Conviction Integrity: The Canadian Miscarriages of Justice Commission
Authors: Leonetti Carrie
Published: December 2022

Recently, the Canadian Government has committed to creating an independent Canadian Criminal Cases Review Commission. Minister Lametti initiated a consultation process with stakeholders, led by Justice Harry S. LaForme of the Ontario Court of Appeal and assisted by retired Judge Juanita Westmoreland-Traoré of the Court of Quebec, to precede the implementation of the Commission. The resulting report recommends a visionary innocence commission for Canada that is more independent, better funded, more systematic, proactive, and inclusive, has scope to review far more potential miscarriages of justice, and has broader referral grounds and more remedies than existing innocence commissions in other countries. Hopefully, the Canadian Government will seize this singular opportunity to implement a monument to justice and place Canada as the global leader in addressing wrongful convictions.

Perceptions on gamification towards cybersecurity literacy: social sustainability of educative projects
Authors: Morais José , Simões Jorge , Lourenço Justino , Sargo Sérgio
Published: December 2022

Covid19 pandemic has stimulated both the discussion on the use of IT related teaching tools and the exposure of the student population to vulnerabilities linked to cybersecurity literacy. The study presented is based on the assumption that the use of gamification as an element or tool that promotes learning within digital environments may be feasible, and more specifically may function as a teaching element on issues related to cybersecurity for students, especially for higher education students. In order to quantify the openness of students to such a tool path, quantitative methodology was used, and a survey was carried out in two Polytechnic Institutions (PI), achieving a sample of 95 students, and seeking perceptions on positive impacts resulting from the creation of a game scenario for better learning. The statistical analysis conducted tested hypotheses regarding representations and practices about gamification and cybersecurity. Results show that students, regardless of their higher education course, clearly understand what Gamification is and its goals, and also that students adopt good cybersecurity practices according to their higher education course. This last result goes accordingly with the supposition that gamification can and should be used in cybersecurity literacy.

Published: December 2022

Prior research in the development of 30% chromium-nickel alloy nuclear welding wires has resulted in the resolution of primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) and ductility dip cracking (DDC) as well as improvement in solidification cracking (SC) resistance. The resolution of DDC exhibits some Laves phase, which has a negative effect on SC resistance. In this study, the use of an alternate carbide former, tantalum (Ta), in combination with niobium (Nb) was researched. Three heats of recently designed Filler Metal 52MSS-Ta (i.e., HV1648, HV1673A, and VX131WXW) were melted, fabricated, and systematically studied. DDC and SC were evaluated with thermodynamic modeling using the Scheil solidification simulation model, two types of varestraint tests, and strain-to-fracture (STF) testing. The varestraint and STF test results showed an improved SC resistance with reduced Laves phase and concurrent excellent DDC resistance. Optimized compositions with low Laves phase also exhibited high threshold strain values (TSVs) in the STF test. VX131WXW — which contains 2.81 wt-% Ta, 0.6 wt-% Nb, and 6 wt-% iron (Fe) - exhibited a TSV of 24%. Thermo-Calc computed the Laves phase to be 0.24% for VX131WXW compared to 0.06% in HV1673A. This difference in Laves phase resulted in the lower SC resistance of VX131WXW compared to HV1673A when measured with longitudinal varestraint testing. The maximum crack distance for HV1673A was about 0.6 mm while that of heat VX131WXW was about 1.0 mm. The typical diluted weld deposit made with VX131WXW was also resistant to PWSCC due to the chromium content exceeding 24%. These simultaneous results mark progress toward crack-free welds and provide direction for further optimization of Ta-containing filler metals.

