Educação do Campo e algumas interfaces
Authors: Lopes Igor Gonzaga
Published: July 2024

A educação no campo brasileiro está inserida em um contexto político e social que influencia diretamente suas práticas e desafios. Historicamente, a educação campesina foi negligenciada pelas políticas públicas, refletindo uma visão de desenvolvimento que privilegiava as áreas urbanas e industriais em detrimento das áreas rurais. Essa visão se traduz em desigualdades profundas, que afetam não apenas a qualidade da educação, mas também o acesso e a permanência dos estudantes nas escolas.
Nos últimos anos, vimos um aumento significativo das políticas de austeridade e dos cortes orçamentários que atingem diretamente a educação pública, e a educação do campo não ficou imune a esses impactos. O fechamento de escolas rurais, por exemplo, muitas vezes justificado por razões de eficiência econômica, tem levado à dispersão dos alunos e ao enfraquecimento das comunidades locais. Além disso, programas como o Goiás TEC, que inicialmente prometiam modernização e melhoria da qualidade educacional, acabaram por revelar falhas estruturais e de execução que precisam ser criticamente avaliadas.
Este livro é um chamado à reflexão e à ação. A educação do campo precisa ser tratada como prioridade nas políticas públicas, garantindo que todas as crianças e jovens rurais tenham acesso a uma educação de qualidade, que respeite suas particularidades e valorize suas culturas. É fundamental que as políticas educacionais sejam construídas em diálogo com as comunidades locais, promovendo uma educação que contribua para o desenvolvimento sustentável do campo.

An implementation of a plasma physics application for distributed-memory supercomputers using a directive-based programming framework
Authors: Asch Christian , Francesquini Emilio , Meneses Esteban
Published: July 2024

To extract performance from supercomputers, programmers in the High Performance Computing (HPC) community are often required to use a combination of frameworks to take advantage of the multiple levels of parallelism. However, over the years, efforts have been made to simplify this situation by creating frameworks that can take advantage of multiple levels. This often means that the programmer has to learn a new library. On the other hand, there are frameworks that were created by extending the capabilities of established paradigms. In this paper, we explore one of this libraries, OpenMP Cluster. As its name implies, it extends the OpenMP API, which allows seasoned programmers to take advantage of their experience to use just one API to program in sharedmemory and distributed-memory parallelism. In this paper, we took an existing plasma physics code that was programmed with MPI+OpenMP and ported it over to OpenMP Cluster. We also show that under certain conditions, the performance of OpenMP Cluster is similar to that of the MPI+OpenMP code.

Published: July 2024

Scaling complexity and appropriate data sets availability for training current Computer Vision (CV) applications poses major challenges. We tackle these challenges finding inspiration in biology and introducing a Self-supervised (SS) active foveated approach for CV. In this paper we present our solution to achieve portability and reproducibility by means of containerization utilizing Singularity. We also show the parallelization scheme used to run our models on ThetaGPU–an Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) machine of 24 NVIDIA DGX A100 nodes. We describe how to use mpi4py to provide DistributedDataParallel (DDP) with all the needed information about world size as well as global and local ranks. We also show our dual pipe implementation of a foveator using NVIDIA Data Loading Library (DALI). Finally we conduct a series of strong scaling tests on up to 16 ThetaGPU nodes (128 GPUs), and show some variability trends in parallel scaling efficiency.

Optimization strategies for absorption chillers: A performance study on natural gas and LPG utilization
Authors: Hafiz Muneeb Ahmad  , Hassan Ali
Published: July 2024

This research aims to investigate optimization strategies for absorption chillers utilizing natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to enhance performance and efficiency. The study employs a combination of experimental analysis and mathematical modeling to evaluate the performance of absorption chillers operating with these two fuels. Through a series of controlled experiments and simulations, key performance metrics such as coefficient of performance (COP), energy consumption, and emissions are analyzed. The optimization process involves the application of advanced algorithms to identify the most efficient operational parameters for each fuel type. The key findings indicate that absorption chillers using LPG demonstrate a higher COP compared to those using natural gas, albeit with increased emissions. Conversely, natural gas-fueled chillers exhibit lower emissions but slightly reduced efficiency. The study also identifies optimal operating conditions for both fuels, which significantly improve overall performance. These findings have substantial implications for the HVAC industry, particularly in regions where natural gas and LPG are prevalent. The optimized strategies can lead to significant energy savings and reduced environmental impact, making absorption chillers a more viable option for sustainable cooling solutions. The results also provide a foundation for future research on further enhancing the performance and sustainability of absorption chillers.

