Published: April 2024

Background

The self-monitoring of physical activity is an effective strategy for promoting active lifestyles. However, accurately assessing physical activity remains challenging in certain situations. This study evaluates a novel floor-vibration monitoring system to quantify housework-related physical activity.

Objective

This study aims to assess the validity of step-count and physical behavior intensity predictions of a novel floor-vibration monitoring system in comparison with the actual number of steps and indirect calorimetry measurements. The accuracy of the predictions is also compared with that of research-grade devices (ActiGraph GT9X).

Methods

The Ocha-House, located in Tokyo, serves as an independent experimental facility equipped with high-sensitivity accelerometers installed on the floor to monitor vibrations. Dedicated data processing software was developed to analyze floor-vibration signals and calculate 3 quantitative indices: floor-vibration quantity, step count, and moving distance. In total, 10 participants performed 4 different housework-related activities, wearing ActiGraph GT9X monitors on both the waist and wrist for 6 minutes each. Concurrently, floor-vibration data were collected, and the energy expenditure was measured using the Douglas bag method to determine the actual intensity of activities.

Results

Significant correlations (P<.001) were found between the quantity of floor vibrations, the estimated step count, the estimated moving distance, and the actual activity intensities. The step-count parameter extracted from the floor-vibration signal emerged as the most robust predictor (r2=0.82; P<.001). Multiple regression models incorporating several floor-vibration–extracted parameters showed a strong association with actual activity intensities (r2=0.88; P<.001). Both the step-count and intensity predictions made by the floor-vibration monitoring system exhibited greater accuracy than those of the ActiGraph monitor.

Conclusions

Floor-vibration monitoring systems seem able to produce valid quantitative assessments of physical activity for selected housework-related activities. In the future, connected smart home systems that integrate this type of technology could be used to perform continuous and accurate evaluations of physical behaviors throughout the day.
e-Cigarette Tobacco Flavors, Public Health, and Toxicity: Narrative Review (Preprint)
Authors: Sun Yehao , Prabhu Prital , Rahman Ryan , Li Dongmei , McIntosh Scott , Rahman Irfan
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND

Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration implemented enforcement priorities against all flavored, cartridge-based e-cigarettes other than menthol and tobacco flavors. This ban undermined the products’ appeal to vapers, so e-cigarette manufacturers added flavorants of other attractive flavors into tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes and reestablished appeal.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to analyze the impact of the addition of other flavorants in tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes on both human and public health issues and to propose further research as well as potential interventions.

METHODS

Searches for relevant literature published between 2018 and 2023 were performed. Cited articles about the toxicity of e-cigarette chemicals included those published before 2018, and governmental websites and documents were also included for crucial information.

RESULTS

Both the sales of e-cigarettes and posts on social media suggested that the manufacturers’ strategy was successful. The reestablished appeal causes not only a public health issue but also threats to the health of individual vapers. Research has shown an increase in toxicity associated with the flavorants commonly used in flavored e-cigarettes, which are likely added to tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes based on tobacco-derived and synthetic tobacco-free nicotine, and these other flavors are associated with higher clinical symptoms not often induced solely by natural, traditional tobacco flavors.

CONCLUSIONS

The additional health risks posed by the flavorants are pronounced even without considering the toxicological interactions of the different tobacco flavorants, and more research should be done to understand the health risks thoroughly and to take proper actions accordingly for the regulation of these emerging products.

Representing Sexual Assault and Trauma in Una’s Becoming Unbecoming and Courtney Summers’s All the Rage
Authors: Mehdya Mehdya
Published: April 2024

The paper aims to explore the representation of sexual violence against women in two different mediums and to demonstrate the relevance of graphic novels by comparing and contrasting the graphic novel of Una’s Becoming Unbecoming with the traditional novel of Courtney Summers’s All the Rage. Through the application of theory of Intermediality, the paper aims to unearth the sexual violence faced by women in selected texts. The author of the graphic narrative employs language and visuals to portray the incidents and aftereffects of sexual assault and trauma. In contrast, the traditional novel presents the problem of sexual violence through stand-alone text. The research paper’s focal point is that graphic narrative thematizes intermediality and conveys the issue of sexual assault in a way that is far more effective than a traditional novel in terms of raising awareness. In Becoming Unbecoming, text and pictures relate to each other and communicate meaning in numerous ways, but in All the Rage, the text is given meaning through language only.

