Optimization of ethanol-based reactive extraction process for spent coffee grounds biodiesel production using duo-function diazabicycloundecene as catalyst and solvent
Authors:   , Trien Huan
Published: May 2024

The intention of this master's thesis was conducted to evaluate the potential of using 1,8-Diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) as an eco-friendly solvent and catalyst in the in-situ transesterification (in-situ TE) process for producing fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) from spent coffee grounds (SCGs) waste. Several parameters were also optimized the FAEE yield in this process by response surface methodology, including temperature, time, ethanol and DBU loading and water content in ethanol. Results showed that promising FAEE yield could achieved under 40 °C. Moreover, FAEE yield tended to decrease under high temperatures due to DBU and ethanol evaporation at 70 °C. The optimal conditions for 5 g SCGs biodiesel production were recorded at 40 °C, 30 minutes, 0.8 ethanol-DBU ratios (total 120 mL), and no moisture, which the FAEE yield was approximately 100%. The presence of water content significantly reduced the yield. However, declining the operating temperature could partly mitigate the detrimental effects of moisture content on FAEE yield. Under low temperature and high ethanol-DBU loading, the FAEE yield was achieved above 80% when the water content in ethanol was 2.5%. The post-ethanol-DBU solution was continued to reuse for the subsequent batch to reduce extra chemical usage. However, the FAEE yield was dramatically lowered to roughly 60% due to the loss of DBU on extracted SCGs from previous batch.

Authors:   , Anuwech Pirada
Published: May 2024

Interactional competence has been in the lime light of L2 instruction and assessment over the recent decades as well as the use of portfolio assessment in language classrooms to provide students with opportunities to monitor their own progress as well as enhancing their language skills. This present study was thus conducted to examine the effects of using speaking portfolios on speaking ability and interactional competence of Thai EFL undergraduate students in order to serve three major objectives as follows: 1) to examine the effects of using speaking portfolios on students’ speaking ability; 2) to examine the effects of using speaking portfolios on students’ interactional competence; and 3) to examine student’s attitude towards the use of speaking portfolios in the instruction. The instruments used included instructional materials with the use of speaking portfolios as an instructional and assessment instrument, a speaking test administered at the pre- and post-implementation stage, and an attitude survey form. The data derived were computed and analysed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test. The results of this study show that there were statistically significant differences in pre-test and post-test scores of all speaking tasks which could reflect a positive effect of the instruction implementation with the use of speaking portfolios on students’ speaking scores and interactional competence scores. In addition, it was found that the result of the attitude survey conducted after the instruction appeared to be at high level both in overall and in every individual aspect.

Legal Transformation: Realizing Nomocracy and Transparency in the Field of Land Distribution in Indonesia
Authors: Harianti Isnin , Anggono Bayu Dwi , tanuwijaya Fanny
Published: May 2024

In Indonesia, the issue of land distribution is an important issue related to social justice and the legal system. The large number of agrarian conflicts and inequality of access to land shows the need for legal transformation to achieve the ideals of the rule of law (nomocracy) and transparency in land distribution. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal transformation needed to realize the ideal of the rule of law (nomocracy) and transparency in the field of land distribution, focusing on efforts to ensure fairness in the land distribution system in Indonesia. This research uses Empirical methods. The research data was collected from literature published in reputable scientific journals. Literature is collected through searches in electronic literature databases, such as Google Schoolar and Scopus. The data that has been collected is then analyzed in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusions. The results show that the transformation of law in Indonesia towards nomocracy and transparency in land distribution aims to strengthen legal foundations, ensure justice, and reduce inequality of land access. The principle of nomocracy places law as the primary guide in decision-making, while transparency reduces the potential for corruption and land-related conflicts. Land law reform and land redistribution policies are crucial steps in achieving this goal. More open access to public information in the area of land distribution allows for greater public participation in decision-making processes. By strengthening transparency and the application of nomocracy principles, Indonesia can strengthen the foundation of its rule of law and ensure sustainability in land resource management.

