A Non-Invasive Technique for Long-Term Monitoring of Gastroesophageal Reflux—A Pilot Study
Authors: Laracca Marco , Miele Gianfranco , Podestà Luca , Sangiovanni Silvia
Published: November 2023

Many people suffer from gastric or gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) due to a malfunction of the cardia, the valve between the esophagus and the stomach. GERD is a syndrome caused by the ascent of gastric juices and bile from the stomach. This article proposes a non-invasive impedance measurement method and demonstrates the correlation between GERD and impedance variation between appropriately chosen points on the patient’s chest. This method is presented as an alternative to the most widely accepted diagnostic techniques for reflux, such as pH-metry, pH-impedance measurement, and esophageal manometry, which are invasive because they use a probe that is inserted through a nostril and reaches down to the esophagus.
Dual-Pulse Repeated Frequency Waveform Design of Time-Division Integrated Sensing and Communication Based on a 5G New Radio Communication System
Authors: Chu Ping , Yang Zhaocheng , Zheng Jian
Published: November 2023

With the development of 5G communication systems, it is a hot topic to embed integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) based on the existing 5G base station by sharing the hardware and the same frequency spectrum. In this paper, we propose a dual pulse repeated frequency (dual-PRF) waveform design of time-division ISAC (TD-ISAC) based on a 5G new radio (NR) communication system using downlink communication slots. We choose time-division mode to design waveform to avoid the interference between sensing and communication. Embedding sensing functions in a 5G NR system, we design a dual-PRF sensing slot to satisfy the constraints of common channel and uplink communication. Considering two uplink modes, namely flexible and fixed, we design two dual-PRF waveforms and illustrate the sensing theory performance of the designed waveform by the ambiguity function. Then, we exploit the designed waveform to the vehicle parameter estimation. To verify that the designed waveform has good adaptability to different signal processing methods, we realize the parameter estimation by two types of methods: the discrete Fourier transformation-based method and the compressed sensing-based method. At last, we verify the effectiveness of the designed waveform system by simulation experiments and real traffic scenarios.

Published: November 2023

This article presents an analytical solution for calculating the flow rate in water injection wells based on the established thermal profile along the tubing. The intent is to minimize the intrinsic systematic error of classic quasi-static methodologies, which assume that all thermal transience on well completion has passed. When these techniques are applied during the initial hours of injection well operation, it can result in errors higher than 20%. To solve this limitation, the first law of thermodynamics was used to define a mathematical model and a thermal profile was established in the injection fluid, captured by using distributed temperature systems (DTSs) installed inside the tubing. The geothermal profile was also established naturally by a thermal source in the earth to determine the thermal gradient. A computational simulation of the injection well was developed to validate the mathematical solution. The simulation intended to generate the fluid’s thermal profile, for which data were not available for the desired time period. As a result, at the cost of greater complexity, the systematic error dropped to values below 1% in the first two hours of well operation, as seen throughout this document. The code was developed in Phyton, version 1.7.0., from Anaconda Navigator.
Theoretical Comparison of Different Envelope Elimination and Restoration Transmitter PWM Modulator Configurations to Expand the Possible Antenna Mismatch
Authors: Nguyen Dang Canh , Gromorushkin Victor N. , Varlamov Oleg
Published: November 2023

The main characteristics of high-efficiency switching-mode solid-state power amplifiers with envelope elimination and restoration (EER) methods depend on all their elements. In this article, we study the influence of the types and parameters of the envelope path low-pass filters (LPFs) on the EER transmitter out-of-band emissions. This article presents for the first time an analysis of EER transmitter operation where the output impedance of the PWM modulator is not equal to zero, as usual (with a one-sided loaded LPF), but is matched with the low-pass filter and the load (with a double-sided loaded LPF). Theoretical comparisons of EER transmitters’ out-of-band emissions were carried out with four envelope path LPF configurations (one-sided and double-sided loaded LPFs with a smooth and sharp transition, respectively), for both the nominal load (broadband antenna) and resonant antennas with a limited bandwidth. The analysis showed that for the case of transmitter operation on a resonant antenna with a limited bandwidth, the preferable option was the use of a sixth-order double-sided loaded LPF with a smooth transition. The use of the proposed modulator configuration allowed the transmitter to operate on an antenna with VSWR = 1.07 at the edges of the transmitted signal band with a minimum LPF bandwidth equal to 5.8 bands of the amplified signal. This could significantly expand its application capabilities and allow one to reduce the PWM clock frequency and increase efficiency.

