Efficient crystallization: Paving the way to 100% electrification in crystallization
Authors: Couplet Adrien , Couplet Vincent , Schellen Sébastien
Published: November 2024

This paper addresses the urgent need to decarbonize the beet sugar industry, driven by environmental and climate crises. Focusing on the crystallization stage of sugar production, De Smet Engineers & Contractors introduces the CRISTA-TOP® concept as an innovative configuration incorporating a flash/cooling crystallizer and enhancing the batch crystallization by reducing the massecuite level above the calandria while using high DS content standard liquor.
Compared to standard crystallization processes, the CRISTA-TOP® design reduces the total evaporation work by 43% and decreases waste heat by 53%. Additionally, the heating steam temperature for the evaporating crystallizers is reduced from 108 °C to 97 °C, further optimizing energy consumption.
This concept not only lowers the environmental footprint but also maintains high sugar quality. By electrifying the crystallization stage, CRISTA-TOP® enables the use of renewable electricity, which is particularly beneficial during syrup campaigns.
The development is based on a robust conceptual methodology to optimize and electrify a reference beet sugar factory, using advanced simulation models that can define multiple decarbonization pathways. De Smet Engineers & Contractors supports the industry’s energy transition and promotes sustainable practices globally.
Effect of factory reliability on bagasse usage and surplus
Authors: Mann Anthony , Broadfoot Ross
Published: November 2024

Poor factory reliability increases season length, reduces sugar production and reduces the supply of bagasse available for cogeneration and the production of by-products. The financial justification for capital expenditure, maintenance and control system upgrades usually account for the extended season length and lost sugar production associated with stoppages. However, the extra bagasse use due to stoppages is often harder to quantify, and, therefore, the resulting financial consequences are often not considered. This work attempts to quantify the effects of stoppages on bagasse use in factories so that the true costs of factory stoppages can be more accurately determined. Factory data have been used to predict the effects of long and short factory stops on bagasse consumption and surpluses. Calculations were carried out for a factory data set with a relatively small number of short stops and a factory data set with a large number of short stops. For both data sets, far more bagasse was lost due to short stops than long stops, and the quantity of bagasse consumed due to short stops represents a significant loss of revenue. Stops disrupt and increase the bagasse consumption of the boiler station in ways that are difficult to model, so it is likely that the calculations in this work underestimate the bagasse consumption and, therefore, revenue lost due to stops.

Kinship Terms in Malay-English Translations: Culture and the Perspective of Equivalence Theory
Authors: Sri Kanan Monisha , Chuah Rachel , Amini Mansour , Lee Kam Fong
Published: November 2024

Translation of kinship terms, as culture-specific items, is part of the many aspects of culture and language that is challenging for translators, and it is yet to be explored extensively in a systematic way. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative research design focusing on the translation analysis of the terms in English and Malay. A Malay animation, Puteri, and The Prince of Egypt, an American animated musical film was selected. The translated corpora were then analyzed from the perspective of Nida’s formal and functional equivalence theory. It was found that the Malay cartoon, had a higher frequency of functional equivalence, while the English cartoon had a nearly equal amount of both types of equivalence. It was concluded that since Malay culture prioritizes politeness and draws clear distinction of relationships in conversations, this element could not be overlooked in the translation to ensure that the target audience comprehend the terms. In The Prince of Egypt, formal equivalence was more as English kinship terminologies that are more “generic”. Therefore, complications of certain kinship terminologies would determine the type of strategy used by the translator. This study provides a clear picture regarding translation of such words, especially in Malay and that the challenging translation of two different cultures and languages using could be facilitated utilizing equivalence theory to solve some translation problems.

