Genre Awareness in Teaching Writing: A Case Study of Public High School Teachers in Nepal
Authors: Bhusal Durga , Shrestha Kalpana
Published: January 2024

Recent research trends on Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language (EFL/ESL) have shown that conscious knowledge of the genre-based approach significantly enhances genre awareness in teaching writing in EFL/ESL contexts. This research examines how English language teachers in Nepal strengthen their understanding of genre awareness by integrating genre-based writing activities such as story writing, job application writing, journal writing, email writing, and essay writing within a high school teaching context. Based on the data generated from semi-structured interviews with four teachers and analysis of students’ written artifacts, the study indicates that teachers’ awareness of genre plays a prominent role in enhancing their self-reflection and academic writing skills. This awareness is shown to positively impact their understanding of pedagogical content knowledge and genre-specific writing conventions. However, the findings also demonstrate that the teacher participants possess unconscious familiarity with the genre, especially in terms of writing instruction and analyzing the genre-specific content in classroom teaching, since they appeared to lack awareness of the complex nature of the interactions between their belief systems, real-world classroom practices, and current educational and sociocultural needs. The study suggests that teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge of genres, reflective practices based on the learning achievements of learners, and ongoing genre-based teacher training, including workshops and seminars, should be organized to enhance their conscious awareness and understanding of the intricate nature of genre-based writing instruction.

Authors: Lariman Lariman , Nabilah Intan , Patang Fatmawati
Published: January 2024

Feed is an important element in supporting the growth and survival of fish. Availability and quality of feed is a factor that determines the success of cultivation. So far, some fish farmers still rely on feed directly from nature, such as small fish and leaves. The price of commercial feed is currently very expensive, so the costs incurred for feed are felt by fish farmers. To reduce feed prices, looking for alternative protein sources that are cheaper and easier to obtain is necessary. Therefore, it must provide other alternatives such as natural feed whose availability does not depend on the season, for example Maggot or black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) which are alternative feeds because they meet the requirements as a source of protein. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparative effect of feeding maggot (Hermetia illucens) and commercial feed on the growth rate of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) seeds, as well as to find out the best feeding on the growth rate and survival of common carp seeds. This study used a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The frequency of feeding is 2 times a day at 08.00 and 16.00 morning and evening as much as 5% of fish biomass. Weight, length, survival rate and water quality measurements were carried out every 7 days. The results of the study showed that the highest growth in length and weight was found in the P3 treatment with a combination of 25% commercial feed and 75% maggot, namely 9.33 cm and 10.23 grams, and a survival value of 90% -100%.

Published: January 2024

The focus of this research is to investigate magnetohydrodynamic flow, entropy generation, heat and mass transfer analysis for fourth grade nanofluid over a vertical plate in a porous medium subject to slip and convective boundary conditions. Lie group invariant similarity variable is used to transform the partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the problem to system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting dimensionless ODEs are solved using Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). HPM results are validated with the numerical solutions via shooting method alongside the six order Runge-Kutta integration technique. The results revealed effects of new embedded governing flow parameters on velocity, temperature, entropy generation and concentration profiles.Furthermore, the impact of new embedded flow parameters on skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number at the plate surface are investigated and the results are shown in tabular forms. The results indicate that suction on the plate can be used to control momentum, thermal and solutal boundary layer thickness. This research discovered that magnetic parameter, Eckert number, Biotsolutal number and Hartmann number can be respectively used to adjust fluid flow’s velocity, temperature, concentration and entropy generation. This research also detected that the force driving the fourth grade nanofluid flow called buoyancy driven force can be accelerated or decelerated by adjusting angle of magnetic field inclination. The present investigation has applications in industries and engineering, such as petroleum industries, chemical industries and metallurgy sciences

Effect of Surface Area on Electrodeposition Rate, Composition and Microhardness of Co-W Coatings Deposited From a Citrate Bath
Authors: Gotelyak Alex , Dikusar Aleksandr
Published: January 2024

Using the example of electrodeposition of Co-W coatings from a citrate bath, it has been experimentally proved that with a large-scale transfer of the results of studying the process rate, composition and properties (microhardness) of coatings under galvanostatic conditions, it is necessary to change the volume of the bath in proportion to the change in surface area. In this case, the current load on the electrolyte is preserved, which is quantitatively determined by the value of the volume current density.

The influence of temperature on the properties of nanocrystalline Co-W coatings obtained from a citrate electrolyte at pH 6.7 and deposited under natural convection conditions was studied. The influence of the electrolyte temperature on the morphology, composition, structure and roughness of coatings, as well as their corrosion and tribological properties, is demonstrated. It is shown that the structure of the coating can change from the X-ray amorphous to the crystalline one when the deposition temperature of the coating is increased to 90 ºС. The average value of the mass wear of Cо-W coatings formed at 80 ºС and measured under the linear friction condition of 0.08 mg, and 62 times lower than that of a Cr coating (4.95 mg) and 84 times lower that at the surface of steel SK-5 (6.71 mg). When testing by the reciprocating wear method, the value of the volumetric wear of Co-W coatings obtained in the temperature range 50–70 ºС was 0.00109 mm3, which is 55 times lower than the wear value of a Cr coating (0.0596 mm3) and 41 times lower than that of the steel SK-5 surface (0.0449 mm3). The paper also shows a slight decrease in the currents of corrosion coatings and a decrease in the dispersion values of the corrosion potentials obtained after mechanical polishing of the surface of the coatings at temperatures in the range of 20–90 ºС. It is shown that under the corrosive effect of 3.5% sodium chloride, an increase in the deposition temperature of the coating is accompanied by a slight in-crease in the corrosion current.

