A Comparative Analysis of Dholuo and Lubukusu Anaphors within the Government and Binding Theory
Authors: Onyango Janet Achieng’ , Nandelenga Henry Simuyu
Published: December 2023

Languages exhibit anaphors, reflexives and reciprocals as either lexical items or affixes. This makes it interesting to identify their occurrence and interpretation. The study aimed at comparing anaphoric system of two African languages: Dholuo and Lubukusu to establish their morphological configuration and syntactic properties. Corpus of data for study were drawn from different sources. Dholuo data was derived from native speaker intuition, elicitations and from existing work by scholars. Lubukusu drawn was derived from works from scholars.  First, data was categorized to establish their configuration. Then, the data from Dholuo and Lubukusu were compared to establish their morphological and syntactic configuration. Thereafter, a comparison of the anaphors from the two languages was performed. Syntactically, the anaphors were descriptively analyzed using X-bar syntax and Binding Theory modules of the Government and Binding Theory (GB). Results indicate that the two languages belong to different families: Dholuo, a Nilotic language while Lubukusu Bantu. Typologically, both Dholuo and Lubukusu were found to be agglutinating languages characterized with presence of affixes. Similarly, the affixes are bound to the verb.  Contrastively, Lubukusu contains reflexives which occur as prefixes and reciprocals as suffixes; while Dholuo anaphors occur as suffixes. Conversely, Lubukusu exhibit the reflexive which occurs as an allomorph with two different morpheme markers; whereas Dholuo has a single reflexive marker. Furthermore, Lubukusu’s reciprocal is distinctly marked while in Dholuo the reciprocal and the reflexive are marked with the same morpheme. Apparently, context is paramount in the interpretation of Dholuo anaphor whereby both the speaker and listener must be aware of what is being conveyed. Lastly, both languages met the conditions highlighted in Chomsky’s Binding Principle A in establishing grammaticality of constructions. The anaphors are bound to respective antecedents irrespective of their positions in the two languages.

En esta investigación se evaluaron diferentes parámetros de calidad del agua para consumo humano, tales como los Coliformes de E. coli, los Coliformes totales, el pH, los Nitratos, la Materia orgánica, la Conductividad, la Dureza total, la Turbiedad, los Sólidos totales, el Cloro libre residual, el Aluminio, el Cobre, el Hierro total y el Sílice, en muestras de agua potable (aguatera) y de pozos en el departamento de Ñeembucú, incluyendo los pueblos de Cerrito, Laureles, Potrero Esteche, Villalbín y Paso Pindo. El objetivo fue comparar los resultados obtenidos para los parámetros de calidad evaluados en las muestras analizadas. El estudio arrojó resultados no cumplen con la regulación vigente en el país en cuanto a los parámetros de calidad del agua. Este estudio fue solicitado por el sacerdote de Cerrito, el Padre Claudio Sartor, con el apoyo del Obispo de Ñeembucú, el Monseñor Pedro Collar a pedido de los pobladores de cada pueblo. No obstante, cabe destacar que, en los casos de la prueba de recuento de Coliformes de las localidades de Laureles, Paso Pindó y Potrero Esteche, los resultados sobrepasan lo recomendado por los parámetros de calidad. Aunque este no es un criterio contemplado en el reglamento vigente en el país, se espera que esta irregularidad tenga una causa puntual y aleatoria, y no tenga repercusión en la salud de la población.

Authors: Phongprapapan Phoemlap , Boontawrach Jiraporn , Adulkasem Nath , Eamsobhana Perajit
Published: December 2023

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative Vojta therapy in children with cerebral palsy (CP) who have undergone orthopedic surgical interventions for lower limb deformities.
Methods: We conducted a prospective case series on children with ambulatory CP aged 3 to 15, indicated for orthopedic surgical interventions (contracture release and deformity correction) between January 2020 and December 2022. One month following these interventions, all patients were scheduled for Vojta therapy sessions. Ambulation capability was evaluated using video gait analysis, an expanded timed get-up-and-go (ETGUG) test, and a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) at 2, 4, and 6 months postoperatively. A multivariable multilevel linear regression analysis was employed to demonstrate the adjusted effect of Vojta therapy during the postoperative period.
Results: A total of eleven eligible children with CP were included. Of these, seven were boys (63.6%) with a mean age of 6.3 ± 3.1. The majority of patients were classified as gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) level I (45.4%). We observed a significant improvement in ETGUG (-14.1 sec, p = 0.011), 6MWT (6.3 m, p = 0.014), cadence (2.1 step/min, p = 0.033), and stride time (-0.1 sec, p = 0.027) after being adjusted by baseline function, age, and GMFCS level during the follow-up period. Sub-group analyses revealed no significant difference between patients with GMFCS I and those with GMFCS II to III.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated a significant ambulation capability improvement in surgically treated patients with CP who underwent postoperative Vojta therapy.

