One of the primary motivations for studying biofuels is to meet global energy needs. Biodiesel, as a promising renewable energy source, has the potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels if implemented effectively. It is derived from chemical reactions (transesterification) in vegetable oils or animal fats, facilitated by a catalyst that accelerates the reaction. Currently, industrial processes employed by biodiesel plants predominantly utilize homogeneous catalysts. However, heterogeneous catalysts are emerging as promising alternatives in biodiesel production, distinguished by their environmentally friendly nature and the ability to regenerate and be reused. This study aims to investigate the viscosity of biodiesel through the methylic route, employing geopolymers with added magnetic nanoparticles as a heterogeneous catalyst. Kinematic viscosity measurements of biofuels were conducted to assess their impact on combustion efficiency and engine performance. The results obtained indicate that the values fall within the parameters established by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP).

El crecimiento poblacional dentro un marco de planificación territorial inadecuado, la falta de política pública y la deficiente conciencia ambiental, generan que la gestión de los residuos y desechos sólidos en los países en vías de desarrollo presente limitaciones significativas. Esto sugiere la necesidad de implementar alternativas de aprovechamiento de estos recursos, dentro de los cuales la fracción orgánica representa una opción viable y sostenible. En este sentido, este trabajo plantea la evaluación del uso de microorganismos benéficos en el compostaje de residuos orgánicos domiciliarios de la parroquia La Belleza de la provincia de Orellana, ubicada en la Amazonía ecuatoriana. Como primer punto, se caracterizaron los residuos sólidos generados en la localidad, en donde se determinó que la PPC diaria es de 0,275 kg/hab/día y la fracción orgánica representa el 77% del total. Así mismo, se preparó la biomasa benéfica con presencia principalmente de Scopulariopsis sp. 97% y Monascus sp. 3%. A su vez, se instalaron 6 composteras: dos que sirvieron de testigo sin microorganismos benéficos (MB) y cuatro con diferentes combinaciones de residuos sólidos orgánicos o materia orgánica (MO) más microorganismos, lo cual sirvió para evaluar su capacidad de mejora del proceso. A partir de la evaluación física, química y microbiológica se determinó que las composteras T3 (65% de MO y 35% de MB) y T4 (75% de MO y 25% de MB) obtuvieron mayor producción tanto de nutrientes como de contenido orgánico, dentro del producto final. Esto demuestra la importancia de utilizar biomasa benéfica para el mejoramiento de la eficiencia del tratamiento de biodegradación de residuos sólidos domiciliarios

Published: January 2024

The use of single supplements to enhance performance is widespread among athletes. The aim of this study was to increase knowledge about the combined effects of caffeine and New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) dietary supplements. In this counterbalanced alternating treatment single-case design, two participants each underwent four phases of four sessions in a double-blind, randomized order. After a 3-week pre-test phase, the supplement combinations of placebo/placebo, caffeine/placebo (5 mg/kg), NZBC/placebo (600 mg), and caffeine/NZBC (5 mg/kg + 600 mg) were taken and weekly performance tests were conducted to examine their effects on relative power (W/kg) during a 20-minute time trial on a bicycle. Data were analyzed descriptively and using the Tau-U calculator from Single Case Research. The ergogenic effect of caffeine was confirmed in both participants, with increases of 3.3% and 6.5%, while the positive effect of NZBC on performance was only seen in one participant (13.4%). The combination of caffeine and NZBC again increased performance in both participants (2.2% and 19.2%), but the data only showed a near additive effect of the supplements in one participant. The participants did not show a consistent performance improvement with the combined intake of the supplements caffeine and NZBC. Further studies are required to confirm or refute this evidence of the synergistic effects of these supplements.

