Construction Brick Production Industry in Southern Thailand: a Case Study of Kiln
Authors: Prommuang Phawat , Seviset Somchai , Egwutvongsa Songwut
Published: August 2024

Purpose:  To study the kiln that affect the construction brick production industry and to provide guidelines for solving problems.
 
Method: This is qualitative research collecting data from 17 Kiln brick production industry Owners with in-depth interview. Data is analyzed by content and thematic analysis.
 
Results and Conclusion: (1) Physical characteristics of the furnace square brick kiln model. The structure of this kiln is made of cooked bricks into a rectangular permanent wall. There is a firewood compartment and a brick entry door on the side. Production capacity is 50,000-100,000 bricks/stove. Specific energy was 1.6-3.8 MJ/kg of brick, some stoves use 7.8 MJ/kg brick. (2) Burning temperature. Brick firing in Thailand usually ends at 900 degrees Celsius, with brick heating, brick drying, brick kilning, and temperature reduction. which uses a fairly high temperature for burning. (3) The burning time is approximately 7 days, which corresponds to the temperature of the firing side by heating the bricks, baking the bricks, burning the bricks, and reducing the temperature. By using firewood as a leaven. Therefore, there is a lack of technology development in brick production and efficient brick firing with a long firing period. (4) Heat energy loss. Brick firing in Thailand usually ends at a temperature of 900 degrees Celsius and is then turned off for a few days. To reduce cracking due to sudden temperature changes, then turn on the kiln to let the bricks cool naturally allowing the bricks to cool naturally. The heat energy stored is left and that is a loss of heat energy.
 
Research Implications: Brick burning uses a lot of energy, firewood as fuel, and the efficiency of the kilns used is quite low. It is likely that the efficiency of brick kilns will be improved or brick kilns with high thermal efficiency to be used as a replacement to achieve high efficiency. This allows the brick production industry to continue to exist.
 
Originality/Value: The improvement of fuel using for Kiln in brick burning can be improved for more effectiveness and clean environment.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Investigate understanding the impact of the active Problem Based Learning (PBL) methodology on the knowledge consolidated during medical graduation and the challenge of social management.
 
Theoretical Framework: Social management is a process that is taken to a specific community and is based on collective, continuous and open learning for the design and execution of projects that respond to the needs and problems of a specific focus. In this context, we involve the learning process as a dynamic process that suffers from interference from all of an individual's biopsychosocial components. Understanding that different teaching techniques generate different results in content retention and learning itself is essential for new methodologies and technologies to be developed in order to facilitate this process. In this sense, the problem-based method or PBL consists of a teaching model centered on the student and their knowledge and the teacher in the figure of a tutor, who guides the student on the learning journey, and is shown to be an innovative method, modifying relationships between learning agents and knowledge itself, especially in the academic environment.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises a bibliographical review of the literature. Data collection was carried out through articles published on the PubMed and SciELO platforms, totaling 13 articles that met the inclusion criteria.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that PBL promotes a significant improvement in students' critical thinking capacity, and the implementation of PBL in teaching environments was associated with significant learning and the development of essential skills for academic development and professional practice. In general, the articles analyzed show that choosing PBL as a teaching method in different educational contexts not only improves academic performance, but also develops crucial skills for professional practice, preparing students to face complex challenges and improve their capabilities at the same time. throughout their careers.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by addressing the use of PBL as a dynamic and effective teaching method, compared to traditional teaching and social management.  The relevance and value of this research are based on the extent to which it addresses a learning model that can provide essential skills for training in the health field.

Authors: Widodol Budiman , Winarti  , Sugiyanto  , Prastiantono Gregorius Adi , Sukorina Diana
Published: August 2024

Objective: This research aims to analyze the direction of farming policy toward food resilience through subsidy program and maintaining the existence of farmers.
 
