Automated Tank Water-level Monitoring system (Overflow and Underflow) using Sensors
Authors: S.Porkodi  , K.M.Annammal  , S.Karuppasamy  , S.Aron  , J.Thesai Jebas
Published: August 2022

In daily life, water supply is very necessary for every activity and functions as water consumption. In
urban areas where water supply is regulated for a specific time, a person must be present at that specific
time to turn on their water pumps and store water in their water storage tank, and also the water tank is
empty (the water level is below the tank ). If they are not present at that time, they have to go through
hardships caused by a lack of water. It intelligently (without the need of any person) turns on the motor
when the water is supplied and turns off the motor when the tank is filled. Nowadays, more and more
people turn on the motor and forget to turn it off, causing waste of water and electricity due to
overflowing of the water tank. The system is designed using an ultrasonic sensor, an automatic switching
module, an IOT based ultrasonic sensor, and a pumping machine for automatic water filling switching.
When using an ultrasonic sensor, an ultrasonic transmitter is mounted on the top of the tank, which sends
an ultrasonic pulse down into the tank. The motor will remain on and fill the tank until another water
sensor in the tank signals the ultrasonic sensor that the tank is full. When the tank is full, the ultrasonic
sensor with the received signal will automatically turn off the water pump motor. When the tank is empty,
the ultrasonic sensor with the received signal automatically turns on the water pump motor. This
eliminates the need for a person to be physically present in time to turn on/off the water pump motor. It
will be used, people will enjoy the water supply without worrying about spilling water and wasting
electricity

Islands of the Tectonic Origin in the Shatt Al-Arab River, Southern Iraq
Authors: Albadran Badir N. , Khaleefah Usama Q.
Published: August 2022

Several factors control the formation of river islands, such as tectonic factors, sedimentation, erosion, and human activities. This research is concerned with islands in the Shatt Al-Arab channel, which are likely to be traced back to tectonic factors in their formation. The islands of the Shatt Al-Arab River are distributed along its axis starting from the islands of Sindbad and Muhammadiyah, 15 km to the north of the city center of Basra, to the islands of Shatit, Al-Dawasir and Minauhi, 70 km south of the city center of Basrah. This study area is part of the Mesopotamia Plain, southern Iraq. The fieldwork period extended from the beginning of September 2012 to June 2013, which included making subsurface sections (longitudinal and transverse) of the bottom of the Shatt Al-Arab channel using the Sub-bottom profile Strata box device, imaging the topography of the river bottom in a side scan sonar, collecting the bottom sediments by a grab sampler. The volumetric analysis method uses the Master Sizer device based on the Folk classification to calculate the volumetric gradient of sediments. The study showed that the tectonic factor has a prominent role in the growth island Maino and as a result of the presence of sub-surface structures for the structure of the Siba, which appeared to affect the subsurface layers of the river bed near the island as it appeared in the survey sections of the Strata box device. There are some islands that more than one factor emerged as a reason for their formation and development, as in the islands of Muhammadiyah and Umm al-Rasas, where tectonic and sedimentary factors interfered in their formation and development due to the influence of sub-surface structures as well as the influence of nearby rivers such as the Karma and Karun Rivers.

Authors: Faraj Muna Kh. , Abood Mohammed R. , Khider Mohanad E.
Published: August 2022

In Iraq, the majority of rock slope instability issues along highways result in road deterioration or collapse. Among these is located along Bazian-Basara main road on the southwestern limb of the Bazian anticline fold. For the study of this problem, stations along the road within Sinjar and Pila Spi formations are selected. The study included an investigation of the slopeʾs stability and the occurrence and potential failures. The stability of the slopes was evaluated using the SMRTool-v205 software, which is used to classify the condition and degree of the slopeʾs stability. The stability analysis results demonstrate the possibility of wedge sliding and direct toppling occurrence in the stations 4,8, and 10, thus, described as unstable slopes and need important intervention. Whereas the dominant failure modes in stations 3,4,6,7,9, and 10 and stations 1 and 5 in the slope with a dip of 90̊ are direct toppling, flexure toppling, and wedge sliding, therefore, described as normal and partially stable slopes and need to systematic monitoring. As well as, direct toppling is the dominant failure mode in stations 1 with a slope of dip 20̊ and stations 2,5, and 7 which are classified as good and stable slopes but need to be monitored occasionally.

