Authors: Juncosa-Polzella Agostina S. , Zárate Valentín
Published: February 2023

El Lechuzón Orejudo (Asio clamator) está ampliamente distribuido en el neotrópico. Sin embargo, la información sobre su biología reproductiva es poca. En Argentina, los registros de nidificación del Lechuzón Orejudo son escasos. Los mismos se concentran en el centro y noreste del país, sin haber hasta el presente registros de nidos en el noroeste. En abril de 2019 realizamos el primer registro de nidificación del Lechuzón Orejudo en el noroeste de Argentina, específicamente en la provincia de Salta. Este trabajo es un aporte importante sobre la distribución reproductiva del Lechuzón Orejudo en Argentina ya que, por un lado, expande el área de reproducción de la especie en nuestro país. Y a su vez, apoya la hipótesis que sugiere que el Lechuzón Orejudo muestra flexibilidad en la época de nidificación dado que nuestras observaciones ocurrieron durante una época del año poco reportada hasta el momento.

Knowledge Management And Quality Management - Interactive Approach
Authors: Souza Leandro Chiarello de , Santos Adelcio Machado dos
Published: February 2023

The services, by their inherent characteristics, cannot present quality only if management knowledge is not attached to them. It is shown, based on Nonaka and Takeuchi's work "Creation and Knowledge in the company", that this happens in organizations aiming at efficiency and entrepreneurism. One can say that the creation of organizational knowledge consists in the capacity a company has to create a piece of new knowledge and spread it in the organization as a whole, besides incorporating it into its products, services, and systems. While this happens, one can notice that the perspective of learning and growth needs to be focused on people and on the infrastructure of human resources, which are extremely needful for the success of the organization. The investments to be performed in this área can be considered another critical factor for the survival and development of the organizations in a long term. However, this development needs to be sustained by an analysis and a constant intervention in the performance of the internal processes, being that these are considered the key processes of the business. The improvement of these internal processes in the present constitutes the key indicator of financial success in the future.
National policy of integral care for women's health in Brazil: from genesis to contemporary challenges
Authors: Risaffi Carleide Damasceno , Cruz Lara Abreu
Published: February 2023

Following the demands initiated by the Health Reform Movement, the demands for policies that fully met women's health demands began to be increasingly present in the spaces of social movements, especially in the national and international feminist organization. In this sense, in 1986, the Ministry of Health created the Program for Integral Assistance to Women's Health (PAISM) in order to provide prevention and recovery of women's health at all stages of their lives. In 2004, the Program became the National Policy for Integral Attention to Women's Health (PNAISM), proposing a set of guidelines aimed at humanization and quality in women's care. In this sense, through a bibliographic and documentary study, this article presents an analysis of the trajectory of pnaism constitution, also seeking to understand the possibilities and challenges put to its execution. It is perceived that the PNAISM, as a strategy of response of the State to the female demands constituted socially and historically, brings in its scope clear objectives about its purpose of intervention, but that do not materialize in its entirety because they are under the condition of unsatisfactory investments by that same State, as well as other social policies

Published: February 2023

In this text, we present the results of a research on the professional qualification of the deaf in the world of work in Rio Grande do Norte, which supported the elaboration of the master's thesis entitled: The professional qualification of the deaf in the labor market: A Libras (L1) as a facilitating instrument in the teaching-learning process. We aimed to indicate the main difficulties of the interpreters of pounds in the interpretations in formations offered to the deaf. Five groups of subjects participated in the macro investigation: (G1), deaf with higher education, who are working in public and/or private offices. (G2), deaf people who have only Basic Education and who are working in public and/or private offices. (G3), deaf people with higher education, who are not inserted in the formal labour market. (G4), listeners (employers and co-workers) who have some kind of relationship with deaf employees. (G5), translators and interpreters of Libras, who work in the process of interpretation of the formations. In this article we will present the results only of group 5. To perform this work, we adopted descriptive explanatory research, with a quantitative focus. In data collection, we used closed questionnaires directed to each group of participants, whose answers were analyzed through the SPSS v.23 program. Based on the results of the research, we can conclude that there are some difficulties in performing the interpretive act, such as not havingaccess to the content that will be interpreted in advance and not having anyone to reserve.
Identification Of Microorganisms Present In An Antineoplastic Manipulation Environment In A Tertiary Hospital In Brasília
Authors: Silva Anna Beatriz Gomes da , Machado Leandro Pereira Bias , Soares Marcone de Sousa , Silva Mônica Valero da , Queiroz Fabiano José
Published: February 2023

