ESTUDO DE VIABILIDADE TÉCNICO-ECONÔMICA PARA INSERÇÃO DE SISTEMAS FOTOVOLTAICOS E ARMAZENAMENTO DE ENERGIA EM UMA INDUSTRIA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Lima José Fárlei Oliveira , Impinnisi Patrício Rodolfo
Published: June 2024

Este trabalho discute uma alternativa metodológica para estudo da redução do custo da energia elétrica em uma empresa do setor industrial brasileiro a partir de uma análise de viabilidade técnico-econômica, a qual depende de fatores como custo dos componentes, legislação e avanços tecnológicos. Estudos recentes mostram que a análise técnico-econômica tem se tornado cada vez mais favorável para o aproveitamento de energias renováveis, especialmente para consumidores residenciais, mas que ainda há desafios a serem superados no caso de cenários com armazenamento. O estudo analisou a viabilidade técnico-econômica de instalar um sistema híbrido de geração de energia elétrica, composto por painéis fotovoltaicos e armazenamento por baterias, em uma indústria farmacêutica de dispositivos médicos. Foi comparado, aplicando simulação no software Homer Pro, o contrato atual da empresa no mercado livre com outras tarifas da concessionária, e verificado que o contrato atual é menos favorável para a instalação do sistema alternativo devido ao custo da energia ser menor que a tarifa da distribuidora. A partir dos resultados foi identificada a opção mais viável como sendo um sistema híbrido composto pela rede elétrica com contrato atual com adição de 3.200 kW de energia fotovoltaica instalada e conversor de corrente, e indicado que o sistema é viável tanto técnica quanto economicamente, sem a instalação de sistema de armazenamento. Contudo, o payback simples próximo à 8 anos pode ser considerado longo, o que pode dificultar sua implantação na prática a depender das políticas de cada empresa. O estudo sugere, a partir do teste de hipóteses baseadas na condição do ‘e se’ pela análise de sensibilidade do software, que com o barateamento das tecnologias de painéis fotovoltaicos, assim como o aumento da eficiência destes e a variabilidade do preço das tarifas de energia, a implantação de microgeração distribuída nas indústrias brasileiras pode ser melhor viabilizada.

Published: June 2024

Community Radio has played an important role in shaping good local governance, village governance, supporting the people's economy, and preserving local wisdom. However, in the current era of new media, the existence of community radio is increasingly tested by various challenges. This study aims to understand how community radio managers adapt to the development of information and communication technology that continues to evolve. The research method used is descriptive with qualitative approach. Community radio is faced with the fact that information and communication technologies are constantly evolving, forming what we know as new media. In earlier eras, radio was identified with a physical device called a radio, but now radio broadcasts can be accessed via online channels or by streaming without being constrained by frequency range. These new media-based broadcasts often lack personal interaction with their listeners. Therefore, to build a more emotional connection with its audience, community radio managers and broadcasters need to adopt a more humanist approach. They seek to strengthen the bond between community radio and its listeners through more direct, responsive, and personalized interactions. Thus, they create stronger bonds and build loyalty among their listeners. This study is expected to provide a deeper insight into the adaptation strategies undertaken by community radio in the face of rapid changes in the media environment. With a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities at hand, community radio can continue to be a relevant and beneficial means for local communities.

Authors: Fillipova Tat'yana , Malova Mariya , Medanova Kseniya , Nozhenko Tat'yana
Published: June 2024

Agricultural lands are one of the most important categories of land resources in the Russian Federation, since they are the basis of the economic sector that provides the population with food, as well as for obtaining raw materials for various industries. The main means of production in agriculture is land, as well as the use of natural resources that are inextricably linked with the land.
After the land reform of 1991 in Russia, many shortcomings began to emerge in the use of agricultural land. Undesirable phenomena began to appear in the agricultural land use system, which often include underutilization of agricultural lands, which leads to their overgrowing with trees and shrubs and their further transfer to non-agricultural lands, violation of the scientifically based use of arable lands, the development of land use deficiencies, and the lack of clear fixed boundaries of economic entities. These problems are more pronounced in the increase in the area of agricultural land, which is subject to negative natural processes, the development of erosion and deflation, a decrease insoilfertility, etc.

