Smart irrigation system based on IoT
Authors: dheer arushi , sharma M. L. , tripathi krishna
Published: December 2020

Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. The Indian agriculture sector accounts for 18% of the gross domestic product and employs nearly 50% of the country's workforce, with increasing population, water shortage and ever-growing demand for food. Since the acres of land available for cultivation remains unchanged, it is critical that we take steps towards increasing productivity and optimizing water usage to increase yield from the land currently available for cultivation. Soil Analysis has become an essential factor for effective cultivation. The need for the automated irrigation system is to overcome over-irrigation and under-irrigation.[1] This research paper proposes an automated irrigation system using Arduino microcontroller, which is cost-effective and can be used on a farm field or average home garden. IoT is an upcoming technology with huge prospects. IoT is a technology which connects things, people, applications, data. Internet of Things (IoT)is a shared network of objects or things which can interact with each other provided the Internet connection—using this technology to implement this system at a lower scale to act as a base model. With the implementation of this project at a large scale, it could bring a significant change in the overall yield and water consumption in agriculture.

Mechanism Design for Fair and Efficient DSO Flexibility Markets
Authors: Tsaousoglou Georgios , Giraldo Juan Sebastian , Pinson Pierre , Paterakis Nikolaos
Published: December 2020

The proliferation of distributed energy assets necessitates the provision of flexibility to efficiently operate modern distribution systems. In this paper, we propose a flexibility market through which the DSO may acquire flexibility services from asset aggregators in order to maintain network voltages and currents within safe limits. A max-min fair formulation is proposed for the allocation of flexibility. Since the DSO is not aware of each aggregator's local flexibility costs, we show that strategic misreporting can lead to severe loss of efficiency. Using mechanism design theory, we provide a mechanism that makes it a payoff-maximizing strategy for each aggregator to make truthful bids to the flexibility market. While typical truthful mechanisms only work when the objective is the maximization of Social Welfare, the proposed mechanism lets the DSO achieve incentive compatibility and optimality for the the max-min fairness objective.
«Di pietra un Villanel, che da lontano par vivo»: il Villano con la falce di Valerio Cioli nel giardino mediceo di Pratolino
Authors: Sisi Alessia
Published: December 2020

In the second half of the 16th century, in the garden of the Medicean villa of Pratolino the sculptor Valerio Cioli created, among other groups, the Villano con la falce, which represented a peasant in the act of sawing the reeds in a marshy lake where there was a salamander that spurted water from its mouth. The salamander is now lost while the Villano has been identified so far by critics with the statue of the so-called Mietitore attributed to Cioli and now in the Boboli garden deposits.
In the 1990s, during restorations at Pratolino, a stone fragment of a male statue was found: through a careful analysis of the documentary and figurative sources as well as a close comparison with other works certainly by Cioli, this paper aims to recognize the fragment as the Villano con la falce.
L’esperienza formativa di Anton Domenico Gabbiani a Venezia. Disegni e dipinti inediti
Authors: Morelli Laura
Published: December 2020

This paper aims to cast new light on Anton Domenico Gabbiani’s first sojourn in Venice, which took place between 1678 and 1681, by following the two main biographies of the artist, written by Ignazio Enrico Hugford and Francesco Saverio Baldinucci, and by analysing new archival documents. Specific attention is given to the constant study of artworks by the great Venetian masters of the Sixteenth century, especially Titian, to whom Gabbiani devoted himself also in his later years, copying famous masterpieces of the Cadore painter. Through some unpublished drawings of the Uffizi and new or little-known paintings, the Venetian component of Gabbiani’s style is identified in the way of composing and in the execution of airy and light figures. The highlights and intense Venetian colorism contributed to the creation of sophisticated chiaroscuro modulations expressed in the mimetic rendering of animals and landscape settings.
Amori proibiti in palazzo Mondragone Carnesecchi. Un’inedita cupola di Antonio Puglieschi e una memoria medicea
Authors: Betti Marco
Published: December 2020

