Resíduos de Construção e demolição em Canteiros de Obras: um mapeamento sistemático da literatura
Authors: Cobra Alexandre Marques Nogueira , Emilio Romualdo
Published: November 2023

A construção civil é uma das maiores geradoras de resíduos e há grandes impactos ambientais neste processo, tornando necessário buscar modelos de gerenciamento mais sustentáveis. A Lei que estabelece a Politica Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos busca soluções para que materiais inservíveis não sejam descartados na natureza. Por diversos motivos técnicos e financeiros sua obrigatoriedade foi exigida apenas em agosto de 2014. A presente pesquisa apresenta um Mapeamento Sistemático da Literatura analisando a repercussão na construção civil no Brasil quanto à gestão de resíduos da construção e demolição. Os resultados obtidos na revisão da literatura dos documentos analisados sugerem que o caminho trilhado ainda não saiu do modo conceitual e as políticas públicas não mudaram após 9 anos da publicação da lei. Este trabalho pretende contribuir social e ambientalmente para futuros trabalhos de gerenciamento de resíduos advindos da construção civil com enfoque na responsabilidade social dos envolvidos.
Políticas públicas na agricultura familiar para a manutenção de Quintais agroecológicos que realizam a produção de alimentos em um município da região metropolitana de Belém/PA.
Authors: Teixeira Adriano Lázaro Gama , Oliveira Rita Denize de
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo foi uma pesquisa baseada nas orientações de (GIL, 2008) na perspectiva do método experimental, com o intuito de fomentar a pesquisa acadêmica e o ensino de geografia em campo. A pesquisa de campo teve como um dos objetivos identificar “quintal agroecológico” para produção de alimentos saudáveis que estivessem em atividade na capital paraense (Belém/PA) e/ou em algum outro município que compõem a região metropolitana de Belém (quintal identificado no município de Marituba/PA). In loco, foi realizado a aplicação do questionário “sociodiversidade e mudanças climáticas em quintais, sítios e terreiros social” que subsidiou a elaboração de relatório científico e a identificação de resultados inerentes ao assunto pesquisado. Fica também evidenciado que a preservação e manutenção do espaço denominado Quintal Agroecológico como recurso imprescindível para produção de alimentos livres de agrotóxicos e outros agentes químicos nocivos à saúde humana requer um olhar diferenciado das ações de Estado sobre esses espaços.  Imagens de satélite confirmam que está ocorrendo um avanço desenfreado da especulação imobiliária que sufoca gradativamente a expansão de áreas semelhantes como à pesquisada. Logo, políticas públicas voltadas para a agricultura familiar e para a manutenção de quintais agroecológicas devem ser intensificadas com intuito da preservação e a manutenção cultural do cultivo destes alimentos, pois estas técnicas de cultivo já fazem parte de uma tradição familiar que é repassada por muitas gerações de agricultores que tem no quintal agroecológico sua principal fonte de captação de renda destes e de outros agricultores que se juntam aos milhares espalhados em todo o território nacional.

Published: November 2023

The article deals with the issues of determining the position of unmanned vehicles (UV) in tunnels in the absence of signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and unfavorable operating conditions, such as low light, high humidity, radioactivity and others. The authors proposes a method for navigating unmanned vehicles based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. On board the unmanned vehicle there is a high-frequency generator, a radio transmitting unit, a radio receiving unit, an information management system, and under the bearing or supporting surface of the unmanned vehicle propulsion unit there is a single-wire radio transmission line coordinated with the environment by means of an active load. The high-frequency generator transmits high-frequency current to the radio transmitting unit, which excites a single-wire radio transmission line, the single-wire radio transmission line emits a high-frequency radio signal supplied to the radio receiving unit for further conversion by the information management system into electrical control signals of an unmanned vehicle. Magnetic loops or electrical vibrators can be used as radiating antenna from the radio transmitting unit, and magnetic loops or ferrite probe excited by the high-frequency magnetic field of the radio transmission line can be used as receiving antenna. The article deals with the influence of the environment on the processes of radiation and reception of radio signals. Computer testing of the developed method was carried out with using three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling. Electrically small loop antennas located orthogonally were used to transmit and receive the radio signal. It was shown that the phase analysis of the transmission gain in both cases can provide ample information about the direction and deviation rate from the path which is set using the radio transmission line. The results of the study can be useful for the development of navigation systems for unmanned vehicles in conditions of limited availability of signals from GNSS.
Synthesis of Nominal Reorientation Trajectories of a Small Satellite in Case of Failure of One Actuator
Authors: Elisov N. A. , Kramlikh A. V. , Lomaka I. A.
Published: November 2023

