Biofilia e arquitetura: apresentação de alguns projetos do Studio Arthur Casas
Authors: Pattaro Miriam
Published: April 2024

De acordo com estudos recentes, a arquitetura apresenta-se como uma área que não apenas volta-se para construções belas ou práticas, mas também é responsável por criar espaços que promovem o bem-estar integral do ser humano. O conceito de biofilia, ao ser aplicado à arquitetura, nos leva a perceber como projetos arquitetônicos suscitam os sentidos humanos e  dessa forma proporcionam ao indivíduo uma interação com o ambiente, altamente benéfica em vários sentidos. Existem índices que mostram quais situações são responsáveis por isso, e como promovem esse bem-estar. O que esse artigo apresenta, além do conceito de biofilia, aplicado à arquitetura, são alguns desses índices e como são perceptíveis em determinados projetos do Studio Arthur Casas. Para isso, além de um levantamento bibliográfico, também foi feita uma análise de algumas construções arquitetônicas sob esses parâmetros, consistindo-se assim esse trabalho em um estudo exploratório e descritivo. As obras apresentadas e analisadas, de finalidades diversas, deixam evidente como uma construção arquitetônica pode contribuir para  o equilíbrio físico e emocional do ser humano, através de elementos que remetem sobretudo à natureza e a relação essencial que tem com ela .

Tendo em vista a projeção do aumento dessa faixa etária, o complexo habitacional teve a intenção de desenvolver um projeto com vários ambientes adequados quanto a iluminação, ventilação, acessibilidade, mobilidade, promovendo assim, o senso de lar a essa instituição.
reapropriação das margens do Rio Lençóis como parque urbano e linear na cidade de Lençóis Paulista (SP)
Authors: Cremer Maiara Aparecida , Padilha Montanheiro Fabiana
Published: April 2024

O crescimento das cidades e o enclausuramento dos rios, causou inúmeros impactos nestes espaços onde deveriam ser áreas de proteção ambiental (APP), ocasionando inundações, alagamentos, poluição do curso d’água e extinção da mata ciliar. Antes mesmo destes impactos serem pautados da forma que ocorrem atualmente, surgiram os parques urbanos no século XVIII com o objetivo de trazer o “campo ao meio urbano” como uma forma de lazer. Com o passar dos anos, os parques foram implantados em áreas críticas com uma forma de recuperar áreas degradadas pelas interferências humanas. Na cidade de Lençóis Paulista, no interior do estado de São Paulo, houveram interferências que não foram favoráveis para o desenvolvimento sustentável as margens do Rio Lençóis, embora seu leito retificado ou canalizado, ocupações inadequadas tornaram o rio anônimo, entretanto lesivo ao meio citadino. A fim de promover a recuperação de um trecho crítico de área de proteção ambiental na cidade de Lençóis Paulista, este trabalho embasado nas leis ambientais da desapropriação de edificações existentes, e assim, através de conceitos arquitetônicos, propõe a criação de um parque urbano e linear gerando uma área com atividades de lazer, cultura, sustentabilidade e entretenimento para a população visando o desenvolvimento de práticas resilientes.
Projeto de um edifício para Administração Municipal de Agudos-SP
Authors: Muro Guilherme , A Silva Pinto Eduardo d
Published: April 2024

As cidades, em sua grande maioria, cresceram sem nenhum planejamento urbano, com isso para atender as demandas da população as infraestruturas municipais surgiram de formas aleatórias e separadas, acarretando a ineficiência dos serviços públicos no que tange a economia de gastos e a mobilidade urbana. O projeto tem como base a solução dessa problemática com um edifício que abrigará e unirá as repartições públicas municipais em um único espaço, capaz de elevar o rendimento, a eficiência dos serviços, a interação dos seres com o meio através da arquitetura dialógica e ainda, por consequência à economia financeira nos cofres públicos. Desse modo, o trabalho visa conscientizar e despertar o interesse do poder público para a implantação do projeto.