The recent discovery of a dome painted by Antonio Puglieschi in the Mondragone Carnesecchi palace, representing Mars and Venus surprised by Vulcan, offers the occasion to reflect on the symbols used by Francesco I de’ Medici and Bianca Cappello. According to an ancient rumor, the clandestine love encounters between Francesco and Bianca had taken place in that very same palace and the depiction of the mythological infidelity may alluded to that relationship. The paper analyses different sources which show that Francesco was often portrayed as Mars and Bianca as Venus: specific attention is given to the detailed description of their wedding celebrations which revolved around the theme of the meeting and love of Venus and Mars. It’s possible that the Del Vernaccia family, who owned the palace and commissioned the painting to Antonio Puglieschi, wanted to remember and somehow celebrate events that took place in those rooms more than a century before.
Per un profilo di Francesco Soderini, pittore «assai ragionevole nella storia e nei paesi, in grande e più in piccolo»
Authors: Leonelli Lisa
Published: December 2020

Francesco Soderini (1671-1736), father of Mauro Soderini (1703-1751), was a Florentine painter who worked for the last members of the Medici dynasty, expecially for the Electress of the Palatinate Anna Maria Luisa, the only daughter of the granduke Cosimo III de’ Medici.
Among the artist’s works, only the paintings for Villa La Quiete, the place where Anna Maria Luisa stayed during her last years, are well studied. This paper proposes new attributions to Soderini by recognising his style in some canvases presented on the art market and attributed to anonymous artists. These paintings contribute to a more accurate acknowledgement of the artist and of his style, which was very appreciated by his contemporaries.
Ancora su Giulio Pignatti ritrattista. Il mondo dei Grand Tourists e degli eruditi a Firenze
Authors: Leonelli Lisa
Published: December 2020

Giulio Pignatti or Pignatta (1679-1751), a painter from Modena who specialized in portraiture, arrived in Florence in 1705 and remained there until his death. During the fourty-six years spent in the Tuscan capital, he made contact with the last members of the Medici dynasty and with Grand Tourists as attested by the Portrait of Sir Andrew Fountaine with four friends in the Tribuna of the Uffizi, dated 1715. Pignatti’s oeuvre can now be expanded by another conversation piece commissioned in 1721 by Giuseppe Aversani’s pupils in the University of Pisa on the occasion of the gift of a gold medal, and by the portraits of Ludovico Tempi and Cosimo Del Sera which testifies that Pignatti worked for numerous Florentine noble families. By focusing on these paintings, the paper intends to provide a better understanding of the artist's career and patrons.

UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DA 3º CONFERÊNCIA DA EMPRESA LIMPA
Authors: Couto Felipe Fróes , Silva Larissa Oliveira , Carrieri Alexandre de Pádua
Published: December 2020

O debate sobre corrupção na última década cresceu em meio a uma realidade permeada de escândalos. Nosso interesse ao longo deste trabalho é aprofundar qualitativamente a discussão sobre a ética e a corrupção nas organizações privadas por meio da análise dos discursos empresariais em relação à iniciativa ProÉtica. O ProÉtica é uma ação simbólica que promove o reconhecimento público de empresas comprometidas com a prevenção e o combate a corrupção e que se esforçam para promover ambiente coorporativo mais integro, ético e transparente. Buscamos compreender os sentidos da ética conforme os discursos proferidos neste evento. O problema de pesquisa proposto para este artigo, portanto, é o seguinte: como foram construídos os discursos sobre a ética empresarial pelos gestores premiados na 3º Conferência da Empresa Limpa promovida pela CGU em 2016? Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada e qualitativa com abordagem descritivo-analítica. Como método de investigação, foi utilizada a análise crítica do discurso (ACD). Nossoganho reside em remover as opacidades dos discursos apresentados e disponibilizar ao leitor uma fonte de reflexão sobre a forma pelas quais se moldam as relações sociais à contemporaneidade. Entendemos que o “risco da corrupção” não pode ser simplesmente superada pela adoção de práticas de estímulo e reforço, mas que o assunto deva ser amplamentediscutido com todos os setores da sociedade para que possamos, de forma ampla e democrática, repensar as práticas empresariais e as noções contemporâneas sobre ética nas organizações.Palavras-Chave: Corrupção. Proética. Análise Crítica do Discurso.

Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o sentido e o significado da história de corrupção mais recente da política brasileira, especificadas como estão relacionadas ao Estado. A definição de alteração apresenta uma dificuldade quanto ao significado de uma ação corrompida. Essa dificuldade ocorre porque a corrupção não pode ser definida a partir de uma única disciplina, mas sim de uma perspectiva multidisciplinar, como: história, economia, administração pública, filosofia, ciência política, direito, antropologia e sociologia, além do contexto em que ocorre o ato político, que pode dizer respeito ao sistema político, econômico ou cultural.

Published: December 2020

A situação de calamidade pública ocasionada pela pandemia de Covid-19 colocou o direito à informação sob novas tensões no Brasil. Frente à publicação da Medida Provisória nº 928/2020, que flexibilizou prazos e procedimentos para o atendimento de pedidos de informação, regulamentados na Lei de Acesso à Informação, e sua posterior suspensão pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, o presente artigo buscou verificar se tais medidas tiveram impacto nos governos subnacionais. Para tanto, a pesquisa enviou pedidos de informação ao longo da semana imediatamente após a decisão do STF a todos os Estados, Capitais e Distrito Federal questionando se houve alteração de prazos e procedimentos referentes à LAI em função da pandemia. Como resultado da coleta de dados, tem-se que: 23% dos entes alteraram os prazos da LAI; 62% dos entes afirmaram não terem alterado; e 15% sequer responderam ou forneceram respostas evasivas. Com base nos referenciais bibliográficos e na análise de dados, o estudo busca contribuir com reflexões sobre a garantia do direito de acesso à informação no país, alertando sobre os possíveis impactos que situações de emergência podem representar aos direitos fundamentais.
MARCO NORMATIVO ANTICORRUPÇÃO PARA EMPRESAS: DESAFIOS PARA IMPLANTAÇÃO DE COMPLIANCE
Authors: Góis Veruska Sayonara de , Santos Antônia Edneuma dos , Rocha Ianara Maressa Macedo da
Published: December 2020

A Lei Anticorrupção (Lei 12.846/2013) sinalizou para a necessidade de compliance (art. 7º, VIII) como legislação indutiva para o setor privado, a partir do marco normativo de governança corporativa. Assim, pretende-se definir compliance e analisar as dificuldades para sua implantação, a partir do marco normativo. O tema é complexo, pois envolve teoria jurídica, econômica e política, tendo-se investigado com apoio das técnicas bibliográfica e documental. No caso do marco normativo nacional, percebe-se a indicação genérica dos mecanismos de integridade, sem clareza quanto aos procedimentos e autoridades responsáveis. Assim, o setor público ainda não respondeu, no sentido de efetivação, às demandas da lei. Por seu lado, o setor privado é instado a se adequar, criando seus programas de integridade, o que encontra obstáculos na generalidade e dispersão dos documentos normativos, bem como no custo da mudança.A
COMBATE À CORRUPÇÃO E APRIMORAMENTO DA GESTÃO: A DUALIDADE DO CONTROLE INTERNO NO BRASIL
Authors: Marx Cesar Augusto
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a dualidade existente no papel da Controladoria Geral da União, mostrando como essa dualidade está presente no aplicativo de controle interno e na atuação e na percepção dos seus servidores em relação ao papel da instituição. São incluídas como diversas teorias que conceituam controle interno, como atividades atualmente ativas pela CGU e como diferentes percepções de seus servidores em relação ao papel da instituição. A literatura encontrada sobre o papel dos órgãos de controle interno faz referência a dois polos de atuação, que parecem ser opostos, ou que parecem tratar a evolução de um para outro. Assim, o controle interno costuma ser classificado entre controle contábil e controle administrativo, controle positivo e negativo, controle da legalidade e controle do desempenho e da atividade de auditoria governamental em auditoria regulatória e operacional. Essa dualidade conceitual foi identificada tanto na percepção dos auditores quanto na atuação do órgão. Por fim, são propostas promocionais para promover internamente uma sensibilização dos servidores quanto ao papel do controle interno, para readequar uma metodologia de trabalho e para promover mudanças na estrutura organizacional que contribui para o fortalecimento das atividades de combate às atividades de atividades relacionadas a atividades de aprimoramento da gestão.

