Authors: Bairwa Kailash Chand
Published: February 2021

Cumin production of Rajasthan and Jodhpur were kept a dominant position in Seed spices economy of the country. This study was attempt to present the comparative performance of cumin in Rajasthan and Jodhpur. For drawing a meaningful termination of Agri-Export Zones on cumin production in Rajasthan, the selected study period from 1991-92 to 2018-19 was divided into three sub-periods as Ex-ante Agri-Export Zone (1991-92 to 2004-05), Ex-post Agri-Export Zone (2005-06 to 2018-19) and overall study period (1991-92 to 2018-19). The results of the growth analysis revealed that area, yield and production of cumin in Jodhpur was increased faster than Rajasthan and period-I. In case of instability, the production and yield of this crop in period-II were more instable than other two periods in Rajasthan and Jodhpur. The introduction of high yielding varieties has boosted up production Rajasthan especially in Jodhpur. During period-I the growth of output was contributed mainly due to increasing area under the crop. However, in period-II development of high yielding varieties have positive and significant effect on expanding production in Jodhpur and Rajasthan.

Authors: s Surabhi
Published: February 2021

Awareness on proper nutrition, nutritional value of food and healthy practices in food intake can build a difference in farm women productivity. Poor dietary practice is one of the biggest global contributing factors on recurrent disease in farm women. Negative effects of malnutrition among women were compounded by heavy farm work demands and poverty, although technological breakthrough brought tremendous scope in agriculture sector. Under this backdrop, this study was conducted with the objectives to gauge the nutritional awareness and dietary practices by farm women. The study was conducted among 150 farm women of Bhagalpur district of Bihar. From this research, it can be concluded that mass media, social media, and grassroots extension functionaries play pivotal role in creation of nutritional awareness among farm women. The mostly dietary practices included cereals (Rice, Wheat & Maize) and farm women nutritional awareness is significantly correlated with age, education level and mass media exposure of farm women.

Authors: Kala Sonu
Published: February 2021

The present investigation was undertaken to study marketing costs, margins and price spread and problems faced by green chilli cultivators in marketing of green chilli. A multistage purposive and random sampling procedure was used to select district, tehsils, villages and farmers from the district. A sample of 57 farmers i.e., 10 percent for each category of each village was taken for the study. Muhana mandi was selected purposively for studying the nature and magnitude of costs and margins in the marketing of green chilli in Jaipur. From the market, 5 village traders, 10 wholesalers-cum-commission agents and 15 retailers were selected for study. Marketing costs, margin and price spread were estimated by using costs incurred by intermediaries, absolute margin, percentage margin and constraints in marketing of green chilli were measured by Garrett’s ranking method. Results revealed that the farmers adopted three kinds of marketing channels; channel-I (Producer → Village trader → Wholesaler-cum-commission agent → Retailer → Consumer), channel-II (Producer → Wholesaler-cum-commission agent → Retailer → Consumer) and channel-III (Producer → Consumer). Total marketing costs in sale of green chilli was ` 500.40 and ` 491.34 per quintal in channel-I and channel-II, respectively in the study area. Marketing margins of wholesaler-cum commission agent was ` 205.89 and ` 289.05 per quintal by retailer. Producer’s share in consumer’s rupee in sale of green chilli was 69.68 per cent, 74.02 per cent and 100 per cent in village, regulated market and in direct sale to consumer. The key problems of chilli farmers in marketing of green chilli were low price of green chilli, lack of good storage facilities, fluctuations in market price, difficulty in maintaining quality standards and high transportation cost etc. For the lucrative production, the productivity of the crop needs to increase and price stabilization of the green chilli and elimination of market intermediaries may be induced.

Abstract
Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the effects of static exercise program verses Swiss ball training for core muscles of the lower back and pelvic region in patients with low back pain after child delivery.
Methods: This was a prospective single blind randomized control trial conducted on a sample of 30 patients with low back pain from March 2018to December 2018. Patients were divided into 2 groups through seal envelop method i.e. static core exercises group (n=15) and Swiss ball training group (n=15). The outcome measures used for this study were numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), goniometry and Core stability assessment scale. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21.
Results: The mean age of patients in static core exercises group was 28.38 ± 4.8 years and mean age of Swiss Ball training group was 29.57 ± 3.3 years. Between group analysis showed non-significant difference whereas within group analysis showed significant improvement at post intervention.
Conclusions: Both groups showed significant difference in reduction of pain (NPRS), in disability level due to LBP (ODI), better ROM flexion/extension of lumbar and achieving better strength at core stability assessment scale (CSA). These findings suggest that both exercise protocols are equally effective in rehabilitation of postpartum low back pain.

