Media Mediation on Academic Advancement for Youths' International Mobility Pursuing Higher Education
Authors: Islam Md Tariqul
Published: September 2022

In this globalised world, students' international mobility pursuing higher education is considered important for the future policies and practices of both host and sending countries. This chapter explores young Bangladeshi students' decisions about overseas higher education by outlining the linkage between the factors related to education and media. The chapter follows a qualitative research methodology and an inductive data analysis approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews from purposively recruited 18 research participants studying in two Australian universities. Findings show that media informed the research participants about global education, culture, technology, and economics. Thus, they have become interested in developing the identity of the global citizen through mobility. Drawing upon the theorisation of Bauman and Appadurai, the author illustrated the politics of neoliberal consumerist dreams and desires that the academic environment and media create among young Bangladeshi students to be physically mobile to seek higher education in Australian universities.
Integrating Youth Literature With Writing
Authors: Calhoun Christie Feazell
Published: September 2022

Schools all over the United States boast mottos and mission statements that offer every child, regardless of their race, religion, gender, ethnicity, or language, a warm, welcoming environment in which to learn, grow, and develop. This chapter introduces multicultural literature as mentor text. While the diversity of the nation continues to increase, having classes that are culturally relevant and culturally responsive becomes even more essential. Cultural relevance requires critical review of all text used in the classroom. Youth literature is no exception. The purpose of this chapter is to explore ways to evaluate text for cultural relevance, cultural responsiveness, and cultural accuracy, and to develop strategies for using this quality text in classrooms of all ages.
Unstructured Writing in the Classroom
Authors: Spiker Amy , Frahm Tia
Published: September 2022

Writing instruction in today's literacy classroom is often structured with assigned topics, structure, and assessment rubrics. This type of writing instruction has its place, as it prepares students for testing and future writing assignments. The authors of this chapter advocate for balancing this type of formal writing with an unstructured approach where students have choice and freedom in the writing classroom. They explain how including unstructured writing in the classroom begins with developing an identity as a writer for both the teacher and the students. This writing identity strengthens writing teacher instruction and improves motivation and confidence in students. In the chapter, the authors define unstructured writing and explain the benefits of providing such an element in the writing classroom. Finally, the authors present practical suggestions for incorporating unstructured writing in the classroom and provide teachers as both writers and writing instructors with professional development materials available through various professional organizations.
“I Had No Idea What I Was Doing”
Authors: Robertshaw Jady , Li Guofang
Published: September 2022

Research has shown that a genre approach to academic writing grounded in systemic functional linguistics (SFL) can give teachers the metalinguistic awareness necessary to deconstruct the language of academic writing. However, teachers require considerable training to gain full control of an SFL-based genre approach, and the influence of this approach is still in its infancy in British Columbia (BC). This case study investigates a BC high school ELL teacher's approach to writing instruction to determine 1) how the participants conceptualized academic writing and genre, and 2) how their conceptualizations impacted their practice as writing teachers. The findings showed that the base level of training required to teach certain ELL courses did not prepare the participant with the explicit understanding of the linguistic characteristics that distinguish the genres students were being asked to write.
Developing Urgent Writing Pedagogies in Teacher Education
Authors: Woodard Rebecca , Schutz Kristine M.
Published: September 2022

This chapter is framed by a conceptualization of urgent writing pedagogies that support inquiry, collaboration, and reading and writing about meaningful topics that are responsive to the social times. It presents portraits of practice—rich descriptions and reflections by practitioner-researchers on theoretically-driven course design and instruction—from an ELA methods course for elementary teacher candidates that is taught by the authors. They share three ways their work on the topic of water justice in this course demonstrates an urgent writing pedagogy: (1) situating the teaching of writing inside inquiry into meaningful/consequential topics; (2) knowledge-building through text-rich inquiry; and (3) immersing teacher candidates as collaborative, multimodal, informational writers. Together, these portraits of practice demonstrate multiple ways of thinking about urgency as part of teaching and learning writing in schools and in literacy teacher education.

