De regering radeloos, het volk redeloos en het land reddeloos. Oftewel hoe crisiswetgeving, parlementaire beschaving en het luisterend oor van een honderdjarige dienstig zijn aan de aanpak van crises

De troonrede 2022 maakt gewag van diverse crises zonder dat (zoals in het verleden) crisiswetgeving daarop is aangepast. Eerdere crisiswetgeving en -rechtspraak bieden aanknopingspunten voor het afdwingen van normconform gedrag in crisistijd. In de troonrede 2022 wordt verder extra bescherming aangekondigd voor de ‘hoeders van de rechtsstaat’. Voor politici geldt echter dat zij zich van polariserend gedrag bewust moeten zijn. Ten slotte blijkt de 100-jarige politierechter nog steeds een ‘luisterend oor’ te bieden voor verdachten die menen dat door alle crises de regering radeloos, het volk redeloos en het land reddeloos is geworden.

Interne onderzoeken en de meewerkbeloning in corruptiezaken; goed voorbeeld doet goed volgen? Medewerking en zelfmelden door bedrijven in corruptieonderzoeken en de beloning die daar tegenover staat

Er is in Nederland geen regelgeving die enig voordeel garandeert voor een bedrijf dat een intern onderzoek uitvoert en de resultaten deelt met rechtshandhaving, als onderdeel van een zelfmelding of medewerking. In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op de huidige regelgeving in Nederland en wordt onderzocht of de regelgeving van het VK en de VS zowel in theorie als praktijk aanknopingspunten biedt voor nieuwe regelgeving voor Nederland. Het normatieve karakter van de meewerkbeloning in het VK lijkt bedrijven in corruptiezaken meer te stimuleren om zelf te melden en mee te werken dan het calculatieve karakter van de meewerkbeloning in de VS.

Ruslandsancties: over uitleg, vage normen en vragen bij de handhaafbaarheid ervan in de Nederlandse rechtstaat

De gewelddadige Russische inmenging in Oekraïne, die startte met de annexatie van de Krim, gaat bijna zijn tiende jaar in. Hoewel Nederland en de Europese Unie niet direct betrokken zijn bij deze oorlog, hebben zij sinds 2014 in toenemende mate sancties ingesteld tegen Rusland. Met name de Russische inval van Oekraïne eind februari 2022 zorgde voor een ongekende toename in het aantal afgekondigde sancties Tot dusver heeft de handhaving daarvan nauwelijks plaatsgevonden in Nederland. In de praktijk bestaat veel onduidelijkheid over de interpretatie van deze sancties. Dat roept bij ons de vraag op in hoeverre die onduidelijkheden rondom interpretatie de effectieve naleving en handhaving van de Ruslandsancties in Nederland in de weg staan.

Wat kan en wat mag, als het gaat om slecht levensgedrag? Annotatie bij ABRvS 3 augustus 2022, ECLI:NL:RVS:2022:2247

De ABRvS heeft lange tijd geoordeeld dat noch de wettekst, noch de wetsgeschiedenis tot een andere opvatting dwingen dan dat er geen beperkingen kunnen worden opgelegd ten aanzien van feiten of omstandigheden die bij de beoordeling van de toets op grond van slecht levensgedrag mogen worden betrokken. Afgelopen 25 mei 2022 kwam daar verandering in; de ABRvS introduceerde een verzwaarde motiveringsplicht bij slecht levensgedrag. Op welke wijze die verzwaarde motiveringsplicht verder handen en voeten zou moeten worden gegeven, kwam voor het eerst aan de orde in de in deze bijdrage geannoteerde uitspraak van de ABRvS van 3 augustus 2022.

The (Dia)Logics of Recognition and Repair – Why History Matters for Justice

Why is it necessary to talk about the past when it comes to justice? What characterizes recognition of historical injustice? And what is recognition anyway? In her inaugural lecture Nicole Immler examines the social dimensions of recognition and repair from structural violence: When do people feel seen, heard and recognized? In doing so, she focuses on the potential that recognition instruments have to bring about so-called transformative justice. Transformative justice shifts the focus from the legal to the social, to the meaning and impact of legal processes on the lives of those involved, whereby agency, relationship building and above all participation are key words. Transformative justice also balances a backward-looking liability and a forward-looking responsibility approach, by saying: Without knowledge of the past, meaningful repair – addressing the root causes of injustice – is impossible. Using the example ‘Dutch slavery past’, this article first discusses how limited our imagination is about what recognition means, and how it could be expanded. Subsequently, by making use of some other cases of historical injustice from the research project ‘Dialogics of Justice’, she advocates for broadening the conversation on recognition and repair by questioning the underlying structures that make us think recognition too often too narrowly.

