Smart Solar-Powered Street Lighting with Automated Tracking System Using Arduino
Authors:   Department of ECE Hirasugar institue of Technology Nidasoshi, India, Nerli Kiran M.
Published: February 2025

The need for more energy-efficient and sustainable urban lighting solutions calls for the development of smart solar-powered street lighting systems. Generally, conventional solar streetlights suffer from low efficiency in energy utilization because the lighting source is of fixed orientation, leading to decreased power generation. The proposed system is a Smart Solar-Powered Street Lighting System with Automated Tracking Mechanism for Arduino, aiming at maximizing solar energy absorption and thus improving energy efficiency.The system uses Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) for detecting sunlight intensity, and solar panel angle adjustment is done using servo motors. A dual-axis tracking system keeps the panel perpendicular to the sun's rays throughout the day, thus maximizing power generation compared to fixed panels. The Arduino microcontroller processes real-time data from sensors for precise control of panel movement and also adjusts the functioning of LED street lights according to the intensity of ambient light.Experimental results show a 25-40% increase in energy absorption of the tracking system compared to stationary panels, which can now achieve prolonged lighting hours and less battery dependence. It runs automatically, therefore lowering associated maintenance costs, as it offers a cost-effective and scalable system for urban and rural street lighting.This research contributes to sustainable urban infrastructure by integrating automated solar tracking with smart lighting control. Future developments could explore AI-based optimization algorithms for enhanced tracking precision and wireless monitoring systems for real-time performance analysis. The proposed system serves as a viable alternative to conventional street lighting, promoting renewable energy adoption and reducing carbon footprints.

Leadership, Aspirations and Coping Mechanisms of Female Leaders
Authors: Furtado Marina , Henriques Paulo L.
Published: February 2025

Female leadership is crucial for diverse and balanced economic sectors, and understanding the factors that influence women's leadership aspirations is essential for fostering their development. But despite increasing awareness, there remains a significant gender disparity in leadership roles across public, private, and regulatory sectors. Therefore, this study explored the aspirations of female leaders and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting these aspirations. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire for data triangulation, alongside the grounded theory method to enhance both internal and external validity, we found that early leadership behaviors and recognition by supervisors are key indicators of leadership aspiration development. Intrinsic motivations, such as decision-making and autonomy, are more valued than extrinsic factors like power or status. Notably, the aspiration to “engage in work that positively influences people and the community” emerged as particularly significant. Numerous coping mechanisms were identified, with a strong emphasis on those of an intrinsic nature, categorized into 33 distinct groups. However, the only category exceeding 50% representation was extrinsic, specifically “support from family members”. The study offers practical implications for education and human resources management in supporting female leadership development. Proposed initiatives include programs to cultivate leadership identities in girls and young women, as well as efforts targeted at parents to dispel misconceptions about leadership and raise awareness of the importance of support and encouragement. This research is pioneering in its exploration of women’s aspirations and coping mechanisms in leadership across public, private, and regulatory sectors.

