Assessment of Mpanda groundwater contamination and the effectiveness of the baobab seeds-derived biochar for iron removal from groundwater
Authors:   , Mkelemi Magdalena
Published: November 2024

Groundwater in Mpanda District, Tanzania, faces excessive iron content, causing a reddish brown colouration due to oxidized iron species. The present study evaluated Mpanda groundwater contamination and the effectiveness of baobab seeds-derived biochar for iron removal from groundwater. First, the physicochemical quality of groundwater was investigated. Nineteen boreholes were randomly selected for assessment, with samples collected in rainy and dry seasons. The study revealed significant variations in groundwater quality both between seasons and among boreholes. Temperature, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, lead, iron and manganese exceeding World Health Organization and Tanzania Bureau of Standards limits in some boreholes; necessitating water treatment for human use. Second, the effectiveness of baobab seeds-derived biochar for iron removal from groundwater was assessed. Baobab seeds, were sun-dried, oven dried at 105 ºC, carbonized at 700 ºC, and ground into fine powder. The influence of pH, time, temperature and dose of biochar on the iron removal from groundwater was assessed. Six 1000 mL beakers were filled with groundwater and adsorbent doses of 0.6 g/L, 1.2 g/L, 1.8 g/L, 2.4 g/L, and 3.0 g/L were added into five beakers with the sixth serving as a control. The highest removal efficiency of iron was observed within 5.0-8.0 pH range. Over time, the removal efficiency increased to 87% at 120 minutes and 3.0 g dose, with an initial iron concentration of 5.88 mg/L and residual concentration of 0.76 mg/L. Baobab seeds-derived biochar showed promising efficiency in removing iron ions and is recommended for sustainable iron removal from groundwater.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to analyze total factor productivity and the determinants influencing the productivity of conventional and takaful non-life insurers in Egypt from 2012 to 2021. We used a two-stage Malmquist productivity index to analyze panel data from 17 non-life insurers of both types. The first stage investigated total factor productivity (TFP) utilizing the Malmquist productivity index (MPI) technique of the DEA model. The second stage utilized panel regression analysis to discover the insurer-specific factors influencing productivity. The findings indicate that TFP in the Egyptian non-life insurance sector has progressed by 5% per year from 2012 to 2021. However, the TFP experienced a decrease in 2014 and 2018, with negative growth rates of 3% and 2%, respectively. The decomposition of TFP reveals that technological change (Tch) primarily accounts for overall progress. The change in technical efficiency (EFFch) negatively impacts TFP. Furthermore, on average, takaful insurers showed higher TFP compared to conventional insurers. The findings also showed that the variables of insurer size, reinsurance, insurer age, claims rate, leverage, market share, and operational type significantly influence the growth of total factor productivity for Egyptian non-life insurers. As far as we know, this study is the first empirical evidence for both types of non-life insurers in Egypt regarding estimating TFP and its influencing factors. Consequently, this study will assist policymakers and both conventional and takaful insurers in formulating effective policies aimed at enhancing insurer productivity in Egypt.
Single-Subject Rules and the Nature of State Judicial Power
Authors: Oldfather Chad M.
Published: November 2024

