Abstract
Building rehabilitation is a reality, and all phases of rehabilitation work need to be efficiently sustainable and promote healthy places to live in. Current procedures for assessing construction conditions are time-consuming, laborious and expensive and pose threats to the health and safety of engineers, especially when inspecting locations that are not easy to access. In the initial step, a survey of the condition of the building is carried out, which subsequently implies the elaboration of a report on existing pathologies, intervention solutions, and associated costs. This survey involves an inspection of the site (through photographs and videos). Also, biological growth can threaten the humans inhabiting the houses. The World Health Organization states that the most important effects are increased prevalences of respiratory symptoms, allergies and asthma, as well as perturbation of the immunological system. This work aims to alert to this fact and contribute to detecting and locating biological growth (BG) defects automatically in images of the facade of buildings. To make this possible, we need a dataset of images of building components with and without biological growths. At this moment, that database doesn't exist. So, we need to construct that dataset to use deep learning models in the future. This paper also identifies the steps to do that work and presents some real cases of building facades with BG and solutions to repair those defects. The conclusions and the future works are identified.

Abstract
Data management solutions became highly expensive and ineffective mainly due to the lack of transparent processes and procedures to measure and provide clear guidance on the steps needed to implement them. The organizations and specialists agree that the only manner solve the data management issues requires the implementation of data governance. Many of those attempts had failed previously because they were based only on IT, with rigid processes and activities frequently split by systems or the areas supported by systems and their data. It shows that Data governance has been acquiring significant relevance. However, a consensus or even a holist approach was not achieved so far. This paper that is part of an ongoing thesis research that aims to identify the main gaps and opportunities by summarizing and study the literature consistently and as result at the end of the research it will propose a standard framework for data governance measuring its impact on the Data Governance maturity level before and after its implementation and thus as contribute to the community by trying to mitigate the problems found.

Abstract
Density functional calculation of electronic structures of materials is one of the most used techniques in theoretical solid state physics. These calculations retrieve single electron wavefunctions and their eigenenergies. The berry suite of programs amplifies the usefulness of DFT by ordering the eigenstates in analytic bands, allowing the differentiation of the wavefunctions in reciprocal space. It can then calculate Berry connections and curvatures and the second harmonic generation conductivity. The berry software is implemented for two dimensional materials and was tested in hBN and InSe. In the near future, more properties and functionalities are expected to be added.Program summary Program Title: berry CPC Library link to program files: https://doi .org /10 .17632 /mpbbksz2t7 .1 Developer's repository link: https://github .com /ricardoribeiro -2020 /berry Licensing provisions: MIT Programming language: Python3 Nature of problem: Differentiation of Bloch wavefunctions in reciprocal space, numerically obtained from a DFT software, applied to two dimensional materials.

Abstract
The practical application of knowledge acquired during undergraduate studies is crucial for students to address real-world problems and seek solutions. The SMAR PD3 didactic plant provides a conducive environment for experiments in systems such as level and flow, common in various industrial sectors. Cascade control, an approach that sequentially uses two or more controllers, stands out as a promising strategy to enhance precision and stability in industrial processes. This work proposes a study on cascade control in flow and level systems, demonstrating its application in the didactic plant. The process involved system identification, tuning of conventional and cascade PI and PID controllers, followed by the implementation of the Successive Loop Closure technique. Results, in line with specialized literature, indicate that the implementation of cascade controllers in the industry can improve specific processes affected by disturbances or changes in variables, directly impacting the overall functioning of the process.

Abstract
As one of the functions integrating energy management systems, state estimation (SE) is instrumental in monitoring power networks, allowing the best possible use of energy resources. It plays a decisive role in debugging if sufficient data are available, ruined if not. Criticality analysis (CA) integrates SE as a module in which elements of the estimation process-taken one-by-one or grouped (tuples of minimal multiple cardinality)-are designated essential. The combinatorial nature of extensive CA (ExtCA), derestricted from identifying only low-cardinality critical tuples, characterizes its computational complexity and imposes defiant limits in implementing it. This paper presents the methodology for ExtCA and compares algorithms to find an efficient solution for expanding the boundaries of this analysis problem. The algorithms used for comparison are one sequential Branch&Bound (a well-known paradigm for combinatorial optimization recently used in ExtCA) and two new parallels implemented on the central processing unit (CPU) and the graphics processing unit (GPU). The conceived parallel architecture favors evaluating massive combinations of diverse cardinality measuring unit (MU) tuples in ExtCA. The acronym MU refers to the aggregate of devices deployed at substations, such as a remote terminal unit, intelligent electronic device, and phasor measurement unit. The numerical results obtained in the paper show significant speed-ups with the novel parallel GPU algorithm, tested on different and real-scale power grids. Since, the visualization of the ExtCA results is still not a well-explored field, this work also presents a novel way of graphically depicting spots of weak observability using MU-oriented ExtCA.

Abstract
Cyber-resilience is a relatively recent concept that, in essence, adds risk management to the cybersecurity concept and extends the scope of its action to processes and people, in addition to the technological component. It aims to ensure that organizations, systems, and especially critical infrastructures of our society function properly regardless of their dependence on cybernetic resources that may be affected by adverse events. Considering that the ongoing digital transition increases the exposure of such infrastructures to physical and cyberspace threats, this article reports on an exploratory study supported by bibliographical research, which aimed to analyze recent scientific publications to determine the relevance of cyber-resilience in the context of national security and defense. Although the number of publications focused on cyber-resilience is still relatively reduced when compared to the number of publications related to cybersecurity, there is a growing interest in exploring cyber-resilience in areas such as international relations, internal security, and national defense, which are fundamental pillars of the security and defense of States. © 2024, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao.
