A critical Review on Advanced Membrane Bioreactors for Wastewater Treatment: Fouling Reduction and Energy Demand
Authors: Ryu Tae-Youl , Won Jongyeob , Jung Hyunki , Im Hongrae
Published: October 2024

Objectives:Rapid industrialization has highlighted the importance of addressing environmental issues and the increasing demand for water supply. As a result, innovative solutions to improve water circulation management in both public and industrial sectors have been proposed, one of which is the introduction of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology. This study aims to understand the mechanisms and characteristics of membrane fouling in MBR processes and compare the associated energy consumption, with the goal of improving process efficiency and energy performance.Methods:In this study, various factors influencing the MBR process were considered to analyze the mechanisms and characteristics of membrane fouling. The impact of fouling on the process was assessed, and energy consumption was compared. Specifically, the power consumption of flat-sheet and hollow-fiber MBRs was analyzed, focusing on the proportion of energy used for microbial treatment and membrane cleaning. The Specific Energy Demand (SED) was calculated to evaluate the energy consumption efficiency of different fouling control methods in MBRs.Results and Discussion:In typical MBR processes, 68.0% (flat-sheet) and 53.0% (hollow-fiber) of the power consumption is attributed to air scouring for microbial treatment and membrane cleaning. Notably, 57.0% (flat-sheet) and 36.0% (hollow-fiber) of the power is consumed to supply air for detaching adhered foulants to maintain filtration performance. These results indicate that aeration is a major energy consumer in MBR processes. SED is a critical indicator for assessing the energy consumption of specific fouling control methods, with typical MBR processes having an SED of 0.2-0.3kWh/m3. In contrast, using a non-aerated membrane module with reciprocating inertial force for fouling control reduces SED to 0.005-0.01 kWh/m3, representing a 20-60 fold decrease in energy consumption, highlighting the need for energy reduction.Conclusion:This study provides insights into fouling reduction characteristics in MBR processes, suggesting a new paradigm for enhancing the economic feasibility of MBR technology. Applying non-aerated membrane modules to reduce energy consumption can significantly improve MBR efficiency, contributing to energy reduction and environmentally friendly technology development. Therefore, strategies to maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact in MBR processes are essential.

Authors: Kim Min-Zy , Jung Gyu-Jung
Published: October 2024

Objectives:In this experiment, we used an environmentally friendly snow removal agent containing calcium chloride (CaCl2) and humic acid (HA) to alleviate salt stress on chili pepper seedlings, and analyzed its effect on plant growth. As an alternative to minimize the negative effects of existing chloride-based snow removal agents on plants and soil, we investigated whether humic acids contribute to improving plant physiological responses and soil electrical conductivity (EC). Evaluated.Methods:For 21 days, we set up a control group (Count.), a calcium chloride treatment group (CaCl2), a humic acid treatment group (HA), and a mixed treatment group (HUA2, HUA5, HUA10) in which humic acid and calcium chloride were mixed. The growth of stems and roots was measured. In addition, the high mortality rate of leaves and changes in soil electrical conductivity (EC) were measured to evaluate the effect of alleviating salt stress.Results and Discussion:As a result of the experiment, stem length increased in the control group, humic acid treatment group (HA), and humic acid and calcium chloride mixed treatment groups (HUA2, HUA5, HUA10), and the greatest growth was observed in HUA5 among the mixed treatment groups. On the other hand, in the calcium chloride treatment group (CaCl2), stem growth did not occur and the high leaf mortality rate was 66.7%, which had a negative effect on growth. The soil EC value was lowest at 0.21mS/cm in the humic acid only treatment group (HA) and highest at 1.25mS/cm in the calcium chloride treatment group (CaCl2). In the mixed treatment group, the EC value tended to decrease as the humic acid concentration increased. This indicates that humic acid can play a role in reducing salt stress and promoting plant growth.

Published: October 2024

This study analyses the perception and interest of young entrepreneurs in Sharia-based business financing at BSI in Sungai Penuh City, Jambi. This study uses a qualitative approach with primary data from interviews. Interviews were conducted directly with six informants. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman approach with the following stages: data reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusion. The results of the study indicate that the perception of young entrepreneurs towards Sharia-based loans is generally very positive; they understand the basic principles of Sharia in financing without interest and the application of profit sharing. Young entrepreneurs also recognize the benefits of sharia financing, such as easy access and simple procedures. On the other hand, the interest of young entrepreneurs in Sharia financing is still relatively low. This is due to the need for more socialization and support from Sharia financial institutions and limited financing options. Theoretically, this study can be used as a reference for relevant research in the future. Practically, this study can be a reference for Sharia financial institutions in designing marketing strategies and developing financing products that meet prospective customers' needs so that they can have a positive impact and increase interest and awareness of the importance of Sharia financing among young entrepreneurs.
Comparative Analysis of Heat Transfer Coefficient Using Experimental Data and Empirical Expressions
Authors: Güler Birkut
Published: October 2024

