Published: August 2024

Objetivou-se analisar as produções científicas sobre os riscos ocupacionais envolvidos no processo de trabalho dos garis. Trata-se de uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura, realizada de janeiro a fevereiro de 2024, na MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF – Enfermagem, SciELO e Google Acadêmico. Constatou-se nos estudos que os garis estão expostos a todos os riscos ocupacionais (biológicos, físicos, químicos, acidente e ergonômico). Tais riscos são decorrentes, sobretudo, das intempéries climáticas, dos produtos químicos jogados no lixo, poeiras, bactérias, vírus, animais peçonhentos, levantamento de peso, esforço físico, posturas incorretas, fadiga muscular, acidentes com materiais perfurocortantes, agressão, atropelamento, instrumentos de trabalho impróprio, entre outros. Ainda, evidenciou-se que os garis estão expostos a tais riscos por não utilizarem os equipamentos de proteção individual. Portanto, a presença de riscos e insalubridade traz consequências à saúde dos garis, necessitando de intervenções com fomento de políticas públicas para dirimir o quadro crítico vivenciado.

A critical discourse analysis of Joe Biden's justificatory speeches about the US the troops' withdrawal from Afghanistan
Authors: Hassan Ahmed Fleih , Al Shamiri Dr. Sadiq Mahdi Kadhim
Published: August 2024

This paper conducts a critical discourse analysis of justification in the speeches of the American president of the United States of America, Joe Biden, about the US troops' withdrawal from Afghanistan. It aims to analyze the manipulative language that the American president uses in order to justify the decision to withdraw in 2021. The paper tries to bridge a gap in the linguistic research concerning critically investigating the concept of 'justification' in Biden's speeches. The analysis is done by answering the following questions: (1) What manipulative language strategies does the US president employ in his speech in order to justify his decision to withdraw? (2) What speech acts and rhetorical strategies does the president employ to persuade his audience to accept and support his decision to withdraw? The paper adopts van Dijk's (2006c) 'Discourse and Manipulation' as a model for analyzing the selected data. The paper concluded that the American president uses a particular effective and manipulative language in order to justify the decision to withdraw, and ideologically, the American president, depending on his status and power, tries to use particular speech acts and rhetorical strategies to impose his ideologies to get his decision justified.

Esophagogastric ulcer in finishing pigs from twelve large multi-site herds in southeastern Spain, 1995-2000: Descriptive epidemiology
Authors: Ramis Guillermo , Gomez Serain , Ballesta Monica , Munoz Antonio
Published: August 2024

Objective: To describe mortality due to esophagogastric ulcers over time in pigs from 12 herds in southeastern Spain in which this was the main cause of death until the emergence of postweaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). Methods: All animals (nursery to finisher) that died during 1995 to 2000 were necropsied. The database of necropsy results was analyzed for morbidity trends using classical time series analyses. Total mortality and mortality due to chronic wasting and pneumonia were included because of their possible relationships with gastric ulcers. Age at death in 1998, 1999, and 2000 was analyzed for trends. Results: A seasonal distribution in total mortality was observed, with highest mortality occurring during winter months and lowest during summer months. Mortality due to gastric ulcers was also higher in winter months. Over the study period, mortality due to gastric ulcers declined while mortality due to chronic wasting increased. No change was observed in average age at death due to gastric ulcer. In contrast, a slight reduction (P < .001) was observed in average age at death due to total mortality and chronic wasting in 2000 compared to 1998 and 1999. Implications: In this study, gastric ulcer mortality and occurrence of respiratory diseases were greatest during winter and lowest during early summer, suggesting a relationship between these conditions. Average age at death due to gastric ulcer was 120 to 121 days. Emergence of PMWS was not associated with an increase in gastric ulcer mortality.