Determinants of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination intention among students
Authors: Milošević-Gačević Marijana , Petrović Sandra
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the virus that is most often associated with cancers. Cervical cancer is one of the leading public health problems, especially in developing countries. In the Republic of Serbia, cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the female population amongst all malignant diseases, and HPV infection is the most important risk factor for the occurrence of this disease. This study aims to identify the determinants of adolescent HPV vaccination intention. Materials and methods: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study including a total of 748 students, aged 12 -19 years, from one high school and two elementary schools in Šabac. The research instrument was a questionnaire, particularly constructed for this study. Multiple regression analysis was applied to examine the predictive model for explaining the HPV vaccination intention in young people. Results: The proposed model explains 66% of HPV vaccination intention in young people. The strongest predictor of HPV vaccination intention in young people relates to the subjective norm, i.e., social pressure from peers and other people who are important to them. Distrust of the benefit of vaccination, concern about commercial profiteering, and belief in a "vaccine conspiracy" have a significantly smaller but statistically significant contribution in explaining HPV vaccination intention amongst our youth. Conclusion: Increasing social pressure to get vaccinated, as well as changing certain attitudes and beliefs about vaccines in general, may lead to an increase in the intention of young people to get vaccinated against HPV. Understanding the key aspects of the attitudes of young people in Serbia towards HPV vaccination opens the possibility of creating evidence-based public health policies and planning targeted health-educational interventions directed at the identified findings.
Third-party claims and/or direct-action lawsuits against insurers: A step toward sustainable liability insurance
Authors: Lončar Nikola
Published: April 2024

This paper aims to provide a detailed analysis of how an injured party can assert their right to compensation in motor vehicle liability insurance. It covers the procedures for compensating damages both in extrajudicial (out-of-court) processes and in judicial proceedings. The goal is to examine the procedures, rights, and obligations of both the injured party and the insurer in the compensation process for motor vehicle liability insurance. The established procedure for compensation indicates that the Serbian legislator leans towards reducing the number of compensation lawsuits by mandating that the injured party first address the insurer in an extrajudicial (out-of-court) process by filing a claim for compensation.
The importance of customer communication in insurance activities
Authors: Ćirić Zoran
Published: April 2024

In the traditional insurance business, customers usually only hear or see their insurer when they take out a policy or renew an existing one. However, as other industries have put the customer at the center and customers have become accustomed to this type of relationship, this approach is no longer sufficient to maintain business communication. As the financial sector becomes increasingly complex and comprehensive, insurers are also expected to improve their communication skills. Above all, the constant exchange of information with customers will help them to better understand the financial services provided by the insurance industry. This in turn will influence the development of their awareness of the risks that surround us and the need to manage these risks properly. In addition, all insurance industry representatives will cite the lack of customer awareness of the importance of insurance as one of the biggest problems or the major problem for the development and improvement of the sector. They will also emphasize that it is the responsibility of all market participants to work on educating customers and service users.
Reactions and plans of the state leadership of Serbia and Montenegro during the crisis in Kosovo and Metohija (march 17-19, 2004)
Authors: Dimitrijević Nemanja
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the reactions and plans of the state leadership of Serbia and Montenegro during the crisis in Kosovo and Metohija in March 17-19, 2004, when radicalized groups of Kosovo Albanians expelled more than 4,000 Serbs from their homes. The same radicalized groups burned and destroyed 35 churches of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The state leadership of Serbia and Montenegro monitored the situation in Kosovo and Metohija and was ready to engage the army with the task of creating the humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija to Serbia. During the crisis, the state leadership of Serbia and Montenegro did not send the army to Kosovo and Metohija because KFOR units stopped the expulsion of Serbs and the destruction of the cultural heritage of Serbian people

Sobre el concepto de poder constituyente
Authors: De Miguel Bárcena Josu
Published: April 2024

Esta Tribuna de Josu de Miguel parte de la reciente publicación de la traducción al español del libro de Egon Zweig, titulado La teoría del poder constituyente (Tecnos, 2023). El libro, publicado en 1909, en el contexto de la renovación del Derecho público austriaco y europeo que estaban llevando a cabo nombres como Hans Kelsen, Walter Jellinek o Adolf Merkel, suministra desde la perspectiva de la historia de las ideas un detallado informe sobre la aparición, desarrollo y consolidación de la noción tradicional de poder constituyente. Para ello, el autor realiza un viaje fascinante, laberíntico y complejísimo desde la Grecia clásica a los últimos coletazos de la Revolución francesa.