Rehabilitation for Dutch draft dodgers in connection with the Indonesian war of independence

Between 1945 and 1949, ten thousands young men were, as conscripts for military service, sent to Indonesia, to join the Dutch colonial army in what at that time was called a ‘politionele actie’ (operation to restore order and security), but in fact was a war against the Indonesian Republican army fighting for independency. Some thousands of them refused to join, and were prosecuted and convicted to severe prison sentences. In February 2022, the Dutch government recognized – urged by the publication of the findings of three institutes that did research about the violence applied by the Dutch military during the independence war – that this violence was of a ‘structural extreme’ nature. Therefore, the refusers of military service have to be rehabilitated. The government up to today presented no proposals for a regulation of such a kind. Arguably, legislation is necessary to create that regulation. It would do justice to the refusers (a few of whom are still living), who by their choice were ‘on the right side of history’.

МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЙ ОПЫТ СОЦИАЛЬНОГО АУДИТА ПОЛИТИКИ В СФЕРЕ ПРОДУКТИВНОЙ ЗАНЯТОСТИ
Authors: Нурланова Маркен
Published: November 2022

В статье характеризуется международный опыт социального аудита политики в сфере продуктивной занятости. Для Казахстана  это относительно новое понятие и под ним понимается инструмент оценки достижения социального эффекта как конечного результата деятельности органов государственной власти по развитию общества. Рост продуктивной занятости и социального обеспечения является комплексной задачей, на решение которой нацелены государственные программы в различных отраслях национальной экономики. Оценивая результаты программы развития продуктивной занятости необходимо ростом доходов населения. Вопреки абстрактным цифрам роста ВВП и позициям Казахстана в мировых рейтингах, в последние 5 лет наблюдаются кризисные тенденции: сокращение доли трудовых доходов в общих доходах населения и почти двухкратный рост социальных трансфертов. Особенную тревогу вызывают нарастающее ухудшение показателей остроты и глубины бедности, скачок дифференциации в доходах социальных групп и регионов.

В отечественной статистике рассчитываются показатели «продуктивно занятые» и «непродуктивно занятые» только в составе показателя «Самостоятельно занятые работники». Между тем, если исходить из мирового опыта и здравого смысла, продуктивная занятость характерна для всех остальных групп в составе рабочей силы.

Изучив материалы аудита пяти европейских государств с лучшими практиками государственной политики в области занятости, были сформулированы некоторые методологические рекомендации для проведения государственного внешнего аудита с элементами социального аудита сферы продуктивной занятости. Аудит эффективности политики занятости и социального обеспечения в Казахстане может включать международный сопоставительный анализ; также опыт ВОГА европейских стран свидетельствует об исключительной информативности совместных или перекрестных аудитов со странами-партнерами, близких по экономическому и политическому уровню развития. Аудит проблемы безработицы среди молодежи NEET европейские аудиторы проводят с точки зрения эффективности системы образования, в частности, вопрос приведения планирования и содержания учебных программ в соответствие с реальными потребностями рынка труда.

Таким образом, в социальном аудите необходимо широко использовать метод интервью с соответствующими ответственными представителями властей, со всеми лицами-реципиентами бюджетных денег и услуг в рамках мер по продуктивному трудоустройству и социального обеспечения.
Digital learning framework for police mandatory courses: Its implication on the design of flexible learning management system for public safety
Authors: Romualdo Alvin
Published: November 2022

