“…While treated oil has the potential to be recycled and reused as a renewable energy source, improperly disposed UCO can present a harmful agent to many ecosystems [32]. Knowing that the vast majority of the domestic cooking oil is not forwarded towards recycling [6], an efficient solution for oil collection is needed. This section focuses on the specification of a state-of-the-art, edge-intelligent architecture to cope with the requirements of an efficient, widely spread network of collection bins.…”

“…And private entities responsible for public areas-Typically, domestic cooking oil collection points, located in public spaces, tend to suffer from the accumulation of dirt and grease caused by spills and excess of deposited waste [6]. Despite this, the need to have appropriate oil disposal points, the collection bins, became essential in the city landscape.…”

“…User engagement-According to [6], in Portugal, only 1.8% of all the used cooking oil produced by the domestic sector is forwarded for recycling. Given that this residue, when incorrectly disposed of, constitutes an environmental threat, and it may also have the potential to be reused as an alternative energy source, the first goal of the system would be to raise awareness among citizens for the importance of UCO recycling.…”

In Portugal, more than 98% of domestic cooking oil is disposed of improperly every day. This avoids recycling/reconverting into another energy. Is also may become a potential harmful contaminant of soil and water. Driven by the utility of recycled cooking oil, and leveraging the exponential growth of ubiquitous computing approaches, we propose an IoT smart solution for domestic used cooking oil (UCO) collection bins. We call this approach SWAN, which stands for Smart Waste Accumulation Network. It is deployed and evaluated in Portugal. It consists of a countrywide network of collection bin units, available in public areas. Two metrics are considered to evaluate the system’s success: (i) user engagement, and (ii) used cooking oil collection efficiency. The presented system should (i) perform under scenarios of temporary communication network failures, and (ii) be scalable to accommodate an ever-growing number of installed collection units. Thus, we choose a disruptive approach from the traditional cloud computing paradigm. It relies on edge node infrastructure to process, store, and act upon the locally collected data. The communication appears as a delay-tolerant task, i.e., an edge computing solution. We conduct a comparative analysis revealing the benefits of the edge computing enabled collection bin vs. a cloud computing solution. The studied period considers four years of collected data. An exponential increase in the amount of used cooking oil collected is identified, with the developed solution being responsible for surpassing the national collection totals of previous years. During the same period, we also improved the collection process as we were able to more accurately estimate the optimal collection and system’s maintenance intervals.

How Narcissistic Injury May Contribute to Reactive Violence: A Case Example Using Stanley Kubrick's The Shining

To many observers, reactive violence can present as a puzzling phenomenon. Offenders often report experiencing cognitive distortions during the event. Offenders may have no history of violence, yet crime scenes are often described as "horrific." When violence manifests, the motive often seems vastly disproportionate to any precipitating factor. Reactive violence is fueled by intense emotions, although they may not be evident before or during the event. How best to reconcile these findings and provide a parsimonious and coherent explanation? Psychoanalytic theory can illuminate the psychological processes that may underlie reactive violence. In particular, how narcissistic injury can generate impulsive aggression in vulnerable individuals. I draw upon Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining to study the phenomenon. While The Shining is a fictional horror film in which a family is tormented by supernatural forces, I argue that the horror does not emanate from paranormal sources; rather, it is found within human psychology.
