Using a Social-Ecological Lens to Retrospectively Assess Witnesses' Responses to Bullying
Authors:   , Jacobsen-Grocott Tessa
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the experiences of individuals who have witnessed bullying throughout their life, and to consider how their behaviour differed across experiences. Past research in the area of bullying has highlighted the importance of witnesses, who play a key role in how bullying unfolds. However, there is limited research to date that considers how individuals may take on different witness roles across bullying incidents. In the present study, eight participants (three males, five females) aged 19 to 38 years were individually interviewed using a semi-structured interview format. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems perspective was used to develop a question guide for these interviews that holistically explored contextual and personal factors that influence witnesses’ behaviour. The question guide also included specific questions prompting participants to analytically reflect on their own experiences, as active contributors to the research. Participants’ answers were analysed in depth and key themes were extracted: the role teachers can play in guiding witness behaviour (the behaviour of witnesses); workplace systems not supporting witnesses to report bullying; learning and knowledge that is gained too late; witnesses' personal values that motivate their behaviour; direct contextual elements that impact witnesses' decisions and actions; and the power of foundational defending experiences to dictate ongoing witness behaviour. The participants’ own opinions on the strongest influences on witness behaviour were also shared. The findings of this research show that witness behaviour is substantially influenced by the effects of time and individual development, and highlight the need for more research exploring broader contextual influences on witness behaviour.

Authors: Hu Jinyu , Ma Yuan
Published: December 2024

In recent years, with the proposed construction of “new liberal arts,” some colleges and universities have made breakthroughs in interdisciplinary, curriculum integration, and education and teaching reform in combination with the actual situation and characteristics of their professional development, which has improved the quality of college talent training in the new era. Based on the requirements of “new liberal arts” construction, combined with the actual work of education and teaching, this paper explores the coupling degree of Chinese traditional culture teaching and national common language teaching in the aspects of value guidance, teaching methods, assessment, and evaluation, and applies the survey method and interview method to compare the differences before and after the pilot minority college students learn Chinese traditional culture curriculum reform, using group cooperation. The multi-dimensional teaching paths, such as the contrast of Chinese and Uyghur cultural communication and immersive experience, pay attention to the interdisciplinarity and the virtuous cycle teaching mode, aiming to make cultural education and language education move forward together, provide different perspectives for the cross-integration of cultural teaching and national standard language teaching, and give full play to the role of the construction of new liberal arts in the process of curriculum cross-teaching, teaching mode, and talent training.
Marginalized Visibility: Exploring Magical Realism and Social Injustice in If You Could See the Sun
Authors: Özbay Emrah
Published: December 2024

This study examines the theme of invisibility in Ann Liang’s novel If You Could See the Sun, focusing on protagonist Alice’s struggle against marginalization. Set in the elite environment of Airington, a prestigious school in Beijing, Alice contends with significant socioeconomic disparities between herself and her affluent classmates. The novel employs the device of magical realism, particularly through Alice’s unique ability to become invisible, to explore themes of invisibility and marginalization. This seemingly fantastical power serves as a metaphor for Alice’s feelings of being unseen and undervalued in a world dominated by privilege. By analysing Alice’s initial use of her invisibility for financial gain and her subsequent journey towards self-acceptance and empowerment, this study aims to enlighten the complex relationship between her marginalized status and her transformation. If You Could See the Sun not only depicts the personal growth of a young girl but also offers a commentary on the social and psychological impacts of marginalization, enriched by the novel’s adept use of magical realism.

POST-COLONIAL THEORY: THE INTERSECTION OF TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN INDIAN POLITICS
Authors: Verma Durgesh
Published: December 2024

In Indian politics, the meeting point of modernism and tradition exposes a complicated relationship moulded by the country's post-colonial legacy . Post-colonial theory offers a critical prism through which one could view how ideas, institutions, and political systems of India still show traces of colonial past. In the shifting political climate of India, modern ideas such as democracy, secularism, and economic liberalisation coexist with traditional values based in religion, caste, and regional identification. This study examines how these opposing forces interact, usually generating tensions and disparities in policymaking and government. Important questions illustrating the complexity of this junction include the function of caste in electoral politics, the influence of religious traditions on political ideologies, and the effect of economic reforms on the traditional rural economy. Moreover, the study looks at the Indian Constitution as a mix of modernism and legacy where provisions like the Uniform Civil Code and reservation policies denote continuous discussions. Case studies on gender politics, federalism, and environmental policy expose the ongoing need to strike a balance between history and the needs of a modern state. Furthermore discussed is how young people and digital media honour cultural legacy while developing current political identities. The paper concludes with evaluating the opportunities and difficulties India faces in negotiating twin currents of tradition and modernism in its political path, so implying that the future of Indian democracy will depend on how well it can coalesce several forces while managing newly emerging socio-political issues.