Este estudo objetiva analisar o processo de escolarização de alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) no marco de uma educação inclusiva. Pesquisa observacional, transversal, descritiva e qualitativa. Realizada com 23 alunos do último ano do Ensino Fundamental II autodeclarados ou com diagnóstico de TEA, matriculados nas 23 Escolas Estaduais em Manaus, Amazonas. Na coleta dos dados, aplicou-se a técnica de entrevistas individuais para os alunos nas dependências da própria escola, utilizou-se a gravação em áudio para posterior transcrição com análise de todas as informações obtidas nas entrevistas. Realizou-se a inserção das falas dos participantes com o auxílio do software livre Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ) para análise e criação dos núcleos temáticos até chegar às categorizações. Na análise textual, empregou-se a Classificação Hierárquica Descendente. A faixa etária dos participantes variou de 13 a 14 anos, predominando o sexo masculino. Após o conteúdo analisado, foram obtidas três classes de categorias: 1 – discorre sobre à compreensão dos autistas quanto as suas dificuldades para a aprendizagem escolar. 2 – Refere-se às percepções dos autistas quanto à assimilação do conteúdo didático escolar e na 3 - aborda aspectos relacionados aos desafios e dificuldades dos autistas em receberem ajuda dos colegas para realização das atividades escolares. Percebeu-se fragilidade da escola em inserir os alunos autistas na dinâmica dos alunos comuns.  Os alunos autistas compreenderam e expressaram suas dificuldades no processo de escolarização, verbalizam que existe forte relação das características comportamentais da pessoa autista com as limitações em manter a atenção, foco e aprender coisas mais complexas. Para que a inclusão seja de fato uma realidade na escola, são necessários formação, preparo e dedicação de todos os envolvidos.

Present study was undertaken during 2005–06 to 2009–10 to assess the impact of integrated watershed management interventions, viz soil and water conservation measures, agroforestry development, crop demonstrations with improved package of practices, plantation and human resource development on natural resource conservation and livelihood security in Garhkundar–Dabar watershed. Soil and water conservation measures generated 25 thousand cubic m water storage capacity, reduced number of dry wells to 2 % from 86 %, increased average available water column depth in wells from 0.88 m to 4.36 m and enhanced water availability to round-the-year from four to five months during the study period. Runoff per unit area and soil loss from treated watershed was 46 and 42.2 % lower than the untreated watershed respectively in 2009. The average productivity of major crops and cropping intensity increased by 26 and 119.5% respectively in 2009–10 as compared to 2005–06. The fodder availability increased by 208 % and within four years, watershed became a fodder secure area with fodder surplus of 1.992 tonne/year/animal as compared to (-) 0.569 tonne/year/animal in 2005–06. The increased direct and indirect employment opportunities in watershed reduced migration to 9% in 2009–10 from 29% in 2007–08.

Authors: GHRITLAHRE SURENDRA K , SARIAL ASHOK KUMAR , RAM MANGAT , ANEJA DES RAJ , SINGH RATTAN
Published: January 2024

In this investigation 20 rice genotypes were evaluated for yield and other traits under SRI and conventional system to identify suitable cultivars for SRI. In general, genotypes flowered earlier but matured late in SRI than conventional method. A majority of the genotypes attained more biological yield and grain yield/plant in conventional over SRI method. However, four genotypes namely; IR 64 (24.31%) HKRH 1094 (15.21%), Pusa 1121 (12.54%), and HKR 46 (11.78%) yielded higher in SRI over conventional. IR 64 is a widely adapted cultivar grown over a number of countries including India, whereas HKR 46 has been released for and cultivated in Haryana state. Pusa Basmati 1121 was released for commercial cultivation in 2003 for Haryana state but it’s occupying about 60% of the total basmati area in northern India and contributed foreign exchange to the tune of INR  5000/crores annually (www.icar.org.in 2009). These genotypes identified superior for grain and biological yield could be tested over macro-environments of space and time and recommended for cultivation in SRI production system.

Published: January 2024

A trading company can be defined as an organization that carries out business activities by purchasing goods from other companies and then selling them back to the public. Inventory is merchandise that is purchased and then stored for sale in the company's normal operations so that the company can pay more attention to inventory. Inventory is highly susceptible to damage and theft. Internal control also aims to protect company assets and also ensure that information regarding company inventory can be trusted. With internal control analysis, it is hoped that companies will be able to determine inventory more effectively and adequately. With effective internal control, it is hoped that they can minimize the risk of errors and fraud in merchandise inventory and if errors and fraud occur they can be immediately identified and resolved. The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of the internal control system at UD Nina Usman, which plays a role in supporting the company's internal control of inventory, and to find out how well the company carries out internal inventory control. The data used is primary data. The method used was observation and interviews to obtain information from the U.D Nina Usman gas station. The results of this research indicate that the inventory system at the U.D Nina Usman gas station is in accordance with an adequate internal control system using the COSO (Committee of Sparing Organizations of Tradeway) method.