This study was carried out to assess the adoption of digital learning design for police mandatory leadership courses. It employed a sequential explanatory mixed-method research design, which involves collecting and analyzing quantitative data from respondents first, followed by collecting and analyzing qualitative data from informants. In terms of their perception towards the adoption of digital learning, results revealed that the police students strongly agree on the overall benefits and the plans and criteria for evaluation. Spearman’s Rho correlation result also revealed a significantly high positive correlation and relationship among the police students’ perception on effectiveness and ease, plans and criteria for evaluation, and overall benefits (rs(117) = 0.824, p<.001); (rs(117) = 0.798, p<.001); and (rs(117) = 0.879, p<.001) respectively. Issues on connectivity, data limit, data speed, interaction, intense requirement for self-discipline, and instructors’ competency are some of the bottlenecks they encountered in digital learning. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the training center must seriously consider upgrading the storage capacity of its instructional management system; allocate monthly budget to increase data or storage capacity; offer free internet with strong connectivity for all police students undergoing the training inside the training center; and upskill its personnel handling digital learning and the instructors who use digital platforms to increase their digital literacy and digital fluency and to ensure sustainability, efficiency, and continuity of digital learning which are all integral facets of its flexible learning management system.
Cultural factors and economic development issues
Authors: EL AMRI Adil , KOBIYH Miloudi
Published: November 2022

The economy is inevitably linked to culture and history. Culture extends to traditions, history and social heritage. Taking culture into account as a significant variable in economic development is indeed a debate of particular importance within economics. Broadening the study of development factors is a perspective that aims to integrate cultural factors into economic development models. This work presents culture and heritage both as an economic input and a tool for attractiveness and influence. This makes it possible to put into practice the interactions that exist between cultural aspects and economic factors. The objective of the article is to reflect on the importance and the way of integrating the cultural aspects that promote economic development and which constitute a decisive element in any design of development model. This consists of questioning first the role of cultural factors in social progress, then their coexistence with economic rationality and their place in economic policy as invisible factors of development.

Analytical evaluation of the influence of adding rubber layers on free vibration of sandwich structure with presence of nano-reinforced composite skins
Authors: Al-Shablle M. , Al-Waily M. , Njim E.K.
Published: November 2022

Developing structural designs that offer superior vibration properties is still a major challenge, but they stay solid and lightweight simultaneously. Composite faces are frequently used in insulating constructions as an alternative to sheet metal roofs. Rubber overlays have been added to reduce waves' natural frequency and fade time. The mechanical properties and the natural frequency calculation of the materials that make up the composite structural panels designed for structural applications with the addition of rubber layers were studied in this study. The results showed the addition of rubber layers with SiO2 nanoparticles with a density of 1180 kg m3, and the optimal decrease (VF = 2.5%) is 38.5% in the natural frequency while at a density of 1210 kg/m3, it is 40.2% in the natural frequency. While the addition of rubber layers with Al2O3 nanoparticles shows a density of 1180 kg/m3, the optimum reduction (VF = 2.5%) is 41% in HF while at a density of 1210 kg/m3 36.8% in an NF 41% during a density of 1210 kg/m3 38.4%. Certain hypotheses were used to apply Kirchhoff's theory to solve the mathematical model of the structure. The work was carried out on the faces of nanocomposites made of SiO2/epoxy and Al2O3/epoxy with different densities and polylactic acid core. The inclusion of nanoparticles as a percentage of the fraction size ranges from 0% to 2.50%. This study's results shed light on the fundamental behaviour of the components that make up the sandwich in the presence of rubber layers.
Educational Interventions to Improve Student Readiness
Authors: Kumar Bijeta , Sharma Bibhya , Chaudhary Kaylash , Paea Sione , Narayan Swasti
Published: November 2022

Many first-year students are seen to struggle to build resilience in their first year of post-secondary education just like racing cars. The journey of the first year or incoming university students is explained with an analogy of racing cars mainly an analogy for student learning based on the performance of race cars. To improve retention and first year experience, higher education institutes try to build resilience in students, they expect students to participate in campus activities and interact with other students and teachers from different backgrounds. But what about students’ expectations of their institution and how often institutions emphasize these training and engagement opportunities to their incoming students? An online student readiness intervention program has been designed to understand expectations and investigate predictors that promote resilience. The student readiness resilience intervention program includes three phases, which begin with a diagnostic assessment to determine individuals acquired knowledge and skills. The next phase helps prepare students by addressing the learning gaps from the results of the online tests through virtual events. The final phase includes personalized learning with mentors’ mobile coaching with an aim to build resilience by creating lasting habits and capabilities to enable first year students to remain calm and focused. This study further reviews various theories to identify process, trends, differences, and gaps to describe and critically analyse student readiness and effects of intervention programs. It will also provide useful critique and recommendations to transition leaders and educators in relation to the student resilience.