This paper examines the behavior of Arboblend V2 Nature biopolymer samples coated with three distinct ceramic powders: Amdry 6420 (Cr2O3), Metco 143 (ZrO2 18TiO2 10Y2O3), and Metco 136F (Cr2O3-xSiO2-yTiO2). Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) method were used to deposit the coating onto the polymeric substrate, which was obtained by injection molding. Several characteristics of the coated samples, as thermal behavior, roughness, as well as structural and morphological aspects, were evaluated during the investigation. The surface analysis of the samples demonstrated a uniform deposition for the ZrO2 18TiO3 10Y2O3 layer, but a less uniform deposition for the coatings containing ceramic micro-particles of chromium (III) oxides. The thermal research revealed the material's structural resilience. Regarding Atomic Force Microscopy examination, it highlighted the roughness of the coated surfaces and also the good adhesion of the microparticles on the biopolymer substrate.

Legal Vacuum Governing the Use of Kirpan for Sikhs Based on Religious Rights and National Constitution
Authors: Dilraj Singh Sukh
Published: December 2023

This research raises issues related to the protection of the right to state freedom for Indonesian citizens according to Indonesian national law. Specifically, this research discusses the history of the arrival of the Sikhs and the use of Kirpan in the public space as one of the teachings of the Sikh Religion which is mandatory for Sikhs to follow wherever and whenever. The regulation on the use of Kirpan is still unclear and ambiguous, so there is no legal certainty that protects Sikhs. Sikhs who wish to own and use a Kirpan are required to obtain a permit with the competent authority according to predetermined administrative requirements. However, this only applies to Sikhs who are over 17 years old, while Sikhs who are not yet 17 years old cannot obtain this permit. This has resulted in Sikhs who are under 17 years of age not receiving legal protection in exercising their religious rights. With this legal vacuum, the implementation of human rights in Indonesia is imperfect and not in accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.  This research was conducted using normative juridical methods through literature studies and seeking expert opinion. This study uses a historical approach and a conceptual approach regarding the entry of the Sikh Religion and its teachings. This research is based on primary legal materials in the form of laws and regulations, international regulations, and judge's decisions, as well as secondary legal materials in the form of books, journals, and theses which contain previous research.  The legal materials were obtained through library research. The type of analysis used is qualitative, namely by interpreting or interpreting the legal material obtained. The method of interpretation used is the method of grammatical interpretation and the method of historical interpretation. The results of this study state that the Indonesian government must make a law and regulation on the regulation of the use of weapons as a symbol of a religion such as Kirpan without any magical or heritage elements. This is for the sake of implementing religious freedom for Indonesian citizens in Indonesia
Indonesia’s South China Sea Policy: The Limits of Hedging
Authors: Rizqi Rahmanillah Ajeng , Putih Bastian Tiara , Ihsan Rizky
Published: December 2023

This paper discusses Indonesia's hedging policies towards China, especially in the South China Sea issue. In line with a free and active foreign policy principle, Indonesia seeks a middle way by establishing cooperation with the United States and China, two major powers with different interests in the South China Sea issue. This research is qualitative research using a case study approach. In this study, I carried out two data collection techniques, namely interviews and literature studies. The political elite decides to hedge within a government, so it is motivated more internally than externally. Hedging is a tactic that demands a low commitment to a country that does not represent friend or foe. However, in line with the increasing competition between the two, Indonesia's hedging strategy may fail due to external pressure to join one side. Therefore, in maximizing the hedging strategy, Indonesia seems to need to increase its defense capabilities to increase its bargaining position and deter threats from external parties

Authors: Alves Hugo Sant' Anna , Fernandes Carmen Luiza Correa
Published: December 2023

