The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of drying at different temperatures on the physical properties of the grains; water content, volumetric contraction, the weight of thousand grains, apparent specific mass, length, width, thickness, circularity, sphericity, and comparison of methodologies of soybeans. To evaluate the physical properties, the soybean grain samples with an initial water content of 19.06% b.u. were subjected to the effects of drying air temperatures heated to 40ºC, 55ºC, 70ºC, and 85ºC. The samples were dried in a conventional natural convection oven until reaching 19% water contents, 17%, 15%, 13%, and 11% b.u. Subsequently, the drying curve of soybeans dried under different temperatures was characterized and the physical properties of an apparent specific mass, the weight of one thousand grains, and volumetric contraction were analyzed. It was noted that the increase in temperature affected the three-dimensional axes of the grains, causing them to lose water to the drying air. However, when these grains are dried at high temperatures spending less time, their characteristics are modified. The weight of the grains and the apparent specific mass decreased with increasing temperature during drying. The circularity, sphericity, and unit volume decreased with the increase in temperature during drying, therefore, it is not possible to use the new proposal of digital methodology instead of manual measurement, since the correlation between the two methodologies is close to zero. For the conditions under which the experiment was carried out, it can be concluded that with the increase in the temperature of the drying air, the grains dry faster, and yet the physical dimensions are more preserved, not being intensely reduced throughout the process.

Authors: Canhan Diego Carrião , Brolin Leandro Castilho , Rossini Flávio Luiz
Published: April 2023

This article performed the design, simulation, and performance analysis between two parametric estimation algorithms, the Gradient Method (MG) and the Recursive Least Squares Method (MMQR), both applied to the Adaptive Control by Reference Model (CAMR) system. The study of design techniques and control analysis, as well as the comparison of the methods presented here, enhance the ability of the designer to deal with practical problems effectively. The main contribution of the article was to apply and clarify the advantages of the methods presented. Thus, the specific objectives were: identify the plant to be controlled; discretize the plant; discretize the plan (iii) build the control law; implement the identification algorithm; and analyze and analyze the simulated results. From numerical simulations, we analyzed the performance of each algorithm and its respective advantages, advantages, and limitations. The MMQR has an excellent transient regime, but its computational cost was high. The MG has the slowest accommodation time and has low computational demand when compared to the MMQR. By taking into account the characteristics of each algorithm and having prior knowledge about the plant you want to control, such previous information helps you choose the algorithm, thus enhancing the better performance of the control system.
Formação do imaginário na obra “O ano em Pigafetta completou a circum-navegação”
Authors: Queiroga Mariene de Fátima Cordeiro de
Published: April 2023

O presente trabalho propõe uma leitura da formação dos sujeitos nos espaços de socialização da obra O ano em que Pigafetta completou a circum-navegação (2013), de Luís Cardoso. Pretende-se investigar o drama dos personagens exilados, como eles se posicionam, a partir de que valores, desejos e até mesmo a do próprio autor em seu modo de narrar, ao reter certas coisas, silenciar e adicionar outras no jogo da escrita. Ressalta-se que os fatores ideológicos poderão influenciar e encobrir a cumplicidade do autor com seus personagens, à revelia conservadora dos bens de produção da cultura imposta pela ordem das relações de poder colonial. O texto busca apoio teórico em Bachelard (1988), Agamben (2010), dialogando com outras áreas do conhecimento interdisciplinar. A análise da narrativa Luís Cardoso nos mostra que a tensão entre a autonomia como característica da modernidade face à preceitos convencionais, a luta para a construção da consciência de minoria e a conquista de novos territórios resiste, na maioria das vezes, através da linguagem e da transgressão de normas e valores.