Published: November 2023

The present study tests the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of the novel smartphone application—Time2Feel—to monitor family members’ emotional experiences, at the experiential and physiological level, and their context. To our knowledge, Time2Feel is the first of its kind, having the capability to monitor multiple members’ emotional experiences simultaneously and survey users’ emotional experiences when experiencing an increase in physiological arousal. In this study, a total of 44 parents and children used Time2Feel along with the Empatica E4 wrist-wearable device for 10 days. Engagement rates were within the acceptable range and consistent with previous work using experience sampling methods. Perceived ease of use and satisfaction fell mostly in the moderate range, with users reporting challenges with connectivity. We further discuss how addressing connectivity would increase acceptability. Finally, Time2Feel was successful at identifying physiological deviations in electrodermal activity for parents and children alike, and even though responses to those deviation-generated surveys were largely consistent with random survey responses, some differences were noted for mothers and fathers. We discuss the implications of using Time2Feel for understanding families’ emotional and stressful experiences day-to-day.
Seed Characterization and Evaluation of Pre-Germinative Barriers in the Genus Alstroemeria (Alstroemeriaceae)
Authors: Aros Danilo , Barraza Paulina , Peña-Neira Álvaro , Mitsi Christina , Pertuzé Ricardo
Published: November 2023

The genus Alstroemeria originates from South America, and Chile is one of the countries showing the highest number of taxa (49), of which 40 are endemic. However, anthropogenic and environmental factors are affecting the survival of these species; therefore, the conservation of their genetic variability is of great importance, and can be achieved through seed propagation. Seeds of this genus normally show dormancy, which prevents their germination under favorable conditions. The objective of this work was to understand the pre-germinative barriers to develop a seed propagation protocol for native alstroemerias and to determine the best method to break their dormancy. Seeds from 10 Alstroemeria species native to Chile were collected from the Coquimbo Region to Maule Region, and 5 pre-germination treatments combining scarification and stratification methods were evaluated. Moreover, a morphological and biochemical evaluation of the seeds was performed. The results showed a positive and significant effect on the percentage of emergence using seed soaking in water and cold stratification at 13 °C, obtaining the best results in A. pelegrina and A. angustifolia subsp. angustifolia (98.33% and 91.67%, respectively) after 30 days. The morphological characterization of seeds showed a wide range of size (diameter), from 2.18 mm (A. pulchra subsp. pulchra) up to 3.43 mm (A. pelegrina), and different shapes (pseudospherical and angular) and textures (rough and smooth). The highest phenol and tannin concentrations were observed in A. hookeri subsp. maculata with values of 4.71 and 30.95 mg g−1 of seeds, respectively. A bigger size of the seed and a higher concentration of phenols could be related to a higher % of emergence of alstroemeria seeds.
Human Rights-Based Intersex Healthcare: Using Hospital Data to Quantify Genital and Reproductive Surgery on Children in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Roen Katrina , Breen Claire , Yee Ashe
Published: November 2023

