Authors: Greenwood Lisa L. , Hess Dawn , Abraham Yewande , Schneider Jennifer
Published: August 2023

Disruption is an inevitable factor in business and society, while inability to mitigate and manage risk can cause irreparable damage to business, the economy, and our ways of life. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened interest in standards-based strategies for risk management and crisis preparedness to enhance organizational and societal resilience. University curricula that integrate national and international standards offer students a rich skill-set for effective performance in their careers. Moving forward, we must cultivate capable professionals who understand the challenges and risks facing society, and who grasp standards and systems for strategic planning, response, and recovery to promote organizational resilience and sustainable development. This paper focuses on the effectiveness of integrating risk management and continuity standards into university curricula, based on implementation at a large private university and regional community college in the Northeastern United States. We propose and evaluate a modular approach to introduce students to specific national and international standards, and teach them to identify and apply relevant standards based on the locally driven, whole community nature of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Education using standards-based curriculum and the competencies that result will be key to readiness for tomorrow’s graduates.

Published: August 2023

In today's world, the importance of physical activity for daily life continues to increase. However, it cannot be said that the level of interest of our society in physical activity is sufficient. In the reports of organisations such as the Ministry of Health, Public Health Institution of Turkiye and Active Living Association, it has been reported that 3/4 of the population of Turkiye does not have sufficient physical activity level and the most sedentary group is the 15-19 age group. These serious rates were seen as an important justification for research on this subject. This aims to examine the differentiation status of the participants in terms of some demographic variables to determine the factors that prevented high school students from participating in physical activities. The research is a quantitative study and was carried out in a descriptive survey model. The sample of the research consisted of 376 participants from high school students who continue their education in schools under the Directorate of National Education in Kahramanmaras city centre in Turkiye. The data of the research were analysed by using the statistical software JAMOVI 2.3.16.0 package program. As a result of the research, it was found that the scores of the participants for the factors that prevented their participation in physical activities were at a moderate level. In the scale of factors that prevented high school students from participating in physical activities, statistically, significant differences were found in terms of gender, family monthly income, how many days a week they do sports, mother's interest in sports, father's interest in sports, PE teacher's attitude and friends' attitudes. As a result, in this study, high school students' concerns about the factors that prevent their participation in physical activities were determined in terms of different variables.

With the work done in the process, it was tried to raise awareness about museums and to explain how valuable museums are for a new perspective on education and most importantly for the social studies course. In the study, a 2x2 split-plot mixed design was used. In the quantitative part of the study, dependent and independent variable measurements were made on the experimental and control groups. In the qualitative part, semi-structured interview technique was applied. The participants of the research are 50 7th grade students in a public school in the center of Gaziantep in the 2020-2021 academic year. The quantitative data of the study were analyzed with the SPSS 22.00 program, and the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and skewness calculation were performed to find answers to the research questions of the study. Afterwards, the post-test was applied to both groups. As a result of the research, it was determined that museum education, which is one of the out-of-school learning environments for the social studies course, improved the course success level of the students in the experimental group. In addition, the data obtained from the semi-structured interview form reveal important results in terms of revealing the students' thoughts on museum education and its impact and make our research more valuable.

Authors: Chiu Yu-Ping , Chen Chiao-Chieh
Published: August 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions adopted several technology-driven platforms (such as Google Meet) as an alternative to traditional in-person classrooms. Researchers have been concerned about the evaluation of learning satisfaction and continuous learning intentions. As such, the purpose of this research was to investigate how the implementation of Google Meet affected the learning flow experience of Taiwan students amid the pandemic. The hedonic (perceived enjoyment, perceived vividness, perceived interactivity) and utilitarian (system quality, service quality, information quality) factors were integrated into the perspective of learning flow. Furthermore, this study also examined how flow experiences influence satisfaction and continuous learning intention. The structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data gathered from a sample of 213 students. According to the findings, hedonic and utilitarian factors all significantly influenced flow experiences. As learning flow increased in remote learning, satisfaction and continuous learning intention were also increased. The results can provide significant implications for flow and learning theory, and offer concrete suggestions for teaching practices and education learning platforms.

