Dignity is all about people. Dignity is intrinsic-we're all born with it. But dignity is also relational and is created among, and between people. Many of us don't think about this, or notice it in our daily lives. But that's only because we, our families and friends are fortunate enough to live relatively privileged lives. And because it can be difficult to establish the number of people living in difficult conditions-and their voices are less often heard.

This article aimed to characterize the people management of a regional development agency in the western Brazilian Amazon. The research focused on the analysis of management in the Superintendence of the Manaus Free Trade Zone - Suframa, the organization that has managed, for 50 years, the Manaus Free Trade Zone - ZFM project. From the realization of a case study in this autarchy, with wide access to internal documents, interviews with managers and local observation, four main categories were observed, in the form of approaches entitled as systemic, public agent, strategic alignment and long term . The results indicate, for each category, trends in people management in the contemporary public sector, both on aspects disseminated by the related literature, and on specificities of this sphere in the subnational context.

Wuhan has informed an outbreak of a typical lungs infection created by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in December 2019. Infections have been consigned to other cities, along with internationally which aggressing to trigger a global epidemic. In the past four years, coronavirus infections have become the most dangerous infections since of the event of some fresh deaths caused by corona infections in Saudi Arabia. Coronavirus infections may be planted in and spread out of Saudi Arabia by inbound and outbound Umrah visitors and non-Umrah visitors. The impact of fundamental reproductive number and zoonotic strength of infectivity on susceptible, exposed and infected peoples rate was assessed using Runge-Kutta-Felhberg strategy with shooting method. In this investigation, the vulnerable people's rate is significantly climbing in the brief interval of period owing to overwhelming and mean inactive period. Our examination shows the transmissibility of coronavirus is more grounded as contrasted and the Asia continent countries respiratory confusion. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus is already spread in creature and human pools in Ethiopia. The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 growth in the Saudi Arabia may have a solemn crash on genetic assortment, interspecies circulation of these infections mostly with the reference to the alteration and recombination expectation of coronaviruses. Researches of the molecular mechanisms and genetics of this infection are provided in the component can act an important part of this project to follow tactics to prevent subsequent coronavirus outbreak.

This article peforms an x-ray image of the adoption of affirmative action policies in graduate education by Brazilian federal universities through the decisions of their boards of trustees. To this end, we surveyed Brazilian graduate programs by examining data from the Sucupira Platform (2017-2020) and the resolutions of the boards of trustees of the country’s 69 federal universities. Of all federal universities in the country, 33 already adopt affirmative action policies. Our results relate to beneficiaries’ profile, patterns of application calls, models and processes for cross-checking self-declaration statements, retention policies, etc. This study, allied to others, can be used as a parameter for the adoption of affirmative action by new universities and also as an urge for the evaluation and expansion of such policies in institutions where they already exist.