Medical intervention in the context of variations in sex characteristics (intersex variations) has been addressed by many academic disciplines, including medical research, human rights law, and psychosocial research, but few studies bring these diverse disciplines into substantive dialogue. Recent years have seen an increase in human rights statements about the indefensibility of some surgical interventions carried out on children with variations in sex characteristics. This has prompted attempts in some jurisdictions to move towards human rights-based healthcare for people with intersex variations. Such a move will require better dialogue across legal and health-related disciplines, as well as a clearer overview of which and how many surgical interventions are at issue. The present paper initiates the dialogue across disciplines and quantifies surgical interventions carried out on the sexual and reproductive organs of minors in Aotearoa New Zealand, over a five-year period. We suggest that, for the purpose of monitoring any shift towards human rights-based healthcare, national healthcare data will need to more clearly identify diagnoses and interventions relating to minors with variations in sex characteristics.
Artificial Intelligence and Street Space Optimization in Green Cities: New Evidence from China
Authors: Liu Yuwei , Qin Shan , Li Jiamin , Jin Ting
Published: November 2023

In the context of the green economy and sustainable urban development, the rapid expansion of urban construction has given rise to pressing public health concerns, notably environmental pollution and the increased prevalence of chronic illnesses linked to swift urbanization. These urban health issues are escalating, prompting significant attention to the concept of creating “healthy cities”. Meanwhile, the planning and design of urban street space have a far-reaching impact on urban residents’ quality of life and health. Urban planners are facing challenges and need to follow the principle of a green economy while meeting the needs of residents for public activities and adapting to motor vehicle traffic. This study explores the optimization of urban street space to promote the harmonious coexistence between people and cars. This study actively explores the relationship between health, urban environment, and social background, focusing on promoting the harmonious coexistence between people and vehicles, especially the optimization goal of sharing urban streets. The study’s main goal is to design a road that can meet the needs of citizens’ public activities and accommodate motor vehicles, which conforms to the principle of a green economy. To achieve this, geographic information system (GIS) technology and a genetic algorithm (GA) are employed to optimize shared urban street spaces. Among them, GIS tools are used for spatial simulation to evaluate the effect of different shared street space configurations. The urban shared street space is gradually optimized through GA’s selection, crossover, and mutation operations. Simulation experiments are conducted to determine the relationship between street space utilization and the elements of a healthy city, ultimately striving to identify the optimal design parameters for shared street spaces. The research results reveal that the urban street space is optimized from the three aspects of shared allocation of facilities resources, replacement of land use functions, and mixed layout of facilities, and the utilization rate of urban streets is finally ensured to reach 53.43%, fully assuming the essential functions of urban streets. This innovative approach bridges the gap between urban development and public health, offering valuable insights for sustainable urban space planning and enhanced living environments within the framework of the green economy.
Consumer Perception of Food Product Packaging Materials Sustainability versus Life Cycle Assessment Results: The Case of Processed Tomatoes—A Quantitative Study in Germany
Authors: Bock Marisa , Meyerding Stephan G. H.
Published: November 2023

Due to increasing environmental awareness, especially among the young German population, people are increasingly striving to buy food in the most environmentally friendly way. In this context, packaging is becoming the focus of sustainability assessment, not because of its protection against food waste but because of the increasing amount of packaging rubbish. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the packaging material on the environmentally friendly purchase decisions of consumers in Generations Y and Z and whether they can correctly assess the environmental impact of the different materials. For this purpose, an online choice experiment was conducted with a representative sample of 250 German consumers. The respondents could choose between products with different characteristics, such as price, packaging material, label, and origin. The results show that origin is the most important factor, followed by packaging material. With the help of a latent class analysis, the respondents were divided into three segments, which differ in whether origin or material is more important in the sustainability assessment of a product. Furthermore, a lack of knowledge about the environmental impact of specific product attributes among the respondents is evidenced, and a comparison with scientific data from product lifecycle assessments shows that they have difficulties correctly assessing the environmental impact of packaging material.
Towards Robust Obstacle Avoidance for the Visually Impaired Person Using Stereo Cameras
Authors: Asiedu Asante Bismark Kweku , Imamura Hiroki
Published: November 2023