The paper devotes to the development of the approach for synthesis of reorientation trajectory of a small satellite. We consider the nanosatellite angular motion described by the kinematic quaternion equations. The aerodynamic and gravitational disturbance torques are taken into account in the angular motion model. Reorientation of a small satellite occurs from some initial position. In addition, the final angular velocity components do not exceed 0.1 °/s. The control program is given as the even Fourier series. The even Fourier series were chosen due to they can describe a complex dependency accurately. The coefficients of the even Fourier series are defined by the differential evolution algorithm. Previously, this approach has shown its efficiency for the cases of normal operation of the actuators. The paper presents the approach of synthesis of reorientation trajectory in case of failure of the actuator. The problem of reorientation reduces to optimization problem of searching of 34 coefficients of the even Fourier series that provided the achievement of the desired boundary conditions. The numerical results are given that approved the possibility of solution of the reorientation problem of small satellite in case of failure of the actuator. To compare the control programs, research was made between the cases of normal operation of the actuator and failure of the actuator. The value of the control torque differs by the order of magnitude in case of failure of the actuator. Despite this, its value is achievable for the magnetic coils.
Prevention of corruption in military administration bodies as a social and security problem
Authors:   Lviv State University of Internal Affairs, Shopina Iryna
Published: November 2023

B a c k g r o u n d . The functioning of the military management system in the conditions of a high-intensity armed conflict, the failure to pay sufficient attention to the issues of state-wide and departmental anti-corruption control periodically leads to an increase in the level of threats to the life and health of the personnel of military formations. This determines the need to overcome a number of social and security problems and serves as confirmation of the need for their research. The purpose and task of the article is to determine the essence of preventing corruption in military administration bodies as a social and security problem. M e t h o d s . The methods of analysis and synthesis were used to single out the two most problematic spheres of legal relations under the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. The semantic method and the modeling method made it possible to formulate the concept of preventing corruption in the military administration and the effectiveness of the use of funds to solve the tasks of repelling Russian armed aggression. R e s u l t s . It was found that the prevention of corruption in military administration bodies as a social problem represents a reduction in the destructive impact of corruption manifestations on social relations. The concept of the effectiveness of the use of funds and means to solve the tasks of repelling Russian armed aggression is defined as the maximum success of military operations for the deoccupation of Ukrainian lands with the simultaneous maximum preservation of the lives and health of servicemen. C o n c l u s i o n s . The concept of preventing corruption in military administration bodies is defined as a complex multi-component type of activity involving a large number of state institutions, non-governmental organizations, media, international organizations and foreign institutions, aimed at creating institutional and organizational conditions for the effective functioning of the Defense Forces, ensuring effective repulsion of Russian armed aggression and deoccupation of Ukrainian territories. The existence of a self-regulatory mechanism for ensuring security in the researched area, which functions thanks to the potential of Ukrainian civil society and international procedures of democratic civilian control in the defense sector, was established.
The Effects of Self-Gift Purchase Motivation on Psychological Well-Being and Repurchase Intention: Focusing on the Moderating Effects of Product Type
Authors:   The Korean Logistics Research Association, Bao Yi-Wen , Bai Hao-Yue , Kim Jung-Hee
Published: November 2023

This study aims to investigate the impact of consumers’ self-gift purchase motivation on their psychological well-being and repurchase intention in the context of the consumption trend of pursuing self-healing and small happiness for themselves and to verify whether there are differences in the relationship between these research concepts by product type. To this end, hypotheses and research models were derived from the theoretical background, and a survey was conducted among Chinese consumers who had purchased utilitarian or hedonic products as self-gifts, and the results were tested using a structural equation model. The research findings are summarized as follows. First, the investment motive, consolation motive, and imitation motive of self-gifting had a positive effect on psychological well-being after self-gifting, and the investment motive had a positive impact on the repurchase intention of self-gifting. Second, psychological well-being after self-gift purchase positively affected repurchase intention. Third, the moderating effect of product type was significant in the relationship between all consumption motives and psychological well-being except for the self-gift imitation motive. In particular, psychological well-being had a positive effect on repurchase intentions after self-gifting hedonic products for reward and comfort motives, and psychological well-being had a positive effect on repurchase intentions after self-gifting utilitarian products for investment motives. These results suggest that companies should focus on consumers’ preferences for self-gifting, develop differentiated products, and establish differentiated marketing strategies based on consumers’ purchase motives, such as developing communication messages appropriate to their product types.
Testing and Evaluation of the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model 2022
Authors: Stirling Mark , Manea Elena , Gerstenberger Matt , Bora Sanjay
Published: November 2023

