But it is more common use 2D visualizations such as slices of tomography or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) always used for medical education and medical diagnosis, than use 3D design or model. The purpose of this study is to create a procedure or flow for the manufacture of a bone anatomical model using FDM technology, and this can be accepted for educational applications and a future implementation in health establishments or university centers. Then, the selection and generation of polygonal meshes were segmented with Invesalius 3.1 software. Also, Meshmixer software was used for cleaning and optimize meshes. Finally, with the use of Netfabb software, the 3D design was prepared for subsequent domestic 3D printing. In the methodology of this research, medical images from a computed tomography will be used, as well as the Invesalius, Meshmixer, Netfabb software, which will help 3D design of the femur, and finally 3D printing of the bone model. Likewise, together with the analysis of the results of the acceptance survey of the three-dimensional model, the cost of manufacturing and the implementation of this new flow of manufacturing anatomical models will be obtained.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125024636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing is a form of socially responsible investing promoting sustainability. ESG ratings quantitatively measure the sustainable practices of companies, with lower ratings meaning more sustainable practices adopted. With the goal of contributing to United Nations' sustainable development goal number 17, first, we present a methodology for creating a dataset that houses both ESG and financial parameters of publicly listed companies worldwide. Second, we present a framework for conducting statistical analysis and leveraging machine learning techniques to gauge the importance of ESG parameters for investment decisions and how they affect financial performance of firms. For companies with the best ESG ratings, ‘return on equity’ was found to be greater than rest of the companies. While using linear and random forest regression models, prediction accuracy of growth variables ‘profit margin’ and 'return on assets' increased when ESG data was used along with financial data as input. Companies having the highest 'profit margins' were the ones having the best ESG ratings. With this study, we hope to bolster worldwide collaboration for sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132514928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective is to observe the reduction in the wound area and relate it to the influence of skin resistance and the chosen blood elements. The experiment consisted of a randomized, double-blind clinical trial separated into two protocols groups: SUS Protocol and Rapha® Protocol. The Control Group received the SUS treatment that consisted of calcium alginate and silver foam dressing. Whereas the Experimental Group performed self-care daily utilizing the Rapha® Protocol. After obtaining the measurements, we plotted the graphs to observe the relationship of each variable. Thereby, it is noticeable that the behavior of the GSR is inversely proportional to the injury area. On the other hand, this suggests that the galvanic resistance may indicate healed skin quality, while the blood factors may impact the healing time.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121854399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They often are not permitted to work or receive monetary benefits while holding refugee status or seeking asylum. Where allowed, they face discrimination and other challenges associated with their status. Despite the perception of refugees as a financial burden on a host country, research suggests they can positively impact an economy if provided with opportunities to work. Existing crowd working platforms are not designed to accommodate refugees and displaced persons and the constraints in which they operate. Major challenges in designing and deploying a crowd working system for displaced persons include identity authentication, matching qualified workers with tasks, training workers, device heterogeneity, and intermittent and low quality Internet connectivity, payment, and tax issues. In this paper, we proposed Nanojobs, an open crowd working platform for refugees and displaced persons. We provide a high level conceptual overview of the platform based on six design principles and a summary of the current status of the project.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128875324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

E-waste is a global problem that is becoming an increasing burden on low-to-middle income countries. These low-to-middle income countries are the recipients of large volumes of e-waste per annum from higher income countries. In certain countries, precious metals are extracted from e-waste, however, this only marginally reduces the stockpiles of waste material, rendering much of it unusable. The objectives of this paper are to highlight the feasibility of re-engineering and upcycling e-waste as a workable route to waste management, using robotics as an example application area. Our methods included sourcing e-waste, identifying and isolating different usable parts from the waste, and re-engineering these into a flexible end effector with complete, coupled, rotational and translational freedom. We further develop active alternative control systems with passive elastic recovery. Our work shows there is feasibility in re-engineering e-waste to manufacture functional electro-mechanical products and devices, and that upcycling e-waste in this way is a step towards responsible e-waste management through engineering knowledge and practice. Our work also highlights some of the impracticalities and challenges involved in e-waste upcycling.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133019421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, about 75% of school-age children in rural areas of the world do not have access to the Internet at home. In the Ecuadorian context, only 5.1% of the rural population uses the Internet in public/state schools. Therefore, actions are necessary to reduce the digital gap to improve the quality of education in rural communities in Ecuador. An initiative of IEEE Ecuador, with the support of IEEE SIGHT and the Municipality of Nabón, allowed the rehabilitation of a data network in 40 schools in the Nabón community in 2020. This paper examines the impact of the project, through of the collection of quantitative and qualitative data through stakeholder surveys, to evaluate the impact of data network rehabilitation in the community during the first year of operation. The results show that the Internet in schools has improved the quality of education for students, has allowed children and young people to have access to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has decreased the dropout rate in the benefited schools. The Internet service in schools has also allowed families to save money and entertain themselves. The paper also reports on the evaluation of the social impact of the project, through a Social Return On Investment (SROI) analysis.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"11 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115481923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
