An investigative study on different magnetic ionic liquids to be used as a lubricant and sealant in a vacuum pump
Authors:   University College London, London, UK, Evans Tim , Palgrave Robert ,   University College London, London, UK
Published: April 2024

The aim of this work is to explore the possibility of using a magnetic ionic liquid as both a lubricant and sealant in a vacuum pump. The current lubricant in use is due to become obsolete due to incoming legislation on fluorinated compounds. The long-term goal is to use a magnetic field to hold the novel lubricant in place to create a better seal and thus reduce pressure more effectively whilst also lubricating the necessary mechanical parts. This paper explores physical properties (contact angle, viscosity, coefficient of friction (COF) and magnetism) and chemical properties (thermal stability and chemical stability as deduced by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)) of three ionic liquids based on imidazolium cations with varying length of alkyl side chain and a tetrachloroferrate anion along with two control lubricants which are used currently in the field and based upon perfluoropolyether (PFPE). The work shows that the three magnetic ionic liquids possess a lower COF value than the two control lubricants when measured using a Bruker UMT TriboLab suggesting they may perform better in the real life vacuum pump. Upon analysis of the three ionic liquid samples after tribological testing using XPS, it was shown that the ionic liquid samples displayed minor differences in spectra suggesting good stability with no obvious decomposition or degradation of the sample.

Authors:   Bina Nusantara University, Hendijani Roozbeh Babolian
Published: April 2024

Despite public awareness of how dangerous plastic bags are, people still use them excessively in Indonesia. This research is conducted to determine customers’ intention to use reusable bags and to find out whether there is a significant difference between genders in terms of intention to reuse bags. Data were collected through 150 self-administered questionnaires distributed randomly to people in modern supermarkets and minimarkets around Jakarta. Statistical analysis, such as hierarchical regression, independent sample t-test, and descriptive analysis were used to analyze the data. Attitudes, convenience, and environmental concern have a significant relationship with customers’ intentions. There was no significant difference between genders in terms of their intention. This research sheds light on a nuanced aspect of sustainable behavior, specifically the role of gender in the intention to reuse bags. Its originality lies in the context of Indonesia and the analysis of gender dynamics. The implications of this study extend beyond academia, offering practical guidance to marketers, retailers, and policymakers seeking to promote environmentally conscious consumer behavior and reduce plastic bag consumption.

Authors:   Philippine Carabao Cente, Valiente Estella , Sobremisana Marisa , Vergara Dante Gideon , Dizon Josefina
Published: April 2024

Effective waste management in dairy buffalo farming is vital to ensure the health and productivity of a farm and its farmers, as well as to minimize negative environmental impacts. This study examined the waste management practices of dairy buffalo farmers in Nueva Ecija, Philippines in relation to their socio-economic status and farm profile. Fifty-nine dairy buffalo farmers were interviewed face-to-face using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaires to gather data on their socio-demographic and economic profiles, farm profiles, and waste management system. Principal Component Analysis and binary regression were used to determine correlation between socio-economic status and farm profile with their manure management systems. Eighty percent of the respondents practiced stockpiling while 12% practiced vermi-composting. The liquid waste is disposed of via open channels going to rice fields, rivers, creeks, irrigation canals, forage areas, or vacant lots. The non-biodegradable farm waste is either buried, burned, thrown in a vacant area, reused, sold or given to garbage collectors. The regression model revealed that the significant determinant of manure management system was animal holding (p<0.05) which indicates that as the animal holding of the dairy farmers increased by 1 unit, there was a .23 increase in the probability that the dairy farmers will practice stockpiling. The agencies concerned need to intensify efforts to disseminate suitable, cost-effective, efficient and sustainable interventions related to waste management for dairy buffalo farms.

This research discuss a policy option for the Philippines to reduce the intensity of “hot” disputes over its sovereignty and sovereign rights to protect and manage the fisheries and other resources in the West Philippine Sea (WPS). (The authors define “hot” disputes as contentions involving belligerent assets used to assert disputants’ interests, and which could turn lethal; this, in contrast to “cold” disputes which tthose with no disputant using belligerent assets to assert its interests.) gleaned an option from three lessons learned from the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS): shared ecological interests are given greater emphasis than any nation’s political interests; creating a scientific community and an environment of free exchange of scientific knowledge undergird common benefits to the Treaty’s Contracting Parties and the world at large; and a military option to settle disputes does not always provide the best returns to disputing countries’ efforts. The Philippines may continue with its current WPS policy of containing the disputes or take the option of opening a global science and conservation program in the West Philippine Sea along the model of the ATS, to strengthen and sustain the seascape’s heritage value to Filipinos and others in the larger South China Sea (SCS) basin and beyond.

