Recycling Untreated Coal Bottom Ash with Added Value for Mitigating Alkali–Silica Reaction in Concrete: A Sustainable Approach

Each year, about 730 million tons of bottom ash is generated in coal fired power plants worldwide. This by-product can be used as partial replacement for Portland cement, favoring resource conservation and sustainability. Substantial research has explored treated and processed coal bottom ash (CBA) for possible use in the construction industry. The present research explores using local untreated and raw CBA in mitigating the alkali–silica reaction (ASR) of reactive aggregates in concrete. Mortar bar specimens incorporating various proportions of untreated CBA were tested in accordance with ASTM C1260 up to 150 days. Strength activity index (SAI) and thermal analysis were used to assess the pozzolanic activity of CBA. Specimens incorporating 20% CBA achieved SAI greater than 75%, indicating pozzolanic activity. Mixtures incorporating CBA had decreased ASR expansion. Incorporating 20% CBA in mixtures yielded 28-day ASR expansion of less than the ASTM C1260 limit value of 0.20%. Scanning electron microscopy depicted ASR induced microcracks in control specimens, while specimens incorporating CBA exhibited no microcracking. Moreover, low calcium-to-silica ratio and reduced alkali content were observed in specimens incorporating CBA owing to alkali dilution and absorption, consequently decreasing ASR expansion. The toxicity characteristics of CBA indicated the presence of heavy metals below the US-EPA limits. Therefore, using local untreated CBA in concrete as partial replacement for Portland cement can be a non-hazardous alternative for reducing the environmental overburden of cement production and CBA disposal, with the added benefit of mitigating ASR expansion and its associated costly damage, leading to sustainable infrastructure.
Motherhood in Context—Life Course Interviews with Young Mothers in Contact with Child Welfare

Background: The purpose of this article is to explore how a sample of young mothers in contact with child welfare services in Norway narrate their transition to motherhood and their relation with child welfare services. Methods: The article is based on life-course interviews with the mothers, on which we have conducted a content analysis inspired by narrative theory. Results: Results show that whereas the mothers deviated from common expectations of predictability and orderliness before they became mothers, they strived to provide a “good enough” situation for their children in line with expectations in larger society ever after. Nevertheless, the complex disadvantages that the mothers said they had in several life domains concerning social networks and family support, education, working life, housing, and that were apparently already in their transition to adulthood, were likely to increase even after the mothers had decided to enter the mothering role in socially acceptable ways. Conclusions: The article concludes that child welfare services may contribute positively by acknowledging the complexity of young mothers’ living context when assessing mothering practices.

Student's Statistical Literacy skills Based on the Reflective and Impulsive Cognitive Styles

This study aimed to describe students' statistical literacy skills based on their reflective-impulsive cognitive style. This study employed descriptive exploratory research with the qualitative approach. The data collecting techniques used were tests, interviews, and field notes. The data analysis techniques employed were data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. This study discovered that students’ reflective and impulsive cognitive styles influence their statistical literacy skills such as the ability to construct or interpret information or statistical data, understand statistical concepts, and represent the statistical data in a different form. Students with the reflective cognitive style were different from students with the impulsive cognitive style on statistical literacy skills, especially in evaluating statistical information or arguments. Students with the reflective cognitive style tended to be more critical in evaluating statistical information or arguments by providing arguments based on the results of analytical calculations. Students with the impulsive cognitive style used analytical processes in drawing statistical conclusions. Students with the impulsive cognitive style lacked cognitive maturity and tended to use processes holistically rather than analytically in drawing statistical conclusions.
Thermoelectric properties of rare-earth lead selenide alloys and lead chalcogenide nanocomposites