There is a growing concern about good practices for compounding sterile drugs in hospitals, due to the compounding room itself and the specific public that will use these products. The identification of the cleanroom microbiota in the Antineoplastics Compounding Unit (ACU) of a tertiary hospital in Brasília, aimed to assess the quality of the service executed and suggest corrections if necessary. The methodology used was based on the National Health Surveillance Agency resolutions: n° 67/2007 and n° 220/2004, as well as the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), considering two types of monitoring: environmental and operational. Environmental monitoring was performed with the identification of microorganisms in the air and surfaces, under operating conditions and at rest, using Petri dishes with nutrient agar; and operational monitoring was carried out based on the microbiological assessment of the pharmacist’s glove, which was authorized by the Human Ethics Committee of the University of Brasília. In both situations analysed - in process and at rest there was a microbial count of 6.09 and 1.58 colony forming units (CFU), respectively. As a result, it was found that the greater the number of people moving within the cleanroom and the number of drugs compounded during the process, the more difficult it is to maintain the conditions required by law. The identified microorganisms were common in the sterile compounding area, due to the presence of the pharmacist and the structural conditions of the cleanroom, hence the constant need for personnel training and adaptation of the structural conditions of the environment to better meet the requirements of legislation.

Published: February 2023

The Brand experience is a marketing strategy, arising from interactions between the customer and the brand that generate experiences, which directly influence their purchase decision. The brand, in its entirety, needs to be focused on its consumers to provide meaningful experiences. Therefore, it is essential to understand consumer behavior, which undergoes constant transitions that end up making it more and more meticulous. As a result, the present study is based on bibliographical research, followed by a case study with a quantitative approach, which aimed to identify the experiences that influence the purchasing decision of the conceptual consumer. To obtain the data, questionnaires were applied using the theory of simple random sampling in two different periods, 2019 and 2020. The results claim that the experiences that positively influence the purchase decision are focused on traditional values such as quality and honesty, in addition to a culture focused on satisfying customer needs.

Published: February 2023

The purpose of agricultural development is to eradicate hunger and poverty through sustainable production to ensure sustainable consumption in the context of ensuring food self-sufficiency. The study aims to characterize production systems and agricultural productivity factors at the research site. This study was carried out in the municipalities of Aileu, Ainaro, and Covalima and lasted 3 months, from August to October 2021. The descriptive survey method was used, and the intentional sampling method was used to determine the research sites based on the second data of the 2019 Agricultural Census. To determine the sample size, the Slovin method was used and the respondents were obtained using the simple random method. The variables observed, namely the age, experience, and degree of education of respondents, such as production support factors and the main factors of agricultural productivity, include the sales regime of agricultural products. The results revealed that the mean age of the respondents was between 42.12 and 48.06 years, with an experience of 15.65 to 24.18 years as a producer. The degree of education varies between the three municipalities, and the majority of respondents still with literacy occur in the municipality of Covalima. The minimum total agricultural areas are 0.20 ha and the maximum 11 ha with the average of operational areas between 0.75 and 1.98 ha, and abandoned areas between 0.81 and 1.97 ha per respondent. The highest production of rice and corn occurs in the municipality of Covalima, however, the municipality of Aileu and Ainaro showed lower production. About 65 to 85% of producers finance their productive activities on their own and the workforce is about 3 to 6 people per family. The frequency of agricultural productivity varies between the three municipalities, in the municipality of Covalima the production occurs twice of cultivation per year and in the municipalities of Aileu and Ainaro occurs once a year. The most used production systems are conventional systems (without the use of technologies) in the production of rice and corn and extensive systems in livestock. The results also showed that parents have less interest in encouraging young people to continue farming in the future. The regime for the sale of agricultural products varies depending on market access and the buyer arriving at the place of production.

