The article presents the results of an experimental study on the processing of wastes from chrysotile-asbestos production at Kostanay Minerals JSC. An electrothermal technology for the extraction of magnesium and siliceous ferroalloy from the chrysotile-asbestos wastes is proposed. The influence of the amount of coke and steel shavings on the technological parameters of the obtained alloys is determined. The results of derivatographic and SEM analyses of the chrysotile-asbestos waste samples are presented. The studies included planning experiments using the second-order rotatable designs (Box-Hunter plans), graphical optimization of technological parameters, and electric melting of a charge in a graphite crucible using a single-electrode arc furnace. Adequate regression equations were obtained explaining the effect of the amount of coke and steel shavings added to the chrysotile-asbestos waste on the extraction degree of silicon into the alloy and the silicon concentration in the alloy. By the electric melting of the charge, high-quality FS25 grade ferrosilicon with a silicon content of 24.4-29.2% and FS45 grade ferrosilicon with a silicon content of 41.6-45% were obtained. It was established that FS45 grade ferrosilicon with the extraction degree of silicon into the alloy from 75 to 85.4% is formed in the presence of 33.6-38% of coke and 16-20.8% of steel shavings. FS25 grade ferrosilicon is formed in the presence of 30-38% of coke and 29.4-40% of steel shavings; the extraction degree of silicon is 68.6-73.8%.

Due to limited reserves of bauxite, nepheline can be used in the industrial production of alumina in Kazakhstan. The most promising deposit is the nepheline syenites of the Kubasadyr deposit. Currently, there is no effective technology for processing nepheline ores. High energy intensity, capital intensity and significant emissions into the atmosphere are the main drawbacks of the conventional technology of nepheline ore processing by sintering method. Efficient hydrochemical processing of nepheline requires pre-enrichment with the separation of a part of silica. According to the existing technology of chemical enrichment in an alkaline solution at a temperature of 280⁰С, the silica extraction degree is no more than 36%. A pre-roasting at 500⁰C is used to increase the extraction rate of silica and this process permits an increase in the extraction rate to 65%. The paper presents the results of the chemical activation of nepheline syenites in a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The optimum conditions of activation are determined. Activation at a temperature of 280 ⁰C resulted in a change in the phase composition of the feedstock and increases the degree of silica extraction up to 65,5%. The results obtained showed the possibility in principle of using hydrochemical enrichment technology for the resulting high-quality nepheline concentrate and replacing the energy-intensive roasting process.

Authors: Khan Hidayat , Hassan Faqir Sajjad Ul , Saleem Kashif
Published: May 2023

The goal of this research is to explore the factors that affect customers' intention to adopt Islamic banking in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and how attitude as a mediator plays a role in these factors. Based on the previous empirical research, we develop a model linking social influence as well as customer awareness and plan to use Islamic banking via attitude. In this cross-sectional study, a mix of the online and traditional methods of paper and pen survey approach was used. This gave us a total of 468 valid responses out of 700 questionnaires that were distributed. To test the proposed model, we used a partial least squares- structural equation model (PLS-SEM) with Smart PLS 3.2. The findings suggest that society has an effect and awareness influences customers' intention to use Islamic banking, and attitude is an important factor that shapes this intention. The study recommends that Islamic bank managers should focus on these factors to attract more customers. However, the study has limitations as it only includes a few factors and is limited to a specific geographical area of KP.
The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Green Investments on Sustainable Performance: The Mediating Role of Firm Financial Performance
Authors: Saher Kayenat , Zafar Muhammad Faheem , Siddique Qudsia
Published: May 2023

Several academics have looked at the current and future paths of sustainable development through the lens of green investment and corporate social responsibility (CSR) investment. Few people have looked into the links between green investments, CSR investments, and long-term success. Most of these studies have been about how CSR affects a company's bottom line. Sustainable performance is founded on triple- bottom-line thinking, also known as the people-planet-profit axis. 130 manufacturing companies that have been registered on the Pakistan Stock Exchange between 2019 & 2021 made up the sample for this study. The analysis reveals that investments in CSR (corporate social responsibility) and environmental preservation boost financial and long-term sustainability. On the other hand, financial performance doesn't change much when it comes to sustainable performance. Additionally, the impact of green investments on sustainable performance is mediated by financial performance. However, CSR investment cannot be mediated by financial success

Despite the importance of English language proficiency in Pakistan, many learners struggle to develop a positive attitude towards English language learning. Thereby, this qualitative research study aims to analyze the factors causing ESL (English as a Second Language) college students' demotivation to learn English. The researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with sixteen students from different colleges in Karachi. The study found that difficult course content, non- interactive teaching styles, using English as the medium of instruction, and teachers' attitudes were the major sources of demotivation among the participants. This study emphasizes the importance of motivation in English language learning among ESL students. These findings have implications for ESL teachers in designing effective interactive language instructions that can help students improve their motivation to learn English.
Presidential Verses Parliamentary Form of Government in Pakistan