Many state constitutions include “single-subject” rules, which require legislation, ballot initiatives, and/or constitutional amendments to encompass only one subject. These rules are intended to facilitate informed decisionmaking by making it clear to voters what they are voting on, as well as to prohibit practices that leverage one measure’s popularity to assist with the passage of another, such as logrolling and the inclusion of riders. Courts have struggled to enforce these rules, however, due largely to the inherent slipperiness of “subject” as a concept. Commentators have in turn questioned judicial intervention based largely on doubts about whether the rules can be implemented in a principled and consistent manner. This Essay focuses not on the nature of the rules but rather on the nature of the power wielded by the courts that implement them. It contends that objections to judicial enforcement of single-subject rules have implicitly assumed the federal judicial power as the standard against which to assess the practice, when in fact state judicial power—as to which, for one thing, the “countermajoritarian difficulty” often does not exist—may differ in ways that open the door to more aggressive judicial review. That posture may be especially appropriate for issues involving the political process, which is the case with single-subject rules. To be sure, as critics have suggested, aggressive review will often be ideologically inflected. In the context of single-subject challenges, ideology’s influence is likely to be significant primarily in states with a closely divided government, and the fact of the close divide may make aggressive enforcement of single-subject rules less troubling than first meets the eye.
Purcell Principles for State Courts
Authors: Yablon Robert , Clinger Derek
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has stressed that federal courts ordinarily should not issue remedies, such as preliminary injunctions, that would alter the rules for an impending election. This is known as the Purcell principle, and it frequently stymies litigants who seek to redress legal violations ahead of an election. Existing commentary on Purcell, most of it critical, has focused on the federal level. A large and growing share of election litigation, however, occurs in state courts. This Essay surveys pre-election remedial practice and the status of the Purcell principle in state-level litigation. Based on a review of every reported state court decision to have cited Purcell, our key descriptive takeaway is that state courts are not mirroring the U.S. Supreme Court’s strong aversion to pre-election relief. Instead, they have taken a more nuanced and context-specific approach. Conceptually, we explain that there is good reason for state courts to chart their own course in this area— something they are free to do since the Purcell principle is an equitable doctrine by and for federal courts. The federalism concerns that partly undergird the Purcell principle do not apply to state courts, and state courts have distinctive powers and duties that make a blanket presumption against pre-election intervention inappropriate. Prescriptively, building on existing state caselaw and academic commentary, we identify several considerations for state courts to weigh as they decide whether to grant pre-election remedies. These considerations, which we refer to as Purcell principles for state courts, aim to get at each case’s underlying equities and help courts discern whether, on balance, intervention ahead of an election is warranted. This Essay concludes by discussing how the federal Purcell principle impacts pre-election U.S. Supreme Court review of state court remedial rulings, such as when litigants ask the Court for emergency relief on the ground that a state court violated the Federal Constitution’s Elections Clause.

Published: November 2024

A detailed engineering geological study was performed for rock slope stability for several selected sites at Imam Mohammed Road that connects Sulaimaniyah city and Darbandikhan town, the study included four sites in which a comprehensive survey was made for the rock slopes, the rocks forming them, and discontinuities affecting in them. The assessment of rock slope stability of the sites was executed through the stereographic projection, to determine the status of the slopes and discontinuities, field measurements revealed many occurred and probable failure types represented by the rock fall and sliding. The rock slopes were also classified based on three factors; divergence angle (parallel, oblique lateral, and orthogonal), Laterality (right and left emergent), and concordance (concordant and discordant). The rocks forming the slopes are described geometrically based on their color, grain size, texture, discontinuities, weathering, rock strength, lithology, and permeability. On the other hand, the risk of each site was also assessed depending on the Landslide Possibility Index (LPI), which showed that the first site lies within the (moderate hazard) category whereas the others lie within the (High hazard) category. Finally, some treatment strategies were proposed in order to stabilize the slopes and decrease the danger of their collapse on the road.

The Power of Respecting Others: Reconceptualization of Sociocultural Background and Students’ Learning Styles in English Classroom
Authors: Sholihah Lilis , Sinaga Risma Margaretha , Adha Muhammad Mona
Published: November 2024