Published: August 2022

The current study aims to detect subsurface geologic features using 3D dense sampling seismic data in the Fatha Formation, in the Chia Surkh area, Kurdistan Region,Iraq. A3D cube seismic data covering 75 Km2 were used to image the Fatha Formation subsurface geologic structures. The seismic data and appropriate information were gathered from Pet Oil Company with the permission of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Kurdistan Region, Iraq. A cube of seismic data was used to image the three units of the Fatha Formation. In this study, forty seismic sections with the direction of NE-SW and 30 crossline sections of NW-SE direction were used. The map shows the existence of several features such as a three-way dip closure elongated NW-SE and extended through the whole study area. The reflector three of the Fatha isochron map shows TWT ranging from 890 ms to 1720 ms. The depth map of Fatha unit 1 Formation, shows depth with seismic reference datum ranging from 838 m to 2334 m. The study concluded the existence of several structural features; a major anticline trending with Zagros belt trend, and three longitudinal systematic reverse faults on the southwest side of the anticline, leading to the possibility for which the area is considered as a prospective oil reservoir, might work as a good trap, an anticline, evaporites work as a seal and limestone rocks as a reservoir.
Consumer Handwashing Tracker
Authors: Heard Helen
Published: August 2022

Between April 2020 and January 2022, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) commissioned a quarterly survey on consumer handwashing. Key findings from this survey are: Across all waves of the handwashing tracker, participants were most likely to report washing their hands with soap and warm water. However, the proportion who reported handwashing with soap and warm water ‘always’ or ‘most of the time’ declined over time (79% April 2020, compared to 68% in January 2022). Most participants reported washing their hands for between 20 and 24 seconds across all waves. However, the proportion who reported this significantly declined over time (was 35% in April 2020, down to 27% in January 2022). Over time, there was a significant decrease in the proportion of participants who reported ‘always’ washing their hands in the following scenarios inside the home: before cooking/preparing food (72% in April 2020, 62% in January 2022) before eating (48% in April 2020, 42% in January 2022) after handling rubbish (73% in April 2020, 65% in January 2022) when arriving home, after a trip outside of the home (55% in April 2020, 47% in January 2022) Reported handwashing after contact with animals (including pets) remained broadly stable over time. On average, across all waves, 36% of participants with a pet reported washing their hands ‘always’ after contact with animals, (whilst 26% reported doing this ‘most of the time’, 30% reported doing this ‘sometimes’ and 7% reported ‘never’ washing their hands after contact with animals). Over time, there was a significant decrease in the proportion of participants who reported ‘always’ washing their hands in the following scenarios outside of the home: when eating a picnic (35% in July 2020, 29% in January 2022) when consuming a takeaway outside of the home (35% in July 2020, 30% in January 2022) Since a peak in October 2020 (43%), the proportion of participants who reported ‘always’ washing their hands after blowing their nose, sneezing or coughing into their hands gradually declined and was significantly lower in January 2022 (35%). The proportion of participants who reported ‘always’ washing their hands after using the toilet also declined over time. In April 2020 87% of participants reported ‘always’ washing their hands after using the toilet, decreasing significantly to 80% in January 2022. Across all waves, most participants reported carrying and using hand sanitising gel as a hand washing alternative in a range of scenarios, but the proportion who reported doing this declined over time. For example: 55% of participants reported using hand sanitising gel after using public transport in October 2020, declining significantly to 44% in January 2022 54% of participants reported using hand sanitising gel when attending a social event in October 2020, declining significantly to 45% January 2022.

