Authors: Giovanella Tharsos Hister , De Oliveira Fabrício Correia , Tluszcz Júlia , Ziech Ana Regina Dahlem
Published: September 2023

A evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) é uma variável agrometeorológica, que representa a demanda de água da atmosfera. É um elemento meteorológico extremamente importante para a realização de balanço hídrico, manejo de irrigação, zoneamento agrícola de risco climático e gerenciamento dos recursos hídricos. Sua estimativa depende de diversos parâmetros que nem sempre estão disponíveis. Assim, torna-se necessário que sejam avaliados métodos alternativos, preferencialmente que usem menos dados de entrada para as estimativas. Porém, estes métodos apresentam grandes limitações quando utilizados fora da sua região de origem. Assim, a validação dos modelos pode melhorar significativamente o desempenho das estimativas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo regionalizar e avaliar o desempenho de métodos empíricos para estimativa de ETo, considerando a região oeste do Paraná. Para isso, foram utilizadas nove estações meteorológicas para a calibrar e mais cinco estações para a validar e avaliar o desempenho de equações regionais desenvolvidas. As calibrações foram realizadas utilizando a extensão Solver do Microsoft Excel. A avaliação de desempenho das estimativas foi realizada por meio de indicadores estatísticos: concordância de Wilmott, Correlação de Pearson, Coeficiente de Nash-Sutcliffe, raiz do erro quadrado médio e erro médio absoluto. A calibração dos métodos proporcionou incremento no desempenho das estimativas. O método de Jensen-Haise se destacou, fornecendo melhores estimativas para a região.

Published: September 2023

Information technology has produced many modern systems in the field of intelligent transportation systems that aim to integrate existing and new systems for the management of transportation and traffic networks to respond to changing (dynamic) traffic conditions. These systems have been applied in many Western countries for several purposes, the most important of which is traffic safety and the reduction of losses resulting from poor planning of these networks. Many transport systems in developing countries continue to suffer from many problems, such as high accident rates, traffic congestion, and pollution from car exhaust. This paper aims to use multi-criteria decision-making methods to help select the best technology to overcome the traffic problems in Libya. A hybrid model of Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) and the Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to COmpromise Solution (MARCOS) method was used. The AHP method was used to determine the weights of six technologies for intelligent systems, with the results showing that the most appropriate technology was surveillance cameras, with a weight of 28%. The resulting weights were used to rank the impact of these technologies on safety, environment and efficiency. This study can help decision makers on selection of the best systems that can be used to overcome the current problems faced by the transportation system.

Authors: Santos Souza Emilaine , Hevilyn Ramos da Cruz Almeida Talita
Published: September 2023

Sepsis is defined as an organic dysfunction resulting from a deregulated immune system response to an infectious process. It is characterized as a public health problem, has a high lethality rate and a high incidence in Intensive Care Units. The aim of this study was to describe the main preventive measures and treatment that are part of nursing care in cases of sepsis in the ICU. This is a descriptive bibliographic study carried out in 2020 in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Google Scholar and Virtual Health Library databases. We used 12 articles from 2014 to 2019 that met the inclusion criteria and objectives of the study. It was found that most of the studies highlighted the need for more effective treatment and care; however, little was said about the specific procedures to be implemented by nursing professionals. Based on the results obtained, it can be inferred that there is a need for more technical scientific knowledge on the part of the nursing team, which highlights the need for training and continuing education activities in the sectors.

Proteger dos prejuízos das experiências adversas na infância é possível?
Authors: Santos de Carvalho Scheila
Published: September 2023

