Libertarianism deals with what the law should be. In this article, we focus on what the appropriate law to punish criminals should be in a libertarian society; that is, one that respects the Non-Aggression Principle and property rights. We examine various theories of punishment and explain why some are incompatible with libertarianism. We contribute to the latest libertarian theory of punishment suggesting the necessity to take time preference into consideration. We conclude stating a limit and a limitation to libertarian punishment theories.

The SARS-Cov-2 pandemic has haunted the planet since the year 2020, decimating thousands of people around the world. This moment could be propitious for the world to recognize the value of health professionals, nurses and Nursing. Objective: To analyze scientific productions on the impact of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic on Nursing marketing. Methodology: Integrative literature review, according to the PICo strategy and procedures defined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Databases consulted: Assia_Coronavirus; VHL; CINAHIL; base; PubMed; SciELO; Scopus and WOS. Results: Eleven studies were selected for analysis. Nursing gained the spotlight for its performance. Nursing professionals had little access to adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE); there was a lack of appropriate spaces and resources for assistance and an undersizing of the teams. Brazil led the world ranking of deaths of nursing professionals. The non-recognition of the power of the profession; high working hours, low wages, result in the devaluation of the work of the nurse itself Conclusion: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Nursing was on the front line, which allowed, in a way, greater professional visibility. The unfavorable working conditions, low wages and other challenges faced by nursing professionals indicate that the profession still lacks recognition and that efforts for favorable marketing need to be made. La pandemia del SARS-Cov-2 ha perseguido al planeta desde el año 2020, diezmando a miles de personas en todo el mundo. Este momento puede ser propicio para que el mundo reconozca el valor de los profesionales de la salud, las enfermeras y la Enfermería. Objetivo: Analizar las producciones científicas sobre el impacto de la pandemia del SARS-Cov-2 en el marketing de Enfermería. Metodología: Revisión integrativa de la literatura, según la estrategia PICo y los procedimientos definidos por los Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Bases de datos consultadas: Assia_Coronavirus; BVS; CINAHILO; base; PubMed; SciELO; Scopus y WOS. Resultados: Once estudios fueron seleccionados para el análisis. La enfermería ganó protagonismo por su desempeño. Los profesionales de enfermería tenían poco acceso a Equipos de Protección Personal (EPP) adecuados; faltaron espacios y recursos apropiados para la atención y subdimensionamiento de los equipos. Brasil lideró el ranking mundial de muertes de profesionales de enfermería. El no reconocimiento del poder de la profesión; alta jornada laboral, bajos salarios, resultan en la desvalorización del trabajo del propio enfermero Conclusión: Durante la pandemia del SARS-CoV-2, la Enfermería estuvo en primera línea, lo que permitió, en cierto modo, una mayor visibilidad profesional. Las condiciones de trabajo desfavorables, los bajos salarios y otros desafíos que enfrentan los profesionales de enfermería indican que la profesión aún carece de reconocimiento y que se deben realizar esfuerzos para una comercialización favorable. A pandemia pelo SARS-Cov-2 assombra o planeta desde o ano de 2020, dizimando milhares de pessoas em todo o mundo. Esse momento poderia ser propício para que o mundo reconhecesse o valor dos profissionais de saúde, do enfermeiro e da Enfermagem. Objetivo: Analisar as produções científicas sobre o impacto da pandemia pela SARS-Cov-2 no marketing da Enfermagem. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura, de acordo com a estratégia PICo e procedimentos definidos pelo Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Bases de dados consultadas: Assia_Coronavírus; BVS; CINAHIL; Embase; PubMed; SciELO; Scopus e WOS. Resultados: Onze estudos foram selecionados para análise. A Enfermagem ganhou holofotes pela atuação. Os profissionais de enfermagem tiveram pouco acesso a Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPIs) adequados; faltaram espaços e recursos apropriados para a assistência e um subdimensionamento das equipes. O Brasil liderou o ranking mundial de óbitos de profissionais de enfermagem. O não reconhecimento do poder da profissão; altas jornadas de trabalho, salários baixos, resultam na desvalorização do trabalho do próprio enfermeiro Conclusão: Durante a pandemia pela SARS-CoV-2, a Enfermagem esteve na linha de frente, o que possibilitou de certa forma maior visibilidade profissional. As condições de trabalho desfavoráveis, baixos salários e outros desafios enfrentados pelos profissionais de enfermagem sinalizam que a profissão ainda carece de reconhecimento e que esforços para o marketing favorável precisam ser empenhados.