The Non-Divinity of Parmenides' What-is
Authors: Bryan Jenny
Published: February 2021

Muitas vezes aceita-se que, em Parmênides, o-que-é é, em certo sentido, divino. Este capítulo examina as hipóteses adicionais que tendem a dar suporte a tais leituras. Ele argui que nem apelos a uma larga tradição filosófica e nem uma possível atribuição de inteligência ao o-que-é justifica aceitar que o-que-é é divino. As divindades do poema de Parmênides são agentes antropomórficos e sujeitos de mutações. O-que-é, excluindo a mutação, exclui também a divindade. A divindade não é uma propriedade relevante ou necessária do o-que-é.

The present study provides information about the current socioeconomic conditions
and livelihood related issues of the Anaiwasala and Dutch bay area’s bivalve collectors
from July to August 2018. The highest percentage of bivalve collectors (34%) belong to
the 31-40 age group and the lowest percentage in 11-20 and 61-70 age groups (03% each).
Females (87%) and males (13%) were involved in bivalve collection, and all of them were
married. Among the studied bivalve collectors 57%, 33%, and 10% of the bivalve
collectors were Hindu, Christian, and Islam respectively. The present study shows that
37%, 40%, 20%, and 3% of the bivalve collectors have learned up to elementary level,
junior secondary level, senior secondary level, and collegiate levels respectively.
Families consisting of three members were dominant (37%) and most of them were (90%)
nuclear families. During the July-August 2018 period, average monthly income per person
per month was 14467 LKR. Among the studied bivalve collectors, 83% have own land and
house and 73% of them were living in a partially completed house and 27% of them were
lived in a completed house. According to the present study, 43% of the respondents don’t
have other income sources. Also, 47%, 7%, and 3% of the bivalve collectors were involved
in fishing, labor works, and dry fish production as other income sources. Conflicts
between bivalve collectors and lagoon fishers for the space, lack of income source when
bivalve population is low in the lagoon, lack of institutional support and lack of
stable price for their products were identified as the main livelihood related
issues.
Improving the efficiency of phytoremediation technologies of oil-contaminated soils with the participation of natural sorbents-meliorants
Authors: Shevchyk-Kostiuk Lesya , Romaniuk Olga , Banya Andriy
Published: February 2021

Phytremediation is considered to be a promising and environmentally friendly way to restore oil-contaminated soils. However, the multicomponent nature of oil pollution, its low bioavailability, high stability, hydrophobicity, and toxicity require a comprehensive approach to its implementation. The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of different types of sorbents-meliorants and their complexes with remediation agents on improvement of the efficiency of phytoremediation technologies of oil-contaminated soils. The study established that the most effective plants for phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soils are Vicia faba var. Minor, Pisum sativum L., Avena sativa L., which are the least exposed to toxic effects of oil among the studied crops, and better adapt to the conditions of oil-contaminated soils. The influence of sorbent-meliorants such as glauconite, zeolite, sawdust, and sunflower husk on the process of phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soils (oil content 5%) was studied. It was proven that sunflower husk is the most promising and available agent for accelerating phytoremediation. The study examined the individual and combined influence of mineral fertilisers, biogenic surfactants of microbial origin, and humates on the growth of Avena sativa plants under conditions of oil pollution, as well as on the process of soil restoration. The best results are obtained by application of the above agents in combination with sunflower husk. This complex (sunflower husk + mineral fertilizers + surfactants of microbial origin / humates) has a positive effect on Avena sativa plants – reduces the rate of oxidative stress, which indicates an improvement in the adaptability of plants to oil-contaminated soil; growth parameters increase; plant biomass accumulation; the total content of chlorophyll a+b increases; and there is an improvement in soil properties by reducing the oil content in soil, reducing phytotoxicity, increasing dehydrogenase activity

