Authors: Wilderom Chagas Mariana Martinez , Rubio Longo Marlon 
Published: November 2023

The paper aims to discuss two experiences of urban intervention in São Paulo and Medellín – PIU Arco Tietê and Macroproyecto Río Sur. Both projects propose to transform the territorial dynamics (economic and socio-spatial) in their respective cities, by using urban instruments which are crucial part of the municipal and metropolitan plans. The study was developed in three research axes, dedicated to the analysis of the intervention areas, to understand how both projects participate in the structure of urban plans and the specificities of the applied urban instruments. The transversal analysis of these topics has demonstrated the similarities and challenges for the operationalization of these projects in the Latin American context, considering the urban instruments and design tools that supported them.

Published: November 2023

Urban rivers have become emerging territories due to the aggressive and polluting practices to which they are subjected, generating multiple impacts and risk scenarios. In this sense, paying attention to the voice of the local community is a category of analysis rarely used in decision-making, but it provides local knowledge for the development of more participatory and territorial solutions. Therefore, the study emphasizes integrating the local perspective, the preferences of the community and the places of value. Methodologically, the work is resolved from an ethnographic approach with observation visits, photographs and the dissemination of a virtual geo-form; These data were processed by a Participatory GIS, for the development of social cartographies. The results show the distribution of positive and negative value zones applied to the Zamora and Malacatos urban rivers in the city of Loja - Ecuador, together with the viability of the social and methodological approach as a planning tool.
Los ríos urbanos se han convertido en territorios emergentes debido a las prácticas agresivas y contaminantes a las que se encuentran sometidos, generando múltiples impactos y escenarios de riesgo. En este sentido, prestar atención a la voz de la comunidad local resulta una categoría de análisis poco utilizada en la toma de decisiones, pero capaz de aportar conocimiento local hacia el desarrollo de soluciones más participativas y con base en el lugar. Por lo que el estudio pone el acento en integrar la perspectiva local, las preferencias de la comunidad y los lugares de valor. Metodológicamente, el trabajo se resuelve desde una aproximación etnográfica con visitas de observación, fotografías y la difusión de geo-formulario virtual, datos se procesaron con un SIG Participativo para el desarrollo de cartografías sociales. Los resultados muestran la distribución de las zonas de valor positivo y negativo aplicadas a los ríos urbanos Zamora y Malacatos en la ciudad de Loja – Ecuador, junto a la viabilidad del enfoque social y mapeo participativo como herramientas de planificación.
A área conurbada de Curitiba e suas características sintáticas: centro topológico, centralidades e eixos de mobilidade
Authors: Peichó Anabelli Simões 
Published: November 2023

The Theory of Space Syntax (SST) aims to relate the built environment to the movement of people. Its main premise, defended as the Theory of Natural Movement (NM), is that the configuration of space directly influences not only the movement of people, but also the location of attractors (commerce, services, job offers) and vice versa. Although widely disseminated in academic and professional circles, there are still many problems in the processing and reading of analyses, resulting from issues in the construction of the input database, the so-called “axial maps”. Thus, the objective of this work is to provide a tutorial to support other researches, presenting a step-by-step guide from the correct design of axial lines to analysis processing. The selected area of study used was the Conurbada Area of ​​Curitiba and the Integration and Choice analyzes were made, the most recurrent in the theory in relation to urban planning. In addition, some comparisons were made with data from the 2010 IBGE Census, such as density and income. The results corroborate the assumptions of NM: where there is a greater concentration of people, there are also better configurational properties. However, the relationship of these concentrations in relation to the system as a whole indicates that the Conurbated Area of ​​Curitiba has segregation properties and that there is no urban accessibility for all social strata.
A Teoria da Sintaxe Espacial (TSE) tem por objetivo relacionar o ambiente construído com a movimentação de pessoas. Sua premissa principal, defendida como a Teoria do Movimento Natural (TMN), é de que a configuração do espaço influencia diretamente não apenas na movimentação de pessoas, mas também na localização de atratores (comércio, serviços, oferta de empregos) e vice-versa. Embora amplamente difundida em meios acadêmicos e profissionais, ainda ocorrem muitos problemas no processamento e na leitura de análises, decorrentes de deslizes na construção da base de dados de entrada, os chamados “mapas axiais”. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho é fornecer um tutorial de apoio para outras pesquisas, apresentando um passo-a-passo desde o desenho correto das linhas axiais ao processamento de análises. O recorte utilizado foi a Área Conurbada de Curitiba e foram realizadas as análises de Integração e Escolha, as mais recorrentes da teoria em relação ao planejamento urbano. Além disso, foram feitos alguns comparativos com dados do Censo IBGE 2010, como de densidade e renda. Os resultados corroboram com as premissas da TMN: onde há maior concentração de pessoas há também melhores propriedades configuracionais. Entretanto a relação dessas concentrações em relação ao sistema como um todo indica que a Área Conurbada de Curitiba possui propriedades de segregação e que não há acessibilidade urbana para todas as camadas sociais.

