Published: April 2023

Human activities in modern life are contributing significantly to global environmental pollution. With the need for clean drinking water ever increasing, so does the need to find new water-cleaning technologies. The ability of nanoparticles (NPs) to remove persistent pollutants from aqueous solutions makes them very important for use in water treatment technology. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is recognized as an NP with unique optical, thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties and is widely used as an adsorbent material. Due to the extensive use of pesticides, their removal from the aquatic environment has gained widespread attention from the scientific community. In the present work, the transport of pesticide thiophanate methyl (TM), as well as the cotransport of TM and TiO2 nanoparticles, in a water-saturated column packed with quartz sand under various water conditions were investigated. Several ionic strengths (1, 10, 50, and 100 mM) and pH values (3, 5, 7, and 10) were examined. The results from the transport experiments were fitted and analyzed with the use of the ColloidFit software, while the results from the cotransport experiments were fitted with a modified version of a recently developed mathematical cotransport model. The results of this study suggested that the lowest mass recovery rate was for the cotransport experiments with the addition of NaCl. Furthermore, it was shown that TM has a weak affinity for sand but a relatively strong affinity for TiO2 at high ionic strength and acidic pH, probably accounting for the reduced mass recovery of TM in cotransport experiments.

E-Learning Software: Comparing the use Behavior Among Academicians and Schoolteachers
Authors: Smolinski Pawel , Marcin Szostakowski  , Jacek Winiarski
Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an increase in the use of e-learning software. From the perspective of the decision-makers (school/university administration), it is crucial to understand what characteristics of the software are perceived by the users (teachers) as necessary for a task (e-learning). A popular method of determining these characteristics is a technology acceptance model. In this paper, the authors aim to understand the technology acceptance of Microsoft (MS) Teams by applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The authors also analyze acceptance in two distinctive groups of teachers: schoolteachers and academic teachers, to better understand differences in e-learning software acceptance and implementation. The results show that MS Teams is a well-accepted software and the users' intention to use MS Teams in e-learning is the same regardless of the teacher's group. There are significant differences in the perception of software characteristics between different groups. The authors analyze the potential causes of these differences and suggest practical implications for improving the quality of e-learning. The intent is not to validate UTAUT as a general technology acceptance model but to understand its practical importance in explaining use behavior in e-learning.

Published: April 2023

Many countries have increased their climate ambitions, including net-zero by 2060. Gender equality is essential for just energy transition (JET). United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 5 and 7 promote gender equality and access to sustainable energy for all. Women's participation in JET is crucial, yet they are underrepresented in the energy industry. This study promotes women's participation in the JET and strives to reconcile justice and inclusivity in the energy transition from upstream and downstream ASEAN beneficiaries with G7 precedents. 

This paper aims to analyse the aspect of justice in the energy transition from women's perspectives in ASEAN and G7 countries. Most of the literature on women's issues in the energy sector is related to energy poverty and energy access. Hence, this paper will contribute to the literature on women's perspectives in the energy transition both in the workforce and in society as consumers.

This paper analyses to answer a question on “how far women in ASEAN have participated in the energy transition (leadership roles to end-users) compared to women in G7 economies?”.   We use case studies with cross-analysis of ASEAN and G7 countries throughout this paper to demonstrate the contrast and similarity of gender equality in energy sector by exploring women’s experience as workers in the energy sector and as energy consumers (dirty to clean cooking – clean electricity).  We applied strategy basic research by conducting content analysis with intensive literature reviews, and additional aspects of women’s perspectives on this area, those who work and live in these regions to develop regional context. We also adopted the three tenets of justice by Jenkins et al (2016) and analysed the data collected using this framework.  

This paper finds that ASEAN and G7 regions are almost at the same level in terms of women participation in ensuring a just energy transition. Despite having more women in the leadership roles in renewable energy sector, G7 is almost at the same level as ASEAN in their effort of improving women’s participation to accelerate and ensure a just transition in the regions.