Growing concerns about environmental problems associated with fuels have engineered so much research into biofuels, such as biodiesel. However, continuous and large-scale production of biodiesel from edible oil could result in serious food security problems if cheap and viable alternatives are not made available. To solve this problem, oil was obtained from non-food/ underutilized seeds of palm kernel using Soxhlet apparatus. Physicochemical properties and fatty acids composition of these oils were determined using standard analytical and instrumental methods. Biodiesel was processed from these oils via sequential base (KOH) homogeneous catalysis. Fuel properties of biodiesel from the oil were determined using standard methods and the results obtained were compared with standards. Oil yields were found to be 37.6% for palm kernel seed respectively. Physicochemical properties of palm kernel oil respectively are: saponification value:(115.00)mg KOH/g, acid value(4.488)mgKOH/g, free fatty acid value (2.244)mg/KOH/viscosity:(29)mm2/s, moisture content: (0.46)%, peroxide value:(3.12)meqkg-1,refractive index:(1.455), specific gravity (0.899)g/cm. Fuel properties of biodiesel from palm kernel seed oil respectively are: Kinematic viscosity at 40oc: (nil) mm2/s, smoke point (100oc), flash point(90oc),fire point:(150oc),pour point(nil) and cloud point:(nil).The physicochemical properties of the biodiesel produced showed that the flash point, viscosity, density, ash content, percentage carbon content, specific gravity and the acid value fell within American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications for biodiesel. Therefore, the biodiesel produced from the oil significantly met standard quality requirements.

STEEL ARCHITECTURE AVAILABLE FOR ALL. RENZO ZAVANELLA’S WORK BETWEEN DESIGN AND PRODUCTION (1946-1958)
Authors: Greco Laura , Spada Francesco
Published: July 2024

Renzo Zavanella stood out in the Italian framework for the research of architectural and construction solutions, which, taking advantage of steel construction, aimed at the mass production of buildings using prefabricated, demountable, reusable elements. Zavanella’s efforts to collaborate with the manufacturing sector, which was oriented toward the massive diffusion of steel architecture in the 1950s, are not well known. Through the analysis of key buildings, this study aims to highlight this collaboration. Between 1946 and 1958, there were two phases of the architect’s work: the first one concerned the construction of OM temporary exhibition pavilions (1946-1953); the second one, linked to the collaboration with UISAA and CECA, concerned prototypes for the assembly production of buildings. The steel structure service station (1954) represented the first project for the mass production of buildings, but the prototype was not built. The acme of this phase coincided with Expo 1958 when Zavanella developed a steel structure house project for UISAA, involved in the construction of the CECA pavilion. Budget problems forced the reduction of work; Zavanella reviewed the project for the exhibition, but the weakness of the context in which he worked manifested itself again. The contemporary Italian construction developments confirmed the obstacles that affected Zavanella’s work. Mass-produced buildings and the idea of a steel construction available for all remained largely unimplemented.
Non-Invasive Fetal Well-Being Monitoring Approaches: A Mini Review on Fetal Signal Separation Techniques
Authors: Mun Ng Li ,   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Jumadi Nur Anida ,   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
Published: July 2024

Fetal signal separation is vital in producing an accurate interpretation of the health condition of a fetal. In the context of a non-invasive fetal monitoring approach, the signals are acquired from the abdomen of pregnant women. As a result, a mix of maternal and fetal signals is obtained. These maternal and fetal signals are vague, as both signals are interchanged during the signal acquisition stage. Since the signals are overlapped, a signal separation technique must be employed to process the fetal signal for further analysis. This paper presents published studies on applying signal processing techniques involving fetal signal separation. These papers are obtained through a strategy known as the PRISMA technique. The online databases include ACM, Emerald Publishing, IEEE Explore Digital Library, Science Direct, Scopus, and Springer, with published years spanning from 2018 until 2022. Numerous separation techniques were found, such as adaptive filtering, blind source separation (BSS), and alternative approaches. Issues on the existing methods for fetal signal separation are discussed. In addition, the limitations and drawbacks of the research work involving existing fetal signal separation are reviewed in the paper. The potential direction of future research in this field is addressed as well. Based on this mini-review, it can be concluded that noise and ambiguity can still occur in the extracted fetal signals, even when signal processing techniques are applied. In the future, deep learning would be accommodating in improving the efficiency of extracting fetal signals obtained from the non-invasive fetal well-being monitoring technique. Meanwhile, apart from fetal heart rate (fHR) detection, fetal hypoxia can also be another important focus of study for improving fetal well-being monitoring.