Introdução: O fechamento de vida compõe o léxico dos cuidados paliativos ao incluir tarefas de preparação para a morte como o enfrentamento de assuntos inacabados na dimensão pessoal, espiritual, familiar, social, financeira e legal. Apoiar familiares e pacientes quanto a providências relacionadas à morte é parte constitutiva do trabalho na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Nessa interseção, a abordagem familiar sistêmica oferece um conjunto de ferramentas clínicas e comunicacionais que podem ser utilizadas de forma oportuna para os cuidados paliativos nesse nível de atenção à saúde. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi demonstrar a aplicabilidade das ferramentas de abordagem familiar sistêmica em cuidados paliativos na APS. Métodos: O artigo descreve uma pesquisa qualitativa por meio de estudo de caso, analisando as soluções adotadas por uma família em acompanhamento domiciliar na APS para o fechamento de vida. Os dados foram coletados de narrativas dos integrantes da família com base no uso de ferramentas de abordagem familiar por um médico residente de Medicina de Família e Comunidade e equipe. Resultados: A intervenção familiar sistêmica realizada preordenou as tarefas do fechamento de vida, possibilitando manifestações de pacificação dos relacionamentos, conexão espiritual, resoluções financeiras e distribuição de bens sentimentais, preparação para a morte e promoção do luto eficaz. Conclusão: A abordagem familiar sistêmica para o encerramento das tarefas do fim de vida mostrou-se apropriada e exequível.

Luta comunitária e direito à saúde
Authors: Passini Flora Mestre , Zampar Beatriz Zampar
Published: December 2023

Introdução: O Residencial Vista Bela surgiu na periferia da cidade de Londrina com a implantação de um dos maiores empreendimentos do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida. No momento da entrega dos imóveis, o bairro encontrava-se isento de qualquer equipamento público. A falta de acesso ao direito à cidade e a outros direitos sociais, como a saúde, fica evidenciada como resultante de uma estrutura de Estado burguês e capitalista, fundado no colonialismo. Objetivo: Discutir a luta comunitária pelo direito à saúde com a conquista da Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) no território do Vista Bela. Métodos: Pesquisa qualitativa, realizada por meio da análise de documentos, diário de campo e entrevistas semiestruturadas com lideranças comunitárias. Resultados: Os resultados apontam para a importância que a mobilização social teve na construção da UBS no bairro, sendo essa luta protagonizada por mulheres da comunidade. Conclusões: Fica evidente a necessidade do fortalecimento do controle social do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), uma vez que o direito à saúde no Brasil tem sido em grande medida conquistado por meio da construção do SUS e seus programas na Atenção Primária à Saúde.
Fatores que atraem, fixam, frustram ou afastam médicos de família da atenção primária de Florianópolis
Authors: Machado Julia Pinheiro , Magalhães Camila de Lima , Lucio Donavan de Souza
Published: December 2023

Introdução: Um dos principais desafios da atenção primária no Brasil é a falta de fixação de profissionais médicos nas equipes de Saúde da Família, causando prejuízos à longitudinalidade, atributo essencial da atenção primária. Objetivo: Identificar os fatores que influenciam na atração de médicos de família e comunidade (MFC) para a atenção primária de Florianópolis, bem como fatores que os mantêm, os frustram ou os afastam. Métodos: Pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas em profundidade analisadas por análise de conteúdo convencional. Sorteamos 30 médicos de família de um painel amostral composto de três grupos: a) MFC estatutários e ativos na atenção primária de Florianópolis; b) MFC exonerados a partir de 2021; e c) médicos que prestaram, mas não assumiram, o concurso público de 2019, concurso que exigia título de especialista em MFC e foi o último realizado até o momento. Resultados: Entrevistamos 12 MFC, todos com residência médica. Deles, cinco compunham o grupo de profissionais que se exoneraram; três estavam atuantes na rede; e quatro compunham o grupo de MFC que foram aprovados no último concurso ofertado em 2019, porém não assumiram o cargo. Em síntese, os MFC são atraídos para trabalhar em Florianópolis por aspectos da cidade e pela possibilidade de desempenhar plenamente o trabalho de médico de família. Entretanto, as fragilidades do sistema de saúde público, agravadas nos últimos cinco anos e acentuadas no período crítico da pandemia de COVID-19 frustram os médicos de família a ponto de eles desejarem abandonar a atenção primária ou manter-se trabalhando às custas de sua saúde mental. Os motivos que mantêm ou mantiveram os médicos na atenção primária de Florianópolis foram principalmente a redução da carga horária assistencial e seus vínculos com família e amigos na cidade. A decisão final de exonerar-se partiu do sofrimento psíquico associado ao sentimento de sobrecarga no trabalho e/ou do salário menor que o desejado. Conclusões: Apoiados na análise dos dados, supomos que algumas estratégias, se adotadas, amenizariam a frustração de quase todos os entrevistados: a redução da carga horária com salário proporcional; a contratação de MFC volantes para cobrir ausências; a implementação de um registro eletrônico de saúde que integrasse todas as plataformas digitais utilizadas rotineiramente; o remanejamento das questões burocráticas para um profissional administrativo.