Published: April 2023

Background: The aims of this study were to: (i) to analyze the morphometric characteristics of the cervical vertebral column in the sagittal plane; and (ii) compare morphometric methods used for determinating cervical lordosis angle. Materials and Methods: Direct cervical sagittal radiographs of 175 adults were analyzed and cervical lordosis angle was evaluated by Cobb (C2-C7), central cervical lordosis angle, posterior tangent, and Risser & Ferguson methods. In addition, occipitocervical angle (occiput-C2) and cervical vertical tranlation distance were deter-mined to assess upper cervical lordosis and forward head posture, respectively. Results: The measured cervical lordosis angles were differed (p<0.05) depending on the measurement met-hod. There was a strong negative correlation between cervical lordosis angle and occipitocervical angle (r = -0.707), a weak negative correlation between cervical lordosis angle and cervical vertical translation distance (r = -0.253) and a moderate positive correlation between occipitocervical angle and cervical vertical translation distance (r = 0.552). It was observed that an increase of 1 mm in the cervical vertical translation distance cau-sed an increase in the occipitocervical angle about 0.6 degrees. Conclusions: In planning cervical surgery, the balance and alignment of the cervical vertebral column in the sagittal plane should be evaluated in detail. The contour of the cervical vertebral column in the sagittal plane and the limits of cervical lordosis angle are important in the evaluation of cervical pathologies. The obsserva-tions from this study will benefit the understanding of vertebral column morphometry will contribute to the literature in anatomy, physiotherapy, radiology, and cervical regional surgery.

Does ESG Affect The Firm Value?
Authors: Palupi Agustin
Published: April 2023

Objective - As the concept of sustainability develops in the industrial world, stakeholders are compelled to consider ESG performance when measuring company value. A company needs to increase its value and demonstrate its sustainability capabilities by publishing sustainability reports on ESG factors. This research aims to inquire whether ESG affects the firm's value.
Methodology/Technique – The causality research is analyzed with Eviews using ASEAN panel data from 2019-2021 to measure the effect of ESG on firm value with a total of 738 firm years of data.
Findings - Environmental performance is associated with high ecological costs in developing nations and is a burdensome additional expense that will deteriorate the company's financial condition. Disclosure of nonfinancial information jeopardizes the creation of company value, resulting from meeting the demands of stakeholders imposed on the company, thereby causing other agency conflicts. The relatively low level of investor confidence in the signal contributes to ESG performance that lowers the company's market value. Most investors respond negatively to these signals, assuming that the activities disclosed in ESG reporting are too costly and detrimental to their interests. They could be more enthralling in investing, decreasing market demand, and reducing the company's value.
Novelty - This study explains the determinants of firm value from ESG scores and separate ESG scores in the ASEAN market.

Assessing Grid Strength of 100% Inverter-Based Power Systems
Authors: Ma Fuyilong , Xin Huanhai , Wu Di , Liu Yun , Chen Xia
Published: April 2023

The increasing integration of renewable resources via power electronic inverters is shifting a modern power system toward a 100% inverter-based power system (IBPS). To maintain the stable operation of a 100% IBPS, it is important to identify the small-signal stability issues resulting from the interaction between the power network and inverter-based apparatuses. Due to the complexity of the interaction in a large-scale power system with many inverter-based apparatuses, grid strength assessment is a useful tool for fast identifying the stability issues. However, existing methods are not applicable to the 100% IBPS composed of gridfollowing (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) inverters. To fill this gap, the paper proposes a method for fast assessing grid strength in terms of small-signal  stability in the 100% IBPS. First, we formulate a multi-inverter system modeling for the small-signal stability analysis of the 100% IBPS. According to the analysis results, a measure and its threshold are then defined to characterize the gird strength of such a system. Also, an analytical expression is derived to determine the threshold and differentiate the impacts of GFL and GFM inverters on the stability boundary. Based on the defined measure and its threshold, our method is proposed and then validated on an IEEE 39-bus system dominated by GFL and GFM inverters.
Short Packet Communication Over Two-user Rayleigh Fading Z-Interference Channel Under Bursty Traffic
Authors: Kumar J Deeraj , Mohapatra Parthajit , Pappas Nikolaos
Published: April 2023

One of the fundamental challenges in 5G and beyond technologies is to support short packet transmissions while ensuring ultra-reliable and low latency  communication. Due to the distributed nature of the network, interference is almost unavoidable in most of the emerging communication scenarios. In addition to this, data arrival at the users is bursty in nature. The performance of various interference mitigation techniques for short packet communication under bursty traffic is not well understood from the existing literature. To address these issues this work considers the problem of short packet communication over two-user Rayleigh fading Z-interference channel (Z-IC) under random arrival of data at the users. The work characterizes the stability region of the 2-user Z-IC which takes account of random arrival of data at the users. The evaluation of the stability region involves determination of probability of successful decoding for the various interference mitigation techniques such as joint decoding and successive interference cancellation. The probabilities of successful decoding are characterized for various interference mitigation techniques using the framework of finite block-length information theory. The developed results take into account the packet length, rate, underlying channel model and random arrival of data at the users. The developed results also help to explore the impact of interference on average delay and average age of information for various interference mitigation techniques. 
Super ultra-wideband closed waveguide supporting one-way states
Authors: Ahmadi Haddi , Zafari Kazem , Pasdari-Kia Mohmmad , Razmjooei Nasrin , Arik Kamalodin
Published: April 2023