Published: November 2022

El primer caso notificado de COVID-19 fue en la ciudad de Wuhan, provincia de Hubei (China), y sucesivamente se han presentado múltiples casos de pacientes con neumonía por el nuevo coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Los laboratorios, en estos momentos, adquieren gran importancia como referente en el diagnóstico. El Laboratorio de Salud Pública del Distrito (LSP) fue el primero en estandarizar la prueba de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa con transcriptasa inversa (RT-PCR) en tiempo real en la ciudad, presentando uno de sus más grandes desafíos ante la nueva dinámica impuesta por el virus; su capacidad se vio ampliamente superada con el alto número de muestras que ingresaban en condición de emergencia al LSP. Se estableció la red de laboratorios –en tiempo récord– donde universidades y laboratorios clínicos de la ciudad aportaron para realizar el diagnóstico del virus, el Laboratorio de Salud Pública se centró en su función principal de apoyo a la vigilancia y ser el soporte de la estrategia establecida en el Distrito Capital. A 30 de noviembre de 2020, el Laboratorio de Salud Pública procesó 568.413 muestras para la identificación del nuevo virus con una positividad general del 20,48 %, y para los meses de julio y agosto –en que se presentó el primer pico– la positividad fue de 27,03 y 25,91 % respectivamente. Es indudable la contribución que ha tenido el laboratorio en este brote, aportando información a la vigilancia, en la coordinación del diagnóstico en la ciudad, y en el seguimiento del COVID-19

Authors: Ortega Realpe Claudia , Medina Edna Katalina , Fernández Oscar
Published: November 2022

La agricultura urbana contribuye a una alimentación saludable y a la seguridad y soberanía alimentaria, en población de escasos recursos. La pandemia generada por el COVID-19 generó impactos sociales en la ciudad a causa de la disminución en la productividad, lo cual aumentó el desempleo e impactó el ingreso de recursos económicos de las familias para suplir necesidades básicas como la alimentación. La Secretaría Distrital de Salud (SDS) impulso la estrategia de agricultura urbana con el objetivo de desarrollar acciones que permitieran a la población enfrentar los impactos sociales de la pandemia por COVID-19 en Bogotá, diseñando e implementando huertas agroecológicas en los entornos de vida hogar, educativo y comunitario, sin utilización de productos químicos, que brindaron alimentos a la comunidad en la ciudad en el periodo enero a septiembre del 2021. Se evidenció que el entorno de mayor producción de alimentos de manera saludable y sostenible fue el comunitario y las localidades con mayor extensión de vida en área sembrada fueron las que más ruralidad tienen como Sumapaz, Usme y Ciudad Bolívar. Los productos sembrados más relevantes fueron hortalizas y verduras, y en el entorno hogar las plantas medicinales y aromáticas. Se concluyó que hubo una buena recepción y aceptación de las acciones de agricultura urbana por parte de la comunidad, lo que contribuyó de manera integrada a la implementación de las dimensiones de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional, y de Salud Ambiental, del Plan Decenal de Salud Pública.

Published: November 2022

This investigation was undertaken to derive fewer independent common factors through principal component analysis to characterize 75% Landrace crossbreds. Records of 26 body measurements and weights at 4, 6 and 8 week from 279 crossbred (75% Landrace × 25% Bareilly local) piglets, born between September 2017 and April 2018 were used. Principal component analysis was done using PROC PRINCOMP Module of SAS 9.3 software. High correlation coefficients were observed among most of the morphometric and growth traits. Kaiser-Meyer- Olkin measure of sampling adequacy, Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity and communality at different ages were calculated. Three PCs were extracted at 4 week, two at 6 week and two at 8 week. These PCs accounted for 73.7, 73.76 and 75.45% variance, respectively of total variance. PC1 was represented by high loading of body length, heart girth and height at back at 4 week; and body length, heart girth and body weight at 6 and 8 week. PC2 had high loading for height at foreleg, height at shoulder, chest width and inner orbital width at 4 week; and height at foreleg, height at shoulder and snout circumference at 6 and 8 week. PC3 was characterized by snout circumference and ear length. PC1 seemed to explain the body of pig, i.e. general size; whereas PC2 seemed to represent the front view of the pig. Accounted PCs at different stage may be exploited in breeding and selection programmes to acquire highly coordinated animal bodies using fewer measurements.