Authors: Shakir Anas Ihsan , Thabit Thabit Hassan
Published: February 2021

After the overlapping of science and with the cases of corruption and financial fraud experienced by most countries in the world, academic studies began to unite to create dual professional disciplines. One of the most important of these unions is the union of law with accounting to produce the concept of forensic accounting after the legal accounting with unlimited powers to go further to detect corruption and fraud. In this paper, we discussed many issues such as the nature of financial fraud in business, the extent of its impact on the confidence of the public mainly, the types of financial fraud and the most important factors affecting it, in addition to clarifying the theoretical framework of forensic accounting, its historical background, and its role in reducing financial fraud through a review of the most important global experiences. The importance of this paper can be presented as a scientific study that examines the possibility of using forensic accounting as an effective tool to eliminate cases of fraud in business, and to benefit the management, investors and lenders by narrowing the trust gap between these parties.

Authors: Zulham Effendi
Published: February 2021

Wanita dalam Islam memiliki hak yang sama dalam pendidikan. Nabi secara umum menjelaskan bahwa belajar itu wajib hukumnya atas setiap muslim termasuk wanita. Islam tidak melarang para wanita untuk belajar agama. Tidak mengapa bagi para wanita untuk mencari jalan kemajuan bagi dirinya. Bahkan para ahlul ilmi dan ahli fiqh zaman terdahulu maupun sekarang sepakat, bahwa menuntut ilmu syar’i yang menjadi kebutuhan pokok adalah fardhu ‘ain atas mereka. Tidak ada perbedaan antara laki-laki dengan perempuan dalam hal ini. Laki-laki dan perempuan memiliki kedudukan yang sama dalam kewajiban bersyariat, dan begitu pula dalam mendapatkan balasan di akhirat, kecuali dalam beberapa aturan syariat tertentu, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala membebaskan kaum wanita dari tugas tersebut
التنازع عند البصريين والكوفيين (دراسة نحوية مقارنة)
Authors: Nur Halimah As-Sa'diyah
Published: February 2021

قد ورد في كتب النحو كثير من اختلافات النحويين، من أشهرها الاختلاف بين البصريين والكوفيين. حيث أنهم قد اختلفوا في باب التنازع، رأى البصريون أن إعمال ثاني العاملين أولى من إعمال الأول ومعهم حجة. ورأى الكوفيون أن إعمال الأول أولى من إعمال الثاني وكذلك معهم حجة. من هذا الاختلاف رأت الباحثة بأن هذا المبحث مهم ليُتعمق فيه، حتى يُعرف كيف يكون الاختلاف والاتفاق بينهما، ولا شك في أن بعض آي القرآن كتبت بشكل التنازع، ولكي لايحدث اللحن في تطبيقه يوميا، فهو الهدف الرئيسي في وضع علم النحو الذي هو سعي إلى حفظ كلام الرحمن، ولاسيما من كان مشغولا بعلم النحو. نتائج هذا البحث هي أن بين هذين المذهبين بعض الاختلاف في التنازع، وهو في ست نقاط منها الاختلاف في أولى الفعل بالعمل، والاتفاق في أربع نقاط منها جواز إعمال واحد من العاملين، وغير ذلك من الاختلاف مما يترتب على أثر إعمال الفعل الأول كان أم الثاني كالإضمار والحذف والعطف والفصل. ومسألة التنازع هي محل الخلاف إلى اليوم.
Encoding Textual Variants of the Early Modern Slovenian Poetic Texts in TEI
Authors: Ditmajer Nina , Ogrin Matija , Erjavec Tomaž
Published: February 2021

The paper deals with the problem of encoding the verses and textual variants in the critical edition of Foglar’s Manuscript, a Styrian Baroque hymn book from the mid-eighteenth century. We first show the diplomatic transcript of the verse in selected problematic cases, after which we present the method applied to produce a critical apparatus for approaching textual variants. The base text, i.e. Foglar’s Manuscript, is compared with versions in eight other manuscripts and prints from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Variants are encoded with XML elements according to the TEI Consortium Guidelines (TEI) as units of the critical apparatus. We highlight some examples of the detailed encoding of rhymes, feet, verse replacements, and textual variants on the spelling, vocabulary and lexical levels of the language. To conclude, we present a number of possibilities for the online display of the electronic diplomatic transcript. The need for the adaptability of these tools to the Slovenian literary tradition is evident.
Corporate Communication on Twitter in Slovenia
Authors: Fišer Darja , Kalin Golob Monika
Published: February 2021