Theology of science: Its collocation and critical role for understanding of limits of theological and scientific investigations
Authors: Sierotowicz Tadeusz
Published: May 2024

The paper presents a brief outline of Michał Heller’s programme of theology of science, with specific attention to its collocation and critical role with respect to both theology and science. The former consideration is based on a third domain of truths (Hans Urs von Balthasar), while the latter is inspired by Józef Tischner’s presentation of religious thinking. Theology of science as such will be described with reference to Larry Laudan’s approach, considered here as a very useful and pragmatic tool for the description of basic concepts of this theology.
Philosophy in technology: A research program
Authors: Polak Paweł
Published: May 2024

Philosophy in technology is a research program that studies the philosophical roots of engineering and technology. Technologists, by virtue of their education, believe that the limits, goals, possibilities, and effects of technology on society and humankind are exclusively technological problems, hence their solutions must lie exclusively in technology. In contrast, philosophy in technology asserts that the resolutions to these problems need to be rooted in an understanding of their philosophical origins. This program paper defines the objectives of philosophy in technology, the kinds of questions it explores, the methods it uses, and how it differs from the philosophy of technology.
At the interface of theory and experience
Authors: Heller Michał
Published: May 2024

The founding motto of philosophy in science is “tracking down big philosophical problems in contemporary science.” Knowing the basic history of philosophy and the history of science, we more or less know what “big philosophical topics” mean. The most representative topics of this kind include: time, space, causality, matter, life, consciousness, thinking... The tables of contents of philosophy textbooks could be copied to continue this list. These topics are big not only when they remain at a high level of generality, but also when they get down to special cases and particular sub-problems. Sometimes it is only then that they fully reveal their big format.

An ecological approach to conceptual thinking in material engagement
Authors: Alessandroni Nicolás , Malafouris Lambros , Gallagher Shaun
Published: May 2024

Although post-cognitivist approaches have shaken the status quo by emphasising the dynamic interactions among the brain, the body, and the environment in cognition, mainstream psychological theories continue to view concepts as primarily representational or skull-bound mental phenomena. As a result, the dynamics of action and the possible impact of material culture on conceptual thinking are poorly understood. In this paper, we explore the process and meaning of conceptual thinking from a material engagement perspective. We argue that conceptual thinking is not a matter of forming representations in the head but something we do—a way of engaging with materiality. Conceptual thinking is conceptual thinging, namely a kind of unmediated practical knowledge that individuals put into play when they engage, in a general way, with and through the world. In this sense, we propose that conceptual thinking is instantiated in the dynamic coordination of bodily practices and artefacts in sociomaterial activities. To elucidate this perspective, we introduce seven principles defining conceptual thinking within an ecological-enactive framework of cognition.
Ecological significance and multifaceted roles of macrofungi in a changing world. A review
Authors: M. Al-Khayri Jameel , Khan Tahir
Published: May 2024

Macro-fungi, members of the Basidiomycota and Ascomycota groups, are large fungi with visible fruiting bodies, significant for their ecological roles. They serve as decomposers, mutualistic partners, and pathogens, influencing nutrient cycling, ecosystem functions, and biodiversity. The diverse phylum Basidiomycota comprises many macro-fungi with above-ground or below-ground fruiting bodies. Among approximately 100,000 fungal species, around 6,000 produce observable fruiting bodies and sclerotia. They engage in various lifestyles, including symbiotic and saprophytic relationships, impacting ecosystems and offering applications in biotechnology, medicine, and ecology. Macro-fungi influence forest services directly through food and resources, and indirectly by participating in ecological processes like nitrogen cycling. Global changes, such as climate shifts and habitat fragmentation, affect macro-fungi, potentially disrupting ecosystem dynamics. However, the conservation of macro-fungi is often overlooked, with limited understanding of their roles and vulnerability. Understanding their interactions with plants, animals, and substrates is crucial for effective conservation. Macro-fungi can influence nutrient cycling through mycorrhizal associations and contribute to ecological restoration. Despite challenges in studying them, macro-fungi hold promise for bio-remediation and technological applications. Preserving their diversity is essential for maintaining ecosystem balance and harnessing their benefits.
Impacts of Forest Fires on Soil: Exploring the Effects on Biotic and Abiotic Components
Authors: M. Al-Khayri Jameel , Khan Tahir
Published: May 2024