A degradação do ambiente e, muito particularmente, dos biomas e dos ecossistemas através da poluição, da procura desmesurada de recursos naturais bióticos e do seu tráfico ilegal, coloca não só em perigo e em risco de extinção inúmeras espécies de fauna e flora, como também a própria sobrevivência do homem. De facto, ao provocar múltiplos impactos no sistema humano – designadamente sociais, na segurança e na economia –, o tráfico internacional de espécies protegidas é considerado um dos quatro maiores ao nível global, vindo a suscitar cada vez mais a atenção das instâncias e das autoridades internacionais, comunitárias e portuguesas, as quais têm desenvolvido esforços sobretudo nos domínios da regulamentação legal e do reforço da atuação das entidades que têm como fito a aplicação da lei. Conscientes deste desígnio, as autoridades judiciárias, policiais e administrativas portuguesas com atribuições neste domínio têm desenvolvido um trabalho considerável neste campo. Fazendo uso das suas múltiplas atribuições – que a caracterizam como polícia integral – e através do reforço da cooperação e colaboração interinstitucional, a Polícia de Segurança Pública vem, desde há vários anos, contribuindo para o combate a este tráfico, tanto através de ações operacionais, como da partilha de informações e sensibilização pública. The degradation of the environment and, in particularly, of biomes and ecosystems through pollution, the excessive demand for biotic natural resources and their illegal trafficking endangers not only countless species of fauna and flora, but also jeopardizes the very survival of mankind. In fact, by causing impacts on the human system – namely social, security and economic -, the international trafficking of protected species is already considered one of the four major on a global scale, raising the concern of both bodies and authorities at international, communitarian and portuguese levels, that has developed efforts either on legal regulation, or in the scope of strengthening the action of entities whose mission is law enforcement. Aware of this main goal, the portuguese judiciary, police and administrative authorities with assignments in these matters have developed considerable work in this field. Making use of its multiple attributions – which give it the feature of a full power police force – and the reinforcement of inter-institutional cooperation and collaboration, the Public Security Police has, for several years, been dealing with this traffic, either through operational actions or through information sharing and raising public awareness.

This paper aims to study some of the functional safety standard technical requisites, namely IEC61508 or ISO26262, regarding the Battery Management Systems. A Hazard and Risk Analysis has been carried out to identify the critical aspects of lithium-based batteries, aiming to find the necessary risk reduction and the applicable safety functions with an assigned Safety Integrity Level for a vehicle application.

It presents a survey and graphic representation of La Calzada de Bejar, an old rural village located in the Castilla y Leon region. The contribution highlights the relationship between the representation of a place through drawing in a combination of different detection experiences with digital (laser scanner, photogrammetry and drone) and analogical techniques (direct survey on a field notebook). It reflects above all on the practice of freehand drawing, as an act of real representation as a moment of knowledge and narration of a place through the body, eye, mind, hand and sheet of paper. The aim is to find new interpretative keys from which a distillate of values, considerations, reflections and regeneration projects can emerge. In addition, an experimental and strategic program for the cultural regeneration of the architectural and landscape heritage of this geographical area of the Iberian Peninsula is presented, taking an ancient architectural artefact, the Fortino, as a “key to interpretation” in order to extend the intervention to a territorial scale. The proposal of the “Proyecto Fortin” aims to transform a ruin into a “device of the eye” on the territory and the village of La Calzada de Bejar. Using supports and technologies, digital and analogical, for the interpretation and reading of reality between past, present and future.

