Future of artificial intelligence in agile software development

The advent of Artificial intelligence has promising advantages that can be utilized to transform the landscape of software project development. The Software process framework consists of activities that constantly require routine human interaction, leading to the possibility of errors and uncertainties. AI can assist software development managers, software testers, and other team members by leveraging LLMs, GenAI models, and AI agents to perform routine tasks, risk analysis and prediction, strategy recommendations, and support decision-making.

Occurrence of Ionospheric Scintillation during St. Patrick's Day Storm 17 March 2015

The Ionospheric scintillation has a huge impact on radio propagation and electronic system performance, thus is substantially studied currently. The particular influence of scintillation on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is very evident, making GNSS a powerful medium to analyze characteristics of scintillation. Ionospheric scintillation differs in relationship with provisional, provisory and spatial distribution. Present study describing about the occurrence of ionospheric scintillation during the geomagnetic storm on 17 March 2015 over Darwin, Australia.1.

Águas da Amazônia: Biodiversidade, Comunidades locais e a Importância da lei das águas para a Sustentabilidade

A Amazônia possui uma das maiores bacias hidrográficas do mundo, essencial para a biodiversidade e para as populações locais. A gestão sustentável desses recursos envolve regulamentações que garantam o uso racional da água, proteção dos cursos d'água contra poluição e a preservação dos ecossistemas aquáticos. Diante das crescentes pressões sobre os recursos naturais da Amazônia, a gestão e a conservação dos recursos hídricos emergem como questões centrais para assegurar a sustentabilidade ambiental e o bem-estar das populações da região.

Seismic response spectrum analysis (Zone V) of a g+10 steel Framed Structure using Different Grades of Steel

Seismic Response Spectrum Analysis (SRSA) is a critical component in assessing the seismic performance of structures, especially in earthquake-prone regions. This project report presents a comprehensive analysis of a G+10 steel-framed structure using the widely utilized structural analysis software, ETABS. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the structural response to seismic loading and provide insights into the dynamic behaviour of the building for Earthquake Zone 5.

Perfil epidemiológico das internações e óbitos por sindromes hipertensivas da gestação no estado do amapá no ano de 2018 a 2022

Hypertensive Syndromes of Pregnancy (SHG) are one of the complications of pregnancy that are among the main causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is the first cause of maternal death in Brazil and the third in the world. It affects about 10% of pregnancies, being the most diagnosed disorder during pregnancy and the largest cause of prematurity in Brazil. It can lead to limitations in maternal health and serious consequences for the fetus and newborn.

Influence of Automotive Pre-painting Temperature on the Bake Hardenig (BH) Effect in hot Stamped Parts

Management High-strength steels recently used to obtain parts for the automotive industry, with multiphase microstructures, have interesting bake-hardening (BH) properties. The aim of this research work is to pre-deform and quantify the effect of BH on 22MnB5 steels, during the pre-painting phase, obtained by hot stamping. Different temperatures, 180 °C and 200 °C, and different times, from 15 to 40 minutes, were used as heat treatments to simulate the effect on hot stamped material at a temperature of 900 °C.

The big bang reviewed by quantum mechanics

Thanks to Edwin Hubble’s observations we know that universal expansion unfolds the cosmos. Going back in time, we think the universe was more concentrated. Here comes the amalgam between concentration and volume: because the universe was more concentrated, we think it was also smaller. But the size of the universe is a big unknown. Its limits could never be established. What is established are human errors: at first, it was thought that the universe was limited to Earth. Then it was the sun that became the center of the cosmos. Then we thought the universe was limited to our galaxy.

The Importance of Applying Biosafety in Laboratories in Brazil

O Working in laboratories poses risks because they contain various agents that are harmful to the health of professionals, especially in activities that involve biological risk. Biosafety is indispensable in the daily lives of professionals working in laboratories, as it describes actions to prevent and minimize risks to human health and the environment. However, even with the existence of biosafety rules, various types of accidents still occur in laboratory environments.

Assessing effective interventions to bridge linguistic gaps and improve health outcomes for immigrant populations: A narrative review

Immigrants currently comprise approximately 281 million people globally. As their populations continue to rise, receiving countries often face difficulties with seamlessly integrating them into society: specifically, with healthcare. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of interventions that aim to bridge the linguistic gaps in immigrant healthcare. It focuses on the four following primary categories: professional medical interpreters, language services (telephone & video), multilingual offline resources, and technological interventions.

Autonomisation de la femme et lutte contre la pauvreté: quand les coopératives féminines du mgb s’imposent en Côte d’Ivoire

L’autonomisation de la femme et la lutte contre la pauvreté constituent une priorité majeure dans la dynamique du développement socioéconomique en Côte d’Ivoire en ce moment précis. Dans cette mouvance, plusieurs organismes nationaux et internationaux, des structures étatiques et des entités privées posent des actions contributives. Ainsi, des femmes des coopératives féminines du Marché de Gros de Bouaké interpellent à travers l’impact de leurs œuvres.
