Día de los Muertos
Día de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead, is celebrated primarily on November 1st and 2nd. These dates coincide with the Catholic holidays of All Saints’ Day (November 1st) and All Souls’ Day (November 2nd). The celebration is most strongly associated with Mexico but is also observed in other Latin American countries and among Hispanic communities in the United States and elsewhere.
It is a time for families to come together to celebrate the lives of those who have passed away. Altars, or ofrendas, are typically set up with offerings that can include food, marigold flowers, candles, sugar skulls, photographs of the deceased, and other items with personal significance. These ofrendas are often displayed at homes, in cemeteries, and in public places.
While Día de los Muertos is a multi-day celebration, the specific customs and traditions can vary by region and community. In some places, celebrations begin on October 31st and extend through November 2nd. The holiday is a unique blend of indigenous beliefs and Catholicism, resulting in a colorful and vibrant celebration that focuses on honoring the memory of the deceased rather than mourning their loss.
Construction Spend
“The Ideal City” (c. 1480) Fra Carnavale
Today at 15:00 UTC we run a status check on regulations, accredited consensus products, and consortia standards that inform the safety and sustainability of the real assets of education communities. It is a large topic and we generally only have time to skim the surface of most of a few of them. Of the few, we locate the highest priority then place it on the agenda of the corresponding daily colloquia.
Some of the stars to steer by:
- Tax-free bond markets that provide financing for new square-footage and renovated square-footage; operations and maintenance
- Status of the movement in codes and standards for labor and material; safety and sustainability
- Expansion of building premise safety and sustainability consensus product scopes onto the spaces between buildings
- The renovation-versus-new construction conundrum
- Construction activity data points for education and university-affiliated healthcare facilities
According to IBISWorld Market Research the Educational Service market in the United States runs through about $1600 billion annually. and includes all the soft costs (i.e. nonreal, which is our primary focus) of sustaining civilization.
This is a kludgey number but, when used with other data points collected by government agencies, non-profit trade associations, construction market participants and anecdotes, provides perspective on how to build and maintain the architecture of education communities.
We pick through one or two prospectuses of educational bond offerings uploaded onto the Electronic Municipal Market Access website to see how the money will be spent; particularly how ongoing operation and maintenance expenditures are distinguished (if at all) from capital outlays intended to seed community growth. There are many parties and counterparties involved in the money flow through tax-free education bonds. In some cases, interest groups (such as labor unions) promote school bond referenda in order to secure work for their members.

Small Cafe Kitchen Layout Strategy
Ensuring safety and sustainability in small kitchenettes is crucial for the well-being of individuals and the environment. While specific standards may vary by location and regulations, here is a general list of safety and sustainability standards that are commonly applicable to small kitchenettes:
- Fire Safety:
- Adequate fire suppression systems (fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems).
- Fire-resistant materials in construction.
- Proper ventilation to prevent the accumulation of smoke and fumes.
- Electrical Safety:
- Compliance with electrical codes and standards.
- Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for electrical outlets.
- Regular inspection and maintenance of electrical appliances.
- Gas Safety:
- Installation and maintenance of gas appliances according to safety standards.
- Gas leak detection and emergency shut-off systems.
- Appliance Safety:
- Certification from relevant safety agencies for kitchen appliances.
- Proper installation and maintenance of appliances.
- Adequate spacing between appliances to prevent overheating.
- Ventilation and Air Quality:
- Effective ventilation systems to remove cooking odors, smoke, and pollutants.
- Use of energy-efficient ventilation systems to promote sustainability.
- Water Conservation:
- Low-flow faucets and water-efficient appliances.
- Regular maintenance to fix leaks promptly.
- Water-saving practices communicated to users.
- Waste Management:
- Separate bins for recycling and composting.
- Proper disposal of hazardous materials, such as cooking oils.
- Education on waste reduction and recycling practices.
- Energy Efficiency:
- Energy-efficient lighting and appliances.
- Use of natural light when possible.
- Regular maintenance of equipment to ensure optimal efficiency.
- Accessibility:
- Design considerations for individuals with disabilities.
- Clear pathways and accessible storage options.
- Hygiene and Sanitation:
- Adequate handwashing facilities.
- Regular cleaning and sanitation schedules.
- Pest control measures.
Specific requirements may vary based on the size of the kitchenette, its location, and the intended use. There are state, municipal and organizational variants on the nationally developed standards.

Abstract: Augmented Intelligence technology was introduced for the task of helping improve human work in various fields, one of which is education. Several problems in the learning process, which are currently completely virtual, raise new problems, especially related to practicums which require teaching modules as guidelines for practicum implementation but still maintain the impression of interactive learning. For this reason, Augmented Reality technology is applied as a solution to build a practical human anatomy module, then called AIVE Platform embedded in smartphones to provide informative and immersive learning that can be run indoors or outdoors so that it is not limited by space and time. This platform can run on Android and iOS which is built on the AR Foundation framework to work across platforms. This module has followed the rules of the anatomical atlas that include labels on each part, there is also a login system to store student usage history, as well as the choice of learning mode. This module has been licensed to operate from a teaching doctor in anatomy to be used as a teaching module. The PIECES framework used to analyze the importance and satisfaction level of the platform gives score 4.085 out of 5 on and 4.081 out of 5 respectively.

Electromagnetic Interference in the Intensive Care Units of a University Hospital
Electromagnetic Interference in Hospital Environment:
Case Study of the Intensive Care Units of a University Hospital

Abstract: Electromagnetic (EM) sources are abundant in the routine of a hospital. Such sources can be for personal use, be part of the set of electromedical equipment or the building structure. This article presents the verification of electromagnetic interference between field sources and hospital devices, since electromagnetic interference is a factor that puts the correct functioning of these equipments at risk. As a consequence, patient’s lives are also put at risk. Since in many cases, the vitality of the patient depends exclusively on medical devices, electromagnetic fields were measured inside and outside the intensive care units (ICUs) of the University Hospital Alcides Carneiro (UHAC) with all hospital devices working normally. The electromagnetic field values obtained at the hospital were compared with the values imposed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