This study aims to determine the heat transfer coefficient by comparing results obtained from both experimental methods and empirical expressions. A controlled experiment involving the flow of water through a polyethylene hose was conducted, and the heat transfer coefficient was calculated based on inlet and outlet temperatures. These findings were then compared with values derived from empirical correlations, specifically the Sieder-Tate equation, to assess accuracy and reliability. The experimental setup maintained consistent boundary conditions, including water inlet temperature, airflow rate, and hose orientation. The results indicated that the experimentally determined heat transfer coefficient was 48.30 W/(m²·K), while the empirical calculation yielded a value of 53.44 W/(m²·K). The slight discrepancy between these values highlights minor experimental errors and assumptions inherent in empirical models. Overall, the close agreement between the experimental and empirical values validates the use of empirical correlations for predicting heat transfer coefficients in similar configurations. This study provides valuable insights for optimizing heat transfer processes in various industrial and engineering applications, emphasizing the importance of experimental validation. Future work could explore extended parameter ranges, advanced measurement techniques, and numerical simulations to further enhance the accuracy and applicability of the findings.

The research focuses on identifying distinct SR signals using advanced text mining and classification techniques, and their alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in signaling theory, which posits that firms communicate observable characteristics (SR content) to signal unobservable attributes (firm capabilities and sustainability performance). By applying this framework, we analyze how SR may act as a signaling mechanism for large-cap firms and sustainability leaders.
 
Method: This research collects 1,844 sustainability reports from listed Singapore firms between 2016 and 2022. Using a combination of Structural Topic Modeling (STM) and Random Forest (RF) classification models, we extracted and analyzed the key SR signals that differentiate firms by size and sustainability performance.
 
Results: The results indicate that SR signals such as community engagement, climate risk, and compliance are effective in distinguishing between large firms and firms with strong sustainability performance. The Random Forest models achieved high accuracy in identifying these groups. Community engagement, compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and sustainable construction were among the most impactful topics, with large firms focusing more on scope and governance, while sustainability leaders emphasized environmental risks and compliance.
 
Research Implications: The findings provide insights into the practical and theoretical implications of SR as a signaling tool. Key SR topics are identified as critical signals for firms with large capitalization and high sustainability performance, guiding firms in utilizing SR in the context of SDGs.
 
Originality/Value: The findings show that SR topics such as community engagement, climate risk, and compliance serve as key signals for differentiating firms by size and sustainability performance. Firms can strategically emphasize these areas to enhance their SR practices while contributing to broader SDGs.The findings provide insights into the practical and theoretical implications of SR as a signaling tool.

Authors: Gandolfi Franco , Stone Seth , Gano Margaret , Nasrah Siti Khadijah Mohammed
Published: October 2024

Objective: This paper critically examines the pervasive issue of toxic leadership, focusing on its detrimental effects on both organizations and individuals. It aims to establish the direct link between toxic leadership and diminished employee engagement, underscoring the importance of addressing these challenges to drive positive organizational outcomes. By identifying and mitigating toxic leadership behaviors, organizations can not only foster healthier workplace environments but also contribute meaningfully to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 8, which emphasizes the creation of decent work and sustainable economic growth. The paper argues that toxic leadership undermines organizational stability and growth by eroding employee well-being, productivity, and morale, ultimately impeding the achievement of global goals centered on inclusivity, equality, and sustainable development.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework is based in the very practical reality that toxic leadership has been widely acknowledged for its damaging effects, yet there remains a deep gap in understanding how these behaviors manifest themselves in real-world settings. Drawing on the construct of employee or follower engagement, the methodology of this study highlights engagement as a critical tool for identifying and mitigating the presence of toxic leadership within organizations.
 
Results: The results and discussion demonstrate how to use employee engagement to understand if toxic leadership is present within an organization.
 
Implications: The research implications of this study underscore the urgency of implementing checks and balances in leadership to foster healthier organizational cultures concluding with insights for further research, the paper calls for continued discourse and actionable strategies to eliminate toxic leadership and promote organizational well-being. Through a comprehensive review of healthy versus toxic leadership traits, the originality and unique value of this study is the introduction of a new term, "toxic engagement."
 
Conclusions: A proposed framework for detecting early signs of toxic leadership by evaluating follower engagement metrics. This framework aims to offer organizations practical means to detect, recognize, and address toxic behaviors before irreversible damage occurs.