Authors: Chintala Venkateswarlu
Published: April 2023

Indian Railways (IR) is the third largest in the world and economic transportation mode in India. A recent report by Central Pollution Control Board, Government of India revealed that most of the IR stations failed to comply on solid waste management especially on treatment of plastic waste. Hence, this study is aimed to explore potential plastic waste resources/generation across Indian Railway Units (IRUs) and to recommend eco-smart energy solutions to improve plastic waste management at IRUs. Significant problems related to collection, segregation, and treatment of railway mixed plastic waste were addressed. Recent initiatives by IR to eradicate the plastic pollution in IRUs were highlighted in the study. Eco-smart solutions such as financial rewarding system, concession in railway ticket price, priority reservation during booking of railway tickets, converting the unsegregated waste into valuable products of railway platform tiles, pavements, and bricks were recommended. Finally, the study provides comprehensive perspective of plastic waste to energy conversion in terms of plasto-oil, plasto-char, and plasto-gas products

Published: April 2023

Purpose: Primary revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with bone loss and ligamentous insufficiency. After TKA, patients may have global knee instability or genu recurvatum and require revision TKA with a rotating-hinged knee (RHK) prosthesis. However, several studies have reported variable outcomes. This study aimed to: 1) evaluate the outcomes of revision TKA with an RHK prosthesis; and 2) compare the outcomes and satisfaction of patients with global instability and genu recurvatum following revision TKA.
Methods: The cases of 18 patients (mean age, 71 ± 8.5 years; mean follow-up time, 24 months (range, 12–38 months) who underwent revision TKA with an RHK prosthesis in 2015–2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were further classified into the global instability group (n=11), those who were diagnosed with periprosthetic joint infection (8 patients), TKA dislocation (2 patients), and periprosthetic fracture with a complete tear of the medial collateral ligament (1 patient); and the genu recurvatum group (n=7). Clinical evaluations were performed preoperatively, at 1 year postoperative, and at the last follow-up. Outcomes were assessed using the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), pain visual analog scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), complications, and radiographic data. Patient satisfaction was assessed at the 1-year follow-up using a self-administered scale.
Results: Overall, the mean KOOS at the 1-year follow-up was significantly improved versus preoperative (71.39 ± 8.65 vs. 22.56 ± 11.58, p<0.001). The mean 1-year postoperative KOOS (50 vs. 47, p=0.028), surgical satisfaction score (p=0.005), home activity satisfaction score (p=0.0029), and recreational activity satisfaction score (p=0.024) were significantly higher in the global instability versus genu recurvatum group, whereas the mean pain VAS score was significantly higher in the global instability versus genu recurvatum group (6 vs. 4, p=0.037). The mean ROM improved from 30° to 90° in the global instability group and from -20° to 0° in the genu recurvatum group. No surgical complications or signs of prosthesis loosening were observed.
Conclusions: Revision TKA with an RHK prosthesis showed better functional outcomes in patients with global instability versus genu recurvatum. Furthermore, patients with global instability showed higher satisfaction with surgery, home, and recreational activities than those with genu recurvatum.

Authors: Kweku Tandoh Paul , Akua Idun Irene , Yayra Bemanu Bridget
Published: April 2023

Indigenous plants adapt well to marginal conditions, a situation that is essential for resilient agriculture and sustainable food systems in a rapidly changing global climate. These plants are known to be highly nutritious containing a wide array of antioxidants from their various parts including the leaves, stems, roots, branches, flowers etc. Polyphenols, flavonoids, isoflavonoids are major examples of these antioxidants which are chiefly found in many indigenous fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The cultivation of these crops creates employment, providing a unique hotspot for biodiversity conservation as well as providing raw materials for most industries in the world. This review has also provided particular uses of these crops and their potential to combat food insecurity. The rapid exploitation of these crops and the lack of knowledge on their conservation is a major problem to global nutritional and food insecurity. Additionally, the rapid growth in population and technology will significantly impact the productive uses of these vital species. It is therefore crucial to provide a comprehensive review on the role of some of these plants in combating the food security issues globally.

