Investigation into the Development of Waste to Energy as an Alternative Energy Source
Authors: Khan Shanza , Haroon Aiman , Majeed Nageen
Published: January 2024

Pakistan, a developing nation, is facing a critical crisis regarding its fossil fuel resources and the production of electrical energy. The country's electricity demand has reached approximately 29,000 MW, while the generation capacity is only 22,000 MW. This significant gap between generation and demand has led to load-shedding. To address this issue, we are considering the development of waste-to-energy plants, which are waste management facilities that utilize combustion to generate electricity. Instead of relying on traditional fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas, waste-to-energy plants use trash as a fuel source. By burning this fuel, heat is produced, which heats water to generate steam that drives a turbine, ultimately creating electricity. While waste-to-energy is often portrayed as a viable method for extracting energy from available resources, it does pose challenges to the circular economy. This approach generates toxic waste, contributes to air pollution, and exacerbates climate change. These plants emit chemicals such as mercury and dioxins, which pose risks to human and environmental health. To address these concerns, we aim to investigate the development of waste-to-energy as an alternative energy source while prioritizing creating a healthy environment. As part of this effort, we intend to implement a sensor network to detect the heat generated during incineration and monitor the emission of pollutants. Our overarching goal is to generate electricity while recycling waste materials as much as possible, thus promoting a sustainable and eco-friendly approach.

Published: January 2024

The global energy demand and energy crisis such as the use of fossil fuel for energy conversion and storage have created a need for the development of clean and sustainable renewable energy sources such as fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, solar. However, commercialization of renewable energy devices relies heavily on exploring and devising highly functional and stable materials. High entropy materials are emerging, high-performing electrocatalysts due to their intrinsic tenability; hence, these materials may result in earth-abundant catalysts for efficient electrochemical energy storage and conversion. In this chapter, advancements in the energy storage and conversion efficiencies of emerging materials, i.e. high entropy and metal hydrides, as well as their counterparts, i.e. PGMs and MOFs, respectively are discussed. Their applications in fuel cells, hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, hydrogen storage, and batteries are deliberated. Furthermore, computer modeling (density functional theory) and machine learning are factored in to supplement the catalytic processes in energy generation and storage reactions.

Authors: C. Kyle William , Jr.  , A. Belciak Emilia
Published: January 2024

In this chapter, we offer a rationale for why science educators ought to become active agents in facilitating the engagement of youth as they acquire the knowledge and skills to address global challenges facing humanity. The youth of today are demanding action. Science educators have a responsibility to facilitate learners - and their communities - as they transform and reinvent the world they are inheriting. Science education is a primary means of investing in human resources. The youth of today must be able to address complex everyday issues that are yet unforeseen. This is not a modest goal, but it must be accomplished. All learners must have access to an equitable education. We must bridge the divide and facilitate dialog between formal and informal/free-choice educators, as well as disciplinary and interdisciplinary science educators. Today’s youth recognize the consequence of failing to transform towards a more sustainable, equitable, and socially just future is profound.

Hemodynamics and Kinetics of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Shock
Authors: Brailovsky Yevgeniy , Rame J. , Jemtel Thierry , Rajapreyar Indranee
Published: January 2024

The classical paradigm of cardiogenic shock is severe impairment of left ventricular, right ventricular, or biventricular contractility resulting in decreased cardiac output and end-organ failure. In patients with preserved ejection fraction, cardiogenic shock results from impaired left ventricular filling leading to decreased cardiac output and end-organ hypoperfusion. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) comprises a heterogenous group of myocardial and systemic metabolic derangements. Cardiogenic shock with preserved left ventricular ejection is thought to be less common than with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, and therapeutic approaches are not well standardized. We aim to review the pathophysiology of cardiogenic shock in HFpEF, define various etiologies that culminate in the HFpEF shock state, and present our algorithmic approach to managing these complex patients.
COVID-19 Induced Right Ventricular Failure and Right Ventricular Assist Device Support
Authors: Slepian Marvin
Published: January 2024

COVID-19, while primarily recognized for its pulmonary and systemic manifestations, afflicts the cardiovascular system through various abnormalities. Notably, right ventricular (RV) involvement leading to dysfunction and failure is a manifestation seen in up to 20% of severe COVID patients. RV severity correlates with overall COVID severity, serving as a prognostic marker. Data review reveals that RV failure was largely underdiagnosed, particularly early on in the pandemic. The therapy approach for RV failure in patients with COVID should focus on supporting overall RV perfusion pressure, maintaining sinus rhythm, optimizing RV loading conditions and contractility, and addressing anticoagulation and thrombus-related conditions. Beyond medical therapy, cardiac and pulmonary support should be utilized and introduced in a graded, stair-step approach of aggressiveness based on clinical need. This approach is best managed with a care team and defined protocols. Effective devices include right ventricular assistance devices (RVAD), Oxy-RVAD, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and Impella (Abiomed) devices.