Published: February 2025

Soil fertility decline in Rwanda is way beyond the continental average. This becomes an economic threat to the country considering that over 80% of the population derive their livelihood from agriculture. A survey was conducted to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of smallholder farmers on conservation agriculture in Bugesera and Musanze districts of Rwanda. A total of 300 farmers were randomly selected from eight villages in Musanze and Bugesera districts. An open-ended structured questionnaire was used to collect data through household interviews from participants. Results of this study showed poor access to information on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and Conservation Agriculture (CA) among smallholder farmers in the study area resulting into poor adoption of these practices. The use of organic and mineral fertilizers stands at 80% and roughly 60% respectively. However, farmers do not follow guidelines for the use of fertilizers but rather determine application rates by estimation or by random. Such inappropriate use of fertilizers is linked to increasing soil degradation countrywide which also contribute to the declining crop yield. There is a need to mobilize resources required to train farmers on practices that are conservational of soil nutrients and water such as GAPs and the CA practices.
The Role of the Product-Process Matrix in the Consumption of Agricultural Finance by Smallholder Farmers: The Case of Centenary Bank in Uganda
Authors: Nakhokho Evans Martin , Birungi Florence Kyazze , Mulugo Lucy Ann
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the contribution of the supply-based product and process matrix to smallholder farmers’ consumption of agricultural finance. The authors adopted a qualitative research design applying a semi structured interview guide to provide in-depth content about the products and processes of agricultural finance delivery. Data were collected from various bank staff, smallholder farmers, and documentary reviews. The results revealed that value chain financing is not a panacea for smallholder farmers to borrow and use funds to engage into higher agricultural value chain activities. In addition, product pricing and duration alongside inefficient and linear product delivery processes hinder smallholder farmers’ adoption of agricultural finance. Thus, inappropriate products and inefficient processes discourage smallholder farmers from exploiting agricultural finance. The methods of engagement are premised on respondents’ narratives implying that one person’s experience may limit the representation of multiple viewpoints. Central banks and financial institutions seeking to increase smallholder farmers’ use of agricultural finance must develop policies to understand end-user needs and create seamless delivery processes to deliver agricultural financing. This is one of the few studies that comprehensively and qualitatively assesses how the combination of pricing and products addresses smallholder farmers’ financing needs in the commercial banking context. Thus, this study contributes new ideas for increasing the consumption of agricultural finance.

Dutch influence on the reform of the Macedonian system of civil enforcement
Authors: Zoroska-Kamilovska T.
Published: February 2025

The Macedonian system of civil enforcement has long been construed as a reflection of the principle of “re-adjudication upon the original request for legal protection”. The worryingly low execution rate and the excessive length of the enforcement procedure have imposed the necessity of urgent “restructuring” of the entirety of the enforcement system, and the Dutch model has served as an excellent role-model. This article provides a short overview of the characteristic features of the Macedonian enforcement system, and the degree to which they correspond to the Dutch model of civil enforcement.

Impacto da Ressecção Pulmonar na Função Respiratória em Pacientes com Câncer de Pulmão: Uma Revisão Integrativa de Literatura
Authors: Madureira Lauanne Costa , Vale André Luiz Maia do
Published: February 2025

Introdução: O câncer de pulmão é uma das principais causas de morte no Brasil e no mundo, com altas taxas de incidência, especialmente em fumantes. A ressecção pulmonar, embora eficaz, pode afetar a função respiratória, sendo essencial a avaliação da função pulmonar e a reabilitação para prevenir complicações e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma busca na PubMed com os termos "pulmonary function test", "lung cancer", "surgical" e "rehabilitation" para identificar estudos sobre a função pulmonar em pacientes com câncer de pulmão submetidos à ressecção pulmonar, sem restrições de período ou idioma. Discussão: A ressecção pulmonar em pacientes com câncer de pulmão pode reduzir a função respiratória, especialmente após lobectomias, com queda nos parâmetros como VEF1 e CVF, afetando a qualidade de vida e aumentando a fadiga. A recuperação pulmonar ocorre de forma gradual e raramente retorna aos níveis basais. A avaliação pré-operatória da função pulmonar é essencial para selecionar pacientes de risco, com testes como espirometria e DLCO ajudando a planejar a cirurgia. Alternativas como segmentectomia e técnicas minimamente invasivas têm mostrado melhores resultados na preservação da função pulmonar. A reabilitação pulmonar, tanto pré quanto pós-operatória, melhora a recuperação, reduz complicações e promove benefícios físicos e emocionais significativos. Conclusão: O câncer de pulmão é uma das principais causas de morte globalmente, e a ressecção pulmonar, embora comum, impacta a função respiratória dos pacientes. A avaliação da função pulmonar, como espirometria e DLCO, é essencial para identificar riscos e orientar o tratamento. A reabilitação pulmonar tem mostrado benefícios na redução de complicações e melhora da capacidade funcional. No entanto, mais estudos são necessários para aprimorar as estratégias de avaliação e reabilitação, além de avaliar os efeitos a longo prazo e melhorar os prognósticos dos pacientes com câncer de pulmão.

