The online system state initialization and simultaneous spatial-temporal calibration are critical for monocular Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) since these parameters are either not well provided or even unknown. Although impressive performance has been achieved, most of the existing methods are designed for filter-based VIOs. For the optimization-based VIOs, there is not much online spatial-temporal calibration method in the literature. In this paper, we propose an optimization-based online initialization and spatial-temporal calibration method for VIO. The method does not need any prior knowledge about spatial and temporal configurations. It estimates the initial states of metric-scale, velocity, gravity, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) biases, and calibrates the coordinate transformation and time offsets between the camera and IMU sensors. The work routine of the method is as follows. First, it uses a time offset model and two short-term motion interpolation algorithms to align and interpolate the camera and IMU measurement data. Then, the aligned and interpolated results are sent to an incremental estimator to estimate the initial states and the spatial–temporal parameters. After that, a bundle adjustment is additionally included to improve the accuracy of the estimated results. Experiments using both synthetic and public datasets are performed to examine the performance of the proposed method. The results show that both the initial states and the spatial-temporal parameters can be well estimated. The method outperforms other contemporary methods used for comparison.

The economic value of volunteering is an increasingly important part of volunteering management. It has become part of public policies. Some requests for proposals (RFP) enable nonprofits to include the value of volunteer time in compulsory co-financing. These RFP include the European Economic Area (EEA) Grants and Norway Grants. This article addresses the relationship in the value of volunteering, also called in-kind volunteering contributions. The research includes two case studies of finances from EEA and Norway Grants in the Czech Republic: the Czech NGO Programme, responsible for allocating grants between 2009 and 2014, and the Active Citizens Fund, responsible for allocating grants between 2014 and 2021. They share elements through the EEA and Norway Grants rules. However, they use different types of specialist replacement wages. The article summarizes the arguments for including in-kind volunteering contributions. It presents the possible values of these contributions in the selected cases, including the relationship between the type of volunteering and the number of hours necessary to achieve these values. The article defines the theoretical basis for calculating the value of in-kind volunteer contributions and illustrates this with real examples of allocations from EEA and Norway Grants.

Many secondary students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are not taught employability skills and routines needed for competitive or supported employment in regular community environments. Literacy-based behavioral interventions (LBBIs) that combine print, pictures, and behavioral rehearsal are effective for promoting acquisition and maintenance of numerous skills, but have not been investigated as a job coaching intervention for individuals with ASD. In this study, a peer coworker was taught to deliver an LBBI guide to students with ASD as a job coaching intervention for three skills in an employment preparation routine: preparing and selling coffee in a work-site food truck. Results showed students’ accuracy with the skills in the work routine increased, and maintained after the intervention.

