Project Body Neutrality: Piloting a digital single-session intervention for adolescent body image and depression
Authors: Smith Arielle C. , Ahuvia Isaac , Ito Sakura , Schleider Jessica L.
Published: January 2023

Objective: Eating disorders (EDs) and depression impact youth at alarming rates, yet most adolescents do not access support. Single-session interventions (SSIs) can reach youth in need. This pilot examines the acceptability and utility of an SSI designed to help adolescents improve functionality appreciation (a component of body neutrality) by focusing on valuing one’s body based on the functions it performs, regardless of appearance satisfaction. Method: Pre- to post-intervention data were collected, and within-group effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals were computed, to evaluate the immediate effects of the SSI on hopelessness, functionality appreciation, and body dissatisfaction. Patterns of use, demographics, program feedback, and responses from within the SSI were collected.Results: The SSI and all questionnaires were completed by 75 adolescents (ages 13-17, 74.70% White/Caucasian, 48.00% woman/girl) who reported elevated body image and mood problems. Analyses detected significant pre-post improvements in hopelessness (dav = 0.60, 95% CI 0.35, 0.84; dz = 0.77, 95% CI 0.51, 1.02), functionality appreciation (dav = 0.72, 95% CI 0.46, 0.97; dz = 0.94, 95% CI 0.67, 1.21), and body dissatisfaction (dav = 0.61, 95% CI 0.36, 0.86; dz = 0.76, 95% CI 0.50, 1.02). The SSI was rated as highly acceptable, with a mean overall score of 4.34/5 (SD = 0.54). Qualitative feedback suggested adolescents' endorsement of body neutrality concepts, including functionality appreciation, as personally-relevant, helpful targets for intervention.Discussion: This evaluation supports the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of the Project Body Neutrality SSI for adolescents with body image and mood concerns.

Fitouchi and colleagues persuasively argue against popular disgust-based accounts of puritanical morality. However, they do not consider alternative disgust-based accounts of moral condemnation. We argue that these other accounts are more promising than those dismissed in the target article.
From the Pitch to the Job Market: A Scoping Review of Sport for Employability Programmes
Authors: Moustakas Louis , van Zantvoort Laura
Published: January 2023

