Published: January 2025

Adolescents are vulnerable to tuberculosis (TB), some with severe forms like miliary TB, due to biological, psychosocial, and environmental factors. Schizoaffective disorder, though rare, adds complexity to TB management, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. This report aims to describe the comprehensive management of a 17-year-old female with miliary TB, anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ADIH), and schizoaffective disorder, emphasizing the interplay between infectious disease and mental health. A 17-year-old female presented with shortness of breath, chronic cough, prolonged fever, and weight loss. Diagnosed with miliary TB via GeneXpert MTB/RIF testing and imaging, she was treated with first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. On day 12, the patient developed ADIH, necessitating temporary discontinuation of particular anti-tuberculosis drugs and gradual reintroduction of therapy. Concurrent psychological evaluations revealed schizoaffective disorder, managed with psychiatric medication and counseling. Over 12 months, the patient exhibited clinical and psychological improvements, supported by family involvement and environmental adjustments. Integrated medical and psychosocial strategies are required in managing complex TB cases. Addressing comorbid mental health conditions and fostering a supportive environment is crucial for optimizing outcomes. The findings highlight the comprehensive management of complex TB and schizoaffective disorder using pharmacological and psychological therapy.
Strategy for Developing Student Dakwah Competencies in the Field Dakwah Training Program at MTs Al-Mu'min Muhammadiyah Tembarak
Authors: Fakhrudin Fakhrudin , Haris Abdul , Yazid Syamsurizal
Published: January 2025

This research aims to describe the standards of student da'wah competency at MTs Al-Mu'min Muhammadiyah Tembarak as well as their development strategies in the Field Da'wah Training (PDL) program. This research was carried out using a qualitative approach with a case study type, where data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The validity of the data is tested using source triangulation techniques, while data analysis is carried out through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that MTs Al-Mu'min Muhammadiyah Tembarak has developed student missionary competency standards and development strategies comprehensively, through an integrative approach between theory and practice. The competency standards developed include a correct understanding of religion which is internalized in the activities of the call to prayer, congregational prayer, cult, dawn lectures and teaching TPQ; be an MC at an event; have moral character; able to understand the internalized environment through being active in social activities; and self-control in the form of discipline as substantive competence. Furthermore, the ability to plan, implement and evaluate various designed activities becomes part of the methodological competence developed. The strategy for developing students' da'wah competence at MTs Al-Mu'min Muhammadiyah Tembarak is outlined in four forms of activities, namely presentation of da'wah fiqh subjects, muhadloron familiarization, micro teaching practice, and debriefing carried out before departure to the PDL location.

Authors: Sappaile Baso Intang , Hartinah Galuh , Hendrik Hendrik , Sumanik Ermi Dikta
Published: January 2025

The objective of this investigation is to examine the impact of project-based learning on secondary school students' collaborative abilities. This investigation utilizes qualitative research methods and a case study approach. To this end, data were collected via direct observations of students' interactions during the project, in-person interviews with students and teachers to gain insight into their experiences, and an analysis of documents such as project assignments, reports, and students' reflections. Findings from the study demonstrated that the integration of PBL led to substantial advancements in students' collaboration abilities. These enhancements can be categorized into three main aspects: communication skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. The analysis of communication skills revealed that students exhibited an improvement in conveying ideas and attending to others' opinions, indicating enhanced interactive processes. Furthermore, students displayed an enhancement in teamwork, which included effective task allocation and reciprocal assistance in accomplishing shared objectives. Additionally, problem-solving skills exhibited by students demonstrated a marked progression, with students attaining creative and innovative solutions through collaborative efforts. The findings of this study offer significant insights into the merits of incorporating project-based learning methodologies within the secondary school curriculum, with the aim of cultivating critical collaboration skills in students to equip them to confront challenges in their future educational and professional pursuits.The effective integration of this pedagogical approach necessitates comprehensive support from educators in their role as facilitators, along with students' readiness to engage in a more interactive and participatory learning process. Further exploration through research is warranted, focusing on the implementation of this pedagogical approach across diverse contexts and academic levels. Such inquiry would serve to enhance the comprehension and practical implementation of project-based learning strategies in cultivating students' collaborative skills.