The students in the class sometimes cannot define the term of cultural background among students, they did not know their learning styles, and method that can lead into effective learning. Through a deep understanding of the concept of multicultural education and a reconceptualization of the classroom as a cultural entity, we can observe how social interactions, identities, and daily life practices within it make valuable contributions to inclusive and meaningful learning. This research tried to focus on the understanding of the learners in their cultural awareness in order to have respect of others who have variety in sociocultural background and their identity. To respect on others, they have to know themselves so that they can appreciate another culture or everyone without considering their races and gender.  The subject of the study was 23 students of English department of university of Lampung who come from different background and ethnicity. The method was descriptive qualitative by giving open ended questionnaire in gathering the data. The data analysis uses coding in order to get meaningful and clear description. The result shows that the students who come from different background in terms of gender, ages and ethnicity, also have variety in their learning styles. The students think that differences in sociocultural background are not big problems for them. There are ways to overcome problems that might be happened in sociocultural differences among students; for example, understand and respect each other, do not harm or make fun of others, it is also influenced by the attitude of the members which more tolerance and open minded. Their opinions on the way to achieve gender equality in the classroom is through active student participation, not discriminating, students have the same duties and obligations, increasing awareness, equal treatment and opportunities, having to think openly, having the same rights to learn.
Boosting Students’ Learning English Experiences in Islamic Higher Education: The Integration of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Efrizal Dedi
Published: November 2024

The objective of this study is to analyze and elucidate the incorporation of AI technology into the English language instruction process in Islamic universities in Indonesia. It also seeks to identify the obstacles and possibilities that emerge from this integration. The study employed a qualitative methodology, including observations, interviews, and documentation studies to gather data from both lecturers and students at Fatmawati Sukarno State Islamic University (UIN), Bengkulu during the academic year 2024-2025. The findings demonstrated that AI has the potential to enhance the efficiency of English language acquisition by means of tailored and interactive learning. AI facilitates the rapid enhancement of students’ proficiency in speaking, writing, listening, and reading by delivering precise and immediate feedback. Nevertheless, the presence of inadequate infrastructure and a lack of digital literacy among teachers and pupils pose significant barriers that must be surmounted. In order to maximize the capabilities of AI, this paper proposes numerous approaches such as providing training to lecturers, revising the curriculum, and fostering collaboration between educational institutions and stakeholders. Incorporating AI into English language education in Islamic universities not only enhances students’ linguistic abilities, but also equips them to confront worldwide technologies-driven issues.
Dynamics of the Russian diaspora in the Baltic republics in 2018—2023
Authors: Sivkov Vadim V. , Gushin Alexey V. , Danchenkov Aleksandr R. , Shalamov Anton J.
Published: November 2024

Based on underwater video footage and diver observations, along with previously obtained lithological data, four types of benthic landscapes have been identified on the section of the underwater coastal slope near Cape Taran. The high mosaic distribution of lithofacies and the varying degrees of macrophyte coverage of the seabed have been confirmed. The boulder-block pavement within the euphotic layer of the sea was maximally covered by macrophytes, with Polysiphonia nigrescens as the dominant species. The lower boundary of macrophyte distribution was recorded at a depth of 19 meters, which is significantly deeper than previously believed. Macrophytes can be recommended for use in regional environmental monitoring. The presence of an ecologically significant aggregation of macrophytes near Cape Taran, the largest in the Russian sector of the southeastern Baltic, combined with the high lithofacial diversity of the seafloor, provides strong justification for establishing a marine protected area in this region.

Authors: Popova Elena A. , Pungin Artem V. , Pantyukhina Anastasia P.
Published: November 2024

Currently, callus cultures of medicinal plants are actively used for the production of important biologically active compounds. Investigating conditions that enhance the biosynthesis of these compounds in callus cultures is highly relevant. This article examines the influence of various concentrations of phenylalanine and tyrosine (1—500 µM) on the content of phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity of three callus cultures of Hyssopus officinalis L. It was found that the addition of phenylalanine at a concentration of 10 µM and tyrosine at a concentration of 100 µM to the nutrient media leads to an increase in the content of phenolic compounds and hydroxycinnamic acids in the callus cultures. An increase in the antioxidant activity of the extracts from the studied callus cultures was recorded at phenylalanine concentrations of 10 and 100 µM, as well as tyrosine concentrations of 1, 10, and 100 µM in the nutrient media.