Authors: Ahmad Kamarul Ariffin , Idris Izazol
Published: November 2024

English entrance test is designed to select candidates to join English programmes that are offered in public universities. Many entrance test instruments have been developed to serve that purpose but there are quite a number of instruments which are developed by the lecturers are left without further investigation on how the instruments work to all the test-takers. This research analysed reading, vocabulary and grammar instrument that has been used in a public university in Malaysia as the entrance test for its English programme. The paper consists of 30 multiple-choice questions (10 questions for each section) and was administered to selected candidates who scored a minimum B+ grade in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. This research aimed to identify the reliability of the instrument, how each gender interacted with each of the items based on the comparison of the facility indices, to identify the DIF items and finally to classify them based on CEFR, Bloom’s taxonomy and grammar topic. Based on the analysis with Winsteps, this research found that the reliability of the instrument is very good (.98), female test-takers are better when it comes to higher vocabularies in CEFR, male candidates perform better than female counterparts when it comes to preposition and tenses, female candidates perform well when it comes to higher rank of items based on Bloom’s taxonomy, and there are three items flagged as showing DIF. This research concluded that, the instrument requires further improvements even though the reliability index is high. Some item which were flagged as showing DIF need to be reviewed and either be replaced or re-write.
Influence of the pre-service teachers’ language proficiency to their teaching competence
Authors: Dy Andrew S , Sumayao Ernil D
Published: November 2024

One of the often-overlooked competencies of a global teacher in the Philippines is language proficiency. The use of English as a medium of instruction in primary education occurs in Grade 4, succeeding the mother tongue-based instruction from K1-Grade 3. This research analyzed the impact of the language proficiency of the pre-service teachers to their teaching competence. The language proficiency is divided into two categories: linguistic performance and paralinguistic features. The former is the verbal skills in communication while the latter encompasses body language, facial expression, gestures, and voice. Pre-service teachers were observed and assessed during class facilitation. Most have received an ‘Average Proficiency’ rating in linguistic performance although pronunciation rating is the lowest due to phonological features that are influenced by first language. The assessment on voice projection and their pronunciation rating proved to have significant impact to their teaching competency. The coefficients suggest that pronunciation is positively associated to teaching competency while voice factor is negatively associated to teaching competency and good pronunciation increased their teaching competency; however, voice projection negatively affects their teaching competency. Their overall experience in using English as medium of instruction proved to be helpful to them as it helped bridge the gap between them and the students. It is recommended that pre-service teachers may go through an intensive communication enhancement program to prepare themselves before they are exposed to actual practice of teaching.

Published: November 2024

As information and communication technologies (ICT) have rapidly developed, computers and internet are widely used in many fields. The aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in online and blended education receiving a lot of attention due to the significant increase in online course enrollments. In this vein, this paper will give insights on the teachers and students’ perceptions towards using a model of Blended Learning named the Station Rotation Model (SRM) in a Libyan EFL writing classroom. Using a single case method, two teachers and students using the SRM in a school located in Libya were cross-examined using in-depth interview and focus group discussions. The findings revealed that after the implementation of the SRM model in the Libyan school, both students and teachers were satisfied with the learning outcomes. The findings further pointed out that the SRM resulted into positive educational effects. However, some serious concerns were shown by both teachers and students that need to be addressed. These include factors related to student-teacher motivation, timing issues, teachers and students training to use SRM and related technology. The study recommends that continuous professional and technological development is required for increasing the use of SRM as tool of blended learning in Libyan schools.
Socio-Historical Reading of Harold Pinter's The Room from Georg Lukács’ Perspective
Authors: Masoudi Ali , Shabrang Hoda
Published: November 2024

