Il programma di pontificato e il magistero di Giovanni Paolo I alla luce delle carte d’archivio: i sei «vogliamo» e la via ecumenica
Authors: FALASCA Stefania
Published: December 2024

Can we speak of novelty regarding the magisterium of a pope, more than forty-five years after his death? Yes, if we are talking about John Paul I, a pontiff who adopted a colloquial style in his speeches, who often modified the written text, or even renounced it in order to speak off the cuff. With the help of transcripts of archive television recordings, the magisterium of John Paul I has been reconstructed and published as he delivered it, along with the pontiff’s personal notes, written in a notebook and in the pontificate agenda. The teaching of John Paul I is presented here, therefore, in its authenticity, particularity and integrity.

Authors: Sathappan C.T.  , Kandasamy R.  , Sharvesh S.
Published: December 2024

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is one of the major fruit crops of India, which is the fifth most important fruit crop after banana in India. Red Lady is a high yielding dwarf variety of papaya, best suited and cultivated around Tamil Nadu. Although, Red Lady has gained much popularity in the domestic and export markets, there is always a difficulty in reaching the consumer hands with the good quality. So far, little attention has been paid to investigate the effect of pre-harvest chemicals on post-harvest quality of papaya. An experiment was conducted at a farmer’s field, Ammampalayam, Attur taluk, Salem district during the year 2019-2020 in order to evaluate the effect of pre-harvest treatments to enhance the post-harvest quality and Shelf life of papaya fruits. Papaya plants were sprayed with NAA @ 100 ppm, Potassium chloride @ 1.5%, Potassium nitrate @ 1.5% (as source of potassium), Calcium chloride @ 1.5%, Calcium nitrate @ 1.5% and Calcium sulphate @ 1.5% (as source of calcium) and the combination of NAA @ 100 ppm with potassium and calcium sources at 1.5% were sprayed at 21 days after flower anthesis onto the fruits. Control was sprayed with plain water. Spray applications were repeated every two weeks for six times. Results revealed that the quality parameters of fruits, viz., fruit firmness (kg cm-2), physiological loss (%), spoilage loss (%), percentage of marketable fruits (%) and Shelf life (Days) of the papaya were increased considerably with CaCl2 @ 1.5%. Therefore, spraying with 1.5% calcium chloride to the fruits is suitable for better post-harvest quality.
Green synthesis and characterization of tetrabutylammonium bromide-based deep eutectic solvent
Authors: Sharma Priyanka , Sawant Abhay
Published: December 2024

For decades “volatile organic solvents” (VOSs) and ionic liquids (ILs) have been used as promising solvents due to their interrelated and tunable properties. However, they have certain drawbacks as they are overpriced, detrimental, toxic, and poorly biodegradable. To subjugate these pitfalls of VOSs and ILs, the solvents known as “Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES)” are fabricated. The synthesis methods of DESs are green and environmentally benign. DESs are economical, nontoxic, biocompatible, and do not require any purification after synthesis. These solvents are the conjugation of hydrogen bond donors (HBD) and hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA) via hydrogen bonds. In our work, we have synthesized deep eutectic solvent combining tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and picric acid (PA) as a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in their 1:1 molar composition. The preliminary study involved a feasibility test carried off by a solid-liquid phase diagram. The resulting DES was characterized by using 1 H NMR & FTIR, and its thermal properties were studied using TGA, DTA, and DSC. In the near future, we will compute several physical properties and computational simulation studies of this newly synthesized TBAB-PA-based DES, and its various applications are in the making in our laboratory.