Climate robustness as a spatial and societal challenge. Building blocks for legitimate adaptation strategies

The problem of climate change is high on the various political-administrative agendas, both national and international. At the same time the problem is full of uncertainties and controversies. Adaptation to climate change asks for adjustments in our spatial planning, but can also necessitate changes in the distribution of public and private responsibilities. A crucial question is how the legitimacy of adaptation measures can be organized in a context surrounded with uncertainties, controversies and conflicting interests. In this paper we introduce the central theme of this special issue and the various contributions.

De investeringsstaat en het verdelingsvraagstuk: waarom is de armoede niet gedaald?
Authors: Cantillon Bea , Van Lancker Wim
Published: January 2025

The investment state and the question of distribution: why is poverty not reduced?

In the past decades, employment and incomes were on the rise, social spending remained high while passive welfare states were progressively transformed into so-called ‘investment states’. Despite these favourable conditions, however, contemporary welfare states did not succeed in reducing poverty and inequality. What lies beneath the disquieting poverty standstill and how did welfare states miss this ‘window of opportunity’? In this article, we aim to shed more light on this question. We identify three structural trends behind the poverty standstill: rising employment has benefited workless households only partially; income protection for the working-age population out of work has become less adequate; social policies and, more generally, social redistribution have become less pro-poor. In other words, the reorientation of social expenditures to the employed occurred at the expense of those at risk in the labour market. The success of future poverty-reducing strategies will depend on the way policies aimed at labour market inclusion will be implemented and the emphasis on redistributive policies.

When systems collide: dealing with co-existence conflicts in agriculture

Agricultural production systems may influence each other in a negative way, with conflicts as a consequence. In general, such conflicts are resolved technically in an ad hoc manner, at farm or greenhouse level. There is no structural attention to so-called co-existence problems. This article makes a plea for acknowledging such problems as policy issues and for grouping these together under the label of co-existence conflicts, broadening this phrase beyond its traditional meaning related to conventional, organic and GM crop production. Co-existence conflicts are concrete, local expressions of the tensions between conflicting values incorporated in the current agricultural system. It is argued that because they are manifestations of conflicting value systems, they offer useful stepping-stones to practically organise and channel discussions on sustainable development in agriculture.

The discipline of science – putting the theories of change of polarization and radicalization policy to the test

Currently the Dutch government funds dozens of social interventions designed to tackle polarization and radicalization issues. It is still unknown whether the assumptions underlying these interventions are valid. This article puts the theories of change of such interventions to the test. Underlying causal assumptions of four dominant Dutch social policies were confronted with scientific evidence: (1) the system-based approach, (2) peer mediation, (3) intergroup contact and (4) self-esteem enhancement. System-based approaches – comparable to multi-systemic therapy (MST) – seem effective in reducing extremist behaviour in radical youth, but do not necessarily lead to an ideological change. In peer mediation, the causal link between the deployment of young people and the positive outcomes of such methods remains unclear. Peer mediation is also more likely to contribute in conflicts that have not yet escalated. Intergroup contact reduces prejudices about other groups, but has a limited effect. There is also no evidence for a long term effect and positive outcomes of intergroup contact do not automatically apply to adolescents. Finally, it is questionable that enhancing the self-esteem of (moslim) youth makes them more resilient against radical tendencies. In the same vein, the scientific evidence is ambiguous about whether increasing self-esteem results in social desirable behaviour or improved social relations.

What happened locally. The development of local political parties, ‘Liveable’ parties, and Pim Fortuyn

When people think of Pim Fortuyn, most of them mainly remember his national campaign and (electoral) debates. However, Fortuyn also had an impact in local politics. With the local party Liveable Rotterdam (Leefbaar Rotterdam) he won the 2002 Rotterdam municipal elections with almost 35 procent of the votes and was involved in coalition talks with the Liberal Party and the Christian Democratic Party. Without Fortuyn, who was murdered in 2002, Liveable Rotterdam was able to implement several parts of its electoral programme (Van Ostaaijen 2010, 2011). But Fortuyn’s anti-establishment attitude was not unprecedented at the local level. Many local parties, meaning parties not affiliated to a national party, already portrayed styles of anti-establishment, especially the so-called ‘Liveable’ (Leefbaar) parties. In this article, the development of those parties, mainly since 2002, is described and discussed. The electoral results of these parties are, where possible, linked or hypothesised to the rise of Fortuyn.