Two new species of Monstrilla (Copepoda: Monstrilloida: Monstrillidae) from a protected reef system of the Mexican Caribbean
Authors: Suárez-Morales Eduardo
Published: January 2024

Several adult female monstrilloid copepods, collected in March 2022 from the protected reef area of Xcalak, on the southern part of the Mexican Caribbean coast, proved to belong to two undescribed species of Monstrilla Dana, 1849. They are described here as M. xcalakensis sp. nov. and M. annulata sp. nov., partly by use of scanning electron microscopy. Females of the two species are generally similar but differ in: (1) antennular segmental structure, (2) antennular armature and ornamentation, (3) structure and setation of the fifth leg, (4) number and modifications of the caudal setae, and (5) integumental ornamentation. Comparison with congeneric species revealed distinctive features for both species that support their status as new. These two species are interesting additions to the reef-dwelling monstrilloid copepod fauna of the Mexican Caribbean and confirm Monstrilla as the most diverse genus of monstrilloids in this area, now represented by nine species.

Dinamika Radikalisme di Pesantren: Tinjauan terhadap Isu dan Tantangan
Authors: Ardianto Risko Aris , Ansori Isa
Published: January 2024

Islamic boarding schools, known as pesantren, play a crucial role as traditional Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia and have been a focal point in discussions surrounding radicalism. This research aims to uncover the dynamics of radicalism that may occur within the pesantren environment and analyze the contributing factors to the spread of radical ideologies among the students. The research methodology employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and content analysis of relevant literature. The findings indicate that while pesantren play a significant role in shaping Islamic character and identity, they are also susceptible to the influence of radical ideologies. Factors such as economic inequality, social dissatisfaction, and a lack of inclusive education contribute to the emergence of radical attitudes among the students. Addressing the challenge of radicalism in pesantren involves enhancing understanding of moderate Islamic teachings, strengthening critical education, and fostering collaboration among the government, society, and pesantren. Prevention efforts should also focus on improving the well-being of pesantren, enhancing teacher capacity, and implementing inclusive educational approaches to minimize the potential for radicalization within pesantren communities. This research contributes to a better understanding of radicalism issues in pesantren and provides a foundation for the development of holistic and sustainable policies and prevention programs.

Eight-membered ornament structures on Trypillia bowls and pots
Authors: Prychepii Yevhen
Published: January 2024

The origin of ornaments and their semantics is a problem that has not been sufficiently examined in modern science. The purpose of the study is to clarify the semantics of Trypillia ceramic ornaments using the structural method. The structures of bowl ornaments that are formed from eight symbols are examined. There are two types (A and B) of symbols in the structure. It is established that four characters A are interspersed with four characters B. The characteristic features of symbol A and symbol B are determined. It is hypothesised that the symbol A stands for gods, and the symbol B – goddesses. Eight-membered structures of ornaments on pots are examined. It is shown that they are also formed from four symbols of gods and four symbols of goddesses. The specifics of the formation of symbols of goddesses are traced. It is presented that in the ornament behind the symbols of the goddesses, in one case, one goddess is hidden in another – the three goddesses. It is believed that one goddess symbolises the Cosmos as a whole or the Moon, and the three goddesses embody the three main spheres of the Cosmos – the underworld, the sphere of life, and the sky or the three phases of the Moon. The study helped to establish the patterns of the formation of ornaments and form a hypothesis, according to which the symbols of ornaments hide the four gods and the four goddesses of Trypillia. Identification of the patterns of formation of Trypillian ornaments can serve as a key for delving into the semantics of ornaments of other archaic cultures and the semantics of traditional folk ornaments, in which the cult of the goddess can be traced
The idea of work in the philosophy of Abai Qunanbaiuly
Authors: Volkov Serhii
Published: January 2024