The chapter is organized into four sections: (1) a research-based discussion on critical literacy, critical language awareness, and culturally sustaining pedagogy; (2) an overview of the current reality of writing instruction in teacher preparation; (3) an explanation of a small set of essential understandings that can serve as the foundation for preparing preservice teachers through critical writing instruction using culturally sustaining pedagogy; and (4) concrete practices that teacher educators can use to walk the talk as they prepare preservice teachers to employ evidence-based practices while teaching writing in culturally sustaining ways.
Centering Criticality While Navigating Reality
Authors: Behizadeh Nadia
Published: September 2022

Preparing preservice English language arts (ELA) teachers to enact critical composition pedagogy is challenging considering the array of knowledge, practices, ideologies, and skills teachers must acquire. Further, school contexts often present multiple challenges to enacting critical pedagogy. This chapter presents analysis of two preservice teachers' beliefs, teaching practices, and challenges and supports for critical composition pedagogy during student teaching in middle schools. Additionally, the author explores to what extent the ELA methods course she taught influenced beliefs and/or teaching practices, particularly regarding writing. A guiding question is: How do different elements across university and school spaces function as challenges and/or supports to enacting critical composition pedagogy? Recommendations for ELA teacher educators are to integrate queer pedagogy and intersectional identity work; to provide better models for CCP enactment in collaboration with in-service teachers; and to build activist coalitions across school, university, and community stakeholders.

The Internet of Things (IoT) comprises the interconnection of a wide range of different devices, from Smart Bluetooth speakers to humidity sensors. The great variety of devices enables applications in several contexts, including Smart Cities and Smart Industry. IoT devices collect and process a large amount of data on machines and the environment and even monitor people's activities. Due to their characteristics and architecture, IoT devices and networks are potential targets for cyberattacks. Indeed, cyberattacks can lead to malfunctions of the IoT environment and access and misuse of private data. This chapter addresses security concerns in the IoT ecosystem. It identifies common threats for each of IoT layers and presents advantages, challenges, and limitations of promising countermeasures based on new technologies and strategies, like Blockchain and Machine Learning. It also contains a more in-depth discussion on Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) for IoT, a promising solution for cybersecurity in IoT ecosystems.
Dematerialization in Customs Taxation for Transparency in International Trade
Authors: Barbosa Andreia
Published: September 2022

Transparency is a quality that transcends many areas of law and is based on a fundamental principle that transcends the entire legal system and whose scope extends to all public and private actions to which legal relevance can be recognized. In the specific field of taxation in international trade, the importance of transparency has become proportional to the growing complexity of the terms in which cross-border trade in goods takes place. In deed, the more complex the exchanges are, the greater the level of control over them and the greater the degree of transparency required, both as regards the form of control and the specific terms in which transactions are performed. In any case, the requirements and effects of transparency are reflected in a digital context of dematerialization, but not, of course, of automation.
What Are the Leading Bank-Specific and Macroeconomic Factors Influencing Islamic Bank Performance?
Authors: Hosen Mosharrof
Published: September 2022

Despite the proven sustainability and growth of Islamic banks during the financial crisis period, many scholars criticise the current performance of Islamic banks. Therefore, policymakers are continuously getting worried due to inconclusive finding of different research related to Islamic bank profitability. To shed the light of raising concern, this study investigates the issue from considering both macroeconomic and bank-specific factors. The annual cross-sectional data has been collected from 46 Islamic banks in 10 selected MENA countries over the period 2015-2019. The standardized pooled ordinary least square (OLS) approach's findings revealed that bank size, capital adequacy, GDP, and inflation have a significant positive impact on Islamic banks' return on asset, but asset quality has no significant effect on ROA. In contrast, most of the variables have an insignificant effect of ROE. Investors, financial analysts, and policymakers will get benefits from this study's results to secure their investment by successfully controlling the above-mentioned leading factors.

Authors: Holynskyy Yuriy , Onyusheva Irina
Published: September 2022

Ukraine's economy, as compared to other European countries, is lagging behind. An unstable political situation, significant tax pressure, various administrative barriers, complexity of tax administration and with obtaining permits, technical regulation, certification and standardization, frequent sudden inspections by state control bodies, limited opportunities for the use of financial and credit resources, weakness of material, technical, financial, managerial, and personnel components of business entities – all these factors do not promote the entrepreneurial initiative in this country. The key precondition for raising the prosperity level and effective social and economic development is strengthening the competitiveness of the national economy through the coordinated work of the state and its budget and fiscal institutions. This study reveals the theory and the methodology of the formation and implementation of fiscal policy in Ukraine. Peculiarities in the development of the entrepreneurial environment in Ukraine are analyzed, and fiscal mechanisms are defined with the purpose of activating further entrepreneurship development.