The main case series of orthopedic problems in veterinary clinics of small animals are fractured by traumatic events (SHIJU et al., 2010). The fact that fractures occur more in young animals is probably related to bone fragility characteristics of the age group because they are in the growth phase. In addition, young dogs cannot avoid trauma (VIDANE et al., 2014). Every patient who needs to undergo a surgical procedure is highly indispensable to perform a preoperative evaluation with anamnesis, physical examination, and complementary before being submitted to anesthesia. This evaluation reduces the risk of complications during the surgical procedure and also decreases the rate of post-surgical deaths (SCHWARTZMAN et al., 2011). The classification according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA, 2014) of patients who will undergo surgical procedures has become an important tool to ensure safety (SCHWARTZMAN et al., 2011). Thus, this classification should be included in the patient's clinical form, thus allowing for to minimize of possible complications during the surgical and anesthetic procedure, providing more efficiently the real prognosis of the patient (LUZ et al., 2012).

Authors: Sousa Atair Silva de , Hora Paola Matos da , Roberto Wanderley dos Santos
Published: February 2023

The university reforms that occurred in Brazil, before the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988, did not mitigate the historical debt that the country accumulated, over the decades, with the population of students from disadvantaged classes, about access and permanence in higher education. The inclusion policies at this level of education, adopted in the last decade of the 20th century and the first two decades of the 21st century, have given rise to a policy of mitigating this debt. In this sense, it would be appropriate to evaluate the inclusion of these groups of students who were once excluded from higher education, from the perspective of law, citizenship, and social inclusion. The main objective of the research was to conduct studies on educational policies aimed at reserves of higher education, in the context of Human Rights (HD), citizenship, and no social inclusion. The methodology used in this research has a dual approach that covers both qualitative and quantitative analysis. In addition to these factors, a collection of government documentation, articles, books, theses, and dissertations, among others, was also elaborated. Results and diverse evidence point to an advance in the inclusion and university education of benefits students from job reservations in Brazil. This fact marks progress in the struggle for Human Rights (HD), in the exercise of Citizenship, and the social inclusion of higher education in the country.

Published: February 2023

One of the ways of preserving tomato fruits is the use of packages that have the function of controlling or minimizing degradation processes, enabling fruits to maintain quality characteristics even for consumers. This work aimed to evaluate the influence of active packaging (incorporated from ethylene absorbers) on the preservation of quality attributes, bioactive compound contents, and antioxidant activity of grape tomatoes during storage. The experimental design was completely randomized involving 2 treatments (active packaging and PET packaging), 5 storage times (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 days), and 4 replications. The following were evaluated: pH, total titratable acidity, total soluble solids, Ratio, firmness, instrumental color, loss of fresh mass, lycopene, total phenolic composites, vitamin C, and antioxidant activity. The lycopene content of fruits packed in active packaging increased (29.8 to 48.7 μg.100 g-1 in 20 days of storage and decreased in the fruits packed in PET packages during this same period. There was the degradation of vitamin C, whose average contents of the stored fruits, regardless of the packaging ranged from 21.4 to 15.9 mg.100 g -1. The definition of the best packaging used depends on the storage period submitted. For the conservation of mass and lycopene content for 20 days at 16 ºC ± 2 the active packaging showed the best result.

Published: February 2023

Data application in organizations has shifted its focus to meeting the legal requirements of employment. This shift in data use gradually altered the dynamics of the Human Resource Management (HRM) role, and organizations now expect high-quality analysis from HR professionals.Various studies suggested that the use of Human Resource Analytics (HRA) would assist HR professionals in developing diverse viewpoints on their contribution to the financial targets of organizations through the creation of suitable measurements.  Still, not many researchers have explored the role of HRA in increasing the business outcomes of Indian organizations. In this study, we analysed the role of HRA competencies in determining business outcomes as well as examined the gap existing in the expected and existing competencies of HR analysts in Indian organizations.Our in-depth literature review prepared a conceptual framework based on Capability Motivation and Opportunity (CMO) model. A quantitative methodology was adopted to gather the data as it integrates the components of HRA competency and measures their impact on business outcomes. A structured questionnaire was designed and distributed to 230 HR professionals, including HRA users as well as HR managers who work in different organizations in the city of Bengaluru. The data were analysed using various statistical tools and SPSS software. Overall, our study provides a significant depiction of the role of HRA in determining business outcomes, as well as the gap between the competencies demonstrated by HR analysts and the competency levels expected of them