Elite Ethics

This paper reports on a qualitative interview study into the prioritization and interpretation of public values government elites in the Netherlands, comparing value preferences between political and administrative elites. Based on 65 in-depth interviews with MPs, ministers and senior civil servants, statements on four public values (responsiveness, expertise, lawfulness, transparency) that have been deducted through a substantive literature review, are coded and categorized. Overall, political and administrative value preferences in the Netherlands turn out to be more similar than they are different. However, mutual perceptions emphasize differences and contrasts. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are offered and hypotheses are formulated for future studies.

Moral responsibility amidst plurality

The lessons learned from the financial crisis are not necessarily limited to the financial sector. Both the financial sector and the public sector have to deal with perverse effects. The effects can be related to a reduction of complexity and plurality through introducing (oversimplified and one dimensional) models and financial incentives. However, in doing this, complexity and plurality are often lost: the neglect of multiple interests, goal replacement and too much focus on short term results. As a consequence perverse effects arise.

Public sectors and organizations face internal and external pressure to act as they do. At the level of organizations or groups this may involve groupthink; at institutional level uniformity is promoted by the dynamics of isomorphism. This article is a critique on simplification and a plea for the (re)introduction of plurality. More specifically, we stress the importance of individual moral responsibility as a resource for and a way to preserve plurality. Not because that is the only option, but because it is an option that we believe deserves more attention. Other options such as changing regulations and changing the structure of supervision are already broadly discussed. We want to draw attention to the individual as parts of multiple organizations and systems. Individuals are therefore a natural carrier of multiplicity and plurality. Taking moral responsibility serious is not an easy task, but a meaningful step towards awareness of perverse effects due to reduction of complexity and plurality.

Realizing public value through social entrepreneurship

This article discusses the realization of public value through social entrepreneurship. It shows practices that can at present be seen in the Dutch society and answers the question: what is the relation between social entrepreneurship and the realization of value in the public domain? We conclude that public value is at the same time the result of the efforts of a social entrepreneur (person) in the beginning of his endeavors, the presupposition for social entrepreneurship (activity) in the phase of growth and the good that is preserved by the social enterprise (organization) by the time it has matured. In realizing public value social entrepreneurs come into contact with government. For government this encounter has quite an awkward nature since government has at the same time both a say (it is responsible for policy) and no say (it is not responsible for individual social entrepreneurial initiatives) regarding the realization of value in the public domain through social entrepreneurship.

The never-ending story of public administration: Complexity, innovation and Big Society

‘Big Society’ has been one of those inspirational concepts that have recently swept through the public administration literature. With their appeal for a ‘Big Society’, the British Tories contrasted their policy program with Labours’ traditional ‘Big Government’ program. Upon closer inspection, however, it is revealed that the underlying analysis is not new at all, but reflects a specific analysis that can be traced back to Wilson’s famous essay on the study of public administration in 1887. Stripped from its details, the never-ending story claims that public administration now struggles with overwhelming complexity, which makes traditional bureaucratic methods obsolete and calls for innovative, new approaches. The fact that this story has remained fairly constant for over 125 years is cause for some concern. The article traces the historical genesis of this never-ending story and lands on a plea for more sophisticated attention for administrative history, more critical scrutiny of new ideas and more serious study of the nature and effects of complexity.

Prolegómenos a una edición crítica contemporánea de «La Circe», de Lope de Vega: a propósito de su transmisión textual, seis variantes y dos voces
Authors: López Lorenzo Cipriano
Published: January 2025

Salvo por la edición de José Manuel Blecua allá por 1969, el lector contemporáneo no dispone de un texto crítico de una de las apuestas más ambiciosas y representativas del Lope cortesano: La Circe, con otras rimas y prosas (1624). Tradicionalmente, se ha puesto más interés en sus novelas y romances que en los grandes poemas que acoge, por lo que carecemos de estudios sobre el conjunto del volumen que ofrezcan una imagen cabal y contextualizada del autor y sus intereses en los primeros años del reinado de Felipe IV. Para reflejar esa desatención injustificada y revitalizar su lectura nos hemos propuesto hacer un breve recorrido por su transmisión textual hasta detenernos en seis variantes y un par de sugerentes voces de «La Circe», poema mitológico que da título a la miscelánea. Con estos prolegómenos esperamos evocar el enorme trabajo ecdótico aún por hacer y el fascinante potencial interpretativo que alberga este singular “portfolio” de 1624.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, gli albori dello spiritismo e il Dante-medium
Authors: Camilletti Fabio
Published: January 2025