Acredita-se que compreender as representações sociais de pessoas com síndrome de Down propicia o entendimento de como esses indivíduos atribuem significado sobre o meio social e os conhecimentos que circulam no dia a dia desses sujeitos. Pode-se afirmar que o contexto, sobretudo o educacional, possui relevância não só para a compreensão do mundo da pessoa com síndrome de Down, como também a compreensão de si mesmo. Ressalta-se a importância da emancipação desses sujeitos afim de que sejam autônomos e pratiquem a autoadvocacia e sejam empoderados frente aos processos que desapoderam esses indivíduos. É pertinente ressaltar que a emancipação intelectual e social de pessoas com Síndrome de Down é viabilizada a partir da escolarização, que promove o desenvolvimento da linguagem e do pensamento desses sujeitos. Desse modo, o principal escopo desse estudo é analisar as representações sociais sobre a deficiência intelectual de alunos com Síndrome de Down de escola de ensino comum e adultos de instituição especial, destacando as singularidades e as diferenças. Participaram desse estudo quatro alunos com síndrome de Down de escolas de ensino comum e cinco adultos com síndrome de Instituição Especial. Aplicou-se um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado, constituído em seu início por uma descrição pessoal do participante e em seguida por dezesseis perguntas que permitem ter acesso ao fenômeno em estudo. A coleta de dados ocorreu com a aplicação individual do roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. Para o tratamento dos dados realizou-se a transcrição literal dos relatos e posteriormente, implementou-se a Análise de Conteúdo. De maneira geral acredita-se que as representações sociais dos participantes de ambos os contextos educacionais apresentam a individualização da deficiência intelectual, distanciando-se de representações que apresentam essa deficiência como sendo um fenômeno socialmente construído. É possível considerar a importância que o ambiente educacional possui para o desenvolvimento dos alunos com Síndrome de Down na aquisição de habilidades sociais, significado do mundo e de si mesmos, para que possam administrar as suas vidas coletivas de forma autônoma e emancipados em suas relações interpessoais. Social representations are peculiar knowledge constructed in the daily life of social groups, it is believed that understanding the social representations of people with Down Syndrome provides an understanding of how these individuals attribute meaning to the social environment and the knowledge that circulate in the day to day of these subjects. One can affirm that the context, especially the educational one, has relevance not only for the understanding of the world of the person with Down s Syndrome, but also the understanding of itself. The importance of emancipation of these subjects is emphasized in order that they are autonomous and practice self-control and are empowered by the processes of disempowerment that these individuals are subjected to. It is pertinent to emphasize that the intellectual and social emancipation of people with Down syndrome is made possible by the schooling that promotes the development of the language and the thinking of these subjects. Thus, the main scope of this study is to analyze the social representations about the intellectual disability of students with Down Syndrome of regular school and adults of special institution, highlighting singularities and differences. Four students with Down Syndrome from regular schools and five adults with special school participated in this study. A semi-structured interview script was applied, consisting in its beginning by a personal description of the participant and then described are sixteen questions that allow access to the phenomenon under study. Data collection occurred with the individual application of the semi-structured interview script. For the treatment of the data, the literal transcription of the reports was carried out and later, the Content Analysis was implemented. In general, it is believed that the social representations by the participants of both educational contexts present the individualization of intellectual disability, distancing themselves from representations that present this disability as being a socially constructed phenomenon. It is possible to consider the importance that the educational environment has for the development of students with Down Syndrome, the acquisition of social skills the meaning of the world and of themselves, so that they can manage their collective lives autonomously and emancipated in their interpersonal relationships. 133053/2017-2

This paper presents a radiofrequency (RF) energy harvesting system based on an ultrawideband Archimedean spiral antenna and a half-wave Cockcroft-Walton multiplier circuit. The antenna was proved to operate from 350 MHz to 16 GHz with an outstanding performance. With its use, radio spectrum measurements were carried out at the Telecommunication Engineering School (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) to determine the power level of the ambient signals in two different scenarios: indoors and outdoors. Based on these measurements, a Cockcroft-Walton multiplier and a lumped element matching network are designed to operate at 800 MHz and 900 MHz frequency bands. To correct the frequency displacement in the circuit, a circuit model is presented that takes into account the different parasitic elements of the components and the PCB. With an input power of 0 dBm, the manufactured circuit shows a rectifying efficiency of 30%. Finally, a test is carried out with the full RF energy harvesting system to check its correct operation. Thus, the RF system is placed in front of a transmitting Vivaldi antenna at a distance of 50 cm. The storage capacitor has a charge of over 1.25 V, which is enough to run a temperature sensor placed as the load to be supplied. This demonstrates the validity of the RF energy harvesting system for low-power practical applications., This research was funded in part by the project TIN2016-75097-P of the Spanish Research and Development National Program, and in part by the project TEC2017-85529-C3-1-R of the Ministerio de Economía y Empresa.

In recent years a lot of research has been done about electric Hybrid Vehicles (HV) (including those with internal combustion engine or fuel cell). The main aim of the studies has been the design of an electric system capable of feeding an electric motor, giving the same or similar performance as an Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICEV). This is the first step for substituting the ICEV for HVs, since the final user will not accept any downgrade. Nowadays, cars bring other kind of services that make the vehicle more comfortable. Air conditioning is one of them. All the modern vehicles must be prepared to include an Air Conditioning System (ACS), even in the smallest sizes. Therefore the ACS and its effects over the energy management must be taken into account in the design of a HV. The power consumption of the ACS depends directly on the thermal load of the vehicle cabin (latent and sensible), the ambient conditions and the DC/DC converter efficiency between compressor and Car Power System of the car. The main objective of the research is to analyze the behavior of a fuel cell car under different driving cycles, ambient conditions and passenger load. The fuel consumption data is taken performing the cycles. An increment of hydrogen consumption between 3 and 12.1% was found when the ACS is switched on.