Authors:   Central Bicol State University of Agriculture, Bergonio Emerson , Espaldon Maria Victoria , Nacorda Hildie Maria , Ancog Rico
Published: April 2024

Tiger-toothed croaker or Otolithes ruber (Bloch & Schneider 1801) is native to San Miguel Bay in Bicol, one of the most productive fishing grounds in the Philippines. Locally known as “abo”, it is one of the major fish catch in the bay and its processing is a seasonal livelihood among coastal villages that commands high market price. With the present state of area, this study aimed to provide information on O. ruber catch trend under the different fishing practices among municipal fisherfolks. On-board surveys and observations (fishing trips) were conducted from the selected barangays of the seven municipalities around the Bay, which were attended by fisherfolk who have been into fishing activity for a long time. The morphometric characteristics of the fish in terms of size (lengths and weights), sex type, and sexual maturity were assessed. Fisherfolks prefer to perform fishing activities applying fishing methods such as “timbog” (“tupak”), “patalang” and “hugos”, if the water is turbid while others believed in the phases of the moon wherein better catch is experienced when the moon is on its first or last quarters. Fishing trips demonstrated that fisherfolks used bottom-set gillnets and commonly explored the middle to the mouth of the Bay off the municipalities of Mercedes and Siruma. From the 162.69 kg total catch during the 22 fishing trips, 31.49% or 51.22 kg of which were O. ruber caught largely from Mercedes, Calabanga and Cabusao areas. Mercedes employed the “patalang” method while the other two employed “timbog” method. Out of 434 O. ruber samples, 222 females and 212 males, having 1:1 ratio, were identified with TL of 19.14 + 0.11 cm and body weight of 70.76 + 1.46 g. Moreover, macroscopic analyses of gonads revealed that maturity stages of females ranged from mature to ripe or spawning while most males are already mature and gravid with some developing virgin.

River water is a crucial natural resource utilized for various purposes, including agriculture and drinking. Human activities such as mining, industrial discharge, and improper waste management contribute to river water pollution, affecting its quality and posing risks to human health. Monitoring and predicting river water quality are essential for effective management and pollution control. The research focuses on Dissolved Oxygen (DO), and comparing of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to developed prediction models. Evaluation of the models’ performance shows that the ANN model outperforms LSTM in predicting Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentrations, achieving lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Although LSTM exhibits lower Mean Squared Error (MSE), the ANN model demonstrates better accuracy in minimizing the average distance between predicted and actual values. The findings suggest that ANN-based models offer good performance in river water quality prediction, with potential for further enhancement through additional variables or model architecture adjustments.

Social Communicative Contexts between Technological Determinism and the New Media
Authors:   Department of Foreign Languages,Lagos State University, Olurotimi Timehin Saheed
Published: April 2024

The advent of the new media is a major paradigm shift in human communication and the traditional media that sustained communication from the earliest times till today. Human social progress is almost entirely dependent on the nature of communication that exists in the society. No society survives without a good system of managing information within it as no meaningful encounter and engagement that can drive growth and development can occur without the media. The 21st century brought in its wake several innovations in the information and communication technologies that totally changed the nature of communication, its processes, practice and management. This paradigm shift has given birth to new orientations and attitudes which have combined to create the notion of technological determinism which is the belief that technology is the principal initiator of the society’s transformation. This view of the society is usually attributed to the American sociologist, Thorstein Veblen, who argued that there is a causal link between technology and the society. He opines therefore that all social transformations in the society are controlled by technology and the new media orientation it has birthed. Using content analysis as its main methodological tool, this paper examines the nature of communication, its role in the human society and the interaction between it, its media and the society which is its theatre of action. It argues that the new media technologies and the society have a symbiotic relationship that has altered, redefined, refashioned and redirected social communicative contexts in such a way that has changed the way the human society and individuals act and react leading to a total overhaul of the ways everything is done-trading, teaching, learning, paying taxes, interacting and negotiating. It concludes that social communicative contexts are not distorted by the new media but are rather recontextualised by affirming existing identities and creating new roles in stimulating specialised communication.
Women’s Rights in Le Dynasty’s “Quoc Trieu Hinh Luat”,Vietnam
Authors:   National Academy of Public Administration, Vietnam, Nguyen Vo Hang , Anh Tu Pham Ho ,   National Academy of Public Administration, Vietnam
Published: April 2024