Rationale and Research Questions: There has been growing recognition from of the potential for sport to contribute to development, and employability has emerged as one of the core thematic areas of sport for development (SFD). However, we have a limited overview of SFD programmes and their contributions as it relates to (youth) employability. As such, the following review seeks to summarise current literature on the topic and answer three related questions: (1) how are sport-for-employability programmes structured?; (2) what sport and non-sport activities are used?; and (3) what competencies are developed or targeted through these programmes?Research Methods: A Scoping Review following Arksey and O’Malley (2005) is conducted to locate and synthesize literature on sport-for-employability programmes. Results: Programmes mainly rely on a mix of sport activities and workshops to develop a sub-set of social and personal competencies and support the acquisition of general employment skills as well as some formal qualifications across a range of sport or service-related professions. Implications: The focus on a limited set of competencies and service professions can limit the quality and stability of employment outcomes and may not align with the broader realities of the employment market. As such, we conclude by proposing future research avenues to address these concerns.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases and cholesterol levels are increased postmenopausal/perimenopausal women. Cardiac autonomic tone as assessed with heart rate variability (HRV) is also altered in postmenopausal women. Yoga practice improves vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women. Whether yoga can improve HRV and cholesterol levels in perimenopausal women is not clear. 
Methods: Sixty perimenopausal women, not on any medication, were randomized into two groups; yoga (n=30, age 44±2.64 years) and control (n=30, age 46±5.09 years). The yoga group practiced meditation, pranayama, and few simple asanas for 40 min/day, 6 days/week for four weeks along with their daily routine activities. The control group practiced no additional exercises except their daily routine activities. Short-term HRV, lipid profile, and other biochemical parameters were assessed at the beginning and after four weeks and compared. 
Results: Both groups were comparable in terms of their age body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate at 0 week. The yoga group showed a decrease in BMI, HR, systolic BP, total cholesterol [167.81±32.69 vs 144.46±26.98 mg/dl, p=0.013], LDL-cholesterol [118.19±28.25 vs 94.33±23.55 mg/dl, 0.002]; and an increase in HDL-cholesterol (49.62±6.34 vs 56.37±8.19 mg/dl, p=0.004), markers of cardiac parasympathetic tone [SDNN {33.3(24.35-40.1) vs 43.2(34.4-50.1) ms, p=0.041}, rMSSD {25.2(21.95-33.05) vs 30.6(25.1-38.0) ms, p=0.034}, and high frequency power] after four weeks of yoga practice. 
Conclusion: Parasympathetic tone and HDL-cholesterol increased, whereas total and LDL-cholesterol, BMI, HR, and systolic BP decreased in perimenopausal women after four weeks of yoga practice. It is suggested that yoga can be a cardio-protective alternative therapeutic measure in perimenopausal women.
Prevalence of prehypertension and its associated risk factors among students of a nursing campus in Nepal
Authors: Pun Dilli Bahadur , Thapa Bobby
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Prehypertension is an early indicator of hypertension and subsequently the increased risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in later years of life. Prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension was found to be higher among adults in Nepal. However it is not much explored among the young population focusing on gender, hence requiring more studies to control it efficiently. Thus, this study aims to determine the prevalence of prehypertension and its associated risk factors among nursing students.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the nursing students of Nepalgunj Nursing Campus, Banke, Nepal. Blood pressure measurement and anthropometric measurement was done for data collection. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation and chi square test was done using SPSS v20.
Results: Total 189 female nursing students participated whose mean age was 22.06±3.42 years. Only 21 participants (11.1%) had prehypertension. Out of total, 36 (19%) were overweight and 11 (5.8%) were obese; 56 (29.6%) had a high waist hip ratio and 75 (39.7%) of the participants had family history of hypertension. There was no significant association of prehypertension with body mass index, waist hip ratio and family history of hypertension. However, the systolic blood pressure was moderately and positively correlated with waist circumference (r=0.215, p=0.003), hip circumference (r=0.222, p=0.002) and body mass index (r=0.237, p=0.001) but not with waist-hip ratio. Similarly, the diastolic blood pressure was also moderately and positively correlated with waist circumference (r=0.309, p<0.001), hip circumference (r=0.269, p<0.001), body mass index (r=0.269, p<0.001) and waist hip ratio (r=0.178, p=0.014).
Conclusions: Although the prevalence of prehypertension among nursing students is low and there are no significantly associated risk factors, blood pressure is still correlated with the anthropometric measurements.

Kolektyw czy jednostka? Kto tworzy teorie (nie tylko) naukowe? O pewnym szczególe w koncepcji Ludwika Flecka
Sformułowana w latach 30. XX wieku przez Ludwika Flecka teza, że to nie jednostka w sposóbautonomiczny i niezależny formułuje nowe koncepcje naukowe, współcześnie nie budzi jużkontrowersji, przyjmuje się bowiem, że proces poznania przebiega w kontekście społecznym i jestuwarunkowany kulturowo. Nadal jednak nierozstrzygnięty pozostaje problem udziału jednostkiw odkryciu naukowym. Choć sam Fleck posługiwał się wyrażeniem “jednostka wyjątkowo twórcza”na oznaczenie osoby, która jest odpowiedzialna za nową koncepcję, nie był jeszcze w stanie objaśnićw sposób precyzyjny osobliwej oscylacji tego, co społeczne, i tego, co stricte osobiste w procesieustanawiania nowych koncepcji. Polski mikrobiolog sformułował jednak kilka istotnych sugestii,które w powiązaniu z najnowszymi badaniami, np. T. Hutchinsa, K. Knorr Cetiny czy B. Latoura,mogą przynajmniej przybliżyć nas do pełniejszego zrozumienia tego, jak nowe wkracza do Nauki.
Exodus or Exile: The Trope of "more life" in Louise Glück’s Poetry

