As usual, The Academic Society Journal is always looking for partnerships and initiatives to increase its reach. One of the goals of our journal and of our society as a whole is to enable the scientific community to publish their research without fees. The Open Access format has brought several benefits to the popularization of science since its emergence, bringing quality knowledge to students and institutions that do not have access to paid content. In this issue, we would like to introduce our new editorial member, Prof. Mauro Machado de Oliveira, Chief Editor of REGRASP Journal (seer.spo.ifsp.edu.br/index.php/regrasp). Thus, crowning our partnership, we hope that other initiatives can continue forming links and creating networks that facilitate, as always, the daily lives of those who write, those who review and those who read the papers, not the publishers' profits. Our doors are always open!
与往常一样,《学术学会期刊》一直在寻找合作伙伴和倡议,以扩大其影响力。我们的期刊和我们整个社会的目标之一是使科学界能够免费发表他们的研究。开放获取格式自出现以来为科学普及带来了一些好处,为无法获得付费内容的学生和机构带来了高质量的知识。在这一期,我们想要介绍我们的新编辑成员,Mauro Machado de Oliveira教授,REGRASP杂志的主编(seer.spo.ifsp.edu.br/index.php/ REGRASP)。因此,在我们合作的基础上,我们希望其他倡议能够继续形成联系,创建网络,一如既往地促进那些写作、评论和阅读论文的人的日常生活,而不是出版商的利润。我们的大门永远敞开!

The research analyzes issues related to events that originate the behavior of a pacemaker battery in certain electro-electronic variations. Based on idea that pacemaker has the purpose of supporting the heart rate with electrical stimuli, the existence of errors in equipment's battery can lead to reduced autonomy and restricted failures that cause it to malfunction. The research process is based on bibliographic reviews and objective is to investigate cause of failure and explain in a technical way how this error can be minimized in order to reduce likelihood of these undesirable events in the equipment's operation.

A indústria têxtil e confecção tem se caracterizado como intensivas em mão de obra, entretanto os processos de automação vêm ganhando espaço nestes ambientes industriais. Um processo como o de etiquetagem no setor de embalagem industrial, quando realizado manualmente, está sujeito a erros e desperdícios indesejáveis, porém, este processo manual ainda é realidade em muitas indústrias têxteis e de confecção no Brasil. Neste trabalho é apresentado um modelo de automação para o processo de etiquetagem no setor de embalagem da indústria têxtil e confecção, sustentado por princípios da teoria de mecanismos, sistemas de automação, gerenciamento de pessoas, tempo de ciclo de operação e análise financeira. Os resultados teóricos previstos, após a implementação do modelo de automação, indicam uma redução no tempo de ciclo do processo de aproximadamente 14,3%, com investimento que se pagará em cerca de 5,8 anos. A implementação de mecanismos de automação possibilita, neste caso, a otimização e melhoria dos processos na indústria têxtil e confecção em termos de agilidade, precisão e redução de custo.

Most industrial processes have computers responsible for managing the production stages, which are the workstations. They monitor and control equipment (frequency inverters, screwdrivers and others) by sending commands via the network. This article shows a communication system between a robotic manipulator and a workstation, Modbus TCP and Advanced Control Language (ACL) protocols, respectively. The devices mentioned do not communicate directly, as the communication protocols are different. Therefore, it is not possible to perform this integration between the equipment, causing a sector of the industrial plant to be inoperative. There are several similar problems in automation systems, so there is the use of the gateway in various processes. It is a technology used in the conversion between protocols, thus being the object of study. The methodology starts with configuring the gateway according to the parameters of the workstation and the robotic manipulator, and then employs the use of the Wireshark® network monitor in order to verify that data sent and received follow the requested specifications.

The challenges imposed on Manufacturing Systems (MS), given the demands of a dynamic and competitive market, instigates the development of new technologies to promote the reduction of production costs, increase productivity and ensure the level of quality established by the company. Such technologies applied in MS create demands for new paradigms for the design of control systems, mainly about the integration of automated systems, such as multifunction machines, flexible machining centers, intelligent robotic conveyor systems, and the integration of information systems, production planning and management, and manufacturing execution. The main purpose of control system modeling is to represent a real system using conceptual models to visualize, predict and simulate the desired dynamic behavior of the system. This article presents some modeling tools for control systems capable of adequately representing a manufacturing system with all its requirements and intrinsic characteristics, supported by formal methods for structured modeling of the control system.

The pharmaceuticals as emerging contaminants have become one of the most controversial environmental issues at global scale. Over the years, the presence of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs inside rivers, lakes, and even inside drinking water streams has increased. The wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) lack the necessary technology to remove concentrations between the range ng/l-mg/l and therefore, the need to develop new methods able to remove contaminants in an effective, low cost and environmental friendly way arises. The present work is focused on studying the potential adsorption capacity of Moringa oleífera (MO) to remove Diclofenac (DCF) and Oxytetracycline (OTC) from wastewater. Through different experiences, it was possible to characterizes the main functional groups of MO and determine the principal responsible of the biosorption process.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation and infection, and is altered in COVID-19 patients. 2-methacryloyloxyetyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) is a polymer containing phosphorylcholine, a protein that anchors CRP. The purpose of this work was to detect CRP by bioelectric signal resulting from its interaction with MPC. The signal acquisition system was elaborated using Arduino in conjunction with the Parallax Data Acquisition (PLX-DAQ) program for data transfer to Excel, which allowed the treatment of the obtained signal. 10 volunteers were also enrolled to provide blood samples for the purpose of using CRP on confectioned biomaterial containing MPC. After pipetting the volunteer's blood serum into the biomaterial containing MPC, it was possible to obtain a bioelectric signals from the interaction of MPC with CRP. It is concluded that it is possible to detect the presence of CRP by bioelectric signal, and that the use of MPC is promising for future application in collection strips, which would allow the quantification of CRP by portable electronic equipment. An application example would be monitoring the infection level of patients with COVID-19.

The continuous monitoring of cardiac activity using conventional electrocardiography systems restricts signals acquisition to specific locations such as hospitals and medical clinics, and Holters systems don’t transmit the information about the electrocardiogram to the doctor and don’t react if the patient suffers from a cardiac abnormality, they only record the information. Portable remote systems have shown to provide mobility and comfort to the patient by allowing signals acquisition anywhere. This paper shows a remote monitoring system of the cardiac activity capable of performing the acquisition of ECG signals using a smartphone having Android, Bluetooth® communication and 3G technology for processing and visualizing ECG signals. The designed system is battery powered and three electrodes are attached to the patient’s chest to obtain the signals. It was developed a low consumption electronic circuit for acquiring and conditioning these signals using instrumentation and operational amplifiers. The processed ECG signal is then digitalized by an Arduino Nano, and transmitted by Bluetooth from Arduino to the patient’s smartphone so it can be sent to a workstation through 3G technology where the electrocardiogram may be analyzed by a physician. The results obtained on the tests performed validate the developed prototype regarding the acquired ECG signals in the oscilloscope and the developed Android application, which were compared with the ECG signals obtained using a conventional electrocardiography system. The proposed system aims to perform signal acquisition and transmission independent of time and the patient’s location, allow early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, reduce the number of the doctor’s visits required, besides providing a device more comfortable to the patient during the monitoring of electrocardiogram signals while performing daily activities.
