Vaporization and autoignition characteristics of ethanol and 1-propanol droplets : influence of water

Detailed investigation of the vaporization of an isolated of ethanol and 1-propanol droplet was carried out in this experimental study. The experimental set-up consists of a heated chamber with a cross quartz fibers configuration as droplet support. An alcohol droplet is located at the intersection of the cross quartz fibre with a controlled initial diameter (300-600µm). Ambient temperature is varied from 298 to 973K at atmospheric pressure. The quasi-steady theory has been used to compare and to explain all experimental results. The real impact of the water concentration on the vaporization rate of an ethanol droplet is also examined, where two ‘quasi-steady’ periods are observed on the d2-curves, clearly showing that the vaporization of an ethanol droplet is accompanied by the simultaneous condensation of water vapour on the droplet surface and thus the temporal evolution of the droplet squared diameter exhibits an unsteady behavior. The histories of the instantaneous vaporization rates of both 1-propanol and ethanol droplets confirm this phenomenon. The autoignition experimental study of ethanol, 1-propanol and blends of ethanol and water have been carried out in a rapid compression machine at a compressed pressure of 30bar over a temperature range of 750-860K for stoichiometric mixture of fuel and air. The ignition delay times recorded show a significant decrease with increasing temperature. 1-propanol is more reactive than ethanol, which results in shorter ignition delay times. However, water addition to ethanol increases the reactivity of the mixture and results in a shorter ignition delay times than 1-propanol
Effect of Examination on Instructional Practices of Elementary School Teachers: A Mixed Methods Study

Examination conducted by the Punjab Examination Commission (PEC) at grade VIII is high-stakes as intended and unintended consequences are associated with result of the examination and influence teaching learning process in school. A mixed methods sequential explanatory study was conducted to investigate effects of the examination conducted by the PEC on instructional practices of teachers at elementary level in seven districts of the Punjab. In quantitative phase survey data was collected from 521 elementary school teachers teaching in seven districts of the Punjab selected through multistage random sampling. The quantitative results were used to select participants for qualitative phase of the study through maximum variation strategy of purposive sampling. Quantitative phase identified female teachers perceived more effects of examination on their instructional practices. Moreover, teachers belonged to age group 42-48 experienced most of the effects of examination on their instructional practices as compared to teachers belonged to other age groups. Similarly teachers belonged to district 3 (Okara) experienced more effects of examination on their instructional practices as compared to teachers serving in other districts. The qualitative data indicated that instruction was driven by the examination. Teacher centred instructional strategies were dominant. Paper pattern defined the instruction and tests were extensively practiced in classes. Teachers used strategies for helping students to attempt MCQs. One of the objectives of this examination reform was to improve teaching and learning and in the light of this study it remains rhetoric. The findings of the study have posed several challenges for examination board, curriculum and educational authorities in the Punjab
Synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite

The current work deals with the synthesis and the subsequent characterization of HAP. The characterization involves analysis of X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope, Particle size measurement, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Sintering and Pressing. In my project I have prepared HAP by the chemical precipitation method. There was also an experiment undertaken in order to ascertain if there is any change in pH by changing the stages of pH correction XRD patterns were studied of calcined and pre calcined HAP powders. Then the HAP produced was divided into 36 diff 0.8 g batches which were sintered in 3 batches at 1000 0 C, 1100 0 C & 1200 0 C amd then their respective densities were studied. From all the studies made we found out that there is an improvement in crystallinity of HA after calcination. Thermal stability is only upto 1300C.
The effectiveness of unconventional monetary policy on equity markets in the Eurozone

Within this research, the effects of exogenous innovations to the total assets of the ECB on European equity markets is measured and European financial integration of the stock markets is analysed. The estimation window is chosen for the period ranging between July 2007 and December 2017. The observations are split into two periods stretching from the summer of 2007 until the summer of 2012, to capture the impact during the time of crisis, and from August 2012 until December 2017, to analyse impacts in an environment of ≤0% interest rates. The analysis is conducted with a SVAR approach for both periods. Overall the results hint towards financial integration across the sampled stock markets, despite showing a negative lagged impact on equity returns following an expansion of the ECB’s total assets.
Association of milk flow curve and prevalence of mastitis pathogens in dairy cows