Forest fires are a widespread occurrence in ecosystems worldwide, impacting both vegetation and soil. The effects of forest fires, as well as prescribed fires, on forest soil are complex, influencing soil organic matter, macro and micro-nutrients, and physical properties such as texture, color, pH, and bulk density, along with soil biota. The magnitude of the impact on forest soil depends on factors such as fire intensity, fuel load, and soil moisture. The severity and frequency of fire determine whether it is beneficial or harmful to the soil. Low-intensity fires can enhance plant available nutrients through the combustion of litter and soil organic matter, promoting rapid growth of herbaceous plants and increased nutrient storage. Conversely, high intensity fires can lead to complete loss of soil organic matter, volatilization of vital elements (N, P, S, K), and microbial death. Additionally, intense forest fires generate hydrophobic organic compounds that result in water-repellent soils. Forest fires also have long-term effects on forest soil. This paper aims to review the impacts of forest fires on various soil properties crucial for maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
Growth Factor in the Setting of CAR T-Cell Therapy: To Use or Not to Use

Patients undergoing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy may experience side effects including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), neutropenia, and infection. Growth factor has historically been used to treat neutropenia; however, its role in CAR T-cell therapy is not well explained. Existing data on the safety and efficacy of growth factor are conflicting. The purpose of this integrative review was to explore the safety and efficacy of growth factor in adult patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing CAR T-cell therapy. A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health (CINAHL), and Scopus databases. A total of 2,635 articles were retrieved. Four studies were included that looked at the use of growth factor in the CAR T-cell setting. Safety outcomes evaluated included CRS, ICANS, neutropenic fever and/or infection, and neutropenia duration. Efficacy outcomes evaluated included CAR T-cell expansion and treatment response. The literature suggests that growth factor may not increase CRS prevalence, but may lead to an increased grade of CRS, namely grade 2. Growth factor administration does not have any association with ICANS toxicity, CAR T-cell expansion, or treatment response. Its use may not necessarily lead to decreased infection rates but may shorten the duration of neutropenia. Practice implications for providers working with this unique patient population include using growth factor early in the course of CAR T-cell therapy as treatment to shorten the duration of neutropenia rather than infection prophylaxis.
The Primordial Human Beings According to the Biblical Tradition
Authors:   Sofia University ", Dorfmann-Lazarev Igor ,   St. Kliment Ohridski"
Published: May 2024

This article outlines salient features of the primordial humans as portrayed in the Book of Genesis: their creation, their nature and the qualities with which they are endowed, their relation to God and the created universe, as well as their vocation and destiny. In our compass are not only the figures of Adam and Eve, but also that of Noah who, while echoing Adam, represents yet another type of the father of humankind. In Sections i–iv the Biblical accounts are analysed against the background of ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian sources, while Section iv.i explores the localisation of the beginnings of the post-diluvian humanity on the Biblical map of the world. In Section v, a special attention is paid to the connections between the humans, the plants and the animals, before and after the flood. The focus of Section vi is on the representation of the primæval humans in Jewish and Christian para-Biblical literature. Section vii is dedicated to the reception of the Biblical tradition of human origins in the New Testament and its elaboration in early Patristic texts, apocryphal writings and figurative sources. Our investigation highlights the persistence of royal imagery in textual and figurative portrayals of Adam.

The aim is to promote disciplinary self-evaluation and thereby to foster scholarly self-awareness and self-understanding. The article analyses and interprets the translation scholars’ community in the light of four different community concepts: scientific community, discourse community, community of practice, and innovative knowledge community. By means of conceptual analysis, the article examines which qualities and facets of the (translation) research community are emphasized by each of these theoretical approaches. The analysis reveals, on the one hand, that despite having diverse disciplinary backgrounds and emphases, the examined conceptions of communities share several features and are, to a certain extent, compatible. On the other hand, some features can be contradictory, thereby shedding an intriguing light on the (translation) researchers’ community.