Bağış, tarihten günümüze en önemli sosyal dayanışma araçlarından biri olmuştur. Bir başkasının yararı için gözetilen hedef doğrultusunda bağışlanan şey; nakit, eşya, gayr-i menkul gibi maddi ya da vakit, emek gibi manevi bir türde olabilir. Günümüzde üretimin hızlanması ve buna bağlı olarak insanoğlunun değişen tüketim alışkanlıkları düşünüldüğünde ikinci el eşyaların da bağış kapsamına alınması sosyal dayanışmada önemli bir fark oluşturacaktır. Nitekim ikinci el eşyalar doğrudan ihtiyaç sahibi bireyin ihtiyacını giderebileceği gibi, bu eşyalardan edinilecek para sosyal dayanışma kurumlarına aktarılabilir. Bu doğrultuda ikinci el eşyaların ekonomiye kazandırılmasını sağlayarak, eşyaların bağış kapsamında iyi şekilde değerlendirilebileceği kurumlar geliştirilebilir. Ancak geliştirilecek tüm kurum ve modeller için öncelikle bağış potansiyelinin ölçülmesi, sonuçlar doğrultusunda hareket edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ikinci el ürünlerin bağışlanmasını hangi faktörlerin etkilediğini ölçmek ve bu doğrultuda bağış temelli modeller için yol gösterecek bir analiz ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, seçilen örneklem üzerinden Türkiye genelinde bağış potansiyelini ölçmeye yönelik bir anket uygulaması yapılmıştır. Anketle kişilerin bağışlarını neden, nasıl, hangi sıklıkla, ne şekilde ve kime yaptığı gibi sorulara yanıt almak amaçlanmıştır. Sonuçlar ikinci el eşyaların ekonomiye kazandırılması doğrultusunda yorumlanmıştır. Bağış konusunda yapılan benzer çalışmalardan farklı olarak, anket ve analizlerde ikinci el eşya bağışının odak noktası tutulması makalenin özgün yönünü oluşturmaktadır. Makalede sunulan çıktıların; sosyal dayanışmada ikinci el eşya bağışı konusunun ele alınmasına katkı sağlaması, Türkiye’deki bağış potansiyelini belirli açılardan yansıtması ve kullanılmış eşya bağışının hangi yardımlaşma araçlarına hizmet edeceği hususunda yapılacak ileri çalışmalar için zemin oluşturması umulmaktadır.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Acid-base imbalance has been poorly described in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Study by the quantitative acid-base approach may be able to account for minor changes in ion distribution that may have been overlooked using traditional acid-base analysis techniques. In a cohort of critically ill COVID-19 patients, we looked for an association between metabolic acidosis surrogates and worse clinical outcomes, such as mortality, renal dialysis, and length of hospital stay.

AIM

To describe the acid-base disorders of critically ill COVID-19 patients using Stewart’s approach, associating its variables with poor outcomes.

METHODS

This study pertained to a retrospective cohort comprised of adult patients who experienced an intensive care unit stay exceeding 4 days and who were diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection through a positive polymerase chain reaction analysis of a nasal swab and typical pulmonary involvement observed in chest computed tomography scan. Laboratory and clinical data were obtained from electronic records. Categorical variables were compared using Fisher’s exact test. Continuous data were presented as median and interquartile range. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons.