Originating in the mid-15th century, the “Quoc Trieu Hinh Luat” legal law stands out for its remarkable value and achievements, featuring progressive attributes that surpass both preceding and succeeding legal laws. Throughout the extended period of Vietnamese subjugation by the North, the population endured significant influences from Chinese culture, operating within a feudal system that recognized the dominance of males over females. And Confucianism promoted a patriarchal system, a society where men have ultimate authority within the family unit and community. While the “Quoc Trieu Hinh Luat” could not entirely break free from this prevailing context, it introduced certain privileges for Vietnamese women that were absent in the contemporary Chinese setting. This article focuses on highlighted provisions safeguarding the dignity and rights of women in a society traditionally biased towards male superiority. Key aspects include right to decline marriage, the autonomy for women to enter voluntary marriages, the wife’s right to unilaterally leave her husband, and the right to divorce. Additionally, the “Quoc Trieu Hinh Luat” imposes stringent penalties for offenses against the physical and mental well-being of women. In some instances, female offenders receive relatively lenient punishments compared to their male counterparts. The primary aim of this article is to contribute to scholarly discussions on women’s rights within the socio-cultural milieu of the Le Dynasty’s “Quoc Trieu Hinh Luat”.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of digital currency transaction variables on the demand for money in Indonesia. The data used are data on the volume of mobile banking transactions, internet banking, interest rates, the level of currency fluctuations, and inflation on the demand for money for the period 2013 to 2022. Data analysis uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration method. The results of regression testing can be concluded that the long-term relationship is valid. In addition, using CUSUM and CUSUMQ from the quadratic test, the demand for money in Indonesia is relatively stable using the narrow definition of money, it implies that there haven't been significant and persistent shifts in either the mean or the variance of the narrow money supply. A stable demand for money suggests that the economic agents in Indonesia, such as households and businesses, are not undergoing substantial changes in their preferences or behaviors related to holding money. This stability can have implications for monetary policy and economic planning, as it indicates a certain level of predictability in the demand for money. However, it's crucial to keep in mind that economic conditions and factors influencing the demand for money can change over time. Therefore, continuous monitoring and periodic reassessment of the stability of the demand for money are necessary for accurate economic analysis and policy formulation.

Atletas de diferentes continentes manifestaram percepções singulares sobre a participação nos YOG, que foram do desafio da conciliação da carreira de estudante e atleta ao desejo de sair do país para ampliar as chances esportivas. Esta pesquisa não teve a pretensão de chegar a uma conclusão sobre o impacto desse evento nos atletas e espectadores, mas de perceber, por meio da diversidade dos apontamentos, a contribuição dos YOG para o cenário esportivo mundial.

THE MOMENTOUS OF AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION IN CONTEMPORARY ART