Published: November 2023

In a Metropolitan Area (MA), the impacts of urban informality are visible not only in the municipality in which irregular occupations are located, but also in the neighboring ones, especially when these irregularities directly affect their Public Functions of Common Interest, such as environment, land use and sanitation. The lack of infrastructure in the informal city may damage the environment and the water resources that supply a given MA, such as the MA of Curitiba, where about 31% of the urban area is affected by watersheds of public supply. Moreover, the lack of Metropolitan Governance corroborates the emergence of these problems. This research aims to comprehend the role of the Coordination of the Metropolitan Area of Curitiba (Comec) in the processes of urban land regularization related to fountainheads for water supply. For this purpose, we use a qualitative approach that comprehends documentary survey of plans, legislations and technical documents issued by Comec, in addition to a quantitative survey of the situation of irregular occupations in areas of watersheds of public supply in three municipalities. The results indicate that the socio-environmental guidelines proposed in the Integrated Development Plan were not sufficient for Comec to fully participate in those processes.
Em uma Região Metropolitana (RM), observam-se os efeitos da informalidade urbana não somente no município em que as ocupações irregulares estão inseridas, mas também em seus municípios limítrofes, principalmente quando essas irregularidades incidem diretamente em suas Funções Públicas de Interesse Comum (FPICs), tais como: meio ambiente, uso do solo e saneamento. A ausência de infraestrutura da cidade informal, agravada pela ausência de uma Governança Metropolitana, pode ocasionar a degradação ambiental e dos recursos hídricos que abastecem uma RM, como é o caso da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba, onde aproximadamente 31% da área urbana é abrangida por bacias de mananciais de abastecimento público. Diante disso, por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, que compreendeu o levantamento documental de planos, legislações e documentos emitidos pela Coordenação da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba (Comec), combinada ao levantamento quantitativo da situação das ocupações irregulares no manancial em três municípios, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender a atuação desse Órgão nos processos de regularização fundiária urbana em manancial. Como resultado, identifica-se que as diretrizes socioambientais propostas no Plano de Desenvolvimento Integrado (2006) não foram suficientes para uma participação plenamente ativa da Comec nestes processos, o que contribuiu para que o cenário não tivesse grandes melhorias desde então.

