Between Charges and Emotions: An Electromagnetic Analogy from Coulomb’s Law

Roberto Antony Larez — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 03:04:38 +0000

This paper presents a scientific analogy between the electric field and the emotional field, based on Coulomb’s Law. Through computational simulation, emotional interactions are modeled as positive, negative, or neutral charges, allowing the visualization of field lines, intensity, and superposition. Scenarios representing affective bonds, tensions, or neutrality within group environments are developed, offering an alternative perspective to understanding emotional dynamics through a formal physical structure. This proposal follows an interdisciplinary approach that bridges physics, education, and psychology, aiming to enhance the teaching of abstract concepts and foster reflection on human relationships.

Preventive and Predictive Maintenance in Telephone Exchanges: Theoretical Review

This study presents a bibliographic review conducted in Latin America using the PRISMA methodology to analyze preventive and predictive maintenance strategies applied to hybrid telephone exchanges. An initial search in academic databases yielded 1,034 records, which were narrowed down to 17 studies through rigorous inclusion criteria. The findings emphasize that preventive maintenance, based on scheduled inspections, addresses deficiencies in advance, ensuring service continuity and enhancing system performance. Predictive maintenance, supported by real-time monitoring and data analysis, identifies anomalies and potential failures before they occur. This approach extends equipment lifespan and reduces the need for corrective interventions, which are typically costly and disruptive. It is concluded that these maintenance strategies are complementary and, when integrated, contribute to efficient operation, optimal planning of interventions, and the sustainable and cost-effective management of hybrid telephone exchange systems.

Development of Resilient and Smart Tourism Infrastructures: An Approach from Sustainable Engineering for High-Demand Tourist Areas

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:06:32 +0000

An integral proposal is presented for the development of resilient and smart tourism infrastructures in high-demand areas, based on the principles of sustainable engineering. Through a technical model involving structural, energy, and climatic simulations, the feasibility of implementing solutions that optimize operational performance, reduce environmental impacts, and strengthen adaptation to climate change is demonstrated. The results validate the multidimensional approach, highlighting its practical applicability, regulatory coherence, and potential for replication. It is concluded that the convergence between technology, sustainability, and social participation is key to transforming the tourism of the future.