Published: September 2022

Over the last few years, the way people trade information and communicate with one another has changed tremendously. In business communication, social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are becoming increasingly significant. Nevertheless, the study into online brand fan page is primarily focused on using website platforms rather than social media platforms. As a result, more research is needed to analyze UAV businesses' fan page engagement behavior in order to grow their fan base and further induce a fan's buying behavior using the honeycomb model's views. Consumers who have participated in an online brand fan page are the study's target group. A web-based survey was used to collect data. Identity, conversation, presence, sharing, reputation, relationships, and groups all had a significant beneficial effect on brand equity, according to the findings. This study confirms the impact of perceived value in improving various fan page behaviors, which aids in the identification and implementation of an online engagement plan for purchase.
Segmenting Reviewers Based on Reviewer and Review Characteristics
Authors: Sharma Himanshu , Aggarwal Anu G.
Published: September 2022

Being experiential commodities, it becomes difficult to make any judgment about hotels or attractions before their utilization. This is where the reviews provided by guests/tourists play an influential role. Therefore, it becomes imperative to study in-depth characteristics of reviewers through which such valuable information is diffused, and also classifying them into various categories based on it. This study adopts a two-stage methodology to segment reviewers based on the reviewer as well as review characteristics. In the first stage, factors that help in evaluating a reviewer are formulated using factor analysis. Later on, cluster analysis is performed for the segmentation of reviewers. Finally, the obtained reviewers' segments are validated using external validation methods. The study comes up with various implications that could be profitable for business managers in selecting the reviewer community.

Published: September 2022

For the last few decades, the business practices have primarily been focusing on the green and sustainable practices that mainly focus on the preservation of the environment and correspond to corporate social responsibility. But the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has left unprecedented effects on the business world. Against this backdrop, the current study entails investigation of the antecedents and consequences of green supply chain management in the post-COVID-19 era. The term black swan stands true for the event. The term could be believed to be accurate as all aspects of the supply chain have been observed to be influenced by the swan (customers with panic/regulated buying, suppliers with hoarding, inventories witnessing bullwhip effects). The current study, therefore, offers a novel explanation by linking various actors of green supply chain management and how the interplay of those actors can influence the supply chain and overall firm performance post COVID-19.

The main aim in this paper is to create a friend suggestion algorithm that can be used to recommend new friends to a user on Twitter when their existing friends and other details are given. The information gathered to make these predictions includes the user's friends, tags, tweets, language spoken, ID, etc. Based on these features, the authors trained their models using supervised learning methods. The machine learning-based approach used for this purpose is the k-nearest neighbor approach. This approach is by and large used to decrease the dimensionality of the information alongside its feature space. K-nearest neighbor classifier is normally utilized in arrangement-based situations to recognize and distinguish between a few parameters. By using this, the features of the central user's non-friends were compared. The friends and communities of a user are likely to be very different from any other user. Due to this, the authors select a single user and compare the results obtained for that user to suggest friends.

Published: September 2022

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Brine is waste generated from the desalination process using the RO method. RO Brine is generally directly thrown back into the sea, even though it has the potential to be reprocessed because it still contains a variety of ions in it. The best method in RO Brine processing is Electrodialysis. But it has a problem of decreased membrane performance caused by the formation of fouling. The fouling problem can be overcome by doing a pretreatment process to eliminate impurities contained in RO Brine, one of which is Ca2+. The existence of Ca2+ can trigger the formation of CaSO4 deposits. Therefore, it needs excess reagent Na2CO3 with a certain amount to eliminate the whole Ca2+. Currently, it isn’t yet known the best pretreatment conditions that can eliminate impurities ions and produce high concentrations of NaCl. Pretreatment trials are needed in various variations of reagents amount to reduce impurities. The purpose of this study is to find out the best RO Brine pretreatment process that will later be used for the electrodialysis process to produce high NaCl recovery. The best results were obtained in the pretreatment process with variations NaOH excesses by 15% and Na2CO3 by 30% from the ideal stoichiometry.
The Use of Hybrid Viscoelastic Sheets in the Shipbuilding of GFRP Planing Hull Vessels Externally Adhered to the Laminate
Authors: Townsend Patrick , Suárez Juan Carlos , Rodríguez-Ortìz Alvaro
Published: September 2022

The use of viscoelastic sheets in the hull of vessels built from GFRP has been raised in previous works as an option to protect the vessel from the destructive damage of slamming. The present work proposes its use in boats previously built by adhering to the outside of the hulls of the ships. Its installation process is shown, and this new type of installation is compared. Through impact tests with GFRP panels, it is shown that the viscoelastic material maintains its property of absorbing slamming energy and protecting the interior of the laminate. Fatigue tests on the order of 5x104 cycles are carried out to evaluate the impact force, the accelerations that deform the laminate and the virtual energy work imposed on the panel. This option shows that designers have a new option to protect the hull of already built boats.