O presente artigo teve por objetivo realizar, sob o prisma jurídico-institucional, a análise das Propostas de Emenda à Constituição (PEC) em trâmite no Congresso Nacional referentes à mudança de estrutura (status) da Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU). Para o alcance desse intento, foi realizado um estudo comparado entre os modelos organizacionais nelas previstos, com remissões ao modelo ora presente na CGU, apontando suas características, seus pontos de convergência e suas zonas de discrepância. A metodologia adotada foi pesquisa bibliográfica e análise da legislação, utilizando-se o método indutivo. Como resultado, verificou-se a presença de duas propostas em processamento no Senado Federal. Uma delas, a PEC n. 45/2009, preconiza uma mudança de ordem macro nas atividades do sistema de controle interno da Administração Pública, atingindo, de maneira reflexa, a CGU no tocante à sua estrutura organizacional. A outra proposta – PEC n. 144/2015 – visa à reformulação da própria CGU, prescrevendo, entre outras coisas, a alteração de sua cadeia de comando e de seu locus governamental, e determina que tais inovações sejam posteriormente estendidas a todas as outras unidades de controle interno dos demais entes federativos.

Las generaciones del mundo según don Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayála
Authors: Szemiński Jan
Published: December 2020

The "Nueva Corónica y Buen Gobierno¨ of Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala can contribute to the understanding of Andean concepts of divinity and acts of creation. The ¨Corónica" contains vast portions of text which address God, while other sections describes different eras and worlds that were supposedly in existence before the Inca realm. Szemiński argues that such descriptions were written by Guaman Poma to explain the indigenous ideas to Europeans. Szemiński disagrees with the claim that the idea of five eras-epochs that Felipe Guaman Poma included in his account originated from European medieval concepts. He argues that this was a local, indigenous concept.
La imagen de la nación, nacionalismo, peruanidad en el Perú a cien años de su independencia
Authors: Nalewajko Małgorzata
Published: December 2020

The article describes how the concepts of nation, nationalism and Peruvian identity functioned in the 1920's after a 100 years of Peruvian independence. In this period newly emerged political groups and members of the intelligence started to discuss their varying concepts of national identity. Many intellectuals had conflicting ideas and engaged in a number of debates. However, it appears that the image of these ideas was not fully understood by the masses. An important factor was the fact that the majority of the population at the time did have its own indigenous culture and identity.

Published: December 2020

The study investigates how COVID-19 has transformed ESL learners' cognition due to the sudden shift from traditional classes to complete distant-virtual learning under the perpetual discourse of fear. The data were based on the semi-structured interviews taken by ESL learners and teachers from Punjab, Pakistan. A purposive sample of 20 female ESL learners of various social backgrounds was selected to record their lived experiences of COVID-19, which transformed their cognition. Two male and three female ESL teachers, based on purposive sampling, were also selected to investigate the reasons for the cognitive transformation of ESL learners during the pandemic. The discursive themes were explored by codifying and interpreting the qualitative data. Findings revealed that contagion had promoted bizarre linguistic forms about socio-cultural and economic transformation, which generated the discourse of fear and equally affected learner’s cognition and learning process. Researchers used transformative cognitive learning as a lens to analyze the discourse of fear, which worked as a theoretical framework to portray a prevailing threat under the surveillance of COVID-19. Consequently, it resulted in the cognitive transformation of ESL learners in Pakistan due to social, psychological, economic, and technological factors. The study recommends that proper planning and support of higher authorities and better methodologies by teachers may help learners attain desirable language proficiency in such a scenario. Further, the use of neutral and contextual language by media and teachers can overcome the prevailing fear among ESL learners and maximize learning outcomes through distance or online learning.