Exodus or Exile: The Trope of "more life" in Louise Glück’s Poetry

What is life in poetry? One concept that is trying to answer this questions is a psycho-theological, messianic and vitalist category of “more life,” elaborated by the Polish scholar Agata Bielik-Robson on the basis of Harold Bloom’s theory of poetic incarnation. Bloom’s writings constitute a link between the Jewish messianic vitalism and the vitalist line of American poetry, in which I place Glück. An antithetical position of subjectivityagainst the orders of experience governed by law and necessity (nature and death), “more life” positions the poetic psyche in a precarious position as an excessive entity in-betweenthem. The article examines a trajectory of the positions that Glück’s poetic subjects takein relation to those orders in the context of the messianic promise of “more life.”

GAMALIEL CHURATA: VISIÓN DEL PANTEÍSMO Y LA RELIGIÓN
Authors: Obando Morán Octavio
Published: January 2023

El artículo busca entender la perspectiva de la religión y el panteísmo que emana de la obra El Pez de oro de Gamaliel Churata (Arturo Pablo Peralta Miranda, 1897-1969). Lo más relevante de este autor fue el intento de observar el mundo desde el horizonte indígena, tarea en la cual no está solo, y quien sabe sea esa la especificidad del modo de comprensión del mundo, una ontología heredada e implícita, que hay en las ciudades del litoral peruano, producida por la “cholificación” desarrollada desde 1968 en adelante.

КУРІННЯ ТЮТЮНУ ЧЕРЕЗ КАЛЬЯН: ПРИЧИНИ І НАСЛІДКИ ДЛЯ ЗДОРОВ’Я СТУДЕНТСЬКОЇ МОЛОДІ
Authors: Товкун Лідія
Published: January 2023

У статті зазначено, що за останні десятиліття спостерігається те, що класичне паління тютюну витісняється палінням тютюну через кальян. Такий спосіб відпочинку є притаманним у багатьох кафе, барах, ресторанах і є легкодоступним не лише для студентської молоді, а й для старшокласників. Утім уявлення про те, що куріння тютюну через кальян не приносить шкоди здоров’ю – хибне. В Україні паління тютюну через кальян нині є актуальною медико-валеологічною проблемою.
Метою дослідження стало визначення причин, які сприяють розвитку шкідливої звички куріння кальяну серед студентської молоді в Україні, а також ризиків для їх здоров’я (на прикладі здобувачів вищої освіти Університету Григорія Сковороди в Переяславі).
За допомогою анкетного та експериментального методів отримані результати дослідження дозволили встановити, що переважна кількість досліджуваних студентів курять кальян. Головними причинами куріння тютюну через кальян у них є: можливість розслабитися, особисте задоволення і підтримка компанії. Куріння кальяну згубно впливає на функціонування серцево-судинної та дихальної систем досліджуваних, що в свою чергу збільшує ризик розвитку небезпечних захворювань. З’ясовано, що досліджуваним притаманний низький рівень обізнаності щодо реальних наслідків куріння кальяну на організм людини.
Встановлено, що в середньому сеанс куріння кальяну досліджуваними студентами триває від 20 до 60 хвилин. За цей час курець робить ≈169 затяжок із об’ємом ≈528 мл кальянного диму. Тривалість однієї затяжки ≈3 сек. із частотою 3 затяжки за хвилину. Значна кількість потенційно небезпечних складових речовин кальянного диму на стільки висока, що під час вдихання певного об’єму такого диму та їх кількість за хвилину це є не лише токсикологічним ризиком порушення здоров’я у молодих людей, які курять кальян, а й ризик порушення їх психічного і репродуктивного здоров’я, що матиме довгострокове негативне відлуння для майбутніх поколінь. Особливо це стосується тих дітей, які народяться у жінок, які під час вагітності часто будуть курити кальян, тому що матимуть вищий ризик розвитку респіраторних захворювань. А також такі жінки можуть народжувати дітей із меншою вагою, ніж ті, котрі взагалі ніколи не курили.
З огляду на це, сучасній студентській молоді варто пам’ятати про небезпеку кальяну й обирати здорове, якісне життя і без найменшої шкоди для власного здоров’я.
Ключові слова: тютюн, кальян, токсичні речовини, студентська молодь, порушення здоров’я, інфекційні захворювання.
СНЮС: ПРИЧИНИ І НАСЛІДКИ ВЖИВАННЯ ДЛЯ ЗДОРОВ’Я УЧНІВСЬКОЇ ТА СТУДЕНТСЬКОЇ МОЛОДІ
Authors: Товкун Лідія
Published: January 2023