Authors: Koleva Svetlina , Ilieva Snezhana , Haralampiev Kaloyan , Karabelyova Sonya
Published: December 2024

The present study highlights the growing need to understand eco-
anxiety as a significant contemporary phenomenon associated with climate change
and its impact on mental health. It aims to measure eco-anxiety levels among
the Bulgarian population and to assess the applicability of the scale within the
Bulgarian sociocultural using an adapted version of the “Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale”
(HEAS-13). The results of the study confirm the original four-factor structure of the
instrument and demonstrate that the scale possesses strong psychometric properties,
making it a reliable tool for assessing eco-anxiety in Bulgaria. The study also reveals
higher levels of eco-anxiety among women compared to men, suggesting a gender
disparity in environmental concerns, consistent with previous studies showing that
women often exhibit stronger reactions to climate change. The findings enrich
the understanding of eco-anxiety as a multidimensional construct and provide an
empirical basis for a deeper comprehension of environmental concerns within the
Bulgarian population. The application of this scale in Bulgaria has the potential to
support the development of more effective policies and programs to address the
negative psychological effects of climate change, drawing attention to the need for
gender-sensitive approaches and psychological support.

The Role and Challenges of International Standards on Auditing in Diverse Economic Contexts
Authors: Vincent Sunday Mbuh
Published: December 2024

The adoption and implementation of International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) are crucial for ensuring consistent audit
quality and financial reporting integrity globally. These standards, established by the International Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board (IAASB), aim to provide a universal framework for auditing practices. Developed economies, such as
the United States and the United Kingdom, have leveraged strong regulatory frameworks and advanced technologies to
achieve high compliance with ISAs, thereby enhancing investor confidence and market stability. However, the disparity in
ISA adoption between developed and emerging markets raises critical concerns about global audit reliability and financial
transparency.
Emerging markets, including regions in Sub-Saharan Africa, face unique challenges that hinder ISA implementation.
Factors such as weak regulatory oversight, limited access to training, and cultural barriers contribute to inconsistent audit
practices. In Nigeria and Cameroon for instance, inadequate enforcement mechanisms and resource constraints have led to
irregularities in financial reporting, which significantly impact auditors’ ability to adhere to ISA guidelines. These systemic
issues not only undermine audit quality but also erode stakeholder trust in financial systems, creating barriers to economic
development and foreign investment.
This study explores the role and challenges of ISAs across diverse economic contexts, focusing on the factors affecting
their implementation and proposing strategies for improvement. Using a qualitative methodology, including case studies
such as CBC Health Services in Cameroon, the research underscores the need for tailored approaches to bridge the gap
in ISA adoption. Key recommendations include enhancing auditor training, integrating advanced auditing technologies,
and strengthening regulatory frameworks to ensure uniform application of ISAs globally. Addressing these challenges is
essential to achieving the overarching goal of financial stability and audit reliability worldwide.