(Keine) Zeit für Soziale Arbeit?
Authors: Görtler Michael
Published: December 2023

Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit berichten in unterschiedlichen Kontexten von zeitlichen Herausforderungen, die sie im Berufsalltag bewältigen müssen. Dass in sozialen (Dienstleistungs-)Berufen Zeit ein knappes Gut ist und Zeitdruck herrscht, belegen Studien zu den Arbeitsbedingungen in verschiedenen Branchen, aber auch in der Sozialen Arbeit selbst. Vor diesem Hintergrund setzt sich der Autor zunächst mit der Bedeutung von Zeit sowie den Ursachen und Folgen von Zeitknappheit und Zeitdruck für die Soziale Arbeit anhand theoretischer und empirischer Perspektiven auseinander. Im Anschluss daran stellt er die Frage nach dem Umgang mit zeitlichen Herausforderungen in der Praxis am Beispiel von Zeitkompetenz und Zeitpolitik, um Möglichkeiten des politischen Handelns zur Gestaltung der zeitlichen Rahmenbedingungen auszuloten.
Pi-hsien Chen
Authors: Fridrich Michaela
Published: December 2023

In ihren Konzerten und auf CDs kombiniert sie gerne Stockhausen mit Beethoven oder Cage mit Scarlatti und enthüllt so überraschende Korrespondenzen zwischen Werken, die Jahrhunderte auseinanderliegen. Die Pianistin Pi-hsien Chen (*1950) ist in beiden musikalischen Welten zuhause: jener der "klassischen" Komponisten wie auch der des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Den Weg dorthin musste sich Chen allerdings hart erkämpfen: Als "chinesisches Wunder" wurde sie 1960 bestaunt, als sie neunjährig für ein Klavierstudium aus Taiwan nach Köln kam. Auf eine Virtuosen-Laufbahn mit Schwerpunkt im klassisch-romantischen Repertoire hin trainiert, wurde ihr zunächst prophezeit, dass es für eine große Karriere kaum reichen würde. Eine Prognose, die Pi-hsien Chen mit ihren Erfolgen bei renommierten Wettbewerben, darunter dem 1. Preis beim Internationalen Musikwettbewerb der ARD 1972 in München, eindrucksvoll widerlegte. Es waren aber nicht nur diese spektakulären Triumphe, die sie zu einer so außergewöhnlichen und spannenden Künstlerin unserer Zeit reifen ließen. Vielmehr ist es die tief auslotende und uneitle Weise, mit der Pi-hsien Chen Klavierwerke aus fünf Jahrhunderten interpretiert und – so der Schriftsteller Navid Kermani über die Pianistin – dem Publikum eine geradezu "transzendente Erfahrung" beschert. Die Reihe "SOLO – Porträts und Profile" lädt dazu ein, die Künstlerinnen und Künstler der "klassischen" Musik kennenzulernen. Erstmals auf dem deutschsprachigen Buchmarkt stehen hier internationale Interpretinnen und Interpreten des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts im Mittelpunkt. Jedes Buch porträtiert in gut zugänglicher und kompakter Form eine Musiker-Persönlichkeit: Dirigentinnen und Dirigenten, Solistinnen und Solisten, Sängerinnen und Sänger. Biografie und Karriere werden ebenso vorgestellt wie wesentliche Merkmale des individuellen Musizierens. Eine Einordnung des künstlerischen Profils rundet die fundierten Darstellungen ab. Die Autorinnen und Autoren der Reihe sind auf ihrem jeweiligen Gebiet ausgewiesene Fachleute und kommen aus Forschung und Praxis.
Founder Effect: Breeding a Dog for the Elderly Gentleman Reveals an Animal Model of a Human Genetic Disorder

