Micromorphological characterization and electron microscopic study of parasitic species of the family Loranthaceae Juss.
Authors: Aljuhani W. S. , Al Thagafi N. T. S.
Published: March 2024

Abstract The Loranthaceae Juss. family includes parasitic species that invade important trees such as fruit trees. In Saudi Arabia, Loranthaceae comprises four genera, which include six species that grow in the western, southwestern, and northern regions: Tapinanthus globifer (A.Rich.) Tiegh, Oncocalyx glabratus (Engl.) M. G. Gilbert, Loranthella deflersii (Tiegh.) S. Blanco & C. E. Wetze, Phragmanthera austroarabica A. G. Mill. & J. Nyberg, Plicosepalus curviflorus (Benth.ex Oliv.) Tiegh. and Plicosepalus acaciae (Zucc.). The species present in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have not been the subject of enough studies. This work aims to screen and evaluate the taxonomic importance of the micromorphological traits of leaves and fruits in Loranthaceae species native to Saudi Arabia (SA) using scanning electron microscope (SEM). In this study, cluster dendrogram (CD), principal component analysis (PCA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to evaluate the ability to discriminate Loranthaceae species using micromorphological characteristics. Most of the micromorphological characteristics of the leaf and fruit surfaces used reflected significant variation between the species of Loranthaceae. The type of stomata, trichome, lenticels, fine relief of the cell wall and wax form were the most taxonomically important characteristics. In addition, the cluster dendrogram of morphological characteristics showed species distribution within branches based on affiliation to subtribes Tapinanthinae and Emelianthinae. To the best of our knowledge, the fruit and leaves of the species under study have never been described using electron microscopy, and this study is considered the first of its kind. It also contributes to solving the classification problems of the family Loranthaceae in general and confirms the importance of the characteristics and methods used as tools for characterizing parasitic species that infect trees and helps to verify their identities. This will help to improve resistance efforts and put effective control plans in place.

ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively affects the growth and yield of economically valuable crops such as soybeans. New technologies are being developed to minimize the damage caused by saline stress and improve crop performance. Therefore, the use of biostimulants in agriculture may offer an alternative method to mitigate the deleterious effects of salinity. Extracts of the seaweed, Ascophyllum nodosum and humic substances (fulvic acids) are commonly used. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the action of a biostimulant composed of A. nodosum seaweed extract and fulvic acid applied at different phenological stages on the biometric, biochemical, and physiological parameters of soybeans (Glycine max) subjected to irrigation with saline water. The experimental design used was completely randomized in a 3 × 2 + 2 factorial scheme, referring to three applications of the biostimulant at different soybean phenological stages: V3, V3R1, and V3R1R4, two levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (ECw): 0.5 (S0) and 5.0 dS m-1 (S1), two additional controls, one with a positive control (PC) and the other with a negative control (NC). The experiment had five replicates with one plant per plot. The results of this study suggest that the application of the biostimulant can mitigate the harmful effects of salt stress in soybeans. The results obtained with V3R1 application in the parameters stem diameter, leaf area, shoot dry mass, electrolyte leakage, and chlorophyll b represent greater efficiency in mitigating the harmful effects of salinity in soybean cultivation.

ABSTRACT The common climatic characteristics in semi-arid regions can cause abiotic stress and be a limiting factor for crops. Under these conditions, the use of beneficial elements such as selenium (Se) is an alternative to mitigate the harmful effects of abiotic stresses and increase yield. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of onion grown in a semi-arid region under the application of Se. A field experiment was performed in a randomized block design, where five doses of Se (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 g ha-1), by foliar application, were tested on two onion hybrids (Andrômeda and Rio das Antas). Growth, nutritional and yield variables were analyzed. Se increased the height and accumulation of dry mass in onion plants, with a maximum at the 60 g ha-1 dose of Se, the same dose at which the highest commercial (78.15 t ha-1) and total (86.03 t ha-1) bulb yields were obtained in Rio das Antas; however, for Andrômeda, there was no effect of Se on yield. Applied Se doses also increased the content of this element in the bulbs. Despite increasing bulb yields only in the Rio das Antas hybrid, 60 g ha-1 of Se is recommended for onions due to its effects on plant growth and the biofortification of bulbs with Se.
Forças em forma: uma sociologia pragmática da “violentização” da força em diferentes modalidades
Authors: Werneck Alexandre , Teixeira Cesar Pinheiro , Caminhas Diogo , Talone Vittorio
Published: March 2024

