Authors:   Dept. of IS&E, JNNCE, Shimoga, India, A Nikhitha
Published: May 2024

The problem of driver distraction has become serious, and this is due to physical distractions that can be dangerous on the roads. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used in this research to introduce a new approach to identifying physical distractions. To train the designed CNN model, a large dataset of labeled images that depict different physical distractions such as eating, texting, and manipulating controls is utilized. We make use of the spatial hierarchies learned by CNNs that enable us to extract important information for distraction identification with high efficiency. The experimental results validate the proposed method’s ability to recognize physical distractions in real driving scenarios effectively. Incorporating such models into in-car systems could therefore result in reduced distractions and consequently fewer accidents and additionally offer immediate warnings or interventions thus improving driver safety considerably. Key Words: Distraction, Machine Learning, Convolution Neural Network, Road accidents.

Published: May 2024

Meeting the escalating electricity demands posed by population growth and industrial expansion presents a significant challenge. Utilizing renewable energy sources like wind, biomass, and hydro co-generation has become imperative to satisfy energy requirements. In this proposed framework, a model featuring a grid-integrated wind energy generation system and nonlinear load is developed using MATLAB/Simulink. Integrating wind energy into the power grid impacts electricity quality, notably manifesting in voltage fluctuations, harmonics, flicker, and poor power factor at the source. The efficacy of a wind turbine and, consequently, electricity quality are assessed. To enhance power quality, the project advocates for the implementation of a STATCOM control strategy in grid-connected wind power systems. A bang-bang controller, based on hysteresis current control, is devised for STATCOM. Integrating STATCOM with the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) mitigates power quality issues. In this envisioned scheme, the FACTS device STATCOM is linked with battery power storage (BESS) at the PCC to alleviate power quality concerns. Incorporating Battery Energy Storage Systems aids in stabilizing the real power source during wind power fluctuations and facilitates the rapid injection of reactive power at the PCC.

Published: May 2024

The study focuses on the dynamic modeling of a fixed-bed adsorber for the adsorption of sulfur compounds in diesel fuel. The model considers non-ideal plug flow behavior and velocity variation along the column, providing a more realistic representation of the adsorption process. Additionally, internal mass-transfer resistances due to pore diffusion mechanisms are incorporated into the model. The study investigates adsorption performance by examining different flow rates (5 cc/min, 10 cc/min, 15 cc/min, and 20 cc/min) and inlet concentrations ranging from 586 to 100 ppm. The bed height is constant at 30 cm. The behavior of various parameters, such as bed utilization, breakpoint time, film mass transfer coefficient, and height of the adsorption zone, is analyzed. The results indicate that a sharp front of the breakthrough curve is observed, followed by the broadening of the tail of the breakthrough curve. The breakthrough curve represents the adsorbate concentration in the effluent stream over time. The investigation reveals that a high flow rate of 20 cc/min and a high inlet concentration yield better overall bed capacity utilization for the adsorption system. This means that the bed is more effectively utilized at higher flow rates and higher inlet concentrations, leading to improved adsorption performance. In conclusion, high flow rates and high inlet concentrations are favorable for enhancing the adsorption system's performance in terms of bed utilization. These results provide valuable insights for optimizing the design and operation of fixed-bed adsorbers that remove sulfur compounds from diesel fuel.

O presente estudo visa analisar as representações das charges sobre vacinação contra COVID-19 como elementos simbólicos na construção da imagem de uma estratégia de controle de uma doença transmissível numa emergência de saúde pública. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório na perspectiva da história, no domínio da cultura visual, que tem por definição duas vertentes fundamentais: uma mais "restritiva", que enfatiza o visual, e a outra vertente toma a cultura como traço que define o estudo. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de agosto de 2020 à agosto de 2021, com imagens oriundas do jornal “Folha de São Paulo”. A análise foi feita por meio da semiótica, que tem como uma das atribuições, o sinonismo com a lógica. A busca resultou em 13 imagens, identificadas pela expressão fac-símiles, que se trata de uma reprodução de imagem. Através destes achados pôde-se observar três charges classificadas como o exagero, quatro como o ridículo, três como ruptura discursiva, uma como polifonia e duas como intertemporalidade. Refletir sobre a construção da imagem mediante ao contexto como registros históricos, instiga a desenvolver novos estudos com possibilidades da construção de novas versões, interpretações e releituras, a fim de compreender determinado período vivido pela sociedade e redirecionar novas estratégias frente a outros desafios futuros.

Este processo é influenciado pelo envelhecimento do sistema imunológico, afetando linfócitos e células apresentadoras de antígenos. O diagnóstico de herpes zoster é principalmente clínico, embora testes virológicos sejam necessários em casos atípicos ou com complicações. As manifestações clínicas podem variar, incluindo o herpes zoster oftálmico e a síndrome de Ramsay Hunt, ambas com potenciais complicações graves. O tratamento visa aliviar sintomas, proteger a pele, e antivirais como o Aciclovir são amplamente utilizados, especialmente em casos graves e em crianças, com administração intravenosa recomendada em situações específicas. A vacinação é uma medida preventiva fundamental, especialmente em idosos e indivíduos imunocomprometidos.