Published: December 2023

Animal models of genetic disorders that have risen due to selective breeding can be used as a valuable model to teach the basic concepts of population genetics. The Clumber Spaniel is a breed of dog created in the mid-1700s by the 4th Duc du Noailles. He selectively bred this dog for the elderly gentleman. This sleepy-looking breed survives today, though 1% suffer from severe exercise intolerance due to an autosomal-recessive founder mutation in the pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase 1 (PDP1) gene. PDP1 deficiency was long suspected to be a human metabolic disorder and described at the molecular level in 2005 by Robinson and coworkers. The Robinson group later identified a founder mutation within the PDP1 gene of the Clumber spaniel. This case clearly illustrates how a detrimental mutant allele in a small population, when selecting for phenotype, can persist in the progeny of that group. In this review, we discuss the origin of the “Founder Effect” theory and present an example of how a bottleneck that occurred during the selective breeding of the Clumber spaniel over 250 years ago led to the current genetic status of the breed. Today, genotyping can help reduce the incidence of PDP1 in the Clumber breed.
Exploring a Novel Approach to Monitoring Labor Progression: Can the Distance Between the Fundus of the Uterus and the Xiphoid Process During Contractions Serve as a Predictive Index for Cervical Dilation?

Background: Digital vaginal examination is a well-known method for determining the progress of labor. Although, there is a limited amount of literature on indicators that predict whether labor will result in vaginal delivery. Objectives: This study aimed to identify an alternative method for determining cervical dilation in labor by assessing the distance between the fundus and the xiphoid process of the sternum during uterine contraction. This is an indirect and noninvasive method for determining cervical dilation. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on pregnant women admitted for vaginal delivery. Among them, 352 women were selected using a convenient sampling method at an academic center. Two data collection tools were used: An interview questionnaire to gather information on age and gestational age and a measure of the distance between the uterine fundus and the xiphoid process during uterine contraction and comparing it with cervical dilation. Results: The study population had a mean age of 27.39 ± 0.71 and a gestational age of 38.9 ± 0.14 weeks. There was a significant inverse relationship between the distance from the uterine fundus to the sternal xiphoid process during contraction and cervical dilation in both the latent and active phases of labor (P = 0.000, r = - 0.45). Conclusions: Using the distance between the uterine fundus and the xiphoid process to estimate cervical dilation can be an innovative and practical index for determining labor progress. However, further studies are needed to determine this method's accuracy.

Background: Interest in the study of combined pathology has recently been explained by the accumulation of new facts, the emergence of new information about interorgan, intertissue and intercellular levels of interactionin the system of the whole organism. Studies of the oral cavity in chronic diffuse liver diseases are of great interest to clinicians, since pathological processes developing in the liver, as a rule, lead to organic and functional disorders in the oral mucosa.
The aim of this study was to study the clinical and morphological lesions of the oral mucosa and periodontium in viral hepatitis C.
Material and methods: 196 patients were examined, of which: the control group consisted of 100 patients with lesions of the oral mucosa (OM) and periodontal disease who were not diagnosed with HCV and 96 patients of the main study group. Dental status was studied. A pathological examination was carried out.
Results: HCV patients group included 96 (63.5% males) and non-HCV group - 100 subjects (62.0% males) with lesions of oral mucous membrane. The lesions of lips and oral mucosa were more frequent in HCV than in the non-HCV group – e.g. erosion (13.5% vs 1%), cracks in the mouth corners (42.7% vs 0%), changes of oral mucosa surface (89.6% vs 3.0%), hemorrhages - (78.1% vs 0%) etc.
Conclusion: Thus, during the clinical examination of patients with HCV, the average severity of periodontal damage prevailed. Numerous morphological features can be divided into those that are indicators of the severity and activity of inflammation.

This Trembling World

Published: December 2023

As its founder Imamichi Tomonobu repeatedly stressed, eco-ethics focuses on comprehending what a new ethics for our new times requires. Today, under very dark totalitarian skies, I suggest here several points for further eco-ethical critical discussion on three cardinal themes for such an ethics: human rights, a common good, and social justice. After a short introductory section elucidating my figurative title, I propose in each of the three following sections a summary question and a tentative working hypothesis. The titles of the sections are: 1. Why the idea of human rights lacks general consensus; 2. Why most everyday notions of a common good are equivocal; and 3. Why even strong accounts of social justice are probably unreliable. The presentation concludes with a return to the figurative starting point in the widely suggestive metaphor of a trembling world.