We summarize the work that has been done within the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model 2022 (NZ NSHM 2022) to evaluate and test the updated hazard model and its components against observational data. We undertake a two-phase analysis to learn about the performance of the hazard model with respect to several limited databases. Phase 1 is the evaluation phase, involving multiple efforts to optimize various source rate model and ground-motion characterization model components against: (1) the New Zealand earthquake catalog for 1950–2020; (2) international catalogs (where relevant); and (3) New Zealand paleoseismic and geodetic data. Phase 2 involves testing the hazard results. We perform ground-motion-based testing of the NZ NSHM 2022 exceedance rates against the observed exceedance rates for strong-motion stations around New Zealand. To account for the modeled variability in rate, the comparisons are done by assuming a binomial distribution about the mean exceedance rate for 0.1g and 0.2g at each station location. We use a combined approach that considers the full epistemic uncertainty distribution for those exceedance rates by weighting the binomial for each branch in the logic tree. We find that, in general, the observed exceedance rates can be drawn from the NZ NSHM 2022 with probabilities greater than 0.05, and that the discrepancies are generally confined to areas close to major earthquake sequences (e.g., Christchurch). These sequences were not considered in the NZ NSHM 2022 forecast. This initial iteration of testing does not provide evidence to reject the NZ NSHM 2022 based on the New Zealand accelerograph record. Importantly, we can only draw limited conclusions from the testing due to the very short time frame of data available for testing.

World Music Open-earedness as a Possible Measure of Proteophilia and Connection to a Cultural Secure Base: A Commentary on Quan et al. (2022)
Authors: Chilvers Alex
Published: November 2023

In this commentary, I discuss the key findings of Quan et al. (2022) and consider how their World Music Open-earedness Scale might contribute to future research and practice. I offer an alternative assessment of the relationship between world music open-earedness and sociocultural adaptation, and suggest how this may be investigated further. I extend this into a reinterpretation of the result linking specific functions of music to adaptation, adding greater emphasis to the role of music as an explicit expression of culture. I propose that these findings can be used to support an increased focus on culture and art in educational contexts, including an increase in intercultural content and encounters.
Global Supply Chain Transformation Effects on Food Self-sufficiency
Authors:   Korean Academy Of International Commerce, Inc., Lim Byeong-ho , Shim Chang-yong , Park Seul-ki
Published: November 2023

Purpose: This study analyzes the impact of changes in the global supply chain on South Korea's food self-sufficiency rate under the IPEF, and explores strategies for future food security.
Research design, data, and methodology: Analysis of the global supply chain's impact utilizes the GTAP model, assuming the effects of import price efficiency (AMS) and export tariffs (TXS) on the food sector, with the assumption of eliminating non-tariff barriers. Additionally, the estimation of medium- and long-term ripple effects is based on the assumption of mobility in production factors.
Results: The analysis confirms that implementation of the IPEF could lower South Korea's food import prices and diversify the supply chain, providing advantages. However, it also highlights a drawback in which the self-sufficiency rate may decrease if non-tariff barriers are completely eliminated.
Conclusions: The government should actively engage in IPEF negotiations while requiring a more sophisticated approach in order to adjust non-tariff barriers to an appropriate level.
A Data Driven Solution to the Dark Matter Problem
Authors: Hoeneisen Bruce
Published: November 2023

A data driven solution to the dark matter problem is presented. This short and self-contained overview is intended for a wide audience, with full technical details available in the cited references. We present redundant, independent and consistent measurements of the dark matter particle comoving root-mean-square velocity vhrms(1), or equivalently, of the dark matter temperature-to-mass ratio. These measurements agree with the “no freeze-in and no freeze-out” scenario of spin zero dark matter that decouples early on from the Standard Model sector, e.g. spin zero dark matter coupled to the Higgs boson or to the top quark.