RESULTS

In total, 211 patients were analyzed. The mortality rate was 13.7%. Overall, 149 patients (70.6%) presented with alkalosis, 28 patients (13.3%) had acidosis, and the remaining 34 patients (16.2%) had a normal arterial pondus hydrogenii. Of those presenting with acidosis, most had a low apparent strong ion difference (SID) (20 patients, 9.5%). Within the group with alkalosis, 128 patients (61.0%) had respiratory origin. The non-survivors were older, had more comorbidities, and had higher Charlson’s and simplified acute physiology score 3. We did not find severe acid-base imbalance in this population. The analyzed Stewart’s variables (effective SID, apparent SID, and strong ion gap and the effect of albumin, lactate, phosphorus, and chloride) were not different between the groups.

CONCLUSION

Alkalemia is prevalent in COVID-19 patients. Although we did not find an association between acid-base variables and mortality, the use of Stewart’s methodology may provide insights into this severe disease.

Fire is the out-of-control burning method of flammable substances, which includes wood, paper, plastic, fuel, or different substances, which produce heat, mild smoke, and toxic gases. Fires can occur, including woodland fires caused by lightning or because of human activities, along with building fires due to electric short circuits or errors in the use of fire. In building design, it is miles vital to apprehend the elements that cause fires and the fireplace's resistance to materials. Metal is a form of metallic made from a primary mixture of iron (Fe) and carbon     (C), with the amount of carbon typically being much less than 2 per cent of its general weight. Steel is a very common fabric used in a spread of applications due to its aggregate of robust, long-lasting, and malleable properties.

Technology, Law, Freedom And Development
Authors: Benkler Yochai
Published: June 2024

Technology interacts with social, economic and legal frameworks to set the basic ‘affordances’ and constraints of human action over time. While biotechnology and nanotechnology may portend significant upheavals in the future, the most significant present transformation revolves around computers and the emergence of the networked information economy. These new technological and economic conditions are creating new forms of production and new forms of social behaviour that are fundamentally altering the way we know the world, how we learn about how the world is and how we can make it become. It is important that we study this transformation and understand it in political as well as economic terms. How we manage the transition - in particular how we construct the basic institutions governing it, such as intellectual property and communications law - will go to the very structure of freedom and the possibility of human development in the coming decades

Staff shortages and the implementation of social robotics in forensic care.

Forensic care is provided under political and societal pressure. At the same time this sector faces an increasing lack of qualified personnel. This study describes whether, and if so in which way, social robots can contribute to the quality of forensic care and relieve the burden on staff. As no studies have yet been conducted on the applicability of this technology in forensic care, first literature was searched for studies on experiences with social robots in general mental health care. Subsequently, by means of desk research, forensic treatment methods were identified for which social robotics could currently be used. For three tasks for which potential for social robots was seen prototypes were developed, namely ADL, Companionship and Early Recognition Method. Two focus groups in which a total of twelve employees from the forensic field discussed the applicability of these prototypes as well as social robotics in general in forensic care. The participants saw various opportunities for social robots to contribute to the quality of treatment. It was concluded that the use of robots should be seen as a supplement to or deepening of current care, and not as a replacement for care as it is currently provided by humans. It is also emphasized that the implementation of social robotics in forensic care requires specialized knowledge and skills from the already heavily burdened forensic care providers.

Bronnen van gezag – Een empirisch onderzoek naar de totstandkoming van reputaties van toezichthouders

De reputatie van toezichthouders wordt van groot belang geacht voor hun effectiviteit en maatschappelijk gezag. Er is echter nog weinig kennis over de vraag hoe reputaties van toezichthouders tot stand komen en waarop die zijn gebaseerd. Een beter begrip van de totstandkoming van reputaties kan bijdragen aan het publieke gezag van toezichthouders. Dit onderzoek beantwoordt de vraag welke factoren de reputatie van toezichthouders bepalen in de ogen van hun eigen medewerkers en in de ogen van onder toezicht gestelde organisaties, en hoe deze opvattingen zich tot elkaar verhouden. Uit het onderzoek is gebleken dat reputatie in de ogen van onder toezicht gestelde organisaties, en in de ogen van medewerkers van toezichthouders, in belangrijke mate stoelt op de prestaties en activiteiten van de toezichthouder; op de kwaliteit van de interacties met ondertoezichtstaanden en burgers; en op mediaberichtgeving. Institutionele factoren, zoals onafhankelijkheid, lijken minder relevant voor reputatie.