The Amendment shall not be effective unless completely performed. The main element of the Amendment was the decentralization of the Power. At the federal and provincial levels, it was merely a concept. It has been highlighted, for instance, that the Federal Government has traditionally tended to direct these groups rather than advise them, undermining the core function of these bodies. The Federal Government issued policy directives that allowed regulatory bodies to operate independently. Similar to the National Finance Commission Awards, the Provincial Finance Commission Awards were necessary to fairly divide the funds to districts. Political, administrative, and financial accountability should be upheld as mandated by Articles 32 and 140 A of the Constitution.
MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LUNGS IN LABORATORY BALB/C MICE

Published: May 2023

Substantiation. Comparing the course of experimental pathological conditions in mice with human pathology requires deep knowledge of the morphology of the lungs of mice. Although it is advisable to obtain pathomorphological conclusions from an experienced pathologist, in reality, this is not always possible. Therefore, many scientists have to conduct such an analysis by themselves. The aim of the research was to study and describe the normal lung morphology of BALB/c mice for the improved characterization of phenotypes of experimentally induced lesions. Materials and methods. The study included 10 healthy male BALB/c mice, 8 weeks old, housed in individual conditions with unlimited access to food and water. Animals were euthanized by inhalation of ethyl ether. The lung necropsy was performed by tracheal infusion with 10% neutral buffered formalin. The research was carried out on paraffin sections of 3 μm, part of the left lung or one of the right lobes. Sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Schiff-iodic acid, and according to Mallory. Morphology was analyzed using a light microscope. Results. The applied method of euthanasia by inhalation with ethyl ether does not cause agonal changes in the lungs. Fixation by tracheal formalin infusion prevents lung collapse and ensures optimal morphology. For the study of experimental human pathology, it is optimal to examine the left lobe of the lungs, with its longitudinal orientation for obtaining sections, which is of great importance. A blinded way of describing microspecimens does not always provide the best result. Collagen deposits in the outer layer are observed around the large arteries of the lungs; goblet cells are rare, and only in large bronchi. Bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) is barely visible in healthy lungs of mice. Natural mouse pathogens can alter the physiology of the host, making it unsuitable for many experimental purposes, and although the number and prevalence of these pathogens have decreased significantly, many of them can be found in laboratory animals and are undesirable in research. Conclusion. Laboratory BALB/c mice may suffer from background diseases, regardless of satisfactory housing conditions, nutrition, and experimental pathology, which should be considered in the design and description of studies.

Abstract

Ambeu Preanger Pangalengan is a community of Arabica Java Preanger coffee connoiseurs and producers, located in Pangalengan. Along with the demand for the proliferation of producers and specialty coffee shops in Pangalengan, Ambeu Preanger assists several Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) related to the coffee industry in Pangalengan, namely Kawitan Coffee, Nagoya Coffee, Koffie Nyalse, Pangalengan Coffee House, Oeching Salapan, Ghoz Coffee, Sucker Soul, Coffee 4 Wheels, and Himmah Coffee. Then, from the survey process and data search in the field, we obtained information that not all SMEs in the coffee industry in Pangalengan have an ideal visual identity. In fact, they need a graphic visual identity as a representative of the image that will later be displayed on a website that is proclaimed as a digital storefront for these SMEs. Therefore, Telkom University team decided to design a graphic standard manual, which can help community to strive for a visual identity that is representative of their business, and is still in line with the brand image of Ambeu Preanger Pangalengan itself.

Abstrak

Ambeu Preanger Pangalengan adalah komunitas penggiat Kopi Arabica Java Preanger yang berlokasi di Pangalengan. Seiring dengan tuntutan menjamurnya produsen serta kedai kopi specialty di Pangalengan, Ambeu Preanger mendampingi beberapa UMKM yang terkait dengan industri kopi di Pangalengan, yaitu Kawitan Coffee, Nagoya Coffee, Koffie Nyalse, Rumah Kopi Pangalengan, Oeching Salapan, Ghoz Coffee, Sucker Soul, Coffee 4 Wheels, dan Himmah Coffee. Lalu, dari proses survey dan pencarian data di lapangan, kami memperoleh informasi bahwa belum semua UMKM industri kopi yang ada di Pangalengan memiliki identitas visual yang ideal. Padahal, identitas visual grafis diperlukan oleh mereka sebagai perwakilan citra yang kelak ditampilkan di sebuah website yang dicanangkan sebagai etalase digital dari para UMKM ini. Oleh karena itu, tim Pengabdian Masyarakat Telkom University memutuskan untuk merancang  panduan standar manual grafis, yang dapat membantu para mitra untuk mengupayakan hadirnya visual yang representatif sesuai dengan identitas bisnis yang mereka usung, serta masih sejalan dengan citra dari Ambeu Preanger Pangalengan itu sendiri.