O uso de máscaras faciais foi uma conduta valiosa para reduzir a transmissão do vírus SARS-CoV-2, sendo uma das principais estratégias adotadas para o enfrentamento na pandemia de COVID-19. A máscara cirúrgica classificada atualmente como máscara de uso odonto-médico-hospitalar é indicada para proteção de infecções por inalação de gotículas transmitidas à curta distância, já a PFF2 ou N95 retém as gotículas com a finalidade de proteger contra aerossóis. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil das notificações de queixas técnicas de máscaras de proteção respiratória no Sistema Notivisa da Anvisa. Foi realizada uma análise retrospectiva de dados referente às notificações de queixas técnicas das máscaras registradas no sistema Notivisa. Foram utilizados os seguintes filtros: período (01/01/2018 a 31/12/2021), nome do produto (máscara cirúrgica/ máscara de uso odonto-médico-hospitalar e PFF-2/N95) e tipo de evento (queixa técnica). Cada notificação foi avaliada, individualmente, classificada quanto ao tipo de máscara e os motivos das notificações, e, posteriormente, quantificadas e analisadas estabelecendo um perfil. No período de estudo foram realizadas 791 notificações e encontrados 1.134 problemas, pois, por vezes a notificação continha mais de um problema relacionado ao produto. Para as máscaras cirúrgicas e de uso odonto-médico-hospitalar foram registradas 593 notificações e 863 problemas observados e para as máscaras PFF2/N95 foram registradas 184 notificações e 271 problemas observados. Em 2018, foram realizadas 54 notificações no sistema, em 2019 (26), em 2020 (416), e 2021 (295). O estudo demonstrou que é necessária a implantação de programas de monitoramento que visam fortalecer as ações de vigilância pós-comercialização. Assim, destaca-se a importância do monitoramento sanitário com o objetivo de reduzir os riscos à população, além de retroalimentar o sistema com informações e melhorar a estratégia para aquisição de produtos seguros e de qualidade, evitando parte das notificações.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo visa realizar uma análise crítica da implementação de escolas ativas no Brasil, fornecendo uma visão geral histórica do conceito e seus desafios atuais. Utilizando uma abordagem de educação comparada, a metodologia empregada foi uma revisão de literatura que analisa iniciativas internacionais como o programa Let's Move! Active Schools nos Estados Unidos, o EUMove na União Europeia, entre outros, destacando a relevância global deste tema. No contexto brasileiro, também é importante reconhecer iniciativas como as empreendidas pelo Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD), em colaboração com órgãos governamentais, para promover escolas ativas. Esta investigação demonstra que, apesar da urgência imposta por indicadores de comportamento sedentário, a criação e implementação de escolas ativas se deparam com uma cultura de performatividade e uma busca por resultados quantificáveis dentro do sistema educacional brasileiro. Portanto, conclui-se que estabelecer um ambiente educacional ativo exige uma ruptura com a lógica prevalente de performatividade. Em vez disso, é necessário priorizar uma abordagem que valorize o movimento, a experimentação, a participação e a qualidade educacional.

Methane and electrical energy generation potential in a dairy farm
Authors: Soldano Felipe Bernardo , Castro Marcus Cesar Avezum Alves de
Published: December 2024

Brazil is one of the world's leading milk-producing countries, ranking 6th in global milk production. Consequently, the large number of dairy cattle leads to the generation of significant quantities of manure with a high energy potential, achievable through anaerobic digestion in biodigesters. The energy utilization of bovine waste presents itself as a viable environmental and economic alternative since improper management of such solid waste can cause adverse impacts on soil, air, and water. In this regard, this research explores the economic feasibility of energy generation from biogas produced in biodigesters operated with bovine waste and its use in the milking process on a medium-sized farm. The study was conducted on a dairy farm with 126 lactating animals raised under the Compost Barn system, which operates with mechanical milking. Methane generation estimation was carried out through daily waste weighing and analyses of total, fixed, and volatile solids. Using field-collected data, methane generation was estimated using mathematical models, which were subsequently converted into the potential for electrical energy generation. The energy generation potential was then compared to the property's energy consumption to evaluate the financial return in energy expense savings. The investment proved to be economically viable, with the internal rate of return exceeding the minimum attractiveness rate, and it showed a payback period of 5 to 6 years.

Para tanto, baseia-se na perspectiva decolonial de autores como, por exemplo, Dussel (1994), Mignolo (2008), Walsh (2009) e Palermo (2014), os quais apontam o uso de metodologias que permitem a (re)construção das identidades locais. Com isso, utiliza-se para análise os elementos que integram o Patrimônio Histórico de Bragança-PA, vistos como ferramentas didáticas importantes para a compreensão do processo histórico local interligado a contextos nacionais e globais.
Enhancing Text-to-Image Generation with Diversity Regularization and Fine-Grained Supervision
Authors: Qi Yujuan , Guo Debao
Published: December 2024

Generating high-quality and realistic objects in the field of generation poses a significant challenge in artificial intelligence. Text-to-image generation technology is one of the focal points of research in this cutting-edge area. Currently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for text-to-image generation face two major issues: the mode collapse problem in conditional GANs is increasingly severe, and some existing models rely solely on sentence-level features, resulting in a lack of detailed features in the generated images. To address these problems, we propose a concise and efficient generative adversarial network named Text-to-Image Generation with Fine-Grained Supervision (T2IG-DFGAN). Its innovations include: (1) Introducing a regularization loss that guides the generator to produce diverse images under similar noise inputs by calculating pixel-level image differences and input noise differences; (2) Incorporating word-level features and introducing a fine-grained text matching loss to enhance image details. Compared to the current state-of-the-art techniques, T2I-DFGAN performs better in synthesizing realistic images that match text descriptions and demonstrates superior performance on multiple commonly used datasets.