Authors: Main Rodger , Dritz Steve , Tokach Mike , Goodband Robert , Nelssen Jim
Published: August 2024

Objective: Two trials were conducted to determine the effects of weaning age on growing-pig costs and revenue in a multi-site production system. Materials and methods: In Trial One (2272 pigs), litters were weaned at 12, 15, 18, and 21 days of age. In Trial Two (3456 pigs), litters were weaned at 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, and 22 days of age and categorized into three treatments (15.5, 18.5, and 21.5 days of age). In Trial Two, pigs in each age group were fed one of two nursery feeding programs. Each trial was conducted as a randomized complete block design with four blocks of nursery and finishing sites. All pigs within each block were weaned from a 7300-head sow farm on the same day into the same nursery, with each block remaining intact through finishing. Costs and revenue were calculated for each pen and modeled to simulate situations of either limited or nonlimited finishing space. Results: In both trials and both finishing capacity scenarios (limited or nonlimited), weight sold per pig weaned, wean-to-finish cost per 100 kg sold, and income over costs improved (linear, P < .05) as weaning age increased. Altering the nursery feeding program did not affect pig performance in Trial Two (P > .05). Implications: Under the conditions of these trials, the value of weaned pigs increases with weaning age whether finishing space is limited or nonlimited. Linear increases (P < .05) in growth rate and livability were the drivers of the economic advantages of increasing weaning age.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects on nursery pig growth performance of feeding a diet containing oregano oil (ORG), an in-feed antimicrobial, or no additive. Materials and methods: In Experiment One, a total of 224 nursery pigs were used in a 28-day trial. Dietary treatments included a control (without ORG or antimicrobial), the control diet containing neomycin and oxytetracycline (154 mg per kg of each; NT), ORG, or both NT and ORG. In Experiment Two, the five dietary treatments included the control, control diet plus NT, and control diet with ORG at 25, 50, and 100 g per tonne for 28 days. Pigs and feed were weighed to determine ADG, average daily feed intake (ADFI), and feed efficiency (gain:feed; G:F). Results: There was no differences in ADG, ADFI, or G:F in either experiment whether pigs were fed diets with or without ORG (P > .05). In Experiment One, Days 0 to 28, ADG, ADFI, G:F, and final weights were better in pigs fed diets containing NT than in pigs not fed NT (P < .05). In Experiment Two, ADG and ADFI were greater in pigs fed NT than in pigs fed the control or ORG diets (P < .01). Implication: Under the conditions of this experiment, addition of in-feed antimicrobials enhanced growth performance of nursery pigs, but addition of oregano at a range of dosages did not.

Haptic (tactual), portable, hands-free communication for body compliant interfaces
Authors: Persson Nils-Krister
Published: August 2024

There is a growing number of technical communication devices, not least wearables, which take use of the haptic sense(s). Then tactors (vibrotactile elements, heating elements, cooling elements, pressure generators, active indentators, electro-stimulating electrodes etc.), are employed. Haptic technologies are often limited to binary, point-wise actuation (one vibrator). However, as we discuss, in a semiotic sense, this can only generate a representamen that is symbolic, thus only also concerning symbolic communication. For a richer communication coming closer to what exists for visual and audial displays also haptic communication that is semiologically iconical and indexical are of interest. We here present a classification of tactile displays. For this, we make a distinction between the stimulus (the tactor characteristics and relationship to human reception) and the spatial arrangement i.e. the geometrical placement of tactors. For wearables, in the latter case, the human body shape and anatomy is taken into concern.From this, we build two (partially ordered) hierarchies, the stimulus richness hierarchy and the spatial ordering hierarchy, respectively.Combining these hierarchies gives a (partially ordered) hierarchy of tactile displays for the human body. We show that the informatical richness is fast growing with placement complexity. However, such displays need space. Hands and fingers are sensitive for haptic stimuli but are better reserved for active touch. Instead, other body parts might be used. For this, textiles are employed. We demonstrate a chairable i.e. a portable textile based haptic display for communication to (deafblind) humans, arena spectators etc., that can be applied to furniture, thus enriching the Umwelt of the users.

