mundo con la que se relaciona, conformando así su mundo circundante. Por otra parte, en estrecha relación con lo anterior, en la fenomenología de Husserl también se empleó el término Umwelt, vinculándolo con la inmediata exterioridad del mundo con el que el sujeto establece relaciones. Ahora bien, tanto en la biología de Uexküll como en la fenomenología de Husserl, se encuentran elementos provenientes de la filosofía crítica kantiana, los cuales son retomados en cada caso para ser ampliados o reformulados. A continuación, se delineará la base común en el kantianismo por la cual tanto Uexküll como Husserl recurren posteriormente al concepto de Umwelt. Aunque no se abordará extensamente este concepto, es relevante reconocerlo como un elemento clave.

Legal Challenges of Intellectual Property Rights for Quantum Computing
Authors: Muhammad Zia-Ul-Haq  , Ghulam Mujtaba
Published: August 2024

Quantum computing is a very multidisciplinary field, a blend of materials science, electronics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum physics and the corresponding mathematical framework. The study aimed to evaluate the existing scenario of the choice of the intellectual property rights (IPRs) protection mechanisms for quantum computing, choice of best applicable type, and suggesting some key alternative innovation protection mechanisms. The methodology used in this research consists of general scientific and specific legal (historical-legal, formal-legal) methods besides law interpretation and legal modelling. We critically analyzed the norms for IPR protection of quantum computing from the viewpoint of obtaining protection of inventions and increasing the innovation activity in quantum computing. One of the regulatory mechanisms for every disruptive technology is offering it IP protection. Currently quantum computing hardware is protected by patents while software is mostly protected as copyright besides protection by industrial design and trade secret exist as complementary mechanisms for this revolutionary technology. All available approaches were considered, and amendments are suggested in current IPR legislation to correspond to the reality. This interdisciplinary research revealed the uncertain nature of quantum computing and the difficulty in selecting one type of IPR as the best choice. The best way to establish a sufficient IPR mechanism is to acknowledge quantum computing as an emerging technological cocktail, and to sustain the innovation cycle of this technology. The conclusions of this study can be used to overcome the lacunas in existing IPR system for the quantum computing. This research can be used as torchbearer when preparing proposals for making revisions and additions to the existing legislation.
Control of Personal Data and Cyber ​​Space by Global Digital Platforms in Relation to Indonesia's Digital Sovereignty
Authors: Fauzi Engrina , Citra Helfira , Marwenny Elwidarifa , Alfitrianti Nia
Published: August 2024

The dominance of foreign digital platforms in the application ecosystem within Indonesia poses significant implications for the sovereignty of the Indonesian state; the utilization of such foreign digital technologies results in the inadvertent surrender and delegation of citizen data to foreign entities for monitoring and processing purposes. This phenomenon has elicited concern among legal scholars, as the usage of foreign applications signifies the applicability of the legal frameworks from the countries of origin of these applications. This raises critical questions regarding the sovereignty of the Indonesian state, particularly concerning its ability to exert control over data and cyberspace in the context of global platforms. The methodological approach employed in this investigation is grounded in normative legal research, utilizing a conceptual framework that examines relevant legal statutes. The aggregation and distribution of personal data constitutes an infringement upon individual privacy rights, as the right to privacy inherently encompasses the prerogative to determine the provision of personal information. The strategic policies and initiatives undertaken by the Indonesian government to bolster national digital sovereignty can be realized through several measures: the implementation of comprehensive personal data protection standards to enhance national digital sovereignty, the establishment of an independent authority for personal data protection, the fortification of cybersecurity measures to mitigate data security risks, and the jurisdictional enforcement of cyberspace law towards achieving digital economic sovereignty. There exists a pressing need for extensive regulatory frameworks to safeguard personal data as an integral component of human rights. A balance must be struck in the management of personal data processing, ensuring the protection of rights and fostering awareness among data subjects, thereby facilitating the development of a secure digital economic ecosystem that offers legal certainty for enterprises and enhances consumer confidence. Furthermore, the establishment of equitable international personal data protection regulations is essential to support the advancement of the digital economy through arrangements governing cross-border data flow.