 

A partir de algunas reflexiones sobre el libro, Josu de Miguel se adentra en el análisis del concepto del poder constituyente, intentando “mostrar que en el marco de la posmodernidad ya no es posible dibujar un poder constituyente arquetípico que como un demiurgo pueda levantar una ciudad política de nueva factura”. Y ello porque, como nos dice el autor, evocando a Koselleck, “La sociedad de las singularidades, la densidad del Derecho realizado fuera de los muros del Estado y el peso de los intereses y derechos consolidados, hacen hoy más conveniente abrirse a un paradigma meliorista que, en cierto modo, sitúa al poder constituyente en un plano conceptual que mira más a la experiencia y al presente que a la expectativa y al futuro. En el fondo ello es consecuencia no solo del cambio de relación de la Constitución con el tiempo, sino de la incapacidad creciente del Derecho como disciplina eficaz para dirigir una realidad cada vez más compleja e inasible”.
Teoría de las obligaciones positivas del Estado en virtud del artículo 2.1 de la Convención para proteger la vida de las personas con trastornos mentales en instituciones psiquiátricas estatales. Análisis de la jurisprudencia del TEDH
Authors: Fernández Picazo Miriam
Published: April 2024

La interpretación del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos ha llevado al desarrollo de la teoría de las obligaciones positivas del Estado derivadas del artículo 2, cuyo cometido es proteger la vida de las personas. Aunque estas obligaciones pueden surgir en cualquier contexto, son especialmente pertinentes en el caso de las personas con trastornos mentales internadas en instituciones psiquiátricas estatales, donde los pacientes pueden suponer un riesgo para sí mismos. Cuando se produce un acto de este tipo, más aún cuando se llega al fatal suceso del suicidio, entra en juego la responsabilidad del Estado. Sin embargo, el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos ha subrayado que no debe imponerse a los Estados un deber de prevención desproporcionado, sino que la obligación de proteger la vida de los pacientes debe ajustarse a las circunstancias razonables de cada caso. Para determinar si se ha producido una violación del derecho a la vida y si las autoridades son responsables, el Tribunal considera dos factores. En primer lugar, examina si la institución psiquiátrica había establecido un marco legislativo para proteger la vida de los pacientes. En segundo lugar, si el caso supera la prueba de Osman, demostrando que las autoridades sabían o deberían haber sabido que existía un riesgo real e inmediato de atentado contra la vida y, aun así, no adoptaron las medidas adecuadas. No obstante, según la jurisprudencia, parece que la responsabilidad del Estado tiene un alcance limitado, ya que no se suelen superar los elevados criterios establecidos por el Tribunal. Las circunstancias que rodean los casos analizados en este artículo así lo demuestran.

Quantitative analysis of heavy metals and nutrients in food helps indicate the safety and quality of food for final consumers. The present study was conducted to assess the presence of heavy metals (arsenic, copper, mercury, chromium, and lead) and the nutritional value of calcium in branded milk and yogurt to evaluate health risks for consumers. Ten (10) samples of branded milk and dairy products manufactured in Nigeria were purchased. The metal contents of the samples were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The concentrations of calcium in the milk samples were between 9.33 ± 0.0023 and 18 ± 0.0071 ppm and were detected in all samples. Arsenic concentrations ranged from 0.45 ± 0.00042 to 2.48 ± 0.00064 ppm in eight branded samples but were undetected in two samples. Chromium levels were undetected in most samples, except for two with concentrations of 0.12±0.00049 ppm and 0.23±0.00021 ppm, respectively. Copper ranged from 0.032±0.00021 ppm to 0.129±0.00021 ppm in six samples. Mercury levels were detected in six samples at a concentration of 1.0±1.0 ppm. Lead concentrations ranged from 0.15±0.00064 to 0.29±0.00028 ppm in three samples. The study found heavy metals above the ideal concentration in branded milk and dairy products in Nigeria, highlighting the need for quality control measures during production to prevent contamination.

