Sporting talent in volleyball
Authors: Ribeiro de Oliveira Júlia , Zacaron Werneck Francisco , Gattas Bara-Filho Maurício
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the available literature on sporting talent in volleyball, and critically analyse what else has been researched in the area, methodological approaches, knowledge gaps, and encouraging future research. The search strategy was carried out in four electronic databases (PubMed®, Scopus, SPORT Discuss and Web of Science) using the PRISMA-ScR methodology (extension for Scoping Reviews). 78 articles were included for the final analysis. Most studies analysed female athletes (56.4%), in a cross-sectional design (85.9%), with group comparison (60.3%), bivariate analysis (66.7%) and application of test batteries (91%) of anthropometric (62.8%) and physical-motor (56.4%) characteristics. There were few studies that adopted a multidimensional (20.5%) and retrospective/longitudinal approach (11.5%), evaluated psychological skills (7.7%), subjective coach analysis (25.6%), motor coordination (9%), maturation (9%) and sociocultural characteristics (5.1%). Thus, talent identification in volleyball generally uses batteries of tests to discriminate between skill levels, mainly using physical tests (anthropometric and physiological measures), but the evidence for their validity in predicting future performance and discriminating skill levels is limited. Future research should adopt multidimensional and longitudinal approaches, combining objective and subjective indicators of sporting potential of young volleyball athletes.

True North Strong and Free: Three Wise Men and The Founding of CASAE/ACÉÉA
Authors: Boshier Roger
Published: July 2024

Education/l’Association canadienne pour l’Étude de l’Éducation des Adultes (CASAE/ACÉÉA) on May 6, 1980, occurred against a backdrop of unease about the influence of U.S. academics in Canadian university departments of adult education. In particular, CASAE advocates in Vancouver had to navigate around Coolie Verner, who felt adult education (as a discipline and field) was stalled by lack of consensus concerning fundamental concepts. He would be reluctant to endorse anything lacking rigour. Verner was not opposed to Canadians having their own organization, but, even so, his 1979 death created space for the founding of CASAE in 1980. This paper analyzes events leading to the less-than-dramatic CASAE birthing process involving three wise men. Despite early years on life support, by 1982 CASAE was where it should be—in a Vancouver Chinese restaurant toying with noodles. Thirty-one years after the founding, university adult education is in big trouble. But CASAE is still here and members are grateful to those who sustained it. Résumé Le congrès fondateur de l’Association canadienne pour l’Étude de l’Éducation des Adultes (ACÉÉA) eut lieu le 6 mai 1980, dans un contexte de malaise latent concernant l’influence et la proximité des universitaires américains dans les départements d’éducation des adultes au sein des universités canadiennes. En particulier, les partisans de l’ACÉÉA à Vancouver, ont dû composer avec Coolie Verner qui considérait que l’éducation des adultes (comme discipline et comme domaine) était bloqué par un manque de consensus concernant les concepts fondamentaux. Or il était réticent à approuver quoique ce soit manquant de rigueur. Verner n’était pas opposé à ce que les Canadiens aient leur propre organisation, mais quand même, sa mort en 1979, créa l’espace qui permit la fondation de l’ACÉÉA en1980. Cet article analyse les événements conduisant au congrès fondateur et au moins que dramatique processus de création de l’ACÉÉA qui fut dominé par trois sages. Malgré ses premières années de survie, dès 1982, l’ACÉÉA était où elle devait être - dans un restaurant chinois de Vancouver, jouant avec des nouilles et essayant d’identifier le mot français pour sauce soja. Trente-un ans après sa fondation, l’ACÉÉA continue d’exister et les membres sont reconnaissants envers ceux qui l’ont toujours soutenu.
Learning and the “Circuit Of Culture”: A Cultural Exploration and Reflection on the University as a Work Site
Authors: Kelly Jennifer , Yochim Lorin
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this opinion piece is to explore a cultural practice at a university work site and its subsequent impact on higher education and adult learning. We use a cultural studies framework, particularly the “circuit of culture,” to interpret a single element of one university’s instructor evaluation program, the Universal Student Ratings of Instruction (USRI), as a cultural text performed through processes of production, consumption, identity, regulation, and representation. While this program is specific to one site, we believe something similar can be found in colleges and universities across Canada and beyond. We also believe this paper is of particular interest to faculty engaged in the scholarship of adult education, embedded as it is in participatory traditions.
Marginalized Non-Traditional Adult Learners: Beyond Economics
Authors: Hyland-Russell Tara , Groen Janet
Published: July 2024