The hidden side of syntactic functions in the FFL class
Authors: Blakqori-Salihu Teutë , Gashi Albana
Published: November 2023

The essential objective of this study is to show the importance of creating a good, effective and common strategy to make familiar the syntactic structures of the most difficult expressions of French grammar while respecting its fundamental rules given for a long time. Studying French and its structure and functioning requires a lot of effort on the part of a foreigner. The structure of the French language is based on several fundamental components, without which we would completely lose any tool allowing us to ensure the coherence of the different parts of any sentence; for this reason, we absolutely must put in place a good learning strategy. Our goal is to offer an easy and attractive method to better learn syntactic functions in FFL (French as a Foreign Language) class. The learning of French as a foreign language is guided by a teacher during French language lessons. You learn everything there, starting with the words, learning their forms and meaning, their structures and functions. Finding a syntactic function is not an impossible task. What makes it difficult is that you have to learn to remember it, and this requires great effort for Kosovar students and especially for those whose level of French is not at the highest point, so they need a good strategy resulting from new pedagogies aimed at activating the learner by making him want to learn a syntactic function with a modular representation. To learn a syntactic function well, the learner must already be able to master French perfectly, and this is a key skill. The sole purpose of this article is to provide students with tips to facilitate learning by allowing them to better learn syntactic functions and to recognize, without particular difficulty, their different nuances. This work is mainly based on useful and productive activities that allow students to know exactly what it takes to learn well.
A note on terminology: journalistic discourse and cultural impact in the Romanian written press
Authors: Tomescu Ana-Marina , Ilinca Elena-Cristina
Published: November 2023

In this article, we aim to discuss to what extent the articles published in the Dilema veche journal and on the RFI Roumanie website fall within the classic genres of journalistic writing, or they confirm the idea of a constant renewal of journalistic genres. The media space favors a great diversity of productions, characterized on the one hand by “heterogeneity and permeability” (Zagyi, 2011: 159) and on the other hand by interactivity since the reader has the possibility of reacting or commenting. Taking into account this context, our objective is to identify the evolution, the formal changes and the diversity of this type of articles, which tend to be adapted to the characteristics of the online written press. In the second part of our study, we will focus on the perception of a cultural event related to the Goncourt prix and its influence on Romanian cultural news.
Typing of the Homokhát settlements with factor- and cluster analysis
Authors: Szombathelyi Sándor
Published: November 2023

With the passing of time, it is sometimes necessary and useful to re-examine “classic” themes and territories. In my view, such a theme is the restructuring of rural economy, and such a territory is Homokhátság. Unfortunately, the territory under investigation mostly only receives attention during summer droughts, when the lack of water is so severe, that farm fields, or even gardens, may not be watered. The explored economic and social processes are most certainly also affected by the lack of water, but unravelling the relationship between these two processes is not the subject of this writing. My goal is to shed light on those phenomena, in which the restructuring of the rural economy is manifested. It may well be that we do not obtain an epoch-marking result, or one which is surprising, but I consider it important to “keep our fingers on the wrist of Homokhátság and to check its pulse”. In my opinion it is also important we do, because it true for regional science statement of Herakleitosz, what is; the only constant is change.

Literackie i folklorystyczne paralele fresku z egzonarteksu katolikonu w Monasterze Rylskim
Authors: Minczew Georgi
Published: November 2023

Artykuł omawia relację ‘tekst ikonograficzny – tekst literacki – wiara ludowa’, ilustrowaną kilkoma artefaktami należącymi do różnych sfer kulturowych: freskiem odrodzeniowym, kilkoma utworami pseudokanonicznymi będącymi w użytku liturgicznym, jak też zapisami folklorystycznymi świadków angelofanii podczas nabożeństwa. Przeanalizowana została kompozycja fresku „Aniołowie zapisują imiona wchodzących i wychodzących z cerkwi” z otwartego narteksu katolikonu Monasteru Rylskiego w Bułgarii (1846 r.) w porównaniu z innymi postbyzantyńskimi freskami z tej liminalnej części świątyni prawosławnej, tekstami kanonicznymi (opowiadania z Paterykonu, Cuda Przenajświętszej Bogurodzicy S. Bakaczicia), pseudokanonicznymi (ludowe komentarze do liturgii), pieśni ludowe oraz memoraty o angelofaniach podczas nabożeństwa z terytorium południowej Bułgarii. Przeanalizowany materiał jest ilustracją tezy, iż późnośredniowieczna i odrodzeniowa kultura Słowian bałkańskich (XVI–XIX w.) stanowi złożony zespół współoddziałujących tekstów literackich, ikonograficznych i folklorystycznych, tworzących wspólną wizję świata i zbawienia.