The paper presents a corpus analysis of corporate communication on Twitter which was performed with a combination of metadata and textual data on the Janes-Tweet corpus. We compare the amount, posting dynamics and use of social-media specific communication elements by corporate and private users. Next, we analyse the language of corporate users. Our analysis shows that, in comparison to private accounts, corporate tweets predominantly use formal communication and standard language characteristics with seldom usage of informal and non-standard choices. In the event of those, however, they are chosen deliberately to address a specific target audience and meet the desired communicative goals. A major contribution of the paper is also a showcase of corpus-based approaches in communication studies, media studies and other related disciplines in social sciences which study language use.
Predicting Slovene Text Complexity Using Readability Measures
Authors: Škvorc Tadej , Krek Simon , Pollak Senja , Holdt Špela Arhar , Robnik-Šikonja Marko
Published: February 2021

The majority of existing readability measures are designed for English texts. We aim to adapt and test the readability measures on Slovene. We test ten well-known readability formulas and eight additional readability criteria on five types of texts: children’s magazines, general magazines, daily newspapers, technical magazines, and transcriptions of national assembly sessions. As these groups of texts target different audiences, we assume that the differences in writing styles should be reflected in their readability scores. Our analysis shows which readability measures perform well on this task and which fail to distinguish between the groups.

La escultura como respuesta al amor de Dios a la luz de Juan Pablo II
Authors: Garibay Mariela
Published: February 2021

El arte como respuesta al amor de Dios, san Juan Pablo II en su carta dirigida a los artistas realiza una llamada a quienes tienen esta especial vocación hacia la belleza, concibiendo el arte como el bien que salva, como “un puente tendido hacia la experiencia religiosa”, como el medio que transformando la materia abre las almas al sentido de lo eterno y las lleva a Dios. El arte se convierte entonces, en una vocación al servicio del bien, capaz, a través de nuestra sensibilidad, de elevar nuestro espíritu, de animar nuestro camino, sobre todo en momentos de confusión y dificultad, de provocarnos asombro, y así devolvernos las ganas de vivir y disfrutar de la belleza que nos envuelve. Es lo que intento plasmar en mi obra como escultura.
Valor y comportamiento del empresario cristiano
Authors: Sanz Cerezuela José Ignacio
Published: February 2021

El empresario cristiano es un eslabón fundamental en la cadena de desarrollo económico y social. Sus límites, además de los legales, son los que marcan la ética y la moral cristiana, siendo pilares de los mismos; la solidaridad y el reconocimiento y conservación de la dignidad del prójimo. El hecho de que su comportamiento se adecúe a estos valores, no significa que tenga que renunciar al premio que merece su riesgo. El trabajador debe ser consciente de la importancia del cumplimiento de su compromiso en el mantenimiento de los puestos de trabajo y mejora del estado de bienestar. El cristianismo es sentido común y procura lo que es justo y bueno para todos.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of concept cartoons and biology teaching based on a constructivist learning approach on student achievement and permanence of knowledge. The study group consists of 49 students studying in two of the 10th digital classes of Kazım Karabekir Technical and Industrial Vocational High School in the Yunus Emre district of Erzurum. At the stage of data collection, biology achievement tests including three-stage pre-test, post-test and permanence test consisting of 25 questions related to the subject of “Ecosystem Ecology”, which is the third unit of the biology course, were prepared and used from the preparation books of the Student Selection Examination (ÖSS). In the study in which the pretest, posttest control group quasi-experimental design was used, the subjects were applied to the control group with the traditional straight expression method, and the teaching method was applied to the experimental group with the researched concept cartoons. The cartoons were given to the experimental group as a material, and the lesson was presented as slides, supported by cartoons, and actively processed in the form of questions and answers. As a result of the evaluation of the data, there was a statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group (p <0.05) according to the posttest scores obtained from the achievement test in the experimental group, where the teaching was performed with concept cartoons, and there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of retention test scores made after 4 weeks (p <0.05) was observed. At the end of the study, it was understood that teaching with concept cartoons had a positive effect on providing students to learn biology knowledge compared to the traditional method.