Authors: Lentez Amanda , Mager Gabriela
Published: August 2024

This study delves into the analysis of how data visualization impacts user experience (UX) when interacting with public electrical energy data. In the era of big data, the volumes of information on energy generation, distribution, and consumption are expanding exponentially. This surge underscores the urgency for presentation techniques that not only simplify complex datasets for the lay audience but also improve engagement and comprehension. Thus, the study aims to bridge the existing knowledge gap by identifying effective data visualization strategies that enhance the public’s ability to understand intricate data, thereby supporting informed decision-making and heightening awareness about energy sustainability. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates extensive literature reviews with empirical usability testing involving 30 participants. To complement the quantitative findings, qualitative insights were extracted from interviews and focus groups, aiming to capture user preferences, challenges encountered, and suggestions for improvement. This analysis covered the effectiveness of various visualization components, including filters, information hierarchies, graphical elements, and data diversity, in facilitating an intuitive grasp of electrical energy data. The study showed a correlation between intuitive visualization techniques and the improvement of UX metrics such as engagement, comprehension, and satisfaction. Key findings emphasized that features such as interactive filters and good information hierarchies are instrumental in empowering users to effectively navigate and interpret electrical energy data. The study culminates in the formulation of eleven targeted guidelines for the development of user-centric data visualizations within the public energy sector.
Sexting, age and digital vulnerabilities

Published: August 2024

Despite popular misconception it is not only young people that are sharing nude pictures and videos. There are a number of studies targeted towards the younger generation about their sexting, but few on older age-groups. In general, younger people take more risk than older people, and some seem to care less about possible negative consequences. For this study we commissioned a market research company to collect data from a national population, with a representative sample from 16 to 69 years old, in total 1071 citizens. We used binary logistic regression for the analysis of responses, a method that can be used to predict a categorical dependent variable – in our case whether a person has been sexting the last 12 months or not. In the study we included the following independent variables: gender, education, self-efficacy; the cognitive reflection test (CRT) to distinguish between a intuitive versus analytical decision style; Machiavellianism, to distinguish a personality trait characterized by manipulativeness and deceitfulness; willingness to share personal data, and finally whether the citizens had experience of ID-theft or credit-card misuse within the previous 12 months. Our results show that the ID-theft/credit-card variable was a significant predictor of sexting for the age-groups 16-29, 30-39 and 50-69 years old. For youngest group, the manipulativeness and deceitfulness trait is also a predictor, whereas for the oldest group, the intuitive decision style a high willingness to share personal data are also significant predictors
Exploring the Potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Human-Centred Design
Authors: Aromaa Susanna , Lammi Hanna
Published: August 2024

This study evaluated the suitability of a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool for impersonating human test participants in human-centred design (HCD) research. The experiment involved 23 office workers who gave feedback on a telepresence robot concept through an online questionnaire. The same questionnaire was answered by the AI tool (Copilot Microsoft Edge), using the background information of the human participants as an input. The results revealed that the human and AI groups had contradictory answers to the question of benefits of the concept: the human participants did not see much value in the telepresence robot system, while the AI participants gave more positive responses. Otherwise, answers were similar in relation to identifying challenges and improvement ideas. However, the AI tool suggested more improvement ideas than human participants. The findings suggest that even though there is potential in utilising AI in HCD (e.g., inventing ideas) there are still challenges to overcome, for example, in understanding the use context and experiences of users. These findings can be used by researchers and designers when utilising AI in HCD, and AI technology developers who aim to improve AI tools to better mimic human cognitive processes.