The ecology of lakes is largely dependent on rivers. However, because research has frequently concentrated on rivers and lakes independently, the interconnectivity between them is poorly defined. During the present study, hydrochemical investigation of surface water from the Vembanad Lake and its primary inflows, Periyar, Muvattupuzha, Manimala, Meenachil, Pamba and Achenkovil were carried out. This study describes the quality and suitability of lake and river water for consumption and irrigation purposes. It also aids in determining the influence of six rivers over the Vembanad lake water quality. Total 80 samples were collected during pre-monsoon and post monsoon seasons. Various physico-chemical parameters such as Temperature, Turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Conductivity, pH, Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate and Sulphate were analysed. The chemical classification using Piper trilinear diagram reveals that sodium is the predominant cation in both seasons. The Water Quality Index value of the Vembanad Lake is found to be higher in the pre-monsoon season compared to the postmonsoon. Sodium hazard (Sodium Adsorption Ratio- SAR), Residual Sodium Carbonates (RSC), Sodium Percentage (Na%), Magnesium Hazard (MH), Kelly's Ratio (KR) and Permeability Index (PI) are the parameters used to identify the irrigation water quality. Based on the irrigation water quality parameters it can be concluded that water from southern portion of the lake and six inflows are suitable for irrigation purpose. The U.S. Salinity diagram indicates that the northern portion of the lake occupies the high sodium hazard zone. The water quality of the southern portion of the Vembanad Lake is chiefly controlled by its primary freshwater in flows and the northern portion by the saline water from the Arabian Sea.

Det har länge debatterats i Island hur man bör närma sig undervisningen av det isländska språket och dess grammatik; hur undervisningen ska ske, vad som bör ingå i ämnet och huruvida det ska undervisas specifikt i grammatik. Denna artikel ämnar lägga en vetenskaplig grund för denna debatt genom att belysa lärares och elevers synpunkter på ämnet. Datan som används kommer från ett större forskningsprojekt om isländskans nuvarande situation som skolämne på grundskole- och gymnasienivå och består av intervjuer med sammanlagt 56 elever och 19 lärare i isländska i 9 grundskolor och 5 gymnasieskolor i tre olika delar av Island. Resultaten kännetecknas av kontraster och konflikter då det verkar råda en allmän oenighet bland lärare så väl som studenter om vad grammatik består av och om dess kopplingar till andra delar av skolämnet isländska. Båda grupper uttrycker även stort tvivel om grammatikens användbarhet även om de är överens om att den kommer till nytta för att avgöra vad som är rätt och vad som är fel i språkliga sammanhang. Dessa resultat är något oroande och ger lärare anledning till självbetraktelse och reflektion för att etablera en tydligare utgångspunkt för hur de kan närma sig undervisning av grammatik i isländska skolor. Samtidigt tillför resultaten ett ytterligare perspektiv till den forskning som nu drivs om tillämpningen av och attityder till grammatik inom europeiska og nordiska skolor.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: Chest traumas are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this article is to present the place of CT in the diagnosis of chest trauma patients. Methods and Materials: Multi detector computed tomography (MDCT) is considered to be the most effective imaging method in trauma patients. Its advantages include high speed and high geometric resolution at any plane. The method allows us to view large parts of the body with minimal motion artifacts and to create accurate multiplane reformations. One hundred and twelve patients are examined at the Emergency department. The injuries of the chest and intrathoracic organs are found. The research method is discussed by imaging diagnosticians and clinicians with a view to using the most informative diagnostic method in each individual case. Of course, informed consent is also taken from the patients. The MDCT machine are used predominantly in these patients. Results: One hundred and twelve patients are examined at the Emergency department in purpose to evaluate chest lesions. MDCT allows us to view diagnosis significantly more accurate procedure. The injuries of the chest and intrathoracic organs are found. In 56 (50%) of all 112 patients included in the study, fractures of the ribs are the most common traumas. Also fracture of the scapula, sternum, extra pleural hematomas, pneumothorax, hemothorax, pulmonary contusions, laceration of trachea and bronchi, rupture of esophagus, diaphragmatic rupture and injuries of blood vessels are established. Conclusion: We present our experience in imaging diagnosis and behavior in poly trauma patients in conditions of emergency. MDCT must be used as first necessary investigation a procedure which allows us to view diagnosis significantly more accurate than other imaging methods.
Learning from Examples. The Human and the Non-Human
Authors: Beran Ondřej
Published: January 2024