Published: April 2024

The burden of epilepsy in developing countries made medicinal plants like Xylopia aethiopica fruit; Khaya grandifoliola, Alstonia boonei etc an alternative source in epilepsy management in the south-western part of Nigeria. The aim of the study was to provide pharmacological rationale for the ethnomedicinal use of the plants in epilepsy management. The oral medial lethal dose of methanol stem bark extracts of Alstonia boonei (MEAB) and Khaya grandifoliola (MEKG) and methanol fruit extract of Xylopia aethiopica (MEXAF) were done in accordance with the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development guideline. Quantitative and qualitative phytochemical profiling of the extracts was done. Anticonvulsant screening was carried out on the extracts (doses: 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg) using the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizure and maximum electroshock tests (MEST). Results showed that the MEXAF has the highest amount of phytochemicals except for saponins in MEKG; and MEAB with the least amount (but higher alkaloid) than MEKG. The TLC showed different bands of spots of the extracts. In the PTZ test, MEXAF showed 100 % protection against mortality at 300 mg/kg; MEAB with 66.67 % protection at 75 mg/kg and MEKG 0 % protection. MEAB, MEKG and MEXAF nonsignificantly increased the onset of seizure and latency to death. In the MEST, MEXAF, MEKG and MEAB at 75 mg/kg protected 50, 33.3 and 16.67% of the animals against tonic hind limb extension respectively and nonsignificantly (p˃0.05) decreased recovery time except MEXAF which significantly (p<0.05) decreased the recovery time at a dose of 75 mg/kg. It was concluded that the extracts possess anticonvulsant activities hence, the pharmacological credence for the ethnomedicinal use of these plants in treating epilepsy.
APPLICATION OF A HYDROPHILIC BIOPOLYMER OBTAINED FROM PENNISETUM GLAUCUM SEED FIBRE AS BINDER IN ALBENDAZOLE CHEWABLE TABLET FORMULATION
Authors: NWACHUKWU NKEMAKOLAM , OMEERAM  KPOKPOWEI JESSICA
Published: April 2024

Natural polymers with enhanced binding properties in tablet formulation continue to be highly sought over synthetic materials. This study aims to evaluate the binding properties of a hydrophilic biopolymer derived from the modification of the seed fibre of Pennisetum glaucum (TP) in the manufacture of albendazole chewable tablets. Dry TP seeds were steeped in water for 24h, washed, wet milled, and the fibre separated from the starch by washing slurry with water through a muslin cloth. Fibre of TP was dried at 60°C, screened through 180µm sieve (TP-NF). An 800 g of TP-NF was dispersed in 3.0L of 3.5% w/v sodium hypochlorite for 30 min, washed with distilled water to neutral pH, dispersed in 90% v/v ethanol for 10 min and dried at 60°C (TP-MC). The fibre was classified (180µm) and characterised using standard methods. Albendazole tablets were formulated using 5, 7.5, 10 and 15% w/w of the biopolymers by wet granulation. Avicel PH 101 was used as comparing standard binder. The dried albendazole granules were micromeritically evaluated while tablets made from the granules were evaluated for their physical properties, assay and dissolution studies. TP-MC powder flowed and compressed better than TP-NF, while albendazole granules had better flow and compressibility than TP-NF and TP-MC. The albendazole tablets were fairly strong and varied minimally in weight. Friability was <1%, and > 80% of albendazole was released from the tablets within 15 min. TP-MC served more effectively than TP-NF and compared favourably with Avicel PH 101 as binder in the formulation of albendazole tablets.
GC-MS ANALYSIS, CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORY AND ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIALS OF ZAPOTECA PORTORICENSIS (JACQ.) H.M. HERN (FABACEAE) ROOT EXTRACTS
Authors: OJOGBANE ONOJA JOEL
Published: April 2024