but often unmonitored factor contributing to the declining health and survival of these fragments. In this study, we outplanted 360 boulder coral fragments (Montastraea cavernosa, Orbicella faveolata, Pseudodiploria clivosa), sourced from both ex situ and in situ nurseries,
at three locations in the Florida Keys. Each location included one inshore and one offshore site. Ten fragments of each species and source were outplanted at each site (60 corals per site). Transplants were monitored for finfish predation, live tissue area, and survival at 1, 2, 6, and 12
wks post-outplanting. We found the highest finfish predation for all species during the 1 wk monitoring period. Predation during this first week varied by location and reef type, with two locations showing higher predation on offshore sites and one location experiencing increased predation
on the inshore site. We also found that coral fragments produced in the ex situ nursery experienced higher initial predation compared to fragments produced in the in situ nursery. However, overall coral survival at 12 wks post-outplanting was 96%, suggesting there was no effect of initial
predation on survival. Our results indicate that coral restoration efforts may be affected by intense, initial predation on newly-outplanted boulder coral colonies, but this initial predation may not lead to an increase in mortality.

O Mercado Central São José localizado em Teresina, estado do Piauí (Brasil), desde a sua constituição se consolidou como principal referência de comércio popular local, entrelaçando a práticas e os elementos significativos do cotidiano da cidade. O recente processo de reforma que o mercado foi submetido, por sua vez, previu a turistificação do espaço, orientado por um conjunto de instrumentos a nível municipal, dentre os quais o Plano de Desenvolvimento Integrado do Turismo Sustentável – PDITS, que objetivavam a sua revitalização, visando a potencialização do turismo no local. Assim, o presente artigo teve por objetivo compreender a trajetória do processo de requalificação do Mercado Central de Teresina, desde o contexto da sua formulação no PDITS, à sua execução e à realidade após a intervenção. Observou-se também questões pertinentes a situação do mercado antes desse processo, bem como a dos profissionais que nele atuam, sua inserção no âmbito desta requalificação, e as expectativas, neste sentido, que foram atingidas. Para tal fim, realizou-se a análise documental do referido plano turístico, aliando tal análise às visitas in loco. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que, com a execução do projeto, novas perspectivas para o local puderam se tornar possíveis, assim como novas questões se apresentaram. Observa-se que o turismo, quando analisado pelo viés das relações entre poder público, comunidade local e turistas apresenta diversas nuances nas relações sociais, produtoras de sentidos e significados atribuídos a bens culturais e patrimônios.

Pansophism as John Amos Comenius' idea of lifelong learning
Authors: Sitarska Barbara
Published: February 2021

Pansophia (omniscience) is John Amos Comenius' philosophical idea which, related to his idea of lifelong learning, can be described by the words To teach everybody... everything... about everything… with all the senses... with the use of natural methods... forever. These are the key thoughts of John Amos Comenius' two leading and closely interrelated ideas. According to the author, the idea of pansophism does not exist without the idea of lifelong learning, and the other way round: the idea of lifelong learning cannot exist without the idea of pansophism. In the article, the author attempts to present pansophism as the thinker’s idea of lifelong lear-ning, including the idea of self-cognition as a foundation of pansophic education, which lasts throughout everybody's life. Such education has two dimensions: institutional and symbolic with a philosophical overtone. The author mainly refers to the issues analyzed within her seven years' comeniological research, as well as to previous interpretations and reinterpreta-tions of available works by Comenius and about Comenius, aware of their deficiency.

Background: Obesity-related morbidity continues to increase in Saudi Arabia, especially among school students, who constitute a vulnerable population since they can be highly influenced by the western culture and rapid globalization. Aim of Study: To examine the relationship between obesity and negative emotional states among male secondary school students. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among male secondary school students in Abha City, Saudi Arabia during the academic year 2019-2020. A multistage cluster sampling technique was followed by the researchers, in order to recruit participants. The standardized Arabic version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used by the researchers for determining prevalence and levels of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms among participants. Results: Three hundred and ninety eight students participated in the study. Their mean age (±SD) was 16.98±0.93 years. Overweight and obesity was present among 44.2% and 38.4% of participants, respectively. The overall prevalence rates for symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress among participants were 57%, 64.6% and 39.4%, respectively. There were statistically significant associations between obesity and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress (p<0.001 for all). Conclusions: The burden of overweight and obesity are high among the male secondary school students. Overweight and obesity are associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Therefore, there should be emphasis on implementing interventions to raise awareness about maintaining normal body mass index among the school students and thereby reducing the risk of mental disorders.

