Self-published
Authors: Tatarinova Larуsa
Published: February 2022

Continuing to consider the trends of the world book publishing, it is impossible not to dwell on the self-publishing, which has been gaining momentum in the world since the beginning of the century.
Back in 2008, samizdat was equal to the number of titles published with books published by traditional publishers. In 2018, 1 million book titles were self-published in the US. China has crossed the million mark long ago. Statistics from China and Japan coming to the International Publishers Association also include self-published books, so the number of titles published in China is a staggering 65 007 519 and Japan's 2 017 808, including those published by traditional publishers in China — 203 000, and in Japan — 76 581 [1].
In our study, we sought to identify causes and identify trends in the emergence, growth, and spread of self-publishing in European countries and the United States. How self-publishing allows authors of publications to bypass publishers and bookstores and sell books directly to a potential reader.
The impact of self-publishing on the publishing industry as a whole has been established: reducing the cost of printing, storing and distributing books.
It has been proven that the impetus for self-publishing publications has been the development of technology, the improvement of e-book and tablet readers that have improved readability; provided free access to view and purchase the book. The article explores the advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing a book; the role of publishing platforms that allow the author to publish the book independently; the author's image risks are analyzed when publishing a book with self-view; attention is paid to the concept of graphic arts; the difference between graphomaniac and true self-expression is determined. Literary genres preferred by authors who decide to publish a book by themselves are considered. Self-published books are generally not eligible for prizes for literary or artistic achievement. The article gives examples of the first literary awards for self-published authors.
Reflections on the Suitability and Unsuitability of English as a Foreign Langauge Teaching and Learning Styles in Benin
Authors: Mathias Hounnou Azoua
Published: February 2022

For a successful teaching-learning process, both teachers and learners should agree about the styles to use. The present research work aimed at investigating suitability and unsuitability of EFL teaching-learning styles in public secondary schools in Parakou municipality (Benin). Three hundred and fifty (350) EFL learners and thirty five (35) EFL teachers were randomly selected for the study. Questionnaires and interviews had been the major instruments for data collection. Statistical analysis carried out with R 4.0.2 revealed significant mismatch between the two styles. It was noted that most of learners are likely to prefer to learn English language with the help of visual and kinesthetic materials than auditory. Teachers strongly favored kinesthetic teaching style (14.9), visual style (13.6) and disfavored auditory teaching style (12.9). The majority of them have two teaching styles (70%). Meanwhile, it was shown that such unsuitability has important negative impacts on students such as stress, unhappiness, boredom and makes teaching-learning failed.
A Comparative Analysis of have a look at and take a look at in Four Corpora
Authors: Kang Namkil
Published: February 2022

The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of have a look at and take a look at in four corpora. A major point to note is that take a look at is preferred over have a look at in the TV Corpus from the 1950s to the 2010s. A further point to note is two types reached a peak in the 2010s, which in turn implies that they are the most preferred ones in the 2010s. With respect to the Movie Corpus, it is worth noting that take a look at is favored over have a look at in the Movie Corpus from the 1930s to the 2010s. It is noteworthy, on the other hand, have a look at reached a peak (346 tokens) in the 2000s, whereas take a look at reached a peak (1,310 tokens) in the 2010s. This in turn implies that two types were the most preferred ones in in those periods. The COCA clearly shows that have a look at http is the most preferred one in America, whereas take a look at it is the most preferred one. The COCA also shows that 8.88% of forty five nouns are the collocations of both have a look at and take a look at. The BNC clearly indicates that have a look at number and take a look at trends are the most preferable ones among the British. With respect to the BNC, it is interesting to point out that only 3.7% of twenty seven nouns are the collocation of have a look at and take a look at.