El pensamiento crítico de Donna Haraway: complejidad, ecofeminismo y cosmopolítica
Authors: Araiza Díaz Verónica
Published: April 2024

Este trabajo se propone mostrar el pensamiento crítico de DonnaHaraway, una de las autoras más sugerentes de la teoría social contemporánea. Se toman aspectos de su trabajo que se presumen distintivos de su manera de articular una reflexión profunda y amplia del mundo que habitamos. Éstese encuentra en un momento límite, genéricamente denominado Antropoceno, y para algunos autores es insuperable. Haraway considera que el daño al planeta es irreversible en cierta forma y, por lo tanto, la cura sólo puede ser parcial. Propone una manera distinta de mirar la vida y de desarrollar nuevas formas de relación que ella denomina multiespecie, de este modo señala que se trata de un asunto más allá de lo humano. Su crítica se orienta a modificar los paisajes actuales y echa mano de la complejidad, los feminismos y las perspectivas políticas que parten de la filosofía de la ciencia.
De “temibles sabandijas” y “ponzoñosas alimañas”. Los insectos contra el “progreso” de la América colonial
Authors: Peralta Agudelo Jaime Andrés
Published: April 2024

Los insectos formaron parte de los estudios de la ciencia ilustrada durante el siglo xviii e inicios del xix. Tomando al ámbito del virreinato de la Nueva Granada, y desde la óptica de la historia cultural de los animales, se analizarán en este artículo algunos aspectos de los contenidos y de los significados inmateriales sobre la entomofauna tropical que, más allá de los informes científicos, sirvieron a las élites ilustradas para articular un discurso de intervención social, cultural y política sobre las zonas todavía no controladas y explotadas por el sistema colonial. Aquellas “temibles sabandijas” eran la muestra evidente de que se debía abatir el medio natural de las regiones cálidas; lucrar con los tesoros botánicos y zoológicos que allí se escondían; y, por supuesto, homogeneizar culturalmente a los grupos humanos igualmente “salvajes”, pues de este modo podrían asentarse aquellos que se percibían a sí mismos como los voceros del “progreso” y de la “civilización”.

Authors: Laris Pardo Jorge Alejandro
Published: April 2024

Lamáquina de rayos X llegó a Yucatán desde comienzos del siglo XX. Este artículo estudia, no la primacía, sino la manera en que la nueva tecnología se inmiscuyó en el mundo de la clínica. Estamáquina irrumpió en el campo médico en un momento histórico en el que las técnicas de diagnóstico y curación experimentaban transformaciones capitales. Yucatán era entonces un entorno moldeado por antiguas costumbres, por lo que el futuro lugar de esta tecnología en la práctica médica era incierto e indeterminado. En este artículo exploraremos la manera en la cual los médicos locales utilizaron e incorporaron esta máquina en sus técnicas de diagnóstico y tratamiento, así como la forma en que contribuyó a cambiar las dinámicas de las relaciones entre el médico y sus pacientes.
Resignificaciones étnicas desde la universidad entre jóvenes mayas o de origen maya
Authors: Ramos Arcos Víctor Hugo
Published: April 2024

Este trabajo aborda los procesos de construcción identitaria entre los jóvenes mayas o de origen maya en la universidad. Se da cuenta de cómo desde la experiencia universitaria, los jóvenes se reconocen de variadas formas en torno a su identidad étnica, en donde algunos desarrollan conformaciones distantes, mientras que otros atraviesan por profundos procesos de revalorización. Laresignificación identitaria de tipo instrumental muestra el impacto de las políticas lingüísticas que promueven la contratación de profesionales hablantes de lenguas indígenas en las instituciones del Estado que atienden a la población indígena. En tanto, quienes profundizan en su identidad étnica, suelen resignificarlaa partir de los conocimientos apropiados en la universidad, lo cual resulta en singulares expresiones artísticas. Otros, desde la etnicidad elaboran discursos y memoria histórica sobre lo maya, los cuales muchas veces entran en conflicto con actores institucionales o de generaciones pasadas. Derivado de estos procesos identitarios, se aborda la diferenciación intergeneracional y generacional en torno al género, la educación y la religión.
Preámbulo. Evolución económica del turismo en Yucatán 2006-2018
Authors: Paz Noriega Raúl , Quiñones Aguilar Álvaro
Published: April 2024