The age-related neurodegenerative illness known as Alzheimer's disease (AD) is typified by the unavoidable decline in cognitive function. Existing drugs has limitations, therefore there is an urgent need for new neurotherapeutic agents. There has been a lot of excitement in recent years about finding therapeutic herbs that can restore cognitive impairment due to their lower side effects. The aim of the study is to evaluate the cholinesterase inhibitory and antioxidant potentials of Zapoteca portoricensis (Jacq.) H.M. Hern root extracts and also identify the bioactive molecules present. Ellman colorimetric assay was used to evaluate the cholinesterase inhibitory potentials of various extracts at 1 mg/mL. The antioxidant potentials of extracts were evaluated using in-vitro chemical analysis. GC-MS was used to identify bioactive molecules from most active extract. One-way ANOVA at α0.05 was adopted. Ethyl acetate extract showed the highest acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = 0.149±0.00 mg/mL) and butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 = 0.393±0.02 mg/mL) inhibitory potential as compared to eserine for AChE (IC50 = 0.051±0.01 mg/mL) and for BuChE (IC50 = 0.049±0.00 mg/mL). Ethyl acetate extract also demonstrated its potential to chelate metals (IC50 = 0.106±0.02 mg/mL) as compared to EDTA (IC50 = 0.086±0.00 mg/mL). The DPPH radical scavenging potential was higher in ethyl acetate extract (IC50 = 0.082±0.05 mg/mL) when compared to vitamin C (IC50 = 0.008±0.00 mg/mL). The total antioxidant capacity of extracts revealed that ethyl acetate extract also has the highest concentration (125.5±14.3 mg/g AAE/g of extract (R2=0.9276)). The GC-MS analysis of ethyl acetate extract revealed the presence of 62 compounds which includes n-Hexadecanoic acid (RT 14.81, Area % 10.03), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)- (RT 15.97, Area % 10.03), cis-9-Hexadecenal (RT 16.01, Area % 8.36). The ethyl acetate extract from the root of Zapoteca portoricensis has the aptitude to prolong the half-life of acetylcholine by its ability to inhibit cholinesterase enzyme.

Protecting Data Access Liabilities in Cloud Computing
Authors: Islam Md.Mafiqul
Published: April 2024

Cloud computing revolutionizes service provision by delivering virtualized services via the internet. The Cloud, a ubiquitous term for this online space, is managed by service providers. However, users engaging with cloud services face concerns regarding data security and privacy, fearing potential misuse by service providers, who may inadvertently expose sensitive data to unauthorized parties. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel framework called the Cloud Information Accountability (CIA) framework, centered on the concept of data liability. Our framework outlines essential requirements and offers guidelines for achieving robust data accountability in cloud environments. Upon data submission by the owner, the service provider gains full access and control over the data, typically governed by traditional access control mechanisms. To enhance transparency and accountability, we propose an algorithm that automates data access logging via JAR files, providing detailed insights into data usage. Our approach aims to bolster trust, mitigate privacy concerns, and fortify security in cloud computing ecosystems.
Data Guardianship: Safeguarding Compliance in AI/ML Cloud Ecosystems
Authors: Bayani Samir Vinayak , Prakash Sanjeev , Shanmugam Lavanya
Published: April 2024

AI has found widespread application across various sectors, including security, healthcare, finance, and national defense. However, alongside its transformative advancements, there has been an unfortunate trend of malicious exploitation of AI capabilities. Concurrently, the rapid evolution of cloud computing technology has introduced cloud-based AI systems. Regrettably, vulnerabilities inherent in cloud computing infrastructure also pose risks to the security of AI services. We observe that the integrity of training data is pivotal, as any compromise therein directly impacts the efficacy of AI systems. Against this backdrop, we assert the paramount importance of preserving data integrity within AI systems. To address this imperative, we propose a data integrity architecture guided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cyber security framework. Leveraging block chain technology and smart contracts emerges as a fitting solution to tackle integrity challenges, owing to their characteristics of shared and decentralized ledgers. Smart contracts facilitate automated policy enforcement, enable continuous monitoring of data integrity, and mitigate the risk of data tampering.
Interdisciplinaridade na Formação de Professores de Matemática: a experiência do projeto PIBID/IFPA
Authors: Figueiredo Raimundo Otoni Melo
Published: April 2024

Nas publicações sobre pesquisa e ensino de matemática, diversos autores apontam a relevância da interdisciplinaridade, visto que possibilita a interconexão dos conhecimentos científicos, pedagógicos e socioculturais no processo formativo. Os documentos que tratam sobre os princípios da educação nacional apontam a necessidade de ruptura com o formato de ensino descontextualizado, compartimentalizado e baseado no acúmulo de informações. Desta forma, é indispensável que as práticas educativas tenham como objetivo dar significado ao conhecimento escolar, além de incentivar o raciocínio e a capacidade de aprender, de forma contextualizada e interdisciplinar. Nesta perspectiva, este artigo tem como objetivo discutir sobre os fundamentos epistemológicos e pedagógicos da interdisciplinaridade, que fundamentaram as práticas educativas interdisciplinares desenvolvidas no projeto de iniciação à docência em Matemática, no âmbito do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) do IFPA.

