Arbitration and Wrongful Termination Claims: An Evaluation of Fairness and Efficiency in Labour Dispute Resolution
Authors: E. C. Ibekwe,
Published: November 2024

This paper shall review the position of arbitration in wrongful termination claims, especially regarding its effectiveness as a system of labour relation dispute resolution. Employment disputes specifically wrongful dismissal lawsuits stem from contractual breaches and violations of labour laws which may take time and cost a lot of money. Arbitration is seen as a suitable process for resolving disputes more effectively because it is faster, slightly cheaper, and does not attract public attention. As is to be expected there are some problems, some minor issues to be addressed. As for the problems the main issue regards the nature of arbitration and the fact that a major principle against it is the imbalance of power between employers and workers. Used in the study is both a synthesis of the current literature and qualitative interviews conducted with stakeholders, namely, arbitrators, legal commentators and employees. The implication herein is that while arbitration is effectiveness-oriented, it lacks procedural equity which is overshadowed by employer-biased scales. Based on the findings of this paper, this paper asserts that while using arbitration as a means of minimizing the time and money spent on wrongful termination claims, changes should be made in an effort to tackle the issues of partiality and bias.

Los ecosistemas biodiversos tienen un papel esencial para la salud ambiental del planeta por generar los procesos necesarios para nuestra sobrevivencia. El presente artículo se centra en la importancia que poseen, además, como fuente de recursos para las comunidades que dependen de ellos directamente, y la relevancia que el diseño adquiere cuando coparticipa guiando procesos de innovación a escala local para contribuir a preservar la biodiversidad y mantener el equilibrio socio-ambiental de nuestro planeta. El artículo da cuenta de la investigación empírica realizada con la participación de quince comunidades que efectúan actividades de apropiación-aprovechamiento forestal maderable y no maderable en México. El estudio permitió identificar los elementos perceptuales y simbólicos de la innovación bajo los cuales el fenómeno de la innovación a escala local se manifiesta y puede potenciarse mediante la coparticipación del diseño. Se evidencia que, acompañando a las comunidades para mejorar las condiciones en las que aprovechan, transforman y comercializan sus recursos forestales no maderables, estas pueden lograr la sustentabilidad de la vida y contribuir a la lucha contra el cambio climático y la protección del medio ambiente.
More-than-Human Net Zero Futures
Authors: Stead Michael
Published: November 2024

From industry through policymaking to academia, much prevailing sustainability discourse focusses on transitioning to a so-called ‘Net Zero future’. Central to this vision is mitigation of human-driven climate change through the decarbonisation of industrial society, principally via increased innovation and adoption of emergent technologies. This paper argues Design Research must pivot from these reductive, solutionist narratives, and develop a disruptive yet inclusive approach towards designing for Net Zero. In response to the complexity of climate change, this paper proposes a novel conceptual frame that helps designer-practitioners to challenge the unsustainable technocentric status quo. Built upon a confluence of Speculative, Participatory and More-than-Human-Centred methods, the paper outlines how this approach can stimulate close collaboration between designers and stakeholder networks. The paper asserts that, through this scaffold, designer-practitioners can reimagine responsible technological Net Zero futures which are inherently More-than-Human, that is, sustainable and equitable for our planet’s human and non-human stakeholders alike.
Struggling for Design for the Pluriverse in the Global North
Authors: Jakobsen Oskar , Felipe Valderrama Pineda Andrés
Published: November 2024

This article explores the difficulties of conducting pluriversal design in the Global North. The point of departure is Arturo Escobar’s discussion on design for the pluriverse, which is a critique of modernity and unsustainability. The analysis centers on a project to develop a game to uncover the unsustainability integral to modern commerce, in the form of value chains of products produced in the Global South and consumed in the Global North. The researchers follow and document their experience with the development of the game aimed at sensitizing school students in the Global North to the injustices, resource overuse, and violence integral to value chains. The analysis describes how the intention to apply pluriversal design principles risks being betrayed by the same designers committed to them, because of their embeddedness in modernity. The authors propose two concrete strategies: first, recognizing that activating pluriversal principles will create discomfort in the designers and the design process; second, developing a vision to activate pluriversal principles.
Addressing E-Waste
Authors: Castle-Green Teresa , Sailaja Neelima
Published: November 2024