The present article introduces a minority language corpus, the Newspaper Corpus of Karelian Finnish, and the tentative results of lexical and grammatical analysis based on it. The corpus was compiled from the newspaper Karjalan Sanomat and consists of two sub-corpora: texts originally written in Finnish and texts translated into Finnish from Russian. This is the first attempt to analyse a minority language variant of Finnish spoken outside Finland by comparing it to Standard Written Finnish (SWF) and using corpus linguistic methods. The two sub-corpora of Karjalan Sanomat are compared to the newspaper Karjalainen published in Eastern Finland, and the objective is to gain a lexical and grammatical cross-section based on corpus linguistic methods. The analysed features include some quantitative lexical indicators (word length, sTTR), distribution of syntactic categories, and key words (lexical contents and morphosyntactic categories). The comparison shows that the two variants of Karelian Finnish resemble each other more than SWF. Furthermore, it is theoretically interesting that a translated minority language variety is lexically richer (less repetitive) than originally written minority language variety, a result opposite to earlier comparisons between translated and non-translated language variants within majority languages.

This paper reports on a survey on translator students’ attitudes towards translation technology (TT). The questionnaire was filled in by 165 translator students at two universities who took an introductory course in TT. The course included an introduction to topics such as machine translation, translation memories, and corpora. The questionnaire contained 30 questions about the role of TT in translating, its influence on the translation work, and its role in innovating the translation work. The data was analysed statistically, using factor analysis. The following six factors emerged: information contents and work, sociability, information processing, technology as a tool, professional competence and changes in the roles. The results indicate statistically significant differences in that students who had more experience in using computers saw the role of TT as a social media environment, and that students who had work experience in translation had a more skeptical view towards TT than students without work experience.

Public service interpreting is a practice in which different agents collaborate in a wide array of communicative situations. At the same time, these heterogeneous situations are regimented by strict institutional, structural, and professional constraints. Thus, agency, i.e. functional ability based on individual identities and cultural models, materialized through collective activities, is a particularly challenging field of inquiry in such settings. This collaborative paper aims at examining agency in public service interpreting from the perspectives of a researcher specialized in the theory of agency, a public service interpreter who is also a researcher, and the head of a public interpreting service agency. Therefore, the goal is to combine theory and practice and bring together different stakeholders’ points of view. Through this critical examination of the notion of agency, the authors aim at identifying a common ground that could function as a basis for a more cooperative model of agency in this context. The paper originates from a panel organized at the Finnish Symposium on Translation and Interpreting Studies held at the University of Tampere in April 2014.

To write about past translators, we need to rely on archival material. This article sets out to look at Finnish archives and how they can be used in translation research to produce a microhistory of translators and translations. Archives are first discussed on a more general level and examples are then given to illustrate the different aspects of translators’ lives that become visible through archival study. The examples are from different archives and by different translators and are based on previous research of the present author. The aim is, thus, to give an overview of the aspects that a microhistory of translators and translations might consist of, rather than present an in-depth study of one single translator. The examples have been chosen to shed light on the Finnish translators’ working decisions and practices but also on their friendships, hardships, family matters and joys. The material used consists of letters, notes and manuscripts.

El acelerado deterioro del medio ambiente y la consecuente pérdida de los servicios ecosistémicos, obligan a todos los sectores involucrados en la toma de decisiones a implementar estrategias inmediatas para revertir los efectos negativos sobre el entorno. La participación ciudadana es crucial para lograr cualquier iniciativa a favor del medio ambiente; por lo que se debe garantizar la comprensión de esta problemática por parte de la sociedad en general. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar la percepción de medio ambiente y problemática ambiental, así como el nivel de compromiso y responsabilidad ambiental en estudiantes de una institución del Subsistema Tecnológico. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta de 24 preguntas, organizadas en cinco rubros relacionados con la percepción del medio ambiente y la actitud frente a las iniciativas a favor. Se aplicó a estudiantes de tercer cuatrimestre de 10 programas educativos, durante el primer trimestre de 2023. Los resultados fueron analizados en función de la frecuencia de selección de las respuestas y comparaciones entre áreas de conocimiento. Se observó que el concepto de medio ambiente se asocia con los factores bióticos y abióticos, la percepción de la problemática ambiental con los problemas locales de la región, y el compromiso con las iniciativas ecológicas es mayor en estudiantes de áreas de ciencias naturales. Se concluye que la percepción del medio ambiente se construye desde el entorno de convivencia y se fortalece a través de las asignaturas relacionadas con las ciencias naturales incluidas en la currícula de los programas educativos.