Este trabalho objetivou compreender as estrategias utilizadas pelos veiculos midiaticos para construir e manter a imagem em evidencia o idolo do futebol Brasileiro, Neymar Junior. Para tanto, foram analisadas materias do site de noticias Globoesporte.com e seus mecanismos de agendamento midiatico a partir de tres categorias: a atuacao profissional, a vida pessoal e a declaracao de personalidades sobre o craque brasileiro. Para tal categorizacao e inferencia foi utilizado o metodo qualitativo e a tecnica da Analise de Conteudo. Os grandes feitos e a criacao de vinculos sao fundamentais para a construcao do idolo esportivo; as conquistas exaltadas pela midia e os vinculos de pertencimento perpetuam a imagem positiva do atleta perante seu publico, que tem, ate entao, o jogador Neymar como principal nome do Brasil para a conquista da Copa do Mundo de 2014.

O proposito desse estudo foi de verificar o estilo de vida de academicos do curso de Educacao Fisica ingressantes no ano de 2014, na Universidade Federal do Piaui, em Teresina. Participaram da amostra 31 universitarios com media de idade de 20,05 anos (DP = 3,75). Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado o questionario Pentaculo do Bem Estar para avaliar o estilo de vida, classificando-os em comportamentos positivos (sempre e quase sempre) e comportamentos negativos (nunca e as vezes). O questionario abordou os principais componentes que revelam o estilo de vida do individuo, quais sejam: nutricao, atividade fisica, comportamento preventivo, relacionamento social e controle do stress. Na analise dos dados utilizou-se a estatistica descritiva (media, desvio-padrao, frequencia e percentagem). Conclui-se que os habitos alimentares e atividade fisica constituem os comportamentos de risco a saude e que podem contribuir negativamente para a qualidade de vida dos universitarios. Sugere-se que medidas intervencionistas direcionadas a melhoria do estilo de vida dos universitarios devem abordar estrategias no controle alimentar e cuidados preventivos com a saude.

O presente estudo objetivou verificar a influencia do nivel de atividade fisica (NAF) sobre o indice de massa corporal em adolescentes do municipio de Corrente, Piaui, Brasil. A pesquisa contou com amostra de 104 alunos com idade entre 13 e 19 anos, 49 (quarenta e nove) do sexo masculino e 55 (cinquenta e cinco) do sexo feminino, matriculados e frequentes no ensino medio integrado ao curso tecnico de informatica do Instituto Federal do Piaui. Os estudantes foram escolhidos pelo metodo de amostragem aleatoria simples e submetidos a duas avaliacoes: antropometrica (massa, estatura e IMC) e questionario. Nos resultados da analise do NAF e a sua relacao com IMC e genero observou-se que, A media de idade foi de 14,92 (±1,51) anos. Para os dados antropometricos foi observado media de estatura de 1,63 (±0,05) metros e massa corporal media de 55,15 (±2,84) quilogramas, quanto ao IMC a classificacao composta por 25 (24,2%) sujeitos no grupo baixo peso, 69 (66,2%) no grupo peso normal, 10(9,6%) no grupo sobrepeso e 0 (0%) no grupo obesidade. De acordo com os dados do presente estudo podemos inferir que os participantes da amostra apresentam predominio de classificacao em sobrepeso segundo a variavel IMC, havendo um sugestivo dominio da variavel baixo peso em relacao a sobrepeso, onde nao foi observado nenhum caso de obesidade nesse estudo. Dados esses que podem ser justificados pela influencia das caracteristicas sociodemograficas presentes, alimentacao abaixo do nivel, deslocamento percorrido ate a instituicao da pesquisa, condicoes de habitacao e alimentacao. O grupo feminino apresentava uma maior prevalencia a inatividade fisica, certa predisposicao justificada pela falta de opcoes de lazer e pratica de atividades fisicas para essa populacao nessa faixa etaria. O estudo nao apresenta correlacao de significância quando comparado as variaveis inatividade fisica e IMC.

This paper presents the development of a dynamic model of an electric vehicle with motors in all four wheels. The detailed model, is been developed in ADAMS® platform. It has 14 degrees of freedom and in it are included all elements of the actual vehicle such as coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and pneumatic wheels. The model has been validated experimentally in the actual vehicle, showing the goodness of fit. This dynamic simulator will serve as a test bed for improving vehicle and driver pretesting traction and stability.