Published: April 2023

This study was performed to develop a Phosphorus Recovery System(PRS) for the recovery of phosphorus from incinerated sewage sludge ash using struvite precipitation. Fly ash generated at the Seonam Sewage Treatment Plant(SSTP) has a high P2O5 content (13.9%). We developed a PRS consisting of an ultrasonic extractor, solid-liquid separator, mixing tank, and phosphorus recovery tank. The ultrasonic extractor had a 28 kHz vibrator for high speed and efficiency, which could perform the extraction in one-quarter of the time required in the conventional stirring method. Results of tests on the ultrasonic extractor showed that up to 0.044 g of P per gram of ash could be extracted with 1 N NaOH at an L/S ratio of 10 mL/g and an ultrasonic output of 500 Wh for 0.5 hr. The PRS is needed to improve the operation method and economic analysis to commercialize the technology and its application through further studies.
Moving Horizon, Design Praxis through Soil Transformation: A Landscape Manifesto
Authors: Mencarini Vittoria , Emanueli Luca , Lobosco Gianni
Published: April 2023

Moving horizon was born as a doctoral investigation that moves across research and design dimension. It explores the relationship between landscape design and soil transformation, focusing on the mutual effects and potential disciplinary developments aiming at structurally linking the two fields. Soil is one of the most complex biomaterials on Earth in continuous exchange with the terrestrial systems. The starting assumption is that the soil is a condition of inherent shifting in landscape evolution both in physical and semantic relationship. The value of soil as an element of planning and design lies in handling live and dynamic physical matter. From being ‘background’ for the built environment, the soil transformations become the ‘foreground’ both in landscape design praxis and in theoretical implications, by embedding the soil as a ‘palimpsest’ in reading and writing the landscape. The framework produced by this assessment has been condensed in ten propositions, collected in form of a landscape manifesto. A first application of moving horizon approach has been developed and tested in the Ravenna Climate Change Adaptation Plan (Italy), by identifying a planning procedure capable of integrating territorial adaptation measures to climate change through an approach based on understanding and transforming the soil as a fundamental material of this process.
Development of L-Group Theory
Authors: Jahan Iffat
Published: April 2023

In this work, we present a systematic and successful development of L-group theory. A universal construction of a generated L-subgroup has been provided by using level subsets of given L-subsets. This construction allows us to define and study commutator L-subgroups, normalizer of an L-subgroup, nilpotent L-subgroups, solvable L-subgroups, normal closure of an L-subgroup. All these concepts and their inter-relationships have been presented. Here we mention that in this work we also exhibit a characterization of solvable L-subgroup with the help of a series of L-subgroups such that at each level, the factor groups of level subgroups of their consecutive members are Abelian. This allows us to introduce the notion of a supersolvable L-subgroup by using the factors of level subgroups at each level of a subinvariant series of an L-subgroup. Also, by using successive normal closures, we transfinitely define a series called the normal closure series of the L-subgroup. It has been shown that it is the fastest descending normal series containing given L-subgroup. This sets the ground for the development of subnormality in L-group theory. In the last, we study the notion of subnormal L-subgroups.

Published: April 2023

Building demolition waste represents a huge environmental challenge worldwide. The environmental implications are not only associated with volume, but also with carbon embodied in the waste. These adverse environmental impacts associated with the generated waste can be minimised through appropriate waste treatment strategies. This chapter evaluates the various stages of the life cycle of demolished waste materials, the potential carbon emission reduction associated with different demolished wastes and waste treatment strategy options. An assessment framework was developed and exemplified by a case study of a supermarket building. The results showed that the processing or treatment stage generate the largest amount of carbon emission (81%) in the life cycle of demolished waste materials, whilst the transportation stage contributed the least (1%). It was further found that steel waste recycling has the greatest environmental benefits (more than 90%) compared to concrete (less than 1%). Additionally, the study revealed that landfilling waste generated the largest amount of carbon emissions compared to recycling. The findings can contribute to mitigating the environmental building demolition projects. Furthermore, the detailed assessment approach provides theoretical and methodological guidance which can be adopted to guide the quantitative analysis of other types of demolition projects globally.
Monoliths Media: Stationary Phases and Nanoparticles
Authors: Hefnawy Mohamed , El Gamal Ali , El-Gendy Manal
Published: April 2023