Published: August 2024

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) is an essential computer vision task that plays a significant role in ergonomics, human-centered design of workplaces, and collaborative robotics, particularly in providing a safe, adaptive, and valuable human-robot collaboration (HRC). Nevertheless, the need for a concise and practical approach to setting up a multicamera and multimodal system for HPE dataset generation remains an open issue in the literature.The main goal of this work is to describe in concise steps a protocol that serves as a guide in the exploratory stage of the approach to construct an extensive multicamera and multimodal dataset used to enhance HRC. In this paper, the proposed protocol specifically addresses the challenge of designing a biomechanical model that can consistently reproduce complex and variable human motion analyses in an assembly task while considering ergonomic factors. Furthermore, the resulting work led to the definition of a marker set for one single-person future pipeline involving the placement of thirty-two reflective markers for 3D motion analysis, specifically emphasizing the upper segments of the human body, including the hands. The future generation of this dataset will hold significant promise for advancing the study of HRC. It will introduce reliable and precise multimodal data collection, such as human kinematics and video data, including depth data, which will then be used for posture metrics analysis. Finally, the dataset will be a valuable resource for the research community, enabling the training of machine learning models. These models will empower collaborative robots (cobots) to learn from human demonstrations, enhancing their efficiency and ergonomic performance in assembly tasks.
Bio dyes and Bio pigments: the sustainable approach in industrial textile dyeing and printing processes
Authors: Carvalho Cristina , Couceiro Marlene , Montagna Gianni , Costa Pereira Carla , Carlos Figueiredo
Published: August 2024

Unfortunately, The textile industry is a sector responsible for producing more than 2 billion tons of effluents/waste. A large part of the waste and effluents are discarded into the ecosystem, particularly in aquatic ecosystems, essentially after the finishing processes, which include dyeing and printing processes. Dyeing is one of the most polluting processes in the textile industry, representing a high source of pollution. According to the World Bank, the textile dyeing industries are responsible for more than 20% of the pollution of all water used at the industrial level. One of the serious problems related to the group of synthetic dyes is the level of chemical compounds used for their production, which has a high level of toxicity, corresponding to a carcinogenic and mutagenic potential. The problems mentioned have impacts on the environment and human health, as they can irritate people's skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Likewise, several health problems such as neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, and developmental toxicity may arise due to exposure to wastewater pollution. One of the emerging areas of research is related to the exploration of obtaining natural dyes from microorganisms, known as Bio dyes or Bio pigments. However, the approaches used also limit the yield and performance of the formulations obtained, since the dyeing process occurs directly, through exposure of the microorganism to the substrate. Furthermore, to date, there is no solution applicable to continuous dyeing. This research work's main objectives are research and development to obtain dyes for application in textile finishing processes, namely dyeing, and printing, using bacterial metabolic processes for the biopro-duction of these bio dyes or bio pigments. Additionally, this research is expected to obtain dyeing and printing processes with a reduction in contaminated effluents, due to the high biodegradability of bio dyes or bio pigments to be developed through the metabolism of microorganisms, thus contributing to the reduction of decontamination processes of industrial effluents.
Geospatial Positioning Using a Smartphone and the MS HoloLens
Authors: Stehlin Jonas , Häusler Aaron , Caplazi Kordian , Kunz Andreas
Published: August 2024

During excavations, very often underground facilities are damaged, as shown in a statistics from the U.S. From all these damages, more than 36% were because of locating problems. This paper thus introduces a system that relies on Google Street View geospatial data to determine the precise position for excavation work. The visual surrounding is captured by a smartphone using Google’s ARCore and Visual Positioning System (VPS). Google’s VPS transforms the camera data into a local point cloud. Concurrently, the rough location of the smartphone is found using its GPS. This location is necessary to determine which section of the global point cloud (based on Street View data) has to be compared to the local point cloud. This comparison yields an accurate position and orientation of the smartphone. A QR code with the positional data encoded is displayed on the screen. It has to be scanned with the MS HoloLens 2 (HL2). By doing so, the HL2 is able to determine the smartphone’s position and orientation relative to itself. In combination with the information decoded from the QR code the HL2 can calculate its global position and orientation. With the positional data available on the HL2 the information of the underground facilities can be displayed. The plans are moved to the correct position, and rotated to match the orientation of the HL2. To evaluate this new system it was compared with a system based on real-time kinematics (RTK) in real-life situations. Leica’s FLX 100 plus in combination with refnet’s reference service was used to set up the RTK calibration system. With Leica’s Zeno Connect smartphone app the FLX 100 plus was connected to the reference service. An additional app was used to transfer the positional data via Bluetooth to the HL2. Both systems were examined regarding accuracy and precision under different conditions. The tolerance of the Swiss cadastral system (± 150 mm) was chosen as a reference value. To measure the deviation of the results from the real value, national and cantonal fixpoints were used. These are marked by bolts in the ground and their accuracy is < 10 mm. In order to find the offset of the rotation 5 m lines were drawn in the test plans along the edge of the sidewalk. The deviation was measured by aligning the plans correctly, the errors were equal to the displacement needed. The RTK method performed well in open areas, where almost all results under the reference value of ± 150 mm. In densely built-up areas the accuracy ranged from 1.26 - 8.66 m, and the precision from 4.41 - 13.1 m. The method with Google’s Geospatial API and only a smartphone achieved an accuracy of 0.21 to 0.43 m and a precision of 1.28 - 2.26 m in open areas. In densely built-up areas the accuracy was 0.28 - 0.36 m, and the precision 0.22 - 0.28 m. In these tests no impact due to the age of the Street view data was noticeable.