Este estudo investiga a inclusão e participação dos Povos e Comunidades Tradicionais (PCTs) nos Comitês de Gerenciamento de Bacias Hidrográficas do agrupamento Sul de Santa Catarina, destacando a urgência de seu envolvimento nas discussões e decisões que afetam seus territórios e modos de vida. O objetivo central foi o de identificar, se, e como esses espaços democráticos de gestão da água são ocupados por PCTs. Foram empregados métodos de pesquisa documental, bibliográfica, observação participante e análise de conteúdo. Os levantamentos documentais e bibliográficos revelaram que não existem vagas reservadas para representantes de PCTs não indígenas nos Comitês. Nas quatro bacias hidrográficas analisadas, se tem conhecimento das seguintes populações: indígenas, comunidades quilombolas, além de pescadores(as) artesanais e agricultores familiares. Contudo, a participação efetiva é restrita, ocorrendo principalmente por meio da participação de representantes de colônias de pescadores artesanais. Esses aspectos foram confirmados pelos pesquisadores durante a observação participante nas atividades dos Comitês.Constatou-se também que as vagas para representantes dos povos indígenas nos Comitês não garantem uma participação efetiva de todos os PCTs. Portanto, o estudo enfatiza a necessidade da adoção de processos que ampliem a inclusão e a participação plena dos PCTs nos Comitês da região como estratégia de adaptação e enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas.

A síndrome de burnout tem sido amplamente reconhecida como um problema de saúde ocupacional que apresenta características do bem-estar dos profissionais de saúde, a qualidade da assistência prestada e o funcionamento das instituições de saúde. Diante da alta prevalência dessa condição e das consequências para os trabalhadores e o sistema de saúde como um todo, torna-se essencial analisar criticamente as estratégias de prevenção e o suporte descrito na literatura científica. Trata-se de estudo desenvolvido a partir da revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa com abordagem qualitativa de caráter exploratório e explicativo. Das bases de dados selecionadas para a investigação foram encontradas aproximadamente 600 publicações no período definido para a análise, destes 10 foram selecionados para compor o estudo. A síndrome de burnout pode se apresentar em 3 dimensões: sensação de esgotamento ou exaustão de energia; aumento da distância mental do trabalho ou sentimentos de negativismo ou cinismo relacionados ao trabalho; sensação de ineficácia e falta de realização. O presente estudo evidenciou que as estratégias de prevenção, tratamento e suporte ao burnout podem se apresentar em níveis diferentes – individual, organizacional e institucional – e ficou comprovado que a efetividade dessas abordagens depende diretamente da integração entre esses fatores. Quando as medidas de suporte se notam que se faz de grande importância a inclusão da instituição empregadora na elaboração de estratégias para criar um ambiente propício para abordar e gerenciar o estresse no local de trabalho.

Independente do campo de conhecimento, sendo das Ciências Sociais ou Ciências da Saúde, ao desenvolvermos uma pesquisa qualitativa ou quantitativa, surgem dúvidas e hipóteses. Especificamente a respeito da pesquisa qualitativa, tema do presente artigo, é comum que os(as) pesquisadores(as) recorram tanto a feitura ou leitura de revisões sistemáticas, integrativas e pesquisas documentais com o escopo de sanar dúvidas ou até mesmo levantar mais perguntas. Desse modo, com o objetivo de facilitar os estudantes a iniciarem na pesquisa científica e, considerando a importância da ciência constantemente tentar aproximar da realidade, o escopo desse artigo foi conceituar, bem como realizar aproximações e distanciamentos entre três métodos, quais sejam, revisão sistemática, revisão integrativa e pesquisa documental através de uma revisão narrativa de literatura, uma vez que tal revisão possui capacidade de organização e síntese de conteúdos de modo pedagógico. Como resultados, de modo sucinto, temos que a revisão sistemática é caracterizada pela busca de trabalhos em bancos de dados científicos, rigor e transparência no passo a passo. Já a revisão integrativa, esta se diferencia pela abrangência, flexibilidade, busca por dados teóricos e empíricos, além da integração de estudos com diversos delineamentos metodológicos. E, por fim, a análise documental é realizada obrigatoriamente a partir de documentos sem tratamento científico ou analítico.