У статті зазначено, що нині у багатьох прогресивних країнах світу мода на класичне тютюнокуріння відходить. Водночас у тренді стали альтернативні способи вживання нікотину. Одним із яких є снюс – це жувальний тютюн, який є небезпечним для здоров’я і життя людини.
Мета дослідження: на основі доступних джерел і наукової літератури охарактеризувати причини, що сприяють розвитку шкідливої звички вживання снюсу серед учнівської та студентської молоді в Україні; здійснити аналіз можливих ризиків для здоров’я людини внаслідок вживання снюсу; експериментальним шляхом з’ясувати рівень поінформованості студентської молоді щодо негативного впливу снюсу на організм людини і виявити реальний стан вживання снюсу студентською молоддю.
За допомогою аналізу наукової літератури встановлено, що найбільш уразливою частиною соціуму, на жаль, є учнівська і студентська молодь. У цій категорії дуже розповсюджено вживання снюсу, де він рахується не лише безпечним, але й модним. Безпечність снюсу – це дуже небезпечна омана. Для організму, що росте до 25 років, наслідки вживання снюсу дуже небезпечні: зупинка росту, підвищена агресивність і збудження, погіршення когнітивних процесів, порушення пам’яті і концентрації уваги, високий ризик онкологічних захворювань (рак ротової порожнини, підшлункової залози, стравоходу, печінки і легень), ослаблення стійкості до інфекційних захворюванням. Всі, хто вперше вживали тютюн у вигляді снюсу, впродовж найближчих чотирьох років стають активними курцями цигарок. Снюс не допомагає кинути палити, оскільки цей тютюн містить той же самий наркотик, що і цигарки – нікотин. Для того щоб завжди бути у формі, варто виключити стимулювання організму за допомогою нікотину чи інших активних речовин, а потрібно вести здоровий спосіб життя.
Отримані результати анонімного анкетування вказують на те, що досліджувані студенти достатньо поінформовані щодо негативного впливу снюсу на організм людини. Більшість старшокурсників негативно ставляться до його вживання, а також підтримують заборону вживання снюсу Законом України. Проте, не може не турбувати те, що вживання снюсу найбільше поширено серед студентів першого курсу. У зв’язку з цим необхідно посилити інформаційну роботу серед першокурсників щодо розвінчання хибних відомостей стосовно безпечності вживання снюсу. Є потреба у збільшенні профілактичних заходів не лише зі здобувачами вищої освіти, а й із учнями середніх і старших класів закладів загальної середньої освіти.
The Role of Parents in Family Education on Surah At-Tahrim (Study of Interpretation Maudhū'ī li Sūrah Wāhidah)
Authors: Syahbudin Akhmad , Basir Abd. , Karim Abdullah , Barni Mahyuddin
Published: January 2023