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as diferentes formas como a força comparece nos momentos de “violentização” de situações sociais, isto é, de definição destas como “de violência”, quando o horizonte dessa delimitação estiver imerso na representação social chamada “violência urbana”. Para tanto, analisamos de forma simetrizada em quatro materiais empíricos atravessados por múltiplas metodologias as efetivações de situações relativas a quatro diferentes figuras relevantes desse cenário: 1) policiais militares (que se fazem força); 2) ladrões (que administram a força); 3) os chamados “bandidos” (que são representados como força); e 4) leitores de notícias sobre operações policiais em um jornal (que conclamam a força). A análise se dá na continuidade do desenvolvimento de uma sociologia pragmática da violência e busca compreender como tipos de força e formas de os mobilizar em situação definem diferentes actantes e consequentemente as situações por eles violentizadas.

Published: March 2024

Abstract Objective To comprehend the challenges and emotions within the caregiving process from the perspective of those who care for older adults in situations of frailty within their own homes. Method A qualitative research approach rooted in the theoretical and methodological framework of Interpretative and Medical Anthropology was employed. Nine female caregivers and one male caregiver were interviewed within the homes of the elderly individuals they were caring for. Emic analysis was guided by the model of Signs, Meanings, and Actions. Results Challenges manifest in the absence of caregiver training, constraints related to hygiene routines, the absence of compliance with labor rights, lack of accessibility and material resources, family relationships, and the interpretation of the actions of the care recipients as stubbornness. Emotions described by the interviewees include affection, satisfaction, fatigue, stress, burden, and fear of worsening and making mistakes. Conclusion Caregivers revealed a deep and complex moral, ethical, and emotional involvement in their caregiving roles. They highlight a scenario where it is essential to recognize and acknowledge the work involved in caring for older adults in situations of frailty and to implement caregiving policies with community and cross-sector support actions.

Published: March 2024

Resumo Objetivo Analisar a frequência de polifarmácia e prescrição de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados (MPI) segundo os Critérios de Beers e CBMPI em pessoas idosas com vulnerabilidade clínico-funcional. Método Trata-se de um estudo transversal onde analisou-se os prontuários de 496 participantes com 60 anos ou mais, atendidos em primeira consulta em uma Policlínica Gerontológica. Os dados sociodemográficos, medicamentos, e o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Clínico Funcional 20 (IVCF-20) e quedas foram extraídos dos prontuários. A polifarmácia foi definida como o uso simultâneo de cinco ou mais medicamentos. Os participantes foram classificados em três grupos: robusto, em risco e vulnerável. Resultados A análise demonstrou que 69 (13,91%) dos participantes faziam uso de polifarmácia. Entre os usuários de polifarmácia, 40 (57,97%) faziam uso de pelo menos um MPI. Os MPIs mais encontrados foram a glibenclamida e o omeprazol, respectivamente. Pessoas idosas com vulnerabilidade apresentaram um risco três vezes maior de apresentar polifarmácia (RP 3,59; IC95% 2,109-6,092). Conclusão O uso de polifarmácia e MPI neste estudo estavam associados à vulnerabilidade da pessoa idosa, reforçando a necessidade de avaliação criteriosa de prescrições medicamentosas para essa população.
VARIAÇÃO DIATÓPICA DOS FRASEOLOGISMOS DO FUTEBOL BRASILEIRO ABRIR O PLACAR E TIME DA CASA

Published: March 2024

RESUMO Este artigo tem por objetivo descrever e cartografar a variação diatópica apurada nos pares de fraseologismos do futebol brasileiro abrir o placar e time da casa. Para tanto, o aporte teórico adotado está circunscrito à escola francesa de estudos fraseológicos a partir de Mejri (1997, 2009, 2012), o qual aponta propriedades básicas de reconhecimento dessas estruturas: polilexicalidade, fixidez, congruência, frequência, previsibilidade e idiomaticidade. No que concerne ao fenômeno da variação diatópica, adota-se a concepção de Coseriu (1980), Chambers e Trudgill (1980), assim como Razky e Guedes (2015) no que diz respeito à questão de agrupamento linguístico, além de Corpas Pastor (1996) e Garcia-Page (2008) no tratamento da variação fraseológica. A amostra considerada inclui textos escritos publicados no período de 2008 a 2015, sobre futebol, extraídos da coluna Caderno de Esportes de cinco jornais eletrônicos brasileiros. Os resultados mostram duas variantes para time da casa e seis para abrir o placar. A análise aponta para uma configuração diatópica dos fraseologismos selecionados com uso característico de linguagem figurada.
O ‘NEC’ ESTRUTURADOR DISCURSIVO DO LATIM PERMANECEU COMO ‘NEM’ EM PORTUGUÊS CONTEMPORÂNEO
Authors: GOMES Ana Paula Quadros
Published: March 2024