Compulsoriedade da vacinação infantil para COVID-19
Authors: Moraes Aboin Menequelli Ana Carolina , Rodrigues Selhorst Ana Paula
Published: February 2022

A Lei n. 13.979/2020 previu a vacinação compulsória para fins de combate à pandemia do coronavírus, tendo sido decidido pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal que vacinação compulsória é distinto de vacinação forçada, devendo ser obtido o consentimento e permitida a sua recusa, podendo ser adotadas, contudo, medidas indiretas. O Plano Nacional de Operacionalização da vacinação contra a Covid-19 incluiu a vacinação de crianças a partir dos 12 anos, após aprovação da vacina da Pfizer pela Anvisa. Há, contudo, um embate: quais são os entraves ético-jurídicos colocados frente à compulsoriedade da vacinação infantil? O presente estudo discute dois desses entraves: o processo de consentimento informado versus a compulsoriedade da vacinação, e a ausência de uma política nacional de reparação por efeitos adversos. Conclui-se que o programa de vacinação infantil contra Covid-19 deve garantir segurança necessária à saúde individual, atendendo ao interesse público e da saúde coletiva sem desamparar direitos individuais fundamentais.

Authors: Julie Anne R BACAYO , Esteven G EVIO , David Manfred S PELAYO , Michael Sean P Deang , Terence P Tumolva
Published: February 2022

The dissolution-precipitation method has been identified as a potentially viable solution to plastic waste recycling in the Philippines. In this study, the effect of solvent temperature and composition on the dissolution kinetics of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in D-limonene/xylene were determined. Dissolution temperature was varied within 100°-120°C with solvent composition of 0-100 wt% D-limonene for both 2-layer and 3-layer laminates of LDPE and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The data were fitted to the Korsmeyer-Peppas model and the kinetic parameters were determined. Based on the experimental data, it was observed that there is no definitive relation between the dissolution rate and temperature for all solvent composition except at pure xylene, where the behavior at 110°C and 120°C appeared to be identical. It was also observed that introducing even a small amount of D-limonene to the solvent solution significantly increases the rate of dissolution, with a 1:3 limonene-to-xylene ratio having a K value that is 0.075 higher than that of pure xylene. Dissolution in D-limonene was observed to best fit the Fickian model, while that in xylene generally followed the non-Fickian model. Lastly, the 2-layer laminates showed to follow anomalous transport, wherein solvent diffusion and disentanglement of chains have comparable rates.
A Balanced Model of Sustainable Development
Authors: Dalal Dr. Suman , Kaur Saini Satvinder
Published: February 2022

Through this paper, we are going to propose ‘SUSTAINED METHOD’ for the solution of environmental issues and problems. This method has two pillars: First one is Economic Development and another one is Social Development (Tangible and Intangible Needs of Human Beings), essentially include the development of both the elements in an equivalent manner. Here the demanding theory is of “Maslow’s Need Hierarchy” which contains a set of Tangible needs like food, shelter, clothing’s etc.at the grass root level of hierarchy (closer to animals) and a set of Intangible needs like self-esteem, belongingness, love etc. at the top. In a society charged with more Economic Development, which has feature of ‘economic growth’ like accumulating wealth more than basic needs, adoption of illegal means is controlled by Social Values of an individual. Here the operating question is ‘why does an individual withhold wealth after the fulfilment of his basic needs? Keeping in view, we need to draw the Total Development Process as a system, in which both the elements of ‘Sustainability’ will work in an integrated manner. Because the Economic Development (Economic Behavior) of peoples makes them habitual of capturing economic power, this is the point of misbalancing which need to be correct as it creates lots of serious problems with many faces like poverty, hinder redistribution of wealth, wastage of environmental property, non-realization of their social duties towards nature, lack of Social Development. So, we must need to establish a balancing approach between the two i.e., Tangible (Economic Development) and Intangible need (Social Development). This will result in ‘Balanced Sustainable Development Model’.