Published: December 2024

Changing consumer attitudes and a growing awareness of health and environmental concerns are driving significant growth in the organic food industry in India. This change is especially evident among Generation Z, who are becoming more conscious of how their consumption affects the planet. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated this movement, leading consumers to adopt healthier and more sustainable eating practices. In Coimbatore City, the popularity of organic food is increasing, this study investigates the factors that shape Gen Z consumers' intentions to buy organic products. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 219 Gen Z participants, focusing on aspects such as health awareness, environmental concerns, product quality, price sensitivity, and social influences. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data, Factor Analysis, and One-Way ANOVA. The results indicate that regular buyers of organic food demonstrate stronger intentions to purchase, with health benefits, environmental sustainability, and perceived product quality being significant motivators. While organic products are well-known, the decisions to purchase are greatly impacted by the prices and social influences despite the awareness. The analysis also reveals no significant links between demographic factors like age, education, and income, and purchase intentions, suggesting that Gen Z consumers from various backgrounds have similar reasons for opting for organic food. These results highlight the increasing popularity of conscious consumption among Gen Z and provide important insights for stakeholders looking to engage with the expanding organic food industry in Coimbatore.

Published: December 2024

The development of Ekas Bay as a center for integrated aquaculture activities, particularly through the Floating Net Cage (FNC) system, can impact phytoplankton abundance and water fertility. Phytoplankton, a type of plankton capable of photosynthesis, acts as a primary producer and serves as a key food source for fish and lobsters. The presence of phytoplankton is closely related to the fertility levels of waters designated for marine aquaculture. This study aims to determine the composition and abundance of phytoplankton in the waters of Ekas Bay. The research employed purposive sampling, collecting phytoplankton samples from five predetermined stations: three points near FNCs and two points distant from the FNC area. The results indicate that the plankton abundance in the waters of Ekas Bay is categorized as mesotrophic. The highest phytoplankton abundance was recorded at Station V with 9,523 cells/L, while the lowest was at Station II with 2,150 cells/L. Based on station characteristics, Station V is the farthest point from FNCs, whereas Station II contains a high concentration of FNCs. The community structure, as indicated by the H’, E, and D values, suggests that the waters of Ekas Bay remain in a stable condition. Phytoplankton from the class Bacillariophyta was the most commonly found, although no specific genus was dominant.

Authors: Nisa Andina Chairun , Jatayu Diklawati , Pratama Komang Aditya
Published: December 2024

Vaname shrimp remains a prime commodity due to several advantages, including the ability to thrive in a salinity range of 0.5-31 ppt, with a stocking density of 100-300 individuals/m², a faster growth cycle of 90-100 days, and a high appetite leading to rapid growth. Currently, the technology for culturing vaname shrimp has advanced with the implementation of intensive systems that utilize high stocking densities, although this impacts water quality. One approach to maintaining good water quality, especially in reducing organic waste, is the use of prebiotics and probiotics. Further studies are needed to determine the productivity of vaname shrimp with the addition of probiotics and prebiotics in shrimp culture. This research employed a survey method with parameters observed including productivity and water quality. Productivity encompassed stocking density, Average Body Weight (ABW), Average Daily Growth (ADG), population, biomass, Food Conversion Rate (FCR), Survival Rate (SR), and size. Water quality parameters measured included salinity, temperature, pH, DO using a Multitester, alkalinity, TOM, Ca, Mg, Total Hardness using titration, PO4, NH4, NO3, NO2 using a test kit, the number of green algae, blue-green algae, diatoms, euglena, and dinoflagellates using a hemocytometer, zooplankton, and protozoa using a Sedgewick Rafter, total bacteria, total vibrio, and the number of yellow, green, and black vibrio using Total Plate Count (TPC). Data analysis used descriptive methods. The results showed that the harvest exceeded the company's target, and the SR and FCR values were categorized as good in vaname shrimp cultivation. Water quality measurements indicated that conditions were still optimal for vaname shrimp culture.

Authors: Nnachi OC , Akulue JC , Ekwe AN , Ugwu GC , Nnachi OA , Uzor CC
Published: December 2024

Background: Donor characteristics could significantly impact the availability and quality of blood products.
Objective: To examine the socio-demographic and haematological profile of voluntary blood donors in Abakaliki and their suitability for whole blood and component donation.  
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 103 prospective voluntary donors. Socio-demographic characteristics were obtained using a questionnaire. A blood count was performed with a haematology autoanalyser, while the Haemoglobin phenotype was done by Haemoglobin electrophoresis.
Results: Males were in a slight majority of the voluntary blood donors (56; 54.4%), while females were 47 (45.6%). Most were undergraduates (89; 86.4%) within the age range of 18-25 years. Thirty-two per cent were repeat donors. The blood donors' mean haematocrit level and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) were 36.3±5.3% and 78.9±5.7fl, respectively, which may suggest latent iron deficiency anaemia. Platelet count was 162.1±62.8 x 10 9/L, which is not optimal for high-yield platelet donation, while 65% and 35% of the 103 blood donors had HbAA and HbAS haemoglobin phenotype, respectively.
Conclusion: Most blood donors were males and students with minimal representation of other occupation groups. Their mean haematocrit and MCV were low, while platelet count was compatible with the WHO threshold for apheresis platelet donation, albeit undesirably low for optimal platelet yield. A significant proportion of donors is the haemoglobin AS phenotype. Strategic blood donor recruitment, nutritional counselling and supplementation may be employed to improve the availability and quality of blood and its components.