Electronic waste, commonly referred to as e-waste, is a health and environmental hazard that affects many people and ecosystems around the world. As the volume of e-waste continues to surge, it is imperative this issue is addressed. Contributing to this situation is the Internet of Things (IoT); an expanding industry deploying countless smart devices globally. Prolonging the lifespan of already-deployed devices through acts of repair can help to reduce the impact of IoT on climate change. A sustainable design and innovation approach to addressing this growing problem is to challenge conventional design practices focused on consumption by prioritising community repairability in design. This paper uses an ethnographic and interview approach to explore the challenges of repairing smart devices within community repair contexts. We discuss the impact of fail-fast approaches and the assumptions that repairers hold about the repairability of smart devices. Our findings demonstrate how repair café processes cause smart devices to be filtered out, thereby identifying barriers that designers and repair café organisers must navigate to successfully incorporate the repair of smart products into these settings.

Published: November 2024

Rice is a staple food for most Indonesians. The growing population, which has already reached 278 million, is expected to lead to increased rice consumption. Therefore, it is important to have a system that can forecast rice production. Time series data can be used to forecast rice production. Two common time series forecasting methods are linear regression and polynomial regression. Linear regression is used for data that is linear, while polynomial regression is used for data that is non-linear. In this study, we evaluated the performance of linear regression and polynomial regression for rice production forecasting in West Nusa Tenggara Province from 2001 to 2022. The results showed that the polynomial regression model with 4-degree gave better results than the linear regression model. The RMSE and MAE for the polynomial regression model were 0.48 and 2.34, respectively, while those for the linear regression model were 0.97 and 0.87, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the polynomial regression model with 4-degree is a better choice for rice production forecasting in West Nusa Tenggara Province

Dalam perencanaan pemasangan jaringan wireless, penting untuk mempertimbangkan pengaruh hujan untuk mencapai kualitas jaringan yang optimal. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan perhitungan dan analisis pengaruh hujan terhadap perencanaan pemasangan jaringan wireless. Lokasi perhitungan dilakukan di wilayah tangerang. Data curah hujan berdasarkan badan meteorologi, klimatologi, dan geofisika (BMKG) data berupa curah hujan harian. Simulasi perencanaan pemasangan jaringan wireless menggunakan UISP (Ubiquiti Internet Service Provider). Dari hasil analisis kondisi yang dilakukan pada proses simulasi kondisi pada client dengan objek penelitian yang didapat di tangerang. Dapat dilihat hampir semua client yang terhubung pada access point 1 mendekati nilai expected signal dapat di kategorikan sangat bagus. Hanya client 3 nilai rata-rata perhitungan  memiliki perbedaan paling tinggi jika dilihat angka atenuasinya mencapai 1,79×10−3 dBm yang menyebabkan nilai rata-rata hasil perhitungan hubungan antara curah hujan terhadap kuat sinyal memiliki perbedaan paling jauh sebesar -0,75 dBm jika di bandingkan  dengan nilai expected signal . sedangkan pada access point 2 hanya client 7 yang mendapatkan nilai rata-rata pengukuran dan perhitungan paling rendah di bandingkan client 6 dan 8 jika di lihat kembali dapat diketahui bahwa client 7 memiliki atenuasi yang sama dengan client 8 yaitu 1,38×10−3 dBm tetapi kualitas sinyal client 7 lebih rendah di bandingkan client 8, ini desababkan karena kondisi zona fresnel pada client 7 menyentuh penghalang pada jarak 0,5 meter sehingga mempengaruhi kualitas pancaran sinyal antara client ke access point pada koneksi jaringan wireless, ini menyebabkan perbedaan nilai kuat signal antara client 7 dan 8. Perbedaan nilai rata-rata hasil perhitungan sebesar -10,7514 dBm jika di bandingkan  dengan nilai expected signal (-67 dBm). Dapat dilihat bahwa curah hujan sangat berpengaruh terhadap kuat sinyal dan kualitas jaringan, pada antena yang basah karena hujan yang menyebabkan atenuasi antena menjadi tinggi.