In this work, we propose a pseudospin-polarized closed waveguide whose walls are formed by dual electromagnetic boundary conditions.  The structure has a very wide bandwidth so that it covers an extremely wide electromagnetic spectrum.  The proposed waveguide supports one-way pseudospin states resulting from the establishment of dual relationships at the waveguide boundaries, and hence the establishment of mirror reflection symmetry. This provides the proposed waveguide with the ability to suppress backscattering.  The boundary conditions of the proposed structure consist of complementary metasurfaces which have dual surface impedances.  The presence of these boundary conditions leads to forming a pseudospin-polarized waveguide having the ability to suppress and filter the backward modes that may be excited along bent paths or discontinuities.  To the best of our knowledge, this is the widest bandwidth waveguide that has been proposed so far, so that the isolation of the waveguide in the frequency range of 7- 350 GHz is above -0.5 dB.  In addition, we use a very precise method based on the variational method to calculate the surface impedance of the metasurfaces forming the waveguide boundaries so as to increase the accuracy of the obtained results.

This is a submitted draft of a paper on the design and validation of a Torso-dynamics Estimation System (TES). The TES consisted of a Force Sensing Seat (FSS) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that measured the kinetics and kinematics of the subject's torso motions. The FSS estimated the 3D forces, 3D moments, and 2D COPs while the IMU estimated the 3D torso angles. To validate the TES, the FSS and IMU estimates were compared to gold standard research equipment (AMTI force plate and Qualisys motion capture system, respectively).

Potential applications of the TES include physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) for navigating riding or remote robots.

Generalized Inverse Matrix Construction for Code Based Cryptography
Authors: Haidary Makoui Farshid , Gulliver Aaron
Published: April 2023

The generalized inverses of systematic non-square binary matrices have applications in mathematics, channel coding and decoding, navigation signals, machine learning, data storage and cryptography such as the McEliece and Niederreiter public-key cryptosystems. A systematic non-square $(n-k) \times k$ matrix $H$, $n > k$, has $2^{k\times(n-k)}$ different generalized inverse matrices. This paper presents an algorithm for generating these matrices and compares it with two well-known methods, i.e. Gauss-Jordan elimination and Moore-Penrose methods. A random generalized inverse matrix construction method is given which has a lower execution time than the Gauss-Jordan elimination and Moore-Penrose approaches.

This study aimed to determine the correlation between agronomic characters in maize and the characters that affect the yield of hybrid maize. This experiment was conducted at the Bajeng IP2TP, Indonesian Cereal Research Institute, Gowa, South Sulawesi from March to June 2022. The treatments consisted of ten hybrid maize genotypes. The treatments were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The variables observed were the agronomic component and yield component. Pearson's correlation was used to determine the relationship between characters, and the characters that affected the grain yield were determined by path analysis. The results showed the characters leaf length, leaf width, harvested plant number, harvested ear number, harvested ear weight, shelling percentage, ear length, ear diameter, kernel number per row and 1000 grains weight have a significant correlation to yield. Characters that affected to maize yields were harvested ear weight, shelling percentage and grain moisture.
Blackstrap molasses as a source of bioactive compounds for the green synthesis of nanoparticles
Authors: Aita Giovanna M. , Moon Young Hwan
Published: April 2023

By-products from the sugar industry (e.g., blackstrap molasses) can be a source of bioactive compounds (e.g., phenolics) known to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. These bioactive molecules can be used in the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Metal nanoparticles have gathered attention because of their novel physico-chemical properties and potential biological applications (e.g., biocides, fungicides, pesticides, targeted drug and gene delivery, biosensing, medical implants, and plant biostimulants). Gold, silver, iron, and copper nanoparticles are of particular interest as they can be easy to operate and are cost effective, and biocompatible, and their biological activities can be enhanced by surface modifications. In this study, the reducing potential of the phenolic compounds in molasses was investigated for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles without the external addition of reducing agents. The reddish color formation and peak appearance at 420 nm were indications of the successful synthesis of the silver nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles and reducing biomolecules were further characterized by microscopy (SEM, TEM, EDS) and spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques indicating nanoparticles of spherical shape and with particle sizes ranging from 15 nm–45 nm. Their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The synthesized nanoparticles showed a biocidal effect, further confirmed by microscopy techniques. It appears that the nanoparticles are interacting with the cell surface of bacteria, penetrating the cell and also causing the disruption of intracellular organelles.