Preventie van witwassen – Waarom ‘van herstel naar balans’ goed is, maar het nog beter kan!

In dit essay schetsen wij de recente ontwikkelingen in het toezicht op de antiwitwasregelgeving van De Nederlandsche Bank aan de hand van het rapport Van herstel naar balans uit september 2022. Naar onze mening is dit een positieve ontwikkeling, maar het kan nog beter. Wij richten ons daarbij op de focus van DNB op de bancaire sector en het ontbreken van een zichtbare dialoog tussen andere Wwft-toezichthouders en de bij hen onder toezicht staande instellingen. Een effectieve aanpak van witwassen vereist samenwerking en een sectoroverstijgende aanpak. Deze is er nu niet, althans niet voldoende zichtbaar.

«Plant Horror». Algunas consideraciones sobre el «cine fantástico vegetal»
Authors: Roig Pau
Published: June 2024

Este artículo propone una panorámica a la vez histórica y teórica sobre la representación que lo vegetal ha tenido en el cine fantástico y en otros géneros y categorías afines, como la ficción científica o el llamado «Folk Horror», constatando que en las propuestas englobadas por lo general en la denominación de terror ecológico los elementos vegetales han tenido un protagonismo menor que los animales y los insectos. La visualización de la Naturaleza como un todo de connotaciones casi divinas en la que todos sus integrantes actúan al unísono para protegerse de agresiones externas ha sido representada en diversas propuestas de aire apocalíptico y de defensa del medio natural (por ejemplo en el cine australiano de finales de la década de 1970), aunque las plantas y los árboles rara vez se han erigido en los protagonistas activas de estas ficciones: los elementos del reino vegetal han sido utilizados generalmente como escenario —extensión de una amenaza o Mal que se cierne sobre los personajes—, y como instrumento, ya sea de una venganza sobrenatural o de las actividades de científicos con delirios de grandeza o de jardineros de oscuras intenciones.
The Ibero-Romance rhotics
Authors: Brandão de Carvalho Joaquim
Published: June 2024

The two rhotic consonants of Ibero-Romance languages are characterised by their very specific distribution and by the prosodic weight of one of them. Data has hitherto suggested a geminate-to-single contrast for the pair of rhotics. It will be shown here that this view must be rejected in favour of another which sees these putative geminates as complex syllabic onsets. But this hypothesis only holds if it can be shown that sonorants and only sonorants are likely to have weight in onset position in these languages. The Alignment theory of sonority makes this possible since sonority and weight appear as particular cases of the behaviour of the nucleus in that framework.

The objective of this study is to explore the immediate links between the management practices of principals and the organizational atmosphere, as well as the direct connections between the academic oversight by principals and the professional skills of public elementary school educators in the Kuripan District of Barito Kuala Regency. Utilizing a quantitative approach, this investigation employs a correlational study design that is articulated through a path analysis framework. The study encompasses a total of 55 educators, with the sample including the entire population via a comprehensive sampling method. The methodology for gathering data incorporates the use of surveys and the examination of PKG (Teacher Performance Assessment) records. The analysis of the data involves descriptive statistics, tests for normality, linearity, and multicollinearity prerequisites, alongside assessments of validity and reliability, and the execution of multiple regression analyses for hypothesis testing, including t-tests, F tests, and evaluations of effective and relative contributions, in addition to path analysis. Findings indicate a direct correlation between the principals’ managerial roles and the professional capabilities of teachers at 0.352, between principals’ managerial roles and the organizational environment at 0.424, between academic oversight and teachers’ professional capabilities at 0.335, between academic oversight and the organizational environment at 0.380, and between the organizational environment and teachers’ professional capabilities at 0.346. Indirect correlations were observed between managerial activities of principals through the organizational climate on teachers’ professional capabilities at 0.147, and academic oversight through organizational climate impacting teachers’ professional capabilities (Y) at 0.131. In summary, the study confirms both direct and indirect associations between the managerial tasks of principals and academic oversight, mediated by the organizational climate, with the professional competence of teachers.
Maskuliniteter i förändring på mansdominerade arbetsplatser. Exemplet gruvindustrin
Authors: Abrahamsson Lena , Johansson Kristina , Tosser Franklin Wilhelm , Heimann Samuel
Published: June 2024