Considered by critics the earliest example of Harold Pinter's "comedy of menace", The Room is Harold Pinter's first play, written and first produced in 1957. Although stylistic features of the play have been studied by many scholars, socio-historical readings of the play have been neglected. In this article, a new approach of reading will be suggested that considers social and historical elements of the play, in addition to the form and stylistic features. Using Georg Lukács’ theories regarding historical drama, this research aims to show how Harold Pinter’s The Room depicts capitalistic reproduction and social threats the working class faces in a world that forces classes to engage in the internal social competition, where one always is doomed in falling out of socio-economical order. Although Lukács bases the definition of the historical novels on Shakespearean’s historical dramas, it will be showcased how Lukacsian concepts like totality, anachronism, and distance forms a socio-ideological product in Pinter’s The Room. The play becomes essentially interesting applying Lukács’ theories regarding aesthetic and social elements of drama. Exploring The Room’s historical significance by highlighting Lukács’ notions such as distance, totality, and character’s social struggles, Pinter portrays a picture of a proletariat collision that results in a fatal resistance, where maintaining individuals revolute against the capitalistic mass-reproduction to become world-historical figures, which as we see at the end of the play, is necessarily obnoxious.

Authors: Sazan Darwalis , Md Yusoff Md Zahril Nizam , Hj. Zaini Muhamad Fadzllah
Published: November 2024

Kajian ini mengkaji visual sosial terpilih di laman sesawang melibatkan visual protes. Dalam mengkaji peranan dan makna visual protes, kebanyakan kajian lebih terarah kepada visual yang lebih tular melibatkan hal kepolitikan, hiburan dan lain-lain di samping subjektiviti kepada khalayak tentang apa yang digambarkan dalam imej protes itu. Bahkan kajian seperti ini jarang diketengahkan lebih-lebih lagi melibatkan visual protes. Penelitian kajian ini memperlihatkan gabungan analisis wacana kritis dan semiotik dalam menghubungkan keseluruhan dimensi wacana dan visual yang terbina. Untuk tujuan ini, kajian mengaplikasikan kaedah penyelidikan kualitatif dan memanfaatkan dua teori utama iaitu, Teori Analisis Wacana Kritis oleh Fairclough (1992; 1995) dan Teori Kress dan Van Leuween (2006). Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa walaupun terdapat perbezaan dalam visual melibatkan protes yang berbeza namun kaum wanita juga dilihat memainkan peranan dalam konteks visual protes ini. Lakuan ini dipengaruhi oleh pendasaran perspektif terhadap permasalahan yang wujud secara khusus. Berdasarkan analisis, kelaziman penolakan isu ini pula dilihat berlaku di persekitaran awam dan latar tempat kediaman. Justeru, dapat dijelaskan bahawa sesebuah wacana yang terbina berupaya mempengaruhi budaya masyarakat tertentu melalui perspektif berbeza yang dilihat sebagai salah satu isu yang besar dan sensitif. Kajian ini penting untuk mengesan ideologi dan kuasa yang tersurat dan tersirat disebalik visual ini dalam sosiobudaya masyarakat tempatan.

Assistance of State Courts to Arbitral Tribunals in Granting Interim Measures and Obtaining Evidence
Authors:   HSE University, Kudinova Mariya V.
Published: November 2024

The author analyses the role of state courts in granting interim measures and obtaining evidence in support of international arbitration proceedings. The author identifies the main issues arising from the overlap of jurisdiction between state courts and arbitral tribunals in these areas and discusses the most effective mechanisms for coordinating their interaction. The author argues that an arbitration agreement is the most effective tool for coordinating the interaction between state courts and arbitral tribunals. This can be achieved by either excluding specific provisions of an applicable arbitration law that grant concurrent powers to both state courts and arbitrators or by establishing procedures that guide parties in exercising their respective procedural rights.
The Problem of Qualification of Sex Crimes Based on the Direction of the Act Towards Satisfying the Sexual Desire of the Guilty Party
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Filatyev Vladislav A.
Published: November 2024

One of the directions of the Russian criminal law policy is to increase the effectiveness of countering crimes related to the molestation, seduction and sexual exploitation of minors. Therefore, it is of scientific interest to find ways to criminalise sexual crimes based on the general principles of criminal responsibility. According to the study, in judicial practice, it is allowed to classify any actions against a person under the age of sixteen as depraved and sexual acts on the basis of their orientation towards satisfying the sexual desire of the perpetrator. The criminalising significance of this feature stems from an analysis of the system of existing norms. The author came to the conclusion that such regulation hinders the possibility of effective realisation of the right to protection from prosecution and leads to cases of conviction for acts that do not pose a public danger. The article argues for the need to disqualify the relevant legal provisions.