We propose a novel obstacle avoidance strategy implemented in a wearable assistive device, which serves as an electronic travel aid (ETA), designed to enhance the safety of visually impaired persons (VIPs) during navigation to their desired destinations. This method is grounded in the assumption that objects in close proximity and within a short distance from VIPs pose potential obstacles and hazards. Furthermore, objects that are farther away appear smaller in the camera’s field of view. To adapt this method for accurate obstacle selection, we employ an adaptable grid generated based on the apparent size of objects. These objects are detected using a custom lightweight YOLOv5 model. The grid helps select and prioritize the most immediate and dangerous obstacle within the user’s proximity. We also incorporate an audio feedback mechanism with an innovative neural perception system to alert the user. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed system can detect obstacles within a range of 20 m and effectively prioritize obstacles within 2 m of the user. The system achieves an accuracy rate of 95% for both obstacle detection and prioritization of critical obstacles. Moreover, the ETA device provides real-time alerts, with a response time of just 5 s, preventing collisions with nearby objects.
Hepatic Transcriptome Comparative In Silico Analysis Reveals Similar Pathways and Targets Altered by Legacy and Alternative Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Mice

Published: November 2023

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of fluorinated carbon chains that include legacy PFAS, such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), and perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS). These compounds induce adverse health effects, including hepatotoxicity. Potential alternatives to the legacy PFAS (HFPO-DA (GenX), HFPO4, HFPO-TA, F-53B, 6:2 FTSA, and 6:2 FTCA), as well as a byproduct of PFAS manufacturing (Nafion BP2), are increasingly being found in the environment. The potential hazards of these new alternatives are less well known. To better understand the diversity of molecular targets of the PFAS, we performed a comparative toxicogenomics analysis of the gene expression changes in the livers of mice exposed to these PFAS, and compared these to five activators of PPARα, a common target of many PFAS. Using hierarchical clustering, pathway analysis, and predictive biomarkers, we found that most of the alternative PFAS modulate molecular targets that overlap with legacy PFAS. Only three of the 11 PFAS tested did not appreciably activate PPARα (Nafion BP2, 6:2 FTSA, and 6:2 FTCA). Predictive biomarkers showed that most PFAS (PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, HFPO-TA, F-53B, HFPO4, Nafion BP2) activated CAR. PFNA, PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, HFPO4, HFPO-TA, F-53B, Nafion BP2, and 6:2 FTSA suppressed STAT5b, activated NRF2, and activated SREBP. There was no apparent relationship between the length of the carbon chain, type of head group, or number of ether linkages and the transcriptomic changes. This work highlights the similarities in molecular targets between the legacy and alternative PFAS.

Published: November 2023

Asthma and other respiratory diseases, which are of great concern in public health, are paid less attention in areas that are less economically developed. This research aimed to study the prevalence of critical respiratory diseases of children living in West China and figure out the potential influencing factors. A total of 575 children under the age of 14 were recruited from Xinjiang, China, to participate in the study in 2022. Information on activity patterns, socioeconomic and parental factors, and household and surrounding environment situations was obtained using a questionnaire survey. Logistic regression models were applied to estimate the odds ratios of respiratory disease prevalence in relation to behavior patterns, household, parental and environmental factors, respectively. The prevalence of ever doctor-diagnosed asthma, doctor-diagnosed bronchitis and current bronchitis were 4.7%, 19.0% and 14.4%, respectively. The prevalence of doctor-diagnosed pneumonia was 8.2%, which was two times higher in urban than rural areas. Longer annual heating duration was significantly associated with higher risks in children’s asthma and bronchitis, with an odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 3.363 (95% CI: 1.215–9.298) and 1.267 (95% CI: 1.002–1.601), respectively. Opening the window longer in autumn would lead to higher risks of bronchitis, with ORs of 1.165 and 1.133, respectively, for doctor-diagnosed bronchitis and current bronchitis. Residential air pollution and having a residence close to waste incineration plant or garbage station were, respectively, significantly associated with higher risks of doctor-diagnosed bronchitis and asthma. Parental disease history was associated with a higher prevalence of children’s asthma and respiratory diseases, whereas breastfeeding and doing physical exercise were, respectively, significantly associated with a lower risk of asthma. A high prevalence of respiratory diseases in children in West China may be partly attributed to longer annual heating time, opening windows longer in autumn, surrounding environmental pollution, as well as parental disease history, whereas promoting physical activity and breastfeeding could be an effective measure to reduce the risk of childhood asthma in West China.