ABSTRACT
Artists' search for alienating and interactive venues to exhibit their work coincided with the growth of contemporary art in the latter half of the 1950s. The viewers of participatory art will no longer be passive; rather, they will be the ones who complete the artwork's purpose or test the limits of physical experience. The precise contexts of creations and responses required funding in order to fund the concept of "participation." However, it opens up new ways in which works that don't work in this style or ethical quandaries are deliberately left unsolved defeating the artwork's purpose. Thus, this paper will drive more profound to analyze three interactive artworks by Malaysian artists on the significance of audience participation from the year 2014 to 2019. Feldman’s theory of art criticism which has been used in analyzing interactive artworks is only unraveling from the context aspect of the artworks. However, strengthened by the theory of new media art by Marshall McLuhan and Lev Manovich, analysis has become more accurate in the use of element data, navigable space, automation, transcoding, etc. Hopefully, this research will aid and serve as a new knowledge and reference point for future generations.
ABSTRAKArtis mencari tempat pameran yang asing dan interaktif untuk mempamerkan karya mereka selaridengan pertumbuhan seni kontemporari pada tahun 1950-an. Penonton seni yang bersifat partisipatif tidak lagi menjadi penonton pasif; sebaliknya mereka yang akan menyelesaikan tujuan karya seni atau menguji batas pengalaman fisik. Konteks yang tepat dari penciptaan dan tanggapanmemerlukan pembiayaan untuk mendukung konsep "partisipasi". Namun, hal ini membuka peluang baru yang mana karya tidak berfungsi dalam gaya ini atau dilema etika sengaja dibiarkan tanpa penyelesaian, melebihi tujuan karya seni tersebut. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini akan melakukan analisis terhadap tiga karya seni interaktif oleh seniman Malaysia tentang signifikansi partisipasi penonton dari tahun 2014 hingga 2019. Teori kritik seni Feldman, yang telah digunakan dalam menganalisis karya seni interaktif hanya terungkap dari aspek konteks karya seni. Namun, diperkuat oleh teori seni media baru oleh Marshall McLuhan dan Lev Manovich. Analisis menjadi lebih tepat dalam menggunakan data elemen, ruang yang dapat dinavigasi, otomatisasi, transcoding, dan lain-lain lagi. Impak penelitian ini dapat membantu dan menjadi titik pengetahuan dan referensi baru untuk generasi mendatang.
Regspraak: The trade and production of income requirements for the deductibility of interest

Ten einde ’n rente uitgawe wat voortspruit uit ’n skuldinstrument te kan aftrek, moet ’n belastingbetaler aan beide die vereistes van “in beoefening van ’n bedryf” en “die voortbrenging van inkomste” voldoen. Die beoefening van ’n bedryf-vereiste behels dat die belastingbetaler moet aantoon dat hulle ’n positiewe stap geneem het, nie bloot ’n passiewe rol vertolk nie. Ten einde aan die voortbrenging van inkomste-vereiste te voldoen, moet die belastingbetaler aantoon dat die uitgawe nou verwant is aan die voortbrenging van inkomste soveel so dat dit as deel daarvan geag kan word. Alhoewel die algemene aftrekkingsformule vereis dat die belastingbetaler ’n bedryf moet uitoefen en die uitgawe vir doeleindes daarvan aangegaan moes wees, vereis die spesiale reëls betreffende die aangaan en toevalling van rente, sowel as die insluiting en aftrekbaarheid van rente, soos vervat in artikel 24J van die Inkomstebelastingwet 58 van 1962, nie so ’n skakel nie. Die belastingbetaler in Unitrans Holdings Ltd v CSARS ((A3094/2022) 2024 ZAGPJHC 3 (9 Jan 2024)) het probeer om meer as wat nodig was aan te toon om ’n aftrekking te eis, naamlik dat dit ’n bedryf as ’n geldskieter beoefen het, terwyl dit voldoende sou wees om aan te dui dat dit ’n bedryf, enige bedryf, beoefen het. Hierdeur het die belastingbetaler ’n risiko geloop om die geskil op die vraag van die beoefening van ’n bedryf te verloor, maar het eintlik die saak verloor omdat daar nie bewys is dat die rente-uitgawes aangegaan was in die voortbrenging van inkomste nie. Alhoewel die bedoeling om ’n wins te maak nie ’n vereiste vir die beoefening van ’n bedryf is nie, ontken die gebrek daaraan die doel van die voortbrenging van inkomste. ’n Direkte skakel tussen die uitgawe en die voortbrenging van inkomste word steeds vereis. Indien daardie skakel nie bestaan nie, of gebreek is, is die uitgawe nie aftrekbaar nie. Dit is ook die geval waar die uitgawe, soos in casu, bedoel is om belastingvrye inkomste voort te bring. Die Suid Afrikaanse Inkomste Diens se voorneme om die praktyk te staak om rente-aftrekkings toe te laat op geleende geld wat teen ’n hoër of laer rentekoers herleen word, beklemtoon die belang van artikel 24J van die wet en die nakoming van die reëls daarvan.