In recent years, there has been an intensification of broad discussion of the problem of preserving intangible cultural legacy in the scientific, cultural, and social environment. Therewith, art education as an institutionalised educational system and a set of performing, pedagogical, compositional, art history, and other practices have not yet been considered in the scientific literature as a substantial component of the intangible cultural legacy, which determines the relevance of this study. The author attempts to direct scientific thought to the consideration of educational artistic practices as part of the intangible cultural legacy in the aspect of preservation in modern institutionalised educational systems. The study uses a set of methods: historical-cultural, systematic and interdisciplinary approaches, comparative analysis, generalisation and systematisation, aimed at highlighting the place of art education in the system of intangible cultural legacy. The issues of preserving the practices of intangible cultural legacy accumulated in the experience of teaching groups of the Kyiv Lysenko State Music Lyceum, Lviv Krushelnytska State Music Lyceum, Odesa School of Stolyarsky, and Kharkiv State Music Lyceum are considered During the 20th century, the teaching staff of these educational institutions created a number of personalised pedagogical schools that presented their own methods of training musical personnel in combination with higher art educational institutions. This allowed art education in Ukraine to be institutionalised into a separate specific branch, which applied the meritocratic principle in the organisation of the educational process, which gives grounds to consider these educational practices as an intangible cultural legacy of the state. The study focuses on the experience of preserving educational practices of the intangible cultural legacy of Hungary and China as examples for Ukraine. The system of training musical and, more broadly, artistic personnel has all the signs of exclusivity and is worthy of scientific justification to preserve the experience of several generations of musicians who combine performing and pedagogical practice. The inclusion of the best practices of the collectives of the Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Kharkiv music lyceums in the national list of elements of the intangible cultural legacy of UNESCO will be one of the measures for their preservation and meets the goals of the convention for the protection of the intangible cultural legacy of UNESCO

This study explores the Jewish concept of slavery and compares it to the 21st Century African sojourners in Diasporas, with a focus on Nigerian professionals who have migrated to other countries in search of better opportunities. In contemporary affairs, Jews and African-Americans have cooperated in the Civil Rights Movement, motivated partially by the common background of slavery. The three types of slavery Africans have engaged in which are: 1. Colonial or force slavery by the European 2. Leadership slavery and, 3. Self slavery, (Talabi, 2021). Individual migrating in search of greener pastures shall be adequately discussed in this paper with empirical evidences. Drawing on historical and religious texts, the paper analyzes the Jewish understanding of slavery and the ethical considerations that arise from it. It also examines the experiences of Nigerian professionals in diasporas, highlighting their contributions to their host countries and the challenges they face as immigrants. Finally, this qualitative study discusses the implications of these experiences for contemporary discussions on migration and global citizenship, arguing that the Jewish concept of slavery offers a useful framework for re-thinking about the ethical dimensions of immigration policies and practices in the 21st Century due to the failures of African leaders in developing their respective societies and followership inability to lead peaceful protest that will propel rebuilding or happen African Governance.

The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has renewed a major chapter in the field of physics, chemistry, mechanics and materials science owing to their high-quality possession of: excellent tensile strength, high conductivity, high aspect ratio, thermally stable and high chemical stability. This work studies the dynamic and instability analysis of single walled carbon nanotube with geometrical imperfection resting on elastic medium in a magneto-thermally-electrostatic environments with impact of Casimir force. However, Eringen nonlocal theory and Hamilton principles are used to develop the nonlinear governing partial differential equations of motions and the governing equations of motion is converted into a duffing equation using Galerkin decomposition method and subsequently, the duffing equation is solve using Homotropic Perturbation Method (HPM), where dynamic responses are obtained. The results obtain depicted that, the effects of magnetic term, thermal term and Pasternak type foundation on dimensionless amplitude-frequency ratio for fixed-fixed and fixed-simple supports make the investigation novelty as it can be used as reference in future study. Finally, the deflection curves show how the compression zone is augmented using Casimir and electrostatic forces and the results obtained show reasonable accuracy.

The EAC countries have had long history of reforming and strategizing policies in order to boost FDI inflows so as to create both low and high-skilled employment, facilitating technology diffusion and access to international markets. This paper thus applied Granger-Causality test to investigate whether FDI inflows in five countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi) of East African Community have any significant impact to the rate of employment. Employment rates as the percentage of total employment in four categories which include three sectors of industry, agriculture and service; together with country’s employment to population ratio for people over fifteen years in each country were analyzed against FDI net inflows as the percentage of GDP. Pearson correlation coefficients and corresponding test statistics were performed as preliminary analyses to assess the degree of relationship between FDI and employment in each category. Granger-causality test was later employed to examine the extent of causality relationship. The general findings indicate that causality from FDI to employment in Kenya and Tanzania is insignificant in all sectors, while is significant in only industrial sector in Uganda and to aggregate employment to population ratio in Burundi. Only Rwanda has indicated significant causality in all but agricultural sector. The paper therefore calls for policy re-examination in the countries to tap the potentials of FDI inflows in addressing the excess of labor supply, taking into account sectoral preferences.