Published: December 2022

We report here the preparation of a second generation PPI dendrimer (G2) functionalized by 4-hydroxycoumarin based on the Manich reaction and its use for chromium (VI) removal. The literature review has shown that dendrimers are types of polymer defined by regular branches of a central monomer, which give it a tree molecular structure. Their ends carry functional groups whose arrangement gives rise to cavities that are able to receive other molecules as part of host-guest chemistry. To increase the generation or modify peripheral groupings it is possible to manipulate the properties during the synthesis of the dendrimer. Coumarins are a set of molecules with multiple beneficial properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral properties. It has also been shown that these molecules are good metal ion chelators and are able to modulate the activity of metrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The study of adsorption, on a PPI dendrimer functionalized with Coumarin (C2), trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium, shows that the kinetics are carried out in two steps with a significant removal efficiency for Cr VI (38.26%) and zero for Cr III. During this study, we kept the initial chromium concentration, pH, stirring rate, contact time and temperature constant and with the same amount of adsorbent (30 mg).

Published: December 2022

Sandhivata (osteoarthritis), a degenerative disorder of the joints especially affecting weight bearing joints like knee joint, elbow joint etc. results in painful and restricted movement of the affected joint. Old age, malnutrition, obesity, working pattern, etc. are the contributing factors for manifestation of Sandhivata. Sandhivata has been mentioned in Ayurved under title of Vata Vyadhi. Various Ayurvedic formulations like Kwatha, Guggulu Kalpana, Ghreeta, Taila, Gutika, Rasa Aushadhi and Panchakarma procedures like, Abhyanaga, Swedana, Basti, Janubasti, Rasayana therapy, Agnikarma have been mentioned in classics for treatment of Sandhivata. Use of these various formulations and treatment modalities, considering Vikara Prakruti, Vikara Adhisthana and Vikara Sammutthana can provide expected results in such joint deteriorating condition. An attempt has been done to review various formulations mentioned in Ayurveda classics for treatment of Sandhivata and tried to establish the guideline for rational use of these treatment modalities in specific pathological condition of Sandhivata, which may be useful for clinician and researcher for their clinical practice and future research plan respectively.
The universality of Rydberg constant is investigated with concern for ethics
Authors: Ikechukwu Iloh Udema
Published: December 2022

Bearing in mind the unintended restriction of the Rydberg constant to atomic properties, there is a need to defend the universality of the Rydberg constant beyond atomic physics against the backdrop of the demands of ethics in research and publishing. The objectives of the research were:1) to show that the Rydberg constant is not just a composite fundamental physical constant applicable to the field of atomic physics but also nuclear matter physics; and 2) to examine the burning issues of the need for ethics in research, critique, or evaluation, and publishing. The methods were theoretical and calculational. The derivational and calculational results gave equations and values that were positive and verifiable; the calculation of the Rydberg constant using the derived equation after substituting the calculated mass radius of proton in this research and other literature values and the well-known physical constants reproduced the Rydberg constant to between 99.88 and 104.26 % of the 2016 CODATA value. Calculations based on charge radii from electron-proton scattering experiments produced results ranging from 72.53 to 75.34% of the CODATA value. Specifically, the calculation using the calculated mass radius of the proton in this research yielded approximately 1.096049145 exp. (+7)/m. Unethical behaviors in research, critique/evaluation review, and publishing were identified and discussed, and pieces of advice given accordingly. In conclusion, the universality of the Rydberg constant as a composite constant, applicable to both atomic and nuclear physics remains undisputable. The role of the Rydberg constant in the determination of periodic parameters of multi-electron atom is recommended for future research.

Authors: Alexander Chinyere Nwankpa  , Samuel Nwanneamaka Nwankpa
Published: December 2022

The environmental risks connected to the operations of Ife Iron and Steel Nigeria Limited, Ile-Ife, located in Osun State, are examined in this paper. According to reports, the soot and other particles the company's operations release are bad for the locals' health and threaten their sources of income. In order to calculate the absorbed dose, external hazard index, and annual effective dose for the estimation of the potential biological risk/damage to the community, the radionuclides present in soil taken from the area around the industry have been identified and their activity concentrations measured. Gamma ray spectrometry with a NaI detector was used to identify the radionuclides and determine the activity content in soil samples taken from the Fashina community.