Changing demographics and patterns of higher education participation in many countries, including Canada, have prompted a growing interest in improving access for non-traditional adult learners. This paper focuses on the results of a research study funded by the Canadian Council on Learning that profiles 71 learners in three Canadian university-level Radical Humanities programs designed for low-income people. Four thematic areas explore the barriers and supports that impact students’ ability to access post-secondary education: (1) barriers to further education, (2) concept of self as learner, (3) learning space, and (4) role of the humanities. This paper argues that while poverty limits educational participation, a greater challenge is posed for marginalized non-traditional adult learners by complex relationships among economic and non-material barriers that limit their agency. Effectively increasing post-secondary participation rates for marginalized non-traditional adult learners cannot be achieved by addressing economic issues alone but by addressing the structural nature and impact of inter-related economic and non-material barriers.
Theoretical studies of identity in the sacral architecture of Ukraine
Authors: Cherkes Bohdan , Diachok Oksana , Hernik Józef
Published: July 2024

Modern reconstruction of central districts in cities and villages with a historical environment raises discussions on the protection of cultural heritage. Architectural monuments are a reflection of changes in ideological and political transformations in society, and the attitude to them is a reflection of the culture of the nation. The need to protect the ancient Ukrainian holy places as the genetic memory of the nation, and to build modern churches that will have the features of the new Ukrainian church, became even more important in the times of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the aggravation of socio-political and national-cultural problems and insufficient coverage in studies of the process of creating and reflecting identity in Ukrainian churches. The purpose of the study was to investigate the process of shaping national identity and its visualisation by architectural means in the creation of Ukrainian churches. To achieve the goal, the following research methods were used: empirical (search for literary and archival sources, observation, comparison and description), theoretical (comparative and compositional analysis, classification and generalisation), and special research methods (full-scale survey of temples, their photo recording, identification of characteristic features and features, research of retrospective development). All this allowed investigating the process of development of the architecture of Ukrainian authentic churches in chronological order, to show the process of creating a new Ukrainian sacred style, which became the prototype of the creative search of modern architects. The researchers focused on the role of the artistic and creative elite in the creation of national identity; showed the problems of creating Ukrainian identity related to the historical past; analysed the influence of social and political factors on Ukrainian sacral architecture and the possibility of visualising the image of the national church through architecture; noted the importance of the image of Ukrainian sacral architecture for confirming national identity. The research demonstrates the importance of preserving ancient Ukrainian churches, which carry the genetic memory of the nation, supplement data on the development of sacral architecture, and open the way for further research. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the results obtained can be used by architects in the design of modern Ukrainian churches, will be useful in museum work and in educational activities for training architecture and design specialists

An Overview of the Perspective of Modernization of the Agricultural Sector of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Lucașenco Eugenia
Published: July 2024