Objetivo: Avaliar as ações de puericultura na atenção primária a saúde. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e avaliativo de abordagem quantitativa, realizado no município de Caxias, localizado no nordeste brasileiro. Para tanto utilizou-se do instrumento elaborado por Starfield e validado pelo Ministério da Saúde intitulado Primary Care Assessment Tools (PCA Tools), versão para crianças, conforme os pilares da atenção primária à saúde, entendida em elementos estruturantes, ou seja, atributos do sistema de serviços de saúde, que são: acesso de primeiro contato, integralidade, longitudinalidade, coordenação, orientação familiar e comunitária e competência cultural. Resultados: Evidenciou-se uma avaliação positiva dos pais e cuidadores sobre os serviços de saúde ofertados pela atenção primária à saúde no nordeste brasileiro, com escores médios elevados para a maioria dos atributos avaliados. O "grau de afiliação" destacou-se com uma média próxima de 10,0, enquanto atributos como "coordenação - integração de cuidados" e "integralidade - serviços prestados" apresentaram escores relativamente menores, sugerindo áreas de melhoria. Considerações finais: Embora os serviços possuam uma avaliação positiva, pela maioria de pais e cuidadores, apontando escores elevados de satisfação, é importante compreender que ainda existe áreas que precisam de aprimoramento, principalmente nas áreas relacionadas aos atributos de coordenação e integralidade dos cuidados ofertados nas ações de puericultura.

O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender as percepções de alunos e professores em relação às avaliações enquanto parte do processo ensino-aprendizagem. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo baseado em entrevistas semiestruturadas de sete alunos e seis professores. Utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo na classificação dos dados e o referencial teórico-metodológico da antropologia hermenêutica na interpretação. Observou-se desvalorização das provas teóricas e a preferência por instrumentos de domínio psicomotor e afetivo. Um achado inesperado foi a ansiedade relacionada às avaliações, com percepção negativa pelos alunos e positiva pelos professores. A avaliação é parte fundamental do processo ensino-aprendizagem e deve incluir os diferentes domínios, incluindo o cognitivo, para ser fidedigna. Apesar da percepção positiva do processo de avaliação, a desvalorização das avaliações cognitivas e a ansiedade associadas ao processo avaliativo são pontos de alerta que precisam ser analisados de forma mais aprofundada.

This article examines in-service training (INSET) and teachers’ professional development (TPD) as critical tools for improving educational quality in Tanzania through a holistic approach. Unlike stand-alone or singular approaches, a holistic perspective recognises the interconnected elements necessary to enhance teaching practices and achieve high-quality education. While primarily focusing on teachers, the study also highlights the importance of addressing the needs of strategic educators who contribute significantly to improved learning outcomes. These programmes aim to address training gaps, respond to evolving educational demands, and adapt to societal complexities. The methodology involved document analysis, key research findings, consultancy experiences, and professional expertise. The study underscores the importance of balanced PD programmes that enhance subject knowledge, integrate modern pedagogical skills, leverage technology, promote inclusive education, foster collaboration and professional learning communities, and adhere to ethical and professional standards. To be effective, PD programmes must be client-driven, well-planned, adequately financed, and effectively implemented. The study emphasises the need for a holistic model that addresses all critical aspects of professional development. Adopting such a model is recommended to support the country’s vision of achieving excellence, relevance, and quality in education across all levels.

Sektor industri menjadi komponen produktif bagi pembangunan ekonomi di Indonesia karena memiliki kemampuan untuk mendorong pertumbuuhan ekonomi. PT X merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang menggunakan sistem make to order. Namun, dalam pengadaan bahan baku, PT X tidak menggunakan forecasting sebagai dasar penyediaan bahan baku. Bahan baku akan dipesan ketika stok dalam gudang mencapai batas minimal yang telah ditetapkan sehingga sering terjadi kekurangan bahan baku pada saat adanya fluktuasi produk. Permasalahan ini menyebabkan penundaan produksi dan akan berpengaruh terhadap efisiensi operasional. Untuk menindaklanjuti permasalahan yang terjadi, perlu dilakukan teknik forecasting sebagai dasar pengadaan bahan baku. Tujuan dilakukannya forecasting perusahaan dapat meningkatkan profitabilitas karena pembelian bahan baku dilakukan secara terencana yang akan membuka peluang untuk mendapat harga bahan baku yang lebih rendah melalui pembelian bulk. Metode forecasting yang akan digunakan adalah metode single exponential smoothing, double exponential smoothing, dan triple exponential smoothing. Ketiga metode tetersebut akan dibandingkan agar mendapat hasil peramalan terbaik untuk masing-masing bahan baku. Berdasarkan perhitungan dan analisis yang dilakukan, metode Triple Exponential Smoothing menunjukkan tingkat kesalahan terkecil untuk bahan baku MDF, kayu keras, dan kayu lunak dengan nilai MAPE berturut-turut sebesar 69,86; 28,51; 35,11. Sedangkan untuk bahan baku plywood, metode yang menunjukkan tingkat kesalahan terkecil yaitu metode Double Exponential Smoothing dengan nilai MAPE sebesar 62,38.
Marine Debris: A Global Environmental and Socioeconomic Challenge to Coastal and Marine Ecosystems