Published: February 2023

The pandemic has had a negative impact in the form of learning loss. Learning loss during a pandemic was not only experienced by students but also by teachers. Some teachers have difficulty providing an objective assessment, especially psychomotor aspects. This quantitative descriptive research aims to determine teachers' constraints and solutions when assessing student performance. This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires in the form of Google Forms and distributing them to several teachers on Java and outside Java. Fifty-two teachers are willing to fill out the questionnaire completely. Based on the data processing results, it was found that one of the obstacles faced by teachers when giving assessments was the unfriendly internet network, the poor quality of videos or images sent by students, and confusion about who was doing the work (self-made or assisted by others). Some teachers think about and do ways to handle it. At the same time, some others allow the existence of competence that is not achieved.
Analysis of The Russia-Ukraine War Based on Giulio Douhet's Airpower Theory and as The Best Practice For Indonesia's Air Force
Authors: Kartomo Agus , Legionosuko Tri , Risman Helda
Published: February 2023

The Russia-Ukraine war is a conventional war that happened in the modern era. The war shows that airpower is dominant in attacking strategic targets. Hight precision missiles use to avoid civilian casualties even though they still happen. From the perspective of airpower, it is exciting to analyze according to Giulio Douhet's theory. The result and discussions from the Russo-Ukrainian war from an air power perspective show that Douhet's theory is still relevant, but some adjustments are needed. Nowadays, attacking before declaring war breaks the war law. Making civilian casualties is against a human right. Another adjustment is due to technological advances in air power, so air power is a strategic target at the beginning of the war. This paper uses a descriptive-analytical method by analyzing data obtained from open sources.

Authors:   The Korean Society for Veterinary Nursing, Park Ju-Hyeong , Kim Joo-Rim , Jo In-Gyeng , Kim Byeong-Soo
Published: February 2023

In this study, an experiment was conducted to measure the tick repellent efficacy through the synergy effect according to the type and ratio of blending essential oil. The subjects were adults and nymphs of the Haemaphysalis longicornis, and the repellent efficacy was measured using the filter paper bioassay method. Based on the past research, citronella oil, geranium oil, vetiver oil, and neem oil were selected as a single treatment experiment since their repellent efficacy was confirmed. The first experiment revealed that the repellent efficacy of citronella oil and geranium oil were high. Afterwards, in order to investigate the synergy effect on tick repellent efficacy, experimental group was consisted of neem seed oil (carrier oil) that was blended with citronella and geranium oil, at a ratio of 1:1, 2:1, and 17:3 (15%). Also, negative control group was composed of ethanol that was blended with citronella and geranium oil at the same ratio of experimental group. As a result, the blending of citronella and neem seeds showed higher repellent efficacy in all blending ratios than the blending of geranium and neem seeds. In adult ticks, blending ratio of citronella and neem seeds was 1:1 and 17:3, showed the most significant difference of repellent efficacy. In nymph ticks, when the blending ratio of citronella and neem seed was 1:1 and 17:3, the repellent efficacy was the same as that of the positive control commercial repellent. In conclusion, it was confirmed that both nymph and adults ticks showed higher repellent efficacy when blended than single treatment. In this study, the synergy effect of the blending of citronella and neem seeds on the tick repellent effect has a high potential to replace synthetic repellents.

Published: February 2023

Fuel cell is a clean, safe, eco-friendly source of energy as an alternative to already existing energy resources like incineration of fossil fuel. Efficiency of fuel cell is high when platinum is used as an electrode material for both anode and cathode. However, it is very expensive metal. Bimetallic Iron Ferrite (BMIF) has shown better EOR activity considering onset potential, mass activity when compared with noble metal catalyst but it is economical as compared to Pt. XRD reveals the conformation of BMIF and its purity. FTIR before and after electrochemical analysis has confirmed the retainment of its structure.  However, it hasn’t shown good activity for MOR in any parameter i-e Tafel slope value, mass activity and onset potential comparatively.