The agricultural sector is one of the most important and dynamic sectors of the national economy of the Republic of Moldova, as an important part of the rural population is engaged in agriculture. Moreover, other branches of the national economy depend on its development and evolution (transportation, manufactu-ring industry, exports, domestic trade, services in agriculture, HORECA, etc.). Therefore, the modernization of the sector is a necessary imperative for ensuring its good functioning, increasing competitiveness and efficiency indicators, as well as ensuring the well-being of the population. The purpose of the paper is to present an overview of the current state of the agricultural sector and to identify the subsectors that require specific interventions in order to modernize them. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis, method of comparison, induction and deduction, as well as the evalua-tion of agricultural policies based on the OECD methodology and the SWOT analysis. The results obtained are not only based on the hypothesis that, in the current conditions, the process of modernization of the agricultural sector is no longer viewed only through the prism of its technology, through the intensive pro-cessing of land to obtain increased harvests, through structural transformations or the excessive amplifica-tion of incomes, but also on the revitalization of certain subsectors and their positive transformation. Thus, a series of subsectors that need to be modernized were identified through the SWOT analysis.
Social Dialogue – Problems and Solutions
Authors: Donos Evlampie
Published: July 2024

The essence of social dialogue at the current stage represents an important factor in mitigating the crisis that the Republic of Moldova is going through. The decrease in salary income, the increase in the share of people exposed to poverty, and marginalization are problems of great gravity for society. Under these conditions, measures are required to revive the institution of social dialogue. The lack of a clear concept regarding the structuring of social dialogue norms creates difficulties in the proper functioning of this institution. In the reference material, the author analyzes some aspects regarding the institution of social dialogue in the Republic of Moldova through the prism of compliance of the legal framework in force with the norms of the International Labor Organization, the Council of Europe and the European Union. The paper contains concrete proposals for the modification of some norms related to social dialogue.

A case study of AstraZeneca’s omeprazole/esomeprazole chiral switch strategy
Authors: Piñeiro Federico J , Rogelio Alberto Fernández Argüelles
Published: July 2024

Introduction/Objective: To describe the chiral switch, an evergreening strategy used by AstraZeneca to position enantiopure esomeprazole as the new proton pump inhibitor market leader, displacing its predecessor omeprazole. Methodology: A four-stage systematic review which included: a preliminary review, bibliographic review using databases, classification of the body of literature, and content analysis. Results: Using different legal and commercial strategies, such as patent thickets and aggressive publicity campaigns, AstraZeneca transferred consumer loyalty from their successful omeprazole to esomeprazole, its new and more expensive patent protected product which has the same therapeutic value as its predecessor. This chiral switch allowed AstraZeneca to maintain monopoly prices, which increased the financial burden experienced by consumers and payors and may have also had a negative impact on access to the medication. Conclusions: This case study exemplifies how the current patent system, including patent thickets, can be used to enhance the profits of pharmaceutical companies while stalling innovation and placing undue financial burdens on the consumer.

Authors: Buda Mihaela
Published: July 2024

This article describes the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) exploratory study on infliximab as a test case for developing public standards for monoclonal antibodies. The design and outcome of the feasibility study, importance of interaction with stakeholders and the challenges and lessons learned are discussed. Emphasis is put on the approach used to set the monograph specifications, oriented towards promoting flexibility, notably in addressing structural complexity and process-dependent product heterogeneity. The elaboration of the monograph went through extensive and rigorous analytical testing and, together with stakeholder feedback, demonstrated that the standardisation of a monoclonal antibody is feasible. The article examines current thinking based on the outcome of the infliximab case study and how the knowledge gained can be used to evolve the strategy laid down in the roadmap envisaged for the development of further public standards for monoclonal antibodies.

Το παρόν άρθρο παρουσιάζει μια έρευνα στα πλαίσια της οποίας αναλύονται οι απόψεις εννέα μουσικοθεραπευτών (από την Ελλάδα και το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο) σχετικά με τη χρήση της μουσικής ως θεραπευτικό μέσο για την τροποποίηση της αυτοτραυματικής συμπεριφοράς ατόμων με αυτισμό. Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι η μουσική, η οποία βασίζεται στη μουσικοθεραπευτική σχέση που δημιουργείται μεταξύ του θεραπευτή και του ατόμου με αυτισμό, μπορεί να μειώσει την αυτοτραυματική συμπεριφορά ατόμων με αυτισμό. Επίσης, υποστηρίζεται ότι δεν υπάρχει συγκεκριμένη μουσικοθεραπευτική τεχνική και συγκεκριμένο μουσικό όργανο που να είναι περισσότερο ή λιγότερο αποτελεσματικό στη μείωση της αυτοτραυματικής συμπεριφοράς. Τα αποτελέσματα αυτά συζητούνται συγκριτικά, λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν τα αποτελέσματα άλλων σχετικών ερευνών και της διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας

Published: July 2024

Manusia di dunia ini sangat membutuhkan air bersih untuk kehidupan mereka. Dalam tubuh manusia itu sendiri 60-70 % itu adalah air. Manusia akan sulit bertahan hidup jika tidak ada air. Dalam segala macam kegiatan manusia, air adalah kebutuhan penting untuk keberlangsungan berbagai kegiatan mulai dari kebutuhan domestik, seperti mandi, masak, mencuci, minum dan lain sebagainya. Setidaknya manusia membutuhkan kurang lebih 126,9 liter/orang/hari. Kondisi morfologi Kota Semarang yang bervariasi, menjadikan sebaran air tanah pada daerah ini tidak merata. Pada formasi cekungan, air tanah mudah didapat bahkan muncul sebagai “sendang” atau spring sedangkan pada formasi igir/anti klinal, air tanah sulit didapat. Untuk itu perlu ada pengelolaan air yang baik. Salah satu potensi yaitu melalui konservasi sumber daya air dengan melibatkan para santri di wilayah Kelurahan Kalisegoro, Kecamatan Gunungpati, Kota Semarang. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini, dilaksanakan dengan melakukan penelaahan menggunakan teknik POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actualing dan Control). Melalui kegiatan ini, dilakukan berbagai aktivitas seperti penyampaian kajian dan materi, pembersihan mata air serta penanaman vegetasi pada area sekitar sumber air.

Mіcro- and mаcrovascular complications in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a case report
Authors: Saienko Yanina , Marushko Yevhen , Zubovych I. V. , Mankovsky Boris
Published: July 2024

Late detection and prolonged decompensation of diabetes mellitus lead to the development of severe vascular complications. These include microvascular complications such as retinopathy and nephropathy, and macrovascular complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease, as well as diabetic neuropathy. The presented clinical case clearly demonstrates the connection between the untimely diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and the development of severe, irreversible consequences.
It is known that diabetes mellitus leads to damage to target organs: eyes, kidneys, heart, as well as blood vessels and nerve endings. We decided to describe a clinical case of a man who developed typical complications of diabetes mellitus and to show a comprehensive approach to the treatment of a comorbid patient. The prescription of modern therapy according to global recommendations delays the development of complications, but unfortunately, the late diagnosis of diabetes in this patient led to irreversible consequences.
It should be remembered that adherence to a nutritional regimen, strict control of glycemia, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and physical activity can reduce the development of micro- and macrovascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Digital Video Stabilization: Methods, Datasets, and Evaluation
Authors: Souza Marcos Roberto e , Maia Helena de Almeida , Pedrini Hélio
Published: July 2024

Video stabilization removes shaky camera motion from videos. In our thesis, we presented an extensive review, including a formal problem defini tion, meta-analysis, and other elements, resulting in two survey papers. We introduced new measures for stability assessment and studied the correlation between them and human perception. We also proposed a novel evaluation ap proach for 2D camera motion estimation. We then introduced NAFT, a semi-online DWS method with a neighborhood-aware mechanism to stabilize without an explicit stability definition. We supervised NAFT with SynthStab, our pro posed synthetic dataset. NAFT closed the quality gap with non-DWS methods while reducing the number of parameters and model size by 14×.
A Stochastic Approach to Generate Emergent Behaviors in Robotic Swarms
Authors: Rezeck Paulo , Chaimowicz Luiz
Published: July 2024

This work proposes a stochastic methodology utilizing Gibbs Random Fields (GRFs) to induce diverse emergent behaviors in robotic swarms, including flocking, segregation, cooperative object transportation, and pattern formation. Relying solely on local information and decentralized control mechanisms, our approach enables robust and scalable swarm behaviors. Through numerical simulations and real-world experiments with HeRo 2.0, a low-cost swarm robotic platform developed as part of this work, we demonstrate the benefits of the proposed methodology, including adaptability, robustness, and resilience. Overall, our stochastic approach holds promise for advancing swarm robotics by enabling the generation of versatile behaviors, contributing to the field’s evolution and showing potential for new applications.