The deposition of protective coatings can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and tribotechnical behavior of the surface of metal parts. Surface preparation before a coating deposition increases the cost per unit area of coating. Substrates were prepared from steel St3 with the sur-face roughness Ra from 0.01 to 0.597 µm, as well as with a rust layer, and the electrospark deposition (ESD) of a Cr-Fe-Cu coating was carried out. The conducted studies lead to the conclusion that the initial surface roughness of St3 steel in the Ra range from 0.01 to 0.597 µm does not affect the material deposition nature during ESD and the structure of the deposited coatings. This is unambiguously confirmed by the data on oxidation resistance and tribological behavior of coatings. With this in mind, it can be concluded that the method of ESD with a non-localized electrode with the addition of chromium powder provides high reproducibility of the deposited coatings. ESD can clean the rust layer to some extent, but it is not possible to completely get rid of it, and large pores are present in the formed coating. This was reflected in a significant decrease in the oxidation resistance and the wear resistance of the coatings.

This paper describes the study of corona electrets made of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) laminate film with an aluminum oxide nanolayer with a protective coating based on acrylic copolymers. Those films showed rather high and stable electret properties. At this, dipole polarization prevailed at the acrylic layer due to the orientation of oxygen-containing groups of atoms and macromolecular segments under the corona discharge, while injected charge carriers were located predominantly in polyethylene terephthalate layer at interfaces of both PET-aluminum oxide and amorphous-crystalline regions of the polymer.
Silicone Rubber Treatment with a Sodium Chloride Solution in the Presence of an Electric Field

High voltage silicone insulators that are placed close to coastal marine areas have the problem of salt fog depositing on their surfaces in the form of conductive droplets. Under the influence of an electric field, those droplets initiate partial discharges, which lead to the degradation of the hydrophobic properties of silicone rubber. This phenomenon, in which droplets serve as the cause of partial discharges, has been studied in considerable detail elsewhere. However, it remains unclear whether the droplets themselves, as moisture-laden areas, affect the properties of silicone rubber. The current work is focused on studying the combined effect of an AC electric field (E = 17 kV/cm) and a 4% solution of sodium chloride on the water-repellent properties of silicone rubber in the absence of electrical discharges. The results of the study show that the influence of moisture and an electric field leads to a slowing down of the droplet runoff from the inclined sample of Powersil 310 rubber. An AC electric field did not have a noticeable effect on the rate of water runoff; the slowdown was due to the pre-treatment of the sample with the solution.
A critical case commentary on Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership and North Bristol NHS Trust v WA and DT: Did the judge reach a fair and just decision regarding the capacity and best interest of the person?

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership and North Bristol NHS Trust v WA and DT [2020] EWCOP, [2020] 7 WLUK 271: This case critically evaluates the findings on WA’s capacity assessment and best interest decision made by the courts to determine the treatment plan. From the finding’s on WA’s capacity, it is apparent that the way capacity testing was dealt with was not in accordance with the MCA guiding principles, but rather based on a subjective view of the assessors. Consequently, WA was held to be incapacitated requiring the courts to look at the best interest provisions under section 4 of the MCA in discussing the proposed treatment options. The positive aspect to this case was that Hayden J gave greater weight to WA’s wishes and feelings, and affirmed his autonomy.

A simple, accurate and precise method was proposed for the determination of losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide. The overlain spectra of losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide were found to have an isoabsorptive point at 266.9nm, while the spectrum of later is extended with an absorption maximum at 325 nm; where the former is not interfering, based on these spectral characteristics, simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of the two analytes in combined dosage was possible using absorbance subtraction method. The method showed good precision in term of repeatability and intermediate precision with relative standard deviations were less than 2% in both cases. The method’s accuracy was confirmed by the close agreement between the theoretical and actual concentrations of the analytes in nine laboratory prepared synthetic mixtures. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of a commercial product, the assay results were 102.60% and 99.88%with %RSD 1.68 and 1.68for LSP and HCT, respectively.

Methodology: There are several methods for analyzing the same, however, they are time-consuming and costly. We created a new spectrophotometric method for determining Dolutegravir (DLT) in tablet dosage forms that is simple, accurate, and precise. In methanol, the initial stock solution of Dolutegravir was prepared. The method is based on the formation of a blue color chromogen complex from Dolutegravir oxidation-reduction with Ferric chloride in the presence of potassium ferricyanide. Result: The color complex was measured at 710nm. Beers law was observedin the concentration range of 3.5-6.5μg/ml witha coefficient of correlation (R2) was 0.998. The system suitability criteria were found to be within the limits. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.91 and 2.47, indicating that the method is sensitive. Conclusion: The relative standard deviation (RSD) and percent recovery values were found to be satisfactory, indicating that the proposed method is suitable, accurate, and precise and that it can be used in routine analysis of Dolutegravir in tablet dosage forms, with relatively low-cost solvents.