The term map, as well as the act of mapping, can be found in different fields of knowledge. Its understanding can be conceptualized through a common characteristic: the representation of data in a spatial distribution. The research starts from the premise that conventional maps "blind" or contribute to the difficulty of imagining better possibilities for the urban space, because it can be neglected by the physical scale, by the difficult understanding of everyday relationships. To reflect on the theme, we investigate experiences of mapping that take into consideration the public space as a physical space that supports forms of sociability in a collective way. As an application and methodological test, an experimental proposal is built in the central area of São José dos Pinhais, Paraná. The map is explored as a tool, related to a non-conventional vocabulary, based on databases, metrics and graphic logic that seek to expose possibilities of interpretation. Thus, it is understood that mapping can be used as a potential tool that allows alternating scenarios, reinterpreting reality, and serving as a basis for the proposition of plans and projects that seek to understand and highlight non-visible layers in the territory.
O termo mapa, assim como o ato de mapear, pode ser encontrado em diferentes campos do conhecimento. Seu entendimento pode ser conceituado por meio de uma característica comum: a representação de dados em uma distribuição espacial. A pesquisa parte da premissa que mapas convencionais “cegam” ou contribuem para a dificuldade de imaginar melhores possibilidades para o espaço urbano, pois pode ser negligenciado pela escala física, pela difícil compreensão das relações cotidianas. Visando refletir sobre o tema, investiga-se experiências de mapeamentos que levem em consideração o espaço público como espaço físico que ampara formas de sociabilidade de modo coletivo. Como aplicação e como teste metodológico, constrói-se uma proposta, de caráter experimental, na área central de São José dos Pinhais, Paraná. Explora-se o mapa como uma ferramenta, relacionada a um vocabulário não convencional, fundamentado em base de dados, métricas e lógicas gráficas que buscam expor possibilidades de interpretações. Deste modo, compreendeu-se que o mapeamento pode ser utilizado como uma ferramenta potencial que permite alternar cenários, reinterpretando a realidade e servindo de base para a proposição de planos e projetos que buscam compreender e evidenciar camadas não visíveis no território.

Published: November 2023

Business and entrepreneurship are risky activities, especially for new business people. One of the ideal business incubators is the one created by the campus, which is referred to as the University Business Incubator (UBI). However, it is not easy to ensure that UBI successfully carries out its vision and mission, for that it is necessary to study the Key Success Factors (KPIs) of UBI's success. From the criteria set, 15 articles become the unit of analysis of this literature review research. The results of the review found 7 conclusions. First, there are 3 aspects in making UBI, namely organization, service, and measuring the success of UBI and tenants. Second, important organizational aspects are UBI management, capital support, technology, facilities, ideas, networks, strategies, as well as communication or promotion. Third, the aspect of services to be provided depends on the location of the country and the business character of the tenant. Fourth, the recommended physical services are office space and production space. Non-physical services recommended are training/ consulting/ assistance, capital support, technology, facilities and ideas, networks, strategies, and communication or promotion of tenant products. Fifth, the recommended training areas are business technical, marketing, finance and banking, export-import, law, human resources and product development. Sixth, the role of the academic community can be as experts, sources of business networks, and other support personnel. Seventh, UBI success measurement can be done using financial performance and can be combined with operational performance.

Published: November 2023

Aim: This research focused on post-harvest technology for preserving tea leaves. The research introduces an innovative approach by incorporating an autonomous solar tracker into a flat plate solar collector, strategically optimizing its orientation towards the sun. The solar tracker, a low-cost and fully automatic prototype, plays a pivotal role in maximizing incident solar rays, thereby enhancing the overall energy absorption efficiency of the system at the same time increasing the quality of dried tea leaves.
Methodology: The investigation delves into the realm of indirect solar drying methodologies, with a specific focus on the Sun-Tracking Solar Dryer (STSD). This sophisticated apparatus, engineered through the integration of light-dependent resistors, a wiper DC motor with gearbox, and a microcontroller, was developed within the confines of the Agricultural and Food Engineering department at IIT Kharagpur. Subsequent to its development, the study entails a comparative analysis wherein the position of the absorber in the dryer, as ascertained by the developed prototype, is juxtaposed with the ideal position requisite for optimal solar light incidence. Moreover, an examination of the dried tea leaves produced by the prototype is conducted, involving a comprehensive comparison with those dried using the conventional open sun drying method.
Results: The instantiated prototype demonstrated commendable efficacy in aligning with the ideal position, exhibiting an average deviation of 3.25 degrees. Facilitated by this prototype, the attainment of the targeted moisture content in tea leaves was expedited, culminating 2 hours earlier than the conventional open sun drying method. The resultant dried product manifested a water activity of 0.531 and a DPPH radical scavenging activity of 73.53%, both registering a reduction in comparison to the open sun drying counterpart. Concurrently, the total phenolic content exhibited an increment of 11.48% when contrasted with the open sun drying process.
Conclusion: The affordably developed prototype demonstrated exceptional capabilities in sun tracking, showcasing the promising potential for augmenting the efficiency of conventional flat plate solar collectors. Additionally, its performance in preserving the quality attributes of dried tea leaves was commendable.