Authors: RATHI ROBIN , KUKRETI MOHAN , BHATT DINESH
Published: November 2022

The wild animals cause losses to agriculture crop yields. The present study focuses on the assessment of agricultural damage caused by these wild animals in villages adjacent to protected areas and located in Najibabad forest division in Bijnor (Uttar Pradesh). The results showed that elephant (Elephas maximus) is the most problematic animal responsible for crop raiding followed by nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus). The sugarcane fields closer to the forest edge are raided more by elephants in comparison to rice, wheat and vegetables. This study recommended that active participation of stakeholders with the help of forest officials can help in mitigating crop raiding incidences in future.

The polymorphism of estrogen receptor (ESR) gene was detected by PCR-RFLP in China yellow, Korean and Beijing white quails and the association between ESR gene polymorphism and carcass traits of egg quails was analyzed. The results showed that there were three genotypes including CC, CT and TT detected in exon 1 and exon 8 of ESR gene in egg quails. The frequencies of CC genotype in exon 1 of ESR gene were the highest in China yellow, Beijing white and Korean quail (0.515, 0.614, 0.723). The highest frequencies of TT genotype in exon 8 of ESR gene were detected in Beijing white and Korean quails (0.618 and 0.540), while the highest frequency of CT genotype was detected in China yellow quail (0.476). As demonstrated in this study, there were significant correlations between exon 1 of ESR gene and body weight, carcass weight, breast muscle weight, heart weight and percentage of leg muscles in egg quails (P<0.05).

A half diallel cross between nine yellow inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L.) was evaluated under two environments, viz. borer artificial infestation conditions and normal conditions in RCBD with three replications in 2015 to estimate general and specific combining ability effects and identify superior genotypes resistant to Sesamia cretica. Highly significant cross mean squares were detected for all the studied traits indicating the wide diversity in the parental materials used in this study. General and specific combining ability (GCA and SCA) were significant for all the studied traits except SCA for number of rows/ear in normal condition revealing that both additive and non-additive gene effects were involved in determining the performance of the single cross progeny. The parental inbred line P6, P8 and P9 can be considered as good combiners for grain yield and some of its component traits under infestation and non-infestation conditions as well as the combined over them. Six crosses (P1Ã—P6, P1Ã—P7, P2Ã—P4, P3Ã—P5, P5Ã—P7, and P8Ã—P9) selected based on desirable SCA effects also had high mean performance for grain yield and out-yielded the check hybrid SC 166. Therefore, these crosses could be utilized for future breeding work as well as for direct release after confirming the stability of their performance across different environments. The information from this study may be useful for researchers who would like to develop high yielding hybrids of maize tolerant to borer attack.

The current study was carried out to determine combining ability and association of yield and yield components in 7 Ã— 7 half-diallel crosses of ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula Roxb.) at ICAR-IARI, New Delhi in the year 2016. Twenty one F1 hybrids along with seven parental lines were grown in randomized block design in three replications. The mean square due to GCA and SCA were highly significant for all the characters indicating the importance of additive and non-additive genetic components for the traits under study. Further, SCA variance was more than GCA variance for all the characters which suggested the importance of non-additive variance for the improvement of these characters. The parental lines Pusa Nutan, DRG-7, DRG-71 and Pusa Nasdar were good combiners for most characters under study including yield and mineral nutrients. The hybrid combination of Pusa Nutan Ã— Arka Sujat, Pusa Nasdar Ã— Co-1 and Pusa Nasdar Ã— Swarna Uphar were found to be most promising combinations for earliness, yield, mineral content and other economic traits of interest. Significant positive correlations were observed between yield and fruit length, average fruit weight and number of fruits per plant. The results indicated the importance of heterosis breeding for effective utilization of non-additive genetic variance in ridge gourd.

SPHEROIDAL BASIS OF THE GENERALIZED
MIK-KEPLER PROBLEM
Authors: Petrosyan Mara , Avanesyan Eleonora
Published: November 2022

Super integrated systems have an extremely important property: they allow the separation of variables in the Hamilton-Jacobi and Schrödinger equations in several orthogonal coordinate systems. The choice of a specific coordinate system is dictated by considerations of convenience, for example, the spectroscopic problem of hydrogen-like systems uses a spherical coordinate system, when considering the Stark effect - a parabolic coordinate system, and in the two-center problem - elongated spheroid coordinates. This abundance of separation of variables in the Schrödinger equation for super integrated systems leads to the problem of interphasic decompositions, i.e. there is a need to move from one wave function to another. The generalized MIC-Kepler problem in spherical coordinates is considered as an explicit form of the additional motion integral and the generalized MIC-Kepler problem in spheroid coordinates is given
Λ ̂=M ̂+(R√(μ_0 ))/ℏ Ω ̂^((s) )
main function of which is the spheroid basis and three-membered recurrent relations are derived to which the decomposition coefficients of the spheroid basis according to spherical and parabolic bases as well.