Marine debris is an alarming issue for the marine environment and impacts the coastal and marine life by causing severe injuries, reduced health, decreased reproductive output and mortality. Over 400 million tons of plastic are produced every year for use in a wide variety of applications. At least 14 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year, and plastic makes up 80% of all marine debris found from surface waters to deep-sea sediments. Plastic pollution threatens food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change. Due to its durability, society’s adoption of plastics as a substitute for traditional materials has expanded almost exponentially as a result, large-scale plastic production began. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore new and existing legally binding agreements to address management of marine debris. This study aimed to review the marine debris with respect to types, sources, decomposition rate, impacts, and strategies for management of marine debris. The socioeconomic effects of marine debris were observed on maritime sectors (fisheries and aquaculture, coastal communities and tourism, costs of beach cleaning); high concern of the society about marine debris; and human health risks (injuries due to pieces of glass, metal fragments, discarded syringes and medical waste). The result also showed that to reduce the impacts of marine debris, it is necessary to change mind-set and habits of people about waste disposal, and to avoid production and use of single-use plastics by producers and consumers. It is suggested that, input prevention should be the major objective during management efforts of marine debris. Reduction measures such as proper waste management, plastic recycling, and stringent penalties for illegal waste dumping are essential to reduce the marine debris.

Aging research has focused on the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) over time, which are a main contributor to the aging process. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the intradermal solution containing 0.1% HA, amino acids, and glutathione for the treatment of skin damage caused by free radicals. A total of 75 subjects were screened and analyzed, and 60 subjects were included in the study. Eligible subjects underwent baseline assessments and received 10 injections of solution of 0.1% HA, amino acid, and glutathione, one injection every 7 days for 8 weeks plus one injection every 15 days for four weeks. The efficacy of the treatments was evaluated by measuring the level of oxidative stress and GAIS at day 90. Photographic documentation of the treated regions was taken at all visits. The oxidative stress level had significantly improved at day 90 compared with the baseline as the mean at baseline was 477.4 while at day 90, it was 356.2. The GAIS improved significantly after 90 days, and the oxidative stress level significantly improved at day 90 compared to baseline as the mean at baseline was 477.4, while at day 90, it was 356.2. Based on the safety and efficacy data presented, SKIN OX is likely to be a valuable tool for treating skin damage due to free radicals and an asset to counter the effects of aging.

Analog attendance systems are still widely used in various companies as a tool to record employee attendance. This study aims to analyze the level of work discipline among employees using analog attendance systems. The research data was collected through interviews with several employees, direct observation, and analysis of employee attendance reports at PT. Sumber Mas Indah Plywood over a specific period. The results of the study show that analog attendance systems have several major weaknesses, such as being prone to data manipulation like proxy attendance, inaccuracies in manual recording, and the loss or damage of attendance cards. Moreover, this system is considered inefficient as the manual recording process takes more time and does not support real-time monitoring of discipline. These weaknesses negatively impact employee discipline levels and the overall productivity of the company. The conclusion of this study is that the use of analog attendance systems is not effective in improving employee work discipline or in optimally managing attendance data. Therefore, the company is advised to consider upgrading to modern technology-based attendance systems, such as face recognition, to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and overall management of employee discipline.