Monoliths media are gaining interest as excellent substitutes to conventional particle-packed columns. Monolithic columns show higher permeability and lower flow resistance than conventional liquid chromatography columns, providing high-throughput performance, resolution and separation in short run times. Monolithic columns with smaller inner diameter and specific selectivity to peptides or enantiomers have been played important role in hyphenated system. Monolithic stationary phases possess great efficiency, resolution, selectivity and sensitivity in the separation of complex biological samples, such as the complex mixtures of peptides for proteome analysis. The separation of complicated biological samples using columns is being revolutionized by new technologies for creating monolithic stationary phases. These techniques using porous monoliths offer several advantages, including miniaturization and on-line coupling with analytical instruments. Moreover, monoliths are the best support media for imprinting template-specific sites, resulting in the so-called molecularly-imprinted monoliths, which have an extremely high selectivity. In this chapter, the origin of the concept, the differences between their characteristics and those of traditional packings, their advantages and drawbacks, theory of separations, the methods for the monoliths preparation of different forms, nanoparticle monoliths and metal-organic framework are discussed. Two application areas of monolithic metal-organic framework and nanoparticle monoliths are provided.
Autonomous Mobile Mapping Robots: Key Software Components
Authors: Będkowski Janusz , Szklarski Jacek
Published: April 2023

This chapter discusses key software components of autonomous mobile mapping robots equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). In recent years, new LiDARs with nonrepetitive scanning pattern have appeared in the market. They are also equipped with an IMU; thus, the front end of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)—a robust LiDAR-inertial odometry framework—significantly improves unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in 3D mapping scenarios. Our study incorporates FAST-LIO as the front end of SLAM. The main focus is a lightweight back-end implementation of pose graph simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). It is an alternative solution to state-of-the-art g2o or GTSAM implementations. We also elaborate on iterative closest point, normal distributions transform, and their extension for multiview 3D data registration/refinement. It is based on C++ using Eigen library. This chapter also discusses path planning in already mapped environment. All software components are available as open-source projects.
Review of Measures to Control Airborne Pollutants in Broiler Housing
Authors: L.S. Pereira José , Garcia Carla , Trindade Henrique
Published: April 2023

Broiler housing is a significant source of airborne pollutants from animal production, which lead to degradation of indoor air quality and outdoor emissions, particularly ammonia, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulphide, odours and particulate matter. In this chapter, we first analyse the current state of the art on the consequences of these pollutants on broiler farming, farm workers, and the environment. This includes the factors affecting pollutants generation, quantification, and mitigation measures suppressing airborne pollutants. Next, we describe different best available techniques for environmental protection and sustainability of broiler production, namely feeds and feeding management, feed supplements, bedding management and treatment of exhaust air. Thus, broiler farms should select mitigation strategies based on several considerations, such as location, climate conditions, environmental policies and financial resources.
Identification of Trailing Vortex Dynamic States
Authors: P. Brown Anthony
Published: April 2023

Flight research of the characteristics of trailing vortices, generated by heavy jet transport aircraft in cruising flight, was conducted. Trailing vortex velocities were derived by vectorial differencing of aircraft inertial velocity and true airspeed vectors, and then transforming to the vortex mean axis. Lateral distances between port and starboard vortices were 60–70% of generator wingspan. Vortex core radii were derived. Core pressure states were expanded or diffused. Core diffusion was associated with axial segmentation. Core pressure expansions included magnitudes greater than Euler equilibrium values, with velocity profiles displaying peaked maxima. Associated with these characteristics was vortex core radial instability. Subsequent radial expansion and contraction resulted in a large range of rC values. Vorticity confined to an annular state and discretized into circular arrays of N-point vortices of small rC was prevalent. Radial profiles of vortex velocity were identified and included Rankine (peaked) profiles, Lamb-Oseen, and Burnham-Hallock rounded profiles. Twenty-five percent of identified profiles were rounded. The majority of profiles were peaked, with maxima greater than, or equal to, Rankine values. Temperature gradients inside and outside of core edges were identified: outside, heating occurred, inside, cooling. Outer heating occurred with upstream axial flow. Inner cooling occurred with downstream axial flow.
Impulse Measurement Methods for Space Micro-Propulsion Systems
Authors: Ou Yang , Li Yuqi , Zhang Yu , Wu Jianjun , Cheng Yuqiang
Published: April 2023