RESUMO O português hodierno não apresenta partícula negadora especializada em quantificadores nominais (D-quantificadores) (*‘Não cada cachorro late’) (Souza, 2017). Entretanto, é frequente a combinação do universal ‘todo’ com a partícula ‘nem’, derivada do Latim ‘nec’ (‘Nem todo cachorro late’). Aparentemente, ‘nem todo’ gera a negação do quantificador (¬∀). Porém, ‘nem todo’ está restrito ao fronteamento da sentença (*‘Eu não vi nem todo cachorro correr’) ou após constituintes topicalizados (‘À minha aula, nem todo aluno veio’) (Peres, 2013). Neste trabalho, conforme Gianollo (2020), ‘nem’ seguido de ‘todo’ será analisado como uma partícula estruturante do discurso. ‘Nem’ contém uma camada aditiva, sobre outra negativa. A camada aditiva liga a informação nova trazida pela sentença iniciada por ‘nem todo’ a uma informação do contexto previamente estabelecido. A camada negativa rejeita a pressuposição de maximalidade disparada pelo universal, instruindo os falantes a corrigirem suas expectativas sobre a aplicação da predicação sentencial ao domínio nominal completo quantificado por ‘todo’. O exame da distribuição de ‘nem todo’ em português brasileiro contemporâneo e sua presença do século XV ao XXI indicam que a função de ‘nec’ como partícula discursiva estruturante não se extinguiu em seus sucessores nas românicas, contra Gianollo (2020).

Published: March 2024

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a hiperbilirrubinemia como indicador para a realização do protocolo de risco na triagem auditiva neonatal (TAN) e no monitoramento auditivo em neonatos a termo e prematuros. Método Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal e retrospectivo. Foram incluídas 554 crianças nascidas em uma maternidade pública, subdivididas em dois grupos: (G1) com 373 recém-nascidos a termo; (G2) com 181 neonatos prematuros. Os dados foram coletados nos prontuários dos participantes, a fim de se obter informações referentes ao resultado da TAN realizada por meio do registro do Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico, às condições de nascimento, características clínicas, intervenções realizadas, resultados do primeiro exame de bilirrubina total (BT) e bilirrubina indireta (BI) e do pico de BT e BI. Realizou-se análise estatística descritiva e inferencial dos dados, com adoção do nível de significância de 5%. Resultados No teste da TAN, foram observadas taxas de encaminhamento para reteste inferiores no G1 em relação ao G2. Não houve diferença entre os grupos quanto à ocorrência do tipo de parto, sexo, presença de incompatibilidade sanguínea Rh e ABO, deficiência de enzima G6PD e realização de fototerapia. Em relação aos níveis de BT e BI no primeiro exame e no momento do pico, não houve diferenças entre os neonatos com resultado “passa” e “falha” na TAN-teste nos dois grupos. Conclusão Os níveis de bilirrubina no período neonatal abaixo dos valores recomendados para indicação de exsanguineotransfusão não estão diretamente relacionados ao resultado “falha” na TAN em neonatos a termo e prematuros.
L’Aurora del sebastianismo: le fonti profetiche dell’encuberto
Authors: Potestà Gian Luca
Published: March 2024