The COVID-19 pandemic posed substantial challenges to healthcare systems globally and severely disrupted essential health services, including routine immunization programs. In India, these disruptions were exacerbated due to the sudden emergence of the pandemic and lockdown measures, leading to mass migrations and a shortage of healthcare workers. Caregivers’ concerns about routine immunization sessions further compounded the problem, resulting in a sharp increase in zero-dose children. This review paper examines India’s strategies for conducting one of the world’s largest COVID-19 vaccination programs while effectively restoring and perpetuating its Universal Immunization Program (UIP). The UIP played a pivotal role in sustaining immunization services during the pandemic, ultimately improving immunization coverage compared to pre-pandemic levels. India’s accomplishments in this regard are highlighted through key performance indicators, the reach of immunization services, a reduction in zero-dose children, and antigen-wise coverage. The paper also discusses the successful integration of COVID-19 vaccination within the UIP framework, underscoring the significance of existing infrastructure, technology, and capacity building. India’s dedication to concurrently managing routine immunization and COVID-19 vaccination showcases the adaptability and resilience of its healthcare system. India’s journey serves as a global example of efficient mass immunization during challenging times, emphasizing the importance of political will, healthcare infrastructure investment, skilled healthcare workforces, and comprehensive vaccination programs. In a world grappling with the dual challenge of COVID-19 and routine immunization, India’s experience provides a roadmap for strengthening healthcare systems and promoting public health as the critical agenda in challenging times.
Live-Attenuated Salmonella-Based Oral Vaccine Candidates Expressing PCV2d Cap and Rep by Novel Expression Plasmids as a Vaccination Strategy for Mucosal and Systemic Immune Responses against PCV2d
Authors: Lloren Khristine Kaith Sison , Lee John Hwa
Published: November 2023

Oral vaccines are highly envisaged for veterinary applications due to their convenience and ability to induce protective mucosal immunity as the first line of defense. The present investigation harnessed live-attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium to orally deliver novel expression vector systems containing the Cap and Rep genes from porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), a significant swine pathogen. The antigen expression by the vaccine candidates JOL2885 and JOL2886, comprising eukaryotic pJHL204 and pro-eukaryotic expression pJHL270 plasmids, respectively, was confirmed by Western blot and IFA. We evaluated their immunogenicity and protective efficacy through oral vaccination in a mouse model. This approach elicited both mucosal and systemic immunity against PCV2d. Oral administration of the candidates induced PCV2-specific sIgA, serum IgG antibodies, and neutralizing antibodies, resulting in reduced viral loads in the livers and lungs of PCV2d-challenged mice. T-lymphocyte proliferation and flow-cytometry assays confirmed enhanced cellular immune responses after oral inoculation. The synchronized elicitation of both Th1 and Th2 responses was also confirmed by enhanced expression of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, MHC-I, and MHC-II. Our findings highlight the effectiveness and safety of the constructs with an engineered-attenuated S. Typhimurium, suggesting its potential application as an oral PCV2 vaccine candidate.
Guarantees of citizens’ right to information using digital technologies