Background: Self-medication is defined as the use of drugs to manage a self-diagnosed disease or complaint, or the intermittent or continued use of a prescribed drug for chronic or recurrent disease or symptoms. Self-medication includes getting medications without a prescription, resubmitting old prescriptions to buy medicines, sharing medicines with relatives or members of one’s social circle, or using leftover medicines stored at home. Risks are related to many factors including not only the possible severe side effects of the drug itself, but also hazardous because of improper treatment. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was used targeting all population in Aseer region. The study was conducted during the period from May 2020 to August 2020. Data were collected using structured questionnaire which was developed by the researchers after intensive literature review and expert’s consultation. The questionnaire data included person’s socio-demographic data such as age, gender, and education. The second section of the questionnaire covered eye drops self-medication data. The questionnaire was uploaded online using social media platforms by the researchers and their relatives and friends to be filled in by all population in Aseer region. Results: A total of 209 participants completed the study questionnaire. Participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 65 years old with mean age of 32.9 ± 11.6 years. Exactly 152 (72.7%) participants were females and 158 (75.6%) had educational level of university or more. Regarding persons who advised participants to use eye drops, the most reported was the person themself (34.4%; 72) followed by family and friends (29.2%), and pharmacist (20.6%). As for causes of using unprescribed eye drops, 105 (50.2%) participants used the eye drops for itching in the eye, followed by eye redness (47.4%), eye pain (22.5%). Regarding side effects of used drops, the most reported was excessive lacrimation (5.7%), followed by blurred vision (5.7%), and eye inflammations (4.3%), Conclusions: In conclusion, the study revealed that there is a large portion of Aseer region population practicing self-medicating behavior based on their own concept or advice from friends and family most of the time, without consulting a specialized physician.

The COVID-19 pandemic emerged in late 2019. Previous research has shown a significant prevalence of burnout among physician trainees, with concern that the pandemic will increase burnout. We aimed to assess this risk among trainees at a large academic hospital. We performed a cross-sectional study during the pandemic using a survey that included the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The response rate was 94.7%. Among trainees, 58.5% changed their living arrangements to protect family. Psychological well-being was negatively affected in 81.7% and clinical performance in 64.3%; 13.8% were at high risk of burnout. Emotional exhaustion (EE) scores were high in 50% and depersonalization (DP) scores in 28.8%; a sense of personal accomplishment was low in 41.9%. Increased risk of burnout was associated with male gender and increased exposure to suspected COVID-19 cases. Risk of high EE correlated with an increased number of children and risk of high DP with male gender. High EE and DP score correlated with increased exposure to suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients. Trainees who self-isolated to protect family were more likely to experience high DP and burnout. Trainees in surgical specialties were more likely to feel their clinical performance was negatively affected. The results suggest that a significant percentage of trainees are at high risk of burnout during the pandemic especially those that attempted self-isolation. Training programs should incorporate methods to maintain well-being and coping, including adequate time off between shifts. Future research should evaluate other aspects of trainee well-being in relation to self-isolation and/or changed living arrangements.

Published: February 2021

A manutenção do equilíbrio entre a produção e o consumo de energia é essencial para a estabilidade da rede elétrica. Com a implantação das Smart grids, há uma mudança de paradigma: na rede tradicional, a produção adapta-se à demanda, mas nas smart grids, a demanda adapta-se à produção e faz com que o consumo de usuário seja mais eficiente. Os programas de Gerenciamento pelo Lado da Demanda (GLD) surgem como uma solução para ajustar o consumo do usuário à geração. A proposta deste trabalho é a criação de mecanismos de GLD direcionados para o usuário residencial no Brasil, utilizando os conceitos de IoT e de casas inteligentes. Foi criado o DEFLEGER-ECO, mecanismo de economia de energia elétrica usando Tarifa Branca, e o DEFLEGER-EMER, mecanismo emergencial voltado a redução de demanda durante eventos emergenciais. Os modelos foram simulados em quatro perfis de residências com a finalidade de avaliar seus desempenhos. Os resultados dos testes mostram que os mecanismos são eficientes e ajudam a reduzir a demanda conforme as metas de consumo do usuário e também em momentos críticos do sistema de potência.