Astratto La genesi dottrinale del sebastianismo è spesso riportata completamente all’interno della cultura popolare portoghese: si ritiene che D. João de Castro, inventore della leggenda del re redivivo, avrebbe rimodellato la figura dell’Encuberto assumendola dalle Trovas di Bandarra, calzolaio di Trancoso. In verità, la retorica dell’Encuberto risulta diffusa nella penisola iberica ben prima delle Trovas. D. João stesso ne segnala altri due “preannunci”, nel Vespertilio profetizzato da Arnaldo da Villanova e nel Sol obscuratus dell’Oracolo di Cirillo. Più in generale, l’articolo intende contribuire alla conoscenza della vasta biblioteca profetica e messianica di D. João, e mostrare così che la leggenda di D. Sebastião nasce e si sviluppa alla confluenza di molteplici tradizioni circolanti nell’Occidente europeo a partire dall’Alto Medioevo.
Avaliação do vergamento da madeira de Acrocarpus fraxinifolius pela técnica de vaporização
Authors: Oliveira Rodrigo Daniel da Silva , Jardim Pedro Ignácio Lima Gadêlha , Souza Alexandre Jorge Duarte de , Christoforo André Luis , Molina Júlio Cesar
Published: March 2024

Resumo Atécnica de vergamento da madeira por vaporização se apresenta como opção viável para projetos de estruturas curvilíneas, como as gridshells. Madeiras coníferas são comumente adotadas em estruturas de cobertura, pois além da desejada relação entre resistência mecânica e densidade, permitem o completo tratamento da seção transversal da peça. Entretanto, características como a predominância de alburno ou de cerne e a presença de defeitos são variáveis que afetam o desempenho estrutural. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o limite de vergamento de lamelas de Acrocarpus flaxinifloius (cedro indiano) com raio de curvatura de 21 cm em diferentes espessuras. Também se investigou o impacto da predominância de alburno ou cerne e da presença de defeitos na força de vergamento. A literatura indica que a flexibilização plástica por vapor ocorre a 100°C, com 2,4 minutos para cada milímetro de espessura da lamela, parâmetros estes considerados neste estudo. A análise estatística indicou o limite de 8 mm de espessura para o vergamento das lamelas e a maior presença de alburno ou de cerne, bem como os defeitos da madeira, não afetou significativamente a força de vergamento.

DOS ESTIGMAS HISTÓRICOS À AUTODECLARAÇÃO DA DEFICIÊNCIA: UM ESTUDO COM UNIVERSITÁRIOS
Authors: Leite Lúcia Pereira , Cabral Leonardo Santos Amâncio , Ciantelli Ana Paula Camilo
Published: March 2024

As múltiplas compreensões circulantes sobre a deficiência têm incitado, na perspectiva histórico-cultural, revisões críticas inclusive no âmbito da Educação Superior. Frente a esse desafio, a pesquisa em tela visou identificar e analisar, no contexto de duas instituições públicas brasileiras da Educação Superior, as concepções de deficiência especificamente de 81 universitários (graduação e pós-graduação) que se autodeclararam com essa condição. Por meio da aplicação de um questionário online de caracterização, somado à Escala Intercultural de Concepções de Deficiência (EICD), a análise estatística dos dados coletados revelou a tendente concordância dos participantes às concepções biológica e social da deficiência, ainda que a concepção metafísica tenha sido identificada. Portanto, o estudo desvela um complexo e necessário debate sobre o fenômeno socioantropológico da deficiência, com potencial interface de todas as áreas do conhecimento, com o escopo de fomentar o reconhecimento e a legitimação dos direitos cidadãos dos sujeitos com deficiências. Tensiona-se, ainda, sobre a autodeclaração para definição da condição de deficiência.

A Woman's Place: Home in Cinema
Authors: Radinger Louise
Published: March 2024

This video is an essayistic exploration of ten films which feature a woman in a house at their core. The pairing of women and domestic space has a long history. "The ways in which space has been historically conceived," suggests Elizabeth Grosz, "have always functioned either to contain women or to obliterate them" (1994: 26). And yet, home is a mutable place in cinema and home in these films provides a more richly layered space than Grosz’s summary might suggest. My videographic exploration works to unpack this.