Published: August 2024

Currently, engineering construction is placing increasing demands on the accuracy of
engineering measurement. Projection deformation has a significant effect on engineering
measurement accuracy, representing a significant challenge in the field of high-precision
measurement. In the case of Gauss-Krüger projection of arbitrary zone, setting the projection
reference position in the center of the survey area will not necessarily guarantee the minimum
possible projection deformation. This article presents a method for determining the projection
reference position of Gauss-Krüger projection based on the minimum standard of the maximum
projection deformation, along with the maximum applicable range of the projection parameter.
Results demonstrate lower absolute values of length differences, smaller standard deviations of
side length differences, and superior overall results. In comparison to existing methods, the
proposed method has a broader scope of application.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT ON THE EXAMPLE OF KOZARA NATIONAL PARK
Authors: Milinković Saša , Sredojević Vanja , Kljajić Živana
Published: August 2024

The sustainable development of tourism represents a positive approach in development, its intentions are to reduce the discrepancies that arise in the relations between the tourism industry, local communities, the environment and tourists. Protected areas, and especially national parks, are important tourist destinations. The principles of sustainable tourism help managers to organize and improve the areas they manage. In this sense, the strategic approach of sustainable development of tourism represents the aspiration of management structures to launch initiatives that will not degrade natural resources. Of particular importance in the development of tourist destinations are their elements and attractive factors, on the basis of which their further development and organization is directed. The concept of sustainable development, as the most important challenge and task at the beginning of the 21st century, should be based on an integral holistic approach, which implies the mutual connection of all factors that participate in the development of tourism. In modern business conditions, it is necessary to improve the management of tourist areas, with the aim of preserving them, as well as improving the quality of development. This implies the definition of indicators that ensure the measurement of various economic, physical and sociocultural impacts, which originate from tourism. The success of the operation of the “Kozara” National Park depends on quality strategic management, i.e., formation of strategic harmony between the destination’s resources, on the one hand, and threats and opportunities, on the other. The aim of this paper is to point out the need to apply strategic management of sustainable development of tourism in the National Park “Kozara”, and to define an adequate strategy to ensure the effectiveness of the National Park “Kozara” as a protected tourist destination.
Differentiation and Integration of Competing Memories: A Neural Network Model
Authors: Ritvo Victoria JH , Nguyen Alex , Turk-Browne Nicholas B , Norman Kenneth A
Published: August 2024

What determines when neural representations of memories move together (integrate) or apart (differentiate)? Classic supervised learning models posit that, when two stimuli predict similar outcomes, their representations should integrate. However, these models have recently been challenged by studies showing that pairing two stimuli with a shared associate can sometimes cause differentiation, depending on the parameters of the study and the brain region being examined. Here, we provide a purely unsupervised neural network model that can explain these and other related findings. The model can exhibit integration or differentiation depending on the amount of activity allowed to spread to competitors — inactive memories are not modified, connections to moderately active competitors are weakened (leading to differentiation), and connections to highly active competitors are strengthened (leading to integration). The model also makes several novel predictions — most importantly, that when differentiation occurs as a result of this unsupervised learning mechanism, it will be rapid and asymmetric, and it will give rise to anticorrelated representations in the region of the brain that is the source of the differentiation. Overall, these modeling results provide a computational explanation for a diverse set of seemingly contradictory empirical findings in the memory literature, as well as new insights into the dynamics at play during learning.
The role of Imp and Syp RBPs in precise neuronal elimination by apoptosis through the regulation of TFs
Authors: Guan Wenyue , Nie Ziyan , Laurençon Anne , Bouchet Mathilde , Godin Christophe , Chérif Kabir , Darnas Aurélien , Enriquez Jonathan
Published: August 2024