Koronapandemialla on esitetty olevan pitkäkestoisia seurauksia erityisesti haavoittuvassa asemassa oleville perheille, mutta tällaisten vanhempien hyvinvoinnista koronapandemian aikana on vain vähän tutkimustietoa.
Osana laajempaa EduRESCUE-hanketta toteutetussa hiljaisten äänten tutkimuksessa tarkastelimme vanhemmuuden uupumuksen ja työuupumuksen perusteella muodostettuja vanhempien alaryhmiä koronapandemian aikana sekä sitä, onko alaryhmien välillä eroja lasten erityistarpeissa, vanhemman kokemassa sosiaalisessa tuessa ja resilienssissä eli kyvyssä palautua vastoinkäymisistä.
Tunnistimme neljä vanhempien alaryhmää:1) ei uupuneet (53 %)2) lievästi vanhempana uupuneet (19 %)3) työssä uupuneet (18 %)4) vanhempana ja työssä uupuneet (10 %).
Vanhempana ja työssä uupuneilla vanhemmilla oli ei uupuneita useammin erityistarpeisia lapsia ja he kokivat saavansa muita vähemmän sosiaalista tukea. Lisäksi he kokivat resilienssinsä ei uupuneita vanhempia heikommaksi.
Tutkimus tuo uutta tietoa vanhemmuudessa ja työssä uupumisen yhdistelmistä koronapandemian aikana sekä kuvastaa uupumusoireiden kasaantumista ja mahdollista pitkittymistä erityisesti heikosti voivien vanhempien keskuudessa.
Tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää, kun suunnitellaan vanhempien uupumuksen ennalta ehkäisyä ja perheiden tukitoimintaa sekä kehitetään resilienssin vahvistamiseen liittyviä interventioita.

O presente artigo aborda o projeto de extensão “Tribunal do Júri Simulado: rituais e polêmicas VI”, que teve por objetivo levar ao conhecimento da comunidade local a importância desse rito especial de julgamento dos crimes dolosos contra a vida tentados ou consumados e os conexos, uma vez que são sete cidadãos, escolhidos como jurados, que analisam se o fato criminoso realmente exisitiu e se o réu é inocente ou culpado.  Dessa forma, os alunos do quarto ano do curso de Direito da Unidade Universitária de Paranaíba desenvolveram dois processos simulados desde a investigação até o julgamento em plenário, com a orientação de diversas autoridades da área e professores, com o envolvimento de alunos de terceiros anos do Ensino Médio, que interagiram com a universidade por meio de palestras, minicursos, páginas do Instagram e, ao final, participaram como jurados nos julgamentos simulados. Além desses alunos, a informação sobre esse procedimento foi levada a toda a população local, por meio das notícias veiculadas nas rádios locais. Ao final do projeto, o resultado foi muito positivo, pois, além do aprendizado para os acadêmicos de Direito, houve a participação expressiva da sociedade, sobretudo dos alunos de terceiro ano do Ensino Médio, colaborando o projeto para que universidade avance na missão social de difundir o conhecimento científico.

“Casa da leitura: práticas pedagógicas a partir da leitura educativa” é um projeto de extensão da Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul, com o objetivo de instalar “casas de leitura” em diversos espaços escolares e não escolares do município de Campo Grande - MS, para que a população possa colocar e retirar, gratuitamente, livros para leitura, oportunizando a troca, o receber e o doar, estimulando a leitura e o conhecimento e proporcionando aos acadêmicos dos cursos de licenciatura momentos de formação a partir das ações propostas, como  planejamento, organização e estruturação das atividades, bem como postura profissional, ética, e relação professor, acadêmico e comunidade, durante os momentos de interação. Partilhar as ações realizadas e refletir sobre o alcance das ações da universidade na comunidade por meio dos projetos de extensão é o objetivo deste estudo, alicerçado na fenomenologia por Merleau Ponty (1997) e Freire (1996), no que tange ao processo de formação e educação. O projeto foi implantado e expandido, e, para além das sete casas de leitura instaladas, teve várias parcerias e ações, entre elas a campanha de arrecadação de livros, que recebeu dez mil livros para doação no município de Campo Grande.
Imperiumin kiistelty kotiinpaluu 2020-luvun alun Britanniassa
Authors: Hokkanen Markku
Published: April 2024

