CONSIDERAÇÕES INICIAIS PARA A PROPOSTA DE UM ÍNDICE DE INTERPRETABILIDADE EM IMAGENS
Authors: Teixeira Alexandre José Almeida , Barros Rafael Silva de , Cruz Carla Bernadete Madureira 
Published: November 2022

A proposta desse trabalho é apresentar e discutir o conceito de interpretabilidade de imagens orbitais usadas para a produção de base cartográfica de referência. Nesse contexto, entende-se por interpretabilidade a adequação de uma imagem para finalidade de interpretação, de forma que seu conteúdo permita a detecção e identificação de objetos sobre a superfície terrestre. Apesar da evolução da automatização de processos para a extração de feições a partir de imagens, a análise visual de um intérprete ainda é necessária para se interpretar os elementos cartográficos e adequá-los às especificações técnicas. Em termos geométricos e de interpretação, busca-se detalhar mais o conhecimento sobre as questões que são determinantes para se definir que sensores são adequados para se atingir à exatidão geométrica e temática esperada para uma dada escala cartográfica. De forma geral, quando as imagens atendem a exigências de exatidão posicional para uma determinada escala, dificilmente oferecem condições satisfatórias para a extração de feições nessa mesma escala. Isto leva Ã reflexão de que as exatidões posicional e temática de imagens não indicam, necessariamente, uma mesma escala de análise. Além da avaliação da exatidão posicional de uma imagem, a possibilidade de gerar um índice de interpretabilidade pode auxiliar na escolha de insumos mais adequados para a produção cartográfica. Para finalizar, este trabalho esmiúça o conhecimento sobre questões centrais na definição de sensores mais apropriados para se alcançar a exatidão prevista para uma dada escala cartográfica.

Published: November 2022

Inundações são processos naturais, inerentes à dinâmica ï¬‚uvial. Ao longo da história humana, este processo tem inï¬‚uenciado positivamente e negativamente a sociedade. Quando esta inï¬‚uência é negativa, ocorrem desastres hidrológicos. Uma das mais importantes medidas preventivas dos desastres hidrológicos é a identiï¬cação e mapeamento de áreas de susceptibilidade. O objetivo deste trabalho, portanto, foi testar a aplicabilidade do modelo Height Above the Nearest Drainage (HAND) para o mapeamento de áreas susceptíveis a inundação no município de Igrejinha-RS e avaliar a inï¬‚uência da área mínima de contribuição e da resolução do modelo digital de terreno (MDT) sobre o desempenho do HAND. Foi utilizado um MDT de 2,5 m o qual foi posteriormente reamostrado para as resoluções de 5 m, 10 m, 25 m e 50 m. Os mapas obtidos foram validados por meio da comparação com pontos amostrais em locais historicamente inundados. Os resultados da aplicação do HAND demonstraram bom ajuste espacial com as amostras de campo, mas grande sensibilidade a diferentes valores de área mínima de contribuição para iniciar um canal. Em relação Ã resolução espacial, o HAND foi menos sensível, apresentando diferença na área inundada com o MDT de 50 m. Os resultados obtidos aï¬ rmam o HAND é uma ferramenta útil para mapeamento de áreas susceptíveis à inundação, principalmente em locais onde há ausência de monitoramento hidrológico.

Authors: Motta Renan Rodrigues da , Fortes Luiz Paulo Souto 
Published: November 2022

A técnica de Posicionamento por Ponto Preciso (PPP) em modo pós-processado tem sido largamente utilizada como alternativa ao posicionamento relativo. Com a disponibilidade em tempo real de correções às órbitas e relógios dos satélites GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) através do IGS, tornou-se possível implementar esta técnica em sua modalidade em tempo real (RTPPP). O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade do posicionamento cinemático utilizando o RTPPP. Para tanto, foram coletados dados GNSS por um receptor de duas frequências, instalado em uma estação de referência e conectado a um computador com acesso Ã Internet para receber os ï¬‚uxos de correções às órbitas e relógios dos satélites GPS e GLONASS disponibilizados pelo IBGE referidos ao SIRGAS2000. Exatidões de 3 a 25 cm em latitude, 10 a 44 cm em longitude e 10 a 59 cm em altitude foram obtidas em tempo real com o software BNC, dependendo das constelações utilizadas (GPS ou GPS+GLONASS) e do período do dia da sessão de observação.
CARACTERÍSTICAS CLIMATOLÓGICAS SAZONAIS E SUB-SAZONAIS ASSOCIADAS AOS INCÊNDIOS DE 2005 NO ACRE