Published: November 2023

The development of citizens’ right to access information, which is also known as the «right to know,» is actively occurring in many countries at the beginning of the 21st century, which is associated with the development of democracy. Many industrialized countries of the world adopted this path only after the end of World War II. The value of the right to access information in the use of digital technologies for developing democracies is that it is one of the main ways citizens can participate in government public life. Access to information and freedom of access to official documents are also considered as means of control over the actions of authorities and indicators of the state of democracy, as well as as a means of achieving openness and transparency in the activities of government bodies. The article discusses a number of conditions that ensure that Russian citizens are informed about the activities of the state. Informing citizens by public authorities in a social society is of utmost importance. Russian legislation in the information sphere, which provides legal guarantees for the implementation of information rights and freedoms of humans and citizens, is currently following the development path of «providing everyone with access to information using digital technologies.» In the context of the digitalization of public administration and the development of the information society, it should be noted that the methods of information activity in legal science and the methods of their implementation have not yet received sufficient understanding. It is concluded that in order to fully understand modern trends and develop the right of citizens to information, it is necessary to constantly improve legislation on access to information. However, the simple introduction of modern digital technologies into the activities of government authorities will not lead to the desired results of the development of modern Russia in the conditions of digitalization. Therefore, it is necessary to expand guarantees of citizens’ right to information, as well as to ensure constant digital interaction between officials and citizens, which will help achieve greater openness of public authorities.

Published: November 2023

Background: Stress and its complications such as anxiety and depression continue to be regarded as health issues in human societies. Therefore, an effective treatment strategy is highly valued for dealing with stress and related disorders. In spite of studies suggesting the neuroprotective effects of silymarin and buspirone alone, the combined effects of these treatments on chronic stress have not been elucidated yet. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effect of silymarin and buspirone (alone or in combination) on anxiety and depressive-like behaviors and to evaluate corticosterone levels in a mice model of chronic restraint stress (RS). Methods: This study was conducted on seventy-two male BALB/c mice which were allocated in six equal groups. The animals were exposed to chronic RS (2 hours/day for 14 days) to induce a depressive-like model. An elevated plus maze (EPM) was performed to assess anxiety, while a tail suspension test (TST) was implemented to evaluate depressive-like behavior. Furthermore, the serum levels of corticosterone were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Results: Our data demonstrated that exposure to RS resulted in prolonged immobility in the TST and reduced time spent in the open arms of the EPM test. Buspirone perorally (5 mg/kg, PO) alone and combined with silymarin (200 mg/kg, PO) increased time spent in the open arms of the EPM apparatus while attenuating immobility time in TST. There was a significant decrease in the blood corticosterone level of buspirone and silymarin co-treated animals. Conclusion: These findings indicated that silymarin potentiates the beneficial effect of buspirone against chronic RS-induced anxiety and depressive-like behaviors in mice by lowering corticosterone serum levels. In this regard, further investigations should be undertaken to clarify the exact mechanism of the observed effects.
MODELO ANALÍTICO PARA FORÇAS DE CORTE EM MICROCANAIS VIA MICROCORTE OBLÍQUO
Authors: SARAIVA DIAS FRANCISCO
Published: November 2023

Micromilling is a process characterized by its reduced dimensions and should not be approached as a simple reduction of conventional milling, since the radius of the cutting edge of the micromill is greater than the minimum cutting thickness for the chip to be formed, causing the scale effect. The purpose of this work is to study the cutting forces involved in the micromilling process and how they vary depending on the cutting parameters adopted, presenting a comparison between an analytical model for cutting forces and experiments carried out by the main authors, cited in the elaboration of the model proposed, searching the smallest possible error. The Johnson-Cook formulation was adopted to find the shear stress value and accounts for the part material data, strain, strain rate, and temperature. The milling force coefficients were determined from the fundamental approach of oblique cutting and considers: the radius of the cutting edge, the shear stress, the main angles and the coefficient of friction. With this, a general formulation was adopted to describe the model of cutting forces for micromilling.

En la presente tesis nos proponemos contribuir al conocimiento y a la comprensión de las políticas bibliotecarias de lectura elaboradas por la Comisión Protectora de Bibliotecas Populares entre 1933 y 1949, a partir de las intervenciones en el espacio público que propició como agencia estatal especializada en referencia al libro, la lectura, los lectores, las bibliotecas y la bibliotecología. De forma particular nos interesa comprender de qué manera, la Comisión Protectora, durante las gestiones de Juan Pablo Echagüe (1931-1944) y Carlos Alberto Obligado (1944-1949), buscó articular el universo de las bibliotecas populares a través de una estrategia de comunicación, centrada en sus publicaciones, en especial en las de edición periódica: el Boletín de la Comisión Protectora de Bibliotecas Populares (1933-1947) y la Revista de la Comisión Protectora de Bibliotecas Populares (1948-1949). Así, mediante estas entregas, el organismo nacional dio a conocer una prédica sobre la lectura que cimentaba la instrumentación de las políticas bibliotecarias de lectura sobre la conformación de las colecciones bibliográficas de las bibliotecas populares, la institucionalización del campo bibliotecario, la profesionalización disciplinar y la configuración de los lectorados.
Cripping STEM Education: 5 Principles for Disrupting Compulsory Sightedness
Authors: Shaheen Natalie L.
Published: November 2023