Neuronal stem cells generate a limited and consistent number of neuronal progenies, each possessing distinct morphologies and functions. The precise production of neurons with distinct identities must be meticulously regulated throughout development to ensure optimal brain function. In our study, we focused on a neuroblast lineage in Drosophila known as Lin A/15, which gives rise to motoneurons (MNs) and glia. Interestingly, the Lin A/15 neuroblast dedicates 40% of its time to producing immature MNs that are subsequently eliminated through apoptosis. Two RNA-binding proteins, Imp and Syp, play crucial roles in this process of neuronal elimination. We found that Imp+ MNs survive, while Imp-, Syp+ MNs undergo apoptosis. Our results indicate that Imp promotes survival, whereas Syp promotes cell death in immature MNs. Furthermore, our investigations revealed that late-born motoneurons face elimination due to their failure to express a functional code of transcription factors that control their morphological fate (mTFs).Late-born MNs possess a unique and distinct set of TFs compared to early-born MNs. By manipulating the expression of Imp and Syp in late-born motoneurons, we observed a shift in the TF code of late MNs towards that of early-born MNs, resulting in their survival. Additionally, introducing the TF code of early MNs into late-born MNs also promoted their survival. These findings demonstrate that the differential expression of Imp and Syp in immature MNs establishes a connection between generating a precise number of MNs and producing MNs with distinct identities through the regulation of mTFs.Importantly, both Imp and Syp are conserved in vertebrates, suggesting that they play a central role in determining the number of neurons produced during development. The Drosophila model, along with its genetic tools, provides a unique opportunity to further explore and decipher the functions of these RNA-binding proteins in neural stem cells versus immature neurons. The insights gained from these studies could shed light on the broader mechanisms of neurogenesis and neuronal identity determination in more complex organisms.

The associations of age at diagnosis of breast cancer with incident myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF) remain unexamined. Addressing this problem could promote understanding of the cardiovascular impact of breast cancer.Data were from the UK Biobank. Information on the diagnosis of breast cancer, MI, and HF were collected at baseline and follow-ups (median=12.8 years). The propensity score matching method and Cox proportional hazards models were employed.A total of 251 277 female participants (mean age: 56.8±8.0 years), of whom 16 241 had breast cancer, were included. Among participants with breast cancer, younger age at diagnosis (per 10-year decrease) was significantly associated with elevated risks of MI (HR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.19 to 1.56,
P
<0.001) and HF (HR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.18 to 1.46,
P
<0.001). After propensity score matching, breast cancer patients with younger diagnosis ages had significantly higher risks of MI and HF than healthy controls.Younger age at diagnosis of breast cancer was associated with higher risks of incident MI and HF, underscoring the necessity to pay additional attention to the cardiovascular health of breast cancer patients diagnosed at younger ages to conduct timely interventions to attenuate the subsequent risks of incident cardiovascular diseases.

The members of the
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
complex (MTBC) causing human tuberculosis comprise ten phylogenetic lineages that differ in their geographical distribution. The human consequences of this phylogenetic diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed the phenotypic properties at the host-pathogen interface of 14 clinical strains representing five major MTBC lineages. Using a human
in vitro
granuloma model combined with bacterial load assessment, microscopy, flow cytometry, and multiplexed-bead arrays, we observed considerable intra-lineage diversity. Yet, modern lineages were overall associated with increased growth rate and more pronounced granulomatous responses. MTBC lineages exhibited distinct propensities to accumulate triglyceride lipid droplets —a phenotype associated with dormancy— that was particularly pronounced in lineage 2 and reduced in lineage 3 strains. The most favorable granuloma responses were associated with strong CD4 and CD8 T cell activation as well as inflammatory responses mediated by CXCL9, granzyme B and TNF-α. Both of which showed consistent negative correlation with bacterial proliferation across genetically distant MTBC strains of different lineages. Taken together, our data indicate that different virulence strategies and protective immune traits associate with MTBC genetic diversity at lineage and strain level.