THE INFLUENCE OF ELECTRON BEAM IRRADIATION ON THE TRIBOLOGICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (PTFE) FOR ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
Authors: Ormanbekov K. , Zhassulan A. , Satbayeva Z. , Andybayeva G. , Zhanaba T.
Published: November 2024

The study demonstrates the significant effects of electron beam irradiation on the tribological and mechanical properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Electron beam irradiation, a method using highvelocity electrons to modify material properties, was applied to PTFE to potentially enhance its wear resistance and mechanical hardness, which are critical for applications under increased wear conditions. In the experiments, PTFE samples were irradiated at varying doses, and their wear resistance, microhardness, and surface roughness were evaluated post-irradiation. Tribological test results showed a notable improvement in wear resistance and microhardness with increasing radiation doses. Specifically, irradiated samples exhibited reduced wear volume and enhanced surface characteristics compared to the unirradiated sample. The irradiated sample (PTFE-2) showed the highest resistance to abrasive wear and a significant increase in surface hardness, indicating that electron beam irradiation effectively strengthens the material by inducing cross-linking and other structural modifications within the polymer matrix. Additionally, the study highlighted changes in surface roughness: irradiated samples exhibited altered roughness parameters that contributed to improved wear resistance. These changes can be explained by the physical and chemical transformations induced by electron beam exposure, which modify the surface and subsurface regions of the polymer. This study confirms that electron beam irradiation is an effective method for enhancing the mechanical and tribological properties of PTFE, making it more suitable for advanced engineering applications where high durability and resistance to extreme conditions are required. The findings open new avenues for the use of PTFE in sectors requiring high performance, extending its application beyond traditional fields.

Ganoderma Lucidum or Reishi mushroom is known on east during centuries and has been used in different aims. Modern researches of Reishi mushroom show its high antioxidative potential. Our experiments have shown that extracts made from micelium and fruiting body of ganoderma reduce the intensity of lipoperoxidation in membranes and increase the resistance in vitro conditions.

Micelium extract inhibited the level of products of lipoperoxidation up to 37,6% at concentration 10 mkg, 21,1% at 20 mkg, 14,9% at 50 mkg. At influence the same concentrations of ascorbic acid means of level of lipid peroxidation amount 74,3%, 60,4% and 36,4% - respectively, for vitamin E - Е-70,2%, 65,3%, 53,5% and 38%respectively. Antioxidative effect of fruit body’s extract significantly have shown at 10-50 mkg – level of LPO decreased on 80% from origin level, the increasing of concentration from 50 to 100 mkg leaded to practically total inhibition of formation LPO products. At concentrations lower than 10 mkg antioxidative effect of the testing agents didn’t differ significantly. The experiments revealed that the mycelium extracts' antioxidant properties exceed the well-known antioxidant agents such as vitamins E and C, while the extract of the fruit body has a substantially similar effect of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol

Results of study have shown that extracts of ganoderma possess pronounced property to stabilize the structure of cell membrane. Severity of membrane stabilizing effect of extracts depended on concentration.

The article presents the results of a study of the mineral composition and organoleptic evaluation of semi-smoked sausage from vegetable raw materials. Soy and chickpeas were selected as vegetable raw materials. As a result of experiments, it was revealed that the optimal ratio of soy and chickpeas for the production of semi-smoked sausage is 4:1. According to the results of an organoleptic evaluation of semismoked sausage from vegetable raw materials, it was found that the third sample, the ratio of soy isolate and chickpeas of which is 4:1, had a consistency, smell and taste more characteristic of semi-smoked sausage than the rest of the samples being developed.

Based on studies of the mineral composition of semi-smoked sausage from vegetable raw materials, it is proved that there are more minerals in the first and second samples than in the third sample. Since soy isolate increases 3-5 times during cooking due to binding to water, soy texturate and chickpea sausage contains more macro- and microelements than soy isolate and chickpea sausage. However, the third sample contains 1.58% and 0.98% more phosphorus compared to samples № 1 and № 2, respectively.

Research has proven that the use of soy and chickpeas as the main ingredients, completely replacing meat in semi-smoked sausage, is possible and relevant.

Published: November 2024

The «sessile drop» method for determining the surface energy of solids – γ is considered. For graphite and graphene, this method yielded average values of γ2 = 53.6 ± 2.1 and γ1 = 44.8 ± 14.7 mJ/m2. Using the crystal cleavage method for graphite, the average value of γ2 = 3250 mJ/m2 was obtained, which is 60 times higher than the value of γ2 obtained by the "sessile drop" method. Analysis of both methods showed that the "sessile drop" method for determining the surface energy of solids cannot be used without modification. We propose new methods for determining the surface energy of solids: 1) through the melting point of a solid; 2) through the size dependence of a physical property on the thickness of the deposited coating; 3) through the measured value of the contact potential difference. The following values were obtained for graphene: γ1 = 947.1; γ1 = 974; γ1 = 960 mJ/m2, which is an order of magnitude higher than in the sessile drop method. The values of γ1 must be multiplied by 3 and we obtain the values for graphite – γ2 = 2841; γ2 = 2922, γ2 = 2880 mJ/m2, which differs slightly from the crystal splitting method.