Thermoelectric technology offers a reliable, environmentally clean, and maintenancefree method for power generation and temperature control applications. The main drawback traditionally has been its low efficiency in comparison with conventional heat engines. The developments in the last two decades in the understanding of nanoscale effects on thermoelectric properties of materials and new ways of enhancing the thermoelectric properties have led to resurgence in the interest in thermoelectricity. The efficiency of a thermoelectric device is a function of the dimensionless figure of merit of the material ZT whose value has been limited to a low value of about 1 in bulk materials at all temperature ranges. Large values of ZT require high thermopower, high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity, an intrinsically contradictory requirement. Since all the three quantities of the material are interconnected, it has not proven possible, in practice, to increase the ZT of bulk materials higher than a certain limit. To enable a more widespread usage of thermoelectric technology power generation and heating/cooling applications, ZT of at least 2-3 is required. The three properties that make up the figure of merit can be decoupled by the use of certain techniques. In this work, we investigate the effect of two such methods on the thermoelectric properties: (1) Use of rare earth dopants with f -orbitals situated
A New Simple Method for the Evaluation of Mineral Elements in Different Oilseeds

ABSTRACT A method for the analysis of seven mineral contents—that is, potassium (K), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu)—was investigated in some oilseeds like flax, sesame, pumpkin, quinoa, and yellow mustard. X-ray Spectral Analysis method with Spectrometer EDX-900HS was used for the analytical concentrations of the macro and micro elements of the oilseeds. A relatively high level of Zn content was found in sesame and pumpkin seeds, while the highest level of Fe content was found in mustard seeds. Regarding the macro elements (K, Ca, and P) content, the highest levels of concentration were found in flax and mustard seeds. The highest values of Cu were obtained in sesame seeds while those of Mn were in pumpkin and brown flax seeds. The results showed that the method is a reliable and simple analytical procedure to characterize mineral elements in oilseeds with a very high analytical performance.
Knowledge Index of Women Goat Farmers in Various Aspirational Districts of Niti-Ayog in West Bengal, India

Animal husbandry is a significant contributor in rural economy and plays vital role socioeconomic status of the rural people as a mean of employment provider, especially to women folk. With very less investments, goat rearing can be turned into a lucrative venture for women livestock owners. In India, about 70 percent of female work forces were engaged in livestock farming and women were key stakeholder for goat rearing in backyard system apart from their household works (Swaminathan, 1985). Goat farming has tremendous potential for income and employment generation, especially in rural areas (Singh et al., 2013). Knowledge is the body of information possessed by an individual or by a culture which is an intimate acquaintance of an individual with facts. Knowledge helps in adoption of any improved or new technology or practices many times. In aspirational districts, women are the major force to uplift the International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 12 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Auditor Switching, Financial Distress, and Financial Statement Fraud Practices with Audit Report Lag as Intervening Variable

This research aims to examine Auditor Switching and Financial Distress's effect on the possibility of Financial Statement Fraud occurrence, which is proxied by using the F-Score formula, and Audit Report Lag Intervening variable. This study's subjects are companies engaged in manufacturing and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) with a research period in 2014-2018. The sample in this study used a non-probabilistic purposive sampling technique with a total of 27 manufacturing companies. The analysis technique in this study uses Partial Least Square (PLS) with smart PLS 3.0 tools. Results indicate that financial distress and audit report lag directly affect Financial Statement fraud. Auditor report lag as an intervening variable does not influence the relationship between auditor switching, financial distress, and Financial Statement fraud. These results imply that investors must be more careful in investing in the company with a lag in their audit reports. It is also suggested that management must continue to be cautious with the opportunity to do fraud in the financial statement.
A Dataset of Workforce Job Counts for British Local Authority Districts, 1981-2018

This paper presents workforce job counts for British local authority districts between the years 1981 and 2018. The estimates are produced by adjusting local authority job counts drawn from the Census of Employment, Annual Employment Survey, Annual Business Inquiry, and Business Register and Employment Survey to match regional job counts drawn from the Workforce Jobs dataset. The result is a measure of sub-regional workforce jobs which is consistent with publicly available national statistics, and can be motivated as a maximum entropy estimator. To illustrate the use of the dataset, the employment effects of European Union Objective 1 funding are examined using a synthetic control method.
Assessment of Phosphorous Release from Bat Guano with Respect to Their use as Organic Fertilizers in Crop Production