The objective of this work was to evaluate the association of bimodality of milk flow curves with microbiological status of mammary glands and parity of cows. We selected 167 primiparous and 148 multiparous Lithuanian Black and White dairy cows in 2nd to 4th month of lactation. The bimodality of milk flow was determined in 22.2% primiparous and in 38.6% multiparous cows (P less than 0.001). The most prevalent pathogens of mastitis were Staphylococcus aureus (15.3%), other staphylococci (22.2%) and streptococci (5.8%). Prevalence of mastitis pathogens in multiparous cows was 1.4 times and the bimodality of milk flow curves –1.7 times higher in comparison with primiparous cows (P less than 0.001). The bimodality of milk flow curve was mostly associated with the prevalence of Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus (P less than 0.001). The increased frequency of mastitis pathogens (21.5%) in cows with the bimodal milk flow curves supports the negative effect of bimodality on udder health of cows (P less than 0.001).
Making sense of the individual experience of those who undertake new role development in the workplace

Design/ Method/Approach The study, based on the lived experience of developing from a healthcare assistant to an assistant practitioner, was based on the philosophical assumption of understanding an experience at a particular time. Constructivism (Denzin and Lincoln, 2008) provided the conceptual framework and phenomenology the theoretical perspective. Experiential learning, action, reflection and professional knowledge framed the literature review to inform understanding at the commencement of the study. Eight participants were selected, through purposive sampling, from one acute NHS Trust in South East England. Their matron and mentor were interviewed for contextualisation. Interviews occurred at three stages, four months after commencing the Foundation Degree (FD) sixteen months after commencing the FD and six months after completing the FD. Each transcript was considered before moving to the next transcript, this allowed super-ordinate themes to be considered within groups before ascertaining similarities and differences across groups. The emergent and super-ordinate themes were synthesised to inform three over-arching super-ordinate themes. Purpose The purpose of the study was to generate an understanding of becoming an Assistant Practitioner through a work-based learning programme so that work-based learning programmes are designed and delivered to enable practitioners to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to undertake new roles from within. Findings The following over-arching super-ordinate themes emerged from analysis of the participants transcripts from the three phases of the study: Recognising the transition; the transition was not linear but was complex and influenced by the individuals’ behaviour, their ability to reflect and take action, and to demonstrate professional knowledge. Supporting the journey; the workplace culture needed to support experiential learning and provide time and space to facilitate reflection. Being an AP; a change in professional knowledge and behaviour resulted in enhanced confidence and self-belief and ability to be an AP. Originality/value This study, based on the lived experience of developing from a healthcare assistant to assistant practitioner, where participants remained in their place of work rather than undertake placements which is a requirement of regulated programmes, demonstrated that individuals need to recognise the consequences of the behaviours, engage in experiential learning, take action and demonstrate a change in professional knowledge.
Psychological Contract Violation: A Bridge between Unethical Behavior and Trust

Formation of intentional relationships which increase the organizational restrictions has confirmed a challenging struggle for managers. The corporation survey of supply chain revealed that the offender of firm communicates the most undersized area of their supply chain. There are some other problems faced by an organization, including the problems of trust, psychological contracts and the ethics. All these problems are considered as main features of buyer and seller relationships and provide a basis of present study. Generally, there are some incidences in the organization for the study that are unwritten but exciting on the significant performance variables. Organizations commitment regarding the contentment of their promises, known as psychological contract, is one of the classifications that should be examined. Therefore, present study attempts to investigate the mediating role of experience of psychological contract violation (EPCV) on the relationship between unethical behavior (UEB) and trust (TRS). For this purpose, study utilized the data of 179 operational managers of manufacturing industry of Thailand. Study applies structural equational modeling (SEM) approach for investigating the empirical results. Study used measurement model for testing the reliability and validity of each item and construct. Structural model is used for testing the proposed hypotheses of the study. Path analysis is conducted for examining the direct and indirect effects of the variables. Results of the study shows that EPCV significantly mediates the negative relationship between UEB and TRS.
Survey of Mental Health Care Providers’ Perspectives on the Everyday Ethics of Medical-Aid-in-Dying for People with a Mental Illness