Biometric technology has gained immense popularity as an effective solution for enhancing cybersecurity, specifically in countering financial fraud and security threats. EEG-based authentication is unique among biometric authentication methods due to its unparalleled confidentiality and non-replicability. This study explores the feasibility of using motor imagery tasks and rest conditions for human authentication. Ten physically fit subjects, aged between 20 and 28 years, participated voluntarily in the study. The subjects perform imaginary tasks involving their left and right-hand movement. Each task lasted for two minutes, separated by a one-minute break, and EEG data were collected using the EPOC+ device, which features 14-channel electrodes. The sampling frequency was set at 128 Hz. To extract relevant frequency information, Butterworth bandpass filters were employed to extract the alpha (8-13Hz), beta (14-30Hz), and gamma (30-42Hz) frequency bands. Linear features, such as power spectral density (PSD), were obtained using the Welch Method and the Burg Method, while spectral entropy was used to extract non-linear features. Statistical features mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum were derived from the PSD, and spectral entropy was used as input for the classifiers. Multiple classifiers, including k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), decision tree and Naive Bayes, were employed for the classification task. The Welch method combined with the support vector machine classifier achieved a higher classification accuracy of 96.83% for the beta waves from channels C3, C4, O1, and O2, corresponding to the frontal and occipital lobes. Interestingly, the rest conditions exhibited a higher classification accuracy of 96.83% compared to the motor-imagery tasks, which achieved 96.04%. The utilization of motor imagery tasks and rest conditions, along with the application of advanced classification techniques, holds promise for the development of robust and reliable biometric systems in cybersecurity.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious illness that affects the world. Early detection and prevention of CVD is thought to help reduce CVD mortality rates. Valvular heart defects will be challenging to diagnose without echocardiogram. Despite the fact that this method is relatively reliable, both the device and the process are time-consuming where this can be dangerous for those who require rapid medical attention. Therefore, this study would concentrate on the use of phonocardiogram (PCG) signals to provide early screening assessment for valvular heart defects such as aortic stenosis (AS), mitral stenosis (MS), mitral regurgitation (MR) and mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Signal processing techniques which involves pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification are applied to analyze PCG signal. Daubechies wavelet with 5th order (Db5) with 7th level of decomposition is used to remove undesirable signal in PCG signal and reconstructed back from 1 to level 6 Daubechies wavelet with 5th order. The signal was then segmented using average Shannon energy. The segmented signal is then entered into feature extraction process. Then, feature extraction was done in time-frequency analysis by using Stockwell transform which is also known as S-transform. Finally, the classification process was done using K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Ensemble classifier on all dataset with an overall best accuracy of 96.32%, 94.88% and 98.02%, respectively. This study’s outcome would be an advancement diagnostic tool that capable of analyzing PCG signal data and helps physicians by providing early detection for any valvular heart defects

Sambal merupakan makanan penyedap atau kondimen yang sangat sering dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Jenis sambal juga sangat beragam, salah satunya adalah sambal terasi yang banyak dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat. Sambal terasi merupakan jenis sambal yang dibuat dengan bahan tambahan terasi, yang berasal dari hasil fermentasi. Sambal terasi ini juga semakin berkembang dan sudah banyak diproduksi untuk bisa langsung dikonsumsi.  Apabila disimpan dalam waktu yang cukup lama di dalam kulkas, sambal terasi kemasan dan sambal terasi ulek juga bisa terkontaminasi oleh jamur Aspergillus flavus, yaitu jamur yang biasanya mengontaminasi makanan selama proses penyimpanan. Pengamatan secara mikroskopis dan makroskopis terhadap terasi yang sudah melalui proses penyimpanan menunjukkan adanya kontaminasi jamur Aspergillus flavus dengan persentase sebesar 66,67% (2 medium PDA), dibandingkan dengan kontrol (1 medium PDA) yang  tidak terkontaminasi jamur Aspergillus flavus dengan persentase sebesar 33,33%.