Bat guano from Kisarawe cave A (BGK-A), Kisarawe cave B (BGK-B) and Sukumawera cave (BGS) in Tanzania were studied in a laboratory incubation experiment for 112 days to assess the phosphorus release patterns and establish the pick periods of P mineralization. Total P contents from BGK-A, BGK-B and BGS were 8.55, 7.03 and 3.45 % respectively. Bat guano from each deposit mixed with soil at varying rates of 0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg P 200 g-1 soil. The experiment was arranged in 3×5 factorial experiment in randomized complete design (RCD) with three replications. Results showed a gradual increase of P availability from 28 days to 84 days of incubation; followed by a slow decrease up to the 112th day of incubation. P release (availability) from the studied guano was in the order of BGK-B 0.8) with P released in the soil throughout incubation period. It was concluded that P release from the three bat guano deposits in soils is gradual and reaches the pick in almost three months after application. Thus, it should be applied at least two months before planting for more effectiveness of P release.
Comparative Studies Using Various Substrates for Enhancing Yield of Pleurotus spp

Since life began on earth, fungi have evolved since then. In Greek the term “mushroom” means “Sphonggos” meaning, sponge like structure. The term mushroom represents fungi, having stem (stipe), cap (pileus), hymenium (lamellae) and spores on the underside of the cap (Masarirambi et al., 2011). The edible mushroom has been consumed by people since ancient times. Mushroom consumption have been increasing day by day due ti its significant role in human health and nutrition (Khan et al., 2005). Mushroom world production accounts for 29,000 Mt, off which Agaricus, Pleurotus, Lentinus, Auricularia, Flammulina and Volvariella are the dominant cultivated taxa International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 11 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Use of Coconut Oil Massage versus Olive Oil Massage on Selected Physical and Physiological Parameters among Low Birth Weight Newborns in Selected Hospitals, in West Bengal

The most significant contributing factor of neonatal mortality and morbidity is low birth weight (LBW). Oil massage helps in growth and development in LBW infants. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of coconut oil versus olive oil massage on selected physical and physiological parameters among LBW newborns. Ethical permission was taken. The study design is quasi experimental time series design. 30 LBW newborns (10 in coconut, 10 in olive & 10 in control group) were selected by non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected from NICU by using valid and reliable Record Analysis, Physical Assessment, Modified Brazelton’s Scale and Maturity Assessment Scale. 10 ml /kg/day oil applied once only for 15 minutes upto 28th day. Weight, length, head and chest circumference, sleep, cry and maturity were assessed on 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th day for each newborn. The result showed that there were no significant difference in physical parameters on 29th day of observation among three groups except weight gain (F=8.70, p=0.001207). There were significant difference in all post assessments of sleep. There were significant difference in cry score on 15th day (p=0.007701) and 22nd day (p=0.000758) of observation. Statistically significant differences were not found in all assessment of maturity. It can be concluded that oil massage has positive effect, compared to control. The study has a great implication in nursing service by practicing oil massage helps to gain weight and improve behaviour among LBW newborns. A similar study could be conducted using large sample for generalization.
Raman Microscopic Studies of Antimicrobial Reactions in Solution, Crystals, and Bacterial cells.