Context: In most jurisdictions where medical-aid-in-dying (MAiD) is available, this option is reserved for individuals suffering from incurable physical conditions. Currently, in Canada, people who have a mental illness are legally excluded from accessing MAiD. Methods: We developed a questionnaire for mental health care providers to better understand their perspectives related to ethical issues in relation to MAiD in the context of severe and persistent suffering caused by mental illness. We used a mixed-methods survey approach, using a concurrent embedded model with both closed and open-ended questions. Findings: 477 healthcare providers from the province of Quebec (Canada) completed the questionnaire. One third of the sample (34.4%) were nurses, one quarter psychologists (24.3%) and one quarter psycho-educators (24%). Nearly half of the respondents (48.4%) considered that people with a severe mental illness should be granted the right to opt for MAiD as a way to end their suffering. Respondents were more likely to feel comfortable listening to the person and participating in discussions related to MAiD for a mental illness than offering care or the means for the person to access MAiD. Most (86.2%) reported that they had not received adequate/sufficient training, education or preparation in order to address ethical questions surrounding MAiD. Conclusions: The findings highlight how extending MAiD to people with a mental illness would affect daily practices for mental healthcare providers who work directly with people who may request MAiD. The survey results also reinforce the need for adequate training and professional education in this complex area of care.
Distribution and population structure and dynamics of the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) in the eastern Po Valley and its Delta (northeastern Italy)

Procambarus clarkii is among the “100 of the worst” invasive aliens in Europe. The geographic distribution and population dynamics of the species were studied for the first time in inland waters in the eastern Po Valley and its Delta, an area for which such information was absent. The geographic distribution of P. clarkii was assessed by sampling, in summer 2017, 12 geographically distant water bodies representative of an area of 3,000 km. Population dynamics was studied from 2017 to 2018, in a canal running through the town of Ferrara. Growth and longevity were estimated using the von Bertalanffy growth function. Procambarus clarkii was found in 100% of the water bodies sampled, indicating that red swamp crayfish has now completely colonized the eastern Po Valley, where interconnected field irrigation systems have allowed crayfish to spread almost everywhere. From the analysis of the polymodal frequency distributions, 5–6 growth cohorts were observed, each cohort corresponding to 1 year of age. Sex-ratio was 1:1, and no appreciable between-sex differences were found in growth patterns of crayfish population, except for the asymptotic length for which females approach higher values. Differences in life history parameters with other Italian populations may be due to latitudinal and different ecological conditions at our study sites.
Area–Time-Efficient Code-Based Postquantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism on FPGA

Postquantum cryptography attracts a lot of attention from the research community recently due to the emergence threat from quantum computer toward the conventional cryptographic schemes. In view of that, NIST had initiated the standardization process in 2017. Bit flipping key encapsulation (BIKE) designed by Aragon <italic>et al.</italic> is one of the promising code-based schemes among the round-3 candidates. BIKE utilizes a quasi-cyclic medium density parity check (QC-MDPC) code and incorporates a few variants derived from the McEliece, Niederreiter, and Ouroboros schemes. In this article, we present efficient and constant time implementation of BIKEI and BIKE-III in field-programmable gate array (FPGA), which has the best area–time efficiency so far. We proposed modification to the original one-round bit flipping algorithm to achieve more area–time-efficient decoding in hardware, which achieved latency of 464.73 and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$556.52~\mu \text{s}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> for BIKE-I and BIKE-III, respectively, in Virtex-7. A pipelined key encapsulation architecture is proposed to speedup the key encapsulation of BIKE-I and BIKE-III, achieving the latency of 146.47 and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$153.25~\mu \text{s}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> on the same FPGA platform. Considering the Artix-7 FPGA platform, our combined key generation and encapsulation module for BIKE-I is also three more area–time efficient compared with the state-of-the-art BIKE-I implementation by Aragon <italic>et al.</italic>
Are all politics masculine? Gender socialised personality traits and diversity in political engagement