This research paper includes a 6 months environmental study of impact assessment of solid waste on Groundwater and Soil in and around of dumping site at Kasba Bawada, Kolhapur that includes a detailed study of the groundwater and soil characteristics. The dumping and open burning practices will led to the percolation of waste into the soil and groundwater which will eventually lead to various health and environment issues. In order to assess the groundwater and soil quality, assessment was carried out for the Groundwater and Soil near the dumping and landfill site around the 1 km radius in ecosystem is indeed an important resource which has yet to be studied on a bigger scale to meet the ever increasing demand for the water and soil for their use as resources. 6 Groundwater and 5 Soil sampling sites are selected in and around the dumping site. During the project, various physical, organic, inorganic and nutrient parameters were studied and also the detection of the heavy metals was carried out for soil and groundwater analysis. Most of the groundwater parameters are within the limit of BIS and WHO standards of drinking water except Total Solids which is higher in all sites and Nitrate which are higher than the limits in 2 sites when compared with the standards as these sites are near and around the dumping sites. The Nutrient parameters of Soil like Organic Carbon, Organic Matter, Available Phosphorous are present higher than the limit in all the sampling sites. The presence of high organic Carbon and the Organic matter with Available Phosphorous indicates the good fertility of the soil in and around the dumping site. The heavy metals are within the limit in soil when compared with the standards whereas in the groundwater, Lead, Copper, Nickel and Cadmium are present higher than the limit when compared drinking water quality standards established by the BIS and the WHO standards during the post monsoon of 2019 and pre monsoon of 2020 for other parameters.
Effect of natural compounds to inhibit human respiratory syncytial virus
Authors: Mitra Debanjan , Mohapatra Pradeep K.
Published: February 2022

Current COVID-19 effects are forcing us to think about other deadly viral diseases. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of them. Every year thousands of children lost their lives due to respiratory diseases which are occurred by this RSV. Nowadays, bioactive compounds show an enormous effect on many deadly diseases and show excellent therapeutic effects. In this study, we have identified five bioactive compounds from the plant which will be used in the treatment of RSV. Molecular docking on the protein was done by Autodock. Hydrogen was added and routable bonds were fixed in the preparation time of protein for docking. All those compounds show their non-toxic nature which is evaluated by Lipinski's Rule of Five. Molecular docking on RSV matrix protein and surface glycoprotein with those bioactive compounds shows very promising results. Between all those compounds Baicalein appears as a lead compound. It shows -8.1 Kcal/mol in the case of matrix protein and -7.9 kcal/mol in the case of the surface glycoprotein of RSV. Due to its availability and non-toxic nature, it can be used in the treatment of RSV. AS it is derived from plants, it also has very fewer side effects than chemical drugs.

Authors: Pakvilai Nisa , Tuamkartok Sirinert
Published: February 2022

Grease trap waste and water hyacinth is a major problem of sewer clods and impedes water flow, a factor in flooding. Both of which can be proceeded for use as soil amendments. This research had two objectives: 1) to study the appropriate characteristics of the ratio between grease trap waste and water hyacinth for compost production and 2) to study the efficiency of compost from the growth rate of kale. The results of the analysis revealed that moisture, organic carbon, pH, conductivity, C/N ratio, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are conformed to organic fertilizer standards of the Announcement by the Department of Agriculture: Criteria for organic fertilizers 2014, Thailand. Comparison of compost quality from macronutrients revealed that the ratio between grease trap waste and water hyacinth (2:1) was of the highest quality. Comparing the average growth rate of kale by plant height, a number of leaves, leaf width, leaf length, and fresh weight, found that the efficiency of compost containing grease trap waste and water hyacinth (2:1) affected the maximum growth rate of kale. In conclusion, the study found that the utilization of residues can reduce costs for waste management and increase resource renewal, which contributes to sustainability in future.

Published: February 2022

The present research assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practices of diabetic patients concerning the disposal of sharps in community settings and the factors affecting them by using a validated interview questionnaire. A cross-sectional study was done. Three hundred eighty-four patients were selected by systematic random sampling and interviewed to answer the questionnaire at 2 diabetic centers in Alexandria. We found the respondents had fair knowledge (7.17±2.21 out of 10) and a positive attitude (3.682±0.87 out of 5) towards sharps disposal. However, the majority (95.1%) had poor disposal practices. Only (4.9%) of participants had acceptable disposal techniques through health care facilities. Good knowledge scores were related to high educational level, single marital status, living in an urban area, and being employed. Based on both crude and multivariable regression models, the study found that attitude was influenced by occupation status and that the parameters predicting disposal in healthcare settings were receiving advice from healthcare workers (HCW), knowledge score, and using insulin outside the house. In conclusion, most patients had inappropriate sharps disposal practices. Accordingly, the researchers expect a massive public health problem towards diabetic sharp waste discarding which implied the necessity to implement a proper community sharps disposal program in the future.