Nobel prize laureates for chemistry in the period 2000-2021
Authors:   University of Niš, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Department of Chemistry, Kostić Danijela
Published: August 2023

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has a long history since 1901. There were significant changes and discoveries in chemistry in the previous period, especially intensified in the period 2000-2021. There was the development of new scientific disciplines in chemistry, some of which became completely independent. Also, scientific discoveries are increasingly multidisciplinary and the result of the work of large scientific teams. However, all this is not accompanied by an increase in the number of areas for which the Nobel Prize is awarded. The classification of scientific achievements into one of the six areas for which the Nobel Prize is awarded is increasingly tricky due to their complexity and multidisciplinarity. In the period 2000-2021, the largest number of Nobel Prizes have been awarded for research in the field of biochemistry (11), organic synthesis (4), development of new methods and materials (4), and others (3). All this indicates the dominance of research in biochemistry and life sciences and its independence, which is not adequately accompanied by changes in the structure and areas for which the Nobel Prizes are awarded. In the near future, the Nobel Committee should consider this issue and harmonize it with modern trends in science.

Two commercial fertilizers preparation methods for ICP OES analysis of were used for two different fertilizers types: urea and NPK (mineral fertilizer containing nutrients N, P, and K), as organic and inorganic fertilizers, respectively. The aim of our research was the comparison of two methods for the preparation of samples, the determination of the contents of elements, and the comparison of obtained results with the maximum allowed concentrations. The first preparation method consists of digestion with 18.5% HCl, and the other method is the digestion with aqua regia. Regarding the extraction of some secondary nutrients and micronutrients (Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and B) from NPK fertilizer, better extraction was achieved using the first method for B, Ca, and Mg, while the other method was better for Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn. On the basis of the results of the analysis, the digestion with aqua regia is suitable for almost all investigated 3d metals from both samples, except for NPK, for which the degree of the extraction is somewhat higher. Determined concentrations of some toxic elements (As, Cr, Cd, Ni, and Pb) do not cross the maximum allowable concentrations (MAC).

Published: August 2023

The amendments made to the 1945 Constitution (UUD 1945) clearly provide protection for human rights. Children's rights are explicitly stipulated in Article 28B of the 1945 Constitution. This is a right of protection that must be guaranteed by the state in the state process. Although the 1945 Constitution as a result of the amendments has regulated the norms for the protection of children's rights, the 1945 Constitution has not fully accommodated the norms and principles of children's rights which are the spirit of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Two of the 4 principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, namely: (i) the principle of the best interests of the child and (ii) the principle of respecting the views of the child has not been accommodated in the 1945 Constitution. Thus, the principle of the best interests of the child and the principle of respecting the views of the child have not yet become constitutional norms.

The development of renewable energy resources has grown significantly in recent years. These distributed energy resources are typically connected to the grid through power converters, which can be operated in "grid-forming" or "grid-following" mode. But the large-scale integration of DG units has serious repercussions on the stability of the power system due to their low inertia compared to the synchronous generator. However, an appropriate control guarantees a dynamic, smooth, and fast converter behaviour in an island configuration and voltage-frequency support in grid-connected mode. This paper presents a control system for Grid-Following and Grid-Following converters for a grid-connected MG. The aim is to achieve a seamless transition between the Microgrid and the main grid, appropriate load sharing between distributed energy sources, and an improvement of system stability. The developed grid-connected battery storage system inverter has been designed to be able to operate in two different modes: grid formation mode and grid injection mode. The control strategy considers the control loops of Voltage/current, Frequency, and active/reactive power. The proposed control technique is presented and simulated under the MATLAB/Simulink tool. The simulation results demonstrate the efficiency and performance of the proposed control technique in eliminating voltage, current, and frequency fluctuations and also guarantee a seamless transition between the two modes.

