This present study examines the efficacy of using dolomite (Dol, CaMg(CO3)2)-supported copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) bimetallic and monometallic catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propylene glycol (PG; 1,2-PDO). The proposed catalysts were generated using the impregnation process before they were calcined at 500°C and reduced at 600°C. Advanced analytical techniques namely Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) method; the Barrett, Joyner, and Halenda (BJH) method; temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3–TPD), hydrogen-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were then used to characterise the synthesised catalysts, whose performance was then tested in the hydrogenolysis of glycerol. Of all the synthesised catalysts tested in the hydrogenolysis process, the Co-Cu/Dol bimetallic catalyst performed best, with an 80.3% glycerol conversion and 85.9% PG selectivity at a pressure of 4 MPa, a temperature of 200°C, and a reaction time of 10 hours. Its high catalytic performance was attributed to effective interactions between its Co-Cu-Dol species, which resulted in acceptable acidity, good reducibility of metal oxide species at low temperatures, larger surface area (15.3 m2 g-1), large-sized particles, fewer pores (0.032 cm3 g-1), and smaller pore diameter (0.615 nm).

Published: March 2024

Because of its versatility and ability to work with difficult materials, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has become an essential tool in many different industries. It can produce precise shapes and intricate details. EDM has transformed fabrication processes in a variety of industries, including aerospace and electronics, medical implants and surgical instruments, and the shaping of small components. Its capacity to machine undercuts and deep cavities with little material removal makes it ideal for producing complex geometries that would be challenging or impossible to accomplish with conventional machining techniques. Several attempts have been carried out to solve the optimization problem involved in the EDM process. This paper emphasizes optimizing the EDM process using three metaheuristic algorithms: Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The study's outcome showed that the GWO algorithm outperformed the GSO and WOA algorithms in solving the EDM optimization problem and achieved the minimum surface roughness value of 1.7593µm.

Published: March 2024

Several challenges arise during the development of e-government systems, including interoperability issues, integration complexities, and the absence of standardized practices which stands for enterprise architecture, has emerged as a potentially useful way to address these problems. Nevertheless, it is of the utmost importance to choose the appropriate Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF), as this framework determines the conceptual structure and methodology for the creation of EA. There are many EAFs, each with a unique content and audience that they are aimed at. In this research, an evaluation of four EAFs that are prevalent in use is carried out. We provide criteria for evaluating these frameworks from two different points of view: the first consideration is focused on non-functional needs that are crucial for the success of e-government systems and how EAFs satisfy these requirements, and the second consideration is centered on concerns that are relevant to international development. At the end of this discussion, we offer some observations and recommendations for further research in this field

Authors: Wijaya Edward , Komarasari Eka , Esti Prima Kartika
Published: March 2024

Background: Leprosy has been known as the greatest imitator disease that can mimic a disease condition, including autoimmune disease. This case report aims to demonstrate and remind healthcare providers that leprosy infection may manifest with various autoimmune phenomena reminiscent of classic autoimmune disease, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to prevent delayed treatment and further complications.
Case report: A 28-year-old female patient with ulcers all over her body and amputation of her fingers and toes. Based on the positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) test results, weak positive ANA profile band, anticardiolipin antibodies immunoglobulin M (ACA IgM), and complement C4 test, the patient has been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) since eleven years ago. There was no improvement during SLE therapy as the years passed. The patient developed leprosy symptoms such as madarosis, saddle nose, and facies leonine. Slit skin smear for leprosy acid-fast bacilli (AFB) from forehead and chin showed bacterial index +6, skin biopsy examination concluded lepromatous leprosy with bacterial index +5, and IgM anti-PGL-1 serological test examination 3185 u/ml. She was treated with steroids at the hospital and multidrug therapy for multibacillary leprosy (MDT MB) for one year. She had significant improvement after receiving medication.
Conclusion: The diagnosis of leprosy is delayed because of the clinical similarities between the disease and SLE. The clinicians should know leprosy-specific symptoms to avoid inaccurate diagnoses and treatment delays.

Authors: Ibrahim Sa’ad
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to examine the impact of the duration of semester examinations on academic performance among students in four colleges of education in North Central Nigeria. A stratified sampling technique was applied to select 200 participants from the four Colleges of Education in the North-Central Zone of Nigeria (FCT COE Zuba, FCE Okene, COE Minna, and COE Akwanga). The four colleges of education were stratified based on location, and a proportional number of students were randomly selected from each stratum. The research employed a combination of focus group interview, questionnaires and examination scores to collect relevant data. Subsequently, the academic performance data of students from the short-duration calendar were compared to their performance data from the standard-duration calendar. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the characteristics of the sample, such as mean, standard deviation, and frequency distribution. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to compare the mean academic performance scores across different durations of semester examinations. The outcome of the study revealed that the current 4-week duration of semester examinations is the ideal duration, while a shorter duration was rejected. Moreover, the flexibility in duration based on subject complexity was also favored. The result further indicates that the duration of semester examinations does have a significant impact on academic performance. Therefore, educational institutions are advised to adopt a flexible approach to the duration of examinations, particularly for subjects with varied complexities and volumes, to promote better academic outcomes. The findings emphasize the need for educational institutions to adhere to a four-week duration of examinations to promote better academic outcomes.

The Development of a Model Validation Tool to Assist in the Conduct of Economic Evaluations
Authors: Coyle Doug , Haines Alex , Lee Karen
Published: March 2024

Model validation is critical to ensure that the results from an economic model address the needs of the decision-maker, measure what it intends to measure, and are valid. There is a need for a comprehensive and accessible tool to support both the conceptual and technical validation of models. Tools to assist in this important aspect are currently lacking.

Through a targeted literature search, and in consultation with other health economists, CADTH developed a tool that will assist researchers and decision-makers to ensure economic models are fit for purpose and function properly.

This model validation tool was considered robust and practical to implement through internal testing and in consultation with health economists external to CADTH.

This tool summarizes the approach taken by CADTH in model validation. Although this is not a requirement for submissions to CADTH, the tool will help ensure a more consistent and reproducible approach to model validation for economic evaluations of all health technologies.