Neste trabalho, investigamos colorações graciosas no contexto de classes de grafos cúbicos como Snarks de Blanuša Generalizados Bi1, para i ≥ 1, e determinamos que o menor inteiro positivo k para o qual Bi1 possui uma k-coloração graciosa é 6.
Coloração total equilibrada do snark Estrela Dupla
Authors: Araújo Rieli , Sasaki Diana
Published: July 2024

Em 2016, Dantas et al. levantaram o questionamento se existe um grafo cúbico Tipo 1 com cintura pelo menos 5 e que possua número cromático total equilibrado 5, o que motivou este trabalho. Nós provamos que o snark Estrela Dupla possui número cromático total equilibrado 4 contribuindo para esta questão como uma evidência negativa.
Em direção a uma nova abordagem para colorir os vértices de um grafo usando Busca Monte Carlo em Árvore
Authors: Souza Raquel M. de , Oliveira Fabiano de S. , Pinto Paulo Eustáquio D. , Barbosa Valmir C.
Published: July 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma nova abordagem para coloração de vértices em grafos. Essa abordagem consiste em adicionar arestas ao grafo aleatoriamente, na expectativa de encontrar um supergrafo cujo número cromático seja próximo ao do grafo original e requeira tempo computacional baixo para ser computado. O processo aleatório é guiado pela Busca Monte Carlo em Árvore. Apresentamos evidências preliminares em favor dessa abordagem.

Published: July 2024

As tecnologias provenientes de Internet das Coisas (IoT) e Fog Computing (FC), se integradas, possibilitam o desenvolvimento de sistemas urbanos inteligentes e o processamento eficaz de grandes volumes de dados. Este trabalho apresenta um modelo matemático para a integração dessas tecnologias e a alocação de recursos para atender múltiplos serviços de rede em ambientes de Cidades Inteligentes. Neste contexto, o atendimento em múltiplos períodos se justifica no planejamento e programação do atendimento às demandas dos sensores de IoT, minimizando os custos de ativação de nós das camadas fog e cloud. Os resultados computacionais mostram as limitações de uma abordagem exata para a resolução do problema, e abrem discussões sobre o aprimoramento de métodos de solução baseados em heurísticas.
An efficient algorithm to add up-links to a rooted tree to obtain a minimum cost 2-connected graph
Authors: Azevedo Gabriel Morete de , Wakabayashi Yoshiko
Published: July 2024

We present an efficient algorithm to solve a special case of the following node-connectivity augmentation problem. Given a tree T = (V,E) and an additional set L ⊂ (V 2) of edges, called links, L ∩ E = ∅, each one with a rational nonnegative cost, find a minimum cost set of links F ⊆ L such that T + F is 2-connected. In general form, this problem is NP-hard. We focus on the up-link variation, where the tree T has a root, and every link is an edge from a node to its ancestor. We present a linear formulation for this problem together with a proof of integrality and an efficient combinatorial algorithm for it.
Firefighters work better when the bandwidth is small
Authors: Fusquino Sérgio , Faria Luerbio , Sasaki Diana , Santos Vinicius dos
Published: July 2024

In this work we address the Firefighter problem in graphs and its relationship with the bandwidth parameter bw(G) of a graph G. The Firefighter problem consists of a scenario in which a vertex v of the graph is initially set on fire, which we call the focus of the fire. The objective is to defend the largest number of vertices not on fire with firefighters, protecting vertex by vertex, as the fire spreads after each new defense. The bandwidth parameter in graphs is a minimum natural number, such that it is found after an optimal linear arrangement of the vertices, such that the distance between the indices of the vertices of this linear arrangement is the smallest possible. We relate this parameter to Firefighter to find a lower bound on the maximum number of vertices saved from fire in a graph G.