Space micro-propulsion systems are increasingly considered an attractive option for station-keeping and drag-makeup purposes for the mass- and power-limited satellites due to their critical factors of simple design, small volume, and high specific impulse. These systems typically generate low-range thrust from nN to mN, and their impulses are less than mNs, making it difficult for conventional sensors to detect them directly. Consequently, the design of a special thrust stand is often necessary to measure these micro-propulsion systems. This chapter outlines recommended practices for the operation and calibration of three conventional measurement methods, along with the introduction of an impulse measurement stand developed at the National University of Defense Technology. The chapter presents the fundamentals, calibration method, and experimental results of the stand operation, while also analyzing error sources. Finally, the chapter discusses the demand and direction of micro-impulse measurement development.
Current Trends in HPLC for Quality Control of Spices
Authors: Kumar Sahu Prafulla , Purohit Sukumar , Tripathy Swarnajeet , Prasad Mishra Durga , Acharya Biswajeet
Published: April 2023

India, the land of spices and condiments, is endowed with a plethora of herbs, spices, and unusual plants. Spices have been used as flavoring and coloring agents in Indian society since time immemorial. Spices have also been shown to have antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Assessing spices’ taste, nutritional, and bioactive qualities during postharvest processing is critical for quality control and preventing adulteration. Various illegal colors are frequently used to adulterate spices for fraudulent trading operations. For instance, Sudan dyes are widely substituted with hot chili, red pepper, or tomato products; metanil yellow in turmeric; tartrazine, amaranth, and sunset yellow FCF in ginger and chili powder; and magenta III and rhodamine B in saffron. These adulterants degrade the flavoring, fragrance, cosmetics, medicinal, and preservative value of spices, their authentication is critical in quality control. Apart from these adulterants, various aflatoxins secreted after fungal contamination also cause quality degradation of spices. According to the literature evaluation, HPLC is a rapid and adaptable technique for efficiently identifying these compounds in spices. The proposed chapter summarizes application of HPLC for detection, quantification, and quality assessment of various spices. Some of the recently published work on the said topic from various search engines (Google scholar, Scopus, science direct, etc.) is mentioned in the chapter.

Days after a Choice is Made: Transition to Professional and Vocational Upper Secondary Schools in Czechia
Authors: Dvořák Dominik , Simonová Jaroslava , Vyhnálek Jan , Gal Petr
Published: April 2023

Researchers in the Czech Republic, as well as internationally, have traditionally studied the factors that contribute to the choice of upper secondary tracks and programs. Much less is known about the day-to-day experiences of the students in different tracks, particularly in professional/vocational tracks, and the possible mechanisms that produce the positive or negative outcomes of their schooling. We present the results of a prospective qualitative study of 22 students we followed from their last year of lower secondary school and through their first and second years in different tracks and schools. Data obtained in three waves of interviews were subjected to thematic analysis. Two major themes cutting across domains of daily routines, social relations, and the respondents' perception of curriculum/learning are described: school choice and professional/vocational specialization. The key findings are several important differences between the post-transitional experience of students in technical/professional and vocational programs. The study provides important insights into adolescent adjustment in various tracks of secondary schools in the post-socialist context.
Youth at Risk in Higher Levels of Upper Secondary Education: A Supportive Intervention to Prevent School Failure and Drop Out
Authors: Dueggeli Albert
Published: April 2023

This study addresses the question of how learners whose parents have a migration background can be supported in upper secondary education to prevent their dropping out of education. To that end, we conducted interventions in an upper secondary education setting in order to improve school grades, subject-specific self-conceptions of ability in mathematics and German, motivation to study, and perceived self-efficacy and we evaluated the effects on learner achievements. We applied a two-phase process: a more virtual approach during restrictions imposed during COVID-19 and a more face-to-face approach in which learners were tutored by teachers. The intervention showed an improvement in grades in German and in the self-conception of ability in mathematics. However, this was only established during the face-to-face intervention phase. During the COVID-19 phase, and thus when there was no possibility of standardized intervention, no specific effects were observed.
Mechanism, Occultism, the Calculus of Environments: The Perpetual Motion of Soviet Space
Authors: Regev Y.
Published: April 2023