Most research studying gender and political participation fails to problematise the measure of gender identity. Using 2012/13 Dutch Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences panel survey data, we investigate how gender-socialised personality traits relate to various types of political engagement. Baseline models show that, when significant, self-assessed socialised agentic/masculine traits are positively, and communal/feminine traits are negatively, related to political engagement, though only to activist types of engagement. Multivariate analyses reveal the positive link between agentic/masculine traits and very agentic forms of activity, including engaging with political parties and politicians and going to public hearings. Furthermore, the categorial gender/sex gap in participation matters independently of agentic/masculine traits and communal/feminine traits but the direction and size of the gap differs depending on the type of engagement considered.
ICT Infrastructure, ICT Competencies, and Teachers’ Workload: Critical Factors that Influence Social Studies Teachers’ Integration of Technology in the Kwahu West Municipality of Ghana

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that influence basic school social studies teachers’ integration of technology in the teaching of Social Studies in schools within the Kwahu-West Municipality of Ghana. The study sought to address the following objectives: To what extent do ICT infrastructure, teachers’ ICT competence and work load influence basic school social studies teachers’ integration of technology in their lessons in the Kwahu-West Municipality of Ghana? The study was a descriptive survey. Proportional simple random technique was employed in selecting sample size of eighty-one (81) Junior High School social studies from 46 public basic schools within the Kwahu West Municipality of Ghana. The data for the study was collected using questionnaires to solicit responds from the teachers. A Cronbach Alpha value of . 860 was obtained for the reliability of the items on the questionnaires. The data of the study was analyzed using Multiple Regression Analysis which established Rsquare (R 2 ) value of 0.7090 at 0.05 alpha level of significance. From the analysis, it was established that basic school teachers’ integration of technology in their social studies lessons were heavily influenced by the ICT infrastructure of their school, their ICT competence and their workloads in terms of number of periods they handled a week and other co-curriculum activities they have been asked to engage in. It was recommended that Government through Ministry of Education and other relevant stakeholders should ensure the provision of art-of-craft ICT infrastructure in basic schools within the municipality coupled with organization of regular in-service programs for teachers to upgrade their knowledge on technology integration.

“I wish I knew what I know now”: Exploring Psychology Undergraduate Students’ Experiences When Learning About Qualitative Research and CAQDAS

Learning to conduct qualitative research and use computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) can be challenging, which is why it may be more effective to introduce the craft of qualitative research to undergraduate students who have the time and space to learn, even make mistakes, and ultimately build a better understanding for their future studies and careers. There are relatively few published studies sharing insights on teaching qualitative research and CAQDAS to undergraduate students. This descriptive qualitative case study explores students’ experiences in a qualitative research course for undergraduate psychology students, with the aim of discerning how feasible learning both qualitative research and CAQDAS was for these students as well as how they perceived learning about these contents. Data was collected from an online open-ended survey from two consecutive generations of students that completed the course. Students found the course to be a challenging but worthwhile experience: new knowledge and skills were gained that they felt would be useful for their professional and even personal lives. These students recognized that the qualitative research course was an important complement to their predominantly quantitative curriculum. By teaching undergraduate students about qualitative research and CAQDAS, professors can teach their students in a lower-stakes environment and provide them with valuable hands-on experience so that students may later make better-informed decisions about which research approach to use in their own projects and continued studies or work.
Spatial heterogeneity of food web structure in a large shallow eutrophic lake (Lake Taihu, China): implications for eutrophication process and management

Abstract The knowledge of food web spatial heterogeneity is important for ecologists and lake managers to understand ecosystem complexity and lake management. Lake Taihu, a large shallow eutrophic lake in China, has two distinct zones: algae- and macrophyte-dominated. In this study, we assessed the spatial heterogeneity of food webs in the two lake zones using stable isotope analysis and isotope mixing model. The basal sources and consumers showed significant differences in δ13C and δ15N ratios between the two lake zones, except for the filter-feeding fishes. Overall, more δ13C-depleted and δ15N-enriched ratios were found in the algae- than the macrophyte-dominated zones for basal sources and consumers. Although the consumers in the algae-dominant zone had higher average δ15N values, the food web of the macrophyte-dominated zone had longer food chain length and more diverse trophic linkages. These spatial differences may have resulted from resource availability and environmental stress of Lake Taihu ecosystem. Factors associated with spatial trophic heterogeneity should be considered for the management and restoration of this shallow eutrophic lake.