Theoretical Framework: As an agrarian state, Indonesia has majority populations living in rural areas with farming being livelihood and rice being main food staple. Therefore, the availability of food material is a very crucial problem.
 
Method: The research methods used was survey on dry-land farmers, secondary data, and documentation of newspaper clipping.
 
Result: The result shows: 1) the farming policy is inhibited by the ever reduced land, 2) subsidy granting has not solved the farmers’ problem yet, the difficulty of finding fertilizer during harvest season and lowered prices during harvest season, and 3) the governmental policy through importing rice does not solve the root of problem in achieving food resilience by making the farmers not prosperous. 
 
Implication of Research: The policy is made by government through improving domestic production and importing rice to secure the rice reserve in Perum BULOG.
 
Conclusion: The problems inhibiting the production of food staple are the reduced farming land, the increased population number, and the natural factor. On the other hand, the price of rice goes down during harvest season and import during low season always occurs repeatedly. A commitment of farming policy direction partial to the farmers is required, from upstream to downstream.

Results and Discussion: The different treatments responded significantly to the variables nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, iron, copper, zinc, crude protein, plant height and diameter.
 
Research Implications: The results indicate that by using the magnetization of water applied in irrigation, it is possible to reduce the amount of water applied without harming nutritional and productive aspects of the crop.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by bringing an innovative and still little studied approach to a technique that can be applied to irrigation. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by addressing the reduction of water resources applied in agriculture.
Factors Influencing City Attractiveness of Constantine
Authors: Tahar Kihal Mohamed , Souad Sassi Boudemagh
Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this research was to elucidate the various urban factors within the city of Constantine that contribute to its attractiveness.
 
Theoretical Framework: The purpose of this study is to identify urban factors that influence personal satisfaction and the city's appeal for residents and non- residents of Constantine. By exploring the different dimensions of the city's image, the authors provide an analytical technique for quantifying the competitive structure of Constantine and its ability to attract peoples.
 
Method: The research is structured in the following manner. Initially, we analyze conventional methods used in place marketing to determine perceptions of place and city branding. Next, we emphasize the urban elements that impact both the satisfaction of residents and the overall appeal of the city to both residents and non-residents. To assess the attractiveness of Constantine, we establish an extensive list of city branding factors derived from the influences on city brand perceptions. The third part of the research involves defining and characterizing the sample, questionnaire, and variables. Finally, we evaluate our findings and discuss the practical implications for place marketers.
 
Results and Discussion: The results of this study indicate that Constantine's ability to attract people is primarily influenced by the environment's quality, level of internationalization, and healthcare quality. Factors such as economic development, touristic capacity, and cultural quality do not significantly contribute to its attractiveness. Moreover, city representation, communication, education quality, safety level, and social services quality have a non-significant negative impact on the city's ability to attract people.
 
Research Implications: The aim of this study is to explore the various aspects that influence metropolitan complacency as they affect the city’s ability to attract peoples such as young entrepreneurs, international business people, highly qualified individuals and tourists. In this way, our study aims to bring some practical implications for local and global location marketing and management.
 
Originality/Value: This study focuses on the Constantine metropolitan area, firstly because no studies have been published so far examining the region in this context, and secondly why Constantine a priority for the Algerian government to promote its economic, cultural and tourism development.

Authors: Maya-Restrepo María Alejandra , Pérez-Rave Jorge Iván , González-Echavarría Favián
Published: August 2024

