More and more the only services which human beings can offer to society and which society will need will be intellectual. Just as in the last 100 years mechanical skill superseded and to a great extent outmoded manual labor, in the next few years the automatic machine will supersede and to a great extent outmode mechanical skill (not entirely but mechanical skill will be cheap, comparatively to brain power). The age of automatons, for their development, construction, and maintenance, demands from society greater brain power.

In this work, we propose to understand the possibilities of scope and practical purpose of the political-pedagogical project of IFRN, a federal educational institution located in the city of Natal. The research with a qualitative and quantitative approach has a descriptive nature, constitutes of a sample of 211 subjects, researched by the Technique of Natural Semantic Networks and by the Theory of Knowledge Representation. It seeks to find out if the constructionofknowledge,whichunderlietheintegraleducation,proposedbytheentity,aremade present in students enrolled in higher and technical courses,if the fundamentals and principles of integral formation are found in their representations of human beings, society, culture,science,technology,workandeducation.Accordingtothemethodologicalprocedures and its results, such representations have not been detected. It was not represented by students in the sample to overcome the duality of education: manual labor and laborintellectual.

War of humanity against COVID-19 is stretching at this stage of time. In this paper, a solution has been proposed to sanitize the narrow roads and public areas with a robotic solution. Robot design proposed in this paper can be operated using a remote and that saves human beings from direct possible face off with COVID– 19 virus.. This Semi-Automatic machine proposed in the work has a built-in thermal scanner to scan the locals and also a walkie talkie to give further instructions to the person being scanned.Robot also has a carriage section that can transport medicine and food to the infected area. With this one robot, a large area such as slums, narrow roads, schools, and buildings etc. can be covered.

The fan shaft sleeve is a very important part of the fan-related machine and has high demand for precision. At present, due to the lack of machine that exclusively for sleeve processing at home, the sleeve production largely depends on manual labor which yields very low productivity. This paper introduces an automatic machine for fan shaft sleeve processing which introduces the Omron PLC as the hardcore of the control system. The machine proposed also includes a cam splitter. Controlled by motors, clutches and retarders, the splitter provides 6 stations for feeding, drilling, taping, milling, chamfer and discharging. Driven by 3 phases AC motors and air tanks, the machine can mange the fan shaft sleeve processing automatically and achieves high productivity and quality.

The hand has long been a symbol of what makes human beings human. It is still used to convey this meaning, despite the decline of manual labor and the replacement of manual dexterity by machines, robots, and computers. A number of twentieth-century images remind us of the hand's labor power: for example, Fernand Leger's 1951 homage to Vladimir Mayakowsky, his earlier 1918 painting, “The Mechanic,” which is a veritable icon of the worker whose hand forms the dynamic compositional element (Fig. 1), and Diego Rivera's “Detroit Industry Frescoes,” where gigantic hands symbolize humanity's struggle with the material world. In European visual traditions, the iconography of the hand as labor power is imprinted by three types of images: Renaissance imagery, industrial allegory, and artisan and worker iconography. In Renaissance art, Michelangelo, in “The Creation” in the Sistine Chapel, reinterpreted the Biblical reference to God's breathing life into the world by adding the barely touching hands of God and Adam, thereby suggesting the virtue of active work. Industrial allegory, developed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, emphasized the “bourgeois” view of work as a sign of goaloriented, planned achievement and success in the world, with the hand depicted as a tool that creates new tools and hence the organ that makes humanity the crowning work of creation.

Electricity is one of the fundamental necessities of human beings, which is commonly used for domestic, industrial, and agriculture purposes. The present system of energy metering as well as billing in India uses electromechanical and somewhere digital meter. it consumes more time and labor. One of the prime reasons is the traditional billing system which is inaccurate. The smart energy meter gives real power consumption as well as accurate billing. In the project, we will measure the energy being consumed in the house and will generate its bill automatically using telemetric communication. This will help in reducing the consumption of energy in the house as the owner will continuously be notified about the number of units that are being consumed. The main objective is to generate the bill automatically by checking the electricity unit’s consumption of the house to reduce the manual labor. The calculations will be performed controller and the bill will be updated on to the clouds by using a network of Internet of Things. The bill amount can be checked by the user and suppler anywhere remotely.

Abstract. Several empirical investigations have explored whether observers prefer to sort sets of multidimensional stimuli into groups by employing one-dimensional or family-resemblance strategies. Although one-dimensional sorting strategies have been the prevalent finding for these unsupervised classification paradigms, several researchers have provided evidence that the choice of strategy may depend on the particular demands of the task. To account for this disparity, we propose that observers extract relational patterns from stimulus sets that facilitate the development of optimal classification strategies for relegating category membership. We conducted a novel constrained categorization experiment to empirically test this hypothesis by instructing participants to either add or remove objects from presented categorical stimuli. We employed generalized representational information theory (GRIT; Vigo, 2011b , 2013a , 2014 ) and its associated formal models to predict and explain how human beings chose to modify these categorical stimuli. Additionally, we compared model performance to predictions made by a leading prototypicality measure in the literature.

Abstract. In the development of new psychiatric drugs and the exploration of their efficacy, behavioral testing in mice has always shown to be an inevitable procedure. By studying the behavior of mice, diverse pathophysiological processes leading to depression, anxiety, and sickness behavior have been revealed. Moreover, laboratory research in animals increased at least the knowledge about the involvement of a multitude of genes in anxiety and depression. However, multiple new possibilities to study human behavior have been developed recently and improved and enable a direct acquisition of human epigenetic, imaging, and neurotransmission data on psychiatric pathologies. In human beings, the high influence of environmental and resilience factors gained scientific importance during the last years as the search for key genes in the development of affective and anxiety disorders has not been successful. However, environmental influences in human beings themselves might be better understood and controllable than in mice, where environmental influences might be as complex and subtle. The increasing possibilities in clinical research and the knowledge about the complexity of environmental influences and interferences in animal trials, which had been underestimated yet, question more and more to what extent findings from laboratory animal research translate to human conditions. However, new developments in behavioral testing of mice involve the animals’ welfare and show that housing conditions of laboratory mice can be markedly improved without affecting the standardization of results.