This article attempts to fix Dmitry Morozov’s Geological Trilogy between three poles or three paradigmatic models. The author takes recourse to Anson Rabinbach’s theory and his account of how the mechanisms characteristic of the 18th century stand in opposition to the motor and electric machines of the 19th century. The ever-renewing processes of Morozov’s installations share with 18th century mechanisms the fact that their the source of movement is not electromagnetism and its conversion but the workings of interrelated parts. Yet Morozov’s machines are distinct from those of the 18th century in the absence of the mimetic. The article also draws a distinction, following Matteo Pasquinelli, between carbon and silicon-based machines. The third theory, on which the author bases his own conclusions, takes an interpretation of the 16th century Kabbalist Isaac Luria and compares it with Pasquanelli’s theory. The material point where this transformation took place is ascribed to occult practices of manipulation. Hypothetically, Morozov’s machine amounts to a machine of the third type: a motive, technical potential of the 18th century while being also a particular transformation of that potential. A machine of the third type is a machine of location which is able to transform the situation as a whole. The basic functionality of such machines is a quadripartite gestural code and general principles of the calculus of environments which allow one to put different socio-cultural aspects together and examine the question of their connection with the paradigm of the “soviet”. The author suggests that Morozov’s machines act to change the past (the Soviet past, especially that of the period of stagnation). However the resolution of other issues raised by Morozov’s machines require a new ontology and new mathematics.
Studying Unfamiliar into the Familiar with special Reference to the Autobiographical Elements: A Crituque
Authors: Dr. Karansinh Rathod
Published: April 2023

Victim blaming was, and still is, commonplace in countries like India where disabilities are viewed as God's punishment for one's previous transgressions. Only if the impaired individual and society work together to establish the "new normal" does Susan Lonsdale believe that the second meaning of being disabled comes to light. It's horrifying to become crippled as a result of an acid attack because it marks a person's character as well as their appearance. Reshma Qureshi's life storey depicts this. Because of this, she has a purpose in her life thanks to various stigma management tactics that she employs. Her efforts are aided by a group of "normal" people, who help her succeed. If the society of the normal supports and accommodates the needs of the disabled, they may rise to prominence. Reshma's autobiography serves as a wake-up call to society, imploring it to go above and beyond its current set of legal and unwritten rules.

Professionals from a variety of fields, ranging from nursing to engineering, write on the jobto communicate effectively in their respective fields. Writing to Learn the Profession andLearning to Write Professionally are two key approaches that are brought into conversation inthis book. With an audience that includes vocational education teachers, teacher trainersacross the disciplines, professional training programmes, and authors of pre-professionalcurricula, the book's subtitle, "Creating a professional identity at work through reflectivewriting," could have been a good fit. As part of the latest volume in their Studies in Writingseries, Ortoleva, Bétrancourt, and Billett bring together an international group of scholars toexamine the writing skills and rhetorical sensitivities that students need to develop as theyprogress through the stages of their professional development. With a particular emphasis onvocational education courses in fields ranging from midwifery to baking, this book providesone of the first comprehensive examinations of what students require, what employers expect,and how teachers are attempting to assist students in better realising their professionalaspirations through writing.
Analytical Survey of Teachers Perception towards Writing Skills
Authors: Bhavesh Unadkat
Published: April 2023

Researchers from four states in the US surveyed 29 teachers on their views about writing andthe variables that impacted them. After conducting interviews with instructors in high- andlow-income schools, researchers found substantial differences in writing teaching. Instructorsat high-income schools place a greater focus on rhetorical style, establishing one's own voice,and making reading and writing connections than teachers in low-income schools. It appearsthat, whereas instructors in high-income schools are more flexible in picking curricularmaterials and focusing on writing quality beyond grammar and mechanics, teachers in lowincomeschools tend to be constrained by a certain curriculum set by their districts. Manyelements, including the school atmosphere, programmes and resources, and evaluations, havean impact on teachers' attitudes. The study highlights concerns that students in low-incomeschools are missing out on true, tough, and important writing chances because of theemphasis on skills-based training. A new study shows that for students to be successful,teachers must provide them opportunities to develop their argumentative style, their ownvoice, and connections between what they read and what they write.
Aesthetic Beauty of Old English Poetry: A Critique
Authors: Dr. Shabir Parmar
Published: April 2023

