Analysis of the human gait represents a fundamental area of investigation within the broader domains of biomechanics, clinical research, and numerous other interdisciplinary fields. The progression of visual sensor technology and machine learning algorithms has enabled substantial developments in the creation of human gait analysis systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the advancements and recent findings in the field of vision-based human gait analysis systems over the past five years, with a special emphasis on the role of vision sensors, machine learning algorithms, and technological innovations. The relevant papers were subjected to analysis using the PRISMA method, and 72 articles that met the criteria for this research project were identified. A detailing of the most commonly used visual sensor systems, machine learning algorithms, human gait analysis parameters, optimal camera placement, and gait parameter extraction methods is presented in the analysis. The findings of this research indicate that non-invasive depth cameras are gaining increasing popularity within this field. Furthermore, depth learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, are being employed with increasing frequency. This review seeks to establish the foundations for future innovations that will facilitate the development of more effective, versatile, and user-friendly gait analysis tools, with the potential to significantly enhance human mobility, health, and overall quality of life.

The affectations caused by extreme events of natural origin such as droughts and floods in traditional homes in the province of Gran Chaco, in Bolivia, are frequent. These aspects compromise the habitat of the populations that occupy them, as is the case of the original Weenhayek people, as an alternative for the improvement of the human habitat of this town. Through theoretical and empirical methods, five variables used for the development of the adaptation model were determined, from the bases of planned adaptation as a component of urban-territorial resilience, in search of an improvement of socio-environmental systems in the face of the effects of climate change, exemplified in the Weenhayek native people. The model establishes the improvements of traditional dwellings, from a current trend of deterioration to one of preservation, conservation and growth in the Weenhayek culture, through various features, such as: Respects the cultural design of the house that integrates local patterns of the environment, ecosystem and contemporary construction elements without affecting its image, the materials and construction techniques used are of a traditional nature, but with contemporary elements that improve their application, durability, stability, as an articulated construction system, commits governments in all instances to the technical-constructive study of the rural areas of the human settlements of the Weenhayek people, and establishes a starting point towards new studies focused on native peoples.

This study presents the complete genome sequence of a novel nege-like virus identified in whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1), provisionally designated as whitefly negevirus 1 (WfNgV1). The virus possesses a single-stranded RNA genome comprising 11,848 nucleotides, organized into four open reading frames (ORFs). These ORFs encode the putative RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase (RdRp, ORF 1), a glycoprotein (ORF 2), a structural protein with homology to those in the SP24 family, (ORF 3), and a protein of unknown function (ORF 4). Phylogenetic analysis focusing on RdRp and SP24 amino acid sequences revealed a close relationship between WfNgV1 and Bemisia tabaci negevirus 1, a negevirus sequence recently discovered in whiteflies from Israel. Both viruses form a clade sharing a most recent common ancestor with the proposed nelorpivirus and centivirus taxa. The putative glycoprotein from ORF 2 and SP24 (ORF 3) of WfNgV1 exhibit the characteristic topologies previously reported for negevirus counterparts. This marks the first reported negevirus-like sequence from whiteflies in the Americas.

Ecosystems are currently at risk, and scientific methods have been developed to assess these impacts. In this scenario, the circular economy makes it possible to reuse raw materials and reduce waste. The objective of the research is to analyze the scientific production related to the evaluation of environmental risks in ecosystems with a circular economy approach. Quantitative research was carried out, with a retrospective and descriptive approach, from a bibliometric study in the SCOPUS database in the period 2014 - 2024. The peak of research was 4, where research articles predominated with 7 in 12 areas of knowledge. The most producing country was the United States. The most producing journal was Thunderbird International Business Review with 159. four research lines and their gaps were identified. Environmental risk assessment is much more than a legal requirement; it is an opportunity to demonstrate an organization's commitment to sustainability.

The aim of this study was the integration of model-based design and Wavelet transform techniques for filtering surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. In the first stage the noises and interferences that disturb sEMG signals were analyzed to implement a digital filter in a low-cost embedded system that filters these signals. It was shown that the noises and interferences are caused by various sources. Sources of interference and noise can be divided into internal and external. Internal noise is caused by the electrodes, EMG signals of other muscles, and noise associated with the functioning of other organs such as the heart or stomach. The external noises are due to the electrical environment, the most prominent of which is the direct interference of the power hum, produced by the incorrect grounding of other devices and electromotors. For the analysis of the digital filter, sEMG signals from the biceps muscle were used when the elbow joint was at rest and during flexion and extension movements. Signals from 10 participants who did not have any atrophies or pathologies in the muscle were considered for this stage. Denoising of sEMG signals was performed using different wavelets; the smallest error was observed when using the biorthogonal wavelet 3/5 of level 6 with the soft thresholding method. The wavelet filter was implemented using the V-model, and the Processor in The Loop (PIL) tests helped to determine the characteristics of the embedded system where the digital filter was implemented. The digital filter code was implemented on an ESP32 board due to its processing speed of 328 ms.

Purpose: This investigation is based on the theoretical analysis of the application of neural networks to the design and manage supply chains, along with an empirical approach, this investigation its developed with the prediction of the level of integration in the supply chain through neural networks.Design/methodology/approach: The methodology designed and used for the processing of data was the instruction of a neural network wich is used to predict the level of integration in a supply chain. This type of predictive application appears in the literature reviewed on supply chains. This analysis was carried out in a comparative way with the heterogeneous and homogeneous weights of the neuron training.Findings: The main results of this research focus on predicting the level of integration in the supply chain from the neoronal network. This provides a coached neuron that can be applied in other studies and, therefore, predict the outcome. On the other hand, it is shown that if the weights of the integration level variables are not homogeneous, the procedure presents different results depending on the context in which it is developed.Research limitations/implications: Among the limitations of the implementation of neural networks it should be noted, the necessary adaptation to the characteristics of the supply chains and the areas of performance of the business organizations under study, in the framework of activities productive or service itself, in addition to analyzing its corporate purpose in relation to the satisfaction of certain needs of the target markets.Originality/value: The literature shows multiple theoretical sources that refer to studies of neural networks in supply chains, observing the opportunity to apply this technique to predict the level of integration due to its benefits for decision making. The originality of this scientific work lies in the possibility of comparing the historical data of the level of integration and those predicted as a result of the coaching of the neuron with the weights of the heterogeneous and homogeneous variables.