El turismo es una actividad económica dinámica y en rápida expansión en el mundo. En las últimas décadas, el movimiento de turistas ha alcanzado importantes niveles de crecimiento, sin precedentes en la historia de la humanidad. Conforme la sociedad ha evolucionado, sobre todo a partir del periodo que va del término de la Segunda Guerra Mundial a la fecha, se han hecho más asequibles los medios de transporte aéreo, terrestre y marítimo; se ha incrementado el ingreso de las familias y se ha avanzado en materia de derechos laborales —más visible en los países desarrollados y algunos en vías de desarrollo— lo que ha consolidado un mercado turístico cada vez más maduro y diversificado.El surgimiento del internet y el comercio electrónico también ha contribuido a acelerar el turismo. La masificación de la industria de viajes ha llevado en la actualidad a considerar un replanteamiento y debate de los beneficios del turismo, revaluando los efectos positivos y negativos que producen los grandes volúmenes de visitantes sobre los recursos naturales, culturales y humanos de los centros turísticos, tal y como ha sido la experiencia vivida en ciudades como Barcelona, Venecia, Ámsterdam o Dubrovnik, por mencionar algunos casos destacados.Del lado de la oferta, el surgimiento de los sistemas de reservaciones on-line, los globalizadores (GDS) y plataformas como Airbnb, Uber y el uso del Bitcoin, están revolucionando la también llamada “industria sin chimeneas”, donde los prestadores de servicios turísticos tradicionales como los hoteles, las aerolíneas y las agencias de viajes, por mencionar los más conocidos, han sufrido una verdadera transformación en los últimos años.Según cifras de la Organización Mundial de Turismo (OMT), durante 2018 se registró la llegada de más de 1 400 millones de turistas internacionales, una cifra récord. Previsiones del mismo organismo señalan que para 2030 se estará superando la llegada de 1 800 millones de turistas internacionales.En este sentido, México es actualmente unos de los destinos preferidos para los turistas internacionales, el séptimo más visitado según el último ranking mundial de la omt. Cifras del Banco de México muestran que, durante 2018, nuestro país recibió un total acumulado de 41.3 millones de turistas internacionales (con pernocta), además de 55.2 millones de excursionistas (46.9 millones de excursionistas fronterizos y 8.3 millones de pasajeros de cruceros).En contraste con el destacado lugar que se ocupa respecto al arribo de visitantes internacionales, México se ubica en el lugar décimo sexto en la captación de ingresos de divisas por este concepto. Según cifras oficiales, durante 2018 nuestro país captó 22.5 mil millones de dólares procedentes del turismo internacional, lo que permite vislumbrar el reto para que esta actividad genere mayores ingresos para los involucrados en un futuro próximo.

Abstract: The shell-and-tube heat exchanger's geometric configuration is optimized during the design development phase by taking into account various aspects like baffle spacing, tube arrangement, and overall system integration. Incorporating a blower into the system results in improved air circulation and effective heat transfer. By placing the band heater in a strategic location, air is heated precisely and locally, which helps to create a more responsive and controlled heating process. One essential tool for assessing the system's thermal and fluid dynamics is CFD analysis. The heat exchanger, blower, and band heater components' fluid flow patterns, temperature distributions, and pressure gradients are investigated through simulations. The CFD analysis provides valuable insights that guide design modifications aimed at optimizing heat transfer rates, minimizing pressure drops, and improving the integrated system's overall performance
Automatic Bus Fare Collection System Using RFID
Authors: Pavani Dr. B.
Published: April 2024

Abstract: India is the second largest populated country in the world so most of the people use public transport. During peak hours issuing tickets to each passenger manually is time consuming and tedious task and also a problem. The probability of ticket fraud is also high in this case. Since the tickets are made of papers it leads to deforestation and these tickets are of no use once when the passenger gets out of the bus. So in order to overcome all these difficulties we have a Smart ticketing system that is proposed using RFID to issue tickets to passengers. In order to ensure the passengers journey with no quarrels and mesh we employ this solution that replaces the traditional paper ticketing by electronic cards, vended through automated machine using smart cards, which improves the convenience and security of transaction. This project actually suggests a much more public friendly, automated system of ticketing with the use of RFID based tickets. Automatic Fare Collection System is implemented in this project through RFID (Smart) card. RFID card is given to the passenger and when passenger enters to the bus, he has to scan the card in the RFID reader. All the record will update automatically in the server continuously. RFID system through automated machine enables the passenger to predetermine the transport details. The control circuit is designed using arduino controller that will be interfaced with a DC motor to identify the distance travelled by the passenger to collect the fare amount. In addition a LCD is used for displaying the data.

(Materials and methods) They showed individual trajectories of the forklift truck in the warehouse using innovative technologies, offered empirical dependencies that give a clear idea of the possible routes from the place of loading to the place of unloading and vice versa. (Results and discussion) Experimental studies on the implementation and implementation of the digital operation system of forklifts were carried out at the enterprise «Orinino» of the Morgaushsky district of Chuvashia. It was determined that as a result of using the new digital system, having information about a specific warehouse, transportation assignment, weight, dimensions and other characteristics of the cargo, it is possible to create an eventual optimized loader trajectory as a combination of linear and nonlinear sections. At the same time, the speed and the value of the permissible angle of rotation are set all along the way, and a database with data compiled in advance for a specific warehouse allows you to «suggest the direction» to the loader to the eventual optimal path in the event of various kinds of deviations from the intended trajectory that are inevitable for the real case of operation. (Conclusions) Intelligent control of a forklift truck using a digital operation system will provide a direct impact on increasing its productivity in the warehouses of the agro-industrial complex.