Authors: O’Kennedy Sean J. , Bertossi Luca , Smith Shane
Published: April 2023

Volumetric throughput at the carbonatation filters at Malalane white sugar refinery was identified as a bottleneck. Scheduling filter cleaning was found to be one of the major concerns. The maximisation of the throughput via scheduling was approached by data integration and modelling. Linear regressions of the process parameters were implemented in volume space, which allows for the prediction of the remaining run duration of each filter. These predictions are continually used as an input to an algorithm that creates a schedule. The calculations are conducted in the cloud on real-time data and the predictions reported to a web-based user interface for the plant operator to use.

Published: April 2023

Can polymer-infiltrated florapatite glass ceramic produced from waste materials, such as clam shell and soda lime silicate glass, be used in prosthetic rehabilitation? The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Si/Ca ratio on the mechanical properties of Nb-Bi-Ce doped polymer-infiltrated fluorapatite ceramic networks (PICNs) produced from clam shell (CS) and soda lime silicate (SLS) glass by conventional melt-quench technique, used as a dental ceramic. PICNs comprising Si/Ca at four different weight percentage ratios: 1.27% (PICN-1), 2.15% (PICN-2), 4.12% (PICN-3) and 12.6% (PICN-4) were prepared (n=10). The powder mixtures in four different ratios were compressed in a rectangular prism shaped mold and subjected to equal pressure from all sides in a cold isostatic press, followed by heat treatment at 750C for 3 h. Then complete vacuum infiltration was done with a polymer mixture then low temperature firing was applied leading to the formation of the PICNs. Wear behavior and 3-point bending properties were evaluated and specimens were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The friction and wear properties were determined by means of a pin-on-disk tribotester. Since the flexural strength test did not show normal distribution, Kruskal Wallis test was performed in independent groups, p[0.05. There is a significant difference of flexural strength values between the groups (p=0.032), it was determined that the difference was between the PICN-1 and PICN-4 groups (p=0.037). In the analysis of wear scar, abrasion grooves were also observed. The results of this study showed that high Ca and Si content in CS and SLS glass, respectively, encourages the use of waste materials in the production of PICNs intended to be used in prosthetic rehabilitation. The composition of PICNs produced from waste materials affected flexural strength and wear behavior. Increasing the Si/Ca ratio was found to support the mechanical properties of experimental PICN and that experimental PICNs can be considered as high potential candidates for dental applications.

Published: April 2023

In the past few years, there has been a shocking rise in the rate at which teachers are abandoning the teaching profession. What is more disturbing is the scenario that the numbers appeared to be increasing daily. This research used a mixed-method approach. The study provided information on the teacher profile, the capacity of staff in relation to workload and expertise, factors that influenced teachers to leave the teaching profession in the province, perception of the teaching profession and employment opportunities after resignation from 590 teachers in the province. The study found that there were several factors which have contributed to high teacher resignations in the North-West Province over the years. The study found that one of the main causes of attrition was the Government pension fund saga. On policy implication, the Department of Basic Education has been pushing for an increase in qualified teachers’ deployment to different schools due to the high demand from the increased number of students. However, due to high attrition, it has been difficult to fill the void created by teachers who have left as they take with them high-value experience leaving a high rift of inexperienced, less effective teachers in classrooms which leads to increased recruiting and training budgets. Participants indicated the existence of peers from colleagues who have resigned and are undertaking industrious projects with the Government pension money. Their desire to make money pushes them to want to do the same and this makes efforts to change their mindset quite challenging. The study concluded that the Department of Basic Education needs to focus on teacher welfare to reduce the high attrition rate and ensure student success in the long run.

Published: April 2023

The dynamic, challenging, and complex nature of the construction projects environment often cause adversarial culture, disputed claims, and deteriorating relationships between project participants. This paper aims to study the correlation between Relationship Management (RM) and construction project success and to develop a framework that includes practical actions, tools, and strategies for managing relationships in construction projects. Literature review and interviews were used to explore and validate the RM’s relevant associated traits. Subsequently, a piloted questionnaire was used to collect the data from 264 construction experts and assess the effect of RM on the overall project success. The data were analyzed using Partial-Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), where the structural and measurement models of the higher and lower order constructed were assessed. The study findings categorized the RM-associated traits into three main pillars: Contractual Measures, Team Interactions, and Top Management Actions. The findings also confirmed that RM has a significant positive effect on the overall success of construction projects. In addition, this paper proposed an integrated framework for managing relationships in construction projects, allowing construction firms to monitor the relationships in their projects and identify key areas for strengthening the relationships throughout their projects to foster their projects’ success rates.