Published: February 2023

Point-of-care (POC) testing is an innovative and revolutionary in vitro diagnostic (IVD) technology that enables the real-time conduct of pathology testing during a patient consultation, facilitating immediate clinical action. When conducted under a quality-assured framework, POC testing is an essential diagnostic tool, and is now well embedded, in primary health care settings in rural communities around the world. POC testing helps bridge the gap in health equity access that exists in geographically isolated rural communities and empowers patients to invest in understanding and improving their own health literacy. Using POC testing networks for chronic, acute and infectious diseases that are currently operating in rural and remote Australia, this chapter explores the operational, clinical and economic benefits that POC testing can deliver, and the lessons learned that have contributed to continuously improved quality of POC testing service delivery. Investment in POC testing and infrastructure by Australian governments, both federal and state, has reaped significant rewards for patients in rural communities. Additionally, translational research in this field has provided insight into how POC testing can be successfully scaled up for broad application in low- and middle-income countries.
Reduction of Kernel Mechanism Processing Time in Multimedia Authoring Tool
Authors: Chandra Wijaya Marvin
Published: February 2023

Multimedia authoring tools is a tool for designing multimedia documents based on multimedia presentation scenarios designed by the user. Visual media (images, video, animation, text, etc.) and non-visual media (sound, music, etc.) are combined into a multimedia document. A multimedia programming language represents multimedia documents. The core process in multimedia authoring tools is called the kernel mechanism, which consists of two mandatory processes: modeling and verification. Verification carried out consists of time-computation and spatiotemporal verification. The time needed for the verification process on a multimedia authoring tool is highly dependent on the object or media. The relationship between processing time and the amount of media is exponential, so if a lot of media is processed, it will take a very long time. This is the main obstacle of a multimedia authoring tool at this time. The incrementality algorithm can be applied to the verification process in order to reduce processing time to verify multimedia documents. Based on the experimental results, the processing time can be reduced by up to 75%.

In this study, a machine learning method is proposed to predict the weld spatter generation rate, regardless of the type of short-circuit waveform. Short-circuit waveform data are collected at a high sampling rate of 10?20 kHz, and then, compressed using a new preprocessing method to effectively process the data at a high sampling rate. To predict the spatter generation rate, the welding waveform is converted into an image using the proposed data preprocessing method, and the converted data are fed into the convolutional neural network (CNN). A parametric study on data augmentation and data resolution is conducted concurrently to enhance the prediction accuracy with limited amount of data.

Weld shape and size generally determine the quality of gas metal arc welding. Auto parts manufacturers prescribe the size and shape of the weld because they can indicate the mechanical properties of the weld. It is impossible to evaluate the quality of all welds through destruction inspection. Therefore, research on welding quality inspection using laser vision sensors as a non-destructive inspection method is underway. Although the external profile of the weld can be measured using a laser vision sensor, studies to predict the weld strength are insufficient. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the welding strength of the lap-fillet weld of an aluminum alloy. Input date for weld size was obtained in two ways. In the first method, a bead profile was acquired using a laser vision sensor, whereas the size of the weld was obtained through the acquired bead profile. In the second method, the size of the weld was obtained directly from cross-section analysis. The output data on the strength of the weld was obtained through a tensile shear test. Two models for predicting the tensile shear strength based on ANN were developed. By predicting the tensile strength of both models, the average error rate was within 10%, but the prediction accuracy using the laser vision sensor was better than that of the cross-sectional method.
Essentiality of knowing transversal competencies: towards engineering education sustainability and industry readiness of engineering students
Authors: Sangwan Devika , Venugopal Abhijith
Published: February 2023

Engineering education is to prepare engineers for real-world challenges and seek novel solutions to cater to society's different needs. There is an increase in the global demand for industry-ready engineers. Engineering education sustainability and industry readiness are mutually inclusive, where the former is the combination of different skills and transversal competencies, while the latter is all about their applicability. Transversal competencies, transferable across disciplines, chisel engineering students to become versatile and practical on the shop floor. Sustainability in engineering education is usually discussed only from the ecological/environmental viewpoints. This paper tries to find out the relevance of transversal competencies from the perspectives of engineering students at three levels: the most recurring competencies, the competencies they lack, and the ones that need improvement. Recurring and essential transversal competencies such as problem-solving, creativity and innovation, communication, lifelong learning etc., were identified from different policy frameworks of accreditation agencies, industry reports, organizational reports, and academia. Primary data was collected from final-year engineering students for this exploratory research through semi-structured interviews. These transversal competencies, latent throughout the formative years, have a definite role in the engineer's industry readiness, making engineering education sustainable. The need for industry readiness of the engineering students indicates the sustainability of engineering education, which can bridge the gap between the industry and academia. The paper reveals opportunities for further expansion of the competency frameworks in the policymaking and accreditation procedures.