Preliminary studies of copper and copper-zinc coatings obtained by gas-dynamic spraying have shown high mechanical and tribological properties of the formed functional surfaces. The influence of the modes of spraying and subsequent heat treatment on copper-zinc gas dynamic coatings has been little studied. (Research purpose) The research purpose is investigating the effect of technological modes of spraying, as well as subsequent heat treatment of the coating on its phase composition, structure and properties. (Materials and methods) The coating was applied using a Dimet gas dynamic installation with different overlap of the sprayed layers and subsequent heat treatment of the resulting coating at different temperatures and exposure times. The structure of the coating was studied using an X-ray diffractometer and a spectrometer. Cohesive properties were determined on a bursting testing machine by the "ring separation" method, tribological properties were determined on the MT-8 stand during reciprocating sliding of flat mating bodies. (Results and discussion) It was determined that the chemical and phase composition of the copper-zinc coating applied with a displacement of the nozzle by two millimeters and an air flow temperature of 450 degrees Celsius, after heat treatment in the temperature range of 420-430 degrees Celsius and a holding time of 180 minutes corresponds to two-phase brass type L65. The study of the parameters of the copper lattice shows that after exposure in the furnace for 60 minutes, a two-phase structure is formed based on solid solutions of zinc in copper with different copper content and an electronic-type solid solution based on CuZn. (Conclusions) Tribological tests of the copper-zinc coating in the I-20A industrial oil medium revealed the presence of mutual mass transfer of copper and zinc from the coating to the counterbody and vice versa, which is accompanied by a wear-free effect at a load of up to 10 megapascals. The cohesive strength of the copper-zinc coating depends on the time of heat treatment (phase composition) and after 60 minutes of exposure exceeds the initial values (approximately 78 megapascals) and reaches approximately 93 megapascals.

Numerous publications in the open press on the restoration of crankshaft necks by various methods are known. They provide recommendations for applying coatings to worn necks. However, most work lacks studies on the change in fatigue strength and wear resistance of crankshafts. (Research purpose) The research purpose is studying the technological features of recovering the crankshafts due to their aging during operation. (Materials and methods) As objects of research, crankshafts of diesel engines of various repair sizes were selected. The surface hardness of the necks was studied using portable hardometers in the zone of the greatest and least wear. The data were processed using mathematical methods and compared with allowable hardness values for new and worn necks. Fatigue tests were carried out on machines when the bending moment was loaded along a symmetrical cycle before the appearance of a fatigue crack and final destruction for various coating methods. (Results and discussion) The surface hardness of the necks of extremely worn shafts is reduced by 10 HRC compared to the hardness for new shafts. The reason for the decrease is due to the operation of the neck in dry friction conditions, which causes heating of the surface and, as a result, tempering. The limit of endurance of limit worn shafts in comparison with the limit of endurance of new crankshafts is reduced by 20-25 percent. This is due to the accumulation of fatigue failures. Laser hardening is proposed to increase life of worn-out shafts with reduced hardness. Technological features have been developed for restoring the necks of extremely worn crankshafts. (Conclusions) The aging of crankshafts occurs with a decrease in surface hardness by 10 HRC units and a decrease in the endurance limit by 20-25 persent. Invention proposes laser thermal resistance of necks with reduced hardness, which increases wear resistance by 1.9- 2.6 times.

One of the effective ways to intensify technological processes in the agricultural sector and at the facilities of the agro-industrial complex is the automation of cargo transportation both inside production and storage facilities and between the facilities of livestock and crop production complexes. Complex automation is possible on the basis of adaptive methods of vehicle management, taking into account fluctuations in the parameters of technological processes due to weather, organizational and other factors. (Research purpose) The research purpose is evaluating the prospects of using adaptive systems with external load forecasting for automatic control of autonomous electrified platforms in non-deterministic conditions. (Materials and methods) The structure of adaptive flow control of an electrified platform is proposed. It is shown that the greatest effect in undetermined conditions is created by systems that combine the functions of self-organization and self-tuning. The complementary implementation of these functions allows you to get the maximum effect in adaptive automatic control with significant changes in external conditions. (Results and discussion) Based on the proposed complex dependence of the moment of the resistance forces on time and the angle of rotation of the drive, a new variant of the approach to modeling the external load acting on the drive is recommended. Zero, first and second order models are considered, for which power and kinematic vectors are given. (Conclusions) Taking into account the dynamically changing external load on the drive of rotational motion, it is proposed to use power and kinetic vectors characterizing the movement of the drive link. The use of zero, first and second order models makes it possible to organize effective adaptive control of an electrified platform at all phases of its movement. This makes it possible to use the proposed approach in transport and technological systems at agribusiness facilities.