Across the U.S., K-12 schools have prioritized science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) coursework to prepare students for a STEM-focused economy. This paper contributes a blind pedagogical approach to STEM education that ensures blind/low-vision students are equitably prepared for that imagined STEM future. Drawing on crip theory, I show that the compulsory sightedness of K-12 STEM education is extraneous and exclusionary of blind/low-vision students. I argue that by following the five principles of blind STEM pedagogy educators can construct STEM classes that are born nonvisually accessible and equitable to blind/low-vision students. Finally, I invite educators to become epistemic activists and to conspire with the National Federation of the Blind to disrupt the compulsory sightedness of STEM education.

Su paso por distintas escuelas y centros de los Estados Unidos enseñando poesía lo llevó a escribir dos obras: Whises, Lies, And Dreams (Harper Collins, 1970) y Rose, Where Did You Get That Red? (Vintage Books, 1973), que hoy nos llegan reunidas y adaptadas al contexto hispánico gracias a la labor de Cristobo y Caparrós. Por ellos, no solo recuperamos un volumen teórico-práctico indispensable para iniciarnos en el arduo proceso de enseñar a escribir un poema, sino que reconocemos las muchas posibilidades que el trabajo con la tradición poética presenta en la formación tanto personal como profesional de los alumnos.
MUHAMMAD SA`ID RAMADAN AL-BUTI'S VIEWS OF MAṢLAḤAH OF THE MANDATORY WILL OF AN ADOPTED CHILD
Authors: - Mahbubi - , - Ludfi -
Published: November 2023

The Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) regulates mandatory wills for adopted children and adoptive parents, this is stated in article 209 paragraphs (1) and (2). This rule is relatively new when referring to the implementation of mandatory wills implemented in other Islamic countries. In contemporary jurisprudence studies, obligatory wills are only given to heirs who do not receive an inheritance because they are mahjūb by other heirs. The implementation of mandatory wills in Indonesia is considered to involve the mutual benefit of the child and his adoptive parents. Therefore, the focus of this study is to find the suitability of the concept of obligatory wills in KHI with the concept of mashlahah al-Buthi. The type of research used is library research with content analysis, philosophical-hermeneutic and mashlahah approaches. The data collection technique is in the form of documentation through inventory, classification and data evaluation. The results of this research state that mandatory wills in the KHI are only given to adopted children and adoptive parents. This legal formulation is the result of the ijtihad of Indonesian ulama' which aims for the common good. The concept of mashlahah al-Buthi is mashlahah which tries to take the middle path in accordance with what is intended by Syāri', so that giving obligatory wills to adopted children is a real benefit.

Published: November 2023

This article examines Asghar Ali Engineer's thoughts on women's liberation theology. This is mainly about the method of interpreting Islamic sacred texts. This article was collected from a literature review, then described and analyzed using gender theory. The results of this research show that Asghar's feminist spirit is very strong when reading and interpreting Islamic sacred texts. This cannot be separated from the influence of the science he mastered, including his plural life experience in India, which gave birth to a humanist method of interpretation. The Islamic portrait has shown the existence of gender justice according to Ali Asghar Engineer's perspective, they are both servants of Allah whose process of events is of the same type. The only difference lies in how they carry out their life functions as caliphs on earth, whether they become devout servants or not. Criticism of classical fiqh was raised because it was considered discriminatory against women, so Ali Asghar offered a reconstruction of feminist fiqh for a more just life.