Maize commodities in Watu toa Village are still widely managed as raw materials for animal feed and are generally marketed in primary form either in the form of dried corn flakes or sold in the form of fresh corn at low prices. This is due to the limited knowledge of the community in applying technology to develop the potential of maize, resulting in low income for farmers. Maize price Daily transactions Maize is traded at USD490.25 per bushel. In rupiah terms, this is equivalent to IDR 2,992.5 per kg.  Despite the abundant maize harvest in Watutoa village, this has not been able to increase farmers' income. This is because the processing of corn for selling value is still very limited where farmers only sell their corn agricultural products directly at low prices and on the other hand the marketing method is also still limited to the area around Watutoa village. to help solve the existing problems, community service is carried out to apply diversified corn processing technology. The purpose of the implementation of the service activities carried out is to increase the value of processed corn production into selling value by verifying processed corn based on the application of appropriate technology. The implementation methods carried out are socialisation, training, evaluation and mentoring.

Observation of the problem is pointed by the increasing activity of youth religious organizations but the lack of relations and interactions between organizations and young people of different religions in Nanganesa Village. The service was conducted using a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach to examine religious moderation practices in the village. Through questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGD), the team identified strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in fostering religious moderation at the local level. The study results indicate that strong social bonds, environmental support, and the active role of religious leaders are factors that promote tolerance. Nonetheless, the influence of social media and the lack of interfaith activities pose challenges that need to be addressed. The socialization of religious moderation aims to strengthen bonds of tolerance among youth of different faiths and their ability to resist extreme and radical ideologies in religion. This community engagement activity should be continued with follow-up efforts, such as strengthening tolerance education, media and technology literacy for young people through their respective religious organizations and increasing cross-organizational activities that can accommodate young people from various religions to strengthen religious moderation among young people.
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF SMALL-SCALE RICE PROCESSING AMONG WOMEN IN LAFIA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF NASARAWA STATE, NIGERIA
Authors:   Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria, Adekanbi Omolara Adebimpe
Published: November 2024

This research investigates the technical efficiency, challenges, and contributions of women in the small-scale rice processing sector in Lafia Local Government Area (L.G.A.), highlighting their dominance in the rice production value chain. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the study determined a mean technical efficiency of 57%, indicating significant room for improvement, as inefficiencies suggest a potential 43% increase in processed rice output if less efficient processors adopt better strategies and techniques. The analysis identified multiple challenges faced by women in the sector, including epileptic power supply (87%), the adverse impact of foreign rice on local demand (30%), poor pricing of polished rice (27%), high levels of impurities and broken grains (26%), lack of access to credit facilities (17%), and the poor state of infrastructure, particularly outdated or insufficient rice mills (15%). Furthermore, societal constraints related to marriage and childcare, though less significant, were mentioned by a minority. Despite these limitations, women play a central role in the processing sector, with their resilience and entrepreneurial efforts sustaining small-scale rice production. The study underscores the urgent need for targeted policy interventions to address infrastructural deficits, improve access to credit, stabilize local rice pricing, and enhance technical capacity through training and innovation. By resolving these issues, the efficiency and output of women processors can be greatly enhanced, contributing to improved livelihoods and greater food security in the region.