Aunque el concepto de las Capacidades de Analítica del Cliente (CAC) ha venido despertando interés entre académicos y empresarios, aún falta de consenso sobre su conceptualización y manifestaciones observables. Para aportar al tema, este estudio desarrolla una revisión sistemática de literatura sobre las CAC, siguiendo las etapas localizar (42 estudios resultantes), describir (síntesis de definiciones y usos de la analítica en dominios afines al cliente, entre otros), profundizar (identificación e interpretación de patrones comunes en los estudios), y divulgar (elaboración del reporte). Se descubren varias formas de concebir la analítica en contextos del cliente en las organizaciones y se analiza tal diversidad con base en un modelo conceptual de referencia, el cual sintetiza concepciones (acción/método, proceso complejo o recurso estratégico) y roles al respecto (desarrollo de capacidades operacionales, capacidades dinámicas o ajuste de la estrategia). Además, se identifican manifestaciones empíricas que obedecen a las distintas formas de concebirla (ej., determinar la efectividad de campañas específicas a partir de datos). A partir de la combinación de concepciones y roles se generan nueve perfiles empresariales que resumen grados de madurez subyacentes en las CAC. Este estudio clarifica las CAC y sus manifestaciones observables, a partir de evidencia proveniente de la consolidación, homologación y síntesis de literatura científica relevante sobre el tema. Por tanto, resulta útil para dirigentes de áreas de analítica en contextos del cliente, así como para investigadores que deseen tener una base teórica integral para desarrollar futuras escalas de medida.
THE CURRENT STATE OF TRAINING OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS FOR SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL WORK WITH PEOPLE OF THE THIRD AGE IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS OF UKRAINE AND THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES
Authors: LESKIV-BONDARCHUK Hanna
Published: August 2024

The article deals with some aspects of training future specialists for sports and recreational work with people of the third age. The Ukrainian socio-economic location dictates new requirements for training. It is necessary to expand the possibilities of choosing the directions of the curriculum of the educational process, which allows students to increase the level of self-education. Today, there is an increase in the level of professional and social prestige of sports education, improvement of material resources, increased funding, and the growing role of interregional institutions. The system of sports education should develop dynamically, using the achievements of science, the latest educational technologies and best practices. The main strategic course of higher education should be aimed at improving the level of professional skills, qualifications, and ethics.
The article examines the current state of training future specialists for sports and recreational work with people of the third age at European universities (on the example of Norway, Sweden, Poland), the main types of universities that train students in European countries, the management system of European universities, and the peculiarities of organizing the educational process. The education system of each European country has centuries of experience, its own traditions in the field of education and is characterized by a number of national peculiarities. Differences are manifested in the structural organization of the learning process, in the content of education, in the methods and forms of organizing the learning process, as well as at the level of governance. The trend of the modern system of student training in higher education institutions in Europe is the priority of state classical and pedagogical universities.
CASE MANAGEMENT IN WORK WITH INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS: EXPERIENCE OF COMMUNAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS OF UKRAINE
Authors: SLOZANSKA Hanna , SHULGA Julia
Published: August 2024

With the beginning of the russian-Ukrainian war (2014), a significant part of the population from the zone of active hostilities left their homes in search of a calmer place for temporary residence. Most of them remained on the territory of Ukraine and obtained the status of an internally displaced person (IDP). A significant part crossed the borders of neighboring states in the status of “refugee”. Both, the first and the second, need support and help in places of temporary residence. In Ukraine, this category of population is provided with various types of payments and social services, depending on their needs. If the mechanism of social payments has already been worked out, then the mechanism of social services providing is only in the process of implementation. In Ukraine communal institutions and non-governmental organizations are providers of social services. These are mainly Social Service Centers/Centers for the social services provision or charitable foundations operating in territorial communities, which are places of temporary residence of internally displaced persons.
In the context of the research, the algorithm of social services providing to internally displaced persons in territorial communities - places of temporary residence - in the context of case management/case management in communal and non-state owned organizations was studied. A qualitative study was conducted, due to which employees of organizations and internally displaced persons themselves were involved in order to study the specified issue. The interview was the main tool for data collection. 12 social workers/case managers of communal institutions of three regions and the Charitable Foundation “Caritas” and 6 internally displaced persons who are clients of these institutions were interviewed. It was found out that both communal institutions and non-governmental ones use the case management algorithm in working with a certain category of clients, which is called case management in the work of Caritas employees. Social workers of communal institutions strictly follow the stages of case management defined by the Law of Ukraine “On Social Services”, avoiding any emotional contact with IDPs. This model of work is close to the clinical model of case management. “Caritas” employees focus more on psycho-emotional support in their work with IDPs in the case management process, which is closer in type to the brokerage model. Caritas employees are more motivated to work. They also have a greater resource in planning assistance to IDPs.
Based on the results of the analysis of the received data, recommendations were formulated to improve the work of social workers
Streamwise-Elongated Sinusoidal Roughness Elements with Enhanced Laminarizing Effect on Three-Dimensional Boundary Layer
Authors: Hirota Makoto , Ide Yuki , Hattori Yuji
Published: August 2024