Authors: Faria Luerbio , Figueiredo Natan , Santos Vinicius Fernandes dos
Published: July 2024

Arranjos musicais têm sido tratados recentemente do ponto de vista combinatório. Esses problemas consideram uma partitura com um número dado de pautas correspondentes aos instrumentos participantes. O objetivo é selecionar um certo número de instrumentos que atendam a algumas propriedades musicais específicas. Neste trabalho, são propostos dois novos problemas de decisão para arranjo musical, o ARRANJO PARA k INSTRUMENTOS e o PREENCHIMENTO DE TEMPOS POR INSTRUMENTOS. É provado que ambos os problemas são NP-completos.
3-atribuição de papéis em produto forte de grafos bipartidos e grafos cordais sem folhas
Authors: Medeiros Gustavo Morais , Nascimento Julliano Rosa
Published: July 2024

Seja G um grafo simples e r um inteiro positivo. Uma r-atribuição de papéis é uma atribuição de r papéis distintos aos vértices de G, tal que, dois vértices com o mesmo papel têm o mesmo conjunto de papéis nos vértices adjacentes. Determinar se um grafo possui uma r-atribuição de papéis é NP-completo para r ≥ 3 fixo, mesmo restrito a grafos bipartidos ou cordais. Motivados por trabalhos anteriores, mostramos que o produto forte entre dois grafos conexos não triviais possui uma 3-atribuição de papéis se ao menos um de seus fatores for um grafo bipartido ou for um grafo cordal sem folhas.
Os grafos cordais comparabilidade como grafos de interseção
Authors: Cerioli Márcia R. , Souto Rodrigo Fernandes , Viana Petrucio
Published: July 2024

Um grafo G é cordal se todo ciclo de tamanho pelo menos 4 em G possui uma corda; é de comparabilidade se admite uma orientação transitiva de suas arestas; e é cordal comparabilidade se é simultaneamente cordal e de comparabilidade. Os grafos cordais são os grafos de interseção de subárvores de uma árvore. é uma questão ainda sem resposta se existe uma classe interessante C tal que os grafos de comparabilidade são os grafos de interseção de C. Neste trabalho, definimos uma classe de famílias de subárvores T tal que os grafos cordais comparabilidade são os grafos de interseção de T.

Published: July 2024

Problemas de roteamento com veículos elétricos têm ganhado atenção na literatura de otimização. No entanto, uma variante menos estudada é o problema do caixeiro viajante com veículos elétricos e janelas de tempo. Um dos desafios dessa variante está na obtenção de soluções iniciais factíveis para serem utilizadas em resolvedores baseados em branch-and-cut. Para geração dessas soluções, este trabalho propõe uma heurística de busca local simples e eficaz. A heurística foi capaz de gerar soluções factíveis para 49 (das 50) instâncias utilizadas na avaliação.

Authors: Fröhlich João Vitor , Roggia Karina Girardi , Torrens Paulo Henrique
Published: July 2024

Um assistente de provas é uma ferramenta de software que auxilia no desenvolvimento de provas formais. Dentre as capacidades de um assistente de provas, como o Coq, é possível modelar estruturas complexas, em particular aplicações, que podem ser representadas por meio de provas. Entre essas estruturas, podemos destacar os grafos, contudo não foram encontradas muitas pesquisas sobre a formalização da implementação dos diversos algoritmos que resolvem problemas da teoria de grafos. Assim, para contribuir com a expansão do uso de assistentes de provas na verificação da corretude de algoritmos da teoria de grafos, este trabalho implementa em Coq o algoritmo de Dijkstra e apresenta uma prova parcial de corretude dessa implementação.