This project delves into the world of linear programming problems (LPP), a powerful optimization technique. It delves into the historical background, key features, fundamental assumptions, and wide-ranging applications of LPP. It also explores two hypothetical case studies: one in investment portfolio optimization and the other in advertisement budget allocation. LPP serves as a guiding light in making strategic investment decisions by maximizing returns and minimizing risks. In the context of advertising, it enables efficient budget allocation to reach the maximum audience and achieve the highest impact within constraints. The project emphasizes how LP simplifies complex decision-making processes, highlighting its practicality and relevance across diverse sectors. In essence, linear programming emerges as an indispensable tool for informed, data-driven decision-making, much like a skilled navigator guiding a ship through challenging waters toward its destination.
Lawsone, lawsone ether and bilawsone for dyesensitized solar cells application
Authors:   , Makoye Amosi
Published: December 2023

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) had turned up as a novel class of low-cost solar cells that can be fabricated easily compared to silicon solar cells. The DSSCs based on natural sensitizers are able to generate clean energy at low production cost. The modification of natural dyes facilitates the broadening of the light absorption range and improving overall DSSCs performance. In this work structural and optoelectronic properties of lawsone (L), lawsone ether (LE) and bilawsone (BL) were studied theoretically using the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory methods with hybrid functional B3LYP5 and 6-311G(2d,p) basis set. The electronic spectra of the dyes molecules in a vacuum and solvents (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2)) were computed. The maximum wavelengths were found at 355-408 nm for LE and 350-448 nm for BL that indicated bands shift to visible range compared to L, 340 nm. The UV-Vis spectra of bilawsone and lawsone in dimethyl sulfoxide solution were measured experimentally. For the BL, a broad and intensive band was observed in a visible region at ~450 nm that apparently would favour sensitizing ability of the dye. The performance of DSSCs sensitized with lawsone and bilawsone were tested in outdoor conditions and I-V curves were measured. The power conversion efficiency of DSSCs sensitized with bilawsone was 1.7%, and 0.6% with lawsone. The results of the experimental measurements were in accordance with the theoretical prediction of the optoelectronic properties of the dyes. The optoelectronic properties of the LE and BL showed them as more promising candidates for DSSCs applications compared to individual lawsone dye. Therefore, the energy conversion efficiency of the cell using bilawsone dye revealed the enhancement in the cell performance.

Removal of hydrogen sulfide from biogas using sweet potato’s leaves derived activated carbon
Authors:   , Juma Geni
Published: December 2023

Hydrogen sulfide gas contained in biogas is both corrosive and poisonous. In this study a performance of sweet potato leaves activated carbon for hydrogen sulfide removal from biogas was evaluated. The samples were synthesized through chemical activation method using potassium hydroxide as an activating agent. The study focused on the understanding of the effect of carbonization temperature during activated carbon making, KOH: C activation ratio, the flow rate of biogas and mass of sweet potato leaves activated carbon on adsorption capacity. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis was performed for both fresh and spent activated carbon as well as for carbonized sample, which was not activated. The activated carbon was also characterized by X-ray fluorescence and Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Sulfur techniques for elemental analysis. The adsorption tests were conducted at the on-site biogas digester at ambient conditions. The adsorbent was packed into the reactor bed, biogas allowed to pass through the adsorbent, and the inlet and outlet concentrations of H2S were monitored. The results showed that the removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide increased with increase carbonization temperature from 600 to 800 °C. The increase in the mass of sorbent from 0.4 g to 1.0 g also brought to the rise in removal efficiency from 88% to 95% under the lowest flow rate of about 0.02 m3 /h with activation ratio 1:1 KOH: C at 800 °C which made a sorption capacity of approximately 1.9 g S/100 g, activated carbon. As per the mechanism of the hydrogen sulfide removal, it is not only contributed by the adsorption process with the pores available but also by the presence of iron in the sample that reacted with hydrogen sulfide. The regeneration test was done for the saturated sample to check the regenerative ability of the material and the result indicated that the sorption capacity of the regenerated sample was lower compared to the freshly prepared sample. Therefore, upon successful hydrogen sulfide sorption, sweet potato leaves activated carbon is viable adsorbent for removing H2S from biogas.