This article discusses how changes in male-dominated work are connected to changes in gender constructions in the workplaces. The discussion is based on results from research conducted 2001–2021, mainly qualitative empirical studies of mine work. Although the development of the mining industry will not be as technologically deterministic and rapid as the usual dystopian and utopian visions predict, our research shows that there has already been changes that have affected mine work and workplaces. These changes have challenged the old, gendered mining workplace cultures and the implementation of new technology and reorganisation initially met resistance in the workplace. Workplace cultures seemed to be lagging behind in their acceptance of technological and organizational changes. The resistance was shaped in relation to intertwined masculinities and miner identities linked to the old ‘macho masculin-ity’, a form of local hegemonic masculinity built upon overarching myths and discourses about both mining and rural communities. The subsequent changes of mining work resulted in new gender encodings of the new technology and the new spaces of work – which created new organisational gender boundaries and new forms of inequality. At the same time, there are new forms of masculinities and feminini-ties emerging in mining organizations, which can provide openings for gender equality. Although mine work continues to be male dominated, we can see that new places, new technology, improved work environment and increased gender equality seem to imply that it has become difficult to preserve the old (‘macho’) miner masculinity and to maintain the gender marking of mining work as male and the image of the miner as male.
As of now, the ‘green transition’ and the acceleration of new digital technologies implemented in mine work is beginning to shape the industrial workplaces of northern Sweden. The discourses of “green” and “technological transformation” are permeated by gendered preconceptions, by some expected to reshape the masculine workplace of the mine. Yet, our conclusion is that transformation of gendered structures in mining is not foremost dependent of technological change. Rather, we have seen complex connections between gender, technology, work and place for these male-dominated industrial workplaces, including processes of both stability and change, suggesting that changes in workplaces does not only challenge but also reproduce and reconfigure gender-based preconceptions and social constructions of gender.

Understanding climate dynamics, helps in making decisions in several areas, especially in agriculture, which is totally dependent on climate conditions for its development. Thus, the objective was to evaluate climate behavior, changes, and trends and their impacts on grain production in the municipality of Rio Verde, Goiás, Brazil. Meteorological data were collected from the National Institute of Meteorology, covering the period from 1972 to 2023. Rio Verde has favorable climatic conditions for the development of soybeans, however, if the same standards of greenhouse effect gas emissions are maintained, changes in climate change will affect plant production, through increased air temperature, reduced relative humidity, greater water demand for crops, irregular distribution of rainfall and the tendency for extreme events to increase. Even with low correlation, the minimum air temperature and solar radiation are the meteorological elements that most influence soybean production. The gradual increase in these variables can compromise crop performance, reducing production. For the municipality to remain competitive in the production of soybeans, there must be phenological changes in the plants, with priority given to drought-tolerant species, sowing scheduling, soil management and straw conservation, techniques that will mitigate the impacts of climate changes.
Projeto Américo Falcão: jovens lucenenses à luz do patrono poeta regional
Authors: Castor Anna Cecília Soares
Published: June 2024