Authors: BEN RAHMOUNE Mohamed , IRATNI Abdelhamid , HAFAIFA Ahmed , COLAK Ilhami
Published: August 2023

Vibration control in rotating machinery is a major challenge in oil and gas facilities that use these machines. In gas turbines, the instability phenomenon is generated by the rotor, and measurements must be made in the axial plane of the turbine. Minor defects can lead to significant vibration amplifications, making it imperative to detect these defects early. The goal of this study is to develop a diagnostic strategy to monitor faults affecting a turbine system using a supervision approach based on artificial neural networks. This strategy allows for early detection of faults, which allows for efficient management of vibration-induced failures, as well as economic gain, by recovering the transported gas used in these machines. By describing the vibration-related parameters and representing the state of the vibratory motion, the proposed approach provides a powerful tool for vibration control in rotating machines.

In this paper, a novel high throughput software polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) decoder based on the fast successive cancellation (FSC) decoding algorithm is first proposed. The FSC decoding algorithm is obtained by expanding the fast list decoding algorithm to suit parallel designs. To improve the parallel processing capabilities of the proposed decoder, we use SIMD and multiple cores techniques to decode multiple codewords in parallel, thus effectively parallel mapping the FSC decoding algorithm to processors. The proposed decoder is sufficiently general to be implemented on X86 and embedded processors (NEON, SSE, AVX256, and AVX512 instructions). Experimentations show that the proposed software PAC decoder can achieve 370 Mbps under the multithreading mode.

The economic power dispatch (EPD) problem aims to find the optimal operational settings of power generating units with minimizing the entire production costs of generation and all system constraints are kept into their acceptable limitations. Meanwhile, achieving this economical operation based on the reduction of the fuel cost and fossil fuel fired power plant emission should be as little as possible. Another nonlinear framework, with contradictory objectives, called combined economical emission power dispatch (CEEPD) is considered as the target framework in this study. The CEEPD framework is subjected to a set of operational equality and inequality constraints. In terms of the solution methodology, this paper is focused at developing a novel optimization algorithm called Chaotic Krill Herd Algorithm (CKHA) as an efficient tool for solving non-convex EPD and CEEPD frameworks. The proposed CKHA is tested on several IEEE test systems for refining its convergence and therefore aggregating the overall solution method. The numerical results clearly show the dominance of CKHA in finding the competitive best fitness functions compared with the advanced methods those published in the literature.

Have you ever attended training sessions and learned nothing after that? It would be a nightmare for the organizations but this situation is not so rare in reality. Employee training and development play a vital role in the growth and success of every organization. As a result, they are putting more effort into ensuring its efficiency. Digital technology has assisted in the transformation of human resource management (HRM), enabling the use of more effective and efficient training techniques as well as changing the nature of training into learning. Accordingly, HRM technology empowers employees to take responsibility for their development, making them active learners. In this way, digital HRM has transformed employee training programs to more flexible and personalized learning journeys, with a greater emphasis on self-paced learning and feedback for long-term effectiveness. In this discussion, we explore how digital HRM has transformed training into employee-led continuous learning journeys that foster a culture of self-awareness, responsibility and effectiveness.

Two species of Hydractiniidae (Hydrozoa) with metagenetic life cycle have been recorded for the temperate region of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean: the medusa stage of Podocoryna tenuis and the polyp stage of P. humilis. Both the adult medusa of P. humilis and the polyp stage of P. tenuis are unknown, but it is possible that they are different stages of the same species, a hypothesis still to be tested. Colonies of P. humilis growing on the southern king crab Lithodes santolla collected at the Atlantic Patagonian coast, and two small medusae released from these hydroid colonies were analyzed. Medusa of P. humilis were kept alive for 3 days and they were morphologically compared with the medusae of P. tenuis sorted out from ~ 2,500 plankton samples along the Atlantic Patagonian coast. The study of these specimens allowed reassessing the taxonomic status of P. humilis and P. tenuis from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Polyp and young medusa stages of P. humilis were described, and additional information was recovered to better describe the medusa stage of P. tenuis. New morphologic and biogeographic evidences in order to propose the synonymy between P. tenuis and P. humilis were discussed.