The role of parents in the process of family education is a necessity that cannot be avoided because of the critical role of the Family as the environment of origin and the first environment for humans. The existence of the Family is significant in supporting the achievement of educational goals. Various facts and realities on the ground show that the role of the Family today has not shown its maximum effort as the primary educational institution, resulting in the practice of violence in the Family, contrary to fundamental principles in the educational process. This paper intends to explore the critical role of parents in family education in every educational process based on the viewpoint of the Qur'an in surah at-tahrim (study of the interpretation of maudhu'i li sura wahidah). This exploration is intended to obtain the fundamental essence of the role of parents in the family education process so that it can provide a new perspective in perceiving the Family as an essential part of the humanization process.
Features of simulation of information and measurement systems character-istics of microsystem technology devices
Authors: Tychkov Dmytro Volodymyrovych , Basarab Olha Stanislavivna
Published: January 2023

The necessity of simulation modeling of information and measurement systems of physical characteristics of microsystem technology devices is proven and the features of such modeling are shown. It is shown that the application of mathematical modeling methods for microsystem technology devices is not correct due to the inconsistency of classical physical laws for micro- and nano-sized objects. At the same time, it was established that the use of simulation models and modern computer tools, which can qualitatively implement these methods, allows for high-quality modeling of microsystem technology devices at a qualitatively new level in real time. It was found that the advantages of such simulation models (implemented on the basis of the MatLab Simulink mathematical processor) are the possibility of taking into account processes and phenomena that take place at the micrometric level (microcapillary phenomena, surface microcurrent and tribocharge, exodiffusion of electrons from the surface, intermolecular interaction, etc.). In the course of the simulation, simulation models of information and measurement systems of various physical characteristics (surface charge, capillary and intermolecular interaction, temperature gradient) that can occur on stationary and dynamic surfaces of microsystem components of devices were built and investigated. The verification of the obtained simulation results showed their high convergence with the experimental results (the discrepancy between the simulation results and the experimentally obtained data did not exceed 8.5%), as well as accuracy (the relative error in determining such characteristics was 4.5-11.2%) and reliability (probability of obtaining adequate results, not less than 0.996) of the obtained model. The authors suggested using the results obtained as a result of simulation modeling in the design of information and measurement systems of physical characteristics of microsystem technology devices for various purposes.
Making America Great Again in Christian Schools
Authors: Pogue Neall
Published: January 2023

This article explores the historical narrative developed by the two most popular Christian school publishers (A Beka Book and Bob Jones University Press) at their founding in the mid-1970s. Specifically, they promoted the idea that it was exclusively white Anglo-American men who heroically created the United States by separating order from chaos. The publishers utilized this story to direct the home and Christian school pupil to save and protect what their ancestors created. The importance of such messages gave meaning and ideology to white conservative evangelicals who have come to think of themselves as “real Americans” fighting the ongoing culture wars.
Adoption of accounting mobile apps in Kenya: The effect of user reviews and user ratings
Authors: Kamau Charles Guandaru , Asser Juliana Hawario , Ibua Mary Penina , Otiende Isaac Ojung'a
Published: January 2023

Modern industry improves anthropogenic activities and greatly simplifies human effort and the industrial world. Cloud computing and mobile applications are more than just buzzwords; they are crucial elements of how business is conducted and how it will be conducted in the future. A rising number of SMEs are currently utilizing mobile and cloud computing technology. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the linkages between user reviews and ratings and the adoption of mobile accounting apps among SMEs in Kenya. The study collected data on 35 commonly used mobile accounting applications and performed a regression analysis on 27 apps that had received user reviews. Data on mobile apps' usage rate, volume of user reviews, and user ratings were gathered for this study. The authors also took note of the deficiencies identified by the selected mobile app reviewers. This study's findings revealed a significant relationship between the number of user evaluations and the adoption of mobile accounting apps. However, a significant effect of user reviews on the adoption of mobile accounting apps was not observed. This paper also identifies shortcomings that app users have pointed out in their reviews. It was concluded that Kenya's degree of mobile app adoption has greatly increased due to the volume of app reviews. This study advises entrepreneurs, particularly those who engage with SMEs, to embrace technology and adopt freely downloadable mobile apps for their accounting and bookkeeping requirements.