Américo Augusto de Souza Falcão nasceu em Lucena, no estado da Paraíba, e é ele quem nomeia nossa Escola Municipal de Ensino Infantil e Fundamental. Durante o ano escolar de aulas remotas no ensino público em 2021 em nosso estado, os alunos desta instituição participaram de um projeto multidisciplinar envolvendo a história do autor e estabeleceram conexões em sua terra natal, realizando releituras de vida e obra do artista com suas próprias experiências pessoais. Dessa forma, o objetivo central do artigo é divulgar à comunidade de professores as experiências vividas e os processos de aprendizagem em nossa prática educativa nas aulas de artes. Para isto, tomamos como base o suporte teórico-metodológico da abordagem triangular, proposto pela pesquisadora-educadora Ana Mae Barbosa. Os resultados do projeto revelam um maior engajamento por parte dos alunos em meio a um cenário de aulas online, ampliando o acesso às reflexões sobre as experiências pedagógicas na educação básica durante a pandemia no município de Lucena.

Mitragynine and derivatives with analgesic activity were scrutinized to unravel key structural features necessary for biological activities and interactions with the m-opioid receptor (MOR). Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) scrutiny showed the anionic and phenolic sites, as well as the hydrophobic region of opioids, important for analgesic activity, susceptible to electrophilic attack by a biological target and that the presence of bulky substituents at C9 and C7 can hinder analgesia, through steric hindrance, and increase the positive MEP region in the phenolic site. Scrutiny of the interaction with the MOR showed the most active opioids, in general, having the tertiary N atom of the anionic site closest to the C atom from the COOH of the Asp147 residue of the MOR. Furthermore, opioids present hydrogen bond interactions between the H atom from the OCH3 of the phenolic site with the phenolic O atom from the OH of the Tyr148 residue of the MOR and of the H atom from the OH of this residue with the O atom from the OCH3 of the hydrophobic region. The accumulated insights led to the design of new derivatives and the identification of two (2) of them as promising derivatives for synthesis and biological assays.
ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS AS A FUNDAMENTAL INTEGRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PECULIARITIES OF ABIOTIC ENVIRONMENTS OF ECOSYSTEM - LITHOSPHERE, PEDOSPHERE, ATMOSPHERE AND HYDROSPHERE

Published: June 2024

The achievements of present regulatory and technical base for assessing quantitative indicators of ecosystems state are shown relying on the statistics of types of jobs for studying the abiotic spheres of the Earth (lithosphere, pedosphere, atmosphere and surface hydrosphere) as a part of engineering-ecological survey. Those achievements regarding to the regulation of indicators of state of abiotic spheres of ecosystem are described. Ways for further improvement of regulatory and technical base have been outlined using the doctrine of ecological functions of the lithosphere as a fundamental integral characteristic of abiotic spheres of ecosystems and the systematization of individual indicators by introducing of four categories of integral indicators (resource, geochemical, geophysical and geodynamic). Attention is drawn to the need to elaborate the integral indicators of all abiotic spheres of ecosystems basing on development of ecological geology. Various approaches for assessing of such integral indicators are considered. Variant of their determination on the base of summary indicators method is proposed.
ON THE DIFFICULTIES OF TRANSLATION OF NEOLOGISMS AND LEXICAL AND PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS OF VARIOUS STYLES IN VLADIMIR PUTIN’S PUBLIC SPEECHES: A CASE STUDY OF THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES
Authors: NOVIKOV I.A.
Published: June 2024

The paper is focused on the issue of lexical-phraseological composition of modern public political speeches, which has been significantly changed over the past few decades as a result of such linguistic and extra-linguistic factors as the rise of verbal aggression in non-cooperative speech acts due to language democratization; the emergence of new trends in economic, socio-political and cultural areas of society; the removal and destruction of speech taboos between the 20th and 21st centuries. These factors have shifted from the peripheral part of political discourse to its center such lexical units which previously were practically never found in institutional types of discourse and were exclusively the prerogative of personality-oriented discourse. A massive use of stylistically marked and culturally determined lexical units, along with various neologisms, has prompted a need to find solutions to overcome lexical-grammatical and stylistic difficulties in public political translation. Public speeches of the Russian President Vladimir Putin over the period from 2015 to 2022 served as the source of the analysis, because they have a marked interstyle nature