Muovendo da un esperimento spiritico condotto negli Stati Uniti nel 1874 e centrato sulle comunicazioni ultraterrene fra una donna morta e il suo amante vivo, rinominati ‘Beatrice’ e ‘Dante’, l’articolo discute la centralità della mediazione preraffaellita nell’appropriazione di Dante da parte del movimento spiritista ottocentesco. In particolare, mostra come l’opera di Dante Gabriel Rossetti abbia avuto, in questo processo, un ruolo pionieristico, attraverso l’analisi di una manciata di opere che – a ridosso della nascita dello spiritismo moderno – propongono un’immagine di Dante come medium. Più che subire passivamente l’immaginario dello spiritismo, dunque, Rossetti contribuisce piuttosto a plasmarlo, dando vita non tanto a un dantismo ‘spiritico’ quanto a un vero e proprio spiritismo ‘dantesco’.

Are future teachers academically motivated?
Authors: Alvariñas-Villaverde Myriam , Domínguez-Lloria Sara , Agrelo-Costas María Eulalia , Pino-Juste Margarita
Published: January 2025

Academic motivation is essential in future teachers, as they will be the educators of the next generations. The aim of this work was to study the degree of global academic motivation, self-efficacy, achievement motivation and causal attribution of achievement in this group, observing the influence of personal and academic variables. The sample consisted of 266 female and 58 male university students of Primary Education and Early Childhood Education, with an average age of 21.77 years. The School Motivation Scale (Barrientos- Chuqui, 2011) was used. The results indicated, overall, a medium-high tendency in academic motivation and in the three constructs of which it is composed. Female students had higher achievement motivation and male students had higher self-efficacy. Causal attribution and self-efficacy were higher in Primary Education students. There were no differences according to choice of specialisation. The best motivation scores were in the final year, and the higher the age, the better the motivation ratings, with the exception of self-efficacy. It is suggested that there is a need to design interventions that address gender differences and improve some motivational dimensions in the Early Childhood Education Degree and in the first academic years.
European Degree
Authors: Cardona Rubio Sara
Published: January 2025

In 2024, the European Commission announced the latest development in the European Education Area: the European Diploma. The aim is to create a new type of qualification that will be automatically recognised throughout the EU. This project responds to various trends currently observed. For example, the consolidation of the knowledge economy; the need to achieve strategic autonomy; and the urgency of combating growing social inequalities, which contribute to creating polarised societies.
Analysing the European Diploma from a sociological perspective reveals its paradoxical nature. The Diploma seeks to be inclusive and to foster European identity, yet it is intrinsically exclusive. This is due to two of the programme's requirements: multilingualism and international mobility. This article will show how, while these elements can benefit students, they can also reproduce discriminatory dynamics. Attention will be paid to understanding how social origin can affect language learning and the possibility of international mobility.

Published: January 2025

A indústria de móveis representa uma atividade econômica tradicional com relevante impacto ambiental, caracterizada também pelo ritmo lento na adoção de tecnologias avançadas. A literatura científica aponta que diversas tecnologias da indústria 4.0 podem contribuir para maior eficiência produtiva e mitigação do impacto ambiental. Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar as contribuições da adoção do Big Data no processo de fabricação de móveis para mitigar o impacto ambiental. Além do estudo de caso único, utilizou-se abordagem qualitativa e coleta de dados por entrevistas com dez profissionais, observação participante e levantamento documental. Os resultados mostraram que a empresa adota o Big Data tanto para maior eficiência produtiva quanto para mitigar impactos ambientais, melhorando o controle da matriz energética, consumo de insumos e evitando/reduzindo retrabalho, controlando a movimentação interna e otimizando o espaço de armazenamento. Algumas aplicações da tecnologia foram consideradas viáveis tecnicamente, mas não economicamente, como no controle de consumo de água e efluentes, bem como na gestão de embalagens de polímero, reforçando a necessidade de registro sistemático de custos envolvidos para respaldar as decisões gerenciais.