The growing number of disabled and elderly citizens, on one side, and the wide spreading of technology in everyday life, on the other, has led to a consistent effort devoted to the research of technological solutions for improving the quality of life of disabled and elderly people. Technology can actually provide a wide range of solutions, at different levels of complexity and cost. The recent progress of research in advanced robotics allows robotic solutions to be applied to assist disabled and elderly people in everyday life. The MOVAID project, promoted by the European Commission within the TIDE programme, and co-ordinated by the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (Pisa, Italy), represents one of the first attempts to propose robotic assistance in such a personal sphere of activities as everyday life at home. Ten partners from five European countries joined the MOVAID Consortium, including Universities, validation centres, and industries. The MOVAID project proposed, applied and validated some innovative concepts for the design and development of a modular robotic solution to the problem of personal assistance, by implementing a mobile robotic system and dedicated interfaces to standard appliances. The final objective of the MOVAID project was to demonstrate two points. First, how mass consumer technological products, when accessible for disabled and elderly people, can enhance their level of autonomy in everyday activities. Second, how a robotic solution is not only technically feasible, but also acceptable from the user's point of view, if integrated in a modular assistance system. The basic philosophy of the project relies on the concepts of `design for all' and `user oriented approach', as key factors for the introduction of technology in everyday activities. Such concepts were realised in the functional and physical distribution of the system in the house, including docking facilities for the mobile robotic unit. The MOVAID system consists of a number of fixed workstations (PCs), located where main activities are carried out at home, such as the kitchen and the bedroom, along with a mobile robotic unit able to navigate in the house avoiding unexpected obstacles, to grasp and manipulate common objects and to dock to the fixed workstations for data exchange and power supply. Commands to the robot are given in a high level language through a graphical interface running on the fixed workstations. On the user interface, a continuous visual feed-back from on-board cameras is also shown to the user, allowing him/her not only to monitor what the robot is doing, but also to collaborate with it, by indicating objects and positions directly on the screen. Moreover, to allow and ease access to standard technological products, interfaces for standard kitchen appliances were studied, and a prototype of a microwave oven interface, offering the oven basic functionality, was developed and tested. Typical tasks for the system, defined on the basis of identified users needs,are: to warm up some food in a microwave oven and serve it at the user's bed;to clean the kitchen work surface; and to remove dirty sheets from a bed. The developed prototype MOVAID system has been successfully validated withpotential users in Italy, France and Switzerland, both through demonstrationsand user trials, carried out in a residential house for disabled people inItaly. The paper summarises the project and its achievements. The basic philosophyand the approach are introduced and a detailed description of the system isthen provided, including the technical aspects related to the componentsdesign and development. Finally, the results of the validation phase on thesystem prototype are reported and discussed.

It is recognized by academics and the community of practice that the management of people plays an important role in project management. Recent people skills research expresses the need to develop a better understanding of what good people management is. This paper proposes what project management practitioners consider to be skills and behaviours of an effective people project manager. A combination of literature review, face to face interviews and focus group meetings was applied to complete the research objective. Six specific skills and associated behaviours were identified as being most important. The results suggest that project managers would benefit from adopting these skills and behaviours to strengthen their managing people skills and behaviours to improve the successful delivery of projects. The findings also suggest that some skill sets and behaviours may be more appropriate for application in certain project environments such as IT or the construction industry.

The Yanomami Indigenous people in Brazil are experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis,mainly due to illegal gold mining, unauthorized logging and land grabbing, and a lack of accessto healthcare and basic preventive measures. This has led to several health issues, includinginfectious diseases, intestinal parasitosis, malnutrition, mercury exposure, sexual exploitationin exchange for food and natural resources, displacement from their lands, and increased mortality. The Yanomami are also vulnerable to COVID-19 due to the decline in indigenous healthfunding and limited access to primary health facilities and hospitals (Santos et al., 2021).

Background and purpose: Resilience is the emerging fields of psychology and has occupied a special stance in psychology within the past two decades. The importance of these psychological constructs and lack of studies in the society of elites which play an essential role in a country's science and technology lead to perform this research aiming to review the differences between the elites and normal people. Materials and methods: Corpus of the present study was 169 elites of Fars province, Iran and 169 normal people. To this end, we utilized Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale questionnaires: T-test was used to analyze the data. Results: Results of the present study showed that resilience within elites with t = 4.16 and significant level ? ? 0.001 significantly was higher than normal people. Conclusion: A high level of resilience in the elite can be associated with power of creativity, problem solving, self-efficacy, planning and their higher cognitive intelligence.

Because a people detection system that considers only a single feature tends to be unstable, many people detection systems have been proposed to extract multiple features simultaneously. These detection systems usually integrate features using a heuristic method based on the designers' observations and induction. Whenever the number of features to be considered is changed, the designer must change and adjust the integration mechanism accordingly. To avoid this tedious process, we propose a multimodal fusion system that can detect and track people in a scalable, accurate, robust, and flexible manner. Each module considers a single feature and all modules operate independently at the same time. A depth module is constructed to detect people based on the depth-from-stereo method, and a novel approach is proposed to extract people by analyzing the vertical projection in each layer. A color module that detects the human face, and a motion module that detects human movement are also developed. The outputs from these individual modules are fused together and tracked over time, using a Kalman filter.