Published: October 2024

Sirenomelia or mermaid syndrome is a Very Rare congenital Defect (VRD) with a reported prevalence of 0.98 per 100,000 births, where the normally paired lower limbs are replaced by a single midline limb. With few exceptions, sirenomelia is a lethal condition in the perinatal period associated with genital, large bowel, urinary, cardiac or central nervous system defects along with other VRDs such as bladder exstrophy, cyclopia/holoprosencephaly and acardia-acephalus. Antenatal diagnosis of sirenomelia by ultrasound is often impaired by oligohydramnios resulting from the frequently associated bilateral renal a/dysgenesis. A case report describes a live birth by normal vaginal delivery presenting with a single midline limb, two feet and absence of external genitalia/anal orifice. Antenatal ultrasound scans revealed moderate to severe oligohydramnios, and poorly visualised foetal kidneys. This study describes the clinical presentation, associated malformations, and classification of sirenomelia.
Correlation between Teacher Motivation, Remuneration and Student Outcomes in Nigeria, with a Focus on Public versus Private Educational Institutions
Authors: Abubakar Fatima
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between teacher motivation, remuneration, and student outcomes in Nigeria, with a focus on public versus private educational institutions
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The investigation into the correlation between teacher motivation, remuneration, and student outcomes in Nigeria reveals a clear link between teacher incentives and student performance, with notable differences between public and private institutions. In private schools, where teachers generally receive higher salaries and better working conditions, student outcomes are significantly better, as measured by exam performance and retention rates. Conversely, in public schools, low teacher remuneration, lack of incentives, and inadequate working conditions result in low teacher motivation, which negatively impacts student outcomes.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Herzberg’s two-factor theory, expectancy theory & equity theory may be used to anchor future studies on the correlation between teacher motivation, remuneration, and student outcomes in Nigeria, with a focus on public versus private educational institutions. Performance-based remuneration systems should be implemented in public schools to enhance teacher motivation. Policymakers should establish a national remuneration framework that aligns public and private sector teacher pay, ensuring equity in compensation and reducing the motivation gap between the sectors.

Authors: John Jerry John
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of school feeding programs on student attendance and academic performance in Ghana, and its potential as a model for other West African nations
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Influence of school feeding programs in Ghana reveals that these initiatives significantly improve student attendance and academic performance, particularly in underserved and rural areas. By providing daily meals, the programs help reduce hunger, improve concentration, and boost overall participation in school activities. Attendance rates have notably increased as families are more motivated to send their children to school, knowing meals are provided.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, human capital theory & social ecological model (SEM) may be used to anchor future studies on the influence of school feeding programs on student attendance and academic performance in Ghana, and its potential as a model for other West African nations. To maximize the impact on both attendance and academic performance, programs should focus on improving the nutritional content and consistent delivery of meals. Ghana’s school feeding program should serve as a policy model for other West African nations, but adaptations must be made to fit the specific contexts of each country.
Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) to the Adolescents in Bangladesh: Policy Prospects and Challenges
Authors: Md. Shoaib-Bin-Habib , Eshna Raisa Hossain , Hosen Imran
Published: October 2024

Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are a concept of human rights applied to the sexuality and reproduction of human beings. Most Bangladeshis, especially adolescents in rural areas, are still unaware of these rights for countless reasons. A significant barrier towards such awareness is created. There has been some research in recent times covering various aspects of SRHR in Bangladesh. Nevertheless, the element that makes this research unique is that it is aiming to analyze in a doctrinal or qualitative manner if the existing laws and policies are enough to ensure that adolescents have access to knowledge and information on SRHR, or whether any major or minor reforms to existing legal framework are necessary. The research would like to prove the necessity of enacting legally enforceable national policies to ensure that adolescents in Bangladesh have access to SRHR education, which is very important in protecting their sexual and reproductive health and well- being.

VSegNet – A Variant SegNet for Improving Segmentation Accuracy in Medical Images with Class Imbalance and Limited Data
Authors: Dheivya Iyyakutty , Kumar Gurunathan Saravana
Published: October 2024