Wetlands are the most productive, economically important and hydrologically variable ecosystems. In this study, the abundance of phytoplankton and its primary productivity were evaluated in Dingapota Haor of Bangladesh. A total of 41 phytoplankton genera belong to Chlorophyceae (15), Bacillariaophyceae (14), Cyanophyceae (8) and Euglenophyceae (4) were recorded whereas Bacillariaophyceae (37.02%) was the most dominant. The highest cell density (22.71×104 cell L–1) was recorded in pre-monsoon. Diversity indices were also significantly higher in pre-monsoon. The species diversity, evenness and richness varied from 2.51–3.79, 0.57–0.90 and 4.65–7.50 respectively. Difference in phytoplankton assemblage with an overall average dissimilarity value of 52.56 % was recorded. Cyclotella (3.60%), Bacillaria (3.13%), Volvox (2.95%), Spirulina (2.92%) and Euglena (2.88%) were the five most contributory species to the seasonal variation. Gross Primary Production, Net Primary Production and Community Respiration values ranged from 0.90–2.49, 0.68–1.60 and 0.35–0.89 mgCm–3day–1 respectively. Alkalinity and Chl-a showed significant positive correlation with GPP, NPP and CR. Pre-monsoon was the most productive phase whereas the monsoon season was the least productive. The current study produced valuable baseline data that will aid in the formulation of wetland conservation and management strategies.

Published: March 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, beş faktör kişilik özelliklerinin işte mutluluk üzerindeki etkisini tespit etmek ve bu etkileşimde iş yaşam dengesinin aracılık rolü olup olmadığını belirmektedir. Araştırmada veriler, Türkiye'de kamu veya özel sektörde çalışan toplam 400 katılımcıdan kota örnekleme yöntemiyle toplanılmıştır. Katılımcılardan veriler anket tekniğiyle toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bu veriler araştırmanın amacı kapsamında oluşturulan modeli test etmek için aracılık analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin analiz edilmesiyle elde edilen sonuçlara bakıldığında araştırma değişkenleri arasında bir aracılık rolünün bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte değişkenlerin alt boyutlarına bakıldığında ise, iş-özel hayat gelişimi ve işin özel hayata müdahalesi boyutlarının duygusal denge ile yönetici ve iş yeri kaynaklı mutluluk arasındaki etkileşiminde kısmi aracılık rolünün olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Alan yazın incelendiğinde tüm bu değişkenlerin bir arada ele alındığı bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada değişkenlerin tüm alt boyutları ayrıntılı bir şekilde analize dahil edildiğinden, bu durum araştırmayı hem özgün hale getirdiği hem de yazındaki bir boşluğu kapatmaya katkıda bulunabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Authors: USLU Gülsüm , TATLI Halim
Published: March 2024

This study aims to investigate the individual factors affecting regional youth unemployment in the TRB1 Region of Turkey, at a micro level. The questionnaire technique was used as a data collection method. Questionnaires designed for youth unemployment were randomly applied to 400 young people in the 15–24 age groups in the TRB1 Region. The data obtained from the surveys were analyzed by logistic regression. As a result of the analysis, it was found that youth with high school, university, and graduate degrees were less likely to be unemployed than those who graduated from secondary school. The probability of being unemployed is lower among young people whose fathers are primary school graduates, whose fathers are secondary school graduates, whose fathers are high school graduates, and whose fathers are university graduates than among those whose fathers are illiterate. In general, young people who trust people are less likely to be unemployed than young people who do not trust people. It was also found that the per capita income of the youth's family had a positive effect on reducing the probability of the youth being unemployed.
G7 ÜLKELERİNDE İŞSİZLİGİN SAĞLIK ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: PANEL EŞBÜTÜNLEŞME YAKLAŞIMINDAN KANITLAR
Authors: ATILGAN Dilek
Published: March 2024

İşsizlik sosyo-ekonomik sonuçlar itibariyle bütün toplumların en önemli sorunlarından biridir. Özellikle işsizliğin neden olduğu gelir kaybı bireylerin ciddi sağlık problemleri yaşamalarına yol açmaktadır. Bu kapsamda

işsizliğin mi sağlığı yoksa sağlığın mı işsizliği olumsuz yönde etkilediğine dair son yıllarda çalışmalar artış göstermektedir. Çünkü sağlık hem nitelikli insan kaynağını hem de ülkelerin kalkınmasını etkileyen önemli bir faktördür. Çalışma, 2000-2021 dönemi için veri varlığı durumuna göre G7 (Almanya, ABD, İngiltere, İtalya, Fransa, Japonya ve Kanada) ülkelerinde işsizliğin sağlık harcamalarını hangi yönde etkilediğini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç ile işsizlik değişkenine GSYİH oranı ek değişken olarak dâhil edilmiştir. Analiz yöntemi olarak ECM eşbütünleşme ve AMG eşbütünleşme tahminci testleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen panel geneli bulgular, işsizlikteki %1’lik bir artışın sağlık harcamalarını %0,119 oranında azalttığı, GSYİH’deki %1’lik bir artışın ise sağlık harcamalarını %0,015 oranında arttırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca ülke bazlı bulgularda işsizliğin sağlık harcamalarını etkileme durumunun ülkeden ülkeye farklılık gösterdiği belirlenirken, değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli eşbütünleşme ilişkinin olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.