Uso da análise multivariada no estudo dos aceleradores de vulcanização. Parte II: análise de agrupamentos (Cluster analysis)
Authors: Costa Helson Moreira da , Ramos Valéria Dutra
Published: January 2025

A análise de agrupamentos e a análise discriminante linear fazem parte da análise multivariada de dados e foram empregadas neste estudo para a classificação de 100 moléculas orgânicas, as quais congregam espécies já usadas nos primórdios do processo de cura; espécies com potencial uso como aceleradores do processo de vulcanização; e, espécies que pertencem a famílias com emprego comercial difundido. O procedimento permitiu a subdivisão do conjunto de moléculas em quatro subconjuntos, o que foi posteriormente validado, pois se atingiu 97% de assertividade nas classificações. Os resultados encontrados não apenas corroboraram as hipóteses elencadas na parte I da investigação, mas também permitiram inferir que possíveis novos aceleradores poderiam estar contidos nos agrupamentos denominados de 3 e 4. Tal conclusão é oriunda da presença de espécies comerciais como as sulfenamidas (CBS, TBBS e MOR) e guanidinas (DPG e TPG), além do tiazol MBTS e o seu derivado oxigenado, em tais clusters.

Ao longo de sua história, hospitais públicos brasileiros, incluindo os universitários, foram conduzidos por uma gestão pouco qualificada, inclusive na área assistencial, em que se trabalha de forma individualizada, com pouca interação entre os profissionais envolvidos no atendimento ao paciente. Para melhorar a gestão dos Hospitais Universitários Federais, o Ministério da Educação criou a EBSERH, instaurando metas de desempenho, prazos e indicadores, além de investir em recursos humanos, infraestrutura e tecnologia.  O estudo contempla uma proposta de intervenção que consiste em difundir o passo a passo de um modelo de Gestão Assistencial para os hospitais universitários conveniados à rede EBSERH, baseado na cogestão e dispositivos como o Kanban, NIR (Núcleo Interno de Regulação) e painel de Indicadores. Trata-se de pesquisa aplicada, qualitativa, num contexto de revisão bibliográfica do tipo Revisão Narrativa, com proposta de intervenção. A população é o conjunto de dispositivos e ferramentas de gestão na esfera assistencial dos hospitais e a amostra se caracteriza pelos quatro dispositivos selecionados pelos autores (Unidade de Produção/Cogestão, Kanban, Núcleo Interno de Regulação e Painel de indicadores). O Modelo de Gestão Assistencial a ser implantado nos hospitais da Rede EBSERH servirá como embrião ao desenvolvimento de uma assistência cada vez mais profissionalizada e qualificada. A implementação de um Modelo de Gestão Assistencial para os hospitais EBSERH, baseado na cogestão e em dispositivos básicos de gestão assistencial, proporcionaria uma qualificação da assistência baseada em inovação e evidência científica, trazendo qualidade e eficiência, além de proporcionar uma posição de destaque entre os hospitais públicos brasileiros.

A problemática em ofertar aulas remotas durante a Covid-19 tencionou uma discussão antes não colocada: o que é a Educação a Distância (EaD) exatamente? Qual sua relação com o ensino remoto e de que tipo de educação estamos falando? Objetivou-se aqui tratar do entendimento entre as formas de ensino ditas erroneamente como EaD e do preconceito negativo advindo da falta de informação, de forma a deixar claras, definições básicas sobre a temática para que não sejam proferidos os recorrentes discursos errôneos. São feitas aqui reflexões sobre: (1) Diferenciação entre Educação e Ensino; (2) Presencial e a Distância como oportunidades igualmente importantes e geradoras de exclusões diferentes; (3) Provocações advindas com o Ensino Remoto Emergencial; e, por fim, (4) Qualidade e robustez da EaD.