By HOSSEIN HEIDARI TORKABADI Raman spectroscopy utilizing a Raman microscope can be used to study various biological samples. Based on approaches using difference spectroscopy, rapid mix rapid freeze, and freeze drying of enzyme-inhibitor mixtures and bacterial cells, we developed several novel protocols. These enabled us to identify the enzymatic reaction intermediates and inhibition pathways in aqueous solutions and inside cells. The recent results complement the reactions of various β-lactamases with different inhibitors in single crystals, elucidated in the Carey laboratory for more than a decade. Taken together, the in vitro results allow us to characterize the populations and reactions of drug molecules inside bacterial cells. A Raman microscope was used with a combination of rapid mix rapid freeze, and freeze drying to study the reaction of SHV-1 β-lactamase with tazobactam, and trap early intermediates in a dilute aqueous solution milliseconds after mixing. To extend the comparison of solution and crystal reactions, we used another clinically important βlactamase enzyme, CTX-M-9 reacting with clavulanic acid, sulbactam, or tazobactam. We identified an infrequent path of inhibition for this enzyme when reacted with each of the three inhibitors. In solution and in single crystals, each formed an irreversible βalkoxyacrylate species.
On the drivers of droplet variability in Alpine mixed-phase 
clouds

Abstract. Droplet formation provides a direct microphysical link between aerosols and clouds (liquid or mixed phase), and its adequate description poses a major challenge for any atmospheric model. Observations are critical for evaluating and constraining the process. Towards this, aerosol size distributions, cloud condensation nuclei, hygroscopicity and lidar-derived vertical velocities were observed in Alpine mixed-phase clouds during the Role of Aerosols and Clouds Enhanced by Topography on Snow (RACLETS) field campaign in the Davos, Switzerland region during February and March 2019. Data from the mountain-top site of Weissfluhjoch (WFJ) and the valley site of Davos Wolfgang are studied. These observations are coupled with a state-of-the art droplet activation parameterization to investigate the aerosol-cloud droplet link in mixed-phase clouds. The mean CCN-derived hygroscopicity parameter, κ, at WFJ ranges between 0.2–0.3, consistent with expectations for continental aerosol. κ tends to decrease with size, possibly from an enrichment in organic material associated with the vertical transport of fresh ultrafine particle emissions (likely from biomass burning) from the valley floor in Davos. The parameterization provides droplet number that agrees with observations to within ~25 %. We also find that the susceptibility of droplet formation to aerosol concentration and vertical velocity variations can be appropriately described as a function of the standard deviation of the distribution of updraft velocities, σw, as the droplet number never exceeds a characteristic limit, termed limiting droplet number, of ~150–550 cm−3, which depends solely on σw. We also show that high aerosol levels in the valley, most likely from anthropogenic activities, increase cloud droplet number, reduce cloud supersaturation (<0.1 %) and shift the clouds to a state that is less susceptible to aerosol and become very sensitive to vertical velocity variations. The transition from aerosol to velocity-limited regime depends on the ratio of cloud droplet number to the limiting droplet number, as droplet formation becomes velocity-limited when this ratio exceeds 0.5. Under such conditions, droplet size tends to be minimal, reducing the likelihood that large drops are present that promote glaciation through rime splintering and droplet shattering. Identifying regimes where droplet number variability is dominated by dynamical – rather than aerosol – changes is key for interpreting and constraining when and which types of aerosol effects on clouds are active.

15N and 13C Enrichment in Balanus perforatus: Tracers of Municipal Particulate Waste in the Murter Sea (Central Adriatic, Croatia)

13 C and δ 15 N values observed in organisms from both areas suggest that this benthic invertebrate could be a potential biomonitor for sewage-derived nutrients in coastal seas. Both nitrogen and carbon were enriched in heavy isotopes in organisms collected in Pirovac Bay, as well as in those from the area around the fish farm at Vrgada Island. These point toward an increased input of 15 N and 13 C enriched anthropogenic and/or aquaculture derived nitrogen and carbon into the local marine ecosystem. It is suggested that benthic filter feeders, such as B. perforatus, could be useful sentinels for detecting anthropogenicallyderived inputs of nutrients into the coastal marine ecosystems. However, to get a better insight into the transfer rates of anthropogenic C and N into the food web, more extended research on a larger population is needed, as well as a detailed investigation of seasonal variation of abundance and isotopic composition of particulate organic matter as their presumed food source.