Development of a Metamaterial Numerical Model for Improving 3D-Printed Lower-Limb Prosthetic Liners
Authors: Plesec Vasja , Hanželič Blaž , Harih Gregor
Published: August 2024

Lower limb prosthetic liners predominantly consist of solid elastomers or foam-like polymers, offering minimal room for customization due to constraints in the manufacturing process and materials used. The non-linear material characteristics of biological tissue and the intricate geometry of residual limbs underscore the importance of tailored prosthetic liners to enhance comfort and ensure stability within the liner-prosthesis interface. Additive technologies, particularly 3D printing, enable the rapid manufacturing of intricate shapes using diverse, flexible materials, facilitating extensive customisation. This study focuses on investigating the mechanical properties of 3D-printed metamaterial structures, exploring variations in types of unit cells and cellular density. Through the development of material models and subsequent analysis employing uniaxial compression test results and numerical simulations, this research aims to assess the potential of 3D-printed metamaterial structures in tailoring lower-limb prosthetic liners to provide lower and more uniform contact pressure between the residual limb and the prosthesis while ensuring the stability of the prosthesis.

Background: Schizophrenia is one mental illness type. Family interactions are impacted by this disease because it leads individuals to behave erratically. Family caregivers will be less able to care for patients because of the strain this condition puts on them. The researchers at Dr. Amino Gondohutomo Hospital in Central Java Province set out to find out how family caregivers' capacity to care for their loved ones with schizophrenia correlated with their own subjective burdens.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional method and a purposive sample technique, this study utilized a quantitative correlational type with a maximum of 38 respondents. A family burden questionnaire and the ability to care for one's family using the Spearman Rank test were the research instruments used.
Results: The Spearman Rank test results reveal a significant value of 0.008 <0.05 between the objective load of the family and the ability to care for the family, and a unidirectional correlation coefficient value of -0.427 between the two variables.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant relationship, and the higher the perceived burden, the worse the family's ability to care. It is recommended to provide support and resources to families to alleviate their perceived burden, thereby enhancing their ability to provide effective care

Published: August 2024

This study examines the dual roles of women in Kerala, India, balancing professional responsibilities with traditional household duties using Work-Family Conflict theory. Despite Kerala's educational advancements and higher sex ratio, cultural expectations impose significant pressures on women, causing self-doubt, anxiety, and mental fatigue. The research reveals that while some women receive spousal support, the unequal division of household chores exacerbates work-family conflicts. A descriptive research design with convenience sampling was used to select respondents, and Chi-square tests assessed the impact of gender on beliefs about societal norms causing emotional and mental conflicts. Pearson’s Correlation evaluated the relationship between spousal support and job pressure among women. Despite the crucial role of economic contributions from both partners, traditional gender roles continue to impede women’s career progression and overall well-being. The study highlights the need for supportive workplace policies and societal changes to ease the dual burden on women, enhance gender equality, and improve mental health.