It is intended to be an optional source of technology that lowers the need for fossil fuels and causes not as much of damage to human, animal, in addition to plant health, as well as to the environment. The use of green technology is intended to diminish waste and pollution. Environmental technologies as well as clean technology are other terms for it. There have been studies on innovation that assumes environmentally friendly properties of materials, systems, and technologies; nevertheless, nothing has been said about the social aspects of sustainability. It is important to remember that sustainability encompasses not just environmental, but in addition financial and societal dimensions, the latter of which has direct repercussions for society’s well-being. Because worldwide concerns of environmental deterioration have compelled our society to take action, efforts aimed at this goal should be based on historical and cultural values, as well as the interaction between humans and nature to rethink development and evolve the concept of long-term sustainability. New ecologically friendly technologies are, without a doubt, critical to achieving long-term development. The purpose of this research is to emphasize the societal characteristics or features that contribute to environmental conservation through green technologies. The study is based on reviewing of secondary data sources like journals, articles, newspapers, social media, books, etc.

Authors: Mariam Paul Nivya , Harikumar Variampally Sankar
Published: February 2022

Biochar is a charcoal like substance produced from organic biomass after pyrolysis. Biochar act as a good soil conditioner by increasing microbial activities, soil nutrition and soil structure. Soil microorganisms are involved in litter decomposition and soil nutrient mineralization which is important in the sustainable development of plants and trees. The functioning of an ecosystem is controlled by biogeochemical cycles driven by microorganisms. The cell membrane of all microorganisms is composed of phospholipids that are easily metabolized after the cell death. Hence, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis of microorganisms can be used for the characterization of living microbial communities. PLFA analysis is a lipid based, culture independent biochemical technique. Therefore, PLFAs can be used for the characterization of soil microbial community structure that are not able to cultivated by the conventional methods. This profiling act as a biological register of soil health, and as an indicator of soil response to different field management systems like biochar.

Efficient removal of adsorbed lead ions from the sodium alginate-hydroxypropyl cellulose beads was necessary to guarantee their long-term use for repeated adsorption-desorption cycles. In this study, the desorption characteristics of previously adsorbed lead ions on sodium alginate-hydroxypropyl (SA-HPC) cellulose adsorbent beads were tested using various eluents such as sulfuric acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). SA-HPC adsorption beads were produced using 3:1 ratio of sodium alginate to hydroxypropyl cellulose via ionotropic gelation. Generally, using H2SO4 as eluent maintained an exceptional adsorption efficiency throughout in each cycle, but showed a weak desorption efficiency performance. The desorption efficiency using 0.1M EDTA, on the other hand, was found to be the most effective but resulted to the beads disintegration after the first cycle.

Faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kegiatan pengeboran dan peledakan untuk meningkatkan hasil produksi batubara, yaitu aspek teknis, aspek keselamatan, aspek kesehatan serta lingkungan kerja. Rencana target produksi pembongkaran tanah penutup untuk rencana per-hari belum sesuai dengan hasil aktual di lapangan. Penerapan dan penggunaan bahan peledak secara efisien yang digunakan masih kurang baik, sehingga fragmentasi batuan di lapangan sering dijumpai banyak bongkahan besar serta terjadi batu terbang mengakibatkan kondisi tidak aman bagi pekerja dan lingkungan di Pit II Banko Barat. Setiap kali dilakukan peledakan pada tanah penutup akan terdapat batu-batu yang hampir beterbangan, asap gas beracun, dan waktu penggalian yang tidak efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat keberhasilan pengeboran dan peledakan agar target produksi dapat terpenuhi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan secara kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode likert untuk mengetahui tingkat keberhasilan pengeboran dan peledakan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tingkat keberhasilan pengeboran dan peledakan pada pembongkaran tanah penutup di Pit II Banko Barat dengan nilai persentase tingkat keberhasilan sebesar 72,66% dengan kategori berhasil.