The paper argues that examples are not only used as rhetorical support for a presented general thesis but also circulate without explanation (whether or not with a hidden agenda). We often encounter particulars (persons, cases, situations, stories, etc.) that only with time assume the meaning of an example of something. Learning from so encountered examples is a lengthy process, based on recognizing serious and significant stakes (often related to essential structures of human life) reflected within them, resulting in i) the ability to trace significant connections to other particulars and ii) acting upon this recognition. It is disputable whether i) and ii) are intrinsically connected. The elusive nature of learning from examples – the difficulty of deciding whether learning has taken place – is illustrated using the example of environment-related actions.
Similarity Judgments and Exemplars
Authors: Savojardo Valentina
Published: January 2024

The paper takes up the complex Kuhnian concept of the “exemplar” through some key passages from the Postscript-1969 and The Essential Tension. The term “exemplar” refers to the deeper philosophical meaning of the scientific paradigm: the “normal” scientist, with reference to the paradigm, can carry out his or her research by making similarity judgments between different problems. Such judgments are based on a perceptive ability that precedes any explicit rule and which is defined as both learned and primitive.This paper intends to analyze this dual aspect of similarity perception from the point of view of Embodied Simulation Theory. The Kuhnian concept of exemplar can be clarified and deepened by considering the value of embodiment. The mechanisms of an “educated” perception can be identified in those automatic mechanisms of perceptual mirroring on which embodied cognition is based.

Riverine flora is one of the most dynamic aspects of a landscape, and it involves species which are adapted and specialised to grow in a range of environmental conditions. An ecological analysis was conducted to describe the phyto-sociological and floristic structure of the plant species in the riverine forest at Balloki along moisture gradients caused by river bank. A random quadrat method with a quadrat size of 1 × 1 m was used for sampling of the riverine site. All plant species growing in the riverine habitats were collected and identified. A detailed survey was conducted to record the ecological attributes such as density, frequency, cover, and importance value. These values were then used to calculate the relative values of these ecological indicators. These ecological indicators were correlated with various soil physical parameters (soil texture, moisture contents and saturation percentage), chemical properties (ECe and pH), and nutrients (Na, Ca, K and N). Most of the species were linked to sites 3 and 4 with high moisture content, low ECe, acidic pH and moderate nutrient composition. The species with the highest ecological importance were Cynodon dactylon, Rumex dentatus and Saccharum spontaneum which accounted for more than 80% of the total abundance. It was concluded that species distribution differed significantly along the four study sites mainly depending on the soil-physicochemical features of the study sites.

Self-Efficacy, Teaching Practice, and Teacher Readiness: Mediating Role Teacher Interest
Authors: Devi Hervina Renovaka Pradev , Kurniawan Riza Yonisa , Majid Mohamad Zuber Bin Abd
Published: January 2024

Objective: In the realm of education, the effectiveness of teaching practices and the readiness of teachers to navigate the challenges of the classroom environment have garnered substantial attention. One pivotal aspect that has emerged in educational research is the concept of self-efficacy – the belief in one's capabilities to accomplish tasks and produce desired outcomes. Self-efficacy is known to significantly influence various aspects of an individual's professional life, including teaching. The correlation between self-efficacy, teaching practice, and teacher readiness has been a subject of interest for educators and researchers alike. This research aims to determine the effect of self-efficacy and teaching practice on readiness to be a teacher through interest in becoming a teacher as a mediation variable. We used an online questionnaire to identify 435 college students for this study. Method: We applied partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the research model. Results:  The results showed that the exogenous variables, namely self-efficacy and teaching practice, significantly affected the readiness to become teachers directly.  Novelty: Whereas indirectly, self-efficacy does not affect readiness to become a teacher through an interest in becoming a teacher. However, it differs from the teaching practice variable, which indirectly affects readiness to become a teacher through an interest in becoming a teacher.