Published: November 2022

Este estudo teve por objetivo detalhar aspectos climáticos relacionados ao período de seca que acarretou nos grandes incêndios ocorridos no Acre, durante a estação seca (junho a setembro) de 2005. Um aspecto original deste estudo foi a avaliação da variabilidade climática sub-sazonal. A avaliação dos padrões anômalos de variáveis climáticas relevantes mostrou que associações consistentes entre a superfície e a atmosfera que determinaram a severidade da estiagem de 2005. Primeiro, houve um pré-condicionamento dado que a estação chuvosa imediatamente anterior (2004-2005) foi deficiente. Segundo, os volumes de precipitação durante a estação seca de 2005 foram irrisórios, com a maior parte do estado experimentando menos de 50% da chuva esperada na estação, e algumas regiões, principalmente no leste acreano, com menos de 25%. Em uma perspectiva histórica, a estação seca de 2005 classificou-se como a menos chuvosa na série 1998 a 2014. Considerando-se uma média para toda a estação seca, a umidade relativa do ar apresentou anomalias negativas, devido a um transporte anômalo, contrário ao fluxo climatológico, de ar mais seco das latitudes mais ao sul para o sudoeste da Amazônia. De forma consistente com o déficit de umidade na atmosfera, a umidade do solo (modelo de balanço hídrico) também apresentou anomalias negativas durante a estação seca de 2005. O panorama sazonal de anomalias negativas de umidade relativa, foi resultante de dois ciclos sub-sazonais nos quais a umidade relativa do ar apresentou declínio acentuado e posterior recuperação, intercalados por um período de aproximadamente 20 dias de relativa normalidade. Em cada um destes ciclos foram atingidos valores mínimos extremos (inferiores a 1% dos mínimos da série de 1998 a 2014). Estes mínimos extremos de umidade relativa aparentam estar associados a condições mais persistentes de estiagem, condições estas que são sucedidas por um aumento de queimadas e/ou maior alastramento de incêndios. Os dois ciclos sub-sazonais mostraram associação com os movimentos de subsidência atmosférica de grande escala. Este mecanismo de subsidência mostrou-se associado com pulsos de atividade inibidora intensificada que se propagaram do Oceano Pacífico para a região do estado do Acre, de forma análoga Ã Oscilação de Madden-Julian.