A field study was conducted during rabi season of 2022 at Maize Research Centre, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agriculture University, Agricultural Research Institute, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana. The experiment comprised of 12 treatment combinations laid out in a split–plot design with three replications. The main–plot treatments included four different tillage practices:M1-Conventional tillage (Plough + Cultivator + Rotovator), M2-Residue incorporation (After 10 days of spreading the haulms, only rotovator was run), M3- Residue incorporation (After spreading the haulms, microbial consortium was sprayed and after 10 days only rotovator was run) and M4- Zero-tillage (only microbial consortium was sprayed on the haulms). Sub–plot treatments included three nutrient levels: N1- 100% RDF (240-80-80 N-P2O5-K2O kg ha-1), N2: 100% RDN & P and 50% RDK (240-80-40 N-P2O5-K2O kg ha-1), and N3: 87.5% of RDN, 75% RDP and 75% RDK (210-60-60 N-P2O5-K2O kg ha-1). Results revealed that, among the tillage practices, residue incorporation (M3) had recorded significantly higher growth attributes like plant height, leaf area, dry matter production and chlorophyll content (SPAD) at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest stages and yield of maize and it was on par with zero-tillage (M4) whereas all the parameters were significantly lower in conventional tillage (M1). Among the different nutrient levels, N1(100% RDF) had shown significantly superior performance in terms of growth attributes and yield of maize and it was on par with N2 (100% RDN & P and 50% RDK) whereas N3(87.5% of RDN, 75% RDP and 75% RDK) recorded significantly lower growth attributes and yield of maize .The interaction effect due to tillage and nutrient levels on plant height, leaf area, dry matter production, chlorophyll content (SPAD) at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest and yield was non- significant.

ImportanceAccess to routine dental care prevents advanced dental disease and improves oral and overall health. Identifying individuals at risk of foregoing preventive dental care can direct prevention efforts toward high-risk populations.ObjectiveTo predict foregone preventive dental care among adults overall and in sociodemographic subgroups and to assess the algorithmic fairness.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis prognostic study was a secondary analyses of longitudinal data from the US Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) from 2016 to 2019, each with 2 years of follow-up. Participants included adults aged 18 years and older. Data analysis was performed from December 2022 to June 2023.ExposureA total of 50 predictors, including demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, health conditions, behaviors, and health services use, were assessed.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe outcome of interest was foregoing preventive dental care, defined as either cleaning, general examination, or an appointment with the dental hygienist, in the past year.ResultsAmong 32 234 participants, the mean (SD) age was 48.5 (18.2) years and 17 386 participants (53.9%) were female; 1935 participants (6.0%) were Asian, 5138 participants (15.9%) were Black, 7681 participants (23.8%) were Hispanic, 16 503 participants (51.2%) were White, and 977 participants (3.0%) identified as other (eg, American Indian and Alaska Native) or multiple racial or ethnic groups. There were 21 083 (65.4%) individuals who missed preventive dental care in the past year. The algorithms demonstrated high performance, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.84 (95% CI, 0.84-0.85) in the overall population. While the full sample model performed similarly when applied to White individuals and older adults (AUC, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.87-0.90), there was a loss of performance for other subgroups. Removing the subgroup-sensitive predictors (ie, race and ethnicity, age, and income) did not impact model performance. Models stratified by race and ethnicity performed similarly or worse than the full model for all groups, with the lowest performance for individuals who identified as other or multiple racial groups (AUC, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.70-0.81). Previous pattern of dental visits, health care utilization, dental benefits, and sociodemographic characteristics were the highest contributing predictors to the models’ performance.Conclusions and RelevanceFindings of this prognostic study using cohort data suggest that tree-based ensemble machine learning models could accurately predict adults at risk of foregoing preventive dental care and demonstrated bias against underrepresented sociodemographic groups. These results highlight the importance of evaluating model fairness during development and testing to avoid exacerbating existing biases.