An examination of 23 Old English expressions of good aesthetic feelings is the subject of this essay. These expressions have to do with looks, character traits, and pleasant memories. In order to have a better understanding of how Anglo-Saxon English people saw aesthetics, this research is being undertaken. Here's how I went about creating one: The database was built using a variety of software and lexical tools, as well as a variety of corpora. I used a variety of sociolinguistic criteria to annotate the evidence in the corpus. After analysing these pieces in detail, it became clear that the Old English poets used two distinct approaches to describing beauty: one focused on the object's objective aesthetic features, while the other emphasised the subject's subjective experience of it. In religious writings, these two alternatives were often combined.
Perceiving Genre with Special Reference to the Academic Writing
Authors: Dr. Karansinh Rathod
Published: April 2023

This study uses innovative computational rhetorical analysis tools to investigate the use of citations in a corpus of academic articles. As a result of genre theory, our study uses graph-theoretic diagrams to extract and amplify expected patterns of repeated moves that are linked with stable academic writing genres. There is evidence to suggest that our computational strategy is as good as qualitative researchers who code by hand, such as Karatsolis and colleagues, in properly detecting and classifying citation movements (this issue). Pairwise comparisons of advisor and advisee texts reveal further applications for automated computational analysis as formative feedback in a mentoring scenario.
Writing as a Learning Activity
Authors: Dr. Komal Raichura
Published: April 2023

Is there a function for writing in the process of learning? It's important to know what aspects of writing play a part in the learning process. To what extent should educators promote and facilitate the use of writing as a learning tool among their students? Those are the types of pressing questions that the new cutting-edge book, writing as an educational activity, is working hard to address. Since its start in the late 1970s, evidence-based research on writing-to-learn has grown into a thriving and lucrative area of study. As well as highlighting current issues and developments, this collection's editors intend to bring out challenges and opportunities that remain for the field going forward. With these goals in mind, they've brought together specialists and research organisations from nine countries, ranging from cognitive psychology to literature to linguistics and even history education. Writing-to-learn research is a truly multidisciplinary endeavour, as evidenced by the thirteen chapters of this edited volume, which draw on various theoretical paradigms (e.g., classic cognitivism; social constructivism; situated cognition; semiotics) and employ various methodologies (e.g., grounded theory) (e.g., laboratory experiments; quasi-experimental interventions studies; design experiments; phenomenographic studies; discourse and content analysis; etc.).
Measuring Writing

To understand both writing processes and writing interventions, as well as writing interventions themselves, it is sometimes necessary to assess text quality. However, the idea of 'text quality' is commonly misunderstood or misunderstood. A more precise understanding and explanation of what it means to be a good writer is the purpose of this book, according to the editors. Chapters in the book are broken down into the following categories: definitions of writing skill, rater effects, and automated essay scoring, to name a few.
Place of Dialogue in Argumentative Writing: A Study
Authors: Dr Bhavdip Chavda
Published: April 2023

An essential part of our approach to developing argumentative writing is to use a dialogic approach, in which students actively participate in a conversation with peers, which offers both an audience and a purpose for the activity. It took place over the course of a school year in which sixth graders debated a variety of themes on the internet with their peers and wrote individual essays on each of them. To put it another way, as compared to a non-participating group, they showed far greater coordination ability. In particular, they displayed a stronger ability to use evidence to both support and undermine their claims. Additionally, they showed modest meta-level gain in their understanding of the importance and role of evidence in reasoning. They were able to rule out the idea that this improvement was due to superior memory of the specific evidence that had been made accessible to them rather than a wider meta-level understanding of the subject matter. To help students improve their argumentative writing skills, some believe that they should be given more opportunities to converse about the topics that interest them personally.
Adaptation of CCSS: Its Impacts and Benefits on Overall Learning and Language Leaning Efficiencies: A Brief Study
Authors: Nilesh Nandaniya
Published: April 2023