Spatial analysis and modelling of depression relative to social vulnerability index across the United States
Authors: Rivera Kiara M. , Mollalo Abolfazl
Published: September 2022

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, about 21 million adults in the US experience a major depressive episode. Depression is considered a primary risk factor for suicide. In the US, about 19.5% of adults are reported to be experiencing a depressive disorder, leading to over 45,000 deaths (14.0 deaths per 100,000) due to suicides. To our knowledge, no previous spatial analysis study of depression relative to the social vulnerability index has been performed across the nation. In this study, county-level depression prevalence and indicators were compiled. We analysed the geospatial distribution of depression prevalence based on ordinary least squares, geographically weighted regression, and multiscale geographically weighted regression models. Our findings indicated that the multiscale model could explain over 86% of the local variance of depression prevalence across the US based on per capita income, age 65 and older, belonging to a minority group (predominantly negative impacts), and disability (mainly positive effect). This study can provide valuable insights for public health professionals and policymakers to address depression disparities.

Authors: Mikail Samuel F. , Hewitt Paul L. , Flett Gordon L. , Ge Sabrina
Published: September 2022

The interest in treating underlying core vulnerability factors or transdiagnostic processes has been a focus of much attention. In this paper we describe our application of group dynamic- relational psychotherapy to the treatment of perfectionism, a core personality vulnerability factor associated with various forms and types of dysfunction and disorders that have profound costs to the individual both socially and subjectively. Over the course of the past three decades, we developed an evidence-based integrative group treatment that targets the psychodynamic and relational underpinnings of perfectionism. The treatment is based on an integration of psychodynamic and interpersonal perspectives and therapeutic approaches. In this paper we present our model of perfectionism and describe our group dynamic-relational therapy for the treatment of its pernicious outcomes. By drawing on illustrative case material, we describe the approach as applied to one such group as it progresses through four phases of group development that we have termed engagement and pseudo attachment, pattern interruption, self-redefinition/painful authenticity, and termination. Finally, we present some of the accumulating evidence of the effectiveness and efficacy of dynamic-relational therapy.

Authors: Srinivasalu S. , Pilar Anoop , Manohar Sandesh G. , Joseph Jobin , Mohan M. Madan , Amaravathi Rajkumar S.
Published: September 2022

Background and Objectives:

Internal knee injuries account for nearly 45% of sports-related injuries, with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury being the most prevalent. ACL injury is associated with pain, instability of the joint, muscle weakness, functional limitation, poor quality of life, and an increased risk of knee-related osteoarthritis. Preoperative exercise rehabilitation physiotherapy program is often performed to prepare the knee for reconstruction surgery and to maximize the outcomes of rehabilitation. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of preoperative rehabilitation on the outcome of ACL reconstruction (ACLR) using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Tegner Lysholm score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), patients' symptoms, including tenderness, effusion, and range of motion limitations.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty patients with ACL injury were included in this study after obtaining informed consent and followed up till 12 months. A detailed history and evaluation were done. All patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups, one receiving a course of preoperative rehabilitation of 12 weeks, and one who were taken up for surgery without preoperative rehabilitation. Pre- and postsurgery, each of these groups was assessed at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals using the IKDC, KOOS, and Tegner Lysholm scores.

Results:

On analysis, it was found that the mean IKDC, KOOS, and Tegner Lysholm scores increased significantly for all patients from preoperative to postoperative 12 months. There was a statistically significant difference between the prehab and non-prehab groups, in each of these scores, with the prehab group having better functional scores.

Conclusion:

It was found that in individuals with ACL tear, arthroscopic ACLR improved the functional outcome, and among these patients, it was found that individuals who received preoperative rehabilitation fared better in terms of functional score assessment.

Authors: Chernenko Оleksandr , Bordunova Olga , Shulzhenko Natalia , Mylostyvyi Roman , Chernenko Оlena , Prishedko Volodymyr
Published: September 2022

The aim of this study was to determine the association between bulls with different resistance to stress and the morphological and histological characteristics of the testicles and epididymis, and quantitative and qualitative indicators of sperm production for the first three years of their use on a regional breeding holding. Based on cortisol concentrations before and after stress, bulls were divided into two groups, the first with higher stress resistance (n=9) and the second with lower stress resistance (n=7). Animals of the second group had a 11.9% higher incidence of rejected sperm due to poor quality. Animals with a higher stress resistance had a 16.6% larger relative area of the seminal canals, higher weight of the testicles, larger size of the testicles, in both length and width, higher weight of the testicular appendage, and better development of the two testicular appendages. The adaptive capacity of breeding bulls should be selectively improved to evaluate their stress resistance according to the cortisol concentrations before and one hour after stress. When completing herds, it is preferable to use animals with a higher resistance to stress.