The process of curing fish in Pakarena Hamlet is done simply by using a smoking house with a shelf made of bamboo. The condition of the fumigation house, which is not ergonomic, causes the temperature of the work environment to be very hot and smoky. The smoking process, which lasts about 7 to 8 hours, makes the fish smokers sit for a long time. This condition causes many health problems, including shortness of breath, sore eyes, chest palpitations, and pain in the waist. In addition to health problems, other problems encountered in this business are their low knowledge and skills in managing the business, especially in the aspects of production, marketing, and financial management. The purpose of this community service is to improve the knowledge and health of the mothers of the fish smoking group related to the work environment and ergonomic work attitudes, financial and marketing management, as well as the manufacture of ergonomic smoking houses. The methods used are counseling and making an ergonomic smoking house. The results of the service show an increase in knowledge related to ergonomics and work attitudes as well as marketing strategies and financial management. The fumigation house that is made has a larger and higher capacity, is equipped with adequate air ventilation, and is made of permanent walls so that it can avoid the accumulation of hot smoke and reduce the environmental temperature so as to reduce complaints and shortness of breath.

Konkurssioikeuden muotoutuminen varhaisen uuden ajan Euroopassa
Authors: Sallila Jussi
Published: May 2023

Eurooppalaisen konkurssioikeuden historiassa varhaisella uudella ajalla tapahtuneilla muutoksilla on keskeinen merkitys. Konkurssioikeus syntyi keskiajan kaupungeissa antiikin roomalaisen oikeuden pohjalta. Kaupan kasvu ja valtioiden aseman vahvistuminen muuttivat kuitenkin konkurssioikeuden soveltamisympäristöä varhaisella uudella ajalla merkittävästi. Konkurssioikeus erottui omaksi oikeudenalakseen ja konkursseja koskeva lainsäädäntö kehittyi aikaisempaa yksityiskohtaisemmaksi. Konkurssioikeuden uusia ongelmia säänneltiin muodostuvissa kansallisvaltioissa eri tavoin. Tutkimus pyrkii selittämään näitä eroja paitsi taloudellisilla kehityseroilla myös kulttuuriin liittyvillä tekijöillä. Historiallinen tausta auttaa ymmärtämään myös nykyistä konkurssioikeutta.

The effect of polydextrose on fecal bulk and bowel function in mildly constipated healthy adults: a double-blind, placebo controlled study
Authors: Risso Davide , Laurie Ieva , Sarkkinen Essi , Karnik Kavita
Published: May 2023

Background & Aims. Polydextrose (PDX) (8-30g/day) has been reported to increase faecal bulk and consistency, leading to easier stool passage. However, studies on its effect on defaecation frequency and colonic transit time have provided mixed results, and most focused on either healthy or highly constipated adults, leaving the question on if and how PDX could also aid mildly constipated individuals partially unanswered.Methods. We investigated the effects of PDX consumption by healthy subjects experiencing one or more symptoms of mild constipation on faecal bulk, defaecation frequency, stool consistency, ease of stool passage, and total colonic transit time to further characterize and generate additional evidence regarding the potential beneficial effects of this fibre. 51 subjects participated in a 4-week, two-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study testing a control (CON) and a PDX treatment (18 g/d included in biscuits and drink mixtures) (registered on clinicaltrials.gov with the identifier" NCT05309837").Results. Consumption of PDX resulted in 120.7 g and 25.7 g higher faecal wet and dry weight, respectively (p < 0.05). Colonic transit time was ~4 h shorter in the PDX group: although this difference did not reach significance (p > 0.05) as the study was underpowered to detect a statistical difference for this secondary outcome, this result still carries a physiological importance. Consumption of PDX was well-tolerated, with some PDX volunteers reporting more mild flatulence (p < 0.05).Conclusions. All in all, our study adds new evidence on how a moderate (18g) daily intake of PDX could increase faecal bulking and potentially shorten colonic transit time, making this ingredient a good candidate to be used to formulate, and reformulate, foods and beverages by replacing caloric carbohydrates with reduced caloric content, enriching food items easily consumed to enhance fibre intake and support bowel function.