Partindo de uma inquietação empírica da experiência profissional, a autora empreende uma revisão bibiográfica para compreender os desdobramentos para o desenvolvimento biopsicossocial infantojuvenil das experiências adversas na infância - EAI, apontadas por Felitti et al. (1998) como extensivas a todos os segmentos da população. Dessa revisão bibliográfica, fundamentou-se a hipótese inicial da correlação entre a qualidade e intensidade das experiências vividas (positivas ou negativas), em especial na infância, e o processo de desenvolvimento integral saudável desse ser. Os estudos apontaram que a vivência de eventos traumáticos nos primeiros anos de vida, com atenção especial ao contexto familiar, pode impactar negativamente o desenvolvimento infanto-juvenil em seu funcionamento emocional, comportamental, cognitivo, social e físico. Seria possível, então, evitar os prejuízos dessas EAI? Fundamentada nas pesquisas revisadas, a autora prossegue elencando quais fatores poderiam ser considerados de risco ou protetivos para a ocorrência das EAI, destacando-se como efetivamente protetores: ambiente familiar estável, relações familiares de apoio e traços de personalidade que reforçam as habilidades sociais. Os estudos ainda sugeriram que promover políticas públicas de apoio às famílias, de caráter preventivo e articulado, se mostraram mais eficazes para se evitar ou mitigar os efeitos das EAI, ao fortalecer os fatores protetivos. Portanto, esses fatores têm sido apontados como contribuintes em algum grau com a probabilidade de preservação da criança/adolescente de experienciar EAI e/ou de atenuar o efeito das consequências, aliviando o sofrimento comum nessas vivências. Por esse motivo, intervenções nesse sentido estão na pauta internacional das organizações governamentais referências de enfrentamento das EAI.
NUANCES DO APRENDIZADO ONLINE ANTES E DURANTE A PANDEMIA
Authors: Avelar Reniel , Bujokas de Siqueira Alexandra
Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho faz uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo narrativa a fim de identificar temas e nuances relacionados ao ensino online antes e depois da pandemia de Covid 19. Para tanto, foram selecionados 17 artigos publicados na Revista Brasileira de Educação (RBE), por sua vinculação com a ANPEd, um dos mais importantes representantes do cenário acadêmico e das pesquisas sobre educação. A triagem compreendeu o início de 2020 ao início de 2023 e incluiu trabalhos que abordassem o uso de tecnologias de comunicação e informação em contexto educacionais relacionados ou não com a pandemia de Covid-19, podendo ser estudos de revisão, estudos empíricos e disponíveis na íntegra para leitura. Os critérios de exclusão foram: aplicação de tecnologias de comunicação e informação em contextos não educacionais ou não voltados para a avaliação da tecnologia para o desenvolvimento pedagógico de professores ou alunos, estudos focados em grupos com transtornos de aprendizagem específicos e trabalhos que não estivessem disponíveis integralmente para leitura. Os resultados da análise destacam, entre outros, os seguintes pontos: o conectivismo ganha relevância na reconfiguração das redes de ensino e aprendizagem, a pandemia reforçou uma "desterritorialização do ensino" que já vinha em curso devido ao avanço da internet, há uma demanda urgente para se adotar abordagens adequadas para lidar com a vasta quantidade de informações disponíveis. As percepções de estudantes e professores sobre diferentes modalidades de ensino durante a pandemia não são propriamente otimistas mas, ainda assim, a maioria acredita que a modalidade híbrida será a mais utilizada no ensino superior no futuro. Por fim, há um movimento de “desescolarização” impulsionado pela tecnologia, com ênfase na aprendizagem contínua e na transferência do poder institucional da escola para o indivíduo, movimento esse influenciado por políticas neoliberais que pressionam por uma transformação do sistema educacional tradicional.

Authors: Gonçalves Willima Kleverson , Carvalho Candido Giulia , Fernández Franzoso Ileana Celeste
Published: September 2023

Desde o golpe de 2016 e a implementação da Lei n° 13.415/17, estudantes dos cursos de Licenciatura em Letras – Espanhol ou com habilitação em Espanhol têm se deparado com um cenário desolador. A partir dessa Lei, a língua espanhola foi retirada do conjunto de disciplinas obrigatórias, agora tendo lugar, enquanto língua adicional, somente o Inglês. Nesse cenário, o presente projeto tem por objetivo analisar as consequências negativas dessas medidas adotadas pós 2016 para os/as estudantes de Letras – Espanhol, que estão sendo usadas, inclusive, como uma pretensa política (linguística) educacional. Assim sendo, a nível metodológico, optou-se por uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, a fim de construir um sólido referencial teórico para fazer uma análise crítica da Lei e da BNCC, com o intuito de alcançar o objetivo proposto. Além disso, através dessas leituras, foi possível comparar as proposições apontadas pelos autores com as hipóteses levantadas neste trabalho: com o fim da Lei do Espanhol, docentes formadas/os não mais poderão atuar na Educação Básica em decorrência da não oferta do Espanhol, e com isso haverá a necessidade de se pensar alternativas outras para a sua inserção no mercado laboral. Preliminarmente, percebeu-se que a hipótese se confirmou: com a Lei e a BNCC, lecionar língua espanhola na Educação Básica não é mais possível, haja vista serem poucas as escolas que ainda mantêm a língua em sua matriz curricular. Como consequência disso, essas/es profissionais têm de seguir outros caminhos, como dar aulas em cursos de língua e pré-vestibular, trabalhar com edição e tradução etc.