Analysis was done on the efficiency of moisture accumulation and counterflow action in tiered tillage. It was discovered that post-forest silty-gravel soils in the foothill, mid-mountain, and mountain zones of Artsakh, located at an altitude of 600-1300 m above sea level, where the average annual amount of precipitation varies between 490-600 mm, are light-brown, brown, and dark-brown in color. According to the findings of the study, the tiered method of basic soil cultivation by its moisture accumulation and the anti-erosion effectiveness is superior to the anti-erosion measures applied in the traditional ploughshare tillage system. In the case of tiered method of cultivation, water from atmospheric precipitation is well absorbed in deep cracks developed in the soil, it prevents surface and subsoil flow on slopes, and during freezing in winter and thawing in spring, it provides self-loosening of the soil. High yields are produced as a result of water retention and organic matter mulch on the soil surface, which reduce ineffective moisture loss and runoff.

While most people celebrate Thanksgiving, many Native Americans pause for a National Day of Mourning. Their National Day of Mourning represents the truth of Thanksgiving. Most people in the U.S. were taught that Thanksgiving is when “the Pilgrims and Indians celebrated” which isn’t true at all. Yet the myth of the first Thanksgiving is still taught in schools and passed on in homes.
Decades of longing and effort towards a sense of community: A multiple case study on immigrants in the United States
Authors: Mosqueda Melanie
Published: November 2022

Objectives This exploratory study aims at investigating the effort, struggle, and inner drive of immigrants towards US citizenship and higher socio-economic status (SES). Methods This is a multiple case study with a qualitative approach. With non-probability convenience sampling, we selected five cases from the Los Angeles area for in-depth interviews. A thematic method along with the four-element framework on sense of community by McMillan & Chavis (1986) were employed for data analysis. Results Although each participant’s journey towards citizenship and higher SES is unique, the cross-case data synthesis presented a clear uniformity of deep desire and willing sacrifices for a sense of community among the participants. Conclusion While citizenship and SES can be seen as enticing rewards or even "purse strings" for which immigrants are willing to work hard, what immigrants truly long for is a sense of community. It is this longing that drives immigrants to overcome adversities and rise up to build strong communities anywhere they settle.

What if carbon drives our design from the outset?
Authors: Norman James
Published: November 2022

This article considers the implications of adopting a carbon-driven design approach – with the express intent of limiting the embodied carbon of the structure. It examines the impact this approach will have on a number of key design decisions – material choice, grids and spans, loads, structural system, foundations, serviceability requirements, facade type and method of construction – and highlights the tensions that may arise between these and the low-carbon goal. The article argues that opting for timber as the initial material choice will likely offer greater flexibility and leave open the option of switching to another material later in the design process should the need arise.

Published: November 2022

Over the years, the growing interest for bio-based alternatives to mineral products (i.e. fuel and lubricant) to save energy and improve environmental friendliness has become one of the most researched topics. According to world meteorological organization (WMO), Concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) reached 420.23 parts per million in April, 2022. In this research, the extract from baobab nuts was purified, degummed and epoxidized to form Bio-lubricant. The physicochemical properties of the formed bio-lubricants were determined and are within the index of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) at different temperatures and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) with two different acids were conducted on the products. The results depicted minimal changes with repeated oxidation at higher temperature and different acids respectively. A four-stroke spark ignition engine at three different speeds was used to validate the bio-lubricant by compared with SAE40 performances. Four engine parameters considered: specific fuel consumption (SFC), brake thermal efficiency, brake power and brake mean effective pressure. The bio-lubricant maintained a low values trend for the four parameters at engine speeds of 2000rpm, 2500rpm and 3000rpm with exception of brake thermal efficiency that depicts high value of 56% at both 2000rpm and 3000rpm. The SI engine lubricated with SAE40 has higher CO, HC and CO2 emissions.