Situational Awareness for Industry 5.0 and Mobile Robotics: A Review
Authors: Höyhtyä Marko
Published: November 2023

Intelligent networking of machines, processes and robots in the Industry 5.0 era enables automated decision-making and efficient operations. Situational awareness (SitAw) lies at the core of the development, providing understanding of what is happening around us. It uses inputs from sensors and humans and provides the ability for robots to survive in an uncertain environment. This paper defines the situational awareness system and the general SitAw architecture and shows how it can be applied to numerous use cases. We discuss time-scales of operation and show how real-time and non-real-time information are simultaneously used to provide real-time services. Predictive capabilities and ability to react to anomalies are essential part of proactive and safe operations. In contrast to typical focus on short range wireless connectivity, we highlight the importance of satellite technologies as an enabler in many application areas including smart farming, mobile robot swarms and autonomous shipping. Future research directions including three-dimensional SitAw and industrial metaverse are given.

O avanço da Tecnologia da Informação tem proporcionado impacto na indústria de jogos digitais. Outrora, tais jogos eram predominantemente destinados ao entretenimento e diversão. Contemporaneamente, as possibilidades se expandiram exponencialmente com inovações nos modos virtuais de apresentação e desafios destes jogos. Um dos principais avanços é a utilização dos jogos digitais para fins educacionais e terapêuticos, incluindo o auxílio no processo de aprendizagem de indivíduos com Síndrome de Down. A partir deste contexto, esse estudo objetivou avaliar o jogo digital “Maze for Kids” na estimulação das habilidades cognitivas e motoras de um estudante com Síndrome de Down. O procedimento metodológico baseou-se no delineamento do sujeito único, no modelo AB, o qual permitiu a análise do comportamento do estudante antes, durante e após as intervenções. A coleta de dados foi realizada em nove sessões, com o auxílio de filmagens e anotações de campo. A partir da análise de dados, pode-se identificar um melhor desempenho do participante, visto que ele obteve um melhor aproveitamento no jogo. Quanto às habilidades cognitivas e motoras analisadas, elas obtiveram resultados positivos durante o protocolo de intervenção. Conclui-se que ao ser utilizado o delineamento no modelo AB, pôde-se evidenciar que o uso de um jogo digital em um recurso touch, ao ser associado à intervenção e atrelado ao uso de estratégias, pode favorecer o desenvolvimento de habilidades motoras e cognitivas do participante com Síndrome de Down, estimulando a resolução de desafios e sua autonomia.

O rugby em cadeira de rodas (RCR) é um esporte paralímpico de impacto com alta incidência de lesões esportivas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar e analisar as lesões esportivas, e descrever, de forma geral, os tipos de tratamentos indicados, adotado por uma equipe de RCR durante o XIII Campeonato Brasileiro de RCR. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com abordagem descritiva, realizado com 12 atletas do sexo masculino de uma equipe de RCR durante o campeonato brasileiro de 2021. Ao final do campeonato, foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado em ambiente virtual utilizando o Google Forms®. A análise estatística e descritiva do perfil da amostra, lesões e tratamentos fisioterapêuticos realizados foi feita por meio do Microsoft Excel 2023. Durante o campeonato, 67,0% dos atletas tiveram algum tipo de lesão, sendo 45,0% lesões no sistema musculoesquelético e 55,0% no sistema tegumentar. Em relação à incidência de lesões por classe funcional, 40,2% das lesões foram em atletas de classe alta e 26,8% em atletas de classe baixa. O tratamento adotado pela fisioterapeuta da equipe, foi baseado na identificação da lesão e nos recursos terapêuticos disponíveis, como o ultrassom terapêutico e a crioterapia. As intervenções da fisioterapia no tratamento das lesões esportivas durante a competição foram resolutivas e possibilitaram o breve retorno do atleta ao jogo, de maneira a cumprir com o seu papel técnico e tático em quadra.