Os diferentes manejos de solos existentes podem vir a contribuir para a degradação das propriedades físicas, químicas e biológicas dos mesmos, se não forem conduzidos de maneira apropriada e responsável. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar em um Latossolo Vermelho [Oxisol] o conteúdo de matéria orgânica (MO) em diferentes tipos de manejo físico e ausências do mesmo assim como a resistência à penetração (RP) tendo como parâmetro um solo de fragmento de mata nativa. Foram selecionadas 5 áreas de 20 x 50 m na fazenda escola e em uma área em fazenda próxima a esta a de fragmento de mata nativa (Fazenda Vera Cruz). As áreas pesquisadas foram: duas áreas de plantio direto com rolo-faca (CRF) e sem uso do rolo-faca (SRF), uma área de manejo convencional (MC) uma de pastagem (Pasto) e uma área do fragmento de Mata Nativa (MVC). As amostras de solo foram obtidas com auxílio de um trado. Para avaliação da resistência à penetração, foi utilizado um penetrômetro de impacto. A área de Pasto foi a que ofereceu maior resistência à penetração seguida da MC. As áreas da MVC e plantio direto com CRF e SRF não diferiram entre si porém apresentaram menor resistência à penetração que as outras áreas. Com relação à matéria orgânica, o solo da MVC apresentou maior teor seguido da área de Pasto. O solo de plantio direto CRF e MC não diferiram entre si porém foram significativamente menores do que as áreas de MVC e de Pasto e superiores à de plantio direto SRF, que foi a que apresentou o menor teor de MO.
The burnt gas flow stability of limit flames in vertical tubes
Authors: Gulyaev I. A. , Kazakov K. A.
Published: May 2024

Stability of the gas flows generated by steady near-limit flames propagating in vertical tubes is studied
numerically. Basic scenarios of the burnt gas flow evolution are identified in relation to the thermal gas
expansion parameter and the normal flame speed. It is shown that the realization of specific scenario essentially
depends on the stagnation zone width as well as on the distance travelled by the gas from the flame front
to the tube end. In particular, it is found that for sufficiently short distances, the burnt gas flows are stable
provided that the stagnation zone width is less than half the tube diameter. Otherwise, an unstable flow
evolution can lead to the appearance of recirculation domains and acoustic perturbations.

The fine structure of pygmy and giant multipole resonances in nuclei
Authors: Kamerdzhieva S. P. , Shitov M. I.
Published: May 2024

In connection with the program of planned work on the megascience installation "Intensive Reverse
Compton"(INOC) at the Scientific Center of Physics and Mathematics in Sarov, a brief overview of
experimental and theoretical results in the field of pygmy- and giant resonance energies is presented.
Considered: 1) pygmy-dipole resonance in 208Pb, for which the limit of experimental resolution has already
been reached and separate 1
− levels have been identified, 2) the most important physical results of experiments
with a resolution of (50–200) keV both for gamma strenght functions, that determine the characteristics of
nuclear reactions, and for analysis of non–statistical mechanisms of formation of widths of giant resonances
(«doorway» states) in the framework of wavelet analysis. Some results in the field of excitation energies
(1–5) MeV are also discussed.

The objective of this research was to analyze the role of gamification as an educational mechanism for students with disabilities. The research was characterized as an integrative literature review. Data were collected through searches in the Google Scholar and Scielo databases, using inclusion criteria, specific keywords, and search descriptors AND and OR. As a result, it was possible to verify that gamification emerges as a promising tool in the promotion of inclusive education, especially for students with disabilities, by offering an accessible and engaging educational approach. Implementing targeted games has been shown to increase student motivation and engagement, contributing to a personalized and inclusive education. However, its effectiveness is intrinsically linked to the quality of inclusive education provided by educational institutions, emphasizing the need for proper teacher training and a welcoming school environment. Despite the recognition of its potential, the paucity of studies on its application in inclusive special education highlights the need for further research and academic publications, underscoring the continued importance of developing inclusive and effective educational practices, especially in the use of gamification, to promote truly inclusive and transformative education.

The objective of this research was to analyze the contributions of physical activities to the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases. The study adopted an integrative review approach, using Google Scholar and Scielo databases with specific search criteria. Brazilian scientific articles published between 2022 and 2023 were selected and submitted to an analysis of titles and abstracts followed by a thorough reading to identify and synthesize the relevant results. As a result, the relevance of regular physical activity in the prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) was verified. Both aerobic and anaerobic activities are highlighted as key in reducing the risk factors associated with these conditions. The benefits of physical activity include improvements in cardiovascular and respiratory capacity, as well as reduced risk of various chronic conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, contributing to improved quality of life and mental well-being. A significant finding is the observation that risk factors tend to increase when physical activity is stopped, emphasizing the need for consistency in these healthy habits. The importance of health awareness and education is also highlighted, especially among men, to overcome barriers to the adoption of healthy habits. Ultimately, the studies reinforce the importance of physical activity as a crucial tool in health promotion and prevention of NCDs, underlining the need for health policies and programs that encourage and facilitate its practice for a healthier and more resilient population in the long term.
Corporality in transformative education: A rescue for higher education
Authors: Barboza Ricardo Barretto
Published: May 2024

Reflections on transformative education often encompass issues such as paradigm shifts, valuing the subject, affectivity in relationships, and more thought-provoking and effective ways of learning and teaching. Several authors and theories point to the body as an element to be recognized in these dynamics. However, the arguments about corporality, which designates the living and experiential character of the body, appear in general in a diffuse way throughout different works and discussions, and often quite focused on the education of children and adolescents. This article proposes to compile relevant arguments about the power of corporality in transformative education from the perspective of higher education, in order to contribute to the broadening and deepening of this path of research and reflection. To this end, it conducts a literature review that identifies the issue of corporality in transformative education in terms of paradigms, subjectivity, organicity and pedagogy.