Между «полезным» и «неполезным» чтением: М. И. Воскресенский на пути к “Евгению Онегину” А. С. Пушкина
Authors: Вершинина Наталья
Published: November 2023

В статье на материале стихотворного романа М. И. Воскресенского Евгений Вельский» (1828–1832) прослеживается типология движения литературы «второго ряда» к освоению классической словесности – средствами пародии и подражания, с одной стороны, и лирической переработки материала – с другой. Развивается мысль о закономерности неоднозначной рецепции Евгения Онегина А. С. Пушкина в его «двойнике» – Евгении Вельском М. И. Воскресенского. Показано, что таким образом получает развитие концепция проф. Э. Малэк о «контрапунктном» движении литературы XVII–XVIII вв. «от пользы к забаве и утехе». «Разделение» писательских предпочтений на области «серьезной» и «развлекательной» словесности оказывается «затруднительным» в рамках процесса развития классики и беллетристики в их постоянном взаимодействии.

Internal Versus External Pelvimetry: A Validation Study With Clinical Implications
Authors: Frémondière Pierre , Servat Estelle
Published: November 2023

INTRODUCTION:Investigating the correlations between external pelvimetry variables and actual birth canal dimensions has important implications for clinical practice, especially for predicting dystocia. This validation study tests external and internal pelvimetry correlations.

METHODS:This single-centered retrospective study included 142 women with records of computed tomography pelvimetry. The correlations between four internal variables (obstetric conjugate, transverse diameters of inlet, midplane, and outlet) and five external variables (intertrochanteric, inter anterosuperior iliac spines, external conjugate, transverse diagonal, and prepubic) were first studied individually. Then, the correlations between each internal variable and the seven external variables were jointly evaluated after adjusting for body mass index.

RESULTS:As expected, the external conjugate correlated with the obstetric conjugate (r= .65;p< .01) but only weakly with the transverse outlet (r= .21;p< .05). In the simple correlation analysis, the intertrochanteric measure is also correlated with the transverse inlet (TRi), midplane (TRm), and outlet (TRo;r =.542–.672). The transverse diagonal measure marginally correlated with the TRi (r= .29;p< .01). In the multiple regression models, the intertrochanteric measure is associated with the TRi, TRm, and TRo, while the transverse diagonal is associated with the TRi (B= .27;p= .01). The prepubic diameter was not a predictor of birth canal dimensions in either simple or multiple regression models.

CONCLUSION:Our study confirms that the reduction of the birth canal in some dimensions (i.e., obstetric conjugate and transverse diameters) is predictable with external, accessible pelvic diameters (e.g., external conjugate, transverse diagonal, and intertrochanteric).
A galeria 512 do MoMA
Authors: Gonçalves Yacy-Ara Froner , Gontijo Bruno Henrique Fernandes
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo pretende discutir o processo de formação de discursos e construção de narrativas no âmbito de projetos expográficos museais voltados aos movimentos de arte latino-americanos. Essa análise será realizada à luz do que Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) denominou de “mal de arquivo” (1995), em diálogo com o conceito de imaginação curatorial, conforme pensado por André Malraux (1901-1976) em Le Musée Imaginaire, de 1947. O referencial teórico concernente às noções de coleções e colecionismo será obtido a partir do texto “O Colecionador”, de Walter Benjamin (2009). Por meio da interlocução com esses autores e através de uma reflexão autoral, o texto propõe uma análise da Galeria 512, atualmente em exposição no The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), em Nova Iorque, questionando e revendo a narrativa reiterada que conecta os artistas concretos latino-americanos a Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), por meio do descolamento dos conceitos pré-concebidos.