O Rio Sena, ícone natural e cultural de Paris, tem papel histórico e econômico crucial, influenciando o desenvolvimento urbano e as rotas comerciais. Apesar dos esforços de despoluição, sua qualidade hídrica ainda preocupa, especialmente com a ocorrência das Olimpíadas de 2024, quando o aumento da pressão sobre os recursos agrava os proble-mas de poluição. A conservação da água é essencial para o equilíbrio ecológico e a saú-de pública, alinhando-se aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). A ges-tão inadequada pode resultar em sérios riscos à saúde de atletas e à biodiversidade. A responsabilidade pela qualidade da água deve ser compartilhada entre o governo francês e o Comitê Olímpico Internacional, com investimentos em infraestrutura e saneamento. Paralelamente, conscientização e educação ambiental são fundamentais para a adoção de práticas sustentáveis. Durante o evento, fatores como temperatura, ação hidrodinâmica e presença de luz influenciam diretamente a qualidade da água. A presença de efluentes, metais pesados e substâncias tóxicas comprometem tanto a saúde humana quanto aos ecossistemas aquáticos. Portanto, medidas proativas de saneamento e gestão ambiental são imperativas para evitar impactos negativos na saúde da população. Garantir a preservação do Sena é essencial não apenas para as Olimpíadas, mas também para a biodiversidade e a sustentabilidade de longo prazo.

Objetivou-se com essa pesquisa avaliar a morfogênese e a estrutura das gramíneas Panicum maximum cv. Massai e Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu adubadas com diferentes fontes de adubos orgânicos. O experimento foi realizado em vasos, em ambiente protegido na área experimental da Universidade Estadual do Piauí. Adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2 x 4, sendo duas gramíneas (B. brizantha cv. Marandu e P. maximum cv. Massai), três tipos de adubos (esterco bovino, esterco ovino, esterco cama-de-galinha) e a testemunha, perfazendo 32 parcelas. A semeadura foi realizada diretamente nos vasos, colocando-se cinco sementes por vaso e, sete dias após a emergência, realizou-se o desbaste, deixando duas plantas por vaso. Após 35 dias de cultivo realizou-se o corte de uniformização a 20 cm do solo. As avaliações foram realizadas a cada sete dias após o corte de uniformização até os 35 dias. Em cada vaso foram marcados três perfilhos aleatoriamente com barbantes coloridos, e registrados os dados referentes às características morfogênicas e estruturais. Não houve influência dos tipos de adubos nas características avaliadas, exceto para o número de folhas vivas e para o comprimento final do colmo, onde se percebe maiores valores no Massai adubado com esterco ovino. No Marandu observou-se menores tempos para aparecimento de folhas quando comparadas com a Massai, e maior quantidade total de folhas. Recomenda-se qualquer um dos substratos estudados para o cultivo de ambas as gramíneas, bem como o cultivo da gramínea Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu, em detrimento à Panicum maximum cv. Massai.

Media streaming over the Internet is dominated by Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming solutions. These solutions typically host the required media files on multiple content delivery networks (CDNs). To avoid outages and performance problems, selecting the optimal CDN is an essential step in the media streaming workflow. Content steering allows a distributor to switch a player's CDN source through a remote steering service. This paper focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of content steering for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH). We highlight the essential features of the DASH-IF Content Steering specification and demonstrate our implementation in an open-source media player (dash.js). Moreover, we illustrate how streaming metrics based on the CTA-5004 (CMCD) specification and information about the Internet Service Provider can drive the selection mechanism on the steering server. Our results show that content steering enables a seamless transition between different CDNs and has the potential to improve the quality of experience for the end-user significantly.

This paper presents a real-time implementation of a platform jointly developed by InterDigital and Philips that showcases use cases leveraging the MPEG volumetric (MPEG-I V3C) and 2D video standards Versatile Video Coding [VVC], High Efficiency Video Coding [HEVC]. We will detail how our platform enables interoperability within existing and emerging extended reality (XR) ecosystems, including the acquisition, streaming, and real-time interactive playback of volumetric video on current and future client devices for use in applications like telelearning, free-viewpoint sports replays, and 3D telepresence in connected ecosystems like the metaverse. MPEG's Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding (V3C) standard is an extensive framework for coding volumetric video, from dynamic point clouds (V-PCC) to multiview plus depth and multiplane image representations (MIV). It offers a single bitstream structure with a uniform bridge to systems-level standards. The V3C carriage standard defines how volumetric content can be stored, transported, and delivered to the end user. It repurposes existing 2D video hardware decoding capabilities and graphic processing units (GPUs) to decode and render volumetric video.