Música, filosofía y transcomplejidad
Authors: Hernández Buenaño Gregth Raynell
Published: January 2024

El presente documento, pretende evidenciar la relación entre la música y el pensamiento, dos formas de arte y expresión, que se orientan en desarrollar un equilibro, entre la ciencia, el arte, la lógica y la emoción, que demuestran la necesidad del hombre en sostener una visión integral y trascendental sobre su contexto, en un intento de concebir una percepción profusa e integradora de la realidad. Con el surgimiento de la transcomplejidad, el hombre se encuentra ante una posibilidad de construir una visión abierta, reflexiva e integradora de su entorno, con la intención de resignificar su percepción de la realidad desde una postura flexible e inacabada. No obstante, en el estudio filosófico de la música, esta nos ha demostrado desde sus inicios algunos aspectos que la transcomplejidad ha proporcionado al hombre en la contemporaneidad. Por lo que ¿será la música un precedente del códex transcomplejo? ¿Su naturaleza filosófica permite vislumbrar una relación compleja e integradora del hombre y su entorno? ¿la música es el principio del despertar gestáltico? Por ello, el autor se vale de un recorrido entre música y filosofía, buscando superar las fronteras clásicas en su apreciación y estudio, demostrando su importancia en el plano de la transcomplejidad en su intento de construir nuevas representaciones para ver la vida y resignificar la realidad.

La inteligencia emocional es la habilidad del individuo para reconocer sus propias emociones y las de otras personas; esta capacidad le permite identificar sentimientos, orientar el pensamiento y adaptar su conducta al entorno de manera adecuada. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la inteligencia emocional de los docentes en relación con el aprendizaje de biología de los estudiantes universitarios de la Universidad del Zulia. La metodología empleada fue cuantitativa, de tipo descriptiva y con un diseño no experimental y transversal. La población estudiada estuvo constituida por 5 profesores y 38 alumnos, a quienes se les aplicó un cuestionario digital con información sobre las variables en estudio. La confiabilidad se determinó a través del Alfa de Cronbach, resultando en un valor de 0,964. Para el procesamiento de los datos, se utilizó el programa SPSS 27.Los resultados indican que los docentes presentan deficiencias en los componentes de la inteligencia emocional. Además, los estilos de aprendizaje según el agente modulador en los estudiantes muestran una similar ineficiencia, denotando una debilidad en esta área. Se concluye que la inteligencia emocional de los docentes en el contexto del aprendizajede biología es insuficiente. Por lo tanto, se recomienda que los educadores fortalezcan estas habilidades para potenciar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en sus educandos.
Deep Learning Techniques for Air Quality Prediction: A Focus on PM2.5 and Periodicity
Authors: Shankar Lakshmi , Arasu Krishnamoorthy
Published: January 2024

The rapid increase in traffic, urbanization, and industrial expansion has all contributed to a decrease in air quality, which has a vital impact on both the long-term feasibility of the environment and the health of humans, particularly in industrialized nations. Numerous studies have explored using machine learning for air quality forecasting to reduce pollution. While shallow machine learning architectures offer less accurate forecasts, deep learning, a recent advancement in computational intelligence, has immense potential in predicting air quality. Deep learning frameworks can identify intricate correlations and patterns in data on air quality, resulting in more accurate and dependable predictions. Several aspects, including climatic conditions, emission sources, and geographical characteristics, may be considered by these models, which can help one better understand and anticipate air pollution levels. This research investigates deep learning applications' periodic changes in air quality. Hybrid deep learning methods utilize optimization, data decomposition, and correlation evaluation between PM2.5 particles and other factors to overcome limitations. This study contrasts various deep learning algorithms for forecasts of air quality and demonstrates that hybrid deep learning is more accurate compared to each model alone at predicting future periods of air quality. It proposes future research directions for the future generation of models. The literature summary provides valuable insights for academics seeking future studies in this field.