Dengan adanya ketersediaan alat gali muat Hitachi ZX 350 sebesar 42% dan alat angkut Scania P380 sebesar 70% yang artinya penggunaan alat mekanis tidak optimal karena sering mengalami kerusakan menyebabkan target pengupasan overburden tidak tercapai. Pada perencanaan kegiatan operasi produksi, performa alat mekanis menjadi salah satu variabel penentu dalam tingkat keberhasilan pencapaian produksi. Dalam mengatasi masalah tersebut PT Mega Bara Semesta harus mempertimbangkan keputusan investasi dengan mengganti alat mekanis yang ada dalam upaya keberlanjutan proyek mengingat umur proyek memiliki sisa waktu operasional 3 tahun. Pertimbangan dalam analisis investasi diberikan dua alternatif yaitu dengan sewa atau membeli alat mekanis yang baru. Penelitian dilakukan dengan tujuan menguji faktor finansial dengan analisis investasi menggunakan metode NPV, lalu hasil tersebut dianalisis dengan metode CBA membandingkan antara nilai ekuivalen dari semua potensi benefit dan biaya yang dibebankan kepada perusahaan. Hasil pada metode NPV menunjukkan bahwa pada alternatif beli akan bernilai –3,3 miliar rupiah dan alternatif sewa bernilai 3,17 miliar rupiah. Hasil pada metode CBA didapatkan nilai BCR pada alternatif sewa proyek bernilai 1,11 dan alternatif beli nilai BCR sebesar 0,92. Berdasarkan kriteria analisis NPV dan CBA menunjukkan hasil yang sama yang artinya jika perusahaan memilih investasi baru untuk sewa alat, maka proyek ini dapat diterima karena melewati titik balik dan mengalami keuntungan dibandingkan dengan investasi beli alat-alat mekanis yang baru.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh self-concept akademik terhadap kemandirian belajar siswa kelas VI selama pandemi. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi adanya permasalahan bahwa masih terdapat banyak siswa yang kurang memiliki kemandirian dalam belajar pada jenjang pendidikan sekolah dasar, terutama saat pembelajaran berbasis online (daring) diberlakukan pada masa pandemi.  Selain itu, ketika ujian berlangsung banyak siswa yang tidak mampu mengerjakan soalnya sendiri dan bertanya kepada teman di sampingnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif-deskriptif. Jenis penelitian adalah penelitian korelasi. Subjek penelitian ini ialah siswa, berjumlah 40 siswa. Variabel yang dikaji yaitu self-concept akademik dan kemandirian belajar siswa. Data diambil melalui angket self-concept akademik dan kemandirian belajar siswa. Analisis penelitian ini menggunakan perhitungan analisis korelasi product moment dengan bantuan SPSS versi 23.0. Berdasarkan hasil analisis diperoleh hasil r tabel dengan N = 70 dan α= 5%, adalah 0,235. Sedangkan rhitung diperoleh besaran 0,769, maka rhitung > rtabel (0,769>0,235), berarti terdapat pengaruh positif dan signifikan, akibatnya Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Jadi kesimpulannya “Ada pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan self-concept akademik terhadap kemandirian belajar siswa kelas VI”. Artinya semakin tinggi self-concept akademik siswa maka semakin tinggi pula kemandirian belajarnya dan sebaliknya, apabila self-concept akademik rendah maka kemandirian belajar siswa rendah pula. Berdasarkan simpulan pada hasil penelitian siswa diharapkan dapat belajar dengan kesadaran diri tanpa adanya paksaan orangtua maupun guru serta dalam belajar tidak tergantung kepada orang lain. Guru diharapkan dapat memperhatikan self-concept akademik siswa dan berusaha meningkatkannya sehingga siswa dapat mempunyai kemandirian belajar tinggi dan dapat menyelesaikan tugas belajarnya dengan sempurna.