Published: August 2022

The purpose of the study was to understand cultural factors and their influence on the financial literacy of Wulandoni traditional barter market traders in Lembata Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. This study uses a qualitative and quantitative approach. Data were collected by observation and in-depth interviews with selected informants. Questionnaires were distributed to 50 barter market traders who were determined randomly to determine the influence of culture on financial literacy using statistical measuring tools. The results showed that the barter market activity decreased from time to time in terms of quantity, quality, and execution time. Market participants who use barter and money systems are increasing. The factor that makes the barter market survive is the reason for the cultural traditions passed down from generation to generation. The traders believe that this tradition should not be violated because it will wreak havoc on them. The financial literacy of traders is in a low category in terms of general knowledge of finance, savings, loans, insurance, and investment. The statistical tests show a significant influence between culture and financial literacy on barter market traders. For this reason, in addition to strengthening cultural traditions, it is necessary to improve the financial literacy and cultural literacy of traders and the community, especially the younger generation, to continue to preserve barter market activities in Wulandoni

Published: August 2022

The online teaching accelerated at an unprecedented pace in the wake of the physical closure of educational institutions in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. This study is based on a survey of mature undergraduate students in private higher education institutes in the South of England and their experience with online teaching during the COVID-19. The questionnaire was sent out to mature undergraduate students studying in three private higher education institutes, and we received 225 responses. A quantitative approach was used to analyse the results. Majority of students 95% were using online teaching for the first time, and they were novice with the online teaching software (Zoom and Microsoft Teams, etc.). They were provided with training for online teaching, especially how to use the software, and they were satisfied with the training. The study also identified challenges students faced during the online teaching such as weak Internet connection, old devices (computer and laptop etc.) low level of digital competency especially among older students, lack of technical support from the institute and stressful transition period. The final findings from the study indicated that the quick decision of switching to online teaching was right, and the majority of students found online teaching excited. Consequently, the majority of students wanted to continue online teaching after the COVID-19 because it provides ease and convenience, no travelling time & cost, freedom and autonomy. The online teaching training for students could be made more effective, and private higher education institutions could also address challenges such as weak Internet connection and old devices (computer, laptop, etc.).

Engel Parkuru: Yaşlılarda Fonksiyonel Mobilite ve Denge Değerlendirmesi
Authors: YILMAZ Hasan , GÜRPINAR Barış , TUNA Hülya , İLÇİN Nursen
Published: August 2022

Engel parkuru (EP), bireylerin ya da takımların belli bir zaman diliminde aşması gereken fiziksel engeller serisidir. EP uygulamaları, amacına yönelik olarak yürüme, koşu, tırmanma, sıçrama, sürünme, denge veya zihinsel parametreleri yerleştirilerek farklılaştırılır. Yaşlı popülasyonda, denge ve hareketlilik problemlerini belirlemek ve tedavi etmek amacıyla, parkurdaki engeller günlük yaşamda karşılaştıkları aktiviteleri simule edecek şekilde tasarlanır. Bu grupta kullanılan EP’ler genel olarak; farklı zeminler, çeşitli yükseklikteki engeller, merdiven ve rampa gibi engellerden oluşur. Literatürde yürüme, engel üzerinden atlama, merdiven çıkma, farklı zeminlerde yürüme gibi çeşitli bölümlerden oluşan EP örnekleri yer almaktadır. Ancak hem değerlendirme hem de tedavi amacıyla kullanılan engel parkurlarının içeriği (süresi, engel sayısı, uzunluğu, kullanılan materyal) konusunda bir standardizasyon bulunmamaktadır. EP’ler farklı özelliklerde yapılandırılmış olsalar da en büyük avantajları, gerçek yaşamdaki fonksiyonel görevlerin simüle edilmesi ve bu görevlerin gerçekleştirilmesi sırasında, kişi-çevre ilişkisinde dinamik denge ve mobilite hakkında işlevsel olarak yönlendirilmiş bilgi sağlama yetenekleridir. Yaşlılarda düşmeleri önlemeye yönelik egzersiz programları gün geçtikçe daha fonksiyonel olmaya başlamasına karşın düşme öyküsü olan yaşlılarda denge ve düşme değerlendirmeleri genellikle laboratuvar ya da klinik testler ile yapılmaktadır. Denge değerlendirmesinde kullanılan bu testler çoğunlukla bireyin günlük yaşamdaki aktivitelerini ve günlük yaşamda karşılaşılan sorunları yansıtmaktan uzaktır. Engel parkurları kişinin günlük yaşamda karşılaşılan engeller karşısında denge ve diğer parametreleri ölçmesi ve tedavi olanağı sunması açısından önemli avantajlar sağlamaktadır.