Rhythmic Oscillations and Resonant Information Transfer in Biological Macromolecules
Authors: Brown William , Meijer Dirk
Published: May 2023

This manuscript is a concise review of a selection of key concepts concerning _rhythmic oscillations in proteins to human cognition_. All matter has an associated frequency, characterized by \(\nu\ =\ \frac{c}{\lambda}\), (where \(\lambda\) is the de Broglie wavelength for matter, \(\lambda\ =\ \frac{h}{p}=\ \frac{h}{\gamma m_0\upsilon}\)), or for the more realistic situation of an ensemble of atoms, the wave-packet dispersion relation \(\omega\ =\ \frac{\hbar k^2}{2m}\) (were \(\hbar\) is the reduced Planck constant, and _k _is the wave vector = \(2\pi p\) ). In large organic macromolecules and biopolymers of the living system, there are multiple vibrational modes and oscillatory frequencies, the resonances of which can facilitate molecular recognition, coupling with field modes, electromagnetic and Van der Waals interactions. Via harmonic rhythmic oscillations and resonances nanosecond-scale intermolecular interactions are highly coordinated to orchestrate the myriad complex biochemistry pathways of the cell. Importantly, this field-like interaction is integral in information processing and exchange occurring at the molecular level that underlie cellular intelligence, network intelligence, and perhaps even sentience and consciousness. We will review here the _resonant recognition model _of Irena Cosic and the scale-invariant acoustic information code of a superfluid quantum space described by Meijer.

Authors: Silvert Colby , Warner Laura A. , Diaz John , Gusto Cody , Mallinger Rachel
Published: May 2023

Urbanization and development of managed landscapes can harm pollinators by reducing flowers and vegetation and increasing exposure to chemicals. However, research shows that urban, developed landscapes can be designed and maintained to successfully provide habitats for diverse, healthy pollinator populations, including bees. Therefore, a major opportunity and need exist for residents, particularly those living in urban areas, to support bees and other pollinators by adopting pollinator gardening in their landscapes. Based on recent research about significant barriers and solutions, this publication intends to guide Extension agents and other practitioners on how to best encourage and facilitate adoption of pollinator gardening by addressing residents’ perceptions.

Berdasarkan pengamatan, penelitian, dan pengetahuan penulis menunjukkan bahwa Pada prinsipnya lelaki dan perempuan memiliki kesempatan untuk meningkatan kapabalitas, kompetensi pengetahuan diantaranya dengan cara belajar pada jenjang pendidikan tinggi. Namun, pada tataran realitas masih banyak terjadi disparitas terkait kesempatan meraih pendidikan yang selayaknya bagi perempuan yang disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor. Adapun penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif, dengan mengeksplorasi dan memeriksa data yang tersedia secara terstruktur dan mendalam. Jenis penelitian ini lebih menekankan menggunakan kepustakaan, kemudian analisis data dalam penelitian ini adalah mengunakan metode tafsi>r al-Maudhu>’i. Membangun pendidikan berkeadilan merupakan salah satu solusi dari terjadinya ketimpangan gender dalam pendidikan. Al-Qur’an menunjukkan isyarat kesetaraan dan keadilan antara lelaki dan perempuan sekalipun dalam makna yang terbatas, bahwa secara pandangan teologis semua manusia derajat kemanusiaannya sama di sisi Allah Swt, tidak ada perbedaan antara satu suku dengan yang lain. Tidak juga ada perbedaan pada nilai kemanusiaan antara lelaki dan seorang perempuan. Maka jika seluruh stake holder memiliki tujuan yang sama maka akan terwujud pendidikan yang terselenggara secara demokratis dan berkeadilan serta tidak diskriminatis dengan menjunjung tinggi hak asasi manusia, nilai keagamaan, nilai kultural dan kemajemukan bangsa.

Authors: Nur Fitria Tira , Uswatunnisa Uswatunnisa , Jacob Pattiasina Petrus
Published: May 2023

The objective of this research is to know the non-EFL students’ experience in making a project of English Speaking video as Project-Based Learning (PBL). This research is descriptive qualitative. The analysis shows that: students feel that speaking is a difficult skill in English, but they agree that the topic of the speaking project about ‘Introduction Myself & Others is “interesting”. In making an English project video, students make an Indonesian script then translate it into English, students read scripts when recording videos and almost do 5 times repetitions of making an English video project. The duration of making an English video project about more than 1 minute and 2 minutes duration.  During making an English project video, the students face difficulties, such as doing pause (pauses the message while thinking about what to say), doing filler (filling the gap in speaking with a certain voice (eeeeee, emmmmm, hmmm, and others), doing a mispronunciation/spelling error, doing a grammatical error, having a limited vocabulary, having trouble using accents in English, and having difficulty when expressing ideas. While, external students’ difficulties such as having mental problems, being easily distracted by their surroundings, having problems related to media (the audio/image is not clear), and having problems with lighting. By using video projects, students can know the vocabularies and how to read it in English, can know better English grammar, students can express ideas in speaking English, students feel courageous and confident in speaking English and they can improve their English speaking skills.