Imperiumin, siirtomaavallan ja orjuuden muistaminen ja historia ovat olleet kiisteltyjä ja latautuneita teemoja Britanniassa, erityisesti viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana. Patsaat, museot ja muut kulttuuri-instituutiot, sekä akateemiset ja populaarimmat esitykset imperiumin historiasta, perinnöistä ja vaikutuksista ovat olleet kiihkeidenkin väittelyjen aiheina. Julkinen keskustelu heijastelee osaltaan sitä, että jo pitkään tutkijapiireissä käsitellyt teemat ovat nousseet suuremman yleisön tietoisuuteen. Samaan aikaan akateemiseen tutkimukseen ja imperiumin käsittelyyn julkisessa keskustelussa kohdistuu myös huomattavia poliittisia ja yhteiskunnallisia paineita. Tässä esseessä tarkastelen näitä kehityskulkuja, kiistoja ja puheenvuoroja kirjallisuudessa ja mediassa. Samalla luon katsauksen eräisiin merkittäviin britti-imperiumin historiaa ja muistamista käsitelleisiin tutkimuksiin ja populaarimpiin esityksiin viimeisen kahden vuosikymmenen ajalta.
“Tällaisen Vironko me silloin halusimmekin?”
Authors: Alenius Kari
Published: April 2024

Artikkelissa analysoidaan Viron kolmen suurimman sanomalehden (Postimees, Eesti Päevaleht, Õhtuleht) vuosina 2001, 2011 ja 2021 välittämää kuvaa Viron uudelleenitsenäistymisestä ja sitä seuranneesta yhteiskunnallisesta kehityksestä. Vaikka kaikki mainitut lehdet ovat virallisesti sitoutumattomia, tuloksena hahmottui silti kolme erilaista politisoitunutta tulkintaa ja historiakuvaa. Postimees kannatti Virossa harjoitettua oikeistolaista markkinaliberaalia politiikkaa ja näki siksi vuoden 1991 jälkeisen yhteiskunnallisen kehityksen positiivisena. Se tuki myös kansalliskonservatiivista tulkintaa Viron itsenäistymiskamppailusta. Eesti Päevaleht sympatisoi vasemmistolaisia tulkintoja, minkä seurauksena sen näkemys oli lähes päinvastainen. Õhtuleht sijoittui välittämänsä kuvan osalta näiden kahden sanomalehden väliin, ollen kuitenkin lähempänä Eesti Päevalehteä kuin Postimees-lehteä.
Muistamisen kulttuurit ja historian käyttö

Historiantutkijan työhön kuuluu niin menneisyyden rekonstruointi kuin sen pohtiminen, mikä on historian merkitys ja käyttötarkoitus nykyhetken yhteiskunnassa. Näitä tehtäviä on käytännössä mahdoton erottaa toisistaan, sillä menneisyyttä kuvatessaan tutkija osallistuu vallitsevien historiakuvien rakentamiseen muun muassa aihevalinnoillaan ja tulkinnoillaan. Historioitsijat eivät kuitenkaan ole yksin määrittämässä kuvaa menneisyydestä. Menneisyyttä tulkitsevat ja sitä käyttävät omiin päämääriinsä niin valtaapitävät poliitikot kuin vallan haastajatkin. Sekä oma- ja perhekohtaisen muistin että kulttuurisen muistamisen kautta tavalliset ihmiset ja ihmisyhteisöt käyttävät menneisyyttä nykyhetken ja oman tulevaisuutensa hahmottelun välineenä. Akateeminen historiankirjoitus voi ajoittain tarjota kriittisiä virikkeitä näihin prosesseihin esimerkiksi nostamalla esiin heikosti tunnettuja aiheita tai purkamalla myyttejä, mutta usein ainekset historian juhla- ja arkikäyttöön tulevat muualta: ylirajaisesta populaarikulttuurista, perhemuistoista, julkisista puheenvuoroista ja kansallisista merkkitapahtumista. Toisaalta historiantutkijat ovat valinnoillaan myös määritelleet sitä, mikä on tallentamisen ja muistamisen arvoista. Tämä teemanumero on huomionosoitus Suomen ja Pohjois-Euroopan historian professori Tiina Kinnuselle, jonka työssä kaikki yllä mainitut teemat ovat olleet keskeisiä. Tiinan tutkimuksille feminismin ja naisasialiikkeen historiasta, toisen maailmansodan sosiaali- ja kulttuurihistoriasta sekä historiankirjoituksen ja historiakulttuurin historiasta on kaikille ollut leimallista refleksiivinen ote, jossa menneisyyttä on myös monitasoisesti nykyisyydessä läsnäoleva ilmiö. Tiinan historiakäsityksessä toimijoita eivät ole vain akateemiset tieteenharjoittajat vaan myös kirjailijat, elokuvissa kävijät, muistelijat, lapset, vähemmistöjen edustajat ja monet muut ihmisryhmät, jotka aktiivisesti tai passiivisesti osallistuvat historian käyttöön ja muistokulttuurin rakentamiseen.
Variable-Fidelity Surrogate Model-Based Airfoil Optimization at a Moderate Reynolds Number
Authors: Das Adrija , Sivapragasam M.
Published: April 2024