Published: November 2024

Recycling reclaimed asphalt pavement fulfills an important function in achieving a sustainable and environmentally friendly road construction industry. Using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) it is possible to produce new asphalt with a small amount of virgin raw materials. This will reduce the amount of energy required to extract and process virgin asphalt pavement materials, along with the amount of waste generated during road reconstruction. Despite these advantages, road agencies have been reluctant to use high proportions of RAP materials in new asphalt production because the presence of large amounts of oxidized bitumen from RAP in new mixtures makes them less workable and less compactable than mixtures with virgin bitumen alone. One should also be aware of the high stiffness of RAP mixtures, which will make them difficult to use. Various methods can be used to overcome this problem, one of the most effective is the addition of rejuvenating agents. This article describes research into the production of asphalt mixtures from recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) material. This work aims to study the effectiveness of various rejuvenators for restoring the basic performance characteristics of asphalt pavements. The most effective rejuvenators and their classification are reviewed. The hypothesized mechanism of rejuvenation of asphalt pavements by the introduction of rejuvenators is presented. The methods of introducing various rejuvenators into RAP are described.

Authors: FÎȚĂ Nicolae Daniel , OBRETENOVA Mila Ilieva
Published: November 2024

In the last three decades, Romania has evolved greatly through the individual and joint action of its citizens and has achieved national objectives essential for internal stability and development and strengthening its external position: integration in NATO and the European Union. The extended national security policy is built on fundamental values and benchmarks, being the expression of the common national consensus and effort. In addition to these goals, Romanians have affirmed, on numerous occasions, their attachment to defending the rule of law and democracy, the independence of the judiciary, the fight against corruption, their attachment to involvement in the public space, an indication of the development of a participatory political culture. As a state that continues to reform and aims at stability and modernization, the progress of the citizens of Romania must be the foundation of the actions of the institutions of the rule of law.

A LESSON IN MILITARY DOCTRINAL AND OPERATIONAL FAILURES: THE BATTLE OF HOSTOMEL AND THE RUSSIAN MILITARY’S FAILURE TO CAPTURE KYIV.
Authors: STEWARD Oliver B.
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This paper will examine the underlying doctrinal and operational factors that led to the failure of the Russian military to capture Kyiv, and its subsequent military implications that led to its (re)assessment of military strategy. Firstly, this paper will examine the historical lead-up to the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian War, detailing the relative political and strategic factors that impacted upon President Putin’s decision to launch the ‘Special Military Operation’. Secondly, this paper will go into detail into the relative military and tactical landscape of Russia’s attempt to capture Kyiv, in particular, its failure to seize Hostomel airport, thereby leading to strategic failure. Thirdly, this paper will contend that the failure to capture Hostomel was based in part on operational factors but also upon the inability of Russian military planners to fully predict the Ukrainian resolve, as well as the limitations found in its doctrinal approach to warfare.
DESIGN, SYNTHESIS AND IN VITRO ANTITUBERCULAR SCREENING OF NOVEL TRISUBSTITUTED -3A, 4-DIHYDRO [1, 2, 3] TRIAZOLO [1, 5-A] QUINAZOLIN-5(3H)-ONE DERIVATIVES
Authors: Appani Ramgopal , Sumakanth M.
Published: November 2024

Unique trisubstituted-3a, 4-dihydro [1, 2, 3] compounds dichloromethyl [1, 5-a] quinazolin-5(3H)-one derivatives were synthesised and analysed using 1HNMR, C13NMR, and MASS for all of the compound titles. We used the Microplate Alamar Blue Assay to examine the compounds' invitro antitubercular activity. We used rifampicin, isoniazid, and ethambutol as reference standards to estimate the MIC values of the most effective inhibitors for MTB, H37Rv, and H37Ra cultures. When compared to the reference standards, S04 and S09, out of all the synthesised compounds, demonstrate excellent invitro anti tubercular activity. So, S04 and S09 can be the starting point for future studies.
Social and Economic Importance of Modern Education System: General Overview
Authors: Bohra Alka , Bohra Jai Babber
Published: November 2024