As a laminar flow control device for delaying the crossflow-induced transition of a three-dimensional boundary layer, sinusoidal roughness elements (SREs) are placed in a Falkner–Skan–Cooke boundary layer, and the resultant laminarizing effect is numerically investigated in comparison with discrete roughness elements (DREs). Because SREs are elongated in the streamwise direction and designed to avoid flow tripping, the critical height of SREs is much higher than that of DREs. Moreover, the wake flow behind SREs efficiently generates and sustains crossflow vortices that are not dangerously unstable against secondary instabilities but able to strongly distort the mean crossflow profile into a less unstable one. By measuring this mean flow distortion by SREs and DREs, the laminarizing effect is compared among them. It is shown that the effect of SREs is higher than that of DREs and can be enhanced by choosing the appropriate height, angle, and wavelength depending on the local boundary-layer profile.
Simulation of Hypersonic Shock-Boundary Layer Interaction Using Shock-Strength Dependent Turbulence Model
Authors: Rathi Harsha , Sinha Krishnendu
Published: August 2024

Shock-induced flow separation is important in hypersonic intake unstart and for unsteady aero-thermal loads. This work presents a computational study of shock-boundary layer interaction (SBLI) at hypersonic Mach numbers. The objective is to accurately predict the separation bubble size for oblique shock impingement on a turbulent boundary layer and for two-dimensional axisymmetric cone-flare SBLI cases. We use the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes method with an advanced shock-strength-dependent turbulence model. A recently developed transport equation-based shock sensor is employed to identify the location and strength of shock waves. The computational results are found to match experimental measurements of surface pressure and skin-friction coefficient for a series of test cases, highlighting the effects of Mach number, shock generator angle, and wall cooling on the size of the separation bubble. Results are also found to conform to the scaling of SBLI separation size found in the literature. This is one of the few such corroborations for hypersonic axisymmetric SBLI.
Market or State? Post-Reform Distribution of Sociology Faculty at Chinese Universities
Authors: Bu Qingyu , Hang Mengzhu , Xing Danxia , Leicht Kevin , Zhang Liyuan , Lu Qianyi
Published: August 2024

Neoliberal policies since 1978 have caused severe regional inequality in China. Cities in regions with high levels of marketisation attract top academic experts due to their proximity to economic incentives and prestigious universities. However, little is known about how economic reform has shaped the distribution of experts in the social science and humanities disciplines as they are less in demand on the market and often rely on support from the state. Using sociology as a unique case, this study investigates market and state influences on the regional distribution of sociology experts in Chinese universities based on city-level measurements. Sociology has a unique historical and paradigmatic connection with the state of China, which complicates any straightforward relationship between neoliberal policies and higher education inequality in sociology departments. Through a manual collection of 1,041 faculty profiles from 66 university websites, it was determined following the fractional logistic regression method that both the market and the state facilitate distribution. The city’s marketisation increases the internationalisation of faculty members in sociology departments, while the city’s position in the state’s administrative hierarchy maintains the sociology departments, regardless of the city’s marketisation. In general, the state still plays an important role in shaping academic expert distribution after 40 years of market reform in China.
Social Inclusivity, Integration and the Fourth Industrial Revolution in South African Universities: Evidence from Vaal University of Technology
Authors: Munyanyi Watson , Mothibi Gloria
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The swift strides of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) and its entrenched emerging technologies are expected to increase significantly, leading to significant technological transformation and socio-economic change. The emerging 4IR technologies could bring substantial economic growth and welfare benefits in sub-Saharan Africa and social and economic disruption. There are emerging concerns that the rising pace of 4IR could widen inequality if counterbalancing policies are not adopted. This implies that coping with the 4IR transformation may require a holistic approach encompassing sustainable social solutions and not just technological ones. To meet and extend their understanding of the curriculum's objectives and improve their overall comprehension, students need to be able to use various digital tools. This study examines the role of the adoption of 4IR technologies in fostering social inclusivity and integration in the South African context.