Airfoil shape optimization for enhanced aerodynamic performance at a moderate Reynolds number is carried out using a novel technique for constrained optimization of expensive engineering functions. The proposed method is a co-kriging surrogate model using two levels of fidelity in conjunction with a gradient-free trust-region method to drive the model towards the global optimum. The methodology is first applied on a generic test function to demonstrate its efficiency. Later, the proposed optimization framework is applied on constrained airfoil shape optimization problems involving maximizing the lift-to-drag ratio, maximizing the endurance factor, and minimizing the drag coefficient of an Eppler E214 airfoil. The optimal lift-to-drag ratio and the endurance factor are found to be 13.25% and 16.05%, respectively, higher than the baseline airfoil. The optimal drag coefficient is 6.86% lower than the baseline airfoil. The flow transition is also delayed for the some of the optimal airfoils. The present results show that the proposed optimization methodology is successful in improving the aerodynamic characteristics in the sensitive low/moderate Reynolds number regime.

A reliable Cyber Attack Detection Model (CADM) is a system that works as safeguard for the users of modern technological devices and assistant for the operators of networks. The research paper aims to develop a CADM for analyzing the network data patterns to classify cyber-attacks. CADM finds out attack wise detection accuracy using ensemble classification method. LASSO has been used to extract important features. It can work with large datasets, and it has more visualization capability. Gradient Boosting and Random Forest algorithms have been used for classification of network traffic data to build an ensemble method. Gradient Boosting algorithm trains weak learning models and select the best decision trees to deliver more improved prediction accuracy and Random Forest algorithm trains each tree in parallel manner. In this research work, Jive datasets such as NSL-KDD, KDD Cup 99, UNSWNB15, URL 2016 and CICIDS 2017 are also applied to check the efficiency of the proposed model.

Published: April 2024

The southeastern U.S. forest industry serves as a crucial source of raw materials for construction and paper production for the global economy. However, this industry faces persistent challenges in wood supply chain management, often centered around logistical inefficiencies and administrative burdens. Additionally, increased operational overhead, due to rising costs, has exerted strain on the business success of wood suppliers. Administrative procedures and record keeping have traditionally been a labor-intensive process for this sector of the wood supply chain. However, technological solutions, such as new wood flow and logistics management software, can enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness of these procedures. This research investigated the impact of wood flow management software on administrative costs for southeastern U.S. wood suppliers. Utilizing a case study approach, we compared administrative time and cost savings of software users and non-software users, to determine potential financial benefits of software adoption. The research design centered on gathering insight from both user groups, through individual interviews, allowing for a comparative analysis of the software’s efficiency metrics. Results indicated that wood suppliers who utilized software saved an average of 43 hours per week on administrative tasks, resulting in estimated annual savings of approximately $62,000 United States dollars (USD). The greatest reported time and cost savings were attributed to scheduling jobs and organizing information. Adoption of wood flow logistics software may result in additional monetary savings through increased efficiency in administrative procedures and communications. These research findings will be useful to wood suppliers interested in improving operational efficiency and reducing administrative costs.