Published: November 2022

There is a need for the agricultural technical vocational education and training curriculum in Zimbabwe to be reformed so that it can respond to changes in farmer demographics, the expanding roles of agricultural extension officers (AEOs), changes in technology and climate change. The current agriculture curriculum was developed for a different context altogether; therefore, it now lacks relevance to the prevailing socio-economic, political and environmental changes. There is a need for the curriculum to respond to the evolving needs of farmers, AEOs and institutions providing agricultural extension, and to match the changes in AEOs’ occupation role profiles. This article draws on curricular documents from five institutions involved in the agricultural extension curriculum and policy, together with 22 respondents, with the aim of exposing gaps in the agricultural extension curriculum. In addition, the article explores the ways in which the curriculum can be reimagined to meet the needs of small-scale farmers, AEOs and emerging agricultural developments and digital technologies. The authors advance what might be the processes of change in the curriculum, highlighting the weaknesses of the current curriculum as well as what a more responsive curriculum for Zimbabwe should look like in the light of both local and international expectations. In so doing, it contributes to a wider international debate about agricultural education reform.
Data analysis-based time series forecast for managing household electricity consumption
Authors: Bezzar Nour El-Houda , Laimeche Lakhdar , Meraoumia Abdallah , Houam Lotfi 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Recently, electricity consumption forecasting has attracted much research due to its importance in our daily life as well as in economic activities. This process is seen as one of the ways to manage future electricity needs, including anticipating the supply-demand balance, especially at peak times, and helping the customer make real-time decisions about their consumption. Therefore, based on statistical techniques (ST) and/or artificial intelligence (AI), many forecasting models have been developed in the literature, but unfortunately, in addition to poor choice of the appropriate model, time series datasets were used directly without being seriously analyzed. In this article, we have proposed an efficient electricity consumption prediction model that takes into account the shortcomings mentioned earlier. Therefore, the database was analyzed to address all anomalies such as non-numeric values, aberrant, and missing values. In addition, by analyzing the correlation between the data, the possible periods for forecasting electricity consumption were determined. The experimental results carried out on the Individual Household Electricity Power Consumption dataset showed a clear superiority of the proposed model over most of the ST and/or AI-based models proposed in the literature.
Resonance in a Theopoetics of Practice in Practical Theology
Authors: Olsman Erik 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The objective of this study is to describe resonance as concept in a theopoetics of practice in practical theology. Resonance is the vibration that takes place when practitioners (1) sense a deep relation with practice, frequently at a pre-verbal level, (2) recognize the alterity of the other and are willing to be transformed by it, and (3) use poetics to redescribe a practice in which reality itself may appear as resonance. Resonance is exemplified in chaplaincy and lived religion. I conclude that resonance should be part of a theopoetics of practice in practical theology because it helps to sense the sacred and make sense of the sacred.
QCOB: a novel QPSK coherent optical OFDM modulation technique for mitigation of fiber impairments
Authors: Kaushik Vikas , Saini Himanshi 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Modern optical communication heavily relies on coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) modulation. But the usage of optical OFDM for fiber optic communication is still constrained in comparison to other modes of communication like visible light communication (VLC) and wireless communication due to a number of issues such as various sorts of fiber impairments including dispersion and attenuation. In this research paper, a novel optical OFDM modulation technique has been proposed. It is quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) CO-OFDM modulation with Bessel optical filter in fiber optical link and is named as QCOB. This modulation technique works for optical fiber transmission. Its testing has been carried out for parameters like bit error rate (BER) and quality-factor (Q-factor) over a range of fiber length, fiber dispersion coefficient and input power. This modulation employs coherent optical OFDM with QPSK for subcarrier modulation. The optical link utilizes a Bessel optical filter. Improved results have been achieved over conventional QPSK CO-OFDM (QCO). The obtained results demonstrate the superiority of the QCOB technique in terms of performance enhancement and fiber impairment reduction. In comparison to the QCO technique, the BER performance (reduction in BER) of the QCOB technique shows an improvement of around 7.4, 100, 14.4, 46.4 and 3.4% for dispersion coefficient values of 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100 (in ps/nm-km), respectively.
Authors of Slender Means? Female Authorship in Mid-Twentieth-Century British Fiction
Authors: Berensmeyer Ingo 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article examines women writers as characters in British novels and stories by women writers from the 1940s to the early 1960s. In works by Muriel Spark, Elizabeth Taylor, Mary Renault, and others, there is a reflection on the social and artistic positions available to female authors. Given the gender segregation of the literary field at mid-century, in which ‘womanly’ writing was associated with the commercial form of romance and ‘manly’ writing with seriousness, the predicament of female authorship is rarely explored in fiction. But when it is, fictional women authors point up the constraints and limits of a ‘feminine’ literary aesthetic in illuminating ways. The article reconstructs how mid-twentieth-century British women authors thought about the act of writing, how they viewed the fields of literary creation and production, and which narrative strategies they used to negotiate this difficult terrain.