Published: April 2023

The dandelions from Taraxacum sect. Erythrosperma are taxonomically well distinguished and ecologically restricted to warm and sunlit habitats of steppes, dry and sandy grasslands, and distributed in temperate regions of Europe and Central Asia, with some being introduced to North America. Despite the long tradition of botanical research, the taxonomy and distribution of dandelions of T. sect. Erythrosperma is still underexplored in central Europe. In this paper, by combining traditional taxonomic studies supported by micromorphological, molecular and flow cytometry analyses as well as potential distribution modelling we shed light on taxonomical and phylogenetical relationships between members of T. sect. Erythrosperma in Poland. We also provide an identification key, species-checklist, detailed descriptions of morphology and occupated habitats as well as distribution maps for 14 Polish erythrosperms (T. bellicum, T. brachyglossum, T. cristatum, T. danubium, T. disseminatum, T. dissimile, T. lacistophyllum, T. parnassicum, T. plumbeum, T. proximum, T. sandomiriense, T. scanicum, T. tenuilobum, T. tortilobum). Finally, conservation assessments performed using the IUCN method and threat categories for all the examined species are proposed.
A Clinical Overview of the Natural Course and Management of Lateral Epicondylitis
Authors: Konarski Wojciech , Poboży Tomasz
Published: April 2023

Lateral epicondylitis (LE), also often called tennis elbow, is a frequent cause of elbow pain. The most characteristic symptom of LE is pain and burning around the lateral epicondyle of the humerus that may radiate to the forearm or to the upper arm. Ultrasonography is a quick and noninvasive tool used to confirm (or exclude) the diagnosis of LE. Management of LE symptoms should be directed to the management of pain, protection of movement, and improvement of arm performance. Treatment of LE includes nonoperative techniques and surgery. [

The Relationship Between Frailty and Functional Outcomes, Range of Motion, and Reoperation After Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Proximal Humerus Fracture
Authors: Zhang Dafang , Ostergaard Peter J. , Hall Matthew J. , Shoji Monica , Earp Brandon E.
Published: April 2023

The objective of this study was to investigate whether frailty is associated with functional outcomes, motion, and reoperation at a minimum of 2 years after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for proximal humerus fracture. We performed a retrospective study of 153 patients who underwent rTSA for proximal humerus fracture at two level 1 trauma centers from 2003 to 2018 with minimum 2-year follow-up. Frailty was assessed using the modified 5-item frailty index (mFI). The primary outcome variable was the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score at minimum 2-year follow-up. The secondary outcome variables were the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), the Shoulder Subjective Value (SSV), the 0 to 10 numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score, surgical complication, and reoperation. Bivariate comparisons were made between mFI and outcome variables. The mean age of the 153 patients was 70 years, and 76% were women. Forty patients (26%) had a mFI score of 0, 65 patients (42%) had a mFI score of 1, 40 patients (26%) had a mFI score of 2, and 8 patients (5%) had a mFI score of 3. Twenty-seven patients (18%) had complications, and 21 patients (14%) underwent reoperation. At minimum 2-year follow-up, mFI was not associated with ASES shoulder score, SPADI, SPADI pain or disability subscales, SSV, NRS pain score, active and passive shoulder forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation, complication, or reoperation. Provided they survive the initial physiologic insults of trauma and surgery, patients with higher mFI scores treated with rTSA for proximal humerus fracture can expect similar medium-term restoration of shoulder function.

Authors: Pham Anh Tuan , Truong Uyen Thao
Published: April 2023

The use of mobile learning has been investigated in many educational settings to support the effectiveness of mobile devices in teaching and learning. The study aims to explore students’ attitudes towards the use of mobile technology in higher education. To gain insight into students’ attitudes towards it, both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed from a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and a semi-structured interview with the participation of 118 students in a university. The results showed that students expressed highly positive attitudes towards the use of mobile technology in learning. The easy access to resources and course materials was most beneficial to students accompanied by enhanced communication with peers and instructors to help students achieve better academic scores. Besides, students could develop various skills through mobile learning such as computer skills, analytical skills, and note-taking skills. It is to suggest the implication of using mobile devices to support teaching and learning to improve the quality of education in higher education as a whole.