Oxidative stress is one of the primary instigators of the onset of various human ailments, including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia. Particularly, oxidative stress has a severe effect on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, leading to several detrimental health effects. Thereof, in this study, the effect of beeswax alcohol (BWA) was evaluated to prevent LDL oxidation, enhancement of paraoxonase 1 (PON-1) activity of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and zebrafish embryo survivability. Furthermore, the implication of BWA consumption on the oxidative plasma variables was assessed by a preliminary clinical study on middle and older human subjects (n=50). Results support BWA augmentation of PON-1 activity in a dose-dependent manner (10-30 μM), which was significantly better them the effect exerted by coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Moreover, BWA significantly curtails CuSO4 (final 0.5 μM) evoked LDL/apo-B oxidation and a marked reduction of lipid peroxidation in LDL. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed a healing effect of BWA towards the restoration of LDL morphology and size impaired by the exposure of Cu2+ ions (final 0.5 μM). Additionally, BWA counter carboxymethyllysine (CML, 500 ng) induced toxicity and rescued zebrafish embryos from development deformities and apoptotic cell death. A completely randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled preliminary clinical study on middle and older-aged human subjects (n=50) exhibited that 12 weeks of BWA (100 mg/day) supplementation efficiently diminished serum malondialdehyde (MDA), total hydroperoxides, and enhanced total antioxidant status by 25%, 27%, and 22%, respectively, compared to the placebo control and baseline values. Furthermore, the consumption of BWA did not exhibit any noteworthy changes in anthropometric profile, lipid profile, glucose levels, and biomarkers pertinent to kidney and liver function, thus confirming the safety of BWA for consumption. Conclusively, BWA prevents LDL oxidation, enhances PON-1 activity in HDL, and has a positive impact on the oxidative variables of human subjects.
Bim-Based Life Cycle Assessment of Embodied Carbon and Environmental Impacts of High-Rise Building Structures: A Case Study
Authors: Ma Lijian , Azari Rahman , Elnimeiri Mahjoub
Published: November 2023

High-rise buildings represent technological, urban and life-style trends of the modern urban landscape, yet there are limited data regarding their embodied carbon and environmental impacts, particularly when compared to low- or mid-rise buildings. Given that the projected growth of the global urban population by 2050 requires cities with higher density and potentially greater number of high-rise buildings, it is crucial to develop a clear understanding of the embodied carbon and environmental impacts of high-rise buildings. This article utilizes the building in-formation modelling (BIM) based life cycle assessment (LCA) in Revit and Tally to examine the embodied carbon and environmental impacts of an actual high-rise building structure case-study in Chicago that uses hybrid concrete steel structure. The results show that the embodied carbon and environmental impacts of the high-rise building structure are dominated by the impacts of the product stage in the building life cycle, and concrete as the main structural material. Specifically, this study reveals that concrete constitutes a substantial 91% share of the total mass of the building structure, with 74% contribution to life cycle global warming potential, 53% to acidification po-tential, 74% to eutrophication potential, 74% to smog formation potential, and 68% to non-renewable energy. On the other hand, steel accounts for 9% of the building structure mass, estimated to constitute 26% of the global warming potential, 47% to acidification potential, 26% to eutrophication potential, 26% to smog formation potential, and 32% to non-renewable energy.

The rapid growth in the number of interconnected devices on the Internet (referred to as the Internet of Things – IoT), along with the huge volume of data that are exchanged and processed, has created a new landscape in network design and operation. Due to the limited battery size and computational capabilities of IoT nodes, data processing usually takes place on external devices. Since latency minimization is a key concept in modern era networks, edge servers that are in close proximity to IoT nodes gather and process related data, while in some cases data offloading in the cloud might have to take place. The interconnection of a vast number of heterogeneous IoT devices with the edge servers and the cloud, where IoT, edge and cloud converge to form a computing continuum, is also known as IoT-edge-cloud (IEC) continuum. Several key challenges are associated with this new computing systems architectural approach, including: i) design of connection and programming protocols aimed at properly manipulating a huge number of heterogeneous devices over diverse infrastructures; ii) design of efficient task offloading algorithms aimed at optimizing services execution; iii) support for security and privacy enhancements during data transfer to deal with the existent and even unforeseen attacks and threats landscape; iv) scalability, flexibility and reliability guarantees to face the expected mobility for IoT systems, and; v) design of optimal resource allocation mechanisms to make the most out of the available resources. These challenges become even more significant towards the new era of sixth generation (6G) networks, which will be based on the integration of various cutting edge heterogeneous technologies. Therefore, the goal of this survey paper is to present all recent developments in the field of IEC continuum systems, with respect to the aforementioned deployment challenges. In the same context, potential limitations and future challenges are highlighted as well. Finally, indicative use cases are also presented, from an IEC continuum perspective.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: Chylothorax is a relatively rare condition of lymphatic fluid accumulation in the thoracic cavity due to a leakage from the thoracic duct or its tributaries. Patients present with dyspnea, malnutrition, and immunosuppression. Treatment can be conservative or surgical, depending on etiology and clinical course. The optimal management algorithm for chylothorax is still controversial. Methods: This is a retrospective study of all patients with chylothorax treated at our Department of Thoracic Surgery during the 10-year period. Results: A total of 14 patients were identified for the study. Nine patients had chylothorax after lung or esophageal cancer surgery. Four patients had chylothorax in advanced lymphoma. One patient had chylothorax after blunt chest trauma. A conservative approach was initiated in most patients (92%), including pleural drainage, nil per mouth, total parenteral nutrition, and somatostatin 0.1 mg bid subcutaneously. Surgical treatment was indicated in patients with thoracic drain production >800 mL per day beyond the fifth day of treatment and those with blunt thoracic trauma. Two patients had thoracic duct ligation via right-sided thoracotomy, and five patients had video-assisted thoracoscopic thoracic duct ligation with the immediate arrest of chylous leakage. Conclusion: Chylothorax should be treated conservatively initially. Surgical treatment should not be delayed in case of failure beyond the fifth day. In our series of patients, a video-assisted thoracoscopic approach for thoracic duct ligation proved to be minimally invasive, highly efficient, and well tolerated by patients and, therefore, should be the preferable route of surgical treatment.