Chemokine receptors are GPCRs that regulate the chemotactic migration of a wide variety of cells including immune and cancer cells. Most chemokine receptors contain features associated with the ability to stimulate G protein signaling during β-arrestin-mediated receptor internalization into endosomes. As endosomal signaling of certain non-GPCR receptors plays a major role in cell migration, we chose to investigate the potential role of endosomal chemokine receptor signaling on mechanisms governing this function. Applying a combination of pharmacological and cell biological approaches, we demonstrate that the model chemokine receptor CCR7 recruits G protein and β-arrestin simultaneously upon chemokine stimulation, which enables internalized receptors to activate G protein from endosomes. Furthermore, spatiotemporal-resolved APEX2 proteome profiling shows that endosomal CCR7 uniquely enriches specific Rho GTPase regulators as compared to plasma membrane CCR7, which is directly associated with enhanced activity of the Rho GTPase Rac1 and chemotaxis of immune T cells. As Rac1 drives the formation of membrane protrusions during chemotaxis, our findings suggest an important integrated function of endosomal chemokine receptor signaling in cell migration.
Metal Mesh Metasurfaces as Dual-Band Bandpass Filters for Terahertz Frequencies
Authors: Perov A.
Published: August 2024

In the paper, we propose a new strategy to design of metal mesh filters (MMFs) based on spatial symmetry analysis of bound states in the continuum(BICs) and manipulating and control with resonances, when BICs transformed to the resonances due to spatial perturbations in the MMF structure. The design of a dual-band polarization-insensitive terahertz bandpass filter with wide upper stopband characteristics using a single conducting layer patterned with rectangular holes is presented. The transmission response of the MMF with two poles is obtained to realize dual-band characteristics and three zeros to suppress the stopband. The proposed design has achieved broadband bandpass transmission characteristics under both TE and TM polarizations with canter frequencies at 0.516THz and 0.734THz and 3dB bandwidths of 25% and 17%, respectively, and upper stopband from 0.887THz to 1.6THz with over 10dB suppression.
Oportunidades de mejora en Espacios de Educación no Formal para el aprendizaje de las Ciencias Naturales en Educación Primaria

Published: August 2024

En este trabajo se presenta la propuesta de oportunidad de mejora en la que se analiza las ideas de los estudiantes sobre su aprendizaje, con énfasis en el lugar dónde consideran que aprenden Ciencias y propone mejoras mediante actividades en espacios de educación no formal (ENF) para observar el cambio en dichas ideas. Realizado en un segundo básico de una escuela particular-subvencionada en La Florida, Santiago, con 25 estudiantes participantes, el estudio identifica que las planificaciones estandarizadas ofrecen pocas oportunidades fuera del aula, a lo cual se realizaron dos salidas pedagógicas al Buin Zoo y al Museo de Historia Natural. La propuesta de trabajo incluye el análisis de las ideas a través de dibujos realizados por los estudiantes y enriquecido por una discusión a través de un grupo focal. Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes ampliaron su concepción del aprendizaje de las Ciencias, incluyendo ahora espacios como el zoológico y el museo, y que estas actividades promovieron emociones positivas y una mayor conexión con el conocimiento científico, subrayando la importancia de integrar experiencias de ENF en la educación formal para enriquecer y motivar el aprendizaje
Control predictivo basado en secuencia de conmutación óptima para un conversor de tres puertos aplicado a vehículos eléctricos

Published: August 2024

Multi-port power converters have a very important role today because they are used used in electromobility applications and hybrid energy storage systems (HESS). However, their optimal operation requires advanced control techniques due to the handling of multiple variables simultaneously. This thesis presents the development of an Optimal Switching Sequence (OSS) model predictive control (MPC) method applied to a three-port converter (TPC), which has been connected to an anisotropic permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) and two dc voltage sources (VS). Based on a review of TPCs, classical control methods and MPC methods, the converter used with its mathematical formulation is presented. Then, theoretical principles of vector modulation and the machine for the design of the current controller are presented. The latter is based on two steps, the first one uses the dynamic model of the machine to find the optimal seven-segment witching sequence (7S-SS) that reduces the value of an objective function without using weighting factors and the second one uses the redundant vectors (zero vectors) optimally distributed to control the current in another of the ports.The results validate the method by experimental and simulation tests. The strategy presents a defined harmonic distortion, without sacrificing the dynamic response. In addi tion, an implementation with asymmetric modulation reduces the tracking error by 65.36% and a delay compensation reduces it by 92%. Furthermore, the new strategy manages to reduce the optimization problems to be solved by the steady-state algorithm from 6 to 1. Thus, the proposed control becomes attractive for implementation in real hybrid sys tems, which impose challenges of durability, versatility and reliability to the electrical system.