Pengembangan Sistem Pelacakan Air Galon Isi Ulang dengan Pemanfaatan Google Maps API
Authors: Azizah Nur , Maoeretz Engel Mychael
Published: November 2024

Dalam menerima pesanan, penerapan jasa pengantaran di perusahaan air galon isi ulang mengharuskan karyawannya untuk mengunjungi titik lokasi konsumen sebanyak dua kali. Proses pemesanan yang dilakukan masih manual yaitu dengan cara telepon atau pesan singkat. Karyawan juga perlu mengetahui lokasi tujuan pengantaran yang telah diberikan oleh konsumen secara akurat. Aplikasi dengan sistem pemesanan saja masih belum cukup karena jasa pengantaran membutuhkan informasi geografis. Dibutuhkan solusi untuk dapat memudahkan proses pemesanan dan pencarian rute pengantaran produk. Penelitian ini menerapkan Google Maps API sebagai media pendukung untuk mengelola informasi geografis pengguna. Metode pengembangan aplikasi yang digunakan yaitu dengan Waterfall dan menggunakan Model View Controller (MVC) sebagai software design pattern. Sistem aplikasi dikembangkan dengan framework Laravel yang menggunakan Livewire agar bisa memberikan tampilan web yang real-time. Aplikasi yang akan dihasilkan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan MySQL sebagai tempat penyimpanan data. Pengumpulan data penelitian dilakukan dengan cara wawancara sehingga jenis data penelitian ini berupa kualitatif. Jumlah informan yang berhasil didapatkan yaitu berasal dari tiga water refill store dan tiga ibu rumah tangga yang sudah terbiasa dalam memesan jasa antar air galon isi ulang. Sumber informan yang dipakai dalam water refill store yaitu store manager dan karyawan. Hasil temuan dari penelitian ini yaitu adanya aplikasi berbasis web yang dijadikan sebagai media pemesanan produk di water refill store yang juga bisa memudahkan proses pengantaran bagi karyawan di store. Sistem yang dihasilkan bisa membantu proses pemesanan dan pengantaran produk di water refill store. Saran pengembangan berikutnya yaitu menambahkan fitur pembayaran secara daring dan membuat pelacakan lokasi tetap dapat berfungsi pada perangkat dengan mode lock screen.

Antibiotic resistance is the most challenging problem in the 21st century. Therefore, the WHO released a classification of antibiotics into the Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe) group, with the aim of optimizing the use of the access group to at least 60%. The objective of this study was to determine the profile of antibiotic prescriptions at community pharmacies in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, during the period 2019–2022, based on the AWaRe classification. A Cross-sectional survey was designed to collect data on antibiotic prescriptions from community pharmacies across four regions of the Sleman Regency. Each antibiotic was classified in accordance with the AWaRe classification and the quantity of prescribed antibiotics was calculated in DDD units following the ATC/DDD method. This study found that in terms of the antibiotic agents, 10-13 antibiotic from the Access group (52%–62%) were prescribed during the study period. Meanwhile, in terms of quantity expressed in DDD units, 52.38% and 61.90% of prescribed antibiotics were from the Access group, according to the AWaRe classification released by the WHO and the Indonesian Ministry of Health, respectively. In conclusion, antibiotic prescriptions at community pharmacies in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, have reached the target of optimizing the use of access groups according to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, but were still slightly below the target of the WHO.

PT. Rajawali Sumber Rejeki is one of the manufacturing companies that produces cigarettes in Indonesia. The cigarette production process involving large machines has a high potential risk of accidents for employees. This study assesses and proposes improvements to the company's safety culture maturity as a material for evaluating the company's K3 policy so that the number of work accidents in the production process can be minimized. The safety culture maturity assessment involves safety culture variables, namely commitment, leadership, responsibility, competence, engagement & involvement, information & communication, risk, and organizational learning. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 60 employees working in the company. Three expert judgments were also involved as determinants of the weight of the safety culture maturity variable using the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. In addition, fuzzy theory is also used to reduce the subjectivity of the company's safety culture maturity assessment results. Then the improvement proposal is given with a safety model canvassing based on the results of the safety culture maturity assessment. The results of the study showed that the safety culture maturity of PT. Rajawali Sumber Rejeki is 3.5 which is included in the Complaint level. Based on the safety canvassing model that has been created, the priority for improving the safety culture maturity variables from the first to the last is organizational learning, competence, commitment, information & communication, risk, engagement & involvement, responsibility, and finally the leadership variable.