Discourse analysis of the US War on Terror policy in Afghanistan
Authors: Mehmood Shahid , Sulaiman Sadia , Jabbar Abdul
Published: August 2022

This paper discusses discourse analysis on the “war on terror” after 9/11. It argues that the USA framed a specific discourse based on securing and legitimizing its political and strategic objectives in the war on terror in Afghanistan. This study uses the qualitative method of discourse analysis to analyse official texts and key statements by the U.S. Government on the war on terror after 9/11. It explains that the U.S. discourse on the war on terror resulted from the geo-strategic overstretch policy. The withdrawal of the U.S. from Afghanistan was a failure of discourse; however, it questioned the rationale of the protracted war on terror. Political and strategic discourses help to frame a policy in an ideational perspective while the reversal of discourses indicates a paradigm shift based on sheer rationality. The study has far-reaching implications for future research particularly in the case of hegemonic discourse which tends to fail or reverse the U.S. discourse about countering terrorism in Afghanistan. It reveals the fact that discourses are constructed much for public consumption and the U.S. strategy of withdrawal from Afghanistan is primarily based on domestic economic and political considerations.

Published: August 2022

Community is the most vulnerable to climate change. Engaging community is an important factor for the effectiveness and efficiency of the climate change policy and Proklim is one of solutions to implement it. Proklim is regulated through the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation Number P.84/MENLHK-SETJEN / KIM.1 / 11/2006 concerning the Climate Village Program and the regulation of the Director General of Climate Change Control No. P.1/PPI/SET/KUM.1/2/2017 concerning Climate Change Guideline. This study aims to analyze the forms of community participation in Proklim. The method used is a qualitative method with a juridical-empirical approach. The study found that the implementation of Proklim uses a top down approach, where the program was born not based on community initiation but came from the government, the community only acted as program beneficiaries without being actively involved. Mitigation programs are generally developed than adaptation programs. In addition, it is important to create an engaging mechanism. The existence of community groups and community leaders and the availability of supporting tools are important factors in creating the sustainability of ProKlim. This program is expected to increase public understanding of climate change and its impacts, so that lifestyle changes can adapt to it.
Rainfall variability and availability of water resources in the last 40 years in Western Bahia, Brazil
Authors:   , Santos Raphael Pousa dos
Published: August 2022