Towards New Understanding of International Relations Asymmetry: Features of the 20th and 21st Centuries
Authors: Fisanov Volodymyr
Published: January 2023

The author, using the latest methodological approaches, analyzed important aspects of asymmetry in international relations. The levels of asym-metric interaction and repulsion in interstate relations in historical retrospect, and in the current situation in particular along the lines of the still asymmetric relations between the People’s Republic of China and the United States, have been studied, while realistically taking into account the asymmetry in many dimensions of the Russian-Ukrainian war and its influence in the transformed system of global and regional security It is emphasized that the beginning of the asymmetric Russian-Ukrainian war became a bifurcation point for the European Union in a fundamental revision of its own foreign policy strategy in the conditions of a tectonic geostrategic break. There was a problem of rethinking, in particular, the geo-economic role of the EU in new global, but still prone to fragmentation world.
Legal and Conceptual Foundations of the Decentralization Process in Ukraine (2014-2020)
Authors: Kruglashov Anatoliy , Bureha Vasyl
Published: January 2023

The goal of the article is to research on the legal and conceptual framework of decentralization processes in Ukraine. A set of reforms aimed at decentralizing the power in Ukraine began to be implemented since 2014. This is not the first attempt of changing the system of Public administration in favour of strengthening up local Self-governments, but the last one is the most successful. The effectiveness of the reforms depends primarily on the preparation of a solid legal and theoretical foundation on which the decentralization has been grounded. This article considers the legal and conceptual principles of decentralization processes in Ukraine in 2014-2020 and their meaning for Ukraine’s state prospect and resilience.
The authors analysed in details the legal and conceptual framework, which identified the main features of a set of reforms launched to decentralize power and ensure their duly implementation. It is proved that this topic does not lose its relevance despite significant progress in the implementation of reforms under circumstances of Russian-Ukrainian war as far as the regulatory framework for decentralization still has to be finalized and adjusted. So over time there remains an urgent need for a more complete and systematic study of those reforms, and their further perspective.
To deploy decentralization reforms, some laws were adopted and existing regulations were amended to enable decentralization in practice (amendments to the Budget and Customs Codes, adoption of a Law on voluntary amalgamation of local communities etc.). Also, the reforms were supported by a theoretical basis, first of all by the concept on reforming local self-government and territorial organization of power in Ukraine, elaborated methodology of making self-sustainable territorial communities, grounded on the principals of the European Charter of Local Self-Government.

Published: January 2023

In some cases, Statistical learning only applies some formulas without paying attention to developing students’ reasoning ability. So, statistical learning can cause missed conception to the students. A teacher should identify the students’ learning obstacles to achieve the learning objectives.  This study aims to know the students’ learning obstacles in solving statistical reasoning problems from two aspects. The first is from the emic aspect; it is a student's viewpoint toward solving the statistical problem. The second is from the aspect of ethics; it is a student viewpoint toward the teacher’s teaching technique done in teaching statistics.  This qualitative study employs the explorative case study with epistemology study to discuss the students’ learning obstacles. From the test result and interview of three participants, it is concluded that the students face some obstacles in statistical reasoning problem-solving. The teacher also still used conventional methods in teaching the students.