Sextus on Place
Authors: Tigani Anna ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

In Sextus’ discussion of ‘place’ we find an attempt to insulate the philosophical questions about the conception of place and the ordinary answers to questions about where certain things are from one another. Common moves in dialectical practice against begging the question are used to delimitate the two contexts. Contrary to Myles Burnyeat’s interpretation, I argue, through close reading of the relevant texts, that there is no inconsistency in Sextus’ attempt.
Beyond Unified Multiplicity
Authors: Gál Ota ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

This article traces the limits of the understanding of beauty as unified multiplicity in Plotinus’ Enneads vi 2 and vi 6. These treatises can be read as insisting on the significance of multiplicity for beauty and as implying a distinction between the illuminated and the unilluminated beauty of Intellect. In treatise vi 7, this distinction is made explicit and a deeper understanding of beauty as the manifestation of the Good in Intellect is introduced.
Philoponus’ Potentially Ensouled Bodies
Authors: Mittelmann Jorge ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

In commenting on Aristotle’s κοινότατος λόγος of the soul – which portrays it as ‘the first actuality of a natural body having life in potentiality’– Philoponus suggests that seeds and embryos are not potentially alive bodies, despite ‘having become ready to receive life from the soul’ (209.17). To the extent that something’s suitability to be ensouled turns it eo ipso into a potentially alive thing, Philoponus’ remark may betray a contradiction, that can be handled by tinkering with the scope of a closely attached adverb. This paper argues that no such intervention is required, however, and that apparent inconsistencies vanish as soon as Neoplatonic embryology and Philoponus’ lexical background are given their due.
Can Flogging Make Us Less Ignorant?
Authors: Möbus Freya ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

In the Gorgias, Socrates claims that painful bodily punishment like flogging can improve certain wrongdoers. I argue that we can take Socrates’ endorsement seriously, even on the standard interpretation of Socratic motivational intellectualism, according to which there are no non-rational desires. I propose that flogging can epistemically improve certain wrongdoers by communicating that wrongdoing is bad for oneself. In certain cases, this belief cannot be communicated effectively through philosophical dialogue.
Genos and Eidos in Plato
Authors: Muniz Fernando , Rudebusch George ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

English translates ‘genos’ as kind and ‘eidos’ as form, which differ in meaning as much as ‘herd’ and ‘brand’ do. But there are hard passages where ‘genos’ and ‘eidos’ have appeared to be synonyms, usually given the new meaning class. We show that, although ‘genos’ and ‘eidos’ are never synonyms and continue to mean kind and form, the word ‘eidos’ can be used figuratively, as a metonym, for a genos.
A Dialogue on Leadership Ethics
Authors: Preti Alan , Guthrie Clifton ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2023

Despite the popularity of leadership studies programs at universities, critics have questioned their purpose, costs, and outcomes. In the face of these questions, two ethics faculty who have taught in such programs explore more specifically the purpose of leadership ethics education within higher education. The “Proponent” speaks on behalf of these programs and the “Skeptic,” responds, well, skeptically. Originally an oral presentation, the dialogue engages in a fair share of rhetoric and comedy in trading points of view. It concludes with a set of questions that might be used by others engaged in such work.

The paper reflects the main results of the scientific work of IRN No. 00007/GF-20 "Development of a new scientific and technical solution for the creation of a mobile device (ramp) for loading and unloading military equipment from a railway platform in unequipped places", provides design solutions, requirements for mobile devices, and provides justification for the effectiveness of this method when solving logistics tasks for the delivery of military and rescue units. The issues of delivering forces and means by rail to eliminate the consequences of largescale emergencies to regions at risk of earthquakes are considered. The solution of logistics tasks for the delivery of rescue units is proposed by developing a mobile ramp that allows speeding up the loading and unloading of equipment on railway platforms in places not equipped with stationary overpasses.