Methodology: Drawing from the technological integration models, the current study argues that 4IR plays a crucial role in transforming the inclusivity and integration of learners, such as those living with disabilities and those from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. Technology integration models are theoretically constructed models that are meant to assist educators in planning technology integration more profoundly. Research was conducted on 203 students from different faculties selected using simple random sampling. Data was collected using an online questionnaire powered by Google Forms and analysed through structural equation modelling in SmartPLS 4.

Results: An evaluation of the results obtained in this study reveals a positive contribution of 4IR towards the general concept of inclusion as defined by the extent of accommodating different disabilities and backgrounds in social activities. The analysis also demonstrated the importance of 4IR in integrating learners in mainstream classrooms and significant strides in eliminating special needs classes.

Conclusion/- and Recommendations: The paper concludes with recommendations for developing 4IR adoption strategies by universities in South Africa to bring about attitudinal change and formulate genuinely inclusive and integrated practices.
African Accounts of Religious Conversations and Interventions in Mental Healthcare
Authors: Orogun Daniel
Published: August 2024

The importance of healthcare has attracted conversations from healthcare professionals, as well as other groups like the United Nations, academic institutions, governments, the private sector, and religious organisations, all contributing to healthcare conversations because healthcare is foundational to human survival. However, there are questions on the quality and gaps of conversations and interventions regarding mental health among religious groups. This is because the quality of healthcare delivery may be rooted in the quality of conversations and interventions. This study explores the quality of mental healthcare (MHC) conversations and interventions in Traditional Religions, Christianity, and Islam in Africa. It interrogates past and recent conversations and interventions within the frameworks of spiritual care (SC) as a form of compassion science, interreligious collaborations, spiritual healings, and allopathic collaborations. Lastly, it places a searchlight on the loopholes of spiritual care in MHC and recommends closure where possible in the pursuit of improved healthcare and well-being in Africa.
Interpreting History. Unlocking Various Phases of History in the Story of the Upington Uniting Reformed Church over its first Hundred Years of Existence (1875–1975)
Authors: Van Rooi Leslie
Published: August 2024

The Upington congregation of the Uniting Reformed Church in South Africa (URCSA), established in 1875, is one of two URCSA congregations in Upington in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. The congregation has a long, interesting history entrenched in the sociopolitical realities of the “Coloured” people of the Orange River Valley in and around Upington. This article explores the history of this congregation, its origins as a mission station on the other side of the Orange River, and the complexities and perceived cultural boundaries linked to its establishment and development. Furthermore, there is the story behind the significant church schism of 1902. The article also focuses on the interesting, complex link between the former Dutch Reform Mission Church (DRMC) Upington congregation and the Dutch Reform Church (DRC) Upington over certain periods—a relationship of many phases. This is an attempt to discover new elements and perspectives on the history of the URCSA Upington, adding to current engagements and evaluations of congregational histories in eras before the so-called postcolonial era. Church and congregational records (including celebratory publications), theses linked to the establishment of churches in the 1800s in the Orange River Valley, and historical documents of the former DRMC form the basis of this study (source analysis).