A Variance Analysis on the Porosity Distribution of Laser Welded A365 Casting with a Dual Beam Laser Under Various Oscillation Conditions
Authors: Kim Hyeonhee , Jang Yong Hoon , Kang Minjung
Published: September 2023

Aluminum die casting facilitates the large-scale production of lightweight components. Complex and load-optimized geometries can be produced with high dimensional accuracy. However, the die-cast part has a high hydrogen content, which affects its weldability. In this study, laser welding with a combination of dual-beam and laser-beam oscillation was investigated, and the effect of welding factors on the penetration depth and pore formation were evaluated based on analysis of variance. The power distribution between the core and ring, the welding speed, oscillation width, and frequency were selected as the factors. All produced samples were analyzed based on their cross-sectional and X-ray images. The core power significantly influenced the penetration depth, and the oscillation effect was negligible for penetration depth but not for pore distribution. Core power and welding speed were the significant factors that caused the variation in pore distribution.

Published: September 2023

Although the requirements of underwater welding has been increasing in the marine field, limited studies have been conducted on the systematic approaches for underwater welding education. The present study was conducted to provide baseline data to understand the educational underwater welding process for commercial diving candidates. For this, optimal welding parameters for underwater were configured, experimental welding dives were conducted, and weld coupons were inspected and analyzed.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows respective weld passes. In the root pass, the insufficient weld deposit sizes owing to the fast weld speed were the main defects. In the second pass, non-paralleled beads and insufficient weld convexity were the main defects. In the third pass, incomplete deposit between the beads and the unplaned weld surface were the main defects. Finally, macro-etching test revealed incomplete penetration, slag inclusion, undersize of weld and unplaned weld profile.
The aforementioned weld defects must be reduced for beginner welder divers, selecting welding parameters such as suitable amperage, accurate work angle, and weld speed as the main variables.

Authors: Ghalandari Nasibeh , Assarzadegan Farhad , Habibi Seyed Amir Hassan , Esmaily Hadi , Malekpour Habib
Published: September 2023

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the common neurodegenerative diseases, and there has been an increasing interest in the potential role of intestinal dysbiosis in its pathogenesis and related gastrointestinal complications such as constipation. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of multi-strain probiotics on constipation and motor function in PD patients. Methods: This study was a blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that involved 27 PD patients who were diagnosed with constipation according to the ROME IV criteria for functional constipation. The primary outcome measured before and after the intervention in both the placebo and probiotic groups was the frequency of defecation. Secondary outcomes evaluated were laxative use, sense of complete evacuation, Bristol Stool Scale for consistency, and Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scale. The study lasted for eight weeks. Both groups also were educated about lifestyle modification. Results: Of 30 included patients (15 in each group), 13 were women, and 17 were men. Three patients dropped out of the study. Between-group analysis showed that the frequency of bowel movements significantly increased in the probiotic group 4 [3 - 5] in comparison with 2 [2 - 3] in placebo (P = 0.02). Stool consistency also improved in the probiotic group (P = 0.04). However, there were no significant differences in other outcomes. The within-group analysis showed improvement in stool consistency in both probiotics and placebo groups (P = 0.01 and P = 0.007, respectively), while stool frequency and sense of complete evacuation significantly improved only in the probiotic group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that multi-strain probiotics could improve frequency, consistency, and sense of complete evacuation in PD patients, while there was no significant effect on motor functions in 8 weeks. It is suggested that additional studies be conducted on longer-term effects.
En busca del cine perdido
Authors: Pinta María Fernanda
Published: September 2023

En el presente trabajo nos interesa estudiar el modo en que los distintos proyectos audiovisuales e instalativos del artista argentino Joaquín Aras articulan las memorias frágiles y los sucesivos ejercicios de traducción y apropiación para rescatar y/o producir archivos y experiencias cinematográficas. Así, entre la historia oral, el recuerdo de los espectadores y el hacer artístico, trabajos audiovisuales como los de Aras se preguntan por los modos singulares de agenciamiento de la memoria del cine –más allá de los regímenes institucionales de lo archivable– y por otros modos del contacto afectivo con el medio cinematográfico y su historia. Al mismo tiempo, en estas obras artísticas –que son igualmente ejercicios reflexivos–, las prácticas audiovisuales contemporáneas explorar las expansiones y desarrollos del propio medio a la luz de una historia que le es propia y de un presente y un futuro en constante transformación.
Diarios de mayo
Authors: Romano Florencia
Published: September 2023

En el intenso ahora (Moreira Salles, 2017) reconstruye los sucesos alrededor del mayo francés a partir de un montaje que entrecruza imágenes del archivo histórico con imágenes del archivo familiar y personal del director. Por medio de una voz en off que guía la lectura de las imágenes, el narrador desarrolla un relato ensayístico que parte de la siguiente premisa: “no siempre sabemos lo que estamos filmando”.