Teachers and administrators in a rapidly changing educational environment are increasingly looking for texts that are both flexible enough to adapt to changes and accessible to people who work in the field of educational research. The adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in the United States has necessitated considerable alterations to educational methods. Teaching should be vertically aligned across grade levels while also "horizontally aligning" with other academic areas, as outlined by the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Teachers and school systems have an obligation to ensure that more students are prepared for college and university by adhering to the Common Core State Standards. It is my opinion that best practises in writing instruction is a book that effectively illustrates to instructors’ instructional approaches to improve writing teaching by boosting student critical thinking and emphasising the disparities in disciplinary writing.
Hand writing versus Keyboard Writing: Effect on Word Recall
Authors: Dr Arjun Dave
Published: April 2023

This study determined how writing style affected people's recall and recognition of words. The three writing techniques used were handwriting using a pen on paper, typing on a conventional laptop keyboard, and typing on an iPad touch keyboard. A properly counterbalanced within-subjects experimental design was used, and 36 females between the ages of 19 and 54 participated. In this study, participants were given a wordlist and directed to use one of three distinct writing modalities to record words that were read aloud to them. For this study, the wordlist paradigm was applied. A person's memory for words typed using handwriting, a standard keyboard, and a virtual iPad keyboard was tested using oral free recall and recognition. For the analysis of the data, non-parametric statistics were used. Following analyses revealed that participants' free memory of words written in the handwriting condition was considerably higher than that of both keyboard writing conditions for the free recall measure. The findings demonstrate an all-encompassing influence of the writing medium. The findings also reveal that participants' free recall of terms written in handwriting was much better. There was no obvious effect of writing mode in the recognition condition. This shows that handwriting may have unique cognitive benefits that may not be completely retained while writing on a keyboard, especially concerning word memory components. One of these advantages might be word recall. The implications of the study's findings on cognition and education are investigated.
Quantity versus quality Effects of argumentation in bad news letters
Authors: Boni Joshi
Published: April 2023

Does the approach used to assess negative messages differ depending on the number of reasons considered or the quality of those arguments? Two separate experiments, which involved the distribution of bad news letters, were carried out to explore this problem and find a solution. During these investigations, both the standard of the arguments and the total number of arguments were realistically varied in response to the conditions surrounding the probe. The results of the two experiments suggest that including logic in letters not only makes them appear more courteous to the reader but also increases the persuasive power of the letters. Both sets of findings from the study led in this direction. The study's findings also show that the influence of persuasive arguments is far more significant than that of arguments that are not persuasive.

Furthermore, it has been proved that the subsequent arguments contribute to reinforcing the conclusion. The findings, on the other hand, demonstrate that just one or two arguments are required to substantiate a claim. Adding a third reason does not significantly improve the results; rather, it leads to a marginal improvement in the scores.

Engajamento dos estudantes: uma revisão de fundamentações para práticas educativas e suas aproximações com a educação musical
Authors: Toni Anderson , Araújo Rosane Cardoso de
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo traz como objetivo apresentar, por meio de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, estudos sobre o engajamento dos estudantes e sua aproximação com a área da educação musical. Foram revisados diferentes estudos sobre engajamento, com foco nos indicadores, facilitadores, resultados e motivação. De maneira geral, o engajamento pode ser entendido como uma participação ativa em uma atividade que é determinada pela qualidade de aspectos comportamentais e psicológicos (cognitivos e afetivo/emocionais) da pessoa na realização de uma ação. A partir da literatura consultada, reconhece-se que o engajamento é um processo fundamental na aprendizagem, mas necessita de um aprofundamento teórico e metodológico nas pesquisas futuras sobre o tema. Os resultados deste estudo podem auxiliar docentes e pesquisadores da área da educação na compreensão das definições e discussões sobre o engajamento dos estudantes. Ao mesmo tempo, o texto também contempla um público que busca estudar o engajamento e sua relação com a educação musical.