Active Perception in SLAM Exploration: Problem Formulation and Methods Review
Authors: Du Wenlong
Published: December 2024

Active SLAM (A-SLAM) aims to enable an agent’s autonomous exploration and mapping task, provide robustness and accuracy in both localization and mapping and enhance environmental adaptivity in applications. Its working principle, as a holistic probabilistic-based problem in model formulation, can be divided into three decoupled working stages and accordingly solved, these stages are brief action identification, cost and utility computation, and action execution. The identification stage needs reasoning on what and where to look at in order to diminish uncertainty in an efficient fashion, by employing sensory methods and performing searching or optimization tasks with appropriate environmental representations, to feed the following stages with a discretized set of planning goals. This is the active perception problem by definition. The activeness of active SLAM is mostly decided at the perception stage with appropriate quantifying measures. This paper revisits the formulation of the A-SLAM problem especially by the stage of active perception, reviews its environmental representations (maps) and related modeling measures for information and uncertainty, underlines a sample-based aim of maximizing the information gain from sensors with respect to corresponding maps, and make comments on some novel approaches.
Comparative Analysis of Traditional and Alternative Engines: Advancements and Impacts on Sustainability
Authors: Ma Ruide
Published: December 2024

Traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs) have accompanied humans for a long time and have developed to contain good performance and high reliability. However, the emissions of traditional engines play a big role in environmental pollution, which goes against the most important tenet of human development—sustainable development. To radically deal with this concern, alternative engines have been invented and developed these years instead of further study of traditional engines. Alternative engines, including hybrid, fuel cell, and electric engines, are designed to convert energies from renewable resources to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Alternative engines are also beneficial for saving costs of fuel because of their higher fuel efficiency, which is a valuable factor for choosing a vehicle with such an engine as the family car. Each kind of alternative engine has its drawbacks, such as the high maintenance rate of hybrid engines, limited driving range of battery electric vehicles (EVs), and possibly high GHG emissions of fuel cells. These are factors for the comparison of engines and should be considered when choosing an engine that is suitable for a specific situation.

Authors: Tao Ran
Published: December 2024

Sensor fusion technology plays a crucial role in autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems by integrating data from multiple sensors to achieve more accurate, reliable, and comprehensive environmental perception. Radar and cameras are commonly used sensors, each with its own advantages and limitations. Radar detects the position and velocity of objects through electromagnetic waves, offering all-weather operational capability but with low spatial resolution. Cameras capture high-resolution images using light signals, suitable for detailed object recognition, but their performance is significantly affected by lighting conditions. Sensor fusion technology can combine the strengths of radar and cameras, compensating for the shortcomings of individual sensors, and enhancing the accuracy and robustness of environmental perception. Data-level fusion processes and combines raw data to retain maximum information, improving the system's perception accuracy. Feature-level fusion extracts and combines features to reduce data volume and improve efficiency. Decision-level fusion independently processes sensor data to generate decisions, which are then fused together. Despite the significant advantages of sensor fusion technology, practical applications still face challenges such as data synchronization and calibration, uncertainty and noise, computational complexity, algorithm robustness, data transmission bandwidth limitations, and standardization issues. The forthcoming trend involves the convergence of deep learning algorithms with sensor fusion, multi-modal data fusion, online calibration technology, and the proliferation of low-cost, high-performance sensors, which will be key areas for technological breakthroughs. Continuous technological advancements and innovations will further enhance the safety and reliability of autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems, bringing revolutionary changes to the transportation sector.