En un cruce entre las formas del ensayo y las propias del informe expositivo, la película recorre los elementos del archivo a través de una serie de operaciones de des-montaje y fragmentación, las cuales desandan sobre el relato histórico del mayo francés, deslegitimándolo en favor de una idea de verdad que se pretende posible de ubicar en sus imágenes.

Reconocer y analizar las características de las miradas sobre el pasado presentes en las ficciones contemporáneas permite comprender las relaciones actuales con la historia. En esa dirección, este trabajo analiza el montaje de En el intenso ahora poniendo especial atención al recorte que el narrador realiza sobre las imágenes históricas a partir de la voz en off y de la puesta en relación con su archivo familiar, dos recursos que se vuelven fundamentales para pensar la manera en que la película construye una idea memoria, sobre todo, en relación a la posibilidad que la película propone respecto de una distinción entre memoria histórica y memoria privada.

Published: September 2023

As in any other measurement process, NDE is subject to variability whose impact can be assessed to guarantee a given level of performance. Once NDE prevents catastrophic failures, deaths and environmental damage, identifying uncertainties and variability in NDE help to design more reliable inspections, therefore is a process that saves lives. This is the goal of a reliability study. Statistical indicators such as Probability of Detection (POD) curves give insights to allow building of mechanical designs with enough « secure margin » for structural integrity and to also define appropriate maintenance & inspection cycles. Simulation is very useful to support performance or reliability demonstrations that require a lot of data (such as POD studies and qualification campaigns), and where simulation can help by reducing the number of necessary mock-ups and experimental trials. In addition to physical models, the NDE simulation software CIVA now offers meta-modelling techniques. Built from an initial set of physical simulations, such surrogate models give the user the possibility to generate a massive amount of data while combining and exploring multi parametric variations. This is particularly efficient in the context of reliability studies, when you have to find the best settings, track the worst-case scenario or build POD curves. This paper illustrates the use of this meta-modelling approach for the reliability study of a longitudinal weld AUT inspection. Real pipe mill inspection data are provided and compared to modelling and meta-modelling results.
Fake Face Detection Based on Colour Textual Analysis Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Alkishri Wasin , Widyarto Setyawan , Yousif Jabar H. , Al-Bahri Mahmood
Published: September 2023

Detecting fake faces has become a crucial endeavour within the realm of computer vision. The widespread availability of digital media has facilitated the creation and dissemination of deceptive and misleading content. A prominent strategy for identifying counterfeit faces employs advanced deep-learning methodologies that scrutinise both colour and textural attributes. This investigation is geared towards devising a method for discerning fake faces by leveraging the capabilities of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These networks are trained to discriminate between authentic and forged images by discerning nuances in their colour characteristics. To achieve this, the MSU MFSD dataset will be harnessed, allowing for exploring colour textures and extracting facial traits across diverse colour channels, including RGB, HSV, and YCbCr.The proposed framework marks a notable stride in the realm of computer vision research, particularly given the prevalent employment of digital media, which has eased the generation and distribution of misleading or deceitful content. Developing dependable systems for identifying counterfeit faces holds immense potential in curtailing the proliferation of false information and upholding the integrity of digital media platforms.
A Proposed Technical Debt Management Approach Applied on Software Projects in Egypt
Authors: Hamed Abeer Salah Eldeen , Elbakry Hazem M. , Riad Alaa Eldin , Moawad Ramadan
Published: September 2023

Technical Debt (TD) is a metaphor that can be described as the technical issues that are hidden from end users and customers, but in fact hinder the development efforts during system evolution and future enhancements. Due to tight budgets and timelines, TD is frequently incurred, which may lead to technical, financial, and quality issues that make future maintenance more costly or impossible. While business professionals concentrate on external issues related to customer satisfaction, in fact they rarely pay attention to internal software quality defects and maintenance, which would rather cause future interest payments. In this research study, we propose a TD management (TDM) approach with best practices developed using Design Science Research (DSR) and conducted with multiple case studies for the software development team in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The study demonstrates that the proposed approach for measuring the impact of internal / external software quality leads to increased awareness of TD’s occurrence and thereby provides processes for preventing, identifying, prioritizing, monitoring, and repaying TD to satisfy both customer value and technical requirements, along with halting project failures and cost overruns. In actuality, applying our proposed TDM approach leads to a deeper comprehension of TD contraction in selected software companies, improved team morale and motivation, as well as an enhancement in its maintainability.