Crossing the Walls: Reading Doris Lessing’s The Memoirs of a Survivor as a Hopeful Dystopia
Authors: Garić Vanja Vukićević , Živković Predrag 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Lessing’s short novel The Memoirs of a Survivor encapsulates all the dominant narrative, political, and philosophical preoccupations of its prolific author. Straddling the genres of socio-realistic dystopia and post-apocalyptic fantasy, it self-consciously reflects on many questions relevant to contemporary readers. Drawing on the main premises of postmodern poetics, particularly on its ontological concerns, and on more recent theories about new ‘critical dystopias’ in literature, this article points to the multi-layered utopian aspects present at different levels of the text. Moreover, applying philosophical and sociological concepts of Jean Baudrillard to the interpretation of Lessing’s symbolic and narrative strategies, such as his notion of the alienation of death in capitalist society, the article shows how this novel can be read not only as a critique of materialist culture and a study of deprivation and isolation with serious psychological and civilizational consequences, but also as a hopeful play with ontological borders implied in the imaginative rethinking of our private and shared realities.
Heterotopic Spaces as Pathways to Discovering Transcultural Self in Brian Castro’s Shanghai Dancing and Birds of Passage
Authors: Savitskaya Anna 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This essay seeks to explore the role of heterotopic spaces in the formation of transcultural self and belonging in Brian Castro’s novels Shanghai Dancing and Birds of Passage. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s initial idea of heterotopia, which relates to fictional representations of semi-mythical places, my argument aims at investigating the process of discovering one’s cultural identity within heterotopic spaces, the spaces capable of juxtaposing elements incompatible in time or character. Focusing on textual heterotopias and heterotopias of memory in literary texts, this work examines how Brian Castro employs this concept to depict the intricacies of identity formation in his narratives. Thus, I set out to examine how heterotopic spaces in these two narratives open up a path towards understanding transcultural selfhood.
Improvements in Test Procedure and Data Reduction for the Borehole Erosion Test
Authors: Shidlovskaya Anna , Bahmani Mostafa , Briaud Jean-Louis , Chen Hamn-Ching 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
As the use of the borehole erosion test (BET) is increasing worldwide, lessons are being learned and procedures are being updated and refined. This article presents new developments including a more detailed field-testing procedure and recommendations, more advanced numerical simulations with the mesh morphing technique, an expanded data reduction process that now includes the computation of the borehole wall shear stress, more comparisons with the erosion function apparatus (EFA) laboratory test, the difference between using water and drilling mud, and advantages and limitations of the BET. The numerical simulations give the velocity and shear stress fields on and near the borehole wall associated with the water flow. They show how the bottom BET is like an in situ jet test while the lateral BET is a vertical hole erosion test. They also show that the bottom two diameters of the borehole flow do not develop a steady shear stress on the wall and should not be used. The data reduction process is expanded to include the profile of the shear stress on the borehole wall using simplifying assumptions. The comparison between the BET and the EFA indicates that the BET gives a soil erosion resistance higher than the EFA does; this may be attributed to sample disturbance for the EFA and testing under favorable in situ stresses for the BET. Two parallel BETs, one with water and one with drilling mud, shows 10 % more erosion with water than with the drilling mud. The main advantage of the BET is soil erodibility profiling through the borehole radius versus depth profile. The BET is not as useful to determine the erosion functions of the soil stratigraphy but more useful in identifying which layers are more susceptible to erosion. The BET profile helps to identify the location of samples for erosion laboratory testing.
Robot-Assisted Gravity Offloading Testing of Aerospace Structures

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The demand for testing aerospace structures on Earth before they are launched into space has led to the development of equipment that is able to simulate orbit conditions, namely zero gravity. Several passive solutions have been proposed to perform offloading testing on Earth. However, they present limitations and lack the flexibility normally required by the complexity of the pathways. Active zero gravity emulation systems have been developed to mitigate the difficulties of the passive ones. Moreover, the emergence of robotic arms with the ability to perform complex and easily reprogrammable motion and force-controlled trajectories has opened the possibility of creating robot-based gravity compensation systems. This paper proposes and evaluates a solution for the gravity offloading testing of space devices based on currently available industrial robots. This solution takes advantage of the functionalities of collaborative robots, namely built-in force controllers, together with custom auxiliary subsystems. A setup was arranged to allow the communication between the robot controller and a computer running an internet of things (IoT) platform based on Node-RED so as to connect and control all components of the offloading system. Multiple robot control techniques were designed and tested based on several approaches employing impedance control functionalities and sensing data to create a closed-loop system. The results obtained are within the validation criteria, creating conditions to affirm for the application in question that the gravity compensation was achieved with success using the robot.