Since changes take place in the society and country with time, the objectives of education also change with time. For example, in the Vedic period, the teaching of Veda mantras was considered sufficient. But in the present times, emphasis is given on vocational education for human development. At present, without computer education, a person is considered almost uneducated, because the use of computers has increased in daily life. At this time, there is a need to reform the modern education system to increase productivity through education, achieve social and national integration, modernize India and develop moral, social and spiritual values. There is an abundance of traditional and theoretical curriculum in the present education system. In its place, modern and practical curriculum should be given proper place, and there is also a need to make it more employment oriented.
Abstract in Hindi Language: 
चूँकि समाज एवं देश में समय के अनुसार परिवर्तन होते रहते हैं इसलिए शिक्षा के उद्देश्यों पर भी समय के अनुसार परिवर्तन होते हैं। उदाहरण के लिए वैदिक काल में वेदमंत्रों की शिक्षा को ही पर्याप्त मान लिया जाता था। किन्तु वर्तमान काल में मनुष्य के विकास के लिए व्यावसायिक शिक्षा पर जोर दिया जाता है। वर्तमान समय में कंप्यूटर की शिक्षा के बिना मनुष्य को लगभग ही अशिक्षित माना जाता हैं, क्योंकि दैनिक जीवन में अब कंप्यूटर का प्रयोग बढ़ा हैं। इस समय शिक्षा द्वारा उत्पादकता बढ़ाने सामाजिक एवं राष्ट्रीय एकीकरण करने, भारत का आधुनिकरण करने तथा नैतिकए सामाजिक एवं आध्यात्मिक मूल्यों का विकास करने के लिए आधुनिक शिक्षा प्रणाली में सुधार की आवश्यकता है। वर्तमान की शिक्षा प्रणाली में पारम्परिक एवं सैद्धांतिक पाठ्यक्रम की अधिकता हैं। इसके स्थान पर आधुनिक एवं प्रायोगिक पाठ्यक्रम को समुचित स्थान दिया जाना चाहिए, साथ ही इसे अधिक रोजगारोन्मुखी बनाएं जाने की भी जरूरत हैं।
Keywords: वैदिक काल, आधुनिक शिक्षा प्रणाली, सामाजिक, व्यावसायिक, तकनीकी शिक्षा।
Concept of state in the thinking of Mahatma Gandhi
Authors: Singh Vishal
Published: November 2024

Within Gandhiji's views on the state, it would be appropriate to give an outline of the ideal state depicted by Gandhiji, which he called Ramrajya. The use of the word 'Ramrajya' can be somewhat misleading because its literal meaning is 'Ramchandraji's kingdom'. In fact, due to the chaos and long difference of time between the time of King Ramchandra ji and today's situation, 'Ram Rajya' cannot be practical in today's situation. Gandhi was also aware of this. The word ‘Ramrajya’ has been used by him only in a figurative sense and not in the literal sense. In this regard, it is also worth remembering that Gandhi has also described two ideals similar to the plates. First, the perfect ideal, second sub-ideal, there is no place for the state under his perfect ideal social system, but Gandhi was a realist and he has accepted that considering the present state of human nature, it is not possible to establish a perfect ideal.
Abstract in Hindi Language:
गांधीजी के राज्य संबंधी विचारों के अंतर्गत ही गांधीजी द्वारा चित्रित आदर्श राज्य जिसे वे रामराज्य कहते थे की रूपरेखा दे देना उचित होगा। ‘रामराज्य‘ शब्द का प्रयोग कुछ भ्रामक हो सकता है क्योंकि इसका शाब्दिक अर्थ है ‘रामचन्द्रजी का राज्य‘। वस्तुतः राजा रामचन्द्र जी के समय और आज की स्थिति में अव्यवस्था व काल का लंबा भेद होने के कारण ‘रामराज्य‘ आज की स्थिति में व्यवहारिक नहीं हो सकता गांधी भी इस बात से परिचित थे। उनके द्वारा ‘रामराज्य‘ शब्द का प्रयोग भावना बस अलंकारिक अर्थ में किया गया है शाब्दिक अर्थ में नहीं। इस संबंध में यह भी स्मरणीय है की गांधी ने भी प्लेटों के समान दो आदर्शो का वर्णन किया है। प्रथम पूर्ण आदर्श, द्वितीय उपआदर्श, उनकी पूर्ण आदर्श सामाजिक व्यवस्था के अंतर्गत राज्य के लिए कोई स्थान नहीं लेकिन गांधी यर्थाथवादी थे और उन्होंने इस बात को स्वीकार किया है कि मानव स्वभाव की वर्तमान स्थिति को देखते हुए पूर्ण आदर्श की स्थापना संभव नहीं है।
Keywords: गांधीजी, रामराज्य, यर्थाथवादी, विकेन्द्रीकरण।