Solar radiation data forecasting algorithms are important, especially in developing countries, as vast solar power plants cannot measure reliable and constant solar irradiance. The challenges of solar irradiance prediction may be resolved by machine learning using weather datasets. This study emphasises the daily and monthly global solar radiation data predictions of three locations, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and Vuwani, at different provinces in South Africa with various solar radiation distributions. The study evaluated five different machine learning models. Forecasting models were established to evaluate global solar radiation, focusing on input data. The selected forecast models are centered on their ability to perform with time series data. These models use five years of data from meteorological parameters, such as global horizontal irradiance (GHI), relative humidity, wind speed and ambient temperature between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2022. The datasets from these meteorological parameters are utilised for training and testing the employed algorithms, which are examined using five statistical metrics. Moreover, the inconsistency of the solar irradiance time series was equally assessed using the clearness index. The results from this study demonstrate that the R2 value recording 0.866 datasets in Bloemfontein of random forest algorithm presents the highest performance during the training processes for all models studied, while the random tree in Vuwani showed the lowest performance of R2 of 0.210 with other algorithms in testing processes. Additionally, the maximum solar radiation was found in December for both Pretoria and Bloemfontein, recorded as 5.347 and 5.844 kWh/m2/day, respectively, while it was 4.692 kWh/m2/day at Vuwani in January. Similarly, the average clearness index of 0.605, 0.657 and 0.533 are obtained at Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and Vuwani, respectively. Among the three sites under study, the solar radiation and clearness index are higher in Bloemfontein. Therefore, the proposed algorithms could be used conveniently for short- and long-term solar power plants in South Africa.

Floods are among the most severe and frequent natural disasters, impacting numerous countries worldwide. This study investigates flood mapping methodologies utilizing Google Earth Engine (GEE) with Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Landsat data, focusing on the January 2021 Tetouan flood in Morocco. Three approaches were assessed: Sentinel-1 thresholding and NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) methods applied to Sentinel-2 and Landsat imagery. The analysis revealed flooded areas of 891 hectares (Sentinel-1), 814 hectares (Sentinel-2), and 1237 hectares (Landsat), validated against ArcGIS (Geographic Information System) results estimating 900 hectares. Sentinel-1 demonstrated superior accuracy with only a 9-hectare deviation and proved effective under cloudy conditions. Sentinel-2 provided a balance between spatial resolution and error levels, with moderate commission and omission errors. Landsat detected the largest flood extent but exhibited a slight overestimation. The study emphasizes the advantages of GEE’s cloud-based platform, which significantly reduced processing time, facilitating rapid flood extent mapping. This scalability and efficiency make GEE an invaluable tool for disaster management. The results underline the potential of these methodologies for accurate and timely flood monitoring, enabling informed decision-making in resilience planning and emergency response. Such advancements are critical for mitigating the impacts of flooding and supporting sustainable disaster management strategies in vulnerable regions worldwide.

The Russian energy sector remains heavily reliant on thermal power plants, with gas generation accounting for approximately 66% of the installed capacity. However, the industry faces challenges such as depletion of reserves, rising prices for hydrocarbons, and increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This study focuses on developing new scientific and technical solutions to increase the efficiency and environmental safety of combined cycle power units. The research involves structural and parametric optimization of trinary cycle power plants operating on a methane-hydrogen mixture, as well as the development and optimization of turbine and heat exchange equipment for low-temperature power plants. The results show that the transition to trinary CCGT (Combine Cycle Gas Turbine) units with deep utilization and the use of hydrogen fuel can significantly reduce specific CO2 emissions and increase energy efficiency up to 0.21% with also increases in capacity of turbine of approximately 17 MW. The aim of this research is to calculate the efficiency, cost effectiveness and environmental-friendly solution for power generation using mixture of hydrogen- methane as fuel in combine cycle power plant that includes ORC.  Additionally, the efficiency of the organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) benefits from the increased moisture, with capacity improvements of 1-2 MW observed when the hydrogen proportion rises from 25% to 50%. Moreover, the potential for zero emissions, coupled with significant increases in power output and efficiency, underscores hydrogen's role as a pivotal component in the future of energy production.