Energy management in modern vehicles is a crucial issue, especially in the case of electric vehicles (EV) or hybrid vehicles (HV), in which different energy sources and loads must be considered for the operation of a vehicle. Air conditioning is an important load that must be thoroughly analysed because it can constitute a considerable percentage of the energy demand. In this paper, a simplified and dynamic thermal model for the cabin of a vehicle is proposed and validated. The developed model can be used for the design and testing of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a vehicle and for the study of its effects on the performance and fuel consumption of vehicles, such as EVs or HVs. The model is based on theoretical heat transfer, thermal inertia, and radiation treatment equations. The model results obtained from simulations are compared with the cabin air temperature of a vehicle under different conditions. This comparison demonstrates the accuracy between the simulation results and actual results.

International audience; A benchmark control problem was developed for a special session of the IFAC Workshop on Engine and Powertrain Control, Simulation and Modeling (E-COSM 12), held in Rueil-Malmaison, France, in October 2012. The online energy management of a plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle was to be developed by the benchmark participants. The simulator, provided by the benchmark organizers, implements a model of the GM Voltec powertrain. Each solution was evaluated according to several metrics, comprising of energy and fuel economy on two driving profiles unknown to the participants, acceleration and braking performance, computational performance. The nine solutions received are analyzed in terms of the control technique adopted (heuristic rule-based energy management vs. equivalent consumption minimization strategies, ECMS), battery discharge strategy (charge depleting-charge sustaining vs. blended mode), ECMS implementation (vector-based vs. map-based), ways to improve the implementation and improve the computational performance. The solution having achieved the best combined score is compared with a global optimal solution calculated offline using the Pontryagin's minimum principle-derived optimization tool HOT.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) are being investigated in many research and development programs motivated by the urgent need for more fuel-efficient vehicles that produce fewer harmful emissions. There are many potential advantages of hybridization such as the improvement of transient power demand, the ability of regenerative braking and the opportunities for optimization of the vehicle efficiency. The coordination among the various power sources requires a high level of control in the vehicle. In order to solve the power management problem, the controller proposed in this work is divided into two levels: the upper one calculates the power that must be supplied by the engine at each moment taking into account the estimation of the energy that must be supplied by the powertrain until the end of the journey. The lower one manages the torque/speed set points for all the devices. Besides, the operation modes are changed according to some heuristic rules. Several simulation results are presented, showing that the proposed control strategy can provide good performance with low computational load.

They were performed with 48 practitioners, where theresults were obtained that the great majority affirm to have obtained benefits in the daily life and improvements in the quality of life with thepractice of physical activity after their practice of physical activity in the Health Academy, therefore, concludes It is said that the benefitscited go beyond the physical in the life of these practitioners, have reported psychosocial benefits and improved quality of life ofpractitioners.

Recent developments in control systems have made it possible to manipulate wheel torques independently in order to improve vehicle handling characteristics of electric vehicles. These vehicles usually employ in-wheel motors which can be independently controlled. This paper presents a 4-wheel-drive electric vehicle for research purposes. A dynamic model based on the connection of the mechanical devices in the vehicle is implemented as a CAD model and as a simulator using Simmechanics in the MATLAB/Simulink framework. This model is validated using data from real experiments and it can be used to test new torque controllers before their implementation. The vehicle has a real-time control system that integrates the torque controller for the 4 motors. This control system fulfils the driver's demand computing the torque that must be supplied by each of the 4 motors. Experimental results are presented, that show that this vehicle seems to be a good test bench that can be used for testing advanced torque distribution controllers.

Current advances in the application of control systems to vehicle dynamics has made it practicable to improve the vehicle’s longitudinal, lateral and vertical dynamics. Some of the examples of application of these systems to vehicle control are traction control (longitudinal dynamics) to prevent wheel slip, ESP (lateral dynamics) to prevent loss of stability, and active suspension (vertical dynamics) to increase ride comfort. In this paper, the vehicle lateral motion is controlled by direct yaw control (DYC) method. This uses the yaw moment produced by the longitudinal forces of the tyres, for stabilising the vehicle motion during critical cornering conditions. The system is been designed to give substantially enhanced active safety and dynamic handling control. The vehicle dynamics control algorithm is developed for a FOX vehicle by controlling couple traction/braking torque of the four in-wheel motors, from basic driving slogans. These are the steering angle, position of the accelerator pedal and brake by the position of the brake pedal, as shown in Figure 1.