Home enteral nutrition (HEN) provides care for the special need for food at home. Although the majority of patients in HEN is clinically stable, support from health professionals, and monitoring and evaluation for maintenance or evolution of therapy are necessary. However, the current pandemic situation of COVID-19 and the lack of specific treatment for coronavirus infection have led to changes in the health services work routine. The social distance recommendation to contain the progress of COVID-19 interferes with the home care service. Thus, in order to provide assistance effectively and safely to the patient, family members and health professionals, adaptations can be made. Therefore, the objective of this manuscript is to discuss elements and recommendations that contribute to HEN care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACTThis research has a theoretical approach based on the stoic principle that happiness and self-fulfillment are natural consequences of right attitudes. It is possible to change the will to suit the world and live sick and happy, in peril and yet happy, stating an individual desire completely autonomous and deterministic. This presupposes not an apathetic fatalism, but a moral resistance to better face the hardships of life. When faced with setbacks of destiny a stoic believes in an extreme personal freedom to ally with this almost absolute determinism. These are congruent principles to health care models for strengthening and supporting people in chronic conditions. A literature review of three important works of the Stoic School (Encheiridion and The Discourses, by Epictetus, and Moral Letters to Lucilius, by Seneca) was performed. The search words "health, disease, choice, discipline," with its English correspondents, were utilized for the selection of texts, interpreted by discourse analysis. It was sought a contribution to Public Health towards the management of chronic conditions, the silent epidemic of XXI century. As results some principles are presented converging to notions of selfcare and shared care for chronic conditions, primarily focused on the autonomy and discipline of users to manage their health. It is proposed the application of these principles to treatment planning in programs for chronic conditions, whether for ill patients or in special conditions of health, such as adolescence, disabilities, pregnancy, etc. Under this point of view these principles could be extended to health professionals because their work routine also features a chronic condition. That could benefit individuals, healthcare systems and society as a whole.RESUMOEsta pesquisa tem um enfoque teórico, baseada no princípio estoico de que felicidade e realização pessoal são consequências naturais de atitudes corretas. É possível alterar a vontade para se adequar ao mundo e viver doente e feliz, em perigo e ainda assim feliz, afirmando um desejo individual completamente autônomo e determinista. Isto não pressupõe um fatalismo apático, mas sim uma resistência moral para melhor enfrentar as agruras da vida. Ao deparar-se com os revezes do destino um estoico acredita em sua extrema liberdade pessoal para aliar-se a esse determinismo quase absoluto. Tais princípios são coerentes com modelos de atenção à saúde para o fortalecimento e apoio às pesso-as em condições crônicas. Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica de três importantes obras da Escola Estoica (En-cheiridion e The Discourses, de Epicteto, e Moral Letters to Lucilius, de Sêneca). Foram utilizadas as palavras de busca “saúde, doença, escolha, disciplina”, com suas correspondentes em inglês, para a seleção dos textos, interpreta-dos por análise do discurso. Buscou-se uma contribuição para a Saúde Coletiva, direcionada para o manejo das condi-ções crônicas, a epidemia silenciosa do século XXI. Como resultados são apresentados alguns princípios convergentes com noções de autocuidado e cuidado compartilhado, focados principalmente na autonomia e disciplina da pessoa usuária para monitorar a sua saúde. Propõe-se a aplicação desses princípios aos programas de atenção às condições crônicas, seja para portadores de doenças ou pessoas em condições especias de saúde, tais como adolescência, inca-pacidades, gravidez, etc. Sob este ponto de vista esses princípios poderiam ser estendidos aos profissionais de saúde, pois sua rotina de trabalho também caracteriza uma condição crônica. Disso poderiam beneficiar-se indivíduos, siste-mas de saúde e a sociedade como um todo.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To understand the processes of territorialization in the daily life and work routine of settlers in Querência do Norte, Paraná, Brazil. Originality/value: This work contributes to the context of discussions on territory and territorialization processes (Haesbaert, 2011; Raffestin, 1993, 2008; Saquet, 2008) in the daily life (De Certeau, 2014) of workers marginalized by society in general. Design/methodology/approach: We developed this qualitative article from data collected through eight life history interviews with settlers, pre-settlers, and residents of Querência do Norte, in the State of Paraná (PR). After transcribing the interviews, they went through an analysis of narratives. Findings: We identify that, through the practices of work, study and claims, the settlers territorialize the space, and there they create their own rules and norms of coexistence. In their struggles for land, it is clear that their place of belonging is the field, justifying the insistence on the struggle for the right to land to cultivate. The sense of belonging of the workers is represented by the struggle that unites them and places them as part of a larger movement. Placing men at the center of the construction of territoriality is accomplished through the daily struggle and work of the settlers and pre-settlers in Querência do Norte (PR).

Abstract: Due to technological advances, trade politicies and society's consumption patterns, competitiveness among companies has increased considerably, requiring practices that provide a constant improvement in production indicators and product quality. In this context, the use of Toyota Production System tools, also known as Lean Manufacturing, have a fundamental role in the elimination of waste and continuous improvement of industrial production levels. Thus, this work aims to implement a standardized work routine among employees working in a market of parts in an Agricultural Machinery industry, which lacks production methods. To represent this situation, real data were used, which correspond to the needs of the assembly line, and which served as the basis for the analysis and implementation of a new work routine. The results obtained enabled the creation of a standardized work routine, which was obtained by balancing activities between operators and eliminating activities that did not add value to the product.