In recent decades, the increased demand for food, both nationally and internationally has driven agricultural expansion in Brazil. Biophysical, social, and economic factors have made Brazilian Cerrado one of the biomes with the greatest capacity to occupy its territory with crops. This expansion has started in the 1970s, and currently, the Brazilian Cerrado accounts for 40% of the national agricultural production. Western Bahia is one of the most active agricultural frontiers globally in this biome, with a rapid increase in agricultural and irrigated areas. This study aims to make a hydrological, climatic, and water availability analysis and the impacts that this growth can caused in the last 40 years, from 1980 to 2020. First, considering the period 1980-2015, a climate analysis showed a significant reduction in rainfall of up to 12% since the 1980s, and a reduction in river flows, both for dry and rainy seasons. Seven sub-regions in Western Bahia were identified with a potential risk of conflicts over water use. These regions experienced a 150-fold increase in the irrigated area since 1990s and 90% from 2010 to 2018. In recent years, these conflicts have become more frequent due to a combination of factors: climate variability, increased demand for water resources, and continued trends of decreasing precipitation. Second, in a complementary analysis, extending the analysis period to 2020, it was investigated how the interaction of large-scale (represented by Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation – AMO) and mesoscale (topography) processes can affect the region’s climate variability. Precipitation and river discharge data indicate a continued reduction. Precipitation has decreased by 11.5% since 1980s. The rainiest bimester, December and January (DJ), indicated a significant negative correlation with AMO (R = -0.62, α = 0.01), showing that precipitation decreases in DJ when the AMO index is positive. Within these 40 years, the five rainiest and driest DJs were selected. The rainiest ones showed that large-scale mechanisms interact with the local topography, promoting a stronger convection and high rainfall rates over the region. There is a regional suppression of convection for this driest DJ bimesters, including over the topographic gradient, shifting the convection center further west, and decreasing rainfall in Western Bahia. The climate variability in the region and the intense growth of irrigation have made the potential of conflicts over water use more frequent. Furthermore, with the continuous increase in North Atlantic temperatures, it is unlikely that the wet climatic conditions existing before the early 1990s will return. Thus, precipitation in the region will be affected, putting pressure on water availability and directly impacting economic activities dependent on climate. Keywords: Climate change. Water security. Hydroclimatic analysis.

Advances in technology and information have opened up great opportunities for the community, especially for the world of education. Therefore, educational institutions or organizations must have strategies in dealing with changes in student interaction patterns on information technology devices and how schools face the development of the digital era. This research is a research that explores the strategy of education providers in the use of digital literacy as a medium to improve the quality of learning. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative analysis with a qualitative approach that focuses on substantive and formal theories as well as events that exist and are recognized as true. The strategy of the education provider organization in utilizing digital literacy at the IT Baitul Muslim High School in East Lampung has been going well so far, because the digital literacy program had been implemented in the school environment long before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. So that the learning process with digital literacy is nothing new for schools and students. Although in this case the improvement of teacher competence continues to be pursued as one of the school's strategies to improve teacher competence to actualize learning and the potential of students in digital literacy learning

The study sought to find out the challenges and opportunities posed by the current curriculum when including learners with conduct disorders in mainstream primary schools in Nkayi District in Zimbabwe. Using a qualitative approach focusing on a case study design data was generated from Fifteen participants (1 school head, 4 mainstream teachers, and 10 learners with conduct disorder) were purposively selected. All participants were interviewed individually. Theme identification methods were used to analyse data. The findings showed that all students showing signs of conduct disorder were mostly taught by regular class teachers in the mainstream. Despite having mainstream teachers and a specialist teacher, learners with conduct disorders could not perform well in their academic work as all mainstream teachers were not conversant with ways of identifying and managing learners with conduct disorders in primary school. It was revealed that there was a lack of proper guidance and counselling and parental involvement in dealing with learners with conduct disorders. Learners with conduct disorders were socially included but were academically excluded because of lack of measures to manage learners with conduct disorders for them to access the academic curriculum in the primary schools. For learners with conduct disorders to fully access the curriculum, this study recommended that teachers should be fully capacitated to manage learners with conduct disorders, reduced teacher-pupil ratio in primary schools, involve parents in the management of learners with conduct disorders and capacitate school guidance and counsellors.

Published: August 2022

Zimbabwe has adopted an inclusive education system in order to address barriers to learning for children with conduct disorders. The management of learners with conduct disorders is hampered by the lack of teachersâ€™ skills and knowledge in guidance and counselling of learners with conduct disorders. In this paper, the researcher identifies the challenges in the management of learners with conduct disorders in Nkayi District primary schools and explores suggestions on the best and convenient ways of managing these learners. A qualitative research approach and a phenomenological research design were employed in which ten teachers in rural primary schools were interviewed to solicit their views, experiences and observations on the management of learners with conduct disorders in primary schools. The study concluded that the management of learners with conduct disorders in rural primary schools may not be successful without considerate guidance and counselling modalities in schools.