The article examines the reforms of the court in the Muslim part of Transcaucasia at the beginning of the 19th century. A historical and legal excursion is conducted, the judicial system of the khanates of northern Azerbaijan that had developed by that time, its legal foundations, as well as the legal essence of the «Resolution on the City Court for the Baku region with the district» as a normative legal act that laid the legal foundations for judicial reforms and the judicial system are explicated and analyzed. The results of the study allowed us to substantiate the conclusion that before joining Russia, the judicial system and judicial proceedings in the khanates of northern Azerbaijan had been regulated by the norms of customary law and Sharia. After joining the Russian Empire, for the first time at the regulatory level, this sphere received legal embodiment. Based on the legal acts and narrative materials, the author›s position is proposed and substantiated that the integration of the outskirts into a single state-legal organism of the empire and other political factors that developed at the beginning of the 19th century required the reorganization of the judicial system and judicial proceedings in the Muslim part of Transcaucasia. It is proved that the reforms carried out at the beginning of the century laid the backbone foundations of the judicial system and judicial proceedings of the region, laid the foundation for the formation of secular courts, provided subjects with free access to justice, introduced new legal rules and procedures into the judicial activity of the region.
Charter of the International Military Tribunal of 1945 and the Formation of International Law
Authors: Rudman Mark
Published: March 2024

The article discusses the historical, legal and political significance of the organization and holding of the Nuremberg Tribunal as an international court, which for the first time demonstrated the possibility of implementing the norms of international law in relation to states that commit crimes against humanity. The theoretical and legal prerequisites and problems of holding the first in the history of an international court over a sovereign state, as well as certain aspects of the activities of the governments of the countries – leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition to overcome them, are considered in detail. The fundamental ideas of Western law of the Enlightenment are revealed, the development of which during the period of prosperity and crisis of industrial society determined the very possibility of the emergence of international law, fixing the universal values of the world community through the institution of human rights. The importance of the first international conventions that establish restrictions on states in the choice of means of warfare in the formation of the legal basis for the conviction at the international military tribunal of war criminals acting on behalf of their state during the Second World War is emphasized. The development of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal, as the first international treaty concluded to bring to justice for crimes against peace, the rules of war and humanity, is characterized as a turning point in the development of international law, proving its effectiveness in the form of guaranteed punishment, regardless of the public status of the accused who were top officials of the Nazi state. The author comes to the firm conclusion that the development of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal of 1945 and the holding of the Nuremberg Tribunal on its basis were the results of political and legal compromises between the allies. The very fact of such compromises became a condition for the subsequent formation of international law as a contractual basis for the creation of a world community of nations, united by the value of the doctrine of human rights.

Solar and Dynamo Powered Ev Using Fingerprint Authentication
Authors: K. Devi Priya, D.Srinivas Varma T. Sirisha, V. Harsha Vardhan Reddy, V. Vasavi Priya,
Published: March 2024

Nonrenewable energy sources are already interfering with the availability of electricity. Today, the primary emphasis is on the generation of electricity from renewable sources. This proposal proposes a feasible design solution in the shape of a user-friendly three-wheeler. A fingerprint-accessible electric vehicle. This electric vehicle uses solar power and a self-changing dynamo to charge its battery. The battery serves as the vehicle's power source.
A microcontroller serves as the system's primary controller. It is connected to a fingerprint module, a relay, the car ignition, and an LCD. The Microcontroller reads the input from the fingerprint module and, if it is legitimate, grants access to the ignition system. The status will be displayed on the LCD.
In addition, we're adding three more sensors: speed, temperature, and voltage. Lithium-ion batteries can be harmful if not used within the safety-operated area (SOA). To avoid this, we calculate the temperature of the lithium-ion battery when it exceeds 49.9?. It will make a sound through the buzzer. This can prevent damage to the battery and the person driving the vehicle. Voltage Sensor is designed to monitor battery charging and discharging time, which is displayed on the LCD. A speed sensor is used to determine the speed of the vehicle.