This study aims to reveal a review of Islamic law on the distribution of inheritance based on adat in Lolo Hilir Village, Bukit Kerman District, Kerinci Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods through observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research conducted, the results and conclusions are obtained that the review of Islamic law on the distribution of inheritance based on adat in Lolo Hilir Village is allowed for reasons that are justified by Islam and sharia, where women's morality is more responsible for their families. Therefore, the distribution of inheritance in Lolo Hilir Village is given the right to use for women, the inheritance can only be used and cannot be sold and property rights. Men cannot use it, but when the inheritance is sold, the man gets a share according to the agreement, but it is possible for the man to use the inheritance according to the agreement. In Islam, inheritance law is obligatory and the distribution has been regulated, but it can change due to certain circumstances and reasons. Over time, many women in Lolo Hilir Village have been able to work, so there are often conflicts over the distribution of this inheritance, but there has been a bright spot, the inheritance is distributed evenly, but if it is implemented something is not possible, then it is resolved by adat to uphold the welfare and justice of the people of Lolo Hilir Village.

Seismic compressional and shear velocities are uniquely sensitive to the elasticity of the Earth and are used to estimate many properties of interest in oil exploration, reservoir development, and production efforts. Such properties include formation lithology, porosity, saturation, mechanical properties, presence of fractures, principal stresses, pore pressure, and formation damage. Logging-while-drilling (LWD) acoustic tools can be used when wireline acoustic logging is prohibitive and/or real-time decisions based on acoustics are needed. It has been shown that modern LWD acoustic tools with powerful, specialized acoustic transmitters can deliver most acoustic data and products with the same quality as their wireline counterparts. However, there is a lot of variation in the quality of traditional LWD acoustic data depending on the tool design. The operator’s decision to run an LWD acoustic tool is not an easy one, though, as the tool is often the most complicated and the longest part of the drillstring. In this paper, we present the field test results of a “sourceless” LWD acoustic tool that uses seismic energy generated by the drill bit to extract formation elastic properties instead of a powerful, specialized transmitter. Such a tool may consist of a receiver section of hydrophones only, which compared with traditional LWD tools, significantly simplifies the mechanical design, shortens the length of the tool, and reduces the tool cost. In the absence of an active transmitter, continuously recording the drill-bit energy as the drill bit rotates enables maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the formation arrivals. In addition, the presence of azimuthally distributed receiver elements at each receiver axial position permits decomposition of the received wavefield into monopole, dipole, and quadrupole components. Processing results of the sourceless tool using time and frequency semblance are compared to those from a traditional LWD acoustic tool in the same well to demonstrate the viability of the concept. We also demonstrate that, in the case of “traditional” LWD acoustic tools, it is beneficial to place the tool transmitter below the receiver array. In this case, the drill-bit energy propagating in the formation along the borehole is “added” to the energy generated by the source and effectively increases the frequency bandwidth of the source signal and improves the SNR of the resulting formation arrivals.

Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) which pays attention to employee interest in career development is not known and understood by employees and management of the Limited Company of Rural Banking (PT BPR) Artha Tanah Mas. Employees whose careers will be developed are not enthusiastic because the development is not in accordance with their interests. The purpose of this community service is to increase knowledge and understanding of Social Cognitive Career Theory for employees and management of PT BPR Artha Tanah Mas. The method used was in the form of lectures, questions and answers, sharing, assignments, and games which were carried out on October 1, 2022 at the PT BPR Artha Tanah Mas Office in Semarang City, attended by all staff employees, supervisors and managers. The pre-test was given before the training, and the post-test was given after the training. The test results using the Wilcoxon test statistical technique showed that the knowledge and understanding of the participants after the training increased significantly compared to the knowledge and understanding of the participants before the training. Thus the purpose of community service in the form of training has been achieved.