Published: August 2022

The domestic apprenticeship program in Lampung Province still encounters problems, such as the socialization process that is carried out less than optimally so that only a few companies are interested in collaborating. As a result, the company's recruitment implementation has not been able to achieve the specified target. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the domestic apprenticeship program and identify the factors supporting and inhibiting the implementation of the domestic apprenticeship program in Lampung Province. The study was conducted with a qualitative descriptive approach using 4 program evaluation indicators consisting of input evaluation, process evaluation, outcome evaluation, impact evaluation (Wirawam, 2016). The results of this study indicate that the overall achievement of this domestic apprenticeship program is quite good so that this program can be continued by modifying or improving some that are less effective in order to achieve maximum results/targets for the coming year. Supporting factors in this domestic apprenticeship program are supported by complete facilities and infrastructure to support program implementation and are supported by competent instructors in training and guiding participants and inhibiting factors: lack of human resources, lack of commitment, domestic apprenticeship programs have not gone hand in hand with independent campus internship program and insufficient incentives.

Correctly interpreting an Electroencephalography (EEG) signal with high accuracy is a tedious and time-consuming task that may take several years of manual training due to its complexity, noisy, non-stationarity, and nonlinear nature. To deal with the vast amount of data and recent challenges of meeting the requirements to develop low cost, high speed, low complexity smart internet of medical things (IoMT) computer-aided devices (CAD), artificial intelligence (AI) techniques which consist of machine learning and deep learning plays a vital role in achieving the stated goals. Over the years, machine learning techniques have been developed to detect and classify epileptic seizures. But until recently, deep learning techniques have been applied in various applications such as image processing and computer visions. However, several research studies have turned their attention to exploring the efficacy of deep learning to overcome some challenges associated with conventional automatic seizure detection techniques. This paper endeavors to review and investigate the fundamentals, applications, and progress of AI-based techniques applied in CAD system for epileptic seizure detection and characterisation. It would help in actualising and realising smart wireless wearable medical devices so that patients can monitor seizures before their occurrence and help doctors diagnose and treat them. The work reveals that the recent application of deep learning algorithms improves the realisation and implementation of mobile health in a clinical environment.

Published: August 2022

The purpose of this study was to understand children’s engagement in environmental conservation in Saku constituency, Marsabit   county Kenya. The specific objectives this study was to investigate the effectiveness reforestation efforts, awareness creation, environmental clean-up and the role played by children in resource mobilization for environmental conservation in Saku Constituency. The study used the ladder of participation model developed by Hart which identifies eight levels of children’s participation in projects. It is designed to encourage those working with the children to think more closely about the nature and purpose of children’s participation in community activities. The research used mixed methods approach. The target population was school-going children and the teachers in Saku Constituency. The researcher used questionnaires as a tool for data collection with a sample size of 72 participants. The study finding revealed that schools have made very great strides in ensuring and promoting reforestation efforts by the students and the schools have done well. Most of the students are taught environmental conservation in their schools as it is part of the syllabus and also participation in environmental clean-up exercise by both teachers and students in the school and in the local community clearly shows that environmental conservation is on the rise in the schools, lastly the study found out that most schools have not set aside resources for environmental conservation and they rarely receive funds for such activities and for those few schools who receive such funding are from the NGOs. The study also observed that lack of water and drought has been a major challenge when it comes to environmental conservation activities such as planting trees and clean-up exercises. The study recommends that the county government of Marsabit county set aside funds to help schools set up tanks to harvest rainwater rainy seasons and also for other environmental activities where financial assistance is needed. The study further suggests the school environmental club with the help of other stakeholders can expand environmental activities outside the school for example in market centers and in the villages so that environmental conservation is not only practiced in schools, and further sensitize the community members on the importance of environmental conservation.