Authors: Saha G. C. , Hasanath M. A. , Uddin M. N. , Hasan M.
Published: September 2022

The fundamental purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility of incorporating fly ash (FA) and dyeing sludge (DS) in the production of brick. An attempt was taken to replace 10% to 100% clay by DS and FA in brick-making by volume. A brick firing kiln was used to burn the uniform-shaped bricks after replacing clay with DS and FA. Size and shape, hardness, soundness, water absorption, efflorescence, dry density, loss of ignition, firing shrinkage, specific gravity, compressive strength, and leaching tests were carried out to study the properties of these bricks. The compressive strength of the brink ranged from 6.25 MPa to 0.33 MPa and indicates a decreasing pattern in strength with the increase in the volume of DS and FA. Only 18.8% water absorption capacity was found in control bricks without DS and FA, while a maximum absorption of 40.19% was found for a particular combination of DS and FA. Similarly, dry density decreased with the increase in the volume of DS and FA. Besides, efflorescence in bricks was found within the allowable limits for certain combinations of DS and FA, which exceeded the allowable limits for other combinations. The presence of heavy metals (Ni, Zn, Cr, Cu, and Pb) in the extraction solution was insignificant. Based on the results of this study, we recommend that up to 10% clay can be substituted with DS and FA without substantially affecting the quality of bricks.
Use of Agricultural Waste-Based Biosorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solution: A Review
Authors: Harshala K. , Wagh N. D.
Published: September 2022

Agriculture is the immemorial benefaction of man for the existence and welfare of the human race. Being an agricultural country, it is the prime source of livelihood in India. This review focused on the present scenario of Indian Agriculture with respect to crop production, factors affecting productivity, and agricultural waste-related issues in India. Agrowaste can be helpful to farmers but economic costs are less than the cost of collection, transportation, and processing for profitable use. In this consequence, the review has presented considerable information on the alternative use of agrowaste to control water pollution. The review focused the light on the replacement of conventional chemicals with agro-based waste to develop fully green and sustainable biosorbents. It also highlighted the potential of biosorbents and biosorption technology in terms of their adsorption capacities, cost-effectiveness, binding mechanisms, and interfering factors such as pH, temperature, initial concentration, dose, and pre-treatments. Biosorption isotherms and sorption kinetics models were used for the characterization of agrowaste and developed biosorbent, and recovery of sorbent was also reviewed. The review concluded that further research is required to investigate novel biosorbents that may be a good option for bioremediation for the removal of a large range of toxic heavy metals. The utilization of plant waste as biosorbent will also open a new window of agricultural waste management.

Published: September 2022

Environmental pollution is currently one of the major problems that are threatening biodiversity, ecosystems, and human health around the world. Natural rubber, which is one of the most significant polymers due to its variety of uses, has now become a serious environmental concern. Rubber waste management poses one of the greatest problems because it is extremely resilient and persists in the environment despite several mitigation efforts. Biodegradation is an eco-friendly alternative to conventional disposal methods and has gained tremendous interest in recent years. Several studies on rubber biodegradation utilizing fungi and bacteria have been reported. However, except for a few studies on technical applications, the majority of research on these microbes has focused on the fundamentals of rubber biodegradation. The challenge with biodegradation as a potential solution for rubber waste management is that we have limited mechanistic insight into rubber biodegradation, and the complicated composition of rubber products inhibits cell growth and activity of microbes.

Authors: Hwang Vincent , Liu Jiaxiang , Seiler Gregor , Shi Xiaomu , Tsai Ming-Hsien , Wang Bow-Yaw , Yang Bo-Yin
Published: September 2022

Postquantum cryptography requires a different set of arithmetic routines from traditional public-key cryptography such as elliptic curves. In particular, in each of the lattice-based NISTPQC Key Establishment finalists, every state-ofthe-art optimized implementation for lattice-based schemes still in the NISTPQC round 3 currently uses a different complex multiplication based on the Number Theoretic Transform. We verify the NTT-based multiplications used in NTRU, Kyber, and SABER for both the AVX2 implementation for Intel CPUs and for the pqm4 implementation for the ARM Cortex M4 using the tool CryptoLine. e extended CryptoLine and as a result are able to verify that in six instances multiplications are correct including range properties.We demonstrate the feasibility for a programmer to verify his or her high-speed assembly code for PQC, as well as to verify someone else’s high-speed PQC software in assembly code, with some cooperation from the programmer.