Case:

A 13-year-old adolescent boy with spastic triplegia was referred to our institution with a thumb-in-palm deformity. An intramuscular slide of the flexor pollicis longus and augmentation of the weak abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis longus, and extensor pollicis brevis by tendon transfer were performed. Two years later, the result of the surgery was evaluated as excellent.

Conclusion:

There are several factors that will play a decisive role in the final outcome and effectiveness of hand surgery, such as the severity of the neuromuscular disorder, the extent of the deformity, the quality of voluntary muscle control, hand sensibility, and the age and intelligence of the patient.

In the modern educational context the problem of plagiarism is urgent and requires the development of effective methods of detection and prevention of this phenomenon. The application of authorship identification methods in the field of student plagiarism detection is considered. Different check, detect and analyze plagiarism approaches in various works are investigated. Both classical methods, which include text comparison and similarity search, and modern methods based on machine learning algorithms, as well as their combination and potential modifications, are considered. The advantages and limitations of each method are also discussed, and recommendations are given for choosing one or another approach according to the specific requirements of the research.

Special attention is paid to such modern methods as metadata analysis and the application of neural networks. Stylistic analysis reveals authorial peculiarities such as word choice, preferred wording, and even punctuation. Lexical and syntactic models are used to identify repetitive phrases and structures that may indicate plagiarism. Statistical methods can identify anomalies in the use of words and phrases, and machine learning can create models to calculate the probability of plagiarism based on large amounts of data.

Ultimately, an comparison of authorship identification techniques in the field of student plagiarism detection is provided, which aims to provide valuable information about different approaches and their applicability, and to help researchers and educators develop effective strategies for detecting and preventing plagiarism in educational environments.
A VUELTAS CON LA DISOCIACIÓN ENTRE EL PODER DE REPRESENTACIÓN Y EL PODER DE GESTIÓN DEL ÓRGANO DE ADMINISTRACIÓN MANCOMUNADO

En atención a los datos que recoge la Memoria Estadística del año 2018 elaborada por el Registro Mercantil Central1, la estructura de órgano de administración por el que con diferencia más optan las Sociedades Anónimas (60%) y de Responsabilidad Limitada (74%) es el unipersonal, esto es, el administrador único. Por su parte, la administración mancomunada, de entre los distintos modos que permite la ley de organizar la administración, queda relegada a último lugar en cuanto a forma de administración elegida (sólo un2% en las SA y un 4% en las SL).

Published: November 2023

Al igual que en 2012, cuando tuvo lugar la muy bullada operación de aumento de capital de Enersis, su controlador Enel vuelve a proponer una operación que provoca polémica en el mercado chileno. Enersis SA es una sociedad matriz surgida a partir de la privatización de Endesa Chile (ex generadora eléctrica estatal) y Chilectra (ex distribuidora eléctrica estatal). Enersis SA es actualmente controlada por Enel, una sociedad italiana, a través de su control de Enel Latinoamércia SA y Enel Iberoamércia SRL, sociedades españolas, ex Endesa España. La operación propuesta es una división (“spin-off”) tanto de Enersis SA, como de sus filiales productivas, Endesa y Chilectra, con la finalidad de desprender a estas tres empresas de sus activos en latinoamérica.