Deep learning methods for many medical image segmentation task encounter challenges like smaller datasets and class imbalance. This study proposes a variant SegNet (vSegNet) designed to deliver significantly accurate and reliable segmentation results on such datasets. The novelty lies in designing encoder and decoder blocks with an appropriate number of convolution layers and using the Dice score and Hausdorff distance (HD) as compound loss function in learning. This study used public datasets consisting of chest X-rays, axial CT slices, foot ulcer images, and subset of SPIDER dataset to benchmark the segmentation task of the proposed neural network model with other popular networks like U-Net, SegNet, DeepLabv3+, VGG16, MobileNetV2, and fully convolutional network (FCN). For the segmentation of lungs in chest X-rays, vertebral body in CT, augmented data for the previous case, foot ulcer dataset, and segmentation of vertebrae, intervertebral disks, and spinal canal in SPIDER dataset (MRI dataset) respectively, the proposed vSegNet performed with a Dice score of 0.96 ± 0.01, 0.90 ± 0.20, 0.95 ± 0.02, 0.86 ± 0.07, and 0.95 ± 0.01 and the HD of 14.33 ± 7.74, 8.45 ± 7.08, 7.99 ± 6.05, 29.32 ± 25.64, and 8.45 ± 2.81 with respect to the ground truth on the test dataset. These results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed model in delivering both higher segmentation accuracy and improved boundary delineation. The proposed network, vSegNet, has been demonstrated as an effective model for semantic segmentation on class-imbalanced smaller datasets, surpassing all other networks considered in this study in terms of mIoU, BF score, Dice score, HD, accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score on a variety of anatomical regions and medical imaging modalities.

MARKETING DIGITAL PARA STARTUPS: MARKETING DIGITAL PARA MICROEMPRESÁRIOS, UMA IDEIA REVOLUCIONÁRIA PARA ALCANÇAR O SUCESSO
Authors: Machado William Pacheco , Ferreira Hugo Silva
Published: October 2024

Who never faced lines to make a payment or even to buy a certain product. Some time ago we did this, wasting hours in market lines, banks, bookstores and airports. Nowadays we can do all of this, without having to queue, without leaving home or watching a movie; reducing waiting time, being able to receive at home. All of this is in the consumer's possession, through his Smartphone device. As a result, the importance of developing and working on an action plan with digital marketing grows; because every person who has a device your company will be there too. It is possible to ask scientifically how Digital Marketing is a factor influencing consumer behavior in the Brazilian economic sector, how often consumers buy over the internet. What companies face today is not a lack of inputs (raw materials and components), or service companies. And, yes, the lack of loyal customers (followers). Contemporary companies can manufacture products beyond what customers can consume. This increases the level of competition in the competitive market, and consumers are the winners. The success of an electronic business depends on many factors. It is not enough for the company to have a welltructured website, with an attractive design and the best technologies. Companies and startups must go beyond the perception of customers, they must engender a profitable reciprocal familiarity. The company needs to define its position in the market, and envision possible future scenarios. Digital Marketing is an undeniable reality that has been joining forces with traditional commerce, a versatile means of communication that integrates sales opportunities, customer relations and positive word of mouth advertising.

Published: October 2024

The objective of this work is to understand the economic, social, cultural, political, legal, and financial differences that require strategic planning for the internationalization of organizational activities. The methodology used was bibliographic, with a qualitative approach. Internationalization is an innovative aspect for the survival of organizations, and it should be a process guided by the economic, political, social, cultural, financial, and legal differences of the country where internationalization is sought, while also requiring a manager profile with specific personal, organizational, and professional attributes to overcome challenges in these aspects and avoid failures. The planning of internationalization should include various decision-making strategies on how to enter this market, such as mergers/acquisitions and foreign direct investment, both of which have advantages and disadvantages that should be analyzed concerning cost/benefit relationships and threats/opportunities for small, medium, and large organizations as well as emerging ones. Successful cases of internationalization of Brazilian companies contribute to this process, such that the competition of globalized companies emerges as a line of thought that enables their survival in terms of competitive strategies.

The structure used in the development takes into account the practical application of business intelligence in decision making, in the adjustment of internal logistics and in its recovery in the educational segment, through information provided by its President Raul Pedro da Costa and bibliographic arguments. The unforeseen external pandemic factor proved to be fundamental to the reinvention of the institution, strongly marked by connections and high-impact experiential classes for its students. Difficulties existed along the way, such as layoffs and reformulation of the team, in addition to promoting decentralized management to the detriment of the previous centralization and strategies for valuing emotional human capital with the encouragement of the convergence of employees' expectations to corporate desires. The migration of face-to-face experience to the digital world, combined with the opportunities of the moment, proved to be a timely strategy for institutional growth with a genuine impact on sales.

The objective of this work is to highlight the importance of corporate governance for the financial management of business organizations. In this sense, a bibliographic research methodology was chosen. Corporate governance fosters the credibility of organizations by providing financial information that determines the decision-making processes of internal and external stakeholders. In this case, the financial manager who practices governance must demonstrate characteristics and competencies focused on ethics and transparency so that the organization's financial performance is achieved through a systemic vision correlated with the internal and external sectors of the companies, permeated by both good governance practices and the increase of investment capital. Thus, corporate governance plays an important role in contributing to organizations by minimizing risks, reducing indebtedness, and increasing the market value of companies that implement it, as it is seen as a factor of respect for those who invest their capital in a business aiming for the profitability of their investment.