Published: January 2023

Sustainable construction became an integral part of reducing the impact on social, economic and environmental aspects in developed and developing countries. To achieve sustainability in construction, selection of material plays an important role. In the present work, a comprehensive review of sustainable indicators and criteria for evaluating construction material is carried out considering Environment, Social, Economic and Technological criteria. These criteria and indicators are then utilized to develop a framework for selecting the best sustainable material among given alternatives. In the present study, the sustainable performance of a material is assessed keeping in view the material life cycle i.e. Pre-Construction phase, Construction phase and Post Construction phase with respect to sustainable criteria and indicators. A decision-making framework is formulated to rank the sustainable materials among available alternatives by using Ana- lytic Hierarchy Process. The developed framework is demonstrated through a case study to select the best sustainable alternative among available cementitious material for binder replacement in concrete to obtain a Material Sustainable Performance Score is obtained. The alternative with the highest SMS is ranked as best sustainable material among given alternatives. The developed framework facilitates the designer in selecting an optimum sustainable material depending on criteria preference.

Published: January 2023

The effect of fly ash, rice husk ash, metakaolin, ultra-fine slag on the packing density of ternary mix was studied in this paper, using Puntke’s method of particle packing. The addition of these mineral additives, whose particle size is lower than that of the Ordinary Portland Cement, improves the packing density of cement, by filling the voids between the cement grains, which results in increased compressive strength of concrete. The main aim of this research was to increase the packing density by replacement of cement with fine materials. Cement replacement was carried out from 10% to 40% in steps of 5%. Many combinations were tested and results showed that a maximum packing density of 0.586 was achieved at 75% cement content along with fl y ash and ultra-fine slag, without addition of the superplasticizer. Addition of superplasticizer further increased the packing at lower water to binder ratio.

Reasonable and standardized use of local and waste resources is of great importance for the economic development in the world. The utilization of waste materials can result in enhanced properties and eco-friendly concrete, at the same time. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of olive waste ash on the mechanical and fracture properties of self-compacting concrete. For this purpose, self-compacting concrete mixes were prepared by the utilization of olive waste ash, in three different proportions and with two different dosages of superplasticizer. Alongside compressive and tensile strengths analysis, a series of three-point bending tests on notched beams were conducted for all mixes. Moreover, initial defects of all self-compacting mixes were evaluated by using the X-ray computed tomography method. Findings showed that using olive waste ash in self-compacting concrete mainly affects the tensile strength and fracture energy for the two different contents of superplasticizer.

This study is concerned with the method of cast earth as part of an investigation series on earth construction. The effect of two clay swelling inhibitors; polyethylene glycol [PEG] and of carboxymethyl cellulose [CMC] on the swelling of a clay-bearing soil are studied to enable the stabilization of the soil with CEM I 42.5 N. The soil composed of 14% clay, quartz, and calcite, is stabilized with 10% cement. 3% polycarboxylate superplasticizer is added relative to the mass of the cement, to gain the soil pourable properties. The results show that the PEG and CMC clay-swelling inhibitors reduce the expansion of the soil by ~30 and ~40% and lead to a maximum increase of 24 and 46% in the 90-day compressive strength respectively. The interactions between clay, cement, and swelling inhibitors are discussed. The findings allow advantageous applications for producing building units for construction purposes in desert areas.
Mechanical properties of engineered cementitious composites developed with silica fume
Authors: Arivusudar N. , Suresh Babu S.
Published: January 2023

Engineered Cementitious Composites are generally the ultra-high—performance fiber-reinforced composites, which have very good mechanical properties. Engineered Cementitious Composites are similar to normal conventional concrete with cement, fi ne sand, fly ash, but without coarse aggregate. Engineered Cementitious Composites have a high content of cement, which is causing this material to be far from the sustainability. The mechanical and durability properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites can be improved by the addition of fly ash. The properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites can be also improved by the partial replacement of cement by fly ash, up to 40%. In this study, an attempt is made to straighten the Engineered Cementitious Composites by the addition of silica fume, leaving the content of fly ash without changes. Eight different mix proportions are used in this investigation, which includes one conventional mix and mixes with the addition of 10% to 70% of silica fume with the distance of 10%. The addition of silica fume to Engineered Cementitious Composites is causing the remarkable improvement of the mechanical properties of these mixes.
